Episode 5-40: Shout your Dissatisfaction!
Sea
(whirring, skidding)
Deuce Deuce	Alright, we’re here.
Epel Epel	Phew…! You drive so fast, Deuce-kun… I didn’t know what to do…
Deuce Deuce	R-really…? I thought I was going slow—Ah, no, never mind. Still, this Magical Wheel was heavily customized by Ignihyde. It’s got a lot of new features to it. We managed, but I can’t say it was easy.
Epel Epel	(chuckles) But it felt really good! I love going for a drive. But are you sure we’re okay? We left the campus without permission…
Deuce Deuce	Ack… I got too carried away that I kinda forgot to get permission… Please share the responsibility with me later.
Epel Epel	I expect that Vil-san’s fuming right now.
(waves crashing)
Epel Epel	… This might be the first time I’ve seen the sea since coming here.
Deuce Deuce	We might be on the Sage’s Island, but our school is right smack on top of a mountain by the north.
Epel Epel	And Royal Sword Academy is all the way out the other coast. Ah…!
Epel Epel	Wait… Is that Royal Sword Academy?
Epel Epel	Amazing…! It’s a school, but it looks like a castle fit for a prince.
Deuce Deuce	I’ve seen a glimpse of it from our school’s outlook, but seeing it up close is really something. It’s a really elegant building.
Epel Epel	My seniors from the Magift Club say that it’s a school “brimming with pompous rich kids” a lot, too… Neige studies there, doesn’t he?
Deuce Deuce	… (takes a deep breath) I!!!!!! AM!!! NOT!!! GOING TO LOSE!!!!!
Epel Epel	!? Wh-what’s with the shouting, Deuce-kun…?!
Deuce Deuce	I know I’m not the smartest, and I’m probably lacking in many departments, too!!!
Epel Epel	…!
Deuce Deuce	I CAN’T SHAKE OFF MY OLD HABITS EITHER, AND I’M ALWAYS QUICK TO THROW HANDS! BUT I’M GIVING IT MY ALL, DAMN IT!! THAT PUNK ACE MAKES FUN OF ME ALL THE TIME!! I’VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH HIM~~~~!! I’M GONNA BE A REAL HONOR STUDENT ONE DAY, JUST YOU WATCH!!!! I’M GONNA CHANGE, GOD DAMN IT!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~!!!! I feel so much better…!
Epel Epel	Th-that was shocking…
Deuce Deuce	I’ve always gone dashing to the sea and just shouting whenever I feel stressed. … I’ve always been bad at dealing with a lot of things. I study hard, but my grades are just as average as anyone else’s. I’ve kept looking for excuses for things I know I can’t do… It ended up being all too natural for me to do in the long run… “I’m not taking this seriously. It’s no wonder I’m not producing any results.” “Trying desperately to win is just lame.”
Epel Epel	I see…
Deuce Deuce	I’ve been so dumb, so hopeless, I’ve made Mom cry so many times. It was during that time that I got my letter to Night Raven College. And then it dawned on me… Maybe, just maybe, I could become a different person in this new environment. “This is my chance!”
Epel Epel	And did things change when you got here?
Deuce Deuce	It didn’t work. I may look like some kinda model student, but I haven’t changed one bit. I’m still as crude and hopeless as ever. Nothing ever went my way. But, there’s something I figured out when I got here… Those who were “capable” were also struggling desperately without others knowing. It may have been embarrassing or uncool, heck they may even have resulted to shady means, but… Capable people never give up.
Epel Epel	Deuce-kun…
Deuce Deuce	I invited you here because I thought that we were somewhat in the same boat.
Epel Epel	Huh…?
Deuce Deuce	You always stop before you can say what you want. You want to change but can’t, so you were restless. At least, that’s what I could deduce.
Epel Epel	Yeah… You’re not wrong.
Deuce Deuce	I’m the only one here. Try shouting whatever’s on your mind. You’ll feel so relieved afterwards, I promise!
Epel Epel	Yeah… I’ll try. … (takes a deep breath)
