They Thought I Was Dumb — I'm Not Even Human (DUBBED) Full Chinese Drama

Transcript

00:00:03Seven years ago, I was only three. You kicked me and mom out of the family, just because they couldn't

00:00:08speak quickly.

00:00:09And now, you actually want me back?

00:00:14That's right. The Sterling Air is nothing but a pathetic mute. I'm a disgrace to the family, right?

00:00:20And that is why. You all thought I totally deserved to be dumb, right?

00:00:25The Sterlings only produces geniuses, but you? You had a mute for a son. He's turning us into a complete

00:00:31laughingstock in Solar Raid.

00:00:32When my mom died last year, you didn't even flinch. And so because of that, I'm done with this family,

00:00:38and done with my dad.

00:00:40But now out of nowhere, you're talking about family ties, and saying you miss me? Do you actually think I'm

00:00:46nothing more than a dumb kid?

00:00:48Southor's birthday is the day after tomorrow. The Sterling family will be at his banquet, and that's still the family's

00:00:53heir apparent on paper.

00:00:55If I don't show up, Southor would take it as a sign of disrespect. That's the only real reason behind

00:01:02all of this.

00:01:05I've been away for seven years. I can't find my way around. Where's the main hall?

00:01:10Well, if it isn't the great heir coming back, you're the stupid mute the Sterling's tossed out. What's with all

00:01:15the hand-waving? I don't understand it.

00:01:18Why the hell are you staring at me?

00:01:20You have no idea who you're dealing with.

00:01:25I've slaughtered vermants like you in another life.

00:01:33I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't mean it. That was a joke. Your grandpa's right there, and everyone's been

00:01:39expecting you.

00:01:40Everyone in this world only sees me as the pathetic, mute outcast of the Sterling's. If only they knew I'm

00:01:46not one of them.

00:01:47My soul's from another realm. I was Friar Oren. The rivers ran red where I walked. That's why they called

00:01:53me Hollow Friar.

00:01:58Hollow Friar. A thousand javelins have perished by your hand. You won't get an easy death. The Underworld's waiting for

00:02:06you!

00:02:07I walk the path of mercy, a journey that leads towards the Gate of Enlightenment. Yet you fixate only on

00:02:13my wrath, but never see the compassion beneath.

00:02:17Come.

00:02:22Allow me to show it to you properly.

00:02:32By the grace of this holy light, the javelins were parasites leeching off the villagers down the mountain. Only by

00:02:39purging your whole family can suffer and be entered.

00:02:41You'll never comprehend this truth. By the grace of this holy light, mortals can never see. This is the path

00:02:50of sovereignty. If no divine hand guides me, then I shall guide myself.

00:02:56How can I take my spirit?

00:03:12I will never see you in the dark, mortals can never see. This is the world. I will never see

00:03:17you in the dark, but I will never see you in the dark.

00:03:26The fear is unworthy of the legacy of our name.

00:03:30Start driving.

00:03:37But even in her death, Mom told me to come back.

00:03:41But this is beneath me.

00:03:42Yet here I stand.

00:03:44This time, I'm here to make things right.

00:03:47You will grovel before her tomb.

00:03:48Mark my words!

00:04:08To be continued...

00:04:26You're getting a sign language teacher for this mute!

00:04:28This is ridiculous!

00:04:32It's been seven years since I last saw your brother.

00:04:35Don't you think we should catch up?

00:04:37Prince South Horse Banquet is the day after tomorrow.

00:04:40If any disagreement between him and us becomes even slightly visible,

00:04:45it would tarnish the dignity of our entire family.

00:04:47How can you be so dense?

00:04:49It's obvious that you're not thinking!

00:04:51But I...

00:04:52That's okay.

00:04:53Please hold your temper.

00:04:59You know, Jude, in all honesty, we've wronged your mother and you all these years.

00:05:06Yet we must ask for your understanding.

00:05:08It's only natural for a great family to encounter and to endure many complications.

00:05:20It's not your fault that you were born mute.

00:05:23You are and always will be part of the Sterling bloodline.

00:05:26From now on, you will be living here with us.

00:05:30He can't live here!

00:05:31But Dad!

00:05:31The Sterling can't be broken!

00:05:32That's enough!

00:05:34Jude, kneel and show your gratitude!

00:05:38Wait, there's no need for that.

00:05:40It is, after all, the right thing to do.

00:05:50All these years, you kept me like a dog.

00:05:52And yet, do you have the nerve to call this mercy?

00:05:57What?

00:05:58What is he saying?

00:06:00Well...

00:06:01What does he mean by that?

00:06:03You kept me like a dog all these years.

00:06:05Jude, how dare you speak like that?

00:06:08A dog!

00:06:10At least he knows his place.

00:06:12Must you twist every single thing so viciously?

00:06:14The only reason why I'm even offering you a place is because you're my grandson and we're bound by blood.

00:06:20So you don't have to wander out there like a stray.

00:06:23I am the prodigy that Heaven itself ordained.

00:06:26This isn't your mercy.

00:06:27It's my mercy to let you kneel.

00:06:30I didn't come back here to join your family.

00:06:33I'm here to get justice for my mother.

00:06:36Every last sterling should grovel before my mom's tomb.

00:06:41What?

00:06:41What did he just say to me?

00:06:48What did he just say to me?

00:06:51What does he mean by that?

00:06:55He's telling us that it's already late and he wishes to rest.

00:06:59I'm sorry, but I can't afford to lose this job.

00:07:05I can't afford to lose this job.

00:07:07It's late.

00:07:08Time passed by so quickly.

00:07:09Lydia?

00:07:11Take him to his room.

00:07:12Right away, sir.

00:07:14Sir, this way please.

00:07:17Not even a bow?

00:07:18Did the countryside erase every bit of your manners as well?

00:07:24You're in no position to tell me that.

00:07:30He says he'll remember to bow next time.

00:07:34My silent cultivation will end in two days.

00:07:37Otherwise, I curse you to hell.

00:07:38Hold it.

00:07:40At the prince's upcoming banquet, every noble will be watching.

00:07:44Prince Althor values cultural refinement above everything else.

00:07:49Also, if I'm not mistaken, the banquet will include a literary duel among the noble heirs.

00:07:56Grandpa?

00:07:57Why are you wasting your breath on a peasant?

00:07:59Does he even know the classical virtues?

00:08:01Or the way scholars duel?

00:08:03Keep your mouth shut.

00:08:06I am well aware that you were raised without any sense of culture or education.

00:08:11That is why a tutor will begin instructing you in calligraphy and classic studies starting tomorrow morning.

00:08:18If fortune favors you, the banquet guests will go easy on you.

00:08:22I wonder if the art of carving spells into the flesh of your enemies might somehow be counted as calligraphy.

00:08:29Did you hear what I said?

00:08:30Tomorrow your lessons will begin.

00:08:32I expect you to study hard.

00:08:34Don't humiliate us.

00:08:39What's he up to?

00:08:40Huh? He knows calligraphy?

00:08:41That's impossible.

00:08:42But he's mute.

00:08:44He only went to some charity school.

00:08:46He had no proper education.

00:08:50These are the five principles.

00:08:52Raise.

00:08:53Press.

00:08:53Hook.

00:08:54Support.

00:08:55And resist.

00:08:56Fingers firm.

00:08:57Your palm must remain hollow.

00:08:59Your wrist must be level as water.

00:09:01And the brush straight as a ruler.

00:09:03Do you understand?

00:09:04It will take you a lifetime to grasp these five principles.

00:09:07So this is how the five principles my mother taught me actually work.

00:09:11This requires decades of dedicated practice.

00:09:15And yet, he's only ten years old.

00:09:21Ugh.

00:09:22Pearl.

00:09:23Keen as a falcon sigh.

00:09:24Fierce as a rearing stallion.

00:09:26What a masterpiece.

00:09:28Cast into the mud.

00:09:29My son's master calligraphy.

00:09:31His brush source.

00:09:32Hitting the paper like a war horse.

00:09:35Yet, they dare to.

00:09:41Mock its radiance.

00:09:52A pearl cast into the mud.

00:09:55Yet, they dare to mock its radiance.

00:09:58Why does this handwriting look so familiar to me?

00:10:01He's basically calling us ignorant.

00:10:03He's implying he's the pearl.

00:10:05And we're ignorant to not see his true worth.

00:10:08Absolutely ridiculous.

00:10:10What an arrogant kid.

00:10:12Go home and rest.

00:10:14As you wish.

00:10:20This writing feels so familiar.

00:10:24Where have I seen this before?

00:10:27Benjamin.

00:10:28Wake up.

00:10:29Look at this.

00:10:30This one is the princess treasured fragment.

00:10:33Charlemagne surviving work.

00:10:34He only gave us three days.

00:10:36Observe it carefully.

00:10:36Or our relatives will take it.

00:10:39Mother, what is this?

00:10:40I've never seen this before.

00:10:42That's Carolingian minuscule.

00:10:44It's created thanks to Emperor Charlemagne.

00:10:46It means clear graceful and it's-

00:10:49How dare you take this?

00:10:51The princess treasure is far above your station.

00:10:53It is not for you to see.

00:10:56Someone as wretched as you.

00:10:58Shouldn't even aspire to that.

00:11:00I'm sorry.

00:11:05Benjamin.

00:11:05How much did you memorize?

00:11:11Carolingian minuscule.

00:11:14But that kid is only ten years old.

00:11:17Could it be that he is the prodigy?

00:11:19The prophecy spoke of?

00:11:28The study.

00:11:29They managed to make it look almost respectable.

00:11:35Allow me to educate you on the proper ways to handle scholarly tools.

00:11:41This exquisite mahogany desk cost no less than a million and was crafted by the best hands.

00:11:46Behold, our severus inkstand, swan feather quills, and flemish parchment.

00:11:52Just so you know, these few treasures alone prove that our family's impeccable taste has spanned generations.

00:12:00Did that amuse you?

00:12:03It's nothing but a fake parchment.

00:12:06What swan feather is she talking about?

00:12:08This is nothing but dog hair.

00:12:10These are just cheap bristles, created for cheap men to use.

00:12:14But I'll have to admit, this inkstand is genuine.

00:12:18Two out of four are fakes.

00:12:19That's truly remarkable.

00:12:20Such impeccable taste.

00:12:23He can't even name these treasures.

00:12:25What a savage.

00:12:28Sir, let's pray that your brain survives your tutoring tomorrow.

00:12:33It would be unwise to waste your grandpa's generosity.

00:12:37Also, as for the tutor that they hired for you, he is one of the great minds.

00:12:43Be sure not to waste it.

00:12:45And remember to treasure this opportunity tomorrow.

00:12:55This sterling household is full of illiterate masters and bowing, groveling servants.

00:13:01They boast of noble heritage and impeccable taste.

00:13:07You've gotta be kidding me.

00:13:08Had I not been bound by my oath, a solemn vow of silence, I would have slayed them alive with

00:13:16my words.

00:13:19Mrs. Wilkins, is he asleep now?

00:13:22What's wrong?

00:13:23He suddenly slapped me right after I showed him the way to the main hall.

00:13:27Please stand up for me, Mrs. Wilkins.

00:13:29That mute brat attacked me.

00:13:30What?

00:13:31How dare he?

00:13:32Don't worry.

00:13:33I'll inform Mr. Sterling.

00:13:35Thank you, Mrs. Wilkins.

00:13:36He's nothing but a lowly mutt from the fields.

00:13:39And he dares to strike those above him?

00:13:41Just wait.

00:13:42We'll see what'll happen until Mr. Clay tutors him tomorrow.

00:13:46They'll surely beg for mercy.

00:13:49Mr. Clay?

00:13:50Are you talking about Mr. Henry Clay, who used to mentor Master Sean?

00:13:54Yes.

00:13:54That was him.

00:13:55His temper is legendary.

00:13:56And wow.

00:13:57He's in it for tomorrow.

00:13:59I've never met Mr. Clay myself.

00:14:01He's the literary titan of Solorane.

00:14:07Eight long years of total silence.

00:14:09To strip away the layers of mortal vanity.

00:14:13To see the world as it truly is.

00:14:15And touch the cosmic truth.

00:14:17One more day.

00:14:18And I'll finally achieve the great perfection.

00:14:21Eight long years of total silence.

00:14:23This is killing me.

00:14:29There's something divine in the air.

00:14:31And it is definitely coming somewhere near.

00:14:34I can feel that hunger.

00:14:36Like a black hole.

00:14:38His cultivation is draining every ounce of life from the whole surrounding region.

00:14:42I was fortunate to withdraw my energy in time.

00:14:45Or the devouring force would have claimed me.

00:14:49Your highness.

00:14:50That's Mr. Jensen in the council chamber.

00:14:52This cannot wait.

00:14:54Your highness.

00:14:55There's been a disaster.

00:14:56Mr. Jensen collapsed in seclusion.

00:14:58He coughed up blood and was badly hurt.

00:15:00He did what?

00:15:02A madman.

00:15:03He has risen in Dawnshire.

00:15:05The land's very essence is being sucked dry by his immense power.

00:15:14His power surpasses mortal limits.

00:15:16Teetering of demonic?

00:15:18How is it possible that such might still walks the earth in our era?

00:15:26I've never come this close to a being of such overwhelming power.

00:15:30I wonder if I can be ever truly worthy enough to witness him fully unveiled in all his glory.

00:15:37Toward the Sterlings?

00:15:38What kind of being?

00:15:40What kind of power could devour the energy of an entire city with such force?

00:15:45It's heading towards the Sterlings?

00:15:47Unbelievable.

00:15:48How could they possibly be connected to that existence?

00:15:51I am less than a mere worm when standing before such overwhelming power.

00:15:55I won't even think of seeking him out.

00:15:57Not with powers such as his.

00:16:00A dupedom would be a mere trifle.

00:16:02A petty price to pay.

00:16:03If it means I could stand beside true power.

00:16:11I am almost there.

00:16:13Soon enough, my old power will ignite.

00:16:27This boy is plain looking and mute.

00:16:29I'm Henry.

00:16:31You're Jude Sterling?

00:16:32Your family paid a fortune to have me educate you.

00:16:36Or rather, to teach you the alphabet.

00:16:40If he weren't born as Sterling, he'd never get to encounter a literary genius like me.

00:16:46And yet he has the audacity to look displaced.

00:16:48Unbelievable.

00:16:51Can you even memorize just one of these books in a single day?

00:16:55Even as a bond would fail.

00:16:57Here are seven books.

00:16:58Choose one.

00:16:59I will drill you for fifteen hours without rest.

00:17:02By the end, you will have fully comprehended at least one entire volume.

00:17:06These are just children's primers.

00:17:08And this is the profound heritage they boast about?

00:17:12Hilarious.

00:17:12I'm well aware that you're a slow learner.

00:17:15And yes, these texts are far beyond your comprehension.

00:17:19But then...

00:17:21Enough with your charades.

00:17:23Hurry.

00:17:23Pick one of these books in front of you.

00:17:27The Iliad.

00:17:35What do you mean by that?

00:17:42Are you saying that not a single one appeals to you at all?

00:17:46Listen, child.

00:17:47These are all...

00:17:49Don't tell me.

00:17:51You actually expect to study them all?

00:17:53Let me tell you.

00:17:54Even ants cannot move mountains.

00:17:56Even two days still won't be enough.

00:17:59Then what do you mean?

00:18:00Stop toying with me.

00:18:01I'm one of Solorane's ten literary titans.

00:18:04Were it not for the Sterlings, you...

00:18:16This pressure...

00:18:17And this flow...

00:18:19Is he really ten years old?

00:18:20How can he write this when it takes decades to master?

00:18:24I had already mastered all of this.

00:18:26By the time I was three.

00:18:27Lines flow free.

00:18:28No rigid rows.

00:18:29Grace found in chaos.

00:18:30Ball strokes tans.

00:18:32The italic script.

00:18:33Do you already know that?

00:18:34Gothic script is neat.

00:18:35Cursive is wild, but italic script?

00:18:37It's perfect balance, controlled yet elegant.

00:18:40To truly reach the mastery of this craft, one must first conquer both Gothic and Cursive styles.

00:18:46Yet somehow...

00:18:47It's fallen into the hands of a mute child.

00:18:52Now you choose silence?

00:18:57A backwater mute?

00:18:59Possessing imperial grade calligraphy?

00:19:01What utter nonsense.

00:19:03It's true.

00:19:03Your writing is impressive.

00:19:05But do you really expect me to believe that you mastered all of these three?

00:19:09I find it hard to believe.

00:19:12Very well.

00:19:13Let's see you prove it.

00:19:18In Plutarch's parallel lives, which Roman general boldly crossed the Rubicon declaring,

00:19:24The die is cast.

00:19:25Do you know that?

00:19:26Now tell me, against whom did he wage this great civil war?

00:19:33Julius Caesar.

00:19:40He waged his civil war against Pompey the Great, once his own ally.

00:19:45And his partner?

00:19:47Crassus and Pompey.

00:19:50You've...

00:19:50You've already memorized parallel lives!

00:19:52I can't believe it!

00:19:53He's mastered this through and through.

00:19:57Finish this line.

00:19:58From Cicero.

00:19:59O Tempora.

00:20:00O Moris.

00:20:01From Cotillinarians.

00:20:02Denouncing Catelyn's conspiracy.

00:20:04Which speech was it?

00:20:05The first Cotillinarian.

00:20:06He breathes the classics.

00:20:09Fortune favors the bold.

00:20:11Whose famous words are these?

00:20:12Write it down.

00:20:14Virgil's Aeneid.

00:20:16Dulce et decorumest.

00:20:17To die for one's country.

00:20:18Pro patria mori.

00:20:21How about the art of living is more like...

00:20:23The wrestlers than the dancers.

00:20:25This boy's a real prodigy.

00:20:27Who first refused to fight in the Iliad?

00:20:30Achilles.

00:20:31The greatest warrior.

00:20:33He chose pride over war.

00:20:36Who leads Aeneas through the underworld?

00:20:40The Sibyl of Cule.

00:20:46What you've done goes well beyond the limits of the syllabus.

00:20:50This is truly next level Homeric wisdom.

00:20:56I'm unworthy to be your teacher.

00:20:58Your wisdom and talent are far beyond mine.

00:21:00You've mentioned earlier that you've memorized all these by the age of three.

00:21:05I believe that.

00:21:06Your brilliance is on another level.

00:21:08You should be the one teaching me.

00:21:10What three years old?

00:21:11I wasn't talking about this life.

00:21:13I'm talking about a life long ago.

00:21:17I must be off.

00:21:20I was a fool to scorn the whispers of wisdom.

00:21:23Divine wisdom met my eyes today.

00:21:26Jude Sterling.

00:21:27After tomorrow, your name will echo across the entire city.

00:21:31You absolutely have to attend the prince's feast tomorrow.

00:21:34His name will echo across the city.

00:21:37That means tomorrow at the banquet.

00:21:41That will be his defining moment.

00:21:49The italic script.

00:21:52Is this the piece he wrote?

00:21:54Even his italic writing seems to dance on paper.

00:21:57His skills are otherworldly.

00:21:59Crowded with confidence.

00:22:00I'm finding it hard to believe that he's ever been mute.

00:22:04Hello, sir.

00:22:06Frame this.

00:22:07Just like the one from last night.

00:22:09Use a gold frame.

00:22:10Place it in this study.

00:22:13This writing floats gracefully, yet cuts really deep.

00:22:16Sir, such mastery takes decades to achieve.

00:22:19Who could possibly create such artistry?

00:22:44That's true, dad.

00:22:45Mr. Clay refused to instruct him.

00:22:47The servants reported to me that they saw the tutor left Jude's study by noon.

00:22:52Dad, how about we don't let him attend tomorrow?

00:22:55He's going to make fools out of us in front of everyone.

00:22:58This is settled.

00:22:59Enough with that topic.

00:23:01Because the child will have to be there.

00:23:07The wind is howling strangely.

00:23:09That's true.

00:23:09Let me close the door.

00:23:27That recluse again.

00:23:29He resumes his cultivation.

00:23:32I don't know why, but I've been getting this feeling.

00:23:36What is it?

00:23:38I can sense that.

00:23:40Our meeting with the powerful being is drawing near.

00:23:44Are you sure?

00:23:45So Jensen has finally won their approval.

00:23:48What about me?

00:23:50Where does that leave me?

00:23:59Soon.

00:24:00Almost there.

00:24:08Done at last.

00:24:14Trinity Crown.

00:24:15My breakthrough's done.

00:24:16I've transcended.

00:24:18Trinity Convergence achieved at H10.

00:24:20I've matched my past life's peak.

00:24:21Ha ha ha.

00:24:22I read the celestial signs that the Hollow Friar of Legend has returned.

00:24:25Ha ha ha ha.

00:24:26Ha ha ha ha.

00:24:33By the grace of his holy light.

00:24:37What's taking him so long?

00:24:38Where is he?

00:24:39Grandpa.

00:24:40This feast is of the highest importance.

00:24:42Must we really be held up by that mute?

00:24:44Exactly.

00:24:45Nothing will change even if he won't go with us today.

00:24:47She's right, Dad.

00:24:48The other nobles will mock us if we parade a mute in front of everyone.

00:24:51Besides, he's been raised in the countryside.

00:24:54He lacks all cultured grace.

00:24:56Nobles always judge first by one's refinement and wit.

00:24:58He goes.

00:24:59And that's final.

00:25:00But.

00:25:01Grandpa.

00:25:01In just one day, this extraordinary talent has shattered my expectations.

00:25:06I was a fool to scorn the whispers of wisdom.

00:25:09Divine wisdom met my eyes today.

00:25:11You absolutely have to attend the Prince's Feast tomorrow.

00:25:15Ha ha ha ha ha.

00:25:15At this time, perhaps Jude may astonish all the noble guests.

00:25:20The entire Sturly clan and even the Prince.

00:25:24Move it, sir.

00:25:25Hurry.

00:25:26Why do you walk so slowly?

00:25:29Hurry, Jude.

00:25:37All right.

00:25:39Everyone's here.

00:25:39Let's go to the Princess Manor.

00:25:47Sean.

00:25:48All literary elites will attend the Prince's birthday today.

00:25:51Ten years of effort has led you to this moment.

00:25:54It's been far too long.

00:25:55It has finally come.

00:25:56All noble houses will assemble.

00:25:58I expect you to completely stun every single one of them in the scholarly duel.

00:26:02Besides, Mr. Clay is your former mentor.

00:26:05I'm very sure that he will back you up during the duel.

00:26:07Your success in that duel will shine like a favorable light on Mr. Clay in front of the royalty.

00:26:13Ha ha ha ha.

00:26:14Ha ha ha ha.

00:26:15Jude.

00:26:17Today's feast is merely a ceremony.

00:26:19What matters the most is the intellectual contest they will be holding.

00:26:23As I have predicted, your cousin Sean will try to stun everyone.

00:26:27Ten years of effort has led you to this moment.

00:26:29See, when your father retires, your cousin Sean will be the head of the Sterling family.

00:26:34But you are still the Sterling heir's apparent.

00:26:37Your uncle fears your claim.

00:26:39Once Sean gets the position, he'll exile you for sure.

00:26:42Unless the Prince acknowledges you.

00:26:45However, that won't happen.

00:26:47I can't bear the thought of seeing you be exiled once more, Jude.

00:26:52For many years, I've prepared for this moment.

00:26:56Just heed me this once.

00:26:58Starting now, humble yourself.

00:27:01Trail Sean like a servant and remember your place.

00:27:04Today he'll be meeting literary giants.

00:27:07Perhaps you'll even have an audience with the Prince today.

00:27:10Stick close to him, you'll at least get recognized.

00:27:14What's with that smirk?

00:27:18I, Jude Sterling, will bow to no man.

00:27:21Must you always defy me?

00:27:25I, Jude Sterling, will bow to no man.

00:27:28You can speak now!

00:27:32You're not a mute!

00:27:33Indeed, I never was.

00:27:43What do you want from us?

00:27:47Oh, well.

00:27:48You'll know soon enough.

00:27:52Oh, nice to see everybody here.

00:27:56I believe he's here.

00:27:57I'm sorry for being here.

00:28:04Mr. Reeves, thank you for coming.

00:28:06And this must be...

00:28:08He's the literary comment, Philip Reeves.

00:28:12Everyone speaks of you.

00:28:13A true prodigy in literature since your teens.

00:28:15This way, please.

00:28:18So what you're saying is, the Sterling's heir, a mute kid, wields diverse script styles, and by ten has already

00:28:24mastered all the classical works and even outdone you?

00:28:26Huh!

00:28:28That's impossible!

00:28:29Ten years old?

00:28:30He couldn't have mastered that unless he started studying while still in the womb.

00:28:36Or this hearsay.

00:28:38I dismiss it.

00:28:40Honestly, it's a shame that the child cannot speak.

00:28:44Huh?

00:28:45From the Dawnshire Reeves, their lord and rising star, Philip Reeves, here to offer their eternal blessings.

00:28:50Philip Reeves?

00:28:52That reclusive prodigy graces us.

00:28:54He may soon stand among Solorin's literary masters.

00:28:57Ah, my brilliant student at last.

00:29:00Master, I hope you are well.

00:29:06And respects to Mr. Clay and Mr. Turner.

00:29:09He is a true gentleman indeed, bearing of a classical scholar.

00:29:14The house of Sterling has arrived.

00:29:17Coming to wish the prince enduring prosperity and honor.

00:29:20They're finally here.

00:29:22Come, let's go.

00:29:22Let's go greet the Sterling family together.

00:29:25I'll be the one to judge myself what sort of prodigy he truly is.

00:29:28What's so special about the Sterlings?

00:29:30Why would the great scholars greet them?

00:29:32Surely they're not going there to greet that Sean Sterling.

00:29:35He's a complete imbecile!

00:29:36I wonder who.

00:29:37They have no one else but Sean, and he's totally useless.

00:29:40Mr. Sterling, it's been too long.

00:29:42Finally, yesterday was just a warm up.

00:29:45Yet his brilliance was clear even in that brief moment.

00:29:48Today on the grand stage, he will awe the Solorin with this divine presence.

00:29:53I told you Jude, your name will carry like a mighty roar throughout a Solorin.

00:29:58So what if you're mute?

00:30:00Where's Anthony?

00:30:01What's taking so long?

00:30:02No idea.

00:30:03No matter.

00:30:04Let's go in.

00:30:09My reputation truly carries this much weight now.

00:30:12The three literary giants together with these powerful high lords, they're all here just for me.

00:30:17I raised a great son.

00:30:18Only the prince has yet to arrive.

00:30:22Sir Jensen.

00:30:24I have this strange feeling.

00:30:27Me too, your highness.

00:30:29He's getting close.

00:30:31I can sense it.

00:30:33That powerful presence is nearing.

00:30:35It's getting closer by the second.

00:30:38Prince Southar, Mr. Jensen.

00:30:40Where is everyone?

00:30:41The Sterlings are here.

00:30:42Mr. Clay and the other masters went to welcome them.

00:30:45Even the others have followed.

00:30:46The Sterlings?

00:30:50In that case, we shouldn't miss this.

00:30:59Mr. Clay, Mr. Barrett, Mr. Turner, you honor me too much.

00:31:03You flatter me.

00:31:09Dad!

00:31:09What's going on?

00:31:10Dad, what was that?

00:31:13There he is.

00:31:20That's Jude Sterling.

00:31:21He has the dignity of a true gentleman.

00:31:26It's rare for a kid in these times.

00:31:29But wait.

00:31:30Who is Jude?

00:31:31Who is he?

00:31:32They say they cast him out as a child.

00:31:34But that brat has never spoken a word.

00:31:37Sam?

00:31:38The Sterling Butte heir?

00:31:39Jude Sterling's here?

00:31:40They're all gathered here for Jude.

00:31:43We've been waiting for you.

00:31:45Hail to Prince Althor!

00:31:49The Prince has arrived.

00:31:51Hail to Prince Althor!

00:31:52May your highness reign with greatness for millennia!

00:31:55Hail to Prince Althor!

00:31:57May your highness reign with greatness for millennia!

00:32:01Hail to Prince Althor!

00:32:03Hail to Prince Althor!

00:32:07Hey Jude!

00:32:08On your knees!

00:32:09The Prince demands respect!

00:32:11Kneel?

00:32:11The one who should kneel is him!

00:32:17Jude!

00:32:18What are you doing?

00:32:19Stop it!

00:32:20On your knees!

00:32:21This is bad.

00:32:23This is treason!

00:32:24Is he trying to get us all killed?

00:32:42Are you Prince Althor?

00:32:46Are you Prince Althor?

00:32:50Wasn't he mute?

00:32:51What?

00:32:51Why is he speaking?

00:32:52He's not a mute!

00:32:53The grandson!

00:32:54Wasn't he the mute one?

00:32:55How dare you!

00:32:56Get down on your knees for the Prince!

00:32:59We're doomed!

00:33:00Your highness!

00:33:00We renounced him years ago!

00:33:02He's not our kin!

00:33:03We're not related!

00:33:07Step back!

00:33:09But your highness!

00:33:10Step back!

00:33:11As you wish!

00:33:15He never holds back!

00:33:17Rise now!

00:33:18All of you!

00:33:19Thank you your highness!

00:33:20Mr. Jensen and I heard that Mr. Clay brought everyone out here to greet you personally once you arrive!

00:33:27So we thought we had to see what the commotion is all about!

00:33:30There is no need for formalities!

00:33:33Frankly speaking, the only reason I came here was for him!

00:33:37Oh?

00:33:37And what is so special about this young man?

00:33:40The boy commands the brush like an immortal master!

00:33:43Every technique!

00:33:44Aged to perfection!

00:33:45He moves with the grace of masters!

00:33:48A ten year old boy?

00:33:50Like an immortal?

00:33:51Mr. Clay!

00:33:52Your arithmetic is failing you now!

00:33:55Not just that!

00:33:57He's also astonishingly learned!

00:33:59A walking library!

00:34:00A walking library?

00:34:03Mr. Clay!

00:34:04Age must have dulled your mind!

00:34:18I saw it with my own eyes!

00:34:23I warn you not to judge him by his youth!

00:34:25Of all the scholars I've met!

00:34:27He alone possesses the greatest literary genius like a demon!

00:34:36Mr. Clay, I know that you wish to impress the prince today, but this has gone from ambition to outright

00:34:41madness!

00:34:42Don't you think so, huh?

00:34:43Silence!

00:34:43Yes, master!

00:34:47Benjamin!

00:34:48Mr. Clay claims that your grandson is exceptional!

00:34:51Is this all true?

00:34:53No!

00:34:54Careful, your highness!

00:34:55It's clear that rat is putting on an act!

00:34:57Mr. Clay!

00:34:58Must have been tricked by him!

00:34:59John!

00:35:00Shut up!

00:35:00I'm ashamed to be your teacher!

00:35:02You're blind not to see his brilliance!

00:35:04Silence!

00:35:05If you had even a tenth of Jude's talent, you'd dominate the literary world!

00:35:10What?

00:35:11A tenth of his talent?

00:35:12Mr. Clay's gone mad!

00:35:13He lost his senses!

00:35:15How could he even compare that fat water brat to my son?

00:35:21All talk and no proof!

00:35:23Well then, let the literary duels decide!

00:35:25Since Mr. Clay speaks so highly of your abilities,

00:35:28Why don't you fight for your family's honor, Jude Sterling?

00:35:33Represent the house of Sterling?

00:35:35What makes them worthy of my efforts?

00:35:37No way!

00:35:38Absolutely not!

00:35:41He'll humiliate all of us!

00:35:42I'm the genius of our house!

00:35:44The undisputed genius of our generation!

00:35:47I've prepared for this contest for many years!

00:35:50But what about him?

00:35:51A pathetic mute!

00:35:53Why should he take my place?

00:35:54Silence!

00:35:54I won't!

00:35:55Messer, I'm the one!

00:35:57I said be quiet!

00:35:59Sir!

00:36:02Mr. Clay has spoken!

00:36:04You're not even one tenth of Jude's wisdom!

00:36:09Grandpa!

00:36:10But I...

00:36:11My sunset!

00:36:12You will understand!

00:36:16We'll follow the princess' commands!

00:36:18I too believe that Jude can redefine what genius truly means!

00:36:22He'll show everyone!

00:36:23You're just bluffing!

00:36:24What redefine?

00:36:25Ridiculous!

00:36:26They'll just embarrass themselves!

00:36:28I haven't agreed to anything!

00:36:31Please Jude!

00:36:32Will you just do as you're cold?

00:36:39Good!

00:36:40There is just one last thing I want to know!

00:36:43Everyone knows that you are a mute!

00:36:45So why is it...

00:36:46That you can...

00:36:47All of a sudden...

00:36:49Speak now!

00:36:50Tell me!

00:36:50How come you suddenly changed?

00:36:56If you mess this up, that'll be considered as treason!

00:37:04Hmph.

00:37:05It just...

00:37:06Happened suddenly.

00:37:10How peculiar...

00:37:11Must we stand here?

00:37:13My legs are aching.

00:37:15Huh?

00:37:16Did you hear that?

00:37:17Jude Sterling even lacks basic manners!

00:37:20Who would dare complain for loyalty?

00:37:21Take care of snow matters at all!

00:37:23That's because he was raised in the village!

00:37:24He's with a new throne to the mountains!

00:37:26This is embarrassing!

00:37:28Alright, that's enough!

00:37:30Everyone...

00:37:30Let's head to the hall!

00:37:37Everyone...

00:37:37Let's head to the hall!

00:37:45Nobody else has recognized it yet...

00:37:48But I recognized your talent from the moment we met the other night!

00:37:52We owe you and your mother for what both of you endured!

00:37:55But now I need to rely on you!

00:37:58The Prince has kept our family at a distance for years!

00:38:02We need to regain his attention!

00:38:03But I'm not a Sterling!

00:38:05Why do you think I would help you?

00:38:06Your last name's Sterling!

00:38:08If it's about the name...

00:38:10Then...

00:38:10I'd be happy to change it now!

00:38:13Call me...

00:38:14Oren!

00:38:28I am begging you!

00:38:31In one condition...

00:38:33Just name it...

00:38:35Mom and I suffered out there...

00:38:36For so many years...

00:38:38I made it through...

00:38:39But she...

00:38:40She endured endless suffering...

00:38:42Until it killed her...

00:38:43I didn't come back...

00:38:44To join your Sterling family...

00:38:46I'm here...

00:38:48To demand justice...

00:38:49For my mother...

00:38:50So listen carefully...

00:38:52If I win this contest...

00:38:54You...

00:38:55Benjamin Sterling...

00:38:56And your whole household...

00:38:58And even down to your family dog...

00:39:01Will go to her grave...

00:39:02And you all better show up...

00:39:04You'll bow...

00:39:05And confess...

00:39:07How blind...

00:39:08And foolish you all were!

00:39:09What the hell are you saying?!

00:39:11Dad...

00:39:11Are you telling me...

00:39:12That you were convinced...

00:39:13That he actually got talent?!

00:39:15Shut up both of you!

00:39:24Alright...

00:39:25If you win...

00:39:26I'll do what you want me to do...

00:39:28I'll march every last Sterling...

00:39:30To your mom's grave...

00:39:31We will all show our respect...

00:39:33And admit...

00:39:35That we were fools...

00:39:36To throw you out...

00:39:37Dad!

00:39:38Grandpa!

00:39:48I might not belong to this world...

00:39:51But...

00:39:52From the moment I came here...

00:39:53I saw you as my mother...

00:39:55Seven years ago...

00:39:56They threw you out of the family...

00:39:58Just because they came out mute...

00:40:00Stop being lazy and get this mess cleaned up!

00:40:02I'm sorry sir...

00:40:02I made extra 50 bucks today!

00:40:04You wanted the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle right?

00:40:06I'm still a thousand short...

00:40:07But Mama will get it for you soon!

00:40:09Today...

00:40:09I'll crush the Sterling family...

00:40:11And I'll make sure that by tomorrow...

00:40:13Their whole Sterling clan...

00:40:15Will kneel before your grave...

00:40:16And give respect!

00:40:18They will all bow to you...

00:40:19And admit...

00:40:21That they were wrong!

00:40:29I'm Jude Sterling...

00:40:31Mom is sick...

00:40:32She doesn't have much time left...

00:40:33I've never called you dad before...

00:40:36Dad...

00:40:36Could you come see her?

00:40:49I'm so sorry...

00:40:50I...

00:40:51I won't be here anymore...

00:40:53To see you sore...

00:40:55You're just 10 years old...

00:40:58Just when you needed me most...

00:41:00I...

00:41:01I...

00:41:02I...

00:41:05Shh...

00:41:15Mom...

00:41:15Forgive me...

00:41:16I'm not mute...

00:41:17I'm sorry...

00:41:18I just wish you could've heard my voice...

00:41:20They want me back...

00:41:22Therefore...

00:41:23I'm going...

00:41:24They threw you out...

00:41:25Just like a piece of trash...

00:41:27With no name and no rights...

00:41:29I'll promise that I'll make them pay...

00:41:32Every last Sterling...

00:41:33Will have to kneel in mourning clothes in front of your grave...

00:41:37I'll force them...

00:41:38Until they scream at themselves that they were fools...

00:41:41That they've wronged you...

00:41:43This is madness!

00:41:45Grandpa...

00:41:45Why the hell is he taking my spot?

00:41:47This was our last shot to prove ourselves...

00:41:49And you just handed it to him!

00:41:53Remember this day...

00:41:54Because of my presence...

00:41:55Today...

00:41:56Will become the most glorious day ever recorded in your family's history...

00:42:02So watch carefully and see for yourself...

00:42:05How I...

00:42:05Jude Sterling...

00:42:06Will elevate your status so far beyond anything you could ever imagine in your life!

00:42:11Jude...

00:42:12What are you saying?

00:42:13If your entire family...

00:42:15Failed to keep the promises you gave me...

00:42:17Then keep your eyes wide open and watch...

00:42:19How I...

00:42:20Jude Sterling...

00:42:20Will personally bury...

00:42:22Every one of you in the deepest...

00:42:24Darkest...

00:42:24Pits of damnation!

00:42:26How dare you!

00:42:26Shut up!

00:42:27Jude Sterling!

00:42:28You got a death wish?

00:42:29Jude!

00:42:31Heaven or hell...

00:42:32Now where destiny hangs in the balance...

00:42:34We'll see how a 10 year old wealth...

00:42:37Can bring us glory in a day...

00:42:39To elevate this family...

00:42:40Or crush us into the darkest depths of damnation!

00:42:44Grandpa!

00:42:45Let's go!

00:42:45Quickly!

00:42:47If destiny grants us a prodigy...

00:42:49I promise to kneel at her grave!

00:42:50Dad!

00:42:51Have you really lost your mind?

00:42:52Dad!

00:42:53You're the sterling patriarch!

00:42:54Since when do you bow down to your son's wife's grave?

00:42:57Grandpa!

00:42:57This is total nonsense!

00:42:59A total nonsense?

00:43:00If he's the prodigy...

00:43:01I don't care if I'm the patriarch!

00:43:06Did you feel that?

00:43:08When he moved towards us...

00:43:09It's not a man...

00:43:10But a force of nature...

00:43:12And I felt a crushing...

00:43:14Suffocating terror!

00:43:15When the heavens rumbled and stirred last night...

00:43:18I knew that it came from the sterlings...

00:43:21But...

00:43:22I have never imagined...

00:43:23What do we do now?

00:43:24He's really here...

00:43:25But I am too scared to call him...

00:43:27Skye's here...

00:43:29But what if...

00:43:29We are both mistaken...

00:43:31The kid is still too young...

00:43:32To have that power...

00:43:33Attend your feast...

00:43:34Thank you...

00:43:35I'll be calling the masters...

00:43:36I'll rally them here...

00:43:37I'm out of my depth...

00:43:38Let the masters judge him...

00:43:40To see if he's the real immortal...

00:43:42And if he is?

00:43:43We'll bow to him...

00:43:45Huh?

00:43:46Not everyone...

00:43:47Could have the chance of meeting him...

00:43:48If he weren't a kid...

00:43:49I'd call him dad...

00:43:51You should too if I were you...

00:43:52What?

00:44:13Dawnshire breed scholars...

00:44:14Half of Solaran's greatest literary legends...

00:44:17Were born and raised under our very skies...

00:44:19And as your Prince Salthor...

00:44:21I cherish...

00:44:22Each and every house's cultural legacy...

00:44:25And today...

00:44:26The eight great families...

00:44:27Stand firmly rooted...

00:44:28In long and profound traditions...

00:44:30Of learning and intellect...

00:44:32Every four years...

00:44:33We assemble in the solemn tradition...

00:44:35For the Battle of Wits...

00:44:36A gathering meant to inspire...

00:44:38The younger generations...

00:44:39To achieve the highest standards...

00:44:41Of cultural excellence...

00:44:43Here today...

00:44:44In my 80th birthday banquet...

00:44:46Love life...

00:44:47And boundless fortune...

00:44:49To you Prince Salthor...

00:44:51May you prosper through the ages...

00:44:53Love you Prince Salthor...

00:44:56What an honor...

00:44:57To have my birthday celebration...

00:44:59Coincide with the quadrennial battle of wits...

00:45:02And today...

00:45:03We're graced by three literary giants...

00:45:05First to be honored...

00:45:06Is Henry Clay...

00:45:07Of the Calligraphy Society...

00:45:09A master...

00:45:10Whose brushwork breathes vitality...

00:45:12Into paper...

00:45:13Each stroke unfolding stories...

00:45:15Of the human soul...

00:45:16Portraying emotions...

00:45:17And truths...

00:45:18That span the ages...

00:45:20Next...

00:45:21Is Chester Barrett...

00:45:22At 20...

00:45:23He composed The Untrammeled...

00:45:24A work so profound and stirring...

00:45:26That it is said to break hearts...

00:45:28Across the realms...

00:45:29Leaving readers breathless...

00:45:31With its brilliance...

00:45:32You see him?

00:45:32He's my mentor...

00:45:33And Master Miles Turner...

00:45:35By the age of 29...

00:45:37He led Soloran's letters...

00:45:38And offering counsel...

00:45:39To emperors themselves...

00:45:41Distilling the wisdom of millennia...

00:45:43Into insights...

00:45:44That shaped the realm...

00:45:45This gathering's prestige...

00:45:46Is really unmatched...

00:45:47We have half of Soloran's intellectual elite...

00:45:49They're all here...

00:45:50To be recognized here...

00:45:51Would make one's reputation...

00:45:52Today...

00:45:53I will be hosting the Battle of Wit...

00:45:55With the three masters...

00:45:57As our judges...

00:45:57In the previous contests...

00:46:00We held...

00:46:00We offered modest prizes...

00:46:02Just a billion or two...

00:46:03But today...

00:46:04Happens to be my birthday...

00:46:06Therefore...

00:46:06The rewards must match the occasion...

00:46:11Whoever wins first place...

00:46:13In this intellectual duel...

00:46:14Gets five billion in cash...

00:46:16Five billion...

00:46:18Five billion...

00:46:20Five billion...

00:46:21Five billion...

00:46:22Five billion...

00:46:22This is unreal...

00:46:23You must win...

00:46:24The prize is five billion...

00:46:26That's more liquid wealth...

00:46:27Than the entire family ever has...

00:46:29But that bastard...

00:46:30Stole Sean's place...

00:46:31Now he's flaunting his wealth...

00:46:33Truly a prodigy...

00:46:35He is a ten year old...

00:46:36With the proper composure...

00:46:37Of an emperor...

00:46:38And that is not all...

00:46:40Should you emerge...

00:46:41Victorious today...

00:46:42I will personally...

00:46:44Petition the throne...

00:46:45To crown your house...

00:46:46With the title of...

00:46:49Dawnshire's Paramount Bloodline...

00:46:52Paramount Bloodline...

00:46:54Paramount Bloodline...

00:46:55By Imperial mandate...

00:46:56Total dominance...

00:46:56Over the Dawnshire's nobility...

00:46:58No Dawnshire house...

00:46:59Has ever claimed this title...

00:47:00I wonder who will get it...

00:47:01This time...

00:47:02If you lose...

00:47:03I'll break your legs...

00:47:04Myself...

00:47:05Philip...

00:47:06You must win this duel...

00:47:07Dad...

00:47:08No one outmatches me...

00:47:12Except...

00:47:13Maybe him...

00:47:17The Paramount Bloodline...

00:47:18Isn't this the very thing...

00:47:20They were desperately craving...

00:47:21Yet this honor...

00:47:22Forces even the noble...

00:47:24To drag themselves through hell...

00:47:25For the name...

00:47:26With one calculated move...

00:47:28They'd rocket to divine status...

00:47:31Let's begin...

00:47:32Announce your numbers...

00:47:33Confirm if all are present...

00:47:34House Zeller...

00:47:35All present...

00:47:36House Reeves...

00:47:36All present...

00:47:37House Spencer...

00:47:38All present...

00:47:39House Zinc...

00:47:40All present...

00:47:40House Stones...

00:47:41All present...

00:47:42House Sterling...

00:47:43All present...

00:47:44For the Battle of Wits...

00:47:45Let the heir of every clan...

00:47:47Come forward...

00:47:48Keith Wilkins...

00:47:49Of House Wilkins...

00:47:49Philip Reeves...

00:47:50Of House Reeves...

00:47:51Owen Hayes...

00:47:52Ethan Spencer...

00:47:53Of House Spencer...

00:47:54Rowan Stone...

00:47:54Of House Stone...

00:47:55Morgan Zinc...

00:47:56Of House Zinc...

00:47:56Killam Zeller...

00:48:00Jude Sterling...

00:48:01Of House Sterling...

00:48:05Alright...

00:48:06Let the battle begin...

00:48:07And may each contender...

00:48:08Step forward...

00:48:09This battle tests...

00:48:10Three essential skills...

00:48:11First...

00:48:12Intellect...

00:48:13Second...

00:48:14Erudition...

00:48:15And third...

00:48:17Calligraphy...

00:48:20Grandpa...

00:48:20Just wait and see...

00:48:21Choosing Jude over me...

00:48:23Will disgrace us...

00:48:24Clearly...

00:48:25You underestimate your brother...

00:48:26But he outshines you tenfold...

00:48:28But that's absurd...

00:48:29Dad...

00:48:30I'm not buying any of it...

00:48:31Dad...

00:48:32Now is not the right time...

00:48:33To make all the worst decisions...

00:48:35Be patient...

00:48:37Time will tell in the end...

00:48:39Round one...

00:48:40Intellect...

00:48:41Master of the Couplet Duel...

00:48:42Survive the Verse Chain...

00:48:44What?

00:48:44Couplets?

00:48:45We've never had that before...

00:48:46I memorized everything except the couplets...

00:48:48There's no way I'll survive this...

00:48:49Who even studies couplets anymore...

00:48:51Even I can barely get through them...

00:48:53I can only imagine...

00:48:54How panicked the others might feel right now...

00:48:57But not him...

00:49:00Round two...

00:49:02Erudition...

00:49:03It is to test your memory...

00:49:04As well as the depth of your knowledge...

00:49:06The masters will recite a classic...

00:49:08And the challenge is for you to name its source...

00:49:11Its history...

00:49:12As well as the exact page where it is from...

00:49:15Huh?

00:49:15I honestly thought the noble exams...

00:49:18Would be nothing more than child's play...

00:49:20But these are harsh rules...

00:49:21How thrilling...

00:49:23Truly...

00:49:23Hold on...

00:49:24So you're saying...

00:49:25You expect us to know its history...

00:49:27And the exact page where they got it from?

00:49:30Huh?

00:49:31What test is this?

00:49:33This battle is absurd!

00:49:34This is madness!

00:49:35Naming the book is hard enough...

00:49:36Even for most scholars...

00:49:38And now you're even demanding them to know the page numbers?

00:49:41Nobody can answer that!

00:49:42At least I'm spared...

00:49:44I won't survive in couplets...

00:49:46And this...

00:49:46I probably won't get one right...

00:49:49At least humiliation isn't mine today...

00:49:52Honored masters...

00:49:53Doesn't this...

00:49:54Seem to be a bit too difficult...

00:50:00The battles in the previous years...

00:50:02They weren't so harsh...

00:50:03But for today...

00:50:05We've made it...

00:50:06Nearly impossible!

00:50:07Why would you do that?

00:50:11Because...

00:50:11This year's contest includes none other...

00:50:14Than Jude Sterling!

00:50:15Him?

00:50:16Because of him?

00:50:17These impossible standards are tailored for him?

00:50:20What makes him so special?

00:50:21Can he actually do this?

00:50:22So this...

00:50:23Is supposed to be my stage?

00:50:25Is his mastery truly so outstanding...

00:50:27Just like they say?

00:50:29Round three...

00:50:30Calligraphy...

00:50:31This time it's ten distinct styles...

00:50:33Master more styles...

00:50:34Execute them well...

00:50:35And you win!

00:50:36What is wrong with you?

00:50:37You need three lifetimes to learn all of that!

00:50:40You need ten years to master just one style...

00:50:42But ten styles?

00:50:43They don't want anyone to win!

00:50:44Prince Souththor never really meant to pay that five billion to anybody!

00:50:48No one can pass this battle!

00:50:49Glad I'm not the one humiliated...

00:50:51At least Jude volunteered to fall for all of us!

00:50:55That makes no sense!

00:50:56How so?

00:50:57Explain yourself then!

00:50:58You want ten scripts at a time?

00:51:00It's impossible!

00:51:01No mortal has that kind of skill!

00:51:14You mean him?

00:51:16There's no way!

00:51:16They're all just lying to us!

00:51:18Enough with the chatter!

00:51:20Let the battle begin!

00:51:21Mr. Barret!

00:51:22Do the honor!

00:51:23Very well!

00:51:25Alright!

00:51:25Here's your first challenge!

00:51:27Today, we honor the birthday of Prince Souththor!

00:51:31So my first couplet shall be for longevity!

00:51:34Oh no!

00:51:35Not just a couplet, but a birthday couplet!

00:51:38First line...

00:51:39Eagle brings blessings by Emerald Streams!

00:51:43Excellent!

00:51:44Well played, Master Barret!

00:51:46The outstanding young elites before us!

00:51:49Are they not the same eagles Mr. Barret spoke of?

00:51:55The second line should mirror the imagery and tone, and also be about longevity!

00:52:00This is way too difficult!

00:52:01These couplets are tricky, since when do they have it?

00:52:04This is the starting level?

00:52:05Mr. Barret's merciless!

00:52:07He started at this difficulty!

00:52:10Why is everybody quiet?

00:52:12None of you knows?

00:52:13I know that it is difficult, but don't give up!

00:52:17Come on!

00:52:17Give it a try!

00:52:18You should at least give it a try!

00:52:20Even if you fail at it!

00:52:21That one is rather easy!

00:52:25Why the hesitation?

00:52:28He's so arrogant!

00:52:30Bold talk from someone who can't spell doom!

00:52:32Jude Sterling, right?

00:52:33You didn't catch the full depth behind his couplet!

00:52:35Listen carefully!

00:52:37It's not just about birthday celebrations!

00:52:39It's all about us gift bearers!

00:52:41We're the eagles!

00:52:42And other than that, you also have to know that-

00:52:44Griffin grants fortune through ancient oaks!

00:52:47What?

00:52:48Griffin grants fortune?

00:52:49Exquisite!

00:52:50That's perfection!

00:52:51Mr. Barret called us eagles!

00:52:53But Jude Sterling made Prince Southor the Griffin!

00:52:57That is brilliant!

00:52:58That is the right answer!

00:53:00Indeed, you're correct!

00:53:02By emerald streams, two through ancient oaks,

00:53:06Eagle brings blessings to Griffin grants fortune!

00:53:10Excellent!

00:53:11He's gifted!

00:53:12He's a genius!

00:53:14Perfect couplet!

00:53:16He actually did it?

00:53:17Brilliant couplet!

00:53:19Wait!

00:53:19But he's only ten years old!

00:53:21He barely tried answering,

00:53:22yet he shames all of us in here!

00:53:24He actually answered it!

00:53:26Blind luck!

00:53:26He just got lucky!

00:53:27Jude Sterling!

00:53:28Mr. Clay didn't just acknowledge you,

00:53:30he showered you with praise!

00:53:32Such overflowing talent!

00:53:34We doubted that in the beginning!

00:53:36But now,

00:53:37I can finally see why!

00:53:39Then I'll give the first line!

00:53:41Do you think you can complete it, young man?

00:53:43Of course!

00:53:44Why wouldn't I?

00:53:47Why?

00:53:48Our Prince Arthur remains firmly in his prime as you see!

00:53:51His martial prowess is undiminished!

00:53:53It's only fair that he remains the focus of the challenge!

00:53:57Is that alright?

00:53:58Go ahead, Mr. Turner!

00:53:59Good!

00:54:00Jude Sterling, listen very carefully!

00:54:03Just wait a minute!

00:54:04Mr. Turner, since when is this his private test?

00:54:07Yeah!

00:54:07Why is he the only one getting a challenge?

00:54:09He was able to answer one!

00:54:11That proves nothing!

00:54:12Huh!

00:54:12But none of you will be able to answer it!

00:54:15Impossible!

00:54:16So you're implying that we're not capable, but he somehow is?

00:54:19Exactly!

00:54:20Mr. Turner,

00:54:21do you really think the seven of us will lose to this child?

00:54:24That's right!

00:54:25Then listen closely!

00:54:26Hold it!

00:54:27And the first line is…

00:54:30Twice harvest Moon's turn,

00:54:32as silver crescents cast gentle, shimmering glow!

00:54:38This is even more difficult!

00:54:40It sounds simple, but it's deeper!

00:54:42It's a numerical couplet!

00:54:44You must match both the theme, as well as the math!

00:54:47What's harvest moon?

00:54:48And why does it turn twice?

00:54:50How about that?

00:54:51You've stumbled to answer it, right?

00:54:53Mr. Turner, he may have gotten us this time,

00:54:55but that doesn't mean that he won this battle!

00:54:58Yeah, that's true!

00:54:59This one's trickier than the last!

00:55:01I don't like cutting in,

00:55:03but I've already given you ten full breaths to think!

00:55:05If you still can't figure out the answer,

00:55:08I will take my chance,

00:55:10for I…

00:55:11already know what it is!

00:55:12You know the answer?

00:55:14ALREADY?!

00:55:16Then please, go ahead!

00:55:18As silver crescents cast gentle, shimmering glow,

00:55:22twice harvest Moon's turn…

00:55:28My answer is,

00:55:30with Gilded Autumn's show,

00:55:31double the Sage's Prime!

00:55:35Very well!

00:55:36That's the one!

00:55:38Seriously?!

00:55:38There's no way!

00:55:39That's two in a row!

00:55:40Another lucky guess?

00:55:42How's that possible?

00:55:43Oh well…

00:55:44Very good!

00:55:46That's a perfect match!

00:55:47Hahahaha!

00:55:49Hahahaha!

00:55:49Harvest Moon's the Sage's Prime,

00:55:50Crescent's glow to Autumn's show!

00:55:52That's flawless!

00:55:54A perfect match!

00:55:56Hahahaha!

00:55:58Hahahaha!

00:55:59Hahahaha!

00:56:01My turn!

00:56:02Listen, Jude!

00:56:03Ever since I left,

00:56:04I've been going on this problem,

00:56:06and it won't give me peace!

00:56:08This one kept me up!

00:56:10That is surely…

00:56:11A genuine…

00:56:12Mind-melter!

00:56:14Do you think…

00:56:16You can answer it this time?

00:56:19Very well!

00:56:20Let me hear it!

00:56:25Very well!

00:56:26Let me hear it!

00:56:32It's all about the digits here, kid,

00:56:35so better keep those numbers tight!

00:56:37Mr. Clay, let me hear it!

00:56:41First line!

00:56:43A hundred suns, a temple up!

00:56:45Thousands of tiles, hundreds of bricks!

00:56:49Hahahaha!

00:56:50How about it?

00:56:52What do you think of this one?

00:56:54I'll give you…

00:56:55Five minutes to think about it!

00:56:57You have to…

00:56:58Four bridges passed!

00:56:59Three souls over!

00:57:00One boat, two oars!

00:57:02Seriously?

00:57:03That was fast!

00:57:03Did he even think about it?

00:57:04Lightning fast!

00:57:05Quicker then!

00:57:06A hiccup!

00:57:06He's a freak!

00:57:07A total freak!

00:57:08Wow!

00:57:09I'm still trying to make sense of the first line,

00:57:12and he's already finished answering?

00:57:14See it now?

00:57:15The sterling bloodline is legendary!

00:57:18You're even more brilliant than I ever imagined!

00:57:21Here goes!

00:57:22Three long, two short, one palm upholds the heavens!

00:57:26Jude, we're still dealing with numbers here,

00:57:28but the trick is you have to read the pattern!

00:57:30My answer is…

00:57:31Already?

00:57:32He's got it again!

00:57:35But the trick is you have to read the pattern!

00:57:38My answer is…

00:57:39Six days shape creation, four horsemen, eight beatitudes!

00:57:42You…

00:57:43He's got it again!

00:57:44Now answer this one!

00:57:45Where water breeds worms, it thickens!

00:57:48Where water breeds fish, it feeds!

00:57:51Water's multiplied, creek, lake, and endless sea!

00:57:54Time to level off the questions now!

00:57:57You better prepare for linguistic acrobatics!

00:58:00Listen closely!

00:58:02Where root meets earth, it anchors!

00:58:04Where tip meets sky, it reaches!

00:58:05Woods compounded!

00:58:06Pine, oak, a towering forest!

00:58:09But…

00:58:09What?

00:58:10Even a sage would struggle with that!

00:58:12You're a dictionary demon!

00:58:14That's witchcraft!

00:58:16Alright, I'll be giving my last one!

00:58:18It's the ultimate one!

00:58:19If you could answer it, you will earn my respect!

00:58:22You mean…

00:58:23That one?

00:58:24Mr. Barret, I know that one!

00:58:26But asking that would be too much!

00:58:28Nobody's ever solved that riddle for ages!

00:58:32Wait, is he actually referring to that line?

00:58:34The one that everyone swears is unsolvable without a line to match?

00:58:39Ah, this means that their pride's been pricked!

00:58:41Now they'll hit him with the impossible one to answer!

00:58:45It's true!

00:58:46You'd answer quickly!

00:58:47In the blink of an eye, he's embarrassing all those older scholars!

00:58:52Unless they give a hard one, I'm afraid they'll carry that shame forever!

00:58:56Father, what would be the question?

00:58:58I have no idea that if they all call it unsolvable, then…

00:59:03It's no child's riddle!

00:59:06I know that couplet!

00:59:08If you can crack it, I promise to call you my master!

00:59:12I'm not interested to become your master!

00:59:14The arrogance in this kid!

00:59:15How insolent!

00:59:16How dare you!

00:59:17Can we all begin now?

00:59:18Let's say, I solve your unsolvable couplet today…

00:59:21Does that seal my victory in this battle of wit?

00:59:24You've already won this battle!

00:59:26Whether you can solve this line or not, the brilliance of your intellect has proven no equal in this world!

00:59:32I have no objections!

00:59:33You've definitely earned the title fair and square!

00:59:37Very well!

00:59:38You may choose not to answer this one, as this problem remains unsolved for ages!

00:59:45Since you put it that way, now I'm curious…

00:59:48What is this unsolvable riddle of yours?

00:59:53Listen well…

00:59:54Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake lichen…

00:59:57What does it mean?

00:59:58Lotus, lilac, and lichen?

01:00:00Aren't all those names… names of plants?

01:00:03Not so hard, right?

01:00:06Hmm…

01:00:07Interesting…

01:00:07I'll need a moment…

01:00:09I got it!

01:00:10I know the answer!

01:00:11What?

01:00:12What?

01:00:12You?

01:00:15You?

01:00:16Keith!

01:00:17Be quiet!

01:00:18This challenge is beyond you!

01:00:19Dad!

01:00:20Must you question me?

01:00:21This is child's play!

01:00:23Child's play?

01:00:24The answer is thorny!

01:00:25Though in my eyes, hardly worth a second glance!

01:00:27You owned the stage long enough, yet you're being so quiet now!

01:00:30Finally, it's now my turn to shine and earn the crown!

01:00:33Alright!

01:00:35Let's hear it then!

01:00:36Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake lichen…

01:00:38It captures a vision of life!

01:00:40They expand their reach from water to shore!

01:00:43So here's my answer!

01:00:44Green hills, granite glance, glowing springs!

01:00:50Mr. Wilkins, that doesn't pair!

01:00:52Just what the hell is that?

01:00:53Yeah…

01:00:54How is it not fitting?

01:00:55Mr. Reeves, don't you know verses?

01:00:57Shut it!

01:00:58Guards!

01:00:58Remove this simpleton out of here!

01:01:02Throw him out!

01:01:03Mr. Barrett!

01:01:04Green hills to lotus leaf!

01:01:05The hills on their side is springs!

01:01:06My logic stands!

01:01:08The artistry of that first line escapes you entirely!

01:01:11And yet you dare to answer it?

01:01:13Throw him out!

01:01:14What do all of you here know?

01:01:16My imagery fits!

01:01:17My rhythm true!

01:01:18And it captures the cliff's menace!

01:01:20Just stop it, Wilkins!

01:01:21Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake lichen…

01:01:24Think about these words carefully!

01:01:26They're all starting with letter L!

01:01:28Yeah…

01:01:29This is no mere imagery only!

01:01:32What we have here is alliteration!

01:01:34A flawless line!

01:01:36An impossible standard!

01:01:37All starts with L!

01:01:39Indeed!

01:01:39All L initials!

01:01:40Lotus…

01:01:41Starts with L!

01:01:42From lotus to lilac and even lichen!

01:01:45They all start with the letter L!

01:01:48All crowned with L!

01:01:49You fool!

01:01:50You're blind to its design!

01:01:51And yet you strut like you want!

01:01:53You made things difficult!

01:01:54Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake lichen…

01:01:57All starts with L!

01:01:58The art is in the sound!

01:01:59Exactly!

01:02:00Oh god!

01:02:01How did I miss that?

01:02:03Guards!

01:02:03Remove this jester from this hall now!

01:02:07I'm sorry!

01:02:08I'm begging you!

01:02:09I am ready to answer!

01:02:10Huh?

01:02:11Not again?

01:02:12Is he…

01:02:13Bluffing like him too?

01:02:14The first line was hard, but he solved it?

01:02:16Let go of me!

01:02:17I'll leave this place, but let me hear his answer first!

01:02:22My answer is…

01:02:23Rose root, reed brush, red rose hip!

01:02:27He got it!

01:02:28A true marvel!

01:02:29The unsolvable line!

01:02:30He solved it!

01:02:31A genius!

01:02:32A true genius!

01:02:33This can't be…

01:02:34This is sorcery!

01:02:35He actually cracked it…

01:02:36I yield utterly…

01:02:37I'd hardly call this line difficult…

01:02:39I only pause because I don't want to rush it…

01:02:42Not because I don't know the answer!

01:02:43Then…

01:02:44What was on your mind?

01:02:45What's on my mind?

01:02:45To reduce your legendary test to rubble…

01:02:48Until there's nothing left for you to boast about!

01:02:51To rubble?

01:02:52Explain yourself!

01:02:53I crafted five answers!

01:02:54What?

01:02:55Five answers?!

01:02:56This is not a timeless riddle!

01:02:57From now on, never use this for tests again!

01:03:00You thought of five answers?!

01:03:02You just wildly…

01:03:03How dare you!

01:03:04What five?!

01:03:07Lotus leaf, lilac lilt, lake lichen…

01:03:10The first answer that I gave you…

01:03:11Is…

01:03:12Roast root, reed rush, red rose hip!

01:03:15As for the second answer…

01:03:17Moss mound, maple mist, misty meadow…

01:03:20That fits!

01:03:21He's right!

01:03:24And for the third answer…

01:03:26Willow wood, white wood, wild wheat…

01:03:29The fourth answer will be…

01:03:31Bay beach, broad banks, briny billows…

01:03:34There's no way!

01:03:35And lastly…

01:03:36The fifth…

01:03:38Brookbend, bayou branch, blue brine…

01:03:42That's unbelievable!

01:03:43Five answers!

01:03:45I can't believe it!

01:03:46What about it?

01:03:48Please take me!

01:03:49I want to learn from you!

01:03:51You want to learn from me?

01:03:53I've never witnessed such a brilliant mind like yours!

01:03:55You outshine the Ancient!

01:03:57That's crazy!

01:03:57My god!

01:03:58Even Mr. Barret's bowing to him!

01:04:01You really want to learn from me?

01:04:05Right now…

01:04:06You still…

01:04:07Don't qualify!

01:04:09Huh?!

01:04:09What did you say?!

01:04:10That's way too cocky!

01:04:11How dare you?!

01:04:12Mr. Barret even bowed to him!

01:04:13And he turned him down!

01:04:14Who does he think he is?!

01:04:16Mr. Barret doesn't qualify?!

01:04:17How dare you?!

01:04:18Who taught you that?!

01:04:19Mr. Barret kneeling to him?!

01:04:20This world has gone completely mad!

01:04:22He actually refused him!

01:04:24Even if he said no, he didn't have to say he doesn't qualify!

01:04:27Jude!

01:04:28Quit running your mouth!

01:04:29Unless Mr. Jensen and I are blind…

01:04:32We're looking at a true legend!

01:04:34If that's the case, then he really doesn't measure up…

01:04:37Maybe…

01:04:38Even I fall short of the standard as well…

01:04:41Can we finally move on to the next trial?

01:04:43Chester!

01:04:44Stand up!

01:04:45You simply…

01:04:45Don't have the qualities that he requires!

01:04:50What?!

01:04:50Stand up!

01:04:51The Lunamount delegation will explain everything!

01:04:55Lunamount?!

01:04:55So you mean…

01:04:56The Solorane's protectors, the Lunamounts?!

01:04:59According to legends…

01:05:00Even the Emperor must train with them!

01:05:02They work side by side with each other!

01:05:04They're really dispatching the envoys?!

01:05:08I didn't know that the Prince has this connection that even the Lunamounts attend his birthday!

01:05:14No way!

01:05:15This can't be real!

01:05:17Grandpa, what exactly is the Lunamount?

01:05:19They're what they call the real deities!

01:05:22They wield so much power that even the royalty are forced to kneel!

01:05:28They are mystics?

01:05:29They actually exist?

01:05:30They are in this world?!

01:05:32Goodness me!

01:05:33Open your eyes!

01:05:34There's more than just your little pond, you know?!

01:05:36If Lunamount ever considered taking me in…

01:05:39Who cares about inheritance?

01:05:41Arch-sage would mean nothing!

01:05:42All mortal achievements are dust before them!

01:05:45Every name fades to nothing in their shadow!

01:05:48Sean…

01:05:49The Lunamount rarely appears…

01:05:51This is it!

01:05:52This is your golden chance!

01:05:54Dad!

01:05:54Break your connections to reach them!

01:05:56Their simple approval could make you filthy rich…

01:05:58Even if…

01:05:59You become their floor scrubber!

01:06:01A servant?

01:06:02Any servant of theirs…

01:06:03Gets to have equal treatment…

01:06:05From the rich…

01:06:06And even from the nobility!

01:06:08What?!

01:06:12What?

01:06:12Lunamount?

01:06:13From how they are acting…

01:06:14They must be a mystic sect in this world…

01:06:18Hmph…

01:06:19How intriguing…

01:06:30Hello Hank!

01:06:31Andy!

01:06:32If he came all the way here just for nothing…

01:06:34I'll skin you alive!

01:06:35Huh?

01:06:35I wouldn't dare lie to the Lunamounts!

01:06:37Prince Southor and I…

01:06:38We both felt it!

01:06:39That suffocating pressure…

01:06:41Radiating from him…

01:06:42The night before…

01:06:43We saw him practicing…

01:06:45Devouring every spiritual energy in the city!

01:06:47Ha ha ha…

01:06:49The entire city…

01:06:50Are you out of your mind?

01:06:51That kind of power requires at least trinity convergence…

01:06:54How could such a person exist?

01:06:56That's why…

01:06:56I asked you to come here…

01:06:59To verify it!

01:07:04Our master is coming with after hearing this…

01:07:07Start preparing…

01:07:08He'll arrive shortly…

01:07:09Yes!

01:07:14Fascinating…

01:07:15Draining the entire city's energy…

01:07:18Even if it's fake…

01:07:19He's still a rogue mystic, isn't he?

01:07:21Do you agree with me, Hank?

01:07:23Master…

01:07:23Andy is a boastful man…

01:07:25Well…

01:07:26But if he really is…

01:07:27A mystic like he says…

01:07:29And only ten years old…

01:07:31Perhaps I will…

01:07:32Mentor him myself…

01:07:34And grant him this chance…

01:07:36What?

01:07:37Master?

01:07:37You'd actually taken the disciple?

01:07:39You're on the verge of trinity convergence already…

01:07:42Trinity convergence?

01:07:44Ha ha ha ha…

01:07:45The world believes that I'm close to achieving it…

01:07:49Yet it is…

01:07:50A realm beyond…

01:07:51The ordinary mortals…

01:07:53Only myths talk about it…

01:07:55But other than those myths…

01:07:57Nobody else mentions it…

01:07:59Pentaforce Dominion?

01:08:00A realm of extraordinary ability…

01:08:03But for me…

01:08:03I won't…

01:08:05I'll never touch it…

01:08:07Judas solved…

01:08:09A couplet unsolved for ages…

01:08:11I'd say…

01:08:12There is no need to continue to the second trial…

01:08:17Indeed you're right…

01:08:19Though the first test measured intellect…

01:08:21He's shown us…

01:08:23Extraordinary talents that makes him…

01:08:26Deserving of being the first place…

01:08:28Even in the second trial as well…

01:08:30Hmm…

01:08:30Then further trials…

01:08:32Are simply pointless…

01:08:33I totally agree with you…

01:08:36Hmm…

01:08:36Bring the ink and brush…

01:08:43How shall we conduct this?

01:08:45Honorable judges…

01:08:46Please decide…

01:08:48If Mr. Clay insists that he knows all the ten artistic styles of calligraphy…

01:08:53Let's see…

01:08:54Let him prove to us that he can actually write…

01:08:57Very well…

01:08:58Then let him demonstrate these ten styles…

01:09:00Hmm…

01:09:00Ten?

01:09:01Really?

01:09:02That's impossible…

01:09:03Nobody does that…

01:09:05Yeah…

01:09:06Chester…

01:09:07You're suggesting…

01:09:08Write the immortal creed…

01:09:11For heaven establish virtue…

01:09:13For mortals secure purposes…

01:09:15For ancestors revive wisdom…

01:09:17For eternity forges peace…

01:09:19You have to write the immortal creed ten times…

01:09:23And each of the times should be written in a different style…

01:09:26This is clearly torture…

01:09:28This feels targeted at Jude…

01:09:30Then why are they involving us?

01:09:31You're making fun of us…

01:09:32I only know one style…

01:09:34I know the gothic one…

01:09:35Ten styles is humanly impossible…

01:09:36Silence…

01:09:39Jude…

01:09:39Do you accept?

01:09:42Jude…

01:09:43Do you accept?

01:09:44Why wouldn't I?

01:09:45What?

01:09:45Did he really master ten?

01:09:47Well…

01:09:47I can't do it…

01:09:48I'm out…

01:09:49However…

01:09:50I refuse to believe he can do it…

01:09:52Nor do I…

01:09:53I also yield…

01:09:54So…

01:09:54All of you behind him…

01:09:56Master…

01:09:57I yield already…

01:09:58I don't know ten…

01:09:59Let alone write them…

01:10:01Same…

01:10:01Count me out…

01:10:02The trial is meaningless anyway…

01:10:04It's tailored solely for him…

01:10:06This was never a scholarly contest…

01:10:07The tests they gave us…

01:10:09Were beyond any of us…

01:10:10Were just foil for him…

01:10:11Yes…

01:10:11Exactly…

01:10:12This trial…

01:10:13Is completely meaningless…

01:10:15And now…

01:10:16You want us to write the sacred text…

01:10:18In ten different styles?

01:10:19No human being…

01:10:20Could possibly know…

01:10:21Those ten styles…

01:10:22And how to write all of them…

01:10:27Unless…

01:10:28Such exquisite brushstroke…

01:10:32His grip…

01:10:34The ink flow…

01:10:35Impossibly steady…

01:10:36He moves the brush like he has mastered it for decades…

01:10:40That is just impeccable…

01:10:42Told you so…

01:10:43You didn't believe…

01:10:44He's disgustingly skilled…

01:10:46Now are you convinced yet?

01:10:48He writes like he is the master…

01:10:50Of the brush…

01:10:54Careful…

01:11:02The cursive script…

01:11:03The cursive script…

01:11:03He's using the hardest style…

01:11:05He even does the cursive…

01:11:07So messy…

01:11:08I can't read it like this…

01:11:09Philistine…

01:11:10This isn't messy…

01:11:11Can't you feel the flow of his writing?

01:11:13Indeed…

01:11:13Can you see how…

01:11:14Each character's pulse…

01:11:15As if the ink has a soul…

01:11:16Good…

01:11:18Such an…

01:11:18Excellent mastery…

01:11:19Excellent mastery…

01:11:27Be careful holding it…

01:11:28The ink's still wet…

01:11:31The italic script…

01:11:34The italic script…

01:11:35The italic script…

01:11:36I told you…

01:11:36He knew that script…

01:11:38None of you believe me…

01:11:39This is the italic script…

01:11:41Each character breathes…

01:11:48The italic script…

01:11:49The italic script…

01:11:49Is he for real?

01:11:50Indeed…

01:11:51How does he know all of this?

01:11:55Prodigy…

01:11:55Absolute prodigy…

01:11:58Your mom once told me…

01:12:00That even if they called you mute…

01:12:01She always saw the genius in you…

01:12:03At an early age…

01:12:05I…

01:12:06I believe that too…

01:12:07But I lack the courage to speak up…

01:12:17this is the italic…

01:12:18Clerical script?

01:12:18Is this clerical script?

01:12:20This is a fancy clerical script!

01:12:22Unbelievable…

01:12:22He actually knows it…

01:12:24So what if he knows it?

01:12:26Talon is nothing without backing…

01:12:28The Lunamouts are coming…

01:12:29If I can win the Lunamouts' favour…

01:12:31Then I can still crush you into dirt, Jude…

01:12:34A mute's a mute. You'll forever be a broken child to me. Even with all your words, you still look

01:12:41utterly helpless to me.

01:12:46Master! Disciple Hank!

01:12:49What script is this? Have you seen this?

01:12:51What's this? It's artistic, but what it is, I don't know.

01:12:54Did he invent that?

01:12:55Wait, it's... Carolingian Miniscule.

01:12:58What's that?

01:13:02This is Carolingian Miniscule.

01:13:04In Charlemagne's era...

01:13:06Thin yet full-bodied, he didn't just study it. He actually mastered it. You really are full of surprises.

01:13:25Enough with the writing.

01:13:28What? What?

01:13:29After Unchal's script and Carolingian Miniscule, I knew it. No one in this world can be a rival to you.

01:13:42There is no need to prove yourself to these Plepians.

01:13:47You're the champion!

01:13:50It's over just like that, champion? What?

01:13:54I have no arguments.

01:13:56You earned this title!

01:13:59The champion is Jude Sterling of House Sterling.

01:14:07Wow, he actually won it.

01:14:09Our champion!

01:14:11Our family hasn't produced such genius in many decades.

01:14:16It's a title well earned!

01:14:18I never bow.

01:14:19Yet today, I yield to you completely.

01:14:22Congratulations!

01:14:24I fully yield to you, Jude.

01:14:27House Sterling.

01:14:32Tell me, does this level of glory suffice for you?

01:14:37Is this high enough?

01:14:38Or must I raise you even higher, pushing you behind every mortal limit?

01:14:43Something's off.

01:14:45What's happening to them?

01:14:51Ah, this way, please.

01:14:53Andy, this had better not be false intel.

01:14:56Of course.

01:14:57I'd never lie.

01:14:58At worst, he's a young genius.

01:15:00Geniuses are a dime a dozen.

01:15:02To us unworldly mystics, they are insects beneath our feet.

01:15:06Of course.

01:15:07Benjamin Sterling, answer me now.

01:15:10Was your House of Sterling elevated high enough today?

01:15:13Is this enough for you?

01:15:16He called his grandfather's name?

01:15:18This isn't right.

01:15:20What happened?

01:15:21Jude, stop!

01:15:22Shut up!

01:15:24Jude Sterling, don't get cocky just because you won.

01:15:27The award!

01:15:28It belonged to our Sean!

01:15:30I am asking you.

01:15:32Was it enough?

01:15:33If you're satisfied, I've fulfilled my promise to you.

01:15:36Now it's your family's turn.

01:15:38Time to honor your deal.

01:15:41I'm sorry.

01:15:44Kneel at my mother's grave in mourning robes.

01:15:47Admit you were wrong.

01:15:49Jude Sterling, I don't recall making such promises to anyone.

01:15:58Though I agreed with your condition, your mom was still just a woman, unworthy of my dignity.

01:16:04I am the patriarch, the face of the family, and my forehead has never touched dirt.

01:16:09So you intend to deny the oath you made?

01:16:12Jude, be reasonable.

01:16:15We belong to a noble family.

01:16:17Face matters more than promises.

01:16:19Remember that.

01:16:21So just accept the reward, and all our wealth will be transferred to you.

01:16:26Dad!

01:16:26If you won't give in, then forget it.

01:16:33Do you think I care about wealth?

01:16:35You must be kidding me.

01:16:37I don't care about your treasures.

01:16:39Those are nothing but dust to me.

01:16:41I've surpassed your petty realm entirely.

01:16:45What a very noble speech.

01:16:47I'm really touched.

01:17:01I, Southor, pay my respects to the Master of Lunamount and Head Disciple!

01:17:11I, Southor, pay respects to the Master of Lunamount and Head Disciple!

01:17:20What? Master of Lunamount!

01:17:22Lunamount Envoy's? Did it just show up here?

01:17:24The Master even came in person. That's their Master.

01:17:29The Master's here. Why aren't you kneeling? Do you all have a death wish?

01:17:34Even the Prince is kneeling to them! Get down, now!

01:17:38All hail Master of Lunamount!

01:17:39All hail Master of Lunamount!

01:17:43Just a normal, young boy.

01:17:45Is this guy what they call a mystic? Barely a Divine Nexus tier.

01:17:49I don't feel any power coming from this boy. Either he's way stronger than me.

01:17:54I can't see through him. Or he's just a nobody.

01:17:59You! On your knees now!

01:18:05You! On your knees now!

01:18:08Who do you think you are?

01:18:10Huh? He's got a death wish! What a waste! Top of the world and dead the next!

01:18:14Kneel now!

01:18:15How dare you disrespect Lunamount!

01:18:17He's gonna get us killed this time!

01:18:19Do you even hear yourself, young man?

01:18:22I said! Who do you think you are?

01:18:27I'm the Head Disciple of Lunamount! My name is Hank Kaltavian!

01:18:31Lunamount? Are they important?

01:18:34He's got a death wish!

01:18:37Lunamount is Solorane's protector!

01:18:39Every top cultivator in the Empire gathers there!

01:18:42We have 300 disciples!

01:18:44On your knees!

01:18:45Plead for the sake of your 300 disciples!

01:18:47Were it not for my mercy, you won't be here breathing!

01:18:51Do you even know what you're talking about?

01:18:54He just threatened to exterminate them!

01:18:56Is he out of his mind?

01:19:00Is he really a mystic?

01:19:02If he is, how strong must he be to talk like that?

01:19:06If not, is he just some reckless kid running his mouth?

01:19:10He doesn't even understand the weight of the words he's using!

01:19:13And now what? Am I about to get dragged into this mess too?

01:19:18Shoot!

01:19:19Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness!

01:19:22Kneel down!

01:19:32He's an outcast from our family!

01:19:34Whatever he said has nothing to do with us!

01:19:36Nothing at all!

01:19:37Please have mercy!

01:19:38Please punish him, not us!

01:19:39He's not a Sterling!

01:19:40He doesn't speak for us!

01:19:41We already cast him out a long time ago!

01:19:43Please don't drag us into this!

01:19:45I'm begging you!

01:19:46Am I still a Sterling?

01:19:50Am I still a Sterling?

01:19:52No!

01:19:52You never were!

01:19:54You're just a cast off!

01:19:55So am I abandoned!

01:19:57Master!

01:19:58He's not a Sterling!

01:20:00Yeah!

01:20:00We already disowned him!

01:20:01We exiled him!

01:20:03It's true!

01:20:04Seven years ago!

01:20:05Master from Lunamount!

01:20:06He's the only crazy one in here!

01:20:08We have nothing to do with this!

01:20:10We're innocent!

01:20:11Kill only the guilty!

01:20:12Didn't I just make myself clear?

01:20:14I'm not a Sterling!

01:20:15I am an Auron!

01:20:17Yet you insist that I'm a Sterling!

01:20:18That your blood's in my veins!

01:20:20That it is my duty to secure victory for you and elevate you to glory!

01:20:25Stop telling lies!

01:20:26When did I say that to you?

01:20:28You're never a Sterling!

01:20:29You don't have our noble blood!

01:20:31That name was never yours!

01:20:33Yeah!

01:20:34Even you call yourself an Auron!

01:20:37You're never a Sterling!

01:20:39You-

01:20:39Dad!

01:20:40What are you talking about?

01:20:43Shut up!

01:20:44What are you talking about?

01:20:45Shut up!

01:20:47Love, I just felt the baby move!

01:20:59I'm done with this!

01:21:00All your lives, you've drowned in vanity and greed!

01:21:03Too ashamed to even acknowledge your own blood!

01:21:06Seven years ago, when Jude was only three years old, all of you!

01:21:10You threw him out of the house!

01:21:12You said we only breed prodigies!

01:21:16That my Mew child would shame us all!

01:21:18You're lying!

01:21:19Stop with the lies!

01:21:20He's only three years old, and you simply threw him out!

01:21:24You even exiled him with my wife when I refused!

01:21:27You called me this loyal, but I said no!

01:21:30Then you called me the ungrateful son, clueless about the big picture!

01:21:34Well, screw that!

01:21:35You don't know what I've been through!

01:21:38None of you!

01:21:39My poor wife!

01:21:40She raised him alone!

01:21:42I wasn't even there!

01:21:44And when she died, I wasn't there for them either!

01:21:47I've been living with guilt, and it eats me up every day!

01:21:50He only wanted to bring Jude home, because the prince expects the perfect family!

01:21:55But I know that you're only using him!

01:21:59You're only using him!

01:22:02But me, I'll take it!

01:22:04You know why?

01:22:06I get to see my son again!

01:22:12Now I can proudly say, that he is my son again!

01:22:16All you wanted, was to parade his skills around!

01:22:20To drill into him!

01:22:22You're a sterling!

01:22:23Make us proud!

01:22:24And then what did you do?

01:22:26Lunamount shows up!

01:22:27Jude won't bow to them!

01:22:28And suddenly, he's no longer one of us!

01:22:32So which is it?

01:22:32Is he family or not?

01:22:34He's got no peace!

01:22:38So which is it?

01:22:39Is he family or not?

01:22:40He's got no peace!

01:22:43First you cast him out, then sweet-talked him into coming back home, only to cut him loose again?

01:22:50That's just cruel and cold.

01:22:52I feel sorry for you, kid.

01:22:55After everything that's happened, a ten-year-old still managed to outshine the legends?

01:22:59Live or die today, kid.

01:23:01You're already my hero, Jude Sterling!

01:23:04He's wrong!

01:23:05He's not one of us!

01:23:07Not since I kicked him out!

01:23:08He's not one of us and seven years ago!

01:23:11Fine!

01:23:12Deny him!

01:23:15But today, I'm finally stepping up!

01:23:18I'm Jude's father!

01:23:20My name is Anthony Sterling!

01:23:26I understand it now, I get it.

01:23:30Hey, kid.

01:23:31I feel sorry for you.

01:23:32Their noble house is trash.

01:23:34But to disrespect us?

01:23:36And mouthing off about us?

01:23:38Sympathy won't stop your death.

01:23:40Ten years old or not?

01:23:42Today, you're going to meet your end, Andy!

01:23:47Yes, brother.

01:23:49Go.

01:23:49Make it quick for the boy.

01:23:51Yes!

01:23:54Sorry, kid.

01:23:55You're just ten years old, and really talented.

01:23:57However, don't blame me for what comes next.

01:24:00After today, you'll be Dawnshire's greatest prodigy, with your name resounding throughout the entire empire!

01:24:06Just name your price!

01:24:08You!

01:24:09Move it!

01:24:11Jude!

01:24:13Move behind me!

01:24:15Don't play the hero!

01:24:17You did pretty good.

01:24:19I'll spare you.

01:24:20I'll only be using this finger.

01:24:22Now allow me to show you how it ends you.

01:24:25You brat!

01:24:35Shadow thorn strike!

01:24:40With just one finger!

01:24:42This could be real!

01:24:43How is this possible?

01:24:44This could be real!

01:24:45He's a mystic!

01:24:46By the grace of his holy light, I didn't kill him.

01:24:50Don't you worry!

01:24:52I simply guided him towards paradise.

01:25:01He has the Petal Trail!

01:25:03This is the legendary Petal Trail!

01:25:10Trinity Convergence!

01:25:12He's... he's a mystic!

01:25:17Trinity Convergence!

01:25:24By the grace of his holy light...

01:25:31Pentaforce Dominion!

01:25:33Save me!

01:25:34Save me, Master!

01:25:36Help me!

01:25:36What is that?

01:25:37Pentaforce Dominion!

01:25:38They actually...

01:25:39They actually exist!

01:25:40What is that?

01:25:41I'm facing a true Master!

01:25:43Save you?

01:25:44How can he save you?

01:25:46He can't even save himself!

01:25:48Mercy Master!

01:25:49Please spare us!

01:25:51To witness an immortal mastering

01:25:54Pentaforce Dominion in my lifetime!

01:25:57I can die happy!

01:25:59I have no regrets!

01:26:01Pentaforce Dominion in my lifetime!

01:26:04Please, please, please, take me with you!

01:26:08I'll devote my life to you!

01:26:10Please accept me!

01:26:11Trinity Convergence!

01:26:13That's the very pinnacle that I'm dreaming of!

01:26:16If I could even get a glimpse of that realm, I promise that I will serve only you forever!

01:26:23Never!

01:26:24I'm just a barret!

01:26:25Take me as your disciple!

01:26:26You want to learn from me?

01:26:29You?

01:26:29No way!

01:26:34I'm not worthy enough!

01:26:36I'm your uncle, Jude!

01:26:38I'm your aunt!

01:26:39I'm your grandfather!

01:26:39I was wrong!

01:26:41Come home with us!

01:26:43What are you waiting for?

01:26:45Father, let's go!

01:26:48What did you say?

01:26:50Father, let's go!

01:27:07No!

01:27:15Jude!

01:27:20I failed you, I hope you can still forgive me!

01:27:30Jude, it's me, your cousin!

01:27:32How low would I work for you?

01:27:33We share the same blood, you know?

01:27:36Like it or not, you're still a sterling!

01:27:40Cousin, wait for me!

01:27:41I'll go with you!

01:27:56Where is it? Where's my mom's grave?

01:28:04Where is it? Where's my mom's grave?

01:28:06Shut it! She was just your aunt! I'm your real mother!

01:28:11She raised me since childhood, as if I was her own!

01:28:14Besides, in my heart, she's always been my mom!

01:28:17If only I could do something, I would let Grandpa kick her out!

01:28:20You dragged me into this!

01:28:21Stop speaking nonsense!

01:28:23Your father orchestrated it because of the inheritance!

01:28:25I was only fooled by him!

01:28:26Stop lying, Dad!

01:28:27Lori was the daughter-in-law I always wanted!

01:28:30When she passed, I failed to mourn for her!

01:28:32Stop blaming everything on me, Dad!

01:28:33It deserves to be called my mom!

01:28:35Mother!

01:28:35Where in the world can we find her tomb?

01:28:37Will we ever find it?

01:28:39Our dear patriarch, Jude, won't even tell us where it is!

01:28:42We even came here to bow!

01:28:44But he says we're all unworthy!

01:28:46Unworthy or not, we must still bow in front of her grave!

01:28:50Three days with no leads!

01:28:52We must find her grave!

01:28:54I wrote 10,000 words of apology!

01:28:56I just want to say in front of her grave that we were wrong!

01:29:00That we were truly blind!

01:29:12What if we never find it?

01:29:14What if we failed to apologize?

01:29:16Jude will never ever forgive me then!

01:29:18You've all ruined my life!

01:29:20Can't even find a simple grave!

01:29:22What are you for?

01:29:23My future is rotting because of you!

01:29:27Mom!

01:29:28Where can we find you?

01:29:30We were blind!

01:29:31We were arrogant fools!

01:29:33Don't warn you, Lori!

01:29:34We were blind!

01:29:35We were arrogant fools!
