This person... ---- is an amazing... Magical user...!! He played a melody on his violin... and with... that beautiful performance... he made that raging "Hammerbolt" Bruton... ---- Forgive me, forgive me... I... change that much... Into a weird maiden, by Beethoven's "Für Elise"... I, truly, somehow did those things... That's wrong, Bruton... A... ah But I, I have been reborn... Is, is that so? (That's nice and all...) just like a beautiful butterfly... Wait... please... stop... ---- Hey... look at the beautyfied Bruton... <3 EEEEEK, HEEEEEELP What!? This song is This melody, overflowing with sweetness is... Aah, my heart feels so warm... like it's being beautifully set free... My soul is being washed... Like I'm being reborn... Gasp!! ---- UGH!! Round eyes... Burly, strong nose... Receeding hairline down to his forehead... beard... I didn't know... That this person was... just so, so amazingly......... Beautiful... (translator note: GOD THIS IS HORRIBLE) ---- May I have... this dance... (literally "let's dance a dance") Oh, my I... don't really know how to dance... I will guide you... Fufufu... aren't you a skilled lead Beau... ti... ful.... <3<3 STOP IT!! ---- WHAT ARE YOU DOING, SHCHEL!! SNAP OUT OF IT AT ONCE!! HAH... WHAT THE HELL WAS I...!? You were being manipulated by the song!! Aaahn... and we were so cloooose~~<3 (mutter mutter) This just now was called Beethoven's Romance #2 in F major... WAAAAH, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!! I wanted to witness the romance between... A pure and innocent young boy and an ugly giant of a man. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!! ---- Ff... I actually LOVE MAKING IDIOTS OUT OF PEOPLE... MORE... THAN ANYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE!! You take pride in that...!! Uuuh, he did actually save me, but... in such a disgusting manner... (bg: whisper whisper) Waaah, I swear I don't have this kind of hobby!! I'M NORMAL!! (Awful, isn't he? This kid...) All that explaining is pretty suspicious... Why are you joining them? You------!! ---- Uugh... for helping me once, Thank you very much Shchel, you don't have to thank the likes of this brat!! WHAT!! This idiot will only cause you problems There's no mistake, since I, Shchel's supervisor, say so! WHAT DID YOU SAY, INSECT! I'LL PLAY THE REQUIEM OF DEATH FOR YOU!! INSECT!? I'LL CHOP YOUR NOSE OFF WITH THESE SCISSORS!! STOP, YOU TWO!! (Waah!) ---- Tch! To think I helped you because I thought... you were going to the School of Magic... Eh!? Wha, wha... What did you say! (Piroro: wait...) A school that teaches magic! In Sforzando... Didn't you know... That teaches magic!? Amazing... that such a school would exist... As expected from the kingdom of magic!! Shchel...!! Since today is the entrance exam, I thought You were also going for sure... Eh!? Today!? ---- Me, me too... Could I get in? Yeah, since there are no restrictions of age or occupation... There are lots of people, too... REALLY!? WE DID IT!! I wanted to be a magic user... didn't know how to, but tried coming to Sforzando anyway... To find there was such a school-- WHAT GREAT LUCK, PIRORO!! You really did it! Shchel!! You're really a brainless simple idiot (that's the only explanation...) What's your problem? It's called purity!! This is surely the Great Fairy-Sama's guidance! ---- DESTINY CAN BE CHANGED!! It was chance, you know. Chance... ---- This... destiny thing Is bothersome... ......... Tha, that's right... you're also matriculating, aren't you! That magic from before...! It was amazing... It's not magic... ---- It's called magical music (makyoku)! If you play a song... on a magical instrument... and you have magical blood or an innate magical ability... you can control the thoughts inserted... in that song... The composers of such songs have put... numerous feelings... in their creation... (Piroro: Feel...ings?) ---- The highest level of magical musicians can creat shape out of raw power using a beautiful performance... My uncle, for example, by playing Stravinsky's "Firebird"... can take flight on a Phoenix's back... And when his wife plays Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"... 9 Valkyries come flying about......... Phoenix! Valkyries!? ---- Amazing, isn't it... your lineage...!! On the contrary... they're just troublesome... This person... though he can do such amazing things... he somehow......... looks bored... (sfx: GATAN) Wah!! ---- Arrival in Sforzando Station!! Last station in the line! We've arrived My name is Great (Gureeto) Nice to meet you... I'm Shchel... This is Piroro Nice to meet you! Shchel! Ignore this guy! ---- Those interested in entering the School of Magic Please stand on this line!! (board: Sforzando's school of magic: meeting place (or assembly hall)) Wha-- So many people! Th... this many... Can they all get in! ---- Moreover, everyone somehow... seems in the really strong side... Besides... ---- Such huge gates... It doesn't look like a school building More like a prison... Hahaha... the guy who said that SHOULD JUST GO HOME! UWAAH (sfx: glare) Kukuku Uh, uh... Excuse me, the 10 people over there... please line up and register Eh? Y... Yes (names: Gust... [Gustav], Shchel K...
