[01:31] ---
    The qualifying round of the second
    Divine Visionary Candidate Exam.
[01:35] ---
    It is known as "Deadervant's Haunt."
[01:38] ---
    A key is hidden inside a Troll-goosefish
    swim bladder somewhere in the stage.
[01:43] ---
    You need to escape by using magic
    to pop it like a balloon and obtain the key.
[01:48] ---
    However, you need to do so
    while fleeing from three Deadervants.
SIGN    WAIL
[01:54] ---
    This is impossible!
[01:57] ---
    The upcoming qualifying round
    is "Deadervant's Haunt."
[02:00] ---
    Of course, you must pass this
    to make it to the main exam!
[02:05] ---
    Rafflesian Mirrors will transmit
    everything to the audience!
[02:10] ---
    Cheating will not be accepted!
[02:12] ---
    All entrants, are we ready?
[02:18] ---
    With that, let the match begin!
[02:44] ---
    I want to go home. I just want
    to keep sleeping in my bed.
[02:51] ---
    I just gotta find the key, right?
[02:58] ---
    Esepecial!
[03:02] ---
    I should mention the Deadervants are
    completely immune to magic! So watch out!
[03:09] ---
    And the moment you touch
    one of their axes, it's game over.
[03:12] ---
    You will be transferred out of the stage
    with some soul-splitting pain!
[03:19] ---
    One has already been disqualified!
    We have 11 candidates left!
SIGN    ONE DISQUALIFIED
    11 SURVIVORS REMAINING
[03:24] ---
    So I have to keep running from
    Deadervants and hunt for the key.
[03:30] ---
    No hints about the key's location, either.
[03:33] ---
    Making us scramble blindly
    for a key is a pretty poor test.
[03:39] ---
    Unless there's some
    unrevealed strategy going on here.
[03:47] ---
    It is a test after all.
[03:50] ---
    Are they trying to see how we
    use our magic to escape the enemy?
[03:54] ---
    That's exactly right!
[03:56] ---
    Deadervants are stand-ins
    immune to magic.
[03:59] ---
    It's limited to this stage, but powerful magic
    made them for that purpose.
[04:06] ---
    When one individual's power
    isn't enough to defeat an enemy,
[04:10] ---
    choosing to retreat
    is always a valid tactic.
[04:15] ---
    This exam questions how well you do
    in a situation where you're forced to flee.
[04:21] ---
    How tasteless! I knew this school
    was messed up, but...
[04:28] ---
    One guy out in the first few moments?
[04:31] ---
    This year's candidates are pretty weak.
[04:34] ---
    Well, last year they had Rayne.
    There's no comparing these guys.
[04:39] ---
    It's time to run
    like your life depends on it!
[04:59] ---
    No way! Deadervant down in one hit!?
[05:01] ---
    It's holding its stomach
    and breathing heavily.
[05:04] ---
    This test is about how well you do
    when you have to retreat, isn't it?
[05:10] ---
    That Deadervant that I couldn't
    do anything against...
[05:13] ---
    He's totally nuts!
[05:18] ---
    Now I just need to find the key.
[05:23] ---
    That's right. A Deadervant is a phantom.
    They are not living creatures.
[05:27] ---
    Any damage they take
    heals instantly, so be careful!
SIGN    BA-DUMP
[05:32] ---
    Oh gosh. Then I won't have anything
    to do with them anymore.
SIGN    DAAAAAAAAAAAASH
[05:38] ---
    So, where is this balloon with the key?
[05:41] ---
    Small.
[05:42] ---
    This is going to be rough
    with my puny brain.
[05:47] ---
    Huh?
[05:51] ---
    I've gotten smaller.
[05:53] ---
    I casted a spell.
[05:56] ---
    Over here.
[06:04] ---
    It's gone now.
[06:05] ---
    Deadervants have bad eyesight,
    but is really sensitive to sound.
[06:10] ---
    You're fine if you keep that in mind.
[06:13] ---
    Dispel.
[06:18] ---
    I'm back to normal.
[06:20] ---
    My personal magic
    changes sizes of things at will.
[06:25] ---
    So that's why I shrunk earlier.
[06:27] ---
    You got it.
[06:29] ---
    Thanks for helping me
    even though it's an exam.
[06:33] ---
    Oh, come on now.
[06:35] ---
    It's obvious we'll do better
    if we work together.
[06:39] ---
    So it's only natural.
[06:41] ---
    In other words,
    we have formed an alliance.
[06:45] ---
    Let's clear the exam together.
[06:47] ---
    Huh? This is too sudden.
[06:51] ---
    Then again, you did save me.
[06:54] ---
    You are too nice.
[06:57] ---
    First, the whereabouts of the key.
[06:59] ---
    I'm certain it's somewhere
    in the Deadervant's patrol radius.
[07:03] ---
    Huh? Why is that?
[07:05] ---
    This is an exam after all.
[07:08] ---
    I'm sure they're watching for abilities
    in spur-of-the-moment situations as well,
[07:11] ---
    but they should have created the field
    so that we can logically deduce an answer.
[07:16] ---
    Huh?
[07:17] ---
    No way, did you pass out?
[07:21] ---
    I'm sorry.
    It was a bit hard to understand.
[07:25] ---
    Well, in other words...
SIGN    BAM
[07:27] ---
    We're going to follow Deadervants.
SIGN    BOOM
[07:30] ---
    Roger.
SIGN    SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE
[07:36] ---
    Where the hell is this key?
[07:39] ---
    Where is it!
[07:45] ---
    Can this be...
SIGN    TIP TIP
SIGN    DON'T MAKE A SOUND.
SIGN    ROGER.
SIGN    WE'RE SAFE.
SIGN    SAFE.
SIGN    HEY, THAT THING...
[08:21] ---
    I knew it.
[08:24] ---
    The key is in the center of the area
    a Deadervant moves around in.
[08:30] ---
    That thing under the balloon... a bellows?
[08:35] ---
    So we inflate it until it bursts? Easy.
[08:37] ---
    Huh? Wait, stop! It's obviously...
SIGN    HOONK
[08:46] ---
    Are you an idiot?
[08:49] ---
    Now we've done it.
[08:51] ---
    You mean you've done it.
[08:54] ---
    That balloon...
[08:55] ---
    Pressing the bellows to inflate it makes a sound
    that calls Deadervants to chase you.
[09:02] ---
    My magic can change the size of objects.
[09:05] ---
    So how do we fill it with air?
[09:09] ---
    Why don't we just break the balloon?
[09:17] ---
    All right, I don't see Deadervants.
    Now's the time to rip it up.
[09:21] ---
    'Kay.
SIGN    HONK
[09:28] ---
    Didn't think touching the balloon
    would make a sound, too.
[09:32] ---
    Though, I suppose it would.
[09:34] ---
    That means we can't pull the key
    out of the balloon, either.
[09:39] ---
    Perhaps if we break that bellows,
    the key just falls out.
[09:47] ---
    The key doesn't fall down,
    and the balloon doesn't deflate.
[09:52] ---
    Is the key floating inside by magic?
[09:55] ---
    So we do have to inflate
    the balloon with magic.
[10:00] ---
    But what kind of magic?
[10:04] ---
    And we already broke the bellows.
[10:13] ---
    Ready.
[10:17] ---
    Bigduk.
[10:23] ---
    Hey! He just used his magic
    to make the balloon bigger.
[10:28] ---
    Is he a moron?
[10:29] ---
    What's he gonna do
    by making it harder to burst?
[10:34] ---
    By the way, touching the balloon
    from the inside also makes a sound,
[10:37] ---
    so you can't crawl inside, either!
[10:40] ---
    Mash.
[10:44] ---
    Huh? What's that?
[10:49] ---
    Is he...
SIGN    BAM
[10:54] ---
    ...about to breakdance!?
[11:00] ---
    Come on, you're joking.
[11:03] ---
    That's impossible!
[11:04] ---
    Seriously impossible.
[11:07] ---
    That's so freaky!
[11:11] ---
    The answer is always simple.
[11:14] ---
    I make the balloon bigger with my magic,
[11:16] ---
    and we send air into the balloon
    through the larger air hole.
[11:21] ---
    By breakdancing!
[11:24] ---
    I see.
[11:25] ---
    M-My hat's off to them.
SIGN    THROB THROB
[11:38] ---
    A living weapon.
[11:40] ---
    He's a living weapon!
[11:43] ---
    There.
[11:45] ---
    We got the first key!
[11:50] ---
    While Mash and Max obtained a key,
    in other locations...
[11:56] ---
    Graviole.
[12:05] ---
    I guess I pass this round.
[12:20] ---
    Hey.
[12:22] ---
    Don't attack! Don't punch!
    I hate pain! I'm sorry!
[12:25] ---
    Are you all right, Finn?
[12:29] ---
    Dot!
[12:30] ---
    You got your key already?
[12:33] ---
    You're so hopeless.
    I'll help you out, then.
[12:37] ---
    Dot, you're bleeding!
[12:39] ---
    You're so hopeless.
[12:40] ---
    No, but blood!
[12:42] ---
    You're so hopeless!
[12:44] ---
    I'm telling you, blood!
[12:46] ---
    Hurray, hurray, hurray.
[12:49] ---
    Well, we somehow made it.
[12:51] ---
    For a while, I was wondering
    what would happen.
[12:53] ---
    So, um...
[12:55] ---
    Hm? What is it?
[12:57] ---
    Here.
[12:58] ---
    Huh?
[12:59] ---
    We got this key thanks to you,
    so please take it.
[13:08] ---
    You really are a good person.
[13:11] ---
    Huh? That's not really true.
[13:14] ---
    You should take that key.
[13:20] ---
    The exit is that way.
[13:22] ---
    There's a rumor that time
    is a factor in your ranking.
[13:26] ---
    Huh? But...
[13:28] ---
    Actually, I heard
    all about you from Rayne.
[13:33] ---
    Mr. Rabbits.
[13:35] ---
    I really didn't think you were
    this good-natured.
[13:39] ---
    I got the gist of how to obtain the key.
    I can do the rest by myself.
[13:45] ---
    Mash, I'm just trying to act tough.
[13:49] ---
    It's my ego saying that I want
    to do something for people like you.
[13:54] ---
    So don't worry.
[13:59] ---
    It's an important job for a junior
    to keep a senior's honor.
[14:04] ---
    'Kay.
[14:10] ---
    Thank you very much.
[14:20] ---
    Now then...
[14:33] ---
    My bad hunch was right.
[14:37] ---
    Carpaccio Luo-yang of Orca.
[14:46] ---
    Was I able to act like a senior, Rayne?
[14:51] ---
    Bring it on.
[14:56] ---
    Now, candidates who obtained keys
    are filing in one after another!
[14:59] ---
    Here are drinks and towels.
[15:11] ---
    Mash!
[15:15] ---
    Dot, Finn.
[15:17] ---
    Balloons and explosive magic
    was a good pairing.
[15:21] ---
    That said, you have quite a wound.
[15:23] ---
    I got Finn's key as well.
[15:28] ---
    Are you okay?
[15:31] ---
    I'm surprised you defeated that balloon
    without using magic.
[15:36] ---
    Well, I had help so I managed somehow.
[15:39] ---
    But why did he give me the key?
[15:42] ---
    It seems like he had
    some reason to do so.
[15:46] ---
    What's wrong?
[15:47] ---
    No, just...
[15:51] ---
    Only nine people
    can advance to the next stage!
[15:53] ---
    Who will take that final spot?
[16:04] ---
    There he...
[16:09] ---
    And there you have it!
[16:11] ---
    The last one is...
[16:13] ---
    Orca dorm's Carpaccio Luo-yang!
[16:20] ---
    But this is quite horrible.
    There's so much blood.
[16:24] ---
    Was there a need to hurt him this badly?
[16:27] ---
    Could this be a declaration of war!?
[16:34] ---
    I don't need weaklings.
[16:36] ---
    Weaklings are useless.
[16:39] ---
    So it shouldn't matter
    what I do to them.
[16:44] ---
    Excuse me.
[16:46] ---
    What are you doing?
[16:48] ---
    If you go any further, I'll punch you.
[16:51] ---
    More like, did you really
    have to go that far?
[16:54] ---
    I just said it.
    I can do whatever I want.
[16:59] ---
    Carpaccio Luo-yang.
    The top continuing student for this year.
[17:04] ---
    Just like Lance, he's a true elite.
[17:11] ---
    H-Here's your drink and towel.
[17:24] ---
    Weaklings should keep quiet.
SIGN    SLUP SUP SUP SUP
[17:34] ---
    Can that be...
SIGN    PHEW
[17:39] ---
    Sorry. It's 3 o'clock, which is when I like
    to take my homemade special muscle drink.
[17:44] ---
    It's a protein shake!
[17:46] ---
    Powdered beans.
    It makes it easier to absorb protein.
[17:50] ---
    The nerve of making a protein shake with
    the water that was about to go on his head. Scary.
[17:56] ---
    Sorry, but a schedule for protein
    consumption is very important.
[18:01] ---
    Also, you keep calling people "weaklings."
[18:04] ---
    But I have yet to meet
    anyone stronger than me.
[18:12] ---
    Besides, the definition of strength
    differs from person to person.
[18:16] ---
    Wait.
SIGN    HONK
[18:18] ---
    What does it mean to be strong?
[18:20] ---
    He brought up the topic,
    but he confused himself.
[18:35] ---
    Hold it right there!
[18:37] ---
    Save the fighting for the examination!
[18:40] ---
    Is that understood!?
[18:41] ---
    Without further ado,
    let's move on to the next exam!
[18:56] ---
    Our robes changed colors?
[18:59] ---
    Here's your next exam!
[19:02] ---
    It's called "The Life Crystal."
[19:06] ---
    This will be a team battle!
[19:08] ---
    Each team has three members.
[19:10] ---
    With nine candidates,
    we will have three teams!
[19:13] ---
    After the teams are set, the three members
    will get one crystal each.
[19:17] ---
    And you will go break the crystals
    of opposing teams!
[19:21] ---
    A team is disqualified
    when all their crystals are broken!
[19:25] ---
    I see.
[19:26] ---
    So that's why it's a team match.
[19:33] ---
    Yo! Your explanation's too complicated
    and our captain's brain isn't keeping up!
[19:38] ---
    Make it easier to understand, damn it!
[19:40] ---
    W-Well, in other words, you split up
    into teams and break each other's crystals.
[19:46] ---
    So we just smash everyone
    else's crystals. That's easy!
[19:50] ---
    Mash, smash crystal. Mash, smash crystal.
[19:54] ---
    That's right! Smash! Smash 'em!
[19:56] ---
    Smash crystal.
[19:59] ---
    Moreover...
[20:01] ---
    Lance is in a different team.
    What should we do?
[20:06] ---
    Now we will hand out the crystals.
[20:11] ---
    These crystals are fragile,
    so handle them carefully!
[20:17] ---
    These crystals determine the exam results,
    and therefore our fate.
[20:23] ---
    Each team has three members.
    If all our crystals break, we drop out.
[20:28] ---
    So even if mine breaks, at least...
[20:34] ---
    It slipped.
[20:37] ---
    W-We're still fine. Dot's crystal...
[20:45] ---
    This thing was so slippery.

    Bad, bad, very bad!
[20:56] ---
    This means that it's all over
    if my crystal breaks.
[20:59] ---
    Oh, don't worry.
[21:02] ---
    We'll make sure to protect
    your crystal through all of this.
[21:07] ---
    You guys.
[21:09] ---
    That's right. As long as
    these two are at my side.
[21:14] ---
    Wait, why are you looking so smug?
    You should show some remorse.
[21:18] ---
    Everyone, sorry for the wait!
[21:20] ---
    Time to begin the exam!
[21:22] ---
    Stage shift!
[21:37] ---
    Just like the previous round, candidates
    will be scattered throughout the stage!
[21:41] ---
    Which team will protect their crystals
    to the end and pass this exam!?
SIGN    ALONE...
[21:52] ---
    I-It's a team match,
    so why are we forced to split apart!?

    Damn it!

    He was all alone.
