**[00:14] Nemo**
Faria?
**[00:16] Far**
The first librarian, Genius,
who sold his soul to Physis long ago...
**[00:22] Far**
To think you were the one
who formed a contract with him.
**[00:27] Ell**
The curse of the old library
locks a person in time
**[00:31] Ell**
and destroys their very existence.
**[00:34] Ell**
I suppose that was Genius's power.
**[00:37] Far**
I see now why Germain referred
to you as the Son of Destruction.
**[00:43] Gar**
That's right.
**[00:45] Far**
Gareth...
**[00:50] Gar**
The one using the power of Physis
to bring calamity to our school...
**[00:55] Gar**
It was *you*.
***SIGN*** Conviction -Punishment-
**[02:37] Gil**
Nemo's been fighting for us this whole time!
**[02:41] Gar**
These are the results of an investigation
by Sophitia and the board.
**[02:47] Gar**
Those three "artificial successors"
you met at Burgot Volcano...
**[02:52] Gar**
are fundamentally similar to Nemo.
**[02:56] Gar**
Meaning their comrade Nemo made
a contract with the cursed hero Genius
**[03:01] Gar**
and infiltrated the school.
**[03:03] Shir**
I'll admit he bears a resemblance
**[03:06] Shir**
to the hero from the old school records.
**[03:10] Gil**
But the curse of the old library
existed before Nemo ever showed up.
**[03:14] Gar**
The curse was sealed by Eunomia in the past.
**[03:20] Gar**
But...
**[03:21] Shir**
If present, Genius himself could release it!
**[03:25] Gar**
Precisely.
**[03:27] Gar**
The curse of the old library killed Claire.
**[03:31] Gar**
A curse that was once sealed away...
**[03:39] Jou**
I can't deny the weirdness kicked off
with Nemo's arrival.
**[03:43] Shir**
The dead dragon's revival,
**[03:45] Shir**
Gildan's possession,
**[03:47] Shir**
Physis's infiltration of the school...
**[03:50] Ell**
It's true he was here for all that.
**[03:53] Gil**
But it's still a big jump to assume
he caused it all!
**[03:58] Gil**
Nemo could be a victim of Physis, too.
**[04:01] Far**
An undeniable possibility.
**[04:03] Far**
That's why we're only confining him.
**[04:06] Gil**
What do you mean?
**[04:08] Shir**
If we release him now,
**[04:10] Shir**
it could ignite panic amongst the students.
**[04:14] Gil**
That's not what I'm after.
**[04:19] Gil**
I just want to know the truth.
**[04:25] Far**
His power is so immense... and so unusual.
**[04:32] Far**
Part of the reason I kept him close
was to get a better read on it.
**[04:37] Gil**
So that's that?!
**[04:39] Gil**
He's our friend, isn't he?
**[04:41] Jou**
Yes, he's our friend.
**[04:43] Jou**
But if he's really with Physis,
I gotta side with the school.
**[04:48] Shir**
Jou is right.
**[04:50] Ell**
I just go with the flow, so...
**[04:55] Gil**
Fine.
**[04:56] Gil**
Then I'll save Nemo myself.
**[05:04] Far**
Nemo...
**[05:12] Gar**
Don't even try to call Genius.
**[05:14] Gar**
That magic circle prevents succession.
**[05:17] Gar**
This dorm was partly founded as a prison
to seal in dangerous successors like you.
**[05:25] Nemo**
I have no intention of using my succession.
**[05:27] Nemo**
I don't want to fight any of you.
**[05:31] Gar**
Liar!
**[05:39] Gar**
Then what is the meaning
of that corrupt arm?!
**[05:43] Nemo**
It reflects my sin.
**[05:46] Gar**
Killing Claire?
**[05:48] Nemo**
No.
**[05:49] Nemo**
I had no part in her death.
**[05:52] Gar**
Then what's this "sin" you speak of?!
**[05:57] Nemo**
I am an artificial successor
created by Physis.
**[06:15] Nemo**
I was born in that base,
**[06:18] Nemo**
alongside many brothers and sisters...
**[06:42] (Flashback) Ger**
Number eight is a failure as well.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Ger**
I'm acting in accordance with the prophecy.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Ger**
Why is it not working?
**[06:49] (Flashback) Man**
I'll adjust the proportions of the bath.
**[06:52] (Flashback) Man**
We should be able to find a balance.
**[06:55] (Flashback) Ger**
We'll try that tomorrow.
**[06:58] (Flashback) Ger**
Now let us make haste.
**[07:02] Gen**
*Are you afraid of death?*
**[07:04] Nemo**
*Afraid?*
**[07:06] Gen**
*Fear is fundamental to humanity.*
**[07:08] Gen**
* It's what allows people*
* to love themselves and others.*
**[07:12] Nemo**
*Who are you?*
**[07:13] Nemo**
*What are you telling me?*
**[07:15] Gen**
*Speak thy heart's desire.*
**[07:20] Nemo**
*I want... to live!*
**[07:27] Gar**
So you became the boy named Nemo
and made your way here?
**[07:33] Nemo**
Because I wanted to be here.
**[07:36] Nemo**
With Faria and you all.
**[07:39] Far**
Nemo...
**[07:40] Gar**
That's it?
**[07:42] Gar**
You pretended to be human for *that?!*
**[07:47] Gar**
You expect me to believe you?
**[07:49] Nemo**
I don't blame you.
**[07:51] Nemo**
If I were you, I wouldn't believe it either.
**[07:55] Nemo**
So go ahead and kill me.
**[07:59] Nemo**
I don't want to fight any of you.
**[08:02] Gar**
In that case...
**[08:10] Gar**
No.
**[08:11] Gar**
I'll let you live for now.
**[08:14] Gar**
I'll only kill you when the appropriate
judgment has been reached.
**[08:25] Far**
I...
**[08:30] Shir**
Hey, Ellen...
**[08:32] Shir**
What do you really think?
**[08:34] Ell**
About Nemo?
You doubted him too, didn't you?
**[08:39] Shir**
But the timing seems too convenient.
**[08:42] Shir**
I understand how Gareth feels, but...
**[08:45] Ell**
Stop right there.
**[08:47] Shir**
But...
**[08:48] Ell**
If you say any more,
you'll fall under suspicion, too.
**[08:53] Ell**
We don't want that, now do we,
**[08:55] Ell**
head of the disciplinary committee?
**[08:59] Shir**
Still, Nemo risked his life to save me.
**[09:04] Shir**
So I should return the favor.
**[09:07] Ell**
Ah, I get it now.
**[09:08] Ell**
Nemo's important to you.
**[09:11] Shir**
I...
**[09:13] Ell**
It's okay. As you know,
I just go with the flow.
**[09:18] Shir**
You really are devious.
**[09:25] Shir**
*So very devious...*
**[09:32] Gil**
Jou.
**[09:34] Jou**
Trying the student affairs committee, huh?
**[09:36] Jou**
I forgot you were close
with the vice chairman.
**[09:40] Gil**
There's no way that Nemo
is working for Physis.
**[09:43] Gil**
I'll do whatever it takes to save him.
**[09:49] Jou**
Let's have a little chat.
**[09:56] Jou**
You and I go way back.
**[09:59] Jou**
I remember how freakin' terrified
you were on your first deployment.
**[10:01] Jou**
Never thought we'd get ourselves
a real prince in the Seven Knights.
**[10:05] Gil**
And who was it that got his butt saved
by a terrified prince on that deployment?
**[10:11] Jou**
Me.
**[10:14] Gil**
Hey... you didn't bring me out here
to reminisce about old times.
**[10:20] Jou**
Let's talk about Nemo.
**[10:22] Gil**
We know that Nemo's a good guy.
**[10:25] Gil**
How is that not enough?
**[10:28] Jou**
Don't forget that Physis killed
my dad, our classmates, and Claire.
**[10:34] Gil**
I hate Physis just as much.
**[10:37] Gil**
But you're just assuming
that he's one of them.
**[10:42] Jou**
You saw his arm.
**[10:44] Jou**
That was...
**[10:45] Gil**
My ears aren't human, either.
**[10:48] Gil**
That doesn't make me part of Physis.
**[10:52] Jou**
I get it.
**[10:53] Jou**
I know he's a good guy.
**[10:55] Jou**
But...
**[10:57] Jou**
I...
**[10:59] Jou**
have this feeling he's been
lying to us all this time.
**[11:09] Far**
Tell me now, Lady Eunomia.
**[11:12] Far**
What happened in the old library?
**[11:16] Eu**
*Behold, Faria.*
**[11:21] Far**
That's... the same curse
that affected Claire!
**[11:24] Far**
So Genius did the same to you?
**[11:28] Eu**
*If you dig any deeper into the truth,*
**[11:31] Eu**
*you will surely be affected as well.*
**[11:34] Eu**
* Are you prepared to risk*
* everything to save him?*
**[11:39] Far**
I want...
**[11:42] Far**
I want to help Nemo.
**[11:44] Far**
I can't bear to see him executed.
**[11:48] Far**
Lady Eunomia!
**[11:52] Eu**
*Is there no doubt in those words?*
**[11:56] Far**
None.
**[11:58] Eu**
*Then I shall take you*
**[12:01] Eu**
*back to where it all began.*
**[12:04] Eu**
*To the one who holds the answers you seek.*
**[12:28] Far**
Where it all began...
**[12:35] Far**
A book?
**[12:43] Far**
*Is this... the truth?*
**[12:56] Teach**
I-I don't know what you want from me.
**[12:59] Teach**
It was the student council that
first placed suspicion on him...
**[13:04] Gil**
But it's *just* suspicion.
**[13:05] Teach**
My job is to respect the rules,
not to break them.
**[13:13] Gil**
I'm not asking you to break any rules.
**[13:17] Teach**
R-Really, Gildan...
**[13:20] Gil**
Sir,
**[13:21] Gil**
you made a bad investment and
have a lot of outstanding debt, no?
**[13:25] Teach**
Where did you learn that?
**[13:27] Gil**
A prince has his ways.
**[13:31] Gil**
Now, I think my country can
help you out of your jam.
**[13:39] Teach**
I-I'll do what I can.
**[13:42] Teach**
But I can't guarantee anything
more than that.
**[13:46] Gil**
Thanks so much!
**[13:53] Gil**
What is it, chairwoman?
**[13:55] Gil**
Were you listening in?
**[13:57] Shir**
Indeed.
**[13:58] Gil**
I don't think what I'm doing is wrong.
**[14:02] Shir**
I know.
**[14:05] Shir**
Justice always triumphs.
**[14:07] Shir**
But *whose* justice? That's the question.
**[14:11] Gil**
Shirley?
**[14:12] Shir**
So I'm going to make sure
it is *our* justice that triumphs.
**[14:19] Gil**
Right!
**[14:26] Jou**
Damn it. I...
**[14:33] Soph**
Are you feeling in doubt?
**[14:36] Jou**
Miss Sophitia!
**[14:38] Soph**
I'd be happy to hear your troubles.
**[14:42] Jou**
Y-Yeah...
**[14:44] Jou**
I don't know what to do.
**[14:47] Jou**
He might be with Physis.
**[14:49] Jou**
But he's also a good guy.
**[14:56] Jou**
M-Miss Sophitia?!
**[14:58] Soph**
You're so nice, Jou.
**[15:03] Soph**
Personally...
**[15:06] Soph**
I believe a nice boy like you
could save us all.
**[15:12] Jou**
Please stop!
**[15:14] Sof**
Jou...
**[15:15] Jou**
I-I mean... I'll do all I can
to protect you, Miss Sophitia.
**[15:20] Jou**
So just leave things to me.
**[15:24] Sof**
You're exactly the man I hoped you were.
**[15:40] Nemo**
*When I became Nemo...*
**[15:52] (Flashback) Fb**
Are you all right?
**[15:53] (Flashback) Fb**
Who are you?
**[16:04] Far**
This is the house where Nemo was born.
**[16:41] Song**
Little bugs who—
**[16:53] Song**
Is this...
**[16:58] Song**
You're...
**[16:59] Song**
Reda of Physis!
**[17:02] Reda**
I almost had you.
**[17:04] Reda**
I should've known the Seven Knights
would track me down!
**[17:07] Far**
You're wrong. I'm—
**[17:08] Red**
Shut up!
**[17:12] Far**
Succession!
**[17:16] Reda**
I can't afford to die here!
**[17:48] Far**
Purification Thunderfire!
**[17:55] Far**
That's enough.
**[17:57] Far**
Give yourself up.
**[17:59] Red**
Are you mad?
**[18:01] Red**
I know what you do to people like me.
**[18:07] Red**
If I'm going to be humiliated
and executed anyway, I'd rather...
**[18:12] Far**
You still have that much strength?
**[18:14] Red**
Irene! Grant me power!
**[18:22] Ir**
*Cursed child.*
**[18:24] Ir**
* You whose life was forged*
* hand-in-hand with rage.*
**[18:27] Ir**
*I acknowledge your anger.*
**[18:37] Reda**
I...
**[18:38] Reda**
I'm not dying yet!
**[18:41] Reda**
Irene!
**[18:47] Ir**
*Fight. Set your soul ablaze!*
**[18:52] Ir**
*That fire shall make you a true warrior!*
**[19:00] Far**
Wait! You're—
**[19:02] Red**
Silence!
**[19:14] Gar**
So you refuse to tell us anything?
**[19:17] Nemo**
I'm sorry.
**[19:18] Nemo**
I really don't know anything.
**[19:21] Gar**
He's made his statement.
**[19:22] Gar**
He has no intention of confessing.
**[19:25] Gar**
I suggest we execute him to contain
any further spread of the curse.
**[19:31] Soph**
I suppose we have no choice.
**[19:33] Jou**
I agree with Miss Sophitia.
**[19:37] Man**
I approve.
**[19:38] Man**
This is for the sake of the Empire of Light
**[19:40] Man**
and the peace of our lands.
**[19:43] Shir**
Wait!
**[19:45] Gar**
Shirley?!
**[19:46] Jou**
Both of you!
**[19:51] Shir**
An imperial order from the mainland.
**[19:53] Shir**
A stay of execution.
**[19:55] ---**
What?
**[19:56] Shir**
You lack evidence, Gareth.
**[19:58] Gar**
Is this the will of the
disciplinary committee?
**[20:01] Shir**
It is *my* will.
**[20:04] Gil**
Headmaster, you cannot defy
the empire's decree!
**[20:07] Gil**
Please reconsider this!
**[20:10] Man**
Wh-What do you think, headmaster?
**[20:14] Soph**
The order has arrived too late.
**[20:19] Shir**
No!
**[20:20] Man**
I see.
**[20:23] Jou**
So that's the deal, huh?
**[20:26] Soph**
I shall take responsibility for the fallout.
**[20:29] Soph**
We must destroy him now.
**[20:35] Far**
Wait!
**[20:38] Gil**
President!
**[20:40] Gar**
What is the meaning of this?
**[20:42] Far**
I have learned the truth.
**[20:44] Far**
And it's made something clear.
**[20:47] Gar**
What?
**[20:50] Far**
Do you know what this is?
**[20:55] Nemo**
That's...
**[20:57] Far**
It's a memento of Nemo's, the boy you killed.
**[21:01] Shir**
Nemo...
**[21:03] Gil**
...killed Nemo?
**[21:04] Far**
You killed the real Nemo
and came to this school.
**[21:10] Jou**
Then Nemo really *is* working for Physis!
**[21:17] Nemo**
That's right, Faria.
**[21:19] Nemo**
I killed him, stealing his form and memories.
**[21:30] Far**
You finally admitted it.
**[21:34] Nemo**
Then kill me now, Faria.
**[21:38] Nemo**
This will end it all.
**[21:42] Far**
Don't be ridiculous, Nemo.
**[21:48] Far**
I told you...
**[21:51] Far**
that I would protect you!
**[23:25] Far**
I won't let you have Nemo.
**[23:27] Gar**
President... You can't be serious!
**[23:29] Far**
Oh, but I am.
**[23:29] Far**
I'm always serious!
**[23:31] Nemo**
Faria...
**[23:32] Reda**
The real fight is about to start, Nemo.
**[23:35] Far**
Next time: "Counterattack."
**[23:36] Sign**
Reprisal -Counterattack-
**[23:37] Nemo**
I'm not giving up yet!
