01x05 - I Won't Let Anyone Interfere

[bunniefuu]

"Open forum by the Student Council and a volunteer coalition regarding the elimination of discrimination in the school"

--

Just as you pointed out, I won't deny that discrimination does exist at this school.

Despite efforts by the school, the Student Council and the Disciplinary Committee to ban them,

the terms so many students continue to use...

The open forum must've started by now, huh?

If it's bothering you, should we go?

No. I'm sure both sides have something to say,

but I don't want to see them arguing.

Honoka...

After all, we're―

What's going on?

What just happened?

Don't let them get away!

Honoka!

M-My legs!

Honoka, Shizuku! Are you all right?

Amy...

Look at this CAD I borrowed from the Hunting Club!

Who are these guys anyway?

W-We don't know.

It's okay. I was scared, too.

Huh?

My body just moved on its own because you were in danger.

Hey, I was scared, too!

I mean, they were armed,

and even if this can't k*ll anyone, I've never shot at anyone before.

Amy...

Shizuku...

Thanks!

I don't have time to feel down.

Next time, I have to...

Don't move!

Arrest all of the coalition members!

They're obviously working with an external force!

The expl*si*n was set off in the Practical Skills Wing.

Let's hurry over.

Right!

Miyuki! Tatsuya-san!

Everyone! What's this?

That's what we want to ask.

Who the heck are these people?

Miyuki, calm down.

But...

It's dangerous here for the three of you.

You should follow the Student Council's guidance and evacuate right away.

You didn't answer our question.

Who are these people? What exactly is happening here?

I'm pretty sure they're with the international anti-magic political organization, Blanche.

The coalition members are working with them, too.

As was the guy who assaulted me.

I knew what you three were up to.

Sorry I exposed you to danger.

Then, everything that's been happening...

They did this just to force their own agenda through?

It makes zero sense!

Trying to make their case this way isn't going to change anything!

This is just totally wrong!

It would've been conveyed just fine.

That precious something that can't be measured by grades or talent level.

We're all First High students here, after all!

So, why would they do this?

I'm sure that if President Saegusa heard what you just said, she'd be thrilled!

Huh?

You can leave the rest to us.

Miyuki...

You and I sure are lucky.

We have friends who aren't bound by values

and senpai we can respect.

Neither can be had just because you seek them.

Yes, I agree.

I'm truly glad I was able to enroll at this school!

You think Mibu-senpai and others like her didn't have what we have?

Surely, some of them do.

Both Mibu-senpai and the coalition members.

Like Honoka said, the important things get conveyed just fine.

If only they would realize that...

I hope they realize they're not being hurt by discrimination from outside.

No pushing!

Follow the Disciplinary Committee's guidance!

So, Morisaki's on the Disciplinary Committee?

Too bad he doesn't always act like that.

Not that I don't agree, but that's not happening.

Ah!

Tsukasa Kinoe!

He's making a run for it! Let's go after him!

Sure, but first things first.

Huh?

Tsukasa-sen~pai!

What, you're leaving already?

With all those shady-looking people?

My eyes!

This school...

No, this world is rotten to the core!

A world where people are ranked based on magic...

We the members of Blanche refuse to let it exist!

Ah! Wait!

Tsukasa-senpai, please stop resisting and come with us.

The Disciplinary Committee?

A student sent us a livestream of your actions via Light Refraction Magic.

We saw the whole thing including you trying to flee with your homeboys, the t*rrorists.

That video was a lifesaver! Thanks!

We did it!

We've apprehended every member of the coalition.

We've also repulsed the remnants of the t*rrorists who infiltrated the school grounds.

Just as we thought, the enemy was Blanche.

But why would they launch an as*ault of this scale?

This was all a diversion.

Their true objective is...

to steal the classified materials stored in the Magic University.

So, Mibu and Tsukasa and the others were being used?

Pretty low of them!

You weren't the ringleaders behind today's incident.

You were only being led on.

If we can destroy the ringleaders,

perhaps you and your cohorts' actions will be overlooked.

Wait, that doesn't mean...

...that you're going to take on Blanche, right?

That would be way too reckless.

We'd be going up against a political organization!

Shiba...

Do we have any chance of winning?

Yes.

Juumonji-kun!

This is no longer someone else's problem

because we're involved in this incident now.

If Miyuki's and my daily life is being threatened,

I'll destroy that threat with every fiber of my being.

That's the Blanche hideout, huh?

Now, Leo!

Panzer!

Panzer!

You low-life students!

Look at you, coming at us low-life students in droves and armed to the teeth...

How pathetic is that?

There you go again, throwing shade.

Don't be so blunt. You might hurt their feelings.

The leader of Blanche's Japanese branch, Tsukasa Hajime...

All of your schemes have been exposed.

Give it up now.

Decomposition? Th-This is magic, too?

Why? Why isn't my Evil Eye working?

Hypnosis like a bogus magic trick.

Did you really think that such a thing would work on Onii-sama?

I'd be willing to bet that's the trick you used to replace Mibu-senpai's memories.

So, just as we suspected...

Yes.

The intensity of her biases toward the Disciplinary Committee and the Course students...

This man, Tsukasa Hajime, was behind all that.

You vulgar rogue!

Onii-sama, please pursue him.

I'll take care of them.

All right.

You fools.

As if I would ever overlook any malevolence directed at Onii-sama.

Don't overdo it, okay?

This bunch isn't worth you getting your hands soiled over.

It is your battle that lies ahead, Onii-sama.

I won't let them touch you.

You monster!

I suppose you wouldn't understand how it feels...

to have been given such devastating power that you're feared as a monster.

I'm fond of my daily life here.

I have Onii-sama, Honoka, Erika, the others and such lovely friends as well as

senpai like the Student Council President whom I can look up to.

I love this ordinary daily life in which everyone can keep on smiling!

Onii-sama is fighting to protect that daily life. And...

what Onii-sama wants to protect... I, too, wish to protect! That's why...

anyone who tries to destroy all that will have to answer to me!

You people are certainly unlucky.

If only you hadn't raised your hands against Onii-sama,

you would've gotten off with just a bit of pain.

I-I'm frozen all―

Wh-What kind of magi―

I'd pray if I were you

to be spared at least your lives.

Are you worried about Tatsuya-kun?

Eh?

Don't worry, they'll be fine.

I'm not worried about Onii-sama.

It's something else.

What am I going to do?

All those people that I...

Onii-sama!

Are you all right?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Um, Onii-sama...

The thing is, I...

It's all right, Miyuki.

That's...

Onii-sama, don't tell me...

You have absolutely nothing to feel bad about.

Those were the people I froze with Niflheim.

Onii-sama must've used it... that magic.

The spell that goes back through the Eidos' history,

reverting one to the state before damage was sustained.

Regrowth.

But in exchange, the anguish suffered by the wounded ones

is all compressed and transferred to Onii-sama.

I'm so sorry.

Once again, Miyuki has caused Onii-sama...

Miyuki?

Are you okay?

Uh, yes!

Onii-sama...

Miyuki?

Would it be okay if we stayed like this for a bit?

It's fine. For as long as you need.

Please forgive me, Onii-sama, for behaving like a child again.

I have to become the one to protect you one day.

But...

until then, just for a little while...

Welcome home, Onii-sama!

Miyuki... What are you doing, dressing like that?

Well, because today is a special day!

Onii-sama, we'd like to wish you a happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I'm sorry to cause you so much worry.

Don't worry about it, and please don't be so eager to play detective from now on.

Okay!

Hey, look!

It makes me so happy

Don't you think these are good shots?

to get to see Onii-sama surrounded by all his friends.

Oh, you're right!

I'm so glad we overcame their objections...

and enrolled in First High School!

Oh hey! Have you heard about Saya?

Saya?

You know, Mibu-senpai...

Needless to say, she didn't get penalized for that incident,

but afterwards...

With Kirihara-senpai?

It looks like they both finally realized who it was they wanted to be nearest to.

Onii-sama, I'm going to follow you wherever you go, okay?

Huh?

Even if you were to race away at the speed of light...

or pierce the skies and climb all the way up to the stars,

Miyuki will never leave your side, Onii-sama.

I think it'd be more accurate to say I'm the one who's going to get left behind.

But right now, we need to keep our feet on the ground rather than climb up to the skies.

For the sake of this daily life I share with you.

I would do anything for you.

I have only one desire.

Miyuki, I want you to always be smiling.

All right!

Miyuki is so blessed... to be Onii-sama's sister!

If it's what you wish, Onii-sama...

then I'll go on smiling forever by your side

because this peaceful daily life is exactly what we envisioned for ourselves.

That's our Airi.

Éclair Airi... The fact that you're a member of the distinguished Isshiki Clan...

is no fluke.

F-First place! First year...

Tsukushiin Touko!

I win again!

You've got to be kidding!

She knows not just where the clay is, but the fragments, too?

Her awareness of space is off the charts! I don't believe that girl!

Kanou Shiori!

For me, taking part in the Nine Schools Competition is a given.

To stir up such a commotion...

Really, it's so shallow, it makes me sick.

It just means you're that talented.

All good!

There isn't a single student here at Third High who can beat Airi.

Probably not at any other magic high school, either.

As a member of the Isshiki Clan, that's a given.

Besides us, there are the boys... Ichijou, the Crimson Prince and Cardinal George.

I don't see any factors that would cause us to lose.

"National Magic University Affiliated Third High School"

Who's going to defeat First High and win this year's Nine Schools Competition? That'd be us. Third High!
