**[00:01] King**
That can't be!
**[00:03] King**
Cain, were you really with the first king?
**[00:06] Cain**
Yes. He created a separate world,
**[00:10] Cain**
and he's been living there
as its God of Creation.
**[00:14] Magna**
How can that be? It's impossible!
**[00:17] Cain**
Also, he gave me this.
**[00:21] Eric/King/Magna**
Th-That's...
**[00:23] King**
The so-called "katana" that the
first king is said to have used?!
**[00:29] King**
I see... You really did see him...
**[00:33] King**
And it says in this letter that
the first king trained you?
**[00:38] Cain**
Yes, and it was incredibly tough training!
**[00:42] Cain**
He made me traverse a forest that
was teeming with vicious monsters,
**[00:46] Cain**
fight mock battles until
I collapsed every single day...
**[00:49] Cain**
I was forced to train day and night.
**[00:53] Cain**
For five years!
**[00:55] King**
F-Five years?!
**[00:56] King**
Cain, what did you just say?!
**[00:59] Cain**
Huh?
**[01:00] King**
How could it have been five years?!
**[01:03] Cain**
Oops!
**[01:05] Eric**
You truly are amusing, Cain,
even after five years.
**[01:10] Eric**
By the way, while you were gone, a notice
came in from the adventurers' guild.
**[01:15] Cain**
Huh?
**[01:16] Eric**
You forgot to accept the quest
needed to advance to A-rank.
**[01:20] Eric**
If you don't act on it,
your registration will be canceled.
**[01:24] Cain**
What?!
**[01:27] Cain**
I've reincarnated as a noble and just
came back after some off-the-charts training
**[01:30] Cain**
to learn that my A-rank registration
was in danger of cancellation.
**[01:34] Cain**
But that careless part of
me hasn't changed a bit.

**[03:11] Retia**
Guild Master,
**[03:13] Retia**
Master Cain is here to see you.
**[03:15] Cain**
Um, what's all this about my
registration being canceled?!
**[03:19] Edin**
I've been worried since you haven't
come by to accept any quests.
**[03:23] Cain**
I'm sorry. I haven't had many free days
since starting at the academy.
**[03:27] Cain**
Plus, various other things happened...
**[03:29] Edin**
You stayed somewhere unannounced, did you?
**[03:31] Edin**
Tijuana was so sad you were gone.
**[03:34] Edin**
She said since she couldn't fight mock battles,
her bottled-up love might explode.
**[03:39] Cain**
Anyway, um... About you
canceling my registration...
**[03:43] Edin**
When I promoted you to A-rank,
**[03:45] Edin**
I told you there was a quest
you needed to complete, didn't I?
**[03:49] Edin**
The time limit on it is almost up.
**[03:51] Edin**
You need to hurry, or your guild
registration will be canceled.
**[03:54] Cain**
Please don't do that!
**[03:56] Edin**
So you'll accept the quest right away, then?
**[03:59] Cain**
Huh? Right now?
**[04:02] Edin**
Or should I cancel your registration?
**[04:03] Cain**
Please let me do it!
**[04:05] Edin**
As I told you before, I need
you to subjugate some bandits.
**[04:08] Cain**
And all I need to do is capture them, right?
**[04:12] Edin**
The bandits in question show up on the
route from Gracia to the royal capital.
**[04:17] Edin**
They're a group of ten or so.
Think you can handle it?
**[04:20] Edin**
Well, I guess it's silly to ask that, huh?
**[04:22] Edin**
You're the strongest guy in the capital.
**[04:26] Cain**
Well, I'll look into it, anyway.
**[04:28] Edin**
Please do.
**[04:35] Cain**
Fly!
**[04:42] Cain**
Is that...
**[04:46] Cain**
Found them!
**[04:48] Cain**
Let me help you!
**[04:49] Nina**
Cain?
**[04:51] Cain**
Huh?
**[04:52] Cain**
Maestra Nina?!
**[04:53] Cain**
And Sabinos... and Maestra Millie?!
**[04:58] Cain**
You're hurt!
**[04:59] Cain**
Maestra!
**[05:00] Millie**
Cain!
**[05:01] BanditA**
You little brat!
**[05:03] Cain**
High Heal!
**[05:05] Millie**
Thanks. I guess there were
a few too many for us.
**[05:08] BanditB**
And how's one more on
your side gonna help you?
**[05:11] BanditB**
Little kids should just stay home
suckling on their mommy's teat!
**[05:16] Cain**
Is that all you'd like to say?
**[05:19] Cain**
You'll pay dearly for
injuring Maestra Millie.
**[05:22] BanditA**
Say that again, brat!
**[05:25] Cain**
Boost!
**[05:29] BanditC**
Damn you!
**[05:34] BanditB**
Hey, you!
**[05:39] Bandits**
Get him!
**[05:47] Cain**
Holding back really is hard.
**[05:50] Cain**
Isn't it?
**[05:51] Nina/Millie**
Scary!
**[05:53] Sabinos**
Thank you so much, Master Cain.
**[05:56] Cain**
Not at all. I'm just glad you're all safe.
**[05:59] Millie**
What are you doing out here, though?
**[06:01] Cain**
I accepted a subjugation
quest from the guild!
**[06:04] Millie**
Accepted a...
**[06:06] Millie**
Wait a minute!
You're still twelve, aren't you?!
**[06:09] Millie**
Didn't you only just
register with the guild?!
**[06:11] Nina**
Subjugation quests are only for
those with C-rank or higher...
**[06:16] Millie**
A-rank?!
**[06:18] Millie**
Cain, you skipped C- and B-rank?!
***SIGN*** C-rank
***SIGN*** B-rank
**[06:21] Millie**
You're A-rank already?!
**[06:24] Cain**
Yep!
**[06:25] Cain**
Some things happened, and I got
a compulsory promotion to A-rank.
**[06:29] Sabinos**
That's a really big deal, isn't it?
**[06:31] Nina/Millie**
Of course it is!
**[06:32] Sabinos**
Oh... So that's how he took
out the bandits so easily.
**[06:36] Sabinos**
Still, it's great that they're captured,
but what do we do with them?
**[06:41] Cain**
No need to worry about that!
**[06:43] Cain**
I'm A-rank, after all!
**[06:53] Woman1**
Do they feel no shame?
**[06:55] Woman2**
Those boys are already done for.
**[07:01] Sabinos**
Thank you very much.
**[07:03] Sabinos**
Please escort them safely home, as well.
**[07:07] Parma**
Dad!
**[07:08] Parma**
Master Cain is with you?
**[07:10] Cain**
Hi, Parma.
**[07:13] Parma**
What in the world is this?!
**[07:15] Cain**
Bandits I captured for a quest
from the adventurers' guild.
**[07:19] Sabinos**
He saved us when we were attacked
on the way to the capital.
**[07:23] Parma**
You did that? Really?
**[07:24] Cain**
Well, the guys attacking him just happened
to be the ones I needed for the quest.
**[07:29] Parma**
We're off school today,
and you still had to work so hard.
**[07:33] Parma**
I'm sure you have baron work to do, too.
**[07:35] Nina/Millie**
Baron?!
**[07:37] Millie**
Cain, you're a baron now?
**[07:39] Cain**
Well, yeah...
**[07:40] Millie**
Then I shouldn't talk to you like
an old friend anymore, should I?
**[07:43] Millie**
I have to call you Baron Cain!
**[07:46] Millie**
You, too, Nina!
**[07:47] Nina**
He's a gold digger's dream.
**[07:48] Cain**
Huh? Please don't do that.
**[07:50] Cain**
You two are still my maestras.
**[07:53] Cain**
You can just call me "Cain," as usual.
**[07:56] Millie**
Really? We appreciate that!
**[07:58] Millie**
That's what we'll do, then.
**[08:00] Millie**
Still, you've really grown up
in just a few years, huh?
**[08:03] Millie**
You're practically an adult now!
**[08:08] Cain**
Please stop playing around!
**[08:10] Cain**
I need to go report to the guild now!
**[08:13] Cain**
Bye, Parma! See you at school!
**[08:15] Millie**
Hey! Cain!
**[08:17] Millie**
We'll go with you! Wait!
**[08:23] Cain**
Here you go.
**[08:24] Cain**
I also got Sabinos's testimony
confirming the subjugation.
**[08:28] Cain**
The bandits are being held
in a carriage out front.
**[08:31] Retia**
What?! You finished it already?
**[08:33] Retia**
I'll let the guild master
know right away, then.
**[08:37] Cain**
Please do!
**[08:38] Crosse**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[08:39] Crosse**
If it isn't Millie!
**[08:43] Crosse**
Let me show you around the capital.
**[08:46] Millie**
Hmph. You guys again, huh?
**[08:48] Nina**
Not interested.
**[08:50] Crosse**
Aw, why not?
**[08:52] Crosse**
Come hang out for a while!
**[08:54] Cain**
Would you leave them alone
and go away, please?
**[08:58] Crosse**
Who the hell are... Wait...
**[09:04] Crosse**
You're that kid from before!
**[09:08] Claude**
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
**[09:10] Claude**
I wondered who was emitting
such a murderous aura.
**[09:13] Claude**
So it's you, Cain.
**[09:14] Cain**
Claude!
**[09:16] Crosse/Guys**
It's him!
**[09:19] Claude**
Most adventurers would have a
tough time with a group like that.
**[09:22] Cain**
Well, they were bothering my friends!
**[09:24] Claude**
Your friends? Who?
**[09:27] Millie**
That'd be us, bro!
**[09:29] Claude**
Wait, your "friends" are...
**[09:31] Claude**
Millie and Nina?!
**[09:33] Cain**
What? How do you two know my maestras?
**[09:38] Claude**
Your maestras?
**[09:39] Claude**
Millie is my kid sister.
**[09:41] Cain**
What?!
**[09:43] Lina**
I'm more surprised that you know them. How?
**[09:48] Millie**
How? Nina and I were Cain's tutors
starting when he was five.
**[09:53] Claude**
Oh, so that's why he called you his maestras.
**[09:56] Claude**
I remember you mentioning
that in a letter now.
**[10:00] Claude**
Awesome! Talk about a coincidence!
**[10:03] Claude**
All right! This calls for drinks—
**[10:07] Lina**
You'll turn anything into an excuse to drink.
**[10:11] Claude**
But... it's a happy occasion.
**[10:14] All**
Cheers!
**[10:16] Claude**
Why were you guys all together today?
**[10:19] Millie**
Because Cain showed up while
we were on an escort mission,
**[10:24] Millie**
and when bandits showed up, he clobbered
them! Wham, wham, wham, wham!
**[10:28] Nina**
Cain is A-rank already.
**[10:30] Claude**
Huh?!
**[10:32] Claude**
How did you get to A-rank so quickly?
**[10:34] Claude**
Didn't you just register days ago?
**[10:37] Claude**
Though, as strong as you are,
I shouldn't be surprised.
**[10:41] Claude**
You were the only student who really
kept up with me during the exams, too.
**[10:45] Millie**
What?! You actually kept up with my brother?!
**[10:49] Millie**
But he got to A-rank using his
sword alone, without using magic!
**[10:55] Millie**
And you were a match for him?
**[10:57] Nina**
Cain isn't just some margrave's son.
**[11:00] Nina**
He's already been appointed
his own domain as a baron.
**[11:04] Nina**
He's a gold digger's dream.
**[11:05] Claude/Lina**
A baron?!
**[11:07] Lina**
And you just said something
really rude to him!
**[11:09] Claude**
I'm sorry! Please don't have me
charged with insulting a noble!
**[11:11] Cain**
I won't!
**[11:13] Millie**
You're just one surprise after another, Cain.
**[11:16] Millie**
How did you get so strong?
**[11:19] Cain**
*I can't tell her*
**[11:21] Cain**
*that I was trained by the gods!*
**[11:25] Millie**
Well, you were killing red
dragons even as a little kid.
**[11:29] Cain**
Exactly!
**[11:30] Claude**
Red dragons? Those are SS-rank level.
**[11:34] Claude**
You're taking out some real beasts.
**[11:36] Millie**
And he gave me this magic bag!
**[11:40] Nina**
Me, too.
**[11:41] Lina**
Hang on a second!
**[11:42] Lina**
What is that? You got it from Cain?
How much does it hold?
**[11:46] Millie**
Uh... How much, actually?
**[11:49] Millie**
Mine's never been full, so I'm not sure.
**[11:54] Lina**
Cain...
**[11:56] Lina**
Tell me the truth.
**[11:58] Lina**
Where did those things come from?
**[12:00] Cain**
I made them.
**[12:02] Lina**
And how much do they actually hold?
**[12:05] Cain**
Uh... well...
**[12:07] Nina**
Cain told us that a mansion
would fit in them.
**[12:10] Lina**
Th-That makes them...
**[12:13] Lina**
national treasure class?!
**[12:15] Lina**
Cain!
**[12:16] Lain**
How are you able to make something like that?
**[12:19] Lina**
Our bags don't hold very much at all.
**[12:22] Cain**
Okay, I understand!
I'd be happy to make one for you!
**[12:27] Lina**
Thank you, Cain!
**[12:29] Lina**
Thank...
**[12:31] Cain**
H-Huh?!
**[12:33] Claude**
Sorry about that. Lina can't hold her liquor.
**[12:36] Claude**
Don't worry. She won't remember
any of this tomorrow.
**[12:41] Cain**
So by tomorrow...
**[12:44] Cain**
I forgot! I have school tomorrow!
**[12:48] Claude**
School?
**[12:49] Cain**
I don't have time for this!
**[12:50] Cain**
I took all of last week off!
I have to be there this week!
**[12:55] Claude**
Why does a noble with his own
domain need to go to school?
**[13:01] Claude**
Don't you feel like you don't fit in?
**[13:03] Cain**
Gurk...
**[13:04] Cain**
Well, yes, I do...
**[13:06] Cain**
But there's still a lot I don't know,
so I think... I need to study...
**[13:13] Nina**
Cain.
**[13:15] Nina**
Good boy.
**[13:17] Nina**
I'll give you a hug.
**[13:19] Cain**
I-I've gotta get ready for school!
**[13:21] Claude**
He's definitely having a rough time.
**[13:24] Claude**
If only we could do something for him...
**[13:28] Millie**
Retia? What's up?
**[13:31] Retia**
Well, the instructor who
accepted a quest to teach
**[13:34] Retia**
an adventuring class at the
school tomorrow is injured,
**[13:38] Retia**
so we're looking for a
last-minute substitute.
**[13:41] Claude**
A substitute... at the school? Hmm...
**[13:46] Claude**
Retia!
**[13:47] Claude**
Could you tell me a bit more about it?
**[13:57] Elka**
Our magic class will now begin.
**[13:59] Elka**
Hit the targets with whatever
spell you think you're best at.
**[14:03] Students**
Yes, ma'am.
**[14:04] Elka**
If you do anything wrong,
I'll tell you once everyone is done.
**[14:07] Cain**
Okay, here we go! I'll show her
what training with Yuuya taught me!
**[14:11] Elka**
But first, is Cain von Silford here?
**[14:14] Cain**
Yes, ma'am!
**[14:15] Elka**
You are forbidden from using
attack magic on school grounds.
**[14:19] Elka**
You will only observe this lesson.
**[14:21] Cain**
What?!
**[14:22] Elka**
All teachers in the academy
have been notified of this.
**[14:26] Elka**
Even your beginner-level magic is
more than the barrier can handle.
**[14:30] Cain**
You're kidding!
**[14:32] Elka**
The headmaster told me to just go ahead
and give you credit for this class,
**[14:37] Elka**
so you don't need to worry about anything.
**[14:40] Claude**
Cain really doesn't fit in
with the rest of them.
**[14:43] Millie**
I'm worried about him.
**[14:45] Nina**
Poor thing.
**[14:46] Claude**
I guess it's up to us to give him a hand.
**[14:50] Claude**
Ready? We'll do as we discussed.
**[14:53] Nina/Millie**
Roger!
**[14:57] Bogan**
I'm Bogan, your adventuring teacher.
**[14:59] Bogan**
I specialize as a vanguard swordsman.
**[15:02] Bogan**
I've asked an adventurer from
the guild to join us today.
**[15:09] Cain**
Claude!
**[15:10] StudentA**
Oh! I know them!
**[15:12] StudentB**
They're from Ice Flame.
That's his partner, Lina.
**[15:15] StudentC**
Their aura is totally different
from the other two.
**[15:18] Bogan**
The plan was to have a
C-rank adventurer come,
**[15:22] Bogan**
but the adventurers' guild did us a favor.
**[15:25] Bogan**
These are A-rankers Claude and Lina,
***SIGN*** A-rank
**[15:27] Bogan**
and these are B-rankers Millie and Nina.
They're here to teach you today.
***SIGN*** B-rank
**[15:34] Cain**
* They should've told me yesterday*
* that they were coming.*
**[15:38] Claude**
How many of you are registered adventurers?
**[15:41] Students**
Me! Me! Me!
**[15:42] Claude**
All of you, huh? Makes sense that you
chose the adventuring course, then.
**[15:47] Claude**
Okay! Anyone who has a
guild card, let's see it.
**[15:50] Cain**
Huh?!
**[15:54] Claude**
What's wrong?
**[15:55] Claude**
Do you not have a guild card?
**[15:58] Claude**
C'mon, take it out.
**[16:00] Cain**
*Claude! Everyone in here is newly registered!*
**[16:04] Cain**
*If I just whip out my gold card right now...*
**[16:08] Students**
What?! How do you have a gold card?!
**[16:11] Cain**
*They'll be even more put off!*
**[16:14] Claude**
What's wrong, young man? Where's your card?
**[16:23] Cain**
I forgot it.
**[16:25] Claude**
Are you serious?
**[16:26] Cain**
Yes.
**[16:27] Claude**
I see. Can't help that, then.
**[16:30] Claude**
But from now on, keep it
with you at all times.
**[16:34] Claude**
It'll serve as your ID if anything happens.
**[16:37] Claude**
Make absolutely sure you don't forget it.
**[16:40] Millie**
Did you see how they all looked at him?
**[16:43] Millie**
Cain really is pretty heavily isolated.
**[16:46] Nina**
This'll be tough.
**[16:47] Claude**
We'll have to use our trump card.
**[16:52] Claude**
Let's get right into the mock battles.
**[16:55] Claude**
The most basic element of these battles
is physical enhancement, or Boost.
**[16:58] Claude**
Make sure you learn it.
**[17:00] Millie**
We'll start with whoever is ready.
**[17:02] Students**
Me!
**[17:03] Studentア**
Let me go first, please!
**[17:05] Studentイ**
And me!
**[17:06] Millie**
Everyone else, please stand
back a bit and wait your turn.
**[17:09] Cain**
All right!
**[17:10] Cain**
I can show at least a little bit of what
I can really do if I'm fighting Claude!
**[17:16] Studentア**
Thank you, sir!
**[17:18] Cain**
Okay, I'll go next—
**[17:19] StudentA**
My turn!
**[17:20] Claude**
Okay, come at me!
**[17:22] Claude**
Here I go!
**[17:24] Cain**
Well, then, Lina...
**[17:26] Lina**
We're using magic only.
**[17:27] Nina**
You're not allowed to use attack magic.
**[17:35] Cain**
I'm missing out on the mock battles...
**[17:38] Cain**
This is just like how things always go.
**[17:41] Claude**
*Cain...*
**[17:43] Claude**
*It's not your time yet.*
**[17:45] Millie**
* We need to show the students*
* how strong we are first.*
**[17:49] Lina**
* Then, once we've built up*
* some anticipation, you're up.*
**[17:52] Lina**
*If you can prove an even match for us...*
**[17:55] Nina**
* They'll be so stunned by your strength*
* that by the time this lesson's over...*
**[18:00] Four**
*You'll be the hero of the whole class!*
**[18:03] Cain**
*Darn it, we're gonna run out of time!*
**[18:06] StudentB**
Thank you, sir!
**[18:08] Cain**
*Fidget, fidget...*
**[18:08] Claude**
Who's next?
**[18:09] Cain**
Me! Me!
**[18:09] StudentC**
Me, please!
**[18:10] Cain**
What? Why?
**[18:12] StudentD**
No cutting in line.
**[18:14] Cain**
Wh-What?!
**[18:16] StudentC**
Thank you, sir!
**[18:18] Claude**
Next!
**[18:19] StudentD**
Yes, sir!
**[18:20] Claude**
Next!
**[18:20] Cain**
Is it my turn yet?
**[18:22] Claude**
Next!
**[18:22] StudentE**
Yes, sir!
**[18:23] Cain**
Almost...
**[18:24] Claude**
Next!
**[18:24] StudentF**
Yes, sir!
**[18:25] Cain**
*Hurry! Hurry!*
**[18:27] Claude**
Next!
**[18:27] StudentG**
Yes, sir!
**[18:28] Cain**
*Just one more!*
**[18:32] Cain**
Finally!
**[18:35] Claude**
Let's go!
**[18:36] Cain**
Right!
**[18:43] Bogan**
Stop!
**[18:44] Cain**
What?! Wait a minute, please!
I still haven't...
**[18:47] Bogan**
Yes, but this class period is over.
**[18:51] Claude**
Sorry, Cain. I got the time allotment wrong.
**[18:54] Claude**
Next time! Next time we're here, okay?
**[18:56] Bogan**
There won't be a next time.
**[18:58] Bogan**
Calling in special teachers for adventuring
is off our schedule for a while.
**[19:02] Cain**
Why?!
**[19:03] Bogan**
We don't have the budget.
**[19:05] Bogan**
Repairing the damage you did
cost us a lot of money.
**[19:10] Bogan**
Everyone, be sure to thank
Claude and the others.
**[19:13] Students**
Thank you very much!
**[19:15] Cain**
No way...
**[19:17] Cain**
Claude!
**[19:19] Claude**
Well, bye!
**[19:24] Cain**
Claude, you... Claude, you...
**[19:31] Cain**
Claude, you...
**[19:34] Cain**
Claude, you...
**[19:41] Cain**
Claude, you jerk!
**[19:49] Guard**
Whoa! There's trouble!
**[19:50] Guard**
The Prince of Darkness!
It's the Prince of Darkness!
**[19:59] Woman**
Oh, gods...
**[20:01] Guard**
Hurry! Don't fall behind!
**[20:03] Garm**
Follow me! It's the Prince of Darkness!
**[20:06] Garm**
Follow me! Follow me!
**[20:10] Cain**
I feel better now.
**[20:13] Garm**
Follow me! Follow me! Follow me!
**[20:20] Garm**
What is this?!
**[20:23] Garm**
A hole?!
**[20:32] King**
Cain...
**[20:34] King**
I received an urgent message from
Garm as he was returning to Gracia.
**[20:38] King**
He said the Prince of Darkness
appeared in the Forest of Monsters.
**[20:41] King**
The forest was razed,
**[20:43] King**
burning rocks rained down from the sky,
**[20:46] King**
and several large craters
were left in the ground.
**[20:50] King**
Cain, did you not receive a warning
from the gods as their Chosen?
**[20:54] Cain**
Uh... No, not really...
**[20:56] Magna**
Your Majesty, this is a
disaster for our kingdom.
**[20:59] Magna**
It may become necessary to
work with other nations...
**[21:02] Cain**
No! I don't think we need to do that!
**[21:05] King**
What makes you think that?
**[21:06] Cain**
Uh... well... just a hunch...
**[21:09] King**
Cain.
**[21:10] King**
Are you hiding something from me?
**[21:14] Cain**
Uh, no...
**[21:17] King**
Cain!
**[21:19] Cain**
Your Majesty!
**[21:21] Cain**
I'm sorry! That was...
**[21:39] Aaron**
The seal has weakened, has it?
**[21:44] Aaron**
It's still just one part of my body...
**[21:48] Aaron**
But I suppose it'll have to do.
**[21:51] Aaron**
Just watch,
**[21:52] Aaron**
you old geezers!
**[23:26] Garm**
You know what this means, don't you?!
**[23:28] Cain**
Yes...
**[23:28] Garm**
I told you not to make me
keep scolding you about this,
**[23:31] Garm**
and now you've made me do it again!
**[23:31] Cain**
Sorry...
