***SIGN*** Kaleneon / Aensland Domain
**[00:03] Ilumgand**
I see. You were thinking the same thing?
**[00:06] Luria**
Yes.
**[00:08] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Then swear to me that we'll
fight together someday.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
My name is Ilumgand Hopleys.
**[00:18] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
I am the second son of the Hopleys
house of the great nation of Limia.
**[00:21] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
I lament the corruption of our
nobility and seek reform.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Those born with noble blood must
behave in a manner befitting nobles.
**[00:30] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
On our lands granted to us by the king,
we must protect our weak people,
**[00:33] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
acting as their sword and shield.
**[00:39] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
How was that?
**[00:48] Ilumgand/Id**
* That sight was more beautiful to me*
* than any blessing from the goddess.*
**[00:54] Ilumgand/Id**
*The memory still remains with me.*

Night Sixteen A Certain Student's Secret
**[02:34] Makoto/Id**
* Zara-san refused to treat*
* me like a merchant.*
**[02:39] Makoto/Id**
* I hate to admit it, but it's true*
* that I'm not a very good one.*
**[02:42] Makoto/Id**
*He was right about me being naïve, too.*
**[02:45] Makoto/Id**
* And ultimately, I'm trying to*
* establish a relationship with demons.*
**[02:49] Makoto/Id**
*I'd be betraying this city.*
**[02:53] Makoto/Id**
* I may not be able to stay*
* in Rotsgard anymore.*
**[02:57] Makoto/Id**
* The last thing I can do*
* for my students is...*
**[03:04] Rona**
*Kuzunoha, I'm glad to hear from you.*
**[03:08] Makoto**
* Forgive me for contacting*
* you telepathically.*
**[03:10] Makoto**
*I actually have a request for you, Rona-san.*
**[03:13] Rona**
*Let's hear it.*
**[03:15] Makoto**
*I've been tolerating it until now,*
**[03:19] Makoto**
*but by the time the tournament ends,*
**[03:21] Makoto**
* could you have the demons hidden*
* in Rotsgard leave the city?*
**[03:27] Rona**
*May I ask why?*
**[03:29] Makoto**
*It's for Jin and Abelia.*
**[03:32] Makoto**
* A certain student has been*
* acting in a threatening way.*
**[03:36] Makoto**
* I don't want there to be any more*
* trouble at the academy festival.*
**[03:41] Rona**
* I didn't know them long,*
* but I still studied alongside them.*
**[03:46] Rona**
*In that case, I'll do what I can, Kuzunoha-dono.*
**[03:54] Makoto/Id**
* Now all I have to do is*
* set that plan in motion.*
**[04:05] Makoto**
* Forgive me for not sending someone*
* to escort you at this hour.*
**[04:08] Makoto**
* All my employees are out today.*
* It's just me here.*
**[04:13] Eva**
I don't mind an invitation from
you at any hour, Kuzunoha-sensei.
**[04:19] Eva/Id**
*I'll accommodate whatever demand he makes.*
**[04:22] Eva/Id**
* After all, he's finally*
* asking me for something.*
**[04:26] Eva**
By the way, congratulations
on your students' victories.
**[04:29] Eva**
Everyone was wondering who taught them.
**[04:33] Makoto**
* It was the fruits of their*
* talent and hard work.*
**[04:37] Makoto**
*The credit belongs to them and them alone.*
**[04:40] Eva**
You're as modest as ever.
**[04:42] Makoto**
* More importantly, regarding the*
* reason I invited you here...*
**[04:53] Eva**
Sensei...
**[04:55] Eva**
Rather, Kuzunoha-san. Are you serious?
**[04:59] Makoto**
*Yes.*
**[05:03] Makoto/Id**
*Now there's no turning back.*
**[05:07] Makoto/Id**
* I'll probably have to leave the*
* academy, so at the very least...*
***SIGN*** Combat Tournament Team Final
**[05:13] Makoto/Id**
* I need to observe my students'*
* efforts until the end.*
**[05:20] Makoto**
What did you two think of
the students' fighting?
**[05:23] Mio**
They're not as good as Toa and the others,
but they've got a knack for it.
**[05:27] Tomoe**
Jin and Mithra's battle was impressive.
**[05:31] Makoto**
You mean how he won the
fight but lost the match.
**[05:36] Tomoe**
Personally, I've told Mithra
I'll grant him a reward.
**[05:41] Tomoe**
His choices are a duel, a duel, or a duel.
**[05:45] Makoto/Id**
*So there's only one choice.*
**[05:48] Daena**
Did you know?
**[05:50] Daena**
Tomoe-san and Mio-san are over level 1,500.
**[05:53] Shifu**
Yes. By the way, Mithra-senpai...
**[05:56] Yuno**
Why do you look so troubled?
**[06:00] Mithra**
Tomoe-san said she'd train with
me after the academy festival.
**[06:07] Daena**
Seriously?
**[06:08] Mithra**
She told me not to die
with a straight face.
**[06:13] Mithra**
Again, she's level 1,500.
**[06:18] Shiki**
It's time, everyone.
**[06:20] Shiki**
Let's begin the battle for a spot in the final.
**[06:23] Jin**
Let's do this.
**[06:25] Mithra**
I will win.
**[06:26] Shifu**
I'll win the team battle, as well.
**[06:29] Yuno**
You're not taking my spot.
**[06:31] Daena**
I've got a secret strategy.
**[06:33] Izumo**
I've got a strategy of my own.
**[06:35] Abelia**
I will participate in the final
with Shiki-san in the audience.
**[06:42] Makoto**
What is that?
**[06:45] Tomoe**
He's using some kind of magic
to enhance his abilities.
**[06:49] Tomoe**
It's probably a side effect of that.
**[06:51] Mio**
He looks like he'd taste disgusting,
**[06:54] Mio**
like some kind of adulterated hyuman.
**[06:58] Makoto**
Shiki, how were the students?
**[07:01] Shiki**
They fought fiercely for
the right to participate
**[07:03] Shiki**
using the rock-paper-scissors
game you taught them.
**[07:07] Shiki**
Anyway, that student they'll be facing...
**[07:10] Makoto**
You noticed?
**[07:11] Shiki**
He's using some type of magical medicine.
**[07:15] Shiki**
But I'm more interested
in that amulet of his.
**[07:20] Shiki**
It's disguised to seem like it
increases his magic resistance.
**[07:25] Makoto**
Disguised?
**[07:27] Makoto**
That's certainly odd.
**[07:29] Shiki**
In reality, I believe it absorbs something.
**[07:33] Tomoe**
I've got a bad feeling about this.
**[07:35] Mio**
Indeed. The entire city gives
off a strange feeling.
**[07:39] Makoto**
Give the students any
weapons they might need.
**[07:44] Shiki**
Understood.
**[07:46] Jin**
Let's go. Don't hold back against Ilumgand.
**[07:49] Izumo**
We know.
**[07:51] Izumo**
We finally get to test your temporary
enhancement skill in a real battle.
**[07:55] Yuno**
If you let your guard down,
we'll steal your thunder.
**[08:02] Daena**
Why did I go with rock?
**[08:04] Abelia**
I'd be in the final if you hadn't drawn.
**[08:07] Shifu**
Who throws paper four times in a row?
**[08:10] Mithra**
I didn't get to participate
in a single team battle.
**[08:14] Ilumgand**
I'll crush them.
**[08:16] Ilumgand**
I'll crush them.
**[08:18] Ilumgand**
I'll crush them!
**[08:20] Jin**
What are you getting so worked up about?
**[08:24] Jin**
It's too late for that.
**[08:26] Izumo**
There's clearly something wrong with him,
but the ref is pretending not to notice.
**[08:30] Yuno**
Yuck.
**[08:32] Makoto/N**
*Hidden behind the student's strange behavior*
**[08:36] Makoto/N**
*was a truth unknown even to Misumi Makoto.*
**[08:48] Ilumgand/Id**
*There are two people I can't forget.*
**[09:01] Ilumgand/Id**
*One is Otonashi Hibiki.*
**[09:07] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
I wish I could've left school to help you.
**[09:11] (Flashback) Hibiki**
Your studies and the connections
you'll make there are important.
**[09:15] (Flashback) Hibiki**
Once you graduate and return to
the kingdom, we'll fight together.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Hibiki-san...
**[09:23] (Flashback) Hibiki**
I'd feel encouraged to have your help.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Hibiki**
As fellow warriors,
I'll wait for the day you return.
**[09:35] Ilumgand/Id**
* As the hero of Limia, she gave*
* shape to my dreams and ideals.*
**[09:42] Ilumgand/Id**
*And the other is...*
**[09:45] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Luria?
**[09:50] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Is that you, Luria Aensland?
**[09:52] (Flashback) Luria**
Who are you?
**[09:54] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
It's me, Ilumgand.
Of the Hopleys family of Limia.
**[09:59] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
We used to play together in Kaleneon.
**[10:02] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
I remember the flowering fields of Agarest.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Student 2**
Ilum-san, we learned about
Kaleneon in our recent lecture.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Student 3**
It fell at the start of the major invasion.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Yeah.
**[10:16] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
She's the daughter of the Aenslands,
a noble family that prospered in Kaleneon.
**[10:21] (Flashback) Student 1**
But weren't they destroyed by demons?
**[10:24] (Flashback) Student 1**
All the nobles of Kaleneon were killed.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Hey, cut it out.
**[10:28] (Flashback) Student 1**
Sorry.
**[10:30] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
She's Luria.
**[10:32] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
You used to wear that same choker.
**[10:38] (Flashback) Luria**
Yes.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Luria**
It's true. I am Luria.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Luria**
You probably met me once, as well.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
You're a noble.
What are you doing in this city?
**[10:52] (Flashback) Luria**
I was young, so I don't remember clearly,
**[10:56] (Flashback) Luria**
but apparently my parents
sent me to safety.
**[11:03] Ilumgand/Id**
*She was alive. That was enough for me.*
**[11:08] Ilumgand/Id**
* But I couldn't suppress the rage-like*
* emotion I felt at the thought*
**[11:10] Ilumgand/Id**
* that she might've forgotten the oath*
* we made in the flowering fields.*
**[11:13] (Flashback) Student 1**
You abandoned your people and lands to flee?
**[11:16] (Flashback) Student 2**
Nobles should engage the enemy.
**[11:20] (Flashback) Student 3**
Are you so desperate to live
that you'd become a waitress?
**[11:23] (Flashback) Student 3**
You should be ashamed.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Yeah. You're an embarrassment
to hyumankind.
**[11:28] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Both the Aensland family and you yourself.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
How dare you abandon your noble
responsibility for your own survival?
**[11:35] (Flashback) Luria**
You've never truly faced death before.
**[11:40] (Flashback) Luria**
You have no idea how I've lived.
**[11:44] (Flashback) Luria**
You've no right to speak to me like that.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Student 2**
What was that?
You dare insult us, you coward?!
**[11:53] (Flashback) Student 3**
We wouldn't cling to life and
flee from battle like you did!
**[11:58] (Flashback) Luria**
Those who arrogantly make such bold claims
are only capable of bullying the weak.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Luria**
You couldn't possibly risk your lives in war.
**[12:13] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
No, I just—
**[12:15] (Flashback) Luria**
I'm in a hurry.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Luria**
Excuse me.
**[12:21] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Wait! Listen to me!
**[12:23] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
Don't be rude!
**[12:26] Makoto**
*That's enough.*
**[12:32] Ilumgand/Id**
* I don't even want to recall*
* what happened next.*
**[12:37] Ilumgand/Id**
*I should've gone to see Luria again, but...*
**[12:41] Ilumgand/Id**
*Why does he have to keep getting in my way?*
**[12:48] (Flashback) Karen**
You're Ilumgand-sama, aren't you?
**[12:50] (Flashback) Karen**
Don't worry. I'm a student at the academy.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Karen**
There's something I'd like
to discuss with you.
**[12:59] (Flashback) Karen**
This is a magical medicine being
developed at the academy.
**[13:03] (Flashback) Karen**
It dramatically improves your
physical and magical abilities.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Karen**
Would you like to try it?
**[13:10] Ilumgand/Id**
* I wanted power so I could defeat*
* Kuzunoha and see Luria again, but...*
**[13:18] (Flashback) Student 1**
Ilum-san!
**[13:19] (Flashback) Student 2**
Are you all right?
**[13:20] (Flashback) Student 1**
You seem unwell of late.
**[13:24] (Flashback) Ilumgand**
I'm fine. It's nothing.
**[13:27] Ilumgand**
* I need more. Don't you have*
* a more effective medicine?*
**[13:31] Karen**
* I could get you some,*
* but there are some side effects.*
**[13:36] Ilumgand**
*I don't care what it is.*
**[13:38] Ilumgand**
*Bring it to me right away.*
**[13:40] Karen**
*Very well.*
**[13:41] Karen**
* I'll also give you this amulet*
* that increases magic resistance.*
**[13:45] Karen**
*It's a gift from me.*
**[13:49] Ilumgand**
*That's not enough to earn my gratitude.*
**[13:51] Karen**
*Of course it isn't.*
**[13:53] Karen**
* I shall continue to provide*
* all the assistance I can.*
**[13:56] Karen**
*I humbly beg your pardon.*
**[14:05] Ilumgand/Id**
*I had no idea what was happening.*
**[14:08] Ilumgand/Id**
* I didn't realize I was being used or that*
* there was something wrong with my body.*
**[14:22] Jin**
Izumo, Yuno!
**[14:23] Both**
Got it!
**[14:26] Mio**
They've increased their speed
through physical enhancement.
**[14:29] Tomoe**
Those two will handle the six nobodies.
**[14:32] Student 1**
Th-They're coming!
**[14:35] Jin**
Prepare yourself.
**[14:36] Ilumgand**
I'll crush you!
**[14:40] Jin/Id**
*So heavy!*
**[14:49] Jin**
Damn. You've embarrassed
me in front of our teacher.
**[14:53] Jin**
Sorry, Izumo and Yuno.
**[14:56] Jin**
I'm starting without you.
**[14:58] Ilumgand**
You nuisance. I'll crush you!
**[15:01] Ilumgand**
Kuzunoha!
**[15:05] Yuno**
Take this!
**[15:08] Yuno**
Bull's-eye!
**[15:10] Izumo**
Satania, bind them!
**[15:15] Yuno**
One!
**[15:18] Yuno**
Two!
**[15:21] Yuno**
Three!
**[15:23] Yuno**
And then...
**[15:26] Yuno**
Four!
**[15:30] Yuno**
Got my spear back, too.
**[15:34] Yuno**
Looks like I win, Izumo-kun.
**[15:37] Izumo**
You beat me.
**[15:40] Izumo**
The short incantation reduces
the power of the wind blade.
**[15:45] Yuno**
That just leaves...
**[15:50] Izumo**
Jin, you were supposed to wait!
**[15:52] Izumo**
We promised we'd fight him together!
**[15:55] Jin**
You've gotten pretty tough, Ilumgand-senpai.
**[15:58] Jin**
But don't give up yet!
**[16:07] Yuno**
Aw, shucks. There won't be
anything left for us to do.
**[16:11] Izumo**
Wait! His dolls...
**[16:13] Yuno**
They're hardly damaged! What's going on?
**[16:16] Izumo**
Jin's mixing in attacks
that should knock him out.
**[16:27] Mob**
Seriously?
**[16:28] Mob**
That student...
**[16:29] Mob**
There's something wrong with him.
**[16:32] Ilumgand**
If not...
**[16:33] Ilumgand**
If not for him...
**[16:36] Jin**
Ref, are we good to keep fighting?
He's acting weird.
**[16:40] Ref**
H-He seems to want to continue the match.
**[16:44] Ref**
His dolls are hardly damaged.
**[16:46] Ref**
Continue.
**[16:48] Ilumgand**
I-I was supposed to achieve
my ideals with the hero.
**[16:55] Ilumgand**
Kuzunoha! Stay out of my way, Kuzunoha!
**[16:58] Jin**
That's not my problem. I'm not my teacher.
**[17:01] Jin**
And the ideals of someone
who'd fight dirty in a match...
**[17:07] Jin**
aren't worth hearing!
**[17:11] Jin**
Izumo, Yuno! With me!
**[17:13] Jin**
Let's wrap this up!
**[17:20] Jin**
You've lost your mind!
**[17:23] Izumo**
Yuno, I'm counting on you!
**[17:25] Yuno**
Got it!
**[17:26] Izumo**
Aeriel!
**[17:28] Izumo**
You've got 20 seconds!
**[17:29] Yuno**
I know! Here I come!
**[17:37] Makoto/Id**
*A jump kick and aerial combo.*
**[17:40] Makoto/Id**
*Though I'm far from home,*
**[17:41] Makoto/Id**
*something about that move seems*
**[17:42] Makoto/Id**
*vaguely Japanese.*
**[17:44] Yuno**
Since you love weapons enough to eat them,
**[17:48] Yuno**
here's a gift for you!
**[17:53] Yuno**
Got him.
**[17:55] Jin**
Crap! She's falling!
**[17:56] Izumo**
Yuno!
**[18:02] Yuno**
Don't worry. Even I can use
a bit of floating magic.
**[18:07] Izumo**
Oh, yeah?
**[18:09] Jin**
You could've said so sooner.
**[18:12] Jin**
Either way, that was a terrifying attack.
**[18:15] Izumo**
He can't defend properly in the air.
**[18:18] Izumo**
I figured it'd be effective against
someone who hadn't seen it before.
**[18:21] Yuno**
Our current goal is to pull
that off against Zwei-san.
**[18:29] Ref**
Th-The match is over!
**[18:38] Mio**
The girl who finished him off
has some impressive moves.
**[18:43] Tomoe**
Indeed. That mid-air flurry
of blows was something else.
**[18:47] Tomoe**
Perhaps I'll try it, as well.
**[18:50] Makoto**
I'm glad I got to see their match.
**[18:53] Makoto**
I was worried about the magical medicine.
**[18:56] Makoto**
I'm going to go honor the winners.
**[18:59] Makoto**
I want to check on Ilumgand, too.
**[19:02] Mio**
Young Master, look.
**[19:09] Makoto/Id**
*They're on alert?*
**[19:11] Makoto/Id**
*What's going on?*
**[19:12] Tomoe**
It's releasing some rather nasty waves.
**[19:18] Mio**
This alien mana...
**[19:21] Mio**
It's binding to the old
emotions in his memories.
**[19:29] Shiki**
Young Master, it's too late for him.
**[19:32] Makoto**
Huh?
**[19:34] Shiki**
He's no longer hyuman.
**[19:36] Shiki**
He's begun to mutate.
**[19:39] Makoto**
Mutate? Who would do that,
and for what purpose?
**[19:42] Shiki**
There's only one who would do that.
**[19:46] Shiki**
You know who I mean, don't you?
**[19:49] Makoto**
That can't be.
**[19:54] Makoto**
But Rona-san complied with my request.
**[19:56] Makoto**
She said she studied with
Jin and the others, too.
**[20:00] Shiki**
Young Master, did she say she
wouldn't do anything in Rotsgard?
**[20:06] Makoto**
Well...
**[20:08] Shiki**
Then even if this were her doing,
she wouldn't be breaking her promise.
**[20:14] Shiki**
At the very least, that's what she'll say.
**[20:16] Shiki**
That's just how demons operate.
**[20:20] Makoto/Id**
* Was I wrong to think I could*
* associate with demons?*
**[20:26] Tomoe**
These demons aren't easy
to get along with, either.
**[20:29] Mio**
Everyone's always trying to use
or deceive the young master.
**[20:35] Mio**
They'll pay for this.
**[20:37] Makoto/Id**
* Given the circumstances,*
* is it even possible?*
**[20:44] Makoto**
*Would you like to retake your homeland?*
**[20:48] Makoto/Id**
* I wanted to restore Kaleneon and*
* hide everything related to myself*
**[20:53] Makoto/Id**
* and the Kuzunoha Trading*
* Company there, but...*
**[20:57] Makoto/Id**
