**[00:08] Emma**
All right.
**[00:09] Emma**
We both paid our enrollment
fees, so that means...
**[00:14] Noir**
I guess our new lives here at the
Hero Academy are about to begin.
**[00:18] Emma**
Yeah!
**[00:23] Emma**
Noir, you need to bow!
**[00:24] Noir**
Huh?
**[00:25] Noir**
R-Right.
**[00:31] Noir**
Is she a student, too?
**[00:33] Emma**
You don't remember?
**[00:36] Emma**
She was there during the exams.
Maria Fianna Albert.
**[00:42] Emma**
She's the daughter of
the famous Duke Albert.
**[00:46] Noir**
A duke... So she's one of
the highest-ranking nobles.
**[00:50] Noir**
* I'll sneak a peek with my*
* Discerning Eye to see what she's like.*
**[01:00] Emma**
Noir? Is something wrong?
**[01:03] Noir**
There's...
**[01:05] Noir**
There's a curse on her.
**[01:07] Noir**
A curse that will cause her to
die on her sixteenth birthday.

**[02:58] Noir**
A-Alice... You sure like to be close.
**[03:02] Alice**
Well, today's your first day of school.
**[03:07] Alice**
I know you'll do wonderfully
at the Hero Academy.
**[03:10] Alice**
I don't care if I have to cough up blood!
I'm going to get into that school next year!
**[03:14] Noir**
Th-There'll be no need to
cough up blood, but thanks.
**[03:19] Alice**
Here, Brother Dearest.
**[03:22] Noir**
A-Alice?
**[03:24] Alice**
I feel that if I let you go,
you'll go somewhere far away.
**[03:29] Noir**
I'm just going to school.
**[03:32] Dad**
Good morning, my elite academy student!
**[03:34] Dad**
It's time... for...
**[03:44] Dad**
What's a father to do about this?!
**[03:57] Emma**
Morning, Noir!
**[03:59] Noir**
Morning, Emma.
**[04:01] Noir**
You seem chipper this morning.
**[04:02] Emma**
Well, it's our first day of school!
**[04:04] Emma**
My job as a librarian was whatever,
but I'm going to do my best with this!
**[04:08] Noir**
Yeah, we're in the same S Class.
**[04:12] Emma**
So, uh... Shall we do our morning greeting?
**[04:16] Noir**
S-Sure.
**[04:31] Emma**
This is to help stockpile your LP, too... right?
***SIGN*** Noir Stardia
**[04:38] ---**
Good morning.
**[04:44] Emma**
I-I'm kinda nervous.
**[04:47] Noir**
Yeah...
**[04:49] Noir**
* We have to wear these badges that show*
* our ranks just for the first day of school.*
**[04:53] Noir**
* Although the school says*
* your status doesn't matter...*
**[05:03] Noir and Emma**
G-Good morning.
***SIGN*** The guy's a baronet.
***SIGN*** So he's a low-class noble.
***SIGN*** Guess we can ignore him.
**[05:12] Allen**
Nice to meet you!
**[05:14] Allen**
I'm Allen, the eldest son
of the Milanos family.
**[05:17] Allen**
I'm sure you've heard of the Milanos family.
We are trusted advisers to the king.
**[05:21] Emma**
H-Hello...
**[05:23] Hjorth**
I'm Hjorth from the Boyle family!
**[05:26] Hjorth**
Sweet! You're totally my type!
**[05:28] Kent**
I'm Kent Proix!
**[05:30] Kent**
My family ranks as the fourth-richest family!
***SIGN*** She's beautiful.
***SIGN*** How lovely.
***SIGN*** Totally different from that guy.
***SIGN*** They're huge...
**[05:38] Lenore**
Everyone thinks I defeated the Dead Reaper,
**[05:42] Lenore**
so don't even think about
casually talking to me.
**[05:44] Noir**
S-Sure.
**[05:47] Noir**
* Baronets are just commoners*
* who served the kingdom*
**[05:50] Noir**
*and were allowed to enter noble society.*
**[05:53] Noir**
*Most of the nobles don't accept us.*
**[05:58] Glasses**
It's nice to meet you.
I'm from the Siphon family...
**[06:03] Glasses**
Whoops. I guess my glasses were fogged up.
**[06:11] Maria**
Hello, everyone.
**[06:17] Maria**
It's quite warm today, isn't it, Amane?
**[06:19] Amane**
Yes. It's rather nice.
**[06:22] Noir**
* Miss Maria is someone*
* completely beyond my reach.*
**[06:29] Maria**
Oh!
**[06:31] Maria**
It's a pleasure to meet you, Noir Stardia.
**[06:34] Noir**
Huh?
**[06:37] Hjorth**
L-Lady Maria spoke to him?
**[06:39] Kent**
Why? He's just a baronet!
**[06:42] Maria**
I'm honored to meet you.
**[06:44] Maria**
I do hope that you'll be kind.
**[06:48] Noir**
L-Likewise...
**[06:50] Maria**
Good day to you, too, Emma Brightness.
**[06:53] Emma**
G-G-Good day!
**[06:55] Noir**
When did you become friends with Miss Maria?
**[06:57] Emma**
What? That's my line!
**[07:00] Noir**
Huh?
**[07:02] Noir**
*What's going on?*
**[07:04] Noir**
* Miss Maria doesn't seem*
* like a bad person, but...*
**[07:08] Noir**
* I wonder why she has a curse*
* that'll kill her at sixteen...*
**[07:14] Maria**
Let's talk some other time. Do excuse us.
**[07:18] Amane**
Pardon. Please let us through.
**[07:22] Glasses**
Hey, maybe I misjudged you!
**[07:24] Glasses**
I didn't know you knew Lady Maria.
**[07:27] Glasses**
I'm from the Siphon family. My—
**[07:28] Noir**
Not interested.
**[07:31] Glasses**
But I'm from the Siphon family...
**[07:41] Elna**
I was a mercenary before I was a teacher,
from when I was 7 until I was 24.
**[07:49] Elna**
The name's Elna Stongs.
**[07:51] Elna**
If any of you want me to whip
you into shape, let me know.
**[07:54] Elna**
I'll see you through to the end.
**[08:00] Elna**
Though I'm not letting any of you
leave until I'm satisfied.
**[08:07] Noir**
*She's a teacher? Are we going to be okay?*
**[08:11] Elna**
Outside the royal capital,
**[08:13] Elna**
there are monsters, bandits,
and villains everywhere.
**[08:17] Elna**
Depending on your luck, you could
be gone in an instant in this world.
**[08:20] Elna**
So... we'll be doing some
self-defense training today.
**[08:24] Elna**
Let's see...
**[08:28] Elna**
Noir Stardia. Step forward.
**[08:30] Noir**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[08:33] Elna**
Come at me with that sword
as if you intend to kill me.
**[08:39] Noir**
Huh? But what if I...
**[08:41] Elna**
Don't worry. You won't even
be able to scratch me.
**[08:46] Noir**
* She's so confident.*
* Is she really that strong?*

*Sh-She's insanely strong!*
**[08:58] Noir**
*I'm only level 35!*
**[09:01] Elna**
Well? What are you waiting for?
**[09:04] Noir**
*I won't be able to hold back!*
**[09:08] Noir**
* I have to give it my all and strike*
* with every ounce of my strength!*
**[09:22] Elna**
The Back Step. This is what
you'll be learning today.
**[09:27] Noir**
*Sh-She's so fast!*
**[09:29] Elna**
Now you'll be on defense.
Try doing what I just did.
**[09:35] Noir**
Th-That's probably not
as easy as you think...
**[09:38] Elna**
But it is. You just draw me in,
then take a step back.
**[09:42] Elna**
All right, here I come!
**[09:44] Noir**
*I-I'll be fine!*
**[09:46] Noir**
* I've fought in a hidden dungeon*
* plenty of times! I've got—*
**[09:50] ---**
*this?!*
**[09:57] Emma**
Noir!
**[09:59] Emma**
Are you okay, Noir?
**[10:01] Elna**
Don't worry. I'll use Heal
to fix him right up.
**[10:04] Elna**
Now we can try that one more time.
**[10:08] Kent**
Sh-She's no demon instructor...
**[10:09] Hjorth**
She's just a demon.
**[10:15] Elna**
Hmm, let's see...
**[10:18] Elna**
If you can successfully do a Back Step,
I'll give you a prize.
**[10:22] Noir**
A prize?
**[10:23] Elna**
If you manage to evade
even one of my attacks,
**[10:27] Elna**
I'll do something you're sure to enjoy.
**[10:36] Hjorth**
Fail, damn it!
**[10:37] Kent**
I'm gonna get that prize!
**[10:40] Guy**
I get to go next!
**[10:45] Lenore**
Boys are just so... pathetic.
**[10:48] Noir**
*I've had enough pain...*
**[10:51] Noir**
* Maybe I can use Get Creative*

**[11:03] Noir**
Hey, wai—
**[11:04] Elna**
Don't zone out on me!
**[11:20] Noir**
So the agreement was that if
I managed to use Back Step...
**[11:23] Noir**
I'd get a prize from you, right, Ms. Elna?
**[11:31] Emma**
*The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter*.
**[11:39] Noir**
*Ms. Elna.*
**[11:41] Noir**
* She has trained as a mercenary*
* ever since she was young.*
**[11:45] Noir**
*She's a cool, mature woman.*
**[11:49] Noir**
*And her prize happened to be...*
**[11:56] Elna**
Well, how do you like that?
**[11:58] Elna**
I got plenty of compliments about
my ass when I was a mercenary.
**[12:08] Allen**
I can't believe he's the only one
who did a successful Back Step!
**[12:11] Hjorth**
Hey, you actually get to enjoy that prize!
**[12:13] Kent**
At least sound happier!
**[12:17] Lenore**
You're all fools.
**[12:22] Emma**
Noir...
**[12:29] Elna**
Go on. Tell me how you feel.
**[12:32] Noir**
I-I can't breathe...
**[12:35] Elna**
What? You've got the hots for me?
**[12:38] Noir**
N-No, it's just... your ass is heav—
**[12:40] Elna**
Excuse me?!
**[12:45] Elna**
Right. Break and prize time is over.
**[12:50] Allen**
Hey, how was it?
**[12:52] Allen**
Was it soft? How'd it smell?
**[12:54] Kent**
I'm so jealous.
**[12:56] Hjorth**
I want to experience that, too...
**[12:59] Elna**
Can it over there.
**[13:04] Emma**
Noir, are you okay?!
**[13:06] Emma**
You're not going to suddenly
have a thing for butts, are you?
**[13:09] Noir**
O-Of course not...
**[13:11] Noir**
I definitely don't need to do that again.
**[13:13] Noir**
*Yet my LP went up 400.*
**[13:16] Noir**
*I might have to ask her to sit on me again.*
**[13:21] Elna**
All right, time for the next lesson.
**[13:24] Elna**
Divide up into pairs.
**[13:29] Emma**
Noir, let's pair up!
**[13:31] Noir**
Sure.
**[13:32] Elna**
Hey, you two.
**[13:34] Elna**
You two can't pair up.
**[13:36] Emma**
What? But why?
**[13:38] Elna**
You're dating, aren't you?
**[13:40] Elna**
That gives you an unfair advantage.
**[13:42] Noir**
No, we aren't dating, ma'am.
**[13:45] Elna**
What? Really?
**[13:47] Emma**
Correct. Not yet.
**[13:49] Emma**
For now, we're just very close friends
who've known each other forever.
**[13:53] Elna**
Well, I'm still going to say no.
**[13:56] Elna**
Maria and Amane,
you two can't pair up, either.
**[14:00] Elna**
You're Maria's attendant, aren't you?
**[14:03] Amane**
Yes...
**[14:05] Elna**
Glare at me all you want.
The answer's still no.
**[14:10] Allen**
In that case, Maria...
**[14:12] Allen**
Let us team up.
**[14:16] Allen**
Both of our fathers are dukes.
**[14:19] Allen**
Let us work together as
proud nobles of the same rank.
**[14:25] Maria**
I humbly decline.
**[14:27] Allen**
Wha—
**[14:29] Maria**
My fellow students, it is mere luck
that I was born the daughter of a duke.
**[14:34] Maria**
So I am very aware of how hard I must work
to be worthy of my status every day.
**[14:42] Maria**
I truly respect baronets because,
**[14:47] Maria**
despite the fact that they
were once commoners,
**[14:51] Maria**
they are warriors who put their lives
on the line for this kingdom.
**[15:00] Maria**
Instead of a higher noble who will
likely throw around their title,
**[15:06] Maria**
I'd rather be with a sincere baronet.
**[15:13] Maria**
Noir, may I have a round with you?
**[15:18] Noir**
I would be absolutely honored.
**[15:31] Amane**
Th-They're, uh...
**[15:33] Emma**
They're getting really close!
**[15:38] Alice**
Another new girl?!
**[15:42] ---**
S—
**[15:45] Alice**
Sorry.
**[15:52] Elna**
Right, then. Next, you'll be
practicing Passive Defense.
**[15:55] Elna**
Throw your partner around
a few times, then switch.
**[15:58] Noir**
You can throw me first.
**[16:00] Maria**
Yes, all right.
**[16:06] Noir**
*For the Passive Defense skill...*
***SIGN*** Skill Passive Defense

Please don't move, Noir.
**[16:38] Noir**
Huh?
**[16:39] Amane**
Maria?
**[16:40] Maria**
I-I'm all right. I was just a bit short of breath.
**[16:48] Amane**
I told you not to push yourself.
**[16:51] Noir**
*Wait, is this because of her curse?*
**[16:53] Elna**
Rest for a while.
**[16:55] Elna**
I'll come check on you
once the lesson is over.

* you'll gain 2,000 LP.*
**[17:53] Noir**
Like I could actually do that!
**[17:54] Noir**
And that's not enough LP anyway!
**[17:56] Noir**
Damn it, my head hurts now!
**[18:00] Noir**
B-But I have the Headache
Immunity skill... So why...
**[18:04] Emma**
Noir, what's wrong? You look pale.
**[18:07] Noir**
Emma... Let's do...
**[18:09] Noir**
Let's do the morning greeting.
**[18:11] Emma**
Huh? Right here?!
Th-That's embarrassing, though...
**[18:14] Noir**
I can't hold back. Sorry!
**[18:25] Noir**
That calmed it down.
**[18:32] Elna**
You do realize we're in class right now?
**[18:38] Noir**
I-It was an emergency...
**[18:42] Elna**
Fifteen laps around the school!
You'd better get runnin', boy!
**[18:46] Noir**
Yes, ma'am!
**[18:57] Noir**
Hello, Lola.
**[18:59] Lola**
N-N-N-N-Noir?!
**[19:01] Lola**
What are you doing here at this hour?
**[19:02] Noir**
I started school today.
**[19:05] Lola**
You need to let me know ahead of time!
**[19:07] Lola**
Give me ten... no, five minutes!
**[19:11] Receptionist**
She's fixing her makeup.
**[19:12] Receptionist**
She went light on it today since
she didn't think you'd show up.
**[19:16] Noir**
I guess she did look a bit different.
**[19:19] Noir**
But she's pretty enough without any...
**[19:22] Emma**
Noir, let's ditch Cake Face and leave.
**[19:25] Noir**
I can't. She's in charge of me.
**[19:30] Emma**
Noir, you doofus.
**[19:35] Lola**
The Sixteenth Year Death Curse...
**[19:38] lola**
A powerful curse skill that brings death.
**[19:42] lola**
And you say a duke's daughter has it?
**[19:47] Emma**
People always think nobility
live such carefree lives.
**[19:51] Noir**
She may not show it, but she's
probably been through a lot.
**[19:57] Noir**
If we don't break the curse
in the next week, she'll...
**[20:03] Lola**
Oh, no...
**[20:05] Noir**
* I need 8,000 LP to remove*
* the skill with Editor.*
**[20:10] Noir**
*I won't be able to get that much in a week.*
**[20:14] Noir**
You know all about skills
and adventurers, Lola,
**[20:16] Noir**
so you're the only one I can count on.
**[20:19] Noir**
Isn't there anything we can do?
**[20:23] Lola**
I believe there is.
**[20:26] Lola**
If we find a cleric who can exorcise evil...
**[20:28] Noir**
A cleric?
**[20:30] Lola**
The cleric Luna. She's my friend,
and I trust her skills.
**[20:37] Lola**
She's so popular that her schedule
is full for the next three months.
**[20:42] Emma**
Noir, maybe she'll be able to help!
**[20:44] Noir**
Yeah! She sounds perfect.
**[20:46] Lola**
But she rarely takes on jobs
to remove curse-based skills.
**[20:51] Noir**
What? Why not?
**[20:53] Lola**
I don't know the details.
**[20:55] Lola**
There may be some reason behind it,
**[20:58] Lola**
but I'm her best friend,
and she won't even tell me.
**[21:01] Emma**
What should we do, Noir?
**[21:08] Noir**
* If I can use my skills to get rid of*
* whatever the cleric's issue is...*
**[21:12] Noir**
*If I don't do it, who will?*
**[21:16] Noir**
*She helped me out back there.*
**[21:26] Noir**
* This time, I'm going to*
* be the one who saves her.*
**[21:32] Noir**
Lola!
**[21:36] Noir**
Please introduce me to this cleric.
**[23:19] Noir**
Ms. Elna, are your shoulders bothering you?
**[23:21] Elna**
Yes. I wonder if I can find a gentleman
anywhere who'll rub my shoulders...
**[23:25] Noir**
I'll rub your shoulders if you'll sit on me again.
**[23:29] Elna**
All right... if you can satisfy me, that is.
**[23:36] Noir**
Get Creative and create
the Shoulder Rub skill!

How's that?
**[23:55] Noir**
Is this it? Is this the spot?
**[23:58] Elna**
Y-Yes! Right there!
**[24:05] Sign**
Meeting in progress, do not enter!
**[24:05] Elna**
You're too good! Harder!
**[24:09] Noir**
*After that, she sat on me a bunch,
and I gained a ton of LP.*
