Episode 11
**[01:35] Principal**
During last night's battle,
**[01:35] Sign**
Episode 11: Dangerous Mission
**[01:36] Principal**
both the Student Union and the
Lionheart Society performed splendidly,
**[01:40] Principal**
but for this operation, I'd like you to
pick members from the Student Union.
**[01:48] Caesar**
Thank you.
**[01:50] Caesar**
I'll happily accept this mission.
**[01:54] Principal**
Take Lu Mingfei.
**[01:56] Principal**
He'll be helpful.
**[02:00] Caesar**
S-rank, welcome to Operation Bronze.
**[02:05] Lu Mingfei**
Huh?
**[02:05] Caesar**
After two months of training,
you'll be heading to Shin.
**[02:10] Lu Mingfei**
Shin?
**[02:11] Lu Mingfei**
I'm really good at screwing
things up! Not to brag, though!
**[02:16] Caesar**
Can you dive?
**[02:18] Caesar**
If not, practice.
**[02:20] Caesar**
Nono will help you.
**[02:22] Caesar**
Isn't dragon slaying a pro's job?!
**[02:25] Caesar**
I've just learned what the world's really like,
and would love to participate.
**[02:29] Caesar**
But I have no talent or abilities.
**[02:32] Caesar**
I'll really slow you down!
**[02:36] Caesar**
During last night's battle, you proved
that you are one of the elite.
**[02:41] Caesar**
The purity of your blood more than
makes up for any lack of experience.
**[02:45] Lu Mingfei**
Listen, kid.
**[02:46] Lu Mingfei**
Look at how much my old legs are
shaking before you say that!
**[02:51] Caesar**
It's only natural for an S-rank to
undertake dangerous missions.
**[02:55] Caesar**
And the Executor Unit doesn't
have enough people.
**[02:58] Lu Mingfei**
There are 360 people in my class.
**[02:59] Lu Mingfei**
If you hire 300 dragonslayers a year,
**[03:02] Lu Mingfei**
and you've been doing it for 20 years,
there must be 6,000 dragon slayers out there.
**[03:06] Lu Mingfei**
And of them, at least 200 must be A-rank.
**[03:09] Lu Mingfei**
Which means there's no way you
can't have enough people!
**[03:13] Caesar**
It's an honor, though.
**[03:16] Caesar**
Only two first-years have been chosen to go.
**[03:20] Lu Mingfei**
Shouldn't you ask the two of
them before you choose them?
**[03:24] Caesar**
All right, if that's what you want.
**[03:26] Caesar**
Lu Mingfei, I want to ask you to go on a
dangerous mission that's a high honor.
**[03:29] Caesar**
How about now?
**[03:30] Lu Mingfei**
I refuse!
**[03:32] Caesar**
Sorry, I don't get to make the call.
**[03:34] Caesar**
It was the principal who chose you.
**[03:38] Boy**
Hey, Lu Mingfei, the other
first-year said yes.
**[03:42] Boy**
You're S-rank, so you should be just fine.
**[03:45] Lu Mingfei**
What moron said yes?
**[03:48] Lu Mingfei**
Are you in cahoots?
**[03:49] Boy**
No, I'm not...
**[03:51] Rin**
Correct, I said yes.
**[03:53] Lu Mingfei**
What are you doing here?
**[03:55] Rin**
I'm on the team.
**[03:56] Lu Mingfei**
You look like you prefer being alone...
but you're on the team.
**[03:59] Rin**
I go on more of these missions than most.
**[04:02] Rin**
And I prefer being with everyone.
**[04:04] Lu Mingfei**
Did you really think this
through? You might die!
**[04:07] Rin**
We're here to protect mankind.
**[04:10] Rin**
I know the risks.
**[04:12] Lu Mingfei**
I came 'cause of the free tuition!
**[04:15] Lu Mingfei**
If you want to protect mankind,
have fun. It's not my problem...
**[04:18] Rin**
We all danced together, right?
**[04:20] Rin**
Let's experience danger together, too.
**[04:23] Lu Mingfei**
Who cares if we danced together?
**[04:24] Lu Mingfei**
I don't want to put myself in danger.
**[04:26] Caesar**
Well, isn't this a surprise?
And a disappointment.
**[04:30] Caesar**
S-rank, I had high hopes for you.
**[04:33] Caesar**
But you say you came here
for the free tuition?
**[04:36] Caesar**
You want to live a normal life?
**[04:38] Caesar**
Then quit the school, have your
memory erased, and go home.
**[04:42] Caesar**
Have them come up with a story about your
time in An, and go back to your old life.
**[04:48] Caesar**
Leave. And don't take your
student ID with you.
**[04:52] Lu Mingfei**
Damn it...
**[04:54] Caesar**
What is it?
**[04:57] Nono**
You're being a little
hard on him, aren't you?
**[04:59] Nono**
You're saying all this stuff
about protecting humanity,
**[05:02] Nono**
but not everyone in this world is elite.
**[05:05] Nono**
And how can you protect the
world if you look down on it?
**[05:15] Nono**
Decide for yourself what you'll do.
**[05:18] Nono**
As long as you're with the
Student Union, I'll protect you.
**[05:22] Nono**
But if you're quitting, that ends today.
**[05:39] Lu Mingfei**
It's not... that I don't want to do it.
**[05:45] Lu Mingfei**
I just think I need to say this first...
**[05:50] Lu Mingfei**
If you insist I go,
**[05:52] Lu Mingfei**
don't get mad at me if
I just get in the way!
**[05:57] Caesar**
Sure.
**[05:59] Caesar**
I've got high hopes for you.
**[07:12] Caesar**
Two Months Later
**[07:19] Finger**
Look, you've been staring
at yourself for 15 minutes.
**[07:23] Finger**
How long are you gonna keep
standing there like that?
**[07:26] Lu Mingfei**
I was just thinking about
how stupid I look.
**[07:29] Lu Mingfei**
The mission itself is dumb,
but I'm even dumber for accepting it!
**[07:33] Finger**
Right, right.
**[07:34] Finger**
So who's your partner?
**[07:35] Finger**
Rin? Nono?
**[07:37] Lu Mingfei**
Probably Rin.
**[07:38] Lu Mingfei**
Nono will be diving with Caesar, I bet.
**[07:41] Lu Mingfei**
They're a couple.
**[07:42] Lu Mingfei**
Then it's Nono.
**[07:44] Lu Mingfei**
The rules of the Executor Unit say
that couples can't dive together.
**[07:48] Lu Mingfei**
But Ye Sheng and Aki were a couple, right?
**[07:52] Finger**
What are you talking about?
**[07:54] Finger**
Those two were as pure as the driven snow.
**[07:56] Finger**
They never asked each other out, or even
asked what each other felt about them.
**[07:59] Finger**
That's one reason they were allowed
to stay together, though.
**[08:05] Lu Mingfei**
I feel kind of bad.
**[08:07] Finger**
Don't get so down. Rin's cute too, right?
**[08:10] Finger**
She's so short.
**[08:11] Finger**
You don't know what'll happen...
**[08:12] Lu Mingfei**
I don't feel bad for myself.
**[08:17] Lu Mingfei**
I was wondering...
**[08:18] Lu Mingfei**
You've been held back for four years.
Why haven't you dropped out?
**[08:23] Lu Mingfei**
Is there a reason?
**[08:28] Finger**
I'm still here because I haven't been able
to overcome the loneliness in my heart.
**[08:41] Lu Mingfei**
Senpai...
**[08:44] Finger**
And...
**[08:46] Finger**
Food's important, right?
**[08:48] Finger**
The cafeteria here rocks!
**[08:49] Lu Mingfei**
What do you mean you're
staying here for the food?
**[08:52] Lu Mingfei**
You might get dragged on a
deadly mission at any time.
**[08:54] Lu Mingfei**
And what if you die?
**[08:55] Lu Mingfei**
Aki and Ye Sheng...
**[08:57] Lu Mingfei**
What?
**[08:59] Finger**
Oh, I get it. You're scared to die?
**[09:06] Lu Mingfei**
Yes, I am.
**[09:09] Lu Mingfei**
I don't have a yanling, either.
**[09:12] Finger**
Don't worry! I can't help with the mission,
but I'll be supporting you from here.
**[09:18] Lu Mingfei**
Well, uh, thanks.
**[09:20] Lu Mingfei**
You'll be getting drunk and eating snacks
and thinking good thoughts, huh?
**[09:25] Finger**
Hey, don't underestimate
me 'cause I'm F-rank.
**[09:29] Finger**
I can use a database that
only the S-ranks can use.
**[09:33] Finger**
It's risky, though.
**[09:34] Finger**
But anyway, even though we may be apart
physically, I'll be with you in spirit!
**[09:42] Finger**
What?
**[09:44] Lu Mingfei**
No... You're a weird guy, but sometimes
you can be a really good friend.
**[09:53] Lu Mingfei**
Do you hang out with me just to kill time?
**[09:57] Finger**
If we losers can't stick together,
there's no hope or dreams in this world!
**[10:05] Finger**
I don't want the world to be
such a cold place! Do you?
**[10:09] Finger**
We can understand each other
because we're both losers.
**[10:12] Lu Mingfei**
Here.
**[10:14] Finger**
This is your... S-rank student ID?
**[10:18] Finger**
The legendary ultimate credit card,
with a spending limit in the millions!
**[10:24] Lu Mingfei**
I may never come back.
**[10:27] Lu Mingfei**
If you hear I die, use it to go shopping.
**[10:32] Lu Mingfei**
Before they turn it off.
**[10:34] Lu Mingfei**
I won't be around to care
about my credit rating.
**[10:38] Lu Mingfei**
I know what you're thinking.
**[10:40] Lu Mingfei**
"Why is he going when
he knows he might die?"
**[10:44] Lu Mingfei**
Actually, there's kind of a reason...
**[10:48] Lu Mingfei**
But it doesn't matter.
**[10:51] Lu Mingfei**
It doesn't matter at all.
**[10:53] Finger**
Hello? I'll take the mushroom soup
and two steak fillets, medium.
**[10:56] Lu Mingfei**
You're supposed to be moved,
and then try to make me feel better!
**[11:00] Lu Mingfei**
Why are you ordering the most
expensive stuff off the menu?
**[11:04] Finger**
Oh, and the fois gras and sablefish, too.
**[11:06] Lu Mingfei**
Are you blowing all my money
when I'm trying to be nice?
**[11:09] Finger**
You said to use the card!
**[11:10] Lu Mingfei**
I said if I died!
**[11:13] Finger**
You know you're going to die
and you're still going, right?
**[11:15] Lu Mingfei**
There's a chance I might not!
**[11:18] Finger**
That's right.
**[11:20] Finger**
Of course, there's a chance you'll survive.
**[11:23] Finger**
Particularly if you're a loser.
We have good luck.
**[11:26] Finger**
Got that?
**[11:33] Lu Mingfei**
You're making me feel better, right?
**[11:36] Finger**
I just told you.
**[11:38] Finger**
We losers gotta stick together.
**[11:47] Samson**
My lord, revived once more...
**[11:49] Samson**
Come to our lands once more... with me.
**[12:09] Norton**
Samson, after 2,000 years,
we finally meet again.
**[12:16] Norton**
Thank you for watching over
this place for so long.
**[12:19] Norton**
Come home, with me.

Slows down the flow of time for an area with himself at the center.
Observers outside the area see those within the area as moving
multiple or dozens of times slower.
The ability allows him to extend time.
**[12:32] Principal**
*Well, Professor Klein?*
**[12:35] Klein**
As of tonight, February 12th, the Maniya is
anchored outside the Qiu Shan dam.
**[12:40] Klein**
We will begin Operation Bronze immediately.
**[12:42] Klein**
The crew is all ready.
**[12:46] Klein**
Give the order to proceed,
please, Principal.
**[12:49] Principal**
Begin the operation. Best of luck.
**[12:54] Klein**
You all heard that, yes?
**[12:55] Klein**
Operation Bronze has been approved.
**[12:57] Klein**
You will now be treated not as students,
but professional dragonslayers.
**[13:03] Klein**
You are elite fighters,
brought together for this operation.
**[13:09] Lu Mingfei**
*Where's Chu Zihang?*
**[13:09] Klein**
You've done many training exercises
to prepare for this mission,
**[13:11] Lu Mingfei**
*Wait, why did they bring*
**[13:11] Klein**
but tonight, for the first time,
**[13:13] Klein**
I will reveal its true scope.
**[13:13] Lu Mingfei**
* somebody useless like me,*
* instead of an elite?*
**[13:15] Klein**
Let's all work together to
make this mission a success.
**[13:18] Klein**
The Maniya's equipment has been
upgraded since last time,
**[13:21] Klein**
to the point where it could
fight off a battlecruiser.
**[13:23] Klein**
No matter what kind of creature
attacks us, we'll be fine.
**[13:26] Caesar**
By "creature," do you mean the dragon
that attacked Ye Sheng and Aki?
**[13:31] Klein**
That was one of the
Dragon Emperor's greatest servants.
**[13:33] Klein**
He was likely protecting the palace.
**[13:36] Klein**
Descendants of the Dragon Emperor of
Bronze and Flames
**[13:39] Klein**
cannot be easily harmed by metal or fire.
**[13:41] Klein**
Norma says the chance we'll encounter
him is a few percent at best. Not high.
**[13:45] Klein**
But just in case, we've prepared
three Storm torpedoes.
**[13:50] Klein**
These Storm torpedoes contain
alchemical warheads,
**[13:53] Klein**
which contain 8,000 alchemical
bombs laid out in a spiral.
**[13:57] Klein**
When the warhead explodes,
**[13:58] Klein**
these 8,000 warheads will
spread out like a blossoming flower,
**[14:01] Klein**
tearing it apart.
**[14:03] Lu Mingfei**
*Wow, the equipment folks are crazy.*
**[14:06] Klein**
The diving team will be carrying
a single special bomb.
**[14:10] Klein**
They will enter the palace and destroy it.
**[14:13] Lu Mingfei**
Um, Professor, why destroy it?
**[14:16] Lu Mingfei**
It's supposed to be full of treasure.
**[14:19] Klein**
Our current technology isn't enough
for us to attain the entire palace.
**[14:23] Klein**
And if it falls into the Dragon Emperor's
hands, something terrible will happen.
**[14:29] Lu Mingfei**
*I've gotta carry a bomb? I might really die!*
**[14:32] Klein**
In accordance with Executor Unit rules,
**[14:34] Klein**
Lu Mingfei and Nono will form a pair as B Team.
**[14:37] Klein**
Caesar and Rin will be A Team.
**[14:39] Klein**
A Team will do the detonation.
**[14:42] Lu Mingfei**
Rin, I believe in you! Good luck!
**[14:45] Rin**
I'm sorry. Today is a special day,
and I can't dive.
**[14:50] Lu Mingfei**
No, it'll be fine! Believe in yourself!
**[14:53] Lu Mingfei**
And the moon's beautiful tonight!
It's perfect for a dive!
**[14:57] Lu Mingfei**
So...
**[14:58] Rin**
I can't.
**[14:59] Rin**
Grandma told me not to let it get cold.
**[15:03] Klein**
That's a woman's right,
and it should be upheld.
**[15:05] Klein**
B Team will handle the explosive, then.
**[15:07] Nono**
Understood.
**[15:10] Lu Mingfei**
Hey, Nono, are you also...
**[15:13] Nono**
Shut up. We're diving together.
**[15:17] Lu Mingfei**
Seriously?
**[15:19] Rin**
Lu Mingfei, believe in yourself!
**[15:21] Rin**
And the moon's beautiful tonight.
It's perfect for a dive.
**[15:23] Rin**
Hahah.aha.
**[15:24] Lu Mingfei**
Hey, are you getting me back for that?
**[15:26] Rin**
I am, yes. It's easy to tell, right?
**[15:28] Lu Mingfei**
Your grandma really did
tell you that, right?
**[15:30] Lu Mingfei**
If she didn't...
**[15:31] Nono**
So, are you diving or not? I am.
**[15:34] Lu Mingfei**
Why am I seeing Rin's
grandmother behind you?
**[15:37] Lu Mingfei**
She's running at top speed!
Is this really okay?
**[15:40] Nono**
I'm asking...
**[15:41] Nono**
What are you doing?
**[15:48] Lu Mingfei**
All right. I'll dive.
**[15:53] Nono**
Watch your oxygen meter.
**[15:55] Nono**
You've got about three hours.
**[15:58] Nono**
Your data cable is also your lifeline.
**[16:01] Nono**
If something happens,
they'll use it to pull you up.
**[16:05] Lu Mingfei**
Um...
**[16:06] Nono**
What?
**[16:07] Lu Mingfei**
No, um... I have a question.
**[16:10] Lu Mingfei**
I'm a little curious as to whether
we'll run into a dragon or not...
**[16:13] Nono**
They just said it was unlikely.
**[16:15] Lu Mingfei**
I'm thinking of a specific dragon.
**[16:18] Lu Mingfei**
It's the brother of the dead Dragon Emperor.
I think its name is Norton?
**[16:21] Klein**
It's possible, but even
if you do, it's fine.
**[16:24] Klein**
He'll be hibernating now.
**[16:26] Lu Mingfei**
Hibernating? He's asleep?
**[16:28] Klein**
The Brass Vessel we brought back is
the Dragon Emperor's funerary urn.
**[16:32] Klein**
That urn is where the
Dragon Emperor creates its new body.
**[16:36] Klein**
But Norton escaped a long time ago.
**[16:38] Klein**
We don't know why, but when
he fled, he had a human body.
**[16:43] Klein**
So to become a true Dragon Emperor,
**[16:46] Klein**
he needs to find another place
to rest and recuperate.
**[16:50] Klein**
Why does he want to go back
to being a Dragon Emperor?
**[16:52] Lu Mingfei**
*To use his ultimate yanling.*
**[16:54] Lu Mingfei**
"Torch Dragon." He wants revenge.
**[16:57] Lu Mingfei**
For his brother, you see.
**[16:59] Nono**
The ultimate yanling?
**[17:00] Klein**
Yes. The Four Rulers once
used powerful yanlings.
**[17:06] Klein**
They have the power to destroy the world,
**[17:10] Klein**
but a human body would be
annihilated by their use.
**[17:14] Klein**
So they rest, recuperate,
and hatch into dragons.
**[17:19] Klein**
* We don't want that palace to be*
* a place where Norton can rest.*
**[17:23] Klein**
*That's the goal of Operation Bronze.*
**[17:25] Nono**
Roger. We'll begin the mission.
**[17:28] Klein**
I'll be praying for your success, then.
**[17:32] Crew**
Your current depth is
50 meters. All clear.
**[17:35] Crew**
Head down until you reach the rift.
**[17:38] Nono**
Roger. Entering the rift,
**[17:40] Nono**
and heading deeper.
**[17:41] Lu Mingfei**
I'm scared of the dark.
**[17:42] Nono**
Shut up.
**[17:43] Lu Mingfei**
*Okay.*
**[17:44] Nono**
*Currently depth is 80 meters.*
**[17:46] Crew**
Roger.
**[17:48] Crew**
*That wall up ahead is your first goal.*
**[17:50] Crew**
*The bronze wall.*
**[17:54] Lu Mingfei**
How many thousands of years
has it been down here?
**[17:58] Lu Mingfei**
It's got a human face!
**[17:59] Lu Mingfei**
Do we put the key into
its mouth or something?
**[18:01] Klein**
*You have the key.*
**[18:03] Klein**
The key's blood is within the
vial you carry, Lu Mingfei.
**[18:07] Klein**
* Put it into the gate guard's mouth,*
* and it will open right up.*
**[18:12] Lu Mingfei**
Okay, Senpai.
**[18:15] Lu Mingfei**
Why me?
**[18:23] Lu Mingfei**
It's not alive, right?
**[18:29] Nono**
Don't struggle! I'll help you!
**[18:33] Nono**
Listen, breathe deep!
**[18:39] Nono**
You're fine. Calm down.
**[18:46] Nono**
I said you're fine.
**[18:53] Nono**
What are you doing?
**[18:54] Lu Mingfei**
I'm going back! I'm badly wounded!
**[18:56] Nono**
It's just a scratch. Look.
**[19:00] Lu Mingfei**
You're right.
**[19:01] Lu Mingfei**
It's just a scratch.
**[19:03] Nono**
Sheesh... I've got some waterproof bandages.
**[19:05] Nono**
Big sister will patch you up.
**[19:10] Lu Mingfei**
Thanks so much, Big Sister.
**[19:13] Nono**
I don't feel any gratitude.
**[19:21] Nono**
It's chanting in the dragon language.
**[19:53] Nono**
Where am I?
**[19:58] Lu Mingfei**
Are we in Hell? I don't see anybody...
**[20:02] Nono**
You talk too much even when you're dead.
**[20:04] Nono**
Norma, what's the air quality in here?
**[20:07] Norma**
Good.
**[20:10] Lu Mingfei**
Is that safe?
**[20:11] Nono**
I want to conserve oxygen.
**[20:13] Nono**
You do the same, quickly.
**[20:14] Lu Mingfei**
Okay.
**[20:17] Lu Mingfei**
The air's great down here.
**[20:19] Lu Mingfei**
I can't believe we get fresh air down here!
**[20:20] Nono**
That's strange.
**[20:21] Nono**
Norma, this place was sealed for ages.
**[20:24] Nono**
The air should be stale. So why?
**[20:26] Norma**
The most likely explanation is that
the palace's owner has returned,
**[20:30] Norma**
and activated it once more.
**[20:33] Nono**
Owner... do you mean...
**[20:36] Norma**
Dragon Emperor Norton.
**[20:38] Norma**
He has already returned.
