Fran Is Looking Forward to a New Adventure is the twelfth episode of the Reincarnated as a Sword anime series.

Summary
Fran, Teacher, Amanda, Jet Balz, and Victor are confronted by a white owl monster as hordes of Trick Spiders ambush Cruise's side. Soon, Fran rode on Jet's back and was accompanied by Amanda, who had carried Balz and Victor. While Balz and Victor are reunited with Krad and Gennel, Fran has Jet rescue the remaining adventurers trapped by the Trick Spiders' webs. Both Fran and Amanda then respectively use fire and wind spells to eliminate the remaining spiders surrounding the area. The white owl monster turned out to be Rig's familiar Taluua.

Close by, the Trickster Spider is revealed to have been there, and Fran decides to attack it, but the spider uses its babies webs to create a shield for itself. Rig then has Taluua heal everyone with its magic, and with that, Cruise has Fran deal with the Trickster Spider while he and everyone else takes care of the Trick Spiders.

Using Flare Burst, Fran destroys the Trickster Spider's Shield Web, and rides on top of Jet with Teacher enchanted with Fire Magic to slay the Trickster Spider. However, the Trickster Spider entraps her in a sphere comprised of Trick Spiders so that it can escape. In order to break out of their entrapment, Fran and Teacher duo cast Stun Bolt, allowing them to sequentially break free of their entrapment and stun the Trickster Spider.

The Trickster Spider's retaliation causes Fran to become overwhelmed, triggering Amanda, who defeats it and destroys its crystal. Doing this upsets Fran, who had wanted to finish off the Trickster Spider herself, which makes Amanda disheartened by her actions. After locating a newfound passageway, the group located where the dungeon core and the crystals were and proceeded to collect them.

That night, Fran asks Amanda if she has ever encountered anyone in the Black Cat tribe who has evolved, but she has not. She does recall a couple of Black Cats who wanted to evolve and vows to support Fran.

Reporting back to Klimt, the GM praises Fran for her recent accomplishments in the dungeon excavation. Because of them, Klimt allows Fran to explore the Ulmutt Mine and advises her to check her job classes too. Fran does so with Nell's assistance, and of the available new classes, she chooses Battlemage.

Afterward, Fran visits Garrus' workshop to pick up the armor she commissioned called the Black Cat armor. Since the items in the armor set were named, they were thereby given a divine blessing by the Beast Gods. Although seemingly pleased with the armor set, Teacher has a snit with Garrus about how her abdomen area was exposed. However, Garrus' explanation clears things up with Teacher about the preferential tastes of Cat Kind, and demonstrates how even though exposed, it's protected thanks to the divine protection granted by the gods. It also turns out that Garrus was heading toward, Ulmutt as well, but instead of by sea like Fran and Teacher, he plans on going through the mountains.

The following day, Fran is seen off by all of the friends that she made in Alessa and, after she says her goodbyes to them all, rides off on Jet.

Meanwhile, Rig is shown to be Klimt's nephew, who was tasked with investigating reports made with the Trick Spider Dungeon that was said to be connected to August Allsand. He hatched a plot to divert control of the dungeon from Alessa Raydoss. Rig was also tasked with spying on Fran to see if she was a spy for Raydoss, but that notion was dismissed after hearing Taluua's report.

Elsewhere, Fran rode on Jet to a destination unknown.

After the credits, Fran flies on Teacher while heading toward a flying island, only to be ambushed by an undead monster. Fran then crash-landed in a house where a man calling himself Jean du Vix a necromancer.
