[00:08] Yifa
    How'd your written exam go, Seika?
[00:11] Seika
    It went pretty well, I think.
[00:13] Yifa
    I'm worried I made a bunch
    of mistakes. What do I do?
[00:16] Seika
    Just make up for it during the practicals.
[00:19] Seika
    She didn't get a lot of time to prepare.
[00:21] Seika
    She did the best she could, I'm sure.
[00:30] Seika
    She uses a sword?
[00:32] (Flashback) Amyu
    Amyu. Commoner.
[00:36] (Flashback) Karen
    All four elements?
[00:39] Seika
    Let's see how strong she is.
SIGN    The Reincarnation of
    the Strongest Exorcist in Another World
[02:13] Cordell
    We will now begin the practical exam.
[02:16] Cordell
    Aim for that target and unleash your magic.
[02:20] Cordell
    Starting from the left, the targets are:
    fire, earth, water, wind, light, dark.
[02:26] Cordell
    You're free to use as many as you like,
[02:28] Cordell
    but you'll get points for each one
    so you should try to hit as many as possible.
[02:32] Cordell
    Now, let's get started.
[02:34] Male Examinee 1
    Red burns bright!
    Spirits of flame and sulfur!
[02:38] Male Examinee 1
    Let out a roar and gather
    your anger into a sphere!
[02:41] Male Examinee 1
    Fireball!
[02:42] Female Examinee 1
    Yellow bursts with power!
    Spirits that raise up the rocks!
[02:46] Female Examinee 1
    Shatter and turn your
    rage into deadly stones!
[02:48] Female Examinee 1
    Stone Blast!
[02:50] Male Examinee 2
    Blue bubbles up from below!
    Spirits of cold springs and icy rain,
[02:53] Male Examinee 2
    freeze and turn your wrath
    into a spear of ice!
[02:56] Male Examinee 2
    Icicle Spear!
[02:59] Seika
    So most of them just chose one element?
[03:03] Seika
    They're not doing great, either.
[03:06] Yifa
    I guess it's my turn. I'll be off, Seika.
[03:09] Seika
    Okay, good luck.
[03:20] Yifa
    Flamenought!
[03:27] Students
    What was that fire?
[03:28] Students
    Mid-rank magic? She didn't
    use any incantation...
[03:31] Students
    Look at the target!
[03:33] Yifa
    S-Sorry!
[03:35] Cordell
    That target was enchanted
    with fire resistance...
[03:40] Yifa
    May I go to the next target?
[03:41] Cordell
    S-Sure...
[03:44] Seika
    Huh? "Next"?
[03:50] Yifa
    Wind Lance!
[03:55] Examinees
    No incantation again.
[03:56] Examinees
    That's mid-rank magic, right?
[03:58] Examinees
    What are they going to do
    about the targets she blew up?
[04:01] Cordell
    Quiet! Quiet, everyone!
[04:03] Cordell
    We have spare targets!
[04:05] Yifa
    I'm done!
[04:07] Yifa
    Sorry about the targets!
[04:09] Yifa
    Thank you!
[04:11] Yifa
    Wh-What did you think, Seika?
[04:14] Yifa
    I ruined the targets, but...
[04:16] Seika
    Yifa, your wind spell was amazing!
[04:19] Seika
    Where'd you learn that?
[04:23] Yifa
    I've been practicing little by little.
[04:26] Yifa
    I thought it might surprise you.
[04:28] Seika
    Yeah, it did.
[04:30] Seika
    Watching your apprentice grow
    brings a tear to your eye...
[04:32] Yifa
    I can still only use fire
    and wind magic, but...
[04:36] Yifa
    S-Seika, are you crying?
[04:38] Seika
    No, I'm not! I'm not crying!
[04:40] Cordell
    Well, next, please.
[04:42] Seika
    Oh, that's me.
[04:46] Male Examinee 1
    He has no magical power, right?
[04:48] Male Examinee 1
    What's he going to do?
[04:51] Seika
    Fireball.
[04:54] Male Examinee 2
    Blue flames? What just happened?
[04:56] Seika
    I'll now move on to earth.
[04:59] Cordell
    O-Okay.
[05:01] Cordell
    It's not going out...
[05:04] Seika
    That target's made of granite, huh?
[05:08] Seika
    Phase of earth and metal,
    spell of Directional Metal.
[05:12] Seika
    Stone... whatever it was.
[05:17] Examinees
    What the heck is that spell?
[05:19] Seika
    Sorry. I broke it.
[05:21] Seika
    Okay, next is water...
[05:22] Cordell
    No, wait! Wait!
[05:24] Cordell
    What was that spell?
[05:26] Seika
    It was uh... stone.
[05:28] Cordell
    What?
[05:29] Seika
    Um, sorry.
[05:30] Seika
    I'll go on to the next one.
[05:32] Seika
    It's not like I could explain it anyway.
[05:35] Seika
    Those cubes are pyrite.
[05:37] Seika
    I added metal ki and earth ki to the granite,
    causing it to crystallize and shatter.
[05:44] Seika
    But I can't tell them that, obviously.
[05:53] Seika
    Icicle... whatsits.
[05:54] Seika
    Phase of shadow and water.
[05:56] Seika
    Spell of Ice Waterfall.
[06:04] Seika
    Was that a little too much?
[06:06] Seika
    Sorry, that's all from me.
[06:09] Yifa
    You don't want to try the other elements?
[06:11] Seika
    I think I can only do those three.
[06:14] Seika
    Wind isn't one of my five elements,
[06:16] Seika
    and I haven't quite figured
    out light and dark yet.
[06:19] Seika
    What is it?
[06:20] Yifa
    Your magic really startled everybody.
[06:24] Yifa
    It felt good to see!
[06:30] Karen
    Hey there.
[06:32] Karen
    How'd it go this year?
[06:33] Cordell
    It was a mess. Tons of accidents.
[06:36] Karen
    The Lamprogue boy and his servant?
[06:39] Karen
    Do you know how much magical power they have?
[06:42] Cordell
    No.
[06:43] Karen
    The servant, Yifa, has so little
    she should barely be able to use magic.
[06:47] Karen
    And Seika has zero. No magical power at all.
[06:50] Cordell
    Impossible...
[06:52] Cordell
    But nothing could surprise me after today.
[06:56] Cordell
    Somebody even more powerful than the
    two of them was also there today.
[07:02] Karen
    Yes, my student, Amyu, right?
[07:06] Karen
    There's probably never been a student
[07:08] Karen
    who's destroyed the targets
    for all the elements like she did.
[07:12] Karen
    I think she might be the hero.
[07:15] Cordell
    The hero?
[07:16] Cordell
    Like in the old stories?
[07:18] Karen
    Yes, the legendary hero who's
    born in the human lands
[07:21] Karen
    when the demon king is going to revive.
[07:26] Cordell
    That would be interesting if so.
[07:33] Seika
    Now, let's see if our names are up there.
[07:36] Yifa
    I'm so nervous.
[07:39] Yifa
    Please don't abandon me
    even if I haven't passed.
[07:42] Seika
    I won't. I won't, okay?
[07:45] Yifa
    I hope I passed.
[07:45] Seika
    Now, where's my name?
[07:49] Seika
    There it is.
[07:51] Yifa
    Congratulations, Seika.
[07:53] Seika
    I ranked third...
[07:55] Seika
    I think I got a perfect score on my
    written test, so that's about as good
[07:57] Seika
    as I could expect.
[07:59] Seika
    So, who's above me?
[08:02] Yifa
    I'm #2?
[08:04] Yifa
    I did it, Seika!
[08:07] Seika
    Congratulations, Yifa...
[08:10] Seika
    I can't believe I lost out to
    Yifa in my practical score.
[08:13] Seika
    It's kind of shocking.
[08:15] Seika
    And #1 is...
[08:17] Seika
    Yeah, I thought it'd be her.
[08:18] Yifa
    Amyu's the girl with red hair who
    could use all four magics, right?
[08:23] Yifa
    Amazing!
[08:25] Seika
    Huh. I might've already found
    who I'm looking for.
[08:31] Seika
    Several days after the announcement,
[08:33] Seika
    an official invitation was sent to
    the inn at which we were staying.
[08:36] Seika
    Yifa and I officially
    enrolled at the academy.
[08:43] Seika
    And today's the entrance ceremony...
[08:46] Yifa
    S-Seika...
[08:48] Yifa
    Don't you think this skirt's too short?
[08:52] Seika
    I-I don't think so...
[08:55] Seika
    It is.
[08:59] Yifa
    We'll be living in the
    dorms from now on, right?
[09:01] Yifa
    Will I be allowed into the boys' dorm?
[09:04] Seika
    I don't think so.
[09:05] Yifa
    How can I serve you, then?
[09:07] Seika
    Here, you're just a student.
[09:12] Yifa
    What is it?
[09:14] Seika
    Are there elementals around here?
[09:15] Yifa
    Um... Huh? That's a dark elemental.
[09:20] Yifa
    Wait, why are there so many?
[09:22] Yifa
    Seika?
[09:25] Seika
    It's probably because of this, I'd guess.
[09:31] Yifa
    This magic circle has a
    really bad feeling to it.
[09:36] Seika
    I agree completely.
[09:38] Yifa
    What will you do?
[09:39] Seika
    It belongs to the school,
    so I don't think we can mess with it.
[09:43] Seika
    For now, let's head to the ceremony.
[09:45] Yifa
    Okay.
[09:46] Seika
    But given the flow of power
    from it, I'd guess that...
[09:56] Yifa
    The hall's huge!
[09:58] Yifa
    And there's so much food!
[10:00] Yifa
    Seika, you're eating already?
[10:03] Seika
    You should eat while you can, too, Yifa.
[10:06] Yifa
    Okay, I'll get some food, too.
[10:13] Yifa
    Amyu's giving a speech, right?
[10:16] Amyu
    I'm Amyu, the representative
    for the new students.
[10:19] Amyu
    I don't know what all your
    reasons are for coming here,
[10:24] Amyu
    but I'm here for one reason
    alone: to get stronger.
[10:28] Amyu
    The strength I seek is the strength...
[10:33] Seika
    There it is. It's close.
[10:34] Amyu
    to defeat monsters
    and protect my comrades.
[10:37] Seika
    It's nearly here.
[10:40] New Students
    What?
[10:40] New Students
    The door!
[10:42] New Male Student 2
    What happened?
[10:44] New Male Student 1
    No way. Are those...
[10:46] New Male Student 1
    lesser demons?
[10:49] New Male Student 2
    Run!
[10:50] Yifa
    S-Seika, d-demons!
[10:54] Seika
    They're looking for something.
[10:56] Cordell
    Fireball!
[10:56] Karen
    Icicle Spear!
[10:57] Female Second-Year
    Wind Lance!
[10:57] Cordell
    Fireball! Fireball!
[10:57] Karen
    Wind Lance!
    Fireball!
[10:58] Seika
    What a massive waste of time.
[10:58] Female Second-Year
    Icicle Spear!
    Rock Burst!
[11:00] Seika
    What are they doing?
[11:01] Female Second-Year
    Flamenought!
[11:06] Seika
    See what happens when you waste time?
[11:17] Amyu
    Wind Lance!
[11:22] Amyu
    If you can't fight, then get out of the way!
[11:24] Seika
    Something's wrong with those monsters.
[11:27] Seika
    Their attacks are slow.
[11:29] Seika
    Are they a decoy? Recon?
[11:31] Seika
    No, it doesn't matter.
[11:37] Seika
    Found you. There's the caster.
[11:41] Seika
    Yifa, if you think it's dangerous,
    use your magic and run.
[11:45] Seika
    Got it?
[11:46] Yifa
    Why? What about you, Seika?
[11:48] Seika
    I've got a job to do.
[11:51] Yifa
    A "job"?
[11:55] Yifa
    Seika?
[12:02] Seika
    Keshikimade tsukiutsukushiki noniawaba
[12:08] Seika
    sugashikaramashi hitonarazutomo...
[12:13] Seika
    "On a night when the moon is almost
    hauntingly beautiful, I meet someone.
[12:17] Seika
    Even if that person is a monster,
    not a man, for some reason, I feel fine."
[12:24] Seika
    That poem describes exactly
    how I feel right now.
[12:32] Seika
    My master was the author
    of that poem, you see.
[12:35] Seika
    They were, in their final years,
    rather unstable.
[12:38] Seika
    And the "monster" it speaks of
    refers, in a small way, to them, too.
[12:41] Seika
    I think it was their way of saying
    that even without a human heart,
[12:44] Seika
    there was still something inside them
    that saw the beauty in the moon.
[12:49] Seika
    Do you have a heart in you that can
    see how pretty the moons are? Well?
[12:54] Galeos
    What's a human child doing here?
[12:57] Galeos
    Don't tell me you tracked me here.
[13:00] Galeos
    If so, you're a fool.
[13:02] Galeos
    You can't defeat me alone.
[13:05] Seika
    I was in the mood to play.
[13:07] Seika
    I was afraid I'm getting out of shape.
[13:08] Galeos
    So you're in a rush for glory, then?
[13:10] Galeos
    Foolish, short-lived human.
[13:14] Galeos
    Come, my servants!
[13:16] Galeos
    Go!
[13:18] Seika
    Phase of sunlight.
[13:20] Seika
    Spell of Falling Fruit.
[13:27] Seika
    Protective Spell.
    Summoning, phase change, seal.
[13:34] Seika
    I'll take this one.
    You can keep the rest.
[13:35] Galeos
    You use teleportation magic?
[13:38] Galeos
    Not bad. I'll face you myself, then!
[13:45] Galeos
    My name is Gull Galeos.
[13:48] Galeos
    A demon of metal,
    who controls fire and earth.
[13:51] Seika
    Phase of sunlight.
[13:52] Seika
    Spell of Falling Fruit.
[13:53] Galeos
    You're wasting your time.
    It won't work on me.
[13:56] Seika
    He can see my invisible hitogata?
[14:04] Seika
    Okay, how about this, then?
[14:11] Galeos
    Is that all?
[14:12] Galeos
    Then, die!
[14:16] Seika
    Huh? That was slow.
[14:18] Galeos
    Fool.
[14:22] Seika
    He teleported the blade
    and changed its course?
[14:27] Galeos
    I'm a devil.
[14:28] Galeos
    Of course I can use dark teleportation magic!
[14:36] Galeos
    You were arrogant.
[14:47] Seika
    So, tell me.
[14:50] Seika
    What are you looking for?
[14:52] Seika
    You were watching through the eyes of those
    lesser demons the whole time, weren't you?
[14:59] Galeos
    You could tell, huh?
[15:00] Galeos
    Very well.
[15:02] Galeos
    I'll tell you as thanks for showing me
    that strange teleportation magic.
[15:06] Galeos
    There's only one thing
    here that interests me.
[15:10] Galeos
    The hero!
[15:11] Seika
    The hero? From the fairy tales?
[15:14] Galeos
    Fairy tales?
[15:19] Galeos
    How ironic!
[15:21] Galeos
    You think that legendary
    battle was just a fairy tale?
[15:25] Galeos
    Even if the war was many years ago,
    it's hard to believe you've fallen so far!
[15:29] Seika
    But the hero and the demon king are
    just delusions you people have, right?
[15:34] Galeos
    The prophecy 12 years ago was true!
[15:38] Galeos
    I found her tonight!
[15:42] Galeos
    A girl with red hair, and inhuman power!
[15:48] Seika
    You mean Amyu?
[15:50] Galeos
    Her name's "Amyu"?
[15:52] Galeos
    That will make it easier to find her.
[15:54] Galeos
    Let me thank you!
[16:01] Galeos
    It's over!
[16:07] Galeos
    I never thought I could have such a
    splendid battle with a human child.
[16:13] Galeos
    No, there's still one more
    thing to deal with. The hero.
[16:19] Seika
    Kumorinaki yowa no sorakoso sabishikere
[16:24] Seika
    Noroishi kuroki kumo no kenureba...
[16:29] Seika
    This was the poem I read
    to my master in response.
[16:32] Seika
    "A cloudless night sky
    seems lacking, somehow.
[16:36] Seika
    Maybe I hated you, because you were
    like clouds covering the moon,
[16:39] ---
    but now that you're gone, that's how I feel."
[16:43] Seika
    Poems aren't really my thing.
    Do you think it's any good?
[16:46] Seika
    I killed my master, so I never
    got to hear what they thought.
[16:50] Seika
    Oh, the "monster" in the poem was me.
[16:53] Galeos
    How are you alive?
[16:56] Seika
    Why? Can't you tell—
[17:01] Seika
    And I'm back to life.
[17:04] Galeos
    Maybe you can come back to life,
    but why did my blade disappear?
[17:08] Seika
    I simply set a spell to eliminate
    anything that didn't belong.
[17:12] Galeos
    Very well. Then I'll just kill you
    until you're truly dead!
[17:16] Galeos
    And the hero, too!
[17:18] Galeos
    I'll deal with her before
    she becomes the strongest!
[17:21] Seika
    The strongest... What a waste of time.
[17:25] Seika
    Is it the strong who control the world?
[17:28] Seika
    The ones most skilled in
    martial arts? No. It's not.
[17:32] Seika
    Power means numbers.
[17:34] Seika
    And strength means having the
    cunning to control those numbers.
[17:37] Seika
    The amount of violence one person can inflict
    is nothing compared to the whole world.
[17:42] Galeos
    You only say that because
    you don't know true strength.
[17:46] Galeos
    All kneel in the face of true power!
[17:50] Seika
    I did use to be the strongest, actually.
[17:53] Galeos
    Lies!
[17:57] Seika
    Phase of water!
[17:58] Seika
    Spell of Waterfall!
[18:00] Galeos
    How does he have so much magical power?!
[18:08] Seika
    Yup. He used his teleport to escape.
[18:14] Seika
    Summoning: Lightning Beast.
[18:25] Seika
    You took a direct hit
    while soaked to the bone.
[18:27] Seika
    Is that all?
[18:31] Seika
    Behind me?
[18:34] Galeos
    Once again, you were arrogant.
[18:38] Seika
    Gotcha.
[18:44] Seika
    Phase of metal and water.
[18:46] Seika
    Spell of Ashen Flowers.
[18:49] Seika
    Did you know that, Mr. Metal Devil?
[18:53] Seika
    Splitting salt into two and one
    will have the ki of metal.
[18:57] Seika
    Which means that salt contains metal.
[19:00] Seika
    And crystals of it react violently with water.
[19:04] Seika
    Like they just did.
[19:06] Galeos
    Impossible.
[19:07] Galeos
    I've never heard of such a metal!
[19:09] Seika
    Listen, you ever think that
    you should study more?
[19:13] Seika
    You ever wonder about what fire really is?
[19:16] Seika
    Or why you can decompose
    water to create wind?
[19:18] Seika
    Or why cooling wind creates water
    that's colder than normal water?
[19:22] Seika
    Study more.
[19:24] Galeos
    You would lecture me?!
[19:26] Galeos
    I can still fight!
[19:30] Galeos
    I can win this...
[19:33] Galeos
    Those strange charms of yours...
    you have to be running low on them!
[19:37] Seika
    Charms?
[19:38] Seika
    You mean these?
[19:40] Seika
    I've got plenty.
[19:42] Seika
    I've been making them every day for years.
[19:45] Seika
    Now, as much as I hate to bring an end
    to this party, I'm afraid we're done.
[19:50] Seika
    I'm going to end today's banquet by
    feeding your body to my servants.
[19:57] Seika
    On chatorudashu dashu torininavu
    navu ekamu eruviati sakaru sowaka.
[20:05] Seika
    Summoning: Mizuchi.
[20:20] Galeos
    Wh-What is that thing?
[20:22] Galeos
    Even the demon king couldn't...
[20:25] Galeos
    summon a dragon...
[20:28] Seika
    It's not a "dragon."
[20:30] Seika
    Call it a "Ryuu".
[20:50] Seika
    Now, time to return Mizuchi back
    to where it came from and...
[20:56] Seika
    He's trying to run away!
[20:59] Seika
    Damn it!
[21:00] Seika
    Get back here!
[21:23] Seika
    I never thought a servant as weak as
    Mizuchi would try to rebel against me.
[21:26] Seika
    I can understand why, though.
[21:28] Seika
    While its spiritual power may flow well,
[21:30] Seika
    my body's not as mature
    as it was in my previous life.
[21:33] Yuki
    Seika!
[21:36] Seika
    Sorry, Yuki. Did you get left
    behind during the teleport?
[21:41] Yuki
    No, I was hiding because
    I didn't think I could help.
[21:45] Yuki
    Are you sure you wanted to use valuable
    sacrifice hitogata on somebody so weak?
[21:51] Seika
    I was planning on dying three or four times
    just to make sure they worked.
[21:55] Yuki
    I see.
[21:57] Yuki
    Oh, and I didn't know you were a poet!
[22:02] Yuki
    That's wonderful!
[22:04] Seika
    Please don't say that...
[22:13] Yifa
    Seika...
[22:16] Yifa
    Where were you?
[22:17] Seika
    Sorry, sorry. You okay?
[22:20] Yifa
    Yes. All the lesser demons were defeated.
[22:35] Yifa
    Amyu defeated them all on her own.
[22:39] Seika
    No matter how strong you are,
[22:41] Seika
    in the end, the people around you
    will drag you down and crush you.
[22:46] Seika
    I learned that the hard way in my last life.
[22:49] Seika
    That's why I needed somebody to
    become the strongest instead of me.
[22:55] Seika
    Just like how all those useless bureaucrats
[22:57] Seika
    in my last life got to act all
    high and mighty at the Imperial court.
[22:59] Seika
    Serving under the strongest person
    must be the smartest way to live.
[23:04] Seika
    Yifa's not strong enough,
    but the hero sure is.
[23:09] Seika
    I'll be her friend. Somebody she can trust.
[23:13] Seika
    Maybe she'll be crushed in the end.
[23:16] Seika
    And maybe I'll be sad, but that's all.
[23:19] Seika
    This time, I'll be happy.
[23:23] Seika
    The demons might come back.
[23:26] Seika
    But don't worry, Amyu.
[23:29] Seika
    I'll make you the strongest,
[23:32] Seika
    even if I have to beat
    this "demon king" myself.
