[00:03] Sion
    There isn't anything you can do...
     that I can't!
[00:09] Sion
    Iflamme Burdelyon!
[00:26] Will
    Sion!
[00:30] Colette; internal
    This can't be... That wasn't
    enough to defeat it either?
[00:33] Lihanna; internal
    It took an advanced spell
    at close range, and it still...
[00:36] Wignall; internal
    What a monster!
[00:39] Sion; internal
    A wand isn't enough to beat it.
[00:42] Will; internal
    And a sword can't slay it.
[00:48] Will
    Huh?
[00:50] Will; internal
    This is...
[00:58] Rosty
    Remember, Will.
[01:00] Rosty
    It's wand and sword.
[01:14] (Flashback) Finn
    Are you certain about this?
[01:16] (Flashback) Mercedes
    Stop asking. I've made up my mind.
[01:20] (Flashback) Mercedes
    It's for the sake of protecting this world.
[01:25] (Flashback) Mercedes
    One day, wand and sword...
[01:28] (Flashback) Mercedes
    will meet and join.
[01:37] Will; internal
    Wand and sword...
[01:44] Will
    Sion!
[01:45] Will
    Magic!
[01:46] Will
    Wand and sword!
[01:53] Sion
    Ignis Rooks!
[02:04] Workner
    Is that...
[02:05] Edward
    It can't be.
[02:10] Workner; Edward
    Wis!
[02:11] Julius
    Wh-What is that?
[02:14] Lihanna
    The sword is wreathed in flame?
[02:16] Lihanna
    An enchantment?
[02:18] Lihanna
    No... it's something else.
[02:19] Wignall
    The sword consumed the spell?
[02:23] Sion
    Laggard, you...
[02:34] Will; narration
    My field of vision was red.
[02:36] Will; narration
    Strength welled up inside me.
[02:38] Will; narration
    It was as if the torrent of power rushing
    through me was prompting me.
[02:41] Will; narration
    Before I knew it, I invoked its name.
[02:45] Will
    Fully charged...
[03:03] Will
    Ignis Wis!
SIGN    Episode 12
    Wand and Sword
[05:18] Will; internal
    The strength... is leaving me.
[05:22] Will; internal
    My sword's going back to normal.
[05:26] Will; internal
    What was that just now?
[05:29] Wignall
    He defeated a Grand Duke.
[05:32] Colette
    Will!
[05:40] Colette
    A horde of Sentinels and Guards?
[05:43] Wignall
    Could they have heard the
    Grand Duke's death throes?
[05:47] Colette
    No way...
[05:49] Coltte; internal
    We don't have any strength left to fight!
[05:53] Sion
    Blast it.
[05:57] Edward
    Hurry, Workner!
[05:59] Julius
    S-Stay away!
[06:02] Workner; internal
    It's no use! We're not going to make it!
[06:05] Will
    Julius!
[06:13] Aaron
    Pass your judgment,
    o sage-king, vanquisher of evil.
[06:19] Aaron
    Loi Eluza!
[06:29] Will; internal
    A high-level annihilation spell?
[06:31] Will; internal
    But who could have cast it?
[06:38] Sion; internal
    That wand... Don't tell me...
[06:45] Workner
    You're...
SIGN    Light Sovereign's Wand
    Aaron Masterias Oldking
[06:49] Edward
    Aaron Masterias Oldking!
[06:56] Will; internal
    The king of the Magia Vander and
    the most powerful of the wands.
[07:01] Will; internal
    What's he doing here?
[07:04] Will; internal
    Gear for deep dungeon delving?
[07:07] Will; internal
    Is he returning from a campaign?
[07:12] Aaron
    Upon those who defy the
     darkness of the dungeon,
[07:16] Aaron
    I have bestowed the blessings of the light.
[07:19] Aaron
    You have fought well,
     children of magic.
[07:29] Colette
    Hooray!
[07:32] Will; narration
    Even elves tremble with elation
    in his presence. All worship him.
[07:39] Will; narration
    And while everyone was fixated
    on the sole sovereign,
[07:44] Will; narration
    my eyes...
[07:46] Will; narration
    were drawn to him*.
[07:54] Finn
    This is a surprise.
[07:57] Finn
    So the sword still lives, does it?
[08:01] Finn
    What's your name?
[08:07] Will
    Will Serfort.
[08:11] Will
    Who are you?
[08:15] Finn
    I'm Finn. Just Finn.
[08:29] Marze
    Moving to collect the goods
    was the right call.
[08:34] Marze
    If we'd gotten attacked, we wouldn't
    have been in any position to retrieve this.
[08:41] Marze
    And I'd rather not run into those guys.
[08:45] Headless; writing
    But we've cleared our mission.
[08:50] Headless; writing
    Now we can hold one hell of a party!
[09:02] Finn; narration
    And so the all-students praxis came*
    to a close in an unprecedented manner.
[09:06] Finn; narration
    There were eleven fatalities,
    all of them academy professors.
[09:11] Finn; narration
    Thanks to the efforts
    of the surviving faculty,
[09:14] Finn; narration
    there were no student casualties.
[09:17] Finn; narration
    The school put out a call for any information
    on the instigators behind the incident,
[09:22] Finn; narration
    but it has yet to produce any leads.
[09:25] Finn; narration
    Though still unable to wipe
    the bad taste from their mouths,
[09:27] Finn; narration
    the survivors begin their respite.
[09:38] Sion
    Who even were that ominous duo, anyway?
[09:43] Wignall
    I've no idea.
[09:44] Wignall
    They're deviants with the strength
    to murder academy professors,
[09:48] Wignall
    but aside from that, we know nothing.
[09:51] Colette
    Professor Bruno and the others...
    I can't believe they're really dead.
[09:56] Will
    Colette....
[09:59] Julius
    If the great Masterias Noah hadn't been there,
[10:02] Julius
    I don't know what would've happened to us.
[10:05] Lihanna
    Still, we're alive.
[10:08] Lihanna
    In the face of such terrifying cruelty,
    we didn't lose a single one of our party.
[10:13] Lihanna
    I wasn't following any chivalric mission.
[10:18] Lihanna
    I put our team together
    to earn recognition from the tower.
[10:21] Lihanna
    And lo and behold,
     it seems I have a very keen eye.
[10:26] Lihanna
    We made a good party.
[10:28] Lihanna
    As the one of the youngest in a long
    line of knights, you have my gratitude.
[10:46] Colette
    Are you hungry, Lihanna?
[10:50] Colette
    Say "ah!"
[10:55] Colette
    Is it good?
[10:57] Lihanna
    Indeed. Another, please.
[11:00] Colette
    Sure thing!
[11:04] Lihanna
    Another.
[11:05] Colette
    Sure thing.
[11:07] Lihanna
    Another.
[11:08] Colette
    You want to eat more?
[11:11] Lihanna
    Another.
[11:12] Colette
    Hang on!
[11:14] Lihanna
    Another.
[11:15] Colette
    How many are you going to eat?!
[11:16] Colette
    There aren't any left for Will now!
[11:18] Colette
    I had no clue you loved food so much!
[11:20] Lihanna
    I-It isn't like that!
[11:22] Lihanna
    The close-combat magic I use
     doesn't just expend magic.
[11:25] Lihanna
    It also takes considerable stamina.
[11:27] Lihanna
    It's only natural that I consume
     more energy than most mages.
[11:30] Lihanna
    So, you see, I am no glutton.
     I hope you don't get the wrong idea.
[11:35] Lihanna
    I'm not lying. Honestly.
[11:41] Lihanna
    It really is the truth.
[11:42] Colette
    Even if you say it cutely,
    it remains entirely unconvincing!
[11:45] Colette
    You're just a regular
    starving knight, aren't you?!
[11:48] Lihanna
    I-I'm not! You're wrong!
[11:50] Sion
    So this is what Miss Perfect is really like?
[11:53] Wignall
    Yes. The first time I saw her stuffing
    herself, I was surprised as well.
[11:59] Will
    I tend to be a big eater too, but I think
    Lihanna may be even more impressive.
[12:03] Colette
    Oh, honestly!
     This is the last one, you hear me?
[12:08] Lihanna
    Returning to the matter at hand,
     in the midst of that battle, Will...
[12:12] Lihanna
    If not for your judgment and bravery,
[12:15] Lihanna
    it's likely none of us would have survived.
[12:17] Will
    Th-That's not true!
[12:20] Will
    It was thanks to all of us joining forces.
[12:22] Will
    That's what got us through.
[12:24] Will
    I didn't do anything special.
[12:25] Julius
    That's right! We all nearly died at
    one point because of that laggard!
[12:30] Julius
    Something about being
    so scared he was shaking!
[12:33] Julius
    Not to mention devising a plan
    around me bearing the brunt of it!
[12:37] Julius
    Can you be more brazen—
[12:38] Colette
    Enough already!
[12:39] Colette
    Eat this and stop talking!
[12:42] Julius
    S-Stop! Don't do this right now!
    I'll die! I'm gonna die!
[12:46] Sion
    More importantly, laggard...
[12:49] Sion
    That power that ate my magic...
    What was it?
[12:54] Colette
    Yeah, that was incredible.
[12:56] Colette
    It was so brilliant and strong,
    it took my breath away.
[13:00] Wignall
    It appeared to take in the spell somehow.
[13:03] Lihanna
    It wasn't an enchantment.
[13:06] Lihanna
    It isn't even clear whether
    we should call it magic or not.
[13:12] Julius
    Th-That's right!
[13:14] Julius
    If you had power like that,
    you should have told us!
[13:16] Julius
    It really is your fault that
    we were in so much danger!
[13:20] Julius
    Stop this! Cease, familiar! Don't scratch me!
[13:24] Sion
    Answer us, laggard.
[13:30] Will
    I don't understand what it was myself.
[13:33] Will
    My mind went blank.
[13:36] Will
    And then...
[13:42] Colette
    Perhaps Professor Workner and
    the others might know something.
[13:46] Lihanna
    It's probably best to ask them to find out
     what that phenomenon was.
[13:51] Lihanna
    I have the feeling it was something special.
[13:54] Will
    Special?
[13:57] Will
    Say, there was a young boy
     among that expedition team.
[14:03] Will
    Do you know who he was?
[14:05] Wignall
    A young boy?
[14:07] Wignall
    Oh, you mean that supporter?
[14:11] Lihanna
    He must be part of the Finn Tribe.
[14:14] Will
    The Finn Tribe?
[14:17] Lihanna
    I've read about them in the documents
    that the Owenzauses possess.
[14:22] Lihanna
    Though their kind can't use magic,
    over many generations,
[14:26] Lihanna
    the little people have gained
    extensive knowledge of the dungeon.
[14:29] Lihanna
    They've had a contract with the tower
    since the age of the Mage Queen.
[14:33] Lihanna
    They aid us as guides, helping to cover
    new ground in the labyrinthine dungeon.
[14:36] Lihanna
    It's said that without their help,
    we couldn't reach the deeper floors.
[14:44] Will; internal
    The guides of the labyrinth...
[14:46] Will; internal
    The Finn Tribe.
[14:50] Will; internal
    Of course I'm curious about the power
    that felled the Grand Duke.
[14:53] Will; internal
    But I'm also curious about the feeling
    I got when I met that boy.

    A member of the People of the Light, who serve 
    as guides in the dungeon. Has a direct relationship 
    with both the academy and the five supreme wands,
     the Magia Vander. Whether "Finn" is his real name
    or a title  passed down through his people is completely
     unknown. The Light Sovereign's Wand has been heard 
    to say, "No 7-year-old child is anything like you."
[15:14] Finn
    Hey there, Caldron.
SIGN    Finn
[15:16] Finn
    I'm back.
[15:18] Caldron
    It's been quite a while, Finn.
SIGN    Rigarden Magical Academy Headmaster
    Caldron Anouve
[15:21] Caldron
    Another long expedition this time, was it?
[15:24] Caldron
    How far did you reach?
[15:27] Finn
    Floor 49.
[15:29] Finn
    That Aaron is rough taskmaster.
[15:33] Finn
    And to get right to it...
[15:35] Finn
    Here. I brought you back a present.
[15:38] Caldron
    Is this the weapon from the report,
     the mage slayer?
[15:43] Finn
    Yes.
[15:44] Finn
    We ran into an unsavory group on
     floor 40 and immediately clashed.
[15:48] Finn
    They killed around twenty of
     the expedition's high mages.
[15:54] Finn
    We couldn't afford to hold back,
     so we took care of them, but...
[15:57] Finn
    I'm willing to wager that mage slayer
    wasn't created by the dungeon naturally.
[16:04] Finn
    They're most likely experimenting down there.
[16:08] Caldron
    They begin by collecting
     materials deep in the dungeon,
[16:11] Caldron
    then, by combining different pieces, they
    created this weapon. Is that what you mean?
[16:19] Finn
    Aaron has ordered me to go back
     into the dungeon to investigate.
[16:23] Finn
    I'll leave analyzing that thing to you.
[16:26] Caldron
    Sorry to ask so much of you.
[16:29] Finn
    I don't mind. Some bad guys seem
    to be making moves in the shadows,
[16:34] Finn
    so I hope you'll all be careful, too.
[16:37] Finn
    Now, to get down to business...
[16:41] Finn
    Caldron, why didn't you tell me
    anything about that boy?
[16:47] Finn
    Your lot looks after the wands.
[16:49] Finn
    Swords are supposed to be my territory.
[16:54] Caldron
    Will is a student of my academy.
[16:58] Caldron
    More importantly, he yearns for a wand.
[17:01] Caldron
    He intends to ascend the tower
    to become a Magia Vander.
[17:20] Finn
    I've never heard of a sword
    aiming to become a wand.
[17:24] Caldron
    Indeed. It is unprecedented.
[17:27] Caldron
    But perhaps it's just the thing to yield an
     explosion unlike anything we've ever seen.
[17:33] Finn
    You witch.
[17:34] Finn
    Not that I particularly dislike
    this sort of game.
[17:38] Finn
    Very well.
[17:40] Finn
    I'll entrust him to all of you
    for a little while longer.
[17:43] Finn
    But I will be sticking my nose in from now on.
[17:48] Caldron
    Yes, feel free to do so.
[17:50] Caldron
    This is all for the sake of
     surpassing the heavens.
[18:02] Colette
    I do despair sometimes.
[18:04] Colette
    We're all injured to some degree or other.
[18:06] Colette
    How are you the only one up and about?
[18:10] Will
    For some reason,
    I couldn't stand just sitting around.
[18:15] Will
    There's so much I don't understand.
[18:17] Will
    But I have to keep moving forward.
[18:21] Will
    After all, there's a place I want to reach.
[18:25] Julius
    Seriously, what is his body made of?
[18:30] Julius
    He can't be a mage. He's probably
    a dwarf on the inside or something.
[18:34] Wignall
    I wish you wouldn't lump a friend of the elves
    in with barbarians like the dwarfs.
[18:38] Wignall
    He is a warrior deserving of respect.
[18:42] Lihanna
    If nothing else, his simple honesty
    and earnestness may be his strength.
[18:53] Sion
    Laggard!
[18:55] Sion
    Fight me!
[18:57] Will
    What?
[19:02] Colette
    What are you on about, Sion?
[19:04] Colette
    With the state you're in,
     you couldn't possibly!
[19:07] Sion
    If he can do this, then so can I.
[19:11] Will
    S-Sion, you shouldn't push yourself.
[19:14] Will
    Besides, even if you suddenly challenge me...
[19:17] Sion
    You said it.
[19:18] Will
    Huh?
[19:20] Sion
    Back at the Grand Magic Festival,
[19:22] Sion
    you said, "Let's have a real
    fight next time." Didn't you?!
[19:27] Sion
    Keep your promise!
[19:29] Sion
    Take a good look!
[19:31] Sion
    A guy who can't beat me
    will never make it to the tower!
[19:36] Will
    All right.
[19:38] Will
    Let's do this, Sion!
[19:40] Will
    We'll continue what we started back then!
[19:42] Colette
    Wait! Will! Sion!
[19:45] Colette
    Honestly!
[19:46] Sion
    Here it comes!
[19:50] Will
    Right!
[21:15] Workner
    Regarding the incident at the
    all-student praxis two months ago...
[21:18] Workner
    I'm sure some of you still haven't
    come to terms with what happened.
[21:21] Workner
    Still, we cannot allow you
    to stand idle and grow stagnant.
[21:27] Will; internal
    After that, I've done
    everything I possibly could.
[21:31] Workner
    The school year is once again
    coming to a close.
[21:36] Workner
    For you sixth-years,
     these are truly your final exams.
[21:40] Will; internal
    I'll get to see her soon.
[21:42] Workner
    We shall now commence the
    first day of your graduation exams!
[21:46] Workner
    Begin!

    I'll see Elfie!
