The Violinist of Hameln
Shchelkunchik

Shchel: .........

yes

It'll be alright

Don't worry

I will

be
back!

To change destiny...

---- 2

22nd movement - Shchel's Étude

I'm going!
Harmony!!

Piroro: .........

Shchel

Shchel

---- 3

Shchel: It's morning...

Piroro: You dreamed about...
that day, right

You were mumbling...

You can't
forget, right...

Shchel: Like I could...

---- 4

Shchel: I will

for sure

Horn Pipe: A lot of things happened and we got a late start, but from today on
The School of Magic's classes are restarting!

As you know
I, Horn Pipe, the teacher with 89 years of experience
am quite strict

---- 5

Great:......

Are you sure you're alright?
Shchel: Yeah!

My body is totally fine now!
Thank goodness! I recovered in time...!

I'll give my best!
I'll study lots, and then...

become a great mage!!

---- 6

Great: Tche, is that so...

Bratsche: That's right
Shchel-kun

No matter how much you're told it's impossible...

That time in the "Ark"...
And also when Great turned into a demon... you made it somehow...

Always looking forward with hope
If it's Shchel-kun...
Someday, for sure...!

---- 7

Horn Pipe: Now, I will evaluate
your magic power...

Students: Magic power- just how...?
What are those weapons for?

Horn Pipe: These aren't just any normal weapons...
They're magical weapons, infused with magic

Magic power is something that everyone possesses, whether it's much or little.
student(handwritten): Even me...?

Horn Pipe:This evaluation will determine how much magic power you possess

The blades lined up here
Can't be used without magic power... neither can they be lifted
Just like the staves used by the Corps...

---- 8

Great: Maybe it's like my eyepatch
Shchel: Eh?

Great: My mother
to keep Chestra's blood from waking up...
she stored a considerable amount of power in the cross on this patch to create a seal
Shchel: eh?

Horn Pipe: By the size of the blade you're able to lift
Your latent abilities, in short, your talent, can be determined

Gustav:Interesting.........
If it's like that

Leave it to me!!
GUSTAV!!

---- 9

Gustav: Why, a sword like this
UNGH!?

Bwuh!?
UUUNGH!!

IT DIDN'T EVEN BUDGE!?

IS IT GLUED TO THE FREAKIN' FLOOR!?
Horn Pipe: I said it wasn't about strength... [handwritten: so...]

Gustav: Can't be helped, I'll try this slightly shorter one...
Bwuh? I can't lift this one either

Well, then, a much smaller one
Geeeh, I can't raise this one either...

THEN, A SMALLEEEER
NEITHER!?

NEITHER.........

NEITHER!?

---- 10

sfx: ti~~ny

Horn Pipe: Well, that's normal
Next!

Students: Ungh!! Heavy...
Next

Shiiiit
Next

It's really true that they're raised with magic power
Yeah

Even Biyorne who's so strong can only grasp one that size...
Biyorne: UGH, I LOST!! [Handwritten: To my little sister...]
Bratsche: Uuuhn!!
[H. Pipe handwritten: Oh, this one's slightly bigger!]
Students: And the teacher grasped several at the same time while laying them down
Amazing!

---- 11

Great: What a pain

Student: Ooh, it's Great's turn!!
Maybe he can do it!!

I mean, he's the Demon King Chestra's
Grandchild and all

Great: Is this one alright?
Horn Pipe: WHOAH THAT'S IN THE BOARD CHAIRMAN'S LEVEL
OOOOOOF!!
Sfx: hyoi

Students: OOH AWESOME!
sfx: whoom whoom fwoom
He's swinging it around one-handed!
-That's- the demon king's blood!!
Horn Pipe: Uuh, defeated...
my 89 years of teaching experience...

---- 12

Horn Pipe: As expected, a terrifying talent...
but...

NEXT!!
Shchel: Yes!
Horn Pipe: It's him----

He's the mystery
In the previous combat ability evaluation he showed absolutely no abilities, but......
I SAW...!

When you stopped the Demon King in Great's body...
it arose from you, a surge like a huge column of fire!!

---- 13

Horn Pipe: A magical power capable of stopping Chestra himself!! There's no mistake
My 89 years of teaching experience are not wrong
Handwritten: He's an once-in-a-thousand-years genius!

Shchel: Just how much magic power do I have?
sfx: doki doki
Horn Pipe: Ah, Shchel-kun

You're gonna try this one

Shchel: THIS IS--!!

---- 14

Horn Pipe: This is the legendary Heavenly Holy Sword itself, which is sung to have, in times of strife in Heaven, destroyed all evil and torn the surface of the earth apart
EXCALIVAST!!

Students: Amazing
It's sublime just to look at!

Shchel and this sword?
I dunno, he is--

Gustav: the man who...
stopped Chestra!

Horn Pipe: By the way, until now
The ones who were able to draw it out

have been the Greatest Mages
Only!!

---- 15

Shchel: O, only great mages!!
Piroro: Shchel, this is your chance!
If you're able to draw this sword and swing it about...

Bratsche: That's right, Shchel-kun!!
You can do it!!

I believe in you!!
Do your best......!!

Biyorne: You can do it
Shchel-kun!!

Students: Shchel
SHCHEL!!
SHCHEL!!
SHCHEL!!

Gustav: I'll be able to watch a miracle!

Great: Tche

---- 16

Shchel: Everyone is...
Students: do it, Shchel
Change destiny!
Shchel: counting one me

confident in me

ALRIGHT!!
I'll draw it out!

I WILL......
BECOME A GREAT MAGE!!

---- 17

Shchel: UOOOOOOH!

Horn Pipe: Do it, Shchel!
Your true strength

THE RADIANCE OF LIFE

Students: Hey!! Just now, his arms

sfx: roll roll

Shchel: GYAW

---- 19

Students: UWAAAAAH! HE'S BEING SQUASHED BY THE SWORD'S PEDESTAL!!
HIS BODY IS BENDING IN AN EVEN WRONGER WAY!!
Bratsche handwritten: More wounds...

Students: HN!?
What's that!?
Something's coming
from the sword

Horn Pipe: OOH!! IT'S THE HEAVENLY HOLY SWORD'S SPIRIT...
LORD EXCALIVAST!!

---- 20

Students: The sword spirit came out
It's so...!!

Horn Pipe: It's,
it's a miracle

sfx: fu

Students: What a beautiful smile
It's so sublime!

Piroro: He came out when Shchel tried to draw the sword

Students: Wha, what the hell is that about...?
Maybe he's really hated by the sword spirit
Handwritten: But the sword spirit is unreasonably angry...

---- 22

sfx: scratch scratch

Horn Pipe: Oh, well, try that slightly smaller one...
Shchel: UUUUUNGH!!

Horn Pipe: A much smaller one

sfx: UOOOOH
DOSU DOSU DOSU

Bratsche: Ooh, to think that such glorious words...
could cause so much pity...
Great: Sure it's not impossible?
Handwritten: The sword spirit is kancho*-ing him...

(*kancho - think "a thousand years of pain" from Naruto. Check the spirit's hands and imagine where he's shoving those fingers.)
