    I've studied the Magic Fist Style
     since I was little...
[00:26] Well
    I've spent the last seven
    years at home in solitude.
[00:30] Well
    I've kept my distance from others

[00:45] Iina
    My talent with the spear was recognized,
[00:47] Iina
    and that's why I'm in this scholarship
    class at the Adventurers' Academy.
[00:50] Well
    But thanks to that, my communication
    skills have hit rock bottom.
[00:55] Well
    Just calm down.
[00:56] Well
    This is where my story starts.
[00:58] Well
    My story about making friends!
[01:03] Sekurt
    All right, the next one is our last.

    Yes, sir!
[01:09] Well
    I'm the eighth son of the

[01:15] Well
    I'd be happy if you would call me "Well."
[01:19] Well
    I look forward to our time together.
[01:29] Sekurt
    All right, now I'll explain the curriculum
    for this scholarship class.
[01:35] Well
    Maybe announcing a nickname
    was going too far?
[01:38] Sekurt
    We'll start by discussing this.

    I feel ostracized already.
[03:49] Iina
    That's this year's only scholarship
    student of magic, Baumeister.
[03:55] Louise
    Magic users are rare enough as is,
[03:57] ---
    but I've heard his magic power is already
    on par with top-class adventurers.
[04:02] Er
    I heard that the magic instructor decided
     there was nothing more he could teach him,
[04:07] ---
    and gave up on instructing him.
[04:10] Er
    If you party up with that guy,
     you're set for life.
[04:14] Er
    You know how it goes, right?
[04:15] Er
    Most of the parties from the
    Academy continue to stay together

    even after they graduate
    and become adventurers.

[04:27] Er
    So I have a proposal for you two.
[04:30] Louise
    Hey! You wrote my name on it!
[04:33] Er
    Listen, that guy's currently appraising us.
[04:38] Er
    He's trying to decide if we're
    worthy of a great mage like him.
[04:42] Louise
    Oh! So that's why he's always alone!
[04:46] Iina
    Huh? You really think so?
[04:49] Er
    That's why we do this.
[04:51] Er
    If you two, the top martial artist and
    spearwoman, join me, the top swordsman,
[04:57] ---
    don't you think even he might recognize us?
[05:03] ---
    Hey!
[05:06] Louise
    It's not a bad idea.
[05:08] Iina
    Huh? You're kidding.
    You plan to form a party with him?
[05:11] Er
    I'm the fifth son of the
    Arnim Knightdom, Erwin von Arnim.
[05:16] Er
    You can call me "Er."
[05:19] Louise
    I'm Louise. This is Iina, my friend
    since childhood. Nice to meet you!
[05:24] Iina
    Huh?
[05:26] Well
    Muster up your courage...
[05:28] Well
    Blend into the class more!
[05:31] Well
    U-Um, hey...
[05:32] Well
    This is called sansho pepper.
    If you'd like some...
[05:38] Josef
    I see. So you guys are after the same thing.
[05:41] Josef
    Too bad, though, because he's going
    to recognize us, the axe trio!
[05:54] Well
    They're laughing and having so much fun...
[05:57] Well
    I probably shouldn't bother right now.
[06:00] Sekurt
    Now, I'm sure some of you here aren't
    receiving a stipend from your family
[06:05] ---
    and have to work part-time
    to earn your living.
[06:09] Well
    That's me.
[06:10] Sekurt
    Our academy recommends
    hunting in such cases,
[06:14] ---
    but since it's dangerous to hunt alone,
    make sure you go in groups if you do.
[06:20] Well
    In groups?
[06:26] Well
    There's no room for me anywhere.
[06:28] Louise
    Hey, what do you think?
[06:30] Louise
    Should we say something to Baumeister?
[06:32] Er
    No, let's be careful about this.
[06:34] Er
    If we're too hasty and make a mistake that
    disappoints him, it will all be for naught.
[06:41] Iina
    Though... I notice he's not speaking to anyone.
[06:46] Er
    That's it! This is a
    challenge from Baumeister!
[06:51] Louise
    Huh?! What do you mean?!
[06:53] Er
    This is what he's trying to say:
[06:55] Er
    "You should have no trouble bringing in more
    prey as a group than I could hunting alone."
[07:03] Louise
    So if a group brings back less prey than him...
[07:06] Er
    Then that group will removed
    from his list of candidates.
[07:18] Staff
    Here you go.
[07:26] Louise
    We should be okay with this much.
[07:29] Er
    Still, you two really are the
    daughters of great masters.
[07:33] Er
    Have you both been training with
    your families since you were little?
[07:37] Iina
    Yeah.
[07:40] Louise
    B-But you were awesome with your sword, too!
[07:43] Er
    Well, I come from a poor knightdom,
[07:47] Er
    so I've been training with the sword
    like crazy ever since I was a kid.
[07:52] Well
    Oh, excuse me. Coming through.
[07:55] Er
    Huh? Where's his prey?
[07:59] Staff
    Oh, a magic bag, huh?
[08:02] Staff
    Where did you get one of those?
[08:03] Well
    Oh, my master left it to me.
[08:06] Well
    Hup!
[08:13] ---
    Wh-Whoa... Wait a...
[08:18] Josef
    Hmph. This is dumb.
[08:20] Josef
    I'm out.
[08:22] Iina
    Huh?
[08:22] Josef
    He lives in a whole different world.
[08:24] Josef
    With this much difference
    between our skill levels,
[08:26] ---
    it'll be impossible to earn his recognition.
[08:29] Josef
    It's not worth the effort.
[08:32] Josef
    You all get it too, right?
[08:34] Josef
    If you're not the eldest son,
[08:36] ---
    it's wiser to not bother dreaming of more.
[08:46] Staff
    This is a big help!
    They're all precious bounties.
[08:49] Staff
    I hope you'll come again.
[08:50] Well
    Sure!
[08:57] Well
    If you're interested, let's grab a bite
    to eat together with this mo—
[09:00] Well
    ...ney?
[09:03] Er
    My brother once said something similar.
[09:08] Er
    He said that no matter how hard
    I trained with the sword,
[09:10] ---
    a fifth son will never inherit.
[09:13] Er
    That I was just wasting my effort.
[09:16] Iina
    It was the same for Louise and me.
[09:19] Iina
    No matter how strong we were,
[09:20] ---
    we couldn't inherit the school
    because we weren't eldest sons.
[09:24] Er
    It's the same everywhere, huh?
[09:26] Louise
    It would be one thing if that were all it was.
[09:30] Louise
    The truth is, both of us were born with
    a bit more magic power than most people.
[09:35] Louise
    I mean, not that it's enough
    just that we can use magic,
[09:39] Louise
    but if we use that magic to
    enhance our physical abilities...
[09:45] Er
    Then a normal person stands no chance, huh?
[09:48] Louise
    Before I knew it, I was stronger
    than my father and brother,
[09:52] Louise
    and at some point, they began avoiding me.
[09:56] Louise
    So I ended up having to train in secret.
[10:02] Iina
    I can't accept this!
[10:03] Iina
    Why on earth does being born later
    mean we're not allowed to dream?!
[10:08] Iina
    That's just wrong, isn't it?!
[10:11] Iina
    I'm not giving up.
[10:14] Iina
    At this point, let's hunt lots of big game
    and make sure Baumeister recognizes us!
[10:23] Er
    If you're after big game,
    this is the place! Deep in the forest!
[10:27] Louise
    The teacher told us we weren't allowed
    to go in here, but we have no choice!
[10:31] Iina
    We do have a choice.
[10:33] Iina
    Come on, let's turn back.
[10:37] Iina
    They're here.
[10:39] Iina
    Wolves.
[10:40] Iina
    Extra-large ones, at that.
[11:02] Well
    Wolves, and... those are... people?
[11:08] Well
    If those are my classmates, maybe
    we can become friends if I save them!
[11:27] Er
    Damn it! How many of them are there?!
[11:30] Louise
    I'm sorry. We should have listened to Iina.
[11:34] Iina
    Louise, above you!
[11:40] Louise
    Er!
[11:54] Iina
    What in the world...
[11:56] Well
    Are you okay?
[12:06] Three
    We're sorry.
[12:08] Well
    It's fine. I mean, we're classmates, after all.
[12:12] Er
    We were trying to get you to recognize us,
[12:14] ---
    but we just made trouble for you.
[12:17] Well
    Huh?
[12:18] ---
    Me?
[12:19] Louise
    After seeing that magic you used, though,
[12:22] Louise
    I realized we really do
    live in different worlds.
[12:27] Louise
    So...
[12:28] Well
    H-Hey...
[12:30] Louise
    I'm giving up on forming a party with you now.
[12:34] Well
    With me?!
[12:35] Iina
    We haven't given up on everything, though.
[12:38] Iina
    We'll find some other way
    to pave a brighter future.
[12:42] Well
    Uh, h-h-hang on a second...
[12:45] Sekurt
    So this is where you—
[12:48] Sekurt
    What happened?
[12:49] Er
    Oh, it's just a scratch.
[12:52] Er
    Anyway, did you need us for something?
[12:54] Sekurt
    Oh...
[12:55] Sekurt
    Rejoice! All the students
    of our scholarship class
[12:59] ---
    have been invited to a garden party
    hosted by the Duke of Bleichröder!
[13:04] Iina
    A chance to meet the Duke
    of Bleichröder in person!
[13:08] Er
    He's one of the nobles currently competing
    for the top in the Kingdom of Helmut.
[13:13] Louise
    If he takes a liking to us, it could
    open up the path to becoming a retainer!
[13:17] Josef
    What are you all excited about?
[13:19] Josef
    We're obviously only being invited
     because the Duke of Bleichröder
[13:23] ---
    wants to lay claim to our
    great mage, Baumeister.
[13:30] Josef
    We're just extras.
[13:33] TrioA
    Then there's no way he's going
    to take an interest in us.
[13:36] TrioB
    What? Then there's no point
    in getting excited over this.
[13:40] Students
    Huh?
[13:41] Students
    Really?
[13:42] Students
    That's all?
[13:42] Students
    That's disappointing.
[13:46] Louise
    All right! Let's go buy outfits
    for the garden party together!
[13:50] El
    Formal wear, huh?
[13:52] El
    That'll cost us a lot, but it is for our future.
[13:56] Josef
    Oh, come on. Are you all still
    getting your hopes up?
[14:01] Iina
    What's wrong with that?
[14:04] Iina
    There's still some chance, right?
[14:07] Louise
    Hey, maybe he'll speak to
    us if we go in showy outfits!
[14:11] Er
    You can do that, Louise.
[14:13] Er
    I'm going in something normal.
[14:15] Louise
    Why?!
[14:16] Louise
    Let's all go in something showy!
[14:18] Iina
    Sorry, I can't do that.

[15:19] Well
    I'm Wendelin von Benno Baumeister.
[15:23] Bleichröder
    My, it's good to see someone
    from the Baumeisters,
[15:26] ---
    our vassals, visiting us here in Breichburg.
[15:30] Bleichröder
    The Baumeisters so rarely
    participate in gatherings like this.
[15:37] Well
    Well, as you know, our family's
    financial affairs are strained.
[15:42] Bleichröder
    There is some expense involved
    in crossing those mountains.
[15:45] Bleichröder
    But some of my other vassals complain that
[15:48] ---
    it's rude for them to refuse
    their lord's invitation.
[15:53] Well
    My apologies.
[15:55] Bleichröder
    Well, enough about that.
[15:57] Bleichröder
    The truth is, I was hoping to speak with you.
[16:01] Bleichröder
    Could I have a bit of your time?
[16:05] Well
    Very well.
[16:07] Bleichröder
    Then let's go over here.
[16:09] Well
    Excuse me!
[16:11] Well
    Um, there are some people
    I'd like to bring with me.
[16:15] Well
    These three.
[16:17] Well
    They're my party members.
[16:37] Bleichröder
    This is my court magician.
[16:43] Brantag
    Brantag Ringstat.
[16:46] Brantag
    Nice to meet you.
[16:47] Bleichröder
    He was also the teacher to my former
    court magician, Alfred Rainford.
[16:56] Brantag
    Well, truth be told,
[16:58] ---
    Alfred died in the Enchanted Forest near
     your family's lands an awfully long time ago.
[17:05] Brantag
    It seems he later became a Whispering Dead.
[17:08] Brantag
    But I was still his master.
[17:10] Brantag
    I always kept an eye on the
    presence of my disciple.
[17:14] Bleichröder
    Brantag is a talented user of tracking magic.
[17:17] Bleichröder
    He's able to track the magic power of anyone
    he's met in person over great distances.
[17:23] Brantag
    It was seven years ago.
[17:24] Brantag
    That was when Alfred's presence
    suddenly disappeared.
[17:28] Brantag
    He was a Whispering Dead,
[17:30] Brantag
    so I thought perhaps he had
    fulfilled his wish and passed on,
[17:34] Brantag
    but then I remembered that
    while he was alive he told me,
[17:37] ---
    "I want to meet someone to whom I can
    pass on all the magic I've learned."
[17:41] Brantag
    So I thought it over and
    realized that if that was
[17:44] ---
    the wish he had clung to,
    then it was never coming true.
[17:48] Brantag
    He had a greater magic capacity
    than even me, his master,
[17:52] ---
    and he was counted amongst the top
    five magicians on this continent.
[17:56] Brantag
    There was no way he would ever find a
    magician he could recognize as his disciple.
[18:04] Brantag
    Yet now, here is a man with
    incredible magic power
[18:08] ---
    from the very same region where
    his presence disappeared.
[18:11] Brantag
    A man carrying his magic bag, no less.
[18:17] Bleichröder
    Pardon me, but what are
    the chances he stole it?
[18:20] Brantag
    Not possible.
[18:22] Brantag
    No one could use that magic bag unless
    Alfred himself had transferred ownership.
[18:30] Brantag
    You're it, aren't you?
[18:32] Brantag
    You're Alfred's disciple.
[18:35] Well
    Yes.
[18:37] Brantag
    Then there's one thing I'd like to ask you.
[18:41] Brantag
    What were his final moments like?
[18:55] Well
    I purged my master before
    he could become a zombie.
[19:00] Brantag
    Damn. What a thing to force upon a child...
[19:08] Brantag
    Thank you.
[19:09] Brantag
    Because of you,
[19:11] Brantag
    he was able to pass on peacefully.
[19:19] Well
    No, I...
[19:24] Well
    Oh, right.
[19:25] Well
    This bag that my master carried
     contains the supplies
[19:28] ---
    meant for the 2,000-man expedition
     to the Enchanted Forest.
[19:34] Well
    I've been meaning to return
    it for a while now.
[19:39] Iina
    We didn't know anything about him.
[19:43] Er
    He did mention that he had lived by himself
    to avoid a struggle over succession.
[19:48] Louise
    That's the same as us...
[19:52] Louise
    Yet we said that he lived in another world.
[19:56] Well
    Hey!
[20:01] Well
    Sorry to keep you all waiting.
[20:03] Well
    It took more time than I thought
    to hand over those supplies.
[20:06] Iina
    Hey, what you said about us being a party...
[20:11] Well
    Yeah, sorry to spring that on you. I just—
[20:15] Iina
    We don't deserve to be in a party with you!
[20:19] Er
    We were all planning to use you.
[20:23] Er
    To make you a tool to
    improve our own lives.
[20:28] Well
    Oh, but that kind of goes both ways.
[20:31] Er
    Huh?
[20:33] Well
    I dragged you all along without warning
    because I didn't want to go anywhere
[20:37] ---
    alone with an old guy of his standing.
[20:39] Three
    Huh?!
[20:42] Iina
    Then when you said we were a party...
[20:44] Well
    Oh, no, no!
[20:46] Well
    I really did want to be in
    a party with you three!
[20:51] Iina
    But why us?
[20:53] Well
    Well, because it seems like
    I'd have fun with you three,
[20:59] ---
    even when things get tough.
[21:01] Iina
    Huh?
[21:03] Well
    Well, long ago, my master told me that I have
[21:06] ---
    what it takes to enjoy what
    the wide world has to offer.
[21:10] Well
    So I thought it would be good to have
    friends who could enjoy it with me.
[21:15] Er
    Huh? That's your reason?
[21:18] Well
    Sorry. That's my reason.
[21:28] Er
    I can't believe that's what
    you'd recognize us for.
[21:30] Iina
    We nearly got ourselves eaten by wolves!
[21:34] Louise
    Jeez! This is all your fault, Well!
[21:38] Well
    Hey, you just called me "Well"...
[21:41] Bleichröder
    I'm sorry, I forgot something very important.
[21:45] Well
    Yes?
[21:46] Bleichröder
