[00:00] Tear
    Now, then.
[00:02] Tear
    Here's to our new research students.
[00:05] Tear
    Cheers!
[00:07] Group
    Cheers!
[00:10] Haruto Copy
    Hey there. It's me, Haruto C.
[00:13] Haruto Copy
    A lot happened last time,
[00:15] Haruto Copy
    but now we're having a welcome
    party for the newcomers.
[00:18] Tear
    Welcome to my research lab!
[00:20] Tear
    Go on, drink up!
[00:22] Haruto Copy
    And as for me...
[00:26] Haruto Copy
    I can feel a passionate gaze
    coming from next to me.
[00:29] Haruto Copy
    Um, is something wrong?
[00:31] Polkos
    A-Ah, excuse me.
[00:33] Polkos
    Oh, I was just thinking that
    you and I might be alike.
[00:37] Haruto Copy
    Huh? In what way?
[00:39] Polkos
    Like how we always get dragged into things.
[00:42] Haruto Copy
    A-Ah...
[00:44] Haruto Copy
    On that note, I always see
    you with Professor Tear.
[00:49] Polkos
    You could say that we're stuck together.
[00:52] Polkos
    Truth is, I used to be a teacher for
    the Luseiannel household.
[00:57] Haruto Copy
    What?
[00:58] Haruto Copy
    You were Professor Tear's teacher?
[01:00] Polkos
    Yes.
[01:01] Polkos
    She's been like this from a young age,
[01:04] Polkos
    which, honestly, gave me trouble to no end.
[01:07] Polkos
    She was a bright child, who grasped
    ideas faster than I could teach her,
[01:10] Polkos
    and then came to me with hypotheses
    far exceeding even the material.
[01:15] Polkos
    Seeking out knowledge wherever
    her curiosity guided her,
[01:18] Polkos
    she managed to find success carrying
    out all sorts of experiments.
[01:21] Polkos
    After she'd done all she could at home,
[01:25] Polkos
    she enrolled in this academy, and I
    was assigned to keep an eye on her.
[01:30] Polkos
    Ultimately, she never did require
    my teachings to begin with.
[01:35] Polkos
    She is undoubtedly a genius.
[01:37] Polkos
    She has developed a number of new spells,
[01:40] Polkos
    and people said she was most deserving of
    the title of Sage, the highest in modern magic.
[01:45] Polkos
    So despite all of that...
[01:48] Polkos
    Why did she have to pursue
    ancient magic, of all things?!
[01:53] Polkos
    A lost branch of magic that
    might not even be useful!
[01:57] Haruto Copy
    W-Well, we couldn't possibly fathom
    the thought process of a genius.
[02:03] Polkos
    You're right.
[02:05] Polkos
    I'm nothing more than mediocre.
[02:07] Haruto Copy
    It backfired!
[02:10] Haruto Copy
    A-Awkward.
[02:13] Iris
    Hey, Haruto!
[02:18] Iris
    Havin' fun?
[02:19] Haruto Copy
    H-Hey!
[02:25] Haruto Copy
    Wait, she's been drinking!
[02:28] Iris
    Wahoo!
[02:32] Haruto Copy
    What is it?
SIGN    Grin
[02:33] Iris
    Wanna drink some, too?
[02:35] Haruto Copy
    No, I'm fine.
[02:37] Haruto Copy
    Ah, hey!
[02:41] Haruto Copy
    That was for you*?!
[02:50] Iris
    Haruto!
[02:52] Iris
    Thanks for joinin' the lab with me!
[02:56] Haruto Copy
    Dweh!
[02:58] Iris
    I think I can get stronger here...
[03:08] Haruto Copy
    She fell asleep.

[04:49] Haruto Copy
    That should do it.
[04:51] Tear
    Whee!
[04:52] Tear
    Are you having fun, Haruto?
[04:57] Tear
    Haruto, do you know why she insists
    on studying ancient magic?
[05:03] Haruto Copy
    No.
[05:04] Tear
    I found out during her mana
    assessment for the entrance exam.
[05:07] Tear
    As it happens, she possesses every element!
[05:11] Tear
    Do you know how rare that is?
[05:13] Tear
    Yes, like a tried-and-true hero of legend,
    rising up from a commoner's life!
[05:19] Tear
    However, real life doesn't
    work out so nicely.
[05:22] Tear
    Unfortunately, her mana level is 5/35.
[05:27] Tear
    She may still be young,
    but that's way too low.
[05:30] Tear
    It may well be that her mana level
    won't increase any further.
[05:36] Tear
    But she's still in her teens.
[05:39] Tear
    I'm sure that's why she
    turned to ancient magic.
[05:41] Tear
    Ancient magic comes from an age brimming
    with ancestors who were level 100.
[05:46] Tear
    It may provide a clue
    to raising one's level.
[05:49] Tear
    I had yet to conduct any research
    toward that end, either.
[05:53] Tear
    I'm thrilled to have a
    new topic of research!
[05:57] Tear
    To pursue the slightest of possibilities...
[06:00] Tear
    What a beautiful thing that is.
[06:06] Tear
    This alcohol's got me saying
    things I normally wouldn't!
[06:10] Tear
    I should sleep, too.
[06:12] Haruto Copy
    Huh? Um...
[06:20] Haruto Copy
    They all fell asleep before I realized it.
[06:29] Schneidel
    By tomorrow, everyone in school
    will know I called off the duel...
[06:33] Schneidel
    After I went so far as to side
    with the Church of Lucifyra
[06:36] Schneidel
    to ensure that Father
    would be the next king!
[06:41] Schneidel
    At this rate, all of my machinations
    will have been for naught!
[06:45] Schneidel
    Hafen House Special Assassin Unit!
[06:49] Schneidel
    You understand what your mission is, right?
[06:52] Schneidel
    Eliminate Haruto Zenfis and
    the other three, tonight!
[06:57] Group
    Yes!
[07:07] Assassin Unit Captain
    Situation report, now.
[07:09] Assassin Unit A
    Yes.
[07:10] Assassin Unit A
    The four targets are the only
    ones inside the mansion.
[07:12] Assassin Unit A
    They're gathered in the south-central
    room on the second floor,
[07:15] Assassin Unit A
    and there are signs of a celebration.
[07:17] Assassin Unit A
    Three of them are heavily
    inebriated from drinking.
[07:20] Assassin Unit A
    Haruto Zenfis has also
    fallen asleep on the sofa.
[07:23] Assassin Unit Captain
    We're fully protected against witnesses?
[07:25] Assassin Unit A
    Yes.
[07:26] Assassin Unit A
    We have ten men in position putting up a net
    for soundproofing and intruder detection.
[07:31] Assassin Unit Captain
    And we also have ten men
    from the Assault Unit.
[07:34] Assassin Unit Captain
    Twenty men gathered here
    from our elite forces.
[07:37] Assassin Unit Captain
    Failure is absolutely impossible here.
[07:40] Assassin Unit Captain
    Let us commence the operation!
[07:42] Group
    Yes!
[07:50] Assassin Unit Captain
    What's wrong?!
[07:52] Assassin Unit B
    M-My nose!
[07:56] Assassin Unit Captain
    It's like there's an invisible wall here.
[07:59] Assassin Unit Captain
    Check the surroundings!
[08:08] Assassin Unit A
    It's no use.
[08:09] Assassin Unit A
    It looks like it completely
    surrounds the building.
[08:16] Assassin Unit A
    Not even a scratch!
[08:17] Assassin Unit A
    Is this the work of magic?
[08:20] Assassin Unit A
    A door suddenly appeared!
[08:22] Assassin Unit Captain
    I heard this from Lord Schneidel.
[08:25] Assassin Unit Captain
    Close to Haruto Zenfis is someone called
    Shiva, who uses strange powers.
[08:30] Assassin Unit Captain
    Proceed with caution.
[08:39] Assassin Unit Captain
    Use your most powerful magic
    to destroy that door!
[08:47] Assassin Unit Captain
    What just happened?!
[08:49] Assassin Unit Captain
    Shiva... who in the world is he?!
[08:52] Assassin Unit C
    C-Captain!
[08:55] Assassin Unit Captain
    My word!
[09:04] Assassin Unit Captain
    Hone your senses!
[09:06] Assassin Unit Captain
    He must be somewhere nearby!
[09:15] Assassin Unit Captain
    There!
[09:18] Assassin Unit Captain
    Capture him!
[09:23] Assassin Unit Captain
    There's two of him?!
[09:30] Assassin Unit Captain
    I didn't hear anything
    about multiple Shivas!
[09:33] Assassin Unit Captain
    How strange!
[09:35] Assassin Unit Captain
    Something is strange here!
[09:38] Assassin Unit E
    Captain!
[09:41] Assassin Unit Captain
    N-No way!
[09:44] Assassin Unit Captain
    I-It can't be!
[09:46] Assassin Unit Captain
    D-Damn it!
[09:49] Haruto
    You've finally realized it?
[09:55] Assassin Unit Captain
    S-So you're Shiva!
[10:01] Assassin Unit Captain
    What?! I can't move!
[10:03] Haruto
    I've sealed the movement
    of all twenty of you.
[10:06] Assassin Unit Captain
    Wh-What'd you say?!
[10:08] Haruto
    But seriously, your boss...
[10:11] Haruto
    Sending assassins for this?
[10:13] Haruto
    You've gotta be kidding.
[10:15] Haruto
    Anyway, Captain.
[10:18] Haruto
    Time to make you spill the
    beans on everything you know.
SIGN    Am I Actually the Strongest?
[10:37] Haruto
    They were under your orders, were they not?
[10:40] Schneidel
    N-No!
[10:42] Schneidel
    It wasn't me!
[10:44] Schneidel
    I've never seen any of these people!
[10:45] Haruto
    Never seen them, huh?
[10:49] Schneidel
    Eliminate Haruto Zenfis and the other three!
[10:52] Schneidel
    Wh-What in the world is this spell?!
[10:54] Schneidel
    A projection of the past?!
[10:55] Schneidel
    That's impossible!
[10:56] Haruto
    Well, leaving that aside.
[10:59] Haruto
    You know...
[11:00] Haruto
    Sending all these people as assassins
    because of a grudge is complete overkill.
[11:04] Haruto
    I mean, it looks like the Vise Block
    didn't teach you anything.
[11:08] Haruto
    Looks like you need a real punishment.
[11:13] Schneidel
    A-Are you going to kill me?
[11:19] Schneidel
    Like hell I'm going to let you kill me!
[11:22] Schneidel
    I am Schneidel Hafen!
[11:25] Schneidel
    The man slated to be the
    king after the next king!
[11:37] Haruto
    Huh? Schneidel?
[11:45] Haruto
    No way!
[11:46] Haruto
    What is this, an anime plot twist?!
[12:03] Haruto
    That mysterious syringe
    turned him into a monster.
[12:12] Haruto
    For now, I've gotten him
    outside the building.
[12:15] Haruto
    The question is, what do I do now?
[12:17] Haruto
    I really wish I could just
    pretend I didn't see this!
[12:22] Charlotte
    Haruto!
[12:24] Haruto
    Char.
[12:25] Haruto
    Children should be asleep at this hour.
[12:27] Charlotte
    You're right.
[12:27] Charlotte
    I couldn't sleep because I thought
    you might be up to something!
[12:32] Haruto
    Well, I am fighting a mysterious
    monster right now.
[12:37] Charlotte
    What kind of monster would that be?!
[12:39] Haruto
    Ah...
[12:40] Haruto
    Ah, r-right!
[12:43] Haruto
    A certain organization experimented
    on a human and turned him into this!
[12:49] Charlotte
    H-How cruel...
[12:51] Charlotte
    Haruto, isn't there any
    way you can save him?
[12:54] Haruto
    Eh?
[12:55] Haruto
    Ah... let me think.
[12:58] Haruto
    I wonder if there's a way...
[13:03] Haruto
    Fine, then.
[13:04] Haruto
    Guess I'll have to do it for Char.
[13:08] Haruto
    I've got this!
[13:09] Charlotte
    I know you do, Haruto!
[13:26] Haruto
    Wow, he's well above even Gigan's strength.
[13:35] Haruto
    How do you like this?!
[13:39] Haruto
    This is getting me nowhere!
[13:42] Haruto
    I guess I should stop his arms...
[13:58] Haruto
    Okay, what to do now...
[14:10] Charlotte
    He tore off his own arms!
[14:17] Haruto
    Ah...
[14:18] Haruto
    The type that can regenerate, huh?
[14:25] Haruto
    How am I supposed to deal with this?!
[14:27] Charlotte
    Haruto!
[14:28] Charlotte
    There's something weird about the monster!
[14:31] Haruto
    Huh? He's been weird this
    whole time, actually.
[14:34] Charlotte
    It looks like he's shrunken a bit.
[14:37] Charlotte
    His skin's become slightly paler, too.
[14:40] Haruto
    It's true.
[14:41] Haruto
    So if we whittle away the
    parts that became huge,
[14:44] Haruto
    he'll return to his normal size?
[14:47] Haruto
    Great work, Char.
[14:49] Haruto
    I think this will work out.
[14:50] Charlotte
    I'm honored by your words!
[14:52] Haruto
    In that case, time to go all-out!
[14:56] Haruto
    Thousand blades, forged in
    the flames of purgatory!
[15:05] Charlotte
    Th-This is a new special attack!
[15:08] Haruto
    Become as fangs soaring through the sky,
[15:11] Haruto
    and rend my foes!
[15:14] Haruto
    Japanese Blades, Gather!
[15:22] Haruto
    Schneidel! Return to your old self!
[15:24] Charlotte
    Go!
[15:46] Haruto
    He's back to normal.
[15:49] Haruto
    Char.
[15:51] Haruto
    He was saved because of you.
[15:53] Haruto
    Thank you.
[15:54] Charlotte
    You're welcome!
[15:55] Charlotte
    I couldn't see some of it
    because of a mysterious light,
[15:58] Charlotte
    but you really were able to turn him back!
[16:00] Haruto
    I'm glad I used light to hide
    the bits I can't let Char see.
[16:04] Charlotte
    I'm sure I'll have very good dreams tonight!
[16:07] Haruto
    Glad to hear it!
[16:09] Charlotte
    Well, good night!
[16:11] Haruto
    Yeah, good night.
[16:14] Haruto
    Okay, time for the clean-up work.
[16:20] Haruto
    Schneidel.
[16:21] Haruto
    Getting back to our earlier conversation...
[16:24] Haruto
    Hmm?
[16:26] Haruto
    Hey, wait! Where are you going?!
[16:35] Haruto
    Looks like he's not in
    any state to be talking.
[16:38] Haruto
    Guess I should grab that
    syringe that he used.
[16:42] Haruto
    That tired me out.
[16:44] Haruto
    Let's fix up the mansion real quick
    so I can get back and sleep.
[17:04] Haruto Copy
    I happen to find these
    surroundings pretty fun.
[17:08] Haruto Copy
    How do you feel about it?
[17:11] Haruto
    I'm you, so I feel the same way.
[17:19] Haruto Copy
    I see.
[17:20] Haruto
    Wait, you went through all that,
    and you're having fun?
[17:24] Haruto Copy
    Well, it's... you know.
[17:27] Haruto
    I see, so you're a tsundere.
[17:29] Haruto Copy
    Y-You think it's way better than our
    previous life too, don't you?
[17:33] Haruto
    Well, I can't deny that.
[17:36] Haruto
    We used to be shut-ins,
    but now we've changed.
[17:39] Haruto
    At some point, we began to think that
    being with others might not be so bad.
[17:46] Haruto
    It's way past the dorm curfew.
[17:48] Haruto
    You should just stay here for the day.
[17:50] Haruto
    You're really doing great, you know.
[17:54] Haruto
    See you.
[18:08] Flay
    Have you seen any, well,
    ominous signs in the royal capital?
[18:11] Old Man
    Pardon?
[18:13] Flay
    Anything will do.
[18:14] Old Man
    Yes, yes.
[18:14] Flay
    Tell me what's going on in the capital!
[18:15] Old Man
    Yes, yes.
[18:16] Old Man
    What was that?!
[18:18] Hooligan A
    Need some assistance, lady?
[18:21] Hooligan A
    I'd be more than happy to talk with you.
[18:23] Hooligan B
    Why don't you come over this way?
[18:25] Flay
    Something you can't discuss here?
[18:27] Flay
    I see, very well.
[18:29] Hooligan A
    I'm glad you're so quick on the uptake.
SIGN    Ding...
[18:37] Liza
    Let me ask you again.
[18:39] Liza
    Can you tell us everything you know
    about happenings in the capital?
[18:43] Hooligan A
    Ah, yes.
[18:47] Charlotte
    Interesting.
[18:49] Charlotte
    The king and queen consort are on bad terms,
[18:52] Charlotte
    and there is unrest among
    the aristocracy, as well.
[18:56] Charlotte
    It seems my predictions
    proved correct after all.
[19:00] Charlotte
    Danger is near at hand in the royal capital!
[19:03] Liza
    I'm not sure about that...
[19:05] Johnny
    No, Miss Liza.
[19:07] Johnny
    The enemies have already mobilized.
[19:10] Johnny
    You saw my liege make short work
    of their vanguard, did you not?
[19:15] Johnny
    Lady Charlotte.
[19:17] Johnny
    Let us gaze once more upon that
    "footage," as you called it!
[19:19] Charlotte
    Right away!
[19:21] Charlotte
    Click!
[19:26] Charlotte
    Haruto is so cool!
[19:29] Flay
    Indeed.
[19:30] Flay
    Some of it I can't see, thanks to
    that strange light partway through.
[19:33] Flay
    But Lord Haruto's exploits are
    fantastic, even on repeated watches!
[19:36] Johnny
    To overwhelm the opponent,
    and yet show mercy!
SIGN    Lovely
[19:39] Johnny
    My liege is magnanimous, indeed!
[19:41] Liza
    I feel like we've gotten off-topic.
[19:44] Liza
    Well, whatever.
[19:46] Gigan
    Snore...
[19:48] Charlotte
    According to Haruto, this person is the
     student council's vice president.
[19:52] Charlotte
    This is purely conjecture on my part...
[19:55] Charlotte
    But perhaps he was acting on orders
    from the hidden student council!
[20:02] Charlotte
    The incident occurred after
    Haruto entered the academy.
[20:06] Charlotte
    Which means they became aware of his powers,
    and accordingly set their plan into motion.
[20:11] Charlotte
    It's the logical conclusion.
[20:12] Charlotte
    And there can be no doubt that
    they're linked to the evil syndicate
SIGN    Student Council
SIGN    Hidden Student Council
SIGN    Hidden
SIGN    Evil Syndicate
SIGN    Villain
[20:16] Charlotte
    that shakes the royal capital!
[20:19] Flay
    And what if they are?
[20:21] Flay
    No matter the foe, they stand
    no chance before Lord Haruto.
[20:24] Charlotte
    That may be, but since we don't
    know where they could be hiding,
[20:28] Charlotte
    it could end up being a burden.
[20:29] Flay
    That's true.
[20:30] Charlotte
    Which is why...
[20:32] Charlotte
    I believe that now is
    the time for us to act!
[20:36] Charlotte
    First, we infiltrate the academy.
[20:38] Charlotte
    Then we gather intelligence.
[20:40] Charlotte
    Finally, we expose those
    tied to the evil syndicate!
[20:44] Charlotte
    We have willingly gathered
    here for this very moment!
[20:48] Charlotte
    Let us all act as support
    for Haruto in his service!
[20:51] Charlotte
    Meeting of the Round Table, to arms!
[20:54] Flay
    Indeed. No objections here.
[20:56] Johnny
    Yes. All in service of my liege.
[20:59] Liza
    Lady Charlotte.
[21:00] Liza
    "Meeting of the Round Table"
    is what we call our meetings,
[21:03] Liza
    so we should come up with
    a name for our group.
[21:07] Charlotte
    Then we shall be known as Camelot.
[21:10] Group
    Yes.
[21:11] Charlotte
    Then, one more time...
[21:14] Charlotte
    Camelot, to arms!
[21:21] Haruto
    Infiltrating the academy?!
[21:23] Haruto
    Things are really moving along without me!
[21:26] Haruto
    Still, an evil syndicate, huh?
[21:29] Haruto
    From what Professor Tear
    said, it really does exist.
[21:33] Haruto
    And I can't shake the feeling
    that she's involved.
[21:37] Haruto
