[00:06] Oliver
    Calm down, Pete.
[00:07] Oliver
    It's fine. Everything's fine.
[00:12] Oliver
    Don't draw your weapon!
[00:13] Chela
    That's right. If you do, we're finished.
[00:17] Chela
    You'll give them a reason to attack us.
[00:19] Ophelia
    It's been too long, Rivermoore.
[00:23] Ophelia
    Still desecrating every corpse
    you find? How disgusting.
[00:25] Rivermoore
    What you do to men in pursuit of your carnal 
    urges is far more disgusting, if you ask me.
[00:32] Rivermoore
    Or am I wrong, Salvadori Succubus?
[00:36] Ophelia
    You know what's going to happen to you
    now that you've called me that, right?
[00:41] Rivermoore
    You can't hurt me.
[00:42] Rivermoore
    Or have you already forgotten the time
    I ripped out half your guts?
[00:47] Rivermoore
    Congreganta!
[00:58] Ophelia
    Partus!
[01:06] Pete
    Summoning magic?
[01:08] Chela
    No...
[01:09] Oliver
    She's giving birth to it!
[01:12] Oliver
    Literally!
[01:18] Oliver
    Now! Run!
[01:26] Rivermoore
    I appreciate that you've got spirit,
[01:28] Rivermoore
    but it's not going to help you.
[01:31] Nanao
    Indeed. This is a place where men die.
[01:34] Nanao
    I know the feeling well.
[01:39] Oliver
    Nanao!
SIGN    Reign of the Seven Spellblades
[03:16] Rivermoore
    Congreganta deformatio!
[03:30] Nanao
    I shall protect you.
[03:33] Nanao
    If you wish to escape, this is your chance.
[03:35] Nanao
    Once I join the battle,
    it will be a free-for-all.
[03:39] Nanao
    It will be a struggle for either
    of them to come after you.
[03:46] Rivermoore
    A serpent can't hold it back, huh?
[03:49] Rivermoore
    What seed will you be putting into
    that disgusting womb of yours next?
[03:53] Ophelia
    You're no better than me.
[03:55] Ophelia
    Tell me, what corpse did
    you take that spine from?
[03:59] Nanao
    Someone who was supposed to die
    has finally found a place to do so...
[04:02] Nanao
    That's all this is.
[04:05] Oliver
    That's all?
[04:06] Nanao
    Go, you three!
[04:09] Oliver
    That's all?!
[04:14] Chela
    Oliver!
[04:17] Godfrey
    Ignis!
[04:22] Godfrey
    Enough.
[04:24] Godfrey
    I was quite clear that there is a right way
    and a wrong way to "recruit" the new students.
[04:30] Rivermoore
    I see you're still the kind to incinerate first
    and ask questions later, Purgatory.
[04:35] Godfrey
    Don't call me that around the new students.
[04:40] Godfrey
    Don't worry.
[04:42] Godfrey
    I won't let them harm you.
[04:44] Godfrey
    I swear on my name as Alvin Godfrey,
    student body president of Kimberly.
[04:52] Carlos
    You heard the man.
[04:54] Ophelia
    Carlos...
[04:55] Carlos
    I'm Carlos Whitrow, fifth-year prefect
    and your cool-headed senior.
[05:00] Carlos
    Nice to meet you, my cute little kitties.
[05:04] Godfrey
    I'll inform you as to your punishment later.
[05:07] Godfrey
    Now get back to the depths of the labyrinth.
[05:11] Rivermoore
    You got lucky, Succubus.
[05:13] Ophelia
    No, you did, Scavenger.
[05:17] Ophelia
    Wash those disgusting guts of yours
    before we meet again.
[05:25] Godfrey
    You've had one hell of a welcome here, I see.
[05:27] Carlos
    Those two don't usually come up this far.
[05:31] Carlos
    I suppose they must have been curious
    about the new freshmen.
[05:34] Carlos
    It's okay now.
[05:35] Carlos
    There are few places in Kimberly
    safer than near him.
[05:39] Godfrey
    I'm impressed you managed
    to avoid being taken away.
[05:42] Godfrey
    You aren't the only ones
    who got lost, after all.
[05:45] Carlos
    Let's go.
[05:46] Carlos
    I'll show you the way out.
[05:49] Katie
    I was really worried, you know!
[05:52] Nanao
    You have my apologies, Katie.
[05:55] Oliver
    Do you have a death wish?!
[05:58] Katie
    Oliver!
[06:01] Katie
    You followed after us alone—
    no, that's one thing.
[06:05] Katie
    But what you did back there...
[06:08] (Flashback) Nanao
    Someone who was supposed to die
    has finally found a place to do so...
[06:10] (Flashback) Nanao
    That's all this is.
[06:13] Oliver
    You knew that what you
    were doing was suicide.
[06:16] Oliver
    No, that's what you wanted.
[06:19] Oliver
    Right?
[06:20] Chela
    Calm down, Oliver.
[06:22] Chela
    I know how you feel.
[06:24] Chela
    Let's all talk this out.
[06:30] Chela
    Nanao, will you tell us?
[06:33] Chela
    Why did you do what you did?
[06:38] Nanao
    I think Oliver said it best.
[06:42] Nanao
    I've long since lost any attachment to life.
[06:46] Nanao
    Actually, I don't even feel like
    any of this is still real.
[06:49] Nanao
    Am I really alive at all?
[06:56] Nanao
    It was one of the worst battles I'd ever seen.
[06:58] Nanao
    Our enemy, Souma Yoshihisa,
    led a force of 50,000 men.
[07:02] Nanao
    We at the rear numbered 200.
[07:05] Nanao
    All I remember is killing, and killing, until
    I was in the middle of the enemy camp...
[07:24] (Flashback) Nanao
    I have come for the life of
    General Souma Yoshihisa!
[07:28] (Flashback) Yasutsuna
    Know your place, girl!
[07:39] (Flashback) Yasutsuna
    What... are you?
[07:44] (Flashback) Yoshihisa
    Surround her! Surround her!
[07:46] (Flashback) Nanao
    This is quite the welcome.
[07:50] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    Little girl...
[07:51] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    What do you want, a piece of candy
    and a pat on the head?
[07:55] (Flashback) Nanao
    If I may make a request,
[07:56] (Flashback) Nanao
    I'm told that your son, Yasutsuna,
    is the strongest fighter of your clan.
[08:01] (Flashback) Nanao
    Please, grant me the chance to fight him!
[08:05] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    You cut him down without
    even knowing who he was?
[08:08] (Flashback) Nanao
    Don't tell me...
[08:10] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    Yes, he was a skilled warrior.
[08:13] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    But he was also a poet...
[08:17] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    Not that you'd know.
    You don't know anything!
[08:23] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    Don't worry, little girl.
[08:25] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    We won't torture a warrior
    who fights to the end.
[08:28] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    But I will ask nothing—
    not even your name.
[08:31] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    You will die, forgotten,
    as a nameless soldier.
[08:33] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    That is the only revenge I will grant myself!
[08:36] (Flashback) Yasuhisa
    Kill her.
[08:45] (Flashback) Soldier
    My spear... I can't move my arm!
[08:48] (Flashback) Theodore
    I still don't quite understand
    the ways of your country.
[08:53] (Flashback) Theodore
    I'd like an explanation.
[08:56] (Flashback) Theodore
    How is not asking her name an act of revenge?
[09:01] (Flashback) Yoshihisa
    The Western sorcerer!
[09:03] (Flashback) Theodore
    That aside,
[09:05] (Flashback) Theodore
    I'm always drawn to children with potential.
[09:08] (Flashback) Theodore
    As an educator, you see.
[09:10] (Flashback) Theodore
    It would be a waste to let her die here.
[09:13] (Flashback) Theodore
    You, nameless girl.
[09:16] (Flashback) Theodore
    Would you like to come to my
    country and become a mage?
[09:24] Nanao
    Everything since that moment has felt
    like part of a single, long dream.
[09:30] Nanao
    That's why I was in such a hurry...
[09:32] Nanao
    to make my wish come true
    before the dream came to an end.
[09:36] Oliver
    Your wish?
[09:38] Nanao
    There is no joy in a blade
    wielded for revenge,
[09:41] Nanao
    only in a blade wielded out of mutual love.
[09:44] Nanao
    A fair fight between opponents
    who respect and accept one another,
[09:48] Nanao
    with no enmity between us...
[09:50] Nanao
    In our school of fighting,
SIGN    Shiawase (happiness)
SIGN    Shiawase (happiness)
[09:53] Nanao
    we call that shiawase.
[09:56] Katie
    "Shiawase"?
[09:57] Oliver
    That's what you call it?
[10:00] Oliver
    Killing someone you respect and admire?
[10:03] Nanao
    Yes.
[10:04] Nanao
    It's twisted, isn't it?
[10:06] Nanao
    Even I know that.
[10:09] Nanao
    But Oliver... When I fought you...
[10:13] Nanao
    I felt it... That this was the
    shiawase I'd been looking for.
[10:19] Nanao
    Of course you refused.
[10:20] Nanao
    You have no reason to fight me to the death.
[10:23] Nanao
    I know that, but still...
[10:26] Nanao
    It made me so sad that you pushed
    me away... It hurt me so much...
[10:31] Nanao
    And at some point I stopped caring about
    everything... and just wanted to die.
[10:38] Katie
    So, basically...
[10:41] Katie
    Oliver turned you down,
    and you got all weird about it?
[10:45] Oliver
    Sorry, Katie. Could you be quiet for a bit?
[10:49] Nanao
    No, she's basically right.
[10:52] Nanao
    Whether I fell in love with you
    as a person, or with your blade...
[10:55] Nanao
    There's not much difference.
[10:58] Guy
    You hear that, Oliver?
[11:00] Pete
    They're the same, it seems.
[11:03] Chela
    That's how a true warrior thinks, I guess.
[11:05] Chela
    But I can't let you kill each other.
[11:10] Chela
    Is a non-lethal duel not good enough?
[11:13] Nanao
    The style of fighting I've learned
    is about killing at its core.
[11:18] Nanao
    So...
[11:20] Pete
    You can't take it seriously unless
    you're trying to kill each other?
[11:23] Pete
    What a piece of work you are.
[11:26] Chela
    I understand.
[11:28] Chela
    But as your friend, I'll say this.
[11:32] Chela
    It's time to find a new way to live, Nanao.
[11:37] Nanao
    Chela?
[11:39] Chela
    Stop looking for a place to die.
[11:41] Chela
    Kimberly has too many of
    those to count already.
[11:44] Chela
    And more than anything,
    you're here and alive. It's not a dream.
[11:51] Chela
    If it doesn't matter whether it's a person
    or a blade you fell in love with, Nanao,
[11:57] Chela
    then it's the person you should be looking at.
[11:59] Chela
    Oliver is right here, sword or no sword.
[12:04] Chela
    And everyone who's here wants to
    spend their time with you, too.
[12:13] Guy
    That's right.
[12:15] Guy
    Let's have more fun together!
[12:16] Katie
    I won't let you die, okay?
[12:19] Katie
    We're friends now!
[12:20] Pete
    I still don't know a lot
    of people here, either.
[12:24] Pete
    I don't want that number to go down.
[12:26] Chela
    And what about you, Oliver?
[12:29] Oliver
    Will you promise me, Nanao?
[12:33] Oliver
    That you won't try to get yourself killed,
    no matter what happens?
[12:36] Oliver
    That you'll use your sword for your own sake,
    no matter what happens?
[12:43] Nanao
    Yah!
[12:47] Nanao
    You have my apologies.
[12:48] Nanao
    It seems I forgot myself.
[12:50] Nanao
    I swear, here and now, that I will never
    try to throw my life away again!
[12:57] Nanao
    So... please teach me
    how to live my life here.
[13:03] Nanao
    I don't think I understood a single
    one of the classes today...
[13:10] Oliver
    We'll help you out.
[13:12] Oliver
    Pete's just started studying magic, too.
[13:16] Oliver
    It's not too late for you at all.
[13:18] Chela
    That's right.
[13:19] Chela
    If nothing else, you're probably
    not as bad at it as Guy.
[13:23] Guy
    You're using me to make her feel better?
[13:27] Chela
    The second they crossed blades,
[13:29] Chela
    they realized that they
    were fated to be together.
[13:33] Chela
    Your swords are almost too
    dazzling to look at...
SIGN    Reign of the Seven Spellblades
[13:43] Nanao
    Good morning, Oliver!
[13:46] Oliver
    Good morning.
[13:47] Guy
    Looks like you're feeling better.
[13:49] Nanao
    I'm sorry for worrying you yesterday!
[13:51] Pete
    I wasn't worried.
[13:54] Pete
    But, well...
[13:55] Pete
    This is more like the Nanao I know.
[13:59] Nanao
    Now, let's go and learn!
[14:06] Oliver
    Why are you walking next to me, Nanao?
[14:09] Nanao
    To look at you, of course.
[14:11] Nanao
    Chela said that it was the person
    I should be looking at, not the sword!
[14:16] Oliver
    I don't think she meant for you
    to get right up in my face...
[14:19] Nanao
    Does it upset you?
[14:21] Oliver
    I didn't say that.
[14:24] Guy
    He doesn't seem to mind it too much.
[14:25] Nanao
    I don't think he minds at all.
[14:27] Oliver
    Guy! Pete!
[14:29] Katie
    Nanao!
[14:31] Katie
    Um, I don't think it's good for you
    to press up against him like that...
[14:35] Nanao
    Why?
[14:37] Katie
    Because...
[14:39] Guy
    She seems to mind it a lot.
[14:41] Pete
    It bothers her quite a bit.
[14:44] Katie
    You two!
[14:47] Chela
    This is kind of fun, right?
[14:49] Nanao
    Indeed it is!
[14:53] Oliver
    Yes. This is just fine.
[14:56] Oliver
    If Nanao's realized that there are more
    ways to live than just by the blade...
[15:02] Garland
    Okay, break time!
[15:05] Garland
    Anyone have questions?
[15:08] Student
    Um, Mr. Garland?
[15:10] Garland
    Yes?
[15:11] Student
    I've been wondering for a while...
[15:14] Student
    Can you use a spellblade?
[15:17] Garland
    I thought someone would be asking that soon.
[15:20] Garland
    All right. I'll explain, I guess.
[15:23] Garland
    There's a specific type of
    sword art called a spellblade.
[15:28] Garland
    Its definition is simple.
[15:30] Garland
    A spellblade is a technique that, when used
    within the one-step, one-spell distance,
[15:33] Garland
    will kill an opponent without fail,
    and without any way for them to resist.
[15:38] Garland
    There are six known spellblades in existence.
[15:42] Garland
    There are many out there who work
    to develop new spellblades,
[15:46] Garland
    and many who try to invent ways
    to defeat the existing ones.
[15:48] Garland
    And yet, for a long time, the number
    of spellblades has remained at six.
[15:53] Garland
    Of course, these techniques
    are secret by nature.
[15:56] Garland
    How they work, and who can
    wield them, is not made public.
[15:59] Garland
    Some doubt they even exist.
[16:01] Garland
    So, of course, I can't tell you
    if I can use one or not.
[16:07] Garland
    That's all.
[16:08] Students
    Sir, at least give us a hint!
[16:10] Students
    What happens if two spellblade users fight?
[16:13] Garland
    As you can see, when the question
    comes up, class comes to a dead halt.
[16:20] Garland
    Now get back to work!
[16:22] Nanao
    An invincible sword technique...
[16:24] Nanao
    Now that is something that interests me!
[16:28] Nanao
    Did you know about them, Oliver?
[16:30] Oliver
    Not any more than what you just heard.
[16:33] Richard
    You're still talking
    instead of practicing, huh?
[16:36] Richard
    Maybe you don't need to practice.
[16:39] Oliver
    We're all at the same level right now.
    We all need to practice.
[16:43] Richard
    The same level? Does that include me?
[16:46] Oliver
    I'm not here to pick a fight.
[16:48] Richard
    I see. So you're accusing me of slacking off.
[16:52] Chela
    Mr. Andrews, you're embarrassing
    yourself by acting like this.
[16:57] Richard
    Shut up, Ms. McFarlane.
[16:59] Richard
    I'm talking to him.
[17:01] Oliver
    What do you want from me?
[17:03] Richard
    You know the answer.
[17:04] Richard
    Or is that athame you're
    holding just for show?
[17:07] Oliver
    Fine. I'll fight you.
[17:09] Oliver
    It can be a practice fight, right?
[17:11] Richard
    Call it what you like!
[17:13] Richard
    I'll repay you for your insolence tenfold!
[17:18] Nanao
    I sense no boldness in your stride.
[17:19] Nanao
    You mean to lose to him
    deliberately, don't you?
[17:23] Nanao
    I don't want that!
[17:26] Nanao
    I don't want to see you lose
    unless you're truly beaten...
[17:31] Nanao
    If you're going to fight,
    give it your all! Please!
[17:34] Oliver
    No, I...
[17:36] Richard
    You think... You think so little of me?
[17:40] Richard
    I'm not even worth taking seriously?
[17:42] Garland
    You two! Focus!
[17:49] Oliver
    You grew up together?
[17:50] Chela
    Since we're the same age, Mr. Andrews
    and I were constantly compared.
[17:57] Chela
    I think he always feared losing his place.
[18:03] Chela
    So it's partially my fault that he's so
    fixated on showing off his strength.
[18:09] Oliver
    I don't want relations between us
    to get any worse, either.
[18:13] Oliver
    I can apologize if that makes him feel better.
[18:14] Chela
    No. You've done nothing wrong.
[18:18] Chela
    And I don't want to disappoint Nanao, either.
[18:23] Oliver
    It's not possible to give both
    of them what they want.
[18:26] Pete
    There you are!
[18:28] Oliver
    What's wrong?
[18:28] Pete
    Katie ran off!
[18:30] Pete
    She heard they were going to kill that troll
    that went out of control at the parade!
[18:35] Darius
    There are several things in this world
    that I just can't abide.
[18:38] Darius
    One of them is having to say the same thing
    to the same person twice.
[18:43] Darius
    If that person makes me say it three times,
[18:45] Darius
    I start to wonder if they're
    not a person, but a monkey.
[18:49] Darius
    What's your name?
    I suppose you have one, yes?
[18:53] Katie
    Katie Aalto.
[18:54] Darius
    Aalto?
[18:56] Darius
    Oh, that explains it.
[18:58] Darius
    A lot of "civil rights" people are stupid,
[19:00] Darius
    but very few are as stupid as your parents.
[19:03] Darius
    You have my sympathies for being
    born into the wrong family.
[19:06] Katie
    I'll pretend I didn't hear
    that insult to my parents.
[19:10] Katie
    But please don't kill him!
[19:13] Darius
    A shockingly irresponsible proposition.
[19:15] Darius
    If we let him live and he kills someone,
    how will you take responsibility?
[19:20] Katie
    I'll convince him not to attack anyone.
[19:22] Darius
    Convince? You'll convince him?
[19:26] Darius
    You're going to have
    a conversation with a troll?
[19:28] Darius
    Perhaps while enjoying
    a spot of tea on the terrace?
[19:30] Katie
    Don't laugh!
[19:32] Darius
    It seems you need to be educated...
[19:35] Darius
    in a way that even a monkey can understand.
[19:37] Darius
    Dolor!
[19:43] Oliver
    Katie!
[19:48] Oliver
    Darius... Grenville!
[19:51] Chela
    That's going too far!
[19:53] Darius
    Going too far?
[19:54] Darius
    I'm doing this for her own good.
[19:56] Darius
    If you're going to get in my way...
[19:57] Vera
    Stop.
[19:59] Vera
    Your enthusiasm in instructing
    the students is admirable,
[20:02] Vera
    but there's more to teaching
    than just physical discipline.
[20:05] Darius
    Is that Miligan, the fourth-year?
[20:07] Darius
    What do you want?
[20:08] Vera
    There's been a filed objection
    to the death of that troll.
[20:13] Vera
    And the one who filed it is right here...
[20:14] Garland
    Enough, Darius.
[20:17] Garland
    The use of extreme pain spells in teaching
    was banned five years ago.
[20:22] Darius
    I have no intention of changing
    the way I teach.
[20:25] Darius
    So, what is this "objection"?
[20:27] Garland
    We've yet to do a full investigation into
    the cause of what happened at the parade.
[20:32] Garland
    It should be kept alive as evidence.
[20:35] Garland
    The headmistress agreed, of course.
[20:37] Darius
    Ridiculous.
[20:39] Darius
    Don't tell me you're joining
    the civil rights advocates.
[20:43] Garland
    No, I'm a passive conservative.
    As I always have been.
[20:47] Garland
    But the rights advocates are no longer
    a small, powerless group.
[20:52] Garland
    Killing it before we've had the chance
    to do a full inquiry
[20:55] Garland
    will give them a lot to complain about.
[20:59] Darius
    Do as you wish.
[21:03] Darius
    Even if you do let it live,
    it's just going to step on that monkey.
[21:07] Katie
    It's not going to step on m—
[21:10] Oliver
    Don't try to move, Katie.
[21:12] Chela
    I'll ease your pain.
[21:15] Vera
    You okay?
[21:16] Katie
    Um...
[21:18] Vera
    Vera Miligan. I'm a fourth-year.
[21:20] Vera
    I was concerned about their plans
    for this troll as well.
[21:23] Vera
    As a fellow lover of demi-humans,
[21:25] Vera
    I think there's a lot I can do to help you.
[21:28] Vera
    Come and talk to me
    if you ever need anything.
[21:31] Katie
    O-Okay!
[21:36] Guy
    How are you smiling after
    what you just went through?
[21:40] Katie
    I'm just happy to have met
    an upperclassman like her!
[21:48] Pete
    A familiar?
[21:49] Chela
    It's from Mr. Andrews.
[21:53] Chela
    He says he's challenging
    Oliver and Nanao to a duel.
