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