Akio quotes from Trinity Seven

Akio

You know, this pisses me off. We travel halfway around the world to stop a Breakdown Phenomenon, and find another one waiting for us when we get home.

Akio

Of course things would get interesting just as I decided to take a nap.

Akio

That girl, she would do the same thing as her founder, wouldn't she?

Levi

That's how it's gonna be?

Akio

Oh, do you really want to get into it with me, Levi?

Levi

I like these intense plot twists. They really get me going.

Akio

You're damn right. I've always secretly hoped for the opportunity to pummel a little ninja.

Mira

You have the rather fortunate ability of somehow copying the magic of other mages.

Arata

Well yeah, but it doesn't always work because of some rule about processes or something like that.

Mira

That's my point. You can only figure it out in practice. So you're going to fight Akio.

Akio

That's right buddy, and I want you to make an attempt to take my favorite spell, Mantra Enchant. Let's get down to it.

Arata

Whoa, wait wait wait! I still don't know what process means.

Mira

I know and you're going to need to figure it out sooner than later, or you're going to die.

Akio

Here I come, you better get ready.

Arata

Isn't this a dangerous way to go about teaching me?

Akio

Hey, get back here!

Akio

[in a flashback] Listen Mira, you have been blessed with such powerful magic. You might as well own it proudly. Use it with confidence.

Mira

[narrating] Akio's words took root in my heart that day. What she said made a lot of sense to me. I wanted to be more open about my power and I knew it would earn me respect. So that's how it went, more or less. I wanted to own my power and fight for justice, to take responsibility. And it just felt right.

Mira

We'll tell you the whole story after we've gotten some rest. Right now, let's get Arata back to his room.

Akio

What's this? Why are you calling your favorite pariah by his name all of a sudden?

Mira

[her face turns red] Um, well, I don't know. He is our temporary second-in-command after all.

Akio

Okay Mira, whatever you say.

Akio

Oh Arata, sorry we're a little late. We came to save you.

Mira

Hey Arata, are you still alive?

Arin

Arata, what? You called him by name.

Mira

So? What's wrong with that?
