[00:00] ---
    Let's make a deal, Mushroom Head.
[00:02] ---
    Do what I ask, and I'll let you
    and the old geezer slide.
[00:07] ---
    A deal?
[00:08] ---
    Once a year in this country,
[00:10] ---
    one exceptional student
    is revered as one of God's chosen.
[00:14] ---
    It's called the "Divine Visionary."
[00:17] ---
    Enroll in a magic school
    and be chosen as one.
[00:21] ---
    Simply put, if you're selected,
    it means God has accepted you.
[00:26] ---
    Which means, society will accept you.
[00:29] ---
    I just want the fortune and prestige
    that comes with it.
[00:33] ---
    I'll back you up, of course.
[00:35] ---
    Don't listen to him, Mash!
[00:37] ---
    Those are the words of someone
    who was an enemy until moments ago!
[00:40] ---
    It's up to you
    if you want to be skeptical or not.
[00:43] ---
    But if you refuse, we’ll hunt you down
    for the rest of your life.
[00:48] ---
    If I'm after you,
    the whole country will be, too.
[00:51] ---
    You'll be okay because you're tough.
    But what about the old man?
[00:56] ---
    A life where you can never feel at ease,
    and unable to set foot in a city.
[01:01] ---
    Well, the choice is yours.
[01:04] ---
    Spend the rest of your life
    being hunted down,
[01:07] ---
    or brace yourself to die
    and try turning the tables?
[01:14] ---
    - You got a deal.
    - Are you sane? It's a magic school!
[01:17] ---
    I'll be fine, Pops. My motivation
    is stronger than anyone else.
[01:21] ---
    This isn't about motivation!
[01:24] ---
    Besides...
[01:25] ---
    I want us to be able
    to live in peace again.
[01:28] ---
    You're such a good boy.
[01:30] ---
    My son!
[01:30] ---
    MY SON
[01:34] ---
    Living in peace with Pops.
[01:37] ---
    If it's a world that won't allow
    something as natural as that...
[01:48] ---
    Then I've got no choice but to crush it.
[01:51] ---
    With my fist.
[03:26] ---
    Oh, a letter from Mash has arrived.
[03:30] ---
    Seriously? I didn't know he could do something
    praiseworthy like writing letters.
[03:35] ---
    Pops, are you doing well? If you're not,
    you should eat cream puffs.

[03:41] ---
    Th-The way he starts the letter...
[03:45] ---
    So, that strange middle-aged guy and I...
[03:47] ---
    I'm Brad Coleman!
[03:49] ---
    ...made a deal, and I took the entrance exam
    for Easton Magic Academy.

[03:55] ---
    This is the next test!
[03:57] ---
    Hey, the ground again is...
[04:06] ---
    In the next test, you will solve this maze.
[04:09] ---
    Of course, this is no ordinary maze.
[04:11] ---
    There are various traps set within.
[04:15] ---
    You have 30 minutes!
[04:17] ---
    Reach the goal by the time limit,
    and you pass!
[04:20] ---
    Now, begin!
[04:24] ---
    So I have to get to the goal area?
[04:26] ---
    Sounds pretty easy.
[04:28] ---
    Excuse me!
[04:30] ---
    Can I tag along with you?
[04:34] ---
    Why?
[04:34] ---
    Huh? Um...
[04:37] ---
    I think it'd be more efficient
    if we worked together.
[04:42] ---
    Makes sense.
[04:44] ---
    Th-Thank you very much!
[04:47] ---
    Levios Cuffus!
[04:52] ---
    What are these?
[04:54] ---
    There’s a certain reason
    I have to keep you away from the goal.
[04:58] ---
    What reason?
[04:59] ---
    I-I don't want to tell you,
    that's why it's a certain reason!
[05:04] ---
    So I've been deceived?
[05:05] ---
    I'm sorry...
[05:08] ---
    but I have my own certain reason, too.
[05:12] ---
    Later.
[05:15] ---
    STARE...
[05:17] ---
    Th-This is bad!
    I have to chase and stop him.
[05:21] ---
    Four legs in the morning.
[05:27] ---
    Two legs in the afternoon,
    and three legs at night.
[05:32] ---
    What is this creature?
[05:35] ---
    Oh no. My knees gave out.
[05:38] ---
    Oh, this sucks. I'm panicking
    and I can't think straight!

[05:42] ---
    Time's up. Thou shalt be punished.
[05:49] ---
    Help...
[05:54] ---
    Such a creature...
[05:56] ---
    can't possibly exist.
[06:03] ---
    Wh-Why did you bother
    to come back and save me?
[06:08] ---
    Well...
[06:10] ---
    If your reason was similar to mine,
    I'd kinda feel sorry for you.
[06:17] ---
    But it looks like
    we won't make it in time from here.
[06:22] ---
    How do you think
    I came here in an instant?
[06:31] ---
    Time is almost up.
[06:33] ---
    Multiple traps
    and the guardian of the labyrinth...

[06:35] ---
    And the student I recruited to stop him.
[06:38] ---
    Since I put in this much effort,
    I'm sure he...

[06:42] ---
    Hey, what’s with that loud noise?
[06:44] ---
    Sounds like something is breaking!
[06:46] ---
    Th-There's no way.
[06:48] ---
    These walls are one meter thick
    and are impervious to all magic.

[06:54] ---
    The walls!
[07:01] ---
    H-He trudged straight outta there!
[07:07] ---
    And so I got in without any hitches.
[07:10] ---
    Of course I knew about that, Mash.
[07:15] ---
    Because we were watching you
    the whole time up close.
[07:21] ---
    Professor. I opened it.
[07:26] ---
    Why you little, that's not...
    That's not it at all, damn it!
[07:31] ---
    Classes in magic school are really fun,
    and I made a wonderful friend.

[07:37] ---
    The upperclassmen are also really good
    to my inexperienced self.

[07:41] ---
    That sounds fishy.
[07:46] ---
    I-It was me.
[07:50] ---
    The one who ruined your textbooks...
    It was me.
[07:55] ---
    I was ordered to.
[07:57] ---
    I was too scared to disobey.
[07:59] ---
    I'm so very sorry. Sorry.
[08:03] ---
    If only you'd honestly
    apologized to me like that...
[08:08] ---
    Oh, by the way, I'm about
    to dine with the vice principal.
[08:12] ---
    Care to join us, Mash?
[08:14] ---
    You might never get a chance like this again.
[08:18] ---
    Especially if you keep company
    with someone who only apologizes, like him.
[08:27] ---
    You're the one who should apologize.
[08:31] ---
    What part of that guy is a good upperclassman?
    You beat him to a pulp!
[08:33] ---
    DAWN
[08:35] ---
    You were doing stuff like that
    when we weren't watching!?
[08:39] ---
    ...operates!
[08:39] ---
    SMASSSH
[08:41] ---
    The vice principal.
[08:43] ---
    Not him too.
[08:45] ---
    He beat up a teacher, too!?
[08:48] ---
    What a dangerous school life!
[08:50] ---
    SHUK SHUK SHUK SHUK SHUK
[08:51] ---
    No!
[08:58] ---
    I was also chosen as a player for Duelo,
    a popular sport in the Magic Realm.

[09:10] ---
    Oops, sorry. That was an accident.
[09:16] ---
    Captain...
[09:18] ---
    Are you okay?
[09:19] ---
    Sorry. I think I broke a bone.
[09:23] ---
    There isn't much time left.
[09:24] ---
    And they've got a huge lead.
[09:27] ---
    But Mash, I just want you to know...
[09:31] ---
    Winning isn't what matters!
[09:33] ---
    What matters is
    whether you gave it your all!
[09:40] ---
    Mash...
[09:49] ---
    He flew!
[09:50] ---
    H-Hey! Look, he's stopped in midair!
[09:53] ---
    You're kidding me!
[09:54] ---
    He was able to fly?
[09:57] ---
    WSHCK WSHCK WSHCK
[10:00] ---
    He's sure kicking his legs a lot.
[10:05] ---
    He can't even ride a broom.
    What makes him think...
[10:10] ---
    I'll take that from ya, you nobody!
[10:26] ---
    Adler dorm scores!
[10:27] ---
    What an amazing shot!
[10:29] ---
    They're still down 49 points,
    and time's nearly up!
[10:33] ---
    Wait! Look at that! The ball!
[10:36] ---
    BWING
[10:39] ---
    What!?
[10:49] ---
    What unnaturally strong fingers!
    That curve-ball was out of this world!
[11:14] ---
    WUB CATCH WUB CATCH WUB CATCH
[11:19] ---
    We were somehow able to win the match.
[11:25] ---
    I see.
[11:31] ---
    I was having a fun school life,
[11:34] ---
    but my friends were captured
    and I had to go save them.

[11:38] ---
    Huh? What now?
[11:41] ---
    At least you've got spirit.
[11:46] ---
    Graviole.
[11:51] ---
    Wh-Wha...
[11:53] ---
    What the hell is this?
[11:56] ---
    So it was that kid's fault!
[12:02] ---
    Hamstring Magic.
[12:04] ---
    Hamstring Magic?
    I've never heard of any spells like that!

[12:09] ---
    Besides, he's in...
[12:13] ---
    Big Bang Dash.
[12:16] ---
    ...starting position?
[12:19] ---
    The choice of losing,
    and the choice of not rescuing.
[12:24] ---
    Neither exist for me.
[12:38] ---
    Did he really run down the cliff, catch the bottle,
    and come back up in this one instant?

[12:43] ---
    Unbelievable. Is he using
    physical enhancement magic?

[12:47] ---
    No, I can't falter now.
[12:50] ---
    I need to help my little sister.
[12:52] ---
    Let's stop this.
[12:55] ---
    You don't seem like a bad guy.
[12:59] ---
    I don't think we should be fighting.
[13:03] ---
    This bottle was empty. It’s fake.
[13:10] ---
    And we're done.
[13:13] ---
    Why?
[13:14] ---
    If you keep going,
    you might win silver coins!
[13:18] ---
    Are you screwing with me?
[13:20] ---
    No, not really.
[13:22] ---
    Then why...
[13:26] ---
    I guess...
[13:27] ---
    I'm too clumsy to make
    rational decisions about everything.
[13:35] ---
    What a wet blanket.
    I'm heading back.
[13:38] ---
    Just like you said,
    we'll stop the fight here.
[13:44] ---
    But I did make a bet with you.
[13:48] ---
    Take it.
[13:53] ---
    I initially thought he was a bad guy,
    but he just had a sister-complex.

[13:56] ---
    That makes absolutely no sense!
[13:58] ---
    You cut out too much of the story, Mash!
[14:01] ---
    And I made a new friend
    when we had class outside in the forest.

[14:05] ---
    Wait, it’s you! The Mushroom Head
    people keep talking about!
[14:10] ---
    You look like a side character to me.
[14:13] ---
    Who is this guy?
[14:14] ---
    As of today, you’re a side character
    in both name and reality!
[14:18] ---
    Because yours truly is—
[14:20] ---
    Mash!
[14:25] ---
    Outdoor class is a bit scary.
[14:28] ---
    I'm not going to push myself too hard.
    So Mash, please take care out there, okay?
[14:33] ---
    Thanks.
[14:34] ---
    I'll kill 'im!
[14:34] ---
    CLENCH
[14:37] ---
    I friggin' hate guys
    who get attention from women!
[14:41] ---
    I'll kill you! I'll triple kill ya!
[14:44] ---
    OOOOOOOOOO
[14:44] ---
    Um, well, uh...
    Is this kid really your friend, Mash?
[14:48] ---
    BAM
[14:49] ---
    Pops, just wait for it.
[14:51] ---
    The letter answered back at me?
[14:53] ---
    Do you have some kind of circumstance?
    I'll lend an ear.
[14:57] ---
    Actually, there’s a certain boy
    threatening me.
[15:01] ---
    A certain boy?
[15:03] ---
    A second-year by the name of Silva.
[15:05] ---
    He's someone I don't hear
    many good things about.
[15:09] ---
    He's trying to take advantage
    of magic only I can use.
[15:12] ---
    He's been stalking me for all this time.
[15:15] ---
    I don't know what I should do.
[15:19] ---
    I'm willing to give you guys one chance.
[15:22] ---
    Huh?
[15:23] ---
    A chance?
[15:24] ---
    Endure five hits from my magic,
    and I'll leave that girl alone.
[15:31] ---
    That condition is insane!
[15:33] ---
    All right.
[15:37] ---
    You got a deal.
[15:41] ---
    Iron Fist.
[15:46] ---
    This might be bad.
[15:49] ---
    Iron Fist!
[15:52] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[15:54] ---
    Three!
[15:55] ---
    Four!
[15:57] ---
    Five!
[15:58] ---
    Six!
[15:59] ---
    Seven!
[16:01] ---
    Eight!
[16:02] ---
    Nine!
[16:09] ---
    Bet I look like an idiot.
[16:11] ---
    Even I get it.
[16:14] ---
    It all was too good to be true.
[16:17] ---
    But because I'm an idiot...
[16:21] ---
    I can't fully doubt anything.
[16:24] ---
    Like that girl's tears.
[16:27] ---
    What an idiot.
[16:29] ---
    I know you're under my charm spell,
[16:32] ---
    but I didn't think
    you'd be this desperate.
[16:34] ---
    Come on, don't say that.
[16:37] ---
    This guy is truly an idiot.
[16:40] ---
    Basically, he's having a delusion!
[16:43] ---
    That's so cheesy.
[16:45] ---
    I hate stuffy guys like you.
[16:50] ---
    But, well, seeing you like that
    totally cracks me up.
[16:55] ---
    Dissed by the girl
    you sacrificed yourself to protect!
[16:59] ---
    This guy is the sorriest excuse for a man!
[17:05] ---
    Huh?
[17:10] ---
    You guys have gone far enough.
[17:16] ---
    Bring it on.
[17:20] ---
    Come at me, scumbag.
[17:38] ---
    You think you can win against me?
[17:40] ---
    I earned two gold coins
    during my first year!
[17:45] ---
    My base power
    is way stronger than you guys!
[17:48] ---
    And you're in high spirits,
    saying you'll kill me?
[17:53] ---
    Go ahead and try, you lowlife!
[17:58] ---
    Come on! Come on!
    Where'd that energy go?
[18:02] ---
    Go on and kill me!
[18:20] ---
    Triceps Magic...
[18:22] ---
    Ballista Knuckle.
[18:24] ---
    Triceps Magic, huh?
[18:26] ---
    I've never heard that before.
[18:28] ---
    Are you serious?
[18:32] ---
    Don't make me say it again.
[18:34] ---
    Me and you are on...
[18:38] ---
    differ—
[18:44] ---
    Huh?
[18:50] ---
    Wha?
[18:54] ---
    I-I earned two coins last year
    as a first-year.
[19:03] ---
    My magic is top-tier
    among the second-years.
[19:07] ---
    I have the skill!
[19:31] ---
    Shroom Head.
[19:33] ---
    Sorry for getting you
    caught up in all that.
[19:40] ---
    Thanks, man.
[19:43] ---
    That's not like you.
[19:45] ---
    Yeah? Shut your damn mouth,
    or I'll kill you for real!
[19:48] ---
    See?
[19:49] ---
    It said, "See?"
    The letter just told me, "See?"
[19:52] ---
    Is it okay to say he's a friend?
[19:54] ---
    I'll kill you!
[19:55] ---
    You were targeted, Mash.
[19:57] ---
    I overheard something earlier.
[19:59] ---
    Lang is hunting for coins,
    and they're mainly targeting Adler.
[20:04] ---
    That second-year named Silva must have
    picked a fight with you because of that.
[20:08] ---
    Lang...
[20:09] ---
    Lang dorm is made up
    of the upper crust and their cronies.
[20:14] ---
    They're so-called moralists.
    They value birthright above all else.
[20:18] ---
    They'll do anything they can
    to prevent us nobodies
[20:22] ---
    from getting into the Bureau of Magic.
[20:28] ---
    Looks like it's starting.
[20:32] ---
    The great war for the coins
    against Lang's elite, the Magia Lupus!
[20:38] ---
    MAGIA LUPUS
[20:43] ---
    And for some reason, I got lost at school.
[20:46] ---
    The sudden turn of events is jarring!
[20:48] ---
    Should I push or pull to open this door?
[20:52] ---
    Hmm.
[20:53] ---
    I always get it wrong.
[20:56] ---
    Do I push or pull? Hmm...
[21:01] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[21:05] ---
    The Divine Visionary should be me.
[21:09] ---
    Not some riffraff from Adler.
[21:13] ---
    Right...
[21:15] ---
    Mother?
[21:17] ---
    A world free of impurities.
[21:20] ---
    It will be my—
[21:22] ---
    Um...
[21:25] ---
    I couldn't figure out
    whether to push or pull this door open.
[21:27] ---
    Sorry.
[21:29] ---
    Also, you know
    that's a doll you're talking to?
[21:35] ---
    Thank you
    for bringing that to my attention.
[21:38] ---
    I ended up in a mysterious place.
[21:41] ---
    And there were
    some mysterious people there.

[21:45] ---
    Well, I'll write another letter later, Pops.
[21:47] ---
    Wait, this is where it ends!?
[21:49] ---
    I'm too worried about what happens next!
[23:23] ---
    Thus, it is we, the superior beings,
    who prosper.
[23:27] ---
    It doesn't matter how strong you are.
    I'm not gonna lose.
[23:31] ---
    My gravity magic can...
[23:34] ---
    You're quite menacing, though.
