[00:22] GuardA
    Hey, you two. This area is off-limi—
[00:39] GuardB
    H-Huh?
[00:41] GuardA
    Did I just imagine that?
[00:45] Regis
    It's laughable.
[00:46] Regis
    The intel we received said this
    was a crime committed by a psycho,
[00:52] Regis
    but they expect anyone
    to believe a mere human did this?
[00:56] Regis
    What a pathetic attempt at a spin.
[00:58] Seira
    Who's behind it, then?
[01:04] Regis
    I've heard that, among humans,
[01:06] Regis
    there are some heretics
    who seek superhuman power.
[01:10] Regis
    We must not allow
    it to fall into their hands.
[01:14] Regis
    No mere human is capable of handling it.
[01:18] Regis
    We must take care of this
    matter in our own way.
SIGN    A Reason to Fight
[03:03] Girl1
    Good morning.
[03:04] M-21
    Morning.
[03:06] Girl2
    He's so hot!
[03:21] Kase
    So then...
[03:22] Tashiro
    Barely made it!
[03:24] Kase
    You should really get up earlier.
[03:28] Tashiro
    Well, maybe if you'd woken me up...
[03:39] M-21
    You'd better hurry.
    Classes have already started.
[03:52] M-21
    What was that?
[03:55] M-21
    They...
[03:57] Regis
    Show us the way.
[03:59] M-21
    Huh?
[04:00] Regis
    We want to see the person in charge here.
[04:05] Franken
    These two are...
[04:09] Franken
    What are people like them doing here?
[04:15] Franken
    Thank you, M-21. You can go now.
[04:26] Franken
    First, let's talk about—
[04:28] Regis
    Are you in charge of this academia?
[04:31] Franken
    They don't know who I am?
[04:34] Franken
    I am. Pleasure to meet you.
[04:36] Regis
    We've been told that in this country,
    people like us attend these "schools,"
[04:42] Regis
    and I've heard that this one
    is the best in the area.
[04:45] Franken
    It makes me happy to hear you say that.
[04:52] Franken
    This ability... It's the same as Master's.
[04:55] Franken
    So these two really are...
[04:58] Regis
    We've just transferred here.
[05:01] Regis
    We request the relevant arrangements.
[05:03] Franken
    Do they think I'm an ordinary human?
[05:06] Franken
    If so...
[05:09] Franken
    Very well. I will make
    the arrangements at once.
[05:13] Regis
    Please do.
[05:14] Franken
    That said, do you mind
    if I make a business call first?
SIGN    Sender: Frankenstein
    You have one new message
[05:28] Pedro
    We have two new students!
[05:31] Pedro
    Introduce yourselves, one at a time!
[05:33] Regis
    Regis K. Landegre.
[05:36] Seira
    Seira J. Loyard.
[05:40] GirlC
    He's kinda hot, isn't he?!
[05:42] Tashiro
    Again?
[05:43] Tashiro
    What's with all the foreigners
    transferring to our class?
[05:47] Tashiro
    Right, Manabu?
[05:49] Pedro
    They're not used to life in Japan yet, so...
[05:53] Pedro
    Tashiro! You take care of them!
[05:56] Tashiro
    Me again?!
[06:01] Tashiro
    Okay, fine! I'll do it!
[06:04] Tashiro
    Just when Rai was starting
    to get used to this place...
[06:07] Tashiro
    Right?
[06:14] Regis
    Do you feel it too, Seira?
[06:16] Regis
    I've never encountered a human
    with an aura like this before.
[06:22] Regis
    Just who is he?
[06:26] Tashiro
    This is the cafeteria.
[06:28] Girl
    Those two are the new students?
[06:29] Tashiro
    C'mon, don't be shy! Eat up!
[06:31] Tashiro
    I mean, Manabu's
    the one who's paying, but...
[06:34] Tashiro
    Jeez, Rai, ramen again?
[06:36] Tashiro
    You really like that stuff, huh?
[06:39] Tashiro
    Oh, also, do you know how to use chopsticks?
[06:43] Regis
    Child's play.
[06:54] Tashiro
    Hey, I guess you can.
[07:03] Regis
    What is this?
[07:05] Regis
    What is this godliness I sense in him?
[07:10] Regis
    And why isn't he eating his meal?
[07:14] Tashiro
    You're waiting for it to multiply again?
[07:17] Tashiro
    Cut that out. You're killing my appetite.
[07:33] Tashiro
    Hey, Rai, you free after school today?
[07:37] Tashiro
    We're gonna play Cupid!
[07:51] M-21
    I heard you transferred those two
    into your master's class.
[07:56] Franken
    Correct.
[07:57] M-21
    You sure that's wise?
[07:59] Franken
    It was my master's decision.
[08:01] Franken
    We must first find out what they are after.
[08:03] Franken
    We cannot be careless until we know that.
[08:06] M-21
    So they really aren't just ordinary kids.
[08:10] M-21
    Something felt strange.
[08:12] M-21
    It felt the same as when I first met you two.
[08:15] M-21
    Who are they? You know, don't you?
[08:21] M-21
    Noblesse...
[08:23] M-21
    Is that what they are?
[08:28] M-21
    The Union was looking for them.
[08:30] M-21
    Those of us at the bottom of the food chain
    weren't informed of the details,
[08:34] M-21
    but we knew they possessed immense power
[08:37] M-21
    far surpassing the Union's
    scientific capabilities.
[08:42] M-21
    Am I wrong?
[08:44] Franken
    I'm not sure where to begin.
[08:48] Franken
    Long ago, before science and civilization
    had progressed as they have today,
[08:54] Franken
    humans were utterly powerless.
[08:56] Franken
    All they could do was live in constant
    fear of animals and nature.
[09:02] Franken
    But that was when the humans met them.
[09:05] M-21
    Them?
[09:08] Franken
    Beings with immense power
    that surpassed all the things they feared.
[09:14] Franken
    Thus, they began to rely on these beings,
[09:16] Franken
    and to build their settlements around them.
[09:20] Franken
    When in danger, they sought their aid,
[09:23] Franken
    and these beings did not refuse them.
[09:25] M-21
    Why?
[09:27] Franken
    Humans were just that powerless.
[09:31] Franken
    They must have realized that the humans
    were not worthy of fear or contempt.
[09:38] Franken
    They are incapable of abandoning
    anyone weaker than they are.
[09:43] Franken
    As they see it, that is both the pride
    and the duty of those who have power.
[09:49] Franken
    The humans showed both respect for
    and awe of their power.
[09:53] Franken
    They feared them as their leaders
    and soon began to call them...
[09:58] Franken
    "nobles."
[10:00] M-21
    And that's what those two are?
[10:03] Franken
    Nobles regard humans
    as beings they must protect.
[10:07] Franken
    That must be why they
    didn't get violent with me,
[10:10] Franken
    having mistaken me for an ordinary human.
[10:14] M-21
    So humans are weak and need protection, huh?
[10:16] M-21
    And these two think they need
    to use some weird power to rule them?
[10:20] M-21
    That won't cut it with me.
[10:21] Franken
    I am merely saying that there are
    some who think that way.
[10:27] M-21
    And are these so-called nobles the "Noblesse"?
[10:32] M-21
    That's what you guys are, too, isn't it?
[10:35] Franken
    One might say you are both
    correct and incorrect.
[10:44] Kase
    What the heck, man?
[10:46] Tashiro
    I'm sitting here.
[10:47] Kase
    Jeez...
[10:48] Tashiro
    You sit over there!
[10:50] Kase
    Why? This seat's free!
[10:52] Tashiro
    Don't be shy!
[10:53] Kase
    I don't know what you're talking about!
[10:56] Tashiro
    Welcome home, Director!
[10:58] Kase
    Sorry to intrude.
[10:59] Tashiro
    Hey, it's the guard dude!
[11:01] Tashiro
    Why's he here?
[11:03] Franken
    He's living here while he works for me.
[11:16] Franken
    I had no idea you were all here to visit.
[11:19] Kase
    Um, I'm sorry for just barging in!
[11:21] Tashiro
    Hey, we don't have any cups.
[11:23] Tashiro
    Director, can you get us some cups?
[11:25] Kase
    Yu-chan!
[11:33] M-21
    Want some help?
[11:34] Franken
    No, I'll do it.
[11:37] Franken
    I will protect this house and my master.
[11:43] Tashiro
    I didn't know the guard dude was crashing
    at the director's house, too.
[11:48] Kase
    You're such a nice person, Director.
[11:51] Franken
    Not at all. We should help
    each other in times of need.
[11:54] Tashiro
    Hey, then how about if Regis
    and Seira stayed at your place, too?
[11:59] Both
    Huh?
[12:00] Tashiro
    No, hear me out.
[12:02] Tashiro
    I asked them where they lived, and they said,
[12:05] Tashiro
    "We have not yet settled on a place to stay."
[12:07] Tashiro
    With totally straight faces!
[12:09] Tashiro
    Exchange students or not, 
    that's leaving too much up to chance.
[12:12] Regis
    Is it?
[12:14] Kase
    Well... yeah.
[12:15] Tashiro
    If you stay here, you'll have Rai
    and the guard dude, too.
[12:18] Tashiro
    You'd have it easy.
[12:19] Tashiro
    Right?
[12:22] Raizel
    I don't mind.
[12:26] Franken
    O-Of course, I don't mind at all.
[12:28] Franken
    Regis-kun, Seira-san,
    please feel free to stay here.
[12:43] Franken
    I'm sorry.
[12:45] Franken
    I'm sure you don't like this,
    given that you're taking refuge here.
[12:49] M-21
    I'm just a freeloader. You don't need
    to go out of your way for me.
[12:55] Seira
    Is there anything I can help with?
[12:58] Franken
    No, we're all right.
[13:00] Franken
    Your room has been tidied up for you.
[13:02] Franken
    Go on and get some rest.
[13:17] Kid
    No, I'm serious.
[13:18] Kid
    For real?
[13:21] Regis
    A tattoo?
[13:22] Seira
    I believe it was the symbol of one who belongs
    to the organization known as the Union.
[13:27] Seira
    I've heard that numbers are given
    to their experimental subjects.
[13:32] Regis
    I had a strange feeling
    from the moment I first saw him.
[13:36] Regis
    Does this mean he's a man-made monster?
[13:40] Regis
    The coffin's disappearance...
[13:42] Regis
    It was clearly the work
    of some superhuman power,
[13:46] Regis
    but that fact was thoroughly covered up.
[13:50] Regis
    And at the same time, a modified
    human joined normal human society...
[13:56] Regis
    Seira, don't you think that's
    a remarkable coincidence?
[13:59] Seira
    Perhaps it would be best to find out for sure.
[14:13] Kase
    Hey, where's Regis?
[14:15] Tashiro
    He was just here a second ago.
[14:17] Seira
    Regis had business to attend to.
[14:19] Kase
    Oh, okay.
[14:41] Regis
    What do you hope to achieve
    by joining the humans' society?
[14:45] Regis
    I don't like men like you, who abandon
    your humanity to gain power.
[14:52] M-21
    Huh?
[14:55] Kase
    Do you think Regis will be
    able to find his way home?
[14:58] Tashiro
    Rai definitely gets lost a lot.
[15:03] Kase
    Why'd you suddenly stop?
[15:04] Tashiro
    What are you doing beside me?
[15:07] Tashiro
    You should be over there!
[15:09] Kase
    What are you talking about?
[15:10] Tashiro
    I'm saying—
[15:12] PunkA
    Tashiro-kun...
[15:15] PunkA
    Walking around with a pretty foreign lady?
[15:18] PunkA
    Not bad.
[15:20] Tashiro
    What do you guys want?
[15:22] PunkB
    Is that your real hair color?
    Damn, you're seriously cute!
[15:25] Kase
    H-Hey!
[15:27] Tashiro
    Yo, don't mess with my friends.
[15:30] kase
    Yu-chan...
[15:32] PunkA
    You're just as big a wise-ass as they said.
[15:36] PunkA
    You're gonna come with us
    for a bit, Tashiro-kun.
[15:42] Regis
    I have a question.
[15:44] Regis
    Do you know anything about the mysterious events
     that occurred here over the last month?
[15:51] M-21
    They're here to investigate that?
[15:54] M-21
    But why?
[15:56] M-21
    Well, sure, given all the
    commotion they caused.
[15:59] M-21
    Some nutcase was behind them all, right?
[16:02] Regis
    Please don't tell me you actually believe that.
[16:05] M-21
    What are you getting at?
[16:07] Regis
    I want to know the truth, not the doctored
    story that the public knows.
[16:13] Reigs
    I want to hear it straight
    from someone who was involved.
[16:16] Regis
    Give me information on the one
    behind the incidents,
[16:18] Regis
    as well as all who were
    connected to that individual.
[16:23] Regis
    Were you modified humans responsible?
[16:26] Regis
    Did the Union give you your orders?
[16:29] M-21
    Why do you want to know all this?
[16:32] Regis
    I intend to take back what they stole.
[16:35] Regis
    It is... a power far beyond
    the capacity of humans.
[16:41] M-21
    They're after the coffin, too?
[16:44] M-21
    But he still hasn't caught on
[16:46] M-21
    to the possibility that the
    Noblesse has already gotten out.
[16:52] M-21
    Luckily for you, I can save you
    the trouble of looking for it.
[16:55] M-21
    The people who stole it are dead.
[16:58] Regis
    You don't appear to be lying.
[17:01] Regis
    However...
[17:02] Regis
    Did you think telling me
    that would set you free?
[17:05] M-21
    Mind control?!
[17:07] Regis
    It's futile!
[17:12] M-21
    What's the matter?
[17:13] M-21
    Do you prefer to see lowly humans
    tremble in fear before you?
[17:18] Regis
    You monster.
[17:34] Seira
    Regis...
[17:36] Regis
    Seira? What is it?
[17:38] Seira
    My situation has become a bit troublesome.
[17:41] Tashiro
    Did you bring your buddies along
    to help settle the score?
[17:45] Tashiro
    Everything you do is so pathetic.
[17:47] GangA
    You little—
[17:49] Leader
    So you're Tashiro?
[17:50] Leader
    I hear you took good care of my boys.
[17:54] Leader
    Wouldn't you say you got a little too cocky?
[17:57] Leader
    You ain't gonna get outta this one unscathed.
[17:59] Tashiro
    Manabu...
[18:02] Tashiro
    So?
[18:04] Tashiro
    Go on, then. Quit running
    your mouth and find out.
[18:09] Tashiro
    Just so you know, I'm not
    the same as I was last time.
[18:12] Leader
    Don't give me that tough guy act, brat!
[18:14] Leader
    Get him!
[18:23] Punk
    Shit...
[18:24] Kase
    Yu-chan...
[18:25] PunkD
    Bastard!
[18:32] GangA
    What're you doing?! Crush him!
[18:37] Kase
    There are way too many of them.
[18:40] Tashiro
    Stay back!
[18:48] Tashiro
    I won't let them touch you guys!
[18:59] M-21
    What do you expect to do?
[19:00] M-21
    Give them all a taste
    of that weird power of yours?
[19:03] Regis
    Let go of me!
[19:04] M-21
    Look.
[19:05] M-21
    Your companion is safe.
[19:12] Regis
    He...
[19:14] Regis
    How? He's only a human.
[19:17] M-21
    Even humans can fight
    when they have a reason to.
[19:21] PunkC
    Damn it!
[19:22] Tashiro
    Hold it!
[19:28] Leader
    You bunch of—
[19:29] Kase
    Yu-chan, watch out!
[19:34] GangA
    You bastard!
[19:37] M-21
    This ends now.
[19:39] M-21
    You too, Tashiro. That's enough.
[19:43] Tashiro
    Next time you decide to get revenge,
    come when I'm alone.
[19:47] Tashiro
    You'll pay if any of my friends get hurt!
[19:53] Kase
    Yu-chan, are you okay?
[19:55] Tashiro
    Yeah. Are you guys all okay?
[19:57] Kase
    Yeah. Rai and Seira, too.
[20:04] Tashiro
    Oh, thanks!
[20:10] Tashiro
    Ow...
[20:12] Kase
    You okay?
[20:14] Regis
    It seems humans have become quite savage
    in the short time since I last saw them.
[20:19] M-21
    I like to think it's only certain humans.
[20:22] M-21
    But humans have changed.
[20:24] Regis
    Huh?
[20:26] M-21
    I don't know anything
    about the era you guys knew.
[20:30] M-21
    But...
[20:31] Tashiro
    Seriously, I'm fine.
[20:31] M-21
    Humans aren't in need
    of your leadership anymore.
[20:33] Kase
    Your arm still hurts, doesn't it?
[20:35] M-21
    They're not creatures that depend
    entirely on your protection, either.
[20:39] M-21
    I don't know what you're trying to find out,
[20:41] M-21
    but don't just go trampling
    all over our world.
[20:45] Regis
    Don't get impudent with me, modified human.
[20:48] M-21
    The next time you
    call me that, I'll kill you.
[20:51] Regis
    I'll kill you first.
[20:54] M-21
    You know you can't.
[20:55] Regis
    That's not true.
[20:56] Regis
    If it becomes necessary, I will.
[20:58] M-21
    Do as you like, then.
[20:59] Regis
    I most certainly will.
[21:01] M-21
    Do that.
[21:02] Regis
    I will.
[21:02] M-21
    Okay, then.
[22:40] Regis
    Don't let your guard down.
[22:42] M-21
    I haven't.
[22:44] Regis
    Don't think I've given up.
[22:48] M-21
    I don't think that, either.
[22:49] Regis
    I will never accept that you were
    granted a larger room than me.
[22:55] M-21
    I told you, I'll trade you rooms.
[22:57] Regis
    I refuse to be indebted to one such as you!
[23:00] M-21
    Then don't complain.
[23:02] Regis
    I'll kill you in your sleep.
[23:04] M-21
    Do it if you can.
[23:05] Regis
    I will!
[23:06] M-21
    Just try it.
[23:07] Regis
    I'll do it tonight!
[23:08] M-21
    Children should go to bed early.
[23:10] Regis
    I'm not a child!
[23:11] M-21
    You are a child.
[23:11] Franken
    My stomach hurts.
[23:12] Regis
    I said I'm not!
[23:12] Franken
    As the adult, I have to change the mood in here.
[23:13] M-21
    You're just a brat.
[23:14] Regis
    Do you have a death wish?
[23:16] Franken
    Well, why don't I start getting dinner ready?
[23:20] Franken
    Does anyone have any requests?
[23:22] Franken
    I'll put my skills to use,
    like old times. Just ask for anything.
[23:32] Raizel
    Ramen.
[23:35] All
    Again?
