[01:13] student D
    What's going on? Did the Earth Princess
    not enter Magic Craft this year?
[01:20] Caldron
    The scouts mixed in among the packed
    audience have their eyes gleaming.
[01:26] Caldron
    The tower certainly works quickly.
[01:28] Iris
    That's because mages from outside
    the tower come during the festival.
[01:31] Iris
    The competition to scout the academy's

[01:58] Iris
    Yes, I have work I must tend to.

    Also...
[02:05] Iris
    I have a certain

[02:10] Lyril
    Do your best in the Crown Attack, Sion!
[02:13] Gordon
    We couldn't enter, but we're rooting for you!
[02:15] Sion
    Of course.
[02:16] Sion
    I can't let down a lady in need, after all.
[02:23] (Flashback) Colette
    Um, Sion...
[02:25] (Flashback) Colette
    I hate to ask anything of you,
    but you're the only one I can count on!
[02:29] (Flashback) Colette
    Would you join our team?
[02:32] Colette; echo
    ...join our team? ...join our team?
[02:33] Sion; internal
    Silly Colette has finally realized
    she needs someone to work alongside!
[02:38] Sion; internal
    And between me and that laggard,
    I'm the obvious choice!
[02:44] Sion
    Wait, what is the laggard doing here?!
[02:47] Colette
    Oh, Sion. I did ask you
    to join our team, didn't I?
[02:52] Colette
    In order to participate in the Crown Attack,
SIGN    Colette Loire
    7,340 credits
[02:54] Colette
    your team must have at least
    21,000 combined credits.
SIGN    Sion Ulster

[02:57] Colette
    So for Will to compete,
    our only option was inviting you.
SIGN    Will Serfort
    5,405 credits
[03:01] Will
    Sorry for dragging you into this.
[03:05] Sion
    This isn't funny! Why should
    I help you, no-talent?!
[03:09] Sion
    Why are you trying to enter an
     upper-level event in the first place?!
[03:12] Sion
    Hey, laggard! Say something!
[03:23] Sion; internal
    He isn't looking at me.
[03:31] Colette
    Something apparently went down between them.
[03:34] Colette
    Julius entered the Crown Attack, and Will said
    he'd do the same no matter what it takes.
[03:38] Sion; internal
    He's ignoring me?
[03:40] Sion; internal
    After humiliating me like that,
    he's looking right past me?
SIGN    Episode 5
    Raise the Starting Pistol
[05:24] Mike
    This marks the start of the
     Magic Festival's afternoon events!
[05:29] Mike
    We'll have more play-by-plays
    provided by yours truly, Mike Maius!
SIGN    Rigarden Magical Academy Student, Sixth Year
    Mike Maius
[05:33] Mike
    And for commentary...
[05:34] Mike
    we have the number one
    most hated professor!
[05:37] Mike
    He's sly and sinister!
[05:39] Mike
    The students are always imagining this
    dark viper whipping their butts with his wand!
[05:44] Mike
    Amid cries of "give back my credits,"
    I give you Professor Edward Serfence!
SIGN    Rigarden Magical Academy Professor
    Edward Serfence
[05:48] Mike
    All right! Who chose the
    commentator for this?!
[05:51] Mike
    How am I supposed to give my
    play-by-plays next to a snake, huh?
[05:54] Edward
    Maius, have a coffin ready next class.
[05:58] Mike
    I'm sorry. Please don't kill me.
[06:01] Mike
    I-I'll just pull myself together and...
[06:03] Mike
    Next up, we have today's
    main event: the Crown Attack!
[06:07] Mike
    Members of the elf faction, take it away!
[06:11] elf faction A
    So long ago and far away,
    beyond dreams and reverie...
[06:15] elf faction B
    An illusion appears here,
    returning our homeland to us.
[06:25] elf faction C
    Our blood whispers. Our ears know.
    Your image forms on the backs of our eyelids.
[06:29] elf faction C
    Our noble, precious paradise!

    Establishing domain.
[06:47] Lefiya
    Flowers, bloom!
[06:49] elves
    Magnaturas Ringhul!
[07:00] Mike
    The volcano zone,
[07:02] Mike
    the marshland zone,
[07:04] Mike
    the badlands zone,
[07:06] Mike
    the grassland zone,
[07:08] Mike
    and the woodland zone.
[07:10] Mike
    Anything goes in this diverse playing field
    created by the elves' grand conjuration!
[07:16] Mike
    Unlike the other events, this is a team
    competition held between three-man cells.
[07:20] Mike
    Teams start at the outer edge of the field and
    make their way here to the central stadium.
[07:26] Mike
    As you can all see here at the
    center of the stadium,
[07:29] Mike
    we have a crown!
    The first team to take it wins!
[07:33] Mike
    But of course, there will be more than
    just the forces of nature in their way.
[07:37] Mike
    Our elite professors have arranged a
     veritable mountain of traps for them!
[07:43] Mike
    Smashing straight through the shortest
    path to the stadium is allowed.
SIGN    Rigarden Magical Academy Professor
    Bruno Marcus
SIGN    Rigarden Magical Academy Professor
    Eliza Nosferat
[07:47] Mike
    Obstructing other teams is also allowed!
[07:49] Mike
    Of all the events at the Grand Magic Festival,
    this one is the most brutal and heated!
[07:53] Mike
    It's bound to become a battle royale!
[07:56] Edward
    The efficiency of the three-man cells,
    how they deal with irregularities...
[08:00] Edward
    This event is a practical demonstration
    created with dungeon raids in mind.
[08:04] Edward
    The scouts' interest is keen,
    and the students participating are excellent—
[08:09] Mike
    Exactly!
[08:10] Mike
    The real thrill of this event is seeing
    brilliant students in high-level battles!
[08:16] Mike
    I can't say this too loudly,
    but in the unofficial, secret gambling halls,
[08:20] Mike
    Squad 12, led by Wignall Lindor,
[08:23] Mike
    and Squad 9, led by Julius Reinberg,
    are the most popular!
[08:28] Mike
    In case you're wondering,
    I put all my money on Wignall!
[08:32] Edward
    What was that?
[08:33] Mike
    And now...
[08:33] Edward
    Hey!
[08:34] Mike
    Worthy of note for altogether different
     reasons is the least popular team, Squad 6!
[08:38] Mike
    Entered alongside Sion,
    a contender for the win, is the no-talent!
[08:44] Palm
    What is that guy thinking,
    entering the Crown Attack?
[08:48] Flip
    Would you quit bringing shame
    on the academy, laggard?!
[08:53] Rosty
    Will...
[08:57] Workner
    Squads in the badlands zone, on your marks!
[09:00] Squad 4; 5
    Yes, sir!
[09:05] Workner
    Wha—
[09:07] Workner
    Will?!
[09:09] Workner
    Don't tell me you intend to participate!
[09:11] Workner
    How many times have I told you not
     to get involved in the Magic Festival?
[09:17] Will
    I'm sorry, Professor Workner.
[09:20] Will
    Even if it makes me a laughingstock,
    this is one bout I want to win.
[09:28] Workner
    H-Hey!
[09:29] Colette
    Will!
[09:34] Workner
    Seriously? Whatever happens,
    don't say I didn't warn you.
[09:39] Mike
    We've kept you all waiting long enough!
[09:43] Mike
    Now, at last, the Crown Attack...
[09:49] Mike
    begins!
[09:56] Lunice
    Is that a stone circle?
[09:58] Julius
    No.
[10:11] Mike
    And right away, our competitors find
     themselves staring down the golem thicket!
[10:16] Mike
    Countless golems loom in this
     truly large-scale obstacle!
[10:20] Mike
    Will they be able to make it through?
[10:23] Mike
    Huh?
[10:24] Mike
    What's this?! Will from Squad 6
     is charging forward!
[10:28] Palm
    A one-man suicide attack?
[10:29] Flip
    No way can the no-talent beat them.
[10:31] Flip
    In the praxis exercise,
    he couldn't even put a scratch on one!
[10:35] Will
    Colette, if you would!
[10:43] Colette
    Dwell here, droplets of earth.
[10:46] Colette
    Defend here, lands of iron.
[10:49] Colette
    Loire Sique...
[10:52] Colette
    Goltlet!
[11:18] Mike
    Wha...
[11:19] Mike
    What was that?!
[11:23] Workner
    I was afraid this would happen.
[11:27] Colette
    Even if he can't use magic,
    so long as he attacks with a magical gauntlet,
[11:31] Colette
    we're not breaking the rules, right?
[11:37] Mike
    I don't believe it! What just happened?
[11:40] Mike
    The first one to break through
    the golem thicket is...
[11:43] Mike
    the book learner!

    To be saved by a guy like him... I'd rather

[12:38] Sion; internal
    Which is why I've struggled so
    desperately to do all I could.
[12:42] Sion; internal
    Tried to build up every

[12:48] Sion; internal

    You can't be serious!
[12:56] Mike

[13:01] Mike
    Seizing the crown in the stadium is the

    They're fast, fast, fast!
[14:37] Mike
    Seriously, what have we here?!
[14:41] Palm; internal
    Don't tell me that laggard is actually...
[14:44] Flip
    C-Colette's magic is just amazing!
     That's all it is!

    Please, do your best!
[15:13] Mike
    The top team is Will's Squad 6!
[15:19] Squad 8 member A
    Blast it! We can't fall behind the laggard!
[15:24] Squad 8 member A
    Hey! Are you all right?
[15:32] Mike
    Every team is hustling, but the
     traps are triggering mercilessly!
[15:37] Mike
    This year is as brutal as ever!
[15:39] Mike
    Will's Squad 6 remains in the lead!
[15:43] Mike
    Could the no-talent really be the
    first one to reach the stadium?!
[15:50] Julius; internal
    There's a clamor coming from the stadium.
    Has there been some kind of upset?
[15:58] Julius
    Hey!
[15:59] Julius
    What's the situation?
[16:02] Jolua
    From what we can see with Search,
    the no-talent's squad seems to be in the lead.
[16:07] Lunice
    This is bad, Julius!
[16:09] Lunice
    At this rate, that laggard really will...
[16:13] Julius
    That won't be a problem.
[16:15] Julius
    I'll go.
[16:24] Mike
    At last, Squad 6 has reached the
    final area: the enchanted woods!
[16:37] Will; internal
    A chain circle trap?
[16:40] Will; internal
    In that case...
[16:46] Will; internal
    I'll make them cancel each other out!

    What do you make of this situation,

    as the person who set up this vicious
    dark magic minefield, Professor Edward?
[17:14] Mike
    He just clicked his tongue!
[17:21] Will; internal
    Given how the Crown Attack works,
[17:23] Will; internal
    we're more likely to encounter other squads
    the closer we get to the stadium.
[17:26] Will; internal
    The real fight between squads
    starts here, in this sea of trees.
[17:30] Will; internal
    We'll run ahead and set up an ambush!
[17:38] Will; internal
    We'll secure advantageous terrain
    and wait for Julius!
[17:51] Colette
    Will, are you all right?!
[17:53] Will
    Y-Yeah!
[18:01] Colette
    It can't be! He got here before us?
[18:05] Will; internal
    No way. He beat Colette's and my
    magic-and-run strategy?
[18:10] Will; internal
    Is Julius alone? Are his two teammates
    hiding somewhere?
[18:13] Will; internal
    He managed to get ahead of us*?
[18:15] Julius
    Scatter.
[18:33] Will; internal
    Stop thinking about that and change gears!
[18:39] Will; internal
    Confront him right here!

    O lost vestiges of a dead city...

    Sion?

    Recall now the memory of that fiery torment
    that burned you to nothingness!
[19:09] Sion
    Remember now the blaze that scorched
    the earth and extinguished you!
[19:14] Sion
    With the sorrowful flames of
    that which will never return.
[19:16] Colette
    Will, run!
[19:17] Sion
    Now burn our foes into oblivion!
[19:25] Sion
    Iflamme Burdelyon!
[19:48] Mike
    Where'd this shock wave come from?!
[19:59] Will; internal
    What just happened?
[20:01] Will; internal
    Did I get hit?
[20:07] Will; internal
    The sea of trees is...
[20:13] Sion
    Leave, Julius. You're in the way.
[20:18] Colette; internal
    He was aiming for Julius...
[20:20] Colette; internal
    No, Julius and Will.
[20:25] Colette
    What are you thinking, Sion?!
[20:26] Sion
    I've stayed quiet and played your game
     up until now, haven't I, Colette?
[20:31] Sion
    So now I demand my due.
[20:34] Sion
    Fight me, laggard.
[20:39] Will; internal
    What is he talking about?
[20:43] Will
    Here? Now? You and me, Sion?
[20:45] Will
    Why?
[20:50] Sion
    You're an offense to the ears and eyes!
    I don't need a reason to crush you!
[20:57] Colette; internal
    Where is this coming from?
[20:58] Colette
    Stop, Sion!
[21:08] Colette; internal
    Julius?
[21:10] Colette; internal
    It can't be! How did he escape*
    that bombardment?
[21:13] Julius
    Ice over.
[21:16] Will
    Colette!
[21:27] Will
    Sion, please stop this!
    This is no time to be fighting each other!
