[00:24] Alicia
    Wow!
[00:26] Alicia
    So many people and carriages!
[00:34] Alicia
    Let's see... The Royal Academy is...
[00:40] Alicia
    Excuse me. Are you all right?
[00:43] Old Lady
    I suddenly started feeling ill...
[00:46] Alicia
    Huh?!
[00:56] Old Lady
    Thank you. I feel better now.
[01:00] Alicia
    I'm glad. You'll be all right now.
[01:03] Daughter
    Thank you so much. How can I ever repay you?
[01:07] Alicia
    You don't need to thank me.
[01:09] Alicia
    It took a long time since I'm only level 1.
[01:12] Daughter
    Oh, no. Who knows what would have
    happened to my mother if not for you?
[01:17] Daughter
    Wait, by any chance...
[01:20] Daughter
    Were you on your way to the Royal Academy?
[01:22] Alicia
    Yes, I'm moving into the dorm today.
[01:25] Daughter
    Oh, then you'd better hurry!
[01:28] Alicia
    Huh?
[01:28] Daughter
    I believe the academy's
    gates close at 6 o'clock.
[01:32] Alicia
    What?!
[01:45] Alicia
    Wait! Wait!
[01:52] Alicia
    You're kidding...
[01:54] Oswald
    It's time to lock the gate.
[01:56] Oswald
    It's the rule that the Royal
    Academy's main gate closes at 6 o'clock.
[02:00] Alicia
    But the bell hasn't even finished ringing...
[02:05] Alicia
    And now it has.
[02:07] Oswald
    Your name and grade?
[02:09] Alicia
    Alicia Ehnleit. I'm a new first-year.
[02:13] Alicia
    Wait, the color of your necktie...
    Aren't you a first-year, too?
[02:16] Oswald
    Yes. I've been helping with the weekly duties
[02:19] Oswald
    to get myself accustomed to the school.
[02:22] Oswald
    In any case, the rules are absolute.
[02:25] Oswald
    You'll have to find lodging
    in town for tonight.
[02:27] Alicia
    But the entrance ceremony is tomorrow.
[02:30] Alicia
    I need to get into the dorm today.
[02:34] Alicia
    Besides, um... I don't have that much money.
[02:39] Oswald
    Oh, so you're the one commoner
    who was admitted here this year.
[02:45] Oswald
    Not that I don't sympathize...
[02:48] Oswald
    But rules are rules. Just give up.
[02:52] Alicia
    What?! But you're a first-year, too!
[02:54] Alicia
    Meanie!
[02:56] Oswald
    Now, what I'm about to say
    is just me talking to myself.
[03:00] Alicia
    Huh?
[03:01] Oswald
    There's a part of the wall on the
    eastern side that's crumbling.
[03:04] Oswald
    Students who break curfew often
    enter and leave through there.
[03:08] Oswald
    You're unlikely to be seen at this hour.
[03:13] Alicia
    What's your name?
[03:15] Oswald
    Oh, I hadn't introduced
    myself yet. How rude of me.
[03:18] Oswald
    I'm Oswald Grimsarde.
[03:20] Alicia
    Grimsarde? I've heard that
    name somewhere before...
[03:24] Oswald
    Probably my father. He's a
    cabinet minister, after all.
[03:27] Alicia
    You're the son of a minister?!
[03:29] Oswald
    My father is my father, and I am
    me. Please call me by my name.
[03:34] Alicia
    Sure. I'll call you Oz, then.
[03:37] Oswald
    O-Oz?
[03:42] Alicia
    Thanks, Oz! You're a nice guy!
[03:47] Alicia
    I hope we'll be friends!
[04:02] William
    Hand.
[04:03] Alicia
    Huh?
[04:04] William
    You broke curfew too, right?
[04:06] William
    I'll help you in. Give me your hand.
[04:08] William
    C'mon.
[04:10] Alicia
    Thanks.
[04:12] William
    Here we go. Ready, and... up!
[04:15] Alicia
    You're really strong!
[04:20] William
    Just follow me.
[04:22] William
    I'm William Ares. You?
[04:25] Alicia
    Alicia Ehnleit. Are you
    a new first-year, too?
[04:28] William
    Yeah. The older guys in the dorm
    sent me to buy drinks for a party.
[04:33] William
    See?
[04:35] Alicia
    Oh...
[04:37] William
    It's sort of a ritual for
    new kids entering the dorm.
[04:42] William
    Whoops...
[04:43] William
    Watch your step there.
[04:49] Alicia
    Thanks. You really are strong, huh?
[04:54] William
    My dad's a general.
[04:55] William
    He's been training me since I was a kid.
[04:59] Alicia
    A minister and a general...
[05:01] Alicia
    All the people here are from
    such impressive families.
[05:04] William
    Don't space out. If you're
    not paying attention—
[05:09] Alicia
    I-I... I can't!
[05:14] Boys
    What the?!
[05:16] Boys
    They just fell through the roof!
[05:17] Boys
    You okay?!
[05:19] Alicia
    That... didn't hurt? What?
[05:22] Edwin
    I'm the one who's hurting.
[05:24] Edwin
    Would you mind getting off of me?
[05:26] Alicia
    I'm so sorry! Are you all right?
[05:31] Edwin
    Who are you?
[05:32] Alicia
    My name is Alicia.
[05:34] William
    Hey, Ed. That had to hurt.
[05:38] Alicia
    Ed? Are you two friends?
[05:40] Edwin
    Yeah. I've known Will since we were kids.
[05:46] Edwin
    I'm Edwin Valschein,
[05:48] Edwin
    the second prince of the
    Kingdom of Valschein.

[07:25] Principal
    We haven't even had the
    entrance ceremony yet,
[07:27] Principal
    and you're already causing a commotion.
    You don't waste time, do you?
[07:31] Principal
    As the principal, I feel that
    makes you worth teaching.
[07:35] William
    This is all your fault.
[07:37] Alicia
    What? Why me?
[07:38] William
    I got distracted 'cause you talked to me.
[07:40] Alicia
    Excuse me?!
[07:41] Principal
    Quiet.
[07:44] Principal
    William Ares...
[07:46] Principal
    I'll be confiscating this.
[07:52] Principal
    And Alicia Ehnleit...
[07:54] Alicia
    Y-Yes?
[07:56] Principal
    You have a rare and precious
    talent for light magic.
[08:00] Principal
    That is why you were the one and only
    commoner admitted here on a scholarship.
[08:05] Principal
    Always be aware of that, and mind
    your behavior going forward.
[08:10] Alicia
    I'm sorry.
[08:11] Principal
    You will both be given extra duties
    for one week as punishment.
[08:14] Principal
    You are to work together, and no fighting.
[08:17] Principal
    You may go.
[08:18] Alicia/William
    Pardon us.
[08:27] Principal
    I see. So that's Alicia Ehnleit.
[08:32] Principal
    She's our kingdom's last hope
    of salvation from the Demon Lord...
[08:45] Alicia
    I screwed up on my first day.
[08:47] Alicia
    I showed up late, broke a window, and
    even got punished with extra duties.
[08:52] TeacherA
    Intruder!
[08:53] TeacherB
    There's an intruder! Capture him!
[08:55] TeacherA
    Where'd he go?
[08:57] TeacherB
    He may have climbed the wall to get outside.
[09:00] TeacherA
    Go and look. I'll check the dorm.
[09:02] TeacherB
    Right!
[09:04] TeacherA
    There's been an intruder on school grounds!
[09:06] TeacherA
    All of you, stay inside!
[09:08] GirlA
    Okay!
[09:09] GirlB
    Got it!
[09:12] Alicia
    Scary...
[09:14] Alicia
    I guess bad guys target this
    school since it's full of nobles?
[09:18] Alicia
    But I'm safe on that front,
    considering I'm a commoner.
[09:32] Alicia
    Take that!
[09:34] Alicia
    Someone—
[09:36] Edwin
    Be quiet. I'm not a bad guy.
[09:39] Edwin
    It's you!
[09:41] Edwin
    Your name was... Alicia?
[09:44] Edwin
    It's me. Remember, the
    guy who broke your fall?
[09:48] Alicia
    Edwin... Your Highness?!
[09:51] Edwin
    Yeah, there's some stuff going on...
[09:53] Alicia
    "Stuff"?
[09:55] Edwin
    There's something I want to look into...
[09:58] Edwin
    But when I tried to sneak into the
    school building, they spotted me.
[10:01] Edwin
    I can't tell you the details, but...
[10:03] TeacherA
    Find him?
[10:04] TeacherB
    I didn't see him anywhere.
[10:06] TeacherA
    I see. Stay on guard, though.
[10:09] TeacherB
    Got it.
[10:12] Edwin
    I can't go out there yet.
[10:14] Edwin
    Please, let me hide here for a while.
[10:17] Alicia
    What?!
[10:24] Edwin
    Sorry about this.
[10:26] Edwin
    I know a gentleman shouldn't just
    dive into a lady's room, but...
[10:31] Alicia
    Oh, it's fine. This almost
    feels like a dream.
[10:35] Alicia
    I've never talked to a member
    of the royal family before.
[10:39] Edwin
    It's the same for me. I'm always
    surrounded by royalty and nobles.
[10:43] Edwin
    Are all commoner women as violent as you?
[10:48] Alicia
    Don't be mean! I did that because
    I thought you were a robber!
[10:52] Edwin
    I'm just kidding. Please don't hit me again.
[11:00] Edwin
    I suppose I owe you one now.
[11:02] Edwin
    About what happened tonight...
[11:04] Alicia
    Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
[11:07] Edwin
    I appreciate it.
[11:10] Edwin
    I think the coast is clear now.
[11:12] Edwin
    I don't want to trouble
    you by staying too long.
[11:18] Edwin
    See you at the entrance ceremony
    tomorrow. Goodnight, Alicia.
[11:21] Alicia
    Be careful, Prince Edwin.
[11:31] Sword TeacherA
    The new students will now enter.
[11:53] Alicia
    Oh, I'm sorry...
[12:04] Yumiella
    Is something the matter, Alicia Ehnleit?
[12:08] Alicia
    H-How do you know my name?
[12:11] Yumiella
    I... just do.
[12:13] Yumiella
    More importantly, are you feeling ill?
[12:16] Alicia
    I-I'm all right.
[12:20] Sword TeacherA
    The Royal Academy Entrance
    Ceremony will now commence.
[12:25] Principal
    Having the privilege to welcome you
    first-years to our school today
[12:29] Principal
    gives all of us at the academy
    the greatest pleasure.
[12:32] Principal
    As you are already aware...
[12:34] (Flashback) Ed
    That's enough, Yumiella!
[12:37] (Flashback) William
    That devil's luck of yours
    is finally about to run out!
[13:01] (Flashback) Oswald
    Now, Alicia!
[13:03] (Flashback) Alicia
    Right!
[13:04] (Flashback) Alicia
    Sacred light magic,
[13:06] (Flashback) Alicia
    banish the darkness and grant me strength!
[13:27] (Flashback) Edwin
    Alicia...
SIGN    Edwin
SIGN    Well done, Alicia.
SIGN    Alicia
SIGN    Thank you, Prince Edwin.
[13:45] (Flashback) Past Life Yumiella
    It's morning...
[13:48] Yumiella
    This game is called Light Magic and the Hero*,
SIGN    Light Magic and the Hero
SIGN    Light Magic and the Hero
[13:52] Yumiella
    or Light and Hero for short.
SIGN    Light and Hero
[13:55] Yumiella
    It takes place in a world*
    of swords and magic.
SIGN    Oswald
SIGN    Not that I don't sympathize...
    But rules are rules. Just give up.
[13:57] Yumiella
    The heroine enrolls in the Royal Academy,
[14:00] Yumiella
    where she deepens her relationships
    with the conquerable characters
SIGN    William
SIGN    You broke curfew too, right?
    I'll help you in. Give me your hand. C'mon.
[14:03] Yumiella
    as she levels up and, eventually,
    defeats the Demon Lord.
SIGN    Edwin
SIGN    I suppose I owe you one now.
    About what happened tonight...
[14:06] Yumiella
    It's a fairly cliché story.
[14:08] Yumiella
    But after the ending in which
    the Demon Lord is defeated,
SIGN    The Demon Lord is defeated, but...
SIGN    A hidden boss has appeared.
[14:11] Yumiella
    the hidden boss, the game's
    strongest foe, appears.
[14:15] Yumiella
    She is Yumiella Dolkness,
SIGN    Yumiella...?!
[14:18] Yumiella
    the villainess who uses dark magic
SIGN    Don't tell me you're...
[14:19] Yumiella
    and bullies the heroine,
    Alicia, throughout the game.
SIGN    I thought you seemed
     suspicious...!
SIGN    (We have to fight her?!)
[14:25] Yumiella
    And that's me.
[14:28] Yumiella
    At age fifteen,
[14:30] Yumiella
    I'm on my way to enter the
    Royal Academy in the capital.
SIGN    The Hidden Boss Enters the Academy
[14:40] Yumiella
    I was five years old when I regained
    my memories from my previous life.
[14:46] Yumiella
    While I was attending college,
    I got hit by a truck
[14:50] Yumiella
    and reincarnated in this world.
[14:55] Yumiella
    Some research confirmed
    that this was, in fact,
[14:58] Yumiella
    the world of Light and
    Hero*, the game I played.
[15:03] Yumiella
    Pondering why it happened won't do any good.
[15:06] Yumiella
    All I know is that that's what happened.
[15:10] Yumiella
    This kingdom was founded by the hero*
    and saint who defeated the Demon Lord.
[15:15] Yumiella
    Because that Demon Lord was black-haired,
[15:17] Yumiella
    black hair is seen as unlucky,
    and even as a symbol of evil.
[15:25] Yumiella
    That must be one of the things that
    makes the villainess what she is.
[15:29] Yumiella
    Even my servants keep me at arm's length.
[15:33] Yumiella
    Also, I have no memory of ever meeting
    my parents, who live in the capital.
[15:39] Yumiella
    The Demon Lord can be
    defeated at level 70 or so,
[15:42] Yumiella
    but once Yumiella becomes the hidden boss,
[15:44] Yumiella
    one's level has to be
    maxed out to defeat her.
[15:47] Yumiella
    She is truly the embodiment of unfairness.
[15:50] Yumiella
    But she still gets defeated in the end.
[15:52] Yumiella
    So does my existence really have any meaning?
[15:58] Yumiella
    Still, I thought...
[16:01] Yumiella
    I have the potential to
    surpass even the final boss,
[16:03] Yumiella
    I'm stronger than anyone
    in the heroine's party,
[16:06] Yumiella
    and I can use dark magic, which
    only enemy characters can use.
[16:11] Yumiella
    Isn't that... actually awesome?!
[16:15] Yumiella
    Of course! There's no need to recreate the
    story of
Light and Hero to the letter!
SIGN    William
SIGN    Stop picking on Alicia. Don't make me angry.
SIGN    Oswald
SIGN    If that's how it must be, I have an idea.
[16:19] Yumiella
    I had no interest in the dating
    sim aspect of the game.
SIGN    Edwin
SIGN    Stop messing with Alicia!
[16:23] Yumiella
    I had no emotional attachment to the
    three conquerable characters, either.
[16:29] Yumiella
    So instead of living out the
    story of
Light and Hero*,
[16:32] Yumiella
    I could just lay low and*
    enjoy a peaceful school life.
[16:36] Yumiella
    I'd have nothing to do with
    Alicia or the male leads.
[16:40] Yumiella
    That way, I could avoid all risk
    of becoming the hidden boss,
SIGN    Edwin
SIGN    Defeat the Demon Lord! Let's go, everyone!
[16:45] Yumiella
    and in the spring of our third year,
[16:47] Yumiella
    Alicia and the boys would defeat
    the resurrected Demon Lord,
[16:50] Yumiella
    and we'd all live happily ever after.
[16:57] Yumiella Age 5
    But I should still raise
    my level as much as I can.
[17:01] Yumiella Age 5
    I need to be strong enough to beat the
    Demon Lord myself if it comes to that.
[17:09] (Flashback) Yumiella Age 5
    Yah.
[17:13] (Flashback) Yumiella Age 5
    It comes so naturally.
[17:17] Yumiella Age 5
    When you kill a monster,
    you get a magic stone.
[17:21] Yumiella Age 5
    I should be able to sell these for money.
[17:28] (Flashback) Yumiella Age 5
    I think my movements are a little faster now.
[17:31] (Flashback) Yumiella Age 5
    Is this what leveling up feels like?
[17:36] Yumiella Age 5
    The gamer blood in me is boiling!
[17:40] Yumiella
    I was always the type to get
    absorbed in what I was doing,
[17:43] Yumiella
    so I'd sneak out of the
    mansion essentially every day
[17:46] Yumiella
    and get engrossed in leveling up.
[17:49] Yumiella
    On top of that, I made
    money off of magic stones
[17:52] Yumiella
    and bought all kinds of items.
[17:54] Yumiella
    The first thing I bought
    was the Amulet of Growth.
[17:57] Yumiella
    The Amulet of Protection would
    be better for keeping me safe,
[18:00] Yumiella
    but wearing this would allow
    me to level up much faster.
[18:06] Yumiella
    Then, I entered the dungeon.
[18:10] Yumiella Age 5
    I'll be fine by myself.
[18:12] Yumiella Age 5
    I can regenerate an arm
    with my magic if I need to.
[18:18] Yumiella Age 5
    I conquered it.
[18:25] Yumiella
    I also acquired the Monster-Calling Flute.
[18:31] Yumiella
    And day...
[18:34] Yumiella
    after day...
[18:37] Yumiella
    after day...
[18:45] Yumiella
    Until today, at age fifteen,
[18:47] Yumiella
    I've focused only on leveling up efficiently.
[18:50] Yumiella
    I've been through the same dungeon
    from start to end countless times.
[18:59] Yumiella
    I hope I'll be able to continue
    leveling up after I start school.
[19:14] Yumiella
    Even the building looks just
    like it did in the game.
[19:22] Yumiella
    I'm exhausted.
[19:27] Father
    Attend the Royal Academy.
[19:30] Father
    While there, befriend as many sons
    of high-ranking noblemen as you can.
[19:35] Father
    They don't need to be eldest sons, as I'll
    have one marry you and become my heir.
[19:41] Yumiella
    And this is my first
    interaction with my parents?
[19:45] Yumiella
    I should...
[19:47] Oswald
    It's time to lock the gate.
[19:48] Oswald
    It's the rule that the Royal
    Academy's main gate closes at 6 o'clock.
[19:53] Alicia
    But the bell hasn't even finished ringing...
[19:58] Yumiella
    It's really playing out just
    like it did in
Light and Hero*.
[20:02] Alicia
    Wait, the color of your necktie...
    Aren't you a first-year, too?
[20:06] Yumiella
    Avoid getting involved with those four.
[20:09] Yumiella
    That's the key to having a peaceful life.
[20:15] Sword TeacherA
    The new students will now enter.
[20:18] Sword TeacherA
    The Royal Academy Entrance
    Ceremony will now commence.
[20:23] Principal
    Having the privilege to welcome you
    first-years to our school today
[20:27] Principal
    gives all of us at the academy
    the greatest pleasure.
[20:31] Principal
    As you are already aware...
[20:31] Yumiella
    I feel eyes on me.
[20:34] Yumiella
    Oh, right. It must be my hair.
[20:38] Sword TeacherA
    We will now assess your levels.
[20:42] Yumiella
    What? Assess our levels?
[20:48] Magic Teacher
    Alicia Ehnleit: level 1.
[20:51] Principal
    Work your hardest going forward.
[20:53] Alicia
    I will.
[20:55] Yumiella
    What is my level, anyway?
[20:57] Yumiella
    Come to think of it, I've never checked...
[21:00] Magic Teacher
    William Ares: level 10.
[21:02] Students
    Whoa!
[21:03] Students
    Incredible!
[21:05] William
    Yeah, I guess!
[21:06] Yumiella
    They're that excited over level 10?
[21:09] Yumiella
    Then if I don't want to stand out,
    I hope I'm... around level 5?*
[21:15] Yumiella
    Level 5...
[21:17] Yumiella
    wouldn't be enough to beat a boss character.
[21:21] Principal
    Miss Yumiella Dolkness.
[21:23] Yumiella
    Yes, sir.
[21:26] Principal
    Are you nervous?
[21:28] Principal
    Don't worry. There's nothing embarrassing
    about being level 1 when you start school.
[21:33] Yumiella
    No, that's not why I'm nervous.
