I'm pleasantly surprised we still got to see Rina's POV. I was afraid it was just gonna be Asley, Pochi and Melki for a while, but it turns out the "next arc" turned out to be a timeskip full of training montages under Melki's master. Asley's gotten a macho body but cheated a little by using magic to make it look like he didn't change as much. Meanwhile, Rina's become stacked in more ways than one...
