01x06 - Between Pride and Passion

[bunniefuu]

What just happened?

Did he just hit me?

The forest...

Get lost, Julius.

You're in my way.

Was he aiming at Julius?

No, he cast it at both Julius and Will.

What were you thinking, Sion?!

I've been bearing myself and doing
everything you asked, Colette.

But now, I'm claiming my payment.

Fight me, Flunkee.

What is he talking about?

Here and now? Us?

But why?

You think I need a good reason to beat
an annoying freak like you?!

What is going on?

Stop it, Sion!

Julius?

You're kidding me.
How did he survive that?

Freeze.

Colette!

Sion, stop it!

This is not the time for us
to be fighting!

Hurry up and take the sword,
Flunkee.

Are you afraid of opening
your eyes again?

Do you hate being like
a stranger to yourself?

Even if you realize you have no talent

Does that become a pretext
to keep running away?

To respond to the screams
echoing within

Who is there to answer them?

At least, in the few moments
of your life

I want you to be an honest actor

What if today is that day?

Are you afraid of opening
your eyes again?

Do you hate being like
a stranger to yourself?

But you've realized, haven't you?
Your body can't stop moving

"If I think of you, who I can't bear to lose,
my fears seem trivial."

Even if I expose my life and sing

In time, you will understand

Will it end here?

You wouldn't want that, would you?

[Episode 6: Between Pride and Passion]

Right from the start,
I found him to be miserable.

He was so miserable and an eyesore.

And that's why, I tried to get him
not to be an eyesore.

Sion?

I'll allow you to become
my subordinate.

Then you won't have to
be miserable anymore.

Hey!

Don't ignore me!

Move.

But he...

He never considered us to
be an eyesore.

From that day on, I...

I started to hate him.

Lansear!

Entwine, thorns of flame!

O flames, obey me!
Ignis Rooks!

Are all you can do is just hop around
and run away like an animal?!

Attack me!

I can't!

Fight me!

We're a team now.

In order to fulfill my promise
to Donnan and others,

this is no time to be fighting
with you.

Don't screw with me!

If you don't want to fight me,

then I will burn you
right here and right now!

Do we have to fight after all?

Oh no! What's going on over there?

Squad 6 was on track,

but now Will and Sion
are fighting each other!

They have a falling out!

What do you think of this?

Please give us your comments,
Professor Edward!

Whatever their reasons,

fighting among teammates is outrageous.

Given the content
of the Crown Attack itself,

the scouts would reduce their points.

How utterly hopeless.

Well, uh...

He sure sounds pretty pleased
about this!

Sion Ulster.

Even though he's been doing well
up until this point...

In the end, he's just a student.

His credits ranked fourth in the Academy,
but he has another problem.

What are you doing, Sion?

I've never seen a team
falling out before.

Yeah, I'm worried too.

I wonder what will happen next.

Can I sit here?

Are you Iris?

Yes.

It's me, Iris, a junior who
gets along with everyone.

It's been a while, Senior Rosty.

So, can I sit next to you?
I've been standing for a while now.

Sure.

Thank you very much.

Senior Will! Do your best!

I didn't expect to see Iris cheering
for one student.

I thought you were
a bit of a meek one.

Actually, I was introduced to him
by a certain someone.

At first, I had no intention of
knowing him.

And now, I found myself
captivated by him.

I see.

Will is really popular, huh?
Even with Sion who is fighting him.

Including you, right?

Naturally.

Since I love Will more than
anything else.

Your love is so heavy.

We're roommates after all.

That's right.

I think it's the same with Colette.

I have to stop them quickly...

But Julius is here.

What's wrong, Colette?

If you keep running, your title as
the Earth Princess will be ruined.

Don't call me by that name!

I'll beat you to the pulp if
you call me with that name again!

You're so persistent!

He's setting off the traps?

There is something weird there.

You're right. Just how?

How come there are so many Julius?

Huh? Julius?

Why are you here?

Hey, Julius.

Did you come to me to fulfill
your w*r declaration?

That's right.

I did say that and I'll use
my trump card to beat you.

I see.

But first, I will return
this flower to you.

Thank you so much, Sir Wignall.

What is going on exactly?

How's Julius able to come here?

Not bad, Julius.

I didn't expect you to have something
like this up your sleeve.

This is Magia Vander's...

I don't know what exactly
happened there!

But Squad 12 crushed Julius who
has appeared so suddenly!

As expected of a talent of an elf,
Sir Wignall!

Do your best!
I bet all my money on you!

How would you rate the fellow brethren
who are still at the academy?

As good as if not better
than expected.

That's harsh.

More importantly, Lefiya...

I'd rather go home now.

This festive atmosphere is hard
for an introvert like me.

I want to die.

You can't.

This is the festival of Rhizanth,
the paradise dweller.

Now, how should I report this
to Lady Ellenor?

I think the winner will
be Julius or Wignall.

Squad 6 would have a chance if only
Sion hadn't done something like that.

I understand we don't want
the no-talent wins.

I mean, this is just unheard of,
isn't it?

What's wrong with Sion?

I know he hates that flunkee.

But he'd go that far during
the Grand Magic Festival.

What drove him to get
so angry like that?

I think I understand
his feelings right now.

Huh?

Trying to get someone you hate kicked out
of the Academy might be unreasonable.

But I think Sion is trying to...

Why is Sion doing this to me?

Why are you bothering me?

Why are you bullying me?

I never do anything to all of you.

I know that I'm a flunkee.

I know that more than anyone else.

I never asked for recognition.

I never trying to be selfish.

That's why...

Just leave me alone.

Move.

I don't have enough time.

I don't have any leeway
to look elsewhere.

I have to go to where Elfie is.

Burn! Howl! Rage! Soar!

The sky is thine to command!

O firebird, I name thee guardian!

Halcon Gardinas!

A fire-hawk?

It's a guardian!

Go!

The guardian is coming at me!

If I can cut its wings...

Now, I need to attack Sion!

High-speed regeneration?

I have to crush its core to stop it!

Get him, Halcon!

Guardians usually serve as a shield to buy
time for the caster to cast their spells.

But he's using it to attack and defend
from different directions.

What a skill.

That's not the level of a student.

Not only a high-level fire spell such as
Iflamme Burdelyon, but also a guardian.

I didn't think he could control magic
that precisely on his own.

Any information on that student?

Yes.

Sion Ulster.

The son of the Ulster House,
which is renowned for its fire magic.

The watcher's report says he's gifted.

But not as good as
Lihanna Owenzaus or the top three.

That means something triggered him
to surpass the wall.

This is why students are,
you never know them.

When you thought he was
still a chick inside a shell,

turned out he's already a hawk.

The Grand Magic Festival
is really helpful.

Report this to Lord Cariot.

We have had an unexpected harvest.

Sion...

He got stronger.

Is that all you can do, Flunkee?

You can do better than this, just like
when you beat the Evil Sentinel!

Sion, I don't understand.
Why do we have to fight?

I have no reason to fight you!

Are you serious?

After all the times I humiliated you?
After all the times I put you into misery?

You mean that after all of that,
you still don't resent me?!

Of course I do!

I'm really angry at you!

I don't even know how many times
I've imagined paying you back!

But I have to beat Julius right now!

- That's why now isn't the time to-
- Julius?

Don't screw with me!

Even though you've always
been an eyesore to me!

Even though you're just a no-talent,
and yet you just refuse to give up!

Do you know how annoying
that is to me?!

Why are you always looking at
someone else instead of me?!

Don't ignore me!

Look at me, damn it!

Sion...

Is that how you see me?

I don't care about your problem!

If you give me any more of that nonsense,
I'll crush you here right now!

I never asked for recognition.

I never trying to be selfish.

But the truth is, somewhere in my heart,
I want someone to recognize me.

That's why...

If Sion is saying he recognizes me,

then I have to face him with my all.

You're finally looking at me, Flunkee.

O stones of the skies!

O dying wish of Adollas!

Don thee, the storm!
Sing thee, of calamity!

In the name of the dragonslayer,
rain down from up above!

His guardian will eat me up
if I try to rush onto him.

I need to aim for a counterattack
at the moment he casts his spell.

Fly, Halcon!

Dragos Nowl!

A wide-ranged annihilation spell
and a charging guardian?

It's a simultaneous attack!

However...

I already saw their trajectory!

He didn't protect himself against
my annihilation spell.

So he could slice through
the guardian's core?

It's not over yet!

Stop this right now!

Wha-

It hurts.

Colette?

Where's Julius?

I beat him to a pulp.
But then he disappeared.

Disappeared?

Colette, you cannot dress like that!

You're an unmarried noblelady,
you know?!

Don't go showing off your skin
so indecently like that!

Indecent, you say?

It's because you two started
fighting in the first place!

Will, you go ahead.

You want to settle things
with Julius, right?

I'll take care of things here.

Don't screw with me, Colette!

I won't let anyone get in the way,
not even you-

You're the one who
got in the way first!

This was supposed to be Will's chance
to show the Tower what he could do!

Thanks, Colette.

Hey, wait!

Sorry, Sion.
Let's have a proper fight next time.

Hey!

Don't screw with me!

Fight me!

They've made it past all the obstacles
and now they'll reach the stadium!

And the first squad to arrive is...

Squad 9, led by Julius Reinberg!

There's nothing to stop them!

All they have to do is to pick the crown
and claim the glory-

Huh?

Isn't that...

Will!

It's on, Julius.

Peering through the telescope

I gaze at you

The everyday life I see there
is completely upside down

I can't keep my feet on the ground

My heart is in the clouds

Feelings with no destination
will only lead to pain

Ah, it's so cruel

The spell "what if" has no effect

But everything would be fine
if it were with me

I can't help but think of that

I used to be able to say,
"I love you. Do you love me? I love you!"

It was like half-eaten frozen,
crunchy memories

[We're stuck in Love]

Not enough, not enough, not enough

There's not enough of you

[We're stuck in Love]

I want to touch you, I want to touch you
It's so cold

Before love freezes over

Warm it up, please

Next up, Episode 7 of
Wistoria: Wand and Sword,

"El Glace Frosse."
