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.
20:50It's not over yet.
20:50It's not over yet.
20:51It's not over yet.
20:53It's not over yet.
20:53It's not over yet.
20:53It's not over yet.
20:53It's not over yet.
20:53It's over yet.
20:54It's over yet.
20:55It's over yet.
20:57It's over yet.
20:58It's over yet.
20:58It's over yet.
21:00It's over yet.
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 Hildeside 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.
21:49That'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 Beastwood Academy.
22:28Elaine is here.
22:32But where is her snake?
22:40Nyxen, come forth.
22:45Nyxen, come forth.
23:01Nyxen, come forth.
23:05He hasn't grown an inch.
23:07Can they even make the pillar flicker?
23:10Elaine is finished.
23:15Elaine-Ain.
23:16You 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.
23:29Trust me, Professor.
23:30Professor, this is pointless.
23:31Declare 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.
23:41Dear sister,
23:43I know it's hard to accept,
23:44but 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.
23:56I know it.
23:59I know it's hard.
24:14It's hard to admit.
24:17I know it's hard to destabilize things to you.
24:20All right.
24:20You're number one here.��
24:20guest cimentắt.
24:26that that worm it can take human form unbelievable it takes a premier at least
24:3210 years to guide a familiar towards a human you've performed a miracle
24:36Elaine
24:38impossible! Elarious is the strongest!
24:54Don't hurt them!
25:00No! You must have cheated! Elaine, 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
25:33Nyxen is the strongest femulation in the history of this academy
25:37he is beyond measure
25:44I 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
26:00don't forget you were the one who said we were a perfect match
26:03he was dying
26:05no Elaine it 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
26:19with the meagre mana you have
26:21you could 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
26:33you kept this secret
26:34just for humiliating me in front of everyone
26:38I am not like you, Hilda
26:39I wouldn't covet what isn't mine
26:44this is only the first of many defeat
26:47it means
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
27:15after all you are both exceptional
27:18what?
27:19that's not fair
27:20Elaine and Nyxen are miles ahead of them
27:22professor
27:24perhaps you'll reconsider
27:26once you know what Hilda has been hiding from me
27:54if she's level 2
27:55then where did all that Mina come from?
27:57was the pillar broken?
28:01help me raise Alias, Elaine
28:04I really can't do this without you
28:05I refuse to let her leech off of me this time
28:09so who else was left to bleed?
28:12professor, Alias' growth is strange
28:14perhaps the resource logs might tell us why
28:20Hilda
28:21in 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
28:32I 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
28:40but Elaine has reached level 7
28:44Hilda
28:45you 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 Tideswamp
29:05Elaine
29:05you stay
29:15I'm pleased with the trial results today
29:17but that's not the reason I asked you here
29:22disturbances are increasing at the borders
29:24dark forces are seeping into the wilds
29:27tainted beasts lose their sanity
29:29turning into man-eaters
29:30a nine-tailed Vorkref 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 draken
29:40we need powerful beast masters 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 Volpel 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
30:07and unnatural
30:12the infiltration is accelerating
30:14it all happened too sudden
30:16and unnatural
30:22I never understood what Alias had done
30:24we had no bond
30:26he could have simply killed me and taken Hilda
30:28why destroy the entire academy?
30:30it wasn't freedom he wanted
30:32what is he really after?
30:36it was frequently
30:38with cheeky
30:39it would.
30:45tive
30:45halted
30:45oh
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 favor to the academy if you would.
31:17My, my, Elaine. Your little slither is quite clingy, isn't he?
31:32Nyxen, what are you doing here?
31:35Hilda came to me today. I 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...
31:48It's fine. Once I eat the fox, your bond is still only mine.
32:18You hit me for that fur ball?
32:21Professor Talon entrusted this Vulpry to me. If you lay a finger on it, I will never forgive you.
32:33Elaine, what brings you here? Where is Hilda?
32:39She took Alias to the valley. For training, I guess. She's been acting weird since the trials.
32:45The valley. It's strictly off-limits. What is she doing there?
32:53I told you. That's enough away from me. I'm not going anywhere.
33:01Don't stare at me like that. The trial was not my fault.
33:07Hunt for essence? Go outside? Are you insane?
33:11I'm a level two. I'd be eaten alive. Are you trying to kill me?
33:18Human form? With what? We have no quata left. I can't pull essence out of thin air.
33:22If you're looking for someone to blame, blame Elaine.
33:24Her serpent is already speaking with a human voice.
33:27And you, all you do is scribble with your claws. I'm sick of-
33:29In my past life, he wouldn't give me a single look.
33:33Now, look at him. Writing for Hilda stroke by stroke.
33:38It was a long way to find you, Hilda.
33:42Elaine? You- Why are you here?
33:49Elaine, what brings you here?
34:02I'm here to ask. What do you want with my familiar?
34:07Just asking about training methods. Don't overthink it.
34:11She's lying. She complained that you stole me and I should belong to her.
34:17Too weak, though. A flick of a spell sent her out of the yard.
34:27Hilda, if you can't sustain Allelius, give him away. And don't even think about Nyxen.
34:33You took him first! You left me no chance!
34:42You and Nyxen? You've already bonded?
34:45Next time, I will drag you to the Academy Tribunal.
34:48And you know the penalty for poaching is...
34:50Expulsion.
34:51Elysius, let me...
34:53Elysius, let me...
34:58Compared to the hell you put me through last life, this is nothing but an appetizer.
35:08This is not the way to the Academy.
35:09See you.
35:10Look.
35:21Thank goodness, the seal is still holding.
35:24We should leave.
35:28No!
35:41Whatever's down there is ancient.
35:43You can feel it?
35:44In my past life, the Serpent Lair reduced the Academy to ruins.
35:52Faintly, deep down, feels familiar.
35:55Whatever it is, Alerius must stay away, and it must stay in, no matter the cost.
36:11We have a problem.
36:13What is it?
36:15The Ninetild Vakfin is gone.
36:20Did you eat it?
36:21We've been together all day.
36:27Missing since dawn.
36:29No signs of break-in.
36:31Like it just...
36:32walked out.
36:46We must find the Volfari.
36:49Identify the cause.
36:50Nyxen knows its scent.
36:53We'll check the perimeter.
36:54Oh, perfect chance to guide the freshmen.
36:57In training and tracking.
36:59Take them with you.
37:21Are you sure about this?
37:23Professor Willis, call.
37:29That cub is chewing its master's hair.
37:32I'm aware.
37:33Oh, perfect chance to guide the missing finish of the Crab었an Devil's.
37:35Oh, perfect chance to guide the solution.
37:35Stop.
37:37Ah!
37:38Oh, perfect chance to hide.
