00:08Greetings, Majesty. Sorry to keep you waiting. This is my grandchild, Ernestie Echevalier.
00:15It's an honor to meet you, sire.
00:17The report said the child was a boy.
00:20It's true. I can prove it if required.
00:23Fearless and straightforward, despite his appearance. He is Lurie's.
00:27Thank you for inviting us, Your Majesty.
00:30I'm impressed. He's quite composed for someone his age. I wish more children showed such respect.
00:36I'm honored by your praise, Majesty.
00:39I'm sure by now you've wondered why I summoned you here, Ernestie.
00:43Your victory the other day was unexpected, to say the least, and presented quite the conundrum.
00:49I'm unsure how to reward you for it.
00:51Thank you. But Ernestie doesn't require a reward. He's still a child.
00:56Child or no, I cannot fail to compensate someone who defeats a behemoth single-handedly.
01:02What is it you desire? Name it, and it shall be yours.
01:08Anything?
01:10Calm down. He can't be asking me this out of goodwill. There's a motive.
01:15I should assume this is some sort of test on his part.
01:18Should I just say I don't need anything? Or throw caution to the wind?
01:22And if I choose the latter, what do I ask for? The latest model of Silhouette Knight?
01:29No. No. No, this is the chance of a lifetime.
01:33I should ask for something impossible to obtain. Something I'll never have another chance to get.
01:40In that case, I ask for this, sire. I want knowledge. Knowledge that can't be found in any books.
01:47Only you can grant this to me, sire. I want to know how to make an aether reactor. The heart
01:52of a knight.
01:56You ingrate! How dare you take advantage of the king's generosity! That is one of our country's greatest treasures! A
02:03secret kept for generating!
02:04Dixgard, that's quite enough.
02:06You are correct, young Eschervalier. I am the only one who can grant you such knowledge.
02:13But I must ask, what will you do once you've learned the mysteries of the knight's heart?
02:18Okay, this is it.
02:21As I'm sure you're aware, Majesty, I'm currently learning to be a knight runner at Lachial Academy.
02:26But my ultimate goal is, and has always been, to acquire my own unique Silhouette Knight.
02:32Now that's a wish I could easily grant. You should have asked for that instead of the Aether Reactor.
02:38Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I meant, I want to build my own Silhouette Knight. It won't be special unless
02:45I make it with my own hands.
02:47You believe you can make a Silhouette Knight from scratch?
02:50I do indeed.
02:51And why is this so important to you?
02:55Because... it's my hobby, sire.
03:07What a ridiculous answer. You surprise me, boy.
03:10And that is not an easy feat.
03:12Sorry. Please be merciful. I promise to give my grandson a stern talking to.
03:16Granted.
03:17The knowledge shall be yours.
03:20Majesty!
03:20However, slaying a mere behemoth is not enough to justify your request.
03:25If you truly want the Aether Reactor, you must first prove to me that you can make good use of
03:30its power.
03:31Okay, how would you like me to go about that, Your Majesty?
03:34Build your knight.
03:36Though for this challenge, you will merely need to create a chassis.
03:39If your new design impresses me and can satisfy my standards, then I will grant your wish, and your dream
03:45will be a reality.
03:47I won't fail you, sire!
03:52I won't fail you, sire!
03:57I won't fail you, sire!
04:19I will.
06:19This one goes here.
06:20That one goes there.
06:22If I see anyone slacking, you'll get my foot up your ass.
06:28What happened here?
06:33I just replaced this crystal tissue.
06:35It looks like it's been to hell and back.
06:38How did they put it through this much stress in one night?
06:42Beautiful.
06:43Even like this, they're elegant in their own way.
06:47The form collapses, and only the wreckage remains.
06:51This is true, refined beauty.
06:55And then, when you realize you're responsible for it, you're not sure whether to feel guilty or proud of the
07:01destruction.
07:02Who the hell are you?
07:03Don't you mind him, boss.
07:04Sorry, David.
07:05I was just leaving.
07:07Hold it!
07:09So, kid, you're responsible for this?
07:12I'd like to hear how you managed it.
07:17Sorry.
07:18Can you go over it again?
07:19Sure.
07:20It's simple.
07:20I copied out all of the scripts from the Magius engine, did the calculations myself, and used the custom scripts
07:27to pilot the unit.
07:28Let's say, hypothetically, that you did.
07:30What does any of that have to do with the way Guare fell apart?
07:34Well, I was effectively a stand-in for the engine.
07:37That allowed me to remove all its limiters and do whatever I wanted.
07:40I took every ounce of mana I'd had to give and used it to attack.
07:44Of course, that depleted the enhancement magic holding the frame together.
07:48That sounded like a decent summary to you, or were you too busy pissing yourself?
07:59Yeah, that about sums it up, boss.
08:02Dietrich really surprised me.
08:04He was incredible out there.
08:05I would have been roasted without his help.
08:08That last attack on the Behemoth would have been impossible to pull off alone.
08:12We made a great team.
08:13No, please.
08:14I didn't do anything.
08:15Why are you so gloomy?
08:16It's a time to celebrate.
08:18We should be praising the Guare.
08:21Sure, kid.
08:23Whatever.
08:24Let's get back on topic.
08:25You're telling me if you use your full strength,
08:28any knight that you piloted would end up just like Guare.
08:31If it's a current model, yeah, it would pretty much be scrapped.
08:35You idiot!
08:36We can't build a new unit every other day!
08:39You don't have to.
08:40I've already come up with a solution.
08:43Is this really crystal tissue?
08:46It would increase structural integrity tenfold.
08:49And power!
08:50I call it the strand-type crystal tissue.
08:59Amazing!
09:00We only swapped out 30% muscle mass, and it worked great!
09:04Each fiber is fairly weak on its own, but weaving them together dramatically increases their strength.
09:09And compared to laying them out in a straight line, this allows them to expand and contract over a greater
09:15distance,
09:15which leads to greater energy output.
09:17Well, I'll be damned!
09:19Instead of just repairing all these units, we're giving them an upgrade!
09:22Before you do, I have one more idea.
09:24What if we made an alteration to the humanoid shape?
09:28Hmm.
09:29All right.
09:30I'll hear you out.
09:31Lay it on me.
09:34Boss?
09:35About time!
09:36Good to see you again!
09:37Oh, Ernestie.
09:39What are you doing in here?
09:41Just living the dream.
09:42Pardon?
09:44Telvi, I wanted to talk to you about the Trandorcus.
09:47Yeah, it's a real mess, isn't it?
09:50Don't worry, the boss will have it as good as new in no time.
09:53In fact, he'll make it even stronger and faster than before.
09:56Really?
09:57Yep.
09:57But we need your help.
09:59That's why we called you here.
10:01All right.
10:04Silhouette Knights have only ever had two arms to work with.
10:07But when you stop to think about it, it's not as efficient as it could be.
10:12To use magic in combat, Knight Runners need to switch from sword to rod, and vice versa for melee combat.
10:18It takes time, and in that split second, while the Knight Runner is vulnerable, a Demon Beast could gain the
10:23upper hand.
10:24True.
10:25But we're so used to swapping on the fly, it's a simple matter.
10:28Sure, but I think we can make it even simpler.
10:31Humor me for a moment.
10:34What if we added another pair of arms to the back of the unit?
10:38Huh?
10:43Interesting thought, but that form is traditional.
10:45Silhouette Knights have always been based on humans.
10:49That's part of the reason we're able to operate them so easily.
10:52I mean, sure, we could put arms in the back, but how are we supposed to move them?
10:56No need to worry.
10:57They're not going to be fully functional limbs.
11:00Their only purpose will be to hold the rod so the pilot can fire them.
11:04It's a crude design, but it will work for the testing phase.
11:08For convenience, we'll refer to the rod the subarms are holding as the unit's back weapon.
11:14We'll use a dedicated script to control the subarms movement.
11:17This will include gripping and moving the back weapon.
11:21We'll also add an aiming function to the basic controls.
11:24And with a targeting reticle on the heads-up display,
11:27all the Knight Runner has to do is aim and fire.
11:31It's simpler than I thought it would be.
11:33With enough practice, I bet I could use the sword and rod at the same time, no sweat.
11:38Their form may be human, but Silhouette Knights are just advanced tools.
11:43If there's some function we want them to have,
11:45don't you think we should change that form to create it?
11:48Tell me, Silverhair.
11:49You sure you're a human?
11:51I mean, how do you come up with these ideas?
11:54I've never seen or heard of anything like them.
11:56Because they don't exist!
11:58That's why I'm making them?
11:59Um, it's called invention.
12:03Hey, Ernie.
12:05What's up?
12:06If you add those things, Silhouette Knights will get even stronger.
12:09Yep, that's the plan.
12:11Be honest.
12:12Once you finish them, you'll fight the demon beasts again, right?
12:17Well, yeah, of course I will.
12:19That's a Knight Runner's job, after all.
12:21The entire kingdom counts on us for protection.
12:24Then let us help.
12:25There must be something we can do.
12:27Please, Ernie.
12:28The thought of you facing demon beasts by yourself is worse than death.
12:32I don't ever want to feel that helpless again.
12:34Let us fight those monsters with you.
12:36The next time you face a demon, I won't be stuck in a carriage.
12:40You taught us magic, so you can teach us to be Knight Runners, too.
12:44You got it!
12:45And I've already come up with the perfect plan.
12:54You're sure you could pull this off?
12:56Honest.
12:57I am.
12:58I just need your permission.
13:00Most of the units are being repaired now.
13:02What you're proposing would keep them out of commission longer.
13:05The creation or major overhaul of a Silhouette Knight is complicated.
13:09The whole process will require parts and time, not to mention plenty of manpower.
13:14If I'm going to achieve a simpler way to construct Silhouette Knights, I need this.
13:20But, first I'll make a practice model.
13:23Thank you all for coming out.
13:25As you can see, this new machine is far simpler than a full-sized unit.
13:30They'll be essential for testing, and I'd like all of you to construct them with Batson leading the project.
13:35Us?
13:35Make those things?
13:36And so, Ernie's new plans were set in motion.
13:41Soon, the entire school would be involved.
13:55The new crystal tissue worked as we intended, but the underlying framework's completely blown out.
14:01I didn't think of that!
14:04Guess we'll be burning the midnight oil on this one.
14:06We're counting on you.
14:08Good luck!
14:12Okay, time to get some training in!
14:15Take it easy, you moron!
14:16We just finished tuning that one!
14:20Your frame's so cold and hard.
14:22My dear, you're perfect!
14:24No fair!
14:25It would do anything for Ernestie to say that to me!
14:27Why can't I be made of metal?
14:31Hey, Edgar!
14:33How's it feel?
14:34I think they're running pretty smoothly!
14:37I'm still trying to walk!
14:40Fun, huh?
14:41It just takes some getting used to!
14:44Look, Ernestie, I get that these silhouette gears are important to you and all.
14:48It's just, the controls are complicated, and they use too much mana.
14:53There's no way these will serve as a replacement for silhouette night training.
14:57Do you really think so?
14:59One, two, three, one, two!
15:01Well, those two are unique.
15:03Couldn't you incorporate a Magius engine at least?
15:06That way, I can operate this thing with ease.
15:09Quit complaining, Edgar!
15:10Well, it's pathetic!
15:12You're the top knight in Lajiala!
15:14Act like it!
15:14What have you done with Dietrich?
15:16Very funny.
15:18These gear things really force you to think about how much mana you're using.
15:21Nightrunners of any level could learn a lot training with them.
15:24Hey, D!
15:25Want to play tag?
15:26You're it!
15:27Not for long!
15:32We sure changed.
15:34What happened?
15:36After tons of research, trials, and revisions, a modified silhouette night was completed.
15:42Now, it was time to put Ernestie's new alterations to the test.
15:50All set!
15:51When you're ready, try standing up!
16:09Now, try taking a step or two.
16:11Nice and easy.
16:28Okay, stop!
16:36How does it feel?
16:38About as rough as you'd expect.
16:40It's got a lot of power, so it's hard to make it work the way I want it to.
16:44Don't worry about tuning it after the test.
16:46Our goal for today is seeing those in action.
16:55Those silhouette gears are really something else.
16:59Just goes to show they're more than meets the eye.
17:02Deploying the subarms now.
17:08Displaying reticle.
17:10Lock target.
17:21It's even more accurate than I'd hoped!
17:23Test fire complete.
17:25Retracting subarms.
17:35They're happy about something like that.
17:37Isn't it more impressive if you use the magic yourself, Ernie?
17:41Well, with this, we can increase firepower at will.
17:43But what's important is that our hard work paid off.
17:46This silhouette night took its first steps today.
17:49And that is worthy of a few happy tears.
17:52I don't really get it, but I'm happy for you nonetheless.
17:56Congratulations, Ernie!
17:58What's your take on this new equipment, Dee?
18:01Well, it won't just help with long-range combat, but close quarters too.
18:06I like it.
18:07True, but it's one thing if we're up against demon beasts.
18:10What happens if we have to fight the new unit?
18:13I'll tell you.
18:14You'll get knocked flat on your top knight backside.
18:17With this new power, no one's a match for me.
18:19Even the great Edgar couldn't go toe-to-toe with my baby.
18:23Somehow I doubt that's true.
18:25Do you have the guts to find out?
18:32Jeez.
18:33They didn't have to make a big deal of this.
18:35It's only a mock battle.
18:37You better not think of backing out on me.
18:40If you're both ready, we can get this started.
18:44This is the last trial.
18:45We get to see what our new unit can really do.
18:48To my right, the new and renamed Telestale.
18:51And its opponent, the battle-hardened Earlcumber.
18:55Knights, bow.
18:56Take positions.
19:02It may be shiny and new, but that won't decide the fight.
19:06It always comes down to skill.
19:09I won't forget you, Trendorkus.
19:11Thank you for everything.
19:14Let's go, Telestale.
19:15Begin!
19:22Why isn't she taking advantage of her longer range?
19:25Let's give a proper hello.
19:35The Strantok's power is unreal.
19:38I didn't think it was possible.
19:42But if being around Ernestee has taught me anything,
19:44it's that moving forward means throwing away what you know.
19:47Well, that's Edgar for you.
19:49Stevere as a wall.
19:51Any other pilot would have been done for by now.
19:54Helvy's using the Telestale like she's had it for years.
19:57And that, my silver-haired friend, is the reason she's a test runner.
20:01She's pushing it awfully hard, though.
20:03Probably taking advantage of the superior output.
20:06And there's plenty of tuning to do on the control system.
20:10Fighting with precision isn't viable yet.
20:12So, it's strength versus skill.
20:15Can't wait to see who wins.
20:17Her close-range magic is tough.
20:19I can't counter it!
20:23I don't like to gamble in a fight.
20:26But being backed into a corner just isn't fun.
20:37A head-on attack?
20:39I'd expect nothing less from you, Edgar.
20:41If you're going all out, then so will I!
20:45Gotcha!
20:50How the hell did he manage that block?
20:56Come on, we just built that!
20:58That's how you want to play?
20:59Fine, we'll take it up a notch!
21:02Give him everything we've got, Telestale!
21:09This fight is over!
21:33Thanks to all of you, the new Telestale passed its trials.
21:37Great work, everyone.
21:39Moving forward, we'll deal with the decreased fuel efficiency that we discovered in the mock battle.
21:46Well, enough of that.
21:48Drink up!
21:49Yes, sir!
21:52Get over there and cheer Helvi up!
21:54Why me?
21:54You do it!
21:55I'm excited!
21:57Why?
21:57Won't the king reward you for all this?
21:59You practically made history today!
22:02Yeah!
22:03You've changed the silhouette knight forever!
22:05Well, not quite yet.
22:07The Telestale may be finished, but it's nowhere near completed.
22:11We've got a long way to go!
22:12I was afraid he'd say that.
22:14We're walking a difficult path here.
22:16It can't be trod in just one day!
22:18Huh, yeah.
22:19Yeah, okay.
22:29Hmm, so his pet project isn't finished yet.
22:34All right, we'll stick around and see what else he has in store.
22:40By this time, a tiny thorn had already embedded itself in Lahiala Academy.
22:46Unfortunately, no one, not even Ernesty, had noticed its presence.
23:04You're always like that, but at least you're a single one.
23:11Why don't you ask me a voice? I don't have a answer.
23:17I don't have any answers, but I'm fine with it.
23:24I want a special space.
23:56I want a special space.
23:56All right.
23:57I'm sure I'm always walking around the corner
24:03You're still still the love that I don't even know
24:08I don't even know what I'm saying
24:10But I'm fine
24:13I'm still the same way
24:17I'm still the same way
24:18You're nice
24:26Next time light and shadow
24:29Machiavellianism is calling me
