WEBVTT
00:16.370 --> 00:18.050
You fell for it, sir!
00:18.340 --> 00:20.260
Today, victory is mine at last!
00:20.260 --> 00:23.240
Lady Tina! I think you mean "ours"!
00:23.240 --> 00:24.690
Oh! Sorry!
00:25.250 --> 00:27.730
I'm delighted to see
you're such good friends,
00:29.100 --> 00:31.160
but never take your eyes off your opponent.
00:37.480 --> 00:38.840
Wh-What just happened?!
00:38.840 --> 00:40.580
I can't see a thing!
00:43.460 --> 00:44.790
Right above you.
00:49.860 --> 00:51.800
You both lose.
00:53.280 --> 00:56.320
That was a good trap, Tina. You pass.
00:56.320 --> 00:57.920
O-Of course I do.
00:58.460 --> 01:02.810
Ellie, you close distance
faster and fiercer by the day.
01:03.780 --> 01:05.730
Thank you very much.
01:05.730 --> 01:08.500
But you both still have much to learn.
01:09.010 --> 01:13.530
You'll be facing Duke Walter's hand-picked
sorcerer in your final exam.
01:14.550 --> 01:18.100
He may even use advanced magic against you.
01:18.100 --> 01:20.710
You'll have to fight back with
everything you've got.
01:20.710 --> 01:21.450
Yes, sir!
01:21.900 --> 01:24.270
Tina, keep working on
controlling your strength.
01:24.270 --> 01:26.000
Yes, sir...
01:26.290 --> 01:28.500
We have precious little
time before your exam.
01:28.500 --> 01:31.540
I'll spend it teaching you
everything you need to know.
01:31.540 --> 01:32.520
Yes, sir!
01:33.130 --> 01:35.340
Now, that's enough for today.
03:15.810 --> 03:20.780
Episode
03:15.810 --> 03:20.780
The Final Exam
03:17.680 --> 03:20.780
Nothing beats a bath after training!
03:20.780 --> 03:22.660
Nothing at all.
03:23.030 --> 03:25.590
Our final exam's almost here.
03:25.590 --> 03:29.190
Do you think we'll really get
our act together in time?
03:29.190 --> 03:31.520
I... I'm not sure.
03:32.380 --> 03:34.360
You'll do fine, Ellie.
03:34.360 --> 03:37.540
Graham and Shelley teach you
martial arts, for one thing.
03:37.900 --> 03:40.970
Any Howard maid ought to know some!
03:40.970 --> 03:44.260
And, um, Grandma and
Grandpa are always saying
03:44.610 --> 03:47.430
how amazing you are, my lady.
03:47.700 --> 03:49.750
Mr. Allen is the amazing one.
03:49.750 --> 03:52.390
I can't let him down!
03:52.680 --> 03:54.850
M-Me neither!
03:55.330 --> 03:59.280
We'll go to the Royal Academy. Both of us.
03:59.280 --> 04:01.200
Yes! Together!
04:02.800 --> 04:04.180
Hey! Ellie?!
04:04.180 --> 04:05.600
What's wrong?!
04:10.870 --> 04:14.590
Honestly. How could you stay
in so long you got dizzy?
04:15.650 --> 04:17.670
I'm sho shorry...
04:21.940 --> 04:25.470
This spell is good for
drying hair, too, you know?
04:27.540 --> 04:29.930
I used to do this all the time.
04:29.930 --> 04:30.750
Who for?!
04:30.750 --> 04:32.020
For whom, sir?!
04:32.020 --> 04:34.090
For my sister, Caren.
04:35.300 --> 04:38.450
I know I'm biased, but she's a great kid.
04:38.450 --> 04:43.460
And she's at the academy now,
so she'll be your upperclassman.
04:43.460 --> 04:44.950
I... I'll do by mest!
04:44.950 --> 04:45.740
Oh.
04:45.740 --> 04:49.780
So, um, once we've finished
our exams, will you...
04:49.780 --> 04:50.770
Yes?
04:50.770 --> 04:53.040
No, forget I said anything.
04:59.730 --> 05:03.380
As before, you win if you
can land even one hit on me.
05:03.380 --> 05:04.530
Yes, sir!
05:04.530 --> 05:06.320
Now, shall we begin?
05:17.300 --> 05:18.730
I haven't lost yet!
05:23.910 --> 05:26.110
She's firing wildly.
05:28.630 --> 05:30.120
A diversion, I suppose.
05:34.790 --> 05:36.620
Today is the day we beat you!
05:46.850 --> 05:49.090
Well done, both of you.
05:49.090 --> 05:50.260
Yes!
05:50.260 --> 05:51.720
We did it!
05:52.860 --> 05:55.240
Again! I want to keep going, sir!
05:55.240 --> 05:56.820
S-So do I!
05:56.820 --> 05:59.720
You've done enough. Let's call it a day.
05:59.720 --> 06:00.600
But, sir!
06:01.140 --> 06:03.140
Your final exam is tomorrow.
06:03.140 --> 06:05.440
You need to conserve your strength for it.
06:06.830 --> 06:08.110
Yes, sir.
06:16.990 --> 06:22.010
Another book that brings me no closer
to identifying what I saw back then.
06:23.750 --> 06:26.030
At last, I meet a key.
06:27.010 --> 06:28.680
What on earth could it be?
06:30.250 --> 06:31.040
Oh?
06:31.490 --> 06:34.790
What brings you here at
this hour of the night?
06:34.790 --> 06:36.470
I couldn't get to sleep,
06:36.470 --> 06:40.020
so I thought I'd come to my
plants for encouragement.
06:40.020 --> 06:42.390
Then I saw a light on.
06:42.390 --> 06:43.840
Is that so?
06:45.300 --> 06:47.270
Um... Sir?
06:47.270 --> 06:48.030
Yes?
06:48.610 --> 06:49.840
Tomorrow...
06:49.840 --> 06:55.280
If I fail, does that mean I
can't go to the royal capital?
06:55.820 --> 06:59.710
I'm certain it won't come to that.
07:00.540 --> 07:02.460
You and Ellie will do fine.
07:03.070 --> 07:05.510
I'm glad to hear that. Very glad.
07:06.110 --> 07:09.630
Would you mind listening to me for a bit?
07:09.940 --> 07:10.680
No.
07:11.420 --> 07:12.550
When I was little,
07:12.550 --> 07:17.620
I told you how my mother used to
read me picture books, right?
07:17.620 --> 07:22.270
And how I admired the Great Spells that
the people in the legends used to cast...
07:22.270 --> 07:24.980
I saw them drawn in a book.
07:24.980 --> 07:27.860
The flame-wreathed lion, Blazing Qilin.
07:28.290 --> 07:31.530
The little jade-green bird of
healing, Tempest Kingfisher.
07:31.950 --> 07:36.200
And the bird of ice that freezes
everything there is, Frigid Crane.
07:36.430 --> 07:37.740
"Frigid Crane"?
07:38.020 --> 07:42.690
It's supposed to take the form of
a crane, a kind of extinct bird.
07:44.580 --> 07:48.250
I think the Great Spells really exist.
07:48.250 --> 07:51.720
That's why I want to go to the royal capital.
07:52.150 --> 07:57.100
It's a story that my mother left me.
07:58.050 --> 08:00.560
I want to prove it's true.
08:02.860 --> 08:06.460
You're the first person I've
ever told this to, sir.
08:08.870 --> 08:10.280
Sir?
08:11.220 --> 08:13.660
Thank you for telling me that.
08:15.330 --> 08:17.160
Would you mind taking a look at these?
08:17.160 --> 08:18.030
Huh?
08:20.140 --> 08:21.740
Aren't these...?
08:21.740 --> 08:25.710
I've taken the liberty of reading the
books here over the past few months.
08:26.230 --> 08:30.920
A number of them have bookmarks
between their pages,
08:30.920 --> 08:34.860
always at basic formulae for ice magic.
08:34.860 --> 08:39.120
And the last page of each one
bears the same owner's mark.
08:44.310 --> 08:45.430
But this is...!
08:46.260 --> 08:49.190
I don't know your mother personally.
08:49.590 --> 08:52.860
But looking at all the notes she left behind,
08:53.430 --> 08:59.070
I can see her concern for the children
who would survive her clear as day.
09:00.230 --> 09:04.610
As a matter of fact, the formulae I've
been teaching you come from these notes,
09:04.610 --> 09:06.940
with a few tweaks of my own.
09:08.270 --> 09:09.840
Mother...
09:12.050 --> 09:13.450
Sir!
09:21.060 --> 09:24.560
Sir, I swear I'll win tomorrow.
09:25.020 --> 09:27.740
I'll win and go to the Royal Academy!
09:35.220 --> 09:37.280
You have nothing to worry about.
09:37.750 --> 09:39.030
Sir...
09:39.030 --> 09:41.610
I know that the two of you can win.
09:50.580 --> 09:52.600
We've been expecting you.
09:53.800 --> 09:56.570
Mr. Allen, the stands are this way.
09:56.570 --> 09:58.970
You are not to interfere.
09:58.970 --> 10:00.620
I understand.
10:00.620 --> 10:02.630
Lady Tina, Ellie.
10:02.630 --> 10:03.510
We're ready.
10:04.290 --> 10:07.000
My lady, please take this.
10:07.000 --> 10:07.680
All right.
10:11.560 --> 10:13.230
Isn't this...?
10:13.610 --> 10:17.860
That rod belonged to the
mistress—to Duchess Rosa.
10:17.860 --> 10:24.160
She left it in my care and asked me to
give it to you when you learned magic.
10:24.590 --> 10:28.660
I beg your pardon...
for not delivering it sooner.
10:28.660 --> 10:30.210
This was mother's?
10:30.800 --> 10:34.130
Thank you. Now I've got nothing to fear.
10:34.500 --> 10:37.430
At long last, I've managed to do my duty.
10:39.100 --> 10:40.500
Grandma!
10:40.500 --> 10:41.640
Ellie...
10:42.120 --> 10:45.060
Believe in yourself and all your hard work.
10:45.060 --> 10:45.920
I will!
10:48.360 --> 10:50.170
Come on, Ellie!
10:50.170 --> 10:52.350
Yes, my lady!
10:52.680 --> 10:55.090
You'd better watch us, sir.
10:55.090 --> 10:58.490
We'll hit him with everything you taught us!
10:58.490 --> 11:00.400
Give it your best, girls!
11:00.400 --> 11:01.510
Yes, sir!
11:05.300 --> 11:08.910
This gentleman will be your opponent today.
11:11.200 --> 11:14.460
There's a perception-blocking
spell on that mask.
11:14.760 --> 11:19.070
If you want to take the Royal
Academy exam, you must defeat me.
11:19.070 --> 11:21.840
Challenge me with all the
strength you can muster!
11:22.270 --> 11:25.050
Very well! I promise we'll beat you!
11:25.050 --> 11:28.720
I have erected a barrier.
You need hold nothing back.
11:29.600 --> 11:31.140
Now...
11:31.860 --> 11:32.560
begin!
11:52.460 --> 11:55.260
Water, earth, and even ice!
11:55.260 --> 11:56.760
Oh, Ellie!
11:56.760 --> 11:58.880
Good. Those were nice, neat formulae.
11:58.880 --> 12:01.210
You can't afford to take your eyes off me!
12:23.210 --> 12:24.700
My lady!
12:25.860 --> 12:27.220
My lady!
12:28.070 --> 12:29.160
Over here!
12:34.790 --> 12:36.540
He noticed. No surprise there.
12:59.300 --> 13:00.570
Are you hurt?!
13:00.570 --> 13:01.940
You should be...
13:02.440 --> 13:04.190
proud of your skill.
13:13.210 --> 13:15.330
What freezing cold.
13:15.330 --> 13:18.170
That's an advanced spell:
Twin Icicle Pillars.
13:18.170 --> 13:20.500
Um... Um...!
13:19.500 --> 13:21.210
Keep calm, Ellie!
13:21.210 --> 13:23.340
Just like Mr. Allen taught us.
13:24.040 --> 13:25.010
Right.
13:25.290 --> 13:26.590
Tina! Ellie!
13:26.890 --> 13:28.010
Go get him!
13:28.970 --> 13:30.470
Yes, sir!
13:33.720 --> 13:35.090
Block this if you can!
13:48.240 --> 13:49.530
Tina...
13:49.530 --> 13:52.170
I'm amazed. She's casting
spells I never taught her.
13:52.170 --> 13:55.660
Her Highness has always been most studious.
13:56.100 --> 13:58.830
She has come into her own.
13:59.240 --> 14:02.750
That ought to prove we're ready
for the Royal Academy exams!
14:03.090 --> 14:05.270
Be gracious and admit defeat!
14:05.270 --> 14:07.170
I never dreamed they'd come this far.
14:07.480 --> 14:10.300
Th-There's no sense trying to fight it!
14:10.300 --> 14:12.800
Please surrender right away,
and unconditionally!
14:13.260 --> 14:16.180
I can't respond with less than my best!
14:21.230 --> 14:22.880
I recognize this spell!
14:22.880 --> 14:24.940
The barrier won't hold!
14:28.150 --> 14:30.230
Everyone! You're in danger here!
14:30.230 --> 14:31.280
Please evacuate!
14:32.620 --> 14:34.240
You, too, Mrs. Walker! Hurry!
14:34.240 --> 14:35.660
O-Of course.
14:35.660 --> 14:37.820
But what about you, sir?
14:37.820 --> 14:39.080
I'll be right back!
14:41.540 --> 14:42.290
Mr. Allen!
14:42.290 --> 14:43.840
Let me relieve you as referee.
14:44.390 --> 14:47.110
It will be most unsafe, sir.
14:47.110 --> 14:48.130
I know.
14:48.820 --> 14:51.430
For better or worse, I'm used to it.
14:52.870 --> 14:55.610
What fools you girls are.
14:55.610 --> 15:00.520
Didn't your teacher tell you to
strike when you have an opening?
15:00.520 --> 15:02.140
I don't believe it.
15:02.140 --> 15:05.030
I thought only Father could cast that spell.
15:05.030 --> 15:06.320
My lady...
15:07.460 --> 15:09.920
Oh, how are we supposed to fight that?
15:10.600 --> 15:14.340
But... But we will find a way!
15:15.830 --> 15:18.910
Or what did we learn from Mr. Allen for?!
15:19.540 --> 15:22.040
You're right! He won't beat us!
15:22.040 --> 15:24.460
We'll win this and go to the Royal Academy!
15:26.430 --> 15:29.010
When the white wolf runs,
15:30.190 --> 15:33.450
it leaves only a world of
ice and snow in its wake.
15:38.740 --> 15:44.030
That's the supreme spell of the Ducal
House of Howard: Blizzard Wolf.
15:44.030 --> 15:45.400
Mr. Walker, use these.
15:45.930 --> 15:48.270
They're military barriers
the Professor sent me.
15:49.140 --> 15:52.000
Erect a second barrier outside
as well, just to be safe!
15:52.000 --> 15:52.950
Certainly, sir.
15:54.080 --> 15:55.280
Tina! Ellie!
15:55.280 --> 15:56.730
Please stay out of this!
15:56.730 --> 15:58.540
Stand back and watch, sir!
16:02.020 --> 16:02.790
Here it comes.
16:06.250 --> 16:11.170
You have a bright future ahead of you if
you can use two kinds of magic already.
16:20.890 --> 16:21.890
No!
16:27.860 --> 16:29.840
All your hard work paid off.
16:29.840 --> 16:30.570
I'm proud of you.
16:30.870 --> 16:33.150
You're an amazing girl, Tina.
16:52.020 --> 16:53.210
Not bad.
16:53.820 --> 16:55.010
But not good enough.
17:01.600 --> 17:03.640
If you want a fighting chance,
17:03.640 --> 17:06.730
you'd better cast a supreme
spell of your own!
17:16.610 --> 17:18.570
Ellie! Are you hurt?!
17:19.840 --> 17:21.120
I'm fine.
17:21.120 --> 17:22.040
Tina!
17:22.460 --> 17:23.700
Sir...
17:24.070 --> 17:26.480
You got a good look at the formula
for Blizzard Wolf, didn't you?
17:26.480 --> 17:27.870
Y-Yes, I did.
17:27.870 --> 17:28.880
Now's your chance!
17:28.880 --> 17:31.500
I know you haven't practiced,
but give it your best shot!
17:31.860 --> 17:34.090
Wh-What?! But I couldn't possibly...
17:34.090 --> 17:35.300
Don't worry!
17:35.300 --> 17:36.510
You can do it!
17:40.500 --> 17:42.260
Ellie, support her, if you please!
17:42.260 --> 17:42.840
Huh?
17:42.840 --> 17:44.660
Oh, y-yessir!
17:45.510 --> 17:46.880
Interesting.
17:47.420 --> 17:49.060
Do it, if you can!
17:56.420 --> 17:59.030
Okay, now, um...
17:59.390 --> 18:01.370
I think you can condense that part!
18:06.830 --> 18:07.960
I'm through waiting!
18:18.550 --> 18:19.510
It worked!
18:21.140 --> 18:22.510
Incredible.
18:23.090 --> 18:24.760
But you're still green!
18:36.790 --> 18:40.320
What's wrong? Is that the best you can do?!
18:41.740 --> 18:43.610
Their formula's still rough.
18:43.610 --> 18:44.910
At this rate...
18:44.910 --> 18:47.330
No! We haven't lost yet!
18:48.690 --> 18:49.660
My lady?
18:52.160 --> 18:55.530
One of the fairy tales Mother told
me was about the Lady of Ice,
18:55.530 --> 19:01.010
who tied her ribbon to her staff
when she really meant business!
19:01.620 --> 19:04.600
Mother, give me strength.
19:10.690 --> 19:12.740
Ellie! Put your back into it!
19:12.740 --> 19:14.350
Yes, my lady!
19:20.000 --> 19:22.840
Use my power.
19:28.370 --> 19:30.250
Take this!
19:44.470 --> 19:46.010
Lady Tina...
19:59.480 --> 20:01.280
Dear Lydia,
20:01.920 --> 20:05.020
We're about to depart for the royal capital.
20:05.020 --> 20:08.700
I feel a little sad to bid this
world of gleaming snow farewell.
20:09.170 --> 20:12.370
Listen to Mr. Allen, now.
20:12.660 --> 20:14.320
I will, Grandpa!
20:15.780 --> 20:17.170
Father!
20:17.170 --> 20:19.880
Duke Walter! How are your wounds?
20:19.880 --> 20:21.820
Oh, I'm fine.
20:24.660 --> 20:26.660
So, um...
20:26.660 --> 20:30.100
Your final exam left me speechless.
20:30.100 --> 20:32.510
I could almost have mistaken you for Rosa.
20:33.200 --> 20:37.440
And... I'm sorry. For everything.
20:37.930 --> 20:39.640
I was afraid.
20:39.640 --> 20:42.360
I couldn't bear the thought of losing you too.
20:42.900 --> 20:44.260
Father...
20:46.790 --> 20:47.990
I'm so sorry!
20:48.620 --> 20:50.920
I'm going now, Father.
20:50.920 --> 20:54.160
Look after the plants while I'm gone.
20:54.500 --> 20:56.750
Yes, I will.
20:56.750 --> 20:58.110
Lady Tina!
20:58.880 --> 21:00.500
The train will leave any moment!
21:00.500 --> 21:01.550
Okay!
21:03.840 --> 21:06.180
You didn't forget anything, did you?
21:03.840 --> 21:08.870
I've learned that our greenhouse is
too small for a growing young tree.
21:06.180 --> 21:09.620
I'm all set. What about you?
21:08.870 --> 21:11.890
In which case, it's a father's duty
21:09.620 --> 21:10.960
I have everything.
21:12.490 --> 21:15.380
to send her into a wider world.
21:15.380 --> 21:18.900
My wife would want that for her.
21:21.300 --> 21:24.210
Allen, I trust you.
21:24.210 --> 21:24.740
Huh?
21:24.740 --> 21:27.110
Oh, thank you very much.
21:28.040 --> 21:28.870
Ow!
21:28.870 --> 21:32.980
However! If you ever lay a
finger on my little girl...
21:32.200 --> 21:33.700
Ow, ow, ow!
21:33.700 --> 21:37.190
If you should ever lay a
finger on my granddaughter...
21:37.190 --> 21:39.790
There must be some misunderstanding!
I wouldn't dream of it!
21:42.890 --> 21:45.210
Well then, I'll await you
in the royal capital.
21:45.210 --> 21:46.330
Yes.
21:46.330 --> 21:48.130
We're going, Father!
21:48.130 --> 21:49.570
Goodbye!
21:50.380 --> 21:55.520
A lot has happened, but I'm glad I
got the chance to tutor these girls.
21:56.310 --> 21:58.190
As for what comes next,
21:58.190 --> 22:00.730
I'll think of that after I get back.
22:01.290 --> 22:03.660
You have no reason to worry.
22:04.200 --> 22:06.740
In any case, I'll see you
in the royal capital.
