[01:31] Lucy
    I have class now.
[01:35] Lucy
    Haven't I told you?
[01:38] Lucy
    Well, the time zone isn't my fault!
[01:41] Lucy
    That's perfect.
[01:43] Lucy
    Don't call me anymore.
[01:49] Chise
    Good morning.
[01:52] Lucy
    Morning.
[02:01] Chise
    She's scary even on the phone.
[02:05] Lucy
    This is technically your room, too.
[02:08] Lucy
    Don't mind me. Just come in, even
    if I'm in the middle of something.
[02:13] Chise
    Th-Thank you.
[02:16] Lucy
    I hate the hesitant, weirdly
    polite way you talk.
[02:21] Lucy
    Are you mocking me?
[02:23] Chise
    N-No, absolutely not.
[02:26] Lucy
    It reminds me of something.
    It pisses me off.
[02:29] Lucy
    Stop it.
[02:30] Chise
    Yeah.
[02:31] Chise
    Okay.
[02:33] Lucy
    Her words are harsh, but I guess
     she's looking out for me.
[02:38] Lucy
    What?
[02:39] Chise
    Oh, you just remind me of someone I know.
[02:42] Lucy
    I see.
[02:44] Lucy
    I know someone a lot like you, too.
[02:47] Lucy
    Always timid, trying to read the room,
    benevolent in all the wrong ways...
[02:52] Lucy
    You seem to think things are okay
    as long as you put up with everything.
[02:57] Lucy
    I hate it!
[02:59] Lucy
    Don't go around saying people
    remind you of someone you know.
[03:03] Chise
    Sorry.
[03:05] Lucy
    Why'd you come to the College, anyway?
[03:08] Lucy
    Planning on becoming a sorcerer?
[03:10] Chise
    Nothing like that.
[03:12] Chise
    It's not for a particularly
    important reason.
[03:14] Chise
    It'd probably seem pretty silly to you.
[03:17] Lucy
    Do you think I'm so stupid I'd assume that
    when I haven't even asked what the reason is?
[03:22] Chise
    I never said that.
[03:25] Lucy
    I'm done.
[03:29] Lucy
    Just finish getting ready.
[03:31] Chise
    Right.
[03:33] Lucy
    Where's your lab coat?
[03:36] Lucy
    Our first class is pharmacology.
[03:43] Lucy
    I'm opening your closet.
[03:47] Lucy
    Here.
[03:48] Chise
    Th-Thanks.
[03:52] Lucy
    That's all you needed to say.
[04:01] Chise
    Okay.
[04:06] Chise
    Um...
[04:07] Chise
    Jasmine?
[04:08] Jasmine
    Morning.
[04:09] Jasmine
    Did you sleep in, too?
[04:10] Chise
    Something like that.
[04:12] Jasmine
    How can you stand sharing a room with her?
[04:15] Jasmine
    She's abrasive, isn't she?
[04:17] Chise
    Not really.
[04:20] Jasmine
    I've never seen her getting
    along with anyone.
[04:25] Jasmine
    Though, considering the Webster
    Tragedy, I can't blame her.
[04:29] Chise
    The Webster Tragedy?
[04:35] Jasmine
    Pretend you never heard that.
[04:38] Jasmine
    Bye!
[04:41] Jasmine
    You're gonna be late!
[04:47] Chise
    Thanks for helping me clean up.
[04:49] Rian
    I only taught you how to do it.
[04:55] Chise
    So we have normal classes too, huh?
[04:57] Rian
    It's not as though everyone who graduates
    is going to make a living as a sorcerer.
[05:08] Isaac
    Have you been any further than that?
[05:09] Rian
    Isaac and Ivy.
[05:15] Zoe
    Well, I'm gonna go eat in my room.
[05:17] Isaac
    Huh? Sure...
[05:22] Chise
    I'm being avoided.
[05:24] Isaac
    Hatori. Rian.
[05:27] Chise
    You can call me Chise.
[05:28] Isaac
    In that case, call me Isaac, too.
[05:31] Rian
    What about him?
[05:32] Isaac
    Zoe's a new student, too.
[05:35] Isaac
    I've been teaching him stuff.
[05:37] Isaac
    I mean, I'm not from the prestigious
    Seven Shields or anything.
[05:42] Isaac
    But that also means I know how to teach
    in a way that makes sense to people.
[05:47] Chise
    Prestigious?
[05:49] Chise
    The Seven Shields?
[05:52] Isaac
    The Seven Shields are the seven distinguished
     families that founded the College.
[06:01] Isaac
    Roseingrave the Employer,
[06:03] Isaac
    St. George the Hunter,
[06:05] Isaac
    Rickenbacker the Doctor,
[06:07] Isaac
    Forsyth the Strategist,
[06:09] Isaac
    Hohenheim the Alchemist,
[06:11] Isaac
    Nightingale the Musician,
[06:13] Isaac
    Scrimgeour the Protector.
[06:15] Isaac
    You know how a lot of mages
    and sorcerers died in the war?
[06:20] Isaac
    The Seven were concerned that sorcery would
    die away, so they quietly built this College.
[06:25] Isaac
    To be honest, you don't want to
    get too involved with any of them.
[06:29] Rian
    What do you mean by that?
[06:30] Isaac
    You're different, Rian.
[06:32] Rian
    Specifically, the Scrimgeour
    family produced a lot
[06:36] Rian
    of gifted sorcerers who
    would serve as protectors.
[06:39] Rian
    There's still a lot of fighting, so
    sorcerers ask them for their protection.
[06:44] Isaac
    They're like bodyguards.
[06:46] Chise
    I see.
[06:49] Rian
    Well, I'm leaving home, so
    it's not my problem anymore.
[06:55] Chise
    Oh...
[06:57] Chise
    Do you know what the
     "Webster Tragedy" is about?
[07:00] Isaac
    Webster?
[07:02] Isaac
    You mean Lucy?
[07:04] Rian
    Chise.
[07:05] Rian
    Who did you hear about that from?
[07:08] Chise
    From Jasmine. The twin.
[07:13] Isaac
    Looks like this is one of those things that
    we little people are better off not knowing.
[07:17] Chise
    Seems that way.
[07:20] Isaac
    Crap!
[07:21] Isaac
    The next class is about to start.
[07:23] Rian
    I'll see you there.
[07:25] Isaac
    Wait up!
[07:44] Chise
    We run into each other a lot.
[07:46] Lucy
    We're roommates. Of course we do.
[07:49] Chise
    Oh... yeah.
[07:56] Chise
    Ivy.
[07:58] Chise
    Have I done something to you?
[08:02] Chise
    If I have...
[08:18] Zoe
    Give those back!
[08:19] Lucy
    Looks like you didn't hear her.
[08:21] Zoe
    Just give them back!
[08:23] Zoe
    I need those!
[08:24] Lucy
    Look, I don't care if you
    hate her or whatever.
[08:26] Lucy
    But it pisses me off when
     people ignore others.
[08:29] Zoe
    You don't know who she is!
[08:33] Lucy
    What?
[08:34] Zoe
    Hatori!
[08:35] Zoe
    You know better than anyone!
[08:37] Zoe
    You probably think you've
    managed to disguise yourself.
[08:40] Zoe
    But I can tell.
[08:43] Zoe
    You're a monster!
[08:49] Isaac
    So what's that Tragedy about?
[08:52] Rian
    You're better off not knowing.
[08:54] Rian
    You said it yourself.
[09:04] Isaac
    Snakes?
[09:10] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    Listen up, Zoe.
[09:12] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    You're special.
[09:15] Zoe
    Special...
[09:20] Chise
    His hair turned into snakes.
[09:22] Lucy
    Don't tell me...
[09:24] Zoe
    Don't look at me!
[09:28] Isaac
    Wait, who was that?
[09:30] Chise
    Ivy...
[09:31] Isaac
    Zoe?
[09:32] Chise
    Ruth, please.
[09:34] Ruth
    Got it.
[09:35] Isaac
    A familiar?!
[09:37] Rian
    What happened?
[09:38] Chise
    His headphones got taken off.
[09:40] Chise
    Then he got angry, and...
[09:42] Isaac
    Those aren't headphones.
[09:44] Isaac
    They're earmuffs.
[09:46] Isaac
    To keep sound out.
[09:47] Isaac
    People with hypersensitive
    hearing wear them.
[09:50] Isaac
    Hearing too much is a problem
     for them, apparently.
[09:53] Isaac
    They can't filter out auditory
    information by themselves.
[09:58] Rian
    Where to?
[10:00] Chise
    I have to apologize.
[10:02] Rian
    We're going to have to deal with this.
[10:04] Isaac
    Yeah.
[10:08] Rian
    Aren't you coming?
[10:09] Lucy
    You're sure being kind, nobleman.
[10:11] Rian
    My family is irrelevant—
[10:13] Lucy
    They are relevant.
[10:15] Rian
    Webster, as long as you're
    the one holding those,
[10:18] Rian
    don't you also owe an apology?
[10:32] Lucy
    So he's a Gorgon.
[10:35] Chise
    A Gorgon?
[10:36] Rian
    A monster that comes up in Greek mythology.
[10:39] Rian
    "Gorgon" was originally the name of an old
    god, but it's used as a family name now.
[10:46] Rian
    They get treated the same as
    anyone else now, but in the past,
[10:51] Rian
    they were hunted for their
    flesh, bodily fluids, and eyes.
[10:54] Rian
    Their kind need to be protected.
[10:57] Isaac
    I can't believe one of them would
    be in the College, though.
[11:00] Chise
    Why's that?
[11:02] Rian
    Gorgons can't speak with humans.
[11:04] Isaac
    Their vocal range is quite a bit
     different from a human's.
[11:08] Isaac
    And worst of all, their eyes...
[11:12] Isaac
    They immobilize anyone they make eye contact with.
[11:15] Isaac
    Supposedly, anyway.
[11:19] Lucy
    Where are we even going?
[11:22] Chise
    That won't be a problem.
[11:34] Chise
    Where are we?
[11:36] Lucy
    The private gardens.
[11:38] Lucy
    They're set up so that you
    don't know who's inside.
[11:41] Lucy
    It suppresses sound to some extent, too.
[11:46] Ruth
    The smell of greenery is oddly strong here.
[11:49] Ruth
    It's making him hard to track.
[11:51] Chise
    All right.
[11:54] Ruth
    Now I can follow him.
[11:55] Chise
    Yeah.
[12:16] Chise
    Ivy?
[12:20] Zoe
    Why?
[12:21] Zoe
    Are you here to laugh at me?
     Because I'm a failure?
[12:25] Zoe
    Damn it...
[12:26] Zoe
    I was doing all right until now.
[12:28] Zoe
    Shit!
[12:29] Chise
    I think there's been a misunderstanding.
[12:35] Zoe
    I told you to stay away!
[12:40] Chise
    Sorry.
[12:42] Chise
    I know you're not trying to hurt me.
[12:45] Zoe
    Huh?
[12:47] Zoe
    Seriously, what's wrong with you?
[12:51] Lucy
    Take them back.
[12:53] Lucy
    Sorry for taking them from you.
[12:56] Zoe
    Y-Yeah...
[13:03] Lucy
    I heard it's for soundproofing.
    You can hear me, though, yeah?
[13:06] Lucy
    You good now?
[13:07] Lucy
    Feeling all right?
[13:07] Lucy
    How about you, Chise?
[13:08] Lucy
    Did you get bit?
[13:09] Lucy
    Are you okay with snakes?
[13:10] Chise & Zoe
    I-I'm fine.
[13:13] Rian
    Look at that.
[13:14] Rian
    She can do fine when she tries.
[13:16] Isaac
    My older sister's like that, too.
[13:19] Lucy
    Ivy, are you a Gorgon?
[13:22] Lucy
    Why are you at the College?
[13:24] Lucy
    Oh, I'm not accusing you of anything.
[13:27] Lucy
    I just want to know why.
[13:30] Lucy
    You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
[13:31] Lucy
    Everyone's got something they
    don't want to talk about.
[13:34] Zoe
    Will you keep it a secret?
[13:36] Rian
    We can form a contract if you need.
[13:39] Lucy
    Must you do absolutely
     everything by the book?
[13:41] Rian
    Contracts are important.
[13:43] Zoe
    No, it's fine.
[13:46] Zoe
    It's honestly been a bit annoying.
[13:49] Zoe
    I'm better off being found out.
[13:52] Zoe
    This was my first time coming
    to a place like this.
[14:02] Zoe
    My mom was born in a secret Gorgon
    settlement by the Black Sea.
[14:08] Zoe
    And she met my dad, who was a sorcerer
    and demi-human languages researcher.
[14:14] Zoe
    They laid an egg. That was me.
[14:18] All
    An egg?!
[14:18] Zoe
    What?!
[14:20] Zoe
    Is there a problem with me
    being hatched from an egg?!
[14:22] Isaac
    I mean, I guess eggs are more
    productive—I mean, more stable.
[14:27] Zoe
    I've always been going back and
    forth between snake and human.
[14:33] Zoe
    I've always needed to have
    earmuffs and goggles with me.
[14:36] Zoe
    I'm unusually affected by light and
    unusually sensitive to smells.
[14:42] Zoe
    And I have almost no ability to use my eyes.
[14:45] Zoe
    Without my special earmuffs,
    my hair tries to turn into snakes.
[14:50] Zoe
    My body sucks.
[14:52] Chise
    That must have been tough.
[14:54] Isaac
    So why did you come to the College?
[14:57] Zoe
    My dad...
[15:00] (Flashback) Zoe
    I'm afraid of going outside.
[15:02] (Flashback) Zoe
    People tell me there's something
    wrong with me even in the village.
[15:06] (Flashback) Zoe
    I'm afraid humans are going
    to tell me I'm weird, too.
[15:09] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    Everyone's got secrets.
[15:11] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    Despite that, people are generally nice.
[15:13] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    I'm sure you'll make friends, too.
[15:15] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    So go to the College and get some studying done.
[15:19] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    I'm so worried about you,
    I can't even go do my fieldwork.
[15:23] Zoe
    He was just thinking about his fieldwork!
[15:25] Rian
    He's a sorcerer.
[15:26] Isaac
    He's a researcher, after all.
[15:28] Zoe
    Are sorcerers all like this?
[15:32] Zoe
    So that's why I'm here.
     To train myself to be outside.
[15:36] Zoe
    What about you, Hatori?
[15:38] Zoe
    You aren't human either, are you?
[15:40] Chise
    Well...
[15:42] Chise
    It might be because of this.
[15:44] Isaac
    Wow, it's pitch black.
[15:46] Lucy
    What have you done?
[15:48] Chise
    Well, I was cursed by a dragon recently.
[15:51] All
    A dragon?!
[15:53] Zoe
    Is this what dragons smell like?
[15:55] Zoe
    It smells so toxic.
[15:57] Chise
    I think that's because it's a curse.
[16:00] Zoe
    As Gorgons, we're taught that
    our ancestors were dragons.
[16:04] Zoe
    That's why we get riled up
     when we see dragons.
[16:08] Zoe
    I wonder if that's why I get annoyed.
[16:11] Zoe
    I do feel bad about what I did.
[16:13] Zoe
    But here I am, trying really hard to keep
    myself from sticking my tongues out,
[16:17] Zoe
    when this person comes along like catnip...
[16:20] Zoe
    You get what I'm going through, right?
[16:22] Chise
    Y-Yeah.
[16:25] Chise
    Hatori, is there something
    other than the dragon...
[16:28] Chise
    S-Sorry!
[16:30] Chise
    My snakes!
[16:32] Lucy
    It's fine.
[16:34] Lucy
    They're such a nice spring green.
     I'd love a dye in this color.
[16:37] Lucy
    It's beautiful.
[16:41] Zoe's Father
    It'll be fine, Zoe.
[16:43] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    You're special, for better or worse.
[16:46] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    We were the ones who birthed you that way,
[16:49] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    but we don't regret it,
    so we can't apologize for it.
[16:51] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    So at least we'll create
     an opportunity for you
[16:55] (Flashback) Zoe's Father
    to meet someone who would
    say you're beautiful.
[16:59] Zoe
    I hate to admit it, but he got
    his wish sooner than I expected.
[17:02] Lucy
    Besides, would anyone here
    really be surprised
[17:04] Lucy
    to see someone with snakes for a hair?
[17:07] Lucy
    Look at the instructors.
[17:09] Zoe
    The instructors are all human.
[17:12] Zoe
    I'm scared, though. Really.
[17:15] Zoe
    There are still people who fall victim
    to hunters and never come home.
[17:20] Lucy
    So you're not here to
     become a sorcerer, then?
[17:24] Zoe
    Of course not.
[17:25] Zoe
    That's a human thing to do, isn't it?
[17:29] Rian
    By the way, what do you want to do?
[17:31] Rian
    If you want to keep it secret, we should
    consider using a contract spell—
[17:39] Ruth
    I caught her listening.
[17:45] Chise
    Philomela.
[17:47] Ruth
    She followed us and tried
    to eavesdrop or peep.
[17:52] Ruth
    What do you think you're doing?
[17:54] Philomela
    Practicing...
[17:57] Rian
    Her family specializes in intelligence.
[18:00] Rian
    Are they making you do
     that even in the College?
[18:07] Rian
    I've told you to stop going silent every
    time you're in trouble, haven't I?
[18:11] Chise
    What's your relationship with her?
[18:13] Rian
    She's my second cousin.
[18:16] Rian
    Did you hear what we were saying in there?
[18:19] Philomela
    About Chise and Ivy.
[18:22] Rian
    You got past the noise suppression sorcery.
[18:25] Zoe
    Are you going to sell me to someone?
[18:27] Philomela
    I have no intention of telling anyone.
[18:31] Lucy
    And if someone asks you?
[18:33] Philomela
    I don't know.
[18:35] Philomela
    I don't have the right to refuse.
[18:40] Rian
    We have no choice.
[18:41] Rian
    We'll use the contract spell.
[18:44] Rian
    It'll burn your throat if
    you try to tell someone.
[18:48] Rian
    And it'll burn your fingers
    if you try to write it down.
[18:50] Isaac
    That's a bit much...
[18:53] Chise
    Um, so... in my case, I'm just trying to
    keep my secret as much as I can.
[18:57] Chise
    But I'd really rather you
    not tell anyone about Ivy.
[19:01] Philomela
    If that's an order,
    I'd prefer you make it clear.
[19:05] Chise
    It's not an order.
[19:07] Chise
    Um...
[19:10] Chise
    It's a request, I guess.
[19:16] Philomela
    All right.
[19:20] Rian
    Blessings upon they who adhere.
[19:23] Rian
    Punishment upon they who breach.
[19:27] Rian
    A warning to they who possess wisdom.
[19:30] Rian
    A song of doom to
    the mouths of the ignorant.
[19:33] Rian
    A silver tongue bares wisdom.
[19:36] Rian
    A lead tongue is forsaken by the Lord.
[19:39] Rian
    Thou shalt not speak.
[19:42] Rian
    Thou shalt not write.
[19:45] Rian
    The ring of the pact,
    the snake in a river of grief.
[19:49] Rian
    Consume the flesh of they who speak.
[19:52] Rian
    Drink the blood of they who write.
[19:55] Rian
    The song of betrayal
     will not be forgiven.
[20:08] Rian
    And the pact is made.
[20:16] Zoe
    Chise...
[20:18] Zoe
    I haven't apologized yet.
[20:20] Zoe
    Sorry for ignoring you and
    getting angry and stuff.
[20:25] Chise
    I wasn't bothered by it.
[20:33] Lucy
    I still don't trust you.
[20:36] Lucy
    Sneaking around like that...
[20:38] Lucy
    My family died because of people like you.
[20:56] Rian
    I heard you told Chise about the Websters.
[20:59] Rian
    Jasmine.
[21:03] Rian
    You shouldn't bring that family up.
[21:06] Jasmine
    It just slipped out by accident.
[21:08] Rian
    Bear in mind that you're a member
     of one of the Seven Shields families.
[21:12] Jasmine
    You Scrimgeours sure are wise.
[21:16] Rian
    Spare me the self-depreciation, St. George.
[21:19] Rian
    Besides, I've already decided
    I'm going to be by myself.
[21:24] Jasmine
    Do you honestly think we
    can abandon our own blood?
[21:33] Jasmine
    Rian!
[21:37] Jasmine
    What's his problem?
[21:38] Jasmine
    He's so aggressive.
[21:45] Jasmine
    You were here, Violet?
[21:47] Violet
    Rian is too condescending.
[21:51] Violet
    He puts on that face like
    he's above everyone else.
[21:55] Violet
    Truly arrogant.
[21:58] Violet
    If things get really bad, we can
    find a master and run away.
[22:02] Jasmine
    Huh?
[22:03] Violet
    Mister Ainsworth said we might have
    aptitude to become mages, remember?
[22:09] Jasmine
    But...
[22:14] Violet
    We can make all the escape routes we need.
[22:19] Violet
    Why not?
