[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.
