WEBVTT
00:56.440 --> 00:57.810
Water, come forth.
01:31.920 --> 01:35.920
The Water Magician
02:46.430 --> 02:47.780
Where am I...?
02:49.560 --> 02:51.880
Just so you know, this isn't the afterlife.
02:56.400 --> 02:58.320
You are Ryo Mihara, yes?
02:58.730 --> 03:00.860
Yes, that's me.
03:00.860 --> 03:05.640
That's a relief. It's been a long
time since I last had a visitor.
03:09.480 --> 03:13.710
Ryo Mihara, you sadly
passed away in an accident.
03:14.290 --> 03:16.650
Right. I remember that.
03:17.960 --> 03:19.830
Are you... god?
03:20.150 --> 03:26.420
No, I am not. To put it into terms
you'd be familiar with...
03:26.970 --> 03:29.210
an angel would be most apt, I believe.
03:29.530 --> 03:32.630
I'll file him as "Fake Michael" for now.
03:34.460 --> 03:39.660
I understand I'm being reincarnating,
but what do I do once I start my new life?
03:40.290 --> 03:42.640
By all means, live however you please.
03:42.640 --> 03:46.890
I was not informed that
you'd been sent with an agenda
03:47.230 --> 03:49.870
or any sort of mission to complete.
03:50.340 --> 03:52.020
I'm to live as I please?
03:56.580 --> 04:00.090
In that case, I'd love to live the slow life.
04:04.120 --> 04:07.610
The world you will be reincarnating
into is one full of magic.
04:07.610 --> 04:08.390
Abel?
04:08.390 --> 04:11.750
We have dubbed this world "Phi."
04:12.240 --> 04:17.110
In Phi, roughly 20 percent
of humans can cast spells.
04:17.600 --> 04:21.760
The element with which
you are most compatible is water.
04:23.000 --> 04:28.290
As you've requested the slow life, we'll have
you reincarnate in the Forest of Rondo.
04:30.180 --> 04:34.590
A house and two months'
worth of food will await you.
04:34.980 --> 04:39.210
An icehouse for storing food?
This has got to be magic too, right?
04:40.390 --> 04:44.590
Your house has been prepared so that monsters
will avoid the immediate vicinity.
04:45.170 --> 04:47.450
Consider it to be something like a barrier.
04:48.530 --> 04:50.770
The Monster Compendium, Beginner Edition?
04:51.360 --> 04:54.010
I can read it even though
I've never seen the language.
04:54.970 --> 04:57.460
This Flora Compendium, too.
04:58.890 --> 05:00.130
Water, come forth.
05:03.340 --> 05:05.770
Water! Aqua!
05:09.440 --> 05:13.480
I guess if I can imagine what I'm doing,
I don't need to vocalize it.
05:14.200 --> 05:17.350
I've always thought incantations
were cool, though...
05:20.170 --> 05:22.020
Looks like what I conjure is tepid.
05:23.420 --> 05:29.410
And here I was hoping to make good use
of this nice tub. That bites.
05:29.820 --> 05:30.900
Oh well.
05:40.270 --> 05:41.360
Not happening!
05:43.080 --> 05:45.010
Gotta know when to give up.
05:52.360 --> 05:53.460
The sun?
05:55.630 --> 05:56.450
Freeze!
05:59.760 --> 06:01.360
This is harder than I thought.
06:01.750 --> 06:04.630
But I need to figure out how to make ice, too.
06:05.010 --> 06:08.580
I'd love to cast one of those
"Ice Spear" kinds of spells.
06:08.580 --> 06:11.740
Compress the water while removing the heat...
06:13.380 --> 06:16.710
Picture the H2O molecules
at the heart of the water.
06:17.220 --> 06:23.760
If I can connect an oxygen atom to the
hydrogen atom of the molecule next to it...
06:29.130 --> 06:33.810
I win! And all thanks to hydrogen bonds.
06:33.810 --> 06:36.190
Now, if I can shape it how I need...
06:42.820 --> 06:44.540
Bingo!
06:47.380 --> 06:50.940
I'd say that was a pretty
productive first day.
06:52.490 --> 06:56.170
I think I can make hot water
if I apply the thinking that got me ice.
06:56.800 --> 06:59.080
Magic sure makes life easy.
06:59.870 --> 07:03.500
Now then, I've got plenty to do tomorrow.
07:07.820 --> 07:11.710
Michael prepared two months of food for me.
07:11.710 --> 07:16.620
I guess that means I'll have to start
hunting once I work through my supply.
07:17.920 --> 07:20.990
The woods fall outside of the barrier,
so there will be monsters.
07:20.990 --> 07:26.070
I doubt a single knife will be enough.
I'm going to need offensive magic.
07:26.850 --> 07:31.530
For a secure and safe slow life,
I had better start practicing, huh?
07:33.480 --> 07:34.750
Water Ball!
07:37.930 --> 07:40.460
My first attack spell is a success!
07:40.830 --> 07:43.250
Although... not much of an attack.
07:43.980 --> 07:46.380
I mean, that makes sense.
07:46.380 --> 07:48.960
Nevertheless, I have a trick up my sleeve.
07:52.010 --> 07:56.230
If Water Ball won't cut it,
then out comes Water Jet.
07:56.730 --> 08:00.720
Narrow the outlet. Picture
a thin, high-velocity stream.
08:01.130 --> 08:01.960
Go!
08:07.990 --> 08:09.100
I lose.
08:10.560 --> 08:15.200
Oh, one last thing. How do I use magic?
08:15.450 --> 08:18.210
The foundation to magic is imagination.
08:18.210 --> 08:19.670
Water Jet!
08:19.670 --> 08:24.500
You need to picture clearly what you're
aiming for, then work toward that over time.
08:20.200 --> 08:21.670
Water Jet!
08:21.990 --> 08:23.440
Water Jet!
08:25.390 --> 08:27.890
It's looking a bit better now.
08:29.590 --> 08:30.430
Good!
08:31.010 --> 08:36.890
Seems I was right about using the
opposite process for ice to get hot water.
08:37.600 --> 08:39.240
Hot! Too hot!
08:41.250 --> 08:44.060
Creating ice out of thin air...
08:49.290 --> 08:55.030
It's not fast, but looks like it's doable.
08:55.290 --> 09:00.520
Which leads us to my main goal
for offensive ice magic: Icicle Lance!
09:00.830 --> 09:02.290
Now fly!
09:04.650 --> 09:07.560
Guess it's not as easy to project as water.
09:08.360 --> 09:11.150
Given the difficulty of conjuring it
and its limited range,
09:11.150 --> 09:14.640
I have my doubts about practical
applications in combat.
09:15.520 --> 09:17.990
For now, practice makes perfect.
09:42.800 --> 09:47.340
I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Is this some kind of... mana depletion?
09:50.540 --> 09:55.310
Oh, of course. I can't do this the way
I have been once the sun sets.
10:07.440 --> 10:08.900
Icicle Lance!
10:11.340 --> 10:14.340
Good. I'm able to form them instantly now.
10:14.780 --> 10:17.620
Still not much of a projectile, though.
10:18.340 --> 10:20.870
Now then, it's time to venture...
10:21.720 --> 10:23.310
outside of the barrier!
10:39.190 --> 10:40.090
Bingo!
10:41.640 --> 10:45.230
Quartz! I had a feeling I'd
find this along a riverbank.
10:45.490 --> 10:46.940
And with it...
10:47.880 --> 10:50.770
I can start a fire even
after the sun goes down.
10:51.420 --> 10:56.760
Once I collect some detoxifying herbs,
I'll call today's adventure a success.
11:03.690 --> 11:06.040
A lesser boar!
11:06.930 --> 11:08.000
This is bad.
11:13.880 --> 11:16.760
Move... Move, move, move, move, move!
11:33.610 --> 11:37.820
I can't move...
But in this world, I have magic!
11:37.820 --> 11:39.700
Ice Bahn!
11:41.870 --> 11:43.410
Icicle Lance 16!
12:00.530 --> 12:01.690
I won...
12:03.210 --> 12:06.890
Lesser boars are listed as the weakest kind.
12:07.550 --> 12:09.340
That was the weakest, huh?
12:10.250 --> 12:12.930
This Monster Compendium
is the beginner's edition,
12:12.930 --> 12:15.440
but it says the last two pages
are the special edition?
12:16.070 --> 12:21.030
"Dragons. Individually capable
of destroying entire cities with ease."
12:21.030 --> 12:21.980
Scary!
12:22.490 --> 12:25.410
"Note: If you encounter one,
be sure to flee."
12:25.410 --> 12:29.650
"That said, you are highly
unlikely to escape." I see.
12:29.650 --> 12:31.670
Just running into one is game over.
12:32.430 --> 12:36.640
"Akuma. Not fallen angels."
12:36.640 --> 12:41.340
"Origins unknown.
Note: Pray you never encounter one."
12:41.560 --> 12:43.320
Is that really going to help?
12:44.010 --> 12:47.950
Man, this world must be huge.
12:57.450 --> 13:00.450
That's a great balance of sweet and sour!
13:05.440 --> 13:06.260
A bird?!
13:11.860 --> 13:14.080
This seems like a huge jump
in terms of difficulty!
13:17.340 --> 13:21.760
Assassin hawks use Air Slash,
an invisible type of offensive air magic.
13:21.760 --> 13:25.430
But their main weapons is swooping
with their razor-sharp talons and beak!
13:25.830 --> 13:27.310
I don't think I can outrun it.
13:28.490 --> 13:30.600
I'll just have... to fight back!
14:07.350 --> 14:11.160
This slow life thing is harder than I figured...
14:12.610 --> 14:18.200
While I was running from the assassin hawk,
I lost track of the direction my house is in.
14:19.500 --> 14:22.340
I should be getting closer, I think...
15:21.240 --> 15:23.090
Abrasive Jet!
15:27.540 --> 15:29.680
Hey, it worked!
15:30.550 --> 15:33.170
If I use magic to enhance
the hardness of ice,
15:33.170 --> 15:35.640
it can act as a replacement
for garnet blasting abrasive.
15:36.540 --> 15:39.890
I might actually be getting the hang of magic.
15:55.050 --> 15:58.830
The beginner edition's of the Monster
Compendium didn't mention a Dullahan.
15:59.350 --> 16:04.020
Is it not considered a monster? Or is it
too advanced for the beginner's edition?
16:04.020 --> 16:05.470
Either way...
16:23.050 --> 16:24.030
I've got you!
16:34.310 --> 16:37.740
I don't think I stand a chance just yet.
16:38.310 --> 16:42.030
But there's a reason I come here every night.
16:43.050 --> 16:47.210
It feels like he's telling me
he'll whip me into shape.
16:54.090 --> 16:55.930
A water sword?
17:06.110 --> 17:08.320
You're telling me to master it?
17:17.720 --> 17:20.040
This is pretty fantastical.
17:32.450 --> 17:34.380
The assassin hawk from before?
17:34.380 --> 17:37.330
Wait, it wasn't that dark.
17:41.560 --> 17:42.770
Did it evolve?
17:44.190 --> 17:45.440
Five-Layer Ice Wall.
17:56.490 --> 17:57.450
Ten-Layer Ice Wall!
18:03.410 --> 18:04.710
Ice Wall!
18:07.130 --> 18:08.460
Icicle Lance!
18:13.260 --> 18:14.470
It wiped them out?!
18:15.470 --> 18:20.320
Does it have some kind of magic negation?
What a nasty ability to evolve!
18:21.900 --> 18:23.890
Something's... coming!
19:21.370 --> 19:25.600
I get it. I took your eye.
19:26.580 --> 19:31.250
Even if we both gave it all
and you lost, it's still hard to accept.
19:36.250 --> 19:40.470
But if nothing else, encountering
you has helped me grow.
19:41.240 --> 19:45.930
I wanted to get stronger in anticipation
of you showing up again.
19:46.730 --> 19:50.420
I'm grateful you gave me
the chance to improve.
19:55.090 --> 19:58.950
You went as far as to evolve
in order to pay me back.
19:59.520 --> 20:04.460
And out of respect for the pride that
brought you here... I'll finish this.
20:19.780 --> 20:20.930
Unbelievable.
20:22.740 --> 20:23.740
A dragon...
20:27.070 --> 20:29.670
You there, human!
20:29.670 --> 20:30.850
It talks?
20:31.160 --> 20:38.070
Good, good. It's been so long since I used
telepathy, I wasn't sure it'd still work.
20:38.070 --> 20:39.530
Telepathy?
20:39.800 --> 20:43.290
I was hoping to ask you something.
20:43.290 --> 20:49.000
Have you encountered a bird that evolved
from an assassin hawk around here?
20:49.000 --> 20:52.360
I, er... I have.
20:52.360 --> 20:55.880
That wasn't one of your
minions or anything, was it?
20:56.310 --> 20:59.010
Because if so, I need to apologize.
21:00.730 --> 21:04.260
I see! Then you've slain the creature.
21:04.260 --> 21:07.090
A most impressive feat.
21:07.090 --> 21:11.940
Now, I must say, that's a rather
rare weapon at your waist.
21:16.240 --> 21:18.610
As I thought! The sword of the Fairy King!
21:18.820 --> 21:24.070
If he gave that to you, then you must've
done something to earn his favor!
21:24.300 --> 21:26.630
I couldn't really say...
21:26.990 --> 21:30.460
But, uh, I was hoping
to ask you a few questions.
21:35.670 --> 21:40.150
You'll have to forgive me,
but I'm being called on.
21:40.150 --> 21:42.840
I was so enjoying our little chat, too.
21:42.840 --> 21:46.680
It's okay. I really appreciate
everything you told me.
21:47.010 --> 21:51.100
Could I at least get your name? Mine is Ryo.
21:51.410 --> 21:53.850
Ryo, eh? I'm Lewin.
21:54.410 --> 21:57.070
Until we meet again, Ryo!
22:03.630 --> 22:05.990
Talk about intense...
22:06.310 --> 22:09.570
Never thought I'd have a
conversation with a dragon.
22:09.910 --> 22:13.160
Anything can happen in a
fantasy world like this, huh?
22:14.010 --> 22:17.340
Oh, dear. What an oversight on my part.
22:18.810 --> 22:22.300
A hidden trait?
Why would he have such a thing?
22:22.630 --> 22:27.770
No one's had one of those since
that girl I first sent to another world.
22:28.660 --> 22:30.620
That was over ten thousand years ago.
22:31.700 --> 22:35.860
In Ryo's case, his hidden trait is...
Eternal Youth.
