[00:03] Haruto Copy     A school official suddenly     showed up at my door, [00:05] Haruto Copy     and said I need to take a proficiency     test before the entrance ceremony. [00:08] Haruto Copy     But I refuse to be the one to take it. [00:11] Haruto     Huh, why not? [00:12] Haruto Copy     Do you know how I felt, being stuck     in this room for the last few days? [00:16] Haruto     Ah... [00:17] Haruto     Well, I thought I'd be exempt     from that, which was my error. [00:21] Haruto     Wait, this might be my chance. [00:23] Instructor     What are these answers?! [00:25] Instructor     Get out of here! [00:27] Haruto     If I flaunt my utter     incompetence on the test... [00:30] Haruto Copy     It'd be possible to get kicked out     before the entrance ceremony. [00:34] Haruto Copy     I see. [00:36] Haruto     If I can manage that,     I'll have nothing left to do here. [00:39] Haruto     Okay. [00:40] Haruto     I'll take care of this in no time! [00:57] Haruto     Safely made it to the entrance! [00:59] Polkos     Oh, you there. [01:01] Polkos     Um, would you be Haruto,     the son of Margrave Zenfis? [01:05] Haruto     Ah, yes. [01:11] Polkos     We've been expecting you. [01:13] Polkos     Come now, follow me. [01:19] Haruto     Whoa, amazing! SIGN    Whoa... [01:22] Haruto     I bet this classroom could     fit a hundred people! [01:25] Haruto     I'll be in this classroom     starting in the spring? [01:28] Haruto     Do you think I'll be able     to make lots of friends? [01:33] Haruto     Such a terrifying reality... SIGN    Thud [01:35] Haruto     I can't handle it! [01:35] Polkos     What's the matter? [01:36] Polkos     Are you all right?! [01:38] Haruto     Ah, yes. [01:39] Haruto     Shoot. [01:40] Haruto     My life is being drained by     this extrovert environment. [01:43] Haruto     I need to do everything     I can to fail this exam! [01:49] Polkos     Feel free to take your     time with these questions. [01:53] Haruto     Okay! [01:54] Haruto     Time to answer everything wrong     and get out of here quick! [02:02] Haruto     I don't know any of this. [02:05] Haruto     Well, darn. [02:07] Haruto     I can't even tell what they're asking. [02:09] Haruto     Hmm, in that case... SIGN    I really don't have a clue here [02:12] Haruto     Let's just put down, "No clue." SIGN    Easy Going [02:16] Haruto     I've finished a third of this. [02:19] Haruto     Next is barrier magic, huh? [02:22] Haruto     They might catch on if I     pretend not to know anything. [02:25] Haruto     Guess I should answer some of these. [02:27] Haruto     Um, barriers you create can move. [02:31] Haruto     In fact, you can even give them colors. SIGN    Colorful [02:34] Haruto     Mana isn't required to sustain them. [02:37] Haruto     Okay. [02:38] Haruto     I don't think they'll give me points     for such half-assed answers. [02:42] Haruto     Last up is ancient magic. [02:45] Haruto     I read up on it a while ago as my      excuse for being a recluse. [02:49] Haruto     Oh, yeah, I loved reading stuff from that     one author with the really long name. [02:57] Haruto     Oh, no! [02:58] Haruto     I wrote so much without thinking! [03:01] Polkos     Now, then, let us switch rooms     for your mana level assessment. [03:04] Haruto     Huh? [03:05] Haruto     Actually, my mana level is 2, [03:08] Haruto     so there's no need to bother     with an assessment. [03:10] Polkos     My apologies. [03:11] Polkos     That's just our policy... [03:13] Haruto     Well, if they check it directly, [03:16] Haruto     I guess they'll know just how useless I am. [03:20] Polkos     Doctor, I've brought him. [03:24] Tear     Yes, good work, Polkos. [03:29] Haruto     I hear a voice, even though no one's here. [03:31] Tear     Look down, I say, down! [03:40] Tear     You must be Haruto.

[05:30] Tear     I research ancient magic at this school. [05:33] Tear     "Huh? This little kid is a professor?" [05:35] Tear     I bet that's what you're thinking. [05:37] Tear     How insolent of you! [05:39] Haruto     Stop reading people's minds! [05:40] Tear     Moving on. [05:42] Tear     Even with the king's recommendation, [05:44] Tear     get on my bad side, and I'll send you     back home before the entrance ceremony. [05:49] Haruto     For real?! [05:50] Tear     O-Oh! [05:51] Tear     That outburst didn't seem inspired by fear, SIGN    Ba-dump [05:54] Tear     but rather exuberant with high hopes! [05:57] Haruto     You're absolutely right! [05:59] Tear     I can't say that I hate     eccentric men like you... [06:01] Tear     My chest is swelling up in excitement! [06:05] Tear     Hey, just where are you looking?! [06:07] Tear     I bet you just thought,     "There's no swelling at all!" [06:10] Haruto     Yeah... [06:11] Tear     But being ogled by a young boy     like you isn't so bad, either! [06:16] Haruto     How long is this charade going to continue? [06:20] Polkos     Doctor, if we could get     to the matter at hand. [06:23] Tear     Oh, you're right. [06:26] Tear     I'll go ahead and confirm     your magical knowledge. [06:30] Tear     Mm-hmm. [06:36] Tear     Let's proceed with the assessment. [06:38] Haruto     Oh, did she get angry at my garbage answers? [06:45] Haruto     Well, the result is still going to be a 2. [06:48] Haruto     Let's go. [07:03] Haruto     Huh? [07:04] Haruto     Seriously? This piece of junk! [07:07] Haruto     No way! [07:08] Haruto     I thought this crystal     ball was a precious item! [07:11] Haruto     The fact that I broke it means... [07:13] Haruto     She must be pretty pissed off! [07:16] Haruto     Yes, yes! [07:17] Haruto     Give in to your anger and     order me to go back home! [07:21] Tear     S... [07:22] Haruto     Yes, go on. [07:24] Tear     Spectacular! [07:26] Tear     Did you see that, Polkos? [07:28] Tear     He shattered the Mija's Crystal! [07:30] Tear     This is proof that he possesses so much     magic, the crystal couldn't handle it! [07:35] Polkos     H-Hold on, Doctor. [07:37] Polkos     I heard that his maximum mana level was 2! [07:41] Tear     Nope, I'm not buying that. [07:43] Tear     There are exceptions to everything. [07:46] Tear     Besides... [07:47] Tear     we still don't understand the underlying     logic behind Mija's Crystals! [07:50] Tear     As magical researchers, we must pursue that     matter before we can talk about his power! [07:55] Tear     And that's not all, you see. [07:58] Tear     Yes. [07:59] Tear     Problems at a royal magician level     were a bit too advanced, I see. [08:03] Haruto     Royal? [08:04] Tear     The courage to put down     "no clue" for every answer... [08:08] Tear     What a breath of fresh air! [08:10] Tear     I like it! [08:12] Tear     And his explanations of barrier     magic are simply splendid! [08:15] Tear     Great answers for the ancient     magic portion, too! [08:18] Tear     They're practically perfect     copies of my own writing! [08:22] Haruto     "My own writing"? [08:24] Haruto     Ah! [08:26] Haruto     She was the author with the     name that was way too long! SIGN    Shock [08:30] Tear     I've made up my mind, Polkos. [08:32] Tear     I'll be taking him under my wing! [08:34] Tear     I'd never let the other professors     have someone so interesting! [08:39] Tear     Keep this matter strictly between us. [08:41] Tear     Okay? [08:41] Polkos     You were the one who did all     this by yourself to begin with! [08:45] Haruto     Hey, hold on a minute.

[10:07] Haruto Copy     I'm supposed to go to the entrance     ceremony in his place today. [10:10] Haruto Copy     The two of us share all     of our past memories. [10:13] Haruto Copy     However, I possess no magic,     and I'm just an empty vessel. [10:18] Haruto Copy     At least I had him cast     defensive magic on me. [10:20] Haruto Copy     And this is for self-defense, huh? [10:23] Haruto Copy     I'm nothing more than a copy. [10:26] Haruto Copy     I have no choice in the matter. [10:26] Sign     Two...

You two. [11:31] Schneidel     You would walk past me without     so much as a salute? [11:36] Iris     My apologies. [11:38] Iris     But I don't recall anything of the     sort in the academy handbook. [11:43] Schneidel     No! [11:44] Schneidel     I'm telling you to bow down to me,      your vice president, Schneidel! [11:48] Iris     I'm sorry. [11:49] Iris     I've just entered the academy today. [11:52] Iris     Is that a part of the rules? [11:54] Schneidel     I see now. [11:56] Schneidel     You there, then! [11:58] Schneidel     Explain it to her. [11:59] Haruto Copy     Huh?! [12:01] Haruto Copy     Hell if I know! [12:02] Haruto Copy     And I don't actually want to spend     any more time with these people, [12:05] Haruto Copy     so time to make up an     excuse to get out of here! [12:09] Haruto Copy     Ah! [12:10] Haruto Copy     Ow, ow, ow, ow! [12:12] Haruto Copy     Ugh, my stomach! [12:13] Haruto Copy     I'm about to burst! [12:14] Haruto Copy     Can I get going now?! [12:15] Schneidel     H-How dare you?! [12:17] Schneidel     You mock me with your vulgar lies?! [12:20] Schneidel     You'll pay for this! [12:21] Schneidel     I'll beat some manners into you directly! [12:25] Haruto Copy     Magic?! [12:26] Haruto Copy     That thing will kill me if it hits me! [12:28] Schneidel     It's far too late to run away! [12:44] Schneidel     Repent for your actions here. [12:50] Haruto Copy     Man, that scared me! [12:53] Haruto Copy     Thank goodness! [12:54] Haruto Copy     That defensive barrier worked! [12:56] Haruto Copy     Thank you, original self. [12:58] Haruto Copy     My uniform's not looking too hot, though. [13:01] Schneidel     Not a scratch after that attack?! [13:03] Haruto Copy     Ah, whoops. [13:04] Haruto Copy     I should have pretended to be in pain. [13:07] Haruto Copy     It came a little late, but the pain! [13:10] Haruto Copy     Agh! It hurts! [13:11] Haruto Copy     It hurts so bad! [13:13] Schneidel     That's absurd! [13:14] Schneidel     How can you still stand?! [13:16] Haruto Copy     My acting was the least     of the problems here. [13:25] Iris     I've assessed the situation and     thought about what action to take. [13:30] Iris     Here, I believe it'd be best to apologize     for getting you caught up in all of this. [13:35] Iris     I'm sorry. [13:37] Haruto Copy     Huh? After all that? [13:38] Iris     As a second option, I came up     with an idea to quell his anger. [13:42] Iris     However, I still can't     understand why he's angry. [13:49] Haruto Copy     I'm aware of how bad I am at     communicating with others... [13:54] Haruto Copy     but she's even worse at     reading the room than I am! [13:57] Schneidel     D-Damn you! [14:00] Schneidel     Damn you! Damn you! [14:02] Schneidel     You've made enough of a fool of me! [14:05] Attendant B     You mustn't, Lord Schneidel! [14:07] Attendant B     You'll end up killing them! [14:08] Schneidel     Shut up! [14:09] Haruto Copy     Whoa there! [14:10] Haruto Copy     That's bad news! [14:11] Haruto Copy     Run away! Quickly! [14:13] Schneidel     Take this! [14:29] Haruto Copy     Time to run away as fast as I can! [14:30] Schneidel     My arm! My arm! [14:40] Haruto     That sure sounds rough. [14:43] Haruto Copy     Afterwards, I was also chased around     by that pint-sized professor. [14:47] (Flashback) Tear     Oh! [14:48] (Flashback) Tear     If it isn't Haruto! [14:50] (Flashback) Tear     Won't you stop by my room for some tea? [14:53] (Flashback) Tear     Haruto! [14:58] Haruto     You go and get some rest. [15:00] Haruto Copy     Okay... [15:04] Haruto     A magic battle with no warning, though? [15:07] Haruto     Something's wrong with this school! [15:18] Haruto     I refuse! [15:21] Attendant B     This is a duel conforming to     noble etiquette, you know! [15:25] Attendant B     Reject it, and you'll bring dishonor     to Margrave Zenfis, as well! [15:29] Haruto     Seriously? [15:30] Attendant B     Also, if you lose on purpose, you'll meet     a worse fate than if you'd rejected it. [15:36] Attendant B     In any case, you'd do well     to give it your all. SIGN    Siiiiiiigh [15:48] Haruto     This has turned into a     real pain in the butt! [15:51] Haruto     I'm up against the vice president, right? [15:54] Haruto     I should assume that he's pretty skilled. [15:57] Haruto     I'm sure my copy ended up     unharmed because he went easy. [16:01] Haruto     Right now, I can only come up with     plans where I lose hideously! [16:05] Haruto     But I don't want to get hurt! SIGN    Hmmmm... [16:11] Haruto     Huh? [16:12] Haruto     What is she *up to? [16:19] Haruto     Eh?

[16:50] Iris     In any case, you're in     no shape for a duel— [16:52] Schneidel     Shut your mouth! [16:55] Schneidel     Can't you heal faster, you slowpoke?! [16:58] Attendant C     My apologies! [17:00] Haruto     What's his deal? [17:02] Haruto     He's the quintessential     image of a big, fat jerk! [17:04] Haruto     Or well, what's she thinking,     going alone to a place like that? [17:09] Schneidel     To begin with, you're asking for     a favor without even an apology?

[17:32] Schneidel     Why don't you dance naked, right here? [17:35] Iris     N-Not even I can agree to that... [17:40] Schneidel     What's wrong? [17:41] Schneidel     Is it not a small price to pay     to find me in good humor? [17:48] Iris     Very well. [17:49] Haruto     What?! [17:53] Haruto     Eh? [17:54] Haruto     She's not serious, right? [18:13] Schneidel     What's wrong? [18:14] Schneidel     Your hands are trembling. [18:16] Schneidel     I can ask them to help you, if you want.

[19:43] Haruto     For the sins you've committed,     I've placed a Vise Block on you. [19:47] Haruto     Let me elaborate on three of your sins! [19:51] Haruto     First, unfairly picking a fight with a     new student and causing a commotion. [19:57] Schneidel     I'm next in line to be head of the Hafen     family, as well as vice president. [20:01] Schneidel     Upperclassmen are permitted to     give guidance to underclassmen! [20:05] Haruto     Guidance, huh? [20:07] Haruto     In other words, it was your     own arbitrary decision. [20:11] Haruto     Second, the duel. [20:13] Haruto     How despicable, trying to publicly punish     an underclassman with no warning. [20:16] Schneidel     Th-That's absurd! [20:18] Schneidel     It's a perfectly respectable way     to protect the honor of a noble— [20:21] Haruto     C'mon now. [20:22] Haruto     If I say that it's wrong, then it's wrong! [20:25] Schneidel     That's pure tyranny right there! [20:27] Haruto     Huh? [20:28] Haruto     Didn't you try and do     basically the same thing? [20:31] Haruto     And finally... [20:33] Haruto     You really shouldn't sexually harass girls! [20:35] Haruto     Dancing naked? [20:37] Haruto     Have you no shame saying that out loud? [20:41] Haruto     For those reasons! [20:43] Haruto     You'll be living with that for a while. [20:46] Haruto     If you use magic or try and take     it off, it'll clamp down tighter. [20:50] Haruto     So be careful. [20:51] Schneidel     Extro patro... [20:55] Haruto     Seriously, I just told you not to! [20:58] Haruto     Call off the duel, since you won't be     able to fight in two days like this. [21:01] Haruto     I'll take it off once you've     atoned for your sins. [21:04] Haruto     See you! [21:12] Crony C     We're back in the room! [21:14] Crony D     What?!
