Episode 10: Unlike You Wannabe Nobles

Unlike You Wannabe Nobles (エセ貴族とは違って, Ima, Watashi ni Dekiru Koto o) is the tenth episode of the The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs anime series.

Plot
Despite getting a new airbike named Schwert, Leon is distraught about the promotion he's called and the unnecessary attention it's brought to him. He's reminded, however, about the upcoming school trip, and out of the five locations to choose from, he decides to take the location where an item he recieves a Battle Charm. Not too long after this, the passenger ship he's riding on is taken over by the Principality of Fanoss leading to Angie being taken as the sole hostage. In retaliation, Leon riles up the students to have them help him fight against the Principality of Fanoss and their swarm of monsters under their control.

Summary
Outside of the Holfort Academy, Leon and Luxion check out the new airbike Leon received from Clarice named Schwert. Its translated name means sword, and Leon immediately starts to embrace it affectionately, but Luxion proclaims that he'll mod it now.



Later in the day, Raymond and Daniel try and cheer up a dour Leon sitting outside in the courtyard on a bench. Although Leon has a greater chance of getting married, he realizes that it's over status than anything else. It's then mentioned that the school trip is coming up, which took place in the original Otome game as a way to grow closer with your romantic interest. For Leon's choice, he chose the floating southern island where one of the Prince's Entourage Chris was located. However, what Leon was interested in most was the item there, and both Brad and Daniel think that while he's there, he should make amends with both Angie and Livia.



That night on a luxury passenger ship, Leon and Luxion briefly discuss their plans for when they reach their destination. They also notice Angie and Livia on the boat and see a haughty woman named Deirdre boast about herself to her group. Also, Chris ticked off Leon with his crowd of ladies and had him wishing that he'd go after Livia already, who was deep in her thoughts. Down in the engine room, Angie's former groupies follow the orders of someone to toss out a pair of smoking sticks outside one of the windows there. Eventually, the ship arrives at its destination, and Livia laments how alone she is there and meets with Leon and Angie at a temple. A shrine maiden informs the group that the shrine is for marriage and hears that Leon, Livia, and Angie make an offering and pray to the temple. Internally, Leon hopes that both ladies find suitable partners for themselves, and in the end, they're given a unique charm by the shrine maiden. Incidentally, this was the item that Leon was after and had pulled a lot of strings to reach the destination spot to get a hold of said charm. Opening the packets that contain the charms, Livia gets a blue charm, Angie a red charm, and Leon gets a charm called the Battle Charm. It's a special item that enhances close-quarter combat abilities and increases physical attributes. Elated that the group was satisfied with their charms, the shrine maiden loved their charms and figured they prayed for their friendship, but their moods seemed contrary.

The following day, the ship leaves the island and Luxion notes that Leon most certainly got the Battle Charm so he could get the Holy Bracelet from the dungeon. It was also where Marie was at with the same intention as Leon. On the other hand, Leon is hopeful that if Marie thoroughly played the game, she'd avoid the war route. On another ship, a red-eyed female notes how it's nearly time. Back on the deck, Chris approaches Leon and suggests they have a sword duel leading into a bit of a detrimental conversation about Chris' swordplay. Just then an alarm is set off and a large swarm of monsters approaches the ship; Leon notices the crest on the monsters as one from the Principality of Fanoss. Before Leon could give the orders to retaliate to Luxion, a monster ship appears and he's then joined by Livia and Angie. The red-eyed female is recognized as Princess Hertrude Sera Fanoss by Angie, and Hertrude gives a projected message to the ship's occupants. It entails that the Fanoss Kingdom declares war on the Holfort Kingdom and that the ship's occupants surrender. As Angie is distraught by the turn of events, Leon wonders where he went wrong to trigger this.



With the ship's occupants gathered on the deck of the ship surrounded by Fanoss soldiers, a man by the name of Gelatt introduces himself to them all. He divides them into two groups where the ones who are ranked baron and up will be taken in as hostages while the others they have no interest in. Approaching Gelatt, Angie gives her name to him and demands that only she be taken hostage while everyone else is left alone. Gelatt agrees to this proposal and despite Leon wanting to intervene, he's stopped by two students. Because of his insolence, Gelatt has the two students who stopped Leon to beat him up and they reluctantly do so. Although Angie pleaded for Gelatt to order the two students to stop, Gelatt refuses and then has her board the ship. As this happens, Leon is knocked out by a student.



Onboard the Fanoss ship, Angie talks with Hertrude with Gelatt in attendance. Angie discusses matters with Hertrude about her intentions to start a war with the Holfort kingdom and how only two students stood up for her when she was taken away. On Leon's side, he's imprisoned on the passenger ship and Livia was there as well, distraught that she failed to protect Angie and cannot get Leon out of his predicament. Chris then appears and informs them that Angelica was the only one taken hostage while the rest will die within an hour, hence he asks for Leon's help. However, Leon refuses because their peers refused to step forward to help Angie, and realizing the futility of his efforts, Chris tries to leave, but is stopped by Leon. He then clarifies that if he's going to go against the Fanoss invaders he'd want everyone else to help as well. Afterward, Chris pleads with his student peers to rise up and fight against the Fanoss invaders only for them to vehemently reject his plea. Firing off a shotgun in the air, Leon appears with Livia by his side and gives his own speech to ask his peers to help. In his speech, he calls them all "Wannabe Nobles", which triggers the nerve of Deirdre Fou Roseblade. This leads to an argument between Leon and Deirdre, which leads to Leon calling out the noble students for their riding on the ancestor's success for their own benefits. The end result of this is that the students become riled up enough to want to face off against their captors and Deirdre becomes infatuated with him.

Within the ship's hangar, Leon is seen off by Chris and Livia, while Hertrude plays a Magical Flute that controls the monsters outside.
