[00:14] (Flashback) Glenn
"'What are you?
[00:15] (Flashback) Glenn
What drives you to such lengths?
[00:18] (Flashback) Glenn
I cannot fathom you.'
[00:22] (Flashback) Glenn
Then, the mage answered,
[00:25] (Flashback) Glenn
'That's simple, Demon Lord.
[00:26] (Flashback) Glenn
There are things I want to protect.
Things I must protect.
[00:30] (Flashback) Glenn
Those thoughts cause infinite
power to rise from my depths.
[00:36] (Flashback) Glenn
They enable me to rise again countless times.
[00:39] (Flashback) Glenn
Now, prepare yourself, Demon Lord.
[00:41] (Flashback) Glenn
I shall defeat you.
[00:43] (Flashback) Glenn
And thus, I shall protect everyone.'
[00:48] (Flashback) Glenn
The Demon Lord screamed as he perished
under the mage's holy lightning.
[00:54] (Flashback) Glenn
Their long battle had finally come to an end."
[01:24] Glenn
I wanted to be a mage of justice.
[01:47] Sistine
This is the city of Fejite, located in
the southern region of the Alzano Empire.
[01:53] Sistine
This town was born and developed alongside
the Alzano Imperial Magic Academy.
[02:23] Rumia
Are you all right?
[02:26] Rumia
May I?
[02:31] Rumia
The angels' blessings be with you.
[02:39] Rumia
The reason the Alzano Empire is
known as a major magical power
[02:44] Rumia
is the Alzano Imperial Magic Academy,
[02:46] ---
established over 400 years
after the Empire's founding.
[02:52] Man
Oh! That's a student of the academy
for you. Quite impressive.
[02:58] Rumia
Using magic outside the academy
is actually forbidden,
[03:02] ---
so please keep this a secret.
[03:03] Man
Of course. Thank you.
[03:06] Sistine
Rumia!
[03:14] Rumia
Well, good day to you.
[03:16] Man
Good luck in your magic studies.
[03:19] Rumia
Thanks.
[03:26] Sistine
The academy not only boasts a proud history,
[03:30] ---
but is also hailed as the most
prominent of schools,
[03:32] ---
where students can learn
the most advanced magic.
[03:36] Sistine
Furthermore, all famous magic users
are graduates of this academy.
[03:42] Sistine
Jeez, Rumia, I told you to go on ahead.
[03:46] Rumia
Huh?
[03:47] Rumia
I'm just a lowly freeloader.
[03:49] ---
I could never leave you behind, Lady Sistine.
[03:56] Sistine
Don't even make jokes like that.
[03:59] Sistine
We're family.
[04:04] Rumia
Sorry, Sisti.
[04:07] Sistine
That's right.
[04:11] Rumia
Still, how unusual.
[04:13] Rumia
You rarely forget things.
[04:15] Rumia
Was it because of... that?
[04:17] Sistine
Maybe so.
[04:19] Sistine
Why did Huey-sensei suddenly quit?
[04:22] Rumia
Yeah.
[04:23] Rumia
I heard we have a new substitute
teacher starting today.
[04:28] Sistine
I know.
[04:30] Sistine
I hope it's someone as
passionate as Huey-sensei.
[04:35] Glenn
Hey, out of the way! You brats!
[04:41] Sistine
Pay heed, great wind!
[04:57] Rumia
Think we went too far?
[04:59] Sistine
Y-Yeah. I just...
[05:02] Sistine
What do we do?
[05:14] Glenn
Are you okay, young ladies?
[05:25] Celica
He's late.
[05:27] Glenn
Are you hurt?
[05:28] Sistine
No. Are you all right?
[05:31] Glenn
It's dangerous to walk into traffic,
so you should be careful.
[05:34] Sistine
You're the one that suddenly
came charging through...
[05:37] Rumia
Don't. Remember, you suddenly
hit him with magic, too.
[05:42] Rumia
Go on, say you're sorry.
[05:44] Sistine
I'm sorry.
[05:45] Rumia
We're very sorry.
[05:47] Rumia
Allow me to apologize, too.
[05:50] Glenn
Oh, well, then...
[05:52] Both
Huh?
[05:52] Glenn
It's clear that I wasn't at fault in the least,
[05:55] ---
and all the blame rests
solely with you two, but...
[05:59] Glenn
If you're willing to go that far,
I can make an exception and forgive you.
[06:17] Glenn
Wait, have you and I...
[06:20] Sistine
Hey!
[06:21] Sistine
What do you think you're doing?!
[06:26] Sistine
I can't believe he'd touch
a woman without permission!
[06:29] Sistine
Scum!
[06:31] Hurley
He's scum!
[06:32] Hurley
I can't believe he's late on his first day!
[06:34] Hurley
This is why I opposed this!
[06:36] Hurley
Even if it's only temporary,
I can't believe we'd grant
[06:38] ---
some man of unknown origins a
teaching position at this academy!
[06:42] Rick
But Halley-kun, he came recommended
by Professor Celica Arfonia.
[06:48] Sistine
What's going on?
[06:49] Sistine
The period's more than halfway over.
[06:52] Rumia
Could something have happened to him?
[06:54] Wendy
A student would be one thing,
[06:55] ---
but a teacher at this academy
being late is unheard of.
[07:00] Kash
Well, in some sense, he must be a big shot.
[07:02] Geevil
More like a big bastard.
[07:06] Sistine
I'm going to go complain
on behalf of the students.
[07:10] Glenn
Oh, sorry, sorry. I'm late.
[07:13] Sistine
You finally showed up!
[07:14] Sistine
Are you aware that you're a teacher at this...
[07:19] Glenn
No, you've got the wrong person.
[07:21] Sistine
There's no way I'm mistaken!
[07:22] Glenn
No, you are.
[07:24] Sistine
That's not—
[07:25] Glenn
Uh, I'm Glenn Radars, the substitute
teacher who'll be in charge of this class.
[07:32] Glenn
I'll be helping you all with
your studies for the next month.
[07:37] Glenn
Uh, my special skills and hobbies are...
[07:39] Sistine
Enough with the introductions!
Could you please hurry up and start class?
[07:43] Glenn
Oh, well, I suppose so.
[07:47] Glenn
That is my job.
[07:48] Rick
Surely you have no complaints if he has
a recommendation from a professor?
[07:51] Hurley
No, even so!
[07:53] Rick
His magic capacity and
memory are both average.
[07:55] Rick
He's equally average in his
aptitude for all magic schools.
[07:58] Rick
And as a mage, his classification is only Trede.
[08:01] Hurley
Huh?
[08:02] Hurley
A mere third-rate Trede is teaching here?
[08:05] Hurley
The minimum at this school is Quatrede,
[08:07] ---
and we even have Quinde and Sede ranks!
[08:09] Hurley
Outrageous!
[08:11] Hurley
Is he even capable of teaching
our school's talented students?
[08:15] Hurley
Surely he wouldn't declare a
self-study period and sip tea!
SIGN Self-Study
SIGN So today's class will be a self-study period.
SIGN 'Cause I'm tired.
[08:40] Sistine
Hold it right there!
[08:42] Rick
Oh, and he doesn't have a teaching license.
[08:45] ---
What?!
[08:46] Rick
Well, he still comes
recommended by a professor.
[08:50] Hurley
Impossible!
[08:52] Rick
He's talented, you know.
[08:54] Rick
He was admitted to our academy at age 11.
[08:56] Rick
Yet it also says he left the academy at age 15.
[09:00] Hurley
Where did he advance to?
[09:01] Rick
The four years after that are unknown.
[09:03] Hurley
Wouldn't that mean he's just wasted
all that time doing nothing?!
[09:07] Hurley
So he's a foolish mage that can't be trusted?!
[09:11] Rick
I'm not so sure about that.
[09:13] Hurley
Headmaster Rick!
[09:14] Hurley
Are you trusting that witch?!
[09:16] Celica
Witch, huh?
[09:19] Celica
Listen to you talk.
[09:22] Rick
Oh, Celica-kun.
[09:23] Hurley
Wh-When did you...
[09:25] Celica
Who knows?
[09:28] Celica
More importantly...
[09:30] Celica
You can speak ill of me as much as you like,
[09:33] ---
but I won't allow you to speak
ill of him in front of me.
[09:37] Celica
Take it back.
[09:42] Hurley
Pardon me!
[09:45] Celica
I finally managed to send him off to class.
[09:49] Rick
I see.
[09:51] Celica
I truly am sorry about this.
[09:55] Rick
We've thrust a mage with no
achievements into a teaching role.
[09:59] Rick
Halley-kun's reaction is only natural.
[10:03] Celica
I'll take responsibility.
[10:05] Celica
I'll take full responsibility for everything
he does and achieves at this academy.
[10:09] Rick
You'd go that far?
[10:11] Rick
May I ask what he means to you?
[10:17] Rick
It's not a happy story
or a unique connection.
[10:21] ---
I just...
[10:23] Rick
want him to live a full life.
[10:28] Glenn
Ow...
[10:29] Class
I've never seen someone so lifeless before.
[10:35] Sistine
His writing's so bad, I can't read it.
[10:37] Rumia
Y-Yeah.
[10:38] Wendy
Even after taking Sistine's iron fist of rage,
[10:41] ---
he still isn't serious about teaching class.
[10:45] Glenn
So it's probably something about like this.
[10:49] Sistine
He's incoherent.
[10:50] Rumia
Y-You think so?
[10:55] Class
His eyes are dead.
[10:57] Rin
Um, I have a question.
[10:59] Glenn
What?
[11:01] Rin
Uh, about the runic spells
you just introduced...
[11:05] Rin
I don't understand how to translate
them into our standard language.
[11:09] Glenn
Oh...
[11:17] Glenn
I don't know, either.
[11:18] Rin
Huh?
[11:20] Glenn
Sorry, look it up yourself.
[11:23] Sistine
Hold on a moment!
[11:24] Sistine
Do you really think that response you
gave to Lynn's question befits a teacher?
[11:30] Glenn
Like I said, I don't know it, either.
[11:33] Sistine
If you can't answer a student's question,
then I think it's your job as a teacher
[11:37] ---
to look it up and have an answer
for her by our next class!
[11:41] Glenn
Then wouldn't it be faster
for her to look it up herself?
[11:44] Sistine
That's not the issue here!
[11:46] Rumia
Sisti!
[11:48] Glenn
Oh, wait.
[11:50] Glenn
Are you saying you haven't been
taught how to use a dictionary?
[11:53] Glenn
In that case, you ca— Oh.
[11:56] Glenn
Well, that's it for today!
[11:58] Sistine
Hold on a moment!
[12:05] Sistine
Huh?!
[12:07] Geevil
He's a real bastard.
[12:12] Sistine
What's with him?!
[12:13] Sistine
He's too unmotivated!
[12:16] Rumia
Now, now.
[12:18] Sistine
He's supervising our next alchemy lab, right?
[12:22] Rumia
Yeah.
[12:23] Sistine
He's gonna give me ulcers.
[12:26] Rumia
Are you all right, Sisti?
[12:28] Sistine
I think I need healing.
[12:38] Sistine
Ah, Rumia, your body feels so nice.
[12:42] Sistine
Your skin's so pale, pretty, and smooth...
[12:45] Rumia
Hey, Sisti, stop!
[12:48] Rumia
Sisti, ah, no!
[12:52] Sistine
You're developing rather steadily.
[12:55] Sistine
Why aren't any nutrients going to mine?
[12:58] Sistine
Huh?
[12:59] Sistine
This didn't heal me at all.
I'm just sadder now.
[13:02] Glenn
Ah, what a pain!
[13:03] Glenn
Sheesh, why is it even necessary
to change for an alchemy—
[13:07] Glenn
Huh?
[13:11] Sistine
Hey!
[13:12] Glenn
Okay, wait!
[13:13] Glenn
There's something I'd like to say about this
commonplace, clichéd turn of events.
[13:18] Glenn
Why should a man panic and avert his eyes,
[13:20] ---
or try to keep his hands to himself?
[13:22] Glenn
Getting beaten up over a mere
glimpse of a nude woman
[13:26] ---
is an unfair trade that's not worth it.
[13:28] Glenn
Just think about it.
[13:30] Glenn
So I'll burn this sight into my eyes!
[13:48] Sistine
I can't believe even our
alchemy lab was canceled.
[13:54] Sistine
I want to actually study.
[13:58] Rumia
While I understand how you feel,
studious Sisti, let's enjoy our lunch.
[14:03] Sistine
Right, but...
[14:06] Rumia
Your promise to your grandfather?
[14:08] Sistine
To unravel the mystery
of Melgalius's Sky Castle.
[14:12] Sistine
There's still a lot about magic I need
to learn before I can do that.
[14:18] Glenn
Excuse me.
[14:21] Sistine
You!
[14:24] Glenn
So good!
[14:30] Rumia
Um, Sensei, you're really eating a lot.
[14:34] Rumia
Do you like eating?
[14:35] Glenn
Yeah. Food's one of my few pleasures.
[14:41] Rumia
Oh, that stir-fry looks delicious.
[14:44] Glenn
Oh, you can tell?
[14:45] Glenn
Kilua beans are in season right now.
[14:48] Rumia
They are?
[14:49] Rumia
I'll have to try some next time.
[14:51] Glenn
Would you like some of mine now?
[14:53] Rumia
Huh? Are you sure?
[15:00] Rumia
They're good!
[15:01] Glenn
Right?
[15:03] Glenn
By the way, you there.
[15:06] Glenn
Is that enough for you?
[15:07] Sistine
I don't see what right you have
to complain about what I eat.
[15:12] Glenn
You won't grow if you don't eat.
[15:13] Sistine
That's none of your business.
[15:15] Sistine
I just don't eat much so I won't be
sleepy during afternoon classes.
[15:20] Sistine
Though, we have your class again after this,
[15:23] ---
so I guess it wouldn't hurt if I ate a bit more.
[15:29] Glenn
That's circuitous.
[15:30] Glenn
If you have something to say,
just come out and say it.
[15:36] Sistine
Very well.
[15:38] Sistine
Then I shall take this
opportunity to speak plainly.
[15:40] Sistine
I—
[15:43] Glenn
I get it.
[15:45] Glenn
You wanted to try some too, right?
[15:47] Glenn
You glutton.
[15:52] Sistine
I did not!
[15:53] Sistine
What I wanted to say was—
[15:54] Glenn
Now give me some of yours in return.
[15:56] Sistine
What do you think you're doing?!
[15:58] Sistine
Cut this out already!
[16:00] Rumia
Sisti...
[16:01] Sistine
You dare call yourself a teacher?!
[16:03] Glenn
Yeah, though a temporary one.
[16:10] (Flashback) Glenn
A substitute teacher at the magic academy?
[16:13] (Flashback) Celica
It'll only be until we get a
new one, but would you do it?
[16:16] (Flashback) Glenn
No way.
[16:18] (Flashback) Celica
No way?
[16:19] (Flashback) Celica
Why not, Glenn?
[16:20] (Flashback) Glenn
You know, don't you?
[16:21] (Flashback) Glenn
I'm not qualified to teach anyone.
[16:24] (Flashback) Celica
True, you don't have a teacher's license.
[16:27] (Flashback) Glenn
Stop it.
[16:28] (Flashback) Glenn
Don't force reality on someone
who's trying to act cool.
[16:32] (Flashback) Celica
By the way, you don't
have any right to refuse.
[16:34] (Flashback) Glenn
Oh? Then what if I did say no?
[16:37] (Flashback) Celica
Do you prefer to be struck by lightning?
[16:39] (Flashback) Celica
Or maybe burned in a fire?
[16:41] (Flashback) Celica
I could even freeze you in ice.
[16:47] (Flashback) Glenn
Please support me!
[16:48] (Flashback) Glenn
I don't want to work at all!
[16:51] (Flashback) Celica
Return thyself to the cycle of providence,
the five elements to elements,
[16:54] (Flashback) ---
and sever the links woven
between images and truths.
[17:04] (Flashback) Celica
The next one won't miss.
[17:14] Glenn
Okay, time to start afternoon class.
SIGN Self-Study
[17:17] Kash
Again?
[17:18] Glenn
Okay, second period of the afternoon.
SIGN Self-Study
[17:19] Geevil
Even his handwriting's lazy...
SIGN Se
[17:21] Glenn
Third period.
[17:26] Sistine
I don't really want to say this, but...
[17:29] Glenn
Then you don't have to say it.
[17:31] Sistine
I belong to the noble Fibel family of mages,
[17:34] ---
which has significant
influence with the Academy.
[17:37] Sistine
I could have you fired if
I advised my father as such!
[17:41] Glenn
Huh? Really?!
[17:43] Sistine
I'd really rather not resort to that!
[17:46] Sistine
But if you refuse to correct
your attitude as a teacher...
[17:50] Glenn
Please tell your father I'm counting on him!
[17:53] Sistine
What?!
[17:54] Glenn
Ah, great! Great!
[17:55] Glenn
Now I'll be able to quit!
[17:57] Glenn
I took this job against my will and under
threat, but I knew it wouldn't work!
[18:03] Rumia
Sisti?!
[18:11] Glenn
Ow...
[18:13] Wendy
She's challenged him to a magic duel.
[18:16] Geevil
Now it's getting interesting.
[18:19] Sistine
Can you accept that?
[18:24] Glenn
Are you serious?
[18:27] Sistine
I am serious.
[18:30] Rumia
Sisti! No!
[18:32] Rumia
Hurry up and apologize to him!
[18:34] Rumia
Pick up your glove!
[18:37] Glenn
What is it you want?
[18:39] Sistine
Please correct the bad attitude you've
shown us, and teach class responsibly.
[18:43] Glenn
You haven't forgotten, right?
[18:44] Glenn
If I win, then you'll have
to accept my demand.
[18:48] Sistine
I'm well aware.
[18:50] Glenn
Are you really sure?
[18:52] Kash
What's with him?
[18:54] Cecil
He's probably thinking of something awful.
[18:57] Sistine
Even so, as the next head of the Fibel family,
[19:03] Sistine
I cannot just sit by and
watch someone like you
[19:08] ---
who shows contempt for magic!
[19:24] Glenn
Good grief.
[19:25] Glenn
I can't believe there's an antique still
alive and using these musty old customs.
[19:32] Glenn
Sure.
[19:34] Glenn
I'll accept your duel.
[19:38] Cecil
He accepted?
[19:39] Kash
No way!
[19:41] Theresa
A duel between student and teacher?
[19:43] Wendy
It's unheard of!
[19:44] Geevil
This is too entertaining.
[19:54] Glenn
However, even I have my reservations
about injuring a brat like you.
[19:59] Glenn
So the only spell we'll use is Shock Bolt.
[20:01] Glenn
All others will be prohibited.
[20:03] Glenn
That okay?
[20:04] Sistine
The challenged reserves the right
to decide the rules of the duel.
[20:07] Sistine
I have no argument.
[20:09] Cecil
Who do you think will win?
[20:11] Kash
The teacher, of course.
[20:13] Kash
But I think he's underestimating Sistine, too.
[20:16] Wendy
But only Shock Bolt?
[20:18] Theresa
Is he giving her a handicap?
[20:20] Geevil
I'm not so sure.
[20:23] Wendy
What do you mean?
[20:24] Geevil
It's true that Shock Bolt is an all-purpose spell.
[20:27] Geevil
It's one of the rudimentary
basics we learn first.
[20:30] Geevil
It's a defensive spell that uses electricity
to paralyze and disable your opponent.
[20:35] ---
The chant is three lines: "Thunder sprites,
pay heed, and strike with your electric shock."

[20:41] Gleevil
But in actual combat,
[20:43] ---
the match is determined by which opponent
can shorten it to one line and chant faster.
[20:48] Rin
Then you think he's confident
in his chanting speed?
[20:51] Geevil
Probably.
[20:52] Wendy
He's still a mage with
Professor Arfonia's backing.
[21:03] Glenn
Hey, hey, I'm not going
to bite you or anything.
[21:07] Glenn
You can practice on me,
so come at me whenever.
[21:12] Sistine
You can't back down, Sistine.
[21:15] Sistine
So long as I am who I am,
I can't allow that man to roam free.
[21:21] Sistine
Even if I'm forced to eat dirt,
[21:24] ---
I will still refuse it!
[21:26] Sistine
That is my pride as a mage!
[21:30] Sistine
Here I go!
[21:34] Sistine
Thunder sprites, shock!
[21:58] Sistine
Huh?
[22:00] Sistine
Huh?
[22:05] Sistine
Did I misunderstand the rules?
[22:07] Glenn
Y-You're not bad.
[22:10] Glenn
Well, whatever. I'll give you the first round.
[22:13] Glenn
Since this is a three-round match.
[22:15] Sistine
Was it?!
[22:15] Glenn
Here I go!
[22:17] Glenn
Round two!
[22:18] Glenn
Thunder sprites, pay heed, and strike with y—
[22:19] Sistine
Thunder sprites, shock!
[22:22] Glenn
O-Oh?
[22:24] Glenn
I never expected you to be this good.
[22:26] Glenn
Maybe I was goofing off too much,
since this was a five-round match.
[22:29] Glenn
My bad, my bad.
[22:30] Sistine
Five?! But you just said three...
[22:33] Sistine
Fine! In that case...
[22:34] Glenn
Wait! Hey, look!
[22:36] Sistine
Huh?
[22:36] Glenn
You fell for it, idiot!
[22:38] Glenn
Thunder—
[22:38] Sistine
Thunder sprites, shock!
[22:43] Sistine
Sensei, can you...
[22:45] Sistine
not chant Shock Bolt in one phrase?
[22:49] Glenn
What are you talking about?!
[22:51] Glenn
For starters, shortening a chant is heresy!
[22:53] Glenn
I'm not saying that because
I can't or anything, either!
[22:57] Class
He can't.
[22:59] Sistine
Anyway, I've won this duel.
[23:02] Sistine
So as I've demanded,
starting tomorrow you'll—
[23:04] Glenn
Huh?
[23:06] Glenn
Did we promise anything?
[23:07] Both
Huh?!
[23:08] Glenn
I don't know what you're talking about.
[23:09] Glenn
More importantly, you're not half bad!
[23:12] Glenn
Today, I'll cut you some slack
and call it a super close call!
[23:19] Rumia
Uh...
[23:21] Glann
It won't be next time, though!

Farewell!

I didn't really lose.

It was a sneak attack.

And I wasn't in top form.

How pathetic.

[00:04] Student
No, you've got it wrong.
[00:09] Glenn
So today's class amounts to this again.
[00:12] Glenn
Take care of the rest.
[00:16] Sistine
What's his problem?
[00:18] Sistine
He's been doing nothing but this,
even after losing the duel.
[00:21] Sistine
I can't believe he'd just abandon
an agreement made between mages.
[00:26] Lynn
E-Excuse me.
[00:28] Glenn
What is it?
[00:29] Lynn
U-Um... There's something I don't understand
on the subject of translating runic...
[00:34] Sistine
You're wasting your time, Lynn.
[00:35] Lynn
Sisti?
[00:36] Sistine
You shouldn't be asking that man.
[00:39] Sistine
He doesn't understand a thing about
the greatness or value of magic.
[00:44] Lynn
B-But...
[00:45] Sistine
It's all right.
[00:47] Sistine
I'll teach you.
[00:48] Glenn
Is magic really that great or valuable?
[00:53] Sistine
I wondered what you might say.
[00:56] Sistine
Magic is the study of this world's principles.
[01:01] Sistine
The origin and structure of this world,
the rules that govern this world...
[01:06] Sistine
Magic reveals those to us
[01:08] ---
and answers the eternal question
of why we and this world exist.
[01:13] Sistine
It's the means by which humanity can discover
the path to a greater plane of existence.
[01:18] Sistine
That's why magic is great and valuable.
[01:22] Glenn
What use is it?
[01:24] Sistine
Huh?
[01:25] Glenn
Exactly what use is there in studying
the principles of this world?
[01:30] Sistine
Like I just said, it brings us
closer to a higher plane of—
[01:33] Glenn
And what's on a higher plane of existence?
[01:36] Glenn
Gods?
[01:38] Sistine
Well...
[01:39] Glenn
What kind of benefit does magic
provide humanity, anyway?
[01:44] Glenn
Just look at the medical field.
It saves people from sickness.
[01:47] Glenn
There are many fields that benefit humanity,
[01:50] ---
like agricultural sciences and
architectural engineering.
[01:52] Glenn
But is it just my imagination, or does
magic provide no benefit at all?
[01:59] Sistine
Magic isn't about something
so lowly as benefiting humanity.
[02:06] Sistine
It's about searching for the truth
behind this world and humanity itself.
[02:08] Glenn
Sorry about that.
[02:10] Glenn
I was lying.
[02:12] Glenn
Magic is incredibly useful...
[02:15] Glenn
for killing people.
SIGN Just the Slightest Bit of Motivation
[02:21] Glenn
Listen up. In the same time
sword arts can kill one person,
[02:24] ---
magical arts can kill ten people.
[02:27] Glenn
There's no other field that excels
so much at killing people.
[02:30] Sistine
Quit joking!
[02:31] Glenn
Both now and in the past, magic has
had an inseverable link with murder.
[02:35] Sistine
No!
[02:36] Glenn
Magic is a good-for-nothing field
that advanced through killing people.
[02:40] Sistine
Magic is not about that!
[02:42] Glenn
I honestly can't understand
what all of you are thinking.
[02:45] Glenn
Studying this field that's only
good for killing other people...
[02:50] Glenn
Instead of devoting your life to
something so foolish, you should—
[03:02] Glenn
Why, you...
[03:09] Sistine
I hate you!
[03:10] Rumia
Sisti!
[03:19] Glenn
What's this crap about magic being great?
[03:22] Glenn
That brat.
[03:26] Glenn
No...
[03:29] ---
I was the one being a brat.
[03:32] Glenn
Okay, I'm through with this job.
[03:35] Glenn
Better practice groveling when I get home.
[03:37] Glenn
If I apologize hard enough,
Celica should forgive me.
[03:44] Glenn
What's she doing?
[03:48] Glenn
A magic circle?
[03:52] Rumia
That's odd...
[03:55] Glenn
Personal use of this lab
is prohibited, you know.
[03:58] Rumia
Glenn-sensei!
[03:59] Rumia
I'm sorry. I just wanted to review
how to construct magic circles.
[04:03] Rumia
I'll clean up right away.
[04:05] Glenn
It's fine.
[04:06] Glenn
See it all the way through.
[04:08] Rumia
It's not working right, though.
[04:10] Glenn
Idiot.
[04:11] Glenn
You're just short on mercury.
[04:13] Rumia
Huh?
[04:13] Glenn
You all get sensitive so easily
about things you can't see,
[04:18] ---
but for whatever reason,
you neglect what's in front of you.
[04:22] Glenn
That proves you consider magic
more sacred than it really is.
[04:27] Glenn
There. Try activating it again.
[04:30] Glenn
Use five phrases, just like the textbook says.
[04:31] Glenn
Don't shorten it.
[04:32] ---
Okay.
[04:35] Rumia
Cycle, cycle, oh origin of life.
[04:38] ---
Form your path within the circle of truth.
[04:55] Rumia
I've never seen such a beautiful circle before.
[04:58] Glenn
Don't be stupid. Anyone can do this much.
[05:01] Glenn
Besides, most of it was your doing.
[05:10] (Flashback) Celica
See? Incredible, right?
[05:20] Rumia
Glenn-sensei, you actually
love magic, don't you?
[05:24] Glenn
What makes you say that?
[05:26] Rumia
Well, you looked like you
were having fun back there.
[05:29] Glenn
No way. I hate magic.
[05:33] Rumia
Is that so?
[05:36] Rumia
What were you doing before
you became a teacher here?
[05:40] Glenn
I was a freeloading shut-in!
[05:42] Rumia
Huh? Shut-in? Freeloading?
[05:45] Glenn
There's a haughty woman named
Celica at the academy, right?
[05:49] Glenn
I've been sponging off
of her for the past year.
[05:53] Rumia
A year?
[05:54] Rumia
What about before then?
[05:58] Glenn
Okay, enough, enough.
[06:00] Glenn
That's enough digging into my past.
[06:02] Glenn
Now it's my turn to ask questions.
[06:05] Glenn
Why are you all so frantic
when it comes to magic?
[06:08] Glenn
You take a dumb thing like
magic way too seriously.
[06:12] Rumia
I want to make magic beneficial
to mankind in a real sense.
[06:19] Rumia
To that end, right now,
I want to understand magic more.
[06:25] Rumia
There's someone I'd like to repay a debt to.
[06:28] Glenn
What do you mean?
[06:31] Rumia
Three years ago, when I
was banished from my home,
[06:35] Rumia
right around the time I
started living with Sisti,
[06:38] Rumia
I was captured by evil
mages and nearly killed.
[06:43] Rumia
That was when a mage of
justice came to my rescue.
[06:50] Rumia
He took care of the evil
mages one after another.
[06:57] Rumia
It was terrifying.
[07:01] ---
But after that man saved my life, I realized...
[07:04] ---
I want to be in a position to lead humanity
so it doesn't lose its way with magic.
[07:12] ---
To do that, I'll need to
understand magic better.
[07:16] ---
And if I follow that path,
[07:21] ---
perhaps one day, I'll be able to thank
him for what he did back then.
[07:26] ---
The man who gave me light when
I was crying alone in darkness...
[07:34] Glenn
Are you...
[07:36] Rumia
What is it?
[07:40] Glenn
No, forget it.
[07:48] Rumia
Also, Sensei? Please apologize to Sisti later.
[07:54] Rumia
She feels a bond with her late
grandfather through magic.
[08:01] Rumia
So it's important to her.
[08:05] (Flashback) Grandfather
One step.
[08:06] (Flashback) Grandfather
I wish I could've taken...
[08:09] (Flashback) Grandfather
just one step into Melgalius's Sky Castle.
[08:16] (Flashback) Grandfather
That was the sole reason I became a mage.
[08:22] (Flashback) Sistine
I'll do it!
[08:24] (Flashback) Sistine
I'll become an even better mage than you,
[08:28] (Flashback) Sistine
and unravel the mysteries
of Melgalius's Sky Castle!
[08:46] Glenn
I'm sorry about yesterday.
[08:47] Sistine
Huh?
[08:49] Glenn
Well, you know, I may hate magic,
but still... I went too far.
[08:55] Glenn
Anyway, um... I'm sorry.
[08:59] Glenn
Okay, time to start class.
[09:03] Glenn
Though, before that, I have one thing to say.
[09:06] Glenn
You guys really are idiots.
[09:09] Class
Huh?!
[09:11] Glenn
I realized it while watching
how you approach class.
[09:14] Glenn
You don't understand a
single thing about magic.
[09:17] Guy
You're one to talk!
[09:17] Girls
What?!
[09:17] Student
I don't want to hear that
from a third-rate mage
[09:18] Girls
That's your fault!
[09:19] Girls
Screw you!
[09:20] Girls
This is cruel!
[09:20] Student
who can't even one-line a chant
as simple as Shock Bolt.
[09:22] Glenn
Well, frankly, you're making
my ears burn with that one.
[09:26] Glenn
I don't have any sense for mana
manipulation and chant reduction.
[09:31] Glenn
But "as simple as Shock Bolt," you say?
[09:34] Glenn
You really are idiots.
[09:36] Class
Wha?!
[09:37] Glenn
So today, I'm going to teach
you about that Shock Bolt.
[09:41] ---
The basic chant is:
[09:43] ---
"Thunder sprites, pay heed,
and strike with your electric shock."
[09:48] Student
Figures he's using a three-line chant.
[09:51] Student
We already mastered Shock Bolt a long time ago.
[09:53] Glenn
As you all know, for those with an
excellent sense for mana manipulation,
[09:57] ---
you can shorten it to
"Thunder sprites, shock."
[10:01] ---
But here's your question:
[10:03] ---
"Thunder sprites, pay heed,
and strike with your electric shock."
SIGN Thunder sprites, pay heed, and strike with your electric shock
[10:07] Glenn
What happens if you make this
three-line chant into four lines?
SIGN Thunder sprites, pay heed, and strike with your electric shock.
SIGN Thunder sprites, / pay heed, / and strike / with your electric shock.
[10:12] Student
That chant wouldn't function properly.
[10:15] Student
It'll fail somehow or other.
[10:17] Glenn
I know that, idiot.
[10:20] Glenn
I'm asking you what shape
that failure will take.
[10:24] Student
Obviously, that's just random!
[10:26] Glenn
Random? Didn't you say you've mastered this?
[10:30] Glenn
What? You're all done?
[10:33] ---
Fine, then. The answer is...
[10:36] ---
It'll curve right.
[10:39] ---
Thunder sprites, pay heed, and strike,
with your electric shock.
[10:50] Student
No way!
[10:51] Student
That's impossible!
[10:52] Glenn
By the way, if you make it five lines, like this,
SIGN Thunder / sprites, / pay heed, / and strike / with your electric shock
SIGN Thunder / sprites, / pay heed, / and strike / with your electric shock
SIGN the firing range shortens.
SIGN Thunder / sprites, / pay heed, / and strike / with your electric shock
[10:57] ---
If you erase one part,
SIGN Thunder / sprites, / pay heed, / strike / with your electric shock
SIGN then its output plummets.
SIGN Well, if you're claiming you've mastered it, then you should be capable of this.
SIGN Listen, in short, magic is just an advanced form of autosuggestion.
SIGN The runic language we use when chanting spells
SIGN is the language most efficient for achieving that.
[11:16] ---
It reforms the human subconscious so we can
intervene upon the principles of this world.
SIGN You guys might say that magic is about studying the principles of this world,
SIGN but you're wrong.
SIGN Magic is about probing the heart of mankind.
SIGN You all look like you refuse to believe that mere words could have such power.
SIGN In that case...
SIGN Hey, white cat.
[11:40] Sistine
Wh-White cat?!
[11:41] Sistine
Are you calling me a white cat?
[11:43] Sistine
I have a proper name, Sistine—
[11:45] Glenn
I love you.
[11:46] Glenn
I fell for you the moment
I first laid eyes on you.
[11:50] Glenn
Okay, pay attention!
[11:51] Glenn
The white cat's face is now beet red!
[11:53] Glenn
That's a splendid show of how
mere words influenced her mind.
[11:58] Glenn
Influencing the world through
the use of language...
[12:00] Glenn
That is the foundation of ma—
[12:02] Glenn
Hey, idiot! Don't throw your textbook!
[12:04] Sistine
You're the idiot!
[12:05] Sistine
You idiot, idiot, idiot!
[12:07] Glenn
A-Anyway...
[12:09] Glenn
Magic has something similar
to grammar and syntax,
[12:13] Glenn
which helps it reform your subconscious
in the way you want.
[12:17] ---
Once you know that, then, for example...
[12:20] ---
Well, anyway, paralyze.
[12:26] ---
Huh? That was weaker than I expected.
[12:29] ---
Well, then you'll be able
to modify it like that.
[12:32] Student
No way!
[12:33] Student
He can activate it with
such a half-hearted chant?
[12:35] Student
"Keywords to activate the spell
embedded in your subconscious."
[12:39] Student
That's what a chant is.
[12:41] Student
In short, it's just an association game.
[12:43] Student
For example, what associations come to mind
when you hear this white cat's nickname?
[12:48] Students
A cat.
[12:48] Students
A cat, yeah.
[12:49] Glenn
Chants and spells work the same.
[12:51] Glenn
Once you know that, modifying
chants like these isn't hard.
[12:55] Glenn
But skipping over those basics
[12:58] ---
and writing down or translating chants because
this dumb textbook just says to memorize them...
[13:03] Glenn
That's the kind of "for dummies"
classes you've been taking thus far.
[13:10] Glenn
Talk about dumb.
[13:13] Glenn
Right now, all of you are no more
than magic users who can use spells.
[13:18] Glenn
If you want to call yourselves mages,
then think hard about what you're lacking.
[13:23] Glenn
Now, I'm going to teach you
the most basic of basics.
[13:27] Glenn
If you're not interested, then just sleep.
[13:33] Celica
I knew it all along!
[13:35] Celica
He can do it when he puts his mind to it!
[13:37] Rick
His class has been so popular, even other
students are stopping in to watch.
[13:37] Celica
I always thought his talent
lay in teaching others.
[13:41] Celica
Well, that's because he's my best
apprentice, who I taught from scratch!
[13:45] Rick
What?
[13:45] Celica
He's the one I chose when I wouldn't
take any other apprentices.
[13:46] Halley
Damn you, Glenn Radars! One day,
you'll be gone from this academy!
[13:51] Glenn
In contrast with general magic,
[13:53] ---
you all tend to view unique,
original magic as sacred,
[13:58] ---
but creating it isn't that big a deal.
[14:02] Glenn
So what makes it challenging?
[14:04] Glenn
The single fact that you
have to somehow surpass
[14:07] ---
general magic that's already
been minutely perfected.
[14:12] Glenn
Otherwise, there's no point in using it.
[14:21] Glenn
You know...
[14:32] Glenn
This isn't so bad.
[14:34] Celica
Oh, look at you, getting
all pensive in the twilight.
[14:38] Celica
Enjoying your youth, I see.
[14:39] Glenn
What do you want?
[14:41] Celica
Well, you know, I just thought
you've perked up a bit lately.
[14:46] Celica
Before, you looked like a fish
that had been dead for a month,
[14:50] Celica
but now, you look like one
that's only been dead for a day.
[14:53] Glenn
Hey.
[14:57] Glenn
Sorry for worrying you.
[15:04] Celica
Well, I'll be away for a magic
conference starting tomorrow,
[15:07] Celica
but your class is behind after Huey left,
so you're having supplementary lessons, right?
[15:14] Celica
Don't play any weird pranks on your female
students just because we'll all be away.
[15:17] Glenn
As if!
[15:19] Glenn
Besides, after getting used
to seeing a woman like you,
[15:21] ---
how could I be interested in average women?
[15:24] Celica
Oh? You've been looking at
me that way, you pervert?
[15:27] Glenn
Of course not!
[15:29] Glenn
Get away!
[15:29] Glenn
Don't shove your breasts against me!
[15:31] Celica
You're no fun.
[15:33] Rumia
Sensei!
[15:35] Rumia
Oh, Professor Arfonia.
[15:36] Celica
What's wrong? Need Glenn for something?
[15:38] Rumia
Yes! There's something I wanted to ask you.
[15:41] Glenn
Oh? All right, then.
[15:43] Glenn
I guess the great teacher Glenn Radars
can give his poor students advice.
[15:48] Sistine
This is why you were the
last person I wanted to ask!
[15:54] Rumia
His explanation was really
easy to understand.
[15:57] Sistine
He's incredible as a magic instructor,
but he's still a scumbag.
[16:03] Rumia
Hey, Sisti,
[16:04] ---
do you remember when I
first came to this house?
[16:08] Sistine
Where's this coming from?
[16:10] Rumia
We didn't get along very well at first, right?
[16:15] Sistine
Well...
[16:18] Rumia
But now we're good friends.
[16:22] Rumia
So I'm sure even you and Glenn-sensei can...
[16:25] Sistine
That's not happening!
[16:27] Rumia
You're so bashful.
[16:31] Voice
Is the plan proceeding smoothly?
[16:33] Man
Yes.
[16:35] Man
But there is Glenn, the man
Celica Arfonia brought on board...
[16:39] Voice
He's just a third-rate mage.
[16:41] Voice
He's no threat to us.
[16:43] Voice
Proceed as planned, when the
magic conference commences.
[16:47] Man
Then I will pray for the plan's success.
[16:50] Man
Glory to the Divine Wisdom.
[16:58] Glenn
Late! I'm late!
[17:09] Glenn
Come on out.
[17:10] Glenn
It's obvious you're there.
[17:13] Man
It was a quick barrier to ward people off,
[17:16] ---
but you're still pretty sharp
for a third-rate mage.
[17:20] Glenn
And who on earth might you be?
[17:23] Glenn
I'm in a hurry.
[17:24] Man
There's no need for that.
[17:26] Man
Because your new destination
is the afterlife!
[17:29] Man
Corruption, fester!
[17:35] Sistine
He's really been popular lately.
[17:38] Sistine
What?
[17:40] Rumia
You're feeling lonely now that Sensei's
getting more popular, huh?
[17:43] Sistine
Wh-What are you saying? That's not—
[17:47] Man
Hey!
[17:49] Man
Pardon us!
[17:51] Sistine
Hey! Who are you people?!
[17:54] Man
Your teacher's occupied,
so we've come in his stead.
[17:57] Sistine
Stop playing around!
[17:59] ---
Outsiders are prohibited here!
[18:01] Sistine
If you don't leave at once, I'll call secur—
[18:03] Man
Bang.
[18:10] Sistine
M-Military-grade magic?
[18:12] Man
If you defy us again, you're dead.
[18:17] Man
We're looking for a girl called Rumia-chan.
[18:21] Man
Could you raise your hand if you're here?
[18:24] Man
Huh? She's supposed to be in this class.
[18:28] Man
Maybe you're Rumia-chan?
[18:30] Lynn
I-I'm not.
[18:31] Man
Then do you know who Rumia-chan is?
[18:34] Lynn
I don't.
[18:35] Man
Really? I hate liars, you know.
[18:39] Sistine
What are you planning to do with Rumia?
[18:43] Man
Do you know Rumia-chan?
[18:44] Sistine
Answer my question.
[18:48] Man
You're mouthy.
[18:49] Man
Ba—
[18:50] Rumia
I'm Rumia.
[19:01] Man
So you're Rumia-chan?
[19:03] Man
Yeah, actually, we knew.
[19:05] Man
I was just playing a game where we kill
uninvolved people until you reveal yourself.
[19:11] Man
That's enough playing around.
[19:14] Man
Yeah, yeah.
[19:15] Man
Come.
[19:16] Sistine
You can't, Rumia.
[19:17] Rumia
It's all right. I'm sure Glenn-sensei
will come rescue everyone.
[19:22] Man
That teacher? We already killed him.
[19:24] Sistine
Lies.
[19:25] Rumia
No way...
[19:28] Man
Now come.
[19:35] Rumia
What is it you're after?
[19:36] Rumia
Why do you want me?
[19:37] Man
You should know quite well, Rumia Tingel...
[19:41] Man
I mean, Princess Ermiana.
[19:44] Man
You are not supposed to be alive.
[19:47] Man
Yet you remain when you should be gone,
[19:50] Man
and that makes you worth using.
[19:55] Man
Since you are a pretty woman,
[19:57] Man
it'd be a waste not to enjoy you.
[19:59] Sistine
I'm the daughter of the proud Fibel family!
[20:02] Man
What's that mean? You a big shot?
[20:04] Man
To be honest, having my way with girls
like Rumia-chan isn't any fun for me.
[20:08] Man
She may look weak, but she's the
type whose spirit won't break.
[20:13] Man
But you, on the other hand...
[20:15] Man
You might be acting tough,
[20:16] ---
but you're just a kid hiding her
own weakness with a mask.
[20:20] Man
I enjoy breaking weak
women like you the most!
[20:25] Sistine
Screw you! You think I'll submit to you?!
[20:33] Man
Huh?
[20:46] Man
What pretty skin you have!
[20:48] Sistine
...op... this...
[20:51] Man
What?
[20:53] Sistine
Please stop.
[20:56] Sistine
Please.
[20:58] Man
You fell so fast!
[21:00] Man
You're the best!
[21:02] Sistine
No. Someone, save me!
[21:04] Man
Time to dig in!
[21:04] Man
No!
[21:13] Man
Who the hell are you?
[21:15] Glenn
Sorry to interrupt.
[21:16] Sistine
Help me out here!
[21:18] Glenn
Hey, you.
[21:20] Glenn
No matter how unpopular you are,
what you're doing is a crime.
[21:23] Sistine
No! Sensei, run!
[21:25] Glenn
Help me, run, which is it?
[21:28] Sistine
Forget it, just hurry! You're no match—
[21:30] Man
Too late!
[21:33] Man
Bang!
[21:38] Man
Huh?
[21:39] Man
Bang! Bang!
[21:40] Glenn
Magic won't activate anymore.
[21:44] Man
The Fool arcana?
[21:48] Glenn
By reading the magic spell that's
been converted into this card,
[21:52] ---
I can completely seal the
activation of all magic
[21:56] ---
within a set range centered around me.
[22:00] Glenn
That's my original spell, The Fool's World.
[22:05] Man
Original spell?!
[22:07] Man
Are you saying you're at that level?!
[22:10] Sistine
He can seal magic?
That'd make him invincible!
[22:13] Glenn
Of course, it means I can't
activate magic, either.
[22:16] Both
Huh?!
[22:17] Glenn
Well, you know, I'm in the
effective range too, so...
[22:22] Man
How is a mage going to fight
if he seals his own magic?!
[22:25] Man
You're an idiot!
[22:27] Sistine
We're done for!
[22:28] Man
Why don't you hurry up and—
[22:35] Man
Wh-Why, you!
[22:50] Man
Th-The imperial military's
hand-to-hand combat style?
[22:53] Man
Who the hell are you?!
[22:56] Glenn
Glenn Radars, substitute teacher.
[22:59] Man
Then you defeated Carrel?!
[23:03] Man
Impossible!
[23:04] Man
Some mage who challenges
people to fist fights can't...
[23:07] Glenn
Good grief.
[23:09] Glenn
If you hate being defeated
by non-magic that badly,
[23:12] Glenn
then I'll finish you off with
the legendary super magic,
[23:15] ---
the magic iron fist, Magical Punch!
[23:18] Glenn
Here I go!
[23:18] Glenn
Magical Punch!
[23:32] Man
That's a kick!
[23:35] Glenn
That's the part that makes it magical!

[00:06] Glen
You were scared, right?
[00:08] Glen
Are you hurt?
[00:08] Sistine
I'm all right. But...
[00:11] Glenn
Don't ask, please!
[00:13] Glenn
I already knew.
[00:15] Glenn
I don't have any right to teach others.
[00:19] Glenn
My hands are too dirty.
[00:22] Sistine
No, that's not it.
[00:24] ---
Um...
[00:27] Sistine
Your pants are down.
SIGN The Fool and Death

So the other man took Rumia?
SIGN Incompetent
[00:37] Sistine
Yes.
[00:38] Glenn
Why would he?
[00:40] Sistine
I don't know.
[00:41] Glenn
Guess we'll have to make this one talk.
[00:50] Glenn
Hey, Celica!
[00:51] Glenn
What are you doing?!
[00:52] Glenn
I've been trying to reach you!
[00:54] Celica
Sorry. I was in the middle of an address.
[00:57] Celica
Did something happen?
[01:00] Celica
Are you serious?
[01:02] Glenn
You think I'd joke about this?!
[01:04] Glenn
The intruders seized our barrier and
have completely sealed off the academy.
[01:08] Glenn
They've taken students hostage, too.
[01:10] Celica
Did you figure out who they are?
[01:12] Glenn
Yeah.
[01:14] Glenn
The Researchers of Divine Wisdom.
[01:16] Celica
I see. That secret society of evil mages...
[01:20] Celica
To think the most infamous terrorists in the
Empire's history would show themselves there.
[01:24] Glenn
But they shouldn't be able to break through
this academy's magic security that easily.
[01:30] ---
Which means...
[01:31] Celica
They have an accomplice inside the academy?
[01:34] Glenn
Yes.
[01:35] Glenn
So could you start investigating to see if
there are any suspicious professors?
[01:39] Glenn
Also ask the Court Mage Corps for backup.
[01:41] Celica
That will be difficult.
[01:43] Glenn
Don't be dumb!
[01:44] Glenn
The students' lives are at stake here!
[01:46] Sistine
Sensei...
[01:48] Celica
Right now, I'm just an instructor.
I don't have that authority.
[01:52] Glenn
Then hurry back here yourself!
[01:54] Glenn
There's a teleportation circle
at the academy, right?
[01:56] Celica
Calm down.
[01:57] Celica
If they were so thorough
in seizing our barrier,
[02:01] ---
they probably destroyed
the teleportation circle first.
[02:05] Glenn
Sorry, I wasn't thinking straight.
[02:07] Celica
Anyway, I will make haste on my end, too.
[02:10] Glenn
Please do.
[02:11] Celica
Glenn...
[02:12] Glenn
Huh?
[02:14] Celica
Don't die.
[02:15] Glenn
Like I'd die in a place like this.
[02:23] Glenn
What is it?
[02:24] Sistine
Does it seem like we'll get help?
[02:26] Glenn
Did it sound that way to you?
[02:31] Glenn
Where are you going?!
[02:32] Sistine
I'm going to rescue Rumia!
[02:34] Glenn
Stop it. Do you want to throw your life away?
[02:36] Sistine
But...
[02:41] Sistine
I'm so frustrated.
[02:44] Glenn
H-Hey, white cat?
[02:46] Sistine
You were right.
[02:49] Sistine
Magic isn't good for anything!
[02:51] Sistine
Because it exists, Rumia is...
[02:54] Sistine
Rumia is...
[02:59] Glenn
Don't cry, idiot.
[03:05] Sistine
Sensei?
[03:07] Glenn
Rumia said she wants to
understand magic better
[03:10] ---
so she can make it truly useful to others.
[03:16] Sistine
She said that?
[03:19] Glenn
I can't let her die.
[03:21] Glenn
I'll take action.
[03:23] Glenn
I'll quickly kill the two
remaining enemies myself.
[03:38] Jin
Kill, huh?
[03:40] Jin
Imagine that. You're just like us, aren't you?
[03:44] Sistine
M-My teacher is nothing like you people!
[03:47] Jin
No, I can tell.
[03:49] Jin
He's definitely a bastard.
[03:52] Jin
He's an evil murderer, just like us!
[03:56] Sistine
S-Sensei...
[04:05] Sistine
S-Sensei!
[04:08] Glenn
Bone golems?
[04:10] Jin
It's finally here!
[04:12] Jin
Our boss Reik's summoning magic!
[04:14] Jin
Get them!
[04:21] Jin
H-Hey!
[04:22] Jin
They're the enemy!
[04:24] Jin
Stop!
[04:25] Jin
Stop it!
[04:32] Glenn
Stay back!
[04:42] Glenn
So hard!
[04:43] Glenn
You've been drinking too much milk, damn it!
[04:47] Sistine
Upon thy sword, light!
[04:51] Glenn
Sorry! And thanks!
[04:57] Glenn
Run!
[04:58] Sistine
Y-Yes!
[05:04] Glenn
I'll hold them here.
[05:06] ---
You alter your specialty, Gale Blow,
to spread wide and last long!
[05:11] Sistine
Huh?! You want something that advanced?!
[05:13] Glenn
You're impertinent, but good,
so you'll be fine!
[05:16] Glenn
Though you are impertinent!
[05:18] Sistine
Don't emphasize that part!
[05:20] Glenn
If you understand what I've been teaching
lately, you should be able to do it!
[05:25] Glenn
If you can't, I'll dock your credits.
[05:27] Sistine
Th-That's not fair!
[05:30] Sistine
All right! I'll try!
[05:32] Glenn
I'm counting on you, white cat.
[05:35] Glenn
Come on, you calcium freaks!
[05:43] Sistine
Wind, be still—
[05:45] Sistine
But then, the force...
[05:48] Sistine
Tempest, run rampant—
[05:50] Sistine
But in order to make it last longer...
[05:53] Sistine
It only needs to work right now.
[05:54] Sistine
It needs the strength Rumia showed when she
refused to budge an inch before her enemy.
[05:59] Sistine
The strength Sensei is showing by
trusting me as he keeps fighting.
[06:05] Sistine
Now, it's my turn to save him!
[06:08] Sistine
Sensei, it's done!
[06:11] Glenn
Nice work!
[06:12] Glenn
Let it loose!
[06:13] Sistine
Keep them at bay, wall of tempest,
[06:18] ---
and grant peace to those below!
[06:27] Sistine
N-No!
[06:28] Sistine
It can't stop them completely.
[06:30] Sistine
I'm sorry, Sensei.
[06:32] Sistine
No, you did great.
[06:35] Sistine
Keep it up.
[06:39] Glenn
I am the one who slays and captures gods.
[06:42] Glenn
I am the one who knows the end
and the founder of genesis.
[06:45] Glenn
Return thyself to the cycle of providence,
the five elements to elements,
[06:51] Glenn
and sever the links woven
between images and truths.
[06:55] Glenn
Now all of creation shall perish here,
[06:59] Glenn
at the distant ends of the void.
[07:01] Glenn
Prepare to be blown away, you rabble!
[07:03] ---
Black magic, modified:
[07:06] ---
Extinction Ray!
[07:22] Sistine
Incredible.
[07:23] Sistine
Using such an high-level spell...
[07:28] Sistine
Sensei!
[07:33] Sistine
You're so cold! Is it mana deficiency?
[07:36] Glenn
Yeah, since I forced myself to
use a spell beyond my means.
[07:44] Glenn
We're getting away from here right now.
[07:45] Glenn
We have to get somewhere else, fast.
[07:52] Glenn
Well, I guess you're not
that soft an opponent.
[07:55] Reik
To think you could use Extinction Ray.
[08:00] Reik
I heard you were a third-rate mage,
[08:03] ---
but it seems I underestimated you.
[08:08] Glenn
Jeez, floating swords give me
bad enough vibes as it is.
[08:13] Reik
I wasn't expecting both
of them to be defeated.
[08:15] Glenn
Screw you.
[08:16] Glenn
You killed one of them yourself.
Don't go blaming others.
[08:20] Glenn
Hey, white cat, do you have power left
to disable those swords with Dispel Force?
[08:26] Sistine
I think I would fall a bit short, even
if I used up all my remaining power.
[08:30] Sistine
Besides, he leaves no opening for it.
[08:33] Glenn
I see.
[08:35] Glenn
Then...
[08:36] Glenn
There.
[08:38] Sistine
Huh?
[08:41] Sistine
Huh?!
[08:44] Glenn
Now, then.
[08:46] Reik
You're not going to run?
[08:49] Reik
I know you can use your "The Fool's World"
to prevent magic from activating.
[08:55] Reik
But that doesn't stop spells
that are already active, right?
[09:06] Reik
Those magic weapons are trouble!
[09:08] Reik
But no matter how skilled they are,
[09:10] ---
their mana fluctuates in the moment
right before and after activating magic.
[09:13] Reik
If I use The Fool's World in that instant...
[09:18] Reik
Crimson Lion, pay heed, and roar with rage!
[09:21] Reik
Disperse.
[09:23] Reik
Too slow, magic instructor.
Let me show you how it's done.
[09:27] Reik
Flame lion!
[09:28] Glenn
Got you!
[09:29] Glenn
Ferocious thunder emperor, pay heed,
[09:31] Reik
What?!
[09:31] Glenn
and pierce with your
brilliant lance of light!
[09:43] Glenn
I thought I'd land at least one on you.
[09:47] Reik
Forcing me to choose between two
deaths in such a short time...
[09:51] Reik
If I'd chosen to proceed with my magical
attack, you would have sealed it
[09:55] ---
and brought me into close quarters combat.
[09:57] Reik
If I'd chosen to attack with my sword,
[10:00] ---
I'd have faced a point-blank
Lightning Pierce.
[10:04] Reik
Who on earth are you?
[10:06] Glenn
I'm just a magic instructor.
Only a substitute, though.
[10:10] Reik
I'm not so sure about that...
[10:12] Reik
But I'll show you respect.
[10:15] Reik
Now die!
[10:16] Glenn
Power of creation, pay heed...
[10:17] Reik
Dispel Force, huh?
[10:23] Glenn
...and maintain the balance of the scales.
[10:26] Reik
You struggle in vain.
[10:27] Glenn
Return them to zero.
[10:29] Reik
You don't have the power left for that.
[10:32] Reik
This ends now!
[10:32] Sistine
Power, return them to nothing!
[10:34] Reik
What?!
[10:37] Sistine
Glenn-sensei!
[10:47] Reik
Awaken, blade!
[10:48] Glenn
Too slow!
[10:59] Reik
I-I remember now.
[11:02] Reik
Until recently, there was
a skilled mage killer
[11:06] ---
in the Imperial Court Mages
Corps, codenamed—
[11:15] Glenn
Making me do something
so damned loathsome...
[11:17] Sistine
Sensei!
[11:18] Glenn
It's all right.
[11:20] Glenn
I'm surprised you understood my intent.
[11:23] Sistine
Huh?
[11:24] (Flashback) Sistine
Huh?!
[11:27] (Flashback) Sistine
Jeez! What is that man doing?!
[11:35] (Flashback) Sistine
I guess I'm just a burden, after all.
[11:40] (Flashback) Glenn
Do you have power left to disable
those swords with Dispel Force?
[11:44] Sistine
If you were just trying to help me escape,
you wouldn't have asked that.
[11:51] Glenn
I figured there was about a
70% chance you wouldn't get it.
[11:54] Glenn
Well, let's get moving.
[11:58] Sistine
You can't fight in that condition!
[12:00] Glenn
Like I have the luxury to worry about that!
[12:06] Sistine
Sensei!
[12:07] Glenn
Damn it!
[12:13] Sistine
Merciful angels, pay heed, and grant
this one your peace, your saving grace.
[12:23] Glenn
I guess it's just not possible.
[12:26] Sistine
Huh?
[12:28] Glenn
I wanted to be a mage of justice.
[12:53] Celica
Glenn, are you all right?!
[12:54] Glenn
Yeah, somehow.
[12:56] Glenn
How's your end?
[12:57] Celica
Yeah, as we thought, the teleportation
circles had been shut down.
[13:02] Celica
I'm still searching for the collaborator.
[13:05] Celica
Glenn, there's one thing bugging me.
[13:07] Glenn
Huh?
[13:08] Celica
It looks like the barrier around the academy
[13:10] ---
has been set to keep anyone from leaving.
[13:13] Glenn
Then how are they planning to get away?
[13:17] Glenn
There haven't been any further
attacks since I defeated Reik.
[13:20] Glenn
Where are the rest of them,
and what are they doing?
[13:25] Glenn
Hey, Celica!
[13:26] Glenn
Where's the teleportation circle here?
[13:29] Celica
In that ridiculously tall tower.
What about it?
[13:32] Glenn
The teleportation circle wasn't shut down.
[13:35] Glenn
Its destination is being
rewritten for their escape!
[13:38] Celica
No way! That would take half a day!
[13:41] Glenn
Yeah, and it's been about half a day now.
[13:48] Glenn
Ow.
[13:50] Glenn
Still, I can move.
[13:53] Glenn
Thanks, Sistine.
[13:57] Glenn
I'm really glad you were with me.
[14:00] Glenn
Now, I'm going to go see Rumia.
[14:08] Rumia
Why are you doing this?
[14:10] Rumia
You weren't the kind of
person who'd do this.
[14:16] Glenn
Hey there!
[14:18] Rumia
Sensei!
[14:19] Glenn
Rumia!
[14:20] Rumia
You're all right?
[14:22] Glenn
Listen, if I look all right to you,
you need to visit the hospital.
[14:29] Glenn
So you're the one behind this?
[14:32] Huey
Yes, I am.
[14:37] Glenn
Jeez, you're already guilty
of being good-looking,
[14:40] ---
and now you're adding
more crimes to your list.
[14:42] Glenn
The kind teacher Glenn's patience
is already running out!
[14:47] Glenn
The first strike wins!
[14:49] Glenn
And I nailed it.
[14:50] Glenn
So too bad for you. I wi—
[14:53] Huey
No, I win.
[14:55] Glenn
What do you mean?
[14:57] Huey
In ten minutes, the rewrite of the
teleportation circle will be complete,
[15:01] ---
and Rumia-san will be transported
to our organization.
[15:04] Huey
At the same time, the white
magic ritual I already finished,
[15:08] ---
Sacrifice, will activate, devouring
my soul to generate mana,
[15:14] ---
and blowing up the entire academy.
[15:17] Rumia
Stop this already, Huey-sensei!
[15:20] Glenn
Huey?
[15:21] Glenn
That's the one who went
missing before I came here.
[15:25] Glenn
So that's it!
[15:27] Huey
A human bomb planted years ago,
in preparation for the appropriate time.
[15:32] Huey
That's me.
[15:34] Glenn
Yeah, that's right.
[15:36] Glenn
You Researchers of Divine Wisdom are
all a bunch of idiots like that.
[15:40] Huey
This is a game.
[15:41] Glenn
Huh?
[15:43] Huey
If you can undo the teleportation
circle binding Rumia-san,
[15:46] ---
then Sacrifice won't activate.
[15:48] Huey
But if you wait for The
Fool's World to run out,
[15:52] ---
you won't be able to dispel
it with the time lost.
[15:54] Huey
So what'll you do, Glenn-sensei?
[15:56] Rumia
Sensei, please run!
[15:58] Rumia
At least save yourself!
[16:00] Huey
I forgot to mention this,
but you can't kill me, either.
[16:04] Huey
If I die, then it all activates immediately.
[16:24] Glenn
Power of creation, pay heed, and pass
through my blood and form your path.
[16:29] Huey
Using your own blood as
a catalyst? Impressive.
[16:33] Glenn
Let the divine cycle end, let the foundation
of calm, the yoke of principles,
[16:37] Glenn
be unleashed here!
[16:43] Huey
You're quick.
[16:44] Huey
However, that was only
the first of five layers.
[16:49] Glenn
Damn it!
[16:52] Rumia
Sensei! Forget about me and run!
[16:55] Glenn
Be quiet a moment!
[16:56] Rumia
If you keep using magic, Sensei, you'll die!
[17:01] Glenn
Yeah, I bet the white cat would love that!
[17:05] Rumia
No way...
[17:06] Rumia
Why are you going to such lengths?!
[17:08] Rumia
Why are you risking your own life?!
[17:10] Glenn
I always wanted to be a mage of justice.
[17:16] Rumia
Huh?
[17:17] Glenn
But in reality, the world of magic
was a filthy, bloodstained world.
[17:23] Glenn
I really wasted my whole life.
[17:27] Glenn
Still...
[17:31] Glenn
I just can't give up on it!
[17:36] Glenn
If I run away, then what was
the purpose of my life?!
[17:40] Glenn
The life I spent trying
to be a mage of justice...
[17:43] Glenn
I know it was pointless,
[17:45] Glenn
but I refuse to let it be worthless!
[17:48] Glenn
Got a problem with that, damn it?!
[17:55] Glenn
This is the last layer!
[18:04] Rumia
Sensei!
[18:08] Glenn
Damn it!
[18:11] Glenn
This is isn't funny!
[18:13] Glenn
To think I'd run out of mana first...
[18:22] Glenn
Sorry...
[18:29] Rumia
Sensei!
[18:49] Rumia
I made it!
[18:50] Rumia
Since you refused to give up, I made it!
[18:55] Rumia
Sensei, please take this.
[19:17] Glenn
I feel power welling up...
[19:21] Glenn
I've heard of this before.
[19:23] Glenn
People with the special ability to exponentially
increase the power of those they touch...
[19:28] Glenn
Amplifiers!
[19:34] Glenn
Let the divine cycle end, let the foundation
of calm, the yoke of principles,
[19:39] Glenn
be unleashed here!
[20:10] Huey
I've lost, huh?
[20:14] Huey
Should I have died following
the organization's orders?
[20:17] Huey
Should I have died disobeying them?
[20:19] Huey
I wonder which I should've done.
[20:22] Glenn
Like I know.
[20:24] Glenn
You have my sympathies, but it's your own
fault for not choosing a path on your own.
[20:29] Glenn
You'll pay for your misdeeds yourself!
[20:36] Glenn
Now, grit those teeth!
[20:50] Sistine
Sensei?
[20:58] Rumia
Thank you, Glenn-sensei.
[21:07] Glenn
I can't believe Rumia
was the Princess Ermiana,
[21:10] ---
said to have died of illness three years ago.
[21:12] Celica
Yeah. The persecution of those with
special abilities is still deep-seated.
[21:16] Celica
The whole nation would be
upset if a royal was one.
[21:19] Celica
The only ones in the academy who
know are me and the headmaster.
[21:23] Glenn
Well, not that I care.
[21:26] Celica
Still, what made you decide
to stay on as a teacher?
[21:29] Glenn
Huh?
[21:30] Sistine
Oh, there you are!
[21:32] Rumia
Glenn-sensei!
[21:34] Sistine
I have some things to say to
you about that last lecture!
[21:40] Glenn
I decided I want to see what
they'll go on to achieve.
[21:45] Glenn
Perfect for killing time, right?

[00:18] Zelos
Speaking of the Alzano
Imperial Magic Academy,
[00:21] Zelos
they had that incident just
the other day, didn't they?
[00:24] Zelos
Why would she go to such a place?
[00:25] Woman
You're aware, aren't you, Zelos-dono?
[00:28] Woman
The woman at the center of that
incident was Princess Ermiana.
[00:32] Zelos
Then Her Majesty is concerned
with the Princess's safety?
[00:38] Woman
Queen Alicia,
[00:40] Woman
I've brought the grand commander
of the imperial guard, Zelos-dono.
[00:44] Zelos
I'm here regarding the matter of your
visit to Alzano Imperial Magic Academy.
[00:48] Alicia
Yes.
[00:49] Zelos
I shall protect you with all our strength
[00:52] ---
during your travels and the
competition, Your Majesty.
[00:55] Alicia
Thank you very much.
[00:57] Zelos
If I may beg your pardon
to speak, at that Academy—
[01:00] Alicia
—is the girl we pronounced dead.
[01:03] Zelos
Yes. Only a few individuals in the
Empire are aware of this fact.
[01:08] Zelos
If this visit were to somehow
bring it to light...
[01:11] Alicia
Zelos.
[01:14] Zelos
My humble apologies for
overstepping my bounds.
[01:16] Alicia
I'll keep your advice in mind.
[01:19] Zelos
Yes, Majesty.
[01:24] Alicia
It's been three years.
[01:26] Alicia
I...
[01:28] Alicia
I imagine that girl must hate me.
[01:33] Alicia
Even if she hates me,
even if she never forgives me,
[01:37] ---
so long as she is alive and healthy...
[01:41] Alicia
That's all I wish for.

[04:11] Glenn
Hey, white cat, give me the list.
[04:13] Sistine
Jeez, I've told you to stop calling me a cat.
[04:17] Glenn
I'll use my decisive judgment as your
super charismatic instructor to settle this.
[04:23] Glenn
And I'll make you guys win!
[04:25] Glenn
No playing around.
[04:26] Glenn
We're aiming for victory.
[04:30] Glenn
Okay, the duels and their higher point values
will go to the white cat, Gibul, and Kash.
[04:37] Glenn
We'll entrust speed deciphering to Wendy.
[04:39] Glenn
The flying race will go to Rodde and Ky.
[04:41] Glenn
Magic sniping to Cecil.
[04:43] Glenn
Long-range weightlifting to Teresa.
[04:45] Glenn
Rumia's the only choice for mental defense.
[04:47] Glenn
And we'll have Lynn handle transmutation.
[04:49] Glenn
Also...
[04:50] Rumia
Sensei's making sure all
of us can participate!
[04:53] Glenn
Okay, that's all settled.
[04:56] Wendy
I can't accept this!
[04:57] Wendy
Why are you removing me from
the dueling competition?!
[05:00] Glenn
Well, while your knowledge and
repertoire of spells is incredible,
[05:04] ---
you're a little clumsy and slow.
[05:07] Glenn
Sometimes you falter on your chants, too.
[05:08] Glenn
That's why we're going with Kash,
who has good judgment and reflexes.
[05:12] Glenn
But you're a cut above the
rest with Read Language,
[05:16] ---
so I'd like you to earn us points
in speed deciphering.
[05:19] Wendy
I-If that's the case, then...
[05:22] Glenn
The flying race relies on
gravity manipulation black magic.
[05:25] Glenn
Rodde, Ky, you two should
be able to handle it.
[05:28] Glenn
Teresa, you haven't realized it yourself yet,
[05:31] ---
but you have an affinity for
long-range manipulation spells.
[05:34] Glenn
Alf, Bix, Cycer. Granzia is more
about teamwork than ability.
[05:38] Glenn
Since you three are always together,
you're the best suited.
[05:40] Glenn
You three are good at
synchronization, too. Also...

he has this side to him, too.
[05:53] Glenn
Now, then, anything else?
[05:55] Glenn
Then it's decided!
[05:58] Glenn
That went well!
[06:00] Glenn

I'm broke! I'll starve!
[06:04] (Flashback) Glenn
Give me an advance or an allowance, please!

But you know we can't
issue your pay in advance.
[06:10] (Flashback) Celica
You reap what you sow!
[06:11] (Flashback) Celica
Do something about it on your own!
[06:13] (Flashback) Glenn
Did you hear her, Headmaster?!
[06:15] (Flashback) Glenn
This is the problem with Celica!
[06:17] (Flashback) Celica
And how am I the one to blame here?
[06:20] (Flashback) Glenn
Hey!
[06:21] (Flashback) Glenn
You'll crush my head!
[06:22] (Flashback) Glenn
Save me, Mama!
[06:23] (Flashback) Rick

That's it!
[06:39] Gibul
Sensei, could you cut it out already?
[06:41] Glenn
Huh?
[06:43] Glenn
You know a better way to organize
everyone so that we can win?
[06:46] Glenn
Let's hear it.
[06:47] Gibul
That's obvious.
[06:49] Gibul
Have only the top students cover all events.
[06:52] Gibul
That's the practice all
classes follow every year.
[06:56] Glenn
Huh?
[06:57] Glenn
Seriously?!
[06:58] Glenn
So we can use students more than once?!
[07:00] Glenn
That's the practice?!
[07:02] Sistine
Hey, Gibul!
[07:03] Sistine
What's the point of competing
with only the top students?
[07:06] Sistine
Sensei said he was going to
lead our class to victory.
[07:10] Sistine
And the value lies in the idea
that we all do so together.
[07:13] Gibul
Good grief. Fine, then.
[07:15] Sistine
Right, Sensei?
[07:17] Glenn
Y-Yeah, you're right.
[07:22] Rumia
I don't think they're on the same page.
[07:26] Glenn
I'm doomed.
[07:27] Glenn
Figures all the other classes are only
competing with their top students.
[07:31] Glenn
Now I remember the magic competition.
[07:34] Glenn
I forgot all about it,
since I never once entered it.
[07:38] Student
Child of flame, pay heed, and light
a small fire at my fingertips.
[07:39] Girl
You can do it!
[07:42] Glenn
Oh, well.
[07:44] Student
Cut it out!
[07:46] Student
You Class 2 guys are in our way!
[07:48] S2
What?!
[07:49] S2
Screw you!
[07:50] S1
Those of us in Class 1 have
practice now, so beat it.
[07:53] S2
Shut up!
[07:54] Glenn
Okay, okay, okay, stop.
[07:56] Halley
Kreiss, I told you to secure a place for us.
[07:59] Glenn
Oh, hey. If it isn't my
senior instructor, Harlem.
[08:03] Halley
Halley! Halley Astry!
[08:05] Halley
Are you mocking me?
[08:06] Glenn
Uh, Hal-whatever, is your class
practicing for the competition, too?
[08:10] Halley
Naturally. As long as I'm leading them,
anything but victory is out of the question.
[08:15] Glenn
Wow, amazing, Senpai!
[08:17] Glenn
Good luck!
[08:18] Helley
Whatever. Just clear the area.
[08:20] Glenn
Well, in that case, moving back
to that tree is enough, right?
[08:23] Halley
What are you saying?
[08:25] Halley
I'm asking every single one of you
from Class 2 to get out of here.
[08:29] Glenn
Uh, that's a bit too
high-handed, don't you think?
[08:33] Halley
Glenn Radars, I hear you intend to have
everyone in your class participate.
[08:38] Glenn
Huh? I am, yeah.
[08:39] Halley
A class that's practically throwing the match
[08:42] ---
by using its lowest-scoring students to compete
[08:44] ---
is nothing but a hindrance when
it swarms the practice area.
[08:48] Glenn
I beg your pardon, but this is
the best lineup for our class.
[08:52] Glenn
Of course, we're aiming for victory, too.
[08:54] Glenn
Don't let us catch you off-guard
by underestimating us.
[08:57] Halley
Talk all you—
[08:58] Glenn
Three months.
[09:01] Halley
Huh?
[09:02] Glenn
I'll bet three months' salary
on my class's victory.
[09:06] Glenn
Will you take the bet, Senpai?
[09:09] Glenn
Oh, crap! I sprung it on him
because he ticked me off!
[09:13] Glenn
Magical research requires vast sums of money.
[09:16] Glenn
I don't intend to lose,
but on the off-chance...
[09:21] Glenn
V-Very well.
[09:22] Glenn
I'll bet three months' salary
on my class's victory, as well!
[09:27] Glenn
You've certainly got guts, Senpai.
[09:29] Glenn
Seriously?! Oh, no!
[09:31] Glenn
Okay, gotta grovel!
[09:32] Glenn
Time to put all my heart into my unique magic,
the Moonsault Jumping Grovel!
[09:36] Sistine
That's enough!
[09:37] Sistine
Halley-sensei, I don't see any justification
for your claim to the practice field.
[09:43] Sistine
If you continue this unsightly behavior,
[09:46] ---
I'll bring this up with the
Academy leaders, understand?
[09:50] Halley
Damn noble-born...
[09:52] Sistine
Besides, Glenn-sensei won't run or hide.
[09:55] Glenn
Huh?
[09:56] Sistine
We'll fight fair and square at the
competition, and achieve our victory.
[10:01] Sistine
Right, Sensei?
[10:02] Glenn
Y-Yeah!
[10:04] Halley
Very well!
[10:05] Halley
I'll make sure you regret opposing me!
[10:09] Sistine
Sensei has so much faith in us, after all.
[10:12] Sistine
There's no way we'll lose!
[10:14] All
Yeah!
[10:15] Sistine
Let's give it our best, Sensei.
[10:17] Glenn
Y-Yeah.
[10:19] Rumia
I really don't think
they're on the same page.
[10:44] Rumia
Hey, Sensei's cool, isn't he?
[10:47] Sistine
Y-Ye—
[10:49] Sistine
He's usually an oaf, so he ought
to get serious sometimes.
[10:54] Rumia
You're not being honest.
[10:55] Sistine
Wh-What do you mean?
[11:14] (Flashback) Rumia
Mother! Don't abandon me!

Be quiet.

I don't want to die.
[11:28] Rumia
Help me!
[11:29] Rumia
I don't want to die!
[11:31] Rumia
No!
[11:31] (Flashback) Glenn
It's all right.
[11:32] (Flashback) Glenn
I'm on your side.
[11:37] (Flashback) Glenn
There are still enemies left.
[11:38] (Flashback) Glenn
You can be as frightened of me as you want,
[11:41] (Flashback) Glenn
but if you'll stop crying, then...
[11:47] Sistine
Rumia?
[11:49] Sistine
Dinner's ready.
[11:50] Rumia
Oh, thanks, Sisti.
[11:52] Sistine
What's that?
[11:54] Rumia
Oh, nothing. It's nothing.
[11:56] Rumia
Anyway, tomorrow's the competition, huh?
[11:58] Rumia
Even the queen will be there,
so we'll have to do our best.
[12:03] Sistine
Rumia, tomorrow, um...
[12:08] Rumia
Thanks for worrying about me.
[12:10] Rumia
But my true parents are yours, Sisti.
[12:15] Rumia
Let's go. Father and Mother are waiting.
[12:18] Sistine
Yeah.
[12:20] Father
Sorry.
[12:22] Father
We had work come in for tomorrow.
[12:24] Father
We wanted to be there to see you
two in your big moment, but...
[12:28] Sistine
You can't help it.
You're both busy with work.
[12:31] Rumia
Don't trouble yourselves over it.
[12:33] Father
Illyana! My daughters are
so sweet, I'm going to cry!
[12:37] Father
Are my daughters angels?! No, goddesses!
[12:40] Father
They must b—
[12:41] Mother
Sorry, girls.
[12:42] Mother
It's work we just can't get out of.
[12:45] Sistine
Y-Yeah, we understand.
[12:47] Sistine
But next time I'll find a way to
threa—to request the time off.
[12:53] Rumia
Please don't force it.
[12:55] Mother
My, my. Hang in there, dear.
[13:03] Woman
You're in an awfully good mood.
[13:06] Alicia
Because I'll have a chance to
see her, even if it's from afar.
[13:10] Woman
Your Majesty, about that pendant...
[13:12] Alicia
You're right.
[13:14] Woman
How about this one instead?
[13:25] Alicia
Now, in the name of
Queen Alicia VII of Alzano,
[13:29] ---
the magic competition will hereby commence!
[13:35] Halley
My class will be the one
to win before the queen.
[13:39] Glenn
The applause is ringing
right in my empty stomach.
[13:49] Rumia
Figures.
[13:52] Announcer
Now they're heading into the final corner!
[13:53] Ky
Go!
[13:54] Announcer
Here comes Ky-kun with the baton pass
to Rodde-kun, and Rodde-kun—
[13:57] Announcer
There he goes, third through the goal!
[13:59] Announcer
Class 2 finishes third in the flying race!
[14:02] Announcer
What a surprise upset!
[14:04] Rumia
We did it!
[14:05] Rumia
Rodde-kun and Ky-kun came in third!
[14:07] Glenn
No way!
[14:08] Sistine
Sensei, did you have some
kind of trick up your sleeve?
[14:11] Glenn
Wh-Why, of course!
[14:12] Glenn
But it's really a simple matter.
[14:15] Glenn
Since this race was long distance,

pacing was more important than speed.
[14:19] Glenn
I just ran a few calculations on
the magic power they'd expend.
[14:24] S
We might be able to pull
this off if we follow Sen—
[14:26] S
Don't get carried away just because
you placed well by sheer luck.

What?!
[14:30] Halley
Stop it, Kreiss.
[14:32] Halley
I'm sure this will be a fond memory for them.
[14:34] K
Yes, Sensei.
[14:35] S
This was Glenn-sensei's strategy!
[14:37] S
So long as Sensei's on our side,
we won't lose to Class 1!
[14:40] S
Isn't that right, everyone?!
[14:41] S
Yeah, yeah!
[14:42] S
We'll get you back!
[14:43] Glenn
Stop it! Doesn't raise
the hurdle higher on me!
[14:49] Celica
Well done, Class 2!
[14:51] Rick
You're being immodest, Celica-kun!
[14:53] Celica
Oh, sorry.
[14:54] Celica
My bad, Your Majesty. Forgive me.
[14:57] Woman
Celica-sama, you're being rude to Her Majesty.
[14:59] Alicia
It's all right. She's an old friend.
[15:04] Alicia
You seem to be having fun, Celica.
[15:06] Celica
Yeah, I am, Alice.
[15:08] Celica
It's very refreshing, actually.
[15:10] Alicia
Is he truly that incredible?
[15:12] Celica
He's just an average man, yet he always
manages to do something unexpected.
[15:17] Celica
He's been that way forever, right?
[15:18] Alicia
Yes.

Class 2's Cecil-kun has landed himself

[16:11] Announcer
Your announcer, Ars,

[16:15] Jaill
Hey, girl.
[16:17] Jaill
Got some advice for you: drop out.
[16:19] Rumia
You're Jaill-kun from Class 5, right?
[16:22] Rumia
You're kind to worry about me.
[16:24] Rumia
But everyone in my class
is doing their best.
[16:27] Rumia
I have to try hard, too.
[16:29] Rumia
Besides, your class is in second place, right?
[16:32] Jaill
What about it?
[16:33] Rumia
Mine's in third.
[16:35] Rumia
If I beat you here,
we swap spots in the ranking.
[16:39] Jaill
Interesting.
[16:41] Sistine
Rumia!
[16:42] Gibul
Now, Sensei, you wouldn't be using her
[16:44] ---
as a sacrificial pawn in
mental defense, would you?
[16:47] Glenn
Huh?
[16:48] Gibul
She excels at healing white magic,
but she's not as good with other magic.
[16:53] Gibul
Using her here is certainly the logical move.
[16:56] Sistine
That's not true! There's no way Sensei would...
[16:59] Glenn
Sacrifice Rumia?
[17:00] Gibul
You're not?
[17:01] Glenn
Of course I'm not.

Now we'll start round 1!

Count Zest, if you will!
[17:29] Zest
I'll start with Sleep

[17:32] Sistine
Rumia, don't push yourself too hard!

Grant rest to the body, peace to the

Last year's champion, Jaill-kun,
returns this year, after all.
[17:50] Announcer
Personally, my attention's on the lone woman,
Rumia-chan of Class 2. How about you, Count?
[17:55] Zest
Indeed.
[17:56] Zest
How much can such a lovely girl endure?

How far can I corrupt her

I don't need boys! If anyone's

Try to conceal your desires a bit, Count!
[18:18] Announcer
Well, getting back to business,

next up is Charm Mind!

But thanks to that, the unqualified

[18:35] Announcer
And who would have guessed?
The remaining two are
[18:37] ---
last year's champion, Jaill-kun,
and Rumia-chan for a one-on-one!
[18:41] Gibul
She was this strong?
[18:44] Glenn
Mind Up is a spell to boost
one's mental fortitude.
[18:47] Glenn
The stronger one's nerves are,
the more effective it is.
[18:50] Glenn
Her mindset, or I guess you could say her
mind itself, isn't like a regular person's.
[18:54] Glenn
It's like she's always prepared to die.
[18:57] Glenn
Still, I thought this'd be an easy win for
Rumia, but Jaill's something else, too.
[19:03] Zest
Well, then, it's about time
to move on to Mind Break.
[19:07] Announcer
We're finally here!
[19:09] Announcer
This is one of the most
advanced, dangerous spells,
[19:12] ---
which breaks the target's mind
and renders them unconscious!
[19:14] Zest
Here I go!
[19:16] Zest
Listen to the warble of wicked birds,
[19:17] ---
thy will carried to the heavens,
thy mind rendered blank!
[19:21] Zest
Hmm? Are you both all right?
[19:24] Jaill
This is nothing.
[19:25] Rumia
I'm fine, too.
[19:27] Announcer
Impressive! They both withstood it!

[19:30] Jaill
Not bad for a woman.

This might be pretty rough.
[19:35] Jaill
Why don't you drop out?
[19:36] Rumia
Thanks for worrying about me.
[19:39] Rumia
But no.
[19:40] Rumia
I can't afford to lose, either.
[19:43] Rumia
Sensei said we'd win together!
[19:46] Rumia
We all fight for one, and one for all.
[19:50] Jaill
That dumb instructor
everyone's talking about?
[19:52] Jaill
Ridiculous.

It's really fun.
[19:56] Rumia
So I need to do my best, too!
[20:01] Jaill
That so?

Then, to settle this match,
I'll just increase the force.

Are you both mentally prepared?

Oh! And Rumia takes to her knees at last!
[20:18] Zest
Will you give up?
[20:20] Rumia
No, I'm fine. I can go—

[20:24] Glenn
Class 2 will drop out here.

Sensei?
[20:27] Rumia
It's all right. I can keep...
[20:30] Glenn
You hung in there well.
[20:31] Rumia
No, Sensei!
[20:33] Glenn
No, that's enough.
[20:34] Sistine
Rumia, you don't have to put
up with it if it's painful.
[20:38] Glenn
You did great, but you were up
against the wrong opponent.
[20:41] Glenn
I never anticipated someone like him.
[20:44] Glenn
I'm really sorry.
[20:45] Rumia
No, I had fun.
[20:47] Rumia
I felt like I was able to
fight for everyone, too.

Oh, yeah?

Now then, since you've earned a
victory in mental defense, Jaill-kun,

how about a word?
[21:00] Zest
Jaill-kun's unconscious on his feet!
[21:04] Announcer
Huh? Meaning?
[21:06] Zest
It's Rumia-kun's victory.

Even if she withdrew, she cleared the
previous Mind Break right beforehand.

What a surprise! The winner
is Rumia-chan of Class 2!

I've practiced the Self Illusion

So you want to swap with someone else.

So long as you all enjoy yourselves

[04:04] Lynn
B-But...
[04:06] Glenn
Oh, well. I'll give you a bit of a special lecture.
[04:09] Glenn
First of all, let's review Self Illusion.
What are the characteristics of the spell?
[04:13] Lynn
Huh? Uh...
[04:14] Lynn
It's black magic that lets you
cloak yourself in an illusion.
[04:17] Glenn
Precisely.
[04:18] Glenn
It's not some grandiose spell that reshapes
your physical body to transform.
[04:23] Glenn
Behold my phantasmagoria, enacted by myself.
[04:27] Glenn
I shan't sing with another's voice.
[04:34] Glenn
As you can see, it's just a shell, so you can
transform into whatever you imagine.
[04:38] Lynn
Incredible!
[04:39] Glenn
In short, the reason Self Illusion
isn't working for you is because
[04:43] ---
the image in your mind is still vague.
[04:45] Glenn
What are you trying to transform into?
[04:47] Lynn
Uh, the Angel of Time, La Tilika-sama.
[04:51] Glenn
Then go borrow a book about icons.
[04:53] Glenn
If you restrengthen your
vision, it'll work for sure.
[04:57] Glenn
You're more talented than you think.
[04:59] Glenn
Besides, even if you do fail,
[05:02] ---
I'll stop anyone who tries to
blame you with my iron fist.
[05:06] Glenn
So relax and just do it!
[05:09] Glenn
What's so funny?
[05:10] Lynn
It's just... Hearing "Rumia" say such manly things...
[05:14] Lynn
All right, Sensei. I'll give it a shot!

Oh, I'm pretty clumsy, so I'm
not very good at cooking.
[07:33] Glenn
Then who did?
[07:35] Rumia
That's a secret...
[07:36] Rumia
At the request of the one who made it.
[07:38] Rumia
All I can say is that she got up early and
made this lunch for a certain man,
[07:43] Rumia
but they fought, so she lost
her chance to give it to him.
[07:46] Rumia
So she was about to throw it away,
but I didn't want it to go to waste.
[07:50] Glenn
Jeez, so I'm just replacing a trash can?
[07:54] Glenn
My condolences to that girl,
but that man is real scum.
[07:58] Glenn
He should just accept it
if a girl made it for him.
[08:02] Glenn
Jeez, what a bastard.
[08:09] Glenn
Whew, I'm stuffed.
[08:12] Glenn
Thanks for the food. It was amazingly good.
[08:14] Rumia
Oh, good! I'm sure the girl
who made it will be happy.

Rumia Tingel.
[10:15] Rumia
With all due respect, Your Majesty seems
[10:18] ---
to have confused me for the late
Princess Ermiana El Kel Alzano.
[10:29] Alicia
Yes, you're right.
[10:32] Alicia
Ermiana...
[10:33] Alicia
That girl passed away from
an epidemic three years ago.
[10:37] Alicia
My apologies for putting you through
such unpleasantness, Rumia-san.
[10:42] Rumia
No apology is necessary.
[10:43] Rumia
Now, if you'll excuse me.
[10:49] Alicia
I figured she wouldn't accept me.
[10:52] Alicia
She wouldn't see me as her mother now.
[10:57] Alicia
I'll be going back now, Glenn.
[10:59] Glenn
Huh? Oh, sure.
[11:04] Alicia
Please, take care of her.
[11:06] Glenn
Certainly.
[11:17] Zelos
Your Majesty!
[11:20] Alicia
My, Zelos.
[11:22] Alicia
You found me?
[11:25] Zelos
Please forgive my rudeness, Your Majesty.
[11:28] Zelos
I'll have to secure your person for a while.
[11:34] Albert
I can't believe this.
[11:36] Albert
The Imperial Guard is restraining Her Majesty.
[11:39] Albert
To think they'd actually take action.
[11:42] Albert
Imperial Guard General Commander, Zelos.
[11:44] Albert
He's a veteran said to have fought on par
[11:47] ---
with the great swordsman Johannes
during the Divine War 40 years ago.
[11:51] Albert
He shouldn't be the type of man to act rashly.
[11:58] Albert
Where do you think you're going?
[12:00] Re=L
I'll kill all our enemies.
[12:02] Albert
The Imperial Guard are the soldiers
most loyal to Her Majesty.
[12:06] Albert
I find it hard to believe
they'd harm the queen.
[12:09] Albert
They must be plotting something else.
[12:12] Re=L
I've devised a strategy.
[12:13] Re=L
I'll charge the enemy from the front.
[12:16] Re=L
You follow me and charge
from the front after I do.
[12:26] Announcer
Class 2's Teresa-chan clears 50 kilograms!
[12:35] Glenn
The former princess, wiped from existence
because of her special ability, huh?
[12:42] Sistine
Sensei...
[12:45] Sistine
What is it, white cat?!
Gonna blast me away again?
[12:47] Sistine
I'm not!
[12:48] Sistine
Um, Rumia hasn't come back yet...
[12:52] Sistine
Have you heard anything from her?
[12:55] Glenn
White cat, lend me your ear.
[12:57] Sistine
Wh-What is it?
[13:00] Sistine
Huh?
[13:02] Glenn
Well, anyone would want some time
alone after going through that, right?
[13:07] Glenn
Guess I'll go look for her.
[13:09] Glenn
Having fun with her friends
should help distract her, too.
[13:13] Glenn
Take care of the class for me.
[13:15] Sistine
R-Right.
[13:16] Sistine
Please take care of Rumia.
[13:18] Glenn
Leave it to me.
[13:19] Glenn
I'm full enough now that I could
search for her all day.
[13:23] Sistine
Huh?
[13:24] Glenn
The great angel Rumia-sama
brought me some sandwiches.
[13:28] Glenn
Ones someone else made that were
headed for the trash, apparently, but...
[13:33] Sistine
R-Really? And you ate them?
[13:36] Sistine
Good work being a pitiful trash disposal.
[13:38] Glenn
They were super good, though.
[13:42] Glenn
They were nothing fancy,
but they were made with care,
[13:45] ---
and they tasted really good.
[13:47] Glenn
And hey, don't call them trash.
[13:49] Glenn
That's rude to the person who made them.
[13:51] Glenn
I thought you were nice to everyone but me?
[13:54] Sistine
I-I know!
[13:56] Sistine
Jeez! Just hurry up and go!
[14:13] Glenn
What're you looking at?
[14:15] Rumia
Sensei...
[14:19] Rumia
There's nothing inside this locket.
[14:22] Rumia
I feel like there was once a portrait
of someone precious inside it, but...
[14:28] Rumia
It's strange, isn't it?
[14:30] Rumia
For me to keep this on my person at all times.
[14:33] Glenn
Not really.
[14:34] Glenn
Are you sure it's not still packed
full of something precious?
[14:39] Rumia
Sensei... You know, don't you?
[14:42] Rumia
That Her Majesty and I...
[14:44] Glenn
Yeah.
[14:45] Rumia
What do you think I should've done earlier?
[14:50] Rumia
I know why Her Majesty abandoned me.
[14:54] Rumia
I'm the devil incarnate...
A cursed, taboo being.
[14:58] Rumia
One of the gifted.
[14:59] Rumia
And since I was born with
this special ability,
[15:02] Rumia
I could become a bomb to
damage the royal family's status.
[15:07] Rumia
So I do think disposing of me was
necessary for this country's future.
[15:15] Rumia
But still, part of me can't forgive
Her Majesty for doing that.
[15:20] Rumia
I think I'm mad at her.
[15:22] Glenn
Logic doesn't apply in cases
like that, after all.
[15:25] Rumia
Yet I also want to call her "Mother" one more
time, and I want to hug her again, too.
[15:32] Rumia
But Sisti's mother and father
took me in, and it feels like
[15:38] ---
I'd be betraying them if I did that.
[15:41] Rumia
So what should I have done?
[15:45] Glenn
This is just my philosophy.
[15:47] Glenn
Humans are creatures that always get hurt
[15:49] ---
and feel regret whenever they
make a choice on something.
[15:53] Rumia
Huh?
[15:54] Glenn
It's easy to say "choose so that you'll
have no regrets," but that's impossible.
[16:00] Glenn
No matter how hard you've
agonized over your path,
[16:02] ---
you'll always regret
something about it later.
[16:05] Glenn
That's just how we humans are made.
[16:11] Glenn
Which is why I think our true
feelings are important.
[16:14] Rumia
True feelings?
[16:15] Glenn
Yeah.
[16:16] Glenn
If you choose your path
based on your true feelings,
[16:19] ---
it'll hurt just a little less when
you feel the same regret, right?
[16:24] Glenn
Rumia,
[16:25] Glenn
what is it that you want to do?
[16:28] Rumia
I don't understand my own feelings on this.
[16:33] Glenn
Long ago, I was a mage serving
in the Imperial Army.
[16:38] Glenn
Due to the nature of my work,
I visited the court pretty often.
[16:42] Glenn
And when I did, I saw the person
with the most power there
[16:45] ---
wearing the exact same locket as yours.
[16:49] Glann
She probably couldn't bring herself to
throw away the one that matched yours.
[16:52] Glann
Which means your answer's been
there for a long time, hasn't it?
[16:55] Glann
It doesn't matter if it's
just pent-up resentment.
[16:58] Glann
Why don't you start by confronting her
[17:00] ---
with how you really feel,
instead of running away from it?
[17:03] Rumia
Sensei...
[17:05] Glann
Well, I'm not exactly one to talk,
after all the running I've done.
[17:10] Rumia
I'm scared, though.
[17:13] Rumia
The thought of her turning
those cold eyes on me again...
[17:16] Rumia
So, um...
[17:21] Rumia
Could you come with me, Sensei?
[17:26] Glenn
Sheesh... All right. I'll go with you.
[17:29] Rumia
Thank you very much!
[17:34] Glenn
The Imperial Guard?
[17:40] Soldier
Rumia Tingel, correct?
[17:42] Rumia
Huh? Y-Yes.
[17:46] Soldier
With all due pardon,
[17:47] ---
you're charged with conspiracy to
assassinate Her Majesty, Queen Alicia VII.
[17:51] Soldier
There's no room for bargaining.
[17:52] Soldier
You're to be executed for
treason and insulting royalty!
[17:56] Rumi
M-Me? Assassinate Her Majesty?
[18:00] Glenn
That's one bad joke. Show us your proof.
[18:02] Soldier
I'm not obligated to disclose
that to an outsider.
[18:05] Glenn
You're going to execute her
without a trial or a warrant?
[18:07] Soldier
This is Her Majesty's direct order.
[18:11] Glenn
Cut the crap!
[18:12] Soldier
Hand over that woman.
[18:13] Soldier
If you continue to defend her,
you'll be executed for treason, too.
[18:18] Rumia
I'll do as you ask.
[18:21] Glenn
Rumia?!
[18:22] Rumia
I'll pay for the sin of turning
against Her Majesty with my life.
[18:28] Rumia
So please spare Sensei.
[18:30] Glenn
You idiot! What are you sayi—
[18:33] Rumia
Sensei!
[18:34] Soldier
Come!
[18:44] Soldier
Close your eyes, and don't move.
[18:46] Soldier
If I miss your vitals,
you'll only prolong your suffering.
[18:50] Rumia
Yes.
[18:52] Rumia
I always thought this day
would come eventually.
[18:55] Rumia
That one day, that woman
would decide to end me.
[19:02] Rumia
Oh, I see.
[19:05] Rumia
She came to see me since it's the last time.
[19:07] Rumia
I was supposed to die back then,
but I've lived for over three years.
[19:11] Rumia
I managed to create many wonderful memories.
[19:13] ---
You can do it!
[19:17] Rumia
So now...
[19:19] Glenn
Keep those eyes closed.
[19:21] Rumia
Huh?
[19:25] Soldier
M-My eyes!
[19:33] Glenn
Jeez, they hit me damn hard.
[19:35] Rumia
Sensei!
[19:36] Rumia
What did you...
[19:37] Glenn
Huh? The spell, Flash Light.
[19:39] Glenn
It only blinded them.
[19:40] Rumia
Sensei! Why would you save me?!
[19:43] Glenn
The white cat would yell
at me if I abandoned you.
[19:45] Rumia
This is no time to be joking around!
[19:47] Rumia
You'll be convicted, too!
[19:49] Glenn
Because I promised.
[19:51] Rumia
Huh?
[19:52] Glenn
Well, don't you worry.
[19:54] Glenn
Her Majesty would never eliminate
you without even a trial.
[19:59] Glenn
There has to be something else
behind this execution order.
[20:02] Glenn
If we can just meet with Her Majesty...
[20:04] Soldier
Over there!
[20:05] Soldier
You traitors!
[20:07] Rumia
Wh-What are we going to do, Sensei?!
[20:09] Glenn
What do we do?
[20:11] Glenn
Rule of time, balance of the scales,
let the plate of order tip portside.
[20:19] Soldier
After them!
[20:20] Soldier
Don't let the rebels escape!
[20:21] Glenn
Jeez...
[20:22] Glenn
Why do troubles keep coming
one after another?
[20:25] Glenn
This is why I didn't want to work.
[20:27] Rumia
Sensei...
[20:29] Glenn
The problem is how to slip past the
Imperial Guard and meet Her Majesty.
[20:34] Glenn
Wait...
[20:35] Glenn
Now that I think about it, we don't
need to meet with her directly, do we?
[20:47] Celica
Glenn?
[20:48] Glenn
Oh, Celica!
[20:49] Glenn
You're with Her Majesty, right?
[20:51] Glenn
I have to favor to ask. See...
[20:52] Celica
I can't do anything.
[20:55] Glenn
Wait, I haven't said anything!
[20:57] Celica
Sorry, Glenn. I can't say anything.
[21:00] Celica
I'll say it once more.
[21:02] Celica
I can't do anything. I can't say anything.
[21:05] Glenn
You're not fooling around, are you?
[21:08] Celica
No.
[21:09] Glenn
And our situation?
[21:10] Celica
I have a rough idea.
[21:12] Glenn
Why are the Imperial Guards
going out of control?
[21:15] Glenn
Why has Her Majesty ordered
the execution of Rumia?
[21:19] Glenn
You can't say, can you?
[21:20] Celica
Glenn, you're the only one.
[21:22] Glenn
What?
[21:23] Celica
You're the only one who can
break up this situation.
[21:26] Celica
Yes, "only you."
[21:29] Celica
Think hard about the meaning of that.
[21:30] Celica
And find some way to come before the queen.
[21:33] Glenn
H-Hey!
[21:35] Glenn
Damn it!
[21:35] Rumia
Sensei...
[21:37] Glenn
Come before the queen, huh?
[21:40] Glenn
The queen's protected by well-trained guards.
[21:42] Glenn
Plus, there's her captain, Zelos.
[21:45] Glenn
Damn, this is clearly more than I can handle.
[21:49] Glenn
How do I...
[22:01] Glenn
Y-You!

Imperial Court Mage Corps Special Forces

[03:43] Glenn
I'd say you can rest easy since

[03:48] Re=L
Albert, casting military-grade

[03:52] Glenn
The same goes for you, too!
[03:55] Albert
This is no time to play around.
[03:57] Glenn
Huh?
[03:58] Albert
The Imperial Guards have placed
Her Majesty under watch,
[04:01] Albert
and it looks like they're operating on their
own to eliminate the former princess.
[04:06] Glenn
And Celica?
[04:07] Albert
She's in the VIP seats, but doesn't
seem to be planning any action.
[04:11] Glenn
That's odd.

She could easily handle a guard or two.
[04:16] Glenn

I've come up with a plan to

[04:31] Glenn
Oh? Let's hear it.

Well, I'm glad I don't have to fight you guys.

Please, lend us your help.
[05:02] Albert
Where should we begin?
[05:04] Glenn
Celica said, "Find some way
to come before the Queen."
[05:08] Glenn
That must be our way out of this mess.
[05:11] Albert

Former Special Forces Executioner #21,
The World, Celica Arfonia,

get worse at this rate.

I'm Albert, an old friend of Glenn Radars.
[06:04] Albert
This is Re=L.
[06:06] Albert
I heard he started teaching at this
school, so I came to watch,

[09:04] Announcer
She's beaten Seta!
[09:06] Announcer
Class 2 has found their momentum again!
[09:11] Announcer
In the next event, Granzia,
[09:12] Announcer
they made a huge comeback
with a conditional spell!
[09:14] Announcer
Their fantastic teamwork
earns them a victory!
[09:18] Guy
Sensei, we did it!
[09:19] Announcer
And now Class 2 has finally
caught up to Class 1!
[09:23] Announcer
Who will win the magic competition this year?
[09:27] Announcer
The outcome will be determined by
the final event, the magic duels!
[09:35] Zelos
You haven't captured them yet?
[09:36] Soldier
W-Well, that magic instructor
is aiding her escape.
[09:41] Zelos
What's taking you so long against one mage?
[09:44] Zelos
Find the princess at once,
[09:47] Zelos
and kill her.
[09:51] Announcer
We're in the middle bouts of the duels,
and neither is giving an inch!
[09:55] Announcer
However, the earth elemental
[09:57] ---
summoned by Gibul has captured Kreiss!
[10:01] Kreiss
I-I give!
[10:02] Announcer
And Kreiss has given up!
[10:05] Announcer
Second to bat for Class 2, Gibul,
[10:07] ---
recovers from Kash-kun's defeat and
returns the match score to 1-1!
[10:11] Kash
Y-You saved us out there, Gibul!
[10:13] Gibul
Hmph. It was the natural outcome.
[10:16] Announcer
The match is finally down to the final bout!
[10:18] Announcer
We have Heinkel from Class 1,
and Sistine from Class 2.
[10:22] Announcer
It's a face-off between these two,
each representing their grade!
[10:25] Sistine
It's finally my turn.
[10:26] Gibul
I got them fired up for you.
[10:28] Gibul
I hope you don't let that go to waste.
[10:30] Sistine
Aren't you supposed to say,
"The rest is up to you"?
[10:33] Albert
"If you pull off a victory,
[10:35] ---
I'll let you eat and drink as much you want!"
[10:38] Albert
says Glenn.
[10:41] Albert
We're counting on you.
[10:43] Sistine
You can count on us!
[10:51] Announcer
Sistine falters under Heinkel's Fire Wall!
[10:56] Hurley
Finish her, Heinkel!
[10:57] Heinkel
Yes, sir.
[10:59] Wendy
Hang in there, Sistine!
[11:01] Kash
Glenn-sensei's gonna treat
us if you win, you know!
[11:05] (Flashback) Albert
Win, please.
[11:07] (Flashback) Re=L
Please, trust us.
[11:10] Sistine
I know, for crying out loud!
[11:15] Sistine
Keep them at bay, wall of tempest,
[11:19] ---
and grant peace to those below!
[11:24] Heinkel
I'm bound by wind? What is this spell?!
[11:27] Sistine
Storm Wall!
[11:28] Heinkel
An altered spell?
[11:30] Heinkel
Thunder spri—
[11:31] Sistine
Too slow!
[11:32] Sistine
Pay heed, great wind!
[11:39] Announcer
I-It's over!
[11:41] Announcer
Sistine's Gale Blow sent Heinkel
right out of the ring!
[11:45] Announcer
The winners are Class 2!
[11:47] Announcer
Class 2 is victorious!
[11:48] ---
Yeah!
[11:51] Class
We did it!
[11:59] Soldiers
That's as far as you go.
[12:03] Announcer
And now for the award ceremony.
[12:06] Announcer
The winner, second-year Class 2,
[12:09] ---
will receive a medal from
Her Majesty the Queen, Alicia VII.
[12:13] Announcer
Here are the winners, second-year Class 2!
[12:17] Announcer
Huh?
[12:19] Alicia
Albert and Re=L?
[12:22] Celica
You made it.
[12:23] Alicia
Huh?
[12:24] Albert
The representative instructor of the
class winning the magic competition
[12:29] ---
will earn the honor of receiving a medal
directly from Her Majesty herself.
[12:34] Glenn
I've been waiting for this moment.
[12:40] Wendy
Glenn-sensei and Rumia?!
[12:43] Zelos
Impossible! You two are
supposed to be on the run!
[12:47] Glenn
We traded places with some
friends along the way.
[12:50] Glenn
Using Self Illusion.
[12:53] Sistine
I knew it! You were Rumia!
[12:56] Zelos
Get them!
[12:57] Celica
Back off.
[12:59] Sistine
That's...
[13:01] Glenn
Oh? An isolation barrier?
[13:05] Glenn
How considerate, Celica.
[13:06] Zelos
Celica-dono...
[13:08] Glenn
Now then, this might be
forward of me, Your Majesty,
[13:10] ---
but that man and your Imperial Guard
are unjustly using your name
[13:15] ---
to try and kill an innocent young girl.
[13:17] Zelos
Shut up, traitor!
[13:19] Glenn
But I've safely protected Rumia, and the
Imperial Guard is outside this barrier.
[13:24] Glenn
Your Majesty, please order them
to stop this senseless violence.
[13:29] Zelos
We cannot do that.
[13:32] Glenn
What?
[13:33] Zelos
When all this is over, I will take
responsibility and kill myself.
[13:37] Zelos
But Her Majesty...
[13:39] Zelos
Her Majesty, the one bearing
this nation on her shoulders,
[13:41] Zelos
must be protected at all costs!
[13:44] Zelos
And Her Majesty herself
[13:46] ---
must sacrifice many things
to preserve her own life!
[13:51] Zelos
There is no time.
[13:53] Zelos
Your Majesty, for the sake of the people,
please give us your decision.
[14:00] Alicia
This is a direct order.
[14:03] Alicia
Put that girl, Rumia Tingel, to the sword.
[14:09] Alicia
I cannot allow that girl to exist.
[14:13] Alicia
I wish she had never existed.
[14:14] Alicia
I never once loved her.
[14:18] Alicia
I will never cease to regret
that I gave birth to her.
[14:23] Glenn
H-Hold on a minute, Your Majesty!
Why would you tell such lies?
[14:27] Rumia
Is that...
[14:29] ---
how you truly feel, then?
[14:34] Alicia
Yes.
[14:38] Zelos
My gratitude for your quick
judgment, Your Majesty.
[14:43] Glenn
Celica, what's going on?!
[14:46] Glenn
Damn it! How did this happen?
[14:49] Glenn
Wasn't everything supposed to be fixed
once we came to see Her Majesty?
[14:53] (Flashback) Alicia
I figured she wouldn't accept me.
[14:56] (Flashback) Alicia
She wouldn't see me as her mother now.
[15:05] Glenn
But why would she tell such a lie right now?
[15:08] Glenn
If she really wanted to kill Rumia,
she would only need to say, "Kill her."
[15:17] Glenn
So there's a reason why
she can't speak the truth?
[15:20] Celica
I can't do anything. I can't say anything.
[15:24] Celica
You're the only one who can
break up this situation.
[15:27] Glenn
Could it be...
[15:30] Glenn
Your Majesty, that's a very pretty necklace.
[15:37] Alicia
Isn't it?
[15:39] Alicia
It's my favorite.
[15:41] Glenn
Your favorite, huh?
[15:44] Glenn
But doesn't it tire your shoulders?
[15:47] Glenn
Shouldn't you take it off?
[15:49] Alicia
Certainly not.
[15:50] Alicia
I don't want to remove it.
[15:53] Glenn
I see.
[15:55] Zelos
What are you up to, mage?
[15:58] Glenn
Rumia,
[16:00] ---
your mother really does love you.
[16:06] Zelos
Don't move!
[16:10] Rumia
S-Sensei!
[16:13] ---
Die!
[16:15] Rumia
No!
[16:24] Zelos
Your Majesty, what are you...
[16:38] Glenn
So it really was a conditional
cursed necklace.
[16:43] Glenn
If you remove it, the wearer dies.
[16:45] Glenn
If a set time passes, they die.
[16:48] Glenn
If they reveal how to
undo the curse, they die.
[16:51] Glenn
It's a classic ploy that's
been worn out from overuse.
[16:54] Glenn
The only way to dispel it
[16:57] ---
was to kill Rumia, wasn't it?
[17:02] Celica
I had faith in you, Glenn.
[17:04] Glenn
I nearly got myself killed! Jeez...
[17:08] Zelos
Why didn't the curse activate?
[17:14] Zelos
The Fool Arcana?
[17:16] Zelos
What?! The complete sealing of
magic within a specified area?
[17:21] Zelos
Were you...
[17:24] Glenn
Now, then, Your Majesty,
you should cut back on the lies.
[17:27] Rumia
Huh? Lies?
[17:30] Glenn
Yeah. If she'd slipped up when
speaking, it would've activated.
[17:34] Glenn
It was all a kind of riddle to make me
realize there was a cursed item involved.
[17:40] Alicia
I'm sorry, Ermiana!
[17:43] Alicia
I hurt you again!
[17:46] Rumia
Your Majesty?
[17:48] Alicia
I'm so glad...
[17:49] Alicia
I'm so glad you're safe.
[17:55] Rumia
Mom!
[18:06] Soldier
Her Majesty is safe!
[18:17] Albert
We were assigned two missions.
[18:21] Albert
One was observing the Imperial Guard,
which has shown extremist tendencies lately.
[18:26] Albert
The other was to investigate the
backgrounds of those close to Her Majesty.
[18:30] Albert
Heretic mage of the Researchers
of Divine Wisdom, Eleanor Chalet,
[18:35] Albert
you will tell us why you tried
to kill the former princess.
[18:40] Eleanor
I see the Empire's not
entirely full of blockheads.
[18:45] Eleanor
"Akashic Records."
[18:49] Eleanor
Let's just say that's what the princess is for.
[18:52] Re=L
You won't escape!
[19:02] Glenn
Her Majesty's chief handmaiden?
[19:05] Albert
It just means the Researchers of
Divine Wisdom have infiltrated
[19:08] ---
that far into the core of the Empire already.
[19:10] Glenn
So there's bound to be others still?
[19:13] Albert
I'll have to return and plan
countermeasures at once.
[19:16] Albert
You be careful, too.
[19:19] Glenn
Thanks for everything, Albert, Re=L.
[19:23] Re=L
Glenn, next time, we'll settle things.
[19:25] Glenn
Sure.
[19:27] Glenn
Wait, no way!
[19:30] Rumia
Sensei!
[19:34] Glenn
How'd it go?
[19:40] Celica
You're going already?
[19:41] Alicia
Yes. I feel like she confronted
me with all of her feelings.
[19:46] Alicia
It was all thanks to you, Celica.
[19:49] Alicia
Please continue looking after her so she
can always enjoy health and happiness.
[19:55] Celica
Yeah. Have faith in Glenn.
[19:58] Rumia
I feel much better after talking
things over with my mom.
[20:02] Rumia
It was all thanks to you, Sensei.
[20:04] Glenn
I didn't do a thing.
[20:08] Rumia
Sensei, how did you know?
[20:11] Rumia
That Mom was lying?
[20:16] Glenn
Three years ago, when you were kidnapped,
[20:19] ---
Her Majesty asked for my help.
[20:22] (Flashback) Alicia
Please, Glenn.
[20:24] (Flashback) Alicia
I know I'm in no position to ask this of anyone,
[20:28] (Flashback) Alicia
but still, please save her! Save Ermiana!
[20:34] Glenn
I saw her tears myself.
[20:37] Rumia
I see.
[20:40] Rumia
So that's why you remembered our
promise from three years ago.
[20:45] (Flashback) Glenn
There are still enemies left.
[20:47] (Flashback) Glenn
You'll never get through
this if you keep that up,
[20:50] (Flashback) Glenn
but if you'll stop crying, then...
[20:55] Rumia
"I will definitely be on your side.
[20:59] ---
I promise."
[21:01] Rumia
To think those words still held true.
[21:04] Glenn
A promise is a promise, after all.
[21:07] Rumia
I guess I've been saved again.
[21:10] Rumia
By both you and Mom.
[21:13] Glenn
They worked hard, too.
[21:16] Glenn
I earned the reward
and three months' salary.
[21:20] Glenn
I suppose I can reward them a little.
[21:23] Class
Sensei! We've been waiting for you!
[21:27] Sisti
You're awfully late, you know!
[21:32] Rumia
What's going on, Sisti?!
[21:34] Wendy
She ate too much of the
brandy cake for dessert!
[21:38] Sisti
Sensei, you helped Rumia again, didn't you?
[21:43] Sisti
I'm impressed.
[21:46] Glenn
Stop it, white cat!
[21:48] Glenn
Your face is too close!
[21:52] Glenn
The reward money and three months'
salary are gone, just like that?!
[21:59] Glenn
All of you, form a line!
[22:02] Glenn
I've got an Extinction Ray for all of you!
[22:05] Class
Yay!

[23:44] Sistine
The Researchers of Divine Wisdom are
truly a terrifying organization!
[23:47] Rumia
What do you think they're planning?
[23:51] Rumia
I'm not sure why, but I feel like
[23:53] ---
she knows something about the
Researchers of Divine Wisdom!
[23:55] Sistine
I'm not sure why, but I think so, too.
[23:57] Rumia
I'll ask her!
[23:57] Sisti
Rumia, it's dangerous!
[23:59] Rumia
What kind of group is the
Researchers of Divine Wisdom?
[24:02] Eleanor
You're asking that?
[24:03] Both
Gulp!
[24:04] Eleanor
The Researchers of Divine Wisdom is...
[24:06] Eleanor
a group where we have fun eating snacks
and practicing magic together!
[24:10] Sisti
Huh?
[24:10] Rumia
Wow!
[24:11] Eleanor
We welcome anyone who loves magic!
[24:13] Rumia
How much to join?
[24:13] Eleanor
3,000 ilpoky!
[24:14] Rumia
I'll join!
[24:15] Glenn
Me, too! Me, too!
[24:16] Sisti
Absolutely not!
[24:19] Rumia
I'll have to break my piggy
bank when I get back.

No more, Sensei.
[00:07] Sisti
I can't go on.
[00:09] Glenn
Well, you are a sheltered young lady.
[00:11] Glenn
Maybe that's the best you
can do with no practice.
[00:14] Sisti
Can you really get better at this?
[00:17] Glenn
Sure. You've gotten a lot better
than when you first started.
[00:24] Glenn
Don't let yourself get too cold.
[00:26] Glenn
You are a girl, after all.
[00:29] Sisti
It smells like Sensei.
[00:35] Sisti
By the way, Sensei, why are we...
[00:39] Sisti
practicing hand-to-hand combat?!
[00:42] Glen
I figured it was about time
you brought that up!
SIGN Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor
SIGN The Sea of Falling Stars
[02:26] Sisti
You mentioned special training,
so I was expecting to learn
[02:29] ---
some new spells, or how to
raise one's magic power.
[02:32] Glenn
By practicing hand-to-hand combat,
[02:34] ---
you hone your sense of when to
attack and defend in magic duels.
[02:39] Sisti
It feels like you're just venting your
frustration at my constant nagging.
[02:43] Glenn
Of course, that's part of it, too.
[02:44] Sisti
It is?!
[02:45] Glenn
Well, for the time being,
we'll focus on hand-to-hand combat,
[02:48] ---
and once you're capable enough there,
I'll teach you military magic.
[02:53] Sisti
Military magic?
[02:55] Glenn
Scared?
[02:56] Glenn
But if you really want to protect Rumia
when it comes to that, you'll need power.
[03:01] Glenn
Don't worry.
[03:03] Glenn
If military magic scares you, I can
have faith that you'll use it correctly,
[03:08] ---
without being swayed by magic's dark side.
[03:15] Glenn
Well, it's obviously best if it never
comes to that, but you never know.
[03:21] Sisti
Please continue to give me your
guidance and encouragement!
[03:36] Rumia
Sensei! Good morning!
[03:38] Glenn
Good morning.
[03:39] Rumia
Sensei, you look terrible.
[03:41] Rumia
Did you not get enough sleep?
[03:43] Sisti
You're worried about Rumia,
[03:44] ---
so you've been waiting for
her every day, right, Sensei?
[03:47] Glenn
That's not it.
[03:49] Rumia
You don't have to worry about me.
You can take it easy.
[03:52] Glenn
I just always happen to be walking on
the same street at the same time.
[04:04] Re=L
I've been wanting to see you, Glenn.

R-Re...
[04:08] G
What the hell are you doing?!
[04:10] G
You trying to kill me?!
[04:12] Re=L
Greeting you?
[04:13] Both
Huh?
[04:15] Glenn
How is this a greeting?!
[04:17] Re=L
But Albert said this is what I should do
when reuniting with a comrade in arms.
[04:20] Glenn
He's behind this?!
[04:22] Glenn
Does he hate me that much, damn it?!
[04:25] Sisti
That's the girl from the magic competition.
[04:28] Rumia
Re=L, right?
[04:29] Rumia
And that outfit is...
[04:31] Glenn
Wait, you mean...
[04:32] Glenn
You're the transfer student?
[04:35] Sisti
What do you mean?
[04:37] Glenn
Apparently, the imperial government
decided to assign a formal guard to Rumia.
[04:41] Glenn
So they were going to dispatch one of their
mages undercover as a transfer student.
[04:45] Glenn
But I never expected her, of all people...
[04:47] Rumia
You came here just for me? That's reassuring.
[04:51] Rumia
I hope we'll get along well.
[04:53] Re=L
Yeah, leave it to me.
[04:55] Re=L
I'll protect Glenn.
[04:57] Both
Huh?
[04:57] Glenn
You're protecting Rumia, not me!
[05:00] Glenn
The blonde, cute, super cute Rumia-chan!
[05:03] Glenn
Okay?!
[05:04] Re=L
I don't get it, but I'd rather
protect Glenn than Rumia.
[05:08] Glenn
Quit spewing nonsense!
[05:11] Re=L
Ow. Stop it.
[05:12] Glenn
Just to be clear, you can't expose
your identity or your mission!
[05:16] Glenn
Absolutely not!
[05:17] Glenn
Absolutely not, you hear?!
[05:18] Sisti
Will we be...
[05:20] Rumia

[05:26] Glenn
Uh, starting today you have
a new classmate, Re=L Rayford.
[05:31] Glenn
So, yeah, be nice to her.
[05:34] Glenn
I'll have her introduce herself.
[05:36] Glenn
Go on.

To learn magic at this school?
[06:03] Student
She's an odd girl.
[06:05] Student
Well, she's cute, though.
[06:07] Glenn
Anyway, treat her well, okay?
[06:09] Wendy
May I ask one question?
[06:12] Wendy
You said you're from Iteria. Did you
come here without your family?
[06:17] Re=L
I had an older brother, but...
[06:20] Glenn
Oh, sorry.
[06:21] Glenn
Please avoid questions about her family.
[06:24] Glenn
She has no relatives right now.
[06:26] Wendy
I'm so sorry! I didn't know.
[06:31] Kash
Hey!
[06:32] Kash
It seems like you two know each other,
so what's your relationship?

My relation to Glenn?
[06:38] Glenn
Oh, about that...
[06:42] Re=L
Glenn is my everything.
[06:44] Re=L
I've decided to live my life for Glenn.

How bold!
[06:51] Men
Rejected already!
[06:53] Glenn
Whoa! What are you saying?!
[07:02] Sisti
Thunder sprites, shock!
[07:08] Sisti
Yes!
[07:09] Rumia
You've gotten a lot better lately.
[07:11] Glenn
Well done, white cat.
[07:13] Glenn
Landing all six shots at this
distance is just plain incredible.
[07:17] Sisti
I-It was natural!
[07:19] Glenn
Okay, now... You're up next, Re=L.
[07:33] Gibul
Now, let's see what she can do.
[07:35] Kash
She did say she's aiming
to join the Imperial Army.
[07:41] Re=L
Thunder sprites, pay heed,
and strike with your electric shock.
[07:48] Glenn
I've never really seen Re=L
use Shock Bolt before,
[07:52] ---
but I didn't think she'd be this bad...
[07:56] Sisti
Is she really in the Imperial Mage Corps?
[07:59] Rumia
Maybe she's nervous?
[08:03] Glenn
What's wrong?
[08:03] Glenn
You have one more left.
[08:05] Re=L
Do we have to use Shock Bolt for this?
[08:08] Glenn
It's not that you have to,
[08:09] ---
but it's the only spell students can use
that would hit from this distance.
[08:13] Re=L
So any spell is fine?
[08:15] Glenn
If it can achieve the goal.
[08:16] Re=L
Got it.
[08:17] Glenn
Military magic is off limits!
[08:20] Re=L
I beseech creation, grant unto
my hands a great blade.
[08:32] Glenn
H-Hey, Re=L! Hold on!
[08:46] Re=L
Six out of six.
[09:00] Glenn
She's totally seen as the
dangerous kid in the class now.
[09:05] Rumia
Hey, Re=L, what are you doing for lunch?
[09:08] Re=L
Lunch is unnecessary.
[09:09] Re=L
I can go for three days without eating.
[09:12] Rumia
But it must hinder your work
if you don't eat enough.
[09:17] Re=L
You have a point.
[09:18] Rumia
We're heading to the cafeteria now.
Would you like to join us?
[09:23] Re=L
Cafeteria?
[09:27] Rumia
This is it. What do you think?
[09:30] Re=L
There's a lot of people.
[09:33] Re=L
And good smells.
[09:34] Rumia
Come on, let's go place our order!
[09:40] Rumia
I'm having my usual. What about you, Re=L?
[09:47] Rumia
Want to get that?
[09:49] Rumia
Or would you rather have the
same thing I'm getting?
[09:54] Rumia
Looks like you prefer the strawberry tart.
[10:01] Rumia
Well? Do you like it?
[10:02] Re=L
Yeah.
[10:03] Rumia
I'm so glad. Sisti loves those, too.
[10:07] Re=L
You want some? I'll share.
[10:14] Sisti
I-It's all right. You can eat them
all yourself! I'm fine!
[10:19] Re=L
Really?
[10:20] Sisti
Y-Yeah.
[10:27] Sisti
Jeez, Re=L, you've got cream on your face.
[10:30] Sisti
Here, hold still.
[10:33] Sisti
There, all clean.
[10:36] Re=L
Thanks.
[10:39] Sisti
Try not to spill any.
[10:47] Wendy
When did you three get to be so close?
[10:50] Kash
Watching her like that,
[10:52] ---
it's hard to imagine her chucking
a huge sword and breaking a golem.
[10:57] Wendy
No one's gonna take them from you.
[11:02] Sisti
It's all right. You can take your time.
[11:10] Glenn
Leaving Rumia's protection up to Re=L...
[11:13] Glenn
What is the military thinking?
[11:16] Celica
I hear she's quite the oddball.
[11:18] Glenn
Yeah. I hope she uses this as a chance
to learn how to socialize better.
[11:23] Celica
Isn't it her teacher's job to teach her that?
[11:27] Glenn
Yeah.
[11:29] Glenn
I hope she manages to pick something
up on our upcoming field trip.
[11:34] Glenn
I don't know if it'll go that well, though.
[11:37] Celica
You're starting to resemble a teacher now.
[11:40] Glenn
Shut up!
[11:42] Glenn
Anyway, you're here looking things up again?
[11:46] Celica
Oh, yeah.
[11:54] Kash
I wish we could've gone to Canturley's
army mage research facility.
[11:58] Cecil
I'd have preferred someplace else, too.
[12:01] Rodde
Getting to go to the place you
want is all a matter of luck.
[12:04] Glenn
Rest assured. Without a doubt,
you boys are definitely in luck.
[12:10] Glenn
Just think!
[12:12] Glenn
Where's the alchemy research lab located?
[12:15] Kash
Cineria Island, a famous beach resort!
[12:18] Glenn
Yes!
[12:19] Glenn
Cineria Island is hot all year round,
[12:21] ---
and even now, it's warm enough
to swim in the ocean there.
[12:24] Ky
S-Swimming!
[12:27] Glenn
And all the girls in our
class are off the charts!
[12:35] Glenn
You get the rest, right?
[12:36] Glenn
So be quiet and follow me!
[12:39] Men
Yeah!
[12:44] Sisti
Boys are such idiots, and our
instructor is the worst of all.
[12:55] Man
Hey, young ladies! Since you're so cute,
how about some rare goods?
[12:59] Glenn
Could you please not peddle your
shady wares to my students?
[13:03] Glenn
Shoo, shoo.
[13:06] Man
"Shady" was uncalled for.
[13:08] Man
These are all rare articles from
the Alzano Imperial Family!
[13:12] Glenn
Yeah, yeah. Enough already.
[13:15] Glenn
If you're here, then Re=L's just a decoy?
[13:18] Albert
Yeah.
[13:20] Albert
I'm the real guard, keeping my distance.
[13:22] Glenn
Figures.
[13:23] Glenn
So what's your reason for going out
of your way to make contact with me?
[13:29] Albert
Be careful of Re=L.
[13:31] Albert
She's dangerous.
[13:32] Glenn
That's not a funny joke.
[13:34] Albert
You know it well. You and I both.
[13:38] Glenn
That's in the past.
[13:41] Albert
As naïve as ever, I see.
[13:43] Albert
I've warned you.
[13:59] Sisti
So this is Cineria Island.
[14:08] Rumia
Sensei, hang in there.
[14:09] Re=L
Glenn, you look strange.
[14:11] Sisti
Jeez, are you all right, Sensei?
[14:14] Sisti
You should've picked a different
place if you can't handle boats.
[14:17] Sisti
Like Canturley's army mage research lab.
[14:21] Glenn
Beautiful women in swimsuits
take priority over all else.
[14:26] Glenn
Isn't that a given?
[14:28] Glenn
Even if this place were in the middle
of a war, I'd have chosen it.
[14:32] Men
Sensei, we'll follow you forever!
[14:35] Sisti
Quit saying stupid things, and let's go.
[14:40] Rumia
You wanted to distance
us from military magic.
[14:44] Rumia
That's why you chose this place, right?
[14:45] Glenn
That's not it.
[14:47] Glenn
I just wanted to see all of you in swimsuits.
[14:53] Rumia
Yoohoo!
[14:55] Rumia
Sisti, Re=L, hurry over here!
[14:59] Sistine
I'm coming!
[15:02] Sistine
Want to swim with us, Re=L?
[15:04] Re=L
Yeah.
[15:09] Glenn
See, what did I tell you?
[15:11] ---
Just be quiet and follow me.
[15:13] Men
Sensei!
[15:14] Glenn
You're free until nightfall.
Go have as much fun as you want.
[15:17] Men
Yes!
[15:18] Men
Hooray!
[15:23] Glenn
You're as stiff as ever, huh?
[15:26] Gibul
It's none of your business.
[15:28] Gibul
We didn't come here to play around.
[15:31] Rumia
Sensei, how do I look?
[15:34] Glenn
Oh, it looks really good
on you! You're super cute!
[15:37] Rumia
Thank you, Sensei.
[15:40] Glenn
White cat, you've got some style, too.
[15:44] Glenn
Easy on the eyes!
[15:47] Sisti
Don't stare at me like that.
[15:55] Sisti
Jeez.
[15:59] Glenn
What's wrong?
[16:00] Re=L
Nothing.
[16:03] Glenn
I thought you all were playing over there?
[16:06] Sisti
They started talking about
playing beach volleyball.
[16:08] Rumia
Would you like to join us, too?
[16:10] Glenn
Beach volleyball, huh?
[16:12] Glenn
But I'll get sunburnt.

[03:18] Burks
Welcome, everyone from the
Alzano Imperial Magic Academy.
[03:23] Burks
I'm the director of this
white alchemy research lab,
[03:26] ---
Burks Blaumohn.
[03:28] Glenn
Hello.
[03:30] Glenn
Thank you for your cooperation
with our field research.
[03:41] Rumia
Let's just give her some space for now.
[03:44] Sisti
Yeah.
[03:47] Burks
White alchemy is a field that
combines alchemy and white magic.
[03:53] Burks
In this field, we deal
primarily with life itself.
[03:56] Burks
That's why it's necessary for us
to be located in a place like this,
[04:01] ---
one constantly refilled with fresh mana.
[04:08] Sisti
Rumia, what's wrong?
[04:10] Rumia
Huh?
[04:10] Rumia
Oh, it's nothing.
[04:15] Burks
Here, we research the combining
of multiple plants and animals
[04:19] ---
to create chimeras.
[04:22] Kash
That's awesome!
[04:23] Cecil
Yeah!
[04:25] Wendy
It's ingenious!
[04:26] Sisti
I was planning to major in magic
archaeology in the future,
[04:30] ---
but this is making me reconsider a bit.
[04:33] Sisti
How about you, Rumia?
[04:34] Rumia
I'm aiming for the mage bureaucracy, so...
[04:37] Rumia
Besides, looking at this place
makes me feel kind of...
[04:41] Rumia
Well, it makes me wonder if it's really
okay for people to manipulate life
[04:46] ---
as they please like this.
[04:51] Sisti
True...
[04:52] Sisti
If you delve too deep into this,
[04:55] ---
you could fall down the path
to becoming an evil mage.
[05:02] Sisti
But it looks like they aren't
doing that research here, either.
[05:06] Rumia
Huh?
[05:06] Sisti
I guess it's probably obvious, though.
[05:09] ---
I'm talking about research into
reviving or resuscitating the dead.
[05:12] Sisti
In the past, the empire launched a grand
project called "Project Revive Li—
[05:16] Burks
You know your history well.
[05:21] Burks
I'm surprised to hear that
phrase from a student.
[05:24] Sisti
Oh, it's no big deal...
[05:25] Sisti
But in our classes, we're taught
that reviving or resuscitating
[05:29] ---
a dead person is theoretically impossible.
[05:31] Burks
Precisely.
[05:32] Burks
At present, there is no magic
that can overturn that theory.
[05:36] Burks
That's why we have what's known
as Project Revive Life, which—
[05:39] Glenn
Project Revive Life involves
[05:42] Glenn
a body created through
alchemy using a Gene Code,
[05:44] ---
the genetic code of the person to be revived;
[05:47] Glenn
an Astral Code, memories
transformed into data;
[05:50] Glenn
and Alter Ether, which initializes
or resets someone's spirit.
[05:54] Glenn
Those three elements are
combined to revive someone.
[05:58] Glenn
At least, that's the technique.
[05:59] Sisti
Hey, Sensei!
[06:00] Sisti
I'm grateful for the explanation,
but why are you butting in?
[06:04] Glenn
Oh, sorry about that!
[06:05] Glenn
I was just so intrigued by your discussion.
[06:07] Burks
In short, it's the idea of combining
copies to create a copied person.
[06:13] Rumia
But can you really call that revival?
[06:17] Burks
Indeed, it's hard to call that revival.
[06:19] Burks
It's no more than creating a duplicate
of who they were shortly prior.
[06:25] Glenn
Relax.
[06:27] Glenn
This research was abandoned long ago.
[06:30] Glenn
Multiple people had to die
in order to revive one person.
[06:35] Glenn
That kind of thing would never be allowed.
[06:40] Burks
Indeed.
[06:42] Burks
We humans are not gods.
[06:43] ---
We don't have the right to
decide who should live or die.
[06:47] Burks
Project Revive Life is research
that should remain sealed away.
[06:52] Burks
However, I've heard rumors that
the Researchers of Divine Wisdom
[06:57] ---
have stolen and successfully
completed that research.
[07:02] Glen
That's only an urban legend.
[07:05] Sisti
Um, this is purely out of curiosity,
[07:09] ---
but aside from the three elements you
mentioned, what else would be needed
[07:15] ---
to make Project Revive Life succeed?
[07:18] Burks
All I can think of is original magic.
[07:22] Burks
If someone possessed original magic
[07:25] Burks
necessary to Project Revive
Life, then just maybe...
[07:30] Sisti
B-But the chances of someone like that
showing up are astronomically small, right?
[07:37] Burks
Indeed.
[07:39] Burks
Either way, making that research successful
[07:42] ---
would require something that
makes the impossible possible.
[07:58] Sisti
Rumia, Kash and the others
invited us to go eat lunch.
[08:02] Sisti
They're heading to a local
restaurant on this island.
[08:06] Sisti

[08:42] Glenn
That idiot.
[08:44] Re=L
It's their fault!
[08:48] Re=L
They're the ones...
[08:50] Re=L
They took Glenn.
[08:53] Re=L
I hate them!
[09:17] Re=L
Why?
[09:20] Re=L
Why?
[09:29] Glenn
Re=L is just a child.
[09:32] Glenn
She may look like she's the
same age as all of you,
[09:35] Glenn
but mentally, she's still a little child.
[09:39] Glenn
She didn't have a choice.
It's how she was born.
[09:43] Glenn
Anyway, I hope you two
won't lose patience with her.
[09:47] Glenn
I know that might be hard.
[09:50] Rumia
We'll be fine!
[09:52] Rumia
We wouldn't hate Re=L over this.
[09:56] Sisit
Yeah.
[09:59] Sisti
I'm going to look for Re=L!
[10:05] Glenn
No, you two should wait for her to come back.
[10:09] Sisti
But...
[10:13] Glenn
I'll go look for Re=L.
[10:16] Glenn
I am her teacher, after all.
[10:26] Rainer
Are you crying, Re=L?
[10:28] Re=L
Who's there?
[10:31] Rainer
You forgot your big brother? How mean.
[10:36] Re=L
Nii-san... How?
[10:39] Rainer
I've wanted to see you all this time.
[10:51] Albert
Tsk. That's the play?
[10:59] Albert
Hmph.
[11:00] ---
A barrier to repel others?
[11:02] Albert
You act quickly.
[11:03] Albert
No, perhaps I was careless.
[11:08] Eleanor
Are you all alone tonight, Albert-sama?
[11:13] Albert
I didn't expect you to show up, Eleanor Chalet.
[11:18] Eleanor
If you wouldn't mind, perhaps you
could entertain me tonight?
[11:23] Eleanor
I promise to provide a dreamy night
[11:26] ---
of fiery passion and
shameless, decadent ecstasy.
[11:31] Albert
Unfortunately, I'm not interested
in cheap women like you.
[11:36] Albert
Get lost.
[11:40] Eleanor
What a cold man you are.
[11:42] Albert
I'm sure you're still plotting some
vile scheme related to the princess,
[11:47] Albert
but it ends here.
[11:48] Albert
I'm removing you from the board at once.
[11:50] Eleanor
My, my, what an impatient man you are.
[11:53] Eleanor
No need for such haste.
[11:54] Albert
Roar, flame lion!
[11:55] Eleanor
Come forth, red king of beasts!
[12:08] Eleanor
Come out,
[12:10] Eleanor
ah, come out,
[12:12] Eleanor
come out...
[12:15] Eleanor
Spirits of the night, answer my call,
[12:18] Eleanor
answer,
[12:19] Eleanor
answer.
[12:20] Eleanor
Console and moisten thyselves
with his flesh and blood!
[12:26] Eleanor
Now, now,
[12:28] Eleanor
feast!
[12:39] Albert
A necromancer!
[12:44] Albert
Golden lightning beast, pay heed,
race across the earth,
[12:48] ---
and dance to the heavens.
[13:02] Albert
Did you think it would be easy to
overtake me in close magic combat,
[13:07] ---
just because I'm a sniper?
[13:09] Eleanor
You jest.
[13:11] ---
You're simply far stronger
than I had imagined,
[13:17] Eleanor
and so intense...
[13:18] Eleanor
I think I'm going to go crazy!
[13:21] Albert
That super regeneration ability
isn't a conditional healing spell
[13:25] ---
or the result of drugs that
accelerate your own healing factor.
[13:28] Albert
It's something more repulsive.
[13:33] Albert
This woman is on a different level than
the evil mages I've eliminated before.
[13:38] Albert
If I manage to capture her,
[13:40] ---
the Empire will gain an advantage
over her organization.
[13:44] Eleanor
Shall I continue the entertainment?
[13:47] Albert
Yet this woman is dangerous.
[13:50] Albert
I must finish her here and now, for good!
[13:58] Rumia
What do you think is wrong with Re=L?
[14:02] Sisti
I couldn't say why,
[14:04] Sisti
but when we went to see the ocean together...
[14:09] (Flashback) Re=L
Friends...
[14:11] (Flashback) Re=L
I don't get it, but I kind of like it.
[14:15] Sisti
I don't think Re=L was
lying when she said that.
[14:21] Rumia
I agree.
[14:22] Sisti
All right!
[14:24] Sisti
I'm going to go buy something!
[14:26] Sisti
I'm sure they're both going
to come back starving.
[14:31] Rumia
Could you please, then?
[14:33] Sisti
Sure!
[14:39] Re=L
No way...
[14:41] Re=L
Nii-san...
[14:42] Re=L
You died...
[14:44] Re=L
How?
[14:45] Rainer
It's true that the organization
killed me that day.
[14:49] Rainer
But at the time, you were
probably too upset to notice...
[14:53] Rainer
that I was still breathing.
[14:57] Rainer
Re=L, please save me.
[15:01] Rainer
Two years ago, you managed to
defect and earn your freedom.
[15:06] Rainer
But I'm still their slave.
[15:09] Re=L
B-But what can I do to save you?
[15:13] Rainer
Rumia Tingel...
[15:15] Rainer
The organization needs her for the
plans they have in motion now.
[15:20] Rainer
So that mage, Glenn, is an
obstacle to their plans.
[15:24] Rainer
The organization has given me a chance.
[15:27] ---
If I can make this plan succeed,
[15:29] Rainer
I'll be free, Re=L.
[15:40] Re=L
I-I...
[15:43] Rainer
Re=L, weren't you going to protect me?
[15:47] Re=L
I-I...
[15:49] Rainer
Or are you planning to abandon me again?
[15:53] Glenn
Re=L!
[15:55] Glenn
Get away from that man!
[15:59] Rainer
Glenn Radars?
[16:01] Glenn
Oh, so you've heard of me.
[16:03] Glenn
Just what I'd expect from the
Researchers of Divine Wisdom.
[16:05] Rainer
N-No, I...
[16:09] Rainer
R-Re=L...
[16:12] Glenn
I don't know what lies you've told Re=L,
[16:15] ---
but giving me time to get
here was a big mistake,
[16:18] Glenn
you evil mage!
[16:21] Glenn
It doesn't matter what secret
arts you may possess.
[16:25] Glenn
Re=L, let's capture this man.
[16:31] Glenn
Huh?
[16:37] Glenn
Re=L?
[16:41] Re=L
Thank you for everything.
[16:43] Re=L
Farewell.
[16:52] Re=L
I'll live for my brother's sake.
[17:09] Albert
Pathetic!
[17:10] Eleanor
What a shame!
[17:12] Eleanor
Time to depart.
[17:14] Eleanor
Explode!
[17:23] Albert
She got me good, didn't she?
[17:28] Albert
Oh, well...
[17:33] Sisti
Maybe I bought too much...
[17:35] Sisti
But Sensei does eat a lot.
[17:43] Sisti
Rumia?
[17:57] Sisti
Re=L?
[18:00] Sisti
What are you doing?!
[18:02] Sisti
Rumia!
[18:03] Re=L
It's all right.
[18:05] Re=L
I didn't kill Rumia.
[18:07] Re=L
She's just unconscious.
[18:09] Sisti
Only Rumia?
[18:11] Sisti
Wh-Where's Sensei?
[18:12] Sisti
Glenn-sensei went after you!
[18:16] Re=L
Glenn?
[18:18] Re=L
I killed him.
[18:31] Sisti
No way.
[18:32] Sisti
No way...
[18:34] Sisti
It can't be.
[18:35] Sisti
What?
[18:36] Sisti
What do you...
[18:37] Sisti
Why would you do this?!
[18:38] Re=L
I'm actually with the Researchers of...
[18:43] ---
Er, what was it?
[18:44] Re=L
Anyway, I'm your enemy.
[18:48] Re=L
I'm taking Rumia with me.
[18:53] Sisti
Hold it right there!
[18:56] Sisti
Get away from Rumia.
[18:59] Sisti
If you move, I'll shoot.
[19:03] Sisti
Don't move!
[19:06] Re=L
Will you?
[19:07] Sisti
Huh?
[19:08] Re=L
Will you really do it?
[19:16] Re=L
Go ahead and shoot.
[19:19] Re=L
I won't do anything.
[19:23] Re=L
Shoot.
[19:24] (Flashback) Flashback
Bang.
[19:25] (Flashback) Flashback
You might be acting tough,
[19:26] (Flashback) ---
but you're just a kid hiding her
own weakness with a mask.
[19:28] Re=L
Shoot.
[19:29] (Flashback) Flashback
Stop it!
[19:31] Re=L
Shoot.
[19:35] (Flashback) Flashback
I want to make magic beneficial
to mankind in a real sense.
[19:38] Re=L
Shoot.
[19:40] (Flashback) Flashback
But if you really want to protect Rumia
when it comes to that, you'll need power.
[19:43] (Flashback) Flashback
If military magic scares you, I can
have faith that you'll use it correctly,
[19:47] (Flashback) ---
without being swayed by magic's dark side.
[20:00] Re=L
Time's up.
[20:09] Sisti
But how could I?
[20:14] Sisti
If I fired here,
[20:16] Sisti
I might have hit Rumia, too.
[20:19] Sisti
And Re=L, too. She could've died...
[20:26] Sisti
I'm a liar.
[20:27] Sisti
I was just so scared, I couldn't do a thing.
[20:34] Sisti
Sensei...
[20:40] Albert
Pardon me, Fibel.
[20:41] Sisti
Albert-san?
[20:50] Sisti
Glenn-sensei?!
[20:51] Albert
Don't panic. He's still breathing.
[20:53] Sisti
He needs healing magic quick!
[20:55] Albert
It won't work.
[20:56] Albert
He's already on the reaper's scythe.
[20:59] Sisti
No...
[21:00] Sisti
Sensei!
[21:02] Sisti
Sensei!
[21:03] Albert
Anyway, lend me your strength.
[21:06] Sisti
What do you expect me to do?!
[21:08] Sisti
If healing magic won't work,
there's nothing I can do!
[21:11] Sisti
No! No, no!
[21:14] Sisti
Why did this have to happen?!
[21:17] Albert
Calm down, Fibel.
[21:19] Albert
Is crying and screaming really what
you should be doing right now?
[21:25] Albert
If you want to kill this man,
then cry and scream away.
[21:29] Albert
The rest will be the undertaker's job.
[21:37] Sisti
Please wait.
[21:40] Sisti
What do I need to do?
[21:46] Sisti
The white magic ritual, Reviver?
[21:48] Sisti
But doesn't that require
a huge amount of mana?
[21:51] Albert
Exactly.
[21:52] Albert
Fibel, I'll be using your mana, too.
[21:56] Sistine
Understood.
[21:59] Albert
I'll handle the detailed setup of the ritual.
[22:01] Albert
You work on the shortened,
temporary servant pact.
[22:06] Albert
Tsk. His breathing stopped completely.
[22:09] Albert
Wuss.
[22:09] Sisti
S-Sensei?!
[22:11] Albert
Calm down. He only stopped breathing.
[22:15] Albert
He still has a faint pulse.
[22:17] Albert
Fibel, use CPR to keep him
going until the ritual begins.
[22:20] Sisti
Huh? CPR?!
[22:22] Albert
If you're an academy student,
you should know it.
[22:23] Albert
Do it.
[22:26] Sisti
B-But I've never actually...
[22:30] Albert
Hurry, Fibel!
[22:31] Albert
There's no time to be scared!
[23:02] Rainer
Looks like you're awake now.
[23:05] Rainer
Sorry for the rough treatment.
[23:07] Rainer
But we need you, no matter what.
[23:10] Rainer
For our sake, as siblings. Right?
[23:16] Rumia
Re=L?
[23:17] Rumia
Why are you doing this?
[23:18] Rumia
Where's Sensei?!
[23:20] Rainer
He won't be coming for you anymore.
[23:22] Rainer
Re=L killed him.
[23:26] Rumia
He's lying, right?
[23:29] Rumia
Re=L, you'd never do that, right?
[23:38] Re=L
Sorry.

Ha, ha, ha! I'm taking Rumia away!
[23:48] Rumia
What?!
[23:50] Sisti
Rumia?!
[23:52] Sisti
Rumia's been captured by Re=L,
Glenn-sensei isn't regaining consciousness,
[23:55] Sisti
and my only hope, Albert-san,
is playing with kittens!
[23:57] Albert
Sorry. Pull something off on your own.
[23:59] Sisti
If only Professor Arfonia were here right now.
[24:02] Celica
You called?
[24:03] Sisti
Professor Arfonia!

Huh? But you're not in next week's episode!

I'm not?

Thank goodness!

I don't know what I'd have done if you'd died!

Why,

Re=L?!
[00:05] Re=L
I don't think I wanted to...
[00:08] Re=L
But if I don't do this, I won't know
what I'm living for anymore.
[00:17] (Flashback) Ilushia
Help me.

You're...
[00:26] (Flashback) Glenn
I'm sorry. I was too late.
[00:36] Albert
You're as resilient as ever.
[00:39] Glenn
Looks like I owe you big.
[00:41] Albert
If you want to thank someone, thank Fibel.
[00:43] Albert
Without her, Reviver wouldn't have worked.
[00:48] Albert
She has surprising mana capacity.
[00:53] Glenn
I had a vague inkling already,
[00:55] Glenn
but white cat, you really are amazing.
[00:59] Glenn
Impertinent, but amazing.
[01:01] Albert
We might be able to count on her
in our fight to protect the princess.
[01:04] Glenn
Idiot. It's not like that for her.
[01:10] Glenn
Explain our situation.

[02:44] Glenn
Jeez, that Re=L...
[02:46] Albert
I warned you to be careful of her.
[02:50] Glenn
Did you already suspect that
[02:51] ---
the Researchers of Divine Wisdom
were planning to try something?
[02:55] Albert
Yeah. We had an investigation report
that showed a suspicious flow of funds
[02:59] ---
around this white alchemy research lab.
[03:03] Albert
After probing deeper into it,
[03:05] ---
we found a distinct connection between
them and the director, Burks Blaumohn.
[03:09] Glenn
Then why didn't you say that
when you made contact with me?!
[03:13] Glenn
I see. You were planning to use Rumia
as bait from the very beginning.
[03:17] Glenn
Was that the army's...
[03:19] Glenn
No, your superiors' intention?
[03:20] Glenn
Damn you! Why didn't you stop them?!
[03:23] Albert
You should know why.
[03:27] Glenn
Because Re=L's identity
would have become known.
[03:31] Glenn
Still, I can't forgive you
for using Rumia as bait.
[03:34] Glenn
Don't involve her in this mess
for your own convenience!
[03:37] Albert
My superiors are scumbags for ordering it,
[03:40] ---
and for following those orders, I'm just as bad.
[03:43] Albert
I won't deny that.
[03:44] Albert
But at this point, I won't be merciful.
[03:47] Albert
If Re=L intends to stand in
our way, I'll eliminate her.
[03:51] Glenn
No, first we need to correct
her misunderstanding,
[03:54] Glenn
then bring her back to us.
[03:56] Glenn
That's my responsibility,
since I picked her up two years ago.
[03:59] Albert
You said her brother showed up?
[04:01] Albert
Do you think she'll really listen to you now?
[04:04] Glenn
I'll make her!
[04:05] Glenn
I'll make her listen, even if I have
to pound it into her with my fists.
[04:09] Albert
I'm surprised you can say that.
[04:12] Albert
You ran.
[04:14] Albert
You abandoned your comrades
without a single word.
[04:17] Albert
The underlying cause for
Re=L's betrayal is there.
[04:20] Albert
Do you think you have the right to save Re=L?
[04:24] Albert
Answer me, Glenn Radars.
[04:27] Glenn
Everything you've said is a
sound argument, damn it!
[04:30] Glenn
Still...
[04:31] Glenn
I'm her teacher.
[04:33] Glenn
And right now, Re=L is one of my students!
[04:38] Albert
You never change.
[04:39] Albert
But perhaps that's why I continue
to stake my hopes on you.
[04:47] Glenn
Damn it!
[04:48] Glenn
What was that for?!
[04:50] Albert
With that, I'll forgive you for
disappearing without a word.
[04:56] Glenn
This is my...
[04:58] Albert
I'm going to prioritize
rescuing the princess.
[05:01] Albert
If the situation forces me to eliminate Re=L,
I'll shoot without hesitation.
[05:07] Albert
And I'll hear no complaints.
[05:09] Glenn
You're as tricky to handle as ever.
[05:16] Glenn
You helped me out again, huh?
[05:19] Glenn
Thanks, Sistine.
[05:25] Kash
Huh?
[05:26] Kash
What's Glenn-sensei up to?
[05:28] Kash
The guy with him... Is that...
[05:34] Sisti
Sensei?
[05:38] Sisti
I couldn't protect Rumia.
[05:50] Burks
Yes! Yes!
[05:52] Burks
It's working! It's working!
[05:54] ---
Today, Project Revive Life will be completed!
[05:57] ---
By my own hands!
[05:59] ---
Still, to not only gather the three
elements this project requires,
[06:03] ---
but to persuade one of our enemies
and retrieve this Amplifier...
[06:07] ---
You're quite a talented man, aren't you?
[06:10] Rainer
You honor me with your praise.
[06:12] Rainer
Without a researcher
possessing original magic,
[06:15] ---
this Amplifier becomes necessary.
[06:18] Burks
Consider it an honor to be able
to contribute to this research.
[06:24] Burks
You still have the energy
to give us that look?
[06:27] Burks
Then let me tell you something.
[06:29] Burks
You probably think the Researchers
of Divine Wisdom are evil.
[06:34] Burks
But if you ask me, the Imperial
Family is far more evil and corrupt.
[06:40] Burks
It's enough to make me vomit.
[06:44] Burks
A nation governed by a royal family
like that deserves a swift downfall.
[06:49] Eleanor
Burks-sama, that's enough.
[06:52] Rumia
Wh-What do all of you know?
[07:02] Rumia
What are you...
[07:11] Rainer
Re=L, are you all right?
[07:23] Eleanor
I see. So that's what it was.
[07:31] (Flashback) Glenn
A magical signal?
[07:32] (Flashback) Albert
Yeah. After the incident
at the magic competition,
[07:35] (Flashback) ---
I enchanted it with a spell that can detect
the princess's whereabouts at any time.
[07:39] (Flashback) Glenn
So that's how you knew she was here?
[07:42] (Flashback) Albert
No, that one was already dispelled.
[07:44] (Flashback) Albert
But I planted another...
[07:47] (Flashback) Albert
on Eleanor Chalet.
[07:49] Eleanor
Impressive, Albert-sama.
[07:54] Rumia
Sensei!
[07:58] Burks
I won't let them interfere.
[08:00] Burks
Instead, I'll have one of my creations
give them a warm welcome.
[08:03] Glenn
What, no security?
[08:06] Albert
This will be quick if that's the case.
[08:17] Albert
Roar, flame lion!
[08:27] Eleanor
Did you truly think you could defeat
them with something like that?
[08:33] Burks
Curse you!
[08:38] Sistine
Why did I even undergo training with Sensei?
[08:41] Sistine
If I can't be useful at a time like this...
[08:46] Wendy
Sistine?
[08:48] Wendy
Where's Rumia?
[08:50] Wendy
Something happened, didn't it?
[08:54] Glenn
So, that chimera...
[08:56] Albert
The military was researching them long ago.
[08:59] Albert
But being so dangerous, they were
supposed to have been disposed of.
[09:02] Glenn
That Burks bastard is
shadier than we thought.
[09:07] Glenn
Well, I figured that wouldn't be the end of it.
[09:16] Glenn
This one looks a bit heavy.
[09:24] Burks
Look at how pathetic they are
before the jeweled beast!
[09:28] Rumia
Sensei...
[09:29] Burks
See that, Eleanor?
[09:31] Burks
This is the might of my magic!
[09:35] Eleanor
We'll see.
[09:41] Glenn
...the five elements to elements,

and sever the links woven

[09:47] Glenn
Now all of creation ought to perish here,
[09:50] Glenn
at the distant ends of the void!
[09:52] Glenn
Blow away!
[09:56] Burks
I-Impossible!
[09:59] Eleanor
As expected, Glenn-sama.
[10:01] Eleanor
That was handled splendidly, indeed.
[10:03] Burk
Who is this Glenn Radars?
[10:06] Burk
He's just some magic teacher!
[10:08] Burks
I'll make him breathe his last!
[10:11] Eleanor
Take note.
[10:14] Eleanor
Now, we'll leave the rest
to your younger sister.
[10:17] Rainer
Understood.
[10:18] Eleanor
I cannot perish here, after all.
[10:23] Kash
What do you mean? I don't get it!
[10:26] Sisti
Sorry. I can't say more than that.
[10:29] Sisti
But rest assured,
[10:31] Sisti
Sensei is going to do something about this.
[10:33] Lynn
So you say, but...
[10:34] Kash
Don't tell me both Rumia and
Re=L won't be coming back.
[10:37] Wendy
Th-That won't happen.
[10:40] Cecil
But...
[10:41] Rodde
Waiting here won't get us anywhere!
[10:43] Ky
Let's go look for them!
[10:44] Theresa
No, that's dangerous!
[10:45] Ky
Are you suggesting we abandon them?
[10:47] Wendy
She's saying its dangerous to search blindly.
[10:50] Wendy
We all know that loser is a pathetic bastard,
[10:54] Wendy
but he's still someone we can
count on when it matters.
[10:57] Kash
He's usually a good-for-nothing,
moronic bastard,
[10:59] ---
and we know he can prove
his worth when it counts,
[11:02] Kash
but do we have any guarantee
that we can trust him now?
[11:07] Albert
Re=L and the princess are up ahead.
[11:10] Glenn
Oh, he's coming out to greet us himself?
[11:13] Burks
You two!
[11:19] Glenn
He's even modified his own body?
[11:23] Albert
I'll handle this man. You go on ahead.
[11:26] Glenn
Thanks.
[11:27] Glenn
I'll leave this to you, then.
[11:30] Albert
Lightning spear!
[11:36] Albert
I'm your opponent!
[11:40] Kash
Enough!
[11:41] Kash
We'll go on our own!
[11:43] Gibul
Hmph. You're all being dramatic.
[11:46] Gibul
If Glenn-sensei left without telling
us anything, then just leave him be.
[11:53] Kash
That's no way to put it!
[11:55] Kash
Aren't you worried about him?
[11:57] Sistine
That's not it, Kash.
[11:58] Sistine
He's saying we should trust Sensei and wait.
[12:01] Sistine
Isn't that right, Gibul?
[12:05] Sistine
I share your worries and fears myself,
but if we do go after Sensei,
[12:12] Sistine
what would we be able to do?
[12:15] Kash
We'd be able to help him, of course!
[12:18] Sistine
We wouldn't.
[12:20] Sistine
We'd just be a burden on him.
[12:23] Sistine
So I think we need to trust Sensei and wait.
[12:27] Sistine
Please!
[12:28] Sistine
Trust him!
[12:34] Wendy
We get it already.
[12:37] Kash
We're all so worried about him,
but it might just be something silly.
[12:41] Cecil
Besides, Sensei will be all right.
[12:44] Cecil
After all, he's an amazing guy who took
on all those terrorists single-handedly.
[12:48] Sistine
Thanks.
[12:51] Wendy
Sistine, why are you crying?
[12:54] Sistine
Oh, it's nothing.
[12:59] Rainer
It's almost complete.
[13:03] Rainer
Those two will be here soon.
[13:05] Rainer
You'll defeat them, won't you?
[13:08] Rainer
For my sake.
[13:09] Re=L
Of course.
[13:11] Re=L
That's my reason for living.
[13:13] Rainer
Good girl.
[13:20] Rumia
Sensei...
[13:21] Glenn
Sorry, Rumia.
[13:23] Glenn
I wound up getting here pretty late.
[13:26] Rumia
I'm so glad you're safe.
[13:31] Glenn
Jeez, worrying about me at a time like this?
[13:35] Glenn
Re=L! Don't just stand there watching!
[13:38] Glenn
Don't you have anything to say
after what you did to Rumia?!
[13:42] Glenn
Hey, you there.
[13:43] Glenn
You've put my precious student
into an awfully enticing
[13:46] ---
and rather fetishist get-up, haven't you? Huh?!
[13:50] Rainer
That's Burks-san's taste.
[13:52] Glenn
Quit your stupid babbling!
[13:54] Re=L
Glenn, don't come any closer to my brother.
[13:58] Rainer
Re=L... That's my good little sister.
[14:01] Rainer
Don't let him get in my way.
[14:03] Re=L
Got it.
[14:04] Re=L
I beseech creation,
grant unto my hands a great blade.
[14:11] Glenn
Hey, Re=L.
[14:12] Glenn
Do you seriously want to fight?
[14:14] Glenn
I think your prank's gone
far enough, hasn't it?
[14:16] Re=L
Say what you will.
[14:18] Re=L
I'll fight for my brother.
[14:20] Glenn
You idiot!
[14:21] Glenn
You're being tricked!
[14:23] Glenn
Your brother died two years ago!
[14:25] Re=L
Be quiet!
[14:26] Glenn
The dead can't come back to life, idiot!
[14:28] Re=L
But he's alive!
[14:29] Re=L
Why would you say that?!
[14:30] Glenn
Because I'm the one who can say it!
[14:32] Re=L
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
[14:35] Glenn
Damn, it's no use.
[14:37] Glenn
She's not listening.
[14:39] Glenn
What do I do?
[14:42] Glenn
Come, Re=L!
[14:43] Glenn
Bring it on!
[14:47] Glenn
That's right.
[14:48] Glenn
It's my fault for not telling her the truth,
and for running away without her.
[14:53] Glenn
Re=L, please.
[14:54] Glenn
Listen to me!
[14:57] Rumia
Re=L! Stop this!
[14:59] Rumia
Don't do this to Sensei!
[15:01] Rumia
He's a precious teacher,
to both me and Sistine!
[15:05] Rumia
And you're our precious friend, too!
[15:09] Rumia
That's why, back then, we...
[15:12] Glenn
Now!
[15:13] Glenn
Hey, Re=L.
[15:15] Glenn
You really love your brother, don't you?
[15:18] Re=L
Nii-san is my everything.
[15:20] Re=L
I've decided to live for him.
[15:34] Glenn
I'm jealous that he could make his
own sister say things like that.
[15:38] Re=L
What are you trying to say?
[15:40] Glenn
I'd love to grow closer
to your wonderful brother.
[15:44] Glenn
So, what's your brother's name?
[15:46] Re=L
Why would you ask that now?
[15:48] Rainer
Re=L, hurry up and finish him!
[15:51] Glenn
Come on, just tell me his name.
If you can say it, I'll back down.
[15:54] Rainer
Don't listen to him!
[15:56] Glenn
Come on, hurry up and say it.
[15:58] Re=L
His name...
[16:01] Glenn
What's wrong?
[16:02] Re=L
My brother's name...
[16:06] Re=L
Ow.
[16:08] Re=L
My head hurts...
[16:10] Re=L
Nii-san's... name?
[16:13] Re=L
What was his name?
[16:15] Rainer
What does the name matter?!
[16:16] Rainer
I'm your brother!
[16:20] Glenn
Let the plate of order tip to starboard.
[16:32] Glenn
It was a risky bet.
[16:34] Re=L
O-Ow...
[16:35] Glenn
It's futile.
[16:37] Glenn
This isn't my strength. It's gravity.
[16:40] Re=L
Gravity Control?
[16:46] Glenn
Just sit tight for a bit.
[16:47] Rainer
Get away from my little sister!
[16:49] Glenn
Shut up!
[16:50] Glenn
Quiet, you fake!
[16:58] Rainer
Stop it!
[17:02] Glenn
You may be acting like her brother,
but the moment you called her Re=L,
[17:06] ---
you proved you were fake!
[17:09] Re=L
Project Revive Life...
[17:13] ---
Project Re=L...
[17:19] ---
That's right.
[17:21] ---
My brother's name was Sion.
[17:26] (Flashback) Rainer
I decided to give Ilushia's
copy the name "Re=L."
[17:31] (Flashback) Ilushia
Re=L...
[17:33] (Flashback) Sion
Rainer, let's stop this.
[17:35] (Flashback) Sion
How many innocent people have we
sacrificed just to create this one child?
[17:40] (Flashback) Sion
Let's leave this organization already.
[17:41] (Flashback) Sion
I have a plan to do it.
[17:43] (Flashback) Sion
The Imperial Court Mage Corps'—
[17:48] (Flashback) Sion
Rainer?
[17:51] (Flashback) Sion
Ilushia, run!
[17:55] (Flashback) Rainer
Ilushia, I don't need you anymore, either.
[17:58] (Flashback) Rainer
I already have your three elements in hand.
[18:01] (Flashback) Rainer
You can sleep alongside Sion.
[18:04] Re=L
That's right...
[18:06] Re=L
I...
[18:07] Re=L
I'm...
[18:09] Rainer
Two years ago, Sion betrayed us and reported
us to the Imperial Court Mage Corps,
[18:15] ---
and they raided our research lab.
[18:18] Glenn
Yeah, I know.
[18:20] Glenn
I was the one in contact
with Sion at the time.
[18:23] (Flashback) Sion
Project Revive Life...
[18:25] (Flashback) Sion
It can be completed with my original spell.
[18:29] (Flashback) Sion
If I leave the organization, they
won't be able to continue with it.
[18:33] (Flashback) Sion
Glenn-san, I have a favor to ask.
[18:35] (Flashback) Sion
I have friends I want to save.
[18:37] (Flashback) Sion
Friends who have shared my pains
and joys since we were young.
[18:41] (Flashback) Glenn
What are their names?
[18:42] (Flashback) Sion
Ilushia and Rainer.
[18:44] Glenn
After that, we lost contact with him,
so we raided the research lab,
[18:48] ---
but Sion was already dead.
[18:52] Glenn
So was the heavily wounded Ilushia.
[18:56] Glenn
I then protected the young
girl who had inherited
[18:59] ---
her Astral Code, the memories she had
up to the moment of her death.
[19:07] Re=L
That's me.
[19:10] Rainer
I thought I altered your memories to suit my
needs before you escaped the research lab.
[19:16] Rainer
I guess junk is nothing but junk.
[19:18] Glenn
Junk?
[19:20] Glenn
Hey, you cut that out.
[19:21] Rainer
Junk is junk.
[19:23] Rainer
I don't need her anymore.
[19:24] Glenn
Why, you!
[19:26] Glenn
Ferocious thunder emperor, pay heed,
and pierce with your brilliant lance of light!
[19:36] Rainer
Yes, because I have these girls.
[19:41] Glenn
No way!
[19:43] Rainer
Too bad for you.
[19:45] Rainer
These girls are perfect.
[19:47] Rainer
I've eliminated troublesome
emotions from them.
[19:50] Rainer
They're my very own puppets!
[19:52] Rainer
Now, go! Put an end to them!
[20:16] Glenn
Whew, that was close.
[20:18] Re=L
Why are you protecting me?
[20:21] Re=L
I don't have anything.
[20:23] Glenn
Shut up, you idiot!
[20:25] Glenn
Why would I go out of my way to
protect someone who had nothing?!
[20:30] Re=L
But I'm just a doll.
[20:33] Glenn
Huh?
[20:34] Glenn
A doll wouldn't make that face.
[20:37] Glenn
White cat, Rumia, and the rest of our
class doesn't see you that way, either!
[20:43] Rumia
That's right, Re=L!
[20:45] Glenn
There, you see?
[20:46] Re=L
But I did cruel things to you.
[20:50] Re=L
And to Sistine and everyone else...
[20:52] Glenn
Then go apologize to everyone later!
[20:56] Rumia
Sensei!
[20:57] Glenn
Ow!
[21:01] Glenn
Live for something you hold dear!
[21:04] Glenn
Meaning, value, reasons...
[21:07] Glenn
Don't strain the brain you don't have
thinking about those things, idiot!
[21:11] Re=L
What I hold dear?
[21:17] Re=L
Sorry, my sisters.
[21:21] Re=L
It may be selfish, but I'll
live for all of you, as well.
[21:26] Re=L
Farewell.
[21:38] Rainer
Th-This can't be!
[21:40] Rainer
Ferocious thunder emperor, pay heed,
and pierce with your brilliant—
[21:45] Glenn
Too bad. This is my specialty.
[21:53] Glenn
Sorry, Rumia.
[21:54] Glenn
Close your eyes.
[21:56] Glenn
It'll be over in a second.
[21:58] Rumia
That look...
[21:59] Rumia
It's just like when I first met him.
[22:02] Rainer
Please...
[22:03] Rainer
Don't kill me!

Bye.
[22:08] Glenn
You thought I would?

No way, idiot.

Well, anyway...

[07:37] Leos
To think I'd run into you first thing
after arriving at this academy, Sistine.
[07:42] Sisti
Y-You're...
[07:44] Glenn
What's this I sense in the air?
[07:46] Leos
I'm Leos.
[07:48] Leos
Leos Kleitos.
[07:50] Leos
I've been invited to this
academy as a guest instructor.
[07:53] Leos
And I'm Sistine's fiancé.
[07:58] All
What?!
[08:01] Lenard
Oh, I remember!
[08:03] Filiana
Huh?
[08:04] Lenard
I was supposed to tell Sisti
that Leos-kun is coming.
[08:07] Filiana
Oh, now that you mention it...
[08:09] Sistine
H-Hold it, Leos!
[08:11] Sistine
What are you saying?!
[08:14] Leos
You and I once swore our futures
to one another, didn't we?
[08:18] Sistine
Th-That was a joke we made as kids—
[08:19] Glenn
Dude, are you actually serious?
[08:21] Glenn
Give it up. Hooking up with her
is like digging your own grave.
[08:26] Sisti
What's that supposed to mean?!
[08:29] Leos
Could you refrain from
insulting my future spouse?
[08:34] Sisti
Wait, Leos.
[08:36] Sisti
Glenn-sensei is, um, just joking.
[08:40] Leos
Glenn-sensei?
[08:41] Leos
I see.
[08:43] Leos
So you're Glenn Radars-san.
[08:45] Glenn
How do you know about me?
[08:48] Leos
There's talk of you even at the
Kleitos Magic Academy, where I teach.
[08:54] Leos
A promising new teacher who suddenly
appeared at Alzano Imperial Magic Academy.
[08:59] Leos
In contrast to recent magic education
focused on cramming in the most spells,
[09:04] Leos
you understand the fundamentals of spells,
[09:06] ---
and place emphasis on their practical use.
[09:08] Leos
A rather rare type of teacher, or so they say.
[09:12] Leos
I would love to listen in on
one of your lectures sometime.
[09:16] Glenn
I'm not that big a deal, though.
[09:20] Rick
Leos Kleitos.
[09:22] Rick
Candidate to be the next
head of the countdom.
[09:25] Halley
He's famous in the Imperial
United Magical Society!
[09:28] Rick
Still, for them to send
such an excellent teacher
[09:32] ---
to fill in for ours, who's on an
extended medical leave of absence...
[09:36] Halley
What good fortune!
[09:38] Celica
Why were we assigned a man of his talents?
[09:41] Celica
Isn't this strange?
[09:42] Rick
Well, yes, it is.
[09:44] Halley
Worried?
[09:45] Halley
That Leos-dono might steal your
stupid apprentice's position?
[09:50] Celica
How much easier it would
be if that were the case.
[09:54] Leos
I'm still serious about it, Sistine.
[09:58] Leos
I love you from the bottom of my heart.
[10:02] Glenn
Good for you, white cat!
[10:04] Glenn
It'd normally be impossible
for anyone to have
[10:06] ---
the hots for an impertinent girl like you.
[10:09] Glenn
Man, they're right about some
people having peculiar tastes.
[10:12] Glenn
Oh, by the way,
[10:14] ---
if this all works out, I'd gladly give a
congratulatory speech at your weddi—
[10:18] Sisti
You jerk!
[10:21] Re=L
Sistine is pretty mad.
[10:24] Re=L
Why?
[10:26] Rumia
I-I think this is turning into a big deal.
[10:32] Leos
And that is how we explain Zaiser's formula
[10:35] ---
for magic energy transduction performance.
[10:38] ---
Until recently, most assault
spells used by the military
[10:43] ---
in the Empire were one of three
types: heat, cold, or shock.
[10:48] ---
Now I hope you'll all understand why.
[10:50] ---
Even with elementary spells like
Shock Bolt, you should be able
[10:54] ---
to increase the output significantly
if you've understood my lecture.
[10:58] ---
As far as military magic is concerned,
wind spells are weak.
[11:02] ---
Yet they do have their merits.
[11:03] ---
Next time, I'll be discussing what those are.
[11:06] ---
It's time.
[11:08] ---
Thank you for listening to my lecture.
[11:11] Girl
I love you, Leos-sensei!
[11:16] Glenn
That was perfect.
[11:18] Glenn
He easily helped the students perfectly
understand the Material Force Theory
[11:23] ---
that over half of the military's common
mage troops don't quite understand.
[11:27] Glenn
But even so, it's too early
for them to be learning that.
[11:31] Glenn
A smart student would start realizing
[11:34] ---
that depending on how it's used,
even Shock Bolt can kill a person.
[11:38] Glenn
But these kids don't yet understand
what it means to wield great power,
[11:43] ---
or what it can bring about.
They only know it exists.
[11:48] Rumia
I take it you don't really want to
acknowledge that sort of lesson?
[11:52] Glenn
Not so much.
[11:53] Rumia
Every day, you're always telling us
to think about the meaning of power,
[11:58] ---
and how to use it, but not let it use us.
[12:01] Rumia
Now I think I understand what you mean.
[12:05] Rumia
It's all right.
[12:06] Rumia
At the very least, none of the students
you've taught will make that mistake.
[12:11] Glenn
Whatever. I'm just jealous that handsome
guy is more capable than I thought.
[12:17] Glenn
Good for you, white cat.
[12:19] Glenn
You got a really good deal.
[12:21] Sisti
Cut it out.
[12:23] Leos
Sistine, how was it?
[12:27] Leos
I want to hear your frank opinion.
[12:29] Sisti
Huh? Um...
[12:30] Sisti
It was quite wonderful.
[12:32] Leos
That's good. After all,
[12:35] Leos
you're famous for making teachers cry.
[12:37] Sisti
That's...
[12:38] Leos
So I've cleared the first hurdle on my way
to becoming a suitable husband for you,
[12:43] Leos
I suppose?
[12:44] Sisti
I told you not to talk about that in public!
[12:48] Leos
Sistine, would you mind joining
me for a walk outside?
[12:51] Leos
I'd like to have a talk with you.
[12:54] Sisti
Well...
[12:55] Sisti
Does it have to be now?
[12:57] Leos
It doesn't have to be now,
[13:00] ---
but it's something important
we must discuss eventually.
[13:05] Sisti
Sorry, Rumia.
[13:06] Sisti
I'll be right back.
[13:07] Rumia
S-Sure.
[13:08] Leos
Well, then...
[13:15] Rumia
Oh, Sensei.
[13:16] Glenn
What?
[13:17] Rumia
I have a favor to ask you.
[13:27] Leos
Doesn't walking together like
this remind you of our past?
[13:32] Sisti
Yes.
[13:39] Leos
The passage of time is cruel, isn't it?
[13:42] Leos
I was so convinced our relationship would
last that I never had the slightest doubt.
[13:47] Sisti
Yes. If we just let time continue to pass,
[13:50] Sisti
I'm sure our relationship would become no
more than a fun memory of our childhood
[13:56] ---
that neither of us would think about much.
[14:02] Glenn
Why do I have to go and peep
on someone else's romance?
[14:06] Rumia
I'm sorry.
[14:07] Glenn
I'm not interested in stuff like this at all.
[14:11] Leos
I believe there's a way to keep those
memories from becoming mere memories.
[14:17] Leos
Sistine...
[14:21] Leos
Please marry me.
[14:26] Glenn
Whoa!
[14:28] Glenn
He suddenly proposed to her!
[14:31] Glenn
Now it's starting to get exciting!
[14:35] Glenn
What is it, Rumia?
[14:37] Rumia
I'm not quite sure what it is,
but I have a bad feeling...
[14:41] Glenn
Good grief. Women's intuition?
[14:44] Glenn
Well, setting that aside,
this is too interesting right now.
[14:48] Sisti
I-I...
[14:50] Sisti
I'm sorry, Leos. I can't accept
your marriage proposal.
[14:54] Leos
What?
[14:55] Glenn
What?
[14:57] Leos
Why not?
[14:58] Sisti
I made a promise to my grandfather
[15:00] Sisti
that I would unravel the mystery
of Melgalius's Sky Castle.
[15:04] Sisti
I have to learn a lot more about
magic in order to achieve that.
[15:09] Sisti
So...
[15:12] Leos
You haven't changed.
[15:13] Leos
You're still talking about that fantasy?
[15:17] Sisti
Huh?
[15:18] Leos
Magic archaeology...
[15:20] Leos
The exploration of ancient ruins
and excavation of artifacts.
[15:24] Leos
The ultimate goal is to
unravel the mysteries of
[15:27] ---
ancient civilization and
recreate ancient magic.
[15:29] Leos
Yet not one person has
managed to accomplish that.
[15:33] Leos
Which means it's impossible and meaningless.
[15:36] Leos
To waste your life on such a thing...
[15:38] Leos
It's too sad.
[15:41] Sisti
Such a thing?
[15:43] Leos
If your grandfather hadn't
been so focused on that,
[15:47] ---
he would've accomplished
much more in Magic History.
[15:52] Leos
Sistine, would you please lend me
your support in my specialty,
[15:56] ---
the research of military magic?
[16:03] Sisti
I'm sorry, Leos.
[16:04] Sisti
Just as you have your dreams,
I can't give up on mine.
[16:09] Leos
I simply don't want you to waste your life.
[16:16] Glenn
Quit spewing lies, you shitbag!
[16:20] Sisti
Sensei?!
[16:21] Glenn
You just walk the path you believe in.
[16:23] Glenn
And don't forget, you're the main
character in your own life story!
[16:28] Glenn
Nailed it.
[16:29] Leos
You again?
[16:31] Leos
And peeping on us this time?
[16:33] Leos
I beg your pardon, but this
is no business of yours.
[16:36] Leos
I ask that you stay out of this.
[16:37] Glenn
Tsk.
[16:41] Sisti
No, it is his business.
[16:45] Glenn
White cat?
[16:47] Leos
Sistine, what do you mean?
[16:49] Sistine
I mean, well...
[16:53] Sistine
Sensei and I...
[16:56] Sistine
are lovers who've sworn our
futures to one another!
[17:04] Sistine
That's why I can't marry you!
[17:11] Glenn
There you have it, Leos-san.
[17:17] Leos
Lies! My Sistine would never
fall for a crude man like you!
[17:20] Glenn
It's not a lie!
[17:22] Glenn
After all, just last night, this cute
little white cat shared my bed.
[17:26] Sisti
You jerk!
[17:28] Sisti
That's just going way too far!
Besides, so far we've only kissed—
[17:31] Leos
Kissed?!
[17:32] Leos
Is that true?!
[17:33] Sisti
Uh... Th-That was a lie.
[17:35] Sisti
Though not quite, um, well...
[17:37] Glenn
There you have it. The white cat's my bride.
[17:40] Glenn
Give up on her.
[17:41] Leos
I will not.
[17:43] Leos
One who truly cares about Sistine
[17:45] ---
would want to show her
reality before it's too late.
[17:47] Leos
You are not fit to be with Sistine!
[17:49] Glenn
Still, I'm the one the white cat's chosen here.
[17:53] Leos
Prepare yourself, Glenn Radars!
[17:56] Leos
You will regret making an enemy of me!
[17:59] Sistine
Hold on, Leos.
[18:01] Glenn
So that's your true nature, then.
[18:03] Glenn
Now I really understand.
[18:05] Glenn
I can't hand the white cat over to you.
[18:08] Sisti
Sensei?
[18:09] Glenn
Looks like we need to make this clear.
[18:13] Glenn
A duel.
[18:14] Glenn
Will you accept?
[18:16] Leos
I couldn't ask for more.
[18:22] Leos
Let's discuss the date and nature
of our duel at a later date.
[18:25] Leos
Pardon me.
[18:33] Glenn
I've done it now!
[18:34] Sistine
Don't give me that!
[18:36] Glenn
It's too late now.
[18:37] Glenn
Though, thinking about it, this is my chance!
[18:39] Glenn
If you're my wife, I won't have to work!
[18:42] Glenn
I'll be marrying into money—
[18:43] Sisti
You jerk!
[18:48] Glenn
Therefore, so that I can pair off
with the white cat, get rich,
[18:52] ---
and live a shut-in's work-free life,
[18:55] ---
I'm going to give you all special
training in mage squad combat!
[19:01] Wendy
Sistine, what's this about?
[19:03] Student
Why are you getting us involved?
[19:05] Student
This duel was your own idea!
[19:07] Glenn
There's nothing I can do about it.
[19:09] Glenn
That damn Leos insisted on competing
with our skills as magic instructors.
[19:13] Gibul
Wouldn't that mean we don't
stand a chance at all?
[19:16] Gibul
This class isn't strong enough.
[19:18] Glenn
That's why we're training!
[19:20] All
Huh?!
[19:22] Glenn
Well, I won't forget about you guys
after I've married into money.
[19:32] Albert
Sounds like you're making another
big production out of this.
[19:35] Albert
Competing over a woman you
aren't even in love with...
[19:38] Albert
You're the lowest of the low.
[19:39] Albert
Don't you feel a little sorry for her?
[19:42] Glenn
Who cares?
[19:43] Glenn
If I win, I won't have to work anymore.
[19:47] Glenn
More importantly, why'd you
make contact with me again?
[19:52] Albert
I received word that "Angel's Dust"
has been smuggled into this city.
[19:57] Glenn
No way...
[19:58] Glenn
I thought the method for creating Angel's Dust
was destroyed in that incident last year?
[20:03] Albert
Yeah, it should've been.
[20:05] Glenn
Humans injected with that drug become
ruined husks for others to control...
[20:10] Glenn
That case disgusted me.
[20:12] Albert
I refuse.
[20:13] Glenn
I haven't said anything yet.
[20:15] Albert
I can see through you.
[20:16] Albert
You want to join the investigation, right?
[20:19] Albert
I actually came here to tell
you not to get involved.
[20:24] Albert
Hearing that it's being used again
[20:26] Albert
makes me wonder what Sara died for, honestly.
[20:29] Glenn
I don't want that to ever happen again.
[20:32] Glenn
That's why I...
[20:34] Albert
Again, huh?
[20:36] Albert
Hmph.
[20:37] Albert
You really are seeing Sara in that girl.
[20:41] Glenn
Be quiet!
[20:53] Sara
I like it.
[20:55] Sara
Your dream is really wonderful, Glenn-kun.
[20:59] (Flashback) Sara
To be a mage of justice
that saves everyone...
[21:03] (Flashback) Sara
Sometimes, I wish there was
someone like that around.
[21:07] (Flashback) Sara
So I think you can take more
pride in that, Glenn-kun.
[21:11] (Flashback) Glenn
Hmph. Shut up, white dog.
[21:16] (Flashback) Sara
Given the job we do, someday I, too...
[21:19] (Flashback) Glenn
It's all right.
[21:21] (Flashback) Glenn
Don't worry, Sara.
[21:22] (Flashback) Glenn
I'll protec—
[21:23] (Flashback) Sara
Huh?
[21:24] (Flashback) Glenn
No, it's nothing.
[21:26] (Flashback) Sara
Huh?
[21:27] (Flashback) Sara
What were you about to say?
[21:29] Glenn
I said it's nothing!
[21:43] Jatice
How was it, Leos?
[21:46] Leos
Just as you said.
[21:50] Leos
It went exactly as you thought it would.
[21:53] Leos
The man called Glenn
challenged me to a duel.
[21:56] Leos
Are you some kind of prophet?
[21:58] Jatice
No, I'm not.
[22:01] Jatice
Leos, dance your best against Glenn for me.
[22:05] Jatice
You'll be the foundation of my justice.

[23:45] Sisti
He really is a dumb,
irresponsible, cynical man!
[23:48] Sara
He hasn't changed even after
becoming a teacher, huh?
[23:51] Sisti
He calls me "white cat," you know.
[23:53] Sisti
I'm not cat-like at all!
[23:55] Sara
He used to call me "white dog," too.
[23:57] Sara
He said I was dog-like.
[24:00] Sisti
So rude, right?
[24:01] ---
It's just childish. Doesn't he
realize he's a teacher now?
[24:04] Sisti
Whenever he opens his mouth it's always,
"I'm tired," "I'm worn out," or "I'm not into it."

Right?

[00:03] Halley
As the name "mage corps battle" suggests,
[00:07] ---
this will be a battle
between divisions of mages.
[00:09] Halley
Students, you will march under the orders
of the teachers, your commanders.
[00:14] Halley
Student spells will be
viewed as military magic,
[00:16] ---
so those students judged as "dead"
should leave the battlefield at once.
[00:21] Halley
The key to this battle will be
how the commanders choose
[00:26] ---
when and where to deploy their forces.
[00:28] Halley
This mock battle will last three hours.
[00:30] Halley
The winner will be the side that
takes control of the enemy base
[00:33] ---
or defeats the instructor serving
as the opponent's commander.
[00:38] Glenn
Man, thanks for the detailed
explanation, Harvest-senpai!
[00:44] Halley
To think you're using the classes of this
noble academy in your duel over a woman...
[00:49] Halley
Have some shame, Glenn Radars!
[00:51] Halley
Leos-sensei, I have high hopes for you!
[00:54] Halley
Please show this scumbag what for!
[00:57] Leos
Of course.
[01:00] Leos
Sistine...
[01:01] Leos
There's no need to worry about me.
[01:04] Leos
Please give this fight your all.
[01:07] Leos
I will overcome any obstacle
before me to win your hand.
[01:13] Sisti
Leos...
[01:14] Glenn
All right, you guys!
[01:16] Glenn
Lend me your power so I can marry into money!
[01:20] Men
Wouldn't we be better off losing here?!
[01:24] Wendy
So, Sistine, do you really plan
on marrying whoever wins?
[01:29] Sisti
Marry?!
[01:30] Sisti
Of course I don't!
[01:32] Sisti
I still have a lot left to do with my life!
[01:34] Sisti
Besides, those two are both just
getting carried away on their own.
[01:38] Sisti
But maybe Sensei really...
[01:55] Sisti
What nonsense is going through my head?!
Wh-Why would I marry him?!
[02:01] Re=L
Sistine's acting odd. She's turning red,
getting mad, shouting...
[02:07] Re=L
Is she sick?
[02:08] Rumia
Hmm, maybe in a sense.

Class 2's Ken-kun and Chris-kun
take direct hits from spells.

Both are out of the battle!
[04:25] Ars
As expected from this academy's
proud and strong Class 4,
[04:28] Ars
their magic power and precision
far exceeds Class 2's!

Plus, they execute the three-man cell tactic,
[04:34] ---
a fundamental strategy in mage
corps battles, splendidly well!
[04:42] (Flashback) Leos
What I'll be teaching you is the most
important tactic in modern mage combat.
[04:50] (Flashback) Leos
The front-line attacker attacks,
[04:52] (Flashback) Leos
the front-line defender defends,
[04:54] (Flashback) Leos
and the rear supporter adapts
to the situation and supports
[04:57] (Flashback) ---
both front-liners with spells.
[04:59] (Flashback) Leos
This tactical unit of three,
the three-man cell,

is the most fundamental strategy
of modern mage combat.
[05:06] (Flashback) Gibul
Having each member specialize
and focus on their role
[05:09] (Flashback) ---
gives them an overwhelming
advantage against numbers...

Is that what you're saying?
[05:15] (Flashback) Glenn
Exactly.
[05:17] (Flashback) Glenn
Three lives are staked
on each person's actions.
[05:20] (Flashback) Glenn
Those with strong egos who can't
act in concert with others
[05:25] (Flashback) ---
will put everyone's lives in danger.
[05:30] (Flashback) Glenn
There are no heroes on a mage's battlefield.
[05:33] (Flashback) Glenn
Make sure you remember that.
[05:37] Leos
Twelve to the central plains, eight to
the forest, and one to the hills, eh?
[05:43] Leos
I suppose three-man cells were a bit
too difficult for Class 2 to manage.
[05:49] Ars
Leos-sensei makes his move!
[05:51] Ars
He's deploying more troops than Class 2 to
each field, aiming to eliminate each unit.
[05:57] Teachers
Looks like this may be settled quickly.
[06:00] Teachers
Leos-dono's command and Class 4's
movements are both splendid.
[06:05] Teachers
Compared to them, Class 2 is uncoordinated.
[06:09] Teachers
Looks like Glenn-sensei wasn't
well-versed in mage combat tactics.
[06:13] Halley
Leos-dono is the top
military magic researcher.
[06:17] Halley
And he commands Class 4, whose students
all exceed Class 2 on an individual basis.
[06:21] ---
There's no reason he should lose.
[06:24] Halley
But he's up against...
[06:28] Ars
Both armies are exchanging
intense blows at close range!
[06:31] Class 4
Thunder sprites, shock!
[06:32] Class 4
Pay heed, great wind!
[06:33] Class 4
White winter storm, pay heed!
[06:35] Alf
Wall of great wind!
[06:36] Bix
W-W-Wall of great wind!
[06:38] Ars
Yet Class 2 is putting up a surprising fight!
[06:41] Ars
They aren't breaking!
[06:43] Class 4
Damn it! What's going on?!
[06:44] Class 4
We're supposed to have the
advantage in combat strength!
[06:47] Gibul
Hmph. Of course.
[06:50] (Flashback) Gibul
There are no heroes on a mage's battlefield...
[06:53] (Flashback) Gibul
So you're saying we should set our egos
aside and form three-man cells?
[06:58] (Flashback) Glenn
Huh? There's no way you guys can
pull off the three-man cell tactic.
[07:03] (Flashback) Glenn
That's for pros, and even then,
only after a lot of training.
[07:07] (Flashback) Kash
So what should we do, then?
[07:10] (Flashback) Glenn
Oh, that's easy.
[07:13] Kash
Thunder sprites, shock!
[07:15] Gibul
Wall of great wind!
[07:20] Teacher
Two-man cells?!
[07:21] Halley
It's true that the two-man cell
tactic is less complicated
[07:26] ---
and easier for students to execute
with minimal training time.
[07:29] Teacher
Still, that's an unforgivable affront
to the proud history of our
[07:34] ---
Alzano Imperial Magic Academy!
[07:36] Halley
He'll use any means necessary to win.
[07:40] Halley
That's the kind of man Glenn Radars is.
[07:43] Leos
My goodness. So that's your play?
[07:46] Leos
Get some distance and shift to
long-range sniping from the hills.
[07:51] Leos
Rito-kun, how goes the subjugation?
[07:53] Rito
W-Well...
[07:55] Class4
Thunder sprites, shock!
[07:56] Rito
There's only one here, but she's a monster!
[07:56] Class4
Thunder sprites, shock!
[07:57] Class4
Thunder sprites, shock!
[07:59] Rito
This is impossible for us!
[08:04] Leos
You even had pawns like that, Glenn-sensei?
[08:08] Leos
Oh, well.
[08:10] Leos
Begin moving all troops to the forest.
[08:13] Leos
I'll use my woodland tactics and
wipe out Class 2 all at once.
[08:17] Rukia
We've got trouble, Leos-sensei!
[08:20] Glenn
Behold, all of you!
[08:22] Glenn
Your enemy's grand commander, the great
teacher Glenn Radars, is right here!
[08:26] Glenn
Those who think they can,
come and claim my head!
[08:32] Ars
Wow! Commander Glenn-sensei is
taking to the front lines himself!
[08:37] Rukia
After him! Take down Glenn-sensei!
[08:39] Student
If we take down their commander, we win!
[08:42] Student
Thunder sprites, shock!
[08:50] Rukia
What is this?!
[08:52] Rukia
Retreat, retreat!
[08:58] Glenn
I'm awesome at guerrilla-style
battles like this!
[09:03] Gibul
What are you doing all by yourself?
[09:05] Kash
I thought there weren't any
heroes on a mage's battlefield.
[09:09] Leos
Rukia-kun? Rukia-kun?
[09:11] Glenn
Yes, yes, Glenn-kun here!
[09:14] Leos
Glenn-sensei...
[09:16] Leos
You set traps on this battlefield
beforehand, didn't you?
[09:19] Glenn
What do you mean?
[09:20] Glenn
The traps someone happened
to set as a hobby
[09:23] ---
just happened to go off, that's all.
[09:28] Sisti
Thunder sprites, shock!
[09:32] Sisti
Who's next?
[09:34] Student
Run!
[09:37] Sisti
He's scum...
[09:39] Sisti
Does he want to win so badly
that he'd use such dirty tricks?
[09:47] Sisti
I feel like such an idiot.
[09:50] Rumia
Sisti...
[09:51] Glenn
All right, now just run with all you've got!
[09:55] Leos
Everyone, force your way through!
[09:58] Class4
Thunder sprites, shock!
[10:00] Class2
Wall of great wind!
[10:09] Halley
Both sides, that's it!
[10:11] Halley
Since the match wasn't settled
within the time limit,
[10:14] ---
this duel ends in a draw. That is all!
[10:17] Cecil
Ah, I'm beat.
[10:19] Kash
I managed to survive somehow!
[10:21] Glenn
You all did well out there.
[10:23] Glenn
Performing that well against
Leos is more than enough.
[10:27] Kash
But Sensei, are you okay with a draw?
[10:30] Wendy
Wasn't Sistine on the line for you in this duel?
[10:35] Glenn
Well...
[10:37] Leos
What was that pathetic
performance all about?
[10:40] Leos
If you all had followed my orders,
you would've won!
[10:48] Kash
He's kind of a jerk.
[10:50] Both
Yeah.
[10:51] Glenn
Hey, hey, aren't you
barking up the wrong tree?
[10:54] Glenn
A commander is responsible
for the failure of his troops.
[10:56] Leos
I would rather you kept
your opinion to yourself.
[11:02] Glenn
You don't look so well. Are you all ri—
[11:06] Leos
Glenn Radars, our duel
still hasn't been settled.
[11:09] Leos
I want a rematch.
[11:11] Leos
This time, I challenge you to a duel.
[11:14] Glenn
You still haven't given up on the white cat?
[11:16] Leos
Of course not.
[11:18] ---
Not until I convince Sistine to give up on
magic archaeology and become my bride.
[11:23] Glenn
Fine.
[11:24] Glenn
I haven't given up on marrying
into money, either.
[11:28] Sisti
Cut this out!
[11:32] Sisti
How dare you two get so heated over this?
[11:34] Sisti
I'm not an object!
[11:36] Sisti
Besides, Glenn-sensei!
[11:38] Sisti
What was with that cowardly way of fighting?!
[11:40] Sisti
Did you think I'd accept a proposal
from someone who won that wa—
[11:43] Glenn
Our duel will be early tomorrow morning,
[11:46] Glenn
in the academy's backyard.
[11:48] Glenn
This time, it's one-on-one.
[11:51] Leos
You're sure?
[11:53] Glenn
If I win, I can play around
for the rest of my life.
[11:56] Glenn
How can I not put myself on the li—
[12:03] Sisti
I hate you.
[12:07] Rumia
Sisti!
[12:14] Glenn
Well, today's mage combat
practice is now over!
[12:18] Glenn
Time to leave!
[12:26] Sisti
What is with him?
All that marrying into money talk...
[12:30] Sisti
Is that all he sees in me?!
[12:32] Rumia
Stop, Sisti.
[12:34] Sisti
Huh?
[12:35] Rumia
You know better than anyone that Sensei
isn't that kind of person, don't you?
[12:51] Sisti
Then why did Sensei challenge him to a duel?
[12:55] (Flashback) Leos
You're still talking about that fantasy?
[12:59] Rumia
Well, who knows why?
[13:02] Rumia
But there must be some reason
for our lazy Sensei
[13:07] ---
to go out of his way to accept a duel.
[13:13] Rumia
So try actually talking to Sensei.
[13:17] Sisti
Huh?
[13:18] Rumia
I don't want to see you start hating
Sensei without knowing why.
[13:25] Rumia
Because I want you and Sensei to keep
getting along like you usually do.
[13:29] Sisti
Rumia...
[13:31] Rumia
Okay?
[13:35] Sisti
Yeah, I get it.
[13:40] Rumia
I need to talk to Sensei, too.
[13:42] Rumia
About that unpleasant air
I felt around Leos-sensei.
[13:47] Rumia
What was that, anyway?
[13:56] Bernard
Well, this is another classic case.
[14:04] Bernard
An Angel's Dust addict,
[14:07] Bernard
and the pathetic end they meet.
[14:10] Kristof
I heard the rumors, but I didn't
think it was this awful.
[14:15] Albert
Still, this makes the fifth case.
[14:18] Bernard
That drug might have spread
farther than we thought.
[14:24] Albert
Angel's Dust...
[14:26] Albert
Who on earth would...
[14:29] Leos
Damn that Glenn Radars!
[14:31] Leos
Truly an irritating man!
[14:34] Servant
That's the kind of man he is.
[14:37] Servant
As a mage, he can't hold a candle to you.
[14:41] Servant
But even when fated to lose
99 out of 100 battles,
[14:45] ---
he will always pull out that
single victory in the first round.
[14:50] Leos
You value Glenn-sensei
an awful lot, don't you?
[14:54] Servant
If I didn't, there'd be no point in
taking such roundabout methods.
[14:57] Leos
Still, that third-rate mage
is no match for me.
[15:02] Leos
This time, Sistine will be mine.
[15:05] Leos
Once I have her,
[15:07] ---
the main Kleitos family will have the full
advantage over that detestable branch family,
[15:13] Leos
and my seat as our next family
leader will be secure.
[15:27] Glenn
Good grief.
[15:31] Glenn
Now it'll all be over tomorrow.
[15:35] Glenn
Sorry, Leos. I don't care how great a
difference there is in our magical talents.
[15:40] ---
I don't intend to lose to someone
who does nothing but research.
[15:44] Glenn
Still, this all leaves a
bitter taste in my mouth.
[15:49] Glenn
I've done wrong by the white cat,
but this is probably for the best.
[15:56] Glenn
Right, Sara?
[15:59] Sisti
It's not.
[16:05] Glenn
White cat?!
[16:07] Sisti
What do you mean, you've done wrong by me?
[16:10] Sisti
And who's Sara?
[16:14] Sisti
Would you tell me?
[16:16] Sisti
Why did you challenge Leos to a duel?
[16:18] Glenn
I've told you over and over!
So I can marry into money!
[16:23] Glenn
It's a chance to not have to work anymore,
so I'm taking advantage of it.
[16:34] Glenn
You're so much like Sara.
[16:42] Glenn
Long, long ago, there was a stupid brat.
[16:47] Glenn
This stupid brat admired "mages of justice"
and studied as hard as he could,
[16:53] Glenn
eventually becoming a mage
in the Imperial Army.
[16:58] Glenn
However,
[17:00] Glenn
this stupid brat was dismayed by the
limits of magic and his bloody reality.
[17:05] Glenn
He came to hate the magic he once loved.
[17:10] Glenn
Still, the stupid brat never
gave up on his own dream,
[17:15] Glenn
because he had a friend who
supported that dream of his.
[17:20] Sisti
Sensei, is that story...
[17:23] Glenn
However, on a certain mission,
[17:26] ---
that stupid brat foolishly let that girl die.
[17:32] Glenn
The stupid brat grew fed up with everything,
[17:36] ---
gave up being a mage,
and became an unemployed shut-in.
[17:40] Glenn
And all's well that ends well.
[17:42] Sisti
Sensei...
[17:44] Glenn
Frankly, I don't really understand myself
[17:47] Glenn
what it was I wanted to do.
[17:50] Glenn
Maybe I had hopes for you, with how
earnestly you try to realize your dream.
[17:54] Glenn
Or maybe I wanted to atone for
Sara by protecting your dream.
[18:00] Glenn
What I know is that it really ticked me off
when that Leos bastard denied your dream.
[18:06] Glenn
Before I knew it, I'd already thrown my glove.
[18:10] Glenn
I wanted to see tears on that
man's face, no matter what.
[18:14] Glenn
That's all.
[18:16] Sisti
So in the end, it was all
out of personal emotion?
[18:20] Glenn
Well, one could say that.
[18:22] Sisti
How stupid. That's just like a kid.
[18:24] Glenn
My ears are burning.
[18:28] Sisti
Still, I think I'm a little happy.
[18:33] Sisti
Well, what Leos said is true, after all.
[18:39] Sisti
I'm nothing compared to
my grandfather, frankly.
[18:43] ---
And the more I study magic, the more
it feels like I might lose heart.
[18:48] Sisti
But it looks like there's one
person who supports my dream
[18:52] ---
out of nothing but personal emotion.
[18:57] Sisti
So I need to keep working hard.
[18:59] Sisti
The ones who accomplish something are the
fools that keep pressing onward, after all.
[19:06] Glenn
White cat...
[19:19] Glenn
Well, of course!
[19:20] Glenn
It's a teacher's job to support
the dreams of his students!
[19:24] Sisti
Jeez, don't get full of yourself.
[19:27] Sisti
I swear! What was that
about marrying into money?
[19:29] Sisti
Wasn't there another way to put it?
[19:31] Glenn
I might have been pretty serious
about marrying into money,
[19:33] Glenn
if the chance presented itself.
[19:35] Sisti
What?!
[19:37] Leos
You are truly a cowardly man, Glenn Radars.
[19:42] Leos
You cleverly speak of your past
as if it were a moving tale,
[19:47] Leos
trying to garner Sistine's
compassion and sympathy.
[19:50] Sisti
Leos?!
[19:51] Leos
Glenn-sensei, since my work involves
researching military magic,
[19:56] Leos
I've had the chance to touch on the
Imperial Army's confidential information.
[20:00] Leos
I know what you've done in your past.
[20:05] Leos
Isn't that right, Glenn the Fool?
[20:10] Glenn
I'm warning you. Shut your mouth
at once and leave this place.
[20:14] Leos
You're a man
[20:16] ---
who doesn't actually have the
right to live in the light like this.
[20:20] Leos
What could you possibly teach your students
with those bloodied hands of yours?
[20:25] Glenn
I told you to shut up.
This is your second warning.
[20:30] Glenn
If you say any more, we won't need
to wait for our duel tomorrow.
[20:35] Glenn
I'll settle it here and now.
[20:37] Sisti
S-Sensei?
[20:39] Leos
There's a place and position you're
better suited for, isn't there?
[20:44] Leos
Go home to it,
[20:45] Leos
former Imperial Mage Corps Special Forces #0,
[20:51] ---
"The Fool," Glenn Radars.
[20:54] Glenn
That's the third.
[20:56] Glenn
You were warned.
[20:59] Leos
My, my, we mustn't resort to violence.
[21:02] Glenn
The Imperial Army's close combat style?!
[21:04] Glenn
No way...
[21:05] Sisti
Sensei!
[21:15] Glenn
No way!
[21:16] Glenn
Tulpas?!
[21:17] Sisti
Tulpas?
[21:19] Sisti
That's a technique for manifesting
imaginary beings in this world
[21:23] ---
through powerful suggestion
while in a trance!
[21:30] Leos
Exactly. You've studied well, Sistine.
[21:35] Leos
It's a secret art of alchemy
[21:37] Leos
for the artificial creation
of spirits, demons, and gods.
[21:40] Leos
That's a tulpa.
[21:42] Leos
Tulpas are powerful.
[21:44] Leos
Especially against you, Glenn-sensei.
[21:49] Leos
It uses the strengthened imagination
[21:51] ---
of a trance state instead of spell chant.
[21:54] Leos
Since it's not a spell, your
"Fool's World" won't work!
[21:59] Sisti
Sensei!
[22:05] Leos
I know that you're supposed
to be better than this.
[22:10] Leos
I hope you'll take our
duel tomorrow seriously.
[22:25] Sisti
Sensei!
[22:26] Leos
Leave the whipped dog be.
[22:28] Sisti
Let go of me, Leos!
[22:30] Leos
I need to speak with you, Sistine.
[22:32] Sisti
Let me go!
[22:33] Leos
Shut up, little girl.
[22:35] Leos
I'll make it so no one can
ever see your face again!
[22:39] Sisti
Leos?
[22:41] Leos
Please marry me.
[22:43] Leos
You don't have the right to decline.
[22:46] Leos
Your precious friend, Rumia Tingel...
[22:50] Leos
You want to keep her identity
and power a secret, don't you?
[22:55] Sisti
How do you...
[22:57] Leos
And Re=L Rayford...
[22:59] Leos
I'm sure there's a whole slew
of underground organizations
[23:02] ---
that would love to use her as a lab rat.
[23:05] Sisti
This isn't the Leos I know.
[23:08] Leos
You'll accept my proposal, won't you?
[23:12] Leos
After all, we both love each other.
[23:15] Sisti
Save me, Sensei!
[23:26] Sisti
But Sensei never showed up for the duel.
[23:30] Sisti
And Sensei never returned
to the academy after that.

Sistine accepted Leos-sensei's proposal!

That's awfully sudden.

They were already engaged, anyway.

It's nothing to make a fuss over.

Are you serious about this marriage?

Yes.

Oh, that.

Who is it? So noisy...
[02:39] (Flashback) Glenn
Rumia...
[02:40] (Flashback) Rumia
Sensei, if we don't do something, Sisti will...
[02:44] Rumia
I told Sensei everything I knew, and then...
[02:51] (Flashback) Glenn
Leave it to me.
[02:53] Rumia
Afterward, he went to Re=L and
told her to stay with me.
[02:59] ---
Then he disappeared.
[03:03] Rumia
It'll be all right.
[03:05] Rumia
He told me to leave it to him,
so let's have faith and wait for him!
[03:22] Sistine
Rumia, Re=L...
[03:26] Rumia
Sisti! You're so pretty!
[03:29] Re=L
How nice.
[03:30] Re=L
That frilly outfit seems hard to fight in,
but I'd still love to wear it.
[03:36] Sisti
Don't worry.
[03:37] Sisti
I'm sure you'll wear your own one day.
[03:42] Rumia
Hey, Sisti...
[03:43] Sitine
The ceremony's about to start,
so go find some seats.
[03:48] Rumia
Sisti...
[03:57] Priest
Will you take her for your wife,
to have and to hold,
[04:01] ---
from this day forward,
for better or for worse,
[04:04] ---
for richer or for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
[04:06] Wendy
I can't believe there's no
one in the groom's seats.
[04:09] Wendy
What's the meaning of this?
[04:11] ---
to love and cherish, until death do you part?
[04:15] Leos
I do.
[04:19] (Flashback) Leos
Your friend Rumia Tingel's
identity and powers,
[04:22] (Flashback) ---
and Re=L Rayford's relation to
Project Revive Life, was it?
[04:30] Sistine
I do.
[04:31] Priest
You may now kiss the bride.
[04:45] Glenn
Hold it right there!
[04:50] Glenn
I object to this wedding!
[04:53] Glenn
I strongly oppose this marriage!
[04:56] Glenn
Leos, I won't hand the white cat
over to the likes of you!
[05:01] Kash
Yeah!
[05:02] Both
Yes!
[05:03] Wendy
He did it!
[05:05] Glenn
Re=L, take care of Rumia.
[05:07] Re=L
Leave it to me.
[05:08] Rumia
Sensei!
[05:11] Glenn
Later!
[05:17] Sistine
Sensei!
[05:18] Sistine
Let go!
[05:18] Sistine
Let go of me!
[05:19] Sistine
That's enough already!
[05:21] Glenn
I really have to wonder how
things turned out this way.
[05:25] Glenn
There.
[05:26] Sistine
I hate you!
[05:28] Sistine
I'm marrying Leos!
[05:31] Sistine
If I don't...
[05:33] Glenn
I figured.
[05:34] Glenn
He was using Rumia to
threaten you, wasn't he?
[05:38] Glenn
I suspected something like that was up.
[05:41] Sisti
Where have you been all this time?
[05:45] Sisti
I... I...
[05:48] Glenn
Sorry. I got held up.
[05:52] Glenn
After Rumia told me what was going on,
[05:54] ---
I thought about how
I could bring you back.
[05:58] Glenn
The only thing I knew was
that I'd be the one defeated
[06:02] ---
if I didn't take the fight seriously.
[06:04] Glenn
That was it.
[06:15] Glenn
I feel like I'm back in those days.
[06:19] Glenn
But how well will this toy work on him?
[06:24] Glenn
In any case, I need to lure Leos out to where
I have the advantage and defeat him.
[06:29] Glenn
That's all.
[06:31] Glenn
White cat, what do you think Leos's goal is?
[06:35] Glenn
I've been wracking my brain
over all the possibilities,
[06:37] ---
but I can't figure it out.
[06:39] Glenn
The best I could think of was
[06:41] ---
that he loves you so much he'd
resort to these reckless actions.
[06:46] Sisti
That's not it.
[06:48] Sisti
That night, I realized it.
[06:50] Sisti
That man doesn't love me at all.
[06:54] Sisti
He was cold, like a different person,
and it scared me.
[06:58] Glenn
Like a different person?
[07:02] Sisti
S-Sensei?
[07:04] Glenn
Terminal addicts?
[07:07] Glenn
Why is Angel's Dust showing up now?
[07:12] Sisti
S-Sensei?
[07:20] Re=L
Rumia.
[07:21] Rumia
Everyone get back!
[07:24] Re=L
I'll do it.
[07:32] Bernard
Sorry for the wait.
[07:34] Albert
Re=L, you protect everyone.
[07:36] Kristof
Leave this to us.
[07:38] Re=L
Run!
[07:39] Wendy
Yes!
[07:39] Cecil
Got it!
[07:41] Rumia
Re=L!
[07:41] Re=L
Rumia, let's go!
[07:43] Rumia
Yeah!
[07:46] Albert
Now, let's get started.
[07:49] Both
Yeah!
[07:53] Glenn
Stop!
[07:57] Glenn
We're trapped.
[07:59] Sistine
Sensei, what on earth is
wrong with these people?
[08:02] Glenn
They're basically dead puppets,
blindly following their master's orders.
[08:07] Glenn
But forget that, white cat, and go!
[08:09] Sisti
Huh?!
[08:09] Glenn
Just hurry up and run!
[08:11] Glenn
I can't deal with all of
them while protecting you!
[08:13] Sisti
I-I'll be fine!
[08:15] Sisti
I've learned how to protect myself, too!
[08:18] Sisti
Great wind—
[08:23] Glenn
Rush forth, wind!
[08:25] Glenn
Rush and blow through,
[08:32] Glenn
piercing them!
[08:40] Glenn
White cat!
[08:42] Glenn
What are you just standing
around for?! Let's go!
[08:51] Glenn
Thunder sprites,
[08:54] Glenn
pay heed, and strike with
your electric shock!
[09:02] Glenn
Hey, get a grip!
[09:03] Glenn
This way!
[09:07] Glenn
Damn it!
[09:08] Glenn
I can't shake the feeling that
we're being herded by Leos.
[09:11] Glenn
Is he going after the white cat?
[09:14] Glenn
It's just like it was then!
[09:17] (Flashback) Glenn
Sara!
[09:21] (Flashback) Glenn
Bastards!
[09:31] Glenn
That's it!
[09:32] Glenn
That's what this is about!
[09:34] Glenn
That bastard!
[09:36] Glenn
I won't let him!
[09:37] Glenn
If I'm so half-hearted about this,
I'll fail to protect her again.
[09:41] Glenn
Recall how I was as a Imperial Court Mage!
[09:51] Sistine
I-I'm scared.
[09:54] Glenn
White cat!
[09:55] Glenn
Behind you!
[09:57] Glenn
Bastard!
[10:03] Glenn
White cat, are you all right?
[10:04] Sistine
Don't touch me!
[10:10] Glenn
You're afraid of me, white cat?
[10:16] Glenn
Sorry.
[10:17] Sisti
Um, I...
[10:23] Leos
My, but that was splendid, Glenn.
[10:26] Glenn
Damn you! Stop pretending to be Leos!
[10:29] Leos
Oh? I thought you might
realize my true identity.
[10:33] Sisti
Huh?
[10:34] Glenn
That isn't Leos.
[10:36] Glenn
It's former Imperial Court
Mage Corps Executioner #11,
[10:40] ---
Justice, Jatice Lowfan.
[10:43] Leos
You look like you're surprised
to see me still alive.
[10:50] Sisti
Wh-Where is Leos?
[10:53] Jatice
Oh, Leos?
[10:55] Jatice
I gave him my drug so he would do my bidding,
[11:00] Jatice
and then he died.
[11:02] Jatice
Though he was practically a dead man
already once I gave him Angel's Dust.
[11:07] Jatice
That was right after the mage
corps battle ended, I believe.
[11:12] Sisti
No...
[11:14] Jatice
It's been a long time, Glenn.
[11:16] Jatice
You have no idea how long I've
waited to face you again.
[11:21] Glenn
White cat, get out of here.
[11:23] Sisti
Huh?
[11:24] Glenn
This isn't a world you should
be a part of anymore.
[11:27] Jatice
Agreed. Could you disappear, in fact?
[11:30] Jatice
Your role is already over.
[11:33] Jatice
If you interfere in my battle with Glenn,
[11:36] ---
I'll kill you.
[11:38] Glenn
White cat, go!
[11:48] Glenn
Take care.
[11:50] Jatice
Still, she truly does resemble Sara.
[11:54] Glenn
You shut up!
[11:57] Glenn
You made contact with Leos,
arranged our duel,
[11:59] ---
and even used the marriage
with the white cat,
[12:01] ---
all to plot this battle with me
here and now, didn't you?!
[12:06] Jatice
Yes.
[12:07] Glenn
I guess I completely fell for
your original magic, with its
[12:11] ---
almost clairvoyant prediction of events.
[12:13] Glenn
So, what's your goal?
[12:15] Jatice
The same as it was a year ago.
[12:18] Jatice
To exact justice.
[12:20] Glenn
So you're just using justice as an excuse
[12:22] ---
to go around murdering all the
powerful mages of the army
[12:25] ---
and important figures in the empire?
[12:27] Jatice
Yes, though you've gotten
in my way partway through.
[12:32] Jatice
But this time, all will go according to plan...
[12:35] Jatice
once I obtain the Akashic Records!
[12:38] Glenn
Akashic Records?
[12:40] Jatice
Yes.
[12:41] Jatice
The power to rule over the
very principles of this world!
[12:45] Jatice
I will have it for myself!
[12:47] Jatice
Yet its power can only be held
by someone absolutely right.
[12:51] Jatice
Therefore, I have no right to
possess it until I defeat you,
[12:56] ---
the one who once defeated my justice!
[12:58] Jatice
Even if God would allow it, I will not!
[13:02] Jatice
This is not revenge against you!
It is my challenge to you!
[13:06] Jatice
I will be a mage of justice,
[13:09] ---
and exact justice upon all
the evil in this world!
[13:17] Glenn
As if that justice exists!
[13:21] Glenn
I should've realized it was you the
moment you used these that time!
[13:31] Sistine
I thought Sensei belonged
in a different world.
[13:36] Sistine
I rejected him.
[13:39] Sistine
Sensei's always risking his life
to protect us, and yet...
[13:46] Sistine
I'm a fool!
[13:48] Sistine
Why did I do that?
[13:50] Sistine
At this rate, Sensei is going
to go away somewhere.
[13:54] Sistine
But what can I do as I am now?
[13:59] Sistine
What should I do?
[14:01] Jatice
Hiding won't help you, Glenn.
[14:04] Jatice
I can keep going!
[14:06] Glenn
Rule of time, balance of the scales,
let the plate of order tip portside.
[14:17] Glenn
Silver ice wolf, race forth,
clad in blizzard!
[14:27] Jatice
You're as shrewd as ever.
[14:36] Jatice
That's how you should be!
[14:38] Glenn
Shut up!
[14:39] Glenn
Keep your damn mouth shut
when we're killing each other!
[14:48] Jatice
I win. Don't worry, I'll kill
you in one painless moment.
[14:53] Jatice
That will be my greatest
show of respect toward you.
[14:58] Jatice
Give Sara my regards in the other world.
[15:14] Sisti
I made it in time.
[15:17] Glenn
White cat!
[15:19] Glenn
You...
[15:20] Glenn
You moron!
[15:22] Glenn
Why did you come back?!
[15:23] Glenn
You don't belong in this world!
[15:25] Sistine
That's right.
[15:27] Sistine
And it's not a world you
belong in either, Sensei.
[15:30] Sistine
I came to bring you back with me.
[15:36] Sistine
You told me yourself...
[15:38] Sistine
If I want to protect Rumia, I'll need power.
[15:43] Sistine
Rumia is irreplaceable to me.
[15:46] Sistine
But so are you!
[15:50] Sistine
When you're scary, and when
you're being a loser...
[15:53] Sistine
They're both aspects of you!
[15:55] Sistine
And nothing could ever replace you!
[16:03] Sistine
So stay by our sides!
[16:07] Sistine
Don't leave us!
[16:16] Jatice
My goodness.
[16:19] Jatice
You caught me slightly off-guard.
[16:21] Sistine
Please don't mess with Sensei anymore!
[16:26] Jatice
You're a pest. Even your
personality resembles Sara's.
[16:33] Glenn
Good grief, I've lost my edge.
[16:37] Glenn
I don't need this anymore.
[16:41] Glenn
White cat, two-man cell.
[16:43] ---
I'll be vanguard. You be rear guard.
[16:46] Glenn
Can you do it?
[16:47] Glenn
I promise I'll defeat him,
even if I go down with him,
[16:51] ---
and I'll at least get you
safely back to everyone. So—
[16:55] Sisti
I won't accept that promise.
[16:58] Sisti
If you promise we'll both go back to
everyone together, then I'll gladly accept.
[17:04] Glenn
I'm counting on you, Sistine.
[17:06] Sistine
You finally used my actual name.
[17:13] Glenn
Here we go!
[17:13] Jatice
What depravity, Sistine Fibel!
[17:17] Jatice
Because of you...
[17:19] Sistine
Gather round, storm, become scattered
shells, and fire through!
[17:26] Jatice
Don't interfere with my fight with Glenn!
[17:30] Sistine
Wall of great wind, form
twofold, and protect us!
[17:38] Jatice
An immediate alteration?!
[17:39] Sistine
Wind wolf blowing down the mountains,
[17:41] ---
race forth quick and violent,
with us at your back!
[17:57] Jatice
Damn her!
[18:00] Jatice
I didn't expect her to be so skilled.
[18:02] Jatice
What a miscalculation...
[18:06] Jatice
Come!
[18:07] Jatice
The manifestation of justice
sleeping in my depths!
[18:11] Jatice
The god who belongs only to me!
[18:12] Jatice
The god of justice!
[18:14] Jatice
Eliminate those villains who bare
their fangs against my justice!
[18:19] Jatice
Lady Justice, Justia!
[18:28] Sistine
Great breath, pay heed!
[18:37] Jatice
What?!
[18:40] Jatice
Call!
[18:41] Jatice
Call!
[18:42] Jatice
Call!
[18:43] Glenn
Jatice!
[19:16] Glenn
I'll finish this.
[19:19] Jatice
Don't get full of yourself, Glenn.
[19:21] Jatice
You had the advantage because of her, right?
[19:24] Jatice
But what a shame...
[19:27] Jatice
Mana deficiency.
[19:29] Jatice
Looks like she hit her limit.
[19:32] Jatice
But in her honor,
[19:37] Jatice
I'll admit defeat for today.
[19:41] Glenn
Are you all right?
[19:42] Jatice
Glenn, you probably don't know,
[19:45] Jatice
but this empire must be destroyed.
[19:49] Jatice
Because this nation was built
with evil intentions.
[19:55] Jatice
Let us meet again, Glenn.
[19:57] Jatice
Next time, my justice will surely defeat you.
[20:01] Glenn
Shut up!
[20:03] Glenn
Never show your face again, you damn bastard!
[20:07] Glenn
Can you stand?
[20:09] Sistine
I still... can't move...
[20:15] Rumi
Sisti!
[20:17] Rumia
Thank goodness!
[20:19] Re=L
Glenn!
[20:20] Wendy
We were worried about you.
[20:22] Lynn
Sensei!
[20:23] Kash
Are you hurt?
[20:24] Cecil
Are you all right?
[20:25] Teresa
Looks like you're okay!
[20:29] Glenn
Hey, are you sure you're really all right
with having me for your teacher?
[20:34] Sistine
That's stupid.
[20:36] Sistine
The fact that I'm here beside
you should be your answer.
[20:43] Sistine
Isn't that right, Sensei?
[20:54] Glenn
Sorry. I let Jatice get away.
[20:58] Albert
It's nothing to apologize for.
[21:00] Albert
I don't recall asking you to
help us with that, anyway.
[21:02] Glenn
That bastard...
[21:04] Glenn
He's still spewing his crazy nonsense.
[21:07] Glenn
There was one thing that bothered me, though.
[21:10] (Flashback) Jatice
The power to rule over the
very principles of this world!
[21:14] (Flashback) Jatice
The Akashic Records!
[21:18] Glenn
Seems he was trying to get his hands on that.
[21:23] Albert
The Akashic Records, huh?
[21:32] Eleanor
So deep in here is the door to be opened?
[21:46] Glenn
Morning!
[21:49] Glenn
Nice weather again today, Halloween-senpai!
[21:51] Halley
It's Halley!
[21:53] Halley
You're doing that on purpose,
aren't you?! Honestly!
[21:54] Glenn
Yeah, yeah, Harem-senpai.
[21:56] Halley
Halley!
[21:57] Halley
Halley Astry!
[21:58] Halley
Besides, you're always, always,
always, always, always, alwa—
[22:05] Glenn
Celica! You're back!
[22:08] Celica
You're looking more like a teacher now.
[22:10] Glenn
I told you, didn't I?
[22:12] Glenn
I can do it if I try.
[22:14] Celica
Then I don't have to worry anymore.
[22:17] Celica
To be honest, I'm thinking of heading out
[22:19] ---
on a full exploration of the
underground labyrinth.
[22:21] Celica
I can't help but feel like there's
something I need to do there.
[22:27] Glenn
I see.
[22:28] Sisti
Sensei!
[22:29] Sisti
Hurry, hurry!
[22:33] Celica
I'm counting on you, Sensei!
[22:35] Glenn
What a pain.
[22:40] Glenn
"And the Demon Lord asked
the mage, 'What are you?
[22:45] Glenn
What drives you to such lengths?
[22:48] ---
How are you capable of all this?
[22:50] Glenn
I cannot fathom you.'
[22:54] Glenn
Then, the mage answered,
[22:57] Glenn
'That's simple, Demon Lord.
[22:59] Glenn
There are things I want to protect.
Things I must protect.
[23:03] Glenn
Those thoughts cause infinite
power to rise from my depths.
[23:10] Glenn
They enable me to rise again countless times.'"
[23:16] Glenn
Yes, countless times.
[23:28] Glenn
All right.
[23:29] Glenn
Now, then...
[23:31] Glenn
Time to start class!
