WEBVTT
00:06.630 --> 00:09.460
I haven't been here in ages.
00:09.460 --> 00:12.050
Not since my court sorcerer exam, I suppose.
00:16.780 --> 00:20.750
I really do feel that a Firebird
without warning is in poor taste,
00:21.660 --> 00:24.340
Lady Lydia Leinster.
00:24.340 --> 00:26.500
I appreciate the advice.
00:26.500 --> 00:29.610
More importantly, who do you think
you are to keep me waiting?
00:29.610 --> 00:32.340
I'm not even late, am I?
00:32.340 --> 00:34.840
We haven't seen each other in so long.
You could show a little re—
00:34.840 --> 00:38.630
You ought to have been in
your seat before I got here.
00:38.630 --> 00:42.090
And my magic would never
work on you, anyway.
00:42.090 --> 00:44.410
You can dispel it without breaking a sweat.
00:44.770 --> 00:48.580
Spout any more nonsense, and I'll
give you a taste of my sword!
00:48.580 --> 00:50.510
I'd rather you didn't.
00:50.510 --> 00:56.010
I don't stand a chance of besting you
at swordplay in this life or any other.
00:59.440 --> 01:00.700
I'm sorry.
01:01.640 --> 01:04.630
For what, pray tell?
01:04.630 --> 01:06.060
Spell it out for me.
01:06.380 --> 01:09.480
For taking a tutoring job
without consulting you.
01:10.060 --> 01:11.150
And what else?
01:11.150 --> 01:14.190
For not coming to see you between my
return to the royal capital and today.
01:15.560 --> 01:16.610
And what else?
01:17.770 --> 01:21.280
For not telling you why I failed
my court sorcerer exam.
01:23.030 --> 01:24.160
That will do.
01:31.350 --> 01:32.340
Whoa there.
01:34.670 --> 01:37.480
I've been so lonely, you have no idea.
01:37.480 --> 01:38.680
Sorry.
01:39.130 --> 01:42.330
Never leave without telling me again.
01:42.330 --> 01:44.500
If you must go, take me with you.
01:44.500 --> 01:46.100
I'll do my best.
01:47.730 --> 01:49.130
Ow! That hurts!
01:49.130 --> 01:50.320
You'll break my bones!
01:50.320 --> 01:56.500
I think you meant, "No, I'll never do that again.
Please forgive me, Mistress."
01:56.500 --> 01:58.400
Since when am I your servant?
01:59.640 --> 02:01.370
But... sorry.
02:02.020 --> 02:02.920
Unbelievable.
02:04.980 --> 02:06.220
Anna.
02:06.220 --> 02:08.260
I've brought tea.
02:08.260 --> 02:11.170
I beg your pardon. I didn't mean to intrude.
02:11.170 --> 02:13.530
No, it's quite all right.
02:13.530 --> 02:15.300
Isn't it, Lydia?
02:15.300 --> 02:16.150
Yes.
02:19.210 --> 02:24.560
My lady racked her brain to
choose that dress for today.
02:19.300 --> 02:24.220
Episode
02:19.300 --> 02:24.220
The Royal Academy at Last, Part 1
02:24.560 --> 02:26.840
I can hear you.
02:27.760 --> 02:29.330
If you'll excuse me.
02:30.340 --> 02:32.010
Now, sit down.
02:32.530 --> 02:33.610
Oh, right.
02:33.610 --> 02:35.280
I got you a souvenir.
02:36.030 --> 02:37.360
Here you are.
02:39.240 --> 02:41.160
Th-Thank you.
02:41.160 --> 02:44.590
And that dress looks lovely on you.
02:44.590 --> 02:45.580
You're beautiful.
02:46.340 --> 02:47.960
Y-You don't say?
02:48.820 --> 02:51.480
I know I wrote it in one of my letters,
02:51.480 --> 02:55.020
but congratulations again on
passing the court sorcerer exam.
02:55.020 --> 02:58.170
And I hear you'll be graduating from the
university at the top of our class.
02:58.860 --> 02:59.820
Yes.
03:00.340 --> 03:02.960
I assume you'll attend our graduation?
03:03.540 --> 03:05.930
The professor told me to,
03:05.930 --> 03:08.020
but to be honest, I'm nervous.
03:08.020 --> 03:13.020
Has anyone ever graduated second in their
class without a job lined up before?
03:13.940 --> 03:16.230
Do you plan to continue tutoring?
03:16.590 --> 03:19.140
No, I wouldn't dream of it.
03:19.140 --> 03:21.110
I'm not up to the task.
03:21.700 --> 03:22.740
Oh.
03:23.230 --> 03:24.660
Thank you for the tea.
03:24.660 --> 03:26.480
So, what do you think?
03:26.480 --> 03:27.880
What do I think about what?
03:27.880 --> 03:30.900
About Tina, of course.
03:30.900 --> 03:34.360
How did she become able to
work magic so suddenly?
03:35.010 --> 03:37.230
Oh, well, it's complicated.
03:37.230 --> 03:40.370
It sounds like there's something
you haven't told me yet.
03:40.370 --> 03:42.760
I don't mean to hide anything from you.
03:42.760 --> 03:43.430
It's just...
03:43.890 --> 03:47.850
there are things about Tina's mana
that I'd like to study with care.
03:49.700 --> 03:52.300
So, what about the entrance exam?
03:52.300 --> 03:53.440
Feeling confident?
03:53.910 --> 03:57.820
Yes. They must have started
on the written exam by now.
03:59.450 --> 04:01.840
Tina will place first this year.
04:02.400 --> 04:05.570
And Ellie will certainly place high.
04:05.570 --> 04:06.740
Oh?
04:06.740 --> 04:09.720
Aren't you forgetting my sister,
whom I trained personally?
04:09.720 --> 04:12.140
First place might be a bit
too much to hope for.
04:12.140 --> 04:15.580
I do think Lynne is an excellent student,
but she's met her match.
04:15.960 --> 04:20.700
Tina activated an advanced spell almost
as soon as she learned to do magic.
04:20.700 --> 04:24.510
I only know one other genius of her caliber.
04:24.510 --> 04:27.380
We'll learn the results in a week.
04:27.380 --> 04:28.680
I can hardly wait.
04:29.140 --> 04:30.140
Me neither.
04:30.420 --> 04:33.850
And don't forget to call on me
here every day from now on!
04:35.390 --> 04:36.520
Every day?
04:36.520 --> 04:39.430
That's an order! Are we clear?!
04:39.430 --> 04:41.550
Yes, yes. Crystal clear.
04:41.550 --> 04:43.320
One "yes" is enough!
04:43.320 --> 04:44.320
Yes.
04:45.370 --> 04:46.460
Much better.
04:47.920 --> 04:50.910
I never dreamed it would turn out like this.
04:51.380 --> 04:53.820
Tina placed first on the exam,
04:53.820 --> 04:57.080
and within reach of the all-time high score.
04:57.460 --> 04:59.500
Ellie passed with honors as well.
05:00.010 --> 05:02.830
You've never ceased to surprise me,
05:02.830 --> 05:06.310
but I couldn't have asked for better results.
05:06.310 --> 05:08.560
They're both excellent students.
05:08.560 --> 05:10.050
They deserve your praise.
05:11.220 --> 05:13.470
Well done, both of you.
05:14.020 --> 05:15.390
Thank you very much.
05:15.920 --> 05:19.560
Tina, you've done our house proud.
05:20.760 --> 05:22.270
Father...
05:22.870 --> 05:26.890
Allen, you have my sincere gratitude.
05:26.890 --> 05:28.680
On that subject,
05:28.680 --> 05:31.660
would you be willing to
stay on as a private tutor?
05:33.500 --> 05:36.490
While I truly appreciate the offer,
05:36.490 --> 05:38.250
I must decline.
05:38.250 --> 05:39.140
What?!
05:39.140 --> 05:41.170
But why, sir?
05:41.450 --> 05:42.980
Well...
05:42.980 --> 05:46.800
If you're concerned about the
royal family, you needn't be.
05:46.800 --> 05:52.040
I hold you blameless for the incident
at your court sorcerer exam.
05:52.040 --> 05:53.830
You knew about that, then?
05:53.830 --> 05:56.340
I am a duke.
05:56.340 --> 05:58.850
Serious trouble reaches my ears.
05:59.210 --> 06:04.270
Y-You, um, took the court
sorcerer exam, then, sir?
06:04.270 --> 06:05.690
I did.
06:06.100 --> 06:10.020
I hear you placed first on the
written and the interview,
06:10.020 --> 06:12.600
but last on the practical.
06:12.600 --> 06:14.490
That explains why you failed.
06:14.490 --> 06:17.780
F-Failed?! Mr. Allen failed?!
06:17.780 --> 06:19.040
That can't be!
06:19.040 --> 06:22.130
If he ended up in last place,
no one alive could pass!
06:22.130 --> 06:27.010
Are the examiners such a gaggle of
fools that they can't see that?!
06:28.640 --> 06:29.680
Tina...
06:30.370 --> 06:36.130
The examiner who faced Allen in the
practical was Second Prince Gerard.
06:36.130 --> 06:39.510
I hear that he taunted
Allen before the exam,
06:39.510 --> 06:43.360
including insults aimed
at his family and Lydia.
06:43.620 --> 06:46.000
Duke Walter, I think that's enough about—
06:46.000 --> 06:47.060
I want to know!
06:47.060 --> 06:48.480
S-So do I!
06:50.120 --> 06:53.980
In the exam, Allen dismantled
all of the prince's spells,
06:53.980 --> 06:56.640
then trounced him in a sword fight as well.
06:56.640 --> 06:59.750
The prince protested that
he had shown "disrespect."
07:00.340 --> 07:02.790
Unable to disregard the prince,
07:02.790 --> 07:08.170
the examiners ultimately elected
not to grade Allen's performance.
07:08.170 --> 07:09.970
No...
07:10.680 --> 07:12.420
I have no regrets.
07:12.420 --> 07:16.380
Not even about giving up your chance
of a court sorcerer position?
07:16.380 --> 07:19.980
Surely you'd dreamed of that since
you first enrolled in the academy.
07:22.310 --> 07:24.150
I'm an orphan.
07:25.770 --> 07:28.180
I don't know who my birth parents were.
07:28.180 --> 07:30.980
The parents and sister I have
now are of the Wolf Clan,
07:30.980 --> 07:32.650
not blood relations of mine.
07:33.300 --> 07:38.340
Even so, they raised me with
care and gave me their love.
07:39.430 --> 07:43.310
And Lydia... spares a thought
or two for me as well.
07:43.310 --> 07:48.960
I'm not so mature that I could hear them
insulted and pass it off with a smile.
07:50.800 --> 07:56.490
But I don't wish to trouble the people
I owe so much over this matter.
07:56.490 --> 08:00.390
If your resolve is that firm,
I won't stop you.
08:00.390 --> 08:02.680
But I'd like you to remember this:
08:03.120 --> 08:05.780
The Howards are your friends.
08:05.780 --> 08:07.600
We will aid you.
08:09.630 --> 08:10.940
Thank you.
08:10.940 --> 08:12.110
I...
08:12.410 --> 08:13.780
I don't like it!
08:14.130 --> 08:17.360
I won't say goodbye to Mr. Allen! I refuse!
08:19.630 --> 08:20.300
Tina!
08:20.300 --> 08:21.540
My lady!
08:28.910 --> 08:30.590
My, my.
08:33.510 --> 08:35.630
Tina, where are you?!
08:35.630 --> 08:36.560
Tina!
08:45.230 --> 08:46.190
Tina.
08:47.080 --> 08:49.020
So this is where you've been.
08:52.160 --> 08:55.900
Are you really... going to resign?
08:55.900 --> 08:59.990
Yes. You'll both be fine without me now.
08:59.990 --> 09:01.660
That won't do!
09:01.660 --> 09:02.540
It just won't!
09:02.990 --> 09:07.210
Because... because now I know!
09:07.830 --> 09:09.300
What do you know?
09:13.530 --> 09:17.090
I may resign, but I'll always be your tutor.
09:17.090 --> 09:19.450
If you ever need me, I'll come running.
09:20.010 --> 09:24.310
Do you mean that? Really truly?
09:24.310 --> 09:25.060
I do.
09:26.360 --> 09:29.620
Then, before you go...
09:49.960 --> 09:52.210
Oh dear. I saw the whole thing.
09:52.880 --> 09:54.500
P-Professor?!
09:54.500 --> 09:57.840
If Lydia were here, you'd be a dead man.
09:57.840 --> 10:00.890
Walter won't take this lying down, either.
10:00.890 --> 10:03.190
Allen, you have your work cut out for you.
10:05.160 --> 10:08.080
Wh-Why do you look so pleased about this?!
10:08.080 --> 10:12.160
Because it will spare one of
my dear students a trip home.
10:12.160 --> 10:13.700
I'm saying this for your own good:
10:13.700 --> 10:17.110
Do as Tina says and stay on as her tutor.
10:18.670 --> 10:22.030
Agree and my lips will remain sealed.
10:22.030 --> 10:24.660
I-Is that a threat?!
10:24.660 --> 10:26.850
As your academic advisor,
10:26.850 --> 10:31.080
I simply can't bear to
see your talent wasted.
10:31.080 --> 10:33.780
Professor, don't tell me...
10:33.780 --> 10:35.340
You set me up, didn't you?
10:35.340 --> 10:37.620
I wouldn't dream of it.
10:37.620 --> 10:40.430
Walter merely mentioned that
he would be speaking to you,
10:40.430 --> 10:43.720
so I advised him to include Tina in the meeting.
10:44.650 --> 10:47.390
Here's the contract for your rehiring.
10:47.700 --> 10:49.560
Your signature, if you please.
10:58.870 --> 11:01.740
Aren't you glad, Lady Tina?!
11:01.740 --> 11:04.980
To think we finally get to
wear these uniforms!
11:04.980 --> 11:07.290
Yes, to think...
11:09.560 --> 11:11.360
Is something the matter?
11:11.870 --> 11:14.020
N-N-N-Nothing at all!
11:14.020 --> 11:17.480
You've been acting a little
odd for a while now,
11:17.480 --> 11:19.770
staring into space and sighing...
11:19.770 --> 11:23.400
I'm preoccupied with my
entrance ceremony address!
11:23.400 --> 11:25.430
Is that really all there is to it?
11:27.150 --> 11:27.970
Come in.
11:28.760 --> 11:30.390
Tina, Ellie!
11:30.900 --> 11:32.810
Stella!
11:33.180 --> 11:35.360
You both look so grown-up.
11:35.360 --> 11:37.680
N-Not as grown-up as you.
11:40.720 --> 11:42.860
I've been dying to see you.
11:42.860 --> 11:45.900
You didn't even come home
for the winter holidays.
11:45.900 --> 11:48.090
I've been worried sick.
11:48.090 --> 11:49.620
I'm sorry.
11:49.620 --> 11:51.380
As I wrote in my letters,
11:51.380 --> 11:54.720
I've had my hands full with
student council business.
11:54.720 --> 11:58.140
You're serving as president,
isn't that right?
11:58.140 --> 12:00.260
I'm so proud of you!
12:00.260 --> 12:01.920
Thank you, Ellie.
12:02.810 --> 12:05.220
Have you already seen Father?
12:05.220 --> 12:07.650
No, not yet.
12:07.650 --> 12:11.480
I thought I would wait until after
your exams were over to call on him.
12:12.220 --> 12:14.450
Congratulations on passing, both of you.
12:14.450 --> 12:17.440
I'm so impressed that you placed first
12:17.440 --> 12:20.110
when you've only just learned to do magic!
12:20.110 --> 12:22.280
All thanks to my tutor!
12:22.280 --> 12:24.980
You always mentioned him in your letters.
12:24.980 --> 12:26.920
Especially his mean streak.
12:26.920 --> 12:29.660
I'd like to meet him and
express my gratitude.
12:29.660 --> 12:32.900
He'll be at the entrance ceremony!
12:32.900 --> 12:34.520
I look forward to seeing him there.
12:34.520 --> 12:36.680
Do you have time today?
12:36.680 --> 12:39.140
When will you go back to the dorms?
12:39.140 --> 12:41.040
I can stay until late this evening.
12:41.040 --> 12:43.440
In the meantime, we have
so much catching up to do.
12:43.440 --> 12:44.840
Yes!
12:57.060 --> 12:59.860
This will be our school from now on.
12:59.860 --> 13:01.360
I-It will, won't it?
13:01.680 --> 13:04.000
Congratulations, girls.
13:04.000 --> 13:05.780
Good morning.
13:06.320 --> 13:09.380
Good morning, Allen, sir!
13:09.380 --> 13:11.700
Good morning...
13:12.440 --> 13:15.390
I see that you've dressed
for the occasion, sir.
13:15.390 --> 13:19.380
Lydia threatened to
incinerate me if I didn't.
13:19.930 --> 13:22.360
I live in the working quarter,
13:22.360 --> 13:25.350
so it took courage to go out in this.
13:25.350 --> 13:27.260
Y-You look fabulous in it, sir!
13:27.750 --> 13:30.260
Huh? Lady Tina?
13:30.260 --> 13:32.390
I-It's nothing!
13:34.350 --> 13:37.140
Congratulations on starting school.
13:37.140 --> 13:39.940
Those uniforms become you both wonderfully.
13:39.940 --> 13:42.180
Oh, your ribbon is crooked.
13:42.180 --> 13:43.960
Y-Yessir!
13:43.960 --> 13:45.660
That's better.
13:45.660 --> 13:48.300
Thank you mery vuch.
13:48.840 --> 13:50.200
U-Um...
13:50.200 --> 13:51.380
Yes?
13:51.380 --> 13:55.530
I heard you're going to stay on as our tutor.
13:55.530 --> 13:57.960
I'm so, so glad!
13:57.960 --> 14:00.210
I'm honored to hear you say so.
14:00.210 --> 14:02.630
I hope we'll have many
more lessons together.
14:02.900 --> 14:04.580
Y-Yessir!
14:04.580 --> 14:08.300
But what made you reconsider?
14:08.590 --> 14:12.470
Oh, well... This and that.
14:12.470 --> 14:16.660
Now, girls, it's nearly time.
14:16.660 --> 14:17.510
Yes'm!
14:18.030 --> 14:19.390
Sir...
14:19.950 --> 14:21.940
You have no need to worry.
14:21.940 --> 14:23.980
I'll be watching from the audience.
14:23.980 --> 14:26.320
Good luck with your speech.
14:27.110 --> 14:28.060
Right.
14:30.180 --> 14:34.830
'Til later, Allen, sir! Grandma!
14:36.440 --> 14:38.750
Oh, Dear Brother!
14:39.070 --> 14:40.450
Hello, Lynne.
14:40.450 --> 14:42.860
Good morning to you, Dear Brother.
14:42.860 --> 14:45.420
You look positively marvelous!
14:45.740 --> 14:47.000
Thank you.
14:47.000 --> 14:50.650
But I wish you wouldn't call me that.
It invites misunderstandings.
14:50.650 --> 14:52.030
Why, Allen...
14:52.890 --> 14:55.420
Duchess Lisa. It's been too long.
14:55.420 --> 15:00.100
What's that? Perhaps I'm
losing my hearing with age.
15:00.680 --> 15:02.480
One more time, now.
15:03.140 --> 15:04.640
Lisa.
15:04.640 --> 15:05.890
Much better.
15:05.890 --> 15:08.420
You're practically my son.
15:08.420 --> 15:11.090
Stop standing on ceremony.
15:11.090 --> 15:12.810
I appreciate the sentiment,
15:12.810 --> 15:15.280
but putting it like that
invites misunderstandings.
15:15.700 --> 15:16.730
I beg your pardon?
15:16.730 --> 15:18.130
It's nothing.
15:19.220 --> 15:25.250
Lydia left to be appointed a court sorceress
this morning, grumbling all the while.
15:25.250 --> 15:29.300
She was sulking about how she "wanted
to attend the entrance ceremony, too."
15:29.840 --> 15:32.840
She really must have wanted
to see Lynne's big day.
15:32.840 --> 15:35.260
I don't think that was her only reason.
15:36.500 --> 15:39.220
Oh, it's nothing of consequence.
15:39.220 --> 15:42.710
I will commit today's events to a video orb
15:42.710 --> 15:44.800
for Lady Lydia to view at her pleasure.
15:51.440 --> 15:53.370
My lady, calm down.
15:53.370 --> 15:55.620
I... I know. I'll be fine.
15:55.620 --> 15:58.560
Oh, here comes the rain.
15:58.560 --> 16:00.370
At least it isn't snow.
16:00.800 --> 16:03.360
I can't stand the cold.
16:03.990 --> 16:07.780
A-Aren't you Duke Leinster's...?
16:07.780 --> 16:10.380
She's Lady Lydia's sister, Lynne.
16:10.380 --> 16:12.840
I can't stand the heat!
16:16.110 --> 16:18.440
You snatched the top spot from me,
16:18.440 --> 16:21.000
but there's no need to choose between us.
16:21.000 --> 16:25.030
I'd be happy to speak in your place if
the thought of it makes you so nervous,
16:25.030 --> 16:26.270
Miss First Place.
16:26.270 --> 16:29.170
This is my miracle! Mr. Allen gave it to me,
16:29.170 --> 16:31.190
and I refuse to give it up!
16:34.030 --> 16:36.170
It will start any moment now.
16:36.170 --> 16:37.040
Yes.
16:39.630 --> 16:41.120
Is that...
16:42.280 --> 16:43.250
Caren?!
16:43.770 --> 16:45.990
Why, there's your sister.
16:45.990 --> 16:48.220
I see she's on the student council.
16:48.220 --> 16:49.920
I had no idea.
16:54.930 --> 16:59.680
The Royal Academy matriculation
ceremony will now commence.
16:59.680 --> 17:02.960
I will serve as your master of ceremonies.
17:02.960 --> 17:06.230
My name is Caren, and I am vice
president of the student council.
17:06.610 --> 17:10.430
As you can see, I am of the Wolf Clan.
17:11.010 --> 17:12.730
I appreciate your understanding.
17:12.730 --> 17:13.920
What is the world coming to?
17:13.920 --> 17:16.630
Beastfolk in the Royal Academy?
17:17.870 --> 17:21.720
Mr. Allen, you look positively menacing.
17:21.720 --> 17:23.750
I'm sorry. I couldn't help it.
17:24.280 --> 17:27.870
The House of Leinster will deal
with them privately. Have no fear.
17:28.180 --> 17:30.690
Oh, you needn't go that far.
17:30.690 --> 17:32.550
What is she planning to do to them?
17:32.980 --> 17:35.970
Please turn your attention to the sky.
17:35.970 --> 17:36.910
What's that?
17:36.910 --> 17:38.020
Someone's floating in the air.
17:38.020 --> 17:38.890
What's going on?
17:43.720 --> 17:47.100
The gentleman who just raised
a barrier against the rain
17:47.100 --> 17:50.760
is our headmaster, Lord Rodde.
17:51.280 --> 17:53.730
He will address you shortly.
17:53.730 --> 17:56.240
Thank you, Headmaster.
17:59.130 --> 18:02.930
We will now hear from a representative
of the incoming class.
18:03.490 --> 18:04.700
Tina Howard.
18:04.700 --> 18:06.620
H-Here!
18:15.840 --> 18:18.170
She's a bundle of nerves.
18:20.430 --> 18:21.720
My lady!
18:23.720 --> 18:25.350
S-Sorry about that!
18:27.220 --> 18:28.860
It's all right.
18:28.860 --> 18:30.020
Good luck.
18:30.020 --> 18:31.760
R-Right!
18:46.580 --> 18:51.540
I am Tina Howard, and I have the honor
of addressing you all this year.
18:51.540 --> 18:55.710
I hope you will pardon me for
that disgraceful display.
18:56.020 --> 18:59.350
To tell the truth, when I
learned I would be speaking,
18:59.350 --> 19:00.970
I felt conflicted.
19:01.560 --> 19:04.600
I worried whether I had
any right to address you,
19:04.600 --> 19:09.140
because, as many of you
no doubt already know,
19:09.140 --> 19:11.790
although I was born into
the Ducal House of Howard,
19:11.790 --> 19:15.570
I could not cast a single spell
until my thirteenth year.
19:16.320 --> 19:18.740
To be frank, I had given up.
19:19.140 --> 19:21.380
I thought I had no right to dream,
19:21.380 --> 19:26.240
that I had no choice but to live out
my days without extravagant hopes.
19:27.410 --> 19:30.160
Yet here I am now.
19:30.560 --> 19:36.030
I, who could do no magic until
three short months ago...
19:36.030 --> 19:38.130
I wonder if I'm dreaming,
19:38.720 --> 19:44.380
if perhaps I'll wake up in the room
where I used to cry in secret.
19:45.010 --> 19:49.590
I learned magic thanks to a person I met.
19:50.150 --> 19:52.360
I'm grateful to him,
19:52.360 --> 19:55.370
so grateful that I could
never thank him enough.
19:56.350 --> 20:01.000
I have always dreamed of
being able to do magic.
20:01.000 --> 20:04.820
But that alone can't satisfy me now.
20:04.820 --> 20:09.120
I want to learn more spells.
More and more and more!
20:09.470 --> 20:12.400
Anything to reach that person.
20:12.400 --> 20:15.550
Anything to repay him in some way!
20:15.550 --> 20:20.980
So that one day, I can pass on the
miracle I've received to someone else!
20:21.860 --> 20:26.190
I'm chasing that new dream now.
20:26.190 --> 20:31.470
I probably can't imagine how hard
and steep the road ahead will be,
20:32.400 --> 20:35.020
but I can't give up.
20:35.020 --> 20:37.850
Because now I know:
20:38.380 --> 20:40.530
dreams can come true!
20:44.770 --> 20:48.200
My new classmates,
let us all strive together.
20:49.110 --> 20:50.320
Finally...
20:53.380 --> 20:56.180
I will catch up to you someday.
20:56.180 --> 20:58.080
I hope you're prepared.
21:00.030 --> 21:02.800
Thank you all for listening!
21:09.900 --> 21:11.470
Lydia will be jealous.
21:11.470 --> 21:15.710
Next, a few words from Student
Council President Stella Howard.
21:20.040 --> 21:22.900
I am Stella Howard, president
of the student council.
21:22.900 --> 21:29.030
Let me congratulate all our new students
and their guardians on making it here.
21:29.030 --> 21:31.700
So that's Tina's older sister.
21:32.260 --> 21:38.370
I needn't tell you that we have the highest
standards of any school in the kingdom.
21:38.990 --> 21:45.080
As incoming students, you must feel proud
to have qualified to learn here.
21:45.760 --> 21:48.380
But this is only the beginning.
21:49.090 --> 21:51.680
Your true journey starts this very moment.
21:52.690 --> 21:56.820
I don't mean to intimidate you,
but our school is a most demanding place.
21:56.820 --> 22:01.360
Only half of you will manage to graduate
in the recommended three years.
22:01.360 --> 22:05.010
It is a fact that challenging
studies and intense training
22:05.010 --> 22:08.780
dash the hopes and dreams of many.
22:09.290 --> 22:14.260
But this is also a place that will
help you grow by leaps and bounds.
22:14.260 --> 22:19.260
When I arrived here, I was closer to
the bottom than the top of my class.
22:19.260 --> 22:22.210
Yes, even though I am Duke
Howard's eldest daughter.
22:22.690 --> 22:28.190
But now I stand before you as
president of our student council.
22:28.770 --> 22:33.390
I guarantee that if you keep moving
forward, a way will open to you.
22:33.720 --> 22:37.200
Never give up and keep forging ahead.
22:37.920 --> 22:42.110
I look forward to meeting you
at school with all my heart.
22:46.020 --> 22:49.190
Stella is a classic eldest daughter.
22:49.190 --> 22:52.650
Lydia could use some of her earnestness.
22:52.650 --> 22:57.250
Mistress, Lady Lydia is
as earnest as can be.
22:57.980 --> 23:01.420
Next, I would like to ask the
headmaster to speak a few words.
23:01.820 --> 23:05.180
The headmaster is infamous
for his long speeches.
23:05.180 --> 23:09.140
Be careful, lest you fall
under his sleeping spell.
23:09.140 --> 23:10.590
He hasn't changed, then.
23:11.310 --> 23:12.820
Excuse me.
23:12.820 --> 23:13.790
Ma'am.
23:16.000 --> 23:19.020
I beg your pardons, but I bear
a message from the palace.
23:19.020 --> 23:20.860
Lady Lydia has...
23:22.600 --> 23:26.110
Do you realize what you're doing?!
23:26.110 --> 23:27.800
H-Hey, Lydia...
23:27.800 --> 23:29.640
Out of the goodness of my heart,
23:29.640 --> 23:32.600
I usually let people choose
how they want to die,
23:33.620 --> 23:36.160
but you lot don't get a choice.
23:36.660 --> 23:39.040
Get ready to be slashed and burned.
