1. What's the point of having a stairway
when no one ever uses it?
Copy !req
2. It's been a long time since you
last came here to the seabed,
Copy !req
3. problem child of the Great Hall.
Copy !req
4. That was a long time ago, Alaira.
Copy !req
5. I wonder about that.
Copy !req
6. It sounds like you've been
stirring up trouble again.
Copy !req
7. I heard about your new apprentice.
Copy !req
8. Already? Word travels fast.
Copy !req
9. She might have the connection
you're looking for, right?
Copy !req
10. To the Brimmed Caps.
Copy !req
11. No one's used forbidden
magic in four years.
Copy !req
12. She's an important lead.
Copy !req
13. It's not about that.
Copy !req
14. And she hasn't taken her tests,
so she's not my official apprentice yet.
Copy !req
15. Oh, she hasn't?
Copy !req
16. It's too soon.
Copy !req
17. It's a bad time for it, too.
Copy !req
18. Oh, of course.
Copy !req
19. At this time of year, the Dadah Range,
where the test takes place...
Copy !req
20. They'll be at their highest elevation.
Copy !req
21. I wouldn't dream of putting
someone through that test now.
Copy !req
22. It could get them killed.
Copy !req
23. Hey, Agott.
Copy !req
24. Are you sure I should do this?
Master Qifrey isn't even here...
Copy !req
25. The Dadah Range Test
Copy !req
26. You'll be doing it alone
whenever you take it anyway.
Copy !req
27. B-But I only just got here!
Copy !req
28. I passed the test when I was ten.
Copy !req
29. We all have to pass it
to become apprentices,
Copy !req
30. so you're in the same boat we were.
Copy !req
31. I see...
Copy !req
32. The first test is "Consent of the Crown."
Copy !req
33. You can only take three contraptions
and your components.
Copy !req
34. You have to reach the summit of the
Dadah Range purely on your own power,
Copy !req
35. and pick the Diadem Herb
that grows there.
Copy !req
36. The Guidance Orb that points
the way to your destination,
Copy !req
37. and the Vapor Bubble for drinking water...
Copy !req
38. That's probably all you can use right now.
Copy !req
39. Go on, then.
Copy !req
40. Um... and...
Copy !req
41. Could I have the shoes?
Copy !req
42. Shoes?
Copy !req
43. Those shoes are contraptions too, right?
Copy !req
44. Yours and Master Qifrey's...
Copy !req
45. I saw the soles glow while
you were flying around.
Copy !req
46. So I thought... maybe...
Copy !req
47. you could lend me a pair?
Copy !req
48. That's too much, right?
Forget I said it!
Copy !req
49. For you to borrow.
Copy !req
50. So just...
Copy !req
51. Thank you!
Copy !req
52. Get going already!
Copy !req
53. I forgot to mention it, but you
only get to take this test once.
Copy !req
54. If you fail, you'll never be allowed
to be Master Qifrey's apprentice.
Copy !req
55. You'll have to leave the atelier, too.
Copy !req
56. I'm suddenly terrified...
Copy !req
57. But I've got to give it my best!
Copy !req
58. No turning back now!
Copy !req
59. How do I use the Guidance Orb, anyway?
Copy !req
60. Does it want me to go this way?
Copy !req
61. Okay!
Copy !req
62. I can handle a little mountain-climbing!
Copy !req
63. I can do it!
Copy !req
64. Agott said she passed when she was ten!
Copy !req
65. If she could do it at ten...
Copy !req
66. I can... also...
Copy !req
67. No way.
Copy !req
68. You mean...
Copy !req
69. That's the Dadah Range?
Copy !req
70. The Guidance Orb is pointing up.
Copy !req
71. It's up there, then.
Copy !req
72. I didn't realize they'd be floating.
Copy !req
73. Ta-da!
Copy !req
74. The shoes I borrowed from Agott!
Copy !req
75. Fly!
Copy !req
76. Huh?
Copy !req
77. The Casting Seal is split between
the right and left foot.
Copy !req
78. Make sure they're perfectly aligned...
Copy !req
79. Wow! I'm really floating!
Copy !req
80. Master Qifrey was right.
Copy !req
81. I'm like a newborn foal stumbling around.
Copy !req
82. But...
Copy !req
83. I flew.
Copy !req
84. Flying can take me to
the summit in no time!
Copy !req
85. All right...
Copy !req
86. I can do this!
Copy !req
87. You'll get used to it and be
running around freely in no time.
Copy !req
88. Get used to it. Get used to it.
Copy !req
89. Here's the application.
Please process it.
Copy !req
90. Right.
Copy !req
91. Thotrey. Number 12.
Copy !req
92. Right.
Copy !req
93. If you'd live in the Great Hall,
Copy !req
94. you wouldn't have to travel
so far for every little thing.
Copy !req
95. You could bring your apprentices, too.
Copy !req
96. Let's see... number 12, number 12...
Copy !req
97. Oh, here it is.
Copy !req
98. I don't see the box, sir!
Copy !req
99. There's one in the back, right?
Copy !req
100. There it is! Here we go!
Copy !req
101. The Great Hall is
the witches' stronghold.
Copy !req
102. It has everything we need.
Copy !req
103. Which is why I come here
when I need things.
Copy !req
104. Here you are.
Copy !req
105. Thank you.
Copy !req
106. Sir, is this for that Outsider—
Copy !req
107. Thotrey!
Copy !req
108. I'm sorry!
Copy !req
109. Your hatred of the Great
Hall runs deep, I see.
Copy !req
110. Keep an eye on those
apprentices of yours.
Copy !req
111. You never know what children that age
might get up to without adults around.
Copy !req
112. I think I'm keeping my balance
better than before!
Copy !req
113. Maybe now I can go a little higher...
Copy !req
114. A brushbuddy! I've never seen one before!
Copy !req
115. The shoes are caked with mud...
Copy !req
116. The Casting Seal came off?
Copy !req
117. No way! Because I wiped it?
Copy !req
118. Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
Copy !req
119. I know! I'll just draw it back on!
Copy !req
120. The Conjuring Ink spilled in my bag...
Copy !req
121. What do I do?
Copy !req
122. Is it all over?
Copy !req
123. Huh?
Copy !req
124. Hey, Agott. Have you seen Coco?
Copy !req
125. It's about time for dinner.
Copy !req
126. Coco's not here.
Copy !req
127. She went to the Dadah Range for her test.
Copy !req
128. What? By herself?
Copy !req
129. But she just got to the atelier!
Copy !req
130. Why didn't you stop her?
Copy !req
131. C'mon, Agott!
Copy !req
132. Most people take the test
before coming here, right?
Copy !req
133. Y-Yes, but...
Copy !req
134. If she can't pass a test that simple,
she shouldn't be an apprentice.
Copy !req
135. I hate people who can't do what I can.
Copy !req
136. I gain no benefit being around them.
Copy !req
137. Especially Outsiders.
Copy !req
138. Don't worry. She'll fail and
come back soon enough.
Copy !req
139. The Dadah Range is at its
highest this time of year.
Copy !req
140. She won't be able to fly that high
with just my Sylph Shoes.
Copy !req
141. She doesn't even know the rules
or realize how dangerous this is.
Copy !req
142. I don't want someone
like that in our world.
Copy !req
143. Tetia, are you not going to eat?
Copy !req
144. I am, but...
Copy !req
145. I feel kinda... down.
Copy !req
146. Going for more.
Copy !req
147. Am I seriously the only
one who's worried?
Copy !req
148. There's nothing to do but wait
for Master Qifrey regardless.
Copy !req
149. It's no use.
Copy !req
150. I tried drawing it back on
with what little ink I had left,
Copy !req
151. but I can't even float now.
Copy !req
152. The ink soaks in and dilutes
because they're still wet.
Copy !req
153. If I drew it directly on
the soles of my feet...
Copy !req
154. No! Magic drawn onto
the body is forbidden.
Copy !req
155. I don't know what kind of magic
I should use at a time like this.
Copy !req
156. I guess Agott was right.
Copy !req
157. Anyone can draw a spell, but that
doesn't mean they'll be good at it.
Copy !req
158. I guess you have to be a special
kind of person to be a witch after all.
Copy !req
159. They've all been drawing spells
since they were children.
Copy !req
160. It's not something I could ever...
Copy !req
161. Nice and straight.
Copy !req
162. I had no idea this village had
such a skilled craftsman.
Copy !req
163. This is real magic.
Copy !req
164. I have it...
Copy !req
165. I have my own magic!
Copy !req
166. If I let a little water
soak in and dilute it...
Copy !req
167. The mud's dried on my wet cape
and made it a little stiff.
Copy !req
168. I think I can draw on it like this.
Copy !req
169. It's natural to have unsteady hands
when you're learning to use a new tool.
Copy !req
170. Then I'll swap it for a tool I'm used to.
Copy !req
171. My fingers begin to dance
of their own accord.
Copy !req
172. Freely.
Copy !req
173. There!
Copy !req
174. Morning, brushbuddy!
Copy !req
175. You've made yourself
at home, haven't you?
Copy !req
176. It's a pretty ugly Casting Seal, isn't it?
Copy !req
177. To draw one properly,
the sigil needs to be centered,
Copy !req
178. and the signs are supposed to be uniform.
Copy !req
179. He taught me that if
the signs aren't balanced,
Copy !req
180. it can put too much energy
into one direction.
Copy !req
181. I wanted to see what would happen
if I made one long on purpose!
Copy !req
182. I'm not sure if it'll work, though.
Copy !req
183. You want to come, too?
Copy !req
184. Really? Hold on tight, then.
Copy !req
185. I'm closing the ring.
Copy !req
186. What? What's happening?
Copy !req
187. Did I get the sign's direction wrong?
Copy !req
188. I did it!
Copy !req
189. I'm flying with my own spell!
Copy !req
190. A real cloak of flight...
Copy !req
191. It's like a dream!
Copy !req
192. I never thought helping Mom
would help me learn magic...
Copy !req
193. But the Diadem Herb is higher than this!
Copy !req
194. The Diadem Herb!
Copy !req
195. Mom...
Copy !req
196. Wait for me, Mom!
Copy !req
197. I'll take responsibility
for what I've done!
Copy !req
198. So Coco went to the Dadah Range
to take the test for herself?
Copy !req
199. That's too dangerous!
I have to go save her!
Copy !req
200. But she'll fail if you interrupt her!
Copy !req
201. It was too soon for her
to take the test anyway.
Copy !req
202. She hasn't been living around magic
her whole life like we have.
Copy !req
203. If anything were to happen to Coco...
Copy !req
204. She wouldn't be the only loss suffered.
Copy !req
205. There.
Copy !req
206. Eh?
Copy !req
207. Coco!
Copy !req
208. Thank goodness!
Copy !req
209. Coco! You're safe!
Copy !req
210. I was so totally,
totally worried about you!
Copy !req
211. Agott!
Copy !req
212. I got the "Consent of the Crown."
Copy !req
213. This is the proof I need, right?
Copy !req
214. Coco.
Copy !req
215. It's extremely dangerous to cast spells
Copy !req
216. without the proper preparation
and fundamental knowledge.
Copy !req
217. I thought you'd learned that already.
Copy !req
218. You could easily have died back there.
Copy !req
219. Never do anything like that again.
Copy !req
220. I'm sorry, Master Qifrey.
Copy !req
221. Besides, you didn't need to put yourself
in danger to prove anything.
Copy !req
222. You're already my apprentice.
Copy !req
223. This is...
Copy !req
224. The proof that you're a witch.
Copy !req
225. It's both our pride
Copy !req
226. and a shackle that rests atop our head
so we don't abuse our magic.
Copy !req
227. As long as you wear it,
don't forget its weight.
Copy !req
228. The pointed cap is watching your magic.
Copy !req
229. Take good care of it.
Copy !req
230. Okay!
Copy !req
231. All right. Let's go back up.
Copy !req
232. Okay!
Copy !req
233. Guess we'd better eat first!
Copy !req
234. Take a bath, too.
Copy !req
235. The seed has sprouted.
