[00:02] Tomoe
    The moon looks impressive tonight.
[00:05] Tomoe
    Traveling on moonlit nights is quite nice.
[00:10] Mio
    If only I could hear the
    young master's voice.
[00:14] Tomoe
    I thought you wanted to surprise
    him by learning to cook.
[00:17] Tomoe
    Where are you headed?
[00:19] Mio
    To the port town of Koran.
[00:21] Mio
    I thought I'd acquire the seaweed and kelp
    used in the Japanese dishes he likes.
[00:28] Tomoe
    How admirable.
[00:31] Mio
    Tomoe-san, aren't you going to investigate the
    site of the battle against the Dragon Slayer?
[00:36] Tomoe
    Yes. Apparently a massive lake
    formed after their battle.
[00:41] Tomoe
    I must investigate the reason.
[00:43] Mio
    Then we'll both be lonely for a while.
[00:46] Tomoe
    Shiki reported that the young
    master has arrived in Rotsgard.
[00:52] Tomoe
    Once things settle down there,
    they'll be able to return to the demiplane.
[00:56] Mio
    So until that time...
[00:58] Tomoe
    We must be patient.

[02:31] [SONG] Sign
    Central City of Rotsgard
[02:32] Makoto
    Ooh... There's a wide variety
    of shops and goods.

[02:36] [SONG] Eptitle
    Night Four Why Am I a Teacher?!
[02:36] Shiki
    I'm sure business here is quite competitive.
[02:40] Makoto
    You're right. We'll start by walking
    around town to gather information.
[02:46] Makoto
    What are they doing?
[02:47] Shiki
    Extorting her, perhaps?
[02:50] Makoto
    Hyumans persecuting hyumans, huh?
[02:51] Shiki
    It's not uncommon.
[02:53] Shiki
    There are few demihumans in cities.
[02:56] Makoto
    Hyumans generally act like they're the
    only victims in situations like these,
[03:02] Makoto
    but the look in her eyes seems more...
[03:05] Makoto/Id
    Cold? Like she's given up?
    No, that's not right.
[03:09] Makoto
    I'm a bit curious.
[03:12] Shiki
    Young Master?
[03:13] Ilumgand
    No, I just—
[03:15] Luria
    I'm in a hurry.
[03:17] Luria
    Excuse me.
[03:22] Ilumgand
    Wait! Listen to me!
[03:24] Ilumgand
    Don't be rude!
[03:26] Makoto
    That's enough.
[03:29] Student 1
    Are you insulting us?
[03:31] Makoto/Id
    They don't even notice me.
[03:31] Students
    Who do you think you are?
[03:33] Students
    Apologize to Ilum-san.
[03:35] Shiki
    You there. Isn't that enough?
[03:39] Makoto
    Why was that a question?
[03:41] Ilumgand
    Who are you?
[03:43] Student 2
    Can't you see these clothes?
[03:46] Student 3
    Are you two idiots?
[03:47] Makoto/Id
    Their clothes?
[03:48] Makoto/Id
    I think those are Rotsgard Academy uniforms.
[03:53] Makoto/Id
    If I were with Tomoe or Mio...
[03:56] Both
    Young Master, may we kill them?
[03:59] Makoto/Id
    But Shiki...
[04:01] Shiki
    Young Master, may I kill them?
[04:03] Makoto
    Shiki?!
[04:04] Shiki
    They dare to call me an idiot?
[04:06] Shiki
    Or were they calling you one?
[04:10] Shiki
    They must all die.
[04:12] Makoto
    W-Wait. Don't jump straight to murder.
[04:15] Shiki
    I see. Shall I inflict the
    greatest pain upon them first?
[04:19] Makoto
    No! Just convince them to leave.
[04:22] Shiki
    Very well.
[04:25] Student 1
    Look at them. They're scared.
[04:27] Ilumgand
    I must speak with this woman.
     Stay out of my way.
[04:32] Shiki
    Listen, boys.
[04:33] Shiki
    Just get out of here.
    I promise I won't kill you.
[04:35] Student 1
    Wha—
[04:36] Student 2
    Y-You can't be serious!
[04:38] Makoto/Id
    He's totally picking a fight with them.
[04:40] Student 3
    Don't get ahead of yourself.
[04:42] Students
    Supreme beauty who watches
    over us from the heavens,
[04:43] Makoto/Id
    Wind magic, huh?
[04:45] Students
    make us incarnations of those
    who serve the noble one.
[04:45] Makoto/Id
    I can't use that element, but...
[04:49] Makoto/Id
    What? Why are they floating?
[04:51] Makoto/Id
    At such low altitude, too.
[04:54] Student 1
    He's surprised by our floating spell.
[04:56] Makoto
    Um, aren't you going to attack?
[04:58] Makoto
    What's the point of making
    me watch you float?
[05:03] Shiki
    You're provoking them as well, Young Master.
[05:05] Makoto
    That wasn't my intention!
[05:08] Shiki
    Beings of the earth, obey my
    command and take new form.
[05:17] Luria
    Huh? What?
[05:19] Makoto
    Aw, man.
[05:20] Makoto
    Shiki, I'm going to get rid of these.
[05:22] Makoto
    They should be fine since they're floating.
[05:26] Shiki
    Impressive. Soon, you'll have
    mastered counterspelling, too.
[05:30] Makoto
    Dispelling an ally's spell
    is hardly impressive.
[05:33] Makoto
    I still can't use it in a fight.
[05:37] Makoto
    Can you read?
[05:39] Makoto
    If you're okay, I'd appreciate it if you fled.
[05:42] Luria
    N-Nobody asked for your help.
[05:45] Makoto
    I'm not trying to make you indebted to me.
[05:47] Makoto
    You're welcome to forget this ever happened.
[05:53] Luria
    Um, I'm a waitress at the
    Gotetsu Restaurant up ahead.
[05:59] Luria
    If you stop by, I can thank you there.
[06:02] Luria
    We serve excellent hot pot dishes.
[06:04] Makoto
    Hot pot, huh?
[06:06] Makoto
    Let's head there later regardless.
[06:09] Shiki
    Anyway, that girl was rather
    rude despite us saving her.
[06:13] Makoto
    Was she?
[06:15] Makoto
    I can see why she'd be suspicious of someone
    rescuing her for nothing in return.
[06:19] Makoto
    We put on quite the show, too.
[06:23] Makoto
    Wait a minute. Those guys...
[06:25] Student
    We're gonna fall!
[06:25] Ilumgand
    Don't run out of mana!
[06:27] Shiki
    Eventually they'll exhaust
    their mana and fall.
[06:30] Shiki
    I hope they'll be happy in their next lives.
[06:34] Makoto
    Help them.
[06:37] Shiki
    Very well.
[06:44] Makoto/Id
    He dropped them.
[06:47] Makoto/Id
    How childish.
[06:50] Ilumgand
    Luria...
[06:54] Ilumgand
    You'll pay for this!
[06:57] Students
    Ilum-san!
[06:57] Students
    Wait for us!
[06:59] Shiki
    Young Master, that kind of
    thing will always happen.
[07:04] Shiki
    I'm not sure getting involved
    is the right choice.
[07:07] Makoto
    I know that, but...
[07:10] Makoto
    The look in her eyes made me curious.
[07:14] Shiki
    Then forgive me for being presumptuous.
[07:19] Makoto
    Now, let's find an inn.
[07:21] Makoto
    The entrance exam is in three days, right?
[07:24] Shiki
    What?
[07:25] Shiki
    You're planning to take the entrance exam?
[07:28] Makoto
    I need to enter the academy to be recognized
[07:32] Makoto
    as a resident of this town and receive
    permission to open a new store.
[07:37] Shiki
    But the test you're taking isn't
    the new student entrance exam.
[07:41] Shiki
    It's the teacher employment examination.
[07:44] Makoto
    What?
[07:45] Makoto
    What's the teacher employment examination?
[07:49] Shiki
    It's the test you must
    take to become a teacher.
[07:52] Shiki
    It clearly says "teacher employment
    examination" on this document from Rembrandt.
[07:58] Makoto
    R-Rembrandt-san?!
[08:02] (Flashback) Rembrandt
    Kuzunoha-dono should be
    arriving in Rotsgard soon.
[08:10] (Flashback) Rembrandt
    What is it, Morris?
[08:11] (Flashback) Morris
    I've been struggling to
    read fine print recently.
[08:16] (Flashback) Morris
    Perhaps I'm getting old.
[08:18] (Flashback) Morris
    I have no trouble at all
    with familiar words, but...
[08:23] (Flashback) Rembrandt
    You should get some reading glasses
    before you make a mistake.
[08:28] (Flashback) Morris
    I'll do that.
[08:29] Makoto/Id
    Too late.
[08:32] Makoto/Id
    And then, on the day of the teacher
    employment examination...
[08:36] Examinee
    It's time.
[08:37] Examinee
    I'm so nervous.
[08:39] Shiki
    Young Master, are you all right?
[08:41] Makoto
    Shiki, could you call me Kuzunoha here?
[08:45] Shiki
    Very well, Kuzunoha-sama.
[08:48] Makoto/Id
    Honestly, I would've run away if
    Rembrandt-san hadn't recommended me.
[08:52] Receptionist
    Kuzunoha Makoto-san, huh?
[08:55] Receptionist
    Allow me to explain the test.
[08:57] Makoto
    I'm sorry, but before that...
[08:59] Receptionist
    What? Writing?
[09:00] Makoto
    I know this is the teacher exam,
[09:03] Makoto
    but are you looking to fill
    any other clerical positions?
[09:08] Receptionist
    That's not a request we can accommodate.
[09:11] Receptionist
    Lately, a lot of people have been
    trying to apply for other positions
[09:14] Receptionist
    despite us clearly stating
    we're hiring teachers.
[09:17] Receptionist
    Though I suppose you can't
    help it, given your appearance.
[09:17] Makoto/Id
    The complaints and insults keep coming...
[09:20] Receptionist
    Looking for a backdoor because you
    can't apply normally won't...
[09:25] Receptionist
    Huh?
[09:26] Makoto/Id
    Crap!
[09:28] Makoto/Id
    That's not a smile!
[09:30] Shiki
    Wither, you worthless wooden fool.
[09:37] Makoto
    Shiki, calm down!
[09:39] Makoto
    Forgive my friend.
[09:42] Makoto
    If there aren't any clerical
    positions, that's fine.
[09:44] Receptionist
    How can you act like nothing's
    wrong after that ridiculousness?
[09:47] Shiki
    "That ridiculousness"?!
[09:49] Shiki
    How much do you think you insulted my master
    and made him listen to your ridiculous whining?!
[09:51] Makoto/Id
    Please stop!
[09:54] Entrance Exam Teacher
    Excuse me.
[09:56] Entrance Exam Teacher
    Allow me to apologize for
    that employee's behavior.
[10:02] Shiki
    You're offering an apology?
[10:05] Entrance Exam Teacher
    Of course.
[10:06] Entrance Exam Teacher
    Hurling complaints or rude language
    at an examinee is unacceptable,
[10:12] Entrance Exam Teacher
    even if he inappropriately asked if
    we were hiring clerical employees.
[10:18] Shiki
    My master simply asked if you had any
    openings available for clerical employees.
[10:24] Shiki
    That should be understandable.
[10:26] Entrance Exam Teacher
    We appreciate that you shared
    your valuable opinion.
[10:30] Entrance Exam Teacher
    Now, regarding Kuzunoha-sama's exam...
[10:35] Entrance Exam Teacher
    General tactics, is it?
[10:38] Entrance Exam Teacher
    How would you like to take your test?
[10:40] Entrance Exam Teacher
    You're allowed to choose your ratio of
    practical versus written assessment.
[10:43] Makoto/Id
    Um...
[10:45] Entrance Exam Teacher
    Oh, you have a recommendation from
    the Rembrandt Trading Company.
[10:49] Entrance Exam Teacher
    You must be quite accomplished.
[10:52] Makoto/Id
    She's not trying to provoke me?
[10:54] Entrance Exam Teacher
    So, what will it be?
[10:56] Entrance Exam Teacher
    Since you're applying to
    teach general tactics,
[10:59] Entrance Exam Teacher
    would you like to focus
    on practical assessment?
[11:01] Makoto/Id
    Uh, um...
[11:03] Shiki
    This one.
[11:04] Entrance Exam Teacher
    Huh?
[11:05] Makoto/Id
    Shiki?!
[11:06] Entrance Exam Teacher
    Are you sure?
[11:09] Shiki
    Of course. As only a few have passed
    this incredibly difficult test,
[11:15] Shiki
    we shall take a practical-only assessment!
[11:17] Makoto/Id
    Incredibly difficult?
[11:19] Makoto/Id
    But I'm the one who has to take the test...
[11:25] Proctor
    The exam will take place over three days.
[11:28] Proctor
    The examinees will now make
    their way to the testing area.
[11:32] Proctor
    As for the equipment you were given,
[11:34] Proctor
    use the feather-shaped item
    when you wish to return,
[11:37] Proctor
    and use the bell-shaped item
    if you wish to drop out.
[11:41] Makoto
    Were two separate items really necessary?
[11:43] Proctor
    Only fighting between
    examinees is forbidden.
[11:47] Proctor
    However, since you'll be
    separated by physical distance,
[11:50] Proctor
    I doubt you'll come across one another.
[11:54] Proctor
    We can provide you with weapons,
[11:57] Proctor
    but you must procure food and
    other supplies on your own.
[12:00] Proctor
    Monsters live in the testing
    area, so do be careful.
[12:03] Makoto/Id
    So it's like a survival game.
[12:06] Proctor
    Everyone who meets the conditions
    will pass the test, which are...
[12:13] Proctor
    These red, blue, and yellow
    orbs travel at high speeds.
[12:16] Proctor
    Return to the academy within three days
    with three of the three types of orbs.
[12:22] Proctor
    That's all.
[12:24] Makoto/Id
    Well, that's simple.
[12:26] Proctor
    Instructions for capturing the orbs are
    included with the items given to you.
[12:31] Proctor
    Good luck, everyone.
[12:38] Makoto
    So this is the testing area.
[12:40] Makoto/Id
    First, Investigative Kai.
[12:44] Makoto/Id
    Good.
[12:45] Makoto/Id
    I don't have to worry about water or food.
[12:48] Makoto/Id
    Compared to the wasteland I was first
    dropped into, this place is paradise.
[12:54] Makoto/Id
    Looks like the other examinees
    are pretty far away.
[13:04] Makoto/Id
    Okay, found an orb.
[13:07] Makoto
    Let's see...
[13:08] Makoto
    "Each orb can be damaged using
    the specified attacks."
[13:14] Makoto
    "After taking enough damage, orbs will
    stop moving and can be captured."
[13:18] Makoto
    "If attacked using methods other than the
    ones specified, the orbs will burst."
[13:23] Makoto
    So only physical attacks are
    effective against the red orb.
[13:28] Makoto/Id
    I'll start with something gentle.
[13:34] Makoto
    Huh?
[13:36] Makoto
    What? I didn't get the color wrong, did I?
[13:40] Makoto
    L-Let me pull myself together.
[13:43] Makoto
    Only magic attacks are effective
    against yellow, so...
[13:47] Makoto/Id
    Brid.
[13:52] Makoto
    Huh?
[13:55] Makoto
    Only ranged attacks are effective
    against the blue orb.
[13:58] Makoto
    Even with a borrowed bow,
    this should be easy.
[14:03] Makoto
    Why?
[14:07] Makoto/Id
    Are my attacks doing too much damage?
[14:11] Makoto/Id
    Come to think of it, I'm constantly under
    the effect of a strengthening spell.
[14:14] Makoto/Id
    I should remove that.
[14:18] Makoto
    A red orb.
[14:23] Makoto
    What?!
[14:24] Makoto
    Why?!
[14:30] Makoto/Id
    I failed to capture a single one,
    and I'm sleeping under the stars.
[14:34] Makoto
    I'll erect a barrier that's
    pretty painful when touched.
[14:44] Makoto
    Huh?
[14:46] Makoto
    Monsters...
[14:47] Makoto
    Heave-ho!
[14:55] Makoto/Id
    I wonder what the other examinees are up to.
[15:00] Makoto/Id
    Huh? The elf is missing.
[15:02] Makoto/Id
    Did he finish in just one day?
[15:05] Makoto/Id
    It's not a race, but I feel
    like I need to hurry.
[15:15] Makoto
    I'll start with the blue orb
    susceptible to ranged attacks.
[15:18] Makoto
    I'll try grazing it with just the fletching.
[15:21] Makoto
    A feather touch, if you will.
[15:27] Makoto/Id
    I distracted myself. I'll refocus, and...
[15:34] Makoto/Id
    All right. Just what I wanted.
[15:37] Makoto
    What?
[15:38] Makoto
    No one said anything
    about them disappearing!
[15:44] Makoto
    It teleported?
[15:45] Makoto
    Oh, come on!
[15:48] Makoto/Id
    Okay, I'll burn this entire
    testing area down.
[15:53] Makoto/Id
    No, wait. Calm down.
[15:56] Makoto/Id
    I'll project the object I perceived
    with my Kai inside myself, and...
[16:00] Makoto/Id
    I see it.
[16:10] Makoto
    Yes! I did it!
[16:15] Makoto/Id
    Someone else disappeared.
[16:17] Makoto/Id
    It was the hyuman this time.
[16:19] Makoto/Id
    Did they pass?
[16:21] Makoto/Id
    No, it's possible they dropped out.
[16:24] Makoto/Id
    Either way, I need to keep trying.
[16:31] Makoto/Id
    Next, I'll go for the yellow orb
    susceptible to magic attacks.
[16:35] Makoto/Id
    I'll start by weakening myself using Kai.
[16:38] Makoto/Id
    Then I'll adjust the power so it's
    neither too strong nor too weak,
[16:42] Makoto/Id
    focus all my attention on it, and...
[16:45] Makoto/Id
    Weak Brid.
[16:50] Makoto
    Yes!
[16:52] Makoto
    I've still got one day left.
    I think I'm gonna make it!
[17:00] Makoto
    My first meal since yesterday.
[17:04] Makoto/Id
    Someone new appeared this time.
[17:07] Makoto/Id
    Can examinees join partway through the test?
[17:11] Makoto/Id
    As long as they don't bother me,
    I guess it doesn't matter.
[17:18] Makoto
    What a refreshing morning.
[17:22] Makoto/Id
    But there's an obviously suspicious
    guy dressed in black.
[17:28] Makoto/Id
    They were pretending to be asleep?
[17:29] Makoto/Id
    They vanished. Did they use
    a spell to hide themselves?
[17:33] Makoto/Id
    I know exactly where they are
    thanks to my Kai, though.
[17:36] Makoto/Id
    I should put some distance between us...
[17:39] Makoto/Id
    Crap!
[17:51] Makoto
    Don't think that's enough to harm me.
[17:55] Makoto
    Huh?
[17:56] Makoto/Id
    My hand is cut. Not only that,
    but this looks like poison.
[18:00] Makoto/Id
    How embarrassing. I'll have
    to wash it thoroughly later.
[18:03] Black
    You bastard...
[18:05] Makoto
    Are you targeting the examinees?
[18:07] Black
    Yeah. The others have already left.
[18:11] Black
    I wasn't too enthused about being
    hired just to threaten you,
[18:14] Black
    but you'll pay for breaking my blade.
[18:17] Makoto
    Are you trying to kill me?
[18:19] Black
    You're already finished.
[18:21] Black
    This blade is coated with a fast-acting
    poison guaranteed to kill.
[18:25] Makoto
    Fast-acting?
[18:26] Black
    Poi...son...
[18:29] Black
    You neutralized that poison? Impossible!
[18:32] Makoto
    If you tell me who you are and who
    hired you, I'll tell you how I did it.
[18:37] Black
    Unfortunately, I don't have
    any contact with the client
[18:42] Black
    when I get jobs through the assassins' guild.
[18:45] Makoto
    I see.
[18:46] Makoto
    I'm starting to get the sense I shouldn't
    stick my nose where it doesn't belong.
[18:50] Black
    A wise choice.
[18:52] Black
    I can't move!
[18:53] Makoto
    I've temporarily paralyzed
    you from the neck down.
[18:56] Makoto
    You're interfering with my exam. Begone.
[18:58] Black
    I can't leave if I can't move!
[19:01] Makoto/Id
    He's not wrong.
[19:04] Makoto
    I'll tell you how I did it for free.
[19:06] Makoto
    Apparently, I'm immune to poisons.
[19:09] Makoto
    It's an ability I gained recently.
[19:10] Black
    D-Don't give me that sh—
[19:13] Black
    What are you doing?!
[19:15] Black
    Why are you running this wa—
[19:21] Makoto
    Back to the exam.
[19:23] Makoto
    Let's finish this quickly so I can leave.
[19:32] Makoto/Id
    I can't perform pure physical attacks
    because my body constantly releases mana.
[19:37] Makoto/Id
    The bow I borrowed is
    imbued with magic, too.
[19:42] Makoto
    I know!
[19:43] Makoto
    I borrowed this knife to butcher fish.
[19:45] Makoto
    This should work.
[19:47] Makoto/Id
    It's a bit smelly, but I'll hit it with
    the back so I don't cut it in half.
[19:54] Makoto/Id
    It didn't explode.
[19:56] Makoto/Id
    It teleported,
[19:59] Makoto/Id
    but I'll finish it off with this.
[20:10] Makoto
    That took forever!
[20:13] Makoto
    Farewell, nameless wilderness!
[20:14] Makoto
    I'll never forget the suffering
    I endured these past three days!
[20:24] Makoto/Id
    Whoa, they're waiting for me.
[20:27] Proctor
    Kuzunoha-san, are you
    dropping out like they did?
[20:31] Makoto/Id
    Did the man in black threaten them?
[20:34] Makoto
    I gathered the orbs, of course.
[20:36] Proctor
    What?
[20:37] Proctor
    A-Allow me to confirm.
[20:39] Proctor
    I don't believe it.
[20:41] Makoto
    I brought back three of each orb.
[20:44] Proctor
    When I said three, I meant
    three of the same color.
[20:49] Proctor
    Normally people return with three of the
    color susceptible to their best attack,
[20:54] Proctor
    but you brought back all three colors?
[20:56] Makoto/Id
    What?
[20:58] Proctor
    No one's ever passed the
    exam like this before.

[21:04] Komoe
    And so...
[21:06] Makoto
    I had to go through a lot, but they've
    hired me as a temporary instructor.
[21:11] Shiki
    Good work, Young Master.
[21:14] Makoto
    We have some time until the
    next step in the process.
[21:16] Makoto
    Why don't we check out that
    hot pot restaurant sometime?
[21:19] Shiki
    You mean Gotetsu? I look forward to it.
[21:22] Makoto
    I wonder if they serve shamonabe.
[21:25] Makoto/Id
    And so, unexpectedly, I became a teacher.
[21:28] Makoto/Id
    My life at the academy
    city began thusly, but...
[21:35] Proctor
    That's never happened before.
[21:37] Proctor
    No one was supposed to pass this time.
[21:42] Eva
    What do you mean by that?
[21:44] Proctor
    Someone made a request.
[21:47] Proctor
    They said we have enough
    practical skill teachers
[21:50] Proctor
    and wanted to increase the
    difficulty of the exam.
[21:53] Proctor
    And he gathered all three colors
    anyway. I can't believe it!
[21:58] Eva
    I see.
[22:00] Eva
    How very interesting.
