The Arnold Academy of Magic is a school for the elite...and Ray White is just your ordinary guy. In fact, he doesn't seem particularly skilled with magic at all, and is a bit of a klutz. Which is why he has nothing to do with the rumor that one of the great magicians, the Iceblade Sorcerer, is a member of the incoming class...right?

00:00I can't believe it. Ray was one of the Seven Grands this whole time. The best of the best,
00:12the Iceblade Sorcerer himself. We're nothing alike. He's had to overcome a life full of
00:18adversity.
00:19I'd expect nothing less from Amelia!
00:20Well, Dad, she is the eldest daughter of House Rose.
00:21And she's so talented. She's got a bright future ahead. She's amazing!
00:22They can think whatever they want. I'm never going to amount to anything anyway. I just
00:36feel so empty inside. Trapped. Like I'm a bird in a cage.
00:42I have my eyes! It burns!
00:50Who cares what they think? But what about Ray? I figured he'd be head over heels for
00:56me by now. Who knows, maybe my body just isn't doing it for him.
01:12I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:19I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:24I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:28I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:31I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:34I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:37I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:40I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:43I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:46I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:49I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:52I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:55I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
01:58I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
02:01I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
02:04I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
02:07Closing the path to freedom
02:10With anxiety and fear
02:12Removing the limit
02:14I want to save the people I care about
02:17Because there's no excuse for pain to become such a thing
02:23No matter how many times I get hurt
02:25If I'm with you
02:27Dystopia
02:28The dystopia of regret
02:37How's everyone doing? It's me, Carol Carol!
02:40How about we kick off today's class with a little magic chevalier refresher?
02:45Now then, the chevalier is a magic sword fighting tournament
02:48held between the three great academies of sorcery.
02:51First year students will compete in the rookie bracket
02:54while our second years and above get to spice things up in the main event.
02:58Per standard rules and regulations, each academy gets to select
03:01five competitors to participate in the tournament.
03:03But since our very own Rebecca Bradley took home the big prize,
03:06our academy isn't limited to just five.
03:09Oh no, my newly educated lovelies.
03:11We get to send our six best students. Isn't that great?
03:15We're known for being the strongest and most well-rounded school overall.
03:19But Diom pumps out some of the best fighters.
03:22While Murcross prides themselves in being at the forefront of magic innovation,
03:26that's why many of their students go on to become researchers.
03:29Needless to say, each school has their own advantages,
03:32so we should have a great competition.
03:34And let's not forget the organizational staff.
03:37Although their job isn't as glamorous,
03:38we wouldn't be able to have the tournament without their help.
03:41Make no mistake, we're all counting on you.
03:46Now, who's ready to shake things up at the quarter?
03:49I don't want to brag, but we're going to crush it.
03:51You've got to be freaking kidding me.
03:56Is this a joke?
03:57What's going on, Ray?
03:59You know exactly what's going on.
04:01Why her? Why is that insufferable lunatic here?
04:04Well, if you're referring to Carol, it's because she was available,
04:07and I need her assistance.
04:09It's my responsibility to choose faculty that will keep the academy safe,
04:12and I trust her.
04:13If you needed assistance, you could have just asked me for help.
04:16I'm begging you, can we get anyone but her?
04:18I know she's a lot to handle.
04:20That's an understatement. You know how I feel about her.
04:22She's the only person I can't stand.
04:24And now that woman's my homeroom teacher?
04:26Pull yourself together, Ray.
04:28Carol's unique brand of sorcery fills a space the academy's been missing.
04:31Not to mention, she seems pretty popular with the students, too.
04:35That's beside the point.
04:37These kids haven't been exposed to Carol's true nature the way I have.
04:40The sooner you fire her, the better off this academy will be.
04:45Take it back. You don't really mean it, do you, Ray Ray?
04:49You wouldn't want to make Miss Carol Carol sad.
04:53Come back!
04:55Stop it!
04:59Sorry, she's here to stay.
05:01Despite Carol's abundance of eccentricities, she's quite gifted.
05:10If you had to guess, who do you think's gonna win this one?
05:13I couldn't tell you her name, but my bet is on the girl with the blue hair.
05:16If you watch them both closely,
05:18you can see how fast this girl assembles the code to fire super accurate attacks,
05:22while the poor guy she's up against is struggling and failing to keep up.
05:25Based on her overall performance, I'd say she's got the better chance of winning for sure.
05:31Well, that was fast.
05:33Yeah, that's not creepy or anything.
05:35What are you saying?
05:36Don't play dumb with me, pretty boy.
05:37It's kind of weird that you can tell who's gonna win a fight seconds after it starts.
05:41Is it, though? It was obvious that she was on another level.
05:44Really, at this stage, it only takes about three seconds of fighting to tell who's gonna win.
05:49Creepy...
05:52You got this, Miss Amelia!
05:55This is already over.
05:57Even a pigtail prodigy knows who'll win this fight.
06:02The winner is... Amelia Rose!
06:04Six seconds?! That has to be a new record!
06:07Amelia's so freaking awesome!
06:09Yeah, she is. At what cost?
06:11Clearly, she's a winner.
06:13But it doesn't look like her head's in the game.
06:16It's her expression.
06:18That's the face of someone losing fights, not winning them.
06:23We're expecting great things from you, Amelia.
06:26I know that, Father.
06:27My eldest daughter. You represent House Rose.
06:31I expect you to compete like our honor depends on it.
06:34Yes, of course I will.
06:36When it comes to Arianne Algren, failure is not an option under any circumstance.
06:43Never forget that your actions affect the family's reputation.
06:47You understand?
06:48Yes, understood.
06:52Should we be worried about Arianne Algren?
06:54Afraid so. Diom has already selected her as one of the representatives at the tournament.
06:59That makes sense. I mean, I would too.
07:01What makes her special compared to our competitors? Is she really strong or something?
07:05She's very strong. What's more, her attitude is very different from Amelia's, even though they both come from great houses.
07:11Well, how do I put this into words?
07:13Arianne is very proud of her social status, and it motivates her to be competitive.
07:18Amelia could care less about that.
07:20Once, I was fortunate enough to see Miss Algren practice in person.
07:24Even though I was older than her, she could easily outmaneuver me.
07:27The girl reminded me of a majestic eagle soaring across the evening sky.
07:33She may be a formidable opponent, but if I know Amelia Rose, she'll fight like her life depends on it.
07:39That's true. I feel the same way.
07:42I don't know why we're wasting time talking about those two when Rebecca's just gonna win first place again like she did last year.
07:48That's very sweet of you, Dina.
07:55Rose wins. Excellent work. Amelia won every match and secured her spot in the Magic Chevalier.
08:01Holy crap! Amelia's in first place!
08:03I had a feeling she'd go all the way!
08:05And she ended up finishing most of her fights in under ten seconds!
08:08Whoa, even though Albert lost, looks like he finished the qualifiers in second place!
08:14I've never seen him stay this calm after losing.
08:16Maybe he's changed.
08:20You did really great work out there, Miss Amelia!
08:22I expected no less!
08:23Congratulations, miss!
08:24Thank you.
08:27Don't worry, we'll cheer for you every step of the way!
08:29Every step of the way!
08:32I have so many people counting on me.
08:35I can't let them all down.
08:37Especially my father.
08:45It's time to pass this on.
08:48I'm sure you'll make good use of it someday.
08:58Ray? What are you doing here?
09:00Congratulations on qualifying first.
09:02Oh, thank you. It wasn't a big deal.
09:04You're uncomfortable because it was too easy.
09:07You're afraid you won't live up to your potential.
09:11I know that's what you were thinking.
09:14Why are you so afraid?
09:17Arianne Algren will be competing in the rookie bracket this year at the Magic Chevalier,
09:21and to be honest, I'm freaking out.
09:24I know she's stronger than me.
09:27We have less than a month until the tournament begins.
09:29But if you want, I'd be happy to train you.
09:31Are you sure? What about that stuff last week?
09:33It's fine.
09:34I don't need my abilities to train you,
09:36so I'm not too worried about getting in over my head.
09:39Also, my master left me with this.
09:41Should come in handy.
09:43Why? What is it?
09:44The Ainsworthian Boot Camp Field Manual.
09:46It's the same training that molded me into the fighter I am today.
09:50I completed the training when I was a boy and never looked back.
09:52Sign me up, Ray!
09:55That's the spirit!
09:56If you're committed to this training, there are some things you should know.
10:00The path ahead is going to be merciless.
10:02But if you make it to the end,
10:03you will be so much stronger than you could have ever imagined.
10:05I promise you that.
10:07So...
10:13The first time I met Arion, we were at one of those stuffy parties.
10:16The kind I absolutely loathe.
10:19Hello, are you Amelia?
10:22Nice to meet you.
10:23My name is Arion Algren.
10:25You want to come outside and play with me?
10:33Giggle
10:43We were the same age.
10:44Our families were both rich.
10:46It was only natural that we'd become close friends.
10:49Amelia, what's taking you so long?
10:52You're moving too fast, I can't keep up!
10:55Isn't it cool?
10:56This wiggly bug's a Stag Beetle.
10:58His horn is enormous, I've never seen anything like it!
11:06I won, but that was awfully close, wasn't it?
11:10I loved Arion.
11:11We used to have so much fun.
11:13She was my best friend.
11:19What? Is everything okay?
11:22I just wanted to say thank you for being my friend.
11:25I can't imagine what my life would be like if you never asked me to play.
11:30I feel the same way.
11:31I'm always grateful that you and I became best friends.
11:35I'm your best friend?
11:36Of course!
11:37Sometimes I even get worried.
11:39I'm afraid you're going to resent me for dragging you to all these random places around the kingdom.
11:44I could never resent you!
11:45If it wasn't for you, I think I'd be lonely staring out a window, waiting for the days to pass.
11:51But because of you, I've gone outside and explored the kingdom and seen so many things I wouldn't have otherwise.
11:57So thank you, Arion.
12:02Thanks, Emilia.
12:03No matter what, we are going to be best friends to the very end.
12:07I know it!
12:10I hope so.
12:11Forever.
12:12Yeah.
12:13Forever and always.
12:15We were so close back then.
12:51She embarrassed me that day, and I couldn't handle it.
12:55Still, she stayed the same.
12:58She never left.
12:59It was me who walked away.
13:08My family heritage.
13:09My standing in high society.
13:12At some point, I realized that my image had become everything to me.
13:17So I found a new way to survive.
13:19I need to win.
13:22I'm sorry.
13:25I guess Ray might not be the morning person I thought he was.
13:28Emilia! Good morning!
13:35What's going on? Ray, is that you?
13:37You're talking to Master White now.
13:40From this moment on, you are a private in the Ainsworthian Training, and I am your new instructor.
13:45Respond to me with Roger.
13:46Got it, private?
13:48Uh... what was that?
13:50Are you deaf? I said respond with Roger! Hear me now, private?
13:54Your first objective is to run a lap around the school, enter Kafka Forest, and we'll circle up back here.
13:58Get ready.
13:59That's 20 kilometers, and you have to do it without any body enhancements.
14:02Got it, private?
14:0420 kilometers without any body enhancements?
14:06Try that again.
14:07I'm sorry! I mean, Roger!
14:13Many sorcerers use body enhancement magic as a crutch.
14:15But when it comes down to it, you only have your own body to rely on, so make it count!
14:21No matter how strong-willed you are, it won't mean jack if your body can't keep up!
14:27Today's routine was light, but tomorrow we're pulling out all the stops. Try to rest up.
14:31Are you kidding me? This is your light routine?
14:34The only word that should come out of your mouth is Roger!
14:38Yes, Roger!
14:39Better!
14:46Hey, uh, what's going on with Emilia?
14:48Oh, she's been doing Ray's special training.
14:51I guess, uh, he's been pushing her pretty hard from dawn till dusk.
14:54Ah, is that why Ray's been leaving the dorm with that ridiculous mask on?
14:58He what?
14:59I was wondering why he'd want to jog with that thing on his face, but it all makes sense now.
15:03That makes sense to you?
15:10Hell, I'm trapped in a burning pit!
15:19Hurry on!
15:21Wait! Please don't go!
15:30Here, Emilia.
15:34What do you think you're doing to me, Elisa?
15:37I don't want you to feel scared and lonely.
15:39Elisa!
15:43I'm stuck! I can't pull myself away!
15:46It's okay, Emilia. You poor thing.
15:48Clarice?
15:49What? Why are you here?
15:53No, this can't be real. Am I in...
15:55Heaven?
15:56Come here, sweetie.
15:57Emilia!
16:01I'm just here to help you, Emilia!
16:12Ray, you're... standing pretty close.
16:16Wanna bite this apple?
16:22Private Emilia, rise and shine! You've got exactly one minute to hustle and get ready!
16:26This can't be happening to me.
16:28Are you still sleeping in there or am I gonna get a roger out of you? Hurry it up, Private! We're burnin' deadline!
16:34I'll be waiting downstairs!
16:36Ray?!
16:37Huh?
16:38Why the heck are you out here this early, screamin' like a banshee?!
16:41Why the heck don't you respect the Ainsworthian alarm clock wake-up technique?
16:45Also, you're not speaking to Mr. Ray White. I'm Legendary Nightmare Master White!
16:51I don't care what you're calling yourself today, just quit being a weirdo and stay away from the girls' dormitory!
16:56I apologize for overstepping my boundaries. I hope you can forgive me.
17:00But while I'm here, I gotta say, you guys are lookin' adorable in those jammies.
17:05I don't care what you think!
17:07Oh my...
17:09Private?! Where do you think you're goin'?
17:11Oh no!
17:13Isn't that... looks like Miss Amelia.
17:15I think we got ourselves a runner this morning, so it's a good thing I packed my chasin' boost like the pro chaser I am! Let's go!
17:21Jeez, Ray!
17:24You can't escape Master White!
17:25Have fun, guys!
17:26I wasn't done yelling at you, Ray!
17:33She got away again.
17:36Albert, that you?
17:37Hey, Ray.
17:38Are you here all by yourself? Where's your usual group?
17:42Every once in a while, I need to just be by myself.
17:45Yeah, totally get it.
17:48Ray...
17:49Hm?
17:50How can I become strong? You know, like you?
17:54I mean, honestly, I'm really struggling with a lot of self-doubt.
17:58I train every day, but... sometimes it's hard to get out of my own head, if that makes any sense.
18:05I understand, man.
18:07Don't rush. You've improved more than you realize, and you'll get better.
18:13Don't you worry so much, okay?
18:16You really think so?
18:18I sure do. Just keep at it, dude.
18:22I can't tell you how relieved I am.
18:24You make me believe it might actually happen.
18:28This is a sign I don't have to suck so much! I think my pig tails are about to catch on fire!
18:33And now you've managed to channel all of your frustration into your hair.
18:37Don't worry, I can fix it for you.
18:39I apologize for freaking out on you like that, Elisa.
18:42I'd prefer a simple thank you instead of an apology.
18:45Well, then a thank you is what you get.
18:49Have you guys seen Amelia?
18:50I haven't seen her in a little while. Everything okay?
18:53Yeah, it's fine.
18:54You can run all you want, Private, but you can't hide from me forever.
19:03Huh?
19:04Ah, there you are. I'm coming for you!
19:07Young man, you can't run in here!
19:13I can't do it.
19:20Hey! How the heck did you find me?
19:22You might have used my abilities.
19:23That's kind of excessive.
19:24As an instructor, it's my responsibility to locate any runaway privates.
19:28You say runaway like that, but you're not a runaway.
19:31You say runaway like I was trying to escape from you or something,
19:34but the reality is I just needed to be alone for a little while to try and catch my breath.
19:37Excuses!
19:39You've earned yourself a shiny penalty for running away twice today.
19:42Now let's talk about your self-training, which starts tomorrow, Private.
19:46I'll be holding onto you until the training grounds.
19:48This isn't a negotiation.
19:51Let's go. Pick up the pace, Private.
19:54Can I get a Roger?
19:57Training isn't easy.
19:59Yeah, for her either.
20:02So you want to make an Amelia cheering squad?
20:05Yes, if the club is willing to help.
20:08Why should we? What's in it for us?
20:10When you're in a battle, it's important to feel the presence of your classmates through their cheering.
20:15But it's not just that. I believe the volume of your cheers is equally important.
20:19As the Masters of Mass, not only do I think it's our duty,
20:22but I am certain we can use our strength to become the best cheer squad the school has ever known.
20:27Hmm, I'm listening.
20:29Huh, an Amelia cheer squad.
20:31Nothing could be better than that!
20:33Let's get out there and put these superior muscles to good use for a fellow classmate!
20:37What do you say?
20:41Ray!
20:42Sir!
20:44That's sub you asked for. Here.
20:46No way, thank you so much.
20:48I will refrain from inquiring how you plan to use these.
20:51I only request you go straight from the life of lifting.
20:54Yes, sir!
20:58Huh?
21:02Who was that?
21:04Uh, I don't care.
21:14You're so fast! I don't know how you do it, Amelia!
21:16Yeah, you just beat your previous time, too!
21:18Did I really? Thanks to training. And thank you for helping out so early.
21:22Oh, please don't say that.
21:24Just the other day, Clarice and I were talking about finding ways to help you prepare for the magic chevalier.
21:28Oh, you guys are way too sweet.
21:30Great job, Private Amelia! Looking pretty good out there!
21:33Roger! I'm training hard every day and doing my absolute best, sir!
21:39Who was that?
21:41Beats me.
21:43Me too.
21:45More sunshine today keeps the wilting away.
21:48You have to say it too, dear.
21:50More sunshine today keeps the wilting away.
21:53You have to say it too, Dina.
21:55You sure about that?
21:57Great to see you working so early, ladies!
22:01That girl's wearing a Diom uniform.
22:03If she doesn't go to this academy, why would she be walking around our campus?
22:07That's so weird.
22:10It's perfect. This disguise has gone off without a hitch.
22:13But the real test is yet to come.
22:15Now, I'm off to Diom Academy!
22:20Diom Academy
22:26Hey, cardboard box. Works every time.
22:29I've been here for hours and no one's noticed.
22:33I can't find you, Cindy! Leave me all alone! Where are you?
22:50What?
23:20Diom Academy
23:50Oh, hey! I guess this is the next episode of the Ice Blade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World!
23:55Infiltrating Diom! The target is a smart and beautiful young lady.
23:59Let's just hope she'll be ready for the most volatile tea time of her life!
24:02The girl who became the world's strongest sorcerer infiltrates the Sorcery Academy!
24:07This was Pigtails! You know, Clary's Cleveland.
