00:00:17Dad.
00:00:26Julian!
00:00:27I knew you'd come.
00:00:30The humans started a war.
00:00:33My whole family is gone.
00:00:38Yeah, I know.
00:00:40I'm the one who started it.
00:00:41And I'm the one who had your family killed.
00:00:43You're a mutant too.
00:00:45Why would you do this to us?
00:00:48God, you're stupid.
00:00:49I'm standing on the winning side.
00:00:51It's not that complicated.
00:00:52Oh, you said you'd marry me.
00:00:55You gave me this.
00:00:56You 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
00:01:06have actually been able to save someone.
00:01:09My ability is S-Class.
00:01:11Then this collar.
00:01:12You said the blue stone would help me control my power.
00:01:16That's not an energy stone.
00:01:18It's null stone.
00:01:19Made specifically to shut abilities down.
00:01:22Every single day it's been draining you.
00:01:24Destroying you from the inside.
00:01:28You lied to me!
00:01:48S-Class doesn't matter when you're collared.
00:01:51Every time you push your power, it floods your system with noxious resonates.
00:01:55So from day one, there was never any love there.
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.
00:02:09You had this coming.
00:02:34Aurora!
00:02:42Leon.
00:02:44Leon.
00:02:46I was too late.
00:02:48I'm sorry.
00:02:50I'm so sorry.
00:02:56Leon.
00:03:09Leon.
00:03:27No.
00:03:31Stop.
00:03:34You're wasting your energy.
00:03:35There's nothing left to do.
00:03:39But if you're gone,
00:03:41what's any of this even for?
00:03:44Don't.
00:03:45You're the strongest blood ability user alive.
00:03:50You have to keep going.
00:03:52Our people still need you to fight.
00:03:55Aurora.
00:03:57I don't know how to make you get it.
00:04:00None of it means anything without you.
00:04:02It never did.
00:04:06You just never saw that.
00:04:10All those years, dad kept bringing up Leon.
00:04:13Kept mentioning the engagement.
00:04:16Leon was always just there.
00:04:19Quietly, awkwardly there.
00:04:21And I threw that away chasing someone who never gave a damn about me.
00:04:27I wasted everything.
00:04:30My whole life.
00:04:32I was so blind.
00:04:34You were right there and I couldn't see it.
00:04:38And now it's too late.
00:04:46Leon.
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.
00:04:57Okay.
00:05:06Leon.
00:05:08If I could do it all over again, I'd choose you.
00:05:14I really would.
00:05:18No!
00:05:19No!
00:05:23God, you're stupid.
00:05:25Bloods your system with noxious resonance.
00:05:26I'm the one who had your family killed.
00:05:27Aurora!
00:05:32I'm alive.
00:05:35No wounds.
00:05:37No collar.
00:05:43Which means,
00:05:45this is before Julian gave me the collar?
00:05:47This is
00:05:48seventh year practical ops class?
00:05:51I 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.
00:06:06It actively feeds on the host's energy and releases harmful radiation.
00:06:10Long-term exposure causes irreversible damage.
00:06:13It's not an energy stone.
00:06:14It's null stone.
00:06:15Now, I'd like a student to come up and demonstrate.
00:06:21Aurora?
00:06:23You?
00:06:26Isn't she the worst student in the class?
00:06:30Great.
00:06:31Here we go again.
00:06:36Try not to fry it the second you touch it.
00:06:39I mean, if she actually pulls it off for once.
00:06:41I'll clap.
00:06:42I will.
00:06:47Now, release your current.
00:07:07She can't even float an apple.
00:07:09Like, what is she even doing up there?
00:07:12Can't hold a basic current steady?
00:07:14Yeah, no surprise there.
00:07:18Don't stop.
00:07:19Try again.
00:07:28What?
00:07:29Waiting for me to come fix it for you?
00:07:35You're still on that?
00:07:37Every single day of those seven years was something I had to survive.
00:07:41If it weren't for your father's name,
00:07:45I wouldn't have given you a second look.
00:07:54What?
00:08:01Aurora!
00:08:02Pull back!
00:08:03Aurora!
00:08:20You fucked up again!
00:08:22Look what you did!
00:08:24Zero control, huh?
00:08:25Just leaking all over the place like a busted wire!
00:08:28She shouldn't even be enrolled here.
00:08:30Half-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.
00:08:47He's set to inherit the whole Hale estate.
00:08:49Aurora's just some servant's kid.
00:08:50Victor Hale's successor?
00:08:52Heir to the Hale estate?
00:08:53And I'm the servant's kid.
00:08:55Julian, you've really been out here telling people that?
00:08:57Stop making shit up!
00:08:59You heard Serena apologize to her right now!
00:09:01Julian, you're so sweet.
00:09:04You heard him.
00:09:05Apologize?
00:09:06He's basically the heir to the Hale family.
00:09:08Heir to the Hale family?
00:09:10You don't even know his last name.
00:09:12You know what?
00:09:13You're exhausting!
00:09:14You're not riding back with us today!
00:09:16She's different today.
00:09:18Something's off.
00:09:19You're not letting me ride with you?
00:09:20Julian, you've got it backwards.
00:09:23You're not riding with me.
00:09:30Where's she coming?
00:09:31No.
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?
00:09:41By herself?
00:09:43Before everyone else?
00:09:44She's not even gonna wait for Julian?
00:09:46A servant's daughter just taking the wheel like she owns it?
00:09:49She should be expelled for this.
00:09:58Aurora, how come you're not waiting for Julian today?
00:10:03Julian who?
00:10:04His last name is Cross, not Hale.
00:10:06He's your son, Carl.
00:10:08Don't tell me you forgot that.
00:10:09My son is your private coach.
00:10:11The Hale family's always been generous.
00:10:13Surely you wouldn't make your coach walk all the way home?
00:10:17Everyone knows you're obsessed with my son.
00:10:20He snaps his fingers and you come running.
00:10:22Everything the Hale family has, it's only a matter of time before it's ours.
00:10:30Aurora!
00:10:33You're a servant's kid!
00:10:35Get out of the pilot's seat!
00:10:36Now!
00:10:37Get down!
00:10:38You think you belong up there?
00:10:40What?
00:10:40You think you own it?
00:10:42Your airship?
00:10:44That's a pretty funny misunderstanding.
00:10:47Want me to clear it up for everyone right now?
00:10:51What is she doing?
00:10:52I have to get on this airlift in front of everyone.
00:10:54I can't let anyone find out I'm just the parking guy's son.
00:11:01Look, I'm not even mad anymore.
00:11:03I'll let it go.
00:11:04Aurora, is this really worth it?
00:11:07I don't need you to let anything go.
00:11:09And I'd really appreciate it if you stopped following me around.
00:11:13Are you kidding me right now?
00:11:15Julian, why are you still being nice to her?
00:11:20Get down!
00:11:24That's what you get!
00:11:26She really thought she was going to win that?
00:11:34Come on.
00:11:35She's not worth it.
00:11:39Good riddance.
00:11:41Blocking the way like she owns the place?
00:11:43Who does she think she is?
00:11:44Carl, do not clear them for departure.
00:11:48Miss, miss, are you quite done?
00:11:53Let's not keep Julian and Miss Vale waiting.
00:11:57I'll say this once more.
00:11:59If that airship leaves, you're not going to like what happens next.
00:12:02You're really worked up today.
00:12:04But once Julian comes back and says the right things, you'll drop it.
00:12:07You always do.
00:12:11Did you see that?
00:12:12That's how it's done!
00:12:14It's not even your airship.
00:12:16Stop pretending.
00:12:19Dad, there's a staff member here at the Academy, Carl Cross.
00:12:23He just authorized the departure of our private airship without permission.
00:12:26I think we should let him go.
00:12:28Effective immediately.
00:12:30Oh, sure.
00:12:31Nice story.
00:12:32Who's your dad?
00:12:33The principal?
00:12:33Is she about to say she owns the school too?
00:12:37You really think one phone call fixes this?
00:12:41Just watch.
00:12:51What happened?
00:12:53You literally just left!
00:12:54The Academy forced a lockdown.
00:12:56System 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...
00:13:08There has to be a mistake.
00:13:09You had no authority over that airship.
00:13:12Get off me!
00:13:13I was doing my job!
00:13:14He actually got fired.
00:13:16One call and she just...
00:13:20I apologize that this happened on school grounds, Miss Hale.
00:13:23Your airship's access been fully restored.
00:13:28Aurora, you've actually pissed me off this time.
00:13:32Good.
00:13:33Get used to it.
00:13:36Good.
00:13:37Get used to it.
00:13:39This is just the beginning.
00:13:41Bye.
00:13:41Lord Julian.
00:13:44Bye.
00:13:56Lord Julian.
00:13:57It's all still here.
00:13:59We still have a chance to fix this.

00:20:12Julian that's insane
00:20:14you can just casually book a place like that
00:20:16I heard Julian actually owns the Stellar Hotel
00:20:18of course he does
00:20:19that's just how he operates
00:20:22I knew it
00:20:23Julian only wears the latest everything
00:20:25there's no way he's broke
00:20:27Aurora's out here in discount clothes
00:20:28trying 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
00:20:34but since we're all here
00:20:36let's celebrate
00:20:39everyone's welcome
00:20:40it's on me

00:20:46makes total sense
00:20:48last time around
00:20:49I spent eight million on his birthday
00:20:51made him look incredible
00:20:52never got a thank you

00:23:41order whatever you want
00:23:43tonight's on me
00:23:46Julian, you're the best
00:23:52whatever you want, it's yours

00:23:58when that bill hits the table

00:24:02if that guy hadn't showed up out of nowhere earlier
00:24:05okay, 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?
00:24:12please
00:24:14I can barely look at her as it is
00:24:16just so you know
00:24:17this one glass probably costs more than your mom makes in a year
00:24:20wow, that much?
00:24:22hope whoever's paying can actually cover it
00:24:24oh please, Julian's got the tab
00:24:27have whatever's left
00:24:28consider it a treat for the stray
00:24:30she's not wrong
00:24:31I ordered more than enough
00:24:32help yourself
00:24:33the guy you brought though
00:24:35he's not included
00:24:36oh, so I'm not paying?
00:24:38that's great
00:24:41Mr. Cross
00:24:41here's tonight's bill
00:24:43we'd like to settle it now
00:24:44if 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
00:24:57whoever buys, pays
00:25:00excuse me?
00:25:01this is Julian's hotel
00:25:03you're seriously gonna charge him?
00:25:05he could have you fired right now
00:25:07yeah, fire him!
00:25:09miss
00:25:09someone here seems to be trying to skip out on the bill
00:25:12and pass themselves off as the owner
00:25:15wait, who is he talking to?
00:25:17the owner?
00:25:17Aurora?
00:25:18no way
00:25:19this hotel is Julian's family's
00:25:21everyone knows that
00:25:24funny how that works
00:25:26you book the fanciest room in the building
00:25:29let everyone eat and drink whatever they want
00:25:32and somehow the bill ends up in front of me
00:25:38Aurora
00:25:38come on, just cover it and we move on
00:25:41don't do this to me right now
00:25:45not really my problem, is it?

00:25:51it is?
00:25:51can I borrow it tonight?
00:25:53what are you planning?
00:25:54I'm going to act like I'm spending money on Julian
00:25:57but I won't actually pay
00:25:58when he's completely out of options
00:26:01he'll have to come to me
00:26:04okay, that's actually pretty good
00:26:07here's an idea
00:26:07everyone just splits it
00:26:10pull it together
00:26:11see what happens
00:26:14wait
00:26:15split it ourselves?

00:26:18Aurora
00:26:19stop messing around and just pay it
00:26:21you want a favor?
00:26:23then ask like you mean it
00:26:26get on your knees and ask me nicely
00:26:29maybe

00:29:20Julian's whole tab last night?
00:29:22so all that money he throws around
00:29:23that'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
00:29:31what about me?
00:29:33I'm way easier to deal with
00:29:34than Julian
00:29:35I promise
00:29:35for real
00:29:36if you could fund him
00:29:37you could fund me
00:29:43shut up
00:29:44all of you

00:29:52you humiliated me
00:29:54in front of everyone
00:29:55what?
00:29:55because I didn't pick you over Serena?
00:29:58the audacity
00:29:59to say that out loud
00:30:00incredible
00:30:01let me be straight with you Aurora
00:30:03it doesn't matter what you do
00:30:04I'm never going to have feelings for you
00:30:06you're stupid
00:30:07fake
00:30:08and 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
00:30:15now you want to act like you're the victim?
00:30:16hang on
00:30:17Julian's the one who couldn't pay his own bill last night
00:30:20yeah
00:30:20so why is he making this her fault?
00:30:23she's the one who made me invite everyone in the first place
00:30:25I didn't even want to go
00:30:26and then she turned around and made everyone look stupid
00:30:29Aurora
00:30:30you think money gives you the right to do whatever you want of people?
00:30:33and all that stuff about supporting me?
00:30:36that was a coaching fee you already owed!
00:30:38a coaching fee?
00:30:40really?
00:30:41since the day you started
00:30:43all you did was spend my money
00:30:44tear me down
00:30:45and drain my ability
00:30:48tell me one actually useful thing you ever did
00:30:50you being bad at this
00:30:52has nothing to do with me
00:30:53your 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
00:31:02fine
00:31:02you've got a new one
00:31:04let's see what he can actually do
00:31:06what does that mean?
00:31:07are they seriously making a bet right now?
00:31:09stability assessment
00:31:11score above 800
00:31:14and I'll admit it was my fault
00:31:16that's your idea of stakes?
00:31:18why would anyone take that bet?
00:31:19what more do you want?
00:31:20Julian's literally putting himself on the line here
00:31:24fine
00:31:24if I win
00:31:26you put on a bra and a skirt
00:31:28strap on energy restraint rings
00:31:29and run 10 laps around the school
00:31:32what more do you want?
00:31:33Julian's literally putting himself on the line here
00:31:35fine
00:31:37if I win
00:31:38you put on a bra and a skirt
00:31:40strap on energy restraint rings
00:31:42and run 10 laps around the school
00:31:43and if I win
00:31:45same thing for me
00:31:46is she serious?
00:31:48she's going up against Julian
00:31:49on an ability assessment
00:31:50800
00:31:51she barely scrapes 400 on a good day
00:31:55sure
00:31:55you're on
00:31:56last time around
00:31:57I couldn't even do basic energy control
00:31:59I 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
00:32:15to protect the people I love
00:32:23Aurora
00:32:26dad
00:32:26what are you doing here?
00:32:28had some business at the school
00:32:29thought I'd take you home
00:32:30last time
00:32:31you died right in front of me
00:32:32and there was nothing I could do
00:32:33that's never happening again
00:32:36okay
00:32:36what's going on with you today?
00:32:38nothing
00:32:39all right
00:32:40all right
00:32:40someone mess with you today?
00:32:42no
00:32:42I've just been thinking
00:32:44I'm done being at the bottom of the class
00:32:46I want to actually train
00:32:47get 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
00:33:04who is that?
00:33:07that's just some old guy
00:33:11why is he so friendly with Aurora?
00:33:14seriously?
00:33:15I've been wondering where all her money comes from
00:33:17guess that answers it
00:33:18she's got a sugar daddy
00:33:20that explains why Julian was never into her
00:33:27I made a bet with Julian
00:33:28score above 800 on the semester assessment
00:33:31whoever loses has to wear restraint rings
00:33:33I'll get you there
00:33:34and honestly your training's already showing
00:33:36I can feel it
00:33:38really?
00:33:39I figured you'd say 800 was way out of reach
00:33:41for someone like me
00:33:42you're not what they say you are
00:33:44your ability's been held back
00:33:46that's not the same thing as being weak
00:33:47he's right
00:33:49last time Julian chipped away at me bit by bit
00:33:51until I didn't even know what I was capable of anymore
00:33:55then I'm counting on you
00:33:57let's get to work
00:34:04again
00:34:06again
00:34:10again
00:34:12yes
00:34:17that's it
00:34:18okay we're moving to the next stage
00:34:20god
00:34:21he's actually excited about this
00:34:23this is literally first year stuff
00:34:30don't force it
00:34:31just guide it
00:34:36easy
00:34:37easy
00:34:38you've got it
00:34:43there it is
00:34:48take them all out
00:34:59okay
00:35:01wow
00:35:03you did it
00:35:05I did
00:35:08you've got a real shot at winning that bet now
00:35:12couldn't have gotten here without you
00:35:15I genuinely didn't think I could do this
00:35:17Leon is nothing like Julia
00:35:21he's incredible at what he does
00:35:23and he's still this patient and kind with me
00:35:27Julian just called me stupid
00:35:29and tricked me into wearing a bunch of green nullstone
00:35:32you know I've been thinking about it
00:35:34why was your ability stuck so low for so long
00:35:38it really feels like something was deliberately suppressing it
00:35:56finally here to grab your stuff from the basement
00:35:58make sure you get everything
00:36:00feeling pretty good about this bet huh
00:36:02Aurora
00:36:03you really think a new training partner is gonna be enough
00:36:06you're not gonna hit 800
00:36:08you never will
00:36:08you seem really sure about that
00:36:10admit it Aurora
00:36:11this is just another way for you to get my attention and you know it
00:36:15your attention
00:36:16right
00:36:17actually
00:36:18that reminds me of something
00:36:27take all of this with you two
00:36:29I don't want any of it
00:36:30I told you
00:36:31blue sapphire pieces are for stabilizing your ability
00:36:35surprise
00:36:36I ran a restoration technique on them
00:36:38every single one is nudstone
00:36:39all those times you call them stabilizers
00:36:41you were actually using them to drain me and keep me weak
00:36:44so I'd have no choice but to keep you around
00:36:46right
00:36:47that's why her ability was stuck this whole time
00:36:49it was you
00:36:50Julian that's fucked up
00:36:55I don't know what you two are going on about
00:36:57take your shit
00:36:58and get out
00:36:59was that clear enough
00:37:03next up is the port coordination test
00:37:05the rules are simple
00:37:06within the time limit
00:37:07help the workers move your assigned containers from the ship to the target zone
00:37:10quantity, speed, and placement stability all count towards your score
00:37:21now this is a test worth showing up for

00:41:32there's no way you improved that fast
00:41:35teacher
00:41:36aurora's improvement is too dramatic
00:41:38i'm requesting she be examined

00:41:41if not, shut your mouth
00:41:43otherwise i'll file a defamation complaint
00:41:46and you know what that means
00:41:47a dead last student like you?
00:41:49your old schools speak for themselves
00:41:51you are getting examined today
00:41:54right!
00:41:55she must have a cheat device on her
00:41:57search her
00:41:58if she didn't cheat
00:41:59what's she afraid of?
00:42:01fine

00:42:06especially you, Chloe
00:42:09why should i be checked?
00:42:10you're the one being reported
00:42:11burden of proof falls on the accuser
00:42:14you're claiming i cheated?
00:42:15fine
00:42:16i agree to a search
00:42:17but 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
00:42:32both 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
00:42:51you seem nervous
00:42:53you 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
00:43:11helping you complete the assessment
00:43:13isn't that right chloe?
00:43:15looks like the real cheater
00:43:16isn't who everyone thought
00:43:21that's an energy transfer device
00:43:23so aurora really did cheat
00:43:24she'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
00:43:38will be issued
00:43:39and her test scores are nullified
00:43:42if 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?
00:43:48given that a cheat device was involved during the test
00:43:51in the interest of fully settling this dispute
00:43:53aurora 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
00:44:09aurora
00:44:10serena
00:44:10begin
00:44:16that's serena for you

00:56:31julian
00:56:31a whole month of part-time work
00:56:33probably pays less than one day
00:56:35as aurora's private ability coach
00:56:36am i wrong?
00:56:37what are you saying?
00:56:38it's very simple
00:56:39what you need to do right now is
00:56:41go to aurora
00:56:42and ask her to hire you back as her coach
00:56:46i finally got free of that woman
00:56:47i just want to be with you now
00:56:48and you're telling me to go back and work for her?
00:56:50i'm thinking about you
00:56:52what you need most right now is money
00:56:55coaching her
00:56:56pays more than any odd job you could pick up outside
00:56:58and your dad's debt
00:56:59that has to be handled first, doesn't it?
00:57:01i don't want to do this
00:57:03what's the big deal?
00:57:04i'm just asking you to go earn money from her
00:57:06not to get back together we're with her
00:57:09you're broke
00:57:10if 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
00:57:17if you're too embarrassed to ask her yourself
00:57:20i'll go say it for you
00:57:22would she even take me back at this point?
00:57:25did you mean
00:57:26what you said earlier?
00:57:28which part?
00:57:31that you're the one
00:57:33pursuing me?
00:57:35yes
00:57:36it's always been true
00:57:39aurora
00:57:40i need to ask you something
00:57:43what is it?
00:57:44could you
00:57:45let julian continue as your ability coach?
00:57:48seriously?
00:57:49you interrupted my evening for
00:57:51this?
00:57:53julian is really struggling right now
00:57:54you've probably heard about his father
00:57:56your family has plenty of money
00:57:58and julian's ability is strong
00:57:59if you agree
00:58:00i promise he'll take the coaching seriously this time
00:58:02do 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
00:58:06and effectively support both of you?
00:58:09aurora
00:58:10i'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
00:58:30please don't
00:58:31then he'll turn around
00:58:33and say i forced you to leave him
00:58:35i get it aurora
00:58:36you're just still holding a grudge aren't you?
00:58:39stop pretending to know me
00:58:41let's talk about you serena
00:58:42you liked julian because he was the top student
00:58:45the school's heartthrob
00:58:47everyone's chosen heir
00:58:48now 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
00:59:12enough
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
00:59:24a good thing
00:59:25you love him

01:12:46and 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
01:12:51what
01:12:52julian's money was all from aurora
01:12:54he's not victor hale's chosen heir
01:12:55she's lying
01:12:56shut 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
01:13:02and stole my identity to lord it over all of you
01:13:07quiet
01:13:08everyone quiet
01:13:10enough
01:13:13victor hale
01:13:14the war hero
01:13:15doesn't he never appear in public
01:13:17i am disappointed
01:13:18since this school was founded i have emphasized only one thing
01:13:21peace
01:13:22peace is not words
01:13:24it is not applause in an auditorium while saying
01:13:26mutual 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
01:13:34anyone with no morals
01:13:36anyone who harms fellow students
01:13:38anyone who corrupts this school's culture
01:13:41should be expelled
01:13:42so let's follow your own rule
01:13:44aurora
01:13:45what are you still standing there for
01:13:46go pack your things and get out of this school
01:13:49you misunderstood

01:13:58the man you've been calling old and bold is me
01:14:01aurora is my one and only daughter
01:14:03aurora is actually victor hale's daughter
