They Thought I Was Dumb — I'm Not Even Human

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 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 Solaraid.

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 vermants like you in another life.

00:01:33I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't mean it. That was a joke.

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

00:01:40Look, everyone in this world only sees me as the pathetic, mute outcast of the Sterlings.

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.

00:01:52That's why they called me...

00:01:54Hollow 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!

00:02:07I walk the path of mercy, a journey that leans towards the gate of enlightenment.

00:02:11Yet you fixate only on my 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 his holy light, the javelins were parasites leeching off the villagers down the mountain.

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

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

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

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

00:02:51If no divine hand guides me...

00:02:54Then I shall guide myself.

00:03:07From this day forward, as long as I cultivate in silence for eight years,

00:03:12I'll reclaim my power from my past life.

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

00:03:17Say 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.

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

00:03:48Mark 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.

00:04:22You 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 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.

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

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

00:05:19It's not your fault that you were born mute.

00:05:22You 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!

00:05:33Jude, kneel and show your gratitude.

00:05:37Wait, 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, and 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!

00:06:05How 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 bound by blood,

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

00:06:22I 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.

00:06:40What?

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.

00:07:05Indeed.

00:07:06It's late.

00:07:07Time passed by so quickly.

00:07:09Lydia?

00:07:10Take 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.

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

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

00:07:36Otherwise, I curse you to hell.

00:07:38Hold it.

00:07:39At the princess' upcoming banquet, every noble will be watching.

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

00:07:48Also, if I'm not mistaken, the banquet will include a literary duel among the noble heirs.

00:07:56Grandpa, why are you wasting your breath on a peasant?

00:07:58Does 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.

00:08:31I 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.

00:08:43He 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.

00:09:27Cast 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.

00:09:54Yet, 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.

00:10:09What an arrogant kid.

00:10:12Go home and rest.

00:10:13As you wish.

00:10:20This writing feels so familiar.

00:10:23Where have I seen this before?

00:10:27Benjamin!

00:10:28Wake up!

00:10:29Look at this!

00:10:29This one is the princess' treasured fragment.

00:10:32Charlemagne surviving work!

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

00:10:35Observe it carefully, or our relatives will take it.

00:10:38Mother, what is this?

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

00:10:41That's Carolingian minuscule.

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

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

00:10:49How dare you take this!

00:10:50The princess' treasure is far above your station!

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

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

00:11:00I'm sorry.

00:11:05Benjamin, how much did you memorize?

00:11:11Karolingian minuscule!

00:11:13But that kid is only ten years old!

00:11:16Could it be that he is the prodigy the 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!

00:11:47Our 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.

00:11:59Did that amuse you?

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

00:12:05What 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.

00:12:13But I'll have to admit, this inkstand is genuine.

00:12:17Two 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.

00:12:36Also, 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.

00:12:54The sterling household is full of illiterate masters and bowing, groveling servants.

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

00:13:04Hmph.

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.

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

00:13:18Mrs. 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.

00:13:26Please stand up for me, Mrs. Wilkins.

00:13:28That mute brat attacked me.

00:13:30What?

00:13:31How dare he?

00:13:32Don't worry.

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

00:13:34Thank 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.

00:13:48Mr. Clay?

00:13:49Are you talking about Mr. Henry Clay, who used to mentor Master Sean?

00:13:53Yes.

00:13:54That was him.

00:13:55His temper is legendary.

00:13:56And wow, he's in it for tomorrow.

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

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

00:14:06Eight 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.

00:14:17One more day, and I'll finally achieve the great perfection.

00:14:20Eight long years of total silence.

00:14:23This is killing me.

00:14:28There's something divine in the air.

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

00:14:33I can feel that hunger.

00:14:36Like a black hole.

00:14:38This 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.

00:14:50Mr. Jensen in the council chamber.

00:14:51This cannot wait.

00:14:54Your Highness.

00:14:54There's been a disaster.

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

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

00:14:59He 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.

00:15:13His power surpasses mortal limits.

00:15:16Teetering of demonic.

00:15:17How 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.

00:15:29I wonder if I can be ever truly worthy enough to witness him fully unveiled in all his glory.

00:15:36Toward the Sterlings?

00:15:38What kind of being?

00:15:39What kind of power could devour the energy of an entire city with such force?

00:15:44It's heading towards the Sterlings?

00:15:47Unbelievable.

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

00:15:50I 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 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.

00:16:12Soon enough, my old power will ignite.

00:16:26This boy is plain looking imbued.

00:16:29I'm Henry.

00:16:30You're Jude Sterling?

00:16:31Your family paid a fortune to have me educate you.

00:16:35Or rather, to teach you the alphabet.

00:16:39If he weren't born as Sterling, he'd never get to encounter a literary genius like me.

00:16:45And 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.

00:16:56Here are seven books.

00:16:58Choose one.

00:16:59I will drill you for 15 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.

00:17:07And this is the profound heritage they boast about?

00:17:11Hilarious.

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

00:17:14And yes, these texts are far beyond your comprehension.

00:17:18But then...

00:17:20Enough with your charades.

00:17:22Hurry.

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

00:17:27The alien.

00:17:34What do you mean by that?

00:17:41Are 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.

00:17:50You actually expect to study them all?

00:17:52Let me tell you.

00:17:53Even ants cannot move mountains.

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

00:17:58Then what do you mean?

00:18:00Stop toying with me.

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

00:18:03Were it not for the Sterlings, you...

00:18:16This pressure and this flow.

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

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

00:18:23I had already mastered all of this by the time I was three.

00:18:27Lines flow free.

00:18:28No rigid rows.

00:18:29Grace found in chaos.

00:18:30Ball strobe stands.

00:18:31The 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.

00:18:38Controlled yet elegant.

00:18:40To truly reach the mastery of this craft,

00:18:42one must first conquer both gothic and cursive styles.

00:18:45Yet somehow,

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

00:18:51Now you choose silence.

00:18:56A backwater mute?

00:18:58Possessing imperial grade calligraphy?

00:19:00What utter nonsense.

00:19:02It'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.

00:19:11Very well.

00:19:12Let's see you prove it.

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

00:19:20which Roman general boldly crossed the Rubicon declaring,

00:19:23the tie is cast.

00:19:24Do you know that?

00:19:26Now tell me,

00:19:27against whom did he wage this great civil war?

00:19:32Julius...

00:19:34Caesar.

00:19:39He waged his civil war

00:19:41against Pompey the Great,

00:19:43once his own ally.

00:19:45And his partner?

00:19:47Crassus and Pompey.

00:19:49You'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.

00:19:56Finish this line.

00:19:57From Cicero.

00:19:58O Tempora.

00:19:59O Moris.

00:20:01From Cotillinarians.

00:20:02Denouncing Caitline's conspiracy.

00:20:03Which speech was it?

00:20:04The first Cotillinarian.

00:20:06He breathes the classics.

00:20:08Fortune favors the bold.

00:20:10Whose famous words are these?

00:20:12Write it down.

00:20:13Virgil's Aeneid.

00:20:15Dulce at the Choral Mess.

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

00:20:18Pro patria mori.

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

00:20:22The 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.

00:20:32He chose pride over war.

00:20:35Who 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.

00:20:49This is truly next-level Homeric wisdom.

00:20:55I'm unworthy to be your teacher.

00:20:57Your wisdom and talent are far beyond mine.

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

00:21:04I believe that.

00:21:05Your brilliance is on another level.

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

00:21:09What three years old?

00:21:10I wasn't talking about this life.

00:21:12I'm talking about a life long ago.

00:21:16I must be off.

00:21:19I was a fool to scorn the whispers of wisdom.

00:21:22Divine wisdom met my eyes today.

00:21:25Jude Sterling.

00:21:26After tomorrow, your name will echo across the entire city.

00:21:30You absolutely have to attend the Prince's Feast tomorrow.

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

00:21:36That means tomorrow at the banquet, that will be his defining moment.

00:21:48The italic script.

00:21:51Is this the piece he wrote?

00:21:53Even his italic writing seems to dance on paper.

00:21:56His skills are otherworldly.

00:21:58Crowned with confidence.

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

00:22:03Hello, sir.

00:22:06Frame this.

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

00:22:08Use 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?

00:22:37Dad, Jude won't be able to learn in time.

00:22:40Even Mr. Clay gave up while trying to teach him this morning.

00:22:43That's true, Dad.

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

00:22:46The servants reported to me that they saw the tutor left Jude's study by noon.

00:22:51Dad, 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.

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

00:23:06The wind is howling strangely.

00:23:08That'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?

00:23:36I can sense that.

00:23:39Our meeting with the powerful being is drawing near.

00:23:43Are you sure?

00:23:44So Jensen has finally won their approval.

00:23:48What about me?

00:23:49Where does that leave me?

00:23:58Soon.

00:23:59Almost there.

00:24:07Done at last.

00:24:13Trinity crowned.

00:24:14My breakthrough's done.

00:24:16I've transcended.

00:24:17Trinity convergence achieved at H-10.

00:24:19I've matched my past life's peak.

00:24:21I read the celestial signs that the hollow fryer of legend has returned.

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

00:24:36What's taking him so long?

00:24:38Where is he?

00:24:38Grandpa.

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

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

00:24:43Exactly.

00:24:44Nothing will change even if he won't go with us today.

00:24:46She's right, Dad.

00:24:47The other nobles will mock us if we parade a mute in front of everyone.

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

00:24:53He lacks all cultured grace.

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

00:24:57He goes.

00:24:58And that's why I'm...

00:24:59But, Grandpa...

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

00:25:05I was a fool to scorn the whispers of wisdom.

00:25:08Divine wisdom met my eyes today.

00:25:10You absolutely have to attend the Prince's Feast tomorrow.

00:25:14This time, perhaps Jude may astonish all the noble guests.

00:25:19The entire Sterling clan and even the Prince.

00:25:23Move it, sir.

00:25:25Hurry.

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

00:25:28Hurry, Jude.

00:25:36Alright.

00:25:38Everyone'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.

00:25:53It's been far too long.

00:25:54It has finally come.

00:25:56All noble houses will assemble.

00:25:57I expect you to completely stun every single one of them in the scholarly duel.

00:26:01Besides, Mr. Clay is your former mentor.

00:26:04I'm very sure that he will back you up during the duel.

00:26:06Your success in that duel will shine like a favorable light on Mr. Clay in front of the royalty.

00:26:15Jude, today's feast is merely a ceremony.

00:26:18What matters the most is the intellectual contest they will be holding.

00:26:22As I have predicted, your cousin Sean will try to stun everyone.

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

00:26:28You see, 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.

00:26:36Your uncle fears your claim.

00:26:38Once Sean gets the position, he'll exile you for sure.

00:26:41Unless the Prince acknowledges you.

00:26:44However, that won't happen.

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

00:26:50For many years, I've prepared for this moment.

00:26:55Just heed me this once.

00:26:57Starting now, humble yourself.

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

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

00:27:06Perhaps you'll even have an audience with the Prince today.

00:27:09Stick close to him, you'll at least get recognized.

00:27:13What's with that smirk?

00:27:17I, Jude Sterling, will bow to no man.

00:27:21Must you always defy me?

00:27:24I, Jude Sterling, will bow to no man.

00:27:28You can speak now.

00:27:31You're not a mute.

00:27:32Indeed, I never was.

00:27:42What do you want from us?

00:27:46Oh, well.

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

00:27:51Oh, nice to see everybody here.

00:27:55I believe he's here.

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

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

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

00:28:07He's the literary comment, Philip Reeves.

00:28:11Everyone speaks of you.

00:28:12A true prodigy in literature since your teens.

00:28:14This way, please.

00:28:17So what you're saying is, the Sterling's heir, a mute kid,

00:28:20wields diverse script styles,

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

00:28:27That's impossible.

00:28:28Ten years old?

00:28:29He couldn't have mastered that unless he started studying while still in the womb.

00:28:35For this hearsay, I'd dismiss it.

00:28:39Honestly, it's a shame that the child cannot speak.

00:28:44From the Dawnshire Reeves, their lord and rising star, Philip Reeves, here to offer their eternal blessings.

00:28:50Philip Reeves?

00:28:51That reclusive prodigy graces us.

00:28:53He may soon stand among Solorin's literary masters.

00:28:56Ah, my brilliant student at last.

00:28:59Master, I hope you are well.

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

00:29:08He is a true gentleman indeed.

00:29:11Bearing of a classical scholar.

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

00:29:16Coming to wish the prince enduring prosperity and honor.

00:29:20They're finally here.

00:29:21Come, let's go.

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

00:29:24I'll be the one to judge myself what sort of prodigy he truly is.

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

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

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

00:29:34He's a complete imbecile.

00:29:35I wonder who.

00:29:36They have no one else but Sean.

00:29:38And he's totally useless.

00:29:39Mr. Sterling, it's been too long.

00:29:41Mr. Sterling, it was just a warm up.

00:29:44Yet his brilliance was clear even in that brief moment.

00:29:48Today on the grand stage,

00:29:49he will awe the Solorin with this divine presence.

00:29:53I told you, Jude,

00:29:54your name will carry like a mighty roar throughout a Solorin.

00:29:57So what if you're mute?

00:29:59Where's Anthony?

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

00:30:01No idea.

00:30:02No matter.

00:30:03Let's go in.

00:30:05Huh?

00:30:05Oh.

00:30:08My reputation truly carries this much weight now.

00:30:11The three literary giants together with these powerful high lords.

00:30:14They're all here just for me.

00:30:16I raised the great sun.

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

00:30:22Sir Jensen.

00:30:23I have this strange feeling.

00:30:26Me too, your highness.

00:30:28He's getting close.

00:30:30I can sense it.

00:30:32That powerful presence is sneering.

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

00:30:37Prince Southar, Mr. Jensen.

00:30:39Where is everyone?

00:30:40The Sterlings are here.

00:30:41Mr. Clay and the other masters went to welcome them.

00:30:43Even the others have followed.

00:30:45The Sterlings?

00:30:49In that case,

00:30:51we shouldn't miss this.

00:30:58Mr. Clay, Mr. Barrett, Mr. Turner.

00:31:01You honor me too much.

00:31:02You flatter me.

00:31:08Dad.

00:31:08What's going on?

00:31:09Dad, what was that?

00:31:12There he is.

00:31:19That's Jude Sterling.

00:31:20He has the dignity of a true gentleman.

00:31:25It's rare for a kitten these times.

00:31:28Jude Sterling?

00:31:29But wait.

00:31:29Who is Jude?

00:31:30Who is he?

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

00:31:33But that brat has never spoken a word.

00:31:36Seb.

00:31:37Does Sterling mute air?

00:31:38Jude Sterling's here?

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

00:31:42We've been waiting for you.

00:31:44Hail to Prince Southar.

00:31:48The prince has arrived.

00:31:50Hail to Prince Southar.

00:31:51May your highness reign with greatness for Melania.

00:31:55Hail to Prince Southar.

00:31:57May your highness reign with greatness for Melania.

00:32:00Hail to Prince Southar.

00:32:02Hail to Prince Southar.

00:32:06Hey, Jude.

00:32:07On your knees.

00:32:08The prince demands respect.

00:32:10Kneel?

00:32:11The one you should kneel is him.

00:32:16Jude.

00:32:17What are you doing?

00:32:18Stop it.

00:32:19On your knees.

00:32:21This is bad.

00:32:22This is treason.

00:32:23Is he trying to get us all killed?

00:32:41Are you Prince Southar?

00:32:45Are you Prince Southar?

00:32:49Wasn't he mute?

00:32:50What?

00:32:50Why is he speaking?

00:32:51He's not a mute.

00:32:52Impossible.

00:32:52The grandson.

00:32:53Wasn't he the mute one?

00:32:54How dare you?

00:32:55Get down on your knees for the prince.

00:32:58We're doomed.

00:32:59Your highness.

00:33:00We renounced him years ago.

00:33:01He's not our kin.

00:33:02We're not related.

00:33:06Step back.

00:33:08But your highness.

00:33:09Step back.

00:33:10As you wish.

00:33:14He never holds back.

00:33:16Rise now.

00:33:17All of you.

00:33:18Thank you, your highness.

00:33:19Mr. Jensen and I heard that Mr. Clay brought everyone out here to greet you personally once

00:33:25you arrive.

00:33:26So we thought we had to see what the commotion is all about.

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

00:33:32Frankly speaking, the only reason I came here was for him.

00:33:36Oh?

00:33:36And what is so special about this young man?

00:33:39The boy commands the brush like an immortal master.

00:33:41After every technique, aged to perfection, he moves with the grace of masters.

00:33:47A ten-year-old boy like an immortal?

00:33:50Mr. Clay, your arithmetic is failing you now.

00:33:54Not just that.

00:33:56He's also astonishingly learned a walking library.

00:33:59A walking library?

00:34:02Mr. Clay, age must have dulled your mind.

00:34:05Are you seriously claiming that a child's babble counts as philosophy now?

00:34:09Maybe next time you'll claim that he invented writing.

00:34:13He's gone crazy.

00:34:17Mr. Clay, age must have dulled your mind.

00:34:21I saw it with my own eyes.

00:34:22I warn you not to judge him by sooth.

00:34:24Of all the scholars I've met, he alone possesses the greatest literary genius like a demon.

00:34:35Mr. Clay, I know that you wish to impress the prince today, but this has gone from ambition to outright

00:34:40madness.

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

00:34:42Silence!

00:34:42Yes, master.

00:34:46Benjamin, Mr. Clay claims that your grandson is exceptional.

00:34:50Is this all true?

00:34:52No.

00:34:53Careful, your highness.

00:34:54It's clear that Brad is putting on an act.

00:34:56Mr. Clay must have been tricked by him.

00:34:58John, shut up!

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

00:35:01You're blind not to see his brilliance.

00:35:03Silence!

00:35:04If you had even a tenth of Jude's talent, he'd dominate the literary world.

00:35:09What?

00:35:10A tenth of his talent?

00:35:11Mr. Clay's gone mad.

00:35:13He lost his senses.

00:35:14How can he even compare that backwater brat to my son?

00:35:20All talk and no proof.

00:35:22Well then, let the literary duels decide.

00:35:24Since Mr. Clay speaks so highly of your abilities,

00:35:27Why don't you fight for your family's honor, June Sterling?

00:35:32Represent the House of Sterling?

00:35:34What makes them worthy of my efforts?

00:35:36No way!

00:35:37Absolutely not!

00:35:40He'll humiliate all of us!

00:35:41I'm the genius of our house!

00:35:43The undisputed genius of our generation!

00:35:46I've prepared for this contest for many years!

00:35:49But what about him?

00:35:50A pathetic mute!

00:35:51Why should he take my place?

00:35:53Silence!

00:35:53I won't!

00:35:54Master, I'm the one!

00:35:56I said be quiet!

00:35:58Sir!

00:36:01Mr. Clay has spoken.

00:36:03You're not even one-tenth of Jude's wisdom!

00:36:08Grandpa, but I...

00:36:10By Sunset, you will understand.

00:36:14We'll follow the princess' commands.

00:36:17I, too, believe that Jude can redefine what genius truly means.

00:36:21He'll show everyone...

00:36:22You're just bluffing!

00:36:23What? Redefine?

00:36:24Ridiculous!

00:36:25They'll just embarrass themselves!

00:36:27I haven't agreed to anything.

00:36:30Please, Jude.

00:36:31Will you just do as you're cold?

00:36:36Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:36:38Good!

00:36:39There is just one last thing I want to know.

00:36:42Everyone knows that you are a mute.

00:36:44So why is it...

00:36:45That you can...

00:36:46All of a sudden...

00:36:47Speak now.

00:36:49Tell me...

00:36:49How come you suddenly changed?

00:36:56If you mess this up...

00:36:57That'll be considered as treason!

00:37:04It just...

00:37:05Happened suddenly.

00:37:09How peculiar.

00:37:11Must we stand here?

00:37:12My legs are aching.

00:37:14Oh!

00:37:15Did you hear that?

00:37:16Jude Sterling even lacks basic manners!

00:37:19Who would dare complain for royalty?

00:37:20The kid has no manners at all!

00:37:22That's because he was raised in the village!

00:37:23He's what have you thrown to the mountains!

00:37:25This is embarrassing!

00:37:27All right, that's enough.

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

00:37:36Everyone, let's head to the hall.

00:37:44Nobody else has recognized it yet.

00:37:46But I recognized your talent from the moment we met the other night.

00:37:51We owe you and your mother for what both of you endured.

00:37:54But now I need to rely on you.

00:37:57The prince has kept our family at a distance for years.

00:38:00We need to regain his attention.

00:38:02But I'm not a Sterling.

00:38:04Why do you think I would help you?

00:38:05Your last name's Sterling!

00:38:07If it's about the name...

00:38:09Then...

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

00:38:12Call me...

00:38:13Call me...

00:38:16Call me...

00:38:17Call me...

00:38:22Call me...

00:38:25Call me...

00:38:27I am begging you.

00:38:30In one condition.

00:38:32Just name it.

00:38:34Mom and I suffered out there.

00:38:35For so many years.

00:38:36I made it through. But she? She endured endless suffering until it killed her. I didn't come back

00:38:43to join your Sterling family. I'm here to demand justice for my mother. So listen carefully. If

00:38:51I win this contest, you, Benjamin Sterling, and your whole household, and even down to your family

00:38:59dog, we'll go to her grave, and you all better show up. You'll bow and confess how blind and

00:39:07foolish you all were. What the hell are you saying? Dad, are you telling me that you were

00:39:12convinced that he actually got talent? Shut up, both of you!

00:39:22All right. If you win, I'll do what you want me to do. I'll march every last Sterling

00:39:28to your mom's grave. We will all show our respect and admit that we were fools to throw you out.

00:39:36Dad! Grandpa!

00:39:47I might not belong to this world, but from the moment I came here, I saw you as my mother.

00:39:54Seven years ago, they threw you out of the family just because they came out mute.

00:39:58Stop being lazy and get this mess cleaned up!

00:40:00I'm sorry, sir. I made extra 50 bucks today. You wanted the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, right?

00:40:05I'm still a thousand short, but Mama will get it for you soon.

00:40:08Today, I'll crush the Sterling family, and I'll make sure that by tomorrow, their whole Sterling

00:40:13clan will kneel before your grave and give respect. They will all bow to you, and admit

00:40:20that they were wrong.

00:40:28I'm Jude Sterling. Mom is sick. She doesn't have much time left. I've never called you dad

00:40:33before. Dad, could you come see her?

00:40:47I'm so sorry. I... I won't be here anymore to see you sore. You're just ten years old. Just

00:40:57the thing you needed me most. I... I...

00:41:13Mom, forgive me. I'm not mute. I'm sorry. I just wish you could have heard my voice.

00:41:19They want me back. Therefore, I'm going. They threw you out just like a piece of trash.

00:41:25With no name and no rights, I'll promise that I'll make them pay.

00:41:31Every last Sterling will have to kneel in morn clothes in front of your grave.

00:41:36I'll force them until they scream at themselves that they were fools. That they've wronged you.

00:41:42This is madness!

00:41:44Grandpa, why the hell is he taking my spot?

00:41:46This was our last shot to prove ourselves, and you just handed it to him!

00:41:51Remember this day. Because of my presence, today will become the most glorious day ever recorded in your family's history.

00:42:00So watch carefully and see for yourself how I, Jude Sterling, will elevate your status so far beyond anything you

00:42:08could ever imagine in your life.

00:42:10Jude, what are you saying?

00:42:12If your entire family failed to keep the promises you gave me, then keep your eyes wide open and watch

00:42:17how I, Jude Sterling,

00:42:19will personally bury every one of you in the deepest, darkest pits of damnation.

00:42:24How dare you!

00:42:25Shut up!

00:42:25Jude Sterling, you got a death wish?

00:42:27Jude!

00:42:30Heaven or hell, now where destiny hangs in the balance, we'll see how a ten-year-old wealth can bring

00:42:36us glory in a day to elevate this family,

00:42:39or crush us into the darkest depths of damnation.

00:42:43Grandpa!

00:42:43Let's go, quickly!

00:42:45If destiny grants us a prodigy, I promise to kneel at her grave.

00:42:49Dad!

00:42:49Have you really lost your mind?

00:42:51Dad!

00:42:51You're the Sterling Patriarch!

00:42:53Since when do you bow down to your son's wife's grave?

00:42:55Grandpa!

00:42:56This is total nonsense!

00:42:58A total nonsense?

00:42:59If he's the prodigy, I don't care if I'm the Patriarch!

00:43:05Did you feel that?

00:43:06When he moved towards us, it's not a man, but a force of nature, and I felt a crushing, suffocating

00:43:13terror.

00:43:14When the heavens rumbled and stirred last night, I knew that it came from the Sterlings.

00:43:20But, I have never imagined.

00:43:22What do we do now?

00:43:23He's really here, but I am too scared to call him.

00:43:26Skye's here.

00:43:27But what if we are both mistaken?

00:43:29The kid is still too young to have that power.

00:43:32Attend your feast.

00:43:33And you?

00:43:33I'll be calling the Masters.

00:43:35I'll rally them here.

00:43:36I'm out of my depth.

00:43:37Let the Masters judge him, to see if he's the real immortal.

00:43:41And if he is?

00:43:42We'll bow to him, huh?

00:43:44Not everyone could have the chance of meeting him.

00:43:47If he weren't a kid, I'd call him Dad.

00:43:49You should too if I were you.

00:43:51What?

00:44:11Don Shire breed scholars.

00:44:13Half of Solaren's greatest literary legends were born and raised under our very skies.

00:44:18And as your Prince Salthor, I cherish each and every house's cultural legacy.

00:44:23And today, the eight great families stand firmly rooted in long and profound traditions of learning and intellect.

00:44:30Every four years, we assemble in the solemn tradition for the Battle of Wits.

00:44:35A gathering meant to inspire the younger generations to achieve the highest standards of cultural excellence.

00:44:41Here today, in my 80th birthday banquet.

00:44:45Love life and boundless fortune.

00:44:48To you, Prince Salthor.

00:44:49May your crossword through the ages.

00:44:51Love you, Prince Salthor.

00:44:54What an honor to have my birthday celebration coincide with the quadrennial battle of wits.

00:45:00And today, we're graced by three literary giants.

00:45:04First to be honored is Henry Clay of the Calligraphy Society.

00:45:07A master whose brush word breathes vitality into paper.

00:45:11Each stroke unfolding stories of the human soul.

00:45:14Portraying emotions and truths that span the ages.

00:45:18Next is Chester Barrett.

00:45:20At 20, he composed The Untrammeled.

00:45:23A work so profound and stirring that it is said to break hearts across the realms.

00:45:28Leaving readers breathless with its brilliance.

00:45:30You see him?

00:45:31He's my mentor.

00:45:32And Master Miles Turner.

00:45:33By the age of 29, he led Soloran's letters and offering council to emperors themselves.

00:45:40Distilling the wisdom of millennia into insights that shaped the realm.

00:45:43This gathering's prestige is really unmatched.

00:45:46We have half of Soloran's intellectual elite.

00:45:48They're all here.

00:45:48To be recognized here would make one's reputation.

00:45:51Today, I will be hosting the Battle of Wit with the three masters as our judges.

00:45:56In the previous contests we held, we offered modest prizes, just a billion or two.

00:46:01But today happens to be my birthday.

00:46:04Therefore, the rewards must match the occasion.

00:46:09Whoever wins first place in this intellectual duel, gets five billion in cash.

00:46:15Five billion.

00:46:16Five billion.

00:46:19Five billion.

00:46:20Five billion.

00:46:21This is unreal.

00:46:22You must win.

00:46:23The prize is five billion.

00:46:24That's more liquid wealth than the entire family ever has.

00:46:27But that bastard stole Soloran's place.

00:46:29Now he's flaunting his wealth.

00:46:32Truly a prodigy.

00:46:33He is a ten year old.

00:46:34The proper composure of an emperor.

00:46:37And that is not all.

00:46:38Should you emerge victorious today, I will personally petition the throne to crown your house with the title of...

00:46:48Dawnshire's Paramount Bloodline.

00:46:51Paramount Bloodline.

00:46:52Paramount Bloodline by Imperial mandate.

00:46:54Total dominance over the Dawnshire's nobility.

00:46:56No Dawnshire house has ever claimed this title.

00:46:59I wonder who will get it this time.

00:47:00If you lose, I'll break your legs myself.

00:47:03Philip, you must win this duel.

00:47:06Dad, no one outmatches me.

00:47:10Except...

00:47:11Maybe him.

00:47:15The Paramount Bloodline?

00:47:17Isn't this the very thing they were desperately craving?

00:47:20Yet this honor forces even the noble to drag themselves through hell for the name.

00:47:25With one calculated move, they'd rocket to divine status.

00:47:29Let's begin!

00:47:30Announce your numbers.

00:47:31Confirm if all are present.

00:47:33House Zeller.

00:47:33All present.

00:47:34House Reeves.

00:47:35All present.

00:47:36House Spencer.

00:47:37All present.

00:47:37House Zink.

00:47:38All present.

00:47:39House Stones.

00:47:40All present.

00:47:40House Sterling.

00:47:41All present.

00:47:42For the battle of wits, let the heir of every clan come forward.

00:47:46Keith Wilkins of House Wilkins.

00:47:48Philip Reeves of House Reeves.

00:47:49Owen Hayes of House Hayes.

00:47:51Ethan Spencer of House Spencer.

00:47:52Rowan Stone of House Stone.

00:47:53Morgan Zink of House Zink.

00:47:55Caleb Zeller of House Zeller.

00:47:59Jude Sterling of House Sterling.

00:48:03All right.

00:48:04Let the battle begin.

00:48:05And may each contender step forward.

00:48:07This battle tests three essential skills.

00:48:10First.

00:48:11Intellect.

00:48:12Second.

00:48:12Erudition.

00:48:13And third.

00:48:15Calligraphy.

00:48:18Grandpa.

00:48:19Just wait and see.

00:48:20Choosing Jude over me will disgrace us.

00:48:22Clearly, you underestimate your brother, but he outshines you tenfold.

00:48:26But that's absurd.

00:48:28Dad.

00:48:28I'm not buying any of it.

00:48:30Dad.

00:48:30Now is not the right time to make all the worst decisions.

00:48:34Be patient.

00:48:35Time will tell in the end.

00:48:37Round one intellect.

00:48:38Test your reflexes.

00:48:39Master the couplet duel.

00:48:41Survive the verse chain.

00:48:42What?

00:48:43Couplets?

00:48:43We've never had that before.

00:48:45I memorized everything except the couplets.

00:48:46There's no way I'll survive this.

00:48:48Who even studies couplets anymore?

00:48:49Even I can barely get through them.

00:48:51I can only imagine how panicked the others might feel right now.

00:48:56But not him?

00:48:59Round two.

00:49:00Erudition.

00:49:01It is to test your memory, as well as the depth of your knowledge.

00:49:04The masters will recite a classic, and the challenge is for you to name its source, its history, as well

00:49:11as the exact page where it is from.

00:49:13Huh?

00:49:14I honestly thought the noble exams would be nothing more than child's play.

00:49:18But these are harsh rules.

00:49:20How thrilling.

00:49:21Truly.

00:49:22Hold on.

00:49:22So you're saying, you expect us to know its history, and the exact page where they got it from?

00:49:28Huh?

00:49:30What test is this?

00:49:31This battle is absurd!

00:49:32This is madness!

00:49:33Naming the book is hard enough, even for most scholars.

00:49:36And now you're even demanding them to know the page numbers?

00:49:39Nobody can answer that!

00:49:41At least I'm spared.

00:49:42I won't survive in couplets.

00:49:44And this?

00:49:45I probably won't get one right.

00:49:47At least humiliation isn't mine today.

00:49:50Honored masters, doesn't this seem to be a bit too difficult?

00:49:58The battles in the previous years, they weren't so harsh.

00:50:02But for today, we've made it nearly impossible!

00:50:05Why would you do that?

00:50:09Because this year's contest includes none other than Jude Sterling!

00:50:13Him?

00:50:15Because of him, these impossible standards are tailored for him?

00:50:18What makes him so special?

00:50:19Did he actually do this?

00:50:20So this is supposed to be my stage?

00:50:23Is his mastery truly so outstanding, just like they say?

00:50:27Round three, calligraphy.

00:50:29This time it's ten distinct styles.

00:50:31Master more styles, execute them well, and you win!

00:50:35What is wrong with you?

00:50:36You need three lifetimes to learn all of that!

00:50:38You need ten years to master just one style, but ten styles?

00:50:41They don't want anyone to win!

00:50:43Prince Souththor never really meant to pay that five billion to anybody!

00:50:46No one can pass this battle!

00:50:48Glad I'm not the one humiliated, at least Jude volunteered to fall for all of us!

00:50:53That makes no sense!

00:50:54How so?

00:50:55Explain yourself then!

00:50:57You want ten scripts at a time?

00:50:58It's impossible!

00:50:59No mortal has that kind of skill!

00:51:13You mean him?

00:51:14There's no way!

00:51:15They're all just lying to us!

00:51:16Enough with the chatter, let the battle begin!

00:51:19Mr. Barret!

00:51:20Do the honor!

00:51:21Very well!

00:51:23Alright!

00:51:24Here's your first challenge!

00:51:26Today, we honor the birthday of Prince Souththor!

00:51:29So my first couplet, shall be for longevity!

00:51:32Oh no!

00:51:33Not just a couplet, but a birthday couplet!

00:51:36First line!

00:51:37Eagle brings blessings by emerald streams!

00:51:41Excellent!

00:51:42Well played, Master Barret!

00:51:45The outstanding young elites before us!

00:51:47Are they not the same eagles Mr. Barret spoke of?

00:51:53The second line should mirror the imagery and tone, and also be about longevity!

00:51:58This is way too difficult!

00:51:59These couplets are tricky!

00:52:01Since when do they have it?

00:52:02This is the starting level?

00:52:03Mr. Barret's merciless!

00:52:05He started at this difficulty!

00:52:08Why is everybody quiet?

00:52:10None of you knows?

00:52:11I know that it is difficult, but don't give up!

00:52:15Come on!

00:52:15Give it a try!

00:52:16You should at least give it a try!

00:52:18Even if you fail at it!

00:52:19That one is rather easy!

00:52:23Why the hesitation?

00:52:26He's so arrogant!

00:52:28We'll talk from someone who can't spell doom!

00:52:30Dude, Sterling, right?

00:52:31You didn't catch the full depth behind his couplet!

00:52:34Listen carefully!

00:52:35It's not just about birthday celebrations!

00:52:37It's all about us gift bearers!

00:52:39We're the eagles!

00:52:40And other than that, you also have to know that-

00:52:42Griffin grants fortune through ancient oaks!

00:52:45What?

00:52:46Griffin grants fortune?

00:52:47Exquisite!

00:52:48That's perfection!

00:52:49Mr. Barret called us eagles, but Jude Sterling made Prince Southor the Griffin!

00:52:55That is brilliant!

00:52:56That is the right answer!

00:52:59Indeed, you're correct!

00:53:00By emerald streams, two through ancient oaks, Eagle brings blessings to Griffin grants fortune!

00:53:08Excellent!

00:53:09He's gifted!

00:53:10He's a genius!

00:53:12Perfect couplet!

00:53:14He actually did it?

00:53:16Brilliant couplet!

00:53:17Wait!

00:53:17But he's only ten years old!

00:53:19He barely tried answering, yet he shames all of us in here!

00:53:22He actually answered it!

00:53:24Blind luck!

00:53:24He just got lucky!

00:53:25Jude Sterling, Mr. Clay didn't just acknowledge you!

00:53:28He showered you with praise!

00:53:30Such overflowing talent!

00:53:32We doubted that in the beginning!

00:53:34But now, I can finally see why!

00:53:37Then I'll give the first line!

00:53:39Do you think you can complete it, young man?

00:53:41Of course!

00:53:42Why wouldn't I?

00:53:45Our Prince Southor remains firmly in his prime as you see!

00:53:49His martial prowess is undiminished!

00:53:51It's only fair that he remains the focus of the challenge!

00:53:55Is that alright?

00:53:56Go ahead, Mr. Turner!

00:53:57Good!

00:53:58Jude Sterling, listen very carefully!

00:54:01Just wait a minute!

00:54:02Mr. Turner, since when is this his private test?

00:54:05Yeah!

00:54:05Why is he the only one getting a challenge?

00:54:07He was able to answer one!

00:54:09That proves nothing!

00:54:09Huh!

00:54:10But none of you will be able to answer it!

00:54:13Impossible!

00:54:14So you're implying that we're not capable, but he somehow is?

00:54:17Exactly!

00:54:18Mr. Turner, do you really think the seven of us will lose to this child?

00:54:22That's right!

00:54:23Then listen closely!

00:54:24Hold it!

00:54:25And the first line is...

00:54:28Twice harvest moon's turn, as silver crescents cast gentle shimmering glow!

00:54:36This is even more difficult!

00:54:38It sounds simple, but it's deeper!

00:54:40More difficult!

00:54:41It's a numerical couplet!

00:54:42You must match both the theme, as well as the math!

00:54:45What's harvest moon?

00:54:46And why does it turn twice?

00:54:48How about that?

00:54:49You've stumbled to answer it, right?

00:54:51Mr. Turner, he may have gotten us this time, but that doesn't mean that he won this battle!

00:54:56Yeah, that's true!

00:54:57This one's trickier than the last!

00:54:59I don't like cutting in, but I've already given you ten full breaths to think!

00:55:04If you still can't figure out the answer, I will take my chance, for I...

00:55:09Already know what it is!

00:55:11You know the answer?

00:55:11Already?

00:55:14Then place go ahead!

00:55:16A silver crescent...

00:55:17Cast gentle shimmering glow...

00:55:20Twice harvest moon's turn...

00:55:26My answer is...

00:55:28With Gilded Autumn's show, double the stage's prime!

00:55:33Very well!

00:55:34That's the one!

00:55:35Seriously!

00:55:36There's no way!

00:55:37Wait!

00:55:37That's two in a row!

00:55:38Another lucky guess?

00:55:40How's that possible?

00:55:41Oh well...

00:55:42Ugh!

00:55:43Very good!

00:55:44That's a perfect match!

00:55:46Harvest moons to sage's prime, crescents glow to Autumn's show...

00:55:50That's flawless!

00:55:52A perfect match!

00:55:59My turn!

00:56:00Listen, Jude...

00:56:01Ever since I left, I've been going on this problem, and it won't give me peace!

00:56:06This one kept me up!

00:56:08It is surely...

00:56:09A genuine...

00:56:10Mind-melter!

00:56:12Do you think...

00:56:14You can answer it this time?

00:56:17Very well!

00:56:18Let me hear it!

00:56:23Very well!

00:56:24Let me hear it!

00:56:30It's all about the digits here, kid, so better keep those numbers tight!

00:56:34Mr. Clay, let me hear it!

00:56:39First line!

00:56:41A hundred suns, a temple up!

00:56:43Thousands of tiles, hundreds of bricks!

00:56:48How about it?

00:56:50What do you think of this one?

00:56:52I'll give you...

00:56:53Five minutes to think about it!

00:56:55You have to...

00:56:56Four bridges passed!

00:56:57Three souls over!

00:56:58One boat, two oars!

00:57:00Seriously?

00:57:01That was fast!

00:57:01Did he even think about it?

00:57:02Lightning fast!

00:57:03Quicker then!

00:57:04A hiccup!

00:57:04He's a freak!

00:57:05A total freak!

00:57:07Wow...

00:57:07I'm still trying to make sense of the first line, and he's already finished answering?

00:57:12See it now?

00:57:13The sterling bloodline is legendary!

00:57:16You're even more brilliant than I ever imagined!

00:57:19Here goes!

00:57:20Three long, two short, one palm upholds the heavens!

00:57:24Jude, we're still dealing with numbers here, but the trick is you have to read the pattern!

00:57:28My answer is...

00:57:29Already?

00:57:30He's got it again!

00:57:33But the trick is you have to read the pattern!

00:57:36My answer is...

00:57:37Six days shape creation, four horsemen, eight beatitudes!

00:57:40You...

00:57:40He's got it again!

00:57:42Now answer this one!

00:57:43Where water breeds worms, it thickens!

00:57:46Where water breeds fish, it feeds!

00:57:49Waters multiplied, creek, lake, and endless sea!

00:57:52Time to level up the questions now!

00:57:55You better prepare for linguistic acrobatics!

00:57:58Listen closely!

00:57:59Where root meets earth, it anchors!

00:58:02Where tip meets sky, it reaches!

00:58:03Woods compounded!

00:58:04Pine, oak, a towering forest!

00:58:06But...

00:58:07What?

00:58:07Even a sage would struggle with that!

00:58:10You're a dictionary demon!

00:58:12That's witchcraft!

00:58:13Alright, I'll be giving my last one!

00:58:16It's the ultimate one!

00:58:17If you could answer it, you will earn my respect!

00:58:20You mean...

00:58:21That one?

00:58:22Mr. Barret, I know that one!

00:58:24But asking that would be too much!

00:58:27Nobody's ever solved that riddle for ages!

00:58:29Wait, is he actually referring to that line?

00:58:32The one that everyone swears is unsolvable without a line to match!

00:58:36Ah, this means that their pride's been pricked!

00:58:39Now they'll hit him with the impossible one to answer!

00:58:42It's true!

00:58:43It's true!

00:58:44Chewed answer quickly!

00:58:45In the blink of an eye, he's embarrassing all those older scholars!

00:58:50Unless they give a hard one, I'm afraid they'll carry that shame forever!

00:58:54Father, what would be the question?

00:58:56I have no idea!

00:58:58But if they all call it unsolvable?

00:59:00Then...

00:59:01It's no child's riddle!

00:59:04I know that couplet!

00:59:06If you can crack it, I promise to call you my master!

00:59:09I'm not interested to become your master!

00:59:12The arrogance in this kid!

00:59:13How insolent!

00:59:14How dare you!

00:59:15Can we all begin now?

00:59:16Let's say, I solve your unsolvable couplet today.

00:59:19Does that seal my victory in this battle of wit?

00:59:22You've already won this battle!

00:59:24Whether you can solve this line or not, the brilliance of your intellect has proven no equal in this world!

00:59:30I have no objections!

00:59:31You've definitely earned the title fair and square!

00:59:35Very well!

00:59:36You may choose not to answer this one, as this problem remains unsolved for ages!

00:59:43Since you put it that way, now I'm curious.

00:59:45What is this unsolvable riddle of yours?

00:59:50Listen well.

00:59:52Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake, lichen.

00:59:54What does it mean?

00:59:56Lotus, lilac, and lichen?

00:59:58Aren't all those names... names of plants?

01:00:01Not so hard, right?

01:00:04Hmm...

01:00:04Interesting.

01:00:05I'll need a moment.

01:00:06I got it!

01:00:07I know the answer!

01:00:09What?

01:00:10What?

01:00:10You?

01:00:13You?

01:00:14Keith!

01:00:14Be quiet!

01:00:15This challenge is beyond you!

01:00:17Dad!

01:00:18Must you question me?

01:00:19This is child's play!

01:00:20Child's play?

01:00:21The answer is thorny!

01:00:22Though in my eyes, hardly worth a second glance!

01:00:25You owned the stage long enough, yet you're being so quiet now!

01:00:28Finally, it's now my turn to shine and earn the crown!

01:00:31Alright!

01:00:32Let's hear it then!

01:00:33Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake, lichen.

01:00:36It captures a vision of life!

01:00:38They expand their reach from water to shore!

01:00:40So here's my answer!

01:00:42Green hills, run a glance, glowing springs!

01:00:48Mr. Wilkins, that doesn't pair!

01:00:50Just what the hell is that?

01:00:51Yeah!

01:00:51How is it not fitting?

01:00:52Mr. Reeves, don't you know versus?

01:00:54Shut it!

01:00:55Guards!

01:00:56Remove this simpleton out of here!

01:01:00Throw him out!

01:01:00Mr. Barrett!

01:01:01Green hills to lotus leaf!

01:01:03The hills on their side is springs!

01:01:04My logic stands!

01:01:06The artistry of that first line escapes you entirely!

01:01:09And yet you dare to answer it?

01:01:11Throw him out!

01:01:12What do all of you here know?

01:01:13My imagery fits, my rhythm true, and it captures the cliff's menace!

01:01:18Just stop it, Wilkins!

01:01:19Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake, lichen.

01:01:21Think about these words carefully!

01:01:23They're all starting with letter L!

01:01:26Yeah!

01:01:27This is no mere imagery only!

01:01:29What we have here is alliteration!

01:01:32A flawless line!

01:01:33An impossible standard!

01:01:35All starts with L!

01:01:36Indeed!

01:01:37All L initials!

01:01:38Lotus starts with L!

01:01:40From lotus to lilac, and even lichen!

01:01:43They all start with the letter L!

01:01:45All crowned with L!

01:01:46You fool!

01:01:47You're blind to its design!

01:01:49And yet you strut like you want!

01:01:51You made things difficult!

01:01:52Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake lichen!

01:01:54All starts with L!

01:01:55The art is in the sound!

01:01:57Exactly!

01:01:58Oh god!

01:01:59How did I miss that?

01:02:00Guards!

01:02:01Remove this gesture from this hall now!

01:02:05I'm sorry!

01:02:06I'm begging you!

01:02:07I am ready to answer!

01:02:08Huh?

01:02:09Not again?

01:02:10Is he bluffing like him too?

01:02:12The first line was hard, but he solved it?

01:02:14Let go of me!

01:02:15I'll leave this place, but let me hear his answer first!

01:02:19My answer is...

01:02:21Rose root, reed brush, red rose hip!

01:02:24He got it!

01:02:25A true marvel!

01:02:26The unsolvable line!

01:02:27He solved it!

01:02:29A genius!

01:02:30A true genius!

01:02:31This can't be!

01:02:32This is sorcery!

01:02:33He actually cracked!

01:02:34I yield utterly!

01:02:35I'd hardly call this line difficult!

01:02:37I only pause because I don't want to rush it!

01:02:39Not because I don't know the answer!

01:02:41Then, what was on your mind?

01:02:42What's on my mind?

01:02:43To reduce your legendary test to rubble!

01:02:46Until there's nothing left for you to boast about!

01:02:49To rubble?

01:02:50Explain yourself!

01:02:50I crafted five answers!

01:02:52What?

01:02:52Five?

01:02:53This is not a timeless riddle!

01:02:55From now on, never use this for tests again!

01:02:58You thought of five answers?

01:02:59You're just wildly!

01:03:00How dare you!

01:03:02What five?

01:03:04Lotus Leaf, Lilac Lilt, Lake Lichen.

01:03:07The first answer that I gave you is Roastroot, Reed Rush, Red Rosehip.

01:03:13As for the second answer, Moss Mound, Maple Mist, Misty Meadow.

01:03:18That fits!

01:03:19He's right!

01:03:21And for the third answer, Willowwood, Whitewood, Wild Wheat.

01:03:27The fourth answer will be, Bay Beach, Broadbanks, Briny Billows.

01:03:31There's no way!

01:03:33And lastly, the fifth...

01:03:35Brook Bend, Bayou Branch, Blue Brine.

01:03:39Ooh!

01:03:39That's unbelievable!

01:03:41Five answers!

01:03:42I can't believe it!

01:03:43What about it?

01:03:45Please take me!

01:03:46I want to learn from you!

01:03:49You wanna learn from me?

01:03:50I've never witnessed such a brilliant mind like yours!

01:03:53You outshine the ancients!

01:03:54That's crazy!

01:03:55My god!

01:03:56Even Mr. Barrett's bowing to him!

01:03:59You really wanna learn from me?

01:04:02Right now, you still don't qualify.

01:04:07What did you say?

01:04:07That's way too cocky!

01:04:08How dare you!

01:04:09Mr. Barrett even bowed to him!

01:04:11And he turned him down!

01:04:12Who does it think he is?

01:04:13Mr. Barrett doesn't qualify?

01:04:15How dare you!

01:04:15Who taught you that?

01:04:17Mr. Barrett kneeling to him?

01:04:18This world has gone completely mad!

01:04:20He actually refused him!

01:04:22Even if he said no, he didn't have to say he doesn't qualify!

01:04:25Jude!

01:04:26Quit running your mouth!

01:04:27Unless Mr. Jensen and I are blind, we're looking at a true legend!

01:04:31If that's the case, then he really doesn't measure up!

01:04:34Maybe even I fall short of the standard as well!

01:04:38Can we finally move on to the next trial?

01:04:41Chester!

01:04:41Stand up!

01:04:42You simply don't have the qualities that he requires!

01:04:47What?

01:04:47Stand up!

01:04:48The Lunamount delegation will explain everything!

01:04:52Lunamount?

01:04:53So you mean, the Solorain's protectors, the Lunamounts?

01:04:56According to legends!

01:04:57Even the Emperor must train with them!

01:04:59They work side by side with each other!

01:05:02They're really dispatching the envoys?

01:05:05I didn't know that the Prince has this connection that even the Lunamounts attend his birthday!

01:05:11No way!

01:05:13This can't be real!

01:05:14Grandpa, what exactly is the Lunamount?

01:05:16They're what they call the real deities!

01:05:19They wield so much power that even the royalty are forced to kneel!

01:05:25They are mystics?

01:05:27They actually exist?

01:05:28They are in this world?

01:05:29Goodness me!

01:05:30Open your eyes!

01:05:32There's more than just your little pond, you know?

01:05:34If Lunamount ever considered taking me in, who cares about inheritance?

01:05:38Arch-Sage would mean nothing!

01:05:40All mortal achievements are dust before them!

01:05:42Every name fades to nothing in their shadow!

01:05:45Sean, the Lunamount rarely appears.

01:05:49This is it!

01:05:50This is your golden chance!

01:05:51Dad!

01:05:52Break your connections to reach them!

01:05:53Their simple approval could make you filthy rich!

01:05:55Even if you become their floor scrubber!

01:05:58A servant?

01:05:59Any servant of theirs gets to have equal treatment from the rich and even from the nobility!

01:06:05What?!

01:06:09What?!

01:06:10Lunamount?

01:06:10From how they are acting?

01:06:12They must be a mystic sect in this world!

01:06:15Huh!

01:06:16How intriguing!

01:06:28Hello Hank!

01:06:29Andy!

01:06:29If he came all the way here just for nothing...

01:06:31I'll skin you alive!

01:06:33Huh!

01:06:33I wouldn't dare lie to the Lunamounts!

01:06:34Prince Southor and I, we both felt it!

01:06:37That suffocating pressure!

01:06:39Radiating from him!

01:06:39The night before!

01:06:41We saw him practicing!

01:06:42Devouring every spiritual energy in the city!

01:06:45Haha!

01:06:46The entire city!

01:06:47Are you out of your mind?

01:06:48That kind of power requires at least trinity convergence!

01:06:51How could such a person exist?

01:06:53That's why I asked you to come here!

01:06:56To verify it!

01:07:01Our master is coming with after hearing this!

01:07:04Start preparing!

01:07:05He'll arrive shortly!

01:07:07Yes!

01:07:11Fascinating!

01:07:12Draining the entire city's energy!

01:07:15Even if it's fake, he's still a rogue mystic, isn't he?

01:07:19Do you agree with me, Hank?

01:07:20Master, Andy is a boastful man!

01:07:22Well, but if he really is a mystic like he says, and only ten years old,

01:07:28perhaps I will mentor him myself and grant him this chance!

01:07:33What?

01:07:34Master?

01:07:35You'd actually taken a disciple?

01:07:37You're on the verge of trinity convergence already!

01:07:40Trinity convergence?

01:07:43The world believes that I'm close to achieving it!

01:07:46Yet it is a realm beyond the ordinary mortals!

01:07:50Only myths talk about it!

01:07:52But other than those myths, nobody else mentions it!

01:07:56Pentaforce Dominion?

01:07:58A realm of extraordinary ability!

01:08:00But for me, I won't!

01:08:02I'll never touch it!

01:08:05Judas solved a couplet unsolved for ages!

01:08:09I'd say, there is no need to continue to the second trial!

01:08:14Indeed you're right!

01:08:16Though the first test measured intellect,

01:08:18he's shown us extraordinary talents that makes him deserving of being the first place even in the second trial as

01:08:27well!

01:08:27Hmm, then further trials are simply pointless!

01:08:31I totally agree with you!

01:08:32Hmph!

01:08:34Bring the ink and brush!

01:08:40How shall we conduct this, honorable judges?

01:08:44Please decide!

01:08:45If Mr. Clay insists that he knows all the ten artistic styles of calligraphy, let's see!

01:08:51Let him prove to us that he can actually write!

01:08:54Very well!

01:08:55Then let him demonstrate these ten styles!

01:08:57Ten?

01:08:58Ten?

01:08:59Really?

01:08:59That's impossible!

01:09:01Nobody does that!

01:09:02Yeah!

01:09:03Chester, you're suggesting...

01:09:06Write the immortal creed!

01:09:08For heaven establish virtue!

01:09:11For mortals secure purposes!

01:09:13For ancestors revive wisdom!

01:09:15For eternity forges peace!

01:09:16You have to write the immortal creed ten times!

01:09:20And each of the times should be written in a different style!

01:09:24This is clearly torture!

01:09:25This feels targeted at Jude!

01:09:27Then why are they involving us?

01:09:28You're making fun of us!

01:09:29I only know one style!

01:09:31I know the gothic one!

01:09:32Ten styles is humanly impossible!

01:09:34Silence!

01:09:36Jude, do you accept?

01:09:41Why wouldn't I?

01:09:42What?

01:09:42Did he really master ten?

01:09:44Well, I can't do it!

01:09:45I'm out!

01:09:46However, I refuse to believe he can do it!

01:09:49Nor do I!

01:09:50I also yield!

01:09:51So, all of you behind him!

01:09:53Master, I yield already!

01:09:55I don't know ten!

01:09:56Let alone write them!

01:09:58Same!

01:09:58Count me out!

01:09:59The trial is meaningless anyway!

01:10:01It's tailored solely for him!

01:10:03This was never a scholarly contest!

01:10:05The tests they gave us were beyond any of us!

01:10:07We're just going to do it!

01:10:07Just foil for him!

01:10:08Yes!

01:10:09Exactly!

01:10:10This trial is completely meaningless!

01:10:13And now, you want us to write the sacred text in ten different styles?

01:10:16No human being can possibly know those ten styles and how to write all of them!

01:10:23Unless...

01:10:26Such exquisite brushstroke!

01:10:30His grip!

01:10:31The ink flow!

01:10:32Impossibly steady!

01:10:33He moves the brush like he has mastered it for decades!

01:10:37That is just impeccable!

01:10:40Told you so!

01:10:40You didn't believe!

01:10:41He's disgustingly skilled!

01:10:43Now, are you convinced yet?

01:10:45He writes like he is the master of the brush!

01:10:51Careful!

01:10:59The cursive script!

01:11:01He's using the hardest tile!

01:11:02He even does the cursive!

01:11:03So messy!

01:11:05I can't read it like this!

01:11:06Philistine!

01:11:07This isn't messy!

01:11:08Can't you feel the flow of his writing?

01:11:10Indeed!

01:11:10Can you see how each character's pulse?

01:11:12As if the ink has a soul!

01:11:14Good!

01:11:15Such an excellent mastery!

01:11:24Be careful holding it!

01:11:25The ink's still wet!

01:11:28The italic script!

01:11:31The italic script!

01:11:33I told you!

01:11:34He knew that script!

01:11:35None of you believe me!

01:11:36This is the italic script!

01:11:38Each character breathes!

01:11:45The italic script!

01:11:46The italic script!

01:11:46Is he for real?

01:11:47Indeed!

01:11:48How does he know all of this?

01:11:51Prodigy.

01:11:53Absolute prodigy.

01:11:55Your mom once told me

01:11:57That even if they called you mute

01:11:58She always saw the genius in you

01:12:00At an early age

01:12:02I, I believe that too

01:12:04But I lack the courage to speak up

01:12:14Clerical script?

01:12:16Is this clerical script?

01:12:17It's authentic clerical script

01:12:18Unbelievable, he actually knows it

01:12:21So what if he knows it?

01:12:23Talon is nothing without backing

01:12:25The Lunamounts are coming

01:12:26If I can win the Lunamounts' favor

01:12:28Then I can still crush you into dirt, Jude

01:12:31A mute's a mute

01:12:33You'll forever be a broken child to me

01:12:35Even with all your words

01:12:37You still look utterly helpless to me

01:12:43Master! Disciple Hank!

01:12:46What script is this?

01:12:47Have you seen this?

01:12:48What's this?

01:12:49It's artistic

01:12:50But what it is, I don't know

01:12:51Did he invent that?

01:12:52Wait, it's...

01:12:54Carolingian minuscule

01:12:55What's that?

01:12:58This is Carolingian minuscule

01:13:01In Charlemagne's era

01:13:03Thin yet full-bodied

01:13:04He didn't just study it

01:13:05He actually mastered it

01:13:07You really are full of surprises

01:13:22Enough with the writing

01:13:23Enough with the writing

01:13:25What?

01:13:27After Unchul's script and Carolingian minuscule

01:13:29I knew it

01:13:30No one in this world

01:13:32Can be a rival to you

01:13:40There is no need

01:13:41To prove yourself to these plebeians

01:13:45You're the champion

01:13:47It's over just like that, champion?

01:13:50What?

01:13:51I have no arguments

01:13:53You've earned this title

01:13:55The champion is Jude Sterling

01:13:59Of House Sterling

01:14:04Wow, he actually won it

01:14:06Our champion

01:14:07Our family hasn't produced such genius in many decades

01:14:12It's a title well earned

01:14:15I never bow

01:14:16Yet today, I yield to you completely

01:14:19Congratulations

01:14:20I fully yield to you, Jude

01:14:23House Sterling

01:14:29Tell me

01:14:30Does this level of glory suffice for you?

01:14:34Is this high enough?

01:14:35Or must I raise you even higher

01:14:38Pushing you behind every mortal limit?

01:14:40Something's off

01:14:41What's happening to them?

01:14:48Ah, this way please

01:14:50Andy, this had better not be false intel

01:14:53Of course

01:14:54I'd never lie

01:14:55At worst, he's a young genius

01:14:57Geniuses are a dime a dozen

01:14:58To us unworldly mystics

01:15:00They are insects beneath our feet

01:15:03Of course

01:15:03Benjamin Sterling

01:15:05Answer me now

01:15:06Was your house of Sterling elevated high enough today?

01:15:10Is this enough for you?

01:15:13He called his grandfather's name?

01:15:15This isn't right

01:15:16What happened?

01:15:18Jude, stop

01:15:19Shut up

01:15:21Jude Sterling

01:15:22Don't get cocky just because you won

01:15:24The award

01:15:25It belonged to our Sean

01:15:27I am asking you

01:15:29Was it enough?

01:15:30If you're satisfied

01:15:31I fulfilled my promise to you

01:15:33Now it's your family's turn

01:15:35Time to honor your deal

01:15:41Kneel at my mother's grave

01:15:43And mourning robes

01:15:44Admit you were wrong

01:15:45Jude Sterling

01:15:47I don't recall making such promises to anyone

01:15:55Though I agreed with your condition

01:15:57Your mom was still just a woman

01:15:59Unworthy of my dignity

01:16:01I am the patriarch

01:16:02The face of the family

01:16:04And my forehead has never touched dirt

01:16:06So you intend to deny the oath you made?

01:16:09Jude

01:16:09Be reasonable

01:16:11We belong to a noble family

01:16:14Face matters more than promises

01:16:16Remember that

01:16:17So just accept the reward

01:16:19And all our wealth will be transferred to you

01:16:23Dad!

01:16:23If you won't give in

01:16:26Then forget it

01:16:30Do you think I care about wealth?

01:16:32You must be kidding me

01:16:33I don't care about your treasures

01:16:35Those are nothing but dust to me

01:16:37I've surpassed your petty realm entirely

01:16:42What a very noble speech

01:16:44I'm really touched

01:16:57I, Southor

01:16:59Pay my respects to the Master of Lunamount

01:17:01And Head Disciple

01:17:09I, Southor

01:17:10Pay respects to the Master of Lunamount

01:17:13And Head Disciple

01:17:16What?

01:17:17Master of Lunamount

01:17:18Lunamount Envoys

01:17:20Did it just show up here?

01:17:21The Master even came in person

01:17:22That's their Master

01:17:26The Master's here

01:17:27Why aren't you kneeling?

01:17:29Do you all have a death wish?

01:17:31Even the Prince is kneeling to them

01:17:33Get down now

01:17:34All hail Master of Lunamount

01:17:39Just a normal young boy

01:17:42Is this guy what they call a mystic?

01:17:44Barely a divine nexus tier

01:17:46I don't feel any power coming from this boy

01:17:48Either he's way stronger than me

01:17:51I can't see through him

01:17:53Or he's just a nobody

01:17:55You!

01:17:57On your knees now!

01:18:05Who do you think you are?

01:18:07He's got a death wish

01:18:08What a waste

01:18:09Top of the world and dead the next

01:18:10Kneel now

01:18:11How dare you disrespect Lunamount?

01:18:14He's gonna get us killed this time

01:18:15Do you even hear yourself, young man?

01:18:18I said

01:18:19Who do you think you are?

01:18:23I'm the Head Disciple of Lunamount

01:18:26My name is Hank Kaltavian

01:18:28Lunamount?

01:18:29Are they important?

01:18:31He's got a death wish

01:18:33Lunamount is Solarade's protector

01:18:35Every top cultivator in the Empire gathers there

01:18:38We have 300 disciples

01:18:40On your knees

01:18:41Plead for the sake of your 300 disciples

01:18:44Were it not for my mercy

01:18:45You won't be here breathing

01:18:48Do you even know what you're talking about?

01:18:51He just threatened to exterminate them

01:18:53Is he out of his mind?

01:18:57Is he really a mystic?

01:18:59If he is

01:19:00How strong must he be to talk like that?

01:19:03If not

01:19:04Is he just some reckless kid running his mouth?

01:19:06He doesn't even understand the weight of the words he's using

01:19:10And now what?

01:19:11Am I about to get dragged into this mess too?

01:19:14Dude!

01:19:16Get on your knees

01:19:17And beg for forgiveness

01:19:18Kneel down

01:19:28He's an outcast from our family

01:19:30Whatever he said has nothing to do with us

01:19:32Nothing at all

01:19:33Please have mercy

01:19:34Please punish him

01:19:35Not us

01:19:35He's not a sterling

01:19:36He doesn't speak for us

01:19:38We already cast him out a long time ago

01:19:40Please don't drag us into this

01:19:41I'm begging you

01:19:43Am I still a sterling?

01:19:47Am I still a sterling?

01:19:48No!

01:19:49You never were!

01:19:50You're just a cast off

01:19:51So am I abandoned?

01:19:53Uh

01:19:54Master

01:19:55He's not a sterling

01:19:56Yeah

01:19:56We already disowned him

01:19:58We exiled him

01:19:59It's true

01:20:00Seven years ago

01:20:01Master from Lunamount

01:20:02He's the only crazy one in here

01:20:04We have nothing to do with this

01:20:06We're innocent

01:20:07Kill only the guilty

01:20:08Didn't I just make myself clear?

01:20:10I'm not a sterling

01:20:12I am an Auron

01:20:13Yet you insist that I'm a sterling

01:20:15That your blood's in my veins

01:20:17That it is my duty

01:20:18To secure victory for you

01:20:20And elevate you to glory

01:20:21Stop telling lies

01:20:23When did I say that to you?

01:20:25You're never a sterling

01:20:26You don't have our noble blood

01:20:27That name was never yours

01:20:30Yeah

01:20:30Even you call yourself an Auron

01:20:33You're never a sterling

01:20:35Jude

01:20:36Dad

01:20:36What are you talking about?

01:20:39Dad

01:20:40What are you talking about?

01:20:42Shut up

01:20:44Love

01:20:44I just felt the baby move

01:20:55I'm done with this

01:20:56All your lives

01:20:57You've drowned in vanity and greed

01:20:59Too ashamed to even acknowledge your own blood

01:21:02Seven years ago

01:21:04When Jude was only three years old

01:21:06All of you

01:21:07You threw him out of the house

01:21:08You said

01:21:10We only breed prodigies

01:21:12That my mute child

01:21:13Would shame us all

01:21:15You're lying

01:21:16Stop with the lies

01:21:17He's only three years old

01:21:18And you simply threw him out

01:21:20You even exiled him

01:21:22With my wife

01:21:23When I refused

01:21:23You called me disloyal

01:21:25But I said no

01:21:26Then you called me

01:21:28The ungrateful son

01:21:29Clueless about the big picture

01:21:31Well screw that

01:21:32You don't know

01:21:33What I've been through

01:21:34None of you

01:21:35My poor wife

01:21:37She raised him alone

01:21:38I wasn't even there

01:21:40And when she died

01:21:41I wasn't there for them either

01:21:43I've been living with guilt

01:21:45And it eats me up every day

01:21:46He only wanted to bring Jude home

01:21:48Because the prince expects the perfect family

01:21:52But I know

01:21:53That you're only using him

01:21:56You're only using him

01:21:58But me

01:21:59I'll take it

01:22:00You know why

01:22:03I get to see my son again

01:22:09Now I can proudly say

01:22:10That he is my son again

01:22:12All you wanted

01:22:14Was to parade his skills around

01:22:17To drill into him

01:22:18You're a sterling

01:22:19Make us proud

01:22:20And then what did you do?

01:22:22Lunamount shows up

01:22:23Jude both bowed to them

01:22:25And suddenly he's no longer one of us?

01:22:28So what you said?

01:22:29Is he family or not?

01:22:31He's got no peace

01:22:34So which is it?

01:22:35Is he family or not?

01:22:37He's got no peace

01:22:39First you cast him out

01:22:41Then sweet-talked him

01:22:42Into coming back home

01:22:44Only to cut him loose again?

01:22:46That's just cruel and cold

01:22:48I feel sorry for you, kid

01:22:50After everything that's happened

01:22:52A ten-year-old still managed to outshine the legends?

01:22:56Live or die today, kid

01:22:57You're already my hero, Jude Sterling

01:23:01He's wrong

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

01:23:03Not since I kicked him out

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

01:23:06And seven years ago

01:23:07Fine

01:23:08Deny him

01:23:11But today

01:23:12I'm finally stepping up

01:23:14I'm Jude's father

01:23:16My name

01:23:17Is Anthony Sterling

01:23:23I understand it now

01:23:25I get it

01:23:26Hey, kid

01:23:27I feel sorry for you

01:23:29Their noble house is trash

01:23:31But to disrespect us?

01:23:33And mouthing off about us?

01:23:35Sympathy won't stop your death

01:23:36Ten years old or not?

01:23:38Today

01:23:40You're going to meet your end

01:23:41Andy!

01:23:44Yes, brother

01:23:45Go

01:23:45Make it quick for the boy

01:23:47Yes

01:23:50Sorry, kid

01:23:51You're just ten years old

01:23:52And really talented

01:23:53However

01:23:54Don't blame me for what comes next

01:23:56After today

01:23:58You'll be Dawnshire's greatest prodigy

01:24:00With your name resounding throughout the entire empire

01:24:02Just name your price

01:24:04You

01:24:05Move it

01:24:07Jude

01:24:10Move behind me

01:24:11Don't play the hero

01:24:14You did pretty good

01:24:15I'll spare you

01:24:16I'll only be using this finger

01:24:19Now allow me to show you

01:24:20How it ends you

01:24:32Shadow thorn strike

01:24:37With just one finger

01:24:38This can't be real

01:24:40How is this possible?

01:24:41This can't be real

01:24:42He's a mystic

01:24:43By the grace of his holy light

01:24:45I didn't kill him

01:24:46Don't you worry

01:24:48I simply guided him

01:24:50Towards paradise

01:24:56He has the petal trail

01:24:59This is the legendary petal trail

01:25:05Trinity Convergence

01:25:08He's a mystic

01:25:47To witness an immortal mastering

01:26:09That's the very pinnacle

01:26:10That I'm dreaming of

01:26:12If I could even get a glimpse

01:26:14Of that realm

01:26:15I promise

01:26:16That I will serve

01:26:17Only you

01:26:18Forever

01:26:20I'm just a baron

01:26:21Take me as your disciple

01:26:23You

01:26:23Want to learn from me?

01:26:25You?

01:26:26No way

01:26:30I'm not worthy enough

01:26:32I'm your uncle Jude

01:26:34I'm your aunt

01:26:35I'm your grandfather

01:26:36I was wrong

01:26:37Come home with us

01:26:39What are you waiting for?

01:26:41Father

01:26:42Let's go

01:26:45What did you say?

01:26:46Father

01:26:46Let's go

01:27:10Jude

01:27:12Jude

01:27:16If I failed you

01:27:20I hope you can still forgive me

01:27:26Jude

01:27:26It's me, your cousin

01:27:28How long I work for you

01:27:29We share the same blood, you know

01:27:32Like it or not

01:27:33You're still a sterling

01:27:36Cousin

01:27:37Wait for me

01:27:37I'll go with you

01:27:53Where is it?

01:27:54Where's my mom's grave?

01:28:00Where is it?

01:28:01Where's my mom's grave?

01:28:03Shut it!

01:28:04She was just your aunt

01:28:05I'm your real mother

01:28:07She raised me since childhood

01:28:09As if I was her own

01:28:10Besides in my heart

01:28:11She's always been my mom

01:28:13If only I could do something

01:28:14I would let grandpa kick her out

01:28:16You dragged me into this

01:28:18Stop speaking nonsense

01:28:19Your father orchestrated it

01:28:20Because of the inheritance

01:28:21I was only fooled by him

01:28:23Stop lying, dad

01:28:23Lori

01:28:24Was the daughter-in-law

01:28:25I always wanted

01:28:26When she passed

01:28:27I failed to mourn for her

01:28:29That shame of heart

01:28:30He called my mom

01:28:31Where in the world

01:28:32Can we find her tomb?

01:28:34Will we ever find it?

01:28:35Our dear patriarch Jude

01:28:36Won't even tell us where it is

01:28:38We even came here to bow

01:28:40But he says

01:28:41We're all unworthy

01:28:42Unworthy or not

01:28:43We must still bow

01:28:44In front of her grave

01:28:46Three days with no leads

01:28:48We must find her grave

01:28:50I wrote 10,000 words of apology

01:28:52I just want to say

01:28:53In front of her grave

01:28:54That we were wrong

01:28:56That we were truly blind

01:29:09What if we never find it?

01:29:10What if we fail to apologize?

01:29:12Jude will never ever forgive me then

01:29:14You've all ruined my life

01:29:16Can't even find a simple grave

01:29:18What are you for?

01:29:19My future is rotting because of you

01:29:23Mom

01:29:24Where can we find you?

01:29:26We were blind

01:29:27We were arrogant fools

01:29:29Toward you, Lori

01:29:30We were blind

01:29:31We were arrogant fools
