    Episode 1: Travels
[01:56] Lu Mingfei
    I'm just asking where the CC Line is.
[01:59] Lu Mingfei
    Look at my IC card!
[02:00] Guard
    Sorry, I've never even heard of a CC Line.
[02:04] Lu Mingfei
    That's impossible.
[02:05] Guard
    If you don't have any money, contact the
    Shin embassy and have them help you.
[02:11] Lu Mingfei
    H-Help me?
[02:14] Lu Mingfei
    I'm not homeless! I have money!
[02:17] Lu Mingfei
    See?
[02:18] Lu Mingfei
    Money...
[02:20] Lu Mingfei
    Not a lot of money, though.
[02:24] Lu Mingfei
    That's what I get for believing them.
[02:27] (Flashback) Senpai
    Once you leave the
    arrival lobby of the airport,
[02:30] (Flashback) Senpai
    head straight to the subway station.
[02:32] (Flashback) Senpai
    There's a special train
    that runs on the CC line,
[02:34] (Flashback) Senpai
    which will take you straight
    to Cassel College.
[02:37] Lu Mingfei
    I think I've seen them somewhere...
[02:40] Lu Mingfei
    What's going on, though, really?
[02:42] Lu Mingfei
    There is no CC Line!
[02:44] Lu Mingfei
    And I don't have much money.
[02:46] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe I should get a hamburger.
[02:47] Man/Woman
    Homeless cannot enter.
[02:50] Lu Mingfei
    Wait! I'm not homeless! I have money!
[02:53] Homeless
    Hey! Homeless friend!
[02:56] Lu Mingfei
    No homeless! No friend!
[02:58] Lu Mingfei
    I have money!
[03:00] Lu Mingfei
    I have money!
[03:01] Homeless
    Money! Great!
[03:02] Homeless
    One coin! Just one coin!
[03:05] Lu Mingfei
    What is wrong with the
    people of this country?
[03:08] Lu Mingfei
    No! I am poor! No money!
[03:15] Finger
    Are you from Shin?
[03:17] Finger
    What's your name?
[03:18] Lu Mingfei
    I don't speak foreign languages!
[03:22] Finger
    I'm amazed you tried to look
    like you were from Fuku, then.
[03:25] Lu Mingfei
    Eh, sinpal, chonun sasir!
[03:28] Finger
    Okay, hang on, that's enough.
[03:29] Finger
    You think I'm homeless, don't you?
[03:31] Lu Mingfei
    You're not?
[03:32] Finger
    Let me introduce myself, then.
[03:33] Finger
    I'm Finger Von Frings!
[03:35] Finger
    I'm a student, but right now I'm in big
    trouble through no fault of my own!
[03:40] Finger
    I see you're a kindred spirit since
    you're clearly in trouble, as well.
[03:43] Finger
    So give me money for a soda.
[03:48] Finger
    You're from Cassel College?
[03:52] Lu Mingfei
    Yeah. What if I am?
[03:56] Finger
    Aw, why didn't you just say so?
[03:59] Finger
    I'm your senpai.
[04:02] Lu Mingfei
    Why would you tell a lie like
    that for a single can of soda?
[04:04] Lu Mingfei
    Even if you're homeless,
    don't you have any pride?
[04:09] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[04:11] Lu Mingfei
    An IC card?
[04:12] Lu Mingfei
    The CC Line?
[04:14] Lu Mingfei
    Are you really my senpai?
[04:16] Lu Mingfei
    I'm Lu Mingfei.
[04:17] Lu Mingfei
    I'm from Shin.
[04:18] Finger
    Now you understand, right?
[04:19] Lu Mingfei
    We're...
[04:20] Finger
    That I'm not a bad guy.
[04:29] Lu Mingfei
    What year are you, Senpai?
[04:32] Finger
    Eighth year.
[04:33] Finger
    Normally you graduate after
    your fourth or fifth year,
[04:36] Finger
    but I've flunked four years in a row.
[04:38] Finger
    I'm the most famous person
    in the school now.
[04:43] Lu Mingfei
    Have you ever ridden on the CC line?
[04:45] Finger
    Yeah. The line's hidden and
    there's no set schedule.
[04:48] Finger
    The school's in the mountains
    and there are no roads in or out.
[04:51] Finger
    So the CC Line is pretty convenient.
[04:53] Finger
    If your level was high enough, your
    assigned professor would come to get you.
[04:57] Finger
    But if your level is low, you've gotta wait.
[05:00] Finger
    They'll show up when they feel like it.
[05:04] Lu Mingfei
    You've been there for eight years,
    but your level isn't high enough?
[05:08] Finger
    I wish they'd show more respect
    for their senpai, too.
[05:12] Finger
    But you know how the world is lately.
[05:18] Lu Mingfei
    So, Senpai...
[06:06] Villagers
    Hurry! Hurry!
[06:13] Lu Mingfei
    S-Senpai?
[06:21] Mingze
    When the bell tolls, your past
    will come chasing after you.
[06:27] Mingze
    Are you ready?
[06:31] Mingze
    The tip of the bronze mountain melts,
[06:34] Mingze
    the seas boil,
[06:36] Mingze
    the backbone of the earth is exposed,
[06:38] Mingze
    and the storm destroys all.
[06:42] Mingze
    Are you ready?
[06:46] Lu Mingfei
    Um...
[06:48] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, you want something to eat?
[06:50] Lu Mingfei
    Or should I call someone?
[06:55] Mingze
    No matter how many years pass,
    you're always so nice, Brother.
[07:00] Mingze
    I really do feel pity for you.
[07:06] Finger
    Grab your stuff! Hurry! Hurry!
[07:08] Finger
    The train's coming!
[07:09] Finger
    Hurry!
[07:18] Lu Mingfei
    Was that really a dream?
[07:20] Staff
    Passengers boarding the CC-1000 Train,
[07:24] Staff
    please have your tickets and luggage
    ready and head to the station.
[07:29] Staff
    New students are requested
[07:31] Staff
    to have their entry pass visible.
[07:31] Lu Mingfei
    Is that a ghost?
[07:33] Lu Mingfei
    Does the train go to Hell?
[07:35] Finger
    Hey, sir!
[07:37] Staff
    I thought I wouldn't see you this year.
[07:40] Finger
    You're late.
[07:41] Finger
    Did my level go down again?
[07:43] Staff
    It's F now.
[07:45] Staff
    Even though you started at A.
[07:48] Finger
    I'm that much of a wimp, huh?
[07:49] Lu Mingfei
    Hello. I'm Lu Mingfei, a new student.
[07:52] Lu Mingfei
    I came from Shin.
[07:54] Staff
    Lu Mingfei.
[08:02] Staff
    You're Lu Mingfei, the new S-rank student?
[08:06] Finger
    S-rank?
[08:09] Finger
    You're the same level as the principal!
    Why didn't somebody come to get you?
[08:16] Lu Mingfei
    C-Come to get me?
[08:18] Lu Mingfei
    Don't ask me.
[08:20] Staff
    Professor Guderian was
    supposed to come get you,
[08:22] Staff
    but he went to Saki and has yet to return.
[08:25] Finger
    But if you put your card into the
    turnstile and it lets you through,
[08:27] Finger
    The school will see that
    information immediately.
[08:29] Staff
    And then a special train,
    just for you, will come.
[08:33] Lu Mingfei
    What?!
[08:34] Lu Mingfei
    So I've wasted all these hours?!
[08:37] Finger
    Why are you talking like that?
[08:39] Lu Mingfei
    I picked it up from you!

[08:52] Lu Mingfei
    Okay.
[08:55] AI
    Welcome, Lu Mingfei.
[09:00] AI
    Please stand back. The CC-1000 is now arriving.
[09:14] Lu Mingfei
    The CC line is real...
[09:25] Finger
    I guess S-ranks get a special welcome.
[09:36] Men
    Welcome, Lu Mingfei.
[09:39] Men
    Welcome, Lu Mingfei.
[09:42] Men
    This way, Lu Mingfei.
[09:45] Lu Mingfei
    Z-Z-Z-Z-Zombies?
[09:47] Finger
    Don't get so scared.
[09:49] Finger
    They're alive.
[09:50] Finger
    They were called to give
    you a more lively welcome.
[09:53] Staff
    This is all my voice is capable of.
[09:56] Lu Mingfei
    Voice? What's he talking about?
[10:16] Lu Mingfei
    So this is the CC-1000
    special express train...
[10:22] Guderian
    Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
[10:24] Guderian
    Lu Mingfei!
[10:28] Guderian
    I was so worried you wouldn't come!
[10:31] Guderian
    I'm so glad... I'm so glad!
[10:40] Lu Mingfei
    Thank you.
[10:51] Guderian
    Mingfei,
[10:53] Guderian
    I'll be giving you the last instructions
    you need before we arrive at the school.
[10:56] Guderian
    Would you like something to drink?
[10:59] Finger
    Tequila with a slice of lemon!
[11:01] Guderian
    Finger, you are to leave the room,
[11:04] Guderian
    and under no circumstances return
    until I'm done with my instructions.
[11:09] Finger
    Instructions? Got it.
[11:11] Finger
    Make sure you drink. It'll be useful.
[11:13] Finger
    Believe in your senpai.
[11:16] Guderian
    Mingfei, this is a non-disclosure agreement.
[11:19] Guderian
    Sign this first.
[11:21] Guderian
    We can't have what I'm about
    to tell you getting out.
[11:28] Lu Mingfei
    I can't read this at all.
[11:30] Lu Mingfei
    Guess I'll sign it anyway.
[11:31] Lu Mingfei
    All done.
[11:34] Guderian
    I'm not trying to threaten
    you with these instructions.
[11:37] Guderian
    But some of the kids do get scared.
[11:39] Lu Mingfei
    Scared?
[11:41] Guderian
    The college's courses last a
    total of four to five years.
[11:45] Guderian
    We're accredited by the An national
    department of education.
[11:48] Guderian
    But our curriculum is an
    extremely unusual one.
[11:50] Guderian
    More specifically, what we
    research is extremely unusual.
[11:54] Guderian
    We research...
[12:02] Guderian
    dragons.
[12:04] Lu Mingfei
    D-Dragons?
[12:07] Guderian
    Mingfei, do you know about dragons?
[12:10] Lu Mingfei
    Um...
[12:11] Lu Mingfei
    Dragons are legendary creatures.
[12:15] Guderian
    Dragons are considered mystical creatures
    in every country in the world.
[12:18] Guderian
    They are objects of awe and fear.
[12:20] Guderian
    But nobody can explain why they are.
[12:23] Guderian
    Why do you think we are researching them?
[12:26] Guderian
    To... kill them!
[12:30] Lu Mingfei
    Kill dragons?
[12:33] Guderian
    Few people know this,
[12:36] Guderian
    but mankind has been at war with the
    dragons for thousands of years.
[12:39] Guderian
    The dragons have always played a
    hidden role in our race's history.
[12:44] Guderian
    After generations of work and sacrifice,
[12:47] Guderian
    brave heroes finally succeeded in slaying
    the reawakened Dragon Emperor.
[12:51] Guderian
    Cassel College's goal is to train new heroes
[12:54] Guderian
    who will follow in their footsteps
    and fight the dragons!
[13:02] Lu Mingfei
    Oh... I've figured it out.
[13:07] Lu Mingfei
    Professor Guderian is... probably crazy!
[13:09] Guderian
    Murder! Murder! Kill the dragons!
[13:11] Lu Mingfei
    So Cassel College is a home
    for the deranged... How sad.
[13:14] Guderian
    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
[13:17] Lu Mingfei
    Um, Professor Guderian, I think you
    might need to see a medical professional.
[13:22] Lu Mingfei
    Your mind may not be...
[13:23] Lu Mingfei
    What happened?!
[13:24] Lu Mingfei
    Are we passing through a mountain?!
[13:26] Mingze
    Brother, what the Professor is saying is true.
[13:33] Lu Mingfei
    You...
[13:34] Lu Mingfei
    You're on board, too?
[13:36] Lu Mingfei
    Why didn't I run into you?
[13:38] Mingze
    I got on at the same time you did.
[13:40] Mingze
    I'm going to Cassel College, too, you see.
[13:44] Lu Mingfei
    You talk kind of like a ghost.
[13:48] Mingze
    If I'm a ghost,
[13:50] Mingze
    then what you just heard is a ghost story.
[13:54] Mingze
    Now, look outside.
[14:05] Mingze
    Welcome.
[14:08] Mingze
    To the land of dragons.
[14:15] Mingze
    Nidhogg, the first dragon,
    the Black Dragon Emperor.
[14:19] Mingze
    was killed upon his throne
    several millennia ago.
[14:25] Mingze
    His throne was a mountain that was
    eternally covered in snow and ice.
[14:30] Mingze
    And his killers left his corpse
    to lie on the mountain's peak.
[14:35] Mingze
    And they called that day the
    beginning of the First Era.
[14:40] Mingze
    He was history's oldest emperor.
[14:45] Mingze
    And on the day he died, the people cheered.
[14:51] Mingze
    Wonderful.
[14:53] Mingze
    If that had not happened,
    this world would not exist.
[15:01] Lu Mingfei
    Are you connected to this
    Black Dragon Emperor somehow?
[15:06] Mingze
    No.
[15:10] Mingze
    He deserved to die.
[15:14] Mingze
    It was a good thing.
[15:26] Guderian
    Mingfei, you're awake!
[15:28] Lu Mingfei
    Where are we?
[15:29] Lu Mingfei
    I thought the train overturned!
[15:31] Guderian
    No, you simply passed out
    during our lectures.
[15:35] Guderian
    I've seen kids get scared before,
    but no one's ever reacted like you!
[15:39] Guderian
    Are you that scared of dragons?
[15:42] Lu Mingfei
    No...
[15:45] Lu Mingfei
    I'm not scared of dragons!
[15:46] Lu Mingfei
    I'm scared of being taken somewhere weird!
[15:50] Guderian
    You think we're weird?
[15:52] Lu Mingfei
    Yes!
[15:53] Guderian
    Well, actually...
[15:54] Masashi
    Professor, I brought it.
[15:58] Guderian
    Excellent. Come here, I'll show you proof.
[16:02] Masashi
    Hello, Mingfei. I'm Masashi Toyama.
[16:05] Masashi
    It's been 40 years since
    I've met an S-rank genius.
[16:10] Lu Mingfei
    Forty years?
[16:12] Lu Mingfei
    I-Is that person still at the school?
[16:14] Masashi
    He shot himself in the head.
[16:16] Guderian
    Let's not talk about that.
[16:17] Guderian
    Mingfei, look. I have two pieces of evidence.
[16:20] Guderian
    Both of them are highly classified and
    I've gotten special permission to borrow them.
[16:24] Guderian
    Look.
[16:26] Lu Mingfei
    A scale?
[16:27] Guderian
    Not just any scale.
[16:29] Guderian
    Oh, of course. Do you know how to use a gun?
[16:31] Lu Mingfei
    A gun?
[16:36] Lu Mingfei
    I learned in military training.
    I'm comfortable with one.
[16:39] Guderian
    Good, then.
[16:40] Guderian
    Go ahead, shoot the scale with this gun.
[16:46] Lu Mingfei
    But I don't have a license to carry one.
[16:48] Guderian
    You don't need that here!
[16:52] Lu Mingfei
    Okay.
[16:53] (Flashback) Voice
    Keep your grip even. Hold it tight.
[16:54] Voice
    Line up the front and rear
    sights with your eyes.
[16:55] (Flashback) Voice
    Rest your index finger against the trigger.
[16:56] Voice
    Finger on the trigger.
[17:03] Masashi
    Professor, S-ranks are supposed to
    have superior physical abilities!
[17:08] Lu Mingfei
    G-Guys, isn't that scale a little too hard?
[17:13] Guderian
    It's a dragon scale.
[17:15] Guderian
    It was found in an old
    city in the year 1900.
[17:19] Guderian
    And after Mennec Cassel brought
    it home, they realized...
[17:23] Lu Mingfei
    No, this has to be some high-tech thing.
[17:27] Guderian
    You don't need to believe after just that.
[17:28] Guderian
    Look at my next piece of evidence.
[17:30] Guderian
    This was found in Ei in the year 1796.
[17:34] Guderian
    It was swallowed by a python
    before it could hatch,
[17:38] Guderian
    but a local farmer killed the snake
    and removed it from its stomach.
[17:42] Masashi
    It's hard to kill a dragon.
[17:44] Masashi
    Especially the noble first and second races.
[17:47] Masashi
    Even if you can destroy their bodies,
    you can't destroy their souls.
[17:51] Masashi
    They'll come back to life.
[17:53] Guderian
    Well, Mingfei? This sleeping dragon child
    should convince you, right?
[17:59] Lu Mingfei
    This is a figure, right?
[18:02] Lu Mingfei
    It's a well-made one, though!
[18:04] Guderian
    It's not a figure!
[18:05] Guderian
    Could any artist make something so perfect?
[18:08] Guderian
    Take a closer look!
    Look at it from every angle!
[18:17] Guderian
    What is it?
[18:18] Lu Mingfei
    Nothing. I just happened to see something...
[18:21] Lu Mingfei
    Like it...
[18:23] Lu Mingfei
    It woke up?!
[18:27] Guderian
    What? What's going on? It's revived!
[18:28] Masashi
    What's going on?
[18:29] Masashi
    This has never happened before!
[18:31] Masashi
    This is shocking! Incredible!
[18:33] Guderian
    It's breathing fire!
[18:35] Guderian
    Dragonfire! It wasn't supposed to revive today!
[18:37] Masashi
    Is this Lu Mingfei's doing?
[18:38] Masashi
    Did the call of the
     dragon's blood wake it up?
[18:49] Masashi
    It went back to sleep.
[18:52] Guderian
    If I hadn't strengthened
    the container two years ago,
[18:55] Guderian
    we would've been in big trouble.
[18:58] Masashi
    It's a miracle that it revived so fast!
[19:01] Guderian
    Mingfei! You're so amazing! Mingfei!
[19:08] Guderian
    Mingfei?
[19:12] Guderian
    Mingfei, are you okay?
[19:14] Guderian
    Mingfei?
[19:17] Lu Mingfei
    I'm not okay.
[19:19] Lu Mingfei
    Everything I thought was true
    is collapsing before my eyes...
[19:26] Guderian
    Let's take a walk, then.
[19:28] Guderian
    You need some fresh air.
[19:33] Lu Mingfei
    Professor, can I withdraw from the academy?
[19:38] Guderian
    You've signed the contract,
    so we'd have to wipe your memory.
[19:42] Lu Mingfei
    Wipe my memory?
[19:45] Lu Mingfei
    Would that make me stupid?
[19:46] Guderian
    It might!
[19:48] Guderian
    If you go back with no memories,
[19:50] Guderian
    you'll have an awful time
    getting into college.
[19:54] Lu Mingfei
    That's a pretty obvious threat.
[19:57] Lu Mingfei
    Fine.
[19:59] Lu Mingfei
    I'll stick it out a while longer.
[20:01] Guderian
    Mingfei,
[20:04] Guderian
    the world is far larger
    than you can imagine.
[20:07] Guderian
    Compared to what it really is,
