Short filmTranscript
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? Thank you, sister.
00:45Hilda. Thanks to 10 years of your devotion, we couldn't have bonded without you.
00:58Supreme Essence. How dare you keep this from me all along.
01:04No! The Academy's shield relies on it!
01:22Everyone, quickly take cover!
01:27Why would you do this?
01:28Why? Because you are stupid. And tedious.
01:31Oh, dear sister. Premier in the Academy. And still, no one wants you.
01:37Don't waste your time on her. Even looking at her makes me sick.
01:41Compared to you, she's nothing.
01:42Pathetic. See? Elias has always chosen me, no matter how much you did for him.
01:47Farewell, sister.
01:58Aliens. Hilda. I curse you both.
02:01If 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...
03:06I've never seen such a magnificent creature. And 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.
03:46Elaine, 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.
04:00In 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!
04:08Right! How can you steal from your own 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, hunting man-eaters, just 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.
05:22Not again.
05:31No!
05:37Elaine?
05:39Elaine.
05:41Professor?
05:43Hm?
05:47A familiar shares its master's magic, you and Alias.
05:51You would have made an unstoppable pairing.
05:54But as you saw, Professor, he has no desire to bond with me.
05:57A beast's will can be guided.
06:00I shall speak with Hilda again and have Alidas 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, if you truly wanted Alias, why didn't you just ask?
06:44What?
06:45No.
06:46No.
06:46Weren't you begging him?
06:47Hoping the Professor hand Alias back to you?
06:50Ridiculous.
06:53My dearest sister, I'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, I have to apologize in advance.
07:12When Alias makes me the new premiere, where 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!
07:34But can your little worm even survive three months?
08:00So you would defend your master, Alias?
08:02You just detest me.
08:04Elaine, the Fire Dragon is Academy's most precious beast in a decade.
08:08You will be punished if you hurt him.
08:09So my serpent deserves to die?
08:11It's just a lowly half-breed.
08:13There are hundreds like it in the Beast Pavilion.
08:15No wonder last time, he died at your hands in just a year.
08:23Hilda, where is your familiar?
08:26It was too frail.
08:27It couldn't survive.
08:29I tried everything I could to save him.
08:31What did you try?
08:32What potions, what healing spells?
08:34I, I...
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?
08:52Alasius, you never answered my summons, yet 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.
09:14Hilda, as you wish, Elaine.
09:15For your incompetence and the death of your familiar, I sentence you to the Outer Valley
09:20to clear out the trolls.
09:21No!
09:22I can't, can't do that.
09:24Please, please.
09:25Do not panic, Hilda.
09:26I will come with you.
09:27My flames will be your shield.
09:28I gathered essence all on my own.
09:30A thousand times.
09:32All for you.
09:33And you never came.
09:34Not 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.
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.
10:03Welcome home, little one.
10:05Deep 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.
10:16Curious.
10:17What 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.
10:40Rest easy.
10:41If I could afford a leech like Alias, I can certainly take care of you.
10:59An adept mage, at least level seven, maybe eight.
11:03Right beside me, and I never sensed him.
11:07Who are you?
11:09Who are you?
11:11Behave yourself.
11:12This is the Beastwit Academy.
11:16You have two.
11:20Male serpent.
11:21We all have two down there.
11:24Serpent.
11:26You're the feathered serpent?
11:32Don'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!
11:44You were dying!
11:44How can you take human form?
11:46That was just a disguise for my enemies.
11:48I was wounded, and your professor happened to drag me into that... ceremony.
11:52Enemies?
11:53Are they still after you?
11:56I just got rid of Alias!
11:58I won't trade one nightmare for another!
12:01No!
12:17Ten years of devotion won me nothing from Alias, yet Nyxen, he laid the bond upon my heart
12:24on our very first day.
12:27The bond is sealed.
12:28I'm your servant now, Master.
12:33Keep up with me, Master.
12:34I'd hate to leave you behind.
12:36I'm your servant.
13:07You master water, I wield wind.
13:10They are naturally bound.
13:12Now, follow my rhythm.
13:15Try to channel the water elements.
13:17Focus.
13:30I feel...
13:31Much stronger?
13:34Precisely.
13:35That's the bond working.
13:36My strength is yours.
13:38Give it three months, you'll stand far above your peers.
13:41We must beat that wicked fire drag in the Beastwood Trials.
13:44Then work harder.
13:45You can admire me after we win.
13:47Admire?
13:48Don't flatter yourself.
13:59Unleash your full strike.
14:13This is...
14:14The power of a level seven mage.
14:27This is all the Academy's quota.
14:29I gave it all to you.
14:31What am I supposed to use?
14:33What am I supposed to use?
14:40It's coming from Elaine's cottage.
14:44She got unwanted mixed blood-feathered Spopen.
14:46How could she be this strong?
14:54Everyone knows mages share mana with their perfiliers.
14:57With that half-dead hybrid worm, there's no way Elaine could manage that.
15:01Elaine is gifted and hard-working.
15:03It's not impossible.
15:04Right.
15:04And your dragon is still...
15:06The same size?
15:17Stand down.
15:20Strong enough to crush you at the Trials.
15:25I need to find out if that was really Elaine.
15:44Don't let anyone see you can shift form.
15:46Go.
15:49Elaine.
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 Alirius, you always got the best of everything.
16:07Stop the fake lines, Hilda.
16:08What do you actually want?
16:09I was just wondering, how's your training?
16:11I saw massive waves on the lake.
16:12Was that you?
16:13No, of course not.
16:15Only a level 7 maze could perform something like that.
16:18Rot with your overgrown lizard.
16:28See?
16:29It's still weak.
16:31Leave us alone.
16:33Actually, I need a favor.
16:36Help me raise Alilius, Elaine.
16:38I really can't do this without you.
16:41Excuse me?
16:46The Beastwood Academy exists to forge powerful familiars.
16:50As the premier, it is your duty to help Alilius.
16:54Stop pretending you care.
16:56You just realized you can't feed his hunger, didn't you?
16:59Dear sister, your tiny worm will never take human form.
17:03Why throw your gifts away on a filthy creature of the mud?
17:07You should be supporting Arius.
17:09Don't dare me.
17:12Leave.
17:12Now.
17:21Then rot with your mixed breeds, scum.
17:24In three months, you will regret everything about today.
17:33Trust me, she is the one who shall regret it.
17:37Good morning.
17:38May the elements empower the Beastwood Academy.
17:43Let the trials begin.
17:49Participation is mandatory for every bonded apprentice.
17:53This will determine your familiar's rank, the academy resources, and the title of premier apprentice.
18:02Familiars differ in innate ability.
18:06What determines a passing grade is your bond.
18:10The pillar reflects the shared manner and bond between master and beast.
18:17Now, step onto the platform and prove the worth of your past three months.
18:46D for a distinct male.
19:02C for a close miss.
19:18B. A pass, but below expectations.
19:22B. A pass, but below expectations.
19:35B. A for Alessa and her ally.
19:39Well done.
19:47Have you seen Elaine?
19:49She's in seclusion.
19:51Maybe she's just scared.
19:52Don't be absurd.
19:54Look.
20:06How did you get this big in three months?
20:20No suspense left.
20:22Hilda is going to be the new premier.
20:24How can you say that?
20:26Elaine hasn't even shown up yet.
20:28Just stating facts.
20:29How could Elaine's mud snake compare to a fire dragon?
20:32It's not over yet.
20:34It's not over yet.
20:37How many
20:39How could Elaine has been pushed?
21:05By the elements, it's an S for a supreme beast.
21:12The strongest familiar in a decade.
21:14She is way, way stronger than her sister now.
21:17It's the fire dragon, nothing to do with her.
21:19Elaine could have had the dragon.
21:21She 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?
21:32Only 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.
21:49That's the reason.
21:56Aleylius 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.
22:11The whole kingdom of Byrne will respect these to an academy!
22:29Aleylius' full power will be unleashed.
22:29Elaine is here.
22:32But, where is their snake?
22:40Nyxen, come forth.
23:05He hasn't grown an inch.
23:07Can they even make the pillar flicker?
23:10Elaine is finished.
23:16Elaine, you knew you'd be a joke.
23:19Three 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. Trust me, Professor.
23:30Professor, this is pointless.
23:31Declare their failure now. It'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, but don't worry.
23:45Alias and I will protect you.
23:47No need.
23:51You're under the delusion that you're the strongest one here.
23:54Let me correct you.
24:26That... that worm... it can take human form?
24:30Unbelievable. It takes a premier at least ten years to guide a familiar towards a human.
24:35You've performed a miracle, Elaine.
24:38Impossible!
24:40Alias is the strongest!
24:42No!
24:54Don't hurt them!
24:59No!
25:01You must have cheated!
25:04Elaine...
25:05The pillar will never acknowledge you!
25:26The Pillar is no longer able to contain the scale of your bond, nor the manna you share.
25:33Nyxen is the strongest femulation in the history of this academy. He is beyond measure.
25:45I made the right choice in choosing Nyxen.
25:54That's not him! That's not the same creature from the bonding ceremony!
25:58It is him. Always has been. Don't forget you were the one who said we were a perfect match.
26:03He was dying. No, Elaine, it was you! You knew he was powerful all along! You stole him on purpose!
26:13Stop fooling yourself. Nyxen was mortally wounded. Even if you had taken him, with the meagre mana you have, you
26:21could never keep him alive.
26:23I belong only to you.
26:27I said if, Nyxen.
26:29I... I just didn't expect him to take human form! You kept this secret just for humiliating me in front
26:36of everyone!
26:38I 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.
26:51Trying to speak? But you don't even have a human voice yet.
27:04Trials are competitive by nature. But not at the expense of your bond as sisters.
27:12Perhaps this is a chance to rebuild your sisterhood. After all, you are both exceptional.
27:18What? That's not fair! Elaine and Nyxen are miles ahead of them!
27:23Professor, perhaps you'll reconsider once you know what Hilda has been hiding from me.
27:28What?
27:34Elaine, explain yourself.
27:36She's talking nonsense! I'm not hiding anything!
27:41Professor, check Hilda's mana level, please.
27:49Level two?
27:51No progress in three months!
27:54If she's level two, then where did all that Mina come from? Was the pillar broken?
28:01Help me raise Alias, Elaine.
28:04I 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?
28:12Professor, Alias's growth is strange.
28:14Perhaps the resource logs might tell us why.
28:20Hilda, in three 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!
28:31Alias is so strong, I just wanted him to reach his full potential faster!
28:34And yet you remain at level two.
28:36Not a single drop of that essence was used on yourself.
28:40But Elaine has reached...
28:42Level seven!
28:45Hilda, you are disqualified from the trials.
28:48The excess resources will be deducted from your future allowance.
28:52The position of Premier Apprentice remains with Elaine Tideswan.
29:05Helene, you stay.
29:17To be continued...
29:36Hilda will come with you. This is why I urged you to choose the Fire Drakon. We need powerful Beastmasters
29:42for what's coming.
29:43I have reasons, Professor. And I hope you'll be careful with him as well.
29:48Why?
29:52I don't have substantial proof yet.
29:54Then you should guide Hilda. The infiltration is accelerating and we...
29:58Professor, the Nine-Tailed Volpel owns the priority now. I will bring it back.
30:03Your parents died in a similar riot back then. I've always felt it all happen too sudden and unnatural.
30:12The infiltration is accelerating. It all happened too sudden and unnatural.
30:22I never understood what Alias had done. We had no bond. He could have simply killed me and taken Hilda.
30:28Why destroy the entire Academy? It 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
31:03it for me.
31:04Now 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 favour to the Academy if you would.
31:17My, my, Elaine.
31:19Your little slither is quite clingy, isn't he?
31:32Nyxen, what are you doing here?
31:35Hilda 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.
31:46It was a mission from...
31:47It's fine.
31:49Once I eat the fox, your bond is still only mine.
32:16It's fine.
32:18You hit me for that furball?
32:21Professor 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.
32:43She's been acting weird since the Trials.
32:45The Valley.
32:46It's strictly off-limits.
32:48What is she doing there?
32:53I told you!
32:55That's a lot of away from me!
32:56I'm not going anywhere!
33:01Don't stare at me like that!
33:03The trial was not my fault!
33:07Hunt for essence?
33:09Go outside?
33:10Are you insane?
33:12I'm a level two, I'd be eaten alive!
33:14Are you trying to kill me?
33:18Human form?
33:19With what?
33:19We have no quata left.
33:20I can't pull essence out of thin air.
33:22If you're looking for someone to blame,
33:23blame Elaine!
33:24Her serpent is already speaking,
33:26with a human voice.
33:27And you?
33:27All you do is scribble with your claws.
33:29I'm sick of-
33:29In my past life,
33:30he wouldn't give me a single look.
33:33Now, look at him.
33:34Writing for Hilda, stroke by stroke.
33:38It was a long way to find you, Hilda.
33:42Elaine?
33:44Elaine?
33:44You-
33:44Why are you here?
33:49Elaine?
33:51What brings you here?
34:02I'm here to ask.
34:03What do you want with my familiar?
34:07Just asking about training methods.
34:10Don't overthink it.
34:11She's lying.
34:12She complained that you stole me,
34:14and I should belong to her.
34:17Too weak, though.
34:18A flick of a spell
34:20sent her out of the yard.
34:27Hilda,
34:28if you can't sustain Allelius,
34:30give him away.
34:31And don't even think about Nixen.
34:33You took him first!
34:34You left me no chance!
34:42You and Naxen?
34:43You've already bonded?
34:45Next time,
34:45I will drag you to the Academy Tribunal.
34:48And you know
34:48the penalty for poaching is
34:50expulsion.
34:51Allelius, let me-
34:58Compared to the hell
34:59you put me through last life,
35:00this is nothing but an appetizer.
35:07This is not the way
35:08to the Academy.
35:10Look.
35:11Look.
35:14Look.
35:16Look.
35:21Thank goodness.
35:22The seal is still holding.
35:24We should leave.
35:28No!
35:33No!
35:41Whatever's down there
35:42is ancient.
35:43You can feel it?
35:44In my past life,
35:46the serpent there
35:47reduced the Academy to ruins.
35:52Faintly,
35:53deep down,
35:54feels familiar.
35:56Whatever it is,
35:58Allelius must stay away.
35:59And it must stay in.
36:01No matter the cost.
36:11We have a problem.
36:13What is it?
36:15The Ninetaled Vuckfin is gone!
36:20Did you eat it?
36:21We've been together
36:22all day!
36:27Missing since dawn.
36:29No signs of break-in.
36:31Like it just
36:32walked out.
36:46We must find
36:48the Volfari.
36:49Identify the cause.
36:51Nyxen knows it's sent.
36:53We'll check the perimeter.
36:54Oh!
36:55Perfect chance
36:56to guide the freshman.
36:57In training
36:58and tracking.
36:59Take them with you!
37:01No!
37:02No!
37:02No!
37:03No!
37:21Are you sure about this?
37:23Professor Willis, call.
37:29That cub is chewing
37:31its master's hair.
37:32I'm aware.
37:53the goblin is gone.
37:57It was...
37:58tiny.
38:09hands off.
38:11Even you,
38:12human cubs.
38:25even you,
38:39someone has to look
38:40after them.
38:42Elaine?
38:43Is he really,
38:44really your familiar?
38:46He has a name.
38:48Nixon.
38:49Scared of snakes?
38:50Scared of snakes?
38:52No!
38:57No!
39:00No!
39:19He's gorgeous
39:47What are you doing here?
39:49Professor Willa sent us
39:50Ninetales seek their own
39:52Ancient blood calls to ancient blood
40:06Get back to the academy
40:08We can help
40:09Our families are ready
40:10Go
40:11Go get Professor Willa
40:33Alias, hold them off
40:39What are you doing?
40:41I'm your
40:42Master
40:56Fall back
41:12It's close to the academy?
41:14How?
41:19Aelius!
41:20What was that?
41:21You were supposed to protect me
41:22No use asking
41:24He's mute
41:34Aelius
41:35He got the Valkyrie's scent
41:42Nyxon and my panda
41:44Also carry the Valkyrie's scent
41:47It is hardly proof
41:49Professor, the Valkyrie didn't escape
41:51It was released
41:52To what end?
41:55It's about the seal in the valley
42:01What's hidden beneath it, exactly?
42:09Jormungandr
42:10Blood of the creators
42:13Fallen to darkness
42:14And entombed in the valley
42:16You've been there?
42:18I have
42:18I have
42:19The seal is incredibly strong
42:20I also found a blue supreme essence in the woods
42:23It anchors the academy's wards
42:25Talon keeps it for his chief apprentice
42:27No one told you
42:28No one told you
42:29Because you aren't ready
42:30I understand
42:37Nooo
42:37That's exactly how Aelius claimed it last time
42:42Professor!
42:43Besides the essence
42:44What else could break that seal?
42:47I'd be worried if someone else were asking
42:50I can't let any harm come to the academy
42:52I know
42:55Jormungandr descends from the god of death and his sight
42:59If there were a mass sacrifice
43:03That's it
43:04That's the answer
43:06What answer?
43:09Uh, nothing
43:16Aelius!
43:17Formation 3!
43:18Shield up!
43:22Aelius?
43:24Aelius!
43:26What are you doing?
43:29Aelius!
43:44It won't work
43:45I know what you're planning
43:48Aelius!
