Magical Warfare (魔法戦争)

Where...

am I?

I can't move... my body.

Takeshi!

Takeshi!

Isoshima?

No!

No! No!

No...

Takeshi!

Isoshima!

A dream?

What a horrible dream!

Magical Warfare

The Magic Sword's Secret

Basically, like that.

That's amazing...

Magic isn't the sort of thing you can learn overnight.

Only focus and train hard.

That's the shortest path to mastering it.

Right!

Are you okay?

Mui.

Sorry, my brother is a really tough teacher.

It's fine.

Actually, I kinda feel bad,

asking him to oversee our practices.

That's completely fine.

He said he wanted to be of help to you guys.

I see.

Is something wrong?

U-Um...

Well, you see...

Here!

What's this?

It's chocolate.

Today's Valentine's Day.

Thank you.

Just like the one I got.

Brother! Don't tell him that!

But wouldn't you be bothered if he got the wrong idea?

I wouldn't be bothered at all!

Do you like Nanase-kun?

No!

Then you should come out and say so,

or he'll misunderstand you.

You can just leave right now, Brother!

I'll see you in class later!

I never knew Tsuganashi-san had such a sister complex.

You got chocolate from Mui, didn't you?

Y-Yeah...

Huh? Is this...

Yeah. Mui and I made our chocolates together this year,

so the wrapping and the contents are the same.

Though you don't seem very excited to get my chocolate...

That's not true at all.

Thank you.

So, Takeshi... about your return gift.

Jumping the gun a bit?

I'd like marshmallows from Telmar.

Telmar?

If you don't know where it is, I can take you along.

Then you could buy your return gift for Mui, too.

Oh, you're right. Okay then, please do.

Roger that.

Takeshi!

Takeshi? Are you okay? You look a little pale.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Let's go.

Clouds?

Hurray! Yay! Yay!

Mui?

Hurray! Hurray! A giant pudding!

Pudding! Pudding! Pudding! Pudding! Pudding!

Hurray!

I'm gonna eat it up!

It's dangerous! Stay back!

Mui!

Pudding! Pudding!

Mui!

What was that?!

Nanase-kun.

Tsuganashi-san? That uniform...

Yeah. I had some business at headquarters.

Were you still up at this hour?

No, I... had kind of a strange dream.

Mui was...

Mui? Tell me, what kind of dream was this?

Oh! No, it was just a regular dream... I guess...

You look a bit pale.

Do you dream often?

Well, just these past two or three days...

Sometimes, nightmares are caused by magic.

If they're that bad, you should see Hyoudou-sensei about them.

I will. Thank you very much.

Have a good night.

Good night!

Magic? It couldn't be, could it?

You fell?

I slipped on the staircase in our dorm.

But it's nothing serious!

What? Again?

It was the pudding.

Kurumi!

Pudding?! What about pudding?

M-Mui was rushing to the dining hall to be

first in line for the leftover pudding.

That's when she tripped and fell down the stairs.

Nice!

Honestly, talk about a glutton...

Takeshi?

What's wrong?

Nanase? Your face is white as a sheet.

Nothing's... wrong...

Takeshi-kun!

Oh, no! Takeshi!

Nanase! What's wrong?!

Takeshi-kun!

Are you awake now?

Those girls were so worried, they looked like they might cry,

but they went back to class.

You lady killer!

You're fatigued from not getting enough sleep.

What have you been up to at night?

Nothing really.

Ow! That hurts!

I'm making it hurt. Don't mess with the school nurse, my boy.

Ow...

Now sleep.

Go to sleep right now.

And don't get up again until I say you can!

Understood?

Yes, ma'am.

Then, good night.

Good night...

Who's there?

Who are you?

Washizu!

Hm? Nanase? What's—

Nanase! Wake up, Nanase!

Damn it, wake up! Wake up, Nanase!

Hyoudou-sensei?

How long?!

How long have you been having nightmares?

Why didn't you come to me sooner?

Did you want to die?!

This is being caused by Twilight.

By Twilight?

It's a type of magic called Nightmares.

It shows glimpses of the future through bad dreams.

Night... mares...

There are other means of predicting the future magically,

but those are merely predictions.

Nightmares are different.

You mean, what happens in these prophetic dreams

can't be changed?

No...

Twilight is using your magic power to manifest in human form.

If she's doing that without your permission,

you can't allow her free rein any longer.

Listen, you need to stop keeping

Twilight at your bedside while you sleep.

If you don't...

all of your magic power will be consumed and you will die.

Have you been there by yourself all this time?

School Director's Office

Now, then. We need to put an end to this problem.

I've been informed about the situation with Twilight.

You have been instructed to keep the sword at a distance,

but it seems you haven't obeyed that order.

So decide now whether you will give Twilight to me immediately,

or obey the instructions you were given.

Director, there's something I want to find out.

And I can only do that if I have this sword.

I gave you a choice.

What further compromises would you have me make for you?

If those really are prophetic dreams, I want to see them.

Even if I can't change the futures they show me.

That willfulness of yours is reminiscent of someone I know.

I hear that during the Nightmares, Twilight takes human form.

Have you ever seen it?

I think...

it's this girl who appears in my dreams sometimes.

The only way for you to end

Twilight's rampage is to battle that girl inside your dream.

If you can defeat her there, you will be able to use Twilight freely.
