[01:40] Lugh
    Allow me to formally introduce myself.
[01:42] Lugh
    I am Lugh Tuatha Dé, seven years old.
[01:45] Lugh
    I look forward to receiving your
    guidance and support, Ms. Dia.
[01:48] Dia
    No need to be so polite.
[01:50] Dia
    I'm only three years older than you.
[01:52] Dia
    Starting tomorrow, this genius mage
    will spend two weeks teaching you
[01:56] ---
    everything there is to know about magic.
[02:00] Dia
    Here.
[02:06] Lugh
    What's this?
[02:07] Dia
    It's called a Fahr Stone.
[02:08] Dia
    It can be used to store mana.
[02:11] Lugh
    Store mana?
[02:13] Dia
    First, we need to determine
    your magical capacity.
[02:16] Dia
    Try pouring all your mana
    into the Fahr Stone.
[02:23] Dia
    Wow, not bad!
[02:25] Dia
    Even among adults, not many people
    can produce that much mana.
[02:31] Lugh
    Thanks to my Rapid Recovery
    and Limitless Growth,
[02:34] ---
    I've increased my magical
    capacity by a thousandfold.
[02:38] Dia
    W-Wait a minute, Lugh...
[02:40] Lugh
    What is it?
[02:41] Dia
    It doesn't make sense that
    you've still got mana!
[02:44] Lugh
    I've got plenty more.
[02:47] Dia
    No, there's no way you can have that much!
[02:50] Lugh
    I do have it, but this is all I can release.
[02:54] Lugh
    This isn't enough to defeat the Hero, though.
[02:58] Dia
    Watch out! Throw that as hard as you can!
[03:00] Dia
    Quickly!
[03:01] Lugh
    Physical reinforcement.
[03:22] Cian
    Lugh!
[03:23] Cian
    Lugh!
[03:26] Lugh
    Father, Mother.
[03:28] Esri
    Lugh, are you all right?
[03:30] Lugh
    Yes.
[03:30] Cian
    Ms. Dia, what was that?
[03:32] Dia
    I-I'm sorry. I was just trying
    to m-measure his mana.
[03:37] Cian
    In other words, Lugh was
    responsible for that?
[03:39] Dia
    No, it was my fault.
[03:41] Cian
    That's not what I'm asking.
[03:44] Cian
    I'm asking if Lugh caused what just happened.
[03:47] Dia
    Y-Yes, but it's not Lugh's fault!
[03:51] Cian
    What?!
[03:52] Cian
    That's incredible!
[03:54] Cian
    Esri, did you hear that?
[03:55] Esri
    Yes! I knew our son could
    wield such powerful magic!
[04:02] Dia
    Huh?
[04:03] Esri
    Lugh, your first spell was marvelous.
[04:07] Esri
    I'm glad we asked Ms. Dia to teach you.
[04:10] Cian
    But this seems more suitable for war.
[04:13] Cian
    Ms. Dia, could you please teach him
    spells suitable for assassination next?
[04:17] Dia
    Huh? Uh, sure...
[04:19] Cian
    Keep up the good work.
[04:25] Cian
    They're... not mad?
[04:27] Lugh
    That's how my parents are.
[04:29] Dia
    Huh...
[04:30] Lugh
    More importantly, Dia,
    I want more Fahr Stones.
[04:33] Lugh
    How can I get more?
[04:35] Dia
    You can't.
[04:37] Dia
    Fahr Stones are the treasured object
    of my home region of Viekone.
[04:40] Dia
    We can't give them to
    people from other regions.
[04:43] Dia
    Did you just click your tongue?
[04:45] Lugh
    No. Hey, Dia.
[04:47] Dia
    What is it?
[04:48] Lugh
    Are you sure I can't have Fahr Stones?
[04:50] Dia
    Yes!
[04:56] Lugh
    She's an odd mentor, but no matter.
[05:02] Lugh
    More importantly, I need Fahr Stones.
[05:04] Lugh
    They will be necessary for
    assassinating the Hero.
[05:07] Lugh
    The question is, how can I
    acquire a large number of them?
[05:12] Dia
    Lugh, you're still awake?
[05:14] Lugh
    Yeah.
[05:16] Dia
    Children shouldn't be up so late.
[05:19] Dia
    Go to bed.
[05:22] Lugh
    S-Sure.
[05:25] Lugh
    Uh...
[05:26] Dia
    Your big sister will sleep with you tonight.
[05:29] Lugh
    When did I become your younger brother?
[05:32] Dia
    Oh, Mr. Cian must be hiding it.
[05:36] Lugh
    Hiding what?
[05:39] Dia
    In any case, as your mentor,
    I name you my younger brother.
[05:45] Lugh
    Fine.
[05:47] ---
    I'll follow my mentor's commands.
[05:50] Dia
    Nice and obedient. Good.
[05:52] Dia
    Goodnight, Lugh.
[05:53] Lugh
    Goodnight.
[06:01] Dia
    Here.
[06:02] Dia
    Today, we'll determine your attributes.
[06:04] Dia
    Try pouring a little mana into that.
[06:08] Lugh
    How's this?
[06:09] Dia
    Good. We'll begin by testing for Fire.
[06:16] Dia
    You have an affinity for Fire.
[06:18] Dia
    You could have two attributes,
    so we'll test for the others, too.
[06:25] Dia
    Wow, you have an affinity for Water, as well!
[06:27] Dia
    This is my first time seeing someone
    other than myself with two attributes!
[06:31] Dia
    It's really rare!
[06:34] Lugh
    What about the others?
[06:35] Dia
    I've never seen anyone with
    three attributes, but...
[06:41] Dia
    What?
[06:42] Dia
    You have an affinity for Earth, too?
[06:46] Dia
    Wind, too... You have all four attributes?!
[06:50] Lugh
    Seems that way.
[06:51] Dia
    You're unbelievable.
[06:54] Dia
    But now that we know your magical capacity
    and attributes, I can teach you properly.
[06:59] Lugh
    I'm counting on it.
[07:07] Dia
    Casting spells requires you to
    convert your mana's attribute.
[07:12] Dia
    Your first attribute conversion is a
    powerful and memorable experience.
[07:17] Dia
    Receiving guidance from an unskilled
    mentor can leave you with bad habits.
[07:22] Lugh
    You're not an unskilled mentor, right?
[07:26] Dia
    I promise you a wonderful first time.
[07:31] Dia
    Focus. We'll start with Earth,
    my preferred attribute.
[07:36] Dia
    Feel the change in your mana on your skin.
[07:40] Dia
    Etch it into your mind.
[07:47] Lugh
    So this is attribute conversion.
[07:52] Lugh
    Guided by Dia, my mana is taking on color.
[07:58] Lugh
    My previously colorless power
[08:02] Lugh
    is being reborn with purpose.
[08:16] Lugh
    Thank you for a wonderful first time.
[08:20] Dia
    Give it a try.
[08:29] Dia
    Looking good!
[08:30] Lugh
    You set a good example.
[08:37] Lugh
    I have memories of something
    that look like letters.
[08:40] Dia
    You learned a spell.
[08:42] Lugh
    This is a spell?
[08:44] Dia
    When you take on mana from
[08:46] Dia
    one of your attributes, you learn
    spells as a revelation from God.
[08:49] Dia
    The more often you cast them,
    the more new spells you'll receive.
[08:53] Lugh
    How do I cast them?
[08:54] Dia
    Speak the incantation in your mind.
[09:01] Lugh
    I can't read these letters.
[09:04] Dia
    Watch this.
[09:06] Dia
    Etaerc reppoc.
[09:10] Dia
    "Create copper." This is the first Earth
    affinity spell that appears in your mind.
[09:16] Lugh
    Like this?
[09:17] Lugh
    Etaerc reppoc.
[09:22] Dia
    How did you learn that
    after hearing it only once?
[09:25] Lugh
    I'm confident in my memory.
[09:28] Lugh
    My tongue can't keep up, though.
[09:30] Dia
    Pronunciation is key when casting spells.
[09:32] Dia
    The accuracy of your pronunciation
    affects your magic.
[09:35] Lugh
    So that's how it works.
[09:37] Lugh
    Dia, teach me more.
[09:40] Dia
    Right! Your crash course begins now!
[09:44] Lugh
    I've finally learned to use magic.
[09:47] Lugh
    But this is still only the first step.
[09:50] Lugh
    Someday I must acquire spells powerful
    enough to assassinate the Hero.
[10:02] Dia
    Tuatha Dé has some delicious dishes.
[10:04] Dia
    That was my first time having gratin.
[10:06] Lugh
    Sorry I can't serve you
    anything more luxurious.
[10:09] Dia
    Gratin has a very mild flavor. I love it!
[10:14] Lugh
    I'm glad you liked it.
[10:16] Dia
    Lugh, why are you so good at everything?
[10:20] Dia
    You're knowledgeable and smarter
    than me, even though you're younger.
[10:24] Dia
    You're a good cook, too.
[10:26] Lugh
    My parents taught me well.
[10:29] Lugh
    I'll serve you something
    special for dinner tomorrow.
[10:31] Lugh
    You'll love it.
[10:33] Dia
    Okay! Goodnight, Lugh!
[10:36] Lugh
    Goodnight.

[10:45] Lugh
    Etaerc reppoc.
[10:47] Dia
    Nice work!
[10:48] Dia
    You're progressing so quickly!
[10:50] Lugh
    So this is magic. It's fun.
[10:52] Dia
    I was so excited at first, too!
[10:55] Dia
    The more magic you use,
    the more spells come to mind!
[11:01] Lugh
    Can you cast a spell off a
    transcription written by someone
[11:04] ---
    instead of the letters in your head?
[11:08] Dia
    Without a revelation from God?
[11:10] Lugh
    I want to try it.
[11:11] Dia
    Okay.
[11:14] Dia
    Let's try iron next.
[11:17] Dia
    Here.
[11:19] Lugh
    Etaerc nori.
[11:23] Dia
    No way! It worked!
[11:26] Dia
    Why hasn't anyone figured this out until now?
[11:30] Lugh
    This world must be designed so people only
    consider casting spells given to them by God.
[11:37] Lugh
    The copper and iron spells have
    nearly identical incantations.
[11:40] Dia
    Yeah. I don't know what the words
    mean, but just this part is different.
[11:46] Lugh
    Dia, could you transcribe all
    the incantations you know?
[11:49] Dia
    What? That's a lot of work.
[11:52] Lugh
    If this minor difference
    changes the metal produced,
[11:56] ---
    we may be able to create a new
    spell by changing this part.
[12:00] Lugh
    We need samples to determine
    which letters mean what.
[12:05] Lugh
    I'll do anything for you in return.
[12:06] Lugh
    Please.
[12:08] Dia
    Got it.
[12:13] Dia
    There are 36 magic letters.
[12:15] Dia
    I think the difference between
    copper and iron is the numbers.
[12:18] Dia
    It makes sense logically
    if these are numbers, so...
[12:22] Dia
    Lugh, are you listening?
[12:24] Lugh
    Y-Yeah, I'm listening.
[12:27] Dia
    Copper is probably 8.9, 1,083, and 63.546.
[12:32] Dia
    Iron is 7.9, 1,540, and 55.8, I think.
[12:38] Lugh
    Really?
[12:39] Lugh
    Good job figuring that out.
[12:41] Dia
    Huh?
[12:41] Lugh
    Where's the number to magic
    letter conversion chart?
[12:44] Dia
    Here.
[12:45] Lugh
    All right.
[12:50] Lugh
    Done.
[12:51] Lugh
    These numbers are the parameters
    defining the type of metal created.
[12:55] Dia
    In simpler terms?
[12:57] Lugh
    The three numbers represent specific gravity,
    melting point, and atomic weight.
[13:01] Lugh
    By changing the parameters to those
    of silver, we can produce silver.
[13:05] Dia
    That's even more confusing.
[13:07] Lugh
    Dia, don't you want to produce gold?
[13:09] Dia
    What?
[13:10] Lugh
    I know the parameters for gold.
[13:12] Dia
    Really? Let's do it!
[13:15] Lugh
    Ready?
[13:15] Dia
    Yeah.
[13:16] Lugh
    Specific gravity, 19.32.
[13:19] Lugh
    Melting point, 1,064.
[13:21] Lugh
    Atomic weight, 196.966.
[13:25] Dia
    Atomic weight is...
[13:27] Dia
    Done.
[13:29] Dia
    Etaerc dlog.
[13:30] Dia
    Huh?
[13:33] Lugh
    Are you all right, Dia?
[13:35] Dia
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[13:37] Dia
    I suddenly got a really bad headache.
[13:40] Lugh
    What's going on?
[13:42] Dia
    Did we get something wrong?
[13:44] Lugh
    I'll try it.
[13:46] Lugh
    Etaerc dlog.
[13:50] Dia
    Y-You did it!
[13:51] Dia
    It's gold! This is amazing, Lugh!
[13:54] Lugh
    This must be my A-rank skill, Spell Weaver.
[13:57] Lugh
    So those who don't possess this skill can't use
    incantations they've created themselves?
[14:04] Dia
    What are you doing?
[14:06] Lugh
    I'm writing down the same incantation.
[14:09] Lugh
    Dia, I want you to read this.
[14:11] Lugh
    You don't have to if you don't want to.
[14:13] Lugh
    It's necessary to determine the conditions
    required to produce new spells.
[14:17] Dia
    That's not fair.
[14:20] Dia
    I can't suppress my curiosity
    when you phrase it like that.
[14:23] Dia
    Watch this.
[14:24] Dia
    Etaerc dlog.
[14:31] Dia
    I did it! I made gold!
[14:33] Dia
    Does this mean that if I create new spells
[14:36] Dia
    and have you transcribe the incantation,
    then I can use them?!
[14:40] Lugh
    That seems to be the case.
[14:43] Dia
    This is so exciting!
[14:44] Lugh
    Yeah. We can create even
    more impressive spells.
[14:47] Dia
    Yeah! Let's make spells together!
[15:09] Lugh
    We should be safe here. No one will find us.
[15:12] Dia
    Secrets are so exciting.
[15:15] Lugh
    Here we go.
[15:16] Lugh
    Elfir etaerc.
[15:19] Lugh
    Erif.
[15:21] Lugh
    I'll fire tungsten bullets by
    forcing them out using Fire magic.
[15:28] Dia
    All right! It worked!
[15:30] Lugh
    Let's call this spell "Fire."
[15:32] Dia
    Sure! That was awesome!
[15:34] Dia
    Let me try now.
[15:35] Dia
    Elfir etaerc.
[15:39] Dia
    Erif.
[15:41] Dia
    I did it, too!
[15:44] Lugh
    Now I can snipe targets like
    I did in my previous life.
[15:45] Lugh
    Yay!
[15:47] Lugh
    But it's still not nearly enough
    firepower to take down the Hero.
[15:52] Lugh
    Let's try modifying it a little.
[15:53] Dia
    Huh?
[15:54] Lugh
    Etaerc nonnac.
[15:56] Dia
    What is that?
[16:01] Lugh
    Dia, cover your ears.
[16:03] Dia
    My ears?
[16:04] Lugh
    Drabmob.
[16:14] Dia
    What are you planning to shoot with that?!
[16:18] Dia
    It's clearly too strong!
[16:24] Lugh
    I made it pretty thick,
[16:26] Lugh
    but it cracked after firing a single shot.
[16:29] Lugh
    Maybe I'll try using a Martensitic
    molecular structure instead.
[16:32] Dia
    That was crazy, Lugh.
[16:34] Dia
    But firing that weapon must feel amazing.
[16:37] Lugh
    Let's call this spell "Bombard."
[16:40] Lugh
    Would you like to try it?
[16:41] Dia
    I hate to admit it, but I can't.
[16:43] Dia
    I'd need a crazy amount of mana like yours.
[16:46] Dia
    I'm fine with just "Fire."
[16:48] Lugh
    Shall we practice some?
[16:50] Dia
    Okay!
[17:06] Dia
    It's been two weeks already.
[17:08] Lugh
    Yeah.
[17:10] Dia
    It's already time to say goodbye.
[17:12] Lugh
    Yeah.
[17:14] Dia
    I wish we could stay like this forever.
[17:24] Dia
    Lugh?
[17:27] Lugh
    Etaerc muinatit.
[17:32] Lugh
    It's a beta titanium alloy.
[17:34] Lugh
    It's twice as hard as iron,
[17:37] Lugh
    half as heavy, durable,
    and resistant to damage and rust.
[17:42] Lugh
    This is the product of our spells.
[17:47] Dia
    It's beautiful.
[17:54] Dia
    It's so sharp.
[17:59] Lugh
    It's for you.
[18:00] Dia
    What? Thank you.
[18:02] Lugh
    If you hadn't been my mentor,
    I wouldn't have learned to use magic.
[18:07] Dia
    If I hadn't met you, it never would've
    occurred to me to create my own spells.
[18:13] Dia
    I love magic even more than I did before.
[18:16] Lugh
    So do I.
[18:18] Dia
    I'm going to create lots more
    spells even after I go home.
[18:21] Dia
    The next time we meet, you can complete them.
[18:24] Lugh
    Sure.
[18:25] Dia
    I'm so excited!
[18:27] Dia
    I've had enough excitement to
    fill a lifetime since I met you!
[18:31] Dia
    Lugh.
[18:36] Dia
    This is for you.
[18:40] Lugh
    A Fahr Stone... Are you sure?
[18:42] Dia
    Yeah, but in exchange...
[18:46] Dia
    You said you'd do anything
    to thank me, remember?
[18:49] Lugh
    Yeah.
[18:50] Dia
    Promise you'll come see me when
    I really, really want to see you.
[18:56] Lugh
    I promise. I'll come to you, no matter what.
[19:13] Cian
    Ms. Dia, thank you for training
    my son up until this point.
[19:18] Dia
    Lugh is a genius.
    He practically trained himself.
[19:21] Dia
    I had never felt jealous before him.
[19:23] Esri
    I had no idea you were so amazing, Lugh.
[19:26] Cian
    I wouldn't expect less from our son.
[19:28] Cian
    I'm proud of you.
[19:29] Dia
    See you later, Lugh.
[19:33] Dia
    I had so much fun! I promise I'll come back!
[19:36] Lugh
    Yeah. I'll be waiting.
[19:43] Cian
    I'm delighted to have such a brilliant son.
[19:47] Lugh
    I'm honored, Father.
[19:49] Cian
    You seem to have grown enough.
[19:52] Cian
    Today, I'll begin teaching you
    the truth about Tuatha Dé.
[19:56] Lugh
    The truth about Tuatha Dé...
[20:01] Cian
    What is the motto of House Tuatha Dé?
[20:03] Lugh
    The skills of House Tuatha Dé must only be
    used for the prosperity of the Alvan Kingdom.
[20:07] Cian
    And the medical techniques of Tuatha Dé?
[20:10] Lugh
    To sustain the lives of exceptional people.
[20:12] Cian
    What are the assassination
    techniques of Tuatha Dé for?
[20:15] Lugh
    Only for excising the kingdom's
    illnesses and preventing harm.
[20:19] Cian
    Good. I will teach you the secrets
    required to hone those skills.
[20:24] Cian
    Behold.
[20:26] Lugh
    What is that?
[20:26] Cian
    A prison.
[20:31] Lugh
    Death row criminals from around the
    kingdom have been gathered here.
[20:35] Lugh
    They can be used for medical
    experiments and killing practice.
[20:39] Cian
    With that intellect and logical thinking,
    I'm excited for your future.
[20:44] Cian
    People experience tremendous resistance
    when killing another person.
[20:48] Cian
    Many lose their own lives because of it.
[20:50] Cian
    You must practice killing so
    that doesn't happen to you.
[20:54] Lugh
    I have a question.
[20:55] Cian
    I'll allow it.
[20:56] Lugh
    Why did you raise me to be
    hesitant to kill a person?
[21:01] Lugh
    You could've raised me to suppress my
    emotions and become an assassination tool.
[21:05] Cian
    That's a good question. The answer is...
[21:09] Cian
    because we're people, not tools.
[21:13] Cian
    We don't kill because we're ordered to.
[21:15] Cian
    We determine if a job will benefit the
    kingdom and understand why we're killing.
[21:19] Cian
    We do what we have to do with
    our hearts and minds intact.
[21:23] Cian
    You must possess human values in
    order to read the minds of others.
[21:27] Cian
    Humanity is a necessary
    weapon for assassination.
[21:31] Lugh
    I half understand and half don't.
[21:34] Cian
    That's fine for now. Keep thinking on it.
[21:39] Cian
    Come, Lugh.
[21:43] Cian
    It's time for your first kill.
[22:00] Margaret
    Please help me!
[22:01] Margaret
    I don't want to die!
[22:03] Cian
    Margaret, age 19.
[22:05] Cian
    Her crimes are armed robbery,
    murder, and arson.
[22:08] Margaret
    No! It wasn't on purpose!
[22:11] Cian
    While burglarizing an empty home,
[22:12] ---
    she was seen by the elderly couple that
    had returned home and murdered them.
[22:16] Margaret
    I was hungry. I was going to beg for food.
[22:19] Margaret
    But when they got home, they made a fuss.
[22:21] Cian
    She set fire to the house in order to
    destroy the evidence and fled the scene.
[22:25] Margaret
    I didn't mean to! I lost my composure!
[22:28] Cian
    She's guilty of countless other crimes, as well.
    She's been sentenced to death.
[22:31] Margaret
    Please spare me! I'll do anything!
[22:35] Cian
    Lugh, kill her however you deem fit.
[22:38] Margaret
    Please don't.
[22:40] Margaret
    Spare me! No!
[22:42] Margaret
    Don't kill me!
[22:45] Lugh
    It's all right, miss.
[22:47] Lugh
    Don't move.
[22:55] Lugh
    It's a sharp blade, and the
    adrenaline will minimize the pain.
[23:00] Lugh
    You'll lose consciousness from blood
    loss before you feel any pain.
[23:04] Lugh
    You'll die peacefully.
[23:05] Margaret
    You little brat!
[23:08] Margaret
    You tricked me!
[23:10] Margaret
    You said I'd be spared if I
    won him over with my tears!
[23:12] Margaret
    What the hell is this?!
[23:14] Margaret
    You won't get away with this, brat!
[23:16] Margaret
    I'll kill you!
[23:18] Margaret
    I'll burn you to death
    like I burned that hag!
[23:20] Margaret
    Die! Die!
[23:22] Margaret
    I hope you're eaten by demons in Hell!
[23:25] Lugh
    You're right.
[23:27] Lugh
    That might not be so bad...
[23:32] Lugh
    the next time I die.
