    The True Name of Cowards
SIGN    The 1/1,000 Rule
[01:33] Finn; narration
    The one one-thousandth rule.
[01:36] Finn; narration
    It's the tower standard
    for determining credits.
[01:39] Finn; narration
    A monster worth one credit is considered
    equivalent to a mage with a thousand credits.
[01:47] Will
    Worth 270 credits...
[01:49] Finn; narration
    Converted into what a mage might possess,
[01:53] Finn; narration
    A 270-credit monster
    would equate to...
[01:55] Finn; narration
    a 270,000-credit mage.
[01:59] Will
    An Evil Grand Duke!
[02:04] Will
    Don't let it hit you!
[02:16] Julius
    You can't be serious! How is it so powerful?
[02:20] Will
    Lihanna, we have to retreat!
    We can still make it out alive!
[02:24] Lihanna
    Run!
[02:28] Wignall
    You all go on ahead!
[02:30] Wignall
    Obey me now! Come! Open the way!
[02:32] Wignall
    Alfs Ringhul!
[02:38] Will
    Wignall! Hurry!
[02:40] Wignall
    Right.
[02:45] Wignall; internal
    It tore its way through illusion magic?
[03:05] Colette
    This can't be happening!
    What is that monster?
[03:11] Will
    I saw something about it
    in the academy library.
[03:14] Will
    It's an Evil Grand Duke.
[03:16] Will
    They appear on floor 25 and are near
    the apex of the evil family of monsters.
[03:20] Julius
    Floor 25?!
[03:21] Julius
    What's a monster like that doing here?
[03:24] Lihanna
    It must have to do with those mages
    who called the gate.
[03:35] Sion
    Did we make a clean break?
[03:37] Will
    No, they're looking for us.
[03:41] Julius
    How many Evil Guards and
    Evil Sentinels are there?
[03:44] Will
    The Grand Duke is commanding them.
    It's ordered them to find us.
[03:48] Sion
    With this many sentinels
    gathered here on floor 11...
[03:52] Sion
    Is it because of that monster?
[03:57] Julius
    Hey! Are you implying there's no escape?
[04:01] Julius
    That we're stuck on this floor
     overrun with demons?
[04:04] Julius
    That all of us are just going to die here?!
[04:08] Lihanna; internal
    Utterly exhausted, battered, and in
    the worst sort of irrational situation...
[04:13] Lihanna; internal
    Despair is trying to smother our spirits.
[04:17] Lihanna; internal
    What are we supposed to do?
[04:19] Will
    Our only recourse...
    is to slay the Grand Duke.
[04:26] Will
    When a lord of baron rank
     or higher is present,
[04:28] Will
    evil-type monsters establish a domain
    that can span across multiple floors.
[04:33] Will
    But if we take out the lord,
    they lose their leader.
[04:38] Will
    That should open up a way.
[04:40] Colette
    You're saying that since their boss
    was warped to this floor via a gate,
[04:44] Colette
    if we can break their chain of command,
[04:46] Colette
    it will be easier for rescue from
    the academy to reach us? Is that it?
[04:51] Julius
    Don't be stupid!
[04:52] Julius
    Have you lost your mind, no-talent?
[04:54] Julius
    Do you really think we can
     beat that thing all on our own?
[04:59] Will
    I have a plan, but I won't
    pressure you into helping.
[05:03] Will
    After all, I can't use magic.
[05:05] Julius
    That goes without saying!
    Who would trust a plan that you—
[05:08] Wignall
    I trust him.
[05:11] Wignall
    His wisdom and self-sacrifice
     saved me countless times.
[05:15] Wignall
    I will trust in them now.
[05:17] Colette
    I trust him, too! Will knows more
    about the dungeon than anyone!
[05:22] Sion
    If running will only end with
    us being chased and cornered,
[05:25] Sion
    we should face the threat instead.
[05:27] Sion
    But it's not like I'm going along
     with what the laggard is saying!
[05:30] Will
    Wignall, Colette... and you, Sion...
[05:35] Wignall
    Lihanna, I have allowed him to touch me.
[05:39] Wignall
    I hope you'll trust in a
     sworn friend of the elves.
[05:46] Lihanna
    It seems I was mistaken from the beginning.
[05:49] Lihanna
    You weren't meant to be our shield.
    You were meant to be our leader.
[05:53] Lihanna
    As things stand, you're the only one whose
    eyes do not look beleaguered by despair.
[05:59] Will
    Lihanna...
[06:01] Lihanna
    I trust Wignall, and if he believes in you,
[06:05] Lihanna
    then I shall entrust everything
     to you as well, Serfort...
[06:09] Lihanna
    No, Will.
[06:12] Lihanna
    Give us your orders.
[06:13] Lihanna
    We shall follow your lead.
[06:17] Will
    Understood. We will make it back alive!
[06:21] Julius
    Have you all lost your minds? We can't
     possibly win using a no-talent's plan!
[06:25] Will
    You're right, Julius.
[06:27] Will
    We can't win with my plan alone.
[06:30] Will
    You're the key.
[06:33] Will
    Please lend us your strength.
[06:35] Julius
    What did you say?
[06:36] Will
    I'll teach you a secret
    magical trick of Elfie's.
[06:41] Julius
    What?
[07:00] Julius
    Gaol of frozen earth!
    Hail from the shattered heavens!
[07:03] Julius
    Eter—
[07:05] Julius
    Eternity is far away
[07:06] Julius
    as this moment passes by!
[07:08] Julius
    Lyre of tears,
[07:10] Julius
    playing a melody of pale ice
[07:12] Julius
    enveloping everything in stillness!
[07:15] (Flashback) Julius
    A secret trick of Albis Vina?
[07:18] (Flashback) Will
    Yes. Elfie's Ars Weiss spell can
     keep an incantation going.
[07:23] (Flashback) Julius
    Keep it going?
[07:24] (Flashback) Will
    Normally, if an incantation is
    interrupted, you can't cast the spell.
[07:28] (Flashback) Will
    But Elfie's Ars Weiss can pick up
    from where the doubles leave off.
[07:35] (Flashback) Will
    So if one is destroyed and cut off,
[07:37] (Flashback) Will
    another can continue the incantation.
[07:40] Julius; background
    Tenderness, dissipate! Love, begone!
[07:40] (Flashback) Will
    With that, it should be possible to cast
    advanced spells with long incantations.
[07:42] Julius
    I have cut myself free of you!
[07:44] Julius
    Offer up blood!
    Swear upon the corpses of the dead!
[07:47] Julius; internal
    "It should be possible," my foot!
    That blasted no-talent!
[07:51] Julius; internal
    Do they have any idea how difficult
    it is just to maintain Ars Weiss?
[07:56] Julius; internal
    Foisting all of this on me...
[07:58] Julius
    Blast it all!
[08:01] Julius
    I am a protector!
[08:04] Julius
    Defender of the maiden Narcia's gravestone!
[08:09] Will
    Everyone, cover Julius!
[08:11] Will
    Low-level spells will do!
    Just keep firing to slow the monster down!
[08:14] Will
    Colette!
[08:15] Will
    Sion!
[08:16] Will
    Wignall!
[08:17] Colette; simultaneous
    Frubas Julier!
[08:17] Sion; simultaneous
    Ignis Rooks!
[08:17] Wignall; simultaneous
    Verdes Lana!
[08:27] Wignall
    It's unharmed?
[08:28] Sion
    Blast it!
[08:29] Colette
    Its wings are impenetrable.
[08:31] Colette
    Just like Will said!
[08:43] Will; internal
    If what I read in the library is true,
    the grand duke's wings are impenetrable.
[08:47] Will; internal
    Neither Sion and the others'
    or my attacks will get through.
[08:51] Will; internal
    So we'll just serve as decoys!
[08:53] Will; internal
    We'll keep the enemy occupied
    until Julius begins his bombardment!
[08:57] Wignall
    Wind!
[09:02] Julius
    Construct a casket of blue steel!
[09:06] Julius
    That shall be the forest's garden that rises
    in the farthest lands! Armenta Auliscas!
[09:30] Colette
    Julius's last resort,
     his all-out icy assault...
[09:34] Wignall
    The monster blocked it.
[09:37] (Flashback) Will
    The hitch is that we're up
    against a 270-credit foe.
[09:40] (Flashback) Will
    It might be able to block
    Julius's ultimate attack.
[09:43] (Flashback) Will
    Which is why, in the end...
[09:45] Will
    Lihanna!
[09:46] Lihanna
    Owen Sique...
[09:48] Lihanna
    Lisolde Dua!
[09:51] Lihanna
    Algiz!
[09:52] Will; internal
    Even if it blocked the bombardment,
[09:55] Will; internal
    the effects of the ice will slow its wings!
[09:58] Will; internal
    With Lihanna's high-speed maneuvering,
[10:00] Will; internal
    she'll be able to slip into
    close-quarters striking range!
[10:06] Lihanna; internal
    A barrier?!
[10:07] Lihanna; internal
    Wait, is that a remote circle?
[10:09] Lihanna; internal
    An autobarrier cast on the monster?
[10:12] Lihanna; internal
    Did those mages inscribe
    this spell in advance?
[10:16] Will
    Lihanna!
[10:21] Will
    Kiki!
SIGN    Magical Attributes
    
    There are seven basic magical attributes: dark, fire, wind, earth, lightning, water, and light.
    But to ask such rudimentary questions about elementary subjects at this point...
    It seems to me you ought to reeducate yourself beginning with freshman year.
    Now, drill these next words into your head, you who are only concerned with seeking entertainment...
    The genesis of the attributes is not light—it's darkness.
    
    -Edward Serfence
SIGN    Evil Grand Duke
    
    If you encounter one, run.
    Abandon all hope and optimism.
    Prayers will not work against demons.
    
    -Excerpt from a bloodstained note
[11:01] Workner
    Why is a Grand Duke there?
[11:03] Edward
    We don't have time to think about
    that right now! Hurry, Workner!
[11:08] Workner; internal
    Will...
[11:13] Wignall
    Mellvent!
[11:17] Colette
    Will!
[11:20] Wignall
    Lihanna!
[11:21] Wignall
    Are you both all right?
[11:23] Lihanna
    I'm fine...
[11:25] Lihanna
    But Will covered me.
[11:28] Colette
    Will, Will...
[11:30] Colette
    Will!
[11:36] Julius
    It's tearing its way through my ice!
[11:38] Sion
    It's trying to attack again!
[11:40] Lihanna
    Withdraw.
[11:42] Lihanna
    All of you. Take Will and run.
[11:44] Lihanna
    I will buy you time to get away.
[11:48] Lihanna
    Even if it costs me my life...
    I will hold that thing here!
[11:51] Colette
    What are you talking about, Lihanna?
[11:53] Lihanna
    It was I who failed to finish it off.
[11:56] Lihanna
    I must do this.
[11:58] Colette
    No! You can't!
[12:01] Lihanna
    Do you know why we of
    House Owenzaus are so short-lived?
[12:05] Lihanna
    It's because, as knights,
    we are shields to our allies.
[12:11] Wignall
    I will stay with you.
[12:13] Lihanna
    Wignall... But why?
[12:16] Wignall
    Lihanna, besides you,
    I've finally managed to find...
[12:20] Wignall
    another Rhizanth I respect.
[12:28] Colette
    Lihanna! Wignall!
[12:30] Julius
    Hey, what are we going to do?
[12:58] Sion; internal
    All we can do is run. Wignall and Lihanna...
[13:02] Sion; internal
    are both going to die.
[13:04] Sion; internal
    To make sure their deaths aren't in vain,
[13:07] Sion; internal
    we have to flee this place!
[13:10] Sion; internal
    There is no disgrace in that!
[13:12] Sion; internal
    There's nothing to be ashamed of here!
[13:15] Sion; internal
    Abandoning the two of them
    and getting out of here...
[13:20] Will
    Sion...
[13:22] Will
    I need you to slug me.
[13:27] Sion
    What?
[13:30] Will
    I can't stop trembling.
[13:33] Will
    Elfie's goggles are broken...
[13:37] Will
    I can't do this.
[13:41] Will
    Without those goggles, I...
[13:44] Will
    I'm so scared that I can't do anything.
[13:48] Sion
    You can't be serious!
[13:50] Sion
    You're the one who started all of this!
[13:52] Sion
    You're the one who gave us all hope!
[13:58] Sion
    Lihanna and Wignall are going to die!
[14:01] Sion
    And you're saying you're scared?!
[14:05] Sion
    Own up to what you've wrought!
[14:07] Sion
    You're responsible for landing us here!
[14:13] Sion
    Thanks to you, I'm gonna...
    We're all gonna—
[14:17] Colette
    Sion, stop!
[14:27] Will
    Thank you, Sion.
[14:31] Will
    I'm not trembling anymore.
[14:44] Will
    Colette, look after Kiki for me.
[14:50] Sion
    Wh-What is wrong with him?
[14:53] Sion
    He's not frightened at all!
[14:56] Colette
    Oh, he's scared.
[14:58] Colette
    He's scared right now. He always is.
[15:00] Colette
    He's always terrified!
[15:02] Sion
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[15:05] Sion
    How do you expect me to believe that?
[15:06] Colette
    Have you ever held a sword?
[15:09] Sion
    What?
[15:11] Colette
    With a wand, you can cast magic from afar.
[15:13] Colette
    But a sword is different!
[15:16] Colette
    You have to battle opponents
    that are far bigger and stronger!
[15:20] Colette
    You have to get in there yourself!
[15:21] Colette
    Have you ever imagined
    how frightening that must be?!
[15:28] Colette
    Will is a weakling.
[15:30] Colette
    But no matter how scared he is,
    no matter how pathetic he seems...
[15:33] Colette
    He's most afraid of running away.
    He's just a simple coward!
[15:38] Colette
    But that's what everyone else...
[15:40] Colette
    calls courage!
[15:46] Colette
    I'm going to fight, too.
[15:54] Sion
    You must be joking.
[15:56] Sion
    Stop messing with me.
[16:01] Will; internal
    This monster's defense is impenetrable.
[16:03] Will; internal
    And because it's uncharacteristically
    mobile for its size,
[16:07] Will; internal
    we're barely able to hit it
    in the first place.
[16:09] Will; internal
    It all comes down to those protective wings.
[16:12] Will; internal
    If we want to defeat the grand duke,
    we have no choice but to cut them off!
[16:19] Colette
    Pebble Shot!
[16:20] Will
    Colette?
[16:22] Will; internal
    Lihanna and the others can't fight anymore.
[16:24] Will; internal
    The two of us will have to find a way!
[16:37] Will; internal
    I'm afraid.
[16:38] Will; internal
    My goggles are gone.
[16:41] Will; internal
    I'm so terrified, I can't think straight.
[16:43] Will; internal
    But...
[16:45] Will; internal
    the thought of losing someone
    scares me even more!
[16:49] Will
    Colette!
[17:01] Will; internal
    I don't have Kiki.
[17:03] Will; internal
    A direct hit means instant death.
[17:05] Will; internal
    A one-strike kill.
[17:07] Will; internal
    But this attack...
[17:10] Will; internal
    I've seen it before!
[17:19] Wignall
    Will...
[17:21] Lihanna
    What's that?
[17:24] Colette
    Rumble, o cliffs of steel!
[17:26] Colette
    Crush, o stone fangs of the gorge!
[17:29] Colette; internal
    Will, I'll give you everything I've got!
[17:37] Colette
    Loire Sique: Golterre!
[18:01] Sion
    O ash and embers!
[18:02] Sion
    O lost vestiges of a dead city!
[18:04] Colette
    Sion?
[18:05] Sion
    Recall now the memory of fiery torment
    which burned you to nothingness!
[18:10] Sion
    Remember now the blaze that scorched
    the earth and extinguished you!
[18:14] Sion
    With the sorrowful flames of
     that which will never return...
[18:17] Sion
    Now burn our foes into oblivion!
[18:21] Will
    Sion!
[18:24] Will; internal
    He's attacking using
    his guardian as a shield?
[18:27] Sion
    There isn't anything you can do...
     that I can't!
[18:33] Sion
    Iflamme Burdelyon!
[18:50] Will
    Sion!
[18:54] Colette; internal
    This can't be... That wasn't
    enough to defeat it either?
[18:57] Lihanna; internal
    It took an advanced spell
    at close range, and it still...
[19:00] Wignall; internal
    What a monster!
[19:02] Sion; internal
    A wand isn't enough to beat it.
[19:05] Will; internal
    And a sword can't slay it.
[19:12] Will
    Huh?
[19:14] Will; internal
    This is...
[19:21] Rosty
    Remember, Will.
[19:24] Rosty
    It's wand and sword.
[19:38] (Flashback) Finn
    Are you certain about this?
[19:39] (Flashback) Mercedes
    Stop asking. I've made up my mind.
[19:43] (Flashback) Mercedes
    It's for the sake of protecting this world.
[19:48] (Flashback) Mercedes
    One day, wand and sword...
[19:52] (Flashback) Mercedes
    will meet and join.
[20:00] Will; internal
    Wand and sword...
[20:07] Will
    Sion!

    Magic!
[20:10] Will
    Wand and sword!
[20:17] Sion
    Ignis Rooks!
[20:27] Workner
    Is that...
[20:29] Edward
    It can't be.
[20:33] Workner; Edward
    Wis!
[20:35] Julius
    Wh-What is that?
[20:37] Lihanna
    The sword is wreathed in flame?
[20:40] Lihanna
    An enchantment?
[20:41] Lihanna
    No... it's something else.
[20:43] Wignall
    The sword consumed the spell?
[20:46] Sion
    Laggard, you...
[20:57] Will; narration
    My field of vision was red.
[21:00] Will; narration
    Strength welled up inside me.
[21:02] Will; narration
    It was as if the torrent of power rushing
    through me was prompting me.
[21:05] Will; narration
    Before I knew it, I invoked its name.
[21:09] Will
    Fully charged...
[21:28] Will
    Ignis Wis!
