its not common but there have been anime in the past that will tease future events of a LN even though they dont end up in the anime, but like i said its not common though. i originally said the 1-3 volumes because normally in a 12-13 long anime youll have 2 or 3 climactic situations, trying to do more than that will probably lead to rushing. i really think itd be impossible to get that far in 13 episodes since youd need atleast 3 episodes per book and if they tried to make it all the way to 6 it definitely wouldnt work. a different theory is they may just be trying to add interest via the opening by showing off all the characters, from what i understand sebas and coctyus dont have very important roles in the first 3 novels so to prevent those characters from going to waste they may add some scenes.
