[00:02] Makoto/N
    The combat tournament has begun.
[00:04] Makoto/N
    In the first round, Daena faces Yuno.
[00:07] Makoto/N
    Due to a noble's dastardly scheme,
    my students will be fighting one another.
[00:17] Makoto/N
    And yet, they cannot go easy on each other.
[00:20] Makoto/N
    Competition is always without mercy.
[00:26] Ref
    The winner is Daena Severus.

    Night Fifteen   A Fierce Tournament
[02:01] Ref
    The next match will be the
    tournament's highest-level fight.
[02:04] Ref
    Both combatants are level 97.
[02:08] Ref
    First, Jin Rohan.
[02:11] Ref
    His opponent, Mithra Casper.
[02:14] Ref
    In this tournament, a handful of
    participants are over level 90.
[02:19] Ref
    In order to keep the playing field even,
    they will be using wooden swords.
[02:25] Makoto/Id
    Yeah, right. They're just
    doing it to spite my students.
[02:30] Ref
    The match will last ten minutes.
[02:32] Ref
    For safety reasons, those dolls will
    incur any damage taken by the students.
[02:37] Tomoe
    Those are the dolls?
[02:39] Makoto
    Yeah.
[02:40] Makoto
    The students don't take damage, but if
    even a single doll falls, the match is over.
[02:46] Makoto
    Each student is given three
    dolls in case of overkills.
[02:51] Mio
    Three wouldn't be enough.
[02:56] Ref
    Only self-supporting spells can
    be used in the warrior category.
[03:01] Ref
    Attack and healing spells are prohibited.
[03:05] Ref
    Now, then...
[03:08] Ref
    Begin!
[03:11] Jin
    Let's make this quick.
[03:12] Jin
    No hard feelings.
[03:14] Mithra
    Sure. Don't hold back.
[03:18] Mob
    What's wrong with you, big guy?
[03:19] Mob
    You're just defending!
[03:20] Mob
    Attack him!
[03:22] Tomoe
    Mithra's defensive movements
    and positioning are better.
[03:26] Tomoe
    He's effectively dampening
    his opponent's spirit.
[03:29] Makoto
    Yeah. The only reason his opponent hasn't
    stopped attacking is because he's Jin.
[03:35] Makoto
    If this match were determined by
    judgment, Jin would be the winner.
[03:44] Ref
    The winner is Jin Rohan.
[03:48] Tomoe
    Your students didn't disappoint.
[03:50] Tomoe
    That was a rather high-level match.
[03:53] Mio
    Personally, I believe Mithra won that fight.
[03:56] Makoto
    You mean he won the fight
    but lost the match?
[04:00] Makoto
    I know exactly what Jin is thinking.
[04:05] Ref
    Begin!
[04:07] Student B
    O spirits, hear my prayer.
[04:07] Student A
    O goddess, grant me your strength.
[04:10] Student B
    Grant me swift arrows of ice, so that I may...
[04:10] Student A
    Grant me the red miracle of destruction.
[04:12] Student A
    Form your flames into a spear...
[04:16] Makoto
    The mage category is a mess.
[04:19] Tomoe
    All the students except yours
    are doing a sloppy job.
[04:22] Mio
    Even orc children are better than this.
[04:27] Makoto
    They seem to be taking it seriously, though.
[04:30] Mob
    Go!
[04:30] Makoto
    The audience around us seems delighted, too.
[04:31] Mob
    That's it!
[04:32] Mob
    Amazing!
[04:33] Mob
    More!
[04:34] Makoto
    Yeah...
[04:36] Makoto/Id
    Next is Abelia and Shifu's match.
[04:39] Makoto/Id
    Before summer break,
    their levels were even, but...
[04:45] Shifu
    Az kafra swen!
[04:47] Mob
    She's charging in?
[04:47] Mob
    Isn't she a mage?
[04:49] Abelia
    Flaga ankasha mavis staja!
[04:52] Makoto/Id
    She's quick. She completed the
    incantation while evading her attack.
[04:58] Mio
    She moved like she was expecting
    that arrow to follow her.
[05:03] Abelia
    Crap—
[05:05] Tomoe
    But her opponent expected her to evade it.
[05:10] Shifu
    Spirits of the earth, seize my enemy.
[05:17] Mob
    What is that?
[05:18] Mob
    I've never seen that spell before!
[05:20] Makoto
    An earth spirit spell, huh?
[05:29] Abelia
    I surrender.
[05:31] Ref
    The winner is Shifu Rembrandt.
[05:34] Tomoe
    I wonder, how would they fare in a real fight?
[05:38] Makoto/Id
    The way this is going, Shifu will
    probably win the mage category.
[05:42] Noble A
    How utterly distasteful.
[05:45] Noble B
    The winner is one of the
    notorious Rembrandt sisters.
[05:49] Noble B
    She probably used her wealth to
    acquire expensive magical equipment.
[05:54] Lily
    Enough. You disgrace yourselves.
[05:56] Noble A
    Y-Your Highness...
[05:59] Lily
    Their fight was marvelous.
[06:03] Lily
    Their desire to try new things
[06:05] Lily
    instead of being satisfied with current
    combat techniques is admirable.
[06:08] Noble B
    But such underhanded fighting is hardly
    suitable for a soldier or knight.
[06:13] Lily
    Then what about our nation's hero?
[06:16] Lily
    Is it underhanded when he uses his mobility
    to dispatch demons from the skies?
[06:22] Augus
    I agree.
[06:25] Augus
    Tradition and ceremony don't reduce
    casualties on the battlefield.
[06:28] Augus
    They won't protect our lands.
[06:31] Augus
    Your words could be taken as
    insults against the hero.
[06:35] Augus
    It's distasteful.
[06:38] Luto
    I was surprised by their fighting, too.
[06:42] Luto
    They would surely fight marvelously
    with the goddess's blessing.
[06:48] Luto
    I'm rather looking forward to the next match.
[06:52] Makoto/Id
    In the second round of the mage category,
    the winner, Shifu, will fight Izumo.
[07:00] Izumo
    More spirit magic.
[07:05] Izumo
    Garzloa!
[07:12] Shifu
    Flamswen.
[07:20] Makoto/Id
    This is probably over.
SIGN    Round Two Winner: Shifu
[07:27] Makoto/Id
    In the second round of the warrior
    category, Jin will fight Daena.
[07:36] Ref
    The winner is Jin Rohan.
[07:40] Makoto/Id
    He's only casting enhancing
    spells between attacks.
[07:44] Makoto/Id
    His instincts are insane.
SIGN    Mage Category Final
[07:48] Makoto/Id
    Shifu's opponent is an older student.
[07:51] Makoto/Id
    He's apparently good enough to receive
    an offer from the court of Limia.
[07:55] Student A
    O goddess, grant me an azure
    yet invisible blade of wind.
[08:03] Shifu
    Ref?
[08:10] Shifu
    Az flaga swenia.
[08:11] Student A
    Damn it!
[08:15] Ref
    The winner is Shifu Rembrandt.
[08:19] Jin
    Impressive.
[08:21] Shifu
    I decided to scare him a little since
    he'll be on Hopleys' team tomorrow.
[08:26] Jin
    That was more than a little.
[08:28] Jin
    Does this mean you're upset
    about this tournament, too?
[08:31] Shifu
    I'll leave that up to your imagination.
[08:34] Shifu
    Jin, I'm sure you know already, but...
[08:37] Jin
    Yeah, of course.
[08:42] Jin
    Watch me, Kuzunoha-sensei.
[08:54] Ilumgand
    It's tradition to wear this to formal events.
[08:59] Jin
    I have no complaints.
[09:01] Jin
    Let's have a good match.
[09:04] Ilumgand
    Your luck ran out when you decided
    to take Kuzunoha's class.
[09:09] Ref
    The warrior category final between Ilumgand
    Hopleys and Jin Rohan will now begin!
[09:27] Ilumgand
    Noble blood that flows through my body,
[09:29] Ilumgand
    awaken to become my blue strength!
[09:40] Ilumgand
    R-Ref!
[09:44] Ref
    Jin Rohan, you seem to be fighting passively.
[09:48] Ref
    Please participate more actively.
[09:50] Jin
    Understood.
[09:53] Ilumgand
    You bastard! Do you really think
    you'll get away with—
[10:18] Ref
    Th-The winner is Jin Rohan.
[10:29] Makoto/Id
    Yup. Nice work, Jin.
[10:31] Makoto/Id
    His equipment may be inferior, but his
    level and instincts are way ahead.
[10:39] Ilumgand
    This isn't over. There's still the team battle.
[10:44] Ilumgand
    I swear... I swear...
[10:47] Ilumgand
    I'll kill him.
[10:52] Makoto
    It's time for the winners of both
    categories to fight each other.
[10:56] Makoto
    The champion of the whole
    tournament will be decided.
[10:59] Tomoe
    Shifu has a great advantage.
    I'm not sure Jin stands a chance.
[11:04] Mio
    None at all.
[11:05] Makoto
    Jin might have some tricks up his...
[11:08] Makoto
    Huh?
[11:09] Shifu
    Forgive me...
[11:13] Shifu
    but let us end this.
[11:23] Ref
    The winner is Shifu Rembrandt.
[11:26] Makoto
    I am not surprised.
[11:27] Makoto
    It's the expected outcome
[11:29] Makoto
    of this tournament.
[11:30] Both
    It's only natural.
[11:32] Makoto/N
    The individual event was won
    by the spellcasting beauty,
[11:37] Makoto/N
    but the team event would
    take place the following day.
[11:40] Makoto/N
    The students' tournament continued.
[11:44] Makoto/N
    Meanwhile, Misumi Makoto received
    troubling news from the merchant's guild.
[11:53] Rembrandt
    Anyway, they ask that you
    visit the guild tomorrow.
[11:58] Rembrandt
    I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you.
[12:01] Makoto
    Not at all. Don't worry about it.
[12:04] Rembrandt
    The dignitaries of every nation have taken
    an interest in the Kuzunoha Trading Company.
[12:11] Rembrandt
    Perhaps your day of reckoning has come.
SIGN    Tournament Team Event Round One
[12:20] Yuno
    What?
[12:21] Yuno
    Kuzunoha-sensei can't come?
[12:23] Jin
    No. Apparently the merchant's
    guild asked to see him.
[12:26] Abelia
    Wh-What about Shiki-san?
[12:28] Jin
    Shiki-san and his two attendants
    will watch the matches.
[12:31] Abelia
    Oh, good.
[12:32] Daena
    It is?
[12:33] Izumo
    All you care about is Shiki-san.
[12:35] Abelia
    M-More importantly,
[12:36] Abelia
    what changes were made
    to the team event rules?
[12:40] Jin
    The party's total level
    must be less than 365.
[12:45] Jin
    We'll have to adjust our
    numbers for the match.
[12:48] Izumo
    So only three of us can fight.
[12:51] Shifu
    It's ridiculous.
[12:53] Shifu
    It's not as though that will change anything.
[12:56] Yuno
    Right?
[13:00] Lily/Id
    It's like they're fighting
    scarecrows or wooden dolls.
[13:04] Lily/Id
    This Kuzunoha is an incredible teacher.
[13:09] Lily/Id
    It would be a shame to allow
    another nation to claim him.
[13:12] Lily/Id
    Dangerous, too.
[13:16] Augus
    I'm impressed there are students this skilled.
[13:19] Joshua
    Their teacher's name is Kuzunoha.
[13:21] Joshua
    He also represents the
    Kuzunoha Trading Company.
[13:26] Augus
    There are still great men yet
    to be discovered in this world.
[13:30] Zara
    I am Zara Hardis, leader of the
    Rotsgard merchant's guild branch.
[13:35] Makoto
    My name is Kuzunoha.
    It's an honor to meet you.
[13:39] Zara
    An honor? Then why haven't
    you asked to see me until now?
[13:44] Makoto
    I had to wait a whole month
    for an appointment with you.
[13:48] Makoto
    Forgive me for not introducing
    myself sooner.
[13:52] Zara
    That's a rather delayed apology.
[13:54] Zara
    The truth is, I've been asked to investigate
[13:57] Zara
    the Kuzunoha Trading Company's
    merchandise and distribution.
[14:01] Zara
    Some grave opinions have been
    expressed about your company.
[14:04] Makoto
    Grave opinions?
[14:06] Zara
    That the Kuzunoha Trading Company
    receives help from demons.
[14:11] Makoto
    I'm offended. We're an honest business.
[14:15] Zara
    I'm sure you are.
[14:17] Zara
    The temple guaranteed the quality and
    production methods of your products, as well.
[14:21] Makoto/Id
    The temple?
[14:23] Makoto/Id
    Oh, that thing the other day.
[14:26] Zara
    The issue is with your distribution.
[14:28] Zara
    We've confirmed that you purchase
[14:30] Zara
    raw materials through markets
    operated directly by the guild.
[14:34] Zara
    But we've been unable to confirm any road
    travel records of your carts and wagons.
[14:39] Zara
    How are you transporting your materials?
[14:42] Makoto/Id
    I can't tell him about the demiplane.
[14:44] Makoto/Id
    I'll have to trick him somehow.
[14:47] Makoto
    We use the same roads as
    other trading companies,
[14:50] Makoto
    but because we borrow carts and wagons
    from the Rembrandt Trading Company,
[14:53] Makoto
    there are no travel records under the
    Kuzunoha Trading Company's name.
[14:57] Zara
    I see... But what about this?
[15:00] Zara
    These documents compare the materials
[15:02] Zara
    you purchased from the market with
    materials used in the products you sell.
[15:06] Zara
    It's clear that you're acquiring materials from
    somewhere other than the markets, too.
[15:11] Makoto
    This is the first I've heard
    of that investigation.
[15:14] Makoto
    If you'd told me about it,
    I could've offered my cooperation.
[15:17] Zara
    Your cooperation?
[15:18] Zara
    It's for the guild to decide if your
    trading company is innocent or not.
[15:22] Makoto
    Is it not natural for me to cooperate with
    your investigation and clear my name?
[15:27] Zara
    You are naïve.
[15:29] Zara
    I'm amazed you can operate
    a trading company like that.
[15:32] Zara
    Why can't you behave appropriately
    for your status and circumstances?
[15:36] Makoto/Id
    Why?
[15:38] Makoto/Id
    What did I do to deserve this?
[15:41] Makoto
    Allow me to be direct.
[15:43] Makoto
    What is it that you want me to do?
[15:47] Zara
    We want you to submit your distribution
    methods to the guild and share them with us.
[15:54] Makoto/Id
    Is he trying to extort me by offering
    conditions I can't accept?
[15:59] Makoto
    I can't agree to those terms.
[16:01] Makoto
    Is this something we can
    resolve with money?
[16:03] Zara
    You're really not cut out
    to be a merchant, are you?
[16:08] Zara
    You just admitted to the existence of a
    transportation method you're hiding from us.
[16:13] Zara
    That lie has damaged our trust in you.
[16:17] Zara
    A decent merchant would never
    do anything like that.
[16:22] Zara
    Then you asked if this matter
    could be resolved with money.
[16:25] Zara
    That was an unbelievably bad move, as well.
[16:27] Zara
    Do you have any idea of the scale
[16:29] Zara
    of the trading companies that have
    submitted complaints against you?
[16:32] Makoto/Id
    I-I...
[16:34] Zara
    Since Rembrandt got involved,
    I expected more from you.
[16:40] Zara
    But your judgment and comprehension
    are utterly lacking.
[16:43] Zara
    You're an incompetent child
    who's made it on luck alone.
[16:48] Zara
    For now, you will pay us 90%
    of your monthly profits.
[16:52] Zara
    Then no one will have
    anything to complain about.
[16:55] Makoto
    Ninety percent of my profits?
[16:56] Zara
    These companies earn dozens, if not hundreds
    of times as much as yours annually.
[17:02] Zara
    They're not going to ask
    for just a few gold coins.
[17:05] Makoto
    Th-That's a clearly unreasonable demand.
[17:08] Makoto
    Are you going to allow this extortion?
[17:10] Zara
    You said you would pay.
[17:13] Zara
    It's not the guild's concern.
[17:15] Makoto
    The nail that sticks out gets
    hammered down, does it?
[17:18] Makoto
    I see it doesn't pay to be
    an honest businessman.
[17:21] Zara
    There's no end to your naïveté.
[17:23] Zara
    Your stores employ mostly
    demihumans, don't they?
[17:26] Zara
    Then why not sell to only demihumans, too?
[17:30] Zara
    If you set up stalls outside cities,
    you'd be unrestricted.
[17:34] Makoto/Id
    This asshole...
[17:35] Zara
    Those who wish to become merchants must
    knock on the doors built by their predecessors,
[17:41] Zara
    learn the basics of business,
    and build relationships.
[17:43] Zara
    Only then can they open their own shops!
[17:45] Zara
    No one's allowed to conduct business
    just because they have the funds.
[17:52] Zara
    Oh, and it doesn't matter how
    strong your followers are.
[17:55] Zara
    If you attempt to resolve this with violence,
[17:58] Zara
    the Kuzunoha Trading Company will instantly
    be branded allies of the demons.
[18:01] Zara
    You'll be traitors to hyumankind.
[18:03] Makoto
    This is ridiculous.
[18:04] Zara
    No. You're just naïve.
[18:08] Zara
    Regarding the money,
    the guild will intervene,
[18:11] Zara
    so close down your shop
    and go back to Tsige.
[18:15] Zara
    This is what you get for not doing what
    you were supposed to do, Kuzunoha.
[18:19] Zara
    Is your idea of being an honest
    businessman bumming around?
[18:22] Zara
    By my values, I'd call that being lazy.
[18:27] Makoto
    You're being rather kind
    for someone mocking me.
[18:31] Zara
    Because then Rembrandt will owe me a favor.
[18:36] Zara
    He must be getting old to
    show this kind of weakness.
[18:40] Makoto/Id
    Am I causing problems
    for Rembrandt-san, too?
[18:48] Zara
    But you will tell us about
    your distribution methods.
[18:52] Zara
    Now talk.
[18:56] Makoto/Id
    I didn't know what to do anymore,
[19:01] Makoto/Id
    so I explained that I used my magically
    powerful follower's teleportation spell.
[19:08] Makoto/Id
    Naturally, I didn't mention the demiplane.
[19:11] Makoto/Id
    I thought my business had been going well.
[19:17] Mio
    Very well. I'll deal with that
    representative this very instant.
[19:21] Tomoe
    Mio, calm down.
[19:22] Shiki
    We should've gone with you.
[19:25] Tomoe
    If we'd gone with him,
    it might've turned into a bloodbath.
[19:30] Tomoe
    Don't let it bother you, Young Master.
[19:33] Mio
    The master became a merchant so he
    could provide everyone with medicine.
[19:38] Mio
    Why does he need to know how to get along
    with merchants who only care about profits?
[19:42] Tomoe
    You're being naïve.
[19:44] Tomoe
    I won't say he did the wrong thing,
    but this is part of doing business.
[19:49] Shiki
    Especially if you're
    conducting honest business.
[19:53] Mio
    There's something wrong with both of you!
[19:55] Tomoe
    Young Master, this could be an
    opportunity to abandon hyumankind.
[19:59] Tomoe
    Don't you intend to establish a
    relationship with demons eventually anyway?
[20:03] Shiki
    Demons are more tolerant of other
    species than hyumans, too.
[20:08] Mio
    This is all too complicated for me,
[20:12] Mio
    but I don't think he needs to serve anyone
    who would exploit his pure benevolence!
[20:19] Makoto
    Yeah. Tomoe is right.
[20:22] Makoto
    I intend to establish a
    relationship with demons.
[20:25] Makoto
    Once the academy festival is over, I plan
    to borrow or acquire the land Tomoe found.
[20:31] Makoto
    I may end up owing the demons a lot.
[20:35] Makoto
    Ideally, I'd like to continue
    doing business with hyumans
[20:39] Makoto
    while maintaining a connection
    with demons, but...
[20:53] Makoto
    Kaleneon, once part of Elysion.
[20:56] Makoto
    This was my parents' home country.
[21:01] Makoto
    My parents met here, became adventurers,
    and traveled around the world.
[21:07] Makoto
    In other words, it's like my home country, too.
[21:10] Shiki
    Aren't Eva the librarian and
    Luria of Gotetsu from there?

    Yes. It's their homeland, too.
[21:16] Makoto
    That's why I'm going to ask
    them to make a decision.
[21:21] Makoto
    If they agree...
[21:29] Tomoe
    That sounds interesting!
[21:30] Shiki
    Indeed. It could be the trump card
    that solves your current problems.
[21:36] Mio
    I have no complaints with your decision.
[21:41] Makoto/Id
    They all accepted my choice,
[21:44] Makoto/Id
    so I won't hesitate anymore.
[21:49] Makoto/Id
    The two heroes sided with the hyumans,
[21:52] Makoto/Id
    so there should be no problem with
    the third man from another world
[21:56] Makoto/Id
    overlooking some of the demons' actions.
[21:59] Makoto/Id
    Right, shitty goddess?
