1
00:00:03,790 --> 00:00:09,130
To prevent you from injuring each other, 
I hereby ban any lethal spells.

2
00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:11,840
If you agree to the above, please sign.

3
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:13,720
They...

4
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:16,720
They all came to watch!

5
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:19,230
It sure is a lively crowd.

6
00:00:19,230 --> 00:00:21,730
How can you be so calm about it?

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,580
Um... Please don't let either 
of them get hurt! Please!

8
00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:27,650
Yoo-hoo.

9
00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:29,280
Esther-senpai?

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,530
Are you going to watch as well?

11
00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:32,490
Well, yes.

12
00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:37,870
It's our chance to see how our adorable 
Mimi fights, right here on campus.

13
00:00:37,870 --> 00:00:40,750
It's still Seiran's test, though.

14
00:00:41,330 --> 00:00:45,750
We shall now commence Seiran Lidsey's 
combat effectiveness examination.

15
00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:49,340
Both parties must make 
every effort to avoid injury.

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,720
And now, you may begin.

17
00:02:36,860 --> 00:02:38,870
Well, if you're not going to attack...

18
00:03:00,140 --> 00:03:02,220
Wow, Mimi really is powerful.

19
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:04,990
But isn't the other girl awesome? 
She's dodging everything.

20
00:03:04,990 --> 00:03:09,480
Wow. And they're both only fourteen?

21
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,070
I don't know if I should be 
impressed or terrified.

22
00:03:23,740 --> 00:03:25,120
Of course.

23
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,420
Thank you. I'll be all right.

24
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:37,470
She is fourteen, after all.

25
00:03:42,930 --> 00:03:45,180
I've got to force her into closer combat.

26
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:52,360
Even that didn't work.

27
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,440
I'm going to need a new strategy.

28
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,870
I have to say, this is 
a pretty uneven test.

29
00:04:06,870 --> 00:04:10,960
Even though it was your idea 
to begin with?

30
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,250
Huh? You were all for it too, 
Professor Omi.

31
00:04:15,250 --> 00:04:17,970
It's still an interesting 
matchup, in any case.

32
00:04:26,650 --> 00:04:30,560
This is so frustrating. 
I can tell Mimi's going easy on me.

33
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,860
Sheena, are you watching?

34
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:35,650
I have to prove myself.

35
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,030
I have to prove myself!

36
00:04:38,030 --> 00:04:40,400
Or else I... and then Ari will...

37
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,540
Hmm? That's not even close.

38
00:04:55,130 --> 00:04:56,130
Oh, sh—

39
00:04:58,210 --> 00:04:58,920
Huh?

40
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,550
Mimi, stop!

41
00:05:04,890 --> 00:05:06,220
That's enough.

42
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,610
Oh, sorry! I forgot the spiky 
magic wasn't allowed!

43
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:15,980
Are you okay?

44
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:20,110
Seiran Lidsey.

45
00:05:21,150 --> 00:05:22,360
Sportsmanship.

46
00:05:24,780 --> 00:05:26,280
Thank you very much.

47
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,450
It's all over.

48
00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:29,830
Mimi was awesome.

49
00:05:28,830 --> 00:05:30,620
There's no way she'd beat her.

50
00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:35,130
That was always going to be the result. 
What did you hope to achieve?

51
00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:40,050
Don't you think it's a good way 
to teach the warmongers a lesson?

52
00:05:40,380 --> 00:05:43,220
The students here are still mere children.

53
00:05:43,220 --> 00:05:46,220
Throwing them into battle isn't 
going to resolve tactical issues.

54
00:05:52,730 --> 00:05:55,440
I was absolutely no match for her.

55
00:05:57,020 --> 00:06:00,150
If she hadn't been stopped, 
I might have...

56
00:06:08,330 --> 00:06:11,580
Wow, even a small wound hurts this much.

57
00:06:14,430 --> 00:06:15,500
Kagari-san?

58
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,290
Could you please open 
the door more quietly?

59
00:06:18,290 --> 00:06:19,840
Oh. Seiran.

60
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,340
You're bleeding.

61
00:06:21,340 --> 00:06:23,170
It's not a big deal.

62
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,180
I just got a little scratch 
during our mock battle.

63
00:06:26,180 --> 00:06:30,010
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.

64
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,850
So you really weren't fighting seriously.

65
00:06:32,850 --> 00:06:33,640
Huh?

66
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,980
I was! I was seriously fighting to win!

67
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:42,710
It was my own lack of experience that got 
me injured. I don't need you to apologi—

68
00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:43,740
But I...

69
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:47,820
But I don't like getting hurt either.

70
00:06:48,820 --> 00:06:50,530
I don't like pain.

71
00:06:51,580 --> 00:06:56,210
And it makes the person 
waiting for me sad.

72
00:06:56,620 --> 00:06:59,210
She was really worried about that?

73
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:00,380
What about you, Seiran?

74
00:07:00,380 --> 00:07:01,050
Huh?

75
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:08,890
Don't you hate pain, too? 
And don't you hate seeing Ari upset?

76
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,930
Well...

77
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:18,980
I do. I hate it. But...

78
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:22,730
I still need to become stronger, 
to prove myself,

79
00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:26,240
so I can go into lots of battles 
and make a difference.

80
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,570
Huh? Why?

81
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,830
To give back to the school. 
Well, that's part of it.

82
00:07:33,340 --> 00:07:39,000
Most of all, I never want to see 
Ari shed blood on the battlefield.

83
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,710
So I have to work hard enough 
for the both of us.

84
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:46,720
I don't have the luxury 
of worrying about injuries.

85
00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:52,100
I can't waste time complaining about pain 
or second-guessing myself in a fight.

86
00:07:54,470 --> 00:07:58,390
Because I'm fighting to protect Ari.

87
00:08:01,810 --> 00:08:05,820
You and Sheena say totally 
different things, Seiran.

88
00:08:06,610 --> 00:08:08,110
I wonder why.

89
00:08:11,730 --> 00:08:13,620
I think it's okay if we're different.

90
00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:19,330
Sheena has things that 
she wants to protect, too.

91
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:24,040
But what about you?

92
00:08:24,460 --> 00:08:25,170
Huh?

93
00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:30,180
Kagari-san, what are you fighting for?

94
00:08:35,470 --> 00:08:36,890
What do you mean?!

95
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:39,180
Exactly what I said.

96
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,480
Starting with the next battle, we will be 
deploying number 1419 to the front.

97
00:08:45,270 --> 00:08:47,730
Weren't you watching the mock battle?

98
00:08:48,190 --> 00:08:52,030
She's the top student in her class, 
and even she couldn't cut it!

99
00:08:52,030 --> 00:08:54,160
Have you forgotten 
what happened last time?

100
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,410
A class 14 student 
won't last even a minute in batt—

101
00:08:59,410 --> 00:09:00,960
She {\i1}volunteered.{\i0}

102
00:09:03,130 --> 00:09:08,670
Seiran Lidsey told me herself that she 
wants to go into battle immediately.

103
00:09:09,260 --> 00:09:13,510
I believe we should 
respect her wishes and...

104
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,150
She was on the verge of death 
when we rescued her from the slums.

105
00:09:31,150 --> 00:09:36,070
Her steadfast companion, Ari Mode, 
was serving as a maid in a brothel.

106
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:42,080
Girls brought up like that worry they'll 
be discarded if they aren't useful.

107
00:09:42,450 --> 00:09:45,000
Their sense of duty 
is much stronger than most.

108
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:50,960
We get those kids on the hook, 
treat them like pawns,

109
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,090
and then let them die leaving nothing 
behind—not even their bones.

110
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:58,010
This damn "school" 
makes me want to throw up.

111
00:09:58,850 --> 00:10:00,970
You may have a point.

112
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:08,610
However, it is nonetheless true 
that this facility rescues children

113
00:10:08,610 --> 00:10:10,030
who otherwise have no future.

114
00:10:11,690 --> 00:10:16,450
It is our duty to continue teaching 
these children so they can graduate

115
00:10:16,450 --> 00:10:18,120
and leave here alive.

116
00:10:18,990 --> 00:10:20,240
Is it not?

117
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,460
Yes, it is.

118
00:10:31,870 --> 00:10:37,470
This is an orphanage that takes in 
children who have nowhere to go

119
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:39,300
and trains them for war—

120
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:42,970
also known as the National Warfare 
Sorcery Weapon Training Institute.

121
00:10:43,890 --> 00:10:48,690
It accepts boys and girls from ten to 
seventeen years old, groups them by age,

122
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:50,230
and trains them in magic,

123
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:55,650
a mysterious power that everyone 
is born with to some extent.

124
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,780
Attention. Attention.

125
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:58,450
The following students are to report to 
the front gate and prepare for deployment:

126
00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:58,990
It trains them to kill.

127
00:10:58,990 --> 00:11:00,530
1407,

128
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,950
1419,

129
00:11:03,410 --> 00:11:05,000
1503,

130
00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:07,210
1509,

131
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:09,290
1511.

132
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:09,290
I'll see you later.

133
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,980
Take care.

134
00:11:35,850 --> 00:11:37,240
Seiran-chan.

135
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,450
Ms. Fran?

136
00:11:41,070 --> 00:11:44,660
Don't let yourself forget 
that you aren't Mimi.

137
00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:46,790
I realize that.

138
00:11:47,370 --> 00:11:49,500
It was made clear to me during the test.

139
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,380
I am still lacking in skill 
and strength. But I—

140
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:55,440
You aren't immortal, damn it!

141
00:11:56,510 --> 00:11:57,340
Huh?

142
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,720
You are not immortal.

143
00:12:00,330 --> 00:12:02,550
You're just fourteen, 
and you're only human.

144
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,270
In battle, you could die at any moment. 
And once you do, you're never coming back.

145
00:12:09,230 --> 00:12:13,230
If you want to serve the school, 
then get stronger by living.

146
00:12:14,050 --> 00:12:14,850
Listen.

147
00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:19,320
The most important thing you 
can do is come back alive.

148
00:12:20,820 --> 00:12:21,780
Yes, ma'am.

149
00:12:39,260 --> 00:12:40,930
Yoo-hoo, Ari-chan.

150
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,260
Esther-senpai?

151
00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:45,100
Good after...

152
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,560
Oh, I guess it's already good evening.

153
00:12:48,270 --> 00:12:49,310
I suppose it is.

154
00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:51,690
Mind if I sit with you?

155
00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:53,100
Be my guest.

156
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:58,440
Are you alone today? 
Aren't you always with Seiran-chan?

157
00:12:59,950 --> 00:13:02,280
Right now, she's...

158
00:13:04,530 --> 00:13:05,490
I see.

159
00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:09,580
Ari-chan.

160
00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:11,290
Y-Yes?

161
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:15,880
Forget about "tomorrow" or "someday." 
Treasure what you have right now.

162
00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:17,510
Well, that's what they say.

163
00:13:19,460 --> 00:13:21,010
Thank you very much.

164
00:13:23,170 --> 00:13:25,680
I hope she makes it back okay.

165
00:13:26,930 --> 00:13:27,890
Yes.

166
00:13:31,140 --> 00:13:32,270
Ari!

167
00:13:33,060 --> 00:13:34,190
I think they're back!

168
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,650
Sheena!

169
00:13:41,570 --> 00:13:43,570
Mimi! Seiran!

170
00:13:43,940 --> 00:13:45,060
I'm home!

171
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,870
Welcome back.

172
00:13:47,330 --> 00:13:49,450
Today, we got home super early!

173
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,830
I'm so glad you're both safe.

174
00:13:54,110 --> 00:13:55,420
Y-Yeah.

175
00:13:59,420 --> 00:14:02,170
Hey, hey! I'm hungry!

176
00:14:02,170 --> 00:14:04,680
Let's go to the cafeteria! 
I want to eat some rice!

177
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:06,550
Uh... Ah, okay.

178
00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:07,350
Sorry.

179
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,310
I'm kind of worn out. 
I'm heading back to my room.

180
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:13,770
You guys can go without me.

181
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,520
You aren't gonna eat with us, Seiran?

182
00:14:18,610 --> 00:14:20,030
See you tomorrow.

183
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,400
Let's go get a bite.

184
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,240
Yeah!

185
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,920
I killed a person.

186
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:42,050
Okay.

187
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,890
The enemy pointed a wand at me, 
and I returned fire as we were taught.

188
00:14:52,390 --> 00:14:55,560
Their body was ripped apart.

189
00:14:56,980 --> 00:15:02,360
It was so scary. 
People can die just like that.

190
00:15:03,930 --> 00:15:08,820
Afterward, I couldn't do anything. 
I was totally useless.

191
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,200
Even though I only killed one person.

192
00:15:13,340 --> 00:15:16,040
Even though I thought 
I was ready to fight.

193
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,050
I'm so ashamed of myself.

194
00:15:22,540 --> 00:15:23,800
Seiran.

195
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,760
Having doubts about taking a life 
doesn't mean you are weak.

196
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,970
Please don't say that you're ashamed.

197
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,730
You fought bravely and you survived. 
You fulfilled your duty.

198
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,400
And everything you fought 
to protect is still right here.

199
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:49,120
Isn't that right?

200
00:15:50,010 --> 00:15:53,870
So come on. Keep your chin up, Seiran.

201
00:15:55,540 --> 00:15:56,330
Mm-hmm.

202
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:01,750
Thank you for coming home to me.

203
00:16:15,060 --> 00:16:17,770
Good morning. Did you sleep well?

204
00:16:18,390 --> 00:16:19,230
Mm-hmm.

205
00:16:23,610 --> 00:16:25,030
What's this?

206
00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:28,990
It's like a letter. I used magic 
to fill it with writing.

207
00:16:28,990 --> 00:16:31,530
Wow. You're so talented.

208
00:16:32,070 --> 00:16:34,370
It almost seems like a waste to read it.

209
00:16:34,910 --> 00:16:37,480
Think of it as a good-luck charm, okay?

210
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,710
But bringing this into battle is...

211
00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:43,330
Please take it with you.

212
00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:53,760
It's beautiful, just like 
your eyes. Thank you.

213
00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:59,890
Hey, hey. What's that thing 
you've been holding?

214
00:16:59,890 --> 00:17:02,480
This? It's something Ari gave me.

215
00:17:02,990 --> 00:17:04,810
It's pretty. A gem?

216
00:17:05,570 --> 00:17:09,320
No, it's glass. But she said 
she filled it with writing.

217
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,780
Oh, I've seen that! 
The creepy-crawly words!

218
00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:15,370
This might sound childish, 
but I like things like this.

219
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:21,370
Sparkly accessories, brand new clothes, 
pretty things like that.

220
00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:27,300
You know what? I don't think 
I ever actually told her that.

221
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:35,050
I guess Ari really does 
know me inside out.

222
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,100
Look, look!

223
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:40,930
A flower crown! Sheena gave it to me.

224
00:17:40,930 --> 00:17:43,480
I always keep it in my pocket.

225
00:17:43,940 --> 00:17:45,190
It's very pretty.

226
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:46,650
I know.

227
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:50,740
Ah, I hope we can go home soon.

228
00:17:50,740 --> 00:17:51,990
Me too.

229
00:17:52,780 --> 00:17:53,990
Unit C, move out.

230
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,450
I gotta go.

231
00:17:58,700 --> 00:17:59,740
Seiran!

232
00:18:00,450 --> 00:18:02,250
See you later, okay?

233
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:03,750
Yeah.

234
00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:14,380
S-Somebody help me!

235
00:18:21,980 --> 00:18:23,230
Are you all right?

236
00:18:23,980 --> 00:18:25,230
I owe you one.

237
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,360
It's fine. But you're 
losing a lot of blood.

238
00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:33,360
Please try to stay still. 
I'll administer a hemostatic agent.

239
00:18:48,540 --> 00:18:51,050
Thank goodness. The bleeding stopped.

240
00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:53,210
Hey. Is someone hurt?

241
00:18:53,210 --> 00:18:54,170
Yes.

242
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,140
The bleeding's stopped, 
but the wound is deep.

243
00:19:00,140 --> 00:19:02,810
All right. I'll take him with me.

244
00:19:02,810 --> 00:19:04,100
Thank you.

245
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,310
Say, you're the girl from class 14, right?

246
00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:09,110
Yes.

247
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,320
There's a huge number of enemies 
today compared to last time.

248
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,090
Don't let your guard down.

249
00:19:15,090 --> 00:19:15,950
All right.

250
00:19:21,950 --> 00:19:25,120
I'm so glad I was able to save someone.

251
00:19:25,910 --> 00:19:29,290
The most important thing you 
can do is come back alive.

252
00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:33,710
She's right. The most important 
thing is making it back alive.

253
00:19:34,130 --> 00:19:37,130
Being able to mourn one fewer 
sacrifice, even if it's just one.

254
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,310
What... was that?

255
00:19:45,890 --> 00:19:47,190
Why...

256
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,350
Why is the sky...?

257
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,160
My back feels hot.

258
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,410
Is this blood?

259
00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:06,790
Did I use up all the hemostatic?

260
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,000
What do I do? What do I do?

261
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,550
What do I do, Ari?

262
00:20:18,930 --> 00:20:22,180
Oh, right. I need to make it home.

263
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:28,690
Are we all out of hemostatic?

264
00:20:27,850 --> 00:20:28,690
Over here, please.

265
00:20:28,690 --> 00:20:31,350
Hurry! Her breathing's really shallow!

266
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:40,070
Oh, Seiran!

267
00:20:41,820 --> 00:20:44,990
There you are. Wow, you're a mess!

268
00:20:45,380 --> 00:20:46,740
Let's hurry home.

269
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:48,870
Yeah.

270
00:20:50,420 --> 00:20:56,420
I wonder what's for dinner tonight. 
I bet Sheena's still in class.

271
00:20:56,420 --> 00:20:58,170
Hmm? Seiran?

272
00:20:59,170 --> 00:21:03,300
I'm okay. It doesn't hurt anymore.

273
00:21:04,050 --> 00:21:07,560
But you look really pale.

274
00:21:08,430 --> 00:21:11,770
Well, it's so cold here.

275
00:21:13,530 --> 00:21:14,980
Seiran?

276
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:20,990
I have to come back... alive.

277
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:04,940
Hey, did you just hear something?

278
00:22:04,940 --> 00:22:06,490
Probably your imagination.
