00:00:17Dad.
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.
00:00:43You'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.
00:00:53You said you'd marry me.
00:00:55You gave me this.
00:00:56You said it meant something.
00:00:58I followed him around like a lost puppy for years.
00:01:01If 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, made 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!
00:01:47S-Class doesn't matter when you're collared.
00:01:51Every time you push your power,
00:01:52it floods your system with noxious resonates.
00:01:54So from day one, there was never any love there.
00:01:57Was 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,
00:02:07I wouldn't have given you a second look.
00:02:22You had this coming.
00:02:34Aurora!
00:02:42Leon.
00:02:46I was too late. I'm sorry.
00:02:50I'm so sorry.
00:03:03Let me go.
00:03:05AHHHHH!
00:03:07Ah!
00:03:26No.
00:03:31Stop.
00:03:33You're wasting your energy.
00:03:35There's nothing left to do.
00:03:39But if you're gone,
00:03:41what's any of this even for?
00:03:44Don't.
00:03:45You're the strongest blood ability user alive.
00:03:50You have to keep going.
00:03:52Our people still need you to fight.
00:03:55Aurora,
00:03:57I don't know how to make you get it.
00:04:00None 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.
00:04:13Kept mentioning the engagement.
00:04:16Leon was always just there.
00:04:19Quietly, awkwardly there.
00:04:21And I threw that away chasing someone who never gave a damn about me.
00:04:26I wasted everything.
00:04:30My whole life.
00:04:31I was so blind.
00:04:34You were right there and I couldn't see it.
00:04:38And now it's too late.
00:04:45Leon,
00:04:48before I go,
00:04:50do one last thing for me.
00:04:52Take off this collar.
00:04:53I don't want to die wearing it.
00:04:57Okay.
00:05:06Leon,
00:05:08if I could do it all over again,
00:05:10I'd choose you.
00:05:14I really would.
00:05:17No!
00:05:19No!
00:05:23Aurora!
00:05:24God, you're stupid.
00:05:24That's your system with noxious resonance.
00:05:26The one who had your family killed.
00:05:27Aurora!
00:05:32I'm...
00:05:32I'm alive?
00:05:35No wounds.
00:05:36No collar.
00:05:43Which means...
00:05:45This is before Julian gave me the collar?
00:05:47This is...
00:05:49Seventh 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.
00:06:12It's not an energy stone.
00:06:14It's null stone.
00:06:15Now, I'd like a student to come up and demonstrate.
00:06:21Aurora?
00:06:22You?
00:06:26Isn'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.
00:06:41I'll clap.
00:06:42I will.
00:06:46Now, release your current.
00:07:06She can't even float an apple.
00:07:09Like, what is she even doing up there?
00:07:12Can't hold a basic current steady?
00:07:14Yeah.
00:07:15No surprise there.
00:07:18Don't stop.
00:07:19Try again.
00:07:26Don't stop.
00:07:27What?
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?
00:08:01Aurora!
00:08:02Pull back!
00:08:03Pull 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 been rolled here.
00:08:30Half-blood trash.
00:08:34Apologize to Serena!
00:08:35Now!
00:08:40Is she trying to pick a fight?
00:08:41Julian is the strongest ability user in the whole school!
00:08:44Julian said it himself.
00:08:46Victor Hale is grooming him as successor.
00:08:47He's set to inherit the whole Hale estate.
00:08:49Aurora's just some servant's kid.
00:08:50Victor Hale's successor?
00:08:52Heir to the Hale estate?
00:08:53And 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.
00:09:05Apologize?
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!
00:09:16She's different today.
00:09:18Something's off.
00:09:19You're not letting me ride with you?
00:09:20Julian, you've got it backwards.
00:09:22You're not riding with me.
00:09:30Where's she going?
00:09:31No.
00:09:32No way.
00:09:36Is she serious right now?
00:09:38That's the Hale family airship!
00:09:40She just... got on?
00:09:41By herself?
00:09:43Before 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?
00:10:04His last name is Cross, not Hale.
00:10:06He's your son, Carl.
00:10:07Don'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,
00:10:24it's only a matter of time before it's ours.
00:10:30Aurora!
00:10:33You're a servant's kid!
00:10:35Get out of the pilot's seat!
00:10:36Now!
00:10:36Get down!
00:10:38You think you belong up there?
00:10:39What?
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,
00:11:05is this really worth it?
00:11:07I don't need you to let anything go.
00:11:09And 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 gonna win that?
00:11:34Come on.
00:11:35She's not worth it.
00:11:39Good riddance.
00:11:41Blocking the way like she owns the place.
00:11:42Who does she think she is?
00:11:44Carl.
00:11:45Do not clear them for departure.
00:11:48Miss...
00:11:49Miss, 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,
00:12:00you're not gonna like what happens next.
00:12:02You're really worked up today.
00:12:04But once Julian comes back and says the right things,
00:12:06you'll drop it.
00:12:07You always do.
00:12:11See that?
00:12:12That's how it's done!
00:12:14It's not even your airship.
00:12:16Stop pretending.
00:12:18Dad.
00:12:20There'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.
00:12:31Nice story.
00:12:32Who's your dad?
00:12:32The 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.
00:12:56System override.
00:13:00Carl Cross.
00:13:02For unauthorized eye-shopping of private property,
00:13:04you're terminated.
00:13:05Effective immediately.
00:13:06No.
00:13:07That's not...
00:13:08There has to be a mistake.
00:13:09You 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.
00:13:29You've actually pissed me off this time.
00:13:32Good.
00:13:33Get used to it.
00:13:38This is just the beginning.
00:13:40Bye.
00:13:41Lord Julian.
00:13:57It's all still here.
00:13:59We still have a chance to fix this.
00:14:11Dad.
00:14:15Aurora!
00:14:33Without you...
00:14:35None of it means anything to me.
00:14:39Dad.
00:14:41Leon.
00:14:45Look at that.
00:14:46You actually used his name.
00:14:48Know that guy today?
00:14:49Aurora, you okay?
00:14:51I'm fine.
00:14:53Hasn't seen her fiancé in a while and she's already tearing up.
00:14:57Very telling.
00:14:58Dad, stop and maybe...
00:15:00Give us a little room?
00:15:03Oh, I see how it is.
00:15:04How it is.
00:15:06I'm being dismissed.
00:15:10Leon.
00:15:12Would you want to have dinner with me tonight?
00:15:14Just us?
00:15:17I...
00:15:19Yeah.
00:15:21Absolutely.
00:15:22Of course.
00:15:29You look nervous.
00:15:31Sorry.
00:15:31I just didn't expect you to invite me like this.
00:15:34Out 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.
00:15:56Because 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...
00:16:11Aurora, who is this?
00:16:14Why 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.
00:16:31Of 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.
00:16:42I don't need you anymore.
00:16:44You can go.
00:16:46You...
00:16:46What?
00:16:47You 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.
00:16:59I 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.
00:17:31Every single day it'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.
00:17:46Don't.
00:17:50Relax.
00:17:51Back up.
00:17:52She's not interested.
00:18:07Aurora?
00:18:15Aurora.
00:18:16Once 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.
00:18:24Not 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.
00:18:30Kinda hard to take seriously.
00:18:34Not 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
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?
00:19:01That'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.
00:19:16The real heir to the Hale estate is...
00:19:22Yeah?
00:19:23Who?
00:19:24Chloe, shut up.
00:19:28Perfect timing.
00:19:30Why 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?
00:19:41Class 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.
00:19:53I 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?
00:20:06That'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.
00:20:27Aurora's out here in discount clothes trying to act like she runs the place.
00:20:30It's actually embarrassing.
00:20:31Julian'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.
00:20:40It'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.
00:21:00This 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, he kissed Serena in front of me.
00:21:10Julian, tonight I'm going to give you a birthday you actually want.
00:21:14Don'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. I can go wherever I want.
00:21:24Julian didn't even invite you!
00:21:26Are you Julian's dog or Serena's?
00:21:28Neither 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.
00:21:37Honestly almost forgot until I ran into you just now.
00:21:40What are you playing at? Is this about me not inviting you?
00:21:44Aurora, it's Julian's birthday. Don'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.
00:21:50Who do you think you are? A servant's daughter putting her hands on her!
00:21:57You actually pushed me? I'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. Let's not make this a whole thing.
00:22:19Aurora, I'm not gonna hold any of this against you.
00:22:22You said you'd come celebrate, right? Everyone'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?
00:22:34Alright then, let's have some fun.
00:22:39Right, okay. It'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. You 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 gonna let your birthday be embarrassing.
00:22:58There it is. Same old Aurora. Talks big and still ends up spending money on me.
00:23:02Some things never change.
00:23:04That's more like it.
00:23:05Alright everyone, let's go.
00:23:12Okay, what are you up to?
00:23:13Think of it as my thank you for stepping in back there.
00:23:16You're about to watch something really good. I just need you to go along with it.
00:23:20Yeah, alright. I'm in.
00:23:32Julian, come on. That 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. Tonight'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.
00:23:58When that bill hits the table, your face is gonna be absolutely worth all of it.
00:24:02If that guy hadn't showed up out of nowhere earlier...
00:24:05Okay, but who even is he? He's not nobody.
00:24:08Right? There's something about him.
00:24:10Aurora brought some guy to make me jealous?
00:24:13Please. I 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.
00:24:32Help yourself.
00:24:34The guy you brought though, he's not included.
00:24:36Oh, so I'm not paying?
00:24:38That's great.
00:24:40Mr. 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?
00:24:48Why is the hotel charging its owner?
00:24:54Wasn't the room already taken care of?
00:24:56Owner's orders.
00:24:57Whoever buys, pays.
00:25:00Excuse me?
00:25:01This is Julian's hotel.
00:25:03You're seriously gonna 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
00:25:12and pass themselves off as the owner.
00:25:15Wait, who is he talking to?
00:25:16The owner? Aurora?
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 whatever they want,
00:25:32and somehow the bill ends 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?
00:25:50It 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.
00:26:03Okay, that's actually pretty good.
00:26:06Here'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.
00:26:29And maybe I'll think about it.
00:26:33Are you being serious right now?
00:26:36Julian...
00:26:37You're not actually going to...
00:26:40Not gonna do it?
00:26:42Fine.
00:26:43Leon, let's head out.
00:26:45Wait.
00:26:47Please.
00:26:56There we go.
00:26:59Manager, I've got the bill.
00:27:02Total, 8,600,000.
00:27:07Happy 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 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.
00:27:22In 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.
00:27:35Every single bit of it.
00:27:37Oh Julian, we're just getting started.
00:27:42Keep the frequency steady.
00:27:44Don't force it with a motion.
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, your control is.
00:27:52Okay, one 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?
00:28:10Miss 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, I 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 and dead and you know it.
00:28:34Just 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!
00:28:50Now!
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.
00:29:43Shut up.
00:29:45All of you.
00:29:51Feeling good about yourself?
00:29:53You humiliated me in front of everyone?
00:29:54What, because I didn't pick you over Serena?
00:29:58The audacity to say that out loud.
00:30:00Incredible.
00:30:01Let me be straight with you, Aurora.
00:30:03It doesn't matter what you do, I'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 and now you want to act like you're the victim?
00:30:16Hang on.
00:30:17Julian's the one who couldn't pay his own bill last night.
00:30:20Yeah, so why is he making this her fault?
00:30:22She'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.
00:30:29Aurora, 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, tear me down, and drain my ability.
00:30:47Tell 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, 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?
00:31:33Julian'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.
00:31:46Is she serious?
00:31:48She's going up against Julian on an ability assessment?
00:31:51800?
00:31:51She 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 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?
00:32:28I had some business at the school.
00:32:29Thought I'd take you home.
00:32:30Last time, you died right in front of me and there was nothing I could do.
00:32:33That's never happening again.
00:32:35Okay.
00:32:36What's going on with you today?
00:32:38Nothing.
00:32:39Alright.
00:32:40Alright.
00:32:40Someone mess with you today?
00:32:41No.
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?
00:33:07That's just some old guy.
00:33:11Why is he so friendly with Aurora?
00:33:13Seriously?
00:33:14I'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 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
00:33:51until I didn't even know what I was capable of anymore.
00:33:55Then I'm counting on you.
00:33:57Let's get to work.
00:34:04Again.
00:34:05Again.
00:34:10Again.
00:34:16Yes!
00:34:17That's it!
00:34:18Okay, 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.
00:34:36Easy.
00:34:37Easy.
00:34:38You've got it.
00:34:43There it is!
00:34:47Take 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.
00:35:10No.
00:35:12I couldn't have gotten here without you.
00:35:15I genuinely didn't think I could do this.
00:35:17Leon 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 and tricked me into wearing a bunch of green nullstone.
00:35:32No.
00:35:32You 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.
00:35:56You're finally here to grab your stuff from the basement.
00:35:58Make sure you get everything.
00:36:00Feeling 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.
00:36:07You never will.
00:36:09You seem really sure about that.
00:36:10Admit 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.
00:36:49It 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, help the workers move your assigned containers
00:37:09from 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, kinda sad.
00:38:14You look completely lost!
00:38:16Let me help!
00:38:25You can't pull it!
00:38:26They're totally locked in place!
00:38:45She's moving the whole group at once?
00:38:47No.
00:38:49She's going to beat me.
00:38:51I am not losing to you!
00:39:02Chloe 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 Hale, complete.
00:39:40Zero error.
00:39:41Zero risk.
00:39:42Hyatt grade.
00:39:45So, how'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?!
00:39:55She had every single target locked from the start!
00:39:58That's not possible!
00:39:58How did she just...
00:39:59Well?
00:40:00Isn'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.
00:40:17Serena only third?
00:40:19Then who's second?
00:40:20Second 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 Hale.
00:40:34Aurora Hale.
00:40:35Composite grade, A percent.
00:40:38What?!
00:40:40Aurora is first?
00:40:42She actually got an A+.
00:40:46Catch that?
00:40:48A plus.
00:40:50Top of the class.
00:40:55I won.
00:40:56Julian, a bet's a bet.
00:40:59Bra, skirt, energy 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, don'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, 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.
00:41:30When 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.
00:41:46And you know what that means.
00:41:47A dead last student like you?
00:41:49Your old schools speak for themselves!
00:41:51You are getting examined today!
00:41:54Right!
00:41:55She must have a cheat device on her!
00:41:57Search her!
00:41:58If she didn't cheat, what's she afraid of?
00:42:00Fine.
00:42:01You wanna check me?
00:42:02Go 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, everyone who tested in the same session gets checked.
00:42:21Otherwise, 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.
00:42:50Chloe.
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, someone used this to temporarily transfer energy to you, helping you complete the assessment.
00:43:13Isn'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.
00:43:24She'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? Can she even graduate?
00:43:37A formal demerriage will be issued and her test scores are nullified.
00:43:42If you breathe a word about me, you're done.
00:43:45Now, does anyone else want to accuse me of cheating?
00:43:48Given that a cheat device was involved during the test, in the interest of fully settling this dispute, Aurora, are
00:43:54you willing to retest?
00:43:55Absolutely. And 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.
00:44:20So 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.
00:45:06Like 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, should 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.
00:45:52Do you have to be this relentless about it?
00:45:55Relentless?
00:45:55You'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!
00:46:12Aurora, 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.
00:46:22No.
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.
00:46:40You want to make it easier on him, don't you?
00:46:43I-I-I go.
00:46:44Or 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!
00:47:11Happy now?

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?
00:56:37what are you saying?
00:56:38it'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
00:56:45i 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
00:56:51about you
00:56:52what you need most right now
00:56:54is money
00:56:55coaching her
00:56:55pays more than any odd job
00:56:57you could pick up outside
00:56:58and your dad's debt
00:56:59that has to be handled first
00:57:00doesn'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
00:57:06not to get back together we're with her
00:57:09you're broke
00:57:10if you don't earn something
00:57:12what exactly do i have to spend?
00:57:15all right
00:57:15i'm just looking out for you
00:57:17if you're too embarrassed to ask her yourself
00:57:19i'll go say it for you
00:57:21would she even take me back at this point?
00:57:25did you mean
00:57:26what you said earlier?
00:57:28which part?
00:57:31that you're the one
00:57:32pursuing 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
00:57:44let julian
00:57:46continue as your ability coach?
00:57:48seriously?
00:57:49you interrupted my evening for
00:57:51this?
00:57:52julian 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
00:58:24if the only reason you're shutting julian out is 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
00:58:36you're just still holding a grudge aren't you?
00:58:39stop pretending to know me
00:58:40let's talk about you serena
00:58:42you 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?
00:59:02who gave you the right to say that?
00:59:04i 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

00:59:42serena thinks you're broke
00:59:43thinks you're a burden
00:59:44thinks your dad is an embarrassment
00:59:45and 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?

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
01:12:59he'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! everyone quiet!
01:13:12enough!
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 i have emphasized only one thing
01:13:21peace
01:13:22peace is not words
01:13:24it is not applause in an auditorium while saying
01:13:26mutual prosperity
01:13:27peace 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
