[00:26] ---
    Young Master!
[00:27] ---
    Welcome, Young Master!
[00:28] ---
    Young Master!
[00:30] ---
    Sorry to intrude.
[00:32] ---
    Where can I find Chief Ushiyama?
[00:35] ---
    You wanted to see me...
[00:37] ---
    ...Mister?
[00:39] ---
    Forgive me, Chief.
[00:41] ---
    For requesting an audience
    when you're so busy.
[00:43] ---
    Whoa... this won't do, you know.
[00:46] ---
    All of us here are your subordinates.
[00:49] ---
    If the great Mr. Silver himself acts
    too humbly around us, it'll set a bad example.
[00:56] ---
    It's an honor for us all
    to be able to work under you.
[01:01] ---
    There'd be no Taurus Silver
    if it wasn't for you, Mr. Taurus...
[01:04] ---
    ...the head of this facility.
[01:08] ---
    Without your technical
    prowess, Mr. Ushiyama,
[01:10] ---
    the Loop Cast System would
    never have become a reality.
[01:13] ---
    Hey, enough of this.
[01:16] ---
    Never mind that. Why don't
    we talk business now?
[01:19] ---
    Okay, Mr. Ushiyama. As for
    today's prototype... this is it.
[01:24] ---
    Would this be...
[01:27] ---
    ...a flying device, by any chance?
[01:32] ---
    Yes.
[01:33] ---
    I took the hardware
    mock-up that you built,
[01:36] ---
    and programmed a Sustained Gravity Control
    Type Magic Spell activation sequence into it.
[01:41] ---
    Tetsu, how many T-7 models
    do we have on hand?
[01:44] ---
    That would be ten, sir!
[01:47] ---
    You idiot!
[01:48] ---
    Why the hell didn't you
    replenish the stash?
[01:50] ---
    Bring over all we have!
[01:52] ---
    Yes, sir!
[01:53] ---
    We're talking about a Flying Spell!
[01:54] ---
    The history of modern
    magic is about to change!
[03:34] ---
    All systems go.
[03:37] ---
    Start the experiment.
[03:39] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:49] ---
    Lift-off confirmed.
[03:51] ---
    No spike in ground contact
    pressure due to the reaction force.
[03:56] ---
    Margin of error for upward acceleration
    rate is within acceptable parameters.
[03:59] ---
    CAD operation is stable.
[04:03] ---
    Upward acceleration rate decreasing...
[04:05] ---
    Zero.
[04:07] ---
    Now ascending at a constant speed.
[04:09] ---
    Upward acceleration rate now negative.
[04:12] ---
    Upward acceleration rate, zero.
[04:15] ---
    He's come to a stop.
[04:17] ---
    Horizontal acceleration detected!
[04:21] ---
    Keep going.
[04:25] ---
    He moved...
[04:27] ---
    He's flying...
[04:28] ---
    Acceleration stopped.
[04:30] ---
    He's moving horizontally
    at 1 meter/second.
[04:33] ---
    Tester One to Observation Deck.
[04:35] ---
    At this time, I'm walking
    through the air... No...
[04:39] ---
    I'm flying across the sky. I'm free!
[04:50] ---
    We did it!
[04:51] ---
    It's a success!
[04:53] ---
    Congratulations,
[04:54] ---
    Young Master.
[04:56] ---
    Thank you very much.
[05:01] ---
    You guys, are you all morons, or what?
[05:05] ---
    Starting a game of tag
    in mid-air? Really?
[05:07] ---
    No way can you use Sustained
    Gravity Type Magic for that long.
[05:12] ---
    Just as I thought,
[05:13] ---
    the successive processing of the activation
    sequence would be too stressful if we left it like this.
[05:19] ---
    Well, sure. Compared to you
    and our princess here,
[05:21] ---
    the average magician has a scant
    amount of Psions at his disposal.
[05:26] ---
    We'll have to make the CAD's automatic
    Psion absorption scheme more efficient...
[05:31] ---
    That, I'll figure out on my end.
[05:34] ---
    If we can get the hardware
    to do more of the processing,
[05:36] ---
    it should take some of the load off.
[05:38] ---
    Actually,
[05:40] ---
    I was planning to consult you
    on that very thing.
[05:44] ---
    Well, now...
[05:45] ---
    What an honor!
[05:58] ---
    Well, well, Ms. Miyuki...
[06:01] ---
    It's certainly been a while.
[06:05] ---
    It's been a long time, Mr. Aoki.
[06:07] ---
    And Father... You look well.
[06:10] ---
    Yes.
[06:12] ---
    Mr. Aoki... I'm not
    the only one here, you know.
[06:17] ---
    If I may, Young Miss, being that
    I am the Yotsuba family's butler,
[06:23] ---
    I can't be expected to bow
    my head to a mere bodyguard.
[06:27] ---
    After all, there is
    such a thing as order.
[06:30] ---
    He is my brother!
[06:32] ---
    Forgive me for saying so,
[06:33] ---
    but everyone in the Yotsuba household
    wishes you to succeed as the next head.
[06:39] ---
    You are on quite a different level
    than that mere escort standing there.
[06:45] ---
    Well, now, Mr. Aoki...
[06:47] ---
    Perhaps it's rude of me to interrupt,
[06:50] ---
    but those are quite serious
    claims you're making.
[06:54] ---
    What you just said...
[06:55] ---
    don't you think you're being far too
    inappropriate towards the other candidates?
[07:01] ---
    Or has my aunt already
    named her successor?
[07:06] ---
    Ms. Maya has yet to
    voice her intentions.
[07:09] ---
    I am astonished.
[07:11] ---
    You, the fourth-highest ranked
    member of the Yotsuba household...
[07:15] ---
    Am I to take it that you've just planted speculation
    into the head of a candidate for succession?
[07:20] ---
    Now... who would you say was
    being disruptive, I wonder?
[07:26] ---
    It's not speculation.
[07:28] ---
    We are all on the same page,
    so we can relate to one another.
[07:32] ---
    Though surely a heartless, bogus magician
    like yourself can't hope to grasp that.
[07:45] ---
    This heartless, bogus magician you speak of
    was created by my mother, Miya Shiba,
[07:50] ---
    the elder sister of Maya Yotsuba,
    the current head of the Yotsuba family.
[07:55] ---
    The former Miya Yotsuba, that is.
[08:05] ---
    By calling me bogus,
[08:07] ---
    you're also insulting the current head of
    the Yotsuba family, as well as her sister.
[08:13] ---
    Tatsuya, that's enough.
[08:16] ---
    You shouldn't speak ill of your mother.
[08:19] ---
    Not that your hatred of your
    mother isn't totally unwarranted...
[08:29] ---
    Tatsuya...
[08:31] ---
    Dad, you've got it all wrong.
[08:35] ---
    I don't hate Mom at all.
[08:38] ---
    I-Is that right?
[08:41] ---
    I don't have a heart
    that's capable of hatred.
[08:45] ---
    All that I have left is...
[08:49] ---
    Good morning!
[08:50] ---
    We heard the news,
    Shiba! That's awesome!
[08:53] ---
    Good luck, Shiba!
[08:54] ---
    They made you an engineer?
    Show them what you've got!
[08:59] ---
    Word really travels fast, huh?
[09:01] ---
    You're right about that.
[09:03] ---
    After all, they only
    just made the decision.
[09:05] ---
    Now that you mention it,
[09:06] ---
    aren't they making the official announcement
    during today's Launch Ceremony?
[09:10] ---
    That would be fifth period, right?
[09:12] ---
    You'll be taking part, too,
    won't you, Tatsuya?
[09:14] ---
    Yeah...
[09:15] ---
    You're the only
    Course 2 student, right?
[09:17] ---
    Those Course 1 guys... I hear
    they're totally pissed off about this!
[09:22] ---
    Yeah, but the athletes are
    all Course 1 students...
[09:25] ---
    Well, it can't be helped.
[09:27] ---
    Jealousy isn't based on reason, after all.
[09:29] ---
    Oh, you'll be fine.
[09:30] ---
    Unlike recruitment week,
[09:32] ---
    they won't be hurling magic at you.

    And now, please give First High's
    finest a nice round of applause.
[10:48] ---
    I'm Shiba of the technical staff.
[10:50] ---
    Aside from fine-tuning CADs,
[10:52] ---
    I'll be involved in creating training
    regimens and providing strategic support.
[10:57] ---
    I'd rather have a girl for my engineer!
[11:00] ---
    Makes no difference to me.
    As long as he does his job right, that is.
[11:04] ---
    Look here, Eimi!
    You're being rude, too, Subaru!
[11:07] ---
    Tatsuya's skills are
    professional-grade, you know!
[11:10] ---
    Oh? You're on
    a first-name basis, then?
[11:13] ---
    What is he, your boyfriend?
[11:15] ---
    O-Of course it's not like that...
[11:18] ---
    Right, Shizuku?
[11:20] ---
    Yes. I call him by his first name, too.
[11:23] ---
    Shizuku calls him by
    his first name, too?
[11:25] ---
    Who are those two
    to your brother, anyway?
[11:28] ---
    Honoka and Shizuku are
    friends of my brother's.
[11:31] ---
    Friends?
[11:32] ---
    That's right, friends.
[11:34] ---
    Something's fishy...
[11:35] ---
    They're his friends.
[11:40] ---
    I'd like to get this meeting
    started, everybody...

[13:09] ---
    Who's there?
[13:27] ---
    Tatsuya!
[13:28] ---
    Get a hold of yourself, Mikihiko.
[13:30] ---
    I'm not getting into it
    with you here and now.
[13:34] ---
    My bad, Tatsuya.
[13:36] ---
    That was never my intention.
[13:38] ---
    Not a problem.
[13:40] ---
    In the first place, Mizuki's the one to blame
    for disturbing a spell-caster's composure.
[13:45] ---
    I'm to blame?
[13:47] ---
    No, it's not her fault.
[13:49] ---
    It was because of my inexperience.
[13:52] ---
    Thanks, Tatsuya.
    Thanks to you...
[13:55] ---
    ...I avoided injuring Ms. Shibata.
[13:58] ---
    Even if I hadn't stepped in,
    you wouldn't have hurt her.
[14:02] ---
    Anyway, that was one of
    the Ancient Magic spells,
[14:05] ---
    Spirit Magic, wasn't it?
[14:10] ---
    I guess it's too late
    to try and hide it now.
[14:13] ---
    Just like you said, Tatsuya, I was using
    Water Spirits to practice my Summoning Magic.
[14:19] ---
    Water Spirits, huh?
[14:22] ---
    What did they look like
    to you, Mizuki?
[14:24] ---
    Let's see...
[14:25] ---
    There was blue, pale
    blue, and indigo blue...
[14:28] ---
    All I could see was orbs
    of light in shades of blue.
[14:31] ---
    You could see the different
    shades of color?
[14:34] ---
    Um...
[14:36] ---
    Uh...
[14:39] ---
    Um...
[14:43] ---
    If this is consensual,
    then I'm out of here.
[14:46] ---
    But if not, we have a problem.
[14:50] ---
    Sorry.
[14:53] ---
    No... I'm sorry.
[14:55] ---
    I don't see any reason
    for you to apologize, Mizuki.
[15:00] ---
    Really... I'm sorry.
[15:02] ---
    When I thought that you might actually possess
    the Crystal Eyes, I just couldn't help myself...
[15:08] ---
    Let's forget about this, Yoshida.
[15:10] ---
    You just startled me, that's all.
[15:13] ---
    But it did embarrass me, so please
    don't ever do that again, okay?
[15:18] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[15:20] ---
    Mikihiko, these Crystal Eyes...
    what are they?
[15:23] ---
    If you don't mind, could you
    explain them to me?
[15:27] ---
    Sure. It's not that
    big of a secret anyway.
[15:31] ---
    Those of us who manipulate Spirits
    identify each Spirit by color.
[15:37] ---
    But it's not as if we can
    really see them in a true sense.
[15:42] ---
    In other words, you're
    not seeing them visually,
[15:45] ---
    but interpreting their
    vibrations through magic?
[15:49] ---
    Great answer.
[15:51] ---
    So it varies by school,
    how the colors are perceived.
[15:54] ---
    For example, my school
    sees water as blue.
[15:57] ---
    Fire is red.
[15:58] ---
    So each color is applied
    uniformly in our minds.
[16:03] ---
    But Mizuki was able to see that.
[16:06] ---
    I'm guessing that you're perceiving
    the differences in each Water Spirit's power
[16:11] ---
    and nature as different
    shades of color.
[16:13] ---
    Such eyes as yours are known as "eyes that can
    see God," the "Crystal Eyes," in my school.
[16:22] ---
    Meaning that Mizuki is the kind of person
    you'd sell your souls to get your hands on, right?
[16:27] ---
    Right.
[16:29] ---
    A year ago, I would've
    been mesmerized,
[16:31] ---
    and I might have claimed
    her for myself by force.
[16:36] ---
    Hold up! Right now I don't have those
    kinds of desires or tendencies, okay?
[16:40] ---
    Still, that doesn't mean
[16:43] ---
    that I'm inclined to tell the other spell-casters
    that the "key" to a "divine" kind of magic exists.
[16:47] ---
    Good idea. I'm going to
    keep this to myself, as well.
[16:55] ---
    What are you talking about?

[17:17] ---
    Sorry, sorry.
[17:24] ---
    I'm so sorry, Tatsuya. For keeping you
    waiting so long on my account.
[17:28] ---
    It's fine, as I was
    informed of the situation.
[17:32] ---
    I hear that you had
    a family emergency?
[17:35] ---
    By the way, Tatsuya...
[17:37] ---
    What do you think of this?
[17:43] ---
    That truly becomes you.
[17:45] ---
    Really? Thank you!
[17:48] ---
    Although if you'd been more bashful
    complimenting me, that would've been perfect.
[17:55] ---
    I can see that you're stressed.
[17:58] ---
    Serving as a member of
    the Ten Master Clans...
[18:01] ---
    the Saegusa family, no less...
    You must have a lot on your mind.
[18:04] ---
    Now, then, let's get going.
[18:06] ---
    You'll be able to get
    some rest on the bus.
[18:13] ---
    Wait! Um...
[18:14] ---
    Tatsuya?
[18:17] ---
    You're misreading
    the situation, aren't you?
[18:26] ---
    Really! That Tatsuya...
[18:28] ---
    Just what kind of person
    does he think I am?
[18:31] ---
    And I was going to ask him
    to sit next to me, too!
[18:35] ---
    It was the right decision.
[18:38] ---
    I stated that it was the right decision
    to avoid falling prey to you, Chairwoman.
[18:43] ---
    Hey... that's harsh!
[18:44] ---
    Of course, Shiba is known to have
    the ability to nullify his opponent's magic.
[18:49] ---
    It's possible that your Bewitching Face
    might not have any effect on him.
[18:53] ---
    Oh... say what you want!
[18:57] ---
    Chairwoman?
[18:58] ---
    So you're not feeling well, then?
[19:00] ---
    Hanzo...
[19:02] ---
    Um... actually, it's not as if I...
[19:05] ---
    Not wanting the rest of us to worry...
[19:07] ---
    That thoughtfulness of yours is
    to be respected, I know,
[19:11] ---
    but I wouldn't want you to push
    yourself to the breaking point...
[19:18] ---
    Vice Chairman Hattori!
[19:19] ---
    What are you looking at?
[19:21] ---
    N-Nothing in particular!
[19:23] ---
    I just... thought the chairwoman
    might need a blanket...
[19:28] ---
    Then be my guest.
[19:33] ---
    What do those guys
    think they're doing?
[19:37] ---
    Kanon?
[19:39] ---
    Yes?
[19:40] ---
    It shouldn't take us more than
    two hours, tops, to reach our lodgings.
[19:43] ---
    Why can't you even wait that long?
[19:45] ---
    Oh, but that's pretty harsh of you!
[19:47] ---
    Of course I can wait that long!
[19:49] ---
    Even still...
[19:50] ---
    I was looking forward to going on
    a bus trip with Kei today!
[19:54] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[19:55] ---
    And besides, isn't it perfectly natural
    to want to be with your fiancé?
[19:58] ---
    First of all, why should the technical
    staff have to take another bus?
[20:01] ---
    This bus is nowhere near full...
[20:04] ---
    There was no reason to split us up!
[20:06] ---
    Kanon, knock it off.
[20:07] ---
    But... but...
[20:11] ---
    Um...
[20:12] ---
    Miyuki, would you like some tea?
[20:15] ---
    Thank you, Honoka. But I'm sorry.
[20:18] ---
    I'm really not that thirsty yet.
[20:21] ---
    After all, I wasn't forced to stand outside
    in this heat like my brother was.
[20:28] ---
    Right.
[20:31] ---
    Why'd you have to go and
    remind her about her brother?
[20:34] ---
    That one was beyond my control!
[20:37] ---
    I'm sure there was no need
    to make him wait outside.
[20:41] ---
    Why did Brother have to suffer so...?
[20:46] ---
    Hey, but Miyuki,
[20:48] ---
    I think that's what makes
    your brother such a great guy.
[20:51] ---
    No one would complain if
    they had to wait inside the bus,
[20:55] ---
    but seeing a job to the end
    without slacking off in the least,
[20:58] ---
    even if it's something tedious
    like taking attendance...
[21:01] ---
    Not many people can do that.
[21:03] ---
    Right.
[21:04] ---
    I think your brother's
    a totally awesome guy, Miyuki.
[21:09] ---
    You're right.
[21:11] ---
    Really, my brother can be kind to
    a fault in the strangest ways.
[21:15] ---
    All right!
[21:38] ---
    Look out!
