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!

00:04:05Hey! Did 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.

00:24:51Besides, 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.

00:25:00But, Grandpa.

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

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

00:25:08Divine 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 Sturly clan and even the Prince.

00:25:23Move it, sir.

00:25:25Hurry.

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

00:25:29Hurry, 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.

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

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

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

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

00:26:11In front of the royalty.

00:26:12Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

00:26:13Ha ha ha ha ha.

00:26:15Jude.

00:26:16Today's feast is merely a ceremony.

00:26:19What 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.

00:26:28See, 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.

00:26:51For 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?

00:27:17I, 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.

00:27:33I 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 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, wields diverse script styles,

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

00:28:27Huh.

00:28:27That's impossible.

00:28:2910 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.

00:28:44From 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.

00:28:57Ah, 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.

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.

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

00:29:41Finally.

00:29:42Yesterday 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.

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

00:30:05Huh?

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

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

00:30:15They'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.

00:30:24I have this strange feeling.

00:30:26Me too, your highness.

00:30:28Peace.

00:30:29Getting 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. 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?

00:31:13There 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?

00:31:30Who 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?

00:31:39Jude 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 millennia.

00:31:55Hail to Prince Southar.

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

00:32:01Hail to Prince Southar.

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

00:32:08The Prince demands respect.

00:32:10Kneel?

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

00:32:16Jude, what are you doing?

00:32:18Stop it.

00:32:19On your knees.

00:32:20Oh, oh, oh.

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?

00:32:55How dare you?

00:32:56Get 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.

00:33:07Step 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, all of you.

00:33:18Thank you, Remilis.

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?

00:33:37And 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 the grace of masters.

00:33:48A ten-year-old boy, like an immortal?

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

00:33:55Not just that.

00:33:56He's also astonishingly learned.

00:33:58A 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 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

00:34:39to outright madness.

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.

00:34:55It'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, you'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, why don't you fight for your family's honor,

00:35:29Jude 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!

00:35:53I won't!

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

00:35:56I said be quiet!

00:35:58Son!

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...

00:36:22You'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 that you can, all of a sudden, speak now?

00:36:49Tell me, how come you suddenly changed?

00:36:55If you mess this up, that'll be considered as treason!

00:37:03Hmph.

00:37:05It just...

00:37:05Happened suddenly.

00:37:08How peculiar.

00:37:10Must we stand here?

00:37:12My legs are aching.

00:37:14Huh?

00:37:15Did you hear that?

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

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

00:37:20A kid is no matters at all!

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

00:37:23He's with a new throne to the mountains!

00:37:25This is embarrassing!

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

00:37:28Everyone, 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.

00:38:01We 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, then...

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

00:38:11Call me...

00:38:27I am begging you.

00:38:31In 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...

00:38:46To demand justice for my mother.

00:38:50So listen carefully.

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

00:38:53You...

00:38:54Benjamin Sterling...

00:38:55And your whole household...

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

00:39:00Will go to her grave.

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

00:39:03You'll bow...

00:39:04And confess...

00:39:06How blind...

00:39:07And foolish you all were.

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

00:39:10Dad!

00:39:10Are you telling me...

00:39:11That you were convinced...

00:39:13That he actually got talent?

00:39:14Shut up both of you!

00:39:23Alright...

00:39:23If you win...

00:39:25I'll do what you want me to do.

00:39:27I'll march every last Sterling...

00:39:29To 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.

00:40:17They 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.

00:40:30She 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?

00:40:48I'm so sorry.

00:40:49I...

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

00:40:52To see you soar.

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...

00:41:21I'm going.

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

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

00:41:28I'll promise that I'll make them pay.

00:41:31Every last Sterling...

00:41:32Will have to kneel in morn 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...

00:41:55Will 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...

00:42:04Jude Sterling...

00:42:05Will elevate your status so far beyond anything you could ever imagine in your life.

00:42:10Jude...

00:42:11What are you saying?

00:42:12If your entire family...

00:42:13Failed to keep the promises you gave me...

00:42:15Then keep your eyes wide open and watch...

00:42:17How I...

00:42:18Jude Sterling...

00:42:19Will personally bury...

00:42:21Every one of you in the deepest...

00:42:22Darkest pits of damnation.

00:42:24How dare you!

00:42:25Shut up!

00:42:26Jude Sterling!

00:42:27You got a death wish?

00:42:28Jude!

00:42:30Heaven or hell...

00:42:31Now where destiny hangs in the balance...

00:42:33We'll see how a ten-year-old whelp...

00:42:36Can bring us glory in a day...

00:42:38To elevate this family...

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

00:42:43Grandpa!

00:42:43Let's go!

00:42:44Quickly!

00:42:45If destiny grants us a prodigy...

00:42:48I 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!

00:42:58A total nonsense?

00:42:59If he's the prodigy...

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

00:43:05Did you feel that?

00:43:06When he moved towards us...

00:43:08It's not a man...

00:43:09But a force of nature...

00:43:11And I felt a crushing...

00:43:12Suffocating terror...

00:43:14When the heavens rumbled and stirred last night...

00:43:17I knew that it came from the Sterlings...

00:43:20But...

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

00:43:22What do we do now?

00:43:23He's really here...

00:43:24But I am too scared to call him...

00:43:26Skye's here...

00:43:27But what if...

00:43:28We are both mistaken...

00:43:29The kid is still too young...

00:43:31To 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...

00:43:39To 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...

00:43:46Could have the chance of meeting him...

00:43:47If he weren't a kid...

00:43:48I'd call him Dad...

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

00:43:51What?

00:44:11Don Shire breed scholars...

00:44:13Half of Soloran's greatest literary legends...

00:44:16Were born and raised under our very skies...

00:44:18And as your Prince Southor...

00:44:20I cherish each and every house's cultural legacy...

00:44:23And today...

00:44:25The eight great families stand firmly rooted in long and profound traditions of learning and intellect...

00:44:30Every four years...

00:44:32We 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...

00:44:42In my 80th birthday banquet...

00:44:45Long life and boundless fortune...

00:44:48To you, Prince Southor...

00:44:49May you prosper through the ages...

00:44:51Long live Prince Southor...

00:44:54What an honor...

00:44:56To 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...

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

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

00:45:15Portraying emotions and truths that span the ages...

00:45:19Next is Chester Barrett...

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

00:45:23A work so profound and stirring...

00:45:25That 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...

00:45:35He led Solaren's letters and offering counsel to emperors themselves...

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

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

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

00:45:48They're all here...

00:45:49To be recognized here would make one's reputation...

00:45:51Today...

00:45:52I will be hosting the Battle of Wit...

00:45:54With the three masters as our judges...

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

00:45:59We offered modest prizes, just a billion or two...

00:46:02But today happens to be my birthday...

00:46:04Therefore...

00:46:05The rewards must match the occasion...

00:46:09Whoever wins first place in this intellectual duel...

00:46:13Gets 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...

00:46:24Mm...

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

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

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

00:46:31Truly a prodigy...

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

00:46:35The proper composure of an emperor...

00:46:37And that is not all...

00:46:38Should you emerge victorious today...

00:46:41I will personally petition the throne to crown your house...

00:46:45With 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...

00:47:01If you lose...

00:47:02I'll break your legs myself...

00:47:03Philip...

00:47:04You must win this duel...

00:47:06Dad...

00:47:07No one outmatches me...

00:47:09Hm...

00:47:11Except...

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...

00:47:21Forces even the noble to drag themselves through hell for the name...

00:47:25With one calculated move...

00:47:27They'd rock it 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...

00:47:38House Zink...

00:47:38All present...

00:47:39House Stones...

00:47:40All present...

00:47:40House Sterling...

00:47:41All present...

00:47:43For the battle of wits...

00:47:44Let 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 Zink of House Zink...

00:47:55Calum Zeller of House Zeller...

00:47:59Jude Sterling of House Sterling...

00:48:03Alright...

00:48:04Let the battle begin...

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

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

00:48:10First...

00:48:11Intellect...

00:48:12Second...

00:48:13Erudition...

00:48:13And third...

00:48:14Calligraphy...

00:48:18Grandpa...

00:48:19This wait and see...

00:48:20Choosing Jude over me...

00:48:21Will disgrace us...

00:48:23Clearly...

00:48:23You underestimate your brother...

00:48:25But 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...

00:48:31Now is not the right time...

00:48:32To make all the worst decisions...

00:48:34Be patient...

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

00:48:37Round one...

00:48:38Intellect...

00:48:38Test your reflexes...

00:48:40Master 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...

00:48:46Except 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...

00:48:53How panicked the others might feel right now...

00:48:55But not him...

00:48:59Round two...

00:49:01Erudition...

00:49:01It is to test your memory...

00:49:03As well as the depth of your knowledge...

00:49:05The masters will recite a classic...

00:49:07And the challenge is for you to name its source...

00:49:10Its history...

00:49:10As well as the exact page where it is from...

00:49:13Huh?

00:49:14I honestly thought the noble exams...

00:49:16Would 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...

00:49:24You expect us to know its history...

00:49:25And 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...

00:49:35Even for most scholars...

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

00:49:39Nobody can answer that!

00:49:40At 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...

00:49:52Doesn't this...

00:49:53Seem to be a bit too difficult?

00:49:58The battles in the previous years...

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

00:50:02But for today...

00:50:03We've made it...

00:50:04Nearly impossible!

00:50:05Why would you do that?

00:50:09Because...

00:50:10This year's contest includes none other...

00:50:12Than Jude Sterling!

00:50:13Him?

00:50:14Huh?

00:50:15Because of him...

00:50:16These impossible standards are tailored for him?

00:50:18What makes him so special?

00:50:20Did he actually do this?

00:50:20So this...

00:50:21Is supposed to be my stage?

00:50:23Is his mastery truly so outstanding...

00:50:26Just like they say?

00:50:27Round three...

00:50:28Calligraphy...

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

00:50:31Master more styles...

00:50:33Execute them well...

00:50:34And 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...

00:50:40But ten styles?

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

00:50:43Prince South Thor 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!

00:51:17Enough 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 South Thor!

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

00:51:33Oh no!

00:51:33Not just a couplet!

00:51:35But 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!

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!

00:52:14But 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!

00:52:58Indeed, 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, but 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!

00:53:31Such 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!

00:54:23Then listen closely!

00:54:24Hold it!

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

00:54:28Twice Harvest Moon's turn!

00:54:30As Silver Crescent's cast gentle, shivering 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!

00:55:04If 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?

00:55:12Already?!

00:55:14Then please, go ahead!

00:55:16As 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...

00:55:30Double 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!

00:55:42Very good!

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

00:55:45Hahahaha!

00:55:47Hahahaha!

00:55:47Harvest Moon's, the Sage's prime...

01:04:12down

01:04:12who does it think he is mr barrett doesn't qualify how dare you who taught you that

01:04:17mr barrett kneeling to him this world has gone completely mad he actually refused him even if

01:04:22he said no he didn't have to say he doesn't qualify jude quit running your mouth unless mr

01:04:28jensen and i are blind we're looking at a true legend if that's the case then he really doesn't

01:04:34measure up maybe even i fall short of the standard as well can we finally move on to the next

01:04:40trial

01:04:41chester stand up you simply don't have the qualities that he requires

01:04:47what stand up the luna mount delegation will explain everything

01:04:52luna mount so you mean the solarane's protectors the luna mounts

01:04:56according to legends even the emperor must train with them they work side by side with each other

01:05:01they're really dispatching the envoys

01:05:05i didn't know that the prince has this connection that even the luna mounts attend his birthday

01:05:11no way this can't be real grandpa what exactly is the luna mount they're what they call the real

01:05:18deities they wield so much power that even the royalty are forced to kneel they are mystics they

01:05:27actually exist they are in this world goodness me open your eyes there's more than just your little

01:05:33pond you know if luna mount ever considered taking me in who cares about inheritance arch sage would

01:05:39mean nothing all mortal achievements are dust before them every name fades to nothing in their shadow

01:05:46sean the luna mount rarely appears this is it this is your golden chance dad

01:05:51work your connections to reach them their simple approval could make you filthy rich even if you become

01:05:57their floor scrubber a servant any servant of theirs gets to have equal treatment from the rich

01:06:03rich and even from the nobility what

01:06:09what luna mount from how they are acting they must be a mystic sect in this world

01:06:16how intriguing

01:06:28hello hank if he came all the way here just for nothing i'll skin you alive i wouldn't dare lie

01:06:34to

01:06:34the luna mounts prince south or and i we both felt it that suffocating pressure radiating from him

01:06:40the night before we saw him practicing devouring every spiritual energy in the city

01:06:46the entire city are 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 to verify it

01:07:01our master is coming with after hearing this start preparing

01:07:05he'll arrive shortly yes

01:07:11fascinating draining the entire city's energy even if it's fake he's still a rogue mystic isn't he

01:07:19do you agree with me hank master andy is a boastful man

01:07:23well but if he really is a mystic like he says

01:07:26and only 10 years old perhaps i will mentor him myself

01:07:31and grant him this chance

01:07:33what master you'd actually taken the 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 but other than those myths nobody else mentions it

01:07:56pentaforce dominion

01:07:58a realm of extraordinary ability but for me i won't i'll never touch it

01:08:05judah solved a couplet unsolved for ages

01:08:08i'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 showed us extraordinary talents that makes him

01:08:23deserving of being the first place even at the second trial as well

01:08:27then further trials are simply pointless

01:08:31i totally agree with you

01:08:33bring the ink and brush

01:08:40how shall we conduct this honorable judges

01:08:43please decide

01:08:45if mr clay insists that he knows all the 10 artistic styles of calligraphy

01:08:50let'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 10 styles

01:08:5710? really?

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

01:09:10for mortals secure purposes

01:09:12for ancestors revive wisdom

01:09:15for eternity forges peace

01:09:16you have to write the immortal creed 10 times

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

01:09:23this 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

01:09:29i only know one style

01:09:31i know the gothic one

01:09:3210 styles is humanly impossible

01:09:34silence

01:09:36jude

01:09:37do you accept?

01:09:39jude

01:09:40do you accept?

01:09:41why wouldn't i?

01:09:42what?

01:09:43did he really master 10?

01:09:44well

01:09:44i can't do it

01:09:45i'm out

01:09:46however

01:09:47i refuse to believe he can do it

01:09:49nor do i

01:09:50i also yield

01:09:51so

01:09:51all of you behind him

01:09:53master

01:09:54i yield already

01:09:55i don't know 10

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

01:10:06were beyond any of us

01:10:07were just foil for him

01:10:08yes

01:10:09exactly

01:10:09this trial

01:10:11is completely meaningless

01:10:12and now

01:10:13you want us to write the sacred text

01:10:15in 10 different styles?

01:10:16no human being

01:10:17can possibly know

01:10:18those 10 styles

01:10:20and how to write all of them

01:10:22unless

01:10:26such exquisite brush stroke

01:10:30his grip

01:10:31the ink flow

01:10:32impossibly steady

01:10:33he moves the brush

01:10:34like he has mastered it for decades

01:10:38that is just impeccable

01:10:39told 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

01:10:47of the brush

01:10:51careful

01:10:59the cursive script

01:11:01he's using the hardest style

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 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

01:11:35not if you believe me

01:11:36this is the italic script

01:11:38each character breathes

01:11:46is he for real?

01:11:47indeed

01:11:48how does he know

01:11:49all of this?

01:26:23You want to learn from me? You?

01:26:26No way!

01:26:30I'm not worthy enough!

01:26:33I'm your uncle, Jude!

01:26:34I'm your aunt!

01:26:35I'm your grandfather! I was wrong! Come home with us!

01:26:39What are you waiting for?

01:26:41Father, let's go!

01:26:45What did you say?

01:26:46Father, let's go!

01:27:03I know.

01:27:14If I failed you...!

01:27:20I hope you can still forgive me!

01:27:26Jude! It's me, your cousin! How about I work for you? We share the same blood, you know?

01:27:32Like it or not, you're still a sterling!

01:27:36Cousin! Wait for me! I'll go with you!

01:27:53Where is it? Where's my mom's grave?

01:28:00Where is it? Where's my mom's grave?

01:28:03Shut it! She was just your aunt! I'm your real mother!

01:28:07She raised me since childhood, as if I was her own!

01:28:11Besides, in my heart, she's always been my mom!

01:28:13If only I could do something, I would let Grandpa kick her out! You dragged me into this!

01:28:18Stop speaking nonsense! Your father orchestrated it because of the inheritance! I was only fooled by him!

01:28:23Stop lying, Dad!

01:28:24Lori was the daughter-in-law I always wanted! When she passed, I failed to mourn for her!

01:28:29Stop blaming everything on me, Dad! It deserves to be called my mom!

01:28:31Where in the world can we find her tomb? Will we ever find it?

01:28:35Our dear patriarch, Jude, won't even tell us where it is! We even came here to bow!

01:28:40But he says we're all unworthy! Unworthy or not, we must still bow in front of her grave!

01:28:46Three days with no leads! We must find her grave! I wrote 10,000 words of apology! I just want

01:28:53to say in front of her grave! That we were wrong! That we were truly blind!

01:29:09What if we never find it? What if we failed to apologize? Jude will never ever forgive me then! You've

01:29:15all ruined my life!

01:29:16Can't even find a simple grave! What are you for? My future is rotting because of you!

01:29:24Mom! Where can we find you?

01:29:26We were blind! We were arrogant fools! Don't hurt you, Lori!

01:29:30We were blind! We were arrogant fools!

01:29:34We were arrogant fools!
