03x01 - Burn Bright, Mad Dog

[bunniefuu]

I received Rudeus as a gift
for my fifteenth birthday.

It was a little different from
what he promised,

but I'd been bound to Rudeus.

So small.

But I always end up getting saved.

I'm not good enough for Rudeus.

Eris...

What?

Who's that?

Isn't that Ghislaine?

Stop the training!

All of you, go to the Sword Hall!

MUSHOKU TENSEI: JOBLESS
REINCARNATION SEASON 3

Hey, Ghislaine.
You're still alive, huh?

It's been a long time, Master.

I thought you were dead somewhere.

You're in better shape than I expected.

And who's that girl?

This is Eris, my disciple.

I brought her here because
I wanted Master to train her.

Oh? You want me to train her?

I don't have any use
for a small fry like you!

How dare you insult Master!

On your knees!

The person in front of you
is Sword God Gal Farion!

I was surprised that
you came back so suddenly,

but what did you teach her?!

Teach her the etiquette first!
- Why don't you teach her yourself?

Hurry up and get out of here!

Be quiet.

I like the look in your eyes.

Who exactly do you want to k*ll?

The Dragon God.

Dragon God Orsted.

Dragon God?
- She said the Dragon God?

Is he one of the Seven Great Powers?
- Who is Orsted?

Almost no one knows his real name.
- Who would deal with him?!

I see!

I'm indeed a small fry
compared to Orsted.

I see. You wanna k*ll him, eh?

I never thought I'd meet someone
who wanted to k*ll him besides me.

However, talk is cheap.

Can you do it?

I will.

Let's see your swordsmanship.

Gino, be her opponent.
- What?

Gino, be her opponent.
- Why someone like her?

Huh?! Y-Yes, sir!

He's our youngest student.

He's still soft,
but he's pretty skilled.

Then, to the center...

See? He's soft, isn't he?

No kidding.

You're up next, Nina.

Yes, sir!

Face each other properly this time.

A surprise attack is okay,

but I'd like to see how you fight
sword to sword.

I'll k*ll her.

Begin!

S-Stop!

That's enough!

Do you have anyone
who isn't soft here?!

H-How dare you!

Are you here to humiliate us?!

Know your place!
- Is that even a sword match?!

Sorry, guess I underestimated you a bit.

I'll be your opponent.

You don't need to
face her yourself, Master.

Allow me...

Don't get too worked up.
I'll hold myself back.

Hey, nice sword you got there.

Ain't that one of Julian's?

I don't know.

A member of the Migurd tribe
gave it to me.

I see.

Well, this here is also
one of Julian's works.

Let's go.

Incredible!

Eris!

Eris...

Ghislaine, patch her up.

As of today, she's a Sword Saint.

I'll train her, starting tomorrow.

What?!
- Someone like her?!

Master!

Sword Saint is a special title,

granted only to those who've mastered
Longsword of Light!

Why would you give it
to a monkey like her...

She beat two brats who have
mastered Longsword of Light.

That's good enough for me.

B-But...

Someone doesn't become a Sword God
just by learning something, you know?

I get none myself,
even though I'm special.

So why do I need to give
the Sword Saints special treatment?

My apologies, Master.

Is this all you've got?

Hey, do you still have time to think
about other things?

Just swing your sword without
thinking about anything.

Swing without thinking too much.

When you're tired,
sit down and think it over.

When you're tired of thinking,
stand up and swing your sword again.

Huh? Ghislaine can write?

It seems so.

But there's no one who can read it,
so there's nothing to prove it.

I thought it was a lie.

Why is Father accepting
someone like her?

Hey, instead of wielding a sword,
you seem better at throwing punches!

You're right!

Gino, say something to her!

Huh?

Would you like to try joining us
for practice sometime?

Huh?! What are you saying?

He's Father...
Sword God's direct disciple!

Doesn't it make you upset, Gino?

But I lost to her.

You lost unfairly to someone whose style
isn't suited to the Sword God Style!

There's no way you'd lose
in a proper duel!

I wonder...

Swinging a sword is difficult.

Ghislaine is faster.

Ruijerd is faster.

The Sword God is even faster.

And Orsted is beyond that.

I need to be faster.

How does the Sword God move?

My grip...

My stance...

That's no good.

Rudeus.

It's still far too slow.

Excuse me!

Is there anyone inside?

Excuse me!

Thank goodness,
someone's finally arrived.

I'm North Emperor, Auber...

Move.

What's with her?!

You're in my way.

I am known as Auber the Peacock Blade.

I see that you're a student
of the Sword God Style.

Might I request that you guide me
to meet the Sword God?

I told you to move.

That's enough.

It has been a while, Sword God.

So you came, North Emperor.

I read your letter.

When I called out to the dojo,
that girl attacked me.

It's the first time I've seen
a swordfighter that relentless.

She is almost like a beast, oh...

This girl is the Mad Dog
you mentioned?

Yeah, that's right.

Welcome back, Eris.

Master, why aren't you teaching
Eris anything?

I'm teaching her, you know?

You only told her to swing her sword!

No, I'm teaching her to temper herself.

You always said to do
everything logically.

Yes, I did.

So what are you doing with Eris?

She's out there swinging her sword
every day like an idiot.

What part of that is logical?

Huh?

It's been a few years, and she hasn't
mastered Longsword of Light yet.

Why didn't you teach her?

Since when did you become such a nag?

Since before I came back here!

So you aren't going to listen to what
your master tells you anymore?

But...

Ghislaine, I kinda regret
the way I taught you.

You used to be like a starved tiger,

but now you're like a kitten
without her fangs.

If you'd have stayed the way you are,
you'd be a Sword Emperor by now.

I'm not going to let her
lose her fangs too.

I don't understand.

Why won't you have her
practice like others?

That's not very fair to Eris, is it?

Listen, Ghislaine.

If someone wants to surpass me,
they need to figure it out for themselves.

But her objective is Dragon God Orsted.

He's a monster beyond imagination.

She can't beat him with
my teachings alone.

Hey, Ghislaine,
training isn't just about practice.

Especially if you have a goal,

there's no point
in following someone's orders.

You always say complicated things.

I don't understand.

In other words, it means just learning
from me won't be enough for her.

That's why I have this guy.

I'm North Emperor Auber Corbett.

I'm also known as the Peacock Blade.

What is someone from
the North God Style here?

The Sword God asked me
to train one of his disciples.

Why the North God Style?

I don't see how their underhanded
tricks would suit Eris.

Because the Dragon God used it.

Just who is this Dragon God?

I don't know myself.

What I do know is that
he's mastered all sword styles,

like Sword God Style or North God Style.

Which means, he could counter
any sword styles used against him.

So there's no way she can
fight him on even footing,

without learning them as well.

I see. Will you be calling someone
to teach her the Water God Style, too?

Yeah, I already sent a letter.

I see.

Well then, North Emperor,
please make yourself at home.

Yes, Sword King.

I'm going to trouble you for a while.

The wild welcome yesterday
really touched my heart.

Let me check out the Mad Dog's skills
one more time.

Begin!

More...
I have to get stronger.

Until I can stand beside Rudeus.

Who is this Rudeus?

I am the swordswoman,
and Rudeus is the magician.

Rudeus is...

Amazing!

Oh! That is...!

There's no mistake!
It was Longsword of Light!

Its speed and power are perfect.

Amazing...

That was a fascinating attack.

Can I request one more fight?

Of course!
