[00:02] Students
    Level 99?
[00:03] Students
    99? Seriously?
[00:05] Students
    That can't be right...
[00:05] Students
    Level 99...
[00:07] Students
    99? I've never heard of anyone that high.
[00:16] Yumiella
    Shoot... I had no idea
    my level was that high.
[00:20] Principal
    It must be an error.
    Bring us the backup magic tool.
[00:24] Magic Teacher
    Y-Yes, sir.
[00:29] Principal
    Miss Yumiella Dolkness, try it one more time.
[00:38] Magic Teacher
    It's still level 99.
[00:41] Students
    For real?
[00:41] Students
    Level 99...
[00:42] Students
    What's going on?
[00:44] Magic Teacher
    Miss Yumiella, did you have
    any idea your level was this high?
[00:49] Yumiella
    I can't hide it any longer.
    I guess I'll have to run with it.
[00:53] Yumiella
    Yes, I believe the reading is correct.
[00:57] Sword Teacher
    There's no problem with
    the magic tool itself.
[00:59] Sword Teacher
    You tampered with it somehow, didn't you?
[01:02] Yumiella
    No, I believe level 99 is correct.
[01:06] Sword Teacher
    You might not know this, but levels
    only go up when you kill monsters!
[01:11] Sword Teacher
    We know you're lying. Just tell us the truth.
[01:14] Yumiella
    I have been killing them, though...
[01:20] Students
    She can kill monsters?
[01:22] Students
    No way.
[01:24] Principal
    Quiet!
[01:25] Principal
    Everyone, just calm down.
[01:28] Principal
    We'll see whether she's telling the
    truth or not once classes begin.
[01:33] Principal
    Miss Yumiella, please give your
    greeting and return to your seat.
[01:40] Yumiella
    Oh? Looks like the principal doubts me, too.
[01:45] Yumiella
    I am Yumiella Dolkness.
    Pleased to meet all of you.
[01:49] Girl1
    She must have cheated somehow, right?
[01:51] GIrl2
    She's a fraud.
[01:52] Yumiella
    Worst case, I'll have
    to flee the country alone.
[01:55] Yumiella
    Even out in the sticks, I'm sure I
    can get by with just my strength.
[01:59] Magic Teacher
    We will continue to assess your levels.
[02:03] Magic Teacher
    Patrick Ashbatten.
[02:05] Patrick
    Yes, ma'am.
[02:08] Yumiella
    I expected Alicia to stand out due
    to being the only commoner here,
[02:12] Yumiella
    but in the end, she never drew any
    particular attention to herself.
[02:15] Yumiella
    Sorry for stealing the show, protagonist.
SIGN    Villainess Level 99
SIGN    I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
[03:58] Yumiella
    So the entrance ceremony is
    followed by a buffet party?
[04:03] Yumiella
    Not that there's anyone I know here,
[04:06] Yumiella
    nor anyone who'd want to hang out with me.
[04:09] Yumiella
    And I don't want to stand out,
    so I'll just leave early.
[04:19] William
    Hey, you with the black hair!
[04:22] William
    You're name's Yumiella Dolkness, right?
[04:24] William
    What trick did you use back there?
[04:27] Yumiella
    Now I've got this pain
    in the neck on my case.
[04:29] Yumiella
    Um... Are you talking about
    the level assessment?
[04:32] William
    Obviously!
[04:34] William
    I get wanting to stand out,
    but have you no pride as a noble?
[04:38] Edwin
    Relax, Will.
[04:41] Edwin
    I understand how you feel, but this
    isn't the place to make a fuss.
[04:46] Yumiella
    A pleasure to meet you, Prince Edwin.
[04:48] Yumiella
    I am Yumiella Dolkness.
[04:51] Edwin
    The daughter of Count Dolkness...
[04:53] Edwin
    Central wannabe.
[04:57] Edwin
    Miss Yumiella,
[04:58] Edwin
    I know that Will has worked
    harder than anyone else
[05:01] Edwin
    at sword training since he was a child.
[05:04] Edwin
    That's how he reached level 10
    before he entered this school.
[05:08] Edwin
    And what you did trampled all
    over his hard-earned achievement.
[05:13] Yumiella
    Ah...
[05:15] Yumiella
    Why does everyone just assume that I cheated?
[05:20] Yumiella
    Not that I can blame them for
    being suspicious, I guess.
[05:24] Yumiella
    It's true that I'm level 99.
[05:27] Yumiella
    As the principal said,
[05:29] Yumiella
    I'm confident you'll see
    that once classes begin.
[05:33] Edwin
    Hmph. Still keeping up the
    innocent act, are you?
[05:36] William
    Are you saying you're stronger than me?
[05:39] William
    You'd better be glad I don't
    have my gloves right now!
[05:42] Oswald
    Honestly, level 99?
    That's not realistic at all.
[05:49] Oswald
    Couldn't you come up with
    a more believable lie?
[05:52] Yumiella
    All three of the conquerable
    characters are here.
[05:55] Yumiella
    Edwin Valschein.
[05:57] Yumiella
    This kingdom's second prince,
    and the game's main hero.
[06:01] Yumiella
    A magic swordsman,
    user of both blades and spells.
[06:04] Yumiella
    William Ares.
[06:06] Yumiella
    A musclehead with a strong sense
    of justice and a short temper.
[06:11] Yumiella
    Oswald Grimsarde.
[06:13] Yumiella
    A magic prodigy, and the
    "cool-headed glasses guy" type.
[06:18] Yumiella
    The three of them are friends, as well.
[06:20] Yumiella
    I never had any interest in them.
[06:25] Yumiella
    For the sake of avoiding any
    connection to the game's story,
[06:28] Yumiella
    I'd rather avoid contact with them.
[06:31] William
    Well? Got anything to say for yourself?
[06:34] Yumiella
    It seems as if you wouldn't
    believe anything I said, anyway.
[06:37] William
    You're still talking like that?!
[06:39] Oswald
    If you're going to lie, be better at it.
[06:42] Edwin
    If you insist it's true,
[06:43] Edwin
    why don't you show us your level
    99 magic right here and now?
[06:48] Yumiella
    He clearly didn't think this through.
[06:50] Yumiella
    I don't mind showing them, but I don't
    want to create an even bigger commotion.
[06:54] Yumiella
    Uh... Speaking of magic, I understand
    there's a commoner here who uses light magic.
[07:01] Yumiella
    Right there, in fact.
[07:03] Yumiella
    She seems to be struggling, being in a
    new, unfamiliar place with no friends.
[07:08] Yumiella
    Why don't you go and talk to her?
[07:11] Oswald
    True. There's no need for us
    to listen to your nonsense.
[07:15] William
    And we'll see the truth
    once classes start, right?
[07:18] Edwin
    I look forward to seeing how
    the school deals with you.
[07:31] Alicia
    Prince Edwin! Oz! William!
[07:34] Edwin
    Hi, Alicia.
[07:35] William
    What, you guys know her?
[07:39] Yumiella
    I'm so exhausted.
[07:42] Rita
    You're home quite early, Miss Yumiella.
[07:45] Rita
    The party isn't over yet, is it?
[07:49] Yumiella
    It's fine. There's no one I can
    see myself becoming friends with.
[07:53] Yumiella
    This is Rita,
[07:54] Yumiella
    the maid sent by my father to look
    after me while he's in the capital.
[07:58] Rita
    You'll never find a good partner that way.
[08:02] Rita
    That will trouble the master, as well.
[08:04] Yumiella
    It seems she's also here as
    an overseer to ensure that
[08:07] Yumiella
    I don't act out of line and that
    I find a marriage partner quickly,
[08:11] Yumiella
    as well as to report back to Father about me.
[08:14] Rita
    I hear the second prince, Edwin,
    is among your classmates.
[08:18] Yumiella
    Yes, and said second prince seems to
    have a very negative impression of me.
[08:24] Yumiella
    Wait, she doesn't know about the
    commotion my level caused, then?
[08:28] Yumiella
    What kind of overseer are you?
[08:31] Yumiella
    Say, do you know what
    "central wannabe" means?
[08:37] Rita
    Someone called you that, I take it?
[08:39] Rita
    It's nothing you need to
    concern yourself with.
[08:42] Yumiella
    I never said anyone called me that.
[08:47] Yumiella
    So it does refer to the Dolkness family.
[08:50] Rita
    You are familiar with the "central
    nobles" and "regional nobles," yes?
[08:54] Yumiella
    Yes. We're regional nobles, right?
[08:57] Yumiella
    Since we don't hold any special
    position in the capital.
[09:01] Rita
    Yes.
[09:03] Rita
    "Central wannabe" refers to regional nobles
[09:07] Rita
    who spend all their time in the capital,
    even though they hold no position there.
[09:11] Yumiella
    Ah.
[09:13] Yumiella
    So it refers to useless nobles
    who spend all their time
[09:16] Yumiella
    goofing off in the capital,
    but doing no real work there,
[09:18] Yumiella
    while leaving their domains in
    the hands of local governors?
[09:21] Rita
    U-Um...
[09:28] Yumiella
    Classes began the next day.
[09:33] Yumiella
    I'm completely isolated in the classroom.
[09:35] Yumiella
    But, you know, this might
    actually make things easier.
[09:39] Yumiella
    It might not be so bad to be part
    of the decor for the next three years.
[09:42] Classmates
    Look, it's that black-haired girl.
[09:44] Classmates
    She claims she's level 99.
[09:47] Classmates
    She might be not quite right in the head.
[09:52] Yumiella
    My hearing has leveled up significantly
    as well, so I can hear every word.
[09:56] Yumiella
    They want me to prove that
    I'm level 99 that badly?
[10:00] William
    Wow, so light magic can heal
    people who are sick or hurt, too?
[10:05] William
    We might be needing your help, then.
[10:08] Oswald
    The old lady you helped out came
    to the school to thank you.
[10:12] Oswald
    I would have opened the gate for
    if you'd told me what happened.
[10:16] Edwin
    So, do you think you'll get
    along okay at the academy?
[10:19] Alicia
    To be honest, I'm a little worried.
[10:21] Alicia
    I'm a commoner, after all.
[10:23] Edwin
    If anything happens, come
    straight to us, all right?
[10:26] Edwin
    We'll help you out.
[10:30] Yumiella
    Today's the first day of classes.
[10:32] Yumiella
    If this was playing out like the game,
    Alicia wouldn't be close to those three yet.
[10:36] Yumiella
    Yet they're already such good friends.
[10:41] Yumiella
    Did the story change because
    I sent them to her?
[10:47] Yumiella
    Alicia Ehnleit.
SIGN    Alicia
SIGN    I can use light magic!
[10:49] Yumiella
    A very rare user of light magic.
[10:52] Yumiella
    That's why she was allowed to enter the
    academy, even though she's a commoner.
SIGN    Alicia
SIGN    So this is the Royal Academy...
[10:56] Yumiella
    Light magic is dark magic's only weakness,
[11:00] Yumiella
    so she could be a trump card
    against the Demon Lord.
[11:03] Yumiella
    Although no one has told her about that yet.
[11:12] Yumiella
    That same reaction again...
[11:20] Yumiella
    Afternoon.
[11:22] Yumiella
    Our first class was practical swordsmanship.
[11:26] Yumiella
    This sword...
[11:27] Yumiella
    It's made of wood, but it's real.
[11:29] Yumiella
    The first one I've ever held...
[11:32] Yumiella
    This reminds me of the souvenir toy
    sword I saw during a field trip.
[11:35] Yumiella
    It was an item any gamer would want to have,
[11:38] Yumiella
    but I couldn't afford it at the time.
[11:41] Sword Teacher
    You'll take turns fighting mock battles
[11:43] Sword Teacher
    so that we can assess your skill levels.
[11:45] Sword Teacher
    Up first is our level 99 student... you.
[11:50] William
    I'll be her opponent, then.
[12:00] Girls
    Master William!
[12:02] Girls
    Good luck!
[12:07] Yumiella
    So... how should I hold back against him?
[12:13] Girls
    Master William!
[12:14] Girls
    Get her!
[12:18] Yumiella
    When I was killing monsters to level up,
[12:20] Yumiella
    I mainly used magic,
[12:23] Yumiella
    but my physical attacks are
    also incredibly strong.
[12:26] William
    What's wrong, you fraud?
[12:29] William
    If you wanna back out, now's the time.
[12:33] Yumiella
    Whether you live or die rides on
    my sense of subtlety, you know.
[12:37] Sword Teacher
    Both of you, take your positions!
[12:43] Students
    What kind of stance is that?
[12:44] Students
    Pathetic!
[12:51] William
    C'mon, get into position already!
[12:53] William
    Or are you gonna surrender without fighting?
[12:55] Yumiella
    I'm sorry. It's my first time using a sword.
[12:59] Yumiella
    We can begin just like this.
[13:02] William
    How long are you gonna keep mocking me?!
[13:04] William
    I won't go easy on you
    just 'cause you're a girl!
[13:07] William
    Expect a broken bone or two!
[13:12] Yumiella
    He's slow.
[13:22] Yumiella
    Sorry. I wasn't expecting you
    to take such a dramatic fall.
[13:28] Yumiella
    Sir, are we finished?
[13:31] Yumiella
    Should I continue to attack?
[13:33] Sword Teacher
    Th-The winner is Yumiella Dolkness.
[13:36] William
    I'm not done!
[13:37] William
    Pretending to be a beginner?!
    Could you be any more of a coward?!
[13:49] Yumiella
    These are tougher than I thought.
[13:51] Yumiella
    Wait, I mean...
[13:53] Yumiella
    Is he okay?
[13:55] Yumiella
    If anything happens to him,
[13:57] Yumiella
    I'll pursue the teacher's
    responsibility as our supervisor.
[14:03] Yumiella
    Looks like I'm safe.
[14:06] Yumiella
    Uh... Shall I carry him
    to the nurse's office?
[14:10] Sword Teacher
    No, that's fine. I'll take him.
[14:16] Sword Teacher
    All of you, do practice swings
    on your own until I come back.
[14:20] Sword Teacher
    And no matches! Understand?!
[14:23] Yumiella
    If Alicia were here, she could
    heal him with light magic,
[14:28] Yumiella
    but she was placed in another group.
[14:33] Yumiella
    There's no need to be that scared.
[14:36] Yumiella
    I held back quite a bit against William.
[14:39] Yumiella
    The fact that he's not mincemeat
    right now proves it.
[14:43] Yumiella
    Practice swings, eh?
[14:53] Yumiella
    The teacher didn't return
    before the class period ended.
[15:02] Yumiella
    Our next class was practical magic.
[15:05] Yumiella
    We joined up with another group of students,
[15:08] Yumiella
    but Edwin isn't among them.
[15:11] Yumiella
    Which is fine with me.
    I want nothing to do with him.
[15:13] Magic Teacher
    First, let's have you all
    demonstrate your magic abilities.
[15:17] Magic Teacher
    Since this is our first lesson,
    just hitting the target is good enough.
[15:29] Yumiella
    The four basic magic attributes
    are fire, wind, water, and earth.
[15:37] Yumiella
    And then there are the very rare
    users of light and dark magic.
[15:43] Students
    Wow, amazing!
[15:45] Students
    This is the first time I've
    ever seen light magic!
[15:47] Alicia
    Th-Thank you.
[16:03] Students
    Awesome...
[16:03] Magic Teacher
    I expected no less from
    you, Oswald Grimsarde!
[16:07] Magic Teacher
    You've mastered all four magic attributes.
[16:10] Magic Teacher
    It's no wonder they call you a prodigy.
[16:12] Oswald
    Really, this is nothing.
[16:16] Oswald
    You're up next. What incredible
    magic will you show us?
[16:21] Yumiella
    He wasn't part of the previous class,
[16:23] Yumiella
    so I guess he doesn't know
    I kicked William's butt.
[16:28] Yumiella
    The truth is, I can't use the four
    basic attributes all that well.
[16:33] Yumiella
    Yes, I am...
[16:36] Yumiella
    a woman who's maxed out her
    talents in muscle and darkness.
[16:40] Yumiella
    Um, is it all right if we break the target?
[16:44] Oswald
    It's been specially made.
[16:47] Oswald
    And even I couldn't break
    it. There's no way you can.
[16:52] Magic Teacher
    You'd have to be as powerful
    as a palace mage to break that.
[16:56] Magic Teacher
    Of course, you're welcome
    to break it if you can.
[17:00] Yumiella
    Thank you.
[17:02] Yumiella
    As powerful as a palace mage, huh?
[17:06] Yumiella
    Easy.
[17:07] Yumiella
    Dark Flame.
[17:11] Oswald
    I wondered what she'd use.
[17:13] Oswald
    It's just a peashooter.
[17:15] Magic Teacher
    That's...
[17:26] Yumiella
    Dark Flame.
[17:28] Yumiella
    It looks like fire, but it's not hot at all,
[17:31] Yumiella
    and it easily melts both stone and metal.
[17:34] Yumiella
    It's similar to sulfuric
    or nitrohydrochloric acid,
[17:37] Yumiella
    so when used on monsters,
    it's rather grotesque.
[17:42] Oswald
    Was that really...
[17:44] Yumiella
    Yes, it was dark magic.
[17:46] Yumiella
    I can't use the other attributes at all.
[17:50] Magic Teacher
    Th-That was brilliant.
[17:52] Magic Teacher
    Everyone, dark magic is not evil.
[17:56] Magic Teacher
    There have been palace mages
    in the past who used it.
[17:59] Magic Teacher
    Try not to adopt any negative
    prejudices about it.
[18:02] Oswald
    This can't be...
[18:04] Oswald
    I'm a magic prodigy.
[18:07] Oswald
    So how... How can there be a
    better magic user than me?!
[18:11] Oswald
    I refuse to accept this!
[18:15] Magic Teacher
    Oswald!
[18:18] Edwin
    Yumiella Dolkness.
[18:24] Edwin
    Your expulsion paperwork is complete.
[18:26] Edwin
    You are not fit to attend the Royal Academy.
[18:30] Yumiella
    That's what he was doing
    instead of attending class?
[18:34] Principal
    Those who lie about their own level
    are not fit for this academy...
[18:38] Principal
    no, unfit for the nobility of
    the Kingdom of Valschein.
[18:42] Principal
    You will find it difficult to live
    in this kingdom if you are expelled.
[18:48] Yumiella
    I will?
[18:49] Yumiella
    Well, it might not be so bad
    to move to another country.
[18:53] Magic Teacher
    P-Please wait, Your Highness! Principal!
[18:57] Magic Teacher
    She is a rare and precious
    user of dark magic.
[19:00] Magic Teacher
    She destroyed a target that even palace
    mages have difficulty breaking.
[19:04] Magic Teacher
    She might truly be level 99 after all!
[19:08] Magic Teacher
    Her expulsion would be a
    great loss to this kingdom!
[19:12] Principal
    But a palace mage can break it, right?
[19:15] Principal
    So it doesn't prove that she's level 99.
[19:18] Principal
    If you want this expulsion revoked,
    you'll need to convince me.
[19:26] Yumiella
    It looks like they really want to expel me,
[19:30] Yumiella
    but wouldn't giving someone as powerful
    as a palace mage to another country
[19:34] Yumiella
    create problems for the royal family,
[19:36] Yumiella
    Prince Edwin?
[19:40] Magic Teacher
    Miss Yumiella, that spell you used
    wasn't your full strength, was it?
[19:44] Magic Teacher
    Show them your magic at
    full strength now! Please!
[19:49] Yumiella
    It's hard to refuse when she begs like that.
[19:53] Yumiella
    Very well. I'll unleash
    this spell into the sky.
[19:57] Yumiella
    Prince Edwin, may I use magic?
[20:01] Edwin
    Do whatever you want.
[20:03] Yumiella
    Are you sure about that?
[20:05] Edwin
    Just do it already.
[20:07] Yumiella
    But if something happens,
    who'll be held responsible?
[20:10] Edwin
    Shooting some magic into the
    sky isn't going to do anything.
[20:13] Edwin
    I'll assume responsibility.
[20:16] Yumiella
    All right. I got his word.
[20:18] Yumiella
    I'll use the strongest dark magic spell

    that only the Demon Lord and
    I could use in the game.
[20:27] Yumiella

    Black Hole.
[21:00] Students/Teachers
    What is that?!
[21:01] Students/Teachers

[21:02] Students/Teachers
    The sun disappeared!

    Black Hole.
[21:06] Yumiella
    A spell that unconditionally erases
[21:08] Yumiella
    all matter within a given range by
    controlling the gravitational field.
[21:12] Yumiella

[21:14] Yumiella

    range is being eliminated,
[21:17] Yumiella
    and now it's become a perfect vacuum
[21:20] Yumiella
    as the air surrounding it sucks
    everything in with tremendous power.
[21:53] Yumiella

[21:55] Yumiella
    Are you convinced that I'm level 99 now?
