Who do you think you are?
Ah...
Saying this girl will win against Hikaru,
is the same as saying that you will win against me.
I won't lose!
No matter who I'm up against,
I'll...
become the greatest coach in the world!
Good morning...
Did you... just hear that?
Mm-hmmm.
Suddenly, the double-bladed shoes tarnish and rust, as the rain traces their edge
kizukeba kutsu wa yogore sabitsuita moroha wo tsutau ame
Our desire never dwindles, waking up only makes us dream again
akogare wa sono mama de yume kara mezameta saki ni wa yume
I hear the sound of your cry, fading into the sky that swallows it whole
kikoeta sono nakigoe kieiru temae no kubosuru sora e
Only to find you curled up, overwhelmed by the depths of your desire
akogare no sono saki e uzukumaru kimi wo mitsukeru tame
Go! Go!
yuke yuke
Let your impulses propel you and soar at unreachable speeds
oitsukenai sokudo de tobe inparusu kasoku shite yuke
Embrace this moment before it fades away
kieta kono toki wo kanjiru tame ni
You were born for this
umarete kitan da
Rise above expectations, carve your destiny as the wind sweeps through your hair
mirai wo tsukande kitaichi wo koete hitai ni fukisasu kaze
In this moment, nobody can deny your brilliance
ima ni mina yo kitto kimi no mabushisa ni daremo ga kizuku darou
Let your voice radiate your worth, glide through the endless sky and rise above everyone's gaze
fusawashii koe de shisen wo oikoshite kokuu wo koete ike
I release your hands
michigaeteku kimi no yubi kara ima
As I watch you take flight

Score 07 Level One Badge Test Kissu Subtitle Project
The next event we enter will be...
the West Japan Middle-Elementary FS Competition.
Unlike the Meiko Cup, there will be skaters from all over West Japan.
What's more, the next competition is being held in Kyoto,
the region with the fiercest competition right now.
If you want to win, you'll need to score eight more points than you did in the Meiko Cup.
Your goal will be to earn 20 points.
20 points...
Yep.
For that, you'll need to perform two different types of double jump.
Mm...
There's the badge test to train for too.
She's still struggling with double jumps,
it makes sense she'd be nerv-
Hm!
What does that face mean?
Actually, I was going to wait a little longer to tell you, but...
On Sunday, I pretty much did one.
A double jump!
I-Inori-san, did you really?
Hehehe, I did!
First she learned the broken leg all on her own, now the double jump too?!
Amazing!
Before I even start coaching her, she's run off and done it!
Ha!
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
Coach.
Ah!
Want me to show you?
For sure!
Inori-san!
I really... did do one.
That's great! Your form's gotten a lot better since the competition!
If you've already made it this far, you'll have it mastered by the competition!
I really did it! I-I wasn't lying about it!
It's okay! I believe you!
I borrowed a tablet today.
Let's review your recordings to see where you can improve and keep that in mind going forward.
Try doing it one more time!
I really was able to do it...
I believe you! You don't need to worry about it!
I got the video!
The important parts are your neck, torso, and legs. You need to make sure to spin all three in sync.
Let's find out what's off and by how how much and then we'll adjust the timing from there.
Alright?
Okay.
Your neck and shoulders are moving with the same timing,
but your legs are lagging behind, see?
I'll give it another shot!
One more time!
Yaaa!
Her mistakes... keep getting worse...
How about we call it here and practice for the badge test instead?
I want to keep going.
Kids my age should naturally be able to do these jumps.
She's rushing.
Inori-san's desire to grow is so strong that she also strongly blames herself for being behind.
Inori-san.
Yes.
It's a fact that Kamisaki and the rest already have long careers.
You're building up that experience now, so you can take your time.
If there are times you can't do something, that's fine.
You don't need to rush.
The time you spend overcoming today's hurdles will help you break through future walls.
It'll help in the future...
Yup!
Coach Tsukasa, it's amazing how you can always say something to make me feel better!
So you feel better? That's a relief.
No, I shouldn't let myself feel relieved.
If Inori-san keeps going at this pace, I'll need to push myself harder to keep up with her.
Ah, but any further is...
Ah!
Me too! Me too!
C-Coach?
Ah, nevermind, it's fine.
That's right. I'm rushing too.
At this stage, I need to help Inori-san achieve her goals without forgetting to impart the essentials.
This conversation has helped me see what I was lacking.
Inori-san is teaching me as well.
I don't want to lose to Inori-san, so I'd better grow some more myself!
Inori-san!
Yes!
I won't lose to you!
Eh?
You can dress heavier, you know? You'll catch a cold.
The level one exam starts at 8:00pm, right?
Yeah, it looks like the level seven exam will be held today as well.
Where are you, Ema?!
Ahh! Sorry~! Sorry~!
Sorry for being too cute~.
Eh?
Oh? Aren't you Kamoto Suzu-chan?
Last year's Novice B2.
Hello there~. I'm Kamoto Suzu~.
Two?
You're from Kyoto, aren't you? What are you doing here?
The second best skater, right after Kamisaki.
Umm...
Sorry, umm-
Huh?
Have you seen any elementary-to-middle-school-aged girls walking around here alone?
Hm?
Ah, earthworms!
The way they wriggle really calms me down!
It sure would be nice if Coach could learn to love earthworms too.
Oh?
Pigeons.
Ahh!
A pigeon master?
That girl sure is amazing.
There are so many of them and she's not even scare-
I-I've got to save her!
There she is!
Inori-san?
Defeat
Thanks for helping me look for her.
Don't worry about it. It's natural to help someone in trouble.
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Jakuzure Yuudai from Kyoto's Rengecha FSC.
Over here is Yamato Ema, she's here for the level one exam.
Level one... just like me!
Thank you dearly, Inori-chan. You were so valiant out there.
V-Valia-what?
You're usually so easy to deal with, don't disappear on me like that.
More importantly, when are you going to stop holding me!
Geez, you can't do that!
If you pick up a cutie like me and then carry me around like I'm just a bag or something...
Jackie-sensei.
Hm?
You're supposed to ask "What'll happen then?"
Wh-What'll happen then?
Then...
cute little me will puff up with rage!
Hmph!
Oh no! That'd be a disaster!
Come on.
Let's go get you registered.
You don't need to carry me for that!
He's so used to dealing with grade schoolers...
Amazing!
All right, let's begin the level one test.
First up, we'll be testing your ability to perform a single Salchow.
Go ahead and line up for me.
Ema~! Go get 'em~!
Inori-san's doing great staying calm!
Good, next!
Her jump was so smooth it looked like she was going in slow motion.
It was just a single spin, but... it felt like I was watching Hikaru-chan.
She makes a single spin seem like a simple task.
I'm level one now!
Now I can finally enter a level one competition.
I'll be doing level seven free skating, though.
But more importantly, everyone was looking at me with faces saying "She's so cute!".
I bet everyone is thinking, "I hope she doesn't go back to Kyoto!".
I doubt it.
Well, I'm glad everything worked out.
Um, are you going back to Kyoto right away?
No, we're planning to skate here today and at the Minatoku rink for a bit tomorrow as well.
We'll be quiet so we don't get in anyone's way.
Then... if you're okay with it...
Tomorrow, can I borrow a bit of your time?
Eh?
I want you to help me understand how you teach jumping.
W-W-W-Wait a minute!
Don't bother coaches from other clubs!
Right now, Rengecha's the strongest club in all of Japan!
You can't just casually ask them for help!
But that's exactly why I want to ask.
You're too loud!
Listen, strong clubs like that spend a lot of time researching the best instruction methods.
You can't just ask them to hand those methods over...
I'll do whatever I can in order to improve myself.
Because athletes only get one shot.
Huh?
Sure!
You're fine with that?
Good morning.
Inori-ha~n!
To meet with cute little me again, you're quite lucky, aren't you!
Y-Yeah...
Inori-han, was my cute presence yesterday so powerful...
Really, thank you so much for this.
you just couldn't forget and had to see me again?
Don't mention it, I appreciate how straightforward you were.
Hey, let's all take a picture.
I think we should share knowledge when we can.
Oka~y!
Besides, I also understand how you feel.
I'll send you a copy too, Inori-han.
I wanted Ema to take part in next month's West Japan Competition at the first level too.
Thanks!
But she had a fever and wasn't able to make it for the badge test in Kyoto.
So that's why you came all the way to Nagoya.
Ema's the first and only student I've taught from the beginner level.
She's got a true sense for skating and I want others to recognize that.
Hah...
S-Senpai!
I completely understand that feeling!
Let's both put our all into this!
What are you doing, yelling in that horribly fake Kansai dialect?
How is it?
Hmm, it's definitely hard to look for areas of improvement in kids I'm not coaching.
I end up just admiring them, like "Wow, she's good."
How long's it been since she started?
Almost four months now.
Four months?
And her skating is already this stable...
You've worked hard, haven't you?
Good job.
Man, your skating back there was pretty good.
Your landings are graceful and when you do it right you sure have a cute smile.
E-Eh? Th-Thank you very much...
It's a nice smile that shows just how much fun you're having.
Isn't that right, Coach Tsukasa?
I want to say that's exactly right, but...
Don't you think you're understating it?
Do you really understand just how amazing Inori-san's smile is?
What's with that face?
Won't you say something? It's scaring me.
Ah, um... No...
You wanted to discuss jumps, right?
Are there any issues in particular you're having right now?
Ah, erm... When she does double jumps, her legs lag a bit behind the rest of her.
I see.
Inori-san is able to get enough speed, but still struggles maintaining enough centrifugal force to keep spinning.
Right before the jump, she unconsciously slows down, so she isn't able to put everything into her spin.
I think if she digs in with the edge a bit more on her last step,
she'll be able to better impart momentum into her rotations.
Uh...
Umm...
Isn't that already good enough?
Huh?
You've already said everything I was thinking. So aren't we done here?
Ah...
Should we break here then?
J-Just a little longer...
But you already understand everything, what do you need my help with?
Eh? Uhhh...
Like a special training method for single skating?
I wish I had one of those!
Ah... but I've got no experience in competitive singles.
I only ever did ice dancing.
And I didn't even start that until I was twenty.
Twenty?
So I can't help but worry and worry more!
Am I teaching things right?!
You don't sound like you lack confidence!
Actually, you seem to be brimming with it!
But!
There's no reason for you to be anxious, is there?
Huh?
Coach, you may have only done ice dancing,
but you've got a good eye, don't you?
Eye?
Ema, could you do a double Salchow for me?
Ema-chan can even do a double Salchow.
Looking at that, are there any comments you could give?
As your senpai, I'd like to give you a little self-confidence boost.
Huh? Self-confidence?
It's fine, just tell me if you saw any points for improvement?
Well, let's see...
Her mid-air and landing were both beautiful.
However, it seems like she's not using all of the momentum she builds in the run up.
If she can keep her head steady through the cross, it should work better.
All of the momentum? Meaning?
Hm, how do I put it?
When I picture how she should look at each step, there's a discrepancy.
Most likely, in the cross before the wind-up her head is tilting inwards.
If she focuses on keeping it fixed, she should be able to push down on the ice more firmly.
Heeh.
Heeh?
I look for what needs to be fixed too, but I couldn't give that detailed an analysis from watching it just one time.
Seems like your experience ice dancing has given you an eye for following the movements of your partner.
Not everyone has that ability, you know?
Ability?
Maybe the biggest issue you have, Coach Tsukasa, is that you don't believe in yourself?
That's just my take, though.
Tsukasa, the only thing you lack is time.
The biggest issue you have is that you don't believe in yourself.
You might be right.
Well, I'm sure we each have our own worries,
but if we take our time and keep on keepin' on, it'll work out, won't it?
Yes! Keep on keepin' on!
When you say it like that it just sounds like "burning on!"
Inori-han, forgive me,
but Kyoto weeps from my absence, so I must return.
Well then, stay well!
Don't leave me behind!
One day I'll definitely pass the level seven exam.
Hm?
I'll do my best to be a rival to you and Hikaru-chan.
Let's do it! A skating beauty battle!
You shouldn't be focusing on just Suzu.
By the time you've risen up to level seven, Ema will be there too.
This upcoming West Japan Competition will be her first battle with her future rivals,
and we'll be aiming to win it.
Let's both give it our all!
No.
Hm?
We'll win even if we don't give our all.
It's easier to make it through a tough situation if you don't need to try that hard.
But I do think we're a pretty formidable opponent.
You'll be surprised how much we've grown the next time we meet, so look forward to it!
Bring it on!
That's right. Self confidence isn't some thing you receive from others.
I've got to trust in myself over and over again.
No matter what happens, it's your weapon, your strength.
Use it to fuel your victory!
I'll use this ability to exceed everyone else!
And see whatever it is you're not doing!
I don't want to acknowledge it.
I just want to erase the version of me who can't accomplish her goals.
Take that self confidence you nearly lost and make it your weapon...
One more time...
Look!
She landed the double loop!
Here we are...
Yeah...
Then let's go in.
Ah, Coach Tsukasa and Inori-chan!
Hm?
Today, I'll be the one welcoming you.
A suit...
Wait was I supposed to wear one too?
Nah, it's fine.
I just like to dress up. Don't worry, you're good.
I'll show you the way.
Wai-
Stay still!
There are so many people here.
W-Wow, they even have two skating rinks!
With two of them, I could practice a bunch and never feel cramped!
Shaaa!
Hey you, what's your level?
Um... Uh... I'm level one.
Great! I've found a fellow level one!
I'm Shishido Seira, this will be my first level one contest and my first win!
Nice to meet ya.
W-Win?
I-I'm competing for that too! Let's give it our best out there.
You too?
I see. Do your best to win! Next year!
Ahh!
There are a lot of people around, so please properly look where you're going.
Ah, sorry. You okay?
I swear...
Even in figure skating, they let people as uncouth as you participate.
I'm shocked.
Sh-She's angry!
You can skate?!
Of course I can skate!
I see! Well I'm going to win this level one-
Ahh!
You idiot!
You're going to make people think everyone in our club is like you!
Ah!
It's Rengecha FSC.
There's the Nedefuji triplets and Kamoto Suzu.
In order to reach the senior level nationals,
I've got to beat all these tough-looking competitors.
I wanna win!
Hm?
Other than Ema-chan, the beginner and level one area over there is nothing but kindergartners.
So that's what a truly strong club looks like.
It's fine! Relax, relax!
Coach.
We've still got a bit of time before the exam for the level ones starts.
Once you've warmed up, let's do a song on the ground.
Grab a yoga mat... and your skating shoes, just in case.
Yes!
Uhh, yoga mat and skate shoes...
Ah, maybe they're in the carry bag.
Huh?
The carry bag is... huh?
No way... did someone take ours by accident?
Let's see... When I got here...
I heard them say to put my stuff in here, then...
I put the yoga mat and backpack right here...
I didn't have it with me when I came in.
I must have forgotten it somewhere!
