The Other Side of the Sky - Chapter 3: A Light for Lost Souls - Episode 1

Elmott tells Mr. Bertrand that he believes the delinquents just need to be reminded of their original goal upon entering the academy: to become great mages. (Captain) and Lyria ask around town to learn more about the problem students.

---

It's the day after Vyrn and Tsubasa began forging the bonds of friendship.

Elmott is talking to Mr. Bertrand about how to handle the delinquent students.

Elmott: I feel like they're wandering out in the pitch-black darkness...

Elmott: And they can't tell whether they're moving forward or backward. So they just go down the easier path.

Elmott: What they need is to turn in the right direction. Then they can really start racing ahead. They've got all the passion they need.

Elmott: That's why I figured we teachers should set up some goals for them.

Elmott: So I went around to talk to their guardians...

Elmott: According to them, pretty much any kid who enters this school enrolls hoping to become a great mage.

Elmott: All we have to do is help them remember that.

Mr. Bertrand: Hm... It's just as you say, Elmott.

Mr. Bertrand: We teachers must be the light that guides them.

Elmott: Well, that's way easier said than done.

Mr. Bertrand: Hohoho...

Elmott: Huh? Did I say something funny?

Mr. Bertrand: No, it just seems that my judgment was correct after all.

Mr. Bertrand: It's clear that you're dedicated to your students.

Elmott: Heh, don't get carried away. I'm just doing what feels right.

Elmott: This isn't about me being a teacher. I just can't leave kids like that to the dogs.

As the two teachers continue their discussion, (Captain) and Lyria are also in pursuit of a solution.

They consult with some old friends.

Grea: We've given it a lot of thought and tried talking with them...

Anne: But they wouldn't pay any attention.

Owen: They seem to think of the princess and Grea as if they were beings from another world.

Owen: So no matter what the princess says, they won't listen.

Lyria: It's really tough to talk to them, isn't it?

Hanna: Given that they refuse to interact with us, being too heavy-handed could backfire.

Hanna: But (Captain) is in a bit of a different position.

1. We'll handle this!

Choose: We'll handle this!

Hanna: That's very reassuring. I'm much obliged.

Lyria: First we have to build a relationship where they'll feel comfortable talking to us.

Anne: Hm...

Grea: ...

Anne: Ah, I know! What if we find something we have in common with them?

Grea: Yeah... Good idea. We became friends because we like the piano.

Anne: Heehee, that's right!

Owen: Then what about gearcycles?

Lyria: Oh, you mean the weird things they ride.

Grea: Heehee... Weird?

Hanna: We can also try asking around town, since they grew up here. We might uncover something that way.

Having received ideas from Anne and Grea, (Captain) and Lyria head toward the town.

What effect did the town's recovery have on them? The crew seeks out any hint that might lead to an answer...
