**[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 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.*

**[20:02] ---**
*Adler dorm, Mash Burnedead!*
**[20:07] ---**
Hey, that Mash guy...
**[20:09] ---**
Isn't he the one who can't use magic?
**[20:12] ---**
If that's true, him being
in the selection exam is unprecedented.
**[20:16] ---**
This is no place for you!
**[20:19] ---**
Go home!
**[20:20] ---**
That's right, go home!

Come on! Someone like him might ruin
the prestige of Divine Visionaries!
**[20:38] ---**
What do you say about that, admins!?
**[20:42] ---**
What a bunch of bullies.
**[20:44] ---**
Mash earned the right
to be here by winning coins.
**[20:49] ---**
*His entire life is riding

**[20:53] ---**
*Mash must be under incredible pressure.*
**[20:57] ---**
*I should be encouraging.*

qualifying exam for you!*

*It's called, "Deadervant's Haunt"!*

Huh? That doesn't sound
as dangerous as I thought.

*But! The key is in the swim bladder
of a Troll-goosefish!*
**[21:43] ---**
*You must use magic
to pop it like a balloon!*

That's really tough. I see.
