**[00:02] Eduard**
We will now commence the operation
**[00:04] Eduard**
to cover the royal capital in a barrier!
**[00:06] Eduard**
Matthias, our best fighter, will be
too consumed with the barrier to engage!
**[00:11] Eduard**
The only ones who can protect the capital
from attacking monsters and demons
**[00:14] Eduard**
are us, the wordless casters!
**[00:17] Eduard**
Give it your all, my students!
**[00:20] all**
Yes, sir!
**[00:22] Lilia**
Report from communications team!
**[00:24] Lilia**
Magic detectors 25 and 26
have picked up unusual activity!
**[00:28] Matt**
It looks like a demon signature.
**[00:31] Alma**
Demon?
**[00:32] Alma**
That's too soon to be a coincidence.
**[00:33] Lurie**
Do you think someone
leaked information about our plan?
**[00:36] Matt**
If they had,
**[00:37] Matt**
I don't think we'd be able
to detect their casting so easily.
**[00:40] Matt**
We're probably picking up a demonic
transportation spell called Magiroad.
**[00:47] Matt**
I've got my hands full here.
**[00:48] Matt**
Can you two take care of it?
**[00:51] Both**
Eh?
***SIGN*** Episode 6
***SIGN*** The Strongest Sage Leaves the School.
**[02:32] Lurie**
It will just be the two of us, then?
**[02:35] Alma**
Matty says we can do it,
so we'll just have to trust him!
**[02:39] Lilia**
There it is!
**[02:43] Alma**
Matty said that
when the magic power starts swelling,
**[02:47] Alma**
that's the sign the demons are coming!
**[02:49] Alma**
So I guess we've got a little time?
**[02:52] Lurie**
We should take this time to get ready.
**[02:57] Lilia**
*We've been running all this time...*
**[03:00] Lilia**
*How are they both fine?*
**[03:05] (Flashback) Matt**
Use the special metal arrows you make
for Alma against the demons.
**[03:10] (Flashback) Matt**
You can figure out what spells
to imbue them with yourself.
**[03:13] (Flashback) Lurie**
Myself?!
**[03:14] (Flashback) Matt**
In live combat, it's important
to read the situation on the fly
**[03:17] (Flashback) Matt**
and work out the ideal
casting circles for yourself.
**[03:23] (Flashback) Matt**
You'll be fine.
**[03:24] (Flashback) Matt**
I've taught you the techniques you need.
**[03:27] (Flashback) Matt**
I know you can do this, Lurie.
**[03:29] (Flashback) Lurie**
I will!
**[03:36] Lurie**
It's finished!
**[03:37] Lurie**
Will these do?
**[03:40] Alma**
They look good, as far as I can tell!
**[03:43] Alma**
They seem pretty strong, too!
**[03:46] Lilia**
*She made her own casting circle?*
**[03:48] Lilia**
*And enchanted the arrows...*
**[03:50] Lilia**
*This is what Matthias's team is capable of?*
**[03:54] Lurie**
Alma!
**[03:55] Alma**
Right!
**[03:56] Alma**
Now!
**[04:00] Alma**
I did it!
**[04:05] Lurie**
Alma, another's coming through!
**[04:07] Alma**
Got it!
**[04:11] Alma**
Guess I needed more than one...
**[04:12] Lurie**
Leave this to me!
**[04:18] Lurie**
Look! The Magiroad!
**[04:21] Alma**
Guess there are no more
demons on the way!
**[04:25] Lurie**
And...
**[04:26] Alma**
For the first time, just the two of us...
**[04:28] Both**
...pulled off a successful dispatch!
**[04:34] Lurie**
Did you feel that?
**[04:36] Alma**
A big magic surge from the capital.
**[04:39] Alma**
We should get back!
**[04:41] Lurie**
Yeah...
**[04:42] Lurie**
Let's hurry!
**[04:46] Matt**
Great work on that dispatch, you guys.
**[04:49] Lurie**
But the magic surge in the capital...
**[04:52] Matt**
Don't worry.
**[04:53] Matt**
It's just what I expected.
**[04:55] Alma**
What does it mean, then?
**[04:57] Matt**
It's a more advanced version of Magiroad,
**[05:00] Matt**
that sacrifices a demon
to achieve long-range travel.
**[05:04] Matt**
But demons have no spirit
of self-sacrifice,
**[05:06] Matt**
so they probably sacrificed the weakest
of their group to feed the spell.
**[05:10] Lurie**
What should we do?
**[05:13] Matt**
The demons will likely appear
above Second Academy.
**[05:18] Matt**
The barrier will take a little more time
to get ready,
**[05:20] Matt**
so I'll need you
to buy time until then.
**[05:22] Lurie**
We will! We'll do our best!
**[05:24] Alma**
Let's go, Lurie!
**[05:26] Lurie**
Yes!
**[05:29] Matt**
* Maybe it's because they've*
* gained confidence in battle...*
**[05:32] Matt**
*There's no more hesitance in their tone.*
**[05:34] Iris**
Forty boxes of mithril!
**[05:37] Iris**
That should do it!
**[05:39] Matt**
Well done, Iris.
**[05:43] Alma**
Mr. Headmaster!
**[05:44] Eduard**
Excellent timing.
**[05:47] Eduard**
Matthias left these for you.
**[05:50] Alma**
Magistones for casting circles?
**[05:52] Lurie**
Matty got me this much
so that I won't have to worry if I mess up...
**[05:58] Lurie**
I'll make sure it works!
**[06:00] Lilia**
Massive magic readings detected
above the academy!
**[06:05] Eduard**
Into formation, all of you!
**[06:16] Belias**
That seems to have gone well.
**[06:18] Student 1**
The demon's... here?
**[06:21] Belias**
Oh? You intend to fight me, do you?
**[06:25] Belias**
What a foolish bunch of humans...
**[06:27] Belias**
Force of numbers won't change your fate.
**[06:29] Belias**
I'll send you all
to the grave together!
**[06:42] Belias**
How easy.
**[06:45] Student 2**
I thought I was a goner!
**[06:46] Student 3**
It really blocked it!
**[06:48] Student 4**
Matthias's defense spells are the best!
**[06:51] Belias**
Those wretched humans blocked my spell?!
**[06:55] Eduard**
Now! Crest of Standard!
Crest of Lesser!
**[06:57] Student 2&3**
Sir!
**[07:00] Student 3**
It's no use! We can't reach him!
**[07:02] Alma**
In that case...
**[07:06] Belias**
You don't have much
in the way of attacks.
**[07:09] Alma**
He's way tougher
than those earlier demons.
**[07:11] Alma**
Lurie! How's that enchantment coming?
**[07:16] Alma**
You okay?
**[07:18] Lurie**
This casting circle is quite complex.
**[07:20] Lurie**
Could you buy me a little more time?
**[07:22] Alma**
Sure thing!
**[07:25] Belias**
How long can you hold out against this?!
**[07:28] Eduard**
We'll endure whatever you throw at us,
**[07:30] Eduard**
until Lurie's enchantment is done!
**[07:32] Belias**
You may have learned wordless casting,
**[07:34] Belias**
but you can't surmount
the difference in our power!
**[07:40] Student 1**
That's more powerful than the last one!
**[07:42] Student 2**
But we'll hold it back!
**[07:46] Lurie**
Another failure...
**[07:48] Lurie**
Where's the next...
**[07:52] Lurie**
*This is... the last piece...*
**[07:57] Belias**
What happened
to all that confidence of yours?
**[07:59] Eduard**
*This isn't good.*
**[08:00] Eduard**
* If this keeps up,*
* he'll break through our spell!*
**[08:05] Lurie**
*What will I do?*
**[08:07] Lurie**
*If this fails, they'll all...*
**[08:11] Lurie**
* I was able to succeed in the past*
* due to Matty's support.*
**[08:15] Lurie**
*But all on my own, I...*
**[08:18] Student 3**
We will hold him back!
**[08:21] Student 4**
Until Lurie's enchantment is complete!
**[08:25] Lurie**
* But they're all...*
* Matty is... counting on me!*
**[08:29] Alma**
Keep going, Lurie!
**[08:31] Lurie**
I will!
I will make it work!
**[08:45] Lurie**
I did it! Alma!
**[08:47] Alma**
Thanks a bunch, Lurie!
**[08:48] Alma**
Leave the rest to me!
**[08:53] Belias**
It works only if it hits!
**[08:55] Alma**
I won't let Lurie's hard work
go to waste!
**[09:02] Eduard**
Now!
**[09:03] Students**
Yes, sir!
**[09:11] Student 1**
We did it!
**[09:13] Student 1**
We really did it!
**[09:14] Student 1**
We defeated a demon!
**[09:15] Student 2**
We can do it, too!
**[09:21] Demon 2**
Oh? You took out Belias...
**[09:24] Student 3**
There's another demon?!
**[09:25] Student 4**
But it's only one! We can still—
**[09:30] Lurie**
Its attacks are more powerful
than the last one's!
**[09:39] Demon 2**
I told him to wait
until we were all ready.
**[09:44] Demon 2**
There's plenty of slaughter
to go around, after all.
**[09:47] Demon 2**
Right, everyone?
**[09:50] Lurie**
It can't be true...
**[09:52] Lurie**
There are so many...
**[09:58] Lurie**
You can't do it, Alma!
**[09:59] Lurie**
It took everything we had
just to beat one!
**[10:03] Alma**
But we have to buy time
until Matty arrives!
**[10:13] Lurie**
We don't want Matty
to be disappointed in us.
**[10:17] Alma**
Lurie...
**[10:21] Demon 2**
Look at all those happy faces.
**[10:24] Demon 2**
I know. Let's compete
to see who can kill the most!
**[10:29] Demon 3**
The slaughter begins.
**[10:31] Matt**
The *what* begins?
**[10:36] Matt**
Sorry, but you're the ones
facing a slaughter.
**[10:41] Matt**
That's a bigger turnout than expected.
**[10:44] Demon 2**
Impossible. His aura is inhuman.
**[10:47] Demon 2**
Are you the one who killed Alias?
**[10:52] Lurie & Alma**
Matty!
**[10:56] Matt**
Now, choose!
**[10:57] Matt**
Will you die begging pathetically
for your lives?
**[11:02] Matt**
Or will you fight
and die in humiliation?
**[11:09] Matt**
So you know,
both choices mean you die.
**[11:13] Demon 2**
Don't underestimate us!
You're still just a human!
**[11:15] Demon 2**
You can't beat a demon
at its full power!
**[11:20] Matt**
Such determination.
**[11:22] Matt**
I'll grant you an exit
suited for a villain's role.
**[11:37] Matt**
Dispatch successful.
**[11:39] Lurie**
Matty!
**[11:41] Matt**
This body's reached a level
where it can fight decently, I suppose.
**[11:51] Eduard**
Matthias! You did very well.
**[11:54] Matt**
I'm just glad you're all safe.
**[11:56] Alma**
That was amazing, Matty!
**[11:57] Alma**
You beat them all in a flash!
**[12:00] Matt**
Yes, thanks to the sword Lurie made.
**[12:04] Matt**
Thank you.
**[12:06] Lurie**
It's nothing...
**[12:07] Matt**
You too, Alma.
**[12:09] Matt**
Thanks for buying time.
**[12:12] Alma**
That's right!
**[12:13] Alma**
Did you finish the barrier?
**[12:15] Matt**
Yes, I finished digging the hole
for the barrier.
**[12:18] Matt**
Iris and the others are handling the rest.
**[12:24] Matt**
You've all done very well.
**[12:27] Matt**
Now we add in the magistone,
and it's done.
**[12:29] Iris**
I'm hungry!
**[12:43] Woman**
What is that?
**[12:44] Boy**
Papa! The sky is so pretty!
**[12:56] Alma**
We did it!
**[12:57] Lurie**
It went perfectly!
**[12:58] Matt**
We aren't finished yet.
**[13:01] Matt**
The fun's just getting started, in fact.
**[13:03] Alma**
But we activated the barrier, didn't we?
**[13:07] Alma**
And I feel a lot
of magic power from it...
**[13:10] Iris**
This magic power isn't from the barrier.
It's from monsters.
**[13:13] Iris**
A ton of them.
**[13:15] Alma**
Monsters?
**[13:17] Lurie**
Do you mean the spell that the demons
set up before to summon monsters?
**[13:22] Matt**
That's right.
**[13:23] Matt**
That magic power and the power
from the demons we defeated
**[13:27] Matt**
traveled along the school's Dragon Vein
and had a good influence on it.
**[13:31] Alma**
"A good influence"?
**[13:33] Alma**
Don't tell me...
**[13:34] Matt**
It's going to be a bigger horde
than we expected.
**[13:37] Eduard**
Students!
**[13:38] Eduard**
The barrier will keep the capital safe,
**[13:42] Eduard**
but not the surrounding towns!
**[13:44] Eduard**
We have to stop all the monsters here.
**[13:47] Eduard**
My students, fight your hearts out!
**[13:50] Students**
Yes, sir!
**[14:02] Student 3**
What the...
**[14:02] Eduard**
It's the trap Matthias mentioned!
**[14:05] Alma**
Wow. We're really tearing
through those monsters!
**[14:09] Matt**
It seems that the traps
and magic items we set up
**[14:11] Matt**
are sparing them a lot of fighting.
**[14:14] Matt**
And the students of Second Academy
have improved vastly in these last few months.
**[14:20] Matt**
They won't lose to monsters
of such a low level.
**[14:25] Iris**
Hey, there's a bigger one on the way.
**[14:28] Matt**
Yes, with a Dragon Vein like that,
**[14:31] Matt**
there's a second wave for sure.
**[14:35] Eduard**
All forces, retreat! Hurry!
**[14:37] Matt**
We'll take over here.
**[14:39] Eduard**
Thank you!
**[14:41] Matt**
Are you three ready?
**[14:43] All**
Yes!
**[14:44] Matt**
Iris, take the front line.
**[14:45] Iris**
Yes, I shall!
**[14:47] Matt**
Hold it.
**[14:48] Matt**
This way's faster!
**[14:55] Iris**
That wasn't nice, Matthias!
**[15:01] Alma**
I did it!
**[15:02] Lurie**
Great work, Alma!
**[15:03] Lurie**
I'll get in there, too!
**[15:05] Matt**
* Having a proper team*
* makes combat so efficient.*
**[15:10] Matt**
* Now I can focus*
* on the more powerful enemies.*
**[15:15] Matt**
That monster...
**[15:16] Alma**
Matty! I'm picking up
the strangest magic readings...
**[15:19] Alma**
Hey, what's that?!
**[15:20] Matt**
A monster known as a Void Eater,
which devours monsters around it to grow.
**[15:26] Matt**
It's my first time ever seeing one.
**[15:28] Lurie**
Shouldn't we defeat it
while it's still small?
**[15:30] Matt**
Actually, let's let it absorb
all the monsters in the area.
**[15:34] Matt**
It'll save time in the long run.
**[15:37] Iris**
I think it's trying to absorb me, too.
**[15:41] Matt**
It shouldn't be powerful enough
to absorb you.
**[15:44] Matt**
It's just about finished, so let's give it
a hand with the finishing touches.
**[15:49] Matt**
Lurie. Carve this pattern into a magistone
and throw it at the Void Eater.
**[15:54] Lurie**
I will.
**[15:55] Matt**
Absorption-type monsters evolve
in a distorted way,
**[15:58] Matt**
so they don't provide good materials.
**[16:00] Matt**
So we'll use a casting circle
to drive its evolution in a particular direction
**[16:03] Matt**
and acquire worthwhile materials from it.
**[16:06] Alma**
You're really assuming we win this, huh?
**[16:08] Lurie**
The inscription is done!
**[16:09] Lurie**
I'm throwing it in!
**[16:13] Matt**
And here go a few more!
**[16:16] Matt**
Eat up! Grow big and strong!
**[16:38] Lurie**
M-Matty...
**[16:40] Alma**
Are you totally sure about this?
**[16:42] Matt**
It's looking good.
**[16:44] Matt**
Its overall magic power is stable,
and we'll get lots of experience from it.
**[16:48] Lurie**
Experience?
**[16:50] Lurie**
You're *really* assuming we win this, then...
**[16:54] Alma**
I-It's coming closer!
**[16:56] Matt**
Okay, let's beat it!
**[16:59] Matt**
As usual,
Alma and Lurie will attack with arrows.
**[17:01] Matt**
Iris, aim for its feet.
**[17:04] Iris**
Sure thing!
**[17:05] Lurie**
But Matty, you can't have
much magic power left!
**[17:10] Matt**
That's all right!
**[17:12] Matt**
* I've just about got the muscle memory*
* for how a Crest of Failure fights!*
**[17:22] Matt**
* The best way to deal quick damage*
* to a large creature like this*
**[17:27] Matt**
*is to tick it off!*
**[17:37] Matt**
Special Magic Enchant!
**[17:42] Alma**
It's working!
**[17:44] Matt**
No...
**[17:46] Lurie**
Its legs are regenerating!
**[17:48] Matt**
If that won't work, I'll give it
all the enhancement spells I can!
**[17:58] Matt**
And...
**[18:00] Matt**
A Special Magic Enchant, times two!
**[18:04] Lurie**
It regenerated again!
**[18:05] Matt**
I'm not done yet.
**[18:10] Matt**
* This kind of thing is*
* where the Crest of Failure really shines.*
**[18:15] Matt**
* This spell will last until either I run out*
* of magic, or the enemy dies.*
**[18:23] Matt**
And now... the finish!
**[18:33] Matt**
Dispatch successful!
**[18:36] Alma**
You beat it?
**[18:38] Matt**
Yeah, I don't think it'll regenerate again!
**[18:40] Matt**
It's okay to come closer.
**[18:43] Matt**
Well done, all of you.
**[18:45] Lurie**
Well done, Matty!
**[18:48] Matt**
Building up a barrier,
then dispatching monsters and demons...
**[18:51] Matt**
Even I'm a little tired after all that!
**[18:54] Alma**
Just "a little"?
**[18:57] Iris**
And I'm just hungry!
**[19:25] Lurie**
Matty?
**[19:26] Lurie**
Is something the matter?
**[19:27] Matt**
Well... this creature's appearance
suggests a truly intere—
**[19:32] Matt**
er, a potentially dangerous Dragon Vein.
**[19:35] Matt**
I think I'll have to look
at some dungeons outside the capital.
**[19:39] Lurie**
*So he really is...*
**[19:49] Eduard**
So you're leaving the academy, eh?
**[19:51] Matt**
Yes. I'd like to do a survey
of Dragon Veins.
**[19:55] Eduard**
I thought you'd say that someday.
**[19:57] Eduard**
I hate to say it, but there's nothing left
for you to learn here.
**[20:02] Eduard**
But I don't intend to expel you.
**[20:06] Eduard**
I'd like to keep you on our rolls
with a special scholarship.
**[20:12] Eduard**
The school will have greater freedom
for more effective growth
**[20:16] Eduard**
with your achievements under its belt.
**[20:19] Eduard**
And if you find yourself in trouble,
it'll be easier
**[20:22] Eduard**
for me and the nation to intervene
on your behalf if you're a student.
**[20:26] Eduard**
I think it's a good deal for both of us.
**[20:29] Matt**
Indeed. It's not a bad offer.
**[20:32] Matt**
I think I'll take it.
**[20:35] Eduard**
I'll prepare the documentation, then.
**[20:38] Lurie**
Matty...
You're really leaving the school?
**[20:42] Alma**
Lurie...
**[20:44] Eduard**
If you'd like to go off with Matthias,
**[20:47] Eduard**
I can give the rest of you
a scholarship as well.
**[20:51] Lurie**
Us, too?
**[20:55] Matt**
Well... Only if they want to...
**[20:58] Lurie**
I'll take a scholarship!
**[21:00] Lurie**
Matty has so much more to teach me
about enchantment spells!
**[21:04] Alma**
Me, too! I want to go on a journey
and become an even better archer!
**[21:09] Iris**
If you're all going, I'm in!
**[21:13] Eduard**
Seems that it's all decided, then.
**[21:22] Matt**
Thank you for everything, Headmaster.
**[21:25] Eduard**
Likewise!
**[21:27] Eduard**
Drop by any time you wish.
**[21:29] Eduard**
Second Academy will be here
for you any time.
**[21:33] all**
Right!
**[21:34] Matt**
All right, let's go.
**[21:36] Alma**
See you guys again someday!
**[21:38] Lurie**
We're off!
**[21:39] Iris**
Bye-bye!
**[21:42] Alma**
It's so exciting!
Like starting a new adventure!
**[21:46] Lurie**
Indeed!
**[21:47] Alma**
Wonder if we'll find some tasty food!
**[21:48] Iris**
I'm hungry!
**[23:25] Matt**
Iris, are you all packed for the trip?
**[23:28] Iris**
Yes! My possessions include
these big iron dumbbells...
**[23:31] Iris**
One cow for eating...
**[23:33] Iris**
And this body pillow I made
out of a monster corpse!
**[23:35] Matt**
You won't need that on a journey!
Throw it away!
