**[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.*
