[00:06] Margoose
    Now, run!
[00:08] Margoose
    Show me you've got spirit!
[00:12] Rati
    I think the same thing every time, but...
[00:12] Margoose
    Come on! Pick up the pace!
[00:13] Rati
    This long-distance running
    after training sure is rough!
[00:15] Margoose
    This year's freshmen sure do have potential!
[00:16] Liselotte
    You're embarrassing yourself,
    whining like that!
[00:19] Leone
    F-Faster again?
[00:23] Pram
    I'm about to keel over...
[00:28] Rafinha
    Me too, to be honest!
[00:30] Margoose
    Looks like you've still got plenty of energy!
[00:33] Rati
    Wh-Who has plenty of energy?
[00:37] Pram
    That one girl over there...
[00:41] Rati
    How much energy does she have?
[00:45] Rafinha
    Well, that's Chris for you...

SIGN    Episode 8 The Order to Protect Ripple
[02:22] Leone
    Those are the upperclassmen.
[02:24] Liselotte
    Seems like it.
[02:26] Miliera
    Everybody's here, right?
[02:29] Miliera
    I have very important news for you all!
[02:33] Miliera
    You'll get the official announcement
    at tomorrow's morning assembly,
[02:36] Miliera
    but we're going to have a guest:
    Ripple, the Hyral Menas.
[02:45] Silva
    I see. I understand the situation.
[02:49] Inglis
    A Special-class Rune...
[02:50] Liselotte
    That's Silva Eiren.
[02:53] Liselotte
    The younger brother of Ledas Eiren,
    head of the Royal Guard,
[02:57] Liselotte
    and the only Special-class
    Rune bearer at the academy.
[03:00] Silva
    We are to protect Ripple and eliminate
    any magicite beasts that appear,
[03:07] Silva
    while ensuring that nothing in the
    vicinity is damaged. Correct?
[03:11] Miliera
    Correct!
[03:13] Miliera
    We can't predict when Ripple's
    condition will strike,
[03:16] Miliera
    or when the magicite beasts will appear.
[03:19] Ripple
    Sorry for the trouble, everyone.
[03:22] Inglis
    So he's the strongest
    student at the academy.
[03:25] Inglis
    That's great. I'd love to fight him!
[03:27] Liselotte
    That's all you ever think about.
[03:30] Miliera
    You've all been specially
    chosen from your grades.
[03:33] Miliera
    Each grade's members will form a team,
[03:36] Miliera
    and each team will take turns
    protecting Ripple for a day.
[03:39] Miliera
    Please isolate the magicite beasts
    from the surrounding area
[03:43] Miliera
    using a barrier generated by these Artifacts
    before attempting to eliminate them.
[03:46] Theodore
    We ask that you have someone who can create
    a barrier by Ripple's side at all times.
[03:53] Rafinha
    I don't see a bow.
[03:55] Rafinha
    I can't use any of these.
[03:57] Inglis
    I guess I'll take one.
[03:59] Inglis
    If I transform my aether into mana,
    I might be able to generate a barrier.
[04:03] Silva
    There's no point in giving you that.
[04:06] Silva
    A Runeless squire can't use
    one of those things.
[04:10] Silva
    Keep your hands off them.
[04:11] Inglis
    Okay, got it!
[04:14] Rafinha
    Wait! You don't need to—
[04:16] Inglis
    Rani, it's fine.
[04:19] Silva
    What's a squire doing here, anyway?
[04:23] Silva
    Having a Runeless here
    just puts the rest of us at risk.
[04:26] Silva
    Leave, now.
[04:27] Inglis
    Good grief. He's the highly strung,
    short-tempered type, right?
[04:31] Silva
    And not just the squire.
[04:33] Silva
    We also have a traitor's
    blood relative in our midst.
[04:36] Silva
    I can't entrust my life
    to the sister of the traitor Leon.
[04:40] Rafinha
    Leone and Leon are different people.
[04:43] Rafinha
    Even as an upperclassman,
    you can't talk to her like that!
[04:46] Liselotte
    That's right!
[04:47] Liselotte
    That's such a shallow thing to think!
[04:49] Liselotte
    When you get to know her, you'll understand.
[04:52] Silva
    What?
[04:53] Ripple
    No fighting, okay?
[04:56] Miliera
    Silva, I think that remark
    went a little far...
[04:59] Inglis
    In that case, Upperclassman Silva...
[05:00] Inglis
    How about determining our worthiness
    for the mission first-hand through battle?
[05:05] Silva
    A battle? Between you people and me?
[05:09] Yua
    Excuse me.
[05:12] Yua
    I don't want to. I don't care enough.
[05:15] Yua
    And if the squires are supposed to leave...
[05:18] Yua
    then I'm a squire, so I'm leaving.
[05:24] Miliera
    Wait, Yua!
[05:27] Yua
    What?
[05:28] Yua
    I'm sleepy.
[05:30] Miliera
    Did you hear what I said?
[05:33] Miliera
    I need your help.
[05:36] Yua
    Tee-hee.
[05:38] Inglis
    It's hard to discern exactly
    what that "tee-hee" means.
[05:41] Miliera
    You're the best student in the second year!
[05:44] Miliera
    We need you here!
[05:46] Morris
    That's right, Yua!
[05:47] Morris
    I don't know if we're strong
    enough to do this without you!
[05:52] Yua
    Okay.
[05:53] Yua
    I'll do it.
[05:55] Inglis
    Okay, Yua. Let's all fight Silva together—
[05:59] Yua
    No.
[06:01] Silva
    So you lack the courage to face me, then.
[06:05] Yua
    I already know who's stronger.
[06:08] Yua
    I don't like bullying the weak.
[06:11] Silva
    What?
[06:12] Inglis
    Principal, did those two...
[06:16] Miliera
    Yes, they had a mock battle one time...
[06:19] Morris
    Yua, you can't say that to his face!
[06:19] Inglis
    And Yua won?
[06:22] Yua
    First he wants me to leave,
    then he wants a duel.
[06:22] Miliera
    Yes. Ever since then,
    they've been like oil and water.
[06:25] Yua
    He's a pain in the butt.
[06:26] Miliera
    As the strongest of the freshmen,
[06:27] Silva
    I'm not the one who proposed a battle.
[06:29] Miliera
    it'd be a huge help if you could get
    them to see eye to eye again...
[06:34] Inglis
    If you want me to beat the both
    of them at once, I'd be happy to!
[06:39] Ripple
    I'm sorry, everyone.
[06:41] Ripple
    This is my fault.
[06:44] Ripple
    I'm causing problems for you all...
[06:48] Silva
    Ripple...
[06:52] Silva
    Ripple?!
[06:55] Morris
    Wh-What?
[06:57] Rafinha
    Be careful, everyone!
[06:58] Miliera
    Theodore, get away from here!
[07:01] Miliera
    I'll put up a barrier! Be careful!
[07:08] Inglis
    Here they come!
[07:09] Silva
    Ma'am, who's in charge today?
[07:15] Silva
    May we third-year students
    have the first day?
[07:18] Miliera
    That's fine by me...
[07:21] Morris
    Magicite beasts!
[07:23] 2nd-Year Student
    They're demihuman!
[07:28] Silva
    You all heard the principal.
[07:30] Silva
    Nobody but us third-years
    can lay a hand on them—
[07:36] Silva
    You there!
[07:38] Silva
    I just said you can't lay a hand on them!
[07:39] Inglis
    I know!
[07:40] Inglis
    That's why I used my foot!
[07:42] 3rd Year Student
    That girl's a squire, but she's so strong!
[07:47] 3rd Year Student
    I can see why they called her here!
[07:51] Morris
    And...
[07:52] Morris/Students
    She's so cute!
[07:55] Silva
    We've got more important
    things to think about now!
[07:57] Silva
    Everyone in my grade, fight!
[08:01] Silva
    No amount of physical damage
    will hurt a magicite beast!
[08:13] Inglis
    A gun Artifact? That's a rare sight.
[08:16] Inglis
    Let's see what he's capable—
[08:22] Inglis
    Rani!
[08:23] Inglis
    Don't come running to me
    if he gets mad at you!
[08:25] Rafinha
    But I didn't lay a hand on them!
[08:29] Rafinha
    I shot them with my bow.
[08:30] Inglis
    Oh! That's fine, then!
[08:32] Silva
    That's not what I meant!
[08:34] Silva
    You can't selfishly—
[08:34] Rafinha
    Who's being selfish?
[08:37] Rafinha
    Ripple's going to suffer if someone
    here gets hurt, no matter who it is!
[08:41] Rafinha
    Your pride isn't what matters here!
    We all need to work together!
[08:45] Silva
    What? You don't have a Special-class Rune.
[08:49] Silva
    You don't have the right—
[08:49] Rafinha
    I've seen someone who does up close!
[08:52] Rafinha
    You're going to be a holy knight and
    fight alongside a Hyral Menas, right?
[08:57] Rafinha
    Then you should try to be more
    understanding of her than anyone here!
[09:02] Inglis
    When she believes in something,
[09:04] Inglis
    she won't back down,
    no matter who she's talking to.
[09:07] Inglis
    That's the spirit!
[09:10] Students
    Silva! More incoming!
[09:12] Silva
    All right! Third-years, engage the enemy!
[09:20] Liselotte
    I just happened to swing my spear,
    and it hit the enemy!
[09:25] Leone
    And I guess my sword collided
    with something! Sorry!
[09:29] Silva
    Why are you all like this?
[09:31] Miliera
    Now, now, Silva!
[09:33] Miliera
    Let's say it's the principal's orders!
    Everybody, engage the enemy!
[09:38] Inglis
    I'll do my best!
[09:44] Rafinha
    Yua!
[09:46] Rafinha
    You heard what she said, right?
[09:47] Rafinha
    Don't be upset! Help fight!
[09:50] Yua
    I'm sorry!
[09:56] Yua
    Smack.
[10:01] Inglis
    Wow!
[10:03] Inglis
    I may be under increased gravity right now,
[10:06] Inglis
    but this is the first time
    anyone's been faster than me.
[10:11] Yua
    Sorry.
[10:12] Inglis
    It's fine!
[10:16] Yua
    Nice.
[10:18] Inglis
    Thank you! I'd love to battle you sometime!
[10:21] Yua
    I'd rather not.
[10:23] Yua
    I don't want to compare my
    strength with other people.
[10:26] Inglis
    Aww, come on!
[10:27] Yua
    No.
[10:28] Inglis
    Please!
[10:29] Yua
    Not a chance.
[10:30] Inglis
    I'm begging you!
[10:30] Students
    Wow, those two are incredible.
[10:31] Yua
    Never.
[10:32] Inglis
    Please!
[10:32] Students
    This is so easy.
[10:33] Yua
    No way.
[10:33] Silva
    Stop gawking and fight!
[10:41] Theodore
    That should do it.
[10:44] Rafinha
    Ripple!
[10:46] Leone
    If it's the same as it was before,
    she should wake up soon.
[10:53] Miliera
    Good work, everyone.
[10:56] Miliera
    But this is only a way to keep the damage
    to a minimum, and not a solution.
[11:01] Silva
    Do you have a solution?
[11:03] Theodore
    It's going to take time,
    but we'll do our best.
[11:06] Miliera
    I would appreciate it if you would!
[11:11] Miliera
    I don't know how much of this
    the school building can take.
[11:15] Silva
    That's your fault!
[11:17] Silva
    For not watching where you
    were hitting the enemy!
[11:20] Yua
    We held back as best we could...
[11:23] Yua
    Right? Um...
[11:24] Inglis
    My name's Inglis, Yua!
[11:26] Yua
    In... Ingl... In...
[11:31] Morris
    Yua's not good at learning people's names.
[11:34] Yua
    That's right, Bean Sprout.
[11:36] Morris
    See? She's known me for a year.
[11:39] Morris
    The name's Morris, by the way.
     Nice to meet you.
[11:42] Inglis
    Call me what you like, then, Yua!
[11:46] Yua
    Okay, then...
[11:48] Yua
    You can be Boobs.
[11:51] Yua
    And if the upperclassmen had worked harder,
[11:54] Yua
    we wouldn't have needed to do all that.
[11:57] Silva
    I was just holding back so that my Artifact
    wouldn't destroy the building!
[12:01] Silva
    Think when you fight!
[12:03] Yua
    We were thinking, right, Boobs?
[12:09] Inglis
    When I became king of an entire country,
[12:11] Inglis
    I never thought the day would
    come when I'd be called "Boobs."
[12:14] Inglis
    You never know what
    fate's got in store for you.
[12:21] Ripple
    And that's what she decided
    to call you, Inglis?
[12:25] Inglis
    It's embarrassing.
[12:27] Ripple
    She didn't bother to learn my name either.
[12:30] Inglis
    What did she call you?
[12:32] Ripple
    "Lady Animal Ears."
[12:34] Ripple
    It doesn't bother me.
[12:36] Ripple
    What did she call you, Rafinha?
[12:39] Rafinha
    "Little Devil."
[12:40] Inglis
    That thunder she brought down
    must've really scared her...
[12:44] Rafinha
    I don't think it's fair.
[12:48] Ripple
    And Leone?
[12:49] Leone
    "Boobs #2."
[12:51] Leone
    "Two" for short.
[12:54] Ripple
    And you, Liselotte?
[12:56] Liselotte
    C... "Curly Hair."
[13:00] Ripple
    Man, that sucks for all you guys!
[13:02] Rafinha
    I'm more upset with Silva!
[13:04] Rafinha
    What was his problem?
[13:06] Rafinha
    He's so arrogant and nasty!
[13:09] Ripple
    He's a little wound up.
[13:13] Ripple
    But I think he'd be a good match for me.
[13:17] Inglis
    Checkmate.
[13:19] Leone
    I-I lose.
[13:21] Rafinha
    Chris is always good at whatever she does.
[13:24] Liselotte
    Checkmate.
[13:28] Rafinha
    I lose again...
[13:30] Liselotte
    Would you like to play a game, Ripple?
[13:33] Ripple
    Nah, I'm not really into this stuff.
    I'm more of the physical type.
[13:38] Inglis
    How about a battle, then?
[13:40] Inglis
    A bit of exercise is good for the mind, too!
[13:44] Rafinha
    Chris, we're here to protect Ripple!
[13:50] Liselotte
    That's right. You're supposed
    to defend her, not fight her!
[13:55] Ripple
    Sure.
[13:56] Ripple
    Yeah, let's do it.
[13:58] Inglis
    R-Really?
[14:00] Ripple
    Miliera and Theodore were saying they
    wanted to see what happens when I fight.
[14:06] Ripple
    And I want to see your
    strength for myself, too.
[14:10] Ripple
    Wow, you sure look pleased!
[14:16] Miliera
    Well, I assumed you'd say that eventually.
[14:20] Theodore
    You know your students well, then.
[14:24] Inglis
    In that case, can we get started right away?
[14:26] Miliera
    Theodore, give it to her.
[14:29] Theodore
    Leone, here.
[14:31] Rafinha
    It's the same shape as Leone's sword.
[14:35] Leone
    What's this?
[14:36] Theodore
    A Greater Artifact.
[14:38] Miliera
    After the battle with the
    magicite beasts yesterday,
[14:41] Miliera
    it seemed safer to move them somewhere
    else than put up a barrier.
[14:46] Miliera
    So I asked Theodore for it.
[14:49] Theodore
    Its Gift moves everyone in its vicinity
    into a pocket space, isolating them.
[14:55] Liselotte
    That's amazing!
[14:57] Miliera
    Leone's Rune is the most compatible
    with it in terms of element.
[15:02] Leone
    Mine?
[15:05] Theodore
    We'd like you to test how strong
    the space is and how long it holds.
[15:09] Theodore
    So please conduct your battle
    within the effect of this Artifact.
[15:13] Miliera
    If it works, we can share it
    with the other teams.
[15:17] Inglis
    Okay, Leone. Do it right now! Now! Now!
[15:22] Ripple
    She can't wait to fight, can she?
[15:26] Miliera
    Go ahead.
[15:28] Miliera
    We'd like to see how it
    works from inside, too.
[15:31] Leone
    Okay, then. Let's see...
[15:36] Theodore
    Focus your mind.
[15:41] Inglis
    Leone, you can do it!
[15:43] Miliera
    You don't need to force it.
[15:45] Miliera
    Just give yourself over to
    the flow the Rune creates...
[15:48] Leone
    Okay...
[15:55] Miliera
    Yes, just like that...
[16:01] Leone
    I did it!
[16:02] Rafinha
    It's like the Labyrinth of Trials...
[16:06] Inglis
    You okay, Leone? You feeling all right?
[16:10] Leone
    I-I'm okay.
[16:12] Leone
    You can start.
[16:15] Inglis
    Thanks!
[16:16] Inglis
    Let's do this, Ripple!
[16:18] Rafinha
    Yeah!
[16:21] Inglis
    It's been so long since
    I last fought a Hyral Menas.
[16:25] Inglis
    I can barely contain my excitement!
[16:27] Ripple
    Miliera, block any stray shots, okay?
[16:30] Miliera
    Okay!
[16:31] Miliera
    Start light and gradually ramp it up, okay?
[16:37] Ripple
    Roger.
[16:38] Ripple
    Come on, then.
[16:40] Inglis
    Here I go!
[16:46] Inglis
    A head-on fight!
[16:49] Ripple
    Nice punch!
[16:54] Liselotte
    M-My goodness.
[16:57] Liselotte
    Inglis is attacking with incredible speed.
[17:00] Rafinha
    But Ripple's dodging it all easily!
[17:08] Ripple
    That was a little close!
[17:10] Ripple
    I'll do this my usual way, then.
[17:15] Ripple
    Close-up fighting isn't my style.
[17:19] Inglis
    A gun?
[17:20] Inglis
    Now I understand why you said
    Silva would be a good match for you.
[17:24] Ripple
    Yup.
[17:26] Ripple
    Here I go.
[17:34] Rafinha
    An ice blade!
[17:37] Inglis
    I made an ice blade with magic! It worked!
[17:41] Inglis
    If I'd waited until the last second to dodge,
    I wouldn't have given her that opening.
[17:45] Ripple
    Nice. Here I go!
[17:45] Inglis
    I'll address that next time.
[17:51] Ripple
    Oh, no!
[17:53] Miliera
    I can handle this much.
[17:58] Miliera
    Nothing stronger, though!
[18:03] Inglis
    That means I can give it my all!
[18:05] Miliera
    Please listen to what I'm saying!
[18:10] Inglis
    I need to get close and take the offensive!
[18:14] Inglis
    Ripple's strength is her ability
    to keep her distance at all times.
[18:20] Inglis
    I need to overcome that and win!
[18:23] Rafinha
    They're getting closer!
[18:26] Liselotte
    Inglis is trying to get
    close enough to attack!
[18:32] Ripple
    I'm not going to stop moving.
[18:34] Inglis
    I'll catch up to you!
[18:39] Ripple
    You look so happy!
[18:41] Inglis
    If I can get one step closer,
    she'll be in range!
[18:46] Inglis
    Another gun?
[18:47] Ripple
    Yup. Dual handguns.
[18:56] Ripple
    There!
[18:57] Inglis
    I'm not done yet!
[18:58] Ripple
    Now it's my turn to go on the offensive.
[18:59] Ripple
    Can you get close to me?
[19:01] Liselotte
    I can't see an opening from either of them!
[19:03] Rafinha
    Chris!
[19:05] Inglis
    What do I do?
[19:06] Inglis
    Wait for her to run out of ammo?
[19:09] Inglis
    Or will my stamina run out first?
[19:15] Inglis
    She's not moving?
[19:18] Inglis
    So that's it.
[19:19] Inglis
    I'm fighting at her range,
    which means I'm moving and she's not.
[19:23] Inglis
    So maybe...
[19:26] Inglis
    If I turn toward her and become
    a smaller target...
[19:30] Inglis
    The bullets will have to be closer together!
[19:35] Inglis
    Got you!
[19:39] Ripple
    Take this!
[19:44] Inglis
    There's my opening!
[19:50] Rafinha
    She'll hit them!
[19:55] Inglis
    Are you okay?
[19:57] Ripple
    Oww...
[19:59] Ripple
    You not only deflected my bullets,
    you threw them back at me?
[20:01] Ripple
    Are you some kind of pervert?
[20:03] Ripple
    Miliera, thanks for catching me
    with your barrier.
[20:07] Miliera
    No, I didn't do anything.
[20:11] Miliera
    I thought you were going to slam into it,
    but when you touched the barrier,
[20:16] Miliera
    it disappeared like it had been sucked away.
[20:19] Theodore
    You mean your mana was drained away?
[20:23] Inglis
    Um, can we continue?
[20:24] Theodore
    Can we test that with
    someone else's Artifact?
[20:29] Liselotte
    You can use mine.
[20:30] Inglis
    Um, our fight...
[20:33] Rafinha
    Chris!
[20:33] Rafinha
    They're having a serious conversation!
[20:35] Theodore
    Touch this, Ripple.
[20:44] Theodore
    Does anything feel strange?
[20:46] Liselotte
    Nothing.
[20:49] Theodore
    Miliera, now you borrow her Artifact.
[20:53] Miliera
    The angel wings?
[20:55] Miliera
    I'm a little old for those...
[21:04] Theodore
    Go ahead, Ripple.
[21:17] Theodore
    It's absorbing her mana,
    just like we thought.
[21:20] Theodore
    But only Miliera's!
[21:23] Miliera
    Maybe it's because Hyral Menases
    can only take power
[21:26] Miliera
    from a holy knight with a Special-class Rune?
[21:29] Theodore
    Yes. The weapon transformation power,
    which normally requires intent on her part
[21:33] Theodore
    and the power of a Special Rune, has been
    twisted into absorbing mana on its own.
[21:39] Theodore
    And when a certain amount
    has been absorbed...
[21:45] Theodore
    It summons magicite beasts.
[21:47] Ripple
    Sorry, Inglis.
[21:50] Ripple
    Take care of them for me...
[21:53] Inglis
    Ripple!
[21:55] Leone
    I-I'm sorry!
[21:58] Leone
    I can't keep this up anymore!
