[00:00] ---
    I don't usually wake up this early.
[00:02] ---
    It's kind of a nice feeling, though, isn't it?
[00:04] ---
    It is!
[00:06] ---
    A rifle Blaze? Are you sure
    there isn't some kind of mistake?
[00:10] ---
    I'm sure. That was definitely a Blaze.
[00:23] ---
    But a Blaze can't manifest as
    any weapon with a complex structure.
[00:30] ---
    That might be why
    she's called an Exception.
[00:35] ---
    An Exception?
[00:38] ---
    In any case,
[00:41] ---
    it looks like Lilith is out again today.
[00:51] ---
    The Exception and the Irregular...
[00:56] ---
    This is fate... Tor Kokonoe.
[01:15] ---
    We lived in a closed-up past
[01:20] ---
    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
[01:55] ---
    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
[02:05] ---
    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)
[02:21] ---
    Looking down on our limits
    from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:33] ---
    "#5 Level Up"
[02:50] ---
    Wow! So that's the power of Level 2, huh?
[02:53] ---
    She really is on a whole other level!
[02:56] ---
    Guess we've got to try harder!
[02:58] ---
    Yeah!
[03:01] ---
    Level 2... so that's what
    the Rite of Sublimation does.
[03:11] ---
    Honestly, I never
    really felt like I'd leveled up.
[03:27] ---
    I guess it does give you
    more speed and power than before.
[03:43] ---
    Amazing! You've got a major lead!
[03:49] ---
    I-I guess I do. Me--in the lead!
[03:53] ---
    That's fantastic, Hotaka. Here.
[03:56] ---
    Oh... uh-huh.
[04:04] ---
    Um... it's probably because
    you've been cheering me on.
[04:09] ---
    So thank you.
[04:11] ---
    I didn't do anything. You're the
    one who's been working so hard.
[04:16] ---
    Not really...
[04:18] ---
    Hey, uh, Kokonoe?
[04:21] ---
    Kokonoe's right, Miyabi.
[04:24] ---
    Tomoe!
[04:25] ---
    You can't Sublimate if your
    physical and spiritual strength
[04:28] ---
    don't match your new level.
[04:30] ---
    You deserve to be proud!
[04:33] ---
    That's right! Me, I leveled up
    ages ago, and now I'm in the top tier!
[04:38] ---
    Right, Kokonoe?
[04:40] ---
    Why are you asking me?!
[04:44] ---
    K-Kokonoe... that look you're giving us...
[04:49] ---
    You dog!
[04:50] ---
    You've got the wrong idea!
[05:07] ---
    Ah! I expected nothing less.
[05:12] ---
    She's not coming up.
[05:15] ---
    Is Julie--
[05:24] ---
    Julie!
[05:30] ---
    I'm sorry. We don't swim back in Gimle.
[05:35] ---
    I thought I could just do
    what I'd seen others do, but...
[05:39] ---
    I never saw that coming.
    Julie is actually bad at something?
[05:44] ---
    There's a first time for everything.
[05:47] ---
    But you should take it
    easy today. Just rest, okay?
[05:51] ---
    Ja...
[05:58] ---
    You'll catch a cold if you
    stay sopping wet like that.
[06:02] ---
    Tor...
[06:06] ---
    What say we take our new levels out for a spin?
[06:10] ---
    Oh, you'll get what's coming to you.
[06:19] ---
    Now I kind of wish I couldn't swim, either.
[06:30] ---
    Tor, please teach me to swim.
[06:33] ---
    I should. We'll probably
    have summer lessons, and--
[06:38] ---
    Sorry! You go on ahead!
[06:41] ---
    Tor?
[06:51] ---
    Another outstanding brew, Sarah.
[06:53] ---
    Thank you, miss.
[06:55] ---
    What are you doing?
[07:00] ---
    Can't you tell? I'm enjoying my afternoon tea.
[07:04] ---
    That's not what I mean.
    You haven't been in class.
[07:07] ---
    Is everything all right?
[07:09] ---
    I completed my high-school studies ages ago.
[07:13] ---
    This academy is just a way for me to kill time.
[07:18] ---
    So you must have good grades.
[07:21] ---
    Still, you'll never make friends like this.
[07:27] ---
    Aren't you sweet. Wasn't it only yesterday
[07:30] ---
    you jumped out in
    front of a girl to protect her?
[07:33] ---
    It's only right to help your friends.
[07:38] ---
    I suppose I don't hate that about you.
[07:43] ---
    Listen, I need to ask you something.
    About yesterday. Why did you--
[07:46] ---
    Just a moment.
[07:49] ---
    If you'd like an answer
    to that question... I know:
[08:00] ---
    Come with me--right now.
[08:02] ---
    Miss!
[08:06] ---
    Don't make me tell you again.
[08:18] ---
    That Kokonoe has a lot of nerve playing hooky!
[08:25] ---
    I wonder what happened to him.
[08:27] ---
    It's utterly disgraceful.
[08:31] ---
    Tor...
[08:34] ---
    Look! Turner! It's Turner!
[08:36] ---
    When you said "come with me,"
[08:38] ---
    I never thought it'd be to a theme park!
[08:40] ---
    "Theme park"? I beg your pardon!
[08:42] ---
    This is a dark fantasy
    world of love and nightmares:
[08:46] ---
    This is Deathnewland!
[08:53] ---
    Could you turn it down a notch?!
[08:55] ---
    How can I? I've been planning
    a visit ever since I knew
[08:58] ---
    I'd be coming to Japan!
[09:00] ---
    Oh! Rogers! It's really him!
    I've got to take a picture!
[09:07] ---
    Come on!
[09:09] ---
    B-But where?
[09:14] ---
    Whoa! Hang on a second--wait!
[09:16] ---
    And why would we do that?
    Onward to Deathnewland!
[09:56] ---
    Over there!
[09:58] ---
    Turner!
[10:00] ---
    Oh, Turner, you're so adorable!
    I'm so glad I met you, Turner!
[10:06] ---
    3, 2, 1:
[10:10] ---
    How's that?
[10:25] ---
    For an Exceed, you sure look a mess.
[10:28] ---
    My exhaustion is more mental than physical.
[10:32] ---
    Oh! Let's go there next! C'mon!
[11:02] ---
    You're amazing!
[11:04] ---
    I should be. Hunting's been
    my hobby since I was a child.
[11:10] ---
    Hunting as a hobby?
    It's like a whole other world...
[11:14] ---
    Really? It's not rare at all where I'm from.
[11:21] ---
    I've dismantled and assembled
    guns time and time again.
[11:25] ---
    You ought to know everything
    about a weapon that can take life,
[11:28] ---
    a weapon you entrust your own life to.
[11:32] ---
    Guns are the weapon I'm most familiar with.
[11:37] ---
    It's like guns are my soul.
[11:41] ---
    Your soul...
[11:44] ---
    Isn't your Blaze the same way?
[11:47] ---
    My Blaze?
[11:53] ---
    Behind you!
[11:59] ---
    Nicely done!
[12:02] ---
    "Tor" "Lilith"
[12:03] ---
    Congratulations! You two
    have our highest score!
[12:11] ---
    I got a Rogers! This is
    a park exclusive, you know.
[12:17] ---
    You're like a little kid!
[12:19] ---
    That's a low blow.
[12:34] ---
    Didn't you say you had something to ask me?
[12:39] ---
    Why did you use your Blaze in
    front of all those people yesterday?
[12:43] ---
    Oh, that? It's only natural
    to show your Blaze to your Duo.
[12:54] ---
    I was so excited to learn you
    were the wielder of an Unrivaled Blaze.
[12:59] ---
    To find out I wasn't the
    only one in the whole world.
[13:03] ---
    Then I felt it:
[13:06] ---
    You, the Irregular, are the only Duo for me.
[13:10] ---
    The only one? But...
[13:19] ---
    My gun fires on the foe;
    your shield blocks their blades.
[13:24] ---
    Just like a guardian knight.
[13:28] ---
    And so...
[13:30] ---
    I'll break my own rules to say this:
[13:34] ---
    Be my Duo, Tor Kokonoe.
[14:29] ---
    Well, it is past curfew.
[14:33] ---
    Tor... Tor!
[14:41] ---
    Welcome back, Tor.
[14:44] ---
    Thanks, Julie. I needed that.
[14:53] ---
    The resident advisor's on patrol.
[15:15] ---
    I, uh... I'm sorry I'm late.
[15:19] ---
    Nej. It's no problem at all,
[15:21] ---
    as long as you're all right.
[15:27] ---
    Actually... I was out with Lilith.
[15:33] ---
    Were you?
[15:37] ---
    And... she asked me if I'd be her Duo.
[15:44] ---
    But...
[15:55] ---
    Sorry. I already have a Duo
    who means a lot to me. I can't be yours.
[16:02] ---
    B-But that's...
[16:04] ---
    I swore--to her and to myself--
[16:08] ---
    that I'd stand by her.
[16:20] ---
    My feelings aren't about to change.
[16:29] ---
    I'll never forgive you for
    rejecting my invitation twice.
[16:44] ---
    And now she hates my guts.
[16:48] ---
    She did actually ask me to be her Duo before,
[16:52] ---
    and I just didn't want you to worry...
[16:54] ---
    I'm sorry I kept something
    so important from you.
[16:58] ---
    Nej. You're your own person, Tor.
    But more than that...
[17:07] ---
    Thank you. For choosing me.
[17:11] ---
    N-No... I mean, thank you.
[17:20] ---
    Let's head back. It's getting chilly.
[17:24] ---
    Then...
[17:26] ---
    Julie?
[17:28] ---
    I'll do this to warm up.
[17:36] ---
    Yeah... nice and toasty.
[17:39] ---
    Ja.
[17:48] ---
    I wonder if Kokonoe is back yet.
[17:52] ---
    Ready for your bath, Miyabi?
[17:55] ---
    Yeah.
[17:57] ---
    He's gotta be okay... right?
[18:03] ---
    H-Hey, now! Listen, uh...
[18:08] ---
    Er... could you do that in the bathroom?
[18:16] ---
    Yeah, of course! What am I doing?
[18:31] ---
    This is so unfair.
[18:34] ---
    Now that the naughty student
    who skipped class yesterday
[18:37] ---
    has been duly punished,
[18:39] ---
    I have an announcement!
[18:41] ---
    It's time to take on the second-year
    students in an interclass battle!
[18:45] ---
    Yes, none other than...
[18:47] ---
    ...the Mordraco!
[18:48] ---
    "Mordraco"
[18:54] ---
    The Mordraco?
[18:56] ---
    But this time you won't fight other Duos,
    but rather class against class:
[19:02] ---
    all the first-years against
    a select group of second-years!
[19:11] ---
    If you think you've got the upper
    hand because there are more of you,
[19:15] ---
    boy, have you got another thing coming!
[19:17] ---
    Those second-years are all at Level 2 or 3!
[19:21] ---
    In other words, some of
    them are on par with me.
[19:27] ---
    So! Without a firm strategy,
    you'll get the snot kicked out of you!
[19:32] ---
    So do your best! Go get 'em!
[19:35] ---
    She's just so casual about it!
[19:38] ---
    Not that they won't give
    us a run for our money, I'm sure.
[19:44] ---
    If we have to fight, I want
    to take the best they've got.
[19:47] ---
    Ja. We're stronger than we used to be.
[19:52] ---
    I'll beat anyone I fight, no matter their level!
[19:57] ---
    Wh-Why is everyone so excited about this?
[20:01] ---
    I get where they're coming from,
    but this is a group battle.
[20:05] ---
    I wish they'd put more focus on a class victory.
[20:10] ---
    Who are you?
[20:14] ---
    Lilith!
[20:16] ---
    I hate to interrupt, but can we
    get the Mordraco underway right now?
[20:22] ---
    I shall take you on alone
    as the first-year representative.
[20:26] ---
    The Mordraco, alone? Are you pulling my leg?
[20:30] ---
    What's the rush?
[20:33] ---
    Very well... then how's this?
[20:43] ---
    A rifle Blaze!
[20:48] ---
    Now, who wants to be hunted next?
[21:07] ---
    Lightly
[21:08] ---
    Quickly
[21:09] ---
    Gently
[21:10] ---
    Softly
[21:11] ---
    Pale
[21:12] ---
    White
[21:12] ---
    Our future together
[21:14] ---
    Flicker
[21:15] ---
    Bounce
[21:16] ---
    Float
[21:17] ---
    Sink
[21:18] ---
    Leap
[21:19] ---
    Align
[21:20] ---
    The rhythm of our hearts
[21:22] ---
    It started with a little chat
[21:25] ---
    Our views surprisingly the same
[21:29] ---
    It started with a clash, I suppose
[21:32] ---
    Kind of a roundabout way
[21:36] ---
    I want us to be friends
    (When we fight, I understand)
[21:40] ---
    But
    (Things I didn't see at first)
[21:42] ---
    That's too easy
[21:44] ---
    The taste of apple tea
[21:50] ---
    Lonely?
[21:52] ---
    I never thought about it much
[21:57] ---
    But I've noticed
[22:00] ---
    I'm lonely without you
[22:04] ---
    Tomorrow we'll be happy, happy
[22:07] ---
    Tomorrow, too: happy, happy
[22:11] ---
    Someday we'll be happy happy
[22:15] ---
    Every day: happy happy
[22:31] ---
    What's with her?
[22:33] ---
    This is a problem.
[22:38] ---
    I realize you're an Exception...
[22:41] ---
    ...but now my carefully prepared
    Mordraco has been ruined.
[22:45] ---
    Not to worry. Instead, to deepen
    ties with my classmates,
[22:49] ---
    I shall hold a dance party.
[22:52] ---
    I, the host, shall entertain you all.
[22:56] ---
    We shall dress up in Blazes,
    and dance to the clash of weapons.
[23:02] ---
    You mean to take on all the first-years alone?
[23:06] ---
    Aren't you a feisty little princess!
[23:10] ---
    And the title of our dance tune... hmm.
[23:19] ---
    I know: "Survive."
[23:25] ---
    A fellow extraordinary
    Unrivaled with a rifle Blaze...
[23:30] ---
    We can't let down our guard.
[23:31] ---
    Ja, I know. We'll take her down.
[23:34] ---
    Julie?
[23:35] ---
    Next time: "Survive."
[23:35] ---
    "Next time: Survive"
[23:37] ---
    I've got your back, Tor.
