Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Seven years ago, I was only three. You kicked me and mom out of the family, just because they couldn't
00:00:08speak quickly.
00:00:09And now, you actually want me back?
00:00:14That's right. The Sterling heir is nothing but a pathetic mute. I'm a disgrace to the family, right?
00:00:20And that is why. You all thought I totally deserved to be dumped, right?
00:00:25The Sterlings only produces geniuses, but you? You had a mute for a son. He's turning us into a complete
00:00:31laughingstock in Solar Raid.
00:00:33When my mom died last year, you didn't even flinch. So because of that, I'm done with this family, and
00:00:39done with my dad.
00:00:40But now out of nowhere, you're talking about family ties, and saying you miss me? Do you actually think I'm
00:00:46nothing more than a dumb kid?
00:00:48Souththor's birthday is the day after tomorrow. The Sterling family will be at his banquet, and that's still the family's
00:00:54heir apparent on paper.
00:00:55If I don't show up, Souththor would take it as a sign of disrespect. That's the only real reason behind
00:01:02all of this.
00:01:05I've been away for seven years. I can't find my way around. Where's the main hall?
00:01:10Well, if it isn't the great heir coming back, you're the stupid mute the Sterling's tossed out. What's with all
00:01:15the hand-waving? I don't understand it.
00:01:18Why the hell are you staring at me?
00:01:20You have no idea who you're dealing with.
00:01:25I've slaughtered you. Vermin's like you, in another life.
00:01:33I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't mean it. That was a joke. Your grandpa's right there, and everyone's been
00:01:39expecting you.
00:01:40Everyone in this world only sees me as the pathetic, mute outcast of the Sterlings.
00:01:44If only they knew I'm not one of them. My soul's from another realm. I was Friar Auron. The rivers
00:01:51ran red where I walked. That's why they called me...
00:01:54Hollow Friar.
00:01:58Hollow Friar. A thousand javelins have perished by your hand. You won't get an easy death. The underworld's waiting for
00:02:06you!
00:02:06I walk the path of mercy, a journey that leads towards the Gate of Enlightenment. Yet you fixate only on
00:02:13my wrath, but never see the compassion beneath.
00:02:16Come.
00:02:22Allow me to show it to you properly.
00:02:32By the grace of his holy light, the javelins were parasites leeching off the villagers down the mountain. Only by
00:02:39purging your whole family can suffer and be entered.
00:02:42You'll never comprehend this truth. By the grace of his holy light, mortals can never see. This is the path
00:02:50of solitude.
00:02:52If no divine hand guides me, then I shall guide myself.
00:03:07From this day forward, as long as I cultivate in silence for eight years, I'll reclaim my power from my
00:03:14past life.
00:03:14Jude, he's your grandfather. Say hi to Grandpa.
00:03:19He's born deaf and mute.
00:03:22Our Jude is the sterling heir. But a defective heir is unworthy of the legacy of our name.
00:03:30Start driving.
00:03:37But even in her death, Mom told me to come back. But this is beneath me. Yet here I stand.
00:03:44This time, I'm here to make things right. You will grovel before her tomb. Mark my words!
00:03:59fighting
00:04:00The end of the trilogy
00:04:00The end of the trilogy
00:04:08The end of the trilogy
00:04:19Leng, how have you been all these years?
00:04:21Save your breath, Grandpa. You don't have to ask him anything.
00:04:24Why do you even bother getting a sign language teacher for this mute? This is ridiculous!
00:04:32It's been seven years since I last saw your brother. Don't you think we should catch up?
00:04:37Prince Southwars Banquet is the day after tomorrow.
00:04:40If any disagreement between him and us becomes even slightly visible, it would tarnish the dignity of our entire family.
00:04:47How can you be so dense? It's obvious that you're not thinking.
00:04:51But I...
00:04:52That's okay.
00:04:53Please hold your temper.
00:04:59You know, Jude, in all honesty, we've wronged your mother and you all these years.
00:05:06Yet we must ask for your understanding.
00:05:08It's only natural for a great family to encounter and to endure many complications.
00:05:20It's not your fault that you were born mute.
00:05:23You are and always will be part of the Sterling bloodline.
00:05:26From now on, you will be living here with us.
00:05:30He can't live here!
00:05:31But, Dad!
00:05:31The Sterling can't be broken!
00:05:32That's enough!
00:05:34Jude, kneel and show your gratitude.
00:05:38Wait, there's no need for that.
00:05:40It is, after all, the right thing to do.
00:05:50All these years, you kept me like a dog.
00:05:52And yet, you have the nerve to call this mercy?
00:05:57What?
00:05:58What is he saying?
00:06:00Well...
00:06:01What does he mean by that?
00:06:03You kept me like a dog all these years.
00:06:05Jude!
00:06:06How dare you speak like that!
00:06:08A dog!
00:06:09At least he knows his place.
00:06:12Must you twist every single thing so viciously?
00:06:14The only reason why I'm even offering you a place is because you're my grandson and we're
00:06:19bound by blood so you don't have to wander out there like a stray.
00:06:23I am the prodigy that heaven itself ordained.
00:06:26This isn't your mercy.
00:06:27It's my mercy to let you kneel.
00:06:30I didn't come back here to join your family.
00:06:33I'm here to get justice for my mother.
00:06:35Every last sterling should grovel before my mom's tomb.
00:06:41What?
00:06:41What did he just say to me?
00:06:44Ugh.
00:06:48What did he just say to me?
00:06:51What does he mean by that?
00:06:55He's telling us that it's already late and he wishes to rest.
00:06:59I'm sorry, but I can't afford to lose this job.
00:07:05Indeed.
00:07:07It's late.
00:07:08Time passed by so quickly.
00:07:09Lydia?
00:07:11Take him to his room.
00:07:13Right away, sir.
00:07:14Sir, this way, please.
00:07:17Not even a bow?
00:07:18Did the countryside erase every bit of your manners as well?
00:07:24You're in no position to tell me that.
00:07:30He says he'll remember to bow next time.
00:07:34My silent cultivation will end in two days.
00:07:36Otherwise, I curse you to hell.
00:07:39Hold it.
00:07:40At the princess' upcoming banquet,
00:07:43every noble will be watching.
00:07:44Prince Althor values cultural refinement above everything else.
00:07:48Also, if I'm not mistaken,
00:07:51the banquet will include a literary duel
00:07:54among the noble heirs.
00:07:56Grandpa, why are you wasting your breath on a peasant?
00:07:59Does he even know the classical virtues?
00:08:01Or the way scholars duel?
00:08:03Keep your mouth shut.
00:08:06I am well aware
00:08:07that you were raised
00:08:08without any sense of culture or education.
00:08:11That is why
00:08:11a tutor will begin instructing 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 of your enemies
00:08:26might somehow be counted as calligraphy.
00:08:28Did you hear what I said?
00:08:30Tomorrow your lessons will begin.
00:08:32I expect you to study hard.
00:08:34Don't humiliate us.
00:08:38What's he up to?
00:08:40Huh?
00:08:40He knows calligraphy?
00:08:41That's impossible.
00:08:42But he's mute.
00:08:44He only went to some charity school.
00:08:46He had no proper education.
00:08:50These are the five principles.
00:08:52Raise, press, hook, support, and resist.
00:08:56Fingers firm.
00:08:57Your palm must remain hollow.
00:08:58Your wrist must be level as water
00:09:01and the brush straight as a ruler.
00:09:03Do you understand?
00:09:04It will take you a lifetime
00:09:05to grasp these five principles.
00:09:07So this is how the five principles
00:09:09my mother taught me actually work.
00:09:11This requires decades of dedicated practice.
00:09:15And yet,
00:09:16he's only ten years old.
00:09:21A pearl.
00:09:23Keen as a falcon sigh.
00:09:24Fierce as a rearing stallion.
00:09:26What a masterpiece.
00:09:28Cast into the mud.
00:09:29My son's master calligraphy.
00:09:31His brush source.
00:09:32Hitting the paper like a warhorse.
00:09:35Yet,
00:09:36they dare to.
00:09:41Mock its radiance.
00:09:52A pearl cast into the mud.
00:09:54Yet,
00:09:55they dare
00:09:56to mock its radiance.
00:09:58Why does this handwriting
00:09:59look so familiar to me?
00:10:01He's basically calling us ignorant.
00:10:03He's implying he's the pearl
00:10:05and we're ignorant
00:10:06to not see his true worth.
00:10:08Absolutely ridiculous.
00:10:09What an arrogant kid.
00:10:12Go home and rest
00:10:13as you wish.
00:10:20This writing
00:10:21feels so familiar.
00:10:24Where have I seen this before?
00:10:27Benjamin,
00:10:28wake up.
00:10:29Look at this.
00:10:29This one
00:10:30is the princess treasured fragment.
00:10:32Charlemagne surviving work.
00:10:34He only gave us three days.
00:10:35Observe it carefully
00:10:36or our relatives
00:10:37will take it.
00:10:38Mother,
00:10:39what is this?
00:10:40I've never seen this before.
00:10:42That's Carolingian minuscule.
00:10:44It's created
00:10:44thanks to Emperor Charlemagne.
00:10:46It means clear
00:10:47graceful and it's...
00:10:49How dare you take this?
00:10:51The princess treasure
00:10:51is far above your station.
00:10:53It is not for you to see.
00:10:55No!
00:10:56Someone as wretched as you
00:10:58shouldn't even aspire to that.
00:11:00I'm sorry.
00:11:05Benjamin,
00:11:06how much did you memorize?
00:11:11I'm sorry.
00:11:12I'm sorry.
00:11:12I'm sorry.
00:11:13I'm sorry.
00:11:13I'm sorry.
00:11:14But that kid
00:11:15is only 10 years old.
00:11:17Could it be
00:11:17that he is the prodigy
00:11:19the prophecy spoke of?
00:11:28The study.
00:11:29They managed to make it look
00:11:31almost respectable.
00:11:35Allow me
00:11:36to educate you
00:11:38on the proper ways
00:11:38to handle
00:11:39scholarly tools.
00:11:41This exquisite
00:11:41mahogany desk
00:11:43cost no less than a million
00:11:44and was crafted
00:11:45by the best hands.
00:11:46Behold,
00:11:48our severus inkstand,
00:11:49swan feather quills,
00:11:50and Flemish parchment.
00:11:52Just so you know,
00:11:53these few treasures alone
00:11:55prove that our family's
00:11:56impeccable taste
00:11:57has spanned generations.
00:12:00Did that amuse you?
00:12:02It's nothing but
00:12:04a fake parchment.
00:12:05What swan feather
00:12:07is she talking about?
00:12:08This is nothing but
00:12:09dog hair.
00:12:10These are just
00:12:11cheap bristles
00:12:11created for cheap men
00:12:13to use.
00:12:13But I'll have to admit,
00:12:15this inkstand is genuine.
00:12:17Two out of four are fakes.
00:12:19That's truly remarkable.
00:12:21Such impeccable taste.
00:12:23He can't even name
00:12:24these treasures.
00:12:25What a savage.
00:12:28Sir,
00:12:29let's pray
00:12:30that your brain
00:12:31survives your tutoring tomorrow.
00:12:33It would be unwise
00:12:34to waste
00:12:35your grandpa's generosity.
00:12:36Also,
00:12:37as for the tutor
00:12:38that they hired for you,
00:12:40he is one
00:12:42of the great minds.
00:12:43Be sure not to waste it.
00:12:45And remember
00:12:46to treasure
00:12:47this opportunity
00:12:48tomorrow.
00:12:54The sterling household
00:12:56is full of
00:12:57illiterate masters
00:12:58and bowing,
00:12:59groveling servants.
00:13:00They boast of
00:13:01noble heritage
00:13:02and impeccable taste.
00:13:07You've got to be kidding me.
00:13:09Had I not been
00:13:10bound by my oath,
00:13:11a solemn vow of silence,
00:13:14I would have
00:13:15slayed them alive
00:13:15with my words.
00:13:19Mrs. Wilkins,
00:13:20is he
00:13:21asleep now?
00:13:22What's wrong?
00:13:23He suddenly slapped me
00:13:24right after I showed him
00:13:25the way to the main hall.
00:13:27Please stand up for me,
00:13:28Mrs. Wilkins.
00:13:29That mute brat
00:13:29attacked me.
00:13:30What?
00:13:30How dare he?
00:13:32Don't worry.
00:13:33I'll inform
00:13:33Mr. Sterling.
00:13:34Thank you,
00:13:35Mrs. Wilkins.
00:13:36He's nothing but
00:13:37a lowly mutt
00:13:38from the fields,
00:13:39and he dares to
00:13:40strike those above him?
00:13:41Just wait.
00:13:42We'll see what'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?
00:13:49Are you talking about
00:13:51Mr. Henry Clay,
00:13:52who used to mentor
00:13:53Master Sean?
00:13:54Yes,
00:13:54that was him.
00:13:55His temper is legendary,
00:13:56and wow,
00:13:57he's in it for tomorrow.
00:13:59I've never met
00:14:00Mr. Clay myself.
00:14:01He's the literary
00:14:02titan of Soloraine.
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.
00:14:23This is killing me.
00:14:29There's something
00:14:30divine in the air,
00:14:31and it's definitely
00:14:32coming somewhere near.
00:14:34I can feel that hunger.
00:14:36Like a black hole,
00:14:38his cultivation
00:14:39is draining
00:14:39every ounce of life
00:14:40from the whole
00:14:41surrounding region.
00:14:42I was fortunate
00:14:43to withdraw my energy
00:14:44in time,
00:14:45or the devouring force
00:14:47would have claimed me.
00:14:49Your Highness!
00:14:50That's Mr. Jensen
00:14:50in 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
00:14:58and was badly hurt!
00:14:59He 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!
00:15:13His power surpasses
00:15:15mortal limits.
00:15:16Teetering on demonic?
00:15:17How is it possible
00:15:18that such might
00:15:19still 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 power!
00:15:29I wonder
00:15:30if I can be
00:15:31ever truly worthy
00:15:32enough to witness him
00:15:33fully unveiled
00:15:34in all his glory!
00:15:36Toward the Sterlings!
00:15:38What kind of being?
00:15:39What kind of power
00:15:40could 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 possibly
00:15:49be connected
00:15:49to that existence?
00:15:50I am less than
00:15:52a mere worm
00:15:52when standing
00:15:53before such
00:15:53overwhelming power!
00:15:55I won't even
00:15:55think of 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!
00:16:26This boy is plain
00:16:28looking imbued!
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
00:16:33educate you!
00:16:35Or rather
00:16:36to teach you
00:16:38the alphabet!
00:16:39If he were
00:16:40in Borna Sterling
00:16:42he'd never get
00:16:43to encounter
00:16:43a literary genius
00:16:44like 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
00:16:53one of these books
00:16:53in 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 fifteen hours
00:17:01without rest!
00:17:02By the end
00:17:02you will have
00:17:03fully comprehended
00:17:04at least one
00:17:05entire volume!
00:17:06These are just
00:17:06children's primers!
00:17:08And this is
00:17:08the profound heritage
00:17:10they boast 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!
00:17:18But then
00:17:20Enough with
00:17:21your charades!
00:17:22Hurry!
00:17:23Pick one of these
00:17:24books in front of you!
00:17:27The Iliad
00:17:34What do you mean
00:17:35by that?
00:17:41Are you saying
00:17:43that not a single
00:17:44one appeals
00:17:44to you at all?
00:17:46Listen child
00:17:47these are all
00:17:49Don't tell me
00:17:50you actually
00:17:51expect to study
00:17:52them all?
00:17:53Let me tell you
00:17:54even ants
00:17:54cannot move mountains
00:17:56even two days
00:17:56still won't be enough
00:17:58Then what do you mean?
00:18:00Stop toying with me!
00:18:01I'm one of Solorane's
00:18:02ten literary titans!
00:18:04Were it not for
00:18:04the Sterlings you-
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
00:18:21decades to master?
00:18:23I had already
00:18:24mastered all of this
00:18:25by the time
00:18:26I was three
00:18:27Lines flow free
00:18:28no rigid rows
00:18:29Grace found in chaos
00:18:30bone strokes
00:18:31tans
00:18:31The 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
00:18:38controlled yet elegant
00:18:39To truly reach
00:18:41the mastery of this craft
00:18:42one must first conquer
00:18:43both gothic
00:18:44and cursive styles
00:18:45yet somehow
00:18:46Now it's fallen into the hands
00:18:49of a mute child
00:18:51Now you choose silence?
00:18:56A backwater mute?
00:18:58Possessing imperial grade calligraphy?
00:19:01What utter nonsense!
00:19:02It's true
00:19:03Your writing is impressive
00:19:04But do you really
00:19:06expect me to believe
00:19:07that you mastered
00:19:08all of these three?
00:19:09I find it hard to believe
00:19:11Very well
00:19:12Let's see you prove it
00:19:18In Plutarch's
00:19:19Parallel Lives
00:19:20Which Roman general
00:19:21boldly crossed the Rubicon
00:19:22declaring
00:19:23The tie is cast
00:19:24Do you know that?
00:19:26Now tell me
00:19:27Against whom did he wage
00:19:28this great civil war?
00:19:31Julius
00:19:34Caesar
00:19:39He waged his civil war
00:19:41Against 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
00:19:57From Cicero
00:19:58Or Tempora
00:19:59Or Moris
00:20:00From Cotillian Marians
00:20:02Denouncing Catelyn's
00:20:03Conspiracy
00:20:04Which speech was it?
00:20:04The first Cotillianarian
00:20:06He breathes the classics
00:20:08Fortune favors the bold
00:20:10Whose famous words are these?
00:20:12Write it down
00:20:13Virgil's Aenid
00:20:15Dulce at the Coral Mass
00:20:17To die for one's country
00:20:18Pro patria mori
00:20:19How about
00:20:21The art of living
00:20:22Is more like
00:20:23The wrestlers
00:20:23Than the dancers
00:20:25This boy's a real
00:20:26Protegate
00:20:26Who first refused
00:20:28To fight in the Iliad?
00:20:30Achilles
00:20:31The greatest warrior
00:20:32He chose pride over war
00:20:35Who leads
00:20:37Aeneas
00:20:38Through the Underworld?
00:20:40The Sibyl
00:20:41Of Cule
00:20:46What you've done
00:20:47Goes well beyond
00:20:48The limits
00:20:49Of the syllabus
00:20:49This is truly
00:20:51Next level
00:20:51Homeric wisdom
00:20:55I'm unworthy to be your teacher
00:20:57Your wisdom and talent
00:20:58Are far beyond mine
00:21:00You mentioned earlier
00:21:01That you've memorized all these
00:21:03By the age of three
00:21:04I believe that
00:21:05Your brilliance is on another level
00:21:08You should be the one teaching me
00:21:09What three years old
00:21:10I wasn't talking about this life
00:21:12I'm talking about a life long ago
00:21:16I must be off
00:21:20I was supposed to scorn
00:21:21The whispers of wisdom
00:21:22Divine wisdom
00:21:24Met my eyes today
00:21:25Jude Sterling
00:21:26After tomorrow
00:21:27Your name will echo
00:21:29Across the entire city
00:21:30You absolutely have to attend
00:21:32The princess feast tomorrow
00:21:34His name will echo
00:21:35Across the city?
00:21:36That means
00:21:38Tomorrow at the banquet
00:21:40That will be his defining moment
00:21:49The italic script
00:21:51Is this the piece he wrote?
00:21:53Even his italic writing
00:21:54Seems to dance on paper
00:21:56His skills are otherworldly
00:21:58Crowned with confidence
00:22:00I'm finding it hard to believe
00:22:01That he's ever been mute
00:22:03Hello sir
00:22:06Frame this
00:22:07Just like the one from last night
00:22:08Use a gold frame
00:22:10Plays it in the study
00:22:13This writing floats gracefully
00:22:15Yet cuts really deep
00:22:16Sir
00:22:16Such mastery takes decades to achieve
00:22:19Who could possibly create such artistry?
00:22:37Dad
00:22:38Jude won't be able to learn in time
00:22:40Even Mr. Clay
00:22:41Gave up while trying to teach him this morning
00:22:43That's true dad
00:22:44Mr. Clay refused to instruct him
00:22:46The servants reported to me
00:22:48That they saw the tutor
00:22:48Left Jude study by noon
00:22:51Dad
00:22:52How about
00:22:53We don't let him attend tomorrow
00:22:55He's going to make fools out of us
00:22:57In front of everyone
00:22:57This is settled
00:22:58Enough with that topic
00:23:00Because the child
00:23:01Will have to be there
00:23:06The wind is howling strangely
00:23:08That's true
00:23:09Let me close the door
00:23:27That recluse again
00:23:28He resumes his cultivation
00:23:31I don't know why
00:23:33But I've been getting this feeling
00:23:35What is it?
00:23:37I can sense that
00:23:39Our meeting with the powerful being is drawing near
00:23:42Are you sure?
00:23:44So Jensen has finally won their approval
00:23:47What about me?
00:23:50Where does that leave me?
00:23:58Soon
00:23:59Almost there
00:24:07Done at last
00:24:13Trinity ground
00:24:14My breakthrough's done
00:24:15I've transcended
00:24:17Trinity conversions achieved at age 10
00:24:19I've matched my past life's peak
00:24:21I read the celestial signs
00:24:23The hollow fryer of legend
00:24:24Has returned
00:24:33By the grace of his holy light
00:24:36What's taking him so long?
00:24:38Where is he?
00:24:39Grandpa
00:24:40This feast is of the highest importance
00:24:42Must we really be held up by that mute?
00:24:44Exactly
00:24:44Nothing will change even if he won't go with us today
00:24:46She's right dad
00:24:47The other nobles will mock us
00:24:49If we parade a mute in front of everyone
00:24:50Besides
00:24:51He's been raised in the countryside
00:24:53He lacks all cultured grace
00:24:55Nobles always judge first by one's refinement and wit
00:24:57He goes
00:24:58And that's why I'm
00:24:59But
00:25:00Grandpa
00:25:01In just one day
00:25:02This extraordinary talent has shattered my expectations
00:25:05I was a fool to scorn the whispers of wisdom
00:25:08Divine wisdom met my eyes today
00:25:10You absolutely have to attend
00:25:12The prince's feast tomorrow
00:25:14This time perhaps Jude may astonish all the noble guests
00:25:19The entire sterling clan
00:25:21And even the prince
00:25:23Move it sir
00:25:24Hurry
00:25:25Why do you walk so slowly?
00:25:28Hurry Jude
00:25:36All right
00:25:37Everyone's here
00:25:39Let's go to the princess manor
00:25:47Sean
00:25:47All literary elites will attend the prince's birthday today
00:25:51Ten years of effort has led you to this moment
00:25:53It's been far too long
00:25:54It has finally come
00:25:56All noble houses will assemble
00:25:57I expect you to completely stun every single one of them in the scholarly duel
00:26:01Besides
00:26:02Mr. Clay is your former mentor
00:26:04I'm very sure that he will back you up during the duel
00:26:07Your success in that duel will shine like a favorable light on Mr. Clay
00:26:10In front of the royalty
00:26:15Jude
00:26:16Today's feast is merely a ceremony
00:26:18What matters the most is the intellectual contest they will be holding
00:26:22As I have predicted
00:26:23Your cousin Sean will try to stun everyone
00:26:26Ten years of effort has led you to this moment
00:26:28You see
00:26:29When your father retires
00:26:31Your cousin Sean will be the head of the sterling family
00:26:33But you are still the sterling heir's apparent
00:26:36Your uncle fears your claim
00:26:38Once Sean gets the position
00:26:40He'll exile you for sure
00:26:41Unless
00:26:42The prince acknowledges you
00:26:44However
00:26:45That won't happen
00:26:47I can't bear the thought of seeing you
00:26:48Be exiled once more Jude
00:26:51For many years
00:26:53I've prepared for this moment
00:26:55Just heed me this once
00:26:57Starting now
00:26:58Humble yourself
00:27:00Trail Sean like a servant
00:27:02And remember your place
00:27:03Today he'll be meeting literary giants
00:27:06Perhaps you'll even have an audience with the prince today
00:27:09Stick close to him
00:27:10You'll at least get 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
00:27:27You can speak now
00:27:31You're not a mute
00:27:32Indeed
00:27:33I never was
00:27:42What do you want from us?
00:27:46Oh well
00:27:47You'll know soon enough
00:28:04Mr. Reeves
00:28:05Thank you for coming
00:28:06And this must be
00:28:07He's the literary comet
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
00:28:18The sterling's heir
00:28:19A mute kid
00:28:20Wills diverse script styles
00:28:22And by ten
00:28:23Has already mastered
00:28:24All the classical works
00:28:25And even outdone you?
00:28:27That's impossible
00:28:28Ten years old
00:28:29He couldn't have mastered that
00:28:31Unless
00:28:32He started studying
00:28:34While still in the womb
00:28:35Or this hearsay
00:28:37I dismiss it
00:28:39Honestly
00:28:40It'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
00:28:48Their eternal blessings
00:28:49Philip Reeves?
00:28:51That reclusive prodigy
00:28:52Graces us
00:28:53He may soon stand
00:28:54Among Soloran's
00:28:55Literary masters
00:28:56Ah
00:28:57My brilliant student at last
00:28:58Master
00:29:00I hope you are well
00:29:06And respects to Mr. Cole
00:29:07And Mr. Turner
00:29:08He is a true gentleman indeed
00:29:10Bearing of a classical scholar
00:29:14The house of sterling has arrived
00:29:16Coming to wish the prince
00:29:18Enduring prosperity and honor
00:29:20They're finally here
00:29:21Come let's go
00:29:22Let's go greet the sterling family together
00:29:24I'll be the one to judge myself
00:29:25What sort of prodigy he truly is
00:29:28What's so special about the sterlings?
00:29:29Why would the great scholars greet them?
00:29:32Surely they're not going there
00:29:33To greet that Sean Sterling
00:29:34He's a complete imbecile
00:29:35I wonder who
00:29:36They have no one else but Sean
00:29:38And he's totally useless
00:29:39Mr. Sterling
00:29:40It's been too long
00:29:41Finally
00:29:42Yesterday was just a warm up
00:29:44Yet his brilliance was clear
00:29:46Even in that brief moment
00:29:47Today on the grand stage
00:29:49He will awe the Soloran
00:29:51With this divine presence
00:29:52I told you Jude
00:29:54Your name will carry like a mighty roar
00:29:56Throughout of Soloran
00:29:57So what if you're mute?
00:29:59Where's Anthony?
00:30:00What's taking so long?
00:30:01No idea
00:30:02No matter
00:30:03Let's go in
00:30:08My reputation truly carries this much weight now
00:30:11The three literary giants together with these powerful high lords
00:30:15They're all here just for me
00:30:16I raised the great sun
00:30:18Only the princess yet to arrive
00:30:22Sir Jensen
00:30:24I have this strange feeling
00:30:26Me too your highness
00:30:28He's getting close
00:30:30I can sense it
00:30:32That powerful presence is nearing
00:30:34It's getting closer by the second
00:30:37Prince Southar
00:30:38Mr. Jensen
00:30:39Where is everyone?
00:30:40The Sterlings are here
00:30:41Mr. Clay and the other masters went to welcome them
00:30:44Even the others have followed
00:30:45The Sterlings?
00:30:49In that case
00:30:50We shouldn't miss this
00:30:58Mr. Clay
00:30:59Mr. Barrett
00:31:00Mr. Turner
00:31:01You honor me too much
00:31:02You flatter me
00:31:08Dad
00:31:08What's going on?
00:31:09Dad, what was that?
00:31:12There he is
00:31:19That's Jude Sterling
00:31:20He has the dignity of a true gentleman
00:31:26It's rare for a kid in these times
00:31:29But wait
00:31:30Who is Jude?
00:31:31Who is he?
00:31:31They say they cast him out as a child
00:31:34But that brat
00:31:35Has never spoken a word
00:31:36Sam
00:31:37Does Sterling mute air?
00:31:39Jude Sterling's here?
00:31:40They're all gathered here for Jude
00:31:42We've been waiting for you
00:31:44Hail to Prince Southar
00:31:48The Prince has arrived
00:31:50Hail to Prince Southar
00:31:51May your highness reign with greatness for millennia
00:31:54Hail to Prince Southar
00:31:57May your highness reign with greatness for millennia
00:32:00Hail to Prince Southar
00:32:06Hey Jude
00:32:07On 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?
00:32:27Is he trying to get us all killed?
00:32:41Are you Prince Southar?
00:32:45Are you Prince Southar?
00:32:49Wasn't he mute?
00:32:50What?
00:32:50Why is he speaking?
00:32:51He's not a mute
00:32:52Impossible
00:32:52The grandson
00:32:53Wasn't he the mute one?
00:32:55How dare you?
00:32:55Get down on your knees for the prince
00:32:58We're doomed
00:32:59Your highness
00:32:59We renounced him years ago
00:33:01He's not our kin
00:33:02We're not related
00:33:07Step back
00:33:07But your highness
00:33:09Step back
00:33:10As you wish
00:33:14He never holds back
00:33:16Rise now
00:33:17All of you
00:33:18Thank you your highness
00:33:19Mr. Jensen and I
00:33:21Heard that Mr. Clay
00:33:22Brought everyone out here
00:33:23To greet you personally
00:33:25Once you arrive
00:33:25So we thought
00:33:26We had to see
00:33:28What the commotion
00:33:29Is all about
00:33:29There is no need
00:33:30For 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
00:33:40Like an immortal master
00:33:42Every technique
00:33:43Aged to perfection
00:33:44He moves with
00:33:46The grace of masters
00:33:48A ten year old boy
00:33:49Like an immortal
00:33:50Mr. Clay
00:33:51Your arithmetic
00:33:52Is failing you now
00:33:55Not just that
00:33:56He's also astonishingly learned
00:33:58A walking library
00:33:59A walking library?
00:34:02Mr. Clay
00:34:03Age must have dulled your mind
00:34:05Are you seriously claiming
00:34:06That a child's babble
00:34:08Counts as philosophy now?
00:34:09Maybe next time
00:34:10You'll claim
00:34:10That he invented writing
00:34:13He's gone crazy
00:34:17Mr. Clay
00:34:18Age must have
00:34:20Dulled your mind
00:34:21I saw it with my own eyes
00:34:22I warn you not to judge him
00:34:24By his youth
00:34:24Of all the scholars
00:34:25I've met
00:34:26He alone possesses
00:34:27The greatest literary genius
00:34:29Like a demon
00:34:33Mr. Clay
00:34:36I know that you wish
00:34:37To impress the prince today
00:34:38But this has gone
00:34:39From ambition
00:34:39To outright madness
00:34:40Don't you think so?
00:34:42Silence!
00:34:42Yes, master
00:34:46Benjamin
00:34:47Mr. Clay claims
00:34:49That your grandson
00:34:49Is exceptional
00:34:50Is this all true?
00:34:53No
00:34:53Careful, your highness
00:34:54It's clear that
00:34:55Brad is putting on an act
00:34:56Mr. Clay
00:34:57Must have been tricked by him
00:34:58John, shut up!
00:35:00I'm ashamed to be your teacher
00:35:01You're blind not to see
00:35:03His brilliance
00:35:03Master
00:35:03Silence!
00:35:04If you had even
00:35:05A tenth of Jude's talent
00:35:06You'd dominate
00:35:07The literary world
00:35:09What?
00:35:10A tenth of his talent?
00:35:11Mr. Clay's gone mad
00:35:12He lost his senses
00:35:14How 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
00:35:22Let the literary duels decide
00:35:24Since Mr. Clay
00:35:25Speaks so highly
00:35:26Of your abilities
00:35:27Why don't you fight
00:35:28For your family's honor
00:35:29June Sterling
00:35:32Represent the house of Sterling?
00:35:34What makes them worthy
00:35:35Of my efforts?
00:35:36No way
00:35:37Absolutely not
00:35:40He'll humiliate all of us
00:35:41I'm the genius of our house
00:35:43The undisputed genius
00:35:45Of our generation
00:35:46I've prepared for this contest
00:35:48For many years
00:35:49But what about him?
00:35:50A pathetic mute
00:35:51Why 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
00:35:58Mr. Clay has spoken
00:36:03You're not even
00:36:04One-tenth of Jude's wisdom
00:36:08Grandpa
00:36:09But I
00:36:10By sunset
00:36:11You will understand
00:36:14We'll follow
00:36:15The princess commands
00:36:16I too believe
00:36:18That Jude
00:36:19Can redefine
00:36:19What genius truly means
00:36:21He'll show everyone
00:36:22Or just bluffing
00:36:23What?
00:36:24Redefine?
00:36:24Ridiculous
00:36:25They'll just embarrass themselves
00:36:27I haven't agreed to anything
00:36:30Please Jude
00:36:31Will you just do as you're cold?
00:36:38Good
00:36:38There is just one last thing
00:36:40I want to know
00:36:42Everyone knows
00:36:43That you are a mute
00:36:44So why is it
00:36:45That you can
00:36:46All of a sudden
00:36:47Speak now
00:36:48Tell me
00:36:49How come you suddenly changed?
00:36:56If you mess this up
00:36:57That'll be considered
00:36:58As treason
00:37:04It just
00:37:05Happened suddenly
00:37:09How peculiar
00:37:10Must we stand here?
00:37:12My legs are aching
00:37:15Did you hear that?
00:37:16Jude Sterling even lacks
00:37:18Basic manners
00:37:19Who would dare
00:37:19Complaint for loyalty
00:37:20The kid has no
00:37:21Matters at all
00:37:22That's because he was raised
00:37:22In the village
00:37:23He's with a new throne
00:37:24To the mountains
00:37:25This is embarrassing
00:37:27Alright
00:37:27That's enough
00:37:29Everyone
00:37:30Let's head to the hall
00:37:35Everyone
00:37:36Let's head to the hall
00:37:44Nobody else has recognized it yet
00:37:46But I recognized your talent
00:37:48From the moment we met
00:37:50The other night
00:37:51We owe you and your mother
00:37:52For what both of you endured
00:37:54But now I need to rely on you
00:37:56The prince has kept our family
00:37:59At a distance for years
00:38:00We need to regain his attention
00:38:02But I'm not a Sterling
00:38:04Why do you think I would help you?
00:38:05Your last name's Sterling
00:38:07If it's about the name
00:38:08Then I'd be happy to change it now
00:38:11Call me Oren
00:38:27I am begging you
00:38:31In one condition
00:38:32Just name it
00:38:34Mom and I suffered out there
00:38:35For so many years
00:38:36I made it through
00:38:38But she?
00:38:39She endured endless suffering
00:38:41Until it killed her
00:38:42I didn't come back
00:38:43To join your Sterling family
00:38:45I'm here
00:38:46To demand justice
00:38:48For my mother
00:38:49So listen carefully
00:38:51If I win this contest
00:38:52You
00:38:54Benjamin Sterling
00:38:55And your whole household
00:38:56And even down to your family dog
00:38:59Will go to her grave
00:39:01And you all better show up
00:39:03You'll bow
00:39:04And confess
00:39:05How blind
00:39:07And foolish you all were
00:39:08What the hell are you saying?
00:39:10Dad
00:39:10Are you telling me
00:39:11That you were convinced
00:39:12That 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
00:39:28To your mom's grave
00:39:29We will all show our respect
00:39:32And admit
00:39:33That we were fools
00:39:35To throw you out
00:39:36Dad
00:39:36Grandpa
00:39:47I might not belong to this world
00:39:50But
00:39:50From the moment I came here
00:39:52I saw you as my mother
00:39:54Seven years ago
00:39:55They threw you out of the family
00:39:56Just because they came out mute
00:39:58Stop being lazy
00:39:59And get this mess cleaned up
00:40:00I'm sorry sir
00:40:01I made extra 50 bucks today
00:40:03You wanted the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle right?
00:40:05I'm still a thousand short
00:40:06But mama will get it for you soon
00:40:08Today
00:40:08I'll crush the Sterling family
00:40:10And I'll make sure that by tomorrow
00:40:12Their whole Sterling clan
00:40:14Will kneel before your grave
00:40:15And give respect
00:40:16They will all bow to you
00:40:18And admit
00:40:20That they were wrong
00:40:28I'm Jude Sterling
00:40:29Mom is sick
00:40:30She doesn't have much time left
00:40:32I've never called you dad before
00:40:34Dad
00:40:35Could you come see her?
00:40:47I'm so sorry
00:40:49I
00:40:49I won't be here anymore
00:40:52To see you sore
00:40:54You're just ten years old
00:40:56Just when you needed me most
00:40:58I
00:40:59I
00:41:13Mom
00:41:14Forgive me
00:41:15I'm not mute
00:41:16I'm sorry
00:41:17I just wish you could have heard my voice
00:41:19They want me back
00:41:20Therefore
00:41:21I'm going
00:41:22They threw you out
00:41:24Just like a piece of trash
00:41:26With no name and no rights
00:41:27I'll promise that I'll make them pay
00:41:31Every last Sterling
00:41:32Will have to kneel in mourning clothes
00:41:34In front of your grave
00:41:35You hear what I said?
00:41:36I'll force them
00:41:36Until they scream at themselves
00:41:38That they were fools
00:41:39That they've wronged you
00:41:42This is madness
00:41:43Grandpa
00:41:44Why the hell is he taking my spot?
00:41:46This was our last shot to prove ourselves
00:41:48And you just handed it to him
00:41:52Remember this day
00:41:53Because of my presence
00:41:54Today
00:41:55Will become the most glorious day
00:41:57Ever recorded in your family's history
00:42:01So watch carefully and see for yourself
00:42:03How I
00:42:04Jude Sterling
00:42:05Will elevate your status
00:42:06So far beyond anything
00:42:08You could ever imagine in your life
00:42:10Jude
00:42:11What are you saying?
00:42:12If your entire family
00:42:13Failed to keep the promises you gave me
00:42:15Then keep your eyes wide open
00:42:17And watch
00:42:17How I
00:42:18Jude Sterling
00:42:19Will personally bury
00:42:20Every one of you
00:42:21In the deepest
00:42:22Darkest
00:42:23Pits of damnation
00:42:24How dare you?
00:42:25Shut up!
00:42:26Jude Sterling
00:42:26You got a death wish?
00:42:28Jude!
00:42:30Heaven or hell
00:42:31Now where destiny hangs in the balance
00:42:33We'll see how a ten year old welp
00:42:36Can bring us glory in a day
00:42:38To elevate this family
00:42:39Or crush us into the darkest depths of damnation
00:42:43Grandpa!
00:42:44Let's go!
00:42:44Quickly!
00:42:45If destiny grants us a prodigy
00:42:48I promise to kneel at her grave
00:42:49Dad!
00:42:50Have you really lost your money?
00:42:51Dad!
00:42:51You're the Sterling Patriarch!
00:42:53Since when do you bow down to your son's wife's grave?
00:42:55Grandpa!
00:42:56This is total nonsense!
00:42:58A total nonsense?
00:42:59If he's the prodigy
00:43:00I don't care if I'm the Patriarch
00:43:05Did you feel that?
00:43:06When he moved towards us
00:43:08It's not a man
00:43:09But a force of nature
00:43:11And I felt a crushing
00:43:13Suffocating terror
00:43:14When the heavens rumbled and stirred last night
00:43:17I knew that it came from the Sterlings
00:43:19But
00:43:20I have never imagined
00:43:22What do we do now?
00:43:23He's really here
00:43:24But I am too scared to call him
00:43:26Skye's here
00:43:27But what if
00:43:28We are both mistaken
00:43:29The kid is still too young
00:43:30To have that power
00:43:32Attend your feast
00:43:33And you?
00:43:33I'll be calling the masters
00:43:35I'll rally them here
00:43:36I'm out of my depth
00:43:37Let the masters judge him
00:43:38To see if he's the real immortal
00:43:40And if he is?
00:43:42We'll bow to him, huh?
00:43:44Not everyone
00:43:45Could have the chance of meeting him
00:43:47If he weren't a kid
00:43:48I'd call him dad
00:43:49You should sue if I were you
00:43:51What?
00:44:11Dawnshire breed scholars
00:44:13Half of Solaren's greatest literary legends
00:44:16Were born and raised under our very skies
00:44:18And as your Prince Salthor
00:44:20I cherish each and every house's cultural legacy
00:44:23And today
00:44:24The eight great families stand firmly rooted
00:44:27In long and profound traditions of learning and intellect
00:44:30Every four years
00:44:31We assemble in the solemn tradition for the battle of wits
00:44:35A gathering meant to inspire the younger generations
00:44:38To achieve the highest standards of cultural excellence
00:44:41Here today
00:44:42In my 80th birthday banquet
00:44:45Love life and boundless fortune
00:44:47To you, Prince Salthor
00:44:49May you prosper through the ages
00:44:51Love you, Prince Salthor
00:44:54What an honor
00:44:55To have my birthday celebration coincide with the quadrennial battle of wits
00:45:00And today we're graced by three literary giants
00:45:03First to be honored is Henry Clay of the Calligraphy Society
00:45:07A master whose brushwork breathes vitality into paper
00:45:11Each stroke unfolding stories of the human soul
00:45:14Portraying emotions and truths that span the ages
00:45:18Next is Chester Barrett
00:45:20At 20, he composed The Untrammeled
00:45:23A work so profound and stirring
00:45:25That it is said to break hearts across the realms
00:45:28Leaving readers breathless with its brilliance
00:45:30You see him?
00:45:31He's my mentor
00:45:32And Master Miles Turner
00:45:33By the age of 29, he led Solaren's letters and offering council to emperors themselves
00:45:39Distilling the wisdom of millennia into insights that shaped the realm
00:45:43This gatherer's prestige is really unmatched
00:45:46We have half of Solaren's intellectual elite
00:45:48They're all here
00:45:49To be recognized here would make one's reputation
00:45:51Today, I will be hosting the Battle of Wit
00:45:54With the three masters as our judges
00:45:56In the previous contests we held
00:45:59We offered modest prizes, just a billion or two
00:46:02But today happens to be my birthday
00:46:04Therefore, the rewards must match the occasion
00:46:09Whoever wins first place in this intellectual duel
00:46:13Gets five billion in cash
00:46:15Five billion
00:46:19Five billion
00:46:20Five billion
00:46:20Five billion
00:46:21This is unreal
00:46:22You must win
00:46:22The prize is five billion
00:46:24That's more liquid wealth than the entire family ever has
00:46:27But that bastard stole Sean's place
00:46:29Now he's flaunting his wealth
00:46:31Truly a prodigy
00:46:33He is a ten-year-old
00:46:34The proper composure of an emperor
00:46:36And that is not all
00:46:38Should you emerge victorious today
00:46:41I will personally petition the throne to crown your house
00:46:44With the title of
00:46:48Dawnshire's Paramount Bloodline
00:46:51Paramount Bloodline
00:46:52Paramount Bloodline by Imperial mandate
00:46:54Total dominance over the Dawnshire's nobility
00:46:56No Dawnshire house has ever claimed this title
00:46:58I wonder who will get it this time
00:47:00If you lose, I'll break your legs myself
00:47:03Philip, you must win this duel
00:47:06Dad, no one outmatches me
00:47:11Except maybe him
00:47:15The Paramount Bloodline?
00:47:17Isn't this the very thing they were desperately craving?
00:47:20Yet this honor forces even the noble to drag themselves through hell for the name
00:47:24With one calculated move, they'd rock it to divine status
00:47:29Let's begin!
00:47:30Announce your numbers
00:47:31Confirm if all are present
00:47:32House Zeller, all present
00:47:34House Reeves, all present
00:47:36House Spencer, all present
00:47:37House Zink, all present
00:47:39House Stones, all present
00:47:40House Sterling, all present
00:47:42For the Battle of Wits, let the heir of every clan come forward
00:47:46Keith Wilkins of House Wilkins
00:47:48Philip Reeves of House Reeves
00:47:49Owen Hayes of House Hayes
00:47:51Ethan Spencer of House Spencer
00:47:52Rowan Stone of House Stone
00:47:53Morgan Zink of House Zink
00:47:55Killam Zeller of House Zeller
00:47:59Jude Sterling of House Sterling
00:48:03All right, let the battle begin
00:48:05And may each contender step forward
00:48:07This battle tests three essential skills
00:48:10First, Intellect
00:48:12Second, Erudition
00:48:13And third, Calligraphy
00:48:18Grandpa, this wait and see
00:48:20Choosing Jude over me will disgrace us
00:48:22Clearly, you underestimate your brother
00:48:24But he outshines you tenfold
00:48:26But that's absurd!
00:48:28Dad, I'm not buying any of it!
00:48:30Dad, now is not the right time to make all the worst decisions!
00:48:34Be patient
00:48:35Time will tell in the end
00:48:37Round one, Intellect
00:48:38Test your reflexes
00:48:39Master the couplet duel
00:48:41Survive the verse chain
00:48:42What?
00:48:43Couplets?
00:48:44We've never had that before
00:48:45I memorized everything except the couplets
00:48:46There's no way I'll survive this
00:48:48Who even studies couplets anymore?
00:48:50Even I can barely get through them
00:48:51I can only imagine
00:48:53How panicked the others might feel right now
00:48:56But not him?
00:48:59Round two
00:49:00Erudition
00:49:01It is to test your memory
00:49:02As well as the depth of your knowledge
00:49:04The masters will recite a classic
00:49:07And the challenge is for you to name its source
00:49:09Its history
00:49:10As well as the exact page where it is from
00:49:13Huh?
00:49:14I honestly thought the noble exams
00:49:16Would be nothing more than child's play
00:49:18But these are harsh rules
00:49:19How thrilling
00:49:21Truly
00:49:21Hold on
00:49:22So you're saying
00:49:23You expect us to know its history
00:49:25And the exact page where they got it from?
00:49:28Huh?
00:49:30What test is this?
00:49:31This battle is absurd
00:49:32This is madness
00:49:33Naming the book is hard enough
00:49:35Even for most scholars
00:49:36And now you're even demanding them to know the page numbers?
00:49:39Nobody can answer that
00:49:40At least I'm spared
00:49:42I won't survive in couplets
00:49:44And this
00:49:45I probably won't get one right
00:49:47At least humiliation isn't mine today
00:49:50Honored masters
00:49:51Doesn't this
00:49:52Seem to be a bit too difficult?
00:49:58The battles in the previous years
00:50:00They weren't so harsh
00:50:02But for today
00:50:03We've made it nearly impossible
00:50:05Why would you do that?
00:50:09Because
00:50:09This year's contest includes none other than Jude Sterling
00:50:13Him?
00:50:15Because of him?
00:50:16These impossible standards are tailored for him?
00:50:18What makes him so special?
00:50:19Can he actually do this?
00:50:20So this
00:50:21Is supposed to be my stage?
00:50:23Is his mastery truly so outstanding
00:50:26Just like they say?
00:50:27Round three
00:50:28Calligraphy
00:50:29This time it's ten distinct styles
00:50:31Master more styles
00:50:32Execute them well
00:50:33And you win
00:50:34What is wrong with you?
00:50:36You need three lifetimes to learn all of that
00:50:38You need ten years to master just one style
00:50:40But ten styles?
00:50:41They don't want anyone to win
00:50:43Prince Southdor
00:50:44Never really meant to pay that five billion to anybody
00:50:46No one can pass this battle
00:50:48Glad I'm not the one humiliated
00:50:49At least Jude volunteered to fall for all of us
00:50:53That makes no sense
00:50:54How so?
00:50:56Explain yourself then
00:50:57You want ten scripts at a time?
00:50:58It's impossible
00:50:59No mortal has that kind of skill
00:51:12You mean him?
00:51:14There's no way
00:51:15They're all just lying to us
00:51:16Enough with the chatter
00:51:18Let the battle begin
00:51:19Mr. Barret
00:51:20Do the honor
00:51:21Very well
00:51:22All right
00:51:23Here's your first challenge
00:51:25Today
00:51:26We honor the birthday of Prince Southdor
00:51:29So my first couplet
00:51:30Shall be for longevity
00:51:32Oh no
00:51:33Not just a couplet
00:51:34But a birthday couplet
00:51:36First line
00:51:37Eagle brings blessings
00:51:39By Emerald Streams
00:51:41Excellent
00:51:43Well played
00:51:44Well played
00:51:44Master Barret
00:51:45The outstanding young elites before us
00:51:47Are they not the same eagles Mr. Barret spoke of?
00:51:53The second line should mirror
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?
00:52:03Mr. Barret's merciless
00:52:05He started at this difficulty
00:52:08why is everybody quiet none of you knows i know that it is difficult but don't give up
00:52:15come on give it a try you should at least give it a try even if you fail at it
00:52:20that one is rather
00:52:21easy why the hesitation he's so arrogant we'll talk from someone who can't spell doom dude
00:52:31sterling right you didn't catch the full depth behind his couplet listen carefully it's not just
00:52:35about birthday celebrations it's all about us gift bearers we're the eagles and other than that
00:52:41you also have to know that griffin grants fortune through ancient oaks what griffin grants fortune
00:52:47exquisite that's perfection mr barrett called us eagles but jude sterling made prince southor
00:52:54the griffin that is brilliant that is the right answer indeed you're correct by emerald streams
00:53:02two through ancient oaks ego brings blessings to griffin grants fortune excellent he's gifted
00:53:10he's a genius perfect couplet oh he actually did it brilliant couplet wait but he's only 10 years old
00:53:19he barely tried answering yet he shames all of us in here he actually answered it blind luck he just
00:53:25got lucky jude sterling mr clay didn't just acknowledge you he showered you with praise
00:53:30such overflowing talent we doubted that in the beginning but now i can finally see why then i'll
00:53:38give the first line do you think you can complete it young man of course why wouldn't i
00:53:45our prince southor remains firmly in his prime as you see his martial prowess is undiminished
00:53:51it's only fair that he remains the focus of the challenge is that all right go ahead mr turner
00:53:57good jude sterling listen very carefully just wait a minute mr turner since when is this his private
00:54:04test yeah why is he the only one getting a challenge he was able to answer one that proves nothing
00:54:10but none of you will be able to answer it impossible so you're implying that we're not capable but he
00:54:16somehow is exactly sir turner do you really think the seven of us will lose to this child that's
00:54:22right then listen closely hold it and the first line is twice harvest moon's turn as silver crescent
00:54:31cast gentle shimmering glow this is even more difficult it sounds more difficult but it's deeper
00:54:40it's a numerical couple you must match both the theme as well as the math what's harvest moon
00:54:46and why does it turn twice how about that you've stumbled to answer it right mr turner he may have
00:54:53gotten us this time but that doesn't mean that he won this battle yeah that's true this one's trickier
00:54:58than the last i don't like cutting in but i've already given you ten full breaths to think
00:55:04if you still can't figure out the answer i will take my chance for i already know what it is
00:55:11you know
00:55:11the answer already then please go ahead as silver crescent cast gentle shimmering glow twice harvest moon's
00:55:22turn my answer is with gilded autumn's show double the stage's prime
00:55:33very well that's the one seriously there's no way that's two in a row another lucky guess
00:55:40how's that possible oh well very good that's a perfect match
00:55:46harvest moons to sage's prime crescent glow to autumn's show that's flawless a perfect match
00:55:59my turn listen jude ever since i left i've been knowing on this problem and it won't give me peace

00:56:39first line a hundred suns a temple up thousands of tiles hundreds of bricks

00:57:11see it now the sterling bloodline is legendary you're even more brilliant than i ever imagined
00:57:19here goes three long two short one palm upholds the heavens jude we're still dealing with numbers
00:57:25here but the trick is you have to read the pattern my answer is already he's got it again
00:57:33but the trick is you have to read the pattern my answer is six days shape creation four horsemen
00:57:39eight beatitudes you he's got it again now answer this one where water breeds worms it thickens
00:57:46where water breeds fish it feeds waters multiplied creek lake and endless sea time to level up the questions
00:57:54now you better prepare for linguistic acrobatics listen closely where root meets earth it anchors
00:58:02where tip meets sky it breaches woods compounded pine oak a towering forest but what even a sage

00:58:15one it's the ultimate one if you could answer it you will earn my respect you mean that one mr
00:58:22barrett

00:58:36to match ah this means that their pride's been pricked now they'll hit him with the impossible one to
00:58:41answer it's true jude answer quickly in the blink of an eye he's embarrassing all those older scholars
00:58:49unless they give a hard one i'm afraid they'll carry that shame forever father what would be the
00:58:55question i have no idea that if they all call it unsolvable then it's no child struggle
00:59:04i know that couplet if you can crack it i promise to call you my master i'm not interested to

01:02:40the
01:02:41answer then what was on your mind what's on my mind to reduce your legendary test to rubble until
01:02:46there's nothing left for you to boast about to rubble explain yourself i crafted five answers what
01:02:52this is not a timeless riddle from now on never use this for tests again you thought of five answers
01:02:59you're just wildly how dare you what five
01:03:04lotus leaf lilac lilt lake lichen the first answer that i gave you is roast root reed rush red rose
01:03:13last for the second answer moss mound maple mist misty meadow that fits he's right
01:03:21and for the third answer willow wood whitewood wild wheat the fourth answer will be bay beach broad

01:03:42what about it please take me i want to learn from you you want to learn from me i've never
01:03:51witnessed such a brilliant mind like yours you outshine the ancient that's crazy my god even mr
01:03:57barrett's bowing to him you really want to learn from me right now you still don't qualify
01:04:06what did you say that's way too cocky how dare you barrett even bowed to him and he turned him
01:04:12down
01:04:12who does it think he is mr barrett doesn't qualify how dare you who taught you that mr barrett kneeling
01:04:18to
01:04:18him this world has gone completely mad he actually refused him even if he said no he didn't have to
01:04:23say
01:04:23he doesn't qualify jude quit running your mouth unless mr jensen and i are blind we're looking at
01:04:30a true legend if that's the case then he really doesn't measure up maybe even i fall short of the
01:04:37standard as well can we finally move on to the next trial chester stand up you simply don't have the
01:04:44qualities that he requires and up the luna mount delegation will explain everything so you mean the
01:04:54solar rain's protectors the luna mounts according to legends even the emperor must train with them
01:04:59they work side by side with each other they're really dispatching the envoys i didn't know that the
01:05:07prince has this connection that even the luna mounts attend his birthday no way this can't be
01:05:14real grandpa what exactly is the luna mount they're what they call the real deities they wield so much
01:05:21power that even the royalty are forced to kneel they are mystics they actually exist they are in this
01:05:29world goodness me open your eyes there's more than just your little pond you know if luna mount ever
01:05:35considered taking me in who cares about inheritance arch sage would mean nothing all mortal achievements
01:05:41are dust before them every name fades to nothing in their shadow sean the luna mount rarely appears
01:05:48this is it this is your golden chance dad work your connections to reach them their simple approval
01:05:54could make you filthy rich even if you become their floor scrubber a servant any servant of theirs gets to
01:06:01equal treatment from the rich and even from the nobility what
01:06:09what luna mount from how they are acting they must be a mystic sect in this world how intriguing
01:06:28hello hank if he came all the way here just for nothing i'll skin you alive i wouldn't dare
01:06:33lie to the luna mounts prince south or and i we both felt it that suffocating pressure radiating from him
01:06:40the night before we saw him practicing devouring every spiritual energy in the city
01:06:46the entire city are you out of your mind that kind of power requires at least trinity convergence
01:06:51how could such a person exist that's why i asked you to come here to verify it
01:07:01our master is coming with after hearing this start preparing he'll arrive shortly yes
01:07:11fascinating draining the entire city's energy even if it's fake he's still a rogue mystic isn't he
01:07:19do you agree with me hank master andy is a boastful man well but if he really is
01:07:25a mystic like he says and only 10 years old perhaps i will mentor him myself and grant him this
01:07:33chance
01:07:33what master you'd actually taken the disciple you're on the verge of trinity convergence already trinity
01:07:40convergence the world believes that i'm close to achieving it yet it is a realm beyond the ordinary
01:07:49mortals only myths talk about it but other than those myths nobody else mentions it pentaforce dominion
01:07:58a realm of extraordinary ability but for me i won't i'll never touch it judas solved a couplet unsolved
01:08:08for ages i'd say there is no need to continue to the second trial indeed you're right though the first
01:08:17test
01:08:17measured intellect he's shown us extraordinary talents that makes him deserving of being the first
01:08:25place even at the second trial as well then further trials are simply pointless i totally agree with you
01:08:33bring the ink and brush
01:08:40how shall we conduct this honorable judges please decide if mr clay insists that he knows all the 10
01:08:49artistic styles of calligraphy let's see let him prove to us that he can actually write very well then
01:08:55let him demonstrate these 10 styles really that's impossible nobody does that yeah
01:09:03chester you're suggesting write the immortal creed for heaven establish virtue for mortal secure
01:09:12purposes for ancestors revive wisdom for eternity forges peace you have to write the immortal creed 10
01:09:20times and each of the times should be written in a different style this is clearly torture this feels
01:09:26targeted at jude then why are they involving us you're making fun of us i only know one style i
01:09:31know the
01:09:31gothic one 10 styles is humanly impossible silence jude do you accept jude do you accept why
01:09:42wouldn't i did he really master 10 well i can't do it i'm out however i refuse to believe he
01:09:49can do it
01:09:49nor do i i also yield so all of you behind him master i yield already i don't know 10
01:09:56let alone write them
01:09:58same count me out the trial is meaningless anyway it's tailored solely for him this was never a
01:10:04scholarly contest the tests they gave us were beyond any of us were just foil for him yes exactly this
01:10:10trial is completely meaningless and now you want us to write the sacred text in 10 different styles no human
01:10:17being can possibly know those 10 styles and how to write all of them unless
01:10:26such exquisite brush stroke
01:10:30his grip the ink flow impossibly steady he moves the brush like he has mastered it for decades
01:10:38that is just impeccable told you so you didn't believe he's disgustingly skilled
01:10:43now are you convinced yet he writes like he is the master of the brush
01:10:51careful
01:10:59the cursive script he's using the hardest style he even does the cursive so messy i can't read it like
01:11:06this philistine this isn't messy can't you feel the flow of his writing indeed can you see how each
01:11:11character's pulse as if the ink has a soul good such an excellent mastery
01:11:24be careful holding it the ink still wet
01:11:28the italic script
01:11:31the italic script i told you he knew that script not if you believe me this is the italic script
01:11:38each
01:11:38character breathes
01:11:46hanshel script is he for real indeed how does he know all of this
01:11:51prodigy
01:11:53absolute prodigy
01:11:55your mom once told me that even if they called you mute
01:11:58she always saw the genius in you at an early age
01:12:02i i believe that too but i lack the courage to speak up
01:12:14the
01:12:15clerical script is this clerical script
01:12:17it's authentic clerical script
01:12:18unbelievable he actually knows it
01:12:22so what if he knows it talent is nothing without backing the lunamounts are coming if i can win the
01:12:27lunamounts favor then i can still crush you into dirt jude
01:12:32a mute's a mute you'll forever be a broken child to me
01:12:36even with all your words you still look utterly helpless to me
01:12:43master disciple hank

01:12:51did he invent that wait it's carolingian minuscule what's that
01:12:59this is carolingian minuscule in charlemagne's era thin yet full-bodied he didn't just study it
01:13:06he actually mastered it you really are full of surprises
01:13:22enough with the writing
01:13:26after untral script and carolingian minuscule i knew it no one in this world can be a rival to you

01:26:45what did you say father let's go
01:26:47No.
01:26:54No.
01:27:11Jude!
01:27:16If I failed you, I hope you can still forgive me!
01:27:26Jude! It's me, your cousin! How about I work for you? We share the same blood, you know?
01:27:32Like it or not, you're still a sterling!
01:27:36Cousin! Wait for me! I'll go with you!
01:27:53Where is it? Where's my mom's grave?
01:28:00Where is it? Where's my mom's grave?
01:28:03Shut it! She was just your aunt! I'm your real mother!
01:28:07She raised me since childhood, as if I was her own!
01:28:11Besides, in my heart, she's always been my mom!
01:28:13If only I could do something, I would let Grandpa kick her out! You dragged me into this!
01:28:18Stop speaking nonsense! Your father orchestrated it because of the inheritance! I was only fooled by him!
01:28:23Stop lying, Dad!
01:28:24Lori was the daughter-in-law I always wanted! When she passed, I failed to mourn for her!
01:28:29Stop blaming everything on me, Dad! It deserves to be called my mom!
01:28:31Where in the world can we find her tomb? Will we ever find it? Our dear patriarch Jude won't even
01:28:37tell us where it is!
01:28:38We even came here to bow! But he says we're all unworthy! Unworthy or not, we must still bow in
01:28:45front of her grave!
01:28:46Three days with no leaves! We must find her grave! I wrote 10,000 words of apology! I just want
01:28:53to say in front of her grave! That we were wrong! That we were truly blind!
01:29:09What if we never find it? What if we failed to apologize? Jude will never ever forgive me then! You've
01:29:15all ruined my life!
01:29:17Can't even find a simple grave! What are you for? My future is rotting because of you! Mom! Where can
01:29:25we find you?
01:29:26We were blind! We were arrogant fools! Don't hurt you, Lori!
01:29:30We were blind! We were arrogant fools!
