[00:01] Logwell
A celebration of the all-student praxis
is being held again this year, Lord Cariot.
[00:06] Cariot
There is no need to report
every little detail to me, Logwell.
[00:10] Cariot
Temporary though it may be, representing
the Wands doesn't suit me at all.
[00:14] Logwell
Lightning is self-indulgent, the elves
are arrogant, and ice is indolent.
[00:20] Logwell
There is no one more suited than you,
the Flame Emperor's Wand, Incindia Barham.
SIGN Flame Emperor's Wand

[00:29] Cariot
Has our Light Sovereign not yet returned?
SIGN Fire Faction Aide-de-Camp
Logwell
[00:33] Logwell
Still on campaign, I'm afraid.
[00:36] Cariot
Honestly... All when the barrier
seems about to fall, no less.
[00:44] Edward
And now, the all-student praxis begins!
[00:57] Will
I'll achieve real results here and
make my way to see Elfie!
[01:01] Lihanna
Wignall, I'm counting on you.
[01:03] Will
What?
[01:05] Wignall
Mellvent.
[01:19] Wignall
Let us be on our way.
[01:21] Colette
Are you all right?
[01:22] Will
Ow, ow...
[01:26] Will
That's a Crimson Ant!
[01:31] Will
A whole swarm of them
appeared out of nowhere!
[01:33] Will
Mages are weak in melee.
As their vanguard, I have to be their shield!
[01:38] Wignall
Don't concern yourself.
[01:39] Will
What?
[01:40] Wignall
Lihanna Owenzaus...
[01:43] Wignall
Are you unaware of her family's reputation?
[01:51] Lihanna
Whicker, lightning sprite,
[01:53] Lihanna
and accompany my mission.
[01:56] Lihanna
Owen Sique...
[01:59] Lihanna
Lisolde Dua!
[02:02] Will
An enchantment?
[02:04] Wignall
The Owenzauses are a line of knights.
[02:07] Wignall
Lihanna is rare among mages.
She specializes in close quarters combat.
[02:17] Lihanna
Competing for credits
would be too much of a bother.
[02:20] Lihanna
We must advance faster than any other party.
[02:23] Lihanna
Let's keep moving.
SIGN Episode 9
Praxis Begins
[03:56] (Flashback) Workner
Do you know what magic is most
vital in the dungeon, Will?
[04:01] (Flashback) Workner
Attack magic? Defensive magic? No.
[04:06] (Flashback) Workner
The answer is Search,
[04:08] (Flashback) Workner
a common spell that detects
enemies and abnormalities.
[04:13] (Flashback) Workner
It is indispensable for mages
traversing the dungeon.
[04:16] (Flashback) Workner
It is the basis of all basics.
[04:25] Julius
You're in the way, laggard!
[04:28] Will
I can't sense enemies fast enough!
[04:29] Will
No, Julius and the others
are using Search magic
[04:32] Will
to perceive a larger area
than my senses can.
[04:35] Will
At this rate, they'll clean up all of
the monsters before I can intercept any.
[04:41] Will
I finally got one!
[04:42] Wignall
Zephros Claw.
[04:49] Will
H-He wiped them all out in one go?
[04:53] Wignall
You're more of a burden
than I thought you'd be.
[04:56] Wignall
You haven't even fulfilled
your role as a shield.
[04:59] Wignall
Perhaps this means I should be
questioning your judgment, Lihanna.
[05:05] Lihanna
To be precise, he simply hasn't
had time to act as a shield.
[05:08] Lihanna
He will show his true strength
against over-five enemies.
[05:12] Lihanna
Probably.
SIGN "Probably"
[05:14] Lihanna
So it's all right if he's
a burden at the moment.
[05:16] Lihanna
Probably.
SIGN "Probably"
[05:18] Lihanna
I'm sure he's strong.
[05:19] Lihanna
Probably.
[05:21] Julius
I told you, didn't I?
[05:23] Julius
Someone who can't even
use Search will only hold us back.
[05:29] Will
Mages use their wands
to absorb the magic traces
[05:33] Will
that issue from fallen monsters.
[05:35] Will
In this way, their wands serve as a record.
[05:38] Will
The academy can check the number
of targets a student has defeated.
[05:44] Colette
Hang on a second!
[05:45] Colette
We haven't finished collecting the drops!
[05:48] Wignall
There's no point in hauling drops
of hardly any value, is there?
[05:52] Will
Sorry! I'm good to go now.
[05:55] Will
That's why, with no way
to absorb traces of magic,
[05:59] Will
I have to lug back monster remains
in order to earn my credits,
[06:02] Will
much to the chagrin of the rest of my party.
[06:05] Sion
Since you've joined up with us,
try not to disgrace us, laggard.
[06:10] Colette
Will, are you all right?
[06:13] Will
I knew it'd be like this from the outset.
[06:17] Will
I'm going to do my best to be
helpful to them at some point.
[06:22] Will
I say that, but...
[06:28] Will
There's nothing I can do!
[06:31] Will
I knew that! I knew it, but still!
[06:34] Will
Everyone is so skilled,
there's no time for me to cut in.
[06:37] Will
At this rate, I'm nothing
more than a pack mule.
[06:43] Lihanna
It's already been a day since
the all-student praxis began.
[06:46] Lihanna
I'd like to take short rest soon.
[06:48] Julius
In a place like this?
[06:50] Julius
I'm not asking for a first-rate inn,
[06:52] Julius
but I'd like to feel safe enough
that I can actually relax.
[06:56] Wignall
Then perhaps we need a fortress of flame.
[06:59] Wignall
Nardrea.
[07:04] Colette
Incredible. Is this elven illusion magic?
[07:08] Will
Yeah, looks like it.
[07:09] Will
The flames themselves are illusory,
[07:13] Will
but the monsters are wary of the sight
of flames springing out of nowhere.
[07:17] Will
They won't come near.
[07:19] Lihanna
Serfort.
[07:21] Lihanna
Please distribute the rations
I gave you before.
[07:24] Will
Oh, sure.
[07:27] Will
Here's yours, Julius.
[07:29] Will
And yours, Sion.
[07:32] Will
Wignall, this is for you.
[07:33] Wignall
Don't come any closer.
Leave it on the ground.
[07:36] Will
What?
[07:37] Wignall
Elves only allow those they deem
worthy to touch them.
[07:41] Wignall
I don't want to accidentally touch you.
[07:43] Colette
Hey! We're all in the same party, aren't we?
Why would you say something like that?
[07:47] Wignall
You are all mages, and I am an elf.
[07:51] Wignall
Leave it at that.
[07:52] Wignall
The only person in this party
I deem worthy is Lihanna.
[07:58] Will
Colette, let's not fight.
[08:00] Colette
But...
[08:01] Will
It's fine. Elven culture and
customs differ from ours.
[08:05] Will
I'm all right.
[08:08] Will
Elves...
[08:09] Will
Like dwarves, they come from another world.
[08:13] Will
They are magic users,
a gifted and highly revered race.
[08:18] Will
They value their own kind over
others and can be insufferable,
[08:22] Will
but their talents surpass most mages.
[08:26] Will
At the head of one of the Magia Vander
factions is none other than...
[08:30] Will
the elven queen.
[08:37] Lihanna
I will now go over our next steps.
[08:43] Lihanna
Our priority target is the Luminous Naberus.
[08:47] Lihanna
It's worth 110 credits and there is only one,
[08:51] Lihanna
so we will be slaying
the floor keeper of floor 10.
[08:53] Colette
A hundred and ten? That's the highest
credit count in this praxis!
[08:57] Julius
It's common knowledge that anyone
who challenges it pays the price.
[09:01] Julius
It is, without a doubt,
the final boss of the all-student praxis.
[09:04] Lihanna
You could say that I built this party
for the purpose of slaying the Naberus.
[09:10] Lihanna
We have the skills to fell
a 110-credit monster.
[09:14] Lihanna
I will demonstrate that to the tower.
[09:16] Wignall
Well, this ship has already left port.
I have no intention of abandoning it midway.
[09:20] Wignall
But are we going to ignore the appetizers
and go straight for the main dish?
[09:26] Lihanna
I want to challenge it in top form
with our magic reserves intact.
[09:29] Lihanna
We can get the other monsters later.
[09:32] Lihanna
If there are no objections,
we'll take shortest route to floor 10.
[09:37] Will
All I've managed today
is a measly five credits.
[09:41] Will
That's not good enough.
[09:43] Will
Slaying a floor keeper...
[09:45] Will
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared, but...
[09:48] Will
I'm going, Elfie.
[09:55] Marze
Hey, what're you doing, Headless?
[09:58] Marze
You go and slaughter the guys upstairs?
[10:05] Headless
I was getting sick of things.
[10:07] Marze
Huh?
[10:08] Headless
So I went and gave them a taste of hell.
[10:23] Julius
What is all this?
[10:25] Julius
There are monster corpses
scattered all around.
[10:30] Julius
Is this the work of another party?
SIGN Dungeon, Floor 10
[10:32] Wignall
No, that isn't possible.
[10:35] Sion
We took the shortest route here,
even skipping the base camps.
[10:39] Sion
There couldn't be any students
who've gotten so far ahead of us.
[10:44] Colette
What are you doing, Will?
[10:47] Will
There's no evidence of magic here.
[10:50] Will
It was ripped apart
with brute strength alone.
[10:53] Lihanna
The chamber where the
Naberus appears is up ahead.
[11:08] Will
The dungeon is so quiet it feels fake.
[11:13] Will
Don't tell me...
[11:19] Lihanna
Everyone, Search!
[11:22] Colette
What's going on?
[11:24] Wignall
Its magic traces haven't fully dissipated.
[11:25] Lihanna
It was only just killed.
[11:27] Sion
The floor keeper's been slaughtered?
[11:29] Julius
Who could have done this?
[11:32] (Flashback) Workner
Search is an all-purpose spell,
[11:34] (Flashback) Workner
but it isn't all-powerful.
[11:36] (Flashback) Workner
It's difficult to detect clever traps with it.
[11:39] (Flashback) Workner
Mages can use Hide
to cloak themselves from it.
[11:43] (Flashback) Workner
And there's a type of monster
capable of evading Search magic.
[12:01] Will
Everyone!
[12:02] Will
Heads up!
[12:07] Colette
Will!
[12:12] Wignall
What's the meaning of this?
[12:19] Will
Wignall!
[12:25] Sion
Crims...
[12:26] Julius
Glace...
[12:26] Colette
Stear...
[12:27] Lihanna
Sagius...
[12:51] student; male
What causing this jolt?
[12:55] Rosty
Will...
[13:07] Will
I-I'm sorry!
[13:10] Will
His arm!
[13:14] Will
This is even further below floor 10.
[13:17] Will
We're outside academy territory.
[13:20] Julius
Floor 11?!
[13:22] Sion
You saw it yourself! We fell to the next floor!
[13:26] Julius
You must be joking. You can't be serious!
[13:29] Julius
Floors 11 downward are tower territory.
[13:31] Julius
Only high mages are allowed to set foot
down in this treacherous place!
[13:40] Lihanna
The Nightmare's Maw.
[13:43] Lihanna
This vast region stretches
all the way to floor 15.
[13:46] Lihanna
The complexity of its structure
and strength of its monsters...
[13:49] Lihanna
are on another level
from all the previous floors.
[13:52] Colette
Lihanna, you're bleeding!
[13:54] Lihanna
It's not serious.
[13:56] Lihanna
A rock merely struck me
during the collapse.
[13:59] Lihanna
We seem to be the only two around.
[14:02] Lihanna
Getting separated on floor 11
will prove fatal.
[14:06] Lihanna
If we don't reunite with others,
and fast, the dungeon will eat us alive.
[14:11] Lihanna
All of us, including your friend Serfort.

An elf who hails from Alfswood, far to the north.
Came to the capital of magic, Urbus Rigarden, to study.
He holds fast to elven customs and does not allow
anyone he does not deem worthy to touch him.
Shares the same dream as a certain no-talent.
[14:28] elf; female
Living in obscurity at some
academy for mere mages...
[14:32] elf; male
You can't even manage illusions
with any real skill.
[14:36] elf; male 2
Have you no shame?!
[14:40] Ellenor
You are a disgrace to our people.
I have no need of you.
[14:45] Wignall; 20 yo
Wait. Wait!
[14:47] Ellenor
That talentless arm...
[14:49] Wignall; 20 yo
Ellenor!
[14:50] Ellenor
Surely you have no need of it.
[15:04] Wignall
Wh-Where am I?
[15:06] Will
I'm so glad you're awake!
[15:08] Will; background
I'm sorry I couldn't treat you right away.
[15:08] Wignall
This monster...
Don't tell me he did that alone.
[15:10] Will; background
I'll give you first aid now.
[15:13] Wignall
Don't touch me!
[15:16] Wignall
I am an elf.
[15:19] Wignall
Don't touch me, you no-talent!
[15:21] Will
Even if it means you'll hate me all my life
and one day come to kill me,
[15:25] Will
I can't just leave you like this.
[15:27] Will
Please allow me to treat your arm.
[15:30] Wignall
I can perform emergency first aid on myself.
[15:33] Wignall
Hand over the supplies!
[15:40] Will
Wignall is injured.
[15:43] Will
Aside from our medical supplies,
we've lost nearly all of our gear.
[15:47] Will
We have a total of three sub-weapons,
including Rosty's magic items.
[15:52] Will
We each have our own food and water.
[15:55] Will
Colette and the others should
be set with their own too,
[15:58] Will
so we can last two days.
[16:00] Will
No, given the extreme conditions
of floor 11, make it one day.
[16:06] Will
Our time limit is 24 hours.
That's all we've got.
[16:12] Will
Wignall.
[16:14] Will
I want to prioritize finding
Colette and the others.
[16:17] Will
That means walking around the dungeon.
Can you manage that?
[16:20] Wignall
When stranded in the dungeon,
the best practice is to wait for rescue.
[16:25] Will
If we don't act, we'll die.
[16:28] Will
That's my understanding of the dungeon.
[16:31] Will
Besides...
[16:33] Will
With that monster on floor 10,
[16:36] Will
any rescue would take a while.
[16:40] Workner
What's going on, Professor Eliza?
[16:49] Eliza
It's a stampede, Workner.
SIGN Dungeon, Floor 8
Base Camp
[16:51] Eliza
The rush of monsters
has destroyed our base camp.
[16:55] Workner
Destroyed it?! What of Bruno and the others?
[17:02] Eliza
They've been killed.
Something twisted their heads off.
[17:09] Eliza
All of our handheld mazers have been wrecked.
[17:12] Eliza
We don't know the situation
on floor 9 and below,
[17:15] Eliza
but I'd wager they've fallen into
the same chaos as here on floor 8.
[17:21] Workner
Not only was there a monster stampede,
[17:23] Workner
but academy professors have been killed?
[17:25] Workner
That can't be a coincidence.
[17:27] Workner
Was this some scheme?
[17:30] Workner
What is going on here?
[17:32] Edward
Workner! The all-student praxis is canceled!
[17:35] Workner
Professor Edward!
[17:37] Edward
These anomalies are jeopardizing the students!
[17:39] Edward
We're going in!
[17:41] Workner
R-Right!
[18:03] Will
Wignall, you should probably
refrain from using Search.
[18:07] Will
It's only common magic, but use it
too much and you'll exhaust yourself.
[18:11] Will
Prioritize saving your magic and—
[18:13] Wignall
Shut up!
[18:14] Wignall
What'll you do if we're
ambushed like that again?!
[18:17] Wignall
This is floor 11, you know?
There's no telling what may happen!
[18:21] Wignall
How can you be so cavalier
in such a dangerous place?
[18:23] Will
Search is effective
over an area, not over time.
[18:27] Will
That area varies, but it should be
at least 140 mille at the smallest.
[18:31] Will
My stride is roughly seventy selle.
[18:34] Will
I'll tell you when we've gone
two hundred paces.
[18:37] Will
That's when I'd like you to use Search again.
[18:39] Will
You and I detect different things.
[18:42] Will
I'd like to divide the work to utilize that.
[18:45] Will
Leave enemies in our immediate
vicinity to me and Kiki.
[18:48] Will
We'll take out any monsters
that Search can't catch.
[18:53] Will
Wignall, you stay vigilant
against monsters in the distance.
[18:56] Will
We want to avoid encountering
any large swarms.
[18:58] Will
Right now, it isn't ambushes
we need to worry about most.
[19:01] Will
We need to keep our fighting
to a bare minimum.
[19:05] Wignall
How? How can you stay so calm
under the circumstances?
[19:13] Will
In order to ascend the tower,
I have no choice but to take credits by force.
[19:18] Will
I've researched all I can about the dungeon,
and I've tried everything I can, too.
[19:22] Will
It's not something I'm proud of,
[19:24] Will
but I've been stranded on different
floors over a hundred times.
[19:28] Will
With that experience, I just know
how to deal with this a little better.
[19:33] Will
That's all.
[19:38] Will
Something's coming!
SIGN Gergesa

[19:52] Will
Demon spirit swine... Gergesa!

I can sense different swarms
in the other passageways.
[19:58] Will
We have no choice but to fight!
[20:00] Will
I'll take point, Wignall!
You take the one in the back!
[20:06] Wignall
Arrowhead, pierce true!
[20:07] Wignall
Verdes Lana!
[20:23] Wignall
How? How can he move like that?
[20:27] Wignall
How can he still fight in this situation?
[20:29] Wignall
He's turned knowledge into wisdom,
and the unknown into the known.
[20:34] Wignall
You're telling me that's
how he became so strong?
[20:37] Wignall
While in comparison, I...
[20:41] Wignall
I have...
[20:44] Wignall
Oh no—
[20:46] Wignall
No time to chant a counterattack spell!
[20:47] Wignall
I'll hide myself first, then regroup!
[20:50] Wignall
Nardrea!
[20:53] Will
No!
[20:55] Will
That won't work, Wignall!
[20:57] Will
That monster—
[21:22] Will
Are you all right?
[21:24] Will
Gergesa don't have eyes, so their sense of
smell is extremely developed to compensate.
[21:28] Will
Illusions won't work on them.
[21:38] Wignall
What a disgrace.
[21:42] Will
Let's just shake it off.
You're a supremely talented elf!
[21:45] Will
Next time, we'll have a plan.
[21:46] Wignall
You're wrong. You've got it all wrong.
[21:51] Wignall
I'm not talented.
[21:55] Wignall
I'm one of the dregs. A laggard.
