01x21 - Shizu-san's Students

[bunniefuu]

Well then, let's take attendance!

Kenya Misaki!

Ryouta Sekiguchi!

Gale Gibson!

Alice Rondo!

Chloe Aubert!

All right, listen up!

When your name is called,

you should reply with
an energetic and loud voice!

I see.

I understand now.

Well then,

I would like to call my friend over.

Kenya Misaki!

Yes!

Ryouta Sekiguchi!

Yes!

Gale Gibson!

Yes!

Alice Rondo!

Yes!

Chloe Aubert!

Yes.

Okay! Good work, everyone!

Hey, scaring us with a big dog
is cowardly!

My name is Ranga.

Nice to meet you, kid!

I got it already!

Seems like you guys are
getting along well already.

That's a good thing!

Well then,

I am Rimuru,
your teacher starting from today.

I'm not kind like Shizu,

so I'll be making everyone work hard.

What? Where's my reply?

-Yes!
-Yes!

Seems like it'll be hard to
make them trust me.

Well, it can't be helped.

They were summoned here
and thrown away on a whim, after all.

All right then, everyone.

Shall we have a test now?

Hey, why do we have to do that?

I hate tests.

This is too sudden,
I ask that you explain your reason.

That's right! Explain yourself!

Hey, come on, relax!

The test that you're going to take

is something necessary for all of you.

We're just going to die
sooner or later, right?

There's no point in studying.

He's right.

All the teachers we've had until now
said we can play as much as we want.

I haven't studied
ever since I came to this world.

I want to read more picture books.

In any case, who do you think you are?

It's great to know that
you guys are energetic.

Don't worry.

I said it's a test,

but it's just a fun game!

Game?

It'll let you guys, no...

It'll let you vent your frustrations.

From now, you will engage in a
one-on-one mock battle against me.

You have ten minutes.

You guys win if
you can defeat me in the stated time.

How's that? Easy, right?

-That's all?
-Yes.

-Ten minutes?
-Yes.

As long as you don't set off that dog,

we won't even take ten minutes!

That I will promise you.

Ranga, don't butt in, okay?

Understood!

I'll be the one to win!

I just wanted to read more picture books.

Well then,

Ryouta, please be the referee.

So, who's going to go first?

I'll be first!

Kenya Misaki will be the first, I see.

Can we use all these?

Use whichever you like.

However, you'll have to
address me respectfully if I win!

I've never lost to anyone

other than Teacher Shizu!

Talk big after you win against me.

Well then,

I wonder if I'd be able to
deplete even a little,

the mass amount of magicules inside them
that will destroy them someday?

Ready, go!

You...

That's the spirit! Go!

Don't lose!

Don't dodge my hits!

Some good moves there,
but you have a long way to go!

Somehow, the flames seem weak.

For the amount of magicules
he has in his body,

it is quite inefficient.

Ignore your flames,

and try to hit me with your raw energy!

Shut up!

What Teacher Shizu taught me was awesome!

Time is up!

Okay, that's it.

You better call me Teacher from now on.

Damn it.

Next! Who's up?

You better remember that!

Chloe Aubert.

Chloe, don't push yourself!

Be careful, Chloe!

It feels like I've seen her
somewhere before.

It feels somewhat nostalgic.

Ready, go!

Is she going to hit me with
the corner of the book?

I hope not.

Oh, water that flows,

please entrap my enemy.

Water Jail!

So this girl can use magic?

This is awesome. Maybe she's a prodigy?

I can make it rain down
blades of water on you.

I'll cancel the magic
if you admit your loss.

If you don't, you'll die.

How frightening for a young child!

Come on, what's wrong?
Admit your defeat now!

Nice going, Chloe!

You did it!

As I expected!

This magic is certainly amazing.

However, this doesn't work on me.

Magic like this

can be easily avoided with
my extra skill, Water Manipulation!

You have great mastery over this skill.

Study harder from now on.

She cried.

But forgive me.

I have to show that
I'm way more powerful than you.

Don't blame me if you die!

A magic b*llet?
It contains immense Magicules.

However!

All right, that was delicious!

What's was that? That's dirty!

You must achieve victory no matter
what kinds of dirty tricks you use!

That is what being an adult is all about.

Ryouta Sekiguchi.

He seems a little timid.

Should I say he's the
exact opposite of Kenya?

Ryouta! Avenge me!

Body enhancement magic?

No, seems like Berserker.

Impressive magic.

If his opponent wasn't me,
he would have put up a really good fight.

However, it's a big no-no to
lose your composure in a battle!

It is finally my turn!

You disappointing lot,

take a good look at what the
almighty Alice Rondo is capable of!

Go!

Everyone, finish him off!

Puppetry?

Is she a Golem Master?

If she's already this strong using toys,

she'll be a force to reckon with

if she can control soldiers
made with special alloy.

She may possess the strongest ability
out of all five of them.

This is quite irritating.

Should I just burn them all?

Warning.

The chance of
the individual Alice Rondo crying is %.

Maybe I'll give up on that.

Time is up!

It doesn't seem like

the energy inside these kids
was depleted at all.

What's left is...

Perhaps using Degeneration to
perform Separation...

Answer.

It is impossible to separate energy that
is already fused with the target's soul.

I see.

We don't have much time left,

but there's no other way but to
search for alternatives.

All right, attention!

As you guys have seen, I am strong!

And I will promise you this.

I will save all of you.

Save us?

Yes.

I swear it on this mask.

That is Teacher Shizu's...

You're right.

When I received this from Shizu,

I also assumed the responsibility of
taking care of all of you.

I get it.

I will trust you!

Then, me too.

Me too.

I trusted you from the very beginning.

You guys, what the...

Well, guess I will too.

You're right.

I, too, believe that
it's all right to trust you.

All right!

What?

If I recall, Shizu came to this world
around the same age as these kids.

She said she was made to possess Ifrit
by the Demon Lord Leon.

Maybe it's possible that...

Excuse me...

Listen up,

I will definitely save all of you.

I've inherited you guys from Shizu,

so I will not abandon any of you.

-We'll be in your care, Teacher!
-We'll be in your care, Teacher!

Teacher?

It sounds good!

You guys are my students!

Using Warp Portal that
I learned from Vesta,

I visited Treyni.

Just like Shizu,

if I can make high-ranking spirits
possess the kids,

it should control the energy
inside their bodies. Probably.

Lord Rimuru, is something the matter?

Hey, Treyni.

I'd like you to tell me the location of
high-ranking spirits.

That is...

They should be present at
where the Fairy Queen resides,

a place known as the
Dwelling of the Spirit.

Does that mean that

I can meet high-ranking spirits
if I go there?

Yes.

However...

In all honesty,

there are a few entrances to the dwelling,

but the one that I know of
has been sealed.

The Fairy Queen that we served

has passed on for a long time.

I have no connections to the
current Fairy Queen,

and I do not know her current location...

I see.

I am sorry that I could not be of help.

No, it's fine.

Don't worry!

Just leave things to me.

A month has passed
since I've been a teacher.

During my time as a teacher,

I've been searching for
the location of the high-ranking spirits,

but I haven't been able to
find out anything.

We're having a picnic today.

It's important to have a break, after all.

Well then.

Before we have lunch,

I'd like to conduct some combat training.

I have a reward for those who work hard!

That's...

The newest issue!

I want to read the
continuation of the series right now!

The previous chapter
ended on a cliffhanger!

I'm going to get my hands on it
earlier than the rest of you!

I like manga, too.

Well...

I'm not too familiar with
Japanese manga and anime,

but that piques my interest even more!

Well then, who will be the first?

Here! Me!

-It'll be me!
-I will be...

I will!

Me too!

Please, me first!

-Me, please!
-Me, please!

Damn it, so today is a failure, too.

Teacher is so powerful, you're cheating!

Hey!

It's a given to go easy on girls, right?

I have to learn more magic.

Is this an impossible feat after all?

You youngsters,

it is impossible to defeat me.

But well, everyone did their best,

so I'll make an exception...

Teacher?

What's this pressure?

Warning.

High density energy has been detected.

This reaction belongs to the Sky Dragon.

Sky Dragon?

What?

Is that a stray dragon?

It's headed towards the capital!

Oh, well. Guess I'll go help them.

If we let that run amok,

we'll probably have a lot of casualties.

Ranga!

Stay here and protect the kids.

My Lord.

Shall I go and give it a bite instead?

No, I'll go this time.

I have to look good in front of the kids.

I see...

Teacher!

We know that you're strong,

but there's no way
you can win against a dragon!

He's right!

If you die,

who's going to save us then?

I'm not dumb enough to
go after an opponent I can't win against.

Leave it to me.

-Teacher!
-Teacher!

Take care of this for me, will you?

-No fair, Chloe!
-Let me touch it.

He flew?

Amazing.

My identity will be exposed
if I go like this.

This should do!

Aim!

Fire!

Is this the end for me?

Unbelievable!

He repelled the Sky Dragon's
lightning att*ck!

Don't tell me is that the Hero?

This is nothing compared to Charybdis!

-A dinner invitation?
-Yes.

A major merchant known as Myormiles

hopes that you will
visit him in his restaurant.

He said that it's all right to
bring along the children, too.

Why would he contact me?

He said that he was saved by
a mysterious warrior during the day.

The one who defeated the Sky Dragon

was Rimuru, right?

Oh, well, I wonder?

So, that...

Myormiles.

Whatever his name is,
is he a trustworthy person?

He has an official merchant license
issued by the Free Guild in Blumund.

Well, it seems like
he works as a loan shark in the dark,

but we did a thorough investigation
on him,

so it is all right to trust him.

-Wow!
-Amazing!

Delicious!

This is splendid!

What is this? It's so tasty!

How do you like it?

It was pretty good.

Certainly!

We had the wine procured from
a special route, after all!

Please, drink more! Refill his glass!

Is that fine?

You're even treating my students.

Oh, that's nothing!

You are my life savior, after all!

What are you talking about?

This Myormiles has connections
all across the land.

Your shape and appearance may change,

but I am well aware that it was you.

Divine punishment awaits if I do not
repay my life savior on equal terms!

And with this, we're even now,

would that be fine?

I see.

It seems like I can trust this man,
as a merchant.

By the way, Myormiles.

With your connections,

you must have known about
my real identity, right?

If that's the case,

would you like to visit my city?

Your city?

We are planning to sell several products,

but we lack the knowledge.

If we have your assistance...

We will both profit...

I mean, we will both
help each other, right?

You got it!

It's a deal, then.

Well then,

I have certainly received
your invitation to visit your city.

Please come visit us again.

I'll give you a discount if you're here!

Not free?

I pray

that the divine protection of
the Fairy Queen blesses these children.

Is that magic?

You see,

it's a phrase we say in my hometown
when we pray for someone.

It means that the Fairy Queen in
the Dwelling of the Spirit

will bestow her blessings upon you.

Wait, miss!

Did you just mention the
Dwelling of the Spirit?

Do you perhaps know of its location?

Well, I do.

I was born in one of
its surrounding villages after all...

I paid the lady a large sum of money,
and she told us the location in exchange.

It is located in

the most northern area of
the frontier nation Ulgrasia Republic,

known as the Ulg Nature Park.

This is where
the Dwelling of the Spirit is.

Shizu,

I will definitely save these kids!
