01x05 - Camelot Academy

[bunniefuu]

APRIL

Wow.

-Do you have everything?

-Yeah!

Underwear and handkerchief?

I have them!

Is this Camelot Academy?

Yes.

The famous Merlin Albright established

this boarding school

for intensive golf training.

Once you pass the gate,

what awaits is daily competition

with peers aspiring to be pros.

Are you really sure about this?

Yeah! I enjoy taking your golf lessons,

but I want to train hard

and be sure to beat Lancelot next time.

Right.

I can't wait to see others!

What kind of people are they?

It looks like this building is haunted.

Oh, well, it has

an interesting atmosphere. h*, h*!

Not at all!

I am fond of this kind.

You are three minutes late.

You must be Gawain Nanaumi.

I'm in charge of primary

I mean our elementary class.

My name is Aria Sayfort.

-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you, Ms. Aria.

Your names sound alike,

but she's prettier, I think.

What?

Thank you for taking care of

Classes have already started,

so guardians should leave.

What? But wait!

You can visit him once a month.

Phone calls are

only allowed for emergencies.

Oh!

See you next month on visiting day,

Ms. Kiria Nishino.

Follow me, Gawain.

Yes.

See you later, Miss Kiria.

Hey! What's with her cold attitude?

I can't stand women with icy eyes!

But wait Aria Sayfort?

I feel like I've met her somewhere.

RISING IMPAC

EPISODE 5: CAMELOT ACADEMY

Ms. Aria, how many students are here?

There are 11 elementary

and junior high school students,

including you.

Wow! That's less

than my old school in the countryside.

Only champions of the tournament

and those approved by Mr. Albright

can enroll here.

A new guy is coming in today, right?

That's what I heard.

Being late on the first day?

We should teach him a lesson

for being so rude.

Everyone, we have a new student today.

-Come in. Introduce yourself.

-Squish, squish

Well, let's see what kind of guy he is.

I'm Gawain Nanaumi! I'm from Fukushima.

My favorite foods are

locust tsukudani and pickled plums.

Fukushima is a great place.

You should visit at least once!

Why promote your hometown, Squishy Joe?

-What?

-Hi!

Wow!

It's you, Yumiko!

I didn't know you were here.

I am. I was surprised when I heard

that the principal had recruited you.

-That's enough!

-Yes!

He already knows Yumiko.

The rest of you, introduce yourselves.

I'm Wanglian.

I'm Platalissa.

Riser.

I'm Liebel.

Nice to meet you, Gawain.

He looks like a nice person!

The others look unfriendly though.

Let's begin the lesson.

Gawain, are you in the fourth grade?

Write your goals for the future

and share them with everyone.

Fifth graders,

submit yesterday's printouts.

Sixth graders, answer the questions

on the blackboard.

I'm gonna write

in the Japanese calligraphy

that Grandpa taught me!

That's too rough of a joke.

The squishy boy can play golf?

Got it!

Ms. Aria, I'm done!

Then give us your presentation.

GAWAIN NANAUMI

I can't read it.

"World's number one"?

Yup.

I'll become a pro golfer,

then compete against

the world's pros in a drive contest

and become the best!

That's quite a goal for you!

Do your best anyway.

Yeah!

That gorilla!

I see Lancelot decided not to come.

That's too bad.

When did you come here?

Well, almost a year ago.

I'm happy to have you here.

I was the only Japanese in primary.

Why are they all foreigners?

Camelot Academy only has three schools

in the world: US, UK, and Japan.

Applicants for admission

come from all over the world.

I see.

By the way, you shouldn't care

about that guy from earlier.

What? Who?

Riser! He made fun of you

when he heard about your goal.

He said "Do your best."

He was cheering for me.

I envy your personality.

Oh, man. What a joke.

You should either eat or talk.

When I heard Albright

scouted a guy himself,

I wondered who was coming.

But he's a squishy short kid

whose driver probably swings him.

But he seems like a good boy.

Well, the world's best at long drives?

At least he has a sense of humor.

It wasn't a joke.

I meant what I said.

You meant it?

Hi, Gawain, Yumiko.

Why don't you eat lunch here?

Don't be silly!

A pudgy, squishy kid like you

won't even withstand the training here!

This isn't a child's game.

Don't underestimate golf!

Riser, that's enough already!

What? Squishy Joe?

I never underestimate golf!

You can't say I won't withstand

the training until I try!

Anyway, you'll never beat me

when it comes to hitting a ball far!

What did you say, you little b*stard?

Calm down, Riser.

Shut up! Hey!

Then how about you two

have a driving contest?

Let's say, the loser

has to leave the school.

The more risk in the competition,

the more fun, don't you think?

Platalissa, don't try to provoke them!

Why not?

Those two seem confident, so

Are you in or not?

-I'm in!

-I'm in!

Squishy Joe!

The kid is as simpleminded as Riser.

You slapped my face.

Do you want another one?

Why did you say

I said that for the boy's sake.

You think the squishy boy

can survive at this school?

Stop it, guys.

I'm with Platalissa.

You guys are a little mistaken.

This is not just any golf school.

If you lack the skill,

leaving is the only option.

If you have time to worry

about others, worry about yourself,

sweet Yumiko.

How dare you!

Yumiko!

Squishy Joe isn't the kind

of squishy person you all think he is!

Woo-hoo! Are we doing

the hitting distance contest here?

LV. D THE FIRST HOLE

The distance to the pin is 320 yards.

Who hits first?

You can go first.

Watch closely.

This is my

shot

with maximum power!

Look!

I hit it full power so it went off course,

but it's still 310 yards!

He's really great!

Now it's my turn.

Hey, are you gonna hit one?

Of course I am.

He saw my driving distance.

Is he a real idiot?

Okay. Let's do it!

It went over the green.

It flew at least 330 yards, right?

Three hundred and thirty?

How could this tiny kid do that?

But the head speed and impact were

And the direction was also perfect.

If not overshoot, it could land

near the pin or even in the cup!

Okay, let's do it again!

No, that's enough.

I'm completely defeated.

Goodbye.

Hey, wait.

I may have beaten you in driving,

but who knows who would win

in a proper golf game.

It was rash for us to say

the loser has to leave.

The more rivals the better, right?

Are you stupid?

It would be better to have no rivals.

What? Why?

Because then I could survive here,

become a pro,

earn tons of money, and

If you want to make money,

there are other ways besides golf.

No I mean, well

Then why do you play golf?

Because it's fun.

Hitting the ball farther than anyone

feels great, right?

That's right.

Where are Gawain and Riser?

Which guy will come back?

Squish, squish!

Ms. Aria, we're late. We're so

Sorry!

You're both five minutes late.

Fifty minutes of t*rd

equals a one-day absence,

and three days of absences

results in expulsion.

What? Riser, why didn't you

tell me about that?

Don't blame me! We'd be on time

if you weren't slow and squishy!

They're getting along.

Mumble, mumble.

Aw, Lancelot

As I expected, this school has

a lot of interesting guys.

sh**t! I missed it again!

Hey, Lancelot,

are you sure you're not going

to Camelot Academy?

Yes, I am sure.

Camelot is a boarding school.

I won't leave my sister alone

until her eyes recover.

I see. I thought I could compete with you

anytime if we were in the same school.

IZUMI NO TSURUGI GOLF CENTER

I'll play golf

at my local junior high school.

I'm looking forward to seeing

your improvement next time we meet.

Yep!

Miss Kiria

Grandpa

I'll do my best.

Lancelot, why are you wearing

a girl's outfit?

Ugh, I need to pee.

Phew, I feel better.

What?

Liebel his swing is

so dynamic and beautiful.

Incredible.

His powerful swing

stirred the distant grass.

Good morning.

Doesn't morning practice

start at 5:00 a.m.?

Why are you practicing already?

I always do my self-training at 4:00 a.m.

I want to improve as much as I can.

Hey, Liebel!

Look, you know what?

Can I practice with you?

Sure.

Whoa.

Stop the club firmly.

Use your wrist strength, grip strength,

and feet and legs properly.

Wow.

His toes are sunk into the ground!

Oops.

I can't get it right like you.

A morning run

makes me feel so good after all!

Gawain! Don't go too fast from the start!

You can't eat breakfast

if you run ten kilometers that fast!

Ugh, I feel like dying.

I'm too tired to eat.

Guys, you'll run out of gas

without having breakfast.

Liebel,

you're so tough as usual.

So yummy!

The food after exercise is so good!

Maybe he's tougher than you.

Yeah.

Okay, it's after school.

I just had a school tour yesterday,

but today I'm gonna

join in the training here!

Wait, where is Yumi-pu?

I think Yumiko is on cleaning duty

at the clock tower.

Here is Yumiko Koizumi.

Her shot at green in regulation.

What?

I'm super scared!

All right! I did it!

Yumi-pu, come on and go practice!

Where did she go?

Somebody!

Yumiko!

Help me.

I'm falling.

I'll call the teachers!

Gawain, stay here and

Liebel! Go to that window

in the clock tower now!

What?

Hurry! Yumiko is about to fall!

Okay!

Hang in there, Yumiko!

Hang on, I'm gonna help you right now.

Squishy Joe

Yumiko!

You can't do it, Gawain. Let me try.

I can't hang on.

Unbelievable. With only one hand

Liebel!

Stretch your arms out to their fullest!

Like this?

Yumiko, extend your left arm straight up!

What?

Liebel, I'm counting on you!

Oh yeah!

Are you okay, Yumiko?

Yeah. Thank you, Squishy Joe.

Glad you're okay.

What?

Oh, wait. What?

-Gawain!

-Squishy Joe!

Yes, ten points!

Today's practice is canceled.

Yumiko, Gawain, and Liebel,

help repair the gutter.

Oh no!

Jeez. I couldn't attend

another golf training session today.

Sorry! But thank you very much!

Unbelievable.

The grip strength

to crush a steel rain gutter,

and the strength of limbs and lower back

Gawain, you're not

just a squishy boy, indeed.

You can't beat me in running.

How's that, Liebel?

You're slow!

Squish? Wait!

Are they playing tag?

Those two are like brothers.

Their faces look similar too.

Hope their faces are

the only similar thing.

Are you talking about

Liebel's tournament results?

No doubt he's one of the academy's

most skilled students,

but he hasn't won a single tournament

since he entered the school.

An uncrowned prince.

What?

I'm not allowed to play on the course?

But why?

I heard that students without major wins

have to focus on basic training

for six months.

No!

I learned a lot of the basics

from Miss Kiria before I came here!

I want to play on the course

and get better!

Hey! Please don't tell me

I have to wait six months.

Don't say that to us.

Squishy Joe.

Hey! Please let me play on the course!

Come on, calm down for a bit!

Sorry!

Are you okay?

I want to become a pro

as soon as possible.

My Grandpa is waiting for me

alone in the countryside.

Gawain.

Let's go to Ms. Aria's office together.

Liebel

Permit Gawain to play on the course?

Liebel, why are you asking?

I can feel his strong passion for golf

and want to give him a chance to play.

Yes! I want to become a pro

as soon as possible.

Gawain, you are a student who came here

because of your untapped talent.

That is why it is important

to lay a solid foundation now.

But I want to improve more!

I want to play golf more!

I want to play golf

with other students, with Liebel

Yes, I know.

All right.

-Yay!

-Good for you.

However,

as a condition,

you two compete

in the three holes I specify.

If Gawain wins or ties on any one hole,

let's say he passes.

Lucky for me.

I can compete with Liebel from the start.

That's good, Liebel?

I have to compete

What?

Liebel

What on earth is wrong with him?
