The Arnold Academy of Magic is a school for the elite...and Ray White is just your ordinary guy. In fact, he doesn't seem particularly skilled with magic at all, and is a bit of a klutz. Which is why he has nothing to do with the rumor that one of the great magicians, the Iceblade Sorcerer, is a member of the incoming class...right?

00:00These ice blades are like emblems they're not my true power
00:30No games! Your teacher asked a question and I just left a proper answer wait!
00:34They're symbols, or a calling card for the ice blade sorcerer
00:38Nonsense! I'm gonna answer now!
00:48Deceleration
00:50Lock
00:52Registration
00:53Lock
00:58Now professor, it's time for a quick lesson
01:00What's the most significant difference between fire and ice based sorcery?
01:04What? Are you seriously asking me such a foolish question right now?
01:08I told you, the main difference is how the code affects the particles vibrations
01:13Acceleration or deceleration
01:15That's it exactly, as expected
01:18Through the deceleration, ice is manifested
01:23Most execute the process merely on a subconscious level
01:26But I created a code to control deceleration and anchoring myself
01:30A code so precise that an average sorcerer could never recreate it
01:34And when the anti-material code is applied over it, I can reverse the code theory itself
01:39In fact I can break any spell down to prima materia
01:42What? You're spewing out one lie after another
01:45No one successfully used anti-material code
01:48Clearly you don't get it
01:50I possess the unique ability to return all sorcery back to the void
01:54That is the true nature of the current ice blade sorcerer
01:58Material shift to ice sword
02:06What's he doing?
02:08Damn! This fight should have been over when I used the Dark Triad
02:12So why aren't you dead?
02:15What is she trying to do to him?
02:17I have no idea
02:18Whatever it is, it looks bad
02:19It's mind infiltration sorcery
02:25I've got you now!
02:33It looks like something weird is starting to happen to Ray
02:36His whole body is changing
02:38He's getting covered in ice
02:49You can't fully control your own power, can you Light?
02:58You're dead! Get ready!
03:00It's over, Ice Blade!
03:02Ray!
03:08You have no chance, Ice Blade or not!
03:14Ice Blade, move for fusion!
03:19No!
03:33What the?
03:40Now professor, why don't you chill there for a little while?
03:49Deceleration
03:53I shouldn't forget
03:55Chronos lock activate
03:57Ray!
03:58Hey man!
03:59Are you okay?
04:02I was able to save them
04:04No one had to die
04:06Is this enough?
04:08Did I make things right?
04:10Master...
04:19Are you okay?
04:21Can you hear me?
04:22Hey kid, are you hurt?
04:26Hang in there, we'll help you
04:35Lydia, what's going on?
04:37Oh my goodness, this whole time I had no idea you were a mom
04:40That's really your first assumption, Pinky?
04:42I mean, geez, I'm still...
04:44Go on, you're still a what, huh?
04:49Colonel! Lydia's being scary!
04:54That's enough, Ainsworth
04:56You care to tell us what's going on here?
04:58I was on patrol when I heard a voice crying out to me
05:01Upon a further search of the area, I found this poor thing
05:04With no other family or survivors nearby
05:08What? They're refusing to take him in?
05:10Kid's a war orphan, for goodness sake!
05:12Yeah, and apparently the village that he comes from is special
05:16Special how?
05:17It's a completely independent domain located within the country
05:20Word is, the government stands as strictly non-intervention
05:23Are they seriously trying to say that this kid's not a citizen?
05:26That's just ridiculous!
05:30Also, the village is said to be cursed
05:33Cursed?
05:34They perform rituals that summon gods through mediums
05:37Curses and gods? You can't be serious, people still talk about that stuff?
05:41I mean, yes, they absolutely do
05:43Ceremonies and religions still exist in the kingdom as well
05:46Only a few, and they're dwindling
05:48Before the code theory was discovered, magic was still considered supernatural
05:53We understand it now through sorcery
05:55If research keeps at its current rate, we might even uncover the true meaning of the world itself
06:00But in order for people to go on living, there are certain things that must remain hidden as well
06:05I won't deny there are psychological benefits
06:08By the way
06:09What now?
06:10I hear that the boy has regained consciousness
06:13What? Why didn't you tell me that first?
06:18So, sweetie, can you tell me your name?
06:23Carol
06:24Right here
06:25How's he doing?
06:26He's stable now, but...
06:29So what's your name, kid?
06:34It's no use
06:35Ray
06:37Did you just say that your name is Ray?
06:39Yeah
06:41It's nice to meet you, Ray
06:43And my name is Lydia Ainsworth
06:46Lydia...
06:48Hey, do you want to play some ball with me?
06:51Carol, what are you doing?
06:54Becoming friends with Ray? What's it look like, silly?
06:57Today I've been reading him some cool picture books
06:59What do you call me, Ray?
07:01Tell Lydia the special name I taught you to use
07:04You're Carol
07:05I told you
07:06I want you to call me Carol Carol, okay?
07:09Now why don't you try saying I love you, Carol Carol?
07:12Hi, Carol
07:15Oh, Ray
07:16Good job
07:17Looks like you're already figuring out how to deal with this pink weirdo, aren't you?
07:22Hey, that's not funny, Lydia
07:24Why do you always have to be so mean to me?
07:26Hold up
07:30Whoa, he laughed
07:31He laughed, didn't he?
07:33It seemed like he did, yeah
07:36Listen up, Ray
07:37I'm going to tell you all about my legendary acts of bravery
07:40Don't torture us
07:42Shut up, pinky
07:43Make me
07:48Lydia, we have to solve this Ray situation
07:51Have you found somewhere we could take him?
07:53Not yet
07:55I just don't know what's best for him
07:57If I didn't know any better, I would say that you're thinking of taking the kid in yourself
08:02Of course not
08:03I mean, we're just soldiers for crying out loud
08:05I can't take him in, I know that
08:08But I have a feeling Carol's going to have a different idea
08:12No way!
08:13Ray is staying with me!
08:18What do we do now?
08:19Caroline, you understand that it's entirely out of the question
08:22What's the big issue?
08:23I have plenty of money to keep him fed and all that stuff
08:26We have our mission to consider, Carol
08:28I'll take him to my own house if I have to, but I'm not abandoning a poor defenseless kid
08:34Everyone here understands exactly where you're coming from, we really do
08:37But there's nothing we can do
08:38Hey, there's plenty we can do, so hush!
08:40Yes ma'am, we're sorry
08:42What do you two think?
08:43Wholeheartedly agree, Colonel
08:45I think he should be given to an orphanage or put up for adoption
08:49And you, Ainsworth?
08:56Well, I think...
09:01Ray...
09:04Ray, and what do you think of all of this?
09:08You... heard us talking?
09:16Let me stay with you
09:33Colonel?
09:34Yes, what is it?
09:37I'm not a mother, but I do have a niece
09:40So I have experience with children, and Carol and Abby are willing to help out too
09:45I'll be responsible for him
09:47Is there something in particular about Ray that inspires you to go to such lengths?
09:51Yes, indeed there is
09:53Which is precisely why I believe he needs proper guidance
09:57I'm sure he'll be fine
09:59There is, which is precisely why I believe he needs proper guidance
10:03Understood, and as long as it has no ill effect on your duties, you have my permission
10:08Oh, thank goodness!
10:11You hear that, Ray? You're gonna be staying with us forever!
10:15Ray...
10:17Now you'll be living with me
10:19No, you'll be with all of us
10:22Together?
10:23Uh-huh
10:26Okay
10:27That's great, which means that you can refer to me as your master
10:31Master?
10:32Yes, Ray, you are my new apprentice
10:35So get ready, because I plan on teaching you everything I know
10:39Right, I'm ready, Master
10:46Captain! We're under attack!
10:48Everyone, retreat!
10:58Hmm?
11:00Hmm?
11:02Icicle Blades!
11:10Complete annihilation of enemy squad confirmed
11:13Great work, guys! I think the soldiers can handle it from here, right, Ray?
11:17Yep, Master and the others are waiting for us
11:22Just a kid did that?
11:24It was. And aren't those the Astrals from the Arnold Kingdom's army?
11:29This is Corain. Subjugation complete. We're heading back now
11:33Overheating. What an awful sight
11:37Excessive use of sorcery. The stress from being in an environment where death is omnipresent
11:42It's almost as if battlefields were designed to cause overheating
11:46It's sad to see, really
11:48Rampant power that's impossible to control, which leads to total mental obliteration
11:54A disease caused by modern sorcery, I've no doubt
11:57Yes, and it doesn't really discriminate either
12:00All sorcerers on the battlefield are at risk
12:03It can happen to anyone
12:07So the current situation is as follows
12:10I'm sorry to report the sorcerers Konepiki and Raimei have both been confirmed dead
12:14You mean of the Seven Grants?
12:16Who out there is strong enough to do that?
12:18I suppose that should dispel any remaining doubt that the Eiwul Empire's intervening in this war
12:23From this point forward, the battlefields promise to become more intense and ferocious
12:27And there's no guarantee that we Astrals will come out of it unscathed either
12:31So I want all of you to redouble your energy and focus
12:34Rei, you might be too young for this level of combat
12:37So if you'd rather go to safety, we'll support you
12:40But Captain Corain...
12:41This kind of thing takes experience
12:43And seeing as you're the same age as my son, I don't think you're ready to be thrown into serious combat
12:49My master taught me that those who have talent bear a greater responsibility
12:53I think of everyone in this unit like family
12:56No, you guys are my only family
13:00Commander Hendrick, Captain Corain, Colonel Garnet, Derek, Howard, Master, and Kale too, I guess
13:09Little old me!
13:10I've been training for this since I enlisted
13:13Don't worry, kid. If anything goes wrong out there, I'll be right beside you
13:18Howard...
13:24Howard, no!
13:28Howard!
13:34No, Rei, try to control it!
13:40Howard!
13:43Rei, you must survive
13:46Just promise me you will
13:48Don't worry about me, because I'll be up there watching you grow
13:51Don't go...
13:52Howard!
13:53Survive, Rei
13:55Live your life
14:03Hey, are you hurt?
14:08Master...
14:10Listen...
14:12We heard what happened
14:14I deeply apologize
14:16It's okay. I would have done exactly the same
14:19Don't beat yourself up
14:21In the end, somehow everything worked out
14:24And sooner or later, you won't even need the Chronos Lock
14:29Where are the others?
14:30They're fine
14:31Just a little magical energy deficiency
14:34But all of them have fully recovered since
14:36Thanks to your help, Rei
14:38Rei...
14:51I'm so relieved to know that you're okay
14:53Well, come visit me when you've got some free time
14:56Yes, I promise
14:58Please do
15:05Yes, Carla?
15:07Listen, Rei
15:08I really think you should know that Miss Lydia was extremely worried about you
15:13Please be sure to get plenty of rest
15:16You need it
15:23At first, I was against this whole idea
15:27I didn't want you to come to the Academy
15:30In my opinion, you needed more time to rest and heal
15:34Of course, there were other sorcery academies to choose from
15:37That aren't so obsessed with status and bloodlines
15:40I knew this school would be especially tough for an ordinary
15:43Raised on the battlefield, the air thick with death
15:47You've been through so much pain already
15:49Frankly, I couldn't stomach the idea of these so-called nobles
15:52Treating you as less than a human
15:54So I wanted to protect you as best I could
15:57Miss Appy...
15:58But then, Lydia came to me with her head bowed
16:02Master came to you?
16:03She and I have a lot of history between us
16:05But she'd never made a request like this before
16:08Rei has grown into someone who's stronger and yet gentler than we'd ever dreamed
16:13I believe he deserves more out of life
16:15He deserves to experience the world
16:18Every last bit of it, good and bad
16:20To learn how it feels
16:22To have choices
16:23How to live a somewhat normal life
16:25Rei needs some time away from adults
16:27And away from the battlefield
16:29He may be mature for his age
16:31That doesn't mean he should completely miss the chance to be a kid
16:37He's never had friends who are his own age
16:40I mean, I had you around and Carol too, I suppose, so...
16:47I see
16:48So that's the reason you want him here
16:52He suffered
16:54All I want is for him to find a little joy
16:58Lydia
16:59Appy
17:01I'm begging you
17:04All for me?
17:17Oh my gosh, I'm so glad Rei is okay!
17:20I'm sure he knows how much you care about him
17:31Promise me you'll try to enjoy your school life
17:34And find your path to happiness
17:37That is my sincere wish
17:39And Lydia's as well
17:43Yes
17:49Go on in
17:53You came to see me?
17:55Of course
17:56So, uh, are you okay?
17:59Yeah
18:00Awesome, so happy to hear that
18:03Uh, Rei?
18:05I'm sorry
18:06I wasn't being totally honest with you guys
18:09The truth is, I am one of the Seven Grands
18:12The Ice Blade Sorcerer
18:15Whoa, really?
18:17I was on the front lines of the Far East War alongside my master and the others
18:22But in the final battle, I overheated
18:25Overheated?
18:27It means that I fully lost control of my engram
18:30To be honest, I'm still trying to piece together what happened that day
18:34When I finally came to, I saw everything around me had been reduced to rubble
18:38And though she was broken and bloody, I was in my master's arms
18:42I still struggle to keep that from happening again
18:45I use a spell called Chronos Lock to prevent myself from overheating
18:49Makes sense, that's why you have trouble with sorcery
18:52It is
18:53But what weighs on me most of all
18:56Is losing so many dear friends in that battle
18:59Knowing how badly I injured my master
19:01And I can't even get my head around how many enemy lives I took
19:05Because of the unbelievable shame I felt
19:08I tried so hard to hide the sins of my past from everyone here
19:12My hands are stained with blood
19:14After everything I've done
19:16Do I even deserve to have friends like you?
19:19I've been asking myself that question this whole time
19:23But I don't have an answer
19:27...
19:32We're glad you're here, Ray
19:35Amelia...
19:36Regardless of what may have happened in the past
19:39I still believe in the person that you are today
19:42You're thoughtful and caring and nothing can change that
19:45Yeah, Ray
19:46You're my best bud and such an awesome guy
19:49The past is behind you and we'll always be friends
19:52I'll always be right there by your side, Ray, no matter what
19:55I mean, like a normal friend, of course
19:57Jeez!
19:58I'm actually kind of offended you thought I'd bail on you
20:01I'm way cooler than that
20:03Ray!
20:04You're not alone, okay?
20:06We would never abandon you
20:08So don't worry
20:18Thanks, you guys
20:20Really
20:26...
20:33Oh, hey
20:35Mr. Olium
20:37What? I, uh...
20:40Didn't expect a visit from you
20:44Listen, I'm sorry for the way I've treated you
20:48But the things I've done can't simply be taken back
20:51Apology accepted
20:53It's water under the bridge
20:54You would forgive me that easily?
20:56You owned up to your mistakes and gave a sincere apology
21:00A lot of people don't have the strength to do that
21:03I can tell you really mean it
21:06You couldn't keep it in any longer
21:08You had to tell me, right, Albert?
21:11Well, that's it, right
21:13You can call me Ray
21:15But after all, I...
21:16At least that is what all my friends call me
21:21I have been struggling with this, obviously
21:23I don't know how you can stay so strong without straying from your path
21:27Tell me, Ray
21:28Nobody is the same
21:30Some are born into top families
21:32Or they have a natural talent for doing certain things
21:35But there's more to it than that
21:37Your environment plays a huge role in everything
21:40Despite where I came from
21:42I was able to find people who cared for me and encouraged me
21:47Try and see yourself as someone who doesn't know your faults
21:51When you change your perspective, you can change yourself
21:54Use a new point of view to guide you down the path that you want to take
21:58It may take time to figure it out
22:00But I know you'll find your way
22:05I wasted my life hating others
22:07All because I was feeling jealous and insecure
22:09I need to change
22:16It's okay
22:17That was the first step to growing stronger
22:20Ray, thank you so much
22:25Due to unfortunate personal reasons
22:27Professor Grady's left the academy
22:29It's my pleasure to introduce our new instructor
22:32Oh, hello, my lovelies
22:35I'm so happy to be here as your new homeroom teacher
22:39My name is Carol Caroline
22:42Call me Carol, or even Caro-Caro
22:45Or Miss Caroline, if that's what floats your boat, okay?
22:52Wait, what in the...
22:54Wahoo! We're gonna have so much fun together
23:15We're gonna have so much fun together
23:17We're gonna have so much fun together
23:19We're gonna have so much fun together
23:21We're gonna have so much fun together
23:45To be continued
