[00:47] Grey
I..
[00:55] Grey
Had become king.
[01:40] Grey
The most powerful king.
[01:58] Grey
That's what I...
[02:01] Grey
That's right.
[02:04] Grey
I was...
[02:08] Grey
a king.
[02:26] Sylvie
Please...
[02:40] Sylvie
In your new life,
[02:43] Sylvie
seek the light.
[02:53] Alice
Look, Rey!
[02:54] Rey
Yeah. His hair's the exact
same shade as yours.
[02:58] Alice
But his eyes are like yours!
[03:00] Grey
Who's there?
[03:02] Grey
Where am I?
[03:04] Rey
Hey there, little Arthur.
[03:08] Rey
I'm Reynolds!
[03:10] Rey
Your daddy. Can you say daddy?
[03:13] Grey
I don't know him.
[03:15] Alice
Come on, it's too early for that.
[03:18] Grey
Or her.
[03:20] Grey
Who are these people?
[03:23] Rey
I'm your daddy, Arthur!
[03:25] Alice
And I'm your mommy, Arthur!
[03:28] Grey
These people...
[03:30] Grey
They claim to be my parents.
[03:33] Grey
If that's true...
[03:37] Grey
Was I...
[03:41] Grey
Was I
[03:44] Grey
just born?
SIGN The Rebirth of the King.
[05:19] Grey
To think that, after my countless victories,
[05:24] Grey
I would be reduced to a helpless infant.
[05:31] Alice
Come on now, burp for me sweetie.
[05:37] Alice
Very good!
[05:39] Grey
Alice and Reynolds take good care of me.
[05:43] Grey
They seem convinced that I'm their child.
[05:47] Grey
I suppose that makes sense...
[05:50] Grey
Yet,
[05:52] Grey
I am displeased. Or perhaps it's
a persistent sense of fear...
[05:55] Rey
Arthur?
[05:58] Rey
Look, Alice!
[06:00] Rey
Arthur really does love me!
[06:03] Grey
It's just a reflex action.
[06:12] Grey
My bodily functions are beyond my control.
[06:15] Alice
That was a big one, huh?
[06:17] Alice
Good boy!
[06:19] Grey
Nothing is turning out how I would choose.
[06:19] Alice
Now, let's get you cleaned up.
[06:22] Grey
This body is like a prison.
[06:25] Grey
I keep wanting to wake up,
yet this bizarre dream persists.
[06:31] Grey
And I would soon witness
something even stranger.
[06:52] Alice
Honestly... let me take a look at that.
[06:56] Grey
There are powers, in this world,
that I am unfamiliar with.
[07:01] Grey
Genuinely fascinating.
[07:23] Alice
Here comes Daddy.
[07:26] Grey
Since knowledge is a weapon,
[07:28] Grey
I continued to intently
examine my surroundings.
[07:31] Rey
I'm home, Arthur, Alice!
[07:37] Rey
Whoa, actually, I had better
hold off on the hug.
[07:41] Grey
This society is one where individuals
are allowed to own weapons.
[07:44] Grey
That indicates a level of danger
[07:47] Grey
which means I should obtain power
for myself, as quickly as I can.
[07:50] Alice
Are you okay? It's been a while, hasn't it?
[07:53] Rey
Nothing to worry about.
It was a pretty quick job.
[07:56] Alice
That's good.
[07:58] Alice
And now that you've said "Hi"
to Daddy, it's time for a nap.
[08:06] Grey
These days know no end of frustrations,
[08:09] Grey
but moments like this aren't so bad,
[08:20] Grey
because the freedom to sleep when I wanted...
[08:23] Grey
is something I wasn't accustomed to.
[08:39] Alice
Rey, make sure he doesn't bump his head!
[08:42] Rey
Of course.
[08:49] Rey
Look! Little Arthur's
looking at his reflection!
[08:53] Alice
That's adorable!
[08:56] Grey
Little "Arthur".
[08:58] Grey
All these months have passed, and
I still haven't grown used to that name.
[09:05] Grey
But it's of little concern.
[09:12] Alice
Sweet dreams, Arthur.
[09:28] Grey
I had finally gained control over my limbs.
[09:33] Grey
I'm nearly there.
[09:35] Grey
I need only move as swiftly as possible,
without drawing any attention.
[09:45] Grey
Success.
[09:48] Grey
Knowledge is a weapon,
[09:50] Grey
and I had finally obtained
what I was after.
[09:54] Grey
Which is to say, information on this world.
[09:59] Grey
This continent I had been born on,
Dicathen, contains three kingdoms.
[10:05] Grey
The Darv Kingdom:
[10:07] Grey
a subterranean nation of dwarves.
[10:11] Grey
Elenoir Kingdom:
[10:13] Grey
a nation of elves, deep within a forest.
[10:17] Grey
And the Sapin Kingdom, where I live:
[10:20] Grey
the most populous nation, full of humans.
[10:25] Grey
Like my own nation, it is a monarchy.
[10:29] Grey
The main difference is that the throne
here is inherited, and not seized.
[10:46] Grey
Compared to my previous life, this world
seems to still be in the process of developing.
[10:51] Grey
This book explains why their
technology is relatively primitive.
[10:56] Grey
Magic.
[10:59] Grey
A source of power called
mana exists in this world.
[11:04] Grey
The ability to control mana
is largely hereditary,
[11:08] Grey
and seems to occur in one
out of every 100 people.
[11:12] Grey
I'm itchy.
[11:15] Grey
There are, broadly speaking,
two applications of mana.
[11:19] Grey
Augmenting and Conjuring.
[11:22] Grey
Augmenters are able to use
mana to enhance their bodies,
[11:25] Grey
providing incredible strength,
defense, and agility.
[11:31] Grey
Conjurers are able to project mana,
and control it however they please.
[11:43] Grey
I suppose there are always exceptions.
[11:48] Grey
No matter.
[11:50] Grey
The key to controlling mana is the mana core.
[11:55] Grey
Most spellcasters tap into their powers from
the onset of puberty through their late teens.
[12:00] Grey
By channeling the disparate mana
throughout their body into single point,
[12:02] Grey
called a mana core, and mastering control
over it, one becomes a mage.
[12:10] Grey
I'm acquainted with a similar concept.
[12:14] Grey
Ki.
[12:15] Grey
Becoming aware of your internal power,
controlling it, and then unleashing it.
[12:21] Grey
The center of your ki is
crucial to doing all of that.
[12:28] Grey
Will this knowledge from my
past life serve as a weapon?
[12:42] Grey
This is...
[12:43] Alice
There you are!
[12:45] Alice
Arthur, you shouldn't worry
your mommy like that.
[12:50] Grey
I'm caught.
[12:52] Alice
Huh...
[12:54] Grey
Did she notice something?
[12:57] Alice
Did you poop?
[12:59] Grey
I guess not.
[13:01] Grey
Sorry to disappoint you, but
you'll find I haven't...
[13:07] Alice
I knew it!
[13:09] Grey
How mortifying.
[13:12] Grey
I must've been too focused to notice.
[13:14] Alice
Let's change your diaper now.
[13:17] Grey
This body really is a prison.
[13:21] Grey
I must obtain more power.
[13:29] Alice
It's been two years since Arthur was born.
[13:31] Alice
Time really flies.
[13:34] Alice
He's the cutest little boy in
the world, and so curious...
[13:38] Alice
Such a sweetheart.
[13:40] Alice
But we've never seen him smile before.
[13:46] Alice
Huh?
[13:50] Rey
You've got a real knack for that, Arthur!
[13:53] Rey
Alice, just look at Arthur!
[14:00] Alice
And what are you doing with
my cute little Arthur?
[14:03] Rey
I mean, I was just teaching him how a sword—
[14:05] Alice
He only just learned to walk!
What is wrong with you?!
[14:08] Rey
Sorry!
[14:10] Grey
Over these two years, I've come to
understand the power structure of this marriage.
[14:10] Alice
I cannot believe you!
What if he had been hurt?!
[14:14] Alice
Are you listening to me?!
[14:16] Grey
Or maybe this entire world is matriarchal?
[14:25] Alice
You always brighten up
when we come into town.
[14:28] Grey
Coming here has provided information
vital to understanding this world.
[14:35] Grey
The types and quality of weapons will let
me judge this nation's level of technology.
[14:42] Grey
These various substances that didn't
exist in the world of my past life.
[14:46] Grey
And,
[14:48] Grey
the opportunity to observe magic, in person,
[14:51] Grey
was very valuable indeed.
[14:57] Alice
Oh, I guess it's nap time.
[15:01] Grey
The two of them have seen to my every need.
[15:06] Grey
As stifling as this life
is, it is not unpleasant.
[15:10] Grey
Is this what families have always been like?
[15:25] Grey
I wouldn't know.
[15:27] Grey
But this warmth... is agreeable.
[15:32] Alice
Sleep well.
[15:35] Alice
Y'know, Arthur, I'm happy when
you slip out of bed to read,
[15:41] Alice
and the way your eyes light
up when we're at the market.
[15:47] Alice
You probably get it from Rey.
[15:51] Alice
One day, just like him, you'll
want to run off and see the world.
[15:57] Alice
I'd rather you live a more
peaceful life, though,
[16:01] Alice
my dear Arthur.
[16:10] Grey
I'm very fortunate.
[16:13] Grey
Because I've got a living example
to learn from, in close proximity.
[16:35] Rey
Is your dad awesome, or what?
[16:37] Grey
It'd be faster to just pick the rocks up.
[16:41] Alice
That wasn't his best shot.
[16:44] Alice
But now,
[16:45] Alice
you'll see how impressive Dad can be.
[17:02] Grey
My father is an augmenter.
[17:05] Alice
Pretty good, right?
[17:08] Grey
I can't just stand around like this.
[17:11] Alice
It's almost time for your nap.
[17:21] Alice
No books! It's time for sleep right now.
[17:30] Alice
I... I said, "no!" Nap time comes first.
[17:36] Alice
Even if you look at me like that...
[17:40] Alice
No means no!
[17:44] Alice
Just a little, okay?
[17:49] Grey
Victory is mine.
[17:53] Grey
I've gained a variety of
knowledge over these two years.
[17:57] Grey
The most valuable of which
[18:00] Grey
is the ability to produce a mana core.
[18:03] Grey
The countless fragments of
mana throughout the body,
[18:06] Grey
all focused into a single point.
[18:11] Grey
It was a task that took
considerable effort, but...
[18:15] Grey
It's finally paying off.
[18:19] Grey
I'm nearly there.
[18:22] Grey
Just a little bit more...
[18:44] Rey
Are you okay, Alice?!
[18:46] Alice
I am...
[18:47] Alice
Arthur? Arthur!
[18:50] Alice
He was inside!
[18:59] Rey
No way... this can't be...
[19:02] Rey
It doesn't make any sense!
[19:04] Rey
He's not even three yet!
[19:06] Alice
Rey! Where is he? Is Arthur okay?
[19:16] Rey
Alice...
[19:19] Rey
Our boy is already...
[19:22] Grey
My days of study have finally born fruit.
[19:26] Grey
This... is a great first step.
[19:38] Rey
Arthur!
[19:43] Grey
I was careless!
[19:44] Grey
I can't possibly die in a place like this!
[19:57] Alice
Arthur!
[20:02] Grey
That's right.
[20:04] Grey
These two will make sure I'm safe...
[20:07] Grey
That's the kind of duty a parent has.
[20:15] Rey
Alice, how's Arthur?
[20:17] Alice
He's okay! He's okay.
[20:22] Alice
Thank goodness... I'm so relieved!
[20:26] Grey
Why are they crying?
[20:34] Grey
They fulfilled their duty.
[20:37] Grey
They should be proud.
[20:43] Grey
I don't understand.
[20:46] Grey
I don't understand.
[20:48] Grey
This is... something I wasn't able to
learn from this world's literature.
[20:55] Grey
Something I never learned in my past life.
[20:59] Arthur
Mommy! Daddy!
[21:02] Grey
Someone tell me...
[21:03] Grey
[21:04] Grey
what exactly is this?

[00:01] Retailer
This man, in spite of being an emissary,
had plans on the life of our king.
[00:08] Retailer
A grave crime that, in accordance with law,
is to be punished with immediate execution.
[00:12] Retailer
Yet, the council has shown him mercy.
[00:16] Retailer
He and his family will be
escorted back to their country,
[00:19] Retailer
where they will await sentencing.
[00:21] Mother
Dear!
[00:22] Child
Papa.
[00:25] Father
Wait, please!
[00:26] Father
It's true that I attempted to harm the king!
[00:29] Father
But that was my crime alone!
[00:32] Father
I beg you, spare my wife and child!
[00:36] Father
Returning home would mean
suffering worse than death...
[00:41] Father
Which I accept as my punishment!
[00:42] Father
But my family, please...
[00:46] Father
Please, spare them, King Grey!
[00:50] Retainers
Know your place.
[00:52] Retainers
The king is the light which guides us.
[00:54] Retainers
This trifle is not worth his consideration.
[00:58] Retainers
Judgment has already been passed!
[01:01] Mother
No!
[01:02] Child
Mama!
[01:03] Father
Please, O King, spare them!
[01:16] Retainers
The king has carried out
judgment by his own hand...
[01:19] Retainers
But, behold! This is true mercy.
[01:23] Retainers
The two of them have now been
spared endless suffering!
[01:33] Father
You have my thanks... O King.
[01:51] Rey
Now you can be just like Daddy!
[01:59] Rey
Why not?!
[02:01] Grey
With this body, a weapon like that
[02:03] Grey
would get me killed before
I was within striking range.
[02:06] Rey
Okay, come right at me!
[02:16] Rey
Attaboy, Arthur.
[02:19] Grey
I see.
[02:33] Arthur
What do you think, Daddy?
[04:10] Rey
I think Arthur might need a proper teacher.
SIGN The King, Under Attack.
[04:14] Alice
No. Absolutely not.
[04:17] Alice
You said you'd train him yourself!
[04:21] Rey
And that was the plan.
[04:22] Rey
But he's just so talented.
[04:26] Rey
He'd have a lot to gain from a real mentor.
[04:29] Alice
I can teach him a bit of magic—
[04:32] Rey
Your magic is a special case.
[04:33] Alice
But...
[04:36] Rey
He was able to cut through this
when it was reinforced with mana.
[04:39] Rey
And he's only four!
[04:41] Alice
No way...
[04:43] Rey
It's what's best for him.
[04:49] Alice
I'm still against it!
[04:51] Alice
There's no way I can leave my sweet little
Arthur in some far off town! Never!
[04:57] Rey
But think about his future!
[05:00] Alice
I'm thinking about his present!
Don't you want him around?
[05:03] Rey
Of course I do! He's my sweet little guy!
[05:06] Alice
Then what's wrong with things as they are now?!
[05:08] Rey
Right... Wait, not right!
[05:11] Rey
Look, his future is on the line!
Don't you get that?
[05:12] Grey
There are times when emotions cause
someone's perspective to become narrow.
[05:13] Alice
No.
[05:14] Rey
You can't just say "no."
[05:15] Alice
Absolutely not.
[05:16] Rey
Of course I love him, but we're
talking about two separate things.
[05:17] Grey
That is why I proposed a third option.
[05:18] Alice
"No" means no!
[05:18] Rey
Why not?!
[05:19] Alice
Are you seriously considering sending
this little angel off on his own?!
[05:21] Arthur
Can't we all go?
[05:30] Rey
He's brilliant!
[05:32] Rey
Our Arthur really is a prodigy.
[05:35] Alice
We should start packing right away.
[05:37] Rey
People are going to be calling him a genius!
[05:38] Grey
They have so much energy.
[05:40] Alice
Really!
[05:41] Alice
Maybe even more than a genius!
[05:42] Rey
Yeah!
[05:52] Rey
Arthur, introduce yourself.
[05:55] Arthur
I'm Arthur Leywin. It's nice to meet you.
[06:02] Adam
We met before, but you were even smaller
back then, so you probably don't remember.
[06:08] Grey
No, I remember.
[06:15] Grey
These are the Twinhorns, the party that
Reynolds and Alice used to belong to.
[06:23] Grey
I believe his name was...
[06:25] Adam
I'm Adam Krensh.
[06:28] Angela
I'm Angela Rose! And look
how cute you've gotten!
[06:33] Angela
Little cutie!
[06:34] Grey
I can't breathe.
[06:40] Arthur
Th-Thank you.
[06:44] Durden
Durden Walker.
[06:55] Helen
She's Jasmine Flamesworth.
[06:58] Helen
And I'm Helen Shard.
[07:00] Helen
It's nice to have you along, Arthur.
[07:03] Arthur
Thank you, Helen.
[07:07] Rey
All right, let's get moving.
[07:22] Alice
Are you looking forward to
your first big trip, Arthur?
[07:27] Grey
Such a primitive method of transportation.
[07:31] Grey
Nothing like what I had in my past life.
[07:39] Grey
But not without its charms.
[07:49] Grey
We're apparently headed for a city called Xyrus.
[07:53] Grey
It should prove interesting,
[07:54] Grey
but there is one issue that
presents itself in the meantime.
[08:12] Grey
This world is dangerous.
[08:35] Grey
Adam, Helen, and Jasmine are Augmenters.
[08:49] Grey
Angela and Durden seem to be Conjurers.
[08:52] Grey
They move well. I need to
become like that soon.
[08:57] Rey
We're gonna be eating well tonight!
[09:07] Rey
No need to hold back, okay?
[09:09] Arthur
Okay!
[09:10] Grey
We're in the middle of a trip. No sense in
expecting much in the way of amenities.
[09:14] Grey
At least it's fresh.
[09:18] Arthur
What's wrong?
[09:20] Alice
I'm just full already.
[09:28] Alice
Honey, your arm...
[09:30] Rey
Oh, I didn't notice.
[09:32] Alice
One second.
[09:33] Helen
Alice.
[09:46] Helen
Go ahead.
[09:54] Grey
Alice is apparently a special type of mage,
called an Emitter, with healing powers.
[10:01] Grey
The rarity and value of her skill makes
healing people in the open inadvisable.
[10:06] Grey
She could become a target.
[10:08] Grey
Part of the reason she and Reynolds were living
in the country is the anonymity it offered.
[10:16] Alice
You should be healed now.
[10:18] Rey
Thanks, Alice.
[10:24] Adam
Reynolds, I was hoping to get a
little exercise in before bed.
[10:28] Adam
Mind if I borrow Arthur?
[10:37] Grey
I doubt this will be simple exercise.
[10:42] Grey
Which is worrying, but not
worth objecting about.
[10:46] Grey
Has he forgotten that I'm only four years old?
[10:51] Adam
You ready?
[10:53] Arthur
Y-Yeah.
[10:56] Grey
Now, how far can I take this?
[11:00] Adam
Okay, let's go.
[11:04] Grey
It doesn't look like he'll be holding back.
[11:20] Grey
Too slow!
[11:32] Alice
Arthur!
[11:33] Grey
As expected. This body is too light.
[11:40] Angela
You okay?
[11:46] Arthur
Thank you.
[11:48] Durden
You went overboard.
[11:49] Helen
Never heard of "restraint"?
[11:51] Adam
Back off! You guys weren't the
one fighting the little monster!
[11:55] Adam
What kind of hellish training
have you made him do?
[11:58] Rey
Nothing, I swear.
[12:05] Arthur
Wh-What?
[12:07] Jasmine
How did you do that?
[12:11] Jasmine
Tell me.
[12:13] Arthur
Uh...
[12:15] Grey
I know that look.
[12:18] Grey
Eyes like that are a sign that someone
won't relent until they get what they want.
[12:42] Grey
The journey's proceeding apace.
[13:19] Grey
I'm learning many new things,
[13:21] Grey
and sharing knowledge from my past life
also is also proving enlightening.
[13:56] Grey
But there's been one unexpected development.
[14:03] Jasmine
I heard it was your birthday, and I wanted
to thank you for what you taught me.
[14:08] Arthur
Th-Thank you, Jasmine.
[14:15] Grey
She seems to have taken a liking to me.
[14:18] Jasmine
There's a rope here.
[14:21] Arthur
Oh, neat.
[14:24] Helen
You never see Jasmine warm
up to someone like that.
[14:27] Angela
Tell me about it.
[14:29] Alice
My son is just that cute!
[14:31] Adam
Hey, we should get going!
[14:34] Helen/Angela
Okay.
[14:37] Alice
Come along, Arthur.
[14:39] Arthur
Okay.
[14:45] Arthur
What's wrong?
[14:52] Alice
Nothing. I'm fine.
[15:12] Alice
What is it?
[15:13] Helen
Bandits!
[15:27] Arthur
Not good.
[15:30] Grey
We're completely surrounded.
[15:33] Bandit Leader
Leave the women and kid alive.
[15:35] Bandit Leader
And don't hurt 'em. They'll be worth less.
[15:46] Grey
It seems every world is plagued
with this sort of thing.
[15:52] Bandit Leader
Go!
[15:58] Alice
It's okay. Mommy is with you.
[16:01] Arthur
Right, Mom.
[16:20] Grey
On an individual basis,
we've got the advantage. But...
[16:27] Angela
Thanks!
[16:39] Grey
There's strength in numbers.
[16:54] Alice
Honey!
[16:58] Rey
Don't!
[16:59] Alice
Don't move!
[17:01] Rey
I'm not hurt that badly,
[17:05] Rey
but we'll be in real trouble
if they learn about your power.
[17:10] Alice
Reynolds...
[17:12] Rey
Take your mom and get away from here.
[17:17] Arthur
What are you saying?! I can fight, too!
I'm already strong enough.
[17:23] Rey
Then use that strength to protect her.
[17:27] Rey
She's going to have another baby.
[17:40] Grey
That explains it.
[17:44] Rey
I'm counting on you, big brother.
[17:48] Arthur
Okay.
[17:52] Bandit Leader
Give it up.
[17:53] Rey
Go, Arthur!
[17:55] Alice
Rey!
[17:57] Bandit Leader
Don't let them escape!
[18:01] Bandit Leader
You're wasting your time.
[18:03] Rey
Sorry, but this time I'm serious!
[18:09] Bandit C
Don't let them escape!
[18:15] Adam
Hurry!
[18:16] Jasmine
We'll handle this.
[18:18] Helen
Go, Arthur!
[18:25] Grey
After taking so much, I'm on the run
in order to avoid losing something.
[18:35] Grey
Perhaps this is karma.
[18:40] Grey
But...
[18:43] Arthur
We should be okay now!
[18:52] Arthur
Look out!
[19:03] Grey
I won't go down without
taking you with me.
[19:11] Angela
Arthur!
[19:17] Alice
Arthur!
[19:20] Grey
It feels so strange. I've gained nothing,
[19:25] Grey
but my heart feels fulfilled.
[19:30] Grey
I think I finally understand...
[19:33] Grey
What that man was asking of me.
[19:42] Grey
And why the two of them cried.
[19:47] Grey
The lack of hesitation in sacrificing
oneself to save their family,
[19:52] Grey
contrasted with the tears one sheds at
the thought of never seeing them again.
[20:00] Grey
Joy and sorrow, together.
[20:04] Grey
And when it comes time to choose...
[20:08] Arthur
Oh, yeah. I was gonna be a big brother.
[20:13] Grey
That would've been nice.
[20:17] Arthur
It would've been nice...
to become an older brother.
[22:18] Arthur
Where am I?
[22:43] Sylvia
Good morning, Arthur.

I found something beautiful.
[00:04] Girl
I don't think I'll ever see
anything like it again.
[00:06] Woman
I see.
[00:07] Girl
It really was beautiful.
[00:10] Woman
Is something bad going to happen?
[00:13] Girl
If nothing changes, yes.
SIGN Meeting the King.
[01:57] Grey
What is that thing?
[02:00] Grey
What am I doing here?
[02:03] Grey
No, the most pressing issue right now is...
[02:10] Grey
It baited my response!
[02:21] Sylvia
You have a lot to learn still, little Arthur.
[02:24] Grey
What in the world?
[02:25] Sylvia
I'm on your side.
[02:28] Arthur
Wh-When you say that...
[02:36] Arthur
E-Excuse me?
[02:42] Sylvia
You must be hungry.
[02:45] Sylvia
But even if you're not,
you should eat something.
[02:49] Sylvia
If you want to be able to move
again sooner, rather than later.
[02:52] Arthur
Would you listen to—
[02:57] Sylvia
You shouldn't move for now. Consider
yourself lucky for having survived at all.
[03:05] Arthur
U-Um...
[03:07] Sylvia
You won't get any answers
until after you've started eating.
[03:17] Sylvia
Don't forget to chew.
[03:23] Sylvia
You've got quite the appetite.
[03:26] Arthur
My Dad and Mom... Do you know if they're okay?
[03:33] Sylvia
I cannot move from here.
[03:38] Sylvia
That said...
[03:40] Sylvia
I can see a bit further than most,
and have reach to match.
[03:48] Sylvia
Your family is alive.
They continued their journey days ago.
[03:55] Arthur
They're... alive?
[04:00] Arthur
Everyone's okay?
[04:09] Arthur
Thank goodness. That's such a relief!
[04:14] Grey
I truly am relieved.
[04:16] Arthur
U-Um, thank you... uh...
[04:21] Sylvia
My name is Sylvia, Arthur.
[04:24] Arthur
Th-Thank you, Sylvia.
[04:33] Girl
What do you think I should do?
[04:36] Woman
I think you know the answer already, don't you?
[04:40] Girl
I won't be able to keep any secrets, then.
[04:42] Woman
Well...
[04:47] Woman
...after all.
[04:51] Grey
Days passed.
[04:56] Grey
My wounds healed, and I wanted to return
home as soon as possible, but...
[05:01] Grey
But it seems that isn't
going to happen soon.
[05:05] Grey
According to Sylvia, we're on
the edge of the Forest of Elshire,
[05:11] Grey
a place filled with wild animals and outlaws.
[05:16] Grey
But she had a way to get around that.
[05:21] Sylvia
I know you want to return
home as soon as possible,
[05:23] Sylvia
but creating a breach in space requires
as much preparation as you might imagine.
[05:37] Sylvia
It's good to see you moving around.
[05:40] Sylvia
Children are meant to be lively, after all.
[05:43] Grey
Sylvia never spoke of herself.
[05:47] Grey
Her appearance, that of a strange monster,
[05:49] Grey
was enough to have little Arthur
yelping in fear more than once.
[05:53] Grey
Had she fought something? If she had,
she wasn't sharing any details.
[05:58] Grey
But, in direct contrast to her appearance,
she was very warm, and kind.
[06:27] Sylvia
You've got a mana core at your age?
[06:31] Sylvia
Then, can you do this?
[06:39] Sylvia
Do you know what I'm doing?
[06:42] Arthur
Yeah. You're using magic while
gathering mana at the same time...
[06:47] Grey
Like mid-air refueling, while flying a plane.
[06:51] Grey
I had no idea that was possible.
[06:54] Sylvia
Humans have many preconceptions about mana.
[06:58] Sylvia
That leads them to make a distinction
between gathering and using it.
[07:03] Sylvia
But apart from humans, this is very common.
[07:06] Sylvia
The creatures called
Mana Beasts, in particular,
[07:11] Sylvia
do this sort of thing as
easily as they breathe.
[07:13] Sylvia
Would you like to learn how?
[07:16] Arthur
I would!
[07:17] Sylvia
A question, then.
[07:19] Sylvia
What would you like to do with
the knowledge, after learning it?
[07:23] Sylvia
With this ability,
you will be even more powerful.
[07:28] Sylvia
What do you intend to do with that strength?
[07:33] Grey
Power greater than what I have now.
[07:37] Grey
Once I have it...
[07:45] Grey/Arthur
I would deliver death unto those who seek
to deprive me of that which I care about.
[07:54] Arthur
What the heck?!
[07:56] Sylvia
You failed.
[07:58] Sylvia
I'll not teach someone
with that look on their face.
[08:02] Arthur
Why not?! Isn't killing your
enemies what everyone does?!
[08:06] Grey
It is. And that is how I become
the most powerful king.
[08:11] Sylvia
And do you enjoy having a head full of
thoughts about killing your enemies?
[08:19] Sylvia
Maybe I hit you too hard.
Does it hurt, Arthur?
[08:25] Arthur
No, I'm okay.
[08:30] Sylvia
My hands could tear you to shreds with ease,
[08:35] Sylvia
but they can also touch you gently.
[08:42] Sylvia
Which do you prefer?
[08:44] Arthur
I prefer gentle.
[08:46] Sylvia
I agree.
[08:48] Sylvia
Rage and hatred burn so easily,
and express themselves as violence.
[08:55] Sylvia
And in the moment, that can feel good.
[08:58] Sylvia
But in the end, hate is all that remains.
[09:04] Sylvia
I would rather you not use the life
that I saved for something like that.
[09:09] Arthur
Sylvia...
[09:11] Grey
For a moment, it seemed as if this
person knew everything about me.
[09:17] Grey
But that shouldn't be possible.
[09:20] Sylvia
And now, back to the question.
[09:23] Sylvia
Arthur, when you have become stronger than you
are now, what will you do with that power?
[09:46] Arthur
I want to protect the people I care about.
[09:49] Sylvia
The perfect answer.
[10:00] Cadell
She's close.
[10:01] Cadell
And I'm afraid there is nowhere
you can hide from me, Sylvia.
[10:34] (Flashback) Maid
G-good morning, King Grey.
[10:43] (Flashback) Marlon
Goodness me! Thank you for coming, o great king.
[10:50] Grey
A king in name only.
[10:52] Grey
All political authority was in
the hands of the parliament.
[10:56] Grey
As the nation's resources run dry
and birth rates decline,
[11:01] Grey
the role of a king was to
act as an executor for war.
[11:06] Grey
Little more than a killing machine.
[11:09] (Flashback) Marlon
King Grey, you are great indeed.
[11:13] (Flashback) Marlon
Through your many victories, you have
brought our people wealth and glory.
[11:22] (Flashback) Marlon
But what brings you here, today?
[11:27] (Flashback) Grey
I am done, Marlon.
[11:40] Sylvia
Gathering it while using it.
[11:42] Sylvia
Once you're able to do that, Arthur, your
ability to perform magic will expand immensely.
[11:53] Grey
Don't rush it. Control the mana.
[12:00] Grey
There was so much I had not been blessed with.
[12:03] Grey
And what I desired the most,
in order to keep winning...
[12:17] Grey
...was control over ki.
[12:36] Grey
I've got it.
[12:37] Sylvia
Wonderful.
[12:42] Sylvia
Arthur...
[12:49] Arthur
What just happened?
[12:51] Sylvia
Don't make a sound.
[13:01] Grey
Who is that?
[13:04] Grey
There's a resemblance to Sylvia, but...
[13:07] Sylvia
I'm impressed that you found me.
[13:09] Cadell
The scent of blood led my way.
[13:13] Cadell
Now, please come along.
[13:16] Sylvia
I refuse.
[13:18] Cadell
I was hoping violence wouldn't be necessary...
[13:22] Cadell
But so be it!
[13:29] Sylvia
It's all right. Don't worry.
[13:32] Arthur
Sylvia...
[13:35] Cadell
If you push too hard, you'll shorten
the little time you have left alive.
[13:39] Sylvia
I could tell you the same thing!
[13:48] Arthur
Sylvia!
[14:03] Arthur
Sylvia?
[14:13] Cadell
This is absurd! Using this kind of
power... it's going to cost you!
[14:19] Sylvia
I don't mind. I've been happy enough.
[14:24] Sylvia
Although I do wish it could've lasted longer.
[14:50] Cadell
You should really pay attention!
[14:55] Sylvia
Not good.
[15:11] Sylvia
Come here, Arthur.
[15:20] Arthur
What happened?
[15:21] Sylvia
I used my power. Now, more importantly...
[15:25] Sylvia
What do you think? Do I look
more like a Sylvia, now?
[15:31] Arthur
You're a dragon, huh?
[15:33] Sylvia
That is what humans call us.
[15:35] Sylvia
Now, we need to hurry.
[15:44] Sylvia
I'm sorry. The exit isn't as close as I hoped.
[15:48] Sylvia
But it should be fine. I taught
you what you need to survive.
[15:56] Sylvia
Little Arthur, what will you use your power for?
[16:05] Arthur
I want to protect the people I care about.
[16:08] Sylvia
Then it's a promise.
[16:13] Arthur
But...
[16:14] Sylvia
Arthur. I have a few gifts for you.
[16:24] Sylvia
Wrap it in that feather,
and take good care of it.
[16:28] Sylvia
One other thing...
[16:40] Arthur
What is this?
[16:42] Sylvia
You'll know... in time.
[16:46] Sylvia
And that's it. Time to say goodbye.
[16:50] Arthur
Already?
[16:52] Sylvia
As much of a shame as it is, yes.
[16:55] Sylvia
I actually could've sent you home right away,
[16:58] Sylvia
but I didn't want to.
[17:02] Arthur
Why?
[17:03] Sylvia
I enjoyed living here with you, Arthur.
[17:09] Arthur
Sylvia!
[17:11] Arthur
I can't protect you with my power, can I?
[17:18] Arthur
After all you taught me...
[17:22] Arthur
And I made that promise.
[17:24] Sylvia
This was always going to happen.
[17:27] Sylvia
Our promise doesn't apply in this case.
[17:30] Grey
I was shocked at how naturally
my next words came forth.
[17:36] Grey
Was it my gratitude towards
her that made me feel this way?
[17:40] Grey
The time we had spent together,
did that change me?
[17:45] Grey
Or maybe...
[17:48] Arthur
I don't care if you're a dragon or a monster!
You're my family, Sylvia! I care about you!
[17:55] Sylvia
You already have a mother.
[17:58] Arthur
Then... you're my grandma.
[18:05] Arthur
Sylvia?
[18:06] Sylvia
It's nothing. But could you call me that again?
[18:13] Arthur
Grandma.
[18:18] Sylvia
Thank you, child.
[18:39] Arthur
I can't do this! Come with me, Sylvia!
[18:44] Arthur
Sylvia—
[19:07] Cadell
Finally decided to settle down, eh?
[19:12] Cadell
That couldn't have been lethal, could it?
Not someone like you, hit by something like that.
[19:19] Sylvia
Oh, you noticed?
[19:39] Woman
Was that enough?
[19:40] Girl
Plenty. Thank you.
[19:43] Woman
The rest is up to you.
[19:45] Girl
Right. I'll take it from here.
[19:52] Sylvia
Arthur, do you remember what I told you?
[19:56] Arthur
Yeah, I do.
[19:59] Sylvia
Then you'll be okay.
[20:01] Arthur
But I'm sad.
[20:04] Sylvia
True. The world is full of sorrow.
[20:09] Sylvia
Which is why we need to turn it into happiness.
[20:13] Arthur
I can't do that!
[20:15] Sylvia
It's fine if you can't, for now.
[20:18] Sylvia
But with one step at a time...
it's what I want for you.
[20:25] Sylvia
And I know you can do it.
You were the strongest king of all.
[20:31] Arthur
Sylvia?
[20:33] Sylvia
Don't let your heart fill with hatred and rage.
[20:38] Sylvia
Please, let your new life be one
filled with light, King Grey.
[20:46] Grey
Sylvia...
[20:49] Grey
Was it you who—
[21:03] Arthur
Okay, Sylvia.

No doubt about it. There are people nearby.

There they are.

Help! Anyone!

Shut her up.
[02:06] Pinky
Hey, boss.
[02:08] Pinky
Elf girls sell for a lot, don't they?
[02:11] Danton
Yeah, she'll earn us quite a bit.
[02:14] Danton
Let's get moving.
[02:15] Danton
Then we can finally say
goodbye to these eerie woods.
[02:20] Grey
They intend to sell her as a slave.
[02:27] (Flashback) Bandit Leader
Leave the women and kid alive.
[02:30] (Flashback) Bandit Leader
Don't hurt 'em. They'll be worth less.
[02:36] Deuce
Hey, quit squirming.
[02:43] Sylvia
You failed.
[02:46] Sylvia
I'll not teach someone
with that look on their face.
[02:51] Grey
I understand, Sylvia.
[02:55] Grey
I won't let my negative emotions rule me.
[03:20] Grey
Why don't you show me the way
to the nearest human settlement?
[03:26] Deuce
Seems like a waste to sell her off
without having some fun first.
[03:29] Grey
Then again, there's no guarantee she
goes that long without being hurt.
[03:38] Grey
For now, I'll prepare and
wait. It won't be long.
[03:53] Grey
I wonder why those forest hounds
are so obedient to the humans.
[04:01] Grey
Magic, eh?
[04:04] Grey
Sorry, but I can take advantage of that.
[04:12] Deuce
Hey!
[04:13] Deuce
Shut them up already. It's gonna attract
every beast in the woods.
[04:18] Pinky
Stupid mutts!
[04:19] Pinky
Damned nuisance. We'll be
selling you off, too, soon...
[04:27] Pinky
A kid?
[04:32] Grey
One down.
[04:34] Arthur
I'm going to take this.
[04:39] Deuce
He's taking too long to get back.
[04:41] Deuce
Hey, are you taking a piss out there? What's up?
[04:50] Grey
That's two. Combat in this body is exhausting.
[04:54] George
Hey, what are you doing?
[04:56] George
Where did you go? Get back here already.
[05:01] Grey
A third down.
[05:02] Danton
What happened?!
[05:03] George
B-Be careful! The brat's a mage!
[05:07] Danton
A kid mage?
[05:09] Danton
Well, ain't that rare?
[05:12] Danton
In that case, I had better make sure not to
kill the golden egg that just fell into my lap.
[05:19] Danton
Don't you think?
[05:25] Grey
What is he doing?
[05:27] Danton
You're coming with me. And you might
even fetch us more cash than the girl!
[05:32] Danton
So try not to die, kiddo!
[05:44] Danton
That wasn't bad at all.
[05:46] Grey
Maybe this...
[05:50] Grey
Damn it!
[05:52] Danton
You've got some slick tricks up your sleeve.
[05:55] Danton
Go on! It's your weapon, come and take it!
[06:02] Danton
Good reaction time, too.
[06:05] Danton
Let me see your face, golden ticket.
[06:08] Danton
Give up. You don't stand a chance.
[06:12] Grey
We'll see...
[06:16] Danton
That's hot!
[06:17] Grey
Good. I was able to condense fire.
[06:19] Danton
Damn it all. I'm done trying to
take you alive, you little shit.
[06:23] Danton
I'll just sell your carcass to
some of those demented collectors.
[06:27] Danton
Just you wait!
[06:37] George
N-Now hang on...
[06:40] George
Please, I'm begging you.
[06:44] Arthur
I'm pretty sure that girl
asked you the same thing.
[07:03] Grey
What was that, just now?
[07:06] Tess
What's wrong?
[07:08] Arthur
Come along now, it's safe.
[07:12] Arthur
You can go home.
[07:17] Tess
What is that? Are you hurt?
[07:19] Arthur
No, it's...
[07:21] Grey
I see. A normal child is surprised
by this sort of thing.
[07:25] Grey
Come to think of it, this is the first time
I've been around a child my own age.
[07:36] Arthur
Sorry, hang on a sec.
[07:42] Tess
Is that...
[07:43] Arthur
There are some things that kids shouldn't see.
[07:46] Tess
You're a kid, too.
[07:48] Arthur
That's true, I guess.
[07:51] Tess
Hey.
[07:52] Arthur
What?
[07:54] Tess
What happened to those bad
people who kidnapped me?
[07:58] Arthur
They, uh, had an unfortunate accident.
[08:03] Tess
An accident?
[08:04] Arthur
Don't worry. You're safe now.
[08:07] Tess
I see.
[08:11] Arthur
Is this yours?
[08:12] Tess
Yes, thank you.
[08:14] Arthur
Well, it was nice meeting you.
[08:23] Tess
I'm scared! Don't leave me behind!
[08:31] Arthur
I need to get back to my family,
[08:34] Arthur
and the scum— er, bad guys
won't be coming after you again.
[08:38] Tess
You would abandon a delicate little
girl in these woods, you brute?!
[08:43] Arthur
Shouldn't an elf be safe in the woods?
[08:48] Tess
My parents told me that the tree
golems will eat a child in no time.
[08:54] Arthur
Do you know which direction you came from?
[08:56] Tess
That way.
[08:57] Grey
The opposite direction...
[08:59] Arthur
Then, do you know how far they
brought you from when they caught you?
[09:02] Tess
No. I was chasing some bugs and then I got lost.
[09:07] Grey
This is unreasonable.
[09:09] Grey
But I suppose that's what
children are typically like.
[09:22] Grey
I guess I can't just leave her.
[09:28] Arthur
Okay, then.
[09:34] Grey
I don't know how to control them.
[09:37] Grey
Better to spare them a painful death.
[09:40] Tess
Hey, we should set them free, too.
[09:43] Arthur
Uh, but...
[09:45] Tess
If we just leave them, they'll die!
[09:48] Arthur
But they might attack us.
[09:51] Tess
It's okay. They were just being
used by those bad people.
[09:55] Tess
Besides, the people of the
forest cherish all life!
[10:15] Arthur
Okay, let's get you home next.
[10:35] Arthur
Oh, I never asked your name.
[10:38] Tess
Tessia. Tessia Eralith.
[10:41] Tess
What about you?
[10:43] Arthur
Arthur Leywin.
[10:48] Arthur
You're probably hungry. But even if you're not,
you should still eat something.
[10:53] Arthur
We might have a long walk ahead of us.
[11:02] Sylvia
You must be hungry.
[11:04] Sylvia
But even if you're not,
you should eat something.
[11:09] Sylvia
If you want to be able to move
again sooner, rather than later.
[11:13] Grey
I'm starting to sound like her.
[11:16] Tess
This smells funny.
[11:18] Arthur
It's just some jerky
boiled with some salt.
[11:21] Arthur
It'd probably taste better if I had some herbs.
[11:28] Grey
I've always considered food little more
than a means of getting nutrition.
[11:38] Tess
I want something sweet.
[11:41] Grey
In terms of childlike behavior, Tessia
should prove a good model to learn from.
[11:46] Tess
Hey, why are you in the
Forest of Elshire, Arthur?
[11:51] Arthur
I got separated from my family, I guess?
[11:54] Tess
Really?! You're lost, too, then.
[11:57] Arthur
What are things like in the land of the elves?
[12:01] Tess
In Elenoir? It's fun!
[12:04] Tess
My parents are really busy, so I spend a
lot of time with my grandpa and caretakers.
[12:18] Grey
The trip continued for
longer than I anticipated,
[12:20] Grey
with no sign of the location of Elenoir.
[12:25] Arthur
What are those bugs?
[12:27] Tess
Aren't they neat? We have
a lot of them in Elenoir.
[12:31] Tess
We use them to mark paths all the time.
[12:36] Tess
Do you want one?
[12:38] Arthur
Nope.
[12:41] Tess
It's like an earring!
[12:45] Grey
So this is how children play, huh?
[12:49] Tess
Once my mana awakens, I'm going
to train at my master's place.
[12:54] Tess
I'm really looking forward to it!
[12:57] Arthur
So you get assigned a master, huh?
There's no organized education?
[13:01] Tess
Organized education?
[13:04] Arthur
Nevermind. Just talking to myself.
[13:19] Grey
It's one of the forest hounds from before.
I should have killed it after all.
[13:24] Arthur
Go into the tent for a moment.
[13:27] Tess
But you're still...
[13:28] Arthur
I'm going to keep watch from out here.
[13:30] Tess
I see.
[13:34] Grey
A lot happened today.
[13:37] Grey
What was it that Sylvia wanted me to have?
[13:42] Tess
Are you sure you don't need to sleep?
[13:47] Arthur
You're still awake.
[13:49] Tess
Well, the truth is Grandpa said I'm
not supposed to sleep with any men,
[13:55] Tess
but I'll keep it a secret!
[13:57] Arthur
It's fine. I'm not tired at all.
[14:00] Tess
Okay...
[14:01] Arthur
Now, sleep well.
[14:05] Tess
H-Hey! I realized something!
[14:07] Arthur
Just go to bed already.
[14:09] Tess
If you're out here, won't beasts be more likely
to notice you and see that you're a kid?
[14:15] Arthur
You're scared of ghosts, aren't you?
[14:17] Tess
I'm just considering our safety!
[14:19] Tess
Which is why I think you should
keep watch from inside the tent!
[14:26] Arthur
Our safety, huh?
[14:28] Tess
I-It really isn't because I'm scared.
[14:31] Tess
But stay where you are.
Don't go outside without telling me.
[14:34] Tess
And if I need to go potty,
make sure to come with me.
[14:36] Arthur
Right, right. I get it.
[14:38] Arthur
Now go to sleep.
[14:40] Tess
Hey, you're from the human
kingdom, right Arthur?
[14:44] Tess
I heard that human men are all
perverts, and have many wives.
[14:50] Arthur
Who told you that?!
[14:52] Tess
My grandpa.
[14:53] Arthur
Well, I'm pretty sure there are elf perverts, too.
And do you even know what a pervert is?
[15:00] Tess
Not really.
[15:01] Arthur
The only people with multiple
wives are certain aristocrats.
[15:06] Tess
I see. Okay, then.
[15:08] Arthur
Really?
[15:14] Grey
She's asleep. Rather anticlimactic.
[15:18] Arthur
Is this what having a
little sister is like?
[15:47] Grey
Tessia has grown so
comfortable around me.
[15:50] Grey
It seems as if she has forgotten
all about the slavers.
[16:04] Grey
To be honest, I've been feeling annoyed,
since I'm worried about my family,
[16:07] Grey
and want to reunite with them soon.
[16:17] Grey
And there was something unexpected...
[16:21] Tess
Arthur?!
[16:23] Grey
An unbearable pain that I could
feel emanating from my mana core.
[16:28] Tess
Hey, are you okay?!
[16:30] Arthur
Yeah, it's... fine...
[16:33] Tess
I'm going to look for herbs that might help!
[16:38] Arthur
Wait... It's dangerous!
[16:42] Grey
The pain didn't get any better, and the
duration between attacks got shorter.
[16:47] Grey
Should I tell Tessia about it?
No, it'd just worry her.
[16:56] Grey
Of all the timing!
[17:03] Tess
Arthur! This is supposed to
help when your tummy hurts.
[17:07] Arthur
Tessia, get back!
[17:20] Arthur
What?
[17:22] Tess
I think he's repaying us!
[17:23] Arthur
For what?
[17:24] Tess
For being good!
[17:35] Tess
It's so tender!
[17:42] Grey
This is good.
[17:44] Grey
I suppose growing children really do need meat.
[17:48] Tess
Oh, there weren't any medicinal herbs,
but I found some mushrooms.
[17:52] Tess
They're very nutritious. The women
in Elenoir eat them all the time!
[18:03] Tess
Sorry. I guess they might be
too strong for men.
[18:09] Grey
I was careless.
[18:20] Grey
My eyelids feel heavy.
[18:22] Tess
And there was always a story
book to go with bedtime.
[18:26] Tess
They'd be stories of the human
kingdom and the dwarf nation.
[18:30] Tess
It made me want to visit some day,
but there are bad people in both, apparently.
[18:37] Tess
That's why the people in Elenoir
don't trust people from other countries.
[18:41] Tess
Humans in particular.
[18:44] Tess
Hey, are you listening, Arthur?
[18:51] Tess
Looks like I'm the more grown up one, after all.
[19:11] Tess
I'm sorry, Arthur.
[19:12] Arthur
It's okay. We're nearly there, right?
[19:15] Grey
Children are so weak.
[19:19] Tess
Hey, I've been wondering this whole time...
[19:23] Tess
We've gotten pretty close, right?
So is it okay if I call you "Art," like we're friends?
[19:30] Arthur
That's fine.
[19:32] Tess
That's all you have to say?
[19:34] Arthur
A low-born country bumpkin like myself
[19:36] Arthur
is unworthy of such a great honor,
Your Highness Tessia.
[19:41] Tess
What was that?! It's like the kind
of joke an old man would make.
[19:44] Arthur
That's rich coming from the crybaby who
won't go to the bathroom without me.
[19:49] Tess
Silence! Just when I was thinking
of treating you like a friend...
[19:54] Arthur
Sure sounds like she's feeling fine.
[19:57] Grey
A friend, eh?
[20:05] Tess
I think I saw something!
[20:07] Arthur
Yeah, I think I did, too.
[20:09] Arthur
Moss, leaves, and a whole
lot of trees, specifically.
[20:22] Arthur
Tessia, is this...
[20:24] Tess
It is! We're here!
[20:30] Arthur
What the—
[20:33] Tess
Come with me, Art!
[22:26] Chief Guard
The use of a teleportation
gate alerted me right away.
[22:35] Grey
Who is he talking to?
[22:40] Arthur
T-Tessia!

[00:04] Chief Guard
You filthy human!
Who said you could trespass here?
[00:07] Grey
This is bad. It's only natural that Tessia
would be returning to the elvish kingdom.
[00:12] Grey
I had lowered my guard because
of how innocent she is.
[00:15] Grey
What's she doing?
[00:18] Arthur
T-Tessia!
[00:24] Chief Guard
Kill him!
[00:25] Grey
I see now. I had forgotten.
[00:29] (Flashback) Tess
Hey, I've been wondering this whole time...
[00:33] (Flashback) Tess
We've gotten pretty close, right?
[00:36] (Flashback) Tess
So is it okay if I call you "Art," like we're friends?
[00:41] Grey
That was all it took for me to trust her.
I should've known better.
[00:52] Grey
I know full well how hollow
that kind of gesture can be.
[00:57] Chief Guard
Kill the human!
[01:00] Tess
Stop! Let Art go!
[01:03] Chief Guard
He's dangerous! This is one
of those violent humans!
[01:07] Tess
Art isn't dangerous! He saved me!
Now release him, at once!
[01:13] Chief Guard
You corrupt human wretch! You pretend to help her,
only to brainwash her?! You'll pay!
[01:20] Virion
That's enough.
[01:27] Virion
Release the human. At once.
[01:31] Chief Guard
Yes, sir!
[01:37] Tess
Art, are you okay?!
[01:39] Tess
You're all so awful! Art isn't a bad human!
[01:43] Virion
The missing princess reappeared with a
human savage in tow. Can you blame them?
[01:51] Tess
Grandpa...
[01:52] Arthur
Grandpa?
[01:54] Virion
I am the former ruler of the
Kingdom of Elenoir, Virion Eralith.
[01:59] Virion
You have my thanks for the aid that
you have provided my granddaughter,
[02:03] Virion
the Princess of Elenoir, Tessia.
[02:06] Grey
Princess?
[02:11] Arthur
Princess...
[02:14] Arthur
Princess?!
SIGN #5 The King's Test.
[03:54] Arthur
A princess?
[03:57] virion
Did you not tell him, Tessia?
[03:59] Tess
Huh... Didn't I?
[04:02] Arthur
What do you mean, "didn't I?"
[04:04] Grey
Nothing about her gave me even
the slightest impression that...
[04:08] Merial
Tessia!
[04:09] Alduin
Tessia!
[04:12] Tess
Father! Mother!
[04:15] Merial
Tessia!
[04:16] Alduin
I'm so glad you're all right.
[04:17] Tess
I missed you so much! Daddy! Mommy!
[04:22] Grey
That would make them the king and
queen of the Elenoir Kingdom, then.
[04:29] Alduin
Why is there a human in our midst?
[04:31] Alduin
And what are you guards doing?!
Arrest the human at once!
[04:36] Chief Guard
Sir...
[04:37] Virion
I stopped them.
[04:39] Virion
Savage or not, this boy saved
Tessia and brought her back to us.
[04:44] Virion
That hardly merits a summary execution.
[04:47] Tess
That's right! Art saved me!
Don't be mean to him!
[04:52] Alduin
But...
[04:54] Tess
I said "no", okay?! Art saved my life, so we
have to show him hospitality, at the castle!
[05:01] Alduin
A-A human... in our castle?!
[05:03] Tess
Come on, Art! I'll share all my
favorite treats with you! Okay?
[05:09] Arthur
Yeah, but...
[05:10] Tess
It's all right, isn't it, Daddy?
[05:12] Tess
Isn't it?!
[05:13] Alduin
I suppose it is.
[05:14] Tess
Yay!
[05:17] Virion
Boy.
[05:19] Virion
We'll talk later.
[05:24] Grey
What is this?
[05:26] Grey
This... unfathomable strength I sense?
[05:30] Tess
This way, Art!
[05:32] Arthur
Slow down!
[05:39] Tess
Hurry, hurry!
[05:40] Arthur
You don't have to drag me!
[05:47] Grey
So this is the Kingdom of Elenoir,
home to the elves.
[06:00] Arthur
Amazing...
[06:15] Grey
The books I read were accurate.
[06:17] Grey
It seems that the elves and humans are
in a state of touch-and-go hostility,
[06:21] Grey
thanks to past conflicts.
[06:23] Grey
It's hard to believe I'd get to see such a unique
civilization with my own eyes, considering.
[06:32] Grey
She's pretty unique, as well.
[06:35] Grey
I keep thinking about that
face Tessia made earlier...
[06:41] (Flashback) Arthur
T-Tessia!
[06:51] Grey
What did it mean?
[06:53] Grey
I don't know.
[06:55] Grey
Nor do I know the cause of this pain.
[06:58] Grey
In any case, I can't afford to let
my guard down like that again.
[07:13] Head Maid
It's a pleasure to have
you back, Princess Tessia.
[07:15] Tess
I'm back, everyone!
[07:17] Tess
Now that we're here, I'd like you to show
my savior here our best hospitality!
[07:23] Tess
It's okay! Art's not a bad human.
[07:26] Grey
I don't know how you expect
them to react to that explanation.
[07:29] Tess
Now, where to begin? Snacks?
A meal? Maybe a long bath?
[07:34] Tess
Or maybe we could play first?
[07:36] Arthur
Before all that,
[07:38] Arthur
is it all right if I explain what brought us here?
[07:47] Alduin
Let's hear it, then.
[07:56] Arthur
Is it... all right for the princess to be present?
[07:59] Tess
Sure it is!
[08:01] Grey
It is?
[08:03] Tess
Wait, why are you the only one
standing, Art? Have a seat!
[08:07] Arthur
Uh, I'm not sure I should...
[08:11] Grey
Okay, then.
[08:14] Tess
Oh, and if we're going to be talking, we should
have tea and snacks! What a great idea!
[08:21] Grey
And this is all fine?
[08:24] Grey
Truly?
[08:30] Alduin
To start once more, from the beginning...
[08:32] Alduin
I am Tessia's father, and the current
King of Elenoir, Alduin Eralith.
[08:39] Alduin
This is my wife, Tessia's mother,
Queen Merial Eralith.
[08:44] Alduin
And this is...
[08:45] Virion
The former king of Elenoir, Virion Eralith.
[08:50] Arthur
My name is Arthur Leywin.
[08:52] Arthur
I am from a humble town in the Sapin Kingdom.
[08:56] Arthur
My status would not usually
[08:58] Arthur
afford me an audience with a king,
much less the ruler of the elves,
[09:03] Arthur
and I am honored beyond
words at the opportunity.
[09:08] Alduin
For someone of low-born origins,
you've been educated well enough.
[09:13] Grey
The introduction is slightly excessive,
[09:15] Grey
but if they treat me like a child,
this discussion won't go anywhere.
[09:19] Grey
So, tell me what happened.
[09:20] Arthur
Yes, sir.
[09:22] Grey
I explained how I was separated from
my family by the bandit ambush,
[09:27] Grey
while leaving out certain details.
[09:29] Grey
I did not lie, but I also
didn't offer the entire truth.
[09:32] Grey
When I got to my encounter with Tessia,
the mood in the room changed drastically.
[09:39] Alduin
Slavers?!
[09:41] Alduin
Then human barbarians were
behind her disappearance!
[09:43] Arthur
Begging your pardon, Your Majesty,
[09:47] Arthur
but slave traffickers are individuals of
a shared profession, not a shared race.
[09:50] Alduin
What?
[09:52] Virion
So, you saw these slavers kidnap Tessia.
What did you do, as a child, to save her?
[09:59] Virion
Negotiate with them? Beg for her freedom?
[10:04] Arthur
Neither, Lord Virion.
[10:07] Arthur
While I am a child, I am also a sorcerer.
[10:10] Alduin
And you mean to say that a child's sorcery
was enough to overcome these slavers
[10:14] Alduin
and save Tessia?
[10:16] Arthur
Yes, sir.
[10:18] Tess
Then you really did beat them!
[10:21] Chief Guard
Of all the preposterous nonsense...
[10:23] Chief Guard
What could a child like you possibly do?
[10:26] Chief Guard
I'd wager you deceived
Princess Tessia while she was lost
[10:28] Chief Guard
in an effort to infiltrate our kingdom!
[10:31] Virion
Stop that.
[10:32] Chief Guard
But, sir...
[10:33] virion
I won't repeat myself again.
[10:35] virion
Lower your sword.
[10:39] Tess
Art's not lying! I was really
caught by some bad men!
[10:44] Tess
I heard them mention selling me off, too!
[10:47] (Flashback) Tess
Help! Anyone!
[10:48] (Flashback) Danton
Shut her up.
[10:54] (Flashback) Pinky
Hey, boss.
[10:55] (Flashback) Pinky
Elf girls sell for a lot, don't they?
[10:58] (Flashback) Danton
Yeah, she'll earn us quite a bit.
[11:01] (Flashback) Danton
Let's get moving.
[11:03] (Flashback) Danton
Then we can finally say
goodbye to these eerie woods.
[11:18] Alduin
I believe you.
[11:20] Arthur
Thank you, sir.
[11:22] Arthur
And, as such, there was also something
I'd like to ask you, Your Majesty.
[11:26] Alduin
What is it?
[11:27] Arthur
As I described, I was also attacked by bandits,
which was how I ended up in your lands.
[11:34] Arthur
My only wish is to return
to my family, in Sapin.
[11:38] Alduin
Are you suggestion that we help you return
to Sapin as a reward for saving Tessia?
[11:44] Arthur
With all due respect.
[11:47] Alduin
After experiencing firsthand
the enmity we have for humans,
[11:52] Alduin
you would demand that we show you,
one of those humans, gratitude?
[11:56] Tess
Daddy!
[11:57] Arthur
That's the very reason why, sir.
[11:59] Arthur
If elves would claim that
humans are lowly savages,
[12:03] Arthur
I have to believe they wouldn't conduct
themselves in a debased fashion.
[12:09] Virion
He has you there, Alduin.
[12:12] Alduin
Be that as it may, the hate between elves
and humans cannot be washed away so easily.
[12:20] Tess
Stare...
[12:24] Tess
Stare!
[12:30] Alduin
More pressingly, the teleportation gate to the
Sapin Kingdom is only accessible for the council
[12:34] Alduin
between all three races rulers,
held once every seven years.
[12:47] Alduin
It won't be open again for five years.
[12:51] Arthur
Five years...
[12:53] Grey
That's far too long.
[12:55] Alduin
However, we can't let a human dwell
among us for such a long time.
[13:01] Alduin
I will have some soldiers escort you home.
[13:05] Arthur
Thank you, sir.
[13:07] Grey
Finally. I can finally go home.
[13:12] Alduin
In the meantime, make yourself comfortable.
[13:14] Alduin
I'll have your escort prepared
by tomorrow morning.
[13:25] Grey
It keeps getting worse. What is happening to me?
[13:32] Grey
I... what should I do, Sylvia?
[13:37] Arthur
Help me...
[13:49] Grey
The evening breeze feels nice,
and lessens the pain.
[13:55] Grey
I can't let this continue. I need to
understand what's causing these pains.
[14:06] Arthur
Tessia?
[14:08] Grey
Are Reynolds and Alice all right?
[14:11] Grey
I doubt they would be done in easily.
I'm sure they've safely escaped.
[14:19] Arthur
I miss them.
[14:21] Grey
When we're reunited,
will they smile like that for me?
[14:26] Grey
So kindly...
[14:29] Grey
Is it even possible?
[14:31] Grey
The notion of someone smiling and
warmly greeting someone like me...
[14:40] Tess
Art?
[14:56] Tess
Arthur!
[15:01] Arthur
Tessia?
[15:02] Arthur
Did I interrupt your spoiled princess time?
[15:05] Tess
So mean! Stop making fun!
[15:09] Tess
I'm sorry, Art.
[15:11] Tess
My Daddy and the others...
were really rude to you.
[15:15] Arthur
It's fine. It just goes to show how
worried they were about you, right?
[15:21] Tess
True, but...
[15:22] Arthur
Which is why you should behave like the spoiled
princess you are, and let them spoil you.
[15:28] Tess
You keep making fun of me!
[15:30] Tess
Even though I bet you'll be the same
when you see your parents again!
[15:37] Tess
Art?
[15:38] Arthur
Will I, though?
[15:40] Arthur
Will Mom and Dad really
be happy to see me again?
[15:47] Arthur
They were attacked by bandits because of me.
They went through so much trouble...
[15:52] Arthur
Would they really miss me, after all of that?
[15:57] Grey
Someone like me, who was incapable
of protecting his family.
[16:03] Tess
Art...
[16:08] Arthur
What are you doing—
[16:10] Tess
Your parents are obviously sad
about not being able to see you!
[16:14] Tess
I'm already sad about you leaving,
and you're not even gone yet!
[16:42] Alice
Arthur.
[16:43] Rey
Arthur.
[16:47] Grey
What was I fighting against?
[16:51] Tess
These flowers are called firefly pots.
[16:54] (Flashback) Arthur
T-Tessia!
[17:00] (Flashback) Chief Guard
Kill him!
[17:04] Grey
What was it I saw in her expression?
[17:07] Tess
I really love them!
[17:16] Grey
I keep being overwhelmed by
the darkness inside me...
[17:18] Grey
waging war with my past life.
[17:21] Grey
How could I be so foolish?
[17:25] Arthur
I'm sorry, Tessia.
[17:28] Tess
About what?
[17:32] Arthur
I like them, too.
[17:45] Virion
Hello, there.
[17:47] Arthur
Lord Virion?
[17:49] Tess
Grandpa!
[17:50] Arthur
How could you do that?! Were you trying
to kill your own granddaughter?!
[17:54] Virion
You really think that could kill someone, eh?
[17:59] Grey
It was a trick.
[18:02] Virion
Your instant defense and response...
it seems you really did fight those slavers.
[18:10] Arthur
You did this just to test me?
[18:13] Tess
Stop picking on Art!
[18:15] Tess
He's not the kind of human you hate,
Grandpa! I know you understand that!
[18:21] Virion
Pick on him? Do you really think I'd come
all this way for that kind of nonsense?
[18:27] Arthur
Then why are you here?
[18:29] Virion
Because I haven't taken this kind of
interest in someone else in a long time.
[18:57] Virion
Not bad!
[18:59] Grey
He's strong.
[19:02] Grey
I use mana, and try to keep my
movements as direct as possible...
[19:06] Grey
but he's still faster than me!
[19:11] Grey
Here's a chance!
[19:14] Grey
I have to go faster.
[19:17] Grey
Faster still!
[19:28] Grey
This...
[19:31] Grey
reminds me of the look in the eyes
of the beasts I faced in the arena.
[19:36] Grey
Their claws and fangs,
bracing for a final attack,
[19:39] Grey
launched instinctively at
the climactic moment...
[19:46] Grey
when it's kill or be killed!
[19:53] Tess
Arthur!
[19:55] Virion
Well, I certainly wasn't expecting
you to get the better of me.
[19:59] Virion
Now, let's begin the second round.
[20:02] Tess
That is quite enough bullying from you, Grandpa!
[20:03] Virion
Ow! Ow! That really hurts, Tessia!
[20:07] Tess
You're supposed to hold back
during this kind of thing!
[20:09] Virion
If I had done that, he would've
ended up bullying me, my dear.
[20:13] Grey
What nonsense.
[20:16] Arthur
It's an honor to hear you
overestimate me, Lord Virion.
[20:20] Virion
An honor? If you really believe that,
boy, then you'll become my apprentice.
[20:27] Grey
His apprentice?
[20:28] Virion
Well? Do you accept?
[20:31] Arthur
Um... Are you being serious, sir?
[20:34] Virion
I wouldn't make this kind of offer in jest.
[20:37] Arthur
I understand that, but... my parents still
don't know that I'm alive. This is too much.
[20:44] Virion
Suppose there was a way to let your
parents know that you were fine, then.
[20:53] Arthur
Is that really—
[20:59] Virion
I thought as much.
You've inherited a Beast Will.
[21:06] Virion
You'll become my apprentice, boy.
[21:10] Virion
Because if you don't...
[21:17] Virion
You will die.

[00:10] Grey
What... is... this?
[00:33] Grey
Does this monster represent my anxiety?
[00:37] Grey
Or... the weight of my responsibility?
[00:46] Tess
Art? Art!
[00:56] Arthur
What is it?
[00:58] Tess
Good morning, Art! Time to get up!
[01:01] Arthur
Please, nightmare monster,
just another five minutes.
[01:06] Tess
Hey! Who are you calling a monster?!
[01:09] Tess
Now hurry up and get ready! Grandpa is waiting!
[01:13] Tess
Your hair's a mess!
[01:15] Arthur
You looked like Medusa a second ago, yourself.
[01:22] Tess
Hey, is it true that you're staying?
[01:25] Arthur
I'm not sure yet.
[01:28] Arthur
But I think I'll know once we get
back from the trip, Princess.
[01:32] Arthur
Ow!
[01:33] Tess
Do not call me "princess"!
It's Tess! Tess, understand?!
[01:37] Tess
Call me "princess" again and I'll be really angry!
[01:39] Arthur
You already are...
[01:41] Tess
Just get changed already!
[01:44] Arthur
Then could you leave the room?
SIGN #6 The King's Training.
[03:19] Alduin
Father, I'm begging you. You know
that human doesn't belong in Elenoir!
[03:25] Merial
Lord Virion, Alduin is correct.
[03:29] Alduin
Allowing him to stay here goes
against our traditions!
[03:33] Alduin
Why do you insist?
[03:35] Virion
I've taken a liking to the boy.
It's that simple.
[03:38] Tess
Father! Arthur saved my life!
[03:42] Alduin
I'm grateful for that.
[03:44] Tess
Then—
[03:44] Alduin
This doesn't concern you!
[03:46] Virion
That's enough.
[03:49] Virion
Now, come along.
[03:51] Tess/Arthur
Right.
[03:52] Alduin
Father!
[04:05] Arthur
How long until we reach your
mysterious friend, Grandpa?
[04:11] Virion
"Grandpa"? Feeling a little too relaxed, are we?
[04:16] Arthur
Well, depending on how this goes,
I may have to adjust my attitude again.
[04:21] Virion
I'll grant your wish.
[04:27] Virion
She woke up early this morning.
[04:29] Virion
She was rather persistent in trying to
learn about what would happen to you.
[04:37] Virion
Thanks to her position as the sole heir to
the throne, she's led a rather isolated life.
[04:47] Virion
She's had her heart broken by superficial
friends, both adults and children.
[04:54] Virion
And as a result, she doesn't get close to anyone.
She leaves her emotional walls up.
[05:00] (Flashback) Tess
Do not call me "princess"!
[05:06] Virion
But when she's with you,
she smiles so naturally.
[05:11] Virion
A smile I haven't seen from her in a long time.
[05:18] Virion
I'd like to thank you for that.
[05:23] Grey
He's willing to thank a child
like me, if he feels justified.
[05:30] Grey
I can trust this man.
[05:43] Tess
Are we there yet?
[05:53] Grey
Just who is this mysterious friend
[05:55] Grey
that a former king like Virion is
willing to travel this far to see?
[06:04] Virion
We're here, you old hag! Open up!
[06:17] Rinia
You don't need to shout. I can
hear just fine, you old bastard!
[06:21] Virion
This is my old friend, Rinia Darcassan.
She's a sorcerer with unique skills.
[06:27] Grey
Unique skills? Then her spells don't
fall into the normal four elements.
[06:33] Grey
Just like Alice.
[06:35] Virion
She's willing to help with your wish.
[06:38] Arthur
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Rinia.
[06:41] Rinia
Well don't just stand there, come on in!
We'd better get started right away.
[07:01] Grey
How is she going to help me, exactly?
[07:08] Arthur
Not to be rude, but I was told by Grandpa
[07:12] Arthur
that you have a spell that will
help me to contact my parents.
[07:18] Rinia
Grandpa, he says.
You're soft on this boy, Virion.
[07:24] Rinia
Well, sonny, I'm what's called a Diviner.
[07:32] Rinia
You're a special child, aren't you?
There's something about you even I can't see.
[07:39] Rinia
I can see pieces of your past and future, but...
[07:43] Rinia
You didn't come here for a prophecy, did you?
[07:48] Arthur
R-Right.
[07:50] Rinia
To see your parents, and let
them know you're all right...
[07:53] Rinia
That's what you want?
[07:56] Arthur
Right.
[07:59] Rinia
Look closely in here.
[08:06] Rinia
Focus your mind and picture your parents.
[08:09] Rinia
As clearly, and with as much detail as you can.
[08:16] Rinia
Talk to them once you can see them.
[08:22] Arthur
Mom...
[08:27] Arthur
Shiny, chestnut-colored hair. A slight tan.
[08:31] Arthur
She's gentle, and warm...
[08:34] Arthur
And her thin eyebrows are always pressed
together when she worries about me.
[08:38] Arthur
Dad... he has piercing blue eyes.
[08:42] Arthur
He's laid back at home, but outside,
he has charisma as both a warrior and a leader.
[08:50] Alice
Here's dinner.
[08:53] Alice
Let's eat.
[08:55] Rey
Stew, huh? Looks good.
[08:57] Alice
Yes. It's your... and Arthur's favorite.
[09:04] Rey
Right.
[09:06] Alice
It's his birthday today.
[09:13] (Flashback) Alice
Arthur! Arthur!
[09:16] (Flashback) Alice
Let me go! I have to go after him!
[09:20] (Flashback) Adam
It's Arthur!
[09:26] (Flashback) Durden
I know how you feel, but is
this how you wanna react?!
[09:29] (Flashback) Rey
It was my fault! Because of me...
And now Arthur's...
[10:07] Rey
If I hadn't told him to
protect you and the baby...
[10:12] Alice
No. I shouldn't have...
[10:23] Arthur
Dad. Mom. It's me.
[10:27] Alice
Arthur?
[10:28] Rey
Is it really you?
[10:31] Arthur
It's all right. I'm alive.
[10:34] Arthur
I'm with the elves in the Kingdom of Elenoir.
[10:37] Arthur
I'm using special magic to contact you.
[10:43] Arthur
I'm sorry. I want to get back
as soon as I can, but I can't.
[10:48] Arthur
There's something wrong with
my body. I need treatment.
[10:53] Arthur
It's nothing serious, so don't worry.
And once it's better, I'll come back to you.
[11:01] Arthur
Please, don't blame yourselves for what happened.
I would've done what I did, anyway...
[11:07] Arthur
even if it had killed me.
[11:11] Alice
Arthur!
[11:12] Arthur
I don't know when I'll be
able to contact you next.
[11:15] Arthur
But don't worry. And look after yourselves.
[11:19] Alice
Rey... that was Art!
[11:22] Rey
It was... It was!
[11:24] Arthur
Dad, Mom, I love you both!
[11:33] Grey
Alice. Reynolds. I'm glad you're all right.
[11:39] Grey
And whatever happens, I've made up my mind.
I won't let them worry like that ever again.
[11:52] Arthur
Please, take me as your apprentice.
[12:00] Tess
How many times do I need to say it?
Arthur saved my life! Twice!
[12:06] Tess
If we chase him off, people will
think that elves are ungrateful!
[12:11] Tess
Is that what you want?
[12:16] Merial
Your Majesty...
[12:18] Alduin
Fine. But if there is any kind of trouble...
[12:27] Virion
Your daughter's right. Arthur will be under
my direct tutelage. Let the people know.
[12:35] Alduin
But...
[12:37] Virion
If anything happens,
it will be my responsibility.
[12:44] Alduin
I want to apologize, Arthur.
[12:48] Alduin
I think sitting on the throne for as long as I have
has made me stubborn and set in my ways.
[12:53] Arthur
No, sir...
[12:55] Alduin
You are my daughter's friend and
my father's first human apprentice.
[12:59] Alduin
Please, let me welcome you officially.
[13:01] Merial
Please, accept our apology,
and think of this place as your own home.
[13:08] Grey
This is a pretty abrupt change in attitude.
[13:14] Grey
I see. That explains it.
[13:17] Grey
The king of Elenoir is soft on his daughter,
and can't stand up to his father.
[13:24] Arthur
It's a real honor, sir.
[13:25] Tess
Wait a second!
[13:27] Tess
If you really feel bad...
[13:30] Tess
Th-Then let us play outside!
I want to show him around!
[13:51] Grey
It was my first time visiting an elvish town.
[13:54] Grey
There was a lot that I found fascinating.
[13:58] Tess
There's a bazaar that sells a
lot of tasty fruit and sweets!
[14:05] Tess
It's such a popular bazaar,
they might sell out if we don't hurry!
[14:08] Arthur
I don't think we need to run!
[14:14] Tess
Look, there it is! Right there!
[14:19] Arthur
Oh, excuse me.
[14:21] Feyrith
Disgusting.
[14:23] Feyrith
You got your human germs on me!
[14:27] Grey
Who is this supposed to be?
[14:31] Feyrith
Lord Virion might've taken a liking to you,
but this is no place for humans!
[14:36] Underlings
Yeah, that's right!
[14:37] Underlings
Go back to your own house!
[14:39] Underlings
Monkey!
[14:40] Grey
Not sure I've ever seen a more
predictable little pest.
[14:43] Tess
Don't listen to them. Let's just keep going.
[14:48] Grey
I think I might be developing
a taste for mischief.
[14:52] Grey
Tessia's influence, most likely.
[14:55] Feyrith
While I am impressed with
your magnanimity, Princess,
[14:58] Feyrith
if you fraternize with a human,
it will hurt your reputation.
[15:04] Feyrith
Please allow myself,
Feyrith Ivsaar II, to escort you instead!
[15:08] Tess
That's quite all right.
[15:11] Arthur
Wait, Feyrith?! The Feyright Ivysour?!
[15:16] Feyrith
I see my reputation precedes me...
Wait, what did you just call me?!
[15:21] Feyrith
The name is Ivsaar, you ignorant peon!
[15:25] Arthur
I really am ignorant.
[15:28] Arthur
I had no idea I was in the presence of a genius!
[15:33] Arthur
Please allow me the honor of
showing you the proper respect,
[15:35] Arthur
which I will make sure to do from now on!
[15:38] Arthur
If you'll please excuse us, then.
[15:43] Feyrith
Hold it!
[15:44] Feyrith
Do you think I don't understand what sarcasm is?
[15:48] Grey
Then he's not that stupid, after all?
[15:50] Feyrith
On the pride of the Ivsaar name,
I challenge you to a duel!
[15:56] Grey
I stand corrected.
[15:58] Tess
What do you think you're doing, challenging
Lord Virion's apprentice to a duel?
[16:02] Tess
You might be nobility, but you need to
think about what that means, Feyrith!
[16:06] Feyrith
Begging you pardon, princess, but I was
taught by my father to brook no insult.
[16:12] Feyrith
Human! Do you accept the duel?
[16:15] Feyrith
Or are you going to turn tail
and run like the monkey you are?
[16:18] Feyrith
Know that your decision will reflect
your teacher's honor, as well!
[16:25] Grey
A duel? Is that not a more
serious matter in this country?
[16:36] Feyrith
If you're not saying anything,
I take that to mean you accept.
[16:39] Feyrith
Princess Tessia, if you'd officiate.
[16:42] Tess
Are you sure?
[16:43] Arthur
Yeah.
[16:57] Tess
Let the duel...
[17:04] Tess
Begin!
[17:05] Reyrith
Say your prayers, Arthur the human!
[17:16] Grey
Did I hit him too hard?
[17:19] Underlings
Feyrith!
[17:22] Arthur
Huh? All done?
[17:25] Tess
I knew this would happen.
And I tried to warn him.
[17:30] Tess
Let's run!
[17:36] Grey
I found myself more and more
charmed with this little princess.
[18:05] Tess
Your training starts tomorrow, huh?
[18:07] Arthur
Yeah.
[18:08] Tess
Are you looking forward to it?
[18:10] Arthur
Yeah, I guess so.
[18:14] Tess
Is something wrong?
[18:16] Arthur
No, it's fine.
[18:20] (Flashback) Virion
I'll be blunt. My instruction
is not for the faint of heart.
[18:23] (Flashback) Arthur
Yes, sir.
[18:25] (Flashback) Virion
Beast tamer training has been compared
to being dipped into boiling pitch.
[18:35] (Flashback) Virion
You've chosen to remain in this foreign land,
without the support of your family.
[18:42] (Flashback) Virion
Even your daily life will require diligence.
[18:46] (Flashback) Virion
But should you endure it all,
you will have much to gain.
[18:51] (Flashback) Virion
So, I ask you one last time: are you prepared?
[18:56] (Flashback) Arthur
Yes, sir!
[18:58] (Flashback) Virion
I wouldn't worry about the pain in
your mana core for the time being.
[19:06] Arthur
I'm really looking forward to it!
[19:09] Arthur
I've been through a lot to get to this point.
[19:12] Arthur
Training with my family,
and a bunch of fights...
[19:17] Arthur
And all of it was exciting,
[19:20] Arthur
because I'm choosing my own future.
[19:28] Tess
You're right! I'm gonna work hard, too!
[19:31] Arthur
Work hard on what, Tess?
[19:33] Tess
Everything! I'm going to be working hard
to do just as much as you do, Arthur!
[19:40] Tess
I'm hungry. Let's have something to eat.
[19:42] Arthur
You just ate!
[19:44] Tess
It's fine! Come on, let's go!
[19:55] Virion
Let's begin, then.
[19:57] Arthur
Yes, sir.
[19:59] Grey
In this new world, time really does seem to fly.
[20:05] Grey
I've grown and gotten stronger,
but the path has had it's share of trials.
[20:12] Grey
And it seems that things will only
grow more difficult the further I go.
[20:18] Grey
But for now, I'll focus on
the door in front of me.
[20:25] Arthur
Because I understand, for some reason...
[20:28] Arthur
That the future is going to be exciting.
SIGN Three years later
[22:10] Tess
Arthur.
[22:13] Tess
Arthur?
[22:15] Tess
Come on, how much longer?
[22:23] Tess
If you don't get a move on...
[22:28] Arthur
Fine! I get it! You win!
[22:35] Arthur
You actually used mana!
[22:39] Arthur
Can't you be a little more gentle, Tess?!
[22:43] Tess
I tried to be, at first. But you didn't wake up.

[00:04] Arthur
Hey, where are they going?
[00:06] Tess
Some sort of meeting.
[00:08] Grey
One that requires the King
and Queen's attendance, eh?
[00:13] Tess
Here. Make sure to eat it all.
[00:16] Tess
Considering how beautiful the girl who
made it is, you had better be grateful.
[00:24] Arthur
Beautiful, huh?
[00:36] Virion
You're both moving too slow.
[00:37] Arthur
Good morning, sir!
[00:38] Tess
I got up early to make that!
[00:42] Virion
Looks like you don't need any more warming up.
[00:44] Virion
Let's begin, then!
[00:49] Arthur
I do always appreciate it,
beautiful Princess Tessia!
[00:52] Tess
Oh, I'm going to clobber you!
[00:58] Virion
They're ready for the next phase.
SIGN #7 The King Says Goodbye.
[02:34] Virion
We'll begin with a review of sorcery.
[02:37] Virion
Once you've stabilized your mana,
the foundation of all this,
[02:40] Virion
you'll be able to master one of the four
elements: fire, water, wind, and earth.
[02:46] Virion
Your elemental inclination
tends to depends on your race.
[02:52] Virion
We elves specialize in wind,
as well as water and earth.
[02:59] Virion
Dwarves, in comparison,
are strong with earth and fire,
[03:03] Virion
while humans have shown a
capacity for all four elements.
[03:08] Arthur
All of them?
[03:10] Virion
That said, due to their
individual compatibility,
[03:13] Virion
most people are only capable of using one.
[03:15] Virion
On rare occasions, some are capable of using
multiple elements, but they're the exception.
[03:22] Grey
Compatibility, eh?
[03:23] Tess
Question!
[03:26] Tess
Why hasn't Art been using sorcery while
doing physical training, like me?
[03:31] Virion
Because of a weakness.
[03:35] Virion
There is a beast will slumbering
inside your mana core.
[03:38] Virion
A powerful one, no less.
[03:43] Virion
That beast's will is upsetting the
balance between your body and mana core.
[03:47] Virion
That is the reason for your pain.
[03:50] Grey
A beast will.
[03:53] Grey
If I had to guess...
[03:56] Virion
Which is why the first step was to have
your mana assimilate with your body.
[04:02] Arthur
What's that look for?
[04:04] Tess
I mean, you act like it hurts
so much when I hit you.
[04:07] Tess
You gonna be okay?
[04:09] Arthur
Anyone would feel pain if they
were hit by you that hard, Tess!
[04:15] Grey
It's said that if an elf awakens their mana by
the age of 10, they're considered gifted.
[04:21] Grey
Hers came to her at nine.
[04:25] Grey
Ever since, as she's been learning how to fight,
she's also been my sparring partner.
[04:33] Virion
Boy.
[04:35] Virion
You still have strength to spare?
[04:39] Virion
Then we're going to awaken
the beast will inside of you.
[04:44] Virion
If this works, you won't need to
worry about that pain anymore.
[04:48] Virion
You'll be a real beast tamer.
[04:51] Arthur
Yes, sir!
[04:58] Virion
I'm going to ignite your mana core.
[05:01] Tess
Is that safe?
[05:03] Virion
Oh, definitely. He may feel a degree
of heat, but it won't be much.
[05:08] Arthur
I'm ready when you are, sir.
[05:10] Virion
Let's begin.
[05:32] Grey
What is this?
[05:37] Tess
Art!
[05:39] Virion
What was that?!
[06:09] Arthur
Grandpa?
[06:11] Virion
How are you feeling?
[06:13] Arthur
Okay, I think.
[06:17] Virion
Do you have any idea where
your beast will came from?
[06:23] Virion
How about it?
[06:26] Arthur
She...
[06:30] Arthur
She was a dragon.
[06:31] Virion
A dragon?!
[06:34] Virion
It's hard to believe...
but I suppose that fits what I saw.
[06:41] Virion
Do not tell anyone about this. The will of
a dragon is bound to draw unwanted conflict.
[06:48] Arthur
Okay.
[06:50] Arthur
I appreciate you worrying about me, Grandpa.
[06:54] Virion
Putting that aside...
[06:56] Virion
Your departure is set for four months from now.
[07:00] Arthur
Wait, really?! I thought I had two years left!
[07:03] Virion
The three kingdoms are holding
[07:05] Virion
a cultural exchange where young people
from all three kingdoms are meant to interact.
[07:08] Virion
For it's duration, the entrance
to Xyrus City will be open.
[07:15] Grey
Then that's why they left.
[07:18] Virion
What's the matter? You're finally
going to see your family again.
[07:24] Arthur
You're right.
[07:26] Arthur
But...
[07:29] Virion
Rest for now.
[07:32] Virion
The training is going to get even
harder starting tomorrow.
[07:36] Arthur
What about Tess?
[07:38] Virion
She already knows.
[07:51] Arthur
Only four more months...
[07:54] Arthur
Feels kind of short, and yet...
[08:04] Arthur
The stone I got from Sylvia?
[08:12] Arthur
Then it really was an egg!
[08:46] Arthur
You're a dragon... right?
[08:53] Arthur
So cute!
[09:02] Arthur
Ow!
[09:12] Arthur
Who said that?
[09:16] Arthur
Wait, was it you?!
[09:26] Arthur
You can talk to me, inside my head?
[09:30] Arthur
Could you at least call me "Papa" instead?
[09:35] Arthur
There you go! And I'm going to name
you after your mother: Sylvie.
[09:43] Arthur
I guess you like it!
[09:46] Grey
This marking seems to be more
significant than I thought.
[09:51] Arthur
I never imagined I'd become
a father at age 8.
[09:58] Arthur
My parents are going to be shocked.
[10:14] Tess
Arthur?<br>[10:22] Arthur
Whoa! What?!
[10:24] Tess
She's adorable!
[10:30] Arthur
Goodnight.
[10:36] Tess
Sylvie! Come on over here! Don't be scared!
[10:43] Arthur
Maybe if you didn't stare
at her like a predator.
[10:48] Tess
Grandpa, look!
[10:50] Tess
Art's got a new pet.
[10:54] Virion
Is that what I think it is?!
[10:57] Arthur
I think it's a dragon.
[10:59] Virion
You're killing me! This kind
of shock is bad for my heart!
[11:06] Tess
Please, just let me pet you!
[11:10] Virion
It must've hatched when you
fully assimilated the beast will.
[11:15] Arthur
When it comes to Sylvie...
[11:17] virion
It's fine, no one would believe
you've got a dragon, anyway.
[11:21] virion
You can just tell them she's a rare mana beast.
[11:26] virion
More importantly...
[11:27] virion
Let's begin today's training.
[11:31] virion
Now that you're a beast tamer,
[11:33] virion
you'll need to exercise your beast core
and mana core simultaneously.
[11:40] virion
The most effective way
to do that is in combat!
[12:02] virion
Now, let's begin, boy!
[12:08] Grey
I never underestimated him,
but this is more than I imagined!
[12:18] Grey
Where is he?
[12:24] Arthur
I surrender.
[12:28] Arthur
I think I'm going to get
traumatized by that look.
[12:30] Virion
You're not the first to say so.
[12:35] Arthur
The way you moved was impressive enough,
but I couldn't sense where you were at all.
[12:39] Virion
Shadow Panther grants an
instinctive control over wind,
[12:42] Virion
and also neutralizes sound,
which is a more advanced sorcery.
[12:46] Arthur
Advanced sorcery...
[12:49] Virion
It's not without it's weaknesses, though.
[12:52] Virion
It's quite exhausting, for one thing.
[12:56] Virion
Now, then, that's enough poking fun.
[13:00] Virion
Time to begin your actual practice.
[13:08] Grey
Days have passed, and in that time,
I've started to master the beast will.
[13:16] Grey
Perhaps that's the reason
that the pain I once felt
[13:19] Grey
so intensely in my chest is completely gone.
[13:23] Grey
My body has also grown strong enough
[13:26] Grey
to withstand training that
had seemed unbearable before.
[13:30] Grey
And...
[13:32] Grey
When I had time to spare,
I spent it like a normal child.
[13:42] Grey
Can you please cheer up?
[13:48] Grey
Oh, excuse me.
[13:50] Feyrith
Well, well! If it isn't Arthur the human boy!
[13:58] Arthur
Who were you again?
[14:01] Feyrith
I'm the aristocrat who was
defeated by your unsporting play
[14:03] Feyrith
after you ignored the
proper procedure for a duel!
[14:06] Feyrith
I'll remind you right now, then!
Let's duel, Arthur!
[14:14] Friend 1
He lost again.
[14:15] Friend 2
He certainly did.
[14:19] Tess
This is Feyrith, by the way.
[14:27] Arthur
It's great to see you again, Feyrith.
[14:35] Feyrith
Very well.
[14:38] Friend 1
You wanted to make friends all along, huh?
[14:43] Friend 1
You can call him Fey Fey
Everyone else does.
[14:48] Feyrith
Did you have to share that?!
[14:50] Friend 1
It's fine.
[14:53] Arthur
Are you going to attend the exchange for
young people from the three kingdoms, too?
[14:58] Feyrith
But of course! I was chosen as
a goodwill ambassador, in fact.
[15:02] Friend 2
If you're high enough in status,
it's mandatory to attend.
[15:07] Arthur
Are you going, too, Tess?
[15:09] Tess
I...
[15:10] Friend 1
Would the princess have to go?
[15:14] Feyrith
We wouldn't want our delicate
princess getting lost again.
[15:18] Tess
Delicate?
[15:20] Tess
Do I seem that delicate?
[15:27] Tess
Oh, that didn't take long.
[15:32] Friend 2
- Feyrith? Feyrith?
- You okay?
[15:37] Arthur
Unbelievable...
[15:40] Arthur
Run!
[15:41] Tess
Art?
[15:46] Arthur
A princess can't go around
slugging her subjects!
[15:49] Tess
But...
[15:50] Arthur
No buts! You have to consider your position!
[15:55] Grey
I suppose I'm not really one to talk.
[15:58] Tess
But you're going home, and I can't
even join the others at the exchange.
[16:05] Tess
And now you're getting angry
at me the way Father does?
[16:10] Tess
Art, you're such...
[16:11] Tess
An old man!
[16:13] Grey
An old man?!
[16:21] Arthur
I know.
[16:39] Tess
Who's there?
[16:43] Tess
Art?
[16:46] Arthur
Hey, want to go to the woods, like we used to?
[17:05] Tess
Should we? Weren't we told to stay out?
[17:08] Arthur
If we run into more kidnappers,
this time, we'll run.
[17:12] Arthur
Besides, look.
[17:18] Tess
They're doing well!
[17:25] Arthur
Are you tired?
[17:28] Tess
I'm okay!
[17:30] Arthur
Don't force yourself to stay up, okay?
[17:32] Tess
It's fine! I'm not sleeping.
[17:48] Arthur
Still scared of ghosts?
[17:49] Tess
N-Not at all!
[17:52] Arthur
But you're shaking.
[17:54] Tess
It's just cold!
[18:00] Tess
What's the human kingdom like?
[18:03] Arthur
I'm not sure. I never really got to find out.
[18:06] Tess
Then couldn't you just... stay here?
[18:09] Arthur
But, if I did that...
[18:14] Arthur
Huh?
[18:31] Arthur
Looking good.
[18:37] Virion
Something to help ensure that
you don't get lost again.
[18:40] Arthur
A compass?
[18:41] Virion
With the Eralith family seal.
[18:43] Virion
It will come in handy when you decide to return.
[18:46] Arthur
Thank you, Grandpa!
[18:49] Virion
Don't overdo it with the
late night strolls, now.
[18:51] Arthur
Sorry.
[18:58] Arthur
Where's Tess?
[19:22] Tess
Art! Art!
[19:26] Tess
Art!
[19:29] Arthur
Tess!
[19:39] Tess
Make sure to eat properly, okay?
And don't go wandering around!
[19:43] Tess
A-And... uh...
[19:45] Arthur
I know.
[19:50] Arthur
I'll miss you, Tess.
[20:00] Tess
I'll miss you, too, Art!
[22:08] Arthur
This is the flying city of Xyrus.
[22:14] Arthur
I'm finally going to see Mom and Dad again.
[22:19] Arthur
Are you ready?
[22:24] Ellie
Coming!
[22:32] Alice
Come on, Eleanor! We were
in the middle of a meal.
[22:41] Arthur
Um...
[22:44] Arthur
I guess I should say, "I'm home."

[00:11] Alice
Arthur?
[00:14] Alice
Is that you, Arthur?
[00:16] Arthur
Yes.
[00:20] Alice
Welcome home! You really came back!
[00:24] Rey
Oh, Arthur! You're back!
[00:29] Ellie
Mommy, no! No crying!
[00:35] (Flashback) Rey
Take your mom and get away from here.
[00:40] (Flashback) Arthur
What are you saying?! I can fight, too!
I'm already strong enough.
[00:46] (Flashback) Rey
Then use that strength to protect her.
[00:50] (Flashback) Rey
She's going to have another baby.
[00:56] Grey
Then this is that baby.
[01:01] Arthur
It's nice to meet you. I'm Arthur Leywin.
[01:05] Alice
He's your big brother, Eleanor.
[01:09] Ellie
My big brother?
SIGN #8 Reunited with the King.
[02:48] Alice
How do you feel? You said you were
sick when you got in touch with us.
[02:53] Alice
Are you cured?
[02:54] Arthur
I'm fine now.
[02:56] Alice
Have you been eating properly?
You look so skinny.
[03:01] Arthur
Yeah, I have been.
[03:04] Rey
You're interrogating the boy, honey!
[03:06] Alice
You're right. Sorry.
[03:09] Alice
Eleanor, come over here.
[03:12] Alice
Remember how we would always talk
about your big brother before bed?
[03:17] Ellie
Big brother?
[03:20] Arthur
Eleanor, I'm really happy to
finally meet my little sister.
[03:28] Grey
Once things settled down, I told them
about everything that had happened.
[03:32] Grey
And while I trust them,
I left out the part where I met Sylvia.
[03:41] Grey
Which means I explained
my survival from the fall
[03:47] Grey
as a combination of subconscious
magic use and luck.
[03:51] Grey
I told them how I met Tess,
and then recovered in the Kingdom of Elenoir.
[03:57] Alice
I see. And that sickness won't relapse?
[04:01] Arthur
You don't have to worry.
[04:03] Arthur
The cause was apparently my mana core awakening
too early, and being unstable as a result.
[04:10] Grey
As reluctant as I was to lie my parents,
[04:14] Grey
telling them the whole truth before I had
become stronger posed too much of a risk.
[04:21] Rey
So, who's your little friend?
[04:24] Arthur
I found a mana beast nest during my travels.
[04:29] Arthur
That's where Sylvie's mother was, dying.
[04:33] Arthur
Unfortunately, I couldn't help her.
[04:38] Arthur
So, I decided to take this little
gal in, and care for her.
[04:42] Arthur
Her name's Sylvie.
[04:44] Ellie
Sylvie!
[04:47] Rey
Well, more than anything else,
I'm glad you're healthy.
[04:50] Alice
Really.
[04:52] Rey
Hey, I'm curious!
What stage is your mana core at?
[04:57] Alice
Reynolds! What kind of question is that to
ask your son after he's finally come home?!
[05:01] Rey
What's the harm in comparing
his growth and mine?
[05:04] Arthur
Actually, Dad, what have you been doing lately?
[05:07] Rey
Me? I've got a job at the Helstea Auction House.
[05:13] Rey
I'm the instructor for their security team!
[05:16] Arthur
More than your beard has grown, then!
[05:19] Arthur
So, what stage is your mana core at?
[05:22] Rey
Two years ago, I hit deep orange.
[05:26] Arthur
Orange?!
[05:28] Arthur
The color of mana, in ascending order,
starts at black, then red,
[05:32] Arthur
orange, yellow, silver, and white.
[05:36] Arthur
Similarly each has three stages:
deep, standard, and light.
[05:42] Arthur
Since he's an augmenter, it's clear
that he's been training physically.
[05:46] Arthur
Still, having increased the
stage of his mana core...
[05:49] Arthur
implies some significant effort.
[05:52] Rey
Impressive, right? So, what stage are you at?
[05:56] Arthur
Light red.
[05:57] Rey
Light... Light red?!
[06:00] Rey
Damn it! He's almost caught up to me!
[06:04] Ellie
Damn it!
[06:06] Alice
That's incredible, Arthur!
[06:08] Alice
Reynolds, didn't I tell you to
watch your language around Eleanor?
[06:14] Rey
I'm begging you, Eleanor, don't use that word.
[06:18] Ellie
Damn it! No!
[06:21] Rey
How the heck did you manage light red?
[06:23] Rey
Y'know what, never mind! Let's head
to the back yard and spar right now!
[06:27] Ellie
Damn, damn, damn!
[06:29] Alice
Eleanor, no!
[06:31] Alice
This is your fault, honey!
[06:33] Rey
I-I'm sorry...
[06:34] Alice
I keep telling you, but you never listen!
[06:35] Arthur
It really feels good to be home.
[06:38] Vincent
Reynolds! Is it true that your boy's alive?!
[06:44] Arthur
Are these friends of my family?
[06:48] Rey
Arthur, this is Vincent Helstea.
[06:53] Rey
He runs the auction house, and he's my boss.
[06:56] Rey
Vincent, Tabitha, let me introduce you.
[06:59] Rey
This is my son, Arthur.
[07:02] Arthur
It's a pleasure to meet all of you,
Mr. and Mrs. Helstea.
[07:08] Vincent
What manners! Are you really Reynolds' son?
[07:12] Rey
Hey!
[07:13] Arthur
I get that a lot, but it is true.
[07:17] Tabitha
Arthur, this is Lilia.
I hope you two can be friends.
[07:22] Arthur
Nice to meet you, Lilia.
[07:27] Lilia
N-Nice to meet you, Arthur!
[07:29] Lilia
Can I pet your little friend?
[07:31] Arthur
Sure.
[07:32] Rey
Oh, Arthur, this is actually his house,
[07:36] Rey
so it's good you introduced
yourself before we made a mess.
[07:39] Vincent
A mess?
[07:40] Rey
That's right. I was just about to
spar with Arthur in the rear garden.
[07:46] Vincent
Sparring, eh?
[07:49] Vincent
Wait, sparring?
[08:05] Vincent
They're actually going to spar.
[08:08] Vincent
Alice, is what he said about Arthur's
mana core being light red a joke?
[08:13] Alice
I was shocked to hear it,
but he's always been a fast learner.
[08:18] Vincent
So, not only did his mana core
awaken at eight years old,
[08:20] Vincent
he's already progressed through three stages.
[08:23] Alice
He's got no reason to lie about it, though.
[08:26] Tabitha
Just sit down, dear.
[08:28] Vincent
O-Okay.
[08:30] Vincent
Even the eleven and twelve-year-old
prodigies admitted
[08:35] Vincent
to the prestigious Xyrus Academy
are barely able to reach deep red.
[08:39] Grey
From what I hear, I probably shouldn't mention
how my progress was limited to light red
[08:45] Grey
because I didn't practice much during
my time assimilating Sylvia's will.
[08:50] Rey
Get ready, Arthur.
[08:53] Rey
Your dad's tougher than he ever was.
[08:56] Arthur
So am I.
[08:58] Rey
Let's go!
[09:13] Rey
Not quite enough! You've got to try harder!
[09:32] Arthur
So, what do you think?
[09:34] Rey
Not bad at all! I admit, you got
me when I let my focus waver, too.
[09:40] Rey
That said, I'm only getting serious now.
[09:47] Rey
Consider yourself warned.
[09:51] Grey
The sorcerers of this world have
elements that they are best suited to.
[09:56] Grey
Conjurers learn which element
they are compatible with,
[10:00] Grey
and then gain control over them.
[10:12] Grey
But augmenters have trouble
discerning this as clearly,
[10:16] Grey
and are only able to realize their compatible
element after a fair amount of effort.
[10:25] Grey
There was something in my past life
that functioned a lot like mana.
[10:30] Grey
It was ki: life force.
[10:34] Grey
Unlike elements, ki was something
that you had full autonomy over.
[10:38] Grey
Not only that...
[10:50] Grey
The lack of inborn compatibility meant
that, while it required more effort,
[10:55] Grey
those efforts also would
bear even greater rewards.
[10:59] Grey
I believe that makes it comparable
to the augmenters of this world.
[11:08] Grey
I've had no shortage of good
luck since being born here,
[11:13] Grey
and this is the cumulative result of it all.
[11:27] Arthur
Okay, I'll get serious, too!
[12:10] Grey
My memories of ki from my past life
[12:12] Grey
made my training with Virion over
these years all the more fruitful.
[12:17] (Flashback) Virion
You've improved a great deal
with the fire element, Arthur.
[12:23] (Flashback) Virion
So, let's proceed beyond that.
[12:25] (Flashback) Arthur
What's beyond it?
[12:51] Rey
Advanced fire magic!
[12:55] Arthur
I wouldn't be surprised just yet.
[13:13] Vincent
Water elemental magic?!
[13:15] Vincent
That can't be!
[13:30] Rey
That was incredible, Arthur!
[13:35] Rey
When did you learn all that?
And how? What else can you do?
[13:40] Arthur
Pretty recently. I can only
just barely control it, though.
[13:45] Ellie
You okay, Daddy?
[13:47] Alice
Don't run, Eleanor! Be careful!
[13:50] Vincent
That was amazing. I need a drink.
[13:54] Tabitha
That boy is something else. A real genius!
[14:06] Vincent
Do you realize exactly how promising
your son's future is, right now?
[14:13] Rey
You bet I do.
[14:14] Rey
I've known ever since he
awakened, at age three.
[14:17] Tabitha
He awakened at three?!
[14:19] Alice
He blew apart the house in the process.
[14:22] Vincent
That's how your house was wrecked?
[14:27] Rey
That really takes me back!
[14:29] Ellie
Are you okay, Daddy?
[14:32] Vincent
Reynolds! What about enrolling
Arthur in Xyrus Academy?
[14:37] Arthur
Xyrus Academy?
[14:39] Rey
Are you serious? It's the most prestigious
magic academy on the continent!
[14:45] Tabitha
My husband might be drunk,
but he's making sense.
[14:50] Tabitha
Honestly, considering the potential he has,
we'd be happy to invest in Arthur's future.
[14:55] Tabitha
So you won't need to worry about tuition.
[14:59] Alice
You've been so kind to us already,
and now you're offering to pay Aurthre's tuition?
[15:05] Alice
I mean, he's only eight years old.
I'm not sure what the school will say.
[15:13] Vincent
Funnily enough, I'm familiar with the
director of Xyrus Academy through work.
[15:18] Vincent
If I talk to her directly...
[15:20] Arthur
Sorry, but since this is about me,
is it all right if I say one thing?
[15:27] Vincent
What is it, Arthur?
[15:29] Arthur
I appreciate your interest, but I haven't
seen my family in very long time.
[15:35] Vincent
That's right... Of course. I think
I might've gotten ahead of myself.
[15:40] Arthur
The sparring wore me out more than I thought,
too, so if you'll please excuse me.
[15:49] Vincent
I wonder if I shouldn't have said anything.
[15:59] Lilia
If you head that way, you'll
end up lost in the basement.
[16:04] Arthur
Lilia?
[16:06] Lilia
Follow me. I know the perfect spot.
[16:13] Lilia
Everyone! We've got a guest today.
You don't mind, do you?
[16:17] Staff
Miss Lilia.
[16:20] Maria
Well now, is this the boy that torched the
garden I spend so much time maintaining?
[16:26] Arthur
I apologize for the trouble.
[16:29] Servant 1
Don't let it worry you. She's just poking fun.
[16:35] Arthur
She barely said a word before.
Is this what she's really like?
[16:40] Lilia
Do we have any duck left?
The fatty part, especially.
[16:44] Maria
Miss Lilia, do mind what you eat. The missus
was upset about you gaining weight recently.
[16:52] Lilia
I thought we agreed not to
discuss my weight, Maria.
[16:55] Lilia
I'm a healthy, growing girl, after all!
[16:59] Servant 3
Miss Lilia tends to come here
when she's feeling stressed.
[17:03] Arthur
Stressed?
[17:05] Servant 3
The master and missus want nothing
more than for her to awaken as a sorcerer,
[17:13] Servant 3
even though they're not sorcerors themselves.
[17:15] Servant 3
Miss Lilia wants that for
herself as well,
[17:19] Servant 3
but I have to imagine it's a lot
of pressure to put on a child.
[17:29] Alice
I still can't believe you're back with us.
[17:33] Alice
And you're so grown up and handsome looking.
[17:36] Rey
And it doesn't matter how different
you look. You're still our son.
[17:41] Arthur
Am I really that different?
[17:43] Alice
No, on the inside, you're the exact
same boy. So smart, and kind...
[17:49] Rey
Yeah. I might know you're going to be the
strongest sorcerer ever in the future now,
[17:54] Rey
but that's only the second best
bit of news I've gotten today.
[17:59] Alice
Your father's right.
[18:02] Arthur
About that...
[18:03] Rey
Why don't we let Arthur get a bit of rest?
[18:06] Alice
Good idea.
[18:14] Alice
What? Are you too old for
this kind of thing now?
[18:18] Alice
A shame, if true.
[18:25] Arthur
Good night, Dad. Good night, Mom.
I missed you both a lot.
[18:30] Alice
Right. Sleep well, okay?
[18:33] Rey
Arthur, about what Vincent said...
[18:36] Rey
It was out of concern for you.
[18:38] Arthur
Don't worry. I know the Helsteas
didn't mean anything bad by it.
[18:47] Alice
Good night, Arthur.
[19:04] Angela
Arthur?!
[19:07] Angela
Thank goodness you're all right! What a relief!
[19:10] Angela
I missed you so much!
[19:11] Arthur
Angela... I can't breathe.
[19:14] Angela
Oh, pardon me.
[19:16] Arthur
Durden, you seem a lot bigger than I remember!
[19:20] Durden
That makes both of us, kid.
[19:22] Adam
Whoa, whoa. I thought we were gonna
be all smiles for the kid's sake.
[19:27] Adam
What're you crying for?
[19:29] Adam
And is no one gonna ask about that
black mana beast he's got with him?
[19:34] Helen
Just ignore this moron.
[19:37] Helen
Arthur, you've gotten so much
taller... and more handsome.
[19:43] Adam
Now it's like I'm the bad guy for not crying.
[19:46] Adam
I'm just trying to keep my cool, that's all.
[19:56] Jasmine
I'm really sorry. It was my mistake.
Forgive me, Arthur.
[20:02] Arthur
Jasmine...
[20:06] Rey
Looks like we won't need to step in, after all.
[20:15] Arthur
Wait, so you got back all
the way from Etistin City?
[20:19] Durden
Yeah. The pay made the trip worthwhile.
[20:23] Adam
You seriously think that was worth it?
[20:26] Helen
You're the only one who had any trouble.
[20:29] Angela
So, we took a few jobs on the way back,
and now we're finally here.
[20:35] Angela
We ended up visiting a bunch of places
we'd never been to before.
[20:39] Adam
They all seemed the same to me.
[20:42] Jasmine
Adam was buying souvenirs wherever we went.
[20:46] Adam
What's the harm in that?!
[20:46] Grey
I see. Thinking about it now, I know next
to nothing about the Dicathen Continent,
[20:49] Helen
There was that thing with the
weird color that you got.
[20:50] Adam
It wasn't that weird.
[20:51] Durden
Now, now.
[20:52] Helen
It was gross.
[20:52] Grey
much less the Kingdom of Sapin.
[20:53] Adam
I'm telling you, it's perfectly normal! Look!
[20:54] Helen
Put that away!
[20:55] Adam
Look!
[20:55] Grey
Becoming an adventurer to learn those
sorts of things might not be so bad.
[20:55] Durden
Well, it's certainly a... unique bit of merchandise.
[20:58] Helen
He's just being nice.
[20:59] Adam
What the hell?! I don't see what the problem is!
[21:01] Grey
But...
[21:02] Durden
There's no problem, you two.
[21:04] Helen
Who buys something like that that?
[21:06] Adam
I'll tell you who, literally
anyone! That's who!

[00:27] Arthur
I can't believe I can only
hold it for a few seconds.
[00:30] Grey
Was it reckless? Should I be
pursuing a different option?
[00:35] Grey
No. I need to master this power,
[00:40] Grey
so that I can defend those I love.
[00:44] Arthur
That's the whole reason I came back.
[00:51] Arthur
That's right. I'm...
[01:02] Arthur
I'm back home.
[01:05] Arthur
You reek!
SIGN #9 The King Teaches.
[02:43] Arthur
Quit squirming!
[02:46] Arthur
We can't have you stinking
up this fancy mansion.
[02:52] Grey
I have to say,
[02:53] Grey
the Helsteas have certainly reaped the
benefits of running their auction house.
[03:00] (Flashback) Arthur
Stressed?
[03:02] (Flashback) Servant
The master and missus want nothing
more than for her to awaken as a sorcerer,
[03:09] (Flashback) Servant
even though they're not sorcerers themselves.
[03:12] Arthur
I can't get it out of my head.
[03:17] Arthur
Oh, sorry, Sylvie! Let me wipe you down.
[03:24] Arthur
There, you're much cleaner now.
[03:26] Alice
And I'd say that next...
[03:29] Alice
It's time to clean you up!
[03:31] Ellie
Yeah!
[03:39] Beautician
Oh my, I've got a real unpolished gem here!
[03:43] Beautician
I'm going to enjoy this job.
[03:45] Arthur
An unpolished gem?
[03:47] Beautician
Relax. You're going to be shining
like a star when I'm done with you.
[04:04] Alice
Honey, you look perfect!
[04:07] Ellie
My big brother looks neat!
[04:09] Arthur
Wh-What's all this for, though?
[04:11] Tabitha
I was thinking you should
come by the auction house.
[04:16] Alice
The Helstea Auction House is such a draw
that royalty will show up in disguise!
[04:22] Alice
So, we couldn't have you
showing up looking shabby.
[04:24] Grey
Was it really that bad?
[04:28] Tabitha
Today, we're going to show
you around Xyrus City.
[04:31] Ellie
Big brother!
[04:33] Ellie
Escort me, please.
[04:37] Arthur
It would be my pleasure.
[04:40] Lilia
I'm jealous. Before you got back,
Eleanor was all over me.
[04:45] Arthur
She just thinks I'm novel
because I only just got back.
[04:48] Arthur
Right?
[04:50] Ellie
That's right!
[04:56] Lilia
I'm glad the outfit suits you.
[05:00] Arthur
Did you pick it out?
[05:02] Lilia
Yeah. Not the whole thing, though.
[05:44] Arthur
Who were they?
[05:45] Lilia
Students from the Xyrus Magic Academy.
[05:48] Arthur
They seem like trouble...
[05:50] Lilia
Well, yeah. Wearing one of the uniforms
practically makes you royalty around here.
[05:56] Arthur
Then why...
[06:01] Grey
I sense something.
[06:08] Tabitha
Those are beast cores.
[06:10] Arthur
Beast cores as in...
[06:12] Tabitha
Right. Magic cores taken from mana beasts,
[06:16] Tabitha
that amplify the power of those who hold them.
[06:20] Arthur
Beast cores can be bought and sold?
[06:23] Tabitha
Oh, you didn't know?
[06:25] Alice
We ended up separated from him before we had
a chance to take him to a store like this.
[06:28] Arthur
That wasn't the case with the elves.
[06:31] Tabitha
The effects tend to vary depending on the core.
[06:33] Tabitha
If it comes with a beast will,
it'd be worth a hundred gold coins.
[06:38] Arthur
A hundred gold coins?
[06:39] Alice
That'd be enough money to live
off of for 250 years, back home.
[06:43] Arthur
250 years?!
[06:46] Tabitha
A few are going to be on
sale at the next auction.
[06:50] Tabitha
I'll arrange it so you get a
chance to check them out, Arthur.
[06:53] Arthur
Right.
[06:54] Grey
I'm satisfied with the
beast will I have now, frankly.
[06:59] Lilia
Mom...
[07:00] Lilia
Mom, I think...
[07:03] Tabitha
The answer's still no. Having a beast core
isn't a shortcut to awakening your sorcery.
[07:08] Tabitha
We've been over this.
[07:10] Lilia
But...
[07:11] Tabitha
Besides, buying something so expensive
for a child doesn't make any sense.
[07:16] Lilia
But... the weapon stores have cheaper
ones! I just want to try it out.
[07:21] Tabitha
No. And we're done talking about this.
[07:40] Grey
From their conversation, it doesn't sound
like her mother is pressuring Lilia.
[07:50] Grey
So, is it her father's expectations
that trouble her? Or perhaps...
[07:56] Arthur
Hey, listen—
[07:57] Arthur
Huh?
[07:59] Grey
She's gone.
[08:00] Grey
But where to?
[08:17] Lilia
I could afford this with my allowance.
[08:20] Arthur
Are you really going to buy it?
[08:22] Lilia
Arthur? What are you doing here?
[08:24] Arthur
Having a beast core isn't a guarantee
you'll be able to use magic.
[08:29] Arthur
Your mom told you as much.
[08:32] Lilia
We won't know unless we try!
[08:36] Arthur
And what if you try, and it doesn't work?
[08:37] Lilia
I've already tried so many different things!
[08:40] Lilia
One more failure won't get to me.
[08:43] Arthur
Lilia...
[08:44] Lilia
You're special, so you don't understand!
[08:47] Lilia
Mom and Dad won't even let me touch a
beast core, no matter how much I ask!
[08:52] Grey
I see. Then I'm the reason
she's feeling this pressure.
[08:58] Arthur
Lilia, let's talk this over.
[08:59] Lilia
Leave me alone!
[09:02] Lilia
I'm sorry.
[09:07] Student B
Who's this shrimp?
[09:09] Student A
Was that your idea of an apology?
[09:11] Student C
Who do you think you're dealing with?
[09:14] Arthur
Those uniforms...
[09:15] Store Owner
Hey! What's all this commotion—
[09:19] ---
Eh?
[09:20] Store Owner
Uh, no... take your time.
[09:24] Student B
He says we can take our time.
[09:26] Student A
So, how are we gonna have some fun?
[09:31] Grey
This has become a nuisance.
[09:33] Student C
Don't even bother trying to run away!
[09:36] Grey
I was hoping to avoid getting rough, but...
[09:40] Tabitha
What are you doing?
[09:42] Tabitha
Both of you, release your power! Right now!
[09:46] Student B
Wh-Who are you supposed to be?
[09:47] Store Owner
Lady, those are students from the Academy!
[09:51] Store Owner
If you upset them and it
ends up affecting my store—
[09:53] Tabitha
You're worried about that?
[09:55] Tabitha
Instead of what's going to happen if you let
the daughter of the Helsteas get injured?
[10:01] Store Owner
The Helsteas?! Of the auction house?!
[10:03] Student A
The Helsteas... of the auction house.
[10:04] Student B
They're big donors to the Academy, too.
[10:07] Student B
If the director finds out...
[10:10] Student B
Damn it.
[10:13] Student B
Too useless to earn your spot,
so you wanna buy it, huh?
[10:19] Arthur
Lilia...
[10:25] Vincent
A fight with students from the Academy?!
[10:28] Tabitha
I stopped it before it got that far.
[10:31] Alice
We were honestly more worried
about the other students.
[10:36] Lilia
I'm sorry, Dad.
[10:39] Vincent
Lilia...
[10:41] Vincent
It's nothing to worry about.
Not some trifle like this.
[10:46] Vincent
You too, Arthur. This won't be any kind of
problem if you choose to enroll at the Academy.
[10:52] Vincent
You can relax.
[10:53] Arthur
Uh, I really haven't decided...
[10:55] Vincent
We've made many sizable
donations to the Academy.
[10:59] Vincent
An incident like this won't be
enough to deprive you of a spot.
[11:02] Lilia
Are you saying that you want to send
Arthur to the Academy in my place, Dad?
[11:09] ---
Huh?
[11:10] Vincent
Of course not—
[11:12] Lilia
Because, after all this time,
I still can't use magic,
[11:16] Lilia
so you want to send Arthur
instead of me, is that it?
[11:20] Tabitha
What are you saying, Lilia? Calm down.
[11:24] Lilia
I hate you, Dad!
[11:26] Lilia
And you too, Arthur!
[11:34] Arthur
Lilia. It's time for dinner.
[11:40] Arthur
Lilia, I...
[11:51] (Flashback) Lilia
The Academy?
[11:53] (Flashback) Vincent
That's right. It's the school you'll
attend when you're old enough.
[11:57] (Flashback) Vincent
It's a school for sorcerers.
[12:00] (Flashback) Lilia
I wanna be a sorcerer!
[12:06] Lilia
When will my magic awaken?
[12:11] (Flashback) Tabitha
There's no need to rush.
This is normal, for your age.
[12:16] (Flashback) Vincent
We've made sizable donations to the Academy.
[12:19] (Flashback) Vincent
There'll definitely be a place for you, there.
[12:22] Lilia
But...
[12:24] (Flashback) Vincent
What about enrolling Arthur in Xyrus Academy?
[12:25] Vincent
We've made many sizable
donations to the Academy.
[12:28] (Flashback) Student B
Too useless to earn your spot,
so you wanna buy it, huh?
[12:30] Arthur
Lilia. Lilia!
[12:33] Arthur
There you are.
[12:38] Lilia
Arthur...
[12:40] Arthur
Your mom and dad are worried about you.
[12:47] Arthur
Lilia... I'm sorry—
[12:50] Grey
Apologies can give the impression of arrogance,
[12:53] Grey
even if that wasn't the intention... particularly
when the haves offer them to the have-nots.
[12:59] Lilia
I'm sorry, Arthur.
[13:02] Lilia
I was jealous of you.
[13:07] Lilia
You showed up out of nowhere,
and had this amazing power...
[13:10] Lilia
and stole all my dad's attention.
[13:13] Arthur
It's not like that—
[13:14] Lilia
I'm sorry.
[13:16] Lilia
It's my fault for not awakening my magic,
no matter how much time passes.
[13:21] Lilia
I'm sure Mom and Dad are tired of me.
[13:27] Grey
I know this feeling.
[13:31] Grey
The cold sensation of sinking into
the darkness of self-reproach.
[13:39] Grey
I know what to do.
[13:43] Lilia
Arthur?
[13:45] Arthur
You should know better!
[13:47] Arthur
Even I can tell how hard you're trying, Lilia.
[13:55] Arthur
When I was separated from my parents,
there was a girl who cheered me up like this.
[14:09] Lilia
It's pretty...
[14:11] Arthur
That same girl taught me about them.
[14:13] Arthur
They're my favorite flowers.
[14:16] Arthur
Lilia, your mom and dad know
how hard you're trying.
[14:22] Arthur
As for his expectations for me, well...
[14:27] Arthur
It's just like Eleanor! He just finds me
novel because I showed up out of nowhere.
[14:37] Lilia
Dad wants me to become a sorcerer
because he wants me to be happy.
[14:43] Lilia
Which is the same reason
he donates to the Academy.
[14:47] Lilia
But I went and started feeling
all this pressure on my own...
[14:50] Arthur
I see.
[14:52] Grey
On her own, eh?
[14:54] Grey
No, it's not that simple.
[14:57] Grey
The more Vincent does to push this through,
[14:59] Grey
the more it places expectations from
otherwise unrelated people on Lilia.
[15:02] Grey
The results are obvious.
[15:05] Grey
So, the best thing to do...
[15:06] Arthur
Lilia, do you really want
to be able to use magic?
[15:11] Lilia
Huh?
[15:13] Vincent
What?!
[15:15] Vincent
Lilia left the house?!
What are you saying, Arthur?!
[15:19] Tabitha
Please, explain!
[15:21] Arthur
She's doing it to awaken her magic.
[15:24] Arthur
I've sent Lilia to where I was
before, so she can train.
[15:28] Tabitha
Train?
[15:30] Alice
In the place you were?
[15:33] Arthur
You don't have to worry. It's a
great place. I promise you that.
[15:37] Vincent
That really isn't the issue!
[15:39] Vincent
Why would you do this without asking us first?!
[15:41] Arthur
It's what she wants.
[15:44] Arthur
She said that, if she spoke to you
two first, it'd make her waver.
[15:58] Vincent
"Dear Mom and Dad. As long as
I am unable to use magic..."
[16:03] Lilia
I'm a useless burden to the two of you.
[16:07] Lilia
However many years it might take,
I promise to become an amazing sorcerer,
[16:11] Lilia
and then return to you.
[16:14] Lilia
Please, stay well.
[16:17] Alice
But that's...
[16:22] Vincent
I've... I've been a fool.
[16:27] Vincent
I pushed my belief that being a sorcerer
would mean a happy future onto her.
[16:34] Vincent
She doesn't need to be a sorcerer.
[16:37] Vincent
Even without magic, Lilia is still
my daughter, and I love her!
[16:45] Arthur
You hear that, Lilia?
[16:53] Tabitha
Lilia?!
[16:56] Arthur
See? It's just like I told you.
[16:59] Vincent
What's going on here?
[17:01] Lilia
Mom, Dad, I'm sorry for lying.
[17:05] Arthur
No, I should be the one to apologize.
[17:08] Arthur
Forgive me for doing this.
[17:11] Arthur
I know that losing a child is a pain
worse than death, for a parent,
[17:16] Arthur
especially considering I made my own
parents suffer for a similar reason.
[17:22] Rey
Arthur...
[17:23] Arthur
I understand it's reprehensible to
test the two of you in the same way.
[17:28] Arthur
But...
[17:30] Vincent
No, it's fine. This is all my doing.
[17:36] Vincent
I was insensitive. Trying to send your son,
who had finally come home, off to the Academy.
[17:42] Vincent
I...
[17:44] Vincent
Reynolds, Alice, please, accept my apology.
[17:51] Vincent
You too, Lilia. You don't
have to attend the Academy.
[17:56] Vincent
Even if you're not a sorcerer,
I promise I'll make you happy.
[18:02] Lilia
Dad...
[18:04] Lilia
No, I still want to go to the Academy.
[18:08] Lilia
Even if I can't right away,
I want to learn how to use magic.
[18:12] Lilia
I want to become the kind of sorcerer
who can make other people happy, too.
[18:19] Lilia
Like Arthur.
[18:23] Vincent
Lilia...
[18:25] Tabitha
I know you can do it, sweetie.
[18:30] Arthur
Okay, then.
[18:32] Arthur
I'll awaken Lilia's mana.
[18:41] Ellie
I get to be strong like big brother?
[18:44] Arthur
You sure do.
[18:45] Tabitha
I know Arthur only wants to help,
and that he is incredibly talented,
[18:50] Tabitha
but I've never heard of anything like this.
[18:52] Arthur
The first step involves your breathing.
[18:55] Lilia
Breathing?
[18:56] Grey
Mana gives off a stronger impression when
you're breathing in a focused, meditative fashion.
[19:02] Grey
I hope I can get that across to them.
[19:05] Arthur
Take a deep breath, and then slowly let it out.
[19:10] Arthur
Deep breath, and slowly let it out...
[19:14] Arthur
Now close your eyes.
[19:17] Arthur
Keep going until you can see a
light appear in the darkness.
[19:29] Ellie
Pretty light!
[19:31] Ellie
Oh, but it's gone...
[19:34] Arthur
That's because your let your
breathing get disrupted.
[19:39] Lilia
I can't see anything yet. Why?
[19:42] Arthur
There's no rush. Just keep breathing.
[19:46] Grey
If my theory is correct...
[19:50] Arthur
Lilia, Eleanor. You might feel a little heat,
but keep breathing like I taught you.
[20:09] Lilia
It's beautiful...
[20:12] Lilia
This gentle light.
[20:14] Vincent
Lilia?
[20:17] Lilia
It's like the flower Arthur showed me.
[20:25] All
Cheers!
[20:28] Servant 3
I'm so happy for you, Miss Lilia!
[20:31] Lilia
Thank you.
[20:34] Maria
To celebrate, some duck
with plenty of fat on it!
[20:38] Maria
Eat all you want today!
[20:41] Lilia
Yes!
[20:42] Arthur
It might take two of three years
until the power stabilizes.
[20:46] Arthur
It'll be a lot of work,
but keep at it, every day.
[20:49] Lilia
I wonder what kind of elements
I'll be able to use.
[20:55] Lilia
Hey!
[22:37] Court Mage
The auction house, eh?
[22:40] Court Mage
I wonder if anything there will prove amusing.

So, this is the Helstea Auction House!
[00:15] Ellie
It's like a castle!
[00:18] Alice
I hope we have the manners for this.
[00:20] Tabitha
It'll be fine. Don't worry,
and have a good time.
[00:24] Lilia
Let's hurry inside. That's
where the real surprises are.
[00:34] Grey
There will be aristocrats and adventurers
enjoying tonight's festivities.
[00:50] Grey
It's a prime chance to purchase
some of the inventory
[00:52] Grey
that Vincent and other
collectors have assembled.
[00:57] Lilia
What beautiful beast cores!
[01:06] Grey
Fascinating.
[01:11] Reynolds
I want everyone's heads on a
swivel. No mistakes tonight.
[01:15] Security Team
Yes, sir!
[01:17] Arthur
Dad seems totally different from usual.
[01:20] Ellie
He's cool!
[01:22] Alice
Make sure to tell him later.
He'll love to hear it.
[01:33] Vincent
Ladies and gentlemen!
[01:35] Vincent
Allow me to introduce our guests of honor...
[01:38] Vincent
His Majesty, King Blaine Glayder!
[01:41] Vincent
Queen Priscilla!
[01:43] Vincent
Prince Curtis!
[01:45] Vincent
And Princess Kathlyn!
[01:53] Grey
It seems the king is fairly popular.
[01:55] Vincent
And now, let the Helstea
10th Anniversary Auction begin!
[02:03] Grey
Such a nostalgic feeling.
[02:05] Grey
It reminds me of my past life.
SIGN #10 The King's Defiance.
[03:54] Vincent
This sword was forged by a renowned craftsman.
[03:58] Vincent
With the application of mana,
electricity will flow through its tip,
[04:01] Vincent
resulting in both a razor-sharp edge
[04:03] Vincent
and a special effect that will
render your foe immobile.
[04:06] Vincent
We'll start with a bid of 50 gold pieces.
[04:10] Audience
51!
[04:11] Audience
52!
[04:11] Audience
53!
[04:13] Grey
So, certain high-quality weapons can receive an elemental enchantment.
[04:17] Grey
I need to remember to try that.
[04:28] Alice
Did you see anything you want?
[04:30] Arthur
Nothing that we can afford.
[04:32] Alice
You're right about that.
[04:33] Arthur
Huh, where'd Sylvie go?
[04:37] Alice
Eleanor was carrying her a minute ago.
[04:41] Arthur
I'm going to go look for her.
[04:57] Vincent
Now, who will be the person with the riches
and luck necessary to secure our next item?
[05:03] Vincent
Here he is, a World Lion cub!
[05:10] Vincent
World Lions grow up to become
powerful mana beasts,
[05:15] Vincent
and it's fair to say this little
fella could even reach A-Class.
[05:20] Curtis
Father, I want that one.
[05:22] King
Right.
[05:23] Vincent
Now, who wants to hold the
reins of a legendary beast?
[05:27] Vincent
The bidding will begin with a
starting price of 100 gold pieces.
[05:30] Audience
300!
[05:31] Audience
400!
[05:32] Audience
450!
[05:34] King
1000.
[05:39] Vincent
And a stunning bid of 1000
gold pieces from our king!
[05:43] Arthur
Where did she go?
[05:48] Arthur
Sylvie?
[05:50] Vincent
Congratulations on your purchase.
[05:53] Vincent
It only stands to reason that
no one could outbid our ruler.
[05:56] Vincent
What do you intend to do
with your new pet, my lord?
[05:59] King
While the idea of a partner intrigues me,
Curtis is the one who will be taking care of it.
[06:06] King
Although, whether he manages to do so
will depend his efforts and results.
[06:10] Curtis
I'll do my absolute best, Father.
[06:13] Queen
Oh, does that mean you're going
to quit skipping your lessons?
[06:18] Curtis
Mother...
[06:19] King
Is that right?
[06:23] Sebastian
Good girl, let me take a look at you.
[06:28] Arthur
Sylvie!
[06:35] Grey
A conjurer in the service of the king?
[06:41] Grey
If he causes a scene, it'll be a problem.
[06:44] Arthur
Excuse me, sir, could you return
her to me? She's my partner.
[06:50] Sebastian
Oh, she's not part of the auction?
[06:54] Sebastian
Such a unique mana beast...
[06:59] Sebastian
You're a very lucky lad. And your
little friend appears quite docile.
[07:09] Arthur
Don't wander off on your own again.
[07:14] Grey
This is bad.
[07:16] Arthur
Excuse me, but I need to head back.
[07:19] Sebastian
Leave her behind.
[07:21] ---
Huh?
[07:23] Sebastian
I've long sought a mana beast
worthy of my abilities.
[07:29] Arthur
What?
[07:31] Sebsastian
I can tap into her full potential.
[07:37] Sebsastian
Give her to me.
[07:42] Sebsastian
I'm offering you a chance to contract with me.
You should be grateful, and obey.
[07:47] Arthur
Why?
[07:48] Sebsastian
I am a conjurer in the
service of the royal family.
[07:51] Arthur
And?
[07:57] Sebastian
It's what's best for this
country and its future!
[08:00] Sebastian
Even a child should understand that.
[08:03] Grey
This is pointless.
[08:06] Sebastian
Do you not realize what happens
if you defy the royal family?
[08:12] Sebastian
Your family will be held responsible!
[08:19] Arthur
Say that again...
[08:48] King
This is overwhelming blood lust.
[08:53] King
Vincent?
[08:54] King
What's going on here?
[08:57] Trooper
Your Majesty! Please, stay back!
[08:59] King
Never mind me! Protect the others!
[09:02] King
What's going on here? Show yourself!
[09:12] Arthur
Damn it.
[09:19] Grey
My emotions got the better of me.
[09:24] Helen
Is everyone all right?
[09:26] Rey
For now. Could you handle
the other evacuation routes?
[09:32] Arthur
Dad, everyone, I'm so sorry.
[09:38] Arthur
I'm sorry I scared you, Sylvie!
[09:43] King
You're Reynolds Leywin,
the head of security, yes?
[09:46] ---
Sir.
[09:50] King
I'd like to talk to you.
[09:53] King
It seems you weren't able to catch the intruder.
[09:57] Rey
I'm sorry, my lord.
[09:59] King
Unfortunate as it may be, that
necessitates disciplinary action.
[10:06] Rey
By your command.
[10:09] Sebastian
Pardon me, Your Majesty.
[10:12] Sebastian
Given the lack of damage, I believe a merciful
response would be fair in this case.
[10:22] Sebastian
That is a fine mana beast you've got. I would
be able to raise it in the ideal environment.
[10:31] King
Sebastian here has served the royal
family as a bodyguard for many years,
[10:35] King
and has saved my family more
times than I can count.
[10:39] King
I've thought about how to best reward him,
[10:44] King
and it seems he's taken an
interest in your son's partner.
[10:51] Grey
They've got me.
[10:53] King
If he had such a partner, this kind of trouble
could have been avoided in the first place.
[10:58] King
What do you say?
[10:59] Arthur
I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but...
[11:01] Alice
Arthur!
[11:04] Rey
I'm afraid I need to apologize
for a second time, Your Majesty.
[11:09] Rey
I played no role in my son's
adoption of his partner.
[11:14] Rey
He obtained her himself, so I am in no position
to tell him what to do in that regard.
[11:23] King
And what do you say, boy?
[11:26] Troop 1
Kid, did your parents not teach you
not to look your betters in the eye
[11:30] Troop 1
when they talk to you?
[11:32] Alice
I'm so sorry.
[11:35] Grey
Stay calm. This is the king of Sapin.
[11:39] Arthur
I am truly grateful for
your kind offer, my lord,
[11:43] Arthur
but this is something I simply cannot agree to.
[11:47] Arthur
I could never find a replacement for Sylvie.
[11:49] Troop 1
Of all the nerve!
[11:51] King
It's fine.
[11:53] King
What about a trade, then, for the
World Lion cub I just purchased?
[11:58] Curtis
Father?!
[12:00] King
What do you say? Yours is certainly rare,
[12:04] King
but reptilian mana beasts
take a long time to mature,
[12:07] King
and even when they do,
they're not as strong as predators.
[12:12] Arthur
Forgive me for not making
myself clearer, Your Majesty,
[12:16] Arthur
but I have no intention of either
relinquishing or selling Sylvie.
[12:20] King
After two requests? Two requests, from me?
[12:25] Alice
Arthur...
[12:28] King
I'll ask one last time.
Will you let me have your partner?
[12:35] Arthur
May I ask you a question
in exchange, Your Majesty?
[12:38] Arthur
At what price would you
relinquish your own children?
[12:43] Arthur
You have asked me three times,
and three times, I have declined.
[12:48] Arthur
But it seems your pride poses an
obstacle in accepting that answer.
[12:54] Arthur
Which is why I ask, for what
price would you be willing
[12:58] Arthur
to hand over your own children, King Glayder?
[13:06] Sebastian
Do it.
[13:07] Troop 1
You arrogant little—
[13:09] Troop 2
How dare you humiliate the king!
[13:19] Sebastian
You fools! Can't you kill a mere child?!
[13:23] Sebastian
That beast must be mine, at any cost.
That's how valuable it is!
[13:46] Sebastian
What is this? What's going on?!
[13:49] Arthur
Your spells won't work.
[13:59] Sebastian
S-Stay away from me. You can't think
that you can defeat a royal conjurer!
[14:06] Arthur
Considering the circumstances?
[14:12] Sebastian
M-My leg!
[14:14] Sebastian
Save me! Can't you hear me calling for help?!
[14:17] Sebastian
Why are you all just standing around?!
[14:20] Arthur
You're right. They can't hear you.
[14:23] Arthur
Which is why you should pay attention,
while you're still conscious.
[14:28] Sebastian
You can't possibly believe you'll get
away with this! I'm the royal family's—
[14:31] Arthur
You should consider...
[14:35] Arthur
...the position that you're in.
[14:41] Sebastian
Please, mercy...
[14:53] Alice
Arthur!
[15:12] Arthur
M-My head...
[15:16] Grey
I went overboard.
[15:28] Grey
I was able to step outside the
flow of time temporarily, but...
[15:34] Grey
It came at a big cost.
[15:38] Grey
I suppose I need more training.
[15:44] Alice
Thank goodness! You're awake.
[15:47] Arthur
What happened after I passed out?
[15:51] Alice
Everyone was in a panic.
[16:00] Alice
The doctor said you should wake up soon, but...
[16:06] Alice
It wasn't soon enough for me.
[16:10] Grey
I worried her again.
[16:18] Alice
Are you sure you're okay?
[16:21] Arthur
I'm fine. And I could use a change of pace.
[16:26] Arthur
This.
[16:27] Alice
Oh, I bet Eleanor would like that.
[16:31] Alice
There, you should be the one to give it to her.
[16:35] Alice
Is there anything you want for yourself?
I could get you something.
[16:39] Arthur
Are you sure? It's all so expensive.
[16:42] Grey
And Reynolds may have just lost his job.
[16:45] Alice
What are you saying? I've got
a job of my own, you know.
[16:50] Arthur
You do?
[16:56] Grey
It seems like Alice's products
are popular with the nobles,
[16:59] Grey
and can be found on the shelves of
general shops throughout the city.
[17:02] Grey
Apparently, Tabitha helped
her make the connections.
[17:06] Alice
Reynolds never comes shopping
with me, so this is a huge help!
[17:10] Grey
Maybe because you buy too much.
[17:16] Rey
Like I said, it isn't an issue of money.
[17:20] Rey
My son could have been killed!
[17:25] Arthur
What's going on?
[17:26] Adam/Durden
Shh!
[17:31] Arthur
Excuse me...
[17:33] Rey
Arthur! Are you okay?
[17:36] Arthur
I'm okay. Ready to spar whenever you are, even.
[17:39] Conglite
Ah, there you are.
[17:42] Conglite
I'd like to offer my most heartfelt
apologies for what happened yesterday,
[17:45] Conglite
in place of His Majesty.
[17:49] Rey
The king apparently sees this as a
[17:51] Rey
show of good faith, in wanting to
make up for the "little incident."
[17:55] Arthur
Little?
[18:05] Grey
The move here is to play the
part of a humble victim.
[18:08] Arthur
Thank you so much for going out of the way.
[18:12] Coglite
Such a well-mannered boy. The two guards
who attacked you have been fired.
[18:19] Rey
They try and kill a child and the king gives
them a talking to, and lets them go.
[18:23] Coglite
Your son did defy the king, first, you realize.
[18:28] Rey
Only because—
[18:29] Coglite
The king also mentioned the
failing in your security service.
[18:35] Arthur
It's okay, Dad.
[18:37] Arthur
I went too far. And I'm not hurt or anything.
[18:41] Rey
If you say so.
[18:44] Arthur
Speaking of injuries, I'm curious
what happened to him.
[18:49] Arthur
I believe his leg was broken...
[18:52] Coglite
He was relieved of his position
and sent for treatment.
[18:55] Coglite
As soon as he woke, he claimed that
you were the one who injured him.
[19:00] Rey
That doesn't make any kind of sense!
[19:03] Coglite
Please, let me finish.
[19:06] Coglite
We've determined that the
two soldiers who attacked first
[19:09] Coglite
had their mana reflected towards him,
which disrupted his own spells.
[19:13] Coglite
The king is upset at this entire fiasco.
[19:17] Coglite
Which is why he is offering
this show of reconciliation.
[19:22] Coglite
Your son is apparently incredibly talented,
[19:25] Coglite
but you should really teach him
more in the way of manners.
[19:29] Coglite
Not everyone is as forgiving as our ruler.
[19:37] Rey
Apology accepted.
[19:43] Arthur
Dad?
[19:44] Rey
You're the one who was almost killed.
[19:46] Rey
Besides, no matter what you end up doing,
money is going to come in handy.
[19:52] Arthur
Thank you.
[19:54] Rey
Plus... that was a hell of an attack.
[20:06] Grey
This has reminded me, to a painful degree,
that I am still just a child in this world.
[20:13] Grey
If I want to defy the power of whole nations,
I'll need to make use of something comparable.
[21:11] Cynthia
I've been waiting, Arthur.

[00:03] Grey
Xyrus Academy.
[00:05] Grey
It's famous for having produced
scholars, entrepreneurs,
[00:08] Grey
royal guards, public leaders,
and military officers.
[00:15] Grey
A prestigious institution
[00:17] Grey
where all children who pursue magic
in this kingdom seek to learn.
[00:21] Grey
And now...
[00:23] Grey
here I am, encountering the
director who holds all authority
[00:26] Grey
at this incredibly well-accredited school.
[00:30] Cynthia
I'm pleased to finally meet you,
[00:32] Cynthia
Arthur Leywin.
[00:34] Cynthia
I'm curious about whether or
not Vincent was exaggerating.
[00:38] Cynthia
Let's take a look.
[00:40] Arthur
Okay.
[00:48] Cynthia
Very good. Then let's begin.
SIGN #11 The King's Decision.
[02:26] Cynthia
This child is shockingly resolute.
[02:30] Grey
I can sense an incredible power;
[02:33] Grey
the kind you would expect from the director
of the most famed magic school in the nation.
[02:38] Grey
I suppose if I show off a little,
it should prove that Vincent wasn't lying.
[02:43] Grey
First...
[02:45] Grey
I'll use wind element magic.
[02:52] Grey
How's that?
[02:56] Arthur
Wha—
[02:58] Grey
I'm still not getting as much firepower
with wind as I do with fire and water.
[03:03] Arthur
In that case...
[03:12] Arthur
She defended?!
[03:25] Grey
A wall of wind?
[03:35] Cynthia
I'm impressed.
[03:38] Cynthia
You might overestimate your strength a bit,
[03:42] Cynthia
but you definitely are remarkable
in both sorcery and combat skills.
[03:48] Cynthia
So, shall we finish?
[03:50] Cynthia
Try not to lose consciousness.
[04:00] Grey
The element of sound?!
[04:04] Grey
Is she some sort of unique sorcerer?!
[04:12] Cynthia
You pass.
[04:14] Cynthia
The state of your wind magic makes
me want to teach you personally.
[04:20] Cynthia
Not only that, but you can use
the earth element too, can't you?
[04:24] Cynthia
I trust there's even more than that?
[04:27] Grey
She's as sharp as I'd expect.
[04:29] Arthur
Well... there's water.
[04:32] Cynthia
Don't you have something you want to tell me?
[04:36] Cynthia
Considering you came all this
way to show me your power.
[04:40] Grey
She's seen right through me.
[04:42] Arthur
You're right.
[04:45] Arthur
I'm here because I need the influence
and authority that you possess.
[04:51] Arthur
I want to use them to protect my family.
[04:55] Arthur
If you're willing to share them with me,
I'll enroll at the academy,
[04:59] Arthur
and revere you as a teacher
whom I owe everything.
[05:03] Cynthia
I hope you realize even the Sapin royal family
hasn't tried such a blunt negotiation before.
[05:10] Cynthia
You must be pretty sure of yourself.
[05:12] Arthur
I am. I believe what I'm offering
is worth your while.
[05:16] Arthur
And I think you'll feel the same way.
[05:21] Arthur
That said, if I'm going to enroll,
[05:23] Arthur
I think it should be when I'm the
same age as the other children.
[05:26] Cynthia
That's three years from now.
[05:29] Cynthia
If your studies began now,
you'd be so much stronger.
[05:32] Cynthia
Why the hesitation?
[05:34] Arthur
Because I want to live my life to the fullest.
[05:38] Arthur
I want to become an adventurer,
and learn all about this world.
[05:42] Arthur
There'll be time for the academy after that.
[05:45] Cynthia
Well, it seems you've already decided, then.
[05:48] Cynthia
So, have you told your family yet?
[05:51] Arthur
No, I was going to after this.
[05:54] Cynthia
Fair enough.
[05:56] Cynthia
Once you've convinced them,
we'll complete the deal.
[06:01] Alice
No! Absolutely not! Inconceivable!
[06:06] Grey
Afterwards, I used Vincent as an intermediary
to tell Alice and Reynolds about my powers,
[06:12] Grey
and how I want to become an adventurer.
[06:16] Alice
We only just got him back! And now we're talking
about him doing something so dangerous?!
[06:16] Grey
I should have told them myself.
[06:21] Alice
No. There is no way. Over my dead body!
[06:21] Ellie
Don't be angry, Mommy! Don't be angry!
[06:25] Reynolds
Alice, let's at least hear him out.
[06:29] Alice
I can't believe you'd say that, knowing
how much we've been through already!
[06:34] Alice
Don't you feel the same way?!
[06:39] Reynolds
Well, I've been thinking about it.
[06:41] Reynolds
What if Arthur went with someone to protect him?
[06:45] Alice
No way. Reynolds, you can't be
seriously considering this, can you?
[06:50] Alice
Our son is too young to be off on a journey!
[06:54] Arthur
It wouldn't be a journey.
I'd be returning home every few months,
[06:58] Arthur
and if you want, I can even make
it more frequent than that.
[07:03] Alice
You mean it?
[07:04] Arthur
I do. I promise.
[07:07] Eleanor
Big brother, you're leaving soon?
[07:11] Arthur
Not at all! Not for a while, still.
[07:15] Eleanor
Okay, then.
[07:16] Arthur
Mom, I don't intend on leaving right away.
[07:20] Arthur
I was looking forward to coming to home a lot.
[07:24] Alice
In that case...
[07:26] Arthur
But I want to see more of
the Dicathen Continent.
[07:30] Arthur
There's too much that I don't know.
[07:33] Arthur
And besides...
[07:35] Arthur
I want to feel the same things you
did when you were adventurers.
[07:43] Alice
That's your reason?
[07:45] Arthur
Yeah.
[07:46] Grey
Staying here simply to train would be dull.
[07:51] Grey
I wasn't willing to tell them about my
desire to use the techniques I've obtained
[07:54] Grey
to test how strong I am.
[07:56] Alice
You still haven't told us
about your different elements.
[08:00] Alice
Come on, Arthur. No more secrets.
[08:04] Arthur
Right.
[08:05] Grey
What Alice said struck me through the heart.
[08:08] Grey
If only I could truly share
everything with them...
[08:15] Reynolds
It's only natural that your mom worries.
[08:18] Reynolds
Danger goes hand-in-hand
with being an adventurer.
[08:21] Reynolds
Your mother might've interrupted me
before, but this is what I think:
[08:27] Reynolds
What if we sent Arthur out
with someone we can trust?
[08:33] Reynolds
So, is anyone up for the job?
[08:36] Adam
Sorry, but I have to pass.
[08:40] Adam
Babysitting isn't my thing.
[08:42] Adam
And I can picture Arthur killing
me in my sleep one night.
[08:46] Helen
I know what you mean.
You're rude enough to warrant it.
[08:50] Reynolds
True.
[08:52] Alice
She's right.
[08:54] Angela
Yeah. Plus, he's just plain unpleasant.
[08:57] Durden
At times, yeah.
[08:58] Adam
What the hell?!
[09:00] Helen
You're the one who said it!
[09:01] Arthur
I wouldn't do that.
[09:05] Reynolds
To be honest, it's not like there's
much I can offer in return.
[09:09] Reynolds
But if you do go with him,
I'll do whatever I can to repay you.
[09:12] Durden
Don't make it sound like that.
[09:14] Durden
Being able to watch out for Arthur as
he grows up would be great for us, too.
[09:19] Helen
Durden's right.
[09:20] ---
For sure.
[09:23] Jasmine
I volunteer.
[09:26] Angela
Jasmine? I thought you preferred
working alone even more than Adam?
[09:33] Jasmine
It's for Arthur's sake.
[09:35] Reynolds
I see. I was kind of hoping
it'd be Helen or Durden,
[09:42] Reynolds
but when I think about it, in terms of
combat skills, Jasmine might be the best choice.
[09:47] Reynolds
Durden is best suited
[09:49] Reynolds
to protecting a group with
spells that affect a large area.
[09:52] Helen
Protecting people really
isn't my strong suit, either.
[09:56] Alice
Jasmine, are you sure you don't mind?
[10:00] Adam
Looks like we've got a winner, then.
[10:03] Adam
When you consider she's an
augmenter who can use elements,
[10:07] Adam
and that she hit light orange last year,
[10:10] Adam
plus her wind magic skills, she really
does seem suited for the job.
[10:13] Durden
Agreed. I would've liked to
have gone along too, but...
[10:17] Rey
There's always next time, Durden.
[10:20] Durden
Thanks, Reynolds.
[10:22] Arthur
I'm grateful, and I look
forward to working with you.
[10:29] Rey
Well, that's one less thing to worry about.
[10:33] Ellie
Lilia!
[10:35] Ellie
No fair practicing on your own!
[10:38] Grey
It looks like Lilia is now capable of meditating
without me projecting mana for her.
[10:44] Ellie
No fair!
[10:45] Lilia
I know. I'm sorry.
[10:47] Grey
Eleanor will likely awaken at 7 or 8 years old.
[10:51] Grey
Assuming she has the perseverance
to keep working at it.
[10:55] Lilia
You wanna practice together, then?
[10:56] Ellie
Not today.
[10:58] Grey
That said, it might be better
for her to not awaken too young.
[11:02] Grey
I'd be worried if she started
drawing too much attention.
[11:05] Arthur
Dad, can I head over to the auction house?
[11:09] Arthur
I want to pick out a sword.
[11:10] Rey
Yeah, of course.
[11:13] Vincent
I see. You want a sword to use for the
adventurer's guild entrance exam.
[11:18] Vincent
Feel free to look around.
[11:20] Arthur
Thank you.
[11:21] Vincent
You've decided to become an adventurer, then?
[11:25] Arthur
Yes.
[11:36] Alice
Arthur is late.
[11:38] Alice
Should we go pick him up?
[11:40] Rey
He's very serious about the
choices he's making. Let's be patient.
[11:44] Ellie
Let's be patient, Mommy!
[11:47] Alice
You've got a point.
[11:54] Arthur
This is unbelievable. Such a huge selection
of swords, and I don't want any of them.
[12:01] Arthur
Not this one.
[12:03] Arthur
Or this.
[12:04] Grey
It may be because the majority of
soldiers in this world are augmenters.
[12:09] Grey
As a result, the majority of swords are
either two-handers or bigger one-handers.
[12:13] Grey
A sword I can use with this small body...
[12:18] Grey
...is proving elusive.
[12:20] Arthur
Sylvie?
[12:21] Arthur
Did you find something?
[12:26] Arthur
A staff? That's not what I'm looking for.
[12:31] Arthur
Fine.
[12:34] Arthur
This is heavy!
[12:36] Grey
The weight is too unbalanced
for it to be a staff.
[12:39] Grey
It feels more like a sword.
[12:45] Grey
Could it require the use of an element?
[12:50] Grey
I doubt it, but...
[12:53] Grey
It's worth trying.
[13:03] Arthur
No way.
[13:06] Arthur
This shouldn't be.
[13:16] Grey
What a beautiful sword.
[13:19] Grey
It's more striking than any weapon should be.
[13:25] Grey
It's still a bit too heavy to
make great use of, but...
[13:31] Arthur
Sorry about this, Mr. Helstea.
[13:42] Arthur
This sword...
[13:46] Grey
"Dawn's Ballad W.K. IV."
[13:51] Grey
What could that mean?
[13:57] Arthur
I'm okay. It's nothing.
[14:02] Grey
The weight and balance have changed.
[14:09] Grey
Not only that, but the handle and grip are
now a length perfectly suited to this body.
[14:16] Arthur
I know, Sylvie. You hit the jackpot.
[14:21] Grey
In my past life, any number of incredible
swords passed through my hands,
[14:24] Grey
yet never once did I find any of
them as perfect a fit as this one.
[14:36] Grey
This does remind me of a story I heard.
[14:40] Grey
There was once an expert craftsman who
made a scepter for a single individual,
[14:43] Grey
that practically became an extension of them.
[14:46] Grey
But that involved the owner
infusing it with mana.
[14:50] Grey
The idea of a weapon adjusting itself
to its wielder is unheard of.
[14:56] Grey
W.K. IV. Who could that be?
[15:00] Rey
Arthur, time to head home.
[15:02] Rey
Alice is at home making dinner.
[15:04] Arthur
One second!
[15:09] Arthur
I'll take this.
[15:11] Rey
So, you found one that you liked.
[15:14] Arthur
It's not as fancy as the other swords,
but I swung it around and took a liking to it.
[15:23] Rey
It's a little off-balance. Maybe the
craftsman tried to make it lighter.
[15:28] Rey
But that might be perfect for you, Arthur.
[15:31] Rey
What do you say, Vincent?
[15:33] Vincent
As long as Arthur's happy, I'm good.
[15:36] Arthur
Thank you.
[15:39] Vincent
What's that staff around your waist?
[15:42] Vincent
Huh...
[15:45] Arthur
Have to act normal.
[15:47] Arthur
I saw it on the floor. It felt sturdy and about the right weight when I picked it up,
[15:52] Arthur
so I was thinking about
using it during practice.
[15:54] Vincent
I didn't know we had something like that.
[15:57] Vincent
Jameson, can you check the inventory?
[16:00] Jameson
Oh, I think I remember that item.
[16:03] Jameson
Some old guy was yelling,
"There's no one fit to use it!" and dumped it on us.
[16:10] Jameson
We've had a few appraisers check it and
they all said it's just a sturdy, hard staff.
[16:17] Jameson
It seemed like a waste to toss
it out, so I kept it in here.
[16:21] Vincent
I see.
[16:23] Jameson
Should I have a higher ranked
appraiser check it out?
[16:26] Arthur
W-Well...
[16:27] Arthur
If it's valuable, then I'm sorry...
[16:30] Arthur
But I like how it feels,
and I was hoping to keep it.
[16:35] Arthur
Uncle Vincent.
[16:38] Vincent
You don't need to apologize!
[16:41] Vincent
It was just gathering dust anyway!
[16:43] Vincent
Take it with you!
[16:44] Arthur
Thanks, Uncle Vincent!
[16:48] Vincent
Come on! He called me uncle!
[16:51] Arthur
It worked!
[16:55] Grey
For a period after that,
[16:57] Grey
I spent a pleasant time with Alice,
Reynolds, Eleanor, and the Helstea family.
[17:07] Grey
But I was also preparing
to become an adventurer.
[17:15] Grey
It has now been nine years
since I came to this world.
[17:24] Everyone
Happy birthday, Arthur!
[17:27] Arthur
Thank you.
[17:32] Alice
You're already nine. I can't believe it!
[17:42] Vincent
Come on, now, Alice, save the
sentimentality for after the party.
[17:51] Vincent
Well, everyone, don't be shy! Eat your fill!
[18:05] Vincent
And now with dinner done,
it's time for the presents.
[18:10] Rey
First, something from us.
[18:14] Alice
Those gems on the top have been
enchanted with healing magic by me.
[18:19] Arthur
Thank you, Mom!
[18:22] Vincent
Next is ours.
[18:25] Vincent
Arthur, will you marry me?
[18:27] Arthur
No way.
[18:30] Tabitha
Don't tease the boy.
[18:32] Vincent
This one is for you, Arthur.
[18:35] Vincent
And this is for you, Alice.
[18:39] Tabitha
If Arthur's mana ever reaches a dangerously
low level, your ring will light up, Alice.
[18:48] Adam
This is from us.
[18:51] Adam
It's a scroll that can produce sounds.
[18:54] Adam
I'll be real with you.
It cost an arm and a leg—
[18:59] Adam
You use mana to leave a message on the scroll.
[19:03] Adam
When Alice receives it,
she can make one reply.
[19:07] Rey
That's great!
[19:09] Arthur
Thank you.
[19:11] Arthur
I'm so grateful for all
these wonderful presents.
[19:15] Arthur
I might be leaving tomorrow, but Mom, Dad,
Eleanor, Uncle Vincent, Auntie Tabitha,
[19:23] Arthur
Lilia, everyone in the Twinhorns...
[19:26] Arthur
I'll work hard to make sure you
don't have to worry about me.
[19:28] Rey
Well said, Arthur.
[19:30] Alice
Just be careful, okay?
[19:32] Alice
I don't care about you becoming
famous or making a bunch of money.
[19:36] Alice
I just want you to stay safe.
[19:40] Arthur
I know.
[19:44] Grey
Something I'd felt for a
while was confirmed today.
[19:48] Grey
In this current life, I have
family and friends who love me.
[19:53] Grey
I never want to lose the feeling
of security that gives me.
[19:56] Grey
I care about them more than anything else.
[20:00] Grey
And if it ever seems like I might lose them,
[20:02] Grey
I will fight with everything
I have in their defense.
[20:08] Grey
And for that... I need to become stronger.
[20:12] Grey
Stronger than when I was
a king in my past life.
[20:20] Rey
Looking good.
[20:22] Rey
You could pass for an S-Rank adventurer.
[20:25] Arthur
You really think so?
[20:26] Rey
You're a strong boy, but you
shouldn't let that make you cocky.
[20:31] Rey
Don't try to solve everything on your
own; remember to rely on Jasmine.
[20:35] Arthur
Okay.
[20:38] Alice
You don't have to worry. I'm fine.
[20:42] Rey
We'll all be fine.
[20:43] Ellie
You be a good girl too, okay, Sylvie?
[20:47] Alice
Well... get going.
[20:50] Alice
And don't forget to put your ring on.
[20:52] Arthur
Okay.
[20:53] Rey
Arthur, we're all rooting for you.
[20:57] Alice
Have a good trip.
[21:00] Arthur
I'll be back.
[21:11] Jasmine
Are you ready?
[21:15] Arthur
Yeah. Let's go.

[00:02] Mary
Welcome to the Xyrus branch
of the Adventurers Guild.
[00:06] Mary
Please state your business.
[00:09] Jasmine
He's here for a rank assessment.
SIGN #12 The King's Departure.
[01:45] Grey
Upon making the request,
I was taken to a separate room.
[01:49] Grey
From Jasmine's demeanor, I can
assume that this isn't a problem.
[01:53] Grey
I've been concealing my face in order to ensure
the royal family won't target my own, but...
[01:59] Grey
It seems to be having some
kind of effect already.
[02:03] Kaspian
Enter.
[02:04] Mary
I've brought the A-Class adventurer,
Jasmine Flamesworth.
[02:09] Mary
Her companion is here to have his rank assessed.
[02:13] Kaspian
Oh, thank you.
[02:16] Kaspian
It's nice to meet you.
[02:17] Kaspian
I'm chief of the Adventurers Guild's
Xyrus branch, Kaspian Bladeheart.
[02:25] Kaspian
Usually, before the practical exam,
[02:27] Kaspian
there's a written exam and confirmation
needed for your mana core,
[02:31] Kaspian
but considering who's recommended you...
[02:34] Kaspian
I think we can skip those formalities.
[02:37] Kaspian
Your father actually came by just
the other day, Miss Flamesworth.
[02:45] Kaspian
Now, given that registration doesn't
require your true identity...
[02:49] Kaspian
What should I call you?
[02:53] Arthur
Note, if you'd please.
[03:01] Grey
He's strong.
[03:03] Kaspian
Note. I see. In the musical sense.
[03:09] Kaspian
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Note.
[03:12] Kaspian
Now, on to the exam hall.
[03:17] Arthur
Jasmine, do you know the guild chief?
[03:21] Jasmine
In a sense.
[03:23] Jasmine
My father has connections with the
Adventurers Guild that run deep.
[03:33] Jasmine
Huh. Arthur, does your partner look different?
[03:36] Arthur
Yeah. I noticed just recently that
Sylvie can change her appearance a little.
[03:46] Mary
Here we are. This is the exam hall.
[04:16] Emily
Your use of mana and incantation
speed are commendable.
[04:20] Emily
But your defenses are lacking.
[04:22] Emily
Diane Whitehall, you are C-Class.
[04:25] Diane
Right!
[04:26] Jasmine
To be a C-Class conjurer at
that age is pretty promising.
[04:31] George
Next is Elijah Knight.
[04:33] George
Right this way.
[04:36] George
Actually, one second, please.
[04:41] George
After confirming,
[04:43] George
Elijah Knight will be a B-Class adventurer.
[04:48] Adventurer A
B-Class? Without even taking the exam?
[04:52] Adventurer B
That's crazy.
[04:54] Arthur
What do you think is going on?
[04:55] Jasmine
No idea.
[04:57] George
Next is Lucas Wykes. Step forward.
[05:02] Lucas
Finally...
[05:04] Lucas
Don't suppose I could skip the exam
and join A-Class, Madam Examiner?
[05:09] Emily
Lucas Wykes. 11 years old. Conjurer.
[05:14] Emily
At the light orange stage.
Elemental specialty is fire.
[05:18] Emily
Is this all correct?
[05:20] Jasmine
Light orange? But he's even
younger than the other examinee.
[05:25] Arthur
Those ears...
[05:36] Emily
We'll begin now.
[05:38] Lucas
Come forth, my guardian!
[06:05] Arthur
What a massive attack.
[06:07] Grey
But can he maintain control?
[06:20] Emily
This brat...
[06:36] Emily
Well done, Mr. Wykes.
[06:39] Emily
Your mana capacity and ability to use
advanced fire spells show potential.
[06:45] Emily
But—
[06:54] Lucas
He...
[06:55] Lucas
This exam doesn't count! An outsider interfered!
[06:59] George
Your exam was already over.
[07:01] George
Attempting a sneak attack despite
that is completely unacceptable!
[07:05] Emily
That's your greatest weakness,
I'd wager. B-Class seems right.
[07:12] Lucas
This isn't over, you hear me?!
My father will hear about this!
[07:17] George
Next, Note.
[07:20] Jasmine
Arthur... or rather, Note. Good luck.
[07:32] George
There's nothing at all in your file.
[07:35] George
Are you here for the exam
under extenuating—
[07:41] George
Wh-What the—
[07:42] Kaspian
Hold it right there.
[07:44] George
Chief?
[07:45] Kaspian
Step aside. I'll take care of this one.
[07:49] George
But sir, an AA-Class sorcerer such as yourself
administering an exam personally is unheard of.
[07:55] Kaspian
I'm not doubting your skills.
[07:58] Kaspian
I just happen to know his guarantor pretty well.
[08:03] Kaspian
You don't mind, do you, Note?
[08:06] Grey
The chief of Sapin's largest adventurer guild.
[08:10] Grey
Not only that, but he's an AA-Class adventurer.
[08:14] Grey
His defenses are flawless. I doubt this will be a typical practical exam.
[08:23] Kaspian
Let's begin.
[08:30] Mary
Congratulations!
[08:32] Mary
Starting today, you are registered
as a B-Class adventurer.
[08:36] Jasmine
You're officially an adventurer, now.
[08:42] George
Sir, please explain!
[08:43] Emily
So many B-Class adventurers
named in a single day...
[08:46] Emily
It's unheard of!
[08:48] George
And they're all children!
[08:51] Kaspian
Do the two of you remember what
happened six months ago here in Xyrus?
[08:57] Emily
Do you mean the meet and greet for
young people of all three races?
[09:03] Kaspian
In addition to that, the Kingdom of Sapin
[09:05] Kaspian
officially lifted the prohibition on
recognizing elf and dwarf adventurers.
[09:11] George
Wait, then those kids were elves? Or dwarves?
[09:16] Kaspian
Lucas Wykes is a half-elf that lives in Sapin.
[09:22] Kaspian
The specifics of his background
aren't known, but...
[09:26] Kaspian
I'd wager his mother is an elf slave.
[09:30] Kaspian
There have been rumors for a long time about
the Wykes' family's questionable methods
[09:34] Kaspian
for producing sorcerer children.
[09:35] Emily
Then what about Elijah Knight,
who we had no information on?
[09:39] George
Why did he get to skip the exam,
on top of being named B-Class?
[09:42] Kaspian
Knight has someone who can act
as a guarantor for his ability.
[09:47] Kaspian
Someone I'm afraid I am unable to overrule.
[09:51] Emily
Who could that be?
[09:52] Kaspian
There is apparently a human child in the
Darv Kingdom who was raised by dwarves.
[09:58] George
And that's Elijah?
[10:00] Kaspian
He was sent to become accustomed to humans,
as the first representative of the Darv Kingdom.
[10:06] Kaspian
That's my speculation, at least.
[10:08] Emily
For all this to happen so soon after allowing
additional adventurer registrants...
[10:12] Emily
I can only wonder what
will happen going forward.
[10:15] George
What about that masked augmenter
that you examined, Chief?
[10:20] Kaspian
We know even less about him
than Lucas and Elijah.
[10:25] Kaspian
To be honest, I have no idea who he might be.
[10:28] Kaspian
But I'm certain he wasn't
sent by the elves or dwarves.
[10:32] Kaspian
The fact that his guarantor belongs
to the Flamesworth family,
[10:36] Kaspian
wielders of the most powerful fire magic
in the kingdom, is very interesting.
[10:41] George
That's why his fire magic was so impressive.
[10:43] Kaspian
No, what I was really impressed
with was his skill with a sword.
[10:52] Kaspian
His movement was awkward, likely due
to the fact that he's still growing.
[10:58] Kaspian
I can only imagine how terrifying
he will be once he's fully grown.
[11:22] (Flashback) Kaspian
Don't be overconfident.
[11:28] Jasmine
Note.
[11:30] Jasmine
Are you okay? You were spacing out.
[11:36] Grey
My duel with Kaspian made something clear.
[11:40] Grey
I've grown too accustomed to this world.
[11:45] Grey
Too accustomed to the powers
this world affords me.
[11:47] Grey
I'm neglecting the diligence that brought
me strength in my past life as a result.
[11:55] Arthur
Sorry.
[12:00] Elijah
The way you stopped him...
[12:02] Elijah
was reckless.
[12:06] Elijah
But if you hadn't done something, I would have.
[12:10] Lucas
Do you two know each other?
[12:13] Lucas
Or was there some get-together for
the B-Classs that I wasn't told about?
[12:18] Arthur
We didn't feel like inviting someone
who breaks the rules, that's all.
[12:21] Lucas
Don't get full of yourself.
[12:24] Lucas
Even inside the same ranks,
there are different levels!
[12:27] Jasmine
Stop.
[12:28] Adventurer C
Are those the kids?
[12:30] Adventurer D
Are they really children?
[12:32] Adventurer E
They do look young.
[12:33] Adventurers
Impressive.
[12:34] Adventurers
Looks like the Kingdom of Sapin has a
promising new crop of adventurers.
[12:37] Elijah
We're drawing a lot of attention.
[12:39] Lucas
What a pain.
[12:42] Lucas
I won't let you pull that crap ever again!
[12:48] Jasmine
We should get going, too.
[12:50] Arthur
Sure. But where should we go?
[12:53] Jasmine
I've got a place in mind, actually.
[13:05] Arthur
Is this is a beast pasture?
[13:08] Arthur
It's more peaceful than I would've imagined.
[13:10] Jasmine
This area has already been thoroughly explored,
[13:13] Jasmine
so lower-class adventurers come here to train
or collect material they'll need for quests.
[13:19] Arthur
Then why are we here?
[13:22] Jasmine
Let's get going. We're a day out
from our actual destination.
[13:29] Grey
She's fast!
[13:31] Grey
I never underestimated her, but I'm caught
off guard by just how fast she is.
[13:35] Grey
I seem to have been wrong about
quite a few things today.
[13:42] Grey
He keeps getting faster!
[13:44] Grey
Is he trying to force my hand?
[13:51] Grey
In that case...
[13:53] Grey
After I finish this string of blocks,
[13:55] Grey
I'll use this spell!
[14:03] (Flashback) Kaspian
Don't be overconfident.
[14:05] Grey
Where did I make the wrong assumption?
[14:14] Jasmine
What was that?
[14:30] Jasmine
We need to run.
[14:32] Jasmine
That monster isn't native to this area.
[14:35] Jasmine
What's it doing here?
[14:42] Jasmine
They captured it alive, and then it escaped.
[14:44] Arthur
Why would they do that?
[14:49] Grey
It's going to catch us.
[15:09] Jasmine
Run, Arthur!
[15:24] Arthur
Jasmine!
[15:37] Jasmine
Thanks, Arthur.
[15:50] Jasmine
Not good!
[15:57] Grey
Not yet.
[16:02] Grey
Wait for the right moment.
[16:09] Jasmine
Arthur?
[16:10] Grey
I won't make the same mistake again.
[16:13] Grey/Arthur
I can not afford to.
I can not afford to.
[16:54] Jasmine
I guess you had it all figured out.
[16:59] Arthur
Owowowow!
[17:01] Arthur
What was that for?!
[17:02] Jasmine
I wish you'd look a little more
worried in situations like that.
[17:07] Jasmine
Though that might sound weird
coming from me...
[17:11] Grey
Could someone please tell me where
I made the wrong assumption?
[17:19] Jasmine
I became an adventurer to
get away from my family.
[17:25] Jasmine
The Flamesworths have produced
powerful sorcerers for generations.
[17:32] Jasmine
And I was always taught that fire
is the strongest of the elements,
[17:37] Jasmine
so I was proud to belong to that family.
[17:41] Jasmine
I think the fact that I awakened earlier
than any of my siblings is why my parents
[17:47] Jasmine
had such high expectations for me.
[17:50] Jasmine
And maybe that's why...
[17:53] Jasmine
When they realized I had no talent with
fire magic, they all started calling me
[17:59] Jasmine
a failure.
[18:01] Arthur
That doesn't make any sense!
[18:03] Arthur
I know that mana cores
have different power levels,
[18:06] Arthur
but there's no hierarchy of elements!
[18:08] Arthur
It's down to how well the caster uses them!
[18:16] Jasmine
Sorry! I've just never seen you
worked up like this, before.
[18:20] Jasmine
It was surprising to see you angry.
[18:25] Grey
I think the outburst was due to how much what
she described reminded me of my past life.
[18:31] Grey
Of how I was also called a failure.
[18:37] Arthur
But... it just doesn't make any sense.
[18:39] Jasmine
In the past, I've been scolded by the
Twinhorns for fighting like you did today.
[18:47] Jasmine
I didn't understand how to cooperate... or
how to convey to someone that you trust them.
[18:55] Jasmine
They taught me all of that.
[18:59] Jasmine
Meeting them is what changed me, bit by bit.
[19:03] Jasmine
Though they still get angry at me, occasionally.
[19:06] Jasmine
What about you?
[19:08] Arthur
I...
[19:17] Grey
Will I be able to change?
[19:21] Grey
Someone like me.
[19:24] (Flashback) Alice
Arthur.
[19:25] (Flashback) Reynolds
Arthur.
[19:26] (Flashback) Adam
Little Arthur.
[19:28] (Flashback) Tess
Art.
[19:29] (Flashback) Lilia
Arthur.
[19:30] (Flashback) Ellie
Big brother!
[19:34] Arthur
I can change.
[19:36] Arthur
I have to believe I can.
[19:39] Arthur
So that going forward, I'll
always be able to protect them.
[19:48] Tess
I was almost able to reach his hand...
[19:51] Tess
Well, not literally.
[19:53] Tess
And why is he traveling with a woman?!
[19:56] Tess
He seems to have a different
one with him every time I look!
[20:04] Viriion
That looked dangerous.
[20:06] Tess
G-Grandpa?! How long have you been there?
[20:09] Tess
I was just, uh...
[20:14] Tess
Sorry.
[20:17] Virion
If you're jealous that Arthur
is taking on a new challenge,
[20:22] Virion
why not start something yourself?
[20:26] Tess
Like what?
[20:27] Virion
Well, for example...
SIGN Two years later
[22:11] Customer A
You hear the rumors?
[22:13] Customer B
About the guy who's strong as hell?
[22:16] Customer B
It's gotta be a buncha nonsense.
[22:18] Customer A
Turns out, it's not. A friend of mine saw him.
[22:22] Customer A
He's supposed to be smaller than you'd think.
[22:24] Customer C
I've heard about this. He's traveling
with the Flamesworth girl, right?
[22:30] Customers
The Masked Swordsman!
[22:32] Jasmine
Come on, Note.
[22:34] Arthur
Okay, Jasmine.
[22:45] Grey
And now... it's time to set out.
