WEBVTT
01:30.920 --> 01:33.710
Today will conclude the introductory course.
01:33.710 --> 01:39.930
Over the past five days, you've learned
the essentials of dungeon exploration.
01:40.310 --> 01:44.060
This afternoon, you'll be heading into
the first layer of an actual dungeon.
01:44.390 --> 01:46.720
We're finally going to the dungeon...
01:47.150 --> 01:48.870
I'm getting anxious.
01:48.870 --> 01:54.500
It's still early, Amon. Get too nervous now
and you'll be worn out come the afternoon.
01:54.500 --> 01:56.780
I know that, but...
01:56.780 --> 02:00.560
Before we head out, I'll answer
any questions you might have.
02:00.560 --> 02:02.650
Any takers?
02:03.840 --> 02:04.620
Ryo.
02:04.620 --> 02:10.580
Sir, is there any way to instantly travel
to a layer that you've previously cleared?
02:10.580 --> 02:13.410
I'm impressed you know about that, Ryo.
02:13.410 --> 02:17.800
There are apparently dungeons with something
along those lines in the Southern Provinces.
02:17.800 --> 02:21.760
You won't find anything like
that in Lune's dungeon, however.
02:22.090 --> 02:25.010
And I've only heard rumors,
so I can't give you details.
02:25.270 --> 02:27.850
I see. Thank you very much.
02:27.850 --> 02:30.180
Wh-What's all this about instant travel?
02:30.180 --> 02:32.610
I'm amazed you know about
that sort of thing, Ryo.
02:32.610 --> 02:34.730
No wonder you're rank D!
02:36.130 --> 02:38.240
It's just something I'd heard of.
02:39.600 --> 02:43.150
Lune's dungeon lies at the center of town,
02:43.150 --> 02:47.920
but it's more accurate to say the town
was built around the dungeon.
02:48.390 --> 02:51.370
As I explained in the course, every few years,
02:51.370 --> 02:54.380
the monster population
in the dungeon multiplies rapidly.
02:54.380 --> 02:56.380
We call this the Great Tidal Bore.
02:56.640 --> 03:00.200
Oftentimes the monsters that spawn
during this period reach the surface.
03:00.200 --> 03:06.600
The double walls you see were built
to prevent them from getting into town.
03:06.600 --> 03:12.190
I see. So the town's outer wall
keeps it safe from outside attackers,
03:12.190 --> 03:16.630
and this keeps it safe from
dungeon monsters on the inside.
03:16.630 --> 03:20.820
Th-The Great Tidal Bore, though?
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
03:20.820 --> 03:23.760
Like I said, it only happens
once every few years.
03:23.760 --> 03:29.800
It's not likely to be any time soon,
so you rookies have no reason to worry.
03:31.480 --> 03:34.960
Did you notice the guild
office near the gate?
03:35.180 --> 03:39.550
Typically, upon entering a dungeon,
your name and time of entry are recorded.
03:39.880 --> 03:43.110
Since you're all on the record
for this course, however,
03:43.110 --> 03:44.450
we'll be going straight in.
03:48.150 --> 03:51.980
Amon, you really need to relax some.
03:51.980 --> 03:53.750
Come on. Take a deep breath.
03:56.410 --> 03:58.290
I-I think I'm feeling a little better.
03:58.290 --> 04:00.920
Well, we're all here, so don't worry.
04:00.920 --> 04:01.810
Right.
04:02.960 --> 04:04.750
As I pointed out in the lecture,
04:04.750 --> 04:07.240
there are no dangerous monsters
here on the first layer.
04:07.560 --> 04:11.010
You're free to explore on your own,
but stay within sight of the entrance.
04:15.320 --> 04:16.930
Something's there.
04:16.930 --> 04:18.710
But where?
04:20.960 --> 04:23.780
It's ahead of us, though by a good distance.
04:23.780 --> 04:28.360
I'll hold it in place with magic,
then you attack it, Amon.
04:28.360 --> 04:30.830
R-Right. Understood.
04:31.560 --> 04:33.270
A soldier ant...
04:33.500 --> 04:35.660
A monster from the Beginner Edition.
04:35.660 --> 04:38.980
The simplest way to deal with it
is to attack the base of its neck.
04:44.190 --> 04:45.900
I'm going to pin it down now.
04:45.900 --> 04:50.310
Ice, pierce your foe with your cold power.
04:50.310 --> 04:51.990
Icicle Lance 8!
04:55.210 --> 04:57.670
Amon, go in and finish it.
04:57.670 --> 04:58.490
Right!
05:04.510 --> 05:05.890
Nicely done!
05:09.810 --> 05:11.470
We did it, Ryo!
05:11.750 --> 05:13.810
Let's grab its magic stone and head back.
05:13.810 --> 05:16.480
Can't forget a trophy from our
first expedition, after all.
05:16.480 --> 05:18.480
Is that allowed?
05:18.480 --> 05:20.410
We're adventurers.
05:20.410 --> 05:22.820
It's only natural we earn
our living from dungeons.
05:28.140 --> 05:30.370
This is quite the souvenir.
05:33.680 --> 05:34.540
Yeah!
05:37.040 --> 05:39.840
Now then, let's celebrate Ryo
and Amon finishing their course
05:39.840 --> 05:41.580
and their first foray in the dungeon!
05:41.580 --> 05:43.170
Cheers!
05:47.280 --> 05:51.930
That's good! It could only
be better if it were booze.
05:51.930 --> 05:56.710
They don't serve alcohol here, and we're
not allowed to bring any in either.
05:57.040 --> 06:01.650
Maybe it's their way of saying adventurers
shouldn't get carried away with drink.
06:01.650 --> 06:04.020
We're celebrating! Where's the harm?
06:04.020 --> 06:08.360
I have to say, I'm impressed you took down
a soldier ant in your first dungeon excursion.
06:08.710 --> 06:10.240
Not bad, you two.
06:10.480 --> 06:13.870
Honestly, I just finished it off...
06:13.870 --> 06:16.720
Which was only possible
because Ryo held it down.
06:16.720 --> 06:20.250
Amon expertly struck the kill with his blade.
06:20.250 --> 06:22.420
No need for such modesty.
06:22.650 --> 06:27.280
Eh, either way, grabbing the magic
stone was great, so who cares?
06:27.280 --> 06:29.380
What will you two be doing tomorrow?
06:29.380 --> 06:32.500
I wanted to head back to the dungeon...
06:32.500 --> 06:35.220
but the idea of going alone makes
me nervous, so I'm not sure.
06:35.220 --> 06:40.980
Would you like to go with me, then? I was
thinking of heading as far as the third layer.
06:40.980 --> 06:43.690
Really?! I'd love to!
06:44.400 --> 06:47.840
The ant being up on the first
layer has stuck with me.
06:47.840 --> 06:50.150
The lecture made that sound unusual.
06:50.150 --> 06:53.850
Yeah, normally the first layer is just bats.
06:53.850 --> 06:56.560
I've heard reports of soldier ants appearing
06:56.560 --> 07:01.120
in the first and second layers
in the last few months.
07:01.450 --> 07:04.550
Which begs the question
of what they're doing there.
07:04.550 --> 07:09.410
That'd be because soldier ants can dig
tunnels all the way to the first layer.
07:10.170 --> 07:15.140
Abel, veteran adventurers
shouldn't pick on the rookies.
07:15.450 --> 07:20.730
Pick on them? I was just offering pertinent
insight to assuage their worries.
07:20.730 --> 07:25.050
You three are Ryo's roommates,
right? I'm Abel.
07:25.050 --> 07:29.030
Ryo's strong but has personality problems,
so I'd appreciate you looking out for him.
07:29.030 --> 07:31.680
Abel, are you trying to pick a fight?
07:32.030 --> 07:33.870
A-Abel, as in...
07:33.870 --> 07:36.700
Of the Crimson Sword?!
07:36.700 --> 07:40.450
M-Mr. Abel, sir! I'm a swordsman!
My name is Nils!
07:40.450 --> 07:44.610
I'm only an F-rank adventurer who just
came to Lune, but you're my hero!
07:44.610 --> 07:47.680
I-I'd be honored if I could shake your hand!
07:47.680 --> 07:49.460
Yeah, of course.
07:49.710 --> 07:52.890
Work hard but don't overdo it, all right?
07:52.890 --> 07:56.050
Survival is an adventurer's primary duty.
07:56.050 --> 07:58.680
Y-Yes, sir! I'll work hard within reason!
07:58.680 --> 08:02.320
What brings you to the guild
hall this late, anyway?
08:02.320 --> 08:06.470
Oh, the quest we accepted took
a fair bit longer than anticipated.
08:06.470 --> 08:08.690
We actually just got back.
08:09.950 --> 08:12.400
There you are, Abel!
08:12.400 --> 08:17.370
Abel, we're supposed to report to the
guild master. Stop trying to escape.
08:17.630 --> 08:22.390
Er, I was just trying to do my duty
as a veteran to guide the new crop of—
08:22.390 --> 08:23.360
Warren?
08:26.730 --> 08:28.670
Warren, wait! Really?!
08:29.080 --> 08:31.180
I can walk on my own!
08:31.180 --> 08:33.380
Ryo, say something!
08:33.380 --> 08:35.340
Come on! Don't just stare!
08:35.890 --> 08:38.300
Uh, can I help you?
08:39.650 --> 08:40.790
Lyn...
08:40.790 --> 08:41.660
Coming.
08:41.980 --> 08:43.970
Terribly sorry, Ryo,
08:43.970 --> 08:49.110
but we need to check in with the
guild master, so we'll be taking Abel.
08:49.110 --> 08:53.290
Yeah, sure thing. He's the leader
of the Crimson Sword after all.
08:53.290 --> 08:55.070
Dispose of him as you see fit.
08:55.070 --> 08:57.200
Ryo! You traitor!
08:57.600 --> 09:01.660
Seriously, Warren, put me down!
You're making a fool out of me!
08:58.730 --> 09:01.660
That was... quite a sight.
09:01.660 --> 09:05.620
Oh, Miss Rihya! She's a genuine angel.
09:05.620 --> 09:08.330
Mr. Abel is so damn impressive.
09:08.330 --> 09:11.550
Huh? What about any of that
just now impressed you?
09:13.610 --> 09:16.260
Lyn, you really shouldn't stare.
09:16.260 --> 09:19.600
I mean, if Ryo is really some
kind of incredible magician,
09:19.600 --> 09:21.000
how couldn't I be interested?
09:21.000 --> 09:23.030
I'm sure you are, too.
09:23.030 --> 09:25.730
True as that might be...
09:25.730 --> 09:29.200
There's no need to rush.
You two will see soon enough.
09:29.590 --> 09:31.440
Just how strong he is.
09:31.440 --> 09:33.590
Still trying to sound cool, huh?
09:33.590 --> 09:34.810
Shut up!
09:38.110 --> 09:39.320
I'm heading out!
09:39.320 --> 09:42.200
Amon! There's no need to rush.
09:47.750 --> 09:49.000
Icicle Lance 4!
10:04.430 --> 10:05.810
Got you!
10:11.730 --> 10:13.320
Nicely done!
10:18.490 --> 10:21.210
Right... Thank you.
10:23.350 --> 10:27.080
There's something about your swordplay
that reminds me of Abel's.
10:27.440 --> 10:30.370
You said your teacher was a
former adventurer from your village?
10:30.370 --> 10:35.320
Oh, yes. An old fellow by the name of Keero.
10:35.320 --> 10:40.070
He apparently learned from
a major school in the royal capital...
10:40.070 --> 10:44.240
It was some famous style.
The Hume School, I think?
10:44.240 --> 10:46.100
That's where my style comes from.
10:46.100 --> 10:51.990
I see. I'm sure once you get your bearings,
you'll be incredibly strong.
10:51.990 --> 10:53.940
That's how Abel is.
10:54.410 --> 10:59.290
I thought you were a magician, Ryo,
but you seem well-versed in swordplay.
10:59.290 --> 11:03.740
Well, I had a mentor who would practice
with me a long time ago, but...
11:04.050 --> 11:07.580
Since my style is original,
I don't know if I'd say I'm well-versed.
11:08.360 --> 11:10.080
Caught your breath yet?
11:10.340 --> 11:12.450
Y-Yes! I'm fine!
11:12.450 --> 11:14.150
There's no need to force it, you know.
11:14.150 --> 11:16.920
Your fighting style seems pretty exhausting.
11:17.630 --> 11:19.880
You really think so?
11:19.880 --> 11:22.890
But, once mastered,
it will keep you from injury.
11:22.890 --> 11:25.100
It's a very safe fighting style.
11:25.100 --> 11:29.600
The important thing is upping your stamina.
I recommend all the running you can stomach.
11:29.600 --> 11:31.310
I-I see!
11:31.310 --> 11:35.660
Doing that consistently will be
your path to improvement.
11:36.130 --> 11:39.370
I traveled with Abel for a good while,
11:40.530 --> 11:44.490
and he'd always practice his
form first thing in the morning.
11:45.530 --> 11:49.700
He may be gifted with a sword,
but even the prodigious need to be diligent.
11:50.380 --> 11:51.880
Even Abel?
11:52.600 --> 11:57.040
I'll do it! I'll put in just as much effort!
11:57.360 --> 11:58.670
That's the spirit.
12:01.130 --> 12:03.520
Well, if you'll excuse me...
12:03.520 --> 12:06.430
Huh, not heading to the dungeon today?
12:06.430 --> 12:09.210
No, I have other plans.
12:25.430 --> 12:28.430
Is this your first time visiting our library?
12:28.430 --> 12:29.200
Yes.
12:30.330 --> 12:33.430
I didn't expect it to be this big.
12:35.010 --> 12:40.510
If you have no prior knowledge of alchemy,
I would recommend starting here.
12:40.510 --> 12:41.970
Thank you so much.
12:43.420 --> 12:46.930
Here's a guide to the basics,
and here's a recipe book...
12:48.630 --> 12:50.330
I don't know where to begin.
12:54.380 --> 12:58.040
I could really use my own copies
if I want to get serious about this.
12:58.040 --> 13:00.150
I wonder how much they'd cost.
13:13.990 --> 13:15.250
An eclipse?
13:21.190 --> 13:22.210
What's going on?
13:22.950 --> 13:24.680
What is this feeling?
13:25.050 --> 13:28.490
The entire world... feels different.
13:37.670 --> 13:39.410
What firepower!
13:40.890 --> 13:46.030
I see. So there's a human
mixed up in this now.
13:48.600 --> 13:53.080
Not that it'll matter...
once I get rid of you.
14:00.650 --> 14:04.460
This intensity... Could she be an akuma?
14:04.680 --> 14:07.470
She'd be equal to BeheBehe
and the gryphon. This is bad.
14:07.470 --> 14:09.700
Really bad! I need to run!
14:09.700 --> 14:12.600
But can I even escape from this strange space?
14:15.400 --> 14:16.850
I need magic reinforcement!
14:26.320 --> 14:27.610
Enough.
14:28.190 --> 14:29.570
Enough already!
14:34.780 --> 14:35.990
What?
14:40.250 --> 14:43.190
It was impressive enough that you
managed to guard against Hellfire.
14:43.190 --> 14:45.850
But to dispel Wind Lance
instead of being impaled...
14:46.240 --> 14:48.830
Wait, those robes you're wearing...
14:49.440 --> 14:51.590
They're from the Fairy King, aren't they?
14:52.620 --> 14:57.370
That would explain it. I guess I'll
have to cut you down the hard way.
14:58.110 --> 14:59.980
Either way...
15:00.600 --> 15:02.690
You're going to die!
15:15.400 --> 15:16.280
Too slow!
15:29.850 --> 15:32.260
She's fast! Is she using
wind magic for mobility?
15:42.640 --> 15:44.350
Our strikes are comparably swift.
15:44.350 --> 15:47.280
If I stay on the defensive,
she shouldn't be able to get me.
15:47.280 --> 15:51.000
Besides, her blows are nothing
compared to my teacher's.
15:52.600 --> 15:58.370
The Fairy King even gave you a sword.
Just who are you supposed to be?
16:02.110 --> 16:04.510
How are you casting that fast?
16:04.830 --> 16:06.330
You're a damn monster.
16:06.650 --> 16:08.160
That's rich, coming from you.
16:08.670 --> 16:10.880
You are truly too dangerous.
16:11.300 --> 16:12.300
Die.
16:25.160 --> 16:26.050
Now!
16:28.690 --> 16:30.230
Is that the best you can do?!
16:46.230 --> 16:47.540
This ends here!
17:03.220 --> 17:05.190
She's healing fast!
17:09.170 --> 17:10.940
Don't make me laugh, human!
17:55.960 --> 17:58.360
As much as it pains me, I'm out of time.
17:58.360 --> 18:01.770
I can't remember the last time
I enjoyed a battle like this.
18:01.770 --> 18:04.240
You are most entertaining, human.
18:04.550 --> 18:06.700
Would you get out of here already?
18:08.450 --> 18:11.260
I thought you were enjoying yourself too.
18:11.260 --> 18:13.750
And though I'd like to continue the fun...
18:13.750 --> 18:19.180
This cloister was a special case.
One that I have little control over.
18:19.520 --> 18:20.840
Cloister?
18:21.510 --> 18:25.660
I am called Leonore Urraca Alburquerque.
18:26.140 --> 18:27.480
And you?
18:27.480 --> 18:31.190
My name is Ryo, akuma.
18:31.930 --> 18:36.220
"Akuma"? You know of us, do you?
18:36.220 --> 18:39.150
It would seem I should have done
whatever it took to kill you.
18:39.150 --> 18:44.140
No, I suppose you're not the kind of foe
who can be dealt with under a time limit.
18:45.030 --> 18:46.210
So be it.
18:47.080 --> 18:49.680
Until we meet again, Ryo.
18:50.080 --> 18:51.800
I'd really rather not.
18:52.930 --> 18:59.960
Oh, come now. Given how strong you are,
we'll face each other again, like it or not.
19:00.540 --> 19:03.890
Whether it's me... or another one of us.
19:03.890 --> 19:05.160
"Us" who?
19:05.480 --> 19:10.490
Don't let anyone else kill you now.
Your life belongs to me.
19:11.020 --> 19:15.280
And I will be stronger the next we meet.
19:16.110 --> 19:18.210
Until then.
19:23.810 --> 19:25.800
I managed to survive somehow...
19:26.720 --> 19:30.700
Without this robe, there'd be
a hole where my shoulder is.
19:32.120 --> 19:35.260
I'm exhausted, hurting,
and my head is spinning...
19:36.000 --> 19:40.870
I guess I'll buy those books for now.
Which means I need to withdraw some money.
19:43.660 --> 19:46.810
I didn't think my account had that much in it.
19:47.390 --> 19:52.350
The guild master said he'd exchange the
wyvern magic stone we brought in short order,
19:52.350 --> 19:54.190
but was a single one really worth so much?
19:54.680 --> 19:57.360
Guess I won't have to worry
about money anytime soon.
19:57.360 --> 20:00.330
No need to work myself sweaty
to earn a living.
20:00.790 --> 20:03.280
What a wonderful thought that is.
20:04.750 --> 20:06.840
No one's back yet?
20:07.770 --> 20:12.910
I was hoping to get my shoulder treated,
but I guess I'll head to the bookstore first.
20:14.780 --> 20:15.660
What's that?
20:17.000 --> 20:21.090
If we weren't exhausted, you worms
would be in for a beating...
20:22.170 --> 20:25.220
Y'know, a bluff that blatant
is almost refreshing.
20:25.220 --> 20:27.580
Big talk for the guy who ambushed us!
20:27.580 --> 20:36.150
Come on, now. Do you lads expect the monsters
in a dungeon to warn you before they attack?
20:36.150 --> 20:39.690
You're exactly right.
Lower your guard at your own peril.
20:42.650 --> 20:43.680
Ryo!
20:43.990 --> 20:46.220
You made a great point.
20:46.560 --> 20:50.220
Did you expect me to warn you
before I attacked?
20:50.630 --> 20:52.510
Of course not, right?
20:52.510 --> 20:53.860
Bastard...
20:53.860 --> 20:55.580
That's Dan from Room 1!
20:55.580 --> 20:59.440
Oh, so you're Dan. What now?
20:59.440 --> 21:02.550
Ready to turn tail with your friends all down?
21:02.550 --> 21:04.340
Screw you!
21:06.470 --> 21:08.300
That's gotta hurt.
21:09.040 --> 21:12.610
I think I might still be on edge from earlier.
21:15.190 --> 21:18.600
Here's a potion. You're a priest,
so let's start with you.
21:18.940 --> 21:20.150
I appreciate it.
21:20.150 --> 21:26.150
You've been joining Amon for his morning
runs, right? This is the least I can do.
21:26.150 --> 21:29.240
That might be true, but this still kills me.
21:29.530 --> 21:32.290
Looks like you could all use
even more stamina.
21:33.480 --> 21:37.480
I know! Since I'm exhausted too,
why don't we go recuperate?
21:38.960 --> 21:43.150
Mother Goddess, lend me your healing hand.
21:43.150 --> 21:44.570
Lesser Heal.
21:49.550 --> 21:53.110
The pain's gone. You really are a priest!
21:53.110 --> 21:54.650
I appreciate it.
21:54.650 --> 21:59.240
The bone wasn't broken,
but that must have been one mighty blow.
21:59.240 --> 22:02.980
You'd have been in serious danger if
that struck your heart. What happened?
22:02.980 --> 22:07.550
That's actually where it was aimed,
but I dodged at the last second.
22:07.550 --> 22:09.160
I'm glad I survived.
22:09.160 --> 22:13.070
Wait, you're that strong
and you just barely dodged it?
22:13.070 --> 22:14.740
What exactly were you fighting?
22:14.960 --> 22:18.600
Well, if I get the chance,
I'll tell you all about it sometime.
22:20.040 --> 22:25.190
Leonore gets me on the ropes, and then
I bully a group of F-rank adventurers...
22:25.190 --> 22:27.030
I'm not looking great today.
22:28.170 --> 22:29.680
An akuma, huh?
22:30.040 --> 22:32.650
That "us" talk probably means
there's more where she came from.
22:32.970 --> 22:37.430
Then there's that strange space...
I've got a lot to figure out.
22:37.790 --> 22:40.270
But for right now...
