[00:07] Demon King
    If you fail to stop me, the world
    will come to an end, Great Hero.
[00:18] Blade
    So this is all I've got?
[00:42] Blade
    Enough with the cheap moves.
[00:44] Blade
    Let's settle things once and for all.
[00:46] Blade
    You and me, going all out.
[00:49] Demon King
    Very well.
[00:50] Demon King
    I couldn't ask for more.
[00:59] Blade
    Dragon Series, Fifth Sword.
[01:00] Demon King
    Satanic power at full force.
[01:06] Demon King
    Be reduced to ashes!
[01:09] Blade
    Dragon Annihilator!
[01:47] Blade
    It's finally over...
[02:14] Student 1
    Good morning!
[02:14] Student 2
    Oh, you're here.
[02:16] Student K
    Good morning!
[02:17] Student A
    Good morning!
[02:18] Blade
    Oh! They're greeting each other!
[02:20] Blade
    Is that what friends do?!
[02:22] Student E
    Good morning!
[02:22] Student B
    Morning. You're here early.
[02:25] Blade
    I see! This is what normal people do!
[02:30] Blade
    All right!
[02:31] Blade
    Starting today, I'm going to make friends
    and live life as an ordinary person!
SIGN    Episode 1
SIGN    Earnest
[02:45] Blade
    Okay! Time to make some friends!
[02:48] Blade
    Good morning!
[02:49] Blade
    Good morning!
[02:50] Blade
    Good morning!
[02:51] Blade
    Good morning!
[02:52] Blade
    Good morning! Good morning!
[02:53] Yessica
    Pretty funny student we've got here.
[02:56] Blade
    Good morning! Good morning!
[02:56] Claire
    Do you think he's a new transfer?
[02:59] Kassim
    Whoa, he's coming this way!
[03:01] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[03:03] Claire
    Ah, yes.
[03:04] Claire
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[03:06] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[03:07] Kassim
    You sure are a weirdo.
[03:09] Kassim
    I'm Kassim.
[03:10] Clay
    My name's Clay. Nice to meet you.
[03:12] Yessica
    I'm Yessica.
[03:13] Claire
    Oh, um... I'm Claire.
[03:15] Blade
    I see!
[03:17] Blade
    I'm here to make some friends!
[03:19] Claire
    If you don't mind, would you
    like to be friends with us?
[03:22] Blade
    I did it!
[03:23] Blade
    I've got four whole friends now!
[03:25] Blade
    If this keeps up, I could make ten friends...
[03:26] Blade
    No, hold that thought!
[03:28] Blade
    Even 100 friends doesn't sound so far-fetched!
[03:32] Claire
    If you want to make 100 friends,
    you'll have to befriend the whole student body.
[03:36] Earnest
    What are all of you up to?
[03:38] Earnest
    Why are you making a commotion
    in the middle of the hallway?
[03:42] Yessica
    Oh, no!
[03:42] Earnest
    You are all students at the
    prestigious Rosewood Academy.
[03:45] Kassim
    That's Earnest Flaming.
[03:46] Earnest
    You should strive to always follow the
    rules and behave in an orderly manner.
[03:47] Kassim
    She's the top student in this school,
    so everyone calls her the Empress.
[03:51] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[03:55] Earnest
    Who are you?
[03:56] Earnest
    I haven't seen you around here.
[03:58] Claire
    U-Um, Lady Earnest...
[04:00] Earnest
    No need for the title!
[04:02] Claire
    Well, it seems Blade just
    transferred into the school...
[04:05] Earnest
    A new student?
[04:07] Earnest
    This academy only admits those who aspire
    to be heroes who protect this world!
[04:13] Earnest
    There's no way they'd permit
    such a late admission!
[04:14] Blade
    I don't really care about being a hero.
[04:16] Blade
    I'm just here to make some friends.
[04:18] Earnest
    You don't really care?!
[04:19] Earnest
    What halfhearted resolve you have!
[04:25] Blade
    Oh, almost forgot!
[04:26] Blade
    I need to go to the headmaster's office!
[04:28] Earnest
    What?!
[04:29] Blade
    Can you show me the way to
    the headmaster's office?
[04:32] Group
    Go!
[04:35] Earnest
    Why'd it have to be me?
[04:39] Earnest
    This is Earnest Flaming.
[04:41] Earnest
    I'm here with a brat who lost his
    way and was on the verge of tears.
[04:45] King
    You may enter.
[04:47] Earnest
    Pardon me.
[04:56] Earnest
    Wh-What brings you here, Sir?!
[04:59] Blade
    I'm here!
[05:01] Earnest
    Y-You idiot!
[05:03] Earnest
    Don't you have any idea
    who you stand before?!
[05:06] Blade
    Sure I do.
[05:07] Earnest
    Please forgive his rudeness,
    Your Majesty the King!
[05:12] King
    I've heard all about you from the
    previous headmaster, Miss Earnest.
[05:16] King
    It seems you have quite the excellent record.
[05:18] Earnest
    O-Oh, no. I have a long way to go...
[05:20] Earnest
    Excuse me, "previous headmaster"?
[05:23] King
    Indeed.
[05:24] King
    As of today, I will be acting
    as the new headmaster here.
[05:28] Earnest
    Your Majesty is?!
[05:29] Earnest
    Why, I hear Your Majesty is
    quite the accomplished warrior!
[05:32] Earnest
    To be instructed by Your Majesty himself!
[05:35] Earnest
    I find myself lacking words to
    express my joy at the sheer honor!
[05:38] Earnest
    I could never have imagined I would get
    a chance to speak with Your Majesty!
[05:41] Earnest
    How can I put this?
[05:43] Earnest
    Oh, I really am so truly struck with awe!
[05:43] King
    That's enough.
[05:45] Earnest
    Huh?
[05:46] King
    You may take your leave.
[05:48] King
    I must speak with him in private.
[05:57] Earnest
    What's the deal with that boy?!
[05:59] Earnest
    He's so friendly with His Majesty!
[06:01] Earnest
    I don't get it!
[06:01] Blade
    Hey! Thanks to you,
    I've gotten on her bad side!
[06:04] King
    What could be the reason?
[06:05] Blade
    Don't give me that!
[06:06] Blade
    And what are you doing here, anyway?!
[06:09] King
    You see, Blade...
[06:11] King
    I want you to regain your powers as a hero.
[06:15] Blade
    I want to be an ordinary person!
[06:17] Blade
    Normal as can be!
[06:18] King
    The students here are really something.
[06:21] King
    They should serve well
    in your rehabilitation.
[06:24] Blade
    You're not listening, old man.
[06:25] King
    I plan on making sweeping changes
    to the curriculum, as well.
[06:29] King
    My predecessor had a bit of a lenient streak.
[06:32] King
    We're trying to nurture heroes here.
[06:35] King
    Great heroes like you—
[06:37] Blade
    There's no need for that!
[06:39] Blade
    The Demon King's gone now.
[06:41] King
    I received reports of the Great Hero
    and the Demon King trading blows,
[06:45] King
    resulting in mutual annihilation
    of their powers.
[06:47] Blade
    That's right.
[06:48] King
    But I have faith!
[06:51] King
    The Great Hero's powers will be resurrected!
[06:54] King
    And that's because you are the Great Hero!
[06:59] Blade
    This old man's gone off the deep end.
[07:13] Blade
    Hey!
[07:13] Earnest
    Why are you here?
[07:15] Earnest
    This is the advanced class!
[07:17] Blade
    I took the exam for the lower classes,
    but I was told to come here.
[07:22] Earnest
    Did you bribe someone?!
[07:24] Blade
    What?
[07:25] Earnest
    Did you gain back-door
    admission into this school?!
[07:27] Earnest
    You must have cheated somehow to be
     placed straight into the advanced class!
[07:31] Earnest
    Besides, this isn't the kind of academy
    that admits halfhearted people like you!
[07:37] Blade
    Don't call me halfhearted!
[07:38] Blade
    I'm dead serious.
[07:40] Blade
    About making 100 friends here.
[07:42] Earnest
    What?
[07:43] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[07:44] Blade
    Let's be friends!
[07:45] Scientist
    What?
[07:46] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[07:47] Priestess
    Wh-What do you want?
[07:48] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[07:50] Blade
    Let's be friends!
[07:51] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[07:52] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[07:53] Blade
    Let's be friends!
[07:53] Earnest
    Listen to me!
[07:56] Blade
    I'm listening.
[07:59] Earnest
    D-Don't pat my head!
[08:05] Blade
    Whoa.
[08:07] Sophie
    The instructor has asked
     everyone to assemble.
[08:10] Earnest
    I'll be right there.
[08:11] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[08:14] Earnest
    He's asking for your name.
[08:15] Sophie
    Is that a command?
[08:17] Earnest
    She's always like this.
[08:18] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[08:20] Earnest
    You need to listen when people are talking.
[08:22] Sophie
    Sophie.
[08:24] Blade
    I see!
[08:26] Blade
    I'm Blade!
[08:27] Blade
    Nice to meet you!
[08:29] Earnest
    Instructor!
[08:31] Instructor
    Wh-What is it?
[08:32] Earnest
    I'd like to test the
    transfer student's ability.
[08:36] Instructor
    Well, that wasn't in today's lesson plan...
[08:40] Earnest
    You don't mind, right?
[08:42] Instructor
    Go ahead...
[08:49] Blade
    That's made of enchanted metal, right?
[08:51] Earnest
    And what if it is?
[08:53] Earnest
    Just so you know,
[08:54] Earnest
    simply slicing through it is something
    all the advanced students can do.
[08:59] Earnest
    Your job is to prove yourself
    to everyone here.
[09:01] Earnest
    If you can't, I'll have you admit to your
    illicit entry and leave the academy.
[09:05] Earnest
    The advanced class is on
    a whole different level.
[09:08] Blade
    How many levels are we talking?
[09:09] Earnest
    Huh? W-Well... two...
[09:12] Earnest
    No, three!
[09:13] Earnest
    It's three whole levels different!
[09:16] Blade
    I see. Three levels, huh?
[09:18] Blade
    Then, Second Sword should do.
[09:24] Leonard
    Wait, the shape of his fighting spirit...
[09:27] Leonard
    Dragon Series?!
[09:28] Earnest
    Dragon Series? Wait!
[09:38] Blade
    Dragon Eater!
[09:56] Sophie
    Cough.
[09:58] Blade
    Hmm... Meh.
[10:06] Earnest
    Blade.
[10:08] Earnest
    Who in the world... are you?
[10:20] Blade
    I-I'm ordinary!
[10:23] Blade
    Just your exceedingly average,
    ordinary person!
[10:27] Earnest
    Ordinary... Ordinary?!
[10:38] Boy Student
    No, the best thing they
    serve is their hamburger!
[10:43] Blade
    Hey!
[10:46] Earnest
    Seriously, what's your deal?
[10:48] Blade
    Like I said, I'm just ordinary.
[10:50] Girl Student 1
    And that's why she messed up!
[10:52] Girl Student 2
    What, for real?
[10:53] Blade
    Hey! There are seats here!
[10:58] Blade
    Hey! Over here!
[11:04] Blade
    What's gotten into them?
[11:05] Earnest
    This table is basically reserved for me.
[11:09] Blade
    Wait... are you being bullied?
[11:12] Blade
    You can talk to me about it.
[11:14] Earnest
    You're a real moron.
[11:16] Earnest
    Everyone's scared of me.
[11:20] Blade
    Scared of you? Why?
[11:27] Blade
    Whoa, what is this?!
[11:30] Blade
    I'm not sure what it is, but it's great!
[11:33] Earnest
    Huh? It's just curry.
[11:35] Earnest
    Tonkatsu curry.
[11:36] Blade
    So it's called tonkatsu curry?!
[11:38] Blade
    Tonkatsu curry is super amazing!
[11:40] Blade
    The guy who invented it was a real genius!
[11:42] Earnest
    I take back what I said about you.
[11:45] Blade
    What was that again?
[11:46] Earnest
    I mean when I accused you
    of illicit entry here!
[11:49] Blade
    Did you say that?
[11:50] Earnest
    I sure did!
[11:51] Earnest
    It's been bothering me,
    and you don't even remember?!
[11:56] Blade
    Since I don't remember,
    you shouldn't let it bother you.
[11:59] Earnest
    I admit you've got a bit of talent.
[12:03] Earnest
    So, well...
[12:06] Earnest
    I'm sorry.
[12:08] Blade
    Did you say something?
[12:10] Earnest
    I swear! You're so...
[12:13] Blade
    You have my thanks.
[12:15] Blade
    You've done so much to help me.
[12:17] Earnest
    Wh-What's this all of a sudden?!
[12:19] Blade
    I'm a new transfer, right?
[12:21] Blade
    I thought I wouldn't be
    able to make any friends.
[12:23] Earnest
    Huh? Friends? Who?
[12:28] Earnest
    Wait, m-me?!
[12:30] Blade
    Yeah.
[12:31] Blade
    Look, we're eating lunch together.
[12:34] Blade
    That makes us pals!
[12:36] Earnest
    W-Well, I don't mind being your friend...
[12:41] Yessica
    That was easy.
[12:42] Kassim
    The Empress is so quick to fall.
[13:00] Earnest
    Seriously, what's with him?
[13:02] Earnest
    Eating together makes you friends?
[13:05] Earnest
    How absurd.
[13:07] Earnest
    Friends, he said...
[13:14] Earnest
    Yay!
[13:15] Earnest
    My very first friend!
[13:35] Asmodeus
    Surrender yourself to me.
[13:49] Asmodeus
    Destroy! Slash! Burn!
[13:52] Earnest
    Shut up!
[13:54] Earnest
    I'm the next head of the Flaming family!
[13:57] Earnest
    I won't give in to the likes of you!
[14:13] Earnest
    Leonard, take this fight seriously!
[14:15] Leonard
    Dear me.
[14:16] Leonard
    We may be simulating a real fight,
[14:18] Leonard
    but I'd rather not wield
    my lance against a lady!
[14:25] Blade
    Wow! So awesome!
[14:27] Leonard
    Come! It's time for this show to begin!
[14:41] Leonard
    How merciless.
[14:43] Leonard
    It seems I've lost.
[14:45] Leonard
    Earnest?
[14:57] Magical Girl
    The Empress has been kind of scary lately.
[15:01] Earnest
    Next!
[15:10] Sophie
    If you continue this...
[15:34] Sophie
    I admit defeat.
[15:38] Earnest
    You're up next, Blade!
[15:41] Blade
    Huh, me?
[15:42] Earnest
    That Dragon Series of yours
    is no big deal if I dodge it!
[15:46] Blade
    I mean, I don't mind.
[15:49] Blade
    But will you be all right in that condition?
[15:52] Earnest
    Shut up!
[15:53] Earnest
    I'll be fine.
[15:56] Earnest
    Let's go!
[16:01] Earnest
    Oh, no!
[16:04] Blade
    Hey, Earnest!
[16:14] Doctor
    There's nothing I can do.
[16:15] Blade
    Don't say that!
[16:17] Blade
    Make her better, like you did for me!
[16:19] Doctor
    I can heal diseases and injuries,
    even from the brink of death.
[16:22] Doctor
    But spells and curses are
    outside of my expertise.
[16:27] Earnest
    Where am I?
[16:30] Blade
    You passed out.
[16:32] Blade
    Don't you remember?
[16:33] Earnest
    I...
[16:36] Earnest
    Don't tell me...
[16:39] Blade
    Just calm down!
[16:40] Earnest
    Did I... um... do something?
[16:43] Earnest
    Something really awful?
[16:46] Blade
    Really awful?
[16:47] Blade
    No, you just suddenly fell unconscious.
[16:49] Blade
    Oh, it was really awful carrying you here.
[16:52] Earnest
    Y-You dummy!
[16:53] Earnest
    I'm not that heavy!
[16:56] Doctor
    You should rest a little longer.
[16:58] Doctor
    That affliction of yours...
[16:59] Earnest
    Stop it!
[17:00] Earnest
    I feel better now.
[17:02] Doctor
    No. Get back in bed.
[17:03] Earnest
    Out of my way.
[17:04] Doctor
    I'm not budging.
[17:06] Blade
    It seems like Earnest feels okay,
    so why not let her go?
[17:10] Blade
    I'll keep an eye on her instead.
[17:12] Doctor
    Fine.
[17:13] Doctor
    That's a promise.
[17:17] Student
    Seriously?
[17:22] Earnest
    I can walk on my own.
[17:24] Blade
    You can lean on me, you know.
[17:27] Blade
    We're friends, after all.
[17:29] Earnest
    Don't tell anyone what you
    heard in the infirmary.
[17:48] Blade
    Looks like I owe that old man now.
[17:51] Blade
    Not that I mind.
[18:09] Blade
    There we go.
[18:11] Blade
    Rosewood Academy's data...
[18:14] Blade
    So that demon sword's name is Asmodeus?
[18:17] Blade
    Dunno why, but it gives me the creeps.
[18:23] Blade
    Quiet down.
[18:28] Blade
    I see now.
[18:30] Earnest
    Why do you want to talk in private?
[18:33] Earnest
    Are you trying to threaten me?
[18:35] Blade
    Huh?
[18:36] Blade
    Why would I threaten you?
[18:38] Earnest
    Maybe you want my spot as top student.
[18:40] Blade
    I couldn't care less about that.
[18:42] Blade
    What's more important is you.
[18:44] Blade
    I'm interested in you.
[18:46] Earnest
    What?!
[18:46] Earnest
    Wait, that's, well...
[18:48] Earnest
    I said we could be friends,
    but anything more is...
[18:52] Blade
    I know the secret behind your sword.
[18:58] Blade
    That sword has its own will,
[19:01] Blade
    and grants its owner tremendous power.
[19:03] Blade
    But you don't have full ownership of it.
[19:09] Blade
    How did that happen?
[19:11] Earnest
    When I was six years old,
[19:13] Earnest
    I unknowingly laid my hands on a cursed
    demon sword in the Flaming family's custody.
[19:19] Earnest
    It tried to take over my body
[19:22] Earnest
    and the demon sword's will flowed through me,
    hungering for blood and carnage.
[19:25] Earnest
    Ever since, I've been
    holding back those urges.
[19:29] Earnest
    As soon as I let my guard down,
    I can hear it still, to this day.
[19:33] Earnest
    The voice of Asmodeus,
    begging me to let it slash and burn.
[19:38] Blade
    But it hasn't taken over.
[19:40] Earnest
    No.
[19:41] Earnest
    Thanks to my stubbornness.
[19:43] Blade
    There is a way.
[19:44] Earnest
    I know that much.
[19:46] Earnest
    I need the demon sword to
    acknowledge me as its owner, right?
[19:51] Earnest
    But I can't do that.
[19:52] Earnest
    What if I fail?
[19:54] Earnest
    Then a bloodthirsty demon would come to life!
[19:56] Blade
    It'll be okay.
[19:57] Earnest
    What?!
[19:58] Earnest
    How can you say something so irresponsible?!
[20:00] Earnest
    If the demon comes to life...
[20:01] Blade
    Like I said, it'll be okay.
[20:04] Earnest
    What?
[20:05] Blade
    If that happens, I'll cut it down.
[20:07] Earnest
    That's...
[20:12] Blade
    Don't think I can do it?
[20:15] Earnest
    I think you can.
[20:17] Blade
    So what's the problem?
[20:19] Earnest
    Nothing at all.
[20:27] Earnest
    Demon Sword Asmodeus!
[20:29] Earnest
    I am Earnest Flaming.
[20:31] Earnest
    I beseech thee to form a pact with me!
[20:37] Earnest
    Obey thy oath from days bygone,
[20:39] Earnest
    and receive my being within thy own!
[20:41] Earnest
    Try my strength.
[20:43] Earnest
    See if thou can consume me!
[20:47] Asmodeus
    So be it.
[20:49] Blade
    I have faith in you, Earnest.
[20:51] Earnest
    I have faith as well,
[20:53] Earnest
    that you'll bring this all to an end,
    no matter what happens.
[21:05] Earnest
    So you must be Asmodeus.
[21:07] Earnest
    I'll keep it brief.
[21:09] Earnest
    Submit yourself to me.
[21:11] Asmodeus
    I am fire!
[21:13] Asmodeus
    I am power!
[21:15] Asmodeus
    I am pure violence that
    reigns over all destruction!
[21:21] Earnest
    Looks like it means a fight, then.
[21:24] Earnest
    Bring it on!
[21:38] Earnest
    Destroy, destroy, destroy!
[21:40] Earnest
    Kill, kill, kill!
[21:42] Earnest
    Burn, burn, burn!
[21:46] Earnest
    Oh, what fun!
[21:48] Earnest
    I don't want to hold back!
[21:50] Earnest
    Not when there's so much
    to destroy around me!
[21:53] Earnest
    My house, my family, my friends!
[22:02] Earnest
    That's right.
[22:03] Earnest
    I can fight now, thanks to him.
[22:05] Earnest
    Even if I fail, I know he'll take it down.
[22:09] Earnest
    Which is why I'll fight,
[22:11] Earnest
    of my own will.
[22:12] Earnest
    For the sake of my own pride!
[22:16] Earnest
    My name...
[22:19] Earnest
    My name is Earnest!
[22:21] Earnest
    Earnest Flaming!
[22:52] Earnest
    I made it back.
[22:56] Blade
    Welcome back.
[23:07] Claire
    What, really?
[23:08] Yessica
    Yeah! And then Kassim was like...
[23:10] Earnest
    Good morning.
[23:23] Earnest
    Does it look weird on me?
[23:26] Claire
    You look quite splendid!
[23:28] Yessica
    Uh-huh!
