Episode 2 Plot: Wendelin decides to keep his magic secret after learning it would move him ahead of Kurt to inherit the lordship, risking assassination by Kurt. Alfred discovers Wendelin has an extraordinarily high magic capacity. Alfred displays unusual symptoms: cold skin, no sense of taste and bouts of pain. Wendelin’s strange behaviour draws Kurt’s attention until Wendelin announces he wants to be an adventurer, making Kurt less suspicious. The kingdom's Adventurers Academy is expensive, so Wendelin decides to work to pay his own tuition. To help with travelling Alfred teaches Wendelin flight magic. Wendelin’s father hears a rumour of a Whispering Dead nearby, a sentient corpse doomed to become a mindless zombie. Wendelin realises he means Alfred and confronts him. Alfred admits he is dead due to a failed expedition but came back as a Whispering Dead to pass on his knowledge to an apprentice. Having done so, he teaches Wendelin holy magic to purge him and let him pass to the afterlife. Years later Wendelin leaves his family to become an adventurer.
