Journey from Home
Once Will finally leaves the nest, he’s on a journey of self-discovery. After all, there’s a whole world just waiting to be explored. With the experiences and teachings of all three of his guardians, Will is ready to take on any challenge, as the Faraway Paladin.
He first meets a tsundere elf by the name Meneldor who’s got himself tied up in shady business. With the power and guidance of Gracefeel, Will is able to confront his conflict and convince him to join his effort.
He also meets a traveling merchant and songstress whom he helps out and travels with the first city he comes across, which of course is attacked by a dragon.
Inner Turmoil
Its no secret that William is all powerful. After all, his teachers were well known adventurers. But there’s this inner conflict that Will faces: He’s overpowered. Yeah doesn’t sound so bad, but this anime does something very unique. You see, power corrupts. And with a blade that heals upon inflicting damage, Will is a literally war machine.
There’s also the inner conflict of how to go about using the Goddess’ powers. Gracefeel allows Will to heal others, but he must realize he is merely borrowing her powers, as they are not his own.
So when his friends get hurt because of his lack of preparation, he has to realize its ok to rely on one’s own strength, but also the strength of others. After all, he’s no longer alone.
