    Episode 16: The End of Battle
[02:04] Mingze
    You're on equal footing for now, but you will
    be at a disadvantage if this drags on too long.
[02:10] Mingze
    Dragons, after all, don't get tired.
[02:14] Lu Mingfei
    I know that.
[02:16] Mingze
    He's trying to bide his time,
    waiting for a chance to finish me.
[02:26] Mingze
    What's wrong?
[02:27] Lu Mingfei
    It's quiet.
[02:31] Lu Mingfei
    Like...
[02:33] Lu Mingfei
    I'm in outer space.
[02:36] (Flashback) Nono
    The real challenge every
    diver faces is loneliness.
[02:40] (Flashback) Nono
    The deeper you dive, the more you're
    faced with the fear that you might die.
[02:47] Lu Mingfei
    Death...
[02:51] Lu Mingfei
    Even if I disappeared from
    the face of the Earth,
[02:53] Lu Mingfei
    it wouldn't make a difference, would it?
[02:57] Lu Mingfei
    Most of the people who'd mourn me
     would forget about me by dinnertime.
[03:03] Lu Mingfei
    And even the people who'd cry for me...
[03:06] Lu Mingfei
    Someone would console them,
    and they'd recover.
[03:12] Lu Mingfei
    The only person who might
    get really would be Finger.
[03:18] Nono
    He'd have nobody to go to lunch with.
[03:21] Mingze
    Brother...
[03:22] Mingze
    Does this hurt you?
[03:25] Lu Mingfei
    What does that mean?
[03:26] Mingze
    You're trying to save the world,
[03:29] Mingze
    and nobody feels like they need you.
[03:31] Mingze
    If you're despairing of this world,
    all the better for me.
[03:35] Mingze
    Just say that you are,
    and I'll take your life right now.
[03:40] Lu Mingfei
    What am I supposed to be sad about?
[03:43] Lu Mingfei
    I've never even had a girlfriend!
[03:44] Lu Mingfei
    So I need to kill the Dragon Emperor,
    for the sake of my future girlfriend!
[03:49] Mingze
    You're afraid of your friends
    on the boat being hurt, right?
[03:53] Mingze
    Then you need to fight.
[03:55] Mingze
    The Yanling sealing is only temporary.
[03:57] Mingze
    Listen carefully. You need to aim
    for Norton himself, not the dragon.
[04:03] Lu Mingfei
    So I was right about that.
[04:05] Lu Mingfei
    But first, I need to find the dragon.
[04:09] Lu Mingfei
    Fraheger Torht.
[04:11] Lu Mingfei
    Black wind, become my eyes.
[04:15] Lu Mingfei
    Sickle Weasel. Full area!
[04:24] Lu Mingfei
    It's so loud!
[04:25] Lu Mingfei
    The static is too strong.
    I can't hear the sound I need to hear!
[04:29] Mingze
    Focus.
[04:30] Mingze
    Why are you fighting?
[04:32] Mingze
    If you have a strong emotion,
    it will see you through.
[04:35] Lu Mingfei
    What do you mean, a strong emotion?
[04:37] Lu Mingfei
    I don't care what happens to this world.
[04:40] Lu Mingfei
    I just want to save Nono.
[04:44] Lu Mingfei
    And I just don't want to let my
    comrades die in a place like this!
[05:00] Lu Mingfei
    Sickle Weasel... tell me where he is.
[05:08] Lu Mingfei
    Sickle Weasel. Return.
[05:15] Lu Mingfei
    Found you.
[05:51] Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang!
[05:53] Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang, what are you doing here?
[05:55] Lu Mingfei
    Do you remember me?
[06:06] Mingze
    Brother, why are you so sentimental?
[06:10] Mingze
    Well, whatever.
[06:11] Mingze
    Just like I promised... I'll help you.
[06:15] Mingze
    Now take the sword.
[06:34] Mingze
    With the loss of his brother,
    his power has been halved.
[06:36] Mingze
    He's fused, but not truly awakened.
[06:39] Mingze
    Thus, it's trivial to kill him.
[06:44] Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang... Lao Tang.
[06:48] Lao Tang
    It's good news for you, though!
[06:49] Lao Tang
    If you get in, you can get
    out of that shitty house.
[06:53] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang, you're the only person
    who's happy about that.
[06:56] Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang!
[06:58] Lao Tang
    I'm like your big brother, basically. Right?
[07:03] Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang... I... I really...
[07:08] Both
    Lao Tang...
[07:08] (Flashback) Both
    Lu Mingfei?
[07:09] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    What are you doing here?
[07:14] Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang...
[07:18] Lao Tang
    Hey Mingfei, how's it going?
[07:20] Lao Tang
    You eatin' all right?
[07:22] Lao Tang
    Come on, snap out of it.
[07:23] Lao Tang
    Pray.
[07:24] Lao Tang
    There's a lot of different
    energies at play in this world.
[07:28] Lao Tang
    Your feelings and prayers
    are part of those energies.
[07:31] Lao Tang
    So don't worry.
[07:34] Lao Tang
    They'll be fine, okay?
[07:36] Lao Tang
    Oh? Hello?
[07:38] Lao Tang
    The connection's bad.
[07:39] Lao Tang
    I've got a job to do.
[07:41] Lao Tang
    I'll call you back.
[07:48] Lu Mingfei
    Thank you, Lao Tang.
[07:56] Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang's eyes were locked
    on me the whole time...
[07:59] Lu Mingfei
    And then, the darkness swallowed him up.
[08:04] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe he wasn't looking at me.
[08:11] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe he just wanted to see
    the sky one last time.
[08:20] Caesar
    Nono! Nono!
[08:22] Caesar
    She's not waking up!
[08:24] Caesar
    What's going on?
[08:25] Man
    Her breathing and pulse are stable.
[08:27] Man
    Blood pressure is normal, too.
[08:29] Man
    There's nothing to worry about.
     Nono is fine.
[08:34] Girl
    She's awake! Nono's awake!
[09:11] Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang...
[09:17] Lu Mingfei
    Rin?
[09:18] Rin
    Can you swim?
[09:21] Lu Mingfei
    I don't know.
[09:23] Rin
    I'll help you.
[09:24] Lu Mingfei
    Th-Thanks...
[09:27] Rin
    In exchange, buy me an
    extremely expensive dinner.
[09:30] Lu Mingfei
    Do you... eat a lot?
[09:35] Mai
    Looks like it's a happy ending.
[09:40] Mai
    He's still alive even after the torpedo.
[09:43] Mai
    The Ira sword is really the only
    thing that'll kill him, huh?
[09:47] Mai
    It's terrifying how strong
    his life energy is.
[09:50] Mai
    But that ends here.
[09:51] Mai
    The boss has prepared a special round for you.
[09:54] Mai
    Take it.
[10:11] Mai
    Mission complete.
[10:13] Mai
    Lu Mingfei's alive.
[10:16] Mai
    Norton, the Dragon Emperor of
    Bronze and Flames, has been annihilated.
[10:28] Rin
    Where's Chu Zihang?
[10:29] Man
    He landed at a nearby heliport.
[10:32] Man
    He's being treated while he
    waits for his next order.

[10:47] Principal
    This is good tea.
[10:48] Principal
    Try some.
[10:49] Lu Mingfei
    Okay.
[10:51] Lu Mingfei
    I don't know a lot about tea.
[10:54] Principal
    You earned perfect scores in
    all your first-semester classes.
[10:57] Principal
    Congratulations.
[10:58] Principal
    Not many students are capable
    of that on their own.
[11:03] Lu Mingfei
    Is it that hard?
[11:06] Principal
    I'm sure that your first real dragon
    hunt was a difficult one.
[11:12] Principal
    But it is fortunate that
    you got to participate.
[11:15] Principal
    Now all that's left is your
    essay on your experiences.
[11:17] Principal
    How's this for a theme?
    "The Paradox of the Four Ruler Twins"?
[11:23] Lu Mingfei
    Sounds really complicated.
[11:26] Lu Mingfei
    I don't know if I can pull it off.
[11:28] Principal
    That's not true.
[11:30] Principal
    You've proven a thesis that's
    existed for many years.
[11:33] Principal
    The Four Rulers created by the
    Black Dragon Emperor Nidhogg are,
[11:37] Principal
    in fact, eight dragons in all.
[11:39] Principal
    Upon each throne sits a pair of twins.
[11:42] Principal
    Why did he make them twins?
[11:44] Principal
    So that each would keep the other in check?
[11:47] Principal
    Or so if he lost one heir,
     he'd have a spare?
[11:54] Lu Mingfei
    Sounds very... academic.
[11:57] Lu Mingfei
    I'm more the physical labor type.
[12:00] Principal
    Any questions? I don't mind.
[12:07] Lu Mingfei
    Why do the Dragon Emperors take human form?
[12:11] Principal
    I'm sure that you pictured
     dragons as huge monsters.
[12:16] Principal
    But if a dragon appeared in human form,
    you would be far less cautious.
[12:24] Principal
    Most humans would.
[12:31] Principal
    His name is Ronaldo Tang.
[12:33] Principal
    The name is meaningless, of course.
[12:36] Principal
    He spent some time in an orphanage
    after the death of his adopted parents.
[12:41] Principal
    After dropping out of high school,
     he moved to the slums
[12:44] Principal
    and started making his
    living doing day labor.
[12:46] Principal
    He would donate it to the orphanage that
    raised him, so he was constantly out of money.
[12:52] Principal
    I was aware of this information before
    the mission, but I didn't say anything.
[12:58] Principal
    I knew you two were friends.
[13:02] Lu Mingfei
    Why did he become the Dragon Emperor?
[13:07] Principal
    He always was the Dragon Emperor.
[13:11] Principal
    The Ice Sea Scrolls say that he lived
    in a bronze palace in the north.
[13:17] Principal
    But in the country of Shin,
    he came to serve a certain general,
[13:19] Principal
    was caught in a war, and died.
[13:22] Principal
    Before his death, the two
    of them made a funerary urn.
[13:26] Principal
    A cocoon to create their new bodies.
[13:29] Principal
    Time passed. The elder brother broke out
    of the cocoon first, but lost his memories.
[13:34] Lu Mingfei
    But he looked like he was in his twenties...
[13:38] Principal
    He was, in fact, over 100 years old.
[13:41] Principal
    He eventually moved to the country
    of An, where he was adopted,
[13:44] Principal
    and the rest is as I just said.
[13:46] Principal
    He was convinced he was human.
[13:52] Principal
    Until he regained his memories.
[13:56] Lu Mingfei
    I thought Dragon Emperors couldn't be killed.
[14:00] Principal
    Normally, no.
[14:02] Principal
    But he was in dire enough straits to
    merge with one of his closest servants.
[14:07] Principal
    Of course, he didn't have time
    to make another urn.
[14:10] Principal
    That was why we were able to kill him.
[14:11] Principal
    If Norton had used his
    Yanling, Ruler's Flames...
[14:16] Principal
    It would've caused an unimaginable
    number of fatalities.
[14:25] Lu Mingfei
    He hated humanity so much?
[14:29] Principal
    It was Constantine.
[14:31] Principal
    He sacrificed his life in
    order to protect Norton.
[14:37] Principal
    And that's why he swore revenge.
[14:41] Principal
    Even without his brother, though,
    his friendship with you would have ended.
[14:46] Principal
    Emotions are simply a burden
    to the Dragon Emperors.
[14:54] Lu Mingfei
    I feel kind of... bad.
[14:59] Principal
    This is a war between
    humanity and the dragons.
[15:03] Principal
    We each have our own roles to play.
[15:13] Principal
    You don't want it?
[15:18] Principal
    All right.
[15:21] Lu Mingfei
    Why?
[15:23] Lu Mingfei
    Why do you hide the existence of the dragons?
[15:25] Principal
    There are several reasons.
[15:27] Principal
    But the biggest is to protect the
    values this world holds dear.
[15:34] Principal
    If the dragons became known and turned
    everything we knew upside down...
[15:38] Principal
    The result would be chaos.
[15:41] Principal
    And we want to prevent that.
[15:44] Principal
    Oh, I have a letter for you.
[15:48] Principal
    Something far better
[15:50] Principal
    than your perfect scores.
[15:50] Sign
    To Lu Mingfei
[15:52] Lu Mingfei
    This is Mom's handwriting.
[15:58] Mom
    Mingfei, we received your report card.
[16:01] Mom
    You're far more talented than your father
    and I were during our first year.
[16:05] Mom
    Right now, I'd like to be beside you,
[16:08] Mom
    shaking your hand and getting
    an autograph from the hero.
[16:13] Mom
    But I can't do that.
[16:14] Mom
    Our mission is running out of time.
[16:18] Mom
    If we leave this place,
    we may run out of time.
[16:21] Mom
    I'm sorry I'm such a failure of a mother.
[16:25] Mom
    But someday, you'll understand.
[16:29] Mom
    We're so proud of you, son, and the
    wonderful first step you've taken.
[16:35] Mom
    We believe in you.
[16:38] Mom
    When you turn 22 and
    graduate Cassel College...
[16:42] Mom
    you, your father and I can all meet.
[16:46] Mom
    Your mom and dad are
    both looking forward to
[16:51] Mom
    seeing you in your gown on graduation day.
[16:57] Mom
    We love you.
[17:00] Mom
    And we always will.
[17:06] Principal
    There are people who see
    how hard you're working.
[17:15] Principal
    And one last thing.
[17:17] Principal
    Follow the school rules. Keep the
    details of this incident secret.
[17:22] Lu Mingfei
    Details? What do you mean details?
[17:26] Principal
    The reports say that Caesar's
    torpedo killed Norton.
[17:31] Principal
    But Chen Motong was also attacked
[17:33] Principal
    by what seems to have been
    a Dragon Emperor underwater.
[17:37] Principal
    I'm quite curious who it
    was that attacked her.
[17:41] Principal
    And why you were spared.
[17:43] Principal
    She was badly injured.
    So how did she recover so quickly?
[17:47] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, well...
[17:51] Lu Mingfei
    Um...
[17:52] Lu Mingfei
    I can't tell him I made
    a deal with the devil!
[17:55] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, well, I...
[17:57] Principal
    No matter what your reasons
    were, I believe in you.
[18:02] Principal
    So I won't ask.
[18:08] Lu Mingfei
    A-All right.
[18:10] Lu Mingfei
    Thank you, Principal.
[18:13] Finger
    What? You had tea with Principal Anjou?
[18:16] Finger
    Do you know what an honor that is?
[18:18] Lu Mingfei
    I don't care about honor.
[18:20] Lu Mingfei
    But I do care about that article
    you just posted about me...

    Return of the Mummy
[18:25] Lu Mingfei
    What's with that header image?
    Is this a joke?
[18:28] Finger
    You do realize you look
    like a mummy, right?
[18:31] Lu Mingfei
    So why does Caesar always look so cool?
[18:33] Lu Mingfei
    Explain!
[18:35] Finger
    You two are different types, right?
[18:37] Finger
    Caesar's the kid who's born to rule.
    And that impression is never going to change.
[18:41] Finger
    Let's open a new path for you!
[18:44] Lu Mingfei
    That's not what I meant! Delete this article!
[18:48] Lu Mingfei
    Who is it?!
[18:49] Lu Mingfei
    I'm busy! What do you want?
[18:53] Caesar
    Hey.
[18:54] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, you surprised me.
[18:57] Lu Mingfei
    I wasn't expecting you, Caesar!
[18:58] Caesar
    I'm doing some cooking.
    Do you have any sugar?
[19:01] Finger
    Here you go.
[19:04] Caesar
    Thank you.
[19:07] Lu Mingfei
    Did his family go bankrupt?
[19:09] Lu Mingfei
    What's he doing in the room across from us?
[19:10] Lu Mingfei
    And why's he doing his own cooking?
[19:12] Finger
    You're overthinking it.
[19:13] Finger
    Borrowing cooking ingredients
    is the first step
[19:15] Finger
    towards building a good relationship
    with your neighbors.
[19:17] Finger
    And...
[19:20] Lu Mingfei
    Did you hear that?
[19:22] Finger
    A katana?
[19:23] Lu Mingfei
    Which means...
[19:25] Finger
    Let's look.
[19:31] Finger
    No way!
[19:32] Finger
    Caesar and Chu Zihang are cooking
    together in the same room!
[19:37] Finger
    Oh, that's right.
[19:38] Finger
    They moved some of the dorm rooms around.
    There's two cute girls that just came.
[19:42] Girl
    President! Are you done cutting the salmon?
[19:45] Girl
    One is Susie, the vice-president
    of the Lionheart Society.
[19:50] Lu Mingfei
    And the other?
[19:52] Finger
    Your senpai, Nono, of course.
[19:55] Lu Mingfei
    Senpai moved here, too?
[19:57] Finger
    It's Valentine’s Day today,
    so they're probably having a party.
[20:01] Finger
    The two presidents came to
    help them out, I assume.
[20:04] Finger
    Oh, did you get any chocolate?
[20:06] Lu Mingfei
    No. I didn't.
[20:09] Nono
    Here, I'll give you one piece.
[20:11] Lu Mingfei
    S-Senpai?
[20:13] Nono
    Here. It's good. I mean it.
[20:15] Lu Mingfei
    Oh...
[20:18] Lu Mingfei
    Thanks.
[20:20] Lu Mingfei
    The first Valentine's Day chocolate
    I've ever recieved in my life!
[20:23] Finger
    Hey, do I get any?
[20:25] Nono
    Go get it yourself.
[20:27] Nono
    We made a mountain of chocolate in our room.
[20:29] Nono
    Come join us.
[20:31] Finger
    A mountain of... chocolate!
[20:42] Nono
    Thank you.
[20:43] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, no...
[20:45] Nono
    You're not going to ask
    what I'm talking about?
[20:48] Lu Mingfei
    Does she... know?
[20:50] Nono
    When I passed out at the dam,
    I was so tired... I wanted to sleep.
[20:56] Nono
    But I could hear you calling for me.
[21:00] Nono
    If you hadn't, I would've gone to sleep...
[21:03] Nono
    And maybe never woken up again.
[21:06] Nono
    So thank you.
[21:09] Lu Mingfei
    Oh...
[21:11] Lu Mingfei
    You don't need to thank me.
[21:13] Lu Mingfei
    Was I annoying, maybe?
[21:15] Lu Mingfei
    Did I interrupt your sleep?
[21:16] Nono
    Not at all.
[21:18] Nono
    I remembered that I had to protect you.
[21:20] Nono
    And realized I couldn't go to sleep.
[21:24] Nono
    Don't be so humble all the time.
[21:26] Nono
    Since when have you been that polite?
[21:32] Nono
    Protect me? She was
    serious about that promise.
[21:37] Girl
    Can you keep an eye on the pizza?
    I'm going to help Chu Zihang.
[21:38] Lu Mingfei
    I thought she was joking, but...
[21:41] Nono
    All right. I'll be right there.
[21:42] Lu Mingfei
    She's given me a place in her heart.
[21:46] Lu Mingfei
    If anything happens to you, Senpai,
    who's going to protect me?
[21:50] Lu Mingfei
    I've got my duty to fulfill, as your lackey!
[21:52] Lu Mingfei
    I can't let you die before I do, right?
[21:57] Nono
    Sounds like something out of a movie.
[22:00] Nono
    Hey, want to join us for pizza?
[22:01] Lu Mingfei
    No. I've got to write this paper.
[22:04] Lu Mingfei
    Have fun.
[22:05] Nono
    Okay.
[22:06] Nono
    See you later.
[22:08] Lu Mingfei
    Yeah, see you.
[22:10] Man
    Lu Mingfei!
[22:12] Man
    This just came to you from overseas.
[22:13] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, thanks.
[22:18] Lu Mingfei
    What is it?
[22:20] Lu Mingfei
    From overseas?
[22:25] Lu Mingfei
    I'm getting déjà vu.
[22:27] Lu Mingfei
    New Message
[22:28] Lu Mingfei
    A message?
[22:30] Lu Mingfei
    "Dear Brother"...
[22:33] Lu Mingfei
    Don't tell me this...
[22:35] Mingze
    Thank you for choosing to use my service.
[22:38] Mingze
    I enjoyed working with you during
    the defeat of Dragon Emperor Norton,
[22:42] Mingze
    and look forward to working
    with you in the future.
[22:45] Mingze
    I've sent you a small present, so that
    you can contact me when you need to.
[22:50] Mingze
    Just reply to this message
    if you need anything.
[22:53] Mingze
    I'll be there the moment you ask me to.
[22:56] Mingze
    Now, as for my payment,
    one quarter of your life...
[23:03] Mingze
    I'm taking it.
[23:09] Mingze
    Your brother, Lu Mingze.
[23:18] Lu Mingfei
    Damn it! I'll snap you in two!
[23:25] Lu Mingfei
    If I break the phone,
    I may never see him again.
[23:31] Lu Mingfei
    Whatever.
[23:33] Lu Mingfei
    I'll keep it.
[23:35] Lu Mingfei
    I just need to not save him.
[23:39] Lu Mingfei
    That special privilege he says I have...
[23:43] Lu Mingfei
    I can just not use it.
[23:45] Lu Mingfei
    As long as I don't,
    I can stay with everyone forever.
[23:50] Lu Mingfei
    Forever.
[23:53] Lu Mingfei
    And what's wrong with that?
