[00:08] ---
    Mash was chosen as a player for Duelo,
    an aerial magic sport using brooms.

[00:23] ---
    However, he can't use magic,
    so he couldn't fly.

[00:28] ---
    I want to go home.
[00:30] ---
    Yeah, you should.
[02:02] ---
    What are you doing? Get flying already!
[02:05] ---
    Is this match rigged?
[02:07] ---
    Mash, you need to start flying soon.
[02:09] ---
    What's wrong, Mash?
[02:12] ---
    Hey, Mash.
[02:14] ---
    Oh, Captain.
[02:16] ---
    Are you glistening in the fire called life?
    Is your heart throbbing?
SIGN    LIFE?
[02:21] ---
    I don't get it.
[02:22] ---
    You swore that we would be number one!
[02:25] ---
    I didn't.
[02:26] ---
    Don't be complacent!
[02:28] ---
    I'm not.
[02:30] ---
    Mash! Remember the mighty bamboo!
[02:32] ---
    Bamboo?
[02:33] ---
    Bamboo can survive any climate!
    They're strong and supple!
[02:38] ---
    That's what you're lacking right now!
    And it’s bamboo!
[02:41] ---
    - Bamboo, bamboo, bamboo. Bamboo it!
    - This guy has to be high.
[02:46] ---
    Oh, right. I haven't told you
    the rules for Duelo yet.
[02:50] ---
    It's pretty simple.
[02:51] ---
    We fight over control of the ball midair.
    Pass it through that ring for a point.
SIGN    ADLER DORM
SIGN    LANG DORM
[02:57] ---
    Wait, they scored another point?
[03:00] ---
    Magic is forbidden.
[03:02] ---
    This sport is all about your broom technique.
[03:05] ---
    Bamboo that can't fly are just shoots!
[03:08] ---
    He doesn't think at all
    before he speaks.

[03:13] ---
    This goes without saying,
    but I put everything into Duelo.
[03:19] ---
    That's why I recruited you.
[03:24] ---
    I'm heading back out there.
[03:26] ---
    It's all up to you now.
[03:37] ---
    Lord Tom, last year's
    Duelo MVP of the year is...
[03:40] ---
    Lord Tom, the sportsman whose
    stuffiness actually works well is...
[03:44] ---
    Oops, sorry. That was an accident.
[03:49] ---
    Captain...
[03:53] ---
    An additional point for Lang dorm!
[03:55] ---
    They have a 40 point lead
    against Adler dorm!
[03:59] ---
    Are you okay?
[04:00] ---
    Sorry. I think I broke a bone.
[04:04] ---
    Wh-Where's your sense of sportsmanship?
[04:07] ---
    Huh?
[04:08] ---
    Sportsmanship is nonsense.
[04:11] ---
    All that matters is winning.
[04:15] ---
    Keep huddling, wusses!
[04:22] ---
    How pathetic.
[04:23] ---
    There isn't much time left.
[04:25] ---
    And they've got a huge lead.
[04:28] ---
    But Mash, I just want you to know...
[04:32] ---
    Winning isn't what matters!
[04:34] ---
    What matters is
    whether you gave it your all!
[04:41] ---
    Another point for Lang dorm!
[04:43] ---
    Will this lead be impossible to diminish?
[04:46] ---
    With two down, it's only natural we win.
[04:53] ---
    Mash...
[05:01] ---
    He flew!
[05:02] ---
    H-Hey! Look, he's stopped in midair!
[05:06] ---
    You're kidding me!
[05:07] ---
    He was able to fly?
SIGN    WSHCK WSHCK WSHCK
[05:13] ---
    He's sure kicking his legs a lot.
[05:17] ---
    Time for a thrashing.
[05:20] ---
    Hey, pass it here!
[05:22] ---
    S-Sure.
[05:25] ---
    Hey, he's got the ball.
[05:28] ---
    What's he gonna do from that distance?
[05:30] ---
    Is he joking?
[05:33] ---
    He can't even ride a broom.
    What makes him think...
[05:38] ---
    I'll take that from ya, you nobody!
[05:54] ---
    Adler dorm scores!
[05:55] ---
    What an amazing shot!
[05:57] ---
    They're still down 49 points,
    and time's nearly up!
[06:01] ---
    Wait! Look at that! The ball!
SIGN    BWING
[06:07] ---
    What!?
[06:17] ---
    What unnaturally strong fingers!
    That curve-ball was out of this world!
SIGN    WUB CATCH WUB CATCH WUB CATCH
[06:46] ---
    No way.
[06:48] ---
    What the...
[06:49] ---
    Freaky.
[06:50] ---
    But that score...
[06:53] ---
    It's undeniable.
[06:55] ---
    The winner of the first Duelo match
    for this season is Adler dorm!

[07:01] ---
    Not bad for looking like a fungus!
[07:04] ---
    Sorry for telling you to go home!
[07:05] ---
    Totes sorry for throwing garbage at you!
[07:06] ---
    Mash and the Adler dorm team
    scored a record-high

[07:11] ---
    and were given silver coins.
[07:15] ---
    What's with this shape?
[07:18] ---
    Wow, that was an amazing game!
[07:20] ---
    And you got a silver coin
    so soon after transferring here.
[07:23] ---
    Thanks, but I’m never doing that again.
[07:25] ---
    Hey, Mash!
[07:28] ---
    It's Lord Tom!
[07:29] ---
    Huh? What? What's going on?
SIGN    BWAAAAAAAH
[07:33] ---
    Thank you!
[07:34] ---
    You turned into one great bamboo!
[07:37] ---
    I don't really get along with this type.
    At all.

[07:37] ---
    You really grew there, bamboo!
    You overshot me, bamboo! Did you feel it?
[07:43] ---
    First-year student Mash,
[07:45] ---
    the key player of the game
    who broke the record for game score,

[07:50] ---
    said in his interview he credits his success
    to his upperclassman's exuberant encouragement.

[07:56] ---
    Quite a humble answer
    despite such a great record.

[08:00] ---
    The one from the entrance exams.
[08:06] ---
    He risked failing for a complete stranger.
[08:12] ---
    What naivete.
[08:17] ---
    He'll be next.
[08:23] ---
    And the next day.
[08:25] ---
    Mash, it's time for Duelo practice!
[08:28] ---
    Shoot for the stars! Even if you miss,
    you'll land among your dreams!
[08:32] ---
    Mash, I heard you have trouble studying,
    so let's study together!
[08:37] ---
    You swore to me
    that we'd take the top together!
[08:39] ---
    I didn't.
[08:40] ---
    I have Potions, Magic History,
    Enchantment, Divination, and...
[08:45] ---
    Way too much.
[08:46] ---
    Don't be complacent!
[08:47] ---
    We are bamboo. Bamboo!
[08:49] ---
    And you have to properly study
    Magical Creatures and Dark Arts as well.
[08:54] ---
    What's important is bamboo!
    You'll land among your dreams with bamboo!
[08:56] ---
    Finn, help me.
[09:00] ---
    Traitor.
[09:02] ---
    That head of yours is not
    a mushroom, but a bamboo!
[09:04] ---
    You seem to be having fun.
[09:08] ---
    Mind if I join?
SIGN    LANCE CROWN
[09:12] ---
    This guy...
[09:13] ---
    He has two marks.
    I've never seen him before.

[09:17] ---
    Could he be a first year?
[09:18] ---
    That's Lance Crown.
    He ranked first in the entrance exams.

[09:22] ---
    Seeing him up close, he's a total hottie.
[09:26] ---
    No, I can't!
    I've given my heart to someone else.

[09:31] ---
    No, it's not fun.
[09:33] ---
    I see. Then let's do something
    that is fun.
[09:37] ---
    Something fun?
[09:40] ---
    Hide and seek?
[09:41] ---
    Definitely not hide and seek!
[09:44] ---
    This bottle is a special magical tool.
[09:48] ---
    It's quite ancient.
[09:56] ---
    But as you can see,
    it's capable of trapping people.
[09:58] ---
    - What's this?
    - What in the world?
[10:00] ---
    Stuck in a small space with two guys
    has compliance issues!
[10:04] ---
    If you want it back,
    come to the forest next to the owl hut.
[10:09] ---
    I'll be waiting.
[10:23] ---
    What's this about?
[10:24] ---
    Call it a bet.
[10:25] ---
    You're after them too, aren't you?
    These coins?
[10:29] ---
    A silver coin?
    And he's got two of them!
[10:32] ---
    I thought only a select number
    of upperclassmen had them!
[10:36] ---
    And the lines on your mark reveal
    the amount of magic power you currently have.
[10:42] ---
    This guy is really bad news!
[10:48] ---
    Single-line magic users.
[10:51] ---
    A term used to specify those
    with just one mark on their face.

[10:55] ---
    The majority of people in this world
    are single-line magic users.

[11:00] ---
    But there are rare exceptions
    with multiple marks.

[11:06] ---
    Double-line magic users.
[11:08] ---
    They exist in this realm
    at a rate of one in 100,000.

[11:13] ---
    They're considered chosen
    by magic itself.

[11:16] ---
    We'll bet each other's silver coin in a match.
[11:20] ---
    We'll go until the loser
    can no longer continue or gives up.
[11:24] ---
    Any other duel involving magic
    is considered taboo in this school.
[11:29] ---
    Not that you have
    any choice but to accept.
[11:32] ---
    Not as long as I hold this, that is.
[11:37] ---
    And judging by your personality, the fact that
    I even possess this plays to my favor.
[11:44] ---
    Not that I need the handicap.
    It's easy enough to tell who would win.
[11:49] ---
    During the entrance exams,
    you were too soft.
[11:53] ---
    You prioritized someone else
    over your own goals.
[11:58] ---
    I could never lose
    against a slacker like that.
[12:03] ---
    Don't do it, Mash! He's dangerous!
[12:03] ---
    It's over. My life is going to end!
[12:05] ---
    That's right!
    I've got a bad feeling about him!
[12:09] ---
    What's wrong? Too scared to respond?
[12:12] ---
    No. Enough of that.
    Hurry up and get on with it.
[12:18] ---
    At least you've got spirit.
[12:23] ---
    But first, let's make things a bit easier.
[12:28] ---
    Graviole.
[12:35] ---
    I wonder if Mash is doing okay.
[12:39] ---
    I'm worried.
[12:41] ---
    What?
[12:41] ---
    No, I'm talking about my profits.
[12:45] ---
    I-I see.
[12:51] ---
    Wh-Wha...
[12:53] ---
    What the hell is this?
[13:02] ---
    This makes things easier.
[13:06] ---
    Flashy performances...
[13:09] ---
    are unnecessary!
[13:11] ---
    Trying to win against me without magic?
[13:14] ---
    Graviole.
[13:18] ---
    Mash!
[13:20] ---
    Are you being serious?
[13:22] ---
    You're acting so half-heartedly.
[13:24] ---
    Do you have any aspirations at all?
    Of course you don't.
[13:29] ---
    And yet, you possess a silver coin.
[13:34] ---
    I don't need anyone
    encroaching on my playing field.
[13:39] ---
    I'll be the last one standing. Nobody else.
[13:43] ---
    Scum like you can spend your lives
    rolling across the ground.
[13:51] ---
    Trying to stand is futile.
[13:53] ---
    No human can withstand this gravity.
[14:00] ---
    I can do enough without standing.
[14:08] ---
    The earth split?
[14:10] ---
    Roots?
[14:15] ---
    That's ridiculous.
[14:18] ---
    Huh?
[14:20] ---
    Do you actually like
    rolling on the ground, too?
[14:31] ---
    Graviole!
[14:39] ---
    He's faster than earlier!
[14:50] ---
    What's this?
[14:57] ---
    L-L-Lolicon. He's a lolicon.
SIGN    PANIC PANIC
[15:04] ---
    I-I have to call the police.
    He's a criminal.
[15:07] ---
    I'm not.
[15:09] ---
    So, you're aiming to be one?
[15:10] ---
    I said I'm not.
[15:13] ---
    I don't have a Lolita complex.
[15:17] ---
    I have a sister complex.
[15:21] ---
    And that makes it better?
[15:22] ---
    Give it back.
[15:23] ---
    Oh. Okay.
[15:27] ---
    Let me ask you, Mushroom Head.
[15:29] ---
    What's the most precious thing
    in this world?
[15:33] ---
    Huh? You're putting me on the spot here.
[15:37] ---
    - Cream pu—
    - Wrong.
[15:40] ---
    - Human life.
    - Wrong.
[15:43] ---
    - Love.
    - Wrong.
[15:44] ---
    - Freedom.
    - Wrong.
[15:48] ---
    - Cream pu—
    - Wrong!
[15:49] ---
    Wrong, wrong!
[15:51] ---
    Why can't you answer immediately?
[15:53] ---
    One plus one is two.
    Yellow and blue makes green.
[15:56] ---
    The answers are obvious.
[15:59] ---
    So, what is the most precious thing
    in this world?
[16:03] ---
    My little sister.
[16:07] ---
    Everyone's got different priorities,
    don't they?
[16:11] ---
    I am completely disgusted.
[16:13] ---
    This world is full of idiots.
[16:17] ---
    Creepy.
[16:25] ---
    I'm going to drop this bottle off the cliff.
[16:28] ---
    Then, I'll speed up its fall with my magic.
[16:31] ---
    What!?
[16:32] ---
    You'll try to grab the bottle
    to save your friends.
[16:37] ---
    And that's when I'll attack you. Sorry.
[16:43] ---
    I can become endlessly demonic
    for my little sister's sake.

[16:48] ---
    Endlessly.
[16:49] ---
    Big brother!
[16:51] ---
    You got in another fight, didn't you?
[16:53] ---
    I didn't.
[16:54] ---
    That's definitely a lie!
[16:55] ---
    Here. Sit down so I can heal you.
[17:00] ---
    So why'd you get into a fight?
[17:02] ---
    I tripped and had a nasty fall.
[17:03] ---
    See, a lie!
[17:05] ---
    You're such a bad liar!
[17:07] ---
    I bet you're not even trying!
[17:10] ---
    I am.
[17:13] ---
    I heard you saved a kid
    who was being bullied.
[17:19] ---
    That's why they took note of you,
    and you come back injured like this, right?
[17:25] ---
    Geez.
[17:27] ---
    But I love how you're clumsy
    but kind like that.
[17:36] ---
    I see.
[17:38] ---
    Geez, stop moving! I can't heal you!
[17:43] ---
    Sorry.
[17:46] ---
    Anna. Anna!
[17:55] ---
    Anna.
[17:57] ---
    Apparently it's an incurable disease that
    will strip her of her mark and magical power.
[18:01] ---
    The doctor says she has five years at best.
[18:05] ---
    Five years.
[18:07] ---
    If she loses her magic, we'll have to
    hand her over to the government.
[18:12] ---
    But if we do that, Anna will...
[18:15] ---
    I'm afraid we'll have no choice.
[18:17] ---
    Oh, why was a child like this
    born from our blood.
[18:22] ---
    This is for your sake as well, Lance.
[18:26] ---
    No way. How can I accept
    something so cruel?
[18:31] ---
    My little sister didn't do anything!
[18:35] ---
    Don't touch me!
    You guys aren't our parents anymore!
[18:40] ---
    Anna. Anna, I'll make sure...
[18:44] ---
    The Bureau of Magic
    made this rotten system.
[18:49] ---
    I'll become a Divine Visionary
    and make sure to save you!
[18:58] ---
    For your sake, Anna, I'll become...
[19:06] ---
    Graviole!
[19:10] ---
    What will you do, Mushroom Head?
[19:20] ---
    Hamstring Magic.
[19:22] ---
    Hamstring Magic?
    I've never heard of any spells like that!

[19:27] ---
    Besides, he's in...
[19:30] ---
    Big Bang Dash.
[19:34] ---
    ...starting position?
[19:37] ---
    The choice of losing,
    and the choice of not rescuing.
[19:41] ---
    Neither exist for me.
[19:55] ---
    Did he really run down the cliff, catch the bottle,
    and come back up in this one instant?

[20:00] ---
    Unbelievable. Is he using
    physical enhancement magic?

[20:05] ---
    No, I can't falter now.
[20:07] ---
    I need to help my little sister.
[20:09] ---
    Let's stop this.
[20:12] ---
    You don't seem like a bad guy.
[20:16] ---
    I don't think we should be fighting.
[20:21] ---
    This bottle was empty. It’s fake.
[20:34] ---
    And we're done.
[20:36] ---
    Why?
[20:38] ---
    If you keep going,
    you might win silver coins!
[20:42] ---
    Are you screwing with me?
[20:43] ---
    No, not really.
[20:46] ---
    Then why...
[20:49] ---
    I guess...
[20:51] ---
    I'm too clumsy to make
    rational decisions about everything.
[20:57] ---
    But I love how you're clumsy
    but kind like that.

[21:10] ---
    What a wet blanket.
    I'm heading back.
[21:13] ---
    Just like you said,
    we'll stop the fight here.
[21:19] ---
    But I did make a bet with you.
[21:23] ---
    Take it.
[21:31] ---
    If we fought for real,
    I wonder what would've happened?
[21:36] ---
    Thank you, Mash.
[21:39] ---
    I was so scared!
[21:41] ---
    I had faith in you
    that you could pull it off!
[21:43] ---
    Mash, to be modest,
    I want you to marry me!
[21:47] ---
    What kind of house would you like?
    Of course, the roof will be...
[21:48] ---
    Bamboo it! This is indeed bamboo!
[21:53] ---
    In the end, Lance was a pretty good guy.
[21:57] ---
    And Mash had a thought.
[22:00] ---
    It would’ve been better to open the bottle
    after returning to the academy.
