There are three dorms in Easton Magic Academy.
Students with corresponding characteristics are assigned to each dorm.
Adler. Courage and conviction.
Orca. Wisdom and willingness.
Lang. Ability and ambition.
The dorms are rivals with one another.
To visualize their principles and positions,
their friendly rivalry carries across the entire academy.
This is the Adler dorm, where Mash and Finn reside.
In their room, Room 302...
So, five silver coins make one gold coin?
That's five minus two. Let's see...
Just 28 left.
Five minus two is three.
It's a trick question?
No, there's no tricks about this!
So I'm a meathead?
You got that right, but...
In any case, it's so peaceful today with nothing going on.
It sure is...
No, there is something! Our assignment!
ZOOM
Oh. Really?
Crap, crap, I forgot about it!
If we don't submit our Potions assignment,
we'll be severely marked down and we'll be in the drop-out range!
Want one?
This isn't the time for snacks!
Sorry.
I have to do it! I have to do it! I have to do my Potions assignment!
You still haven't done it yet?
Lance.
Oh, it's the lolicon.
That's siscon to you.
Loitering around doing nothing...
You two are the dictionary definition of slackers.
Wait, Lance. Did you finish already?
Of course. I'm a lot more conscious than you are.
I should've expected that from the top student in our class.
Lance is simply flawless.
Guys like you might ruin the dorm's reputation.
Have some shame.
SMASH
He flew backwards by himself?
O, my precious!
Foisting thy fair light upon my feeble eyes unwarn’d!
‘Tis my fate to succumb to thy infinite warmth.
I love you!
You use these for the Potions assignment.
What was with that dramatic display just now?
A mandragora.
Silence their screams and they become a universal ingredient in potions.
AIEEEEEE!
Oh, another thing that uses magic.
"Another"? You know this is magic school, right?
I'll show you how it's done.
Quientus.
You try.
Quientus.
Quientus!
I can't do it. It won't stop screaming.
Finn.
Your center of gravity is unstable. Your core muscles are quite weak.
Huh? Core muscles?
Quientus.
I think it's gotten worse? Its pupils are dilated, too.
Finn, focus your magic on a single point.
Oh, okay.
Listen up, Finn.
Visualize gently caressing it as you release the magic.
O-Okay.
Quientus.
Slowly. That's it.
I did it! I did it, Lance!
Even slackers like you should be able to do this much.
Thanks!
Maybe Lance is really good at taking care of others.
Oh, yeah. How is Mash doing?
That plant's flipped out! It's so huge!
SLAP
I did it.
Did you really, though?
MANDRAGORA COOKING
Once they're asleep, they turn into a regular herb.
Now we create a compound.
Compounding is comparatively simple. Watch closely.
Take this, and first do this.
TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK
Then do this.
SWISH
And do this.
SIZZLE
And with this...
BAM
It's done.
That's not easy at all!
Got it.
You've got to be lying!
No, really.
Trust me, as long as it's not magic.
TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK
First, take this, and then...
SWISH
Do this...
SIZZLE
Then this... And it's done.
BAM
That's totally not it!
How did that end up as a cream puff?
You're screwing around, aren't you?
I'm not screwing around.
You start like this.
'Kay.
Then you add this.
'Kay.
Stir well.
'Kay.
Add this last.
'Kay.
Okay.
BA-YUMMY
Why is this!?
I watched him from start to finish.
When did it become a cream puff!?
You’re completely useless when not fighting, huh?
Well, yeah.
Why is he so confident?
Oh well. Let me warn you.
I won't lose to you ever again.
There's a reason I need to join the Bureau of Magic.
And that is?
It's none of your business.
But you equaled me, if not more, in combat.
I will not allow some nobody to take your coins away from you.
You don't have to warn me, because it won't happen.
Quick with the comebacks.
Let's try this again.
'Kay.
The all-dorm off-campus class is coming up soon.
I wonder if he'll be all right.
And then, that was when...
No way. Are you serious?
And what happened after that?
That's when...
Hey, you bumped into me just now, didn't you?
Don't be walkin' into people's faces!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
What am I supposed to do if I'm not walkin' into people's faces?
Side characters have no right to give me orders, you moron!
The Divine Visionaries are the ones who mold this world.
They rule it.
Tell me, what traits should a ruler possess?
A noble bloodline and overwhelming power that brooks no argument.
Correct. Which means it is not those in Adler.
It is us... Lang.
Seize all of their coins.
Yessir.
Nummy.
Ugh, it's tasty? That's a mandragora!
Yum, yum.
Seriously!?
Apparently, mandragora cream puffs are tasty.
And now, the next day...
We're supposed to be having class here today.
What are we going to do here?
What do you do in a forest... Camping?
That's for leisure. This is a magic school.
I'm number one!
I, Dot Barrett, is the main character of this world!
The world revolves around me!
DOT BARRETT
Whew! It's revolving a bit more than—
Whaddaya think you're looking at!?
Wierdo.
A first-year from our dorm.
Wait, it’s you! The Mushroom Head people keep talking about!
You look like a side character to me.
Who is this guy?
As of today, you’re a side character in both name and reality!
Because yours truly is—
Mash!
Outdoor class is a bit scary.
I'm not going to push myself too hard. So Mash, please take care out there, okay?
Thanks.
Mash, could I possibly tag along—
Hey.
PFFT
I'll kill 'im!
CLENCH
I friggin' hate guys who get attention from women!
I'll kill you! I'll triple kill ya!
It's ridiculous to begin with!
The global ratio of men to women is supposed to be equal!
MEN
WOMEN
So why isn't there a single girl falling in love with me!?
That's right, the answer is simple.
It's because chumps like you ruin the system!
OOOOOOOOOO
Guys like you are why we have an aging population and a lower birthrate!
Won't someone just settle for me!?
That's why I made up my mind!
BAM
I'm gonna join the Bureau of Magic and rid this world of hot guys!
- Oh Mash, I'll totally marry you. - Do cream puffs count as snacks?
That mandragora cream puff was tasty, huh?
Listen to me!
My ego gets bruised the most when I'm ignored!
Quiet, all of you.
Both Adler and Lang will participate in this outdoor exercise.
Your reward will be either a bronze or silver coin. Brace yourselves.
Your task is the extermination of forest scorpions.
Bring me the stones embedded in their foreheads.
Most forest scorpions will only earn you bronze coins,
but a few are strong enough to be worth silver coins.
You can identify them easily.
If the stone in their foreheads are square, they're worth silvers.
Ordinary magic users almost certainly don't stand a chance.
But such accomplishments make you Easton students.
Do what you must to survive.
In you go, in order now.
Yeah, it's on! No way I'm losing to you!
I'd like to make sure to get silver coins here.
I should do my best, too.
You think you're hot stuff, right?
I can tell.
You think you're so special.
You mistakenly think you're not like the others.
You subconsciously look down on others, don't you?
Hey, what are you doing over there?
I'll mark you down for that.
Sorry, Professor. We were just horsing around.
Right, first-year?
Yes, yes. That's the look.
I want to make a pathetically messed up face outta you.
Looking forward to it, first-year!
Hey, Mash.
Ignore him.
He's one year older than us.
And he's infamous for misconduct.
He's injured multiple teachers and students he doesn't like,
to the point of being held back a grade.
But they consider his talent as a magic user, so they haven't expelled him yet.
You hear stuff like that often from Lang dorm.
So, don't bother with them.
I'm glad.
I thought he crushed my cream puff.
That's why he made that face?
And don't tuck food in there directly. It's unhygienic.
'Kay.
I smell tremendous danger.
I think it's wiser for us to work as a pair.
Leave it to me, the oldest son...
I zoned out, and now I'm all alone.
Oh well.
Yo yo yo, get those tails on out, damned scorpions!
I'm gonna show up that mushroom head—
Shut up.
SLAP
Just now, I wasted calories because of you.
This is just terrible.
I'll kill 'im.
Fine. Forget about our class.
Right here right now, you're...
Stop it!
Shut up!
Because of you, I...
I'll make you regret it!
S-Someone... Someone help me!
Explomb.
Raising your hand against a girl... You're so done as a guy.
U-Um...
Huh?
GLOW
Thank you so much.
S-S-S-So beautiful!
Nope. Play it cool! I have to stay calm and act natural!
That was nothing at...
H-H-Her hands... So soft...
You're... so strong.
GLOW
Argh! I can't do it!
Now, is it almost time?
NOM NOM NOM
Thank you so much for what you did earlier.
I-It was nothing.
O-O-Our knees are touching!
So, this is the natural distance of a modern couple?
Stay calm. Be still, my heart.
If I act weird, she'll catch on that I'm unpopular with girls.
Keep cool. Come on, me. Keep cool.
Cool! Cool! Cool!
What's with him? Freaky.
Huh? What'd you just say?
I was marveling at how manly and wonderful you are.
Oh no, I actually said wonderful.
Huh? I thought I heard two syllables.
It's the truth.
You really are wonderful.
With my magic, I can make anyone even slightly attracted to me fall in love.
He's completely fallen for me now.
Though, maybe he might have fallen even without magic.
Next up, that mushroom head...
Thank you too, kind sir. You were a great help.
Oh, I didn't do anything.
What? That's impossible.
There's never been a man who hasn't fallen under my spell.
More like, any guy should be like “hurray!” if a cute girl like me was flirting with him.
I'll have to put more magic energy into it.
That's not true.
You really helped me out.
You're very wonderful.
Sound, sight, touch. My charm reaches all the senses!
There is no man who can resist this!
I said, I didn't do anything.
It's not working at all!? What is wrong with this guy?
Does he seriously not find me attractive!? Die!
Fine. It's ours for the taking now that I have one of theirs.
But you really did save me.
Such a delicate facial expression.
Do you have some kind of circumstance? I'll lend an ear.
Actually, there’s a certain boy threatening me.
A certain boy?
A second-year by the name of Silva.
He's someone I don't hear many good things about.
He's trying to take advantage of magic only I can use.
He's been stalking me for all this time.
I don't want to be involved in anything that’s bad.
But he's forcing me to, like he did earlier.
I don't know what I should do.
I'm sorry to bring this up so suddenly.
It's all right. I'm totally gonna beat that guy up.
Oh no. Please don't go out of your way.
No. He's definitely getting beaten to a pulp.
Kind sir...
Hey!
Who's gonna beat who to a pulp?
Huh?
So you're the guy...
I'll be the one to kill you.
You look like the cringiest punk out there.
Whenever I come across a deluded loser like you, I can't help but give them a dose of reality.
And when I do, what kind of look will you have on your face?
Explomb!
Machine Gun Explomb!
I'm not done yet!
Oi oi oi oi!
Explomb!
Die twice!
Meanwhile...
- I'm so glad you’re with us. - I’m so scared!
Let go.
Don't leave us!
Anyway, is he doing all right?
- Please don't! No! Don't leave us! - You’re the only one we can rely on!
It seems that second-year was targeting him.
They haven’t run into each other, have they?
Heh! You weren't much of anything!
Your puny magic can't break through mine.
Got it!?
Hey hey, what's wrong now? Where'd all that energy go?
You're gonna kill me, right?
Why don't you try a bit harder?
But it's no wonder!
Because even a moron can tell the difference...
once they've seen the difference in our skills!
