[00:02] Albert
    Indeed, this is a precious sight.
[00:04] Glenn
    Right?
[00:05] Glenn
    Swimsuits are the best.
[00:07] Glenn
    And most of them have matured nicely.
[00:09] Albert
    Who was talking about swimsuits?
[00:12] Albert
    This is the scene you wanted
    to protect, isn't it, Glenn?
[00:16] Glenn
    Who can say?
[00:21] Sisti
    Sensei!
[00:23] Glenn
    Hey, white cat!
[00:29] Glenn
    Thank you very much!
[00:33] Albert
    She resembles her.
[00:35] Glenn
    Huh?
[00:36] Albert
    Sara Silvers.

SIGN    Gold Digger!?
[02:23] Mage
    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.

[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?
