The enemy of the world
that filled the horizon with fear,
4
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:17,435
was defeated by somebody.
5
00:00:18,352 --> 00:00:20,688
To this very day,
6
00:00:20,771 --> 00:00:23,816
that lone Hero remains unknown,
both in name and existence.
7
00:00:24,942 --> 00:00:27,737
Now the age of fear has come to an end,
8
00:00:28,446 --> 00:00:31,782
that person has to be chosen.

Lord Hidow, we've received a report
from headquarters in Mage City.
16
00:02:22,101 --> 00:02:26,814
Jeez. Do New Principality issues
fall under my jurisdiction already?
17
00:02:26,897 --> 00:02:27,898
Yes, sir.
18
00:02:27,982 --> 00:02:31,235
The Third Minister
sent notification this morning.
19
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:32,945
Jelki, huh?
20
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,490
So he's still working
at breakneck speed then.
21
00:02:36,574 --> 00:02:37,992
All right, what was the report?
22
00:02:38,075 --> 00:02:42,079
Regular communication from 10 members
of our secret service has stopped.
23
00:02:42,663 --> 00:02:45,207
In a matter of one day…
24
00:02:45,291 --> 00:02:47,376
Their base must have been surrounded.
25
00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:50,087
What about survivors? Did nobody escape?
26
00:02:50,171 --> 00:02:52,131
[guard] No, sir, not a single person.
27
00:02:52,757 --> 00:02:55,117
All were elite agents
commanded by the Seventeenth Minister.
28
00:02:55,468 --> 00:02:56,552
[Hidow] Hmm…
29
00:02:58,721 --> 00:03:01,557
How many will you need?
30
00:03:02,057 --> 00:03:04,018
For this tactical squad,
31
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:06,520
I'd want the 64 members of Squad 16.
32
00:03:06,896 --> 00:03:08,481
I'd probably need a sniper team too.
33
00:03:08,564 --> 00:03:10,524
Does Miss Elea know about this?
34
00:03:10,608 --> 00:03:11,609
Miss Elea?
35
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:13,652
The Seventeenth Minister.
36
00:03:13,736 --> 00:03:15,571
Elea the Red Tag.
37
00:03:15,654 --> 00:03:18,032
- [grunts]
- [Hidow] She leads the tactical squads.
38
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:21,118
You should probably report to her first,
not me.
39
00:03:21,577 --> 00:03:25,122
Although I heard she's currently
undercover on a different operation.
40
00:03:25,206 --> 00:03:26,207
Yes, sir.
41
00:03:26,582 --> 00:03:30,419
She appears to be in a remote region
where radzio communication isn't possible.
42
00:03:30,503 --> 00:03:33,714
So I thought I'd report to you first,
as you're the person in charge.
43
00:03:33,798 --> 00:03:35,257
The person in charge?
44
00:03:35,341 --> 00:03:36,342
Come on.
45
00:03:36,425 --> 00:03:38,844
I haven't been officially appointed yet.
46
00:03:38,928 --> 00:03:40,262

[guard]
Shall we send in new undercover agents?
51
00:03:50,481 --> 00:03:53,567
We'd only be sending them to their deaths.
52
00:03:53,651 --> 00:03:55,444
We need to try something else.
53
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:59,240
[Hidow]
To the east of Mage City Headquarters,
54
00:03:59,323 --> 00:04:01,992
there's sunken ground
that's been carved out by a stream.
55
00:04:02,451 --> 00:04:05,037
Have your men set up camp there.
56
00:04:05,621 --> 00:04:07,373
I know of that sunken ground,
57
00:04:07,456 --> 00:04:10,042
but it's extremely far out
from headquarters.
58
00:04:10,125 --> 00:04:12,878
[guard] It's not a particularly useful
position for defense.
59
00:04:12,962 --> 00:04:14,839
[Hidow] We'll use it to attack.
60
00:04:14,922 --> 00:04:18,050
Those pesky wyverns won't spot us there.
61
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:21,637
I'll send over
a few fortification experts tomorrow.
62
00:04:21,846 --> 00:04:22,930
[guard] Understood.
63
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:24,181
Incidentally,
64
00:04:24,849 --> 00:04:27,476
about the release
of the Vortical Stampede…
65
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,894
Lord Hidow,
66
00:04:28,978 --> 00:04:30,604
will you be in control of this?
67
00:04:30,688 --> 00:04:33,190
- Sure, move out of the way.
- [surprised grunt]
68
00:04:42,825 --> 00:04:44,577

[Nihilo] Don't worry,

00:04:52,543 --> 00:04:53,961
I'm awake now.
72
00:04:54,044 --> 00:04:56,797
Apparently, 10 secret service members
based in the New Principality
73
00:04:56,881 --> 00:04:59,133
were all killed in a single day.
74

there is.

00:05:53,729 --> 00:05:55,481
[Elea] My great-grandmother used to say
88
00:05:56,523 --> 00:06:00,277
that beauty is a talent given to us
by an angel when we're born.
89
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:02,529
But…
90
00:06:03,906 --> 00:06:05,491
I don't think that's true.
91
00:06:08,661 --> 00:06:11,789
Beauty appears with talent and hard work.
92
00:06:12,665 --> 00:06:16,168
It requires
continuous and meticulous maintenance.

Oh.

Ms. Elea!

00:06:25,594 --> 00:06:26,804
[Yawika] But why?
97
00:06:26,887 --> 00:06:29,056
I thought you'd gone back to Aureatia.

Right!

Will Kia be here until tomorrow too?
109
00:06:54,331 --> 00:06:55,332
Of course.
110
00:06:55,416 --> 00:06:58,585
She'll come and say bye to everyone
when we leave.
111
00:06:58,669 --> 00:07:00,462
Ms. Elea,
112
00:07:00,546 --> 00:07:01,547
teach me something.
113
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:02,965
A private lesson for me!
114
00:07:03,048 --> 00:07:04,800
I guess I have no choice.
115
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:07,553
Okay, but Words Arts systems only.
116
00:07:07,636 --> 00:07:08,887
I don't want you getting dizzy.

00:07:08,971 --> 00:07:09,972
Yay!
118
00:07:12,474 --> 00:07:15,936
[Elea] In Word Arts,
there are four main systems.
119
00:07:16,478 --> 00:07:19,023
Though elves don't really differentiate
between them.
120
00:07:19,106 --> 00:07:20,441
But in the Central…
121
00:07:20,899 --> 00:07:23,527
In minian education, that's not the case.
122
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:24,695
I know!
123
00:07:24,778 --> 00:07:26,697
There's Thermal Arts, Craft Arts,
124
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:27,948
and…
125
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:29,408
What else was there?
126
00:07:29,491 --> 00:07:31,076
Oh, well done!
127
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,911
You already knew two of them.
128
00:07:32,995 --> 00:07:34,913
Did you study this by yourself?
129
00:07:34,997 --> 00:07:37,833
[giggles]
Nope! Muya from next door told me.
130
00:07:38,459 --> 00:07:40,794
I did know three but I forgot.
131
00:07:40,878 --> 00:07:42,546
Let's see…
132
00:07:43,547 --> 00:07:45,257
Thermal Arts, Craft Arts,
133
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:47,301
Force Arts, and Life Arts.
134
00:07:47,384 --> 00:07:48,719
These are the four systems.
135
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:49,970
Huh?
[soft chuckle]
136
00:07:50,054 --> 00:07:51,180

[Elea] You understand Thermal Arts,
don't you?
141
00:07:59,271 --> 00:08:03,400
It's the thing your mother
uses all the time in the kitchen.
142
00:08:03,484 --> 00:08:04,651
[Yawika] I can use it too!
143
00:08:04,735 --> 00:08:05,736
[Elea] Oh!
144
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,616
Then next time I come,
I'll have you cook something for me.
145
00:08:10,699 --> 00:08:12,743
Yay! Just leave it to me.
146
00:08:13,577 --> 00:08:15,204
[Elea] Now, as for Force Arts…

00:08:15,287 --> 00:08:17,081

Oh, sorry about that!
152
00:08:24,129 --> 00:08:26,256
I'm not very good at Force Arts.
153
00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:28,467
Don't worry, I'm fine!
[giggles]
154
00:08:29,051 --> 00:08:30,511
But it worked, didn't it?
155
00:08:30,594 --> 00:08:32,763
Moving things, sending them flying.
156
00:08:33,347 --> 00:08:35,182
That's what Force Arts is all about.
157
00:08:35,516 --> 00:08:36,517
For example,
158
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,895
have you ever seen an arrow fired
from a bow change direction mid-flight?
159
00:08:39,978 --> 00:08:41,063
I have!
160
00:08:41,146 --> 00:08:42,481
I think…
161
00:08:42,564 --> 00:08:45,150
Once you master Force Arts,
162
00:08:45,234 --> 00:08:47,820
you can even fly in the sky,
163
00:08:47,903 --> 00:08:49,780
even if only for a brief moment.
164
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:51,198
That's amazing!
165
00:08:51,281 --> 00:08:53,450
Then what about Craft Arts?
166
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:55,953
Okay, please watch.
167
00:08:56,745 --> 00:08:58,247
From Elea to the waters of Eta.

Wow!
172
00:09:10,467 --> 00:09:11,468
Ice?
173
00:09:12,094 --> 00:09:15,013
[soft chuckle]
But is it really?
174
00:09:16,932 --> 00:09:18,100
[gasps]
175
00:09:18,767 --> 00:09:21,979
It's warm. So it's not ice. But how?
176
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:24,690
Craft Arts are used
to change the shape of things.
177
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:27,752
Just like how we give a tree a new shape
in the form of furniture,
178
00:09:27,776 --> 00:09:31,071
we can give shape to hot water like this.
179
00:09:31,155 --> 00:09:32,239
That's amazing!

00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,540
Just one left.
183
00:09:41,623 --> 00:09:42,749
Life Arts.
184
00:09:42,833 --> 00:09:45,502
To put it simply,
this is what doctors use.
185
00:09:46,128 --> 00:09:48,755
There are people who mend your wounds
or heal your colds, right?
186
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:50,757
Granny Micch does it for me.
187
00:09:51,383 --> 00:09:53,010
But recently,
188
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:54,386
I don't get hurt at all.
189
00:09:54,469 --> 00:09:55,470
[Elea] I see.
190
00:09:55,971 --> 00:10:00,475
But no matter how amazing Granny Micch is,
she wouldn't be able to heal my wounds.
191
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,102
The wounds of an outsider.
192
00:10:02,186 --> 00:10:04,021
Do you know why that is?
193
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:05,314
Um…
194
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:09,610
If you haven't spent a long time
together with a person,
195
00:10:09,693 --> 00:10:12,321
you won't understand
the words to convey with Word Arts.
196
00:10:12,863 --> 00:10:14,573
The same goes for the wind, water,
197
00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:16,533
trees and iron.
198
00:10:16,617 --> 00:10:18,702
Wouldn't it work between us?
199
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:19,786
[Elea] No.
200
00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:23,707
However, water is obedient,
different from living things.
201
00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:26,293
It's been just under six months
since I came here,
202
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:28,795
but even I can use Word Arts with it.
203
00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:32,049
Let me teach you something else
that Life Arts can be used for.
204
00:10:32,633 --> 00:10:34,259
From Elea to the waters of Eta.
205
00:10:34,343 --> 00:10:36,178
[echoing]
Hollow of the folding tree.
206
00:10:36,261 --> 00:10:38,222
Mound of dark sinews,
reflecting shell. Dissolve.
207
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:41,516
Give it a lick.
208
00:10:43,435 --> 00:10:45,145
[surprised grunt]
It's sweet!
209
00:10:45,229 --> 00:10:47,105
Unlike Craft Arts,
210
00:10:47,189 --> 00:10:49,524
which change the shape of things,
211
00:10:49,608 --> 00:10:52,152
Life Arts change the property of things.
212
00:10:52,236 --> 00:10:55,072
You can even change water to wine.
213
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,281
Really?
214
00:10:57,115 --> 00:10:59,952
When I asked Granny Micch
why she can heal wounds,
215
00:11:00,452 --> 00:11:02,287
she said, "I just can."
216
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:05,040
Elves are very good at Life Arts,
217
00:11:05,123 --> 00:11:06,917
so that would make sense.
218
00:11:07,334 --> 00:11:10,128
Life Arts are what I'm best at too.
219
00:11:10,212 --> 00:11:11,296
Really!
220
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,966
Then heal me if I ever get injured.
221
00:11:14,049 --> 00:11:15,300
Of course.
222
00:11:15,384 --> 00:11:18,053
Yay!
[laughs]
223
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:19,846
[Elea] But…
224
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:24,559
my true talent lies in something else…
225
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:29,356
[ominous ringing]
226
00:11:31,566 --> 00:11:33,694
That's the end of this lesson.
227
00:11:34,486 --> 00:11:36,196
Let's pick up where we finished
228
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,448
- when I come back here.
- Okay!
229
00:11:39,074 --> 00:11:40,367
Can I tell you something?
230
00:11:40,450 --> 00:11:42,119
Of course, what is it?
231
00:11:43,412 --> 00:11:44,454
- [giggles]
- [Elea gasps]
232
00:11:44,538 --> 00:11:45,706
- [Elea] Hey!
- [giggles]
233
00:11:45,789 --> 00:11:46,915
[Yawika] I love you!
234
00:11:47,833 --> 00:11:49,668
Even if you go back to Aureatia.
235
00:11:49,751 --> 00:11:50,752
[soft gasp]
236
00:11:50,836 --> 00:11:54,548
Yes, and I love you too, Yawika.
237
00:11:54,631 --> 00:11:57,968
You have such big boobs too!
[giggling]
238
00:11:58,051 --> 00:12:00,679
That has nothing to do with anything.
239
00:12:00,762 --> 00:12:01,847
[laughing]
240
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,100
What are you like?
241
00:12:05,684 --> 00:12:07,978
[Elea] If only for a little while,
242
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:11,356
I was able to forget
the reason why I came to this village.
243
00:12:12,190 --> 00:12:14,067
I can never tell Yawika
244
00:12:14,151 --> 00:12:15,527
the true reason.
245
00:12:16,611 --> 00:12:20,532
Ishura
This World Has No Common Language
246
00:12:20,615 --> 00:12:23,035
[water lapping]
247
00:12:23,702 --> 00:12:24,745
[sighs]
248
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:31,168
[child] Who knew
that minians took such long baths?
249
00:12:32,627 --> 00:12:33,712
[Elea] Kia?
250
00:12:33,795 --> 00:12:37,090
And to think you made Yawika
stay in the bath with you the whole time.
251
00:12:37,174 --> 00:12:38,550
Professor Viper.
252
00:12:38,633 --> 00:12:42,387
You mustn't call people such things, Kia.
253
00:12:42,471 --> 00:12:43,680
[Kia] But it's true.
254
00:12:43,764 --> 00:12:45,557
You're a slob at home,
255
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,309
but outside, you act all sophisticated.
256
00:12:47,392 --> 00:12:48,393
[sighs]
257
00:12:48,894 --> 00:12:50,187
Never mind that.
258
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:52,314
What are you doing up there?
259
00:12:52,397 --> 00:12:55,734
I was going to take a bath
once you got out.
260
00:12:55,817 --> 00:12:57,319
But you took forever.
261
00:12:57,402 --> 00:12:58,403
[soft grunt]
262
00:12:58,820 --> 00:13:01,114
Using Word Arts to peep
isn't very nice either.
263
00:13:01,198 --> 00:13:04,242
[gasps]
Who do you think I am? That's obscene.
264
00:13:04,326 --> 00:13:05,452
I can relax up here
265
00:13:05,535 --> 00:13:07,335
because there aren't as many bugs,
that's all.
266
00:13:07,913 --> 00:13:10,499
[Elea]
Were you hoping to take my lesson too?
267
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:13,377
[Kia] No! I hate studying.
268
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:15,087
Yawika is the weird one.
269
00:13:15,170 --> 00:13:16,588
[soft chuckle]
270
00:13:16,671 --> 00:13:17,672
[sighs]
271
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:20,467
Drop me off next to the professor.
272
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:22,469
[creaking]
273
00:13:22,552 --> 00:13:25,472
[♪ mystical music playing]
274
00:13:29,684 --> 00:13:30,685
Now go back.
275
00:13:37,401 --> 00:13:38,568
You can have this back.
276
00:13:39,403 --> 00:13:40,487
[Kia] Thanks.
277
00:13:41,405 --> 00:13:42,823
[squelches]
278
00:13:43,532 --> 00:13:46,910
[Elea] Words Arts require both
an understanding of the target object
279
00:13:47,369 --> 00:13:49,538
and a special incantation
280
00:13:49,621 --> 00:13:52,082
to weave words
into the soul of the object.
281
00:13:52,165 --> 00:13:53,166
However,
282
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:55,127
an exception to these rules exists.
283
00:13:55,210 --> 00:13:56,503
Just one exception.
284
00:13:56,586 --> 00:14:00,674
Kia's Word Arts alone,
defy every fundamental rule.
285
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:02,717
- [Elea] Kia?
- Hmm?
286
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:06,680
You mustn't use Word Arts
for every little whim you have.
287
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:07,973
Your power…
288
00:14:08,056 --> 00:14:11,852
Is a talent
for bringing happiness to others, right?
289
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:15,021
You're always saying that.
290
00:14:15,105 --> 00:14:17,649
Your power is special.
291
00:14:18,316 --> 00:14:20,986
So it would be boring
if you just used it in a normal way.
292
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:22,279
[Kia] Hmph.
293
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:26,283
As long as I enjoy my life,
then normal is fine by me.
294
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:29,161
What's normal here
isn't normal outside of Eta.
295
00:14:29,744 --> 00:14:32,539
[Elea] You'll be enrolling
in a school in Aureatia straight away.
296
00:14:33,081 --> 00:14:36,168
But aren't we about to set off for Lithia,
not Aureatia?
297
00:14:36,251 --> 00:14:38,420
The same goes for Lithia.
298
00:14:38,503 --> 00:14:39,838
Not only are there elves,
299
00:14:39,921 --> 00:14:42,132
there are even dwarves
and leprechauns there.
300
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:44,092
What! There are races like that there?
301
00:14:44,176 --> 00:14:45,177
Yes.
302
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:48,680
So you must think about
how other people perceive you.
303
00:14:49,264 --> 00:14:51,349
People might talk badly of you.
304
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:52,601
[chuckles]
305
00:14:52,684 --> 00:14:55,061
I wouldn't care at all!
306
00:14:55,145 --> 00:14:56,396
I could deal with them.
307
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,356
All I'd have to do is say the word "die."
308
00:14:59,357 --> 00:15:00,650
[chuckles]
And they'd all die!
309
00:15:01,193 --> 00:15:02,861
[birds chirping]
310
00:15:06,448 --> 00:15:07,449

Ms. Elea.

00:15:15,665 --> 00:15:17,667
- H-Hello.
- [♪ light music playing]
316
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:20,670
Oh. Good morning, Yawika.
317
00:15:20,754 --> 00:15:21,755
You too, Thien.
318
00:15:21,838 --> 00:15:24,132
Since you're both leaving today,
319
00:15:24,216 --> 00:15:26,676
Thien said
he wanted to come and say bye too.
320
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,638
W-Well, I just…
321
00:15:29,721 --> 00:15:31,223
Is that true?
322
00:15:31,306 --> 00:15:34,226
I'm very happy you came too, Thien.
323
00:15:34,309 --> 00:15:35,519
[Thien] Y-Yes…
324
00:15:36,102 --> 00:15:37,145
M-Ms.
325
00:15:37,229 --> 00:15:40,232
I know Kia acts this way,
but all the kids,
326
00:15:40,315 --> 00:15:41,650
and the adults of the village,
327
00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:44,277
are all… grateful to you.
328
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:45,904
Me too.
329
00:15:45,987 --> 00:15:48,156
I'm hugely grateful.
330
00:15:48,740 --> 00:15:50,033
[Thien] Thanks to you,
331
00:15:50,116 --> 00:15:52,160
we're all smarter now.
332
00:15:52,244 --> 00:15:53,328
It's true.
333
00:15:53,787 --> 00:15:55,288
If that's true,
334
00:15:55,372 --> 00:15:57,916
then I'm incredibly happy.
335
00:15:57,999 --> 00:16:01,419
- Oh.
- [Elea] I'm sure I told you once in class.
336
00:16:01,503 --> 00:16:03,922
Knowledge is like a seed.
337
00:16:04,005 --> 00:16:06,341
So long as you water it with learning,
338
00:16:06,424 --> 00:16:07,926
it will grow all by itself.
339
00:16:08,009 --> 00:16:09,010
[Elea] Mm.
340
00:16:09,094 --> 00:16:10,929
The person who first planted that seed,
341
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:13,056
is you, Ms. Elea.
342
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:15,767
And yet I can't offer anything in return.
343
00:16:19,521 --> 00:16:21,189
- [surprised grunt]
- [Elea] Come now.
344
00:16:21,773 --> 00:16:25,860
Finding such cute students as yourselves
is all I could ever ask for.
345
00:16:25,944 --> 00:16:27,571
Isn't that right, Yawika?
346
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:28,697
[Yawika] Right!
347
00:16:29,239 --> 00:16:30,824
I love you!

00:16:30,907 --> 00:16:31,908
[irritated sigh]
349
00:16:31,992 --> 00:16:33,827
Such a barefaced lie.
350
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:36,204
This is what you call being a bad adult.
351
00:16:36,288 --> 00:16:39,541
K-Kia, you just don't want to go
and study in Aureatia.
352

[Kia]
Kids who like studying are the weird ones.

Oh, Kia.
354
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:46,339
[Elea] Why don't you be honest
with yourself for once?

[♪ pensive music playing]

00:16:55,265 --> 00:16:56,808
[Elea] I assumed a false identity
359
00:16:56,891 --> 00:16:59,603
and secured a study abroad program
in Aureatia for Kia.
360
00:17:00,061 --> 00:17:02,480
That was all for a single purpose.
361
00:17:02,564 --> 00:17:05,817
[crowd cheering]
362
00:17:06,401 --> 00:17:08,820
The Imperial Competition
to determine the Hero.
363
00:17:09,404 --> 00:17:11,823
Kia is capable of beating any opponent.
364
00:17:12,449 --> 00:17:15,201
She could even face off
against Aureatia itself.
365
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:17,037
If she wins,
366
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,872
then even I, the child of a concubine,
367
00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:21,458
will no longer be looked down upon
by anyone.
368
00:17:22,042 --> 00:17:24,169
Kia! Let's go to our favorite place.
369
00:17:24,252 --> 00:17:25,629
I won't see you for a while.
370
00:17:25,712 --> 00:17:27,922
What? Why do we have to go to that place?
371
00:17:28,006 --> 00:17:29,924
What place might that be?
372
00:17:30,008 --> 00:17:32,260
Is it a favorite place of yours, Kia?
373
00:17:32,344 --> 00:17:35,055
No, it's not, Yawika likes it.
374
00:17:35,138 --> 00:17:36,806
I just went with her, that's all.
375
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:38,683
Take me there!
376
00:17:38,767 --> 00:17:40,393
Okay, fine.
377
00:17:40,477 --> 00:17:43,396
[Kia] You don't need to come,
Professor Viper.
378
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,273
It's not that great of a place.
379
00:17:45,357 --> 00:17:46,399
[Yawika giggles]
380
00:17:46,483 --> 00:17:48,151
Uh… Wait!
381
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:49,361
That's fine.
382
00:17:49,444 --> 00:17:52,364
- Or maybe I will tag along!
- [Kia yelps]
383
00:17:52,947 --> 00:17:54,842
[in annoyed voice]
You really don't need to come!
384
00:17:54,866 --> 00:17:55,867
[laughs]
385
00:17:58,703 --> 00:18:01,623

[rustling]
387
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:08,546
I never knew that hill had
a hidden path in the bushes.
388
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:09,631
Right!
389
00:18:10,173 --> 00:18:13,551
It leads to a place where you can see
the tip of the village watchtower.
390
00:18:15,345 --> 00:18:18,890
Wild boars or deer might use this path.
391
00:18:19,516 --> 00:18:21,184
Wild boars are no problem.
392
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:23,144
I can get rid of them with my Force Arts.
393
00:18:23,228 --> 00:18:25,021
You're amazing, Thien!
394
00:18:25,105 --> 00:18:28,650
I could hook the whole pack
on the top of a big tree.
395
00:18:28,733 --> 00:18:30,193
[Yawika] You're amazing too, Kia!
396
00:18:30,276 --> 00:18:33,655
Don't leave your professor behind!
397
00:18:35,782 --> 00:18:37,662
[Elea]
An adult minia can advance in single file
398
00:18:37,742 --> 00:18:39,327
without any real problems.
399
00:18:39,994 --> 00:18:42,414
This direction should bring us out
at the Fourth Mountain.
400
00:18:42,956 --> 00:18:44,624
[♪ uneasy music playing]
401
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:46,209
At the harvest festival,
402
00:18:46,543 --> 00:18:48,962
I recorded
the defensive measures that were taken,
403
00:18:49,587 --> 00:18:53,508
while being mesmerized
by the fervor and beauty of it all.
404
00:18:54,175 --> 00:18:57,220
While teaching the uses of forest plants,
405
00:18:57,804 --> 00:19:01,433
I sent detailed records of certain
medicinal herbs to Aureatia by bird.
406
00:19:01,933 --> 00:19:05,895
I investigated this secluded region
where dense fog hinders human passage.
407
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:08,106
Eventually, the army of Aureatia
408
00:19:08,189 --> 00:19:10,859
will probably take everything
from this village.
409
00:19:12,068 --> 00:19:15,071
A rumor from the era
of the True Demon King talks of a village,
410
00:19:15,155 --> 00:19:18,241
where a certain individual
has almighty Word Arts.
411
00:19:18,324 --> 00:19:20,764
I found the village's location
from a captured Lithia soldier.
412
00:19:21,202 --> 00:19:23,621
That soldier is no longer in this world.
413
00:19:24,873 --> 00:19:25,874
All that's left,
414
00:19:25,957 --> 00:19:28,752
is to deal with anyone
who knows about my relationship
415
00:19:28,835 --> 00:19:30,170
with the World Word.
416
00:19:30,253 --> 00:19:32,005
Look, we're here.
417
00:19:32,088 --> 00:19:33,506
That was tiring, huh?
418
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:35,133
[Yawika] Are you tired too, Ms. Elea?
419
00:19:35,216 --> 00:19:36,968
Oh, yes.
420
00:19:37,051 --> 00:19:38,511
Is this really the place?
421
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:40,513
[wind howling]
422
00:19:40,597 --> 00:19:43,725
See? It's nothing special.
423
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:46,311
This is why I told you not to come.
424
00:19:48,897 --> 00:19:50,523
[Thien] It's because of the clouds.
425
00:19:50,607 --> 00:19:52,567
Kia, why don't you just clear them away?
426
00:19:52,984 --> 00:19:54,611
[chuckles]
Good idea!
427
00:19:54,694 --> 00:19:56,196
I'm glad we have Kia here.
428
00:19:57,197 --> 00:19:58,198
[sighs]
429
00:19:58,281 --> 00:19:59,866
Clear them away?
430
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:01,159
How would that work?
431
00:20:01,242 --> 00:20:02,702
- [Kia] Stop already.
- Hmm?
432
00:20:02,786 --> 00:20:05,538
You both make it sound so easy.
433
00:20:05,622 --> 00:20:06,706
Still,
434
00:20:06,790 --> 00:20:10,126
I wouldn't want this to be
my last memory of this village.
435
00:20:10,919 --> 00:20:14,130
It's not like I'm doing this
just to prove I can.
436
00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:16,090
Hmm?
437
00:20:17,342 --> 00:20:18,343
Clear away.
438
00:20:22,931 --> 00:20:23,973

[Elea] She's invincible.
443
00:20:55,505 --> 00:20:57,507
This power makes her invincible.
444
00:20:57,924 --> 00:21:00,385
No matter who stands in her way,
445
00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:01,928
Kia will win.
446
00:21:02,011 --> 00:21:06,057
See? The view isn't that great.

Is something wrong?

Ms.?
452
00:21:15,984 --> 00:21:17,360
[Yawika] Are you crying?
453
00:21:18,236 --> 00:21:19,487
I'm not crying.
454
00:21:19,988 --> 00:21:21,322
I'm not.
455
00:21:21,948 --> 00:21:23,283
I'm not crying.
456
00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:30,915
[narrator] She is the one
who ignores all laws of nature,
457
00:21:30,999 --> 00:21:34,961
possessing the power
to warp anything in existence.
458
00:21:35,545 --> 00:21:39,549
The one who surpasses all nature,
459
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:42,343
dominating the entire world
with a single word.
460
00:21:42,927 --> 00:21:46,556
The one who rejects all analyses
461
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:50,476
and predictions,
a singularity beyond all else.
462
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:52,478
At present,

00:21:52,562 --> 00:21:55,148
the limits of this almighty savant
464
00:21:55,231 --> 00:21:57,650
are yet to be measured.
465
00:22:03,156 --> 00:22:06,826
She is a Wizard. She is an elf.
She is Kia the World Word.
