00:05I finally got the 10,000th. Elias will be so pleased.
00:18Elias, 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!
01:10No!
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.
01:37Don'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 him.
01:48Farewell, sister!
01:58Aliens, 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?
02:51He 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... I've never seen such a magnificent creature.
03:09And he seems to... like me more?
03:12Professor Talon, since their hearts are already entwined, 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?
03:39Professor 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.
03:55Then it's done.
03:57The Fire Dragon goes to Hilda. In three months, the Beastware trials will judge your progress with the utmost rigor.
04:04Hilda, how could you do that? The Fire Dragon was meant for Elaine! Right! How can you steal from your
04:09own sister?
04:11I didn't! He chose me first!
04:17Brilliant! With that Fire Dragon, she'll be our new premier by morning!
04:20Hmph! The newest initiate, and yet she scoops the finest prize in the hall.
04:25A treacherous beast was never a good choice.
04:28In my past life, Alias was just as arrogant.
04:32He refused to forge the bond with me.
04:37To feed his growth, I risked death on every hunt.
04:42Hunting man-eaters.
04:44Just to secure the beast essence.
04:49He never once spared a glass for my wounds.
04:53He only had eyes for what he needed.
05:04When I was away, Hilda would come to him.
05:07I knew.
05:08I 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.
05:31No!
05:37Elaine?
05:39Elaine?
05:41Professor?
05:47A familiar shares its master's magic.
05:49You and Alias.
05:51You 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.
05:59I shall speak with Hilda again and have Elidus return to-
06:02Professor.
06:03I seek no mighty instrument of power, but a true companion.
06:10He is not so bad, after all.
06:14Fine.
06:16But remember, the beastward trials is in three months.
06:19Academy's judgment is absolute.
06:21Any beast that falls short of the standard will be stripped from its master.
06:40Oh, Elaine.
06:41If you truly wanted Elias, why didn't you just ask?
06:44What?
06:45No.
06:46Weren't you begging him?
06:47Hoping the Professor hand Elias back to you?
06:49Ridiculous.
06:53My dearest sister.
06:55I'd love to return him, but-
06:59He refuses to leave with you.
07:02Drop the act, Hilda.
07:03I have no interest in your precious mount.
07:06Save that energy for the trials.
07:08Speaking of the trials,
07:09I have to apologize in advance.
07:12When Alias makes me the new premiere,
07:14where will that leave you?
07:22This time, let me see how Hilda gets this bloodsucker to take human form without me.
07:27Only if you can afford him.
07:33Of course I can!
07:35But can your little worm even survive three months?
08:00So you would defend your master, Alalius?
08:02You just detest me?
08:04Elaine! The Fire Dragon is Academy's most precious beast in a decade!
08:07You will be punished if you hurt him!
08:09So my serpent deserves to die?
08:11It's just a lowly half-breed.
08:12There are hundreds like it in the Beast Pavilion.
08:15No wonder last time, he died at your hands in just a year.
08:22Hilda!
08:24Where is your familiar?
08:25It was too frail!
08:27It couldn't survive!
08:28I tried everything I could to save him!
08:31What did you try?
08:32What potions?
08:33What healing spells?
08:35You're an apprentice of Beast Word Academy,
08:37and you don't even know basic of beast care?
08:40How dare you question her!
08:44You're a murderer!
08:52Alasius,
08:53you never answered my summons,
08:54yet here you are for Hilda.
08:56Have 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.
09:11I order you to stay, Hilda.
09:14As you wish, Elaine.
09:15For your incompetence and the death of your familiar,
09:18I sentence you to the Outer Valley to clear out the trolls.
09:21No!
09:22I can't, can't do that. Please, please.
09:25Do not panic, Hilda. I will come with you.
09:27My flames will be your shield.
09:28I gathered essence all on my own.
09:30A thousand times, all for you.
09:32And you never came. Not once.
09:38As long as he chooses me and stands by my side,
09:41I will treat him right in return.
09:43A fallen Premier and a mutt from the gutter.
09:45Perfect match.
09:46I hope you can last five minutes in the trials.
09:48Keep yourself and your mountain check, Hilda.
09:50Next time, it won't be just a splash of water.
10:02Welcome home, little one.
10:04Deep wounds, feigning manor.
10:07And yet you're still holding on?
10:09You're a stubborn little thing, aren't you?
10:12These feathers, just like raven wings.
10:15Curious.
10:16What kind of hybrid are you?
10:26Making yourself at home, are you?
10:28Aren't you afraid I'll poison you and find a better familiar?
10:37Tiny tail with a giant temper.
10:39Rest easy.
10:40If I could afford a leech like Alias,
10:42I can certainly take care of you.
10:59An adept mage?
11:00At least level seven?
11:02Maybe eight?
11:03Right beside me.
11:04And I never sensed him.
11:07Who are you?
11:11Behave yourself!
11:12This is the Beastwit Academy!
11:16You...
11:17You have two!
11:19Male serpent.
11:21We all have two down there.
11:24Serpent.
11:26You're the feathered serpent?
11:31Don't you dare stand up!
11:33Oh, that's rude.
11:35I have a name.
11:37Nyxen.
11:40You're the little serpent from yesterday?
11:43Impossible!
11:43You were dying!
11:44How can you take human form?
11:45That was just a disguise for my enemies.
11:47I was wounded,
11:48and your professor happened to drag me into that...
11:51ceremony.
11:52Enemies?
11:53Are they still after you?
11:56I just got rid of Alias!
11:58I won't trade one nightmare for another!
12:17Ten years of devotion won me nothing from Alalius.
12:20Yet Nyxen...
12:22He laid the bond upon my heart on our very first day.
12:27The bond is sealed.
12:28I'm your servant now, Master.
12:32Keep up with me, Master.
12:34I'd hate to leave you behind.
12:36Oh my god!
12:42Let me go to death.
12:44Ah!
12:48Ah!
12:51Ah!

17:34she is the one who shall regret it
17:36good morning may the elements empower the beastwood academy
17:43let the trials begin
17:49participation is mandatory for every bonded apprentice
17:52this will determine your familiar's rank
17:55the academy resources
17:56and the title of premier apprentice
18:02familiars differ in innate ability
18:06what determines a passing grade is your bond
18:09the pillar reflects the shared manner and bond
18:13between master and beast
18:17now step onto the platform
18:19and prove the worth of your past three months
18:46D for a distinct male
19:01C for a close miss
19:04C for a close miss
19:17B a pass but below expectations
19:35A 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 big in three months
20:19no suspense left
20:21Hilda is going to be the new premier
20:24how can you say that
20:25elaine hasn't even shown up yet
20:27just stating facts
20:28how could elaine's mudsnake compare to a fire dragon
20:31it's not over yet
20:33mom
20:34oh
20:46Let's go.
21:05By the elements, it's an S for a supreme beast.
21:11The strongest familiar in a decade.
21:14She is way, way stronger than her sister now.
21:16It's the fire dragon, nothing to do with her.
21:19Elaine could have had the dragon.
21:20She has only herself to blame.
21:22You're all taking Hildy's side now?
21:23Have you forgotten who actually helped?
21:24Last favors don't win battles.
21:26Powerless 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.
21:41She's probably too ashamed to come at all.
21:43Elaine never runs away.
21:45There must be a reason.
21:46She realized the gap between us.
21:48That's the reason.
21:55Elaine is stronger than them all.
21:58He possesses the power to protect and to lead.
22:05Once I am premier, Alias' full power will be unleashed.
22:10The whole kingdom of Byrne will respect Beast World Academy.
22:28Elaine is here.
22:32But where is her snake?
22:40Nyxen, come forth.
23:04He hasn't grown an inch.
23:07Can they even make the pillar flicker?
23:09Elaine is finished.
23:15Elaine, you knew you'd be a joke.
23:18Three months and you're still holding that worm.
23:23It's pathetic.
23:25Elaine, what is this?
23:26Have you been training him at all?
23:28I have.
23:29Trust me, Professor.
23:30Professor, this is pointless.
23:32Declare their failure now.
23:33It'll save everyone's time.
23:35Elaine, perhaps he'll be a bit bigger by next year.
23:38Every bonded apprentice must attend.
23:40Rules are rules, Professor.
23:42Dear sister, I know it's hard to accept.
23:44But don't worry.
23:45Alias and I will protect you.
23:46No need.
23:50You're under the delusion that you're the strongest one here.
23:54Let me correct it.
24:15You're under the delusion that you're the strongest one here.
24:26That worm, it can take human form?
24:30Unbelievable.
24:31It takes a premiere at least ten years to guide a familiar towards a human.
24:35You've performed a miracle, Elaine.
24:37It's impossible.
24:39Alarius is the strongest.
24:53Don't hurt them.
24:59No.
25:01You must have cheated.
25:03Elaine, the Pillar will never acknowledge you.
25:26The Pillar is no longer able to contain the scale of your bond, nor the mana you share.
25:32Nyxen is the strongest femilation in the history of this academy.
25:38He is beyond measure.
25:44I made the right choice in choosing Nyxen.
25:54That's not him.
25:55That's not the same creature from the bonding ceremony.
25:58It is him.
25:59Always has been.
26:00Don't forget, you were the one who said we were a perfect match.
26:03He was dying.
26:05No, Elaine.
26:06It was you.
26:07You knew he was powerful all along.
26:10You stole him on purpose!
26:13Stop fooling yourself.
26:15Nyxen was mortally wounded.
26:17Even if you had taken him, with the meagre mana you have, you could never keep him alive.
26:23I belong only to you.
26:26I said if, Nyxen.
26:29I...
26:29I just didn't expect him to take human form!
26:32You kept this secret!
26:34Just for humiliating me in front of everyone!
26:37I am not like you, Hilda.
26:39I wouldn't covet what isn't mine.
26:44This is only the first of many defeats.
26:47Get used to it.
26:51Trying to speak?
26:53But you don't even have a human voice yet.
27:04Trials 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.
27:16After all, you are both exceptional.
27:18What?
27:19That's not fair!
27:20Elaine and Nyxen are miles ahead of them!
27:22Professor, perhaps you'll reconsider, once you know what Hilda has been hiding from you.
27:34Elaine, explain yourself.
27:36She's talking nonsense!
27:38I'm not hiding anything!
27:40Professor, check Hilda's mana level, please.
27:49Level 2?
27:51No progress in 3 months!
27:53If she's level 2, then where did all that Mina come from?
27:57Was the pillar broken?
28:00Help me raise Alias, Elaine.
28:03I really can't do this without you.
28:06I refuse to let her leech off of me this time.
28:09So who else was left to bleed?
28:11Professor, Alias' growth is strange.
28:14Perhaps the resource logs might tell us why.
28:20Hilda, in 3 months you have claimed 14 extra essence rations as a premier candidate.
28:26That is triple the allowed limit.
28:28I did it for the Academy!
28:30Alias is so strong, I just wanted him to reach his full potential faster!
28:34And yet you remain at level 2.
28:36Not a single drop of that essence was used on yourself.
28:39But Elaine has reached level 7!
28:44Hilda, you are disqualified from the trials.
28:48The excess resources will be deducted from your future allowance.
28:51The position of Premier Apprentice remains with Elaine Tideswap.
29:04Elaine, you stay.
29:15I'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.
29:24Dark forces are seeping into the wilds.
29:27Tainted beasts lose their sanity, turning into man-eaters.
29:30A nine-tailed Vorkhraf has been spotted here.
29:33We must bring it back before it's fully corrupted.
29:36Professor Willa will come with you.
29:37This is why I urged you to choose the Fire Drakon.
29:40We need powerful Beastmasters for what's coming.
29:43I have reasons, Professor.
29:45And I hope you'll be careful with him as well.
29:47Why?
29:52I don't have substantial proof yet.
29:54Then you should guide Hilda.
29:56The infiltration is accelerating and we...
29:58Professor.
29:59The nine-tailed Vulpil owns the priority now.
30:02I will bring it back.
30:03Your parents died in a similar riot back then.
30:05I've always felt it all happen too sudden and unnatural.
30:12The infiltration is accelerating.
30:14It all happened too sudden and unnatural.
30:22I never understood what Alias had done.
30:24We had no bond.
30:25He could have simply killed me and taken Hilga.
30:28Why destroy the entire academy?
30:30It wasn't freedom he wanted.
30:32What is he really after?
30:54Elaine, don't you think Professor Talon is being far too stringy?
30:58I fell for this nine-tailed spirit fox the second I laid eyes on it, yet he refused to hold
31:02it for me.
31:03Now I have to come all this way myself.
31:06This nine-tailed spirit fox bears an exceptionally rare bloodline.
31:09It's lethally dangerous in the wild and must be strictly contained.
31:12Do this as a favor to the academy if you would.
31:17My, my Elaine.
31:18Your little slither is quite clingy, isn't he?
31:31Nyxen.
31:32What are you doing here?
31:34Hilda came to me today.
31:37I sent her away.
31:41Scent of a fox.
31:42We just secured premier's seat and you're already planning to find a familiar.
31:45It was a mission from...
31:47It's fine.
31:49Once I eat the fox, your bond is still only mine.
32:18You hit me for that fur ball?
32:20Professor Talon entrusted this Vulpry to me.
32:23If you lay a finger on it, I will never forgive you.
32:33Elaine, what brings you here?
32:35Where is Hilda?
32:39She took Alias to the valley.
32:41For training, I guess.
32:42She's been acting weird since the trials.
32:45The valley.
32:45It's strictly off limits.
32:47What is she doing there?
32:53I told you.
32:54That's the guy that's away from me.
32:56I'm not going anywhere.
33:00Don't stare at me like that.
33:02The trial was not my fault.
33:07Hunt for essence?
33:09Go outside?
33:10Are you insane?
33:11I'm a level two.
33:12I'd be eaten alive.
33:13Are you trying to kill me?
33:17Human form?
33:18With what?
33:19We have no quata left.
33:20I can't pull essence out of thin air.
33:21If you're looking for someone to blame, blame Elaine.
33:24Her serpent is already speaking with a human voice.
33:26And you, all you do is scribble with your claws.
33:28I'm sick of-
33:29In my past life, he wouldn't give me a single look.
33:32Now, look at him.
33:34Writing for Hilda stroke by stroke.
33:37It was a long way to find you, Hilda.
33:42Elaine?
33:43You-
33:44Why are you here?
