Tensei Kenja Episode 2

"Trying Out a Party" is the second episode of the "Tensei Kenja" Anime adaptation.

''Yuji’s party members don’t have a high opinion of Tamers, but his tracking skills are too valuable to pass up. Maybe Yuji can change their minds once they see him in action.''

Synopsis
After registering as an adventurer in the town of Kilia, Yuji was introduced to a request and a party. Yuji, a tamer, is assigned to search for an enemy and heads into the forest with his new party, only to find that one of them has suddenly disappeared into the night.

Summary
Yuji reaches his intended destination Kilia, and he purchases meat for his tamed monsters from a butcher. As the monsters enjoy the meat, the sound of a bell resonates around the town. Yuji then learns from the butcher that the bell sounds originated from the church where a Priest from the Central city came from.

Afterward, Yuji goes to the local Adventurers Guild to register there. Initially, the receptionist hesitates to allow Yuji to join the guild, but clears him to join after seeing he has an Enemy Tracking skill. Reviewing the jobs on the guild board, Yuji is approached by the adventurers Rodis, Eris, and Lisa, who offers to join their party because of his tracking skills. Although Rodis is reluctant to allow Yuji to join because he's a tamer, Tina and Lisa note his shaky past with other parties he was affiliated with. So, as a compromise, Tiny and Lisa promise not to kick Rodis out if he agrees to allow Yuji into their party, and he agrees.

As the group head to their destination, a flashback shows the group accessing their job of locating an Earth-Dragon. Back in the present, Proud Wolf with several Slimes on his back scout ahead and report a pack of five wolves. The group then heads forward, and Rodis deals with the monster wolves. Although the Slimes could have handled the monsters, Yuji wanted to gauge his companion's capabilities.

That night they camp by a riverside, and Lisa and Tina try to pry Yuji about his Enemy Tracking skills. However, Rodis cuts in, suggests they get some rest, and delegates the turns they'll be taking of who'll be watching and sleeping.

A flashback shows Yuji awakening in the alternate world and learning from his stats that he's a Tamer. He then finds a tamed Slime by his side, leading him to a house where he finds a grimoire and learns several elemental spells from it. It's then that more Slimes appear and they all become tamed by him after they read the books around the house, Yuji's skill set increases exponentially. He then earns the title of Sage.

Awakened by a report from his slimes riding on Proud Wolf's back, they inform him that Rodis had abandoned his watch and was on the run to someplace. Some Slimes by his side then inform him that Tina and Lisa have gone missing. It turns out that the two were tailing Rodis, who were suspicious of him after he set up the watch schedule. Eventually, Rodis meets someone who plans to sell the girls for slaves and figures that Yuji will somehow die. The man Rodis met is in cahoots with a cult group called the Blue Moon of Salvation. Accidentally, Lisa and Tina set off the trap in the area while they try to escape, but Proud Wolf and the Slimes set off another one and appear like a giant beast. Not wanting to take a chance against it, the leader suggests they fall back and head back into the hut they were staying in. Taking advantage of the situation, Yuji casts Ranged Frost - Medium on the hut and completely freezes it.

Later, Sura coughs up the leader of the group, and Tina recognizes the person as Gelios, a famous bandit around those parts. Once that is settled, a new camping spot is found and set up by Yuji's slimes. As Tina and Lisa sleep, Yuji sits by the fireplace and recalls what Gelios said about the Blue Moon of Salvation and figures they were behind the attack on Phastan. However, he wonders what the calamity that Gelios mentioned was about.
