Sorry...
I'm so sorry!
I just told you not to apologise.
It doesn't suit you, Ms Dinosaur.
But it's all my fault...
that you got so battered and bruised!
You're the one who's battered and bruised.
We're going to take him down
and put an end to the Cannibal Candy episode!

Are you okay, Raishin?
I'm fine.
Forget about me and keep talking.
Okay.
I heard from Sigmund
that Charlotte's searching for the scattered remnants of her family.
Scattered?
The House of Count Belew was Britain's pride and joy due to their Machinart achievements.
They lived alongside many automatons, which they treated like their own kin.
But one day, the dog automaton that Charlotte was fond of
injured a boy of an extremely high status.
Due to that incident,
the Belews were stripped of their rank,
forced to forfeit their territory,
and the majority of their automatons were dismantled.
After that, Charlotte's parents and little sister went missing while she was away at boarding school.
Eventually, she was even thrown out of school.
The fact that her automaton caused her family to break up weighs heavily on her mind.
To this day, she's still overcome with guilt.
I get it now.
To restore her family to its former state, she's apparently been using her scholarship money
to buy back the "hearts" of her family members.
So that's why she got so mad at Cannibal Candy, huh?
She considers automatons to be more than mere puppets.
Yes.
Her dream is to reunite her family so they can all live together again.
Man, talk about unbelievable.
She wants to stand atop the Evening Party just to be reunited with her family?
If she's for real, that makes her a bigger fool than me!
We're going to take him down
and put an end to the Cannibal Candy episode!
Hold on, Raishin.
Cannibal Candy was Char all along!
You know,
she makes it a point not to kill her enemies, no matter how many she's facing.
Sigmund's attacks are difficult to control, so it must be a pain to ensure she doesn't kill anyone.
But she still shows concern for her opponents' lives, even when she's in danger herself.
There's absolutely no way someone like her could be Cannibal Candy!
Do you intend to oppose me?
Yeah.
Both you and Lisette over there.
Huh?
Hold your tongue and watch.
I'll destroy that ugly mask and let you see her face.
48 Whistling Thrusts!
Yes!
Calm down, Char.
But...
True, Lisette Norden was human up to a certain point...
But it seems she was murdered and replaced.
It's still just an iron mask, but this façade's much prettier.
What's your real name?
You're such a fool, Raishin.
I see no reason to answer your ques—
Butt out, Felix.
I'm talking to her.
Eliza.
Okay, Eliza.
Let me ask you something.
Could you stay out of this?
Tools don't get to decide who wields them.
In other words...
you're guilty of nothing here.
So stay out of this.
Save the sleep-talking for when you're dead, maggot.
Are you saying that of your own volition?
You seem to be misunderstanding.
Would you turn down a free meal?
Well, that's a load off my mind.
36 Fiery Thrusts!
Yes!
Water?
Wait, that spell...
I saw it the other day!
Yeah.
It's Undine's spell.
Can Cannibal Candy use the spells of automatons it's devoured?
You have such a simple combat style.
Using brute force to subdue your opponents is all well and good,
but...
Raishin!
See?
Your movements aren't as sharp as usual.
In your current state, you can't pull it off!
Raishin!
Stay focused!
24 Fiery Thrusts!
You don't have the knack for this, do you?
I won't let you lay a finger on Raishin!
Then how about this?
Who goes there?
Are we spectating too, Magnus?
How shameful.
Though I suppose I'm acting rather shameful myself.
Second Last is on the verge of death.
But it looks like he still has the energy to stand back up.
This fight's as good as over.
What?
Once its secrets are exposed,
magic becomes a mere party trick.
What do you mean?
He gave away too many clues.
If you do that, others will pick up on them sooner rather than later.
The same applies to your investigation.
I'll keep that in mind.
That's the Iron Baller's...
Don't tell me....
Can Cannibal Candy use multiple forms of magic?
That's impossible!
It'd violate the Theory of Magical Dissonance!
Stop!
This is bad.
Sigmund is in no state to fight!
Don't do this!
You'll die!
Don't you worry.
I'll finish this off in a flash.
Don't you want to take part in the Evening Party?
You won't be able to if you get mixed up with me!
You're not Cannibal Candy.
What's wrong with helping you out?
But there's no way to prove it.
You'll be branded as an accomplice!
It won't just be the academy coming after you.
This country, the Magicians' Association,
and the entire world will become your enemies!
Quit your whining!
If it comes down to that,
I'll gladly take on the entire world!
Raishin...
I'm amazed you can still bare your fangs at me.
You're every bit as good as I thought you were.
Let's make a deal, Raishin.
Promise to fight with me as my ally in the Evening Party,
and I'll overlook your current hostile actions.
I refuse.
Don't take long to make decisions, do you?
Become your underling?
I wouldn't do it even if my mother herself begged me.
Mothers should be treated with more respect, you know.
Unfortunately, mine's been six feet under for a while now.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Fare thee well, Raishin.
Give your mother my best regards!
48 Pinnacle Thrusts!
I knew it.
Why didn't you have her escape by liquefying?
You may have absorbed their magic circuits,
but you can't use them at the same time.
I bet you've been discarding circuits every time you changed types.
And you can't re-equip a circuit you've already discarded.
That's exactly why you needed to collect so many.
Am I wrong?
Splendid deduction!
Allow me to rescind the offer I just made.
You're too dangerous!
No way.
Did Eliza turn herself into mist?
That's no ordinary mist.
It's corroding the body.
At the start of this battle,
Eliza was capable of using forty-seven unique kinds of magic.
Magnificent as your magic may be,
it still relies on matter!
This is White Mist—
the spell I'd set aside to use against Magnus in the Evening Party!
Yaya.
Send it flying.
Enough of your pointless resistance!
Was that...
the bodily fluid of your automaton?!
Bingo.
The secret behind this trick is Yaya's blood.
I see.
With her body turned into mist, Eliza absorbed her enemy's blood—along with the magic imbued in it.
"Two kinds of magic cannot co-exist within one body."
That's Machinart's most fundamental rule—
the Theory of Magical Dissonance.
If two kinds of magic interfere with each other inside the body,
they won't be nearly as effective.
This was no mere coincidence.
Are you saying Raishin was aiming for this from the start?
Yaya getting wounded and taking that much damage must've been part of his plan.
Yaya's magic circuit is a simple one.
I have neither the talent
nor the brains that you guys have,
but I do have my partner—the best automaton in the world!
Pinnacle Thrust:
Body Breaker.
Eliza...
Don't just use my name so casually,
you shitty maggot.
Now then...
What do you think you're doing?
I'm the Kingsfort family's heir, you know?
If you lay a hand on me,
the royal family won't let you get away with it!
Wait. Hang on a second!
I said wait!
Forgive me, Yaya.
Why are you apologising?
It must've hurt.
I made you shed so much blood.
I intentionally brought you to harm.
I...
That can be fixed in no time!
I can never be truly broken.
It's always you that gets hurt!
Back then too—
Thanks.
My bad, Char.
You're the Great Tyrant Rex, yet I gave him your share of the beatdown without permission.
On your feet now, Ms Dinosaur.
Or are you too shaken to stand?
I-I'll do just that, you insolent fool!
I will...
but how about at least giving me a hand?
Amusing lad, isn't he? That Second Last.
When I handed him his report card,
he started asking me how to get into the Evening Party.
Isn't that laughable?
No.
If there is to be an upset,
he'll be the one to cause it.
Oh?
You, of all people, hold him in high regard?
What's that?
Something he gave me.
I can't say for sure what the contents are without analysing them,
but I think it's quite likely these are ashes.
Ashes?
Just like how throwing down the gauntlet is seen as a challenge to a duel,
it seems a certain clan in the Far East
has a custom of throwing ashes of the dead at the person upon whom they seek to exact revenge.
Are you his nemesis?
By the way, have you heard this rumour?
It goes, "Magnus' automatons are all Ban Dolls".
Nowhere in the Evening Party's rules does it say that the use of Ban Dolls is prohibited.
Can I take that as your answer?
Go ahead.
Good heavens, what a terrifying man.
I'm amazed he could create Ban Dolls at such a young age.
I wonder who he used for his ingredients.
We shall now begin the ceremony to confer entry qualifications
to Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart's "Walpurgis Night" festivities.
Raishin Akabane, come forth!
By the powers vested in me, Edward Rutherford,
I recognize you as a Wiseman candidate
and permit you to take part in the Walpurgis Night festivities.
Congratulations.
From this moment on, you're one of the Gauntleted too.
Become a puppeteer fit to wear them, and a fine example to every student here.
Sure.
Why is this such a lavish event?
The Headmaster pulled some strings.
Considering that stunt the Disciplinary Committee Chair pulled,
there's a growing undercurrent of doubt and suspicion in the academy.
He wants to divert the attention from that by celebrating you as a hero of sorts.
That looks good on you.
Now you're officially "Second Last".
Who the hell suggested this shitty codename?
Me, of course.
Don't be so upset.
It was thanks to my eyewitness testimony and Machinart analysis that you were proven innocent.
In a way, I'm your saviour.
Your audience is waiting.
Go embarrass yourself,
Mr Hero.
Thanks, fella!
Now we can have some peace of mind.
Oh, how the mighty Evening Party has fallen.
You're one of the Gauntleted now?
The world must be ending.
What's this?
Are you stupid?
It's a congratulatory gift, obviously!
Though it just happened to turn out that way,
objectively speaking, one could say that you saved me, so...
This is an amulet, right?
There are some runes engraved here, though I'm not sure what kind of spell it is.
It's defensive.
Suits your savage combat style, doesn't it?
Please accept it.
Char racked her brain so much over this, she actually matured.
Shut up or you'll be eating nothing but bread crumbs starting tomorrow!
Thanks, Char.
I'm sure you know this already, but when we come face-to-face in the Evening Party...
...we'll be enemies, right?
Indeed we will.
Sigmund and I will take you on with everything we've got.
I might end up holding back, though.
Wh-What the hell are you saying—
Not me!
I won't hold anything back!
But of course.
It'll be an all-out battle.
I won't let you have Raishin!
As his wife, I accept your challenge!
Hey, stop saying things that could cause misunderstandings!
