**[00:03] Stu**
Did you finish that assignment?
**[00:05] Stu**
Let's grab cutlet sandwiches after class.
**[00:08] Stu**
It's the student council president!
**[00:09] Ell**
President Faria!
**[00:11] Ell**
I need to submit the documentation
to the Railroad Committee.
**[00:14] Far**
Sorry to make you handle
all the paperwork, Ellen.
**[00:17] Ell**
Oh, not at all!
**[00:19] Ell**
I much prefer routine work.
**[00:22] Nemo**
Documentation?
**[00:24] Faria**
Because we destroyed the train.
**[00:26] Nemo**
Are you in trouble?
**[00:28] Far**
Listen to me.
**[00:30] Far**
It was a small price to pay for you, Nemo.
**[00:34] Far**
There's nothing more
valuable than human life.
**[00:39] Jo**
Incoming, incoming!
**[00:40] Jo**
Clear the way!
**[00:46] Jo**
Hey there, President.
**[00:48] Far**
Jou, that cart...
**[00:50] Jo**
Oh, this is the Physis dragon
that was ravaging Midland.
**[00:54] Jo**
Eatin' people, burnin' forests...
**[00:57] Nemo**
Physis?
**[00:58] Fari**
This dragon serves them.
**[01:01] Nemo**
You took care of it yourself?
**[01:04] Jo**
Sure did! It was easy, too.
**[01:08] Far**
This is Jou Tsurugi.
**[01:11] Far**
Successor to Spike, the hero
with a heart of blazing ice.
**[01:16] Jo**
That makes me the strongest
of the Seven Knights.
**[01:21] Nemo**
But... isn't this a living thing, too?
**[01:25] Jo**
It serves Physis.
**[01:27] Jo**
There's no telling how many
thousands it's killed.
**[01:30] Nemo**
Oh, yeah. I guess you're right.
**[01:34] Nemo**
I'm sorry.
**[01:34] Jo**
Now make way.
**[01:36] Jo**
Gotta get this to the Alchemy Research
Institute for testing before it thaws.
**[01:42] Jo**
Okay, I'm off! Here I go!
**[01:48] Nemo**
He's quite something, isn't he?
**[01:50] Fa**
He's a member of our student
council, the Seven Knights.
**[01:54] Nemo**
The Seven Knights...
**[03:34] Sign**
Chance Encounter -Granseed-
**[03:43] Gar**
An emergency meeting implies trouble afoot.
**[03:47] Gar**
Have you heard anything, Shirley?
**[03:50] Shir**
No. I suspect it's another of our
president's trademark whims, Gareth.
**[03:54] Girl**
Our president's such a slavedriver.
**[03:58] Gar**
This is about the recent increase
in Physis activity, I suppose.
**[04:01] Jo**
Gildan, you mind?
**[04:03] Gil**
Go for it!
**[04:04] Jo**
Thanks.
**[04:06] Shir**
Show some table manners.
**[04:09] Jo**
Food tastes better when
you eat with your hands!
**[04:17] Fa**
I see we're all present.
**[04:20] Gar**
Who's the human?
**[04:22] Nemo**
U-Um...
**[04:24] Jo**
Say, I know you!
**[04:26] Far**
Allow me to introduce you.
**[04:28] Far**
This is Nemo.
**[04:29] Far**
He's just come to Granseed.
**[04:32] Far**
He's a new student, and the latest
member of the Seven Knights.
**[04:38] Jo**
A new member?!
**[04:40] Gil**
No way!
**[04:41] Shir**
President.
**[04:42] Shir**
This is no joking matter.
**[04:44] Shir**
The Seven Knights are—
**[04:46] Far**
The greatest of Granseed's successors,
**[04:49] Far**
and the protectors of the world.
**[04:51] Gar**
And you believe this distracted
young man is worthy of the name?
**[04:56] Shir**
Unacceptable.
**[04:58] Shir**
A new student with
no practical battle experience?
**[05:01] Shir**
Ellen, why didn't you put a stop to this?
**[05:04] El**
You know me. I like to go with the flow.
**[05:09] El**
I defer completely to
the president on such matters.
**[05:12] Jo**
I'm with Shirley.
**[05:14] Jo**
C'mon! A man's only as good as his muscles!
**[05:17] Jo**
You need a finely honed vessel
for a hero to dwell in!
**[05:22] Jo**
Right, Gildan? Gareth?
**[05:24] Jo**
You agree, don't you?
**[05:25] Gil**
Y-Yeah, I dunno...
I'm not much for muscles myself.
**[05:30] Gar**
Elves place little value on musculature.
**[05:33] Jo**
Sheesh, you guys are no fun!
**[05:35] Shir**
My objection stands, President.
**[05:38] Far**
I understand your concerns.
**[05:40] Far**
But he managed to contract with
a hero during his first time in action.
**[05:46] Gar**
Can that be?
**[05:48] Shir**
Impossible.
**[05:49] Shir**
Without any training or guidance?
**[05:51] Far**
Ellen and I can attest to it.
**[05:54] Gil**
Pretty cool if it's true!
**[05:56] Jo**
No way. Gotta be some kind of trick.
**[05:59] Gar**
So, what hero did you contract with?
**[06:04] Nemo**
I'm not sure.
**[06:06] Gar**
You're not sure?
**[06:07] Gar**
We converse with our heroes
to receive their power.
**[06:11] Gar**
You can't contract with one
without knowing who it is.
**[06:14] Nemo**
I heard his voice,
but I don't know his identity.
**[06:17] Jo**
Hey, is this guy loopy or somethin'?
**[06:20] Far**
I understand your unease.
**[06:22] Far**
But my hero, Lady Eunomia,
told me to have faith in him.
**[06:28] Far**
I trust Lady Eunomia.
**[06:30] Far**
And I believe in Nemo.
**[06:34] Shir**
Well, if you're that insistent...
**[06:38] Far**
Jou, show him around the academy, won't you?
**[06:42] Jo**
Me?!
**[06:44] Far**
You're such so influential,
with friends all over the school.
**[06:48] Far**
You're also the council's best warrior
**[06:51] Far**
and immensely popular
with the younger students.
**[06:53] Jo**
Yeah, fair. Can't argue with facts.
**[06:56] Far**
So I thought you'd make
a great caretaker for Nemo.
**[07:00] Jo**
Fine, leave him to me!
**[07:04] Jo**
Well, I said that to sound cool, but...
**[07:06] Jo**
Jeez, what a lousy errand.
**[07:10] Nero**
Sorry you got stuck dealing
with a nobody like me...
**[07:14] Jo**
Who're you callin' a nobody?
**[07:16] Jo**
Hey!
**[07:19] Jo**
Listen here!
**[07:20] Jo**
The Seven Knights are the
pinnacle of this academy!
**[07:22] Jo**
Its ultimate warriors!
**[07:23] Jo**
Now that you're one of us,
**[07:25] Jo**
I don't wanna hear any more "nobody" talk!
**[07:28] Nero**
I'm sorry.
**[07:29] Nero**
It just doesn't feel real to me...
**[07:35] Jo**
Look.
**[07:37] Jo**
The original Seven Knights.
The heroes of legend.
**[07:41] Nemo**
Those are...
**[07:42] Jo**
We've inherited their power.
**[07:46] Jo**
We're duty-bound to become worthy of them.
**[07:49] Nemo**
And use that power... to protect people?
**[07:52] Jo**
That's right! That's why
I work hard to get stronger!
**[07:56] Jo**
I'd gladly throw my life away
to defend the world from Physis!
**[08:00] Nemo**
That doesn't sound right.
**[08:03] Nemo**
If you and the enemy both die...
**[08:07] Nemo**
How do you protect people that way?
**[08:11] Jo**
The hell did you say?
**[08:13] So**
My, I see we're all having fun here.
**[08:22] So**
You must be Nemo, I presume?
**[08:24] So**
I'm told you heard the voice of the
goddess and made your own hero card.
**[08:29] Nemo**
It's all kind of a blur...
**[08:32] Nemo**
Who are you?
**[08:34] So**
I am Sophitia. I serve
as the academy librarian.
**[08:38] Nemo**
The librarian?
**[08:40] So**
The academy library contains
the memories of the heroes of old.
**[08:47] So**
After undergoing intense training,
our students make contracts with their cards
**[08:52] So**
and gain the power to fuse
with a hero for combat.
**[08:55] So**
Such is the power of a successor.
**[08:58] So**
But there are some who are guided
to their cards by fate alone.
**[09:04] So**
Just like you were.
**[09:05] Nemo**
Guided by fate?
**[09:09] So**
You might become a beacon of hope to others.
**[09:13] Jo**
*This* guy?
**[09:14] So**
Oh, that's right, Jou.
**[09:16] So**
The Alchemy Research Institute was delighted.
**[09:19] So**
They said your frozen dragon
will make a magnificent sample.
**[09:24] Jo**
I'm honored!
**[09:26] So**
Now, do get along.
**[09:28] Jo**
Yes, ma'am!
**[09:36] Jo**
Boy, what an awesome day.
**[09:39] Jo**
Miss Sophitia even talked to me...
**[09:44] Jo**
Now, let's get this over with.
**[09:46] Jo**
The cafeteria first!
**[09:51] Nemo**
The Seven Knights...
**[10:07] Jo**
And here's your dorm.
**[10:09] Jo**
Whew, sweet freedom at last!
**[10:12] Nemo**
Yeah. Thank you, Jou.
**[10:15] Jo**
You're such a weirdo.
**[10:17] Jo**
Get some rest already.
**[10:25] Nemo**
Let's see...
**[10:33] Nemo**
Faria?
**[10:36] Far**
Welcome.
**[10:56] Spi**
*Do you feel anger toward that child?*
**[11:00] Jo**
Spike? Of course not.
**[11:03] Spi**
*Suppressed anger can be one's own undoing.*
**[11:07] Jo**
I just...
**[11:10] Jo**
I just wanna be strong.
**[11:20] Nemo**
Are we the only three people in this dorm?
**[11:24] Far**
Yes.
**[11:25] Far**
This is the student council dorm,
so it's just us here.
**[11:30] Nemo**
Just us?
**[11:34] Nemo**
Is that... okay?
**[11:36] Ell**
I'm also the president's
personal valet, so I'm fine.
**[11:40] Far**
Are you worried you're
getting special treatment?
**[11:43] Nemo**
Well... um...
**[11:46] Nemo**
Kind of.
**[11:48] Fari**
I have high hopes for you.
**[11:50] Nemo**
High hopes?
**[11:52] Far**
Yes.
**[11:53] Nemo**
You really think I can make a contribution?
**[11:56] Far**
Successors who make contracts
outside of the library are special.
**[12:02] Nemo**
When that happened...
I was just following my instincts.
**[12:07] Ell**
I was utterly useless.
**[12:09] Far**
You must be feeling
a lot of pressure right now.
**[12:12] Far**
But I'm sure you'll find a way to contribute.
**[12:17] Ins**
Long ago, in the age of distant legend,
**[12:21] Ins**
there lived a group of heroes
known as the Seven Knights.
**[12:24] Ins**
They traveled the land,
sometimes in harmony,
**[12:28] Ins**
sometimes in conflict,
competing to change the fate of the world.
**[12:32] Ins**
And when Evil God Nestra tried
to cast our world into darkness,
**[12:37] Ins**
the heroes rose to the challenge
of keeping us all safe.
**[12:42] Ins**
You successors were chosen by the goddess...
**[12:45] Nemo**
*A way I can contribute?*
**[12:52] Girl**
How's that assignment going?
**[12:54] Girl**
What assignment?
**[12:55] Girl**
Wait, don't tell me...
**[12:58] Gar**
The new student?
**[13:00] Nemo**
I met you yesterday...
**[13:03] Gar**
Gareth.
**[13:04] Gar**
Gareth of the Winswald Clan.
**[13:07] Gar**
I know... Could you take this to
the Alchemy Research Institute?
**[13:11] Nemo**
Sure... but why?
**[13:14] Gar**
I'm not entirely comfortable there.
**[13:16] Gar**
I'd appreciate it if you could.
**[13:18] Nemo**
You got it.
**[13:22] Gar**
*He's awfully obedient.*
**[13:25] Gar**
*Or is he just presenting that way?*
**[13:40] Cla**
Thank you so much!
**[13:42] Cla**
Elf medicine is just the best!
**[13:45] Nemo**
Well, I'm just the delivery boy...
**[13:47] Cla**
Oh, don't say that!
**[13:49] Cla**
You'll give my regards to Gareth, won't you?
**[13:52] Nemo**
Sure thing.
**[13:53] Cla**
Oh, Gareth is just the coolest!
**[13:56] Cla**
Don't you know, don't you know?
**[13:58] Cla**
He's Granseed's most cuddleable boy!
**[14:02] Cla**
You know what I'm saying?!
**[14:06] Nemo**
I do! I do! I think...
**[14:09] Jo**
Gosh dern. Keep it down already, Claire.
**[14:13] Jo**
You again?
**[14:14] Nemo**
Jou!
**[14:16] Jo**
Hey, being an errand-boy suits you.
**[14:20] Nemo**
Yeah, I was thinking that, too.
**[14:24] Jo**
Have a little self-respect, man...
**[14:29] Jo**
What was that?
**[14:30] Nemo**
An explosion?
**[14:31] Cla**
It came from the warehouse!
**[14:33] Jou**
Oh, crap!
**[14:41] Jou**
Damn it!
**[14:42] Jou**
I thought I took that thing out!
**[14:45] Jou**
What did you guys do to it?
**[14:46] Cla**
Nothing!
**[14:48] Cla**
It was frozen solid!
**[14:49] Nemo**
Look!
**[14:52] Jo**
Miss Sophitia!
**[14:53] Nemo**
We have to save her!
**[14:54] Jo**
No kiddin'!
**[14:55] Jo**
Spike, Master of Cold!
**[14:57] Jo**
Grant me your power!
**[14:58] Jo**
Succession!
**[15:01] Jo**
Roar, Ice Blade!
**[15:08] Nemo**
Wow!
**[15:09] Nemo**
Now that's what you call an ice-cold strike!
**[15:13] Nemo**
There's nothin' I can't freeze!
**[15:17] Nemo**
Miss Sophitia!
**[15:18] Sof**
Thank you, Jou.
**[15:19] Sof**
The Seven Knights truly are amazing.
**[15:22] Jo**
N-Not at all!
**[15:23] Jo**
There is still lots more to be done!
**[15:24] Jo**
New kid! You take Miss Sophitia
and the others somewhere safe.
**[15:28] Nemo**
Got it.
**[15:30] Jo**
No urgency at all, huh?
**[15:32] Jo**
I don't like that guy.
**[15:36] Jo**
I beat you already! Take a hint, man!
**[15:42] Jo**
Die!
**[15:55] Jo**
Well? Ready to stay dead yet?
**[16:02] Jo**
What?!
**[16:08] Jo**
Is that...
**[16:09] Spi**
*The power of Physis.*
**[16:11] Spi**
*Be careful. It's far stronger than before.*
**[16:23] Jou**
I've still got this!
**[16:29] Jou**
Snowfield Slash!
**[16:44] Jou**
Damn it...
**[16:45] Nemo**
Jou!
**[16:46] Jou**
New kid!
**[16:48] Jou**
This one's trouble.
**[16:49] Jou**
Get the president here—and fast!
**[16:51] Jou**
I'll hold it back!
**[16:53] Nemo**
You need to get out of here, too!
**[16:55] Jo**
Don't be stupid!
**[16:57] Jo**
If I leave, it'll head out into the city.
**[16:59] Jo**
Then the damage'll only get worse.
**[17:05] Nemo**
But... who's going to protect *you?*
**[17:08] ---**
What?
**[17:09] Nemo**
Faria told me that there's nothing
more valuable than human life.
**[17:12] Nemo**
So yours is worth protecting, too!
**[17:17] Jo**
Shut up!
**[17:18] Jo**
That's no reason for me to back down...
**[17:21] Jo**
Or are you offering to contribute somehow?!
**[17:26] Nemo**
I'll try!
**[17:26] Jo**
What?
**[17:28] Nemo**
Succession!
**[17:53] Ell**
My goodness!
**[18:00] Jo**
You stupid idiot!
**[18:02] Jo**
You don't have the muscles
for that! Fall back!
**[18:04] Nemo**
Now! Freeze it over!
**[18:08] Nemo**
You said you could freeze anything, right?!
**[18:10] Jo**
You stupid little... Fine! It's your funeral!
**[18:14] Nemo**
There! Aim for the wound!
**[18:20] Jo**
Soul of Spike, respond to my anger!
**[18:23] Jo**
Freeze everything in your path!
**[18:26] Spi**
*I hear and obey! Burn, my icy heart!*
**[18:29] Spi**
*Turn this place into a frozen hell!*
**[18:49] Jo**
Hey, idiot! Get away! You've done enough!
**[18:53] Nemo**
I can't! If I let go now...
**[18:55] Jo**
Listen to me, damn it!
**[18:57] Nemo**
Almost there! I'm almost there!
**[19:00] Nemo**
I have to stop this!
**[19:02] Jen**
*That's right.*
**[19:06] Jen**
*This is a life twisted by Physis.*
**[19:08] Jen**
*It dies, yet continues to move without life.*
**[19:14] Nemo**
A life... without life?
**[19:18] Jen**
*End this tragedy.*
**[19:20] Nemo**
Faria saved my life.
**[19:24] Nemo**
So this time...
**[19:31] Sof**
Is that...
**[19:42] Spi**
*Do you see, Jou? That's its core.*
**[19:45] Spi**
*That's what allows its body to regenerate.*
**[19:48] Jo**
Leave it to me.
**[19:49] Jo**
I'll smash it to bits!
**[20:21] Jo**
A long time ago...
**[20:23] Jo**
the city where I lived was
attacked by Physis's monsters.
**[20:28] Jo**
My dad was a successor.
**[20:30] Jo**
He stood against them all alone
**[20:34] Jo**
and died protecting the city.
**[20:37] Jo**
I want to be strong. Like my dad.
**[20:43] Nemo**
You want to protect people too.
**[20:47] Jo**
I got stronger to do exactly that.
**[20:50] Jo**
But I can still get stronger...
**[20:54] Nemo**
Jou...
**[20:56] Jo**
...so long as I'm with a gutsy punk like you.
**[21:01] Jo**
Oh, come on! You don't
wanna hang out with me?
**[21:07] Nemo**
Of course I do.
**[21:09] Nemo**
Thank you.
**[21:11] Nemo**
I'm happy to have you, Jou.
**[21:16] Sof**
He might just save us all.
**[22:03] Sof**
This concludes the report from
the Alchemy Research Institute.
**[22:07] Sof**
Fortunately, there were no casualties,
**[22:09] Sof**
but we recovered little data.
**[22:12] Far**
We'll consider no loss of life a victory.
**[22:15] Far**
President, I want to ask you something.
**[22:19] Far**
About Nemo?
**[22:22] Far**
He's too naive and vulnerable.
**[22:25] Far**
He should at least start basic training.
**[22:28] Far**
In all truth, I'm a bit afraid of his power.
**[22:33] Shi**
Afraid?
**[22:35] Far**
I think he's a very kind person himself.
**[22:40] Far**
But that power...
**[22:44] Shi**
President, do you intend to monitor Nemo?
**[22:47] Far**
That's the board's inclination,
but... I worry.
**[22:52] Far**
I'm afraid he might be
swallowed by that power.
**[22:57] Shi**
Which is why you put him in that dorm?
**[23:00] Fa**
Just in case.
**[23:02] Shi**
The disciplinary board won't interfere, then.
**[23:07] Shi**
Excuse me.
**[23:14] Far**
I want to believe in Nemo, Lady Eunomia.
**[23:25] Far**
The monsters grow stronger every day.
**[23:28] Far**
What we need is the power of more heroes.
**[23:30] Far**
I'm doing my best, of course...
**[23:32] Far**
But it's important to get results!
**[23:34] Sign**
Hero -Seven Knights-
**[23:35] Far**
Next time on *Seven Knights*...
**[23:36] Far**
Do you kill those who don't get results?
