[00:26] ---
It's no use...
[00:28] ---
Blaze!
[00:45] ---
Julie...
[00:53] ---
Head off Julie's fang!
[01:15] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[01:21] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:26] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:31] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:36] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[01:41] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[01:47] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[01:56] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[02:01] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[02:06] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[02:12] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[02:16] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:22] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:33] ---
"#1 Blaze"
[03:04] ---
So that's what they mean
by "pretty young thing"!
[03:07] ---
You're new here, too?
Why don't we walk together?
[03:13] ---
So this is Koryo Academy High School...
[03:16] ---
An all-expenses-paid academy
with free room and board,
[03:20] ---
established by the Dorn Agency--
[03:23] ---
it's a dream come true!
[03:25] ---
I'm the only one here from my
middle school, so I was a little nervous.
[03:31] ---
Yeah, same here.
[03:33] ---
We'll be studying...
martial techniques here, right?
[03:39] ---
Uh-huh.
[03:43] ---
I haven't even introduced myself!
[03:46] ---
I'm Imari Nagakura.
This is going to be a fun three years!
[03:50] ---
I'm Tor Kokonoe. Nice to meet you, Nagakura.
[03:54] ---
Call me Imari, Tor.
[03:57] ---
The opening ceremony will
begin soon in the study hall.
[04:01] ---
Shall we?
[04:01] ---
New students,
[04:02] ---
Yeah, let's go.
[04:02] ---
please assemble in the study hall.
[04:07] ---
"Koryo Academy Opening Ceremony"
[04:26] ---
Welcome, new students, to Koryo Academy.
[04:30] ---
I am the Academy president, Sakuya Tsukumo.
[04:34] ---
We shall now perform our
traditional Screening Rite.
[04:40] ---
First, please take note of
the person sitting beside you;
[04:42] ---
he or she will be your partner.
[04:45] ---
I guess you're my partner, Imari.
[04:47] ---
I wonder what we're going to do.
[04:49] ---
And now...
[04:51] ---
...you are to battle your partner.
[04:57] ---
Only the winners will be permitted entrance.
[04:59] ---
The losers will have their Lukifers
removed and will leave the premises.
[05:03] ---
What the...? This is news to me!
[05:05] ---
You mean that letter of acceptance
wasn't enough to get in?
[05:07] ---
A battle? But... that's impossible!
[05:09] ---
If your battle is not over within ten minutes,
[05:12] ---
both students will be given failing marks.
[05:14] ---
W-Wait--please!
[05:16] ---
Yes?
[05:17] ---
Isn't it a little much to say
we can't get in if we lose?
[05:21] ---
Consider this Koryo Academy's
entrance examination.
[05:25] ---
It is a struggle for survival
based on one simple rule:
[05:31] ---
Defeat others to stay alive.
[05:33] ---
What's wrong with a normal exam?
[05:35] ---
You will all be plunging headfirst
into battle before long.
[05:41] ---
You must have known that
when you first expressed interest
[05:44] ---
in attending Koryo Academy.
[05:46] ---
Can we switch partners?
[05:51] ---
Understand this: The person beside
you now is your first enemy.
[05:56] ---
It's okay, Tor.
[05:59] ---
I appreciate the sentiment...
[06:01] ---
...but don't treat me like a fool.
[06:04] ---
Now fight, heaven-chosen children--you Elcidae!
[06:08] ---
You have already been given
the power you require.
[06:11] ---
Use your soul-power, your Blaze,
to snatch up a future for yourself!
[06:16] ---
Blaze.
[06:32] ---
Why, you...!
[07:23] ---
There's something I have to do.
It's why I'm here.
[07:28] ---
Imari...
[07:30] ---
So... I can't let you go any further!
[07:33] ---
Blaze!
[07:45] ---
Tor, get your Blaze out.
[07:50] ---
Then I'll just end it here!
[08:02] ---
So this is the power of the Lukifer...
[08:07] ---
This next one won't miss.
[08:24] ---
C'mon, that's enough.
[08:27] ---
So you're saying you admit defeat?
[08:30] ---
Give me a break!
You didn't even really fight me!
[08:43] ---
A shield? Is that your Blaze, Tor?
[08:47] ---
Yeah...
[08:48] ---
B-But a Blaze--soul-power always
comes in the form of a weapon!
[08:55] ---
I guess I'm an Irregular.
[08:59] ---
Thanks for protecting me, Tor.
[09:02] ---
Still...
[09:04] ---
...there are some things I just can't let go by.
[09:08] ---
You have those, too, don't you?
[09:11] ---
If not... then get out of my way!
[09:17] ---
She only died
because she was weak.
[09:23] ---
Sorry, Imari. I can't let this go by, either.
[09:27] ---
This is mine!
[09:38] ---
It's over, Imari.
[09:54] ---
Time's up. Only the victors at
this time will be permitted entry.
[09:59] ---
You okay?
[10:00] ---
Allow me to leave you with these final words:
[10:04] ---
May you someday reach Absolute Duo.
[10:13] ---
All that fancy fighting
and no one even got hurt.
[10:18] ---
Blazes are weapons produced by your soul,
[10:21] ---
so I guess souls are the
only things they can hurt.
[10:25] ---
You were totally holding back at the end there!
[10:27] ---
Th-That wasn't my Blaze--
I would have hurt you for real.
[10:32] ---
You're sweet, Tor...
[10:35] ---
...but you can't do that anymore.
[10:39] ---
No matter what your power is,
no matter how strong your opponent,
[10:44] ---
lose once and it's over.
[10:46] ---
That's the kind of world
that's out there waiting for us.
[10:50] ---
And once you lose, there are no do-overs.
[10:55] ---
Congrats on making it in, Tor.
[11:02] ---
Okay, well... bye now.
[11:12] ---
Haven't seen you in two years, Tor.
[11:14] ---
Never thought we'd meet
again here, of all places.
[11:18] ---
Tora? It is you!
[11:21] ---
So you made it through the Screening Rite, eh?
[11:24] ---
Guess that makes us both
Sakuya Tsukumo's guinea pigs.
[11:29] ---
Hey, now--aren't you going too far?
[11:32] ---
But I'm not wrong.
[11:34] ---
We got our Blaze powers from
those Lukifer things she gave us.
[11:41] ---
You could say Koryo Academy
is one big research facility
[11:45] ---
made just for Sakuya Tsukumo.
[11:48] ---
Hey, there's the first-year classroom.
Let's get moving, Tora.
[11:54] ---
What's your hurry?
[12:01] ---
Let's make this a good year.
[12:02] ---
Uh-huh.
[12:18] ---
It's her...
[12:19] ---
You know her?
[12:20] ---
I don't exactly know her, but...
[12:25] ---
Tor?
[12:34] ---
"stare"
[12:37] ---
Do I know her?
[12:38] ---
You're asking me?!
[12:44] ---
"stare"
[12:47] ---
She's obviously looking at you.
[12:49] ---
She's obviously looking at me.
[12:51] ---
Why don't you talk to her?
[12:53] ---
I should probably talk to her.
[12:55] ---
Hey, uh...
[13:00] ---
"stare"
[13:03] ---
So, er...
[13:05] ---
"stare"
[13:07] ---
Wow. She's good.
[13:10] ---
Hello, hello!
[13:15] ---
Nice to meet you! I'm your
homeroom teacher, Rito Tsukimi!
[13:18] ---
Oh, but call me Professor Bunbun!
[13:22] ---
"stare"
[13:24] ---
Dear me! What could be the problem?
[13:26] ---
Oh! Are you perhaps dazzled
by how gosh-darn cute I am?
[13:29] ---
Goodness me!
[13:30] ---
We just don't know how to react!
[13:36] ---
All this and she's still looking at me?!
[13:37] ---
"stare"
[13:39] ---
Okay, your turn! Introduce yourselves!
[13:43] ---
Tomoe Tachibana.
[13:46] ---
U-Um... Miyabi Hotaka.
[13:50] ---
Aoi Torasaki.
[13:54] ---
Okay, now, who's next?
[13:58] ---
Tor Kokonoe.
[14:00] ---
Kokonoe? Ooh, so you're that Irregular!
[14:04] ---
You're the talk of the staff room!
[14:06] ---
Uh... yes.
[14:08] ---
Okay, and next up is the
silver-haired girl beside you!
[14:10] ---
Stand up, now!
[14:12] ---
Ja.
[14:13] ---
I'm Julie Sigtuna. Pleased to meet you all.
[14:18] ---
Julie, huh?
[14:23] ---
What's with that girl, anyway?
[14:29] ---
Okay! So! Have you gotten
the hang of this place yet?
[14:32] ---
"Koryo Academy: Dorm Life Handbook"
[14:33] ---
Oh, right! Your student ID can
also be used as a credit card.
[14:37] ---
You have a whopping 100,000 yen
every month to use however you like!
[14:38] ---
"100,000 Yen"
[14:41] ---
Boys, feel free to give some of that
dough to Professor Bunbun! Tee-hee!
[14:48] ---
"Duo"
[14:48] ---
We have a special Duo system here.
[14:51] ---
It boils down to students
pairing up and living with partners.
[14:58] ---
Professor?
[14:59] ---
Yes?
[15:01] ---
Why do we have that system?
[15:03] ---
You know that once you graduate,
[15:05] ---
you'll be placed in the Dorn
Agency's peacekeeping corps.
[15:09] ---
Well, there you'll be working in teams--
mostly teams of two!
[15:13] ---
So we're getting used to how
the corps works while we're here?
[15:18] ---
Bingo-bango-bongo!
Hit the nail right on the head!
[15:20] ---
Thank you very much.
[15:23] ---
And so, Duos always work together.
[15:26] ---
Together during classes and in the dorms--
[15:28] ---
which is why we house you in double rooms!
[15:31] ---
Okay, so here goes...
[15:34] ---
Duos will be discussed and decided
officially by the weekend,
[15:37] ---
so until then, you'll all be in temporary Duos!
[15:40] ---
"stare"
[15:41] ---
Temporary Duos? What do you say, Tora?
[15:45] ---
I guess it was inevitable.
[15:47] ---
Now, these Duos may be temporary,
but they come preassigned.
[15:50] ---
And by that I mean, just like
in the opening ceremony,
[15:53] ---
the person next to you will be your partner!
[15:55] ---
The person...
[15:57] ---
...next to me...
[15:59] ---
My partner?
[16:01] ---
Wait! That's not good!
[16:03] ---
Already been decided!
[16:04] ---
No, no, no! It can't be! It can't!
[16:06] ---
Nice, Kokonoe! Your roommate
is the beautiful silver-haired Julie!
[16:11] ---
Oh, and no extra roommates, either.
And by that, I mean...
[16:22] ---
This is not good!
[16:23] ---
I-I-Is she serious?!
[16:24] ---
We're roommates? This is my roommate?!
[16:25] ---
OMG! My heart is racing!
[16:27] ---
Wait--please! Let's be sensible about this!
[16:32] ---
This school holds an entry exam
during the opening ceremony.
[16:35] ---
It makes its students fight each other.
[16:37] ---
Is that sensible?
[16:44] ---
Be a man and suck it up!
[16:47] ---
That's the problem--I am a man!
[16:48] ---
Oh, shut up! It's time for lights-out!
[16:51] ---
But...
[17:03] ---
What should I say when I walk in?
[17:06] ---
Good evening.
[17:07] ---
Excuse me.
[17:08] ---
Guten Abend!
[17:11] ---
No--this is my room, too.
I should just walk right in.
[17:16] ---
Here goes.
[17:18] ---
Um... it's Kokonoe...
[17:25] ---
I guess she's not too thrilled
about living with a guy, either.
[17:29] ---
She must be in someone else's...
[17:42] ---
Sorry--I went ahead and showered first.
[17:48] ---
Wh-Wh-What are you wearing?!
[17:51] ---
Pajamas?
[17:54] ---
Ohhh, no, no, no. That shirt is not pajamas!
[17:57] ---
I sleep in it, so it's pajamas.
[18:00] ---
No?
[18:07] ---
L-Let me reintroduce myself. I'm--
[18:11] ---
Tor.
[18:12] ---
Huh? Oh, you remembered.
[18:15] ---
"Tor" sounds like a word
from my homeland, Gimle,
[18:19] ---
so it's easy to remember.
[18:21] ---
Gimle, huh? Whereabouts is that?
[18:24] ---
Scandinavia.
[18:26] ---
And Thor is a thunder god,
the mightiest in Norse mythology.
[18:31] ---
It's a good name.
[18:33] ---
The mightiest god, eh?
[18:36] ---
Tor? Tor?
[18:39] ---
What is it?
[18:40] ---
N-Nothing!
[18:41] ---
Uh, actually, you were staring
at me all through class today.
[18:45] ---
Like you are now.
[18:48] ---
Don't act like you weren't.
[18:51] ---
I'm interested in you.
[18:55] ---
Tor, I'm really...
[18:59] ---
...really interested in you.
[19:01] ---
Wh-What, uh... like how?
[19:04] ---
Huh? Whoa! Hey--
[19:07] ---
W-Wait a second! What are you--
[19:16] ---
That move of yours, in the Screening Rite.
[19:19] ---
I've been curious about it ever since.
[19:22] ---
Oh... that?
[19:24] ---
Ja. Teach it to me.
[19:28] ---
Sorry. That move puts way
too much strain on the body.
[19:32] ---
If a girl used it, it'd destroy her.
[19:36] ---
So... yeah. I'm sorry.
[19:38] ---
You can't? That's...
[19:42] ---
...too bad.
[19:46] ---
Are you okay?
[19:48] ---
Apologies. It must be the time
difference. I'm just so sleepy...
[19:54] ---
Oh, right. Sorry I waylaid you like that.
[19:58] ---
Go on ahead and get some sleep.
[20:00] ---
Ja, I will... if you'll... excuse me...
[20:10] ---
Hey! You can't sleep here!
Sleep in bed, or you'll catch a cold!
[20:18] ---
Aw, man!
[20:35] ---
And it's only the first day...
[20:38] ---
I better turn in, too.
[20:58] ---
The wind stops, having touched your back
[21:06] ---
As you walked all alone
[21:14] ---
The sound of bells echoes beside you
[21:22] ---
Loneliness melts away in time
[21:30] ---
Wishes to the skies, oaths to eternity: my soul
[21:38] ---
Though caught in the driving rain, we are two:
Just believe, believe, believe
[21:47] ---
Even the faintest voice will reach you--
that alone is enough
[21:55] ---
For even trembling hands
to hold a shining hope
[22:03] ---
Courage spread wide,
we breathe together and grab the sky
[22:10] ---
In my world, you're here
[22:26] ---
As if I could sleep!
[22:30] ---
What's that?
[22:35] ---
Sorry--did I wake you?
[22:37] ---
Nej. So what is that?
[22:40] ---
Just apple tea. The instant kind.
[22:44] ---
It smells nice.
[22:46] ---
Er... want some?
[22:50] ---
Ja.
[22:54] ---
Here you go.
[22:56] ---
Thank you.
[23:03] ---
Delicious.
[23:04] ---
Say, Miss Sigtuna...
[23:07] ---
Nej, "Julie" is fine.
[23:10] ---
Oh, okay...
[23:12] ---
Anyway, let's make this work till
the real Duos are announced, Julie.
[23:17] ---
Ja, let's make this work, Tor.
[23:26] ---
What's that "ja" of yours mean anyway, Julie?
[23:29] ---
"Yes"
[23:29] ---
It means "yes."
[23:30] ---
Always "yes."
[23:31] ---
Ja!
[23:31] ---
"Ja!"
[23:32] ---
Ja,
[23:33] ---
Ja...
[23:33] ---
"Ja..."
[23:34] ---
Ja,
[23:35] ---
Ja?
[23:35] ---
"Ja?"
[23:36] ---
Next time: "Duo."
[23:36] ---
"Next time: Duo"
[23:37] ---
Ja. That's deep.
