[GIRL 1] So this is rainfall!

-Lady Elfaria's amazing!
-[girl 2 squeals]

Isn't she? It's the first time
I've ever seen it!

[BOY] Even the sky is under
the Magia Vander's control!

[WILL] It's so far.

Can I reach it?

How can I ever hope
to stand by your side

if I can't control
even a single drop of water?

Elfie, is it impossible
to catch up to you?

♪

[ROSTY] Careful,
you'll catch a cold.

[Will gasps]

I made this myself, you know.

It's called an umbrella.

You're looking
at an artificer in training.

Who are you?

I'm Rosty Nowman.

Very nice to meet you.

The two of us are sharing
a dorm room from here on out.

And a friendship,
if you'd like that,

Will Serfort.

Don't leave me.

The Mage Queen's legacy

appears seamless
under your wand, Caldron.

The boy wouldn't have remained
in this institution

if not for my actions.

And therefore,
I shall guide and support him.

The memory reconfiguration
is under way.

His former self will be
restored before long.

In exchange,
his beloved Sleeping Beauty

remains rocking
in a cradle of memories.

Rest.

Let me ponder your dreams
a while longer.

EPISODE 17
THE DAY OF DEPARTURE

[Workner grunts]

[CLAIRIE] Finally!
Took you long enough.

What are you two doing here?

[EDWARD] Reckless disregard
for your own wounds.

You haven't changed a bit
since our school days,

you colossal idiot.

[CLAIRIE] Sure,
they won't kill you

but at least try to value
your life a little more.

Where am I?

[ELIZA] The school infirmary.

[WORKNER] Eliza.

I found you collapsed
on the academy roof last night

and brought you here.

You certainly gave me a scare.
I'm glad you're awake.

Careful now,
my dear vampire underclassman.

You sound like the worried wife.

My poor clueless witch senior.

Isn't it your brazen two-timing
that's the problem here?

You mustn't invite
painful misunderstandings.

Excuse you, Workner and Ed
are bound to me

through passionate friendship!

Stop trying to weasel your way
between classmates,

you thieving hussy!

[Workner sighs, gasps]

Hang on!
Where is Will right now?

Under the care of headmistress.

He's safe and sound,

so stop your thrashing,
you fool.

[WORKNER] Headmistress?

What could turn into a headache
tends to get straightened out

-when that witch is involved.
-[Workner sighs, gasps]

[EDWARD] Now save us
a headache and go to sleep.

[bell tolling]

-[door opens]
-[LYRIL] Good news!

Professor Workner's already
on the mend!

So's the other guy!

[GORDON] Are you serious?

Yeah! Got the news
from Professor Eliza herself.

Will is... [clears throat]

"If he can handle it,

the book learner oughta be
back for our graduation."

-That's good news.
-[Mike sighs]

[MIKE] He worked his butt off!

[RENAISSE] Things wouldn't have
felt right if he missed out.

[JORUA] He gives dwarves
a run for their coin!

Imagine being as naive as you.

What do you mean?

Don't you know he wields
an incomprehensible power?

Worrying over him is pointless.

What would make you say
something so spiteful?

You used to be so...

I don't need you
to preach to me

about the past, Emma!

Allow me to remind you...

Until recently, you all
scorned the laggard as well.

If only he could witness this
awfully convenient about-face.

The corruption runs deep.

From the bottom of the barrel
to my lord elf.

I believe it's time
to accept reality

and let go of your obstinance.

Resorting to peer pressure, eh?

As if I would ever give in
to such tactics.

If you won't acknowledge him,

at the very least,
you might show him

some gratitude
for rescuing you.

Reasonable, no?

Or have you forgotten
a mage's noblesse oblige,

good sir?

-[Julius grunts]
-[shatters]

[JULIUS] Pointless.

Whatever the case,
he can't ascend to the tower.

I say, good riddance!

[door closes]

Do you have anything to add?

Sion?

[IRIS] The total number killed
or wounded at Terminalia

is roughly 3,000.

The whereabouts of the leaders
behind the attack are unknown.

Repairs surrounding the capital
remain our priority.

All else will be investigated
among the factions.

Of course, Lord Aaron.
It will be so.

And furthermore,

regarding the boy,
Will Serfort...

He has been a student
at the academy.

Why were we unable
to ascertain his presence

these past six years?

[IRIS] Likely
Headmistress Caldron's work.

I believe she was concealing him
until he fully matured.

Logwell, I can manage, but...

the Caldron witch makes
too many decisions

without consultation.

From this point forward,

supervision of the sword
will be entrusted to Finn.

Will Serfort,
a boy who wields a sword...

What do you make of it?

[AARON] It cannot be helped.

If this is the wand and sword
of the Mage Queen's vow,

then all paths are guaranteed
to intersect one day.

Pardon my lateness,
good Lord Aaron.

These back-to-back meetings
are a bit much, gramps.

This another one
of your boring "evaluations?"

Be silent, barbarian.

Every word you speak
is torture to the ear.

We will share any intelligence
concerning the attackers.

Continue to investigate
the all-student praxis incident.

The capital, the dungeon,
the inside of the tower.

Leave no stone unturned.

And what of the
recovered mage slayers?

What did we learn from them?

Nothing.

Anything on those monsters?

What did the
Upper Institute find

rummaging through
those carcasses?

Nothing.

So what you have
to share is nothing?

You incompetent king!

Have you truly
not so much as an inkling?

[AARON]
This event called to mind

the great battle
of ten years ago.

This felt the same
as those destroyers

who once shook
the magical world

and nearly brought it
to its knees.

[all gasp]

The Day of Near Doom.

You suggest
there were survivors?

Now we're talking!

If any crawl back,
I say we give 'em a round two.

Is it possible you're mistaken?

Lefiya and my people strove
to wipe them out at great cost.

[scoffs] You scared
or something?

Your folks might've helped,

but you did squat
in that fight, if I recall.

You gonna go runnin' scared back
to your forest, little ladybug?

♪

[Iris grunts]

Yet another reason
why I do not like

getting involved
in these meetings.

I assume you have a death wish,
you wretched lout.

[ZEO] Not the best line
after you try to kill someone.

How about I use you as practice

and beat you
to a pulp first? [grunts]

[AARON] Enough of this.

Each faction will continue
the investigation,

pruning new buds as they grow.

The Bloom is nearly upon us.

Do not neglect
your preparations for that.

-[CARIOT] Now then, Sarissa.
-Yes?

[CARIOT] What are you
doing over there?

Greetings, everyone.

Why isn't that woman with you?

All of Magia Vander
was summoned,

without exception.

[SARISSA] Unfortunately,
due to her feeling ill,

she will not be attending today.

[bird cooing]

-[Kiki meows]
-Huh?

[LIHANNA] Colette.

-[Kiki meows]
-[COLETTE] Hi.

[LIHANNA] Who are those for?

They're flowers for Rosty.

Even if he doesn't have
a grave yet,

I figured this is
the least I can do.

[LIHANNA] What kind of person
was Rosty Nowman,

besides brave?

[COLETTE] We weren't that close,
so I can't say.

I didn't see much of him
on campus

since he was
an artificer studies major.

I do know he was
a transfer student

from the western capital
of Terralis, though.

He appeared out of nowhere
and just as suddenly

was glued to Will at the hip,
like he'd known him for ages.

Truth be told, I envied that.

[COLETTE]
Will couldn't believe it.

He actually made a real friend.

You should've seen his smile.

[MALE DWARF]
Hey! Put it down here!

[MALE MAGE]
Oh, sorry!

[FINN] That's Rigarden for you.

Nothing like a group of dwarves

to speed up repairs
in a ravaged city.

At this rate,

everything'll be good as new
in no time.

[IRIS] Invess.

Look who's still alive.

I'm pretty sure I said
to quit calling me that.

It's not really a name I like.

Makes it perfectly fitting,
then.

I mean, I hate you as much
as you hate that name.

You're always
good for a laugh, Iris.

So, why call out to stop someone
you'd much rather avoid?

I wanted to ask you to leave
Will alone for now.

Because if you step in,

the clock will advance
all at once.

He'll break.

Then there won't be
any stopping him.

What do you know?

I'm surprised such a sentiment
came from a watcher.

Got a thing for him, huh?

Of course not!

Well, Iris. I'm sorry to say,

I will be taking him.

[FINN] Caldron's had her fun,

but it's graduation day.

Playtime's over.

1 YEAR EARLIER

[ROSTY] Hey, Will,
hypothetically,

what if I wasn't
around anymore?

You think you'd be sad about it?

[gasps] What?
Where did this come from?

[ROSTY] After meeting you here

and making so many
precious memories,

I've started wondering.

If I'm forced to say goodbye,

causing grief
you didn't have before,

perhaps I should've
spared you that hurt

by never approaching you at all.

[WILL] No! Don't say that!

Regardless of what might happen
to us down the road,

I won't ever regret
meeting you! All right?

I'm glad we met
and that we're friends.

I'm glad, too.

But you'll ascend
to the tower eventually.

And there's a good chance
I won't get to stay with you.

You're saying
you won't have the points?

-Mm. Yeah, close enough.
-Huh?

[ROSTY] The day may come
when I make Will Serfort,

tower ascendant,
inconsolably sad.

But either way...

[Will gasps]

I'll always watch over you.

[birds chirping]

[Will exhales]

My hair's back.

Dark and short again.

But why'd that power change it?

-[Kiki meows]
-[WILL] Uh?

[Will gasps]

[Kiki grunts softly]

[Kiki meows]

If Rosty were here right now,

he'd have a theory
about my hair.

No doubt.

RIGARDEN MAGICAL ACADEMY
AUDITORIUM

[ELIZA]
Magical Doctrine Number One.

The great Mage Queen looked out
at her people and declared,

"You may laugh.
You may rejoice,

for whether they bloom or not,

when the buds
turn toward the sky,

flowers shall surely dwell
in the heavens."

[CALDRON] The horrific events
of the Terminalia tragedy

claimed many innocent souls.

Academy professors,

and no small number
of our students.

To those who risked
their lives that day,

we offer our deepest respect
and sympathies to you.

From the common man,

to the high mages
of the great tower.

But it's no time to
hang our heads and fall silent.

We cannot wallow in our grief.

With Mercedes Caulis
now under threat,

this tragedy was not a finale,

but a warning bell to signal
the beginning of a calamity.

It is the duty of this school

to propel the hope we've
nurtured here into the future.

So, let us commence

the Rigarden Magical Academy
graduation

and do just that.

Class 401, please rise.

Line up in front of the stage.

All graduates stand ready
to receive your diploma

when your name is called.

Agnes Fouques.

Ardens Rich.

Austin Lott.

Will Serfort.

Valerie Rice.

[WILL] Huh?

[EDWARD] Zara Albrand.

Zera Albrand.

Zoe Garniga.

I hereby certify
these 250 students,

having completed
the full curriculum,

as official graduates
of our academy.

[applause continues]

[CALDRON] And now, to conclude,

I will announce
those ascending to the tower.

Please come forward
as your names are read.

You'll be granted
a Hat of Mercedes.

And the right to finally
enter the tower's doors.

First, our valedictorian.

Lihanna Owenzaus.

TOTAL CREDITS: 12,000

[all applauding]

[CALDRON] Next, by rank.

TOTAL CREDITS: 9,655

Colette Loire.

TOTAL CREDITS: 9,024

Rose Prehnite.

Jorua Moraine.

Gordon Vally.

Lyril Marze.

All 49 of these students
earned the necessary credits

to advance to the tower
and begin their arduous climb.

[all applauding]

[WILL] I'm sorry, Elfie.

But there's a 50th student
who'll join them.

One who met
the ascension requirements

at the very last moment.

[indistinct chatter]

Our school has two ways
to qualify for advancement.

The first is to attain
at least 7,200 credits.

And the second way, of course,

is to make a spell
the world has never seen.

The spell in question

not only cleansed us all
of unbearable anguish

but also saved countless lives
and the very capital itself.

It is a splendid accomplishment.

A great feat worthy of praise.

And the name of that spell...

is "Courage!"

[Will gasps]

You may step forward now,
Will Serfort.

Headmistress!

I'm sure some people
will disapprove.

Nonetheless,
if you feel the same,

if you deem
his courage magical,

give him a round of applause!

[indistinct chatter]

[Will gasps]

[all gasp]

♪

[all cheering]

Ed, just let it go.

Absolutely not!

She would taunt him
with that dream

to shove him into
despair's cold grip!

It's not right.

He shouldn't have to suffer
the same fate that I did.

[WORKNER]
I think he'll overcome it.

Thanks to a very scary,
yet very kind teacher,

he's prepared for the worst.

[Edward grunts]

♪

You're a greedy one, Caldron.

Suppose I'll spur the sword on
in his daring chase

for new horizons.

[CALDRON]
Let everyone bear witness

that all 50 of these students
upon this stage

are hereby granted approval
to ascend Mercedes Caulis.

I dub you the Grim Generation,

for no doubt a turbulent future
lies ahead of you,

filled with trials
even more severe

than those you've faced.

But you will conquer them!

Find your place in the heavens

and drive off the evil
of this world!

[crowd cheering]

See that? You did it, Will.

[SARISSA]
The graduation ceremony

has concluded.

Now all the recruits
should arrive soon.

Lady Elfaria?

I've been waiting so long.

What would come to be called
the Age of Hope and Loss.
