[00:19] ---
Demon King of Tyranny!
[00:20] ---
Where are your subordinates?
[00:22] ---
Surely, you're not so foolish
that you'd invade Capital Gairadite alone!
[00:28] ---
Don't jump to conclusions.
[00:30] ---
I'm here to speak
with you today, Hero Kanon.
[00:34] ---
Speak with me?
[00:35] ---
Isn't it about time we ended this war?
[00:39] ---
Who are you to talk,
Anos, Demon King of Tyranny?
[00:43] ---
It's not just humans who desire peace.
[00:47] ---
A man of true courage
who showed even us demons mercy...
[00:51] ---
I know you so well.
[00:54] ---
What is it that you really want?
[00:57] ---
To obliterate your enemies?
[01:00] ---
I...
[01:04] ---
Jerga!
[01:06] ---
Don't listen to his lies, Kanon!
[01:08] ---
There can never be peace
unless we annihilate him!
[01:11] ---
Demon King Anos, it is your death
that we humans yearn for!
[01:17] ---
Sir Jerga!
[01:18] ---
Please annihilate the Demon King
and bring peace to the world!
[01:25] ---
I shall avenge my comrades,
my wife and children!
[01:29] ---
Today is the day that I kill you!
[01:33] ---
Don't take us humans lightly!
[01:43] ---
You humans killed my mother, as well.
[01:47] ---
As I was saying, if you have any interest,
come to my castle Delsgade.
[01:54] ---
Jerga!
[01:56] ---
Don't mind me.
[01:58] ---
Set everyone's mind at ease.
[02:00] ---
Let them know that Hero Kanon
has driven out the Demon King.
[02:04] ---
Jerga, will it really be over
if I defeat the Demon King?
[02:08] ---
Don't give it a second thought, Kanon.
Demons kill humans.
[02:13] ---
There's no way we can ever coexist!
[02:16] ---
I'll be right back.
[02:19] ---
That's what I wanted to hear.
[02:25] ---
I'll never forgive you,
Demon King of Tyranny.
[02:29] ---
I shall wipe out the demon race
no matter what. Even if it costs me my life!
SIGN THE MYSTERY OF THE HERO ACADEMY
[04:07] ---
With all the spells in the world...
[04:09] ---
why isn't there a cure for oversleeping?
[04:11] ---
Misha should've woken me up!
[04:14] ---
Wha...
[04:15] ---
Why are you two going to class together?
[04:17] ---
Lunch.
[04:19] ---
Anos' mother was teaching me
how to make lunch.
[04:21] ---
Oh? Well, if you were going to his house,
you could've let me know.
[04:26] ---
I tried every which way to rouse you,
but you wouldn't wake up.
[04:31] ---
So, Sasha, you're not a morning person, then?
[04:34] ---
I-I wouldn't say that, really.
[04:36] ---
She's so not a morning person.
[04:38] ---
Misha!
[04:39] ---
If you'd like to come over,
I'll wake you up myself next time.
[04:44] ---
Wh-Why would you come wake me up
so I can go over to your house?
[04:48] ---
Hey.
[04:50] ---
Good morning!
[04:55] ---
I'm Menou Historia,
the homeroom teacher for Year 3, Class 1.
[04:59] ---
I'll be taking over this class
temporarily for Ms. Emilia.
[05:04] ---
Did Ms. Emilia quit?
[05:06] ---
When did that happen?
[05:07] ---
Now, now! Please settle down.
[05:09] ---
All right, let me announce
your upcoming schedule.
[05:12] ---
In three weeks, we'll be holding
inter-academy classes.
[05:15] ---
Our school will be represented
by the third-years...
[05:17] ---
and because there are members
of the Generation of Chaos, this first-year class.
[05:22] ---
The venue will be Azeshion's Hero Academy
Arclaniska in the Human Realm.
[05:27] ---
D-Does that mean
we'll be going to the Human Realm?
[05:30] ---
Yes.
[05:31] ---
Although we don't interact
that often with the Human Realm,
[05:33] ---
these plans to hold inter-academy classes
have been in the works for a while.
[05:37] ---
We received the go-ahead
rather suddenly.
[05:40] ---
We've never been to Azeshion before.
[05:42] ---
Hero Academy, huh?
[05:44] ---
Hey, what was a Hero again anyway?
[05:47] ---
That's right. You won't be learning
about Heroes until your third year.
[05:51] ---
Why don't we prep ourselves, then?
[05:53] ---
Heroes are the brave warriors who led
the human forces back in the Age of Chaos.
[05:58] ---
The Heroes' Troop Magic is said
to be similar to the demons' Gyze.
[06:04] ---
Who knows what it is?
[06:07] ---
Asla.
[06:09] ---
Unlike Gyze, which allocates
Magic Power among one's subordinates,
[06:12] ---
under this spell, the subordinates
share their Magic Power with their leader.
[06:16] ---
But that alone isn't enough
to unleash Asla's true value.
[06:19] ---
By using Spirit Magic called "Asc" to convert
one's comrades' souls into Magic Power,
[06:23] ---
one acquires even greater power.
[06:26] ---
Gyze defends by building castles
[06:29] ---
whereas Asla was developed
to attack and destroy those castles.
[06:33] ---
You are correct!
[06:35] ---
There'll be a Gyze versus Asla exam
during the inter-academy classes,
[06:38] ---
so make sure you do your homework!
[06:41] ---
That's our Sir Anos!
[06:43] ---
Nailed it yet again today!
[06:45] ---
So, you're "the misfit"?
[06:48] ---
You know a lot about Heroes, don't you?
[06:50] ---
Well, I did see more than my fill
of them back in the day.
[06:57] ---
Now that the world is at peace,
have they all but forgotten about Heroes?
[07:01] ---
Still, this Hero Academy...
[07:04] ---
Anos, we have study hall
for the rest of the day.
[07:08] ---
This will be good opportunity, then.
All four of you, come with me.
[07:11] ---
Okay, I guess.
[07:12] ---
What are you going to do?
[07:20] ---
Sasha!
[07:22] ---
Your Demonic Eyes of Destruction
are far better than that!
[07:24] ---
I know it's only study hall,
but come at me ready to die!
[07:28] ---
S-So, he's not holding back, then?
[07:30] ---
But she's still alive.
[07:32] ---
All right, let's fight back.
[07:34] ---
Which is what I'd normally say,
but I have no sword.
[07:37] ---
Leave it to me.
[07:40] ---
I owe you one.
[07:42] ---
Let's go, Anos!
[07:55] ---
Misha, your craftsmanship
leaves much to be desired.
[07:59] ---
Lay, practice how to fight
after you've lost your sword!
[08:07] ---
Spirit Magic, huh?
[08:15] ---
Misa, you're weak to begin with.
[08:18] ---
Come up with a way to fight
that suits you.
[08:21] ---
The Hero I knew was so powerful,
he didn't seem human.
[08:25] ---
His power and his soul, as well.
[08:28] ---
I don't know if he's been
reincarnated into this era,
[08:30] ---
but at the very least,
our opponents in the exam...
[08:32] ---
will be those
inheriting the names of the Heroes.
[08:35] ---
Surely, we can't afford to bore them.
[08:38] ---
Anos!
[08:43] ---
One more time.
[08:46] ---
That's what I like to hear.
[08:50] ---
How are Gaios and Ydol?
[08:52] ---
They've been successfully resurrected.
[08:55] ---
Just as you thought, their sources seem to have been
taken over by someone two thousand years ago.
[09:01] ---
There are three members
of the Seven Elder Demon Emperors left.
[09:03] ---
And all three of them must be working
as Avos Dilhevia's pawns.
[09:09] ---
Most likely.
[09:11] ---
Still, why are you the only one
whose source wasn't taken over?
[09:15] ---
I don't know.
[09:17] ---
Perhaps, they didn't have
enough trusted subordinates to fuse with me.
[09:23] ---
It might be a trap to make us think
that's what happened.
[09:26] ---
Yes.
[09:27] ---
One more thing, Sir Anos.
[09:29] ---
Once again, please exercise the utmost caution
during the inter-academy classes.
[09:35] ---
The Hero Academy, huh?
[09:37] ---
I've had my suspicions for a while now.
[09:40] ---
So, why was it built in the first place?
[09:44] ---
Officially, to nurture those who could
contribute to the country's expansion.
[09:48] ---
However, there seems to be an elite class
for reincarnated Heroes.
[09:54] ---
Oh?
[09:55] ---
"Hero" used to mean a "Great War hero."
[09:58] ---
Now that the world is at peace, why would they
gather and train only resurrected Heroes?
[10:03] ---
They've gone to great lengths
to hide the reason for that.
[10:08] ---
So, it's not just any school, huh?
[10:15] ---
This is amazing!
Are these all yours, Anos?
[10:19] ---
Yes. Pick out whatever you like.
[10:21] ---
Sorry. Without a sword,
I just can't seem to settle down.
[10:26] ---
This one... Is it okay if I draw it?
[10:30] ---
So, that's your choice?
[10:32] ---
The Unique Sword Sigshesta.
[10:34] ---
That Magic Sword's a handful.
[10:36] ---
Do you want to try it out?
[10:42] ---
Sigshesta's blade can transform at will.
In other words, heart and soul.
[10:47] ---
If you don't focus with your heart, it'll just be
a blunt sword unable to slash anything.
[10:50] ---
So, I wasn't focusing on slashing
with it, huh? Pretty cool sword!
[10:56] ---
Two thousand years ago, I had a right-hand man
who'd mastered every sword in existence.
[11:01] ---
He was the only one who could
control this sword at will.
[11:05] ---
You remind me a lot of that man.
[11:07] ---
Do you mean I was born
when that guy got reincarnated?
[11:12] ---
I'm not sure about that yet.
[11:14] ---
Well, I kind of get the sense
that I used to live in another era.
[11:18] ---
But I don't remember anything. Did you two
promise to meet again or something?
[11:23] ---
I did.
[11:26] ---
I'll take this one.
[11:28] ---
Right.
[11:30] ---
If you ever happen to be reincarnated
two thousand years from now...
[11:35] ---
Then...
[11:38] ---
it will be as your friend.
[11:41] ---
Promise, huh?
[11:47] ---
Good morning!
[11:49] ---
I'm going to have you all head to the capital
of Azeshion, Gairadite for the inter-academy classes.
[11:55] ---
You'll be traveling for ten days.
[11:57] ---
Students who fail to reach Gairadite by then
won't be eligible to take part.
[12:01] ---
And no one to lead us, either?
[12:03] ---
By the way, it only took me two days!
[12:06] ---
Third-years, use that
as a point of reference, all right?
[12:09] ---
Now then, ready, set, go!
[12:15] ---
What route?
[12:16] ---
Let's see.
[12:17] ---
If we go through the Forest of Tora and cross
the Mylene Desert, it'll just take a day—
[12:21] ---
What are you talking about?
[12:24] ---
We can be there in one second.
[12:29] ---
Getting here with zero effort
took all the thrill out it, huh?
[12:32] ---
Yeah.
[12:33] ---
Well, I've been here before.
[12:37] ---
Oh?
[12:38] ---
Okay, since we have time,
I think I'll explore the city.
[12:41] ---
I'm going to contact
the Fan Union from our lodgings.
[12:45] ---
If they take the wrong route, they won't get here
in time for the inter-academy classes.
[12:49] ---
What are you going to do, Misha?
[12:51] ---
I'm going with Misa.
[12:53] ---
Oh?
[12:54] ---
Hold up, Anos! Where are you going?
[12:57] ---
I've got some digging to do.
Wanna come along?
[13:04] ---
Azeshion isn't all that different
from Dilhade, is it?
[13:12] ---
It's certainly peaceful now.
[13:16] ---
By the way, what are you looking into?
[13:18] ---
I thought I'd get a look at that Hero Academy.
[13:21] ---
Just don't cause any uproars. We still have
the inter-academy classes ahead of us.
[13:26] ---
Don't worry.
[13:28] ---
I happen to have
some common sense, too.
[13:30] ---
Common sense? After trying to kill us
over and over during study hall?
[13:35] ---
As you never succumbed even once,
I have to commend you.
[13:38] ---
You're quite worthy of having
the same Demonic Eyes as myself.
[13:41] ---
Wha...
[13:42] ---
I-I'm not falling
for your compliments, all right?
[13:46] ---
What do you mean?
[13:47] ---
It's not every day that I utter such words.
[13:52] ---
Sasha...
[13:54] ---
When I told you before how beautiful
your Demonic Eyes were,
[13:57] ---
I wasn't lying, you know.
[13:58] ---
Wha...
[13:59] ---
Wh-What's that all of a sudden?
[14:02] ---
What's what?
[14:04] ---
Listen, in that moment,
I desired those eyes of yours.
[14:08] ---
Huh? U-Um...
[14:11] ---
Surely, you're not such a child
that you don't know what that means.
[14:23] ---
You're still just an unruly little girl,
[14:25] ---
but look into my eyes.
[14:29] ---
Beautiful eyes...
[14:31] ---
Yours are even more beautiful.
[14:34] ---
So serene and innocent.
[14:44] ---
Fine, then.
[14:46] ---
If you want them,
you can have my eyes.
[14:50] ---
Then, promise me.
[14:52] ---
That if my eyes are ever exposed
to an unreachable danger,
[14:55] ---
you'll protect everyone
with your own eyes in my stead.
[14:58] ---
If I fulfill that promise...
[15:01] ---
will you stop treating me like a child?
[15:05] ---
Fine by me.
[15:07] ---
It's a promise!
[15:10] ---
This is Hero Academy Arclaniska.
[15:14] ---
H-Hey, Anos!
You're not going inside, are you?
[15:18] ---
We'll be interacting with them
in ten days anyway.
[15:21] ---
Makes no difference
whether we enter now or later.
[15:23] ---
Where's your common sense now?
[15:26] ---
All right, you two, sit tight.
[15:29] ---
The Hero Academy is off-limits to outsiders.
[15:32] ---
Is that right? Unfortunately,
we've only just arrived from Dilhade.
[15:37] ---
Dilhade?
[15:38] ---
Are you from the Demon Academy
by any chance?
[15:41] ---
Yes.
[15:42] ---
I see!
[15:44] ---
Nice to meet you. I'm Eleanor Bianca,
a third-year at the Hero Academy.
[15:49] ---
I'm Anos Voldigoad.
[15:51] ---
I'm Sasha Necron.
[15:54] ---
What are you doing here?
[15:56] ---
The inter-academy classes
aren't for a while yet, are they?
[15:59] ---
Well, I'm intrigued by the Hero legends.
[16:02] ---
Wow! Talk about studious!
[16:05] ---
All right, want to come in?
[16:07] ---
You said it was off-limits to outsiders.
[16:10] ---
You'll be safe as long as you're with me.
[16:16] ---
This is a school for nurturing Heroes
well versed in all areas of study.
[16:21] ---
The building's been repurposed from the castle
used during the Great War two thousand years ago.
[16:28] ---
Who's this?
[16:30] ---
That's Kanon.
[16:32] ---
Then, he's the one who...
[16:34] ---
Yes.
[16:40] ---
Oh...
[16:41] ---
Impressive, huh?
[16:43] ---
Books on magic are gathered here
from all over Azeshion.
[16:48] ---
If you want to learn about Heroes,
I recommend this one.
[16:52] ---
It's about the legend of Hero Kanon
defeating the Demon King of Tyranny.
[16:58] ---
And what's that all about?
[17:01] ---
Um...
[17:02] ---
Which part do you mean?
[17:04] ---
Why did you all decide that Hero Kanon
defeated the Demon King of Tyranny?
[17:09] ---
You're asking why?
[17:11] ---
Because it's a fact.
[17:12] ---
Then, who built those walls?
[17:15] ---
Walls?
[17:16] ---
The walls that divided the world
into four areas two thousand years ago!
[17:19] ---
They were built by Hero Kanon to protect humans
from the remnants of the demon race.
[17:23] ---
Don't give me that!
[17:25] ---
They were built by the Demon King of Tyranny
at the cost of his life to achieve peace—
[17:29] ---
Hey, Anos! What are you doing?
[17:31] ---
Simmer down.
[17:33] ---
We have to let them believe
that he killed the Demon King,
[17:35] ---
or the humans from back then
can never rest easy.
[17:38] ---
Sorry. I guess I said the wrong thing.
[17:42] ---
Eleanor...
[17:44] ---
Do you know the name
of the Demon King of Tyranny?
[17:47] ---
Is it okay to say it?
[17:49] ---
Yes.
[17:51] ---
Avos Dilhevia.
[17:54] ---
So, it's the same here.
[17:57] ---
I hear there's an elite class
for reincarnated Heroes here.
[18:01] ---
Yeah. You're talking about Jerga Kanon, right?
[18:04] ---
Jerga Kanon?
[18:05] ---
That's the class with all the Heroes
reincarnated from different eras.
[18:09] ---
Is Hero Kanon among them?
[18:13] ---
There are four reincarnations of Kanon.
[18:16] ---
Oh?
[18:16] ---
Four of them? What do you mean?
[18:18] ---
Because Hero Kanon
had seven sources, right?
[18:22] ---
Seven sources?
[18:24] ---
A power he acquired
to rise up against demons.
[18:27] ---
If even one source remains,
he can resurrect the other six.
[18:32] ---
Each one of them might have been
reincarnated into different bodies.
[18:35] ---
You sure know a lot about it!
[18:37] ---
What do those four say
about the history of the Heroes?
[18:41] ---
If they have Kanon's memories,
[18:43] ---
they should be able to dispute
this country's flawed history.
[18:47] ---
But if no one objects—
[18:49] ---
Which one of them is flawed,
would you say?
[18:52] ---
I find it unlikely that the Demon King,
[18:55] ---
after running the gamut of tyranny,
would build a wall to protect humans.
[18:59] ---
You just can't accept defeat because of your
blind worship for your founding ancestor, right?
[19:05] ---
Who are you?
[19:06] ---
I'm the reincarnation
of Hero Kanon's first heart,
[19:09] ---
and a member of the elite class,
Jerga Kanon.
[19:13] ---
Ledriano Kanon Azeschen.
[19:16] ---
Ditto, Jerga Kanon member...
[19:19] ---
the reincarnation of Hero Kanon's
third heart, Laos Kanon Jilfor.
[19:24] ---
I doubt that.
[19:26] ---
What?
[19:28] ---
I said it's doubtful that you two
are Kanon's reincarnations.
[19:32] ---
He has only one true source.
The rest are duds, huh?
[19:36] ---
Then, we'll be happy to show you.
[19:38] ---
We'll just flex our Hero muscles a bit
instead of a greeting!
[19:42] ---
I would very much like for you to enlighten me.
[19:44] ---
You'd better not blink, all right?
[19:46] ---
I'm about to show you
something mind-blowing!
[19:52] ---
By blinking...
[19:58] ---
...do you mean this?
[20:00] ---
Wh-What the hell did you do?
[20:02] ---
I blinked.
[20:04] ---
Dammit!
[20:06] ---
That's enough now.
[20:08] ---
You lost.
[20:09] ---
Don't be ridiculous!
I haven't even gone all out yet—
[20:12] ---
Laos!
[20:14] ---
S-Sorry.
[20:16] ---
I apologize for his rudeness.
[20:19] ---
Would you mind withdrawing for now?
[20:23] ---
Let's go, Sasha.
[20:25] ---
May I ask your name?
[20:29] ---
I'm Anos Voldigoad.
[20:34] ---
Hey, wait!
[20:35] ---
Wait up!
[20:39] ---
Sorry you had to get into that fight.
[20:41] ---
But Anos, you're really strong.
[20:43] ---
I didn't see that coming.
[20:45] ---
I haven't shown any substantial power.
[20:47] ---
If I'd been up against the real Kanon,
it wouldn't have ended like that.
[20:50] ---
You still overdid it, though.
[20:54] ---
By any chance,
were you reincarnated, too, Anos?
[20:58] ---
That's right.
[20:59] ---
Someone who knew Hero Kanon
two thousand years ago?
[21:03] ---
Yes.
[21:05] ---
We made a promise
before I was reincarnated.
[21:07] ---
I was hoping to get the chance to see him.
[21:10] ---
