Lydia Leinster : You think you're
good enough to insult him
? Not in a million years. |
(0:01:43.36) |
Lydia Leinster : Gerard, |
(0:01:54.29) |
Lydia Leinster : you're next. |
(0:01:55.87) |
Allen : That's enough. |
(0:02:00.76) |
Lydia Leinster : H-How did you get here? |
(0:02:05.58) |
Allen : I received a message and came running. |
(0:02:07.82) |
Allen : What happened to spoil such a special day? |
(0:02:10.16) |
Lydia Leinster : With all due respect, this isn't the place. |
(0:02:33.54) |
Lydia Leinster : I believe Your Majesty is well aware. |
(0:02:38.66) |
Allen : Your Majesty, |
(0:03:25.78) |
Allen : may I say a few words? |
(0:03:27.55) |
Allen : Thank you, sir. |
(0:03:39.04) |
Allen : Lady Lydia has won renown as the Lady of the Sword. |
(0:03:41.24) |
Allen : She would never draw that sword without just cause. |
(0:03:44.85) |
Allen : After more than four years at her side, I know that better than anyone. |
(0:03:47.85) |
Allen : Lady Lydia has told you that she cannot state her reasons in this place. |
(0:03:54.12) |
Allen : I beseech you to consider her intentions. |
(0:04:00.39) |
Allen : Prince Gerard. |
(0:04:31.15) |
Allen : I will happily accept any insults you direct at me personally. |
(0:04:32.98) |
Allen : However, I cannot stand by while you slander Her Highness and my family. |
(0:04:36.51) |
Allen : Your Royal Highness just wielded a sword of words, |
(0:04:41.65) |
Allen : a keen blade capable of mortally wounding a heart. |
(0:04:45.47) |
Allen : Suppose—and this is merely speculation, mind you— |
(0:04:49.99) |
Allen : but is it conceivable that Lady Lydia drew her own blade |
(0:04:53.48) |
Allen : in answer to Your Royal Highness's sword of words? |
(0:04:55.86) |
Allen : Sorry. |
(0:05:26.54) |
Allen : I guess that won't look good on your record. |
(0:05:27.61) |
Lydia Leinster : You got it worse. |
(0:05:30.72) |
Allen : "I forbid you to enter the palace except by express permission?" |
(0:05:32.68) |
Allen : It seems like a fair compromise to me, with the prince's reputation to consider. |
(0:05:36.99) |
Lydia Leinster : But still... |
(0:05:41.34) |
Allen : Lydia, you lost your temper on my behalf, didn't you? |
(0:05:43.04) |
Allen : Thank you. |
(0:05:48.27) |
Allen : Professor. Gil. You were there? |
(0:05:54.36) |
Allen : You sat back and watched when your students were in peril? |
(0:06:00.32) |
Lydia Leinster : Make yourself useful once in a while. |
(0:06:03.60) |
Tina Howard : Shelley! |
(0:06:36.41) |
Tina Howard : Wait, where's Mr. Allen? |
(0:06:40.94) |
Tina Howard : That explains why I lost sight of him partway through the ceremony. |
(0:06:54.64) |
Ellie Walker : Then shall we call on the Leinsters posthaste? |
(0:06:59.62) |
Lynee Leinster : Huh? |
(0:07:04.64) |
Lynee Leinster : Huh? |
(0:07:08.51) |
Lynee Leinster : Huh?! |
(0:07:09.64) |
Ellie Walker : We hoped that we might take this opportunity to accompany you. |
(0:07:12.00) |
Tina Howard : Start driving. |
(0:07:14.62) |
Lynee Leinster : What's going on here?! |
(0:07:20.90) |
Allen : Well then, give my best to Lisa. |
(0:07:27.00) |
Lydia Leinster : Not so fast. |
(0:07:30.07) |
Lydia Leinster : Stay the night. |
(0:07:32.40) |
Allen : On such short notice? I couldn't possibly. |
(0:07:33.87) |
Lydia Leinster : What's the problem? It's just one night. |
(0:07:36.66) |
Allen : I have lessons to prepare. |
(0:07:38.75) |
Allen : I'll call again. |
(0:07:41.10) |
Lydia Leinster : Wait! |
(0:07:47.80) |
Allen : Lydia? |
(0:07:51.81) |
Lydia Leinster : Don't look at me. |
(0:07:54.08) |
Lydia Leinster : Stay put and listen. |
(0:07:55.82) |
Lydia Leinster : Remember: You can't leave me. |
(0:07:58.52) |
Lydia Leinster : What does it matter that I'm a duke's daughter and you're a commoner? |
(0:08:02.31) |
Lydia Leinster : If anyone tries to tear us apart, |
(0:08:07.15) |
Lydia Leinster : I'll renounce my house. |
(0:08:10.71) |
Lydia Leinster : Then I'll go abroad with you. |
(0:08:12.70) |
Allen : Lydia... |
(0:08:17.67) |
Lydia Leinster : Didn't I tell you not to look at me? |
(0:08:18.20) |
Allen : Sorry. |
(0:08:21.27) |
Lydia Leinster : As punishment... |
(0:08:22.61) |
Allen : As punishment? |
(0:08:24.43) |
Lydia Leinster : Come see me every day. |
(0:08:27.35) |
Allen : Huh? |
(0:08:30.46) |
Allen : Ow, ow, ow. |
(0:08:31.85) |
Allen : Sorry. I heard you. |
(0:08:33.04) |
Allen : I'll come as often as I can. |
(0:08:34.66) |
Lydia Leinster : Unbelievable. The nerve of you... |
(0:08:37.34) |
Tina Howard : Sir! |
(0:08:41.29) |
Allen : Girls! What are you doing here? |
(0:08:46.79) |
Tina Howard : We were worried about you, sir. |
(0:08:49.38) |
Ellie Walker : Wh-What exactly have you been doing here?! |
(0:08:51.40) |
Allen : We were talking, that's all. |
(0:08:54.59) |
Ellie Walker : T-Talking about wh-what?! |
(0:08:56.88) |
Lynee Leinster : Dear Sister, this isn't fair! |
(0:08:59.41) |
Allen : Well... |
(0:09:01.31) |
Lydia Leinster : My. I haven't seen you since that palace ball. |
(0:09:02.38) |
Tina Howard : It's been far too long. |
(0:09:06.75) |
Lydia Leinster : I might as well say it. |
(0:09:08.83) |
Lydia Leinster : Congratulations on placing first. |
(0:09:10.56) |
Tina Howard : Thank you very much. |
(0:09:12.48) |
Tina Howard : It was, um, all thanks to Mr. Allen! |
(0:09:14.19) |
Tina Howard : I only made it this far because he came to teach me! |
(0:09:17.57) |
Lynee Leinster : I'll beat you on the next exam. |
(0:09:22.32) |
Tina Howard : No you won't! |
(0:09:27.12) |
Lynee Leinster : Oh yes I will! |
(0:09:28.13) |
Tina Howard : I'll win! |
(0:09:30.21) |
Lynee Leinster : No, I will! |
(0:09:31.17) |
Tina Howard : Anyone can see I'll beat you! |
(0:09:32.34) |
Lynee Leinster : You mean that I'll
beat you
! |
(0:09:34.05) |
Lydia Leinster : How would you like him to teach you, too, Lynne? |
(0:09:34.37) |
Lynee Leinster : Learn from my dear brother? May I really? |
(0:09:37.71) |
Lydia Leinster : I'll speak to Mother about it. |
(0:09:40.05) |
Lydia Leinster : Teach all three of them at our house. |
(0:09:42.67) |
Lydia Leinster : I won't take no for an answer. |
(0:09:44.94) |
Allen : Well... |
(0:09:46.83) |
Tina Howard : Wait just one moment. |
(0:09:48.40) |
Tina Howard : I don't want to learn with her
! |
(0:09:49.67) |
Lynee Leinster : Dear me. Are you afraid I'll outshine you? |
(0:09:51.14) |
Caren : Allen! |
(0:10:09.80) |
Caren : I've been waiting for you. |
(0:10:11.54) |
Allen : Caren? |
(0:10:13.09) |
Allen : Sorry, it's been a busy day. |
(0:10:14.89) |
Caren : No excuses. |
(0:10:17.39) |
Caren : Come with me! |
(0:10:18.09) |
Allen : Caren? |
(0:10:23.15) |
Caren : I heard about your tutoring job and about what happened with Lydia. |
(0:10:24.74) |
Allen : And you've been worried, I see. |
(0:10:29.70) |
Caren : Not particularly. |
(0:10:32.03) |
Caren : I only think you ought to be more mindful of your sister from now on. |
(0:10:34.76) |
Allen : I understand. |
(0:10:40.83) |
Allen : Thank you, Caren. |
(0:10:42.04) |
Allen : I know I've told you before, but you conducted that ceremony beautifully. |
(0:10:44.17) |
Caren : D-Do you think so? |
(0:10:49.62) |
Stella Howard : Caren, I'm so sorry! |
(0:10:54.66) |
Stella Howard : It's later than I— |
(0:10:55.92) |
Caren : My brother, Allen. |
(0:11:03.52) |
Stella Howard : Mr. Allen...? |
(0:11:05.69) |
Caren : Stella? |
(0:11:08.34) |
Caren : Stella, come back to us. |
(0:11:11.42) |
Caren : This is my friend Stella. |
(0:11:14.84) |
Caren : She looks up to you and Lydia. |
(0:11:16.45) |
Stella Howard : I am Stella Howard! |
(0:11:19.08) |
Stella Howard : Your illustrious reputation precedes you! |
(0:11:21.41) |
Stella Howard : Your sister has done more for me than I can say! |
(0:11:24.34) |
Allen : Likewise. I've learned a great deal from Lady Tina. |
(0:11:27.02) |
Allen : You dropped this. |
(0:11:32.44) |
Stella Howard : Thank you very much! |
(0:11:37.58) |
Caren : I'll cut to the chase. |
(0:11:43.19) |
Caren : The headmaster asked me to deliver this. |
(0:11:45.20) |
Caren : He says he's been called away on urgent business, |
(0:11:48.35) |
Caren : and he regrets that he couldn't be here to meet you in person. |
(0:11:51.94) |
Allen : I see. |
(0:11:55.67) |
Allen : So that's why you were waiting for me. |
(0:11:56.80) |
Allen : How dare the headmaster use Caren. |
(0:11:59.94) |
Allen : What is he scheming? |
(0:12:02.45) |
Allen : He only just gave up on Lydia, and now he's set his sights on Lynne? |
(0:12:16.38) |
Allen : He's supposed to be confined to his quarters. What is he planning now
? |
(0:12:22.08) |
Caren : Is something the matter? |
(0:12:26.52) |
Allen : Nothing to worry about. |
(0:12:30.18) |
Allen : He wants to hire me as a temporary teacher. |
(0:12:31.59) |
Stella Howard : This is today's class roster. |
(0:12:41.30) |
Allen : Thank you very much. |
(0:12:43.92) |
Stella Howard : Allow me to guide you and observe your lessons. |
(0:12:45.59) |
Allen : I'm sorry. I know you must be busy, |
(0:12:48.49) |
Allen : but Caren says she has a mandatory class at this time. |
(0:12:50.79) |
Stella Howard : It's no trouble at all. |
(0:12:53.96) |
Stella Howard : I'll be happy to show you around in her place! |
(0:12:55.44) |
Allen : Your ribbon matches Tina's, except for the color. |
(0:13:01.40) |
Stella Howard : Yes. It's a memento of our mother. |
(0:13:04.36) |
Stella Howard : I feel as though I hold my head higher when I wear it. |
(0:13:07.28) |
Stella Howard : As heir to the Dukedom of Howard, I must live a life worthy of my name. |
(0:13:11.85) |
Allen : Like sister, like sister. |
(0:13:17.23) |
Allen : Once they make up their minds, nothing can sway them. |
(0:13:19.01) |
Allen : I hope you and your sister can inspire each other to new heights. |
(0:13:21.86) |
Stella Howard : Yes, Tina and I have said the same thing in our letters. |
(0:13:24.44) |
Stella Howard : Oh, we've been corresponding for ages. |
(0:13:28.88) |
Stella Howard : She's told me so many things about you. |
(0:13:32.00) |
Allen : You must be great friends. |
(0:13:35.36) |
Allen : I won't ask what she said about me. |
(0:13:38.00) |
Stella Howard : She often wrote that "Mr. Allen is as mean as they come!" |
(0:13:40.84) |
Allen : I certainly don't mean to be. |
(0:13:45.05) |
Stella Howard : Permit me to take my dear little sister's word for it. |
(0:13:46.97) |
Tina Howard : Huh? |
(0:13:55.23) |
Tina Howard : What?! |
(0:13:55.87) |
Stella Howard : All of you, the lesson is about to begin. |
(0:13:59.51) |
Stella Howard : Take your seats. |
(0:14:02.05) |
Allen : It's a pleasure to meet you. |
(0:14:08.16) |
Allen : My name is Allen, and I'll be teaching you for a short time. |
(0:14:09.73) |
Allen : I'm a graduate of this academy, for what it's worth. |
(0:14:13.47) |
Allen : I look forward to our lessons together. |
(0:14:16.32) |
Lynee Leinster : Mind your manners! |
(0:14:28.44) |
Allen : Tina. |
(0:14:31.62) |
Allen : Now, let's begin. |
(0:14:34.48) |
Allen : We won't be using textbooks. I prefer practical magic. |
(0:14:36.50) |
Allen : First, let's review the grades of spell. |
(0:14:40.52) |
Allen : Can anyone here explain them for me? |
(0:14:43.65) |
Lynee Leinster : I can! |
(0:14:45.72) |
Allen : Please do. |
(0:14:46.64) |
Lynee Leinster : Spells are divided into elementary, intermediate, and advanced grades |
(0:14:49.03) |
Lynee Leinster : based on their power and effects. |
(0:14:52.17) |
Lynee Leinster : The supreme spells passed down in the Four Great Ducal Houses, |
(0:14:54.36) |
Lynee Leinster : including my own House of Leinster, are an exception, |
(0:14:58.33) |
Lynee Leinster : but few ever master them. |
(0:15:00.55) |
Allen : Yes, that's correct. |
(0:15:02.64) |
Allen : Can anyone here cast an advanced spell? |
(0:15:04.84) |
Allen : Well then, Lynne, please demonstrate. |
(0:15:16.26) |
Lynee Leinster : Yes, sir. |
(0:15:18.43) |
Lynee Leinster : Do you want me to cast it here? |
(0:15:20.67) |
Allen : Don't worry. I'll set a barrier. |
(0:15:23.23) |
Lynee Leinster : Very well. |
(0:15:26.51) |
Allen : This is an example of advanced magic. |
(0:15:40.27) |
Allen : It's so powerful that it risks causing collateral damage, so treat it with care. |
(0:15:43.14) |
Allen : Well done, Lynne. |
(0:15:48.32) |
Tina Howard : Sir! Me next! |
(0:15:54.09) |
Allen : All right, Tina. Be my guest. |
(0:15:56.65) |
Lynee Leinster : What manner of advanced magic will you show us, Miss First Place? |
(0:15:59.31) |
Lynee Leinster : Surely it will leave my second-place effort in its dust. |
(0:16:03.60) |
Allen : She wants to wow them with a Blizzard Wolf, does she? |
(0:16:26.52) |
Allen : Tina, that's enough! |
(0:16:33.57) |
Tina Howard : B-But sir! |
(0:16:35.82) |
Lynee Leinster : Honestly, Miss First Place. |
(0:16:42.64) |
Lynee Leinster : Just because you can
do something doesn't mean you should. |
(0:16:44.27) |
Tina Howard : As if you didn't goad me into it. |
(0:16:48.01) |
Lynee Leinster : My. I'm so
scared. |
(0:16:50.44) |
Allen : All right. Enough of that. |
(0:16:52.62) |
Allen : As the top two students in your year, |
(0:16:54.09) |
Allen : you stand head and shoulders above your peers. |
(0:16:56.81) |
Allen : But with power comes responsibility. |
(0:16:59.60) |
Allen : You must never forget that fact. |
(0:17:02.54) |
Allen : Next, we'll look at compound spellcasting. |
(0:17:08.29) |
Allen : Give it a try. |
(0:17:11.96) |
Allen : You can even do things like this once you get the hang of it. |
(0:17:13.68) |
Allen : Yes, Patricia? Go ahead. |
(0:17:25.82) |
Allen : Let's find out. |
(0:17:34.22) |
Allen : Lydia pestered me to make that spell to entertain her. I'm glad it came in handy. |
(0:17:53.32) |
Allen : What did you think of that? |
(0:18:03.03) |
Allen : Study hard, and you'll learn to do as much yourselves. |
(0:18:04.53) |
Allen : Yes. Why don't I show you? |
(0:18:17.86) |
Allen : These are magical creatures of eight different elements. |
(0:18:26.87) |
Allen : Feel free to touch them. They aren't hostile. |
(0:18:29.66) |
Ellie Walker : It's so cute! |
(0:18:39.82) |
Lynee Leinster : I'd like— |
(0:18:41.71) |
Lynee Leinster : Oh, it's adorable! |
(0:18:44.93) |
Ellie Walker : Excuse me, um, Allen, sir. |
(0:18:49.50) |
Ellie Walker : I'd like to make some too. |
(0:18:52.96) |
Allen : It won't be easy, but we'll give it a try. Your hand. |
(0:18:56.65) |
Ellie Walker : Y-Yessir. |
(0:19:00.95) |
Ellie Walker : Thank you. |
(0:19:02.72) |
Allen : Let's try it with dark magic. |
(0:19:04.11) |
Allen : Deploy the spell. |
(0:19:06.01) |
Ellie Walker : I'll try. |
(0:19:07.64) |
Allen : Now do as I do. |
(0:19:09.60) |
Allen : Easy does it. |
(0:19:11.81) |
Allen : Try to picture Anko. |
(0:19:13.13) |
Ellie Walker : Anko... |
(0:19:15.28) |
Allen : Next, try doing it all on your own. |
(0:19:30.94) |
Ellie Walker : Yessir! Thank you so much! |
(0:19:32.93) |
Allen : Abandon any notions of what you can and can't do. |
(0:19:37.84) |
Allen : I once knew someone who couldn't do even elementary magic. |
(0:19:42.35) |
Allen : But she never gave up. |
(0:19:46.79) |
Allen : She practiced the sword harder than anyone |
(0:19:49.19) |
Allen : and became a master of the blade so skilled she could slice through spells. |
(0:19:51.54) |
Allen : The key is to keep heart and take action. |
(0:19:56.16) |
Allen : Now, class, take your seats. |
(0:20:08.88) |
Allen : Before we finish, does anyone have any questions? |
(0:20:11.05) |
Stella Howard : I do. |
(0:20:13.84) |
Stella Howard : Mr. Allen, please permit a question from a student not in this class. |
(0:20:15.57) |
Stella Howard : Can you—that is, well, are
you able to cast a supreme spell? |
(0:20:19.50) |
Allen : No. |
(0:20:27.26) |
Allen : I likely have the lowest mana capacity of any person here. |
(0:20:28.67) |
Allen : Intermediate spells are my limit. |
(0:20:32.98) |
Allen : I can construct advanced formulae but can't activate them. |
(0:20:35.26) |
Allen : However, I still managed to graduate from the Royal Academy and University. |
(0:20:39.35) |
Allen : Both schools look for more than simple mana capacity. |
(0:20:44.10) |
Stella Howard : What do they look for, then? |
(0:20:48.83) |
Allen : In my opinion, the perseverance to keep applying oneself, |
(0:20:50.84) |
Allen : without sloth, conceit, or concern for the opinions of others. |
(0:20:54.15) |
Allen : Stop telling yourselves that you "could never" and keep attempting new challenges. |
(0:20:57.94) |
Allen : That concludes our lesson. |
(0:21:03.44) |
Allen : Teaching all three of them here was a good idea. I ought to thank Lydia. |
(0:21:23.99) |
Allen : It will make it easier to guard Lynne. |
(0:21:29.46) |
Ellie Walker : I've brought tea for every— |
(0:21:33.60) |
Allen : Whoa there! |
(0:21:36.62) |
Allen : Are you all right? |
(0:21:41.76) |
Ellie Walker : Y-Yessir. |
(0:21:43.38) |
Allen : Thank goodness. |
(0:21:44.92) |
Allen : Oh no! I know this feeling! |
(0:21:47.44) |
Lydia Leinster : And what do you think you're doing? |
(0:21:51.37) |
Allen : Well, you see... |
(0:21:54.04) |
Lydia Leinster : It looks like I need to beat better sense into my servant. |
(0:21:55.98) |
Allen : Wait! It was just an accident! |
(0:21:59.21) |
Lydia Leinster : No excuses. |
(0:22:01.54) |
Allen : J-Just hear me— |
(0:22:03.81) |
Allen : Forget I said anything! |
(0:22:06.98) |
