*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.*

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?!
