[00:05] Sophie
    A valuable exercise where each student uses
    the fruits of their training to compete.
[00:10] Maria
    Or at least it was supposed to be...
[00:13] Cu
    Parent's gone and won all by himself!
[00:17] Leonard
    Have no fear! I'm still here!
[00:19] Leonard
    With my drill lance's Absolute Defense!
[00:23] Blade
    Ah, that move is a real pain in the neck.
[00:27] Clay
    Do your best, Leonard!
[00:28] Kassim
    You're the last one standing!
[00:30] Kassim
    Avenge us!
[00:32] Yessica
    Would it hurt to lose every
    once in a while, Blade?
[00:34] Group
    Take the loss! Take the loss!
[00:35] Blade
    Why am I the bad guy here?
[00:37] Iona
    That is because almost everyone
    here was defeated by you, Master.
[00:41] Blade
    Ah, well, I guess that makes sense.
[00:43] Maria
    Leonard!
[00:45] Maria
    Please give it all you've got!
[00:47] Leonard
    Even if we may both fall here...
[00:49] Leonard
    I swear to bring victory upon your name,
     my lord, Earnest Flaming!
[00:54] Claire
    Leonard! You can do it!
[00:57] Claire
    C'mon! Anna, cheer him on!
[00:59] Earnest
    Huh? Leonard hasn't been knocked out yet?
[01:02] Earnest
    Why's he of all people still standing?
[01:05] Yessica
    Blade's the kind who leaves
    his carrots for last.
[01:09] Earnest
    Oh, he puts off the things he hates?
[01:13] Maria
    Leonard! Get back on your feet!
[01:15] Earnest
    Cut it out with that skeleton!
[01:18] Leonard
    Here I go!
[01:23] Clay
    Knew it.
[01:25] Kassim
    We're talking about Leonard here.
[01:29] Leonard
    Say what you will, but I still have my lord!
[01:33] Earnest
    I can finally eat now!
[01:39] Blade
    Hey, let's go grab some food.
[01:41] Leonard
    Thank you.
[01:43] Leonard
    I really don't stand a chance against you.

    A brand-new me and dream

    But, you know, wanting to have both
[02:26] [SONG] Sign
    That's the saga of human nature
[02:29] [SONG] Sign
    Oh no, don't mind me
[02:31] [SONG] Sign
    Go ahead, and so on, you know the rest
[02:34] [SONG] Sign
    A little more? Wait, even harder?!
[02:37] [SONG] Sign
    Going overboard much?
[02:40] [SONG] Sign
    Those selfish emotions deep down
[02:42] [SONG] Sign
    Bringing them to light is
    what friendship's about

    Hm... You of all people...
[03:43] Maria
    Mao.
[03:44] Mao
    Oh, I was just a bit surprised.
SIGN    Leonard's Room
[03:55] Leonard
    Well... I had already realized it.
[03:58] Leonard
    Blade really is so strong.
[04:01] Leonard
    There will always be someone better.
[04:03] Leonard
    I know that's only obvious.
[04:07] Leonard
    If I can defeat Blade,
     I'm sure that the Empress...
[04:16] Leonard
    Can I defeat him?
[04:18] Leonard
    That's right! I should begin
    by repairing my weapon!
SIGN    Rosewood Academy
SIGN    Courtyard
[04:30] Maria
    Are you okay with this?
[04:32] Maria
    Is something the matter, Maria?
[04:33] Maria
    You want to defeat Blade, but you can't.
[04:37] Maria
    You lost to him, but you're
    calmly laughing it off.
[04:40] Maria
    Are you okay just staying like this?
[04:43] Leonard
    You wouldn't understand.
[04:44] Maria
    I can't say I do.
[04:46] Maria
    I don't want to be behind Blade.
[04:49] Maria
    What I want is to stand by his side.
[04:53] Maria
    It's frustrating to lose to him,
[04:55] Maria
    though I've never actually faced him.
[04:58] Maria
    But I swear that one day, I'll stand at his side
     because of my own ability.
[05:03] Leonard
    Could it be that you...
[05:05] Maria
    Ah, no! I-I didn't mean it in that way!
[05:08] Maria
    It's like Mao always says!
[05:11] Maria
    I shall be the one to kill you!
[05:13] Maria
    It's like that!
[05:14] Maria
    A declaration of rivalry!
[05:20] Leonard
    Do you want to kill Blade?
[05:22] Maria
    Huh?!
[05:22] Maria
    N-No, I don't want to do that at all!
[05:25] Maria
    I'm sure Mao doesn't really
    want to kill him, either!
[05:28] Maria
    Huh? That part is true?
[05:29] Maria
    Seriously?!
[05:31] Leonard
    I've come to my senses.
[05:33] Leonard
    You said all that to try and
     light a fire under me.
[05:37] Maria
    When I saw you trying to put
    yourself down compared to Blade...
[05:42] Maria
    I couldn't bear to see you cast aside
     your desire to rival him, and defeat him.
[05:48] Maria
    I'm sorry!
[05:49] Maria
    I was being selfish.
[05:52] Leonard
    Please, raise your head.
[05:53] Leonard
    I should be the one thanking you.
[05:56] Leonard
    I must defeat him at any cost.
[06:03] Leonard
    Or else my lord will not
    see fit to look my way.
[06:08] Maria
    I'm rooting for you!
[06:11] Leonard
    I'll be rooting for you, as well.
[06:12] Maria
    Yes!
[06:12] Eliza
    Hold it right there for just one moment!
[06:15] Eliza
    Rooting this, rooting that.
[06:17] Eliza
    Give me a break.
[06:18] Eliza
    So it amounts to nothing more than idealism?
[06:20] Eliza
    How laughable.
[06:21] Eliza
    Utterly preposterous.
[06:24] Eliza
    Pretend to be friends all you want!
[06:26] Eliza
    Live up your youth all you want!
[06:27] Eliza
    Heck, be as idealistic as you want!
[06:29] Eliza
    However!
[06:30] Eliza
    Do you think you can beat that
    superorganism like that?!
[06:35] Leonard
    Huh? W-Well, um...
[06:37] Mao
    Hm?
[06:38] Eliza
    I don't mean to criticize you.
[06:40] Eliza
    But if you seriously want
    to take that thing down,
[06:43] Eliza
    I can lend a hand.
[06:47] Eliza
    Yes, with a realistic plan
     instead of idealism!
[06:50] Eliza
    Using this gray matter of mine!
[06:54] Leonard
    Thanks, um...
[06:57] Mao
    Who are you?
[06:59] Eliza
    Eliza!
[07:03] Leonard
    Heaven and earth alike shall not
    tolerate this transcended being!

    to challenge the transcended
    one who defies logic—
[07:36] Earnest
    What the heck does that mean?
[07:40] Maria
    Leonard!
[07:41] Maria
    Guts! You've got to show some guts!

[08:03] Claire
    Poison him?
[08:04] Earnest
    What? That's cowardly.
[08:06] Eliza
    No, there's nothing cowardly about it.
[08:08] Eliza
    In fact, wouldn't you say that being a
    superorganism is about as cowardly as it gets?

    Mm-hmm.

    Mm-hmm!
SIGN    Illustrative Footage from Superorganism Simulator
[08:16] Eliza
    We feeble humans are trying
    to take on a superorganism!
[08:20] Eliza
    It's only natural that we use whatever
    methods are available to us!
[08:23] Earnest
    I want to fight him fair and square.
[08:26] Earnest
    I mean, Blade only ever uses a sword.
[08:30] Earnest
    Why don't we challenge him with weapons
    he'd be weak against, like lances or bows?
[08:34] Claire
    How's that different from attacking
    him in his sleep or poisoning him?
[08:39] Leonard
    Um, look...
[08:41] Leonard
    What my lord is saying is that, well...
[08:43] Leonard
    We should each face him with
    whatever methods we see fit.
[08:48] Leonard
    That's what she means, yep.
[08:49] Earnest
    Y-Yeah, that's right!
[08:51] Earnest
    That's what I meant to say!

    Argh!
[12:23] Leonard
    That's right.
[12:24] Leonard
    However, my lord...
[12:26] Leonard
    In the search to be recognized,
    rather than victory,
[12:31] Leonard
    could it be that the very process
    is what truly gives it meaning?
[12:34] Maria
    Leonard...
[12:35] Yessica
    Wow, I never thought you'd talk back to Anna!
[12:38] Earnest
    None of that matters if you don't win!

    We need to beat him at least once!
[12:41] Earnest
    I don't care what it is, as long as we win!
[12:43] Earnest
    I just want to make him say uncle!
[12:45] Earnest
    Argh!
[12:46] Leonard
    "Say uncle"?
[12:48] Iona
    Say uncle.
[12:49] Iona
    In ancient language,
     it means "to admit defeat."
[12:52] Iona
    In that case, it is possible.
[12:54] (Flashback) Blade
    I give, I give!
[12:56] (Flashback) Blade
    I admit defeat.
[12:57] Maria
    You're right! He said he gave up!
[12:59] Earnest
    You're right!
[13:00] Leonard
    You're right!
[13:03] Eliza
    The core of that strategy was that
    we used Iona's life as a hostage.
[13:08] Iona
    Yes.
[13:09] Iona
    This means that if we take
    hostages this time as well,
[13:11] Iona
    it should be possible to defeat Master.
[13:16] Maria
    Leonard? What's wrong?
[13:19] Leonard
    Well... taking hostages...
[13:21] Earnest
    We can defeat Blade!
[13:22] Earnest
    I'll drink swamp water
    if that's what it takes!
[13:24] Earnest
    Got it?!
[13:26] Leonard
    What unbridled passion!
[13:28] Leonard
    I understand, my lord.
[13:30] Leonard
    If that is your wish, I will spare no effort.

[13:45] Doctor
    As you can see,
[13:46] Doctor
    the medical approach here is fundamentally
    different from that of healing magic.
[13:51] Doctor
    Knowing how to heal the
    human body can come in handy.
[13:54] Doctor
    If you know how to heal it,
     you also know how to injure it.

    I know that!

    Hey, Leonard and the others aren't here.
[14:04] Earnest
    What?

    Th-That's not true!

    Oh, you know!

    Those three had to go run an errand, I think!

    What kind of errand?

    You don't need to worry about that, Blade.

    Nope.

    We're terrorists!

    Terrorists!
[14:29] Leonard
    Terrorists!
[14:31] Blade
    Terrorists?
[14:32] Sophie
    It refers to people who use violence
    to achieve their political goals.
[14:37] Blade
    Political?
[14:38] Cu
    Political!
[14:40] Blade
    I don't get it.

    Who are you people?!

    Sorry, there's a reason for all this,
    so please play along!

    Can't you tell?!

    Me, too! Me, too!
[15:26] Kassim
    H-Hey.
[15:28] Clay
    Why did you come over here?!
[15:29] Maria
    No fair, I want in, too!
[15:31] Iona
    As a high-spec machine, I am
    best suited to be held hostage.
[15:34] Iona
    My performance—
[15:35] Eliza
    If we're talking high-spec,
    it should be a genius like me!
[15:39] Sophie
    I'm fine as long as Blade is happy.
[15:41] Earnest
    Hey! You can't all come over here!
[15:43] Maria
    You're the one who came over first!
[15:45] Earnest
    Boo! Boo!
[15:46] Claire
    I want Blade to save me, too!
[15:49] Iona
    As a beloved, high-spec character, I am...
[15:51] Eliza
    I was the one who proposed the idea!
[15:53] Sophie
    I'm fine as long as Blade is happy.
[15:55] Doctor
    Must be nice to be young.
[15:57] Earnest
    Sophie!
[15:57] Earnest
    If you're fine with it,
    then you get out of here!
[15:59] Sophie
    I'm fine. I'm fine.
[16:00] Maria
    It's not fair!
[16:02] Yessica
    What the heck are we doing?
[16:03] Eliza
    We might have a chance with this!
[16:04] Claire
    Don't think about it too hard.
[16:05] Iona
    Master, please give me a command.
[16:07] Doctor
    You can all live up your youth without me.
[16:09] Clay
    Ah, sure.
[16:11] Earnest
    Oh, I've been taken hostage!
[16:14] Earnest
    H-Help me!
[16:15] Blade
    Hey, Cu.
[16:16] Cu
    What is it, Parent?
[16:18] Blade
    What do you think the word "hostage" means?
[16:20] Cu
    Non-perishable food?
[16:22] Blade
    Non-perishable food, huh?
[16:24] Earnest
    Eek, help me!
[16:24] Blade
    Those terrorists came here to accomplish
    their political goals with violence, right?
[16:27] Earnest
    Blade! Blade! Help me!
[16:31] Cu
    Political!
[16:31] Earnest
    Hurry!
[16:33] Earnest
    I'm so scared!
[16:33] Blade
    And they took the girls hostage,
    to keep them as non-perishable food.
[16:34] Earnest
    Huh? Blade?
[16:36] Earnest
    Huh? What are you doing?
[16:37] Earnest
    Blade, hurry!
[16:37] Cu
    Exactly!
[16:39] Cu
    You're so smart, Parent!
[16:41] Blade
    I see.
[16:42] Blade
    I don't get it at all.
[16:44] Cu
    Don't get it at all!
[16:45] Earnest
    You nincompoop!
[16:47] Earnest
    Blockhead!
[16:48] Earnest
    Big fat dumb idiot!

[16:50] Earnest
    Your precious Earnest is in trouble!
[16:52] Earnest
    Take things a little more seriously!
[16:54] Claire
    We're in trouble, too!
[16:56] Maria
    Just look at us!
[16:57] Iona
    My hands and feet and tentacles are tied.
[16:58] Sophie
    Blade, are you happy?
[16:59] Eliza
    I came up with this idea!
[17:01] Yessica
    This is so funny!
[17:02] Claire
    Let's be serious here!

    Eek! Help us!
[17:08] Blade
    Terrorists. Political. Violence.
[17:13] Blade
    Hostages. Non-perishable food.
[17:16] Blade
    I still don't get it.
[17:17] Cu
    Don't get it!
[17:18] Earnest
    Stop it with the non-perishable food!
[17:20] Claire
    Are you okay with us being eaten?!
[17:22] Iona
    I am a good source of iron.
[17:24] Group
    Eek! Help us!
[17:26] Clay
    H-Hurry up and surrender!
[17:28] Blade
    Hey, can I ask you something?
[17:30] Clay
    Wh-What?
[17:31] Blade
    What have you been doing this whole time?
[17:33] Blade
    Clay. Kassim. Leonard.
[17:35] Group
    Wham bam boom!
[17:37] Kassim
    You knew it was us?!
[17:38] Clay
    Since when?
[17:39] Blade
    Hm, from the start?
[17:41] Leonard
    H-How?!
[17:43] Blade
    I mean, you can tell from the way
    you walk and stuff, can't you?
[17:46] Group
    Ah...
[17:47] Kassim
    Damn it! Take a hint,
    you lousy superorganism!
[17:50] Clay
    Damn it! This was so embarrassing!
[17:52] Leonard
    So this is where it ends, huh?!
[17:54] Blade
    See, told you.
[17:56] Group
    Damn it!
[17:57] Blade
    So? What were you planning to
    do by taking the girls hostage?
[18:01] Clay
    We're still going?
[18:03] Kassim
    Use them as non-perishable food, of course!
[18:06] Earnest
    Really?!
[18:07] Blade
    Won't you reconsider it?
[18:08] Blade
    You shouldn't be eating your friends.
[18:10] Claire
    Wait, is Operation Hostage working?
[18:14] Kassim
    In that case...
[18:16] Kassim
    These boobs...
[18:17] Kassim
    and these boobs...
[18:18] Kassim
    belong to me!
[18:20] Earnest
    You should know when to stop!
[18:27] Clay
    W-Well, Blade?
[18:29] Clay
    Give up? Do you give up?!
[18:31] Blade
    Why?
[18:33] Clay
    Not giving up, huh?
[18:36] Leonard
    We know that you're weak against hostages.
[18:40] Leonard
    When you fought Iona,
     you couldn't lay a finger on her.
[18:42] Leonard
    Come now, admit your defeat!
[18:43] Cu
    Admit your defeat!
[18:45] Blade
    That was true back then,
    but it won't work this time.
[18:50] Leonard
    Putting up a bold front.
[18:51] Leonard
    What can you possibly do here?
[18:53] Leonard
    My lord!
[18:55] Leonard
    If I may.
[18:56] Earnest
    Please do.
[18:59] Earnest
    Ah! Help me!
[19:01] Earnest
    He's going to kill me!
[19:04] Leonard
    If I can't have you to myself,
    then I'll be the one to...
[19:08] Claire
    Leonard...
[19:09] Claire
    His eyes are dead serious.
[19:12] Clay
    Give up? Give up yet?!
[19:14] Cu
    Give up yet?
[19:15] Kassim
    Blade, what will you do?!
[19:17] Cu
    What will you do?
[19:18] Group
    What will you do?!
[19:23] Blade
    I'll do this.
[19:29] Earnest
    Huh?
[19:30] Kassim
    Eh?
[19:33] Blade
    There, disarmed.
[19:34] Leonard
    Wh-What did you do?!
[19:37] Blade
    I sliced up just your weapons
    and armor with my slashes.

    Oh? Hm? Oh?!
[20:07] Blade
    So what was all this, anyway?
[20:10] Maria
    Pretending to be terrorists.
[20:13] Blade
    I get it now!
[20:14] Blade
    So this was all make-believe!
[20:16] Blade
    This is my first time playing
    a make-believe game!
[20:20] Blade
    Oh, did I do it right?
[20:22] Blade
    I don't know all the rules!

    You did just fine.
[20:25] Yessica
    Man, that's hilarious.

[20:28] Kassim
    I broke some bones.
