00:00:00I don't know.
00:00:56Water come forth.
00:01:10Don't worry, it isn't the afterlife.
00:01:17You are Ryo Mihara, yes?
00:01:20Uh-huh. What's going on?
00:01:22Perfect. What a relief. It's been far too long since I've had a visitor.
00:01:30I have bad news. Unfortunately, you passed away in an accident.
00:01:36Right. I remember that.
00:01:39So does that mean you're God?
00:01:41No, I'm not.
00:01:43To put things as simply as possible, I believe you'd classify me as something more akin to an angel than
00:01:49what you would call God.
00:01:50In that case, I suppose I'll call him Fake Michael for now.
00:01:56I get that I'm being reincarnated, but what am I supposed to do once I start my new life?
00:02:02By all means, live as you like.
00:02:04As I understand it, you're not being sent with any particular agenda in mind.
00:02:08There's no mission or quest that you need to complete.
00:02:11I can do whatever I want.
00:02:18Then I guess I'd prefer it if I had a slow and relaxing life.
00:02:25I'm sure you'll get used to it in no time, but the world you'll be reincarnating into is one full
00:02:30of magic.
00:02:31We've dubbed it Fi.
00:02:34In this world, roughly 20% of humans can cast spells.
00:02:39It's been decided that the elements you'll be most compatible with is water.
00:02:44Since you've requested to have a slow life, we'll have you reincarnate in the forest of Rondo.
00:02:51Don't worry.
00:02:53You'll find a house and two months' worth of food waiting for you there.
00:02:56An ice house for food storage?
00:02:58I bet this is powered by magic, too.
00:03:01By the way, monsters will avoid the immediate area around your house.
00:03:05You can think of it as a kind of barrier.
00:03:10A beginner's monster compendium.
00:03:12I've never seen the language before, but I can read it.
00:03:16Same for this flora compendium.
00:03:20Water, come forth.
00:03:25Aqua.
00:03:26H2O.
00:03:31As long as I imagine it, looks like I don't need to vocalize anything.
00:03:35But it's way less cool if I don't actually say an incantation.
00:03:41The water's only lukewarm.
00:03:44And here I was, hoping I'd get a chance to enjoy a nice hot bath again.
00:03:49I was really looking forward to it.
00:03:51Oh, well.
00:04:01I give up.
00:04:04Nothing I've tried is working.
00:04:14Wait a minute.
00:04:17Freeze!
00:04:21This is harder than I thought.
00:04:23Making ice should fall within the water element, right?
00:04:26Oh, man.
00:04:27I'd love to learn a spell like ice spear.
00:04:29I need to compress the water while removing its heat.
00:04:34Picture all the atoms that make up each H2O molecule.
00:04:38I need to create a crystalline structure.
00:04:41If I can just connect the hydrogen atoms to the adjacent oxygen atoms.
00:04:50That's a win for me.
00:04:52Thank goodness I still remember chemistry class.
00:04:55Now I can shape the ice to suit my needs.
00:05:04There we go.
00:05:08I'd say that was a productive first day after being reincarnated.
00:05:14I should be able to use what I learned making ice to heat up water, too.
00:05:18Magic sure makes life easy.
00:05:21Now then, I've still got plenty of stuff to do tomorrow.
00:05:29Michael mentioned that I only had two months of food in storage here, which means I'll have
00:05:34to go out and forage for food once I start running low on provisions.
00:05:39The woods lie outside the barriers, so I might run into monsters.
00:05:43I doubt a single knife will be enough.
00:05:45I'm gonna need to learn offensive magic.
00:05:48If I want my slow life to be safe and secure, I'd better start practicing.
00:05:55Go, water ball!
00:05:58Nice!
00:05:59I managed to cast my first attack spell.
00:06:02Although, it's lacking a bit of power.
00:06:05Well, I wasn't expecting much anyway.
00:06:08That said, I still have a trick up my sleeve.
00:06:13If water ball isn't enough,
00:06:15then it's up to water jet to finish things.
00:06:18Narrow the output.
00:06:20Imagine a thin, high-velocity stream.
00:06:23Go!
00:06:29I suck.
00:06:32So, one problem.
00:06:33I don't know the first thing about using magic.
00:06:37Imagination is the foundation of magic.
00:06:39Water jet!
00:06:40Clearly picture what you want in your mind,
00:06:43then slowly work to make it reality.
00:06:46Hmm.
00:06:47I'm able to put more force into it now.
00:06:51Great!
00:06:52Seems I was right about reversing the ice-making process to heat water.
00:06:56Bath time just got easier.
00:06:59Ah!
00:07:00It's way too hot!
00:07:03Forming ice from the humidity in the air.
00:07:11It's a pretty slow process,
00:07:12but now that I know it's doable,
00:07:14I can start experimenting a little.
00:07:16Next up,
00:07:17the main reason I wanted to learn ice magic.
00:07:20Fly, Icicle Lance!
00:07:22Strike down my foe!
00:07:24Oh.
00:07:26Seems ice is harder to project forward than water.
00:07:30Given how hard it is to conjure and how limited the range is,
00:07:33I'm starting to doubt how practical it'll be in combat.
00:07:37But for now,
00:07:38we'll just keep on practicing.
00:07:40Okay.
00:08:03Man, I feel lightheaded.
00:08:06Is it because I overused my mana?
00:08:12Oh, yeah.
00:08:13Duh.
00:08:13I guess I can't make a fire when the sun isn't out, huh?
00:08:29Icicle Lance!
00:08:31All right.
00:08:32Looks like I've finally gotten to the point where I can form them instantly.
00:08:36They are still not much of a projectile, though.
00:08:40Now then,
00:08:41it's time to venture forth
00:08:42and leave the barrier.
00:09:01Bingo!
00:09:03This is quartz.
00:09:04I had a feeling I'd find some along the riverbank.
00:09:07And with it...
00:09:09I can start a fire even after the sun goes down.
00:09:12Once I collect some detoxifying herbs,
00:09:15today's adventure will be a success.
00:09:25Hold on.
00:09:26That's a lesser four.
00:09:28This is bad.
00:09:35Move.
00:09:36Come on.
00:09:37Move, move, move!
00:09:55I can't get away.
00:09:56But in this world,
00:09:58I have magic.
00:09:59I spun!
00:10:02I can't get away.
00:10:05I can't get away.
00:10:21I really beat it.
00:10:24Lesser boars are listed as one of the weakest kinds of monster.
00:10:28Didn't seem that weak to me.
00:10:31This monster compendium is for beginners, but the last two pages look kind of special.
00:10:38Dragons. A single dragon is capable of destroying entire cities with ease.
00:10:43Whoa.
00:10:44Note, if you encounter one, you should flee.
00:10:46See, that sad escape is highly unlikely.
00:10:50Yeah, that makes sense. It's an instant game over.
00:10:54Akuma. Beings wholly distinct from fallen angels. Their origins are unknown.
00:11:00Note, pray you never encounter one.
00:11:03Oh yeah, thanks. Super helpful.
00:11:07There's a big world out there, huh?
00:11:17Mmm. Wow. It's a perfect balance of sweet and sour.
00:11:26A bird?
00:11:33This seems like a big jump in difficulty.
00:11:38It's an assassin hawk. They use an invisible air magic called air slash.
00:11:43But their preferred weapons are their razor sharp talons and piercing beak.
00:11:47I don't think I can outrun it.
00:11:49No choice.
00:11:51Go!
00:11:51Go!
00:11:53Go!
00:12:06Go!
00:12:08Go!
00:12:29this slow life thing why is it so hard i was so busy running for my life back there
00:12:36i completely lost track of which direction my house is in i've been walking for a while i should be
00:12:43close
00:13:13so
00:13:23so
00:13:42abrasive jet
00:13:49all right it finally worked if i enhance the hardness of the ice with my magic
00:13:54i can use it to blast my way through rock not to get ahead of myself but i might be
00:14:00getting
00:14:00the hang of magic
00:14:16my beginner's edition of the monster compendium didn't mention a doulaan
00:14:20is it not considered a monster or is it way too powerful for a beginner's guide it doesn't matter
00:14:29now
00:14:43now's my chance
00:14:55it always ends the same way with me lying on the ground but even so there's a reason i come
00:15:02to
00:15:02this clearing every night though he's never said a word it feels like he's showing me how to get
00:15:08stronger
00:15:15a sword made of water
00:15:27are you saying you want me to master it
00:15:38this really is a fantasy world
00:15:53the assassin hawk from before wait its feathers didn't used to be that dark
00:16:02did it evolve
00:16:05five layer ice wall
00:16:17ten layer ice wall
00:16:24another ice wall
00:16:28now for icicle lances
00:16:34what was that
00:16:37my walls
00:16:38it negates magic
00:16:39it learned a nasty new ability when it evolved
00:16:43it's preparing for another attack
00:16:55ahhhh
00:16:57ahhhh
00:16:57ahhhh
00:16:58ahhhh
00:17:04ahhhh
00:17:06Oh, my God.
00:17:43I get it.
00:17:44I took your eye during our first meeting.
00:17:48Even if you fought with everything you had, losing is still hard to accept.
00:17:57All that said, it's undeniable that running into you helped me grow.
00:18:02I knew that one day I'd have to face you again, so I had to get stronger.
00:18:08You gave me the chance to improve.
00:18:10Thank you, truly.
00:18:16You must have felt the same as me, since you found a way to evolve.
00:18:21Out of respect for the pride that brought you to this moment, I'll finish this.
00:18:40Incredible.
00:18:43The dragon.
00:18:48You there, human boy.
00:18:51It talks?
00:18:52Ah, most excellent.
00:18:54It's been so long since I used telepathy.
00:18:57I wasn't confident it would still work.
00:19:00I see.
00:19:01Anyway, I was hoping to ask you something, young human.
00:19:04Have you seen an evolved assassin walk nearby?
00:19:07It should have made its way to this area of the forest.
00:19:11Um, truthfully, I have.
00:19:14Forgive me.
00:19:15I hope it wasn't one of your subordinates.
00:19:17We dueled, and I took its life, sir.
00:19:22Ah, you managed to slay it.
00:19:24That was no ordinary monster.
00:19:26To take it on is a most impressive feat.
00:19:28You even have quite a rare weapon at your waist.
00:19:31It seems there's more to you than meets the eye.
00:19:36Oh, as I thought.
00:19:38The sword of the fairy king.
00:19:40If he saw victory that blade in your care,
00:19:43then you must have done something to earn his favor.
00:19:46Honestly, I couldn't really say.
00:19:48But, um, would you mind if I asked you a few questions?
00:19:56Ah, you'll have to forgive me,
00:19:59but I'm being called away now.
00:20:01I was so enjoying our little chair, too.
00:20:04It's fine.
00:20:05Thank you for everything you've told me.
00:20:07I appreciate it.
00:20:08Um, may I know your name?
00:20:11You can just call me Rio.
00:20:13Rio, eh?
00:20:14My name is Luan.
00:20:16A chair we meet again, Rio!
00:20:25That was really intense.
00:20:27Oh, man.
00:20:29Never thought I'd have a chat with a dragon.
00:20:31What a world.
00:20:32Who knows what'll happen next?
00:20:35Oh, dear.
00:20:36This is a massive oversight on my part.
00:20:39A hidden treat.
00:20:41Why would he have such a thing?
00:20:43What a peculiar occurrence.
00:20:45I haven't seen one since the first girl I sent to another world.
00:20:50That was over ten millennia ago.
00:20:52As for Rio,
00:20:54it's...
00:20:57That's not something you see every day.
00:21:00I only came down to the beach because I was craving some salt-grilled seafood.
00:21:05And now I gotta deal with this mess?
00:21:15Oh, my God.
00:21:38Seems I'm still alive.
00:21:41But how?
00:21:42Oh, my God.
00:21:44Oh, my God.
00:21:46Oh, my God.
00:22:03What is this place?
00:22:05Ah, you're finally awake.
00:22:06Oh.
00:22:07I'm glad you're okay.
00:22:10What in the world is going on?
00:22:12I didn't sense his presence at all.
00:22:14Stranger still is how he's dressed.
00:22:16His clothes are newly rags.
00:22:18They're falling apart.
00:22:20Doesn't he have anything else to wear?
00:22:22No.
00:22:23That shouldn't be the first thing that comes out of my mouth.
00:22:26Hi.
00:22:26My name's Abel.
00:22:27Were you the person who saved me?
00:22:31I am.
00:22:32There's no need for thanks.
00:22:33I only did what anybody would do.
00:22:36Sorry.
00:22:36You were the only survivor I found.
00:22:39Everyone else was already dead.
00:22:41Ah.
00:22:42So the others washed ashore with me.
00:22:44It's all right.
00:22:45They were a bunch of smugglers.
00:22:47They weren't friends?
00:22:50The-
00:22:51You must be starving.
00:22:53Let's get something to eat.
00:22:54We can talk about it after lunch.
00:22:56My name's Ryo.
00:22:57It's nice to meet you.
00:23:00You don't have other clothes?
00:23:02Unfortunately not.
00:23:03And without any thread or cloth, I can't repair what I do have.
00:23:06Come now.
00:23:07Surely you could just buy more clothes.
00:23:10What am I saying?
00:23:11He might not be able to afford new clothes.
00:23:14I owe him my life, and I just casually insulted him.
00:23:17If only it were that easy.
00:23:19There's no one else around here, much less a shop.
00:23:22That makes sense.
00:23:23So then this food.
00:23:25I take it you hunted or grew all of this yourself?
00:23:28Uh-huh.
00:23:29Well, it's delicious.
00:23:30Did you use that knife there?
00:23:33Honestly, that's more for self-defense or butchering whatever game I catch.
00:23:37I use this.
00:23:39Water?
00:23:40Heed my call.
00:23:46I just so happen to be a water magician.
00:23:49You can use magic.
00:23:51Even in the central provinces, only half the population has magic.
00:23:55It's not my forte, though.
00:23:57Wait, half?
00:23:58I thought Michael said it was only about 20%.
00:24:01Is something the matter?
00:24:03Oh, no.
00:24:04It's nothing to worry about.
00:24:06All right.
00:24:08Rio, there's something I'd like to confirm first.
00:24:11Could you take me back to the shoreline?
00:24:16Oh, by the way, you said you're a magician, right?
00:24:19I'm confused why you left your staff behind.
00:24:21My staff?
00:24:22Sorry, but I don't have one of those.
00:24:25I made another blunder.
00:24:27Of course he's lost a staff.
00:24:29How could I be so utterly thoughtless?
00:24:32What's wrong with me?
00:24:34Rio, if we run into trouble, please allow me to take care of it.
00:24:38Stay behind me.
00:24:39I'll be your shield.
00:24:40You don't have to worry about me.
00:24:41I insist.
00:24:42It's the least I could do.
00:24:44It's a matter of honor.
00:24:45I have to pay you back somehow.
00:24:48Uh, fine.
00:24:49I'll be counting on you if it comes to it, then.
00:24:53The bodies are gone.
00:24:55Huh.
00:24:56I guess they were either eaten by animals or washed out to sea by the tide.
00:25:00Which means if you hadn't come by and saved me when you did, I probably would have met the same
00:25:05fate.
00:25:06Well, Mr. Abel, guess you got lucky.
00:25:08I suppose you've got a point.
00:25:10By the way, you really don't have to be so polite around me, you know?
00:25:15Having the guy who saved me call me Mr. doesn't sit right with me.
00:25:19Cut it out, will you?
00:25:20Sorry, it just felt right because you seemed a little older than me.
00:25:24But, if that's what you want, I'll drop the Mr. Abel.
00:25:28Great.
00:25:29Thanks, Rio.
00:25:30That's how I prefer it with all of my friends.
00:25:33I appreciate it.
00:25:35Your friends, huh?
00:25:41I couldn't find the thing I was looking for.
00:25:44That's a shame.
00:25:45I wish I could help you.
00:25:46So, what are you going to do now?
00:25:48I'll try to rendezvous with my friends.
00:25:50I'll start by going to the town of Loon.
00:25:53Though, I think I've been swept pretty far south.
00:25:56I'm only familiar with this area, and I don't know where this Loon is.
00:25:59There's a decent chance you'll have to trek far northward in order to reach it.
00:26:04That's not good.
00:26:05This won't be easy.
00:26:08Say, would you accompany me, Rio?
00:26:11Sorry, I know that was sudden.
00:26:13But still, I need your help.
00:26:16Please, Rio.
00:26:17I don't know if I can make this journey without you.
00:26:20I don't have the faintest idea how to reach Loon, or even where we are now.
00:26:24That's why I need a guide to help me get there.
00:26:27What do you say?
00:26:28Are you sure?
00:26:30And you want me?
00:26:36Very well, then.
00:26:37Oh.
00:26:38I need a bit of time to prepare first.
00:26:40If you don't mind if we head out tomorrow, then you've got yourself a guide.
00:26:44That's no problem.
00:26:53And after everything Michael did to set me up for a quiet and relaxing second life.
00:27:05You're saying goodbye in the middle of the night?
00:27:08Yeah.
00:27:09This is the only time I can talk to them.
00:27:12I want to let them know I'll be going away for a while.
00:27:15Okay, be careful out there.
00:27:18Didn't he say no one else lived around here?
00:27:21Well, I suppose he could be paying respects to a loved one.
00:27:25There's no guarantee he's always been alone.
00:27:28I shouldn't pry into other people's business.
00:27:34There's something that I need to tell you.
00:27:38Starting tomorrow, I'll be leaving the forest of Rondo for a bit.
00:27:42I'm truly grateful for everything you've done for me.
00:27:46Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to survive here.
00:27:49I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
00:27:58That's why tonight, for our last bar, I won't hold anything back.
00:28:33Thank you for your tutelage.
00:28:34Thank you for your tutelage.
00:28:58For me?
00:29:06Thank you again for everything.
00:29:08I'll treasure this gift forever.
00:29:27All right.
00:29:28I'm ready to head out now.
00:29:31Great.
00:29:32Let's go.
00:29:33Let's go.
00:29:58I'll handle this.
00:30:00Stay here and watch my back.
00:30:03Yeah!
00:30:04Combat skills!
00:30:06Total impalement!
00:30:10Whoa!
00:30:11Nice job!
00:30:13What's a combat skill?
00:30:14Oh, that's right.
00:30:15You're a magician, so it makes sense you don't know about them.
00:30:18Combat skills come in handy for those fighting on the front lines.
00:30:21You can think of them as special techniques for fighters.
00:30:24That makes sense.
00:30:33I can hear something up ahead of us.
00:30:39Lizard folk?
00:30:40This is bad.
00:30:42They'll make for tough opponents in this marshland.
00:30:45Let's circle around them.
00:30:55Abel!
00:30:56I think the lizard folk are following us.
00:30:59Seriously?
00:31:00Let's fend them off here.
00:31:01There are quite a few of them.
00:31:03I'll use my magic to help you fight.
00:31:05But you don't have a staff, Ryo.
00:31:07Icicle Lance 4!
00:31:10Huh?
00:31:10Be careful.
00:31:11There are more coming.
00:31:13Oh, right.
00:31:16Hey, what was that spell you used?
00:31:19It's a water spell called Icicle Lance.
00:31:22It's taken me a lot of practice getting it down.
00:31:25I don't understand.
00:31:26You made four ice lances appear at the same time.
00:31:29I thought each invocation can only yield a single spell cast.
00:31:32At least that's what a wind magician told me once.
00:31:35How did you do that?
00:31:36Maybe it's a little different for wind magic.
00:31:39But as far as I know, this is pretty typical for water.
00:31:42That seems strange.
00:31:44Doesn't matter.
00:31:45We should get going again.
00:31:47Before that.
00:31:49Arise, cup.
00:31:50Water, come forth.
00:31:53We should stay well hydrated during our journey.
00:31:57Say, Ryo.
00:31:58Maybe I'm misremembering things, but wasn't the incantation last time water heed my call or something like that?
00:32:04Huh?
00:32:05Really?
00:32:05I don't think it was.
00:32:07Anyway, we ought to keep moving, right?
00:32:19Oh.
00:32:21Wow.
00:32:22I've never seen money before.
00:32:24Oh, you don't say.
00:32:25That's a bronze florin from the kingdom of Nightly, the country where Alun is located.
00:32:30Nightly, huh?
00:32:31That has a nice rig to it.
00:32:33Yeah, I guess so.
00:32:34Well, within the central provinces, each individual country has their own currency, but they all have the same worth.
00:32:41You've mentioned the central provinces before, but could you tell me more about them?
00:32:45Sure thing.
00:32:45It's made of three major nations.
00:32:47The Kingdom of Nightly, the Debuhi Empire, and the Handaloo Federation.
00:32:52Debuhi?
00:32:54Oh, sorry.
00:32:55Do you have some sort of history with the Empire?
00:32:57It's not that.
00:32:58The name just hits the ear wrong.
00:33:00Ah, I see.
00:33:02It's a little surprising to hear that's the thing you're so focused on.
00:33:06I mean, think of how much a nation's name matters to its people.
00:33:09Imagine having to tell someone I'm from Debuhi.
00:33:12I couldn't do it.
00:33:13Out of the question.
00:33:15You feel real strongly about this.
00:33:18We've made it out of the forest.
00:33:20Yeah.
00:33:24Oh.
00:33:27A stone.
00:33:29Rise, Ice Wolf.
00:33:33We're surrounded.
00:33:35Rio, this is bad.
00:33:37Seems we stumbled into a rock golem nest.
00:33:40Wait, that thing's a rock golem?
00:33:42For some reason, I always imagined that they'd have more of a humanoid shape.
00:33:46Like with arms and legs, you know?
00:33:47I'll try to take out one of the golems closest to us.
00:33:50Keep an eye on the others, okay?
00:33:53Combat skill.
00:33:54Total entailment.
00:34:04It's no use.
00:34:05They're regenerating.
00:34:06I think I have an idea for how to deal with these guys.
00:34:09Do you mind if I give it a try this time?
00:34:10Go ahead.
00:34:12In that case...
00:34:13Come, ten-layer ice balls!
00:34:24Wow, the power of physics sure is scary.
00:34:27Huh?
00:34:28Wait, Rio!
00:34:29What was that?
00:34:31Well, I'm glad it worked out.
00:34:32I can use the same spell to deal with the rest.
00:34:37This is the last golem.
00:34:39But it stopped moving.
00:34:42They're golems, so maybe they absorb power from the ground, and since it got knocked over, it doesn't have the
00:34:47energy to move.
00:34:48What is that thing?
00:34:50That's a magic stone.
00:34:51A huge one at that, with a surprisingly vivid color.
00:34:54In order to make such a high-quality magic stone, this thing must have been defeating any monster it came
00:34:59across for a while now.
00:35:01We earned ourselves some nice spoils.
00:35:03I wish we could have collected more magic stones from the other rock golems as well.
00:35:08But that's not happening.
00:35:14It's enormous.
00:35:16A hippo?
00:35:17I've never seen one in person before, but I think that might be a behemoth.
00:35:21You think we could take it on, Abel?
00:35:24Absolutely not!
00:35:26Look, in the distance.
00:35:29Those are wyverns.
00:35:30Awesome!
00:35:31We've got front row seats to a monster fight!
00:35:33It looks like the behemoth is at a huge disadvantage here.
00:35:37Maybe, but I don't think Behe is going down that easily.
00:35:55Awesome job, Behe!
00:35:56What the heck was that?
00:35:58I'm pretty sure it was some kind of magic negation ability.
00:36:03I was really looking forward to an Abel vs. Behe second round.
00:36:07There's no way!
00:36:09Still, magic negation, huh?
00:36:11I've only heard about that kind of effect from some traps and dungeons.
00:36:15Dungeons?!
00:36:15Yeah, I take it you're interested in them?
00:36:18You bet I am!
00:36:19I'd love to explore one someday!
00:36:21This might work out perfectly, then.
00:36:24The only known dungeon in the central provinces is actually located in the town we're headed to.
00:36:29Are you serious?
00:36:30Yes? And you've been keeping this a secret from me the entire time, Abel?
00:36:33I didn't hide it on purpose.
00:36:35How was I supposed to know you'd have such a strange fascination with dungeons?
00:36:40Unbelievable! This is just like you!
00:36:42Is there anything else you conveniently forgot to tell me?
00:36:46Well, surely you already know about elves and dwarves, don't you?
00:36:49By all means, tell me more!
00:36:53Dwarves are known for their smithing skills, and they're good in a fight.
00:36:57Lune has a few of them there.
00:36:58I see. That's exactly what I pictured.
00:37:01Based on what, though?
00:37:03Anyway, as for elves, I'm pretty sure Lune only has one living there.
00:37:07Most elves build settlements deep in the woods and don't stray too far from them.
00:37:12I see. That's exactly how I pictured them in my mind, too.
00:37:15Seriously? What are you talking about?
00:37:25Once we're past these mountains, we'll start approaching human territory.
00:37:29Hey, Rio. It's not that I doubt you or anything, but where did you get all this information from?
00:37:34Oh! About that.
00:37:38Another continent?
00:37:40Indeed. We're on a peninsula surrounded by oceans to the east, west, and south.
00:37:45To the north, there's a vast mountain range separating it from the next continent.
00:37:49The mountains are quite treacherous, so it's unlikely you'll ever encounter any humans coming from the north.
00:37:56I think it'll be better if you don't know.
00:37:59Let's see.
00:38:00If you really want, you can call it a source of knowledge beyond human understanding.
00:38:05All right, then.
00:38:14Get ready!
00:38:16Got it.
00:38:27What the hell?
00:38:35The meat!
00:38:52Thank goodness.
00:38:53I wasn't sure we'd survive that.
00:38:55Uh-huh.
00:38:56You can say that again.
00:39:00Still, that left quite an impression.
00:39:03Yeah.
00:39:04If we had fought that thing, we probably would not have lived to tell the tale.
00:39:08Human beings were made to fight such powerful beasts.
00:39:11No one's seen a behemoth or griffon in centuries.
00:39:14And we happened to run into both.
00:39:16I swear, something's wrong with this place.
00:39:18Hey, that's a rude way of putting it.
00:39:20Maybe humans just aren't looking hard enough.
00:39:23Why would anyone want to find them?
00:39:26I'd wager these mountains have been keeping the behemoths and griffons out of human territory,
00:39:30and vice versa.
00:39:32The north.
00:39:34Is there something on your mind, Ryo?
00:39:36Do you remember the wyverns we saw?
00:39:38When they attacked Behe, I thought they flew in from the north, which would mean...
00:39:47There they are.
00:39:48Congratulations, Abel.
00:39:49I don't want this!
00:39:51What now?
00:39:52How do we get past them?
00:39:54What?
00:39:54You don't want to fight them?
00:39:56There's no way just the two of us can handle those wyverns by ourselves.
00:40:01Ordinarily, it takes at least 20 experienced adventurers working together to hunt them down.
00:40:07And still, even with those numbers, there are always a few casualties.
00:40:11I get the feeling we'll run into a bunch of wyverns while we try to cross.
00:40:16We might not be able to avoid all of them.
00:40:18It's still too dangerous.
00:40:20What do you think our chances would be if we could make sure they stayed pinned to the ground?
00:40:24They would definitely be a lot higher, since then I'd be able to reach them with my sword.
00:40:28Great, that settles it.
00:40:30Wait a sec!
00:40:31Oh, crap.
00:40:32Guess we're doing this.
00:40:33Oh, spear of ice that pierces through all!
00:40:36Descent from the heavens and impale my enemies!
00:40:39Icicle lance four!
00:40:42Combat skill!
00:40:43Total impalement!
00:41:00Abel?
00:41:01Oh, right.
00:41:05I'm shocked by how easy that was.
00:41:08Between that and a true life-and-death battle, I suppose you'd pick the more exciting option.
00:41:13Yeah?
00:41:13Uh, no thanks.
00:41:14I'll take the first choice every time.
00:41:16Your plan was perfect.
00:41:18Let's just stick with that.
00:41:19Well, if that'll really satisfy you, Abel, then I guess we should.
00:41:26Okay, Ryo, get ready.
00:41:29We're gonna take down that entire flock.
00:41:31Good grief.
00:41:31You're like a combat junkie.
00:41:33No, I'm not!
00:41:34They're in our way, so we'd have to fight them eventually if we want to make it through these mountains.
00:41:38Let's kill them before more come!
00:41:40Come on!
00:41:43Oh, my God.
00:41:59Ah.
00:42:09After getting the hang of taking down wyverns, I don't think I would have minded having to fight more of
00:42:13them.
00:42:14Don't be ridiculous.
00:42:15It would be best to never run into any at all.
00:42:18But, I must admit, collecting so much magic stone from them was an unexpected perk.
00:42:25Now, we've come pretty far north, but the question remains.
00:42:29Where are we?
00:42:31Not the Debuki Empire, right?
00:42:33No. Highly unlikely since the Empire is even farther north in the kingdom.
00:42:37Phew, I'm glad.
00:42:39And what exactly do you have against the Empire?
00:42:41Oh, no. Don't get the wrong idea.
00:42:44It's not that I have any problem with the Empire itself.
00:42:47But with a name like that, it's not somewhere I want to be.
00:42:51Okay. Just a strong preference.
00:42:53Is that a road I see up ahead?
00:42:56And it runs from east to west.
00:42:58Which means...
00:43:01These mountains.
00:43:05Is something wrong?
00:43:08No, it's nothing.
00:43:11If we follow that road west, it should take us to the town of Kylody.
00:43:16Wow, civilization!
00:43:18I'll get to sleep in a real bed!
00:43:20So, you don't want to look for more wyverns to fight them?
00:43:23Sure I do. They're two different things.
00:43:26For what it's worth, I could use a bit of a rest myself.
00:43:30Also, while we're there, I would highly recommend Kylody's food.
00:43:34You'll find it's all quite excellent.
00:43:39An adventurer's guild?
00:43:41That's right.
00:43:42I think you should go ahead and register there.
00:43:45A guild card can also act as a form of identification.
00:43:48Carrying one on you ensures that towns and nations alike will waive their entry fee for you.
00:43:53Remember when we first arrived in town?
00:43:56You didn't have any ID, so I had to act as your sponsor and paid a silver coin for you.
00:44:01That wasn't part of some scheme, was it?
00:44:03My silver coin is what got you in here, peon!
00:44:06Serve me!
00:44:07Like that?
00:44:08Do you take me for some kind of lowlife?
00:44:10Of course, that's right!
00:44:12I forgot you were a virtuous gentleman who doesn't quibble over every coin!
00:44:16And boy, am I grateful!
00:44:18You're such an odd one.
00:44:20Well, that's not the only reason to visit the guild.
00:44:22They'll buy all your magic stone and monster materials for a pretty decent price, too.
00:44:26You need to be an alchemist to make use of such things otherwise, so it helps a lot.
00:44:31There's alchemy?
00:44:33Watch out, the plate's hot!
00:44:35Isn't that...
00:44:36Your curry, sir!
00:44:39Smells delicious!
00:44:41No way!
00:44:42They actually have curry rice here?
00:44:46Though I guess this is that kind of story.
00:44:50But usually the main character must endure countless trials and tribulations,
00:44:53searching the world over before they can assemble the ingredients for this simple dish.
00:44:57In fact, you just walk in and order it at the first tavern you see.
00:45:01Is there something wrong with that?
00:45:02Nope, I'm just over here talking to myself.
00:45:05I see.
00:45:06I did say you should try their fare.
00:45:09Now, dig in.
00:45:19If you like it, we can always ask for more.
00:45:22Sweet!
00:45:25Another plate, please!
00:45:28Wow, Abel, do you know if they have this curry in Loon, too?
00:45:31Yeah, they do have a similar dish.
00:45:34I'm glad you liked it so much.
00:45:36For sure!
00:45:38It was delicious!
00:45:41That curry yesterday really hit the spot.
00:45:45I gotta say, that was a good call.
00:45:47Oh, well, I had no idea it took such a liking to it.
00:45:50This isn't the first secret I've caught you trying to keep from me, Abel.
00:45:54So, you might as well spill any other important information you've neglected to mention.
00:46:01For example, I bet you have a sweet tooth.
00:46:03So you better get ready to show me all the best desserts in town.
00:46:08Oh, um, sure.
00:46:09Let me think on it a bit then.
00:46:11Hmm.
00:46:13Hmm.
00:46:28Hey!
00:46:35Oh, wow.
00:46:37We made it to Loon.
00:46:40The surrounding weight fields make for quite a view, eh?
00:46:51Hold on.
00:46:53Neymar, it's me!
00:46:54It's been a while, huh?
00:46:55Is that really you?
00:46:57Everyone said you were missing.
00:46:59Yes, well, I was, but I'm back now.
00:47:02All thanks to Rio here.
00:47:04Oh!
00:47:05No kidding!
00:47:06You saved Abel?
00:47:07Thanks a lot!
00:47:09No big deal!
00:47:12Here's his entry fee.
00:47:14Got it.
00:47:15Should be good.
00:47:16Oh, man, welcome back.
00:47:18Glad to be home.
00:47:19Heading straight to the guild hall then?
00:47:21Yeah, probably should.
00:47:23He's home.
00:47:24Good.
00:47:25I'm happy for you, Abel.
00:47:30Let's make for the guild first.
00:47:32Since I'm with you, we can rank up your registration.
00:47:35What do you mean by rank up?
00:47:37Well, typically, when you register with the guild for the first time, you start out as
00:47:41an F rank.
00:47:42But, with the endorsement of a B rank or higher, you can start taking on E and D rank jobs.
00:47:48So, in other words, you're really saying you're rank B or higher?
00:47:51Fantastic!
00:47:52I'm quite proud of you!
00:47:53I'm not sure why.
00:47:55But anyway, a higher guild ranking gives you access to higher rank quests, which offer
00:47:59bigger rewards, so it's good to start off with a leg up.
00:48:02Though, truth be told, with what you've got, money won't be a problem anytime soon.
00:48:07Whoa, is it really that valuable?
00:48:09Those materials are scarcer than you would think.
00:48:11In fact, selling them all at once could crash the market.
00:48:15And I'm sure the guild master will figure something out.
00:48:19Here we are.
00:48:21This quest's deadline is three minutes.
00:48:24Abel!
00:48:25Who's back?
00:48:27Hey, Abel, is that really you?
00:48:29Oh, man, I thought you were a goner!
00:48:31Hey, Abel's right over here!
00:48:33He is?
00:48:34Hmph.
00:48:35I'm back.
00:48:37Someone's popular.
00:48:39So, let's hear it.
00:48:40How is it out there, are you thinking?
00:48:42How are you just knowing that?
00:48:45I'll step out here and wait so I don't get in the way.
00:48:50Hey.
00:49:14Isn't that the Fairy Kings?
00:49:17Oh, I was just commenting on your remarkable outfit.
00:49:21He must have taken quite a liking to you.
00:49:27My, you're quite an interesting one, aren't you?
00:49:30Huh?
00:49:31Please pardon me.
00:49:32I'm in a hurry, but I do hope we meet again.
00:49:43Hey, why'd you run off?
00:49:45Get in here!
00:49:48This is Ryo.
00:49:50He saved my life out there.
00:49:51And now, he's going to register as an adventurer in this city.
00:49:55So, make sure to look after him for me, okay?
00:49:58Um, I'm Ryo.
00:50:00It's great to meet all of you.
00:50:02Likewise.
00:50:04You are so grateful she saved Abel.
00:50:18Ryo here needs to register, but I was hoping to enter him at rank D, on my endorsement.
00:50:24Wait, yours personally?
00:50:26Wow, no one from the Crimson Sword has ever endorsed anyone before.
00:50:29Are you sure you want to do that?
00:50:31Yep, you can trust me.
00:50:33He's just that valuable.
00:50:35Is he really?
00:50:37There shouldn't be any problem with the endorsement.
00:50:40But even with your recommendation, the process still requires some physical proof of his abilities.
00:50:45I was hoping I could speak with the Guilt Master about that, among other things.
00:50:49Right, of course.
00:50:50I'll let him know you're here.
00:50:52You two can wait in the meeting room.
00:50:56What'd you say?
00:50:59You're back?
00:51:02What a relief.
00:51:04Hey, Kill Mass.
00:51:05I am so sorry to worry you.
00:51:07But I managed to make it home.
00:51:09Good grief, Abel.
00:51:11You know I about had a heart attack when they told me you'd up and vanished on us like that.
00:51:15Hold on now.
00:51:16Who's your magician friend?
00:51:18This is Ryo.
00:51:19He's the one that saved my life.
00:51:21That right.
00:51:22Well, I'm the Guilt Master here in Loon.
00:51:25The name's Hugh McGlass.
00:51:27Appreciate you saving Abel.
00:51:29Oh, no, please.
00:51:30Don't mention it, sir.
00:51:32I had to help him.
00:51:34I need to talk to you.
00:51:35Ryo wants to register, and we're hoping that my endorsement will help him rank up.
00:51:40Really, now?
00:51:41You do realize we still need proof of his abilities to make it happen?
00:51:45Right, of course.
00:51:46I should warn you.
00:51:48Ryo's stronger than me.
00:51:50Oh, come on, man.
00:51:53I'm not even kidding.
00:51:55Check these out.
00:51:56We got them from defeating monsters on our way here.
00:51:59I see.
00:52:00That's quite a haul.
00:52:00Oh, I know green magic stones correspond to the wind element, but these are quite vivid
00:52:05and so massive.
00:52:07Where'd you get these?
00:52:09Are they from wyverns?
00:52:11They are.
00:52:12Impossible.
00:52:13Where in the world?
00:52:15And that many wyverns would be enough to destroy the whole country.
00:52:18You'd need an army to fight them off.
00:52:20No need to worry about that.
00:52:22We were hunting far from here, just south of the Malefic Mountains.
00:52:26Are you serious?
00:52:27I didn't know that.
00:52:29After we found the road leading to Kyla D, I finally figured out where we were.
00:52:34That's also when I realized which mountain range we had previously passed through.
00:52:38The Malefic Mountains.
00:52:40That name couldn't be any more nefarious sounding.
00:52:44They say no one's ever made it through those mountains alive.
00:52:47Normal folks don't stand a chance up there, and I'd say even an adventurer would think twice
00:52:51about getting anywhere near them.
00:52:53And you mean to tell me the two of you just went and did it?
00:52:58It's enough proof for his rank up.
00:53:00I hope.
00:53:01It's more than enough.
00:53:04Hm.
00:53:06Everyone wait!
00:53:07You can't go in there!
00:53:08They're still talking!
00:53:10He's really here!
00:53:11What a huge relief!
00:53:14Deja vu.
00:53:16Lynn, I'm really sorry I worried you so much.
00:53:19Abel.
00:53:20Risha.
00:53:21Warren.
00:53:23I'm back.
00:53:24Indeed.
00:53:25It's good to see you.
00:53:28Well, I'm sure you've got some catching up to do, so I'll leave you to it.
00:53:32Much appreciated.
00:53:33Rio, come on, let's get you set up.
00:53:36Nina, bring the whole registration kit up to my office, please.
00:53:39I'll be right there, sir.
00:53:42Hey, wait!
00:53:44Yes?
00:53:45There's somewhere I'd like you to see when we're done here.
00:53:47Wait for me at the reception desk.
00:53:50I'll see you in a bit.
00:53:52Those folks were Abel's party mates, and not coincidentally the most beloved people in town.
00:53:58The Grimson Sword.
00:53:59That's quite a name, huh?
00:54:02Now, should I really be registering as a D-rank?
00:54:06I know Abel is a fierce fighter.
00:54:08I'd even say he has a gift for it.
00:54:11But, as powerful as he might be, there's absolutely no way he was able to kill a wyvern on his
00:54:17own.
00:54:17So what about you, kid?
00:54:20I'm thinking you must be pretty strong, too.
00:54:23Definitely skilled enough to register as rank D.
00:54:26Ow!
00:54:27Oh!
00:54:27You may look like a magician, but you've got a real solid physique on you, don't you?
00:54:32Come in!
00:54:36Sorry to intrude, but I brought everything Ryo should need.
00:54:39Great, I'll let you walk him through it, then.
00:54:42Time to start wrestling with the paperwork.
00:54:45Please, let me formally introduce myself.
00:54:48My name is Nina, and I'm a clerk here in the Loon Adventurers Guild.
00:54:51It's nice to meet you.
00:54:53Wow, you're so polite.
00:54:56I'm Ryo, and the feeling's mutual.
00:54:59The first part of the process is the interview.
00:55:02Let's see.
00:55:03Your name's Ryo.
00:55:05I take it your class should be listed as magician, right?
00:55:08Yes, I suppose it should be.
00:55:10And the element of your magic?
00:55:12That would be water.
00:55:13As for where you live, you probably haven't decided yet, huh?
00:55:17No, since I just got into town and all.
00:55:20Well, we should be able to help you out with that.
00:55:22You'll have access to guild lodgings for 300 days.
00:55:25It's certainly an option worth considering.
00:55:28But moving on, you've never ventured into a dungeon before, have you, Ryo?
00:55:32That's right, I haven't yet.
00:55:34Well, the guild has you covered.
00:55:35Every month, we host a course on dungeoneering.
00:55:38We cover topics relevant to rookie adventurers, including life-saving advice on things to watch
00:55:43out for while you're exploring the dungeons.
00:55:46Would you be interested in that?
00:55:48I'd love to attend.
00:55:50This month's course begins the day after tomorrow.
00:55:53I'll mark you down for it, so please arrive at our third-floor meeting room two days from
00:55:57now at nine.
00:55:58And don't be late.
00:56:00At nine?
00:56:01Right.
00:56:02There's a clock in the town square that you can use to keep track of time if you need
00:56:06to.
00:56:07With that, our interview is over.
00:56:10All that's left to do is your actual registration.
00:56:13My actual registration?
00:56:15That's right.
00:56:17Could you place your hand on this crystal for me?
00:56:20Register.
00:56:30Here you are.
00:56:31This is your guild card, so you don't want to lose it.
00:56:34You're officially registered with the guild now.
00:56:38Congratulations, Ryo.
00:56:40Excuse me.
00:56:43What a relief.
00:56:46The mood around here got utterly morbid when Abel was reported missing.
00:56:50I never want to experience that again.
00:56:53Now that he's home, I can finally take a breath.
00:56:56We owe Ryo a lot.
00:56:58He saved this guild.
00:56:59Guess I should start getting the word out about that.
00:57:06So, where are you taking me?
00:57:08I owe you a reward for escorting me back to town.
00:57:11It's only right.
00:57:12Do you think some new clothes and a staff would be fair payment?
00:57:15That's so generous of you.
00:57:17New clothes are great, but what's this about a staff?
00:57:20Uh, well, you are a magician, aren't you?
00:57:24Don't you need a staff?
00:57:25I seem to be plenty capable of using magic even without one.
00:57:29Plus, when I need to melee, I really like fighting with a sword.
00:57:32I didn't know you could actually use a sword.
00:57:34But, wait, you've never carried one.
00:57:37I do, though.
00:57:39It's right here.
00:57:40Uh, that looks more like a knife.
00:57:43Hold on.
00:57:44Wait, is that a sword?
00:57:46Huh?
00:57:46There's actually something I was hoping to ask you.
00:57:49I'm starting to realize I don't quite understand the basic concepts of this world.
00:57:54What do you mean by that, Ryo?
00:57:58From what Abel's told me, a lot of things operate the same way in this world.
00:58:0324-hour days, 7-day weeks, 30 days in a month.
00:58:07Give or take a day or two.
00:58:08Just like Earth.
00:58:09They even measure their clothing in centimeters here, same as we do.
00:58:14And they have curry rice.
00:58:16There's no way that's just a coincidence.
00:58:18It can't be.
00:58:19I don't think I'm the first one to be reincarnated in this world.
00:58:22I can tell someone's messed with things before.
00:58:26Thanks for taking care of that.
00:58:28Sure.
00:58:29I'm just glad you got what you needed.
00:58:31All right.
00:58:32Our timing's spot on.
00:58:34Oh, are we making another stop?
00:58:36Yep.
00:58:37And you're the guest of honor, so there's no getting out of it.
00:58:40Huh?
00:58:41Let's get this party started!
00:58:44To Abel coming back home to us!
00:58:46To Ryo, who saved my life!
00:58:48To Ryo, cheers!
00:59:05I hope you're doing all right, Ryo.
00:59:07I'm totally exhausted.
00:59:09Well, Ra wouldn't leave you alone last night.
00:59:12He's always admired Abel, almost like an older brother or something.
00:59:16I'm pretty sure he just wanted to show you how grateful he is.
00:59:20It was no problem hanging out with him all night.
00:59:23But I think I drink way too much.
00:59:28Yeah!
00:59:29Come on in!
00:59:31Pardon me.
00:59:32Oh, Miss Mina!
00:59:34What?
00:59:34Um, well, uh, good afternoon!
00:59:36Well, good afternoon to you too, Nils.
00:59:39I'd like you both to meet Ryo.
00:59:41He'll be joining room 15 starting today.
00:59:43I'm Ryo.
00:59:44It's very nice to meet you.
00:59:46Likewise.
00:59:47My name is Nils.
00:59:48And this is Eto.
00:59:50Glad to have you, man.
00:59:52Sure.
00:59:53Well, I should probably get back to my desk right about now.
00:59:57Of course.
00:59:58Thanks for showing me the way here.
00:59:59It's my pleasure.
01:00:01Don't forget about the lecture tomorrow.
01:00:06Oh, Nina's the prettiest girl I've ever seen in my whole life!
01:00:09Come on, not this again.
01:00:11Every guy in the guild is competing for the clerk's attention.
01:00:14And you know full well you don't stand a chance.
01:00:16Yeah, well, I get that.
01:00:17But I'm no different than any other man.
01:00:19We all want to become big shots and land a fine woman on our arm.
01:00:22So Nina said your name was Ryo, right?
01:00:25I'm not big on formality since we're going to be roommates.
01:00:28Are you okay with keeping things casual between us?
01:00:30Oh, yeah.
01:00:32That sounds great to me.
01:00:34Fantastic.
01:00:34So glad you're reasonable.
01:00:36I was starting to worry we'd get someone like Dan from room one in here.
01:00:40Yikes.
01:00:41Rooming with new people can be tricky.
01:00:43Come in.
01:00:46Sorry to barge in again.
01:00:48But another new adventurer who just registered would like to stay in the lodge.
01:00:52And I figured you would have room for one more.
01:00:55I'm Amun.
01:00:56Appreciate you having me.
01:00:58You're a young one.
01:00:59There's no way you're of age yet.
01:01:01You're right.
01:01:02I recently turned 16.
01:01:04But my entire family died.
01:01:07I thought I might make a living as an adventurer.
01:01:10And that's why I came to Loon.
01:01:12Well, I guess we're all in the same boat.
01:01:15Amun will also be attending the introductory dungeoneering course tomorrow.
01:01:19The two of you can come together, Ryo.
01:01:22Sounds good.
01:01:23It's nice to meet you.
01:01:25Same to you.
01:01:26It's quite a pleasure.
01:01:29What you're describing is impossible.
01:01:31It's pretty obvious that ice wall is a type of water magic.
01:01:34But it's so thin that even an air slash could easily tear right through it.
01:01:38Conjuring a thick version in mid-air to drop on an enemy is absurd.
01:01:42Well, that's what he did, so I don't know what to tell you.
01:01:45First of all, magic can only be conjured in the proximity of the person casting it.
01:01:50Projecting a spell is one thing, but conjuring it at a distance is a whole other thing.
01:01:54This is basic magic knowledge, Abel.
01:01:57Wow.
01:01:58Okay.
01:01:59You're getting way too worked up over this.
01:02:01Abel wouldn't lie to us, so let's at least give him the benefit of the doubt.
01:02:06I wish I could let it go, but it's a plain fact that what he's saying is impossible.
01:02:10Like the talk about wyverns.
01:02:12How could he pierce them with spears of ice when they're surrounded by a wind barrier that deflects magic?
01:02:17Yeah.
01:02:17I mean, what you're saying is true.
01:02:20But it's also true that I saw what I saw.
01:02:22I can't think of anyone who could do that.
01:02:25I suppose it's possible that the famous Inferno Magician might be that powerful.
01:02:30A legendary Inferno Magician.
01:02:33The one capable of incinerating a thousand Imperial troops with one chant,
01:02:38reducing a wyvern to ash with a solitary spell,
01:02:41and wiping a town from the map with a single invocation?
01:02:44The comparison is a little much, but...
01:02:47If what you're saying is remotely true, then Ryo's quite the find.
01:02:50My word, we should hope he doesn't decide to turn against us.
01:02:55In the worst-case scenario, he joins the Empire.
01:02:58He definitely won't.
01:03:00What makes you so sure of that?
01:03:02For some reason, he hates the name Debuhi.
01:03:07Pardon?
01:03:10That's how it always is.
01:03:12What, you don't get it?
01:03:14Today is the last day of the introductory course.
01:03:17Over the past week, you've learned the essentials of dungeon exploration.
01:03:21And while it's been entirely theoretical so far,
01:03:24this afternoon, you'll be heading into the first layer of an actual dungeon.
01:03:28We're finally going to explore a dungeon.
01:03:31I'm getting nervous.
01:03:32It's still pretty early in the day.
01:03:34If you're already this worried, Amun, you'll burn out by the afternoon.
01:03:38Yeah, I know, but I can't help it.
01:03:40Before we head to the dungeon, I'll answer any questions you might have.
01:03:44Is there anything you still don't understand?
01:03:47Ryo.
01:03:48Sir?
01:03:49After clearing a layer in a dungeon, would there be any method to instantly travel back to it later?
01:03:54Ah, I'm impressed you know about that, Ryo.
01:03:57Apparently there are dungeons with features similar to what you mentioned in the southern provinces.
01:04:01But I've only ever heard rumors about it, so I can't give you any details.
01:04:05And you won't find anything like that in Loon's dungeon.
01:04:09I see.
01:04:10Thank you very much, sir.
01:04:11I've never heard of this instant travel.
01:04:14You really know all sorts of cool stuff, Ryo.
01:04:16It's no wonder that you're Rank D.
01:04:19It's just something I heard a while ago.
01:04:23The entrance to Loon's dungeon lies at the center of town.
01:04:26But it's more accurate to say that the town was built around the dungeon to support exploration efforts.
01:04:31As I explained in the course, every few years the monster population the dungeon houses multiplies rapidly.
01:04:38We call this the Great Tidal Boar.
01:04:40It's not unusual for monsters that spawn during these population booms to make their way to the surface.
01:04:45The high walls you see here were built to prevent them from getting into town and causing chaos.
01:04:50That makes sense.
01:04:52Loon's outer wall keeps its people safe from any attackers trying to get in,
01:04:56while the one in the center of town was put up to keep any dungeon monsters from escaping.
01:05:00With a name like the Great Tidal Boar, it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
01:05:05Like I said, it doesn't occur that often.
01:05:07And it's not likely to happen anytime soon.
01:05:10So you rookies can explore the dungeon without having to worry, okay?
01:05:15Did anyone take note of the guild office near the gate?
01:05:19Typically, upon entering the dungeon, your name and time of entry are recorded.
01:05:24However, since this is an exercise for the introductory course, we can just head inside.
01:05:32Amun, just try to relax. You look like you're about to throw up.
01:05:36Come on, take a deep breath.
01:05:40I think I feel better now.
01:05:42We're all down here with you. Don't worry so much.
01:05:45Right.
01:05:46As I mentioned during the lecture, there are no dangerous monsters here on the first lair.
01:05:51You're free to explore on your own. Just stay within sight of the entrance.
01:05:59There's something there.
01:06:00I don't see it.
01:06:05It's up ahead. Just out of sight.
01:06:07I'll use my magic to hold it in place.
01:06:10You can use that opening to attack it.
01:06:12Right. Understood. You can count on me.
01:06:15Ah, a soldier ant.
01:06:17I've read about this monster.
01:06:19The easiest way to kill it is to aim for the base of its neck.
01:06:28I'm going to pin it down now.
01:06:30Oh, ice. Use your cold power to pierce my enemies.
01:06:34Go, icicle lancate.
01:06:39Common. Move in and finish it.
01:06:41On it.
01:06:48That was well done.
01:06:53I did it for you.
01:06:55Oh, don't forget to grab its magic stone.
01:06:57We ought to commemorate our first expedition.
01:07:00But is that allowed?
01:07:02We're adventurers, aren't we?
01:07:04We earn a living by looting dungeons.
01:07:12Wow, this is quite the souvenir.
01:07:17Yeah.
01:07:21Let's celebrate Ryo and Amid finishing their course in their first foray into the dungeon.
01:07:26Bottoms up!
01:07:31That's great!
01:07:32The only way it could be better is if it were actual booze!
01:07:36Unfortunately, they don't serve alcohol in here.
01:07:39And we're not allowed to bring any in.
01:07:41Well, maybe this is their way of saying that adventurers shouldn't get too carried away.
01:07:45We're celebrating! What's the harm in one drink?
01:07:48Though I have to say, it's impressive that you managed to take down a soldier ant.
01:07:52Especially for your first time.
01:07:54Honestly, all I did was finish it off.
01:07:58And that was only because Ryo pinned it down.
01:08:00But you killed it cleanly with some really impressive blade work.
01:08:04You don't have to be so modest, Amid.
01:08:06Either way, you got a magic stone out of it, so it doesn't really matter who did what.
01:08:11Do you guys have any plans for tomorrow?
01:08:13I kind of wanted to check out the dungeon again.
01:08:16But just the thought of going alone makes me nervous.
01:08:19Oh, yeah? Want to come with me then?
01:08:21I was thinking of poking around the dungeon until I hit the third layer.
01:08:25I'd love to! Thanks a lot, Ryo!
01:08:28I can't stop thinking about how we ran into that ant on the first layer.
01:08:32The lecture made that sound unusual.
01:08:33It is! Normally the first layer is just a whole bunch of bats.
01:08:38Over the last few months, I've heard reports that more and more soldier ants have been appearing in the first
01:08:43and second layers of the dungeon.
01:08:45Which begs the question of what they're doing there.
01:08:48The reason for that is simple.
01:08:50Soldier ants can dig tunnels all the way to the first layer.
01:08:54Come on, Abel. It's not very nice for veteran adventurers to be picking on rookies.
01:08:59I'm picking on them?
01:09:00I was just offering pertinent insight to assuage their worries.
01:09:04The three of you are Ryo's roommates, right?
01:09:07I'm Abel.
01:09:09Ryo may be strong, but he's a bit of an oddball, so thanks for looking out for him.
01:09:13Abel? Are you trying to pick a fight?
01:09:16Hold on. The Abel?
01:09:18Abel is in the Crimson Sword?
01:09:20Ah!
01:09:21Um, Mr. Abel! Sir! I'm a swordsman named Nils!
01:09:24I'm only an African adventurer who just arrived in Lune, but you're my hero!
01:09:28It would be the honor of my life if I could shake your hand!
01:09:31Oh? Sure thing. Keep it up.
01:09:34But don't overdo it, alright?
01:09:36Staying alive is your foremost duty. Don't ever forget that.
01:09:40Of course, sir! Thank you for the advice!
01:09:42So, what brings you to the guild hall this late, anyway?
01:09:46Ah! The quest we were completing took longer than expected.
01:09:50We actually only just now returned to Lune.
01:09:53Ah! We were looking all over for you, Abel!
01:09:56Come on! We were supposed to report to the guild master right away!
01:10:00Quit stalling!
01:10:01Ah! But I... I was just trying to do my duty as a veteran to guide some new adventurers.
01:10:06Warren!
01:10:10Ah! What the heck are you doing? Really, Warren?
01:10:13Pull me down! I can walk on my own!
01:10:15Ryo! Help me! Say something!
01:10:17Come on! Don't just stare!
01:10:19Um, can I help you?
01:10:24Lynn?
01:10:24Coming.
01:10:26We're terribly sorry.
01:10:27But we need to check in with the guild master right now,
01:10:30so I hope you won't mind if we take Abel for a little bit.
01:10:33Sure! I understand.
01:10:35He is the leader of the Crimson Sword.
01:10:37Dispose of him as you see fit.
01:10:39I heard that!
01:10:40Ryo, you traitor!
01:10:41Warren, I'm not kidding!
01:10:42I can't believe we got to see the Crimson Sword in person!
01:10:46Wow.
01:10:47Miss Ryo's like an actual angel.
01:10:50Oh, yeah.
01:10:51Mr. Abel is so cool.
01:10:52Huh?
01:10:53Were we watching the same thing just now?
01:10:57Lynn, you really shouldn't stare, you know.
01:11:00It's not my fault.
01:11:01I'm trying to see if Ryo really is an incredible magician.
01:11:05I bet you're curious about him, too.
01:11:07Well, even so, it's still rude.
01:11:10There's no rush.
01:11:11You'll see it soon enough.
01:11:13He's on another level.
01:11:15Still trying to sound cool, are we?
01:11:17Shut up!
01:11:21Come on, Ryo!
01:11:23Wait a sec!
01:11:24There's no need to hurry!
01:11:31Icicle Land Fork!
01:11:48I've got you now!
01:11:56Nicely done!
01:12:02Thanks.
01:12:03I couldn't do this without you.
01:12:07Something about your swordsmanship reminds me quite a bit of Abel's.
01:12:11Did you say you learned from a former adventurer in your village?
01:12:14Yes, that's right.
01:12:15My teacher's a tough old man who goes by the name Kiro.
01:12:19Let's see.
01:12:20He studied swordsmanship at a school in the royal capital.
01:12:24It's some sort of famous style.
01:12:26From the Hume school, I think.
01:12:28That's what I use.
01:12:30I see.
01:12:31I'm sure you'll get even stronger once you drill those fundamentals into your bones.
01:12:35That's the same way Abel is.
01:12:38You seem to know a lot about swordplay for a magician, Ryo.
01:12:41Have you studied fighting as well?
01:12:43Well, I had a mentor who had practiced with me a long time ago, but...
01:12:48Since my style is original, I wouldn't say I know that much about it.
01:12:52Were you able to catch your breath yet?
01:12:54Yes, I did!
01:12:55I'm fine now.
01:12:56There's no need to push yourself too hard.
01:12:58Your fighting style seems pretty exhausting.
01:13:01Guess I never thought of that before.
01:13:04It's fine.
01:13:05Once you learn how to master it, it'll keep you safe from getting injured.
01:13:09You should focus on increasing your stamina, and the best way to do that is by running.
01:13:13Oh, that makes sense.
01:13:15Taking the time to do that consistently will be your surest path to improvement.
01:13:20You know, I traveled with Abel for a good while.
01:13:24He'd get up to practice his form first thing in the morning without fail.
01:13:29He may be gifted with a sword, but even the gifted need to be diligent.
01:13:34Abel really does that?
01:13:36I can do it!
01:13:37I'm ready to put in every bit as much effort as he did!
01:13:41That's the spirit!
01:13:45Well, if you'll excuse me.
01:13:47Huh?
01:13:48I thought you were heading to the dungeon today.
01:13:50Nah.
01:13:51I've got other stuff to do.
01:14:09Would this be your first time visiting our library?
01:14:12Indeed.
01:14:13I have no idea how I'll be able to find anything in here, though.
01:14:18I recommend starting here if you're a beginner with no prior knowledge of alchemy.
01:14:23These books go into detail.
01:14:24Thank you so much.
01:14:27Looks like a guide to the basics and a book of recipes.
01:14:31Hmm.
01:14:32I think these should work.
01:14:38If I really want to learn all of this, I should buy my own copies.
01:14:42I wonder how much that'd cost me.
01:14:57An eclipse.
01:15:04What's this?
01:15:07Something's way off.
01:15:09The entire world feels like it's flipped upside down.
01:15:21What an incredible force.
01:15:24Oh, no.
01:15:26Hmm.
01:15:27Did I capture a human in here?
01:15:32You look like one.
01:15:34Though it hardly matters what you are if you're dead.
01:15:38Hmm.
01:15:45Horns and a tail?
01:15:46She's not an Akuma, is she?
01:15:48That'd make her equal to Behe or a Griffin.
01:15:51This is really bad.
01:15:52I'd better bolt.
01:15:53Thing is, I don't even know if I can get out of here.
01:15:59Ten-layer ice swamp!
01:16:10That's it!
01:16:11It's working!
01:16:18No way!
01:16:24You managed to defend yourself against my hellfire and my wind lance didn't even pierce you?
01:16:30Wait, those robes you're wearing!
01:16:33They're the fairy kings, aren't they?
01:16:36That explains everything.
01:16:38I have no choice but to cut you down myself, then.
01:16:42So today's the day...
01:16:44You beat your end!
01:16:58Too slow!
01:17:13She's fast!
01:17:15Does she use wind magic to move?
01:17:26I'm keeping up with her, though.
01:17:27If I stay on the defensive, I should be able to hold her off.
01:17:31These strikes are nothing compared to my teachers.
01:17:34I won't let her win.
01:17:36That sword's the fairy kings, too!
01:17:39Just who are you supposed to be, huh, kid?
01:17:45How are you casting your magic so fast?
01:17:48You're like a damn monster!
01:17:50That's rich coming from you.
01:17:52That's it.
01:17:53You're too dangerous.
01:17:55Die!
01:17:56Die!
01:17:57Die!
01:17:59Die!
01:18:05Die!
01:18:12They're all you've got!
01:18:15Die!
01:18:19Die!
01:18:21Die!
01:18:21Die!
01:18:25Die!
01:18:29You're done!
01:18:47She's healing fast!
01:18:52Don't you underestimate me!
01:19:09No!
01:19:11No!
01:19:11No!
01:19:41I'm out of time.
01:19:42I can't recall the last time I enjoyed a battle this much.
01:19:45I find you most entertaining, human.
01:19:48Would you get out of here already?
01:19:52Oh, please. You are enjoying yourself, too.
01:19:55And though I'd like to continue having fun with you,
01:19:58this cloister happens to be an extremely special space.
01:20:01One that I have little control of.
01:20:03What's that?
01:20:05Let me introduce myself as Leonor Uraka Albuquerque.
01:20:09And who might you be?
01:20:11Hey, my name's Ryo.
01:20:14Akuma.
01:20:15Akuma?
01:20:16Ah, so you know our true form.
01:20:19Seems I should have done whatever I could to kill you after all.
01:20:23But then again, you don't seem like a foe I'll be able to defeat under a time limit.
01:20:29So be it.
01:20:30Until we meet again, Ryo.
01:20:33I think I prefer we don't.
01:20:36Oh, come now.
01:20:38I've seen the strength and power harbored within you.
01:20:41It's inevitable that we'll face each other again.
01:20:44Whether it's me or another one of us.
01:20:47Us who?
01:20:49Don't you die by anyone else's hands.
01:20:52Your life is solely mine.
01:20:54I'll be stronger the next time we meet Ryo.
01:20:57That much I can promise you.
01:21:01Farewell until then.
01:21:07I can't believe I'm still alive.
01:21:10If it wasn't for this robe, I'd have a massive hole in my shoulder.
01:21:15Ugh.
01:21:16And my head's still spinning from trying to keep up with our moves.
01:21:20Guess I can go buy those books now.
01:21:23I'll need to take some money out.
01:21:27I had no idea my account had that much in it already.
01:21:31The guildmaster said he'd exchange the wyvern magic stone we brought,
01:21:34but was a single stone really worth that much?
01:21:38I won't have to worry about money for a while.
01:21:41No need to work myself sweaty just to earn a decent living.
01:21:45Man, I feel like the luckiest guy ever.
01:21:48No one's made it back from training yet?
01:21:52I was hoping to get my shoulder worked on,
01:21:54but I'll just head to the bookstore first.
01:21:58Oh, who's that?
01:22:00If we weren't so freaking exhausted,
01:22:02you jerks would be in for the beating of your lives, you hear?
01:22:06It's almost endearing you're still trying to sound tough after that.
01:22:09Big talk for someone that had to ambush us.
01:22:11Come on.
01:22:12What a joke.
01:22:13I hope you're not serious,
01:22:14because you're in for a bad time if you're expecting monsters in a dungeon
01:22:18to give you a heads up before they attack.
01:22:20He's right, you know.
01:22:21Lower your guard at your own peril.
01:22:26Rio!
01:22:27You know, I guess I helped you prove your point.
01:22:30I mean, you didn't expect me to warn you before I attacked, did you?
01:22:34Of course not, right?
01:22:36You bastard.
01:22:37That's Dan.
01:22:38He's from room one.
01:22:40Ah, you're Dan, huh?
01:22:42So what's next?
01:22:43Will you tuck your tail between your legs and run away with your little pack?
01:22:46Screw you!
01:22:50That's gonna hurt real bad.
01:22:53Sorry, I think my near-death experience got me a bit too worked up.
01:22:59Since you're a priest, how about we let you take this potion first?
01:23:03I appreciate it.
01:23:04Well, you have been joining Amun for his morning runs.
01:23:07The least I can do is help you out.
01:23:09It's all good.
01:23:10Sure, that might be true, but still, this kills me.
01:23:13Looks like everyone here should focus on building up their stamina.
01:23:16Huh?
01:23:17I know.
01:23:18Since I'm exhausted too, why don't we go recuperate?
01:23:22Mother Goddess, please, lend me your healing hand.
01:23:27Lesser Heal.
01:23:33The pain's completely gone.
01:23:35You really are a good priest.
01:23:37I appreciate it.
01:23:38Thankfully, the bone wasn't broken, but you were hit with some serious impact.
01:23:43You would have died if it struck your heart.
01:23:45So what happened?
01:23:47It actually was aimed at my heart, but I dodged it by the skin of my teeth at the last
01:23:50second.
01:23:51I still can't believe I pulled it off.
01:23:53Wait, you barely dodged it even though you're that strong?
01:23:56What exactly did you fight?
01:23:59Well, if I ever get the chance, I'll tell you all about it sometime.
01:24:04Leonore drove me into a corner, and then I bullied a group of F-rank adventurers.
01:24:09I'm not looking so hot today.
