breakin’ the rules,

131

the school’s
and the taboo index’s.

132

On the other hand, anything that
doesn’t fall under the rules

is up for debate.

135

for a loophole.

they’d go that far

137

on doing anything.

That’s the secret mantra
of the aincrad style.

146
00:06:55,449 --> 00:06:58,686
It’s pretty much the same
as saying, "stay calm."

147
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:01,088
You can also use it
to say goodbye to someone.

148
00:07:01,154 --> 00:07:03,390
It’s like another way
of saying, "see you later."

149
00:07:03,457 --> 00:07:05,726
Eugeo: Oh. Okay!

150
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:06,926

152
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:10,397
What an unusual thing to say.

153
00:07:10,464 --> 00:07:11,832
Stay cool? Bizarre.

i’m gonna go hit the sack.

156
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:19,372
kirito: Oh, hey,
by the way, about tomorrow,

157
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,441
I have to run some errands,
so you’re on your--

158
00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:23,076
eugeo: Oh, no, you don’t!

159
00:07:23,143 --> 00:07:26,079
We promised tiese and ronie
we’d take them out for a picnic,

160
00:07:26,146 --> 00:07:28,382
and by "we," I mean us,
so if you think

161
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:29,883
you can get out of it,
you’re mistaken.

at 9:00 sharp,

164
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,756
so make sure you’re ready
to leave by then. You got it?

165
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:37,057
Kirito: Okay, okay.

166
00:07:37,124 --> 00:07:39,793
Do me a favor, though,
and wake me up at 8:00.

167
00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:41,795
I need to catch up
on some sleep.

168
00:07:41,862 --> 00:07:43,664
Eugeo: No! 8:00’s way too late!

169
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:46,032
Make it 7:30!

170
00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:47,601
And stay cool.

171
00:07:47,668 --> 00:07:48,903
Kirito: I know I told you

172
00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:50,704
that phrase
is like saying, "bye,"

173
00:07:50,771 --> 00:07:53,374
but it’s not something you say
to someone goin’ to bed.

174
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,441
Eugeo: Why not?

175
00:07:54,508 --> 00:07:56,377
Kirito: ’cause you don’t.

176
00:07:56,443 --> 00:07:59,513
You use it when you’re really
saying goodbye to someone.

177
00:07:59,580 --> 00:08:00,748
Eugeo: Oh.

178
00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:02,783
What a complicated phrase.

179
00:08:11,758 --> 00:08:16,763
If what kirito said is true,
are humbert and raios capable

180
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:19,933
of sidestepping the laws
of the axiom church?

181
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,069
( Sighs ) What am I saying?

182
00:08:23,537 --> 00:08:25,706
You can’t even doubt
the taboo index,

183
00:08:25,772 --> 00:08:27,107
much less disobey it.

184
00:08:27,174 --> 00:08:29,877
If there were a way around it,

185
00:08:29,943 --> 00:08:31,845
I could have done something

186
00:08:31,912 --> 00:08:36,483
instead of stand there
and watch Alice get taken away.

187
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:39,853
Why couldn’t I disobey
when I had the chance?

188
00:08:40,988 --> 00:08:43,657
♪

189
00:08:46,827 --> 00:08:47,928
Alice.

190
00:08:51,165 --> 00:08:53,668
( Birds chirping )

191
00:08:53,734 --> 00:08:54,902
( Frog chirping )

192
00:08:54,968 --> 00:08:57,637
Tiese: Eugeo, are you listening?

193
00:08:57,704 --> 00:08:59,072
Eugeo?

194
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:00,774
Eugeo: Huh? Sorry.

195
00:09:00,841 --> 00:09:03,711
I missed that last part.
you were saying?

196
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:05,445
( Tiese sighs )
You didn’t hear a single word.

197
00:09:05,512 --> 00:09:07,047
Eugeo: I’m sorry. I just--

198
00:09:07,114 --> 00:09:09,917
i was just admiring
how beautiful the forest was.

199
00:09:09,983 --> 00:09:12,586
it has animals
i’ve never seen before.

200
00:09:12,653 --> 00:09:13,621
Tiese: Really?

201
00:09:13,687 --> 00:09:15,989
Eugeo: Yeah, like that one.

202
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:19,426
Tiese: Oh, that? That’s just
a plain old golden flying fox.

203
00:09:19,493 --> 00:09:21,462
don’t tell me
you’ve never seen one.

204
00:09:21,528 --> 00:09:23,530
They’re in every tree
in the capital.

205
00:09:23,597 --> 00:09:26,033
eugeo: Oh, right.
I guess you’d be used to them,

206
00:09:26,099 --> 00:09:27,834
since you were born
and raised here.

207
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:28,902
Tiese: That’s true.

208
00:09:28,969 --> 00:09:30,504
Eugeo: Do your folks
live nearby?

209
00:09:30,571 --> 00:09:32,339
tiese: No.
They live in district eight.

210
00:09:32,406 --> 00:09:35,109
It’s a bit of a ways away
from where we are in five.

211
00:09:35,175 --> 00:09:36,643
Eugeo: Oh. You don’t say.

212
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:38,545
Uh...

213
00:09:38,612 --> 00:09:41,548
Hang on. If i’m not mistaken,

214
00:09:41,615 --> 00:09:44,017
don’t you come
from a family of nobles?

215
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:45,786
I thought all of the mansions

216
00:09:45,853 --> 00:09:47,888
were in districts
three and four.

217
00:09:47,955 --> 00:09:49,990
tiese: Only nobles
who are fourth rank or higher

218
00:09:50,057 --> 00:09:51,525
get to live in that district.

219
00:09:51,592 --> 00:09:54,061
my father is
a sixth-rank nobleman.

220
00:09:54,127 --> 00:09:56,730
Therefore, he has
no judicial authority.

221
00:09:56,797 --> 00:09:58,132
Eugeo: I didn’t know that.

222
00:09:58,198 --> 00:10:00,033
i thought that was
something every noble has.

223
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:01,702
Tiese: Certainly not!

224
00:10:01,768 --> 00:10:04,871
Only nobles fourth rank or
higher are granted that power,

225
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:07,007
whereas nobles who are
ranked fifth and lower

226
00:10:07,074 --> 00:10:10,144
must adhere to the judgment
of those of higher ranking!

227
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:12,112
Eugeo: Oh. Interesting.

228
00:10:13,914 --> 00:10:16,016
Tiese: Uh, anyway...

229
00:10:16,083 --> 00:10:17,785
That’s why someone like myself,

230
00:10:17,851 --> 00:10:19,786
an heir to a sixth-rank house,

231
00:10:19,853 --> 00:10:22,622
is an aristocrat in name only.

232
00:10:22,689 --> 00:10:24,558
In that sense, our lifestyle

233
00:10:24,625 --> 00:10:26,794
is really no different
from most people’s.

234
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:29,029
Eugeo: Oh. Really?

235
00:10:29,096 --> 00:10:30,531
Kirito: Okay,
so if your opponent

236
00:10:30,597 --> 00:10:32,399
wants to get the drop on you
from above

237
00:10:32,466 --> 00:10:33,934
with a high-norkian
style attack,

238
00:10:34,001 --> 00:10:35,669
there’s two types of strikes

239
00:10:35,736 --> 00:10:38,172
you gotta be ready
to defend yourself against.

240
00:10:38,238 --> 00:10:40,574
They are a strike from above

241
00:10:40,641 --> 00:10:42,510
or diagonally to the right.

242
00:10:42,576 --> 00:10:43,911
If they do anything else,

243
00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:45,879
that means they’re gonna
switch up their footing,

244
00:10:45,946 --> 00:10:48,148
so you’ll still
have time to block it.

245
00:10:48,215 --> 00:10:49,550
( Eugeo chuckles )

246
00:10:49,616 --> 00:10:53,553
Man, i’m stuffed!

247
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:59,659
Tiese: Um, if it would be
all right with you two,

248
00:10:59,726 --> 00:11:02,529
we’d like to get
your thoughts on something.

249
00:11:02,596 --> 00:11:05,866
it’s about frenica,
our roommate at the dormitory.

250
00:11:05,933 --> 00:11:07,568
( Both sigh )

251
00:11:07,634 --> 00:11:10,570
Ronie: The elite disciple
whom she unfortunately is forced

252
00:11:10,637 --> 00:11:13,640
to serve under
is a rather crude individual.

253
00:11:13,707 --> 00:11:15,475
Over the past few days,

254
00:11:15,542 --> 00:11:19,146
he’s been giving her orders that
go way beyond inappropriate.

255
00:11:19,213 --> 00:11:21,382
Eugeo: His ranking is no excuse.

256
00:11:21,448 --> 00:11:24,751
If he’s making her do things
that violate the school’s rules,

257
00:11:24,818 --> 00:11:25,986
he should be reported.

258
00:11:26,053 --> 00:11:27,922
Tiese: That’s just it.

259
00:11:27,988 --> 00:11:30,557
technically,
they’re not violations,

260
00:11:30,624 --> 00:11:34,561
but the demands he makes of
a female student are so obscene.

261
00:11:34,628 --> 00:11:36,897
Eugeo: You don’t
have to say any more.

262
00:11:36,964 --> 00:11:40,000
The problem is, the only way
to change frenica’s mentor

263
00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:41,969
is to get the approval
of her current one.

264
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:44,971
Can you tell us his name?

265
00:11:45,038 --> 00:11:48,041
( Tiese sighs ) Yes.

266
00:11:48,108 --> 00:11:51,912
It’s second seat elite disciple,
humbert zizek.

267
00:11:51,979 --> 00:11:53,514
Kirito: I’m not surprised.

268
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:55,048
( Both gasp )

269
00:11:55,115 --> 00:11:58,585
Eugeo: A few days ago, I had
a sparring match with humbert

270
00:11:58,652 --> 00:12:01,388
in the training hall.
We ended it in a draw.

271
00:12:01,455 --> 00:12:05,092
In fact, he seemed
pretty upset by that.

272
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:09,530
my guess is he’s taking
his frustrations out on frenica.

273
00:12:09,596 --> 00:12:11,465
Ronie: He’s doing this
out of revenge?

274
00:12:11,532 --> 00:12:13,534
How could he be so cruel?

275
00:12:14,768 --> 00:12:16,436
Tiese: I just
can’t understand it.

276
00:12:16,503 --> 00:12:20,907
We live in a larger house
than most other civilians

277
00:12:20,974 --> 00:12:23,477
and enjoy
some additional privileges,

278
00:12:23,544 --> 00:12:25,713
but my father
would always remind me

279
00:12:25,779 --> 00:12:28,415
that we should never
take those things for granted.

280
00:12:28,482 --> 00:12:31,552
He’d say we were obliged
to ensure everyone,

281
00:12:31,618 --> 00:12:32,886
no matter their station,

282
00:12:32,953 --> 00:12:35,522
could live
a happy and peaceful life.

283
00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:38,158
And if war broke out,
it’s our duty

284
00:12:38,225 --> 00:12:41,795
to take up our swords first
and protect the weak.

285
00:12:41,862 --> 00:12:44,131
and yet,
because of the heartless orders

286
00:12:44,198 --> 00:12:46,167
that were issued by a noble,

287
00:12:46,233 --> 00:12:49,670
frenica couldn’t help but cry
herself to sleep last night.

288
00:12:49,736 --> 00:12:53,940
it’s not right. How can
something like this be allowed?

289
00:12:54,007 --> 00:12:56,176
( Sighs )

290
00:12:56,243 --> 00:12:57,745
Thank you.

291
00:12:59,580 --> 00:13:01,048
Kirito: There’s a phrase
in the sacred tongue

292
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,415
that comes to mind,

293
00:13:02,482 --> 00:13:04,050
which--let’s see.

294
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:08,588
it’s pronounced
noblesse oblige, I think.

295
00:13:08,655 --> 00:13:12,826
Basically it means
whoever’s got the power

296
00:13:12,893 --> 00:13:14,995
should use it
for the sake of the vulnerable,

297
00:13:15,062 --> 00:13:17,531
just like your father said.

298
00:13:17,598 --> 00:13:19,567
It’s a code of honor,

299
00:13:19,633 --> 00:13:22,603
and that kind of honor
is more important

300
00:13:22,669 --> 00:13:25,505
than any law or custom.

301
00:13:25,572 --> 00:13:27,641
There are things
you just shouldn’t do,

302
00:13:27,708 --> 00:13:29,777
even if there’s
no law against ’em.

303
00:13:29,843 --> 00:13:34,014
At the same time, there might
be stuff you should do,

304
00:13:34,081 --> 00:13:36,717
even if the laws
say you shouldn’t.

305
00:13:38,185 --> 00:13:40,087
Ronie: I think I understand

306
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:41,821
what it is you’re saying.

307
00:13:41,889 --> 00:13:43,924
If i’m hearing you correctly...

308
00:13:43,991 --> 00:13:46,794
the taboo index
doesn’t cover everything.

309
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:48,929
In cases like this one,

310
00:13:48,996 --> 00:13:51,565
we have to use
our own personal sense

311
00:13:51,632 --> 00:13:52,933
of what’s right
and what’s wrong.

312
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,469
Instead of blindly obeying laws,

313
00:13:55,536 --> 00:13:59,740
we need to ask why they exist
and if they’re even honorable.

314
00:13:59,806 --> 00:14:00,940
That self-reflection

315
00:14:01,008 --> 00:14:03,944
is more important
than just blind faith.

316
00:14:04,011 --> 00:14:06,347
kirito: Yup!
That’s exactly right.

317
00:14:06,413 --> 00:14:07,814
It’s super important to learn

318
00:14:07,881 --> 00:14:09,649
how to act and think
for yourself.

319
00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:11,651
That’s worth more
than the best sword

320
00:14:11,718 --> 00:14:13,553
or the flashiest move.

321
00:14:13,620 --> 00:14:16,823
Even though humbert didn’t
technically break the rules,

322
00:14:16,890 --> 00:14:19,359
what he did is still 100% wrong.

323
00:14:19,426 --> 00:14:22,763
Someone’s gotta hold him
accountable for that.

324
00:14:22,830 --> 00:14:25,900
In this case, it looks
like it’s up to us to.

325
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:30,037
eugeo: Right.
We’ll go and sort this out.

326
00:14:32,139 --> 00:14:34,041
Raios: Well, well.

327
00:14:34,107 --> 00:14:38,545
To what do we owe the pleasure
of this visit, disciple eugeo?

328
00:14:38,612 --> 00:14:41,415
and on the evening
of our day of rest, no less.

329
00:14:41,481 --> 00:14:44,818
Eugeo: I’ve come to report
a troubling rumor.

330
00:14:44,885 --> 00:14:47,788
unfortunately,
it concerns disciple zizek.

331
00:14:47,855 --> 00:14:50,391
I thought i’d bring this
to your attention

332
00:14:50,457 --> 00:14:52,960
before it damaged
his stellar reputation.

333
00:14:53,026 --> 00:14:54,728
Humbert: Are you mocking me?!

334
00:14:54,795 --> 00:14:56,597
Raios: Oh, my.

335
00:14:56,663 --> 00:14:58,131
I must say i’m surprised.

336
00:14:58,198 --> 00:15:00,667
i wouldn’t have
expected this from you.

337
00:15:00,734 --> 00:15:02,669
How thoughtful of you
to be concerned

338
00:15:02,736 --> 00:15:04,972
for the sake
of my friend’s good name.

339
00:15:05,038 --> 00:15:07,841
However, i’m afraid
I have no idea

340
00:15:07,908 --> 00:15:10,677
what this rumor
you speak of could be.

341
00:15:14,181 --> 00:15:16,583
Along with the nature
of these claims,

342
00:15:16,650 --> 00:15:19,086
I must ask where you
acquired this information.

343
00:15:19,152 --> 00:15:20,854
Eugeo: From lord zizek’s page,

344
00:15:20,921 --> 00:15:23,357
along with the girls
who room with her.

345
00:15:23,423 --> 00:15:24,958
As far as the claims
are concerned,

346
00:15:25,025 --> 00:15:28,762
they say lord zizek

these "perverse orders"?

you’re getting at, sir eugeo.

350

Which of the school’s
regulations

351
00:15:39,139 --> 00:15:41,141

( Sighs )

354
00:15:44,478 --> 00:15:48,015
Sir, even if something isn’t
specifically forbidden here,

355
00:15:48,081 --> 00:15:50,817
do you not agree there are
things an elite disciple

356
00:15:50,884 --> 00:15:53,420
should never do
as a primary trainee’s mentor?

357
00:15:53,487 --> 00:15:56,623
raios: Oh, ho!
I can tell this upsets you.

358
00:15:56,690 --> 00:15:59,059
Now then, what exactly
are you insinuating

359
00:15:59,126 --> 00:16:01,462
humbert forced frenica to do?

360
00:16:01,528 --> 00:16:03,063

what say you, humbert?

362

363
00:16:07,501 --> 00:16:09,803

could be referring to?

364
00:16:11,672 --> 00:16:13,407
Humbert: Not even the foggiest!

365
00:16:13,473 --> 00:16:16,910
Try as I might, I can’t make
heads nor tails of it.

366
00:16:16,977 --> 00:16:18,779
It is true that I asked her

367
00:16:18,846 --> 00:16:20,915
to perform
some menial tasks for me.

368
00:16:20,981 --> 00:16:23,550
But ever since my duel
with sir eugeo,

369
00:16:23,617 --> 00:16:27,054
which regrettably ended
in a draw, i’m a changed man

370
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,023
and have immersed myself
fully in my training!

371
00:16:30,090 --> 00:16:33,427
Why, i’ve been using muscles
I did not know I had,

372
00:16:33,494 --> 00:16:36,130
and, as a result,
my body ached so badly.

373
00:16:36,196 --> 00:16:38,398
In such a humbled state
as I was in,

374
00:16:38,465 --> 00:16:40,434
I had no choice but to ask her

375
00:16:40,501 --> 00:16:42,536
to massage me every night
while I bathed.

376
00:16:42,603 --> 00:16:43,938
( Eugeo gasps )

377
00:16:44,004 --> 00:16:45,806
Humbert: I was concerned
she would soil her uniform,

378
00:16:45,873 --> 00:16:47,942
so I graciously
had her strip down

379
00:16:48,008 --> 00:16:49,776
and massage me
in her undergarments.

380
00:16:49,843 --> 00:16:52,813
honestly, I can’t
for the life of me understand

381
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,149

could think that perverse.

Eugeo: Because of your behavior,
frenica has been beside herself.

383
00:17:03,557 --> 00:17:06,593
If you continue harassing her,
I will be forced

384
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:09,596

of our instructors.

385
00:17:09,663 --> 00:17:10,864

the reason they’re going
to all this trouble

398

if you’d taken their bait and
started going off on humbert,

402

they could have accused you
of being disrespectful to them,

403

to punish you. You see?

messing with frenica, he’ll pay.
