I mean...Nephele's location for recruitment was incredibly far out of the way, in a spot that technically doesn't exist on any map from this century. Also it doesn't say that Annalisse is any more durable than a regular slime, so the standard jelly weakness of Fire, Lightning, most forms of magic, etc are pretty effective against her, I'd think.

Mostly though, just trying to say that if Nephele meeting Bart is canon, then he's gone to some pretty far-flung places looking for something. Magnus' home is technically a dungeon too, if you think about it.

Didn't Neph come from Tulisan Forest which is pretty near the guild?

Anyway, Magnus and his family and Neph are both famous enough for Bart to have heard of them and be interested. Meanwhile, no one really knows who Annalise is.

Though, I suppose we can justify Bart meeting Annalise in a way. Now, we just have to find out if Annalise really can shakes off anything thrown at her.
