[00:11] King Inglis
    Do not look so forlorn, everyone.
[00:15] King Inglis
    I can hardly pass on in peace if
    I'm worried about the rest of you.
[00:20] Minister
    Your Majesty, please, you must recover!
[00:23] Minister
    The people still need your strength!
[00:26] King Inglis
    This is my fate.
[00:29] King Inglis
    My friends, I leave the rest... in your hands.
[00:37] Alistia
    Inglis...
[00:40] King Inglis
    Oh, such a sight for sore eyes!
[00:43] King Inglis
    Divine Alistia...
[00:46] King Inglis
    I had hoped to see you one
    last time before the end.
[00:51] Alistia
    As did I, Inglis.
[00:53] Alistia
    Yours was truly a life well-lived.
[00:56] Alistia
    I can think of no greater achievement
    than your efforts to serve the people.
[01:01] King Inglis
    Oh, no... without your blessing,
[01:05] King Inglis
    it would have been impossible to found the
    Kingdom of Silvare in a single lifetime.
[01:11] Alistia
    But it was the forthright
    nature of your heart
[01:14] Alistia
    that allowed you to slay so many
    monsters and wicked gods,
[01:17] Alistia
    and become known as the Hero-King.
[01:20] Alistia
    It seems I chose wisely in
    making you my Divine Knight.
[01:24] King Inglis
    Your words fill an old man
    with much pride, divine one.
[01:30] Alistia
    It is for that reason that I am here today,
    to repay you for your extraordinary efforts.
[01:38] King Inglis
    I am unworthy.
[01:40] Alistia
    Is there anything you wish for?
[01:43] Alistia
    If it is within my power, I will make it so.
[01:47] King Inglis
    Anything, you say?
[01:51] King Inglis
    Well... if I could, I would
    choose to be reborn.
[01:58] King Inglis
    I have dedicated my entire life
    to my kingdom and its people.
[02:03] King Inglis
    I have no regrets about that, and yet...
[02:08] King Inglis
    Had I not become king, and instead spent my
    life dedicated to honing my martial skill...
[02:14] King Inglis
    What heights could I have reached?
[02:17] King Inglis
    I find myself wishing to see that outcome.
[02:21] Alistia
    Your wish shall be granted.
[02:29] Alistia
    I will look forward to our
    reunion in the distant future,
[02:35] Alistia
    once you have been reincarnated.
[02:49] Luke
    Up you go! Look how high you are!
[02:50] Selena
    Dear, you mustn't shake her like that!
SIGN    Serena
SIGN    Luke
[02:54] Selena
    You'll frighten our little Inglis.
[02:56] King Inglis
    Inglis?
[02:58] King Inglis
    It seems I truly have been reborn!
[03:02] King Inglis
    And with the same name, in spite of everything.
[03:02] Luke
    You're not afraid, are you,
    Inglis? Oh, no, you aren't!
[03:07] Luke
    I have to say, Serena, she looks just
    like you. Such a beautiful girl!
[03:13] King Inglis
    G-Girl?
[03:15] Serena
    I'm sure she'll be a fine lady someday.
[03:18] King Inglis
    A... girl?
[03:22] King Inglis
    I'm a girl?!

[05:05] Inglis
    Good grief. I can't even
    swing a sword as a baby.
SIGN    Inglis Age 0
[05:11] Inglis
    But even after reincarnating,
    my divine blessing is intact.
[05:16] Inglis
    I can feel the aether within me.
[05:21] Narration
    Aether is the foundation of
    all creation in the world.
[05:27] Narration
    Everything that exists
    is composed of aether,
[05:31] Narration
    and control over it means exerting
    your will over the world itself.
[05:36] Narration
    It is, in essence, divine power.
[05:40] Inglis
    I only had time to master the
    fundamentals of aether in my past life.
[05:46] Inglis
    And since being reborn, I haven't seen
    anyone else with control over it.
[05:50] Inglis
    It's also troubling that I can't
    sense the goddess anymore.
[05:55] Voice
    A magicite beast is attacking!
    Take cover in the castle!
[05:58] Inglis
    Magicite beast?
[06:00] Serena
    Chris, we need to escape in a—
[06:05] Serena
    Was she... f-floating?!
[06:08] Serena
    I-I must've been seeing things.
[06:11] Inglis
    Will this get her to drop it?
[06:12] Serena
    It's all right, Inglis.
[06:15] Serena
    Your father and the others will chase
    off the magicite beast soon.
[06:19] Inglis
    "Magicite beast."
[06:21] Inglis
    Now, there is a name that
    captures the imagination!
[06:25] Inglis
    Here's hoping they're vicious beasts
    that will make satisfying foes!
[06:37] Irina
    Serena!
[06:38] Serena
    Irina!
[06:40] Serena
    Where are the children?
SIGN    Irina
[06:42] Serena
    Rafael is looking after Rafinha.
[06:44] Serena
    Hurry, inside!
[06:46] Irina
    Yes!
[06:48] Rafael
    Mother. Auntie. I'm glad
     to see you're all right.
SIGN    Rafael Age 8
[06:52] Irina
    How has Rafinha been, Rafael?
[06:54] Rafael
    She's right here. And behaving very well.
SIGN    Rafinha Age 0
[06:58] Rafael
    It'll be all right now, Chris.
[07:01] Irina
    We can wait here while the knights
    chase off the magicite beast.
[07:08] Inglis
    That's a magicite beast?
[07:11] Inglis
    Mm. It seems the color of those stones
    varies between each creature.
[07:16] Inglis
    Do they contain the power of condensed mana?
[07:20] Inglis
    The world seems to have become
    much more dangerous...
[07:24] Inglis
    Which works out nicely for me!
[07:27] Inglis
    I'm itching to get started!
[07:29] Serena
    Come on, settle down.
[07:31] Irina
    You can't blame her. This is the first
    time she's seen a magicite beast, right?
[07:36] Irina
    It's only natural that she'd be scared.
[07:38] Serena
    I can only hope that we're rid
    of those monsters someday,
[07:42] Serena
    for the sake of the children...
[07:45] Inglis
    You mustn't say such things, Mother!
[07:47] Inglis
    I'm in need of worthy foes!
[07:50] Inglis
    That means I need those magicite beasts!
[07:52] Serena
    There, there. Don't be afraid, Chris.
[07:56] Rafael
    It's so frustrating.
[07:58] Rafael
    I've already received my Rune,
    but I can't do more than watch from here.
[08:04] Narrator
    Runes.
[08:05] Narrator
    They are needed to wield Artifacts, the weapons
    that allow combat against magicite beasts,
[08:12] Narrator
    and are the mark of all knights.
[08:15] Inglis
    Those didn't exist in my past life, either.
[08:18] Irina
    Rafael...
[08:19] Irina
    You have a Special-class Rune.
[08:22] Irina
    The kind only given to the chosen few
    who will represent the hope of all people.
[08:28] Irina
    You must not fall in a place like this.
[08:32] Irina
    Do you understand?
[08:33] Rafael
    Yes, Mother.
[08:36] Irina
    Even if you have to abandon
    everyone else here,
[08:39] Irina
    you must survive, no matter what.
[08:41] Rafael
    B-But that's...
[08:45] Serena
    Sister!
[08:48] Rafael
    Mother!
[08:54] Serena
    No!
[09:07] Serena
    Rafael!
[09:11] Rafael
    Auntie?!
[09:12] Serena
    Take the babies and run!
[09:14] Rafael
    But that sword won't be of any use!
[09:18] Serena
    Just get the two of them to safety!
[09:26] Rafael
    Auntie!
[09:27] Inglis
    Mm. Her swordplay is by no means lacking.
[09:30] Inglis
    But this magicite beast is more
    agile than one might think.
[09:35] Serena
    What are you doing?! Hurry and go!
[09:42] Rafael
    Rani, Chris, I'm sorry.
    Just wait here for a moment!
[09:47] Rafael
    I'll help you!
[09:48] Serena
    No! You need to run!
[09:51] Rafael
    If I can't protect the people I care about,
    how can I help anyone else?!
[09:57] Inglis
    Well said, boy!
[10:00] Inglis
    You do not become a hero at
    someone else's direction...
[10:04] Inglis
    but through the fruit of your
    own choices, your own actions!
[10:16] Rafael
    Auntie...
[10:25] Inglis
    He's too gallant a lad to let
    die in a place like this.
[10:29] Inglis
    I'm living this new life for my own sake.
[10:33] Inglis
    And that means I have
    no interest in heroism.
[10:36] Inglis
    Yet...
[10:37] Inglis
    I am not disinclined to lend my aid
    to those with heroic potential!
[10:48] Inglis
    Aether Strike!
[11:00] Inglis
    A fair showing, I'd say, for a baby.
[11:06] Rafael
    C-C-Chris?
[11:10] Rafael
    Wh-What just happened?
[11:12] Inglis
    W-Was he awake?!
[11:14] Rafael
    I'm so glad...
[11:17] Inglis
    You'd do well to think you caught a
    fleeting glimpse of a dream, boy.
[11:23] Inglis
    Things... should be fine... now...
[11:27] Inglis
    A baby's stamina... was not
    meant... for battle...
[11:28] Knights
    Ma'am! Master Rafael! Are you all right?!
[11:33] Inglis
    Oof...
[11:35] Luke
    I'm just glad no one's hurt.
[11:37] Serena
    All thanks to Rafael.
[11:39] Serena
    And the town wasn't too badly damaged.
[11:41] Luke
    No, but we need to re-examine
    the town's security.
[11:45] Luke
    If the beast had been a Prismer...
[11:48] Luke
    It takes only one of those creatures
    to lay waste to a nation.
[11:51] Inglis
    Well, isn't that interesting?
[11:54] Inglis
    These "Prismer" beasts...
[11:57] Inglis
    will make for fine prey.
[12:01] Inglis
    Something to look forward to.
[12:09] Inglis
    My rebirth seems to have come with quite
    the darling change in appearance!
SIGN    Inglis Age 5
[12:13] Inglis
    In time, I'm likely to become
    an unparalleled beauty!
[12:16] Inglis
    What I would have done for
    a granddaughter like this!
[12:19] Irina
    Oh, my! Our Chris really does love
    looking in the mirror, doesn't she?
[12:24] Serena
    I don't know what it is. She's so
    clever and well-behaved otherwise.
[12:29] Rafinha
    Chris!
SIGN    Rafinha Age 5
[12:31] Inglis
    Rani!
[12:33] Irina
    Where's the harm? She is adorable.
[12:36] Irina
    Enough to even dazzle herself, right?
[12:38] Inglis
    Auntie, I apologize for
    that unseemly display.
[12:42] Irina
    And so well-spoken, too!
[12:46] Irina
    It's hard to believe she's
    only five, like Rani.
[12:49] Irina
    What kind of lessons made
    her turn out like this?
[12:53] Serena
    We didn't do anything, really.
[12:55] Inglis
    I, uh, read about it in a book.
[12:57] Rafinha
    Chris! Let's work hard at practice today.
[13:00] Inglis
    Right!
[13:10] Rafinha
    Oh, no!
[13:13] Inglis
    Are you all right, Rani?
[13:16] Inglis
    Here, stand up.
[13:19] Rafinha
    Chris...
[13:21] Inglis
    You need to brace your hips.
[13:23] Inglis
    Try to do it like everyone else.
[13:26] Middle-Aged Knight
    Come now, Master Rafael!
    No need to hold back!
[13:28] Rafael
    Right. If you please!
SIGN    Rafael Age 13
[13:31] Inglis
    The eldest son of the local lord,
    the Duke of Bilford.
[13:34] Rafinha
    You can do it, Brother!
[13:34] Inglis
    Dignified, serious, and dedicated.
[13:37] Inglis
    Everyone expects great things
    from him as the next lord.
[13:41] Inglis
    And with exceptional martial talents.
[13:41] Luke
    Enough! Master Rafael wins.
[13:44] Luke
    Well done.
[13:46] Rafael
    Thank you!
[13:47] Rafinha
    He's so amazing!
[13:49] Inglis
    I'd say that the only
    person among these knights
[13:51] Inglis
    who can stand against him is
    my father, their captain.
[13:55] Inglis
    I'd love to spar with him someday!
[13:58] Rambach
    Greetings, Sir Luke!
[14:00] Rambach
    Pardon the intrusion.
[14:02] Luke
    Mr. Rambach!
[14:05] Luke
    It's a pleasure to have you joining us.
[14:07] Luke
    Everyone, meet the Rambach Company,
    who have joined us for a mock duel.
[14:12] Inglis
    The Rambach Company?
[14:13] Rafinha
    Well, I heard that people who trade get
    attacked by magicite beasts a lot!
[14:18] Inglis
    How lucky for them!
[14:20] Inglis
    Er, never mind.
[14:22] Rafinha
    And that's why they train with the
    knights sometimes to get stronger!
[14:26] Rafinha
    My brother told me.
[14:30] Rambach
    This is my son, Rahl.
[14:33] Rahl
    My name is Rahl.
[14:35] Rahl
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[14:36] Luke
    Likewise, of course.
[14:38] Luke
    You seem to be the same
    age as Master Rafael.
[14:41] Rafael
    I'm Rafael Bilford.
[14:43] Rafael
    It's a pleasure to have you joining us.
[14:45] Rahl
    L-Likewise...
[14:54] Luke
    That's enough! Rahl wins.
[14:57] Rafinha
    Wow! He beat ten people by himself!
[15:02] Inglis
    The knights were dominating at first.
[15:05] Inglis
    The flow changed completely
    once he picked up a sword.
[15:08] Rahl
    Are you knights out of shape or something?
[15:12] Rahl
    It would make sense,
[15:13] Rahl
    given how few magicite beast
    attacks there have been lately.
[15:16] Rafinha
    He sure got snooty fast, huh?
[15:18] Inglis
    It was an act all along.
[15:20] Rambach
    While we've been having to contest with
    those creatures constantly during our travels.
[15:26] Knight B
    That boy suddenly seems a lot stronger.
[15:30] Knight C
    It's hard to find your footing against him.
[15:33] Knight A
    It was the same for me. He must be
    really skilled at gauging striking range.
[15:39] Inglis
    Are they serious?
[15:41] Inglis
    It's obvious he's using some kind of magic.
[15:44] Narration
    The use of mana, a weakened
    distillation of aether,
[15:48] Narration
    as fuel to cause supernatural phenomena:
[15:53] Narration
    That is magic.
[15:56] Inglis
    He's restricting the movement of
    anyone who makes eye contact...
[15:59] Inglis
    A kind of binding.
[16:02] Inglis
    And a weak kind at that.
[16:04] Inglis
    All it does is hinder the
    opponent's movements slightly.
[16:08] Inglis
    Yet no one has been able to notice it.
[16:11] Inglis
    It seems the people of this time have truly
    lost all knowledge and concept of magic.
[16:24] Rafael
    Rani!
[16:29] Rafael
    Chris!
[16:31] Rafael
    Thank you.
[16:33] Rahl
    Well, this is a shame.
[16:34] Rahl
    I came here hoping to
    learn from you knights...
[16:38] Rahl
    But now it's like I'm teaching you a lesson!
[16:42] Rambach
    Come now, Rahl! Let's not be rude.
[16:47] Rafael
    I'll face you next, Rahl.
[16:51] Rahl
    It's an honor to face a future holy knight.
[16:56] Rahl
    Let's have a fair contest, shall we?
[16:59] Inglis
    Oh, he's being absolutely brazen.
[17:01] Inglis
    Excuse me, Cousin Raf?
[17:04] Rafael
    What is it, Chris?
[17:05] Inglis
    I think you should try to avoid
    looking at him as much as possible.
[17:09] Rafael
    What do you mean?
[17:11] Inglis
    Something strange is going on.
    Everyone is moving sluggishly.
[17:15] Inglis
    And Rahl always positions himself
    directly in front of his opponent.
[17:21] Inglis
    It makes me wonder if
    something's going on.
[17:24] Rafael
    Fight without looking at him, eh?
[17:26] Inglis
    I doubt he'd understand if I told
    him that this fight involves magic.
[17:30] Inglis
    Better to just hint at it.
[17:33] Rafael
    Understood, Chris. And thank you.
[17:36] Rafinha
    C-Chris, my brother can win, can't he?
[17:40] Inglis
    It'll be all right!
[17:41] Inglis
    And you can cheer him on
    to encourage him, Rani.
[17:46] Rafinha
    Yeah!
[17:47] Rafinha
    You can do it, Brother!
[17:50] Luke
    Begin!
[18:01] Knight A
    He's pushing him!
[18:02] Knight B
    Attaboy, Master Rafael!
[18:04] Rafinha
    Brother!
[18:06] Rafael
    I can do this!
[18:08] Rahl
    Damn it!
[18:09] Knight C
    Right there, Master Rafael!
[18:10] Knight C
    Don't let him recover!
[18:13] Inglis
    Look out!
[18:17] Rahl
    I've got you!
[18:21] Luke
    That's enough!
[18:23] Luke
    Rahl wins.
[18:25] Rambach
    Magnificent, Rahl, my boy!
[18:28] Rahl
    How fitting of a future holy knight,
    and the heir to this land...
[18:33] Rahl
    He's clearly on another level
    compared to the other knights.
[18:39] Rafinha
    He lost...
[18:44] Inglis
    It's okay.
[18:47] Inglis
    I'll avenge him.
[18:50] Rahl
    Charging in without looking
    at the opponent...
[18:53] Rahl
    Can you all accept a holy knight
    like this leading you someday?
[18:59] Rafael
    It was a shameful display.
[19:01] Inglis
    Well done!
[19:05] Inglis
    Would you be willing to teach
    me a bit before you go?
[19:09] Rahl
    Oh, come off it.
[19:11] Rahl
    How am I supposed to fight
    a little girl like this?
[19:15] Rahl
    Go and find some dolls to play with.
[19:19] Inglis
    Would you rather I explain
    what you've been doing?
[19:25] Rahl
    Wh-What are you insinuating?
[19:27] Inglis
    I believe you know exactly what.
[19:30] Inglis
    So, what do you say?
[19:32] Rahl
    Fine, then! Just don't
    cry after you get hurt!
[19:36] Inglis
    Likewise.
[19:38] Luke
    Inglis, this is crazy!
[19:40] Rafael
    He's right, Chris! Don't do it.

[19:43] Inglis
    No! Young as I am,
    I'm my father's daughter!
[19:47] Inglis
    I must uphold the honor of his knights!
[19:49] Luke
    As admirable as that is...
[19:52] Inglis
    If you don't let me, I'm going to tell
    Mother about that new vase you bought.
[19:59] Luke
    Understood! Fight hard, Inglis!
[20:02] Inglis
    I'm glad we could come to an understanding.
[20:04] Luke
    Begin!
[20:06] Rafinha
    Good luck, Chris!
[20:13] Inglis
    I can dispel this paltry magic with
    the aether that wreathes my body!
[20:22] Inglis
    I'd win with ease by using aether.
[20:25] Inglis
    But what fun would that be?
[20:28] Inglis
    This will be a pure contest,
    measured solely in skill with swords!
[20:36] Inglis
    I managed something similar in
    my past life, at a young age...
[20:39] Inglis
    And now?
[20:42] Inglis
    I have the perfect opportunity to measure
    my current abilities in actual combat!

    It seems my daughter is a child prodigy!

    You're incredible, Chris!

    Thank you for the bout.
[21:46] Rafinha
    You were amazing, Chris!
[21:50] Inglis
    Thank you, Rani!
[21:59] Inglis
    Not a bad fight at all.
[22:01] Inglis
    I'd say this merits a passing
    score for where I am now.
[22:05] Inglis
    But I've got further to go.
[22:07] Inglis
    I need to aim even higher!
[22:10] Inglis
    That's the reason why I was reborn!
