00:00:18Dad...
00:00:19...
00:00:19...
00:00:20...
00:00:22...
00:00:24...
00:00:27Julian! I knew you'd come. The humans started a war. My whole family is gone.
00:00:39Yeah, I know. I'm the one who started it, and I'm the one who had your family killed.
00:00:44You're a mutant, too. Why would you do this to us?
00:00:48God, you're stupid. I'm standing on the winning side. It's not that complicated.
00:00:52Wow. You said you'd marry me. You gave me this. You 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, your electric power might have actually been able
00:01:08to save someone.
00:01:09My ability is S-Class. Then this collar.
00:01:13You said the blue stone would help me control my power.
00:01:17That's not an energy stone. It's null stone, made specifically to shut abilities down.
00:01:22Every single day, it's been draining you, destroying 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.
00:02:10You had this coming.
00:02:35Aurora!
00:02:36Aurora!
00:02:43Leon!
00:02:47I was too late.
00:02:49I'm sorry.
00:02:51I'm so sorry.
00:03:03I'm so sorry.
00:03:05I was too late.
00:03:27No!
00:03:31Stop.
00:03:34You're wasting your energy.
00:03:36There's nothing left to do.
00:03:39But if you're gone,
00:03:42what's any of this even for?
00:03:44Don't.
00:03:46You're the strongest blood ability user alive.
00:03:50You have to keep going.
00:03:52Our people still need you to fight.
00:03:55Aurora.
00:03:57I don't know how to make you get it.
00:04:00None of it means anything without you. It never did.
00:04:06You just never saw that.
00:04:10All those years, Dad kept bringing up Leon.
00:04:14Kept mentioning the engagement.
00:04:16Leon was always just there.
00:04:19Quietly, awkwardly there.
00:04:22And I threw that away chasing someone who never gave a damn about me.
00:04:27I wasted everything.
00:04:29I wasted everything.
00:04:30My whole life.
00:04:32I was so blind.
00:04:35You were right there and I couldn't see it.
00:04:38And now it's too late.
00:04:40And now it's too late.
00:04:46Leon.
00:04:48Before I go,
00:04:50do one last thing for me.
00:04:53Take off this collar.
00:04:54I don't want to die wearing it.
00:04:57I don't want to die wearing it.
00:05:06Leon.
00:05:08If I could do it all over again,
00:05:10I'd choose you.
00:05:14I really would.
00:05:18No!
00:05:19No!
00:05:24God, you're stupid.
00:05:25Blood's your system with noxious resonance.
00:05:27You're the one who had your family for.
00:05:28Aurora!
00:05:32I'm...
00:05:33I'm alive?
00:05:35No wounds.
00:05:37No collar.
00:05:38No collar.
00:05:44Which means...
00:05:45This is before Julian gave me the collar?
00:05:48This is...
00:05:497th year practical ops class?
00:05:52I can still fix this.
00:05:54I can change everything.
00:06:02The blue stone gives basic suppression of the host's energy.
00:06:05The green stone is different.
00:06:07It 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.
00:06:27Isn't she the worst student in the class?
00:06:31Great, 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.
00:07:15No surprise there.
00:07:18Don't stop.
00:07:20Try again.
00:07:28What?
00:07:29Waiting for me to come fix it for you?
00:07:36You're still on that?
00:07:37Every single day of those seven years was something I had to survive.
00:07:42If it weren't for your father's name,
00:07:45I wouldn't have given you a second look.
00:07:54What?
00:08:02Aurora! Pull back!
00:08:18Ow!
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.
00:08:50Aurora'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.
00:09:06Apologize?
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 coming?
00:09:32No.
00:09:33No way.
00:09:36Is she serious right now?
00:09:38That's the Hale family airship!
00:09:40She just got on?
00:09:42By herself?
00:09:43Before everyone else?
00:09:44She's not even gonna wait for Julian?
00:09:46A servant's daughter just taking the wheel like she owns it?
00:09:49She should be expelled for this.
00:09:58Aurora, how come you're not waiting for Julian today?
00:10:03Julian who?
00:10:04His last name is Cross, not Hale.
00:10:06He's your son, Carl.
00:10:08Don't tell me you forgot that.
00:10:09My son is your private coach.
00:10:11The Hale family's always been generous.
00:10:13Surely you wouldn't make your coach walk all the way home?
00:10:18Everyone 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?
00:10:53I 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?
00:11:16Julian, 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 gonna win that?
00:11:34Come on, she'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.
00:11:46Do not clear them for departure.
00:11:48Miss.
00:11:49Miss, are you quite done?
00:11:50Don't.
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 gonna like what happens next.
00:12:02You 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.
00:12:11You see 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!
00:12:55The 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.
00:13:29You'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!
00:14:33Without you, none of it means anything to me.
00:14:40Dad.
00:14:41Leon.
00:14:45Look at that.
00:14:47You actually used his name.
00:14:48Know that guy today?
00:14:50Aurora, you okay?
00:14:52I'm fine.
00:14:54Hasn't seen her fiancé in a while and she's already tearing up.
00:14:57Very telling.
00:14:58Dad.
00:14:59Dad.
00:14:59Stop.
00:14:59And maybe...
00:15:00Give us a little room?
00:15:03Oh, I see how it is.
00:15:05How it is.
00:15:06I'm being dismissed.
00:15:10Leon.
00:15:12Would you want to have dinner with me tonight?
00:15:14Just us?
00:15:17I...
00:15:20Yeah.
00:15:21Absolutely.
00:15:23Of course.
00:15:29You look nervous.
00:15:31Sorry.
00:15:32I just didn't expect you to invite me like this out of nowhere.
00:15:36Leon Hart gets nervous?
00:15:38You don't even blink on the battlefield.
00:15:41You're way scarier than any battlefield.
00:15:44Oh, that came out wrong.
00:15:46No, it's fair.
00:15:47I wasn't exactly nice to you before.
00:15:50You're probably not used to this yet, are you?
00:15:54Well, you should get used to it.
00:15:57Because I want you around more.
00:15:59A lot more.
00:16:05Starting with...
00:16:07Becoming 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.
00:16:18This is Leon Hart.
00:16:19My 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...
00:16:39Wait, what?
00:16:40I said I already have a new coach.
00:16:43I don't need you anymore.
00:16:44You can go.
00:16:46You... what?
00:16:48You 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 will help stabilize your ability long term.
00:17:23It will 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 it's been draining you.
00:17:34Destroying you from the inside.
00:17:41Nobody else is going to deal with your ability the way I do.
00:17:45Here.
00:17:46Let me put it on.
00:17:47Don't!
00:17:51Relax.
00:17:52Back up.
00:17:52She's not interested.
00:18:08Aurora?
00:18:15Aurora.
00:18:16Once that collar is on, you can't take it off yourself.
00:18:19That'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.
00:18:31Kinda hard to take seriously.
00:18:35Not yet.
00:18:36Julian, what you owe me goes way beyond just my life.
00:18:40And I'm going to get every single piece of it back.
00:18:47You actually came back?
00:18:49A servant's daughter kicks the owner off his own airship and just walks in like nothing happened?
00:18:54Aurora, do you seriously think you belong here?
00:18:57She got the academy to lock down the whole parking lot yesterday.
00:19:00Over Julian's airship?
00:19:02That'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? Who?
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.
00:19:35Between the two of us, who's the servant and who's the heir?
00:19:40Aurora, are we done?
00:19:42Class is starting. I'm not doing this right now.
00:19:45Fine. I'm not in a rush to blow your cover today, Julian.
00:19:48There'll be plenty of opportunities.
00:19:52I can't let people start questioning who I am.
00:19:54I need to get them back on my side.
00:19:59Actually, since everyone's here, I'm throwing a birthday party at the Stellar Hotel this weekend.
00:20:04You're all invited.
00:20:06The 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.
00:20:23Julian only wears the latest everything.
00:20:26There's no way he's broke.
00:20:27Aurora's out here in discount clothes trying to act like she runs the place.
00:20:30It's actually embarrassing.
00:20:32Julian's not usually one to make a big deal of things.
00:20:35But since we're all here, let's celebrate!
00:20:39Everyone's welcome.
00:20:41It's on me.
00:20:42He's covering everything?!
00:20:44Seriously?!
00:20:45This is why Mr. Hale picked him.
00:20:47Makes total sense.
00:20:49Last time around, I 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.
00:21:07And right when I was about to tell him how I felt, he kissed Serena in front of me.
00:21:11Julian, tonight I'm going to give you a birthday you actually won't forget.
00:21:15You seriously showed up? Julian hasn't looked at you in days and you're just crashing his birthday like it's nothing?
00:21:22It's a hotel. I can go wherever I want.
00:21:25Julian didn't even invite you!
00:21:27Are you Julian's dog or Serena's? Neither of them has said anything, so what are you barking for?
00:21:34I thought you said you weren't coming.
00:21:36Oh right, it's your birthday. Honestly almost forgot until I ran into you just now.
00:21:41What are you playing at? Is this about me not inviting you?
00:21:44Aurora, it's Julian's birthday. Don't start something.
00:21:47At the end of the day, you're just the daughter of his family's servant, so say that again.
00:21:51Who do you think you are? A servant's daughter putting her hands on her?
00:21:57You actually pushed me? I'll deal with you myself!
00:22:02Stop!
00:22:10What do you think you're doing?
00:22:14Enough!
00:22:15It's my birthday. Let's not make this a whole thing.
00:22:19Aurora, I'm not gonna hold any of this against you.
00:22:23You said you'd come celebrate, right? Everyone'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, that'd hurt worse than anything else I could do, wouldn't it?
00:22:35Alright then, let's have some fun.
00:22:40Right, okay. It's your birthday, you want everyone to have a good time.
00:22:43I just remembered, I actually booked the best private room in the building for you.
00:22:49The Platinum Suite. You can go in whenever you're ready.
00:22:52You booked the Platinum Suite?
00:22:53Obviously. You care way too much about how things look.
00:22:56I wasn't gonna let your birthday be embarrassing.
00:22:59There it is. Same old Aurora. Talks big and still ends up spending money on me.
00:23:03Some things never change. That's more like it.
00:23:06Alright everyone, let's go.
00:23:13Okay, what are you up to?
00:23:14Think of it as my thank you for stepping in back there.
00:23:17You're about to watch something really good. I just need you to go along with it.
00:23:21Yeah, alright. I'm in.
00:23:33Julian, come on. That bottle alone must be worth thousands.
00:23:37This room is actually unreal.
00:23:39This is what it looks like when you actually own the place.
00:23:42Order whatever you want. Tonight's on me.
00:23:46Julian, you're the best.
00:23:53Whatever 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 gonna be absolutely worth all of it.
00:24:02If that guy hadn't showed up out of nowhere earlier...
00:24:06Okay, but who even is he? He's not nobody.
00:24:08Right? There's something about him.
00:24:10Aurora brought some guy to make me jealous? Please.
00:24:14I can barely look at her as it is.
00:24:17Just so you know, this one glass probably costs more than your mom makes in a year.
00:24:21Wow, that much?
00:24:23Hope whoever is paying can actually cover it.
00:24:25Oh please, Julian's got the tab.
00:24:27Have whatever's left.
00:24:29Consider it a treat for the stray.
00:24:31She's not wrong. I ordered more than enough.
00:24:33Help yourself. The guy you brought though, he's not included.
00:24:37Oh, so I'm not paying? That's great.
00:24:41Mr. Cross, here's tonight's bill.
00:24:43We'd like to settle it now if you don't mind.
00:24:46Hang on! Isn't this Julian's hotel?
00:24:49Why is the hotel charging its owner?
00:24:55Wasn't the room already taken care of?
00:24:57Owner's orders. Whoever buys, pays.
00:25:00Excuse me? This is Julian's hotel. You're seriously gonna 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? Aurora?
00:25:18No way! This hotel is Julian's family's! Everyone knows that!
00:25:24Funny how that works.
00:25:26You 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. Don't do this to me right now.
00:25:46Not really my problem, is it?
00:25:48The Stellar Hotel. That's your family's, right?
00:25:51It is.
00:25:52Can I borrow it tonight?
00:25:53What are you planning?
00:25:55I'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. Everyone just splits it.
00:26:11Pull 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.
00:26:29Maybe I'll think about it.
00:26:34Are you being serious right now?
00:26:36Julian, you're not actually going to...
00:26:40Not gonna do it?
00:26:43Fine. Leon, let's head out.
00:26:46Wait.
00:26:48Please.
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, but let's get one thing straight.
00:27:14I'm not here to bankboat 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, we're just getting started.
00:27:43Keep the frequency steady.
00:27:44Don't force it with a motion.
00:27:46Use your focus to control it.
00:27:47Stop, that's not working.
00:27:49I'm giving it everything I've got.
00:27:51Your power's not the issue, your control is.
00:27:53Okay, one more time.
00:27:56Miss Hale, you're finally back.
00:27:57I brought Julian today to apologize.
00:28:00Looks 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?
00:28:14Yeah, 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.
00:28:22Miss Hale, I made a mistake last time, I know that.
00:28:23But your father and I go way back.
00:28:25You can't just cut me out like this.
00:28:27Are 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.
00:28:43Carl, 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.
00:29:09Go get it.
00:29:13Carl, don't even think about making the Hale family clean up your mess.
00:29:16Not this time.
00:29:19Aurora, you really covered Julian's whole tab last night?
00:29:22So all that money he throws around, that's been yours this whole time?
00:29:25We actually thought he was loaded.
00:29:27Go ask him.
00:29:28Not my story to tell.
00:29:31Aurora, what about me?
00:29:33I'm way easier to deal with than Julian, I promise.
00:29:36For real.
00:29:36If you could fund him, you could fund me.
00:29:44Shut up.
00:29:45All of you.
00:29:51Feeling good about yourself?
00:29:53You humiliated me in front of everyone?
00:29:55What, because I didn't pick you over Serena?
00:29:58The audacity to say that out loud.
00:30:01Incredible.
00:30:02Let me be straight with you, Aurora.
00:30:03It doesn't matter what you do, I'm never going to have feelings for you.
00:30:07You're stupid, fake, and you lie constantly.
00:30:10You're not even in the same league as Serena.
00:30:12Right?
00:30:13You showed up last night with some random guy and now you want to act like you're the victim?
00:30:17Hang 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 of 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, tear me down, and drain my ability.
00:30:48Tell me one actually useful thing you ever did.
00:30:51You being bad at this has nothing to do with me.
00:30:54Your ability is weak because of what you are.
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 the school.
00:31:33What 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 the school.
00:31:43And if I win...
00:31:45Same thing for me.
00:31:47Is she serious?
00:31:48She's going up against Julian on an ability assessment?
00:31:51800?
00:31:52She barely scrapes 400 on a good day.
00:31:55Sure.
00:31:56You're on.
00:31:57Last time around, I couldn't even do basic energy control.
00:31:59I wore Julian's collar and never made it anywhere near a battlefield.
00:32:12This time, I'm going to train until I'm strong enough to protect the people I love.
00:32:23Aurora.
00:32:26Dad!
00:32:27What 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.
00:32:36What's going on with you today?
00:32:38Nothing.
00:32:40All right.
00:32:40All 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.
00:32:46I 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.
00:33:04Wait!
00:33:05Who 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.
00:33:19She'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.
00:34:12Again.
00:34:15Again.
00:34:15Again.
00:34:17Yes!
00:34:18That's it!
00:34:19Okay, we're moving to the next stage.
00:34:21God, he's actually excited about this.
00:34:23This is literally first year stuff.
00:34:28God.
00:34:31Don'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!
00:34:47Take them all out.
00:34:50Take them all out.
00:34:59Okay.
00:35:01Wow.
00:35:03You did it!
00:35:05I did!
00:35:08You've got a real shot at winning that bet now.
00:35:12Couldn't have gotten here without you.
00:35:15I genuinely didn't think I could do this.
00:35:18Leon is nothing like Julia.
00:35:21He's incredible at what he does.
00:35:24And 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 millstone.
00:35:33You know, I've been thinking about it.
00:35:35Why was your ability stuck so low for so long?
00:35:39It 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?
00:36:04You 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, you 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, help 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.
00:37:22Now this is a test worth showing up for.
00:37:33That'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?
00:38:02Called it.
00:38:03She's the same as always.
00:38:04Showing up to embarrass herself in front of everyone?
00:38:07Honestly, kinda sad.
00:38:15You look completely lost!
00:38:17Let me help!
00:38:25She 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!
00:39:03Chloe 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!
00:39:29The alarm was already going off!
00:39:35No.
00:39:37That can't be right.
00:39:39Aurora Hale, complete.
00:39:41Zero error.
00:39:42Zero risk.
00:39:43Hyatt grade.
00:39:46So...
00:39:46How'd that go for everyone?
00:39:49Aurora's score for the park coordination 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!
00:39:59How did she just...
00:40:00Well...
00:40:00Isn't this what you like?
00:40:02Watching me mess up?
00:40:10Settle down.
00:40:11The combined results for all ability assessments are in.
00:40:15Third place overall, Serena Vale.
00:40:18Serena only third?
00:40:19Then who's second?
00:40:21Second place...
00:40:22Julian Cross.
00:40:24How?!
00:40:25Julian's always first!
00:40:26I'm not finished.
00:40:29First place overall...
00:40:34Aurora...
00:40:34Aurora Hale.
00:40:35Composite grade...
00:40:37A percent.
00:40:39What?!
00:40:41Aurora is first?
00:40:42She actually got an A plus!
00:40:46A plus...
00:40:47Catch 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!
00:41:05Don'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!
00:41:35Teacher,
00:41:37Aurora'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 wanna 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?
00:42:11You'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,
00:42:19everyone 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,
00:42:31Aurora and Chloe both come with me to the examination room.
00:42:34Everyone else stays here.
00:42:38Now this is going to be interesting.
00:42:41Aurora.
00:42:41Chloe.
00:42:43Step up one at a time.
00:42:47Aurora.
00:42:48Clean.
00:42:51Chloe.
00:42:52You 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,
00:43:08someone used this
00:43:09to temporarily transfer energy to you,
00:43:12helping you complete the assessment.
00:43:14Isn't that right, Chloe?
00:43:15Looks like the real cheater
00:43:17isn't who everyone thought.
00:43:22That's an energy transfer device.
00:43:24So 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? Can she even graduate?
00:43:38A formal demarriage will be issued and her test scores are nullified.
00:43:43If you breathe a word about me, you're done.
00:43:46Now, does anyone else want to accuse me of cheating?
00:43:49Given that a cheat device was involved during the test,
00:43:51in the interest of fully settling this dispute,
00:43:54Aurora, are you willing to retest?
00:43:56Absolutely.
00:43:57And let a certain someone lose without any excuses.
00:44:00The 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!
00:44:27I 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.
00:44:56Serena, point deducted.
00:45:02Wait!
00:45:03All the trajectories have changed!
00:45:05They're all going in circles.
00:45:07Like they're locked onto an invisible track.
00:45:23Serena, point deducted.
00:45:25Serena, point deducted.
00:45:27Serena, point deducted.
00:45:28How 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.
00:46:3510 laps?
00:46:36I'll die!
00:46:36Chloe, you're the one who started all of this.
00:46:39Julian 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.
00:48:26How did you know?
00:48:35That's...
00:48:42Leo, isn't it?
00:48:44Beautiful...
00:48:44and perfect control.
00:48:49You can actually do this now.
00:48:52Congratulations, I mean it. Congratulations.
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!
00:49:26Aurora?
00:49:28Why is it always her?
00:49:30Don't lose your nerve.
00:49:31Win it back.
00:49:38Her ability is so unfair!
00:49:40Just a harmless little current.
00:49:42It won't hurt you.
00:49:43Feel free to use your light whip if you want.
00:49:47Again!
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?
00:50:09That's fast!
00:50:22You okay?
00:50:28Who is he?!
00:50:30Who is he?!
00:50:31He's gorgeous.
00:50:32This scene...
00:50:33I can barely breathe!
00:50:38I'm...
00:50:38Fine.
00:50:40Let me handle him.
00:50:48He's...
00:50:49Unreal, how does Aurora know someone like him?
00:51:03How is anyone supposed to return that?
00:51:14That easy
00:51:25He returned all of them how is that possible Julian speed looks like child's play next to him
00:51:43His rhythm is breaking down opening on the left
00:51:55Aurora
00:52:09They won?
00:52:10That was brutal
00:52:11You were incredible
00:52:13Your reaction was fast enough too
00:52:15Really?
00:52:21They are so in sync
00:52:23That last move
00:52:26Aurora, drop the act
00:52:28Everything you have, you won it because of a man, didn't you?
00:52:34Who was that old man who picked you up at school every day?
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 who's happy to let some old guy pay her way
00:52:50You actually hit me?
00:52:52Say it again
00:52:53Go ahead
00:52:54You 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 being taken advantage of
00:53:08We were just reminding her
00:53:09As friends
00:53:11Your idea of reminding her is spreading filthy lies about her?
00:53:14But isn't she the one chasing you?
00:53:17The more you know about her situation, the better
00:53:21Let me clarify
00:53:21Aurora is not chasing me
00:53:24I'm the one pursuing her
00:53:26Impossible!
00:53:28Why would you want her?
00:53:29She's already been with an old
00:53:33I mean it
00:53:36Yes
00:53:36You can pursue me
00:53:39Aurora!
00:53:40Done 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 and 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, I'll give you a chance
00:53:52Come back now and I'll consider making you my girlfriend
00:53:56Julian, you are a joke
00:53:57I was the one who was blind
00:53:59I took you way too seriously now
00:54:01You're not even worth the dog shit on the ground
00:54:03Aurora!
00:54:04Who exactly do you think you are?
00:54:05That the world revolves around you?
00:54:07You're with Serena
00:54:09And you're standing right next to her saying this
00:54:11You don't even find that embarrassing?
00:54:13I feel bad for her
00:54:15Is your forgiveness supposed to be worth something?
00:54:17Keep it for yourself
00:54:18Fine
00:54:19Very fine
00:54:20Aurora
00:54:21You'll regret this
00:54:24Julian made a complete fool of himself today
00:54:26Why does this moron get to be pursued by someone like Leon
00:54:29While I'm stuck with a broke loser like Julian?
00:54:33Don't be upset
00:54:34Everything I said back there
00:54:36I 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, I just feel a little beaten down
00:54:47She has that older man protecting her
00:54:48And now she has someone like Leon at her side
00:54:50No matter what I do, I just can't measure up to her
00:54:53Oh stop
00:54:54Someone like Aurora doesn't compare to you
00:54:58Come on
00:54:59We've been playing for hours
00:55:00You must be hungry
00:55:01Tonight, 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
00:55:09The charcoal grilled wagyu
00:55:11A dozen oysters
00:55:12Truffle fries
00:55:14And a sea salt caramel souffle
00:55:15Best champagne you have
00:55:17Thank you
00:55:19Somebody's ordering big
00:55:20Which rich kid is this?
00:55:32Check please
00:55:42Try again
00:55:45You 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 a different payment method?
00:55:54Dad, what happened to the money in my account?
00:55:56I needed it
00:55:57So I moved it
00:55:58Did you gamble it away again?
00:56:00Shut your mouth
00:56:01You don't get to lecture me
00:56:02By the way, you're on your own for next year's tuition
00:56:05So he's broke
00:56:06Showing off like that
00:56:08And now no one's here to bail him out
00:56:09I see now
00:56:10You're not a rich heir at all
00:56:11The 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
00:56:18You finish up
00:56:21Serena
00:56:22Let me explain
00:56:23The money was just temporarily moved by my dad
00:56:27I'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 as 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 and ask her to hire you back as her coach
00:56:46I finally got free of that woman
00:56:48I just 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
00:56:52What you need most right now is money
00:56:55Coaching her pays more than any odd job you could pick up outside
00:56:58And your dad's debt?
00:56:59That has to be handled first, doesn't it?
00:57:02I don't want to do this
00:57:03What's the big deal?
00:57:04I'm just asking you to go earn money from her
00:57:06Not to get back together, we're with her
00:57:10You're broke
00:57:11If you don't earn something
00:57:12What exactly do I have to spend?
00:57:15All right
00:57:16I'm just looking out for you
00:57:18If you're too embarrassed to ask for 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?
00:57:45Could 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
00:57:56Your 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?
00:58:10Aurora
00:58:11I'm willing to forgive everything you've done
00:58:12From now on
00:58:13We keep it strictly professional
00:58:15Coach and student
00:58:16That's all
00:58:18I remember someone just said
00:58:20He'd never forgive me
00:58:24Aurora
00:58:25If the only reason you're shutting Julian out
00:58:27Is because of me and him
00:58:29I can break up with him
00:58:31Please don't
00:58:32Then he'll turn around
00:58:34And 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 heart throb
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
00:58:54You want to turn him into a money-making tool
00:58:58So you can slowly discard him
00:59:00And move on to someone with better prospects
00:59:02Right?
00:59:03Who gave you the right to say that?
00:59:05I just think Julian deserves a better future
00:59:07Right
00:59:07And without a better future
00:59:09How could he keep spending money on you?
00:59:12Aurora
00:59:13Enough
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
00:59:21Isn't giving you a chance to get close to Julia a good thing?
00:59:25You love him
00:59:26After all
00:59:28Keep your charity
00:59:30I don't collect garbage
00:59:33Aurora
00:59:33Enough
00:59:35Stop going after Serena
00:59:39You got sold out and 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?
00:59:51Julian
00:59:52You're a complete idiot
00:59:54Julian, don't!
00:59:56Aurora and I just have a misunderstanding
00:59:58Julian
00:59:58I have a better coach now
01:00:00And a better boyfriend
01:00:01Someone like you
01:00:03Not a consideration
01:00:04Aurora
01:00:05Don't think bringing some random guy to make me jealous is going to change anything
01:00:09Aurora
01:00:09Ignore him
01:00:11Let's go
01:00:15Julian doesn't have much use left
01:00:17But Leon
01:00:17I need to find a way to push Aurora and Julian back together
01:00:20That would give me a way to get close to Leon
01:00:24Better coach
01:00:26Better boyfriend
01:00:28Hmm?
01:00:29What?
01:00:29Any objections?
01:00:31I think
01:00:31I need to earn those words
01:00:37From 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 in all four areas
01:00:43Combine combat, precision control, sustained output, and environmental takeover
01:00:47At this year's graduation ceremony
01:00:48You'll stand on that stage as 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, I was useless in the war
01:00:57I died with the name of a failure
01:00:59While Julian and Serena walked over my father's body
01:01:02This time, I will make myself strong enough
01:01:05Strong enough to defeat them both
01:01:07Yes
01:01:09I'm going to be number one
01:01:10I'm going to surpass Julian and Serena
01:01:13You will
01:01:14One more thing
01:01:16Stay away from Julian
01:01:17I looked into his family background
01:01:18His 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 out of me this time
01:01:33You actually came back?
01:01:34You stole from me again
01:01:37Stole, you're going to hold a little money against your own father?
01:01:40That was my tuition for Nexi My City
01:01:42Tuition?
01:01:43When you were living at the Hale Estate, you never once asked me for tuition money
01:01:47When you were with Aurora, you were bringing home cash hand over win
01:01:50You remember how we lived?
01:01:52And now, you screwed it all up
01:01:56Shut up
01:01:56You shut up
01:01:57A brainless heiress like Aurora
01:01:59You should have had her completely wrapped around your finger
01:02:02And you couldn't even keep up the act
01:02:04Look what you've done to me
01:02:05Tomorrow, you go to Aurora and apologize
01:02:07Get her to hire you back as her coach
01:02:10No
01:02:12You're going whether you want to or not
01:02:14Otherwise, I beat you every day until you do
01:02:17Carl!
01:02:18Get out here!
01:02:21Three months, Carl
01:02:22When are you planning to pay me back?
01:02:25Zane, just give me two more days
01:02:26I'll figure something out
01:02:27Figure what out?
01:02:30Give him the money!
01:02:35I don't have a cent!
01:02:37No money?
01:02:38Then why did you even come back?
01:02:40Act!
01:02:42Drop the act, Carl
01:02:45Boys, beat them both
01:02:51Stop!
01:02:52Stop!
01:02:52Stop!
01:02:53Stop hitting!
01:02:55You're going to kill us!
01:02:57Can't pay your debts?
01:02:58This is what you deserve
01:02:59I have a plan
01:03:00There's a rich iress who's crazy about my son
01:03:02Her father is Victor Hall
01:03:03Three million, five million, it's nothing to her
01:03:05Is that right?
01:03:05If my son is in trouble, she'll pay
01:03:07She always does
01:03:08Fine
01:03:08Tomorrow at noon
01:03:09If I don't see three million, I 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, I'm begging you
01:03:22Please save him!
01:03:24Whether he lives or dies
01:03:25What does that have to do with me?
01:03:27Miss Hale, you'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 if he never came back
01:03:35Though if he dragged himself back missing an arm or a leg
01:03:37That might actually be fun
01:03:39He's your son, not mine
01:03:41The Hale family bullies their employees
01:03:43You leave people to die!
01:03:46My son and I gave years of our lives to this family
01:03:49And this is how you treat them?
01:03:52If you don't agree today
01:03:54I'm staying here until I die!
01:03:57Fine, I'm not sticking around for this
01:03:59Miss Hale, you can't be this cruel!
01:04:01Carl, what's going on?
01:04:03Mr. Hale, please
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, Mr. Hale!
01:04:12Thank you!
01:04:13I know Julian is no good
01:04:15Take the ransom money to them yourself
01:04:17His life is in your hands now
01:04:19How you let off steam is entirely up to you
01:04:21Understood, Dad
01:04:26Miss, here he is
01:04:27Oh, you knocked him out?
01:04:28Oh, we had no way of knowing he was a friend of yours
01:04:30No, I meant
01:04:32You could have been a bit rougher to wake him up
01:04:34I understand, Miss
01:04:35Keep going!
01:04:37Stop!
01:04:39Stop it!
01:04:41Keep going!
01:04:44Stop!
01:04:44Please don't!
01:04:45Please don't!
01:04:47Crack a little girl like me!
01:04:48How could I possibly stop 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!
01:05:00Aurora
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, stop!
01:05:08How do I know you're actually trying to save him and not just stall him?
01:05:12Boys, wait for the money and 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 to one ten thousandth of what I suffered in my past life
01:05:28Aurora
01:05:28Aurora's
01:05:29You came for me?
01:05:31Of course
01:05:31Your father came to our home begging in tears for three million
01:05:35My father didn't want to, luckily I spoke up for you
01:05:38Julian
01:05:39Now you know who actually cares about you, don't you?
01:05:42Everything before, that was all my fault
01:05:44I swear
01:05:45From now on, I'll treat you right
01:05:46Good
01:05:48Let me get someone to take you to the hospital first
01:05:52Aurora
01:05:53For you
01:05:54Your favorite
01:05:55Hazelnut latte
01:05:56I went out of my way to get it
01:05:58Your memory's as bad as ever
01:06:00I stopped drinking that a long time ago
01:06:02That's fine
01:06:03I also got an ice americano with a double shot
01:06:05Weren't you into strong coffee lately?
01:06:08Aurora
01:06:09I made this for you myself
01:06:14Wow
01:06:15That's a full spread
01:06:17That's incredible
01:06:19Now this is something, Leon
01:06:21Thank you
01:06:22Aurora, are you messing with me?
01:06:28You do realize
01:06:29Drinking coffee on an empty stomach
01:06:31Is hard on Aurora's stomach, right?
01:06:36Aurora
01:06:36Aurora
01:06:38What exactly is going on between you and Leon?
01:06:41Are you already together?
01:06:43Let go, you're hurting me
01:06:44Stop acting
01:06:45I can see it
01:06:46Every time you look at him
01:06:47Your eyes are different
01:06:48You never looked at me that way
01:06:51Does 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 for a fool
01:07:00Aurora
01:07:01What's gotten into you?
01:07:02When did I ever deceive you?
01:07:04Stop performing
01:07:06Okay
01:07:07I admit there was something between Serena and me before
01:07:09But since I cleared the air with you
01:07:11But since I cleared the air with you
01:07:12I'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 get off?
01:07:24What does this have to do with you?
01:07:26Do you have any idea how much Aurora was in love with me?
01:07:28She's with you now just to boost her scores and make me notice her
01:07:30You really think you have any right to play hero for her?
01:07:33I was actually going to string you along a bit longer
01:07:35Let you find out what it's like to pour your heart out to someone who treats it like garbage
01:07:39But who the hell do you think you are speaking to Leon like that?
01:07:42Stay away from me from now on
01:07:44Come near me one more time and I'll make you look a lot worse than today
01:07:51Sorry, I almost failed to protect you
01:07:54It wasn't your fault
01:07:56I was the one who was too naive before
01:07:58At least this time, I didn't let him get what he wanted
01:08:02Aurora
01:08:03Did he hurt you like this before?
01:08:05In the past?
01:08:07I once had a dream
01:08:09In the dream, I couldn't see someone's true face
01:08:11No matter how hard I tried
01:08:12I gave him everything I had
01:08:14And in the end, he got me killed
01:08:15That person was Julian?
01:08:17I regretted it
01:08:18I couldn't accept it, but the dream ended
01:08:20I woke up
01:08:26Was I in your dream?
01:08:30Yes
01:08:31At the very end of the dream, you appeared
01:08:33And after that, everything was better
01:08:36Once the graduation ceremony is over, I'll tell you the rest of the story
01:08:40Good
01:08:40I'll wait
01:08:43Oh, you've been confirmed as this year's student representative for the graduation ceremony
01:08:48After the ceremony, I have something for you
01:08:51Thank you in advance
01:08:52Everything I've achieved, that's all down to my coach
01:09:06My darling girl
01:09:07Don't be nervous tonight
01:09:09Dad can't wait to 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 as student representative
01:09:19And now you think you're going to stand on that stage and shine?
01:09:23Aurora
01:09:23I will ruin you in front of the entire school
01:09:30Tonight is our graduation ceremony and our night of honors
01:09:33This school was established through the efforts of our mutant war hero, Victor Holt
01:09:37Our school motto has always been one line
01:09:40To let mutants and humans grow together under the same sky and flourish as one
01:09:44Each of you seated here tonight has passed seven years of this school's trial
01:09:47Now, please welcome this year's student representative to the stage for the commencement address
01:09:54Good evening, everyone
01:09:56I'm your student representative for tonight
01:09:58And I'm proud to be standing here
01:09:59For a long time, I was not someone others considered worthy of this school
01:10:03But today, I want to start by saying thank you to
01:10:06I have an accusation
01:10:14Aurora has no right to stand here
01:10:18She has no morals
01:10:19She's some old man's kept woman spending his money bullying her classmates
01:10:24And now she gets to stand on this stage as student representative?
01:10:27I'm making this accusation under my own name
01:10:35Everyone, look at the evidence
01:10:38Aurora and this older man, look how close they are
01:10:40She used this disgusting relationship to get money and status she never earned
01:10:45A disgrace like her, what right does she have to represent us?
01:10:50So it's actually true, she really is being kept by some old man
01:10:53Aurora, your taste is something else
01:10:56Old and bald and you still went for it?
01:10:59Old and bald
01:11:02Sir, these students are out of line, I'll handle it immediately
01:11:06No need
01:11:08I'd like to see how this plays out
01:11:13This is the man you're calling my keeper?
01:11:17The evidence is right there, are you going to deny it?
01:11:20You're not wrong, he is someone I love
01:11:27Though at the moment, he can only rank second among the men I love
01:11:32You're actually admitting it?
01:11:34Aurora, you've got absolutely no shame when it comes to money
01:11:37You actually like some old bald man?
01:11:40I said I love him, is there a problem with that?
01:11:43Are we not allowed to tell the truth now?
01:11:47Aurora, you have absolutely no shame
01:11:50Every school board member is here tonight
01:11:52You're saying this in front of the entire school
01:11:53Do you feel no embarrassment whatsoever?
01:11:56Someone like her should be expelled!
01:11:57Exactly, expeller!
01:11:58Student representative, her?
01:11:59Julian, you know her better than anyone
01:12:01Tell us, is she being kept or not?
01:12:02Right, you were her coach, you must know
01:12:04Julian, I'm giving you one last chance
01:12:07You tell everyone
01:12:10What is the relationship between me and the man in that photo?
01:12:17The person in the photo is
01:12:18No
01:12:19If I say it, what happens to Serena?
01:12:22This photo is beyond appropriate
01:12:24Aurora, if you apologize right now
01:12:27You can still walk away with some dignity
01:12:30Julian, you really haven't changed at all
01:12:32Still love turning everything on its head
01:12:35Aurora, don't change the subject
01:12:36You're the one changing the subject, fine
01:12:38Since you want to burn it all down in front of the whole school
01:12:41I'll lay everything out
01:12:41Julian, you drove my car, lived in my estate
01:12:44Spent my money buying gifts for Serena
01:12:46Impersonated a wealthy heir
01:12:47And spread rumors that I was a servant's daughter
01:12:48You've played Lord Julian for so long
01:12:50Did you actually start believing it?
01:12:52What?
01:12:53Julian's money was all from Aurora?
01:12:54He's not Victor Hale's chosen heir?
01:12:56She's lying!
01:12:57Shut up, Chloe
01:12:58See Julian for what he really is
01:13:00He's nothing but a coach who wormed his way into the Hale estate
01:13:03And stole my identity to lord it over all of you
01:13:08Quiet! Everyone quiet!
01:13:10Enough
01:13:13Victor Hale?
01:13:14The war hero?
01:13:16Doesn't he never appear in public?
01:13:18I am disappointed
01:13:18Since this school was founded
01:13:20I have emphasized only one thing
01:13:22Peace
01:13:22Peace is not words
01:13:24It is not applause in an auditorium
01:13:26While saying mutual prosperity
01:13:28Peace begins with the most basic respect
01:13:30Respect for other people
01:13:31Respect for the truth
01:13:32Didn't you all just spell it out clearly?
01:13:35Anyone with no morals
01:13:36Anyone who harms fellow students
01:13:39Anyone who corrupts this school's culture
01:13:41Should be expelled
01:13:43So let's follow your own rule
01:13:45Aurora
01:13:45What are you still standing there for?
01:13:47Go pack your things
01:13:48And get out of this school
01:13:49You misunderstood
01:13:55No way! He's...
01:13:56Does that mean?
01:13:57That's right
01:13:58The man you've been calling old and bold
01:14:01Is me
01:14:01Aurora is my one and only daughter
01:14:03Aurora is actually Victor Hale's daughter?
01:14:06Oh my god!
01:14:07Serena and the others are finished
01:14:09Oh my god!
01:14:15Principal, it's in your hands from here
01:14:18The school has confirmed the following
01:14:20All students involved in tonight's malicious rumor spreading
01:14:23Are hereby expelled
01:14:24Primary instigators
01:14:26Serena Vail and Chloe Mercer
01:14:27Effective immediately
01:14:30I didn't mean to!
01:14:32Oh my god!
01:14:33Oh my god!
01:14:33Oh my god!
01:14:34This can't be happening
01:14:38It's a shame Julian, you're a remarkably talented young man
01:14:40I had originally planned to recommend you to the defense ministry when you graduated
01:14:44Your conduct is beneath contempt
01:14:46Stay away from Aurora from now on
01:14:48By the way, my daughter is not involved with anyone other than her fiancé, Mr. Hart
01:14:53I heard that the position of my daughter's most loved man
01:14:56You stole that from me
01:14:58I apologize, sir
01:15:00Don't apologize, you earned it!
01:15:03Aurora, I said I had something for you after the ceremony
01:15:05But I think now is the right moment
01:15:09Once, I was a step too late
01:15:11That won't happen again
01:15:12Aurora Hale, will you marry me?
01:15:17Leon, in my past life, if I could do it all over again, I'd choose you
01:15:21I would
01:15:22In my past life, I didn't know who truly loved me until the moment I died
01:15:26This time, I will not miss it
01:15:29I do
01:15:36Future son-in-law, I'll let you pass for now
01:15:39Don't you dare let my daughter suffer
01:15:41I promise
01:15:51Future son-in-law, I'll let you say
01:15:52I love you
01:15:53Future son-in-law
01:15:54Future son-in-law
