[DUBBED] The Hidden Tyrant-2 - Short Drama Full HD 720p #ANS
Transcript
00:03What? You said how many people came to this? All in our gathering?
00:09For our rough estimate, over a thousand talents have entered Midland in the last two days.
00:15Among them, renowned heroes number over 80.
00:22Two days? Just two days? And it rallied over a thousand talents?
00:27And Haiti? Heroes that even our North Viet court couldn't win over?
00:33Isn't this, obviously, a slap in my noble face?
00:42It looks like I, the king, should just step down and hand everything to the All-Knower!
00:48Your Majesty, please calm down.
00:51Calm down? It's been ten years.
00:54I've ordered you to catch the All-Knower for ten years!
00:58But you haven't even gotten...
01:01You just watched the All-Knower's power grow by the day and shake the North Viet court!
01:09You fools! You hideous morons!
01:13Father, calm down. Your health comes first.
01:17Our plan is airtight this time.
01:19I will make sure he can't get away.
01:24Well then, since the straightforward way won't work, then we play by his rules.
01:33Erika, you excel in both mind and combat.
01:36Enter Deer Academy first and secure a spot to join this year's gathering.
01:39Then make sure you take the gathering champion to draw him out!
01:43The moment he appears, is when the All-Knower will be finished!
01:49My father, you're brilliant!
01:55Mr. Carter, tell me, is this North Viet All-Knower really that amazing?
02:00Huh? He knows everything under the sun?
02:04Sir, you may not know, All-Knower's power is far beyond that.
02:10Otherwise, why would His Majesty send someone like you to travel so far from Oran across the border to North
02:16Viet to get him?
02:17With anyone else, they probably wouldn't even get near him.
02:21That impressive?
02:27I wonder if he can solve my problem.
02:32Well, I'm afraid your problem is near impossible for us.
02:37But for the All-Knower, it's a simple one-sentence fix.
02:42Hmm.
02:43Then I really should meet him.
02:47So you're saying, as long as I take the top spot in the gathering, hosted by All-Knower,
02:52I can ask him face-to-face to answer one question, and he'll definitely solve it, right?
02:57Yes.
02:58Yes, that's correct, sir.
03:01However, if you miss this one time, it's another five years.
03:05So, Mr. Shaw, you make sure that you win this gathering.
03:19That's North Viet Scholar's paradise.
03:21This entrance ceremony is so lively.
03:24Hey, why are there five empty chairs?
03:28Hey, you must be from out of town.
03:30Those aren't just ordinary chairs.
03:33Therefore, this year's Deer Five.
03:36The Deer Five?
03:38Hmm?
03:40I thought you knew.
03:42Every year, Deer Academy picks the top five from the new students as a Deer Five,
03:47according to scholarship, martial skill, family, power, and wealth.
03:51Each class's Deer Five are taught by Weisty and Larson personally,
03:54and they also get the best resources and become the model for everyone.
03:58Hey, that's not all.
04:00I heard this year's All-Knower gathering invited the Five directly.
04:04As long as you make the Five, you skip the prelips and go straight to the gathering to meet the
04:09All-Knower.
04:11Holy crap!
04:12No wonder there are so many students this year.
04:14I wonder which five the Academy will pick as the new Deer Five.
04:18Move!
04:18Make way!
04:19Move!
04:27You're the sole heir of the powerful Wesleys.
04:31A top progeny ranked 28th on the Scholars list and 16th on the Marshall list.
04:36This year's top spot among the Five is basically yours.
04:40Oh, man!
04:42It's actually him!
04:43The Wesley's eldest son!
04:45Yeah!
04:46I didn't expect he would even come!
04:48If not to get a gathering slot,
04:51this little Deer Academy wouldn't even be worth my time.
04:57Your Highness, everything a Deer Academy has said.
05:00If you become one of the Five, you can meet the All-Knower directly?
05:05Hopefully, that's much easier.
05:07It looks like I'm going to take one of those seats today.
05:14You?
05:15You better stop daydreaming.
05:18Every year's Five are absolute monsters.
05:20There are countless students this year.
05:23Picking five out of so many,
05:25they won't choose a nobody like you.
05:28Only the clueless are fearless.
05:30Can you believe this, Kame?
05:32That's so crazy!
05:34Silence!
05:35Silence!
05:37The entrance ceremony is about to begin.
05:39Students, please, follow the instructions
05:42and line up in order.
05:43Hey!
05:44What is going on?
05:45What's going on?
05:46What are they doing?
05:48I'm so crazy.
05:49What is this?
05:52Hey!
05:53Over there!
05:55Juan!
05:56Those with a thousand acres at home,
05:58step forward!
06:00Come on!
06:02Come on!
06:03Come on!
06:03Come on!
06:04Come on!
06:11To those who came by carriage,
06:14step forward again!
06:21What does this mean?
06:23It's an unwritten rule across all North Viet academies.
06:26Sorting students into tiers by power, money, name, and status.
06:30Even in the same academy,
06:31students in different tiers get very different resources.
06:35I used to think Deer Academy could break the mold.
06:38Turns out...
06:43So snobbish.
06:45Those with four-wheeled two-horse carriages,
06:47those with fifth rank,
06:49step forward again!
06:50Official at home or above,
06:51those with Duke Merritt,
06:52step forward again!
06:53Step forward!
06:57Hey!
06:58Hey!
06:58Hey!
06:58Hey!
06:59Get back!
06:59Get back!
07:01Hey!
07:01Hey!
07:01Hey!
07:02Where are you trying to stand?
07:03I...
07:04Uh...
07:06Um...
07:06I don't know.
07:07How did you get here?
07:08How many attendants did you bring?
07:12I walked here.
07:14Attendants?
07:16None.
07:17This is my buddy.
07:19Move aside!
07:20Not even one attendant!
07:21Get to the very back!
07:22Get lost!
07:23Hey!
07:24Come on!
07:25Go!
07:25Get out of here!
07:26Get old!
07:26Get out of there!
07:27Come on!
07:28You...
07:29You...
07:30Well, well!
07:31I gotta take one of the seats!
07:33How'd you end up in the back?
07:35You loser!
07:36Still want a Deer 5 seat?
07:39Keep dreaming!
07:40Ha ha ha ha!
07:41Okay!
07:42Yeah, that was good.
07:44Isn't that the guy who bid against you for the Black Thorn painting?
07:48I thought he had some backing.
07:49Why is he all the way in the back?
07:51Ignore him.
07:51We have bigger things.
07:58Miss, North Viet's court is more wary of us than ever.
08:01Why be so high profile and invite this year's Deer 5 so openly?
08:08I just feel we'll waste those five slots.
08:11Look, this cohort is just so-so.
08:13That frontrunner Tim Wesley does have some skills, but hardly worth your attention.
08:17The others look even more average.
08:20Hey!
08:20Ha ha ha!
08:21Seems just about anyone gets to eye our gathering slots.
08:34But they might not all be average.
08:36Keep watching.
08:40What is that?
08:42What was that?
08:43I don't know who that is.
08:44What is this?
08:45It's so crazy.
08:46He's the legend of Deer Academy.
08:48I didn't expect he'd pick the five himself today.
08:51The All-Knower gathering really has clout.
08:55Everyone, silence.
08:58After our 5-teens thorough review of all new students, the list of this year's Deer 5 have
09:05been confirmed.
09:09Number 5.
09:17Number 5.
09:19Jeremy Todd.
09:20Who?
09:21What is this company?
09:22I don't know who this is.
09:23Jeremy Todd.
09:24Do you know?
09:24He's the only son of the North Viet's richest.
09:27Even he showed up.
09:28Maybe.
09:29He came from the All-Knower too.
09:31Yeah.
09:31He's only fifth.
09:32We're screwed for sure.
09:34Ha ha.
09:34Yeah.
09:35Just got a pile of cash, huh?
09:37And that gets him fifth?
09:38Huh?
09:39Huh.
09:39Whoa.
09:40Compared to you, he's no match, of course.
09:42Number 4.
09:44Sam Anderson.
09:45It's actually him, Sam Anderson, the sole heir of Mr. Anderson's North Viet's literary
09:50titan.
09:51Oh my god.
09:53I thought he'd be second.
09:54Didn't expect he'd only be fourth.
09:56What kind of madhouse is it this year?
09:58Number 3.
09:59Eric Reid.
10:02It's him?
10:03It's him?
10:04Tch.
10:07Oh, Reid?
10:08In the top three?
10:10Is he an heir to Duke Reid?
10:14Even if he's with Duke Reid, their power only reaches the Northwest, compared to Wee Wesley's
10:20ruling North Viet.
10:21Ha ha ha ha.
10:23He's nothing.
10:24Huh?
10:25That's true.
10:25He's not your match, Mr. Wesley.
10:28Hey.
10:28So we gotta congratulate Mr. Wesley in advance on taking the top spot of this year's Dear
10:33Five.
10:34Number 2.
10:36Kim Wesley.
10:38What?
10:39No way.
10:40He's second?
10:41Number 2?
10:42He's second?
10:42No way.
10:43How did he get second?
10:44That's a lousy.
10:45Oh my god.
10:46No way.
10:47Tim only got the second?
10:49Dean Larson.
10:51Are you sure this is right?
10:52Any problem?
10:53I'm the only son of the Wesleys in the capital.
10:56Ranking 28th on the Scholars list, 16th on the Marshall list.
10:59I should be top of this year's Dear Five.
11:02But Tim is second.
11:03Then who could be the first?
11:04Who else could it be?
11:05Every year's top either runs the whole court, or is rich as a nation, or is insanely talented.
11:11If it's not Tim, who could it be?
11:13This year's top of the Dear Five is...
11:20Liam Shaw.
11:22Liam?
11:23Liam?
11:24Who's that?
11:25Liam?
11:25Who's that?
11:25Who's Liam?
11:26Who's Liam?
11:27Who's Liam?
11:27Who's Liam?
11:28Who's Liam?
11:28Who's Liam?
11:29Who's Liam?
11:29That's the first time I've heard this name.
11:31Who could...
11:32Who's this Liam?
11:33I don't know.
11:34Liam?
11:36Sir!
11:38Sir!
11:39Sir!
11:39They're calling you.
11:40Huh?
11:42Me?
11:43Liam is the name His Majesty gave you as a cover for this mission.
11:48Yeah, it's me.
11:50Mr. Carter, this is your idea of keeping a low profile?
11:53Who knew His Majesty would make such a big deal?
11:59Move.
12:00Move, move.
12:00Move, move.
12:02Move, move.
12:16And the name, Nancy-
12:18Roll thends soon from the screen.
12:21It's actually him...
12:25Dean Larson...
12:26Are you out of your damn mind?
12:27Don't you know who I am?
12:29I'm the future head and heir of the Westleys that rule New York Viet!
12:33You! Let some freaking nobody like him lord it over me!
12:37Who the heck is he?
12:38Are you blind? He's in the last row!
12:44Even if your father came, he wouldn't dare be this rude to me!
12:54Huh!
13:00This year's All-Knower Gathering will be joined by you, the Dear Five!
13:05I hope at least one of you gets a good ranking at the Gathering!
13:14You little punk!
13:16Don't think cozying up to Dean Larson lets you climb over me!
13:20At the Gathering in three days? I'll show you!
13:25You...
13:31We meet again!
13:32Mr. Shaw, looks can really be deceiving.
13:38Never thought the top would be the guy who fought you over that painting.
13:42But he couldn't even afford a fragment of Master Shaw's painting!
13:44This person is somebody.
13:48I thought the top of the five would be someone earth-shattering.
13:51Turns out, it's just this no-name nobody.
13:56Interesting.
13:57He's not simple.
13:58Huh?
13:59How is he not simple?
14:00What's special about him?
14:01He's so ordinary, with no family, background or status, even stuck in the last row!
14:06Hey, miss!
14:10How's it going, Erika?
14:13Is there anyone standing in your way at this Gathering?
14:19There is one.
14:20I can't...
14:22Quite read him.
14:23Huh?
14:25Even you can't figure him out.
14:27Then should I...
14:29Send someone in to...
14:31No need bother.
14:33No need to tip him off.
14:35Within North Viet, when it comes to strategy, no one can beat me.
14:48Unless...
14:49Black 4 and Adrien shows up.
14:55Miss, why aren't you resting yet?
15:02The Gathering is coming up.
15:04The North Viet court has been eyeing on us now.
15:07We can't afford any slip ups.
15:09This Liam is way too odd.
15:11He could be our biggest wild card.
15:13Miss, you're being way too cautious.
15:16I really feel he's just a normal guy.
15:18Maybe he's related to that Vice Dean, so he got a spot among the Dear Five.
15:23His background can't be that simple.
15:25Do you remember...
15:26The servant by his side?
15:28Mm-hmm.
15:29That's a eunuch.
15:30A eunuch?
15:31You mean...
15:33I have to figure out who he really is.
15:35Go look into it yourself.
15:37If anything seems off, take him down.
15:40Yes.
15:41But remember, don't kill the innocent.
15:43Okay.
15:58Hmm, he looks totally average to me.
16:01Miss must be overthinking.
16:03Forget it.
16:04Gotta check him out first.
16:05It won't take much ever anyway.
16:16Whoa.
16:17He even dodged that?
16:18Lucky him.
16:23Ah.
16:32Hmph.
16:34Fragrance we can even louder.
16:50Figures.
16:52He's a total wimp.
16:58That's it?
17:06Some no-name clan on the frontier.
17:09Figures he's a loser.
17:13You even dare to bother my lady?
17:15This alone...
17:17Is a capital offense.
17:20Ah.
17:22Even dodged that?
17:23That loser really got lucky.
17:26No way.
17:27You'll keep getting this lucky.
17:30Don't run off.
17:34Sir?
17:38Are you asleep?
17:42I'm coming in, sir.
17:45Consider yourself lucky.
17:50Miss.
17:51How did it go?
17:52I told you he's a loser.
17:54Don't worry about it.
17:55Here.
17:56This is all his info.
17:59That loser sure got lucky.
18:01That loser sure got lucky.
18:01Earlier today, he became top of the dear five.
18:03Even dodged two of my strikes in a row.
18:05If no one had showed up, I'd have finished him.
18:07What did you say?
18:09Huh?
18:10I said that creep got lucky.
18:12Messing around with some woman in his sleep.
18:14And managed to dodge two of my strikes.
18:16Alright.
18:17Get some rest.
18:18I'm heading out.
18:21Wait!
18:23What is it?
18:24Why that look?
18:27You're back.
18:33Don't.
18:34Come.
18:35At.
18:36Me.
18:44He left that?
18:46I knew he wasn't ordinary.
18:48Didn't you say, he dodged your silver needles first, then two of your strikes even asleep?
18:55Think about it.
18:57In North Fiat, you're at least top free.
18:59How many people can dodge two of your strikes?
19:02No more than three.
19:03Let alone while asleep.
19:13He wrote on your back, without you even noticing.
19:16That means he's far stronger than you.
19:19We must never provoke him again.
19:21No one in North Fiat could do that.
19:23He's not from North Fiat.
19:26Who...
19:26Is he really?
19:30It's no wonder Adrian's admired by all North Fiat prodigies.
19:36This landscape scroll may be incomplete, but the brushwork is lively with deep spirit.
19:43Every ink stroke carries true mastery.
19:46It's basically priceless.
19:49Your highness, someone just snuck into Liam's room and built him.
19:54Oh?
19:56Looks like it's not just me whose eye is on him.
20:00Should I go and test him?
20:01No need.
20:03Whoever he is, he can't stop me from taking first at this year's gathering and bringing the all-knower into
20:11face justice.
20:12Even if Adrian, who can paint such a jaw-dropping piece, shows up himself.
20:18I believe I can still put up a fight.
20:26Here!
20:28Hey, you!
20:30Loser.
20:31Now it's time to show real skill.
20:34Ready to make a fool of yourself?
20:35The gathering is the biggest event around.
20:38You can't pull strings here.
20:41Soon.
20:42You'll be so dead.
20:43Ha ha.
20:44Yeah.
20:45I don't know who's gonna be embarrassed later, but someone lost face at the ceremony.
20:52Right?
20:54What?
20:55You!
21:00Arrogant!
21:01Do you want to make a bet?
21:03Let's bet on today's gathering rankings.
21:05Whoever comes last crawls between the other's legs and then admits that I'm the head of the five in front
21:09of the whole academy.
21:10Crawling under legs is boring.
21:12Let's raise the stakes.
21:13The loser strips and runs three laps around Deer Academy, shouting while running,
21:18Liam is my grandpa!
21:24Fine.
21:26Deal.
21:27Get ready to call me grandpa.
21:29Ha ha.
21:30Ha ha.
21:31Ha ha.
21:36Ha ha.
21:53That was the all-knower.
21:54The all-knower?
21:56Is it actually a woman?
21:59The figure.
22:02Adrian, come here.
22:03Mom!
22:05Why does that figure feel so familiar?
22:09Welcome, everyone, to this year's gathering.
22:12This year's contest has three rounds.
22:15The all-knower will grant the champion one request for free.
22:19Also, those who make the top ten will become honored guests of the all-knower for the next five years.
22:24And any intel they seek is half-price.
22:27What? Half-price?
22:29That's the all-knower's intel.
22:31If we can make it to the top ten, this trip will be worth it.
22:34She's the all-knower, right?
22:35Your Highness, should we...
22:37Don't rush.
22:39This is the all-knower's turf.
22:41If we act rashly, we might tip them off.
22:44This is... our only chance.
22:51He's here.
22:52Looks like this year's gathering is gonna be interesting.
22:57The gathering starts now!
23:03Round one! Items contest!
23:05Items?
23:06What kind of contest is this?
23:11Liam, you might not know.
23:14Huh?
23:14There are countless treasures in the world.
23:16But what can catch the all-knower's eye are few and far between.
23:21So this round is about whose gifts the all-knower will accept.
23:25As long as your gift is taken by the all-knower, you pass.
23:30Huh?
23:31Damn.
23:32So you mean, I have to beg her to take my gift?
23:36Hey, watch your mouth!
23:38Tons of people out there are dying to give the all-knower gifts.
23:42But can't get a foot in the door.
23:43After all, getting the all-knower to unconditionally help with one thing is the truly priceless thing in this world.
23:51She can really do anything.
23:53Since the all-knower appeared, every request she agreed to has never once failed.
23:59I'm screwed.
24:01I didn't prepare anything.
24:05This night's pearl of mine is worth a fortune.
24:11This is the top western jade from the western regions. Worth a lot.
24:19This is the vault key of my golden house.
24:23A symbol of everything golden house owns.
24:26In terms of value, no one can beat this, right?
24:30The entire golden house?
24:32How much is that worth?
24:33A hundred thousand gold? A million?
24:36Can you broaden your horizons?
24:37That's the vault of Norfian's richest man, valued north of ten million gold!
24:46What?! She still won't go for that?!
24:48This is the richest golden house vault!
24:52Narrow-minded fools.
24:54Everyone!
25:01Let me show you what real treasure looks like.
25:05This is the Lord's jade pendant bestowed by the North Viet royal house.
25:09It symbolizes supreme honor and wealth.
25:11Wear this, and there's nowhere in North Viet that you can't go.
25:17That's good!
25:19Accepted!
25:21The wealth that the noble status brings can't be counted!
25:26Mr. Wesley, impressive!
25:29Congrats to Mr. Wesley for advancing!
25:36Hehehehe!
25:42Royal status is noble, sure.
25:44But what I have here should be the only one in all of...
25:49North Viet.
25:51Oh?
25:52The original by Master Shaw.
25:55I picked up by chance in the market.
26:00What?
26:01What?
26:02What?
26:02What?
26:03Huh?
26:04Heh.
26:07Woah, it's beautiful!
26:09Woah!
26:09It's so cool!
26:10It's only a fragment, but you couldn't buy it for any price.
26:14All-knower, please, accept it.
26:19Hurry! Make way! Let me see!
26:26I've studied Master Shaw's paintings for years!
26:29This half-scroll is indeed his true hand!
26:33Woah!
26:34That's awesome!
26:36My god!
26:37It's actually Master Shaw's original!
26:40Never thought I'd still be alive to see it!
26:42Genuine piece here in North Viet!
26:44Everyone knows Master Shaw's originals are extremely rare!
26:47There's only two or three left in the world!
26:50This...
26:51This is truly priceless!
26:53Looks like...
26:54This round is a done deal!
26:57Even if it's Master Shaw's original!
26:59It's only half a scroll!
27:02Ugh!
27:02You don't know shit!
27:04Don't insult Master Shaw!
27:05Even a half!
27:06It's still in his own hand!
27:08Master Shaw's work is the lifelong pursuit of us scholars!
27:11Even a single character from him is priceless!
27:14Never thought he actually got an original of Master Shaw!
27:20Accepted!
27:21An original by Master Shaw is nearly impossible to find, Mr. Reed!
27:25Everyone!
27:26Thank you!
27:28Damn!
27:29That counts!
27:30You could've said so!
27:33I'll announce!
27:34The list of who advances to the next round!
27:37Hold on!
27:40Isn't it just a...
27:46Master Shaw's painting?
27:47I have one too!
27:49And!
27:50It's not a fragment!
27:51It's a full scroll!
27:54Full scroll?
27:56Liam!
27:56Do you even know what you're talking about?
27:58This idiot probably doesn't even know who Master Shaw is!
28:02Liam!
28:03What do you mean?
28:04Could it be...
28:05You really have Master Shaw's complete scroll?
28:08Huh?
28:09I do!
28:13Where did this punk come from?
28:14He really is shooting off the mouth!
28:16Exactly!
28:17Even Master Shaw's partial scrolls are extremely rare!
28:20How could some random guy just whip out a complete scroll?
28:24Sir!
28:25If you shoot your mouth off at the gathering, you'll be permanently banned by the all-knower!
28:30Relax!
28:31If I say I have it, that means I do!
28:34Fine!
28:35Then please bring it out!
28:37So we can all appreciate it!
28:40No problem!
28:41Give me half an hour!
28:43I'll go fetch it now!
28:44You...
28:45Liam!
28:46The gathering won't tolerate you pulling any tricks!
28:49We'll give you half an hour!
28:51If you can't show it!
28:53If you can't show it!
28:54The all-knower definitely won't let it slide!
28:57Relax!
28:58He cannot pull any tricks!
29:00I've studied Master Shaw's paintings a lot!
29:03If he brings out a fake, I can spot it at a glance!
29:07Huh...
29:07Hmm?
29:10Sir!
29:11Even though you're Adrian himself, we didn't really bring any originals!
29:15You don't have that many paintings to begin with!
29:18There are only two complete scrolls!
29:20The one is in His Majesty's study, and the other was given to Miss Ruby!
29:26Haha!
29:26It'll be here soon!
29:29Uh...
29:31Sir?
29:32Are you planning to...
29:39What do you think?
29:41I can't read him!
29:42He seems to be joking around!
29:45But...
29:46He could wipe the floor off me!
29:48Still...
29:49There are only two full scrolls by Master Shaw!
29:51He can't possibly bring one out!
30:03Half an hour is almost up!
30:06Liam!
30:08Ready to crawl under my legs?
30:11Hahaha!
30:16Now, time's up!
30:18I declare!
30:22Wait!
30:47Liam, you don't seriously think that grabbing some random painting
30:52could pass as Mr. Shaw's original, do you?
30:54Not a single fake can slip past my sharp eyes.
30:58Liam, think this through.
30:59If you fake it at the gathering, you'll be permanently barred by the all-knower.
31:04What's real can't be fake.
31:06And what's fake can't be real.
31:10Huh?
31:24Test it any way you want.
31:27Then let me check whether this thing is real or not.
31:35Could he actually have Master Shaw's full scroll?
31:38No way.
31:39He definitely dug up some fake to grandstand here.
31:42That guy.
31:43How could a total idiot who pulled strings to get into Deer Academy possibly have Master Shaw's original?
31:49Right?
31:51If he can produce it, I'll eat crap upside down.
31:55A few days ago, he was still fighting you for a broken scroll.
31:59How could he show up with a full scroll today?
32:01He's just a clown.
32:02No.
32:03Wait.
32:09How is this possible?
32:13This...
32:14This is...
32:16This is the original...
32:17This really is Master Shaw's original.
32:20And it's the full scroll that's never been seen before.
32:27Oh, really?
32:29This is amazing.
32:30Oh.
32:33How is that even possible?
32:35How could he have...
32:40The ink is still wet?
32:43Only two full scrolls of Adrien exist in the world.
32:46I know where both are.
32:47This peak silhouette scroll is indeed Master Shaw's original.
32:50Yet I've never seen it.
32:52Could it be...
32:53Several spots of ink are still wet.
32:55This piece was clearly finished recently.
32:59Could he be?
33:05Miss, what's wrong?
33:09I must be overthinking.
33:11How could Adrien possibly be here?
33:13But this painting...
33:16No way.
33:21Liam, may I ask?
33:23Where did you get this original by Master Shaw?
33:31Earlier, I met a girl at a brothel.
33:33She said she's Master Shaw's old mistress, so I paid for it.
33:36I heard Master Shaw often visited brothels and was close with a girl named Ruby.
33:41Maybe the kid really hit the jackpot.
33:46Then explain why there are several ink spots not even dry.
33:58Ah.
34:01Well, it's been the rainy season lately.
34:03It's been damp.
34:05At the bottom of the chest.
34:06So the ink bled.
34:08I almost gave it away.
34:11This is Master Shaw's original.
34:13And you let it get damp?
34:15Do you even know how to store it?
34:17Do you know what to cherish?
34:18Hey, I...
34:22Master Shaw's full scroll original has resurfaced.
34:25This is the first time I've seen one.
34:26It's a peerless treasure.
34:27Of immeasurable value.
34:29Accepted.
34:30Accepted.
34:34What kind of dumb luck is that?
34:36How did he get Master Shaw's original?
34:38Sir, just now I was way out of line.
34:41Please forgive me.
34:42It's fine.
34:45I didn't expect you could actually bring out Master Shaw's full scroll.
34:50So I assume you came prepared.
34:52I just don't know why you paid such a price to meet the all-knower.
35:02I want to find someone.
35:08Adrian.
35:10You have a sister who's lost out there.
35:12I have searched for her for over 20 years with no trace at all.
35:16I have been keeping it from you.
35:19I have been keeping it from you.
35:19Now that you are capable, if you can find her, it would bring comfort to your mother.
35:24In heaven.
35:27In heaven.
35:28Round 2.
35:28Copying contest.
35:30Today, since Master Shaw's original has resurfaced, we'll give you a chance to copy it.
35:36Next, you have 6 hours to copy this treasure.
35:40Whoever gets closest to the original will take this round.
35:43Copying Master Shaw's painting? Are you confident?
35:47I had only studied Adrian's half scroll before.
35:50I thought I could actually contend with him.
35:53But when I saw this full scroll, I realized how small I am.
35:57Luckily, this round is about copying.
36:00I've studied that half scroll for a long time.
36:02I know Adrian's technique inside and out.
36:05This round, no one can match me.
36:12Mr. Carter, did I hear that right?
36:14What's round two testing?
36:17Sir, you didn't mishear.
36:19They're testing copying Master Shaw's work.
36:25What?
36:27Scared.
36:28You did get his original piece last round.
36:31But this round is all copying.
36:33First, your eye.
36:34Second, your brushwork.
36:35But most importantly, you have to internalize it.
36:38The Master's paintings carry a lofty aesthetic effortless charm.
36:41And most people can't imitate it at all.
36:43If you're afraid of looking bad, it's not too late.
36:46Leave now.
36:47Our Mr. Wesleys, a talent ranked 28th on the Scholar's List.
36:51His brushwork is top tier.
36:53You guys are definitely losing today.
36:56Everyone, you can step up to take a close look at Master Shaw's original.
37:05I'm going to take a nap.
37:06Okay.
37:19This fool only got through on luck last round.
37:22See?
37:22He's throwing in the towel before it starts, huh?
37:29Did I really misjudge him?
37:32No.
37:45Mr. Wesleys really is a prodigy.
37:48His strokes are inspired.
37:50His strokes actually carry a hint of Master Shaw's spirit.
37:57Still, Master Shaw's original.
37:59It's indeed hard to copy, especially the coloring.
38:02Even a single slip and the color harmony is gone.
38:10Guys, look.
38:11Mr. Reed is painting with E.
38:13He hasn't even glanced at the original.
38:15He might be a notch ahead.
38:19Sir, this Eric has actually managed to mimic a bit of your essence.
38:30One hour left!
38:40Only one hour left.
38:42You still won't start.
38:46One hour?
38:48Wake me up in half an hour.
38:51Got it, sir.
38:56Everyone, since you're done, let's start the judging.
39:01Mr. Wesley's painting is super lifelike.
39:05On par with a master painter.
39:07The first place locked in.
39:10My master's painting is so true to life.
39:12It's freaking masterful.
39:14He's the real number one.
39:19Mr. Wesley's painting is truly exquisite.
39:23With a touch of Master Shaw's style.
39:26But Mr. Reed's painting is even more detailed.
39:30And captures the spirit even better.
39:32Clearly first place.
39:33This.
39:36I don't know if you're going to do that.
39:39You again?
39:41Last round you had the dumb luck to find half of the original.
39:44This round?
39:45He still won up to me?
39:47Why?
39:48Mr. Wesley, calm down.
39:49There aren't many all-around talents like you.
39:52He's definitely no match for you in round three's fight.
39:55That's true.
39:57Don't get cocky.
39:59Next round you better not run into me.
40:00Or I'll have you on your knees begging.
40:03Eric Reed, Tim Wesley, and Jade Scholar have passed round two.
40:09Then, what about him?
40:15Figures he's a total idiot.
40:17The contest is almost over and he's still fast as-
