[00:02] ---
    Now, then, considering what happened yesterday,
[00:06] ---
    it looks like you'll need to go through dragon-slaying training.
[00:11] ---
    And so, why not start off with playing tag?
[00:15] ---
    Playing tag?
[00:17] ---
    I thought this was class,
    but it's playtime!
[00:20] ---
    If we're going to subjugate any dragons,
    it would be helpful if you were stricter with us.
[00:25] ---
    You people!
[00:26] ---
    Are you incapable
    of just sitting through class quietly?
[00:31] ---
    All right, then, people!
[00:33] ---
    Let's see you run to that lone pine tree.
[00:36] ---
    Without using magic,
    in under three minutes.
[00:39] ---
    Hey, don't underestimate us, okay?
[00:43] ---
    Now, then...
[00:44] ---
    Off you go.
[00:45] ---
    Huh!
[00:50] ---
    This is easy!
[00:52] ---
    Just what are they trying to do?
    The Demon King Academy...
[01:04] ---
    Now, then, be stunned.
    That is a dragon!
[02:44] ---
    15 - INSTITUTE OF THE GODS
[02:49] ---
    Wh-What is the meaning of this?
[02:53] ---
    Just yesterday, I discovered that this area
    was close to a dragon's nest.
[02:57] ---
    You can take part in simulations all you want,
    but it doesn't really work in actual combat.
[03:01] ---
    So why not cut to the chase
    and have them experience the threat of a dragon for real?
[03:07] ---
    And so!
[03:09] ---
    Today's class will be spent playing tag with a dragon!
[03:12] ---
    You are to evade that dragon,
    and make it to the lone pine tree!
[03:16] ---
    Now, now, don't worry.
[03:17] ---
    So long as this doesn't run out of sand, you can be
    revived no matter how many times you get killed!
[03:21] ---
    If you don't want to die, get back here
    within three minutes, and turn the timer over.
[03:28] ---
    Oh, but I must warn you...
[03:31] ---
    Don't get devoured.
[03:32] ---
    Dragons' digestive organs can melt your source.
[03:35] ---
    If you get eaten,
    you can never be resurrected.
[03:49] ---
    Underground, dragons use vibrations to hunt their prey.
[03:53] ---
    If you run silently,
    they can't sense your location.
[03:56] ---
    On the other hand, louder footsteps
    are one way to lure them out.
[04:16] ---
    Let me make that safe for you.
[04:19] ---
    Now then, let's start this game of tag
    in which all of your lives are at stake!
[04:32] ---
    Hmm, let's go.
[04:34] ---
    You don't really need to do this,
    do you, Anoshu?
[04:37] ---
    There's something I'd like to try out.
[04:48] ---
    Know your place.
[04:57] ---
    Just by glaring at it?
[04:59] ---
    Jeez, what's up with that?
[05:01] ---
    Show me the way to your nest.
[05:10] ---
    What's this? Have you found something intriguing, perhaps?
[05:14] ---
    We'll be back before class is over.
[05:25] ---
    Hey, would you wait a second?
[05:27] ---
    Where are we going?
[05:28] ---
    I mentioned it yesterday.
[05:30] ---
    Apparently, Everastanzetta is in the Underground World.
[05:35] ---
    I'm hearing a strange sound.
[05:37] ---
    It's a dragon cry.
[05:39] ---
    A dragon's vocal cords create
    a special magic field called the dragon domain.
[05:43] ---
    As the magical power is hidden,
    you can't transport yourself to it,
[05:47] ---
    nor can it be seen through magic.
[05:49] ---
    If there are people underground,
    they must be near a dragon's nest.
[05:58] ---
    It's not far off.
[06:07] ---
    What in the world is this?
[06:10] ---
    I did look into it 2,000 years ago,
[06:12] ---
    but this giant tunnel didn't exist then.
[06:14] ---
    It showed up after you were reincarnated, Anos?
[06:17] ---
    It was built, is more like it.
[06:20] ---
    By whom?
[06:21] ---
    Who knows?
    I have no idea.
[06:33] ---
    The residents' magical power is similar
    to those of humans and demons.
[06:36] ---
    Did the Underground World ancestors come from the surface?
[06:39] ---
    They very well may have. Though it's odd
    that no one above ground knows about it.
[06:44] ---
    Hey, I wonder if that place called Everastanzetta
    is around here, too.
[06:49] ---
    It would make our lives easier if we knew...
[06:53] ---
    You really seem to enjoy following people.
[06:56] ---
    Are you planning to initiate that
    Judgment Selection thing again?
[06:59] ---
    Unfortunately, fighting is forbidden
    in Gaelahesta due to a war-free pact.
[07:06] ---
    The only place where the Judgment Selection
    might be held here is Everastanzetta.
[07:12] ---
    We're heading over there now.
[07:14] ---
    Don't you think he's being a little too helpful?
[07:16] ---
    We're going to have to go.
[07:18] ---
    But are you sure?
    Didn't you call me a heretic?
[07:23] ---
    If you are indeed a heretic, then I cannot
    rob you of a chance to learn from the gods.
[07:29] ---
    Huh.
[07:34] ---
    Welcome to Everastanzetta,
    the Institute of the Gods.
[07:40] ---
    A ritual to take over the role of the lost god...
[07:43] ---
    To select a divine agent.
[07:48] ---
    That is what the Judgment Selection is about.
[07:53] ---
    That vacancy is yours to fill,
    Anos Voldigoad.
[08:07] ---
    This Selection Pledge Jewel
    is bestowed upon the Selected Eight,
[08:12] ---
    and they form a pact with their god
    by believing in him.
[08:17] ---
    Unlike yours, this one doesn't seem to be sparkling.
[08:20] ---
    Looks like you haven't truly formed a pact.
[08:24] ---
    You say that I was selected,
    but I've never even met a Selection God.
[08:28] ---
    Selection God is not what they were originally known as.
[08:32] ---
    The gods gain this title by choosing one of the Selected.
[08:37] ---
    Meaning that the god who chose me
    wasn't yet a Selection God at that time?
[08:42] ---
    Right, that god would become one
    only after choosing you.
[08:49] ---
    The god who dragged me into this judgment, eh?
[08:54] ---
    A god can be destroyed during the Judgment Selection.
[08:58] ---
    You don't care if order is actually lost instead?
[09:01] ---
    During the Judgment Selection, no matter
    what happens, divine order is never lost.
[09:06] ---
    So long as that Selection Pledge Jewel exists.
[09:10] ---
    I see... But I wouldn't want
    a divine proxy to be born.
[09:15] ---
    After all I went through
    to annihilate the order of destruction.
[09:18] ---
    Whether you desire it or not, as long
    as you've been selected, you cannot ignore it.
[09:24] ---
    Both your name and the title you've received,
    "Misfit," have been engraved on that Holy Seat.
[09:30] ---
    Hmm...
[09:31] ---
    How did this Underground World come into existence?
[09:34] ---
    I am not obliged to answer any questions
    unrelated to the Judgment Selection.
[09:39] ---
    Well, never mind.
[09:41] ---
    If this is a school, there must be
    a history book somewhere, at least.
[09:45] ---
    Come on.
[09:45] ---
    Come back here.
[09:47] ---
    In Everastanzetta, fighting is allowed
    except in this Holy Seat Hall.
[09:53] ---
    You've exposed your true face
    to the Selected here.
[09:57] ---
    At this moment,
    you're no more than the ultimate prey.
[10:06] ---
    You heretic...
[10:16] ---
    Students here?
[10:17] ---
    Probably. They seem to be deciphering the tablets.
[10:21] ---
    Half of it's written in Ancient Magic script.
[10:23] ---
    Can't tell what the other half is written in, huh?
[10:26] ---
    With this many tablets,
    I should be able to decipher them.
[10:30] ---
    Hmm... so this Underground World
    was created around 2,000 years ago...
[10:35] ---
    What?
[10:36] ---
    Its residents are known as the Children of Dragons,
    otherwise called Dragonids.
[10:40] ---
    H-Hey, hold up a second.
    You've already deciphered it?
[10:45] ---
    Children of Dragons?
[10:47] ---
    Their ancestors were born from dragons.
[10:50] ---
    Dragons consume sources.
[10:52] ---
    When a dragon consumes a massive amount of sources,
[10:55] ---
    they're converted into a single life inside the womb,
[10:57] ---
    and they then give birth to a Child of Dragons.
[11:00] ---
    The Child of Dragons has dragon powers,
    and possesses great might.
[11:04] ---
    Which makes those Children of Dragons' descendants
    the Draconids of the Underground World.
[11:10] ---
    The Underground World has a dome.
    The umbrella of the earth—in other words, the surface, eh?
[11:16] ---
    And Giordal, Kingdom of the Divine Dragon,
[11:19] ---
    Agatha, Kingdom of the Royal Dragon,
[11:21] ---
    and Gadeciola, Kingdom of the Supreme Dragon...
[11:24] ---
    These three are constantly at war with each other.
[11:26] ---
    But I'm not seeing it.
[11:28] ---
    Someone must have created this world.
[11:31] ---
    Anos...
[11:33] ---
    What's the matter?
[11:39] ---
    But this is—
[11:40] ---
    Misha, how did you know?
[11:42] ---
    I thought I could see it. Vaguely.
[11:45] ---
    Looks like different characters.
[11:47] ---
    Ancient script, eh?
[11:50] ---
    Script only known to the gods,
    but Militia once taught me how to read it.
[11:55] ---
    It started here in this castle, Everastanzetta.
[12:00] ---
    There, the nights are never ending,
    the emptiness eternal.
[12:03] ---
    Far away, in the Underground World,
    a divine castle was born...
[12:07] ---
    If only the night without
    a beginning could shine a gentle light.
[12:11] ---
    No sun rises above ground,
    and destruction never comes.
[12:15] ---
    Life is not created,
    and the world comes to a stop.
[12:18] ---
    Which matters more,
    order or humans?
[12:21] ---
    The answer is known to you.
[12:23] ---
    No one knows the answer but you...
[12:26] ---
    What does that mean, I wonder?
[12:28] ---
    Probably that the gods created
    this Underground World with that order.
[12:34] ---
    I thought I warned you not to move about freely.
[12:37] ---
    You foolish heretic.
[12:39] ---
    Who are you?
[12:41] ---
    My name is Gazel Apt Ageila.
[12:44] ---
    I am a Holy Knight of Giordal,
    Kingdom of the Divine Dragon,
[12:48] ---
    as well as one of the Selected Eight.
[12:51] ---
    Saint Gazel has announced himself...
[12:54] ---
    So is the Judgment Selection about to start?
[12:56] ---
    You heretic, who would mock the sacred Selection.
[13:02] ---
    Today, you will become acquainted
    with the power of the venerable gods.
[13:05] ---
    In accordance with the Pledge,
    I have come—
[13:08] ---
    If you need to chant, you won't be able
    to use Summoning Magic in front of me.
[13:18] ---
    Ah. Not even a scratch, I see?
[13:25] ---
    Hmm... so this means that as long as you have
    this Jewel, you can summon a god even after death?
[13:36] ---
    Be stunned, and hold her in awe...
[13:39] ---
    The Guardian God of Restoration who
    can revive even the dead, Nutra du Hiana!
[13:45] ---
    Why all the swagger over mere restoration?
[13:47] ---
    What the...
[13:49] ---
    Jirasd.
[13:56] ---
    Before the order of restoration,
    all attacks are neutralized!
[14:00] ---
    Now, then, fear the gods!
[14:11] ---
    What's wrong, my god?
[14:14] ---
    Forget her.
    Your god is busy right now.
[14:17] ---
    Shut up! Restore yourself, Nutra du Hiana!
[14:25] ---
    What the—
[14:26] ---
    What just happened? My god...
[14:29] ---
    Gagalia.
[14:32] ---
    That's a spell that enhances restoration of the body.
[14:35] ---
    Excessive restoration turns toxic.
[14:37] ---
    The Keeper tried to restrain her power,
[14:40] ---
    but thanks to your thoughtless order,
    she was eliminated instead.
[14:45] ---
    To think that a disciple of the gods
    would be ignorant of such a flaw.
[14:49] ---
    You scoundrel! Azept!
[14:53] ---
    So he can summon more than one god?
[14:56] ---
    But what an unusual summoning method.
[15:00] ---
    This is Possession Summoning.
[15:03] ---
    I had the God of Radiance, Giosselia,
    descend upon me,
[15:06] ---
    and I've claimed his Order of Light as my own!
[15:10] ---
    Presez.
[15:11] ---
    And this is Divine Tool Summon.
[15:14] ---
    My weapon, imbued with the Piercing God, Beheus...
    the Divine Spear Behetenos!
[15:21] ---
    My physical form is light!
    Nothing in this world is faster than light!
[15:25] ---
    This is the gods' Underground World war!
[15:31] ---
    What?
[15:32] ---
    Did you really think that if you traveled
    at the speed of light, you could flee me?
[15:39] ---
    Ridiculous...
[15:49] ---
    Now, then. Even if you destroy
    a god during the Judgment Selection,
[15:53] ---
    it has no effect on its order, correct?
[15:57] ---
    Destroy, did you say?
    As if such a thing could be done!
[16:00] ---
    A human could never destroy my Selection God!
[16:09] ---
    My divine power...
    proof of my sainthood...
[16:14] ---
    Stop it!
[16:18] ---
    This time, let me enlighten you.
[16:21] ---
    This is the Demon King's above ground war.
[16:24] ---
    Lord Gazel... has been defeated...
[16:27] ---
    A heretic, defeating a god?
[16:29] ---
    My god... answer me...
[16:31] ---
    My Selection God...
[16:33] ---
    Please answer me... My god...
[16:38] ---
    Your Selection Pledge Jewel.
[16:41] ---
    P-Please don't do this...
    M-My Judgment... isn't over!
[16:45] ---
    In the name of Arcana, the Goddess of Selection,
    I deliver my verdict.
[17:05] ---
    With the order of these three gods as my offering,
[17:08] ---
    in accordance with the Selection Judgment Pledge,
[17:11] ---
    I offer this gift to my goddess, Arcana.
[17:13] ---
    I hereby accept.
[17:15] ---
    Become one with me,
    order of the three Gods.
[17:21] ---
    I have received a divine message, Gazel.
[17:24] ---
    That I am to inherit your will,
    and your gods.
[17:29] ---
    Let us fight together.
[17:31] ---
    Impossible!
    Then what about my salvation?
[17:34] ---
    What about the life that I dedicated to the gods?
[17:37] ---
    Do you doubt the gods?
[17:40] ---
    Then in the name of the cardinal of Giordal,
    I hereby excommunicate you.
[17:48] ---
    All that you own belongs to your gods.
[17:51] ---
    It's only a matter of returning them, nothing more.
[17:54] ---
    Now, then, repent.
[17:59] ---
    Almighty Radiant Equis!
    I have sinned!
[18:05] ---
    F-For doubting you,
    and attempting to betray you...
[18:09] ---
    I ask for your forgiveness!
[18:16] ---
    Arcana.
[18:18] ---
    You are merciful. However...
[18:21] ---
    Once this ice has melted,
    he will surely try to go back to his gods.
[18:27] ---
    Therefore, it is my job to grant him his wish...
[18:34] ---
    O my goddess Arcana. I repent.
[18:39] ---
    I beg you to forgive me for robbing
    the Holy Knight Gazel of his guiding life.
[18:46] ---
    I forgive you.
    From here on in, follow the right path.
[18:51] ---
    As you wish, Almighty Radiance.
[18:55] ---
    What a farce.
[18:57] ---
    I don't expect a heretic to understand.
[19:00] ---
    He has been saved.
[19:03] ---
    Don't make me laugh, you fraudster.
[19:05] ---
    I have no qualms about engaging
    with you in a holy war right now.
[19:09] ---
    But the gods won't grant me that divine message.
[19:14] ---
    Quite the excuse.
    Speak the truth.
[19:17] ---
    That since Arcana can't defeat me at this time,
[19:20] ---
    you're going to power up by devouring other gods.
[19:23] ---
    One day, you will receive divine judgment.
[19:34] ---
    Even if you reincarnate him, nothing will change
    if his excommunication isn't reversed.
[19:38] ---
    He will be reborn as a different person.
    That will be his salvation.
[19:42] ---
    I see.
[19:44] ---
    Why did you select that Ahide fellow?
[19:47] ---
    He is a completely hopeless person, and I was a god.
[19:52] ---
    Why do people yearn so much to become a god?
[19:56] ---
    I don't know.
    They want power, I suppose?
[19:59] ---
    Let me ask you something.
    Why did you start questioning it?
[20:03] ---
    I have never once felt it was a blessing to be a god.
[20:10] ---
    For a god, you sure do say the most logical things.
[20:13] ---
    You should go back above ground.
[20:16] ---
    Oh? Why is that?
[20:18] ---
    I cannot tell you more.
[20:20] ---
    Because I'm the enemy?
[20:22] ---
    Yes.
[20:23] ---
    Then why would you warn me?
[20:25] ---
    Is it wrong to save an enemy?
[20:28] ---
    Whether you believe me or not,
    it's up to you.
[20:34] ---
    She must be plotting something.
[20:36] ---
    What do you think, Misha?
[20:38] ---
    The gods can't see emotion.
[20:41] ---
    But Arcana is a little different.
[20:43] ---
    Oh? Are you seeing something?
[20:46] ---
    A thirst that's completely dry.
[20:48] ---
    Like wandering across
    a waterless desert for all eternity.
[21:03] ---
    You came back at the perfect time.
[21:06] ---
    I was just about to end this class.
[21:09] ---
    People! You've all passed!
[21:12] ---
    If you keep this up, you might be able
    to subjugate those dragons sooner than I thought!
[21:17] ---
    I can't wait to get the better
    of the people in the palace!
[21:22] ---
    Anoshu. I've heard from Lord Xerceas.
[21:26] ---
    About the man with the ring?
[21:28] ---
    Yeah. He made contact again, he says.
[21:31] ---
    His familiar, a falcon,
    came to see him.
[21:33] ---
    Says he'll arrange for some dragons again...
[21:37] ---
    A-And of course he turned them down, he says!
[21:40] ---
    Is this that man's ring?
[21:41] ---
    Huh? What are you doing with—
[21:44] ---
    I mean, that's it for sure, but...
[21:46] ---
    What else did he say?
[21:47] ---
    I'm not sure, but... Lord Xerceas said that he's seen
    that falcon at the palace in Gairadite.
[21:55] ---
    One of the Selected Eight at a humans' palace?
SIGN    GATHERING SMALL COURAGES
[23:37] ---
    Gathering Small Courages.
