In the second episode of the second season of The Ancient Magus' Bride, "Birds of a Feather Flock Together," we see Chise and Elias settling into their new life at the College of Magic. The episode offers an interesting mix of character development, world-building, and a hint of intrigue. As Chise adapts to her new surroundings, the stage is set for further magical adventures and discoveries.
The episode begins with Elias walking through the halls of the college in human form as a new teacher, while Chise tries to find her footing in her new environment. We meet Philomela, a fellow student who struggles with her nervousness. Chise's kindness and willingness to help her classmates are shown when she offers Philomela teas and lavender scents to aid her condition.
In the classroom, Narcisse Maugham, a teacher at the college, leads Chise's first lesson. Later, Elias takes the stage to explain the difference between mages and sorcerers, deepening the magical lore of the series. This lesson forms the basis for the practical task in which students must ask magical beings for help to light candles—but only with their consent.
The scene where the fire salamander attacks May, a student who insulted the creature, serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting magical beings. Elias's intervention and his advice for students lacking magical aptitude emphasize the idea that the path of magic is not for everyone.
Chise's encounter with Rian Scrimgeour, a student who wants to learn magic from her, hints at the possibility of new friendships and alliances. The episode ends with a mysterious event: two individuals gain access to a secret room in the college's basement, setting the stage for potential intrigues and dangers.
