00:05I've finally got the 10,000th, Elias will be so pleased.
00:19Elias, 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?
00:41Thank 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!
01:13No!
01:16No!
01:21No!
01:22No!
01:22Everyone, quickly take cover!
01:25No!
01:26No!
01:27Why would you do this?!
01:28Why?
01:29Because you are stupid.
01:30You're tedious.
01:31Oh, dear sister.
01:32Premier in the Academy.
01:34And still, no one wants you.
01:37Don't waste your time on her.
01:39Even looking at her makes me sick.
01:41Compared to you, she's nothing.
01:42Pathetic!
01:43See?
01:44Elias has always chosen me, no matter how much you did for him.
01:48Farewell, sister!
01:59Aliens, Hilda, I curse you both.
02:02If I get another chance, I will not let this happen.
02:14Everyone is still here.
02:16Good.
02:17That's good.
02:18That's good.
02:19That'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.
02:34Fire 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 refused her?
02:52He is of noble blood, proud beyond measure, but there's no one better than Elaine.
02:55Hilda!
02:56Step away!
02:57It's dangerous!
03:03Professor, I know I'm nothing compared to my sister.
03:06It's just...
03:06I've never seen such a magnificent creature.
03:09And he seems to...
03:10like me more?
03:12Professor Talon, since their hearts are already indefined, let them have each other.
03:16What?
03:16She's a mere initiate!
03:17I will not bond with the Fire Dragon.
03:20In fact, my choice lies...
03:24Feathered Serpent!
03:26A lowly half-breed?
03:27A lowly half-breed?
03:28A lowly half-breed?
03:39Professor Talon, since the Fire Dragon refused to serve as my mount, I shall take this little serpent.
03:46Elaine, you're the premier!
03:47Only 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.
03:56Then it's done.
03:57The Fire Dragon goes to Hilda.
04:00In three months, the Beastware trials will judge your progress with the utmost rigor.
04:04Hilda, how could you do that?
04:06The Fire Dragon was meant for Elaine!
04:08Right!
04:08How can you steal from your own sister?
04:11I didn't!
04:12He chose me first!
04:17Brilliant!
04:18With that Fire Dragon, she'll be our new premier by morning!
04:21The newest initiate, and yet she scoops the finest prize in the hall.
04:25A treacherous beast was never a good choice.
04:29In my past life, Aelius 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.
04:50He 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.
05:07I 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!
05:37Elaine?
05:39Elaine?
05:41Professor?
05:42Hmm.
05:47A familiar shares its master's magic.
05:50You and Aelius.
05:51You would have made an unstoppable pairing.
05:54But as you saw, Professor, he has no desire to bond with me.
05:57A beast's will can be guided.
06:00I shall speak with Hilda again and have Elidus return to-
06:02Professor.
06:03I seek no mighty instrument of power, but a true companion.
06:10He is not so bad, after all.
06:15Fine.
06:16But 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.
06:40Oh, Elaine.
06:41If you truly wanted Aelius, why didn't you just ask?
06:44What?
06:45No.
06:46Weren't you begging him?
06:48Hoping the Professor hand Aelius back to you?
06:50Ridiculous.
06:53My dearest sister.
06:55I'd love to return him, but...
06:59He refuses to leave with you.
07:02Drop the act, Hilda.
07:03I have no interest in your precious mount.
07:06Save that energy for the trials.
07:08Speaking of the trials.
07:10I have to apologize in advance.
07:12When Aelius 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.
07:28Only if you can afford him.
07:33Of course I can!
07:35But can your little worm even survive three months?
07:50No!
07:50No!
07:52No!
07:53No!
08:00So you would defend your master, Aelius?
08:02You just detest me?
08:04Elaine!
08:05The Fire Dragon is Academy's most precious beast in a decade.
08:08You will be punished if you hurt him!
08:09So my serpent deserves to die?
08:11It's just a lowly half-breed.
08:13There are hundreds like it in the Beast Pavilion.
08:15No wonder last time, he died at your hands in just a year.
08:23Hilda!
08:24Where is your familiar?
08:26It was too frail.
08:27It couldn't survive.
08:29I tried everything I could to save him.
08:31What did you try?
08:32What potions?
08:33What healing spells?
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!
08:44Hilda!
08:52Alasius!
08:53You never answer my summons, yet here you are for Hilda.
08:56Have you forgotten who your master is?
08:58I share no bond with you.
09:01You!
09:02It's my fault.
09:04It's her I refuse to acknowledge.
09:07Halt!
09:08At the Premier I speak for the Dean himself.
09:11I order you to stay, Hilda.
09:14As you wish, Elaine.
09:15For your incompetence and the death of your familiar.
09:18I sentence you to the Outer Valley to clear out the trolls.
09:21No!
09:22I can't, can't do that.
09:24Please!
09:24Please!
09:25Do not panic, Hilda.
09:26I will come with you.
09:27My flames will be your shield.
09:28I gathered essence all on my own.
09:30A thousand times!
09:32All for you!
09:33And you never came!
09:34Not once!
09:38As long as he chooses me and stands by my side.
09:41I will treat him right in return.
09:43A 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.
10:03Welcome home, little one.
10:04Deep wounds.
10:06Feigning manor.
10:07And yet you're still holding on?
10:09You're a stubborn little thing, aren't you?
10:12These feathers, just like raven wings.
10:16Curious.
10:17What 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.
10:40Rest easy.
10:41If I could afford a leech like Alias, I can certainly take care of you.
10:59I don't know.
11:00An adept mage?
11:01At least level seven.
11:02Maybe eight.
11:03Right beside me.
11:04And I never sensed him.
11:07Who are you?
11:11Behave yourself!
11:12This is the Beastweed Academy!
11:16You...
11:17You have two!
11:20Male serpent.
11:21We all have two down there.
11:24Serpent.
11:26You're the feathered serpent?
11:32Don't you dare stand up!
11:33Oh, that's rude.
11:35I have a name.
11:37Nyxen.
11:40You...
11:41You're the little serpent from yesterday?
11:43Impossible! You were dying!
11:44How can you take human form?
11:46That was just a disguise for my enemies.
11:47I was wounded.
11:49And your professor happened to drag me into that...
11:51Ceremony.
11:52Enemies?
11:53Are they still after you?
11:56I just got rid of Alias!
11:58I won't trade one nightmare for another!
12:17Ten years of devotion won me nothing from Alias.
12:20Yet Nyxen...
12:22He laid the bond upon my heart on our very first day.
12:27The bond is sealed. I'm your servant now, Master.
12:33Keep up with me, Master.
12:35I'd hate to leave you behind.
12:36I'll find out.
12:37I'll find out.
12:39I can't find out.
12:55I can't find out.
12:57She's treated as well as a ghost or a ghost.
12:57She's treated as well as her father.
12:57But she's treated to buy her an animal.
13:03She's treated as a good dog or a scientist.
13:04She's treated as a kind of alex.
13:07you master water i wield wind they are naturally bound now follow my rhythm try to channel the
13:15water elements i feel much stronger precisely that's the bond working my strength is yours

13:42beastward trials then work harder you can admire me after we win admire don't flatter yourself

14:40it's coming from elaine's cottage
14:44she got unwanted mixed blood feathered spopen how can she be this strong
14:54everyone knows mages share mana with their fulfillers with that half-dead hybrid worm
14:59there's no way elaine could manage that elaine is gifted and hard-working it's not impossible
15:04right and your dragon is still the same size
15:17stand down strong enough to crush you at the trials
15:25i need to find out if that was really elaine
15:44hide don't let anyone see you can shift form go
15:51elaine i'm here to apologize i shouldn't have let alias ruin our sisterhood
15:56sisterhood it was nothing but a lie that cost me my past life
16:01save it hilda elaine do you really have to be like this before alerius you always got the best
16:06of everything stop the fake lines hilda what do you actually want i was just wondering how's your
16:10training i saw massive waves on the lake is that you no of course not only a level seven maze
16:16could perform something like that rot with your overgrown lizard
16:28see it's still weak leave us alone actually i need a favor help me raise alalia selaine
16:38i really can't do this without you excuse me
16:46the beastwood academy exists to forge powerful familiars
16:50as 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
16:59dear sister your tiny worm will never take human form
17:03why throw your gifts away on a filthy creature of the mud
17:07you should be supporting arius
17:10don't dare me leave now
17:21then rot with your mixed breed scum
17:24in three months you will regret everything about today
17:33trust me she is the one who shall regret it
17:37good morning may the elements empower the beastwood academy
17:44let the trials begin
17:49participation is mandatory for every bonded apprentice this will determine your familiars rank the academy
17:56resources and the title of premier apprentice
18:02familiars differ in innate ability what determines a passing grade is your bond
18:10the pillar reflects the shared manner and bond between master and beast
18:17now step onto the platform and prove the worth of your past three months
18:47d for a distinct fail
19:02c for a close miss
19:18b a pass but below expectations
19:35a for alessa and her ally well done
19:47have you seen elaine
19:49she's in seclusion maybe she's just scared
19:52don't be absurd
19:54look
20:06how did he get this big in three months
20:20no suspense left
20:22hilda is going to be the new premier
20:24how can you say that elaine hasn't even shown up yet
20:27just stating facts
20:29how could elaine's mudsnake compare to a fire dragon
20:32it's not over yet
20:33it's not over yet
20:59it's not over yet
21:05By the elements, it's an S for a supreme beast.
21:12The strongest familiar in a decade.
21:14She is way, way stronger than her sister now.
21:16It's the fire dragon, nothing to do with her.
21:19Elaine could have had the dragon.
21:20She has only herself to blame.
21:22You're all taking Hildy's side now?
21:23Have you forgotten who actually helped?
21:24Lost favors don't win battles.
21:26Powerless means useless.
21:29Professor Talon, is there anyone left to take the trial?
21:33Only Elaine and her familiar.
21:35We will wait.
21:37My sister is too proud to bear losing her position as Premia.
21:41She's probably too ashamed to come at all.
21:43Elaine never runs away.
21:45There must be a reason.
21:46She realized the gap between us.
21:49That's the reason.
21:55Elaine is stronger than them all.
21:58He possesses the power to protect and to lead.
22:05Once I am Premia, Alias' full power will be unleashed.
22:11The whole kingdom of Verne will respect Peaceful Academy.
22:28Elaine is here.
22:32But...
22:32Where is her snake?
22:40Nixen, come forth.
23:04He hasn't grown an inch.
23:07Can they even make the pillar flicker?
23:10Elaine is finished.
23:11Nixen, you knew you'd be a joke.
23:19Three months and you're still holding that worm.
23:23It's pathetic.
23:25Elaine, what is this?
23:27Have you been training him at all?
23:28I have.
23:29Trust me, Professor.
23:30Professor, this is pointless.
23:32Declare their failure now.
23:33It'll save everyone's time.
23:35Elaine, perhaps he'll be a bit bigger by next year.
23:38Every bonded apprentice must attend.
23:40Rules are rules.
23:41Dear sister, I know it's hard to accept.
23:44But don't worry.
23:45Alias and I will protect you.
23:47No need.
23:51You're under the delusion that you're the strongest one here.
23:54Get me correct.
23:59You're under the delusion that you really need.
24:02Are you under the delusion?
24:07Bye!
24:09Bye!
24:11Bye!
24:12Bye!
24:14Bye!
24:15Bye!
24:15Bye!
24:16Bye!
24:17Bye!
24:17Bye!
24:20Bye!
24:22Bye!
24:26that that worm it can take human form unbelievable it takes a premiere at least
24:3210 years to guide a familiar towards a human you've performed a miracle elaine
24:38it's impossible elarius is the strongest
24:54don't hurt them
25:00no you must have cheated elaine the pillar will never acknowledge you
25:26the pillar is no longer able to contain the scale of your bond nor the mana you share
25:33nixon is the strongest femulation in the history of this academy
25:38he is beyond measure
25:44i made the right choice in choosing nixon
25:54that's not him that's not the same creature from the bonding ceremony
25:58it is him always has been don't forget you were the one who said we were a perfect match
26:03he was dying no elaine it was you you knew he was powerful all along
26:10you stole him on purpose stop fooling yourself
26:15nixon was mortally wounded even if you had taken him with the meager mana you have you could never
26:21keep him alive i belong only to you i said if nixon i i just didn't expect him to take
26:31human form
26:32you kept this secret just for humiliating me in front of everyone
26:37i am not like you hilda i wouldn't covet what isn't mine
26:44this is only the first of many defeats get used to it
26:51trying to speak but you don't even have a human voice yet
27:04trials are competitive by nature but not at the expense of your bond as sisters
27:12perhaps this is a chance to rebuild your sisterhood after all you are both exceptional
27:18what that's not fair elaine and nixon are miles ahead of them professor
27:24perhaps you'll reconsider once you know what hilda has been hiding from you
27:34elaine explain yourself she's talking nonsense i'm not hiding anything professor
27:42check hilda's mana level please
27:49level two no progress in three months if she's level two then where did all that mina come from
27:57was the pillar broken
28:01help me raise alias elaine i really can't do this without you i refuse to let her leech off of
28:08me this
28:08time so who else was left to bleed professor elias's growth is strange perhaps the resource logs might
28:16tell us why
28:20hilda in three months you have claimed 14 extra essence rations as a premier candidate
28:26that is triple the allowed limit i did it for the academy
28:30alias is so strong i just wanted him to reach his full potential faster and yet you remain at level
28:36two not a single drop of that essence was used on yourself but elaine has reached level seven
28:44hilda you are disqualified from the trials the excess resources will be deducted from your future
28:51allowance the position of premier apprentice remains with elaine tideswan
28:55hilda you stay
29:15i'm pleased with the trial results today
29:17but that's not the reason i asked you here
29:22disturbances are increasing at the borders dark forces are seeping into the wilds tainted beasts
29:27lose their sanity turning into man-eaters a nine-tailed vorkref has been spotted here
29:33we must bring it back before it's fully corrupted professor willow will come with you
29:37this is why i urged you to choose the fire draken we need powerful beast masters for what's coming
29:43i have reasons professor and i hope you'll be careful with him as well why
29:52i don't have substantial proof yet then you should guide hilda the infiltration is accelerating and we
29:58professor the nine-tailed vulpel owns the priority now i will bring it back your parents died in a
30:04similar riot back then i've always felt it all happened too sudden and unnatural
30:12the infiltration is accelerating it all happened too sudden and unnatural
30:22i never understood what alias had done we had no bond he could have simply killed me and taken
30:27hilga why destroy the entire academy it wasn't freedom he wanted what is he really after
30:40the
30:41uh
30:54elaine don't you think professor talon is being far too stringy i fell for this nine-tailed spirit fox the
31:00second i laid eyes on it yet he refused to hold it for me now i have to come all
31:04this way myself
31:05this nine-tailed spirit fox bears an exceptionally rare bloodline it's lethally dangerous in the wild
31:10and must be strictly contained do this as a favor to the academy if you would
31:17my my my elaine your little slither is quite clingy isn't he
31:31nyxon what are you doing here hilda came to me today i sent her away
31:41i sent her for fox we just secured premier's seat and you're already planning to find a familiar
31:45it was a mission from it's fine once i eat the fox your bond is still only mine
32:17you hit me for that fur ball
32:20professor talon entrusted this vulture to me if you lay a finger on it i will never forgive you
32:33elaine what brings you here where is hilda
32:39she took alias to the valley for training i guess she's been acting weird since the trials
32:45the valley it's strictly off limits what is she doing there
32:53i told you that's not that's away from me i'm not going anywhere
33:00don't stare at me like that the trial was not my fault
33:07hunt for essence go outside are you insane i'm a level two i'd be eaten alive are you trying to
33:14kill me
33:17human form with what we have no quata left i can't pull essence out of thin air if you're looking
33:22for someone to blame blame elaine her serpent is already speaking with a human voice and you all
33:27do is scribble with your claws in my past life he wouldn't give me a single look now look at
33:33him

33:38it was a long way to find you hilda
33:43elaine you why are you here
33:50elaine what brings you here
34:01i'm here to ask what do you want with my familiar
34:07just asking about training methods don't overthink it she's lying she complained that you stole me and
34:14i should belong to her too weak though a flick of a spell sent her out of the yard
34:27hilda if you can't sustain a laelius give him away
34:31and don't even think about naixin you took him first you left me no chance
34:41you and naixin you've already bonded next time i will drag you to the academy tribunal and you know the
34:48penalty for poaching is expulsion eleseus let's
34:57compared to the hell you put me through last life this is nothing but an appetizer
35:08this is not the way to the academy look

35:52faintly deep down feels familiar
35:55whatever it is
