The Arnold Academy of Magic is a school for the elite...and Ray White is just your ordinary guy. In fact, he doesn't seem particularly skilled with magic at all, and is a bit of a klutz. Which is why he has nothing to do with the rumor that one of the great magicians, the Iceblade Sorcerer, is a member of the incoming class...right?

00:00Almost there, one more, oh yeah, you can do it!
00:20Love that post-training refuel!
00:33Gotta get that protein in ya!
00:36Are you really about to join two clubs?
00:39Yes I am, now that I finally got into the school, I'm gonna take full advantage of it.
00:44I don't blame you, it's gonna be tough though.
00:47Oh don't worry, I'll be fine, because I've got this.
00:52No freaking way!
01:17A little bit of a smile, hiding my feelings.
01:22I can't help but see the expression of despair.
01:26Everyone is caught unconsciously in the way they want to be seen.
01:32I'm playing the role of the real thing, making excuses.
01:37It can't be helped that I'm lonely, so I give up again.
01:42Even so, I still have high expectations.
01:45My fate has begun to change because I met you.
01:49Melt the ice and release it.
01:55Beyond the closed past, to a wide world.
01:59Close the destination of freedom.
02:02With anxiety and fear, I want to take off my sweater and save someone important.
02:10I don't have the means to become that kind of person.
02:15No matter how many times I get hurt, if I'm with you,
02:19Let's stop it!
02:20The dystopia of pure love!
02:29Excuse me, sirs!
02:30What?
02:39You came.
02:41My name is Ray White, sir!
02:43So you're interested in joining the Environmental Research Club?
02:46We're explorers! The mountains, forests, rivers!
02:50No region is off-limits for the Environmental Research Club!
02:53Those who conduct official research are fearless! We're known as...
02:57The Hunters!
02:58And while our club chooses not to discriminate against ordinaries,
03:01People with weak bodies and minds will have a hard time keeping up with the Environmental Research Club.
03:06He looks kind of scrawny.
03:08Definitely not buff enough.
03:13Let the man disrobe! Then we'll make our judgment!
03:16All right, then!
03:18Behold!
03:29What is so great? I've already had to pay property taxes!
03:34Impressive muscles, kid.
03:36They're not just for show.
03:37I can tell you got them by actually putting your body to work.
03:42I put them to good use in the country.
03:44The name's Ray, huh?
03:46I take it... you got one of these?
03:49You've got keen insight, sir.
03:51Here.
03:53What's all the commotion?
03:56How did an ordinary get up here in the heights?
04:00Gold is like the next level, man!
04:02You can tell by his physique he means serious business.
04:07I see it in you. Potential.
04:15Ray, will you become a pillar of our mighty club?
04:19It would be my greatest honor.
04:22Yeah!
04:31Pardon me!
04:39Ray White? What is this?
04:42You want to join the gardening club?
04:44Yes. Plants are fascinating to me.
04:47They're just so resilient.
04:49No matter how hostile the environment,
04:51flowers always seem to find their way.
04:54Anywhere. Even battlefields.
04:57You really like flowers, I take it.
05:00Yeah.
05:01There are no other male members in this club.
05:04Is that going to be a problem for you?
05:06No, not at all. I can hold a conversation with anyone.
05:09Well, in that case...
05:10Are you serious, Rebecca?
05:13Dina, what's wrong?
05:14Can't you see? This young man obviously has his eyes on you!
05:17We can't have a man traipsing around in the flower garden!
05:20The flowers would all wither away.
05:22In case anyone forgot, he's also an ordinary.
05:28Here's what's going to happen.
05:29I'll let Dina handle this. She'll make the final decision.
05:32Wait, why me?
05:34Your objection was the strongest.
05:36So if he seems unworthy after the interview, you can reject him.
05:39Oh, I guess I can do that.
05:41Thank you very much.
05:43And you are?
05:45I'm Dina Serra, third year student.
05:47I look forward to our interview, Miss Serra.
05:49Ha! Keep acting polite, but I will find out what you're really after.
05:56Your first task, get this mess into shape.
05:58So is this where you guys want to put the new garden?
06:01That's correct.
06:02The academy was nice enough to let our group use this space,
06:05but the soil is depleted and it's full of weeds.
06:07It needs a lot of love.
06:09Is this how you're vetting me for the club?
06:11You've only got one week, and you must do it alone.
06:14I understand.
06:15All right, good luck!
06:17I mean, not that it'll help much.
06:21Okay, let's do this.
06:48Hey!
07:12Hey, doesn't look half bad.
07:14Hey, want to take a break?
07:17Sure.
07:23Man, that's good.
07:24I'm glad you like it.
07:25Those sandwiches have been my favorite since I can remember.
07:28So I'm negotiating with the school to start ordering them for us.
07:31Wait, we can ask for stuff like that?
07:33If you're me, yes.
07:34I'm student council president.
07:36Uh-huh.
07:37You're from a top family and you're the president?
07:40I must say, you've got an impressive resume.
07:43Whatever you need, come find me.
07:45Uh-huh.
07:48We've got the Magic Chevalier coming up soon.
07:51What is the Magic Chevalier?
07:53It's a competition the academy holds to find the most powerful magic sword fighter.
07:57Most powerful?
07:59What's wrong?
08:00Are you not going to participate?
08:02Guess I'll think about it.
08:09Can't not stare.
08:12What are you looking at?
08:14Would it be weird if I just touched them a little bit?
08:17Oh, no.
08:19Go ahead.
08:20Thank you.
08:24I can't believe how sturdy they are.
08:27And just how does one sculpt the perfect bicep, Mr. Ray?
08:30You gotta spend lots of time training out in the country.
08:33That's amazing.
08:34This was the first time I've ever felt a man's muscles.
08:37How educational.
08:38No way.
08:39Is that the wizard?
08:40Seems he didn't get his fill with Lady Amelia,
08:42so he's hunting for trophies from all the top families.
08:45Of course he is.
08:46That's how all those perverted ordinaries operate.
08:56Here it is, Miss Sarah.
08:58How did I do?
08:59I guess you passed.
09:01You passed the test.
09:03Thank you.
09:04I'm honored.
09:06Great job.
09:07Now who wants to plant some flowers while we're here?
09:09I do!
09:17Ray, there's something I'd like you to look into.
09:21What have we got here?
09:25A spy from the Empire is here inside the kingdom?
09:28Seriously?
09:29Afraid so.
09:30There's a chance that the Academy itself has been infiltrated.
09:33The staff's been made aware of the potential intrusion.
09:35But if you find anything suspicious, let me know.
09:39You can count on me.
09:40I apologize.
09:41The kingdom's state of affairs are quite messy at the moment.
09:44I'd like to resolve this as quietly as possible.
09:50Hello, Clary.
09:54Ray?
09:55Come on!
09:56Why'd you sneak up on me like that?
09:58I could've had a heart attack!
09:59I'm sorry about that.
10:00Can I ask why you're conspicuously crouched by the bushes?
10:05I'm looking at a pillbug.
10:07A pillbug?
10:08I know.
10:09It's kind of weird for a noble's daughter to like insects.
10:12It's really tough, you know?
10:14Everyone else is into cute animals like cats or dogs.
10:17That's probably why I don't have a lot of friends.
10:19It's a part of your personality.
10:21And I think it's pretty cool that you love bugs.
10:25You're kidding, right?
10:26Isn't it weird, though?
10:27No way.
10:28I think bugs are awesome.
10:29And it's an honor to be one of your friends, Clarice.
10:32What?
10:33We're friends?
10:34I can't believe you just said we were friends!
10:37I don't know what to say.
10:39I'm sorry.
10:40I felt comfortable opening up to you because we're friends.
10:43Maybe I read too far into it.
10:45Forgive me if I crossed the line.
10:47But why now?
10:48I've never had a friend.
10:50Sure, I guess I'm okay with that.
10:52You mean it?
10:53That would make my day.
10:54My gosh, my first bestie!
10:57A non-bug friend!
10:59What was that?
11:00I didn't say anything.
11:02Okay.
11:03Well, the sun's about to go down.
11:05If you're up for it,
11:06maybe next time we can talk about all the amazing bugs I've seen in the jungle.
11:09I want to hear every detail!
11:11Promise me, Ray!
11:12Yeah, consider it promised.
11:14Besides, talking with you is always a blast anyway.
11:18Twist my arm, why don't ya?
11:20You're so insistent I can't turn you down.
11:22I'll see you later.
11:26Yeah.
11:27I can't wait.
11:31Today, we'll be discussing the many derivations of sorcery.
11:34Although this topic is very technical,
11:36would anybody care to explain it?
11:39Mr. Ray White.
11:40Give it a shot.
11:41Right.
11:42There are the base categories, with four grades.
11:45Low grade, mid grade, high grade, and holy grade.
11:47There are also subcategories,
11:50like quick,
11:52remote,
11:55chain,
11:59delay,
12:01material shift,
12:04extensive,
12:09and extensive chain.
12:10With that, you have the seven sub-derivations.
12:13Correct on all counts, Mr. White.
12:15You've studied, it shows.
12:17Thank you.
12:26That's all for today's class.
12:28That's all for today's class.
12:30But soon, we'll be having our practical in the Kafka Forest,
12:33so start preparing.
12:38Before the exercise, I'd like you to group up into parties of four.
12:41Class dismissed.
12:44Easy, we got four right here.
12:46Yeah, Al, what do you think?
12:47Lady Rose, if you don't have a group,
12:49would you like to join ours?
12:50Please, please, please.
12:51Hey, you should join us.
12:55What am I gonna do?
12:56Join my group, duh.
12:59Are you sure?
13:00You are aware I'm not known for being the best sorcerer, right?
13:03You make up for it with physical strength.
13:05Besides, you're a gold-tier hunter, my man.
13:07No one can beat that.
13:09You think so? Thanks, man.
13:11Well, it's true.
13:12Now, who else should we ask?
13:21Hello, Ray.
13:22Hey there, you wanna join us?
13:26Uh...
13:29I mean, thanks.
13:30I'm not strong like you, though.
13:32While I appreciate the invite,
13:34I'm afraid I'll just drag you down.
13:36Melissa.
13:40Listen, we're only at our best when we work together.
13:43We need you.
13:44But, Ray...
13:46I'll be there for backup as well.
13:51Okay, thanks guys.
13:53Count me in.
13:55Hey, is that last spot still open?
14:04Of course it is.
14:05That spot was yours from the very beginning.
14:08Uh...
14:21Now that you are all here, let's go over the details.
14:24The objective of today's exercise is to reach the goal at the center of the forest.
14:29Now keep in mind that you are required to hit each checkpoint in order to pass.
14:34The number of stamps you collect along the way will affect your final grade.
14:37You have 24 hours to complete the drill, so don't be screwing around.
14:42The Kafka Forest is full of monsters which have evolved to survive in this unique environment.
14:47Be advised that combat will be necessary.
14:50Though this is your first practical exercise, do not ask for help.
14:54Doing so could result in your team being held back a year.
14:57That is all.
14:58Now wait over at the designated starting zone until you see the signal.
15:04I'm so nervous.
15:06Everything's gonna be fine. We're all right here by your side.
15:09I really appreciate that.
15:11You seem pretty calm and collected.
15:13That's because I am.
15:14I'm feeling a bit nostalgic, if anything.
15:16Why nostalgic?
15:17I'm a country boy, remember?
15:19I spent a lot of time running around the forest.
15:23Hey, what type of formation should we use?
15:25Right, I guess we should figure that out.
15:27What if you and Ray were vanguards at the front?
15:29I'll be in the middle.
15:30What if you and Ray were vanguards at the front?
15:32I'll be in the middle.
15:33And Elisa can bring up the rear.
15:35That works for me.
15:36No, how about this?
15:38I'll take the middle and help out as needed.
15:40I'm used to these type of drills anyway.
15:43So I'd like you and Emilie to take the lead as vanguards.
15:46It doesn't matter to me, but I don't understand how it's possible for you to be used to these type of drills.
15:51Let's just say I learned a lot in the backwoods.
15:55May I have your attention?
15:57The practical exercise is about to commence.
16:00Here it comes. Everyone ready?
16:02Heck yeah, totally.
16:04I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.
16:08Let the drill begin!
16:28Huh?
16:34Are you okay? I've got you.
16:36I'm okay.
16:37Now it's on!
16:38Looks like we found our first monster.
16:46Holy crap!
16:47Cut in half with one slash.
16:49Amazing. Great job!
16:51Thanks. Shall we?
16:54Hey look, we found a stamp!
16:56Slap it on there!
16:59We did it, you guys!
17:00Yeah, we're doing great.
17:05Is this the right way?
17:07It is, I think.
17:08Looks off to me.
17:13He's so cute!
17:22We're making good time. At this rate, we could be the first ones to finish.
17:25Thanks to Ray, he was impressive back there.
17:28He was. His combat abilities are remarkable.
17:31And his wealth of survival knowledge is just as impressive.
17:34I'd expect nothing less from a gold hunter.
17:37I may have stumbled across a monster or two in the backwoods.
17:40This situation is nothing new to me.
17:42In the backwoods? Right.
17:45She's seen right through my average country upbringing backstory.
17:49Master said it was foolproof.
17:51You're something else, Mr. Country.
17:53So are you, m'lady.
17:55I would have never expected the Rose family's eldest daughter to rub elbows with an ordinary.
17:59It's pretty unusual.
18:00Yeah, well, I never liked all that nobility stuff anyway.
18:04Isn't your family the greatest of the three noble houses?
18:07Aren't you a little bit proud?
18:09I hate all the pomp and circumstance.
18:12My name's just a name, you know.
18:14It diminishes my hard work.
18:16Amelia?
18:18It's not a big deal.
18:20You know, I love hanging out with you guys because you treat me like a person, not like a status symbol.
18:26Yeah, I wanted to say I'm happy that we're all getting to know each other.
18:29Oh my goodness, you are just so stinking adorable, I can't take it anymore!
18:34Cute, cute, cute.
18:36Amelia, this is starting to get a little weird.
18:38You know we're all counting on you, right?
18:41You know we're all counting on you, right?
18:45Compared to life on the battlefield, this forest is heaven.
18:51After everything I've done, is it even okay for me to be here?
18:56Should I have the right to enjoy a normal life like this?
18:59Ray?
19:02Everything okay?
19:07It's fine. Let's get some rest for tomorrow.
19:21Listen, it wouldn't be fair to tell you to keep your identity a secret forever,
19:26but your situation is rather delicate.
19:29So if you want to enjoy a normal school life, it's probably best to try to keep it under wraps.
19:34However, I know deep in my heart, someday you will find friends that you can trust.
19:40Master, what should I do?
19:43I need you.
19:45Master, what should I do?
19:47I need you.
19:55What was that?
19:56Someone screamed!
19:58Hey!
19:59Hey, hang on!
20:00I'm sorry, but I gotta go!
20:06I have to act. Somebody's in danger.
20:15Please, help me!
20:16Stay back, you big freak!
20:18Damn, it's huge. What the hell is it?
20:20Mr. Allium! Help is on the way!
20:24The Withered?
20:25Inside code. Inertia control.
20:29How is he moving so fast?
20:46The Withered
20:54Hey, you okay?
20:59Stop! Don't you pity me!
21:01You're just a pathetic ordinary!
21:03I could have handled that myself, you know!
21:06Oh, I get it now. You were playing dead, huh?
21:10You little bastard!
21:11Hey!
21:15What's that thing?
21:16It's enormous!
21:18This is the monster that attacked Mr. Allium at his party.
21:21What are you waiting for?
21:23Will you hurry up and get us down?
21:28Elisa, could you help make sure they get back on their feet?
21:31Got it. Count on me!
21:33I'm right behind you.
21:37Did you take this thing down by yourself?
21:41Yeah, why?
21:43Ray, who are you really?
22:02That's not good.
22:04Not at all!
22:12The Withered
22:42The Withered
23:13The Withered
23:26The Withered
23:42The Withered
23:50Hey, here's what's coming up next on the Ice Blade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World.
23:55Ray picks a fight with a massive monster.
23:57Can he defeat it for a second time and finish this insane practical in one piece?
24:02You'll have to wait and see.
24:03The boy who became the world's strongest sorcerer enjoys a day off.
24:07Evi Armstrong, over and out.
24:12To be continued
