Episode 6
**[01:41] Lu Mingfei**
Hey, Brother, did you get
what the College wanted?
**[01:45] Chu Zihang**
I've already handed it over
to the special forces.
**[01:47] Chu Zihang**
They'll get it to the College
through confidential channels.
**[01:49] Lu Mingfei**
I see.
**[01:50] Chu Zihang**
Also, according to the plan, we have
to rush to the airport immediately.
**[01:53] Chu Zihang**
Our flight is at midnight.
**[01:54] Lu Mingfei**
Oh, right. I forgot that we have
to return to the College tonight.
**[01:57] Chu Zihang**
I need to go back and get my passport.
**[01:59] Lu Mingfei**
But, my passport...
**[02:00] Chu Zihang**
The special forces have already
picked up your things.
**[02:02] Chu Zihang**
They'll give them to you at the airport.
**[02:05] Lu Mingfei**
Okay...
**[02:15] Lu Mingfei**
Brother, your injury seems
to be healing quickly.
**[02:18] Chu Zihang**
Blood Rage accelerates
cellular regeneration,
**[02:20] Chu Zihang**
so this injury shouldn't be a problem.
**[02:22] Lu Mingfei**
What is Blood Rage?
**[02:23] Chu Zihang**
It's a technique that instantly enhances
a bloodline through spiritual cultivation.
**[02:28] Chu Zihang**
Even a hybrid can use
Blood Rage to briefly gain strength
**[02:32] Chu Zihang**
nearly on par with a pure-blooded dragon.
**[02:34] Chu Zihang**
It's very useful on dragon-slaying missions.
**[02:38] Lu Mingfei**
I see.
**[02:40] Lu Mingfei**
Hey, do you need me to help you inside?
**[02:42] Chu Zihang**
No, I'm fine.
**[02:53] Lu Mingfei**
Although your injuries have healed,
**[02:56] Lu Mingfei**
you still look tired, Brother.
**[03:03] Lu Mingfei**
Are these the only options around here?
**[03:05] Lu Mingfei**
They'll have to do.
**[03:54] Chu Zihang**
My body should be fine,
**[03:56] Chu Zihang**
and there are no signs of scarring.
**[03:59] Chu Zihang**
My internal organs feel good too,
so everything should be fine.
**[04:04] Chu Zihang**
But this...
**[04:05] Chu Zihang**
This the shard of glass that
got stuck in me during the fight...
**[04:09] Chu Zihang**
I should be able to remove it.
**[04:15] Chu Zihang**
*My blood is highly corrosive,*
**[04:17] Chu Zihang**
*so it can't let any drip in this room.*
**[04:32] Chu Zihang (internal)**
*I don't look any different,*
**[04:35] Chu Zihang (internal)**
*just a little pale.*
**[04:50] Chu Zihang (internal)**
*In this house, I'm a different person:*
**[04:55] Chu Zihang (internal)**
*a good student,*
**[04:57] Chu Zihang (internal)**
* obedient, one who loves playing*
* basketball and reading,*
**[05:01] Chu Zihang (internal)**
*with no bad habits or violent tendencies.*
**[05:05] Chu Zihang (internal)**
* I'm the "model son"*
* my parents are proud of.*
**[05:07] Chu Zihang (internal)**
* If they saw these bloody things,*
* they probably wouldn't be so proud.*
**[05:13] Chu Zihang (internal)**
*They would think they had raised a monster.*
**[05:32] Chu Zihang (internal)**
* I guess I won't have time to say*
* goodbye before I go.*
**[05:35] Chu Zihang (internal)**
* Mom is just like that,*
* dead to the world in her sleep.*
**[05:41] Aunt Tong**
Zihang, are you back?
**[05:43] Aunt Tong**
Huh? Are you leaving?
**[05:46] Chu Zihang**
Yes, I have a night flight.
**[05:48] Aunt Tong**
Why didn't you tell your parents?
**[05:51] Aunt Tong**
We could've had dinner together
and let the driver take you.
**[05:54] Chu Zihang**
I told them yesterday that
Dad is busy tonight.
**[05:57] Aunt Tong**
That's right. Your dad is also having
dinner with a business partner tonight.
**[06:01] Chu Zihang**
Don't let my mom sleep in the living
room in the future. She'll catch a cold.
**[06:05] Aunt Tong**
I didn't, she was just
cooking in the kitchen
**[06:09] Aunt Tong**
and asked me to buy
vinegar at the supermarket.
**[06:10] Aunt Tong**
When I came back, she was asleep.
**[06:12] Chu Zihang**
Cooking?
**[06:13] Chu Zihang**
Oh, no!
**[06:15] Aunt Tong**
Huh? What...
**[06:18] Aunt Tong**
Oh, Zihang...
**[06:25] Aunt Tong**
Are you okay?
**[06:29] Chu Zihang**
What is this?
**[06:31] Aunt Tong**
This... This looks like...
**[06:33] Aunt Tong**
Oh, I see, your mom was making dumplings!
**[06:36] Chu Zihang**
Dumplings?
**[06:36] Aunt Tong**
Yes.
**[06:37] Aunt Tong**
Your mom must have thought you
were going on a long trip,
**[06:39] Aunt Tong**
so she wanted to make dumplings for you.
**[06:55] Chu Zihang**
It can't be eaten anymore.
**[06:56] Chu Zihang**
Let's just throw it away.
**[07:01] Aunt Tong**
All right.
**[07:02] Chu Zihang**
Aunt Tong, remember to buy this
low-fat milk for my mom every day.
**[07:05] Chu Zihang**
She won't drink anything else.
**[07:07] Chu Zihang**
Add a sugar cube and microwave
on low for five minutes.
**[07:10] Chu Zihang**
Make sure she drinks it
every night before bed.
**[07:12] Aunt Tong**
Yes, I know.
**[07:14] Aunt Tong**
Same as always.
**[07:17] Chu Zihang**
I'm leaving.
**[07:19] Aunt Tong**
Aren't you going to say goodbye to your mom?
**[07:20] Chu Zihang**
I'm not used to saying goodbye.
**[07:22] Chu Zihang**
Every time she sees me off,
she gives me a big kiss.
**[07:36] Caesar**
Come in.
**[07:40] Parsi**
Master, the principal said you
might need something to drink.
**[07:44] Caesar**
The principal called me
here for the board meeting.
**[07:48] Caesar**
Is everyone here?
**[07:49] Parsi**
The last one has just arrived.
**[07:56] Caesar**
The last one?
**[07:58] Caesar**
There are seven board members,
so one must be missing.
**[08:02] Parsi**
I've never seen the last one in attendance,
**[08:04] Parsi**
and I don't know his name.
**[08:06] Parsi**
His identity is top secret.
**[08:10] Caesar**
They spend loads of money
on the College every year,
**[08:12] Caesar**
but they never exercise their authority.
**[08:15] Caesar**
These board members are really interesting.
**[08:18] Parsi**
The board members didn't invest
in Cassel College for the money.
**[08:20] Caesar**
So, why did they do it, then?
**[08:23] Parsi**
They've all come this far on the blood
of dragons, and their goals are...
**[08:28] Parsi**
far-reaching.
**[08:32] Caesar**
Are they also members of this generation's
secret party, the Council of Elders?
**[08:35] Parsi**
No. The Council of Elders
is a hidden organization,
**[08:37] Parsi**
and the school board is a visible one.
**[08:40] Parsi**
The principal is the executive
chosen by the school board.
**[08:43] Caesar**
So the Council of Elders is
still the highest authority?
**[08:47] Caesar**
Not necessarily.
**[08:48] Caesar**
The Council of Elders and the school board
are like Yingguo's upper and lower houses.
**[08:51] Caesar**
Who holds the power depends
on the situation.
**[08:54] Caesar**
Right now, power is indeed concentrated
in the hands of the principal,
**[08:57] Caesar**
who also has significant influence
over the school board.
**[09:01] Caesar**
So, facing these powerful people,
**[09:05] Caesar**
am I supposed to just wait here?
**[09:06] Caesar**
Wait for them to call me in?
**[09:09] Parsi**
Today, all the powerful
people are here for you.
**[09:12] Parsi**
They can't wait to see you.
**[09:16] Caesar**
Powerful people...
**[09:35] Anjou**
Now that everyone is present,
**[09:38] Anjou**
we will officially begin this year's annual
meeting of the Cassel College school board.
**[09:52] Anjou**
Frost, there's no need to continue with the
old tradition of tapping on the table to speak.
**[09:56] Anjou**
This is an internal meeting.
**[09:58] Frost**
Some rules can't be changed arbitrarily.
**[10:02] Frost**
Is the Bronze Report ready?
**[10:05] Anjou**
Yes, it's the stack of papers
in front of each of you.
**[10:13] Charlotte**
The Emperor of Bronze and Flames... is dead?
**[10:23] Frost**
Dead? Anjou, is this report true?
**[10:28] Frost**
No one has ever verified the
death of a Dragon Emperor.
**[10:32] Anjou**
Absolutely true.
**[10:34] Frost**
Please present the evidence.
**[10:39] Anjou**
The evidence is in this box.
**[10:42] Anjou**
Everyone is free to examine it.
**[10:44] Old man twirling Buddhist beads**
I'll do it.
**[10:49] Old man twirling Buddhist beads**
The Philosopher's Stone?
**[10:51] Elizabeth**
The great miracle of alchemy,
the Philosopher's Stone?
**[10:54] Elizabeth**
Anjou, what do you mean by presenting it?
**[10:57] Anjou**
Evidence. Evidence that
the Dragon Emperor is dead.
**[11:00] Middle-aged man**
No way. The Philosopher's Stone is precious,
**[11:03] Middle-aged man**
but it doesn't prove anything.
**[11:05] Anjou**
Maybe someone else can explain
it more convincingly.
**[11:08] Anjou**
Charlotte, you're an expert in alchemy.
**[11:11] Anjou**
Would you mind explaining it to everyone?
**[11:13] Charlotte**
Sure.
**[11:15] Charlotte**
The Philosopher's Stone is the
crystallization of spiritual elements.
**[11:18] Charlotte**
Because it contains impurities,
**[11:20] Charlotte**
it usually appears as a
dark, coarse crystal.
**[11:23] Charlotte**
This object may resemble
the Philosopher's Stone,
**[11:25] Charlotte**
but it's actually another substance
refined from pure fire elements.
**[11:29] Elizabeth**
Please explain how to
refine pure fire elements.
**[11:31] Charlotte**
The only method I know for refining the four
elements of earth, water, wind, and fire
**[11:35] Charlotte**
is to use the bones of the
corresponding dragon kings.
**[11:38] Charlotte**
Therefore, this fire element was refined from
the bones of the Emperor of Bronze and Flames.
**[11:44] Old man twirling Buddhist beads**
Dragon Emperor Norton.
**[11:46] Anjou**
Not Norton,
**[11:47] Anjou**
but his brother, the
Dragon Emperor Constantine.
**[11:51] Frost**
Crystals made from Constantine's bones?
**[11:56] Frost**
Anjou, are you saying that
Constantine is permanently dead?
**[12:00] Frost**
He'll never be resurrected?
**[12:05] Anjou**
The Dragon Emperor's
resurrection is a secret,
**[12:08] Anjou**
and unfortunately, I can't
share it with everyone yet.
**[12:10] Anjou**
But according to my research,
**[12:12] Anjou**
only after a Dragon Emperor is truly dead
**[12:14] Anjou**
can his bones be used as
material for refinement.
**[12:17] Anjou**
Otherwise, they're just specimens.
**[12:19] Frost**
Your research?
**[12:21] Frost**
Anjou, how do you prove your point?
**[12:26] Anjou**
Yes, my words alone won't convince you.
**[12:29] Anjou**
But Charlotte, you should
be able to vouch for me.
**[12:35] Charlotte**
Hm...
**[12:39] Charlotte**
Anjou is right.
**[12:41] Charlotte**
The Dragon Emperor Constantine...
**[12:43] Charlotte**
is truly dead.
**[13:00] Elizabeth**
So, Anjou, you've found a
way to kill a Dragon Emperor.
**[13:04] Elizabeth**
Can this method be used
on other Dragon Emperors?
**[13:06] Anjou**
Of course, but the process
is still quite challenging.
**[13:10] Charlotte**
The Emperor of Bronze and Flames
has been proven to be a set of twins.
**[13:13] Charlotte**
Does this mean all four emperors are twins?
**[13:15] Anjou**
That should be the case.
**[13:17] Frost**
The key point: where are Constantine's
remains currently kept?
**[13:22] Anjou**
In a secure location.
**[13:23] Frost**
A location you deem secure,
**[13:25] Frost**
or one we all deem secure?
**[13:28] Anjou**
Let's put it this way: only two people in
the entire world can access them.
**[13:33] Frost**
And who are they?
**[13:34] Anjou**
Me, and the person who built the vault.
**[13:37] Frost**
So, among us, you're the only one who
can access the Dragon Emperor's remains.
**[13:42] Frost**
Is that right, Mr. Principal?
**[13:45] Anjou**
That's right.
**[13:46] Frost**
Cassel College doesn't belong to you.
**[13:48] Frost**
You are merely the manager we put in place.
**[13:50] Anjou**
I think I manage it quite well.
**[13:51] Frost**
So?!
**[13:51] Anjou**
So you should trust me.
**[13:53] Elizabeth**
I agree with Anjou.
**[13:54] Elizabeth**
He has demonstrated strong leadership
on all previous missions.
**[13:58] Frost**
An expert dragon slayer and an excellent
manager are two different things.
**[14:02] Elizabeth**
None of this matters.
**[14:03] Elizabeth**
Our goal is the Dragon Emperors.
Nothing else matters!
**[14:06] Frost**
The dragon bones should be given to
the school board for safekeeping!
**[14:08] Anjou**
They are a treasure.
**[14:10] Anjou**
If I hand them over to the school board,
what will you, the Gattuso family, do with them?
**[14:14] Frost**
Watch your tongue, Anjou!
**[14:16] Frost**
I'm speaking for the school board,
**[14:19] Frost**
not the Gattuso family!
**[14:22] Anjou**
Yes, Mr. Frost, you can fire me
on behalf of the school board.
**[14:27] Anjou**
But until then, I won't turn
the dragon bones over to you.
**[14:30] Old man twirling Buddhist beads**
Anjou! You're overstepping your authority!
**[14:33] Elizabeth**
Who should keep the dragon bones
is not on today's agenda!
**[14:35] Charlotte**
But it's true that only the school board
has the authority to dispose of them!
**[14:38] Frost**
Coup! Anjou, you're throwing a coup!
**[14:40] Elizabeth**
Let's end this topic.
**[14:41] Elizabeth**
Compared to the great cause of dragon slaying,
these are trivial matters!
**[14:43] Old man twirling Buddhist beads**
Calm down! This is school board meeting!
**[14:45] Frost**
Regardless, the dragon bones
belong to the school board!
**[15:07] Anjou**
This issue won't reach a
conclusion, so let's end it here.
**[15:12] Anjou**
You can't fire me,
**[15:14] Anjou**
because you can't find anyone to replace me.
**[15:17] Charlotte**
Indeed, no one has been able
to replace Anjou thus far.
**[15:21] Charlotte**
Besides the students,
**[15:22] Charlotte**
he also has the absolute support
of the execution bureau's elite.
**[15:25] Anjou**
Thank you.
**[15:30] Frost**
Anjou, let's put aside the ownership
of the dragon bones for now.
**[15:34] Frost**
This is a letter from
the Council of Elders to you,
**[15:38] Frost**
expressing their ideas about the future.
**[15:41] Anjou**
A love letter?
**[15:44] Frost**
But since the future hasn't arrived yet,
you can read it later.
**[15:49] Anjou**
Since it's not a love letter,
there's no rush to read it.
**[15:53] Anjou**
All right, let's move on to the next topic:
**[15:56] Anjou**
the selection of candidates
for the Nibelungen Plan.
**[16:24] Anjou**
Mr. Caesar Gattuso.
**[16:31] Anjou**
Mr. Caesar Gattuso has just been unanimously
re-elected as student council president.
**[16:35] Anjou**
His GPA is 2.7, which is a bit low,
**[16:38] Anjou**
similar to the former president's
university grades.
**[16:40] Anjou**
He once received a warning for
**[16:42] Anjou**
organizing a beer swimming competition
in the pool during winter,
**[16:45] Anjou**
causing the pool to freeze and crack.
**[16:47] Caesar**
I wanted to use champagne,
**[16:49] Caesar**
but it was difficult to buy so many
bottles of the same brand at once.
**[16:52] Anjou**
There's only one reason he's sitting here:
**[16:55] Anjou**
he killed Dragon Emperor Norton.
**[17:05] Anjou**
Caesar, I'm sorry I can't reveal
the names of all the board members.
**[17:09] Anjou**
Except for your uncle.
**[17:11] Anjou**
Oh, right. Aren't you going
to say hello to your uncle?
**[17:14] Caesar**
I wasn't summoned here because a
Gattuso is on the board, was I?
**[17:19] Frost**
You were summoned because
of the Nibelungen Plan.
**[17:23] Caesar**
Nibelungen?
**[17:25] Caesar**
The "Land of the Dead" in Norse mythology?
**[17:27] Caesar**
Why such a code name?
**[17:29] Anjou**
The Bronze City is Nibelungen,
**[17:31] Anjou**
and you, Caesar, faced Dragon
Emperor Norton in that battle.
**[17:35] Anjou**
What was it like?
**[17:46] Caesar**
Fear!
**[17:48] Caesar**
Fear that penetrated to the bone.
**[17:51] Anjou**
You speak the truth.
**[17:53] Anjou**
There is no better way
to train a dragon slayer
**[17:55] Anjou**
than have one experience
fear on the battlefield.
**[17:58] Anjou**
Only the strongest will
and the finest bloodline
**[18:02] Anjou**
can maintain dignity before the
Dragon Emperor and ultimately slay him!
**[18:05] Caesar**
So?
**[18:06] Anjou**
So, Cassel College must immediately
train the elite of the elite,
**[18:09] Anjou**
the heroes of heroes.
**[18:11] Anjou**
Because the most critical
moment is approaching.
**[18:13] Caesar**
The most critical moment?
**[18:15] Anjou**
Mythology has foretold that the Dragon Emperors
on the other three thrones will awaken.
**[18:21] Anjou**
And finally, the great
black dragon will awaken.
**[18:28] Caesar**
A mass awakening?
**[18:31] Caesar**
How exciting.
**[18:33] Anjou**
We must prepare our army
and generals before then.
**[18:36] Anjou**
We must select the best candidates
from those with superior bloodlines
**[18:40] Anjou**
and devote all our efforts to their training.
**[18:43] Caesar**
Are you talking about me?
**[18:44] Elizabeth**
You're one of the candidates.
**[18:46] Caesar**
If by "devoting all our efforts to training,"
you mean giving me more classes and training,
**[18:51] Caesar**
then forget it.
**[18:53] Caesar**
My GPA is only 2.7.
**[18:54] Frost**
No.
**[18:56] Frost**
What we need to strengthen is your bloodline.
**[18:59] Frost**
With a strengthened bloodline,
**[19:01] Frost**
it's possible to possess two or more Yanlings,
**[19:04] Frost**
and even hybrids can surpass Dragon Emperors.
**[19:07] Caesar**
They can rival the Four Dragon Emperors?
**[19:09] Anjou**
That's right! This is the Nibelungen Plan.
**[19:13] Frost**
The Council of Elders have already found
a way to strengthen the bloodline.
**[19:18] Frost**
This is a tremendous gift.
**[19:21] Frost**
Accepting it means gaining power,
**[19:24] Frost**
but it also means a great sacrifice.
**[19:27] Frost**
Caesar, are you willing?
**[19:31] Caesar**
Why does this feel a bit like... wedding vows?
**[19:34] Frost**
Caesar!
**[19:35] Caesar**
Enduring hardships and
dying is nothing special.
**[19:37] Caesar**
If that's what it takes to
reach the pinnacle of hybrids,
**[19:40] Caesar**
there are lots of people at
the College who'd be willing to accept.
**[19:42] Caesar**
Why choose me?
**[19:43] Anjou**
Because you're good enough.
**[19:45] Caesar**
Why not Chu Zihang?
**[19:46] Anjou**
He has no experience in
slaying Dragon Emperors.
**[19:48] Caesar**
Why not Lu Mingfei?
**[19:49] Anjou**
Mingfei is still a newcomer,
**[19:50] Anjou**
and many still think it was my
mistake to give him an S-Rank.
**[19:54] Caesar**
But he once severely wounded
Dragon Emperor Constantine in front of you.
**[19:57] Caesar**
Principal, you might randomly give S-Ranks,
**[20:00] Caesar**
but in close combat with a Dragon Emperor,
**[20:02] Caesar**
I don't believe you'd entrust
your life to a worthless person.
**[20:05] Caesar**
So, that reasoning doesn't hold up.
**[20:08] Anjou**
Hm... You're right.
**[20:10] Anjou**
For this candidate, your uncle insisted
that ability isn't just about bloodline,
**[20:14] Anjou**
but also about leadership.
**[20:16] Anjou**
Among the new generation, Caesar,
you're indeed a brilliant leader.
**[20:20] Anjou**
Even Chu Zihang can't compare,
**[20:22] Anjou**
so your uncle believes that
**[20:23] Anjou**
only you deserve to be the top
candidate for the Nibelungen Plan.
**[20:31] Frost**
Caesar, do you understand now?
**[20:34] Frost**
Your family has always had
selfless love and hope for you!
**[20:43] Caesar**
Uncle,
**[20:45] Caesar**
have you ever lost the most
important person in your life?
**[20:48] Frost**
Huh?
**[20:49] Caesar**
Oh, I forgot.
**[20:51] Caesar**
People like you, Uncle, don't have
anyone important in their lives.
**[20:55] Caesar**
So, you wouldn't understand
**[20:57] Caesar**
that people who have experienced such things
often become particularly stubborn.
**[21:02] Caesar**
Sorry, everyone.
**[21:03] Caesar**
I refuse your offer.
**[21:06] Frost**
Caesar! You...
**[21:07] Caesar**
If there's nothing else,
I will take my leave.
**[21:25] Chu Zihang**
What's this?
**[21:26] Lu Mingfei**
Ah, I figured since you'd been on a mission,
**[21:29] Lu Mingfei**
you haven't had dinner.
**[21:31] Lu Mingfei**
So I bought some food nearby,
**[21:33] Lu Mingfei**
but at this hour,
all I could get was hamburgers.
**[21:36] Chu Zihang**
You got these for me?
**[21:38] Lu Mingfei**
Let's eat together on the way.
**[21:42] Chu Zihang**
Thanks.
**[22:01] Chu Zihang Mom**
Zihang...
**[22:04] Chu Zihang Mom**
Have a safe trip.
