A Duel Ill-Advised
[dramatic music plays]
Now then, the duel will begin the moment
this hand mirror shatters on the ground.
Ready…
Off With Your Head.
[exclaims]
No way.
[both grunt]
[gasps]
[shrieks]
Ace. Deuce.
[scoffs] It didn't even take five seconds.

A DUEL ILL-ADVISED
The duel has ended.
The victory belongs to
current Housewarden, Riddle Rosehearts.
[students murmuring]
-[student 1] I knew it…
-[student 2] Yo, for real?
Darn it!
I didn't even have a chance to attack!
I can't believe I couldn't do a thing…
His spell-casting speed is too fast.
He's on a completely different level.
The power of one's imagination
determines the strength of one's magic.
The more clearly one can visualize
the effects of the magic,
the more accurate and powerful it becomes.
It would appear Mr. Rosehearts
has been honing his magical skills.
To dare challenge me
with that level of skill…
Aren't you ashamed?
[breathing shakily]
Well, fools who disregard the rules
are mediocre to begin with.
Anyone who violates the rules
will never find success.
I knew my mother was right.
Just what sort of upbringing did you have?
At best, you were most likely born
from parents with very low magical skills,
and had never received a proper education
until you entered this school.
[breathing shakily]
My word.
It's so pitiful.
You! [grunts]
Shut your dumb mouth!
-Wha…
-[both exclaiming]
-[both exclaim]
-Hmm?
[grunting]
Eh?
-Riddle!
-Riddle.
[Ace] Ah, I've had enough.
Dueling with Riddle and all that stuff…
Who cares?
So what about my parents?
What does that have to do
with any of this?
Kids aren't trophies
for parents to brag about.
And what a kid can do
doesn't determine their parents' worth!
[gasps]
[Ace] I just realized it's not
your parents' or anyone's fault
you're such a brat.
It's because you've been at this school
for a whole year
and couldn't even make one single friend
who'd stop your tyranny.
It's your own fault!
[gasps]
What… did you say?
Trey told me.
About your past.
[gasps]
[Ace] Yeah, maybe you had
some rigid upbringing
from a relentless helicopter mom.
But going around saying
"Mama this" and "Mama that"
proves you're not even
thinking for yourself!
You're just a baby
who happens to be good at magic!
[gasps]
[mother] Happy eighth birthday, Riddle.
This is a lecithin-rich, low-sugar cake
that will improve your cerebral function.
Thank you, Mother.
But… Um, I…
I'd really like to eat a tart topped with
plenty of red strawberries, just once.
-My… How can you say such a thing?
-[gasps]
A single slice of
that sugar-laden poison has
more than the daily recommended
amount of sugar.
You are not to eat such a thing.
Understand?
Yes, Mother.
Well? Have you finished?
Yes, Mother.
[mother] Then use the hour before
your Potionology class to self-study.
-Yes, Mother.
-[footsteps departing]
[door opens, closes]
Yes,
Mother.
[mother] How could you?
I can't believe
you not only ignored your schedule,
but you even went out
and ate that sugar-laden poison.
So it was those two who led you astray?
[gasps] I'm sorry, Mother!
I won't do it again!
Forgive me!
[mother] It seems allowing you
some free time is simply too much for you.
-[exclaims]
-I must keep a closer eye on you.
[young Riddle] Mother!
I'm so sorry, Mother!
You called me…
a baby? Me?
A baby…
When you put it that way…
[whispering] Don't know anything…
[straining] You don't know anything…
-You don't know a thing about me!
-[all exclaim]
Yeah, I don't.
How would I?
Quit acting like a spoiled brat.
[breathes shakily] Shut up!
Shut up, shut up! Shut your mouth!
My mother is never wrong!
So I'd never be wrong either!
[gasps]
[exclaims]
[exclaims, gasps]
The new kid is right.
These rules don't make any sense.
I'm so sick of them!
I've had enough of you
throwing your weight around
just because you're
a little stronger than us!
[stammers] What's going on?
Their attitudes completely changed.
I suppose this is
what they were truly feeling all along.
[exclaims]
[grunts]
[both exclaim]
I'm not going to listen to you anymore!
-Me neither! Give me back my freedom.
-[grunts]
[grunts]
Let me eat what I want!
Don't make us sing stupid songs!
[clamoring]
I won't follow your orders anymore!
Who cares how many sugar cubes I use?
So what if I want
to drink lemonade at night?
Why do we need to have
an unbirthday party?
Meeting notes must be written in blue ink?
How stupid!
[clamoring continues]
-[student 3] Enough with the rules!
-[student 4] Who cares!
[breathing shakily]
[stammers] Hey.
Enough, everyone.
What should we do?
I can't stand it anymore!
Step down, you tyrant!
-[Yuken] Stop!
-[students gasp]
Shame on you!
How dare you heckle
and even throw things at a duelist?
If you'll continue being so rude,
I, Yuken Enma, will take you on!
[exclaiming]
[murmuring]
[sniffs]
Are you okay?
[breathes shakily, growling]
[exclaims]
-Riddle?
-Riddle!
[Riddle] Who?
-Who threw that egg at me?
-[students whimper]
Who was it?
-You?
-[gasps]
-You? Or you?
-[students gasp]
[Riddle] Fine.
If no one will take responsibility…
you will all be punished!
-Off With Your Head!
-[students clamoring]
[laughing]
Off With Your Head!
[students screaming]
How's that?
[screaming]
Look. Not a single one of you can stop me.
-[students whimpering]
-I knew I was right to live by the rules!
Cease this at once, Mr. Rosehearts.
You would not be acting this way
if you truly abided by the rules.
Trey, this is real bad.
If he keeps using magic like that…
[breathes shakily]
[screams]
We need to get out of here
or he'll come after us too.
But…
There seems to be
something wrong with him.
I have a bad feeling about this…
[laughing]
[ominous music plays]
[Ace] Hey, you!
Things don't always go your way, you know.
I called you a baby 'cause you throw
a tantrum every time something goes wrong!
[dramatic music plays]
What did you say?
[all gasping]
[gasps] What's that black liquid?
[exclaims] That is…
It cannot be…
blot?
Take back…
Take back your words right this instant!
Do you want to be impaled to pieces?
No way.
I'm never taking them back!
[growling]
[rumbling]
What's happening?
[both gasp]
[growling]
-This is seriously bad, Trey.
-[gasping]
[stammers] You must be kidding me.
Just as you wished,
-I shall impale you.
-[both exclaim]
[Yuken] Ace! Get away from there!
Oh, rose trees.
-Turn his body into tiny pieces!
-[staff chimes]
[gasps]
Paint the Roses.
[exclaims]
[all exclaiming]
[tense music plays]
[breathes shakily]
[exclaims]
[gasps, exclaims, sighs]
[exclaims]
The collar is gone?
How is this happening?
My magic, Paint the Roses,
can overwrite any type of magic
for a short while.
So I painted over Riddle's magic
with mine.
[gasps]
[breathing shakily]
[Trey] But what I really
should've painted over was…
the me who couldn't stop you back then.
Your response should be,
"Yes, Housewarden."
[students] Yes, Housewarden!
-But…
-That's why I told him that time…
-Looks like your heads want to come off.
-[students] Eh?
[Trey] No.
Even long before that.
I should've painted over the me
from when we first met.
[grunting]
Hey, what are we gonna do?
Hmm?
Huh?
-[exclaims]
-Hmm?
[knocks on window]
Huh? [sighs]
[knocking continues]
[young Riddle] What's making that sound?
A bird?
[sighs, exclaims]
[exclaims] He opened the window.
Huh?
[poignant music plays]
-Let's go play!
-[exclaims]
Who are you guys?
Hey, why don't you come out for a bit?
Eh? [stammers] I can't.
It's my self-study time.
But you get to decide
what you wanna study for self-study.
Eh?
Gramps said playing
is also studying. Meow.
But…
[sighs]
If it's just for a little bit…
[young Trey] So what's your name?
Eh? Riddle.
Riddle Rosehearts.
I'm Chenya.
I'm Trey. [grunts]
[gasps]
[breathes shakily]
[breathes shakily]
[both breathing shakily]
[young Riddle] Wait for me!
-[young Riddle panting]
-[giggling]
-[exclaims]
-Come on, Riddle. Let's go.
[chuckles] Okay.
-[young Trey] All right.
-[young Chenya chuckles]
[giggling]
-[young Riddle screaming]
-[giggling]
Eh, really, Riddle?
Yeah…
You've never had a strawberry tart?
Yeah.
Mother said it's too unhealthy.
Well, of course it's not good
to eat too much of it, but…
[young Riddle] Yeah.
Riddle, um…
Hmm?
My family runs a bakery.
So let's go eat one now.
Eh?
Eh?
[door opens]
[young Trey] I'm back.
Wow…
Wow…
Come on. It's this way.
Eh?
Wow!
A bright red strawberry tart
sitting on a pure white plate.
In my eyes,
it was shining brighter than any jewel.
Go ahead and eat it.
Okay.
[exclaims, gasps]
[breathes shakily]
[giggles]
[chuckles]
[breathing shakily]
Riddle. Stop, that's enough!
I see…
Even you…
Even you have betrayed me.
[gasps]
Even though…
I've always followed the rules,
and I've always controlled my desires.
Despite all that…
[ominous music plays]
…I…
I'm…
-I'm the one…
-Riddle?
No! You must not use any more magic!
…who is absolutely right!
[exclaims]
[whimpering]
[screaming]
Riddle!
[screaming continues]
[creature] Off…
Off with their heads…
Off… Off…
Off!
[dramatic music plays]
[stammers] Housewarden?
-He transformed!
-[clamors]
Is it some sort of transformation magic?
[exclaims]
[Riddle sighs]
[distorted] This feels amazing.
My power keeps growing and growing.
Riddle!
[Riddle distorted] Trey.
Will you still try to stop me?
I have no need for disobedient fools
in my world.
For I am the law in my world.
I create the rules of my world!
-[rumbling]
-[all exclaim]
What's that?
[both exclaiming]
-[gasps]
-[laughing]
That's…
[growls]
[creature roars]
What is that thing?
-A monster born from the blot.
-[all gasp]
To think I allowed a student
to Overblot in my presence…
Over… blot?
What does that mean?
[Headmage] It is a condition
magicians must avoid at all cost.
Magicians accumulate
negative energy known as blot
in their magestones when they use magic.
However, excessive use of magic
will cause their magestone to rupture.
The excess blot then overflows
and corrodes the magician
with negative energy,
causing them to lose control of
their emotions and magic,
resulting in the magician's rampage.
[both gasp]
[Headmage] That is
what the Overblot condition is.
Off…
with all of your heads.
[theme song playing]
[song ends]
[Idia groans]
[Ortho] What are you looking at, Idia?
-[Idia] This, this.
-[Ortho] Ah, this is…
[Idia] A kitty cat.
I wanna huff that cat.
[Ortho] Get a grip, Idia.
That isn't a cat, you know.
That's Grim.
I wanna huff that cat Grim. [blows]
[Ortho] I think it's better if you don't.
It went on a rampage
during the entrance ceremony
and caused so much trouble.
[Idia] But that fluffiness,
I just wanna sniff it.
[Ortho] If you want to huff the cat that
badly, why don't you go to a cat café?
[Idia] I can't possibly go outside.
This sucks.
Ah, I'll just make one.
A household item where
I can enjoy all the fluffiness I want.
[Ortho] Make one?
Ortho, I'm counting on you
to procure the materials.
[Ortho] Eh? What do you need?
-[Idia] Fluffiness.
-[Ortho] Eh?
[Idia] I need something fluffy.
Something with fluff.
[Ortho] What am I supposed to get
and from where?
[beeping]
-[cheerful music plays]
-It's finally finished.
I installed a fluffy module that utilizes
the suction power of the wind
to create the fluffiest texture.
I've also successfully minimized
the inevitable decrease in fluffiness
you experience
when you place your face
against the cat to huff it.
Its name is…
"Super Type Zero Electromagnetic
Fluff-Huff Machine Beta."
[Ortho groans]
[Idia inhales deeply]
Wait, was this what I wanted?
I don't think so.
[Ortho] Right?
Now then, the duel will begin the moment
this hand mirror shatters on the ground.
Ready…
Off With Your Head.
[exclaims]
No way.
[both grunt]
[gasps]
[shrieks]
Ace. Deuce.
[scoffs] It didn't even take five seconds.

Ah, I'll just make one.
A household item where
I can enjoy all the fluffiness I want.
[Ortho] Make one?
Ortho, I'm counting on you
to procure the materials.
[Ortho] Eh? What do you need?
-[Idia] Fluffiness.
-[Ortho] Eh?
[Idia] I need something fluffy.
Something with fluff.
[Ortho] What am I supposed to get
and from where?
[beeping]
-[cheerful music plays]
-It's finally finished.
I installed a fluffy module that utilizes
the suction power of the wind
to create the fluffiest texture.
I've also successfully minimized
the inevitable decrease in fluffiness
you experience
when you place your face
against the cat to huff it.
Its name is…
"Super Type Zero Electromagnetic
Fluff-Huff Machine Beta."
[Ortho groans]
[Idia inhales deeply]
Wait, was this what I wanted?
I don't think so.
[Ortho] Right?
