According to my spy, now that
their Nine Tails experiment has failed,
[02:30] ---
they're planning to set the demon eaters onto demons
with immortality and regenerative skills.
[02:37] ---
Who in their right mind would believe
any intel from your sketchy spies?

You're not even bothering to hide

Well, we already have that area under patrol.

It shouldn't be a problem.
[02:50] ---
And there's no question
that the Elixir is still incomplete.
[02:54] ---
Damn!
[02:55] ---
Meaning that the Illuminati still does not have
a vessel for Satan in place.
[03:00] ---
This is quite significant.
[03:02] ---
However, Grigori...
[03:04] ---
while the gate itself is under control now,

[03:19] ---
The demons are growing
more active worldwide.
[03:22] ---
Not just the scrubs.
The higher-level ones, as well.
[03:25] ---
At this rate, humans all over the world
will start seeing demons.
[03:30] ---
And those demons will gain in strength
due to being detected by the humans.
[03:36] ---
This could throw the world
into one hellish condition.
[03:41] ---
This organization called "the Illuminati"...
[03:43] ---
is much more colossal in scope
than we originally thought.
[03:47] ---
Surely, there are numerous traitors
among the ranks of the Knights of the True Cross.
[03:52] ---
We have no choice but to acknowledge...
[03:55] ---
that the Illuminati is the most vile enemy
of humankind in history.
[03:59] ---
Shut up, you cursed demon! Aren't you
the leader of those very traitors you speak of?
[04:05] ---
As I've grown weary of all your suspicion...
[04:09] ---
not that I know if it will serve as proof...
[04:14] ---
In order to keep time around the gate
at a standstill, I, too...
[04:18] ---
am staking my own body.
[04:26] ---
Hey, sorry I couldn't back you up more in there.
[04:30] ---
No matter.
[04:32] ---
You're my brain.
[04:34] ---
As long as you're working for the Order,
don't be shy with me.
[04:37] ---
That's what I love about you!
[04:40] ---
I have a favor to ask of you
if you don't mind my imposing on you.
[04:45] ---
I have no intention
of devoting myself to defense.
[04:50] ---
We received word from Lord Pheles today.
[04:53] ---
The date of the Exorcist Certification Exams
are being moved up.
[04:56] ---
Huh?
[04:57] ---
With this change of schedule...
[04:59] ---
you will be asked to resubmit
your Meister application.
[05:03] ---
Everyone, please make your choice
after careful consideration.
[05:06] ---
Why are they moving it up
all of a sudden?
[05:08] ---
Hey! Our next demon class
is being held outdoors!
[05:10] ---
Wait!
[05:11] ---
You're right! I have to get going!
[05:11] ---
What's my next class again?
[05:13] ---
Demon Psychology,
so you don't have to switch classrooms.
[05:16] ---
Oh, right, that's the one!
[05:17] ---
I just answered like I normally do.
[05:21] ---
Yukio...
[05:23] ---
You'll be late getting home
tonight again, right?
[05:25] ---
Yeah.
[05:26] ---
What do you eat at night?
[05:28] ---
What? Convenience store food
or protein supplements.
[05:31] ---
Oh, my word!
[05:33] ---
If you keep doing that,
it might lead to an unbalanced diet!
[05:36] ---
Your mama is so worried!
[05:37] ---
Don't worry, Mama. They've gotten
pretty tasty these days.
[05:41] ---
Well, it's not a matter
of being tasty or not.
[05:43] ---
Thanks.
[05:45] ---
But I'll be fine, okay?
[05:47] ---
I'll be coming home from time to time,
so if you could make me something then...
[05:50] ---
Is that right?
[05:51] ---
If you need anything, Shiemi,
please consult me.
[05:55] ---
- See you later!
- R-Right!
[06:00] ---
Rin...
[06:01] ---
Huh?
[06:02] ---
What's going on with Yuki?
[06:05] ---
Huh?
[06:07] ---
Isn't he acting distant toward you?
[06:09] ---
He has the same look on his face
as when he speaks to me.
[06:13] ---
What do you mean?
[06:15] ---
With me...
[06:16] ---
Yuki's always full of smiles.
[06:18] ---
Well, sure, since he always acts cool
in front of you!
[06:24] ---
To me, it feels like he's bouncing
a "Don't get any closer" vibe off me.
[06:31] ---
But he's not like that with you
or Ms. Kirigakure, is he?
[06:35] ---
Since he's known her since he was a kid,
and since you're family...
[06:38] ---
I think he can be himself.
[06:41] ---
So, I'm wondering what's going on with Yuki.
[06:46] ---
You sure keep a close eye on Yukio, huh?
[06:49] ---
What?
[06:50] ---
You're absolutely right.
[06:52] ---
That's why there's nothing I can do.
[06:55] ---
Oh no.
[06:56] ---
Why don't you ask him
if there's something on his mind?
[06:59] ---
If you're the one asking,
I'm sure Yuki will...
[07:01] ---
I did ask him.
[07:02] ---
And then he started acting like that.
[07:05] ---
I'm probably... not the one to ask.
[07:08] ---
Why do you say that?
[07:10] ---
Because he...
[07:12] ---
hates to lose, you know.
[07:20] ---
Why are you lost in thought
in a place like this?
[07:23] ---
You can look down on the meeting from here.
[07:26] ---
I hear that the leaders
of the Kanto Field Office are here, too.
[07:30] ---
Maybe they'll mention why they're moving up
the certification exams.
[07:34] ---
Hey, don't tell me you're on the fence
about becoming an exorcist.
[07:38] ---
Huh?
[07:39] ---
Of course I'm not!
[07:40] ---
I'm totally going for it!
[07:42] ---
Is that right?
[07:43] ---
In that case, it shouldn't matter.
[07:47] ---
But I do understand a bit how you feel.
[07:51] ---
How it feels to have lost
your loved ones and your goals...
[07:54] ---
and to be left hanging.
[08:00] ---
Well, you're the one who should be...
[08:03] ---
Aren't you on the fence
about it yourself?
[08:07] ---
I'm going to become an exorcist.
[08:10] ---
Since I have nowhere else to go.
[08:12] ---
And I've lost everything.
[08:14] ---
I actually feel relieved, you know.
[08:20] ---
You've changed.
[08:22] ---
Huh? Do you have a problem with that?
[08:25] ---
I like you better this way.
[08:28] ---
Why should I have to tolerate
that kind of talk from you?
[08:31] ---
Hey, that was a compliment!
[08:33] ---
Hey, so there you are!
[08:35] ---
Uh, yeah.
[08:37] ---
If everyone's in the classroom,
bring them over here.
[08:39] ---
They're about to start a meeting.
[08:41] ---
A meeting?
[08:44] ---
Guten Morgen!
[08:47] ---
I'm going to cut right to the chase.
[08:49] ---
As I'm sure you all know,
[08:51] ---
demonic activity has been intensifying
on a global scale from about two months ago.
[08:57] ---
Even here on campus,
we've been seeing more of the small fries.
[09:01] ---
There's also been a surge
in exorcism requests,
[09:03] ---
and the Vatican Headquarters has ordered us
to increase the number of exorcists at once.
[09:09] ---
We'll start by joining forces
with exorcist groups from outside the Order,
[09:14] ---
so that when push comes to shove,
we can call upon them for backup.
[09:18] ---
We will also be moving up the Exorcist Certification
Exams to the beginning of next year,
[09:24] ---
so that we can drastically increase
the number of exorcists.
[09:28] ---
The beginning of next year?
[09:29] ---
But that only gives us a month and a half!
[09:32] ---
Are they really that short on exorcists?
[09:34] ---
Explain to us just why
the demons are more active now!
[09:38] ---
How is the headquarters'
investigation proceeding?
[09:41] ---
If we increase the number of exorcists so soon,
won't it lead to a drop-off in quality?
[09:46] ---
Please rest assured.
[09:48] ---
Actually, the Vatican Headquarters
has sent us a formidable ally.
[09:54] ---
Allow me to introduce him to you.
[09:55] ---
Lewin!
[10:00] ---
It's a colony of Hobgoblins!
[10:02] ---
Oh my. But great timing.
[10:05] ---
Please go ahead and introduce yourself.
[10:08] ---
What?
[10:09] ---
It sure feels like I've been set up.
[10:12] ---
But it's such a nice day.
Someone might be coming!
[10:15] ---
What?
[10:16] ---
That's Lightning?
[10:19] ---
Furfur!
[10:21] ---
Furfur...
[10:23] ---
The highest-ranked kin of the Spirit demons.
[10:27] ---
Not only that, but to summon it, you need
a seriously long chant and complex ritual.
[10:33] ---
Great Ikazuchi...
[10:35] ---
Lord of the Great Arc...
[10:38] ---
and so on!
[10:42] ---
Kaboom!
[10:49] ---
"A-And so on"?
[10:53] ---
Uh— Ahem!
[10:55] ---
Allow me to introduce him again.
[10:57] ---
A member of the Arch Knights...
[10:59] ---
commonly known as "Lightning"...
[11:01] ---
Lewin Light!
[11:04] ---
Oh hey, hello there!
You're embarrassing me!
[11:10] ---
Amazing!
[11:15] ---
So, from here on in...
[11:17] ---
I'll be taking over Ms. Kirigakure's class, Magic Circles
and Seals. I'm looking forward to working with you!
[11:24] ---
Hey!
[11:26] ---
There are other cram school students
and even exorcists here in the wrong classroom!
[11:30] ---
Everyone must want to learn
from Lightning. Why wouldn't they?
[11:34] ---
I mean, you don't get
a chance like this every day!
[11:37] ---
Tell me, what's this?
[11:40] ---
All righty, Satan's spawn
and wielder of the blue flames...
[11:44] ---
Rin Okumura!
[11:45] ---
Give us your answer!

SEALS CLASS
FOR BEGINNERS
[11:46] ---
Cut that out!
[11:48] ---
Um...
[11:50] ---
The buttons on
a PlayStart controller?
[11:52] ---
So close!
[11:54] ---
The answer is...
[11:55] ---
the seal that I normally use
to summon demons, et cetera.
[11:58] ---
Not close at all!
[12:00] ---
Simple, isn't it?
[12:01] ---
In actual combat,
you need speedy reflexes.
[12:05] ---
Toward that end,
[12:06] ---
I'm going to show you how to streamline
complex magic circles and long chants.
[12:13] ---
Let's make friends with the demons!
[12:15] ---
Or, let's network
with the demons in authority!
[12:18] ---
And so on!
[12:25] ---
Oh hey...
[12:26] ---
I was just kidding.
[12:28] ---
We're being treated to such a great class,
but everyone disappeared, huh?
[12:32] ---
Is that guy even thinking
of teaching us the right way?
[12:35] ---
"Let's make friends with the demons!"
Of course everyone's like, "Don't give us that!"
[12:39] ---
And who are you to talk?
[12:41] ---
But what Lightning said is true.
[12:44] ---
After all, it's a fact that we humans need
help from the demons to battle them.
[12:50] ---
And there are good demons, too, right?
[12:52] ---
Nee!
[12:54] ---
Oh hey, you guys...
[12:56] ---
Could someone give me a hand?
[12:58] ---
Preferably strong people!
[13:01] ---
Oh man, I owe you one!
[13:02] ---
I just can't seem to get
this place cleared out.
[13:08] ---
It's a trash house!
[13:09] ---
Ugh!
[13:10] ---
It stinks!
[13:12] ---
What? Really?
[13:13] ---
I can't tell myself.
[13:15] ---
All right, let's have Sylphs ventilate.
[13:18] ---
Sylphie!
[13:21] ---
I'll build you a bonfire later,
so get to work!
[13:34] ---
H-Hey! Wow! All of a sudden,
the air's super fresh!
[13:39] ---
He didn't follow a single protocol!
[13:42] ---
I've never seen
a summoning method like that!
[13:44] ---
I-Is that a special lighter?
[13:48] ---
Huh? Not at all.
[13:49] ---
Sylphs love fire.
[13:53] ---
You've studied
the Demonic Elements chart, right?
[13:55] ---
Air has an affinity with fire and water.
[13:58] ---
You can't go wrong knowing
your coworkers' preferences, you know.
[14:03] ---
All right, could you shove all the books
in this box onto those shelves?
[14:09] ---
Right.
[14:13] ---
Um...
[14:17] ---
Hey, stop fooling around!
[14:23] ---
It cut me!
[14:25] ---
Hey, we can't have that.
Let's exorcise them now.
[14:27] ---
What, exorcise? You're going to kill them?
[14:30] ---
We can't allow this kind of thing.
[14:33] ---
Talk about coldhearted.
[14:34] ---
But there aren't any Death Verses for Sylphs.
[14:37] ---
Mortem.
[14:41] ---
An original Death Verse?
[14:43] ---
And just one word no less!
[14:46] ---
That's amazing. Controlling demons at will...
[14:49] ---
No wonder they call you "Lightning"!
[14:51] ---
Oh, please!
[14:52] ---
You're Ryuji Suguro, right?
[14:54] ---
I hear you have phenomenal memorization skills and
already know most of the Death Verses and Scriptures.
[14:59] ---
I'm sure you'll become a fine exorcist.
[15:05] ---
I no longer...
[15:08] ---
have any reason to become an exorcist.
[15:12] ---
To defeat Satan, right?
[15:14] ---
No!
[15:15] ---
My reason...
[15:17] ---
my ambition...
[15:19] ---
was to defeat Satan, who scattered my family,
[15:22] ---
and bring my family back together
one more time!
[15:25] ---
But my family's already started
going off in their own directions!
[15:30] ---
My ambition isn't needed!
[15:33] ---
Why am I telling this guy about this?
[15:37] ---
So, in order to become an exorcist,
I've got to find a new ambition!
[15:45] ---
You've gotten your priorities backward!
[15:47] ---
Don't tell me you need ambition
to eat or to take a bath?
[15:52] ---
I do need it! Ambition is the force
that pushes me forward!
[15:57] ---
How about you?
[15:58] ---
Why did you become an exorcist?
[16:00] ---
Are you telling me
that you had no reason at all?
[16:06] ---
Well, I...
[16:08] ---
When I was little,
my whole family was killed by a demon.
[16:13] ---
Hey, I'm just kidding!
[16:14] ---
What the hell?
[16:16] ---
Sorry, I'll give you
a serious answer now.
[16:20] ---
I have no epic dreams or ambitions.
[16:23] ---
Nor an especially sad past
or even an enemy I want revenge on.
[16:29] ---
If anything, I'd have to say
that I like this world.
[16:37] ---
That's all there is to it.
[16:41] ---
Lightning...
[16:42] ---
Huh?
[16:45] ---
Please make me your apprentice!
[16:48] ---
Whoa! You're prostrating yourself!
[16:49] ---
Huh? What the hell's gotten
into you, Suguro?
[16:52] ---
Did your brain go haywire
because you're too smart?
[16:55] ---
Even I don't know why.
[16:57] ---
I don't know why...
[16:58] ---
but I want to learn from this guy!
[17:01] ---
What? No way!
[17:03] ---
Huh?
[17:04] ---
Teaching isn't my thing.
[17:06] ---
And besides, you look really competent.
[17:09] ---
There's probably no need
for me to teach you.
[17:11] ---
Yes, there is!
[17:12] ---
If I can't be your apprentice,
I'll be your assistant or whatever!
[17:15] ---
Suguro...
[17:16] ---
You're putting me on the spot!
[17:18] ---
I know!
[17:19] ---
If you give that to me,
you can be my apprentice.
[17:21] ---
The Koma Sword!
[17:23] ---
Like I'd ever say yes to that!
[17:25] ---
You're not ready to sacrifice
yourself for a friend, then?
[17:28] ---
So cold! You'd think
you were the son of Satan!
[17:31] ---
I am the son of Satan!
[17:32] ---
Oh, I see. What a shame, huh?
[17:35] ---
So, just clean the place up for now, okay?
[17:40] ---
Wow, impressive!
[17:42] ---
I can't believe those are my bookshelves!
[17:44] ---
All right, finish up the job.
[17:47] ---
Yeah, yeah.
[17:48] ---
Huh? What's this?
[17:50] ---
Whoa!
[17:52] ---
Hey! I'm trapped in here!
[17:53] ---
What's this?
[17:54] ---
Hey, what a blast from the past!
[17:56] ---
Let me out!
[17:57] ---
That's Demon Karuta.
[17:59] ---
The game where you match reading cards with chants
to picture cards with magic circles.
[18:03] ---
They're often used in Aria exams, too.
[18:06] ---
Do you hear me?
[18:07] ---
Want to learn while playing?
[18:09] ---
I came here to clean up.
[18:12] ---
I'm not going to make you
my disciple...
[18:14] ---
even if you're serious
about cleaning up.
[18:16] ---
Hey!
[18:18] ---
There's a quicker way, you know that!
[18:21] ---
Right now, you can take
as much as you want.
[18:23] ---
Hey! You still haven't given up?
[18:27] ---
That sword might as well be
Okumura's very life.
[18:30] ---
You shouldn't turn it into a joke.
[18:33] ---
I'm going to clean up.
[18:37] ---
Oh my! Those Demon Karuta cards are cursed.
[18:40] ---
Huh?
[18:43] ---
Heaven and Earth, listen to me.
[18:47] ---
My words rain down like dew...
[18:47] ---
Once a reading card's been unleashed,
a ghost continues to chant until the game ends.
[18:53] ---
Before you know it,
a demon will be summoned!
[18:57] ---
Oh, crap!
[18:59] ---
Hey, you nailed it!
[19:00] ---
Impressive!
[19:02] ---
Don't just stand there admiring me!
Do something, please!
[19:04] ---
You came here to clean up, right?
[19:06] ---
Get to it, then.
[19:09] ---
What the hell is this?
[19:11] ---
Could it be...
[19:12] ---
that he's testing me?
[19:16] ---
Huh?
[19:17] ---
What, is that English?
[19:19] ---
It's Latin.
[19:20] ---
What chance does he have, then?
[19:22] ---
W-Wow! You're crazy cool, Suguro!
[19:26] ---
Oh? So you've memorized the chants
that aren't in your first language, too?
[19:31] ---
Have to admit, that is amazing.
[19:33] ---
You seem to have memorized
where all the scattered cards are located...
[19:36] ---
and you've got great eyesight and hearing.
[19:40] ---
Dammit!
[19:41] ---
I only just started learning
the non-Japanese ones!
[19:45] ---
Who knows how long I can hold out?
[19:47] ---
Not to mention, it's been nothing
but high-level demon summoning chants!
[19:52] ---
If even one of them gets summoned here...
[19:57] ---
H-Hindi?
[19:59] ---
I have no idea what they're saying!
[20:01] ---
Y-You're good.
[20:03] ---
Calm down.
[20:05] ---
Suguro?
[20:06] ---
The reason I was studying firearms...
[20:08] ---
Wasn't it...
[20:11] ---
for times like these?
[20:16] ---
What's this familiar scent?
[20:18] ---
That one's bad news!
[20:20] ---
The Impure Baron.
[20:21] ---
A scrub among the Impure clan,
but still high level.
[20:26] ---
I'm gonna prove to you that I can handle
both offense and defense in battle!
[20:29] ---
Take this!
[20:39] ---
Ugh, that stinks! It's miasma!
[20:42] ---
Hey Lightning,
do something about it already!
[20:46] ---
Lightning?
[20:50] ---
Dammit!
[20:51] OS
BWAHAHAHA
[20:52] ---
Hey!
[20:54] ---
What kind of weapon is that?
It's not a weapon?
[20:57] ---
If there's no gun, what am I—
[21:06] ---
When you want to eliminate demons
that have been summoned...
[21:09] ---
just destroy the magic circle.
[21:14] ---
That's Exorcism 101, right?
[21:18] ---
If you'd exorcised the ghost
that's possessed the reading card...
[21:22] ---
then you would've resolved it
in the blink of an eye.
[21:25] ---
I know you're smart.
[21:27] ---
What on earth happened?
[21:32] ---
It's over.
[21:35] ---
Demanding that he take me as his apprentice after making
such a fool of myself... How presumptuous is that?
[21:41] ---
Please forgive me!
[21:47] ---
All right.
[21:49] ---
I'll take you as my apprentice.
[21:51] ---
Huh?
[21:55] ---
B-But why?
[21:57] ---
Well, you're a real straight-arrow
and an honest guy,
[22:01] ---
so I figured I could put you to use.
[22:06] ---
That said, outside of your
classes and cram school,
[22:09] ---
you're going to work
as my assistant.
[22:11] ---
Anything you want to know,
just pilfer it from me.
[22:14] ---
Okay?
[22:15] ---
R-Right!
[22:17] ---
Great, why don't you finish
clearing out my room now?
[22:20] ---
Huh?
[22:21] ---
Wash these.
[22:23] ---
Go get me a hamburger!
[22:24] ---
Come up with a lesson plan
for cram school.
[22:27] ---
Shave me.
[22:28] ---
And while you're at it,
clean me up, too!
[22:32] ---
My bad.
[22:33] ---
I couldn't help clobbering your master.
[22:35] ---
You did me a solid.
[22:37] ---
I was just about to do it myself
right after becoming his disciple.
[22:41] ---
All right, I'll be heading home now.
[22:43] ---
Right.
[22:44] ---
K-Koma Sword...
[22:46] ---
Let me touch it
just once someday, will ya?
[22:49] ---
You don't ever give up, do you?
[22:53] ---
What, are you that into demons?
[22:56] ---
Yeah.
[22:57] ---
They scare the hell out of me,
[22:59] ---
and yet I can't stop
wanting to get close to them.
[23:02] ---
It's a little like romance.
[23:06] ---
Hmm...
[23:07] ---
Different strokes
for different folks, I guess.
[23:14] ---
Rin!
[23:15] ---
Huh?
[23:15] ---
You're late!
[23:17] ---
I came to meet you
because I got hungry!
[23:19] ---
Man...
[23:23] ---
Is Yukio home?
[23:25] ---
No, he's not.
[23:27] ---
Is that right?
[23:34] OS
