00:00:04.
00:00:04.
00:00:04.
00:00:06.
00:00:07.
00:00:08.
00:00:11.
00:00:17.
00:00:19.
00:00:27Julian! I knew you'd come!
00:00:30The humans started a war!
00:00:33My whole family is gone!
00:00:38Yeah, I know. I'm the one who started it.
00:00:41And I'm the one who had your family killed.
00:00:44You're a mutant too.
00:00:45Why would you do this to us?
00:00:48God, you're stupid.
00:00:50I'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!
00:00:57You said it meant something!
00:00:58I followed him around like a lost puppy for years.
00:01:02If you hadn't put on that ability suppressor just to impress him,
00:01:06your electric power might have actually been able to save someone.
00:01:09My ability is S-Class?
00:01:11Then this collar?
00:01:13You said the blue stone would help me control my power!
00:01:16That's not an energy stone.
00:01:19It's null stone.
00:01:20Made 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!
00:01:48S-Class doesn't matter when you're collared.
00:01:51Every time you push your power, it floods your system with noxious resonates.
00:01:55So from day one there was never any love there, was there?
00:01:58You're still on that?
00:02:00Every single day of those seven years was something I had to survive.
00:02:04If it weren't for your father's name,
00:02:08I wouldn't have given you a second look.
00:02:11No!
00:02:24You had this coming.
00:02:34Aurora!
00:02:43Leon.
00:02:46I was too late.
00:02:49I'm sorry.
00:02:51I'm so sorry.
00:02:54I'm so sorry.
00:03:04You had this coming.
00:03:27No.
00:03:29No.
00:03:31Stop.
00:03:33No.
00:03:34You're wasting your energy. There's nothing left to do.
00:03:39But if you're gone, what's any of this even for?
00:03:44Don't. You're the strongest blood ability user alive.
00:03:50You have to keep going. Our people still need you to fight.
00:03:57Aurora, 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. Quietly, awkwardly there.
00:04:22And I threw that away chasing someone who never gave a damn about me.
00:04:27I wasted everything.
00:04:30My whole life, I was so blind.
00:04:35You were right there and I couldn't see it.
00:04:38And now it's too late.
00:04:46Leon.
00:04:48Leon, 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.
00:05:06Leon.
00:05:07Leon, if I could do it all over again, I'd choose you.
00:05:14I really would.
00:05:18No!
00:05:19No!
00:05:24God, you're stupid.
00:05:25Blood's your system with noxious resonance.
00:05:27I'm the one who had your family killed.
00:05:28Aurora!
00:05:32I'm alive.
00:05:35No wounds.
00:05:37No collar.
00:05:44Which means, this is before Julian gave me the collar?
00:05:48This is seventh 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.
00:06:16Now, I'd like a student to come up and demonstrate.
00:06:22Aurora.
00:06:23You.
00:06:24You.
00:06:27Isn't she the worst student in the class?
00:06:30Great, here we go again.
00:06:37Try not to fry it the second you touch it.
00:06:39I mean, if she actually pulls it off for once, I'll clap.
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?
00:07:15Yeah, 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?
00:08:01Aurora, pull back!
00:08:04Aurora, pull back!
00:08:17Ow!
00:08:20You fucked up again!
00:08:22Look what you did!
00:08:24Zero control, huh?
00:08:26Just leaking all over the place like a busted wire!
00:08:29She shouldn't even be enrolled here.
00:08:31Half-blood trash.
00:08:34Apologize to Serena.
00:08:35Now!
00:08:40Is she trying to pick a fight?
00:08:42Julian is the strongest ability user in the whole school!
00:08:45Julian said it himself.
00:08:46Victor Hale is grooming him as successor.
00:08:48He's set to inherit the whole Hale estate.
00:08:49Aurora's just some servant's kid.
00:08:51Victor 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!
00:09:02Julian, you're so sweet.
00:09:04You heard him.
00:09:05Apologize?
00:09:06He's basically the heir to the Hale family.
00:09:09Heir to the Hale family?
00:09:11You 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 going?
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 going to 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.
00:10:20He 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.
00:10:31Aurora!
00:10:34You'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?
00:10:43Your airship?
00:10:45That's a pretty funny misunderstanding.
00:10:48Want 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.
00:10:55I 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.
00:11:14Are you kidding me right now?
00:11:15Julian, why are you still being nice to her?
00:11:21Get down.
00:11:25That's what you get.
00:11:27She 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?
00:11:45Carl.
00:11:45Do not clear them for departure.
00:11:48Miss.
00:11:49Miss, are you quite done?
00:11:54Let's not keep Julian and Miss Vale waiting.
00:11:58I'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.
00:12:08You always do.
00:12:11See that?
00:12:13That's how it's done.
00:12:15It's not even your airship.
00:12:16Stop pretending.
00:12:20Dad, there's a staff member here at the academy, Carl Cross.
00:12:23He just authorized the departure of our private airship without permission.
00:12:27I think we should let him go.
00:12:29Effective immediately.
00:12:30Oh, sure.
00:12:31Nice story.
00:12:32Who's your dad?
00:12:33The principal?
00:12:34Is she about to say she owns the school too?
00:12:37You really think one phone call fixes this?
00:12:42Just watch.
00:12:52What happened?
00:12:53You literally just left.
00:12:54The academy forced a lockdown.
00:12:57System override.
00:13:00Carl Cross.
00:13:02For unauthorized eye shopping of private property, you're terminated.
00:13:06Effective immediately.
00:13:07No, that's not.
00:13:09There 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!
00:13:15He actually got fired.
00:13:17One call and she just...
00:13:20I apologize that this happened on school grounds, Miss Hale.
00:13:24Your airship's access been fully restored.
00:13:28Aurora, you've actually pissed me off this time.
00:13:32Good.
00:13:33Get used to it.
00:13:37Good.
00:13:38Get 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.
00:14:11Dad.
00:14:29Aurora!
00:14:31Aurora!
00:14:31Aurora!
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.
00:14:54Hasn't seen her fiancé in a while and she's already tearing up. Very telling.
00:14:58Dad, stop and maybe give us a little room?
00:15:03Oh, I see how it is. How it is, I'm being dismissed.
00:15:11Leon, would you want to have dinner with me tonight? Just us?
00:15:17I...
00:15:21Yeah, absolutely. Of course.
00:15:29You look nervous.
00:15:31Sorry. I just didn't expect you to invite me like this, out of nowhere.
00:15:36Leon Hart gets nervous? You don't even blink on the battlefield.
00:15:41You're way scarier than any battlefield.
00:15:44Oh, that came out wrong.
00:15:45No, it's fair. I wasn't exactly nice to you before.
00:15:50You're probably not used to this yet, are you?
00:15:54Well, you should get used to it.
00:15:57Because I want you around more.
00:15:59A lot more.
00:16:06Starting with...
00:16:07becoming my new coach.
00:16:10Are you serious?
00:16:12I...
00:16:12Aurora, who is this?
00:16:15Why are you sitting with him?
00:16:16Oh, glad you asked.
00:16:17This is Leon Hart, my new coach.
00:16:20Strongest bloody ability user alive.
00:16:22Pretty sure you've heard of him.
00:16:23Aurora.
00:16:24New coach?
00:16:26I'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...
00:16:38Wait, what?
00:16:39I said I already have a new coach.
00:16:43I don't need you anymore.
00:16:44You can go.
00:16:46You...
00:16:47What?
00:16:48You heard me.
00:16:49Leave.
00:16:53You heard her.
00:16:54I'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.
00:17:07Sure.
00:17:11I actually came tonight to give you something.
00:17:14Open it.
00:17:21It'll help stabilize your ability long term,
00:17:23and it's...
00:17:24I don't know.
00:17:25It means something.
00:17:27To me.
00:17:31Every single day,
00:17:32it'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.
00:17:45Here.
00:17:46Let me put it on.
00:17:48Don't...
00:17:51Relax, back up.
00:17:52She's not interested.
00:18:01She's not interested.
00:18:07Aurora?
00:18:15Aurora, once that collar is on,
00:18:17you can't take it off yourself.
00:18:18That's not exactly a romantic gift.
00:18:22Leon's got a point.
00:18:23I'm not putting that on.
00:18:25Not 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.
00:18:31Kind of hard to take seriously.
00:18:35Not yet.
00:18:36Julian,
00:18:37what you owe me goes way beyond just my life.
00:18:40And I'm going to get every single piece of it back.
00:18:47You actually came back?
00:18:49A servant's daughter kicks the owner off his own airship
00:18:52and just walks in like nothing happened?
00:18:54Aurora, do you seriously think you belong here?
00:18:57She got the academy to lock down the whole parking lot yesterday.
00:19:01Over Julian's airship?
00:19:02That's actually insane.
00:19:04Hold on.
00:19:06Who did you just call a servant?
00:19:07You.
00:19:08Everyone here knows it.
00:19:10Julian is the heir Mr. Hale personally picked.
00:19:13You'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,
00:19:36who's the servant and who's the heir?
00:19:40Aurora, are we done?
00:19:42Class is starting.
00:19:43I'm not doing this right now.
00:19:44Fine.
00:19:45I'm not in a rush to blow your cover today, Julian.
00:19:48There'll be plenty of opportunities.
00:19:51I can't let people start questioning who I am.
00:19:54I need to get them back on my side.
00:19:59Actually, since everyone's here,
00:20:01I'm throwing a birthday party at the Stellar Hotel this weekend.
00:20:04You're all invited.
00:20:06The Stellar Hotel?
00:20:07That's like the most exclusive place in the whole city!
00:20:10I heard you can't even get in the door for under a few hundred thousand!
00:20:13Julian, that's insane!
00:20:14You can just casually book a place like that?
00:20:16I heard Julian actually owns the Stellar Hotel.
00:20:19Of course he does!
00:20:20That's just how he operates.
00:20:22I knew it.
00:20:24Julian only wears the latest everything.
00:20:26There's no way he's broke.
00:20:27Aurora's out here in discount clothes,
00:20:29trying to act like she runs the place.
00:20:30It's actually embarrassing.
00:20:32Julian's not usually one to make a big deal of things.
00:20:35But since we're all here,
00:20:37let's celebrate!
00:20:39Everyone's welcome.
00:20:41It's on me.
00:20:42He's covering everything?
00:20:44Seriously?
00:20:44This is why Mr. Hale picked him.
00:20:47Makes total sense.
00:20:49Last time around,
00:20:50I spent eight million on his birthday.
00:20:52Made him look incredible.
00:20:53Never got a thank you.
00:20:54Not doing that again.
00:21:01This is the place.
00:21:03I spent a fortune throwing Julian a birthday party here.
00:21:06And right when I was about to tell him how I felt,
00:21:09he kissed Serena in front of me.
00:21:11Julian,
00:21:12tonight I'm going to give you a birthday you actually won't forget.
00:21:16You seriously showed up?
00:21:17Julian hasn't looked at you in days
00:21:19and you're just crashing his birthday like it's nothing?
00:21:22It's a hotel.
00:21:23I can go wherever I want.
00:21:25Julian didn't even invite you!
00:21:27Are you Julian's dog or Serena's?
00:21:29Neither of them has said anything,
00:21:31so what are you barking for?
00:21:34I thought you said you weren't coming.
00:21:36Oh, right.
00:21:37It's your birthday.
00:21:38Honestly,
00:21:38almost forgot until I ran into you just now.
00:21:41What are you playing at?
00:21:42Is this about me not inviting you?
00:21:44Aurora,
00:21:44it's Julian's birthday.
00:21:46Don't start something.
00:21:47At the end of the day,
00:21:48you're just the daughter of his family's servant,
00:21:50so say that again.
00:21:51Who do you think you are?
00:21:53A servant's daughter putting her hands on her!
00:21:57You actually pushed me?
00:21:59I'll deal with you myself!
00:22:02Stop!
00:22:10What do you think you're doing?
00:22:14Enough!
00:22:15It's my birthday.
00:22:17Let's not make this a whole thing.
00:22:19Aurora,
00:22:20I'm not going to hold any of this against you.
00:22:23You said you'd come celebrate, right?
00:22:25Everyone's here.
00:22:26Don't make me look bad.
00:22:27So this party really matters to you.
00:22:29If I tank your whole rich kid reputation tonight,
00:22:32that hurt worse than anything else I could do,
00:22:34wouldn't it?
00:22:35All right then.
00:22:36Let's have some fun.
00:22:39Right, okay.
00:22:41It's your birthday.
00:22:42You want everyone to have a good time.
00:22:43I just remembered,
00:22:45I actually booked the best private room in the building for you.
00:22:49The Platinum Suite.
00:22:50You can go in whenever you're ready.
00:22:51You booked the Platinum Suite?
00:22:53Obviously.
00:22:54You care way too much about how things look.
00:22:56I wasn't going to let your birthday be embarrassing.
00:22:59There it is.
00:22:59Same old Aurora.
00:23:01Talks big and still ends up spending money on me.
00:23:03Some things never change.
00:23:04That's more like it.
00:23:06All right, everyone.
00:23:07Let's go.
00:23:12Okay, what are you up to?
00:23:14Think of it as my thank you for stepping in back there.
00:23:17You're about to watch something really good.
00:23:19I just need you to go along with it.
00:23:21Yeah, all right.
00:23:22I'm in.
00:23:23He's totally getting his word.
00:23:33Julian, come on.
00:23:34That bottle alone must be worth thousands.
00:23:36This room is actually unreal.
00:23:39This is what it looks like when you actually own the place.
00:23:42Order whatever you want.
00:23:44Tonight's on me.
00:23:46Julian, you're the best.
00:23:52Whatever you want, it's yours.
00:23:57Look at you, loving every second of this.
00:23:59When that bill hits the table, your face is going to be absolutely worth all of it.
00:24:02If that guy hadn't showed up out of nowhere earlier...
00:24:06Okay, but who even is he?
00:24:07He's not nobody.
00:24:08Right?
00:24:09There's something about him.
00:24:10Aurora brought some guy to make me jealous?
00:24:12Princess, please.
00:24:14I can barely look at her as it is.
00:24:16Just so you know, this one glass probably costs more than your mom makes in a year.
00:24:21Wow, that much?
00:24:22Hope whoever's paying can actually cover it.
00:24:25Oh, please.
00:24:26Julian's got the tab.
00:24:27Have whatever's left.
00:24:29Consider it a treat for the stray.
00:24:30She's not wrong.
00:24:32I ordered more than enough.
00:24:33Help yourself.
00:24:34The guy you brought, though, he's not included.
00:24:37Oh, so I'm not paying?
00:24:38That's great.
00:24:41Mr. Cross, here's tonight's bill.
00:24:43We'd like to settle it now if you don't mind.
00:24:46Hang on.
00:24:47Isn't this Julian's hotel?
00:24:49Why is the hotel charging its owner?
00:24:55Wasn't the room already taken care of?
00:24:57Owner's orders.
00:24:58Whoever buys, pays.
00:25:00Excuse me?
00:25:02This is Julian's hotel.
00:25:04You're seriously going to charge him?
00:25:06He 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?
00:25:18Aurora?
00:25:19No way!
00:25:20This hotel is Julian's family's.
00:25:21Everyone knows that!
00:25:24Funny how that works.
00:25:27You book the fanciest room in the building, let everyone eat and drink whatever they want, and somehow the bill
00:25:33ends up in front of me?
00:25:38Aurora, come on, just cover it and we move on.
00:25:41Don't do this to me right now.
00:25:46Not really my problem, is it?
00:25:48The Stellar Hotel.
00:25:49That's your family's, right?
00:25:51It is.
00:25:52Can I borrow it tonight?
00:25:53What are you planning?
00:25:55I'm going to act like I'm spending money on Julian, but I won't actually pay.
00:25:59When he's completely out of options, he'll have to come to me.
00:26:04Okay, that's actually pretty good.
00:26:07Here's an idea.
00:26:08Everyone just splits it.
00:26:10Pull it together, see what happens.
00:26:14Wait, split it ourselves?
00:26:17Didn't Julian say he was covering everything?
00:26:19Aurora, stop messing around and just pay it.
00:26:22You 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, you're not actually going to...
00:26:40Not going to do it?
00:26:43Fine.
00:26:44Leon, let's head out.
00:26:45Wait.
00:26:47Please.
00:26:56There we go.
00:26:59Manager, I've got the bill.
00:27:03Total, $8,600,000.
00:27:08Happy birthday, Julian.
00:27:10I'll cover it this time.
00:27:12But let's get one thing straight.
00:27:14I'm not here to bankloat 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!
00:27:31Aurora, nobody has ever made me feel like this.
00:27:34You're going to pay for tonight.
00:27:36Every single bit of it.
00:27:38Oh, Julian.
00:27:39We're just getting started.
00:27:42Keep the frequency steady.
00:27:44Don't force it with emotion.
00:27:45Use your focus to control it.
00:27:48Stop.
00:27:48That's not working.
00:27:49I'm giving it everything I've got.
00:27:51Your power's not the issue.
00:27:52Your control is.
00:27:53Okay.
00:27:54One more time.
00:27:56Miss 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.
00:28:07An apology, Carl?
00:28:09What 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 Hale, I made a mistake last time.
00:28:23I know that.
00:28:23But your father and I go way back.
00:28:25You can't just cut me out like this.
00:28:26Are you done?
00:28:28Then go.
00:28:30What 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?
00:28:54Because 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.
00:29:37If 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.
00:30:02Let me be straight with you, Aurora.
00:30:03It doesn't matter what you do.
00:30:04I'm never going to have feelings for you.
00:30:06You're stupid, fake, and you lie constantly.
00:30:10You're not even in the same league as Serena.
00:30:12Right?
00:30:13You showed up last night with some random guy,
00:30:15and now you want to act like you're the victim?
00:30:17Hang 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.
00:30:26I didn't even want to go.
00:30:27And then she turned around and made everyone look stupid.
00:30:30Aurora, you think money gives you the right to do whatever you want to people?
00:30:34And all that stuff about supporting me?
00:30:36That was a coaching fee you already owed!
00:30:39A coaching fee?
00:30:40Really?
00:30:42Since the day you started, all you did was spend my money
00:30:45tear 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.
00:30:56A low-grade half-blood.
00:30:58That's not my problem.
00:31:00If you're so sure I'm a bad coach, fine.
00:31:03You've got a new one.
00:31:04Let's see what he can actually do.
00:31:06What does that mean?
00:31:08Are they seriously making a bet right now?
00:31:09Stability assessment.
00:31:12Score above 800, and I'll admit it was my fault.
00:31:17That's your idea of stakes?
00:31:18Why would anyone take that bet?
00:31:20What more do you want?
00:31:21Julian'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
00:31:31around
00:31:31the school.
00:31:32What more do you want?
00:31:34Julian's literally putting himself on the line here.
00:31:36Fine.
00:31:37If I win, you put on a bra and a skirt, strap on energy restraint rings, and run 10 laps
00:31:43around
00:31:43the school.
00:31:44And 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.
00:31:57Last time around, I couldn't even do basic energy control.
00:32:00I wore Julian's collar and never made it anywhere near a battlefield.
00:32:12This time, I'm going to train until I'm strong enough to protect the people I love.
00:32:23Aurora.
00:32:26Dad, what are you doing here?
00:32:28Had some business at the school.
00:32:30Thought I'd take you home.
00:32:31Last 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.
00:32:40All right, all right.
00:32:41Someone mess with you today?
00:32:42No.
00:32:43I've just been thinking.
00:32:45I'm done being at the bottom of the class.
00:32:47I want to actually train.
00:32:48Get my ability to where it should be.
00:32:50Yeah?
00:32:51You mean that?
00:32:55That's what I'm talking about.
00:32:56That's my girl.
00:33:05Wait, who is that?
00:33:08That's just some old guy.
00:33:12Why 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.
00:33:21That 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?
00:33:40I figured you'd say 800 was way out of reach for someone like me.
00:33:43You're not what they say you are.
00:33:45Your ability's been held back.
00:33:46That's not the same thing as being weak.
00:33:48He's right.
00:33:49Last time Julian chipped away at me bit by bit until I didn't even know what I was capable of
00:33:53anymore.
00:33:55Then I'm counting on you.
00:33:58Let's get to work.
00:34:04Again.
00:34:06Again.
00:34:11Again.
00:34:17Yes.
00:34:18That's it.
00:34:19Okay.
00:34:19We're moving to the next stage.
00:34:21God.
00:34:22He's actually excited about this.
00:34:23This is literally first year stuff.
00:34:30Don't force it.
00:34:32Just guide it.
00:34:37Easy.
00:34:38Easy.
00:34:39You've got it.
00:34:44There it is.
00:34:48Take them all out.
00:34:59Okay.
00:35:01Wow.
00:35:03You did it.
00:35:05I did.
00:35:08You've got a real shot at winning that bet now.
00:35:12I couldn't have gotten here without you.
00:35:15I genuinely didn't think I could do this.
00:35:18Leon is nothing like Julia.
00:35:21He's incredible at what he does.
00:35:23And he's still this patient and kind with me.
00:35:28Julian just called me stupid and tricked me into wearing a bunch of green nullstone.
00:35:33You know, I've been thinking about it.
00:35:35You know, I've been thinking about it.
00:35:35Why was your ability stuck so low for so long?
00:35:38It really feels like something was deliberately suppressing it.
00:35:56Finally here to grab your stuff from the basement.
00:35:59Make sure you get everything.
00:36:01Feeling pretty good about this bet, huh, Aurora?
00:36:03Aurora, you really think a new training partner is going to be enough?
00:36:06You're not going to hit 800.
00:36:08You never will.
00:36:09You seem really sure about that.
00:36:11Admit it, Aurora.
00:36:12This is just another way for you to get my attention and you know it.
00:36:16Your attention.
00:36:17Right.
00:36:18Actually, that reminds me of something.
00:36:27Take all of this with you two.
00:36:29I don't want any of it.
00:36:31I told you.
00:36:32Blue sapphire pieces are for stabilizing your ability.
00:36:36Surprise.
00:36:36I ran a restoration technique on them.
00:36:38Every single one is Nudstone.
00:36:40All those times you called them stabilizers,
00:36:42you were actually using them to drain me and keep me weak.
00:36:44So I'd have no choice but to keep you around.
00:36:47Right?
00:36:47That's why her ability was stuck this whole time.
00:36:50It was you.
00:36:51Julian, that's fucked up.
00:36:55I don't know what you two are going on about.
00:36:58Take your shit and get out.
00:37:00Was that clear enough?
00:37:03Next up is the port coordination test.
00:37:06The rules are simple.
00:37:07Within the time limit,
00:37:08help the workers move your assigned containers from the ship to the target zone.
00:37:11Quantity, speed, and placement stability all count towards your score.
00:37:21Now this is a test worth showing up for.
00:37:32That's insane.
00:37:34That's Chloe for you.
00:37:55What is she doing?
00:37:57She hasn't moved a single one.
00:37:59What?
00:38:00Already lost control?
00:38:01Called it.
00:38:02She's the same as always.
00:38:04Showing up to embarrass herself in front of everyone?
00:38:07Honestly, kind of sad.
00:38:15You look completely lost.
00:38:17Let me help.
00:38:25You can't pull it.
00:38:27They're totally locked in place.
00:38:46She's moving the whole group at once?
00:38:48No.
00:38:49She's going to beat me.
00:38:52I am not losing to you!
00:38:55No!
00:38:57No!
00:38:58No!
00:38:58No!
00:39:03Chloe Maser, complete.
00:39:05See that?
00:39:06Done!
00:39:07You can stop with the theatrics!
00:39:17Who said you could touch my containers?
00:39:19Idiot.
00:39:20That container is filled with liquid stellar core fuel.
00:39:23It has to be stored upright.
00:39:24You flipped it in the rush.
00:39:2630 more seconds and the whole dock goes up.
00:39:28She's right!
00:39:28The alarm was already going off!
00:39:35No.
00:39:37That can't be right.
00:39:39Aurora hail.
00:39:40Complete.
00:39:41Zero error.
00:39:42Zero risk.
00:39:43Hyatt grade.
00:39:45So, how'd that go for everyone?
00:39:49Aurora's score for the park ordination test is...
00:39:52Perfect!
00:39:54Who's building a grid this whole time?
00:39:56She had every single target locked from the start.
00:39:58That's not possible.
00:39:59That's not possible.
00:39:59How did she just...
00:40:00Well, isn't this what you like?
00:40:02Watching me mess up?
00:40:10Settle down.
00:40:12The combined results for all ability assessments are in.
00:40:15Third place overall, Serena Vale.
00:40:18Serena only third?
00:40:19Third?
00:40:19Then who's second?
00:40:21Second place, Julian Cross.
00:40:24How?
00:40:25Julian's always first!
00:40:26I'm not finished.
00:40:29First place overall...
00:40:33Aurora hail.
00:40:35Aurora hail.
00:40:36Composite grade, A percent.
00:40:38What?
00:40:41Aurora is first?
00:40:42She actually got an A plus?
00:40:46Catch that?
00:40:48A plus.
00:40:50Top of the class.
00:40:55I won.
00:40:57Julian, a bet's a bet.
00:40:59Bra, skirt, energy restraint rings.
00:41:02Ten laps around the school.
00:41:04Aurora, don't push it!
00:41:06So you hit an A?
00:41:07Big deal!
00:41:08You just got lucky once!
00:41:09Our bet was whether I could hit an A.
00:41:11I did.
00:41:12He lost.
00:41:13He owes a penalty.
00:41:14Lord Julian, don't tell me you can't take a loss.
00:41:17Aurora, we're all classmates.
00:41:19Do you have to take it this far?
00:41:21If you feel so bad for him, feel free to take the punishment in his place.
00:41:25You...
00:41:25You know what?
00:41:26I think you cheated.
00:41:27You used to be that bad, and lately you've been cozying up to that old man.
00:41:31When did you even have time to train?
00:41:32There's no way you improved that fast!
00:41:36Teacher, Aurora's improvement is too dramatic.
00:41:39I'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.
00:41:48A dead last student like you?
00:41:50Your old schools speak for themselves!
00:41:52You are getting examined today!
00:41:54Right!
00:41:55She must have a cheat device on her!
00:41:58Search her!
00:41:59If she didn't cheat, what's she afraid of?
00:42:01Fine.
00:42:02You want to check me?
00:42:03Go ahead.
00:42:04But then everyone who tested in the same session gets checked too.
00:42:07Especially you, Chloe.
00:42:09Why should I be checked?
00:42:10You're the one being reported!
00:42:12Burden of proof falls on the accuser.
00:42:14You're claiming I cheated?
00:42:16Fine.
00:42:16I agree to a search.
00:42:18But if there's a search, everyone who tested in the same session gets checked.
00:42:22Otherwise, how do we know who really tampered with things?
00:42:24How is she this sharp all of a sudden?
00:42:26It's like she's a completely different person.
00:42:28She has a point.
00:42:30In 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.
00:42:41Aurora, Chloe, step up one at a time.
00:42:47Aurora, clean.
00:42:51Chloe, you seem nervous.
00:42:59An energy transfer device.
00:43:01That's not mine!
00:43:03I don't know how it got there!
00:43:05Oh, really?
00:43:05It grew legs and crawled there on its own?
00:43:07During the test, someone used this to temporarily transfer energy to you, helping you complete the assessment.
00:43:14Isn't that right, Chloe?
00:43:15Looks like the real cheater isn't who everyone thought.
00:43:21That's an energy transfer device!
00:43:23So Aurora really did cheat!
00:43:25She'll do anything to win that bet!
00:43:28Quiet!
00:43:29Here's my ruling.
00:43:31The student who cheated was Chloe.
00:43:35What?
00:43:35It was Chloe?
00:43:36Nullified?
00:43:37Can she even graduate?
00:43:38A 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?
00:43:49Given that a cheat device was involved during the test, in the interest of fully settling this dispute,
00:43:54Aurora, are you willing to retest?
00:43:56Absolutely.
00:43:57And let a certain someone lose without any excuses.
00:44:01The retest will be defensive stabilization.
00:44:04Each tester protects their own core sphere.
00:44:06Fewer hits on the core within the time limit means a higher score.
00:44:10Aurora, Serena, begin.
00:44:17That's Serena for you!
00:44:19So 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.
00:45:23Serena, point deducted.
00:45:25Serena, point deducted.
00:45:27How is this possible?
00:45:31The result of this test?
00:45:33Aurora wins.
00:45:34Her performance speaks for itself.
00:45:36No cheating involved.
00:45:41Now, should we talk about our bet?
00:45:48Retest is done.
00:45:49I didn't cheat.
00:45:50Time to settle the bet.
00:45:51It's just one test.
00:45:53Do you have to be this relentless about it?
00:45:55Relentless?
00:45:56You're the ones who accused me of cheating and then got caught cheating yourselves.
00:45:59And now you won't pay up?
00:46:01Julian, bra and skirt, energy restraint rings, 15 burpees in front of the whole school,
00:46:07then 10 laps around the track.
00:46:08You apologize the entire time you run.
00:46:11In your dreams!
00:46:13Aurora, enough.
00:46:14Julian is still-
00:46:15Oh, right.
00:46:16You too.
00:46:17The teacher gave you a chance to make things right, but left your punishment up to me.
00:46:21You're joining Julian.
00:46:23No.
00:46:26Oh, Chloe.
00:46:28Since your loyalty to Julian is so deep, I'll allow it.
00:46:32You can run his 10 laps for him.
00:46:3410 laps?
00:46:36I'll die!
00:46:36Chloe, you're the one who started all of this.
00:46:38Julian got dragged into it trying to protect everyone.
00:46:41You want to make it easier on him, don't you?
00:46:43I-I-I go.
00:46:45Or I won't hesitate to expose every time I helped you cheat over the past few years.
00:46:52Don't try to use your ability.
00:46:54It'll only make it worse.
00:46:59She passed out!
00:47:00Get her to the nurse's office!
00:47:12Happy now?
00:47:14That look suits you, actually.
00:47:22Feeling any better?
00:47:24Aurora, we can't let her get away with this.
00:47:28She's always running around with that older man from outside school, right?
00:47:31A young girl suddenly hang around some older guy, suddenly flush with money.
00:47:37We all know what that means.
00:47:39You mean?
00:47:41All we need to do is find the right public moment to put it out there.
00:47:44It'll be quite the show.
00:47:55Aurora?
00:48:17Why aren't you in the training room?
00:48:19Training's on hold tonight.
00:48:21On hold?
00:48:22Because tonight, I'm celebrating your birthday.
00:48:25How did you know?
00:48:36That's...
00:48:41Leo, isn't it?
00:48:43Beautiful and perfect control.
00:48:48You can actually do this now.
00:48:52Congratulations.
00:48:52I mean it.
00:48:53Congratulations.
00:48:54This is...
00:48:56the best gift I've ever received.
00:49:00Then I need you to promise me something.
00:49:02Anything!
00:49:03Tomorrow, all our classmates are going to the beach.
00:49:07Will you come?
00:49:24Got another one!
00:49:27Aurora?
00:49:28Why is it always her?
00:49:30Don't lose your nerve.
00:49:31Win it back.
00:49:38Her ability is so unfair!
00:49:40Just a harmless little current.
00:49:42It won't hurt you.
00:49:43Feel free to use your light whip if you want.
00:49:46Again!
00:49:50Put away that useless whip!
00:49:52You can't manage your ability and play at the same time.
00:49:54You're just getting in the way.
00:49:55But Aurora can do it.
00:49:56When did she get this good?
00:49:58Ah!
00:50:09That's fast!
00:50:22You okay?
00:50:28Who is he?
00:50:30He's gorgeous!
00:50:32This scene!
00:50:33I can barely breathe!
00:50:37I'm fine.
00:50:40Let me handle him.
00:50:48He's unreal.
00:50:50How does Aurora know someone like him?
00:50:53No!
00:50:54No!
00:51:03How is anyone supposed to return that?
00:51:14That...
00:51:15easy?
00:51:25He...
00:51:26returned all of them?
00:51:27How is that possible?
00:51:30Julian's speed
00:51:31looks like child's play
00:51:33next to him.
00:51:43His rhythm is breaking down.
00:51:45Opening
00:51:46on the left.
00:51:55Aurora?
00:52:09They won?
00:52:10That was brutal.
00:52:12You were incredible.
00:52:14Your reaction was fast enough too.
00:52:16Really?
00:52:21They are so in sync!
00:52:23That last mook!
00:52:26That last mook!
00:52:26Aurora, drop the act.
00:52:29Everything you have,
00:52:30you won it because of a man,
00:52:31didn't you?
00:52:34Who was that old man
00:52:36who picked you up at school every day?
00:52:37Did you think no one noticed?
00:52:40Shut up.
00:52:40Sir, I'm saying this for your own good.
00:52:42Don't be fooled by her.
00:52:43She's not as innocent as she looks.
00:52:45She's just a servant's daughter
00:52:46who's happy to let some old guy
00:52:47pay her way...
00:52:50You actually hit me?
00:52:52Say it again.
00:52:53Go ahead.
00:52:55You actually hit me?
00:52:57That was the light version.
00:52:58Say one more thing against Aurora
00:53:00and you won't be walking home today.
00:53:03That was too far.
00:53:05We're just worried about Aurora
00:53:07being taken advantage of.
00:53:08We were just reminding her
00:53:09as friends.
00:53:11Your idea of reminding her
00:53:12is spreading filthy lies about her?
00:53:15But isn't she the one chasing you?
00:53:17The more you know about her situation,
00:53:19the better.
00:53:21Let me clarify.
00:53:22Aurora is not chasing me.
00:53:24I'm the one pursuing her.
00:53:26Impossible!
00:53:27Why would you want her?
00:53:29She's already been with an old...
00:53:33I mean it.
00:53:36Yes.
00:53:37You can pursue me.
00:53:39Aurora!
00:53:39Done performing?
00:53:40You were nothing but a simp.
00:53:42The whole school saw how you chased me.
00:53:43Now you lash into someone new
00:53:45and pretend you're above it all?
00:53:47You think I can't see through this?
00:53:48You just want to make me jealous.
00:53:50Fine.
00:53:51I'll give you a chance.
00:53:53Come back now
00:53:53and I'll consider making you my girlfriend.
00:53:56Julian,
00:53:56you are a joke.
00:53:58I was the one who was blind.
00:53:59I took you way too seriously now.
00:54:01You're not even worth the dog shit on the ground.
00:54:03Aurora!
00:54:04Who exactly do you think you are?
00:54:05That the world revolves around you?
00:54:07You're with Serena?
00:54:09And you're standing right next to her saying this.
00:54:11You don't even find that embarrassing?
00:54:12I feel bad for her.
00:54:15Is your forgiveness supposed to be worth something?
00:54:17Keep it for yourself.
00:54:19Fine.
00:54:19Very fine.
00:54:21Aurora,
00:54:21you'll regret this.
00:54:24Julian made a complete fool of himself today.
00:54:27Why does this moron get to be pursued by someone like Leon
00:54:29while I'm stuck with a broke loser like Julian?
00:54:33Don't be upset.
00:54:34Everything I said back there,
00:54:36I was just annoyed at Aurora for being so full of herself.
00:54:38I said it to get a reaction.
00:54:40You're the one I want to be with.
00:54:41I'm not giving her any opening.
00:54:43I know.
00:54:44I just feel a little beaten down.
00:54:46She has that older man protecting her.
00:54:48And now she has someone like Leon at her side.
00:54:51No matter what I do,
00:54:52I just can't measure up to her.
00:54:54Oh, stop.
00:54:55Someone like Aurora doesn't compare to you.
00:54:58Come on.
00:54:59We've been playing for hours.
00:55:00You must be hungry.
00:55:01Tonight, whatever you want.
00:55:02My treat.
00:55:03Really?
00:55:04Of course.
00:55:05Go ahead.
00:55:08I'll have the lobster pasta,
00:55:10the charcoal grilled wagyu,
00:55:11a dozen oysters,
00:55:13truffle fries,
00:55:14and a sea salt caramel souffle.
00:55:15Best champagne you have.
00:55:19Somebody's ordering big.
00:55:20Which rich kid is this?
00:55:32Check, please.
00:55:39Payment decline insufficient funds.
00:55:43Try again.
00:55:43Payment decline insufficient funds.
00:55:46You can't pay and you ordered all that?
00:55:47From the way he was acting,
00:55:48I actually thought he was somebody.
00:55:50Sir, would you like to try
00:55:51a different payment method?
00:55:54Dad, what happened to the money in my account?
00:55:56I needed it.
00:55:57So I moved it.
00:55:58Did you gamble it away again?
00:56:00Shut your mouth.
00:56:01You don't get to lecture me.
00:56:02By the way,
00:56:03you're on your own for next year's tuition.
00:56:05So he's broke.
00:56:06Showing off like that
00:56:08and now no one's here to bail him out.
00:56:09I see now.
00:56:10You're not a rich heir at all.
00:56:12The one with real money is Aurora.
00:56:13You're just a broke loser she's been supporting.
00:56:15Julian,
00:56:17I'm suddenly not hungry anymore.
00:56:19You finish up.
00:56:21Serena,
00:56:22let me explain.
00:56:23The money was just temporarily moved by my dad.
00:56:26I'll figure out a way to earn it back.
00:56:28I swear I won't let you down.
00:56:31Julian,
00:56:32a whole month of part-time work,
00:56:33probably pays less than one day
00:56:35as Aurora's private ability coach.
00:56:37Am I wrong?
00:56:38What are you saying?
00:56:39It's very simple.
00:56:40What you need to do right now is
00:56:42go to Aurora
00:56:43and ask her to hire you back as her coach.
00:56:46I finally got free of that woman.
00:56:48Just want to be with you now
00:56:49and you're telling me to go back and work for her?
00:56:51I'm thinking about you.
00:56:53What you need most right now is money.
00:56:55Coaching her
00:56:56pays more than any odd job you could pick up outside.
00:56:58And your dad's debt,
00:56:59that has to be handled first, doesn't it?
00:57:02I don't want to do this.
00:57:03What's the big deal?
00:57:04I'm just asking you to go earn money from her,
00:57:06not to get back together we're with her.
00:57:09You're broke.
00:57:11If you don't earn something,
00:57:13what exactly do I have to spend?
00:57:15All right.
00:57:16I'm just looking out for you.
00:57:18If you're too embarrassed to ask her yourself,
00:57:20I'll go say it for you.
00:57:22Would she even take me back at this point?
00:57:25Did you mean what you said earlier?
00:57:29Which part?
00:57:31That you're the one pursuing me?
00:57:35Yes.
00:57:36It's always been true.
00:57:40Aurora,
00:57:40I need to ask you something.
00:57:43What is it?
00:57:44Could you
00:57:45let Julian continue as your ability coach?
00:57:48Seriously?
00:57:50You interrupted my evening for
00:57:52this?
00:57:53Julian is really struggling right now.
00:57:55You've probably heard about his father.
00:57:57Your family has plenty of money
00:57:58and Julian's ability is strong.
00:58:00If you agree,
00:58:00I promise he'll take the coaching seriously this time.
00:58:03Do 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
00:58:07and effectively support both of you?
00:58:09Aurora,
00:58:11I'm willing to forgive everything you've done.
00:58:13From now on,
00:58:13we keep it strictly professional.
00:58:16Coach and student, that's all.
00:58:18I remember someone just said he'd never forgive me.
00:58:24Aurora,
00:58:25if the only reason you're shutting Julian out
00:58:27is because of me and him,
00:58:29I can break up with him.
00:58:31Please don't.
00:58:32Then he'll turn around
00:58:33and say I forced you to leave him.
00:58:36I get it, Aurora.
00:58:37You're just still holding a grudge, aren't you?
00:58:39Stop pretending to know me.
00:58:41Let's talk about you, Serena.
00:58:43You liked Julian because he was the top student.
00:58:46The school's heartthrob.
00:58:47Everyone's chosen heir.
00:58:49Now 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.
00:58:55You 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.
00:59:03Right?
00:59:03Who gave you the right to say that?
00:59:05I just think Julian deserves a better future.
00:59:07Right.
00:59:08And without a better future,
00:59:10how could he keep spending money on you?
00:59:12Aurora,
00:59:13enough.
00:59:13I've always believed women should support each other,
00:59:15but you've been reading the worst possible intentions
00:59:17into everything I do.
00:59:19Hearing that from you is quite something.
00:59:22Isn't giving you a chance to get close to Julia
00:59:24a good thing?
00:59:25You love him.
00:59:26After all,
00:59:28keep your charity.
00:59:30I don't collect garbage.
00:59:33Aurora,
00:59:34enough!
00:59:35Stop going after Serena.
00:59:39You got sold out
00:59:40and you're still counting the money for them.
00:59:42What did you say?
00:59:42Serena thinks you're broke,
00:59:43thinks you're a burden,
00:59:44thinks your dad is an embarrassment,
00:59:46and she's putting on this whole act of self-sacrifice
00:59:48while pushing you back at me.
00:59:50And you're still defending her?
00:59:52Julian,
00:59:52you're a complete idiot.
00:59:54Julian, don't!
00:59:56Aurora and I just have a misunderstanding.
00:59:58Julian,
00:59:59I have a better coach now
01:00:00and a better boyfriend.
01:00:02Someone like you,
01:00:03not a consideration.
01:00:05Aurora,
01:00:06don't think bringing some random guy
01:00:07to make me jealous is going to change anything.
01:00:09Aurora,
01:00:10ignore him.
01:00:11Let's go.
01:00:15Julian doesn't have much use left,
01:00:17but Leon,
01:00:18I need to find a way
01:00:19to push Aurora and Julian back together.
01:00:21That would give me a way
01:00:21to get close to Leon.
01:00:24Better coach.
01:00:26Better boyfriend.
01:00:28Hmm?
01:00:29What?
01:00:29Any objections?
01:00:31I think I need to earn those words.
01:00:36From here on,
01:00:37I'm training you to be number one in the year.
01:00:39I want you to surpass Julia and Serena
01:00:41in all four areas.
01:00:43Combine combat,
01:00:44precision control,
01:00:45sustained output,
01:00:46and environmental takeover.
01:00:47At this year's graduation ceremony,
01:00:49you'll stand on that stage
01:00:50as the student representative.
01:00:51Everyone who ever called you a failure
01:00:53will have to look up at you.
01:00:54In my past life,
01:00:55I was useless in the war.
01:00:57I died with the name of a failure
01:00:59while Julian and Serena
01:01:00walked over my father's body.
01:01:02This time,
01:01:03I will make myself strong enough.
01:01:06Strong enough to defeat them both.
01:01:08Yes.
01:01:09I'm going to be number one.
01:01:11I'm going to surpass Julian and Serena.
01:01:13You will.
01:01:14One more thing.
01:01:16Stay away from Julian.
01:01:17I looked into his family background.
01:01:19His father was a former gang member.
01:01:20Alcoholic,
01:01:21compulsive gambler.
01:01:22I know.
01:01:23I already know all of it.
01:01:24Julian.
01:01:25Carl,
01:01:26you won't get a dime
01:01:28out of me this time.
01:01:33You actually came back?
01:01:34You stole from me again.
01:01:37Stole?
01:01:38You're going to hold
01:01:38a little money
01:01:39against your own father?
01:01:40That was my tuition
01:01:41for Nexi, my sister.
01:01:42Tuition?
01:01:43When you were living
01:01:44at the Hale Estate,
01:01:45you never once asked me
01:01:46for tuition money.
01:01:47When you were with Aurora,
01:01:49you were bringing home cash,
01:01:50hand over win.
01:01:51You remember how we lived?
01:01:52And now,
01:01:53you screwed it all up.
01:01:56Shut up.
01:01:57You shut up!
01:01:58A brainless heiress like Aurora,
01:02:00you should have had her
01:02:00completely wrapped around
01:02:01your finger,
01:02:02and you couldn't even
01:02:03keep up the act.
01:02:04Look what you've done to me!
01:02:05Tomorrow,
01:02:06you go to Aurora
01:02:07and apologize.
01:02:08Get her to hire you
01:02:09back as her coach.
01:02:10No.
01:02:12You're going
01:02:12whether you want to or not.
01:02:14Otherwise,
01:02:15I'd beat you every day
01:02:16until you do.
01:02:17Carl!
01:02:17Get out here!
01:02:21Three months, Carl.
01:02:23When are you planning
01:02:24to pay me back?
01:02:25Zane,
01:02:25just give me two more days.
01:02:26I'll figure something out.
01:02:28Figure what out?
01:02:30Give him the money!
01:02:35I don't have a cent!
01:02:37No money?
01:02:38Then why did you
01:02:39even come back?
01:02:42Drop the act, Carl.
01:02:44Boys,
01:02:45beat them both.
01:02:51Stop!
01:02:52Stop!
01:02:53Stop hitting!
01:02:54You're going to kill us!
01:02:57Can't pay your debts?
01:02:58This is what you deserve.
01:02:59I have a plan.
01:03:00There's a rich iress
01:03:01who's crazy about my son.
01:03:02Her father is Victor Hall.
01:03:03Three million, five million,
01:03:04it's nothing to her.
01:03:05Is that right?
01:03:05If my son is in trouble,
01:03:06she'll pay.
01:03:07She always does.
01:03:08Fine.
01:03:08Tomorrow at noon,
01:03:09if I don't see three million,
01:03:10I kill your son.
01:03:12Miss Hale!
01:03:13Save Julian!
01:03:14He's been taken!
01:03:15The kidnappers want three million!
01:03:17Kidnappers?
01:03:17Then call the police.
01:03:18What are you coming to me for?
01:03:19We can't call the police!
01:03:20They'll kill him!
01:03:21Miss Hale,
01:03:22I'm begging you,
01:03:22please save him!
01:03:24Whether he lives or dies,
01:03:25what does that have to do with me?
01:03:27Miss Hale,
01:03:27you're just angry at him.
01:03:29When he comes back,
01:03:29I'll have him on his knees
01:03:30begging to make things right with you.
01:03:31How about that?
01:03:32No need.
01:03:33I'd be thrilled
01:03:33if he never came back.
01:03:35Though if he dragged himself back
01:03:36missing an arm or a leg,
01:03:37that might actually be fun.
01:03:39He's your son,
01:03:40not mine.
01:03:41The Hale family
01:03:42bullies their employees.
01:03:44You leave people to die!
01:03:46My son and I
01:03:47gave years of our lives
01:03:48to this family,
01:03:49and this is how you treat them?
01:03:52If you don't agree today,
01:03:54I'm staying here
01:03:55until I die!
01:03:57Fine.
01:03:58I'm not sticking around for this.
01:03:59Miss Hale,
01:04:00you can't be this cruel!
01:04:01Carl,
01:04:02what's going on?
01:04:03Mr. Hale,
01:04:03please!
01:04:04Julian's been taken!
01:04:05They want three million
01:04:06and the young miss won't help him!
01:04:08Three million.
01:04:08Give it to him
01:04:09and send him away.
01:04:10Thank you,
01:04:11Mr. Hale!
01:04:12Thank you!
01:04:13I know Julian is no good.
01:04:15Take the ransom money
01:04:16to them yourself.
01:04:17His life is in your hands now.
01:04:19How you let off steam
01:04:20is entirely up to you.
01:04:21Understood,
01:04:22Dad.
01:04:26Miss,
01:04:26here he is.
01:04:27Oh,
01:04:27you knocked him out?
01:04:28Oh,
01:04:28we had no way of knowing
01:04:29he was a friend of yours.
01:04:30No,
01:04:31I meant
01:04:32you could have been
01:04:33a bit rougher
01:04:34to wake him up.
01:04:34I understand,
01:04:35miss.
01:04:35Keep going!
01:04:37Stop!
01:04:39Stop it!
01:04:41Keep going!
01:04:43Stop!
01:04:44Please don't!
01:04:45Please don't!
01:04:46Don't crack a little girl like me!
01:04:48How could I possibly
01:04:49stop any of you?
01:04:50Don't stop!
01:04:51Keep going!
01:04:52Stop!
01:04:53Please don't hit him anymore!
01:04:55He's an honor student
01:04:57and the heir to the HAL estate!
01:04:59Aurora,
01:05:01help me.
01:05:02What if you cripple him?
01:05:03What if you ruin his face?
01:05:04You're so cruel,
01:05:06really,
01:05:06stop!
01:05:08How do I know
01:05:09you're actually trying to save him
01:05:10and not just stall him?
01:05:12Boys,
01:05:12wait for the money
01:05:13and keep hitting.
01:05:14Let's see which comes first,
01:05:16the cash or the funeral.
01:05:18Does it hurt?
01:05:19This doesn't even come close
01:05:21to one ten-thousandth
01:05:22of what I suffered
01:05:23in my past life.
01:05:28Aurora,
01:05:29you came for me?
01:05:31Of course.
01:05:32Your father came to our home
01:05:33begging in tears
01:05:34for three million.
01:05:35My father didn't want to,
01:05:37luckily I spoke up for you.
01:05:38Julian,
01:05:39now you know
01:05:40who actually cares about you,
01:05:41don't you?
01:05:42Everything before,
01:05:43that was all my fault.
01:05:44I swear,
01:05:45from now on,
01:05:46I'll treat you right.
01:05:47Good.
01:05:48Let me get someone
01:05:48to take you
01:05:49to the hospital first.
01:05:52Aurora,
01:05:53for you,
01:05:54your favorite,
01:05:55hazelnut latte.
01:05:56I went out of my way
01:05:57to get it.
01:05:58Your memory's
01:05:59as bad as ever.
01:06:00I stopped drinking
01:06:01that a long time ago.
01:06:02That's fine.
01:06:03I also got an ice americano
01:06:04with a double shot.
01:06:05Weren't you into
01:06:06strong coffee lately?
01:06:08Aurora,
01:06:09I made this
01:06:10for you myself.
01:06:14Wow,
01:06:15that's a full spread.
01:06:17That's incredible.
01:06:19Now this is something,
01:06:20Leon.
01:06:22Aurora,
01:06:23are you messing with me?
01:06:28You do realize
01:06:29drinking coffee
01:06:30on an empty stomach
01:06:31is hard on Aurora's stomach,
01:06:33right?
01:06:36Aurora!
01:06:38What exactly is going on
01:06:40between you and Leon?
01:06:41Are you already together?
01:06:43Let go,
01:06:43you're hurting me.
01:06:44Stop acting.
01:06:45I can see it.
01:06:46Every time you look at him,
01:06:47your eyes are different.
01:06:49You never looked at me
01:06:49that way.
01:06:51Does that hurt?
01:06:52I've been there
01:06:53a thousand times worse.
01:06:55I gave you everything
01:06:56and you stepped on me
01:06:57and played me
01:06:58for a fool.
01:07:00Aurora,
01:07:01what's gotten into you?
01:07:02When did I ever
01:07:03deceive you?
01:07:04Stop performing.
01:07:06Okay,
01:07:07I admit there was something
01:07:08between Serena
01:07:09and me before,
01:07:09but since I cleared
01:07:10the air with you,
01:07:11I've been serious.
01:07:13Why can't you just-
01:07:14Get off me!
01:07:17You still care about me.
01:07:19I know you do.
01:07:23Didn't you hear her say,
01:07:24get off?
01:07:24What does this have to do
01:07:25with you?
01:07:26Do you have any idea
01:07:26how much Aurora was
01:07:27in love with me?
01:07:28She's with you now
01:07:29just to boost her scores
01:07:29and make me notice her.
01:07:30You really think you have
01:07:31any right to play hero for her?
01:07:33I was actually gonna
01:07:34string you along a bit longer,
01:07:35let you find out
01:07:36what it's like to pour
01:07:37your heart out to someone
01:07:37who treats it like garbage.
01:07:39But who the hell
01:07:40do you think you are
01:07:40speaking to Leon like that?
01:07:42Stay away from me
01:07:43from now on.
01:07:44Come near me one more time
01:07:45and I'll make you
01:07:46look a lot worse than today.
01:07:51Sorry,
01:07:52I almost failed
01:07:52to protect you.
01:07:54It wasn't your fault.
01:07:56I was the one
01:07:57who was too naive before.
01:07:58At least this time,
01:07:59I didn't let him
01:08:00get what he wanted.
01:08:02Aurora,
01:08:03did he hurt you
01:08:04like this before?
01:08:05In the past?
01:08:07I once had a dream.
01:08:09In the dream,
01:08:10I couldn't see
01:08:10someone's true face
01:08:11no matter how hard I tried.
01:08:12I gave him everything I had
01:08:14and in the end,
01:08:15he got me killed.
01:08:16That person was Julian?
01:08:17I regretted it.
01:08:18I couldn't accept it,
01:08:19but the dream ended.
01:08:20I woke up.
01:08:25Was I in your dream?
01:08:30Yes!
01:08:31At the very end
01:08:32of the dream,
01:08:32you appeared.
01:08:33And after that,
01:08:34everything was better.
01:08:36Once the graduation ceremony
01:08:37is over,
01:08:38I'll tell you
01:08:39the rest of the story.
01:08:40Good.
01:08:41I'll wait.
01:08:42Oh,
01:08:43you've been confirmed
01:08:44as this year's
01:08:45student representative
01:08:46for the graduation ceremony.
01:08:48After the ceremony,
01:08:49I have something for you.
01:08:51Thank you in advance.
01:08:52Everything I've achieved,
01:08:54that's all down to my coach.
01:08:55Hmm.
01:09:06My darling girl,
01:09:07don't be nervous tonight.
01:09:09Dad can't wait
01:09:10to hear your speech.
01:09:12Don't worry.
01:09:13I won't disappoint you.
01:09:15Go on in.
01:09:17You took my spot
01:09:18as student representative,
01:09:19and now you think
01:09:20you're going to stand
01:09:21on that stage
01:09:21and shine?
01:09:23Aurora,
01:09:23I will ruin you
01:09:24in front of the entire school.
01:09:30Tonight is our graduation ceremony
01:09:32and our night of honors.
01:09:34This school was established
01:09:35through the efforts
01:09:35of our mutant war hero,
01:09:36Victor Holt.
01:09:38Our school motto
01:09:38has always been one line
01:09:40to let mutants and humans
01:09:41grow together
01:09:42under the same sky
01:09:43and flourish as one.
01:09:44Each of you seated here tonight
01:09:45has passed seven years
01:09:46of this school's trial.
01:09:48Now,
01:09:48please welcome
01:09:49this year's student representative
01:09:51to the stage
01:09:51for the commencement address.
01:09:54Good evening, everyone.
01:09:56I'm your student representative
01:09:57for tonight,
01:09:58and I'm proud
01:09:58to be standing here.
01:10:00For a long time,
01:10:01I was not someone
01:10:02others considered
01:10:02worthy of this school,
01:10:03but today,
01:10:04I want to start
01:10:05by saying thank you
01:10:05to...
01:10:06I have an accusation!
01:10:14Oh, my God.
01:10:14Aurora has no right
01:10:16to stand here.
01:10:18She has no morals.
01:10:20She's some old man's
01:10:21kept woman
01:10:22spending his money
01:10:22bullying her classmates,
01:10:24and now she gets
01:10:24to stand on this stage
01:10:25as student representative?
01:10:27I'm making this accusation
01:10:28under my own name.
01:10:35Everyone,
01:10:36look at the evidence.
01:10:38Aurora and this older man,
01:10:39look how close they are.
01:10:40She used this
01:10:41disgusting relationship
01:10:42to get money
01:10:43and status she never earned.
01:10:45A disgrace like her,
01:10:46what right does she have
01:10:48to represent us?
01:10:50So it's actually true.
01:10:51she really is being
01:10:52kept by some old man.
01:10:53Aurora,
01:10:54your taste
01:10:55is something else.
01:10:57Old and bald
01:10:58and you still went for it?
01:10:59Old and bald.
01:11:03Sir,
01:11:03these students
01:11:04are out of line.
01:11:05I'll handle it immediately.
01:11:06No need.
01:11:08I'd like to see
01:11:09how this plays out.
01:11:13This is the man
01:11:15you're calling
01:11:15my keeper?
01:11:17The evidence
01:11:17is right there.
01:11:18Are you going to deny it?
01:11:20You're not wrong.
01:11:21He is someone I love.
01:11:27Though at the moment
01:11:28he can only rank second
01:11:29among the men I love.
01:11:32You're actually
01:11:33admitting it?
01:11:34Aurora,
01:11:35you've got absolutely
01:11:36no shame
01:11:37when it comes to money.
01:11:37You actually like
01:11:38some old bald man?
01:11:40I said I love him.
01:11:41Is there a problem
01:11:42with that?
01:11:43Are we not allowed
01:11:44to tell the truth now?
01:11:47Aurora,
01:11:47you have absolutely
01:11:49no shame.
01:11:50Every school board member
01:11:51is here tonight.
01:11:52You're saying this
01:11:52in front of the entire school.
01:11:53Do you feel
01:11:54no embarrassment
01:11:55whatsoever?
01:11:56Someone like her
01:11:56should be expelled!
01:11:57Exactly,
01:11:58expeller!
01:11:58Student representative her?
01:11:59Julian,
01:12:00you know her
01:12:00better than anyone.
01:12:01Tell us,
01:12:01is she being kept or not?
01:12:02Right,
01:12:03you were her coach.
01:12:03You must know.
01:12:04Julian,
01:12:05I'm giving you
01:12:06one last chance.
01:12:08You tell everyone
01:12:09what is the relationship
01:12:11between me
01:12:12and the man
01:12:12in that photo.
01:12:17The person
01:12:17in the photo is...
01:12:18No.
01:12:19If I say it,
01:12:20what happens to Serena?
01:12:22This photo
01:12:23is beyond appropriate.
01:12:25Aurora,
01:12:25if you apologize
01:12:26right now,
01:12:27you can still walk away
01:12:28with some dignity.
01:12:30Julian,
01:12:31you really haven't
01:12:31changed at all.
01:12:32Still love turning
01:12:33everything on its head.
01:12:35Aurora,
01:12:36don't change the subject.
01:12:37You're the one
01:12:37changing the subject,
01:12:38fine.
01:12:39Since you want to
01:12:39burn it all down
01:12:40in front of the whole school,
01:12:41I'll lay everything out.
01:12:42Julian,
01:12:42you drove my car,
01:12:43lived in my estate,
01:12:44spent my money
01:12:45buying gifts for Serena,
01:12:46impersonated a wealthy heir,
01:12:47and spread rumors
01:12:47that I was a servant's daughter.
01:12:49You've played Lord Julian
01:12:49for so long.
01:12:50Did you actually
01:12:51start believing it?
01:12:52What?
01:12:53Julian's money
01:12:53was all from Aurora?
01:12:54He's not Victor Hale's
01:12:55chosen heir?
01:12:56She's lying!
01:12:57Shut up,
01:12:58Chloe.
01:12:58See Julian
01:12:59for what he really is.
01:13:00He's nothing but a coach
01:13:01who wormed his way
01:13:02into the Hale estate
01:13:03and stole my identity
01:13:04to lord it over all of you.
01:13:08Quiet!
01:13:09Everyone quiet!
01:13:10Enough.
01:13:13Victor Hale?
01:13:14The war hero?
01:13:16Doesn't he never appear
01:13:17in public?
01:13:17I am disappointed.
01:13:19Since this school was founded,
01:13:20I have emphasized
01:13:21only one thing.
01:13:22Peace.
01:13:23Peace is not words.
01:13:24It is not applause
01:13:25in an auditorium
01:13:26while saying
01:13:27mutual prosperity.
01:13:28Peace begins
01:13:29with the most basic respect.
01:13:30Respect for other people.
01:13:31Respect for the truth.
01:13:33Didn't you all
01:13:33just spell it out clearly?
01:13:35Anyone with no morals?
01:13:37Anyone who harms
01:13:38fellow students?
01:13:39Anyone who corrupts
01:13:40this school's culture
01:13:41should be expelled.
01:13:43So let's follow
01:13:44your own rule.
01:13:45Aurora,
01:13:45what are you still
01:13:46standing there for?
01:13:47Go pack your things
01:13:48and get out of this school.
01:13:50You misunderstood.
01:13:55No way!
01:13:56He's...
01:13:56Does that mean?
01:13:58That's right.
01:13:58The man you've been calling
01:14:00old and bold
01:14:01is me.
01:14:02Aurora is my one
01:14:03and only daughter.
01:14:03Aurora is actually
01:14:05Victor Hale's daughter?
01:14:06Oh my God!
01:14:07Serena and the others
01:14:08are finished.
01:14:09Oh my God!
01:14:15Principal,
01:14:16it's in your hands
01:14:16from here.
01:14:18The school has confirmed
01:14:19the following.
01:14:20All students involved
01:14:21in tonight's malicious
01:14:22rumor spreading
01:14:23are hereby expelled.
01:14:24Primary instigators
01:14:25Serena Vail
01:14:26and Chloe Mercer
01:14:27effective immediately.
01:14:30I didn't mean to!
01:14:32No!
01:14:33No!
01:14:34This can't be happening.
01:14:38It's a shame, Julian.
01:14:39You're a remarkably
01:14:39talented young man.
01:14:40I had originally planned
01:14:42to recommend you
01:14:42to the defense ministry
01:14:43when you graduated.
01:14:44Your conduct
01:14:45is beneath contempt.
01:14:46Stay away from Aurora
01:14:47from now on.
01:14:48By the way,
01:14:49my daughter is not involved
01:14:50with anyone other
01:14:50than her fiancé,
01:14:51Mr. Hart.
01:14:53I heard that
01:14:53the position of my daughter's
01:14:55most loved man.
01:14:56You stole that from me.
01:14:58I apologize, sir.
01:15:00Don't apologize!
01:15:01You earned it!
01:15:03Aurora,
01:15:03I said I had something
01:15:04for you after the ceremony,
01:15:05but I think now
01:15:06is the right moment.
01:15:08Once,
01:15:09I was a step too late.
01:15:11That won't happen again.
01:15:12Aurora Hale,
01:15:13will you marry me?
01:15:17Leon,
01:15:17in my past life,
01:15:18if I could do it
01:15:19all over again,
01:15:20I'd choose you.
01:15:21I would.
01:15:22In my past life,
01:15:23I didn't know
01:15:24who truly loved me
01:15:25until the moment I died.
01:15:26This time,
01:15:27I will not miss it.
01:15:29I do.
01:15:41I do.
01:15:42I do.
01:15:43I do.
01:15:56I do.
01:15:58You
