Showtime: Legend of the Blue Yonder - Chapter 6: Delinquency - Episode 1

Trapped and bound in the warehouse, Sho uses fire magic to burn off the ropes around his hands. Prompted by his fellow squad members, Sho leaves the warehouse alone and heads for the Mysteria Academy of Magic. When he reaches the school, he asks (Captain) and the others to take the bureau to the Wild Hooligans' base. Meanwhile, Sho intends to return to the warehouse himself to settle the score with Domon.

---

Meanwhile, Sho and his two squad members are bound and confined in a warehouse at the port.

Destiny Nocturne 2: Urnnngh!

Destiny Nocturne 2: Damn it... They really went out of their way to tighten these ropes.

Sho: Guess it's time for our last resort.

Sho: Whew... Haaah!

Destiny Nocturne 1: Wait, are you trying to burn the ropes off? You're gonna burn your own hands in the process!

Sho: Shut up!

Sho: If exposing those bastards and their filthy crimes means burning off my own hands, then so be it.

Destiny Nocturnes: King...

With his fire magic, Sho continues to melt the ropes binding his hands together.

Sho: Erk... Aaaaugh!

Sho: Pant, pant...

Destiny Nocturne 2: Your hands... Those burns look bad.

Sho: Hang on a second. I'm gonna get those ropes off you guys.

Sho: Augh... Damn, this stings like hell!

Sho begins to work at his friends' ropes, but the pain from the burns on his hands slows him down.

Destiny Nocturne 1: King, your injuries are gonna get worse! Don't worry about us. Get outta here and save yourself!

Sho: No way in hell am I leaving without you guys! Who knows what Domon and his gang will do to you?

Destiny Nocturne 2: King! It's fine! We're ready for whatever comes!

Destiny Nocturne 1: You said it yourself—we just need one person to get out and set things right. And that's gonna be you, King!

Sho: ...

Destiny Nocturne 1: It's time to set things straight. Do it for the rest of us.

Sho: Compared to breaking out of Supermax... this'll be a piece of cake.

Sho gives a resigned smile before craning his neck to look at the ventilation fan located above them.

He walks over to a stack of wooden crates nearby and begins to climb.

Sho manages to slip out of the warehouse. Despite the exhaustion running through his body, he pushes on in the rain, making his way back to the Mysteria Academy of Magic.

Sho: (I doubt the bureau's gonna listen to what I have to say...)

Sho: (And there's my dad's incident too. If I get caught, we're all done for. That leaves us with...)

As Sho considers his options, Tsubasa's face comes to mind.

Sho: Tsubasa... I hope that idiot hasn't fallen for any of Domon's dirty tricks.

Sho: (I guess the only people we can depend on now are Mr. Bertrand and Ms. Miranda...)

Sho: (But the school's already in a ton of trouble with everything that's happened up until now. I can't make things any more difficult for them.)

Sho: Pant, pant... Ugh...

His knees buckle from fatigue, and Sho tumbles headfirst into a puddle.

Sho: Ergh...

Sho: (Haha... I'm so pathetic.)

Sho: (I'm not a king. I'm far from the top. I'm losing this war here...)

Sho: (Getting myself framed and having friends sacrifice themselves to save me... I'm nothing but trash.)

Sho: (Here I am, acting like I'm the boss of everything... when it's everyone else around me that's keeping things going!)

Sho: Haha... Hyaaahahaha!

Sho: What was I thinking? I've got no choice but to drag other people in.

Sho: I'll throw away what little pride I have left if that's what it takes!

Planting a firm foot on the ground, he pushes himself back up, new resolve apparent on his face.

Sho: (I've come this far. No matter what happens, I have to prove my innocence...)

Sho: (And put a stop to Domon and the Wild Hooligans' crimes, once and for all!)

Sho drags himself forward in the midst of the heavy rain, determined to complete his mission.

His mind is sharp, focused on reaching his destination: the Mysteria Academy of Magic.

Just as the storm begins to die down, Sho arrives at the gates of the academy.

Sho: (Never thought I'd be this glad to go to school...)

Sho: Pant, pant... That's... Blazing Teach and... those kids in Tsubasa's...

Lyria: Look, someone's at the front gate! Is that...

Elmott: Heh. Who would've thought that we'd scour the town for our delinquent friend... only to find him at school?

Lyria: Oh no! He looks really hurt!

Elmott: Geez, what'd he do? Try to wrestle a bear?

(Captain) and company immediately run to the front gates where Sho has fallen to his knees.

Lyria: Sho! Are you all right?

Sho: Don't worry about me... Tsubasa... Where's Tsubasa?

Lyria: Actually, Tsubasa just got taken away by some people from the Skydom Bureau of Investigation...

Sho: So Domon got him too...

Sho: That numbskull!

Elmott: Take it easy there, hothead. We need to get you patched up first.

Sho: Haha... Worried about me, Teach? Touching, but I ain't worth it.

Lyria: It's not just Elmott. The teachers at Mysteria, Tsubasa, and everyone... They've all been really worried about you!

Sho: ...!

Lyria: As have we...

Sho: Oh... Sorry about that.

Elmott: What's this? I don't remember you being so meek. It's giving me the creeps.

Sho: Blazing Teach. (Captain). And you, girl...

Sho: I know it's not my place to ask, but... will you please help me?

Sho lowers his head in a bow as he makes his request.

This is the first time Sho has ever humbled himself to ask someone else for help.

Elmott: Oho...

Lyria: Oh, no, you don't have to do that! We'd be glad to do what we can to help! Right, (Captain)?

Sho: Thanks...

Elmott: By the way...

Elmott: We're also received news that your dad's condition has stabilized, so don't worry.

Sho: I see...

Seeing the faint tears in Sho's eyes, Elmott notes just how much his student has changed since the last time they met.

Elmott: We should get you to the nurse's office, Sho. We can talk there.

Sho: No, there's no time. Let me talk here.

Elmott: Are you kidding me? Look at those burns on your hands, kid.

Sho: They're fine! They don't hurt one bit! So just hear me out!

Elmott: For heaven's sake...

Elmott: Fine, you're the only one who knows the whole story behind what's happening. Tell me—how do you want us to help?

Sho: I know the school's been through a lot with everything that's happened... but I just wanna say that I haven't done squat.

Sho: I broke outta Supermax so I can crush Domon for framing me, and put a stop to all the crimes he's committing.

Elmott: So you're saying everything you've done up until now has been for good reason.

Sho: Yeah, as good as it can get. Anyway, my squad and I managed to locate Domon's haunt, and that's where we found this.

Sho hands Elmott the note he took from the warehouse.

Elmott: Hm. Notes outlining their plans, huh? But unfortunately, this won't be enough to prove their guilt.

Sho: We also found a large amount of mazig and Mysteria school uniforms packed in wooden crates at a warehouse by the port.

Sho: Do you think you can turn in the note and the drugs at the warehouse... and convince the bureau to get on the case?

Elmott: Heh. Yeah, I suppose if you tried to make the delivery, you'd just get thrown back into juvie pronto.

Elmott: All right, leave it to us. We'll find a way to drag the bureau in the right direction.

Elmott: What are you planning to do after this, Sho?

Sho: My buddies are still trapped in the warehouse. I gotta get back there and free 'em.

Elmott: Hold up. Wait until we've talked things over with the bureau—

Sho: We don't have time! They need to be outta there before anyone else gets 'em!

Elmott: Don't tell me you're planning on going by yourself...

Lyria: You can't! You'd be fighting against so many people!

Sho: Look, I know you guys helped me out a lot, so it's not really my place to say this.

Sho: Still, it has to be me... I have to be the one to do it.

Sho: As king, I can't let my friends down.

Sho: God knows what's gonna happen... but I gotta try.

Sho: So after I settle things with Domon, I'll leave the rest... to all of you.

Elmott: Sigh. You're not gonna listen no matter what I say, are you?

Sho: If I get caught, I'll just break out again. Trouble between squads can only be dealt with by squad members. That's what it means to live the delinquent life.

Lyria: If that's the case... you'll at least need first aid treatment before you go!

Lyria: Please, I need your help.

Lyria releases a warm light that envelops Sho's hands, curing his burns.

Sho: This feels good... Thanks.

Lyria: Be careful out there, okay?

Sho is about to run back to the warehouse when he remembers something. He turns back to face (Captain) and company.

Sho: Oh, I've got a genius idea. Hear me out, will ya?

Elmott: Sure, I'm all ears. I'll even award some extra credit if what you say keeps me interested.

Sho explains his plan to the others. When he finishes, he once again heads back to the port where his friends await his rescue.
