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