**[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*
**[20:22] Yumiella**
* that only the Demon Lord and*
* I could use in the game.*
**[20:27] Yumiella**
* But... it's probably a bad idea*
* to actually use my full strength.*
**[20:31] Yumiella**
*I'll hold back just enough.*
**[20:36] Yumiella**
Black Hole.
**[21:00] Students/Teachers**
What is that?!
**[21:01] Students/Teachers**
That darkness in the sky!
**[21:02] Students/Teachers**
The sun disappeared!
**[21:04] Yumiella**
*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**
*In other words, as the spell expands,*
**[21:14] Yumiella**
* even the air within its*
* 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**
How was that, Your Highness?
**[21:55] Yumiella**
Are you convinced that I'm level 99 now?
