[00:08] Yifa
    Today's our first day as sophomores!
[00:10] Amyu
    I'm glad I wasn't held back.
[00:12] Amyu
    It's thanks to you and Seika.
[00:13] Yifa
    No, it's because you worked really hard!
[00:17] Amyu
    My grades weren't looking so
    good, so it was a big help.
[00:21] Amyu
    This food's great, too.
[00:23] Amyu
    I didn't have time to eat it
    last year, so I had no idea.
[00:26] Seika
    There was that demon attack, after all.
[00:28] Amyu
    Yup.
[00:29] Yifa
    Amyu, this duck meat is great.
[00:31] Seika
    Surprisingly, there've been no
    more demon attacks since then.
[00:35] Seika
    It's a bit of a letdown.
[00:37] Seika
    I've got wards up all around the school,
[00:40] Seika
    but there aren't any signs of assassins.
[00:42] Seika
    This year's entrance ceremony
    should end without incident.
[00:48] Vice-Principal
    Seika Lamprogue.
[00:50] Seika
    Vice-principal?
[00:52] Vice-Principal
    You and Yifa are to come to the
    principal's office tomorrow evening.
[00:57] Vice-Principal
    Farewell.
[01:00] Amyu
    Looks like somebody's in trouble!
[01:03] Amyu
    Think they're gonna expel you?
[01:05] Seika
    Don't say that.
[01:07] Seika
    Yifa was summoned, too.
[01:09] Seika
    Jokes aside, I've got a
    bad feeling about this.
SIGN    The Reincarnation of
    the Strongest Exorcist in Another World
[02:49] Yifa
    I've never met the Principal.
[02:53] Seika
    Me, neither.
[02:54] Yifa
    It's always been the vice-principal
    whenever there was an event, right?
[02:59] Seika
    Yeah.
[03:00] Seika
    I thought it was some big shot from the
    capital who just put their name down.
[03:03] Seika
    I guess they're real, though.
[03:09] Principal
    Come in.
[03:11] Seika
    Excuse us.
[03:12] Yifa
    Excuse us.
[03:17] Principal
    Welcome, Lamprogue boy.
[03:23] Principal
    I'm a little surprised.
[03:24] Principal
    I was expecting a little brat who
    was far too proud of himself.
[03:29] Principal
    But instead I see someone who
    looks like he's seen some things.
[03:33] Seika
    Thank you.
[03:34] Seika
    I, too, am surprised
[03:36] Seika
    to find that a demihuman is the leader
    of the Imperial Magic Academy.
[03:40] Principal
    I dislike that term.
[03:42] Principal
    We're not beneath humans in any way.
[03:45] Principal
    Even calling us "demons" would be better.
[03:49] Seika
    True. If you want to be strict
    about it, dwarves are demons, too.
[03:52] Seika
    My apologies.
[03:55] Principal
    Hmph. I guess if you're
    acting that way around me,
[03:59] Principal
    it means that whatever you've seen
    has given you a lot of confidence.
[04:03] Principal
    I can tell you're related to him, at least.
[04:06] Seika
    You know my father?
[04:08] Principal
    No, I mean your uncle.
[04:11] Seika
    I never heard anything about
    my father having siblings.
[04:16] Principal
    Well, that doesn't matter.
[04:19] Principal
    Let's get to the point.
[04:21] Seika
    That being?
[04:23] Principal
    I want you to enter a mixed disciplines combat
    tournament being held in the capital.
[04:28] Principal
    With her.
[04:32] Principal
    Thank you for coming.
[04:34] Principal
    Now, tell your upperclassmen your name.
[04:38] Mabel
    Mabel Crane.
SIGN    Episode 5: Mabel Crane
[04:43] Seika
    A new student?
[04:44] Principal
    The academy's been given
    two slots at the tournament.
[04:47] Principal
    Mabel's one.
[04:49] Principal
    Will the other be you, or your servant girl?
[04:58] Amyu
    Why didn't I get invited?
[05:01] Seika
    I said the same thing.
[05:03] Amyu
    So you're going?
[05:09] Seika
    Yeah. There's something I'm curious about.
[05:13] Amyu
    Did the Magic Academy ever participate
    in this tournament before?
[05:18] Yifa
    The rules changed this year,
    and now magic's allowed.
[05:23] Seika
    And the academy was given slots.
[05:27] Seika
    From the sound of it,
[05:29] Seika
    she wanted us to go to boost
    the academy's reputation.
[05:34] Amyu
    Isn't that usually a job
    for the upperclassmen?
[05:38] Seika
    Supposedly they're all too
    busy with their own research.
[05:45] Amyu
    Why you, though?
[05:47] Yifa
    He came back alive from the
    dungeon last year, right?
[05:50] Yifa
    And the principal knew he defeated
    an elder newt before coming here.
[05:57] Amyu
    That only makes it weirder that it wasn't me!
[06:01] Seika
    She mentioned that.
[06:03] (Flashback) Principal
    I've decided the two of you are better.
    That's all there is to it.
[06:08] (Flashback) Principal
    Don't underestimate the
    gut instincts of your elders.
[06:13] Seika
    She said.
[06:14] Amyu
    Why?
[06:15] Amyu
    I don't know about magic, but I'm
    better with a sword than anyone!
[06:20] Yifa
    I knew you'd say that.
[06:23] Seika
    Did you want to go, then?
[06:24] Amyu
    Well...
[06:27] Amyu
    Actually, now that I think about it, I don't.
[06:32] Yifa
    They said if you win,
    you get a ton of prize money
[06:36] Yifa
    and a chance to join the Royal Guards.
[06:38] Amyu
    Well, I'd like the money, but I'm
    not interested in joining the guard.
[06:43] Amyu
    And fighting people isn't nearly
    as much fun as fighting monsters.
[06:47] Seika
    That's strange.
    I thought Amyu just loved to fight.
[06:51] Seika
    Maybe she's mellowed a bit.
[06:55] Amyu
    I still don't like the
    fact they didn't ask me.
[06:59] Seika
    Maybe they didn't want to send out
    somebody who was too strong?
[07:02] Seika
    It could mean losing them to the Royal Guard.
[07:06] Amyu
    Then, why choose you?
[07:09] Seika
    Me? I'm not that strong.
[07:14] Amyu
    Cut it out with that
    fake smile of yours.
[07:17] Amyu
    I don't get it, though.
[07:20] Amyu
    You, I understand, but why Yifa?
[07:25] Yifa
    That's right.
[07:27] Amyu
    I don't mean you're not strong enough.
[07:30] Amyu
    But could you use your
    magic on another person?
[07:34] Yifa
    I'm... not sure.
[07:36] Amyu
    It's one thing if it's an actual fight,
[07:38] Amyu
    but it's tougher to aim a spell
     at someone than, say, a sword.
[07:41] Amyu
    If it hits, it could kill them.
[07:44] Amyu
    Some people are crazy enough
    to never hesitate at all,
[07:48] Amyu
    but most people couldn't
    just do it immediately.
[07:51] Seika
    Is that how it works?
[07:55] Seika
    I must be one of the crazy
    people she's talking about.
[08:04] Amyu
    So as I see it, this Mabel girl is
    probably the choice of some noble.
[08:11] Seika
    There you go again with your hatred of nobles.
[08:14] Amyu
    It's not hatred!
[08:16] Amyu
    I bet they want to make it so she has
    a tournament appearance on her resume,
[08:21] Amyu
    to make it easier for her to get a
    high-ranking job in the government.
[08:24] Seika
    You really think so?
[08:26] Amyu
    I'm sure of it!
[08:28] Amyu
    She'll probably forfeit
    early in the tournament.
[08:32] Amyu
    She won't want to get hurt.
[08:34] Amyu
    I'm sure she's never experienced
    any real hardship.
[08:36] Mabel
    You're the one who's never
    experienced hardship.
[08:41] Seika
    Mabel.
[08:44] Amyu
    You're Mabel Crane, then.
[08:49] Amyu
    So, what are you trying to say?
[08:51] Mabel
    You babble on, even though you're weak.
[08:53] Mabel
    And you think that's okay.
[08:56] Mabel
    You must've been spoiled rotten.
[08:59] Mabel
    You weren't chosen because
    you were weak. That's all.
[09:06] Amyu
    Listen to you.
[09:11] Yifa
    Amyu...
[09:13] Amyu
    Hey, you two over there.
[09:15] Amyu
    Give me those practice swords.
[09:17] Students
    Huh?
[09:18] Students
    O-Okay.
[09:23] Amyu
    You must know how to use a sword,
    to be able to talk like that.
[09:30] Mabel
    What's the point of this?
[09:32] Amyu
    You're the one who picked the fight.
    Don't make me laugh.
[09:42] Seika
    That stance...
[09:44] Seika
    She's every bit as practiced as Amyu.
[09:48] Seika
    So she can use a sword?
[09:50] Yifa
    S-Seika, shouldn't we stop them?
[09:54] Seika
    It's fine.
[09:56] Seika
    Neither of them is that into this.
[09:58] Seika
    I'll stop them if I have to.
[10:00] Seika
    And it's a good opportunity for me
    to witness Mabel's strength.
[10:05] Amyu
    Seika, give the signal.
[10:07] Seika
    Okay.
[10:09] Seika
    Now... begin.
[10:15] Amyu
    She blocked?
[10:27] Yifa
    Amyu...
[10:45] Mabel
    Just keep letting them spoil you.
[10:48] Mabel
    Pretty little hero.
[10:52] Amyu
    We weren't supposed to use magic, were we?
[10:55] Amyu
    At least, I thought we weren't.
[10:58] Seika
    So Amyu saw it, too, then.
[11:01] Seika
    That's dark magic.
[11:04] Mabel
    You think you'll get another shot.
[11:06] Mabel
    That's why you're weak.
[11:10] Mabel
    And you, too.
[11:11] Mabel
    If you won't take this seriously,
    you need to forfeit now.
[11:15] Seika
    And why's that?
[11:17] Mabel
    This won't be the kind of tournament
    where nobody gets hurt.
[11:21] Seika
    Thanks. I'll think about it.
[11:29] Yifa
    Amyu, are you hurt?
[11:31] Seika
    You okay?
[11:37] Amyu
    Okay, I've decided.
[11:42] Seika
    A while after that,
[11:45] Seika
    I found myself in a carriage with
    Mabel heading for the capital.
[11:54] Seika
    What are you two doing here?
[11:57] Yifa
    I'm your servant!
[12:00] Yifa
    I have to go with you!
[12:02] Seika
    Well, you, I get, but...
[12:04] Amyu
    What, do you have a problem with it?
[12:07] Seika
    Did you get permission from the school?
[12:11] Seika
    You didn't, did you?
[12:13] Amyu
    Who cares?
[12:15] Amyu
    I've never been to the capital and
    I might not get another chance.
[12:21] Seika
    She says that, but her real
    goal is to watch the fight.
[12:24] Seika
    She's curious to see how Mabel fights.
[12:27] Seika
    She's got a stubborn
    streak in her, after all.
[12:30] Seika
    Where will you sleep?
[12:31] Amyu
    In Yifa's room, of course.
[12:38] Yifa
    Seika, are you okay in the carriage?
[12:41] Seika
    No.
[12:44] Amyu
    Are you carriage-sick?
[12:45] Mabel
    Pathetic.
[12:49] Amyu
    You don't show a lot of respect
    for your upperclassmen, do you?
[12:53] Mabel
    Skill's all that matters in the academy.
[12:55] Mabel
    That's what I was told.
[12:57] Mabel
    And I'm the same age as you.
[13:00] Amyu
    That's rare.
[13:02] Amyu
    A noble joining the school a year late...
[13:05] Amyu
    We're all the same age, then.
[13:08] Yifa
    Um, I started late, too, so I'm
    a year older than all of you.
[13:13] Amyu
    You did?
[13:15] Amyu
    Wow, you're older than me?
[13:18] Amyu
    Well, that explains that.
[13:20] Amyu
    What are you staring at, Amyu?
[13:23] Amyu
    I guess they do get bigger
    as you get older, huh?
[13:24] Mabel
    How annoying.
[13:25] Yifa
    Aww, don't joke around like that.
[13:25] Mabel
    Everyone at the academy's like this.
[13:29] Seika
    Like what?
[13:30] Amyu
    I wish you'd share some with me.
[13:30] Mabel
    Children without a care in the world.
[13:33] Seika
    Well, we are kids.
[13:36] Seika
    What's wrong with that?
[13:37] Mabel
    What's wrong is that you
    see nothing wrong with it.
[13:40] Seika
    That's...
[13:41] Mabel
    What?
[13:43] Seika
    No, nothing.
[13:46] Seika
    I'll keep my mouth shut.
[13:48] Seika
    She's right.
[13:51] Mabel
    Just so we're clear, you're one of them.
[13:55] Seika
    Yup.
[13:57] Seika
    You may be right.
[14:07] Yifa
    Look at all the people!
[14:09] Amyu
    I've never seen such a tall building!
[14:12] Amyu
    Anyway, is he okay?
[14:18] Yifa
    Seika, why not head straight for the
    inn instead of the combat grounds?
[14:24] Seika
    I'm okay...
[14:25] Seika
    I'm not! I'm going to hurl!
[14:28] Seika
    I want to see the pairings
    for the tournament.
[14:31] Seika
    Huh? Where's Mabel?
[14:33] Yifa
    You're right... She's not here.
[14:35] Amyu
    She just disappeared without a word?
[14:38] Seika
    Well, let's leave her be for a while.
[14:41] Yifa
    Seika, are you okay?
[14:42] Seika
    Yeah.
[14:43] Amyu
    We'll have to walk a ways
    to the combat grounds.
[14:46] Amyu
    This carriage can't travel within the walls.
[14:49] Amyu
    Want to call a cab?
[14:51] Seika
    Are you trying to kill me?
[14:54] Amyu
    So this is where it's held.
[14:56] Seika
    Yup.
[14:57] Seika
    But right now, I'm just
    here to look at the board.
[14:59] Seika
    Hmm, where's my name?
[15:02] Seika
    Here.
[15:03] Seika
    So if both Mabel and I win,
    we'll face each other in the semi-finals?
[15:08] Seika
    I thought they put deliberate
    thought into the brackets.
[15:12] Seika
    But they've got two people from the same
    school fighting in the semi-finals.
[15:16] Yifa
    Any names you recognize, Amyu?
[15:19] Amyu
    Nope.
[15:20] Amyu
    No famous adventurer's going to
    appear in a tournament like this.
[15:24] Seika
    I've seen what I wanted to see.
[15:25] Seika
    I'm going to get some rest at the inn.
[15:27] Yifa
    Yeah? I'll go with you, then.
[15:29] Seika
    No, it's fine.
[15:31] Seika
    I'll just lie down.
[15:33] Seika
    Why don't you two explore
    the city until evening?
[15:36] Yifa
    But...
[15:37] Amyu
    Yifa, sometimes men want to be alone.
[15:42] Amyu
    It's a little light out, though.
[15:45] Yifa
    Y-Yeah?
[15:46] Seika
    Hey, don't give her weird ideas.
[15:49] Amyu
    I'm joking.
[15:50] Amyu
    He's being nice enough to offer.
[15:52] Amyu
    Let's go, Yifa.
[15:53] Amyu
    If Seika and the new girl
    lose in the first round,
[15:56] Amyu
    we'll have to go home right away.
[16:00] Yifa
    Okay, Seika. I'll buy something
    for you to eat on the way back.
[16:03] Seika
    Okay, thanks.
[16:05] Seika
    Now then, time to look into why the
    academy chose to send me, not Amyu.
[16:17] MC
    It's time!
[16:19] MC
    The prestigious Capital
    Sword Fighting Tournament,
[16:22] MC
    now the Capital Mixed Disciplines Combat
    Tournament, is about to begin!
[16:26] MC
    The rules have been changed this
    year to allow for the use of magic,
[16:31] MC
    and approximately half of
    the entrants are mages!
[16:36] MC
    A competitor loses if incapacitated,
    knocked out of the ring, or they surrender.
[16:41] MC
    The basis for the judges'
    decisions are unchanged,
[16:43] MC
    with one new addition:
    the destruction of your amulet.
[16:47] Seika
    They take damage in place of their owner,
[16:50] Seika
    and break when too much is absorbed, huh?
[16:53] Seika
    The organizers probably intend to use this
    to keep there from being casualties, but...
[16:58] MC
    I'll now introduce our first contestant!
[17:03] MC
    The genius child of the legendary
    Lamprogue clan of mages!
[17:06] MC
    Seika Lamprogue!
[17:13] MC
    We've got our first mage!
[17:17] MC
    His opponent will be the Mad Dog Speedster,
    from the Garlz Mercenary Band,
[17:23] MC
    Dennis Regan!
[17:27] MC
    He's a pure swordsman, and the
    best the Garlz Mercenary Band has!
[17:33] MC
    A former noble who was disowned by
    Viscount Regan for his misbehavior...
[17:37] MC
    Does he still use the family
    name to aggravate his father?
[17:41] Dennis
    Hey, kid.
[17:42] Dennis
    I'm a lucky guy, getting to beat the shit
    out of a noble brat in the first round.
[17:48] Dennis
    Yeah, you don't need to say a word.
[17:50] Dennis
    I know I'm a shithead, and I don't care.
[17:54] MC
    Mage versus swordsman!
[17:56] MC
    A match-up that represents
    this whole tournament!
[17:59] MC
    What kind of match do they
    have in store for us?
[18:02] Dennis
    Mages are nice and easy to deal with.
[18:05] Dennis
    They can't do anything without
    someone protecting them.
[18:07] Dennis
    I can kill a mage 10 times before
    he finishes chanting his dumb spell.
[18:13] Seika
    I'm not in good shape today.
[18:17] Seika
    My head hurts.
[18:18] Dennis
    What, are you already making
    excuses for when you lose?
[18:22] Seika
    No. I'm saying I'll end this quick.
[18:26] MC
    Match one, round one, begins!
[18:29] Dennis
    Die!
[18:33] Seika
    Bye.
[18:35] Seika
    Phase of sun.
[18:37] Seika
    Spell of Internal Release.
[18:47] MC
    I-It's over!
[18:48] MC
    The winner is Seika Lamprogue!
[18:52] Amyu/Yifa
    Yay!
[18:54] MC
    What did we just witness?
[18:55] MC
    He dodged Dennis's charge
    at a speed too fast to see,
[18:59] MC
    and blew him away in the next instant!
[19:02] MC
    Was that some kind of magic?
[19:04] Seika
    He probably won't die from that.
[19:07] Seika
    I'll have to be more careful, though.
[19:08] Seika
    Well, he wasn't going to hold back,
    either, so I don't really care.
[19:16] Yuki
    Seika, how many matches do you intend to win?
[19:21] Seika
    I'll decide at some point.
[19:22] Yuki
    It's fine to have some fun,
[19:24] Yuki
    but I think it's a bad idea
    to stand out too much here.
[19:28] Yuki
    You've been getting careless lately.
[19:32] Seika
    I know, I know.
[19:34] Yuki
    And aren't you using too many
    shiki at once, even for you?
[19:39] Yuki
    I'm worried.
[19:41] Seika
    No, it's needed.
[19:44] Seika
    It's more important than
    the tournament, actually.
[19:52] Seika
    Okay, all clear.
[19:56] Yifa
    Seika!
[19:57] Amyu
    Congratulations on your first win!
[19:59] Seika
    Yeah, thanks for cheering me on.
[20:02] MC
    Okay, let's welcome our next entrant!
[20:04] MC
    Belem, the finest student of Sage Ford.
[20:08] MC
    Sage Ford is famous for his many
    successes as a water mage...
[20:13] MC
    What kind of magic will
    Belem show us today?
[20:17] MC
    His opponent is Kyle, a guard from
    the Rugrock Merchants Association!
[20:23] MC
    We have very little information about him!
[20:26] MC
    From his strange appearance, it's hard to even
    say if he's either a mage or a swordsman...
[20:30] MC
    What techniques will he use?
[20:32] MC
    Let's find out!
[20:34] MC
    Let the match begin!
[20:36] Belem
    Here I go!
[20:41] Seika
    What?
[20:42] MC
    What just happened?
[20:44] MC
    Belem's not moving at all.
[20:47] MC
    Kyle is slowly approaching.
[20:51] Seika
    His face is twisted with fear.
[21:11] MC
    Belem has been incapacitated!
[21:13] MC
    The winner is Kyle!
[21:15] MC
    We have our first fatality of the tournament!
[21:18] MC
    But what did we just see?
[21:20] MC
    I'm curious why Kyle didn't make
    any attempt to stop his sword...
[21:24] MC
    But what strange event
    did we all just witness?
[21:29] Amyu
    You're kidding me...
[21:32] Seika
    They're all so excited.
[21:33] Seika
    I guess even in this world,
    people like watching others die.
[21:38] Seika
    His expression hasn't changed.
[21:40] Seika
    He's a veteran killer.
[21:43] Seika
    They said he was a Rugrock
    Merchants Association guard,
[21:46] Seika
    but that's almost certainly a lie.
[21:47] Seika
    He's probably someone with a dark
    history, sent from who-knows-where.
[21:51] Amyu
    His opponent couldn't move a muscle.
[21:55] Seika
    I guess they exist in this world, too...
[21:57] Seika
    Casters who put spiritual power into
    their gaze and curse hose they look...
[22:02] Seika
    Bearers of the Evil Eye.
