Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm nearsighted as hell, and I come to a school that trains Gloomspawn. I was just looking for my cousin,
00:04but some jerk stepped on my glasses.
00:07Why is this guy in such a rush? Great. Now everything's a blur. What was her village called again?
00:14Blissvale. That's it. So that should be left. And that's how I ended up in the wrong place. A village
00:19full of Gloomspawn.
00:21Excuse me. Evening everyone.
00:23A human? A living person would have been scared to death. But he's not even scared. Look at that smile.
00:31That kid looks way too human. Could he be some legendary Gloomspawn?
00:35Hi, I'm Finn Jackson. Does Raya Jackson live here? I'm her cousin.
00:38Raya Jackson? Never heard that name.
00:41Is he talk about Rina?
00:42Raya? Yeah, yeah, that's her. My little cousin. I came looking for Raya, but there's a Rina in this village.
00:47What a mistake.
00:49Oh, cousin Raya! I finally found you!
00:55I've been dead for a hundred years. Since when do I have a cousin?
01:00Cousin? In my memories, it's either killing or dead ghost.
01:05Since when did I have a cousin? Have I killed so many people that I actually forgot a whole chunk
01:11of my life?
01:12Anyway, why are your hands so cold? You catch a cold or something, and you look paler than I remember.
01:17Is the food here that bad? Are you anemic?
01:19Holy crap! He actually touched Rina's hand. That bitch is known for being ruthless.
01:24What are you doing here?
01:25To study. My aunt said I should come keep you company and enroll at the village school. Where's the principal?
01:30Hello, principal. I'm Finn Jackson. Just got to town. My parents should have given you a heads up. I'm here
01:35to transfer in.
01:36Your parents spoke to me before. Is he some hidden ghost king's bastard? How come I don't remember that?
01:45Yeah, look. I even brought my luggage.
01:48Ah ha ha! Right, right! Now I remember. Of course I do. Mr. Jackson, welcome. What an honor.
01:53Rina, take him to the Blackwood dorms.
01:55Then my glasses got crushed. Now I can't tell people past three feet. These dorms are something. Full enclosure pod
02:02beds like a spaceship. Way better than bunk beds.
02:05It's actually a human.
02:08You idiot! Rina brought him to check in herself.
02:12Rina?
02:16She's the village bully Gloomspawn. She beats up anyone she doesn't like.
02:24How can he not smell even a hint of fear? This guy has to be some kind of undercover Gloomspawn.
02:29A big shots bastard ghost.
02:31We're all dorm buddies now. I'm Finn Jackson. What should I call you guys?
02:35Just call me Bear.
02:36I'm Lanky.
02:37Hey Jackson, I'm Wisp.
02:39Oh, right guys. My glasses got crushed. Is there a place near here to get glasses made? Or does anyone
02:45have a spare pair I could borrow?
02:49Jackson, I've actually got a pair. They were, uh, left behind by a senior. Pretty strong prescription, I think.
03:00Thank you so much. You're a lifesaver.
03:08Ah, no good. These are like 200 degrees tops.
03:11I'm at 1500, plus astigmatism. Forget it. I'll just order online.
03:16Alright guys, good night. Sleepy time.
03:20Sleep Jackson, are you kidding me? Get up. We've got class.
03:24Show up late and you lose your head.
03:26Class, it's midnight. So this school runs on night shift?
03:29Obviously. Who holds class in broad daylight? Move.
03:33First periods with the homeroom teacher. He's got a terrible temper. If you're late, you're dead.
03:37This school's rules are totally anti-human.
03:45So with my severe nearsightedness, everyone past three feet is just a blur. I can't tell anyone apart.
03:51Hello teacher. Hello everyone. I'm Finn, the new transfer student.
03:56I broke my glasses. And I always thought these were just regular human.
04:01Finn Jackson, right? Then let's begin class. Today's lesson is manifesting fear and terror.
04:07Fear? What kind of class is that? Some kind of acting workshop?
04:10Come up one by one and show us.
04:23Not bad. Strong resentment.
04:25These Gloomspawn are showing their horror tricks.
04:28And I thought it was just their acting style.
04:32This man, I always thought he was wearing a helmet mask.
04:46You've all learned the performance well.
04:48Newbie, you're the only one left.
04:51Ma'am, what am I supposed to do? I don't have any props.
04:53You won't need props. Just show us what you think is the most terrifying thing in this world.
04:59The most terrifying thing? Wouldn't that be...
05:02Ma'am, I'm ready.
05:06Guys, what I'm about to show you is what jolts me awake every night.
05:12My ultimate nightmare.
05:19Empty? An empty wallet? No, absolutely terrifying.
05:23It really is. So he's the legendary Papa Gloomspawn.
05:27If... if I didn't have a single Gloom Mark left, then...
05:32That hit straight to my soul.
05:34That's way too scary for a Gloomspawn.
05:36Who is this kid anyway?
05:38He doesn't seem like a Gloomspawn at all.
05:41But the principal just approved his transfer.
05:44Strange. He must have some backing.
05:48Enough! Silence!
05:49Finn Jackson, that was... unique.
05:51Take your seat.
05:52Thank you, ma'am.
05:53They say those e-wallets are even worse.
05:55Balance is always in the red.
05:57All right, that's it for today's quiz.
06:01Now I have an announcement.
06:02Tomorrow night, a group of humans will be dragged into our territory by force.
06:07At that time, the rule curse will descend on Styx Vocational Academy.
06:13But everyone, you must obey the absolute rules.
06:17Play your parts.
06:18Anyone who disobeys the rules, you know what happens.
06:22Rule curse?
06:23What kind of class is that?
06:25What? Where am I?
06:26I was just on the morning rush hour train.
06:28Oh my god.
06:29I... I heard the system voice.
06:31Some kind of rule curse.
06:32What the hell is going on?
06:34Oh no. I'm screwed.
06:35I've seen this in novels before.
06:37If you get picked and don't follow the rules, the Gloomspawn will tear you apart.
06:42Everyone shut up!
06:43That fat guy's right.
06:44We are indeed the ones chosen for this rule curse game.
06:47I'm Ray Zane, and this is my third run.
06:49Listen, in this hellhole, one tiny mistake gets you killed.
06:52Nobody wander off.
06:54Keep your voices down, and don't touch anything.
06:56Danger's everywhere.
06:57La la la.
06:58Ah, nothing beats that fresh country air.
07:01Why is there not a soul in this village?
07:03Guess they're all used to nightlife.
07:06That's a pretty young person's schedule.
07:08Mr. Zane, sir.
07:09There's someone over there.
07:11What... what is he doing?
07:13He's insane.
07:13He's gonna draw every monster here.
07:15Quiet.
07:16He's definitely not a normal human.
07:17In this rule curse, someone who strolls around is one of two things.
07:20Either he's a Gloomspawn, or he's a player strong enough to ignore the system.
07:23Either way, we can't mess with him.
07:25Ray, that guy looks pretty normal.
07:27Maybe we should go ask him.
07:28Maybe he knows something.
07:29You wanna die?
07:30This is an S-rank curse.
07:31More human-looking means more danger.
07:33You don't even know if he's Gloomspawn bait.
07:35Walking over there is suicide.
07:37Remember, the system just gave us our initial roles.
07:39From now on, we stick to the rules.
07:41No exceptions.
07:42Do not do anything that doesn't fit your role.
07:44Tonight, we check in at the school.
07:45In the daytime, we do not leave this safe zone.
07:52This place is full of monsters.
07:54They could tear me apart any second.
07:57Ray, look.
07:58It's that guy from the plaza earlier.
08:00What's he doing here?
08:01Is he in this curse too?
08:02He looks way too human.
08:04Could he be a top player on our side?
08:05Not sure.
08:06Let's not act rashly.
08:07We'll feel him out first.
08:10Class begins.
08:11Stix Academy student code.
08:13Rule 1, keep quiet during class.
08:14Rule 2, under no circumstances are you to leave the classroom during class time.
08:18Ma'am, excuse me.
08:19Sorry about this.
08:20My stomach's killing me.
08:22May I use the restroom?
08:23Holy crap, what is he doing?
08:24Rule 2 clearly says you can't leave during class.
08:26Wait, is that rule fake?
08:27A trap?
08:28He's doing it on purpose.
08:29To test the limits of the kill rules.
08:31Only top-tier players who know the core logic and carry a ton of life-saving items would dare a
08:35suicidal probe this early.
08:40Go ahead.
08:41Just be quick, Finn Jackson.
08:42He, he actually walked out.
08:45So rule 2 in the student code, was it fake all along?
08:49With a valid reason like a bathroom break, you can leave the classroom safely.
08:52Damn, that takes guts.
08:54Ha, isn't it obvious?
08:55You rookies don't get it, do you?
08:56That guy, he's playing dumb on purpose.
08:58He tricked the system's rule judgment.
09:00But even if he fooled the teacher, it's pitch black out there.
09:02This place is crawling with danger.
09:04What can he even do out there?
09:05Isn't that just suicide?
09:06Haven't you noticed?
09:08Right now, in this horror school, most of the dangerous gloom spawn are trapped in class.
09:12This is the perfect time to explore the areas, outside the classrooms.
09:15It's the only window in the entire run where no monsters.
09:18If he uses this time to find key escape clues and survival items, he can dominate this whole S-rank
09:22run.
09:23I shouldn't have eaten so much.
09:28I thought you Easterners were all spineless fools.
09:31Didn't expect there'd actually be a smart one.
09:32He found the loophole in the rules.
09:34Ma'am, I need to use the restroom, too!
09:36You want to leave the classroom during class time?
09:40Yes.
09:41I need to use the restroom.
09:44You dare skip my class?
09:46And you dare act up in my classroom?
09:49No, no, why?
09:50That kid got away with it.
09:58How is this possible?
10:00That dude walked out just fine, but this foreigner said the exact same thing and got killed right away.
10:04That guy just now?
10:05He must have used some super rare god-tier item.
10:08And this idiot thought he could do it, too.
10:15Bro, hey you.
10:17How did you get out?
10:18How did you do it?
10:19Huh?
10:19You mean, to the restroom?
10:20What's so hard about that?
10:21Just tell the teacher, ask for permission.
10:23That's it.
10:23Are you new transfer students?
10:24Didn't hear your voice yesterday.
10:26Yeah, yeah, we just got dumped into this class.
10:28Man, we don't know the rules.
10:29Please give us some guidance.
10:31Same here.
10:31I'm new here.
10:32I barely know anyone.
10:33Plus my glasses got crushed before, so I can't even tell anyone.
10:36So?
10:36How are you still alive around Gloom Spawn?
10:39Gloom?
10:39What?
10:40The curse!
10:40The Gloom Spawn!
10:41You're just confusing me.
10:43Dude, don't tell me you don't know this place is full of Gloom Spawn!
10:47Dude, what the hell?
10:48Gloom what?
10:49Are you dreaming or something?
10:50Wait, are you really that nearsighted?
10:52Like you literally can't see anything?
10:54I am 1500 degrees with severe astigmatism.
10:57Dude, what a coincidence.
10:59We've got someone in our group who's also 1500 degrees nearsighted.
11:03Put on his glasses and you'll get what I mean.
11:15No talking in class.
11:17Pay attention.
11:31Next!
11:32If you can't finish it, I'll chop you up.
11:35Evening, ma'am.
11:36Give me extra meat.
11:37Night school's been frying my brain.
11:39Sure thing, sweetie.
11:40Growing boys need their fuel.
11:42You should eat more.
11:45Hi, ma'am.
11:46I...
11:47I don't eat much.
11:48Just a tiny bit for me.
11:49Like, a tiny bit?
11:51Thanks.
11:52What's wrong?
11:52Just a little?
11:54You saying my cooking's no good?
12:02When I saw Jackson getting food just now,
12:04I thought we'd run into a nice gloom spawn.
12:07Turns out they treat us and him completely differently.
12:11Please load me up too.
12:13A big heaping scoop.
12:15Thanks, ma'am.
12:15If you don't finish it, I'll chop you up anyway.
12:21How do I eat this?
12:23This isn't even human food.
12:24Can I just skip it?
12:25Didn't you read the cafeteria rules?
12:27You absolutely cannot leave food behind.
12:29And if we don't refuel, we won't even have the energy to run later.
12:32Jackson, how do you even swallow this stuff?
12:35Well, it is a bit fishy.
12:36And the meat's kinda tough.
12:38But maybe that's just the local taste.
12:40In my hometown, we've got blood sausage.
12:42Takes a while to get used to, right?
12:48Cousin!
12:55Cousin!
12:56Cousin!
12:57Cousin?
12:57This guy is that gloom spawn's cousin.
13:00Probably just a role the system assigned him.
13:02Cousin, you need something?
13:04No, I'm here for them.
13:06Hey there, what can we do for you?
13:08Next period is P.
13:09The coach wants you new transfers to grab the basketballs from the equipment room on B1.
13:16What do we do now?
13:17Gloom spawn don't give you chores for no reason.
13:19It must be a death trap.
13:21Can't we just not go?
13:22Say we couldn't find it.
13:24No way.
13:25Once a gloom spawn gives you a direct order, the forced side quest rule kicks in.
13:30Lucian is right.
13:31We've got no choice.
13:32Since we can't avoid it, let's just be careful.
13:35Stick together and check it out.
13:36Hey man, I'm Lucian Chase.
13:37What's your name?
13:38I'm Finn.
13:39You're a new transfer too, right?
13:40Finn, my man.
13:41We just got here.
13:42And we don't know this place yet.
13:44So, uh, could you come with us to grab the basketballs?
13:47Sure.
13:47We're classmates.
13:48Happy to help.
13:55This is a terrifying multiple choice test.
13:58Only a very small number.
13:59Maybe just one of these heads is safe.
14:00Pick the wrong one.
14:01And you'll trigger the curse.
14:03And it bites back fast.
14:06This ball's no good.
14:07It's flat.
14:08Won't even bounce.
14:09Feels awful.
14:17Jackson, easy, easy.
14:23These balls are cheap junk.
14:25Probably been sitting here forever.
14:27Whatever.
14:28We'll make do.
14:30Come on, boys.
14:31Class time.
14:32Today's lesson, basketball showdown.
14:35Find your teammates now.
14:37Get ready.
14:38Go.
14:39Lucian, how the hell are we supposed to play?
14:41That's not even basketball.
14:43They're gonna kick us like the ball.
14:45I barely can see anything clearly.
14:48Cause wanna team up later?
14:50Sure.
14:52Rumi, come with us.
14:53That makes three of us.
14:54Me?
14:55You can actually team up with Gloomspawn?
14:58First match.
14:59Transfers versus the Devils.
15:01Wait here a sec.
15:02I'm gonna grab some water there.
15:07What's up?
15:08How long are you gonna keep playing dumb?
15:10Hey, what are you doing?
15:11Back off.
15:12Let's talk this out.
15:13What are you hiding?
15:14Why do you act like this place is your backyard?
15:16Tell me now.
15:18I don't know what you're talking about.
15:19He's got a hidden item.
15:21Make him hand it over.
15:22Still acting?
15:23You watch us walk to our depths?
15:25And you just stand there?
15:27If you won't save us...
15:29Then don't blame me for what happens next!
15:33You guys...
15:34What are you doing?
15:36Nothing!
15:37We...
15:38We're just chatting.
15:42Cousin Finn, you...
15:43Are you okay?
15:44Yeah, yeah, all good.
15:45Maybe it's a language barrier.
15:47Kids these days, they've got it rough.
15:50The first match begins!
15:56Doodoo!
16:16How do we fight this?
16:18I don't know.
16:22I don't know.
16:25Good, nice reverse hook.
16:29This round goes to the devils.
16:34I was getting water over there, and I heard you all from here.
16:38Everyone was screaming their lungs out.
16:40Must have been one hell of a game.
16:50With my myopia, I thought the PE coach was just some muscular guy who liked wearing wing accessories.
16:57I'm up next. Let's go, Rena. Twist.
17:12Let's catch!
17:23You're amazing! Didn't know you were that athletic.
17:28He's touching her head? Is he asking for death?
17:37What?
17:42Hey, you're way too strong.
17:44Dribble all you want, don't bump anyone.
17:54You want to touch my cousin?
17:57None of your damn business. I kill whoever I want.
18:00This Gloomspawn is actually picking a fight for the humans.
18:04What kind of plot twist is this?
18:12You want to fight?
18:14Bring it on!
18:15Let's see today just how tough their so-called queen really is.
18:27Since you're asking for it,
18:29I'll grant your wish.
18:31I owe you a win.
19:01I owe you a hundredPawn.
19:03My turn.
19:37Stop, stop, stop.
19:38We're all classmates.
19:40It's just a game.
19:40No need to throw hands.
19:45It's fine, Finn.
19:46We already made up.
19:51That's more like it.
19:52Now that's how classmates should act.
19:54Alright, let's keep playing.
19:56Am I dreaming?
19:58Game's already started.
20:00They're still not up.
20:01Ignore them.
20:02They're exhausted.
20:03They need rest.
20:05Man, without my glasses, I'm useless.
20:08I aimed that perfectly.
20:10How'd I miss?
20:11Can't even see the hoop.
20:12How am I supposed to play like this?
20:15Hey!
20:16Does anyone have glasses stronger than 1,000?
20:19I'm seriously nearsighted.
20:21My new pair hasn't arrived yet.
20:23I'll give them back right after the game.
20:25I won't damage them.
20:26I have...
20:26I've got a pair.
20:28My 1,500 backup pair.
20:29Now that's what I call a team player.
20:31Thank you so much.
20:33I owe you this time.
20:42Because of my bad vision,
20:43I can never see what's going on around me.
20:50Then that classmate, he threw something at me.
20:53And my glasses got wrecked again.
20:58Seriously?
20:59My glasses are busted again!
21:01Sorry about that.
21:02How much were these glasses?
21:04I'll pay you back.
21:05N-No, it's fine.
21:06But my cousins got angry.
21:07Big consequences.
21:19Game over!
21:20Team Finn Jackson wins!
21:22Yes, we won!
21:23Nice one, Kaz!
21:24We did it!
21:26Here.
21:26I've got a reward for you.
21:29I brought it from home.
21:31You did so well earlier.
21:32It's yours.
21:44Oh, God.
21:45You like it?
21:46Awesome!
21:46I've got chips, beef jerky, and chocolate.
21:49You burned a ton of energy on the court.
21:50It's all yours.
21:51Eat up!
21:52You're so skinny.
21:53You need some meat on those bones.
21:54Put on some weight.
21:55Those three thought they were in the clear, but Rina was waiting for them.
22:01You're hurt.
22:02Come with me to the nurse's office.
22:07The-the nurse's office?
22:09Damn it!
22:09That place is definitely not normal.
22:11We have to go.
22:12Rule 7 spells it out.
22:14Anyone injured must go to the nurse.
22:15Fine.
22:16Let's get meds.
22:16If anything feels off, run.
22:19Rina leads the three foreign students to the Gloomspawn nurse's office.
22:26Here it is.
22:28Do we really have to go in?
22:31Can we please not go in?
22:35Get inside.
22:37Or die out here.
22:38Not sure if it's because these three crossed me earlier, but Rina doesn't seem to want to
22:42let them off.
22:43But because of the rules, she didn't kill them outright, so she's using the rules instead.
22:48The three are now trapped inside the nurse's office.
22:50If they want to get out, they must find a way out.
22:53That's their only shot.
22:56They search the office and find a door left open.
22:58They walk in and see a doctor.
23:02Again.
23:03Three fresh patients?
23:05Doctor, please.
23:06We're fine.
23:07Really.
23:07Just a few scratches.
23:08The bleeding stopped.
23:09We need to get back to class.
23:10Please, just let us go.
23:11Open the door.
23:12Open it.
23:13Come on.
23:13Time for surgery.
23:15It's the only way to cure you.
23:16No!
23:17I'm not doing surgery, and especially not with a chainsaw.
23:20Chainsaws aren't for surgery.
23:21The virus has grown into your bones.
23:23If we don't cut it all out by tonight, you'll turn into twisted lumps of flesh.
23:27You call that cutting it out?
23:29That's cutting us in half.
23:30What kind of surgery uses a chainsaw?
23:33I'm a gloomspawn doctor.
23:34Using a chainsaw is totally reasonable.
23:38Don't be scared.
23:39We'll start with your legs.
23:42Once they're off, the pain stops.
24:02Quit stalling.
24:04Hand over the money, or we're having you for a midnight snack.
24:08Please, please, don't kill us.
24:10This is all we've got.
24:11Please, just let us go.
24:13I want Gloom Mark.
24:15You got a death wish?
24:16How would we have any Gloom Mark?
24:18No money?
24:19Then you can pay with your lives.
24:21They're picking a fight.
24:22They want us dead.
24:23We're almost out of this gloomspawn curse.
24:26They know time's running out, so they're finding a reason to kill us.
24:30Let's split up and run.
24:32If we can just hold out until time's up, we're out.
24:36I knew you'd try to run.
24:38Just stay put and hand over your lives.
24:40Which one should we eat first?
24:42No Gloom Marks?
24:45Then leave your flesh as your tuition!
24:48They got cornered by Gloomspawn.
24:55Once Doc Rust draws blood, we're probably next.
24:58We need to find a way out.
25:00Just hold out until time's up.
25:02They're stuck in this rule curse.
25:04If they make it to the end, they can go back.
25:06But will Gloomspawn give them that chance?
25:12Jackson, help!
25:17Everybody, stop!
25:18Who the hell are you to butt in?
25:20What are you doing?
25:21Bullying newbies behind the school?
25:23What class are you from?
25:27Are you crazy?
25:28Put your claws down!
25:29Let go!
25:30This kid just yelled at me!
25:32I'm gonna eat him alive!
25:33Like hell you are!
25:34Are you blind or what?
25:35That's Vin Jackson!
25:36Vin Jackson?
25:37Who's that?
25:38At the court earlier.
25:40His cousin, Rena.
25:41She literally sent that upperclassman straight to the afterlife.
25:44You wanna die messing with him?
25:45Jackson, I'm sorry.
25:46We didn't know who you were.
25:47We were out of line.
25:48From today on, you're our boss.
25:50That's more like it.
25:51From now on, help each other out.
25:52No more of this ganging up on the new kids.
25:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:56Thanks for the mercy.
25:59Well, we'll go write that 1,000 word apology right now.
26:03We swear we'll never bully the new kid.
26:05All right, off you go.
26:06All right, off you go.
26:09Thank you for saving me.
26:11Or they would have eaten me.
26:12It was nothing.
26:13Just helping out.
26:14I just can't stand bullying.
26:16Nothing?
26:16That's putting it lightly.
26:17That wasn't just bullying.
26:19No, you don't get it.
26:20In his eyes, these terrifying monsters are just some unruly bad students.
26:24Run complete.
26:25Players must evacuate within three minutes.
26:28Finally, we made it.
26:29This run was absolute hell.
26:34Finn, if not for you covering us in secret, none of us would have survived this run.
26:39Anyway, I, Ray Zane, owe you my life.
26:41What are you even talking about?
26:42Stop playing dumb.
26:43Finn, time's up.
26:44With your skills, you probably cleared this dump a hundred times.
26:47Come on, leave with us.
26:48Or it'll be too late.
26:49Go where?
26:50Where else?
26:51Home, of course.
26:52Go home, take a hot shower, and crash.
26:54You don't seriously want to live in this creepy place?
26:56Home?
26:57I just paid my tuition for the semester.
26:59Sure, the facilities are rough, but I can't just leave now.
27:03Tuition?
27:04Jackson, are you taking this too seriously?
27:06It's clearly...
27:07I didn't just pay tuition, and I also promised my aunt to stay here with my cousin.
27:11Wait, you seriously don't know?
27:12Don't know what?
27:13What do you mean?
27:14The rule curse.
27:15This is a rule curse run.
27:17Finn, listen to me.
27:18This isn't some normal school.
27:21It's a rule curse run.
27:23Supernatural forces randomly pull people from the real world into a deadly game.
27:29Come on, man.
27:30Have you been reading too many web novels or gotten obsessed with some game?
27:33Come on, let's stick to science.
27:36Forget it.
27:37Can't you tell?
27:38Something's off with him.
27:39You mean he went through extreme mental trauma and his brain switched into self-protection?
27:45Is that so?
27:46We don't have time.
27:47Whether he's crazy or faking it, staying here means death.
27:50Forget him.
27:51Let's go.
27:52Finn, you're really not coming with us?
27:54No way.
27:55I'm staying to finish my studies.
27:57And look after my cousin.
27:59Either way, without you tonight, none of us would have made it.
28:03Take this little gift before we go.
28:05I hope it helps you.
28:09Oh, you really didn't have to.
28:10We're classmates.
28:12Helping each other is only right.
28:13See ya, transfers.
28:15Lucian, what did you just give him?
28:16I found it in a hidden corner.
28:18A pair of ultra-precise night vision glasses.
28:211500 degrees.
28:22Alright, our annual spring trip is coming up.
28:27Spring trip!
28:28Finally, we get to go out!
28:30Where are we going for the trip?
28:31Ma'am, can we eat people again like last year?
28:34Yeah, yeah!
28:35It's been a year since I got new skin.
28:37This time I'm gonna pick out dozens of tender humans in the city.
28:40What kind of trip is this?
28:42Look at you getting so worked up.
28:43Yeah!
28:44Spring trip's always a blast.
28:46I wonder where we're going this year.
28:47Oh, I see.
28:49Guess our school really knows how to plan these trips.
28:52All of you, shut up!
28:53Who told you we're going to the city?
28:56The principal said.
28:58This year's destination isn't some safe city.
29:01We're going to Blackwood Forest.
29:06After class, I went back to the dorm.
29:08And my roommate was writing a suicide note.
29:11Yo, man, working hard, in the middle of the night, right after class, already on your homework?
29:15And this isn't homework.
29:17It's...
29:18It's a suicide note.
29:19What?
29:20It's just a camping trip.
29:21No need for a final goodbye.
29:23You don't know how terrifying Blackwood is.
29:25Even the grass there drinks blood.
29:27If some wild monster there slurps me up like a noodle, my parents won't even know I'm gone.
29:31All this drama over a little wilderness trip?
29:34But you're right.
29:35At least to tell them you're fine.
29:36So, what do your parents do in the city?
29:38My parents?
29:39They're amazing.
29:40They were top grads from our school.
29:41Handpicked and assigned to a hospital in the city.
29:45Guaranteed placement, huh?
29:46Took me until after graduation to realize they were assigned there as Gloomspom.
29:52They're top performers at that hospital!
29:56Assigned jobs?
29:58Schools this decent are rare these days.
30:01So, what kind of jobs do grads usually get?
30:03Tons of options.
30:04This school is a major talent pipeline for the region.
30:07The placements are super diverse.
30:09Hospitals.
30:11Schools.
30:12Amusement parks.
30:14Healthcare, education, tourism.
30:17Those are good industries.
30:18And it's not just that.
30:20Some get assigned to city buses.
30:22Others to elevators.
30:26There was a senior from two years ago.
30:28He got assigned straight to a passenger flight.
30:30Now he works at the sky.
30:32That's pretty insane, don't you think?
30:34Sounds awesome.
30:35Not just transportation.
30:37They've even got pilots.
30:38But facilities here look pretty average.
30:41Kind of run down, actually.
30:42How do you study those majors?
30:43You don't need classes for that stuff.
30:45As long as you survive the finals, the school will place you.
30:48That sounds pretty easy.
30:49Looking forward to it.
30:50Get some rest.
30:52Save your strength.
30:53Tomorrow we're heading to Blackwood Forest.
30:56Ah, nothing beats that fresh forest air.
31:01I can barely see.
31:02My glass is broke.
31:03But I can tell it's beautiful and peaceful here.
31:05Yep.
31:06He's definitely not normal.
31:07He may not look like a Gloomspom.
31:09But he's gotta be scarier than most of them.
31:11Exactly.
31:11This place is a nightmare zone.
31:13And he calls it beautiful?
31:15Oh my god, that's terrifying.
31:16This place is creepy.
31:17What if there are ghosts here?
31:19What if we run into one?
31:20Wait, aren't you a ghost yourself?
31:22What are you scared of?
31:23Oh, right, right.
31:24The vibe just got me.
31:25I forgot I was a ghost too.
31:27While they kept exploring deep in the forest.
31:32Report to the Trent King.
31:34Many unfamiliar Gloomspawn have entered our territory in groups.
31:40Since they've come to us, let them all become my nourishment.
31:45Hey cuz, we're wandering around the woods at night.
31:47Where are we even headed?
31:48We can't just walk all night, right?
31:50The teacher said we just follow Blackwood Forest and keep going.
31:53Ah, I see.
31:54Got it.
31:54This is totally set up by the school.
31:56They dragged us out here at night and gave us no map.
31:59I swear the teacher hid a bunch of scary props in the bushes and grass along the way.
32:02Then a thick crimson fog rolled in and everyone got separated.
32:07Help.
32:09I can't see any other Gloomspawn.
32:10I can't see any others.
32:12Something's grabbing my leg.
32:13Huh?
32:14This is weird.
32:15Why are there fewer people now?
32:16Everyone's walking so fast.
32:19Raya, where are you?
32:20Fog's too thick.
32:21I can't see the path.
32:24Looks like the game has begun.
32:26My cousin is the first to run into a monster.
32:29Haha, little girl.
32:30Be good and become my snack.
32:36In a world of Crimson Fog, Rina runs into a forest monster first.
32:49New pieces of trash.
32:51You're just wasting my time.
32:52Meanwhile, the others get caught by the Trent King.
32:56Rina's always been the top dog at school.
32:58Even in the forest, the scale walker is no match for her.
33:06The other students like cured meat, strung up by the Trent King, and drained of nutrients.
33:20While the others are still stuck in bondage play, Rina's already taken down her opponent.
33:39The Trent King's scouts spotted me.
33:50The Trent King's scouts spotted me.
33:53They've blocked the path.
33:54They need a good trim.
33:55Good thing I'm smart.
33:57Before leaving, I grabbed a hatchet at the cafeteria.
33:59Mountain trails are brutal.
34:01I need tools to clear a path.
34:02I don't know why, but this hatchet feels perfect for chopping wood.
34:05Or maybe the trees here are just too brittle.
34:07I can cut through them with one swing, and somehow, without even thinking, I chopped down all the gloomspawn trees
34:12in my way.
34:13Where's my soul cleaver chopper?
34:15Who the hell stole my family heirloom ghost weapon?
34:19That thing can slice through iron like butter.
34:22It's made for chopping up gloomspawn.
34:24Who dares lay a hand on my blade?
34:27I couldn't see clearly, so I thought those gloomspawn trees were just ordinary branches.
34:32I just chopped them down.
34:33But while I was chopping, I don't know why, it felt like the blade had a red glow of its
34:37own.
34:37I just kept swinging, and it still felt great in my hand.
34:41Two gloomspawn students explore Blackwood Forest.
34:46This place is colder than our school morgue.
34:49That's a gloomspawn-eating ghoulbloom.
34:51It gives off the scent gloomspawn love most.
34:53Such a pure, fragrant gloom aura.
34:56I'm gonna eat it.
34:58The moment you get close, it swallows a gloomspawn and digests it.
35:04After it absorbs a gloomspawn, it keeps releasing that scent they love.
35:08Help! Your flower eats gloomspawn!
35:11Seven's presence is overwhelming, so every gloomspawn flower shrivels up around her.
35:17Cousin, where are you?
35:18If you don't come out, I'll burn this whole forest down.
35:22After we got separated, Seven kept looking for me.
35:27But the Trent King's ever-reaching branches had already found Seven.
35:30It was about to grab Seven and drain her.
35:37You rotten logs are in my way again.
35:40The Trent King launched its attack on Seven.
35:43Countless branches came whipping in.
35:54This split-up tactic has to be the school training our survival skills.
35:57But it's basically just a school outing.
36:00What could go wrong?
36:03With my 1500 diopter nearsightedness, I thought they were just normal forest flowers, so I just chopped them.
36:11The view here must be amazing.
36:13If only I had my glasses.
36:15One of my three roommates just got swallowed.
36:17Blanky is just... gone.
36:18Damn it, it ain't my roommate.
36:20I'll kill you.
36:22I'll rip you up by the roots, you lousy flower.
36:30No way.
36:31Bear, you're really that loyal to Blanky.
36:33Just to save him, you'd risk your life fighting a wild gloomspawn.
36:36Loyal my ass.
36:37That bastard still owes me 500 gloom mark.
36:40He's laid to rest.
36:41So who's paying me back?
36:42Spit him out.
36:43Spit him out.
36:44The Trent King hides in the forest.
36:46Countless branches are lashing out at Seven.
36:49Looks like Seven's power is too strong.
36:51And the Trent King can't resist it.
36:58Meanwhile on my side, I found it.
37:00These forest flowers smell amazing.
37:03If I turn them into spices, they'll taste great.
37:11Seven kept pushing deeper in and found a lot of classmates.
37:15They'd all been taken by the Trent King.
37:17Their life force drained non-stop.
37:25Almost everyone had been captured.
37:27But Seven ignored them.
37:32And with my spices in hand, I headed deeper into the forest too.
37:37I can't see much, but the vibe is perfect.
37:40For this spring outing, the school must have spent big on this.
37:43Then I suddenly sensed something in the bushes.
37:45A rabbit.
37:46I'm nearsighted.
37:47So this huge rabbit looked like a rabbit to me.
37:50From my view, it looked like this.
37:51Actually, it looked like this.
37:54I'd just gotten the spices.
37:56So this rabbit showed up at the perfect time.
38:01You were so good just now.
38:02How do you flip out that fast?
38:04Perfect.
38:05I'm starving.
38:16I've gotta say, the flower spices you made earlier smell incredible.
38:20Just one whiff makes me hungry.
38:23Vocational students really have it rough these days.
38:26Even camping, you've gotta hunt for yourself.
38:28Seven pushed fast through the forest when she suddenly caught a scent.
38:32Looks like processed petals can carry their fragrance a long way.
38:35And as a total foodie, Seven noticed it right away.
38:39Cousin, what are you doing?
38:41Come here, cuz.
38:42I'm firing up the grill.
38:44My three roommates are still fighting the ghoul bloom.
38:47Seven's still chowing down on barbecue.
38:49So good.
38:50I can't take this anymore.
38:52Everything in this forest is insane.
38:57Look, that's the legendary Crimson Madcap.
38:59A senior told me.
39:01It only grows in places of deepest yin.
39:03Eat it, and it instantly triggers your berserk gene.
39:05Enough power to rip the Trent King apart.
39:08I'll go get it.
39:22For my 500, I'm all in!
39:30Got it!
39:38My roommate bear ate a groomspawn mushroom and got way stronger.
39:41He gained incredible power in an instant.
39:49He really leveled up.
39:51Driven by death, he turned into a total beast.
40:00Pay me back, my 500!
40:07I swear I just saw my great-grandma waving at me.
40:13Are you still alive?
40:14Bear, what happened to you?
40:15Cut the crap!
40:16Pay back the 500 gloom mark first.
40:19I'm afraid another flower will eat you.
40:22Here, try some.
40:23While I was still having barbecue with my cousin,
40:26the ground and trees around us began to change,
40:28and I didn't even notice.
40:31Seven was still eating happily.
40:32She suddenly sensed danger.
40:42Hey!
40:43Where you going, cuz?
40:45Fresh off the grill.
40:46It's best while it's hot.
40:48You still eating?
40:50Pack it up for me.
40:52Sure.
40:54I'm wiped.
40:55Completely wiped.
40:56Like my body's been drained dry.
40:58Once the mushroom's kick wore off,
40:59Bear was totally spent.
41:01A man for one minute,
41:02and the cost is brutal.
41:03Let's go.
41:04This forest is creepy as hell.
41:09Meanwhile, Seven.
41:10Alone, he picked up a dangerous presence.
41:12He spotted a few wooden giants.
41:14They messed with his meal,
41:15and now Seven is furious.
41:17His power's up several fold.
41:19Because of you,
41:20I have to eat three minutes later.
41:42Because of you,
41:44Let me see where all this trouble started.
41:46Where are you hiding?
41:52Hang in there, guys.
41:53I smell it.
41:54The main group has to be over there.
41:56When you're out here,
41:56don't litter.
41:58My cousin's fast.
41:59I need to hurry too,
42:00or the teacher's gonna worry.
42:02So I kept moving,
42:03looking for the group.
42:07Another one.
42:09You old stump.
42:11Are you the one keeping me from eating?
42:14Damn!
42:15It's our class!
42:17Is this the Blackwood Forest Trent from the legends?
42:19Legend says human or gloomspawn.
42:21If those branches grab you,
42:22it'll drain you dry in an instant.
42:25The Trank King summons countless Witherguard.
42:31Tear them apart!
42:37The three roommates charge into the fight too.
42:41Witherguard!
42:49There are too many!
42:51We can't kill them all!
42:53After dozens of rounds,
42:55Seven's power starts to fade.
42:56He's wearing out too.
43:02Ah!
43:04In the end,
43:06he still didn't get his 500 back.
43:08We're done!
43:08We're jerky for sure now!
43:27Seven and her three roommates
43:29were all captured by the Trank King.
43:33Struggle all you want.
43:35You're all my nourishment.
43:37I'm getting a little tired.
43:38Looks like I'll be spending the night here.
43:41And I just happened to wander
43:43into the Trank King's territory.
43:44I had no idea the Trank King
43:46was coming for me.
43:47This old tree looks pretty sturdy.
43:49I'll chop some wood,
43:51start a fire,
43:52and set up camp.
43:53Ah!
43:54Where's that weird screeching coming from?
43:58Stop chopping!
44:00So I kept swinging this chopper,
44:02hacking away at the wood.
44:03Sometimes I'd hear a scream,
44:04but I figured it was just some spooky sound effects
44:07the school set up.
44:16After chopping it down,
44:17I used the wood to start a fire.
44:20See?
44:21See?
44:22What did I tell you?
44:23Jackson's been hiding his true strength.
44:25That was a thousand year the Trank King.
44:27Our whole class wouldn't even be a snack to it.
44:29Exactly.
44:30Whatever you do,
44:31don't mess with Jackson at this school.
44:33Man, after all that work,
44:34I almost forgot the important part.
44:37Here, cuz.
44:38I packed you some rabbit tenderloin over there.
44:41Eat this first.
44:42Hold you over,
44:42cuz I'll get you something fresh right now.
44:46Delicious.
44:47Delicious.
44:47Delicious.
44:47Delicious.
44:48Delicious.
44:48Delicious.
44:49Delicious.
45:01Uh, um,
45:02can we sit here?
45:03Oh, everyone's here.
45:04Perfect, perfect.
45:05Let's barbecue first and regain strength.
45:09Time to show off my cooking.
45:11Barbecue for everyone.
45:13Dig in, everyone.
45:15Enough for all.
45:15Yes!
45:16Did you see that?
45:17Little Finn looked insanely cool swinging that chopper.
45:20And he can cook too.
45:22Look how gentle he is flipping the skewers.
45:25I don't know why,
45:26but I swear I feel seven's killing intent.
45:29Alright, they're fully cooked.
45:31Eat up while they're hot.
45:34Yes, that's the spirit.
45:35Keep it up, everyone.
45:36Almost to the finish.
45:40I'd be impressed if even one or three of this class made it back.
45:43This many?
45:44This many?
45:45This many?
45:45This many?
45:46Teacher!
45:46You all actually made it back.
45:48Reporting, sir!
45:49We're back!
45:50Not bad!
45:50You made it through Blackwood Forest.
45:52You've all passed the exam this time.
45:55You passed!
46:03So this isn't a spring outing.
46:04It's an exam.
46:05Oh my god, you should have said so.
46:07So it was a school exam.
46:10All of you, settle down.
46:12We set up this pop quiz to show you where you really stand.
46:15You're going to work in all kinds of urban legends.
46:17If you can't even survive out here,
46:19how are you going to scare anyone or hit the KPIs the school assigns you?
46:24Teacher's right.
46:25We need to step up our skills and don't shame the school.
46:27Since you've all passed the Blackwood Trials,
46:30next I've got an announcement that affects our school's honor.
46:34We just received a notice from HQ.
46:36The International Gloom Academy Tournament is about to begin.
46:40When the time comes,
46:42Night Parade Academies exchange students and mentors will be coming to our school
46:46for a three-day academic showdown.
46:49We went back to normal classes on our second day back.
46:53Uh, hey little fan.
46:56Huh?
46:57Oh, it's Sadie.
46:58After school, could you come by for a minute?
47:02The alley behind the classroom building.
47:04I need to talk to you alone about something important.
47:10Recorded?
47:11Sure, no problem.
47:12Deal!
47:16Next up, the International Gloom Academy Tournament.
47:20It's a real test of fear and survival.
47:23First round, who can scare harder?
47:26Whoever breaks the target with the most Gloomspawn methods gets the higher score.
47:31Second round, Gloomspawn Power.
47:34Bottom line, it's a straight strength match.
47:36The losing school hands over three major urban legend instances as an apology.
47:42What is this even saying?
47:44Our opponents this time are an exchange team from the Eastern Isles.
47:47Their Gloomspawn tricks are vicious and ruthless.
47:49And they've always been insanely arrogant on the world stage.
47:53They dismiss Dragon Nation's Gloomspawn.
47:55The principal has spoken in person.
47:57We have to win this exchange match.
48:00Yeah!
48:04Don't worry, sir.
48:05We'll crush the Eastern Isles.
48:08And hey, you promised.
48:10Don't forget to show up.
48:12Don't worry, Sadie.
48:13I'm always on time.
48:14I'm on my way.
48:18Not bad, Finn.
48:20You've been hiding your game.
48:22Sadie's got a big mouth, but she's still pretty in our class.
48:25She's obviously into you.
48:26So what?
48:27The next scene is a kiss?
48:29Don't talk nonsense.
48:31We're just classmates, nothing more.
48:33As I left the classroom, my roommate felt a wave of killing intent.
48:42Hey, Sadie.
48:43You wanted to see me so badly.
48:45Is something wrong?
48:46About last night?
48:47I really can't thank you enough.
48:49Oh, come on.
48:50It was nothing.
48:51We're classmates.
48:52It was cold, so I chopped some wood for a fire and made some food.
48:55No big deal.
48:57No, it wasn't just that.
48:59You don't know how cool you looked swinging that chopper.
49:04You're the most special, the most handsome, and the guy who makes me feel safest.
49:09Sadie, what are you doing?
49:13Finn Jackson, I like you.
49:15I really like you.
49:29Hey, Sadie.
49:30This is kind of sudden, and honestly, I can't even see you clearly yet.
49:34If I said yes right now, I'd be doing myself a disservice, and it'd be disrespectful to you.
49:40It's okay, Jackson.
49:41I don't mind.
49:44If you want a better look at me, then come a little closer.
49:48Just look at me properly.
49:52Oh, right, I remember.
49:54Those transfer students gave me a gift.
49:57A thank you gift.
49:58Before we go, please accept this small gift.
50:01I hope it helps you.
50:03I thought it was just glasses before, so I forgot to open it.
50:08This is...
50:09Talk about perfect timing.
50:11Lucian Chase really knows people.
50:13He knew what I needed.
50:18Sadie.
50:19I can see you clearly now.
50:33What's going on?
50:34Your cousin, what are you doing here?
50:35How are you so strong?
50:37Tell me.
50:38Do you like her?
50:38No, cousin.
50:39You've got it wrong.
50:40I've only known Sadie a few days.
50:42I can't even make out her face.
50:44How can I like her?
50:45Oh, good.
50:46That's a relief, cousin.
50:49Fine, fine.
50:50I'm heading back.
50:51Next time, could you be gentler?
50:52You're about to yank me apart.
51:04Just now.
51:06So, do you like my cousin?
51:09Let me ask you one last time.
51:11Do you really like my cousin?
51:13Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
51:14Like him?
51:15Ha ha ha!
51:16I'm obsessed with him!
51:17Just a whiff of his scent!
51:19And my soul melts!
51:21I love him to death!
51:22Gross.
51:34I'm going to swallow him whole, become one, his bones, his flesh, his breath!
51:39He'll all be mine!
51:40Then we can be together forever, never apart again!
51:48You're even more twisted than I am!
51:50I only wanted one bite just to taste him.
51:53And you want to swallow him whole!
51:56He he he he he he he he he!
52:00Our fin is back!
52:01So, is the air in the back alley sweet?
52:03What else is there to say?
52:05Like, Jackson, you can have my heart, right?
52:07Cut it out, you guys!
52:08Sadie was just...
52:09Just thanking me, that's all.
52:34I'm going to eat him alive!
52:36Your love is disgusting.
52:43Everyone, come look!
52:45Finn's got a girlfriend!
52:50Cousin, you're back.
52:51I heard a girl likes you now.
52:53Not anymore.
52:54What do you mean, not anymore?
52:56Sadie said she suddenly figured it out.
52:59She's going somewhere far away to repeat a year.
53:02I see.
53:03Kids these days just up and leave.
53:08Excuse me!
53:09Coming through!
53:11Delivery!
53:12Who's Finn Jackson?
53:13I...
53:14I'm Finn Jackson.
53:16You picked one hell of a spot.
53:18I biked 30 kilometers with GPS and then my tire blew.
53:21The chain snapped too.
53:22I had to climb over that crow-covered mountain.
53:25And I even swam through a stinking lake with green fumes.
53:30Kid, I've been delivering for five years.
53:33Never seen a village so hard to find.
53:35Next time this one, you must pay extra.
53:37I'm really sorry.
53:38Appreciate it, man.
53:39This mountain road is brutal.
53:41I'm out.
53:42I'm out.
53:42People in your village.
53:43Why do you all look so busted?
53:49Finally, I'm here.
53:50My custom ultra clear 1500 degree glasses.
54:02Wait, what Lucian Chase said is true?
54:05This place is crawling with gloomspawn.
54:17What have I done?
54:19Cousin, what's wrong?
54:26Jackson, what's wrong?
54:27Here, bro.
54:28Let me take a look.
54:34They've all lost it.
54:36Though they weren't kidding.
54:37This really is hell.
54:38I have to get out.
54:40I have to get back to the human world.
54:49Finn, what's wrong?
54:50Graduation's about to start.
54:52Job assignments are next.
54:54Students, today, class one officially graduates.
54:57Principal, since we've graduated, can I go home now?
55:00I want to go back to my own city.
55:02Finn, you're one of our top prospects.
55:04Of course you take the assignment.
55:06By decision of the school board, congratulations, Finn Jackson.
55:09You've been assigned to the city outskirts to an S-ranked gloomspawns rules haunt as the stage boss.
55:14The stage boss?
55:15That's right.
55:16Once you're there, follow the rules.
55:19Your job is to kill every human player who dares enter.
55:23Every last one.
55:26Don't let a single one live.
55:28What the hell is this?
55:29You want me in a rules haunt as a gloomspawn?
55:32I'm human, damn it.
