00:00Ryo
00:30The children here tend to come from royal or titled families
00:34I'm afraid they might not give you a very warm...
00:38It's alright
00:39What?
00:40I'm aware of my place, but thanks for your concern
00:43Alright, but if you have any problems, please don't hesitate to come to me, okay?
00:48I will
00:50Welcome! Enjoy your first day at the Academy!
00:54Wow, I can't believe they let it come in
00:59Everyone, we have a new transfer student
01:01His name is Ryo, and today is his first day
01:03Oh, and I hope I don't have to remind you to be nice
01:11I heard he saved Princess Flora, so we got the king to approve his enrollment
01:16You have done the kingdom a great service by protecting my daughter, I thank you
01:21You humble me, sir
01:23I only did what I knew was right
01:26Very good
01:27As thanks in return, I am granting you scholarship to the Royal Academy's primary school
01:31Effective immediately
01:33Ryo?
01:35Hm?
01:36Introduce yourself to everyone
01:38Okay
01:39My name is Ryo
01:41Through the kindness bestowed upon me by His Majesty the King
01:44I have been allowed to attend this place of learning
01:46I am looking forward to catching up with you
01:49And I'm hoping to earn your favor
01:51Great
01:53Well, at least he speaks as well as a servant
01:57Well then, Ryo, why don't you go ahead and take a seat over there?
02:00Sure
02:01All right, everyone, calm down and get ready for our lesson
02:12I want all of you to pay attention
02:14Yes, Miss
02:16Open up your notebooks
02:18We've got a lot to go over today, so I don't want to dally
02:23There we go, copy those down and get to work, everyone
02:26Yes, Miss
02:28Hmm
02:30Come on, these are way too easy
02:36Ryo
02:37Hm?
02:38You don't need to push yourself too hard today
02:40Right, I won't, but thanks for your concern
02:45I don't think he can breathe
02:47That's enough, it's time for you to focus on your work now
02:58Where did it go?
03:00Is this it?
03:02Professor Celia?
03:06Not able to read the sign
03:09Oh, I'm sorry
03:11You know I can't, right?
03:13Ryo?
03:14I came here to ask about private tutoring
03:17Oh, yes, well done, right on time
03:20I've been waiting for you, great
03:22Sounds like she didn't remember
03:24Hmm
03:26Okay, come on in
03:28Right
03:29Pardon me
03:31Ugh
03:32Do forgive the mess
03:33I haven't had a chance to tidy
03:34So it's a bit cluttered in here
03:36I see
03:38Usually my office is more organized than this
03:41Just wait here
03:42I'll try and clear us some space
03:45You have a lot of complicated looking books in here
03:47But you still look really young, Professor
03:49That's where that is
03:50Hmm?
03:51Oh, yes
03:52I am only 12 years old
03:54What?
03:55Really, I should be in the same class that you're in right now
03:58But I skipped grades and graduated from high school early
04:02You must be smart
04:04Yeah, I suppose
04:10I finished
04:12Already?
04:14Wow, amazing job, you got them all right
04:16Did you end up doing all the work in your head?
04:19Well, it was only multiplication and division
04:22I just needed to learn how to write the numbers
04:24Really?
04:25The only other person in your class who can do this is Princess Christina
04:28Oh, I guess I never realized that
04:32It makes sense, I guess
04:35After all, I was in university before this
04:38Rio
04:40Huh?
04:41Where did you pick up arithmetic from?
04:42My mother taught me before she died
04:45Oh, I see
04:47Your mother must have been quite a cultured woman
04:49Yes, she was kind
04:52And a very warm person
04:54I'm sorry for making you think about her
04:57No, I'm fine
04:59I'm glad you're okay
05:01I'll go make us some tea
05:02Here you are
05:10Please, help yourself
05:12Smells really nice
05:16This is great
05:17I'm glad you like it
05:18I love a good cup of tea
05:22It makes me happy
05:24Warm drinks are great
05:28Riel?
05:29Yes, ma'am
05:30How was your first official day here at the Academy?
05:33I do hope you'll tell me if you have any problems
05:36I didn't
05:39Not today, anyway
05:41That's good
05:43Well, if that should change
05:45Maybe just one thing
05:47How can I help?
05:48Would you mind recommending me some books to start with?
05:51Hmm? Some books?
05:53I want to keep practicing my letters
05:55Oh, right! Sure, I can pick some out for you at the library
05:57Thank you
05:59One
06:00Two
06:01Three
06:02Four
06:03Five
06:04One
06:05Two
06:06Three
06:07Four
06:08Five
06:09Stay agile
06:13Riel
06:14Uh, sir?
06:15I want you to try as hard as you can to strike me
06:18Oh, uh, yes, sir
06:23Huh
06:25What?
06:26What?
06:28What kind of stance is he doing?
06:29Now, come attack me
06:31Now, Haruto
06:34Don't hold back
06:37Attack!
06:38What's swordsmanship?
06:39Keep pushing!
06:41Haruto, don't dodge it!
06:42Focus your attacks toward your opponent's chest!
06:43Huh
06:44Oh
06:45Huh
06:46Huh
06:47Ah
06:48Keep pushing!
06:49Uh
06:51Huh
06:52Ha
06:53Huh
06:54Huto
06:55Don't dodge it!
06:56Focus your attacks toward your opponent's chest!
06:58Ah
07:00Whoa
07:01Oh
07:02He attacked from the front instead of trying to hit from the side
07:08What does he think he can do with that for him?
07:11He's just another vulgar rat
07:13Alright, that's enough
07:16Ria, you very well could be a knight
07:21Good
07:22I'm terribly sorry
07:23I'm not interested in the knights
07:25Really?
07:27Thank you though, for your kind words
07:29What's that?
07:30Is he alive?
07:35Ria?
07:36Yes?
07:37I thought I might find you here
07:39We've got the exams coming up soon
07:41Yeah, but you've only just enrolled
07:43You don't need to be worrying this much about your grades yet
07:46I know
07:47But I still want to give it everything I have
07:50Don't let me stop you then
07:52Has everyone received a copy of the exam?
07:57Yes, miss
07:58Okay, get started
07:59Eyes down
08:03Mouths closed, everyone
08:05Do the best you can, everyone
08:13Miharu
08:27Wait
08:28Pretty weird of the king to just let him in
08:36That was Miharu Ayase
08:40She was Haruto's friend back when he was a kid
08:44But when the worst happened and his parents got divorced
08:48The two of them were separated
08:50I was lucky enough to see her again in high school
08:53But that was it
08:55She never came back after that time
08:59It was like she just left and vanished into thin air
09:02Why does any of this matter?
09:07Haruto Amakawa is dead
09:09Right now, I am Ria
09:11I'm not that person anymore
09:13Stay strong
09:15I will live through this
09:16But I have to stay focused
09:18And strong
09:19But this can't be right
09:21I'm with you
09:23Are you really tied with Princess Christina?
09:26Really?
09:27I'm third?
09:28Absolutely not!
09:29This has to be a mistake!
09:31It doesn't make sense!
09:33Hey, he's here!
09:34Huh?
09:34Tell me, how did you cheat?
09:36I'm not sure I know what you mean
09:38Look at that!
09:39Are you saying that a commoner like you
09:41Has what it takes to match Princess Christina?
09:44Fraud is the only explanation
09:45I did?
09:46Tell us what dirty trick you used to get those grades!
09:49I studied and took the exact same exam you did
09:52Now you're lying!
09:53Leave it be, Alphonse
09:54Huh?
09:56It's unsightly for a gentleman to be jealous
09:58I disagree!
10:01I object to this injustice!
10:02Do you have any concrete evidence to prove your claim?
10:05I don't
10:06Unsubstantiated allegations only sully our academy's reputation
10:10You cares?
10:12There's no fraud here!
10:13This was the result of Ryo's work
10:15I can personally attest to that
10:17Professor Cecilia
10:18I will never accept this!
10:22Let's go
10:23Yeah
10:24Thank you
10:27You were not the one I was trying to protect
10:29So do not thank me
10:30I will not be beaten next time
10:33Congratulations for placing so well on your exam
10:39Thank you, Professor
10:41Although to tell you the truth
10:42Now I'm even more worried about you
10:45Worried?
10:46Yeah
10:46I'm just worried that this might be another excuse
10:49For the students in the class to keep picking on you
10:51Oh, I'm already used to that
10:54Oh, dear
10:54I think that says more about the character of those nobles
10:57Hey, Professor Cecilia
11:00You said you did well in school
11:02Did you ever get bullied?
11:03Sure
11:04Every once in a while
11:05When someone with a big title and henchmen
11:07Were looking for an easy target
11:08I just ignored most of it
11:10I thought you might have
11:11Yeah, but in my case
11:13I had friends to help me
11:14Then I shouldn't have any problem either
11:16What?
11:17I'm happy to call you my friend, Professor
11:19Huh?
11:24Ryo!
11:24What?
11:25Are you making fun of me?
11:26You can't just treat me like a kid
11:28Is this where I remind you that you're older than me?
11:31Right
11:32I guess so
11:33Well, at least
11:34If you think of me as a friend
11:36It means you'll let me know if you need help, right?
11:39Yes
11:39Is that a problem?
11:42No
11:42I don't mind
11:44Huh?
11:45I said
11:46I don't mind
11:47Come again?
11:49I can't hear you
11:50I told you that I didn't mind
11:54Why are you so difficult?
11:56And I know for a fact that you heard me
11:58I'm sorry
11:59But if I do find myself in trouble again
12:01I'll come straight to you
12:03The first friend I made here
12:05I look forward to it
12:07And whenever you do
12:09Feel free to cry as much as you want
12:10You can dry your tears in my bosom
12:12Well, thankfully for me
12:14You're still pretty small
12:15So that makes you the perfect size to cling too
12:17Don't you dare call me small
12:19I still have plenty of time to grow
12:21Oh, I guess you're right
12:24Told you
12:26Ryu, you're so ridiculous
12:30Nice
12:31Our annual exhibition tournament between the knights of the realm will be coming up shortly
12:36Representatives from this class have been chosen
12:39Each of you will battle a knight
12:41Step forward if your name is called
12:43Sixth year, Alphonse Rodin
12:46Sir
12:47Fifth year
12:48Stuart Huguenot
12:50Sir
12:51And finally
12:53Ryo
12:54Get up here
12:57Sir
12:57Wait just a moment
13:01What is it?
13:02I cannot accept this
13:03It is a disgrace to allow this commoner to participate in something as prestigious as our academy's exhibition
13:09It's not like he even knows how to use magic
13:13This decision has already long been made
13:16I will accept no objections
13:17I heard you'll be participating in the tournament
13:25Yes, I am
13:28If you perform well out there
13:31You may get scouted by the knights before you even graduate, you know
13:34Didn't I already tell you?
13:37I have no intention of becoming a knight
13:39Ryo
13:40What's wrong?
13:42When did you get so tall?
13:44Huh?
13:44Well, I guess it's been five years
13:48Hey, Professor
13:50What is it?
13:52I think it's more that you didn't grow
13:54I still have plenty of time to grow, so be quiet, you
13:57You said the same thing then
13:58Yeah, so?
14:00Our tea's gonna get cold
14:02This smells so nice
14:06Tastes great, too
14:09I'll never understand how your tea is so much better than mine when we both use the same leaves
14:14It's probably because I read the instructions
14:17So if you really have no interest in becoming a knight, what do you think you'll do when you graduate?
14:23Maybe go on a journey
14:24What?
14:26There's somewhere I'd like to go
14:27So, are you going to leave the country?
14:30I think so
14:31It's been hard for me to live here
14:34I suppose I can see where you're coming from
14:37Why don't you work here?
14:41What?
14:42If you're not here, who knows what things will go wrong
14:44Convincing
14:46It's true
14:47Look at my office
14:48You cleaned it up
14:49And you always make such wonderful tea
14:51And whenever I get caught up in research, you'll come and tell me to stop
14:54I need that
14:55I can't say that I'm not grateful
14:57But aren't you having marriage talks soon?
15:01Why'd you bring that up?
15:03I'm just saying it wouldn't look good if you had a commoner hanging out in your lab all the time
15:06It's not like I've been planning on getting married anytime soon
15:10Well, whatever you do, I'm sure things will work out for you
15:14Hey! You don't think I'm going to turn into a spinster, do you?
15:17Professor, you're still young
15:19I'm sure you won't have trouble finding someone when the time comes
15:22So I still look that much like a child, do I?
15:25No, I'd say you look like a charming woman
15:29Ugh, don't tease me like that
15:32Huh?
15:33What?
15:34Oh, no, it's nothing
15:35So where were you wanting to go on your trip?
15:37To my parents' homeland
15:39They're from the Yagumo region
15:40Huh? Yagumo?
15:43That place borders on the wilds, doesn't it?
15:47Yes
15:47When you get bigger, we can go and visit it together
15:52It's a far-off place called Yagumo
15:54Really?
15:55You promise we can go?
15:58Rio?
15:59Hmm?
16:00Uh, I still don't have much of a plan
16:02Without further ado
16:09Let the Academy Exhibition Tournament of our nights begin
16:13And I, unworthy servant Alfred Amuro
16:18Shall be watching over the proceedings as referee
16:21The Academy's first challenger
16:27The Academy's first challenger
16:28Rio, please, approach
16:30Hey
16:34You'd better not mess this up, commoner
16:38You'll make the rest of us look bad
16:40I will do my best to put up a satisfactory fight
16:43No one here really expects anything out of you anyway
16:46Rio!
16:50Good luck!
16:51Good luck!
16:52I am ready to begin
16:54Good
16:55And from the Royal Guard
16:57Our first challenger
16:58Charles Arbor
17:00I heard that you had enrolled in the Academy
17:07But who could have ever guessed that dirty little brat would be the kid I'd have to beat up today
17:12I owe you a debt for your care of me back then
17:15I do hope that you'll accept my apologies
17:17I only wish I could have been of more help
17:20Silence your chatter
17:22Challengers, ready!
17:28What is that stance?
17:31No shield?
17:32Is he mocking me?
17:34Let's begin!
17:39Look at him go!
17:41He's calm
17:42I'm surprised
17:43It was because of this little bastard that I was demoted five years ago
17:48Now, I'm going to humiliate you!
17:52Hold on!
17:53It's you, Kang
17:54A knife isn't holding back
17:56No!
17:58Now, Rio!
18:00Get back where you belong, you rat!
18:09Enough!
18:10Our winner from the Academy is Rio!
18:13Wait, hold a moment
18:14I let my guard down, that's all!
18:17Excuse me?
18:19Give me another chance
18:20You fool!
18:21A loss is a loss!
18:23I...
18:23I know that
18:24Listen, Charles
18:25If you are indeed an honorable member of the Royal Guard
18:28You will accept your loss here
18:30And take your leave
18:31Fine
18:34I admit my defeat
18:36Thank you for the match, sir
18:38Very good
18:40That was great!
18:41I look forward to seeing that boy's future play out
18:54Blast that nasty urchin!
19:02I would have won if I were serious about it
19:04Is it so terrible to let the youth bask in the glory of their win occasionally?
19:09You were the only one kind enough to do that
19:11You were the only one kind enough to do that
19:12All the other knights won against the students in their matches
19:14Really, I think it's all quite childish
19:17You know what?
19:17You're right!
19:18I let that brat beat me!
19:20I knew the Proxian ambassador was classy enough to understand me
19:26Indeed
19:27And the student you had to fight against today
19:29Huh?
19:30It appeared to me as though he was quite agile
19:32I hate that kid
19:35It was said that he might have had something to do with Princess Flora's kidnapping a few years back
19:40I had to investigate him
19:42Let me tell you, I did my damn job
19:44But in the end, he never cracked
19:46Really?
19:48You could say your match today was a matter of fate?
19:51Yeah, if you say so
19:53Interesting
19:56That could have been him
19:59I hope he gets here soon
20:04We have to do something fun to celebrate
20:06Ryo!
20:11Where's he heading off to?
20:16Um, here, this is for you
20:18What is it?
20:19It's about the match
20:20Yesterday
20:21I thought you looked amazing
20:23Please, just read it
20:27Hey!
20:29Are you okay?
20:30Are you okay?
20:31Are you okay?
20:32Are you okay?
20:33Are you okay?
20:34Are you okay?
20:35Are you okay?
20:36Are you okay?
20:37Are you okay?
20:38Are you okay?
20:39Are you okay?
20:40Are you okay?
20:41Are you okay?
20:42Are you okay?
20:43Are you okay?
20:45Are you okay?
20:46Are you okay?
20:47Are you okay?
20:48Are you okay?
20:49Are you okay?
20:50Are you okay?
20:51Are you okay?
20:52Are you okay?
20:53Are you okay?
20:54Are you okay?
20:55Are you okay?
