Transcript

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

00:00:08speak quickly.

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

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

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

00:00:25The Sterlings only 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!

00:03:49Don't lie to me, but this is beneath me.

00:04:06Hey. 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!

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:57What?

00:05:58What is he saying?

00:06:00Well...

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

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

00:06:05Jude!

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

00:06:08A dog!

00:06:10At 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

00:06:19bound by blood so you don't have to wander out there like a stray.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:41What?

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

00:06:48What 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.

00:06:58I'm sorry, but I can't afford to lose this job.

00:07:05Indeed.

00:07:07It's late.

00:07:08Time passed by so quickly.

00:07:09Lydia?

00:07:11Take him to his room.

00:07:13Right away, sir.

00:07:14Sir, this way, please.

00:07:17Not even a bow?

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:39Hold it.

00:07:40At the Prince's upcoming banquet,

00:07:43every noble will be watching.

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

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

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

00:09:05To grasp these five principles.

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

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

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

00:09:21Ugh.

00:09:22Pearl.

00:09:23Keen as a falcon sigh.

00:09:24Fierce as a rearing stallion.

00:09:26What a masterpiece.

00:09:28Cast into the mud.

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

00:09:31His brush source.

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

00:09:35Yet, they dare to...

00:09:41Yet, they dare to...

00:09:42Mock 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, and 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, wake up.

00:10:29Look at this.

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

00:10:32Charlemagne surviving work.

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

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

00:10:38Mother, what is this?

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

00:10:42That's Carolingian minuscule.

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

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

00:10:49How dare you take this?

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

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

00:10:55No!

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

00:11:00I'm sorry.

00:11:04Benjamin, how 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 the prophecy spoke of?

00:11:28The study.

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

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

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

00:11:46Behold, 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.

00:13:01They 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 its 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 powers 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?

00:30:49I know.

00:30:50In this case, we should have missed this.

00:30:58Mr. Clay!

00:30:59Mr. Barrett!

00:31:00Mr. Turner!

00:31:01You honor me too much!

00:31:02You flatter me!

00:31:08Dad!

00:31:09What'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? 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?

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

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

00:37:04It just...

00:37:05Happened suddenly.

00:37:09How peculiar.

00:37:11Must we stand here?

00:37:12My legs are aching.

00:37:14Oh!

00:37:15Did you hear that?

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

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

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

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

00:37:23He's 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...

00:38:12Oren.

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.

00:38:36I 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, Benjamin 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 and 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!

00:39:22All right.

00:39:24If you win...

00:39:25I'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...

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.

00:41:27I'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...

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, Jude Sterling...

00:42:19Will personally bury every 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!

00:42:26You got a death wish?

00:42:28Jude!

00:42:30Heaven or hell...

00:42:31Our 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!

00:42:46If 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...

00:43:26Sky'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...

00:43:44Huh?

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 breeds 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...

00:44:24The 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...

00:44:43In my 80th birthday banquet...

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

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

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

00:44:51Love you, 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...

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

00:45:12Each stroke unfolding stories of the human soul...

00:45:15Portraying 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...

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 Solaran'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 Solaran'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...

00:45:56In 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...

00:46:05Therefore...

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...

00:46:17Five billion...

00:46:18Five 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...

00:46:24That'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...

00:46:32Truly 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...

00:46:43To 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...

00:47:00If 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...

00:47:09Who?

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 rocket to divine status...

00:47:29Let's begin!

00:47:30Announce your numbers...

00:47:31Confirm if all are present...

00:47:33House Zeller...

00:47:33All present...

00:47:34House Reeves...

00:47:35All present...

00:47:36House Spencer...

00:47:37All present...

00:47:38House Zinc...

00:47:38All present...

00:47:39House Stones...

00:47:40All present...

00:47:40House Sterling...

00:48:10All present...

00:48:11Second...

00:48:12Erudition...

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!

00:48:27Dad...

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...

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

00:48:55But not him?

00:48:59Round two!

00:49:00Erudition!

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!

00:49:41At 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...

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!

00:50:33And 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 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!

00:51:17Enough 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 Souththor!

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

00:51:32Oh no!

00:51:33Not just a couplet!

00:51:35But a birthday couplet!

00:51:36First line!

00:51:38Eagle brings blessings!

00:51:40By 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!

00:51:59These couplets are tricky!

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

00:52:02This is the starting level?

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

00:52:05He started at this difficulty!

00:52:08Why is everybody quiet?

00:52:10None of you knows?

00:52:12I 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!

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

00:52:55That is brilliant!

00:52:56That is the right answer!

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

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

00:53:08Excellent!

00:53:09He's gifted!

00:53:10He's a genius!

00:53:12Perfect couplet!

00:53:14He actually did it?

00:53:16Brilliant couplet!

00:53:17Wait, but he's only ten years old!

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

00:53:23He 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!

00:54:23Then 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!

00:54:56That'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!

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!

00:55:16As Silver Crescent cast Gentle Shimmering Glow, twice 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!

00:55:46Harvest Moon's the Sage's Prime!

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

00:55:50That's flawless!

00:55:52A perfect match!

00:55:54Hahahaha!

00:55:56Hahahaha!

00:55:59Hahahaha!

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 a genuine mind-melter!

00:56:12Do you think you can answer it this time?

00:56:17Very well!

00:56:18Let me hear it!

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

00:56:35Mr. Clay, let me hear it!

00:56:47Hahahaha!

00:56:49How about it?

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

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

00:57:00Hahahaha!

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!

00:57:06What?!

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!

00:57:38You-

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

00:57:42Now answer this one!

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

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

00:57:49Water's multiplied, creek, lake, and endless sea!

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

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

00:57:59Listen closely. Where root meets earth, it anchors. Where tip meets sky, it breaches. Woods compounded. Pine, oak, a towering

00:58:06forest.

00:58:06Oh, but what?

00:58:08Even a sage would struggle with that. You're a dictionary demon.

00:58:12That's witchcraft!

00:58:14All right, I'll be giving my last one. It's the ultimate one. If you could answer it, you will earn

00:58:19my respect.

00:58:20You mean that one? Mr. Barrett, I know that one. But 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? The one that everyone swears is unsolvable without a line to match.

00:58:37Ah, this means that their pride's been pricked. Now they'll hit him with the impossible one to answer.

00:58:43It's true. Jude answered quickly. In the blink of an eye, he's embarrassing all those older scholars.

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

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

00:58:56I have no idea that if they all call it unsolvable, then it's no child's riddle.

00:59:04I know that couplet. If you can crack it, I promise to call you my master.

00:59:10I'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? Let's say I solve your unsolvable couplet today. Does that seal my victory in this

00:59:21battle of wit?

00:59:22You've already won this battle. Whether you can solve this line or not, the brilliance of your intellect has proven

00:59:29no equal in this world.

00:59:30I have no objections. You've definitely earned the title fair and square.

00:59:35Very well. You may choose not to answer this one, as this problem remains unsolved for ages.

00:59:43Since you put it that way, now I'm curious. What is this unsolvable riddle of yours?

00:59:50Listen well. Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake lichen.

00:59:54What does it mean?

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

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

01:00:01Not so hard, right?

01:00:03Hmm. Interesting. I'll need a moment.

01:00:06I got it. I know the answer.

01:00:09What?

01:00:10You?

01:00:13You?

01:00:14Keith, be quiet. This challenge is beyond you.

01:00:17Dad, must you question me? This 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 own 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.

01:00:31All right. Let's hear it then.

01:00:33Lotus leaf, lilac, lilac, lake lichen. It 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, granite glance, glowing springs.

01:00:48Mr. Wilkins, that doesn't pair. Just what the hell is that?

01:00:51Yeah.

01:00:52How is it not fitting? Mr. Reeves, don't you know versus?

01:00:55Shut it. Guards, remove this simpleton out of here.

01:01:00Throw him out.

01:01:01Mr. Barrett, green hills to lotus leaf, the 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.

01:01:12What do 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, lake lichen.

01:01:21Think 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, an 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.

01:01:46All 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, well, lake lichen, all starts with L.

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

01:01:57Exactly.

01:01:58Oh god, how did I miss that?

01:02:01Guards, remove this jester from this hall now.

01:02:05I'm sorry, I'm begging you.

01:02:07I am ready to answer.

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.

01:02:25He got it!

01:02:26A true marvel!

01:02:27The insolvable line, he 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?

01:02:52Five?

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're just wildly.

01:03:01How dare you?

01:03:02What five?

01:03:05Lotus leaf, lilac lilt, lake lichen.

01:03:07The first answer that I gave you is roast root, reed rush, red rose hip.

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

01:03:18That fits!

01:03:19He's right!

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

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

01:03:32There's no way!

01:03:33And lastly, the fifth.

01:03:36Brookbend, Bayou Branch, Blue Brine.

01:03:39Ooh!

01:03:39That's unbelievable!

01:03:41Five answers!

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

01:03:43What about it?

01:03:45Please take me!

01:03:47I want to learn from you!

01:03:49You want to 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 want to learn from me?

01:04:03Right now, you still don'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, we're looking at a true legend!

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

01:04:35Maybe even 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 don't have the qualities that he requires!

01:04:47What?

01:04:48Stand up!

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

01:04:52Lunamount?

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

01:04:56According to legends!

01:04:58Even the Emperor must train with them!

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

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

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

01:05:12No way!

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

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

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

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

01:05:25They are mystics?

01:05:27They actually exist?

01:05:28They are in this world?

01:05:29Goodness me!

01:05:31Open your eyes!

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:05:49This is it!

01:05:50This is your golden chance!

01:05:51Dad!

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

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

01:05:56Even if you become their floor scrubber!

01:05:58A servant?

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

01:06:05What?

01:06:09What?

01:06:10Lunamount?

01:06:11From how they are acting?

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

01:06:15Huh!

01:06:16How intriguing!

01:06:28Hello, Hank!

01:06:29Andy!

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

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

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

01:06:35Prince Southor 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...

01:06:42Devouring 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 I asked you to come here to 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!

01:07:08Yes!

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?

01:07:43The world believes that I'm close to achieving it, yet it is a realm beyond the ordinary mortals.

01:07:51Only myths talk about it, but other than those myths, nobody else mentions it.

01:07:56Pentaforce's dominion?

01:07:58Pentaforce's dominion?

01:07:58A realm of extraordinary ability, but for me...

01:08:01I 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.

01:08:28Then 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.

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

01:08:54Very well.

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

01:08:57Hmph!

01:08:58Ten?

01:08:59Really?

01:09:00That's impossible.

01:09:01Nobody does that.

01:09:02Yeah.

01:09:04Chester, you're suggesting...

01:09:06Write the immortal creed.

01:09:08For heaven establish virtue, for mortals secure purposes.

01:09:13For ancestors revive wisdom, for 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, I can't do it.

01:09:46I'm out.

01:09:47However, I refuse to believe he can do it.

01:09:49Nor do I.

01:09:50I also yield.

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

01:09:53Master, I yield already.

01:09:55I don't know ten, let 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.

01:10:09Yes, exactly.

01:10:10This trial is completely meaningless.

01:10:12And now, you want us to write the sacred text in ten different styles?

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

01:10:24Unless...

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.

01:11:01The 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, this 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.

01:11:32The italic script.

01:11:33The 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.

01:11:40The italic script.

01:11:46Onchel 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.

01:27:32Like 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!

01:28:16You dragged me into this!

01:28:18Stop speaking nonsense!

01:28:19Your father orchestrated it because of the inheritance!

01:28:21I was only fooled by him!

01:28:23Stop lying, Dad!

01:28:27When she passed, I failed to mourn for her!

01:28:29Stop blaming everything on me, Dad!

01:28:29It deserves to be called my mom!

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

01:28:34Will we ever find it?

01:28:35Our dear patriarch, Jude, won't even tell us where it is!

01:28:38We even came here to bow!

01:28:40But he says we're all unworthy!

01:28:43Unworthy or not, we must still bow in front of her grave!

01:28:46Three days with no leaves!

01:28:48We must find her grave!

01:28:50I wrote 10,000 words of apology!

01:28:52I just want to say in front of her grave!

01:28:54That we were wrong!

01:28:56That we were truly blind!

01:29:09What if we never find it?

01:29:10What if we failed to apologize?

01:29:13Jude will never ever forgive me then!

01:29:15You've all ruined my life!

01:29:17Can't even find a simple grave!

01:29:18What are you for?

01:29:19My future is rotting because of you!

01:29:23Mom!
