The official website has released spoiler stills and synopsis of "Seirei Gensouki - Spirit Chronicles" Episode 3. The spoilers suggest five years have passed since Rio's transfer to the Beltrum Royal Academy. The students are preparing for the upcoming outdoor exercises and graduation exams.

In the previous episode, professor Claire Celia introduced Rio, who was a transfer student from the slums. After saving Princess Flora from the kidnappers, the king was impressed and enrolled him in the prestigious magic school.

Despite the bullying, Rio vowed to study hard. He gave his best and earned the trust of his instructors. Unfortunately, the other students were jealous of his skills and even looked down upon him because he came from the slums.

"As a reward for saving the kidnapped Princess Flora, Rio has been enrolled in the primary school branch of the Beltrum Royal Academy. However, the students at the academy are mostly the children of royalty and the nobility, and they do not welcome the orphaned Rio. With so many scornful gazes turned toward him, there is one person who worries for him—Celia, a girl of twelve who is nonetheless, at her young age, the lecturer in charge of the primary school. As Rio cannot read, Professor Celia begins privately tutoring him after school," read the synopsis of Episode 2, according to Crunchyroll.
