    The thing with Grey seems to be that he was always highly talented but he didn’t really bother to exert himself - he was just sort of coasting until he met the kids.

    Emilia and her group apparently saw his potential, and they were just waiting for him to finally step up (well, and apparently Emilia is hoping for some romance too).

    And now it’s all coming together - Grey finally has a reason to rise to his potential, and Emilia and the rest are perfectly positioned to help.

    And the kids themselves seem to be significant - likely the most significant characters in the long run. I expect that even the youngest ones are going to play a crucial role before this is all over.

    And that illustrates a lot of what I love about this series. Each chapter is good in and of itself, but more importantly really, the author is obviously laying the groundwork for something truly epic.
