[00:01] ---
    At Easton Magic Academy,
    each dorm is overseen by a prefect.

[00:08] ---
    The three prefects boasts
    some of the greatest talent in Easton.

[00:13] ---
    All of them have the skills necessary
    to become a Divine Visionary.

[01:54] ---
    A few years ago, a tournament was held for
    13-15 year olds in the middle school division.

[02:03] ---
    One magic user singlehandedly
    overpowered all the other competitors.

[02:08] ---
    They had only been nine at the time.
[02:10] ---
    Their name was Margarette Macaron.
[02:13] ---
    The future prefect of Orca dorm.
[02:17] ---
    Well, well. If it isn't the Sword Cane...
[02:20] ---
    Rayne Ames.
[02:22] ---
    Of all people...
[02:25] ---
    Not only will I face Mash Burnedead,
    but a Divine Visionary
[02:29] ---
    will also entertain me?
[02:38] ---
    But you are...
[03:48] ---
    The powerless... winter.
[03:59] ---
    What the hell is going on here?
[04:03] ---
    Not every powerful magic user
    strives to be a Divine Visionary.
[04:07] ---
    "Divine Visionary" is just a title, after all.
[04:12] ---
    Compared to myself who genuinely
    sought nothing but strength,
[04:15] ---
    and you who sought a superficial position.
[04:20] ---
    Which one of us is stronger?
[04:31] ---
    Partisan.
[04:33] ---
    Sounds.
[04:40] ---
    Okay, I'll roll first.
[04:44] ---
    A 67.
[04:49] ---
    Let's see...
[04:51] ---
    "Easily duped by a scheming beauty's
    charm spell. Lose five million Lond."
[04:58] ---
    What the hell!?
    This board game's a piece of crap!
[05:02] ---
    Oh, no!
[05:04] ---
    I'm next.
[05:08] ---
    A 25.
[05:12] ---
    "Head to holding cell for restraining
    a love interest like a stalker."
[05:17] ---
    "Skip 320 turns."
[05:21] ---
    This board game might be dangerous
    as it may predict our futures.
[05:27] ---
    "Your little sister suddenly brings home
    a boyfriend. Return to start"!?
[05:38] ---
    "Return a lost item to the police.
    Earn 100 Lond."
[05:42] ---
    I'm glad.
[05:44] ---
    All right. Guess I'm next.
[05:48] ---
    A 98.
[05:52] ---
    Let's see...
[05:54] ---
    "It's discovered you can't use magic,
    and you are executed."
[05:58] ---
    "Game over."
[06:04] ---
    Game over!?
[06:06] ---
    Gotta laugh. Just gotta laugh it off!
[06:08] ---
    What's up with this board game!?
[06:11] ---
    - Graviole. Graviole. Graviole.
    - Just let 'em try!
[06:13] ---
    - Graviole. Graviole. Graviole.
    - Yeah, let 'em try!
[06:16] ---
    - Graviole. Graviole. Graviole.
    - Just let 'em try!
[06:20] ---
    I never dreamed he'd be surrounded
    by such wonderful friends.

[06:24] ---
    I hope it lasts forever.
[06:29] ---
    I'm sure it will.
[06:33] ---
    - I'm the future wife, you hear?
    - More like, what the hell is this thing!?
[06:34] ---
    I have to keep it going.
[06:37] ---
    Partisan!
[06:40] ---
    Shiver Sounds!
[06:46] ---
    Howling Sounds!
[07:00] ---
    I wouldn't attack if I were you.
[07:04] ---
    They'll explode in response
    to your spellcasting.
[07:09] ---
    Rayne Ames.
[07:11] ---
    Do you know why we desire stimulation?
[07:16] ---
    Art, love, sports, drinking,
    drugs, gambling...
[07:23] ---
    None of these things are necessary
    to live a normal life.
[07:28] ---
    So why seek them?
[07:31] ---
    The answer is simple.
[07:33] ---
    Because boredom is as good as death.
[07:39] ---
    We live for those stimulations.
[07:44] ---
    Yet, you...
[07:46] ---
    You're awfully easygoing,
    meddling in other's business.
[07:52] ---
    How boring.
[07:54] ---
    I can't imagine someone with values
    like you could ever fulfill me.
[08:00] ---
    Be a dear and step aside.
[08:02] ---
    I've got to see Mash Burnedead.
[08:06] ---
    He's a brazen kid.
[08:09] ---
    Brazen enough to tell me...
[08:12] ---
    that he will become a Divine Visionary
    even without magic.
[08:17] ---
    That he will change the perception
    of this world.
[08:23] ---
    His mood shifted?
[08:27] ---
    If he went against Margarette, not even
    Lord Rayne would walk away unscathed.
[08:33] ---
    Rayne may act aloof,
    but he always takes care of others.
[08:38] ---
    By the way, Nerey...
[08:40] ---
    What do you know about marks?
[08:44] ---
    Well, the number of marks increases
    in accordance with your absolute magic power?
[08:50] ---
    Correct.
[08:51] ---
    Easton Magic Academy has had
    many double-liners cross our step, of course.
[08:59] ---
    But there have only been an extremely
    small number of triple-liners.
[09:05] ---
    If two lines means magic itself
    recognizes their talent,
[09:09] ---
    then those with three lines
    must be chosen by the gods.
[09:13] ---
    The summer... of bliss.
[09:17] ---
    And the youngest to ever
    acquire three lines is...
[09:23] ---
    the one named Rayne Ames.
[09:27] ---
    Change the perception of this world...
[09:29] ---
    I'll make sure that brazen kid
    goes as far as he can go.
[09:37] ---
    "It's discovered
    you can't use magic. Executed."
[09:44] ---
    I'm gonna get some fresh air.
[09:47] ---
    He acts cool,
    but it must be eating him up inside.
[09:51] ---
    Of course it is.
    He didn't do anything wrong.
[09:55] ---
    If I were in his shoes,
    I would keep blaming society.
[10:11] ---
    No one will ever spot me out here.
[10:14] ---
    I can't eat this specialty cream puff
    in everyone's presence.
[10:25] ---
    A triple-liner. A talent gifted by the gods.
[10:29] ---
    To find someone my age
    who's achieved that level.

[10:34] ---
    Just how blessed am I?
[10:38] ---
    Howling Sounds will create a chain explosion
    in reaction to chanting.

[10:43] ---
    He may be a triple-liner,
    but he has to chant to use magic.

[10:49] ---
    Orter Madl put you up to this, didn't he?
[10:52] ---
    It's not like you to take an interest
    in school affairs, but you're here.
[10:56] ---
    This pretty much has to be
    Orter Madl's doing.
[10:59] ---
    Dear me. I have no idea
    what you're talking about.
[11:04] ---
    Your target Mash Burnedead
    can't use magic.
[11:10] ---
    In this world, lack of magic
    is basically having no human rights.
[11:15] ---
    An ordinary human
    would feel despair, no doubt.
[11:19] ---
    Jealous of those who can use magic,
    regretting being ever born, hating society...
[11:23] ---
    All of those would be reasonable reactions.
[11:27] ---
    But Mash Burnedead is different.
[11:32] ---
    He...
[11:34] ---
    fights against his own destiny.
[11:42] ---
    Not that an underhanded rat like you
    would ever understand.
[11:47] ---
    Oh my. What a darling little speech.
[11:51] ---
    But...
[11:53] ---
    I couldn't care less.
[11:59] ---
    They remain confident despite facing down
    a triple-liner Divine Visionary.

[12:03] ---
    They're not being cocky, though.
[12:06] ---
    They distributed their coins to the dorm, saying
    they weren't interested in Divine Visionaries.

[12:10] ---
    But they took a total of ten gold coins
    from upperclassmen, more than anyone last year.

[12:17] ---
    Besides, Howling Sounds will end
    the moment he chants a counterspell.

[12:22] ---
    This shows Margarette Macaron's
    overwhelming talent.

[12:37] ---
    I hear it... The unending applause...
[12:47] ---
    Sounds Orchestra.
[12:54] ---
    Now you're forced to cast a spell.
[12:57] ---
    Checkmate.
[12:59] ---
    Um... What exactly distinguishes
    a triple-liner from a double-liner?
[13:05] ---
    Three lines signify one chosen by the gods.
[13:09] ---
    They can unleash more power
    than a double-liner, of course.
[13:15] ---
    But that is hardly all they can do.
[13:18] ---
    They can awaken
    a wand's dormant true form.
[13:24] ---
    True form?
[13:26] ---
    Yes, that's correct. The reason why
    lies behind magic being a gift from the gods.
[13:42] ---
    Howling Sounds was drowned out
    without being activated?

[13:45] ---
    Summon Ares.
[13:47] ---
    In other words, their power calls upon
    a god's strength from within a wand.
[13:53] ---
    His wand is changing form!?
[13:57] ---
    So this is what was given to Divine Visionary
    Rayne Ames, the title of a god's wand...

[14:03] ---
    "Sword Cane."
[14:05] ---
    Checkmate.
[14:06] ---
    Black Partisan.
[14:13] ---
    Sounds Shield!
[14:29] ---
    U-Um, I guess I should say thanks.
[14:34] ---
    For what? I was just playing
    with some rabbits in the forest.
[14:40] ---
    So you are a fan of rabbits.
[14:45] ---
    The selection exam is soon.
[14:47] ---
    Yes.
[14:48] ---
    I'm terrible at encouraging people.
[14:51] ---
    But I'll say one thing.
[14:55] ---
    You're embarking on a challenge the likes
    of which this world has never seen.
[15:00] ---
    Nothing good will ever come
    from your failure.
[15:05] ---
    So win.
[15:06] ---
    And give your challenge meaning.
[15:10] ---
    'Kay.
[15:17] ---
    You kids are so sloppy.
[15:21] ---
    So that's a triple-liner.
[15:23] ---
    The gigantic wand raises
    the baseline magic power output.

[15:28] ---
    Even entry-level spells have the effectiveness
    of Secondth magic.

[15:34] ---
    I could have tried my own Secondth spell,
    but I put their safety as my priority.

[15:40] ---
    Is this maternal instinct?
[15:45] ---
    Margarette, I'm sorry.
[15:48] ---
    No worries.
[15:52] ---
    As they all say,
    you save the best for last.
[16:01] ---
    Afterwards...
[16:03] ---
    These are the coins we got from Lang.
[16:06] ---
    Three per person sound good?
[16:09] ---
    Let's do our best on the selection exam.
[16:11] ---
    I can't!
[16:14] ---
    I'm sorry!
[16:26] ---
    It'll be soon. Wait for me, Anna.
SIGN    STARE
[16:35] ---
    I'm too hyped to sleep!
[16:37] ---
    Guess I'll check my luggage.
[16:39] ---
    Water bottle, handkerchief,
    bug repellant, tissue.
[16:43] ---
    And then eye drops, antacid,
    pain reliever, laxative.
[16:48] ---
    Facial toner, antiperspirant,
    breath freshener.
[16:53] ---
    Mash, I heard from your friends.
[16:56] ---
    Everyone has discovered
    that you can't use magic?
[17:02] ---
    And that you will be charged with this crime
    if you don't meet their demands.
[17:11] ---
    I'm sorry. This is my doing.
[17:15] ---
    If only I could have given you a normal life.
[17:21] ---
    If only I could have provided you
    a life without inconveniences.
[17:26] ---
    If I had done more to hide it all to the end.
[17:29] ---
    But I'm happy.
[17:32] ---
    I have you who always
    looks out for me so much.
[17:36] ---
    I was able to go to school even for
    a little bit, and was blessed with friends.
[17:42] ---
    I got to eat lots of cream puffs, too.
[17:46] ---
    So I'm happy.
[17:48] ---
    Thank you, Pops.
[17:54] ---
    Good. Now come back safe and sound.
[17:59] ---
    The path to Divine Visionary
    is broadly divided into three stages.

[18:05] ---
    The first is coin acquisition.
[18:08] ---
    The second is
    the Divine Visionary Candidate Exam.

[18:12] ---
    The third is
    the Divine Visionary Elect Final Exam.

[18:17] ---
    One must acquire five or more gold coins
    to advance to the second stage.
