    The summer recess.
[00:07] Yumiella
    Also known as summer break.
[00:10] Yumiella
    Most students return to
    their family homes,
[00:12] Yumiella
    but there are a few who stay at school.
[00:15] Yumiella
    Patrick and I are among those who remain.
[00:18] Patrick
    The tip of your sword is drifting again!
[00:28] Yumiella
    Sorry! I used too much strength.
[00:35] Patrick
    It's okay. I'm used to it by now.
[00:39] Yumiella
    Sorry to have you spar with me
    every day, even over break.
[00:43] Patrick
    I'm the one who asked you to do it.
[00:45] Patrick
    I don't want you sending me
    airborne during class again.
[00:48] Yumiella
    I've been practicing
    controlling my strength.
[00:51] Yumiella
    Using this magic slab meant
    for people at level 60.
[00:54] Patrick
    What is that?
[00:56] Yumiella
    I'm practicing using just enough
    force on this without bending it.
[01:00] Yumiella
    Oh...
[01:04] Yumiella
    It still goes wrong sometimes.
[01:07] Patrick
    Is it that brittle?
[01:09] Yumiella
    It was going so well during
    my solo practice sessions...
SIGN    Villainess Level 99
SIGN    I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
[02:45] Yumiella
    Afternoons are for studying
    on our own in the classroom.
[02:47] Yumiella
    There's nothing to do back
    at the dorms, anyway.
[02:50] Yumiella
    And besides, lately...
[02:51] Alice
    M-Miss Yumiella...
[02:54] Yumiella
    Yes?
[02:54] Alice
    There's a part of this assignment
    that we don't understand.
[02:57] Becky
    Would you mind giving us some advice?
[02:59] Yumiella
    Of course. Which part is it?
[03:01] Alice/Becky
    Thank you!
[03:04] Yumiella
    People have been approaching me
    more frequently, just like this.
[03:08] Alice
    So, um, you and Master Patrick...
[03:10] Yumiella
    Huh?
[03:11] Becky
    What is it you two are
    always doing together?
[03:14] Yumiella
    Training to level up.
[03:16] Alice/Becky
    Huh?
[03:18] Yumiella
    Could it be that you two are
    interested in leveling up, as well?
[03:23] Yumiella
    Just ask me at any time.
[03:25] Yumiella
    I can recommend dungeons for you,
[03:27] Yumiella
    and I can even help by using
    the Monster-Calling Flute.
[03:30] Alice
    Oh, no, um...
[03:33] Patrick
    Why do you always jump straight to that?
[03:35] Patrick
    You're scaring them!
[03:37] Yumiella
    I was only talking about leveling up.
[03:39] Patrick
    Watch how people are reacting
    to you before you say that!
[03:42] Yumiella
    How they're reacting, huh?
[03:45] Students
    Master Patrick and Miss Yumiella are like...
[03:47] Students
    A beast tamer and a wild beast.
[03:49] Students
    I can see it!
[03:50] Yumiella
    I can hear you.
[03:52] Students
    But don't they look a
    bit like siblings, too?
[03:54] Students
    I can see it!
[03:56] Yumiella
    I don't think he and I
    are quite that close...
[04:04] Yumiella
    There's something I've realized recently.
[04:06] Yumiella
    Is it possible that my knowledge...
[04:08] Yumiella
    is too biased toward magic?
[04:11] Yumiella
    Watching Patrick made me
    realize the importance
[04:15] Yumiella
    of the techniques involved in combat,
    as well as strategy and leadership.
[04:18] Yumiella
    What I need in order to
    become even stronger is...
[04:21] Yumiella
    Yes! Combat techniques!
[04:24] Yumiella
    Maybe I should just read every
    military-related book I see.
[04:30] Yumiella
    Alicia?!
[04:32] Yumiella
    Is she alone?
[04:34] Yumiella
    Her usual trio is back
    home with their families,
[04:36] Yumiella
    so I guess she's the one
    who's all alone now.
[04:42] Alicia
    Miss Yumiella.
[04:43] Yumiella
    What is it, Miss Alicia?
[04:46] Alicia
    I have a favor to ask.
[04:47] Yumiella
    Huh?
[04:48] Alicia
    Would you please teach me how to use magic?
[04:54] Yumiella
    I see. So you don't understand
    light magic all that well.
[04:58] Alicia
    Right.
[04:59] Alicia
    Since light magic is such a rare attribute,
[05:02] Alicia
    even the teachers seem to be
    unsure how to teach me about it.
[05:06] Alicia
    There aren't many books about
    it at the castle, either.
[05:09] Alicia
    I've been trying to find
    something here, but...
[05:13] Yumiella
    If the castle doesn't have any, the
    school library isn't likely to, either.
[05:17] Alicia
    I've heard that your dark magic is
    just as uncommon as light magic.
[05:23] Alicia
    I was hoping there might be
    something you could teach me.
[05:28] Yumiella
    All right. If there's anything I
    can help with, I'd be glad to.
[05:32] Alicia
    Thank you so much!
[05:34] Yumiella
    That heroine smile!
[05:36] Alicia
    Let's get right to it!
SIGN    Diligent
[05:37] Alicia
    How did you learn about your dark magic?
[05:41] Yumiella
    I can't tell her I saw it in the game.
SIGN    Alicia
SIGN    Monsters, rest in peace within this light!
[05:44] Yumiella
    Naturally, I know about light
    magic because I played the game.
[05:49] Yumiella
    But it wouldn't make sense for me to
    know things there are no books about.
[05:54] Yumiella
    How do I explain it?
[05:57] Yumiella
    For starters, why don't you try
    envisioning a finishing move?
[06:00] Yumiella
    Something like this.
[06:02] Alicia
    Finishing...?
[06:04] Yumiella
    Oh, I guess she doesn't
    have a finishing move.
[06:06] Yumiella
    Well, then, do you have any strong
    memories that involve light?
[06:12] Alicia
    Memories, huh?
[06:14] Yumiella
    Yes. Maybe you could recall them
    when you want to use light magic.
[06:19] Alicia
    Light...
[06:20] Alicia
    It reminds me of seeing the starry sky
    with my grandma back in the country.
[06:25] Yumiella
    Stars... I see.
[06:27] Alicia
    The place where I lived was very rural.
[06:29] Alicia
    It didn't have tall buildings or anything.
[06:33] Alicia
    But because of that, the whole sky was
    filled with stars, and it was so beautiful.
[06:42] Alicia
    When I think about those days,
[06:44] Alicia
    the thought that I'm here at this
    academy now seems like a dream.
[06:49] Alicia
    Thanks, Miss Yumiella!
[06:51] Alicia
    I think this has helped
    me figure something out.
[06:55] Alicia
    I hope you'll let me come to you
    for advice again if I need it!
[06:58] Yumiella
    Uh, sure. Anytime.
[07:00] Alicia
    Well, bye, then!
[07:18] Yumiella
    Patrick.
[07:20] Patrick
    This is from the queen.
[07:23] Yumiella
    You went to the castle?
[07:25] Patrick
    Well, yeah.
[07:27] Yumiella
    I guess the sons of margraves are
    pretty busy people, huh?
[07:30] Patrick
    Yeah, pretty much.
[07:32] Yumiella
    These are pastries. Do you want
    to eat them with me in my room?
[07:35] Patrick
    Wha—
[07:36] Yumiella
    Rita... er, my maid will
    prepare some good tea for us.
[07:41] Patrick
    Don't invite a man into a lady's
    room like it's no big deal!
[07:46] Yumiella
    I'm sorry.
[07:50] Patrick
    No... I'm sorry, too.
[07:53] Patrick
    Why don't we eat in the cafeteria?
[07:55] Yumiella
    Yes, let's.
[08:04] Patrick
    This is good.
[08:05] Yumiella
    Isn't it?
[08:06] Patrick
    Why do you sound so proud?
[08:09] Alice
    Master Patrick and Miss Yumiella...
[08:12] Becky
    They really are close.
[08:15] Yumiella
    Summer break ended, and the season of
    the martial arts competition arrived.
[08:19] Yumiella
    The martial arts competition is
    a schoolwide event consisting of
[08:24] Yumiella
    a sword fighting portion conducted
    in one-on-one tournament format
[08:27] Yumiella
    and an individually scored magic portion.
[08:30] Yumiella
    In the game, Alicia stirs up the
    crowd with her light magic,
[08:34] Yumiella
    but I don't participate.
[08:36] Yumiella
    Powerful nobles come to
    watch this competition,
[08:40] Yumiella
    so it's a chance for students
    striving to be military officers
[08:42] Yumiella
    to show what they can do.
[08:44] Yumiella
    I don't think it'd be right
    to interfere with that.
[08:48] Patrick
    Ah, the martial arts competition.
    Are you participating?
[08:51] Yumiella
    Of course not. What about you?
[08:54] Patrick
    I'll pass, too.
[08:56] Patrick
    I have no interest in joining the military.
[08:59] Patrick
    Anyway, who would even want the prize
    they're offering the winner this year?
[09:03] Yumiella
    Prize?
[09:05] Yumiella
    The winners in each portion will receive...
    an amulet that enhances dark magic?
[09:10] Yumiella
    Is that a rare item I don't know about?
[09:12] Patrick
    But you're the only one
    who can use dark magic,
[09:16] Patrick
    and if you get any stronger
    than you already are...
[09:18] Yumiella
    I want it.
[09:19] Patrick
    Huh?
[09:20] Yumiella
    I really want it! I want it so bad!
[09:22] Yumiella
    I'm gonna get it, whatever it takes!
[09:25] Patrick
    Hey! Take it easy, Yumiella!
[09:31] Yumiella
    I'm entering the martial arts competition.
[09:33] Ronald
    You're scaring me.
[09:35] Yumiella
    If I hadn't learned what the prize was,
[09:37] Yumiella
    the winners would have unknowingly
    become targets for robbery.
[09:41] Ronald
    You're so scary.
[09:42] Yumiella
    So please see that I am entered in
    both portions of the competition.
[09:47] Ronald
    Sure, sure.
[09:49] Yumiella
    Event rewards must be obtained by
    legitimately winning the event. That's my motto.
[09:56] Ronald
    I didn't think she'd actually take the bait.
SIGN    The Hidden Boss Participates in the Martial Arts Competition
[10:10] Yumiella
    This is an even bigger deal
    than I thought it'd be.
[10:12] Patrick
    I heard that those amulets
    were given to the principal
[10:16] Patrick
    by the king himself, to
    be passed along to you.
[10:20] Patrick
    Yet they decided to offer them
    as prizes, which must mean...
[10:24] Yumiella
    The principal set me up.
[10:26] Patrick
    He's probably trying to use this as a
    chance to show you off to the nobles.
[10:31] Yumiella
    Are these nobles seeing this as a
    trip to a zoo to see the lions
[10:37] Yumiella
    or a viewing of the military's latest weapon?
[10:42] Yumiella
    It's tough being popular.
[10:44] Sword Teacher2
    We will now determine the match-ups
    for the sword fighting portion.
[10:47] Sword Teacher2
    Participants, to the center of the arena.
[10:49] Yumiella
    Well, off I go. I'll do my best.
[10:52] Patrick
    Yeah, good luck.
[10:54] Patrick
    Uh, maybe don't do your "best," though!
[10:56] Patrick
    "Good enough" is good enough!
    In fact, do your best to hold back!
[10:59] Yumiella
    He's asking a lot.
[11:03] Yumiella
    The sword fighting match-ups
    are determined by lottery.
[11:07] Yumiella
    Edwin and William...
[11:09] Yumiella
    are both in the left block.
[11:18] Yumiella
    Number three on the right.
[11:23] William
    I hear you stayed at school all
    through the summer recess.
[11:26] Yumiella
    Huh? Yes...
[11:28] William
    I spent the whole time training.
[11:30] William
    Don't think this'll end
    like it did last time.
[11:33] William
    I'm level 20 now!
[11:36] Yumiella
    I don't know if that's impressive or not...
[11:39] Yumiella
    But I'm curious to know
    what he did to level up.
[11:43] Yumiella
    Take this! The three sacred
    implements of idle chatter!
SIGN    I see.
[11:46] Yumiella
    I see.
SIGN    That's amazing.
[11:47] Yumiella
    That's amazing.
SIGN    Please tell me more.
[11:48] Yumiella
    Please tell me more.
[11:50] William
    Are you mocking me?
[11:52] Yumiella
    It didn't work.
[11:54] William
    Look... I'm sorry.
[11:56] Yumiella
    What?
[11:57] William
    I heard from Captain Adolf
    that you're level 99.
[12:03] William
    And if he says so, it must be true.
[12:06] Yumiella
    I'm just glad the misunderstanding
    is cleared up.
[12:08] William
    My dream is to surpass Captain
    Adolf. In other words...
[12:13] William
    Beating you would bring me
    closer to achieving my dream.
[12:17] Yumiella
    You're actually getting
    closer to your own death.
[12:25] Sword Teacher2
    The winner: Miles Clory!
[12:27] Yumiella
    I'm up next.
[12:32] Sword Teacher2
    Second match: Yumiella
    Dolkness versus Lewis Lexam!
[12:42] Yumiella
    There's no way I'm going to lose,
[12:44] Yumiella
    but he's seeing this as
    a part of job-hunting.
[12:48] Yumiella
    I'll give him a chance to shine.
[12:50] Yumiella
    I need to hold back enough to let
    the audience see his strength.
[12:55] Yumiella
    The only concern is the
    durability of these swords.
[12:58] Yumiella
    A broken weapon is instant disqualification,
[13:00] Yumiella
    so I went to some pains to get this sword.
[13:03] Yumiella
    Most swords snap right in two when
    I use them at full strength.
[13:11] Yumiella
    Okay. That should be enough
    to keep my sword intact.
[13:15] Lewis
    I withdraw!
[13:17] Yumiella
    Huh?
[13:17] Sword Teacher2
    The winner... is Yumiella Dolkness.
[13:21] Yumiella
    Did he suddenly start to feel ill?
[13:24] Yumiella
    From there, I advanced to the final round...
[13:25] Student1
    I withdraw.
[13:27] Student2
    I withdraw.
[13:28] Yumiella
    without even having to fight anyone.
[13:30] Student3
    I-I withdraw!
[13:42] Sword Teacher2
    The winner: William Ares!
[13:44] Yumiella
    Edwin is a magic swordsman.
[13:46] Yumiella
    When he fights with only a sword,
[13:49] Yumiella
    he's at a disadvantage against William.
[13:53] Sword Teacher2
    The final round: Yumiella
    Dolkness versus William Ares!
[13:57] William
    I won't withdraw.
    I'm gonna fight you fair and square.
[14:01] Yumiella
    The final round, and I finally get to fight.
[14:04] Yumiella
    Thank goodness. Winning the whole thing by
    default would've left a bad taste in my mouth.
[14:10] William
    My weapon is the Greatsword of Strodo!
[14:12] William
    It won't be like that wooden sword!
[14:15] Yumiella
    I remember that from the game.
[14:17] Yumiella
    It's supposed to be a sword you
    get near the end of the story.
[14:21] Yumiella
    How did he get it?
[14:24] Yumiella
    Guess he has connections.
[14:27] Sword Teacher2
    Final round! Begin!
[14:39] William
    Damn you!
[14:40] Yumiella
    He's already out of breath.
[14:42] Yumiella
    That's what happens when you use
    a weapon that's above your level.
[14:46] William
    All you're doing is evading.
[14:49] Yumiella
    He's right. Just evading the
    whole time would be boring.
[14:52] Yumiella
    It's the final. I should make it climactic
[14:55] Yumiella
    and contribute to the
    excitement of the event.
[14:58] Yumiella
    If I deflect his attacks like Patrick
    does, I won't have to dodge.
[15:07] Yumiella
    No! It's about to break!
[15:09] Yumiella
    If my sword breaks, I'm disqualified!
[15:11] Yumiella
    Yumiella Punch!
[15:14] Yumiella
    Allow me to explain.
[15:15] Yumiella
    Yumiella Punch is an ultra
    high-speed punch that I can use.
[15:20] Yumiella
    People at low levels can't even see it.
[15:22] William
    My sword... got shattered
    by a dull blade like that?
[15:27] Yumiella
    Good. He didn't notice.
[15:29] Sword Teacher2
    The winner: Yumiella Dolkness!
[15:35] Yumiella
    My hand kind of moved of its own accord,
[15:37] Yumiella
    but I'm glad nobody seemed to notice.
[15:40] Adolf
    She broke a greatsword with her bare hand?
[15:44] Yumiella
    The latter half of the competition
    is the magic portion.
[15:48] Yumiella
    Participants display their
    magic in order by level,
[15:50] Yumiella
    and they're scored by academy
    teachers and palace mages.
[15:54] Yumiella
    I'm up last, so I have some free time.
[15:58] Oswald
    Impressive showing in the
    sword fighting portion.
[16:02] Yumiella
    Thank you.
[16:03] Oswald
    But the magic portion won't be so easy.
[16:06] Oswald
    You'll be scored not only
    on the strength of your magic,
[16:07] Oswald
    but on the type you use and
    your accuracy, as well.
[16:12] Oswald
    My level may be lower,
[16:13] Oswald
    but since I can use all four major
    elements, I should have an advantage.
[16:17] Yumiella
    Really?
[16:19] Yumiella
    What did you do to level up
    during the summer recess?
[16:22] Oswald
    I didn't go into dungeons alone
    or use a Monster-Calling Flute.
[16:27] Oswald
    I did it the right way.
[16:29] Yumiella
    The right way?
[16:30] Oswald
    There's one thing I wanted to tell you.
[16:32] Yumiella
    What is it?
[16:34] Oswald
    I guess it's really true
    that you're level 99.
[16:38] Oswald
    I apologize for doubting you.
[16:41] Yumiella
    I'm just glad the misunderstanding
    is cleared up.
[16:43] Oswald
    But I'm sorry to say...
[16:44] Oswald
    it doesn't change the fact
    that I'll never like you.
[16:48] Oswald
    I'm going to be the top
    mage in this kingdom,
[16:51] Oswald
    and as the first step toward achieving
    that, I'm going to win this competition.
[16:56] Yumiella
    I'll be applying my full strength, as well.
[16:59] Oswald
    Just the way I want it. Goodbye.
[17:03] Magic Teacher2
    First-year, Alicia Ehnleit.
[17:15] Alicia
    Sun Rain!
[17:25] Yumiella
    This is...
[17:28] (Flashback) Alicia
    It reminds me of seeing the
    starry sky with my grandma...
[17:31] Yumiella
    The same magic she used in the game.
[17:34] Yumiella
    See? You can do it if you try.
[17:37] Yumiella
    I guess that's to be expected.
    She's the heroine, after all.
[17:42] Yumiella
    It's only natural that things would
    go just the way they did in the game.
[17:49] Magic Teacher2
    Alicia Ehnleit: 88 points!
[17:52] Alicia
    I never knew I could do that...
[17:55] Magic Teacher1
    Above all, the rarity of her light magic
[17:59] Magic Teacher1
    and the beauty of her spell
    were the key to her score.
[18:03] Yumiella
    If rarity counts,
    I might have a chance, too.
[18:15] Yumiella
    In magic alone, he might win
    in the same way William did.
[18:23] Magic Teacher2
    Edwin Valschein: 90 points!
[18:27] Magic Teacher2
    First-year, Oswald Grimsarde.
[18:44] Magic Teacher1
    Oh, my!
[18:55] Yumiella
    He has not only accuracy,
[18:56] Yumiella
    but also a combination
    of multiple types of magic.
[18:59] Yumiella
    He was right. He's a genius.
[19:12] Magic Teacher2
    Oswald Grimsarde: 100 points!
[19:15] Magic Teacher2
    Remarkable! A perfect score!
[19:18] Yumiella
    A perfect score?
[19:24] Oswald
    I've won. You can't beat 100
    points, no matter what you do.
[19:28] Yumiella
    But if I get 100 points, it'll be a draw.
[19:34] Yumiella
    So I said, but I haven't decided
    which spell to use yet.
[19:40] Magic Teacher2
    The final competitor:
[19:41] Magic Teacher2
    first-year, Yumiella Dolkness!
[19:46] Yumiella
    Patrick?
[19:48] Yumiella
    Why is he so far away?
[19:51] Yumiella
    It's my turn, and he's not in the front row?
[19:54] Yumiella
    Oh, well.
[19:56] Yumiella
    Just watch. I'll do my best
    so you can see it from there.
[20:03] Yumiella
    Why did he back away?
[20:07] Yumiella
    I'm not confident in my control,
[20:10] Yumiella
    so I'll have to go with a display of power.
[20:13] Yumiella
    Take a good look at the power of level 99!
[20:19] Yumiella
    Black Hole!
[20:32] Yumiella
    Ah... How long has it been since
    I cast a spell at full strength?
[20:42] Yumiella
    Oh...
[20:46] Yumiella
    I had no idea I could use
    such beautiful magic, too...
[20:58] Yumiella
    I forgot that this spell always
    causes a miniature typhoon.
[21:02] Students
    We're doomed!
[21:03] Students
    We're all gonna die!
[21:04] Students
    She really is the Demon Lord!
[21:07] Yumiella
    Shoot! I've only used one spell so far!
[21:09] Yumiella
    I need to rack up points with variety!
[21:13] Yumiella
    Dark Bind? Or maybe a healing
    spell like Turbid Flow?
[21:17] Magic Teacher2
    That's it! Stop! We're done!
[21:20] Yumiella
    Wait, please! Save the scoring until
    after you've seen one more spell!
[21:24] Magic Teacher2
    300 points!
[21:25] Yumiella
    Huh?
[21:28] Yumiella
    Isn't 100 points a perfect score?
[21:30] Magic Teacher2
    Don't worry about that! You can
    have 300 points! Just stop this!
[21:33] Magic Teacher2
    You win!
[21:38] Ronald
    Congratulations on your
    victory, Miss Yumiella.
[21:42] Yumiella
    Thank you.
[21:44] Yumiella
    Now my magic will be stronger.
[21:47] Ronald
    Is that really necessary, though?
[21:50] Yumiella
    There are too many people in this world
    who don't understand the value of things.
[21:55] Yumiella
    But Patrick will...
[21:59] Patrick
    Do you really even need that amulet?
[22:02] Yumiella
    Maybe I should show him how much stronger
    this amulet makes my dark magic,
[22:05] Yumiella
    right here and now.
[22:07] Patrick
    Huh? What's wrong?!
