[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.

    Those who wish to compete
    in the flying race?
[03:21] Sistine
    Then, those who wish to participate
    in the transmutation event?
SIGN    Duels
[03:25] Sistine
    This is bad. The competition's next week.
[03:28] Rumia
    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.
[03:37] S
    I don't particularly want to participate.

[03:40] Rumia
    But it's a rare opportunity.
[03:43] Sistine
    And some of you didn't
    get to participate last year.
[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...

    been watching us closely.
[05:47] Sistine
    Sensei is a real loser, but I guess
    he has this side to him, too.
[05:53] Glenn
    Now, then, anything else?
[05:55] Glenn
    Then it's decided!
[05:58] Glenn
    That went well!
[06:00] Glenn
    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!

    At this rate, my livelihood might be safe!
[15:56] Students
    We did it!
[15:59] Glenn
    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.

    It'll be all right. You know better than
    anyone that she has nerves of steel.

    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.

    You really hung in there!
