The Eminence in Shadow (2022) s01e08 Episode Script
Dark Knight Academy Under Attack
1
So, um
With all that in mind,
we of the Student Council are always working
to improve the lives of all of our students.
And we would like to ask all of you
to help us reach that end.
We will not ask for nominations of candidates.
As I just explained, this election will
follow the same pattern as
Here it comes!
We are Shadow Garden,
and we are taking over this academy.
They went there.
They seriously went there!
This is what every young boy in the world dreams of.
The glorious event that graces the first page
of our adolescent fantasies.
The glorious event that graces the first page
of our adolescent fantasies.
Don't stand, stay in your seats.
The glorious event that graces the first page
of our adolescent fantasies.
Hands where I can see them.
The dream of having your school attacked by terrorists!
Hands where I can see them.
The dream of having your school attacked by terrorists!
You don't seem to understand what kind of a place you've invaded.
They really, truly went there!
Take over an academy of Dark Knights?
They really, truly went there!
This is hardly the act of a sane person.
Infinite possibilities now lie before me!
Infinite possibilities now lie before me!
Drop your weapons.
Infinite possibilities now lie before me!
I refuse.
What do I do?
Then you'll make the perfect example.
What's my move?
Miss President?
My magic!
Magic obstruction!
A one-sided assault from the terrorist.
If they're following the stock formula
this beautifully, then
They can't kill her!
We've come too far for this!
Stop!
I can't let it happen!
Stop!
The first person in a class to be killed by a terrorist
is a role that always belongs to
a background character!
It's perfect
Kono subete ima kakete

#8 Dark Knight Academy Under Attack
Cid Kagenou
You idiot!
Why did you get in the way?
I'm dead
Of course, I understand now.
My sweet Cid, you
You cared for me.
You loved me enough to give your life for me.
We're going to the auditorium.
If you don't want to end up like him,
you'll come along without a fight.
Thank you
Cid Kagenou.
It worked:
Background Character Secret Technique -
Ten-Minute Death: Heartbreak.
I used magic to control the flow of my blood
so I could maintain regular bloodflow to my brain
even when my heartbeat stopped.
One wrong step and it's hello afterlife.
It's a high-risk move, but
As a background character,
there are times when I've gotta do what I've gotta do,
even if it could kill me.
Of course my magic is still being obstructed, but
Oh well.
Looks like it's fine as long as I
refine it into narrow threads.
They set up this whole magic-blocking scenario.
It would be rude of me to completely ignore it.
Okay
let's go.
Of course
It's laid out in this sequence, so
We are Shadow Garden.
Wait, maybe it was "Shadow Guardian"?
Well, whatever.
I'm Rex,
te great Game of Betrayal, Rex.
And my job is to retrieve the pendant artifact.
When I'm done, my boss says I can
wreak as much havoc as I want.
I can read you like a book, that really helps.
Thanks a bunch, little lady!
No you don't!
Not bad for a guy who can't use his magic.
Magic isn't everything.
When your opponent is weaker,
it's easy enough to parry his attacks.
"When your opponent is weaker"?
You think you're better than me, punk?
Yes, yes, I do.
Then I guess I'll ask you your name.
I am Glen, the Lion's Mane,
Vice Commander of the Crimson Order.
Marco!
Sir!
Miss Sherry!
Now's your chance! Run!
Vice Commander!
They've corralled all the hostages in the auditorium.
The standard formula, good.
Security is totally wiped out,
and the knight order has come running
to provide support.
But with magic being blocked,
they're hesitating to charge inside.
That's pretty cliched, too.
Not bad at all.
We also have some of the terrorists
running around the school
to make sure there aren't any more hidden students.
Such a beautiful sight to behold.
Then there's me.
The Eminence in Shadow, looking very meaningfully
down on the proceedings from the roof.
Magnificent.
That's one more thing to cross off my bucket list.
However
They're not just sticking to the cookie-cutter script.
They've added a fair amount of originality to it,
which is good.
But they have no sense of aesthetics!
Wearing all black in the middle of the day?!
Have you no regard for the proper
time, place, and occasion?!
Now you just look like a bunch of losers
who don't know how to dress themselves!
If you're going to wear the long black coat,
you do it at night!
Everybody knows that!
If it's gonna be like this,
I'm just gonna play it slow until nightfall.
I'll buy myself some time by playing
a little game of snipe the badguys,
and save my grand entrance until after dark.
A pink-haired idiot running around
practically begging to be captured.
Wait a minute, that's Sherry!
You're cute, Sherry.
I know you think you're being sneaky,
but everyone can see you.
Mission complete.
My background character senses are telling me
that the main story is progressing.
When the scenario gets closer to its climax,
the Eminence in Shadow will make
his dashing appearance.
I love it.
Now I leap dramatically from the top of a building.
That's one more item
to cross off my bucket list!
Oh, good, just my imagination.
He said
Not bad for a guy who can't use his magic.
They must be using that artifact.
That's why they want to get this one.
If I can get to Father's room,
there should be documents with more details.
Oh, good, just my imagination.
Oh, good, just my imagination.
Are you all right?
Cid
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
Oh, no, Cid, you're hurt!
Oh, it's nothing; I'm fine.
I just miraculously survived
a near-fatal encounter, that's all.
But more importantly, I have some things to tell you.
Like, "Let's not talk out loud to ourselves."
And "Let's stop trying to figure things out
and walk at the same time."
And maybe, "Pay attention to where you're walking."
But most of all.
Let's take off those noisy, flip-flopping slippers.
I guess the Assistant Principal isn't here.
Right, I hope he managed to get out safely.
I think this is where he kept it.
I took out five more guys on the way here.
She really is the main character of this story arc.
But you can't get the good ending
on this story path with just her.
There's supposed to be a sidekick in these situations,
but I don't see any signs of one.
This scenario is terribly flawed.
I found it!
What is this?
An artifact called the Eye of Avarice.
This is what's blocking our magic.
The Eye of Avarice can absorb magical energy
from any Dark Knight or magical item within its
range of efficacy, and store it temporarily.
As a result, it becomes difficult to shape
any magical energy while in its vicinity.
But the guys in black were using magic
without any trouble.
You can program it to remember magical frequencies
that you don't want it to absorb.
It has to have a feature like that,
or it would swallow up the magic of
anyone who tried to use it.
I see, that's very interesting.
So does it absorb any magic that
hasn't been recorded in its memory?
I don't really know.
I don't think it can absorb magical traces
that are too small to detect,
and of course, powerful spells that exceed the
artifact's capacity would be too much for it.
But there isn't a human alive
who can use that kind of magic.
Right.
If that was all there was to it,
it would just be an artifact that's
not very easy to work with.
But once the Eye of Avarice has absorbed
all the magical energy it can,
apparently it releases it all at once.
All at once?
Yes, all of it, in one big blast.
Cid, you told me that all the students are
being kept in the auditorium, right?
If they want to absorb magic efficiently,
they would put the Eye of Avarice in a place
where there would be a large quantity of magic,
in the auditorium, where they have most of
the Academy's Dark Knights captive.
If the stored magic exceeds the Eye of Avarice's
capacity and it releases it all at once
It would blow the school sky high.
Yes.
Because of that high risk, Father chose not to
publish his findings in academia,
and he gave the Eye of Avarice to
the government for safekeeping.
Then either there's another one just like it,
or the first one's been stolen.
So? Is there a way to fight it?
Yes, with this.
Oh, the flying saucer from before.
This artifact is the control unit for the Eye of Avarice.
I've been deciphering it, and I finally figured it out.
Originally, the Eye of Avarice was
meant to be used with this one,
as an artifact for long-term magical storage.
Long-term storage?
So you're saying you can stop it
from releasing the energy?
Yes, exactly!
Isn't it incredible?
It can effortlessly store
and manipulate magical energy.
If we can recreate the technology,
it could be the breakthrough that
would replace steam-powered-
So what are you going to do now?
When I've finished decoding this artifact,
I'll head to the auditorium through the basement.
The basement?
All the academy's facilities are connected
via a series of hidden tunnels
to use as an escape route
in the event of an emergency.
Hidden tunnels?
I like it.
If I can activate the artifact and
get it close to the Eye of Avarice,
that should stop the Eye from functioning.
That's a much more decent plan than I expected.
The last part's a little weak,
but it should give me a chance to
wreak some havoc as Shadow, so whatevs.
But
I left all the tools I'll need to fine-tune
the artifact back in my study.
I can go get them.
I can't ask you to do that!
You're hurt!
I have to go to the bathroom anyway.
It's on my way.
Okay?
Cid
Our academy takeover is almost complete.
The knights are buzzing around outside,
but they're nothing to worry about.
I don't care about any of that.
Why haven't you retrieved the artifact?
Right, the artifact.
I'm pretty sure that girl has it.
I have a general idea where to find it, so
Do you have any idea how much your antics
have interfered with our plans?
H-hey, don't get mad.
One more slip up, and I will kill you.
Okay, okay, I get it!
I'll go get it right now.
Oh, that reminds me.
Somebody's taken out not only our Thirds,
but two of our Seconds.
There's a real master fighter
hiding somewhere in this school.
You think it might be you-know-who?
Shadow Garden
So you've finally shown yourselves.
You better watch your step.
You would tell me to watch my step?
Finally, all my ambitions will be realized.
I will be reinstated in the Knights of Rounds.
What happened?
Were we attacked?
Son of a
Too fast for me to see?
Are you using an artifact to boost your speed?
In that case, face my net!
Do you know what I did?
That's right, I cast a net!
I don't care how fast you are,
the second you get caught in my net,
it will let me know!
How many more times can you use that artifact
before it wears you out?
Two? Three?
Your uniform was drenched in blood.
You're really pushing it to-
Son of a
You hit me from inside my net?
No way! That's impossible!
You little punk, what the hell kind of
artifact are you using?
Wh-what the
What is happening?
What the hell is happening?!
Hey
You are awesome.
Even a prestigious knight was no match
It ends all too quickly
when their magic is sealed away.
Marco Granger
So, you're in the Crimson Order now.
What are you doing, Nu?
Lord Shadow!
This man was my betrothed.
What are you gonna do to him?
I personally have no reason to do anything to him.
Then I think it's okay to do nothing.
I apologize for the delay, but I have a report.
'Kay.
Shadow Garden has infiltrated the academy
and is now awaiting orders.
They're ready to act as soon as you give the word.
'Kay.
But launching an attack when magic has been
restricted comes with serious risks.
Only the Seven Shadows can fight
at their standard levels,
but the only one of them currently
in the capital is Lady Gamma.
And, well
This sort of mission isn't exactly her forte.
Right, she has zero combat sense.
Um, yes.
I myself cannot draw on even half of my usual powers.
Oh, darn.
Currently, Lady Gamma has taken general command.
She predicts that the restrictions on magical powers
will be lifted before too long.
There have been no movements from the Cult.
Now that they've sealed their opponents' magic,
they're making the most of their advantage
to build their defenses.
As for the Knights, the only ones
who will be any use in battle
will be Princess Iris and the
reinforcements' leading officers.
They seem to be having a difference of opinion
over who will take command,
perhaps due to objections from the palace.
I see.
Our forces have been instructed to wait
until we see enemy movement,
unless you direct us otherwise, Lord Shadow.
Oh, wait a minute!
Do you know where I can find the mythril tweezers?
Oh, they're over here, my lord.
I'm also gonna need the powdered bone
of earth dragon, ashen magicite, and
Thanks, you've been a big help.
You're welcome.
Might I ask what you need all of this for?
We're fine-tuning an artifact.
An artifact?
You know how to do that?
Yeah, our magic is being blocked by an
artifact called the Eye of Avarice.
And we're in the final stages of fine-tuning
the artifact that can neutralize it.
A difficult task requiring the greatest level
of knowledge in the kingdom
And you make it sound so easy.
I guess so.
I think we'll have it finished by
the time the sun goes down.
Then we will make preparations to
launch our attack at that time.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yes, lord.
You've been spared another day.
Father, please

All the academy's facilities are connected

Right, she has zero combat sense.
Um, yes.
I myself cannot draw on even half of my usual powers.
Oh, darn.
Currently, Lady Gamma has taken general command.
She predicts that the restrictions on magical powers
will be lifted before too long.
There have been no movements from the Cult.
Now that they've sealed their opponents' magic,
they're making the most of their advantage
to build their defenses.
As for the Knights, the only ones
who will be any use in battle
will be Princess Iris and the
reinforcements' leading officers.
They seem to be having a difference of opinion
over who will take command,
perhaps due to objections from the palace.
I see.
Our forces have been instructed to wait
until we see enemy movement,
unless you direct us otherwise, Lord Shadow.
Oh, wait a minute!
Do you know where I can find the mythril tweezers?
Oh, they're over here, my lord.
I'm also gonna need the powdered bone
of earth dragon, ashen magicite, and
Thanks, you've been a big help.
You're welcome.
Might I ask what you need all of this for?
We're fine-tuning an artifact.
An artifact?
You know how to do that?
Yeah, our magic is being blocked by an
artifact called the Eye of Avarice.
And we're in the final stages of fine-tuning
the artifact that can neutralize it.
A difficult task requiring the greatest level
of knowledge in the kingdom
And you make it sound so easy.
I guess so.
I think we'll have it finished by
the time the sun goes down.
Then we will make preparations to
launch our attack at that time.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yes, lord.
You've been spared another day.
Father, please
