*Being X...*
**[00:06] Narrator**
How does it feel to fight the entire world?
**[00:12] Narrator**
*So it was his doing, after all...*
**[00:15] Narrator**
*Why...*
**[00:16] Narrator**
*Why did this happen?*
**[00:18] Narrator**
*Damn it!*
**[00:19] Narrator**
*It all went wrong back then.*
**[00:21] Narrator**
*Yes, that's when it all started.*

**[00:41] Man**
*I'm aware of my deficiencies as a human.*
**[00:45] Man**
* My personality is twisted in various ways,*
* and I have every complex imaginable.*
**[00:50] Narrator**
*But...*
**[00:51] Narrator**
* Obeying company rules is*
* the easiest thing in the world.*
**[00:55] Narrator**
* I can ride the rails right to*
* the department chief's chair.*
**[00:58] Narrator**
*And life will become nice and easy.*
**[01:07] Narrator**
*At least, that was the plan...*
**[01:12] Narrator**
*What?*
**[01:14] Narrator**
*What happened?*
**[01:17] Narrator**
Apparently, you lack faith.
**[01:20] Narrator**
And not a trace of faith in the Creator.
**[01:24] Narrator**
The Creator?
**[01:26] Narrator**
I'm sorry to say this,
**[01:28] Narrator**
but I reject God's existence, from both
realistic and rational perspectives.
**[01:34] Narrator**
In a world with advanced science,
where one's needs are met,
**[01:37] Narrator**
there will be no faith.
**[01:39] Narrator**
Only the weak, when they're in
dire straits, cling to someone.
**[01:45] Narrator**
So, basically,
**[01:46] Narrator**
if I put you
**[01:46] Narrator**
into the "dire straits"
**[01:48] Narrator**
you speak of,
**[01:49] Narrator**
your faith
**[01:50] Narrator**
will awaken?
**[01:51] Narrator**
C-Calm down!
**[01:54] Narrator**
Try to live as long as you can.
**[01:57] Narrator**
If you die again,
**[01:59] Narrator**
there will be no second reincarnation.
**[02:03] Narrator**
W-Wait—
**[02:15] Narrator**
* As a result of my absurd*
* reincarnation by Being X,*
***SIGN*** Unified Year 1913, Outskirts of Imperial Capital Berun
**[02:19] Narrator**
* I was abandoned in a poor nunnery*
* in another world.*
**[02:23] Narrator**

* the madness that precedes war.*
***SIGN*** Destroy the Enemies of the Fatherland
**[02:29] Narrator**
*In a time when war seemed unavoidable,*
**[02:33] Narrator**
* I'd thought it would be impossible for*
* a poor, powerless girl to survive.*
**[02:38] Narrator**
* But in that world,*
* the power of magic did exist.*
**[02:43] Narrator**
*And during the orphanage's physical,*
**[02:46] Narrator**
*my magical aptitude was noted.*
**[02:49] Narrator**
* The army always conscripted*
* those with aptitude as mages.*
***SIGN*** Tanya Degurechaff Magical Aptitude A
**[02:56] Narrator**
* And if I were going to be*

**[02:58] Narrator**
* it made more sense to volunteer,*

**[03:01] Narrator**
*and attempt to get onto a career path.*
**[03:08] Narrator**
New soldiers, welcome to hell.
**[03:11] Narrator**
* The Imperial military was a*
* champion of meritocracy,*
**[03:14] Narrator**
*and in less than a year,*
**[03:16] Narrator**
* I was entrusted with training*
* the second-class students.*
**[03:19] Narrator**
I don't expect anything from you maggots.
**[03:22] Narrator**
But at least don't drive me to despair!
**[03:25] Narrator**
You little brat—
**[03:30] Narrator**
*There were minor issues.*
**[03:32] Narrator**
*But afterward, I finished my training.*
***SIGN*** Northern Theater Force Garrison
**[03:35] Narrator**
* The only thing missing before*
* graduation was to finish*
**[03:38] Narrator**
*my training deployment in the North.*
**[03:43] Narrator**
*But it was there that I learned...*
**[03:45] Narrator**
*The unexpected can happen in any world.*
**[03:51] Narrator**
Emission signatures!
**[03:52] Narrator**
Enemy mage group detected!
**[03:55] Narrator**
Only scratched her, huh?
**[03:56] Narrator**
Permission to leave battlefield immediately.
**[03:58] Narrator**
*Unfortunately, we can't permit that.*
**[04:00] Narrator**
*Delay the enemy.*
**[04:05] ---**
*It was me versus an entire enemy company.*
**[04:09] ---**
* Faced with the enemy, I had to choose*
* between flight, honorable death, or...*
**[04:16] ---**
Gotcha.
**[04:21] ---**
Get away!
**[04:24] ---**
*Making it seem you fought hard,*
**[04:26] ---**
* while leaving the battlefield*
* in a natural way.*
**[04:29] ---**
* That is the best way to protect*
* yourself and survive...*
**[04:35] ---**
Second Lieutenant Tanya Degurechaff.
***SIGN*** Medical Room
**[04:37] ---**
During the battle with the Entente Alliance,
**[04:39] ---**
*Not good...*
**[04:40] ---**
you detained the enemy until
reinforcements arrived.
**[04:41] ---**
*I didn't think they'd be so impressed.*
**[04:45] ---**
*They're treating me like an ace.*
**[04:49] ---**
We award you the Silver Wings Assault Badge.
**[04:56] ---**
* But I hope they don't use this as an excuse*
* to send me to the front lines.*
***SIGN*** Commander's Office
**[05:01] ---**
Second Lieutenant Degurechaff,
here are your deployment orders.
**[05:04] ---**
Head to the General Supply Staff.
**[05:07] ---**
Is this for technology testing?
**[05:11] ---**
Yes, they need you to test
a new type of computation jewel.
**[05:15] ---**
I understand.
**[05:18] ---**
* My long-held dream of a safe,*
* rear-echelon deployment...*
**[05:22] ---**
* No, there wasn't going to be*
* any problem at all.*
**[05:26] ---**
Elenium Type-95?
**[05:28] ---**
By synchronizing four computation jewel cores,
**[05:31] ---**
this prototype grants revolutionary abilities.
**[05:34] ---**
It uses tremendous magical energy,
**[05:36] ---**
but with the amount you have,
that shouldn't be a problem.
**[05:39] ---**
*There are all kinds of problems!*
**[05:41] ---**
These crystals aren't stable at all.
**[05:43] ---**
If this keeps up, they'll explode again!
**[05:44] ---**
*If this keeps up, they'll explode again!*
**[05:46] ---**
Can't you go any higher?!
**[05:48] ---**
Doctor?!
**[05:50] ---**
Theoretically, you should be able
to reach 18,000 meters!
**[05:54] ---**
A standard computation jewel's
maximum altitude is 6,000!
**[05:57] ---**
The load is within acceptable parameters!
**[05:59] ---**
Those are theoretical numbers!
**[06:01] ---**
For use as military-grade items,
keep durability in mind!
**[06:05] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[06:06] ---**
* That would ruin the jewel's*
* optimized synchronization!*
**[06:09] ---**
I don't know when this
defective junk will explode!
**[06:19] ---**
*I am done with this crap!*
**[06:20] ---**
* This thing's as defective as*
* an Italian Red Devil!*
**[06:25] ---**
* And after ten years,*
* I was reunited with Being X.*
**[06:32] ---**
This is a serious problem.
**[06:35] ---**
You haven't developed even
the tiniest bit of faith.
**[06:38] ---**
B-Being X...
**[06:41] ---**
Indeed.
**[06:42] ---**
Your attitude is as unacceptable as ever.
**[06:45] ---**
Perhaps I should give you a blessing.
**[06:49] ---**
A blessing?
**[06:53] ---**
A miracle.
**[06:54] ---**
Miracles are illusions caused by
insufficient observation and understanding.
**[07:02] ---**
Glorious misunderstandings.
**[07:08] ---**
I don't know about that.
**[07:17] ---**
In the last experiment before my transfer,
**[07:20] ---**
he got me again!
**[07:24] ---**
Lieutenant, are you ready?
**[07:28] ---**
Second Lieutenant Tanya
Degurechaff, taking off!
**[07:39] ---**
The jewel's synchronization is unstable.
**[07:41] ---**
It's going to explode!
**[07:43] ---**
Irregularity in energy coefficients.
They're going out of control.
**[07:45] ---**
Is this...
**[07:48] ---**
This is a good opportunity, right?
**[07:50] ---**
Let us both pray to God!
**[07:54] ---**
You set me up, Being X!
**[08:05] ---**
I have blessed your computation jewel
**[08:07] ---**
and performed a miracle.
**[08:09] ---**
A miracle?
**[08:10] ---**
You call strapping a bomb to me a miracle?!
**[08:14] ---**
Now, you must pray to God
**[08:16] ---**
each time you use your computation jewel.
**[08:20] ---**
You vile piece of shit!
**[08:22] ---**
Go now,
**[08:24] ---**
and spread the name of God.
**[08:29] ---**
God's miracles are great.
**[08:32] ---**
Praise the Lord
**[08:34] ---**
and his worthy name.
**[09:01] ---**
What did I...
**[09:04] ---**
Did I just pray?
**[09:06] ---**
To that thing?!
**[09:07] ---**
I never thought it would actually work.
**[09:09] ---**
I knew it... God is real.
***SIGN*** Unified Year 1924, Rhine Theater
**[09:25] ---**
* With the double-edged sword called*
* the Elenium-95 and a bunch of raw recruits,*
**[09:31] ---**
* I was sent west to fight on*
* the Rhine Theater's front lines.*
**[09:38] ---**
A mage?
**[09:44] ---**
What are you doing, Visha?
**[09:48] ---**
We can't provide air support anymore!
**[09:58] ---**
An explosion spell...
**[10:02] ---**
How much longer will reinforcements take?
**[10:04] ---**
*The 205th Mage Company is en route.*
**[10:07] ---**
Company Commander,
we only have one platoon.
**[10:10] ---**
We can't fight a whole company.
**[10:13] ---**
Our enemy is on an exhausting,
long-range mission.
**[10:16] ---**
There's a good chance we can win.
**[10:20] ---**
* But I guess losing new troops already*
* would hurt my promotion chances.*
**[10:27] ---**
You are to provide support.
**[10:29] ---**
I'll go ahead and destroy three platoons.
**[10:32] ---**
Man, it's rough being a salaryman.
**[10:35] ---**
S-Salary...?
**[10:38] ---**
I pray unto God.
**[10:41] ---**
Lord, save my Fatherland.
**[10:50] ---**
As the documents you see on
Second Lieutenant Degurechaff state...
**[10:54] ---**
After contributing to development
of a new computation jewel,
**[10:56] ---**
she was sent on emergency deployment
to the Rhine theater.
**[10:59] ---**
While in the Rhine theater, she wiped out
an entire enemy mage company on her own.
**[11:03] ---**
And she's still carrying out
assault missions there?
**[11:09] ---**
She's the ideal soldier.
**[11:15] Tanya**
* "Second Lieutenant Degurechaff,*
* you are hereby promoted to First Lieutenant*
**[11:19] ---**
*and are to attend the military academy."*
**[11:22] ---**
* This is the second time I can remember*
* that I've been to university...*
**[11:26] ---**
*I'll get a nice easy job studying at the rear!*
**[11:31] ---**
Be seated.
**[11:33] ---**
Yes, sir. Excuse me.
**[11:36] ---**
Actually, I wanted to ask you something.
**[11:40] ---**
What do you think the next
developments in the war will be?
**[11:44] ---**
I'm certain that this war
will grow into a world war.
**[11:50] ---**
A world war?
**[11:51] ---**
A global war.
**[11:53] ---**
An interesting opinion.
**[11:55] ---**
How would you handle it?
**[11:56] ---**
By limiting our losses while
shedding enemy blood,
**[11:59] ---**
I believe the Empire would
win in the long run.
**[12:03] ---**
Do you have a practical plan?
**[12:05] ---**
I would suggest a combination
**[12:07] ---**
of defensive infantry tactics and
offensive strategies with mages.
**[12:10] ---**
Mages are powerful,
but there aren't many of them.
**[12:15] ---**
I agree.
**[12:16] ---**
Mages excel in firepower and agility.
**[12:18] ---**
They're ideal for hunting enemy forces.
**[12:21] ---**
In the sense that you win the battle
while limiting your losses,
**[12:26] ---**
I believe this may be the best use of mages.
**[12:31] ---**
Interesting.
**[12:33] ---**
I'll look into it.

**[12:50] Narrator**
Thank you so much for inviting me today.
**[12:54] Narrator**
We've asked you here to discuss
your post-graduation deployment.
**[12:59] Narrator**
First Lieutenant Degurechaff,
**[13:01] Narrator**
I intend to put you in charge of
a new rapid-response mage battalion.
**[13:07] Narrator**
A battalion?!
**[13:10] Narrator**
* Leading a rapid-response battalion is*
* a bigger risk than the front lines!*
**[13:14] Narrator**
B-But I'm only a first lieutenant.
**[13:17] Narrator**
I'm not qualified to command a battalion.
**[13:20] Narrator**
Don't worry. Everything's been arranged.
**[13:31] Narrator**
That's a very enticing offer.
**[13:33] Narrator**
*Why?*
**[13:35] Narrator**
*Why did this happen?*
**[13:37] Narrator**
*Damn it!*
**[13:39] Narrator**
* I'll have to take as much time as possible*

I only sent out that

**[13:52] Narrator**
Mages are the elite, aren't they?
**[13:54] Narrator**
Shouldn't they want
the best jobs they can get?

I made it clear in the notice
that this would be a terrible job...

I can't go through all this
stuff by myself, anyway.
**[14:10] Narrator**
Excuse me.
**[14:15] Narrator**
What are you doing here?
**[14:18] Narrator**
It's been a while, Captain Degurechaff!
**[14:21] Narrator**
You're my assistant?
**[14:24] Narrator**
Yes.
**[14:25] Narrator**
It seems I was assigned this post because
I already knew you, and we're both women.
**[14:30] Narrator**
Gee, the brass sure is being
awfully considerate.
**[14:33] Narrator**
Actually, Strategic HQ just sent a demand
that we speed up the selection.
**[14:39] Narrator**
Only twelve people have passed.
**[14:42] Narrator**
That's only enough for a company.
**[14:44] Narrator**
You'll have to lower
the standards for passing.
**[14:47] Narrator**
Then I'll need time for reeducation and
to devise an acceptable new standard.
**[14:53] Narrator**
How long, exactly?
**[14:56] Narrator**
A month.
**[14:58] Narrator**
Only a month?
**[15:00] Narrator**
Training a new soldier takes two years.
**[15:03] Narrator**
I don't care.
**[15:04] Narrator**
Reeducate them, even if you
have to get a little rough.

Leave it to me.

Some of you will not come back.

**[17:17] ---**
Understood.
**[17:22] ---**
A message from the battalion commander!
**[17:25] ---**
It is time for war, everyone.
**[17:29] ---**
No, something merely similar to war.
**[17:33] ---**
We've been given a bunch of targets
for a live-fire training exercise.
**[17:36] ---**
You may choose to shoot them
**[17:39] ---**
or to destroy them with spells.
**[17:42] ---**
Very well, gentlemen.
**[17:43] ---**
It's time for some sports!
**[17:58] ---**
A live-fire exercise is
an apt way to describe this.
**[18:02] ---**
It's basically a bunch of scarecrows.
**[18:04] ---**
If we miss, we'll be a laughingstock.
**[18:06] ---**
Penetrating spells... Fire!
**[18:11] ---**
Drop grenades!
**[18:17] ---**
Then we'll let our allies annihilate
the enemy, and we'll advance.
**[18:21] ---**
Where will we go?
**[18:22] ---**
The capital.
**[18:24] ---**
This is our chance. Let's attack.
**[18:26] ---**
Second Lieutenant,
**[18:27] ---**
we aren't the kind of barbarians
who'd ignore international wartime law.
**[18:32] ---**
In adherence to the laws the ethicists made,
**[18:35] ---**
we must destroy nothing but the enemy factory
and warn them to evacuate.
**[18:41] ---**
We swear that we will conduct a fair war,
**[18:47] ---**
in accordance with international law!
**[18:52] ---**
We warn you now!

The Imperial Army is about to launch
an attack on your military facility!
**[18:59] ---**
Wonderful!
**[19:01] ---**
They seem to think it's a kid's prank!
**[19:04] ---**
Now, everyone,
**[19:05] ---**
we have fulfilled our duty
under international law.
**[19:08] ---**
Let's get to work.
**[19:11] ---**
In God's name, bring down his wrath on
all who would violate the Fatherland.
**[19:18] ---**

hit the forward units.
**[20:05] ---**
We'll take out the rear units and bombers.
**[20:08] ---**
Then we'll launch a pincer
attack from the rear.
**[20:11] ---**
However, while your job is to delay them,
**[20:14] ---**
there isn't any need to wait for me.
**[20:16] ---**
Feel free to defeat them all.
**[20:20] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[20:23] ---**
Now, Company 1, gain altitude.
**[20:26] ---**
We'll go around and knock out
the two rear companies.
**[20:37] ---**
Prepare for close-quarters combat!
**[20:39] ---**
We'll wipe out the enemy's forward units!
**[20:48] ---**
The enemy's computation jewels
are better than expected.
**[20:51] ---**
Don't get cocky!
**[21:00] ---**
They're fast.
**[21:05] ---**
They can hit accurately with
this altitude difference?
**[21:08] ---**
Seems like it's those foreign mages.
**[21:11] ---**
They're tougher than we'd thought.
**[21:13] ---**
* So, everyone, how are you*
* enjoying a real war?*
**[21:18] ---**
The other day's battle against Dakia
was just a live-fire exercise.
**[21:21] ---**
I want to let you fight to your
heart's content this time,
**[21:24] ---**
so I turned down reinforcements.
**[21:27] ---**
Be proud. You've been given a chance
to pass a trial of iron and fire.
**[21:33] ---**
It's them! The bombers!
**[21:36] ---**
They're finally here, huh?
**[21:39] ---**
Guess I'll work enough to earn my salary.
**[21:48] ---**
Bring down the hammer of
your wrath from Heaven.
**[22:02] ---**
Mayday! Mayday!
**[22:03] ---**
This is—
**[22:15] ---**
Pixie 01 to all units.
**[22:17] ---**
Begin your pincer attack
on the remaining mages.
**[22:20] ---**
I'm going to recover prisoners
from the prey I shot down.
**[22:27] ---**
I wanted to get some information from them,
**[22:29] ---**
but I can't just cut out their brain
and take it.
**[22:36] ---**
It's a joyous thing.
**[22:41] ---**
Everyone in this world is out for
your blood, you of so little faith.
**[22:47] ---**
A great crusade to punish
the blasphemer has begun.
**[22:52] ---**
Being X...
**[22:54] ---**
I knew you were screwing with me!
**[22:56] ---**
How does it feel to fight the entire world?
**[23:05] ---**
Damn it!
**[23:06] ---**
I'll show you!
