WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.200 The protagonist of this story, Aragi Kai, seemed to everyone 2 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.320 around him to be an ordinary, gloomy teenager from high school, 3 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.599 but in reality, he wasn't that simple at all. He 4 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.039 was a professional assassin who terrified his victims, none of 5 00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.719 whom had ever escaped. Aragi Kai's classmates hated him and 6 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:20.039 bullied him because of his anti social character and weird aura. 7 00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.960 But everything changed one day when Ergi and his classmates 8 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.359 were suddenly transferred to another world, a world of swords 9 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.359 and magic. A mysterious messenger announces to them all that 10 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:31.600 they are all heroes called to this world to defeat 11 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.439 the demon King, and for such a daunting task, she 12 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.280 bestows them with superpowers, and obviously, aragi Kai gets the 13 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.679 most powerful one of all. Well, if you want to 14 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.119 know which one, let's start this story from the beginning 15 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:45.280 and get to the bottom of it. The scene starts 16 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.920 with a man running through a dark alley. He looked 17 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.560 anxious and afraid. As he came to a stop, he 18 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.880 looked back and thought that maybe he got away somehow, 19 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.640 but then suddenly someone put a knife against his throat. 20 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.000 He told the assassin that he would give him money 21 00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.880 if he wanted it in return for his life, but 22 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.960 the very next second, the assassin slit his throat. The 23 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.159 next morning, a young schoolboy was on his way to 24 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.159 school and he looked tired. His name was Aragi Kai. 25 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.079 He yawned and thought that after working all night long, 26 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.920 it really sucked to go to school. He worked as 27 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.239 an assassin. When he entered his classroom, other students began 28 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.840 whispering among themselves. A boy named Midu Shuji greeted him 29 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.599 with a wide smile. He was the soccer club's ace 30 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.159 and the class president. Kai returned his greeting coldly and 31 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.879 sat down at his desk. Meanwhile, a girl named Nagase 32 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.239 Rina saw it all and commented that Kai was rude 33 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.959 as always. She was a fashionable girl who stood out 34 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:36.719 from the rest of the girls in the class. She 35 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.879 went to Shuji and told him sternly that he need 36 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.000 not greet people like Kai. Shuji defended him by saying 37 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.280 that he might be tired, that's why he was so cold. Suddenly, 38 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.519 another student entered the classroom, and upon seeing him, Rena 39 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.719 remarked how an even ruder person just entered. The rude 40 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.359 student's name was Arashi Shunske, the leader of a notorious 41 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.239 local gang. A few students greeted Arashi, but when he 42 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.840 saw that Kai was sleeping instead of green him, he 43 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.719 went to his bench and yelled at him to get up. 44 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:04.920 He drew his hand to grab him, but Kai grabbed 45 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:06.680 his hand before he could react and said that he 46 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.039 was sleepy and asked what he wanted from him. He 47 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.360 let go of his hand, and Arashi called him a weirdo. Suddenly, 48 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.159 another student named Kenzaki Rin asked them to be quiet. 49 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.840 She was beautiful and talented both in martial arts and literature. 50 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.639 She was the cool and aloof top beauty of the school. 51 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.199 He confronted her, but was cut short by another girl 52 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.520 named Hashimoto Mire, who was a serious disciple committee girl 53 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.800 who really cared about order. Watching her ready to fight Arashi, 54 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.560 a boy named Narumi Yoshia told her that Arashi would 55 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.960 just blow her away. Yosha was a shallow and frivolous guy. 56 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.560 Everyone soon got back to their seats. This was Shinzo 57 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.000 High School, first year class, and it was just another 58 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.439 regular day in a class with a lot of problems. 59 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.800 Kai was still keeping his head down when he suddenly 60 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.520 sensed something a weird sensation coming from under Shuji's feet. 61 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.800 A bright blue light began emitting from the floor and 62 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.199 a magic spell circle appeared. Soon everyone in the class 63 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.560 noticed it and were confused and showing. The magic circle 64 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.879 grew in size and covered the entire classroom floor. Shuji 65 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.360 instructed everyone to leave the classroom, but Kai knew that 66 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.759 they would not make it in time. Soon, the bright 67 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.159 light blinded everyone. They were all teleported inside what looked 68 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.319 like an old castle. Everyone was lying unconscious on the ground, 69 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.479 and Kai was the first to come back to his senses. 70 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.080 He noticed that the building was made of stone, with 71 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.439 several large pillars to take cover, and there was only 72 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.439 one exit. Soon, the other students also began coming back 73 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.960 to their senses. Everyone was panicking, but Shuji calmed them down, 74 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.080 and Kai was relieved that Shuji was someone who could 75 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.199 keep the whole class from losing their composure. Urashi got 76 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.039 up and said that they could not waste any time, 77 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.840 and he asked his two minions to follow him. Kai 78 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.280 stopped him and said that he could hear footsteps coming 79 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.639 towards them from the other side of the door. Kai 80 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.960 sensed that there was a man and a woman coming through. 81 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:49.840 Soon the door opened and a girl and an old 82 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.960 man entered the room. They both looked like medieval night 83 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.159 and princess and were wearing unusual and old fashioned flowy 84 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.680 clothes with capes. The girl greeted the students, saying that 85 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.120 they were impressive and called hero candidates. The students were 86 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.800 surprised to see them. Kai analyzed both of them and 87 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.800 concluded that the man had the physique of a sword 88 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.360 user and he had his guard up too, and as 89 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.159 for the girl, he sensed slight muscles, but she seemed 90 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.360 pretty normal to him. The girl introduced herself as Leonora, 91 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.439 the archbishop of the Holy Country. Dig arrested, and the 92 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.560 man with her was Gaius, who was a knight and 93 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.199 her protector. Aashi told her that he had never heard 94 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.040 of the country before and asked her if she was 95 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.920 messing with them. The girl replied that she certainly was 96 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.639 not messing with them. Shuji came forward and explained to 97 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.199 her that they suddenly found themselves there and were thus 98 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.040 a little bit on edge. The girl began explaining the 99 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.439 entire thing to them. She began by saying that they 100 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.639 were summoned to a parallel world as a hope for 101 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.720 humanity to defeat the evil demon King. They were the 102 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.360 parallel world's hero candidate. It was hard for the students 103 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.240 to believe something like that. Gaius told Arashi to watch 104 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.279 his mouth while talking to the saint of the country. 105 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.759 Arashi was unfazed by this, and this made Gaius draw 106 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.639 his sword, but Leonora pacified him. Arashi jumped at Gaius, 107 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.480 and Kai I was amazed by his bravery. Before Aurashi 108 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.079 could land an attack, Guius flung his sword and made 109 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.399 a little cut on his head. His attack was so 110 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.480 fast that no one saw it. Leonora apologized for his 111 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.800 aggression and said that she would explain everything to them 112 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.199 in detail, but for that they all had to be 113 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.480 quiet and listen to her. Her demeanor suddenly changed from 114 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.439 being calm to being scary. She explained that because of 115 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.959 the Demon King's invasion, humanity of that world was facing extinction. 116 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.160 The country of Digorest continued resisting, but they did not 117 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.160 have the power to completely stop the invasion anymore. Kai 118 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.680 thought that the story was a pretty common one. She 119 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.120 continued that they were the last hope of humanity. Upon 120 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.360 hearing this, the students replied that they could not do 121 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.920 this as they had never fought before. Some of the 122 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.120 girls were already crying. Gaya said that it might sound impossible, 123 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:46.800 but they would have to try, as there was no 124 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.160 way for them to return to their own world unless 125 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.040 they defeat the demon king. The students were even more 126 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.720 shocked upon hearing this. Kai knew that he only said 127 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.240 that to motivate them. He thought that the people who 128 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.079 had always lived peacefully could not just suddenly start killing, 129 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.079 as for that they needed experience and talent. Arashi got 130 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.839 up with blood on his head and cursed them for 131 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.160 dictating them. He added that he hated people like them. 132 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.519 Gaius noticed that Arashi's spirit was still unbroken and wondered 133 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.959 if he could be a useful warrior. Gaius held his 134 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.120 sword and decided to kill Arashi as he could be 135 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.439 trouble to them, but before he could do anything, he 136 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.720 saw that Leonora was healing Arashi's wound. She explained that 137 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:23.839 the power she was using was called the System and 138 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.000 was granted to them by their gods. She simplified it 139 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.959 for them and said that it was just like magic 140 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.480 from their world. Kai noticed that she knew about their 141 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.240 culture and wondered if she had previously also summoned people 142 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.399 from their world. She walked towards Shuji while saying that 143 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.759 the power was the reason why she summoned them all there. 144 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.720 She raised her hands and Shuji's wrist began glowing, and 145 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.720 soon he had a sword made of light in his hand. 146 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.480 She further explained that they could wield the power of 147 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.319 the system and awaken their inate abilities of divine protection. 148 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:52.720 She said that she knew she had a selfish request 149 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.639 as she called them all there and now they could 150 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:56.720 not leave, and asked them to lend her their powers. 151 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.560 Shuji said that no matter how much power they gave them, 152 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.279 they still could not fight right away. She replied that 153 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.680 they will indeed be trained, and during their training will 154 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.360 be taken care of. Shuji took control of the situation 155 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.720 and told his classmates that he knew they were scared, 156 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.959 but the first thing they needed was information and protection. 157 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.360 He told them that they should hear them for now, 158 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.079 and the classmates agreed with him. When Leonora saw that 159 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.199 they all were ready to lend their hands, she began 160 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.439 giving them their divine powers. Murri was given telekinesis. Arashi 161 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:29.199 got explosion powers, Rina received fire powers, Yoshia received wind powers, 162 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:33.240 and others also received different and amazing powers. Leonora asked 163 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.800 if anyone was left, and Kai raised his hand. She 164 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.000 gave him his powers too, and he noticed that his 165 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.120 field of vision was changing, and as soon as he 166 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.439 finished getting his powers, he could read Leonora's stats. His 167 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.759 eye color changed to red, and Leonora told him that 168 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.360 he had received the power of Judgment, which was rather rare. 169 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.480 The power would let him see his target's stats and details. 170 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.879 He tried his powers on himself and he was able 171 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.759 to see his own stats. Arashi also tried his powers 172 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.680 and made fun of Kai by saying that he only 173 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.439 got a new eye color. Kai noticed that the students 174 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.120 were acting high and mighty. They didn't even have much 175 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.920 information about the world yet, and their powers were also 176 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.720 borrowed and could be taken away any time, but he 177 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.600 was chill because he had plenty of other ways to 178 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.120 kill people. After everyone received their powers, Leonora told them 179 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.120 to take some rest. In the evening, the hero candidates 180 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:21.000 were taken to their personal rooms. Kai sneaked out of 181 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.800 his window in search of more information. Outside guards were 182 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.600 patrolling and talking about how the hero candidates looked weak. 183 00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.199 They made fun of how those kids are chosen to 184 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.879 defeat the demon king. One of them said that the 185 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.879 saints surely knows something which they do not. Kai listened 186 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.759 to their chat entirely. He used his judgment power to 187 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.799 check the stats of one of the guards and noticed 188 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.759 that he only knew swordsmanship. He soon left in search 189 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.559 of more information. He had also learned about the structure 190 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.240 of the city, which was a fortified city. He wanted 191 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.360 to get inside the inner castle, but the gates were 192 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.120 heavily guarded, so it was hard to sneak in. He 193 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.559 decided not to rush things and come back another time. Meanwhile, 194 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.879 in an open field, Rena was looking for a good 195 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.799 spot with her two minions. They were there to practice 196 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.679 their new powers. They began conjuring their respective elements and 197 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.120 observing them. As Rena was curious to know more about 198 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.159 the whole divine protection stuff. Kai was hiding in a 199 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.080 bush and spying on them when he suddenly felt a 200 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.200 strange sensation. The girls also heard a weird noise coming 201 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.159 from the bushes. It was a giant lizard looking creature 202 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.399 and was attracted by the girl's magic. Kai quickly used 203 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.519 his magic to see the monster's stats, and he was 204 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:27.120 shocked by its overwhelming stats. Soon, the monster roared and 205 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.320 began chasing the girls. Kai concluded that the lizard was 206 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.720 strong and aggressive, but it only ran in a straight 207 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.840 line and also lacked intelligence. He threw a knife at it, 208 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.639 and the knife successfully penetrated his thick skin. Meanwhile, Rena 209 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.559 stumbled and fell on the ground. The monster had caught 210 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.200 up to her and was about to step on her, 211 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.240 when suddenly it stopped moving. When the girls looked around, 212 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.720 they saw a knife puncturing its head and it was bleeding. 213 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.799 They wondered if someone had saved her, but they decided 214 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.679 not to stay there anymore and they left. Kai had 215 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.840 no reason to save them, but conscience did not let 216 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.320 him ignore the situation. He thought to himself that things 217 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.639 were not going to be easy around there if monsters 218 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.320 like those were freely roaming around. He went near the 219 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.759 monster's body to pick his knife when he suddenly sensed 220 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.000 someone near him. He hid behind the monster's body and 221 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.360 looked around, but did not see anyone. He went back 222 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.159 to his room too to avoid any trouble. After he left, 223 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.960 a person came out from behind a wall. The person 224 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.600 was covered in a robe, thus making it impossible for 225 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.360 anyone to look at their face. The person smashed the 226 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.360 monster's head, squeezing out its eyes. He said to himself 227 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.759 that he was disappointed after seeing how useless and weak 228 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.679 the hero candidates were, but Kai smelled just like him. 229 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.240 The next morning, Gius brought the dead monster's body to 230 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.919 the hero candidates, who were shocked to see something like that. 231 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.399 Gius explained that the monster was found dead last night 232 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.120 near the Royal capital. He continued that the demon king 233 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.360 drove the monsters to a frenzy and as a result, 234 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.279 they craved human flesh. He told the hero candidates that 235 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.440 they would be fighting things like that monster. Gaius asked Steady, 236 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.639 who was a researcher, if he found anything weird about 237 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.879 the monster, and he replied that there were traces of 238 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.720 sorcery being used, probably by a demon above mid grade. 239 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:04.720 He said that maybe they were scouting to see the 240 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:08.039 lower of the new hero candidates. Kai wondered if sorcery 241 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.000 was different from magic, since it was a new word 242 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.879 used by the researcher. Shuji asked if it meant that 243 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.000 the monster was controlled by a demon. Steady explained that 244 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.879 strong demons can use servitude spells and hence could control 245 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.440 weaker monsters. Gaius dragged Steady away, but he wanted to 246 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.240 explain more. Kai deemed Steady a great help in gathering information. 247 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.200 He could use his help. He suddenly realized that the 248 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.639 true identity of those eyes he felt back then last 249 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.480 night was a demon. The demon was skillful. Because Kai 250 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.039 barely noticed him, he thought that the demon might be 251 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.799 around them. Right at that moment, he suddenly felt someone 252 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.440 looking at him. Hurashi told Gaius that they could not 253 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:44.759 get back to their world without killing the demon anyway, 254 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:46.600 and he did not plan to stay in that world 255 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.840 for long. The other students also agreed with him. Kai 256 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:51.639 thought that it was best that they quickly learned the 257 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.480 weight of the truth. Suddenly, Leonora walked in and told 258 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.360 them not to be afraid, as they just did not 259 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.080 know how to use their powers yet. All they needed 260 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.559 was some training. Since they were from a different world, 261 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.639 their growth rate would be different from the people of 262 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.519 that world. And so a week had passed since the 263 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.519 student started training. Kai was reading books in the library 264 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.279 and he already could understand every letter of the new language. 265 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.240 He thought that it was strange enough that they could 266 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.679 talk to each other in the first place. His judgment 267 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.799 power was not fit for battle, so he was left 268 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.120 out of the training, but was allowed to enter the library. 269 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:23.960 He could not find many books on their history and culture, 270 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.960 and even not about demons. The strongest five among them 271 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.399 were Narumi, the wind controller, Arashi with his explosion powers, 272 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.039 Konzaki with her telekinesis, Hashimoto with her land power, and 273 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.120 Rena with her firepowers. However, there was another person with 274 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.840 a clearly extraordinary growth rate. It was Shuji. He grew 275 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.840 stronger than the people he learned swordsmanship from. Kai used 276 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.159 his judgment power and noticed that all his stats were 277 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.559 above B grade, and just last week they were below 278 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.480 D grade. Suddenly, two boys came to Kai and began 279 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.360 making fun of him, and he noticed that even the 280 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.879 others were looking down at him. They were growing impudent 281 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.639 after getting their new powers. One of the boys tried 282 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.240 to bully Kai, but Kai sneakly threw him on the ground. Meanwhile, 283 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.320 Leonora and Gaius arrived at the training ground. She announced 284 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.600 that since they all had grown quicker than she had imagined. 285 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.759 She had decided to move their plans forward. Narumi asked 286 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:12.360 her if she was planning to send them to fight 287 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.679 the Demon King, but she refused it, saying that she 288 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:18.399 wanted them to now practice fighting monsters. Everyone looked anxious 289 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.159 when they heard it. The next day, Gaius and Leonora 290 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.519 took all the hero candidates to the middle of a forest, 291 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.559 and Gaius explained that they were there for combat drills. 292 00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.360 It was a place full of upstarso they could not 293 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:31.919 move as freely as one group. That's why they were 294 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.320 going to be divided into teams of two to three people. 295 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.279 Hearing these, all the hero candidates made their own groups, 296 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.480 leaving Kai and Kanzaki alone. They had no choice but 297 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:42.639 to team up with each other. Kai thought that she 298 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.759 had a confident and apathetic personality, and also she was 299 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:49.559 proud she caught him staring at her. Meanwhile, Leonora announced 300 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:51.600 that since it was a special occasion, so the team 301 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.639 which will defeat the most monsters would receive a surprise reward. 302 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.440 Soon the combat drills began on their way. Kanzaki told 303 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.240 Kai that her powers were superior to everyone else's, so 304 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.639 she did not need him to do anything. She asked 305 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.080 him not to stand in his way. Kai accepted the 306 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.200 offer and said that he would leave everything to her. 307 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.399 Seeing this, she asked him if he did not have 308 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.840 any pride. He sensed four entities around them who were hiding. 309 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.639 One of the monsters rushed at them, and Kenzaki used 310 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.159 her powers. Her power was called domination, and it was 311 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:21.759 an ability that enforced the user's orders on their target. 312 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.279 She ordered the goblin to bow down, and he did 313 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.720 exactly that. She looked visibly tired After a few minutes. 314 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:29.879 She explained to him that she used to get tired 315 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.000 when she used her powers for too long because it 316 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.120 consumed a lot of mana. He asked her to just 317 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.720 kill the goblin because another monster was about to attack, 318 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.919 but she was a little hesitant because to her, the 319 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.519 monster looked a bit like a human. Ki put sense 320 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.759 in her by saying that it was a monster after all, 321 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.759 which tried to attack them earlier. He picked a stone 322 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:48.960 and concluded that she was just a naive student from 323 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.720 Japan who was too used to peace. He was playing 324 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.679 with the store when suddenly the other three goblins also appeared. 325 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:57.440 She ordered the goblins to bow down and ask Kai 326 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.120 to help him instead of just standing there. Ki I 327 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:01.799 replied that she was the one who asked him not 328 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.559 to get in between. She sighed and ordered the goblins 329 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.120 to twist their own necks, and this killed them. He 330 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.559 was amazed to see that she could enforce such orders too, 331 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.200 to which she replied that the more difficult the order was, 332 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.279 the lower were the chances of success. She was disgusted 333 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.639 to see the corpses of the goblins, but Kai comforted 334 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.240 her with his words of wisdom. She asked him how 335 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:21.879 he could be so calm when he did not even 336 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.360 have powers. He told her not to worry about him, 337 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.519 as this was his strong point. He asked her if 338 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.279 she wanted to return, if she was too scared of 339 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.200 it all, but obviously she denied the proposal with pride. 340 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.840 He knew that she was just trying to look brave, 341 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.000 but he also admitted that she was not too bad 342 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.919 after all. Meanwhile, Narumi and Hashimoto were running from a 343 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.559 monster who was too strong for them. But running was 344 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.759 not an option for them, so they decided to attack 345 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.759 the monster together using their wind and rock powers. They 346 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.799 hit the monster with a giant bowlder, but it barely 347 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.679 scratched it. They were helpless and did not know what 348 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.519 to do next. Kenzaki wanted to go back to her world, 349 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.720 as she had not repaid her grandfather for raising her, 350 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.960 yet she really wanted to show him how much she 351 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.480 had grown up. She was lost in her thoughts when 352 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:03.600 Kai asked her if she wanted to keep going since 353 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.320 they could get lost. They both got into a banter, 354 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:09.159 and she wondered why Kai was so mysterious and stubborn. 355 00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.200 They were messing around when suddenly they heard a loud noise. 356 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:16.279 Konzaki recognized the voice to be Hashimoto's. Kai asked what 357 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.840 they should do, and she replied that they should obviously 358 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.840 help her. Meanwhile, Hashimoto was thrown feets away by the 359 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.600 monster and she was wounded and bleeding. She asked Narumi 360 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.320 to run away, but it was too late as the 361 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.559 monster was about to attack him too. Kenzaki used her 362 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.519 powers and ordered the monster to stop. Narumi thanked her, 363 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.720 and she said that the monster was too powerful and 364 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.759 could not be halted for too long. Kai asked Narumi 365 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.320 if Hashimoto was alive, to which he replied that she was, 366 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.039 but she was really injured. Kai asked her to carry 367 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:46.200 her on his back and get out of there. He 368 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.960 was reluctant to leave, but seeing her condition, he left. 369 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.519 When he left, Kai used his powers to see the 370 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:54.440 monster's stats and was amazed to see some pretty high stats, 371 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.519 especially the defense. He knew his attacks would not damage 372 00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.440 him a lot, and he also noticed that it was 373 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.519 a mutant, and he wondered what it was exactly. Kenzaki 374 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.240 yelled that she could not hold it any more, and 375 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:06.000 he told her that she had bought them enough time 376 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.920 and they should run away too. She agreed, seeing the situation, 377 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.160 but she could not use her legs anymore because she 378 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.279 had used all her energy into stopping the monster. Seeing 379 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:16.839 how bad the situation was, Kai pulled out a smoke 380 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.680 grenade and triggered it. This bought him some more time 381 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.519 to grab Konzaki and hide away. She was a little 382 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.079 flustered for being carried in his arms. She asked him 383 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:26.920 what the smoke was and he explained that it was 384 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:28.759 a smoke grenade which he had made while they all 385 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.240 were training. He was lying as he had some equipment 386 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.200 on himself before being summoned. Since it was not much, 387 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:36.920 he did not want to use them carelessly. They were 388 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.400 basic assassin equipment. Kanzaki apologized to him, since she was 389 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.039 the one who said that they should go and save 390 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.160 them and she ended up being saved herself. Kai asked 391 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.359 her not to say sorry. Instead she could thank him again. 392 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.960 A banter between them followed. She said that they should 393 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.160 run away, but he replied that there was no need 394 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.759 for that. They both saw Shuji and others arriving at 395 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.480 the location, and without wasting any time, he attacked the 396 00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:01.359 bear for hurting his friends. Uji swiftly attacked the monster 397 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:04.119 and injured his hand. Rena jumped in and used her 398 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:06.079 fire powers at the monster, but it didn't seem to 399 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.119 affect it much except for slowing it. They again jumped 400 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.799 at the monster. All the while someone was watching them 401 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.359
