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 heir 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 dumped, right?

00:00:25The Sterlings only produce his geniuses, but you? You had a mute for a son.

00:00:30He's turning us into a complete lovingstock in Solar Ray.

00:00:32When my mom died last year, you didn't even flinch.

00:00:36And so because of that, I'm done with this family, and done with my dad.

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

00:00:45Do you actually think I'm nothing more than a dumb kid?

00:00:48South Thor's birthday is the day after tomorrow.

00:00:50The Sterling family will be at his banquet, and I'm still the family's heir apparent on paper.

00:00:55If I don't show up, South Thor would take it as a sign of disrespect.

00:00:59That's the only real reason behind all 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.

00:01:15What's with all the 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...

00:01:26Vermants like you, in another life.

00:01:33I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

00:01:35I didn't mean it. That was a joke.

00:01:38Your grandpa's right there, and everyone's been expecting you.

00:01:40Everyone in this world only sees me as the pathetic, mute outkiss of the Sterling's.

00:01:44If only they knew I'm not one of them.

00:01:47My soul's from another realm.

00:01:49I was Friar Auron.

00:01:51The rivers ran red where I walked.

00:01:53That's why they called me...

00:01:55Hollow Friar.

00:01:58Hollow Friar.

00:01:59A thousand javelins have perished by your hand.

00:02:02You won't get an easy death.

00:02:04The Underworld's waiting for you!

00:02:06I walk the path of mercy, a journey that leads towards the Gate of Enlightenment.

00:02:11Yet you fixate only on my wrath, but never see the compassion beneath.

00:02:16Come.

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.

00:02:39Only by purging your whole family can suffering be entered.

00:02:41You'll never comprehend this truth.

00:02:44By the grace of this holy light, mortals can never see.

00:02:49This is the path of solitude.

00:02:51If no divine hand guides me, then I shall guide myself.

00:03:07From this day forward, as long as I cultivate in silence for eight years, I'll reclaim my power from my

00:03:14past life.

00:03:14Jude, he's your grandfather.

00:03:16Say hi to Grandpa.

00:03:19He's born deaf and mute.

00:03:22Our Jude is the sterling heir.

00:03:25But a defective heir 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.

00:03:40But this is beneath me.

00:03:42Yet here I stand.

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

00:03:46You will grovel before her tomb.

00:03:49Mark my words.

00:04:05Hey!

00:04:06Did you walk here from the village?

00:04:08Huh?

00:04:09Grandpa's been sitting here.

00:04:10You've been keeping him waiting.

00:04:14Cousin Sean, are you worried that I'll take your inheritance?

00:04:16I wonder what god you all worked up.

00:04:18Jude Sterling, how have you been all these years?

00:04:21Save your breath, Grandpa.

00:04:23You don't have to ask him anything.

00:04:24Why do you even bother 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 Southor's banquet is the day after tomorrow.

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

00:04:45it will 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!

00:05:33That'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, 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!

00:06:06How dare you speak like that?

00:06:08A dog!

00:06:09At least he knows his place.

00:06:11Must 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

00:06:19bound by blood so 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 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.

00:07:05Indeed.

00:07:07It's late.

00:07:08Time passed by so quickly.

00:07:09Lydia?

00:07:11Take him to his room.

00:07:13Right 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.

00:07:29Ah, he says he'll remember to bow next time.

00:07:33My silent cultivation will end in two days.

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

00:07:39Hold it.

00:07:40At the princess' upcoming banquet,

00:07:43every noble will be watching.

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

00:07:48Also, if I'm not mistaken,

00:07:51the banquet will include a literary duel

00:07:54among the noble heirs.

00:07:56Grandpa, why 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.

00:08:10That 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.

00:08:28Did 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.

00:08:38What's he up to?

00:08:40Huh?

00:08:40He 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, press, hook, support, and 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's eye.

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 warhorse.

00:09:35Yet they dare to.

00:09:41Mock 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.

00:10:09What 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.

00:10:32Charlemagne surviving work.

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

00:10:35Observe 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.

00:10:55No!

00:10:56Someone as wretched as you shouldn't even aspire to that!

00:11:00I'm sorry.

00:11:05Benjamin.

00:11:06How 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.

00:11:36Allow 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?

00:12:02It's nothing but a fake parchment.

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

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

00:12:09These 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.

00:12:21Such 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.

00:12:32It would be unwise to waste your grandpa's generosity.

00:12:37Also, as for the tutor that they hired for you,

00:12:40he is one of the great minds.

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

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

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

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

00:13:07You've got to be kidding me.

00:13:09Had I not been bound by my oath,

00:13:11a solemn vow of silence,

00:13:14I would have flayed them alive with my words.

00:13:19Mrs. Wilkins,

00:13:20is 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,

00:13:52who used to mentor Master Sean?

00:13:53Yes, that was him.

00:13:55His temper is legendary,

00:13:56and wow,

00:13:58he's in it for tomorrow.

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

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

00:14:07Eight long years of total silence

00:14:09to strip away the layers of mortal vanity

00:14:12to see the world as it truly is

00:14:15and touch the cosmic truth.

00:14:18One 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,

00:14:32and it's 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

00:14:41from 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

00:15:07is being sucked dry by his immense power.

00:15:14His power surpasses mortal limits.

00:15:16Teetering or demonic?

00:15:18How is it possible that such might

00:15:19still walks the earth in our era?

00:15:26I've never come this close to a being

00:15:28of such overwhelming power.

00:15:30I wonder if I can be ever truly worthy enough

00:15:33to witness him fully unveiled in all his glory.

00:15:36Toward the Sterlings?

00:15:38What kind of being?

00:15:40What kind of power could devour the energy

00:15:42of 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

00:15:53when 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 dukedom 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,

00:16:14my old power will ignite!

00:16:27This boy is plain looking in beaut.

00:16:29I'm Henry.

00:16:30You're Jude Sterling?

00:16:32Your family paid a fortune

00:16:33to have me educate you.

00:16:36Or rather,

00:16:37to teach you the alphabet.

00:16:40If he were in Lord of Sterling,

00:16:42he'd never get to encounter

00:16:44a literary genius like me.

00:16:46And yet he has the audacity

00:16:47to look displaced.

00:16:48Unbelievable!

00:16:51Can you even memorize

00:16:53just 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

00:17:00for 15 hours without rest.

00:17:02By the end,

00:17:03you will have fully comprehended

00:17:04at least one entire volume.

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

00:17:08And this is

00:17:09the profound heritage

00:17:10they boast about?

00:17:12Hilarious.

00:17:12I'm well aware

00:17:13that you're a slow learner.

00:17:14And yes,

00:17:15these texts are far

00:17:17beyond your comprehension.

00:17:19But then...

00:17:21Enough with your charades.

00:17:22Hurry!

00:17:23Pick one of these books

00:17:24in front of you.

00:17:27The Iliad.

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

00:17:42Are you saying

00:17:43that not a single one

00:17:44appeals to you at all?

00:17:46Listen, child.

00:17:47These are all...

00:17:49Don't tell me

00:17:50you actually expect

00:17:52to study them all?

00:17:53Let me tell you.

00:17:54Even ants

00:17:55cannot move mountains.

00:17:56Even two days

00:17:57still won't be enough.

00:17:59Then what do you mean?

00:18:00Stop toying with me.

00:18:01I'm one of Soloraine's

00:18:02ten literary titans.

00:18:04Were it not for

00:18:05the Sterlings, you...

00:18:16This pressure

00:18:17and this flow...

00:18:19Is he really

00:18:19ten years old?

00:18:20How can he write this

00:18:21when it takes decades

00:18:22to master?

00:18:24I had already mastered

00:18:25all of this

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

00:18:27Lines flow free.

00:18:28No rigid rose.

00:18:29Grace found in chaos.

00:18:30Bold strokes tans.

00:18:32The Italic script?

00:18:33You already know that?

00:18:34Gothic script is neat.

00:18:35Cursive is wild.

00:18:36But Italic script?

00:18:37It's perfect balance.

00:18:39Controlled yet elegant.

00:18:40To truly reach

00:18:41the mastery of this craft,

00:18:42one must first conquer

00:18:43both Gothic

00:18:44and Cursive's tiles.

00:18:46Yet somehow,

00:18:47it's fallen into the hands

00:18:49of a Mute Child.

00:18:52Now you choose, Silence.

00:18:57A backwater Mute?

00:18:59Possessing Imperial grade

00:19:00calligraphy?

00:19:01What utter nonsense!

00:19:02It's true.

00:19:03Your writing is impressive.

00:19:05But do you really

00:19:06expect me to believe

00:19:07that you mastered

00:19:08all of these three?

00:19:10I find it hard to believe.

00:19:12Very well.

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

00:19:18In Plutarch's parallel lives,

00:19:21which Roman general

00:19:21boldly crossed the Rubicon

00:19:23declaring,

00:19:24The tie is cast.

00:19:25Do you know that?

00:19:26Now tell me,

00:19:28against whom did he wage

00:19:29this great civil war?

00:19:31Julius.

00:19:34Caesar.

00:19:40He waged his civil war

00:19:42against Pompey the Great,

00:19:44once his own ally.

00:19:45And his partner?

00:19:47Crassus and Pompey.

00:19:49You've already memorized

00:19:51parallel lives.

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

00:19:53He's mastered this

00:19:54through and through.

00:19:56Finish this line

00:19:58from Cicero

00:19:59or Tempora.

00:20:00Or 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 at the Choral Mess.

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

00:20:19Pro patria mori.

00:20:20How about

00:20:21the art of living

00:20:22is more like...

00:20:23The wrestlers

00:20:24than the dancers.

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

00:20:27Who first refused

00:20:28to fight in the Iliad?

00:20:30Archelaus.

00:20:31The greatest warrior.

00:20:33He chose pride over war.

00:20:36Who leads

00:20:37Aeneas through the other world?

00:20:40The Sibyl

00:20:41of Cule.

00:20:46What you've done

00:20:47goes well beyond

00:20:48the limits of the syllabus.

00:20:50This is truly

00:20:51next level

00:20:52Homeric wisdom.

00:20:55I'm unworthy

00:20:56to be your teacher.

00:20:58Your wisdom

00:20:58and talent

00:20:59are far beyond mine.

00:21:01You mentioned earlier

00:21:02that you've memorized

00:21:02all these

00:21:03by the age of three.

00:21:04I believe that.

00:21:06Your brilliance

00:21:07is on another level.

00:21:08You should be the one

00:21:09teaching me.

00:21:10What three years old?

00:21:11I wasn't talking about

00:21:12this life.

00:21:12I'm talking about

00:21:14a life long ago.

00:21:17I must be off.

00:21:20I was a fool

00:21:21to scorn the whispers

00:21:22of wisdom.

00:21:23Divine wisdom

00:21:24met my eyes today.

00:21:26Jude Sterling,

00:21:27after tomorrow,

00:21:28your name will echo

00:21:29across the entire city.

00:21:31You absolutely

00:21:32have to attend

00:21:32the Prince's Feast

00:21:34tomorrow.

00:21:35His name will echo

00:21:35across the city?

00:21:37That means

00:21:39tomorrow at the banquet

00:21:40that will be

00:21:41his defining moment.

00:21:49The italic script.

00:21:52Is this the piece

00:21:53he wrote?

00:21:53Even his italic writing

00:21:55seems to dance on paper.

00:21:56His skills are

00:21:57otherworldly,

00:21:59crowned with confidence.

00:22:00I'm finding it hard

00:22:01to believe

00:22:02that he's ever been mute.

00:22:04Hello, sir.

00:22:06Frame this,

00:22:07just like the one

00:22:08from last night.

00:22:09Use a gold frame.

00:22:10Place it in the study.

00:22:13This writing floats

00:22:14gracefully,

00:22:15yet cuts really deep.

00:22:16Sir,

00:22:17such mastery

00:22:18takes decades

00:22:19to achieve.

00:22:19Who could possibly

00:22:20create such artistry?

00:22:38Dad,

00:22:39Jude won't be able

00:22:40to learn in time.

00:22:41Even Mr. Clay

00:22:41gave up while

00:22:42trying to teach him

00:22:43this morning.

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

00:22:45Mr. Clay refused

00:22:46to instruct him.

00:22:47The servants reported

00:22:48to me that they saw

00:22:48the tutor left

00:22:49Jude's study by noon.

00:22:52Dad,

00:22:53how about

00:22:53we don't let him

00:22:54attend tomorrow?

00:22:55He's going to make

00:22:56fools out of us

00:22:57in front of everyone.

00:22:58This is settled.

00:22:59Enough with that topic

00:23:00because the child

00:23:01will have to be there.

00:23:07The wind is howling

00:23:08strangely.

00:23:09That's true.

00:23:09Let me close the door.

00:23:27That recluse again.

00:23:30He resumes his cultivation.

00:23:32I don't know why,

00:23:34but I've been getting

00:23:35this feeling.

00:23:36What is it?

00:23:38I can sense that.

00:23:39Our meeting

00:23:40with the powerful

00:23:42being is drawing near.

00:23:43Are you sure?

00:23:45So Jensen

00:23:46has finally won

00:23:47their approval.

00:23:48What about me?

00:23:50Where does that

00:23:51leave me?

00:23:59Soon.

00:24:00Almost there.

00:24:08done at last.

00:24:14Trinity crowned.

00:24:15My breakthrough's done.

00:24:16I've transcended.

00:24:18Trinity conversions

00:24:18achieved at age 10.

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

00:24:21I read the celestial signs

00:24:23that the hollow friar

00:24:24of legend has returned.

00:24:25Ha ha ha ha.

00:24:26Ha ha ha.

00:24:28Ha ha ha.

00:24:29Ha ha ha.

00:24:33By the grace

00:24:34of his holy light.

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

00:24:38Where is he?

00:24:39Grandpa,

00:24:40this feast

00:24:41is of the highest importance.

00:24:42Must we really

00:24:43be held up

00:24:43by that mute?

00:24:44Exactly.

00:24:45Nothing will change

00:24:45even if he won't

00:24:46go 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.

00:24:55Nobles always judge first by one's refinement and wit.

00:24:58Here goes, and that's final.

00:25:00But, Grandpa...

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!

00:25:15This 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.

00:25:38Everyone's here.

00:25:40Let's go to the Princess Manor.

00:25:47Let's go to the Princess Manor.

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.

00:26:11In front of the royalty!

00:26:16Jude, today'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.

00:26:49Be 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.

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

00:28:07And this must be...

00:28:08He's the Literary Comet, Philip Reeves.

00:28:12Everyone speaks of you, a 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,

00:28:22and by 10 has already mastered all the classical works and even outdone you?

00:28:26Huh.

00:28:28That's impossible.

00:28:2910 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'd dismiss it.

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

00:28:45Huh?

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

00:28:50Philip Reeves? That 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.

00:29:07And 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, coming 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.

00:29:39And 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 of 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.

00:30:15They're all here just for me.

00:30:17I raised the great sun.

00:30:18Only the princess yet to arrive.

00:30:22Sir Jensen, I 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.

00:30:36It's getting closer by the second.

00:30:38Prince Southor, 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.

00:30:44Even 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. Kerner, you honor me too much.

00:31:03You flatter me.

00:31:04You shake your hands.

00:31:09Dad!

00:31:09What's going on?

00:31:10Dad, who 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, does Turling mute air?

00:31:39Jude's Turlings here?

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

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

00:31:45Hail to Prince Southor!

00:31:49The prince has arrived.

00:31:51Hail to Prince Southor!

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

00:31:55Hail to Prince Southor!

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

00:32:01Hail to Prince Southor!

00:32:07Hey Jude, on your knees!

00:32:09The prince demands respect!

00:32:11Kneel?

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

00:32:17Jude, what 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 Southor?

00:32:46Are you Prince Southor?

00:32:50Wasn't he mute?

00:32:50What?

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!

00:33:10As you wish!

00:33:15He never holds back!

00:33:17Rise now!

00:33:18All of you!

00:33:18Thank you, your highness!

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

00:33:26you arrive.

00:33:26So 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, aged to perfection.

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

00:33:48A ten-year-old boy like an immortal Mr. Clay?

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

00:33:55Not just that.

00:33:57He's also astonishingly learned a walking library!

00:34:00A walking library!

00:34:03Mr. Clay, age must have dulled your mind!

00:34:06Are you seriously claiming that a child's babble counts as philosophy now?

00:34:10Maybe next time you'll claim that he invented writing!

00:34:14He's gone crazy!

00:34:18Mr. Clay, age must have dulled your mind!

00:34:22I 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, he 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.

00:34:41Don't you think so, huh?

00:34:42Silence!

00:34:43Yes, master.

00:34:47Benjamin, Mr. 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 Brad is putting on an act.

00:34:57Mr. Clay must have been tricked by him.

00:34:59John, shut up!

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

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

00:35:04Master!

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 backwater 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, why 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!

00:35:45The 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!

00:35:52Why should he take my place?

00:35:54Silence!

00:35:54I won't!

00:35:55Master, 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, but I...

00:36:11By sunset, you will understand.

00:36:15We'll follow the princess' commands.

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

00:36:22He'll show everyone 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?

00:36:33God, I'm the one who's cold!

00:36:37Ha ha ha ha ha!

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 that you can, all of a sudden, speak now?

00:36:50Tell me, how come you suddenly changed?

00:36:57If you mess this up, that'll be considered as treason!

00:37:05It just... happened suddenly.

00:37:10How peculiar.

00:37:11Must we stand here? My legs are aching.

00:37:16Did you hear that?

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

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

00:37:21The kid has no manners at all!

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

00:37:24He's from you, thrown to the mountains!

00:37:26This is embarrassing!

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

00:37:29Everyone, let's head to the hall.

00:37:37Everyone, let'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.

00:37:57The 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,

00:38:09then I'd be happy to change it now.

00:38:13Call me Oren.

00:38:27I am begging you.

00:38:31In one condition.

00:38:33Just name it.

00:38:35Mom and I suffered out there for 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 to join your Sterling family.

00:38:46I'm here to demand justice for my mother.

00:38:51So listen carefully.

00:38:52If I win this contest,

00:38:53you,

00:38:55Benjamin Sterling,

00:38:56and your whole household,

00:38:58and even down to your family dog,

00:39:00will go to her grave,

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

00:39:04You'll bow

00:39:05and confess

00:39:06how blind

00:39:07and 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!

00:39:23All right.

00:39:25If you win,

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

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

00:39:29to your mom's grave.

00:39:31We will all show our respect

00:39:33and admit

00:39:34that 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

00:39:51from 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

00:39:57just because they came out mute.

00:40:00Stop being lazy

00:40:00and get this mess cleaned up!

00:40:01I'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.

00:40:17They 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.

00:40:35Dad,

00:40:36could you come see her?

00:40:48I'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.

00:40:57Just when you needed me most.

00:41:00I...

00:41:02I...

00:41:15Mom, forgive me.

00:41:16I'm not mute.

00:41:17I'm sorry.

00:41:18I just wish you could have 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

00:41:34in mourning clothes

00:41:35in front of your grave.

00:41:37I'll force them

00:41:37until they scream at themselves

00:41:39that they were fools.

00:41:40That 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

00:41:48to prove ourselves

00:41:49and you just handed it to him.

00:41:53Remember this day

00:41:54because of my presence.

00:41:56Today

00:41:56will become the most glorious day

00:41:58ever recorded

00:41:59in your family's history.

00:42:02So watch carefully

00:42:03and see for yourself

00:42:04how I,

00:42:05Jude Sterling,

00:42:06will elevate your status

00:42:08so far beyond anything

00:42:09you could ever imagine

00:42:10in your life.

00:42:11Jude,

00:42:12what are you saying?

00:42:13If your entire family

00:42:14failed to keep

00:42:15the promises you gave me,

00:42:16then keep your eyes wide open

00:42:18and watch

00:42:18how I,

00:42:19Jude Sterling,

00:42:20will personally bury

00:42:21every one of you

00:42:23in the deepest,

00:42:23darkest pits of damnation.

00:42:25How 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,

00:42:33our destiny hangs

00:42:34in the balance.

00:42:34We'll see how

00:42:35a ten-year-old wealth

00:42:37can bring us glory

00:42:38in a day

00:42:39to elevate this family

00:42:40or crush us

00:42:41into the darkest depths

00:42:43of damnation.

00:42:44Grandpa!

00:42:45Let's go,

00:42:45quickly!

00:42:47If destiny grants us

00:42:48a prodigy,

00:42:49I promise to kneel

00:42:50at her grave.

00:42:50Dad,

00:42:51have you really lost

00:42:52your money?

00:42:52Dad,

00:42:53you're the Sterling Patriarch.

00:42:54Since when do you bow down

00:42:55to your son's wife's grave?

00:42:56Grandpa,

00:42:57this is total nonsense!

00:42:59A total nonsense?

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

00:43:01I don't care

00:43:02if I'm the Patriarch.

00:43:06Did you feel that?

00:43:07When 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.

00:43:16when the heavens

00:43:17rumbled and stirred

00:43:18last night,

00:43:18I knew that it came

00:43:19from the Sterlings,

00:43:21but I have never imagined.

00:43:23What do we do now?

00:43:24He's really here,

00:43:25but I am too scared

00:43:26to call him.

00:43:28Skysseer.

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.

00:43:34And 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

00:43:41the real immortal.

00:43:42And if he is?

00:43:43We'll bow to him, huh?

00:43:46Not everyone

00:43:47could have the chance

00:43:48of meeting him.

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

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

00:43:51You should too

00:43:52if I were you.

00:43:52What?

00:44:12Don Shire breeds scholars.

00:44:14Half of Soloran's

00:44:15greatest literary legends

00:44:17were born and raised

00:44:18under our very skies.

00:44:19And as your Prince Salthor,

00:44:21I cherish each

00:44:22and every house's

00:44:23cultural legacy.

00:44:25And today,

00:44:26the eight great families

00:44:27stand firmly rooted

00:44:28in long and profound

00:44:29traditions of learning

00:44:30and intellect.

00:44:31Every four years,

00:44:33we assemble

00:44:33in the solemn tradition

00:44:35for the Battle of Wits,

00:44:36a gathering meant

00:44:37to inspire the younger

00:44:38generations to achieve

00:44:40the highest standards

00:44:41of cultural excellence.

00:44:43Here today,

00:44:44in my 80th birthday banquet,

00:44:46long life and boundless fortune

00:44:49to you, Prince Salthor.

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

00:44:53Long and Prince Salthor.

00:44:55What an honor

00:44:57to have my birthday celebration

00:44:59coincide with the

00:45:00quadrennial battle of wits.

00:45:02And today,

00:45:02we're graced by

00:45:03three literary giants.

00:45:05First to be honored

00:45:06is Henry Clay

00:45:07of the Calligraphy Society,

00:45:09a master whose brushwork

00:45:11breathes vitality into paper,

00:45:13each stroke unfolding

00:45:14stories of the human soul,

00:45:16portraying emotions

00:45:17and truths

00:45:18that span the ages.

00:45:20Next is Chester Barrett.

00:45:22At 20,

00:45:22he composed The Untrammeled,

00:45:24a work so profound

00:45:25and stirring

00:45:26that it is said

00:45:27to 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

00:45:42of millennia

00:45:43into insights

00:45:44that shaped the realm.

00:45:45This gathering's

00:45:45prestige is really unmatched.

00:45:47We have half of

00:45:48Soloran'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

00:45:54the Battle of Wit

00:45:55with the three masters

00:45:56as our judges.

00:45:58In the previous contests

00:45:59we held,

00:46:00we offered modest prizes

00:46:02just a billion or two.

00:46:03But today happens

00:46:04to be my birthday.

00:46:06Therefore,

00:46:06the rewards

00:46:07must 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?

00:46:19Five billion?

00:46:21Five 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 Soloran'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 victorious today,

00:46:42I will personally petition

00:46:44the throne

00:46:44to 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!

00:46:56Duel 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 this time.

00:47:02If you lose,

00:47:03I'll break your legs myself!

00:47:05Philip,

00:47:06you must win this duel.

00:47:07Dad,

00:47:08no one outmatches me.

00:47:10Hmm.

00:47:11Except,

00:47:12maybe 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

00:47:24through hell for the name.

00:47:26With one calculated move,

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

00:47:30Let's begin!

00:47:31Announce your numbers.

00:47:33Confirm if all are present.

00:47:34House Zeller,

00:47:35all present.

00:47:35House 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 of House Wilkins.

00:47:49Philip Reeves of House Reeves.

00:47:51Owen Hayes of House Hayes.

00:47:52Ethan Spencer of House Spencer.

00:47:54Rowan Stone of House Stone.

00:47:55Morgan Zinc of House Zinc.

00:47:56Caleb Zeller of House Zeller.

00:48:00Jude Sterling of House Sterling.

00:48:05All right,

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,

00:48:16calligraphy.

00:48:19Grandpa,

00:48:20just wait and see.

00:48:21Choosing Jude over me

00:48:22will 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!

00:48:32Dad,

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.

00:48:38Round one,

00:48:39intellect.

00:48:40Test your reflexes.

00:48:41Master 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

00:48:47except 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

00:48:55might 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

00:49:05of your knowledge.

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

00:49:08and the challenge is for you

00:49:10to name its source,

00:49:11its history,

00:49:12as well as the exact page

00:49:14where it is from.

00:49:15Huh?

00:49:15I honestly thought

00:49:16the Noble exams

00:49:17would be nothing more

00:49:18than child's play,

00:49:20but these are harsh rules.

00:49:21How thrilling.

00:49:22Truly.

00:49:23Hold on.

00:49:24So you're saying

00:49:25you expect us to know

00:49:26its history

00:49:27and the exact page

00:49:28where 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

00:49:35is hard enough,

00:49:36even for most scholars.

00:49:38And now you're even

00:49:39demanding them

00:49:39to know the page numbers?

00:49:41Nobody can answer that!

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

00:49:43I won't survive in couplets,

00:49:46and this?

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

00:49:49At least humiliation

00:49:50isn'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

00:50:05nearly impossible!

00:50:07Why would you do that?

00:50:10Because

00:50:11this year's contest

00:50:12includes none other

00:50:13than Jude Sterling!

00:50:15Huh?

00:50:16Huh?

00:50:16Because of him,

00:50:17these impossible standards

00:50:18are tailored for him?

00:50:20What makes him so special?

00:50:21Did he actually do this?

00:50:22So this

00:50:22is supposed to be my stage?

00:50:25Is his mastery

00:50:26truly so outstanding

00:50:27just like they say?

00:50:29Round three,

00:50:30calligraphy.

00:50:31This time,

00:50:31it'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

00:50:39to learn all of that!

00:50:40You need ten years

00:50:40to master just one style,

00:50:42but ten styles?

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

00:50:44Prince Southdor

00:50:45never really meant

00:50:46to pay that five billion

00:50:47to anybody!

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

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

00:50:50humiliating.

00:50:51At least Jude volunteered

00:50:52to 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

00:50:59at a time?

00:51:00It's impossible!

00:51:01No mortal

00:51:01has 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,

00:51:28we honor the birthday

00:51:29of Prince Southdor!

00:51:31So my first couplet

00:51:32shall be for longevity!

00:51:34Oh no!

00:51:35Not just a couplet,

00:51:36but a birthday couplet!

00:51:37First line!

00:51:40First line!

00:51:40Eagle 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,

00:51:58and also be about longevity!

00:52:00This is way too difficult!

00:52:01These couplets are tricky,

00:52:02since 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!

00:52:09Eh...

00:52:10Why is everybody quiet?

00:52:12None of you knows?

00:52:13I know that it is difficult,

00:52:15but 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!

00:52:29Bold talk from someone who can't spell doom!

00:52:32Dude, Sterling, right?

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

00:52:35Listen carefully!

00:52:36It'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,

00:52:43you also have to know that-

00:52:44Griffin grants fortune!

00:52:46Through 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,

00:52:54but 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,

00:53:04two through ancient oaks,

00:53:06eagle brings blessings

00:53:07to 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, but he's only ten years old!

00:53:20He 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,

00:53:42young man?

00:53:43Of course!

00:53:44Why wouldn't I?

00:53:47Our Prince Southor 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,

00:54:01listen very carefully!

00:54:03Just wait a minute!

00:54:04Mr. Turner,

00:54:05since when is this his private test?

00:54:06Yeah!

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

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

00:54:10That proves nothing!

00:54:12Huh!

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

00:54:15Impossible!

00:54:15So you're implying that we're not capable,

00:54:17but he somehow is?

00:54:19Exactly!

00:54:20Mr. Turner,

00:54:21do you really think

00:54:21the seven of us will lose to this child?

00:54:23That'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

00:54:34gentle, shimmering glow!

00:54:38This is even more difficult!

00:54:40It sounds simple,

00:54:41but it's deeper!

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

00:54:44You must match both the theme

00:54:45as 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,

00:54:54he may have gotten us this time,

00:54:55but that doesn't mean

00:54:56that 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,

00:55:02but I've already given you

00:55:04ten 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!

00:55:13You know the answer?

00:55:13Already?

00:55:16Then please go ahead!

00:55:18As silver crescents

00:55:19cast gentle, shimmering glow,

00:55:22twice harvest moon's turn...

00:55:28My answer is...

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

00:55:32double the Sage's Prime.

00:55:35Very well!

00:55:36That's the one!

00:55:37Seriously?

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!

00:55:45That's a perfect match!

00:55:47Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:55:49Harvest moons to Sage's Prime,

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

00:55:52That's flawless!

00:55:54A perfect match!

00:55:56Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:55:58Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:56:00Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:56:01My turn!

00:56:02Listen, Jude.

00:56:03Ever since I left,

00:56:05I've been going on this problem,

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

00:56:08This one kept me up!

00:56:10It is surely a genuine mind-melter!

00:56:14Do you think you can answer it this time?

00:56:18Very 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.

00:56:36Mr. Clay, let me hear it.

00:56:41First line.

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

00:56:45Thousands of tiles,

00:56:46hundreds of bricks.

00:56:49Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:56:51How 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.

00:57:01Oh!

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.

00:57:24One 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.

00:57:40Four horsemen.

00:57:41Eight 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.

00:57:51Waters multiplied, creek, lake, and endless sea.

00:57:54Time to level up the questions now.

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

00:58:01Listen closely.

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

00:58:04Where tip meets sky, it breaches.

00:58:05Woods compounded.

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

00:58:08But what?

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

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

00:58:14That's witchcraft!

00:58:15All right.

00:58:16I'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 that one?

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

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

00:58:29Nobody's ever solved that riddle for ages!

00:58:31Wait, 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.

00:58:46Joe'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.

00:58:59But if they all call it unsolvable, then it'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!

00:59:11I'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,

00:59:28the 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,

00:59:41as this problem remains unsolved for ages.

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

00:59:47What is this unsolvable riddle of yours?

00:59:52Listen well.

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

00:59:56What 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?

01:00:05Hmm.

01:00:06Interesting.

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, must 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,

01:00:29yet you're being so quiet now.

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

01:00:33All right.

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 versus?

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!

01:01:07The 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, my rhythm drew,

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, this is no mere imagery only.

01:01:31What we have here is alliteration!

01:01:34A flawless line!

01:01:36An impossible standard!

01:01:37All starts with L!

01:01:39Indeed, all L initials!

01:01:40Lotus starts 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 won!

01:01:53You made things difficult!

01:01:54Lotus leaf, lilac, well, lake lichen,

01:01:56L starts with L!

01:01:58The art is in the sound!

01:01:59Exactly!

01:02:00Oh god, how did I miss that?

01:02:03Guards, remove this jester from this hall now!

01:02:07I'm sorry, I'm begging you!

01:02:09I am ready to answer.

01:02:11Not again?

01:02:12Is he bluffing 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,

01:02:18but 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 insolvable line, he 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, what was on your mind?

01:02:44What's on my mind?

01:02:45To reduce your legendary chest 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's on my mind?

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're 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 roast 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, the fifth,

01:03:38brook bend, 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. Barrett's bowing to him!

01:04:01You really want to learn from me?

01:04:05Right now,

01:04:06you still don't qualify.

01:04:09What did you say?

01:04:10That's way too cocky!

01:04:11How dare you!

01:04:12Mr. Barrett even bowed to him!

01:04:13And he turned him down!

01:04:14Who does it think he is?

01:04:16Mr. Barrett doesn't qualify?

01:04:17How dare you!

01:04:18Who taught you that?

01:04:19Mr. Barrett kneeling to him?

01:04:20This world has gone completely mad!

01:04:22He actually refused him!

01:04:24Even if he said no,

01:04:25he 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,

01:04:31we're looking at a true legend!

01:04:33If that's the case,

01:04:35then he really doesn't measure up!

01:04:37Maybe even I fall short of the standard as well!

01:04:41Can we finally move on to the next trial?

01:04:43Chester, stand up!

01:04:45You simply don't have the qualities that he requires!

01:04:49What?

01:04:50Stand up!

01:04:51The Lunamount delegation

01:04:52will explain everything!

01:04:54Lunamount?

01:04:55So you mean

01:04:56the Solorane's protectors,

01:04:58the Lunamounts?

01:04:58According to legends,

01:05:00even the Emperor must train with them!

01:05:01They work side-by-side with each other!

01:05:04They're really dispatching the Envoys?

01:05:08I didn't know

01:05:09that the Prince has this connection

01:05:11that even the Lunamounts attend his birthday!

01:05:14No way!

01:05:15This can't be real!

01:05:17Grandpa,

01:05:17what exactly is the Lunamount?

01:05:19They're what they call

01:05:20the real deities!

01:05:22They wield

01:05:23so much power

01:05:24that even the royalty

01:05:25are forced to kneel!

01:05:27They 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

01:05:35your little pond, you know?

01:05:36If Lunamount ever considered

01:05:38taking me in,

01:05:39who cares about inheritance?

01:05:41Arch-Sage would mean nothing!

01:05:42All mortal achievements

01:05:44are dust before them!

01:05:45Every name fades to nothing

01:05:46in 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

01:05:55to reach them!

01:05:56Their simple approval

01:05:57could make you filthy rich!

01:05:58Even if

01:05:59you become their floor scrubber!

01:06:01A servant?

01:06:01Any servant of theirs

01:06:03gets to have equal treatment

01:06:04from the rich

01:06:05and even from the nobility!

01:06:07What?

01:06:11What?

01:06:12Lunamount?

01:06:13From how they are acting?

01:06:14They must be a mystic sect

01:06:16in this world!

01:06:18Hmph!

01:06:19How intriguing!

01:06:30Hello, Hank!

01:06:32If he came all the way here

01:06:33just for nothing...

01:06:34I'll skin you alive!

01:06:35I wouldn't dare lie

01:06:36to 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

01:06:46spiritual energy

01:06:47in the city!

01:06:47Ha ha ha!

01:06:48The entire city?

01:06:50Are you out of your mind?

01:06:51That kind of power

01:06:52requires a least

01:06:53trinity convergence!

01:06:54How could such a person exist?

01:06:56That's why

01:06:56I asked you to come here

01:06:58to verify it!

01:07:04our master is coming with

01:07:05after hearing this!

01:07:07Start preparing!

01:07:07He'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,

01:07:21isn'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 a disciple?

01:07:39You're on the verge

01:07:40of trinity convergence already!

01:07:42Trinity convergence?

01:07:44Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

01:07:45The world believes

01:07:47that I'm close to achieving it,

01:07:49yet it is

01:07:49a 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,

01:08:04I 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

01:08:14to continue to the second trial.

01:08:17Indeed, you're right.

01:08:18Though the first test

01:08:20measured intellect,

01:08:21he's shown us

01:08:22extraordinary talents

01:08:24that makes him

01:08:25deserving of being

01:08:27the 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.

01:08:35Hmm.

01:08:36Bring the ink and brush!

01:08:43How shall we conduct this,

01:08:45honorable judges?

01:08:46Please decide.

01:08:47If Mr. Clay

01:08:49insists that he knows

01:08:50all the ten artistic styles

01:08:52of calligraphy,

01:08:53let's see.

01:08:54Let him prove to us

01:08:55that he can actually write.

01:08:57Very well.

01:08:58Then let him demonstrate

01:08:59these ten styles.

01:09:01Ten?

01:09:01Really?

01:09:02That's impossible.

01:09:03Nobody does that.

01:09:05Yeah.

01:09:06Chester,

01:09:07you're suggesting...

01:09:09Write 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

01:09:20the immortal creed ten times.

01:09:23And each of the times

01:09:24should be written

01:09:25in 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.

01:09:34Ten styles is humanly impossible.

01:09:36Silence!

01:09:38Jude,

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

01:09:51he 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.

01:10:00Same.

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

01:10:06a scholarly contest.

01:10:07The tests they gave us

01:10:09were beyond any of us.

01:10:10We're just foil for him.

01:10:11exactly.

01:10:12This trial

01:10:13is completely meaningless.

01:10:15And now,

01:10:16you want us to write

01:10:17the sacred text

01:10:17in 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.

01:10:25Unless,

01:10:28such exquisite brushstroke.

01:10:32His grip,

01:10:34the ink flow,

01:10:35impossibly steady.

01:10:36He moves the brush

01:10:37like he has mastered it

01:10:38for 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,

01:10:46are you convinced yet?

01:10:48He writes like he is

01:10:49the master

01:10:50of the brush.

01:10:53careful.

01:11:02The 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

01:11:11the flow of his writing?

01:11:12Indeed.

01:11:13Can you see how

01:11:14each character's pulse?

01:11:15As if the ink has a soul.

01:11:16Good.

01:11:17Such an excellent mastery.

01:11:26Be careful holding it.

01:11:28The ink's still wet.

01:11:31The italic script?

01:11:34The 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.

01:11:48Is he for real?

01:11:50Indeed.

01:11:51How does he know

01:11:51all of this?

01:11:54Prodigy.

01:11:56Absolute prodigy.

01:11:58Your mom once told me

01:12:00that even if they

01:12:00called you mute,

01:12:01she always saw

01:12:02the genius in you

01:12:03at an early age.

01:12:05I...

01:12:05I believe that too,

01:12:07but I lack the courage

01:12:08to speak up.

01:12:17Clerical script?

01:12:18Is this clerical script?

01:12:19It's authentic

01:12:20clerical script.

01:12:21Unbelievable.

01:12:22He actually knows it.

01:12:24So what if he knows it?

01:12:26Talon is nothing

01:12:27without backing.

01:12:28The Lunamounts are coming.

01:12:29If I can win

01:12:30the Lunamounts' favor,

01:12:31then I can still

01:12:32crush you into dirt,

01:12:33Jude.

01:12:34A mute's a mute.

01:12:36You'll forever

01:12:36be a broken child to me.

01:12:38Even with all your words,

01:12:40you still look

01:12:40utterly helpless to me.

01:12:46Master!

01:12:46Disciple Hank!

01:12:48What script is this?

01:12:50Have you seen this?

01:12:51What's this?

01:12:52It's artistic,

01:12:53but what it is,

01:12:54I don't know.

01:12:54Did he invent that?

01:12:55Wait, it's...

01:12:57Carolingian minuscule.

01:12:58What's that?

01:13:02This is Carolingian minuscule.

01:13:04In Charlemagne's era.

01:13:06Thin yet full-bodied.

01:13:07He didn't just study it.

01:13:08He actually mastered it.

01:13:10You really are full of surprises.

01:13:25Enough with the writing.

01:13:28What?

01:13:29After Unchal's script

01:13:30and Carolingian minuscule,

01:13:32I knew it.

01:13:33No one in this world

01:13:35can be a rival to you.

01:13:37Ha ha ha ha ha.

01:13:43There's no need

01:13:44to prove yourself

01:13:45to these plebeians.

01:13:47You're the champion.

01:13:49Huh?

01:13:51It's over just like that,

01:13:52champion?

01:13:53What?

01:13:53I have no arguments.

01:13:56You've earned this title.

01:13:59The champion is

01:14:00Jude Sterling

01:14:02of House Sterling.

01:14:07Wow, he actually won it.

01:14:09Our champion.

01:14:11Our family hasn't produced

01:14:12such genius in many decades.

01:14:16It's a title well earned.

01:14:18I never bow.

01:14:19Yet today,

01:14:20I yield to you completely.

01:14:22Congratulations!

01:14:24I fully yield to you, Jude.

01:14:26House Sterling.

01:14:32Tell me,

01:14:33does this level of glory

01:14:34suffice for you?

01:14:37Is this high enough?

01:14:38Or must I raise you

01:14:40even higher,

01:14:41pushing you behind

01:14:41every mortal limit?

01:14:43Something's off.

01:14:45What's happening to them?

01:14:51Ah,

01:14:52this way, please.

01:14:53Andy,

01:14:54this had better not be

01:14:55false intel.

01:14:56Of course.

01:14:57I'd never lie.

01:14:58At worst,

01:14:59he's a young genius.

01:15:00Geniuses are a dime a dozen.

01:15:02To us unworldly mystics,

01:15:03they are insects

01:15:04beneath our feet.

01:15:06Of course.

01:15:07Benjamin Sterling,

01:15:08answer me now.

01:15:10Was your House of Sterling

01:15:11elevated 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,

01:15:21stop!

01:15:22Shut up!

01:15:24Jude Sterling,

01:15:25don't get cocky

01:15:26just because you won.

01:15:27The award!

01:15:28It belonged to Arshan!

01:15:30I am asking you,

01:15:32was it enough?

01:15:33If you're satisfied,

01:15:34I fulfilled my promise to you.

01:15:36Now it's your family's turn.

01:15:38Time to honor your deal.

01:15:44Kneel at my mother's grave

01:15:46in mourning robes.

01:15:47Admit you were wrong!

01:15:49Jude Sterling,

01:15:50I don't recall making

01:15:51such promises to anyone.

01:15:58Though I agreed with your condition,

01:16:00your mom was still just a woman

01:16:02unworthy of my dignity.

01:16:04I am the patriarch,

01:16:06the face of the family,

01:16:07and my forehead

01:16:08has never touched dirt.

01:16:10So you intend to deny

01:16:11the oath you made?

01:16:12Jude,

01:16:13be reasonable.

01:16:15We belong

01:16:16to a noble family.

01:16:17Face matters more

01:16:18than promises.

01:16:19Remember that.

01:16:20So just accept the reward,

01:16:23and all our wealth

01:16:24will be transferred to you.

01:16:26Dad!

01:16:26If you won't give in,

01:16:29then forget it.

01:16:31Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

01:16:33Do you think

01:16:34I care about wealth?

01:16:35You must be kidding me.

01:16:37I don't care

01:16:37about your treasures.

01:16:39Those are nothing

01:16:39but dust to me.

01:16:41I've surpassed

01:16:42your petty realm entirely.

01:16:44Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

01:16:46What a very noble speech.

01:16:47I'm really touched.

01:17:01I, Southdore,

01:17:02pay my respects

01:17:03to the Master of Lunamount

01:17:04and Head Disciple.

01:17:16What?

01:17:20Master of Lunamount!

01:17:22Lunamount Envoys,

01:17:23did it just show up here?

01:17:24The Master even came in person.

01:17:25That's their Master.

01:17:30The Master's here.

01:17:31Why aren't you kneeling?

01:17:32Do you all have a death wish?

01:17:34Even the Prince

01:17:35is kneeling to them.

01:17:36Get down, now!

01:17:37Oh.

01:17:38All hail Master of Lunamount!

01:17:43Just a normal,

01:17:44young boy.

01:17:45Is this guy

01:17:46what they call a mystic?

01:17:47Barely a divine nexus tier.

01:17:49I don't feel any power

01:17:50coming from this boy.

01:17:52Either he's

01:17:53way stronger than me,

01:17:55I can't see through him,

01:17:57or he's just a nobody.

01:17:59You!

01:18:00On your knees now!

01:18:08Who do you think you are?

01:18:10He's got a death wish!

01:18:12What a waste.

01:18:12Top of the world

01:18:13and dead the next.

01:18:14Kneel now.

01:18:15How dare you

01:18:15disrespect Lunamount!

01:18:17He's gonna get us

01:18:18killed this time!

01:18:19Do you even hear yourself,

01:18:21young man?

01:18:22I said,

01:18:23who do you think you are?

01:18:27I'm the head disciple

01:18:28of Lunamount!

01:18:29My name is

01:18:30Hank Kaltavian!

01:18:31Lunamount?

01:18:32Are they important?

01:18:34He's got a death wish!

01:18:37Lunamount is

01:18:38Solorane's protector!

01:18:39Every top cultivator

01:18:40in the Empire

01:18:41gathers there!

01:18:42We have 300 disciples!

01:18:44On your knees!

01:18:45Plead for the sake

01:18:46of your 300 disciples!

01:18:47Were it not for my mercy,

01:18:49you won't be here

01:18:49breathing!

01:18:51Do you even know

01:18:52what you're talking about?

01:18:54He just threatened

01:18:55to exterminate them!

01:18:56Is he out of his mind?

01:19:00Is he really a mystic?

01:19:02If he is,

01:19:04how strong must he be

01:19:05to talk like that?

01:19:06If not,

01:19:07is he just some

01:19:08reckless kid

01:19:08running his mouth?

01:19:10He doesn't even understand

01:19:11the weight of the words

01:19:12he's using.

01:19:13And now what?

01:19:15Am I about to get

01:19:16dragged into this mess too?

01:19:18Dude!

01:19:19Get on your knees

01:19:20and beg for forgiveness!

01:19:22Kneel down!

01:19:32He's an outcast

01:19:33from our family!

01:19:34Whatever he said

01:19:34has nothing to do with us!

01:19:36Nothing at all!

01:19:37Please have mercy!

01:19:38Please punish him!

01:19:38Not us!

01:19:39He's not a sterling!

01:19:40He doesn't speak for us!

01:19:41We already cast him out

01:19:42a long time ago!

01:19:43Please don't drag us

01:19:44into this!

01:19:45I'm begging you!

01:19:46Am I still a sterling?

01:19:50Am I still a sterling?

01:19:52No!

01:19:53You never were!

01:19:54You're just a cast off!

01:19:55So am I abandoned?

01:19:57Ugh!

01:19:57Master!

01:19:58He's not a sterling!

01:19:59Yeah!

01:20:00We already disowned him!

01:20:01We exiled him!

01:20:03It's true!

01:20:03Seven 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!

01:20:10Kill 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

01:20:21to secure victory for you

01:20:23and 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!

01:20:36You're never a sterling!

01:20:39Shoot!

01:20:39Dad!

01:20:39What are you talking about?

01:20:43Dad!

01:20:44What are you talking about?

01:20:45Shut up!

01:20:47Love!

01:20:48I just felt the baby move!

01:20:59I'm done with this!

01:21:00All your lives,

01:21:01you've drowned in vanity and greed!

01:21:03Too ashamed to even acknowledge

01:21:04your own blood!

01:21:06Seven years ago,

01:21:07when Jude was only three years old,

01:21:09all of you,

01:21:10you threw him out of the house!

01:21:12You said,

01:21:13we only breed prodigies!

01:21:15That my mute child

01:21:17would shame us all!

01:21:18You're lying!

01:21:19Stop with the lies!

01:21:20He's only three years old,

01:21:22and you simply threw him out!

01:21:24You even exiled him

01:21:25with my wife!

01:21:26When I refused,

01:21:27you called me disloyal,

01:21:29but I said no!

01:21:30Then you called me

01:21:31the ungrateful son,

01:21:33clueless about the big picture!

01:21:34Well,

01:21:35screw that!

01:21:35You don't know

01:21:36what 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,

01:21:45I wasn't there for them either!

01:21:47I've been living with guilt,

01:21:48and it eats me up every day!

01:21:50He only wanted to bring

01:21:51you home

01:21:52because the prince expects

01:21:53the perfect family!

01:21:55But I know

01:21:56that you're only using him!

01:21:59You're only using him!

01:22:02But me?

01:22:03I'll take it!

01:22:03You know why?

01:22:06I get to see my son again.

01:22:12Now I can proudly say

01:22:14that he is my son again!

01:22:16All you wanted

01:22:17was to parade his kills 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?

01:22:25Luny Mount shows up,

01:22:27Jude won't bow to them,

01:22:28and suddenly he's

01:22:30no longer one of us!

01:22:31So 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,

01:22:44then sweet-talked him

01:22:45into coming back home,

01:22:48only 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,

01:22:56a ten-year-old still managed

01:22:57to outshine the legends?

01:22:59Live or die today, kid.

01:23:01You're already my hero,

01:23:03Jude Sterling!

01:23:04He's wrong!

01:23:05He's not one of us!

01:23:07Not since I kicked him out!

01:23:09He's not one of us

01:23:10since seven years ago!

01:23:11Fine!

01:23:12deny him!

01:23:15But today,

01:23:16I'm finally stepping up!

01:23:18I'm Jude's father!

01:23:20My name

01:23:21is

01:23:22Anthony Sterling!

01:23:24Ha ha ha ha!

01:23:26I understand it now,

01:23:28I get it.

01:23:30Hey, kid.

01:23:30I 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,

01:23:43you're going to meet your end.

01:23:45Andy!

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

01:23:56and really talented.

01:23:57However,

01:23:58don't blame me for what comes next.

01:24:00After today,

01:24:01you'll be Dawnshire's greatest prodigy

01:24:03with your name resounding

01:24:04throughout the entire empire.

01:24:06Just name your prize!

01:24:08You!

01:24:08Move it.

01:24:10Jude.

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

01:24:24how it ends you.

01:24:26You brat!

01:24:35Shadow Thornstrike?

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,

01:24:49I didn't kill him.

01:24:50Don't you worry.

01:24:52I simply guided him

01:24:53towards paradise.

01:25:01He has the Petal Trail.
