[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.

    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.
