In this article, we provide a detailed recap of episode 12 of The Beginning After The End. Be mindful that we will be discussing key plot points, so spoilers follow!

2. Episode 12 Recap
Episode 12 opened with Jasmine guiding Arthur to the headquarters of the Xyrus Adventurers’ Guild, where he met Kaspian Bladeheart, an AA-ranked adventurer and an acquaintance of Jasmine. Leveraging his connections, Arthur was able to skip the usual formalities and proceed directly to the final trial for his adventurer rank test.
The trial included several other children of Arthur’s age, two of whom impressively secured B ranks. Lucas Wykes, a remarkable half-elf, showcased his abilities with flame magic but struggled to maintain control, resulting in a B rank. In contrast, another contestant, Elijah Night, received a B rank without a test, seemingly due to some underlying corruption influencing the rankings. Nonetheless, his ranking was characterized as demonstrating B rank skill.
During Arthur’s assessment, Kaspian stepped in as proctor, likely due to the intimidating aura Arthur displayed before the confrontation—an effort to prevent any potential injuries.
While the details of the duel between Arthur and Kaspian were somewhat limited in this episode, it was evident Arthur demonstrated considerable skill yet misjudged his capabilities. Ultimately, he, too, received a B rank, aligning with the ranks earned by Lucas and Elijah.
Some viewers may find this outcome disappointing; however, it’s essential to remember that Arthur is still young, and his physical development has not fully matched his burgeoning magical abilities. Achieving a B-ranked status is commendable. Additionally, the episode provided insight into Jasmine’s past, revealing her origins from a prestigious family that discarded her for lacking proficiency in the coveted flame magic, their family’s primary skill. This shared experience fostered a deep connection between Arthur and Jasmine.
3. Speculative Insights on Episode 13
Looking ahead to episode 13, set to release in 2026, the story will advance two years into the future. The post-credit scene teased a glimpse of Arthur’s grown-up appearance—he remains smaller than Jasmine—but hints at his rising reputation in the adventuring community.
While specific adventures are yet to be disclosed, it appears that Arthur’s journey will coincide with his upcoming enrollment in Xyrus Academy, as per his commitment to the director, Cynthia. We can also anticipate further encounters with Elijah and Lucas, who have been established as pivotal characters for the story’s progression.
