Lu Mingfei is finally back.
**[01:52] Guard**
Are you homeless?
**[01:55] Lu Mingfei**
What do you mean homeless?

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!

**[08:48] Finger**
Okay, let's try it.
**[08:50] Finger**
Put your card in here.
**[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,
**[20:09] Guderian**
the world you think you know is just a
single grain of rice lying in the wilderness.
**[20:15] Guderian**
Welcome to the real world.
**[20:18] Guderian**
Welcome... to Cassel College.
