    8-11 / Accommodation for the Nine Schools Competition
[00:01] ---
    To celebrate Miyuki Shiba's
    triumph in Mirage Bat...
[00:04] ---
    ...and First High School's
    overall victory...
[00:07] ---
    Cheers!
[00:09] ---
    Cheers!
[00:15] ---
    The NSC will be over tomorrow, huh?
[00:19] ---
    I think Team Jumonji is a lock
    for the win tomorrow in Monolith Code.
[00:25] ---
    Um... where's Tatsuya?
[00:29] ---
    He's already gone to bed.
[00:31] ---
    He said he was tired out.
[00:33] ---
    No wonder, right?
[00:35] ---
    He was injured, too, after all.
[00:37] ---
    Can't blame him.
[00:39] ---
    I see.
[00:41] ---
    Of course he is.
[00:44] ---
    He's been coming up
    big for us all this time.
[00:49] ---
    Just the map data will do, right?
[00:51] ---
    If you know who the members are,
    could I have that data as well?
[01:02] ---
    Not enough?
[01:07] ---
    No,
[01:08] ---
    that's sufficient.
[01:18] ---
    Thank you very much.
[01:23] ---
    This is just insurance, right?
[01:26] ---
    Yes, it's insurance.
[02:02] ---
    Who was that?
[02:04] ---
    An operator from Public Safety.
[02:07] ---
    Although she insists that
    she's really a counselor.
[02:12] ---
    So a part-time operator, right?
[02:15] ---
    In terms of talent,
    I don't think there's an issue.
[02:19] ---
    Since a novice semi-professional is more likely to go by
    the book for top-secret missions than a jaded veteran,
[02:26] ---
    it feels safer to ask
    them to do side-jobs.
[02:29] ---
    Well, unethical though it may be,
[02:32] ---
    you know how they say
    that money talks.
[02:37] ---
    Maybe I should start charging you, too.
[04:14] ---
    What brings you here today?
[04:18] ---
    What can I say?
[04:19] ---
    I have an interest in him.
[04:22] ---
    Who do you mean?
[04:24] ---
    Tatsuya Shiba.
[04:27] ---
    The one you plucked from
    the Yotsubas three years ago...
[04:30] ---
    Miya's son.
[04:36] ---
    Surely it's no shocker
    that I know about him.
[04:39] ---
    Even if only temporarily, Miya and
    Maya were both students of mine.
[04:45] ---
    In that case, you should
    be well aware.
[04:47] ---
    That the Yotsubas haven't
    relinquished their claim to Tatsuya.
[04:51] ---
    Don't you find it a waste?
[04:54] ---
    What do you mean, a waste?
[04:56] ---
    Along with the scion
    of the Ichijo clan,
[05:00] ---
    he could become a leading asset
    in our country's magical forces.
[05:04] ---
    Don't you consider it a waste to consign
    such an elite talent as that to private bodyguard duties?
[05:12] ---
    Your Excellency, do you
    wish to weaken the Yotsubas?
[05:18] ---
    At this rate, the Yotsubas will
    become too powerful.
[05:22] ---
    They might even surpass
    the Ten Master Clans altogether.
[05:27] ---
    In terms of combat power,
[05:30] ---
    yes, the Yotsubas are head and
    shoulders above the other Master Clans.
[05:35] ---
    And that won't do.
[05:38] ---
    The Yotsubas are too focused on seeing magicians,
     including themselves, as weapons.
[05:43] ---
    It's true that magicians were
    initially developed as weapons...
[05:48] ---
    But as such, they'll eventually be
    ejected from the world of mankind.
[05:52] ---
    Your Excellency.
[05:54] ---
    Just as you are
    aware of our situation,
[05:57] ---
    I, too, have some knowledge of
    the situation on your side.
[06:01] ---
    In fact, I even believe that I know the reason
    why you're so concerned about Tatsuya.
[06:12] ---
    It's not a matter of "someday."
[06:15] ---
    Already, Tatsuya is one of
    our forces' invaluable assets.
[06:20] ---
    This may sound like
    nepotism on my part,
[06:24] ---
    but as a military asset, Tatsuya
    far outclasses Masaki Ichijo.
[06:29] ---
    In terms of point defense, Masaki
    Ichijo can become, on his own,
[06:32] ---
    an asset with the power of
    an armored regiment.
[06:36] ---
    However, Tatsuya, on his own, is
    an asset on the level of a strategic missile.
[06:41] ---
    His magic spells are strategic weapons that should be,
    and are, restricted by several layers of safety locks.
[06:47] ---
    It would be beyond cruel to ask him to take on
    the responsibility of controlling all that on his own.
[06:55] ---
    Who knew that Japan's
    Special Forces would show up?
[06:59] ---
    But right now our top priority
    should be to get rid of that brat.
[07:04] ---
    Tatsuya Shiba, was it?
[07:06] ---
    Just who is this kid?
[07:08] ---
    The thing is... We have
    no clue about his background.
[07:11] ---
    No info on his family members or
    any dependents that he might have.
[07:15] ---
    As for his personal data,
    we got zero hits...
[07:22] ---
    Who the hell is this guy?
[08:18] ---
    Hello, No-Head Dragon,
[08:20] ---
    and members of
    the East Japan Branch.
[08:25] ---
    Who are you?
[08:27] ---
    Thank you for that day at Fuji.
[08:32] ---
    I've come to return the favor.
[08:52] ---
    Where is he?
[08:53] ---
    No. 14, where's that coming from?
[09:17] ---
    No. 14, No. 16, kill him!
[09:20] ---
    Impossible, sir.
[09:22] ---
    Can't reach him.
[09:23] ---
    Don't talk back! Kill him!
[09:25] ---
    You really think I'd let them?
[09:34] ---
    Instead of ordering
    your tools around,
[09:36] ---
    why don't you try doing it yourself?
[09:48] ---
    It's futile.
[09:50] ---
    Right now, I'm the only one you can
    communicate with from that room.
[09:54] ---
    That's ridiculous!
    How the hell did you...?
[10:02] ---
    I've converged the radio waves.
[10:04] ---
    How I accomplished that
    is no concern of yours.
[10:13] ---
    Now then, let's get started.
[10:15] ---
    W-Wait! Hold on a second.
[10:17] ---
    What am I supposed to
    hold on for?
[10:19] ---
    W-We have no intention of
    interfering with the NSC any further!
[10:24] ---
    NSC will end tomorrow.
[10:26] ---
    Not only the NSC,
[10:28] ---
    but the No-Head Dragons will
    withdraw from Japan!
[10:32] ---
    And you have the authority
    to promise me such a thing?
[10:36] ---
    Douglas Huang?
[10:38] ---
    I'm the boss's adviser!
[10:40] ---
    He can't ignore what I have to say!
[10:43] ---
    If you really have that much influence, then
    surely you've seen the boss's face, right?
[10:49] ---
    I've been granted
    an audience with him, yes.
[10:52] ---
    What's your boss's name?
[10:59] ---
    James!
[11:00] ---
    Ah, so that was James Zhu, eh?
[11:04] ---
    Would you like to be next?
[11:06] ---
    Douglas Huang?
[11:08] ---
    Hold on a second.
[11:13] ---
    The boss's name is Richard Sun.
[11:17] ---
    And his public identity?
[11:23] ---
    Sun Gongming.
[11:32] ---
    Thank you for your cooperation.
[11:34] ---
    You believe me, then?
[11:36] ---
    Yes, without a doubt, you're an adviser of
    Richard Sun, the No-Head Dragon boss.
[11:49] ---
    But why?
[11:51] ---
    We didn't go so far as to take lives!
[11:54] ---
    We didn't kill anyone, remember?
[12:00] ---
    How many people you killed,
[12:03] ---
    or how many you let live,
[12:05] ---
    it doesn't matter to me.
[12:08] ---
    You people incurred my wrath...
[12:11] ---
    That's reason enough
[12:13] ---
    for you to meet your demise.
[12:17] ---
    You demon.
[12:19] ---
    I was finally able to
    unleash this demonic power
[12:24] ---
    because you drew out
    my one remaining emotion.
[12:30] ---
    Douglas Huang.
[12:32] ---
    Built as a weapon, the one
    emotion Tatsuya has left...
[12:38] ---
    His feelings for his
    younger sister, huh?
[12:42] ---
    Demonic power?
[12:45] ---
    This spell...
[12:46] ---
    don't tell me it's that spell from
    three years ago in Okinawa?
[12:50] ---
    Demon Right?

    8-12
    Main Event Monolith Code Semifinals
[13:18] ---
    Good work last night.
[13:20] ---
    No, I'm the one who should be apologizing
    to you for troubling you over a personal matter.
[13:25] ---
    Forgive me.
[13:27] ---
    It wasn't a personal matter.
[13:29] ---
    I got attacked, too.
[13:31] ---
    And last night, we were able to
    obtain crucial combat data.
[13:35] ---
    It's not often that we can get our
    hands on long-range sniping magic
[13:39] ---
    that was successful
    at such a distance.
[13:41] ---
    Both Internal Affairs and Public Safety were
    happier than expected with last night's souvenir.
[13:47] ---
    Since you did fulfill your mission,
    there's no need to worry
[13:51] ---
    just because it was
    somewhat personal in nature.
[13:55] ---
    It was merely intel on
    a crime syndicate leader.
[13:58] ---
    Did it really have that much value?
[14:00] ---
    The No-Head Dragons are
    Sorcery Booster suppliers.
[14:05] ---
    Sorcery Boosters...
[14:08] ---
    Those would be
    the magic-amplifying devices
[14:10] ---
    that have been spreading among criminal
    organizations the past few years?
[14:14] ---
    They're not anything that should be
    allowed to exist in this world.
[14:18] ---
    Do you have any idea what
    a Booster's core component is made of?
[14:23] ---
    No.
[14:28] ---
    A human brain, that's what.
[14:30] ---
    To be precise, a magician's cerebrum.
[14:33] ---
    Although we're an experimental unit
    that wields magic as weapons,
[14:37] ---
    and whose objective is to embed
    magicians into the military system,
[14:41] ---
    we have no intention of using
    magicians as literal components.
[14:46] ---
    That's why as far as
    Sorcery Boosters go,
[14:49] ---
    neither their manufacture
    nor use can ever be condoned.
[14:53] ---
    Emotional aspects aside,
[14:56] ---
    a booster that would expand a magician's
    capacity would be a military threat as well.
[15:02] ---
    The North American Intelligence
    Agency is of the same view,
[15:05] ---
    and I hear they were seeking
    Internal Affairs' cooperation.
[15:08] ---
    Mibu was extremely grateful, Tatsuya.
[15:11] ---
    No, I'm happy to have been of use.
[15:20] ---
    That's all we have to discuss.
[15:22] ---
    Sorry to keep you here.
[15:24] ---
    You should at least watch
    the final from the stands.
[15:29] ---
    I've received word
    from the clan meeting.
[15:32] ---
    Oh?
[15:34] ---
    You know how Ichijo was defeated
    by Tatsuya the day before yesterday?
[15:38] ---
    And?
[15:39] ---
    As magicians, the Ten Master Clans
    reign at the top in this country.
[15:44] ---
    Even if it's just high school
    students playing a game,
[15:47] ---
    they can't allow any result undermining
    the power of the Ten Master Clans...
[15:52] ---
    that's what they're saying.
[15:55] ---
    In other words,
[15:56] ---
    they're seeking a contest that would flaunt
    the Ten Master Clans' power, is that right?
[16:02] ---
    Seriously, this is so absurd.
[16:04] ---
    Even if it were just a branch,
[16:06] ---
    if only Tatsuya had the blood of
    the Ten Master Clans in his veins,
[16:09] ---
    he wouldn't be subjected
    to this third-rate farce...
[16:14] ---
    Leave it to me.
[16:18] ---
    So that's the Jumonji clan's "Phalanx..."
[16:58] ---
    He certainly was
    incredible, Jumonji...
[17:01] ---
    Yes.
[17:03] ---
    But that last attack...
[17:05] ---
    I don't think that's how
    he'd normally use Phalanx.
[17:10] ---
    The genuine Phalanx should be
    a more terrifying spell...
[17:14] ---
    That's the feeling I got.
[17:16] ---
    This concludes this year's National Magic
    High School Goodwill Magic Game Convention...
[17:59] ---
    That long ceremony finally came
    to an end, but it's not over yet, huh?
[18:17] ---
    It's been two days, Masaki Ichijo.
[18:20] ---
    Tatsuya Shiba, huh?
[18:23] ---
    How's your hearing?
[18:24] ---
    Not to worry, and you have no
    business worrying about me, anyway.
[18:29] ---
    I guess that's true.
[18:36] ---
    Shiba?
[18:37] ---
    Are you brother and sister?
[18:40] ---
    You never realized that till now, then?
[18:45] ---
    So Brother and I didn't look like
    siblings to you, Mr. Ichijo.
[18:50] ---
    Huh? No... Uh...
[18:52] ---
    Yes.
[18:53] ---
    You'll just be in the way
    if you plant yourself there forever.
[18:57] ---
    Miyuki, why don't you
    go dance with Ichijo?
[19:18] ---
    Um...
[19:19] ---
    Tatsuya?
[19:23] ---
    What is it, Honoka?
[19:24] ---
    Um... Well...
[19:32] ---
    Sir.
[19:34] ---
    At times like these,
    the man must take the lead.
[19:41] ---
    Sir?
[19:43] ---
    There's no need to ponder so hard.
[19:48] ---
    Honoka?
[19:49] ---
    Yes?
[19:53] ---
    Shall we dance?
[19:56] ---
    With pleasure!
[20:37] ---
    Chairman?
[20:39] ---
    Shiba, come with me a second.
[20:46] ---
    Shiba,
[20:47] ---
    you're a member of
    the Ten Master Clans, right?
[20:51] ---
    No.
[20:52] ---
    I'm not from the Ten Master Clans.
[20:56] ---
    Is that right?
[20:57] ---
    Then as per the clan meeting,
[21:00] ---
    I'm going to advise you as the magician who's
    serving as assistant head of the Jumonji family.
[21:05] ---
    Shiba, you should join
    the Ten Master Clans.
[21:11] ---
    Let's see...
[21:13] ---
    For example,
[21:14] ---
    how about Saegusa?
[21:16] ---
    How about...?
[21:19] ---
    By any chance, are you
    suggesting her as my bride?
[21:22] ---
    That's right.
[21:24] ---
    Unlike you and the chairwoman,
    I am a mere high school student,
[21:29] ---
    and as such, talk of marriage and
    engagement are still far from my mind.
[21:32] ---
    Is that right?
[21:34] ---
    However, the fact that
    you defeated Masaki Ichijo,
[21:37] ---
    the next leader of the Ten Master Clans,
    carries far more weight than you think.
[21:48] ---
    You can't languish about
    too long, you know.
[21:56] ---
    Brother?
[21:59] ---
    What did Jumonji want with you?
[22:02] ---
    Uh, it was just...
[22:31] ---
    They've started playing the last song.
[22:34] ---
    Is that right?
[22:36] ---
    Brother, will you dance
    the last dance with me?
[22:44] ---
    All right, then should we
    go back to the hall?
[22:47] ---
    No, I don't want to waste this
    time that we have together...
