May 23, 380 (H.E.C.)

Isn't that the 4:30 bell?

You're right. Is it that late already?

Ronie and Tiese are late.

They've never been late to cleaning before, have they?

I have a bad feeling about this.

I'm going to go check the trainees' dorm.

They might be on their way here, so you stay and wait for them.

Hey, Kirito, you should use the front...

Jeez, he's always in such a rush.

Thank goodness! We were so—

Um... are you Elite Disciple Eugeo?

Yes. And you are?

I-I'm Primary Trainee Frenica Cesky.

I-I apologize for coming to see you unannounced.

But I just don't know what to do!

You're... Frenica?

Um, I know you've gone out of your way to intervene in my issue with Humbert Zizek-dono.

I'm eternally grateful for that.

But tonight, Zizek-dono has made a rather... I mean...

He's ordered me to perform a service that's difficult for me to say out loud.

I-If he continues to give me these kinds of orders, I-I'd rather leave the academy!

I said as much to Tiese and Ronie.

When I finished telling them, they said they'd go plead with him to spare me, and left the dorm.

I've been waiting, but they still haven't returned.

What?

You wait here.

So that was their goal all along?

Not to target me, but Tiese and Ronie!

Please come in.

We've just uncorked a fifty-year-old bottle from the western empire. Fancy a glass?

It's not something a commoner would ever get to taste.

I'll pass, thank you.

Elite Disciple Zizek-dono,

I wanted to ask if my page, Primary Trainee Tiese Schtrinen,

and Disciple Kirito's page, Primary Trainee Ronie Arabel, happened to visit your room.

So those two were yours and Kirito-dono's pages?

How brave of those two trainees

to demand an audience with the first- and second-seat Academy swordsmen out of the blue like that!

It figures they'd be your pages.

But they ought to be more careful.

Enthusiasm can sometimes be taken as rudeness or disrespect.

Wouldn't you agree, Disciple Eugeo?

I will hear your valued opinion another time.

Where are Tiese and Ronie right now?

What have you—

Wh...

What do you think you're doing, Raios-dono?

This was an unfortunate but necessary measure, Eugeo-dono.

Primary Trainees Schtrinen and Arabel disrespected us to an outrageous degree.

Disrespected how?

These two lesser noble girls had the gall to accuse me, a fourth-rank nobleman,

of needlessly abusing my own page and satisfying my own lust, of all things.

And after all I've done as the second-seat elite disciple to guide Frenica down the proper path!

That's not all, Eugeo-dono.

They made the absurd claim that as Humbert's roommate, I was just as accountable.

This daughter of a mere sixth-rank noble had the nerve to ask me, the heir to a third-rank noblity,

"Have you no pride as a noble?"

Can you imagine?

Still, Raios-dono, even if everything happened the way you described,

tying them up and locking them in your bedroom

is surely a flagrant deviation from your right to punish a trainee!

My right to punish a trainee?

Have you forgotten what the academy rules say?

"When it comes to punishment, higher law takes precedence!"

Higher law, as in the Taboo Index and the Basic Imperial Law.

In other words, as a third-rank noble's eldest son, what I can use on those sixth-rank noble girls

isn't my right as a disciple to punish, but rather my right as a noble...

...to mete out justice!

Play nice, now. I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget.

Stop it!

Don't move, peasant!

This is a lawful judgment by a noble pursuant to the Basic Imperial Law and the Taboo Index.

To obstruct such a judgment is to commit a violation of those laws.

Take even one step closer, and you will have broken the law!

That's...

My legs!

No! No!

Senpai! Senpai!

After all, there are things you shouldn't do, even if it's not forbidden by law.

And by the same token,

there might be things that must be done, even if they are forbidden by law.

N-No! No!

No! Help us! Help us, Eugeo-senpai!

Eugeo-senpai!

The law permitted such a cruel sentence to be passed on Tiese and Ronie,

who bravely tried to protect their friend...

The law prevents anyone from stopping Raios and Humbert from entrapping and disgracing these girls like this...

Eugeo-senpai! Help me!

If upholding such a law is the "right" thing to do...

I...

I...

What's... happening?

This is... the same as that last time.

I won't allow it. I absolutely...

will not allow it!

Stop!

No! Senpai!

A-Arm... My arm is... blood!

So much blood! My life is dropping!

Raios-dono, use the sacred arts!

No, a normal spell won't heal this in time!

Your life! Please share some of your life!

Magnificent! I've never seen anyone flout the Taboos so blatantly!

Generally, the nobles' judicial authority only applies to lesser nobles and residents of our holdings.

But exceptions can be made for heinous criminals who've broken a Taboo!

It's my first time severing someone's head from their shoulders.

This will make me even more powerful!

Disciple Eugeo...

No, Eugeo the Criminal!

I, Raios Antinous, a third-rank nobleman's heir, in accordance with the nobles' judicial authority,

sentence you to death!

Kirito.

Put away your sword, Raios!

I won't let you hurt Eugeo!

So you finally showed up, Disciple Kirito?

However, you've arrived a little too late!

That country bumpkin there is a heinous criminal who violated the Taboo Index!

You'd better just stand back and watch.

Watch me chop the offender's head clean off,

just like I did those pretty little flowers of yours!

You think I give a shit about your taboos and noble rights?

Eugeo's my dearest friend.

You, on the other hand, are scum lower than the goblins from the land of darkness!

Two country bumpkins, both united in their treasonous crimes.

This means I can get rid of you both at the same time.

What a fortuitous day, indeed! Surely this is the guidance of Stacia!

It's fine.

My secret technique will demolish that piece of junk!

Come on then, Raios!

How's that? How's that?!

As if I, Raios Antinous, could fall to a mere commoner like you!

Kirito...

My arms!

My arms!

Blood... the blood won't stop!

Humbert!

Bleeding... Stop my bleeding!

Untie your rope and bind my arms instead!

No!

U-Untying it will make my life drop!

That order is a violation of the Taboo Index!

Taboo? But...

My blood is... Humbert!

You... Taboo...

But... My life will...

Taboo... Life... Blood! Taboo!

Life... Blood... Taboo... Life... Taboo... Life... Taboo...

Life...

Use this to stop the bleeding.

Life... Taboo... Life... Taboo...

What was that?

Did something happen to his Fluctlight?

Raios-dono!

He's... He's... You... You...

Murderer! Monster!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Eugeo-senpai!

It's... It's all my fault!

No, it's not. You're not to blame.

I... It's because I didn't think it through.

You're not responsible.

B-But...

But...

It's all right. After all, you and Ronie are safe.

I'm the one who should apologize.

Sorry. For subjecting you to such a horror.

I've seen this before.

Somewhere, long ago, I witnessed this.

Don't let Tiese and Ronie hear this!

Singular unit detected.

Tracing ID.

Coordinates fixed.

Report complete.

Murderer! Monster!

It's true. I'm no...

I'm no better than those goblins.

You're a human, Eugeo. Just like me.

You make mistakes, you try to find the meaning in them, and you keep struggling.

You're a human.

Kirito...

Come out.

Come closer.

System Call. Generate Luminous Element.

Reconstruct Lost Organ.

Try to open your eye.

All right.

Thank you very much, Azurica-sensei!

Think nothing of it.

Disciple Eugeo and Disciple Kirito, I need to hand you over to your escort.

But before that, allow me to say this.

Disciple Eugeo.

You've broken a seal I was never able to break.

Therefore, you should be able to go where I was never able to go.

Believe in your sword—and in your friend.

Disciple Kirito.

I was never able to figure out who you really are.

But I'm sure that when you reach that tower, something is bound to happen.

I'll be here, praying that you'll find the light.

For as long as it takes.

I've seen this combination of blue and gold before somewhere.

I am the overseer of the capital city of Centoria, an Integrity Knight of the Axiom Church.

Alice Synthesis Thirty.
