Mushoku Tensei II - Episode 0

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation begins its second season with an episode that does not focus on the protagonist Rudy, but instead on Sylphiette, serving as an introduction or reintroduction of the character.

Sylphy, propelled by the mana storm, lands in the Asura Kingdom. Using wind magic, she manages to cushion her fall and accidentally lands on a monster, saving Princess Ariel Anemoi Asura in the process. During this event, Sylphy's hair transforms from green to white.

Impressed by Sylphy's abilities, Princess Ariel hires her as a bodyguard and names her Fitz. Ariel insists that Sylphy disguise herself as a man, as the kingdom's norms do not allow women to serve as knights. Sylphy, who remains silent in public, earns the title "Silent Fitz."

At first, Princess Ariel appears content with a simple life without ambitions, as she is fourth in line for the throne. However, as the episode progresses, a more determined side of Ariel emerges. Discreetly, she begins garnering the support of nobles and the populace, harboring ambitions to claim the throne.

Ariel's schemes are not limited to political maneuvering. Using a combination of deception and threats, she forces Sylphy to stay by her side. It also becomes clear that Ariel harbors romantic feelings for Sylphy.

Later in the episode, a mysterious figure called Night-Eyed Hawk is introduced, who infiltrates Ariel's room while she is in bed with Sylphy.

Night-Eyed Hawk turns out to be an assassin known for killing nobles. Now, she has set her sights on Princess Ariel.

It is revealed that the assassination attempt by Night-Eyed Hawk was orchestrated by Ariel's older brother, Grabel. Grabel, who holds a position closer to the throne than Ariel, sees her as a political threat due to her popularity among the people. He despises her because she is the daughter of the queen, while he himself was born from a concubine.
