01x02 - The Tower of Fangs -

[bunniefuu]

I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!

I keep searching in the dark

It will take your place

Come on

The world hasn't known

Giving my everything

It's not over

It's not over
The journey never ends

Destiny

Never regret
Go forward with determination

Resonance of Faith
Let's complete the great journey

Remember when you were
Attracted to this sound

All our memories go with the wind

Catch up! Never give up!

Don't cry, follow the way of the sun

Keep moving forward
Keep on shinning

Go with the wind, and fly away

Don't you wanna fly?

In your heart (right here, right now)

Don't be scared
(taking you to another world)

Find out just the way you are!

Destiny is calling you. Go!

We Go! We Go! We Go! Go!

Get up! Stand up!

Find out just the way you are!

SORCEROUS STABBER ORPHEN

Stop!

That is...

That is...

The moment he spoke up,

the monster looked up and roared

like a dog howling from far away.

It seemed like a normal howl,
nothing special.

Yet when the sound began to spread,

it was like a tide
that covers the whole world.

I knit thee thus, Chainmail of Haloes!

Untangle these webs, Dancing Bronco!

Azalie, it's me!

Don't run!

Azalie!

THE TOWER OF FANGS

It seemed like a long time ago.

But actually, it was not.

Located in the west of the Continent,
The Tower of Fangs

was the training institution
of the best sorcerers.

Childman's class was
the most famous there,

with a group of super talented students.

Heartia.

Hark, o Light!

Erase!

Leticia.

Yes.

Thunder!

Tear apart!

Bummer.

Where is Kolgon?

He's been reading in the attic.

Is he still in the tower?

That's rare.

Such a loner.
I don't know what to do with him.

I hope he lets me, the class monitor,
know when he plans to go somewhere.

Then you're next, Forte.

I don't want to fight you, Master.

Why? You're no fun.

It's my turn then.

Combine 2-7-5!

Ripples!

See? It's getting exciting.

Yes, it is now.

Right? Right?

We are not playing.

I know.

Hark, o Light!

She truly is The Chaos Witch.

Untangle these webs, Dancing Bronco!

What happened?

The g*ng from
the class of Childman, again.

Azalie, you hit too hard.

It wouldn't be training otherwise.

Even so, you have to write
a self-evaluation letter.

No way! Again?

This is outrageous! I've written 50!

Faking having feelings for me. So cruel!

Enjoy that now,
but you better not break it later.

I don't collect music instruments
just for fun.

Since our voices can create magic,

I wonder if music could, too.

Hey, are you done?

Hey. Why do I have to write
your letter of self-evaluation?

Because I am sick of it.

Then stop doing what you shouldn't do!

That's right.

If you keep messing things up,
the class of Childman will be canceled.

Other classes have already
been hostile to us.

They say the students in this class
are super talented, yet troubled.

So you...

That's right. I volunteered to be
a Discipline Committee Member.

I am to handle
the reckless ones, like you.

Handle her?
Don't you drag me down with her again.

This time, I've succeeded.

I've created the Portable Mobile Weapon
to be used in combat.

The greatest invention ever!

This work of art will be named...

What... what have you done?

It will be named...

the useless crappy device,

Goodbye-Arch.

Are you kidding me?
I'll make you pay for this.

You always invent these absurd machines.

I'm sick of cleaning your messes.

That's right. Keep this up,
and everyone will have to pay.

What did I do?

I only gave Tissy's lipstick
to the Hidden Guards.

What did you do?

Shame on you!

Thunder!

We are cursed.

Hey! Wake up!

How could you be sleeping still?

It's your fault
that we are locked in this place.

Wake up, wake the hell up!

Fraud, Disorderly Conduct, Vandalism.

So many charges.
How long will we be here?

Hey, Sorcerer!
Use your magic and get us out of here.

If I wanted to flee,
I would have long ago.

This kind of lock would only
take me 2 seconds.

But I don't want to be a fugitive.

It was you two
who committed fraud, not me.

The biggest issue was that monster.

Everyone there saw you
communicated with it.

Don't call her monster!

"Her"?

Children usually long for
the older women who take care of them.

I knew you weren't normal.

Did that monster raise you?

So it did. I knew it.

I grew up in the Tower of Fangs.

The Tower of Fangs?
The highest peak of Sorcery?

She was there too.

We and her cousin came to the
Tower of Fangs from the same orphanage.

We were all orphans.

To be precise,
all the Sorcerers there were orphans.

No family would let their child
enter the Tower of Fangs.

After all, only 10% of the students
could be alive and graduate.

Then that monster... No.

Was she a human?

That's right.

Did you come here
to turn her back into a human?

I had been searching for her.

Finally, when I was about to give up,
there she was.

However, I don't understand her magic.

At the moment,
I have no way to fight her.

Krylancelo.

No. Should I call you Orphen now?

Heartia.

Let's go. The Master is waiting.

THE TOTOKANTA BRANCH OF
THE CONTINENTAL SORCERERS' ASSOCIATION

I can't believe you're in Totokanta.

I'm the Judicial Clerk here now,

yet only a servant of the people.

You haven't changed a bit, Heartia.

But you have, a lot.

It's been 5 years,

Krylancelo.

Master has finally recovered.

5 YEARS AGO

Whose funeral is this?

Azalie's.

Is her body in this coffin?

Then it's not her funeral!

Krylancelo.

You're burying her existence,

just to save the name
of the Tower, aren't you?

You should understand.

She failed the test,
turned into a monster, then ran away.

This would be a deadly stain
for the Tower.

She's not a stain!

She's the best sorcerer
in the history of the Tower.

Not only Black Sorcery,
but also White Sorcery.

Yes, she used to be
an excellent sorcerer.

Not "used to be". She's still alive.

Stop! If you go on, even you'll be...

Why would you stop me?

You are one of the best in the Tower.

You even got to the top of our class.

Shut up! Heartia.

I got to the top,
because Azalie never took the tests.

Tests have no meaning to her.

If you want to bury this empty coffin,

then let me give you something
to put inside.

Use me.

Bury my name

with the name of Azalie.

I will find her

no matter how many years it'd take.

Till then, just call me Orphen.

Without her, I'm just an orphan.

Now that you're awake,
I have something to ask you.

She said she and you did an experiment.

What was that experiment?

The experiment of
the Sword of Baldanders.

The Sword of Baldanders?

However, it failed.

The sword's power exploded,
turned her into that thing,

and put me into a coma.

The moment I woke up,
she began to act, too.

I was afraid she had lost consciousness,
like I had.

But now, it's unknown
whether Azalie is still in there or not.

There may still be a little memory
and instinct lingering in her mind,

waiting to turn back
to what it used to be.

Why was that sword there?

It was the order of the Master,

before he fully lost his consciousness.

He told Forte, who'd just rushed over...

I'd known the Everlastings
for many years.

For the sword to not be used by others,

I sealed it up and left it
at the Everlasting's.

That's why she appeared at that mansion.

She thought she could turn back to normal
with the sword.

I came here with that hope, too.

Yet, I have no idea where she is.

You've just recovered, but your magic
is still more powerful than hers,

even though Azalie's a genius
in the history of the Tower.

It's like that in field of Black Sorcery.

But she still has a k*ller move.

White Sorcery.

White Sorcerers have the power
to control the time and the mind.

It seems unremarkable,
yet extremely powerful.

To fight a White Sorcerer, we need

more great Black Sorcerers
who have excellent fighting skills.

You want me to help you k*ll her?

Wasn't she your student?

I won't force you.

But if you agree to join us,
it'll be great.

I refuse.

A powerful sorcerer who lost her mind,
now running away with a forbidden sword.

If people know about this,
the Tower will lose its dignity.

Moreover, this could be
your redemption, Krylancelo.

If you help us,
you'll get your old name back.

You can even return to the Tower.

I...

You two.

No need to talk nonsense anymore.

Krylancelo.

Tonight, we will gather
and go hunt that monster.

How do you know where she is?

Right after I got here,
I snuck into the Everlasting's,

and put a sign
on The Sword of Baldanders.

I can locate it anywhere it goes.

You're always one step ahead of me.

If you want to meet her,
you have to come fight with us.

What is your decision?

When will you go?

At sunset.

Get ready before that.

Orphen, lunch is ready.

You're running again?

No way.

Then?

I'm going to work.

Collecting debts is not an easy job.

That's not it.

I'm not sure whether I'll be back.

The story once stopped, now goes on.

Maybe one day,
this moment will come to you, too.

Mother and sister are sick now,

Mr Marriage Fraudster.

I no longer do those things.

So, today you're here as a repairman?

More or less.

I repair thee, Scars of the Sunset!

What does that mean?

Nothing special.

Using the voice as a medium
to create magic, that's what's important.

Even meaningless words can create magic.

Is that so?

Yes, it is.

Repair thee!

I didn't think you'd come here
to help fixing things.

Thank you.

If you pay me, I can pay my rent
which is long overdue.

Sorry. I can't use money.

How about this?

I was kidding.

This ring used to belong to a sorcerer.

My father gave it to me.

Can you read these, Krylancelo?

Are these words?

Ancient writing. Words of Magic.

The writing on this ring means
"Be disarmed, my foes".

Therefore, whoever wears it
can stay out of danger.

It may work only once.

Only once?

Yes, the writing is not very accurate.

The sorcerer who did it
couldn't be a great one.

I can only wear it on my little finger.

This might have been designed
for a lady with pretty and slim fingers.

Azalie's fingers are pretty, too.

You are so sweet.

Thank you, Krylancelo.

It could have been designed for a kid,
not necessarily a lady.

Not bad.

If so, a chant is not necessary
for it to work.

Actually tonight, I'll do an experiment on
ancient magic, just like one on this ring.

Experiment?

That's right.

The Master asked me
to study the words of magic.

He says this experiment
is extremely dangerous.

But I'll still do it.

Is there something wrong with that ring?

Did Forte bring this ring here, too?

Forte?

The tall one with short hair.

Yes.

The one came to see my father
from the Tower of Fangs.

So it was him.

Did you live in the Tower of Fangs, too?

Yes.

This ring used to belong to Azalie.

Azalie?

Yesterday, you yelled "Azalie"
in front of that monster.

That monster... is Azalie?

She is not a monster.

Azalie, she...

I was going to fix the garden, too.
But there's no time now.

Where are you going?

Looking for her.

Do you want to catch her?

No, I want to take her and run away,
before they get to her.

I have to protect her.

It's time.

Let's go.

You came.

Join the troop.

But you have to be in the front line.

Even if you die, no need to write
self-evaluation letter anymore.

Let's go.

You came, Krylancelo.

Comicron.

This troop is full of skilled Sorcerers.
Of course I will see some familiar faces.

But there's no time to dwell on the past.

I must protect her.

If I ask you "Do you believe in destiny?"

How will you answer?

Although we can't believe in appearance

Sometimes there's a surprise

It always begins suddenly

All is prepared
Let's go out today

Look up at the sky

Find a light that shocks the soul

Even when you can't hear my voice

Just keep calling my name around me

My tears will become magic

Go across the horizon
Where we can't go back

The unknown tomorrow is waiting for us

Orphen, I want to go look for her too.

It's too dangerous. I've joined the hunt,
and that's enough.

I'm a great sword warrior.

Besides, I'm in charge of my own life!
MONSTER! ANSWER ME!
