    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.

[12:35] 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.

    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!

[23:47] 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.

    Hey, hey!
[24:11] Glenn
    Where's the pervert imagining dirty
    things as he ogles my students?!
