00:00Whoa! The stars are absolutely beautiful!
00:08Mm-hmm. Awww!
00:10If I haven't told you yet, thanks for coming out here with us.
00:13Oh, I'm always happy to help with trash pickup. No problem.
00:16Little does he know what we're really doing tonight.
00:19WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? GET OUT OF HERE!
00:22I DIDN'T SIGN OFF ON THIS! YOU'RE TRESPASSING!
00:24I may be wrong, but that's the holy sword, yes?
00:27But one that can only be removed by powerful magic?
00:30Yep. Legend says whoever wields it shall rule the world.
00:33Personally, I'm inclined to call shenanigans on that last little detail.
00:37Methinks the mayor just likes subsidizing his treasure trove with tourist money.
00:40No! Did not just-
00:42Oops.
00:43Uh-huh.
00:45There goes the holy sword campground!
00:48The museum! The holy sword four-star vacation resort!
00:52YOU THINK PEOPLE FLOCK TO THIS CONFERENCE LIKE A BACKLATER FOR THE FOLIACH?!
00:56Well, I'm satisfied. We can go now.
00:59What do you think we should do about the sword?
01:01Mmm...
01:02Probably get the word out before Mr. Chamber of Commerce over there makes a cheap knockoff.
01:07Good luck with that, by the way. I'm counting on you!
01:10AHHHHH!
01:11Talk about fun. I love training.
01:22They're a natural, Sir Lloyd.
01:24I'm not crazy about hitting the books, but at least we'll have a chance to catch a break-
01:28ATTENTION!
01:30Today we toss the books! In place of dry theory, we'll be running practical exercises to prepare us for the match against Rokujo Sorcery Academy.
01:37Huh?
01:40What kind of match?
01:41It's a contest of magical skill. Azumi's been on a losing streak the past several years.
01:46We will kick our rival's butts! That's in order!
01:50Alright! As you all know, there are three types of magical technique. First, we have word magic, or chanting. Next, there are signs and symbols, also known as sigils. Third, conduits, or magical items. With each technique comes certain advantages and drawbacks, so it's best to be eclectic.
02:07Are we ready?
02:09Yes!
02:10Burn some ash!
02:12Blame magic!
02:13Run to ash!
02:14Blame magic!
02:16Run to ash!
02:17Blame magic!
02:18Okay, then. Nicely done, you two! Show me what you got, Lloyd!
02:24Yes, ma'am! Here I go!
02:27Aren't you bashing meme tragic-
02:31Oh, no!
02:36Aw!
02:37Oh, man, I totally botched it!
02:39He thinks that was a fail?
02:42That was a fail?!
02:49Alright-o, you'll compete using wind magic!
02:52Are you crazy?! We're not supposed to compete to the death!
02:55Oh, calm down! You didn't kill me, Dickie!
03:00Bad news, kid. You won't be representing us.
03:03Excuse me. Sorry to trouble you, Colonel. I'd be interested to learn healing magic, and I understand you're an expert in the field.
03:13And why do you want to learn healing magic?
03:15Well, because tending to someone's injury brings you closer to them.
03:18It can be a very intimate experience.
03:22Hey, don't go thinking that kind of thing is a cinch to pin down. You'd be surprised how many would-be adepts get frustrated and quit.
03:28You have no idea what can go wrong. Accidentally seal a wound with debris inside, and we're talking major infection.
03:34You're right back where you started, if they don't lose a limb.
03:37Wow, you! You really know your stuff!
03:40Uh, only what I've heard.
03:41So it's hard, okay? All the more reason to start early. Seems like good expertise to have, if you ask me.
03:48Totally agree! I want to learn, too!
03:51Hmph! Great! I propose a healing magic boot camp sesh!
03:54We'll need someone with an injury we can work on.
03:57Hm?
03:58Oh, if only we were to find the poor soul! We'll just have to be vigilant!
04:02My thoughts exactly!
04:04It's a larger lesson to be learned here! The price of every victory is sacrifice!
04:09I don't follow.
04:10Oh wait, no, that's a different lesson.
04:12Yeah, I meant the cure can be worse than the ailment.
04:15Colonel!
04:18Hello!
04:19Sorry! We didn't mean to frighten you. Just doing a little window shopping.
04:33Oh, I... well, please do come in.
04:36My name is Mina Quinone. This is my sibling, Philo Quinone.
04:41Uh, the mercenary sisters of Rokujo.
04:44Ding-ding!
04:45I'll never get used to being so well-known. We're still students!
04:49And what brings you ladies to my humble abode?
04:53We're looking for her.
04:55Gasp!
04:56So... you are familiar.
04:58Gasp!
04:59Gasp!
05:00Gasp!
05:05Hi! Sorry I'm Lace!
05:06Gasp!
05:08Gasp!
05:09Gasp!
05:11Gasp!
05:12Gasp!
05:13Oh no!
05:14Hello.
05:16Gasp!
05:17Huh?
05:18Gasp!
05:19Gasp!
05:20Gasp!
05:21Huh?
05:22Gasp!
05:23That's what that was!
05:26Huh?
05:26Sorry I got in the way! You'd have caught it if I wasn't such a clods!
05:31You're lucky it was only him.
05:33Huh?
05:34Oh, hey. That's a pretty cool picture of Miss Rio you got there.
05:38You know this person?
05:40Yeah, me and her go to the military academy.
05:42Uh, maybe don't be so...
05:44Accept me as your protege.
05:46I will cook your meals, clean house, murder your foes, whatever you require.
05:52That's really nice of you to offer and all, but this is Miss Marie's house.
05:56Uh, my name is Philo and I live here now.
05:59You do?
06:00Agreed? Good.
06:01Now then, I shall scrub the master's bath.
06:04Oh gosh!
06:05Where is your bath?
06:06This is making me very uncomfortable!
06:08Ouch!
06:10Cleansing salt banish!
06:14Ow.
06:16Sweetie, are you okay?
06:18I think that girl broke one of my ribs.
06:21She did?
06:23Let's fix it so you're not in any pain!
06:25Uh, it's no big deal, really.
06:27Huh.
06:28It'll heal on its own in a couple of hours.
06:30What?
06:31I'm fine, I promise.
06:32Signs!
06:33I gotta get started on dinner!
06:35I've gotta get used to this.
06:38Especially if we're living together for who knows how long.
06:40I mean, it could be several months.
06:44Possibly forever!
06:45I hear you and Lloyd paid a little visit to the village of the Holy Sword.
06:52It was work-related!
06:52And I'm sure you and my darling had fun all the same.
06:57Yeah, we did.
06:59I knew it!
07:00You were on a date!
07:01Merse it!
07:03I didn't hear you come in, Chief.
07:05How are things?
07:07Where...
07:07Where's Miss Marie?
07:09No idea!
07:10But what is that heavenly smell from the kitchen?
07:13Who does the harpy think she is?
07:20Some little brat could've ripped my wings off!
07:22Maybe I'll die!
07:41Okay, let's get this show on the road!
07:43Hmm?
07:44The match is soon.
07:47I should think of a way to reward these kids for all their hard work.
07:51Hmm.
07:51Yes, of course!
07:53Hmm?
07:54I'm curious.
07:56Why do you want to win this so badly?
07:58No reason.
07:59Certainly not because that absolute snake of a woman just became Rokujo's headmaster!
08:03And that would be...
08:05Depends on who's asking.
08:08Roll?
08:09Mind your manners, Riho.
08:11That's no way to greet an old friend.
08:12We've known each other too long.
08:14You're not supposed to be here!
08:16The match hasn't started!
08:17I've been looking everywhere for you, Riho.
08:20I'm relieved that you're alright.
08:22I see the mithril arm is holding up nicely.
08:25How dare you!
08:27Is this someone we should be concerned about?
08:29Most definitely.
08:31Roll Kalsik.
08:33Headmaster of Rokujo.
08:35We used to be classmates back in the day.
08:37Some people schmooze and connive their way to the top.
08:40She clawed.
08:41It's about time to come home, don't you think?
08:46But then again, perhaps you get off on losing things you hold dear.
08:51Don't threaten me!
08:52I'm not going to be strong-armed!
08:53A deliciously ironic figure of speech in your case.
08:59There's no rush, love.
09:00I'm happy to wait for an answer on the day of the match.
09:03Bye.
09:09Same for me, Master.
09:12Who is this floozy?
09:15Let us be on our way now, Philo.
09:20I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for that exchange and I am here for it!
09:24I have no clue what her deal is, actually.
09:27I think she wants to come live with us or something.
09:32Over my dead body!
09:44Oh, wow!
09:45Every time you cook, you outdo yourself!
09:48Bravo, Lloyd!
09:51Glad you're happy with it, miss.
09:53Oh, God!
09:55He's thinking about the other night!
09:59Um, can I ask you something?
10:01Oh, yes, of course!
10:02It's just...
10:03Someone I know needs cheering up.
10:06Trouble is, I'm not really sure how to go about it.
10:09Is it me?
10:10Do I need cheering up?
10:13Ahem.
10:14Are we talking about a girl?
10:16Yes.
10:17He's so sweet!
10:19Well, let's see, then.
10:21Asking her out to tea might be a good way to lift her spirits.
10:24Huh, that sounds kind of nice.
10:26Doesn't it, though?
10:27Like a date!
10:29Like a date?!
10:30Uh-oh.
10:30That's, uh...
10:31I mean, girls don't want to waste their time going out with a weakling like me.
10:35Right?
10:35I better come up with a different plan.
10:38Stop being so down on yourself!
10:39Root strength isn't the end-all, be-all!
10:41We also like thoughtful and kind.
10:44That's two out of three.
10:45You really think so?
10:46Thank you for putting it that way.
10:48No prob!
10:49Huh, that settles it, then.
10:51Tomorrow I'm asking Miss Riho out for tea.
10:56What?
11:00Snap out of it, Riho!
11:01This funk is distracting Sir Lloyd for more important things,
11:04like paying attention to me!
11:08Lucky, lucky!
11:10Isn't this just the most undeniably adorable photo of Sir Lloyd you ever laid eyes on?
11:14Are you cheered up yet?
11:16Hmm?
11:17Hmm?
11:18Now, now, you're doing it all wrong, Selene!
11:20The way to a person's heart is to tell them a dirty joke-
11:23AAAAAAAH!
11:25I could have waited till my wounds were healed!
11:27Miss Riho?
11:28Could everyone stop treating me like I need an ice cream cone?
11:32Would you go out on a date with me?
11:34AAAAAAAA!
11:38Mmm...
11:39Mmm...
11:39Mmm...
11:40If you...
11:41hate donuts, it's fine.
11:43Mmm, it's not that!
11:44Okay, then. Well, I'm a good listener. Why don't you try telling me what's wrong?
11:51I understand if it's hard to talk about, but I'm just worried about you.
11:56You haven't really been yourself since the other day.
11:59Lloyd, I...
12:00Why did she agree to go through with this? The two of them have such good chemistry!
12:07That's the biggest roach I've ever... Wait a minute!
12:09I thought this might help.
12:17Oh, that's why we're sitting in a tea room.
12:21Fine, I'll spill.
12:26So, yeah. I grew up in an orphanage.
12:30That's where I met Rol.
12:32She had a real knack for magic. Still does.
12:36Just about everything I know I've picked up from her.
12:39See, us orphans take care of our own.
12:44Problem was, missing an arm meant I was a liability.
12:47One day, when Rol came home, she had a present for me.
12:52A prosthetic arm made of mithril.
12:57I was so excited.
12:59Finally, I could go out, get a job, earn my keep,
13:02maybe even work side by side with my best friend.
13:05But no. Instead, I ran away.
13:09Rol is a user.
13:11She didn't give me this arm out of the goodness of her heart.
13:14She wanted to signal boost my magic so I could extract the holy sword.
13:18But that...
13:19Could kill a mere mortal like me, yeah.
13:21Did I mention mithril can't be touched with bare hands?
13:24So, that arm...
13:26It's like a plant with its roots in me, slowly draining my magic.
13:30And there's nothing you can do to get it off?
13:33Nothing.
13:33Why do you think I've been running my whole life?
13:36All those warrants for my arrest are her doing.
13:38Not one of them is for an actual crime.
13:41I used to look up to her when I was a kid.
13:44She just saw me as a means to an end.
13:46Taught me a hard lesson about trust.
13:51Wait, were you listening to me? You can't touch it!
13:54It's okay.
13:56I may just be a low-ranking cadet who squeaked into the academy on pity.
14:00But, I swear to you that one day I will be useful.
14:04Trust me, please.
14:07You and me are friends.
14:09I could never betray you.
14:11Uh, why?
14:14You have betrayed me!
14:17How long have you been offering?
14:18Shame on you!
14:19I would think I was owed the respect of being told that story much sooner!
14:23Wait a second, this is about me?
14:24I too am the foil of false allegations!
14:26Our mutual hardships are the mast upon which we may hang the sail of deeper friendship!
14:31They say I'm a stalker of all things!
14:33Kind of a different situation.
14:34Life at the academy would be absolutely unspeakably dull without a Reho at my side!
14:40Thus our foes shall feel our wrath!
14:42May their mothers rue the very day they conceived them!
14:44Yeah!
14:45Just not the mother part, maybe?
14:48This is stupid.
14:49What on earth has gotten into you guys?
14:52Still,
14:53you only live once.
14:56Now then,
14:58which cadets will have the honor of representing you?
15:00The two you're looking at right now.
15:04Choose me, master.
15:05Teach me well.
15:06I will count your eyes out with a spoon!
15:08Actually, Lloyd won't be participating.
15:14Colonel Colleen appears to have a dilemma!
15:17Please tell me the rest of you heard that too?
15:19I'm up here!
15:20Who are you?
15:23Who am I?
15:31Only the much-celebrated Mikon Azol head of the second-year class.
15:34As if you didn't know.
15:36Why are we letting children participate?
15:39I shall represent Azami.
15:41Not this mewling boy.
15:44Lloyd Belladonna.
15:46Prepare to be humbled as you sit on the sidelines and witness the skills of your superior.
15:53I think putting you in sounds like an excellent idea.
15:56Hooray!
15:56All right!
16:00Kicking off with a practice match!
16:01And go!
16:05She looks powerful.
16:09Is that a magic stone?
16:11She's using a conduit!
16:13Magical items augment her proficiency in close combat.
16:16They're about to start.
16:21Blame!
16:23Water!
16:24That didn't take long.
16:31I'm afraid I have to call it!
16:33No, wait.
16:33Please.
16:34I can't be out.
16:37Are you hurt?
16:39You need healing!
16:41How dare you look down upon me!
16:43Remember your place!
16:45I will not be patronized by a useless scrub!
16:47Mikona?
16:50Oh my goodness!
17:08Let's just be glad you weren't seriously hurt.
17:11There we go.
17:12You'll heal up fine.
17:14I can't thank you enough.
17:16Where have you been all this time?
17:18I used to see you every day.
17:20Must mean you've improved.
17:23Yeah.
17:24Can I make you some coffee?
17:26Please!
17:30Black coffee.
17:32Some folks like cream and sugar.
17:34But no frills for the two of us, eh?
17:35How I've missed this.
17:41Are you feeling all right?
17:43Eh, sure!
17:45You seem unusually flushed.
17:46Those red cheeks.
17:48Sweetheart, are you coming down with a fever?
17:54Well, not as warm as you look.
17:56For a fleeting moment, we drew breath from the same volume of air!
17:59This is the greatest day of my life!
18:01I'm home!
18:01What a crazy afternoon!
18:03Oh, Miss Mikona.
18:05You know each other?
18:06Kinda.
18:07We met during practice for the big match.
18:10Right, that's coming up soon!
18:11Sounds like it'll be exciting!
18:13Sure does!
18:14Anyway, don't let me keep you from dinner.
18:15Yes, ma'am.
18:16Shouldn't take too long.
18:17Thank heavens!
18:18I'm starving!
18:19What's on the menu this evening?
18:21You'll see.
18:21I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I think you'll like it.
18:24Duh!
18:25I love everything you make, especially when you use tomatoes.
18:28Does tonight's culinary masterpiece involve tomatoes, perchance?
18:32Did you start drinking a little early today?
18:35Yep!
18:42Welcome, competitors!
18:44Now begins the inter-school match between the cadets of Azami and Roku-jo Sorcery Academy!
18:50Have you made up your mind?
18:51Not so long ago, I would have forfeited my life for that orphanage.
18:56Bear that in mind when you think about this arm.
18:59Roll.
18:59Wise choice.
19:01For the friend I thought I knew I'd have done anything!
19:04But greedy, backstabbing snakes that shed their conscience and take advantage of people get nothing from me!
19:10Tread lightly, Riho.
19:12You may be forfeiting more than your life.
19:14You want to test my resolve?
19:16Go ahead!
19:16I swear I'll protect those children with everything I've got!
19:19I am sincerely going to enjoy seeing you reduced to a puddle.
19:24Before we begin, allow me to showcase what goes to the winner.
19:27Hmm?
19:28The Holy Sword!
19:29Recently extracted!
19:31Included but not shown as a generous cash prize.
19:34Are you kidding me?!
19:36For the first time, I was so proud of you!
19:53No, it wasn't.
19:56It was her zad, It was her doå…ˆ!
