Enemy above! 12 o'clock high!
Incoming multiple smaller hostiles, Archenar class and below!
Should we fall back?
No! They'll trace us back to Mystogan!
Are you okay, Yuri?
Th-Thank you, Kanata!
I have a clear line of fire.
I've got your back.
Enemy reinforcements incoming!
Looks like the last batch were just scouts...
Chloe!
Kanata!
Kanata?!
I'm fine. I'll lure them out, the rest of you fall back.
Kanata...
Come on now...
Time for a fun game of tag!
Did you get out safely?
Chloe, Lloyd, and...
...Yuri...
"Sky Wizards Academy"
"Fireteam E601"
It is here, in the giant floating academic city of Mystogan,
that I spend my days as student of the Sky Wizards division.
But this is merely a disguise.
The ugly pedestrians fuel their spite with jealousy towards my beauty.
To demand that I, goddess incarnate,
submit a written apology for not doing homework?
I wish they would cut it out.
Um... Does she have issues with delusions or something?
Don't ask me.
But...
Rico Flamel, isn't she your...
Just read the rest.
On a different note, I currently reside in the E,
or bottom, rank of the Sky Wizards division.
Furthermore, due to my fireteam's rock-bottom performance,
people call us the F Rank Fireteam.
It is unfortunate that the general public believes wrongly
that a person like me is a failure.
In reality, I, a goddess, am the hero that will save the world.
The third resubmission for the written apology for skipping homework is rejected.
Reviewer's comment: "You are supposed to apologize for not doing your homework.
Perhaps you wanted a stage to flaunt your rotten personality,
but the second year in the Preparatory Department is not that.
I hereby assign a fourth resubmission."
Okay then... Next student. Lecty Eisenach.
I-I have a dream!
I want to be a Sky Wizard,
to protect the people of the floating cities by fighting the Devil Beetles!
Fighting the Devil Beetles is scary.
I shiver just by thinking about it.
B-But, being able to fight to protect someone, I think, will make me happy.
She seems very responsible!
The good kids die first. That's how it is with us Sky Wizards.
But...
The Naturals, those without magical powers,
lose the memory of those who are killed by the Devil Beetles.
But us, the Wizards, do not forget them.
Th-That's why I want to fight, for those who have lost even their grief!
Let's see! She always seems nervous and uneasy.
Her entrance exam results were not good.
We first considered rejecting her application.
However, her family is famous in the art of the magic twin swords,
and her sincere attitude could not be ignored.
We hope that her future as a Sky Wizard is bright.
The next girl is the last one, the fireteam leader.
Misora Whitale...
First year, first semester, practical exams, zero wins, 57 losses.
Follow-up exam, zero wins, ten losses.
Second semester, zero wins, 57 losses.
Currently on a 124 losing streak.
Summary: we recommend her to leave the school voluntarily.
Sh-She seems to have trouble ahead of her.
They are the three members of what is known as the weakest,
or worst, fireteam in history, Fireteam E601.
I wanted to ask for your help to do something about them.
I don't think a normal instructor can help them...
Let me remind you that I'm making this request to you, Chloe Sevegny,
as leader of the Sky Wizards division.
In other words, whomever I recommend will become the instructor?
They don't call you "Nirvana" for nothing.
I will make certain that your request gets through.
In that case...
Hey, there you are!
Oh, hey Lloyd.
What are you doing?
Here.
I checked the inventory in this warehouse
and compared it with what was on the list of materials.
I was wondering why the food list wasn't matching up.
Some Machina division goons were stealing them.
I gave them a bit of a beating.
W-Wait, you checked everything?
Took me all night.
All night...? It takes ten people three days...
Really?
So what do you want, anyway?
Oh, the Sky Wizards division lead wants to see you in her office, at lunchtime.
Hmm.
Next stop, Ground Station.
Seems like I'll make it in time for class.
Ow...
Hey, watch where you're going!
Where I'm going?
I wonder...
Wh-What?! You think I'm flat?!
Well, um, if you put it that way, yeah, but...
You're disgusting!
You can't even walk in a...
You ruined my toast! The strawberry jam side is down, too!
You owe me big time!
Normally when this type of thing happens,
doesn't the one with the soiled crotch get the apology?
What?
I snoozed a bit too long and got in too much of a rush,
couldn't finish my favorite jam toast,
and am really worried about being late for practice!
Do I really have to spell that out for you?
Was I supposed to read your mind?
Someone help! There's a pervert here! Someone! There's a...
He vanished.
Ugh, this red won't come off.
What is she doing?
Oh, did my beauty fascinate you?
I think it's normal to be drawn to eccentric behavior.
So in other words, you are...
a stalker.
You're weird.
It's not surprising that you find my actions inexplicable.
I am the reincarnation of a goddess.
Beautiful, am I not? But don't fall in love.
The only person allowed to be in love with this beauty, is me.
Maybe you should take time off from admiring yourself and spend it on training
Judging from your uniform, you're a Sky Wizards preparatory student, right?
Oh, but I hate bothersome activities, like those that involve sweating.
Effort is for ordinary...
Y-You pervert.
Even though my beauty is truly irresistible, how could you suddenly take your pants off?
Huh? They were off from the start.
You had your lower body revealed... from the start?
Someone! Someone come! There is a pervert here! Someone!
He vanished.
Did you hear? There's a pervert around.
Ew, gross.
Man, this sucks. Not once, but twice?
Um, excuse me...
Now what?
Um... this...
Huh?
--...is not... --What?
I mean, this... is not... um...
I can't hear you!
This...
This?
This is the girls' restroom.
Oh, um...
Are you... a pervert?
No!
I should not have taken the shortcut through the preparatory department field.
--What about this? --Oh, this?
Look, it's the traitor, taking his sweet time to show up.
Lucky him. Meanwhile, we put our lives on the line.
Fourth period is starting.
Yeah, stuff came up.
You can't even keep track of time. You really are a traitor.
What, are you still holding that grudge?
No, I stopped thinking about it.
Thinking about you at all is a waste of time.
So you really are holding the grudge.
--Kanata... --Come on, now.
Don't start fights with Kanata.
Let me go, Chloe!
I don't have a grudge, and I'm not starting a fight!
I'm just stating facts!
See? That's what I call holding a grudge.
I will take my leave!
Don't be like that. You know that'll make her angry.
I was hoping she'd get angrier.
What do you mean?
Yuri joined up because she longed to be with me. She must still be hurt.
She never was good at controlling her emotions.
She needs to vent every once in a while.
You could have explained it like that from the start.
I've never been able to fully understand you.
It's already been more than six months, huh?
Yuri was unconscious when it happened, so she didn't see it.
You were injured too.
The only ones that get injured in battle
are the ones who didn't have the skill to make it out unscathed, right?
Still, I feel responsible. So...
So?
I brought you a good deal!
When you smile like that, it's usually something troublesome.
What? No! I convinced the leader of the Sky Wizards division.
Come in.
Excuse me.
Traitor, you have some nerve, showing your face here.
I actually didn't want to come.
Anyway, I didn't summon you here for a lecture.
You want me to be an instructor?!
You'll be in charge of Fireteam E601.
You will teach these misfits so that they can meet the goal of this school:
to train Sky Wizards capable of pushing back the Devil Beetle threat.
Why me? There must be tons of others.
Everyone's booked for this season. Besides, I want you to do this.
What do you mean?
I know you're working hard when no one's looking.
Like helping out the Logistics division, and...
Yeah, yeah, okay, fine.
I'll read the document if that's what you want.
What the...? How is it possible to get such horrible scores?
Wait, is this...?
So, how should we train today?
Silly question. A goddess does not need training.
Rico! Are you going to disobey me, the fireteam leader?
Fireteam leader. Hah.
What? Speak clearly!
Um, actually...
Hmm? What is it, Lecty?
I, uh, um...
If there's something you want to say, be clear!
O-Okay! Well, there was this thing that happened this morning...
Hey, look!
Isn't that Kanata Age from the regular department?
Ew, I don't want his traitor germs on me!
Stay away!
--Hey. --Y-Yes?!
Where's the Fireteam E601 room?
E601?
The losers?
F-Rank Fireteam?
I bumped into this horrible pervert this morning...
Pervert?!
What a coincidence. I met one too; he was the ultimate pervert.
Me too! He had my jam toast on his crotch,
that nasty, despicable, strawberry jam pervert!
Incomprehensible. I am too noble to understand this commoner.
--What did you say? --Um, can you calm down?
Misora, Rico...
I'm Kanata Age.
I've been assigned to be your instructor, Fireteam E601.
Sky Wizards regular department second year, 17 years old.
Nice to meet you.
Kanata Age? The traitor!
Oh, no wonder I thought I heard that name before.
Do you know him?
He's the famous traitor! And a pervert on top of that!
Indeed. The genuine, perfect, outrageous pervert.
I-I knew it! You were a pervert!
Pervert!
Do any of you listen?
I'm Kanata Age.
I'll be using this part of every episode to instruct you about this world.
Our home, Mystogan, is the floating city focusing on training Sky Wizards.
Hovering at about 3000 meters above sea level, its population is about 6000.
90 percent of that are Wizards like us.
And like that, the next episode is "The Strongest Traitor."
"Next Episode" "'The Strongest Traitor'"
Oh, I didn't tell you?
