01:05Ethan
01:07Take care of it
01:08Me
01:09You must be kidding
01:10The Storm Knights couldn't bring it down
01:12How could I stand a chance
01:13Come on kiddo
01:14Just a weak little monster
01:16Finish it
01:17And we will let you go home
01:18But
01:20I'm just a farmer
01:21I've
01:21I've still got so much to learn
01:23After all our training
01:24And you still don't know your power
01:27Right
01:28I'll do it
01:41Don't let me
01:42Surround it
01:43Watch out for the dragon
01:47Form the Poseidon binding array with me
01:57To be in the
01:59I've still got so many
02:10You're gonna kick me
02:11I'll take that
02:11I've still got so many
02:12You'll have to
02:16I'll take that
02:18I'll take that
02:18I'll take that
02:46We can't hold much longer!
02:57This is a bismal monster.
03:42We're impossible.
03:58Wait!
04:01Master!
04:02You saw that right?
04:03I did it.
04:04Does this mean I can go home now?
04:07Go and get some experience.
04:08You're still a long way from ready anyway.
04:13Thank you!
04:14I'll come back with good news once I become a knight!
04:25Signing up to fight for his father's followers.
04:27That's rich.
04:29Don't look at me.
04:30You're the one tearing him down every day.
04:32Just pray Poseidon doesn't pin you to the side of Olympus with a triton.
04:41Spread the word!
04:42Every village!
04:44Every boy in this area!
04:46Whatever it takes!
04:48Find him!
04:49Yes, Captain!
04:50Yes, Captain!
04:51When I find him, I'll make him Poseidon's greatest warrior.
04:58Why are you stopping me?
05:00Don't you forget you're the Count's nephew.
05:02Your uncle hates us.
05:03What if he hurts you at the selection?
05:05I can't lose you!
05:06That's exactly why I have to get stronger!
05:09I won't let them humiliate you again.
05:11I won't let Eileen marry that scumbag.
05:14I want to protect you.
05:16Isn't that what you want to do?
05:19My son.
05:30Your father left this for you.
05:32A birthday gift.
05:35Father?
05:37Has he returned home?
05:38No.
05:40He had this ready when you were born.
05:43He told me to give it to you when you turned 18.
05:47Tomorrow is the day.
05:48Take it, it may help you.
06:08Somehow, it's the scion of Poseidon?
06:13On my order, move out to the Grand Castle!
06:20Name.
06:22Ethan.
06:23Family name?
06:24Which estate?
06:25Who's your father?
06:28Family name?
06:30I grew up with my mother in the village.
06:32My father, I don't know.
06:34Look at him!
06:35A pitchfork farmer playing knight!
06:39Well, I'll be damned.
06:42Well, look who's here, the town's famous bastard.
06:45You brought this pitchfork to recruitment?
06:48Are you here to show us how to fork hay?
06:51None of your business.
06:55Aren't you feisty?
06:56You think being in town makes you someone else?
07:01Seems you forgot your place.
07:03Get this filth out of here.
07:05He's staining the air we breathe.
07:09I came to be a knight!
07:10You can't just throw me out!
07:12Knight, you belong in the dirt.
07:15Now crawl back to your village, or I'll make sure you regret this.
07:19Count Grant, arrive!
07:31Ethan!
07:33What's going on here?
07:35Count Grant, this peasant is causing trouble here.
07:38I was about to throw him out.
07:44Uncle!
07:47How dare you call me like that!
07:49You, a lowborn peasant, dares to barge into Storm Knight recruitment!
07:54Father, he only wants to be a knight!
07:57Silence!
08:00Captain Arnard is arriving.
08:07Hail the Storm Knights!
08:09Hail the Storm Knights!
08:15Stop!
08:28What could it be?
08:36Count Grant!
08:38What's going on here?
08:39Just a lowborn farmer, doesn't know his place, trying to slip into the Storm Knights recruitment.
08:46Tell me.
08:47Why do you think you deserve a chance?
08:49I have to get stronger.
08:51So no one can ever humiliate my mother again.
08:54So the abbess never sets foot in our village, and so...
08:59I can be worthy of the girl I love.
09:03Put his name on the list.
09:05Let him take the recruiting trials.
09:08If that's your will, Captain, release him.
09:15Even if we let you in the recruitment, you'll never make it.
09:19Huh.
09:33Selection begins.
09:37The first trial!
09:39Magical aptitude!
09:41You!
09:54So Ethan's impressive, huh?
09:56He better not blow it.
09:59For real, what kind of magic could a poop-flanging peasant pull off?
10:07By the name of Poseidon, awaken the sacred spring!
10:15By the name of Poseidon, awaken the sacred spring!
10:33First in turn, son of Baron Eric.
10:38First in turn, son of Baron Eric.
10:59Low-Tier Water Control.
11:02Average!
11:03Better than I expected.
11:05Next to take the stage are the son of Baron Lucas.
11:13And the son of Viscount Paden.
11:15Roger, Cameroon.
11:156-0!
11:228-0!
11:23Above-average!
11:24Outstanding!
11:26Baron Carson!
11:400s!
11:41He's drawing a magic circle in air.
11:44That's a spell.
11:46Only Elite Knights Master.
12:04Hightail Water Control.
12:06The strongest water spell.
12:08How did he do it?
12:11That's considered strongest.
12:14But my master said this barely counts as entry level.
12:18Baron Karl!
12:20Outstanding!
12:23That's what I call a storm night!
12:26Not bad.
12:28You are not far from my own start.
12:32Last candidate.
12:33The illegitimate son, Ethan.
12:42Get him!
12:44Look at him.
12:46Bet he won't even make a ripple.
12:49Is that him?
12:50Look at how flustered he is.
12:56Bastard!
13:09Ethan, you can do it.
13:11Ethan, you can do it.
13:12Ethan, you can do it.
13:14Ethan, you can do it.
13:15Ethan, you can do it.
13:15Ethan, you can do it.
13:15Ethan, you can do it.
13:16Ethan, you can do it.
13:16Ethan, you can do it.
13:17Ethan, you can do it.
13:18Ethan, you can do it.
13:23Ethan, you can do it.
14:56A gardener's hose makes more of a splash than you do.
15:02Ethan, lowest tier.
15:04Keeping someone like him here is an insult to Poseidon's name.
15:09I propose we revoke his qualification.
15:13Yes!
15:14Drive him away!
15:15Ha ha ha ha!
15:17Ethan, you are far too weak to be a knight.
15:21Staying here would only bring shame.
15:24Now, get out!
15:28Just now, I think I saw that kid.
15:45Wait!
15:48And yet, you're just a farmer.
15:51Perhaps I was wrong.
15:52Please wait!
15:55Captain, he's not weak.
15:58The sacred pring reacted just now.
16:00Everyone saw it.
16:03Eileen, he's nothing but a dirt-grabing farmer with filthy blood.
16:07Do you honestly believe someone like him can be a knight?
16:14If the Storm Knights deny a man just for his birth, then the Storm Knights' honour is worthless.
16:22Captain, she's young and reckless.
16:25Please, show your mercy.
16:27On this lady's word, Ethan will retain his qualification and proceed to the next trial.
16:40Fine, let's see if you're really hiding something.
16:44He's lost his mind.
16:49Bring out the sacred artifact.
17:09So this is the legendary heart of the tide, forged by Hepastus himself, from the toughest steel in existence, Sem
17:17said to be unbreakable.
17:18You are to strike it from a distance.
17:20Using only your own power, the louder and longer it rings, the pure and stronger your strength.
17:31Strike it from a distance and keep it ringing.
17:35How immense must that power be?
17:37Your Holiness has declared that anyone who can keep this bell ringing for over three minutes
17:47This will be accepted as a personal disciple.
17:51So do not hold back.
17:54Allow me to show you the real power.
18:02Ignis!
18:04Voraga ruina!
18:05Cormaeum ignitorium!
18:07Pa igniv et gloria!
18:14The Advanced Strength Doubling Spell
18:17No wonder he seemed so confident.
18:20Marrying Aileen to you was right.
18:24As expected of Baron Karl!
18:28Baron Karl!
18:30Power rating!
18:33Excellent!
18:34Such a rare talent.
18:37Talent?
18:40Feels about the same as me chopping firewood.
18:44Ethan, step forward!
18:59Here we go.
19:02Time for the clown show.
19:03I bet he won't even make it wobble.
19:06I bet he won't even make it wobble.
19:19I bet he won't be able to be the clown show.
19:21Go ahead.
19:21I bet he won't even make it wobble.
19:23I bet those shoes are on the hat.
19:23I bet those shoes are on the way to be the right.
19:23If he didn't get the front of the clown's, right?
19:24I bet he won't even make it.
19:24Because at the bear's, head of the clown's look.
19:32Now I'm going for a tie.
19:35I bet that the guy who's on the other hand.
19:38Good or a guy thatает the clown's look.
19:57Ethan, no response from the Heart of the Tiles!
20:04I knew it! What real power could a farmer possibly have?
20:09Let's throw this trash out!
20:11Yes! Throw this trash out!
20:17Captain, you saw it! For the reputation of the Storm Knights expels him now!
20:24Father!
20:28So he is not the kid who killed Abyss Monster.
20:32Remove him from the list. Get him out!
20:39Wait!
20:42Alan!
20:46Captain Arnold! I swear that Ethan isn't weak! The final trial is a lance duel!
20:52Let him face you once and you'll see what he's really capable of! Please, give him one more chance! Let
20:59him compete in the final lance trial!
21:01Have you lost your mind? Are you really going to humiliate our family for this, bastard?!
21:08I gave him two chances.
21:10Far beyond what's fair.
21:13Give it up.
21:14Captain!
21:15Alan, stop!
21:20My masters were right. I'm not strong enough yet. I'm still a long way from being a true knight.
21:27It's not true!
21:31I'll keep training and return at the next trial.
21:35One day, I'll stand beside you.
21:39And no one will dare say a word.
21:47Let's go.
21:57Something's not right.
22:17How is that possible?
22:18Even the strongest Abyss Monster, striking at full power, couldn't have damaged it like this.
22:34Ethan!
22:47You really can't wring the heart of the tides?
22:50I...
22:51I've tried my best, Captain.
22:53And I've still got a lot to learn.
22:57Sorry for letting you down.
22:58I'll grant you one last chance.
23:01The final trial.
23:03Mounted lance duel.
23:05Step onto the field and prove whether you deserve to stay.
23:10Captain Arnold!
23:11It's not fair!
23:13Since you insist, I have a request.
23:18Let me take your place and test it myself.
23:21What do you mean?
23:22Captain.
23:24Don't worry. I won't easy on him.
23:41The third trial now begins.
23:44The assessor is Count Grant.
23:48The third trial now begins.
23:56The assessor is Count Grant.
23:59Count Grant himself?
24:00He hasn't dueled with anyone in more than ten years.
24:03He is the strongest knight of our kingdom.
24:05Even Captain Arnold might not be a match for him.
24:07Uncle Grant wants to duel with me?
24:10He's the strongest. I can't even take a single spell from him.
24:15I'll take you on myself today.
24:18Last one, spell against me, and you pass.
24:22Who's first?
24:26I'll go!
24:31Count Grant, where are your horse and weapons?
24:34I won't need those to take you guys out.
25:02You failed. Next.
25:05He's still one of us.
25:06Looks like he went in a distance.
25:07easy on that young man. He's even stronger after all these years. I bet that's barely a touch of
25:12his power. Why does everyone think Uncle Grant's the strongest? I'm not seeing it. No, I won't let
25:20Ethan walk into his death. Useless, all of you. Carl, step forward. Open your eyes. This is our
25:28true talent. Yes, my lord.
25:41Army of One. A high-tier night spell. One man, an army!
25:57Formation teleport! So genius!
26:13No wonder you're our kingdom's strongest knight. I'm nowhere near your level.
26:19Made me cast one more spell. That's what I call talent. You passed. Now it's your turn, Ethan.
26:26Ethan gives up on the last trial. We are out!
26:28Wait, why?
26:29You've seen what my father can do. You can't even survive a single spell from him.
26:34Honestly, I used to think he was really powerful. But after watching for a while, I'm pretty sure I can
26:39beat him.
26:41What did you say? You fucking bastard!
26:45Sorry, Uncle. I'm clumsy with words, so don't be angry. Let me try again. If I want to beat you,
26:50I'll need 60, 70, no, maybe 80% of my power.
26:54How dare you mock me! This isn't a trial anymore, but a death match!
26:58No! Ethan just wants to be a knight. He's not a criminal. There's no need for a death battle.
27:04Father, please. Ethan is your nephew. Are you really going to kill him?
27:09Enough, Aileen! Ethan and his mother are filthy scum. They stained noble Grant bloodline.
27:16As long as I live, they will never be Grant.
27:19I accept your duel.
27:21Ethan, no!
27:21Aileen, I won't let them hurt my mother again. Nor let you marry that trash Carl.
27:27If I back off now, I'll never become a Storm Knight.
27:31Captain Arnod, please stop this!
27:34Captain, he's just a man trying to protect his mum and me. Please spare his life.
27:39Father, I'll follow all of your orders. Just let him go.
27:42If he really is that kid, this won't harm him at all.
27:46Sorry, Count Grant is the assessor of this trial.
27:56Today, it's your 18th birthday. Happy birthday and come back alive.
28:02I will. I promise.
28:11It's trembling.
28:17That pitchfork.
28:20Why does it make me want to worship him?
28:29If you're just a farmer, mocked by fate, may Poseidon claim your soul.
28:35Riders, ready?
28:36Begin!
28:38Begin!
28:42Begin!
28:43Begin!
28:43Begin!ку
29:16Raaaaaaah!
29:59Are you all right?
30:08Man.
30:14Dad!
30:27Wait.
30:29I finally found you.
30:32In the name of the Storm Knights, I, Captain Arnard, humbly ask you, Ethan, to take your place among us.
30:43What? Impossible. How could he?
30:47Captain Arnard! This can't be right! A disgusting buster like him can't join the Storm Knights!
30:53But he just beat you straight up. Right in front of Poseidon.
30:57No way! That weakling beat Count Grant! He must be cheating!
31:01How dare you accuse a Storm Knight! You guys are not taking Poseidon seriously!
31:09That pitchfork! He must have cheated with it!
31:16That's just a common pitchfork. How could he possibly cheat with that?
31:21It's gotta be it! Why else would he use that when there are so many real artifacts around?
31:25Exactly! Ethan can't have that kind of power! It must be the pitchfork!
31:44Captain. May I take a look?
32:03No magic or divine power on it.
32:08Impossible.
32:09Go. Pick up your pitchfork.
32:13Sir, it's just a pitchfork. I promise you I'm not cheating.
32:17Just do what I said.
32:33Just do what I said.
