[00:01] ---
    From the previous episode...
[00:30] ---
    Mash was pretty good at tennis as well.
[00:33] ---
    And was merciless.
[00:37] ---
    Divine Visionary Candidate Exam,
    qualifying round...
[00:41] ---
    "The Life Crystal" still continues.
[02:36] ---
    I hear a "Re."
[02:40] ---
    You see, power and pitch
    fuse together in my head.
[02:44] ---
    Your power is a "Re" in the
    "Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do" scale.
[02:50] ---
    The higher your pitch, the stronger you are.
[02:53] ---
    You two are at the second tier
    from the bottom.
[02:59] ---
    The likes of you will never
    show me the coming of spring.
[03:05] ---
    Quickly put your crystals down
    and begone from here.
[03:10] ---
    You know it's two-on-one, right?
[03:12] ---
    You're not in a position to be able to say...
[03:15] ---
    ...this and that!
[03:20] ---
    Wulfes!
[03:22] ---
    Roks!
[03:23] ---
    I am fully aware that Macaron
    is as powerful as a Divine Visionary.
[03:28] ---
    But both of us have gathered
    three gold coins each to be here.
[03:33] ---
    We're in the top tier, too.
[03:35] ---
    We can't lose two-on-one...
[03:37] ---
    Sounds: Ray, A Drop of Golden Sun!
[03:45] ---
    - Wulf Shield!
    - Rok Shield!
[03:49] ---
    Two-on-one, and with one basic spell...
[03:52] ---
    How can a fellow student be so...
[03:55] ---
    ...so much more powerful?
[04:04] ---
    Damn it, my body won't move...
[04:07] ---
    My pitch is "Ti" on that scale.
[04:13] ---
    You two are "Re" put together.
[04:18] ---
    I hope the difference between us is clear.
[04:25] ---
    Th-They're too strong!
[04:27] ---
    That's enough!
[04:29] ---
    One team dropped out,
    so the exam is over!
[04:35] ---
    It ended before I could do anything.
[04:40] ---
    Oh well. In any case, we got through!
    We're moving on!
SIGN    HUP HUP HUP
[04:44] ---
    Go, go, Mushroom!
    Push, push, Mushroom!
[04:48] ---
    A word from today's MVP,
    Mash Burnedead.
[04:51] ---
    How was the qualifying round?
[04:53] ---
    I want a cream puff.
[04:55] ---
    That's not an answer at all!
[04:57] ---
    The end! Hurray!
[05:04] ---
    It's suddenly quiet.
[05:07] ---
    Mash Burnedead.
[05:09] ---
    The greatest trial for you begins here.
[05:14] ---
    Finally, we can see them get serious.
[05:17] ---
    The only one who gave Rayne Ames
    a run for his money last year...
[05:22] ---
    Margarette Macaron's true strength.
[05:26] ---
    The ripening summer... is here.
[05:38] ---
    I'll look forward to the next exam, Mash.
[05:47] ---
    What's wrong, Mash?
SIGN    TWITCH TWITCH
[05:49] ---
    Mike told me to be careful.
[05:51] ---
    Mike? Oh, you mean your pecs.
[06:00] ---
    Facing someone like Macaron makes it
    difficult for Mushroom Head to move on.
[06:07] ---
    Right, Mr. Wahlberg?
[06:12] ---
    The reason why Rayne Ames was able
    to become Divine Visionary as a second-year
[06:17] ---
    was largely due to the fact that
    Macaron didn't participate in the exam.
[06:22] ---
    As the head of Magic Talent Administration,
    I carefully examine every candidate each year.
[06:29] ---
    And in my opinion, the surest candidate
    for Divine Visionary
[06:33] ---
    is Margarette Macaron.
[06:37] ---
    I witnessed in person Macaron devastating
    that tournament a few years ago.
[06:43] ---
    Especially their Secondth is...
[06:47] ---
    Indeed.
[06:50] ---
    Sorry. I couldn't help it.
[06:53] ---
    I'm sure you'd like to say,
    "that's only under normal circumstances."
[06:58] ---
    You really do take his side quite a bit.
[07:02] ---
    I have no idea what makes him so alluring.
[07:07] ---
    Macaron has the qualifications
    to become Divine Visionary.
[07:10] ---
    And I doubt that Mushroom Head
    has that much aptitude.
[07:15] ---
    That's just how overwhelming
    the difference between them is.
[07:20] ---
    That kid embarrassed me
    during the qualifying round.
[07:23] ---
    I'm gonna make sure
    that Mushroom Head goes down.
[07:26] ---
    Macaron, they say Mushroom Head
    can't use magic.
[07:32] ---
    Please beat him up
    on behalf of us magic users.
[07:36] ---
    I wouldn't mind slipping
    a laxative in his...
[07:42] ---
    Please don't do anything
    do dampen my fun.
[07:46] ---
    I'll kill you.
[07:48] ---
    You hear?
[07:50] ---
    That goes for even you...
[07:53] ---
    Orter Madl.
[07:57] ---
    I'll stay quiet
    as long as you get the job done.
[08:02] ---
    I see.
[08:04] ---
    Holding their own against a Divine Visionary...
[08:08] ---
    So this is Margarette Macaron!
[08:12] ---
    Why do I train so hard?
[08:15] ---
    It all began when Pops told me to.
[08:19] ---
    At first, it felt heavy and was so tiring...
    I really hated it.
[08:23] ---
    But as I begrudgingly kept doing it,
    I could hold more and more weight.
[08:28] ---
    Nowadays, I can hold
    my head up high and say it.
[08:32] ---
    The reason why I pump iron...
    That's because...
[08:37] ---
    There's a dumbbell there, I guess?
[08:43] ---
    Do you know why humans have arms?
[08:47] ---
    It's so they can hold dumbbells.
[08:50] ---
    Do you know why humans have legs?
[08:54] ---
    It's so we can deadlift barbells.
[08:54] ---
    Nobody's asking,
[08:56] ---
    but he started talking on his own.
[08:56] ---
    Do you know why humans have heads—
[08:59] ---
    Why do I continue
    to be an emotional burden?
[09:02] ---
    And here comes the second one!
[09:04] ---
    At first I wasn't
    an emotional burden at all.
[09:09] ---
    But gradually, I started swaying between
    joy and sorrow with each of his moves.
[09:14] ---
    So if there's a reason why I continue
    to be an emotional burden...
[09:20] ---
    it would be because...
[09:23] ---
    the one I love is right there, I guess?
[09:28] ---
    What is with this useless flow of time?
[09:29] ---
    The emotional burden comes from love.
[09:34] ---
    I'm not good enough to be your partner?
[09:37] ---
    No way!
[09:40] ---
    I wanna go home.
[09:42] ---
    Please, can I somehow?
[09:44] ---
    Never!
[09:48] ---
    I got rejected!
SIGN    PSSSH
[09:51] ---
    It's this late already?
    I have to drink my protein.
[09:58] ---
    Everyone is in their own world.
[10:01] ---
    Providing nutrition to the muscles
    is great training in itself.
[10:06] ---
    Impressive.
[10:09] ---
    That is a noble undertaking.
[10:11] ---
    I'd like to follow suit.
[10:13] ---
    When did he...
[10:14] ---
    Oh, the Divine Visionary
    who bullied me the other day.
[10:19] ---
    He means this guy.
[10:22] ---
    What is a Divine Visionary doing here?
[10:25] ---
    You've caught my interest.
[10:29] ---
    Want to play a little game?
[10:32] ---
    You've got time before the next round.
[10:36] ---
    No way.
[10:37] ---
    I want to get some rest.
[10:39] ---
    He refused!
[10:40] ---
    He just sassed that Divine Visionary.
[10:44] ---
    You really are gonna go far.
[10:48] ---
    I'm the head
    of Magic Talent Administration.
[10:53] ---
    Anyone joining the Bureau of Magic
    always get adjudicated by me.
[10:59] ---
    Unless I acknowledge you, you may not
    be able to become a Divine Visionary.
[11:05] ---
    Oh, there's nothing we can do.
[11:08] ---
    I'm the head of Magic Talent,
    but there's nothing I can do.
[11:11] ---
    I'll do it.
[11:14] ---
    I'll do it.
[11:15] ---
    He's suddenly so interested!
[11:16] ---
    I'll do it.
[11:18] ---
    Well, I feel sorry for you
    to play a game for nothing.
[11:23] ---
    If you can beat me, I'll grant you
    a pass on this exam, no questions asked.
[11:28] ---
    Pass the exam? Good for you, Mash.
[11:31] ---
    By the way, what will we play?
[11:34] ---
    Oh, it's a simple game.
[11:39] ---
    "You look, you lose."
[11:41] ---
    "You look, you lose"?
[11:43] ---
    I couldn't ask for more.
[11:45] ---
    I accept your challenge.
[11:48] ---
    His fingers are moving so quickly
    it looks like a flower.
[11:57] ---
    Mash agreed to play "You look, you lose"
    against Kaldo,
[12:00] ---
    a Divine Visionary
    who suddenly appeared.
[12:12] ---
    A circle?
[12:13] ---
    Of course, it's a slight variation
    of "You look, you lose."
[12:17] ---
    There will be no rock-paper-scissors.
[12:19] ---
    Furthermore, I will point my finger first.
[12:22] ---
    After I count down from three,
    you win if you stayed in that circle
[12:25] ---
    and not face the way I'm pointing.
[12:29] ---
    With those rules, Mash would have
    overwhelming advantage.
[12:34] ---
    What's the catch?
SIGN    BRING IT ON
[12:37] ---
    Gotcha.
[12:39] ---
    We'll do three rounds.
[12:41] ---
    If you dodge in all three rounds, you win.
[12:44] ---
    'Kay.
[12:45] ---
    Well then, here goes.
[12:48] ---
    You look, you lose.
[12:51] ---
    Three.
[12:53] ---
    What? An attack from the ground!?
[12:54] ---
    Two.
[12:55] ---
    It wasn't an ordinary game after all!
[12:56] ---
    One.
[12:57] ---
    He's using magic to force him to look up.
[13:01] ---
    Zero.
[13:03] ---
    Close one.
[13:05] ---
    Oh, nice move.
[13:07] ---
    Let's keep going.
[13:09] ---
    You look, you lose.
[13:10] ---
    What? Two directions?
[13:12] ---
    Three.
[13:13] ---
    Now, he has to either look left or right...
[13:14] ---
    Two.
[13:15] ---
    ...or he can't dodge that!
[13:17] ---
    One.
[13:19] ---
    Zero.
[13:22] ---
    You can just manage stuff like this
    with your bare hands, huh?
[13:27] ---
    How quaint.
[13:29] ---
    How very quaint.
[13:32] ---
    Black flames from his sword...
[13:37] ---
    The black flame enchanting this sword keeps
    burning whatever it touches until it burns out.
[13:43] ---
    Which means, this makes it impossible
    to take the hit like you did earlier.
SIGN    HONK
[13:49] ---
    Scary.
[13:51] ---
    No, Mash! This is too dangerous!
    It's better if you stop!
[13:55] ---
    I wanna stop.
[13:56] ---
    Well, this is the last one. Here goes.
[13:59] ---
    You look, you lose.
[14:02] ---
    What? Three directions?
[14:04] ---
    He loses unless he looks down.
[14:10] ---
    Three.
[14:17] ---
    Two.
[14:22] ---
    ...close.
[14:23] ---
    One.
[14:24] ---
    The instant he looks down,
    a sword swings up from below.
[14:27] ---
    He can't look down like this!
[14:33] ---
    He scooped out the entire circle
    on the ground before jumping...
[14:36] ---
    ...to dodge that while still looking down!
[14:52] ---
    Oh, I looked right.
[14:56] ---
    I lost.
[14:58] ---
    No, we won't count that one.
[15:01] ---
    I'll say this challenge was a draw.
[15:05] ---
    Is that okay with you?
[15:07] ---
    Well, if you don't mind...
[15:09] ---
    But at your current level, it might be
    difficult to go up against Macaron.
[15:15] ---
    Sorry to have bothered you.
[15:21] ---
    Man, that sent a chill down my spine.
[15:23] ---
    What's wrong, Mash?
[15:25] ---
    Oh, I would have been in danger
    if he didn't hesitate for a moment.
[15:31] ---
    Besides...
[15:33] ---
    He didn't cast any spells.
[15:36] ---
    Mushroom Head.
[15:39] ---
    He tried to take the blow of my sword
    with his forehead at first.
[15:44] ---
    He's off the rails.
[15:46] ---
    What's the reason that he needs
    to be a Divine Visionary that badly?
[15:51] ---
    Everything is for naught if you die.
[15:55] ---
    But, if he were to be on our side...
[16:02] ---
    Come on up to our level.
[16:07] ---
    After a short break, the time has finally come.
[16:12] ---
    We will now begin the final exam!
[16:15] ---
    The final exam is a one-on-one battle!
[16:19] ---
    The rules are simple.
[16:20] ---
    You win if your opponent
    gives up or passes out.
[16:25] ---
    Let's start the first matchup!
[16:30] ---
    Adler dorm first-year.
[16:32] ---
    With seven gold coins,
    the most out of any candidate...
[16:38] ---
    Mash Burnedead!
[16:43] ---
    Opposing him is Orca dorm,
    who acquired five coins...
[16:48] ---
    Margarette Macaron!
[16:54] ---
    Go for it, Mash.
[16:57] ---
    For your future...
[16:59] ---
    and the future of your grandpa.
[17:04] ---
    Even in Easton's storied history,
    Margarette Macaron's talents are a rarity.
[17:12] ---
    This is your greatest crisis,
    Mash Burnedead.
[17:17] ---
    I'm terribly sorry, but you won't
    be able to go any further.
[17:22] ---
    You should fulfill your destiny
    of amusing me...
[17:27] ---
    Mash Burnedead.
[17:30] ---
    That's quite absurd.
[17:31] ---
    Now, for our first match...
[17:33] ---
    Oh, hold on a sec.
[17:37] ---
    I need to replenish calories
    before my workout.
[17:40] ---
    My, what a coincidence.
[17:42] ---
    Mind if I join you?
[17:49] ---
    Dip! Dip! Dip! Dip! Dip!
[17:51] ---
    Dip! Deep! Dip! Deep!
[17:54] ---
    Dip! Dip!
[17:54] ---
    If you put that much tartare sauce on it,
[17:57] ---
    you won't know
    what the fried shrimp tastes like.
[18:01] ---
    What are you talking about?
[18:04] ---
    I'm putting fried shrimp on my tartare sauce.
[18:08] ---
    Fried shrimp exists to eat tartare sauce
    in a more tasty way.
SIGN    HONK
[18:15] ---
    Those are the eyes of a madman.
[18:17] ---
    I sense a formidable opponent.
[18:19] ---
    Wicked.
[18:20] ---
    Based on my completely biased reasoning,
[18:22] ---
    the crazier someone is,
    the more powerful they are.
[18:26] ---
    That means this is a real badass.
[18:30] ---
    The reason why Orter chose Macaron
    is because of the certainty.
[18:36] ---
    He didn't do anything between
    the first attack and this tournament
[18:39] ---
    because he has faith
    in Macaron's abilities.
[18:44] ---
    Which means he believes that Macaron
    surely is able to finish Mash Burnedead.
[18:50] ---
    That's how obvious the difference
    in skill between them is.
[19:02] ---
    Well then, here goes.
[19:17] ---
    A-Amazing.
[19:19] ---
    What magical power...
[19:22] ---
    I feel ill.
[19:23] ---
    You okay?
[19:24] ---
    It's no surprise you're affected.
    There's that much magical power.
[19:29] ---
    This is the power said to be
    equal to Divine Visionaries.
[19:33] ---
    Try overcoming this, Mash Burnedead.
[19:40] ---
    Nalcos.
[19:42] ---
    What? That's just basic magic.
[19:44] ---
    What's going on?
    Mash can easily deal with...
[19:57] ---
    It's heavy like a bowling ball.
[20:01] ---
    What the... Mash can't return the serve!
[20:03] ---
    He'll hit the wall!
[20:06] ---
    Mash!
[20:07] ---
    Mash!
[20:12] ---
    Surely this isn't the end?
[20:20] ---
    He's gone.
[20:21] ---
    Where did he go?
[20:36] ---
    Spine Magic...
[20:38] ---
    Hell Fall!!
[20:45] ---
    Brutal.
[20:46] ---
    He slammed them down.
[20:48] ---
    That's gotta be game right there.
[20:51] ---
    One shot against Macaron.
[20:55] ---
    How did Mash escape that attack earlier?
[20:59] ---
    I thought he hit the wall.
[21:01] ---
    He was running backwards.
[21:05] ---
    Mash decided that he couldn't
    return the magic serve,
[21:09] ---
    and ran backwards faster than the spell
    to escape before he slammed against the wall.
[21:14] ---
    Wha? Freaky.
[21:16] ---
    But you know, all this about
    bowling and returning serves.
[21:20] ---
    The vocabulary just doesn't sound
    like a magic school.
[21:27] ---
    Oh well, whatever.
[21:31] ---
    Look!
[21:38] ---
    H-He's unhurt! How in the world...
[21:43] ---
    It's just beginning.
[21:45] ---
    I'm far from having enough enjoyment.
[21:49] ---
    Isn't that right...
[21:51] ---
    Mash Burnedead?
