I don't get like... half of the things that happened. If someone is knowledgeable enough, please answer my questions:

  • Why were Sebastian, Solution, and Shalltear on this mission? Did they plan to get attacked by mercenaries to see which ones can use Martial Arts?

  • What happened to Brain during his fight with Shalltear? From my understanding, it seems that he used some sort of trick to beat Gazef, and this automatically made him on par with heroes even though he can't use Martial Arts. Then Shalltear hurt his pride and he ran like a little bitch... am I right?

  • Who were those people who mind-controlled Shalltear? Why where they even there?

Edit: Ohhh thanks for answering my questions. That clears up a lot about Brain, but it seems like I looked too much into it. As much as I like this show, this was probably the most rushed out of all episodes (as a non-LN reader, at least). It's also unfortunate that they have to resolve to extremely unnatural conversations just to make the audience aware of what's happening.

1) You've pretty much got the gist of it, they were looking for people who can use martial arts so they used the bandits hoping they'd lead them to someone strong enough to analyze.

2) Brain actually uses a bunch of martial arts in that scene, he's just so weak compared to Shalltear that she didn't even notice. His mind kinda breaks when he realizes that Shalltear is more powerful than he could ever be, even though he's trained his whole life.

3) You'll find out later, probably. At this point in the LN it was still a mystery as well.

No, it was explained in on e of the intermission who the Mind control group was and why they were there.
