I’ve been enjoying this series.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

Ep 22 finally concludes the entrance exam arc and now we’re in the JCC - the school for assassins. This ep was funny. A couple of good twists. The fangirl discovering Sakamoto’s identity and having a fan crisis made me lol.
