00:05I finally got the 10,000th. Elias will be so pleased.
00:19Elias, the 10,000th level 8 essence. Today's the day you take human form.
00:27You have no idea how dangerous it was.
00:38We can form the bond now, can't we?
00:41Thank you, sister.
00:45Hilda.
00:47Thanks to 10 years of your devotion, we couldn't have bonded without you.
00:58Supreme essence.
01:01How dare you keep this from me all along.
01:04No! The academy's shield relies on it!
01:11No!
01:22Everyone, quickly take cover!
01:27Why would you do this?
01:28Why? Because you are stupid. And tedious.
01:31Oh, dear sister. Premiere in the academy, and still, no one wants you.
01:38Don't waste your time on her. Even looking at her makes me sick. Compared to you, she's nothing.
01:42Pathetic! See? Elias has always chosen me, no matter how much you did for her.
01:48Farewell, sister!
01:59Aliens. Hilda. I curse you both. If I get another chance, I will not let this happen.
02:14Everyone is still here. Good. That's good. That's good.
02:19As tradition dictates, I now proclaim the decennial bonding ceremony of Beast Word Academy underway.
02:29I have returned. To the day it all started.
02:34Fire Dragon. He boasts a pure bloodline unseen in a decade.
02:40Elaine Tidesong. As our premier apprentice, you are the only one fit to master him.
02:47Though he is not easily tame.
02:50The Fire Dragon just refused her?
02:52He is of noble blood, proud beyond measure. But there's no one better than Elaine.
02:55Hilda! Step away, it's dangerous!
03:03Professor, I know I'm nothing compared to my sister. It's just...
03:07I've never seen such a magnificent creature. And he seems to... like me more?
03:12Professor Talon, since their hearts are already inclined, let them have each other.
03:16What? She's a mere initiate!
03:17I will not bond with the Fire Dragon. In fact, my choice lies...
03:24Feathered Serpent!
03:25A lowly half-breed?
03:27A lowly half-breed?
03:39Professor Talon, since the Fire Dragon refused to serve as my mount, I shall take this little serpent.
03:45Elaine, you're the premier! Only the Fire Dragon is worthy of you!
03:49Such lowly beast isn't even worthy of being the Fire Dragon's lackey!
03:53Professor, my decision stands.
03:56Then it's done. The Fire Dragon goes to Hilda. In three months, the Beastware trials will judge your progress with
04:03the utmost rigor.
04:04Hilda, how could you do that? The Fire Dragon was meant for Elaine! Right! How can you steal from your
04:10own sister?
04:11I didn't. He chose me first.
04:17Brilliant. With that Fire Dragon, she'll be our new premier by morning.
04:21Hmph. The newest initiate, and yet she scoops the finest prize in the Hall.
04:24A treacherous Beast was never a good choice.
04:28In my past life, Alias was just as arrogant. He refused to forge the bond with me.
04:37To feed his growth, I risked death on every hunt. Hunting man-eaters. Just to secure the Beast essence.
04:50He never once spared a glass for my wounds. He only had eyes for what he needed.
05:04When I was away, Hilda would come to him. I knew. I told myself she was just trying to help.
05:11But I never expected them to be this cruel.
05:19In this life, I won't let them betray me. Not again.
05:24In this life, I won't let them betray me. Not again.
05:31No!
05:37Elaine?
05:39Elaine?
05:41Professor?
05:47A familiar shares its master's magic. You and... Alias. You would have made an unstoppable pairing.
05:53But as you saw, Professor, he has no desire to bond with me.
05:57A Beast's will can be guided. I shall speak with Hilda again and have Elidus return to-
06:02Professor. I seek no mighty instrument of power, but a true companion.
06:10He is not so bad, after all.
06:14Fine. But remember, the Beastward Trials is in three months. Academy's judgement is absolute.
06:21Any beast that falls short of the standard will be stripped from its master.
06:40Oh, Elaine. If you truly wanted Elias, why didn't you just ask?
06:44What? No. Weren't you begging him? Hoping the Professor hand Elias back to you?
06:50Ridiculous.
06:53My dearest sister. I'd love to return him, but...
06:59He refuses to leave with you. Drop the act, Hilda. I have no interest in your precious mount. Save that
07:06energy for the Trials.
07:08Speaking of the Trials. I have to apologise in advance. When Elelius makes me the new premiere, where will that
07:15leave you?
07:22This time, let me see how Hilda gets this bloodsucker to take human form without me. Only if you can
07:28afford him.
07:32Of course I can. But can your little worm even survive three months?
07:39No!
07:43No!
07:45No!
07:47No!
07:49No!
07:51No!
07:53No!
07:54No!
07:56No!
08:00So you would defend your master, Elelius? You just detest me?
08:04Elaine! The Fire Dragon is Academy's most precious beast in a decade! You will be punished if you hurt him!
08:09So my serpent deserves to die? It's just a lowly half-breed. There are hundreds like it in the Beast
08:14Pavilion.
08:15No wonder last time, he died at your hands in just a year.
08:23Hilda! Where is your familiar?
08:25It was too frail! It couldn't survive! I tried everything I could to save him!
08:31What did you try? What potions? What healing spells? I... I... You're an apprentice of Beast Word Academy. And you
08:38don't even know basic of beast care?
08:39How dare you question her!
08:48How dare you question her!
08:52Alasius! You never answer my summons, yet here you are for Hilda! Have you forgotten who your master is?
08:58I share no bond with you!
09:01You!
09:02It's my fault!
09:04It's her I refuse to acknowledge.
09:07Halt!
09:08At the Premier, I speak for the Dean himself! I order you to stay, Hilda!
09:14As you wish, Elaine.
09:15For your incompetence and the death of your familiar, I sentence you to the Outer Valley to clear out the
09:20trolls.
09:20No! I can't! I can't do that! Please! Please!
09:25Do not panic, Hilda. I will come with you. My flames will be your shield.
09:28I gathered essence all on my own! A thousand times! All for you! And you never came! Not once!
09:38As long as he chooses me and stands by my side, I will treat him right in return.
09:43A fallen Premier and a mutt from the gutter. Perfect match. I hope you can last five minutes in the
09:48trials.
09:48Keep yourself and your mountain check, Hilda. Next time, it won't be just a splash of water.
10:02Welcome home, little one. Deep wounds, feigning manor. And yet you're still holding on? You're a stubborn little thing, aren't
10:10you?
10:12These feathers, just like raven wings. Curious. What kind of hybrid are you?
10:26Making yourself at home, are you? Aren't you afraid I'll poison you and find a better familiar?
10:37Tiny tail with a giant temper. Rest easy. If I could afford a leech like Alias, I can certainly take
10:43care of you.
10:59An adept mage? At least level seven? Maybe eight? Right beside me. And I never sensed him.
11:06Who are you?
11:11Behave yourself! This is the Beastwit Academy!
11:16You... you have two!
11:19Male serpent. We all have two down there.
11:24Serpent. You're the Feathered Serpent?
11:31Don't you dare stand up!
11:33Oh, that's rude. I have a name.
11:37Nyxen.
11:40You... you're the little serpent from yesterday? Impossible! You were dying! How can you take human form?
11:45That was just a disguise for my enemies. I was wounded, and your professor happened to drag me into that...
11:51ceremony.
11:52Enemies? Are they still after you?
11:56I just got rid of Alias! I won't trade one nightmare for another!
12:17Ten years of devotion won me nothing for Malalius, yet Nyxen. He laid the bond upon my heart on our
12:24very first day.
12:27The bond is sealed. I'm your servant now, Master.
12:32Keep up with me, Master. I'd hate to leave you behind.
12:36Ha...
12:39Ha...
12:39Ha...
12:44Jaa...
12:47Aaaa...
12:48Aaaa...
12:48...
13:04Unw!
13:07You master water, I wield wind.
13:10They are naturally bound.
13:12Now, follow my rhythm.
13:14Try to channel the water elements.
13:17Focus.
13:30I feel...
13:31Much stronger?
13:34Precisely.
13:34That's the bond working. My strength is yours.
13:37Give it three months, you'll stand far above your peers.
13:40We must beat that wicked fire drag in the Beastwood Trials.
13:43Then work harder.
13:45You can admire me after we win.
13:47Admire? Don't flatter yourself!
13:59Unleash your full strike.
14:12This is...
14:14The power of a level seven major.
14:27This is all the Academy's quota. I gave it all to you. What am I supposed to use?
14:39It's coming from Elaine's cottage.
14:43She got unwanted mixed blood feathered speppin. How could she be this strong?
14:54Everyone knows mages share mana with their fulfillers.
14:57With that half-dead hybrid worm, there's no way Elaine could manage that.
15:01Elaine is gifted and hard-working. It's not impossible.
15:03Right. And your dragon is still... the same size?
15:17Stand down.
15:19Strong enough to crush you at the Trials.
15:25I need to find out if that was really Elaine.
15:43Hide!
15:44Don't let anyone see you can shift form. Go!
15:47Hmm.
15:51I'm here to apologize.
15:53I shouldn't have let Alias ruin our sisterhood.
15:56Sisterhood?
15:57It was nothing but a lie that cost me my past life.
16:01Save it, Hilda.
16:02Elaine, do you really have to be like this?
16:04Before Alerius, you always got the best of everything.
16:06Stop the fake lines, Hilda.
16:07What do you actually want?
16:09I was just wondering, how's your training?
16:11I saw massive waves on the lake. Was that you?
16:13No, of course not. Only a level 7 maze could perform something like that.
16:18Rot with your overgrown lizard.
16:28See? It's still weak. Leave us alone.
16:33Actually, I need a favor.
16:36Help me raise Alaelius, Elaine.
16:38I really can't do this without you.
16:41Excuse me?
16:46The Beastwood Academy exists to forge powerful familiars.
16:49As the premier, it is your duty to help Alacius.
16:54Stop pretending you care.
16:56You just realized you can't feed his hunger, didn't you?
16:58Dear sister, your tiny worm will never take human form.
17:03Why throw your gifts away on a filthy creature of the mud?
17:06You should be supporting Arius.
17:09Don't dare me.
17:11Leave.
17:12Now.
17:21Then rot with your mixed breeds, scum!
17:24In three months, you will regret everything about today!
17:32Trust me, she is the one who shall regret it.
17:36Good morning!
17:38May the elements empower the Beastwood Academy.
17:41Let the Trials begin!
18:04Let the Trials begin!
18:11The one who has shared manner and bond between Master and Beast.
18:16Now, step onto the platform, and prove the worth of your past three months.
18:46D for a distinct male.
19:01C for a close miss, B a pass but below expectations.
19:34A for Alessa and her ally.
19:38Well done.
19:47Have you seen Elaine?
19:49She's in seclusion.
19:50Maybe she's just scared.
19:52Don't be absurd.
19:54Look.
20:06How did he get this pig in three months?
20:19No suspense left.
20:21Hilda is going to be the new premier.
20:24How can you say that?
20:26Elaine hasn't even shown up yet.
20:27Just stating facts.
20:29How could Elaine's mudsnake compare to a fire dragon?
20:31It's not over yet.
20:33What?
20:58It's not over yet.
21:05By the elements, it's an S for a supreme beast.
21:11The strongest familiar in a decade.
21:13She is way, way stronger than her sister now.
21:16It's the fire dragon, nothing to do with her.
21:18Elaine could have had the dragon.
21:20She has only herself to blame.
21:21You're all taking Hildy's side now?
21:23Have you forgotten who actually helped?
21:24Last favors don't win battles.
21:25Powerless means useless.
21:29Professor Talon, is there anyone left to take the trial?
21:33Only Elaine and her familiar.
21:35We will wait.
21:37My sister is too proud to bear losing her position as Premier.
21:40She's probably too ashamed to come at all.
21:43Elaine never runs away.
21:44There must be a reason.
21:46She realized the gap between us.
21:48That's the reason.
21:55Aleylius is stronger than them all.
21:58He possesses the power to protect and to lead.
22:05Once I am Premier,
22:08Aleylius' full power will be unleashed.
22:10The whole kingdom of Byrne will respect peace to an academy.
22:28Aleylius' full power will be unleashed.
22:29Elaine is here.
22:31But...
22:32Where is her snake?
22:40Nyxen, come forth.
23:15Elaine, you knew you'd be a joke. Three months and you're still holding that worm. It's pathetic.
23:25Elaine, what is this? Have you been training him at all?
23:28I have. Trust me, Professor. Professor, this is pointless. Declare their failure now.
23:32It'll save everyone's time. Elaine, perhaps he'll be a bit bigger by next year.
23:38Every bonded apprentice must attend. Rules are rules. Dear sister, I know it's hard to accept.
23:44But don't worry. Alias and I will protect you. No need.
23:50You're under the delusion that you're the strongest one here. Let me correct that.
24:26That worm... it can take human form?
24:29Unbelievable! It takes a premiere at least 10 years to guide a familiar towards a human.
24:34You've performed a miracle, Alayna.
24:38Impossible! Alarius is the strongest!
24:53Don't hurt them!
24:59No! You must have cheated!
25:03Alayna, the pillar will never acknowledge you!
25:25The pillar is no longer able to contain the scale of your bond, nor the mana you share.
25:31Nyxen is the strongest femulation in the history of this academy. He is beyond measure!
25:44I made the right choice in choosing Nyxen.
25:53That's not him! That's not the same creature from the bonding ceremony!
25:57It is him. Always has been. Don't forget, you were the one who said we were a perfect match.
26:03He was dying!
26:05No, Alayna, it was you! You knew he was powerful all along!
26:10You stole him on purpose!
26:12Stop fooling yourself.
26:14Nyxen was mortally wounded.
26:17Even if you had taken him, with the meagre mana you have, you could never keep him alive.
26:22I belong only to you.
26:26I said if, Nyxen.
26:28I... I just didn't expect him to take human form!
26:32You kept this secret! Just for humiliating me in front of everyone!
26:37I am not like you, Hilda. I wouldn't covet what isn't mine.
26:44This is only the first of many defeats. Get used to it.
26:50Trying to speak?
26:53But you don't even have a human voice yet.
27:03Trials are competitive by nature.
27:07But not at the expense of your bond as sisters.
27:12Perhaps this is a chance to rebuild your sisterhood.
27:15After all, you are both exceptional.
27:18What? That's not fair!
27:20Alayna and Nyxen are miles ahead of them!
27:22Professor, perhaps you'll reconsider.
27:25Once you know what Hilda has been hiding from you.
27:33Alayna, explain yourself.
27:36She's talking nonsense!
27:38I'm not hiding anything!
27:40Professor, check Hilda's mana level, please.
27:49Level two?
27:50No progress in three months!
27:53If she's level two, then where did all that Mina come from?
27:56Was the pillar broken?
28:00Help me raise Alayna, Alayna.
28:03I really can't do this without you.
28:05I refuse to let her leech off of me this time.
28:08So who else was left to bleed?
28:11Professor, Alayna's growth is strange.
28:13Perhaps the resource logs might tell us why.
28:20Hilda, in three months you have claimed 14 extra essence rations as a premier candidate.
28:25That is triple the allowed limit.
28:27I did it for the academy!
28:30Alaylius is so strong, I just wanted him to reach his full potential faster!
28:33And yet you remain at level two.
28:36Not a single drop of that essence was used on yourself.
28:39But Alayna has reached...
28:41Level seven!
28:44Hilda, you are disqualified from the trials.
28:47The excess resources will be deducted from your future allowance.
28:51The position of Premier Apprentice remains with Alayne Tideswan.
29:04Alayne, you stay.
29:14I'm pleased with the trial results today.
29:17But that's not the reason I asked you here.
29:21Disturbances are increasing at the borders.
29:23Dark forces are seeping into the wilds.
29:26Tainted beasts lose their sanity, turning into man-eaters.
29:30A nine-tailed Vorkref has been spotted here.
29:33We must bring it back before it's fully corrupted.
29:35Professor Willow will come with you.
29:37This is why I urged you to choose the Fire Drakon.
29:39We need powerful Beastmasters for what's coming.
29:42I have reasons, Professor.
29:44And I hope you'll be careful with him as well.
29:47Why?
29:51I don't have substantial proof yet.
29:53Then you should guide Hilda.
29:55The infiltration is accelerating and we...
29:57Professor.
29:59The nine-tailed Volpel owns the priority now.
30:01I will bring it back.
30:02Your parents died in a similar riot back then.
30:04I've always felt it all happened too sudden and unnatural.
30:21I never understood what Alias had done.
30:24We had no bond.
30:25He could have simply killed me and taken Hilda.
30:27Why destroy the entire Academy?
30:29It wasn't freedom he wanted.
30:31What is he really after?
30:33And there was a friend in an radioactive dad.
30:39A T- haul for yourself and has him with this one.
30:39I have no idea...
30:51And this is a strange war my hand.
30:53One-dimensional creature.
30:56Nothing is destroying me and will get killed.
30:58I've never
31:03have to come all this way myself. This nine-tailed spirit fox bears an
31:07exceptionally rare bloodline. It's lethally dangerous in the wild and must
31:10be strictly contained. Do this as a favor to the Academy if you would.
31:16My, my Elaine. Your little slither is quite clingy, isn't he?
31:31Nyxen, what are you doing here? Hilda came to me today. I sent her away.
31:40Scent of a fox. We just secured Premier's seat and you're already planning to find a
31:44familiar. It was a mission from- It's fine. Once I eat the fox, your
31:50bond is still only mine.
32:17You hit me for that fur ball?! Professor Talon entrusted this
32:21Valkyrie to me. If you lay a finger on it, I will never forgive you.
32:32Elaine, what brings you here? Where is Hilda?
32:38She took Alias to the Valley. For training, I guess. She's been acting weird since the
32:43trials. The Valley. It's strictly off-limits. What is she doing there?
32:52I told you! That guy's away from me! I'm not going anywhere!
33:00Don't stare at me like that! The trial was not my fault!
33:07Hunt for Essence? Go outside?! Are you insane?! I'm a level two, I'd be eaten alive! Are you trying to
33:13kill me?!
33:17Human form? With what? We have no quata left. I can't pull Essence out of thin air.
33:20If you're looking for someone to blame, blame Elaine! Her serpent is already speaking, with a human voice.
33:26And you, all you do is scribble with your claws. I'm sick of-
33:28In my past life, he wouldn't give me a single look. Now, look at him, writing for Hilda stroke by
33:34stroke.
33:37It was a long way to find you, Hilda.
33:42Elaine? Why are you here?
