00:01:09my ability is s class then this caller you said the blue stone would help me control my power

00:01:54so from day one there was never any love there was there you're still on that every single
00:02:00day of those seven years was something i had to survive if it weren't for your father's name

00:03:03ahhhh
00:03:05przez
00:03:06ahhhh
00:03:07ui
00:03:10u
00:03:26No!
00:03:31Stop.
00:03:33You're wasting your energy.
00:03:36There's nothing left to do.
00:03:39But if you're gone, what'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.
00:03:56Aurora, I 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.
00:04:14Kept 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.
00:04:27I wasted everything.
00:04:30My whole life.
00:04:32I was so blind.
00:04:34You were right there and I couldn't see it.
00:04:38And now it's too late.
00:04:47Leon, before I go, do one last thing for me.
00:04:52Take off this collar.
00:04:54I don't want to die wearing it.
00:04:57Okay.
00:05:08Leon, if I could do it all over again, I'd choose you.
00:05:14I really would.
00:05:18No!
00:05:19No!
00:05:23God, you're stupid.
00:05:25Bloods your system with noxious resonance.
00:05:26I'm the one who had your family full.
00:05:27Aurora!
00:05:32I'm alive.
00:05:35No wounds.
00:05:37No collar.
00:05:43Which means,
00:05:45this is before Julian gave me the collar?
00:05:48This is
00:05:48seventh 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.
00:06:07It 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.
00:06:14It's null stone.
00:06:15Now, I'd like a student to come up and demonstrate.
00:06:21Aurora?
00:06:23You?
00:06:27Isn't she the worst student in the class?
00:06:30Great.
00:06:31Here 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.
00:06:47Now, release your current.
00:07:07She 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, no surprise there.
00:07:18Don't stop.
00:07:19Try again.
00:07:28What?
00:07:29Waiting for me to come fix it for you?
00:07:35You're still on that?
00:07:37Every single day of those seven years was something I had to survive.
00:07:41If it weren't for your father's name...
00:07:45I wouldn't have given you a second look.
00:07:54What?
00:08:02Aurora!
00:08:02Pull back!
00:08:04Aurora!
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.
00:08:31Half-blood trash.
00:08:34Apologize to Serena!
00:08:36Now!
00:08:40Is she trying to pick a fight?
00:08:42Julian is the strongest ability user in the whole school!
00:08:45Julian said it himself.
00:08:46Victor Hale is grooming him as successor.
00:08:48He's set to inherit the whole Hale estate.
00:08:49Aurora's just some servant's kid.
00:08:51Victor Hale's successor?
00:08:52Heir to the Hale estate?
00:08:54And 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?
00:09:13You're exhausting!
00:09:14You're not riding back with us today!
00:09:17She's different today.
00:09:18Something's off.
00:09:19You're not letting me ride with you?
00:09:21Julian, you've got it backwards.
00:09:23You're not riding with me.
00:09:30Where's she coming?
00:09:32No.
00:09:33No way.
00:09:36Is she serious right now?
00:09:38That's the Hale family airship!
00:09:40She just got on?
00:09:42By 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.
00:10:08Don't tell me you forgot that.
00:10:09My son is your private coach.
00:10:11The Hale family's always been generous.
00:10:13Surely you wouldn't make your coach walk all the way home?
00:10:17Everyone knows you're obsessed with my son.
00:10:19He snaps his fingers and you come running.
00:10:23Everything 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!
00:10:35Get out of the pilot's seat!
00:10:36Now!
00:10:37Get down!
00:10:38You think you belong up there?
00:10:40What?
00:10:40You think you own it?
00:10:42Your airship?
00:10:44That's a pretty funny misunderstanding.
00:10:47Want me to clear it up for everyone right now?
00:10:51What is she doing?
00:10:52I have to get on this airlift in front of everyone.
00:10:54I can't let anyone find out I'm just the parking guy's son.
00:11:01Look, I'm not even mad anymore.
00:11:03I'll let it go.
00:11:04Aurora, is this really worth it?
00:11:07I don't need you to let anything go.
00:11:10And I'd really appreciate it if you stopped following me around.
00:11:13Are you kidding me right now?
00:11:15Julian, why are you still being nice to her?
00:11:20Get down.
00:11:24That's what you get.
00:11:26She really thought she was going to win that?
00:11:34Come on.
00:11:35She's not worth it.
00:11:40Good riddance.
00:11:41Blocking the way like she owns the place.
00:11:43Who does she think she is?
00:11:44Carl.
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, you're not going to like what happens next.
00:12:02You're really worked up today.
00:12:04But once Julian comes back and says the right things, you'll drop it.
00:12:07You always do.
00:12:12See that?
00:12:13That's how it's done.
00:12:14It's not even your airship.
00:12:16Stop pretending.
00:12:19Dad.
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?
00:12:33The principal?
00:12:33Is she about to say she owns the school too?
00:12:37You really think one phone call fixes this?
00:12:41Just watch.
00:12:51What happened?
00:12:53You literally just left.
00:12:54The academy forced a lockdown.
00:12:57System override.
00:13:00Carl Cross.
00:13:02For unauthorized eye shopping of private or property, you're terminated.
00:13:06Effective immediately.
00:13:06No, that's not...
00:13:08There has to be a mistake.
00:13:10You had no authority over that airship.
00:13:12Get off me!
00:13:13I was doing my job!
00:13:14He actually got fired.
00:13:17One call and she just...
00:13:20I apologize that this happened on school grounds, Miss Hale.
00:13:23Your airship's access been fully restored.
00:13:28Aurora.
00:13:29You've actually pissed me off this time.
00:13:32Good.
00:13:33Get used to it.
00:13:37Good.
00:13:37Get used to it.
00:13:39This is just the beginning.
00:13:41Bye.
00:13:42Lord Julian.
00:13:58It's all still here.
00:14:00We still have a chance to fix this.
00:14:10Dad.
00:14:29Aurora!
00:14:33Without you, none of it means anything to me.
00:14:40Dad, Leon.
00:14:45Look at that. You actually used his name. Know that guy today?
00:14:49Aurora, you okay?
00:14:52I'm fine.
00:14:53Hasn't seen her fiancé in a while and she's already tearing up. Very telling.
00:14:58Dad, stop and maybe... give us a little room?
00:15:03Oh, I see how it is. How it is, I'm being dismissed.
00:15:11Leon, would you want to have dinner with me tonight?
00:15:14Just us?
00:15:15I...
00:15:19Yeah.
00:15:21Absolutely.
00:15:22Of course.
00:15:29You look nervous.
00:15:30Sorry. 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.
00:15:56Because I want you around more.
00:15:59A lot more.
00:16:05Starting with...
00:16:06Becoming my new coach.
00:16:10Are 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.
00:16:20Strongest bloody ability user alive.
00:16:22Pretty sure you've heard of him.
00:16:23Aurora.
00:16:24New coach?
00:16:25I'm your coach.
00:16:27If you let him anywhere near your training.
00:16:30I'm gone.
00:16:32Of course.
00:16:33She's just using me to get to Julian.
00:16:36Then go ahead.
00:16:37I knew you'd... wait, 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... what?
00:16:47You heard me.
00:16:49Leave.
00:16:52You heard her.
00:16:53I'm her coach now.
00:16:57Something is seriously wrong with her today.
00:16:59I need to get this back under control.
00:17:01Come on, Aurora.
00:17:02I 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.
00:17:34Destroying you from the inside.
00:17:41Nobody else is going to deal with your ability the way I do.
00:17:44Here.
00:17:45Let me put it on.
00:17:47Don't!
00:17:51Relax.
00:17:51Back up.
00:17:52She's not interested.
00:18:07Aurora?
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.
00:18:25Not interested in being anyone's pet.
00:18:27That's rich.
00:18:28Coming from the girl who used to follow me around all day.
00:18:30Kinda hard to take seriously.
00:18:35Not yet.
00:18:36Julian, what you owe me goes way beyond just my life.
00:18:40And I'm going to get every single piece of it back.
00:18:47You actually came back?
00:18:49A servant's daughter kicks the owner off his own airship and just walks in like nothing happened?
00:18:54Aurora, do you seriously think you belong here?
00:18:57She got the academy to lock down the whole parking lot yesterday.
00:19:00Over Julian's airship?
00:19:01That's actually insane.
00:19:04Hold on.
00:19:05Who did you just call a servant?
00:19:07You.
00:19:08Everyone here knows it.
00:19:09Julian is the heir Mr. Hale personally picked.
00:19:12You're just one of the help.
00:19:14Okay, so let's get something straight.
00:19:16The real heir to the Hale Estate is...
00:19:22Yeah?
00:19:23Who?
00:19:24Chloe, shut up.
00:19:28Perfect timing.
00:19:29Why don't you go ahead and clear that up?
00:19:32Right now, in front of everyone.
00:19:34Between the two of us, who's the servant and who's the heir?
00:19:39Aurora, are we done?
00:19:42Class is starting. I'm not doing this right now.
00:19:45Fine. I'm not in a rush to blow your cover today, Julian.
00:19:48There'll be plenty of opportunities.
00:19:51I can't let people start questioning who I am.
00:19:54I need to get them back on my side.
00:19:59Actually, since everyone's here, I'm throwing a birthday party at the Stellar Hotel this weekend.
00:20:04You're all invited.
00:20:05The Stellar Hotel?
00:20:07That's like the most exclusive place in the whole city!
00:20:09I heard you can't even get in the door for under a few hundred thousand!
00:20:12Julian, that's insane! You can just casually book a place like that?
00:20:16I heard Julian actually owns the Stellar Hotel.
00:20:18Of course he does! That's just how he operates!
00:20:22I knew it. Julian only wears the latest everything. There's no way he's broke.
00:20:27Aurora's out here in discount clothes trying to act like she runs the place. It's actually embarrassing.
00:20:32Julian's not usually one to make a big deal of things. But since we're all here, let's celebrate!
00:20:39Everyone's welcome. It's on me.
00:20:42He's covering everything?! Seriously?!
00:20:45This is why Mr. Hale picked him. Makes total sense.
00:20:48Last time around, I spent eight million on his birthday. Made him look incredible. Never got a thank you. Not
00:20:54doing that again.
00:21:01This is the place.
00:21:03I spent a fortune throwing Julian a birthday party here. And right when I was about to tell him how
00:21:08I felt, he kissed Serena in front of me.
00:21:11Julian, tonight I'm going to give you a birthday you actually won't forget.
00:21:15You seriously showed up? Julian hasn't looked at you in days and you're just crashing his birthday like it's nothing?
00:21:22It'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? Neither 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. Honestly 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. At the end of the day, you're just the daughter of his family's
00:21:49servant, so say that again.
00:21:51Who 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. Don't make me look bad.
00:22:27So this party really matters to you.
00:22:29If I tank your whole rich kid reputation tonight, that'd hurt worse than anything else I could do, wouldn't it?
00:22:35Alright then, let's have some fun.
00:22:39Right, okay. 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?
00:22:53Obviously. 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.
00:23:03Some things never change. That's more like it.
00:23:06Alright everyone, let's go.
00:23:12Okay, what are you up to?
00:23:14Think of it as my thank you for stepping in back there.
00:23:17You're about to watch something really good. I just need you to go along with it.
00:23:21Yeah, alright. I'm in.
00:23:23He's totally getting his wine.
00:23:32Julian, come on. That bottle alone must be worth thousands.
00:23:36This room is actually unreal.
00:23:39This is what it looks like when you actually own the place.
00:23:42Order whatever you want. 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.
00:23:59When 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...
00:24:06Okay, 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 is paying can actually cover it.
00:24:25Oh please, Julian's got the tab.
00:24:27Have whatever's left. Consider it a treat for the stray.
00:24:30She's not wrong. I ordered more than enough.
00:24:33Help yourself. The guy you brought though, he's not included.
00:24:36Oh, so I'm not paying? That's great.
00:24:41Mr. Cross, here's tonight's bill.
00:24:43We'd like to settle it now if you don't mind.
00:24:46Hang on! Isn'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. Whoever buys, pays.
00:25:00Excuse me? This is Julian's hotel.
00:25:03You're seriously gonna charge him?
00:25:05He could have you fired right now.
00:25:08Yeah! Fire him!
00:25:09Miss, someone here seems to be trying to skip out on the bill and pass themselves off as the owner.
00:25:15Wait, who is he talking to?
00:25:17The owner? Aurora?
00:25:18No way! This hotel is Julian's family's. Everyone knows that!
00:25:24Funny how that works.
00:25:26You booked the fanciest room in the building, let everyone eat and drink whatever they want, and somehow the bill
00:25:33ends up in front of me?
00:25:38Aurora. Come on, just cover it and we move on. Don't do this to me right now.
00:25:45Not really my problem, is it?
00:25:48The Stellar Hotel. That's your family's, right?
00:25:51It is.
00:25:52Can I borrow it tonight?
00:25:53What are you planning?
00:25:54I'm going to act like I'm spending money on Julian, but I won't actually pay.
00:25:59When he's completely out of options, he'll have to come to me.
00:26:04Okay, that's actually pretty good.
00:26:07Here's an idea. Everyone just splits it.
00:26:10Pull it together, see what happens.
00:26:14Wait, split it ourselves?
00:26:16Didn't Julian say he was covering everything?
00:26:18Aurora, stop messing around and just pay it.
00:26:21You want a favor?
00:26:23Then ask like you mean it.
00:26:26Get on your knees and ask me nicely.
00:26:29Maybe I'll think about it.
00:26:33Are you being serious right now?
00:26:37Julian...
00:26:38You're not actually going to...
00:26:40Not gonna do it?
00:26:42Fine. Leon, let's head out.
00:26:45Wait.
00:26:47Please.
00:26:56There we go.
00:26:59Manager, I've got the bill.
00:27:03Total, $8,600,000.
00:27:08Happy birthday, Julian.
00:27:10I'll cover it this time.
00:27:11But let's get one thing straight.
00:27:14I'm not here to bank vote you and your girlfriend.
00:27:17So 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.
00:27:36Every 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.
00:27:52Your control is.
00:27:53Okay.
00:27:53One more time.
00:27:55Miss Haley, you're finally back.
00:27:57I've brought Julian today to apologize.
00:27:59Looks like you've got something to handle.
00:28:01We can pick this up tomorrow.
00:28:02See ya.
00:28:03Bye.
00:28:06An apology, Carl?
00:28:08What exactly did he do that needs an apology?
00:28:11Miss Haley, come on.
00:28:12I heard you let him go as your coach?
00:28:13Yeah, I did.
00:28:14Every session made my ability worse, not better.
00:28:16Why would I keep him around?
00:28:17And honestly, neither of you should be coming to the Hale Estate anymore.
00:28:20That goes for both of you.
00:28:21Miss Haley, I made a mistake last time, I 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 in debt 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.
00:29:07Your 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.
00:29:19Aurora, 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, 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,
00:30:15and now you want to act like you're the victim?
00:30:16Hang on.
00:30:18Julian's the one who couldn't pay his own bill last night.
00:30:20Yeah, so why is he making this her fault?
00:30:23She's the one who made me invite everyone in the first place.
00:30:25I didn't even want to go.
00:30:27And then she turned around and made everyone look stupid.
00:30:30Aurora, you think money gives you the right to do whatever you want of people?
00:30:33And all that stuff about supporting me?
00:30:36That 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, tear me down, and drain my ability.
00:30:48Tell me one actually useful thing you ever did.
00:30:51You being bad at this has nothing to do with me.
00:30:54Your ability is weak because of what you are, a low-grade half-blood.
00:30:58That's not my problem.
00:31:00If you're so sure I'm a bad coach, fine.
00:31:03You've got a new one.
00:31:04Let's see what he can actually do.
00:31:06What does that mean?
00:31:07Are they seriously making a bet right now?
00:31:09Stability assessment.
00:31:12Score 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? Julian's literally putting himself on the line here.
00:31:36Fine.
00:31:37If I win, you put on a bra and a skirt, strap on energy restraint rings, and run 10 laps
00:31:42around the school.
00:31:43And if I win.
00:31:45Same thing for me.
00:31:47Is she serious?
00:31:48She's going up against Julian on an ability assessment?
00:31:51800?
00:31:52She barely scrapes 400 on a good day.
00:31:55Sure.
00:31:56You're on.
00:31:56Last time around, I couldn't even do basic energy control.
00:31:59I wore Julian's collar and never made it anywhere near a battlefield.
00:32:12This time, I'm going to train until I'm strong enough to protect the people I love.
00:32:23Aurora.
00:32:26Dad, what are you doing here?
00:32:28Had some business at the school, thought I'd take you home.
00:32:30Last time, you died right in front of me and there was nothing I could do.
00:32:34That's never happening again.
00:32:36Okay, what's going on with you today?
00:32:38Nothing.
00:32:39Alright, alright, someone messed with you today?
00:32:42No.
00:32:42I've just been thinking.
00:32:44I'm done being at the bottom of the class.
00:32:46I want to actually train.
00:32:48Get my ability to where it should be.
00:32:50Yeah?
00:32:50You mean that?
00:32:55That's what I'm talking about.
00:32:56That's my girl.
00:33:04Wait!
00:33:05Who is that?
00:33:08That's just some old guy.
00:33:11Why is he so friendly with Aurora?
00:33:14Seriously?
00:33:15I've been wondering where all her money comes from.
00:33:17Guess that answers it.
00:33:18She's got a sugar daddy.
00:33:20That explains why Julian was never into her.
00:33:27I made a bet with Julian.
00:33:29Score above 800 on the semester assessment.
00:33:31Whoever loses has to wear restraint rings.
00:33:33I'll get you there.
00:33:34And honestly, your training's already showing.
00:33:36I can feel it.
00:33:38Really?
00:33:39I figured you'd say 800 was way out of reach for someone like me.
00:33:42You're not what they say you are.
00:33:44Your ability's been held back.
00:33:46That's not the same thing as being weak.
00:33:48He's right.
00:33:49Last time Julian chipped away at me bit by bit until I didn't even know what I was capable
00:33:53of anymore.
00:33:55Then I'm counting on you.
00:33:57Let's get to work.
00:34:04Again.
00:34:06Again.
00:34:10Again.
00:34:12Again.
00:34:15Again.
00:34:17Yes!
00:34:18That's it!
00:34:18Okay, we're moving to the next stage.
00:34:21God, 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.
00:34:38Easy.
00:34:38You've got it.
00:34:43There it is!

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

00:45:22serena
00:45:24point deducted. Serena, point deducted. How is this possible? The result of this test?
00:45:33Aurora wins. Her performance speaks for itself. No cheating involved.
00:45:41Now, should we talk about our bet?
00:45:47Retest is done. I didn't cheat. Time to settle the bet. It's just one test. Do you have to be
00:45:53this relentless about it? Relentless? You're the ones who accused me of cheating and then got
00:45:58caught cheating yourselves. And now you won't pay up? Julian, bra and skirt, energy restraint rings,
00:46:0415 burpees in front of the whole school, then 10 laps around the track. You apologize the entire
00:46:09time you run. In your dreams! Aurora, enough. Julian is still- Oh, right. You too. The teacher gave you
00:46:18a chance to make things right, but left your punishment up to me. You're joining, Julian.
00:46:22Julian. No. Oh, Chloe. Since your loyalty to Julian is so deep, I'll allow it. You can run his 10
00:46:33laps for him. 10 laps? I'll die! Chloe, you're the one who started all of this. Julian got dragged into
00:46:39it trying to protect everyone. You want to make it easier on him, don't you? I-I-I go. Or
00:46:45I won't
00:46:45hesitate to expose every time I helped you cheat over the past few years. Don't try to use your
00:46:53ability. It'll only make it worse. She passed out! Get her to the nurse's office!
00:47:12happy now? That look suits you, actually. Feeling any better? Aurora, we can't let her get away with
00:47:26this. She's always running around with that older man from outside school, right? A young
00:47:32girl suddenly hang around some older guy, suddenly flush with money. We all know what
00:47:37that means. You mean? All we need to do is find the right public moment to put it out
00:47:44there. It'll be quite the show.
00:47:54Aurora?
00:48:16Why aren't you in the training room? Training's on hold tonight. On hold? Because tonight, I'm
00:48:24celebrating your birthday. How did you know? That's...
00:48:41Leo, isn't it? Beautiful and perfect control. You can actually do this now. Congratulations,
00:48:52I mean it. Congratulations. This is the best gift I've ever received.
00:49:00Then I need you to promise me something. Anything. Tomorrow, all our classmates are going
00:49:05to the beach. Will you come?
00:49:24I got another one! Aurora? Why is it always her? Don't lose your nerve. Win it back.
00:49:37Her ability is so unfair! Just a harmless little current. It won't hurt you. Feel free to use
00:49:43your light whip if you want. Again! Put away that useless whip! You can't manage your ability
00:49:53and play at the same time. You're just getting in the way. But Aurora can do it. When did she
00:49:57get this good?
00:50:09That's fast!
00:50:22You okay?
00:50:28Who is he? He's gorgeous! This scene! I can barely breathe! I'm fine. Let me handle him.
00:50:48He's unreal. How does Aurora know someone like him?
00:51:03How is anyone supposed to return that?
00:51:14That... easy?
00:51:25He... he... returned all of them? How is that possible?
00:51:30Julian's speed looks like child's play next to him.
00:51:42His rhythm is breaking down. Opening... on the left.
00:51:55Aurora!
00:52:09They won? That was brutal. You were incredible.
00:52:13Your reaction was fast enough too.
00:52:16Really?
00:52:21They are so in sync!
00:52:23That last move?!
00:52:25That last move?!
00:52:26Aurora, drop the act. Everything you have, you won it because of a man, didn't you?
00:52:34Who was that old man who picked you up at school every day? Did you think no one noticed?
00:52:39Shut up.
00:52:40Sir, I'm saying this for your own good. Don't be fooled by her. She's not as innocent as she looks.
00:52:44She's just a servant's daughter who's happy to let some old guy pay her way...
00:53:03That was too far. We're just worried about Aurora being taken advantage of. We were just reminding her, as friends.
00:53:11Your idea of reminding her is spreading filthy lies about her?
00:53:14But, isn't she the one chasing you? The more you know about her situation, the better.
00:53:20Let me clarify. Aurora is not chasing me. I'm the one pursuing her.
00:53:26Impossible! Why would you want her? She's already been with an old...
00:53:33I mean it.
00:53:36Yes. You can pursue me.
00:53:39Aurora! Done performing?
00:53:40You were nothing but a simp. The whole school saw how you chased me.
00:53:43Now you lash into someone new and pretend you're above it all?
00:53:46You think I can't see through this? You just want to make me jealous.
00:53:50Fine. I'll give you a chance. Come back now and I'll consider making you my girlfriend.
00:53:55Julian, you are a joke. I was the one who was blind. I 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? That the world revolves around you?
00:54:07You're with Serena and you're standing right next to her saying this.
00:54:11You don't even find that embarrassing? I feel bad for her.
00:54:14Is your forgiveness supposed to be worth something? Keep it for yourself.
00:54:18Fine. Very fine. Aurora, you'll regret this.
00:54:24Julian made a complete fool of himself today. Why does this moron get to be pursued by someone
00:54:28like Leon while I'm stuck with a broke loser like Julian?
00:54:33Don't be upset. Everything I said back there, I was just annoyed at Aurora for being so full of
00:54:38herself. I said it to get a reaction. You're the one I want to be with. I'm not giving her
00:54:42any opening.
00:54:43I know. I just feel a little beaten down. She has that older man protecting her. And now she has
00:54:49someone like Leon at her side. No matter what I do, I just can't measure up to her.
00:54:53Oh, stop. Someone like Aurora doesn't compare to you.
00:54:58Come on. We've been playing for hours. You must be hungry. Tonight, whatever you want. My treat.
00:55:03Really?
00:55:04Of course. Go ahead.
00:55:07I'll have the lobster pasta, the charcoal grilled wagyu, a dozen oysters, truffle fries,
00:55:13and a sea salt caramel souffle. Best champagne you have. Thank you.
00:55:18Somebody's ordering big. Which rich kid is this?
00:55:32Check, please.
00:55:39Payment decline insufficient funds.
00:55:42Try again.
00:55:43Payment decline insufficient funds.
00:55:45You can't pay and you ordered all that?
00:55:47From the way he was acting, I actually thought he was somebody.
00:55:50Sir, would you like to try a different payment method?
00:55:54Dad, what happened to the money in my account?
00:55:56I needed it. So I moved it.
00:55:58Did you gamble it away again?
00:55:59Shut your mouth. You don't get to lecture me.
00:56:02By the way, you're on your own for next year's tuition.
00:56:05So he's broke.
00:56:06Showing off like that and now no one's here to bail him out.
00:56:09I see now. You're not a rich heir at all. The one with real money is Aurora.
00:56:13You're just a broke loser she's been supporting.
00:56:15Julian, I'm suddenly not hungry anymore.
00:56:18You finish up.
00:56:21Serena, let me explain. The money was just temporarily moved by my dad.
00:56:26I'll figure out a way to earn it back. I swear I won't let you down.
00:56:31Julian, a whole month of part-time work, probably pays less than one day as Aurora's private ability
00:56:36coach. Am I wrong?
00:56:38What are you saying?
00:56:39It's very simple. What you need to do right now is go to Aurora and ask her to hire you
00:56:44back as her coach.
00:56:46I finally got free of that woman. Just want to be with you now and you're telling me to go
00:56:49back and work for her?
00:56:50I'm thinking about you. What you need most right now is money. Coaching her pays more than any odd job
00:56:57you could pick up outside. And your dad's debt? That has to be handled first, doesn't it?
00:57:02I don't want to do this.
00:57:03What's the big deal? I'm just asking you to go earn money from her, not to get back together. We're
00:57:07with her.
00:57:09You're broke. If you don't earn something, what exactly do I have to spend?
00:57:15All right. I'm just looking out for you. If 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. It's always been true.
00:57:39Aurora, I need to ask you something.
00:57:43What is it?
00:57:44Could you let Julian continue as your ability coach? Seriously? You interrupted my evening for this?
00:57:53Julian is really struggling right now. You've probably heard about his father.
00:57:56Your family has plenty of money, and Julian's ability is strong. If you agree,
00:58:00I promise he'll take the coaching seriously this time.
00:58:03Do you think I'm stupid? The two of you are together now,
00:58:05and you want me to pay him a salary and effectively support both of you?
00:58:10Aurora, I'm willing to forgive everything you've done. From now on,
00:58:13we keep it strictly professional. Coach and student, that's all.
00:58:18I remember someone just said he'd never forgive me.
00:58:24Aurora, if the only reason you're shutting Julian out is because of me and him,
00:58:29I can break up with him. Please don't. Then he'll turn around and say I forced you to leave him.
00:58:36I get it, Aurora. You're just still holding a grudge, aren't you?
00:58:39Stop pretending to know me. Let's talk about you, Serena. You liked Julian because he was the top student,
00:58:46the school's heartthrob, everyone's chosen heir. Now that you've found out he's not rich at all,
00:58:51his dad's a gambler buried in debt, you've changed your mind. You want to turn him into a money-making
00:58:57tool,
00:58:58so you can slowly discard him and move on to someone with better prospects, right?
00:59:03Who gave you the right to say that? I just think Julian deserves a better future.
00:59:07Right. And without a better future, how could he keep spending money on you?
00:59:12Aurora, enough. I'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. Isn't giving you a chance to get close to Julia a good thing?
00:59:25You love him. After all, keep your charity. I don't collect garbage.
00:59:32Aurora, enough. Stop going after Serena.
00:59:39You got sold out and you're still counting the money for them.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Serena thinks you're broke, thinks you're a burden, thinks your dad is an embarrassment,
00:59:46and she's putting on this whole act of self-sacrifice while pushing you back at me.
00:59:50And you're still defending her? Julian, you're a complete idiot.
00:59:54Julian, don't! Aurora and I just have a misunderstanding.
00:59:58Julian, I have a better coach now, and a better boyfriend. Someone like you, not a consideration.
01:00:05Aurora, don't think bringing some random guy to make me jealous is going to change anything.
01:00:09Aurora, ignore him. Let's go.
01:00:15Julian doesn't have much use left, but Leon, I need to find a way to push Aurora and Julian back
01:00:20together.
01:00:20That would give me a way to get close to Leon.
01:00:24Better coach. Better boyfriend.
01:00:28What? Any objections?
01:00:30I think I need to earn those words.
01:00:36From here on, I'm training you to be number one in the year.
01:00:39I want you to surpass Julia and Serena in all four areas.
01:00:42Combine combat, precision control, sustained output, and environmental takeover.
01:00:47At this year's graduation ceremony, you'll stand on that stage as the student representative.
01:00:51Everyone who ever called you a failure will have to look up at you.
01:00:54In my past life, I was useless in the war. I died with the name of a failure, while Julian
01:01:00and Serena walked over my father's body.
01:01:01This time, I will make myself strong enough. Strong enough to defeat them both.
01:01:07Yes. I'm going to be number one. I'm going to surpass Julian and Serena.
01:01:13You will. One more thing. Stay away from Julian. I looked into his family background.
01:01:18His father was a former gang member. Alcoholic, compulsive gambler.
01:01:22I know. I already know all of it. Julian. Carl. You 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? You're going to hold a little money against your own father?
01:01:40That was my tuition for Nexi, my sister.
01:01:42Tuition? When you were living at the Hale Estate, you never once asked me for tuition money.
01:01:47When you were with Aurora, you were bringing home cash hand over win. You remember how we lived?
01:01:52And now, you screwed it all up.
01:01:55Shut up.
01:01:56You shut up!
01:01:57A brainless heiress like Aurora, you should have had her completely wrapped around your finger,
01:02:02and you couldn't even keep up the act. Look what you've done to me!
01:02:05Tomorrow, you go to Aurora and apologize. Get her to hire you back as her coach.
01:02:10No.
01:02:11You're going whether you want to or not. Otherwise, I beat you every day until you do.
01:02:16Carl! Get out here!
01:02:21Three months, Carl. When are you planning to pay me back?
01:02:24Zane, just give me two more days. I'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? Then why did you even come back?
01:02:42Drop the act, Carl. Boys, beat them both.
01:02:51Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop hitting!
01:02:54You're going to kill us!
01:02:57Can't pay your debts? This is what you deserve.
01:02:59I have a plan. There's a rich iress who's crazy about my son. Her 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. She always does.
01:03:08Fine. Tomorrow at noon. If I don't see three million, I kill your son.
01:03:12Miss Hale! Save Julian! He's been taken! The kidnappers want three million!
01:03:16Kidnappers? Then call the police. What are you coming to me for?
01:03:19We can't call the police! They'll kill him! Miss Hale, I'm begging you, please save him!
01:03:24Whether he lives or dies, what does that have to do with me?
01:03:26Miss Hale, you're just angry at him. When he comes back, I'll have him on his knees begging to make
01:03:30things right with you. How about that?
01:03:31No need. I'd be thrilled if he never came back. Though if he dragged himself back missing an arm or
01:03:36a leg, that might actually be fun. He's your son, not mine.
01:03:41The Hale family bullies their employees! You leave people to die! My son and I gave years of our lives
01:03:48to this family, and this is how you treat them?
01:03:52If you don't agree today, I'm staying here until I die!
01:03:57Fine. I'm not sticking around for this. Miss Hale, you can't be this cruel!
01:04:01Carl, what's going on? Mr. Hale, please! Julian's been taken! They want three million, and the young miss won't help
01:04:07him!
01:04:07Three million. Give it to him, and send him away.
01:04:10Thank you, Mr. Hale! Thank you!
01:04:13I know Julian is no good. Take the ransom money to them yourself. His life is in your hands now.
01:04:19How you let off steam is entirely up to you.
01:04:21Understood, Dad.
01:04:26Miss, here he is.
01:04:27Oh, you knocked him out?
01:04:28Oh, we had no way of knowing he was a friend of yours.
01:04:30Is it just-
01:04:30No, I meant, you could have been a bit rougher to wake him up.
01:04:34I understand, miss. Keep going!
01:04:37Stop!
01:04:38Stop it!
01:04:40Keep going!
01:04:43Stop! Please don't! Please don't!
01:04:46Don't crack a little girl like me! How could I possibly stop any of you?
01:04:50Don't stop! Keep going!
01:04:52Stop! Please don't hit him anymore!
01:04:55He's an honor student and the heir to the HAL estate!
01:04:59Aurora, help me.
01:05:02What if you cripple him? What if you ruin his face? You're so cruel, really stop!
01:05:08How do I know you're actually trying to save him and not just stall him?
01:05:11Boys, wait for the money and keep hitting. Let's see which comes first, the cash or the funeral.
01:05:18Does it hurt?
01:05:19This doesn't even come close to one ten-thousandth of what I suffered in my past life.
01:05:28Aurora, you came for me?
01:05:30Of course.
01:05:32Your father came to our home begging in tears for three million.
01:05:35My father didn't want to, luckily I spoke up for you.
01:05:38Julian, now you know who actually cares about you, don't you?
01:05:41Everything before, that was all my fault. I swear, from now on I'll treat you right.
01:05:46Good. Let me get someone to take you to the hospital first.
01:05:52Aurora, for you. Your favorite, hazelnut latte. I went out of my way to get it.
01:05:58Your memory's as bad as ever. I stopped drinking that a long time ago.
01:06:02That's fine, I also got an ice americano with a double shot.
01:06:05Weren't you into strong coffee lately?
01:06:08Aurora, I made this for you myself.
01:06:14Wow, that's a full spread. That's incredible.
01:06:18Now this is something, Leon. Thank you.
01:06:22Aurora, are you messing with me?
01:06:28You do realize drinking coffee on an empty stomach is hard on Aurora's stomach, right?
01:06:35Aurora!
01:06:38What exactly is going on between you and Leon?
01:06:41Are you already together?
01:06:42Let go, you're hurting me.
01:06:44Stop acting. I can see it. Every time you look at him, your eyes are different.
01:06:48You never looked at me that way.
01:06:50Does that hurt? I've been there a thousand times worse.
01:06:54I gave you everything, and you stepped on me and played me for a fool.
01:07:00Aurora, what's gotten into you? When did I ever deceive you?
01:07:03Stop performing.
01:07:06Okay, I admit there was something between Serena and me before, but since I cleared the air with you,
01:07:11I've been serious. Why can't you just-
01:07:14Get off me!
01:07:16You still care about me. I know you do.
01:07:23Didn't you hear her say, get off? What does this have to do with you? Do you have any idea
01:07:26how much
01:07:26Aurora was in love with me? She's with you now just to boost her scores and make me notice her.
01:07:30You really think you have any right to play hero for her?
01:07:32I was actually going to string you along a bit longer, let you find out what it's like to pour
01:07:36your heart out to someone who treats it like garbage. But who the hell do you think you are
01:07:40speaking to Leon like that? Stay away from me from now on. Come near me one more time,
01:07:45and 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. I was the one who was too naive before. At least this time,
01:07:59I didn't let him get what he wanted.
01:08:02Aurora, did he hurt you like this before? In the past?
01:08:07I once had a dream. In the dream, I couldn't see someone's true face no matter how hard I tried.
01:08:12I gave him everything I had, and in the end, he got me killed.
01:08:16That person was Julian?
01:08:17I regretted it. I couldn't accept it, but the dream ended. I woke up.
01:08:25Was I in your dream?
01:08:30Yes. At the very end of the dream, you appeared. And after that, everything was better.
01:08:36Once the graduation ceremony is over, I'll tell you the rest of the story.
01:08:40Good. I'll wait. Oh, you've been confirmed as this year's student representative for the graduation
01:08:46ceremony. After the ceremony, I have something for you.
01:08:50Thank you in advance. Everything I've achieved, that's all down to my coach.
01:09:05My darling girl, don't be nervous tonight. Dad can't wait to hear your speech.
01:09:11Don't worry. I won't disappoint you.
01:09:15Go on in.
01:09:16You took my spot as student representative, and now you think you're going to stand on
01:09:21that stage and shine? Aurora, I will ruin you in front of the entire school.
01:09:30Tonight is our graduation ceremony, and our night of honors. This school was established
01:09:34through the efforts of our mutant war hero, Victor Holt. Our school motto has always been one line,
01:09:39to let mutants and humans grow together under the same sky and flourish as one. Each of you seated
01:09:44here tonight has passed seven years of this school's trial. Now, please welcome this year's
01:09:50student representative to the stage for the commencement address.
01:09:54Good evening, everyone. I'm your student representative for tonight, and I'm proud to be standing here.
01:09:59For a long time, I was not someone others considered worthy of this school,
01:10:03but today, I want to start by saying thank you to- I have an accusation!
01:10:14Aurora has no right to stand here. She has no morals. She's some old man's pepped woman,
01:10:21spending his money bullying her classmates, and now she gets to stand on this stage as
01:10:25student representative? I'm making this accusation under my own name!
01:10:35Everyone, look at the evidence! Aurora and this older man, look how close they are!
01:10:40She used this disgusting relationship to get money and status she never earned.
01:10:45A disgrace like her, what right does she have to represent us? So it's actually true,
01:10:51she really is being kept by some old man. Aurora, your taste is something else. Old and bald,
01:10:57and you still went for it? Old and bald. Sir, these students are out of line. I'll handle it
01:11:05immediately. No need. I'd like to see how this plays out.
01:11:13This is the man you're calling my keeper? The evidence is right there! Are you going to deny it?
01:11:19You're not wrong. He is someone I love. Though at the moment, he can only rank second among the men
01:11:30I love.
01:11:32You're actually admitting it? Aurora, you've got absolutely no shame when it comes to money! You
01:11:37actually like some old, bald man?! I said I love him. Is there a problem with that?
01:11:43Are we not allowed to tell the truth now? Aurora, you have absolutely no shame. Every school board
01:11:50member is here tonight. You're saying this in front of the entire school. Do you feel no embarrassment
01:11:55whatsoever?! Someone like her should be expelled! Exactly, expeller! Student representative, her?
01:11:59Julian, you know her better than anyone. Tell us, is she being kept or not? Right, you were her coach,
01:12:03you must know! Julian, I'm giving you one last chance. You tell everyone what is the relationship
01:12:11between me and the man in that photo. The person in the photo is, no. If I say it, what
01:12:20happens to Serena?
01:12:22This photo is beyond appropriate. Aurora, if you apologize right now, you can still walk away with
01:12:28some dignity! Julian, you really haven't changed at all. Still love turning everything on its head.
01:12:35Aurora, don't change the subject. You're the one changing the subject, fine. Since you want to burn it all
01:12:39down in front of the whole school, I'll lay everything out. Julian, you drove my car, lived in my estate,
01:12:44spent my money buying gifts for Serena, impersonated a wealthy heir, and spread rumors that I was a
01:12:48servant's daughter. You've played Lord Julian for so long. Did you actually start believing it?
01:12:52What?! Julian's money was all from Aurora? He's not Victor Hale's chosen heir? She's lying!
01:12:57Shut up, Chloe. See Julian for what he really is. He's nothing but a coach who wormed his way into
01:13:02the Hale
01:13:02estate and stole my identity to lord it over all of you.
01:13:13Victor Hale? The war hero? Doesn't he never appear in public?
01:13:17I am disappointed. Since this school was founded, I have emphasized only one thing. Peace. Peace is not
01:13:23words. It is not applause in an auditorium while saying mutual prosperity. Peace begins with the
01:13:29most basic respect. Respect for other people. Respect for the truth. Didn't you all just spell
01:13:33it out clearly? Anyone with no morals, anyone who harms fellow students, anyone who corrupts this
01:13:40school's culture should be expelled. So let's follow your own rule. Aurora, what are you still standing
01:13:46there for? Go pack your things and get out of this school. You misunderstood.
01:13:55No way! He's... Does that me? That's right. The man you've been calling old and bold is me.
01:14:01Aurora is my one and only daughter. Aurora is actually Victor Hale's daughter?!
01:14:06Oh my god! Serena and the others are finished. Oh my god!
01:14:14Principal, it's in your hands from here.
01:14:18The school has confirmed the following. All students involved in tonight's malicious
01:14:22rumor spreading are hereby expelled. Primary instigators, Serena Vale and Chloe Mercer, effective
01:14:28immediately. I didn't mean to! No! No! This can't be happening!
01:14:37It's a shame, Julian. You're a remarkably talented young man. I had originally planned to recommend you
01:14:42to the defense ministry when you graduated. Your conduct is beneath contempt. Stay away from a
01:14:46Aurora from now on. By the way, my daughter is not involved with anyone other than her fiancé,
01:14:51Mr. Hart. I heard that the position of my daughter's most loved man, you stole that from me.
01:14:58I apologize, sir. Don't apologize! You earned it!
01:15:02Aurora, I said I had something for you after the ceremony, but I think now is the right moment.
01:15:08Once, I was a step too late. That won't happen again. Aurora Hale, will you marry me?
01:15:16Leon, in my past life, if I could do it all over again, I'd choose you. I would.
01:15:22In my past life, I didn't know who truly loved me until the moment I died. This time, I will
01:15:27not miss it.
01:15:28I do.
01:15:36Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now. Don't you dare let my daughter suffer. I promise.
01:15:41machine, she'll be taken care of.
01:15:46Music
01:15:46.
01:15:46.
