Not just because we don’t come across any other witches in this volume (aside from Elaina’s teacher in flashbacks) but also because Elaina forms a “deep” bond with a fellow magic user, Saya, in this first chapter that just doesn’t feel earned. I do think it was an odd move for the story to begin with Elaina visiting a country of just magic users. Even if the story is episodic I do need some motivation for her to travel, even if it’s as simple as a desire to see the world. She doesn’t appear to be on a quest, and while it seems like she does want to see her teacher again, I think she knows exactly where her old teacher is (i.e, she isn’t searching for her), and it doesn’t seem like witches are required to travel or anything like that. We do spend time learning how Elaina became a witch and to an extent why she wanted to become a witch (and how magic works in this fantasy world), but anything beyond that seems to be an unintentional mystery and that left me feeling disconnected from her. This is perfectly fine, but I also wish it had started off with a little more grounding. The Journey of Elaina starts off episodic, perhaps like a magical Kino’s Journey, and it seems like it’s going to remain episodic for at least the near future. A loner by result, but perhaps not by nature, Elaina is using her magic to travel the world, see new sites, and maybe sometimes help make some small parts of it a better place. She’s talented but still young and, given how selective the witch exams are, she’s extraordinary young to be a full-fledged witch. Once the clock strikes six, Selena's corpse fall to the ground and the witches returned to the present.Īfter these events, this created an alternate timeline where Selena is never executed and Elaina never experience the time travel magic with Estelle.Helen: Elaina is a witch - she wasn’t born as one but she had to train hard to become one, just like everyone else. Heartbroken by this, Estelle uses her magic to attack Selena and burns the memories of her in order to kill her. However, Estelle overheard the exchange and throws Selena to a wall. Selena is amused by this and charges at Elaina. She asks who Elaina was, the latter tells her that she and Estella came from the future to save her from becoming a murderer. Selena tells Elaina that her parents were abusive and pretended to be a happy family who lived in a broken home. Later at sunset, Elaina finds Selena in a alley, standing in a hellscape of flames, blood and corpses of her parents and Estella, and turns to face Elaina, and laughs with blood covering her teeth and stomping on Estelle's body. Selena says goodbye while Estella goes off to find and save Selena's parents. Estella apologizes to Selena for not being able to save her and vows to save her this time. After capturing Selena, Estella executed her under the order of the king for the murder of her parents and uncle.Įlaina and Estella arrives three years in the past through the use of time travel magic and meets Selena. Estelle, not knowing about her best friend's torment, believes that Selena only became a murderer after killing her uncle. In return, she stabbed him multiple times and went on a killing spree. After she murders them, her uncle took her in, who also abused Selena. But in reality, Selena was a broken girl who was sexually abused by her father while her mother ignored her or beating her out of jealousy.

The abuse from her parents and uncle snapped her into a nihilistic and misanthropic serial killer that hates the world and everything in it, even her best friend Estelle, who was the only person to show her any affection.ĭuring her childhood, Selena and Estella had a friendly relationship, who sees the former as a happy and loving sister.
