00:00:12.
00:00:12.
00:00:16.
00:00:17.
00:00:18.
00:00:18.
00:00:26Julian!
00:00:27I knew you'd come!
00:00:30The humans started a war!
00:00:33My whole family is gone!
00:00:38Yeah, I know.
00:00:40I'm the one who started it,
00:00:41and I'm the one who had your family killed.
00:00:44You're a mutant too.
00:00:45Why would you do this to us?
00:00:48God, you're stupid.
00:00:49I'm standing on the winning side.
00:00:51It's not that complicated.
00:00:52Wow!
00:00:53You said you'd marry me!
00:00:55You gave me this!
00:00:57You said it meant something!
00:00:58I followed him around like a lost puppy for years.
00:01:02If you hadn't put on that ability suppressor just to impress him,
00:01:05your electric power might have actually been able to save someone.
00:01:09My ability is S-Class?
00:01:11Then this collar?
00:01:12You said the blue stone would help me control my power!
00:01:16That's not an energy stone.
00:01:18It's null stone.
00:01:19Made specifically to shut abilities down.
00:01:22Every single day it's been draining you.
00:01:24Destroying you from the inside.
00:01:28You lied to me!
00:01:46You lied to me!
00:01:48S-Class doesn't matter when you're collared.
00:01:51Every time you push your power it floods your system with noxious resonates.
00:01:54So from day one there was never any love there, was there?
00:01:58You're still on that?
00:02:00Every single day of those seven years was something I had to survive.
00:02:04If it weren't for your father's name,
00:02:08I wouldn't have given you a second look.
00:02:09No!
00:02:23You had this coming.
00:02:27No!
00:02:34No!
00:02:36No!
00:02:43Leon!
00:02:46I was too late. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:03:27No. Stop. You're wasting your energy. There's nothing left to do.
00:03:39But if you're gone, what's any of this even for?
00:03:44Don't. You're the strongest blood ability user alive. You have to keep going. Our people still need you to fight.
00:03:56Aurora, I don't know how to make you get it. None of it means anything without you. It never did.
00:04:06You just never saw that.
00:04:10All those years, Dad kept bringing up Leon. Kept mentioning the engagement. Leon was always just there. Quietly, awkwardly there.
00:04:21And I threw that away chasing someone who never gave a damn about me. I wasted everything. My whole life.
00:04:32I was so blind. You were right there and I couldn't see it. And now it's too late.
00:04:46Leon. Before I go, do one last thing for me. Take off this collar. I don't want to die wearing
00:04:55it.
00:05:06Leon. If I could do it all over again, I'd choose you. I really would.
00:05:23God, you're stupid. Bloods your system with noxious resonance.
00:05:26I'm the one who had your family killed.
00:05:28Aurora!
00:05:32I'm alive. No wounds. No collar.
00:05:43Which means this is before Julian gave me the collar? This is seventh year practical ops class?
00:05:52I can still fix this. I can change everything.
00:06:02The blue stone gives basic suppression of the host's energy. The green stone is different. It actively feeds on the
00:06:07host's energy and releases harmful radiation.
00:06:10Long-term exposure causes irreversible damage.
00:06:13It's not an energy stone. It's null stone.
00:06:15Now, I'd like a student to come up and demonstrate.
00:06:22Aurora, you.
00:06:27Isn't she the worst student in the class?
00:06:30Great. Here we go again.
00:06:36Try not to fry it the second you touch it.
00:06:39I mean, if she actually pulls it off for once, I'll clap. I will.
00:06:46Now, release your current.
00:07:07She can't even float an apple. Like, what is she even doing up there?
00:07:12Can't hold a basic current steady?
00:07:14Yeah, no surprise there.
00:07:18Don't stop. Try again.
00:07:28What?
00:07:29Waiting for me to come fix it for you?
00:07:35You're still on that?
00:07:37Every single day of those seven years was something I had to survive.
00:07:41If it weren't for your father's name,
00:07:45I wouldn't have given you a second look.
00:07:54What?
00:07:56What?
00:07:56What?
00:07:58What?
00:07:58What?
00:07:59What?
00:08:00What?
00:08:01What?
00:08:01Aurora! Pull back!
00:08:17Ow!
00:08:20You fucked up again!
00:08:22Look what you did!
00:08:24Zero control, huh?
00:08:25Just leaking all over the place like a busted wire!
00:08:28She shouldn't even be enrolled here.
00:08:30Half-blood trash.
00:08:34Apologize to Serena!
00:08:35Now!
00:08:40Is she trying to pick a fight?
00:08:42Julian is the strongest ability user in the whole school!
00:08:45Julian said it himself.
00:08:46Victor Hale is grooming him as successor.
00:08:48He's set to inherit the whole Hale estate.
00:08:49Aurora's just some servant's kid.
00:08:50Victor Hale's successor, heir to the Hale estate, and I'm the servant's kid.
00:08:55Julian, you've really been out here telling people that?
00:08:58Stop making shit up!
00:08:59You heard Serena apologize to her right now!
00:09:01Julian, you're so sweet.
00:09:04You heard him apologize?
00:09:06He's basically the heir to the Hale family.
00:09:08Heir to the Hale family?
00:09:10You don't even know his last name.
00:09:12You know what?
00:09:13You're exhausting!
00:09:14You're not riding back with us today!
00:09:17She's different today.
00:09:18Something's off.
00:09:19You're not letting me ride with you?
00:09:21Julian, you've got it backwards.
00:09:23You're not riding with me.
00:09:30Where's she coming?
00:09:32No.
00:09:33No way.
00:09:36Is she serious right now?
00:09:38That's the Hale family airship!
00:09:40She just got on by herself before everyone else?
00:09:44She's not even going to wait for Julian, a servant's daughter just taking the wheel like
00:09:48she owns it?
00:09:49She should be expelled for this.
00:09:58Aurora, how come you're not waiting for Julian today?
00:10:03Julian who?
00:10:04His last name is Cross, not Hale.
00:10:06He's your son, Carl.
00:10:08Don't tell me you forgot that.
00:10:09My son is your private coach.
00:10:11The Hale family's always been generous.
00:10:13Surely you wouldn't make your coach walk all the way home?
00:10:17Everyone knows you're obsessed with my son.
00:10:20He snaps his fingers and you come running.
00:10:22Everything the Hale family has, it's only a matter of time before it's ours.
00:10:33You're a servant's kid!
00:10:35Get out of the pilot's seat!
00:10:36Now!
00:10:37Get down!
00:10:38You think you belong up there?
00:10:40What?
00:10:40You think you own it?
00:10:42Your airship?
00:10:44That's a pretty funny misunderstanding.
00:10:47Want me to clear it up for everyone right now?
00:10:51What is she doing?
00:10:52I have to get on this airlift in front of everyone.
00:10:54I can't let anyone find out I'm just the parking guy's son.
00:11:01Look, I'm not even mad anymore.
00:11:03I'll let it go.
00:11:04Aurora, is this really worth it?
00:11:07I don't need you to let anything go.
00:11:10And I'd really appreciate it if you stopped following me around.
00:11:13Are you kidding me right now?
00:11:15Julian, why are you still being nice to her?
00:11:20Get down!
00:11:24That's what you get!
00:11:26She really thought she was going to win that?
00:11:34Come on.
00:11:35She's not worth it.
00:11:40Good riddance.
00:11:41Blocking the way like she owns the place.
00:11:43Who does she think she is?
00:11:44Carl, do not clear them for departure.
00:11:48Miss, miss, are you quite done?
00:11:53Let's not keep Julian and Miss Vale waiting.
00:11:57I'll say this once more.
00:11:59If that airship leaves, you're not going to like what happens next.
00:12:02You're really worked up today.
00:12:04But once Julian comes back and says the right things, you'll drop it.
00:12:07You always do.
00:12:11See that?
00:12:13That's how it's done.
00:12:14It's not even your airship.
00:12:16Stop pretending.
00:12:19Dad, there's a staff member here at the academy, Carl Cross.
00:12:23He just authorized the departure of our private airship without permission.
00:12:26I think we should let him go.
00:12:28Effective immediately.
00:12:29Oh, sure.
00:12:31Nice story.
00:12:32Who's your dad?
00:12:33The principal?
00:12:33Is she about to say she owns the school too?
00:12:37You really think one phone call fixes this?
00:12:41Just watch.
00:12:51What happened?
00:12:53You literally just left.
00:12:54The academy forced a lockdown.
00:12:57System override.
00:13:00Carl Cross.
00:13:02For unauthorized eye shopping of private property, you're terminated.
00:13:06Effective immediately.
00:13:07No, that's not...
00:13:08There has to be a mistake.
00:13:10You had no authority over that airship.
00:13:12Get off me!
00:13:13I was doing my job!
00:13:14He actually got fired.
00:13:17One call and she just...
00:13:20I apologize that this happened on school grounds, Miss Hale.
00:13:23Your airship's access been fully restored.
00:13:28Aurora.
00:13:28You've actually pissed me off this time.
00:13:32Good.
00:13:33Get used to it.
00:13:37Good.
00:13:37Get used to it.
00:13:39This is just the beginning.
00:13:41Bye.
00:13:42Lord Julian.
00:13:58It's all still here.
00:14:00We still have a chance to fix this.
00:14:10Dad.
00:14:28Aurora!
00:14:33Without you, none of it means anything to me.
00:14:40Dad, Leon.
00:14:45Look at that. You actually used his name. Know that guy today?
00:14:49Aurora, you okay?
00:14:52I'm fine.
00:14:53Hasn't seen her fiancé in a while and she's already tearing up. Very telling.
00:14:58Dad, stop and maybe give us a little room?
00:15:03Oh, I see how it is. How it is, I'm being dismissed.
00:15:11Leon, would you want to have dinner with me tonight? Just us?
00:15:17I...
00:15:20Yeah, absolutely. Of course.
00:15:29You look nervous.
00:15:31Sorry. I just didn't expect you to invite me like this, out of nowhere.
00:15:36Leon Hart gets nervous? You don't even blink on the battlefield.
00:15:41You're way scarier than any battlefield.
00:15:43Oh, that came out wrong.
00:15:45No, it's fair. I wasn't exactly nice to you before.
00:15:50You're probably not used to this yet, are you?
00:15:54Well, you should get used to it.
00:15:56Because I want you around more.
00:15:58A lot more.
00:16:05Starting with...
00:16:06becoming my new coach.
00:16:09Are you serious?
00:16:11I...
00:16:12Aurora, who is this?
00:16:15Why are you sitting with him?
00:16:16Oh, glad you asked.
00:16:17This is Leon Hart, my new coach.
00:16:20Strongest bloody ability user alive.
00:16:22Pretty sure you've heard of him.
00:16:23Aurora.
00:16:24New coach?
00:16:25I'm your coach.
00:16:27If you let him anywhere near your training,
00:16:30I'm gone.
00:16:32Of course.
00:16:33She's just using me to get to Julian.
00:16:35Then go ahead.
00:16:37I knew you'd...
00:16:38Wait, what?
00:16:39I said I already have a new coach.
00:16:43I don't need you anymore.
00:16:44You can go.
00:16:46You...
00:16:47What?
00:16:47You heard me.
00:16:49Leave.
00:16:52You heard her.
00:16:53I'm her coach now.
00:16:57Something is seriously wrong with her today.
00:16:59I need to get this back under control.
00:17:01Come on, Aurora.
00:17:01I know you're mad about me and Serena.
00:17:03But there's nothing going on.
00:17:05We're just friends.
00:17:06Sure.
00:17:11I actually came tonight to give you something.
00:17:14Open it.
00:17:20It'll help stabilize your ability long term.
00:17:23And it's...
00:17:24I don't know.
00:17:25It means something.
00:17:26To me.
00:17:28To me.
00:17:31Every single day it's been draining you.
00:17:34Destroying you from the inside.
00:17:41Nobody else is going to deal with your ability the way I do.
00:17:44Here.
00:17:45Let me put it on.
00:17:47Don't!
00:17:51Relax.
00:17:51Back up.
00:17:52She's not interested.
00:18:05She's not interested.
00:18:07Aurora?
00:18:10Aurora.
00:18:15Once that collar is on, you can't take it off yourself.
00:18:18That's not exactly a romantic gift.
00:18:22Leon's got a point.
00:18:23I'm not putting that on.
00:18:25Not interested in being anyone's pet.
00:18:27That's rich.
00:18:28Coming from the girl who used to follow me around all day.
00:18:30Kind of hard to take seriously.
00:18:35Not yet.
00:18:36Julian, what you owe me goes way beyond just my life.
00:18:40And I'm going to get every single piece of it back.
00:18:47You actually came back?
00:18:49A servant's daughter kicks the owner off his own airship and just walks in like nothing happened?
00:18:54Aurora, do you seriously think you belong here?
00:18:57She got the academy to lock down the whole parking lot yesterday.
00:19:00Over Julian's airship?
00:19:01That's actually insane.
00:19:04Hold on.
00:19:05Who did you just call a servant?
00:19:07You.
00:19:08Everyone here knows it.
00:19:09Julian is the heir Mr. Hale personally picked.
00:19:12You're just one of the help.
00:19:14Okay, so let's get something straight.
00:19:15The real heir to the Hale estate is...
00:19:22Yeah?
00:19:23Who?
00:19:24Chloe, shut up.
00:19:28Perfect timing.
00:19:29Why don't you go ahead and clear that up?
00:19:32Right now, in front of everyone.
00:19:34Between the two of us, who's the servant and who's the heir?
00:19:40Aurora, are we done?
00:19:42Class is starting.
00:19:42I'm not doing this right now.
00:19:44Fine.
00:19:45I'm not in a rush to blow your cover today, Julian.
00:19:48There'll be plenty of opportunities.
00:19:51I can't let people start questioning who I am.
00:19:54I need to get them back on my side.
00:19:59Actually, since everyone's here, I'm throwing a birthday party at the Stellar Hotel this weekend.
00:20:04You're all invited.
00:20:05The Stellar Hotel?
00:20:07That's like the most exclusive place in the whole city!
00:20:09I heard you can't even get in the door for under a few hundred thousand!
00:20:12Julian, that's insane!
00:20:14You can just casually book a place like that?
00:20:16I heard Julian actually owns the Stellar Hotel.
00:20:19Of course he does!
00:20:20That's just how he operates.
00:20:22I knew it.
00:20:23Julian only wears the latest everything.
00:20:25There's no way he's broke.
00:20:27Aurora's out here in discount clothes trying to act like she runs the place.
00:20:30It's actually embarrassing.
00:20:32Julian's not usually one to make a big deal of things.
00:20:35But since we're all here, let's celebrate!
00:20:39Everyone's welcome.
00:20:41It's on me.
00:20:42He's covering everything?
00:20:44Seriously?
00:20:44This is why Mr. Hale picked him.
00:20:47Makes total sense.
00:20:48Last time around, I spent eight million on his birthday.
00:20:51Made him look incredible.
00:20:53Never got a thank you.
00:20:54Not doing that again.
00:21:01This is the place.
00:21:03I spent a fortune throwing Julian a birthday party here.
00:21:06And right when I was about to tell him how I felt, he kissed Serena in front of me.
00:21:10Julian, tonight I'm going to give you a birthday you actually won't forget.
00:21:15You seriously showed up?
00:21:17Julian hasn't looked at you in days and you're just crashing his birthday like it's nothing?
00:21:21It's a hotel.
00:21:23I can go wherever I want.
00:21:24Julian didn't even invite you!
00:21:26Are you Julian's dog or Serena's?
00:21:29Neither of them has said anything, so what are you barking for?
00:21:34I thought you said you weren't coming.
00:21:36Oh right, it's your birthday.
00:21:38Honestly almost forgot until I ran into you just now.
00:21:40What are you playing at?
00:21:41Is this about me not inviting you?
00:21:43Aurora, it's Julian's birthday.
00:21:46Don't start something.
00:21:47At the end of the day, you're just the daughter of his family's servant, so say that again.
00:21:51Who do you think you are?
00:21:53A servant's daughter putting her hands on her!
00:21:57You actually pushed me?
00:21:59I'll deal with you myself!
00:22:02Stop!
00:22:10What do you think you're doing?
00:22:13Enough!
00:22:15It's my birthday.
00:22:16Let's not make this a whole thing.
00:22:19Aurora, I'm not going to hold any of this against you.
00:22:22You said you'd come celebrate, right?
00:22:24Everyone's here.
00:22:25Don't make me look bad.
00:22:27So this party really matters to you.
00:22:29If I tank your whole rich kid reputation tonight, that'd hurt worse than anything else I could do, wouldn't it?
00:22:35Alright then, let's have some fun.
00:22:39Right, okay.
00:22:40It's your birthday, you want everyone to have a good time.
00:22:43I just remembered, I actually booked the best private room in the building for you.
00:22:48The Platinum Suite.
00:22:50You can go in whenever you're ready.
00:22:51You booked the Platinum Suite?
00:22:52Obviously, you care way too much about how things look.
00:22:56I wasn't going to let your birthday be embarrassing.
00:22:58There it is.
00:22:59Same old Aurora, talks big and still ends up spending money on me.
00:23:03Some things never change.
00:23:04That's more like it.
00:23:06Alright everyone, let's go.
00:23:12Okay, what are you up to?
00:23:14Think of it as my thank you for stepping in back there.
00:23:17You're about to watch something really good.
00:23:18I just need you to go along with it.
00:23:21Yeah, alright.
00:23:22I'm in.
00:23:23He's totally getting this one.
00:23:32Julian, come on.
00:23:34That bottle alone must be worth thousands.
00:23:36This room is actually unreal.
00:23:39This is what it looks like when you actually own the place.
00:23:42Order whatever you want.
00:23:43Tonight's on me.
00:23:46Julian, you're the best.
00:23:52Whatever you want, it's yours.
00:23:56Look at you, loving every second of this.
00:23:59When that bill hits the table, your face is going to be absolutely worth all of it.
00:24:02If that guy hadn't showed up out of nowhere earlier...
00:24:06Okay, but who even is he?
00:24:07He's not nobody.
00:24:08Right?
00:24:09There's something about him.
00:24:10Aurora brought some guy to make me jealous?
00:24:12Please.
00:24:14I can barely look at her as it is.
00:24:16Just so you know, this one glass probably costs more than your mom makes in a year.
00:24:20Wow, that much?
00:24:22Hope whoever's paying can actually cover it.
00:24:24Oh please, Julian's got the tab.
00:24:27Have whatever's left.
00:24:28Consider it a treat for the stray.
00:24:30She's not wrong.
00:24:31I ordered more than enough.
00:24:33Help yourself.
00:24:34The guy you brought, though, he's not included.
00:24:37Oh, so I'm not paying?
00:24:38That's great.
00:24:41Mr. Cross, here's tonight's bill.
00:24:43We'd like to settle it now if you don't mind.
00:24:46Hang on.
00:24:47Isn't this Julian's hotel?
00:24:49Why is the hotel charging its owner?
00:24:55Wasn't the room already taken care of?
00:24:57Owner's orders.
00:24:58Whoever buys, pays.
00:25:00Excuse me?
00:25:01This is Julian's hotel.
00:25:03You're seriously going to charge him?
00:25:05He could have you fired right now.
00:25:07Yeah, fire him!
00:25:09Miss, someone here seems to be trying to skip out on the bill and pass themselves off as the owner.
00:25:15Wait, who is he talking to?
00:25:17The owner?
00:25:17Aurora?
00:25:18No way!
00:25:19This hotel is Julian's family's.
00:25:21Everyone knows that!
00:25:24Funny how that works.
00:25:26You book the fanciest room in the building, let everyone eat and drink whatever they want, and somehow the bill
00:25:33ends up in front of me?
00:25:38Aurora, come on, just cover it and we move on.
00:25:41Don't do this to me right now.
00:25:45Not really my problem, is it?
00:25:48The Stellar Hotel.
00:25:49That's your family's, right?
00:25:51It is.
00:25:52Can I borrow it tonight?
00:25:53What are you planning?
00:25:54I'm going to act like I'm spending money on Julian, but I won't actually pay.
00:25:59When he's completely out of options, he'll have to come to me.
00:26:04Okay, that's actually pretty good.
00:26:07Here's an idea.
00:26:08Everyone just splits it.
00:26:10Pull it together, see what happens.
00:26:14Wait, split it ourselves?
00:26:16Didn't Julian say he was covering everything?
00:26:18Aurora, stop messing around and just pay it.
00:26:21You want a favor?
00:26:23Then ask like you mean it.
00:26:26Get on your knees and ask me nicely.
00:26:29Maybe I'll think about it.
00:26:33Are you being serious right now?
00:26:36Julian, you're not actually going to...
00:26:40Not going to do it?
00:26:42Fine.
00:26:44Leon, let's head out.
00:26:45Wait.
00:26:47Please.
00:26:56There we go.
00:26:59Manager, I've got the bill.
00:27:03Total, $8,600,000.
00:27:08Happy birthday, Julian.
00:27:10I'll cover it this time, but let's get one thing straight.
00:27:14I'm not here to bankroll you and your girlfriend.
00:27:16So he actually doesn't have money?
00:27:19He's just been faking this whole time?
00:27:21One more chance in front of everyone.
00:27:24Who's the owner and who's the servant?
00:27:26I'm done!
00:27:30Aurora, nobody has ever made me feel like this.
00:27:34You're going to pay for tonight.
00:27:36Every single bit of it.
00:27:37Oh, Julian.
00:27:38We're just getting started.
00:27:42Keep the frequency steady.
00:27:44Don't force it with emotion.
00:27:45Use your focus to control it.
00:27:47Stop.
00:27:48That's not working.
00:27:48I'm giving it everything I've got.
00:27:50Your power's not the issue.
00:27:52Your control is.
00:27:53Okay.
00:27:53One more time.
00:27:55Miss Haley, you're finally back.
00:27:57I've brought Julian today to apologize.
00:27:59Looks like you've got something to handle.
00:28:01We can pick this up tomorrow.
00:28:02See ya.
00:28:03Bye.
00:28:06An apology, Carl?
00:28:08What exactly did he do that needs an apology?
00:28:11Miss Haley, come on.
00:28:12I heard you let him go as your coach?
00:28:13Yeah, I did.
00:28:14Every session made my ability worse, not better.
00:28:16Why would I keep him around?
00:28:17And honestly, neither of you should be coming to the Hale Estate anymore.
00:28:20That goes for both of you.
00:28:21Miss Haley, I made a mistake last time.
00:28:23I know that.
00:28:23But your father and I go way back.
00:28:24You can't just cut me out like this.
00:28:26Are you done?
00:28:27Then go.
00:28:29What are you doing just standing there?
00:28:32Apologize to her!
00:28:33I'm drowning in debt and you know it.
00:28:35Just say sorry.
00:28:36Get her back on your side and everything the Hale family has will eventually be ours.
00:28:40All of it.
00:28:42Carl, you've been talking this whole time and your son hasn't said a word.
00:28:46I'm not feeling a whole lot of sincerity here.
00:28:50Apologize!
00:28:51Now!
00:28:52Why the hell should I?
00:28:53Because I said so!
00:29:05Okay, Carl, that's enough.
00:29:06Your stuff is already down in the basement.
00:29:08Go get it.
00:29:13Carl, don't even think about making the Hale family clean up your mess.
00:29:16Not this time.
00:29:18Aurora, you really covered Julian's whole tab last night?
00:29:22So all that money he throws around, that's been yours this whole time?
00:29:25We actually thought he was loaded.
00:29:27Go ask him.
00:29:28Not my story to tell.
00:29:31Aurora, what about me?
00:29:33I'm way easier to deal with than Julian, I promise.
00:29:36For real.
00:29:36If you could fund him, you could fund me.
00:29:44Shut up.
00:29:45All of you.
00:29:51Feeling good about yourself?
00:29:53You humiliated me in front of everyone?
00:29:55What, because I didn't pick you over Serena?
00:29:58The audacity to say that out loud.
00:30:01Incredible.
00:30:01Let me be straight with you, Aurora.
00:30:03It doesn't matter what you do.
00:30:04I'm never going to have feelings for you.
00:30:06You're stupid, fake, and you lie constantly.
00:30:10You're not even in the same league as Serena.
00:30:12Right?
00:30:13You showed up last night with some random guy,
00:30:15and now you want to act like you're the victim?
00:30:16Hang on.
00:30:18Julian's the one who couldn't pay his own bill last night.
00:30:20Yeah, so why is he making this her fault?
00:30:23She's the one who made me invite everyone in the first place.
00:30:25I didn't even want to go.
00:30:27And then she turned around and made everyone look stupid.
00:30:30Aurora, you think money gives you the right to do whatever you want of people?
00:30:33And all that stuff about supporting me?
00:30:35That was a coaching fee you already owed!
00:30:38A coaching fee?
00:30:40Really?
00:30:41Since the day you started, all you did was spend my money,
00:30:44tear me down, and drain my ability.
00:30:48Tell me one actually useful thing you ever did.
00:30:51You being bad at this has nothing to do with me.
00:30:53Your ability is weak because of what you are.
00:30:56A low-grade half-blood.
00:30:58That's not my problem.
00:31:00If you're so sure I'm a bad coach, fine.
00:31:03You've got a new one.
00:31:04Let's see what he can actually do.
00:31:06What does that mean?
00:31:07Are they seriously making a bet right now?
00:31:09Stability assessment.
00:31:11Score above 800, and I'll admit it was my fault.
00:31:16That's your idea of stakes?
00:31:18Why would anyone take that bet?
00:31:19What more do you want?
00:31:20Julian's literally putting himself on the line here!
00:31:24Fine.
00:31:25If I win, you put on a bra and a skirt, strap on energy restraint rings, and run 10 laps
00:31:30around the school.
00:31:32What more do you want?
00:31:34Julian's literally putting himself on the line here.
00:31:36Fine.
00:31:37If I win, you put on a bra and a skirt, strap on energy restraint rings, and run 10 laps
00:31:42around the school.
00:31:43And if I win?
00:31:45Same thing for me.
00:31:47Is she serious?
00:31:48She's going up against Julian on an ability assessment?
00:31:51800?
00:31:52She barely scrapes 400 on a good day.
00:31:55Sure.
00:31:56You're on.
00:31:56Last time around, I couldn't even do basic energy control.
00:31:59I wore Julian's collar and never made it anywhere near a battlefield.
00:32:12This time, I'm going to train until I'm strong enough to protect the people I love.
00:32:23Aurora.
00:32:26Dad, what are you doing here?
00:32:28Had some business at the school.
00:32:30Thought I'd take you home.
00:32:30Last time, you died right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do.
00:32:34That's never happening again.
00:32:36Okay, what's going on with you today?
00:32:38Nothing.
00:32:39All right, all right.
00:32:40Someone mess with you today?
00:32:42No.
00:32:42I've just been thinking.
00:32:44I'm done being at the bottom of the class.
00:32:46I want to actually train.
00:32:48Get my ability to where it should be.
00:32:50Yeah?
00:32:50You mean that?
00:32:55That's what I'm talking about.
00:32:56That's my girl.
00:32:57I want to be a girl.
00:33:00I want to be a girl.
00:33:04Wait!
00:33:05Who is that?
00:33:08That's just some old guy.
00:33:11Why is he so friendly with Aurora?
00:33:14Seriously?
00:33:15I've been wondering where all her money comes from.
00:33:17Guess that answers it.
00:33:18She's got a sugar daddy.
00:33:20That explains why Julian was never into her.
00:33:27I made a bet with Julian.
00:33:29Score above 800 on the semester assessment.
00:33:31Whoever loses has to wear restraint rings.
00:33:33I'll get you there.
00:33:34And honestly, your training's already showing.
00:33:36I can feel it.
00:33:38Really?
00:33:39I figured you'd say 800 was way out of reach for someone like me.
00:33:42You're not what they say you are.
00:33:44Your ability's been held back.
00:33:46That's not the same thing as being weak.
00:33:47He's right.
00:33:49Last time Julian chipped away at me bit by bit until I didn't even know what I was capable of
00:33:53anymore.
00:33:55Then I'm counting on you.
00:33:57Let's get to work.
00:34:04Again.
00:34:06Again.
00:34:11Again.
00:34:16Yes.
00:34:18That's it.
00:34:19Okay.
00:34:19We're moving to the next stage.
00:34:21God.
00:34:21He's actually excited about this.
00:34:23This is literally first year stuff.
00:34:30Don't force it.
00:34:32Just guide it.
00:34:37Easy.
00:34:38Easy.
00:34:38You've got it.
00:34:43There it is.
00:34:48Take them all out.
00:34:59Okay.
00:35:01Wow.
00:35:03You did it.
00:35:05I did.
00:35:08You've got a real shot at winning that bet now.
00:35:12I couldn't have gotten here without you.
00:35:15I genuinely didn't think I could do this.
00:35:18Leon is nothing like Julia.
00:35:21He's incredible at what he does.
00:35:23And he's still this patient and kind with me.
00:35:28Julian just called me stupid and tricked me into wearing a bunch of green millstone.
00:35:33You know, I've been thinking about it.
00:35:35Why was your ability stuck so low for so long?
00:35:38It really feels like something was deliberately suppressing it.
00:35:56Finally here to grab your stuff from the basement.
00:35:59Make sure you get everything.
00:36:01Feeling pretty good about this bet, huh, Aurora?
00:36:03Aurora, you really think a new training partner is going to be enough?
00:36:06You're not going to hit 800.
00:36:08You never will.
00:36:09You seem really sure about that.
00:36:11Admit it, Aurora.
00:36:12This is just another way for you to get my attention and you know it.
00:36:15Your attention.
00:36:16Right.
00:36:17Actually, that reminds me of something.
00:36:27Take all of this with you two.
00:36:29I don't want any of it.
00:36:30I told you.
00:36:31Blue sapphire pieces are for stabilizing your ability.
00:36:35Surprise.
00:36:36I ran a restoration technique on them.
00:36:38Every single one is nudstone.
00:36:39All those times you called them stabilizers,
00:36:41you were actually using them to drain me and keep me weak.
00:36:44So I'd have no choice but to keep you around.
00:36:46Right?
00:36:47That's why her ability was stuck this whole time.
00:36:50It was you.
00:36:51Julian, that's fucked up.
00:36:55I don't know what you two are going on about.
00:36:57Take your shit and get out.
00:37:00Was that clear enough?
00:37:03Next up is the port coordination test.
00:37:05The rules are simple.
00:37:06Within the time limit,
00:37:07help the workers move your assigned containers from the ship to the target zone.
00:37:11Quantity, speed, and placement stability all count towards your score.
00:37:21Now this is a test worth showing up for.
00:37:32That's insane.
00:37:34That's Chloe for you.
00:37:55What is she doing?
00:37:56She hasn't moved a single one.
00:37:59What?
00:38:00Already lost control?
00:38:01Called it.
00:38:02She's the same as always.
00:38:04Showing up to embarrass herself in front of everyone?
00:38:07Honestly, kind of sad.
00:38:14You look completely lost.
00:38:16Let me help.
00:38:25You can't pull it.
00:38:27They're totally locked in place.
00:38:45She's moving the whole group at once?
00:38:48No.
00:38:49She's going to beat me.
00:38:52I am not losing to you!
00:39:03Chloe Maser, complete.
00:39:05See that?
00:39:06Done!
00:39:07You can stop with the theatrics!
00:39:16Who said you could touch my containers?
00:39:18Idiot.
00:39:19That container is filled with liquid stellar core fuel.
00:39:22It has to be stored upright.
00:39:24You flipped it in the rush.
00:39:2530 more seconds and the whole dock goes up.
00:39:27She's right!
00:39:28The alarm was already going off!
00:39:34No.
00:39:37That can't be right.
00:39:39Aurora, hail.
00:39:40Complete.
00:39:41Zero error.
00:39:42Zero risk.
00:39:42High at grade.
00:39:45So, how'd that go for everyone?
00:39:49Aurora's score for the park ordination test is...
00:39:52Perfect!
00:39:53Who's building a grid this whole time?
00:39:55She had every single target locked from the start.
00:39:58That's not possible.
00:39:58How did she just...
00:39:59Well, isn't this what you like?
00:40:02Watching me mess up?
00:40:10Settle down.
00:40:11The combined results for all ability assessments are in.
00:40:15Third place overall, Serena Vale.
00:40:18Serena only third?
00:40:19Then who's second?
00:40:21Second place?
00:40:22Julian Cross.
00:40:24How?
00:40:24Julian's always first!
00:40:26I'm not finished.
00:40:28First place overall...
00:40:33Aurora, hail.
00:40:35Composite grade, A percent.
00:40:38What?
00:40:40Aurora is first?
00:40:42She actually got an A plus?
00:40:46Catch that?
00:40:48A plus.
00:40:50Top of the class.
00:40:55I won.
00:40:57Julian, a bet's a bet.
00:40:59Bra, skirt, energy restraint rings.
00:41:02Ten laps around the school.
00:41:04Aurora, don't push it!
00:41:06So you hit an A?
00:41:07Big deal!
00:41:08You just got lucky once!
00:41:09Our bet was whether I could hit an A.
00:41:11I did.
00:41:11He lost.
00:41:12He owes a penalty.
00:41:14Lord Julian, don't tell me you can't take a loss.
00:41:17Aurora, we're all classmates.
00:41:19Do you have to take it this far?
00:41:21If you feel so bad for him, feel free to take the punishment in his place.
00:41:24You...
00:41:25You know what?
00:41:26I think you cheated.
00:41:27You used to be that bad, and lately you've been cozying up to that old man.
00:41:31When did you even have time to train?
00:41:32There's no way you improved that fast!
00:41:36Teacher, Aurora's improvement is too dramatic.
00:41:38I'm requesting she be examined.
00:41:40Do you have evidence?
00:41:41If not, shut your mouth.
00:41:43Otherwise, I'll file a defamation complaint, and you know what that means.
00:41:47A dead last student like you?
00:41:49Your old schools speak for themselves!
00:41:52You are getting examined today!
00:41:54Right!
00:41:55She must have a cheat device on her!
00:41:58Search her!
00:41:58If she didn't cheat, what's she afraid of?
00:42:01Fine.
00:42:01You want to check me?
00:42:03Go ahead.
00:42:04But then everyone who tested in the same session gets checked too.
00:42:06Especially you, Chloe.
00:42:09Why should I be checked?
00:42:10You're the one being reported!
00:42:11Burden of proof falls on the accuser.
00:42:14You're claiming I cheated?
00:42:15Fine.
00:42:16I agree to a search.
00:42:18But if there's a search, everyone who tested in the same session gets checked.
00:42:22Otherwise, how do we know who really tampered with things?
00:42:24How is she this sharp all of a sudden?
00:42:26It's like she's a completely different person.
00:42:28She has a point.
00:42:29In the interest of fairness, Aurora and Chloe both come with me to the examination room.
00:42:34Everyone else stays here.
00:42:37Now this is going to be interesting.
00:42:40Aurora.
00:42:41Chloe.
00:42:42Step up one at a time.
00:42:47Aurora.
00:42:48Clean.
00:42:51Chloe.
00:42:52You seem nervous.
00:42:59An energy transfer device.
00:43:01That's not mine!
00:43:02I don't know how it got there!
00:43:04Oh, really?
00:43:05It grew legs and crawled there on its own?
00:43:07During the test, someone used this to temporarily transfer energy to you, helping you complete the assessment.
00:43:14Isn't that right, Chloe?
00:43:15Looks like the real cheater isn't who everyone thought.
00:43:21That's an energy transfer device!
00:43:23So Aurora really did cheat!
00:43:25She'll do anything to win that bet!
00:43:28Quiet!
00:43:29Here's my ruling.
00:43:30The student who cheated was Chloe.
00:43:34What?
00:43:35It was Chloe?
00:43:36Nullified?
00:43:36Can she even graduate?
00:43:37A formal demarriage will be issued and her test scores are nullified.
00:43:42If you breathe a word about me, you're done.
00:43:46Now, does anyone else want to accuse me of cheating?
00:43:49Given that a cheat device was involved during the test, in the interest of fully settling this dispute,
00:43:53Aurora, are you willing to retest?
00:43:55Absolutely.
00:43:56And let a certain someone lose without any excuses.
00:44:00The retest will be defensive stabilization.
00:44:03Each tester protects their own core sphere.
00:44:06Fewer hits on the core within the time limit means a higher score.
00:44:10Aurora, Serena, begin.
00:44:16That's Serena for you!
00:44:18So precise!
00:44:20So elegant!
00:44:26I told you!
00:44:28She has no idea what she's doing.
00:44:30She's always been good at one thing.
00:44:32Messing up.
00:44:40I'd quit now if I were you.
00:44:54Serena, point deducted.
00:45:01Wait!
00:45:02All the trajectories have changed!
00:45:04They're all going in circles.
00:45:07Like they're locked onto an invisible track.
00:45:23Serena, point deducted.
00:45:25Serena, point deducted.
00:45:27How is this possible?
00:45:30The result of this test?
00:45:32Aurora wins.
00:45:34Her performance speaks for itself.
00:45:36No cheating involved.
00:45:40Now?
00:45:41Should we talk about our bet?
00:45:47Retest is done.
00:45:49I didn't cheat.
00:45:50Time to settle the bet.
00:45:51It's just one test.
00:45:53Do you have to be this relentless about it?
00:45:55Relentless?
00:45:56You're the ones who accused me of cheating and then got caught cheating yourselves.
00:45:59And now you won't pay up?
00:46:01Julian, bra and skirt, energy restraint rings, 15 burpees in front of the whole school,
00:46:06then 10 laps around the track.
00:46:08You apologize the entire time you run.
00:46:11In your dreams!
00:46:13Aurora, enough.
00:46:14Julian is still-
00:46:15Oh, right.
00:46:16You too.
00:46:17The teacher gave you a chance to make things right, but left your punishment up to me.
00:46:21You're joining Julian.
00:46:23No.
00:46:26Oh, Chloe.
00:46:28Since your loyalty to Julian is so deep, I'll allow it.
00:46:32You can run his 10 laps for him.
00:46:3410 laps?
00:46:35I'll die!
00:46:36Chloe, you're the one who started all of this.
00:46:38Julian got dragged into it trying to protect everyone.
00:46:41You want to make it easier on him, don't you?
00:46:42I-I-I go.
00:46:45Or I won't hesitate to expose every time I helped you cheat over the past few years.
00:46:52Don't try to use your ability.
00:46:54It'll only make it worse.
00:46:58She passed out!
00:47:00Get her to the nurse's office!
00:47:12Happy now?
00:47:14That look suits you, actually.
00:47:21Feeling any better?
00:47:24Aurora, we can't let her get away with this.
00:47:27She's always running around with that older man from outside school, right?
00:47:31A young girl suddenly hang around some older guy, suddenly flush with money.
00:47:36We all know what that means.
00:47:39You mean?
00:47:40All we need to do is find the right public moment to put it out there.
00:47:44It'll be quite the show.
00:47:55Aurora?
00:48:16Why aren't you in the training room?
00:48:19Training's on hold tonight.
00:48:21On hold?
00:48:21Because tonight, I'm celebrating your birthday.
00:48:26How did you know?
00:48:36That's...
00:48:41Leo, isn't it?
00:48:43Beautiful and perfect control.
00:48:48You can actually do this now.
00:48:51Congratulations.
00:48:52I mean it.
00:48:53Congratulations.
00:48:54This is...
00:48:55the best gift I've ever received.
00:48:59Then I need you to promise me something.
00:49:02Anything!
00:49:03Tomorrow, all our classmates are going to the beach.
00:49:07Will you come?
00:49:24Got another one!
00:49:26Aurora?
00:49:27Why is it always her?
00:49:30Don't lose your nerve.
00:49:31Win it back.
00:49:38Her ability is so unfair!
00:49:40Just a harmless little current.
00:49:41It won't hurt you.
00:49:43Feel free to use your light whip if you want.
00:49:46Again!
00:49:50Put away that useless whip!
00:49:52You can't manage your ability and play at the same time.
00:49:53You're just getting in the way.
00:49:54But Aurora can do it.
00:49:56When did she get this good?
00:49:58What?
00:50:09That's fast!
00:50:21You okay?
00:50:28Who is he?
00:50:30He's gorgeous!
00:50:32This scene!
00:50:33I can barely breathe!
00:50:37I'm fine.
00:50:40Let me handle him.
00:50:48He's unreal.
00:50:50How does Aurora know someone like him?
00:51:03How is anyone supposed to return that?
00:51:14That easy?
00:51:25He returned all of them?
00:51:27How is that possible?
00:51:30Julian's speed looks like child's play next to him.
00:51:42His rhythm is breaking down.
00:51:45Opening.
00:51:46On the left.
00:51:54Aurora.
00:52:08They won?
00:52:10That was brutal.
00:52:12You were incredible.
00:52:13Your reaction was fast enough too.
00:52:16Really?
00:52:21They are so in sync!
00:52:23That last mook!
00:52:26Aurora, drop the act.
00:52:28Everything you have, you won it because of a man, didn't you?
00:52:34Who was that old man who picked you up at school every day?
00:52:37Did you think no one noticed?
00:52:39Shut up.
00:52:40Sir, I'm saying this for your own good.
00:52:42Don't be fooled by her.
00:52:43She's not as innocent as she looks.
00:52:44She's just a servant's daughter who's happy to let some old guy pay her way.
00:52:49You actually hit me?
00:52:52Say it again.
00:52:53Go ahead.
00:52:54You actually hit me?
00:52:56That was the light version.
00:52:58Say one more thing against Aurora, and you won't be walking home today.
00:53:03That was too far.
00:53:05We're just worried about Aurora being taken advantage of.
00:53:08We were just reminding her, as friends.
00:53:11Your idea of reminding her is spreading filthy lies about her?
00:53:14But, isn't she the one chasing you?
00:53:17The more you know about her situation, the better.
00:53:20Let me clarify.
00:53:22Aurora is not chasing me.
00:53:23I'm the one pursuing her.
00:53:26Impossible!
00:53:27Why would you want her?
00:53:29She's already been with an old...
00:53:33I mean it.
00:53:36Yes.
00:53:36You can pursue me.
00:53:38Aurora!
00:53:39Done performing?
00:53:40You were nothing but a simp.
00:53:41The whole school saw how you chased me.
00:53:43Now you lash into someone new and pretend you're above it all?
00:53:46You think I can't see through this?
00:53:48You just want to make me jealous.
00:53:50Fine.
00:53:51I'll give you a chance.
00:53:52Come back now, and I'll consider making you my girlfriend.
00:53:55Julian, you are a joke.
00:53:57I was the one who was blind.
00:53:59I took you way too seriously now.
00:54:01You're not even worth the dog shit on the ground.
00:54:03Aurora!
00:54:04Who exactly do you think you are?
00:54:05That the world revolves around you?
00:54:07You're with Serena, and you're standing right next to her saying this.
00:54:11You don't even find that embarrassing?
00:54:12I feel bad for her.
00:54:14Is your forgiveness supposed to be worth something?
00:54:17Keep it for yourself.
00:54:18Fine.
00:54:19Very fine.
00:54:20Aurora, you'll regret this.
00:54:24Julian made a complete fool of himself today.
00:54:27Why does this moron get to be pursued by someone like Leon while I'm stuck with a broke loser like
00:54:31Julian?
00:54:33Don't be upset.
00:54:34Everything I said back there, I was just annoyed at Aurora for being so full of herself.
00:54:38I said it to get a reaction.
00:54:40You're the one I want to be with.
00:54:41I'm not giving her any opening.
00:54:43I know.
00:54:44I just feel a little beaten down.
00:54:46She has that older man protecting her.
00:54:48And now she has someone like Leon at her side.
00:54:50No matter what I do, I just can't measure up to her.
00:54:53Oh, stop.
00:54:55Someone like Aurora doesn't compare to you.
00:54:58Come on.
00:54:59We've been playing for hours.
00:55:00You must be hungry.
00:55:01Tonight, whatever you want.
00:55:02My treat.
00:55:03Really?
00:55:04Of course.
00:55:05Go ahead.
00:55:07I'll have the lobster pasta, the charcoal grilled wagyu, a dozen oysters, truffle fries, and a sea salt caramel souffle.
00:55:15Best champagne you have.
00:55:18Somebody's ordering big.
00:55:20Which rich kid is this?
00:55:32Check, please.
00:55:39Payment declined insufficient funds.
00:55:42Try again.
00:55:43Payment declined insufficient funds.
00:55:45You can't pay and you ordered all that?
00:55:47From the way he was acting, I actually thought he was somebody.
00:55:50Sir, would you like to try a different payment method?
00:55:54Dad, what happened to the money in my account?
00:55:56I needed it.
00:55:57So I moved it.
00:55:58Did you gamble it away again?
00:55:59Shut your mouth.
00:56:00You don't get to lecture me.
00:56:02By the way, you're on your own for next year's tuition.
00:56:05So he's broke.
00:56:06Showing off like that and now no one's here to bail him out.
00:56:09I see now.
00:56:10You're not a rich heir at all.
00:56:11The one with real money is Aurora.
00:56:13You're just a broke loser she's been supporting.
00:56:15Julian, I'm suddenly not hungry anymore.
00:56:18You finish up.
00:56:21Serena, let me explain.
00:56:23The money was just temporarily moved by my dad.
00:56:26I'll figure out a way to earn it back.
00:56:28I swear I won't let you down.
00:56:31Julian, a whole month of part-time work, probably pays less than one day as Aurora's private ability coach.
00:56:37Am I wrong?
00:56:38What are you saying?
00:56:39It's very simple.
00:56:40What you need to do right now is go to Aurora and ask her to hire you back as her
00:56:44coach.
00:56:46I finally got free of that woman.
00:56:47Just want to be with you now and you're telling me to go back and work for her?
00:56:50I'm thinking about you.
00:56:52What you need most right now is money.
00:56:55Coaching her pays more than any odd job you could pick up outside.
00:56:58And your dad's debt, that has to be handled first, doesn't it?
00:57:01I don't want to do this.
00:57:03What's the big deal?
00:57:04I'm just asking you to go earn money from her, not to get back together we're with her.
00:57:09You're broke.
00:57:11If you don't earn something, what exactly do I have to spend?
00:57:15All right.
00:57:16I'm just looking out for you.
00:57:17If you're too embarrassed to ask her yourself, I'll go say it for you.
00:57:22Would she even take me back at this point?
00:57:25Did you mean what you said earlier?
00:57:28Which part?
00:57:31That you're the one pursuing me?
00:57:35Yes.
00:57:36It's always been true.
00:57:39Aurora, I need to ask you something.
00:57:43What is it?
00:57:44Could you let Julian continue as your ability coach?
00:57:48Seriously?
00:57:49You interrupted my evening for this?
00:57:53Julian is really struggling right now.
00:57:55You've probably heard about his father.
00:57:56Your family has plenty of money and Julian's ability is strong.
00:57:59If you agree, I promise he'll take the coaching seriously this time.
00:58:02Do you think I'm stupid?
00:58:04The two of you are together now and you want me to pay him a salary and effectively support both
00:58:07of you?
00:58:10Aurora, I'm willing to forgive everything you've done.
00:58:12From now on, we keep it strictly professional.
00:58:15Coach and student, that's all.
00:58:18I remember someone just said he'd never forgive me.
00:58:24Aurora, if the only reason you're shutting Julian out is because of me and him, I can break up with
00:58:30him.
00:58:30Please don't.
00:58:32Then he'll turn around and say I forced you to leave him.
00:58:36I get it, Aurora.
00:58:37You're just still holding a grudge, aren't you?
00:58:39Stop pretending to know me.
00:58:41Let's talk about you, Serena.
00:58:43You liked Julian because he was the top student.
00:58:46The school's heartthrob.
00:58:47Everyone's chosen heir.
00:58:48Now that you've found out he's not rich at all, his dad's a gambler buried in debt, you've changed your
00:58:54mind.
00:58:54You want to turn him into a money-making tool so you can slowly discard him and move on to
00:59:01someone with better prospects, right?
00:59:03Who gave you the right to say that?
00:59:05I just think Julian deserves a better future.
00:59:07Right.
00:59:08And without a better future, how could he keep spending money on you?
00:59:12Aurora, enough.
00:59:13I've always believed women should support each other.
00:59:15But you've been reading the worst possible intentions into everything I do.
00:59:19Hearing that from you is quite something.
00:59:21Isn't giving you a chance to get close to Julia a good thing?
00:59:25You love him.
00:59:26After all, keep your charity.
00:59:30I don't collect garbage.
00:59:32Aurora, enough!
00:59:34Stop going after Serena!
00:59:39You got sold out and you're still counting the money for them.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Serena thinks you're broke, thinks you're a burden, thinks your dad is an embarrassment, and she's putting on this whole
00:59:47act of self-sacrifice while pushing you back at me.
00:59:49And you're still defending her?
00:59:51Julian, you're a complete idiot.
00:59:54Julian, don't!
00:59:55Aurora and I just have a misunderstanding.
00:59:58Julian, I have a better coach now.
01:00:00And a better boyfriend.
01:00:01Someone like you, not a consideration.
01:00:05Aurora, don't think bringing some random guy to make me jealous is going to change anything!
01:00:09Aurora, ignore him.
01:00:11Let's go.
01:00:14Julian doesn't have much use left.
01:00:16But Leon, I need to find a way to push Aurora and Julian back together.
01:00:20That would give me a way to get close to Leon.
01:00:24Better coach.
01:00:26Better boyfriend.
01:00:28Hmm?
01:00:29What? Any objections?
01:00:30I think I need to earn those words.
01:00:36From here on, I'm training you to be number one in the year.
01:00:39I want you to surpass Julia and Serena in all four areas.
01:00:42Combined combat, precision control, sustained output, and environmental takeover.
01:00:47At this year's graduation ceremony, you'll stand on that stage as the student representative.
01:00:51Everyone who ever called you a failure will have to look up at you.
01:00:54In my past life, I was useless in the war.
01:00:57I died with the name of a failure, while Julian and Serena walked over my father's body.
01:01:02This time, I will make myself strong enough.
01:01:05Strong enough to defeat them both.
01:01:07Yes.
01:01:09I'm going to be number one.
01:01:11I'm going to surpass Julian and Serena.
01:01:13You will.
01:01:14One more thing.
01:01:15Stay away from Julian.
01:01:17I looked into his family background.
01:01:18His father was a former gang member.
01:01:20Alcoholic.
01:01:21Compulsive gambler.
01:01:22I know.
01:01:22I already know all of it.
01:01:24Julian.
01:01:25Carl.
01:01:26You won't get a dime out of me this time.
01:01:32You actually came back?
01:01:34You stole from me again.
01:01:37Stole?
01:01:37You're going to hold a little money against your own father?
01:01:40That was my tuition for Nexi My City.
01:01:42Tuition?
01:01:43When you were living at the Hale Estate, you never once asked me for tuition money.
01:01:47When you were with Aurora, you were bringing home cash hand over win.
01:01:50You remember how we lived?
01:01:52And now, you screwed it all up.
01:01:55Shut up.
01:01:56You shut up!
01:01:57A brainless heiress like Aurora, you should have had her completely wrapped around your finger.
01:02:02And you couldn't even keep up the act.
01:02:04Look what you've done to me!
01:02:05Tomorrow, you go to Aurora and apologize.
01:02:07Get her to hire you back as her coach.
01:02:10No.
01:02:11You're going whether you want to or not.
01:02:14Otherwise, I beat you every day until you do.
01:02:17Carl!
01:02:17Get out here!
01:02:21Three months, Carl.
01:02:22When are you planning to pay me back?
01:02:24Zane, just give me two more days.
01:02:26I'll figure something out.
01:02:27Figure what out?
01:02:30Give him the money!
01:02:35I don't have a cent!
01:02:36No money?
01:02:38Then why did you even come back?
01:02:42Drop the act, Carl.
01:02:44Boys, beat them both.
01:02:50Stop!
01:02:52Stop!
01:02:53Stop hitting!
01:02:54You're going to kill us!
01:02:57Can't pay your debts?
01:02:58This is what you deserve.
01:02:59I have a plan.
01:03:00There's a rich iress who's crazy about my son.
01:03:02Her father is Victor Hall.
01:03:03Three million, five million, it's nothing to her.
01:03:04Is that right?
01:03:05If my son is in trouble, she'll pay.
01:03:07She always does.
01:03:08Fine.
01:03:08Tomorrow at noon.
01:03:09If I don't see three million, I kill your son.
01:03:12Miss Hale!
01:03:13Save Julian!
01:03:14He's been taken!
01:03:14The kidnappers want three million!
01:03:16Kidnappers?
01:03:17Then call the police.
01:03:18What are you coming to me for?
01:03:19We can't call the police!
01:03:20They'll kill him!
01:03:21Miss Hale, I'm begging you.
01:03:22Please save him!
01:03:24Whether he lives or dies, what does that have to do with me?
01:03:26Miss Hale, you're just angry at him.
01:03:28When he comes back, I'll have him on his knees begging to make things right with you.
01:03:31How about that?
01:03:31No need.
01:03:32I'd be thrilled if he never came back.
01:03:34Though if he dragged himself back missing an arm or a leg, that might actually be fun.
01:03:39He's your son, not mine.
01:03:41The Hale family bullies their employees.
01:03:44You leave people to die!
01:03:46My son and I gave years of our lives to this family, and this is how you treat them?
01:03:52If you don't agree today, I'm staying here until I die!
01:03:57Fine.
01:03:57I'm not sticking around for this.
01:03:59Miss Hale, you can't be this cruel!
01:04:01Carl, what's going on?
01:04:02Mr. Hale, please!
01:04:04Julian's been taken!
01:04:05They want three million, and the young miss won't help him!
01:04:07Three million.
01:04:08Give it to him, and send him away.
01:04:10Thank you, Mr. Hale!
01:04:12Thank you!
01:04:13I know Julian is no good.
01:04:15Take the ransom money to them yourself.
01:04:17His life is in your hands now.
01:04:19How you let off steam is entirely up to you.
01:04:21Understood, Dad.
01:04:25Miss, here he is.
01:04:26Oh, you knocked him out?
01:04:28Oh, we had no way of knowing he was a friend of yours.
01:04:30No, I meant you could have been a bit rougher to wake him up.
01:04:34I understand, miss.
01:04:35Keep going!
01:04:37Stop!
01:04:38Stop it!
01:04:40Keep going!
01:04:43Stop!
01:04:44Please don't!
01:04:45Please don't!
01:04:46Don't crack a little girl like me!
01:04:48How could I possibly stop any of you?
01:04:50Don't stop!
01:04:51Keep going!
01:04:52Stop!
01:04:53Please don't hit him anymore!
01:04:55He's an honor student and the heir to the HAL estate!
01:04:59Aurora, help me.
01:05:01What if you cripple him?
01:05:03What if you ruin his face?
01:05:04You're so cruel!
01:05:05Really, stop!
01:05:08How do I know you're actually trying to save him and not just stall him?
01:05:11Boys!
01:05:12Wait for the money and keep hitting.
01:05:14Let's see which comes first.
01:05:16The cash or the funeral?
01:05:18Does it hurt?
01:05:19This doesn't even come close to one ten thousandth of what I suffered in my past life.
01:05:27Aurora, you came for me?
01:05:30Of course.
01:05:31Your father came to our home begging in tears for three million.
01:05:35My father didn't want to.
01:05:37Luckily, I spoke up for you.
01:05:38Julian, now you know who actually cares about you, don't you?
01:05:41Everything before, that was all my fault.
01:05:44I swear, from now on, I'll treat you right.
01:05:46Good.
01:05:47Let me get someone to take you to the hospital first.
01:05:52Aurora, for you.
01:05:54Your favorite, hazelnut latte.
01:05:56I went out of my way to get it.
01:05:58Your memory's as bad as ever.
01:06:00I stopped drinking that a long time ago.
01:06:02That's fine.
01:06:03I also got an iced americano with a double shot.
01:06:05Weren't you into strong coffee lately?
01:06:09Aurora, I made this for you myself.
01:06:14Wow, that's a full spread.
01:06:17That's incredible.
01:06:18Now this is something, Leon.
01:06:22Aurora, are you messing with me?
01:06:28You do realize drinking coffee on an empty stomach is hard on Aurora's stomach, right?
01:06:35Aurora!
01:06:38What exactly is going on between you and Leon?
01:06:41Are you already together?
01:06:42Let go, you're hurting me.
01:06:44Stop acting.
01:06:45I can see it.
01:06:46Every time you look at him, your eyes are different.
01:06:48You never looked at me that way.
01:06:50Does that hurt?
01:06:52I've been there a thousand times worse.
01:06:54I gave you everything, and you stepped on me and played me for a fool.
01:07:00Aurora, what's gotten into you?
01:07:02When did I ever deceive you?
01:07:04Stop performing.
01:07:05Okay.
01:07:06I admit there was something between Serena and me before, but since I cleared the air
01:07:11with you, I've been serious.
01:07:13Why can't you just-
01:07:14Get off me!
01:07:16You still care about me.
01:07:18I know you do.
01:07:22Didn't you hear her say, get off?
01:07:24What does this have to do with you?
01:07:25Do you have any idea how much Aurora was in love with me?
01:07:28She's with you now just to boost her scores and make me notice her.
01:07:30You really think you have any right to play hero for her?
01:07:32I was actually going to string you along a bit longer, let you find out what it's like
01:07:36to pour your heart out to someone who treats it like garbage.
01:07:39But who the hell do you think you are speaking to Leon like that?
01:07:42Stay away from me from now on.
01:07:44Come near me one more time, and I'll make you look a lot worse than today.
01:07:51Sorry, I almost failed to protect you.
01:07:54It wasn't your fault.
01:07:56I was the one who was too naive before.
01:07:58At least this time, I didn't let him get what he wanted.
01:08:02Aurora, did he hurt you like this before?
01:08:05In the past?
01:08:07I once had a dream.
01:08:09In the dream, I couldn't see someone's true face, no matter how hard I tried.
01:08:12I gave him everything I had, and in the end, he got me killed.
01:08:15That person was Julian?
01:08:17I regretted it.
01:08:18I couldn't accept it, but the dream ended.
01:08:20I woke up.
01:08:25Was I in your dream?
01:08:30Yes, at the very end of the dream, you appeared.
01:08:33And after that, everything was better.
01:08:36Once the graduation ceremony is over, I'll tell you the rest of the story.
01:08:40Good.
01:08:40I'll wait.
01:08:42Oh, you've been confirmed as this year's student representative for the graduation ceremony.
01:08:48After the ceremony, I have something for you.
01:08:50Thank you in advance.
01:08:52Everything I've achieved, that's all down to my coach.
01:09:05My darling girl, don't be nervous tonight.
01:09:09Dad can't wait to hear your speech.
01:09:11Don't worry.
01:09:13I won't disappoint you.
01:09:15Go on in.
01:09:16You took my spot as student representative, and now you think you're going to stand on
01:09:21that stage and shine?
01:09:22Aurora, I will ruin you in front of the entire school.
01:09:29Tonight is our graduation ceremony and our night of honors.
01:09:33This school was established through the efforts of our mutant war hero, Victor Holt.
01:09:37Our school motto has always been one line, to let mutants and humans grow together under
01:09:42the same sky and flourish as one.
01:09:43Each of you seated here tonight has passed seven years of this school's trial.
01:09:47Now, please welcome this year's student representative to the stage for the commencement address.
01:09:54Good evening, everyone.
01:09:56I'm your student representative for tonight, and I'm proud to be standing here.
01:09:59For a long time, I was not someone others considered worthy of this school.
01:10:03But today, I want to start by saying thank you to...
01:10:06I have an accusation!
01:10:14Aurora has no right to stand here.
01:10:17She has no morals.
01:10:19She's some old man's kept woman spending his money bullying her classmates,
01:10:23and now she gets to stand on this stage as student representative?
01:10:26I'm making this accusation under my own name.
01:10:35Everyone, look at the evidence!
01:10:37Aurora and this older man, look how close they are.
01:10:40She used this disgusting relationship to get money and status she never earned.
01:10:45A disgrace like her, what right does she have to represent us?
01:10:49So it's actually true.
01:10:51She really is being kept by some old man.
01:10:54Aurora, your taste is something else.
01:10:56Old and bald, and you still went for it?
01:10:59Old and bald.
01:11:02Sir, these students are out of line.
01:11:04I'll handle it immediately.
01:11:06No need.
01:11:07I'd like to see how this plays out.
01:11:13This is the man you're calling my keeper?
01:11:16The evidence is right there.
01:11:18Are you going to deny it?
01:11:19You're not wrong.
01:11:21He is someone I love.
01:11:27Though at the moment, he can only rank second among the men I love.
01:11:32You're actually admitting it?
01:11:34Aurora, you've got absolutely no shame when it comes to money.
01:11:37You actually like some old, bald man?
01:11:40I said I love him.
01:11:41Is there a problem with that?
01:11:43Are we not allowed to tell the truth now?
01:11:46Aurora, you have absolutely no shame.
01:11:49Every school board member is here tonight.
01:11:51You're saying this in front of the entire school.
01:11:53Do you feel no embarrassment whatsoever?
01:11:55Someone like her should be expelled.
01:11:57Exactly, expeller.
01:11:58Student representative, her?
01:11:59Julian, you know her better than anyone.
01:12:01Tell us, is she being kept or not?
01:12:02Right, you were her coach.
01:12:03You must know.
01:12:04Julian, I'm giving you one last chance.
01:12:08You tell everyone,
01:12:09what is the relationship between me and the man in that photo?
01:12:16The person in the photo is...
01:12:18No.
01:12:19If I say it, what happens to Serena?
01:12:22This photo is beyond appropriate.
01:12:24Aurora, if you apologize right now,
01:12:27you can still walk away with some dignity.
01:12:30Julian, you really haven't changed at all.
01:12:32Still love turning everything on its head.
01:12:35Aurora, don't change the subject.
01:12:36You're the one changing the subject, fine.
01:12:38Since you want to burn it all down
01:12:39in front of the whole school,
01:12:40I'll lay everything out.
01:12:42Julian, you drove my car,
01:12:43lived in my estate,
01:12:44spent my money buying gifts for Serena,
01:12:45impersonated a wealthy heir,
01:12:46and spread rumors that I was a servant's daughter.
01:12:48You've played Lord Julian for so long.
01:12:50Did you actually start believing it?
01:12:51What?
01:12:52Julian's money was all from Aurora?
01:12:54He's not Victor Hale's chosen heir?
01:12:56She's lying!
01:12:57Shut up, Chloe.
01:12:58See Julian for what he really is.
01:13:00He's nothing but a coach
01:13:01who wormed his way into the Hale estate
01:13:02and stole my identity to lord it over all of you.
01:13:07Quiet!
01:13:09Everyone quiet!
01:13:10Enough.
01:13:13Victor Hale?
01:13:14The war hero?
01:13:15Doesn't he never appear in public?
01:13:17I am disappointed.
01:13:18Since this school was founded,
01:13:20I have emphasized only one thing.
01:13:22Peace.
01:13:22Peace is not words.
01:13:24It is not applause in an auditorium
01:13:26while saying mutual prosperity.
01:13:28Peace begins with the most basic respect.
01:13:30Respect for other people.
01:13:31Respect for the truth.
01:13:32Didn't you all just spell it out clearly?
01:13:35Anyone with no morals?
01:13:37Anyone who harms fellow students?
01:13:39Anyone who corrupts this school's culture?
01:13:41Should be expelled.
01:13:43So let's follow your own rule.
01:13:44Aurora, what are you still standing there for?
01:13:47Go pack your things and get out of this school.
01:13:49You misunderstood.
01:13:54No way, he's...
01:13:56Does that mean?
01:13:57That's right.
01:13:58The man you've been calling old and bold is me.
01:14:01Aurora is my one and only daughter.
01:14:03Aurora is actually Victor Hale's daughter?
01:14:06Oh my God!
01:14:06Serena and the others are finished.
01:14:09Oh my God!
01:14:14Principal, it's in your hands from here.
01:14:17The school has confirmed the following.
01:14:20All students involved in tonight's malicious rumor spreading are hereby expelled.
01:14:24Primary instigators, Serena Vale and Chloe Mercer, effective immediately.
01:14:30I didn't mean to!
01:14:31Oh my God!
01:14:32Oh my God!
01:14:32Oh my God!
01:14:34Oh my God!
01:14:34This can't be happening!
01:14:37It's a shame, Julian.
01:14:39You're a remarkably talented young man.
01:14:40I had originally planned to recommend you to the defense ministry when you graduate.
01:14:44Your conduct is beneath contempt.
01:14:46Stay away from Aurora from now on.
01:14:48By the way, my daughter is not involved with anyone other than her fiancé, Mr. Hart.
01:14:52I heard that the position of my daughter's most loved man, you stole that from me.
01:14:58I apologize, sir.
01:14:59Don't apologize!
01:15:00You earned it!
01:15:02Aurora, I said I had something for you after the ceremony, but I think now is the right moment.
01:15:08Once, I was a step too late.
01:15:11That won't happen again.
01:15:12Aurora, Hale, will you marry me?
01:15:16Leon, in my past life, if I could do it all over again, I'd choose you.
01:15:21I would.
01:15:22In my past life, I didn't know who truly loved me until the moment I died.
01:15:26This time, I will not miss it.
01:15:28I do.
01:15:36Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now.
01:15:39Don't you dare let my daughter suffer.
01:15:41I promise.
01:15:43I promise.
01:15:44Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now.
01:15:49Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now.
01:15:51Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now.
01:15:51Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now.
01:15:52Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now.
01:15:52Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now.
01:15:53Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now.
01:15:55Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now.
