Well, he is my contracted spirit, so I should be able to get food for him.
I got yelled at for three hours, and—
Finally, tomorrow's the contracting ceremony.
Yes, if we can win, we'll be able to contract with a military spirit.
Not just "can win," the two of us will win.
Yeah, let's do this.
I can't let people see me like this.
Blade Dance of the Elementalers
Episode 2
Blade Dance at Midnight
I'm hungry...
Our school's goal is to
mentor the shrine princesses of strong-blooded, noble families.
I know that.
There's a lot of problem children in our class.
And having a male student is an issue in and of itself.
I'm sorry.
It's fine. The headmaster explained the situation.
You're going to represent the school in the Blade Dance and win, correct?
You make it sound easy.
The Blade Dance is a ritual held as an offering
to the five great spirit lords.
It's a huge tournament between elementalers.
The country with the winning team will be
provided protection by the spirit lords for years,
and that country will receive a period of prosperity.
In other words,
these princesses honor their country, and fight for it.
So, what are you fighting for, Kamito Kazehaya?
I was asked me to come here, so I did. That's all.
Actually, I could go for some food now.
Well, I won't ask any more questions.
There's a student cafeteria up ahead.
You forgot to mention something.
Namely, that the winner of the Blade Dance has one of their wishes granted.
You've got to be kidding me!
That wasn't a cafeteria.
That's way too expensive for a cafeteria.
Seems you're quite hungry.
This is for me?!
Yes.
You're a good person, you know that Rinslet?
I'll let you have this soup if you bark like a good dog,
and promise to be my servant.
How about no?
See you later.
Listen to what I have to say, brute!
What? You're going to give it to me now?
Yes, if you lick my feet—
Ow!
Are you all right, Young Miss?!
What are you, a debt collector?
You've got nothing here. Why not come back to my place, instead?
I can hire you as a butler of sorts.
I appreciate the offer, but I'd like to retain my pride.
Okay, fine.
Carol made too much.
Be grateful that I'm so generous.
Wait, Rinslet.
What is it?
I'll be your friend.
Huh?
Thanks.
You don't have to thank me for giving you leftovers.
Rinslet!
Don't feed my contracted spirit without my permission, bitch!
What was that?!
Who's the bitch, here?
Your house crest is a dog, is it not?
The Laurenfrost crest portrays the proud dire wolf.
Dire wolf?
Wouldn't a chihuahua be a better fit?
Claire Rouge, you have made me very angry.
Beast of fangs which bestows frost,
hunter of the frozen forest,
I compel thee to follow our contract of blood,
and appear before me now!
So that's her...?
Yes, that's the Young Miss's ice demon spirit, Fenrir.
A high level spirit, just like Claire's fire-cat, huh?
She's pretty strong.
Your dog always has such a fine coat, if nothing else.
Again with the "dog" insults, Flat-Chest?!
I won't stand for you insulting the Laurenfrost family.
Who you calling flat-chested?
Come, Scarlet!
I'm ending this today, bitch!
I'm taking your slave from you.
Hey! You shouldn't be using your spirits here!
Shouldn't we stop them?
It's okay. They're really good friends.
Scarlet!
Fenrir!
You're always getting in my way!
And why do you have to keep butting into my business?
My house...
Rinslet! Wait, stop!
Fire!
You're just trying to trick me into...
Oh, it seems you're telling the truth.
How are you going to fix this?
I can easily put out a fire like that.
Fenrir.
Fangs that bestow frost,
pierce!
Freezing arrow!
A piece of cake for me.
You did put out the fire, but...
Oh. I might have overdone it just a little.
Just a little? You can't control your power, huh?
Shut up!
You're the one who started fire in the first place—
What are you guys doing?!
Unsanctioned fights are forbidden on school grounds!
You didn't like the house I built,
so then you...
No!
This dumb dog here blew it away.
Oh? Not before Flat-Chest here set it on fire.
You guys again...
Problem children of Raven Class.
Fire-Cat Claire and Ice-Demon Rinslet.
So, you're the male elementaler that transferred into the school?
Trying to put the moves on him?
Sounds like something a backwater noble would do. Pretty sad.
Backwater noble?
Want to try saying that again?
Young Miss, calm down!
And the other one isn't even a noble.
She's the little sister of a traitor.
The little sister of a traitor?
Shut up...
I'll burn you all to cinders.
That's enough, all of you.
I will report this incident to the knight command.
You will receive notification of your punishment.
Let's go.
Wait.
You're running away?
What did you just say?
You didn't hear me?
I'm surprised the knights are so cowardly.
Claire Rouge.
I will not allow any disrespect toward the knights.
I don't care what you say about me,
but I will not allow any disrespect toward Nee-sama.
I challenge you all to a duel!
I do as well, Claire Rouge.
I bear my fangs to those who insult the Laurenfrost family.
That's our family motto.
Very well.
Tonight, then.
With you in the mix, that makes it three on three.
Huh?
Flame, illuminate.
You really need to clean.
I was kinda busy.
Scarlet. Please.
Scarlet is a good girl, unlike you.
Thanks. What a good kitty.
A proud spirit, being ordered around like this...
I'm doing the same to you.
Whatever.
After all, I am letting you freeload here for a while.
Isn't it against the rules to bring a guy into the girls' dorm?
It's not a problem because you're my contracted spirit.
I think this goes without saying, but if you try to do something to me,
I'll have Scarlet turn you to cinders.
Looking forward to working with you, my "equal."
I'm sure Rinslet would try something with you again if I threw you out.
Hm?
"The Count and the Naughty Princess."
"Tease Me More, Master."
"Pirates Kidnapped the Princess."
Don't look!
What's your problem?
Huh?
What now?
Nothing.
Do you have a roommate?
No.
No one wants to room with me.
What about your partner for the Blade Dance?
You need five elementalers on one team, right?
I'll be fine by myself.
As long as I have a powerful spirit...
Which is why you're going to show me what you can do, Slave Spirit.
You got me involved in all of this.
I haven't even eaten, yet.
I'll feed you—I mean, I'll give you a nice meal.
You just said "feed me", like I'm an animal, didn't you?
You're hearing things.
Why all these cans?
Who cares? I like them.
I'm not going to give you any if you complain.
Right.
I bet you can't cook.
Th-That's not it!
Now stop complaining and eat!
I'm going to take a shower.
Right.
Hm?
You're cinders if you try to peek.
The other one isn't even a noble.
She's the little sister of a traitor.
I won't forgive her...
No one wants to room with me.
It's nothing.
What's wrong?!
Kamito...
Help me...
Kamito...
Don't look.
Jerk.
Not there...
Wait! You're a fire spirit.
You won't be able to handle this.
Wild water spirit, I command thee to calm thyself.
Claire, grab my hand!
Kamito...
What happened?
An elementaler like you shouldn't have had any problems...
I was taking a shower and this water spirit suddenly went wild, and I...
This has never happened before...
I guess the Spirit Authority screwed up.
It's okay now, though.
Thanks.
Huh?
Wait! Calm down!
Shut up!
I-I'm burning you to cinders!
You pervert!
Lewd beast!
Seconds.
Huh?
You sure eat a lot.
Shut up, panty thief!
I told you, I—
Well, your cooking is good, admittedly.
I just put some of that canned food together.
It would have been better if I had some soy sauce.
What's that? Some sort of food?
It's a sauce we used back at home.
I don't think we can't get it anywhere.
Back home...
Oh, yeah.
Why do you want such a strong spirit?
There's someone I want to see again...
Someone you want to see?
I guess I shouldn't hide it from you.
The Lion of Fire?
The crest of the Dukery of Elstein?
The Dukery of Elstein? They're incredibly famous!
Were famous, anyway.
Until four years ago, that is.
Rubia Elstein, huh?
Wait, could you be...
That's right.
I'm her little sister.
The Calamity Queen, Rubia Elstein's sister.
I want to see her again.
I want to hear what really happened.
That's why I need to get stronger.
Rubia Elstein.
The spirit princess, or the "calamity princess", who caused
Ordesia Empire to undergo an unparalleled disaster.
So, she rid herself of the Elstein name, huh?
I've spent these last
three years trying to get someone important to me back.
I guess we're similar after all.
An astral gate?
That's right.
A gate which connects this world and Astral Zero.
It's the reason why the school was built all the way out here.
We're going to fight in Astral Zero?
It's fine. There's only low level spirits on the other end of the gate.
The school wouldn't just leave this here otherwise.
Even if we're hurt here, it won't cause any serious damage.
That's why it's often used for duels.
Yeah, but it'll cause equal amounts of mental damage, won't it?
If you're not careful, you might not recover.
I know that.
Can we win?
There's a reason why Ellis is the leader of the knights,
but if I can't win a battle like this,
I won't stand a chance in the Blade Dance.
The Blade Dance...
Oh yeah.
Ren Ashbell is supposedly going to participate in the next Blade Dance.
What's wrong?
No, nothing.
I watched her Blade Dance three years ago, from the stands.
In that moment,
I wanted to become a strong, brilliant elementaler just like her.
Ever since then, I've looked up to her.
Also, Ren Ashbell's Blade Dance to the lords
helped to fix the disaster my sister caused.
Not only do I look up to her, but I also owe her.
You're late, Claire.
A water spirit got me in the shower.
In the shower?
Did something happen?
Forget about it!
Why are you blushing?
I'm not!
A water spirit only showed up in her room?
Then the Spirit Authority wasn't at fault?
Where's Ellis and the others?
Looks like you're here, Raven Class.
Ellis!
How long have you been there?
Were you guys waiting to make a cool entrance, or something?
Th-That's not it!
We just got here!
Yeah!
It's not like we hurried here ahead of you guys.
Digging a deeper hole.
Can't they just act normal?
We're ending this duel before sunrise!
Your sword spirit is best with close-range attacks.
I'll be supporting you from mid-range.
I'll support you from the rear.
Got it.
Kamito Kazehaya, allow me to introduce you to
my contracted spirit.
The demonic wind spirit, Simorgh!
I'll be knocked out in an instant if I get hit by that.
What are you doing?!
Put up your elemental waffe already!
Solemn queen of steel,
that which destroys demons,
become my iron blade,
and give me power!
Huh?
That's the sword spirit's elemental waffe?!
It's been three years since I've used a contracted spirit.
I'm not really used to it yet.
No way!
You tamed it so easily...
To be honest, I'm not sure why I was able to contract with it, myself.
What are you saying?
Well, that's not it.
I bet it's because I feel bad for it.
Above you!
That's fast!
No, the elementaler is just that skilled, huh?
You're just going to run, Kamito Kazehaya?
I'm disappointed.
Kamito, I'll back you up!
I won't let you get in her way!
Claire!
Don't run!
Fight properly, Male Elementalist!
I need to do something about her before I can get to Ellis.
Rock Breaker!
That was a nice shot.
You're supposed to be backup.
Why are you making yourself stick out like a sore thumb?
Naturally, I need to position myself higher than Claire.
Way to go, Young Miss!
You need to move around if you're going to shoot arrows like that!
You're not taking this seriously, Raven Class.
That makes a nice target.
Fangs that bestow frost,
pierce!
Freezing arrow!
Young Miss!
Rinslet!
Claire!
Don't worry about me,
get to Ellis!
Got it!
Ellis!
That's a pretty flimsy elemental waffe.
Simorgh!
Wicked wind,
become the lance which will pierce my enemies,
and appear in my hand!
This is my elemental waffe,
Ray Hawk!
Beautiful...
So, you recognize its beauty, as well?
Don't be silly, I meant you.
H-How are dare you!
No, I really thought you were—
An elemental waffe that can create a blade of wind.
How indecent! I'm won't let you get away!
I'm going to turn you into tiramisu!
Freezing Arrow!
Hell Blaze!
Why are you getting in my way?!
Try not to get in my way next time!
Those guys...
I'm going to make you regret what you said!
Wait, Ellis!
Don't try and beg!
No. Something's wrong.
This presence...
What is it?
What's that?
That's a...
It can't be...
A demon spirit!
What do you mean?!
I missed you, Kamito.
But, you're still not the real you...
So, I'll help you remember.
Preview
You're supposed to be my contracted spirit!
It's insensitive to ask a girl too many questions.
That's a demon spirit!
Even though you're strong, you didn't do anything earlier...
The Holy Sword that Killed the Demon Lord
You're not the real you yet.
