**[00:07] Man**
Oh, God...
**[00:08] Man**
My God...
**[00:15] Vanessa**
He would've been luckier not to have
made it all the way in here.
**[00:19] Vanessa**
He tastes disgusting, though.
All bones and sinew.
**[00:23] Vanessa**
So, we're here to talk about Darius.
Right, Headmistress?
**[00:26] Esmerelda**
Correct.
**[00:28] Esmerelda**
It's been four months now
since he disappeared.
**[00:32] Esmerelda**
We can safely assume he's dead.
**[00:34] Gilcrist**
How strange.
**[00:36] Gilcrist**
He wasn't the sort of fool who'd just
get himself killed in the labyrinth.
**[00:41] Enrico**
So someone killed him, then?
**[00:45] Enrico**
Whoever did it, raise your hand!
**[00:49] Vanessa**
Any one of us could've done it.
**[00:51] Vanessa**
But I don't think anyone outside of the
six of us, or that kid Garland, could have.
**[00:57] Vanessa**
I guess McFarlane could've, too.
**[00:59] Theodore**
Oh, my. What high praise.
**[01:04] Vanessa**
You're back?
**[01:05] Theodore**
I'd appreciate it if you
showed a *little* surprise.
**[01:08] Theodore**
It's not easy, staying up here
so that you don't notice me.
**[01:12] Esmerelda**
Don't interrupt us, Theodore.
**[01:18] Theodore**
My apologies, Headmistress.
**[01:20] Theodore**
Whenever I see something stagnating,
I always want to stir the pot a little.
**[01:25] Esmerelda**
So nobody here had a hand
in Darius's disappearance.
**[01:30] Esmerelda**
Is that correct?
**[01:31] Esmerelda**
If it's not, someone here has
just made an enemy of me.
**[01:37] Esmerelda**
If you're prepared for what that means,
nothing more needs saying.
**[01:41] Esmerelda**
I have no further questions to ask.
**[01:44] Vanessa**
So, I'm not saying this happened, but...
**[01:47] Vanessa**
What if it was a student?
**[01:51] Esmerelda**
Nothing changes.
**[01:54] Esmerelda**
They'll regret their stupidity. That's all.
**[02:00] Esmerelda**
As they suffer and despair...

**[03:42] Pete**
My body... It's so hot...
**[03:56] Pete**
What was that?
**[04:12] Oliver**
What is it, Pete?
**[04:13] Pete**
Nothing! It's nothing!
**[04:17] Oliver**
But, Pete...
**[04:19] Pete**
Don't come any closer!
**[04:33] Chela**
What's gotten into Pete?
**[04:35] Nanao**
He has been acting strangely since breakfast.
**[04:38] Katie**
Hey, Pete, did Guy do something to you?
**[04:41] Guy**
Why are you assuming it would be me?
**[04:43] Katie**
'Cause you're the only one it could be,
considering how we all act!
**[04:47] Guy**
I'm always nice!
**[04:48] Guy**
You're the one who's always saying
whatever pops into her head!
**[04:52] Pete**
Shut up!
**[04:53] Pete**
Just leave me alone today!
**[04:55] Pete**
Got it?
**[05:00] Oliver**
Let's leave him.
**[05:01] Chela**
Yeah.
**[05:05] Chela**
Huh?
**[05:07] Chela**
Good morning, Ms. Cornwallis.
**[05:10] Chela**
We haven't spoken for
quite a while, have we?
**[05:12] Fay**
Hey, Stace.
**[05:14] Fay**
It's Michela, from the main family.
**[05:17] Stacy**
Let's go, Fay.
**[05:23] Nanao**
Do you know her?
**[05:26] Chela**
That's Stacy Cornwallis, a relative of mine,
and her attendant, Fay Willock.
**[05:31] Chela**
She's been keeping her distance from me
like that since school began.
**[05:36] Guy**
Chela, sometimes it feels
like everyone you know...
**[05:38] Katie**
...has issues, one way or another.
**[05:41] Chela**
You think so?
**[05:43] Stacy**
Huh? Come on, let's go!
**[05:45] Dustin**
Okay, we're all here!
**[05:47] Dustin**
Good morning, all of you poor,
earthbound creatures!
**[05:50] Dustin**
Today's the day you spread
your wings and fly!
**[05:52] Dustin**
I'm Dustin Hedges, and I'm here to
teach you how to ride a broomstick!
***SIGN*** Broomriding
**[05:57] Dustin**
Call me "Instructor Dustin"!
***SIGN*** Instructor

**[05:59] Katie**
Finally!
**[06:01] Katie**
You can't start this class until
you've been here six months,
**[06:04] Katie**
and I've waited for it for so long!
**[06:06] Nanao**
So it's finally time, huh?
**[06:08] Chela**
Nanao, you're worried?
**[06:11] Nanao**
I don't know if I'd say I'm worried, just...
**[06:13] Nanao**
I could fly astride a living creature,
but I'm not so sure about a broom.
**[06:19] Oliver**
I see. A lot of people make that mistake.
**[06:22] Oliver**
I'll let you in on a little secret.
**[06:25] Oliver**
Brooms don't fly.
**[06:27] Nanao**
What? But, Oliver...
**[06:29] Dustin**
You ready?
**[06:32] Dustin**
Some of 'em have quite
the temper! Be careful!
**[06:45] Dustin**
All right. This here's the broomhouse.
**[06:57] Students**
How cute!
**[06:57] Dustin**
The friendly ones have come to say hello.
**[07:00] Dustin**
Say hi back.
**[07:01] Nanao**
I see. They're not objects.
They're living things.
**[07:06] Dustin**
Correct!
**[07:07] Dustin**
Magical fauna of the genus *Besom*,
subfamily *Scopae*.
**[07:10] Dustin**
They subsist off the elementals and magic
particles that exist in the atmosphere,
**[07:14] Dustin**
as well as the mana they receive from mages.
**[07:16] Dustin**
And in exchange, they let us fly with them.
**[07:19] Dustin**
But of course, every broom
prefers a specific type of rider.
**[07:22] Dustin**
They won't let you on
if they don't like you!
**[07:25] Dustin**
So go find the partner who's right for you!
**[07:29] Katie**
They're all so cute!
**[07:31] Guy**
How about you?
**[07:33] Guy**
Whoa, that was close!
**[07:35] Chela**
You've brought your own broom,
haven't you, Oliver?
**[07:39] Oliver**
Yeah. We've known each other a while already.
**[07:44] Chela**
The brooms like her, huh?
**[07:46] Oliver**
I can see why, with her mana.
**[07:56] Dustin**
Wait! That one's a bucking broom!
**[07:59] Dustin**
If you're not careful,
it'll leave you black and blue!
**[08:02] Oliver**
That broom is...
**[08:10] Nanao**
My trusty steed Akikaze was the same at first.
**[08:14] Nanao**
You suffer none but your true master
to ride you. Isn't that right?
**[08:20] Nanao**
I won't force you to come with me
if that is not your wish,
**[08:23] Nanao**
but allow me to say: the girl you see
in front of you likes you best of all!
**[08:34] Nanao**
I accept! Let us travel together henceforth!
**[08:38] Nanao**
I have chosen my partner!
**[08:45] Dustin**
After the number of times I tried
and failed to tame that one...
**[08:48] Dustin**
She's amazing.
**[08:50] Chela**
She rides so deftly.
**[08:52] Chela**
Normally, even a veteran rider
takes time to adjust to a new broom.
**[09:00] Oliver**
*I'm sure of it.*
**[09:02] Oliver**
*That's the same broom my mother once flew.*
**[09:10] Oliver**
*And it chose Nanao...*
**[09:16] Nanao**
I had no idea broomriding was so much fun!
**[09:20] Nanao**
I can't wait for the next lesson!
**[09:21] Katie**
Me, too!
**[09:23] Katie**
I couldn't fly like Nanao, but I think my
broom and I came to an understanding!
**[09:27] Guy**
The two of us had no luck at all.
**[09:30] Guy**
You wanna have Nanao and Katie
show us the ropes, Pete?
**[09:32] Pete**
*You* can if you want to.
**[09:34] Pete**
I'll study on my own.
**[09:35] Guy**
He's still in his rebellious phase.
**[09:37] Guy**
It's tough when they're that age,
isn't it, Mother dear?
**[09:40] Oliver**
That's just how puberty is, Father dear.
**[09:43] Pete**
You're not my parents!
**[09:46] Pete**
I'm going to class.
**[09:48] Katie**
Alchemy's up next, right?
**[09:50] Katie**
We've been having substitute
teachers for a while now.
**[09:53] Katie**
What happened to Mr. Grenville?
**[09:56] Chela**
The most plausible theory I've heard
is that he went missing in the labyrinth.
**[10:01] Chela**
It's still hard to believe, though.
**[10:03] Guy**
Some people are saying it was
infighting between teachers,
**[10:06] Guy**
or a mage with a grudge against Kimberly.
**[10:10] Theodore**
What's the truth, though?
**[10:13] Chela**
Father?!
**[10:15] Theodore**
That's right. It's your daddy, Chela.
**[10:17] Theodore**
You've gotten even prettier
since I last saw you!
**[10:23] Pete**
Is that Professor Theodore McFarlane?
**[10:27] Chela**
We're in public, so act like it!
**[10:31] Chela**
And where have you been, anyway?
**[10:34] Theodore**
A lot of places, in fact.
**[10:36] Theodore**
Sorry for making you worry.
**[10:38] Chela**
There's someone else you should
be apologizing to first.
**[10:41] Theodore**
Oh, Nanao!
**[10:43] Theodore**
It's been half a year, hasn't it?
**[10:45] Theodore**
Are you having fun?
**[10:46] Nanao**
I am. Thank you, Mr. McFarlane.
**[10:49] Chela**
You brought her all the way here from Azia,
and then you just disappeared on her!
**[10:53] Theodore**
I figured with you here to look
after her, it'd all work out.
**[10:56] Chela**
What kind of parent drops
all that on his daughter?!
**[10:58] Theodore**
And it seems you've made many friends, too!
**[11:00] Theodore**
I'd love to talk more,
**[11:03] Theodore**
but I'm here to teach class today.
**[11:05] Theodore**
Some other time.
**[11:07] Chela**
Class?
**[11:09] Chela**
Don't tell me...
**[11:11] Theodore**
And so, I will be your alchemy professor
for the immediate future.
***SIGN*** Alchemy

**[11:16] Theodore**
I'm simply subbing for a while,
but I hope we can get along.
**[11:21] Chela**
I can't see him doing a normal class...
**[11:24] Theodore**
Before we get down to business, has anyone
here read my "Journey to the East"?
**[11:32] Stacy**
Yes, I've read up to Volume 12.
**[11:35] Theodore**
Oh, is that you, Stacy?
**[11:38] Theodore**
It's been quite a while.
**[11:40] Stacy**
Y-Yes, Uncle...
**[11:42] Pete**
U-Um... I read it too!
**[11:45] Pete**
I have a question!
**[11:46] Pete**
There's a part here in the
second edition of volume 25
**[11:49] Pete**
that differs from the first printing...
**[11:51] Theodore**
Did you read every volume?
**[11:53] Pete**
Yes, three times over!
**[11:57] Theodore**
I see! Wonderful! It's thanks to people
like you that I can put food on the table.
**[12:02] Theodore**
May I ask your name?
**[12:04] Pete**
Pete Reston!
**[12:05] Theodore**
Pete, is it?
**[12:06] Theodore**
All right. I'll be sure to bring you back
a present from my next trip to Azia!
**[12:11] Pete**
Thank...
**[12:13] Theodore**
What's wrong? Are you okay?
**[12:15] Pete**
Y-Yes. I'm sorry, sir.
***SIGN*** Reign of the Seven Spellblades
**[12:29] Enrico**
Everyone, welcome to your first
magical engineering class!
***SIGN*** Magical Engineering
***SIGN*** Teacher
Enrico Forghieri
**[12:34] Teacher**
I'm your teacher, Enrico Forghieri!
**[12:39] Guy**
Hey, I think this one's even
worse than the others...
**[12:42] Katie**
Guy, you can't say that about
a teacher you've just met.
**[12:45] Oliver**
No, he's right.
**[12:47] Oliver**
Don't lose focus for a moment in this class!
**[12:49] Enrico**
I'll be teaching you the foundation
of magical civilization!
**[12:54] Enrico**
In other words, the theory
and skills you'll need to create
**[12:58] Enrico**
magic tools and magical architecture!
**[13:00] Enrico**
It's a fascinating subject,
and I promise you won't be bored!
**[13:06] Enrico**
Today, we'll start by dismantling
finished products
**[13:11] Enrico**
to understand what makes them tick!
**[13:14] Enrico**
These four boxes are magical traps
that are set to trigger in 60 minutes.
**[13:19] Enrico**
They each have a different
internal structure,
**[13:21] Enrico**
and if you can't dismantle them in time,
you'll have a big problem on your hands!
**[13:27] Enrico**
If your hands are still attached, that is.
**[13:31] Enrico**
If you don't want to lose a limb or two,
you'd better do your best!
**[13:35] Enrico**
I suggest splitting into several groups.
**[13:37] Enrico**
Now, begin!
**[13:41] Chela**
I doubt a single word of that
speech was an exaggeration.
**[13:44] Chela**
Be careful, all of you.
**[13:47] Oliver**
Has anybody here done this before?
**[14:01] Chela**
That's the third one...
**[14:03] Chela**
Oliver, what about you?
**[14:06] Oliver**
No luck.
**[14:07] Oliver**
I've done everything I can,
but I can't get to the power source.
**[14:10] Oliver**
I'm out of ideas.
**[14:13] Oliver**
We'll give up on disarming it!
**[14:14] Oliver**
Get as far away as you can,
and protect yourselves!
**[14:16] Guy**
Crap!
**[14:19] Guy**
Pete!
**[14:29] Guy**
Oliver!
**[14:30] Oliver**
Don't move, Pete!
**[14:32] Oliver**
Stay where you are!
**[14:33] Enrico**
You didn't get one in time, huh?
**[14:36] Enrico**
I admire your perseverance, though!
**[14:39] Guy**
Sheesh...
**[14:40] Guy**
If I'd known it was just these guys,
I wouldn't have been so scared.
**[14:44] Katie**
Guy!
**[14:45] Guy**
Tonitrus!
**[14:54] Guy**
That's how we deal with them back home.
**[14:56] Guy**
You splash water on yourself, and then you
run electricity over the surface of your body.
**[15:01] Oliver**
Oh... I've never heard of that before.
**[15:05] Enrico**
Splendid!
**[15:07] Enrico**
Excellent work for your first day, everyone!
**[15:12] Enrico**
Allow me to give you a reward!
**[15:16] Enrico**
These also function as an antidote.
**[15:19] Enrico**
If you were bitten,
I recommend chowing down fast.
**[15:24] Katie**
He can't get away with this!
**[15:25] Katie**
You can't teach a class where you're
sure your students will be hurt!
**[15:28] Guy**
Knock it off.
**[15:29] Chela**
Yes, this is Kimberly, after all.
**[15:32] Pete**
I'm sorry, Oliver.
**[15:33] Oliver**
It's fine.
**[15:35] Oliver**
Anyway, I want to talk privately.
**[15:38] Oliver**
About how you've changed.
**[15:42] Oliver**
When I touched you earlier, I knew for sure.
**[15:45] Oliver**
You've switched sexes, haven't you?
**[15:48] Pete**
That's right.
**[15:50] Pete**
I had a weird dream, and when I woke up...
**[15:55] Pete**
I was like this.
**[15:57] Oliver**
I know this is rude, but I have to check.
**[15:59] Oliver**
Below the belt, too, right?
**[16:01] Pete**
Right.
**[16:03] Oliver**
Then that explains it.
**[16:04] Oliver**
You've got something that makes you
extremely rare, even in the world of magic.
**[16:08] Oliver**
You're a reversi: one who goes
back and forth between two sexes.
**[16:13] Oliver**
You've probably seen signs of this before.
**[16:15] Oliver**
For example, being unsure
of your sexual identity,
**[16:18] Oliver**
or feeling out of place among
friends of the same gender.
**[16:21] Oliver**
Congratulations, Pete.
**[16:23] Oliver**
For a magic user,
what you've got is truly a gift.
**[16:27] Pete**
Huh? A gift?
**[16:29] Oliver**
If you want to see for yourself...
**[16:31] Oliver**
Hmm, try shooting a lightning spell.
**[16:35] Oliver**
You've had trouble with those, right?
**[16:41] Pete**
Tonitrus!
**[16:46] Pete**
What is this?
**[16:47] Pete**
I've never had this kind of power...
**[16:50] Oliver**
The male and female sides
**[16:52] Oliver**
both have different elements
they're best with, I've heard.
**[16:55] Oliver**
You understand now, right?
**[16:56] Oliver**
You've gained something incredible, Pete.
**[17:01] Oliver**
Let's think about how to make the
best use of your gift. First...
**[17:06] Oliver**
Who's there?
**[17:07] Carlos**
Sorry. It's just me.
**[17:11] Oliver**
Upperclassman Whitrow?!
**[17:13] Carlos**
It's been a while. Sorry.
I didn't mean to overhear.
**[17:18] Oliver**
Yes. If you didn't want us to
notice you, we wouldn't have.
**[17:23] Carlos**
To tell the truth, I was
thinking it was about time.
**[17:27] Carlos**
I felt it when I first laid eyes
on you in the labyrinth.
**[17:31] Carlos**
And when I saw you today,
I was even more certain.
**[17:35] Carlos**
Mr. Horn has already told you
most of what I intended to.
**[17:40] Carlos**
But there's more you want to know, right?
**[17:45] Carlos**
Come to this gathering at 8:00 PM tonight.
**[17:57] Pete**
Sorry to make you come with me.
**[17:59] Oliver**
It's fine.
**[18:00] Oliver**
Even if it's just the first layer, it's not
smart to go into the labyrinth alone.
**[18:06] Oliver**
President Godfrey!
**[18:08] Godfrey**
Hey. I heard you're coming
to the same event as me.
**[18:15] Godfrey**
As the student body president,
**[18:16] Godfrey**
I do regular check-ins on events
that are held in the labyrinth.
**[18:20] Oliver**
You do?
**[18:22] Godfrey**
The incident in the colosseum,
what Miligan did after that...
**[18:26] Godfrey**
We should have been able to realize
something was wrong in advance and stop it.
**[18:31] Godfrey**
I know it's too late now, but I'm sorry.
**[18:34] Oliver**
No, it's fine.
**[18:37] Godfrey**
Mr. Reston, I'm told you're
from a nonmagical family.
**[18:41] Godfrey**
How are you finding life here?
**[18:44] Pete**
Well...
**[18:46] Godfrey**
You don't have to sugarcoat it.
**[18:47] Godfrey**
It's scary how dangerous it is, right?
**[18:49] Pete**
Yes.
**[18:50] Godfrey**
I thought the same thing at first.
**[18:53] Godfrey**
This place hasn't changed in five years.
**[18:55] Godfrey**
I've done everything I can to
help make it safer, but...
**[18:59] Godfrey**
I can't say how much of a
difference it's actually made.
**[19:02] Oliver**
*He really is a good person, isn't he?*
**[19:19] Godfrey**
This is a gathering for people
with sex-based magical traits.
**[19:24] Godfrey**
It's not just reversi—there are all
kinds of different people here.
**[19:28] Godfrey**
You'll be welcomed here, Mr. Reston.
**[19:32] Pete**
Um, sir...
**[19:33] Students**
Hello!
**[19:35] Students**
A new friend! Yahoo!
**[19:37] Students**
Stop it! Don't scare them!
**[19:39] Students**
So you're the new kid, huh?
**[19:42] Oliver**
Yes. This is Pete Reston, a first-year
who's just learned he's a reversi.
**[19:47] Oliver**
I'm Oliver Horn, accompanying him as a friend.
**[19:49] Oliver**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[19:54] Students**
You're so formal, Oliver!
**[19:56] Students**
Relax, Mr. Horn. You have no enemies here.
**[20:00] Students**
You're trying your best to
protect your friend, right?
**[20:03] Students**
Yeah, you're a good kid.
**[20:05] Oliver**
No, um...
**[20:06] Students**
You relax, too, Mr. Reston.
**[20:08] Students**
There's one hell of a show coming up!
**[20:11] Pete**
Show?
**[20:15] Students**
I've been waiting for this!
**[20:24] Oliver**
*Brother!*
**[20:27] Students**
Wow!
**[20:30] Whitrow**
Thanks for coming tonight, everyone!
**[20:33] Whitrow**
You've all got a lot to deal
with, right? I know I do.
**[20:39] Whitrow**
But don't worry. We're here to help,
so you can open up about everything.
**[20:45] Whitrow**
If you're feeling shy, I can
come to talk to you directly!
**[20:50] Whitrow**
First, enjoy our show!
**[21:17] Pete**
Oliver, this is...
**[21:19] Oliver**
An enchanted voice.
**[21:21] Oliver**
But it's not some kind of charm ability.
**[21:24] Oliver**
It's something simpler and more pure.
**[21:47] Pete**
I'm still worried...
**[21:49] Pete**
But I think I may be able
to deal with this new body.
**[21:57] Oliver**
What about our room in the dorm?
**[21:59] Oliver**
I can ask that you be given your own room.
**[22:03] Pete**
I don't want to even think about
spending the night alone at Kimberly.
**[22:08] Pete**
Let me stay with you for now.
**[22:11] Pete**
Please.
**[22:12] Oliver**
Yeah. Let me know whenever
there's anything I can do.
**[22:17] Pete**
Thanks, but...
**[22:20] Pete**
I'm going to put a curtain
between our beds, okay?
**[22:28] Oliver**
Sure.
**[22:56] Guy**
What?
**[22:57] Guy**
The two of you were off
practicing spells on your own?
**[23:00] Katie**
You disappeared without even having dessert!
**[23:02] Chela**
We were really worried.
**[23:05] Nanao**
The custard pudding was delicious!
**[23:08] Pete**
Oh, sorry.
**[23:10] Oliver**
It was my idea. Don't blame Pete.
**[23:13] Guy**
Oh, fine.
**[23:15] Guy**
Just let us know next time, okay?
**[23:16] Katie**
We saved you some pudding. Let's go.
**[23:22] Rossi**
Look at 'em go, all buddy-like.
**[23:25] Rossi**
It pisses me off.
