Wistoria: Wand and Sword (2024) s01e02 Episode Script
As Though Undaunted
1
5 YEARS AGO
I heard that he couldn't use magic.
WILL SERFORT (10 YEARS OLD)
I've never heard of
someone like him before.
Why did they let him enroll
in the Magical Academy?
Apparently, he was used as bait to
bring Lady Elfaria to the Academy.
Then, there's no need for him
here anymore, is there?
Since Lady Elfaria is now a Magia Vander.
They'll kick him out now, I'm sure.

CALDRON JANOUB
All right, Workner.
I'll approve his enrollment.
Are you sure about this?
Will can't use magic.
Yes, but it's fun.
To see a sword yearn for the wand.
Can I climb the Tower if I study
at this academy?
If I become strong enough,
will I be able to reach Elfie?
You need to work hard
and have an undaunted will.
Or
My bad.
But it's your fault for not
looking after him.
The sword is yearning for the wand?
I wonder what will happen now.
FAMILIAR
KIKI
Climbing the Tower means
advancing to the Upper Institute.
From the topmost floor of Mercedes Caulis,
to become one of the Magia Vanders,
you must be accepted into the highest
seat of learning, the Upper Institute.
There are two methods of advancing.
First, invent a new type of magic.
Second, earn 7,200 or more credits
at this academy.
Only a few of the students manage
to accomplish the former.
Because of that, most students
only focus on the latter.
But
Far from advancing to the Upper Institute,
you are hardly good enough to graduate!
Today, I'm going to give you
plenty of remedial lessons!
It seemed Professor Workner's
remedial class was intense.
6TH-YEAR STUDENT OF THE RIGARDEN
MAGICAL ACADEMY COLETTE LOIRE
Yeah.
From continuous practice tests
to magic drills.
Even though you've earned
every writing credit.
Professor Workner is really strict.
Well, I'm hopeless at spellwork.
Just because I'm a no-talent
doesn't mean I should give up.
Professor Workner is actually
quite kind to offer remedial classes.
Most professors
wouldn't bother to do that.
You're right.
Especially Professor Edward.
I can't see him giving remedial classes.
I'm telling you!
Sion defeated an Evil Sentinel!
A ten-credit monster?
On his own? Really?
6TH-YEAR STUDENT OF THE RIGARDEN
MAGICAL ACADEMY GORDON VALLEY
Yeah! It beat us right away.
6TH-YEAR STUDENT OF THE RIGARDEN
MAGICAL ACADEMY LYRIL MARS
But when we woke up,
Sion had already killed it!
This would boost Sion's evaluation.
Maybe he will reach the top three soon.
As expected of Sir Sion!
6TH-YEAR STUDENT OF THE RIGARDEN
MAGICAL ACADEMY SION ULSTER
It wasn't me.
The truth is
Are you messing with me?
You're just a no-talent!
Hey, Sion! You're doing this again?
What are you up to exactly?
Hey! Sion?
What is wrong with him?
Did something happen between you and Sion?
Yeah.
Just a bit.
We have to expel Will Serfort,
Headmistress Caldron!
What is going on all of a sudden?
Edward.
PROFESSOR OF THE RIGARDEN MAGICAL ACADEMY
EDWARD SERFENCE
Will is in his sixth and final year.
We can't expel him now.
But he's a warrior, not a mage!
He has no place here!
Someone who can't use magic
but wants to surpass mages
Will Serfort.
He consistently earns
top scores in writing.
He also offers fascinating insights
in his reports.
If only we could ignore the fact
that he can't use magic,
he's almost too good to be true.
Other than becoming a Magia Vander,
he could be an artificer or a healer.
His possibilities are limitless.
This Academy's duty is to produce people
of learning for the Fated Day.
The problem is he wants to be
a Magia Vander, not a person of learning.
Yes, that is indeed the problem.
In that case, Edward
Test him.
Do it yourself, now that you've
learned the truth about Will.
If he can't pass your test,
then I will leave his fate up to you.
Are you sure?
I'm not soft like Workner.
I don't mind.
I leave the content of the test to you.
Test him as you wish
and judge him for yourself.
The man who knows about the Magia Vander
more than anyone, Dark Vipermage.
I'm sorry, Colette.
You had to do this for me
because I can't use magic.
It's okay.
You're still going at it, huh?
I couldn't get permission to
use a sword in the Academy,
and once I went back to the dorm,
my roommate wouldn't let me go.
Rosti, was it?
You two must be very close.
It's normal, I guess.
STUDY HALL
The Battle of Garzaronso broke out
in the year 344 of the Magical Era.
The cause was dissatisfied Dwarves
from another world overworked,
as well as the favoritism
towards the Elves,
and as such they raised an army.
-In response, the Tower
-Will, you already learned about this.
I'm learning from the others'
perspectives today.
You're already doing better
than me in writing.
There's no need to
push yourself that hard.
If I fall short of one credit,
I can't make it to the Upper Institute.
Besides
I can relate to the Dwarves' feelings.
The Battle of Garzaronso.
They marched on against strong mages.
"Don't ever give up."
That's more powerful than any magic.
Did Professor Workner teach you that?
Yeah. It's one of my favorite words.
That's why I have to keep working hard.
Will, you have a white strand of hair.
I knew it! You're overworking yourself!
Shall I pluck it out for you?
You don't need to.
But I want to do it!
-Let me do it!
-Why?
What's with all this ruckus?
Professor Edward?
We're sorry! We were just studying.
Serfort.
Come alone to Spellhall now.
RIGARDEN MAGICAL ACADEMY
SPELLHALL
I can't bear to see you keep
failing at spellwork,
so I'm offering a remedial class.
You should thank me.
A remedial class from you?
And just for me?
Indeed.
I will go to see what you are
really made of.
Your task is to land
a single attack on me.
You do not have the right to refuse.
If you succeed, I will award you
five spellwork credits.
But if you fail, you will be expelled.
Expelled?
A no-talent has no right to even look
upon the Magia Vander.
I've given you a reason to fight.
Let's begin.
WIND WAND
CRYSTAL BALL
WORKNER NORGRAM
RACE: RESANS
DARK SERPENT WAND
EDWARD SELFENS
RACE: RESANS
You summoned me, Headmistress?
Sorry to trouble you, Workner.
It's fine.
So, what do you need from me?
I thought you should know about this.
Claire Molda.
Will? And Ed?
Wait just a moment! What's going on here?
Workner.
Edward is now testing him,
and I forbid you to stop it.
Just as I granted your request
to watch over Will,
I've decided to grant Edward's request,
that's only fair, right?
He wants to see if Will really has
what it takes to reach Magia Vander.
This is ridiculous.
Why would you let Professor Edward
out of all people?
That is just too cruel.
Why is that?
You already know, don't you?
He was the man who almost
became a Magia Vander.
He may have failed, but he's an Ascendant
who made it to the top of the Tower!
Dax Darbicans.
Dax Darbicans. Low-level black magic.
And yet, his spells are so strong.
Darge.
His defense is so tough as well.
Trying to kick a magical shield?
How utterly hopeless.
He's not even using an incantation.
His casting is way too fast.
I can't find a single opening.
I can't even scratch him.
He's too strong.
Just two, Serfort.
I will use a spell to burn you,
and a spell to shield me
from your crude attacks.
Magical doctrine number 27.
If you cannot learn one thousand spells,
then master one instead.
That one spell will become
a thousand arrows in your quiver.
Multicasting a single spell
He's using an Overlapping Series?
It's a Dax Darbicans barrage!
Get lost, no-talent.
I can't win.
So this is a first-class mage.
If only I had my sword
I hope Will is okay.
A remedial class alone with
that Professor Edward
What if he's getting whipped or tortured?
-No!
-What a nice scream you have!
Kiki! Where did you get those wounds?
That is Will's
Did something happen to Will?
It goes without saying,
the Magia Vander is the pinnacle of mages.
If you can't surpass me,
you won't be able to reach it.
A little quiz on the Battle of Garzaronso.
Those foolish Dwarves rose with
an army of ten thousand.
Now tell me, how many mages
did it take to put them down?
Just one!
Ten thousand soldiers were
annihilated by a single wand!
That is how the world works!
The wand is mightier than the sword!
Always!
Throw away your foolish ambitions.
Even so
Even so, I
I still want to reach Magia Vander!
What could possibly drive you this far?
Do you have some noble cause
or something like that?
I want to be with the girl I love!
I want to keep my promise to Elfie!
Ridiculous.
Unreasonable! Indecent! Impure!
You strive for the pinnacle of all magic
because of some ridiculous reason?
It might sound ridiculous to you
No matter how tough it is to get there
Have some shame!
Even so, I'm going to go see
the sunset with Elfie!
Will!
Thank you!
Yes!
A heretic with a sword instead of a wand
Begone!
He cut my magic?
Moria sword, huh?
But
Here it comes! Another barrage of attacks!
I'm scared. I'm really scared.
I'll get burned again,
with a barrage of a thousand flames.
I can't stop shaking.
So this is the wall of the Magia Vander.
If I can, I just want to escape from here!
But this is the only way forward!
This is your end!
Will!
There's more to the story of
the Battle of Garzaronso.
Despite witnessing his fellow soldiers
falling all around him,
Gareth, the brave Dwarven General,
still managed to land a single blow.
He made the mage acknowledge
his courage and prowess.
That's right.
The sword was equal to the wand!
I award Will Serfort five credits.
Will!
Will, are you okay?
Well done!
Diving into the barrage on purpose
and struck him from the blind spot.
Yes, with an attack powerful enough
to shatter a magical shield, too.
A sword thrust that is capable of
surpassing magic.
Truly an undaunted will.
OUTSKIRTS OF THE MAGICAL ACADEMY DORMITORY
Finish it off with a lot of love.
And it's complete!
Will is late.
I can't wait for him to get back.
