[00:38] Gaius
    It's simply no use.
[00:40] Gaius
    My crest has no room left to grow.
[00:46] Gaius
    The first crest, my crest,
    specializes in creation.
[00:50] Gaius
    The second specializes in power.
[00:53] Gaius
    The third specializes in rapid firing.
[00:57] Gaius
    If I want to grow stronger,
[01:00] Gaius
    I must acquire the fourth crest,
    the one best suited to combat.
[01:05] Gaius
    One's crest appears at birth
    and cannot be changed.
[01:09] Gaius
    Which means...

[01:37] Peddler
    We'll be reaching the capital soon.
[01:40] Peddler
    Impressive that you're leaving home
    and taking exams at age twelve.
[01:46] Matt
    I'm determined to enter the academy
    and become strong.
[01:49] Peddler
    It's not safe to go too quickly.
[01:51] Peddler
    You might have been a big fish
    where you came from,
[01:53] Peddler
    but that crest of yours...
[01:57] Matt
    There's a monster nearby.
[01:59] Matt
    It's heading our way.
[02:00] Peddler
    Eh?
[02:01] Peddler
    It might be a rather large monster.
[02:04] Peddler
    Many times bigger than your wagon.
[02:06] Peddler
    You say the strangest things.
[02:10] Peddler
    That would make it
    a calamity-grade monster.
[02:22] Matt
    Dispatch successful.
[02:25] Matt
    Easily handled with just Enhance Physique
    and Sunder Steel.
[02:50] Matt
    That's the capital for you...
[02:52] Matt
    Completely unlike my homeland.
[02:54] Alma
    My friend's sword broke!
[02:56] Alma
    Can you make me one just like it?
[02:59] Blacksmith
    Stop shouting! I hear you just fine!
[03:02] Alma
    I'm sorry.
[03:04] Alma
    But see... She broke her magic sword
    while protecting me from a monster.
[03:09] Blacksmith
    Magic sword?
[03:10] Blacksmith
    And you want me to remake a magic sword?
[03:12] Blacksmith
    You can't possibly be serious!
[03:15] Alma
    Isn't there anything you can do?
[03:18] Blacksmith
    I'm afraid you're out of luck.
[03:20] Matt
    These weapons are well made...
[03:22] Matt
    Though the enchantments are poorly applied.
[03:25] Matt
    Are there any other swords?
[03:26] Blacksmith
    It simply can't be done.
[03:28] Alma
    I'm begging you!
[03:30] Alma
    The entrance exams are tomorrow!
[03:32] Alma
    If I don't get her a sword, she'll—
[03:33] Blacksmith
    If you need it that fast,
    you might have better luck elsewhere.
[03:37] Blacksmith
    It's not as if I can forge
    a magic sword by myself.
[03:41] Alma
    We've tried everyone else already!
[03:43] Blacksmith
    Would one of our ready-made swords do?
[03:45] Alma
    Hmm...
[03:47] Alma
    It should be about this long,
[03:49] Alma
    and light enough that a girl can swing it
    around like this with one hand!
[03:53] Blacksmith
    A sword like that
    certainly would have to be enchanted...
[03:58] Blacksmith
    But it won't be easy to make.
[04:01] Matt
    I can handle the enchantment.
[04:03] Alma
    You can?
[04:05] Blacksmith
    Look, kid...
    I get that you want to show off...
[04:08] Blacksmith
    But it can't be done,
    and she needs to accept that.
[04:12] Matt
    It's true that my fourth crest
    isn't well suited to enchantments.
[04:17] Matt
    But I think I can handle
    a basic magic sword.
[04:19] Blacksmith
    Isn't that the Crest of Failure?
[04:22] Blacksmith
    All the more impossible, then.
[04:24] Alma
    Make me a sword!
[04:28] Alma
    One with a setting for a magistone.
[04:30] Blacksmith
    Wait, you mean—
[04:33] Alma
    I'm going to put my faith in him.
[04:35] Blacksmith
    A-Are you sure?
[04:37] Blacksmith
    If he fails, the sword will be fine,
[04:39] Blacksmith
    but you'll have wasted a magistone.
[04:41] Alma
    I still think he can do it.
[04:43] Alma
    I've got good instincts
    about these things!
[04:48] Alma
    Let's get on that enchantment, kid!
[04:55] Alma
    Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.
[04:58] Alma
    I'm Alma. Alma Lepucius.
[05:01] Alma
    I didn't want my parents
    marrying me off to some weirdo,
[05:04] Alma
    so I set off on my own!
[05:06] Matt
    I'm Matthias. Matthias Hildesheimer.
[05:10] Matt
    You can call me "Matty."
[05:12] Alma
    Sure! It's a pleasure, Matty!
[05:16] Alma
    Oh, right! I've got a friend!
[05:18] Alma
    The sword is hers.
    We left home together!
[05:22] Lurie
    Alma?
[05:24] Alma
    Speak of the devil!
[05:26] Alma
    Lurie!
[05:26] Lurie
    Alma. Did you have any luck
    at this shop?
[05:32] Matt
    Sh-She's beautiful!
[05:34] Lurie
    I'm afraid every shop I tried
    turned me down...
[05:36] Lurie
    It simply might not be possible
    to make a magic sword by tomo—
[05:39] Alma
    Oh, this guy? He's Matty!
[05:41] Alma
    He said he'd enchant a sword for us!
[05:45] Matt
    A-Allow me to introduce myself!
[05:47] Matt
    I am humbly referred to
    as Matthias Hildesheimer!
[05:49] Alma
    Where'd the formality come from?
[05:54] Matt
    Was my introduction that off-putting?
[05:56] Matt
    This is what I get
    for never having friends!
[06:00] Alma
    What's wrong, Lurie?
[06:03] Lurie
    I-I'm Lurie Abendroth!
[06:05] Lurie
    I'm neither engaged
    nor romantically involved.
[06:08] Lurie
    You may call me "Lurie," if you wish...
[06:12] Matt
    "Romantically involved"?
[06:13] Lurie
    Um... well...
[06:16] Matt
    I had no idea it was customary here
    to reveal your relationship status.
[06:22] Blacksmith
    It's all done!
[06:25] Matt
    I'll begin the enchantment.
[06:28] Matt
    Could you hand me the magistone?
[06:30] Alma
    You can do it here?
[06:31] Matt
    It won't take that long.
[06:35] Matt
    I'm going to begin.
[06:36] Lurie
    P-Please do...
[06:39] Matt
    The only way to make something this long
    and light sturdy enough for live combat
[06:43] Matt
    is to add Enhance Fortitude
    and Sunder Steel.
[06:49] Matt
    That should do it.
[06:51] Matt
    Here, try it.
[06:52] Alma
    That was fast!
    Is it really enchanted?
[06:54] Blacksmith
    There's no way he could do it that fast.
[06:57] Alma
    Yeah, isn't it supposed to take way longer?
[07:00] Blacksmith
    And he didn't even recite an incantation!
[07:04] Lurie
    Let me try it.
[07:06] Lurie
    It's easy enough to tell if an enchantment—
[07:14] Lurie
    The enchantment worked!
[07:16] Alma
    That's crazy sharp!
[07:18] Blacksmith
    And it took him just moments...
[07:20] Blacksmith
    What trickery is this?
[07:22] Matt
    It's just a standard enchantment.
[07:24] Alma
    That's anything but "standard"!
[07:26] Alma
    Who in the world are you, Matty?
[07:29] Blacksmith
    It shouldn't be possible
    to enchant a sword that quickly.
[07:32] Blacksmith
    But the sword has clearly been enchanted,
[07:36] Blacksmith
    and you didn't recite an incantation.
[07:38] Blacksmith
    As I forged that sword myself,
[07:40] Blacksmith
    I'd know whether you swapped it out
    with sleight-of-hand.
[07:43] Blacksmith
    The only possible conclusion is...
[07:45] Alma
    Gulp!
[07:47] Lurie
    Is...?
[07:52] Blacksmith
    You wanna become an enchanter, kid?
[07:54] Matt
    Nope.
[07:58] ExaminerA
    The practical skills exam will now begin.
[08:01] ExaminerA
    Fields tested will include
    swordsmanship and casting.
[08:03] All
    Yes, sir!
[08:05] Lurie
    Matty!
[08:09] Lurie
    You're taking entrance exams, too?
[08:12] Matt
    Y-Yes...
[08:13] Alma
    The tactics portion was way too hard!
[08:16] Alma
    I did just fine in every other subject...
[08:21] Lurie
    Alma, Matty!
[08:23] Lurie
    Let's work together to pass the test!
[08:26] Matt
    Sure.
[08:27] Alma
    'Kay...
[08:30] Lukas
    You're wide open!
[08:36] Lukas
    You're doing quite well.
[08:38] Lukas
    But can you dodge this next one?
[08:42] Lukas
    S-S-Say what?!
[08:44] Lukas
    I surrender!
[08:46] Lukas
    Where did you get that sword?
[08:51] Lurie
    I did it, Matty!
[08:53] Alma
    Congratulations, Lurie!
[08:55] Lurie
    I couldn't have done it
    without that magic sword you made me!
[08:57] Matt
    I-It's nothing, really...
[08:59] ExaminerA
    Next up, Matthias Hildesheimer!
[09:02] Matt
    Seems to be my turn.
[09:04] Lurie
    Give it your best, Matty!
[09:06] Matt
    I will.
[09:07] Matt
    Wait, where's the examiner?
[09:10] Guile
    Matthias Hildesheimer...
[09:12] Guile
    I hear you're the one
    who enchanted Lurie Abendroth's sword.
[09:17] Matt
    And? Who are you?
[09:19] Guile
    You'll need more than an examiner, then...
[09:21] Guile
    I'll fight you myself.
[09:23] Guile
    I'd like to see
    what your father Castor taught you, as well.
[09:28] Matt
    You know my father?
[09:30] Guile
    Yes.
[09:31] Guile
    If you handle yourself
    well enough against me,
[09:33] Guile
    I'll vouch for you to pass,
    regardless of your other test scores.
[09:36] Matt
    Very well.
[09:42] Matt
    His stance leaves him wide open.
[09:44] Matt
    He thinks he's taking it easy on me.
[09:47] Matt
    That's also why he said,
    "If you handle yourself well enough."
[09:50] Matt
    I feel a bit insulted...
[09:53] Matt
    This is a test!
[09:55] Matt
    Its purpose is to show them
    what I can do!
[10:00] Guile
    What?
[10:01] Guile
    A boy your age, parrying my strike...
[10:13] Guile
    I surrender.
[10:15] ExaminerA
    Captain of the Knights' Order, Guile, lost...
[10:17] Alma
    Wow! Isn't he great, Lurie?
[10:20] Lurie
    Yes!
[10:21] Lurie
    Although it happened so quickly
    I couldn't quite follow!
[10:25] ExaminerD
    Next, we'll conduct the casting exam.
[10:28] ExaminerD
    Lurie Abendroth. Step forward!
[10:30] Lurie
    Yes, sir!
[10:31] ExaminerD
    Please attack all five targets
    with Fire Arrow!
[10:39] Lurie
    Magic of flame that dwells within me...
[10:41] Lurie
    Pierce my foe in the form of an arrow!
[10:47] Alma
    Lurie! Keep it up!
[10:49] Matt
    Incanted casting?
[10:51] Matt
    As the name suggests,
    it's a method for casting spells
[10:55] Matt
    through the recitation of particular words.
[10:56] Matt
    Anyone can use it regardless of ability,
[10:59] Matt
    but it offers a poor conversion rate
    on the user's magic power,
[11:03] Matt
    and you're vulnerable
    to attacks mid-chant.
[11:06] Matt
    They're not ideal for combat.
[11:07] Matt
    I'd thought the practice
    was long dead, but...
[11:09] Alma
    Yes!
[11:11] Student1
    That's the Crest of Glory!
    What an elite!
[11:13] Student2
    Wish I'd been born
    with the Crest of Glory, too...
[11:18] Matt
    But in this day and age,
[11:19] Matt
    the first crest, which is highly compatible
    with incanted casting,
[11:22] Matt
    is labeled the "Crest of Glory"
[11:24] Matt
    and considered the best crest
    for magical combat.
[11:28] Matt
    Meanwhile...
[11:30] Matt
    My fourth crest is...
[11:34] Matt
    Excuse me.
    Is Fire Arrow the only spell allowed?
[11:37] ExaminerD
    Not necessarily,
    but it's the most basic spell, so...
[11:43] ExaminerD
    You've got the Crest of Failure,
[11:44] ExaminerD
    but if you do well in the other subjects,
    you might still pass.
[11:47] Matt
    As long as I destroy the targets, correct?
[11:50] ExaminerD
    Well, yes...
[11:51] Matt
    "Crest of Failure" casting
    has extremely limited range.
[11:55] Matt
    I don't think I could even reach a third
    of the way to the target.
[12:00] Matt
    You might want to stand
    a bit farther away, sir.
[12:03] Crowd
    What?
[12:05] Crowd
    What's he doing?
[12:06] Matt
    I can assign it limited directionality,
[12:08] Matt
    but it won't be free of collateral damage.
[12:10] Alma
    H-How is he casting?
    He didn't recite an incantation!
[12:14] Lurie
    Could it be... a wordless spell?
[12:16] Matt
    Wordless casting is in decline,
[12:18] Matt
    and the fourth crest is scorned
    as the Crest of Failure.
[12:21] Matt
    That's the status quo in this day and age!
[12:35] Matt
    Oh...
[12:37] Matt
    I might have overdone it.
[12:44] Matt
    It fits perfectly.
[12:49] Alma
    Hey, Matty!
[12:59] Matt
    She looks beautiful
    in her uniform, too!
[13:04] Alma
    What's up, you two?
[13:06] Lurie
    Oh, I just—
[13:08] Matt
    Uh, we'd better hurry if we want
    to make the opening ceremony!
[13:13] Teach1
    The headmaster will now say a few words.
[13:18] Eduard
    I'm Eduard, the headmaster here.
[13:21] Eduard
    I despise long speeches.
[13:23] Alma
    He's the headmaster?
[13:23] Eduard
    As far as I'm concerned,
    formality is for First Academy!
[13:27] Eduard
    Here at my Second Academy,
    ability is everything!
[13:30] Eduard
    We don't care about lineage or crest
    the way First Academy does!
[13:35] Eduard
    Work on those skills, rookies!
[13:38] Eduard
    That is all!
[13:40] Lurie
    That certainly was short!
[13:43] Eduard
    I almost forgot...
[13:45] Eduard
    Matthias Hildesheimer.
[13:47] Eduard
    Drop by my office when this is over.
[13:53] Matt
    Why would the headmaster be calling for me?
[13:56] Matt
    Because I destroyed the grounds
    during the exam?
[13:58] Matt
    Is he going to expel me
    on my first day?!
[14:00] Matt
    But I did use a spell
    to repair the damage...
[14:02] Eduard
    Come in already, Matthias.
[14:08] Matt
    Yes, sir.
[14:13] Matt
    I knew it...
    He's—
[14:16] Eduard
    Matthias Hildesheimer.
[14:19] Eduard
    You defeated the Captain of the Knights' Order
    during your swordsmanship exam,
[14:21] Eduard
    and effortlessly used wordless spells
    during your casting exam.
[14:26] Eduard
    Castor being your father
    explains it somewhat,
[14:28] Eduard
    but I'm sure there's a deeper reason
    why someone your age is so powerful.
[14:33] Eduard
    I won't pry as to why that is.
[14:35] Eduard
    But I do want to ask for your aid.
[14:38] Matt
    My... aid?
[14:40] Eduard
    Yes.
[14:41] Eduard
    You saw the other students cast
    incanted spells, didn't you?
[14:45] Matt
    Yes...
[14:45] Matt
    Why do they use
    such an inefficient technique?
[14:48] Matt
    Wouldn't wordless spells be better?
[14:51] Eduard
    "Inefficient," eh?
[14:53] Eduard
    Unfortunately, Matthias,
[14:55] Eduard
    wordless spells are a lost casting style.
[15:00] Matt
    As I suspected...
[15:01] Eduard
    I don't know that a single other person
    in this kingdom can still use them.
[15:06] Eduard
    I've been hoping to revive wordless spell
    techniques here at Second Academy
[15:11] Eduard
    and teach them to the students...
[15:14] Matt
    That sounds like a great idea!
[15:16] Eduard
    But there's one thing stopping me!
[15:18] Matt
    There is?
[15:19] Eduard
    Yes.
[15:20] Eduard
    Our sister academy here in the capital,
[15:22] Eduard
    the First Royal Academy.
[15:26] Eduard
    The nobility endorses First Academy's teachings,
[15:28] Eduard
    which have a proven track record.
[15:30] Eduard
    We've had no choice
    but to follow their curriculum.
[15:35] Matt
    What kind of track record?
[15:37] Teach2
    First Academy's published research.
[15:42] Matt
    This is their "track record"?
[15:44] Matt
    But it talks only about incanted spells...
[15:46] Eduard
    Incanted spells are the only form
    of casting accepted in academia.
[15:51] Eduard
    Wordless spells are rejected.
[15:54] Matt
    How do we get them accepted?
[15:55] Eduard
    We'll have to prove the power
    of wordless casting
[15:59] Eduard
    at the next inter-school competition.
[16:03] Matt
    And that's the "aid"
    you're asking me for?
[16:07] Eduard
    Yes.
[16:08] Eduard
    I want you to instruct us
    in wordless casting!
[16:14] Eduard
    Matthias.
[16:16] Eduard
    Can I count on you?
[16:21] Matt
    Very well.
[16:25] Teach1
    We will now begin the class.
[16:28] Teach1
    Today, we'll be learning wordless spells!
[16:31] Student1
    "Wordless spells"?!
[16:32] Crowd
    Wordless...
[16:32] Student2
    I didn't know there was such a thing.
[16:33] Crowd
    Never heard of it...
[16:34] Teach1
    Your doubts are understandable.
[16:36] Teach1
    That's why we have
    a special guest instructor.
[16:39] Teach1
    He'll be teaching you how they work.
[16:42] Girl1
    Isn't he the one who passed the
    entrance exams at the top of the class?
[16:45] Alma
    Yes, that's our Matty!
[16:47] Lurie
    You can't take credit for him, Alma.
[16:50] Teach1
    Matthias, could you demonstrate
    how wordless casting works?
[16:55] Matt
    Very well.
[17:04] Student4
    Was that wordless casting?
[17:06] Student5
    Yeah, I didn't hear an incantation.
[17:08] Student6
    He's a Crest of Failure, right?
[17:10] Studen6
    You don't think
    he's really a demon, do you?
[17:12] Teach1
    Matthias is not the only one
    who can use wordless spells!
[17:16] Teach1
    Mr. Gaizal?
[17:17] Gaizal
    Right!
[17:23] Gaizal
    I'm not particularly good at casting myself,
[17:25] Gaizal
    but Matthias's teachings have gotten me
    this far in just one day!
[17:30] Teach1
    Well, let's get to it!
[17:33] All
    Right!
[17:34] Alma
    Matty, I can do it now, too!
[17:36] Matt
    You can?
[17:38] Alma
    Yeah, let me show you!
[17:44] Alma
    How do you like my casting?
[17:46] Matt
    You don't have to imitate
    the way he grunts, too...
[17:50] Matt
    How is it going, Lurie?
[17:52] Lurie
    I seem to have the feel for it,
[17:55] Lurie
    but I can't shake my
    incanted casting habits...
[17:59] Lurie
    I may have drained the last
    of my magic!
[18:03] Lurie
    They're all doing so well.
[18:05] Lurie
    When I see how impressive
    wordless spells are,
[18:07] Lurie
    I'm forced to wonder
    why we ever stopped using them.
[18:12] Matt
    She's right.
[18:14] Matt
    Why has wordless casting
    gone into decline?
[18:17] Lurie
    Matty?
[18:19] Matt
    Oh, I know.
[18:20] Matt
    Hold out your hand, would you?
[18:22] Lurie
    All right...
[18:26] Lurie
    M-Matty?!
[18:27] Matt
    W-Well, I have to do this
    to transfer my magic to you!
[18:32] Lurie
    Y-You can transfer magic?!
[18:35] Matt
    Yes.
[18:36] Matt
    I'm using a spell
    that attunes my magic to a target.
[18:39] Matt
    It's typically used
    for enchantments, of course.
[18:43] Lurie
    Enchantments...
[18:46] Lurie
    I did it!
[18:47] Lurie
    I finally did it, Matty!
[18:49] Matt
    That's the way!
[18:51] Matt
    And so I taught wordless casting
    to all the students.
[18:55] Crowd
    Let's show 'em
    what Second Academy can do!
[18:56] Matt
    A month passed...
[18:58] Alma
    It's finally time!
[18:59] Lurie
    I hope there are
    no magical chosen ones this year...
[19:03] Matt
    "Magical chosen ones"?
[19:05] Lurie
    That's what they call leaders
    at First Academy
[19:07] Lurie
    with extremely strong casting ability.
[19:09] Lurie
    Any year it seems
    Second Academy might win,
[19:11] Lurie
    one of these "magical chosen ones" appears.
[19:14] Alma
    I believe the last Captain of the
    Mages' Order was one of them!
[19:19] Matt
    It seems there is one here...
[19:21] Matt
    With roughly ten times my own magic power.
[19:24] Lurie
    Ten times your power, Matty?
[19:27] Alma
    That's demon-level power!
[19:29] Matt
    Demon...
[19:31] Matt
    Demons and humans are
    natural enemies, aren't they?
[19:34] Lurie
    They certainly are!
[19:36] Lurie
    Demons are the greatest threat
    to humanity there is!
[19:39] Alma
    Even the court magicians working together
    probably couldn't beat one.
[19:43] Lurie
    But why would you ask that?
[19:45] Matt
    Oh, just curious...
[19:49] Matt
    Demons, eh?
[19:51] Matt
    So they've survived into this era...
[19:54] Devil
    Well, looky here!
    A Crest of Failure!
[19:59] Leisis
    A Crest of Failure, all by his lonesome!
[20:01] Giaas
    Hey, no buddies with you?
[20:04] Giaas
    Did they all run away scared?
[20:07] GuyA
    Hey, Crest of Failure!
[20:08] GuyA
    Cower before the might of Devilis,
    magical chosen one!
[20:11] First Academy Teach
    Headmaster, I believe Second Academy
    has given up on victory entirely.
[20:16] Facus
    That'll be sixty-five wins in a row for us.
[20:18] Teach1
    Please, Matthias!
[20:21] Devil
    What, no witty rejoinder?
[20:24] Devil
    Has my chosen one Crest of Glory
    frightened you into submission?
[20:29] Matt
    I knew it...
[20:30] Matt
    He's not human at all.
[20:32] Matt
    He's a demon!
[20:34] Matt
    He's just using a disguise spell
    to hide his true form.
[20:38] Matt
    He even has a fake crest
    to let him walk among humans.
[20:42] Judge
    The 65th Inter-Academy Competition
    will now commence!
[20:47] Judge
    Begin!
[20:48] Leisis/Giaas
    Magic of flame that dwells within me—
[20:58] Judge
    L-Leisis and Giaas are both out!
[21:02] Devil
    Brat!
[21:04] Devil
    Magic of flame that dwells—
[21:06] Matt
    Got him.
[21:07] Matt
    He activated the spell
    before he started his chant!
[21:09] Teach1
    What? Did he just cast before he—
[21:10] Crowd
    Get him, Devilis!
[21:13] Teach1
    He did the same with his guard spell...
[21:15] Teach1
    What in the world...
[21:16] Matt
    In other words,
    he's just been pretending to chant.
[21:20] Devil
    ...arrow!
[21:21] Matt
    The demon's head is its weak point!
[21:25] Matt
    Forget your incantation again?
[21:28] Devil
    Come, flame!
[21:29] Matt
    That proves it.
[21:31] Matt
    A spell-casting demon,
    pretending to use incantations...
[21:34] Matt
    The demons are the ones
    that brought wordless casting into decline!
[21:40] Matt
    The demons want humans' spells
    as weak as possible.
[21:44] Matt
    They must have infiltrated
    First Academy long ago
[21:47] Matt
    and arranged to have the fourth crest
    declared the Crest of Failure!
[21:55] Devil
    Come, flame!
[21:57] Devil
    How?
[21:58] Devil
    How can you be so strong?!
[22:00] Matt
    Maybe you're just lousy at fighting!
[22:09] Lurie
    What's going on?
[22:12] Devil
    D-Did you just use a Spell Shatter?
[22:16] Matt
    Yes.
[22:17] Matt
    And I tacked on a Magic Veil,
    so you wouldn't notice.
[22:22] Man
    Hey, is that—
[22:24] Man
    Is Devilis...
[22:26] Man
    What? What's going on?
[22:26] Man
    Does that mean...
[22:27] Facus
    A-Are you telling me...
    Devilis is a demon?!
[22:31] Eduard
    Contact the palace!
[22:32] Eduard
    Evacuate the students at once!
[22:34] Crowd
    H-Help!
[22:35] Crowd
    Calm down!
[22:35] Matt
    Well, what's your next move?
[22:38] Devil
    Damn you!
[22:44] Matt
    A retreating demon will use
    a Full Flight spell...
[22:47] Matt
    It will take him about 1.5 seconds
    from spreading his wings to takeoff.
[22:51] Matt
    0.8 seconds for my enchantment...
[22:53] Matt
    0.7 seconds remain.
[22:55] Matt
    Easily done!
[22:58] Matt
    Now it's over.
[23:03] Eduard
    Did he defeat that demon...
    all by himself?
[23:07] Matt
    I can't believe there are demons
    infiltrating the academy.
[23:12] Matt
    I thought I drove them
    to the brink of destruction
[23:15] Matt
    in my old life as Gaius the Sage...
[23:19] Matt
    It seems there are serious problems
    in this day and age.
[23:25] Lurie
    Pop quiz, Alma!
[23:26] Lurie
    What's the best crest for enchantment?
[23:28] Alma
    Crest of Glory!
[23:29] Lurie
    And for power?
[23:30] Alma
    Crest of Standard!
[23:31] Alma
    Now, Matty, say all the crests
    three times fast!
[23:33] Matt
    Eh?!
[23:34] Matt
    Crest of Glory, Crest of Standard,
    Crest of Lesser, Crest of Failure!
[23:36] Matt
    Crest of Glory, Crest of Standard,
    Crest of Lesser, Crest of Failure!
SIGN    Episode 2 The Strongest Stage Enters the Dungeon.
[23:38] Matt
    Crest of Glory, Crest of Standard,
    Crest of Lesser... argh!
