01x10 - The Attack

[bunniefuu]

- The magic survival game went on forever.

- Here I go! I'm gonna drink!

- It took an entire day.

- Every coven was impressive to watch.

- Join me, y'all!

- Professor Deneb is the only one left.

The students must be sleeping
like logs right now.

Actual combat is way more
exhausting than any practice.

It's been a while since our
cohort got together for a drink.

How old were you when you
were hired again, Claude?

Seventeen.

So young!

A professor at seventeen?
You're an exception among exceptions.

And you became first-class
while you were still a student.

You sure are something else.

It's starting to piss me off.

It's in the past. It doesn't matter.

It matters.

You still haven't told us

why you fled from Diana
when the cultists attacked.

Even after the school faculty
and the royal army

suppressed the cultists,
you never returned.

I was convinced you were dead.

But two years later, you came back.

Isn't it about time you
told us what happened?

That day, I...

Yoohoo!

Are y'all drinking?

Drink up, Prof!

Drink! Drink!

Professor Polaris...

How about you cut back
on the drinking, yeah?

I like those eyes!

Belittle me more!

I can't with this woman!

You deal with her, Pro-whatsyourface!

It's Procyon! We're colleagues!

I think the moment to ask is gone.

The last day of camp.

Well done, everyone.

Professor Deneb's so cute.

What are we doing for our final training?

Get off me!

I can't move. All my muscles are hurting.

Now, everyone, please undress.

I wouldn't have thought our final
day would be a health check.

She is a health teacher, after all.

Pretty anticlimactic, huh?

Was that from the exam room?!

That was Ewe's voice.

She's back.

Is she all right?

I'm full of energy!

Muscle aches all gone-gone!

For real?

Is it just me, or has
her personality changed?

I feel great!

The whole world is so colorful! Oh, yeah!

Thank you, Earth!

Next, Spica Virgo.

This is an exam, right?!

What's going on in there?!

Now, I'm going to check your health

and treat the injuries and
fatigue from your time at camp.

You can do that?

Yes.

My Taurus Magic lets me strengthen
other people's bodies.

I can activate your cells to improve your
natural healing and physical abilities.

Goddess of healing, Eir.

I wonder if her healing magic
is like my Rebirth Magic.

It tingles, like there's energy
running through my body.

I'm starting to feel warm.

My muscles are relaxing.

All the tension in my body is easing.

I feel like I'm a bubble, melting away.

This feels great!

There, all done.

You're in good health.

That felt great!

I'm brimming with strength.

That's good to hear.

Though...

You'll be in a trance-like
state for a while.

I believe I can fly! I believe
I can soar! Fly away!

I can't believe this girl

Who needs a broom anyway?!

didn't have so much as a scrape
after that grueling camp.

Something felt off when I saw
the magic power in her body, too.

Like there's some other magic
coursing through her.

Just who is she, anyway?

I am God!

The heavens and earth are mine to control!

After three long days,
we finally got all the stamps!

Camp's over!

I can't wait to sleep in my own bed.

Have we really gained any strength?

I doubt we'll notice it immediately.

I'm never going to any
training camps again.

Good work everyone. Truly.

All right, everyone, we're going home.

Load your stuff onto the train.

Okay.

Hey, Professor.

I made it through the whole camp.

You're welcome to praise me.

Why should I have to praise you?

But I worked so hard!

I'll give you all the praise
if you pass the finals.

Don't forget you said that!

Those two seem awfully close, don't they?

Maybe they're going out?

What?! S-Student-and-instructor
relationships are forbidden!

Let's go load up our stuff, Spica.

Hana?

You pervert prof!

Huh? Does she hate me?

Let's go!

Okay, sure.

Huh?

What's wrong?

My luggage is missing.

Want us to help you find it?

Nah, I'll go check my room.

I'll catch up with all of you.

The train leaves in ten minutes.

We're leaving you behind
if you don't make it.

Crap! I gotta hurry!

I couldn't find it in the lodge.

Maybe someone took it by accident.

That's my luggage!

Why is it out there?!

Jeez. Who pranked me?

I hope my stuff is all right.

Good day.

Who's she? When did she get here?

Hello. Are you from nearby?

Goodness, no.

Who would live this deep
in the mountains?

She's cute.

She's like a doll.

I'm the one who threw out your stuff.

Wh-What for?

"What for?"

So that I could abduct you, Spica.

Anima!

I was hoping I wouldn't have to
do this in such a roundabout way,

but Rigel is so cautious.

My voice!

I'd love to behead you right now, in fact,

but he wants me to bring you
in alive, so I'm holding back.

Aren't I a good girl?

What's wrong with her?

Why is she doing this to me?

Oh, that's right.

I haven't introduced myself yet.

I'm Arc Turus.

I'll be taking your Rebirth Magic.

My Rebirth Magic?

What are you going to do with me?

Oh? You can speak already?

So much for my snakies' venom.

That magic of yours really is impressive.

I'm going to take you to
the Order's headquarters.

I won't hurt you as long
as you don't resist.

Why would you even bother?

Rebirth Magic just makes me recover
a little faster than normal.

It's just something like
healing magic, isn't it?

Please don't compare it to such a toy.

You don't understand the
value of your power, do you?

There's only one person in the
world who can use Rebirth Magic.

Use it correctly, and you
can even overthrow nations.

It's magic that can make you a god.

Overthrow nations? How would you—

I don't like noisy people.

Shut up for a second.

The train's leaving.

Nice.

No one will get in my way now.

I'd hate to have to
deal with the teachers.

I've been waiting so long for the
moment I could get you alone.

I'm scared.

I can't breathe.

I'm gonna die!

Ooh.

I love that face.

It gives me shivers.

I'm supposed to bring you back alive,

but I guess your Rebirth Magic can
fix you up even if you suffocate?

Oh, no...

My vision's going blank.

I'm blacking out.

Scorpion Magic!

Who are you?

That's my line!

What are you doing to Spica?!

Spica! Hang in there!

You wouldn't come back,
so we came looking for you.

Are you all right?

Professor?

What happened to you?

Who is she?

I don't know what's going on, either.

But she said she's after my Rebirth Magic.

Why aren't you all on the train?

What? As if we'd leave our friend behind.

Is that so hard for you to understand?

Would you mind getting out of my way?

I need to take the girl, or Rigel
is going to be upset with me.

I'm working so hard.
Wouldn't you feel bad for me?

Don't play games.

That mark you have...
You're a cultist, aren't you?

A cultist?!

She's with the t*rrorists that
attacked Diana two years ago!

We can't let her get close to Spica, then.

"Cultist"...

I hate it when you call us that.

You simply...

don't understand the high
philosophy of the Black Serpent!

Ophiuchus Magic!

What is that move?!

Ophiuchus Magic?

What is this black snake?

I've never seen magic like this!

Professor...

Good job, servant!

Use your first-class power
to blow her to pieces!

That snake...

It drew the life out of the flowers.

This is forbidden magic.

I need to defeat her before
my magic power runs out.

"Professor," huh?

So you're still at it?

"Still"?

Do you remember me?

Arc...

No... It can't be.

You know her?

Arc Turus.

Formerly of Claude Coven.

My student.

But why would your student...

How long are you gonna
keep up the teacher act?

My place isn't at Diana anymore.

I have someone else instructing me now.

He's annoyingly strict and naggy.

But Rigel's really strong.

He could easily throw
down with a first-class.

You talk too much, Arc.

When did he get here?!

No...

How could he catch our
professor off-guard?!

I wanted to keep things simple, but
those heathens who oppose our wishes

must be exterminated in the
name of our lord, Asclepius.

Goodbye.

He vanished.

Professor, you're bleeding!

I'm fine.

But where is he?

Good grief.

This has become quite a mess.

Arc, this is all because you didn't
take Spica Virgo more quickly.

It's not my fault.

You wasted time tormenting
your target again, didn't you?

You need to become more detached,
or you'll never complete your missions.

- Blah, blah, groan, groan.

- Don't lecture me in the middle of this!

Well, no matter.

After all, Claude's just the man who was

defeated by the Black Serpent
two years ago.

His students aren't any more capable.

There's no reason to
waste any more time here.

Let's clean this up quickly.

Ophiuchus Magic: Shadow Snake.

He disappeared again!

Gotcha!

I see through that magic already!

Sagittarius Magic!

Professor!

Glare!

He seems to be able to travel
freely through shadows.

How are we supposed to stop him?

Are you all right, Professor?

The professor's already
used magic several times.

Even without it being Grand
Magic, if he keeps this up,

he'll run out of magic power
and turn back into a cat.

You all look so worried.

I've really lost respect, huh?

Don't worry.

I won't let anyone die.

R-Right.

Impressively quick reaction.

It shows that you truly
care about your students.

And your students, so roused and inspired!

Such beautiful love between
master and apprentice!

I seem to have misjudged you.

Your love, which drives you to
sacrifice yourself for your students,

is like that of a mother.

The embodiment of a holy man!

You are the ideal instructor!

I'm in love with all of you.

Uh-oh.

They've become his new favorite.

No one can stop Rigel
when he's so infatuated.

Claude's whole coven
is truly done for now.

Pardon me.

I can't help but be drawn to such
things as love and friendship.

You could call it a yearning.

But the world is filled
with lies and deceit.

So let me test you.

Can you truly sacrifice yourself
to protect your students?

What is he talking about?

What a creep.

Now...

Let me behold the finest
of bonds, Mr. Claude!

Ophiuchus Grand Magic: Beelzebub Serpent!

Wh-What is this freak?!

Chiron!

Professor!

Stay alert.

It has teeth all over its body.

Get too close, and it'll mince you.

It's about to attack in a wide area.

Is it planning to wipe
out the entire forest?!

Sheesh. You're one to talk
about being detached.

You're flipping out more than anyone.

The boss was right.

Rigel is usually a gentleman
and a capable teacher of magic.

But he has a tendency to fixate on
love and friendship and the like.

You should stay away
from him when he does.

How come?

Once, in order to test his family's bonds,

he used magic to m*rder them
and consume their flesh.

That's insane. Yikes.

It may not make sense to us,

but that is his way of
confirming his relationships.

I've ended up with one
nutcase of an instructor.

But I can't help but admire his abilities.

Capella, do you have a plan?

It's over...

We don't have a chance
against this level of power.

Help me, Professor!

Sagittarius Grand Magic...

Dragon Bow: Tornado Arrow!

Marvelous, Claude!

You'd target me, too?

Are you all okay?

Professor!

We did it! They're gone!

Did that blow them away?

I-I thought we were dead.

That was amazing...

So that's how first-class
magicians do battle.

Thank you so much, Professor!

No...

It's not over yet.

They won't go down so easily.

Still, I had to use my Grand Magic
to protect my students.

That's just how strong they are.

Everyone, listen up.

We don't have time.

Run down the mountain as fast
as you can and call for help.

They'll be back in no time.

Don't let yourselves be caught!

B-But...

I believe in you.

What are you talking about?! You're...

So bright.

What is it this time?

H-He turned into a cat?!

What's going on?

Is this the enemy's magic, too?

Is the professor okay?

I don't know.

We need to get him treated quick.

Th-The professor is—

sh*t! What the hell?!

Why is this happening to us?

Chiron...

Can we get away from them on our own?

I'm too terrified to move.

Is this the fear of death?

I'm sorry, everyone.

It's my fault you're
all caught up in this.

It isn't your fault, Spica!

But...

I believe in you.

We can't just stand here.

We have to use the opportunity
the professor gave us.

And Professor Claude would never say
something was possible if it wasn't.

Which means we have what
it takes to escape!

So let's all work together
to get through this!

You're right.

Your hand's shaking.

I let myself be shaken.

I wanna get home alive and
have lots of good food!

Let's do this!

Go, Claude Coven!

And so began the students'
fight for their lives.

Those guys fought like monsters.

Are we really going to
make it out without help?

Don't be afraid, Chiron.

I shall protect you!

I'm not scared!

Want me to hold your hand?

Stop treating me like a kid!
