**[00:22] ---**
Let's sleep here tonight.
**[00:25] ---**
I wanna get Yuri and Precht
to a doctor fast, but...
**[00:29] ---**
I'm fine.
**[00:30] ---**
It seems like a long way to the next town.
**[00:33] ---**
I'll draw some water.
**[00:37] ---**
Mavis...
**[02:31] ---**
I was careless.
**[02:34] ---**
Our enemies are wizards.
**[02:37] ---**
One guild...
**[02:39] ---**
I should have realized they
were powerful opponents.
**[02:43] ---**
But instead...
**[02:46] ---**
...because of my error in judgment...
**[02:49] ---**
If I had more power...
***SIGN*** The One Who Teaches Magic
**[03:19] ---**
I... I'm sorry!
**[03:21] ---**
I didn't know anyone else was here!
**[03:24] ---**
Leave this forest.
**[03:31] ---**
Sorry.
**[03:33] ---**
Force of habit.
**[03:40] ---**
I'm the one who will leave.
**[03:43] ---**
Um...
**[04:00] ---**
What is this?
**[04:03] ---**
Everything that gets close to me...
**[04:06] ---**
...dies.
**[04:13] ---**
You're...
**[04:15] ---**
You mustn't come near me.
**[04:18] ---**
Ankhseram Black Magic...
**[04:24] ---**
I've only read about it in books,
**[04:27] ---**
but it's a type of ancient curse, isn't it?
**[04:30] ---**
It's also called the
"Curse of Contradictions."
**[04:34] ---**
The more one respects the
lives of living things,
**[04:38] ---**
the more death energy is released.
**[04:41] ---**
On the other hand,
**[04:42] ---**
if one doesn't have respect for
the lives of living things,
**[04:45] ---**
death energy won't be released.
**[04:51] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[04:53] ---**
It just... came out...
**[04:55] ---**
That's all right.
**[04:57] ---**
You're quite knowledgeable.
**[05:00] ---**
It's the first time someone has
correctly identified my curse.
**[05:03] ---**
That being said, I avoid meeting
people to the best of my ability.
**[05:09] ---**
Have you been here long?
**[05:11] ---**
No. I wander around from place to place.
**[05:15] ---**
Because of this curse, I can't
have physical contact with anyone.
**[05:18] ---**
Not even animals.
**[05:20] ---**
Any living creature dies at my touch.
**[05:27] ---**
You don't need to be sad for me.
**[05:29] ---**
You're a kind girl.
**[05:32] ---**
Aren't you lonely?
**[05:35] ---**
I don't know.
**[05:36] ---**
It's been a long time, but I believe
**[05:39] ---**
I'm enjoying this, talking to you.
**[05:45] ---**
But at the same time...
**[05:47] ---**
...I'm battling with fear, the fear that
my power will kill a little girl like you.
**[05:54] ---**
Even though I don't want to kill anyone...
**[06:01] ---**
I have to go.
**[06:02] ---**
I apologize for scaring you.
**[06:11] ---**
Don't.
**[06:15] ---**
You mustn't come near me!
**[06:26] ---**
And yet...
**[06:31] ---**
Why are so many animals gathered around me?
**[06:34] ---**
You can touch them without fear.
**[06:39] ---**
This is my magic.
**[06:46] ---**
I see...
**[06:50] ---**
You can't really touch them, though...
**[06:52] ---**
No. It's warm.
**[06:56] ---**
Thank you.
**[06:58] ---**
Perhaps it's fate that you and I
encountered each other here.
**[07:04] ---**
I have a feeling you're an incredible wizard.
**[07:10] ---**
Please.
**[07:12] ---**
Please teach us magic.
**[07:15] ---**
There's an enemy that we have to fight.
**[07:26] ---**
Who's he?
**[08:12] ---**
We're supposed to be doing magic training,
**[08:14] ---**
so why do we have to meditate?
**[08:17] ---**
Anyway, this is important
to start with, right?
**[08:21] ---**
Magic power is necessary
to put magic into operation.
**[08:30] ---**
You're too far away!
**[08:31] ---**
He can't get too close to us.
**[08:33] ---**
Also, you have to materialize
**[08:35] ---**
the magic power that's inside
of you and release it.
**[08:39] ---**
But we don't have any magic in our bodies!
**[08:43] ---**
But the fact is, there are a great number
of wizards who possess magic in this world.
**[08:47] ---**
This is what it is.
**[08:50] ---**
To wizards, magic power is
the equivalent of life force.
**[08:54] ---**
So-called Ethernanos are the
building blocks of magic power.
**[08:59] ---**
Ethernanos...
**[09:00] ---**
That's right.
**[09:01] ---**
They're in the air
**[09:04] ---**
and can be absorbed into the body.
**[09:06] ---**
Ethernanos that are thus absorbed
become the person's magic power.
**[09:11] ---**
Meditation is the most effective
means of magic absorption.
**[09:16] ---**
Did you know this?
**[09:18] ---**
I just read a little about it in books.
**[09:20] ---**
I have a question, Sensei!
**[09:22] ---**
What, are we in school now?
**[09:25] ---**
Some of us could never pass as students.
**[09:32] ---**
I understand that Ethernanos
are the source of magic power.
**[09:36] ---**
So is it the more you take in,
**[09:39] ---**
the stronger the magic you can use?
**[09:41] ---**
With Ethernanos...
**[09:43] ---**
...the vessel determines the limit
of each wizard's magic power,
**[09:47] ---**
so the amount you can take in varies.
**[09:50] ---**
But even if the magic power in one's body is
exhausted after being used extensively,
**[09:56] ---**
the body will automatically
absorb Ethernanos from the air
**[10:00] ---**
and after a while,
the vessel will be full again.
**[10:03] ---**
In other words, magic power is
something that can be replenished.
**[10:09] ---**
Wow!
**[10:13] ---**
But there's one more important thing.
**[10:16] ---**
Important thing?
**[10:18] ---**
To use magic,
**[10:20] ---**
it takes more than just transforming
the magic power in your body.
**[10:24] ---**
There's something else that's indispensable.
**[10:27] ---**
That is...
**[10:32] ---**
...the strength of a wizard's feelings.
**[10:36] ---**
Strength of feelings?
**[10:38] ---**
Yes.
**[10:39] ---**
Unless you have strong feelings in your heart
**[10:41] ---**
and draw upon them,
it won't be easy to employ any magic.
**[10:49] ---**
It's gotten late.
**[10:52] ---**
We'll stop here for this evening.
We'll start practicing tomorrow.
**[10:55] ---**
Goodnight.
**[10:59] ---**
Goodnight.
**[11:02] ---**
That's what magic is?
**[11:04] ---**
Who is that guy?
**[11:16] ---**
Meditation is the most effective means
**[11:19] ---**
of Ethernanos absorption.
**[11:40] ---**
Are those...
**[11:42] ---**
...Ethernanos?!
**[11:48] ---**
This is...
**[11:50] ---**
It seems you have the makings of a wizard.
**[11:56] ---**
I'm not losing to him!
**[11:57] ---**
Me either!
**[11:59] ---**
Let's all do our best!
**[12:12] ---**
You should probably just try again tomorrow.
**[12:14] ---**
Don't talk to me!
**[12:16] ---**
I'm meditating.
**[12:18] ---**
It's not about trying to
absorb them with your will,
**[12:21] ---**
but setting your heart free.
**[12:23] ---**
I can't do it!
**[12:25] ---**
Sitting still goes against my grain!
**[12:31] ---**
Th-That won't...
**[12:33] ---**
Nope, I feel much better
movin' the old bod around.
**[12:37] ---**
This is how I set my heart and mind free!
**[12:40] ---**
Th-That's how it works for you?
**[12:45] ---**
Here it comes!
**[12:49] ---**
Look! It came to me, too!
**[12:51] ---**
Really?
**[12:53] ---**
Shut up and go to sleep.
**[12:55] ---**
Just look at me, I said!
**[12:57] ---**
Look! Look! Look! Look!
**[12:59] ---**
What do you think?!
What do you think about this?!
**[13:07] ---**
Transformation, huh?
**[13:34] ---**
Focus on my consciousness.
**[13:37] ---**
It's the same as before...
**[13:44] ---**
More... more...
**[13:53] ---**
It's difficult.
**[13:55] ---**
How are you doing, Zera?
**[14:00] ---**
Hey! Don't look at me!
**[14:01] ---**
I can't concentrate!
**[14:12] ---**
That's amazing, Zera!
**[14:14] ---**
Here I go, Mavis!
**[14:16] ---**
I'm ready when you are!
**[14:35] ---**
Guess I don't have enough focus...
**[14:53] ---**
You can't call it training
without a waterfall!
**[14:56] ---**
Yeah! Here come the Ethernanos!
**[14:59] ---**
Gimme more!
**[15:04] ---**
Gimme more!
**[15:12] ---**
Wh-What the...?
**[16:59] ---**
All right!
**[17:10] ---**
Precht, your magic's awesome, too.
**[17:13] ---**
I saw it a little while ago
and was flabbergasted.
**[17:15] ---**
You need to work on yours farther away.
**[17:18] ---**
Your noisy lightning is too distracting.
**[17:20] ---**
Oh, really?
**[17:22] ---**
Then I'm magnificent, too?
**[17:23] ---**
Just get that fire started.
**[17:26] ---**
Up yours.
**[17:28] ---**
By the way, Warrod,
how's your magic comin' along?
**[17:31] ---**
So-so.
**[17:33] ---**
I see.
**[17:38] ---**
That's not enough.
**[17:40] ---**
I'll get some more.
**[17:42] ---**
Okay. Yeah, I'm countin' on you.
**[17:52] ---**
Dammit!
**[17:54] ---**
I'm fine gathering sticks alone.
**[17:56] ---**
If all of them are broken off the trees,
the wood will be too damp to catch fire.
**[18:02] ---**
Let's pick up the sticks
that are on the ground.
**[18:04] ---**
It's always been like this.
**[18:06] ---**
I can never keep up with those two.
**[18:14] ---**
No matter what it is,
**[18:16] ---**
I can't do it as skillfully as them.
**[18:18] ---**
It's happening all over again here.
I'm holding them back.
**[18:21] ---**
You're holding them back?
**[18:23] ---**
They said just the opposite.
**[18:26] ---**
The opposite?
**[18:28] ---**
Yes.
**[18:36] ---**
Are you okay?
**[18:37] ---**
Training is important,
but you shouldn't overdo it...
**[18:41] ---**
I don't want a repeat of
what happened last time.
**[18:44] ---**
Of course not.
**[18:46] ---**
We won't be sitting ducks again for them...
**[18:48] ---**
No.
**[18:50] ---**
I'm talking about getting saved by Warrod.
**[18:56] ---**
It's always been like that.
**[18:58] ---**
Every time we jump off the deep end,
Warrod's there to haul us to safety.
**[19:02] ---**
Without him, I'd be in
the afterlife right now.
**[19:06] ---**
That's right.
**[19:08] ---**
I owe him a lot.
**[19:11] ---**
We're comrades.
**[19:13] ---**
We can't let the big lug
do all the heavy lifting,
**[19:16] ---**
so next time, it'll be
our turn to protect him.
**[19:19] ---**
Protect me?
**[19:22] ---**
It's nice to have comrades, isn't it?
**[19:25] ---**
In order to use magic,
it's important to have...
**[19:30] ---**
...the strength of feelings.
**[19:32] ---**
Yes. The strength of feelings.
**[19:38] ---**
Well, let's go back.
**[19:40] ---**
I'm hungry.
**[19:49] ---**
It seems I'm not cut out for intense attacks.
**[19:53] ---**
I want to protect my comrades.
**[19:56] ---**
Teach me magic that will
let me support everyone.
**[19:59] ---**
Sure.
**[20:00] ---**
There's a kind of magic that goes well
with the color of your soul.
**[20:05] ---**
Color of my soul?
**[20:15] ---**
Tree magic, huh?
**[20:27] ---**
W-What's going on?!
**[20:29] ---**
I... I don't know!
**[20:30] ---**
What the...?
**[20:35] ---**
Is that...
**[20:36] ---**
...Warrod?!
**[20:37] ---**
Who else could it be?
**[20:40] ---**
You did it, Warrod.
**[20:50] ---**
This is my magic!
**[20:55] ---**
I'm the last one left.
**[20:58] ---**
What are you so down about?
**[21:01] ---**
I'm not down,
**[21:03] ---**
but I was wishing I also had
special magic that would
**[21:06] ---**
let me protect those
who are dear to me.
**[21:10] ---**
W-What?!
**[21:11] ---**
We're having an important conversation!
**[21:23] ---**
Whoa! My whole body is surging with power!
**[21:27] ---**
Yeah. Now we can also...
**[21:29] ---**
...fight.
**[21:32] ---**
What do you think?
**[21:33] ---**
Introducing Black Magic Mavis!
**[21:36] ---**
You're really into it, huh?
**[21:38] ---**
Yes!
**[21:39] ---**
Huh? Where is that black magic wizard?
**[21:43] ---**
Come to think of it,
I haven't seen him for a while.
**[21:45] ---**
Have you guys seen him?
**[21:47] ---**
N-No.
**[21:48] ---**
I haven't seen him.
**[21:51] ---**
Where'd he go?
**[21:52] ---**
For me, this was extremely odd behavior.
**[21:56] ---**
Teaching people...
**[21:58] ---**
Teaching a girl magic...
**[22:00] ---**
Even for a whim, it was going too far.
**[22:03] ---**
But our time together...
**[22:09] ---**
...has become a treasure for me, Mavis.
**[22:14] ---**
Fairy Tail would be born in ten days.
**[22:19] ---**
Perhaps I'm the one...
**[22:21] ---**
...who killed her.
**[23:56] ---**
The time to strike back has come.
**[23:57] ---**
The time to free the town of Magnolia...
**[23:59] ---**
Mavis and the others challenge
Blue Skull to another fight.
**[24:03] ---**
Yuri, Precht, Warrod...
**[24:06] ---**
Now that the three of them have new powers,
they unleash a wave of explosive attacks
**[24:10] ---**
as Fairy Tactician Mavis's strategy pays off.
**[24:14] ---**
However, the battle takes a turn
that no one could have imagined.
**[24:19] ---**
Next time: Treasure.
***SIGN*** Treasure
**[24:22] ---**
There are some things that can't be lost.
