Shizu-san's Students

Shizu-san's Students (シズさんの教え子達) is the twenty-first episode of the anime adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Synopsis
Shizu's students don't show Rimuru much respect so they decide to show them the difference in their skill and gain their respect in a series of one-on-one duels. Kenya uses fire magic, Chloe water magic, Gale fires aura bullets, Ryota uses body enhancement skills, and Alice uses puppetry to control toys to attack them.

They lose, but the level of energy in their souls doesn't decrease, nor can Degenerate separate their magicules from them, as its fused with their souls. After Rimuru shows them Shizu's mask and promises to save them all, they call them Sensei.

Rimuru visits Treyni, believing the children will be fine if they can make Greater Elementals inhabit them. Shizu was summoned as a small child, but lived to adulthood, possibly because of Ifrit.

Treyni tells them to go the Dwelling of Spirits, but with the Elemental Queen the dryads served dead, they have lost their link to it and can no longer find the entrance.

While on a picnic with the students, they see a Sky Dragon heading to the capital, but Rimuru interferes and eats it with Gluttony. Gard Mjöllmile, a merchant Rimuru saved, invites them to dinner.

Mjöllmile's intelligence network has told him who Rimuru is and Rimuru invites him to come to Tempest to help them sell their wares. He agrees. Mjöllmile's assistant prays for the Elemental Queen to protect the children and answers a curious Rimuru's questions. She came from a country near the Dwelling of Spirits and is more than willing to share its location. Rimuru, Ranga, and children head towards its location with enthusiasm.

Summary
Rimuru calls attendance for their newly acquired students, but, when having failed to get a response out of them, Rimuru resorts to using Ranga to threaten them into behaving. Though Rimuru acknowledges it isn't fair to do so, the first order of business for the day is a test of the class's basic combat abilities.

Through the test, Rimuru notes that Kenya possesses very weak fire magic and decent swordsmanship. Chloe possesses strong water magic and is somewhat ruthless in battle. Gale Fires off magic bullets made of Aura. Ryouta can enter a berserker-like state with a body enhancement skill. And finally, Alice can manipulate stuffed animals with Golemancy.

Rimuru is concerned that none of the children have managed to burn off any of the excess magic in their bodies during their training exercise. Rimuru considers trying to use Degenerate to forcibly strip them of their excess energy, though Great Sage notes that the magicules are merged with their very souls, they can't remove it without killing them.

Instead, Rimuru produces Shizu's Anti-Magic Mask and explains that their former master entrusted it to them along with responsibility over all of them, and so Rimjru promises them that they will save them. Using the newly established network of warp portals, Rimuru travels back to Jura Forest, where they have a meeting with Treyni hoping to use her knowledge of the spirit realm to find Greater Elementals like Ifrit.

Rimuru's logic is that Shizu was able to live to adulthood because she had a greater element possessing her to stabilize her rampaging Magicules. If Rimuru is able to find more, then they can use them to stabilize the kids in the same way. Treyni states that Rimuru would have to travel to the Dwelling of Spiritss, but she no longer has a working entrance to the realm.

A month after becoming a teacher, Rimuru is hosting another battle magic class when they spot a Sky Dragon flying overhead and attacking the city. Instructing Ranga to stay behind and look after the children, Rimuru alters his form into a slightly older one as a disguise, before flying up to and eating the dragon with Gluttony.

A merchant named Gard Mjöllmile witnesses Rimuru saving his life so he invites them and the children to dinner that night. After sending the merchant to his town. Rimuru overhears the waitress offer a prayer for the children to the Elemental Queen. Rimuru is able to extract the location of the Dwelling of Spirits from her for a hefty sum of gold. Thus, Rimuru, the children, and Ranga travel to the Ulgrasia Republic.
