Endro! (えんどろ～！)

-- There you are! -- That was awesome!

Fascinating.

Is that the power of a Hero?

Demon Lord!

Splendid. If you would agree

to wield that strength in my name

rather than for your own purposes,

I could easily grant you half the world, Hero.

I don't need it!

All I want is to live in a land where everyone

has a reason to smile and be at peace!

You know, I knew that's what you'd say, Yusha.

Good! Then I vote we go ahead and end this.

Then we can go home and eat! And just be together!

You guys...

Yeah!

Me first!

Holy Break!

Insolence!

Huh?!

Pounding Knuckle!

Or not!

I'll show you the abyss... of Cartado!

Single, Double, Triple, Quadruple, and Quintuple.

And now for... Judgment Strike!

Weak!

Hero?!

Did you believe you'd win?

Don't think you can bury me that easily,

even with a Hero's sword!

No way. I thought we won.

He's far too strong.

Not good.

Everyone!

Please lend me your power!

But you can't! That's forbidden magic!

Although, if you were to fail...

Don't worry! Put your faith in me!

And put some faith in your amazing selves!

O Holy Spirits, filling the border between heaven and earth.

Though we are young, we honor you.

And we beseech the guardians of order.

Open. Open...

Open the prison of time, beyond this world!

We proclaim, in the name of the Hero, Yulia Chardiet,

that our hearts are one!

Our hearts are one!

Never! You will not succeed, Hero!

Dimensional Prison Barrier...

...open!

Begone to the ends of our dimension, Demon Lord!

I curse you! You'll pay for this!

Curse you, Hero!

We...

-- We did it! -- Whoo-hoo!

We did it, Yusha!

What a huge victory!

Way to go, Hero!

Oh, no it wasn't just me.

I couldn't have done it without you all at my side.

Let's go home. Everyone is waiting for us.

Yusha, it's morning. Time to wake up.

Num, num. I don't think I can sleep anymore.

Well, if that's the case, then get your butt out of bed.

Come on. Do you wanna be late for school right off the bat?

Mm... Let me just sleep five more years.

What the heck?!

I thought you said you couldn't sleep anymore!

You win. Good morning, Seira.

I'm gonna go wake up Fai and Mei, now.

You get changed and wash your face, got it?

Yeah.

Well, good morning! I sure hope you slept well, Chibi!

What a mornin'! Heh. So sorry about that, Seira!

I'm always totally starving when I first wake up!

Oh, yeah?

Hey, the tips of your ears look kind of red.

What's going on?

Stop. It's nothing, okay?

But your face is red, too.

Was it as tasty as you hoped? Tell us, Fai.

Well, lemme think about that.

What's wrong with you?! Wake up, Fai! Stop it, please!

Yeah, it was good-- soft and spongey!

Mei, didn't Seira have to come wake you up, too?

Mm-mm.

Negative. I didn't sleep in the first place.

Huh? Why not?

Mei hasn't slept because she's been

obsessively studying Cartado, all night.

What's Cartado?

Cartado is truly the epitome of all the world's mysteries,

it's the culmination of mankind's wisdom

through the ages.

Though the power within each individual card

is obviously limited, by combining cards,

you can call forth effects from the entire universe

which surpass the imagination

and lead to infinite possibilities!

For example, the combination I came up with...

Okay, okay, let's walk and talk.

Hey, Fai. Aren't we lucky to have someone like Seira

to look after us?

So true! She's kinda like a mother figure!

Cut that out you two, I'm not that old yet, okay?

Uh... I have a rather

important announcement to make this morning.

I've decided to go and live in the countryside

with my grandchild's family; so today is my last day teaching.

Just like that?!

Never fear, your new teacher has already been selected--

no need to worry. Farewell students!

Teleport!

Uhh...

See, that's what you can do when you've

honed your use of Cartado. What an impressive teacher.

Well, impressive or not, he isn't our teacher anymore.

I'm excited! Aren't you?

I can't wait to see what our new one will look like!

I...

...will be...

...your... new... teacher...

...so...

Get out of my way, you big hunk o' wood!

Starting this moment, I'm going to be your new teacher!

The Dem-- I mean, Mao.

I'm planning to whip you all into shape,

so prepare yourselves!

So cute!

I can't even handle this adorableness!

Kewt wittle teachew.

Yeah, I'm sure she'll really appreciate that

condescending attitude. But, I mean, you're not wrong.

Undeniably.

Aww...

Incoming from behind!

You're just so sweet! Aw!

I could totally squeeze you forever!

What the heck are you doing to our teacher, Yusha?!

Yusha! The Hero?

So, it's you then... Yulia Chardiet.

Yeah! But you can just call me Yusha, though.

Miss Mao.

Here on Naral Island, anything is possible.

It's a land full of magic.

But because of that, there are plenty

of unpredictable problems, as well.

Normally, the Royal Military would handle

any trouble that might arise,

but, truth is, they can't even keep up with it.

So, that's why our homeland needs hearty adventurers.

And they need to be jacks of all trades.

Great, no pressure...

This school for adventurers exists in order to

increase your overall skill level.

But, it's also important for you to hone the specific skill sets

unique to your individual Classes.

Let's start with you four!

How 'bout if you share what your classes are?

Yes, ma'am!

The Seiran family have always been priests,

and like my ancestors before me, I, too, am a healing Priest.

And I'm a warrior!

That means I hit things a whole lot!

I think it would be fascinating to be

the one in charge of choosing the sexes of baby birds.

She's not crazy, she's just a mage!

And as for me--I'm proud to say that I'm a Hero!

A Hero?

Did she say "Hero"?

Hm? What is it, did I say something strange?

Don't you understand?

Heroes only exist when there's a Demon Lord.

There are plenty of other monsters on the island,

but there's no Demon Lord around in this day and age.

Therefore, you are currently without a class at all!

What did you say?!

Welp, okay then.

The first thing to do is find a Demon Lord

living in this age, right?

Then once I do, I become a real Hero, isn't that all it takes?

I apologize for the late notice, but tomorrow,

our adventuring class will be held in the nearby ruins!

What?!

Heh. ENDRO!

Oh my gosh, I'm freaking out,

our very first practical adventure!

Right?

Hey, you two. Settle down and listen.

The time has now come for

your first practical adventure of the term!

Yes, ma'am!

But worry not.
