[00:06] nar
    It appeared as though humanity
    would be destroyed by the demons.
[00:15] Nar
    But a single mage saved them all.
[00:26] Nar
    He was called the Wizard King,
    and he became a legend.
[00:35] Nar
    As a plan to get a strategic upper
    hand against the Clover Kingdom,
[00:39] Nar
    the Diamond Kingdom attacked
    the border town of Kiten.
[00:42] Nar
    But the Golden Dawn arrived
    there before anyone else
[00:46] Nar
    and faced off with the Diamond army,
[00:48] Nar
    quelling the situation.
[00:51] Yuno
    Wind Magic: Swift White Bow.
[01:00] Yuno
    I thought I saw a familiar little speck.
[01:03] Yuno
    What are you doing here, Asta?
[01:07] Yuno
    The fact that you're so beat up means...
[01:11] Yuno
    You got stronger again, didn't you?
[01:13] Finral
    Huh?
[01:14] Yuno
    I'm not losing to you, Asta.
[01:16] Asta
    Look who's talking! You got
    crazy strong, too, you jerk!
[01:20] Asta
    I'm not gonna lose either, Yuno!
SIGN    Behind the Mask
[03:00] Yuno
    Your arm... Is it okay?
[03:02] Asta
    Yeah, I'm fine!
[03:04] Asta
    See? No problem at all!
[03:07] Yuno
    I see. It looks like you're
    as reckless as ever.
[03:12] Bell
    Y-Yuno's actually smiling?
[03:18] Asta
    I think you got a little taller
    since I last saw you, Yuno.
[03:23] Bell
    What the heck? He always acts
    apathetic when he's with me!
[03:27] Yuno
    Oh, yeah. I might've grown
    four or five centimeters.
[03:30] Asta
    How do you keep getting taller so easily?!
[03:33] Asta
    Damn it! I'm not gonna lose!
[03:35] Asta
    I'm gonna get 20 centimeters taller
    by tomorrow and look down on you!
[03:39] Yuno
    Not a chance.
[03:44] Bell
    What are you doing, Yuno?!
[03:46] Bell
    Yuno, who the heck is this twerp?!
[03:56] Bell
    You're acting all apathetic again!
[03:59] Asta
    What the heck is that fussy,
    mysterious little critter?
[04:03] Asta
    Is that the Sylph I've heard so much about?
[04:07] Asta
    I've never seen Yuno make that face!
    Is this the power of the Sylph?!
[04:10] Bell
    Tell me! Who is this mummified shrimp?!
[04:14] Asta
    Hey, you're small, too!
[04:16] Yuno
    He's a guy I used to live with.
[04:20] Bell
    Y-Y-Y-You...
[04:23] Bell
    Y-You lived with him?
[04:26] Yuno
    We would eat together, study together...
[04:29] Asta
    ...sleep in the same bed together,
    and even bathe together.
[04:37] Bell
    Slept in the same bed... and even bathed...?
[04:42] Charmy
    Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky, sneaky...
[04:43] Charmy
    U-Um...
[04:45] Charmy
    It's been a while!
[04:47] Charmy
    Um, thank you so much for
    saving my meal last time.
[04:52] Charmy
    Are you all better now?
[05:00] Yuno
    Oh, you're the girl from back then...
    From the Black Bulls.
[05:04] Charmy
    Please enjoy this after-battle snack!
[05:07] Yuno
    Thanks.
[05:08] Charmy
    I'll even thrown in some extra dragees.
[05:12] Yuno
    Thanks.
[05:16] Bell
    Now who's this insolent child?
    She's clearly head over heels for Yuno.
[05:20] Charmy
    I'm Charmy. May I call you "Yuno"?
[05:23] Yuno
    Sure.
[05:25] Charmy
    La!
[05:26] Yuno
    This is good.
[05:27] Charmy
    La, la!
[05:29] Bell
    But my Sylph senses are telling me that
    she doesn't actually pose a threat.
[05:33] Yuno
    I'm sorry for pushing you
    down so suddenly back then.
[05:36] Charmy
    La...
[05:39] Charmy
    Oh, don't worry about that! It's just
    something that did indeed happen!
[05:44] bell
    P-Push... P-Pushed down?!
[05:49] Charmy
    La?!
[05:50] Bell
    Why, you... You must've used some
    sneaky spell to seduce Yuno!
[05:54] Bell
    You snot-nosed little brat!
[05:57] Charmy
    La? What's this creature?
[05:59] Charmy
    Are you yummy?
[06:01] Asta
    Miz Charmy! She's a spirit!
[06:03] Asta
    Don't eat her!
[06:05] Bell
    What's with you people?!
[06:07] Bell
    Yuno belongs to me, dang it!
[06:09] Charmy
    "Snot-nosed little brat"?
    I can't let that slide.
[06:12] Charmy
    I'm nineteen!
[06:13] Charmy
    I'm older than Yuno and
    rather sophisticated, too!
[06:17] Charmy
    My sexiness doesn't need
    any magical enhancement!
[06:20] Bell
    Sexy?! You're built like a grade-schooler,
    besides your giant forehead!
[06:24] Charmy
    La?! Oh, you did not just go there!
[06:26] Charmy
    You're also built like a grade-schooler
    and have a giant forehead!
[06:30] Bell
    What did you say?! I'll show you
    what happens when you cross a Sylph!
[06:35] Charmy
    You insolent little brat!
[06:45] Charmy
    I'll fry you up and eat you!
[06:49] Charmy
    La!
[06:50] Charmy
    Come back here, you little insect!
[06:53] Asta
    Calm down, Miz Charmy!
[06:56] Yuno
    Bell, that's enough.
[06:59] Finral
    Hup.
[07:02] Finral
    Hey, looks like you're having fun.
[07:04] Finral
    Let me join in.
[07:05] Asta
    Finral.
[07:07] Yuno
    Who's that?
[07:08] Asta
    This is my senior from
    the Black Bulls, Finral.
[07:11] Asta
    You guys haven't met before?
[07:12] Yuno
    Nope.
[07:14] Finral
    It's fine. Not like I'd catch the
    eye of an elite from the Golden—
[07:16] Langris
    What's this?
[07:18] Langris
    Well, well... If it isn't my big brother.
[07:21] Langris
    It's been so long! I never
    dreamed I'd run into you here.
[07:26] Finral
    Langris...
[07:28] Asta
    Who's that?
[07:29] Langris
    What's the black sheep of our family,
     who can barely even fight,
[07:33] Langris
    even doing on the battlefield?
[07:35] Asta
    Finral, who's that rude little twerp?!
[07:39] Finral
    He's my little brother.
[07:40] Asta
    Huh?
[07:41] Yuno
    That's the Vice Captain of the
    Golden Dawn, Langris Vaude.
SIGN    Golden Dawn Vice Captain
    Langris Vaude
[07:47] Asta
    What? Vice captain?!
[07:50] Langris
    Are you still acting as the
    Black Bulls' pack mule, Finral?
[07:54] Langris
    It looks like I'll have to be the next head
[07:57] Langris
    of the Vaude family,
    since you're such a loser.
[08:01] Asta
    Get over yourself!
[08:02] Asta
    Finral's awesome!
[08:04] Asta
    At the Underwater Temple,
[08:06] Asta
    it was only because I had Finral's help
    that we were able to defeat the enemy!
[08:10] Langris
    Wow! You mean you were actually
    useful for once in your life?
[08:15] Asta
    More importantly, how can you talk to
    your big brother like that, you punk?!
[08:20] Langris
    How dare you address the Vice Captain
    of the Golden Dawn like that?
[08:24] Asta
    Wh-What did you say?!
[08:27] Finral
    It's okay, Asta. He's only telling the truth.
[08:32] Asta
    But...
[08:33] Finral
    It's fine.
[08:35] Langris
    We've already cleaned up
     most of the enemies...
[08:38] Langris
    Or rather, our captain dealt
    with most of them himself.
[08:42] Langris
    The Bulls aren't needed here anymore.
[08:46] Lanbris
    And anyway...
[08:48] Langris
    When did the Black Bulls
    become a daycare center?
[08:52] Langris
    Looking after two children must be rough.
[08:56] Langris
    Aren't you embarrassed at having
    to babysit those two rugrats?
[08:59] Asta
    Who're you calling a rugrat?!
[09:02] Charmy
    I'll show you the charms of a mature woman!
[09:02] Asta
    I'm not a little kid, damn it!
[09:05] Finral
    Langris, you can insult me
    to your heart's content.
[09:10] Langris
    Hmph.
[09:12] Finral
    But... don't you dare insult the
    members of my Black Bulls!
[09:17] Langris
    Wow. Who knew you could look so scary?
[09:33] Yagos
    You little brat...
[09:35] Yagos
    On the honor of the Eight Shining Generals,
    I'm taking your head back home with me!
[09:40] Langris
    Oh, dear... You're still alive?
[09:43] Langris
    Not only that, but at this rate,
[09:45] Langris
    my spatial magic is going
     to hit those civilians.
[09:50] Yagos
    You can't lay a finger on me, Magic Knights!
[09:55] Lady
    Save us!
[10:02] Langris
    I don't have time to hesitate.
[10:04] Langris
    Oh, well. They'll just have to be noble
    sacrifices for the sake of our country.
[10:08] Asta
    Hold it!
[10:12] Asta
    How can you even think about
    abandoning our citizens?!
[10:15] Asta
    We're Magic Knights!
[10:17] Langris
    And if this goes on, we'll just
    end up with even more victims!
[10:21] Asta
    Shut up! I'm not gonna abandon anyone!
[10:24] Asta
    Finral! Miz Charmy!
[10:26] Finral
    Right!
[10:27] Charmy
    Roger!
[10:28] Asta
    Just you watch, Yuno!
[10:34] Yuno
    Let's see what you've got.
[10:36] Langris
    What can you possibly do
    in the condition you're in?
[10:40] Langris
    Talk about a lively retreat...
[10:43] Charmy
    Cotton Creation Magic: Fluffy Sheep Cushion!
[10:55] Yagos
    Who the hell are you?!
    Stay out of this, brat!
[11:04] Yagos
    Spatial magic?
[11:23] Yagos
    Wh-What?! My magic disappeared!
[11:29] Yagos
    What did you do, you brat?!
[11:59] Asta
    Looks like I owe you one, Yuno.
[12:01] Yuno
    Your fighting style's
    as insane as ever, Asta.
[12:07] Bell
    Yuno's smiling again! Hmph!
[12:10] Finral
    Langris...
[12:13] Finral
    You're right. I can't beat you.
[12:16] Finral
    But...
[12:18] Finral
    The Black Bulls will beat the Golden Dawn!
[12:21] Asta
    Yeah!
[12:26] Yami
    Man, your world tree magic
    is as impressive as ever.
[12:32] William
    Exactly what are you trying to say?
[12:34] Yami
    I'm someone who believes his gut instincts.
[12:39] Yami
    Vangeance...
[12:41] Yami
    Could you take off that mask?
[12:54] Yami
    Vangeance...
[12:56] Yami
    Could you take off that mask?
[13:00] William
    This isn't a face that most
    people would want to see.
[13:04] Yami
    What? Are you, like, super ugly
    under there or something?
[13:07] Yami
    Don't worry. I promise I won't laugh.
[13:11] William
    I know what this is, Yami.
[13:13] William
    You suspect that I may be the leader of
    the Eye of the Midnight Sun, don't you?
[13:20] Yami
    Frankly, yeah.
[13:22] Yami
    His light magic and your world
    tree magic are obviously different,
[13:28] Yami
    but something's really bugging me.
[13:30] Yami
    Their builds, their voices, and more
    than anything, their ki feels the same.
[13:35] Yami
    But...
[13:36] Yami
    I think it's been about ten
    years since I first met you.
[13:39] William
    Indeed.
[13:40] Yami
    We met on the battlefield, and after that,
    we fought together from time to time.
[13:45] Yami
    Then we became captains at the same time.
[13:48] Yami
    Nozel's braid shook like
    crazy when that happened.
[13:52] Yami
    It's not like we're best buds or anything,
[13:54] Yami
    but we go back pretty far, don't we?
[13:57] Yami
    I feel something similar in you...
[14:00] Yami
    So just let me see your face, all right?
[14:06] William
    Very well.
[14:25] Yami
    That's one hell of a scar.
    Did you get it on the battlefield?
[14:28] William
    No, I was born with it.
[14:30] William
    They called me a cursed child.
[14:32] Yami
    A cursed child?
[14:34] William
    Even magic couldn't fix this scar.
[14:37] William
    It creeped out the people around me,
     and they came to fear me.
[14:41] William
    I was the illegitimate
    child of a certain noble.
[14:43] William
    I lived in the Forsaken Realm
     until I was eight.
[14:48] William
    But following the loss of that noble's heir,
    I was taken in as an aristocrat.
[14:55] William
    Fortunately, I had great magical power,
    and my world tree magic was viewed with awe.
[15:00] William
    But even there, they loathed my face.
[15:04] William
    In addition, my foster mother
    brutally abused me.
[15:07] William
    It was a hellish childhood.
[15:13] Yami
    You sure had it rough, didn't you?
[15:15] William
    But in the midst of all that,
    I met Lord Julius.
[15:19] William
    He didn't care about my appearance.
    All he saw was my power.
[15:33] (Flashback) Julius
    Little boy, what kind of magic is that?
[15:35] (Flashback) William
    I-It's world tree magic, sir.
[15:37] (Flashback) julius
    World tree magic?! How sublime and majestic!
[15:42] (Flashback) julius
    That's terrific!
[15:47] (Flashback) julius
    Most of all... It's as though your
    kindness is trying to protect everything.
[15:52] (Flashback) julius
    What wonderful magic!
[15:55] (Flashback) julius
    You should definitely join the Magic Knights!
[16:01] (Flashback) Julius
    Do you not want to?
[16:03] (Flashback) William
    N-No! I would love to...
[16:05] (Flashback) William
    I never even thought about
    joining the Magic Knights.
[16:09] (Flashback) William
    But my face...
[16:12] (Flashback) Julius
    It's nothing to worry about.
[16:15] (Flashback) William
    Huh?
[16:17] (Flashback) Julius
    It really is nothing to worry about, 
    but if you are so worried about it...
[16:23] (Flashback) Julius
    In that case...
[16:25] (Flashback) Julius
    I'll give you this mask!
[16:32] (Flashback) William
    Lord Julius, this is so... tacky.
[16:36] (Flashback) Julius
    What?! But it's my best work!
[16:40] William
    I was happy.
[16:41] William
    I wanted to pledge my
    grimoire to his service.
[16:46] Yami
    This story sounds pretty familiar.
[16:49] Yami
    The lines of his face also look like Licht's.
[16:51] Yami
    But I can't sense the slightest
    trace of magic from his scar.
[16:56] Yami
    He doesn't seem to be doing anything tricky
    with magic or showing me an illusion.
[17:00] Yami
    And more than anything...
[17:02] Yami
    His ki tells me he's not lying.
[17:05] Yami
    I guess this was just some odd coincidence.
[17:08] Yami
    Sorry about that.
[17:10] William
    No... I'm glad I was able to tell you
    and show you things as they really are.
[17:14] William
    Thank you, Yami.
[17:16] Yami
    I see.
[17:17] Klaus
    Captain Vangeance! Captain Vangeance!
[17:20] Klaus
    The Diamonds have begun to retreat.
[17:22] William
    Understood. There's no need to
    pursue those who are fleeing.
[17:25] William
    Could you concentrate on helping the injured?
[17:27] Klaus
    Understood, sir.
[17:29] William
    Shall we go, too? There are
    plenty of captives.
[17:33] William
    It's going to be a pain
    transporting them all.
[17:35] Yami
    Yeah.
[17:36] Yami
    Oh, if we're transporting captives,
    I brought some useful guys along.
[17:39] Yami
    Let's work 'em to the bone.
[17:40] William
    Within reason, of course.
[17:44] Finral
    I wonder if a cute girl is talking about me.
[17:47] Finral
    Looks like the fighting has calmed down,
    so why don't we meet up with Yami?
[17:50] Asta
    Good idea.
[17:51] Charmy
    La?! Already?
[17:52] Asta
    Well, see ya, Yuno.
[17:54] Yuno
    Yeah, see you, Asta. Don't eat
    stuff you find lying on the ground.
[17:58] Asta
    Like I'd do that! I mean, I used to, but...
[18:02] Charmy
    Um, c-could I maybe ask for your address?
[18:06] Bell
    Stay away from Yuno, you thieving raccoon!
[18:08] Charmy
    La! Scales!
[18:10] Charmy
    Your scales are getting in my eyes!
[18:13] Charmy
    La! No way!
[18:15] Charmy
    I'm gonna fry you up!
[18:17] Charmy
    Come back here!
[18:18] Charmy
    Get away from me!
[18:19] Bell
    You little insect!
[18:20] Charmy
    La?
[18:21] Charmy
    La! I'm definitely going
    to fry you up next time!
[18:28] Finral
    I know it's too late to take it back now,
[18:30] Finral
    but the worst squad just picked
    a fight with the best squad!
[18:34] Asta
    Does your stomach hurt, Finral?
[18:39] Asta
    I wanna hurry up and practice with my sword!
[18:41] Charmy
    I wanted to talk with Yuno more!
[18:44] Charmy
    I'm going to eat my sorrows away!
[18:46] Finral
    You guys are way too laid-back! I mean,
    I'm the one who picked the fight, but...
[18:49] Charmy
    Now, now. Here, eat this. Nomity noms.
[18:56] Finral
    Hey, it's good.
[19:03] Langris
    Honestly, what a vulgar bunch.
[19:06] Langris
    You should be more careful about
    who you associate with, Yuno.
[19:13] Langris
    Aren't you embarrassed to be seen with them?
[19:16] Yuno
    Why?
[19:18] Yuno
    I've never thought that, not even once.
[19:20] Yuno
    I'm proud of Asta, and he's my rival.
[19:25] Langris
    Rival? That guy?
[19:27] Langris
    Rival in what? Are you guys
    competing for something?
[19:31] Yuno
    Yeah...
[19:33] Finral
    By the way, Asta, was it okay to
    just leave so abruptly like that?
[19:38] Finral
    That handsome guy is your
    old friend, isn't he?
[19:40] Asta
    It's fine!
[19:41] Asta
    We'll meet on some other battlefield, anyway.
[19:44] Asta
    Because...
[19:46] Both
    ...we're both working to
    become the Wizard King!
[19:50] Langris
    The Wizard King?!
[19:53] Langris
    You really aren't embarrassed
    to say that at all, are you?!
[19:56] Langris
    Maybe you peasants don't
     even feel embarrassment.
[20:01] Langris
    I'd expect no less from the great peasant
    who was chosen by the four-leaf grimoire!
[20:05] Bell
    What's your problem?! I won't
    allow you to make fun of Yuno—
[20:10] Yuno
    There's no rule that says commoners
    can't become the Wizard King.
[20:14] Langris
    Huh?
[20:15] Yuno
    So first, I'll become the
    Captain of the Golden Dawn.
[20:20] Langris
    I see. Meaning you're completely
    ignoring my existence as vice captain.
[20:26] Klaus
    Yuno, things are taken care of over here.
[20:28] Klaus
    All the wounded are taken care of, too.
[20:32] Klaus
    What in the world happened?
[20:34] Marx
    The Diamond forces have retreated,
    and we've taken a number of captives.
[20:38] Marx
    Kiten was successfully defended.
[20:40] Julius
    Excellent work.
[20:41] Julius
    Please see to the repair
    of the damaged buildings
[20:44] Julius
    and set up shelters immediately.

    Now, then... I don't think that was
[20:50] Julius

    to us Mage Warriors, the new generals!
