**[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."
***SIGN*** Thunder

**[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!
**[23:23] Glann**
Farewell!

I heard! You dueled your
own student and lost badly!
**[23:49] Glenn**
I didn't really lose.
**[23:50] Glenn**
It was a sneak attack.
**[23:51] Glenn**
And I wasn't in top form.
**[23:53] Celica**
How pathetic.
**[23:54] Celica**
I'm fed up with seeing you like this!
**[23:55] Glenn**
Can't hear you!

Let's at least do the preview right, okay?

**[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!
***SIGN*** illustration: Nishimata Aoi
**[23:45] Sistine**
Suddenly, a terrorist organization
appears in the school,
**[23:47] ---**
and their target is none other than Rumia!
**[23:49] Rumia**
Sisti, you can do it!
**[23:50] Sistine**
To save the students,
their bastard instructor—
**[23:52] Glenn**
Ah! It's Melgalius's Sky Castle!
***SIGN*** The white cat's
a Melgalian
**[23:53] Sistine**
T-To save the students,
th-their bastard instructor...
**[23:55] Glenn**
Incredible! How is a castle flying?!
**[23:58] Rumia**
Sisti, are you okay?
***SIGN*** The white cat's a Melgalian
**[24:00] Glenn**
Man, I'm curious!
**[24:01] Rumia**
Sisti!
**[24:02] Sistine**
Meow! Melgalius's Sky Castle is
**[24:04] ---**
a mysterious city where the ancients are
said to have lived since ancient times,
**[24:08] Sistine**
and its flight is a mystery
no one understands!

**[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
**[00:34] Glenn**
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.

This is bad. The competition's next week.

Let's all try to do our best!
**[03:31] Student**
No way.
**[03:32] S**
We'll only lose if we enter.
**[03:34] Sistine**
Winning isn't the only reason to enter.

I don't particularly want to participate.

But it's a rare opportunity.

And some of you didn't

**[03:45] S**
There's no need to go out of our way
**[03:47] ---**
to disgrace ourselves when the
queen herself is paying a visit.
**[03:50] S**
This is what happens when you try
to be nice and include everyone.
**[03:54] Sistine**
Are you being serious?
**[03:57] S**
Of course.
**[04:00] Glenn**
Leave it to me,
**[04:02] Glenn**
Great Teacher Glenn Radars!
**[04:05] Sistine**
And now he's going to make things worse.
**[04:07] Glenn**
What? You're still having
trouble with the event rosters?
***SIGN*** Duels Flight Competition Magic Sniping Long-Range Weightlifting Mental Defense Transmutation
**[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...
**[05:43] Sistine**
*He's actually...*

**[05:53] Glenn**
Now, then, anything else?
**[05:55] Glenn**
Then it's decided!
**[05:58] Glenn**
*That went well!*
**[06:00] Glenn**
*Now we can make it!*
**[06:02] (Flashback) Glenn**
I'm broke! I'll starve!
**[06:04] (Flashback) Glenn**
Give me an advance or an allowance, please!
**[06:06] (Flashback) Rick**
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**
Th-There is a special bonus you could earn.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Glenn**
A special bonus?!
**[06:28] (Flashback) Rick**
Hmm? Yes.
**[06:29] (Flashback) Rick**
The instructor responsible for the class
**[06:31] (Flashback) ---**
that wins the magic competition
being held next week
**[06:34] (Flashback) ---**
traditionally receives a special bonus.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Glenn**
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!
**[11:17] (Flashback) Rumia**
I'll be a good girl!
**[11:19] (Flashback) Rumia**
Don't hate me!
**[11:25] (Flashback) Glenn**
Don't cry.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Glenn**
Be quiet.
**[11:27] Rumia**
*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,
**[14:17] ---**
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.
**[14:29] S**
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.
**[15:32] Announcer**
Class 2's Cecil-kun has landed himself
in the top four in magical sniping!
**[15:35] Cecil**
I did it! Just like Sensei said!
**[15:39] Announcer**
Class 2!
**[15:39] Wendy**
A knight speaks only the truth,
with courage as his principle.
**[15:42] Announcer**
Correct!
**[15:43] Announcer**
Class 2's Wendy tromps the
competition in speed deciphering!
**[15:46] Wendy**
*It was just as Sensei advised.*
**[15:50] Glenn**
*You guys are doing better than I expected!*
***SIGN*** Ranking

*You guys really are doing your best.*
**[16:02] Glenn**
*Jeez, you make me feel like doing that, too.*
**[16:06] Glenn**
*What a pain.*
**[16:08] Announcer**
Now, the next competition is mental defense!
**[16:11] Announcer**
Your announcer, Ars,
will now move down to the field.
**[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.
**[17:03] Glenn**
It'll be all right. You know better than
anyone that she has nerves of steel.
**[17:09] Sistine**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Class

Now, we'll begin the mental

**[17:14] Announce**
This Academy's magical professor,
**[17:16] ---**
an authority on mental manipulation
magic, the Sede, Count Zest!
**[17:20] Zest**
Good day.
**[17:23] Announcer**
Now we'll start round 1!
**[17:26] Announcer**
Count Zest, if you will!
**[17:29] Zest**
I'll start with Sleep
Sound to test things out.
**[17:32] Sistine**
*Rumia, don't push yourself too hard!*
**[17:34] Zest**
Grant rest to the body, peace to the
mind, and let those eyelids fall.
**[17:36] Students**
My guardian spirit, pay heed, and
protect my mind from evil influences!
**[17:44] Announcer**
He fell asleep!
**[17:45] Announcer**
The sudden dropout comes from Class 1!
**[17:47] Announcer**
They must be conserving their forces!
**[17:48] Announcer**
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?
**[17:59] Zest**
How far can I corrupt her
innocent little heart?
**[18:05] All**
H-He's a pervert!
**[18:08] Rick**
Let's fire him.
**[18:09] Announcer**
Next up, Confusion Mind!
**[18:11] Man**
Hot!
**[18:12] Announcer**
Class 8 is eliminated!
**[18:13] Zest**
I don't need boys! If anyone's
stripping, let it be Rumia-kun!
**[18:15] Announcer**
Try to conceal your desires a bit, Count!
**[18:18] Announcer**
Well, getting back to business,
**[18:19] Announcer**
next up is Charm Mind!
**[18:21] Announcer**
They're being manipulated by the pervy count!
**[18:24] Announcer**
I said I don't need men!
**[18:27] Announcer**
Now we jump right into the count's
specialty, high-speed chanting!
**[18:30] Announcer**
Creepy levels at max!
**[18:32] Announcer**
But thanks to that, the unqualified
are falling, one by one!
**[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!
***SIGN*** Mental Defense Final Battle
**[19:30] Jaill**
Not bad for a woman.
**[19:33] Rumia**
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.
**[19:54] Rumia**
It's really fun.
**[19:56] Rumia**
So I need to do my best, too!
**[20:01] Jaill**
That so?
**[20:02] Zest**
Then, to settle this match,
I'll just increase the force.
**[20:06] Zest**
Are you both mentally prepared?
**[20:09] Zest**
There!
**[20:15] Announcer**
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—
**[20:22] Glenn**
She forfeits.
**[20:24] Glenn**
Class 2 will drop out here.
**[20:26] Rumia**
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.
**[20:51] Glenn**
Oh, yeah?
**[20:53] Announcer**
Now then, since you've earned a
victory in mental defense, Jaill-kun,
**[20:56] ---**
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.
**[21:08] Zest**
Even if she withdrew, she cleared the
previous Mind Break right beforehand.
**[21:13] Announcer**
What a surprise! The winner
is Rumia-chan of Class 2!
**[21:16] Sistine**
Rumia! You did it! Congratulations!
**[21:19] Rumia**
Thanks!
**[21:21] Alicia**
She's blessed with good friends
and a good mentor.
**[21:24] ---**
I'm truly glad I got to
see her smile like that.
**[21:28] Celica**
If you'd said something to me,
I could've worked something out.
**[21:32] Alicia**
It's fine.
**[21:33] Alicia**
The fact that I abandoned her won't change.
**[21:37] Alicia**
I'm very satisfied today.
**[21:39] Alicia**
Especially after seeing her...
seeing Rumia like this.
**[21:44] Celica**
Is that enough?
**[21:46] Celica**
Is just seeing her from afar truly enough?
**[21:49] Woman**
Your Majesty, why not try being
honest with yourself, just for today?
**[21:54] Celica**
Uh-huh.

Wow!

And again, Class 2 comes from behind!

Who could've imagined this turn of
events at this year's magic competition?!
**[00:09] Announcer**
This year's dark horse,
**[00:11] Class2**
We did it!
**[00:11] ---**
Glenn-sensei's Class 2-2,
won't stop climbing the ranks!
**[00:17] Albert**
It's Glenn.
**[00:19] Re=L**
Yeah, that's definitely Glenn.
**[00:21] Albert**
He left without saying a word,
**[00:25] Albert**
and now we find him here.
**[00:29] Re=L**
What are you doing, Albert?
**[00:31] Albert**
What are you planning to do, Re=L?
**[00:33] Re=L**
To go settle the score with Glenn.
**[00:36] Re=L**
Ow.
**[00:37] Re=L**
Don't you want to see Glenn, Albert?
**[00:40] Albert**
There's plenty I want to say to that man,
**[00:42] Albert**
but right now our mission comes first.
**[00:45] Re=L**
Mission?
**[00:46] Albert**
Our mission of overseeing
the Imperial Guards charged
**[00:50] ---**
with protecting Her Majesty, the Queen.
**[00:52] Re=L**
Why?
**[00:53] Re=L**
They're our allies.
**[00:55] Albert**
We received word of suspicious activity
within the ranks of the Imperial Guard.
**[01:00] Albert**
There's a chance they may try
something against Her Majesty.
**[01:04] Albert**
That's what our bosses are wary of.
**[01:06] Re=L**
In other words, I should
settle the score with Glenn.
**[01:10] Re=L**
That's what you're saying?

**[02:54] Glenn**
Damn it, they're all flaunting their food.
**[02:59] Glenn**
Guess I'll stave off my hunger
with another shirotte sprig.
**[03:02] Lynn**
U-Um, Sensei?
**[03:08] Glenn**
What is it, Lynn?
**[03:10] Glenn**
I'm willing to help, as long as
it's not money you need.
**[03:13] Lynn**
Um, about my competition this afternoon...
**[03:17] Lynn**
Could I switch with someone else?
**[03:20] Glenn**
You're in the transmutation contest, right?
**[03:23] Lynn**
Yes.
**[03:24] Lynn**
I've practiced the Self Illusion
spell the best I could,
**[03:29] ---**
but I just can't get it to work right.
**[03:31] Glenn**
So you want to swap with someone else.
**[03:33] Glenn**
But what do you want to do?
**[03:35] Lynn**
Huh?
**[03:36] Glenn**
You actually want to participate, right?
**[03:38] Glenn**
You love transmutation magic, don't you?
**[03:40] Lynn**
Y-Yes, I do.
**[03:41] Lynn**
Transmutation is, well... It's like a chance
for me to become someone else.
**[03:46] Glenn**
Then participate.
**[03:48] Glenn**
It won't be a problem.
**[03:49] Lynn**
B-But...
**[03:50] Lynn**
Everyone's all excited about aiming
for victory together with you,
**[03:53] Lynn**
so if I dragged everyone down...
**[03:55] Glenn**
Oh, so that's why you're so worked up?
**[03:58] Glenn**
This is the magic competition.
It's a festival.
**[04:01] Glenn**
So long as you all enjoy yourselves
to the fullest, that's all that matters.
**[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!
**[05:17] Glenn**
Yeah.
**[05:23] Sistine**
Rumia! There you are!
**[05:29] Sistine**
Let's hurry and eat lunch.
**[05:30] Sistine**
I made your share too, Rumia.
**[05:33] Sistine**
Also, where did that man go off to?
**[05:37] Glenn**
*Calm down, Glenn.*
**[05:39] Glenn**
* There's nothing lower than a teacher*
* tricking a student out of her lunch!*
**[05:46] Sistine**
Jeez, Rumia, were you that hungry?
**[05:48] Rumia**
Yeah, I might seriously die
if I don't eat something soon.
**[05:53] Sistine**
Y-You sound desperate.
**[05:55] Glenn**
*It's all right. I won't eat all of it.*
**[05:58] Glenn**
*Just a small bite—no, two bites—to sample it!*
**[06:01] Glenn**
Well, I'm digging in!
**[06:03] Rumia**
Sisti, there you are!
**[06:04] Rumia**
Sorry I kept you... waiting...
**[06:07] Rumia**
Huh?
**[06:07] Glenn**
Wh-What's this?!
**[06:09] Glenn**
There's two Rum—no, two mes!
**[06:13] Sistine**
Power, pay heed, and return them to zero.
**[06:19] Glenn**
Well, that's that.
**[06:21] Sistine**
You jerk!
**[06:23] Glenn**
What?!
**[06:24] Sistine**
I can't believe a teacher would transform
into a student just to steal her lunch!
**[06:27] Rumia**
N-Now, now...
**[06:29] Sistine**
After I woke up early to make them...
**[06:33] Sistine**
That scumbag!
**[06:40] ---**
Ow...
**[06:41] Glenn**
That white cat really sent me flying.
**[06:50] Glenn**
I feel like I'm steadily sinking
lower as a human being.
**[06:57] Rumia**
Sensei!
**[07:07] Rumia**
You looked like you were hungry,
so if you'd like...
**[07:10] Glenn**
Thank you very much, my angel!
**[07:12] Glenn**
I'll humbly accept it with great joy!
**[07:17] Glenn**
The juicy, fresh acidity of the tomato...
**[07:20] Glenn**
the savory, perfectly salted ham...
**[07:23] Glenn**
and the body of this thinly-sliced cheese
create an exquisite harmony!
**[07:27] Glenn**
Did you make this yourself?!
**[07:29] Rumia**
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.
**[08:17] Glenn**
All right, time to head back.
**[08:19] Alicia**
You're Glenn Radars, correct?
**[08:22] Alicia**
Do you have a moment?
**[08:24] Glenn**
Yeah, sorry. I'm fresh out of moments.
**[08:27] Glenn**
I just finished eating,
so I'm gonna be really busy—
**[08:31] Glenn**
Your Majesty?!
**[08:37] Zelos**
Where has Her Majesty gone?
**[08:39] Soldier**
I only took my eyes off of
her for a moment, and...
**[08:42] Zelos**
Fool. Find her at once!
**[08:45] Soldier**
Yes, sir!
**[08:47] Celica**
Did you see that, Headmaster?
**[08:49] Celica**
How panicked that Imperial Guard looked!
**[08:51] Rick**
To think you'd hide Her
Majesty with your magic.
**[08:54] Rick**
You're as frightening a woman as ever.
**[08:58] Eleanor**
Celica-sama.
**[09:00] Celica**
What is it, Eleanor?
**[09:01] Eleanor**
There's something I'd like to discuss
with you while Her Majesty is absent.
**[09:09] Alicia**
It's been a year.
**[09:10] Alicia**
Have you been well?
**[09:12] Glenn**
Oh, yes, of course!
**[09:13] Alicia**
Please raise your head.
**[09:16] Alicia**
I've always wanted to apologize to you.
**[09:22] Alicia**
You devoted yourself to this nation,
**[09:25] ---**
yet you were expelled from the
Court Mage Corps in such a fashion...
**[09:29] Glenn**
No, no, no!
**[09:30] Glenn**
I just quit because I got sick of the work!
**[09:33] Glenn**
You can't be lowering your head to a
social failure like me, Your Majesty!
**[09:38] Alicia**
Glenn.
**[09:39] Glenn**
M-More importantly, Your Majesty,
**[09:40] ---**
what brings you here without
any of your guards?
**[09:45] Alicia**
It's been a long time, Ermiana.
**[09:48] Alicia**
How have you been?
**[09:50] Alicia**
You've grown awfully tall.
**[09:52] Alicia**
How is your life with the Fibel family?
**[09:55] Alicia**
Ah, this is like a dream.
**[09:57] Alicia**
Being able to see you again...
**[10:04] Alicia**
Ermiana...
**[10:05] Rumia**
Um, I beg your pardon, but...
**[10:07] Rumia**
While this may be rude of me,
I believe you have the wrong person.
**[10:12] Rumia**
I'm Rumia.
**[10:13] Rumia**
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!

**[23:46] Rumia**
Ah, so cute!
**[23:47] Sisti**
Were they abandoned here?
**[23:48] Sisti**
Jeez, what an irresponsible owner!
**[23:52] Rumia**
Hey, why don't we find owners for them?
**[23:54] Sisti**
That sounds good.
**[23:57] Both**
Huh?
**[23:58] Rumia**
Hey, Sisti, there's someone
suspicious over there.
**[24:00] Sisti**
I think that man's been watching
our class this whole competition!
**[24:03] Rumia**
Oh, no, scary!
**[24:04] Both**
Let's go tell Sensei about this!
**[24:07] Albert**
Good for you, kittens.
**[24:10] Glenn**
Hey, hey!
**[24:11] Glenn**
Where's the pervert imagining dirty
things as he ogles my students?!

**[00:01] Eleanor**
I've placed a conditional cursed necklace
around Her Majesty's neck.
**[00:10] Eleanor**
We'll be putting Her Majesty's life to use.
**[00:14] Eleanor**
For our noble mission as
Researchers of Divine Wisdom.
**[00:18] Celica**
What? The Researchers of Divine Wisdom?!
**[00:25] Eleanor**
There's only way to release the death curse.
**[00:29] Eleanor**
If you want to save the Queen,
then by sundown—
**[00:33] Announcer**
And now they've taken the lead!
**[00:36] Announcer**
Glenn-sensei's Class 2 refuses to
yield an inch to Class 1's advances!
**[00:41] Celica**
*Glenn...*
**[00:49] Glenn**
Are you all right, Rumia?
**[00:50] Rumia**
Yes!
**[00:56] Re=L**
I beseech creation, grant unto
my hands a great blade.
**[01:08] Rumia**
That's... alchemy?
**[01:10] Glenn**
I never expected the Court
Mage Corps to show up.
**[01:13] Glenn**
Silver ice wolf, race forth, clad in blizzard!
**[01:18] Re=L**
It won't work, Glenn.
**[01:20] Re=L**
Prepare yourself.
**[01:23] Glenn**
* Close combat via alchemy and*
* long-range sniping magic?!*
**[01:28] Glenn**
*No!*
**[01:28] Glenn**
*I can't dodge!*
**[01:43] Albert**
It's been a while, Glenn.
**[01:46] Glenn**
Albert?!

**[03:19] Glenn**
What were you thinking, you idiot?!
**[03:22] Re=L**
Glenn, that hurts.
**[03:23] Glenn**
I nearly died!
**[03:25] Rumia**
Um, Sensei, who are these people?
**[03:29] Glenn**
Comrades from my Imperial Army days.
**[03:33] Glenn**
Imperial Court Mage Corps Special Forces
Executioner #17, The Star, Albert,
**[03:39] Glenn**
and #7, The Chariot, Re=L.
**[03:43] Glenn**
I'd say you can rest easy since
they're trustworthy, but I can't.
**[03:48] Re=L**
Albert, casting military-grade
spells in the city was careless.
**[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.
**[04:12] Glenn**
She could easily handle a guard or two.
**[04:16] Glenn**
I don't get it.
**[04:18] Glenn**
Why would they go after
Rumia now, of all times?
**[04:22] Albert**
That's unclear at present.
**[04:25] Re=L**
Thinking won't help.
**[04:27] Re=L**
I've come up with a plan to
get us out of this situation.
**[04:31] Glenn**
Oh? Let's hear it.
**[04:32] Re=L**
First, I'll charge the enemy from the front.
**[04:35] Re=L**
Then, Glenn, you'll charge
the enemy from the front.
**[04:38] Re=L**
Finally, Albert will charge
the enemy from the front.
**[04:41] Re=L**
Ow! Ow!
**[04:43] Glenn**
You need to do something about that habit
of charging in without thinking, idiot!
**[04:49] Rumia**
You three seem like good friends.
**[04:51] Glenn**
Huh? You're kidding, right?
**[04:53] Glenn**
Well, I'm glad I don't have to fight you guys.
**[04:58] Glenn**
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**
Your basis for that?
**[05:12] Glenn**
Former Special Forces Executioner #21,
The World, Celica Arfonia,
**[05:19] ---**
a Septende, and the greatest
mage on the continent...
**[05:23] Glenn**
She's petty and ill-tempered,
but she never says anything meaningless.
**[05:28] Glenn**
Believe me.
**[05:30] Glenn**
Either way, things will only
get worse at this rate.
**[05:32] Glenn**
I'm placing my bets on her.
**[05:34] Albert**
Very well.
**[05:35] Albert**
I'll trust you.
**[05:38] Announcer**
Class 1 shows off their strength for an
overwhelming win in Detection & Unlocking!
**[05:42] Announcer**
Class 2's steady advance ends
here as they fall a step behind!
**[05:46] Student**
I knew it! Without Glenn-sensei...
**[05:48] Wendy**
Where did he go at such an important time?
**[05:53] Albert**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[05:58] Albert**
You guys are Class 2, right?
**[06:01] Albert**
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,
**[06:10] ---**
but something urgent came up,
and Glenn can't get away from it.
**[06:15] Albert**
So he gave me a message for all of you:
**[06:17] Albert**
"I'm leaving Albert in command of the class."
**[06:22] Albert**
And...
**[06:25] ---**
"Win, please."
**[06:28] Albert**
That's all.
**[06:30] Student**
"Win, please"?
**[06:32] Sisti**
But hearing that from a complete stranger...
**[06:36] Re=L**
Please, trust us.
**[06:41] Sisti**
You're...
**[06:47] Sisti**
All right.
**[06:48] Sisti**
Please lead our class, Albert-san.
**[06:51] Class**
Sistine?!
**[06:52] Lynn**
Are you sure about these people?
**[06:55] Sistine**
No matter who's in command, what we
need to do hasn't changed, right?
**[06:59] Sistine**
We'll defeat Class 1 and
win with all of us together.
**[07:02] Student**
Well, yeah, but...
**[07:04] Sistine**
Besides, if we lose while Sensei's not around...
**[07:08] Glenn**
You guys really are hopeless
without me, aren't you?
***SIGN*** So close! What a shame!
**[07:12] Glenn**
Sorry for making you lose by
stepping out partway through!
**[07:16] Student**
He would say that.
**[07:17] Wendy**
That's annoying! Incredibly annoying!
**[07:20] Student**
Hearing that stupid teacher say that
is the one thing I can't tolerate.
**[07:23] Student**
Damn it! We'll do it! We'll do this!
**[07:28] Announcer**
Now, the magic competition
is entering its final stages.
**[07:30] Announcer**
Class 2's strong performance
is now losing steam!
**[07:33] Announcer**
If they lose the next event, transmutation,
Class 2's hopes for victory will be dashed!
**[07:38] Hurley**
It does indeed look like
Glenn Radars isn't there.
**[07:42] Hurley**
Without him around, Class 2 is
nothing but an unorganized mob.
**[07:46] Hurley**
Seta, crush them all at once!
**[07:48] Seta**
Yes, Hurley-sensei.
**[07:52] Announcer**
Oh, my! Seta transformed
into a splendid dragon!
**[07:56] Announcer**
His scores are...
**[07:57] Announcer**
9, 9, 10, and 9, for a total of 37 points!
**[08:01] Announcer**
Has this match been settled?!
**[08:03] Lynn**
Th-This is impossible...
**[08:06] Lynn**
Albert-san?
**[08:10] Albert**
It looks like you've put in an
awful lot of image training.
**[08:14] Albert**
So relax and go out there.
**[08:15] Albert**
This is the magic competition.
It's a festival.
**[08:18] Albert**
Even if you do fail, I'll stop
anyone who tries to blame you
**[08:22] ---**
with my iron fist.
**[08:25] Lynn**
*He sounds like Glenn-sensei.*
**[08:29] Albert**
Got it?
**[08:30] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[08:31] Announcer**
Now, next up is Lynn-chan from Class 2!
**[08:34] Announcer**
What transformation is she going to show us?!
**[08:39] Lynn**
Behold, my phantasmagoria, enacted by myself.
**[08:43] Lynn**
*Watch me, Sensei.*
**[08:54] Announcer**
It's an angel!
**[08:55] Announcer**
An image of La Tilika, right out of
iconography, has descended before us!
**[09:01] Announcer**
10, 10, 10, 10! A perfect score of 40!
**[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!
***SIGN*** illustration: Buriki
**[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.

**[00:05] Sisti**
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.
**[04:05] G**
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**
...okay?
**[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.
**[05:37] Re=L**
Re=L Rayford.
**[05:41] Glenn**
You idiot, I just said your name!
**[05:43] Glenn**
Say something about yourself, like
what your hobbies are or whatever.
**[05:47] Re=L**
Got it.
**[05:48] Re=L**
I'm Re=L Rayford.
**[05:50] Re=L**
I'm enlisted in the Imperial Army,
**[05:53] ---**
serving in the Imperial Court
Mage Corps Special Forc—
**[05:57] Re=L**
In the future, I'm...
**[05:59] Re=L**
Hoping to join the Imperial Army?
**[06:02] Re=L**
And I came from the Iteria region?
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?
**[06:37] Re=L**
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.
**[06:49] Girl**
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.
**[16:15] Glenn**
Come on, bring it!
**[16:16] Glenn**
What's the matter?
**[16:22] Rodde**
Invisible hand!
**[16:30] Glenn**
Take that!
**[16:42] Kash**
Now we start the traditional

Already accounted for.
**[16:58] Kash**
The likelihood of Sensei patrolling in
the next thirty minutes is near zero.
**[17:02] Ky**
Wow, that's perfect.
**[17:04] Kash**
All right, guys, are you ready
to make the best memories ever?
**[17:09] Glenn**
Actually, it won't be that easy.
**[17:12] Rodde**
N-No way!
**[17:13] Kash**
Why are you here, Sensei?!
**[17:15] Glenn**
You idiots!
**[17:16] Glenn**
If I were you all, I would definitely!
**[17:18] ---**
Use this route!
**[17:19] ---**
At this moment!
**[17:20] ---**
Tonight, to sneak into the girls' room!
**[17:24] Kash**
Right.
**[17:26] Glenn**
But rules are rules,

**[17:29] Kash**
There are times when a man can't back down!
**[17:31] Kash**
Now is that moment!
**[17:33] Ky**
We have our pride, too!
**[17:35] Rodde**
We're growing boys, after all!
**[17:36] Glenn**
I see. You've steeled
yourselves for this, huh?
**[17:39] Glenn**
Then, as your teacher,
I'll have to remove you by force!
**[17:44] Kash**
We'll defeat you and head for Eden!
**[17:48] Kash**
Let's go, guys!
**[17:49] Glenn**
Bring it on!
**[17:54] Sistine**
Honestly, boys are such idiots.
**[17:58] Re=L**
I've never seen Glenn
having so much fun before.
**[18:01] Sisti**
Really? He's like that all the time at school.
**[18:06] Re=L**
He used to be really gloomy.
**[18:08] Re=L**
That's why I thought I had to
stay near him and protect him.
**[18:14] Sisti**
Re=L?
**[18:17] Wendy**
Everyone, let's play a card game!
**[18:20] Wendy**
Re=L, you should join us, too!
**[18:22] Re=L**
Cards? Play?
**[18:25] Re=L**
Me, too?
**[18:26] Wendy**
Yes!
**[18:26] Re=L**
Okay. I don't get it, but I'll play.
**[18:30] Wendy**
Let's get this going!
**[18:32] Rumia**
She's really fitting in now, huh?
**[18:35] Sisti**
Yeah, she is.
**[18:46] Glenn**
Ow...
**[18:48] ---**
Do those guys know no restraint?
**[18:58] Glenn**
Well, it was a good change of pace.
**[19:06] Rumia**
Pretty!
**[19:07] Sisti**
It really is.
**[19:10] Rumia**
What do you think?
**[19:12] Sisti**
Do you find this boring, Re=L?
**[19:17] Re=L**
I'm not really sure, but...
**[19:20] Re=L**
I'll never tire of this sight.
**[19:24] Rumia**
We're both glad we've
gotten to know you, Re=L.
**[19:28] Re=L**
Why?
**[19:30] Sisti**
It can't be explained.
**[19:33] Rumia**
We're just happy to be your friends.
**[19:37] Re=L**
Friends?
**[19:43] Re=L**
*Friends...*
**[19:44] Re=L**
*I don't get it, but I kind of like it.*
**[19:51] Glenn**
What did he mean, "be careful" of her?
**[19:53] Glenn**
She's just a normal girl.
**[20:13] Glenn**
Re=L, what are you doing?
**[20:16] Re=L**
I wanted to see you.
**[20:19] Glenn**
Okay, well, let's head back.
**[20:22] Re=L**
Hey, why did you leave?
**[20:27] Re=L**
Well, actually...
**[20:29] Re=L**
I do feel guilty about just up and
quitting the Imperial Mage Corps.
**[20:35] Re=L**
Without you, Glenn,
**[20:38] Re=L**
I don't know what I'm living for.
**[20:41] Glenn**
H-Hey, now, that's not true.
**[20:43] Glenn**
Just today you were having fun playing with
Rumia, the white cat, and the others, right?
**[20:47] Re=L**
I don't get it.
**[20:49] Glenn**
You could just become a
student at this academy.
**[20:52] Glenn**
Wash your hands of the Imperial Mage Corps.
**[20:54] Re=L**
That's not it.
**[20:55] Re=L**
I live for you.
**[20:57] Glenn**
No, you don't!
**[20:58] Glenn**
Pursuing your own happiness
is what your brother—
**[21:05] Re=L**
I don't get it.
**[21:06] Glenn**
Huh?
**[21:07] Re=L**
I don't understand what you're saying at all!
**[21:10] Re=L**
What's wrong with it?!
**[21:11] Glenn**
H-Hey, just calm down, Re=L.
**[21:14] Re=L**
What's wrong with fighting to protect you?!
**[21:16] Re=L**
Why won't you stay by my side?!
**[21:19] Re=L**
I hate it!
**[21:20] Glenn**
Re=L?
**[21:21] Re=L**
Rumia, Sistine...
**[21:23] Re=L**
Did they steal you away from me?
**[21:25] Glenn**
What led you to that conclusion?
**[21:27] Re=L**
Shut up, shut up!
**[21:28] Re=L**
It's all because of them!
**[21:30] Re=L**
I hate them all!
**[21:31] Re=L**
I hate them!
**[21:31] Glenn**
Hey, Re=L! Wait!
**[21:47] Glenn**
Things never work out like I expect.
**[21:52] Eleanor**
Our organization is proactively
looking into that matter.
**[21:56] Lainel**
We've already made preparations
for the Amplifier.
**[22:02] Eleanor**
Well, then...
**[22:04] Eleanor**
To that which we both seek.

**[00:11] Sisti**
Are we still not at the research lab?
**[00:14] Sisti**
Are you all right, Rumia?
**[00:16] Rumia**
This might be a little tough for me.
**[00:18] Sisti**
And Re=L...
**[00:23] Rumia**
She seems fine.
**[00:24] Sisti**
Yeah.
**[00:26] Sisti**
Anyway, we really freaked out when we
woke up and you weren't in the room.
**[00:30] Sisti**
You shouldn't go off on
your own so much, okay?
**[00:33] Sisti**
Besides, if you keep doing things
like that, you'll end up like *him*.
**[00:38] Sisti**
Like Glenn-sensei.
**[00:43] Both**

Don't touch me.

Hey, Re=L!
**[00:54] Sisti**
Rumia's showing concern for you.
**[00:55] Re=L**
Shut up.
**[00:57] Re=L**
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
**[00:59] Re=L**
Shut up!
**[01:03] Re=L**
Don't bother me anymore!

Re=L?
**[01:07] Re=L**
I hate you all!
**[01:15] Sisti**
Why?
**[01:16] Rumia**
Do you think she really hated being with us?
**[01:22] Glenn**
That's not true.
**[01:25] Sisti**
Sensei?
**[01:26] Glenn**
She's a little unstable right now.
**[01:29] Glenn**
I said something I shouldn't have said
last night, and it made her mad.

Sorry.

**[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**
Rumia?
**[08:17] Sisti**
Hey, Re=L?
**[08:18] Sisti**
Everyone's going into town for lunch.
Would you like to come with us?
**[08:22] Re=L**
No.
**[08:27] Glenn**
Hey, cut it out already, Re=L.
**[08:30] Glenn**
You can't keep sulking alone forever.
**[08:32] Re=L**
Shut up!
**[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.
***SIGN*** illustration: Sakura Koharu (QP:flapper)
**[23:46] Sisti**
Sensei...
**[23:47] Re=L**
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!
**[24:04] Glenn**
Huh? But you're not in next week's episode!
**[24:06] Celica**
I'm not?
**[24:07] Sisti**
Sensei!
**[24:07] Sisti**
Thank goodness!
**[24:08] Sisti**
I don't know what I'd have done if you'd died!
**[24:10] Glenn**
Oh!
***SIGN*** Oh!
**[24:11] Glenn**
Whoops.
**[24:12] Sisti**
Huh? Sensei?!
**[24:13] Celica**
I'm not in the next episode?

**[00:02] Rumia**
Why,
**[00:03] Rumia**
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.
**[00:22] (Flashback) Glenn**
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.
***SIGN*** Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor
***SIGN*** The Reason to Live
**[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,
**[09:43] ---**
and sever the links woven
between images and truths.
**[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!
**[22:05] Glenn**
Bye.
**[22:08] Glenn**
You thought I would?
**[22:09] Glenn**
No way, idiot.
**[22:12] Glenn**
Well, anyway...
**[22:13] Glenn**
Keep your paws off my students!
**[22:26] Alber**
Die.
**[22:27] Alber**
We won't even read you your last rites.
**[22:29] Alber**
Repent for eternity as you burn in
the crimson flames of purgatory.
**[22:33] Burks**
No way...
**[22:35] Burks**
I was chosen by Heaven!
**[22:45] Sistine**
Rumia!
**[22:54] Sistine**
Re=L!
**[23:05] Gibul**
Well, in theory, the best
way to receive the ball
**[23:07] ---**
can be determined by its
angle from the ground.
**[23:12] Albert**
Indeed, this is a precious sight.
**[23:14] Glenn**
Right?
**[23:15] Glenn**
Swimsuits are the best.
**[23:17] Glenn**
And most of them have matured nicely.
**[23:19] Albert**
Who was talking about swimsuits?
**[23:22] Albert**
This is the scene you wanted
to protect, isn't it, Glenn?
**[23:27] Glenn**
Who can say?
**[23:31] Eleanor**
Yes, we have it.
**[23:34] ---**
The entire Project Revive Life ritual.

Judging from the
Project Revive Life incident,
**[02:28] ---**
is it safe to say Princess Ermiana's
powers are almost mature?
**[02:32] Eleanor**
Yes. Now, what shall we do next, Grandmaster?
**[02:38] GM**
Let's observe carefully for a while.
**[02:41] Eleanor**
Understood. However,
**[02:43] ---**
there are those within the organization
plotting to bring Princess Ermiana's rebirth.
**[02:48] Eleanor**
What shall we do about them?
**[02:49] GM**
Deal with them as you see fit.
**[02:52] Eleanor**
Yes.
**[02:54] GM**
The way you all choose to live
will create my story, after all.
**[03:05] Lenard**
We're glad you could come!
**[03:07] Filiana**
Go on, have as much as you'd like.
**[03:10] Lenard**
Do you like roast beef?
**[03:12] Lenard**
If you'd rather eat something else, just ask!
**[03:16] Sisti**
Father, Mother, Re=L's a little shy.
**[03:20] Sisti**
Your usual intense approach might...
**[03:21] Lenard**
Oh? You mean it's not that
she doesn't like the food?
**[03:25] Rumia**
Yes.
**[03:26] Lenard**
Oh, good!
**[03:27] Lenard**
I was so worried!
**[03:29] Filiana**
Oh, honey.
**[03:32] Filiana**
Re=L-san, Sistine and Rumia always
talk so happily about Glenn-sensei.
**[03:39] Filiana**
You like the teacher too, right?
**[03:42] Re=L**
Everything starts with Glenn.
**[03:44] Filiana**
My, is that so?
**[03:45] Filiana**
He really is a remarkable man, then!
**[03:48] Sisti**
No, I don't think she meant it that way.
**[03:51] Lenard**
Go on, have some soup!
And eat your salad, too!
**[03:54] Sisti**
Father, there's no way she can eat that much.
**[04:01] Filiana**
Right, right.
**[04:02] Filiana**
We'll be heading to the Imperial
capital tomorrow, so mind the house.
**[04:06] Sisti**
Okay. Be careful.
**[04:08] Lenard**
Oh? That reminds me.
**[04:11] ---**
I feel like there was something very
important that I needed to tell Sistine.
**[04:15] Filiana**
Is there?
**[04:27] Re=L**
Sistine, um...
**[04:30] Re=L**
About what happened...
**[04:33] Sisti**
It's all right.
**[04:34] Re=L**
But I haven't apologized properly.
**[04:37] Sisti**
It doesn't matter anymore.
**[04:41] Re=L**
I'm sorry.
**[04:42] Re=L**
And thank you.
**[04:47] Re=L**
You're both precious friends.
**[05:05] Sisti**
Sorry...
**[05:07] Sisti**
Professor Arfonia!
**[05:09] Celica**
Melgalius's Sky Castle?
**[05:12] Celica**
Your grandfather was a famous
researcher too, wasn't he?
**[05:15] Sisti**
Yes.
**[05:15] Sisti**
I'd like to carry on his wishes.
**[05:19] Sisti**
Though I'm not sure if I'll be able to...
**[05:21] Celica**
The ones who accomplish something are
the fools who keep pressing onward.
**[05:26] Celica**
The ones who accomplish nothing
are the wise who cease advancing.
**[05:30] Sisti**
Who said that?
**[05:31] Celica**
Me.
**[05:33] Celica**
Give it your best.
**[06:05] Celica**
"The ones who accomplish something are
the fools who keep pressing onward," huh?
**[06:11] Celica**
I need to go into the
underground labyrinth again.
**[06:20] Glenn**
Yo.
**[06:22] Glenn**
Hey!
**[06:26] Sisti**
The library really doesn't suit you, Sensei.
**[06:29] Glenn**
That's not true.
**[06:31] Glenn**
I'm a living, walking tome of knowledge.
**[06:33] Sisti**
I can't be bothered to argue with that.
**[06:36] Glenn**
You're no fun.
**[06:38] Glenn**
By the way...
**[06:39] Sisti**
What is it?
**[06:41] Glenn**
When I nearly died the other day,
**[06:43] Glenn**
you were the one who cast
Reviver on me, right?
**[06:52] Glenn**
I wanted to at least thank you for that.
**[06:54] Glenn**
Thanks.
**[06:56] Glenn**
Why are you turning so red?
**[06:59] Rumia**
Sisti?
**[07:00] Rumia**
What's wrong?
**[07:02] Re=L**
Did Glenn make you cry?
**[07:03] Re=L**
I'll protect you and Rumia from him.
**[07:06] Sisti**
No, no!
**[07:08] Re=L**
I beseech creation,
grant unto my hands a great blade.
**[07:12] Glenn**
You've got it all wrong!
**[07:15] Glenn**
Wait!
**[07:16] Glenn**
Listen to me!
**[07:17] Glenn**
Hey!
**[07:18] Glenn**
Not that!
**[07:23] Sisti**
Look out!
**[07:24] Leos**
Splendid flow of wind, pay heed!
**[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.
***SIGN*** illustration: Tsunako
**[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."
**[24:08] Sara**
He's sure troublesome, isn't he?
**[24:09] Sisti**
Right?
**[24:10] Sisti**
Oh, listen to this! He—
**[24:12] Glenn**
Hey, white cat, what have you
been talking to a wall about?
**[24:16] Sisti**
Huh?
**[24:16] Glenn**
Did all that studying mess with your head?

**[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.
**[02:11] Re=L**
Then we need to take her to a doctor.
**[02:13] Rumia**
I don't think her sickness
is one a doctor can cure.
**[02:20] Ars**
Now then, the mage corps battle between
Class 2 and Class 4 starts now!
***SIGN*** Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor
***SIGN*** Face-Off! The Mage Corps Battle
**[04:07] Class2**
Thunder sprites, shock!
**[04:14] Class2**
Pay heed, great wind!
**[04:15] Class2**
White winter...
**[04:19] Ars**
Class 2's Ken-kun and Chris-kun
take direct hits from spells.
**[04:22] Ars**
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!
**[04:31] Ars**
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,
**[05:02] (Flashback) ---**
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...
**[05:13] (Flashback) ---**
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.*

I thought it was a Great Teacher Celica

promotional segment created
to increase my screen time?
**[23:55] Sisti**
It's a preview.
**[23:55] Rumia**
Next time is the last episode, huh?
**[23:57] Rumia**
We've had a lot of fun and hardships,
but they're all great memories now.
**[24:01] Sisti**
Hey, Rumia, you need to do the preview, too!
**[24:04] Re=L**
Next time on *Re=L and
Glenn's Grand Adventures*...
**[24:06] Sisti**
No spoilers!
**[24:09] Albert**
Calm down, Fibel!
**[24:12] Sisti**
Albert-san, you're taking it too easy!

Now, now, just relax, white cat.
**[24:17] Glenn**
Have a strawberry tart.
**[24:18] Glenn**
Go on, go on.
**[24:19] Sisti**
A-All right. Thank you.
**[24:23] Sisti**
Hey! My strawberry tart!

**[00:11] (Flashback) Sistine**
Leos, don't tell me you're with
the Researchers of Divine Wisdom!
**[00:15] (Flashback) Leos**
What?!
**[00:16] (Flashback) Leos**
You damn bitch!
**[00:18] (Flashback) Leos**
Don't associate me with
that base, low-life trash!
**[00:25] (Flashback) Leos**
Whatever. You're clever
enough to understand, right?
**[00:29] (Flashback) Leos**
You don't have the right to decline.
**[00:34] Sisti**
Sensei, I...
***SIGN*** Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor
**[00:46] Kash**
Hey, did you hear?
**[00:48] Cecil**
Sistine accepted Leos-sensei's proposal!
**[00:51] Lynn**
The ceremony is one week from now.
**[00:53] Theresa**
That's awfully sudden.
**[00:56] Gibul**
They were already engaged, anyway.
**[00:59] Gibul**
It's nothing to make a fuss over.
**[01:01] Gibul**
Frankly, I'm more disappointed that
Glenn-sensei never showed up for their duel.
**[01:06] Wendy**
Sistine!
**[01:08] Wendy**
Are you serious about this marriage?
**[01:11] Sisti**
Yes.
**[01:12] Wendy**
What happened to becoming
a magic archaeologist?
**[01:16] Sisti**
Oh, that.
**[01:18] Sisti**
That was just a dream.
**[01:21] Sisti**
I'm going to face reality now.
**[01:24] Wendy**
Can you really accept this suddenly
happening to your best friend?
**[01:29] Rumia**
I...
**[01:31] Leos**
Hey, Sistine.
**[01:33] Leos**
We have a meeting about the ceremony.
**[01:35] Leos**
Might I have some of your time?
**[01:38] Sisti**
Sure, that's fine.
**[01:40] Leos**
Pardon us, everyone.
**[01:45] Re=L**
Rumia, can I cut him down?
**[01:47] Rumia**
Huh?
**[01:48] Re=L**
I don't quite understand,
but I'm sure he's an enemy!
**[01:52] Rumia**
No!
**[01:53] Re=L**
Rumia?
**[01:56] Rumia**
Don't.
**[01:58] Re=L**
But...
**[02:07] Rumia**
Please wait a little longer.
**[02:09] Rumia**
I'm sure Glenn-sensei will
do something about this.
**[02:12] Re=L**
But Glenn's gone off somewhere
and hasn't come back.
**[02:19] Rumia**
I questioned Sistine when she
came back home that night,
**[02:23] ---**
but all she would say is
that she's marrying Leos.
**[02:26] (Flashback) Sisti**
Leave me alone!
**[02:28] (Flashback) Rumia**
Sisti...
**[02:36] (Flashback) Glenn**
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!
