WEBVTT

00:15.080 --> 00:16.870
A fellow hitman...?

00:18.000 --> 00:20.500
The Silent Assassin!

00:21.880 --> 00:25.380
Just my luck to end up competing
with a big shot for this job.

00:25.460 --> 00:26.510
However...

00:26.880 --> 00:29.340
I'm not letting you have my target!

00:30.640 --> 00:35.010
You and I both knew what we signed up
for when we got into this business!

01:02.120 --> 01:03.170
Die!

01:27.150 --> 01:29.530
<i>I'm sure I got in more attacks...</i>

01:30.530 --> 01:33.950
<i>But I guess that doesn't</i>
<i>matter against this guy.</i>

01:37.910 --> 01:40.910
<i>I swear... This is just my luck.</i>

02:05.600 --> 02:06.810
Hey, hey, Tsukasa-kun!

02:06.900 --> 02:10.230
We're going shopping and hitting up
a cafe after school! Wanna come?

02:10.320 --> 02:12.780
Sorry, I need to stay
and finalize the club budgets.

02:12.860 --> 02:15.700
You're always busy. I guess that's
how it is for the student council.

02:15.780 --> 02:17.120
It's too bad.

02:17.200 --> 02:18.450
I'll join you next time.

02:18.530 --> 02:20.750
Thanks as always, Hosoyama.

02:20.830 --> 02:22.960
Shiori's always ready to help.

02:23.080 --> 02:25.540
I just can't stand letting things lie.

02:25.620 --> 02:27.290
What's wrong, Yuki?

02:28.000 --> 02:30.710
Y'know those dumb jokes
Tsujimura-sensei slips in during English?

02:30.800 --> 02:32.970
I dunno whether I'm supposed to laugh or what.

02:33.090 --> 02:35.010
<i>That's</i> what's been on your mind?

02:35.590 --> 02:37.640
You've got practice, right, Asahina-kun?

02:37.720 --> 02:40.120
Yeah. I need to test out my new bamboo sword.

02:46.020 --> 02:47.110
CHAPTER ONE: THE REAL HERO

02:47.230 --> 02:49.190
Hey, I read that one too!

02:49.270 --> 02:50.690
You like isekai stories?

02:50.780 --> 02:53.650
I'm just going through
whatever I can read for free.

02:54.740 --> 02:56.780
Then lemme know if you've got recs.

02:56.860 --> 02:58.030
Free ones, of course!

02:58.820 --> 03:01.080
Who's that guy Nanase-kun was talking to?

03:01.160 --> 03:02.580
Oda Akira.

03:02.660 --> 03:05.370
Huh? Has he always been in our class?

03:05.460 --> 03:07.710
He's never been one to make an impression.

03:09.090 --> 03:11.960
<i>I was well aware of how</i>
<i>I faded into the background,</i>

03:12.090 --> 03:17.180
<i>so someone talking to me in class</i>
<i>felt like a minor crisis.</i>

03:17.760 --> 03:21.600
<i>However, that feeling would soon pass...</i>

03:22.260 --> 03:26.140
<i>only to be replaced</i>
<i>by an actual, genuine crisis.</i>

03:58.760 --> 04:00.260
Was that some kind of attack?

04:00.340 --> 04:01.350
Where are we?

04:01.430 --> 04:03.310
- Weren't we in the classroom?
- I'm so glad we're all alive.

04:03.390 --> 04:04.600
Ladies and gentlemen!

04:04.680 --> 04:07.600
His Royal Majesty would like a word with you.

04:07.690 --> 04:10.600
Lend him your ears.

04:13.690 --> 04:14.900
Are they in costume?

04:14.980 --> 04:17.740
What have you done to us?!

04:17.820 --> 04:19.860
Quiet, please!

04:20.320 --> 04:24.160
Welcome, and thank you for answering
our call from your faraway realm.

04:24.240 --> 04:26.290
This world is called Morrigan,

04:26.370 --> 04:30.580
and you stand in the human kingdom of Retice,
the largest nation on the human continent.

04:30.670 --> 04:31.960
"Human kingdom"?

04:32.250 --> 04:35.880
We are currently under attack
from the demons.

04:36.380 --> 04:40.930
But only a hero from another world possesses
the power to defeat the Demon Lord.

04:41.010 --> 04:43.220
Whoa, whoa. Are you serious?

04:43.850 --> 04:45.970
ADVENTURERS, HEROES, OVERPOWERED SKILLS
- This is just like in my isekai stories!

04:48.890 --> 04:53.560
Now then, we wish to identify
the hero among you.

04:54.940 --> 04:57.150
There will be but one.

04:57.240 --> 04:59.740
Come place your hands on this crystal ball.

04:59.820 --> 05:01.200
Me, me! I'll do it!

05:03.820 --> 05:08.870
If you say "Status" in your mind,
we shall see what your class is.

05:11.250 --> 05:12.920
Huh? It's in Japanese?

05:13.000 --> 05:15.920
DAISUKE WAKI, CLASS: ANIMAL TRAINER
- Aw, man! I'm not the hero?

05:16.000 --> 05:21.180
Yet even your starting stats far exceed
that of an average person in this world.

05:21.260 --> 05:25.640
You are sure to go down in legend
alongside the hero.

05:26.890 --> 05:29.890
YUKI UENO
CLASS: DISENCHANTER

05:30.480 --> 05:32.310
"Disenchanter"?

05:32.390 --> 05:35.860
TOMOYA TSUDA
CLASS: KNIGHT

05:38.150 --> 05:40.650
SHIORI HOSOYAMA
CLASS: HEALER

05:42.400 --> 05:43.450
I see!

05:43.530 --> 05:44.530
Me next! Me!

05:44.620 --> 05:47.030
If you say "Status" without
touching the crystal ball,

05:47.120 --> 05:50.200
you can still see your own stats
for yourselves.

05:50.290 --> 05:51.660
Status.

05:53.120 --> 05:56.170
Says I'm a wind mage. What about you?

05:56.250 --> 05:57.420
Assassin.

05:57.500 --> 05:59.920
Hey, that suits you to a T.

06:00.010 --> 06:03.970
Honestly, it took me ages to realize
you were even in our class.

06:04.050 --> 06:05.930
<i>What's going on here?</i>

06:06.010 --> 06:07.100
SHIORI HOSOYAMA, CLASS: HEALER
<i>- What's with this disparity?</i>

06:07.180 --> 06:09.600
AKIRA ODA, CLASS: ASSASSIN
<i>- What's with this disparity?</i>

06:12.850 --> 06:13.810
TSUKASA SATOU

06:13.890 --> 06:15.230
CLASS: HERO

06:15.310 --> 06:17.230
As expected of the hero!

06:17.320 --> 06:22.150
Normally, people only have around
500 attack power even at level cap.

06:22.240 --> 06:24.820
But yours is nearly double that!

06:24.910 --> 06:26.950
No surprise there.

06:27.030 --> 06:31.700
He's smart, athletic, our student council
president, and popular to boot.

06:31.790 --> 06:33.870
Those<i> are the hero's numbers?</i>

06:33.960 --> 06:37.250
<i>So it's really only mine</i>
<i>that are this weirdly high...</i>

06:37.880 --> 06:39.380
You wanna go next?

06:39.920 --> 06:42.170
Not many of us left.

06:42.630 --> 06:43.840
<i>This isn't good.</i>

06:43.920 --> 06:47.260
<i>Are they even telling the truth</i>
<i>about the so-called Demon Lord?</i>

06:47.350 --> 06:48.850
<i>I know nothing about this world.</i>

06:48.930 --> 06:52.220
<i>Revealing my abnormal stats right now</i>
<i>could prove problematic.</i>

06:53.850 --> 06:55.980
<i>But there's no worming out of this...</i>

06:56.440 --> 06:59.270
CONCEAL PRESENCE
<i>- Maybe I'll try that.</i>

06:59.770 --> 07:01.110
Conceal Presence.

07:03.280 --> 07:05.030
It'll be our turn soon...

07:05.110 --> 07:08.320
H-Huh? Where'd he go?

07:11.290 --> 07:15.960
Now that we know your classes,
we'll arrange for any equipment you need.

07:16.500 --> 07:19.500
We've readied rooms as well,
so you may retire for the night.

07:21.500 --> 07:23.840
<i>Phew, I managed to scrape through.</i>

07:38.980 --> 07:40.440
<i>Are they monitoring us?</i>

07:41.400 --> 07:44.480
<i>They must seriously be hiding something.</i>

07:56.750 --> 07:58.460
No one bothered to clean this room,

07:58.540 --> 08:01.040
so I shouldn't have to worry
about anyone showing up.

08:01.590 --> 08:02.630
Now then...

08:04.210 --> 08:06.470
This looks like something
an assassin might wear.

08:07.630 --> 08:08.630
Next up...

08:08.720 --> 08:10.720
I need information.

08:14.140 --> 08:15.890
<i>Now that I get a look at the scenery,</i>

08:16.890 --> 08:19.940
<i>we really are in another world, aren't we?</i>

08:27.530 --> 08:30.110
<i>What absurd athleticism.</i>

08:30.200 --> 08:33.620
<i>I guess I got your stereotypical</i>
<i>summoning bonus.</i>

08:35.490 --> 08:36.750
<i>Conceal Presence.</i>

08:38.290 --> 08:40.420
How's it going with the brats?

08:40.500 --> 08:43.670
They are mere children
from a world without magic.

08:43.750 --> 08:45.380
They won't be a problem.

08:45.460 --> 08:47.630
Excellent. Proceed as planned.

08:47.710 --> 08:50.430
Remember, they are not
to enter the castle archives.

08:50.510 --> 08:53.390
We can't have them learning too much.

08:53.470 --> 08:55.010
As you wish.

09:02.270 --> 09:04.320
<i>I don't know what it is you're after,</i>

09:04.400 --> 09:08.150
<i>but I do know that you people</i>
<i>are up to no good.</i>

09:11.200 --> 09:14.570
<i>I could absolutely kill him,</i>
<i>right here and now.</i>

09:32.050 --> 09:33.800
What a feast!

09:39.430 --> 09:43.440
<i>Should I dismiss my concealment</i>
<i>and tell them what I saw last night?</i>

09:43.520 --> 09:47.020
<i>But how could I get them to believe me?</i>

09:47.110 --> 09:48.440
Hear me out, guys.

09:49.440 --> 09:52.240
We've all got to be on the same page.

09:52.320 --> 09:55.740
We've apparently grown stronger
by coming to this world.

09:55.820 --> 09:59.700
So shouldn't we use that power
to help the people here?

10:00.410 --> 10:03.750
I want to go defeat the Demon Lord
like His Majesty asked.

10:03.830 --> 10:05.130
And I want your help!

10:05.210 --> 10:07.500
- Yeah, you're on!
- That's Tsukasa for you!

10:07.590 --> 10:11.380
<i>Damn, they're assuming the king</i>
<i>and the princess are our allies.</i>

10:14.010 --> 10:15.930
Attention, Squad 1!

10:18.060 --> 10:19.220
Pleased to meet you.

10:19.600 --> 10:21.120
My name is Saran Mithray.

10:22.520 --> 10:26.150
I am knight commander of Retice.
Our "Last Bastion."

10:26.230 --> 10:28.480
Though it's a bit pretentious
to say so myself, no?

10:28.570 --> 10:29.690
Well, Gilles?

10:29.770 --> 10:33.070
You're not exactly making a great
first impression here, Commander.

10:33.150 --> 10:35.410
It's fine, it's fine.

10:36.280 --> 10:40.540
Now then, my little heroes,
today begins your training.

10:40.620 --> 10:43.710
In one month's time, you'll enter
a dungeon to test your mettle.

10:44.500 --> 10:48.130
That said, I doubt you have any experience.

10:48.210 --> 10:50.380
Which is where we come in.

10:50.880 --> 10:52.050
Thank you for training us!

10:52.130 --> 10:54.170
Thank you!

10:54.260 --> 10:55.970
What am I to do about this?

10:56.050 --> 10:58.720
- For starters, I guess I need more intel.
- Squad 1, proceed to Tent D!

10:58.800 --> 11:00.010
- For starters, I guess I need more intel.
- Yessir!

11:00.970 --> 11:03.680
Gilles, you're in charge.

11:03.770 --> 11:04.810
Huh?

11:13.150 --> 11:15.320
Is something the matter?

11:15.400 --> 11:19.910
<i>I never dismissed Conceal Presence!</i>
<i>Does it have a max duration?</i>

11:19.990 --> 11:23.290
Don't worry.
Your Conceal Presence is still active.

11:25.580 --> 11:28.880
You see, my eyes happen to be
a little bit special.

11:28.960 --> 11:33.670
They're mystical, able to perceive
differences in temperature.

11:35.590 --> 11:36.680
Then we have a problem.

11:36.760 --> 11:41.970
I won't tell the king or princess,
so you can rest easy, my friend.

11:42.060 --> 11:45.180
Wait, aren't you on their side?

11:45.270 --> 11:47.890
It's complicated.

11:48.560 --> 11:51.440
Oh, but don't go telling the king that.

11:53.020 --> 11:54.190
Got it.

11:56.650 --> 11:58.660
You want to see the archives?

11:58.740 --> 12:02.530
Yeah. I know nothing about this world.

12:02.620 --> 12:04.700
Much less magic or skills.

12:05.000 --> 12:09.290
What level is your
Conceal Presence skill right now?

12:09.370 --> 12:10.420
It's maxed out.

12:10.500 --> 12:11.590
Really?

12:12.290 --> 12:16.800
But most of my other skills are only level 1,
and I have no idea how to raise them.

12:17.720 --> 12:19.510
If you'd like, I can teach you.

12:20.010 --> 12:22.470
Plus, you won't find
what you seek in the archives.

12:23.010 --> 12:25.930
<i>If I'm being honest,</i>
<i>I've been hyped this whole time.</i>

12:25.120 --> 12:29.810
<i>I'm in the kind of world</i>
<i>you only ever see in fiction.</i>

12:29.890 --> 12:30.940
<i>But...</i>

12:31.980 --> 12:36.530
I still have to find a way
to get back to my own world.

12:37.240 --> 12:38.860
My family's waiting for me.

12:38.950 --> 12:43.910
Indeed, nothing beats a life
spent with family.

12:44.410 --> 12:46.290
Do you know how I can return?

12:46.370 --> 12:48.500
Unfortunately, I do not.

12:48.580 --> 12:51.960
But you'll need to get stronger either way.

12:52.460 --> 12:55.800
If you die before you get the chance
to go home, all will be for naught.

12:55.880 --> 12:59.920
At the very least, I can help you become
an excellent assassin.

13:00.010 --> 13:03.140
I don't like accepting favors for free.

13:03.760 --> 13:07.890
Then you can pay me back
by telling me about your world.

13:08.270 --> 13:11.270
I'm itching for some novelty, in fact.

13:21.570 --> 13:23.240
I haven't introduced myself.

13:23.780 --> 13:25.080
I'm Oda Akira.

13:25.580 --> 13:27.700
Nice to meet you, Akira.

13:31.960 --> 13:37.550
Okay, so in addition to humans and demons,
this world also has elves and beastfolk.

13:37.630 --> 13:41.170
That's right. We all live
on separate continents.

13:41.720 --> 13:45.300
Hey, are you sure this is going
to help increase my skills?

13:45.390 --> 13:46.470
But of course.

13:46.810 --> 13:49.730
You can only level your class
by killing monsters,

13:50.100 --> 13:52.730
but you can level skills with training.

13:53.190 --> 13:56.610
Anyway, your world sounds fascinating.

13:57.190 --> 13:59.070
You speak of metal vessels that fly the sky

13:59.150 --> 14:02.780
and slates that instantly
transmit information worldwide.

14:02.860 --> 14:05.200
To me, they're just ordinary things.

14:05.280 --> 14:07.950
I'm starting to miss the ordinary, though.

14:11.750 --> 14:14.120
I'd say progress is satisfactory,

14:14.210 --> 14:19.170
but my workload is significant
because you're entirely focused on Akira.

14:19.250 --> 14:23.170
I mean, he's just so fun.
So are the stories of his world.

14:23.260 --> 14:25.300
It's all most fascinating.

14:25.390 --> 14:26.340
This "Japan"?

14:26.430 --> 14:29.640
Indeed, the land the first hero hailed from.

14:29.720 --> 14:32.730
What's more, the boy's
Conceal Presence skill is maxed out.

14:32.810 --> 14:33.980
Cameras can't capture him.

14:34.060 --> 14:38.570
It's max level? But only the very
first hero ever achieved that!

14:39.980 --> 14:42.240
Speak of the devil, I guess.

14:42.320 --> 14:44.450
Then I shall take my leave.

14:47.620 --> 14:50.160
I happen to crave new knowledge myself.

14:50.240 --> 14:53.960
I've been sneaking into
the archives every night to read,

14:54.080 --> 14:56.210
and I found this scary little book.

14:56.500 --> 14:58.340
I suppose it would be quite scary.

14:58.420 --> 15:00.750
It contains plans for a coup.

15:00.840 --> 15:05.590
I wrote it myself and disguised
it as a recipe book to hide it there.

15:07.760 --> 15:10.720
I knew you would find it eventually.

15:11.770 --> 15:13.980
Our king is broken beyond repair.

15:14.430 --> 15:18.730
He's willing to pay a horrific price
to change the rules of our world.

15:22.110 --> 15:23.940
We cannot stand for it.

15:24.820 --> 15:25.900
However...

15:26.400 --> 15:29.780
We knights owe a debt to the royal family.

15:30.410 --> 15:34.660
Reading it, I could tell you're after
a peaceful end to his reign.

15:34.750 --> 15:37.460
Perceptive as ever, Akira.

15:38.170 --> 15:40.630
This would be easier if I'd killed him.

15:40.710 --> 15:42.550
I have no ties to this world.

15:45.630 --> 15:49.390
I snuck into his study the very night
we were summoned to this world.

15:49.890 --> 15:53.430
He had no idea I was right behind him.

15:54.180 --> 15:55.390
And yet...

15:56.310 --> 15:57.770
I couldn't do it.

15:59.060 --> 16:01.110
You made the right choice.

16:01.190 --> 16:02.150
Huh?

16:02.230 --> 16:05.400
The burden of killing a man
is a heavy one to bear.

16:05.940 --> 16:11.530
You may be an assassin, but that doesn't
mean you're obligated to murder.

16:12.580 --> 16:15.620
Spill no blood, especially if you're
to return to your world.

16:16.330 --> 16:21.960
You're right. My mother and little sister
would be disappointed if I came home a killer.

16:22.040 --> 16:28.050
Be an assassin who respects life
so that you may return to your family alive.

16:28.130 --> 16:29.930
There's no shame in that.

16:30.760 --> 16:33.510
Why are you looking out for me so much?

16:33.600 --> 16:36.730
You didn't have to tell me
about the coup, either.

16:36.810 --> 16:39.230
It's because I expect much from you.

16:39.310 --> 16:41.650
And I'm not just talking about your stats.

16:41.730 --> 16:44.900
Upon being summoned,
you didn't go with the flow.

16:44.980 --> 16:47.740
You used your brain and decided
the best course of action.

16:48.700 --> 16:54.080
Only one who has endured much
and overcome it all is capable of that.

16:57.120 --> 17:01.290
I've lived in the background
since I was a kid.

17:01.370 --> 17:04.000
Nobody's ever taken notice of me.

17:04.380 --> 17:06.250
What are you talking about?

17:06.800 --> 17:10.220
I'm saying this is the first time
anyone's ever sung my praises.

17:10.300 --> 17:12.470
In that case, in exchange,

17:12.550 --> 17:16.720
help me with my coup
before you return to your world.

17:16.810 --> 17:17.890
We'll keep it peaceful.

17:18.810 --> 17:20.180
I'll consider it.

17:24.310 --> 17:26.150
Your month is now up.

17:26.230 --> 17:28.740
Off to the Great Labyrinth of Kantinen we go.

17:29.110 --> 17:30.820
You kids are heroes.

17:30.900 --> 17:33.070
Walk with your heads held high.

17:34.280 --> 17:38.540
<i>They came out in droves just</i>
<i>to see us off to the local dungeon?</i>

17:45.340 --> 17:47.590
Why are you glaring at us?

17:48.800 --> 17:51.090
I'm just curious, is all.

17:51.630 --> 17:55.430
Everyone treats you
and your friends like heroes.

17:55.510 --> 17:58.890
But have you any idea what was
sacrificed to summon you here?

17:59.220 --> 18:02.190
"Sacrificed"? Sorry, I'm afraid I don't.

18:02.810 --> 18:06.860
Then let us speak again once
you uncover the answer for yourself.

18:15.820 --> 18:19.410
Something tells me this won't
be the last time we meet.

18:46.600 --> 18:48.110
Another trap?!

18:50.190 --> 18:52.440
Should we fall back, Commander Saran?

18:52.940 --> 18:55.530
Good idea. You've all done well
your first time out.

18:57.990 --> 19:01.540
O Lord, give me strength!

19:04.290 --> 19:05.330
Divine Sword!

19:12.800 --> 19:13.840
Now!

19:20.600 --> 19:21.640
More up here?

19:22.640 --> 19:25.350
This is a smoke bomb to keep monsters at bay.

19:25.850 --> 19:28.610
Please use it should you ever
find yourself in peril.

19:33.230 --> 19:34.860
Okay, that should help!

19:40.240 --> 19:42.490
No way... What gives?

19:46.620 --> 19:47.670
It can't be!

19:47.960 --> 19:49.580
A minotaur?!

19:49.670 --> 19:52.130
What's it doing on the upper floors?!

20:04.180 --> 20:05.220
What?!

20:13.190 --> 20:14.400
Akira?

20:18.070 --> 20:21.320
Don't push yourself. Your arms are broken.

20:21.950 --> 20:25.330
But if I don't protect our class, who will?

20:26.000 --> 20:28.370
And who's gonna protect <i>you</i>?!

20:28.460 --> 20:29.710
Well...

20:30.170 --> 20:34.170
The hero's power is for saving the world!

20:34.250 --> 20:37.760
Then who's going to protect all of you?

20:37.840 --> 20:40.090
We can take care of ourselves!

20:41.010 --> 20:43.850
Isn't that what we trained for?

20:45.430 --> 20:48.520
But... I'm the hero...

20:48.600 --> 20:49.690
The hero...

20:50.650 --> 20:53.610
<i>He's always been responsible,</i>
<i>but this is crazy.</i>

20:54.020 --> 20:55.650
Do we have a disenchanter here?

20:56.070 --> 20:57.690
I'm a disenchanter...

20:57.780 --> 20:58.900
Cast Dispel on him.

20:59.740 --> 21:00.780
'Kay.

21:01.910 --> 21:04.330
O baleful curse that plagues my friend...

21:04.410 --> 21:06.490
Begone from my presence!

21:08.330 --> 21:10.750
Holy crap! He really is cursed!

21:10.830 --> 21:11.880
Keep at it.

21:15.130 --> 21:16.340
Commander Saran!

21:16.420 --> 21:17.710
Akira.

21:18.630 --> 21:20.470
I'm giving you-know-what a shot.

21:21.050 --> 21:22.340
You can't mean...

21:22.680 --> 21:25.350
All so I can survive.

21:29.350 --> 21:32.520
Understood. On my signal.

21:37.480 --> 21:38.570
O Lord,

21:39.440 --> 21:43.320
smite with your light these
foes that would obstruct us!

21:43.990 --> 21:45.120
Lightning's Flash!

22:03.840 --> 22:06.430
Shadow Magic... activate!

22:08.060 --> 22:09.120
