[00:05] ---
    Starting today, you're his student.
[00:10] ---
    His?
[00:11] ---
    You only have one thing to worry about.
[00:15] ---
    Surpass the one who teaches you.
[02:06] ---
    "An Unexpected Assassin"
[02:14] ---
    That's the Tower of Fangs.
    That's where the city of Tafrem is.
[02:19] ---
    That's where I'll be able to become a Sorcerer!
[02:22] ---
    The school's right behind there.
[02:31] ---
    Apparently, you've noticed me.
    I'm too well known.
[02:40] ---
    No one can stop me.
[02:44] ---
    After all, they're the one
    who gave me this order.
[02:48] ---
    As long as I have their order,
    I will never stop.
[03:00] ---
    Another elder was killed?
[03:03] ---
    I think this makes the fifth one.
[03:06] ---
    At this rate, all of the
    upper echelon will be wiped out.
[03:10] ---
    Who do you think runs this tower?
    Hurry up and find the culprit!
[03:15] ---
    Do you realize this is the biggest threat
    we've faced since the Tower's creation?
[03:20] ---
    Someone must be trying to start a rebellion.
    Take care of this at once.
[03:25] ---
    Use force if you need to.
[03:32] ---
    That squad is what started all of this.
[03:52] ---
    O Flames!
[03:53] ---
    O Wind!
[04:04] ---
    Hark, O Light!
[04:11] ---
    O Chaos!
[04:29] ---
    Someone's here.
[04:33] ---
    Oh, it's you, Leticia.
[04:36] ---
    Forte, is this report true?
[04:39] ---
    Azalie was defeated?
[04:42] ---
    There's something more
    important than the Azalie matter.
[04:46] ---
    Another elder was killed,
    and the culprit fell into our network.
[04:50] ---
    Another elder?
[04:53] ---
    They must be a very skilled assassin
    to be able to kill the elders.
[04:57] ---
    Apparently, the suspect is
    on the skinny side and not very tall.
[05:01] ---
    They were dressed in
    all black and had black hair.
[05:04] ---
    They must be a Sorcerer from the tower.
[05:07] ---
    And we've received word from Heartia
    who's been investigating in Totokanta.
[05:11] ---
    Did he find anything out?
[05:13] ---
    Our master met with Krylancelo in the end.
[05:17] ---
    What?
[05:18] ---
    And that's the last anyone saw our master.
[05:22] ---
    It's like he was erased from this world.
[05:24] ---
    Don't tell me Krylancelo...
[05:27] ---
    The killings of the elders
    might be his form of revenge.
[05:31] ---
    If that's the case, we can't
    let any other authority have him...
[05:37] ---
    So that I can carry on the Childman Class.
[05:40] ---
    Forte, you--
[05:44] ---
    We can't go back to how things used to be.
[05:58] ---
    Master!
[06:00] ---
    Found you.
[06:07] ---
    So what did you say
    about the food I made, Majic?
[06:11] ---
    I, uh, er...
[06:15] ---
    That I'd be better off with cat food... Maybe?
[06:20] ---
    Die!
[06:26] ---
    Again? Looks like she got you good.
[06:32] ---
    So basically, he pointed out how bad her cooking is,
[06:37] ---
    and then she blew up part of the forest?
[06:42] ---
    R-Right...
[06:43] ---
    Under normal circumstances,
    I'd have to hand you over to the Church.
[06:48] ---
    But you're...
[06:50] ---
    I'm a Sorcerer.
[06:52] ---
    If I handed over a Sorcerer to the Church,
[06:56] ---
    you'd be lucky if they just beat you to death.
[06:57] ---
    You're probably right.
[06:59] ---
    But this incident won't get reported.
[07:03] ---
    I haven't seen anything,
    and I haven't heard anything.
[07:09] ---
    Make sure you don't cause any more trouble.
[07:11] ---
    Hurry back to the Tower of Fangs.
[07:16] ---
    It's gone...
[07:24] ---
    Hey!
[07:26] ---
    Hey, what's wrong?
[07:27] ---
    He's dead? For someone to be
    able to do this without me realizing...
[07:33] ---
    They must be an assassin
    and a skilled one at that.
[07:40] ---
    "Who is the successor?"
[07:42] ---
    Who is the successor?
[07:49] ---
    Who is the successor?
[07:53] ---
    I wonder what's wrong with Orphen.
[07:57] ---
    It's strange. It's like he's hiding something.
[08:04] ---
    Look out!
[08:08] ---
    Orphen!
[08:12] ---
    We have to save him!
[08:13] ---
    Wait! It's too dangerous!
[08:15] ---
    Yes, it is dangerous.
[08:18] ---
    He's up there!
[08:20] ---
    I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!
[08:27] ---
    I did it!
[08:30] ---
    I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!
[08:37] ---
    You better thank Leki later.
[08:42] ---
    I see. So it's true that a human
    took a Deep Dragon out of the forest.
[08:48] ---
    By the way...
[08:53] ---
    Orphen!
[08:54] ---
    Master! You're okay!
[08:56] ---
    Yeah, though, I thought I was a goner.
[08:59] ---
    So this kid used that kind of Sorcery?
[09:03] ---
    I thought you really did die for a moment.
[09:06] ---
    Don't mock me, you shitty little brat.
[09:09] ---
    I am a shitty little brat.
[09:12] ---
    I dance within thee,
[09:15] ---
    Heavenly Castle!
[09:17] ---
    He teleported?
[09:18] ---
    I don't blame you for being surprised,
    but that's going to leave you wide open!
[09:23] ---
    I strike thee, Glass Hail!
[09:33] ---
    Orphen! Majic!
[09:34] ---
    We're fine. Just a few scratches.
[09:36] ---
    I'm sure I attacked all of you, but apparently,
[09:39] ---
    Sorcery doesn't work on the Dragon.
[09:42] ---
    Claiomh, make sure
    he doesn't let down his guard.
[09:48] ---
    What's going on?
[09:50] ---
    Out of everyone here, the most
    powerful one is that black furball,
[09:54] ---
    and the second is that guy.
[09:56] ---
    What are you talking about, Orphen?
[09:58] ---
    I meant what I said. That brat's
    Sorcery is a few levels above my own.
[10:02] ---
    You're just too weak.
[10:05] ---
    Sorcery that allows you to teleport...
[10:07] ---
    That was something Childman came up
    with and requires special formation.
[10:12] ---
    Why are you able to use it?
[10:14] ---
    It's the most powerful move
    from the Tower of Fangs.
[10:17] ---
    But I'm able to use it far better than you.
[10:22] ---
    Are you truly the successor?
[10:24] ---
    What?!
[10:28] ---
    So you were the one behind that?
[10:31] ---
    I was.
[10:34] ---
    Returning you to normal is what they desire.
[10:38] ---
    They?
[10:40] ---
    I have no idea what
    the hell you're talking about!
[10:47] ---
    How surprising.
    I didn't think we'd be this apart in skill.
[10:54] ---
    Leki! I don't care what you do,
    just do something!
[11:01] ---
    You fools... It never crossed
    your mind that I was waiting for this?
[11:06] ---
    That may be a Dragon,
    but it can't do two things at once.
[11:10] ---
    In this case, I'm referring
    to attacking and being on guard.
[11:15] ---
    Yes. Meaning attacking and
    being on guard can't be done at once.
[11:21] ---
    I unsheathe thee...
[11:23] ---
    Don't!
[11:24] ---
    ...Sword of Light!
[11:31] ---
    He missed?
[11:32] ---
    But how?
[11:37] ---
    I probably can't take on
    two members of the Childman Class.
[11:46] ---
    Begone. I will take Krylancelo.
[11:54] ---
    Don't come after me.
[11:58] ---
    His face...
[12:03] ---
    That's...
[12:10] ---
    Why is there two of you?
[12:20] ---
    I don't think we've been
    properly introduced yet.
[12:24] ---
    That's Claiomh.
    She's the daughter a rich guy in Totokanta
[12:28] ---
    and this is Majic, who's my student.
[12:31] ---
    The furball Claiomh
    is holding is her pet beast...
[12:35] ---
    His name's Leki.
[12:37] ---
    And this is Tish. She's a senior
    of mine from the Tower of Fangs.
[12:46] ---
    But you sure changed a lot in five years.
[12:50] ---
    Are you really Krylancelo?
[12:52] ---
    The name's Orphen.
[12:53] ---
    So this is where you grew up, Orphen?
[12:56] ---
    Yeah. If they cared about the
    fifth biggest city on the continent,
[12:59] ---
    Tafrem would've made the listing.
[13:02] ---
    Halt!
[13:08] ---
    I'm Leticia MacCredy, a high-ranking
    Sorcerer from the Tower of Fangs.
[13:11] ---
    I was investigating the current incident,
    and the rest of them are with me.
[13:15] ---
    Yes, ma'am! Please go through!
[13:23] ---
    Well, that was pretty extra.
[13:25] ---
    There's been a lot of assassinations lately.
[13:29] ---
    Assassinations?
[13:30] ---
    Yes.
[13:31] ---
    You mean, people are getting killed?
[13:33] ---
    Yes, Sorcerers... Elders
    at the Tower of Fangs at that.
[13:41] ---
    Elders?
[13:42] ---
    They pretty much run things at the tower.
[13:46] ---
    Sadly, they're not just
    a gathering of old people.
[13:47] ---
    But people from the tower
    are being killed in Tafrem?
[13:51] ---
    Why bother going to the city?
[13:53] ---
    Most of them with government jobs lived in Tafrem.
[13:58] ---
    Having a home in the city
    was a part of their status.
[14:02] ---
    Our master had one there as well.
[14:05] ---
    See?
[14:08] ---
    Childman...
[14:14] ---
    There hasn't been any more information?
[14:17] ---
    Three last week, and two this week.
[14:19] ---
    At this rate, the remaining 15 are doomed as well.
[14:23] ---
    You don't think... This is the work
    of the Kimluck Church, do you?
[14:32] ---
    Forte told me who was
    behind this with his network.
[14:36] ---
    They got caught in the Childman Network?
[14:39] ---
    Yes. The information network
    that records every event
[14:43] ---
    that happens on this continent in real time.
[14:45] ---
    Though Forte's network
    isn't as vast as Master's.
[14:48] ---
    But he's able to keep an eye on
    things that happen around the tower.
[14:51] ---
    And the guy from yesterday
    got caught in that network?
[14:54] ---
    Yes. The suspect that appeared
    from nowhere and killed the elders...
[14:58] ---
    Forte was sure it was you, Krylancelo.
[15:05] ---
    Heartia, just as you reported, he came back.
[15:10] ---
    The Successor of the Razor's Edge.
[15:13] ---
    Do you know what happened to Master afterwards?
[15:16] ---
    No idea.
[15:18] ---
    But considering that situation,
    I'm pretty sure he was killed.
[15:25] ---
    But the only ones capable of killing Master
[15:28] ---
    are basically just Krylancelo or Azalie.
[15:30] ---
    But Azalie was defeated by Master.
[15:35] ---
    And then, Master didn't show
    back up in Tafrem, but Krylancelo did.
[15:44] ---
    You always did want your own house, Tish.
[15:49] ---
    Correct, though it's not a house
    I always wanted. It was a family.
[15:56] ---
    Um... This may be rude of me to ask,
[16:00] ---
    but you don't have a family, Leticia?
[16:04] ---
    Blood relatives, no.
[16:06] ---
    But most Sorcerers at the tower share that fate.
[16:11] ---
    Fate?
[16:12] ---
    Most of the Sorcerers in
    the Tower of Fangs are orphans.
[16:16] ---
    I don't have family either, remember?
[16:19] ---
    Well, you're not the
    best example of various things...
[16:21] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[16:23] ---
    Oh, nothing...
[16:24] ---
    Anyway, the training
    we get at the tower is unique,
[16:27] ---
    so the death rate for students is rather high.
[16:30] ---
    Proper parents would never send
    their children to a place like that.
[16:35] ---
    Hey, a kitty.
[16:37] ---
    That's Nora. That used to be my cat.
[16:40] ---
    Norman?
[16:41] ---
    It's Nora!
[16:42] ---
    It's been a while, Nora.
[16:47] ---
    They forgot me...
[16:50] ---
    Most of these rooms belong to my pupils,
    but you can use this room.
[16:58] ---
    I see that you still
    collect the weirdest things.
[17:01] ---
    What does it matter to you?
[17:07] ---
    Ha, you're missing a tooth, Orphen.
[17:09] ---
    That's when I was seven.
[17:12] ---
    Huh... Is that when you start losing teeth?
[17:15] ---
    Who knows? I'm pretty sure
    I lost that tooth in combat training.
[17:20] ---
    Combat?
[17:22] ---
    I say combat training,
    but I'm talking about the very basics.
[17:26] ---
    They tied up my hands and
    beat me with a stick over and over.
[17:33] ---
    That's what you call the basics?
[17:36] ---
    It's to make you mentally stronger.
[17:38] ---
    Black Sorcerers train from that young?
[17:42] ---
    The Tower of Fangs was a rather special place...
[17:47] ---
    But why does Tish's album have
    so many pictures of you, Orphen?
[17:54] ---
    Well, she's basically family to me.
[17:59] ---
    The three of us were together ever
    since we were at this orphanage.
[18:03] ---
    The three of you?
[18:04] ---
    Tish and Azalie.
[18:06] ---
    They took care of me at the orphanage.
[18:10] ---
    And yet, somehow all three
    of us were taken to the tower
[18:15] ---
    and ended up in the same class.
[18:17] ---
    Aw, you were so cute, Orphen!
[18:20] ---
    To think even you had times like this, Master...
[18:23] ---
    Seriously, what do you guys think I am?
[18:26] ---
    I thought you were how you
    are now even when you were little.
[18:29] ---
    Seriously...
[18:36] ---
    Heading out at this hour?
[18:39] ---
    I need to tell Forte that you're not the suspect.
[18:42] ---
    Otherwise I wouldn't want
    to go to the tower right now.
[18:46] ---
    Then why don't you just wait until tomorrow?
[18:48] ---
    You finally came back.
    I don't want the tower meddling with you.
[18:54] ---
    You're going to stay, right?
[19:01] ---
    I... can't come back anymore.
[19:05] ---
    Ugh, what is with you and Forte?
[19:08] ---
    Why do men have to be like this?
[19:24] ---
    I have to tell Tish everything.
[19:27] ---
    About both Azalie and Childman.
[19:31] ---
    Because he didn't want me to.
[19:33] ---
    You're lying. He was...
[19:36] ---
    Childman was trying to kill me!
[19:38] ---
    You're wrong. Why do you think
    he personally went after you?
[19:43] ---
    So that he could return to normal.
[19:47] ---
    Why did he allow you to switch bodies
    with him without resisting?
[19:51] ---
    He should've been able to stop you.
[19:54] ---
    He wanted to save you...
[19:56] ---
    ...with his own hands.
[20:00] ---
    No... That can't be true.
[20:06] ---
    I wanted to be a woman worthy of him.
[20:13] ---
    I wonder if Tish will cry...
[20:15] ---
    No, she'll probably be consumed with rage.
[20:27] ---
    To think that the mental control I learned
    from Childman would come up here.
[20:33] ---
    I guess that's expected from
    highest elites of the Tower of Fangs.
[20:38] ---
    Even I could have a house like this if I wanted.
[20:43] ---
    But there'd be some conditions.
[20:47] ---
    First, you'd have to go
    back to the Tower of Fangs,
[20:50] ---
    with your former powers.
[20:53] ---
    The elders aren't stupid,
[20:55] ---
    so when they find out you
    don't have the powers you used to,
[20:58] ---
    they'll immediately realize how useless you are.
[21:04] ---
    Even if you did have your former powers,
[21:06] ---
    the fact that you left the tower
    five years ago won't disappear.
[21:11] ---
    That'd be considered a blemish on your record
[21:12] ---
    and who knows how many years it'd take
    for them to acknowledge your return.
[21:18] ---
    Who are you?
[21:20] ---
    Who am I?
[21:21] ---
    I'm the assassin of this town.
[21:25] ---
    Are you trying to say
    that Krylancelo is an assassin?
[21:28] ---
    Pretty much.
[21:30] ---
    What else would you call it?
[21:32] ---
    I'm not here to play word games with you.
[21:34] ---
    That goes for me, as well.
[21:43] ---
    Are you trying to imply
    that you're the ghost from my past?
[21:48] ---
    Yes. I am Krylancelo.
[21:51] ---
    You can just keep calling yourself Orphen.
[23:32] ---
    What were you like as a student
    at the Tower of Fangs, Master?
[23:36] ---
    If you're able to withstand
    my Sorcery a hundred times, I'll tell you.
[23:38] ---
    You're so mean, Master.
[23:39] ---
    "Ghost from the Past"
