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 produces geniuses, but you? You had a mute for a son. He's turning us into a complete

00:00:31laughingstock in Solar Raid.

00:00:33When my mom died last year, you didn't even flinch. So because of that, I'm done with this family, and

00:00:39done with my dad.

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

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

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

00:00:54heir apparent on paper.

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

00:01:02all of this.

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:25I've slaughtered you. Vermin's like you, in another life.

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

00:01:39expecting you.

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

00:01:44If only they knew I'm not one of them. My soul's from another realm. I was Friar Auron. The rivers

00:01:51ran red where I walked. That's why they called me...

00:01:54Hollow Friar.

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

00:02:06you!

00:02:06I walk the path of mercy, a journey that leads towards the Gate of Enlightenment. Yet you fixate only on

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

00:02:16Come.

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. Only by

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

00:02:42You'll never comprehend this truth. By the grace of his holy light, mortals can never see. This is the path

00:02:50of solitude.

00:02:52If 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. Say hi to Grandpa.

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

00:03:22Our Jude is the sterling heir. But 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. But this is beneath me. Yet here I stand.

00:03:44This time, I'm here to make things right. You will grovel before her tomb. Mark my words!

00:03:49a

00:04:05beyond

00:04:05Hey! Didn't you walk here from the village, huh? Grandpa's been sitting here! You've been keeping him waiting!

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

00:04:17I wonder what god you all worked up.

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

00:04:21Save your breath, Grandpa. You 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.

00:04:39If any disagreement between him and us becomes even slightly invisible,

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

00:04:48How can you be so dense? It's obvious that you're not thinking.

00:04:51But I...

00:04:52That's okay.

00:04:53Please hold your temper.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:31But dad!

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

00:05:32That's enough!

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:08A dog!

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

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

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

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

00:06:22I 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.

00:06:41What?

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:05Indeed.

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.

00:07:30He...

00:07:31He 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.

00:07:38Hold it.

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

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

00:07:48Also, 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?

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

00:08:01Or the way scholars duel?

00:08:03Keep your mouth shut.

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

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

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

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

00:08:28Did 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.

00:09:21Uh, Pearl.

00:09:23Keen as a falcon sigh.

00:09:24Fierce as a rearing stallion.

00:09:26What a masterpiece.

00:09:28Cast into the mud.

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

00:09:31His brush source.

00:09:32Hitting the paper like a warhorse.

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.

00:10:14As 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.

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

00:10:32Charlemagne surviving work.

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

00:10:35Observe it carefully.

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

00:10:38Mother, 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.

00:10:49How dare you take this?

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

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

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

00:11:00I'm sorry.

00:11:05Benjamin.

00:11:05How much did you memorize?

00:11:11Carolingian minuscule.

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

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

00:11:19The prophecy spoke of?

00:11:28The study.

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

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

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

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

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

00:12:00Did that amuse you?

00:12:02It'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.

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

00:12:36Also, 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.

00:12:54The 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 slayed 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.

00:13:34Thank you, Mrs. Wilkins.

00:13:36He's nothing but a lowling 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.

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

00:13:49Mr. Clay?

00:13:49Are you talking about Mr. Henry Clay,

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

00:13:54Yes, 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.

00:14:17One more day,

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

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

00:14:23This is killing me.

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

00:14:31and it'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

00:14:40from 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.

00:14:52This cannot wait.

00:14:54Your Highness!

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

00:14:56Mr. Jensen collapsed his occlusion.

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

00:15:07is 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.

00:15:38What kind of power could devour the energy of an entire city with such force?

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

00:15:47Unbelievable.

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

00:15:50I 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 power such as his.

00:16:00A dukedom would be a mere trifle, a petty price to pay.

00:16:04If it means I could stand beside true power.

00:16:11I am almost there.

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

00:16:27This boy is plain looking 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 were in Lord of Sterling, he'd never get to encounter a literary genius like me.

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

00:16:48Unbelievable.

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

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

00:16:57Here are seven books.

00:16:58Choose one.

00:16:59I will drill you for 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.

00:17:08And 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, pick one of these books in front of you.

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?

00:17:53Let me tell you.

00:17:54Even 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 Solorane's ten literary titans.

00:18:04Were 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.

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

00:18:27Lines flow free.

00:18:28No rigid rows.

00:18:29Grace found in chaos.

00:18:30Ball strokes tans.

00:18:31The italic script.

00:18:33Do you already know that?

00:18:34Gothic script is neat.

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

00:18:37It's perfect balance.

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.

00:18:46Yet somehow, it'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?

00:19:01What 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, which Roman general boldly crossed the Rubicon declaring,

00:19:23The tie is cast.

00:19:25Do you know that?

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

00:19:33Julius Caesar.

00:19:39He waged his civil war against Pompey the Great, once his own ally.

00:19:45And his partner?

00:19:47Crassus and Pompey.

00:19:49You'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.

00:19:58From Cicero.

00:19:59O Tempora.

00:20:00O Moris.

00:20:01From Cotillinarians.

00:20:02Denouncing Catelyn's conspiracy.

00:20:04Which speech was it?

00:20:05The first Cotillinarian.

00:20:06He breathes the classics.

00:20:08Fortune 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 Coral Mass.

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

00:20:18Pro patria mori.

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

00:20:23The wrestlers than the dancers.

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

00:20:26Who first refused to fight in the Iliad?

00:20:30Achilles.

00:20:31The greatest warrior.

00:20:32He chose pride over war.

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

00:20:40The Sibyl of Cure.

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

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

00:20:55I'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.

00:21:17I must be off.

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

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

00:21:25Jude 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.

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

00:21:37That means tomorrow at the banquet, that will be his defining moment.

00:21:49The italic script.

00:21:51This was 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.

00:22:09Use a gold frame.

00:22:10Place it in the 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.

00:23:07The 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?

00:23:50Where does that leave me?

00:23:58Soon.

00:23:59Almost there.

00:24:08Done at last.

00:24:13Trinity crowned.

00:24:15My 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 fire 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?

00:24:39Grandpa.

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

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

00:24:44Exactly.

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

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

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

00:24:50Besides, he's been raised in the countryside. He lacks all cultured grace.

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

00:24:57He goes, and that's why I'm...

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. Divine wisdom met my eyes today.

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

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

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

00:25:23Move it, sir! Hurry! Why do you walk so slowly?

00:25:29Hurry, Jude!

00:25:36Alright. Everyone's here. Let's go to the Princess Manor.

00:25:48Sean. All 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. It has finally come!

00:25:56All noble houses will assemble. I expect you to completely stun every single one of them in the scholarly duel.

00:26:02Besides, Mr. Clay is your former mentor. I'm very sure that he will back you up during the duel.

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

00:26:12Ha ha ha ha ha!

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

00:26:49Be exiled once more, Jude.

00:26:51For 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?

00:27:18I, 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.

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

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

00:28:07He's the Literary Comet, 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, wields diverse script styles, and by ten has already

00:28:23mastered all the classical works and even outdone you?

00:28:26Huh!

00:28:27That's impossible!

00:28:28Ten years old?

00:28:30He couldn't have mastered that unless...

00:28:32He started studying while still in the womb.

00:28:35Or this hearsay.

00:28:38I'd dismiss it.

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

00:28:44Huh?

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.

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

00:29:12Hehehe.

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, and he's totally useless.

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

00:29:41Finally.

00:29:43Yesterday was just a warm up.

00:29:44Yet 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?

00:29:59Where's Anthony?

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

00:30:01No idea.

00:30:02No matter.

00:30:03Let's go in.

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

00:30:11The three literary giants together with these powerful high lords, they're all here just for me.

00:30:16I raised the great sun.

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

00:30:22Sir Jensen, I have this strange feeling.

00:30:26Me too, your highness.

00:30:28He's getting close.

00:30:31I can sense it.

00:30:32That powerful presence is nearing.

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

00:30:38Prince 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.

00:30:44Even the others have followed.

00:30:45The Sterlings?

00:30:49In that case, we shouldn't miss this.

00:30:58Mr. Clay, Mr. Barret, Mr. Turner, you honor me too much.

00:31:02You flatter me.

00:31:08What's going on?

00:31:09What had been no idea?

00:31:13There he is.

00:31:19That's Jude Sterling!

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

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

00:31:29But wait, who is Jude? Who is he?

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

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

00:31:36Sam!

00:31:37Does Sterling mute air? Jude 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 Alfor!

00:31:48The Prince has arrived! Hail to Prince Souththor!

00:31:51May your highness reign with greatness for millennia!

00:31:55Hail to Prince Souththor!

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

00:32:01Hail to Prince Souththor!

00:32:06Hey Jude, on your knees!

00:32:08The Prince demands respect!

00:32:10Kneel? The one who should kneel is him!

00:32:17What are you doing?

00:32:18What are you doing?

00:32:18Stop it! On your knees!

00:32:21This is bad.

00:32:22This is treason!

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

00:32:39Is he trying to get us all killed?

00:32:41Are you Prince Souththor?

00:32:45Are you Prince Souththor?

00:32:49Wasn't he mute?

00:32:50What?

00:32:50Why is he speaking?

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

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!

00:32:59We renounced him years ago!

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

00:33:02We're not related!

00:33:07Step 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 you 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?

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

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

00:33:42Every technique, aged to perfection.

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

00:33:48A ten-year-old boy?

00:33:49Like an immortal?

00:33:51Mr. Clay, your arithmetic is failing you now.

00:33:55Not just that.

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

00:34:00A 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.

00:34:18Mr. 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 his youth.

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.

00:34:47Mr. Clay claims that your grandson is exceptional.

00:34:50Is this all true?

00:34:53No.

00:34:53Careful, your highness.

00:34:55It's clear that brat is putting on an act.

00:34:57Mr. 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 could 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, why don't you fight for your family's honor, Jude 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!

00:35:44The 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!

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

00:35:53Silence!

00:35:54I won't!

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

00:35:56I said be quiet!

00:35:58Sir!

00:36:02Mr. 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...

00:36:22They're just bluffing!

00:36:23What?

00:36:23Redefine?

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?

00:36:38Good!

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...

00:36:48Speak now.

00:36:49Tell me...

00:36:50How come you suddenly changed?

00:36:55If 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 putting you thrown to the mountains!

00:37:25This is embarrassing!

00:37:27Alright, that's enough!

00:37:29Everyone!

00:37:29Let's head to the hall!

00:37:35Everyone!

00:37:36Let's head to the hall!

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

00:37:47But 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.

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

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

00:38:01We 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...

00:38:08Then...

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

00:38:12Call me...

00:38:12Orin.

00:38:27I am begging you.

00:38:30In one condition.

00:38:32Just name it.

00:38:34Mom and I suffered out there for so many years.

00:38:37I made it through.

00:38:38But she...

00:38:39She endured endless suffering.

00:38:41Until it killed her.

00:38:42I didn't come back to join your Sterling family.

00:38:45I'm here to demand justice for my mother.

00:38:50So listen carefully.

00:38:51If I win this contest...

00:38:53You, Benjamin Sterling, and your whole household...

00:38:57And even down to your family dog...

00:38:59We'll go to her grave.

00:39:01And you all better show up.

00:39:03You'll bow.

00:39:04And confess how blind and foolish you all were.

00:39:08What the hell are you saying?

00:39:10Dad!

00:39:10Are you telling me that you were convinced that he actually got talent?

00:39:14Shut up, both of you!

00:39:22All right.

00:39:24If you win, I'll do what you want me to do.

00:39:27I'll march every last Sterling to your mom's grave.

00:39:30We will all show our respect...

00:39:32And admit...

00:39:33That we were fools to throw you out.

00:39:36Dad!

00:39:37Grandpa!

00:39:47I might not belong to this world...

00:39:50But...

00:39:51From the moment I came here...

00:39:52I saw you as my mother.

00:39:54Seven years ago...

00:39:55They threw you out of the family...

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

00:39:59Stop being lazy and get this mess cleaned up!

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

00:40:01I made extra 50 bucks today.

00:40:03You wanted the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, right?

00:40:05I'm still a thousand short...

00:40:06But Mama will get it for you soon.

00:40:08Today...

00:40:08I'll crush the Sterling family...

00:40:10And I'll make sure that by tomorrow...

00:40:12Their whole Sterling clan...

00:40:14Will kneel before your grave and give respect.

00:40:16They will all bow to you...

00:40:18And admit...

00:40:20That they were wrong.

00:40:28I'm Jude Sterling.

00:40:30Mom is sick.

00:40:31She doesn't have much time left.

00:40:32I've never called you Dad before.

00:40:34Dad?

00:40:35Could you come see her?

00:40:47I'm so sorry.

00:40:49I...

00:40:50I won't be here anymore...

00:40:52To see you sore.

00:40:54You're just 10 years old.

00:40:56Just when you needed me most.

00:40:59I...

00:41:00I...

00:41:13Mom, forgive me.

00:41:15I'm not mute.

00:41:16I'm sorry.

00:41:17I just wish you could have heard my voice.

00:41:19They want me back.

00:41:21Therefore, I'm going.

00:41:23They threw you out just like a piece of trash.

00:41:26With no name and no rights.

00:41:27I'll promise that I'll make them pay.

00:41:31Every last Sterling...

00:41:32Will have to kneel in mourning clothes in front of your grave.

00:41:36I'll force them...

00:41:36Until they scream at themselves that they were fools.

00:41:39That they've wronged you.

00:41:42This is madness.

00:41:44Grandpa.

00:41:44Why the hell is he taking my spot?

00:41:46This was our last shot to prove ourselves.

00:41:48And you just handed it to him.

00:41:52Remember this day.

00:41:53Because of my presence.

00:41:54Today will become the most glorious day ever recorded in your family's history.

00:42:01So watch carefully and see for yourself.

00:42:03How I, Jude Sterling, will elevate your status so far beyond anything you could 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, will personally bury every one of you in the deepest, darkest pits of damnation.

00:42:24How dare you!

00:42:25Shut up!

00:42:26Jude Sterling!

00:42:26You got a death wish?

00:42:27Jude!

00:42:30Heaven or hell.

00:42:31Now where destiny hangs in the balance, we'll see how a ten-year-old whelp can bring us glory in

00:42:37a day to elevate this family or crush us into the darkest depths of damnation.

00:42:43Grandpa!

00:42:43Let's go!

00:42:44Quickly!

00:42:46If destiny grants us a prodigy, I promise to kneel at her grave.

00:42:49Dad!

00:42:50Have 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!

00:42:57A 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.

00:43:27Skyseer.

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.

00:43:33I'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?

00:43:45Not everyone could have the chance of meeting him.

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

00:43:50You should sue if I were you.

00:43:51What?

00:44:11Dawnshire breed scholars, half 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 to you, Prince Salthor.

00:44:49May you prosper 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.

00:45:01And today, we're graced by three literary giants.

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

00:45:08A master whose brushwork breathes vitality into paper.

00:45:12Each stroke unfolding stories of the human soul, portraying emotions and truths that span the ages.

00:45:18Next is Chester Barrett.

00:45:21At 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.

00:45:34By the age of 29, he led Soloran's letters and offering counsel to emperors themselves.

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

00:45:44This gathering's prestige is really unmatched.

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

00:45:48They're all here.

00:45:49To 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.

00:46:02But 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?

00:46:17Five billion?

00:46:19Five billion?

00:46:20Five billion?

00:46:21Five billion?

00:46:21This is unreal.

00:46:22You must win.

00:46:23The prize is five billion.

00:46:25That's more liquid wealth than the entire family ever has.

00:46:28But that bastard stole Soloran's place.

00:46:30Now he's flaunting his wealth.

00:46:32Truly a prodigy, he is a ten-year-old with the proper composure of an emperor.

00:46:36And 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...

00:46:48Don Shire's Paramount Bloodline.

00:46:51Paramount Bloodline?

00:46:52Paramount Bloodline by Imperial mandate!

00:46:54Total dominance over the Don Shire's nobility!

00:46:56No Don Shire house has ever claimed this title. I wonder who will get it this time.

00:47:01If you lose, I'll break your legs myself!

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

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

00:47:11Except... maybe 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 rock it to divine status.

00:47:29Let's begin!

00:47:30Announce your numbers. Confirm if all are present.

00:47:32House Zeller, all present!

00:47:34House Reeves, all present!

00:47:36House Spencer, all present!

00:47:38House Zinc, all present!

00:47:39House Stones, all present!

00:47:40House Sterling, all present!

00:47:43For 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!

00:47:52Owen Stone of House Stone!

00:47:54Morgan Zinc of House Zinc!

00:47:55Caleb Zeller of House Ziller!

00:47:59Jude Sterling of House Sterling!

00:48:03Alright, let the battle begin!

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

00:48:08This battle tests three essential skills!

00:48:10First, intellect!

00:48:12Second, erudition!

00:48:13And third, calligraphy!

00:48:18Grandpa, this wait and see!

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

00:48:23Clearly, you underestimate your brother, but he outshines you tenfold!

00:48:26But that's absurd!

00:48:27Dad!

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

00:48:30Dad!

00:48:31Now 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?

00:48:44We've never had that before!

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

00:48:47There's no way I'll survive this!

00:48:48Who even studies couplets anymore?

00:48:50Even I can barely get through them!

00:48:52I 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!

00:49:05The 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, but these are harsh rules!

00:49:20How thrilling!

00:49:21Truly!

00:49:21Hold 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!

00:49:33This 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?

00:50:14Huh?

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

00:50:18What makes him so special?

00:50:20Did 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!

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

00:50:53That makes no sense!

00:50:54How so?

00:50:56Explain 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!

00:51:18Let 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!

00:51:33Oh no!

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

00:51:36First line!

00:51:38Eagle Brings Blessings by Emerald Streams!

00:51:41Excellent!

00:51:43Well 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!

00:52:00These couplets are tricky, since 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!

00:52:20That 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?

00:52:48Exquisite!

00:52:48That's perfection!

00:52:50Mr. 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!

00:53:13Oh!

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!

00:53:25He just got lucky!

00:53:26Jude Sterling!

00:53:26Mr. Clay didn't just acknowledge you, he 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!

00:53:58Good!

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!

00:54:10Huh!

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!

00:54:22Then 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!

00:54:40It's a numerical coupling!

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!

00:55:03If you still can't figure out the answer, I will take my chance!

00:55:08For I...

00:55:09Already know what it is!

00:55:11You know the answer?

00:55:12Already?!

00:55:14Then place, go ahead!

00:55:16A silver crescent...

00:55:18Cast gentle shimmering glow...

00:55:20Twice Harvest Moon's turn...

00:55:26My answer is...

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

00:55:33Very well!

00:55:34That's the one!

00:55:36Seriously?!

00:55:36There's no way!

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!

00:55:45Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:55:47Harvest Moon's this age's prime...

00:55:49Crescent's glow to Autumn's show...

00:55:50That's flawless!

00:55:52A perfect match!

00:55:53Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

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

00:55:59Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

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 you 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!

00:56:34Very well!

00:56:36Let me hear it!

00:56:40First line!

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

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

00:56:47Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:56:49How 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!

00:57:06Wow!

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...

00:57:30Already?

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...

00:57:41He'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!

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

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

00:58:03Woods compounded, pine, oak, a towering forest!

00:58:06Well...

00:58:07But...

00:58:07What?

00:58:08Even a sage would struggle with that!

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

00:58:12That's witchcraft!

00:58:14Alright, 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?

00:58:37Ah, 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!

00:58:44Jude 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!

00:58:55What would be the question?

00:58:56I have no idea!

00:58:58But if they all call it unsolvable, then...

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

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! How 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,

00:59:26the 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,

00:59:39as this problem remains unsolved for ages!

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

00:59:46What is this unsolvable riddle of yours?

00:59:50Listen well.

00:59:52Lotus leaf, lilac, lilt, 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.

01:00:07I got it!

01:00:08I know the answer!

01:00:09What?

01:00:10What?

01:00:10You?

01:00:13You?

01:00:14Keith!

01:00:15Be quiet!

01:00:15This challenge is beyond you!

01:00:17Dad!

01:00:18Must you question me?

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

01:00:21Child's play?

01:00:21The answer is thorny, though 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.

01:00:34Lotus leaf, lilac, lilt, lake lichen.

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

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

01:00:41So 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.

01:00:52How is it not fitting?

01:00:53Mr. Reeves, don't you know versus?

01:00:55Shut it!

01:00:56Guards!

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

01:01:00Throw him out!

01:01:01Mr. Barrett!

01:01:01Green Hills to lotus leaf!

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

01:01:04My logic stands!

01:01:05The artistry of that first line escapes you entirely, and yet you dare to answer it?

01:01:11Throw him out!

01:01:12But all of you here know!

01:01:14My imagery fits, my rhythm true, and it captures the cliff's menace!

01:01:18Just stop it, Wilkins!

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

01:01:22Think about these words carefully!

01:01:24They're all starting with letter L!

01:01:26Yeah, this is no mere imagery only.

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

01:01:32A flawless line!

01:01:34An impossible standard!

01:01:35All starts with L!

01:01:36Indeed, all 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 crelled with L!

01:01:46You fool!

01:01:47You're blind to its design, and yet you strut like you want!

01:01:51You made things difficult!

01:01:52Lotus leaf, lilac lilt, lake lichen, all starts with L!

01:01:56The art is in the sound!

01:01:57Exactly!

01:01:58Oh god!

01:01:59How did I miss that?

01:02:01Guards!

01:02:01Remove this jester 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!

01:02:25We got it!

01:02:26A true marvel!

01:02:26The unsolvable line!

01:02:28He 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!

01:02:51I crafted five answers!

01:02:52What?!

01:02:53Five?!

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?!

01:03:00You just wildly!

01:03:01How dare you?!

01:03:02What five?!

01:03:04Lotus leaf, lilac lilt, lake lichen!

01:03:07The first answer that I gave you is...

01:03:10Roast root, reed rush, red rose hip!

01:03:13As for the second answer...

01:03:15Moss mound, maple mist, misty meadow!

01:03:18That fits!

01:03:19That fits!

01:03:19He's right!

01:03:21And for the third answer...

01:03:24Willow wood, white wood, wild wheat!

01:03:27The fourth answer will be...

01:03:29Bay beach, broad banks, briny billows!

01:03:32There's no way!

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

01:03:36Brookbend, bayou branch, blue brine!

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!

01:03:47I 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 ancient!

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?

01:04:03Right now...

01:04:04You still...

01:04:05Don't qualify!

01:04:06Huh?

01:04:07What did you say?

01:04:08That's way too cocky!

01:04:09How 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?

01:04:16Who 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...

01:04:29We're looking at a true legend!

01:04:31If that's the case...

01:04:33Then he really doesn't measure up!

01:04:35Maybe...

01:04:35Even I fall short of the standard as well!

01:04:39Can we finally move on to the next trial?

01:04:41Chester!

01:04:41Stand up!

01:04:42You simply...

01:04:43Don't have the qualities that he requires!

01:04:47What?

01:04:48Stand up!

01:04:48The Lunamount delegation...

01:04:50Will explain everything!

01:04:52Lunamount?

01:04:53So you mean...

01:04:54The Solorane'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...

01:05:07That 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!

01:05:15What exactly is the Lunamount?

01:05:17They'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!

01:05:31Open your eyes!

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

01:05:34If Lunamount ever considered taking me in...

01:05:36Who cares about inheritance?

01:05:38ArchSage would mean nothing!

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

01:05:43Every name fades to nothing in their shadow!

01:05:46Sean...

01:05:47The Lunamount rarely appears...

01:05:49This is it!

01:05:50This is your golden chance!

01:05:51Dad!

01:05:51Break your connections to reach them!

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

01:05:56Even if...

01:05:56You become their floor scrubber!

01:05:58A servant?

01:05:59Any servant of theirs gets to have equal treatment...

01:06:02From the rich!

01:06:03And even from the nobility!

01:06:05What?

01:06:09What?

01:06:10Lunamount?

01:06:11From how they are acting?

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

01:06:15Hmph!

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!

01:06:35Prince Seltor and I, we both felt it!

01:06:37That suffocating pressure!

01:06:39Radiating from him!

01:06:40The night before, we saw him practicing!

01:06:43Devouring every spiritual energy in the city!

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...

01:06:54I 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!

01:07:23Well, but if he really is a mystic like he says, and only ten years old, perhaps I will mentor

01:07:30him myself and grant him this chance!

01:07:34What?

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?

01:07:41Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

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

01:07:57Pentaforce 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, he's shown us extraordinary talents that makes him deserving of being the first place

01:08:25even in the second trial as well!

01:08:28Hmm!

01:08:28Then further trials are simply pointless!

01:08:31I totally agree with you!

01:08:33Hmph!

01:08:34Bring the ink and brush!

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

01:08:44Please decide!

01:08:46If Mr. Clay insists that he knows all the ten artistic styles of calligraphy, let's see!

01:08:52Let him prove to us that he can actually write!

01:08:54Very well!

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

01:08:57Hmph!

01:08:58Ten?

01:08:59Really?

01:09:00That's impossible!

01:09:01Nobody does that!

01:09:02Yeah!

01:09:03Chester!

01:09:04You'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!

01:09:17You 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?

01:09:29You're making fun of us!

01:09:30I 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?

01:09:39Jude, do you accept?

01:09:41Why wouldn't I?

01:09:42What?

01:09:43Did he really master ten?

01:09:44Well...

01:09:45I can't do it!

01:09:46I'm out!

01:09:47However...

01:09:47I refuse to believe he can do it!

01:09:49Nor do I!

01:09:50I also yield!

01:09:51So...

01:09:52All of you behind him!

01:09:53Master...

01:09:54I yield already!

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

01:09:56Let alone write them!

01:09:58Same!

01:09:59Count 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 foil for him!

01:10:09Exactly!

01:10:10This trial...

01:10:11Is completely meaningless!

01:10:13And now...

01:10:13You want us to write the sacred text in ten different styles?

01:10:16No human being could possibly know those ten styles!

01:10:20And how to write all of them!

01:10:24Unless...

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!

01:10:38That is just impeccable!

01:10:40Told you so!

01:10:41You 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!

01:11:04So 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...

01:11:11Each characters 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?

01:11:32The 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!

01:11:45Ancho 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 that even if they called you mute,

01:11:58she always saw the genius in you at an early age!

01:12:02I...

01:12:03I believe that too!

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

01:12:15Clerical script?

01:12:16Is this clerical script?

01:12:17It's a fancy clerical script!

01:12:18Unbelievable!

01:12:19He actually knows it!

01:12:22So 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 Lunamount's favor, then I can still crush you into dirt, Jude!

01:12:31Haha!

01:12:32A mute's a mute!

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

01:12:36Even with all your words, you still look utterly helpless to me!

01:12:43Master!

01:12:44Disciple 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!

01:12:52Did he invent that?

01:12:53Wait, it's...

01:12:55Carolingian miniscule!

01:12:56What's that?

01:12:59This is Carolingian miniscule!

01:13:02In Charlemagne's era!

01:13:03Thin yet full-bodied!

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

01:13:06He actually mastered it!

01:13:07You really are full of surprises!

01:13:22Enough with the writing!

01:13:25What?

01:13:27After Unchul's script and Carolingian miniscule, I knew it!

01:13:30No one in this world can be a rival to you!

01:13:34Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

01:13:40There is no need to prove yourself to these plebeians!

01:13:45You're the champion!

01:13:48It's over just like that, champion?

01:13:50What?

01:13:51I have no arguments!

01:13:53You've earned this title!

01:13:56The champion is...

01:13:58Jude Sterling!

01:14:00Of House Sterling!

01:14:04Wow, he actually won it!

01:14:06Our champion!

01:14:08Our champion!

01:14:09Our family hasn't produced such genius in many decades!

01:14:13It's a title well earned!

01:14:15I never bow, yet today...

01:14:17I yield to you completely!

01:14:19Congratulations!

01:14:20Congratulations!

01:14:21I fully yield to you, Jude!

01:14:24House Sterling!

01:14:28What?

01:14:29Tell me, does this level of glory suffice for you?

01:14:34Is this high enough?

01:14:36Or must I raise you even higher, pushing you behind every mortal limit?

01:14:40Something's off!

01:14:42What's happening to them?

01:14:49This 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!

01:14:59To us unworldly mystics, they are insects beneath our feet!

01:15:03Of course!

01:15:04Benjamin Sterling!

01:15:06Answer me now!

01:15:07Was your House of Sterling elevated high enough today?

01:15:10Is this enough for you?

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

01:15:16This isn't right!

01:15:17What happened?

01:15:18Jude!

01:15:18Stop!

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 Arshan!

01:15:27I am asking you, was it enough?

01:15:30If you're satisfied, I 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 in mourning robes!

01:15:44Admit you were wrong!

01:15:46Jude Sterling, I don't recall making such promises to anyone!

01:15:55Though I agreed with your condition, your mom was still just a woman, unworthy of my dignity.

01:16:01I am the patriarch, the face of the family, and my forehead has never touched dirt!

01:16:07So you intend to deny the oath you made?

01:16:09Jude!

01:16:10Be reasonable!

01:16:12We belong to a noble family!

01:16:14Face matters more than promises!

01:16:16Remember that!

01:16:17So just accept the reward, and all our wealth will be transferred to you!

01:16:23Dad!

01:16:23If you won't give in, then forget it!

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

01:16:32You must be kidding me!

01:16:34I don't care about your treasures!

01:16:36Those are nothing but dust to me!

01:16:38I've surpassed your petty realm entirely!

01:16:41Ha ha ha ha ha!

01:16:43What a very noble speech!

01:16:44I'm really touched!

01:16:58I, Southor, pay my respects to the Master of Lunamount and Head Disciple!

01:17:17What?!

01:17:17Master of Lunamount!

01:17:19Lunamount envoys!

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

01:17:21The Master even came in person!

01:17:22That's their Master!

01:17:27The Master's here!

01:17:28Why 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!

01:17:35All hail Master of Lunamount!

01:17:37All hail Master of Lunamount!

01:17:38All hail Master of Lunamount!

01:17:40Just a normal, young boy!

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

01:17:44Hmph!

01:17:45Barely a Divine Nexus tier!

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

01:17:49Either he's way stronger than me, I can't see through him, or he's just a nobody!

01:17:56You!

01:17:57On your knees now!

01:18:02You!

01:18:03On your knees now!

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

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

01:18:09What a waste!

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

01:18:11Kneel now!

01:18:12How dare you disrespect Lunamount!

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

01:18:16Do you even hear yourself, young man?!

01:18:19I said!

01:18:20Who do you think you are?

01:18:24I'm the Head Disciple of Lunamount!

01:18:26My name is Hag Kaltavian!

01:18:28I'm the Head Disciple of Lunamount!

01:18:28Lunamount!

01:18:29Are they important?

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

01:18:34Lunamount is Solorane's protector!

01:18:36Every top cultivator in the Empire gathers there!

01:18:39We have 300 disciples!

01:18:41On your knees!

01:18:42Plead for the sake of your 300 disciples!

01:18:44Were it not for my mercy, you 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?!

01:18:58Is he really a mystic?

01:18:59If he is, how strong must he be to talk like that?

01:19:03If not, is he just some reckless kid running his mouth?

01:19:07He 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?

01:19:14Shoot!

01:19:16Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness!

01:19:19Kneel down!

01:19:29He's an outcast from our family!

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

01:19:33Nothing at all!

01:19:34Please have mercy!

01:19:35Please punish him, not us!

01:19:36He's not a Sterling!

01:19:37He 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!

01:19:42I'm begging you!

01:19:43Am I still a Sterling?

01:19:47Am I still a Sterling?

01:19:49No!

01:19:49You never were!

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

01:19:52So am I abandoned?

01:19:54Master!

01:19:55He's not a Sterling!

01:19:56Yeah!

01:19:57We already disowned him!

01:19:58We exiled him!

01:19:59It's true!

01:20:00Seven years ago!

01:20:02Master from Lunamount, he's the only crazy one in here!

01:20:05We have nothing to do with this!

01:20:06We're innocent!

01:20:07Kill only the guilty!

01:20:09Didn't I just make myself clear?

01:20:11I'm not a Sterling!

01:20:12I am an Oran!

01:20:14Yet you insist that I'm a Sterling!

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

01:20:17That it is my duty to secure victory for you and 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!

01:20:28That name was never yours!

01:20:30Yeah!

01:20:31Even you call yourself an Oran!

01:20:33You're never a Sterling, Jude!

01:20:36Dad!

01:20:37What are you talking about?

01:20:40Dad!

01:20:40What are you talking about?

01:20:42Shut up!

01:20:44Love, I just felt the baby move!

01:20:55I'm done with this!

01:20:57All your lives, you've drowned in vanity and greed!

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

01:21:03Seven years ago, when Jude was only three years old, all of you!

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

01:21:09You said we only breed prodigies!

01:21:12That my Mew child would shame us all!

01:21:15You're lying!

01:21:16Stop with the lies!

01:21:17He's only three years old, and you simply threw him out!

01:21:20You even exiled him with my wife!

01:21:23When I refused, you called me this loyal, but I said no!

01:21:27Then you called me the ungrateful son, clueless about the big picture!

01:21:31Well, screw that!

01:21:32You don't know what I've been through!

01:21:34None of you!

01:21:36My poor wife, she raised him alone!

01:21:39I wasn't even there!

01:21:41And when she died, I wasn't there for them either!

01:21:44I've been living with guilt and it eats me up every day!

01:21:47You only wanted to bring Jude home, because the prince expects the perfect family!

01:21:52But I know, that you're only using him!

01:21:56You're only using him!

01:21:58But me, I'll take it!

01:22:00You know why?

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

01:22:09Now I can proudly say, that he is my son again!

01:22:13All you wanted, was to parade his kills around!

01:22:17To drill into him!

01:22:19You're a sterling!

01:22:20Make us proud!

01:22:21And then what did you do?

01:22:22Lunamount shows up!

01:22:24Jude won't bow to them!

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

01:22:28So which is it?

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, then sweet-talked him into coming back home!

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

01:22:47That's just cruel and cold!

01:22:49I feel sorry for you, kid!

01:22:51After everything that's happened, a ten-year-old still managed to outshine the legends?

01:22:56Live or die today, kid!

01:22:58You're already my hero, Jude Sterling!

01:23:01He's wrong!

01:23:02He's not one of us!

01:23:04Not since I kicked him out!

01:23:05He's not one of us since seven years ago!

01:23:08Fine!

01:23:09Deny him!

01:23:11But today, I'm finally stepping up!

01:23:15I'm Jude's father!

01:23:17My name...

01:23:18Is Anthony Sterling!

01:23:21Ha ha ha ha ha!

01:23:23I understand it now, I get it!

01:23:26Hey kid, I 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?

01:23:39Today...

01:23:39You're going to meet your end!

01:23:42Andy!

01:23:44Yes, brother!

01:23:45Go!

01:23:46Make it quick for the boy!

01:23:48Yes!

01:23:50Sorry, kid!

01:23:51You're just ten years old, and really talented!

01:23:54However, don't blame me for what comes next!

01:23:56After today, you'll be Dawnshire's greatest prodigy!

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

01:24:03Just name your price!

01:24:04You!

01:24:05Move it!

01:24:07Jude!
