Original subtitles

Three years have passed since I started training at Arel's house.

Mm, delicious!

You've become quite good at making tea, Reiner!

Oh, thank you.

It's because you've been such a great teacher.

Mira?

What happened?!

When I went to wake Arel up, there was this note...

What?

I'm off to the City of Magic. Arel.

What?!

My big brother left again!

There, there...

No matter how excited he was about the City of Magic,

he should've at least said goodbye.

I've pulled similar stunts in the past, myself...

I didn't realize how it much it hurts to get left behind.

You better not leave us behind like that, okay, Reiner?

I won't.

There are still things left for me to learn.

First my daughter and now Arel.

I'm starting to think our family is a little too free-spirited.

Who do they get it from?

Mornin'.

Hm?

Whatever. As long as they stay healthy!

Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?!

Arsbell, The City of Magic

How long until we reach the City of Magic?

Hm... about two days, perhaps.

But you sure have changed, sir.

You did big things in the City of Swords three years ago.

But right after, you returned to your hometown in the sticks,

and now you're headed to the City of Magic?

Say, are you planning to go to the Institute of Magic as well?

Yeah, I am.

That's weird. You're way older than we are.

Kinda late to be entering the Institute, huh?

Quit that, Kaito.

He's clearly been failing the entrance exam over and over.

No, actually...

Don't make fun of people who are striving to overcome their shortcomings!

Even though you're trying to stick up for him, you just dissed him way harder than me!

What? That isn't true!

E-excuse me...

P-please stop fighting.

Shut up, Collette!

I'd never waste my time fighting this loser.

Like I'd fight with a brat like you!

Grr...

What?!

Are they all Spellcasters?

If they are, then they must have recently gotten their blessings.

So, what kind of magic's your specialty?

Mine is Red Magic, by the way.

My specialty, huh...

Listen close, Arel.

BLACK: Darkness and death related magic

WHITE: Light and life related magic

YELLOW: Earth and metal related magic

GREEN: Air and weather related magic

BLUE: Water, ice, and cold related magic

RED: Fire and heat related magic

There are different types of magic.

There are six types: red, blue, green, yellow, white, and black.

The magic type people can acquire differs depending on the person.

However, in your case, you aren't confined to just one.

So we'll try out all of the ones that I know.

Okay.

Now, which should we start with...

Hmm, I don't have one. I'm classless, after all.

What?

Kaito, he's teasing you.

Someone without a class would never bother trying to get into the Institute of Magic!

What?!

You jerk! That wasn't even a funny joke!

I'm not joking, here's my Class ID.

Huh, no way! It's true!

This is the first time I've seen a classless ID.

You're seriously going to learn magic as a classless?

You're out of your mind.

This feels like deja vu...

What's happening?

I just heard a really loud voice...

That sounded like a male troll king.

It must have roared at us from somewhere in the forest.

A troll king?! Those things are super strong!

Get outta here quick, old man!

We can't...

My horses have fainted!

What do we do?!

We're gonna die!

Calm down, Collette.

It may be a king, but a troll's a troll!

Th-that's right.

They're huge and they move slow!

I'm sure we can hit it with our attacks.

We might be able to take it down if we work together!

O-okay.

All right!

Let's use all our power and beat this thing!

You idiot! Don't let it freak you out!

I mean it's huge and all, but we can take it!

Uh...

I-i-it's ginormous!

What the heck?!

We can't do this!

We're no match for that thing!

This is bad! My magic can't beat it!

Same here!

Kaito?!

Kaito!

There's no way I'm just gonna lose without even trying!

I'll do some kind of damage if I use all my mana!

Fireball!

Hooray! That one hi-

It didn't do any damage!

That just made it mad!

Aw crap! I'm already out of mana!

Explosion!

Wha? Wha? Whaaaat?!

What happened?

The troll just suddenly turned to ash.

I should have held back a bit.

That was definitely overkill.

Don't tell me, YOU cast that spell just now?!

Hey, Collette, isn't Explosion a big deal?

Yeah, it's supreme level Red Magic.

Isn't that the class of magic that a Mage uses?!

Gosh, thanks so much!

You've saved my hide once again.

I'd like to see what you can do next time.

I've had about as much trouble as I can take.

U-um...

I'm sorry about earlier!

Hm?

I had no idea you were a great master!

Please forgive how rude I was to you!

I'm not a master.

Oh, please! You must be!

Let me learn from you, Master!

I want to become an amazing wizard like you!

I'm telling you, you've got it wrong.

Wanna see my classless Class ID again?

That document has got to be a fake!

I get it, you've got some reason to hide who you truly are, right?

Awesome! You're so cool, Master!

No, I'm telling you, I'm genuinely classless.

Okay everyone, we're off to the City of Magic.

I should've just used my sword to beat it instead...

Arsbell, The City of Magic

Master!

Over there in the middle of the lake is Arsbell, the City of Magic!

Oh...

Just like Dad said, it's situated in an interesting spot.

I've heard they maintain this bridge with magic!

It really suits the City of Magic, right?

The cocky Kaito is acting like a tamed puppy...

That's a serious shock to see,

no matter how impressive Mr. Arel and his magic are!

No way! Do you think he cast a spell on Kaito?

Let's fall back and watch them.

Talk about a troublesome misunderstanding.

You're taking the entrance exam for red magic, right?

You're with me, then!

So the institute is divided based on the magic?

Of course.

The magiscript, vocabulary, and grammar are different based on the type of magic.

I'll be in the school of blue magic.

I-I'm in the green one.

I'm so nervous!

Make sure you don't bomb the test and get sent right back to the sticks!

The exact same goes for you!

An entrance exam, huh...

I really hope they don't reject me outright like in the City of Swords.

All examinees, please fill out your application and submit it at the reception desk.

Master! The reception desk for the entrance exam is over there.

And you are Arel... from Feighnott.

Your class is...

is this correct?

It is.

Am I going to get denied for being classless after all?

Everything seems to be in order.

Your examinee number is 12.

Does it matter if I'm classless?

You have the right to take the test, no matter your class.

Oh, okay.

This place is completely different from the City of Swords.

Alright! Let's go to the testing grounds, Master!

You'll pass in one go for sure, Master!

I sure hope so.

Fireball!

I did it!

Number 10, pass.

Yahoo!

Next, number 11.

Yes, sir!

Everyone's doing that basic Fireball, huh?

It's beyond pathetic.

Hmph.

My word! You're already an advanced class mage at your age?

Seriously?!

Is that impressive?

Only a real prodigy can get blessed with an advanced class right away!

He can sail straight into the Elite Course, the lucky guy!

Blessed as an advanced class, is he?

Well, even people like that can end up as little old men in the countryside, though.

Is it okay if I destroy that doll with my flames?

Yes, that's all right.

Master, he sure is a cocky one, huh?

You're really not one to talk.

Huh?

Oh.

Come forth and incinerate!

Eruption!

Holy cow... A pillar of fire!

That's what mages can do?!

Is he really just an examinee like us?

O-okay. He's pretty good.

But nothing compared to my Master!

I'm not going to take that lying down.

Are you saying that your Master or whatever is on the same level as me?

You dummy! He's even better than you!

Isn't that right, Mas-

Stop it.

Guess your Master knows true talent when he sees it!

Mere Spellcasters just getting their start could never melt metal with flames like I can!

Turn around and take a good look.

It didn't melt?!

I can't believe my Eruption didn't melt it...

That's a mythril target, created by the yellow magic school.

It won't melt so easily.

Mythril?!

They say that material is harder than any mineral, right?

The City of Magic is so amazing.

Hah-hah!

All that smug attitude came back to bite you! Loser!

If Master had done it-

Keep me out of it.

Next up, number 12.

After hearing all that bragging about your skill,

I expect to see something impressive!

I didn't say anything.

O'course! Master will show you the strongest magic!

This is the first time I'm casting magic on mythril.

I may not get this chance again, so I'll give it all I've got.

Eruption!

Huh?

What the heck was that?

He only made a skinny little fire column that lasted for a second.

Talk about pathetic!

What a riot. I enjoyed that more than I thought.

What?!

Master would never screw up!

Did that mythril... just melt?!

All right!

He must've cheated! Eruption can't melt mythril!

You're right. Actually, that wasn't a proper Eruption skill.

Then how?

It's a technique that I honed myself

by compressing the scope and ignition time of the flame.

What? You made your own magic?

That's preposterous!

I knew you could do it, Master!

I'll prove myself worthy as your pupil, just watch me!

Uh...

Where are you going?

I'm going to the next testing site.

Huh?

Waterball!

I hit it!

Yeah, so you passed? Congrats.

Whoa! Why are you here?!

I'm here to take the test.

Huh? But you went to the red magic school, right?

Next examinee, please.

Ice Edge!

He broke the mythril statue?!

Okay, guess I'll head to the green magic school next.

Ugh, I knew this was beyond me...

Collette?

Yikes!

A-Arel.

What's wrong? Why're you here?

Did you fail the test?

No, but I'm so nervous I can't move my legs...

I haven't even finished registering!

I see.

I'm totally helpless when my nerves get the better of me.

The other two have been helping me up until now, but...

You have to take the exam on your own.

Um, Mr. Arel, how do you deal with things when you're nervous?

Sorry, but I've never really been nervous before.

Although there have been times when I wasn't able to move my body like normal.

Eh?!

Actually, I'm curious to know:

How does one get nervous?

U-um...

Well, usually it happens when people are afraid they might screw up.

Can I ask you another question?

Y-yes.

Have you gone your entire life without ever screwing up even once?

No, no! It's the opposite!

I'm always messing up, so I want to avoid that.

Hm. I don't really understand.

I'm no different since I mess up and lose all the time.

Why does that scare you so much?

I don't understand what you mean.

Generally speaking, nobody's life gets ruined over a single screw up.

Think about it, this is just an entrance exam. It can't kill you or anything.

Wait, can it kill you?!

N-no! Of course not!

You're right!

Messing up won't cost me my life, so I can just try again!

Exactly.

Thank you! I'll do my best!

Glad to hear it.

Speaking of...

how does the green school exam work?

It's pretty simple.

You just have to make a windmill on the training ground spin with magic.

Tornado!

Eh?!

He tore the windmill to pieces...

Wait, is it made of wood instead of mythril?

Number 15, you've passed!

Er...

Next person, please aim one windmill over.

I have to go after that amazing display of magic?!

Nobody's life gets ruined over a single screw up.

Number 16, ready to go!

I successfully passed both yellow and white magic entrance exams,

now all that's left is the black magic school.

This looks like an abandoned building.

What's that?

Oh no!

Hey, where's Gooey?!

Have you seen my Gooey?! Gooey's gone missing!

I heard something coming from that box.

Gooey! Gooey! Gooey!

Gooey! It's Mama!

This baby here is a chimera that I made myself!

Cute, right?

You're an unfamiliar face.

Welcome to the school of black magic!

How mean! Why would anyone suddenly behead a lady?!

Are you an undead monster?

No, I'm Latalia.

As you can see, I am a beautiful office clerk!

You're just a skeleton, no matter how you slice it.

Tell me, Latalia.

Where's the entrance exam for the black magic school?

Oh, there's no entrance exam here.

Huh?

There's never been many students who want to learn black magic.

That's why everyone is welcome here!

Uh, shouldn't you be a little more selective?

Gooey, my darling!

Well, looks like you really do welcome everyone...

Ah! Master!

We finally found you!

What's wrong? Why're you all here?

You're part of the red magic school, right?!

Huh?

No, he's in blue!

He's definitely in green!

What are all of you talking about?

About which school you're going to!

You're definitely in red, right?!

You're part of red since you went there first, isn't that true?!

No, he's in blue!

You should have seen how amazing the number of sharp icicles he summoned!

Oh yeah? Well, I saw him blow away a windmill with a tornado spell!

I'm not going to pick one.

Eh?

I'll attend all of them.

Eeeehhh?!

No matter how good at magic you are, it's crazy to go to three schools at once!

Actually, I'm going to six.

Huh?

Red, blue, green, yellow, white, and black.

I'm going to be a student at all the schools.

Whaaaaaaaaaat?!
