Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:01] ---     So you didn't see     how it started, then? SIGN    First High School Extracurricular Activities Federation [00:04] ---     Right. All I saw was... [00:07] ---     Ms. Mibu of the kendo team and     Mr. Kirihara of the kenjutsu team arguing. [00:13] ---     Is that why you didn't     raise a hand at first? [00:17] ---     I thought that if they were     only going to end up with bruises, [00:19] ---     then they should settle     the score among themselves. [00:21] ---     After subduing Kirihara,     what did you do with him? [00:23] ---     As he was injured, I handed him     over to the Health Committee. [00:27] ---     And since he acknowledged     his own wrongdoing, [00:30] ---     I made the call that no further     measures were needed. [00:34] ---     I guess that's fine. [00:35] ---     The Disciplinary Committee has no intention of     sending this matter to the Correctional Committee. [00:41] ---     What do you say, Jyumonji? [00:45] ---     So this is the chairman of     the Extracurricular Activities Federation, [00:48] ---     in charge of all club activities... [00:51] ---     Katsuto Jyumonji. [00:54] ---     The heir apparent to the prestigious     Numbers clan, the Jyumonjis... [00:57] ---     bearing the number     “ten” in their last name. [01:00] ---     That thick chest, those broad shoulders, those     muscles that ripple visibly under his uniform. [01:05] ---     It's not just his physical body...     every atom of his being, [01:09] ---     the intensity of his presence...     all are phenomenal. [01:14] ---     He's imposing like a craggy rock. [01:17] ---     I appreciate your lenient ruling. [01:20] ---     He used a highly lethal spell. [01:24] ---     Normally, there would be     no escaping suspension. [01:27] ---     I'm sure he's aware of that himself. [01:30] ---     I'll counsel him to learn     from this mistake of his. [01:34] ---     I'm counting on you. [01:36] ---     But what about the kendo team? [01:38] ---     The moment she took up the gauntlet,     she was equally to blame. [01:41] ---     Let me confirm this one more time. [01:45] ---     Was Kirihara the only     one who used magic? [01:49] ---     That's correct. [01:51] ---     I see. Thank you for     your hard work. [01:54] ---     Excuse me. [02:04] ---     Sorry to keep you waiting so long. [02:07] ---     Don't be shy –     eat as much as you want. [02:09] ---     All right, I won't be shy! [02:10] ---     Thank you for the meal! [02:13] ---     So anyway, that second year named     Kirihara used a Rank B Lethal Spell, right? [02:18] ---     You're lucky you didn't get hurt. [02:21] ---     That spell has a restricted     effective range. [02:23] ---     It's no different than dealing with     the sharp blade of a sword. [02:26] ---     But you're saying that it's easy     to deal with a real sword... [02:30] ---     It's all right, Mizuki. There's nothing     to worry about when it comes to my brother. [02:34] ---     You sound really     comfortable with it, Miyuki. [02:37] ---     Yes. After all, there's no one     who can possibly defeat my brother. [02:41] ---     No hesitation at all there, I see! [02:44] ---     But the Sonic Blade releases     high-frequency waves, right? [02:48] ---     They say you can get as sick as a dog     unless you're wearing earplugs. [02:51] ---     Well, doesn't that just mean that     Brother's taijutsu skills are superlative? [02:56] ---     Nullifying magic sequences is     Brother's specialty. [03:00] ---     Brother, [03:01] ---     you used Cast Jamming, didn't you? [03:06] ---     I'm no match for you,     am I, Miyuki? [03:08] ---     Of course not. I can see     through anything you do, Brother. [03:15] ---     You know, that's not sibling banter. [03:17] ---     - You don't think so?     - You don't think so? [03:19] ---     Don't even think about calling out     this lovey-dovey brother and sister. [03:23] ---     Right, my mistake. [03:25] ---     I take exception to that insinuation! [03:28] ---     Oh, where's the harm? [03:30] ---     It's a fact that you and I are     bound by intense sibling love. [03:36] ---     Miyuki, don't get too     carried away, all right? [03:39] ---     There's at least one person here     who doesn't realize we're joking. [03:44] ---     Joking? [03:45] ---     Well, that's our Mizuki for you! [03:50] ---     By the way, didn't you just mention     Cast Jamming or something? [03:53] ---     Don't you need some kind of special     rock to do that? Anti-something? [03:58] ---     It's antinite, Erika. [04:00] ---     If I remember correctly,     it's extremely expensive. [04:04] ---     No, I don't have any. In the first place,     antinite is a military resource. [04:08] ---     It's not a matter of price; it's not something     that a civilian can get his hands on. [04:13] ---     But... [04:15] ---     I'd like to keep this     conversation off-the-record... [04:19] ---     To be precise, what I used was something     that applied the theories of Cast Jamming... [04:24] ---     ”Specific Magic Jamming.” [04:30] ---     Does such a type of magic exist? [04:33] ---     Probably not, but... [04:35] ---     Doesn't that mean that you've come up     with a new type of magic, in theory? [04:39] ---     I think that "stumbled upon it     by accident" is a more apt term. [04:43] ---     When you try to use two CADs at once,     the Psion waves interfere, [04:47] ---     and in most cases, the magic doesn't     activate. You all know that, right? [04:51] ---     Yeah, I even     experienced it firsthand. [04:53] ---     Who do you think you are? [04:54] ---     What did you say? [04:55] ---     Well, there's no way that     you have such high-tech skills! [04:58] ---     Now, now... [05:01] ---     And so, [05:03] ---     you launch a magic sequence     that causes one CAD to jam the other, [05:07] ---     and with the other CAD you launch an activation     sequence that has the opposite effect. [05:12] ---     The activation sequence is     reproduced and amplified, [05:14] ---     and Psion signals are released     as Non-systematic Magic. [05:18] ---     By doing so, you can, up to a point,     block an activation sequence of the same type. [05:24] ---     Are you serious? [05:28] ---     I understand the theory     behind it, more or less. [05:30] ---     But hey, why does it     have to be off-the-record? [05:33] ---     If you patented it, I bet     you'd rake in the profits! [05:36] ---     For one thing, this technique     still hasn't been perfected. [05:40] ---     The bigger issue is the fact that     magic can be blocked without antinite. [05:46] ---     Where's the problem in that? [05:48] ---     You dummy! Of course     it's a huge problem! [05:51] ---     If an easily-acquired technique     to nullify magic spells were to spread, [05:54] ---     this society would be     shaken to its foundations. [05:58] ---     Antinite isn't yet a realistic threat     because its output is so low. [06:03] ---     Until a method to counter it is     discovered, I can't go public with this. [06:08] ---     That's amazing... To think that     you've thought it through this far. [06:12] ---     I think you're     over-analyzing a bit, Brother. [06:15] ---     After all, reading your opponent's activation sequence     during launch isn't something that just anybody can do. [06:22] ---     But is that what makes you     who you are, Brother? [06:25] ---     Are you implying that     I'm an indecisive wimp? [06:30] ---     I don't know. [06:31] ---     What do you think, Erika? [06:33] ---     Who knows? As for me, I might     want to ask Mizuki's opinion! [06:39] ---     I think... uh... Let's see... [06:43] ---     4-9-2095 / Fourth day of the new member invitation week [06:52] ---     This is the student council. A brawl has     broken out in Gymnasium No. 1. [06:56] ---     All available Disciplinary Committee     officers are asked to head to the scene. [06:59] ---     This is Shiba, first year. Understood. [07:26] ---     That's... [07:30] ---     Tatsuya, [07:31] ---     you got another     committee meeting today? [07:33] ---     Isn't recruitment week over? [07:35] ---     Yeah. I'm off-duty today. Looks like     I'm finally getting some downtime. [07:38] ---     You sure were front and     center in all that activity. [07:40] ---     You're famous now, Tatsuya. They're     calling you the mysterious first year [07:44] ---     who took out all those magic-oriented     club regulars without using magic yourself. [07:49] ---     What do you mean, mysterious? [07:53] ---     Miyuki... [07:57] ---     I'm so sorry, Brother. [07:59] ---     Making you wait just for me... [08:02] ---     It was student council business,     right? Don't worry about it. [08:08] ---     Shiba? [08:12] ---     You're Ms. Mibu, right? [08:16] ---     I'm Sayaka Mibu.     In Class E, the same as you. [08:21] ---     Thanks for the other day.     I'd like to thank you properly... [08:25] ---     Would you mind hanging out     with me for a bit now? [08:30] ---     I can't do that now. [08:32] ---     But in fifteen minutes, yes. [08:37] ---     Um, then I'll be waiting     for you at the cafe! SIGN    STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE [08:45] ---     All right, I'll be reading in the library. [08:48] ---     But aren't you going to     meet Ms. Mibu? [08:52] ---     Miyuki? [08:54] ---     It's not like we're going to     have a long chat. [08:56] ---     She's probably just going to     ask me to join the kendo team. [09:00] ---     Do you really think that's all? [09:03] ---     I have a feeling that     it might be something else. [09:06] ---     Not for any particular reason. [09:08] ---     I'm uneasy. [09:10] ---     Although I'm overjoyed that     you've gained such renown... [09:15] ---     If they get even an inkling of your      true powers, people will swarm [09:19] ---     about you in great numbers,     with only their own selfish interests in mind. [09:23] ---     Please be careful. [09:28] ---     Don't worry. Whatever     happens, I'll be fine. [09:32] ---     That's exactly what I'm worried about! [09:36] ---     I'll be fine. I won't get     reckless, no matter what. [09:40] ---     Please promise me, Brother. [09:44] ---     Fine. [09:49] ---     Sorry to keep you waiting. [09:50] ---     Oh, Shiba! [09:55] ---     Uh, once again, thank you very much     for what you did last week. [10:00] ---     I was just doing my job. [10:04] ---     It only got resolved peacefully because you defused     the brawl without injuring anyone, Shiba. [10:11] ---     Although I did hurt Kirihara... [10:14] ---     But Kirihara and I crossed swords     fully prepared to sustain injury, after all. [10:19] ---     And yet, there are a lot of people who want to     make a big deal out of such a trivial matter. [10:24] ---     Disciplinary Committee officers...     so they can score points for themselves. [10:28] ---     Well, I'm a member of     that committee myself, so... [10:32] ---     S-Sorry! I didn't mean it     that way, I swear! [10:35] ---     Sure, I can't stand those people, but... [10:38] ---     Wait... [10:41] ---     Hey, Shiba, are you a bully? [10:46] ---     So what did you want to     talk to me about? [10:49] ---     I'll be blunt. [10:52] ---     Shiba, will you join     the kendo team? [10:55] ---     I appreciate the offer, but I decline. [10:57] ---     Would you mind     telling me your reason? [11:00] ---     Actually, I'd like to hear     the reason you're recruiting me. [11:06] ---     At Magic High School, magic grades     are given precedence over all. [11:10] ---     But don't you think it's wrong to be     defined in all respects by just magic? [11:15] ---     Please go on. [11:17] ---     Course 2 students can't receive     practical skills training. [11:21] ---     But being discriminated against in class     is something we have to live with. [11:24] ---     Because that's only     a matter of us lacking talent. [11:28] ---     I can't stomach the thought of my     sword being held in contempt [11:31] ---     just because I'm not good at magic. [11:34] ---     Being ignored is unbearable. [11:36] ---     I won't let them deny all I have     to offer just on the basis of magic! [11:41] ---     Ms. Mibu? [11:43] ---     That's why we, the non-magic-oriented     clubs, have decided to unite. [11:48] ---     Sometime this year, we're going to     form an organization [11:50] ---     separate from the Extracurricular Activities Federation,      and present our argument to the school. [11:55] ---     That we're not all about magic. [11:58] ---     Towards that end, we'd like     your cooperation, Shiba. [12:02] ---     I see... [12:03] ---     Are you mocking me? [12:05] ---     That wasn't my intention at all. [12:07] ---     My own misunderstanding just     gave me a chuckle, that's all. [12:10] ---     I thought that you were     just a beautiful kendo girl, [12:14] ---     so you can see I have no eye. [12:16] ---     Beautiful girl... [12:17] ---     Ms. Mibu... [12:19] ---     Wh-What is it? [12:21] ---     You're going to present your     argument to the school. [12:23] ---     What are you going to     do after that? SIGN    Enrollment Part IV SIGN    STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE [12:33] ---     Tatsuya? [12:34] ---     Is it true that you verbally abused     the second year, Mibu, in the cafe yesterday? [12:40] ---     Since you are a refined     young lady yourself, [12:43] ---     I don't think you should be batting around     vulgar phrases like “verbal abuse.” [12:48] ---     Thanks! You're the only one who treats me     like a refined young lady, Tatsuya. [12:54] ---     Is that right? [12:55] ---     Not treating his own girlfriend as a lady...     apparently, your boyfriend isn't much of a gentleman. [13:01] ---     That's not true! Shu is... [13:06] ---     Why aren't you saying anything? [13:09] ---     Should I make some kind of comment? [13:15] ---     So is it true that you verbally     abused Mibu of the kendo team? [13:21] ---     That's not the least bit true. [13:23] ---     Is that so? [13:24] ---     I have witnesses who observed Mibu     blushing red and looking embarrassed. [13:35] ---     Brother? [13:36] ---     What in the world were you doing? [13:39] ---     Magic? [13:41] ---     Your Interference Power must be     unusually potent, Miyuki. [13:45] ---     Calm down, Miyuki.     I'll explain everything to you. [13:50] ---     Forgive me... [13:54] ---     About Ms. Mibu... [13:57] ---     It seems that the Disciplinary Committee's     activities have earned the students' animosity. [14:01] ---     What do you mean? [14:04] ---     Actually... [14:10] ---     Trying to score points, huh? [14:13] ---     Mibu's mistaken about that. [14:15] ---     The Disciplinary Committee is     just an honorary post, [14:17] ---     and isn't subject to evaluation. [14:20] ---     But it's also a fact that the Disciplinary Committee     wields considerable power within the school. [14:26] ---     Some will see you as     misusing your authority. [14:29] ---     Well, but there is someone who's     been manipulating that impression... [14:35] ---     Do you know that person's identity? [14:38] ---     No, no, it's just a rumor. [14:41] ---     If we knew who it was, we'd     have stopped him already. [14:44] ---     I don't mean that. [14:46] ---     I'm talking about the people behind     whoever's doing the manipulation. [14:50] ---     Brother? [14:51] ---     For example... [14:53] ---     The anti-magic international     political organization, Blanche... [14:57] ---     What? [14:57] ---     How do you know that name? [14:59] ---     That's classified information... [15:01] ---     It would be impossible to keep     a lid on all sources of rumors. [15:05] ---     On the contrary, I think such     things should be fully disclosed. [15:08] ---     The government has been ineffectual     in its handling of this matter. [15:12] ---     I agree... [15:14] ---     Despite the fact that there's     an organization hostile to magic, [15:18] ---     they cover it up and refuse     to confront them head-on. [15:21] ---     That can't be helped, considering     your position, Chairwoman. [15:25] ---     This is a national institution, and the country is     doing all the restricting and hiding. [15:32] ---     Is that your way of consoling me? [15:34] ---     B-But Chairwoman, it was Shiba     who drove you to the brink. [15:38] ---     To drive someone to the brink and then follow through     on your own, you're quite the brilliant gigolo. [15:43] ---     And it looks like you've got     Mayumi tied around your finger! [15:46] ---     M-Mari! Don't say things like that! [15:51] ---     Gigolo... [15:53] ---     A brilliant one... [15:54] ---     Hey, calm down, Miyuki,     they're just joking. [15:59] ---     So Tatsuya. How are you     planning to deal with Mibu? [16:04] ---     I'm the one who's     waiting for her answer, [16:07] ---     so I'll decide after hearing it. [16:09] ---     I see. I'm counting on you. [16:12] ---     Fine, but at this point, I have no clue     what it is that I should be counted on for. [16:17] ---     Whatever you can manage...     that will be fine. [16:19] ---     You either have high hopes     for me, or none at all... [16:22] ---     That's quite ambiguous. [16:24] ---     I'll do whatever I can manage. SIGN    COUNSELING ROOM [16:33] ---     Come in. [16:35] ---     Excuse me. [16:37] ---     Sorry to call you in     on such short notice. [16:39] ---     So? Are you used to     high school life now? [16:43] ---     No. With so many unexpected     events popping up, [16:46] ---     I haven't been able to hit the books. [16:51] ---     What's the matter? [16:53] ---     According to the      modern-day dress code, [16:56] ---     I believe your outfit is     too provocative, Ms. Ono. [16:59] ---     I-I'm sorry. [17:01] ---     So why was I summoned here? [17:07] ---     I asked you to come here today     to ask for your cooperation in our work. [17:13] ---     At this school, in order to get a grasp     on the students' psychological tendencies, [17:17] ---     we have ten percent or so of     the first years receive ongoing counseling. [17:22] ---     In other words, you're saying     that I'm a guinea pig? [17:26] ---     If that's all there is to it, I'll be glad     to help, but what's your real purpose? [17:31] ---     I'm not that malicious     a woman, you know. [17:34] ---     Well, I do think I'm too     unique to be used as a sample. [17:37] ---     That's precisely why I'd like your help. [17:41] ---     Fine, then let's leave it at that. [17:45] ---     All right, then... Would you mind     if I asked you some questions? [17:48] ---     No, please go ahead. [17:55] ---     Thank you. That's all     I wanted to ask you today. [17:58] ---     Then please excuse me. [18:01] ---     By the way, this has no direct     bearing on your counseling, but... [18:06] ---     What is it? [18:08] ---     Is it true that Ms. Sayaka Mibu,     a second year, has asked you out? [18:15] ---     Where exactly did you     hear such a false rumor? [18:18] ---     So it's a false rumor? [18:20] ---     It is, but does that     inconvenience you somehow? [18:22] ---     No, it's nothing. [18:25] ---     Well, to be honest, I was hoping     to ask you to do something for me [18:29] ---     if you did have any     intention of dating her. [18:32] ---     I did say that it was groundless,     but where did you hear of it? [18:38] ---     I'm sorry, that's classified. [18:41] ---     All right, then I'll be leaving now. [18:46] ---     If Ms. Mibu ever causes you any     trouble, you can consult me anytime. [18:55] ---     Just because I'm a Course 2 student, I don't want     people to reject even my non-magical aspects. [19:00] ---     I... [19:02] ---     I don't want even my sword to be... [19:04] ---     Mibu, that sentiment is shared     by every other Course 2 student. [19:10] ---     We need his power, no matter what. [19:17] ---     Is it all right if I watch, too? [19:20] ---     Since it doesn't seem to be     something that you should ignore, [19:23] ---     I thought it would be better     to share this information. [19:29] ---     Cabinet Name, Blanche... open. [19:32] ---     The political organization engaging in anti-magic     activities whose name came up today? [19:38] ---     Although they claim to be     a grassroots movement, [19:41] ---     underneath it all, they're     bona fide terrorists. [19:43] ---     And there seems to be no question that these     guys are working behind the scenes at our school. [19:49] ---     In fact, during my council activities, [19:51] ---     I spotted a student who seemed to be working with     Egalite, Blanche's subordinate organization. [19:56] ---     You mean a Magic High School student,      at Magic High School? [20:01] ---     Even as they advocate     anti-magic policies, [20:06] ---     on the surface     they don't reject magic at all. [20:10] ---     Their slogan is "Eradication of Social     Discrimination by Magic." [20:15] ---     So what do they mean     by discrimination? [20:18] ---     The fact that someone's abilities and efforts     aren't reflected in their social status, perhaps? [20:25] ---     What Blanche sees as discrimination     is the gap between median income. [20:29] ---     But the reason that magicians'     median income is so high [20:32] ---     is because the high-income bracket includes     people with skills that are crucial to society. [20:38] ---     People who can't use magic... [20:40] ---     don't they know that using magic requires long     years of study and training, not just ability? [20:49] ---     No, they know that, all right. [20:52] ---     They know, but they don't say it. [20:53] ---     They keep their mouths shut     about anything inconvenient, [20:57] ---     and they deceive others, as well as themselves,     with their sweet-sounding concepts, such as equality. [21:02] ---     Then those Magic High students working     with Egalite... is that also because...? [21:08] ---     They don't want to forsake magic, but they can't stand     the thought of not appearing to be legitimate. [21:15] ---     They ignore the fact that those working     on the front lines also have a price to pay, [21:21] ---     and reject any evaluation     by magic as "discrimination." [21:25] ---     Well... not that I don't     understand that kind of weakness. [21:29] ---     I know that deep down inside,     I share that sentiment. [21:32] ---     That's not true! [21:33] ---     Brother, you have the kind of talent     that no one can emulate... [21:37] ---     it's just that you happen not to have     the same abilities as other people. [21:40] ---     You've put in far more effort than     anyone else, nobody can deny that! [21:45] ---     Right. Because I've got that "kind of     talent that no one else can emulate." [21:55] ---     And if that weren't the case, [21:57] ---     I might be clinging to this beautiful     ideal called "equality" myself... [22:02] ---     Even knowing full well that it's a lie. [22:06] ---     Those unable to use magic. [22:08] ---     Those with inferior magic skills. [22:10] ---     All right, then these instigators     who know everything... [22:13] ---     what's their true agenda? [22:16] ---     Behind them, there's a hidden force that's driven to turn     this country into a nation where magic has died out. [22:23] ---     Do you mean that the Anti-Magic faction is     trying to undermine this country's power? [22:29] ---     Probably. That's why they're willing     to stoop to atrocious acts like terrorism. [22:33] ---     So if this country is drained of     its power, who profits? [22:38] ---     It can't be... Someone's     lurking behind them...? [22:42] ---     Apparently so. [22:44] ---     We can't stand by and do nothing,     but it's not something for you to worry about. [22:47] ---     But there's no way that the Ten     Master Clans will ignore them. [22:52] ---     Especially the Yotsuba family. [22:55] ---     Yotsuba. [22:57] ---     If our aunt were to intervene, we'd...     We'd have to go back to being Yotsubas. [23:04] ---     You don't have to be afraid. [23:06] ---     If push comes to shove...     I'll take care of it. [23:10] ---     Brother... [23:13] ---     Miyuki, are you enjoying high school? [23:17] ---     Yes. [23:20] ---     I think you've found a couple of good     friends in Erika and Mizuki. [23:26] ---     No matter what their number, [23:27] ---     I won't let any of them     destroy this life of ours. SIGN    NEXT TIME SIGN    Enrollment Part V
