I saw the "questioning one's beliefs" part in that scene (more or less), but nothing even remotely close to end of innocence. Revealing to have more personal reasons to become a huntress it's not end of innocence. The whole "we're not children anymore, but soldiers" bit is what I am talking about. Basically, they got their first taste of real war and a real fight for survival from which they had been sheltered. ...I was starting to see your point...until you said "real fight for survival".

I mean, you did see the episode, right? You did see how they curb-stomped Grimm after Grimm after Grimm, some even being slashed in half by stabs, none ever getting even close to them, with even the idiot dog surviving a whole day without even a scratch. The closest to that that I saw was that they were getting tired and it was getting dark.

And if that was their first taste of real war...then they haven't really tasted anything. I'm sure it will be like Zolnir said, that it hasn't happened yet.

They are still "children", they haven't become "soldiers" yet. They will, however, become soldiers in Vol.3.
