00:14:11dad
00:14:12dad
00:14:30Aurora!
00:14:34Without 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.
00:15:12Leon, would you want to have dinner with me tonight? Just us?
00:15:17I...
00:15:20Yeah, 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. A lot more.
00:16:06Starting with... becoming my new coach.
00:16:08Shh.
00:16:10Are you serious? I...
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?
00:16:26I'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... wait, what?
00:16:39I said I already have a new coach.
00:16:43I don't need you anymore.
00:16:45You can go.
00:16:47You... what?
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.
00:17:02I know you're mad about me and Serena.
00:17:03But there's nothing going on.
00:17:05We're just friends.
00:17:06Sure.
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.
00:17:47Don't.
00:17:51Relax.
00:17:52Back up.
00:17:52She's not interested.
00:18:08Aurora?
00:18:10Aurora.
00:18:16Once that collar is on you can't take it off yourself.
00:18:18That'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.
00:18:36Not yet.
00:18:37Julian.
00:18:37What you owe me goes way beyond just my life.
00:18:40And I'm going to get every single piece of it back.
00:18:47You actually came back?
00:18:49A servant's daughter kicks the owner off his own airship 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.
00:19:12You're just one of the help.
00:19:14Okay, so let's get something straight.
00:19:16The real heir to the Hale estate is...
00:19:22Yeah?
00:19:23Who?
00:19:24Chloe, shut up.
00:19:28Perfect timing.
00:19:30Why don't you go ahead and clear that up?
00:19:32Right now, in front of everyone.
00:19:34Between the two of us, 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, 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.
00:20:24Julian 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.
00:20:49Last 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.
00:21:10Julian, tonight I'm going to give you a birthday you actually won't forget.
00:21:16You seriously showed up?
00:21:17Julian hasn't looked at you in days 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, it's your birthday.
00:21:37Honestly 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, 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.
00:21:50So, say that again.
00:21:52Who 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 going to hold any of this against you.
00:22:23You said you'd come celebrate, right?
00:22:25Everyone's here.
00:22:26Don't make me look bad.
00:22:27So this party really matters to you.
00:22:29If I tank your whole rich kid reputation tonight, that'd hurt worse than anything else I could do, wouldn't it?
00:22:35Alright then.
00:22:36Let's have some fun.
00:22:39Right, okay.
00:22:41It's your birthday, you 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 going to 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.
00:23:06Alright everyone, let'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, alright.
00:23:22I'm in.
00:23:23He's totally as good as well.
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 going to be absolutely worth all of it.
00:24:02If that guy hadn't showed up out of nowhere earlier.
00:24:06Okay, but who even is he?
00:24:07He's not nobody.
00:24:08Right?
00:24:09There's something about him.
00:24:10Aurora brought some guy to make me jealous?
00:24:13Please.
00:24:14I can barely look at her as it is.
00:24:16Just so you know,
00:24:18this one glass probably costs more than your mom makes in a year.
00:24:21Wow, that much?
00:24:22Hope 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.
00:24:30She's not wrong.
00:24:32I ordered more than enough.
00:24:33Help yourself.
00:24:34The guy you brought though,
00:24:36he'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 gonna charge him?
00:25:06He could have you fired right now.
00:25:08Yeah!
00:25:09Fire him!
00:25:09Miss,
00:25:10someone 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?
00:25:18Aurora?
00:25:19No way!
00:25:20This hotel is Julian's family's.
00:25:21Everyone knows that!
00:25:24Funny how that works.
00:25:27You book the fanciest room in the building,
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, come on, just cover it and we move on.
00:25:41Don't do this to me right now.
00:25:46Not really my problem, is it?
00:25:48The Stellar Hotel.
00:25:49That's your family's, right?
00:25:51It is.
00:25:52Can I borrow it tonight?
00:25:53What are you planning?
00:25:55I'm going to act like I'm spending money on Julian,
00:25:57but I won't actually pay.
00:25:59When 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.
00:26:09Everyone 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.
00:26:33Are you being serious right now?
00:26:36Julian?
00:26:38You're not actually going to...
00:26:40Not gonna do it?
00:26:43Fine.
00:26:44Leon, let's head out.
00:26:46Wait.
00:26:47Please.
00:26:56There we go.
00:26:59Manager, I've got the bill.
00:27:03Total, $8,600,000.
00:27:08Happy birthday, Julian.
00:27:10I'll cover it this time.
00:27:12But let's get one thing straight.
00:27:14I'm not here to bank vote 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.
00:27:59Looks like you've got something to handle.
00:28:01We can pick this up tomorrow.
00:28:02See ya.
00:28:03Bye.
00:28:07An apology, Carl?
00:28:09What exactly did he do that needs an apology?
00:28:11Miss Haley, come on.
00:28:12I heard you let him go as your coach?
00:28:14Yeah, 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.
00:28:24But 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.
00:29:12Carl.
00:29:14Don'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?
00:29:55Because I didn't pick you over Serena?
00:29:58The audacity to say that out loud.
00:30:01Incredible.
00:30:01Let 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.
00:30:13Right?
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 to people?
00:30:34And all that stuff about supporting me?
00:30:36That was a coaching fee you already owed!
00:30:39A coaching fee?
00:30:40Really?
00:30:42Since the day you started, all you did was spend my money, 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 ten laps
00:31:31around the school.
00:31:33What more do you want? Julian'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 ten 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.
00:32:00I wore Julian's collar and never made it anywhere near a battlefield.
00:32:12This time, I'm going to train until I'm strong enough to protect the people I love.
00:32:23Aurora
00:32:26Dad, what are you doing here?
00:32:28Had some business at the school, thought I'd take you home
00:32:31Last time, you died right in front of me and there was nothing I could do
00:32:34That's never happening again
00:32:36Okay, what's going on with you today?
00:32:38Nothing
00:32:40Alright, alright, someone mess with you today?
00:32:42No, I've just been thinking
00:32:45I'm done being at the bottom of the class
00:32:46I want to actually train, get my ability to where it should be
00:32:49Yeah? You mean that?
00:32:55That's what I'm talking about, that's my girl
00:33:05Wait, who is that?
00:33:08That's just some old guy
00:33:12Why is he so friendly with Aurora?
00:33:14Seriously?
00:33:15I've been wondering where all her money comes from
00:33:17Guess that answers it
00:33:18She's got a sugar daddy
00:33:21That explains why Julian was never into her
00:33:27I made a bet with Julian
00:33:29Score above 800 on the semester assessment
00:33:31Whoever loses has to wear restraint rings
00:33:33I'll get you there
00:33:34And honestly, your training's already showing, I can feel it
00:33:38Really?
00:33:40I figured you'd say 800 was way out of reach for someone like me
00:33:42You're not what they say you are
00:33:45Your ability's been held back, that'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
00:33:52Until I didn't even know what 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, that's it
00:34:18Okay, we're moving to the next stage
00:34:21God, he's actually excited about this
00:34:23This is literally first year stuff
00:34:30Don't force it
00:34:32Just guide it
00:34:37Easy
00:34:38Easy
00:34:38You've got it
00:34:44There it is
00:34:48Take them all out
00:34:59Okay
00:35:01Wow
00:35:04You did it
00:35:05I did
00:35:09You'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 millstone
00:35:33You know, I've been thinking about it
00:35:35Why was your ability stuck so low for so long?
00:35:38It really feels like something was deliberately suppressing it
00:35:56Finally here to grab your stuff from the basement
00:35:59Make sure you get everything
00:36:01Feeling pretty good about this bet, huh, Aurora?
00:36:04You 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
00:36:14And you know it
00:36:16Your attention
00:36:17Right
00:36:18Actually
00:36:19That reminds me of something
00:36:27Take all of this with you, too
00:36:29I don't want any of it
00:36:30I told you
00:36:32Blue sapphire pieces are for stabilizing your ability
00:36:36Surprise!
00:36:36I ran a restoration technique on them
00:36:38Every single one is nudstone
00:36:40All those times you called them stabilizers
00:36:42You were actually using them to drain me and keep me weak
00:36:44So I'd have no choice but to keep you around
00:36:46Right?
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
00:36:59And get out
00:37:00Was that clear enough?
00:37:03Next up is the port coordination test
00:37:05The rules are simple
00:37:07Within the time limit
00:37:08Help the workers move your assigned containers
00:37:09From the ship to the target zone
00:37:11Quantity, speed, and placement stability
00:37:13All count towards your score
00:37:22Now this is a test worth showing up for
00:37:32That's insane!
00:37:34That's Chloe for you
00:37:55What is she doing?
00:37:57She hasn't moved a single one
00:37:59What?
00:38:00Already lost control?
00:38:02Called it
00:38:02She's the same as always
00:38:04Showing up to embarrass herself in front of everyone
00:38:07Honestly
00:38:08Kind of sad
00:38:15You look completely lost
00:38:17Let me help
00:38:26She 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
00:38:49No
00:38:50She'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
00:39:19That container is filled with liquid stellar core fuel
00:39:23It has to be stored upright
00:39:24You flipped it in the rush
00:39:2530 more seconds and the whole dock goes up
00:39:28She's right!
00:39:29The alarm was already going off!
00:39:34No!
00:39:37That can't be right
00:39:38Aurora Hale
00:39:40Complete
00:39:41Zero error
00:39:42Zero risk
00:39:42Hyatt grade
00:39:45So
00:39:46How'd that go for everyone?
00:39:49Aurora's score for the park ordination test is
00:39:52Perfect!
00:39:54Who's building a grid this whole time?
00:39:56She had every single target locked from the start
00:39:58That's not possible
00:39:59How did she just
00:39:59Well
00:40:01Isn'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
00:40:17Serena Vail
00:40:18Serena only third?
00:40:20Then who's second?
00:40:21Second place
00:40:22Julian Cross
00:40:23How?
00:40:25Julian's always first
00:40:26I'm not finished
00:40:29First place overall
00:40:33Aurora Hale
00:40:35Composite grade
00:40:36A percent
00:40:38What?
00:40:41Aurora is first?
00:40:42She actually got an A plus
00:40:46Catch that?
00:40:48A plus
00:40:49Top of the class
00:40:52I won
00:40:56Julian
00:40:57A bet's a bet
00:40:59Bra
00:40:59Skirt
00:41:00Energy restraint rings
00:41:01Ten 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
00:41:15Don't tell me you can't take a loss
00:41:17Aurora
00:41:18We're all classmates
00:41:19Do you have to take it this far?
00:41:21If you feel so bad for him
00:41:23Feel free to take the punishment in his place
00:41:24You
00:41:25You know what?
00:41:26I think you cheated
00:41:27You used to be that bad
00:41:29And lately you've been cozying up to that old man
00:41:31When did you even have time to train?
00:41:33There's no way you improved that fast
00:41:35Teacher
00:41:37Aurora's improvement is too dramatic
00:41:38I'm requesting she be examined
00:41:40Do you have evidence?
00:41:41If not, shut your mouth
00:41:44Otherwise I'll file a defamation complaint
00:41:46And you know what that means
00:41:47A 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
00:42:00What's she afraid of?
00:42:01Fine
00:42:01You want to check me?
00:42:03Go ahead
00:42:04But then everyone who tested in the same session gets checked too
00:42:07Especially you, Chloe
00:42:09Why should I be checked?
00:42:11You'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
00:42:21Otherwise
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
00:42:38Now 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!
00:43:03I 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
00:43:21That'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
00:43:35What?
00:43:35It was Chloe?
00:43:36Nullified?
00:43:37Can she even graduate?
00:43:38A 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
00:44:01The 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, begin
00:44:17That's Serena for you
00:44:18So precise
00:44:20So elegant
00:44:26I told you
00:44:28She has no idea what she's doing
00:44:30She's always been good at one thing
00:44:32Messing up
00:44:40I'd quit now if I were you
00:44:55Serena, point deducted
00:45:23Serena, point deducted
00:45:25Serena, point deducted
00:45:27How is this possible?
00:45:31The result of this test?
00:45:33Aurora wins
00:45:34Her performance speaks for itself
00:45:36No cheating involved
00:45:41Now, should we talk about our bet?
00:45:48Retest is done
00:45:49I didn't cheat
00:45:50Time to settle the bet
00:45:51It's just one test
00:45:53Do you have to be this relentless about it?
00:45:55Relentless?
00:45:56You're the ones who accused me of cheating
00:45:58And then got caught cheating yourselves
00:45:59And now you won't pay up?
00:46:01Julian
00:46:02Bra and skirt
00:46:03Energy restraint rings
00:46:0415 burpees in front of the whole school
00:46:06Then 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
00:46:19But 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
00:46:31I'll allow it
00:46:32You can run his 10 laps for him
00:46:3410 laps?
00:46:36I'll die!
00:46:36Chloe, you're the one who started all of this
00:46:38Julian got dragged into it trying to protect everyone
00:46:41You want to make it easier on him, don't you?
00:46:43I-I-I go
00:46:45Or I won't hesitate to expose every time
00:46:47I 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
00:47:24We 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
00:47:34Suddenly 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?
00:47:59Aurora?
00:47:59Aurora?
00:48:01Aurora?
00:48:17Why aren't you in the training room?
00:48:19Training's on hold tonight
00:48:20On hold?
00:48:22Because tonight
00:48:23I'm celebrating your birthday
00:48:26How did you know?
00:48:34That's
00:48:40Leo, isn't it?
00:48:43Beautiful
00:48:44And perfect control
00:48:49You can actually do this now
00:48:52Congratulations
00:48:52I mean it
00:48:53Congratulations
00:48:54This is
00:48:56The best gift I've ever received
00:49:00Then I need you to promise me something
00:49:02Anything
00:49:03Tomorrow
00:49:04All our classmates are going to the beach
00:49:07Will you come?
00:49:24Got another one!
00:49:27Aurora?
00:49:28Why is it always her?
00:49:30Don't lose your nerve
00:49:31Win it back
00:49:38Her ability is so unfair!
00:49:40Just a harmless little current
00:49:42It won't hurt you
00:49:43Feel free to use your light whip
00:49:44If you want
00:49:47Again!
00:49:50Put away that useless whip!
00:49:52You can't manage your ability
00:49:53And 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!
00:50:20That's fast!
00:50:22You okay?
00:50:29Who is he?
00:50:30He's gorgeous!
00:50:32This scene!
00:50:33I can barely breathe!
00:50:37I'm fine
00:50:40Let me handle him
00:50:48He's unreal!
00:50:50How does Aurora know
00:50:51Someone like him?
00:51:03How is anyone supposed to return that?
00:51:13That easy?
00:51:25He returned all of them?
00:51:27How is that possible?
00:51:30Julian's speed
00:51:31Looks like child's play
00:51:33Next to him
00:51:43His rhythm is breaking down
00:51:45Opening
00:51:46On the left
00:51:55Aurora
00:52:09They won?
00:52:10That was brutal
00:52:11You were incredible
00:52:13Your reaction was fast enough too
00:52:15Really?
00:52:21They are so in sync!
00:52:24That last move!
00:52:26Aurora
00:52:27Drop the act
00:52:29Everything you have
00:52:30You won it because of a man
00:52:31Didn't you?
00:52:34Who was that old man
00:52:36Who picked you up at school every day?
00:52:38Did you think no one noticed?
00:52:40Shut up
00:52:40Sir, I'm saying this for your own good
00:52:42Don't be fooled by her
00:52:43She's not as innocent as she looks
00:52:45She's just a servant's daughter
00:52:46Who's happy to let some old guy
00:52:47Pay her way
00:52:50You actually hit me?
00:52:52Say it again
00:52:53Go ahead
00:52:54You 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
00:53:07Being taken advantage of
00:53:08We were just reminding her
00:53:09As friends
00:53:11Your idea of reminding her
00:53:13Is spreading filthy lies about her?
00:53:14But
00:53:15Isn't she the one chasing you?
00:53:17The more you know about her situation
00:53:19The better
00:53:21Let me clarify
00:53:21Aurora
00:53:22Is 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
00:53:39Done performing?
00:53:41You were nothing but a simp
00:53:42The whole school saw how you chased me
00:53:43Now you lash into someone new
00:53:45And pretend you're above it all?
00:53:47You think I can't see through this?
00:53:48You just want to make me jealous
00:53:50Fine
00:53:51I'll give you a chance
00:53:52Come back now
00:53:53And I'll consider making you my girlfriend
00:53:56Julian
00:53:56You 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
00:54:08And 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
00:54:44I just feel a little beaten down
00:54:46She has that older man protecting her
00:54:48And now she has someone like Leon at her side
00:54:51No matter what I do
00:54:52I just can't measure up to her
00:54:54Oh stop
00:54:55Someone like Aurora doesn't compare to you
00:54:58Come on
00:54:59We've been playing for hours
00:55:00You must be hungry
00:55:01Tonight, whatever you want
00:55:02My treat
00:55:03Really?
00:55:04Of course
00:55:05Go ahead
00:55:07I'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
00:55:39Payment decline
00:55:40Insufficient funds
00:55:43Try again
00:55:43Payment decline
00:55:44Insufficient funds
00:55:45Can'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
00:55:50Would you like to try a different payment method?
00:55:54Dad
00:55:55What happened to the money in my account?
00:55:56I needed it
00:55:57So I moved it
00:55:58Did you gamble it away again?
00:56:00Shut your mouth
00:56:01You don't get to lecture me
00:56:02By the way
00:56:03You're on your own for next year's tuition
00:56:05So he's broke
00:56:06Showing off like that
00:56:08And now no one's here to bail him out
00:56:09I see now
00:56:10You're not a rich heir at all
00:56:11The 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
00:56:19You finish up
00:56:21Serena
00:56:22Let me explain
00:56:24The 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
00:56:35As Aurora's private ability coach
00:56:37Am I wrong?
00:56:38What are you saying?
00:56:39It's very simple
00:56:40What you need to do right now is
00:56:42Go to Aurora
00:56:43And ask her to hire you back as her coach
00:56:46I finally got free of that woman
00:56:48I 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
00:56:51About you
00:56:52What you need most right now
00:56:54Is money
00:56:55Coaching her
00:56:56Pays more than any odd job
00:56:57You could pick up outside
00:56:58And your dad's debt
00:56:59That has to be handled first
00:57:01Doesn'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
00:57:07We'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 her yourself
00:57:20I'll go say it for you
00:57:22Would she even
00:57:23Take 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?
00:57:45Could you
00:57:45Let Julian
00:57:46Continue as your ability coach?
00:57:48Seriously?
00:57:50You interrupted my evening
00:57:51For
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
00:57:59If you agree
00:58:00I promise he'll take the coaching seriously this time
00:58:03Do you think I'm stupid?
00:58:04The two of you are together now
00:58:05And you want me to pay him a salary
00:58:07And effectively support both of you?
00:58:09Aurora
00:58:11I'm willing to forgive everything you've done
00:58:12From 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
00:59:24A good thing?
00:59:25You love him
00:59:26After all
00:59:28Keep your charity
00:59:30I don't collect garbage
00:59:33Aurora
00:59:33Enough
00:59:35Stop going after Serena
00:59:39You got sold out
00:59:40And you're still counting the money for them
00:59:42What did you say?
00:59:42Serena thinks you're broke
00:59:43Thinks you're a burden
00:59:44Thinks your dad is an embarrassment
00:59:46And she's putting on this whole act of self-sacrifice
00:59:48While pushing you back at me
00:59:50And you're still defending her?
00:59:51Julian
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
01:00:08Is 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
01:00:44Precision control
01:00:45Sustained output
01:00:45And 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
01:00:55I 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
01:01:03I 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?
01:01:38You're going to hold a little money against your own father?
01:01:40That was my tuition for Nexi My Sister
01:01:42Tuition?
01:01:43When you were living at the Hale Estate
01:01:45You never once asked me for tuition money
01:01:47When you were with Aurora
01:01:48You were bringing home cash
01:01:50Hand over win
01:01:50You remember how we lived?
01:01:52And now
01:01:53You 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'd 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
01:02:25Just 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?
01:02:42Drop the act Carl
01:02:44Boys
01:02:45Beat them both
01:02:46Stop!
01:02:48Stop!
01:02:49Stop!
01:02:53Stop hitting!
01:02:54You're going to kill us!
01:02:57Can't pay your debts?
01:02:58This is what you deserve
01:02:59I have a plan
01:03:00There's a rich iress who's crazy about my son
01:03:02Her father is Victor Hall
01:03:03Three million, five million
01:03:04It's nothing to her
01:03:05Is that right?
01:03:05If my son is in trouble
01:03:06She'll pay
01:03:07She always does
01:03:08Fine
01:03:08Tomorrow at noon
01:03:09If I don't see three million
01:03:10I kill your son
01:03:12Miss Hale!
01:03:13St. Julian
01:03:14He's been taken
01:03:14The kidnappers want three million
01:03:16Kidnappers?
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
01:03:36Missing an arm or a leg
01:03:37That might actually be fun
01:03:39He's your son
01:03:40Not mine
01:03:41The Hale family 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
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
01:04:38Stop it
01:04:41Keep going
01:04:43Stop
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
01:04:59Aurora
01:05:01Help me
01:05:02What if you cripple him?
01:05:03What if you ruin his face?
01:05:04You're so cruel, really stop
01:05:08How do I know you're actually trying to save him
01:05:10And not just stall him?
01:05:12Boys
01:05:12Wait 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
01:05:21To one ten thousandth of what I suffered in my past life
01:05:28Aurora
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
01:05:37Luckily 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
01:05:42That 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
01:06:38What 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 a thousand times worse
01:06:54I gave you everything
01:06:56And you stepped on me and 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
01:07:06I admit there was something between Serena and me before
01:07:09But since I cleared the air with you
01:07:11I've been serious
01:07:13Why can't you just
01:07:14Get off me!
01:07:16You 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
01:07:59I 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
01:08:19But 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
01:08:34Everything was better
01:08:36Once the graduation ceremony is over
01:08:38I'll tell you the rest of the story
01:08:40Good
01:08:40I'll wait
01:08:42Oh
01:08:43You'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
01:09:32And 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
01:10:39Look 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
01:10:46What right does she have to represent us?
01:10:50So it's actually true
01:10:51She really is being kept by some old man
01:10:53Aurora
01:10:54Your 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
01:11:05I'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
01:11:18Are you going to deny it?
01:11:20You're not wrong
01:11:20He 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
01:11:41Is there a problem with that?
01:11:43Are we not allowed to tell the truth now?
01:11:47Aurora
01:11:47You 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, expel her
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
01:12:03You must know
01:12:04Julian
01:12:05I'm giving you one last chance
01:12:08You 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
01:12:43Lived 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
01:13:01Who wormed his way into the Hale estate
01:13:03And stole my identity to lord it over all of you
01:13:09Quiet! 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?
01:13:37Anyone 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
01:14:15It'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
01:14:39You'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
01:14:54The 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
01:15:08Once, I was a step too late
01:15:10That won't happen again
01:15:12Aurora, Hale, will you marry me?
01:15:17Leon, in my past life
01:15:18If I could do it all over again
01:15:20I'd choose you
01:15:21I would
01:15:22In my past life
01:15:23I 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
01:15:38I'll let you pass for now
01:15:39Don't you dare let my daughter suffer
01:15:41I promise
01:15:56I'll let you pass for now
01:15:56I'll let you pass for now
01:15:56I'll let you pass for now
01:15:56I'll let you pass for now
01:15:56I'll let you pass for now
01:15:57I'll let you pass for now
01:15:57I'll let you pass for now
01:15:58You
