Short filmTranscript
00:05I've 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! The team is forever! Everyone, quickly take cover!
01:27Why would you do this?
01:28Why? Because you are stupid. You're tedious.
01:31Oh, dear sister. Premiere in the Academy, and still, no one wants you.
01:37Don't waste your time on her. Even looking at her makes me sick.
01:41Compared to you, she's nothing.
01:42Pathetic. See? Elias has always chosen me, no matter how much you did for him.
01:47Farewell, sister.
01:58Aliens. Hilda. I curse you both.
02:01If I get another chance, I will not let this happen.
02:14Everyone is still here.
02:16Good. That's good. That's good.
02:19As tradition dictates, I now proclaim the decennial bonding ceremony of Beast Word Academy underway.
02:27I have returned. To the day it all started.
02:33Fire Dragon. He boasts a pure bloodline unseen in a decade.
02:40Elaine 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 refuse 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. It's just...
03:06I've never seen such a magnificent creature. And 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. In 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!
04:08Right! 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.
04:20The 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.
04:42Hunting man-eaters.
04:44Just 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.
05:30No!
05:36Elaine?
05:39Elaine?
05:41Professor?
05:47A familiar shares its master's magic, you and Aelius.
05:51You would have made an unstoppable pairing.
05:53But as you saw, Professor, he has no desire to bond with me.
05:57A beast's will can be guided.
05:59I shall speak with Hilda again and have Elidus return to...
06:02Professor, I seek no mighty instrument of power, but a true companion.
06:10He is not so bad, after all.
06:15Fine. But remember, the Beastward Trials is in three months.
06:19Academy's judgment is absolute.
06:21Any beast that falls short of the standard will be stripped from its master.
06:39Oh, Elaine. If you truly wanted Aelius, why didn't you just ask?
06:44What?
06:44No.
06:46Weren't you begging him? Hoping the Professor hand Aelius back to you?
06:50Ridiculous.
06:53My dearest sister. I'd love to return him, but...
06:59He refuses to leave with you. Drop the act, Hilda.
07:02I have no interest in your precious mount. Save that energy for the Trials.
07:07Speaking of the Trials, I have to apologize in advance.
07:12When Aelius makes me the new premier, 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. But can your little worm even survive three months?
07:49The Trials
07:49The Trials
08:00So you would defend your master, Aelius? You just detest me?
08:03Elaine, the fire dragon is Academy's most precious beast in a decade. You will be punished if you hurt him
08:09So my serpent deserves to die. It's just a lowly half-breed. There are hundreds like it in the beast
08:13pavilion
08:14No wonder last time he died at your hands in just a year
08:23Hilda, where is your familiar?
08:25It was too frail. It couldn't survive. I tried everything I could to save him
08:30What did you try? What potions? What healing spells?
08:34I... you're an apprentice of Beastword Academy, and you don't even know basic of beast care?
08:40How dare you question her?
08:52Alasius, you never answer my summons, yet here you are for Hilda. Have you forgotten who your master is?
08:57I share no bond with you
09:01You! It's my fault
09:04It's her I refuse to acknowledge
09:07Halt! At the Premier, I speak for the Dean himself. I order you to stay, Hilda
09:13As you wish, Elaine
09:14For your incompetence and the death of your familiar
09:17I sentence you to the Outer Valley to clear out the Trolls
09:20No! I can't, can't do that. Please, please
09:24Do not panic, Hilda. I will come with you. My flames will be your shield
09:28I gathered Essence all on my own. A thousand times. All for you. And you never came. Not once
09:38As 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. Perfect match. I hope you can last five minutes in the
09:47trials
09:48Keep yourself and your mountain check, Hilda. Next time, it won't be just a splash of water
10:02Welcome home, little one
10:04Deep wounds, feigning manor
10:06And yet you're still holding on? You'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? Aren't you afraid I'll poison you and find a better familiar
10:37Tiny tail with a giant temper
10:39Rest easy. If I could afford a leech like Alias, I can certainly take care of you
10:59An adept mage? At least level seven? Maybe eight? Right beside me, and I never sensed him
11:06Who are you?
11:11Behave yourself! This is the Beastwit Academy
11:16You have two
11:19Male serpent
11:20We 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? Impossible! You were dying! How can you take human form?
11:45That was just a disguise for my enemies
11:47I was wounded, and your professor happened to drag me into that... ceremony
11:51Enemies? Are they still after you?
11:56I just got rid of Alias! I 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 on our
12:24very first day
12:26The bond is sealed, I'm your servant now, master
12:32Keep up with me, master
12:34I'd hate to leave you behind
12:44Take care
12:45Bye
12:54Go
12:55So
12:55quirks
12:59You
12:59Don't
13:00M
13:00De
13:00I
13:02Okay
13:06You master water. I wield wind. They are naturally bound. Now, follow my rhythm. Try to channel
13:15the water elements. Focus. I feel... Much stronger? Precisely. That's the bond working. My strength
13:36is yours. Give it three months, you'll stand far above your peers. We must beat that wicked
13:41fire drag in the Beastwood Trials. Then work harder. You can admire me after we win.
13:47Admire? Don't flatter yourself.
13:59Unleash your full strike.
14:12This is... the power of a level 7 major.
14:27This is all the Academy's quota. I gave it all to you. What am I supposed to use?
14:39It's coming from Elaine's cottage.
14:43She got unwanted mixed-blood-feathered Spurpin. How could she be this strong?
14:53Everyone knows mages share mana with their Fafilias. With that half-dead hybrid worm, there's
14:59no way Elaine could manage that. Elaine is gifted and hardworking. It's not impossible.
15:03Right. And your dragon is still... the same size?
15:16Stand down. Strong enough to crush you at the Trials.
15:25I need to find out if that was really Elaine.
15:43Hide! Don't let anyone see you can shift form. Go!
15:49Elaine.
15:51I'm here to apologize.
15:53I shouldn't have let Alias ruin our sisterhood.
15:55Sisterhood?
15:56It was nothing but a lie that cost me my past life.
16:00Save it, Hilda.
16:01Elaine, do you really have to be like this? Before Alirius, you always got the best of
16:05everything.
16:06Stop the fake lines, Hilda. What do you actually want?
16:08I was just wondering, how's your training? I saw massive waves on the lake. Was that you?
16:13No, of course not. Only a level 7 maze could perform something like that.
16:17Rot with your overgrown lizard.
16:27See? It's still weak. Leave us alone.
16:32Actually, I need a favor. Help me raise Alilius, Elaine. I really can't do this without you.
16:41Excuse me?
16:46The Beastwood Academy exists to forge powerful familiars. As the premier, it is your duty to help Alatius.
16:54Stop pretending you care. You just realized you can't feed his hunger, didn't you?
16:58Dear sister, your tiny worm will never take human form. Why throw your gifts away on a filthy creature of
17:06the mud?
17:06You should be supporting Arius.
17:09Don't dare me. Leave. Now.
17:21Then rot with your mixed breeds, scum! In three months, you will regret everything about today!
17:32Trust me. She is the one who shall regret it.
17:36Good morning! May the elements empower the Beastwood Academy.
17:43Let the trials begin!
17:49Participation is mandatory for every bonded apprentice.
17:51This will determine your family's rank, the Academy resources, and the title of Premier Apprentice.
18:02Familiars differ in innate ability.
18:05What determines a passing grade is your bond.
18:08The pillar reflects the shared manner and bond between Master and Beast.
18:16Now, step onto the platform and prove the worth of your past three months.
18:46D for a distinct male.
19:01C for a close miss.
19:17B. A pass, but below expectations.
19:22B. A for Alessa and her ally.
19:38Well done.
19:47Have you seen Elaine?
19:48She's in seclusion.
19:50Maybe she's just scared.
19:51Don't be absurd.
19:52Don'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.
20:36It's not over yet.
20:51It's over yet.
21:04By the elements, it'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.
21:20She has only herself to blame.
21:21You're all taking Hildy's side now?
21:22Have you forgotten who actually helped?
21:23Last favors don't win battles.
21:25Powerless means useless.
21:28Professor Talon, is there anyone left to take the trial?
21:32Only Elaine and her familiar.
21:35We will wait.
21:37My sister is too proud to bear losing her position as a premier.
21:40She's probably too ashamed to come at all.
21:42Elaine never runs away.
21:44There must be a reason.
21:45She realized the gap between us.
21:48That's the reason.
21:55Aleylius is stronger than them all.
21:57He possesses the power to protect and to lead.
22:05Once I am premier, Aleylius' full power will be unleashed.
22:10The whole kingdom of Burn will respect Beastwood Academy.
22:28Elaine is here.
22:31But...
22:31Where is her snake?
22:39Nyxen, come forth.
23:04He 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.
23:18Three months and you're still holding that worm.
23:22It's pathetic.
23:24Elaine, what is this?
23:26Have you been training him at all?
23:27I have.
23:28Trust me, Professor.
23:29Professor, this is pointless.
23:31Declare their failure now.
23:32It'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, I know it's hard to accept, but 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.
23:53Let me correct you.
24:24That worm!
24:27Huh!
24:29Oh!
24:30Oh!ę ē¤¼!
24:30It takes a premier at least 10 years to guide a familiar towards a human.
24:34You've performed a miracle, Elena.
24:37Impossible!
24:39Elarious is the strongest!
24:53Don't hurt them!
24:59No!
25:01You must have cheated!
25:03Elaine, the pillar will never acknowledge you!
25:25The pillar is no longer able to contain the scale of your bond,
25:29nor the mana you share.
25:32Nyxen is the strongest femulation in the history of this academy.
25:37He is beyond measure!
25:43I made the right choice in choosing Nyxen.
25:53That's not him!
25:54That's not the same creature from the bonding ceremony!
25:57It is him.
25:58It is him.
25:58Always has been.
25:59Don't forget you were the one who said we were a perfect match.
26:02He was dying.
26:04No, Elaine, it was you!
26:06You knew he was powerful all along!
26:09You stole him on purpose!
26:12Stop fooling yourself.
26:14Stop fooling yourself.
26:14Nyxen was mortally wounded.
26:16Even if you had taken him, with the meagre mana you have, you could never keep him alive.
26:21I belong only to you.
26:25I said if, Nyxen.
26:28I... I just didn't expect him to take human form!
26:31You kept this secret just for humiliating me in front of everyone!
26:36I am not like you, Hilda.
26:38I wouldn't covet what isn't mine.
26:43This is only the first of many defeats.
26:46Get used to it.
26:50Trying to speak?
26:53But you don't even have a human voice yet.
27:03Trials are competitive by now.
27:05By nature.
27:06But not at the expense of your bond as sisters.
27:11Perhaps this is a chance to rebuild your sisterhood.
27:15After all, you are both exceptional.
27:17What?
27:18That's not fair!
27:19Elaine and Nyxen are miles ahead of them!
27:22Professor, perhaps you'll reconsider once 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, check Hilda's mana level.
27:43Please.
27:48Level two?
27:50No progress in three months!
27:53If she's level two, then 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.
28:05I refuse to let her leech off of me this time.
28:08So who else was left to bleed?
28:11Professor, Alias' growth is strange.
28:13Perhaps the resource logs might tell us why.
28:19Hilda, in 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.
28:39But Elaine has reached level seven!
28:43Hilda, you are disqualified from the trials.
28:47The excess resources will be deducted from your future allowance.
28:51The position of Premier Apprentice remains with Elaine Tideswan.
29:03Elaine, 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.
29:26Tainted beasts lose their sanity, turning into man-eaters.
29:29A nine-tailed Vorkref has been spotted here.
29:32We must bring it back before it's fully corrupted.
29:35Professor Willow will come with you.
29:36This is why I urged you to choose the Fire Drakon.
29:39We need powerful Beastmasters for what's coming.
29:42I have reasons, Professor.
29:44And I hope you'll be careful with him as well.
29:46Why?
29:51I don't have substantial proof yet.
29:53Then you should guide Hilda.
29:55The infiltration is accelerating and we-
29:57Professor.
29:58The nine-tailed Volpel owns the priority now.
30:01I will bring it back.
30:02Your parents died in a similar riot back then.
30:04I've always felt it all happen too sudden and unnatural.
30:20I never understood what Alias had done.
30:23We had no bond.
30:25He could have simply killed me and taken Hilga.
30:27Why destroy the entire Academy?
30:29It 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
31:02it for me.
31:02Now I have to come all this way myself.
31:05This 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 favour to the Academy if you would.
31:16My, my Elaine.
31:17Your little slither is quite clingy, isn't he?
31:30Nyxen.
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.
31:48Once I eat the fox, your bond is still only mine.
32:17You hit me for that furball?
32:19Professor Talon entrusted this Vulpry to me.
32:22If you lay a finger on it, I will never forgive you.
32:32Elaine, what brings you here?
32:34Where is Hilda?
32:38She took Alias to the valley.
32:40For training, I guess.
32:41She's been acting weird since the trials.
32:44The valley.
32:45It's strictly off-limits.
32:46What is she doing there?
32:52I 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?
33:08Go outside?!
33:09Are you insane?!
33:10I'm a level two, I'd be eaten alive!
33:12Are you trying to kill me?!
33:16Human form?
33:17With what?
33:18We have no quata left.
33:19I can't pull essence out of thin air.
33:20If you're looking for someone to blame, blame Elaine!
33:23Her serpent is already speaking, with a human voice.
33:26And you, all you do is scribble with your claws.
33:27In my past life, he wouldn't give me a single look.
33:31Now, look at him.
33:33Writing for Hilda stroke by stroke.
33:36It was a long way to find you, Hilda.
33:41Elaine?
33:42You...
33:43Why are you here?
