[00:03] Oliver
    I'm back.
[00:13] Oliver
    Pete? Are you okay, Pete?!
SIGN    Reign of the Seven Spellblades
[01:55] Oliver
    This is a healing art.
[01:57] Oliver
    I'm sending my mana inside you to adjust
    the manaflow within your body.
[02:01] Oliver
    It won't cure the root cause,
    but it should help.
[02:05] Pete
    I feel so much better...
[02:08] Oliver
    Your body isn't used to handling magic
    while it's in its female form.
[02:12] Oliver
    You need to learn to direct its flow.
[02:16] Oliver
    Like this.
[02:18] Oliver
    Relax, Pete, please.
[02:20] Oliver
    There's nothing to be worried about.
[02:22] Pete
    Have you done this stuff before?
[02:25] Oliver
    Yeah.
[02:26] Oliver
    A disrupted manaflow
    is actually fairly common.
[02:30] Oliver
    It can result from sickness, puberty,
[02:33] Oliver
    and...
[02:37] Shannon
    That feels good.
[02:39] Shannon
    Thank you, Noll...
[02:44] Pete
    Hey, are you still doing that?
[02:48] Oliver
    Oh, sorry.
[02:50] Oliver
    How do you feel?
[02:51] Pete
    Like I was never in pain at all.
[02:53] Oliver
    Good.
[02:55] Oliver
    But you should know it'll keep happening
    until your body gets used to the change.
[02:59] Oliver
    I'm sleeping right next to you,
    so don't hesitate to call if you need me.
[03:06] Pete
    Don't just pat me on the head like that.
[03:08] Oliver
    Sorry. I couldn't help myself.
[03:11] Pete
    W-We have to get up early tomorrow.
[03:13] Pete
    Let's get to bed.
[03:17] Oliver
    Pete.
[03:18] Oliver
    It's going to be hard to keep this a secret
    from everybody for much longer.
[03:27] Katie
    A reversi?
[03:28] Katie
    Wow, that's incredible!
[03:30] Chela
    That's something rare and special.
[03:32] Chela
    Congratulations, Pete.
[03:34] Pete
    I'm not sure "congratulations"
    is the right word.
[03:37] Pete
    I have no idea how I'm supposed to use this.
[03:40] Chela
    Hm...
[03:42] Chela
    I'll give you one thing
    you can use right away.
[03:46] Pete
    Where are you touching me?
[03:47] Chela
    Don't be embarrassed. Just listen.
[03:49] Chela
    By taking a female form, you've gained
    an organ you didn't have before.
[03:54] Chela
    Yes, your womb.
[03:57] Chela
    They sometimes call a witch's womb
    her "second heart."
[04:01] Chela
    It's one of the best places
    to store your mana.
[04:04] Pete
    Store my mana...?
[04:06] Chela
    When the rest of the body's mana runs out,
[04:08] Chela
    it will open on its own and supply you
    with all the mana you put into it.
[04:12] Chela
    You'll also learn to open
    and close it, with training.
[04:15] Chela
    Let me show you how to open it.
[04:22] Pete
    Wh-What is this?
[04:24] Pete
    This power...
[04:27] Chela
    That's the stored mana being released.
[04:30] Chela
    You'll see an increase in mana output
    of several dozen percent.
[04:32] Chela
    The strength of your magic
    will increase, as well.
[04:37] Chela
    I've closed it again.
[04:39] Chela
    Well?
[04:40] Chela
    See? The female form's not so bad, is it?
[04:43] Nanao
    I see... The womb...
[04:45] Nanao
    I suppose I, too, am a woman.
    Can I do that, as well?
[04:50] Oliver
    Put your skirt down, Nanao!
[04:51] Katie
    Hey, Pete! Any interest in fancy clothes?
[04:55] Katie
    I've always thought you'd look
    good in something lacy!
[04:57] Katie
    Let's get you a bunch of outfits to try on!
[04:59] Pete
    I refuse!
[05:01] Rossi
    I see you fellas are having fun, as usual.
[05:05] Pete
    Him!
[05:06] Rossi
    Say, don't get so tense.
    I'm just here to complain.
[05:10] Katie
    Complain?
[05:11] Rossi
    I've been on a losing streak
    ever since our fight, see.
[05:13] Rossi
    I've learned just how much
    I really suck, and I'm done.
[05:16] Rossi
    I forfeit.
[05:18] Oliver
    You fought someone else after you fought me?
[05:21] Rossi
    Take care, Oliver.
[05:23] Rossi
    Some of those fellas are real bad news.
[05:26] Rossi
    Ya get any stronger, glasses?
[05:28] Rossi
    I'm looking forward to this afternoon's class.
[05:31] Rossi
    See ya!
[05:34] Garland
    Okay, next!
[05:36] Pete
    Ready!
[05:38] Stacy
    I'm going to pay you back
    for how you humiliated me.
[05:43] Katie
    She seems like she's in a bad mood.
[05:45] Katie
    Was she mad at Pete about something?
[05:48] Garland
    Even if you score a point,
    keep fighting until time is up.
[05:53] Garland
    Now... Begin!
[05:56] Oliver
    Try and keep your cool, Pete!
[05:57] Oliver
    Start by focusing on landing a hit on her!
[06:00] Stacy
    I guess he doesn't think I'm that strong, huh?
[06:03] Stacy
    Come and get me, ordinary.
[06:09] Stacy
    Stand up.
[06:11] Stacy
    There's still time left.
[06:19] Stacy
    You're completely worthless at this.
[06:21] Guy
    Pete, calm down!
[06:23] Guy
    You can use spells in this match!
[06:27] Stacy
    Fool.
[06:28] Stacy
    You think you can best me with magic?
[06:33] Pete
    Tonitrus!
[06:36] Katie
    He's not using his reversi powers?
[06:38] Katie
    If he uses them...
[06:39] Chela
    No, he's not at that point yet.
[06:43] Stacy
    Are you even trying to aim?
[06:46] Stacy
    Tonitrus!
[06:53] Stacy
    Now you understand, right?
[06:55] Stacy
    This is the difference between you and me.
[06:57] Stacy
    Don't get so full of yourself just
    because you got a bit of attention.
[07:03] Stacy
    You read every volume, you say?
[07:05] Stacy
    You embarrassed me
    in front of Uncle Theodore!
[07:12] Katie
    I can't watch him get beaten like this!
[07:15] Oliver
    No, Pete hasn't given up yet.
[07:18] Oliver
    And we don't know for sure
    that he's going to lose.
[07:20] Oliver
    Ms. Cornwallis underestimates Pete.
[07:24] Oliver
    That gives him an opening!
[07:31] Stacy
    Tonitrus!
[07:44] Garland
    Time's up!
[07:45] Garland
    That's enough!
[07:49] Garland
    Bow, and make room for the next pair.
[07:57] Katie
    You did great, Pete!
[08:00] Pete
    I didn't land a single hit.
[08:04] Oliver
    You don't need to cry.
[08:05] Oliver
    You did great not giving up!
[08:07] Chela
    Yes.
[08:08] Chela
    Your Rizett-style sword art,
    the Hero's Charge.
[08:11] Chela
    You almost landed it.
[08:14] Stacy
    Did you teach him that, Michela?
[08:16] Stacy
    Are you willing to go that
    far to humiliate me?
[08:19] Stacy
    You make me so mad!
[08:23] Chela
    Ms. Cornwallis...
[08:27] Guy
    Don't let it get you down.
[08:29] Guy
    You almost had her.
[08:30] Rossi
    Almost, but a loss is a loss.
[08:34] Rossi
    But, well... Ya did better
    than most, glasses.
[08:42] Rossi
    I guess I'll start learning
    from the basics, too, then.
[08:46] Rossi
    Let's give these traditional
    schools of yers a shot!
[08:53] Katie
    How are you feeling?
[08:57] Katie
    I wish they'd give you a
    nicer place to stay...
[09:03] Katie
    A familiar?
SIGN    Reign of the Seven Spellblades
[09:15] Guy
    Are you nuts?
[09:18] Guy
    This was Miligan's old workshop, right?
[09:21] Guy
    I know she said you could have it, but...
[09:24] Katie
    She says it's her way
    of apologizing, though!
[09:27] Katie
    And this is about the only way for a
    first-year to get a workshop, right?
[09:31] Katie
    Don't you guys all want a secret base, too?
[09:34] Guy
    Well, yeah...
[09:36] Chela
    Listen to me, Katie.
[09:37] Chela
    While you're still learning
    to protect yourself,
[09:39] Chela
    the risks of venturing into the labyrinth
[09:41] Chela
    outweigh the benefits of
    having your own workshop.
[09:44] Chela
    You know that, right?
[09:47] Oliver
    I think it's too soon, too.
[09:55] Katie
    Eight hundred and twenty per year.
[09:58] Katie
    Do you know what that figure is?
[10:01] Katie
    It's the rate at which they kill
    demi-humans here at the academy.
[10:06] Katie
    The way they treat magical
    fauna here is terrible.
[10:10] Katie
    They kill them for nothing.
[10:12] Katie
    I want to change that!
[10:15] Katie
    First, I want to make a name
    for myself as a researcher.
[10:18] Katie
    Which means I want a place
    where I can raise magical fauna
[10:21] Katie
    without having to answer to anyone.
[10:23] Oliver
    And that's why you want a workshop?
[10:25] Katie
    Yes.
[10:26] Katie
    I know I can't do it all on my own.
[10:28] Katie
    That's why I need all of you!
[10:30] Katie
    Will you help me run my workshop?
[10:32] Katie
    You'll be doing me a huge favor!
[10:35] Nanao
    I'm in.
[10:37] Nanao
    This workshop is akin
    to your own castle, right?
[10:42] Nanao
    So it's my job as a warrior to protect it!
[10:46] Katie
    Nanao...
[10:47] Nanao
    There's a light that shines in your eyes.
[10:50] Nanao
    And someday, I hope to be able to see
    that light illuminate the darkness!
[10:57] Katie
    Nanao!
[10:59] Chela
    I agree.
[11:01] Chela
    Standing beside and supporting a friend
    who's trying to move forward...
[11:05] Chela
    That's what a good friend should do.
[11:08] Guy
    I'm in, too.
[11:09] Pete
    I'll do whatever everyone else does.
[11:11] Pete
    You'll give me a spot to put my books, right?
[11:19] Oliver
    The safety of everyone
    in this group comes first.
[11:25] Oliver
    If you can promise to stick to that,
[11:28] Oliver
    then what are we waiting for?
[11:31] Oliver
    First, let's go inspect it together.
[11:33] Oliver
    It's the weekend.
[11:35] Oliver
    We'll go tomorrow night, and stay
    there overnight if we have to.
[11:39] Oliver
    How about it?
[11:42] Oliver
    You brought your broom?
[11:44] Oliver
    There's nowhere here where you can fly.
[11:47] Nanao
    For now, I just want us to spend
    as much time together as possible.
[11:53] Nanao
    It can have a mind of its own sometimes...
[11:56] Oliver
    Yeah...
[11:58] Guy
    Make sure we're on the right path.
[12:00] Guy
    I don't want to get lost here.
[12:03] Katie
    It's fine! It's fine!
[12:05] Katie
    When we're together, nothing can scare us!
[12:07] Oliver
    I don't want to spoil the mood,
[12:09] Oliver
    but to be honest, there's all kinds of
    scary things down here in the labyrinth.
[12:13] Oliver
    Magical beast attacks,
    getting caught in a trap and injured,
[12:16] Oliver
    getting into fights with other students...
[12:18] Chela
    We definitely don't want to run into
    any nasty upperclassmen down here.
[12:23] Oliver
    If we do get lost somehow...
[12:27] Katie
    A nest of ball mice!
[12:30] Guy
    Stop.
[12:47] Guy
    There sure are a lot of magical
    fauna on this route.
[12:51] Katie
    A-Are there?
[12:52] Katie
    It feels pretty normal to me.
[12:53] Guy
    I knew it! You picked this
    route deliberately...
[12:57] Katie
    Wait.
[12:59] Katie
    This place might be just a little dangerous.
[13:01] Guy
    Dangerous how, specifically?
[13:08] Katie
    Like that, specifically.
[13:09] Guy
    That's more than a "little" dangerous!
[13:11] Oliver
    It's filled with bowshells?
[13:12] Katie
    Their spines aren't big enough to kill you.
[13:16] Katie
    They might just hurt... a lot.
[13:19] Pete
    How do we get through here?
[13:21] Katie
    They'll go to sleep right away
    if you use a special incense.
[13:26] Katie
    Flamma.
[13:28] Katie
    Impetus.
[13:31] Katie
    Okay, now just wait a little.
[13:34] Guy
    She came prepared.
[13:37] Nanao
    Something's coming from behind us...
[13:41] Oliver
    No! A trap!
[13:43] Katie
    But the incense hasn't...
[13:44] Oliver
    There's no time to waste! Go!
[13:57] Katie
    We made it through okay!
[13:59] Guy
    M-My butt didn't!
[14:06] Katie
    That hwurts!
[14:08] Oliver
    I feel bad for Guy, but let's just
    call it a learning experience..
[14:13] Katie
    I-I smell something!
[14:15] Guy
    Don't change the subject!
    My stabbed butt demands justice!
[14:18] Nanao
    I do smell something fragrant...
[14:30] Oliver
    Um...
[14:35] Girl
    Oh, freshmen?
[14:37] Oliver
    Um, what is this?
[14:40] Kevin
    The Labyrinth Gourmet Club's
    new-member-welcoming BBQ!
[14:44] Kevin
    Want to join in?
[14:46] Student
    I found a really big leech!
[14:49] Student
    Can we eat this?
[14:50] Kevin
    We have a brave soul among us!
[14:52] Kevin
    Sure, throw it on the fire
    and see what happens!
[14:54] Student
    My vision's going kinda hazy.
[14:57] Student
    Is it that mushroom I ate?
[14:58] Kevin
    That's exactly right!
    Hurry and take this antidote.
[15:01] Kevin
    Otherwise, you'll start
    vomiting up blood and die!
[15:04] Oliver
    Sorry, but we'll pass!
[15:05] Oliver
    Enjoy your BBQ!
[15:08] Katie
    Who were those weirdos?
[15:12] Guy
    They're pretty famous...
[15:14] Chela
    The one who invited us to join in
    is especially famous.
[15:18] Chela
    They call him the Survivor.
[15:20] Oliver
    Oh, so that's Kevin Walker?
[15:22] Guy
    Seriously?
[15:24] Guy
    I should've talked with him more!
[15:26] Katie
    Huh, is he that big a deal?
[15:28] Chela
    He sure is.
[15:30] Chela
    He went missing for six months
    in the depths of the labyrinth,
[15:33] Chela
    and then came back alive
    after they'd already held his funeral.
[15:37] Guy
    He spent six months down here? No way!
[15:39] Oliver
    Maybe we should've taken him up
    on his offer to join the BBQ.
[15:44] Chela
    That's what they call a BBQ?
[15:47] Guy
    You've never been to one before?
[15:48] Guy
    Let's have one, then.
[15:50] Katie
    But where will we get the ingredients?
[15:52] Pamela
    Well, I'll be! Welcome!
[15:54] Pamela
    You guys all first-years?
[15:55] Pamela
    You shouldn't be gettin' used
    to bein' out here this late!
[16:00] Pamela
    Still, I'll take all the customers I can get!
[16:05] Pamela
    Now, what can I do ya for?
[16:08] Pamela
    Just want something to fill your belly?
[16:10] Pamela
    Or the ingredients for a big ol' party?
[16:11] Oliver
    Somewhere in the middle of those two.
[16:14] Oliver
    We'd prefer something that tastes good.
[16:21] Pamela
    Take it.
[16:22] Pamela
    You're first-time shoppers,
    so I'll cut you a big discount.
[16:25] Pamela
    Just 3,000 belc for six people!
[16:28] Oliver
    All this?
[16:29] Pamela
    I like how incredibly reckless you are!
[16:32] Pamela
    I want you to survive and become regulars.
[16:35] Pamela
    Well, even if you don't, you'll
    just end up on my store shelves.
[16:42] Pamela
    Hey, I'm just jokin' around!
[16:44] Pamela
    Here, I'll throw in drinks, too!
[16:46] Guy
    Are we there yet? I'm getting tired.
[16:50] Katie
    Just a little more, I think.
[16:52] Katie
    Once we're down this hill...
[16:55] Katie
    Here? I think this is it!
[16:58] Katie
    It is!
[16:59] Katie
    Um... Um, it's a sardine head...
    No, a herring head, so...
[17:03] Katie
    Caput allec!
[17:11] Katie
    Come on in!
[17:13] Katie
    This is our secret base!
[17:19] Oliver
    This place is great!
[17:21] Katie
    There's more!
[17:32] Pete
    What? We get to use all this?
[17:35] Katie
    Of course!
[17:36] Katie
    For a workshop on the
    first floor of the labyrinth,
[17:38] Katie
    it's one of the better ones, apparently!
[17:41] Chela
    We can start using it as
    a workshop right away.
[17:43] Guy
    I guess it was worth the butt-stabbing...
[17:47] Guy
    How are we laying it all out?
[17:48] Katie
    No need to rush.
[17:50] Katie
    Let's list what everyone wants to do.
[17:52] Katie
    What about you, Oliver?
[17:53] Oliver
    I'll probably be using this as my base
    to search the labyrinth, for now.
[17:59] Oliver
    I want to make sure I can
    use it as a safe house, too.
[18:01] Guy
    Sounds like a real secret base!
[18:04] Guy
    A base needs to have good defenses!
[18:06] Guy
    Let's put traps around it!
[18:08] Pete
    Maybe ones that stab you in the butt?
[18:10] Guy
    Pete, you asshole!
[18:15] Oliver
    That was so much food...
[18:17] Oliver
    It really was good.
[18:19] Oliver
    Guy's BBQ, and Katie's stews, too.
[18:22] Guy
    It's not the fanciest cooking,
    but it's not bad, right?
[18:25] Guy
    Feels like we're camping.
[18:27] Katie
    Was it not to your liking?
[18:30] Chela
    No, I'm sorry... Um...
[18:33] Chela
    It was just so good, and so much fun
    to eat, that it felt strange.
[18:37] Chela
    I've never felt like this before.
[18:41] Chela
    Um... I have a proposal.
[18:45] Chela
    Why don't we give it a name?
[18:47] Oliver
    A name?
[18:49] Guy
    Give what a name?
[18:51] Chela
    Our little group of six.
[18:53] Chela
    It's just been so much fun that I want
    to make it something special.
[18:58] Chela
    This moment... This space... This group...
[19:03] Chela
    I want to give it a name so that it will last.
[19:06] Chela
    Is that strange?
[19:08] Guy
    No, not at all.
[19:10] Guy
    It's a little high-falutin', but that's okay.
[19:13] Katie
    A name for our group?
[19:15] Katie
    I'd never even thought of that.
[19:18] Katie
    Hey, Pete, what do you think
    would be a good name?
[19:20] Pete
    Huh?
[19:20] Pete
    I can't just come up with
    something on the spot...
[19:29] Nanao
    May I ask you all to come here
    and draw your blades?
[19:39] Nanao
    Form a circle, and hold
    your swords out straight,
[19:44] Nanao
    so that they all overlap.
[19:50] Nanao
    In my homeland, we call this a sword rose.
[19:57] Nanao
    It's a symbol of the bonds between warriors.
[20:00] Pete
    Wow, so it's from Azia...
[20:02] Katie
    Do we all swear to be friends
    forever or something?
[20:05] Nanao
    Nay. We swear no vow.
[20:08] Nanao
    We simply remember the shape
    of the rose that bloomed here.
[20:15] Nanao
    Warriors cannot speak of the future.
[20:18] Nanao
    All they can do is try their best to
    burn the present into their minds.
[20:24] Nanao
    No matter what the future holds,
[20:26] Nanao
    the rose we brought together here and now
[20:30] Nanao
    can never be torn apart.
[20:33] Nanao
    And thus, I wish to name us the Sword Roses!
[20:39] Oliver
    The Sword Roses...
[20:41] Oliver
    It's a little violent,
    but I think it's a good name.
[20:49] Chela
    All flowers bloom without fear of dying.
[20:53] Chela
    Let us be the same.
[20:55] Chela
    The brief moments we share together
    will be prouder than any eternity.
[21:01] Guy
    Pete, your face is bright red.
[21:03] Pete
    Yours is, too!
[21:05] Chela
    I'm sorry.
[21:06] Chela
    I just couldn't control my feelings.
[21:09] Oliver
    I like it.
[21:11] Oliver
    Maybe the embarrassment is part of what
    makes this moment unforgettable.
[21:16] Katie
    Chela, is this something special,
    like you wanted?
[21:19] Chela
    More special than anything!
[21:21] Chela
    From this moment onward,
    we are the Sword Roses!
[21:27] Oliver
    I'll burn this image into my mind,
    so that its colors will never fade.
[23:09] Stacy
    I'm amazed you decided to participate,
    as weak as you are.
[23:16] Stacy
    Where've you been, Fay?
[23:18] Fay
    I heard something interesting.
[23:20] Fay
    Michela and her friends are
    in the labyrinth right now.
[23:25] Stacy
    The labyrinth?
[23:27] Stacy
    Really? That's perfect.
