  |  Gaius : My crest has no room left to grow. | (0:00:40.55) | 
  |  Gaius : The first crest, my crest, specializes in creation.
 | (0:00:46.29) | 
  |  Gaius : The second specializes in power. | (0:00:50.48) | 
  |  Gaius : The third specializes in rapid firing. | (0:00:53.65) | 
  |  Gaius : If I want to grow stronger, | (0:00:57.78) | 
  |  Gaius : I must acquire the fourth crest, the one best suited to combat.
 | (0:01:00.17) | 
  |  Gaius : One's crest appears at birth and cannot be changed.
 | (0:01:05.34) | 
  |  Gaius : Which means... | (0:01:09.26) | 
  |  EXTRA : We'll be reaching the capital soon. | (0:01:37.85) | 
  |  EXTRA : Impressive that you're leaving home and taking exams at age twelve.
 | (0:01:40.79) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I'm determined to enter the academy and become strong.
 | (0:01:46.51) | 
  |  EXTRA : It's not safe to go too quickly. | (0:01:49.56) | 
  |  EXTRA : You might have been a big fish where you came from,
 | (0:01:51.51) | 
  |  EXTRA : but that crest of yours... | (0:01:53.91) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : There's a monster nearby. | (0:01:57.57) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : It's heading our way. | (0:01:59.28) | 
  |  EXTRA : Eh? | (0:02:00.68) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : It might be a rather large monster. | (0:02:01.73) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Many times bigger than your wagon. | (0:02:04.15) | 
  |  EXTRA : You say the strangest things. | (0:02:06.98) | 
  |  EXTRA : That would make it a calamity-grade monster.
 | (0:02:10.33) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Dispatch successful. | (0:02:22.44) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Easily handled with just Enhance Physique and Sunder Steel.
 | (0:02:25.94) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : That's the capital for you... | (0:02:50.79) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Completely unlike my homeland. | (0:02:52.87) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : My friend's sword broke! | (0:02:54.75) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Can you make me one just like it? | (0:02:56.86) | 
  |  EXTRA : Stop shouting! I hear you just fine! | (0:02:59.80) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : I'm sorry. | (0:03:02.54) |

 | (0:03:04.40) | 
  |  EXTRA : Magic sword? | (0:03:09.16) | 
  |  EXTRA : And you want me to remake a magic sword? | (0:03:10.60) | 
  |  EXTRA : You can't possibly be serious! | (0:03:12.91) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Isn't there anything you can do? | (0:03:15.17) | 
  |  EXTRA : I'm afraid you're out of luck. | (0:03:18.00) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : These weapons are well made... | (0:03:20.15) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Though the enchantments are poorly applied. | (0:03:22.37) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Are there any other swords? | (0:03:25.03) | 
  |  EXTRA : It simply can't be done. | (0:03:26.49) |

  |  Alma Lepucius : The entrance exams are tomorrow! | (0:03:30.07) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : If I don't get her a sword, she'll— | (0:03:32.07) | 
  |  EXTRA : If you need it that fast, you might have better luck elsewhere.
 | (0:03:33.88) | 
  |  EXTRA : It's not as if I can forge a magic sword by myself.

  |  Alma Lepucius : We've tried everyone else already! | (0:03:41.17) | 
  |  EXTRA : Would one of our ready-made swords do? | (0:03:43.38) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Hmm... | (0:03:45.50) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : It should be about this long, | (0:03:47.08) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : and light enough that a girl can swing it around like this with one hand!
 | (0:03:49.24) | 
  |  EXTRA : A sword like that certainly would have to be enchanted...
 | (0:03:53.20) | 
  |  EXTRA : But it won't be easy to make. | (0:03:58.77) |

  |  EXTRA : Look, kid... I get that you want to show off...
 | (0:04:05.11) | 
  |  EXTRA : But it can't be done, and she needs to accept that.
 | (0:04:08.68) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : It's true that my fourth crest isn't well suited to enchantments.
 | (0:04:12.77) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : But I think I can handle a basic magic sword.
 | (0:04:17.27) | 
  |  EXTRA : Isn't that the Crest of Failure? | (0:04:19.88) | 
  |  EXTRA : All the more impossible, then. | (0:04:22.68) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Make me a sword! | (0:04:24.78) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : One with a setting for a magistone. | (0:04:28.08) | 
  |  EXTRA : Wait, you mean— | (0:04:30.80) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : I'm going to put my faith in him. | (0:04:33.44) |

  |  EXTRA : If he fails, the sword will be fine, | (0:04:37.48) | 
  |  EXTRA : but you'll have wasted a magistone. | (0:04:39.71) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : I still think he can do it. | (0:04:41.45) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : I've got good instincts about these things!
 | (0:04:43.99) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Let's get on that enchantment, kid! | (0:04:48.29) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. | (0:04:55.51) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : I'm Alma. Alma Lepucius. | (0:04:58.66) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : I didn't want my parents marrying me off to some weirdo,
 | (0:05:01.86) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : so I set off on my own! | (0:05:04.52) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I'm Matthias. Matthias Hildesheimer. | (0:05:06.74) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : You can call me "Matty." | (0:05:10.65) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Sure! It's a pleasure, Matty! | (0:05:12.59) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Oh, right! I've got a friend! | (0:05:16.70) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : The sword is hers. We left home together!
 | (0:05:18.76) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Alma? | (0:05:22.47) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Speak of the devil! | (0:05:24.40) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Lurie! | (0:05:26.06) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Alma. Did you have any luck at this shop?
 | (0:05:26.88) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Sh-She's beautiful! | (0:05:32.26) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : I'm afraid every shop I tried turned me down...
 | (0:05:34.17) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : It simply might not be possible to make a magic sword by tomo—
 | (0:05:36.92) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Oh, this guy? He's Matty! | (0:05:39.54) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : He said he'd enchant a sword for us! | (0:05:41.83) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : A-Allow me to introduce myself! | (0:05:45.87) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I am humbly referred to as Matthias Hildesheimer!
 | (0:05:47.70) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Where'd the formality come from? | (0:05:49.71) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Was my introduction that off-putting? | (0:05:54.04) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : This is what I get for never having friends!
 | (0:05:56.73) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : What's wrong, Lurie? | (0:06:00.48) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : I-I'm Lurie Abendroth! | (0:06:03.08) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : I'm neither engaged nor romantically involved.
 | (0:06:05.97) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : You may call me "Lurie," if you wish... | (0:06:08.46) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : "Romantically involved"? | (0:06:12.76) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Um... well... | (0:06:13.76) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I had no idea it was customary here to reveal your relationship status.
 | (0:06:16.35) | 
  |  EXTRA : It's all done! | (0:06:22.71) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I'll begin the enchantment. | (0:06:25.77) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Could you hand me the magistone? | (0:06:28.36) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : You can do it here? | (0:06:30.52) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : It won't take that long. | (0:06:31.64) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I'm going to begin. | (0:06:35.76) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : P-Please do... | (0:06:36.57) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : The only way to make something this long and light sturdy enough for live combat
 | (0:06:39.89) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : is to add Enhance Fortitude and Sunder Steel.
 | (0:06:43.40) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : That should do it. | (0:06:49.84) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Here, try it. | (0:06:51.51) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : That was fast! Is it really enchanted?
 | (0:06:52.46) | 
  |  EXTRA : There's no way he could do it that fast. | (0:06:54.64) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Yeah, isn't it supposed to take way longer? | (0:06:57.47) | 
  |  EXTRA : And he didn't even recite an incantation! | (0:07:00.74) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Let me try it. | (0:07:04.16) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : It's easy enough to tell if an enchantment— | (0:07:06.00) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : The enchantment worked! | (0:07:14.50) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : That's crazy sharp! | (0:07:16.72) | 
  |  EXTRA : And it took him just moments... | (0:07:18.45) | 
  |  EXTRA : What trickery is this? | (0:07:20.27) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : It's just a standard enchantment. | (0:07:22.13) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : That's anything but "standard"! | (0:07:24.08) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Who in the world are you, Matty? | (0:07:26.54) | 
  |  EXTRA : It shouldn't be possible to enchant a sword that quickly.
 | (0:07:29.49) | 
  |  EXTRA : But the sword has clearly been enchanted, | (0:07:32.93) | 
  |  EXTRA : and you didn't recite an incantation. | (0:07:36.77) | 
  |  EXTRA : As I forged that sword myself, | (0:07:38.44) | 
  |  EXTRA : I'd know whether you swapped it out with sleight-of-hand.
 | (0:07:40.02) | 
  |  EXTRA : The only possible conclusion is... | (0:07:43.23) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Gulp! | (0:07:45.87) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Is...? | (0:07:47.16) | 
  |  EXTRA : You wanna become an enchanter, kid? | (0:07:52.19) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Nope. | (0:07:54.88) | 
  |  EXTRA : The practical skills exam will now begin. | (0:07:58.44) | 
  |  EXTRA : Fields tested will include swordsmanship and casting.
 | (0:08:01.04) | 
  |  EXTRA : Yes, sir! | (0:08:03.16) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Matty! | (0:08:05.60) |

  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Y-Yes... | (0:08:12.10) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : The tactics portion was way too hard! | (0:08:13.54) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : I did just fine in every other subject... | (0:08:16.74) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Alma, Matty! | (0:08:21.52) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Let's work together to pass the test! | (0:08:23.66) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Sure. | (0:08:26.10) |

  |  Lukas : S-S-Say what?! | (0:08:42.02) | 
  |  Lukas : I surrender! | (0:08:44.94) |

  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I-It's nothing, really... | (0:08:57.97) | 
  |  EXTRA : Next up, Matthias Hildesheimer! | (0:08:59.38) |

  |  Guile : Matthias Hildesheimer... | (0:09:10.54) | 
  |  Guile : I hear you're the one who enchanted Lurie Abendroth's sword.
 | (0:09:12.85) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : And? Who are you? | (0:09:17.12) | 
  |  Guile : You'll need more than an examiner, then... | (0:09:19.75) | 
  |  Guile : I'll fight you myself. | (0:09:21.69) | 
  |  Guile : I'd like to see what your father Castor taught you, as well.
 | (0:09:23.77) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : You know my father? | (0:09:28.99) | 
  |  Guile : Yes. | (0:09:30.38) | 
  |  Guile : If you handle yourself well enough against me,
 | (0:09:31.78) | 
  |  Guile : I'll vouch for you to pass, regardless of your other test scores.
 | (0:09:33.57) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Very well. | (0:09:36.89) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : His stance leaves him wide open. | (0:09:42.10) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : He thinks he's taking it easy on me. | (0:09:44.35) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : That's also why he said, "If you handle yourself well enough."
 | (0:09:47.31) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I feel a bit insulted... | (0:09:50.86) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : This is a test! | (0:09:53.65) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Its purpose is to show them what I can do!
 | (0:09:55.16) | 
  |  Guile : What? | (0:10:00.95) | 
  |  Guile : A boy your age, parrying my strike... | (0:10:01.97) | 
  |  Guile : I surrender. | (0:10:13.77) | 
  |  EXTRA : Captain of the Knights' Order, Guile, lost... | (0:10:15.16) |

  |  Lurie Abendroth : Yes! | (0:10:20.22) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Although it happened so quickly I couldn't quite follow!
 | (0:10:21.03) | 
  |  EXTRA : Next, we'll conduct the casting exam. | (0:10:25.55) | 
  |  EXTRA : Lurie Abendroth. Step forward! | (0:10:28.10) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Yes, sir! | (0:10:30.19) | 
  |  EXTRA : Please attack all five targets with Fire Arrow!
 | (0:10:31.55) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Magic of flame that dwells within me... | (0:10:39.09) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Pierce my foe in the form of an arrow! | (0:10:41.55) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Lurie! Keep it up! | (0:10:47.16) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Incanted casting? | (0:10:49.42) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : As the name suggests, it's a method for casting spells
 | (0:10:51.69) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : through the recitation of particular words. | (0:10:55.06) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Anyone can use it regardless of ability, | (0:10:56.83) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : but it offers a poor conversion rate on the user's magic power,
 | (0:10:59.48) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : and you're vulnerable to attacks mid-chant.
 | (0:11:03.20) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : They're not ideal for combat. | (0:11:06.08) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I'd thought the practice was long dead, but...
 | (0:11:07.87) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Yes! | (0:11:09.66) | 
  |  EXTRA : That's the Crest of Glory! What an elite!
 | (0:11:11.06) | 
  |  EXTRA : Wish I'd been born with the Crest of Glory, too...
 | (0:11:13.94) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : But in this day and age, | (0:11:18.04) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : the first crest, which is highly compatible with incanted casting,
 | (0:11:19.92) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : is labeled the "Crest of Glory" | (0:11:22.95) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : and considered the best crest for magical combat.
 | (0:11:24.54) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Meanwhile... | (0:11:28.97) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : My fourth crest is... | (0:11:30.40) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Excuse me. Is Fire Arrow the only spell allowed?
 | (0:11:34.14) | 
  |  EXTRA : Not necessarily, but it's the most basic spell, so...
 | (0:11:37.42) | 
  |  EXTRA : You've got the Crest of Failure, | (0:11:43.34) | 
  |  EXTRA : but if you do well in the other subjects, you might still pass.
 | (0:11:44.54) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : As long as I destroy the targets, correct? | (0:11:47.88) | 
  |  EXTRA : Well, yes... | (0:11:50.23) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : "Crest of Failure" casting has extremely limited range.
 | (0:11:51.79) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I don't think I could even reach a third of the way to the target.
 | (0:11:55.66) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : You might want to stand a bit farther away, sir.
 | (0:12:00.26) | 
  |  EXTRA : What? | (0:12:03.36) | 
  |  EXTRA : What's he doing? | (0:12:05.32) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I can assign it limited directionality, | (0:12:06.16) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : but it won't be free of collateral damage. | (0:12:08.37) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : H-How is he casting? He didn't recite an incantation!
 | (0:12:10.20) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Could it be... a wordless spell? | (0:12:14.08) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Wordless casting is in decline, | (0:12:16.24) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : and the fourth crest is scorned as the Crest of Failure.
 | (0:12:18.35) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : That's the status quo in this day and age! | (0:12:21.47) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Oh... | (0:12:35.50) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I might have overdone it. | (0:12:37.44) |

  |  Alma Lepucius : Hey, Matty! | (0:12:49.82) |

  |  Lurie Abendroth : Oh, I just— | (0:13:06.56) |

  |  Edwart : That is all! | (0:13:38.71) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : That certainly was short! | (0:13:40.03) | 
  |  Edwart : I almost forgot... | (0:13:43.60) | 
  |  Edwart : Matthias Hildesheimer. | (0:13:45.25) | 
  |  Edwart : Drop by my office when this is over. | (0:13:47.63) |

  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Because I destroyed the grounds during the exam?
 | (0:13:56.05) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Is he going to expel me on my first day?!
 | (0:13:58.21) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : But I did use a spell to repair the damage...
 | (0:14:00.47) | 
  |  Edwart : Come in already, Matthias. | (0:14:02.75) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Yes, sir. | (0:14:08.19) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I knew it... He's—
 | (0:14:13.79) | 
  |  Edwart : Matthias Hildesheimer. | (0:14:16.72) | 
  |  Edwart : You defeated the Captain of the Knights' Order during your swordsmanship exam,
 | (0:14:19.21) | 
  |  Edwart : and effortlessly used wordless spells during your casting exam.
 | (0:14:21.96) | 
  |  Edwart : Castor being your father explains it somewhat,
 | (0:14:26.39) | 
  |  Edwart : but I'm sure there's a deeper reason why someone your age is so powerful.
 | (0:14:28.80) | 
  |  Edwart : I won't pry as to why that is. | (0:14:33.65) | 
  |  Edwart : But I do want to ask for your aid. | (0:14:35.88) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : My... aid? | (0:14:38.64) | 
  |  Edwart : Yes. | (0:14:40.24) | 
  |  Edwart : You saw the other students cast incanted spells, didn't you?
 | (0:14:41.29) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Yes... | (0:14:45.02) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Why do they use such an inefficient technique?
 | (0:14:45.82) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Wouldn't wordless spells be better? | (0:14:48.13) | 
  |  Edwart : "Inefficient," eh? | (0:14:51.62) | 
  |  Edwart : Unfortunately, Matthias, | (0:14:53.88) | 
  |  Edwart : wordless spells are a lost casting style. | (0:14:55.72) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : As I suspected... | (0:15:00.62) | 
  |  Edwart : I don't know that a single other person in this kingdom can still use them.
 | (0:15:01.92) | 
  |  Edwart : I've been hoping to revive wordless spell techniques here at Second Academy
 | (0:15:06.54) | 
  |  Edwart : and teach them to the students... | (0:15:11.76) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : That sounds like a great idea! | (0:15:14.89) | 
  |  Edwart : But there's one thing stopping me! | (0:15:16.44) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : There is? | (0:15:18.37) | 
  |  Edwart : Yes. | (0:15:19.25) | 
  |  Edwart : Our sister academy here in the capital, | (0:15:20.30) | 
  |  Edwart : the First Royal Academy. | (0:15:22.86) | 
  |  Edwart : The nobility endorses First Academy's teachings, | (0:15:26.03) | 
  |  Edwart : which have a proven track record. | (0:15:28.36) | 
  |  Edwart : We've had no choice but to follow their curriculum.
 | (0:15:30.15) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : What kind of track record? | (0:15:35.34) | 
  |  EXTRA : First Academy's published research. | (0:15:37.33) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : This is their "track record"? | (0:15:42.31) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : But it talks only about incanted spells... | (0:15:44.00) | 
  |  Edwart : Incanted spells are the only form of casting accepted in academia.
 | (0:15:46.82) | 
  |  Edwart : Wordless spells are rejected. | (0:15:51.30) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : How do we get them accepted? | (0:15:54.26) | 
  |  Edwart : We'll have to prove the power of wordless casting
 | (0:15:55.80) | 
  |  Edwart : at the next inter-school competition. | (0:15:59.79) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : And that's the "aid" you're asking me for?
 | (0:16:03.69) | 
  |  Edwart : Yes. | (0:16:07.48) | 
  |  Edwart : I want you to instruct us in wordless casting!
 | (0:16:08.34) | 
  |  Edwart : Matthias. | (0:16:14.38) | 
  |  Edwart : Can I count on you? | (0:16:16.05) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Very well. | (0:16:21.84) | 
  |  EXTRA : We will now begin the class. | (0:16:25.83) | 
  |  EXTRA : Today, we'll be learning wordless spells! | (0:16:28.14) | 
  |  EXTRA : "Wordless spells"?! | (0:16:31.00) | 
  |  EXTRA : Wordless... | (0:16:32.09) | 
  |  EXTRA : I didn't know there was such a thing. | (0:16:32.46) | 
  |  EXTRA : Never heard of it... | (0:16:33.58) | 
  |  EXTRA : Your doubts are understandable. | (0:16:34.71) | 
  |  EXTRA : That's why we have a special guest instructor.
 | (0:16:36.61) | 
  |  EXTRA : He'll be teaching you how they work. | (0:16:39.45) | 
  |  EXTRA : Isn't he the one who passed the entrance exams at the top of the class?
 | (0:16:42.11) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Yes, that's our Matty! | (0:16:45.75) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : You can't take credit for him, Alma. | (0:16:47.76) | 
  |  EXTRA : Matthias, could you demonstrate how wordless casting works?
 | (0:16:50.04) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Very well. | (0:16:55.00) | 
  |  EXTRA : Was that wordless casting? | (0:17:04.40) | 
  |  EXTRA : Yeah, I didn't hear an incantation. | (0:17:06.31) | 
  |  EXTRA : He's a Crest of Failure, right? | (0:17:08.70) | 
  |  EXTRA : You don't think he's really a demon, do you?
 | (0:17:10.52) | 
  |  EXTRA : Matthias is not the only one who can use wordless spells!
 | (0:17:12.67) | 
  |  EXTRA : Mr. Gaizal? | (0:17:16.77) | 
  |  Gaizal : Right! | (0:17:17.83) | 
  |  Gaizal : I'm not particularly good at casting myself, | (0:17:23.44) | 
  |  Gaizal : but Matthias's teachings have gotten me this far in just one day!
 | (0:17:25.90) | 
  |  EXTRA : Well, let's get to it! | (0:17:30.69) | 
  |  EXTRA : Right! | (0:17:33.12) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Matty, I can do it now, too! | (0:17:34.52) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : You can? | (0:17:36.86) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Yeah, let me show you! | (0:17:38.18) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : How do you like my casting? | (0:17:44.42) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : You don't have to imitate the way he grunts, too...
 | (0:17:46.34) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : How is it going, Lurie? | (0:17:50.32) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : I seem to have the feel for it, | (0:17:52.62) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : but I can't shake my incanted casting habits...
 | (0:17:55.42) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : I may have drained the last of my magic!
 | (0:17:59.58) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : They're all doing so well. | (0:18:03.38) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : When I see how impressive wordless spells are,
 | (0:18:05.71) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : I'm forced to wonder why we ever stopped using them.
 | (0:18:07.74) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : She's right. | (0:18:12.57) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Why has wordless casting gone into decline?
 | (0:18:14.30) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Matty? | (0:18:17.88) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Oh, I know. | (0:18:19.68) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Hold out your hand, would you? | (0:18:20.80) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : All right... | (0:18:22.56) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : M-Matty?! | (0:18:26.36) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : W-Well, I have to do this to transfer my magic to you!
 | (0:18:27.89) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Y-You can transfer magic?! | (0:18:32.90) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Yes. | (0:18:35.50) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I'm using a spell that attunes my magic to a target.
 | (0:18:36.46) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : It's typically used for enchantments, of course.
 | (0:18:39.63) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Enchantments... | (0:18:43.50) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : I did it! | (0:18:46.60) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : I finally did it, Matty! | (0:18:47.86) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : That's the way! | (0:18:49.78) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : And so I taught wordless casting to all the students.
 | (0:18:51.31) | 
  |  EXTRA : Let's show 'em what Second Academy can do!
 | (0:18:55.85) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : A month passed... | (0:18:56.12) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : It's finally time! | (0:18:58.40) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : I hope there are no magical chosen ones this year...
 | (0:18:59.71) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : "Magical chosen ones"? | (0:19:03.21) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : That's what they call leaders at First Academy
 | (0:19:05.00) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : with extremely strong casting ability. | (0:19:07.77) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Any year it seems Second Academy might win,
 | (0:19:09.27) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : one of these "magical chosen ones" appears. | (0:19:11.95) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : I believe the last Captain of the Mages' Order was one of them!
 | (0:19:14.87) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : It seems there is one here... | (0:19:19.29) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : With roughly ten times my own magic power. | (0:19:21.84) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Ten times your power, Matty? | (0:19:24.80) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : That's demon-level power! | (0:19:27.04) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Demon... | (0:19:29.62) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Demons and humans are natural enemies, aren't they?
 | (0:19:31.19) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : They certainly are! | (0:19:34.74) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Demons are the greatest threat to humanity there is!
 | (0:19:36.11) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Even the court magicians working together probably couldn't beat one.
 | (0:19:39.08) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : But why would you ask that? | (0:19:43.20) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Oh, just curious... | (0:19:45.30) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Demons, eh? | (0:19:49.32) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : So they've survived into this era... | (0:19:51.68) | 
  |  Devilis : Well, looky here! A Crest of Failure!
 | (0:19:54.62) | 
  |  EXTRA : A Crest of Failure, all by his lonesome! | (0:19:59.47) | 
  |  EXTRA : Hey, no buddies with you? | (0:20:01.93) | 
  |  EXTRA : Did they all run away scared? | (0:20:04.37) | 
  |  EXTRA : Hey, Crest of Failure! | (0:20:07.05) | 
  |  EXTRA : Cower before the might of Devilis, magical chosen one!
 | (0:20:08.61) | 
  |  EXTRA : Headmaster, I believe Second Academy has given up on victory entirely.
 | (0:20:11.48) | 
  |  Feikus : That'll be sixty-five wins in a row for us. | (0:20:16.06) | 
  |  EXTRA : Please, Matthias! | (0:20:18.70) | 
  |  Devilis : What, no witty rejoinder? | (0:20:21.57) | 
  |  Devilis : Has my chosen one Crest of Glory frightened you into submission?
 | (0:20:24.32) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I knew it... | (0:20:29.43) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : He's not human at all. | (0:20:30.79) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : He's a demon! | (0:20:32.90) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : He's just using a disguise spell to hide his true form.
 | (0:20:34.50) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : He even has a fake crest to let him walk among humans.
 | (0:20:38.25) | 
  |  EXTRA : The 65th Inter-Academy Competition will now commence!
 | (0:20:42.38) | 
  |  EXTRA : Begin! | (0:20:47.84) | 
  |  EXTRA : Magic of flame that dwells within me— | (0:20:48.85) | 
  |  EXTRA : L-Leisis and Giaas are both out! | (0:20:58.47) | 
  |  Devilis : Brat! | (0:21:02.97) | 
  |  Devilis : Magic of flame that dwells— | (0:21:04.92) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Got him. | (0:21:06.03) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : He activated the spell before he started his chant!
 | (0:21:07.13) | 
  |  EXTRA : What? Did he just cast before he— | (0:21:09.95) | 
  |  EXTRA : Get him, Devilis! | (0:21:10.60) | 
  |  EXTRA : He did the same with his guard spell... | (0:21:13.21) | 
  |  EXTRA : What in the world... | (0:21:15.23) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : In other words, he's just been pretending to chant.
 | (0:21:16.62) | 
  |  Devilis : ...arrow! | (0:21:20.34) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : The demon's head is its weak point! | (0:21:21.30) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Forget your incantation again? | (0:21:25.14) | 
  |  Devilis : Come, flame! | (0:21:28.06) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : That proves it. | (0:21:29.55) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : A spell-casting demon, pretending to use incantations...
 | (0:21:31.12) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : The demons are the ones that brought wordless casting into decline!
 | (0:21:34.94) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : The demons want humans' spells as weak as possible.
 | (0:21:40.24) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : They must have infiltrated First Academy long ago
 | (0:21:44.13) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : and arranged to have the fourth crest declared the Crest of Failure!
 | (0:21:47.22) | 
  |  Devilis : Come, flame! | (0:21:55.27) | 
  |  Devilis : How? | (0:21:57.53) | 
  |  Devilis : How can you be so strong?! | (0:21:58.46) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Maybe you're just lousy at fighting! | (0:22:00.29) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : What's going on? | (0:22:09.11) | 
  |  Devilis : D-Did you just use a Spell Shatter? | (0:22:12.82) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Yes. | (0:22:16.19) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : And I tacked on a Magic Veil, so you wouldn't notice.
 | (0:22:17.17) | 
  |  EXTRA : Hey, is that— | (0:22:22.08) | 
  |  EXTRA : Is Devilis... | (0:22:24.36) |

  |  EXTRA : Does that mean... | (0:22:26.82) | 
  |  Feikus : A-Are you telling me... Devilis is a demon?!
 | (0:22:27.95) | 
  |  Edwart : Contact the palace! | (0:22:31.51) | 
  |  Edwart : Evacuate the students at once! | (0:22:32.95) | 
  |  EXTRA : H-Help! | (0:22:34.66) | 
  |  EXTRA : Calm down! | (0:22:35.38) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Well, what's your next move? | (0:22:35.99) | 
  |  Devilis : Damn you! | (0:22:38.96) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : A retreating demon will use a Full Flight spell...
 | (0:22:44.81) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : It will take him about 1.5 seconds from spreading his wings to takeoff.
 | (0:22:47.85) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : 0.8 seconds for my enchantment... | (0:22:51.93) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : 0.7 seconds remain. | (0:22:53.76) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Easily done! | (0:22:55.65) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Now it's over. | (0:22:58.76) | 
  |  Edwart : Did he defeat that demon... all by himself?
 | (0:23:03.86) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I can't believe there are demons infiltrating the academy.
 | (0:23:07.94) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : I thought I drove them to the brink of destruction
 | (0:23:12.62) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : in my old life as Gaius the Sage... | (0:23:15.55) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : It seems there are serious problems in this day and age.
 | (0:23:19.16) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Pop quiz, Alma! | (0:23:25.89) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : What's the best crest for enchantment? | (0:23:26.95) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Crest of Glory! | (0:23:28.52) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : And for power? | (0:23:29.63) | 
  |  Alma Lepucius : Crest of Standard! | (0:23:30.63) | 
  |  Lurie Abendroth : Now, Matty, say all the crests three times fast!
 | (0:23:31.23) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Eh?! | (0:23:33.86) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Crest of Glory, Crest of Standard, Crest of Lesser, Crest of Failure!
 | (0:23:34.51) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Crest of Glory, Crest of Standard, Crest of Lesser, Crest of Failure!
 | (0:23:36.32) | 
  |  Matthias Hildesheimer : Crest of Glory, Crest of Standard, Crest of Lesser... argh!
 | (0:23:38.24) |
