Why Eris Left Rudeus
The first episode of Season 3 begins with a sorrowful goodbye. Eris stands next to a sleeping Rudeus and remembers everything he has done for her since he saved her life.
Eris left Rudeus because she did not want to be a burden to him. She traveled to the Holy Land of Swords with Ghislaine to train under the Sword God, Gal Farion. Her goal was to become strong enough to protect him.
Her decision to leave caused Rudeus great pain. It led to erectile dysfunction and made him question his worth. He spent much of Season 2 trying to recover from this loss.
