They Thought I Was Dumb — I'm Not Even Human S
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 era 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 Rain.
00:00:33When my mom died last year, you didn't even flinch. And so because of that, I'm done with this family,
00:00:39and done 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 I'm 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
00:01:16the hand-waving? I don't understand it.
00:01:18Why the hell are you staring at me?
00:01:20You have no idea who you're dealing with.
00:01:25I've slaughtered vermants like you in another life.
00:01:34I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't mean it. That was a joke. Your grandpa's right there, and everyone's been
00:01:40expecting you.
00:01:40Everyone in this world only sees me as the pathetic, mute outcast of the Sterling's. If only they knew I'm
00:01:46not one of them.
00:01:47My soul's from another realm. I was Friar Auron. The rivers ran red where I walked. That's why they called
00:01:54me Hollow 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!
00:02:07I 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.
00:02:17Come.
00:02:22Allow me to show it to you properly.
00:02:33By the grace of his holy light,
00:02:35the javelins were parasites leeching off the villagers down the mountain.
00:02:39Only by purging your whole family can suffer and be entered.
00:02:42You'll never comprehend this truth.
00:02:44By the grace of his holy light,
00:02:47mortals can never see.
00:02:49This is the path of solitude.
00:02:52If no divine hand guides me,
00:02:54then I shall guide myself.
00:03:07From this day forward,
00:03:09as long as I cultivate in silence for eight years,
00:03:12I'll reclaim my power from my past life.
00:03:15Jude, he's your grandfather.
00:03:17He's your grandfather. Say hi to grandpa.
00:03:20He's born deaf and mute.
00:03:22Our Jude is the sterling heir.
00:03:25But a defective heir is unworthy of the legacy of our name.
00:03:31Start driving.
00:03:37But even in her death,
00:03:39mom told me to come back.
00:03:41But this is beneath me.
00:03:42Yet here I stand.
00:03:44This time,
00:03:45I'm here to make things right.
00:03:47You will grovel before her tomb.
00:03:49Mark my words!
00:04:05Hey!
00:04:07Did you walk here from the village?
00:04:08Huh?
00:04:10Grandpa's been sitting here.
00:04:11You've been keeping him waiting.
00:04:14Cousin Sean,
00:04:15are you worried that I'll take your inheritance?
00:04:17I wonder what god you all worked up.
00:04:18Jude Sterling?
00:04:20How have you been all these years?
00:04:22Save your breath, Grandpa.
00:04:23You don't have to ask him anything.
00:04:25Why 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?
00:04:37Grand South Horse Banquet is the day after tomorrow.
00:04:40If any disagreement between him and us
00:04:43becomes even slightly visible,
00:04:45it will tarnish the dignity of our entire family.
00:04:47How can you be so dense?
00:04:50It's obvious that you're not thinking.
00:04:51But I...
00:04:52Nah, that's okay.
00:04:54Please hold your temper.
00:05:00You know, Jude,
00:05:01in all honesty,
00:05:03we'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
00:05:12and 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,
00:05:28you will be living here with us.
00:05:30He can't live here!
00:05:31But Dad!
00:05:32Sterling can't be broken!
00:05:34Jude,
00:05:35kneel and show your gratitude.
00:05:38Wait,
00:05:39there's no need for that.
00:05:40It is, after all,
00:05:41the right thing to do.
00:05:50All these years,
00:05:51you kept me like a dog,
00:05:53and yet you have the nerve to call this mercy?
00:05:57What?
00:05:58What is he saying?
00:06:01Well...
00:06:01What does he mean by that?
00:06:03You kept me like a dog all these years.
00:06:05Jude!
00:06:06How dare you speak like that!
00:06:08A dog!
00:06:09At least he knows his place.
00:06:12Plus you twist every single thing so viciously,
00:06:15the only reason why I'm even offering you a place
00:06:17is because you're my grandson
00:06:19and we're bound by blood
00:06:20so 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.
00:06:28It's my mercy
00:06:29to let you kneel.
00:06:31I didn't come back here
00:06:32to join your family.
00:06:33I'm here to get justice for my mother.
00:06:36Every last Sterling
00:06:37should grovel before my mom's tomb.
00:06:41What?
00:06:42What did he just say to me?
00:06:44Ugh.
00:06:49What did he just say to me?
00:06:52What does he mean by that?
00:06:55He's telling us that it's already late
00:06:57and he wishes to rest.
00:06:59I'm sorry,
00:07:00but I can't afford to lose this job.
00:07:06I can't afford to lose this job.
00:07:07It's late.
00:07:08Time passed by so quickly.
00:07:10Lydia?
00:07:11Take him to his room.
00:07:13Right away, sir.
00:07:14Sir, this way, please.
00:07:17Not even a bow?
00:07:19Did the countryside erase
00:07:20every bit of your manners as well?
00:07:24You're in no position
00:07:25to tell me that.
00:07:30Ah.
00:07:31He...
00:07:31He says he'll remember
00:07:32to bow next time.
00:07:34My silent cultivation
00:07:35will end in two days.
00:07:37Otherwise,
00:07:38I've cursed you to hell.
00:07:39Hold it.
00:07:40At the princess'
00:07:41upcoming banquet,
00:07:43every noble will be watching.
00:07:45Prince Althor values
00:07:46cultural refinement
00:07:47above everything else.
00:07:49Also,
00:07:49if I'm not mistaken,
00:07:52the banquet will include
00:07:53a literary duel
00:07:54among the noble heirs.
00:07:56Grandpa,
00:07:57why are you wasting
00:07:58your breath on a peasant?
00:07:59Does he even know
00:08:00the classical virtues
00:08:01or the way scholars duel?
00:08:03Keep your mouth shut.
00:08:06I am well aware
00:08:07that you were raised
00:08:09without any sense
00:08:09of culture or education.
00:08:11That is why
00:08:11a tutor will begin
00:08:13instructing you
00:08:14in calligraphy
00:08:15and classic studies
00:08:16starting tomorrow morning.
00:08:18If fortune favors you,
00:08:20the banquet guests
00:08:21will go easy on you.
00:08:22I wonder if
00:08:23the art of carving spells
00:08:24into the flesh
00:08:25of your enemies
00:08:26might somehow
00:08:27be counted as calligraphy.
00:08:29Did you hear what I said?
00:08:30Tomorrow,
00:08:31your lessons will begin.
00:08:32I expect you
00:08:33to study hard.
00:08:34Don't humiliate us.
00:08:39What's he up to?
00:08:40Huh?
00:08:40He knows calligraphy?
00:08:41That's impossible.
00:08:43But he's mute.
00:08:44He only went to
00:08:45some charity school.
00:08:46He had no proper education.
00:08:50These are the five principles.
00:08:52Raise,
00:08:53press,
00:08:54cook,
00:08:55support,
00:08:55and resist.
00:08:56Fingers firm.
00:08:57Your palm
00:08:58must remain hollow.
00:08:59Your wrist
00:09:00must be level as water.
00:09:01And the brush
00:09:02straight as a ruler.
00:09:03Do you understand?
00:09:04It will take you a lifetime
00:09:06to grasp these five principles.
00:09:08So this is how
00:09:08the five principles
00:09:09my mother taught
00:09:10may actually work.
00:09:11This requires
00:09:12decades of dedicated practice.
00:09:15And yet,
00:09:16he's only
00:09:17ten years old.
00:09:21Uh,
00:09:23Pearl.
00:09:23Keen as a falcon's eye.
00:09:25Fears 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.
00:09:33Hitting the paper
00:09:34like a warhorse.
00:09:36Yet,
00:09:36they dare to
00:09:41mock its radiance.
00:09:52A pearl
00:09:53cast into the mud.
00:09:55Yet,
00:09:55they dare
00:09:56to mock its radiance.
00:09:59Why does this handwriting
00:10:00look so familiar to me?
00:10:01He's basically
00:10:02calling us ignorant.
00:10:03He's implying
00:10:04he's the pearl
00:10:05and we're ignorant
00:10:06to not see his true worth.
00:10:08Absolutely ridiculous.
00:10:10What an arrogant kid.
00:10:12Go home
00:10:13and dressed
00:10:14as you wish.
00:10:20This writing
00:10:21feels so familiar.
00:10:24Where have I
00:10:25seen this before?
00:10:27Benjamin,
00:10:28wake up.
00:10:29Look at this.
00:10:30This one
00:10:30is the prince's
00:10:31treasured fragment.
00:10:33Charlemagne surviving work.
00:10:34He only gave us
00:10:35three days.
00:10:36Observe it carefully
00:10:36or our relatives
00:10:38will take it.
00:10:39Mother,
00:10:39what is this?
00:10:40I've never seen this before.
00:10:42That's
00:10:42Carolingian minuscule.
00:10:44It's created
00:10:44thanks to Emperor Charlemagne.
00:10:46It means
00:10:47clear and graceful
00:10:48and it's...
00:10:49How dare you
00:10:50take this?
00:10:51The prince's treasure
00:10:52is far above your station.
00:10:53It is not for you to see.
00:10:55No!
00:10:56Someone as wretched
00:10:58as you
00:10:58shouldn't even
00:10:59aspire to that.
00:11:00I'm sorry.
00:11:05Benjamin,
00:11:06how much
00:11:07did you memorize?
00:11:12Carolingian minuscule.
00:11:14But that kid
00:11:15is only
00:11:16ten years old.
00:11:17Could it be
00:11:18that he is
00:11:18the prodigy
00:11:19the prophecy
00:11:20spoke of?
00:11:28The study.
00:11:29They managed
00:11:30to make it
00:11:31look almost respectable.
00:11:36Allow me
00:11:37to educate you
00:11:38on the proper
00:11:38ways to handle
00:11:39scholarly tools.
00:11:41This exquisite
00:11:42mahogany desk
00:11:43cost no less
00:11:44than a million
00:11:44and was crafted
00:11:45by the best hands.
00:11:47Behold,
00:11:48our severus inkstand,
00:11:49swan feather quills,
00:11:51and Flemish parchment.
00:11:52Just so you know,
00:11:54these few treasures
00:11:55alone
00:11:55prove that our
00:11:56family's impeccable
00:11:57taste
00:11:58has spanned
00:11:59generations.
00:12:00Did that amuse you?
00:12:03It's nothing
00:12:04but a fake parchment.
00:12:06What swan feather
00:12:07is she talking about?
00:12:08This is nothing
00:12:09but dog hair.
00:12:10These are just
00:12:11cheap bristles
00:12:12created for
00:12:12cheap men to use.
00:12:14But I'll have to admit,
00:12:15this inkstand
00:12:16is genuine.
00:12:17Two out of four
00:12:18are fakes.
00:12:19That's truly remarkable.
00:12:21Such impeccable taste.
00:12:23He can't even
00:12:24name these treasures.
00:12:25What a savage.
00:12:28Sir,
00:12:29let's pray
00:12:30that your brain
00:12:31survives your
00:12:32tutoring tomorrow.
00:12:33It would be
00:12:34unwise to waste
00:12:35your grandpa's
00:12:36generosity.
00:12:37Also,
00:12:38as for the tutor
00:12:39that they hired
00:12:39for you,
00:12:40he is one
00:12:42of the great minds.
00:12:43Be sure not
00:12:44to waste it.
00:12:45And remember
00:12:46to treasure
00:12:47this opportunity
00:12:48tomorrow.
00:12:55The sterling
00:12:56household
00:12:56is full
00:12:57of illiterate
00:12:58masters
00:12:58and bowing,
00:13:00groveling servants.
00:13:01They boast
00:13:01of noble heritage
00:13:02and impeccable taste.
00:13:07You've got to be
00:13:08kidding me.
00:13:09Had I not been
00:13:10bound by my oath,
00:13:11a solemn vow
00:13:13of silence,
00:13:13I would have
00:13:15slayed them alive
00:13:15with my words.
00:13:19Mrs. Wilkins,
00:13:21is he
00:13:21asleep now?
00:13:22What's wrong?
00:13:23He suddenly
00:13:24slapped me
00:13:24right after I
00:13:25showed him
00:13:25the way
00:13:26to the main
00:13:26hall.
00:13:27Please stand up
00:13:28for me,
00:13:28Mrs. Wilkins.
00:13:29That mute
00:13:29brat attacked me.
00:13:30What?
00:13:31How dare he?
00:13:32Don't worry.
00:13:33I'll inform
00:13:34Mr. Sterling.
00:13:35Thank you,
00:13:35Mrs. Wilkins.
00:13:36He's nothing
00:13:37but a lowly
00:13:38mutt from the fields
00:13:39and he dares
00:13:40to strike
00:13:40those above him.
00:13:41Just wait.
00:13:42We'll see
00:13:43what'll happen
00:13:43until Mr. Clay
00:13:44tutors him tomorrow.
00:13:46He'll surely
00:13:47beg for mercy.
00:13:49Mr. Clay?
00:13:50Are you talking
00:13:51about Mr. Henry Clay
00:13:52who used to mentor
00:13:53Master Sean?
00:13:54Yes,
00:13:54that was him.
00:13:55His temper
00:13:56is legendary
00:13:57and wow,
00:13:58he's in it
00:13:58for tomorrow.
00:13:59I've never met
00:14:00Mr. Clay myself.
00:14:01He's the literary
00:14:02titan of Solorane.
00:14:07Eight long years
00:14:08of total silence
00:14:09to strip away
00:14:10the layers
00:14:11of mortal vanity
00:14:12to see the world
00:14:14as it truly is
00:14:15and touch
00:14:16the cosmic truth
00:14:17one more day
00:14:18and I'll finally
00:14:19achieve the great
00:14:20perfection.
00:14:21Eight long years
00:14:22of total silence.
00:14:24This is killing me.
00:14:29There's something
00:14:30divine in the air
00:14:31and it is definitely
00:14:33coming somewhere near.
00:14:34I can feel
00:14:35that hunger
00:14:37like a black hole.
00:14:38His cultivation
00:14:39is draining
00:14:40every ounce of life
00:14:41from the whole
00:14:41surrounding region.
00:14:42I was fortunate
00:14:44to withdraw
00:14:44my energy in time
00:14:45or the devouring
00:14:47force would have
00:14:47claimed me.
00:14:49Your highness.
00:14:50Mr. Jensen
00:14:51in the council chamber.
00:14:52This cannot wait.
00:14:54Your highness,
00:14:55there's been a disaster.
00:14:56Mr. Jensen
00:14:57collapsed in seclusion.
00:14:58He coughed up blood
00:14:59and was badly hurt.
00:15:00He did what?
00:15:02A madman.
00:15:03He has risen
00:15:04in Dawnshire.
00:15:05The land's very essence
00:15:07is being sucked dry
00:15:08by his immense power.
00:15:14His power surpasses
00:15:15mortal limits.
00:15:16Teetering or demonic?
00:15:18How is it possible
00:15:19that such might
00:15:20still walks the earth
00:15:21in our era?
00:15:26I've never come
00:15:27this close
00:15:27to a being
00:15:28of such overwhelming
00:15:29power.
00:15:30I wonder
00:15:30if I can be
00:15:31ever truly
00:15:32worthy enough
00:15:33to witness him
00:15:34fully unveiled
00:15:34in all his glory.
00:15:36Toward the Sterlings?
00:15:38What kind of being?
00:15:40What kind of power
00:15:41could devour
00:15:41the energy
00:15:42of an entire city
00:15:43with such force?
00:15:44It's heading
00:15:45towards the Sterlings?
00:15:47Unbelievable.
00:15:48How could they
00:15:48possibly be connected
00:15:49to that existence?
00:15:51I am less than
00:15:52a mere worm
00:15:53when standing
00:15:53before such overwhelming
00:15:54power.
00:15:55I won't even think
00:15:56of seeking him out.
00:15:57Not with power
00:15:58such as his.
00:16:00A dukedom
00:16:01would be a mere trifle,
00:16:02a petty price to pay.
00:16:04If it means
00:16:05I could stand
00:16:06beside true power.
00:16:11I am almost there.
00:16:13Soon enough,
00:16:14my old power
00:16:15will ignite.
00:16:27This boy is
00:16:28plain looking
00:16:28and beaut.
00:16:29I'm Henry.
00:16:30You're Jude Sterling?
00:16:31Your family
00:16:32paid a fortune
00:16:33to have me
00:16:34educate you.
00:16:36Or rather,
00:16:37to teach you
00:16:38the alphabet.
00:16:40If he were
00:16:41inborn as Sterling,
00:16:42he'd never get
00:16:43to encounter
00:16:44a literary genius
00:16:45like me.
00:16:46And yet,
00:16:46he has the audacity
00:16:47to look displaced.
00:16:48Unbelievable!
00:16:51Can you even
00:16:52memorize just one
00:16:53of these books
00:16:54in a single day?
00:16:55Even as a bond
00:16:56would fail.
00:16:57Here are seven books.
00:16:58Choose one.
00:16:59I will drill you
00:17:00for 15 hours
00:17:01without rest.
00:17:02By the end,
00:17:03you will have
00:17:03fully comprehended
00:17:04at least one
00:17:05entire volume.
00:17:06These are just
00:17:07children's primers.
00:17:08And this is
00:17:09the profound
00:17:09heritage they
00:17:10boast about?
00:17:11Hilarious.
00:17:12I'm well aware
00:17:13that you're
00:17:13a slow learner.
00:17:14And yes,
00:17:15these texts
00:17:16are far beyond
00:17:17your comprehension.
00:17:19But then...
00:17:21Enough with your charades.
00:17:22Hurry!
00:17:23Pick one of these books
00:17:24in front of you!
00:17:29The alien...
00:17:35What do you mean
00:17:35by that?
00:17:42Are you saying
00:17:43that not a single one
00:17:44appeals to you at all?
00:17:46Listen, child,
00:17:47these are all...
00:17:49Don't tell me
00:17:50you actually expect
00:17:52to study them all?
00:17:53Let me tell you,
00:17:54even ants
00:17:55cannot move mountains.
00:17:56Even two days
00:17:57still won't be enough.
00:17:59Then what do you mean?
00:18:00Stop toying with me.
00:18:01I'm one of Soloraine's
00:18:02ten literary titans.
00:18:04Were it not
00:18:04for the Sterlings,
00:18:05you...
00:18:16This pressure
00:18:17and this flow...
00:18:18Is he really
00:18:19ten years old?
00:18:20How can he write this
00:18:21when it takes
00:18:22decades to master?
00:18:24I had already
00:18:25mastered all of this
00:18:26by the time
00:18:27I was three.
00:18:27Lines flow free,
00:18:28no rigid rows.
00:18:29Grace found in chaos,
00:18:30ball strokes,
00:18:31tans.
00:18:32The italic script?
00:18:33You already know that?
00:18:34Gothic script is neat,
00:18:35cursive is wild,
00:18:36but italic script?
00:18:37It's perfect balance,
00:18:39controlled yet elegant.
00:18:40To truly reach
00:18:41the mastery of this craft,
00:18:42one must first conquer
00:18:43both gothic
00:18:44and cursive styles.
00:18:46Yet somehow,
00:18:47it's fallen into the hands
00:18:49of a mew child.
00:18:52Now you choose silence.
00:18:57A backwater mute?
00:18:59A backwater mute?
00:18:59Possessing 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
00:19:06expect me to believe
00:19:07that you mastered
00:19:08all of these three?
00:19:10I find it hard to believe.
00:19:12Very well,
00:19:13let's see you prove it!
00:19:18In Plutarch's parallel lives,
00:19:20which Roman general
00:19:21boldly crossed the Rubicon
00:19:23declaring,
00:19:23the tie is cast,
00:19:25do you know that?
00:19:26Now tell me,
00:19:28against whom did he wage
00:19:29this great civil war?
00:19:34Julius Caesar.
00:19:40He waged his civil war
00:19:42against Pompey the Great.
00:19:43Once his own ally.
00:19:45And his partner?
00:19:47Crassus and Pompey.
00:19:49You've...
00:19:50You've already memorized
00:19:51parallel lives!
00:19:52I can't believe it!
00:19:53He's mastered this
00:19:54through and through.
00:19:56Finish this line
00:19:58from Cicero
00:19:58or Tempora.
00:20:00Or Moris
00:20:00from Catilinarians.
00:20:02Denouncing Catelyn's conspiracy,
00:20:04which speech was it?
00:20:05The first Catilinarian.
00:20:06He breathes the classics.
00:20:09Fortune favors the bold.
00:20:11Whose famous words are these?
00:20:12Write it down.
00:20:14Virgil's Aeneid.
00:20:15Dulce at the Choral Mass.
00:20:17To die for one's country.
00:20:18Pro patria mori.
00:20:20How about the art of living
00:20:22is more like...
00:20:23The wrestlers
00:20:24than the dancers.
00:20:25This boy's a real prodigy.
00:20:27Who first refused to fight
00:20:28in the Iliad?
00:20:30Achilles,
00:20:31the greatest warrior.
00:20:33He chose pride over war.
00:20:36Who leads Aeneas
00:20:38through the Elderworld?
00:20:40The Sibyl
00:20:41of Cule.
00:20:46What you've done
00:20:47goes well beyond
00:20:48the limits of the syllabus.
00:20:49This is truly
00:20:51next level
00:20:51Homeric wisdom.
00:20:55I'm unworthy
00:20:56to be your teacher.
00:20:58Your wisdom and talent
00:20:59are far beyond mine.
00:21:00You mentioned earlier
00:21:01that you've memorized
00:21:02all these
00:21:03by the age of three.
00:21:04I believe that
00:21:05your brilliance
00:21:06is on another level.
00:21:08You should be the one
00:21:09teaching me.
00:21:10What three years old?
00:21:11I wasn't talking about
00:21:12this life.
00:21:12I'm talking about
00:21:13a life long ago.
00:21:17I must be off.
00:21:20I was supposed to
00:21:21scorn the whispers
00:21:22of wisdom.
00:21:23Divine wisdom
00:21:24met my eyes today.
00:21:25Jude Sterling,
00:21:27after tomorrow,
00:21:28your name will echo
00:21:29across the entire city.
00:21:31You absolutely
00:21:31have to attend
00:21:32the Prince's Feast
00:21:34tomorrow.
00:21:34His name will echo
00:21:35across the city?
00:21:37That means
00:21:38tomorrow at the banquet
00:21:40that will be
00:21:41his defining moment.
00:21:49The italic script!
00:21:51This was the piece
00:21:53he wrote,
00:21:53even as italic writing
00:21:55seems to dance on paper.
00:21:56His skills are
00:21:57otherworldly,
00:21:59crowned with confidence.
00:22:00I'm finding it hard
00:22:01to believe that he's
00:22:02ever been mute.
00:22:04Hello, sir.
00:22:06Frame this,
00:22:07just like the one
00:22:08from last night.
00:22:09Use a gold frame.
00:22:10Place it in the study.
00:22:13This writing floats
00:22:14gracefully,
00:22:15yet cuts really deep.
00:22:16Sir,
00:22:17such mastery
00:22:18takes decades
00:22:18to achieve.
00:22:19Who could possibly
00:22:20create such artistry?
00:22:38Dad,
00:22:39Jude won't be able
00:22:40to learn in time.
00:22:41Even Mr. Clay
00:22:41gave up while
00:22:42trying to teach him
00:22:43this morning.
00:22:44That's true, Dad.
00:22:45Mr. Clay refused
00:22:46to instruct him.
00:22:47The servants reported
00:22:47to me that they saw
00:22:48the tutor left Jude's
00:22:49study by noon.
00:22:51Dad,
00:22:52how about
00:22:53we don't let him
00:22:54attend tomorrow?
00:22:55He's going to make
00:22:56fools out of us
00:22:57in front of everyone.
00:22:58This is settled.
00:22:59Enough with that topic
00:23:00because the child
00:23:01will have to be there.
00:23:07The wind has howling
00:23:08strangely.
00:23:08That's true.
00:23:09Let me close the door.
00:23:27That recluse again.
00:23:29He resumes
00:23:30his cultivation.
00:23:32I don't know why,
00:23:33but I've been
00:23:35getting this feeling.
00:23:36What is it?
00:23:37I can sense that.
00:23:39Our meeting
00:23:40with a powerful being
00:23:42is drawing near.
00:23:43Are you sure?
00:23:45So Jensen
00:23:46has finally won
00:23:47their approval.
00:23:48What about me?
00:23:50Where does that
00:23:51leave me?
00:23:58Soon.
00:23:59Almost there.
00:24:08Done at last.
00:24:13Trinity ground.
00:24:15My breakthrough's done.
00:24:16I've transcended.
00:24:17Trinity convergence
00:24:18achieved at H10.
00:24:19I've matched my past life's peak.
00:24:21I've read the celestial signs
00:24:23that the hollow fire of legend
00:24:24has returned.
00:24:33By the grace
00:24:34of his holy light.
00:24:37What's taking him so long?
00:24:38Where is he?
00:24:39Grandpa,
00:24:40this feast is of the
00:24:41highest importance.
00:24:42Must we really be held up
00:24:43by that mute?
00:24:44Exactly.
00:24:45Nothing will change
00:24:45even if he won't go
00:24:46with us today.
00:24:47She's right, Dad.
00:24:48The other nobles
00:24:48will mock us
00:24:49if we parade a mute
00:24:50in front of everyone.
00:24:51Besides,
00:24:52he's been raised
00:24:52in the countryside.
00:24:53He lacks all cultured grace.
00:24:55Nobles always judge first
00:24:56by one's refinement
00:24:57and wit.
00:24:58He goes.
00:24:59And that's final.
00:25:00But,
00:25:00Grandpa,
00:25:01in just one day,
00:25:02this extraordinary talent
00:25:04has shattered
00:25:04my expectations.
00:25:06I was a fool
00:25:06to scorn the
00:25:07whispers of wisdom.
00:25:08Divine wisdom
00:25:09met my eyes today.
00:25:10You absolutely
00:25:11have to attend
00:25:12the Prince's Feast
00:25:13tomorrow.
00:25:15This time,
00:25:16perhaps Jude
00:25:17may astonish
00:25:18all the noble guests,
00:25:19the entire Sterling Clan
00:25:21and even the Prince.
00:25:23Move it, sir.
00:25:25Hurry!
00:25:26Why do you walk
00:25:26so slowly?
00:25:29Hurry, Jude!
00:25:37Alright.
00:25:38Everyone's here.
00:25:39Let's go
00:25:40to the Princess Manor.
00:25:47Sean,
00:25:48all literary elites
00:25:49will attend
00:25:50the Prince's birthday today.
00:25:51Ten years of effort
00:25:52has led you to this moment.
00:25:53It's been far too long.
00:25:55It has finally come.
00:25:56All noble houses
00:25:57will assemble.
00:25:58I expect you
00:25:58to completely stun
00:25:59every single one of them
00:26:00in the scholarly duel.
00:26:02Besides,
00:26:03Mr. Clay
00:26:03is your former mentor.
00:26:04I'm very sure
00:26:05that he will back you up
00:26:06during the duel.
00:26:07Your success in that duel
00:26:08will shine like
00:26:09a favorable light
00:26:10on Mr. Clay
00:26:11in front of the royalty.
00:26:15Jude,
00:26:16today's feast
00:26:17is merely a ceremony.
00:26:19What matters the most
00:26:20is the intellectual contest
00:26:21they will be holding.
00:26:22As I have predicted,
00:26:24your cousin Sean
00:26:25will try to stun everyone.
00:26:27Ten years of effort
00:26:27has led you to this moment.
00:26:29You see,
00:26:30when your father retires,
00:26:31your cousin Sean
00:26:32will be the head
00:26:33of the Sterling family.
00:26:34But you are still
00:26:35the Sterling heir's parent.
00:26:37Your uncle fears
00:26:38your claim.
00:26:38Once Sean gets the position,
00:26:40he'll exile you for sure.
00:26:42Unless,
00:26:43the prince acknowledges you.
00:26:45However,
00:26:46that won't happen.
00:26:47I can't bear the thought
00:26:48of seeing you.
00:26:49Be exiled once more, Jude.
00:26:51For many years,
00:26:53I've prepared for this moment.
00:26:56Just heed me this once.
00:26:58Starting now,
00:26:59humble yourself.
00:27:00Trail Sean like a servant
00:27:02and remember your place.
00:27:04Today,
00:27:04he'll be meeting
00:27:05literary giants.
00:27:06Perhaps you'll even have
00:27:07an audience with
00:27:08the prince today.
00:27:09Stick close to him,
00:27:10you'll at least
00:27:11get recognized.
00:27:13What's with that smirk?
00:27:18I, Jude Sterling,
00:27:19will bow to no man.
00:27:21Must you always defy me?
00:27:24I, Jude Sterling,
00:27:26will bow to no man.
00:27:28You can speak now!
00:27:31You're not a mute!
00:27:33Indeed,
00:27:33I never was.
00:27:42What do you want from us?
00:27:47Oh well.
00:27:48You'll know soon enough.
00:28:04Mr. Reeves,
00:28:05thank you for coming.
00:28:06And this must be...
00:28:08He's the literary comment,
00:28:09Philip Reeves.
00:28:11Everyone speaks of you,
00:28:12a true prodigy in literature
00:28:13since your teens.
00:28:14This way, please.
00:28:17So what you're saying is,
00:28:19the Sterling's heir,
00:28:20a mute kid,
00:28:21wields diverse script styles,
00:28:22and by ten has already
00:28:23mastered all the classical
00:28:25works and even outdone you?
00:28:26Huh, that's impossible.
00:28:29Ten years old?
00:28:30He couldn't have mastered that
00:28:32unless he started studying
00:28:34while still in the womb.
00:28:36Or this hearsay.
00:28:38I'd dismiss it.
00:28:40Honestly,
00:28:41it's a shame
00:28:42that the child
00:28:43cannot speak.
00:28:44From the Dawnshire Reeves,
00:28:46their lord and rising star,
00:28:47Philip Reeves,
00:28:48here to offer
00:28:49their eternal blessings.
00:28:50Philip Reeves?
00:28:51That reclusive prodigy
00:28:52graces us.
00:28:53He may soon stand
00:28:54among Solorin's
00:28:55literary masters.
00:28:57Ah,
00:28:57my brilliant student at last.
00:28:59Master,
00:29:00I hope you are well.
00:29:06And respects to Mr. Clay
00:29:08and Mr. Turner.
00:29:09He is a true gentleman indeed.
00:29:11Bearing of a classical scholar.
00:29:14The House of Sterling
00:29:15has arrived.
00:29:16Coming to wish
00:29:17the Prince
00:29:18enduring prosperity
00:29:19and honor.
00:29:20They're finally here.
00:29:21Come, let's go.
00:29:22Let's go greet
00:29:23the Sterling family together.
00:29:24I'll be the one
00:29:25to judge myself
00:29:26what sort of prodigy
00:29:27he truly is.
00:29:28What's so special
00:29:29about the Sterlings?
00:29:29Why would the great
00:29:30scholars greet them?
00:29:32Surely they're not
00:29:33going there to greet
00:29:33that Sean Sterling.
00:29:34He's a complete imbecile.
00:29:36I wonder who.
00:29:37They have no one else
00:29:38but Sean.
00:29:38And he's totally useless.
00:29:40Mr. Sterling,
00:29:41it's been too long.
00:29:42Finally.
00:29:43Yesterday was just a warm-up.
00:29:45Yet his brilliance
00:29:46was clear
00:29:46even in that brief moment.
00:29:48Today on the grand stage,
00:29:50he will awe the Solorin
00:29:51with this divine presence.
00:29:53I told you, Jude,
00:29:54your name will carry
00:29:55like a mighty roar
00:29:56throughout of Solorin.
00:29:58So what if you're mute?
00:30:00Where's Anthony?
00:30:00What's taking so long?
00:30:02No idea.
00:30:03No matter.
00:30:03Let's go in.
00:30:05Hi.
00:30:08My reputation
00:30:09truly carries this much weight now.
00:30:11The three literary giants
00:30:13together with these
00:30:14powerful high lords,
00:30:15they're all here
00:30:15just for me.
00:30:16I raised a great son.
00:30:18Only the princess
00:30:19yet to arrive.
00:30:22Sir Jensen.
00:30:24I have this
00:30:25strange feeling.
00:30:27Me too,
00:30:27your highness.
00:30:29Peace.
00:30:30Getting close.
00:30:31I can sense it.
00:30:33That powerful presence
00:30:34is nearing.
00:30:35It's getting closer
00:30:36by the second.
00:30:38Prince Southar,
00:30:39Mr. Jensen.
00:30:39Where is everyone?
00:30:40The Sterlings are here.
00:30:42Mr. Clay
00:30:42and the other masters
00:30:43went to welcome them.
00:30:44Even the others
00:30:45have followed.
00:30:45The Sterlings?
00:30:50In that case,
00:30:51we shouldn't miss this.
00:30:58Mr. Clay,
00:31:00Mr. Barrett,
00:31:00Mr. Turner,
00:31:01you honor me too much.
00:31:02You flatter me.
00:31:08What's going on?
00:31:09I had no idea.
00:31:13There he is.
00:31:19That's Jude Sterling.
00:31:20He has the dignity
00:31:21of a true gentleman.
00:31:26It's rare for a kid
00:31:27in these times.
00:31:29But wait,
00:31:30who is Jude?
00:31:31Who is he?
00:31:31They say they cast him
00:31:32out as a child.
00:31:34But that brat
00:31:35has never spoken a word.
00:31:37Sam.
00:31:37Is Sterling new here?
00:31:39Jude Sterling's here?
00:31:40They're all gathered
00:31:41here for Jude.
00:31:43We've been waiting
00:31:44for you.
00:31:45Hail to Prince Souththor!
00:31:49The Prince has arrived.
00:31:50Hail to Prince Souththor!
00:31:52May your Highness reign
00:31:53with greatness
00:31:54for millennia!
00:31:55Hail to Prince Souththor!
00:31:57May your Highness reign
00:31:58with greatness
00:31:59for millennia!
00:32:01Hail to Prince Souththor!
00:32:06Hey Jude,
00:32:08on your knees!
00:32:08The Prince demands respect!
00:32:10Kneel?
00:32:11The one who should kneel
00:32:12is him!
00:32:16Jude!
00:32:17What are you doing?
00:32:18Stop it!
00:32:19On your knees!
00:32:21This is bad!
00:32:22This is treason!
00:32:23Is he trying to get us all killed?
00:32:40Are you Prince Souththor?
00:32:45Are you Prince Souththor?
00:32:48Are you Prince Souththor?
00:32:50What?
00:32:50What is he speaking?
00:32:51He's not a mute!
00:32:53The grandson!
00:32:53Wasn't he the mute one?
00:32:55How dare you!
00:32:56Get down on your knees
00:32:57for 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!
00:33:15He never holds back!
00:33:17Rise now!
00:33:17All of you!
00:33:18Thank you, Your Highness!
00:33:20Mr. Jensen and I
00:33:21heard that Mr. Clay
00:33:22brought everyone out here
00:33:24to greet you personally
00:33:25once you arrive.
00:33:26So we thought
00:33:27we had to see
00:33:28what the commotion
00:33:29is all about.
00:33:30There is no need
00:33:31for formalities.
00:33:32Frankly speaking,
00:33:33the only reason
00:33:34I came here was
00:33:35for him.
00:33:36Oh?
00:33:37And what is so special
00:33:38about this young man?
00:33:39The boy commands
00:33:40the brush
00:33:41like an immortal master.
00:33:42Every technique
00:33:43aged to perfection.
00:33:45He moves
00:33:46with grace of masters.
00:33:48A ten-year-old boy
00:33:49like an immortal?
00:33:51Mr. Clay,
00:33:52your arithmetic
00:33:52is failing you now.
00:33:55Not just that.
00:33:56He's also
00:33:57astonishingly learned
00:33:58a walking library.
00:34:00A walking library?
00:34:03Mr. Clay,
00:34:04age must have
00:34:05dulled your mind.
00:34:05Are you seriously
00:34:06claiming that a child's
00:34:08babble counts as
00:34:08philosophy now?
00:34:09Maybe next time
00:34:10you'll claim
00:34:11that he invented
00:34:11writing.
00:34:13He's gone crazy.
00:34:18Mr. Clay,
00:34:19age must have
00:34:20dulled your mind.
00:34:21I saw it
00:34:22with my own eyes.
00:34:23I warn you
00:34:23not to judge him
00:34:24by sooth.
00:34:25Of all the scholars
00:34:26I've met,
00:34:26he alone possesses
00:34:27the greatest literary
00:34:28genius like a demon.
00:34:36Mr. Clay,
00:34:36I know that you
00:34:37wish to impress
00:34:38the prince today,
00:34:39but this has gone
00:34:39from ambition
00:34:40to outright madness.
00:34:41Don't you think so,
00:34:42huh?
00:34:43Yes, master.
00:34:46Benjamin,
00:34:48Mr. Clay claims
00:34:49that your grandson
00:34:50is exceptional.
00:34:51Is this all true?
00:34:53No.
00:34:54Careful,
00:34:54your highness.
00:34:55It's clear that
00:34:55brat is putting on an act.
00:34:57Mr. Clay must have been
00:34:58tricked by him.
00:34:59John,
00:34:59shut up!
00:35:00I'm ashamed to be your teacher.
00:35:02You're blind not to see
00:35:03his brilliance.
00:35:04Master!
00:35:04Silence!
00:35:04If you had even a tenth of
00:35:06June's talent,
00:35:07you'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.
00:35:15How can he even compare
00:35:16that backwater brat
00:35:17to my son?
00:35:20All talk and no proof.
00:35:22Well then,
00:35:23let the literary duels decide.
00:35:25Since Mr. Clay speaks
00:35:26so highly of your abilities,
00:35:28why don't you fight
00:35:28for your family's honor,
00:35:30June Sterling?
00:35:33Represent the house
00:35:33of Sterling?
00:35:34What makes them worthy
00:35:35of my efforts?
00:35:37No way!
00:35:38Absolutely not!
00:35:40He'll humiliate all of us!
00:35:41I'm the genius of our house!
00:35:44The undisputed genius
00:35:45of our generation!
00:35:47I've prepared for this contest
00:35:48for many years!
00:35:49But what about him?
00:35:51A 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
00:36:04one-tenth of June's wisdom!
00:36:09Grandpa,
00:36:10but I...
00:36:10By sunset,
00:36:11you will understand.
00:36:15We'll follow
00:36:16the princess' commands.
00:36:17I, too, believe
00:36:18that Jude
00:36:19can redefine
00:36:20what genius truly means.
00:36:21He'll show everyone
00:36:22just bluffing!
00:36:23What?
00:36:24Redefine?
00:36:25Ridiculous!
00:36:25They'll just embarrass themselves!
00:36:28I haven't agreed
00:36:29to anything.
00:36:30Please, Jude,
00:36:31will you just do
00:36:32as you're cold?
00:36:38Good!
00:36:39There is just one last thing
00:36:40I 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,
00:36:58that'll be considered
00:36:59as treason!
00:37:04Hmph.
00:37:05It just
00:37:05happened suddenly.
00:37:09How peculiar.
00:37:11Must we stand here?
00:37:12My legs are aching.
00:37:15Did you hear that?
00:37:17Jude Sterling
00:37:18even lacks
00:37:18basic manners.
00:37:19Who would dare
00:37:20complain for loyalty?
00:37:21The kid has no
00:37:21manners at all.
00:37:22That's because
00:37:22he was raised
00:37:23in the village.
00:37:23He's put a new
00:37:24throne to the mountains.
00:37:25This is embarrassing.
00:37:27All right,
00:37:28that's enough.
00:37:29Everyone,
00:37:30let's head to the hall.
00:37:36Everyone,
00:37:37let's head to the hall.
00:37:44Nobody else
00:37:45has recognized it yet,
00:37:47but I recognized
00:37:48your talent
00:37:48from the moment
00:37:49we met the other night.
00:37:51We owe you
00:37:52and your mother
00:37:53for what both of you
00:37:54endured,
00:37:55but now I need
00:37:56to rely on you.
00:37:57The prince
00:37:58has kept our family
00:37:59at a distance
00:38:00for years.
00:38:01We need to regain
00:38:02his attention.
00:38:03But I'm not a Sterling.
00:38:04Why do you think
00:38:05I would help you?
00:38:06Your last name's Sterling!
00:38:07If it's about
00:38:08the name,
00:38:09then I'd be happy
00:38:10to change it now.
00:38:12Call me
00:38:12Oren.
00:38:28I am begging you.
00:38:31In one condition.
00:38:33Just name it.
00:38:34Mom and I
00:38:35suffered out there
00:38:35for so many years.
00:38:37I made it through.
00:38:38But she?
00:38:39She endured
00:38:40endless suffering
00:38:41until it killed her.
00:38:43I didn't come back
00:38:44to join your Sterling family.
00:38:45I'm here
00:38:46to demand justice
00:38:48for 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
00:38:58to your family dog,
00:39:00will go to her grave.
00:39:01and you all better
00:39:03and you all better show up.
00:39:03You'll bow
00:39:04and confess
00:39:06how blind
00:39:07and foolish
00:39:08you all were.
00:39:09What the hell
00:39:09are you saying?
00:39:10Dad,
00:39:11are you telling me
00:39:11that you were convinced
00:39:13that he actually got talent?
00:39:14Shut up,
00:39:15both 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
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
00:39:35to throw you out.
00:39:36Dad!
00:39:37Grandpa!
00:39:47I might not belong
00:39:49to this world,
00:39:50but
00:39:51from the moment
00:39:52I came here,
00:39:53I saw you as my mother.
00:39:54Seven years ago,
00:39:55they threw you out
00:39:56of the family
00:39:57just because
00:39:58they came out mute.
00:39:59Stop being lazy
00:39:59and get this mess cleaned up!
00:40:01I'm sorry, sir.
00:40:01I made extra 50 bucks today.
00:40:03You wanted
00:40:04the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, right?
00:40:05I'm still a thousand short,
00:40:06but Mama will get it.
00:40:07for you soon.
00:40:08I'll crush the Sterling family
00:40:10and I'll make sure
00:40:11that by tomorrow,
00:40:12their whole Sterling clan
00:40:14will kneel before your grave
00:40:15and 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.
00:40:31She doesn't have much time left.
00:40:33I'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 sore.
00:40:54You're just ten years old.
00:40:57Just when you needed me most.
00:40:59I...
00:41:01I...
00:41:14Mom, forgive me.
00:41:15I'm not mute.
00:41:17I'm sorry.
00:41:18I just wish you could have heard my voice.
00:41:19They want me back.
00:41:21Therefore,
00:41:22I'm going.
00:41:23They threw you out
00:41:24just 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 mourning clothes
00:41:34in front of your grave.
00:41:36I'll force them
00:41:37until they scream at themselves
00:41:38that they were fools.
00:41:40That they've wronged you.
00:41:43This is madness.
00:41:44Grandpa,
00:41:44why the hell is he taking my spot?
00:41:46This was our last shot
00:41:47to prove ourselves
00:41:48and you just handed it to him!
00:41:52Remember this day
00:41:53because of my presence?
00:41:55Today
00:41:55will become the most glorious day
00:41:57ever recorded
00:41:58in your family's history.
00:42:01So watch carefully
00:42:02and see for yourself
00:42:03how I,
00:42:05Jude Sterling,
00:42:05will elevate your status
00:42:07so far beyond anything
00:42:08you could ever imagine
00:42:09in your life.
00:42:10Jude,
00:42:11what are you saying?
00:42:12If your entire family
00:42:13failed to keep the promises
00:42:15you gave me,
00:42:16then keep your eyes wide open
00:42:17and watch.
00:42:18How I,
00:42:19Jude Sterling,
00:42:19will personally bury
00:42:21every one of you
00:42:22in the deepest,
00:42:23darkest pits of damnation.
00:42:25How 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,
00:42:32our destiny hangs in the balance.
00:42:34We'll see how a 10-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
00:42:42of damnation.
00:42:43Grandpa!
00:42:44Let's go, quickly!
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 money?
00:42:51Dad,
00:42:52you're the Sterling Patriarch!
00:42:53Since when do you bow down
00:42:54to your son's wife's grave?
00:42:56Grandpa,
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,
00:43:13suffocating terror.
00:43:14When the heavens rumbled
00:43:16and stirred last night,
00:43:17I knew that it came
00:43:18from the Sterlings,
00:43:20but I have never imagined.
00:43:22What do we do now?
00:43:23He's really here,
00:43:25but I am too scared
00:43:25to call him Skye's here.
00:43:28But what if we are both mistaken?
00:43:29The kid is still too young
00:43:31to have that power.
00:43:32Attend your feast.
00:43:34I'll be calling the Masters.
00:43:35I'll rally them here.
00:43:36I'm out of my depth.
00:43:38Let 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
00:43:47of meeting him.
00:43:47If he weren't a kid,
00:43:49I'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
00:44:14greatest literary legends
00:44:16were born and raised
00:44:17under our very skies.
00:44:19And as your Prince Southor,
00:44:20I cherish each and every
00:44:22house's cultural legacy.
00:44:24And today,
00:44:25the eight great families
00:44:26stand firmly rooted
00:44:27in long and profound traditions
00:44:29of learning and intellect.
00:44:30Every four years,
00:44:32we assemble in the
00:44:33solemn tradition
00:44:34for the Battle of Wits,
00:44:35a gathering meant
00:44:36to inspire the younger
00:44:37generations to achieve
00:44:39the highest standards
00:44:40of cultural excellence.
00:44:42Here today,
00:44:43in my 80th birthday banquet,
00:44:45Love, life,
00:44:46and boundless fortune
00:44:48to you, Prince Southor.
00:44:50May it prosper through the ages.
00:44:52Love, life, Prince Southor.
00:44:54What an honor
00:44:56to have my birthday celebration
00:44:58coincide with the
00:44:59quadrennial battle of wits.
00:45:01And today,
00:45:02we're graced by
00:45:02three literary giants.
00:45:04First to be honored
00:45:05is Henry Clay
00:45:06of the Calligraphy Society,
00:45:08a master whose brushwork
00:45:10breathes vitality into paper,
00:45:12each stroke unfolding
00:45:13stories of the human soul,
00:45:15portraying emotions
00:45:16and truths
00:45:17that span the ages.
00:45:19Next is Chester Barrett.
00:45:21At 20,
00:45:21he composed The Untrammeled,
00:45:23a work so profound
00:45:24and stirring
00:45:25that it is said
00:45:26to break hearts
00:45:27across the realms,
00:45:28leaving readers
00:45:29breathless
00:45:30with its brilliance.
00:45:31You see him?
00:45:31He's my mentor.
00:45:32And Master Miles Turner.
00:45:34By the age of 29,
00:45:36he led Solaren's letters
00:45:37and offering counsel
00:45:38to emperors themselves,
00:45:40distilling the wisdom
00:45:41of millennia
00:45:42into insights
00:45:43that shaped the realm.
00:45:44This gatherer's
00:45:44prestige is really unmatched.
00:45:46We have half of
00:45:47Solaren's intellectual elite.
00:45:48They're all here.
00:45:49To be recognized here
00:45:50would make one's reputation.
00:45:51Today,
00:45:52I will be hosting
00:45:53the Battle of Wit
00:45:54with the three masters
00:45:55as our judges.
00:45:57In the previous contests
00:45:58we held,
00:45:59we offered modest prizes
00:46:01just a billion or two.
00:46:02But today happens
00:46:03to be my birthday.
00:46:05Therefore,
00:46:05the rewards
00:46:06must match the occasion.
00:46:10Whoever wins first place
00:46:11in this intellectual duel
00:46:13gets five billion in cash.
00:46:15Five billion?
00:46:17Five 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.
00:46:25That's more liquid wealth
00:46:26than the entire family
00:46:27ever has.
00:46:28But that bastard
00:46:29stole Solshan's place.
00:46:30Now he's flaunting his wealth.
00:46:32Truly a prodigy,
00:46:34he is a ten-year-old
00:46:35with the proper composure
00:46:36of an emperor.
00:46:37And that is not all.
00:46:39Should you emerge
00:46:40victorious today,
00:46:41I will personally
00:46:42petition the throne
00:46:43to crown your house
00:46:44with the title of...
00:46:48Dawnshire's Paramount Bloodline.
00:46:51Paramount Bloodline?
00:46:52Paramount Bloodline
00:46:53by Imperial mandate!
00:46:55Total dominance
00:46:55over the Dawnshire's
00:46:56nobility!
00:46:57No Dawnshire house
00:46:57has ever claimed this title.
00:46:59I wonder who will get it
00:47:00this time.
00:47:01If you lose,
00:47:02I'll break your legs myself!
00:47:04Philip,
00:47:04you must win this duel.
00:47:06Dad,
00:47:07no one outmatches me.
00:47:09Who?
00:47:10Except,
00:47:11maybe him.
00:47:15The Paramount Bloodline?
00:47:17Isn't this the very thing
00:47:19they were desperately craving?
00:47:20Yet this honor
00:47:21forces even the noble
00:47:22to drag themselves
00:47:23through 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 Zink,
00:47:39all present.
00:47:39House Stones,
00:47:40all present.
00:47:42For the Battle of Wits,
00:47:44let the heir of every clan
00:47:45come forward.
00:47:46Keith Wilkins
00:47:47of House Wilkins.
00:47:48Philip Reeves
00:47:49of House Reeves.
00:47:50Owen Hayes
00:47:50of House Hayes.
00:47:51Ethan Spencer
00:47:52of House Spencer.
00:47:52Rowan Stone
00:47:53of House Stone.
00:47:54Morgan Zink
00:47:54of House Zink.
00:47:55Caleb Zeller
00:47:55of House Zeller.
00:47:59Jude Sterling
00:48:00of House Sterling.
00:48:03All right,
00:48:04let the battle begin
00:48:05and may each contender
00:48:07step forward.
00:48:08This battle tests
00:48:09three essential skills.
00:48:10First,
00:48:11intellect.
00:48:12Second,
00:48:13erudition.
00:48:14And third,
00:48:15calligraphy.
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.
00:48:27But that's absurd.
00:48:28Dad,
00:48:29I'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.
00:48:36Time 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.
00:48:43What?
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
00:48:54might feel right now.
00:48:56But not him?
00:48:59Round two,
00:49:01erudition.
00:49:01It is to test your memory
00:49:03as well as the depth
00:49:04of your knowledge.
00:49:05The masters will recite a classic
00:49:07and the challenge is for you
00:49:08to name its source,
00:49:10its history,
00:49:11as well as the exact page
00:49:12where it is from.
00:49:13Huh?
00:49:14I honestly thought
00:49:15the noble exams
00:49:16would be nothing more
00:49:17than child's play.
00:49:18But these are harsh rules.
00:49:20How thrilling.
00:49:21Truly.
00:49:21Hold on.
00:49:23So you're saying
00:49:24you expect us to know
00:49:25its history
00:49:25and the exact page
00:49:26where they got it from?
00:49:29Huh?
00:49:30What test is this?
00:49:32This 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
00:49:37demanding them to know
00:49:38the 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
00:49:49isn't mine today.
00:49:51Honored master.
00:49:51Doesn't this
00:49:52seem to be a bit too difficult?
00:49:58The battles in the previous years,
00:50:01they 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
00:50:11includes none other
00:50:12than Jude Sterling!
00:50:14Huh?
00:50:14Huh?
00:50:15Because of him,
00:50:16these impossible standards
00:50:17are tailored for him?
00:50:18What makes him so special?
00:50:20Can he actually do this?
00:50:21So this
00:50:21is supposed to be
00:50:22my stage?
00:50:23Is his mastery
00:50:25truly so outstanding
00:50:26just like they say?
00:50:27Round three,
00:50:29calligraphy.
00:50:29This time,
00:50:30it's ten distinct styles.
00:50:32Master 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
00:50:37to learn all of that!
00:50:38You need ten years
00:50:39to master just one style,
00:50:41but ten styles?
00:50:42They don't want anyone
00:50:42to win!
00:50:43Prince South Thor
00:50:44never really meant
00:50:45to pay that five billion
00:50:46to anybody!
00:50:47No one can pass this battle!
00:50:48Glad I'm not the one
00:50:49humiliated.
00:50:50At least Jude volunteered
00:50:51to fall for all of us.
00:50:53That makes no sense!
00:50:55How so?
00:50:56Explain yourself then!
00:50:57You want ten scripts
00:50:58at a time?
00:50:58It's impossible!
00:50:59No mortal
00:51:00has 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,
00:51:21do the honor!
00:51:22Very well!
00:51:23Alright,
00:51:24here's your first challenge!
00:51:26Today,
00:51:27we honor the birthday
00:51:28of Prince South Thor,
00:51:29so my first couplet
00:51:31shall be for longevity!
00:51:33Oh no!
00:51:34Not just a couplet,
00:51:35but a birthday couplet!
00:51:36First line!
00:51:38Eagle brings blessings
00:51:39by Emerald Streaks!
00:51:41Excellent!
00:51:43Well played,
00:51:44Master Barret!
00:51:45The outstanding
00:51:46young elites before us!
00:51:47Are they not the same
00:51:49eagles Mr. Barret spoke of?
00:51:53The second line
00:51:54should mirror
00:51:55the imagery and tone
00:51:56and 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?
00:52:04Mr. Barret's merciless!
00:52:05He started at this difficulty!
00:52:08Eh...
00:52:08Why is everybody quiet?
00:52:10None of you knows?
00:52:12I know
00:52:12that it is difficult,
00:52:14but don't give up!
00:52:15Come on!
00:52:16Give it a try!
00:52:17You 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!
00:52:28Both talk from someone
00:52:29who can't spell doom!
00:52:31Dude, Sterling, right?
00:52:32You didn't catch the full depth
00:52:33behind his couplet!
00:52:34Listen carefully!
00:52:35It's not just about
00:52:36birthday celebrations!
00:52:38It's all about us gift bearers!
00:52:39We're the eagles!
00:52:40And other than that,
00:52:41you also have to know that-
00:52:43Griffin grants fortune
00:52:44through ancient oaks!
00:52:45What?
00:52:46Griffin grants fortune?
00:52:48Exquisite!
00:52:49That's perfection!
00:52:50Mr. Barret called us eagles,
00:52:52but Jude Sterling
00:52:53made Prince Southor
00:52:54the griffin!
00:52:56That is brilliant!
00:52:57That is the right answer!
00:52:59Indeed, you're correct!
00:53:00By emerald streams,
00:53:02two through ancient oaks,
00:53:04eagle brings blessings
00:53:05to Griffin grants fortune!
00:53:09Excellent!
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
00:53:18ten years old!
00:53:19He barely tried answering,
00:53:21yet 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,
00:53:27Mr. Clay didn't just
00:53:28acknowledge you,
00:53:29he showered you with praise!
00:53:31Such overflowing talent!
00:53:32We doubted that in the beginning!
00:53:34But now,
00:53:35I can finally see why!
00:53:37Then I'll give the first line!
00:53:39Do you think you can
00:53:40complete it, young man?
00:53:42Of course!
00:53:43Why wouldn't I?
00:53:46Our Prince Arthur
00:53:47remains firmly in his prime,
00:53:49as you see!
00:53:49His martial prowess
00:53:50is undiminished!
00:53:51It's only fair
00:53:53that he remains
00:53:53the focus of the challenge!
00:53:55Is that alright?
00:53:56Go ahead, Mr. Turner!
00:53:58Good!
00:53:59Jude Sterling,
00:54:00listen very carefully!
00:54:01Just wait a minute!
00:54:02Mr. Turner,
00:54:03since when is this
00:54:04his private test?
00:54:05Yeah!
00:54:06Why is he the only one
00:54:07getting a challenge?
00:54:08He was able to answer one!
00:54:09That proves nothing!
00:54:10Huh!
00:54:11But none of you
00:54:11will be able to answer it!
00:54:13Possible!
00:54:14So you're implying
00:54:15that we're not capable
00:54:16but he somehow is?
00:54:17Exactly!
00:54:18Mr. Turner,
00:54:19do you really think
00:54:20the seven of us
00:54:21will lose to this child?
00:54:22That's right!
00:54:23Then listen closely!
00:54:25Hold it!
00:54:25And the first line is...
00:54:28Twice Harvest Moon's turn!
00:54:30As Silver Crescent's cast
00:54:32gentle, shimmering glow!
00:54:37This is even more difficult!
00:54:38It sounds simple,
00:54:39but it's deeper!
00:54:41It's a numerical couplet!
00:54:42You must match both the theme
00:54:44as well as the math!
00:54:46What's Harvest Moon?
00:54:47And why does it turn twice?
00:54:48How about that?
00:54:49You've stumbled to answer it, right?
00:54:51Mr. Turner,
00:54:52he may have gotten us this time,
00:54:54but that doesn't mean
00:54:55that he won this battle!
00:54:56Yeah, that's true!
00:54:57This one's trickier
00:54:58than the last!
00:54:59I don't like cutting in,
00:55:01but I've already given you
00:55:02ten full breaths to think!
00:55:04If you still can't figure out
00:55:06the answer,
00:55:07I 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 please, go ahead!
00:55:16As Silver Crescent's
00:55:18cast gentle, shimmering glow,
00:55:21twice Harvest Moon's turn.
00:55:27My answer is,
00:55:28with Gilded Autumn's show,
00:55:30double the Sage's prime.
00:55:33Very well!
00:55:35That's the one!
00:55:36Seriously?!
00:55:37There's no way!
00:55:37That's two in a row!
00:55:39Another lucky guess!
00:55:40How's that possible?
00:55:41Oh well!
00:55:43Very good!
00:55:44That's a perfect match!
00:55:47Harvest Moon's
00:55:48the Sage's prime,
00:55:49Crescent's glow to Autumn's show!
00:55:51That's flawless!
00:55:52A perfect match!
00:55:59My turn!
00:56:00Listen, dude.
00:56:01Ever since I left,
00:56:03I've been going on this problem,
00:56:05and it won't give me peace!
00:56:07This one kept me up!
00:56:08It is surely
00:56:09a genuine
00:56:10mind melt!
00:56:13Do you think
00:56:14you can answer it
00:56:15this time?
00:56:17Very well!
00:56:18Let me hear it!
00:56:23Very well!
00:56:24Let me hear it!
00:56:30It's all about
00:56:31the digits here, kid,
00:56:33so better keep
00:56:34those numbers tight!
00:56:35Mr. Clay,
00:56:36let me hear it!
00:56:40First line,
00:56:41a hundred suns,
00:56:42a temple up,
00:56:43thousands of tiles,
00:56:44hundreds of bricks.
00:56:49How about it?
00:56:50What do you think
00:56:51of this one?
00:56:52I'll give you
00:56:53five minutes
00:56:54to think about it.
00:56:55You have to...
00:56:56Four bridges passed,
00:56:58three souls over,
00:56:59one boat,
00:56:59two oars.
00:57:00Seriously?
00:57:01That was fast!
00:57:02Did he even think about it?
00:57:03Lightning fast!
00:57:03Quicker than a hiccup!
00:57:04He's a freak!
00:57:05A total freak!
00:57:07Wow.
00:57:07I'm still trying to make
00:57:09sense of the first line,
00:57:10and he's already
00:57:11finished answering?
00:57:12See it now?
00:57:13The sterling bloodline
00:57:15is legendary!
00:57:16You're even more
00:57:17brilliant than
00:57:18I ever imagined!
00:57:20Here goes!
00:57:21Three long,
00:57:21two short,
00:57:22one palm
00:57:23upholds the heavens.
00:57:24Jude,
00:57:24we're still dealing
00:57:25with numbers here,
00:57:26but the trick is
00:57:27you have to read
00:57:28the pattern.
00:57:29My answer is...
00:57:30Already?
00:57:31He's got it again!
00:57:33But the trick is
00:57:35you have to read
00:57:35the pattern.
00:57:36My answer is...
00:57:37Six days shape creation,
00:57:39four horsemen,
00:57:39eight beatitudes.
00:57:40You...
00:57:41He's got it again!
00:57:42Now answer this one!
00:57:44Where water breeds worms,
00:57:45it thickens.
00:57:46Where water breeds fish,
00:57:48it feeds.
00:57:49Waters multiplied,
00:57:50creek, lake,
00:57:51and endless sea!
00:57:53Time to level up
00:57:54the questions now!
00:57:55You better prepare
00:57:57for linguistic acrobatics!
00:57:59Listen closely.
00:58:00Where root meets earth,
00:58:01it anchors.
00:58:02Where tip meets sky,
00:58:03it reaches.
00:58:04Woods compounded.
00:58:05Pine, oak,
00:58:05a towering forest.
00:58:07But...
00:58:07What?
00:58:08Even a sage
00:58:09would struggle with that!
00:58:11You're a dictionary demon.
00:58:12That's witchcraft!
00:58:14All right,
00:58:15I'll be giving my last one.
00:58:16It's the ultimate one.
00:58:18If you could answer it,
00:58:19you will earn my respect.
00:58:21You mean,
00:58:21that one?
00:58:22Mr. Barrett,
00:58:23I know that one!
00:58:24But asking that
00:58:26would be too much!
00:58:27Nobody's ever
00:58:28solved that riddle
00:58:29for ages!
00:58:30Wait,
00:58:30is he actually
00:58:31referring to that line?
00:58:32The one that everyone
00:58:34swears is unsolvable
00:58:35without a line to match?
00:58:36Ah,
00:58:37this means that
00:58:38their pride's been pricked.
00:58:40Now they'll hit him
00:58:40with the impossible
00:58:41one to answer.
00:58:43It's true.
00:58:44Two to answer quickly.
00:58:46In the blink of an eye,
00:58:47he's embarrassing
00:58:48all those older scholars.
00:58:50Unless they give
00:58:51a hard one,
00:58:51I'm afraid
00:58:52they'll carry
00:58:53that shame forever.
00:58:54Father,
00:58:55what would be
00:58:56the question?
00:58:56I have no idea.
00:58:58But if they all
00:58:59call it unsolvable,
00:59:00then
00:59:01it's no child's riddle.
00:59:05I know that couplet.
00:59:06If you can crack it,
00:59:07I promise
00:59:08to call you
00:59:09my master.
00:59:10I'm not interested
00:59:11to become your master.
00:59:12The arrogance
00:59:13in this kid,
00:59:13how insolent!
00:59:14How dare you!
00:59:15Can we all begin now?
00:59:16Let's say,
00:59:17I solve your
00:59:18unsolvable couplet today.
00:59:19Does that seal my victory
00:59:21in this battle of wit?
00:59:23You've already won
00:59:24this battle.
00:59:24Whether you can
00:59:25solve this line or not,
00:59:27the brilliance of
00:59:27your intellect
00:59:28has proven no equal
00:59:30in this world.
00:59:30I have no objections.
00:59:32You've definitely
00:59:32earned the title
00:59:34fair and square.
00:59:36Very well.
00:59:36You may
00:59:37choose not to
00:59:38answer this one,
00:59:39as this problem
00:59:40remains
00:59:41unsolved
00:59:42for ages.
00:59:43Since you put it
00:59:44that way,
00:59:45now I'm curious.
00:59:46What is this
00:59:47unsolvable riddle
00:59:48of yours?
00:59:51Listen well.
00:59:52Lotus leaf,
00:59:53lilac,
00:59:53lilac,
00:59:54lake,
00:59:54lichen.
00:59:55What does it mean?
00:59:56Lotus,
00:59:57lilac,
00:59:58and lichen?
00:59:58Aren't all those names
01:00:00names of plants?
01:00:01Not so hard, right?
01:00:03Hmm.
01:00:05Interesting.
01:00:06I'll need a moment.
01:00:07I got it.
01:00:08I know the answer.
01:00:09What?
01:00:10You?
01:00:13You?
01:00:14Keith,
01:00:15be quiet.
01:00:16This challenge
01:00:16is beyond you.
01:00:17Dad,
01:00:18mustn't you question me?
01:00:19This is child's play.
01:00:21Child's play?
01:00:22The answer is thorny,
01:00:23though in my eyes,
01:00:24hardly worth a second glance.
01:00:25You owned the stage
01:00:26long enough,
01:00:27yet you're being so quiet now.
01:00:28Finally,
01:00:29it's now my turn
01:00:30to shine and earn the crown.
01:00:32All right.
01:00:33Let's hear it then.
01:00:34Lotus leaf,
01:00:35lilac,
01:00:35lilac,
01:00:35lake,
01:00:36lichen.
01:00:36It captures a vision of life.
01:00:38They expand their reach
01:00:39from water to shore.
01:00:41So here's my answer.
01:00:43Green hills,
01:00:43run at glance,
01:00:44glowing springs.
01:00:48Mr. Wilkins,
01:00:49that doesn't pair.
01:00:50Just what the hell is that?
01:00:51Yeah.
01:00:52How is it not fitting?
01:00:53Mr. Reeves,
01:00:54don't you know versus?
01:00:55Shut it.
01:00:56Guards,
01:00:56remove this simpleton
01:00:58out of here.
01:01:00Throw him out.
01:01:01Mr. Barrett,
01:01:02green hills to lotus leaf.
01:01:03The hills on their side
01:01:04is springs.
01:01:05My logic stands.
01:01:06The artistry of that first line
01:01:08escapes you entirely,
01:01:09and yet you dare to answer it?
01:01:11Throw him out.
01:01:12What do all of you here know?
01:01:14My imagery fits,
01:01:15my rhythm true,
01:01:16and it captures
01:01:17the cliff's menace.
01:01:18Just stop it, Wilkins.
01:01:19Lotus leaf,
01:01:20lilac,
01:01:21lake lichen.
01:01:22Think about these words carefully.
01:01:24They're all starting
01:01:25with letter L.
01:01:26Yeah.
01:01:27This is no mere imagery only.
01:01:30What we have here
01:01:31is alliteration.
01:01:33A flawless line,
01:01:34an impossible standard.
01:01:35All starts with L.
01:01:37Indeed,
01:01:37all L initials.
01:01:38Lotus starts with L.
01:01:40From lotus to lilac,
01:01:42and even lichen.
01:01:43They all start
01:01:44with the letter L.
01:01:46All crelled with L.
01:01:47You fool!
01:01:48You're blind to its design,
01:01:49and yet you strut like you want.
01:01:51You made things difficult!
01:01:52Lotus leaf,
01:01:53lilac,
01:01:53well,
01:01:54lake lichen,
01:01:55all starts with L.
01:01:56The art is in the sound.
01:01:57Exactly.
01:01:58Oh god,
01:01:59how did I miss that?
01:02:01Guards,
01:02:01remove this jester
01:02:03from this hall now.
01:02:05I'm sorry,
01:02:06I'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,
01:02:13but he solved it?
01:02:14Let go of me!
01:02:15I'll leave this place,
01:02:16but let me hear his answer first.
01:02:20My answer is,
01:02:21rose root,
01:02:22reed brush,
01:02:23red rose head.
01:02:25He got it!
01:02:26A true marvel!
01:02:27The insolvable line,
01:02:28he solved it!
01:02:29A genius!
01:02:30A true genius!
01:02:31This can't be.
01:02:32This is sorcery!
01:02:33He actually cracked.
01:02:34I yield utterly.
01:02:35I'd hardly call this line difficult.
01:02:37I only pause because I don't want to rush it,
01:02:40not because I don't know the answer.
01:02:41Then,
01:02:42what was on your mind?
01:02:43What's on my mind?
01:02:44To reduce your legendary test to rubble.
01:02:46Until there's nothing left for you to boast about.
01:02:49To rubble?
01:02:50Explain yourself.
01:02:51I crafted five answers.
01:02:52What?
01:02:53Five?
01:02:53Five?
01:02:54This is not a timeless riddle.
01:02:55From now on,
01:02:57never 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?
01:03:03Five?
01:03:05Lotus Leaf,
01:03:06Lilac Lilt,
01:03:07Lake Lichen.
01:03:08The first answer that I gave you
01:03:09is
01:03:10Rose Root,
01:03:11Reed Rush,
01:03:11Red Rose.
01:03:13As for the second answer,
01:03:15Moss Mound,
01:03:16Maple Mist,
01:03:17Misty Meadow.
01:03:18That fits!
01:03:19He's right!
01:03:22And for the third answer,
01:03:24Willow Wood,
01:03:25White Wood,
01:03:25Wild Wheat.
01:03:27The fourth answer will be
01:03:29Bay Beach,
01:03:30Broadbanks,
01:03:31Briny Billows.
01:03:32There's no way.
01:03:33And lastly,
01:03:34the fifth,
01:03:36Brook Bend,
01:03:37Bayou Branch,
01:03:38Blue Brine.
01:03:39Whoa!
01:03:40That's unbelievable!
01:03:41Five answers!
01:03:43I can't believe it!
01:03:44What about it?
01:03:46Please take me!
01:03:47I want to learn from you!
01:03:49You want to learn from me?
01:03:51I've never witnessed
01:03:52such a brilliant mind like yours!
01:03:53You outshine the ancient!
01:03:55That's crazy!
01:03:55My god!
01:03:56Even Mr. Barret's bowing to him!
01:03:59You really want to learn from me?
01:04:03Right now,
01:04:04you still
01:04:05don't qualify.
01:04:07Huh?
01:04:07What did you say?
01:04:08That's way too cocky!
01:04:09How dare you!
01:04:09Mr. Barret even bowed to him!
01:04:11And he turned him down!
01:04:12Who does it think he is?
01:04:14Mr. Barret doesn't qualify?
01:04:15How dare you!
01:04:16Who taught you that?
01:04:17Mr. Barret kneeling to him?
01:04:18This world has gone completely mad!
01:04:20He actually refused him!
01:04:22Even if he said no,
01:04:23he didn't have to say
01:04:24he doesn't qualify!
01:04:25Jude!
01:04:26Quit running your mouth!
01:04:27Unless Mr. Jensen and I are blind,
01:04:30we're looking at a true legend!
01:04:32If that's the case,
01:04:33then he really doesn't measure up!
01:04:34Maybe even I fall short
01:04:37of the standard as well!
01:04:39Can we finally move on
01:04:40to the next trial?
01:04:41Chester, stand up!
01:04:43You simply don't have
01:04:44the qualities that he requires!
01:04:47What?
01:04:48Stand up!
01:04:49The Lunamount delegation
01:04:50will explain everything!
01:04:52Lunamount?
01:04:53So you mean
01:04:54the Solorane's protectors,
01:04:56the Lunamounts?
01:04:56According to legends,
01:04:58even the Emperor
01:04:58must train with them!
01:05:00They work side by side
01:05:01with each other!
01:05:02They're really dispatching
01:05:03the envoys?
01:05:06I didn't know
01:05:07that the Prince
01:05:08has this connection
01:05:09that even the Lunamounts
01:05:10attend his birthday!
01:05:12No way!
01:05:13This can't be real!
01:05:15Grandpa,
01:05:15what exactly is the Lunamount?
01:05:17They're what they call
01:05:18the real deities!
01:05:19They wield
01:05:21so much power
01:05:22that even the royalty
01:05:23are forced to kneel!
01:05:26They are mystics?
01:05:27They actually exist?
01:05:28They are in this world?
01:05:30Goodness me!
01:05:31Open your eyes!
01:05:32There's more than
01:05:32just your little pond,
01:05:34you know?
01:05:34If Lunamount ever
01:05:35considered taking me in,
01:05:37who cares about inheritance?
01:05:39Arch-sage would mean nothing!
01:05:40All mortal achievements
01:05:41are dust before them!
01:05:43Every name fades to nothing
01:05:44in their shadow!
01:05:46Sean,
01:05:47the Lunamount rarely appears.
01:05:49This is it!
01:05:50This is your golden chance!
01:05:51Dad!
01:05:52Break your connections
01:05:53to reach them!
01:05:54Their simple approval
01:05:54could make you filthy rich,
01:05:56even if
01:05:56you become their floor scrubber!
01:05:58A servant?
01:05:59Any servant of theirs
01:06:01gets to have equal treatment
01:06:02from the rich
01:06:03and even from the nobility!
01:06:05What?
01:06:09What?
01:06:10Lunamount?
01:06:11From how they are acting?
01:06:12They must be a mystic sect
01:06:14in this world!
01:06:14How intriguing!
01:06:28Hello, Hank!
01:06:30If he came all the way here
01:06:31just for nothing...
01:06:32I'll skin you alive!
01:06:33I wouldn't dare lie
01:06:34to the Lunamounts!
01:06:35Prince Southr and I,
01:06:36we both felt it!
01:06:37That suffocating pressure
01:06:39radiating from him!
01:06:40The night before,
01:06:41we saw him practicing,
01:06:43devouring every
01:06:44spiritual energy
01:06:44in the city!
01:06:45Ha ha ha!
01:06:46The entire city?
01:06:47Are you out of your mind?
01:06:49That kind of power
01:06:50requires at least
01:06:50trinity convergence!
01:06:52How could such a person exist?
01:06:53That's why
01:06:54I asked you to come here
01:06:56to verify it!
01:07:01Our master is coming with
01:07:03after hearing this.
01:07:04Start preparing.
01:07:05He'll arrive shortly.
01:07:07Yes!
01:07:11Fascinating!
01:07:13Draining the entire
01:07:14city's energy!
01:07:15Even if it's fake,
01:07:17he's still a rogue mystic,
01:07:18isn't he?
01:07:19Do you agree with me, Hank?
01:07:20Master,
01:07:21Andy is a boastful man!
01:07:23Well,
01:07:24what if he really is
01:07:25a mystic like he says?
01:07:26And only ten years old?
01:07:29Perhaps I will
01:07:30mentor him myself
01:07:31and grant him this chance.
01:07:34What?
01:07:34Master?
01:07:35You'd actually
01:07:36taken a disciple?
01:07:37You're on the verge
01:07:38of trinity convergence already!
01:07:40Trinity convergence?
01:07:42Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
01:07:43The world believes
01:07:44that I'm close
01:07:45to achieving it!
01:07:46Yet it is
01:07:47a realm beyond
01:07:49the ordinary mortals!
01:07:51Only myths talk about it!
01:07:53But other than those myths,
01:07:55nobody else mentions it!
01:07:56Penciforce Dominion?
01:07:58A realm of
01:07:59extraordinary ability!
01:08:00But for me,
01:08:01I won't!
01:08:02I'll never touch it!
01:08:05Judas solved
01:08:06a couplet
01:08:07unsolved for ages!
01:08:09I'd say
01:08:10there is no need
01:08:12to continue
01:08:12to the second trial!
01:08:15Indeed, you're right!
01:08:16Though the first test
01:08:17measured intellect,
01:08:19he's shown us
01:08:20extraordinary talents
01:08:22that makes him
01:08:23deserving of being
01:08:25the first place
01:08:26even in the second trial
01:08:27as well!
01:08:28Hmm!
01:08:28Then further trials
01:08:29are simply pointless!
01:08:31I totally agree with you!
01:08:33Hmm!
01:08:34Bring the ink and brush!
01:08:41How shall we conduct this,
01:08:43honorable judges?
01:08:44Please decide!
01:08:46If Mr. Clay
01:08:47insists that he knows
01:08:48all the ten artistic
01:08:49styles of calligraphy,
01:08:51let's see!
01:08:52Let him prove to us
01:08:53that he can actually write!
01:08:55Very well!
01:08:55Then let him demonstrate
01:08:56these ten styles!
01:08:58Ten?
01:08:59Really?
01:09:00Really?
01:09:00That's impossible!
01:09:01Nobody does that!
01:09:03Yeah!
01:09:04Chester!
01:09:05You're suggesting...
01:09:06Write the immortal creed!
01:09:09For heaven establish virtue!
01:09:11For mortal secure purposes!
01:09:13For ancestors revive wisdom!
01:09:15For eternity forges peace!
01:09:17You have to write
01:09:18the immortal creed
01:09:19ten times!
01:09:21And each of the times
01:09:22should be written
01:09:23in 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?
01:09:40Jude, 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,
01:09:48I refuse to believe
01:09:49he can do it!
01:09:50Nor do I!
01:09:50I also yield!
01:09:51So, all of you behind him!
01:09:54Master,
01:09:54I yield already!
01:09:56I don't know ten!
01:09:57Let alone write them!
01:09:58Same!
01:09:59Count me out!
01:10:00The trial is meaningless anyway!
01:10:02It'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!
01:10:08We're just foil for him!
01:10:09Yes!
01:10:09Exactly!
01:10:10This trial
01:10:11is completely meaningless!
01:10:13And now,
01:10:13you want us to write the sacred text
01:10:15in ten different styles?
01:10:17No human being
01:10:17could possibly know
01:10:18those ten styles
01:10:20and how to write all of them!
01:10:23Unless...
01:10:45He writes like he is the master
01:10:47of the brush!
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!
01:11:07Philistine,
01:11:07this isn't messy!
01:11:08Can't you feel the flow
01:11:09of his writing?
01:11:10Indeed!
01:11:11Can you see how
01:11:11each character's pulse?
01:11:13As if the ink has a soul!
01:11:14Good!
01:11:15Such an excellent mastery!
01:11:24Be careful holding it!
01:11:26The ink's still wet!
01:11:28The italic script?
01:11:32The italic script!
01:11:33I told you!
01:11:34He knew that script!
01:11:35None of you believe me!
01:11:37This is the italic script!
01:11:38Each character breathes!
01:11:46The italic script!
01:11:47The italic script!
01:11:47Is he for real?
01:11:48Indeed!
01:11:48How does he know
01:11:49all of this?
01:11:52Prodigy!
01:11:53Absolute prodigy!
01:11:56Your mom once told me
01:11:57that even if they
01:11:58called you mute,
01:11:59she always saw
01:12:00the genius in you
01:12:01at an early age.
01:12:03I...
01:12:03I believe that too,
01:12:05but I lack the courage
01:12:05to speak up.
01:12:15Clerical script?
01:12:16Is this clerical script?
01:12:17It's a fancy clerical script!
01:12:19Unbelievable!
01:12:20He actually knows it!
01:12:22So what if he knows it?
01:12:23Talon is nothing
01:12:24without backing!
01:12:25The Lunamounts are coming!
01:12:26If I can win
01:12:27the Lunamounts' favor,
01:12:29then I can still crush
01:12:29you into dirt, Jude!
01:12:32A mute's a mute!
01:12:33You'll forever be
01:12:34a broken child to me!
01:12:36Even with all your words,
01:12:38you still look
01:12:38utterly helpless to me!
01:12:43Master!
01:12:44Disciple Hank!
01:12:46What script is this?
01:12:47Have you seen this?
01:12:48What's this?
01:12:49It's artistic,
01:12:50but what it is,
01:12:51I don't know!
01:12:52Did he invent that?
01:12:53Wait, it's...
01:12:54Carolingian Miniscule!
01:12:56What's that?
01:12:59This is Carolingian Miniscule!
01:13:02In Charlemagne's era!
01:13:03Thin yet full-bodied!
01:13:04He didn't just study it!
01:13:06He actually mastered it!
01:13:08You really are full of surprises!
01:13:25What?
01:13:27What?
01:13:27After Unchal's script and Carolingian Miniscule!
01:13:30I knew it!
01:13:31No one in this world
01:13:32can be a rival to you!
01:13:35Hehehehehe!
01:13:40There is no need
01:13:41to prove yourself
01:13:43to these plebeians!
01:13:45You're the champion!
01:13:47Huh?
01:13:48Huh?
01:13:48Huh?
01:13:48It's over just like that,
01:13:50champion?
01:13:50What?
01:13:51I have no arguments!
01:13:53You've earned this title!
01:13:56The champion is...
01:13:58Jude Sterling!
01:14:00Of House Sterling!
01:14:04Wow, he actually won it!
01:14:07Our champion!
01:14:08Our family hasn't produced
01:14:10such genius in many decades!
01:14:13It's a title well earned!
01:14:15I never bowed!
01:14:16Yet today,
01:14:17I yield to you completely!
01:14:19Congratulations!
01:14:20Congratulations!
01:14:21I fully yield to you, Jude!
01:14:24House Sterling!
01:14:29Tell me,
01:14:30does this level of glory suffice for you?
01:14:34Is this high enough?
01:14:36Or must I raise you
01:14:37even higher,
01:14:38pushing you behind
01:14:39every mortal limit?
01:14:41Something's off!
01:14:42What's happening to them?
01:14:48Ah!
01:14:50This way, please!
01:14:51Andy,
01:14:51this had better not be
01:14:52false intel!
01:14:54Of course!
01:14:54I'd never lie!
01:14:55At worst,
01:14:56he's a young genius!
01:14:57Geniuses are a dime a dozen!
01:14:59To us unworldly mystics,
01:15:01there are insects beneath our feet!
01:15:03Of course!
01:15:04Benjamin Sterling!
01:15:06Answer me now!
01:15:07Was your House of Sterling
01:15:08elevated high enough today?
01:15:10Is this enough for you?
01:15:14He called his grandfather's name?
01:15:16This isn't right!
01:15:17What happened?
01:15:18Jude!
01:15:18Stop!
01:15:19Shut up!
01:15:21Jude Sterling!
01:15:23Don't get cocky
01:15:23just because you won!
01:15:25The award!
01:15:25It belonged to our son!
01:15:28I am asking you,
01:15:29was it enough?
01:15:31If you're satisfied,
01:15:32I've fulfilled my promise to you!
01:15:33Now it's your family's turn!
01:15:35Time to honor your deal!
01:15:42Kneel at my mother's grave
01:15:43in mourning robes!
01:15:44Admit you were wrong!
01:15:46Jude Sterling,
01:15:47I don't recall
01:15:48making such promises
01:15:49to anyone!
01:15:55Though I agreed with your condition,
01:15:58your mom was still just a woman
01:16:00unworthy of my dignity,
01:16:02I am the patriarch,
01:16:03the face of the family,
01:16:04and my forehead
01:16:05has never touched dirt!
01:16:07So you intend to deny
01:16:08the oath you made?
01:16:09Jude,
01:16:11be reasonable.
01:16:12We belong to a noble family,
01:16:15face matters more than promises.
01:16:16Remember that!
01:16:18So just accept the reward,
01:16:20and all our wealth
01:16:21will be transferred to you!
01:16:23Dad!
01:16:24If you won't give in,
01:16:26then forget it!
01:16:28Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
01:16:31Do you think I care about wealth?
01:16:32You must be kidding me!
01:16:34I don't care about your treasures!
01:16:36Those are nothing but dust to me!
01:16:38I've surpassed your petty realm entirely!
01:16:41Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
01:16:43What a very noble speech!
01:16:44I'm really touched!
01:16:58I, Southdore,
01:16:59pay my respects
01:17:00to the Master of Lunamount
01:17:01and Head Disciple!
01:17:13What?
01:17:17Master of Lunamount!
01:17:19Lunamount Envoy's
01:17:20didn't just show up here!
01:17:21The Master even came in person!
01:17:22That's their Master!
01:17:27The Master's here!
01:17:28Why aren't you kneeling?
01:17:29Do you all have a death wish?
01:17:31Even the Prince is kneeling to them!
01:17:33Get down, now!
01:17:34Oh!
01:17:35All hail Master of Lunamount!
01:17:40Just a normal, young boy.
01:17:42Is this guy what they call a mystic?
01:17:45Barely a divine nexus tier.
01:17:47I don't feel any power
01:17:48coming from this boy.
01:17:49Either he's way stronger than me,
01:17:52I can't see through him,
01:17:54or he's just a nobody.
01:17:57You!
01:17:57On your knees now!
01:18:05Who do you think you are?
01:18:07He's got a death wish!
01:18:09What a waste!
01:18:10Top of the world and then the next!
01:18:11Kneel now!
01:18:12How dare you disrespect Lunamount!
01:18:14He's gonna get us killed this time!
01:18:17Do you even hear yourself,
01:18:18little man?
01:18:19I said,
01:18:20who do you think you are?
01:18:24I'm the head disciple of Lunamount!
01:18:26My name is Hank Caltavian!
01:18:28Lunamount?
01:18:29Are they important?
01:18:31He's got a death wish!
01:18:34Lunamount is Solorane's protector!
01:18:36Every top cultivator in the Empire gathers there!
01:18:39We have 300 disciples!
01:18:41On your knees!
01:18:42Plead for the sake of your 300 disciples!
01:18:44Were it not for my mercy,
01:18:46you won't be here breathing!
01:18:48Do you even know what you're talking about?
01:18:51He just threatened to exterminate them!
01:18:53Is he out of his mind?
01:18:58Is he really a mystic?
01:19:00If he is,
01:19:01how strong must he be to talk like that?
01:19:03If not,
01:19:04is he just some reckless kid running his mouth?
01:19:07He doesn't even understand the weight of the words he's using.
01:19:11And now what?
01:19:12Am I about to get dragged into this mess too?
01:19:15Shoot!
01:19:16Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness!
01:19:19Kneel down!
01:19:29He's an outcast from our family!
01:19:31Whatever he said has nothing to do with us!
01:19:33Nothing at all!
01:19:34Please have mercy!
01:19:35Please punish him, not us!
01:19:36He's not a sterling!
01:19:37He doesn't speak for us!
01:19:38We already cast him out a long time ago!
01:19:40Please don't drag us into this!
01:19:42I'm begging you!
01:19:44Am I still a sterling?
01:19:47Am I still a sterling?
01:19:49No!
01:19:50You never were!
01:19:51You're just a cast off!
01:19:52So am I abandoned?
01:19:54Master, he's not a sterling!
01:19:57Yeah!
01:19:57We already disowned him!
01:19:58We exiled him!
01:20:00It's true!
01:20:00Seven years ago!
01:20:02Master from Lunamount!
01:20:03He's the only crazy one in here!
01:20:05We have nothing to do with this!
01:20:07We're innocent!
01:20:08Kill only the guilty!
01:20:09Didn't I just make myself clear?
01:20:11I'm not a sterling!
01:20:12I am an Auron!
01:20:14Yet you insist that I'm a sterling!
01:20:16That your blood's in my veins!
01:20:17That it is my duty to secure victory for you and elevate you to glory!
01:20:22Stop telling lies!
01:20:23When did I say that to you?
01:20:25You're never a sterling!
01:20:26You don't have our noble blood!
01:20:28That name was never yours!
01:20:30Yeah!
01:20:31Even you call yourself an Auron!
01:20:34You're never a sterling!
01:20:36Shoot!
01:20:36Dad!
01:20:37What are you talking about?
01:20:40Dad!
01:20:41What are you talking about?
01:20:42Shut up!
01:20:44Love!
01:20:45I just felt the baby move!
01:20:56I'm done with this!
01:20:57All your lives, you've drowned in vanity and greed!
01:21:00Too ashamed to even acknowledge your own blood!
01:21:03Seven years ago, when Jude was only three years old, all of you, you threw him out of the house!
01:21:09You said, we only breed prodigies!
01:21:13That my mute child would shame us all!
01:21:15You're lying!
01:21:16Stop with the lies!
01:21:17He's only three years old, and you simply threw him out!
01:21:21You even exiled him with my wife when I refused!
01:21:24You called me this loyal, but I said no!
01:21:27Then you called me the ungrateful son, clueless about the big picture!
01:21:31Well, screw that!
01:21:32You don't know what I've been through!
01:21:35None of you!
01:21:36My poor wife, she raised him alone!
01:21:39I wasn't even there!
01:21:41And when she died, I wasn't there for them either!
01:21:44I've been living with guilt, and it eats me up every day!
01:21:47He only wanted to bring Jude home, because the prince expects the perfect family!
01:21:52But I know that you're only using him!
01:21:56You're only using him!
01:21:59But me, I'll take it!
01:22:01You know why?
01:22:03I get to see my son again!
01:22:09Now I can proudly say, that he is my son again!
01:22:13All you wanted, was to parade his kills around!
01:22:17To drill into him!
01:22:19You're a sterling!
01:22:20Make us proud!
01:22:21And then what did you do?
01:22:23Lunamount shows up, Jude won't bow to them!
01:22:25And suddenly he's no longer one of us!
01:22:28So what just said, is he family or not?
01:22:31He's got no peace!
01:22:35So which is it?
01:22:36Is he family or not?
01:22:37He's got no peace!
01:22:40First you cast him out, then sweet-talked him into coming back home.
01:22:45Only to cut him loose again?
01:22:47That's just cruel and cold.
01:22:49I feel sorry for you, kid.
01:22:52After everything that's happened, a ten-year-old still managed to outshine the legends?
01:22:56Live or die today, kid.
01:22:58You're already my hero, Jude Sterling!
01:23:01He's wrong!
01:23:02He's not one of us!
01:23:04Not since I kicked him out!
01:23:06He's not one of us and seven years ago!
01:23:08Fine!
01:23:09Deny him!
01:23:11But today, I'm finally stepping up!
01:23:15I'm Jude's father!
01:23:17My name is Anthony Sterling!
01:23:23I understand it now.
01:23:25I get it.
01:23:27Hey, kid.
01:23:27I feel sorry for you.
01:23:29Their noble house is trash.
01:23:31But to disrespect us?
01:23:33And mouthing off about us?
01:23:35Sympathy won't stop your death.
01:23:37Ten years old or not?
01:23:39Today, you're going to meet your end.
01:23:42Andy!
01:23:44Yes, brother.
01:23:46Go.
01:23:46Make it quick for the boy.
01:23:48Yes.
01:23:50Sorry, kid.
01:23:52You're just ten years old and really talented.
01:23:54However, don't blame me for what comes next.
01:23:57After today, you'll be Dawnshire's greatest prodigy,
01:24:00with your name resounding throughout the entire empire.
01:24:03Just name your price!
01:24:05You!
01:24:06Move it.
01:24:07Jude.
01:24:10Move behind me.
01:24:12Don't play the hero.
01:24:14You did pretty good.
01:24:15I'll spare you.
01:24:16I'll only be using this finger.
01:24:19Now allow me to show you...
01:24:21How it ends you.
01:24:22You brat!
01:24:32Shadow Thorn Strike!
01:24:37With just one finger!
01:24:39This can't be real!
01:24:40How is this possible?
01:24:41This can't be real!
01:24:42He's a mystic!
01:24:43By the grace of his holy light, I didn't kill him.
01:24:47Don't you worry.
01:24:49I simply guided him towards paradise.
01:24:57He has the petal trail.
01:25:00This is the legendary petal trail.
01:25:06Trinity Convergence.
01:25:09He's...
01:25:10He's some mystic!
01:25:13Trinity Convergence.
01:25:21By the grace of his holy light...
01:25:27Pantaforce!
01:25:28Dominion!
01:25:30Save me!
01:25:31Save me, Master!
01:25:32Help me!
01:25:33What is that?
01:25:34What is that?
01:25:34Pantaforce!
01:25:34Dominion!
01:25:35They actually...
01:25:36They actually exist!
01:25:37What is that?
01:25:38I'm facing a true Master!
01:25:39Save you?
01:25:41How can he save you?
01:25:42He can't even save himself.
01:25:45Mercy Master!
01:25:46Please spare us!
01:25:48To witness an immortal Mastering Pentaforce Dominion in my lifetime!
01:25:53I can die happy!
01:25:56I have no regrets!
01:26:01Please!
01:26:02Please!
01:26:03Please!
01:26:03Take me with you!
01:26:05I'll devote my life to you!
01:26:06Please accept me!
01:26:08Trinity Convergence!
01:26:09That's the very pinnacle that I'm dreaming of!
01:26:13If I could even get a glimpse of that realm, I promise that I will serve only you forever!
01:26:20I'm just a Baron!
01:26:22Take me as your disciple!
01:26:23You want to learn from me?
01:26:25You?
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!
01:26:36I was wrong!
01:26:37Come home with us!
01:26:39What are you waiting for?
01:26:42Father, let's go!
01:26:45What did you say?
01:26:46Father, let's go!
01:26:48Father, let's go!
01:26:51Father, let's go!
01:26:53Let's go!
01:27:11June!
01:27:16I failed you!
01:27:20I hope you can still forgive me!
01:27:26Dude! It's me, your cousin! How loud 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!
01:28:17You dragged me into this!
01:28:18Stop speaking nonsense! Your father orchestrated it because of the inheritance!
01:28:22I was only fooled by him!
01:28:23Stop lying, Dad!
01:28:24Lori was the daughter-in-law I always wanted!
01:28:27When she passed, I failed to mourn for her!
01:28:28Stop blaming everything on me, Dad!
01:28:29That shame will haunt me!
01:28:30Why are you for your mother?!
01:28:32Where 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!
01:28:47Three days with no leads!
01:28:49We 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!
01:28:55That we were wrong!
01:28:57That we were truly blind!
01:29:09What if we never find it?
01:29:11What if we fail 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!
01:29:19What are you for?
01:29:20My future is rotting because of you!
01:29:23Mom!
01:29:25Where can we find you?
01:29:26We were blind!
01:29:28We were arrogant fools!
01:29:29How are you, Lori?
01:29:31We were blind!
01:29:32We were arrogant fools!
01:29:34Let's go!
01:29:35To go!
