SIGN     Forming
     a Party
[02:35] ROMANTICA
    Are you really sure this is okay?
[02:40] DESIR
    I spoke to them in advance to confirm.
[02:46] DESIR
    This is Desir Herrman.
[02:48] BRIGITTE
    Come in.
[02:51] DESIR
    Excuse me.
[02:53] BRIGITTE
    It seems you have enough party members.
[02:55] DESIR
    Yes. I've come to apply to form a party.
[02:59] DESIR
    Professor Brigitte.
[03:06] BRIGITTE
    Enjoy.
[03:13] ROMANTICA
    This is tasty!
[03:14] BRIGITTE
    I'm glad you like it.
[03:20] BRIGITTE
    Help yourselves to the sweets.
[03:35] ROMANTICA
    So adorable!
[03:38] BRIGITTE
    Well, why don't we get down to business?
[03:42] BRIGITTE
    Desir Herrman, can you tell me
    why you want to form a party?
[03:48] DESIR
    I'm planning to get promoted to the alpha
    class by winning the ranking tournament.
[03:57] BRIGITTE
    Do you have any idea how difficult that is?
[04:02] DESIR
    Of course I do.
[04:04] PRAM
    Um... Is getting promoted that hard to do?
[04:09] BRIGITTE
    Yes.
[04:11] BRIGITTE
    First, I'll explain how
    the ranking tournament works.
[04:14] BRIGITTE
    The ranking tournament is an exam to
    determine the ranks of students in each grade.
[04:24] BRIGITTE
    It's conducted with the alpha
    and beta classes together,
[04:27] BRIGITTE
    and eligibility to participate requires
    a party of three to six members.
[04:34] BRIGITTE
    The exam takes the form of a
    battle between two parties.
[04:38] BRIGITTE
    Basically, the winning party's rank goes up.
[04:42] ROMANTICA
    That means parties with more
    members are at advantage.
[04:47] BRIGITTE
    Not necessarily, since individual
    achievements are assessed.
[04:51] BRIGITTE
    Besides beating the opponents,
[04:53] BRIGITTE
    supporting your party members,
    intercepting the opponents...
[04:56] BRIGITTE
    The key is how much you have contributed
    to the victory of your party.
[05:01] ROMANTICA
    I see.
[05:03] BRIGITTE
    The objective of the ranking tournament is
    to assess the various skills of the students.
[05:11] BRIGITTE
    All of that is for qualifying rounds.
[05:14] BRIGITTE
    The winning parties will
    participate in the final rounds.
[05:19] BRIGITTE
    They take place in a Shadow World.
[05:26] BRIGITTE
    Those who place within the top nine
    are given the title of single rankers.
[05:33] BRIGITTE
    If you become a single ranker,
[05:35] BRIGITTE
    you can advance from
    the beta class to the alpha class.
[05:39] BRIGITTE
    That's why the ranking tournament
    is also called a promotional tournament.
[05:43] BRIGITTE
    But no one has ever been promoted before.
[05:48] ROMANTICA
    That's no surprise!
[05:49] ROMANTICA
    Just think about the advantage
    alpha has over beta...
[05:56] ROMANTICA
    It'll be completely one-sided.
[05:58] BRIGITTE
    Right.
[05:59] BRIGITTE
    In the past exams, the top students
    were all from the alpha class.
[06:05] BRIGITTE
    I'll be honest with you.
[06:06] BRIGITTE
    It's impossible to get promoted.
[06:09] DESIR
    That's why it's worth doing.
[06:10] ROMANTICA
    Excuse me?!
[06:12] DESIR
    Think about it.
[06:15] DESIR
    What if a party of three, all of them in beta,
     became single rankers?
[06:22] DESIR
    It would prove the professors here, who
    claim the beta class isn't worth teaching
[06:29] DESIR
    because we're untalented, are all wrong.
[06:33] BRIGITTE
    I'm a professor here, too, you know?
[06:37] DESIR
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[06:38] BRIGITTE
    I'm kidding.
[06:40] BRIGITTE
    If you can become single rankers...
[06:45] BRIGITTE
    You might become the trigger to overhaul
    the rotten system at this academy.
[06:51] DESIR
    Yes, ma'am!
[06:53] BRIGITTE
    I like your spirit.
[06:55] BRIGITTE
    Lastly...
[06:57] BRIGITTE
    Romantica Eru.
[06:58] ROMANTICA
    Y-Yes.
[07:00] BRIGITTE
    Pram Schnaizer.
[07:02] PRAM
    Yes?
[07:03] BRIGITTE
    All party members' agreement
    is necessary to form a party.
[07:07] BRIGITTE
    Do you still want to join his party
    after hearing all of this?
[07:26] ROMANTICA
    Wow. I didn't know we had
    a place like this here.
[07:33] ROMANTICA
    They practice all they want
    in a good environment.
[07:36] ROMANTICA
    Must be nice.
[07:38] DESIR
    Only alpha class is allowed to use it.
[07:43] DESIR
    This is what we're allowed to use.
[07:50] ROMANTICA
    Huh?! What the heck?!
[07:53] ROMANTICA
    Y-You can't be serious!
[07:55] ROMANTICA
    Are you really sure it's here?!
[07:59] ROMANTICA
    The floor's creaking!
[08:02] PRAM
    Such a difference from the place we just saw.
[08:05] PRAM
    Agh, and so much dust...
[08:08] DESIR
    I'm sure it'll grow on us.
[08:11] DESIR
    Hmm?
[08:18] DESIR
    Wow... that's a big family.
[08:34] PRAM
    Holy moly...
[08:37] DESIR
    Well, then, let's clean up the room.
[08:39] ROMANTICA
    No way!
[08:41] ROMANTICA
    I can put up with dust and cobwebs
    and a worn-out room,
[08:44] ROMANTICA
    but I can't take the rats!
[08:46] DESIR
    But you know...
[08:48] ROMANTICA
    No!
[08:49] DESIR
    There's no other room.
[08:51] ROMANTICA
    No! Way!
[08:53] DESIR
    Professor Brigitte found this room for us.
[08:56] ROMANTICA
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no fricking way!
[09:00] DESIR
    Okay, fine.
[09:01] ROMANTICA
    So you'll find us another room?!
[09:04] DESIR
    I'll plug the rat holes.
[09:06] DESIR
    Romantica, you clean up the room.
[09:08] ROMANTICA
    Leave it to me!
[09:10] ROMANTICA
    I'm good at cleaning!
[09:12] ROMANTICA
    Oh, come on!
[09:13] ROMANTICA
    Were you listening to me?!
[09:15] ROMANTICA
    Were you?!
[09:16] ROMANTICA
    Hey, were you?!
[09:19] DESIR
    Romantica.
[09:20] ROMANTICA
    What?!
[09:21] DESIR
    I'm dead set on using this space.
[09:34] PRAM
    Where am I?
[09:37] PRAM
    Hello...?
[09:45] DESIR
    You woke up.
[09:47] DESIR
    That's good.
[09:48] DESIR
    I was just going to come wake you up.
[09:51] PRAM
    Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry!
[09:53] PRAM
    You pushed through your injury?!
[09:55] DESIR
    Don't worry about it.
[09:57] PRAM
    How could I not?!
[10:00] PRAM
    You took care of everything...
[10:02] DESIR
    It's quite all right.
[10:04] DESIR
    Okay, now that you're awake,
    shall we get going?
[10:09] ROMANTICA
    Yes...
[10:12] ROMANTICA
    Let's go back and I'll take a shower—
[10:14] DESIR
    To start training.
[10:15] ROMANTICA
    Excuse me?!
[10:18] DESIR
    So that we can become single rankers.
[10:25] (Flashback) BRIGITTE
    Do you still want to join his party?
[10:32] (Flashback) ROMANTICA/I
    Everyone in the alpha class
    is obviously stronger than me.
[10:37] (Flashback) ROMANTICA/I
    There's no way I can become
    a single ranker...
[10:45] (Flashback) ROMANTICA
    What?
[10:46] (Flashback) DESIR
    You're going to uncover my secret, right?
[10:49] (Flashback) DESIR
    What are you going to do, Romantica?
[10:52] (Flashback) ROMANTICA
    You really piss me off...
[10:55] (Flashback) ROMANTICA
    I will join him!
[10:57] (Flashback) BRIGITTE
    Very well.
[11:01] (Flashback) PRAM
    I will join so that I can spend
    more time with Desir.
[11:04] (Flashback) BRIGITTE
    I see... Ahem.
[11:08] (Flashback) BRIGITTE
    I will approve your application
    to form a party.
[11:13] ROMANTICA
    I knew I shouldn't have joined you.
[11:19] ROMANTICA
    Fine!
[11:20] ROMANTICA
    I'll do it, happy?!
[11:23] ROMANTICA
    Come on, let's go!
[11:27] DESIR
    Romantica.
[11:29] ROMANTICA
    What?
[11:32] DESIR
    The training room is this way.
[11:41] DESIR
    Romantica, I'm going to ask you
    to improve the accuracy of your magic.
[11:44] ROMANTICA
    I'm actually pretty good at that.
[11:54] ROMANTICA
    I can handle this many all at once, you see?
[11:57] DESIR
    Now fire them off.
[11:58] ROMANTICA
    Just you watch.
[12:02] ROMANTICA
    Wind Strike!
[12:09] ROMANTICA
    So?
[12:10] DESIR
    Right.
[12:12] DESIR
    See if you can get them all to hit the center.
[12:13] ROMANTICA
    What?!
[12:15] ROMANTICA
    That's impossible—
[12:16] DESIR
    We've got no chance against
    alpha class unless you do.
[12:22] DESIR/I
    I know you can do it.
[12:39] DESIR/I
    The you from my future proved that.
[12:44] DESIR
    Well, if you aren't confident,
    then I guess that's that.
[12:47] DESIR
    You can be the cleaner of
    this room until you graduate.
[12:54] ROMANTICA
    That smile of yours!
[12:55] ROMANTICA
    Ugh, jeez!
[12:57] ROMANTICA
    What do you want me to do?!
[13:02] ROMANTICA
    What's this?
[13:04] DESIR
    Move the ball... to the circle over there.
[13:11] DESIR
    But no throwing it.
[13:12] ROMANTICA
    Huh?
[13:13] DESIR
    Aren't you a mage?
[13:16] DESIR
    Manipulate the air current around
    the ball to move it to the circle.
[13:29] DESIR
    Wind magic is your forte, right?
[13:31] ROMANTICA
    Of course it is!
[13:33] DESIR
    The basics are the same.
[13:35] DESIR
    Just do like you normally do it.
[13:38] ROMANTICA
    Like I normally do...
[13:40] DESIR
    Visualize the wind.
[13:44] ROMANTICA
    Okay!
[13:53] ROMANTICA/I
    Warm...
[13:55] ROMANTICA/I
    Cold...
[13:57] ROMANTICA/I
    Refreshing...
[14:02] ROMANTICA/I
    Violent...
[14:05] ROMANTICA/I
    But more importantly... Free!
[14:10] ROMANTICA/I
    Now!
[14:23] DESIR/I
    Incredible.
[14:24] DESIR/I
    She got the hang of it in on the first try.
[14:27] DESIR
    While that memory is fresh,
    please repeat the same exercise.
[14:31] ROMANTICA
    Okay!
[14:33] ROMANTICA/I
    I got a compliment!
[14:36] DESIR
    Your turn, Pram.
[14:38] PRAM
    Okay!
[14:40] PRAM
    What should I do?
[14:42] PRAM
    Swordsmanship?
[14:43] PRAM
    You'll teach me, right? Right?
[14:47] DESIR
    Well, um...
[14:49] DESIR
    There's nothing I can teach you.
[14:53] PRAM
    What?!
[14:55] PRAM
    But why not?!
[14:58] DESIR
    You perfected your craft as a sword master.
[15:01] DESIR
    You should be strong enough to win
    the ranking tournament as you are.
[15:05] PRAM
    That... can't be true.
[15:13] DESIR/I
    If Pram demonstrates his
    full potential, that is.
[15:19] DESIR/I
    His swordsmanship, that tore through
    enemies with nothing but a rapier...
[15:24] DESIR/I
    It's not something I can forget.
[15:28] DESIR
    Pram, can I ask you a question?
[15:30] PRAM
    Yes?
[15:32] DESIR
    Why did you choose the great sword?
[15:36] DESIR
    When you were fighting the swordsman
    from the alpha class the other day...
[15:40] DESIR
    I don't think that's how you usually fight.
[15:45] DESIR
    Your weapon should be something much lighter
[15:47] DESIR
    that allows you to take
    advantage of your agility...
[15:50] DESIR
    A rapier. Am I wrong?
[15:54] DESIR
    What do you say?
[15:57] PRAM
    Do I need to... tell you?
[16:02] DESIR
    It concerns the overall
    combat skills of the party.
[16:05] DESIR
    I'd like to know.
[16:09] PRAM
    In that case, would you come with me?
[16:19] PRAM
    Um, what about Romantica's training?
[16:23] DESIR
    Oh...
[16:24] ROMANTICA
    Oh my gosh, check this out! So fun!!
[16:27] ROMANTICA
    Aren't I amazing?!
[16:32] DESIR
    I'd rather not interrupt her.
[16:35] DESIR
    I'm sure she'll be all right.
[16:41] PRAM
    You trust her.
[16:44] DESIR
    Yes, as much as I trust you.
[17:01] PRAM
    This is it.
[17:10] PRAM
    I don't know what my father looks like.
[17:13] PRAM
    My mother was a commoner,
    and my father was a noble.
[17:18] PRAM
    I was born out of wedlock,
[17:21] PRAM
    and the only thing my father
    left behind is this.
[17:27] DESIR/I
    There's no doubt about it.
[17:30] DESIR/I
    That's the weapon Pram used back then.
[17:34] DESIR
    May I take a look?
[17:37] PRAM
    Please.
[17:40] DESIR
    So light.
[17:42] PRAM
    I learned about that sword when I was six.
[17:48] PRAM
    Hearing that my father left it to me,
     I started on the path of the sword.
[17:58] PRAM
    So that one day, when I got to see my father,
[18:01] PRAM
    I'd be a respectable son,
    fit to wield this sword.
[18:06] PRAM
    But...
[18:09] (Flashback) PRAM'S MOM
    Pram.
[18:11] (Flashback) PRAM'S MOM
    Do not ever try to visit your father.
[18:15] (Flashback) PRAM'S MOM
    He lives in a different world than us.
[18:21] (Flashback) PRAM
    Yes, Mother.
[18:26] (Flashback) PRAM'S MOM
    Please don't look like that.
[18:29] (Flashback) PRAM'S MOM
    I love you, Pram.
[18:36] (Flashback) PRAM
    I love you, too, Mother...
[18:43] PRAM
    My mother never told me the name
    of my father until the end.
[18:49] DESIR/I
    For nobility, a child with a commoner
    is nothing but a disgrace.
[18:55] DESIR/I
    If Pram had visited his father,
    he wouldn't have lived to be here.
[19:01] DESIR/I
    That's why she didn't tell him.
[19:06] PRAM
    I wanted to know who my father is.
[19:10] PRAM
    I enrolled in Hebrion Academy
    to find my father.
[19:16] PRAM
    Nobles from many different
    countries come here,
[19:19] PRAM
    so I thought maybe I could
    get information about him.
[19:22] PRAM
    But...
[19:24] PRAM
    I got this appraised in town.
[19:27] PRAM
    I thought it might give me some clue.
[19:31] PRAM
    And...
[19:34] PRAM
    I was told it had no value as a sword!
[19:40] PRAM
    And it was not something
    worthy of a noble man!
[19:44] PRAM
    Isn't it awful?!
[19:46] PRAM
    I thought he loved my mother!
[19:49] PRAM
    I thought that's why he left this sword to me!
[19:53] PRAM
    But...!
[19:56] PRAM
    This piece of trash!
[20:03] DESIR
    Pram...
[20:07] PRAM
    I will never use that sword again.
[20:10] PRAM
    I don't want to.
[20:27] DESIR
    A sword, huh?
[20:36] ROMANTICA
    How do you like that?!
[20:37] ROMANTICA
    I completely mastered it in just three days!
[20:41] DESIR
    Good job!
[20:43] DESIR
    But it's out of the circle, so it doesn't count.
[20:45] ROMANTICA
    Huh?
[20:53] ROMANTICA
    What?
[20:59] ROMANTICA
    Wh-Wh-Wh-What do you want?!
[21:08] ROMANTICA
    Wh-Wh-What the heck is it?!
[21:12] DESIR
    Pram, could I take a look
    at your sword again?
[21:17] PRAM
    I don't care about that sword anymore.
[21:20] DESIR
    Sorry,
[21:22] DESIR
    but there's something I'd like to confirm.
[21:25] PRAM
    I'm sorry, but I can't show it to you.
[21:28] DESIR
    Just for a little bit. Please.
[21:32] PRAM
    I can't.
[21:33] DESIR
    What?
[21:35] PRAM
    Because I already sold it.
