00:05:19NOOOOOO!
00:05:23God you're stupid.
00:05:25Bloods your system with noxious resonance.
00:05:26I'm the one who had your family killed.
00:05:27AURORA!
00:05:32I'm... I'm alive?
00:05:35No wounds.
00:05:37No collar.
00:05:43Which means...
00:05:45This is before Julian gave me the collar?
00:05:47This is...
00:05:497th year practical ops class?
00:05:52I can still fix this.
00:05:54I can change everything.
00:06:02The blue stone gives basic suppression of the host's energy.
00:06:05The green stone is different.
00:06:06It actively feeds on the host'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.
00:06:21Aurora?
00:06:23You?
00:06:26Isn't she the worst student in the class?
00:06:30Great, here we go again.
00:06:37Try 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.
00:06:47Now, 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? Yeah, no surprise there.
00:07:18Don't stop. Try again.
00:07:28What? Waiting 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?
00:08:02Aurora! Pull back!
00:08:03What?
00:08:04Aurora! Pull back!
00:08:20You fucked up again! Look what you did!
00:08:24Zero control, huh? Just leaking all over the place like a busted wire!
00:08:28She shouldn't even been rolled here. Half-blood trash.
00:08:34Apologize to Serena! Now!
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. Victor Hale is grooming him as successor.
00:08:48He's set to inherit the whole Hale estate. Aurora's just some servants kid.
00:08:51Victor Hale's successor? Heir to the Hale estate?
00:08:54And I'm the servants kid.
00:08:55Julian, you've really been out here telling people that?
00:08:58Stop making shit up! You hurt Serena! Apologize to her right now!
00:09:01Julian, you're so sweet!
00:09:04You hurt 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? You're exhausting!
00:09:14You're not riding back with us today!
00:09:17She's different today. Something'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? That's the Hale family airship!
00:09:40She just got on? By herself? Before everyone else?
00:09:44She's not even gonna wait for Julian?
00:09:46A servant's daughter just taking the wheel like she 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?
00:10:04Who? His last name is Cross, not Hale.
00:10:06He's your son, Carl. Don'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.
00:10:30Aurora!
00:10:33You're a servant's kid! Get out of the pilot's seat! Now! Get down!
00:10:38You think you belong up there?
00:10:40What? You 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? I 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. I'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? Julian, why are you still being nice to her?
00:11:21Get down!
00:11:24That's what you get!
00:11:26She really thought she was gonna win that?
00:11:34Come on. She's not worth it.
00:11:40Good riddance. Blocking 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, 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 gonna like what happens next.
00:12:02You're really worked up today.
00:12:03But once Julian comes back and says the right things, you'll drop it.
00:12:08You always do.
00:12:11See that? That's how it's done!
00:12:14It's not even your airship. Stop 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.
00:12:30Oh, sure. Nice story.
00:12:32Who's your dad? The 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? You 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.
00:13:06No, that's not... there has to be a mistake.
00:13:10You had no authority over that airship.
00:13:12Get off me! I 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, you've actually pissed me off this time.
00:13:32Good.
00:13:33Get used to it.
00:13:36Good.
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
00:15:04How it is, I'm being dismissed
00:15:10Leon, would you want to have dinner with me tonight?
00:15:14Just us?
00:15:16I
00:15:19Yeah, absolutely
00:15:22Of course
00:15:28You 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?
00:15:38You 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
00:15:47I 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
00:15:57Because I want you around more
00:15:59A 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
00:16:18My new coach
00:16:19Strongest bloody ability user alive
00:16:21Pretty 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
00:16:46What?
00:16:48You heard me
00:16:49Leave
00:16:52You heard her
00:16:53I'm her coach now
00:16:56Something is seriously wrong with her today
00:16:58I need to get this back under control
00:17:00Come on, Aurora
00:17:01I know you're mad about me and Serena
00:17:03But there's nothing going on
00:17:04We'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
00:17:31Every single day
00:17:32It's been draining you
00:17:33Destroying 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
00:18:07Aurora?
00:18:15Aurora
00:18:15Once that collar is on
00:18:17You 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
00:18:24Not 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
00:18:37What 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
00:18:52And 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?
00:19:02That's actually insane
00:19:04Hold on
00:19:05Who did you just call a servant?
00:19:07You
00:19:07Everyone here knows it
00:19:09Julian is the heir Mr. Hale personally picked
00:19:12You're just one of the help
00:19:13Okay, so let's get something straight
00:19:16The real heir to the Hale estate is
00:19:22Yeah?
00:19:23Who?
00:19:24Chloe
00:19:24Shut 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
00:19:35Who's the servant and who's the heir?
00:19:39Aurora
00:19:40Are 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
00:20:01I'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
00:20:18Of 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
00:20:26Aurora's out here in discount clothes
00:20:28Trying 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
00:20:36Let's celebrate
00:20:39Everyone's welcome
00:20:41It's on me
00:20:42He's covering everything?
00:20:44Seriously?
00:20:45This is why Mr. Hale picked him
00:20:47Makes total sense
00:20:48Last time around
00:20:49I spent eight million on his birthday
00:20:51Made him look incredible
00:20:52Never got a thank you
00:20:54Not doing that again
00:21:00This is the place
00:21:02I spent a fortune throwing Julian a birthday party here
00:21:06And right when I was about to tell him how I felt
00:21:08He kissed Serena in front of me
00:21:10Julian
00:21:11Tonight 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
00:21:19And you're just crashing his birthday like it's nothing?
00:21:22It's a hotel
00:21:22I 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
00:21:30So what are you barking for?
00:21:34I thought you said you weren't coming
00:21:36Oh right
00:21:36It's your birthday
00:21:37Honestly 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
00:21:44It's Julian's birthday
00:21:45Don't start something
00:21:47At the end of the day
00:21:48You're just the daughter of his family's servant
00:21:49So 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
00:22:18Aurora
00:22:19I'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
00:22:32That'd hurt worse than anything else I could do
00:22:34Wouldn't it?
00:22:35Alright then
00:22:36Let's have some fun
00:22:39Right, okay
00:22:40It's your birthday
00:22:41You want everyone to have a good time
00:22:43I just remembered
00:22:44I actually booked the best private room in the building for you
00:22:48The Platinum Suite
00:22:49You can go in whenever you're ready
00:22:51You booked the Platinum Suite?
00:22:53Obviously
00:22:53You 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
00:23:00Talks big and still ends up spending money on me
00:23:02Some things never change
00:23:04That's more like it
00:23:06Alright everyone
00:23:06Let'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
00:23:21I'm in
00:23:23He's totally getting his wine
00:23:32Julian, come on
00:23:34That bottle alone must be worth thousands
00:23:36This room is actually unreal
00:23:38This is what it looks like when you actually own the place
00:23:41Order whatever you want
00:23:43Tonight's on me
00:23:46Julian, you're the best
00:23:52Whatever you want
00:23:53It's yours
00:23:56Look at you
00:23:57Loving every second of this
00:23:58When that bill hits the table
00:24:00Your 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?
00:24:12Alice, please
00:24:14I can barely look at her as it is
00:24:16Just so you know
00:24:17This 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 strain
00:24:30She's not wrong
00:24:31I ordered more than enough
00:24:32Help yourself
00:24:33The guy you brought though
00:24:35He's not included
00:24:36Oh, so I'm not paying?
00:24:38That's great
00:24:41Mr. Cross
00:24:41Here'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
00:24:57Whoever 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
00:25:09Someone here seems to be trying to skip out on the bill
00:25:12And 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
00:25:29Let everyone eat and drink
00:25:31Whatever they want
00:25:32And somehow the bill ends up in front of me?
00:25:38Aurora
00:25:38Come on
00:25:39Just cover it and we move on
00:25:41Don't do this to me right now
00:25:45Not really my problem, is it?
00:25:48It's a stellar hotel
00:25:49That's your family's, right?
00:25:51It is
00:25:51Can I borrow it tonight?
00:25:53What are you planning?
00:25:54I'm going to act like I'm spending money on Julian
00:25:57But I won't actually pay
00:25:59When he's completely out of options
00:26:01He'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
00:26:15Wait, split it ourselves?
00:26:16Didn't Julian say he was covering everything?
00:26:18Aurora
00:26:19Stop 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
00:26:29And maybe I'll think about it
00:26:33Are you being serious right now?
00:26:36Julian
00:26:38You're not actually going to
00:26:40Not going to do it?
00:26:43Fine
00:26:43Leon, let's head out
00:26:45Wait
00:26:47Please
00:26:56There we go
00:26:59Manager
00:27:00I've got the bill
00:27:03Total
00:27:038,600,000
00:27:08Happy birthday, Julian
00:27:10I'll cover it this time
00:27:11But let's get one thing straight
00:27:14I'm not here to bank vote 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
00:27:22In front of everyone
00:27:23Who's the owner and who's the servant?
00:27:26I'm done
00:27:30Aurora
00:27:31Nobody has ever made me feel like this
00:27:34You're going to pay for tonight
00:27:35Every 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, that's not working
00:27:48I'm giving it everything I've got
00:27:50Your power's not the issue
00:27:51Your control is
00:27:52Okay
00:27:53One more time
00:27:55Miss Hale, you're finally back
00:27:57I've brought Julian today to apologize
00:27:59Looks like you've got something to handle
00:28:00We can pick this up tomorrow
00:28:02See ya
00:28:02Bye
00:28:06An apology, Carl?
00:28:08What exactly did he do that needs an apology?
00:28:11Miss Haley, come on
00:28:11I 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 Hale, I made a mistake last time
00:28:23I know that
00:28:23But your father and I go way back
00:28:25You 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 and dead and you know it
00:28:35Just say sorry
00:28:36Get her back on your side
00:28:37And everything the Hale family has will eventually be ours
00:28:40All of it
00:28:42Carl, you've been talking this whole time
00:28:44And 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
00:29:12Carl
00:29:13Don'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 to people?
00:30:33And all that stuff about supporting me?
00:30:36That was a coaching fee you already owed!
00:30:38A coaching fee?
00:30:40Really?
00:30:42Since 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
00:30:50You 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
00:31:02You'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
00:31:14And 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
00:31:24If I win
00:31:26You put on a bra and a skirt
00:31:28Strap on energy restraint rings
00:31:29And run 10 laps around 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
00:31:38You put on a bra and a skirt
00:31:40Strap on energy restraint rings
00:31:42And run 10 laps around the school
00:31:43And if I win?
00:31:45Same thing for me
00:31:46Is 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
00:31:55You're on
00:31:56Last time around I couldn't even do basic energy control
00:31:59I wore Julian's collar
00:32:01And never made it anywhere near a battlefield
00:32:12This time
00:32:13I'm going to train
00:32:14Until I'm strong enough
00:32:15To protect the people I love
00:32:23Aurora
00:32:26Dad, what are you doing here?
00:32:28Had some business at the school
00:32:29Thought I'd take you home
00:32:30Last time
00:32:31You died right in front of me
00:32:32And there was nothing I could do
00:32:33That's never happening again
00:32:36Okay, what's going on with you today?
00:32:38Nothing
00:32:39Alright, alright
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
00:32:49Yeah?
00:32:50You mean that?
00:32:54That's what I'm talking about
00:32:56That's my 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
00:33:28Score 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
00:33:41For someone like me
00:33:42You're not what they say you are
00:33:45Your 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
00:33:51Until I didn't even know what I was capable of anymore
00:33:55Then I'm counting on you
00:33:58Let's get to work
00:34:04Again
00:34:06Again
00:34:10Again
00:34:16Yes!
00:34:17That's it!
00:34:19Okay we're moving to the next stage
00:34:20God he's actually excited about this
00:34:23This is literally first year stuff
00:34:30Don't force it
00:34:31Just guide it
00:34:37Easy
00:34:37Easy
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
00:35:12Couldn'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
00:35:27Julian just called me stupid
00:35:29And tricked me into wearing a bunch of green millstone
00:35:33You know I've been thinking about it
00:35:34Why 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
00:35:58Make sure you get everything
00:36:01Feeling pretty good about this bet huh Aurora
00:36:03You 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
00:36:10Admit it Aurora
00:36:11This is just another way for you to get my attention and you know it
00:36:15Your attention
00:36:16Right
00:36:17Actually
00:36:18That reminds me of something
00:36:27Take all of this with you too
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
00:36:50Julian that's fucked up
00:36:55I don't know what you two are going on about
00:36:57Take your shit
00:36:58And get out
00:36:59Was 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
00:37:10Quantity, 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
00:37:33That's Chloe for you
00:37:52That'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
00:38:06Honestly
00:38:07Kind of sad
00:38:14You look completely lost
00:38:16Let me help
00:38:25She can't pull it
00:38:26They'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
00:39:04See that?
00:39:06Done
00:39:07You can stop with the theatrics
00:39:16Who said you could touch my containers?
00:39:19Idiot
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
00:39:38Aurora hail
00:39:40Complete
00:39:40Zero error
00:39:41Zero risk
00:39:42Hyatt grade
00:39:45So
00:39:46How'd that go for everyone?
00:39:49Aurora's score for the park coordination test is
00:39:52Perfect!
00:39:53Who's building a grid this whole time?
00:39:56She had every single target locked from the start
00:39:57That's not possible
00:39:58How did she just
00:39:59Well
00:40:01Isn'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
00:40:16Serena Vale
00:40:17Serena only third?
00:40:19Then who's second?
00:40:21Second place
00:40:21Julian Cross
00:40:23How?
00:40:24Julian's always first
00:40:26I'm not finished
00:40:28First place overall
00:40:33Aurora hail
00:40:34Composite grade
00:40:36A 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
00:40:49Top of the class
00:40:55I won
00:40:56Julian
00:40:57A bet's a bet
00:40:58Bra
00:40:59Skirt
00:41:00Energy restraint rings
00:41:01Ten laps around the school
00:41:04Aurora
00:41:05Don't push it
00:41:06So you hit an A?
00:41:07Big deal
00:41:07You just got lucky once
00:41:09Our bet was whether I could hit an A
00:41:10I did
00:41:11He lost
00:41:12He owes a penalty
00:41:13Lord Julian
00:41:14Don't tell me you can't take a loss
00:41:17Aurora
00:41:17We're all classmates
00:41:19Do you have to take it this far?
00:41:21If you feel so bad for him
00:41:22Feel 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
00:41:28And lately you've been cozying up to that old man
00:41:30When did you even have time to train?
00:41:32There's no way you improved that fast
00:41:35Teacher
00:41:37Aurora'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
00:41:46And you know what that means
00:41:47A dead last student like you?
00:41:49Your old scores speak for themselves
00:41:51You are getting examined to death
00:41:54Right!
00:41:55She must have a cheat device on her
00:41:57Search her!
00:41:58If she didn't cheat
00:41:59What's she afraid of?
00:42:01Fine
00:42:01You want to check me?
00:42:03Go ahead
00:42:03But 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
00:42:17But if there's a search
00:42:19Everyone who tested in the same session gets checked
00:42:21Otherwise
00:42:22How 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
00:42:31Aurora 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
00:42:51You 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
00:43:08Someone used this
00:43:09To temporarily transfer energy to you
00:43:12Helping you complete the assessment
00:43:13Isn't that right, Chloe?
00:43:15Looks like the real cheater
00:43:17Isn'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
00:43:32Was Chloe
00:43:34It was Chloe?
00:43:36Nullified?
00:43:36Can she even graduate?
00:43:37A formal demarriage will be issued
00:43:39And her test scores are nullified
00:43:42If you breathe a word about me
00:43:44You're done
00:43:45Now
00:43:46Does anyone else want to accuse me of cheating?
00:43:49Given that a cheat device was involved during the test
00:43:51In 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
00:44:09Aurora, Serena, begin
00:44:16That's Serena for you
00:44:18So precise
00:44:19So 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
00:44:31Messing up
00:44:40I'd quit now if I were you
00:44:54Serena, point deducted
00:45:23Serena, point deducted
00:45:25Serena, point deducted
00:45:27How is this possible?
00:45:30The result of this test?
00:45:33Aurora wins
00:45:33Her performance speaks for itself
00:45:36No cheating involved
00:45:41Now, should we talk about our bet?
00:45:47Retest is done
00:45:48I didn't cheat
00:45:50Time to settle the bet
00:45:51It's just one test
00:45:52Do you have to be this relentless about it?
00:45:55Relentless?
00:45:56You're the ones who accused me of cheating
00:45:57And then got caught cheating yourselves
00:45:59And now you won't pay up?
00:46:01Julian
00:46:01Bra and skirt
00:46:03Energy restraint rings
00:46:0415 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
00:46:15You too
00:46:17The teacher gave you a chance to make things right
00:46:19But left your punishment up to me
00:46:20You're joining Julian
00:46:23No
00:46:26Oh, Chloe
00:46:28Since your loyalty to Julian is so deep
00:46:30I'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
00:46:40You want to make it easier on him, don't you?
00:46:43I-I-I go
00:46:45Or I won't hesitate to expose every time
00:46:47I 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
00:46:59She 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
00:47:24We 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
00:47:34Suddenly flush with money
00:47:36We all know what that means
00:47:39You mean?
00:47:41All 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?
00:48:17Why aren't you in the training room?
00:48:19Training's on hold tonight
00:48:20On hold?
00:48:21Because tonight
00:48:23I'm celebrating your birthday
00:48:25How did you know?
00:48:34That's
00:48:41Leo, isn't it?
00:48:43Beautiful
00:48:43And perfect control
00:48:46You 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
00:49:00Then I need you to promise me something
00:49:01Anything
00:49:02Tomorrow
00:49:03All our classmates are going to the beach
00:49:07Will you come?
00:49:24Got another one
00:49:26Aurora?
00:49:28Why 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
00:49:42Feel free to use your light whip
00:49:44If 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?
00:50:10That's fast
00:50:21You okay?
00:50:28Who is he?
00:50:30He's gorgeous
00:50:31This scene
00:50:33I can barely breathe
00:50:37I'm fine
00:50:40Let me handle him
00:50:48He's unreal
00:50:49How does Aurora know
00:50:51Someone like him?
00:51:03How is anyone supposed to return that?
00:51:14That
00:51:15Easy?
00:51:25He returned all of them?
00:51:27How is that possible?
00:51:30Julian's speed
00:51:31Looks like child's play
00:51:33Next 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
00:52:11You were incredible
00:52:13Your reaction was fast enough too
00:52:15Really?
00:52:17Really?
00:52:21They are so in sync
00:52:23That last move
00:52:26Aurora
00:52:26Drop the act
00:52:28Everything you have
00:52:29You won it because of a man
00:52:31Didn't you?
00:52:34Who was that old man
00:52:35Who picked you up at school every day?
00:52:37Did you think no one noticed?
00:52:39Shut up
00:52:40Sir
00:52:41I'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
00:52:46Who's happy to let some old guy
00:52:47I 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
00:53:00And you won't be walking home today
00:53:03That was too far
00:53:04We're just worried about Aurora being taken advantage of
00:53:08We were just reminding her
00:53:09As 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
00:53:21Aurora is not chasing me
00:53:24I'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
00:53:39Aurora!
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
00:53:45And 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
00:53:53And I'll consider making you my girlfriend
00:53:55Julian
00:53:56You 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
00:54:08And you're standing right next to her saying this
00:54:11You don't even find that embarrassing?
00:54:13I 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
00:54:21You'll regret this
00:54:24Julian made a complete fool of himself today
00:54:26Why does this moron get to be pursued by someone like Leon
00:54:29While I'm stuck with a broke loser like Julian?
00:54:33Don't be upset
00:54:34Everything I said back there
00:54:35I was just annoyed at Aurora for being so full of herself
00:54:38I said it to get a reaction
00:54:39You'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
00:54:51I just can't measure up to her
00:54:53Oh stop
00:54:54Someone 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
00:55:00Tonight, whatever you want
00:55:02My treat
00:55:02Really?
00:55:04Of course
00:55:04Go ahead
00:55:07I'll have the lobster pasta
00:55:09The charcoal grilled wagyu
00:55:11A dozen oysters
00:55:12Truffle fries
00:55:13And a sea salt caramel souffle
00:55:15Best champagne you have
00:55:16Thank you
00:55:18Somebody's ordering big
00:55:20Which rich kid is this?
00:55:32Check please
00:55:39Payment decline insufficient funds
00:55:42Try again
00:55:43Payment decline insufficient funds
00:55:45Can't pay and you ordered all that?
00:55:47From the way he was acting
00:55:48I 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
00:56:07And 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
00:56:16I'm suddenly not hungry anymore
00:56:18You finish up
00:56:21Serena
00:56:22Let 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
00:56:31A whole month of part-time work
00:56:33Probably pays less than one day as Aurora's private ability coach
00:56:36Am I wrong?
00:56:38What are you saying?
00:56:39It's very simple
00:56:39What you need to do right now is
00:56:41Go to Aurora
00:56:42And ask her to hire you back as her coach
00:56:46I finally got free of that woman
00:56:47I just want to be with you now
00:56:48And 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?
00:56:59That has to be handled first, doesn't it?
00:57:02I 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
00:57:06Not to get back together we're with her
00:57:09You're broke
00:57:11If you don't earn something
00:57:12What exactly do I have to spend?
00:57:15All right
00:57:16I'm just looking out for you
00:57:18If you're too embarrassed to ask her yourself
00:57:20I'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
00:57:40I need to ask you something
00:57:43What is it?
00:57:44Could you
00:57:45Let Julian continue as your ability coach?
00:57:48Seriously?
00:57:49You interrupted my evening for
00:57:51This?
00:57:53Julian is really struggling right now
00:57:54You've probably heard about his father
00:57:56Your family has plenty of money
00:57:58And Julian's ability is strong
00:57:59If you agree
00:58:00I 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
00:58:05And you want me to pay him a salary
00:58:06And effectively support both of you?
00:58:09Aurora
00:58:10I'm willing to forgive everything you've done
00:58:12From now on
00:58:13We keep it strictly professional
00:58:15Coach and student
00:58:16That's all
00:58:18I remember someone just said
00:58:20He'd never forgive me
00:58:24Aurora
00:58:25If the only reason you're shutting Julian out
00:58:27Is because of me and him
00:58:28I can break up with him
00:58:30Please don't
00:58:31Then he'll turn around
00:58:33And say I forced you to leave him
00:58:35I 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
00:58:45The school's heartthrob
00:58:47Everyone's chosen heir
00:58:48Now that you've found out he's not rich at all
00:58:51His dad's a gambler buried in debt
00:58:53You've changed your mind
00:58:54You want to turn him into a money-making tool
00:58:58So you can slowly discard him
00:59:00And move on to someone with better prospects
00:59:02Right?
00:59:03Who gave you the right to say that?
00:59:05I just think Julian deserves a better future
00:59:07Right
00:59:07And without a better future
00:59:09How could he keep spending money on you?
00:59:12Aurora
00:59:12Enough
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
00:59:28Keep your charity
00:59:30I don't collect garbage
00:59:32Aurora
00:59:33Enough
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
00:59:43Thinks you're a burden
00:59:44Thinks your dad is an embarrassment
00:59:46And she's putting on this whole act of self-sacrifice
00:59:48While pushing you back at me
00:59:49And you're still defending her?
00:59:51Julian
00:59:52You're a complete idiot
00:59:54Julian, don't!
00:59:55Aurora and I just have a misunderstanding
00:59:57Julian
00:59:58I have a better coach now
01:00:00And a better boyfriend
01:00:01Someone like you
01:00:03Not a consideration
01:00:04Aurora
01:00:05Don't think bringing some random guy to make me jealous is going to change anything
01:00:08Aurora
01:00:09Ignore him
01:00:11Let's go
01:00:15Julian doesn't have much use left
01:00:16But Leon
01:00:17I 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?
01:00:29Any 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
01:00:42Combine combat, precision control, sustained output, and environmental takeover
01:00:46At 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
01:00:56I died with the name of a failure
01:00:59While 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
01:01:10I'm going to surpass Julian and Serena
01:01:13You will
01:01:13One 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, compulsive 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 gonna hold a little money against your own father?
01:01:40That was my tuition for next to my sister
01:01:42Tuition?
01:01:43When you were living at the Hale Estate
01:01:45You 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
01:01:59You should have had her completely wrapped around your finger
01:02:02And you couldn't even keep up the act
01:02:03Look 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'd beat you every day until you do
01:02:16Carl!
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!
01:02:37No money?
01:02:38Then why did you even come back?
01:02:42Drop the act, Carl
01:02:43Boys, beat them both
01:02:50Stop!
01:02:52Stop!
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
01:03:06She always does
01:03:07Fine
01:03:08Tomorrow at noon
01:03:09If I don't see three million, I'll kill your son
01:03:12Miss Hale!
01:03:13Save Julian!
01:03:14He's been taken!
01:03:15The 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
01:03:25What 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
01:03:30Begging to make things right with you
01:03:31How about that?
01:03:32No need
01:03:32I'd be thrilled if he never came back
01:03:34Though if he dragged himself back
01:03:36Missing an arm or a leg
01:03:37That might actually be fun
01:03:39He's your son, not mine
01:03:41The Hale family bullies their employees
01:03:43You leave people to die!
01:03:46My son and I gave years of our lives to this family
01:03:49And this is how you treat them?
01:03:52If you don't agree today
01:03:53I'm staying here until I die!
01:03:57Fine, I'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
01:04:03Julian's been taken
01:04:05They want three million
01:04:06And the young miss won't help me
01:04:08Three million
01:04:08Give it to him
01:04:09And 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
01:04:16His life is in your hands now
01:04:18How you let off steam is entirely up to you
01:04:21Understood, Dad
01:04:26Miss, 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
01:04:35I 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!
01:04:46Crack a little girl like me!
01:04:48How could I possibly stop any of you?
01:04:50Don't stop!
01:04:50Keep 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
01:05:01Help me
01:05:01What if you cripple him?
01:05:03What if you ruin his face?
01:05:04You're so cruel, really stop!
01:05:08How do I know you're actually trying to save him
01:05:10And not just stall him?
01:05:11Boys!
01:05:12Wait for the money and keep hitting
01:05:14Let's see which comes first
01:05:15The cash or the funeral?
01:05:17Does it hurt?
01:05:19This doesn't even come close
01:05:21To one ten thousandth of what I suffered in my past life
01:05:27Aurora
01:05:28Aurora
01:05:29You 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
01:05:36Luckily I spoke up for you
01:05:38Julian
01:05:39Now you know who actually cares about you, don't you?
01:05:41Everything before
01:05:42That was all my fault
01:05:43I swear
01:05:44From 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
01:05:53For you
01:05:54Your favorite
01:05:55Hazelnut 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 ice americano with a double shot
01:06:05Weren't you into strong coffee lately?
01:06:08Aurora
01:06:08I made this for you myself
01:06:14Wow
01:06:14That's a full spread
01:06:16That's incredible
01:06:18Now this is something, Leon
01:06:20Thank you
01:06:21Aurora, are you messing with me?
01:06:28You do realize
01:06:29Drinking coffee on an empty stomach
01:06:31Is 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?
01:06:43Let go, you're hurting me
01:06:44Stop acting
01:06:45I can see it
01:06:46Every time you look at him
01:06:47Your 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
01:06:56And you stepped on me and played me for a fool
01:06:59Aurora
01:07:01What's gotten into you?
01:07:02When did I ever deceive you?
01:07:04Stop performing
01:07:06Okay
01:07:06I admit there was something between Serena and me before
01:07:09But since I cleared the air with you
01:07:11I'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
01:07:23Didn'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?
01:07:33I was actually going to string you along a bit longer
01:07:35Let you find out what it's like to 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
01:07:43Come 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
01:08:01Aurora
01:08:03Did 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
01:08:12That I gave him everything I had
01:08:14And 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!
01:08:31At the very end of the dream, you appeared
01:08:33And after that, everything was better
01:08:36Once the graduation ceremony is over
01:08:38I'll tell you the rest of the story
01:08:40Good
01:08:40I'll wait
01:08:42Oh!
01:08:43You'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
01:09:07Don't be nervous tonight
01:09:08Dad can't wait to hear your speech
01:09:11Don't worry
01:09:12I won't disappoint you
01:09:15Go on in
01:09:16You took my spot as student representative
01:09:19And now you think you're going to stand on that 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
01:09:39To let mutants and humans grow together under the 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
01:09:51For the commencement address
01:09:54Good evening, everyone
01:09:55I'm your student representative for tonight
01:09:57And 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
01:10:05I have an accusation
01:10:13Oh my God
01:10:14Aurora has no right to stand here
01:10:18She has no morals
01:10:19She's some old man's pepped 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
01:10:44A disgrace like her, what right does she have to represent us?
01:10:49So it's actually true, she really is being kept by some old man
01:10:52Aurora, 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
01:11:05No 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, he 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, is there a problem with that?
01:11:43Are we not allowed to tell the truth now?
01:11:47Aurora, 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?
01:11:56Someone like her should be expelled!
01:11:57Exactly, expel her!
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, you must know
01:12:04Julian, I'm giving you one last chance
01:12:07You 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 in front of the whole school
01:12:40I'll lay everything out
01:12:41Julian, you drove my car, lived 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
01:12:57See Julian for what he really is
01:13:00He's nothing but a coach who wormed his way into the Hale estate
01:13:02And stole my identity to lord it over all of you
01:13:07Quiet! Everyone 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?
01:13:34Anyone with no morals
01:13:36Anyone who harms fellow students
01:13:38Anyone who corrupts this school's culture
01:13:41Should be expelled
01:13:42So let's follow your own rule
01:13:44Aurora
01:13:45What 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!
01:14:07Serena and the others are finished
01:14:08Oh my God!
01:14:14Principal
01:14:15It's in your hands from here
01:14:18The school has confirmed the following
01:14:20All students involved in tonight's malicious rumor spreading
01:14:23Are hereby expelled
01:14:24Primary instigators
01:14:25Serena Vale and Chloe Mercer
01:14:27Effective immediately
01:14:30I didn't mean to!
01:14:31Oh my God!
01:14:32Oh my God!
01:14:33Oh my God!
01:14:34Oh my God!
01:14:34This can't be happening
01:14:37It's a shame, Julian
01:14:38You're a remarkably talented young man
01:14:40I had originally planned to recommend you to the defense ministry when you graduated
01:14:44Your conduct is beneath contempt
01:14:46Stay away from Aurora from now on
01:14:47By 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
01:14:56You stole that from me
01:14:57I apologize, sir
01:14:59Don't apologize!
01:15:01You earned it!
01:15:03Aurora, I said I had something for you after the ceremony
01:15:05But 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
01:15:18If I could do it all over again, I'd choose you
01:15:21I would
01:15:21In my past life, I didn't know who truly loved me until the moment I died
01:15:25This 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
01:15:41I promise
01:15:42I promise
01:15:42I promise
01:15:43I promise
01:15:43I promise
01:15:43I promise
01:15:43I promise
01:15:44I promise
01:15:44I promise
01:15:44I promise
01:15:48I promise
01:15:48I promise
01:15:55I promise
01:15:56I promise
