[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?!
SIGN    Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor
SIGN    The Evil Being
[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!

    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.
