**[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.*
***SIGN*** Am I Actually the Strongest?

***SIGN*** Not a Bad Night
**[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**
*I'll need to be diligent with monitoring,*
**[21:40] Haruto**
*so that Char and the others
can safely investigate.*
**[21:43] Haruto**
*It's all so I can live a nice,
