Allen : I haven't been here in ages. |
(0:00:06.61) |
Allen : Not since my court sorcerer exam, I suppose. |
(0:00:09.44) |
Allen : I really do feel that a Firebird without warning is in poor taste, |
(0:00:16.76) |
Allen : Lady Lydia Leinster. |
(0:00:21.64) |
Lydia Leinster : I appreciate the advice. |
(0:00:24.32) |
Lydia Leinster : More importantly, who do you think you are to keep me waiting? |
(0:00:26.48) |
Allen : I'm not even late, am I? |
(0:00:29.59) |
Allen : We haven't seen each other in so long. You could show a little re— |
(0:00:32.32) |
Lydia Leinster : You ought to have been in your seat before I got here. |
(0:00:34.82) |
Lydia Leinster : And my magic would never work on you, anyway. |
(0:00:38.61) |
Lydia Leinster : You can dispel it without breaking a sweat. |
(0:00:42.07) |
Lydia Leinster : Spout any more nonsense, and I'll give you a taste of my sword! |
(0:00:44.75) |
Allen : I'd rather you didn't. |
(0:00:48.56) |
Allen : I don't stand a chance of besting you at swordplay in this life or any other. |
(0:00:50.49) |
Allen : I'm sorry. |
(0:00:59.42) |
Lydia Leinster : For what, pray tell? |
(0:01:01.62) |
Lydia Leinster : Spell it out for me. |
(0:01:04.61) |
Allen : For taking a tutoring job without consulting you. |
(0:01:06.36) |
Lydia Leinster : And what else? |
(0:01:10.04) |
Allen : For not coming to see you between my return to the royal capital and today. |
(0:01:11.13) |
Lydia Leinster : And what else
? |
(0:01:15.54) |
Allen : For not telling you why I failed my court sorcerer exam. |
(0:01:17.75) |
Lydia Leinster : That will do. |
(0:01:23.01) |
Allen : Whoa there. |
(0:01:31.33) |
Lydia Leinster : I've been so lonely, you have no idea. |
(0:01:34.65) |
Allen : Sorry. |
(0:01:37.46) |
Lydia Leinster : Never leave without telling me again. |
(0:01:39.11) |
Lydia Leinster : If you must go, take me with you. |
(0:01:42.31) |
Allen : I'll do my best. |
(0:01:44.48) |
Allen : Ow! That hurts! |
(0:01:47.71) |
Allen : You'll break my bones! |
(0:01:49.11) |
Lydia Leinster : I think you meant, "No, I'll never do that again. Please forgive me, Mistress." |
(0:01:50.30) |
Allen : Since when am I your servant? |
(0:01:56.48) |
Allen : But... sorry. |
(0:01:59.62) |
Lydia Leinster : Unbelievable. |
(0:02:02.00) |
Allen : Anna. |
(0:02:04.96) |
Allen : No, it's quite all right. |
(0:02:11.15) |
Allen : Isn't it, Lydia? |
(0:02:13.51) |
Lydia Leinster : Yes. |
(0:02:15.28) |
Lydia Leinster : I can hear you. |
(0:02:24.54) |
Lydia Leinster : Now, sit down. |
(0:02:30.32) |
Allen : Oh, right. |
(0:02:32.51) |
Allen : I got you a souvenir. |
(0:02:33.59) |
Allen : Here you are. |
(0:02:36.01) |
Lydia Leinster : Th-Thank you. |
(0:02:39.22) |
Allen : And that dress looks lovely on you. |
(0:02:41.14) |
Allen : You're beautiful. |
(0:02:44.57) |
Lydia Leinster : Y-You don't say? |
(0:02:46.32) |
Allen : I know I wrote it in one of my letters, |
(0:02:48.80) |
Allen : but congratulations again on passing the court sorcerer exam. |
(0:02:51.46) |
Allen : And I hear you'll be graduating from the university at the top of our class. |
(0:02:55.00) |
Lydia Leinster : Yes. |
(0:02:58.84) |
Lydia Leinster : I assume you'll attend our graduation? |
(0:03:00.32) |
Allen : The professor told me to, |
(0:03:03.52) |
Allen : but to be honest, I'm nervous. |
(0:03:05.91) |
Allen : Has anyone ever graduated second in their class without a job lined up before? |
(0:03:08.00) |
Lydia Leinster : Do you plan to continue tutoring? |
(0:03:13.92) |
Allen : No, I wouldn't dream of it. |
(0:03:16.57) |
Allen : I'm not up to the task. |
(0:03:19.12) |
Lydia Leinster : Oh. |
(0:03:21.68) |
Allen : Thank you for the tea. |
(0:03:23.21) |
Lydia Leinster : So, what do you think? |
(0:03:24.64) |
Allen : What do I think about what? |
(0:03:26.46) |
Lydia Leinster : About Tina, of course. |
(0:03:27.86) |
Lydia Leinster : How did she become able to work magic so suddenly? |
(0:03:30.88) |
Allen : Oh, well, it's complicated. |
(0:03:34.99) |
Lydia Leinster : It sounds like there's something you haven't told me yet. |
(0:03:37.21) |
Allen : I don't mean to hide anything from you. |
(0:03:40.35) |
Allen : It's just... |
(0:03:42.74) |
Allen : there are things about Tina's mana that I'd like to study with care. |
(0:03:43.87) |
Lydia Leinster : So, what about the entrance exam? |
(0:03:49.68) |
Lydia Leinster : Feeling confident? |
(0:03:52.28) |
Allen : Yes. They must have started on the written exam by now. |
(0:03:53.89) |
Allen : Tina will place first this year. |
(0:03:59.43) |
Allen : And Ellie will certainly place high. |
(0:04:02.38) |
Lydia Leinster : Oh? |
(0:04:05.55) |
Lydia Leinster : Aren't you forgetting my sister, whom I trained personally? |
(0:04:06.72) |
Lydia Leinster : First place might be a bit too much to hope for. |
(0:04:09.70) |
Allen : I do think Lynne is an excellent student, but she's met her match. |
(0:04:12.12) |
Allen : Tina activated an advanced spell almost as soon as she learned to do magic. |
(0:04:15.94) |
Allen : I only know one other genius of her caliber. |
(0:04:20.68) |
Lydia Leinster : We'll learn the results in a week. |
(0:04:24.49) |
Lydia Leinster : I can hardly wait. |
(0:04:27.36) |
Allen : Me neither. |
(0:04:29.12) |
Lydia Leinster : And don't forget to call on me here every day from now on! |
(0:04:30.40) |
Allen : Every
day? |
(0:04:35.37) |
Lydia Leinster : That's an order! Are we clear?! |
(0:04:36.50) |
Allen : Yes, yes. Crystal clear. |
(0:04:39.41) |
Lydia Leinster : One "yes" is enough! |
(0:04:41.53) |
Allen : Yes. |
(0:04:43.30) |
Lydia Leinster : Much better. |
(0:04:45.35) |
Allen : They're both excellent students. |
(0:05:06.29) |
Allen : They deserve your praise. |
(0:05:08.54) |
Ellie Walker : Thank you very much. |
(0:05:14.00) |
Tina Howard : Father... |
(0:05:20.74) |
Allen : While I truly appreciate the offer, |
(0:05:33.48) |
Allen : I must decline. |
(0:05:36.47) |
Tina Howard : What?! |
(0:05:38.23) |
Ellie Walker : But why, sir? |
(0:05:39.12) |
Allen : Well... |
(0:05:41.43) |
Allen : You knew about that, then? |
(0:05:52.02) |
Tina Howard : Y-You, um, took the court sorcerer exam, then, sir? |
(0:05:59.19) |
Allen : I did. |
(0:06:04.25) |
Ellie Walker : F-Failed?! Mr. Allen
failed?! |
(0:06:14.47) |
Tina Howard : That can't be! |
(0:06:17.76) |
Tina Howard : If he ended up in last place, no one alive could pass! |
(0:06:19.02) |
Tina Howard : Are the examiners such a gaggle of fools that they can't see that?! |
(0:06:22.11) |
Allen : Tina... |
(0:06:28.62) |
Allen : Duke Walter, I think that's enough about— |
(0:06:43.60) |
Tina Howard : I want to know! |
(0:06:45.98) |
Ellie Walker : S-So do I! |
(0:06:47.04) |
Tina Howard : No... |
(0:07:08.15) |
Allen : I have no regrets. |
(0:07:10.66) |
Allen : I'm an orphan. |
(0:07:22.29) |
Allen : I don't know who my birth parents were. |
(0:07:25.75) |
Allen : The parents and sister I have now are of the Wolf Clan, |
(0:07:28.16) |
Allen : not blood relations of mine. |
(0:07:30.96) |
Allen : Even so, they raised me with care and gave me their love. |
(0:07:33.28) |
Allen : And Lydia... spares a thought or two for me as well. |
(0:07:39.41) |
Allen : I'm not so mature that I could hear them insulted and pass it off with a smile. |
(0:07:43.29) |
Allen : But I don't wish to trouble the people I owe so much over this matter. |
(0:07:50.78) |
Allen : Thank you. |
(0:08:09.61) |
Tina Howard : I... |
(0:08:10.92) |
Tina Howard : I don't like it! |
(0:08:12.39) |
Tina Howard : I won't say goodbye to Mr. Allen! I refuse! |
(0:08:14.11) |
Ellie Walker : My lady! |
(0:08:20.28) |
Allen : Tina, where are you?! |
(0:08:33.49) |
Allen : Tina! |
(0:08:35.61) |
Allen : Tina. |
(0:08:45.21) |
Allen : So this is where you've been. |
(0:08:47.06) |
Tina Howard : Are you really... going to resign? |
(0:08:52.14) |
Allen : Yes. You'll both be fine without me now. |
(0:08:55.88) |
Tina Howard : That won't do! |
(0:08:59.97) |
Tina Howard : It just won't! |
(0:09:01.64) |
Tina Howard : Because... because now I know! |
(0:09:02.97) |
Allen : What do you know? |
(0:09:07.81) |
Allen : I may resign, but I'll always be your tutor. |
(0:09:13.51) |
Allen : If you ever need me, I'll come running. |
(0:09:17.07) |
Tina Howard : Do you mean that? Really truly? |
(0:09:19.99) |
Allen : I do. |
(0:09:24.29) |
Tina Howard : Then, before you go... |
(0:09:26.34) |
Allen : P-Professor?! |
(0:09:52.86) |
Allen : Wh-Why do you look so pleased about this?! |
(0:10:05.14) |
Allen : I-Is that a threat?! |
(0:10:22.01) |
Allen : Professor, don't tell me... |
(0:10:31.06) |
Allen : You set me up, didn't you? |
(0:10:33.76) |
Ellie Walker : Aren't you glad, Lady Tina?! |
(0:10:58.85) |
Ellie Walker : To think we finally get to wear these uniforms! |
(0:11:01.72) |
Tina Howard : Yes, to think... |
(0:11:04.96) |
Ellie Walker : Is something the matter? |
(0:11:09.54) |
Tina Howard : N-N-N-Nothing at all! |
(0:11:11.85) |
Ellie Walker : You've been acting a little odd for a while now, |
(0:11:14.00) |
Ellie Walker : staring into space and sighing... |
(0:11:17.46) |
Tina Howard : I'm preoccupied with my entrance ceremony address! |
(0:11:19.75) |
Ellie Walker : Is that really all there is to it? |
(0:11:23.38) |
Tina Howard : Come in. |
(0:11:27.13) |
Stella Howard : Tina, Ellie! |
(0:11:28.74) |
Tina Howard : Stella! |
(0:11:30.88) |
Stella Howard : You both look so grown-up. |
(0:11:33.16) |
Tina Howard : N-Not as grown-up as you. |
(0:11:35.34) |
Tina Howard : I've been dying to see you. |
(0:11:40.70) |
Tina Howard : You didn't even come home for the winter holidays. |
(0:11:42.84) |
Tina Howard : I've been worried sick. |
(0:11:45.88) |
Stella Howard : I'm sorry. |
(0:11:48.07) |
Stella Howard : As I wrote in my letters, |
(0:11:49.60) |
Stella Howard : I've had my hands full with student council business. |
(0:11:51.36) |
Ellie Walker : You're serving as president, isn't that right? |
(0:11:54.70) |
Ellie Walker : I'm so proud of you! |
(0:11:58.12) |
Stella Howard : Thank you, Ellie. |
(0:12:00.24) |
Tina Howard : Have you already seen Father? |
(0:12:02.79) |
Stella Howard : No, not yet. |
(0:12:05.20) |
Stella Howard : I thought I would wait until after your exams were over to call on him. |
(0:12:07.63) |
Stella Howard : Congratulations on passing, both of you. |
(0:12:12.20) |
Stella Howard : I'm so impressed that you placed first |
(0:12:14.43) |
Stella Howard : when you've only just learned to do magic! |
(0:12:17.42) |
Tina Howard : All thanks to my tutor! |
(0:12:20.09) |
Stella Howard : You always mentioned him in your letters. |
(0:12:22.26) |
Stella Howard : Especially his mean streak. |
(0:12:24.96) |
Stella Howard : I'd like to meet him and express my gratitude. |
(0:12:26.90) |
Tina Howard : He'll be at the entrance ceremony! |
(0:12:29.64) |
Stella Howard : I look forward to seeing him there. |
(0:12:32.88) |
Tina Howard : Do you have time today? |
(0:12:34.50) |
Tina Howard : When will you go back to the dorms? |
(0:12:36.66) |
Stella Howard : I can stay until late this evening. |
(0:12:39.12) |
Stella Howard : In the meantime, we have so much catching up to do. |
(0:12:41.02) |
Tina Howard : Yes! |
(0:12:43.42) |
Tina Howard : This will be our school from now on. |
(0:12:57.04) |
Ellie Walker : I-It will, won't it? |
(0:12:59.84) |
Allen : Congratulations, girls. |
(0:13:01.66) |
Allen : Good morning. |
(0:13:03.98) |
Ellie Walker : Good morning, Allen, sir! |
(0:13:06.30) |
Tina Howard : Good morning... |
(0:13:09.36) |
Allen : Lydia threatened to incinerate me if I didn't. |
(0:13:15.37) |
Allen : I live in the working quarter, |
(0:13:19.91) |
Allen : so it took courage to go out in this. |
(0:13:22.34) |
Ellie Walker : Y-You look fabulous in it, sir! |
(0:13:25.33) |
Ellie Walker : Huh? Lady Tina? |
(0:13:27.73) |
Tina Howard : I-It's nothing! |
(0:13:30.24) |
Allen : Congratulations on starting school. |
(0:13:34.33) |
Allen : Those uniforms become you both wonderfully. |
(0:13:37.12) |
Allen : Oh, your ribbon is crooked. |
(0:13:39.92) |
Ellie Walker : Y-Yessir! |
(0:13:42.16) |
Allen : That's better. |
(0:13:43.94) |
Ellie Walker : Thank you mery vuch. |
(0:13:45.64) |
Ellie Walker : U-Um... |
(0:13:48.82) |
Allen : Yes? |
(0:13:50.18) |
Ellie Walker : I heard you're going to stay on as our tutor. |
(0:13:51.36) |
Ellie Walker : I'm so, so glad! |
(0:13:55.51) |
Allen : I'm honored to hear you say so. |
(0:13:57.94) |
Allen : I hope we'll have many more lessons together. |
(0:14:00.19) |
Ellie Walker : Y-Yessir! |
(0:14:02.88) |
Ellie Walker : But what made you reconsider? |
(0:14:04.56) |
Allen : Oh, well... This and that. |
(0:14:08.57) |
Ellie Walker : Yes'm! |
(0:14:16.64) |
Tina Howard : Sir... |
(0:14:18.01) |
Allen : You have no need to worry. |
(0:14:19.93) |
Allen : I'll be watching from the audience. |
(0:14:21.92) |
Allen : Good luck with your speech. |
(0:14:23.96) |
Tina Howard : Right. |
(0:14:27.09) |
Ellie Walker : 'Til later, Allen, sir! Grandma! |
(0:14:30.16) |
Lynee Leinster : Oh, Dear Brother! |
(0:14:36.42) |
Allen : Hello, Lynne. |
(0:14:39.05) |
Lynee Leinster : Good morning to you, Dear Brother. |
(0:14:40.43) |
Lynee Leinster : You look positively marvelous! |
(0:14:42.84) |
Allen : Thank you. |
(0:14:45.72) |
Allen : But I wish you wouldn't call me that. It invites misunderstandings. |
(0:14:46.98) |
Allen : Duchess Lisa. It's been too long. |
(0:14:52.87) |
Allen : Lisa. |
(0:15:03.12) |
Allen : I appreciate the sentiment, |
(0:15:11.07) |
Allen : but putting it like that invites misunderstandings. |
(0:15:12.79) |
Allen : It's nothing. |
(0:15:16.71) |
Allen : She really must have wanted to see Lynne's big day. |
(0:15:29.82) |
Ellie Walker : My lady, calm down. |
(0:15:51.42) |
Tina Howard : I... I know. I'll be fine. |
(0:15:53.35) |
Ellie Walker : Oh, here comes the rain. |
(0:15:55.60) |
Lynee Leinster : At least it isn't snow. |
(0:15:58.54) |
Lynee Leinster : I can't stand the cold. |
(0:16:00.78) |
Ellie Walker : A-Aren't you Duke Leinster's...? |
(0:16:03.97) |
Tina Howard : She's Lady Lydia's sister, Lynne. |
(0:16:07.76) |
Tina Howard : I
can't stand the heat! |
(0:16:10.36) |
Lynee Leinster : You snatched the top spot from me, |
(0:16:16.09) |
Lynee Leinster : but there's no need to choose between us. |
(0:16:18.42) |
Lynee Leinster : I'd be happy to speak in your place if the thought of it makes you so nervous, |
(0:16:20.98) |
Lynee Leinster : Miss First Place. |
(0:16:25.01) |
Tina Howard : This is my miracle! Mr. Allen gave it to me, |
(0:16:26.25) |
Tina Howard : and I refuse to give it up! |
(0:16:29.15) |
Allen : Yes. |
(0:16:36.15) |
Allen : Is that... |
(0:16:39.61) |
Allen : Caren?! |
(0:16:42.26) |
Allen : I had no idea. |
(0:16:48.20) |
Caren : The Royal Academy matriculation ceremony will now commence. |
(0:16:54.91) |
Caren : I will serve as your master of ceremonies. |
(0:16:59.66) |
Caren : My name is Caren, and I am vice president of the student council. |
(0:17:02.94) |
Caren : As you can see, I am of the Wolf Clan. |
(0:17:06.59) |
Caren : I appreciate your understanding. |
(0:17:10.99) |
Allen : I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. |
(0:17:21.70) |
Allen : Oh, you needn't go that far. |
(0:17:28.16) |
Allen : What is she planning to do to them? |
(0:17:30.67) |
Caren : Please turn your attention to the sky. |
(0:17:32.96) |
Caren : The gentleman who just raised a barrier against the rain |
(0:17:43.70) |
Caren : is our headmaster, Lord Rodde. |
(0:17:47.08) |
Caren : He will address you shortly. |
(0:17:51.26) |
Caren : Thank you, Headmaster. |
(0:17:53.71) |
Caren : We will now hear from a representative of the incoming class. |
(0:17:59.11) |
Caren : Tina Howard. |
(0:18:03.47) |
Tina Howard : H-Here! |
(0:18:04.68) |
Allen : She's a bundle of nerves. |
(0:18:15.82) |
Ellie Walker : My lady! |
(0:18:20.41) |
Tina Howard : S-Sorry about that! |
(0:18:23.70) |
Caren : It's all right. |
(0:18:27.20) |
Caren : Good luck. |
(0:18:28.84) |
Tina Howard : R-Right! |
(0:18:30.00) |
Tina Howard : I am Tina Howard, and I have the honor of addressing you all this year. |
(0:18:46.56) |
Tina Howard : I hope you will pardon me for that disgraceful display. |
(0:18:51.52) |
Tina Howard : To tell the truth, when I learned I would be speaking, |
(0:18:56.00) |
Tina Howard : I felt conflicted. |
(0:18:59.33) |
Tina Howard : I worried whether I had any right to address you, |
(0:19:01.54) |
Tina Howard : because, as many of you no doubt already know, |
(0:19:04.58) |
Tina Howard : although I was born into the Ducal House of Howard, |
(0:19:09.12) |
Tina Howard : I could not cast a single spell until my thirteenth year. |
(0:19:11.77) |
Tina Howard : To be frank, I had given up. |
(0:19:16.30) |
Tina Howard : I thought I had no right to dream, |
(0:19:19.12) |
Tina Howard : that I had no choice but to live out my days without extravagant hopes. |
(0:19:21.36) |
Tina Howard : Yet here I am now. |
(0:19:27.39) |
Tina Howard : I, who could do no magic until three short months ago... |

Tina Howard : I wonder if I'm dreaming, |
(0:19:36.01) |
Tina Howard : if perhaps I'll wake up in the room where I used to cry in secret. |
(0:19:38.70) |
Tina Howard : I learned magic thanks to a person I met. |
(0:19:44.99) |
Tina Howard : I'm grateful to him, |
(0:19:50.13) |
Tina Howard : so grateful that I could never thank him enough. |
(0:19:52.34) |
Tina Howard : I have always dreamed of being able to do magic. |
(0:19:56.33) |
Tina Howard : But that alone can't satisfy me now. |
(0:20:00.98) |
Tina Howard : I want to learn more spells. More and more and more! |
(0:20:04.80) |
Tina Howard : Anything to reach that person. |
(0:20:09.45) |
Tina Howard : Anything to repay him in some way! |
(0:20:12.38) |
Tina Howard : So that one day, I can pass on the miracle I've received to someone else! |
(0:20:15.53) |
Tina Howard : I'm chasing that new dream now. |
(0:20:21.84) |
Tina Howard : I probably can't imagine how hard and steep the road ahead will be, |
(0:20:26.17) |
Tina Howard : but I can't give up. |
(0:20:32.38) |
Tina Howard : Because now I know: |
(0:20:35.00) |
Tina Howard : dreams can
come true! |
(0:20:38.36) |
Tina Howard : My new classmates, let us all strive together. |
(0:20:44.75) |

(0:20:49.09) |

(0:21:20.02) |

(0:21:22.88) |

(0:21:29.01) |
Stella Howard : I needn't tell you that we have the highest standards of any school in the kingdom. |

(0:21:38.97) |

(0:21:45.74) |
Stella Howard : Your true journey starts this very moment. |
(0:21:49.07) |
Stella Howard : I don't mean to intimidate you, but our school is a most demanding place. |
(0:21:52.67) |
Stella Howard : Only half of you will manage to graduate in the recommended three years. |
(0:21:56.80) |
Stella Howard : It is a fact that challenging studies and intense training |
(0:22:01.34) |
Stella Howard : dash the hopes and dreams of many. |
(0:22:04.99) |
Stella Howard : But this is also a place that will help you grow by leaps and bounds. |
(0:22:09.27) |
Stella Howard : When I arrived here, I was closer to the bottom than the top of my class. |
(0:22:14.24) |
Stella Howard : Yes, even though I am Duke Howard's eldest daughter. |
(0:22:19.24) |
Stella Howard : But now I stand before you as president of our student council. |
(0:22:22.67) |

(0:22:28.75) |

(0:22:33.70) |

(0:22:37.90) |

(0:22:57.96) |
Allen : The headmaster is infamous for his long speeches. |
(0:23:01.80) |
Allen : Be careful, lest you fall under his sleeping spell. |
(0:23:05.16) |
Lydia Leinster : Out of the goodness of my heart, |
(0:23:27.78) |
Lydia Leinster : I usually let people choose how they want to die, |
(0:23:29.62) |
Lydia Leinster : but you lot don't get a choice. |
(0:23:33.60) |
Lydia Leinster : Get ready to be slashed and burned. |
(0:23:36.64) |
