[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...

[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. 3 - Meeting the King Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate.

[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. 4 - Saved by the King Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate.

[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! 5 - The King's Test Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate.

[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.

[00:36] (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. 6 - The King's Training Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate.

[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. 7 - The King Says Goodbye Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate.

[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?
[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...

[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.

[19:46] 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!

[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. 10 - The King's Defiance Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate. Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:10] Arthur     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. 11 - The King's Decision Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate. Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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. 12 - The King’s Departure Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate. Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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.
