00:00Summer vacation, that time of year where everyone grows, regardless of status or age.
00:07Even I, Makoto Misumi, step out into the sun in pursuit of my own goals.
00:14Such a tease. You're not serious.
00:16Actually, I wasn't joking even a little bit.
00:19What's with the weird look?
00:21You already possess far more mana than even myself, yet it's still not enough to quell your hunger, eh?
00:27No, you misunderstand.
00:29It's that I want to increase the amount of mana I can expend at once.
00:33I can feel that I'm inefficient.
00:36You don't say. It's still unusual.
00:39Most people can never increase their mana.
00:42I know that, but somehow my maximum mana has increased.
00:46Keep that quiet.
00:47If a research organization found out, they'd cut you open and run experiments.
00:52They'd what now?
00:53Slice and dice.
00:54Honestly, I'd like to know how you manage the increase too.
00:58Let's see. It must be from my dedicated daily bow practice.
01:02Yeah, yeah. If you insist, then I believe I should have just the thing to help you.
01:07Here it is.
01:08What's that?
01:09It details mana training methods.
01:12I can't vouch for effectiveness, though.
01:14Ooh, thanks a lot.
01:16You're a teacher and also a merchant, and yet you're as studious as a pupil.
01:21I suppose.
01:22Perhaps the arrival of summer break is to blame.
01:25That time of year always makes me feel restless.
01:28I want to spend my time well.
01:31It's weird. I'd rather make lots of new memories than relax.
01:36Nothing wrong with that.
01:38I wish you luck in all your pursuits.
01:40I'll pray that your summer vacation is a fruitful one.
01:55I wish you luck in all your pursuits.

03:12I'll pray that your summer vacation is a fruitful one.
03:15I'll pray that your summer vacation is a fruitful one.
03:19I hear you're keeping busy.
03:21Rumor has it you'll even be continuing to train your students over the summer break.
03:26They're all such motivated kids.
03:28Most instructors have already gone on vacation or returned home.
03:32That makes you quite a rare breed, you know.
03:35That's exactly the kind of teacher I like, though.
03:38I appreciate that.
03:40Anyway, didn't you say you found a book to recommend?
03:43I did. It's right here.
03:45Is that... some kind of essay?
03:48Correct. I recall you expressing an interest in learning more about the use of mana.
03:53I found this rare text to help your endeavor.
03:56The Potential for Physical Interference of Mana as Pertains to Theories of Visualization.
04:02It's an essay that compiles unusual theories from experts.
04:06It's meant for true connoisseurs.
04:08Translation, it's a nerdy book for nerds.
04:11You've certainly piqued my interest with this.
04:14Now I have another goal to pursue this summer break.
04:17You've set goals for summer break?
04:20If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a student.
04:24Maybe that's because I was supposed to be a student.
04:28Hi, young master!
04:30Time has a way of getting away from you.
04:33Essays.
04:34Training.
04:35Managerial duties.
04:38Summer in the demi-plane slipped by.
04:41And before I knew it, two weeks had already passed.
04:44I must apologize.
04:46We keep you so busy every day with approvals and reports and other things of that nature.
04:51It's fine.
04:52Once the academy's summer break ends, I won't have as much time to visit.
04:57But I'm here right now, so I won't waste a moment.
05:00I'm glad to hear you say that.
05:02We're unbelievably blessed to have a master like you looking after us.
05:07You okay?
05:09Uh...
05:10No need for tears. What's next?
05:12Please! Please forgive me!
05:15Today's the mock battle.
05:17The Winken are eager to test their mettle against you.
05:20You should know that their forces have already fought against the Orcs and several others as well.
05:25They're undefeated.
05:26Whoa, they must be pretty strong.
05:29Their ability to fly is a significant advantage.
05:32But that should only take a few more battles to overcome.
05:36They won't prevail over us Orcs forever!
05:38Right. Noted.
05:40I'll be sure not to underestimate them.
05:43Ready.
05:44So, yeah.
05:45Where are the Winken?
05:47In those woods over there.
05:48The battle begins with both sides out of sight.
05:51Good luck!
05:52Please be careful.
05:56Now, how to begin?
06:02Time to say hello.
06:06After those warning shots, I'll just...
06:09They all landed?!
06:10Starting unit down!
06:12We took more damage than expected!
06:14Second wave, advance!
06:17They have no way to handle long-range attacks.
06:20Not to mention their weak defense.
06:22All squads, take position!
06:25Decent plan.
06:26That would obstruct my vision, but...
06:29Investigative Kai.
06:32Heh. Sitting ducks.
06:35Time to deploy debris!
06:36Deploy magical barriers!
06:38Emma warned me about their strength.
06:40But really, they're just flying targets.
06:45Isn't that...
06:46Yeah, it's Chief Kakun.
06:49Then that bird must be...
06:51His lieutenant, Shona.
06:53That makes sense.
06:54Winken can transform into large birds.
06:57But can they handle my long-range attacks?
07:01Excellent!
07:02I was hoping they weren't a lost cause!
07:06Enhancement and wind?
07:08Are they planning a suicide attack?
07:10Being airborne lends them some security.
07:12Perhaps that simplifies their offense.
07:22You should know a strong winged bird
07:25You should know a straight line's too predictable.
07:29Watch this!
07:34Fine. We surrender.
07:38Listen up!
07:39Since this was our first mock battle,
07:41my goal was to get a feel for your battle strategy,
07:44as well as your strengths and weaknesses.
07:46I'll be blunt.
07:47You rely too much on your flying ability.
07:50Not good.
07:51The highland orcs and others will crush you.
07:53It's only a matter of time now.
07:55We'll destroy you!
07:57Your suicide attacks are ill-advised, too.
07:59All they do is make you easy prey for concentrated fire.
08:02It's a bad strategy.
08:04You must learn to take up better positioning in the sky,
08:07and develop several attack patterns with a likelihood of success.
08:10That advice will be your starting point.
08:12That concludes today's lesson.
08:14Farewell.
08:15Please, young master!
08:17Yes? What is it?
08:19We can help.
08:20We'll develop and explore.
08:22And participate in the demiplane ranking.
08:25Anyone is free to participate in the demiplane ranking.
08:28At their own risk, of course.
08:30That said, I must deny your request to assist with demiplane development.
08:34It's your combat abilities.
08:36They make you unqualified for that job.
08:38I understand.
08:40For now, I suggest you focus on developing your strength and strategy, okay?
08:47In simplified terms,
08:48when continuously releasing a large amount of mana,
08:51a secondary effect is that colorful mana manifests itself as a weak barrier of sorts.
08:56So mana becomes visible according to the volume released.
08:59Additionally, it may even materialize and become possible to...
09:03What?
09:06No use.
09:07My brain's going to explode.
09:13The act of releasing mana couldn't be more straightforward.
09:16So I'll start there.
09:22My plan is to continuously fire breed attacks while unleashing lots of mana.
09:29Using my own mana to maintain this output level
09:32feels like removing the barrier between me and my mana.
09:35Focus...
09:36Focus...
09:38Focus...
09:46What is this feeling?
09:48Oh no.
09:51What's happening to me?
09:56Young master, wake up.
09:58Please, wake up.
10:01What's wrong?
10:02When we couldn't find you in your bed this morning, we got scared.
10:06What exactly were you doing last night?
10:08You're not the type of man to get drunk and fall asleep outside.
10:13My name's Makoto Misumi.
10:16Indeed.
10:17We are well aware of that fact.
10:19That's right.
10:20Makoto Misumi.
10:22My brilliant master.
10:24I must have spent all night firing breeds until I passed out.
10:28Come to think of it, I believe this has happened to me before.
10:38Tomoe, Mio...
10:40I'm so grateful for you.
10:45Never mind.
10:46Don't worry.
10:47Let's go.
10:50Huh?
10:54Breakfast looks delicious as always.
10:56I've been working diligently to learn how to cook all your favorites while you're here.
11:00Please, eat your fill.
11:02Young master, may I have some persimmon and mashed tofu salad?
11:06I think not.
11:08You won't make do with your own portion.
11:10It's your fault for cooking something that goes so well with sake first thing in the morning.
11:16Slow down.
11:18Maybe you should cut back a bit.
11:20In your country, don't they say it's worth selling the farm to enjoy a morning drink?
11:26This pairs well with sake too!
11:29Those are simply persimmons and mirin.
11:32It would be even better if you made real mirin for me.
11:35But you are slacking in your duties.
11:37My miso and mirin recipes are still in the works.
11:40You have a special attachment to the demi-plains persimmons, eh?
11:44I must admit that I do.
11:46Sometimes I dream of being buried in a mountain of ripe persimmons!
11:50Don't dream like that.
11:51That's enough.
11:52If you don't behave yourself, I swear I will stop serving persimmons forever.
12:01I finally did it.
12:03I've learned to utilize the mana outside my body too.
12:10I will resist entering a trance-like state again.
12:13I'm ready this time.
12:16At the end of the essay, there was an incantation for making mana materialize.
12:21The way it works is similar to the common starch experiment.
12:25The harder you hit it, the harder it becomes.
12:28But if you touch it gently, it will remain a liquid.
12:31First, I'll use Concealing Kai.
12:34That will sufficiently hide my mana.
12:36Kazukurani... Shizumaru Yomichi...
12:39Bandaika... Katashirowaniwa...
12:42Sankuwaregoshi...
12:45It's okay. I have plenty of mana to spare.
12:48Now, show me what I'm looking for.
12:56Is this... mana's physical form?
13:01It's following my movements.
13:04If I fire a Breed Attack now...
13:09Yes! I've successfully used the mana outside my body.
13:13This is true efficiency.
13:15Next, I'll test how strong the surface is.
13:23Wow, that didn't hurt at all.
13:25With strength like this on my side, I could fight anyone without serious injury.
13:30Dragon Slayers and even the gods themselves.
13:35For the sake of the demiplane, I cannot fall.
13:40If someone has to die, it will be me.
13:43I won't drag anyone I care about into this conflict.
13:47I refuse.
13:50Just like that, half my summer break passed me by.
13:54They all want to show off their new combat skills?
13:58Just like your academy students, the denizens of the demiplane have been training hard each and every day.
14:04They seek your approval.
14:06That is why they wish to show you all that they have learned.
14:09Sure, but tell me...
14:11What's that?
14:12I dug that fine specimen out of a mountain myself!
14:16I contributed as well by casting a special spell upon it.
14:20So now everyone will unleash their abilities on that?
14:23And the power of their attack will be expressed as a number.
14:27But I have no interest in new combat skills.
14:30We should have had a cooking contest instead.
14:34Don't forget to leave some for the rest of us.
14:39First up, it's the Highland Orcs!
14:41Agares and Emma, begin!
14:45Emma's participating?
14:47Yes, of all the Highland Orcs, she's the greatest mage.
14:51She just happens to handle other duties.
14:53We won't hold back!
14:55Accept this spell!
15:02That's 78 points!
15:0678 points, huh?
15:08That's not exactly a test score to write home about.
15:11No, it's actually quite impressive.
15:13I hope that's not your standard.
15:15If so, I feel quite sorry for the other species.
15:18Next, it's the Mist Lizards!
15:20Begin!
15:25What? Their aim is awful.
15:28Unless they wish to intimidate the Wingkin,
15:31showing they've acquired a long-range attack that reaches the sky.
15:40That's 68 points!
15:43Next, it's the Elder Dwarves!
15:45Begin!
15:49What can that tiny axe accomplish?
15:53Oh, well, well.
15:55Go, Mountain Cleaver!
16:00That's 70 points!
16:04It seems there's still room for improvement.
16:07It's not yet worthy of the name Mountain Cleaver.
16:10Next, it's the Elkay!
16:1265 points!
16:13Next, it's the Gorgons!
16:15Zero points for turning a rock to stone.
16:18Yeah, it tracks.
16:19Next, it's the Wingkins!
16:23They're marking targets from the ground and bombing them from above.
16:26It's pretty accurate.
16:28But unfortunately, it's not strong enough.
16:32Once again, the sting of defeat.
16:34Next up, Forest Ogres!
16:36Great!
16:37What's with the outfits?
16:39We can't wear anything more revealing!
16:41This is all our confidence allows!
16:43Even for you, this is our limit!
16:45Looks great!
16:47Aqua, let's do this!
16:49I want to die...
16:50Utterly invincible!
16:52Hails with a touch!
16:53Supreme barrier of absolute zero!
16:56Hokkaiden, go!
16:58Killer floral!
16:59Cats, resist!
17:01Behold our tribute!
17:09Wow, that's pretty impressive.
17:11Not bad, not bad at all.
17:13Break it if you can, but we know you can't.
17:22I broke my weapon!
17:24Remarkable offensive abilities for a barrier.
17:27That could potentially take someone's life.
17:29I believe it would even take some doing for me to break through it.
17:33As far as barriers go, it's nearly perfect.
17:36No way, it's that strong?
17:40What's wrong? That's all you got?
17:42Nah, it's not so perfect after all.
17:45What? Can't anyone break through our little barrier?
17:48Hey there, I got through.
17:51Young Master, how could you?
17:53No, no, no, but how?
17:54It's impressive what you did here.
17:56But at the end of the day, it's lacking something.
17:59I suggest you consider its shortcomings carefully.
18:02I'll dispel it.
18:0650 points?!
18:08Time for a bonus stage?
18:10It's my turn to exhibit.
18:12I recall you saying you had no interest in new combat skills.
18:16You are far from mistaken, but I won't miss this opportunity.
18:19I'd like to demonstrate.
18:21After all, I possess many skills outside of cooking.
18:24Interesting. Is this about what you were watching in the memory vault?
18:28Within its intensity, I can sense refinement.
18:32How exhilarating, delicate, and powerful.
18:35Its form calls to mind the likes of spiders and insects.
18:38It's simply marvelous.
18:41I based this creation on a figure from your memory.
18:44Keep in mind, it's only a prototype.
18:47Still, I made this to please my dear master.
18:50This is my gift.
18:52It's a hero suit?
18:56That's zero points.
18:58Now it's time for the final entry.
19:00The one and only Shiki has arrived.
19:04Unless I'm mistaken, he has his own new ability to share.
19:07Very well, let's see what he can do.
19:10I'm looking forward to it.
19:12Begin.
19:13Count 13.
19:16The time has come to release steps 1 through 4.
19:19One, sword, cup, coin.
19:26Now that you are worthy of the sixth step,
19:28I command you to unsheathe and reveal your true self.
19:34That looks familiar.
19:36Didn't the dwarves craft that weapon for him?
19:38Yes, and they insolently made it effective against dragons.
19:42That blade is known as Dragonslayer.
19:45Mitsurugi...
19:46Is he expecting a battle against Lancer?
19:49You just couldn't help yourself, could you, Shiki?
20:04It's not just for dragons, then.
20:06It's also incredibly powerful.
20:09What a show.
20:11It doesn't amount to much if he can't hit anything with it.
20:15Shiki has been closely watching the progress in training of you and Mio.
20:19You should be flattered.
20:20You're a role model for him.
20:23All right, maybe I'll show off a new skill of my own.
20:27It'll be a big surprise for all of them.
20:31Attention, everyone!
20:33The young master will now demonstrate a new skill for us!
20:38The young master!
20:40Calm down, that's quite enough.
20:43I just discovered an interesting new application of mana.
20:48This will be my first time trying it.
20:51Releasing a large amount of mana.
20:53No concealing, Kai.
20:58What is this?
20:59I must focus...
21:01Focus...
21:02Focus!
21:07His mana, it's materializing.
21:09What are we witnessing here?
21:11Mana matter?
21:13Mana matter?
21:15Sounds fitting, I like it.
21:17When I do this, it strengthens my spells considerably.
21:20And doubles as a powerful armor.
21:23Behold, mana matter!
21:30It's here!
21:37That's that?
21:38Neat, huh?
21:43What the heck was that?!
21:46Over summer break, I got carried away.
21:49Just a little.
21:51That is a tremendous current of mana over there.
21:54Do you believe the source could potentially be a threat?
21:58Who knows?
21:59Either way, we must do something about it at once.
22:28It's like an excuse, love
22:33The color of the sky and the wind
22:36It's all messed up
22:40I think too much, I can't speak
22:44The more I touch, the more I get scared
22:48But for some reason, I smile with a face I don't know
22:52The night, the morning
22:55I'm your hero
22:59Our eyes met, and we began to move
23:03Love is like spring
23:07I won't say it'll stay like this
23:11But don't wake up yet, don't wake up yet
23:15I want to kiss you already
23:18You're not the cause of everything
23:23I want to kiss you already
23:26I want to kiss you already
23:31I want to kiss you already
