Payback: Money and Power Season 1 Episode 2 Video Mp4 Download Movie

While the first episode focuses almost entirely on Miyuki, the second episode is centered around the other two Bloom students in Tatsuya’s clique—Honoka and Shizuku. Set during episode one and two of The irregular at magic high school‘s first season, this episode does something I thought impossible: make Honoka likeable.

In the main series, Honoka is the “shy innocent”; she is constantly pining after Tatsuya while he is oblivious (or at least pretending to be oblivious) to her affections. Her entire personality boils down to her lovelorn nature—to the point where it is basically the driving force behind the climax of the second season.

However, in The Honor Student at Magic High School, Honoka is far less one-note. Rather than being purely Tatsuya-focused, we see that she is actually Miyuki-focused more than anything else. Despite being a top-class mage and a buxom beauty herself, she feels inferior to Miyuki. From the start, their friendship is an unequal one with Honoka forcing herself into the subservient role. It speaks of a deep-rooted insecurity and one that I eagerly await learning about.

The other thing we learn is that Honoka and Shizuku were every bit as elitist as the other Blooms heading into magic high school. They truly believed that being a Bloom made them better mages than the Weeds and reveled in that fact. However, the important distinction here is that they never thought themselves to be better overall people due to their powers. And when confronted with Tatsuya’s obvious skill—and the pain that the Weeds/Blooms dichotomy is inflicting upon Miyuki—they are able to reflect on their misguided assumptions and grow as people.

Eun Yong has led a rough life since losing his parents at a young age. His goal is to live a happy life with his sister Ji-hee and her son Tae-chun. After making a great fortune and living in Mongolia free from worldly cares, Eun returns to Korea to protect the ones he loves.
