Reign of the Seven Spellblades (七つの魔剣が支配する)

Kimberly Magic Academy.

Twenty percent of students who enroll cannot survive here

and are "consumed" by the time they graduate.

Jack the Unblooming's blossoms look beautiful.

My goodness! You there, young man!

You're feeling quite nervous, aren't you?

-Is it that obvious? -Why, yes!

But you really should try to relax a little!

It's the day of your entrance ceremony after all!

No matter what terrible future awaits you,

face it with a smile!

Good advice. Thank you!

A terrible future awaits me?

That's probably just some joke

they tell to scare all of the first-year students.

Although, there's a decent chance

they were being serious.

After all, this school is far from ordinary.

That flower really freaked me out.

And what did she mean by that?

I don't want a "Terrible future"!

I wouldn't put any stock in what the pride plants say.

Magiflora like them absorb magic particles

from the ground which end up affecting their personalities.

People say the ones around here are particularly nasty.

Ah, I see!

Truth be told, I don't know terribly much about plants.

But I really love magical fauna.

Oh, so what's your favorite?

I can't pick just one!

I like the little ones, the big ones,

and even the super slimy ones!

"Slimy" ones? The heck are those?

Hey! You there!

The guy reading!

-You mean me? -You better put the book away

and pay attention to where you're walking!

See that, you were about to step on the Madam's stem there!

You're gonna get an earful from her

and it'll be your own fault.

How rude!

Who cares about that? Just mind your own business!

Oh, what's this?

Seems someone doesn't think they need to wear their uniform!

Hey. That girl over there.

-Is she one of those samurai? -Uh, yeah. I guess so.

Never seen a samurai before.

I couldn't help but stop and stare.

There was something special about her.

Was it her unique clothes that made her stand out?

Or maybe...

It was the strange feeling

deep in my chest.

An overwhelming sense of deja vu.

What some people might call "Destiny".

It's an entire parade of magical fauna!

That's Kimberly for you!

First a bunch of magiflora and now magical beasts?

What kind of dragon is that? Do you know what it is?

Oh, sure. That one there is a Fafnir.

You can tell by the brightness of its scales.

You know your stuff.

I wouldn't say that.

I suppose I just happen to read a lot.

You all right?

I thought you said you liked magical fauna.

Yes, I'm fine.

This parade...

Look there.

They're making that troll walk in the parade

as if it were any other beast.

It shouldn't be treated like that! It's not right!

Huh? You're getting upset over some troll?

They don't speak our language,

and the wild ones even attack people!

It makes sense to train them to serve our needs.

But they only attack humans who invade their territory!

They're actually kind and peace-loving creatures!

Back in the country, they come every year

to "kindly" mess up our fields!

Seems like they're invading us!

And who exactly do you think owned the land

-before the humans moved in? - Hey!

Both of you, cut it out.

I can't focus with the racket.

-Oh, I'm sorry about that. -My bad, dude.

Don't let it happen again.

I see, so that's a griffin.

The wings look different from the picture.

It's a complex situation, so let's talk about it later.

Maybe after we introduce ourselves.

Right. I don't even know your names.

I guess I'll go first!

Iaas.

-Hey, what are you doing? -Stop!

It's dangerous to get that close to the parade!

It's not like I want to do this! My feet are moving on their own!

-Magic? -

What's going on?

I'm not sure? That girl ran off.

Oh, no! This is bad!

That troll's heading straight for her!

Just mind your own business! Dang it!

-What the heck are they doing? -Is this part of it?

Like some kind of play?

- -

Come on. Stop it, legs!

We have to help her!

At this rate, we won't make it in time!

Halt!

Do you think you can stand up?

My legs are numb. I can't.

I see. Then stay right where you are

and I'll take care of everything.

Is that samurai gonna fight the troll all on her own?

She's gonna get herself killed.

Come on, we have to try to draw its attention

away from her!

-Tonitrus! -

It didn't even spare us a second glance!

-Let's work together! - Fine!

Wait! You saw what happened!

Our spells aren't strong enough.

The troll will just shrug them off again!

So, you want us to watch her die?

'Course not!

Please tell me you guys can use wind magic.

I can, but only a little bit.

Good enough!

Gather all the wind you can and when I give you the signal,

send it to that spot right there!

I don't get it.

What did you expect to accomplish with that?

There's no time!

If you want to save her life, then do as I say!

Very well. I'll go along with your plan.

We don't have a choice.

Sure. I'll lend a hand.

Now, Impetus!

No matter what happens, keep the spell up!

Tibia!

- -

That's dragon voice!

It was merely an imitation of a dragon's roar

but it's close enough to the real thing!

That's exactly the distraction we need.

All right!

It's time! Run away!

- -

Innocent Color?

Its head is super hard!

It's like I washed my hands in lightning!

Please give me one moment.

I'll carry you out of here

as soon as I can feel my hands again.

Uh, sure.

Thank you for the assistance.

Your magic really came in handy!

The distraction gave me the perfect opening to strike!

It was amazing!

That roar was so intense and realistic!

I swear I was about to wet myself

right then and there,

which would've been super embarrassing!

Dude, did you see the troll go berserk?

We got separated from the others.

What's up with that?

Well, I would've preferred to be separated from you, too.

You're joking, right?

So, you didn't have a plan in mind

when you stepped up in front of that troll?

A plan?

Yeah, that wouldn't been pretty helpful, huh?

Now that I think about it a little more,
