    Episode 15
[01:43] Lu Mingfei
    The barrier...
[01:45] Lu Mingfei
    It looks like it
    won't hold much longer.
[01:49] Lu Mingfei
    I never thought...
[01:51] Lu Mingfei
    that I'd end up dying beside Constantine.
[02:06] Lu Mingfei
    Principal?
[02:08] Anjou
    Mingfei, thanks for your hard work.
[02:10] Anjou
    Pick up the Seven Deadly Sins,
    and let's get out of here.
[02:17] Lu Mingfei
    I'm finally back to the College, safe and sound.
[02:19] Anjou
    I've notified the academic affairs committee
    about the credits I promised you.
[02:23] Lu Mingfei
    Thanks, Principal!
[02:27] Lu Mingfei
    Your phone...
[02:28] Anjou
    Go back and have a rest.
[02:30] Lu Mingfei
    Okay. Bye, Principal.
[02:36] Anjou
    What happened?
[02:38] Night Watchman
    Chu Zihang was just taken away
    by the investigation team.
[02:40] Night Watchman
    They're holding a College
    hearing immediately.
[02:43] Night Watchman
    It's likely about you.
[02:45] Anjou
    I'm staying away.
[02:46] Anjou
    You handle the hearing.
[02:48] Night Watchman
    No problem.
[02:50] Medic (Female)
    I'll give you an injection straight away.
[02:51] Medic (Female)
    Go check over there.
    There should be more casualties.
[02:54] Medic (Female)
    I'll be right there.
[02:55] Lu Mingfei
    What's going on?
[02:55] Medic (Female)
    Your arm's broken. Don't move.
[02:57] Medic (Female)
    I'll set it for you.
[02:57] Lu Mingfei
    Has the College been attacked?
[03:06] Lu Mingfei
    I wonder how Finger is doing.
[03:08] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, Finger...
[03:09] Finger
    Where have you been?
    You didn't answer my calls.
[03:11] Lu Mingfei
    I...
[03:12] Finger
    Come to Valhalla quickly.
[03:13] Finger
    Chu Zihang's hearing before the
     school board is about to start.
[03:17] Lu Mingfei
    Brother's hearing?
[03:19] Lu Mingfei
    I'll be right there!
[03:39] Blair Bitner
    Student representatives may now enter.
[04:05] Finger
    The student union and Lionheart Society
    are still at each other's throats.
[04:13] Lu Mingfei
    The Lionheart Society and the
    student union are sitting on opposite sides.
[04:16] Lu Mingfei
    Even though I'm in the student union,
[04:18] Lu Mingfei
    I'm still on Brother's side.
[04:20] Xia Mi
    Lu Mingfei!
[04:22] Xia Mi
    Over here, over here!
[04:23] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, coming!
[04:27] Lu Mingfei
    You brought lilies for Brother?
[04:30] Xia Mi
    Yep.
[05:07] Nono
    Hey.
[05:10] Nono
    Move over. Let me sit there.
[05:12] Lu Mingfei
    Sure.
[05:13] Classmate (F)
    What's happening? Isn't she Caesar's girlfriend,
    the president of the student union?
[05:18] Classmate (F)
    She won't join the Lionheart Society, right?
[05:20] Classmate (F)
    She's not wearing the correct clothes, either.
[05:22] Classmates
    Did she have a fight with Caesar?
[05:24] Lu Mingfei
    Why are you here?
[05:26] Nono
    Should I not be?
[05:27] Lu Mingfei
    The seats are assigned.
[05:29] Lu Mingfei
    Caesar's over there.
[05:30] Nono
    I know.
[05:31] Nono
    Can't I like red?
    Aren't you sitting here, too?
[05:34] Blair Bitner
    Silence!
[05:36] Blair Bitner
    I hereby declare this
    hearing officially open.
[05:40] Blair Bitner
    Due to discrepancies between the
    school board's investigative team
[05:45] Blair Bitner
    and the College administration regarding the
    bloodline of A-ranked student Chu Zihang,
[05:50] Blair Bitner
    we have no choice but to hold this hearing
[05:53] Blair Bitner
    to provide an forum
    for open discussion.
[05:56] Blair Bitner
    The purpose of this hearing
    is to decide whether or not
[06:00] Blair Bitner
    the school has made a
    critical error in its assessment,
[06:04] Blair Bitner
    and allowed a dangerous
    bloodline into the College.
[06:07] Blair Bitner
    Mr. Andrew, you may begin.
[06:10] Andrew
    Thank you for your opening
    remarks, Mr. Blair.
[06:13] Andrew
    I shall now question some
    of the parties involved.
[06:18] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? Is he looking at me?
[06:21] Lu Mingfei
    No way. No one told me
     I'd be called as a witness.
[06:24] Andrew
    Mr. Lu Mingfei, it is my understanding
[06:27] Andrew
    that you recently completed a mission
    with Chu Zihang in Xinguo, right?
[06:32] Lu Mingfei
    Um, yes.
[06:34] Andrew
    Then you should know Chu Zihang very well.
[06:36] Andrew
    What do you think of him?
[06:40] Lu Mingfei
    Um, he...
[06:42] Andrew
    Be honest.
[06:44] Andrew
    Don't worry.
[06:45] Lu Mingfei
    Sure. Brother is...
[06:49] Lu Mingfei
    super awesome!
[06:54] Andrew
    Earlier I submitted a mission report to the
     hearing, which you signed and approved.
[06:58] Andrew
    According to your report,
[07:00] Andrew
    the mission proceeded smoothly
    and was successful.
[07:03] Andrew
    Is that true?
[07:05] Lu Mingfei OS
    Oh, I see. Trying to catch me out?
[07:09] Lu Mingfei OS
    Huh. Watch me put you in your place.
[07:11] Andrew
    Lu Mingfei, think before you answer.
[07:15] Andrew
    You should know the consequences of perjury.
[07:18] Lu Mingfei
    Perjury? No way! The mission went smoothly.
[07:22] Lu Mingfei
    Didn't we retrieve what
    the school board wanted?
[07:25] Lu Mingfei
    Is there a problem with it?
[07:27] Andrew OS
    Didn't they say he's a coward? What's...
[07:31] Andrew
    Smoothly?
[07:32] Andrew
    In reality, that mission was
    entirely led by Chu Zihang.
[07:35] Andrew
    You weren't involved at all.
[07:37] Andrew
    That report was also written by Chu Zihang.
[07:39] Andrew
    All you did was sign your name!
[07:40] Andrew
    He's a lone wolf like that.
[07:42] Andrew
    He doesn't work with anyone!
[07:43] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, can't I just call the shots?
[07:45] Lu Mingfei
    Can't I come up with the plan
    and assign tasks to my deputy?
[07:48] Lu Mingfei
    No rule says that the specialist must
    personally carry out the mission.
[07:51] Lu Mingfei
    If I get the job done,
    why do you care how I do it?
[07:55] Andrew
    Did you hear that, everyone?
[07:56] Andrew
    This young specialist is 19 years old,
[07:59] Andrew
    has no experience in the field,
    and even failed two specialist courses.
[08:02] Andrew
    Yet, he claims he can
    remotely direct Chu Zihang
[08:05] Andrew
    to complete an SS-rank mission.
[08:06] Andrew
    The most laughable part is
    that the execution bureau
[08:10] Andrew
    accepted this report without a second thought
[08:12] Andrew
    and filed it away immediately.
[08:14] Andrew
    A blatant cover-up and conspiracy!
[08:16] Andrew
    And this is the College under
    Principal Anjou's leadership!
[08:19] Lu Mingfei
    But I'm an S-rank. S-rank, you know?
[08:23] Lu Mingfei
    I'm a genius.
[08:24] Lu Mingfei
    I was the specialist in
    charge of that mission.
[08:26] Lu Mingfei
    I outrank Chu Zihang, so why
    wouldn't he listen to me?
[08:29] Lu Mingfei
    Don't analyze a genius
    with your average brain!
[08:32] Lu Mingfei
    If someone needs to take responsibility,
    then I will. I signed, so it's on me.
[08:35] Lu Mingfei
    Why are you so focused on
    that errand boy Chu Zihang?
[08:38] Andrew
    You... Who can verify your claims?
[08:40] Nono
    I can.
[08:42] Nono
    I've worked with him before.
[08:43] Nono
    Lu Mingfei is exactly like that.
[08:44] Nono
    S-rank, outstanding bloodline, very capable.
[08:47] Nono
    He gives orders, calls the shots,
    and we execute them.
[08:50] Nono
    He's bossy, and his word is law.
[08:58] Finger
    That's right! Lu Mingfei is so bossy!
[09:02] Classmates
    Yeah! Well said!
[09:04] Classmates
    Nono! Lu Mingfei!
[09:09] Andrew
    Fine! You forced my hand!
[09:12] Andrew
    Parsi! Bring it over.
[09:15] Andrew
    Now I'm going to present evidence to the
    jury that absolutely cannot be refuted!
[09:24] Andrew
    Chu Zihang's blood sample!
[09:26] Night Watchman
    What?
[09:27] Finger
    Crap.
[09:30] Parsi
    I used this vacuum tube to draw
    blood directly from Chu Zihang,
[09:34] Parsi
    and immediately sealed it
    with a tamper-proof seal.
[09:37] Parsi
    Chu Zihang, is that right?
[09:38] Chu Zihang
    Yes.
[09:39] Parsi
    Now, this is blood sample B,
[09:42] Parsi
    pure human blood that
    I took from the blood bank.
[09:45] Parsi
    Its origin can be fully traced.
[09:47] Parsi
    We will now mix a portion of
    each sample together.
[09:56] Classmates
    A-An explosion! Chu Zihang's blood...
[10:02] Classmate (F)
    I would never have thought...
[10:04] Classmate (M)
    Chu Zihang was right next
    to us. What if he...
[10:07] Night Watchman
    How did Chu Zihang's blood sample get leaked?
[10:09] Finger
    No idea.
[10:11] Professor A
    This experiment can't be faked.
[10:13] Professor A
    That blood has been refined through
    the Blood Rage technique,
[10:16] Professor A
    so it's highly unstable.
[10:18] Jean Grosse
    Dangerous blood is flowing through
    Chu Zihang's entire body.
[10:21] Jean Grosse
    H-He could transform into a
    Death Servitor at any moment.
[10:27] Andrew
    As everyone can see, this is the truth.
[10:30] Andrew
    Despite this, Anjou actually
    protected such a dangerous student.
[10:34] Xia Mi
    Who can prove that the
    blood came from Chu Zihang?
[10:36] Xia Mi
    No one saw the blood being drawn, right?
[10:39] Xia Mi
    Maybe you put something in there.
[10:41] Xia Mi
    If it's the truth, why didn't
    you draw the blood right there?
[10:45] Andrew
    Uh... Because... he's had a blood transfusion.
[10:48] Andrew
    The human body needs a month
    to regenerate all of its blood cells.
[10:51] Andrew
    By treating him like a critically ill patient
[10:53] Andrew
    and completely flushing his blood,
[10:55] Andrew
    you can get rid of the evidence!
[10:56] Xia Mi
    Blood transfusion?
[10:59] Xia Mi
    If all the blood in his body is like this,
[11:01] Xia Mi
    wouldn't it explode upon contact with
    normal blood during the procedure?
[11:05] Xia Mi
    Then how can he be sitting here?
[11:07] Andrew
    Uh... He... He...
[11:10] Classmate (F)
    Yeah, yeah! What's up with that?
[11:12] Classmate (F)
    Maybe... the evidence...
[11:13] Xia Mi
    You can't answer that?
[11:15] Xia Mi
    Then your evidence is invalid!
[11:17] Classmates
    That's right! Invalid!
[11:19] Classmates
    Fake evidence! Fake!
[11:22] Classmates
    Xia Mi's right!
[11:22] Andrew
    I'm not sure who did the blood transfusion,
[11:25] Andrew
    but don't worry!
[11:26] Andrew
    Besides the blood sample,
    we have new evidence!
[11:29] Andrew
    A witness!
[11:33] Classmates
    Caesar?
[11:35] Finger OS
    The student union is the
    Lionheart Society's sworn enemy.
[11:38] Finger OS
    Caesar will probably undermine Chu Zihang.
[11:40] Finger OS
    Although we can't influence or bribe Caesar,
[11:43] Finger OS
    I doubt the Gattuso family could, either.
[11:47] Andrew
    Mr. Caesar Gattuso,
    president of the student union,
[11:50] Andrew
    what's your view on this?
[11:52] Andrew
    Is Chu Zihang truly the disciplined,
    rule-abiding person
[11:54] Andrew
    the school makes him out to be?
[11:57] Andrew
    Or can you prove
[11:59] Andrew
    that he's actually a potential dragon?
[12:10] Andrew OS
    After the purge of the Lionheart Society,
[12:12] Andrew OS
    the student union will become the
    largest organization in the College.
[12:16] Andrew OS
    With your Gattuso bloodline, in the future,
[12:19] Andrew OS
    you'll be the leader of the Secret Party.
[12:22] Andrew OS
    Caesar, I believe you will
    make the right choice.
[12:26] Caesar
    Ladies and gentlemen,
[12:28] Caesar
    honorable investigators,
[12:30] Caesar
    and esteemed members of the jury...
[12:32] Caesar
    First of all, I swear by the name of Gattuso
[12:36] Caesar
    that everything I say here is the truth.
[12:38] Caesar
    Regarding Chu Zihang...
[12:41] Caesar
    He... is an outstanding
    student at our school.
[12:44] Andrew
    Huh?
[12:45] Caesar
    He is a good classmate to all of us.
[12:47] Caesar
    We are deeply drawn to his charisma.
[12:50] Caesar
    He is refined, gentle, and knowledgeable,
[12:53] Caesar
    an embodiment of all virtues.
[12:56] Caesar
    Not only has he never been violent,
[12:58] Caesar
    but he is always helpful.
[13:00] Caesar
    Even when facing enemies,
    he always maintains restraint.
[13:03] Caesar
    Even as his rival, I can still feel warmth
    and positive energy coming from him.
[13:08] Caesar
    We have many mutual friends.
[13:10] Caesar
    As you can see,
[13:12] Caesar
    my girlfriend is already wearing
    the Lionheart Society's crimson uniform
[13:15] Caesar
    and sitting on this side.
[13:16] Caesar
    This is also the stance of the student union.
[13:21] Caesar
    Over the past few years,
[13:23] Caesar
    Chu Zihang has made tremendous
    contributions to the College.
[13:26] Andrew
    What's happening?
[13:26] Caesar
    He has always successfully completed
    every mission assigned to him.
[13:28] Andrew
    Didn't he swear on his family name?
[13:30] Caesar
    Furthermore, he consistently
    helps his peers grow together,
[13:30] Andrew
    How can he tell such a blatant lie?
[13:33] Parsi
    Caesar doesn't care about his family name,
[13:33] Caesar
    leading the Lionheart Society to
    achieve one miracle after another.
[13:35] Parsi
    nor his family for that matter.
[13:37] Parsi
    If I'd known you were going
    to ask him to testify,
[13:37] Caesar
    He is a role model for everyone
    and my most respected rival.
[13:40] Parsi
    I would've advised against it.
[13:41] Caesar
    Everything I have said reflects the
    consensus of every student at Cassell College.
[13:44] Lu Mingfei
    As expected, the boss
    saves the best for last.
[13:46] Caesar
    This is an irrefutable fact.
[13:51] Blair Bitner
    Mr. Andrew, all your allegations against
    Chu Zihang are hereby dismissed.
[13:57] Blair Bitner
    The students who know him best
[13:59] Blair Bitner
    have also testified that he does not have
    the tendencies the investigation team claims.
[14:04] Blair Bitner
    Therefore, it seems this
    hearing can conclude.
[14:11] Caesar
    What did I just hear?
[14:13] Caesar
    Our esteemed Mr. Blair Bitner
    just said that...
[14:17] Caesar
    I suppose there's no need to say the rest.
[14:24] Classmates
    Wow! We won! We succeeded!
[14:37] Classmate (M)
    Oh, no! Oh, no!
[14:40] Classmate (M)
    That website has placed a new bounty!
[14:42] Classmate (M)
    A dragon named Fenrir is about to
    awaken in the capital of Xinguo.
[14:45] Classmate (M)
    They're recruiting Hunters to slay him,
[14:48] Classmate (M)
    with a bounty of 100,000,000!
[14:53] Blair Bitner
    The Emperor hasn't even awakened yet,
[14:55] Blair Bitner
    and he's already issued a
    pronouncement to the world,
[14:59] Blair Bitner
    asking who will slay him?
[15:01] Classmate (M)
    Someone actually posted a message
    like that on the website?
[15:04] Professor B
    Hunters won't be able to handle that guy.
[15:06] Professor B
    The poster probably expects
    Cassel College to take the job.
[15:12] Chu Zihang
    Everyone.
[15:16] Chu Zihang
    I want to prove myself through action.
[15:18] Chu Zihang
    Under these circumstances, the College will
    inevitably dispatch a specialist to Xinguo.
[15:22] Chu Zihang
    I've carried out a mission
    with Lu Mingfei there before.
[15:25] Chu Zihang
    This time, I request to
    go there again with him.
[15:29] Chu Zihang
    My actions will prove my loyalty.
[15:35] Finger OS
    M-Me? Why me?
[15:38] Finger
    Why would I go on a mission
    with this crazy team? No way!
[15:41] Night Watchman
    As the one and only G-rank, did you
    think graduating would be that easy?
[15:50] Finger
    Threatening me again...
[15:52] Anjou
    Well, may I continue?
[15:55] Anjou
    The three of you here today are
    the true elites of this college.
[15:58] Anjou
    I am deeply honored to inform you
[16:00] Anjou
    that you will be dispatched to
    Xinguo as trainee specialists.
[16:04] Lu Mingfei OS
    Whoa, such a dangerous mission...
    It won't just be the three of us, right?
[16:09] Webber
    The announcement of the
    Dragon Emperor's awakening
[16:11] Webber
    is the greatest crisis
    in the College's history.
[16:14] Webber
    The execution bureau has
    mobilized its entire force.
[16:16] Webber
    Two student teams have also been dispatched,
[16:19] Webber
    the other team being Caesar Gattuso,
    Chen Motong, and Xia Mi.
[16:24] Finger
    Huh? W-Wait, Principal!
[16:26] Finger
    The other team has two aces
    and the king of new students,
[16:29] Finger
    yet our team has just
    one brute and two losers?
[16:32] Anjou
    It wasn't my decision to send Caesar,
[16:34] Anjou
    it was the school board's.
[16:36] Anjou
    Chu Zihang's bloodline remains questionable,
[16:38] Anjou
    so the board insisted on
    sending one more team.
[16:40] Anjou
    Caesar chose Chen Motong and
    Xia Mi as his team members.
[16:45] Finger
    Then, do you have any powerful gear for us?
[16:48] Anjou
    We do.
[16:56] Jurgen
    The Seven Deadly Sins are blades Ye Sheng
    and Sakatoku Aki found in the City of Bronze.
[17:01] Anjou
    That's right. Each blade here
    is forged from recycled metal,
[17:05] Anjou
    with different strengths and toughness.
[17:07] Anjou
    They belong solely to the supreme
    alchemist among the Four Rulers,
[17:10] Anjou
    the Dragon Emperor of Bronze and Flames.
[17:12] Night Watchman
    Why did the Dragon Emperor
    painstakingly forge them?
[17:15] Lu Mingfei OS
    To...
[17:19] Lu Mingfei OS
    slay the others.
[17:20] Anjou
    We suspect Norton used the
    seven blades to judge his brothers.
[17:24] Anjou
    They correspond to the
    seven Emperors' weaknesses.
[17:26] Anjou
    The ancient Hebrew engraved on
    the tangs translates as:
[17:30] Anjou
    "The blood of Emperors
    shall end by the sword."
[17:36] Chu Zihang
    So when he forged this set of blades,
[17:38] Chu Zihang
    he was already counting
    down the lives of his brothers?
[17:40] Anjou
    Yes. Legend says that after the Black
    Emperor consumed the White Empress,
[17:44] Anjou
    he roared in agony, soaring
    to the zenith of the heavens,
[17:47] Anjou
    before diving to the ocean's deepest depths.
[17:49] Anjou
    He broke through the winter's frozen ice,
[17:52] Anjou
    and repeated this seven times.
[17:54] Finger
    Can this thing really slay a Dragon Emperor?
[17:57] Finger
    Especially the smallest blade,
[17:59] Finger
    can it pierce dragon scales?
[18:01] Anjou
    Not right now, because they
    have not yet awakened, but...
[18:14] Anjou
    Now they can.
[18:16] Night Watchman
    All right. Try pulling out the swords,
[18:19] Night Watchman
    starting with Mingfei.
[18:21] Lu Mingfei
    Okay.
[18:22] Night Watchman
    The first one, Luxuria.
[18:35] Night Watchman
    First stage passed. Try the others.
[18:38] Lu Mingfei
    No way. Pulling out the smallest
    one almost finished me off.
[18:41] Night Watchman
    Try again. The second one, Gula!
[18:59] Lu Mingfei
    I-It only moved a little.
[19:01] Night Watchman
    Next, Acedia.
[19:15] Lu Mingfei
    I really... can't do this anymore.
[19:17] Night Watchman
    Looks like this is a bit challenging.
[19:19] Night Watchman
    Next,
[19:20] Night Watchman
    Finger.
[19:23] Finger
    Fellow brothers, prepare to witness the
    power I've cultivated for nine years!
[19:32] Night Watchman
    You pulled three out!
[19:34] Night Watchman
    Impressive bloodline, but...
[19:36] Night Watchman
    his spirit is too weak.
[19:37] Night Watchman
    These things... are...
    too hard to pull out.
[19:42] Night Watchman
    Finally, Chu Zihang.
[19:44] Chu Zihang
    Yes.
[20:15] Finger
    Wow... Impressive.
[20:18] Schneider
    Avaritia.
[20:36] Chu Zihang
    I've... been rejected.
[20:39] Night Watchman
    The exam is over.
[20:41] Night Watchman
    The principal will address those who failed.
[20:43] Night Watchman
    Everyone else, follow me.
[20:46] Anjou
    Here, use this to bandage it.
[20:51] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[20:54] Anjou
    Even Finger managed to
    pull out the third one,
[20:56] Anjou
    yet you were rejected. Why?
[20:58] Chu Zihang
    My bloodline won't return to its
    original purity for another month.
[21:02] Chu Zihang
    And in reality, my bloodline isn't
    as outstanding as the legends claim.
[21:06] Chu Zihang
    Principal, you've already
    guessed that, right?
[21:08] Anjou
    Yes.
[21:10] Anjou
    Most people in the College
    consider you an "A+" rank.
[21:14] Anjou
    But you know the truth.
[21:15] Anjou
    Your exceptional abilities are
    due to you mastering Blood Rage.
[21:19] Anjou
    Your so-called "Unquenchable Golden Pupils"
[21:22] Anjou
    are because you've lost
    control of your bloodline.
[21:26] Anjou
    You know your lifespan won't be long, right?
[21:30] Chu Zihang
    Yes.
[21:32] Chu Zihang
    By the time I realized it,
    it was already too late.
[21:36] Chu Zihang
    The Blood Rage skill is like an abyss.
[21:39] Chu Zihang
    From the day I started using it,
[21:42] Chu Zihang
    I began my descent.
[21:47] Anjou
    We... already know about the accident that
    befell your father six years ago.
[21:52] Anjou
    To this day, it remains a mystery.
[21:55] Anjou
    But if you want to find out
    the truth of your past,
[21:57] Anjou
    you must stay alive.
[21:59] Chu Zihang
    I understand.
[22:01] Chu Zihang
    Everyone wants to live.
[22:02] Anjou
    There's something I want to
    tell you about Blood Rage,
[22:05] Anjou
    because you actually
    do not have all the information.
