[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?!
