[02:06] NA
    The mainland.
[02:09] NA
    There exists the most
    prosperous nation on Earth.
[02:22] NA
    East and west, everything is here.
[02:30] NA
    And it is also a place where the opportunity
[02:35] ---
    to obtain everything is given to all equally.
[03:00] NA
    There are two men here.
[03:03] NA
    Nowadays, there's a world of difference
    in the way the two of them live.
[03:08] NA
    However...
[03:09] NA
    These two
[03:11] ---
    were born in the same village,
[03:14] NA
    studied at the same school,
[03:17] NA
    and were raised similarly.
[03:20] NA
    Then what could possibly
    have happened in the past
[03:25] ---
    that so cruelly separated their fates?
[03:28] NA
    That would be...
[03:30] ---
    the National Special-Level University Exam!
[03:35] NA
    In this country, it is your educational
    background that determines your worth.
[03:39] NA
    Passing the National
    Special-Level University Exam
[03:43] ---
    means you will succeed in life...
[03:46] NA
    while not passing means you will fail.
[03:51] NA
    For that reason, the children of
    the mainland receive an intense
[03:56] ---
    education from an early age
    in order to pass the exam.
SIGN    Special-Level Private Tutor One hour = $1,000,000
[04:00] NA
    Expensive studying materials...

[04:04] NA
    Parents will pay large sums of
    money for their children's futures,
[04:08] NA

    the parents' expectations.
SIGN    Teenage Years Lost: Priceless
[04:14] NA
    Those born with an overwhelming
    amount of intelligence are known as
[04:18] ---
    "Learning-Type" or "L-Type" students.
[04:24] NA
    But that does not mean everyone takes
[04:26] ---
    the exams through conventional means.
[04:29] NA
    An artificial skin containing
    all answers necessary
[04:32] ---
    for the exam is only 0.2 millimeters thick.
SIGN    Cheating Artificial Skin:
    $2,000,000
[04:36] NA
    Contact lenses transmit
    images to the retinas and can
[04:39] ---
    translate every single
    language in an instant.
SIGN    Cheating Lenses: $2,000,000
[04:42] NA
    Of course, these methods
    are against the rules.
[04:45] NA
    However, there is something
    they call "a parent's heart,"
[04:48] ---
    which wishes for their child to pass
    the exam by any means necessary.
[04:53] Father
    You will be the best C-Type student!
[04:56] Son
    Stop it, Dad! Just let me go to cram school!
[05:00] Father
    Open wide.
SIGN    Self-Destruct System for the Destruction of Evidence: $30
[05:10] NA
    Those who take on the exam by
    gambling with their own bodies
[05:15] NA
    are known as "Cheating-Type"
[05:19] ---
    or "C-Type" students.
[05:23] NA
    And they are unleashing
    everything they have today
SIGN    National Special-Level University Exam
[05:27] ---
    on the National Special-Level
    University Exam.
[05:41] Student
    H-Huh?
[05:49] NA
    The mainland does not underestimate cheaters.
[05:52] NA
    Ever since the creation of
    the imperial examination,
[05:56] ---
    the civil service exam that began thousands
[05:59] ---
    of years ago during the Sui dynasty,
[06:01] ---
    this country has continued to fight
    any and all kinds of cheating.
[06:06] Student
    You've made a mistake!
[06:07] Student
    I wasn't cheating!
[06:08] Student
    There's been some kind of mistake!
[06:11] NA
    Those who use half-baked techniques
    cannot survive in this system.
[06:15] ---
    Ow...
[06:32] Student
    I'll pass next year! Just you wait!
[06:36] NA
    Of course, those two men took
    this cruel exam, as well.
[06:42] NA
    One of them has
[06:44] ---
    worked hard since childhood,
    and become an L-Type student.
[06:49] NA
    And...
[07:08] ---
    The other has become a frightening
    C-Type student who has perfected
[07:13] ---
    the technique of training the mind and body.
[07:17] NA
    To a C-Type student, an L-Type
    partner is a vital necessity.
[07:21] NA
    The C-Type student can pass the exam by
    copying the L-Type student's answers.
[07:27] NA
    Well, then, what is a C-Type
    student to an L-Type student?
[07:37] NA
    The fewer people that
    pass the exam, the better.
[07:41] NA
    There are also C-Types who think about
    bringing down all but themselves.
[07:52] NA
    C-Types protect the L-Types,
[07:54] ---
    and L-Types tell the C-Types the answers.
[07:57] NA
    Their relationship is truly
    like fish and water.
[08:01] NA
    They are essential to each other.
[08:24] ---
    Weak!
[08:24] ---
    Ow!
[08:26] Student
    Damn it, take that! And that and that!
[08:30] C-Type Student
    Oh, you've really done it now!
[08:41] NA
    No matter what enemies surround them...
[08:48] NA
    No matter what natural
    disaster befalls them...
[08:53] NA
    Even if everything is lost...
[08:56] NA
    They will not turn their backs on the exam.
[09:16] C-Type Student
    Hey, hey!
[09:27] NA
    Strength and wisdom.
[09:29] NA
    Calm judgment.
[09:32] NA
    Only those who have a combination
    of these traits can pass the exam...
[09:38] NA
    and go on to obtain everything.
[09:46] C-Type Student
    Thank you.
[09:49] NA
    This is the test of the mainland.
SIGN    And so...
[10:06] NA
    And so...
[10:08] NA
    Now, one girl and one boy are
    teaming up to take on this test.
[10:14] NA
    The boy's name is Shokatsu Mumei.
[10:17] NA
    The girl's name is Ou Koui.
[10:19] NA
    They are taking on this test
    to save Mumei's father,
[10:25] ---
    who was wrongly imprisoned.
[11:06] NA
    Now begins
[11:08] ---
    the long, intense exam of the students
[11:13] ---
    who will come to be known as
[11:17] ---
    the Legendary Generation.
[11:25] NA
