Oi come on, I was expecting more of the waifu-in-training shenanigans while MC tries to grasp the secret of magic. That was actually better part of this manga
I really hope that the sudden carriage scene was just one time joke about last arc and it won't turn into rehash of sword city but with magic.
But who I am even kidding, get ready for MC climbing a Magic Tower (dungeon), going to the top and defeating Divine Sorcerer since his Dad also evolved into Divine Sorcerer just before he left the Magic City with Mom. Then the evil mage will take a wand with demon sealed inside and yadda yadda
