I Left My A-Rank Party episode 2 started with Yuke and the rest of the Clover Party discussing their last dungeon run from episode 1. While discussing their dungeon run, Yuke brings up the overall awkwardness that should have been there, given his sudden entry into the party. Although Yuke expressed his reservations about taking charge of a party shortly after joining it, his students reassured him and approved of his leadership.

Soon, Marina, Rain, and Silk appointed Yuke as the official leader of the Clover Party. The episode then cuts to the Thunder Pike, Yuke's last party, having a hard time in the dungeons due to Yuke's absence. The Thunder Pikes then leave the dungeon and blame their new recruit, who ends up leaving the party, similar to how Yuke did.

Although Yuke notices this entire situation, he decides to ignore it. The entire Clover Party then maps out their next course of action, which includes Yuke restocking supplies of potions, holy water, and various other dungeon essentials. Yuke comes across an odd adventurer with noble attire, only for the unknown adventurer to engage Yuke in a physical confrontation. Fortunately, Yuke easily de-escalates the situation.

The I Left My A-Rank Party anime episode 2 then cuts to Yuke, who learns that the mysterious adventurer was someone pursuing Yuke's students and wanted to join their party as a favor.

The entire party later decides to take up a C-rank gathering quest, which raises Yuke's suspicions since gathering quests only reach D-rank at their most difficult. Despite his reservations, the Clover Party embarks on the quest, where they come across a high-level dungeon monster, well beyond their current level.

Although Yuke urges the rest of his party to retreat and contact the adventurer guild, they refuse to accompany Yuke against the dungeon monster. The episode ends with Yuke unleashing one of his strongest spells against the monster.
