[00:04] ---
    I'm referring to...
[00:07] ---
    ...your skill.
[00:08] ---
    Zechs!
[00:10] ---
    He's right to be concerned.
[00:13] ---
    Indeed, it's important that
    he have faith in my skill.
[00:18] ---
    I will give you a taste, then.
[00:27] ---
    Oh. Very impressive.
[00:29] ---
    I gave off as much bloodlust
    as an enraged Dragon Kin.
[00:35] ---
    But, if you need more than that, then...
[00:39] ---
    That is more than enough.
[00:42] ---
    Our enemy is elsewhere.
[00:46] ---
    Very well. If you'll excuse me...
[00:59] ---
    Akatsuki...
[01:07] ---
    I... will change the world
[01:08] ---
    "Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero"
    I... will change the world

[02:34] ---
    "BABEL'S Ranking Matches Begin"
[02:38] ---
    Yo, Akki.
[02:40] ---
    You seem in good form!
[02:41] ---
    Oh, I didn't know you were here, Kaidou.
[02:44] ---
    Hey, now.
[02:45] ---
    Everyone has to participate
    in the ranking matches, y'know.
[02:47] ---
    Of course I'd be here.
[02:50] ---
    You say that, but I didn't
    sense you at all until just now.
[02:54] ---
    Just your imagination.
[02:55] ---
    Anyway, I'm betting there'll
    be loads of people
[02:58] ---
    just itching to beat you and
    make a name for themselves.
[03:01] ---
    I'd be careful if I were you.
[03:03] ---
    Sounds good to me!
[03:04] ---
    If I destroy every single
    person who comes at me,
[03:07] ---
    I'll be part of Class A by
    the time the dust settles.
[03:12] ---
    So, are you one of these people
[03:14] ---
    who wanna beat me and
    make a name for themselves?
[03:18] ---
    Good question.
[03:19] ---
    Personally, I'm not the type to
    fight if the outcome is obvious.
[03:23] ---
    That's not much of an answer, you know.
[03:25] ---
    Unlike you, I prefer not to
    stand out from the crowd.
[03:30] ---
    I'm gonna take it nice and easy.
[03:34] ---
    Oh! Over here!
[03:36] ---
    Oh! Your pal's callin' you, Akki!
[03:41] ---
    Sheesh! What took you so long?!
[03:43] ---
    I told you we should've
    chosen a meeting spot!
[03:47] ---
    Huh? Why are you in a bad mood?
[03:49] ---
    Everyone's been staring at her.
[03:53] ---
    How come?
[03:54] ---
    She jumped straight to Class B just like you.
[03:58] ---
    She always had everyone's attention.
[04:00] ---
    Plus...
[04:02] ---
    I-I'm not dressed like
    this because I want to be!
[04:06] ---
    It's not just her chest. It's her looks.
[04:09] ---
    She's really popular among some of the guys.
[04:12] ---
    Really?
[04:14] ---
    Strange that none of 'em talk to her, then.
[04:17] ---
    Of course they don't. Not when
    she has a scary big brother and all.
[04:25] ---
    So I'm like, what, bug spray?
[04:29] ---
    Only some members of Class A
    and the student council members
[04:33] ---
    have the guts to mess with you.
[04:36] ---
    I can fight the student council?
[04:38] ---
    Yep.
[04:40] ---
    They're helping run the exams
    just like regular faculty members,
[04:43] ---
    but they're students too.
[04:46] ---
    They don't start participating
    until the second day, though.
[04:49] ---
    Sheesh! What are we going to do?
[04:51] ---
    Those guys are really strong
    and they have their eyes on you.
[04:53] ---
    I don't want us to get caught
    in the collateral damage!
[04:55] ---
    Oh, there's nothin' to worry about.
    I won't let anyone get in the way.
[05:01] ---
    Oh, speak of the devil. Here they come.
[05:05] ---
    Yo, V.P.! We had a great time the other day!
[05:09] ---
    How dare you make such a remark?!
[05:11] ---
    Is something the matter, Haruka?
[05:14] ---
    N-No.
[05:15] ---
    Hello, Ousawa. How are you feeling?
[05:18] ---
    Just perfect, Mr. President, Sir.
[05:21] ---
    Ranking matches or whatever--
    I'm not gonna lose.
[05:24] ---
    I'm glad to hear it.
[05:26] ---
    I'm sure you will earn high marks.
[05:29] ---
    It would seem you are blessed
    with good teammates as well.
[05:33] ---
    Oh, is that you, Kaidou?
[05:38] ---
    Huh? The prez knows you?
[05:41] ---
    Seems so.
[05:43] ---
    What do you say, Akki?
    Think better of me now?
[05:46] ---
    Everyone knows who you are.
[05:48] ---
    You're the problem child in
    Class A who constantly skips class.
[05:54] ---
    I finally get a chance to take you on.
[05:56] ---
    Once the exam starts, all
    fighting is acceptable.
[06:00] ---
    Nothing will get in the way.
[06:03] ---
    I'm sorry for getting your hopes up,
[06:06] ---
    but unfortunately, I'm not scheduled to
    participate in these ranking matches.
[06:10] ---
    What?
[06:11] ---
    As a member of COCOON, I must
    attend the upcoming summit meeting.
[06:15] ---
    The other three student council
    members will be participating, however.
[06:20] ---
    Summit? Oh, yeah, it's still going on, huh?
[06:23] ---
    All the COCOON members
    have gathered for this one.
[06:27] ---
    That's how important of a summit it is.
[06:29] ---
    Still, it's not like you have to stick
    with 'em the entire time, right?
[06:33] ---
    A summit isn't just some friendly
    get-together or class reunion.
[06:39] ---
    He can't just slip out when it suits him.
[06:42] ---
    Plus, Japan is the host country this time.
[06:45] ---
    There are lots of preparations to make.
[06:47] ---
    --So what?
    - -You...!
[06:49] ---
    I only need to be present
    until tomorrow night.
[06:53] ---
    If things end as scheduled,
[06:55] ---
    then I should be in time for
    the end of the ranking matches.
[07:00] ---
    Is that to your liking?
[07:01] ---
    You know it. Where will we meet?
[07:04] ---
    Only so many members will make
    it to the end of the final day.
[07:08] ---
    The desire to fight each other
    will naturally bring us together.
[07:13] ---
    You needn't worry about fighting
    the president, Akatsuki Ousawa.
[07:18] ---
    The three of us will be able to
    participate starting tomorrow morning.
[07:23] ---
    When that happens,
    I'm coming straight for you.
[07:26] ---
    Looking forward to it!
[07:28] ---
    Hmph! Act tough while you still can!
[07:32] ---
    Well, here's hoping we meet again tomorrow.
[07:39] ---
    Miu Ousawa.
[07:41] ---
    --C-Could I have a word?
    --Huh? With me?
[07:45] ---
    Well, I better get going too.
[07:48] ---
    Later, Akki!
[07:50] ---
    Look the other way if we run into
    each other during the exam, okay?
[07:55] ---
    Sorry, can't make any promises.
[07:57] ---
    Yikes.
[08:00] ---
    What did the V.P. want?
[08:02] ---
    Oh, no, it was nothing...
[08:08] ---
    I will now explain the end-of-year
    ranking match examination.
[08:13] ---
    The exam will last 48 hours.
[08:15] ---
    You will be evaluated on how
    long you remain able to fight.
[08:20] ---
    You can sleep if you need to,
[08:22] ---
    but know that the other participants
    will still be allowed to attack you.
[08:29] ---
    If a lower-ranked participant
    defeats a higher-ranked participant,
[08:33] ---
    that person's rank will be increased.
[08:35] ---
    Whether you're conscious or not
    will determine if you're able to fight.
[08:39] ---
    The moment you're unable
    to fight, you're disqualified,
[08:43] ---
    and the exam is over for you.
[08:45] ---
    Any wrongful acts toward others
    will result in disqualification.
[08:48] ---
    Headquarters is monitoring
    everything in the match area,
[08:52] ---
    making such acts impossible.
[08:54] ---
    I'll now explain the power
    delimiting of A.D.s during the exam.
[08:59] ---
    Power delimiting?
[09:01] ---
    Oh, right. This is the first
    time for you and Akatsuki.
[09:04] ---
    It makes sense that you've never heard of it.
[09:07] ---
    It's called "delimiting," but it doesn't
    mean our weapons go up in power.
[09:12] ---
    A.D.s actually have the ability to
    synchronize with these gym uniforms.
[09:16] ---
    The Orichalcum in an A.D. is designed
    to respond to the user's mental state.
[09:22] ---
    It reacts with the fabric in these uniforms
    to change them into combat suits.
[09:36] ---
    So the combat suits adapt to individual
    personalities, just like the weapons?
[09:40] ---
    Yep!
[09:42] ---
    Your subconscious also
    has some effect on it, too...
[09:46] ---
    Huh? What's wrong?
[09:51] ---
    Wh-What is this?!
[09:54] ---
    Hey, you guys! Quit gawkin'!
[09:58] ---
    I'll have you know that my sister's
    at that slightly sexually aware age
[10:01] ---
    where she likes to watch naughty
    late-night anime and try on sexy swimsuits!
[10:06] ---
    --Huh?!
    - -Right?
[10:08] ---
    No...!
[10:16] ---
    The ranking matches will now begin!
[10:22] ---
    Unfortunately for you...
[10:23] ---
    ...you're all too obvious!
[10:27] ---
    Umm... sorry!
[10:31] ---
    No fun for me...
[10:33] ---
    That's one team down.
[10:35] ---
    How many teams are there again?
[10:38] ---
    39 teams in all, from Class A to Class E.
[10:41] ---
    Then that leaves at least
    38 other teams to go!
[10:45] ---
    Well, in that case...
[10:54] ---
    They were hiding in the ground?!
[10:56] ---
    And another team bites the dust.
[10:59] ---
    Also, just as an FYI, I
    know you guys are there.
[11:03] ---
    Your cheap tricks won't work on us.
[11:06] ---
    If you're gonna bide your
    time all sneaky-like,
[11:08] ---
    then we'll just kick your butts first!
[11:12] ---
    No way! There's so many...!
[11:14] ---
    Wh-What do we do?!
[11:16] ---
    That many will definitely be tough...
[11:19] ---
    Indeed.
[11:20] ---
    Nothin' to be afraid of.
[11:23] ---
    These losers are helpless on their own.
    We can handle 'em just fine.
[11:28] ---
    Hear that? That idiot thinks
    they can beat us all!
[11:33] ---
    That'll be the day--
[11:38] ---
    W-Wow!
[11:40] ---
    See? It's doable, right?
[11:44] ---
    Now let's get this party started!
[11:47] ---
    G-Get 'em!
[11:52] ---
    Fighting at Delta Point has ended!
[11:54] ---
    One team has taken out the other
    14 teams and 51 people there!
[11:58] ---
    Impossible! An hour hasn't even passed!
[12:02] ---
    Which team is it?!
[12:04] ---
    Class B, Team 08!
[12:06] ---
    It consists of Class Representative
    Kuzuha Doumoto and three others.
[12:09] ---
    Doumoto, Izumi, Miu Ousawa,
    and Akatsuki Ousawa, huh?
[12:15] ---
    He's definitely on a level all his own.
[12:18] ---
    His combat abilities alone
    put him above Class A.
[12:21] ---
    I bet he could even take
    on the student council.
[12:25] ---
    I can't ignore a comment like that.
[12:28] ---
    I admit that he possesses tremendous skill.
[12:32] ---
    But I think you overrate him by
    suggesting he's on par with us.
[12:37] ---
    Really?
[12:39] ---
    I think it'd actually be a
    pretty good fight, myself.
[12:43] ---
    Uesaki. Quit acting so weak and timid!
[12:47] ---
    He's unfathomable.
[12:49] ---
    He has a loud personality that
    stands out because of how he acts,
[12:53] ---
    but he also has the skill to back it up.
[12:55] ---
    Minami...!
[12:57] ---
    Yeah, that's pretty much it.
[12:59] ---
    You know all about him by now too.
[13:01] ---
    I don't give a care about him!
[13:04] ---
    --You're all worked up.
    --I am not!
[13:07] ---
    In any case, I'm going to settle things
    with Akatsuki Ousawa once and for all!
[13:11] ---
    Minami. Uesaki.
[13:12] ---
    Let's finish up our work and join
    the ranking matches by tonight!
[13:17] ---
    Then we'll find out for
    sure just who's stronger!
[13:20] ---
    We're not ordinary student representatives.
[13:23] ---
    We're the student council--
    the upholders of rule and order in BABEL!
[13:26] ---
    We can't afford to concede to him so easily!
[13:37] ---
    Whew, I'm stuffed!
[13:40] ---
    Are you sure about this?
    Having a fire out in the open like this...
[13:44] ---
    Anyone can spot us!
[13:46] ---
    Don't worry. We went all-out during the day.
[13:50] ---
    I doubt anyone else is
    willing to mess with us now.
[13:54] ---
    Yeah, that's true.
[13:56] ---
    We did go all-out.
[13:58] ---
    Now, then. After food comes a bath!
[14:01] ---
    Huh?!
[14:02] ---
    The class rep can use earth
    magic to make a bathtub,
[14:05] ---
    Izumi can fill it with water, and then
    we can toss some hot rocks in.
[14:09] ---
    It'll be a great open-air bath!
[14:11] ---
    A bath... with you...?!
[14:15] ---
    Nothing beats a bath
    after working up a sweat!
[14:18] ---
    I agree, but...
[14:20] ---
    Man, I worked up another
    sweat just making this.
[14:23] ---
    I bet. So jump right in!
[14:27] ---
    B-But...!
[14:28] ---
    Oh, do you think I'll peek or something?
[14:32] ---
    Don't worry. I won't do anything like that.
[14:35] ---
    You promise?
[14:39] ---
    Is this really a good idea?
[14:41] ---
    Well, it's true that
    Akatsuki doesn't lie, so...
[14:54] ---
    What are you coming in for?!
[14:56] ---
    What's wrong? I haven't peeked!
[14:59] ---
    Wh-What are you--?!
[15:00] ---
    Isn't it obvious? A massage.
[15:02] ---
    You're all tired from
    today's fighting, right?
[15:05] ---
    No, we don't need that!
[15:07] ---
    Oh, come on! Don't be like that!
[15:13] ---
    Th-That's too dangerous!
[15:15] ---
    E-Even if our chance of getting
    attacked is low, it's not zero...!
[15:20] ---
    I guess. But it's no big deal.
[15:23] ---
    We can just fight in the
    nude if we get attacked.
[15:26] ---
    Get real!
[15:28] ---
    --What was that?!
    --My wind barrier being broken?!
[15:32] ---
    You certainly seem to be in fine shape.
[15:38] ---
    The student council?!
[15:39] ---
    Oh?
[15:41] ---
    You said you couldn't make
    it for the first day,
[15:43] ---
    so I wasn't expecting you to show
    up until the stroke after midnight.
[15:46] ---
    We were gonna come late
    tomorrow morning, but Haruka insisted...
[15:50] ---
    She said she couldn't wait.
[15:52] ---
    I-I didn't mean it in any weird way!
[15:56] ---
    Akatsuki Ousawa! Could I
    have a moment of your time?
[16:00] ---
    I take it I don't have to explain why...
[16:02] ---
    Of course. I can't turn down
    a pretty girl's invitation.
[16:06] ---
    H-Hold on! You can't fight by yourself!
[16:08] ---
    I don't mind. Either way is fine with me.
[16:12] ---
    No, I'll do it by myself.
[16:14] ---
    We got more fighting to do tomorrow.
[16:16] ---
    No need for you to take
    unnecessary damage now.
[16:20] ---
    Same goes for you, though!
    Your reasoning falls flat!
[16:23] ---
    We're a team, you know!
[16:26] ---
    Who we're dealing with
    doesn't change that fact!
[16:29] ---
    Why are you student council members
    so intent on going after him?!
[16:34] ---
    What's the actual reason?!
[16:35] ---
    Wh-Why? W-Well...
[16:39] ---
    Huh? What's this strange
    feeling in the air...?
[16:42] ---
    I've felt it before...
[16:44] ---
    Actually, back at the beach,
    your brother went and--
[16:46] ---
    Uesaki!
[16:48] ---
    The beach...?
[16:50] ---
    Don't tell me he...?!
[16:54] ---
    You pervert!
[16:55] ---
    Go get your butt kicked, you dummy!
[16:59] ---
    How was your first ranking match?
[17:01] ---
    I dunno. It's kinda like, "Is that it?"
[17:05] ---
    I think it'll be lots more fun once
    the COCOON summit's over, though.
[17:09] ---
    You needn't wait for the president;
[17:12] ---
    we'll make things fun for you right now!
[17:16] ---
    Spatial magic?
[17:18] ---
    I've created a special barrier
    two kilometers around.
[17:21] ---
    Sounds and vibrations can
    neither enter nor leave it now.
[17:26] ---
    We can rampage all we want
    without anyone interfering.
[17:29] ---
    We can fight to our hearts' content, huh?
[17:32] ---
    So, I have a quick question first...
[17:34] ---
    Will the result of this match count
    toward my grade in the ranking matches?
[17:38] ---
    Yep, it will.
[17:40] ---
    But I don't think you need
    to worry about that anymore.
[17:44] ---
    Your team already earned high
    marks during today's fighting.
[17:49] ---
    All four of you are going
    to be promoted to Class A.
[17:52] ---
    Even if you lose to us here.
[17:55] ---
    I see. Now I get to be
    in the same class as him.
[17:59] ---
    I was actually hoping to know what
    happens if I win, but whatever.
[18:04] ---
    For now, I guess I'll set the stage
    for my fight with Kyoya Hikami
[18:07] ---
    by giving you guys a beat-down.
[18:12] ---
    Creating that barrier was a big mistake.
[18:14] ---
    Now that no one can interfere,
    there's no question that I'll win.
[18:18] ---
    Such nonsense!
[18:20] ---
    Minami! Uesaki! Stay out of this!
[18:22] ---
    I'm Haruka Nanase, JPN BABEL
    High School Student Vice President!
[18:27] ---
    Have at you!
[18:29] ---
    An afterimage?!
[18:30] ---
    Bingo.
[18:33] ---
    That second-rate magic won't work!
[18:37] ---
    Got you!
[18:39] ---
    Huh?!
[18:42] ---
    He's good, all right!
[18:43] ---
    But as long as he's in the air,
    I have the upper hand!
[18:46] ---
    I wouldn't rest easy just yet!
[19:00] ---
    This is the end, V.P.!
[19:04] ---
    Minami?!
[19:07] ---
    Why did you interfere?!
    I told you to stay out of this!
[19:10] ---
    I don't recall us agreeing to that, though.
[19:14] ---
    You can't let your personal
    feelings get you worked up.
[19:17] ---
    We're not ordinary student representatives.
[19:20] ---
    Just accept it, Haruka. He's powerful.
[19:23] ---
    You're our vice president.
[19:25] ---
    If by some chance you had lost,
[19:27] ---
    the rule and order we've maintained
    all this time within JPN BABEL
[19:31] ---
    would've come crashing down!
[19:33] ---
    Even if we did win, it was three against one!
[19:36] ---
    Akatsuki Ousawa is a problem child!
[19:38] ---
    Even you kept saying how you
    were gonna punish him someday!
[19:42] ---
    So we punished him together!
[19:45] ---
    --There's no problem with that, right?!
    --Nope, no problem at all.
[19:50] ---
    I assumed it would be
    three-on-one from the start.
[19:53] ---
    Oh, man, you can't be serious...!
[19:55] ---
    I can create an anti-magic
    barrier if I feel so inclined...
[19:59] ---
    I see.
[20:00] ---
    It would seem direct, weapon-based
    attacks are more effective, then.
[20:06] ---
    Indeed, it appears this is no time
    to be fixated on fighting one-on-one.
[20:13] ---
    Infusing your weapons with magic...
[20:14] ---
    Nice. You're finally starting to get serious.
[20:17] ---
    In which case... I won't hold back!
[20:21] ---
    It seems you've accepted your fate.
[20:23] ---
    Here we come!
[20:28] ---
    He's overpowered us...?!
[20:32] ---
    No, is this...?!
[20:37] ---
    That's not possible...!
[20:40] ---
    So long...
[20:41] ---
    ...student council!
[20:48] ---
    Hey, now. I'm in the middle of a fight.
[20:50] ---
    What do you think you're doing...
[20:52] ---
    ...Kaidou?
[20:53] ---
    No, I didn't mean to interrupt...
[20:57] ---
    It looks like the V.P.'s already noticed.
[20:59] ---
    We have an emergency situation on our hands.
[21:01] ---
    Akki. Have you noticed that small
    cut on your cheek that's bleeding?
[21:05] ---
    It's just a scratch. So what?
[21:08] ---
    There's a special field covering all of BABEL
[21:12] ---
    that converts all physical
    damage into mental damage.
[21:15] ---
    Yet you've been hurt.
[21:17] ---
    The field's gone?!
[21:22] ---
    And there's been no announcement
    of this serious situation at all.
[21:26] ---
    Something's up. Something bad.
[21:31] ---
    Miu and the others are in that direction!
[21:35] ---
    Akatsuki Ousawa!
[21:59] ---

    When I confronted Phil Burnett, I could sense
[23:17] ---
    that he won't hesitate to sacrifice
    whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
[23:22] ---
    And not just Garius' daughter and Akatsuki.
[23:24] ---
    He might bring harm to
    anyone who gets in his way.
[23:28] ---
    Of course, I'd like to believe that
    Garius' daughter isn't in the other world,
[23:33] ---
    but if what Lord Baram said is true...
[23:37] ---
    Next episode: "On Such a
    Beautiful Moonlit Night."
[23:40] ---
    I have a bad feeling about this...
