[00:05] Albright
    What's wrong, nobody?
[00:07] Albright
    Out of tricks?
[00:10] Albright
    I bet you are!
[00:12] Albright
    You don't have any real talent at all!
[00:16] Oliver
    Your words don't affect me.
[00:19] Oliver
    You're not as confident as you try to seem.
[00:22] Oliver
    I don't feel the raw pride in you
    that I felt from Mr. Andrews.
[00:26] Oliver
    The way you look down on me...
[00:29] Oliver
    It's almost like you're duty-bound to do so.
[00:31] Albright
    Shut up!
[00:39] Albright
    This ends here!
[00:40] Albright
    Frigus!
[00:45] Oliver
    Point-blank spellcasting...
[00:46] Oliver
    Is that how you win your fights?
[00:49] Oliver
    You cast spells at sword range.
[00:51] Oliver
    A brute-force trick that takes a lot of skill.
[00:53] Oliver
    I can't do it myself, but I can
    bait you into attempting it...
[00:56] Oliver
    Even if I don't have "real talent"!
[00:58] Albright
    You...!
[01:00] Oliver
    Right now, we're even closer than sword range.
[01:03] Oliver
    This is the distance that mages
    hate more than anything!
[01:05] Oliver
    How much experience do you
    have fighting up this close?
[01:08] Albright
    You think that's enough
    for you to win, nobody?
[01:15] Stacy
    Let's finish this, Fay!
SIGN    Reign of the Seven Spellblades
[02:56] Stacy
    The samurai's no threat outside sword range.
[03:00] Stacy
    We'll focus on Michela only!
[03:05] Stacy
    This is the end!
[03:08] Chela
    Tonitrus!
[03:10] Stacy
    Fay's strong enough to take a lightning spell!
[03:31] Nanao
    That is as far as you go.
[03:33] Chela
    I changed my mental image of the spell.
[03:36] Chela
    Last time, I focused on penetrating power.
[03:38] Chela
    This time, I focused on transmissibility.
[03:42] Chela
    A blast of electricity that flows
    along the skin's surface...
[03:45] Chela
    To electrify not Mr. Willock,
    but you yourself.
[03:50] Chela
    You were too hasty to end the fight.
[03:53] Stacy
    Shut up!
[03:56] Chela
    Now come at me.
[04:12] Albright
    We're both just trying to push
    each other off-balance...
[04:15] Albright
    This isn't a duel!
[04:17] Albright
    How long are you going to make me do this?
[04:20] Oliver
    I don't have your finesse in combat,
[04:23] Oliver
    but I do have plenty of endurance!
[04:25] Oliver
    Duel or not, you're stuck with me!
[04:30] Chela
    Your blade's lost its swiftness
    now that you're fighting alone.
[04:36] Chela
    You still lack mental training, Stacy.
[04:45] Albright
    If we keep trying to wear each
    other's concentration down,
[04:47] Albright
    I might be the first to slip up
    and make a mistake.
[04:50] Albright
    Which means...
[04:57] Albright
    He hid his movements with his robe?!
[05:02] Oliver
    Impetus!
[05:14] Oliver
    You were too eager to end this.
[05:18] Oliver
    I win, Mr. Albright.
[05:39] Stacy
    Why...
[05:41] Stacy
    Why can't I win?
[05:44] Stacy
    Why...
[05:45] Stacy
    Why?
[05:48] Fay
    We were weaker.
    That's all there is to it, Stace.
[05:55] Fay
    Sorry we put up such
    a pathetic display to the end.
[05:57] Chela
    I don't mind.
[05:59] Chela
    But do tell me one thing.
[06:03] Chela
    Have you two always hated me?
[06:07] Fay
    You didn't do anything wrong.
[06:09] Fay
    You were just too perfect.
[06:13] Fay
    One of the reasons branch
    families like hers exist
[06:15] Fay
    is to prepare for death in the main family.
[06:17] Fay
    In other words, if you were to die,
    she could take your place.
[06:23] Fay
    But in her case,
    things were a little different.
[06:28] Fay
    She shares the blood
    of Theodore McFarlane, just like you.
[06:31] Nanao
    Her father is Mr. McFarlane?
[06:34] Nanao
    Does that make her your sister, Chela?
[06:37] Chela
    By blood, yes.
[06:40] Chela
    But I'm not allowed to call her that.
[06:45] Chela
    Nor can my father call her his daughter.
[06:48] Chela
    Old families have a tradition
    where powerful mages
[06:50] Chela
    from the main family will "share"
    their blood with the branches.
[06:53] Chela
    My father followed that tradition.
[06:57] Fay
    It was horribly ironic.
[06:58] Fay
    The harder she worked, the more
    she excelled among her siblings,
[07:04] Fay
    the more her father grew to shun her.
[07:06] Fay
    Because it made him realize that his own blood
    was inferior to that of Theodore McFarlane.
[07:12] Fay
    She was told the truth at the age of ten.
[07:16] Fay
    She finally understood why
    her father avoided her,
[07:20] Fay
    and that gave her a new goal.
[07:23] Fay
    To show that she was more talented than you,
[07:26] Fay
    and to have Theodore McFarlane
    accept her as his daughter.
[07:30] Chela
    That's...
[07:31] Fay
    Yes, it's impossible.
[07:33] Fay
    Even if she did beat you somehow,
    that dream would never come to pass.
[07:40] Fay
    But she had nothing else.
[07:43] Fay
    Seeking that recognition was her whole life.
[07:49] Nanao
    I don't see it.
[07:51] Nanao
    I don't see the resemblance at all.
[07:53] Nanao
    You couldn't possibly take Chela's place.
[07:58] Chela
    Nanao?
[08:00] Nanao
    If Chela died tomorrow, you would
    expect me to treat you as her replacement?
[08:06] Nanao
    That's impossible.
[08:09] Nanao
    People aren't like tools.
[08:12] Nanao
    Chela, you, me—we're all here today
[08:14] Nanao
    because we were born as ourselves,
    and no one else.
[08:22] Nanao
    That's why I want to know about you.
[08:27] Nanao
    I want to know the person who
    proudly fought Chela head-on.
[08:31] Nanao
    Is that all right?
[08:37] Stacy
    Yeah.
[08:40] Oliver
    That's what always happens
    when Nanao opens her mouth.
[08:43] Oliver
    Someday, you should fight her instead.
[08:46] Oliver
    I'm sure you'll feel something, too.
[08:52] Oliver
    Mr. Albright?
[08:55] Albright
    Let me talk about the past a little, too.
SIGN    Reign of the Seven Spellblades
[09:07] Albright
    This was something that
    happened a long time ago.
[09:10] Albright
    One of our servants had
    a girl who was my age.
[09:14] Albright
    At some point, we began
    to play chess together...
[09:18] (Flashback) Emma
    Come on, Joseph! I challenge you!
[09:21] (Flashback) Albright
    Again, Emma?
[09:23] (Flashback) Albright
    How many times am I going
    to have to beat you?
[09:25] (Flashback) Emma
    I studied with a book!
[09:27] (Flashback) Emma
    Today, I'm going to win!
[09:35] Albright
    She was weak.
[09:37] Albright
    But she kept challenging me,
    no matter how many times she lost.
[09:43] Albright
    She studied hard, and she
    got better little by little,
[09:48] Albright
    until one day...
[09:52] (Flashback) Emma
    I won!
[09:54] (Flashback) Emma
    Right, Joseph?
[09:55] (Flashback) Emma
    I won!
[09:57] (Flashback) Albright
    Yeah, you did.
[09:59] (Flashback) Emma
    Yes! I did it!
[10:01] Emma
    I finally beat Joseph!
[10:02] Albright
    It stung a little, but more
    than that, I was happy.
[10:05] Albright
    I'd never seen somebody else's
    effort pay off like that before.
[10:11] Albright
    I told my parents what happened.
[10:13] Albright
    That she'd beaten me at chess, and that
    it was the most fun game I'd ever had.
[10:25] Albright
    Father?
[10:37] Albright
    I was beaten for half a day,
[10:40] Albright
    and forced to learn what
    it meant to be an Albright,
[10:44] Albright
    through pain and terror I'll never forget.
[10:54] Albright
    More than anything,
    I wanted to talk to her again.
[10:58] Albright
    But she never came back to my room.
[11:02] Albright
    While I was being punished,
[11:04] Albright
    they had done away with her,
    along with her entire family.
[11:08] Albright
    And that was when I learned
    that I am not allowed to lose.
[11:13] Albright
    My victories and defeats are not my own.
[11:16] Albright
    They belong to the Albright family.
[11:19] Albright
    You said you thought I was acting out
    of duty, didn't you, Oliver Horn?
[11:23] Albright
    You're right.
[11:25] Albright
    I'm sure I'll be looking down on
    others for the rest of my life!
[11:30] Albright
    Respondeo!
[11:45] Nanao
    What are those?
[11:46] Chela
    Stinger bees!
[11:55] Oliver
    What are you doing, Mr. Albright?
[11:57] Albright
    I told you.
[11:58] Albright
    I'm an Albright.
[12:00] Albright
    Therefore, I have to make it
    so this loss never happened.
[12:04] Albright
    Surrender, all of you.
[12:06] Albright
    I'll erase your memories
    of the fight and let you go.
[12:09] Albright
    But if you resist...
[12:16] Stacy
    T-Tonitrus!
[12:17] Fay
    Wait!
[12:31] Katie
    This way, everyone!
[12:34] Oliver
    A barricade?
[12:35] Chela
    Let's go!
[12:41] Guy
    Progressio!
[12:45] Oliver
    Toolplants?
[12:47] Katie
    Yeah, Guy brought the seeds with him!
[12:50] Guy
    It was Katie who noticed the ceiling here
    might be a bee colony, though.
[12:57] Pete
    What are you doing?
[12:58] Pete
    Get in here!
[12:59] Fay
    But we can hardly ask you to save us after—
[13:02] Pete
    Just get in here!
[13:16] Guy
    This is worse than I thought!
[13:25] Stacy
    Incense to ward off bugs? Nice!
[13:28] Katie
    But it won't last long.
[13:36] Albright
    They're buying time, but it won't help.
[13:39] Chela
    What do we do, Oliver?
[13:41] Oliver
    If he just wants to take our memories,
    surrendering is one option.
[13:46] Nanao
    If you say so, Oliver, I won't object.
[13:48] Nanao
    But if possible, I want him
     to taste a proper defeat.
[13:53] Nanao
    Accepting your defeat, respecting the
    person who brought you to your knees...
[13:58] Nanao
    I feel sorry for someone
    who isn't allowed to do that.
[14:03] Katie
    I don't want you to surrender
    to someone like that!
[14:05] Oliver
    Katie...
[14:07] Katie
    I'm not who I was when I first came here.
[14:09] Katie
    I'm prepared to fight people
    who are being unfair!
[14:12] Guy
    If you're surrendering for our sakes, don't.
[14:16] Guy
    If surrender is one option,
[14:18] Guy
    that means you've got another, right?
[14:22] Oliver
    It's a gamble, though.
[14:24] Oliver
    Who knows what'll happen if we fail...
[14:25] Pete
    Enough of this!
[14:27] Pete
    How long are you going to act like our dad?
[14:29] Pete
    We didn't come here just to slow you down!
[14:37] Oliver
    Yeah.
[14:38] Oliver
    You're right, Pete. I'm sorry.
[14:42] Oliver
    I'll explain the plan.
[14:48] Albright
    It's about time, I think.
[14:50] Oliver
    And that's it. If you have any thoughts—
[14:52] Chela
    I have something of my own.
[14:55] Chela
    I've been keeping it to myself until now,
    but this time, I'm willing to use it.
[15:13] Albright
    Impossible.
[15:14] Albright
    An incense that attracts bugs?
[15:23] Guy
    Are we ready? The barricade won't last!
[15:26] Oliver
    No.
[15:27] Oliver
    Wait until the last second...
[15:32] Katie
    Chela, what are you doing?
[15:42] Stacy
    Michela, don't tell me...
[15:45] Chela
    I'm sure some of you already
    know what this means.
[15:49] Oliver
    I've heard the rumors, at least.
[15:52] Pete
    You're half-human, half-elf!
[15:54] Pete
    So the story that Lord McFarlane
    took an elven wife was true?
[15:58] Chela
    This is my first time showing this
    to anyone outside my family.
[16:02] Chela
    It's a little embarrassing.
[16:12] Katie
    Marco!
[16:15] Oliver
    Chela!
[16:16] Chela
    Right!
[16:17] Chela
    Magnus...
[16:19] All
    Tonitrus!
[16:25] Albright
    A double incantation?
[16:30] Stacy
    Double incantations put too
    much stress on the caster...
[16:32] Stacy
    We shouldn't be able to use them yet.
[16:35] Chela
    That doesn't apply to elves, though.
[16:38] Oliver
    Nanao, now!
[16:39] Nanao
    Here I go!
[16:42] Albright
    Knock her out of the sky, bees!
[16:59] Albright
    Elletardus!
[17:05] Nanao
    So you've finally alighted upon the earth.
[17:08] Nanao
    Now, raise your blade.
[17:11] Nanao
    Look at the person in front of you!
[17:13] Nanao
    There is no one on this
    battlefield but you and I!
[17:18] Nanao
    Victory and defeat are ours to decide!
[17:20] Nanao
    No one else can take them from us!
[17:22] Nanao
    No family tenet, nor the gods
    or Buddhas themselves!
[17:30] Albright
    Fine with me!
[17:32] Albright
    Let's begin, samurai!
[17:33] Nanao
    Indeed!
[17:44] Albright
    An excellent loss.
[17:47] Albright
    And now I can finally enjoy it.
[17:56] Pete
    Hey, are you okay?
[17:58] Stacy
    I knew you were a half-elf,
[18:01] Stacy
    but I didn't know it changed how you look,
    or that you could use such power!
[18:05] Stacy
    You could've used that
    when you fought me, right?
[18:09] Chela
    I never intended to use it in
    a duel between first-years.
[18:14] Chela
    If I rely too much on my body's innate powers,
[18:16] Chela
    I won't learn anything.
[18:19] Chela
    And...
[18:20] Chela
    I wanted to fight you
    for as long as I could.
[18:24] Chela
    It's the first time we've interacted
    at all since we were twelve.
[18:30] Chela
    I always looked forward
    to seeing you each year.
[18:35] Chela
    You were so good at doing things
    with flowers and spells.
[18:39] Chela
    See?
[18:41] Stacy
    You still had that?
[18:44] Chela
    I treasure it.
[18:46] Chela
    Even if I couldn't call you my sister,
    even if we were apart, you were still family.
[18:54] Stacy
    That's stupid!
[18:56] Stacy
    You didn't need to save it...
[18:58] Stacy
    I'll make you another one.
[19:08] Oliver
    It was a good duel.
[19:10] Oliver
    Let's fight again sometime,
[19:12] Oliver
    when we've grown stronger than we are now.
[19:15] Albright
    You'd better not regret
    those words, Oliver Horn.
[19:17] Albright
    Now that I've known defeat,
    you can bet I'll get stronger.
[19:21] Oliver
    I'm scared to even imagine it.
[19:24] Oliver
    But by that time, I'll be stronger, too.
[19:28] Oliver
    Now, let's head back.
[19:31] Oliver
    That's enough exploring
    the labyrinth for today.
[21:18] Albright
    A magical beast?
[21:20] Albright
    Frigus!
[21:24] Oliver
    Albright!
[21:29] Oliver
    It's not just one!
[21:31] Oliver
    Run!
[21:37] Fay
    Stace!
[21:38] Fay
    Run, Stace!
[21:40] Stace
    Fay, no!
[21:42] Fay
    Stace!
[21:46] Nanao
    Forgive me!
[21:48] Guy
    Katie, Pete, hurry!
[21:49] Katie
    Right!
[21:52] Oliver
    Pete!
[21:58] Chela
    No!
[22:06] Oliver
    Pete!
[22:14] Godfrey
    Underclassmen are to return
    to the dorms immediately!
[22:17] Godfrey
    No one is allowed into the labyrinth!
[22:19] Oliver
    President Godfrey! Magical beasts!
[22:22] Oliver
    They took three of us!
[22:24] Oliver
    Please, send help!
[22:25] Godfrey
    They got your friends, too?
[22:28] Carlos
    We've received eight identical reports.
[22:30] Carlos
    Seventeen have been taken.
[22:32] Carlos
    And from the descriptions of the beasts,
    we already know the cause.
[22:35] Oliver
    You mean...
[22:37] Godfrey
    Ophelia Salvadori has been
    consumed by the spell!
[22:41] (Flashback) Ophelia
    Don't go on too many adventures.
[22:44] (Flashback) Ophelia
    Stay in the school building,
    and study like a student should.
[22:48] (Flashback) Ophelia
    Especially for the next few months, okay?
[22:53] Oliver
    Ophelia Salvadori...
[22:55] Oliver
    A mage with succubus blood in her veins...
[23:04] Ophelia
    Not yet... Not yet...
[23:08] Ophelia
    I still need to keep my wits about me...
