1. The Easton Magic Academy.
Copy !req
2. A historic and prestigious school
that has produced
Copy !req
3. numerous pillars of the magic realm.
Copy !req
4. Of course, its entrance examination
is notoriously difficult.
Copy !req
5. Not even 3% of the applicants
will be admitted.
Copy !req
6. Only those with superior magical powers
will be able to open the gates of Easton.
Copy !req
7. Only those
with superior magical powers...
Copy !req
8. Let's see,
among this year's applicants are...
Copy !req
9. CLAUDE LUCCI
Copy !req
10. A scion of established nobility, and then
the undersecretary's son from the Bureau of Magic.
Copy !req
11. All the bigwigs of society, so to speak.
Copy !req
12. Maintenance of wands
and reviewing of grimoires.
Copy !req
13. They're devoting themselves to the exam.
Copy !req
14. It's only proper to have ambitious candidates
for a school as prestigious as ours.
Copy !req
15. HMPH CLANG CLANG HMPH
Copy !req
16. HMPH CLANG CLANG HMPH
Copy !req
17. HMPH CLANG CLANG HMPH
Copy !req
18. HMPH CLANG CLANG HMPH
Copy !req
19. WHAT
Copy !req
20. What the...
Copy !req
21. THE
Copy !req
22. Huh? What's going on?
Copy !req
23. We're starting an entrance exam
for a magic school now.
Copy !req
24. Why is someone pumping iron?
Copy !req
25. No, calm down.
Maybe I'm imagining things.
Copy !req
26. This is a magic school.
Slackers like that would never be here.
Copy !req
27. He's doing the invisible chair
while reading a fitness book!
Copy !req
28. BAM
Copy !req
29. Does he even want to pass this exam?
At least read some books about magic!
Copy !req
30. Consumption of protein within 45 minutes
of training is the most basic of fundamentals.
Copy !req
31. And he's talking to himself!
Copy !req
32. And who are those guys behind him?
They're anything but inconspicuous!
Copy !req
33. Are you sure this will work?
Copy !req
34. WHISPER WHISPER
Copy !req
35. Mash can't use magic.
Copy !req
36. You don't trust me and my plans?
Copy !req
37. I made his scar
indistinguishable from a real one.
Copy !req
38. I'm sure we'll get a kick outta this.
Copy !req
39. Oh, well.
Copy !req
40. Slackers like that
will fail the exam anyway.
Copy !req
41. NOM NOM
Copy !req
42. I wonder what the exam is like.
Copy !req
43. I have to pass it, no matter
what it turns out to be.
Copy !req
44. Greetings!
Copy !req
45. Welcome to Easton Magic Academy.
Copy !req
46. I am overseeing today's entrance examination.
My name is Claude Lucci.
Copy !req
47. The pleasure's all mine.
Copy !req
48. C-Claude Lucci!
Copy !req
49. This year's seventh
best up-and-coming mage!
Copy !req
50. He's said to have mastered countless
advanced spells despite his youth!
Copy !req
51. How exhilarating.
Copy !req
52. Praise and worship me even more!
Copy !req
53. It must've been hot
coming out of the fire like that.
Copy !req
54. I'm definitely going to flunk him!
Copy !req
55. Now, let's start our first exam.
Copy !req
56. Take your seats.
Copy !req
57. Seats?
Copy !req
58. There are no seats!
Copy !req
59. What?
Copy !req
60. - Desks just appeared!
- Amazing!
Copy !req
61. - Wh-Whoa!
- I've never seen magic like this!
Copy !req
62. No wonder they have
high hopes for this professor!
Copy !req
63. You could've just taken us to a room
that was already set up.
Copy !req
64. I'll kill him.
Copy !req
65. No matter.
Copy !req
66. The acceptance rate
of this exam is three percent.
Copy !req
67. There's no way
slackers like him will pass.
Copy !req
68. You have 30 minutes!
Copy !req
69. Now, begin!
Copy !req
70. The test paper...
Copy !req
71. The questions are squirming around?
Copy !req
72. That's right, I have enchanted
the test papers with my magic.
Copy !req
73. Thus, to pass this exam you need to dispel
the magic and properly line up the questions.
Copy !req
74. He'll never pull this off.
Copy !req
75. Why'd I think
this would work the other day?
Copy !req
76. WRIGGLE WRIGGLE
Copy !req
77. Could you kindly stop moving?
Copy !req
78. WRIGGLE WRIGGLE
Copy !req
79. Kindly... stop moving.
Copy !req
80. What?
Copy !req
81. I finished.
Copy !req
82. That guy from earlier...
Copy !req
83. I'm sure it's just
some random scribbles...
Copy !req
84. It's aligned so perfectly.
Copy !req
85. He's making that boulder float so easily!
Copy !req
86. Whoa! He's running on water!
Copy !req
87. From that point on, Mash...
Copy !req
88. somehow found ways
to pass the tests.
Copy !req
89. How can a slacker like that
still be here?
Copy !req
90. That tasteless brat
who makes a mockery of me...
Copy !req
91. NOM NOM
Copy !req
92. Then I guess I must...
Copy !req
93. This is the next test!
Copy !req
94. Hey, the ground again is...
Copy !req
95. In the next test, you will solve this maze.
Copy !req
96. Of course, this is no ordinary maze.
Copy !req
97. There are various traps set within.
Copy !req
98. You have 30 minutes!
Copy !req
99. Reach the goal by the time limit,
and you pass!
Copy !req
100. Now, begin!
Copy !req
101. So I have to get to the goal area?
Copy !req
102. Sounds pretty easy.
Copy !req
103. Excuse me!
Copy !req
104. Can I tag along with you?
Copy !req
105. LEMON IRVINE
Copy !req
106. Why?
Copy !req
107. Huh? Um...
Copy !req
108. I think it'd be more efficient
if we worked together.
Copy !req
109. Makes sense.
Copy !req
110. Th-Thank you very much!
Copy !req
111. I wonder what kind of traps
will be waiting for us?
Copy !req
112. TP TP TP
Copy !req
113. CLINK
Copy !req
114. FACEPLANT
Copy !req
115. It hurts!
Copy !req
116. IMPS HAVE APPEARED!
Copy !req
117. GATHER GATHER
Copy !req
118. This maze has imps!
Copy !req
119. Please save me!
Copy !req
120. HANDLIKE-SOMETHINGS HAVE APPEARED!
Copy !req
121. Th-This ground is trying to grab us!
Copy !req
122. Don't leave me behind!
Copy !req
123. Please wait.
Copy !req
124. Please don't leave me behind!
Copy !req
125. What was that about efficiency?
Copy !req
126. We have to hurry.
Copy !req
127. Levios Cuffus!
Copy !req
128. What are these?
Copy !req
129. I'm sorry I deceived you
this whole time.
Copy !req
130. There's a certain reason
I have to keep you away from the goal.
Copy !req
131. What reason?
Copy !req
132. I-I don't want to tell you,
that's why it's a certain reason!
Copy !req
133. So I've been deceived?
Copy !req
134. That's useless.
Human strength can't break...
Copy !req
135. I'm sorry...
Copy !req
136. but I have my own certain reason, too.
Copy !req
137. Later.
Copy !req
138. STARE...
Copy !req
139. Th-This is bad!
I have to chase and stop him.
Copy !req
140. Four legs in the morning.
Copy !req
141. Two legs in the afternoon,
and three legs at night.
Copy !req
142. What is this creature?
Copy !req
143. This is totally
one of the dangerous ones.
Copy !req
144. It's only a test.
I'll use my magic and...
Copy !req
145. Answer my riddle.
Copy !req
146. Oh no. My knees gave out.
Copy !req
147. Bad, really bad. This is a riddle?
Copy !req
148. What's the answer?
Copy !req
149. Four legs in the morning,
two at noon, three at night...
Copy !req
150. Oh, this sucks. I'm panicking
and I can't think straight!
Copy !req
151. Time's up. Thou shalt be punished.
Copy !req
152. Help...
Copy !req
153. That's not right.
Copy !req
154. This truly is punishment
for selfishly deceiving others.
Copy !req
155. I'm so terrible.
Copy !req
156. I'm sorry, Mushroom Head.
Copy !req
157. Such a creature...
Copy !req
158. can't possibly exist.
Copy !req
159. Wh-Why did you bother
to come back and save me?
Copy !req
160. Well...
Copy !req
161. If your reason was similar to mine,
I'd kinda feel sorry for you.
Copy !req
162. But it looks like
we won't make it in time from here.
Copy !req
163. How do you think
I came here in an instant?
Copy !req
164. Time is almost up.
Copy !req
165. Multiple traps
and the guardian of the labyrinth...
Copy !req
166. And the student I recruited to stop him.
Copy !req
167. Since I put in this much effort,
I'm sure he...
Copy !req
168. Hey, what's with that loud noise?
Copy !req
169. Sounds like something is breaking!
Copy !req
170. Th-There's no way.
Copy !req
171. These walls are one meter thick
and are impervious to all magic.
Copy !req
172. The walls!
Copy !req
173. H-He trudged straight outta there!
Copy !req
174. Quite a curious young man.
Copy !req
175. Is that allowed?
Can he really do that?
Copy !req
176. There's no way he can!
Copy !req
177. That's cheating!
Copy !req
178. Gimme a break!
Copy !req
179. Go home! Go home! Go home!
Copy !req
180. SLUMP
Copy !req
181. I want to go home.
Copy !req
182. That's absurd.
It's no longer a labyrinth!
Copy !req
183. Indeed.
Copy !req
184. You're supposed to get lost
in a maze before exiting!
Copy !req
185. Good point.
Copy !req
186. What is a maze for you?
Copy !req
187. Philosophy.
Copy !req
188. Go home! Go home! Go home!
Copy !req
189. P-Please stop! It wasn't his fault!
Copy !req
190. Stop it!
Copy !req
191. If you say anything, you'll regret it!
Copy !req
192. I can still reconsider that promise for now.
Copy !req
193. - I was...
- Hey!
Copy !req
194. I was intentionally getting in his way
so he wouldn't reach the goal.
Copy !req
195. Professor Lucci asked me to.
Copy !req
196. He told me he would pass me
if I got in his way.
Copy !req
197. My family is poor, and I desperately
wanted to be accepted for their sake.
Copy !req
198. But he still saved me,
and then said to me,
Copy !req
199. BLUSH
Copy !req
200. "Please marry me"!
Copy !req
201. No, I didn't say that.
Copy !req
202. I mean...
Copy !req
203. If you're injured, I can piggyback you.
Copy !req
204. Huh? Wait, that means...
Copy !req
205. I'm a burden, you know?
Copy !req
206. BURDEN
Copy !req
207. I don't really mind burdens at all.
Copy !req
208. BURDEN
Copy !req
209. AWWWW
Copy !req
210. Don't be so bashful.
Copy !req
211. FLUSTER FLUSTER
Copy !req
212. I know how you really feel.
Copy !req
213. It was really great. Yeah.
Copy !req
214. No, I totally didn't say that.
Copy !req
215. That's right. What about it?
Copy !req
216. I'm the examiner.
Copy !req
217. What's bad about trying
to fail students I don't like?
Copy !req
218. A cheeky brat and a pauper girl.
Copy !req
219. I reached out thinking even scum can be
useful, but you bit the hand that fed you.
Copy !req
220. Is your stupidity
inherited from your parents?
Copy !req
221. No wonder you have a miserable life.
Copy !req
222. I'm failing you both.
Copy !req
223. If you want to complain,
then challenge the decision.
Copy !req
224. Challenge me,
a Magus Cum Laude Professor!
Copy !req
225. Of course, that's only if you dare!
Copy !req
226. That's going too far, Professor.
Copy !req
227. What?
Copy !req
228. Wow. He broke that wand.
Copy !req
229. That's just the type of kid he is, huh?
Copy !req
230. I kinda feel sorry for him.
Copy !req
231. Shut up! Why would I even—
Copy !req
232. Silence!
Copy !req
233. Headmaster Wahlberg.
Copy !req
234. We will now begin the final interviews.
Copy !req
235. From this point on,
I will take charge of the examination.
Copy !req
236. Headmaster, why are you here?
Copy !req
237. Lucci.
Copy !req
238. See me in my office after this.
Copy !req
239. A-As you wish.
Copy !req
240. Now, let's start with our first applicant.
Copy !req
241. We will now begin the final interview
for Mash Burnedead.
Copy !req
242. Thank you for having me.
Copy !req
243. First, let's hear
why you chose our academy.
Copy !req
244. To live in peace with my family.
Copy !req
245. That's not an answer.
Copy !req
246. What does that mean?
Copy !req
247. It's fine.
Copy !req
248. Next question.
Copy !req
249. Is it true that you saved a girl in the maze test,
although you didn't have time to?
Copy !req
250. I guess so.
Copy !req
251. What made you do so,
even by risking to fail the test?
Copy !req
252. I kinda felt like I would regret it.
Copy !req
253. You seem to be the type
who acts before thinking.
Copy !req
254. You never considered
that the sphinx might be stronger,
Copy !req
255. or that you may not be able
to break the walls?
Copy !req
256. Well, even if I considered,
it still had to be done.
Copy !req
257. Extremely amusing.
Copy !req
258. But you can only say that because
you don't understand the ways of the world yet.
Copy !req
259. Many creatures that are stronger
than you exist in this world.
Copy !req
260. If you were to face something
that overwhelmingly outpowers you,
Copy !req
261. would you still be able
to take the same course of action?
Copy !req
262. Even if you were...
Copy !req
263. facing me?
Copy !req
264. What immense magical power.
Copy !req
265. And this spell!
Copy !req
266. What is this?
Copy !req
267. This is an ancient spell that transfers the soul
of the target's most cherished one into a doll.
Copy !req
268. SLUMP
Copy !req
269. Gramps?
Copy !req
270. What's wrong? Gramps! Hey!
Copy !req
271. Of course, that's not all.
Copy !req
272. If I were to stab a knife
into the soulful doll...
Copy !req
273. that being would never return.
Copy !req
274. Didn't I already tell you?
Copy !req
275. I am immensely more powerful than you.
Copy !req
276. You can't do anything in your current state.
Copy !req
277. And in a situation like this,
what would you...
Copy !req
278. You can't keep something
this huge out forever.
Copy !req
279. This is an endurance contest, right?
Copy !req
280. Power can be used to harm or to help.
Copy !req
281. It all depends
on the wielder of that power.
Copy !req
282. That is the reason why I put emphasis...
Copy !req
283. on protecting the weak,
and regulating the strong.
Copy !req
284. Noblesse Oblige.
One's capacity as a powerful being.
Copy !req
285. And according to my observations,
you are a human who possesses that capacity.
Copy !req
286. My apologies.
Copy !req
287. I was literally testing you.
Copy !req
288. I had no intention of that nature.
Copy !req
289. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
290. What is it?
Copy !req
291. What you asked earlier, Headmaster.
Copy !req
292. The answer to the question
"If I had to face the Headmaster..."
Copy !req
293. If it comes to that,
I'd knock the stuffing out of you...
Copy !req
294. with my fist.
Copy !req
295. What insolence!
Copy !req
296. Are you insane?
Copy !req
297. Welcome to Easton Magic Academy.
Copy !req
298. Are you okay, old man?
Copy !req
299. Be gentle with me.
Copy !req
300. And so, a lot of things happened.
Copy !req
301. But Mash Burnedead passed the entrance exam
for Easton Magic Academy.
Copy !req
302. Today, we will be learning one of the most
basic of spells, the lock-opening spell.
Copy !req
303. You must imagine opening the lock
as you infuse it with magic energy.
Copy !req
304. Opti Ars.
Copy !req
305. Now, let's actually try it.
Copy !req
306. Professor. I opened it.
Copy !req
307. Why you little, that's not...
That's not it at all, damn it!
Copy !req
308. This is a magic school, you know?
Copy !req
309. A place where you learn magic!
Copy !req
310. Well, I...
Copy !req
311. I'm not good with magic and the like.
Copy !req
312. Why are you even here?
Copy !req
313. Looks like I have a hard path ahead.
Copy !req
314. Why are you sounding like
it's not your business?
Copy !req
315. What kind of nerves do you have?
Copy !req
316. What's with this year's transfers?
Copy !req
317. There's someone who's clearly bad news!
Copy !req
318. God is dead.
Copy !req
319. Where the hell did that come from?
Seriously creepy!
Copy !req
320. I definitely don't want to be around him.
Copy !req
321. Where are you looking at now?
Copy !req
322. Listen! Listen to what others have to say!
Copy !req
323. Since this is a boarding school...
Copy !req
324. I really don't want to be roommates
with people like that.
Copy !req
325. Let's see, my room...
Copy !req
326. Huh, wait...
Copy !req
327. The door...
Copy !req
328. I'm Finn Ames.
Nice to be rooming with you.
Copy !req
329. FINN AMES
Copy !req
330. I'm Mash Burnedead.
Copy !req
331. I don't really know a lot, so I might
cause trouble, but it's nice to room with you.
Copy !req
332. Huh? He's surprisingly normal?
Copy !req
333. And this is Kevin.
Copy !req
334. This one's Mike.
Copy !req
335. This guy names his muscles! Freaky!
And when did he change clothes?
Copy !req
336. Down here are Tom and Kim.
Over here are Yamada, Koji, and Satomi.
Copy !req
337. W-Well, you can ask me
anything you don't know.
Copy !req
338. The dorm pairs up transfers and continuing
students together as roommates.
Copy !req
339. It's customary to help each other out.
Copy !req
340. I see.
Copy !req
341. Be nice for now.
Copy !req
342. Nice, and distant.
Copy !req
343. This is for a peaceful school life.
Copy !req
344. Can I ask you one thing?
Copy !req
345. Sure.
Copy !req
346. How do you get to be
the academy's "Divine Visionary"?
Copy !req
347. Oh, a Divine Visionary?
Copy !req
348. You have to collect gold coins.
Copy !req
349. Tests, coursework, extracurriculars, school life.
We're evaluated on everything.
Copy !req
350. Based on the evaluations, you're given
coins of gold, silver, or bronze.
Copy !req
351. Regardless of coins earned,
Copy !req
352. if you can't keep your grades up
each semester, you'll be expelled.
Copy !req
353. I had a vague feeling,
but this is really brutal.
Copy !req
354. Looks like he'll be expelled real quick.
Copy !req
355. So that's why we're all desperate.
Copy !req
356. Including me, of course.
Copy !req
357. Best of luck to you, too.
Copy !req
358. Finn made sure not to say,
"Let's do our best together."
Copy !req
359. You're a great guy.
Copy !req
360. And Mash was very simple.
Copy !req
361. You want a cream puff?
Copy !req
362. Huh? Where did you pull those out of?
Copy !req
363. I'll take one, though.
Copy !req
364. Will Mash with no magical powers
really be able to become the Divine Visionary?
Copy !req

MASH BURNEDEAD AND THE BALEFUL BULLY
