My mother abandoned me, now i'm the strongest - FULL
Transcript
00:00I had an accident while I was still in the egg.
00:03My mother caught my father glancing at a maid.
00:05And in a rage, she used me as a weapon,
00:09throwing me at the maid to kill her.
00:11I hatched early, my magic core was damaged,
00:15and I turned into an ugly, bald, sickly phoenix.
00:19Because I was born broken,
00:21I couldn't even take human form until I was ten,
00:24which became my mother's greatest shame.
00:28She regretted everything,
00:30and often beat me black and blue.
00:34What kind of sin did I commit to birth such a stupid, worthless loser?
00:38Do you know how embarrassed I am?
00:41Why won't you just die?
00:42If you don't drop dead soon, you're going to be the death of me!
00:48She finally pulled out her sword to kill me.
00:51My father stopped her.
00:53Seraphina, she's not worth the trouble,
00:57but killing your own flesh and blood
00:59will make the whole magical world despise you,
01:01and you'll be punished.
01:02My mother finally calmed down, dropped the sword.
01:05I really don't know what to do.
01:07You have to think of something.
01:08Just looking at her makes me sick.
01:10Then let's send her far away.
01:12Out of sight, out of mind.
01:15It just so happened that Marnie,
01:17the owl who had served the family for a hundred years,
01:20was retiring to her hometown.
01:22My mother gave her three bags of crystals
01:24and dumped me on her.
01:26I don't care if she lives or dies.
01:27Just keep her away from me.
01:30Marnie looked at me, covered in scars,
01:33and decided to take me with her.
01:36Marnie, is mother angry with me?
01:39Come learn some skills with Marnie.
01:42Once you're strong and capable,
01:45your mother won't be mad anymore.
01:47At that time, we both thought that if I just got smarter and stronger,
01:52my mother would finally love me.
01:54I followed Marnie back to her home, the Blackwood Forest.
01:59Later, my parents had another phoenix.
02:02A healthy one.
02:03Perfect in every way.
02:05I often heard the magical creatures of Blackwood talking about my parents and my sister.
02:10They said my sister, Elena, was the greatest beauty of the phoenix clan,
02:15gifted, and took human form the moment she was born.
02:19Unlike me, I don't have a drop of magic, just stupid and slow.
02:23They also said my parents built a golden castle for my sister as a first birthday gift.
02:28They even spent millions of crystals to send her to St. Augustine Academy.
02:32She was destined to become a more powerful phoenix mage than my mother.
02:36Unlike me, a useless chicken.
02:39Maybe my parents made a mistake.
02:41Maybe I'm not even phoenix blood.
02:44Later, they laughed at me and threw stones at me.
02:47They hit me until I was covered in blood.
02:50Marnie had to rush out to chase them away.
02:52Hey, Sylvia, you are phoenix blood.
02:54You will become a powerful phoenix mage.
02:57Don't give up because of what others say.
02:59If you give up, that's when life truly ends.
03:02But among the people who hit me was the son of the Blackwood Lord.
03:06After offending the Lord, Marnie could no longer stay in her homeland,
03:09so she could only wander around everywhere with me.
03:13In order to help me transform earlier,
03:16Marnie took out all her savings
03:18and sent me to Pine Castle Academy to study.
03:21But my talent was truly too poor.
03:25Even a normal magic academy like Pine Castle would not accept me.
03:30Marnie went to the headmaster and traded her precious feather.
03:34That's how I became a part-time student at Pinehold Academy.
03:37But my magic core was severely damaged.
03:41And my spiritual power had never awakened,
03:45making learning extremely difficult.
03:47Even my mentor often shook his head and sighed at me.
03:51He told Marnie to give up early and not waste her effort.
03:54But Marnie refused to believe it.
03:57To prevent me from being expelled from the academy every night.
04:01But she personally taught me meditation,
04:04guided my magic,
04:06and transferred her own power to me.
04:08She traveled into dangerous magic realms
04:10to find rare potions that could repair my core.
04:14Many times she was seriously injured by beasts
04:16guarding the medicine,
04:18barely surviving.
04:19I was afraid of losing Marnie,
04:21so I begged her not to go anymore.
04:23I would rather be a useless fool forever.
04:25Don't say dust useless things.
04:27The more I look down on you,
04:29the more you must wait up.
04:30You need to prove them wrong.
04:32Sylvia,
04:33I can't stay with you forever.
04:35You must learn to survive in this magical world on your own.
04:39Why can't Marnie stay with me forever?
04:41She didn't answer,
04:42only sighed and fed me the potion.
04:45I didn't want Marnie to risk herself for me anymore,
04:47so I studied magic even harder,
04:49after I don't know how many years.
04:51I finally transformed.
04:54Even though I was still plain and ugly,
04:56I finally awakened my magic talent
04:58and became a formal junior student
05:01of Pine Castle Magic Academy.
05:03Our little phoenix is getting more and more beautiful.
05:06Marnie always said proudly,
05:08she worked even harder to find magic potions
05:11and rare materials for me,
05:12trying to repair my damaged magic pot.
05:15She still always came back injured.
05:18She never dreamed to me.
05:20The magical world is vast,
05:22and miracles happen all the time.
05:26If one day I become strong,
05:28will my parents love me like they love my sister?
05:30They will.
05:32Our Sylvia is so well behaved,
05:34who wouldn't love you?
05:36That night,
05:37Marnie borrowed a vision mirror from the headmaster.
05:39Through the door crack,
05:40I saw her talking to someone through the mirror.
05:43In the mirror,
05:44appeared a noble and elegant woman.
05:46She was combing the hair of a girl
05:48who looked somewhat like me.
05:50Her face showed a tenderness
05:51I didn't recognize from my memory.
05:53When Marnie asked to take me back
05:55to the phoenix homeland,
05:56her expression immediately changed.
05:59I've said it many times.
06:01I will not see her.
06:02Don't bother me with her anymore.
06:04I already consider I have no such daughter.
06:06She waved her hand
06:07and disappeared from the mirror.
06:09Only Marnie's tiered eyes
06:11were reflected in the glass.
06:13After that,
06:14I never mentioned my parents again,
06:16I thought.
06:17Having Marnie's love was enough.
06:21Since I successfully took human form,
06:24it felt like I suddenly understood everything.
06:27From a low-level mage
06:29to a top-tier mage,
06:30it only took me 100 years.
06:33I became the strongest student
06:34in the history of Pine Castle Magic Academy,
06:37just in time for the academy tournament.
06:40My mentor took me
06:42and the junior students with him.
06:44This was my first time
06:45leaving Pine Castle Island,
06:46and in hundreds of years.
06:48It was also the first time
06:50I saw my parents
06:51and my sister.
06:52When I saw my sister Elena,
06:54she was surrounded by people,
06:56smiling and chatting.
06:57My junior Mina looked at her,
06:59then at me,
06:59and asked,
07:00Sylvia?
07:02That St. Augustine female student,
07:05she looks a lot like you.
07:07Is she your relative?
07:08Before I could answer.
07:10You're really flattering yourself.
07:13How can a turkey be compared to a phoenix?
07:15How are they alike at all?
07:17Elena also turned her gaze toward me.
07:19She looked slightly surprised
07:21and confused.
07:22There was even a hint of grievance
07:24as she looked around for something.
07:26Suddenly,
07:27I felt a sharp,
07:29cold gaze behind me,
07:30and I turned around.
07:32I saw a face both unfamiliar
07:34and familiar.
07:36Elena's eyes lit up.
07:37She pushed through the crowd
07:38and threw herself into her arms.
07:41Mother!
07:42I thought you weren't coming.
07:44How could I?
07:45I would never miss
07:46any important moment of yours.
07:48My mother gently stroked
07:49her face with affection.
07:50I want to personally witness
07:52my little princess
07:54grow into the most outstanding mage
07:57in the magic world.
08:00Mother, do you know her?
08:02She looks just like me.
08:06Silly girl.
08:07How can you compare yourself
08:08to a lowly person?
08:10You are the noblest princess
08:11of the phoenix clan.
08:13There is only one princess
08:14of the phoenix clan,
08:16and that is my daughter,
08:19Elena.
08:20She held my sister's hand
08:21and walked toward the high platform
08:23without even looking at me again.
08:25I was left standing there,
08:27swallowed by the laughter around me.
08:29So shameless!
08:31A turkey actually dares
08:33to pretend to be a phoenix!
08:35Exposed personally by the queen!
08:37How embarrassing can that be?
08:38My juniors and seniors
08:40were also mocked together with me.
08:42I felt guilty
08:43and said softly,
08:44Don't argue with them.
08:46I'm not a phoenix princess anyway.
08:48What right does someone
08:49who isn't even acknowledged
08:50by her own mother
08:51have to call herself a princess?
08:53But I didn't expect my juniors
08:55to be so brave
08:56and argued fiercely with them.
08:59We've seen Sylvia's true form
09:01with our own eyes!
09:03She's a nine-tailed,
09:04golden flame phoenix!
09:06But the others simply didn't believe it.
09:07Prince Elena is the only
09:08rightful, phoenix heir.
09:10Your senior never even heard of her!
09:12The argument escalated
09:14from shouting
09:14into physical conflict.
09:16One disagreement
09:17and they started fighting.
09:19At that moment,
09:20the Grand Mentor Siders,
09:22who had been watching,
09:23finally stepped in
09:24and separated us.
09:25After seeing our academy badges,
09:27he said,
09:28Throw out all these troublemakers.
09:31And what about them?
09:32I pointed at the others
09:33who had also fought.
09:35The Grand Mentor frowned.
09:37His gaze turned sharp
09:38and an overwhelming pressure
09:40fell on me.
09:41Cold sweat instantly formed
09:43on my forehead,
09:44but I forced myself
09:45to stand straight
09:46and faced him.
09:47Your judgment is unfair.
09:49I don't accept it.
09:50He frowned slightly.
09:52In the end,
09:53Then all of you
09:55disqualified.
09:57Elena arrived
09:58and looked at Cyrus pleadingly,
10:00all pitiful and fragile.
10:02Mr. Cyrus,
10:04this all started
10:05because of me.
10:06Please show mercy
10:07and don't punish
10:08my classmates.
10:10This tournament
10:11only happens
10:12once every hundred years.
10:14If they miss it,
10:15they'll have to wait
10:15another hundred years.
10:17That punishment
10:18is too severe.
10:19She bowed deeply,
10:21her attitude sincere
10:22and humble.
10:24But from beginning to end,
10:26she never mentioned
10:27anyone from
10:28our Pine Castle Academy.
10:29Mentor Cyrus
10:30was clearly softened,
10:32and after hearing
10:33everyone say
10:33we were the ones
10:34who started it,
10:35he made a quick decision
10:36and ordered us
10:38to be thrown out.
10:39I refused to back down
10:41and shouted loudly,
10:43Wait!
10:44Mentor Cyrus!
10:46Please check
10:46the full record crystal
10:48and confirm
10:48who struck first.
10:50If the truth is unclear
10:51and we are punished anyway,
10:53then even if I have
10:55to go to court,
10:55I will seek justice.
10:57At that moment
10:58of stalemate,
10:59the Phoenix Queen
11:00stepped forward.
11:01She glanced at me
11:02with pure disgust.
11:05You impersonated
11:06my Phoenix Princess
11:08and caused public outrage.
11:10I already showed mercy
11:12by not punishing you.
11:13If you keep making trouble,
11:15I will not show you
11:17any mercy!
11:18And a blazing flame
11:19instantly ignited
11:20in front of me.
11:21It burned the edges
11:22of my new robe black.
11:24Just half an inch closer,
11:26flame would have killed me.
11:28Sylvia!
11:29Let's go!
11:30My junior was scared
11:31and pulled me back.
11:32I gently pulled her hand away
11:34and stepped forward,
11:35staring straight
11:36at the Phoenix Queen
11:37without fear.
11:38Are you trying to use
11:39your power to bully me,
11:40Queen of Phoenix?
11:44When did I ever
11:45impersonate a Phoenix Princess?
11:46If she dared to say
11:48I was impersonating,
11:49I would expose her lies
11:51in front of everyone.
11:52let the world see
11:53how she harmed
11:54her own child
11:55and abandoned me.
11:57She avoided my gaze,
11:59feeling guilty.
12:00A no-name academy
12:01like Pinus
12:02still wants to make a scene
12:03and gain attention?
12:06This academy competition
12:08is not a place
12:09for low-level mages
12:10to act wild.
12:11Even though fights
12:12are supposed to be controlled,
12:14there have been cases
12:15where people died
12:16on the arena.
12:20If you overestimate yourself,
12:23you will pay
12:24a heavy price.
12:26I looked straight
12:27at the Phoenix Queen.
12:28How about a bet,
12:30Queen of Phoenix?
12:31If I defeat
12:32your precious daughter,
12:33you publicly apologize to me.
12:36I admit it.
12:38I couldn't swallow
12:39this humiliation.
12:40She damaged
12:41my magic core,
12:43despised me,
12:44tortured me,
12:45and finally abandoned me.
12:47Now she insults me
12:48and humiliates me
12:49in public again.
12:50If she thinks
12:51I'm a useless fool,
12:52then I will make her
12:53see it clearly
12:54for herself.
12:55How this useless daughter
12:57defeats the princess
12:58she raised
12:59like a treasure.
13:00You're overestimating yourself.
13:02You won't even survive
13:03the first round,
13:04let alone beat Elena.
13:06Are you afraid
13:07to make the bet,
13:08Queen of Phoenix?
13:09Afraid your princess
13:10will lose to a nobody
13:11like me,
13:11a so-called turkey?
13:13Why would I be afraid
13:14of you?
13:15The Phoenix Queen sneered.
13:17Since you're looking
13:18for death,
13:18I won't stop you.
13:21But what if you lose?
13:24Then I will destroy
13:25my own magic core
13:26and cut all ties
13:27with you forever!
13:28Her pupils shrank violently.
13:30Confused gazes
13:31from the crowd
13:31fell on both of us
13:32as if they were beginning
13:34to understand something.
13:38Fine.
13:39I accept.
13:40Elena,
13:41if you meet her
13:42in the arena,
13:43show no mercy.
13:47In the end,
13:48we were still allowed
13:49to stay.
13:50But as the St. Augustine
13:52students left,
13:53In the first round
13:54of Chaos Battle,
13:55no one is allowed
13:55to touch anyone
13:56from Pinecast Academy.
13:57They are our prey
13:59from St. Odyssey.
14:01The Juniors were full of regret.
14:04Sylvia,
14:04we shouldn't have spoken up
14:05and caused trouble.
14:07What do we do now?
14:08They will definitely
14:09try to kill us.
14:10In the Magic Academy tournament,
14:12although killing
14:13is officially forbidden,
14:15during chaotic battles,
14:16magical power
14:17can easily spiral
14:18out of control.
14:19And deaths
14:20often happen.
14:21No one sympathizes
14:23with the losers.
14:24The path of magic
14:25is survival
14:26of the fittest.
14:27And anyone
14:28can fall
14:29at any time.
14:30This is the awareness
14:31every mage must have.
14:33Maybe we should
14:34just admit defeat
14:35and withdrawal.
14:37No more coward
14:38talk like that!
14:39No more coward
14:40talk like that!
14:41We will never run away!
14:45We cannot let
14:46Pinecrest Magic Academy
14:47become a joke
14:48in the entire magic world!
14:51Don't be afraid.
14:52Stay behind me.
14:53As long as I'm alive,
14:54no one will hurt you.
14:56Sylvia!
14:57It's all my fault!
14:58I should have held back
14:59and not argued with them!
15:00I knew they were
15:01all standing up for me.
15:02When the match began,
15:03as expected,
15:04the other academies
15:05deliberately avoided us.
15:07The St. Augustine students
15:08surrounded us.
15:09One of them said to Elena,
15:11Elena,
15:11just watch from the side.
15:13I'll take care of this
15:14group of trash for you.
15:16Elena stood there
15:17like a lucky mascot,
15:18protected by everyone.
15:19She also had no intention
15:21of acting in the first round.
15:22I set up a strong
15:24magical barrier
15:25to protect my juniors inside.
15:27Seeing me shielding them,
15:29All of you together
15:30don't stand a chance
15:31and you think you can fight alone?
15:33You're clearly ready to die!
15:35If that's the case,
15:36I'll grant your wish.
15:38Everyone step back.
15:39I alone am enough
15:40to deal with her.
15:43He froze for a moment,
15:44slightly dazed,
15:46but still raised his wand
15:47and attacked me.
15:48In the blink of an eye,
15:50I passed by him.
15:51The battle ended,
15:52so fast that no one
15:54even had time to react.
15:55The spectators
15:56were still confused.
15:58My opponent
15:58slowly fell to the ground,
16:00turned his head
16:01unwillingly to look at me,
16:03and then passed out.
16:04Only then
16:05did everyone
16:06finally react
16:07with rage.
16:09That witch
16:09must have used
16:10dirty tricks!
16:11Everyone be careful!
16:12Attack her together!
16:14I let out a slight sigh.
16:16Looks like this is going
16:17to take some effort.
16:18I removed the heavy
16:19gravity magic shackles
16:21I had worn on my hands
16:22and feet for years.
16:23My speed instantly
16:25reached the extreme.
16:26I don't have any lost,
16:28ancient,
16:28powerful magic,
16:29nor any noble inheritance.
16:31After 200 years
16:33of clumsy training,
16:34I only remembered
16:36one trick.
16:37In the world of magic,
16:38speed is everything.
16:40Facing more than 20 enemies,
16:42I turned into a shadow
16:43and moved through them.
16:45I knew they wouldn't
16:46give me many chances.
16:47Every attack
16:48had to be a clean hit.
16:50In a short moment,
16:51only 10 of them
16:52were still standing.
16:54This time,
16:54no one dared
16:55to underestimate me anymore.
16:57Countless eyes
16:58were focused on me.
16:59Some were impressed.
17:00Some were mocking.
17:02I felt an even colder
17:04killing intent
17:04from my opponents.
17:06Kill us!
17:08And they began
17:08forming a magic array.
17:10I refused to sit
17:11and wait for death
17:12and rushed straight
17:14into the center
17:14of the formation
17:15at lightning speed,
17:17disrupting me.
17:18But they reacted quickly
17:19and immediately changed
17:21the formation,
17:22trapping me inside.
17:23I felt a storm
17:24of windblades
17:25rushing toward me
17:26like a spiral.
17:27I had no choice
17:28but to reveal
17:29my true form,
17:30using Phoenix's
17:32sacred fire
17:32to form armor.
17:34I unleashed
17:35a violent flamestorm
17:36to counterattack.
17:38After a Phoenix cry,
17:39all the St. Augustine
17:41Academy students
17:41fell to the ground.
17:43The arena fell
17:44into terrifying silence.
17:46She really is a phoenix!
17:48A nine-tailed
17:49golden flame phoenix!
17:51Does the phoenix royal family
17:52have two princesses?
17:53Why have we never heard of this?
17:55I returned to human form
17:56and stood in front of Elena.
17:58For some reason,
17:59Elena suddenly cried out loudly,
18:02I am the only princess
18:03of the phoenix clan!
18:04She is fake!
18:05Then she revealed
18:06seven phoenix feather wands,
18:09the highest sacred artifact
18:10of the phoenix clan.
18:11The seven feathers
18:13activated at once,
18:14sending a destructive force
18:16straight toward me.
18:17Sylvia!
18:18I heard my junior
18:19screaming behind me.
18:20I didn't turn back.
18:22My eyes instinctively
18:24looked toward my mother
18:25sitting on the high platform.
18:27If I died,
18:27she would probably
18:29feel relieved.
18:30Just when everyone thought
18:31I was surely going to die,
18:33the seven phoenix feathers
18:35stopped right in front of me,
18:37only a hair's breadth away
18:38from piercing my body.
18:40Elena, don't let her go!
18:41She injured so many of us!
18:43If we don't kill her,
18:44what about St. Augustine's honor?
18:45Oh.
18:46They thought Elena
18:47didn't want to kill me.
18:49I quickly chanted
18:50a spell silently.
18:51The seven sacred artifacts
18:53suddenly reversed direction
18:54and flew toward Elena,
18:56surrounding her.
18:59In an instant,
19:00even the air
19:01seemed to freeze.
19:04Sylvia!
19:05It's amazing!
19:06Oh my God!
19:07Elena looked at me
19:08in disbelief.
19:09She desperately
19:10waved her wand,
19:12trying to regain her control,
19:13but it was useless.
19:17Just surrender.
19:23Sister,
19:24guess what mother
19:25will do if I get hurt?
19:30She threw herself back
19:32as if I had hit her,
19:33but my weapons
19:34were still inches away from her.
19:42Sylvia!
19:44Sylvia!
19:48My mother fired
19:49a massive wave of fire at me.
19:51I was sent flying
19:53and hit the ground,
19:54tasting blood.
19:57I could have dodged it,
19:59but I suddenly felt,
20:01this is fine.
20:02From now on,
20:04we're even.
20:06A wave of anger
20:08exploded around me.
20:09This is too much!
20:10This breaks the rules!
20:12This is unfair!
20:12Where is the judge?
20:13A senior stepped in!
20:14How can this still be a matter-
20:15The Phoenix Queen roared.
20:16What does it have to do with you?
20:18This bad girl
20:18tried to kill her own sister.
20:20As her mother,
20:21I'm just teaching her a lesson.
20:23That's only right!
20:28Oh.
20:29At this moment,
20:31she admitted I was her daughter again.
20:35Didn't stop her from hating me.
20:37If I had known earlier,
20:38I would have killed you.
20:41Where did you steal
20:42the Phoenix Clan's
20:43Sacred Wand spell from?
20:48Bring me the Holy Spring Water!
20:50Quickly!
20:51She immediately ordered
20:52Sacred Spring Water
20:53to be brought,
20:54cleansing the wand
20:55again and again.
20:56The Sacred Artifact
20:57has been touched by her!
20:59It's filthy!
21:00If Elena uses it again,
21:02she'll be contaminated
21:02by impurity!
21:04She finished speaking,
21:05holding her precious daughter,
21:07and flew away.
21:08All eyes in the arena
21:09fell on me,
21:10some full of sympathy
21:11and pity,
21:12others with disdain
21:14and mockery.
21:15The Phoenix Queen
21:16is so mean!
21:17Why would Sylvia
21:19is also this to her daughter!
21:22The junior schoolmate
21:24cried so hard,
21:25tears and snot
21:27all over her face.
21:28I just slowly got up,
21:30swallowed the blood
21:31in my mouth,
21:32and asked the judge
21:33standing at the side,
21:35Did I win?
21:36He froze for a second,
21:38then nodded hard.
21:40I smiled and thanked him,
21:42then released
21:42the magic barrier.
21:47The junior schoolmate
21:48ran over,
21:49hugged me,
21:49and cried loudly.
21:51Sylvia,
21:52if the Phoenix Queen
21:53doesn't want you,
21:54I do!
21:54I'll go home
21:55and tell my mom
21:56to adopt you!
21:56From now on,
21:57you're my big sissy!
21:58The others burst
21:59in her laughter.
22:02I couldn't help
22:03but laugh too,
22:04even though my eyes
22:05felt sore.
22:06This world is never
22:07short of people
22:08who love me.
22:09I won the Grand Championship
22:10with overwhelming strength.
22:12Alaric,
22:13the High Elder
22:14of St. Augustine Academy,
22:16personally presented
22:17my prize.
22:21Child,
22:22consider transferring
22:23to St. Alexgania.
22:24With your talent,
22:25you'll surely become
22:26a legendary mage
22:27before long.
22:30Thank you for the offer,
22:31but I already have a mentor.
22:37Excellent!
22:38You stay true to your roots
22:39and value loyalty.
22:40If you ever need help,
22:40come find me at St. Augustine.
22:41My juniors were overjoyed.
22:43They didn't want me to leave.
22:44I had long considered
22:45Pine Hill Academy home,
22:46mine and Marnie.
22:47The thought of Marnie
22:48made me desperate to return.
22:50Part of the championship prize
22:51was a blade
22:52of everlasting grass.
22:54I wanted to give it to Marnie,
22:56but when I got home,
22:57Marnie was gone.
23:00There were only a few lines
23:02on the table
23:02telling me to come
23:03to the Phoenix Castle
23:05to find her.
23:05I had a terrible gut feeling,
23:07and I rushed
23:08to the Phoenix Castle
23:09and move it.
23:16I haven't been back
23:18in centuries.
23:19This place is even more
23:20extravagant than before.
23:22They've added more palaces,
23:24and the most beautiful one
23:25is the Golden Palace
23:26where Elena lives.
23:27After waiting for a long time,
23:28I finally saw
23:30the Phoenix Emperor
23:30and Queen.
23:32Where is Marnie?
23:34Where are you hiding her?
23:37Such poor manners.
23:38You don't even greet
23:40your parents
23:40just caring about
23:41an old servant.
23:42Let it be.
23:43She's lived with that owl,
23:45Marnie, for years.
23:45They're bound to be close.
23:50Sylvia,
23:51your sister has been
23:53in an accident
23:53after losing to you.
23:54She's suffered trauma
23:55and magical instability,
23:56and her magic core
23:57is severely damaged.
23:58I hope you can show
23:59some sibling there
24:00and give her half
24:01of your magic core.
24:02Give half my magic core
24:04to her?
24:05Exactly.
24:06Our Phoenix Clan
24:07is different
24:08from other magical races.
24:09Our magic cores
24:10can regenerate
24:11and be reshaped.
24:12Especially your
24:13sacred soul core.
24:15You're the perfect example.
24:16Wasn't your core
24:17shattered at birth?
24:18And look,
24:19it grew back just fine.
24:20You can easily
24:21grow a new one.
24:23If your sister gets
24:24half of your sacred soul core,
24:26she'll have the most
24:27perfect foundation.
24:28He said it so matter-of-factly,
24:30as if he were asking me
24:31to share half a piece of candy.
24:33But that is my magic core.
24:35It's the core
24:35that Marnie spent
24:36hundreds of years
24:37risking her life
24:39countless times
24:40and suffering
24:40countless wounds
24:41just to help me heal
24:43piece by piece.
24:45I can't do that.
24:48You ungrateful wretch!
24:50You ungrateful wretch!
24:50Let him go!
24:52You ungrateful wretch!
24:57Let him go!
25:03If you hadn't defeated her
25:05at the championship
25:05and shattered her spirit,
25:07causing her magic
25:09to spiral out of control,
25:11would her core be damaged
25:12in the first place?
25:13You owe her this!
25:14If you won't give it to her,
25:15I'll rip your core out myself
25:16and give the whole thing to her!
25:18Don't forget I gave you life.
25:19Your core was something
25:20I bestowed upon you
25:21in the first place.
25:22In that moment,
25:24I finally understood.
25:26Any relationship in this world
25:28depends on a bond.
25:30She and I were never meant
25:32to have a mother-daughter connection.
25:34She doesn't love me,
25:36so I don't need
25:37to love her either.
25:38Where is Marna?
25:43She's dead.
25:46She's dead.
25:51Your mother is just saying
25:53that out of anger.
25:54Marnie is currently
25:55at the Golden Palace
25:56taking care of your sister.
25:57She also hopes you'll be willing
25:59to share half your magic core
26:00with her.
26:02I want to see Marnin first.
26:03If I don't see her,
26:05we have nothing to talk about.
26:06You've really grown some nerve!
26:09Is that any way
26:10to speak to your parents?
26:11I should have killed you
26:13with a single sword stroke
26:14back then!
26:17Why didn't you?
26:24Elena is still waiting
26:26to be saved.
26:29Now you, Sylvia.
26:31They told me to wait here,
26:32promising that Marnie
26:33would come to see me shortly.
26:40But the moment
26:41that imposter appeared,
26:42I knew
26:43she wasn't Marnie.
26:45Marnie would never look at me
26:47with such a stranger's gaze.
26:49And she certainly
26:50wouldn't start
26:51by trying to persuade me
26:52to hand over
26:53the magic core
26:54I'd sacrificed my life
26:55to build,
26:56just to gift it
26:57to the princess.
27:01Where is my Marnie?
27:04You foolish girl.
27:06Don't you recognize me?
27:10Hurry up,
27:11and cut out
27:11your magic core.
27:13Her Highness the Princess
27:14is waiting.
27:15Where is Marnie?
27:16What have you done to her?
27:20Silly child,
27:21I'm right here.
27:24She stubbornly insisted
27:26she was Marnie,
27:27but I had lost
27:28all patience.
27:29With a sharp flick
27:30of my wrist,
27:31I unleashed
27:32the true Phoenix fire,
27:34forcing her
27:35to reveal
27:36her true form.
27:38She shrieked
27:39for help.
27:40The Phoenix Emperor
27:42and Queen
27:42rushed in,
27:43physically restraining
27:45my frenzied attack.
27:52What have you done
27:53to her?
27:58If you return her
27:59to me safely,
28:01I will give
28:01half my magic core
28:03to Elena.
28:04I didn't care
28:04about the power.
28:06I didn't care
28:06about the cost.
28:07I just wanted
28:09Marnie back.
28:10I would give them
28:11everything,
28:12everything I had,
28:13if it meant
28:14she could be safe.
28:16The Phoenix Emperor
28:17avoids my eyes,
28:19and the Phoenix Empress
28:20gives a signal
28:21to the servants outside.
28:23She has so many wounds,
28:25still bleeding,
28:26dripping all the way
28:27across the floor.
28:28I call her name,
28:30but she can't even
28:31answer me anymore.
28:33Marnie,
28:35please wake up.
28:36I brought you
28:37the eternal herb,
28:38you're going to be okay.
28:39My hands shaking.
28:41Just open your mouth,
28:42Marnie.
28:46It's useless for her.
28:47Better to save it
28:48for your sister.
28:50Take this
28:50and give it to the princess.
28:52My eyes turn bloodshot
28:53as I look at her.
28:54Get back.
28:57I rush forward,
28:58trying to grab it back.
29:01A strong wind
29:03suddenly strikes
29:04from behind,
29:05but I don't feel anything.
29:07The moment I turn around,
29:09Marnie has shifted back
29:11into her true form.
29:12Wings spread wide,
29:15shielding me
29:15from behind.
29:25There's a massive hole
29:26in her chest.
29:27Quick, run.
29:30Go.
29:33Sylvia,
29:35you have to
29:36stay alive.
29:38You're not going
29:39anywhere today.
29:40Since you won't share
29:41half your magic core
29:42with your sister,
29:44then give it all back
29:45to me,
29:46along with your life.
29:48The Phoenix Empress
29:49tries to stop me.
29:50Marnie grabs onto her legs.
29:52Even after she's
29:53completely lost
29:54her spark of life,
29:56I run forward,
29:57not caring about
29:58anything else,
29:59though I have no idea
30:01where I can possibly
30:02go without Marnie.
30:03But I have to
30:04keep running.
30:05I can't die.
30:06I have to survive.
30:10I think of Elder Alaric
30:12of St. Austin.
30:15This Sylphina.
30:17Maybe he's the only one
30:19who can save me,
30:20but there's no way
30:21I can handle the Empress
30:22and the Emperor right now.
30:24St. Austin is too far.
30:26I'll never make it there.
30:29Not to mention
30:30the tens of thousands
30:31of guards
30:32in the Phoenix Castle,
30:33but the abyss
30:34of the fallen gods.
30:36It's just right
30:37around the corner.
30:44Two days later,
30:45you died in a
30:46a car accident
30:47from this world.
30:49It's no longer
30:49to be able to do this.
30:50I still want to ask
30:51if you've always
30:52so loved
30:53you really
30:53have to leave it
30:55a moment.
30:56Uh-huh.
