00:00:06BIRK
00:00:20Dad...
00:00:26Juliet!
00:00:28I knew you'd come!
00:00:30The humans started a war.
00:00:33My whole family is gone.
00:00:39Yeah, I know.
00:00:40I'm the one who started it.
00:00:41And I'm the one who had your family killed.
00:00:44You're a mutant too.
00:00:46Why 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.
00:00:53Wow.
00:00:54You said you'd marry me.
00:00:56You 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.
00:01:17That's not an energy stone.
00:01:18It's null stone, made specifically to shut abilities down.
00:01:22Every single day it's been draining you,
00:01:25destroying 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,
00:01:53it floods your system with noxious resonates.
00:01:55So from day one, there was never any love there.
00:01:57Was there?
00:01:58You're still on that?
00:02:00Every single day of those seven years was something I had to survive.
00:02:04If it weren't for your father's name,
00:02:08I wouldn't have given you a second look.
00:02:10No!
00:02:23You had this coming.
00:02:34Aurora!
00:02:36Aurora!
00:02:37Aurora!
00:02:45I was too late.
00:02:49I'm sorry.
00:02:51I'm so sorry.
00:02:54I'm so sorry.
00:03:26No!
00:03:31stop

00:03:55Aurora
00:03:57I don't know how to make you get it
00:04:00none of it means anything
00:04:02without you it never did
00:04:06you just
00:04:07never saw that
00:04:10all those years
00:04:11dad kept bringing up Leon
00:04:14kept mentioning the engagement
00:04:16Leon was always just
00:04:18there
00:04:19quietly awkwardly there
00:04:22and I threw that away chasing someone
00:04:24who never gave a damn about me
00:04:27I wasted everything
00:04:30my whole life
00:04:32I was so blind
00:04:34you were right there and I couldn't see it
00:04:38and now it's too late
00:04:46Leon
00:04:48before I go
00:04:50do one last thing for me
00:04:52take off this collar
00:04:54I don't want to die wearing it
00:04:58okay

00:05:49seventh year practical ops class
00:05:52I can still fix this
00:05:54I can change everything
00:06:02the blue stone gives basic suppression of the host's energy
00:06:05the green stone is different
00:06:07it actively feeds on the host's energy
00:06:08and 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

00:14:21i love you
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?
00:14:50Aurora, 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.
00:15:46No, 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.
00:16:05Starting with becoming 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, 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?
00:16:25I'm your coach.
00:16:27If you let him anywhere near your training.
00:16:30I'm gone.
00:16:32Of course.
00:16:33She's just using me to get to Julian.
00:16:36Then go ahead.
00:16:37I knew you'd...
00:16:39Wait, what?
00:16:40I said I already have a new coach.
00:16:43I don't need you anymore.
00:16:45You can go.
00:16:47You...
00:16:47What?
00:16:48You heard me.
00:16:50Leave.
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.
00:17:02Aurora, I know you're mad about me and Serena.
00:17:03But there's nothing going on.
00:17:05We're just friends.
00:17:06Sure.
00:17:11I actually came tonight to give you something.
00:17:14Open it.
00:17:21It'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 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.
00:17:48Don't...
00:17:51Relax.
00:17:52Back up.
00:17:52She's not interested.
00:18:08Aurora?
00:18:09Aurora?
00:18:15Aurora, once 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.
00:18:24I'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, 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.
00:19:17The 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.
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.
00:19:52I 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,
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 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.
00:20:48Last 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.
00:21:12Julian, tonight I'm going to give you a birthday you actually won't forget.
00:21:15You seriously showed up?
00:21:18Julian hasn't looked at you in days and 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, so 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, almost 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.
00:21:44Aurora, it's Julian's birthday.
00:21:46Don'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?
00:21:53A servant's daughter putting her hands on her!
00:21:58You 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, I'm not gonna 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, that'd hurt worse than anything else I could do, wouldn'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.
00:22:44I just remembered, I 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.
00:22:52You booked the Platinum Suite?
00:22:53Obviously.
00:22:54You care way too much about how things look.
00:22:56I wasn't gonna let your birthday be embarrassing.
00:22:59There it is.
00:23:00Same 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 sorry.
00:23:33Julian, come on.
00:23:34That 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.
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 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?
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?
00:24:13Please.
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?
00:24:22Hope whoever's 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.
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?
00:24:39That'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
00:25:14the owner.
00:25:15Wait, who is he talking to?
00:25:17The owner?
00:25:18Aurora?
00:25:18No 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,
00:25:32and somehow the bill ends up in front of me?
00:25:39Aurora, 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?
00:25:48Stellar 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.
00:26:11Pull it together, see what happens.
00:26:14Wait, split it ourselves?
00:26:16Didn'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.
00:26:33Are 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.
00:26:46Wait.
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.
00:27:12But 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.
00:27:39We're just getting started.
00:27:43Keep the frequency steady.
00:27:44Don't force it with emotion.
00:27:46Use 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 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.
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.
00:28:27Are 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.
00:28:37Everything 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 now.
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.
00:29:37If 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.
00:30:05I'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 of people?
00:30:33And 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?
00:31:10Stability assessment.
00:31:12Score above 800,
00:31:14and 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,
00:31:26you put on a bra and a skirt,
00:31:28strap on energy restraint rings,
00:31:30and run ten laps around 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,
00:31:39you put on a bra and a skirt,
00:31:41strap on energy restraint rings,
00:31:42and run ten laps around the school.
00:31:44And if I win?
00:31:46Same 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,
00:31:58I couldn't even do basic energy control.
00:32:00I wore Julian's collar
00:32:01and never made it anywhere near a battlefield.
00:32:12This time,
00:32:13I'm going to train
00:32:14until I'm strong enough
00:32:16to 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,
00:32:32you died right in front of me
00:32:33and 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.
00:32:47I want to actually train,
00:32:48get my ability to where it should be.
00:32:49Yeah?
00:32:50You mean that?
00:32:55That's what I'm talking about.
00:32:56That's my girl.
00:33:04Wait!
00:33:05Who is that?
00:33:08That's just some old guy.
00:33:12Why is he so friendly with Aurora?
00:33:14Seriously?
00:33:15I've been wondering
00:33:16where 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
00:33:22was never into her.
00:33:27I made a bet with Julian.
00:33:29Score above 800
00:33:30on the semester assessment.
00:33:31Whoever loses
00:33:32has to wear restraint rings.
00:33:33I'll get you there.
00:33:34And honestly,
00:33:35your training's already showing.
00:33:36I can feel it.
00:33:38Really?
00:33:40I figured you'd say
00:33:41800 was way out of reach
00:33:42for 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
00:33:47as being weak.
00:33:48He's right.
00:33:49Last time Julian
00:33:50chipped away at me
00:33:51bit by bit
00:33:52until I didn't even know
00:33:52what I was capable of anymore.
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, we're moving
00:34:20to the next stage.
00:34:21God,
00:34:22he's actually excited about this.
00:34:23This is literally
00:34:24first-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
00:35:10at winning that bet now.
00:35:12Couldn't have gotten here
00:35:13without you.
00:35:15I genuinely didn't think
00:35:17I could do this.
00:35:18Leon is nothing like Julia.
00:35:21He's incredible
00:35:22at what he does.
00:35:24And he's still
00:35:25this patient
00:35:26and kind with me.
00:35:28Julian just called me stupid
00:35:29and tricked me
00:35:31into wearing
00:35:31a bunch of green millstone.
00:35:33You know,
00:35:34I've been thinking about it.
00:35:35Why was your ability
00:35:36stuck so low
00:35:37for so long?
00:35:39It really feels like
00:35:40something was
00:35:41deliberately
00:35:42suppressing it.
00:35:44Okay.
00:35:45Okay.
00:35:46Okay.
00:35:47Okay.
00:35:48Okay.
00:35:56Finally here
00:35:57to grab your stuff
00:35:58from the basement.
00:35:59Make sure you get everything.
00:36:01Feeling pretty good
00:36:02about this bet, huh, Aurora?
00:36:04You really think
00:36:04a new training partner
00:36:05is going to be enough?
00:36:06You're not going to hit 800.
00:36:08You never will.
00:36:09You seem really sure
00:36:10about that.
00:36:11Admit it, Aurora.
00:36:12This is just another way
00:36:13for you to get my attention
00:36:14and you know it.
00:36:16Your attention.
00:36:17Right.
00:36:18Actually,
00:36:18that reminds me
00:36:19of something.
00:36:27Take all of this
00:36:28with you two.
00:36:29I don't want any of it.
00:36:31I told you.
00:36:32Blue sapphire pieces
00:36:33are for stabilizing
00:36:34your ability.
00:36:36Surprise.
00:36:36I ran a restoration
00:36:37technique on them.
00:36:38Every single one
00:36:39is nudstone.
00:36:40All those times
00:36:40you called them stabilizers,
00:36:42you were actually using them
00:36:43to drain me
00:36:43and keep me weak.
00:36:44So I'd have no choice
00:36:45but to keep you around.
00:36:47Right?
00:36:48That's why her ability
00:36:49was stuck this whole time.
00:36:50It was you.
00:36:51Julian,
00:36:52that's fucked up.
00:36:55I don't know
00:36:56what you two
00:36:56are going on about.
00:36:58Take your shit
00:36:59and 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,

00:37:12and placement stability

00:41:36teacher aurora's improvement is too dramatic
00:41:38i'm requesting she be examined do you have evidence if not shut your mouth
00:41:43otherwise i'll file a defamation complaint

00:41:48a dead last student like you
00:41:50your old schools speak for themselves
00:41:52you are getting examined today

00:42:01fine

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
00:42:15fine
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
00:42:21otherwise
00:42:22how do we know who really tampered with things
00:42:24how is she this sharp all of a sudden
00:42:26it's like she's a completely different person
00:42:28she has a point
00:42:29in the interest of fairness
00:42:31aurora and chloe both come with me to the examination room
00:42:34everyone else stays here
00:42:37now this is going to be interesting
00:42:40aurora
00:42:41chloe
00:42:42step up one at a time
00:42:47aurora
00:42:48clean
00:42:51chloe
00:42:52you seem nervous
00:42:59an energy transfer device
00:43:01that's not mine
00:43:02i i don't know how it got there
00:43:04oh really
00:43:05it grew legs and crawled there on its own
00:43:07during the test
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
00:43:21that'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
00:43:30the student who cheated
00:43:32was chloe
00:43:34what
00:43:35it was chloe
00:43:36nullified can she even graduate
00:43:37a formal demarriage will be issued
00:43:39and her test scores are nullified
00:43:43if you breathe a word about me
00:43:44you're done
00:43:45now
00:43:46does 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
00:43:55absolutely
00:43:56and let a certain someone lose without any excuses
00:44:00the retest will be defensive stabilization
00:44:03each tester protects their own core sphere
00:44:06fewer hits on the core within the time limit means a higher score
00:44:10aurora serena
00:44:11begin
00:44:17that's serena for you
00:44:18so precise
00:44:20so elegant

00:45:27how is this possible
00:45:30the result of this test

00:45:36no cheating involved

00:57:51for
00:57:52this
00:57:53julian is really struggling
00:57:54right now
00:57:55you've probably heard
00:57:56about his father
00:57:56your family has plenty of money
00:57:58and julian's ability is strong
00:58:00if you agree

00:58:01seriously 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
00:58:12everything you've done

00:58:15coach and student
00:58:16that's all
00:58:18i remember someone just said
00:58:20he'd never forgive me
00:58:25aurora
00:58:25if the only reason
00:58:26you'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

00:58:34and say i forced you to leave him
00:58:36i get it aurora

00:58:39aren't you
00:58:39stop pretending to know me
00:58:41let's talk about you serena
00:58:43you like 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
00:58:54you 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
