00:05I finally got the 10,000th, Elias will be so pleased.
00:18Elias, the 10,000th level 8 essence. Today's the day you take human form.
00:27You have no idea how dangerous it was-
00:38We can form the bond now, can't we?
00:40Thank you, sister.
00:45Hilda.
00:47Thanks to 10 years of your devotion, we couldn't have bonded without you.
00:58Supreme essence!
01:01How dare you keep this from me all along!
01:04No! The Academy's shield relies on it!
01:10No!
01:16No!
01:16No!
01:21No!
01:29No!
01:48No!
01:48No!
01:48No!
01:50No!
01:51No!
01:52No!
01:56No!
01:58No!
02:02No!
02:03No!
02:04No!
02:05No!
02:06No!
02:07No!
02:07No!
02:09No!
02:10No!
02:12No!
02:14Everyone is still here.
02:16Good.
02:17That's good.
02:18That's good.
02:18As tradition dictates, I now proclaim the decennial bonding ceremony of Beast Word Academy underway.
02:29I have returned to the day it all started.
02:33Fire Dragon, he boasts a pure bloodline unseen in a decade.
02:39Elaine Tidesong, as our premier apprentice, you are the only one fit to master him.
02:47Though he is not easily tame.
02:50The Fire Dragon just refused her?
02:51He is of noble blood, proud beyond measure, but there's no one better than Elaine.
02:55Hilda, step away, it's dangerous!
03:03Professor, I know I'm nothing compared to my sister.
03:05It's just, I've never seen such a magnificent creature.
03:08And he seems to like me more?
03:11Professor Talon, since their hearts are already entwined, let them have each other.
03:16What? She's a mere initiate!
03:17I will not bond with the Fire Dragon.
03:19In fact, my choice lies...
03:24Feathered serpent!
03:25A lowly half-breed?
03:39Professor Talon, since the Fire Dragon refused to serve as my mount, I shall take this little serpent.
03:45Elaine, you're the premier! Only the Fire Dragon is worthy of you!
03:49Such lowly beast isn't even worthy of being the Fire Dragon's lackey!
03:53Professor, my decision stands.
03:55Then it's done. The Fire Dragon goes to Hilda.
03:59In three months, the Beastware Trials will judge your progress with the utmost rigor.
04:04Hilda, how could you do that? The Fire Dragon was meant for Elaine!
04:07Right! How can you steal from your own sister?
04:10I didn't. He chose me first.
04:17Brilliant. With that Fire Dragon, she'll be our new premier by morning.
04:20Hmph. The newest initiate, and yet she scoops the finest prize in the hall.
04:25A treacherous beast was never a good choice.
04:28In my past life, Alias was just as arrogant.
04:32He refused to forge the bond with me.
04:37To feed his growth, I risked death on every hunt, hunting man-eaters, just to secure the beast essence.
04:49He never once spared a glass for my wounds.
04:53He only had eyes for what he needed.
05:04When I was away, Hilda would come to him.
05:06I knew.
05:08I told myself she was just trying to help.
05:11But I never expected them to be this cruel.
05:19In this life, I won't let them betray me.
05:22Not again.
05:25I won't let them betray me.
05:30No!
05:32No!
05:34No!
05:34No!
05:34No!
05:35No!
05:37Elaine?
05:39Elaine?
05:40Elaine?
05:41Professor?
05:42Hmph.
05:46A familiar shares its master's magic.
05:49You and Alias.
05:51You would have made an unstoppable pairing.
05:53But as you saw, Professor, he has no desire to bond with him.
05:57A beast's will can be guided.
05:59I shall speak with Hilda again and have Alidas return to-
06:02Professor.
06:02I seek no mighty instrument of power, but a true companion.
06:10He is not so bad, after all.
06:14Fine.
06:15But remember, the beastward trials is in three months.
06:18Academy's judgment is absolute.
06:21Any beast that falls short of the standard will be stripped from its master.
06:39Oh, Elaine.
06:41If you truly wanted Alias, why didn't you just ask?
06:44What?
06:44No!
06:45Weren't you begging him?
06:46Hoping the Professor hand Alias back to you?
06:50Ridiculous.
06:53My dearest sister...
06:54I'd love to return him, but...
06:59He refuses to leave with you.
07:01Drop the act, Hilda.
07:03I have no interest in your precious mount.
07:05Save that energy for the trials.
07:07Speaking of the trials...
07:09I have to apologize in advance.
07:12When Alias makes me the new premiere, where will that leave you?
07:22This time, let me see how Hilda gets this bloodsucker to take human form without me.
07:27Only if you can afford him.
07:32Of course I can!
07:34But can your little worm even survive three months?
07:59So you would defend your master, Alias?
08:02You just detest me?
08:04Elaine!
08:04The Fire Dragon is Academy's most precious beast in a decade!
08:07You will be punished if you hurt him!
08:09So my serpent deserves to die?
08:10It's just a lowly half-breed.
08:12There are hundreds like it in the Beast Pavilion.
08:14No wonder last time, he died at your hands in just a year.
08:22Hilda!
08:23Where is your familiar?
08:25It was too frail.
08:27It couldn't survive.
08:28I tried everything I could to save him.
08:30What did you try?
08:31What potions?
08:33What healing spells?
08:33I...
08:34I...
08:35I...
08:35You're an apprentice of Beast Word Academy.
08:37And you don't even know basic of beast care?
08:40How dare you question her!
08:44Please?
08:51Hilda!
08:52You never answered my summons, yet here you are for Hilda.
08:55Have you forgotten who your master is?
08:57I share no bond with you.
09:01You!
09:02It's my fault!
09:03It's her I refuse to acknowledge.
09:07Halt!
09:08At the Premiere I speak for the Dean himself.
09:10I order you to stay, Hilda.
09:13As you wish, Elaine.
09:15For your incompetence and the death of your familiar,
09:17I sentence you to the Outer Valley to clear out the trolls.
09:21No.
09:22I can't, can't do that.
09:23Please, please.
09:24Do not panic, Hilda.
09:25I will come with you.
09:26My flames will be your shield.
09:28I gathered essence all on my own.
09:30A thousand times.
09:31All for you.
09:32And you never came.
09:33Not once.
09:37As long as he chooses me and stands by my side.
09:40I will treat him right in return.
09:42A fallen premier and a mutt from the gutter.
09:45Perfect match.
09:46I hope you can last five minutes in the trials.
09:48Keep yourself and your mountain check, Hilda.
09:50Next time, it won't be just a splash of water.
10:02Welcome home, little one.
10:04Deep wounds.
10:05Feigning manor.
10:06And yet you're still holding on?
10:08You're a stubborn little thing, aren't you?
10:12These feathers, just like raven wings.
10:15Curious.
10:16What kind of hybrid are you?
10:26Making yourself at home, are you?
10:28Aren't you afraid I'll poison you and find a better familiar?
10:37Tiny tail with a giant temper.
10:39Rest easy.
10:40If I could afford a leech like Alias, I can certainly take care of you.
10:58An adept mage, at least level seven, maybe eight.
11:03Right beside me.
11:04And I never sensed him.
11:06Who are you?
11:10Behave yourself.
11:12This is the Beastwit Academy.
11:16You have two.
11:19Male serpent.
11:21We all have two down there.
11:24Serpent.
11:25You're the feathered serpent?
11:31Don't you dare stand up!
11:33Oh, that's rude.
11:35I have a name.
11:37Nyxen.
11:40You're the little serpent from yesterday?
11:42Impossible!
11:43You were dying!
11:44How can you take human form?
11:45That was just a disguise for my enemies.
11:47I was wounded.
11:48And your professor happened to drag me into that... ceremony.
11:52Enemies?
11:53Are they still after you?
11:56I just got rid of Alias!
11:58I won't trade one nightmare for another!
12:16Ten years of devotion won me nothing from Alias, yet Nyxen, he laid the bond upon my heart
12:23on our very first day.
12:26The bond is sealed.
12:28I'm your servant now, Master.
12:32Keep up with me, Master.
12:34I'd hate to leave you behind.
13:04I'd hate to leave you behind.
13:06You master water, I wield wind.
13:09They are naturally bound.
13:12Now, follow my rhythm.
13:14Try to channel the water elements.
13:16Focus.
13:29I feel...
13:31Much stronger?
13:33Precisely.
13:34That's the bond working.
13:36My strength is yours.
13:37Give it three months, you'll stand far above your peers.
13:40We must beat that wicked fire drag in the Beastwood Trials.
13:43Then work harder.
13:44You can admire me after we win.
13:47Admire?
13:47Don't flatter yourself.
13:59Unleash your full strike.
14:12This is...
14:14This is...
14:14The power of a level 7 major.
14:27This is all the Academy's quota.
14:28I gave it all to you.
14:30What am I supposed to use?
14:39It's coming from Elaine's cottage.
14:43She got unwanted mixed blood-feathered Spurpin.
14:45How can she be this strong?
14:53Everyone knows mages share mana with their fulfillers.
14:56With that half-dead hybrid worm, there's no way Elaine could manage that.
15:01Elaine is gifted and hard-working.
15:02It's not impossible.
15:03Right.
15:03And your dragon is still...
15:05The same size?
15:16Stand down.
15:19Strong enough to crush you at the Trials.
15:25I need to find out if that was really Elaine.
15:44Don't let anyone see you can shift form.
15:46Go.
15:48Elaine.
15:51I'm here to apologize.
15:53I shouldn't have let Alias ruin our sisterhood.
15:56Sisterhood?
15:56It was nothing but a lie that cost me my past life.
16:00Save it, Hilda.
16:02Elaine, do you really have to be like this?
16:03Before Alirius, you always got the best of everything.
16:06Stop the fake lines, Hilda.
16:07What do you actually want?
16:08I was just wondering, how's your training?
16:10I saw massive waves on the lake.
16:12Was that you?
16:13No, of course not.
16:14Only a level 7 maze could perform something like that.
16:17Rot with your overgrown lizard.
16:27See?
16:28It's still weak.
16:30Leave us alone.
16:32Actually, I need a favor.
16:35Help me raise Alilius, Elaine.
16:38I really can't do this without you.
16:41Excuse me?
16:46The Beastwood Academy exists to forge powerful familiars.
16:49As the premier, it is your duty to help Alatius.
16:54Stop pretending you care.
16:56You just realized you can't feed his hunger, didn't you?
16:58Dear sister,
16:59your tiny worm will never take human form.
17:02Why throw your gifts away on a filthy creature of the mud?
17:06You should be supporting Arius.
17:09Don't dare me.
17:10Leave.
17:12Now.
17:21Then rot with your mixed breeds, scum!
17:23In three months, you will regret everything about today!
17:32Trust me.
17:33She is the one who shall regret it.
17:36Good morning!
17:38May the elements empower the Beastwood Academy.
17:43Let the trials begin!
17:49Participation is mandatory for every bonded apprentice.
17:52This will determine your familiar's rank,
17:54the academy resources,
17:56and the title of premier apprentice.
18:01Familiars differ in innate ability.
18:05What determines a passing grade is your bond.
18:09The pillar reflects the shared manner and bond
18:12between master and beast.
18:16Now, step onto the platform
18:19and prove the worth of your past three months.
18:22The last three months
18:23and prove the worth of your past three months.
19:01C for a close miss.
19:04C for a close miss.
19:17B. A pass, but below expectations.
19:21B. A pass, but below expectations.
19:21C for a close miss!
19:35A. A for Alessa and her ally.
19:38Well done.
19:47Have you seen Elaine?
19:49She's in seclusion.
19:50Maybe she's just scared.
19:51Don't be absurd.
19:54Look.
20:05How did he get this big in three months?
20:19No suspense left.
20:21Hilda is going to be the new premier.
20:23How can you say that?
20:25Elaine hasn't even shown up yet.
20:27Just stating facts.
20:28How could Elaine's mudsnake compare to a fire dragon?
20:31It's not over yet.
20:33What?
20:35What?
21:04By the elements.
21:06It's an S for a supreme beast.
21:11The strongest familiar in a decade!
21:13She is way, way stronger than her sister now.
21:16It's the fire dragon! Nothing to do with her!
21:18Elaine could have had the dragon. She has only herself to blame.
21:21You're all taking Hildy's side now? Have you forgotten who actually helped?
21:23Last favors don't win battles. Powerless means useless.
21:29Professor Taylan, is there anyone left to take the trial?
21:32Only Elaine and her familiar. We will wait.
21:36My sister is too proud to bear losing her position as premier.
21:40She's probably too ashamed to come at all.
21:43Elaine never runs away. There must be a reason.
21:45She realized the gap between us. That's the reason.
21:54Elaine is stronger than them all.
21:57He possesses the power to protect and to lead.
22:05Once I am premier, Aelius' full power will be unleashed.
22:09The whole kingdom of Burn will respect Beast World Academy!
22:18The whole kingdom of Burn will respect Beast World Academy!
22:39Aelius' full power will respect Beast World Academy!
22:40Come forth.
23:03He hasn't grown an inch.
23:06Can they even make the pillar flicker?
23:09Elaine is finished!
23:15Elaine, you knew you'd be a joke.
23:17Three months and you're still holding that worm.
23:22It's pathetic.
23:24Elaine, what is this?
23:25Have you been training him at all?
23:27I have. Trust me, Professor.
23:29Professor, this is pointless.
23:31Declare their failure now. It'll save everyone's time.
23:34Elaine, perhaps he'll be a bit bigger by next year.
23:37Every bonded apprentice must attend.
23:39Rules are rules, Professor.
23:41Dear sister,
23:42I know it's hard to accept,
23:43but don't worry.
23:44Alias and I will protect you.
23:46No need.
23:50You're under the delusion that you're the strongest one here.
23:52Let me correct you.
23:54Come on!
24:01Hey!
24:08Oh!
24:10Hey!
24:14Hey!
24:16Hey!
24:16Hey!
24:16Hey!
24:17Hey!
24:19Hey!
24:21Well then...
24:25that that worm it can take human form unbelievable it takes a premier at least
24:3110 years to guide a familiar towards a human you've performed a miracle elaine
24:38impossible alerius is the strongest
24:53don't hurt them
25:00no you must have cheated elaine the pillar will never acknowledge you
25:25the pillar is no longer able to contain the scale of your bond nor the mana you share
25:31nixon is the strongest femulation in the history of this academy
25:36he is beyond measure
25:43i made the right choice in choosing nixon
25:53that's not him that's not the same creature from the bonding ceremony
25:57it is him always has been don't forget you were the one who said we were a perfect match
26:02he was dying no elaine it was you you knew he was powerful all along
26:09you stole him on purpose stop fooling yourself nixon was mortally wounded
26:16even if you had taken him with the meager mana you have you could never keep him alive
26:21i belong i belong only to you i said if nixon i i just didn't expect him to take human
26:30form you kept this secret just for humiliating me in front of everyone i am not like you hilda i
26:39wouldn't covet what isn't mine
26:43this is only the first of many defeats get used to it
26:50trying to speak
27:03trials are competitive by nature but not at the expense of your bond as sisters
27:11perhaps this is a chance to rebuild your sisterhood after all you are both exceptional
27:17what that's not fair elaine and nixon are miles ahead of them
27:21professor
27:23perhaps you'll reconsider
27:25once you know what hilda has been hiding from you
27:33elaine explain yourself
27:35she's talking nonsense
27:37i'm not hiding anything
27:39professor
27:41check hilda's manor level
27:42please
27:48level two
27:50no progress in three months
27:52if she's level two
27:54then where did all that mina come from
27:56was the pillar broken
28:00help me raise alias elaine
28:02i really can't do this without you
28:04i refuse to let her leech off of me this time
28:08so who else was left to bleed
28:10professor
28:11alias's growth is strange
28:13perhaps the resource logs might tell us why
28:19hilda
28:20in three months you have claimed 14 extra essence rations as a premier candidate
28:25that is triple the allowed limit
28:27i did it for the academy
28:29alias is so strong i just wanted him to reach his full potential faster
28:33and yet you remain at level two
28:35not a single drop of that essence was used on yourself
28:38but elaine has reached
28:40level seven
28:43hilda
28:44you are disqualified from the trials
28:46the excess resources will be deducted from your future allowance
28:50the position of premier apprentice remains with elaine tideswong
29:04elaine you stay
29:14i'm pleased with the trial results today
29:16but that's not the reason i asked you here
29:21disturbances are increasing at the borders
29:23dark forces are seeping into the wilds
29:25tainted beasts lose their sanity
29:27turning into man eaters
29:29a nine-tailed vorkroth has been spotted here
29:32we must bring it back before it's fully corrupted
29:34professor willow will come with you
29:36this is why i urged you to choose the fire draken
29:39we need powerful beast masters for what's coming
29:42i have reasons professor
29:43and i hope you'll be careful with him as well
29:46why
29:50i don't have substantial proof yet
29:53then you should guide hilda
29:54the infiltration is accelerating and we
29:57professor
29:58the nine-tailed vulpel owns the priority now
30:00i will bring it back
30:02your parents died in a similar riot back then
30:04i've always felt it all happened too sudden
30:06and unnatural
30:20i never understood what alias had done
30:23we had no bond he could have simply killed me and taken hilga
30:26why destroy the entire academy
30:28it wasn't freedom he wanted
30:31what is he really after
30:53elaine don't you think professor talon is being far too stringy
30:57i fell for this nine-tailed spirit fox the second i laid eyes on it yet he refused to hold
31:01it for me
31:02now i have to come all this way myself
31:04this nine-tailed spirit fox bears an exceptionally rare bloodline
31:08it's lethally dangerous in the wild and must be strictly contained
31:11do this as a favor to the academy if you would
31:16my my elaine
31:17your little slither is quite clingy isn't he
31:30nyxon
31:31what are you doing here
31:33hilda came to me today
31:36i sent her away
31:40scent of a fox
31:41we just secured premier's seat and you're already planning to find a familiar
31:44it was a mission from
31:47it's fine
31:47once i eat the fox
31:49your bond is still only mine
32:16you hit me for that fur ball
32:19professor talon entrusted this vulpree to me
32:22if you lay a finger on it i will never forgive you
32:31elaine
32:32what brings you here
32:34where is hilda
32:38she took alias to the valley
32:39for training i guess
32:41she's been acting weird since the trials
32:43the valley
32:44it's strictly off limits
32:46what is she doing there
32:51i told you
32:53that's away from me
32:55i'm not going anywhere
32:59don't stare at me like that
33:01the trial was not my fault
33:06hunt for essence
33:07go outside
33:09are you insane
33:10i'm a level two

33:12are you trying to kill me
33:16human form
33:17with what
33:18we have no quata left
