[01:42] Finger
    What's wrong with you?
[01:43] Finger
    If you can't control your Yanling,
    then don't try to use it!
[01:46] Mingfei
    Senpai... Um, what's this?
[01:49] Finger
    Oh, it's a statue of the World Tree.
[01:52] Finger
    The Black Dragon Emperor is held
    captive at the base of the real one.
[01:55] Finger
    Hence, this statue.
[01:57] Finger
    It's a symbol of Cassel College.
[02:02] Guderian
    Mingfei! Mingfei!
[02:05] Mingfei
    Professor Guderian!
[02:06] Guderian
    There you are! I've been looking for you!
[02:08] Guderian
    So?
[02:09] Guderian
    Did you learn about Yanlings?
[02:11] Mingfei
    Yes, I got the gist.
[02:13] Guderian
    Excellent.
[02:14] Guderian
    Let's go back to the dorms
    and have a quiz, then.
[02:18] Guderian
    This is your student ID.
[02:20] Guderian
    And tomorrow you'll be taking a 3E test.
[02:23] Mingfei
    A 3E test? What's that?
[02:26] Guderian
    A test of your bloodline.
[02:29] Guderian
    Well, sit down.
[02:30] Guderian
    For an S-rank like you,
    it's as easy as eating a meal.
[02:33] Guderian
    I couldn't hold back my desire
    to test your bloodline.
[02:37] Guderian
    So I borrowed this from the Ice Chamber.
[02:41] Mingfei
    A music box?
[02:42] Mingfei
    In ancient days, Nidhogg,
    the Black Dragon Emperor,
[02:45] Mingfei
    would let out a low roar from his throne.
[02:48] Mingfei
    It tore apart mountains and
    smashed entire continents.
[02:51] Mingfei
    When they heard his voice,
    dragons everywhere,
[02:53] Mingfei
    no matter how far from the throne
    they were, would turn and kneel.
[02:57] Mingfei
    Later, the Dragon Rajas' machinists
    learned to create this music box,
[03:00] Mingfei
    so that the dragon language
    of Nidhogg could be heard.
[03:04] Mingfei
    This dragon language is the
    beginning of all Yanling,
[03:08] Mingfei
    and the most powerful Yanling of them all.
[03:11] Mingfei
    The Emperor!
[03:16] Mingfei
    I didn't follow that at all!
[03:18] Mingfei
    "Nidhogg"? "Emperor"?
    Are these human words?!
[03:21] Mingfei
    Yeah sorry, didn't follow.
[03:24] Guderian
    Well, you just got here, so of course not.
[03:26] Guderian
    Let's have a listen, then.
[03:47] Guderian
    Hail the revival of our liege.
[03:50] Guderian
    Destruction is just another
    form of creation.
[04:01] Guderian
    Mingfei, tell me. Did you feel
    the call of dragon blood?
[04:11] Guderian
    Here it comes! The howl of a dragon!
[04:16] Mingfei
    What is this? It's making me sleepy.
[04:19] Guderian
    Sleepy? You feel nothing?
[04:22] Guderian
    You see nothing in your mind's eye?
[04:23] Mingfei
    Nothing.
[04:24] Guderian
    No sense of being summoned by
    a great, charismatic force?
[04:28] Mingfei
    Not in the least.
[04:34] Guderian
    I've figured it out!
[04:35] Guderian
    You're the first mutant
    we've ever encountered!
[04:37] Guderian
    Your human genes have
    overwhelmed your dragon genes!
[04:41] Guderian
    And repelled the power of the Emperor!
[04:43] Guderian
    That has to be it.
[04:44] Mingfei
    There's also the possibility
    I'm just a normal human.
[04:49] Guderian
    Not a chance. The principal can't have
    made a mistake in his ranking.
[04:59] Guderian
    Don't tell me...
[05:01] Guderian
    Are you...
[05:05] Guderian
    Oh, no! Oh, no!
[05:07] Mingfei
    Professor? Can you finish your sentence?
[05:10] Mingfei
    Senpai?
[05:13] Mingfei
    What are you doing?
[05:15] Finger
    Lu Mingfei's Yanling didn't
    respond to the Emperor!
[05:18] Finger
    This kind of huge news needs
    to be reported immediately!
[05:20] Finger
    And done!
[05:30] Finger
    Why are you looking down?
[05:32] Mingfei
    No reason...
[05:34] Mingfei
    It's just that this whole
     journey feels like a dream.
[05:37] Finger
    Journey?
[05:40] Mingfei
    If I fail the 3E test,
    I get brainwashed and sent home.
[05:45] Finger
    But you don't want to go home, do you?
[05:58] Mingfei
    I don't.
[06:02] Finger
    Are you the kind of guy who cheats?
[06:03] Mingfei
    Who do you think I am?
[06:05] Mingfei
    Of course I'm the kind of guy who cheats!
[06:08] Finger
    Great.
[06:10] Mingfei
    So what's the plan?
[06:12] Finger
    Actually... I've got the test problems.
[06:16] Mingfei
    Senpai, today's dinner is on me!
[06:19] Caesar
    We lost the rights to the Norton House
    after our defeat on the Day of Freedom.
[06:24] Caesar
    This will be the Student
    Union's last meeting here.
[06:29] Caesar
    To me, this was an unprecedented defeat.
[06:33] Students
    You're kidding me!
[06:34] Students
    He didn't lose! That shot was cheating!
[06:37] Students
    This is our home! We're not giving it up!
[06:39] Caesar
    A failure to admit a loss
    proves you're weak.
[06:42] Caesar
    The Lionheart Society is remaining silent.
[06:44] Caesar
    Chu Zihang has accepted his defeat.
[06:46] Caesar
    Are you all inferior to him?
[06:50] Caesar
    Nono, what's wrong?
[06:52] Nono
    There's a new announcement
    on the school news site.
[06:54] Nono
    Something unusual's happened
    with the new S-rank student.
[06:58] Nono
    His Yanling didn't resonate
    with the Emperor.
[07:03] Susie
    It's impossible.
[07:04] Susie
    How can he not resonate?
[07:05] Susie
    He's an S-rank, right?

[07:07] Susie
    What do you think's going on, Chu Zihang?
[07:13] Guderian
    Professor Klein, can you
    hurry to the library?
[07:16] Guderian
    I need to talk to you, now!
[07:17] Klein
    I'm busy cleaning up after that war.
[07:19] Guderian
    That can wait!
[07:20] Guderian
    I just did a test on Lu Mingfei, and he...
[07:26] Guderian
    Chu Zihang's dragon blood is very pure.
[07:30] Guderian
    Normally you can't even look him in
    the eye, but Lu Mingfei shot him.
[07:36] Sign
    Classified Documents Room
[07:36] Guderian
    So the rank he was given must be correct.
[07:39] Klein
    But he did not respond to the Emperor.
[07:42] Klein
    Our oldest, most top secret documents...
[07:46] Klein
    I never expected to research
    this subject again.
[07:51] Klein
    The Ice Sea Scrolls.
[07:54] Guderian
    The tale of the White Ruler.
[07:56] Klein
    The great White Ruler is a being of supreme
    power, on par with the Black Dragon.
[08:01] Klein
    Only the Oracle of the White Dragon
    Emperor can bind the Emperor.
[08:06] Klein
    The Oracle purified the
    blood of all descendants,
[08:10] Klein
    freeing them from the harsh rule
    of the Black Dragon Emperor.
[08:15] Guderian
    The White Dragon Emperor opposed the
     Black Dragon Emperor, and started a rebellion.
[08:19] Guderian
    But he was defeated and buried
    alongside his descendants.
[08:23] Guderian
    The Black Dragon Emperor carved the
    story of the fate of these traitors
[08:25] Guderian
    into the pillar that holds up the sky.
[08:27] Guderian
    The Ice Sea Scrolls are a paper
    transcription of these carvings.
[08:31] Klein
    They are the tale told from
    the victor's perspective.
[08:36] Klein
    But would the White Dragon Emperor's
    soul truly be so easily destroyed?
[08:40] Klein
    Lu Mingfei's failure to respond to the
    Emperor is something we've never seen before.
[08:47] Klein
    Which makes him a research subject.
[08:54] Klein
    Is it that important if he's a descendant of
    the Black Dragon Emperor, or of the White?
[09:01] Klein
    Is it okay to force our theories
    about bloodlines on a mere child?
[09:06] Klein
    We are the Dragon Clan.
    The dragons' blood flows in our veins.
[09:11] Klein
    None of us are pure humans.
[09:17] Klein
    So you'd like to protect him?
[09:20] Guderian
    He's a very good child.
[09:24] Klein
    We raise warriors. Not good children.
[09:28] Klein
    Write the truth in your report.
[09:31] Klein
    If he really is a descendant
    of the White Dragon Emperor,
[09:33] Klein
    he'll likely become a rare specimen.
[09:39] Guderian
    Wait.
[09:42] Guderian
    I don't want to make him...
[09:46] Guderian
    into a research specimen.
[09:57] Klein
    Fine.
[09:59] Klein
    I'll keep this to myself
    until tomorrow's exam ends.
[10:06] Guderian
    What if he doesn't pass?
[10:09] Klein
    I'll report the truth and do my best
    to get them to treat him ethically.
[10:21] Guderian
    Thank you.

    Certainly, I can ensure that.

[12:21] Students
    Why are we being locked in?
[12:23] Students
    It should be just a test, right?
[12:24] Students
    Huh? There's nothing written here.
[12:28] Mingfei
    You're right.
[12:29] Mingfei
    It's blank.
[12:33] (Flashback) Finger
    The 3E test requires Spirit Sight.
[12:35] (Flashback) Finger
    You hear the dragon language
    and see a vision in your head.
[12:38] (Flashback) Finger
    That's how it works.
[12:40] (Flashback) Finger
    First, you'll be given
    a blank piece of paper.
[12:42] (Flashback) Finger
    You're supposed to write down
    what you saw in your vision.
[12:48] Mingfei
    He was right.

    Best of luck.
[13:17] Students
    Who does he think we are?
[13:19] Students
    What...
[13:21] Students
    What do we do?
[13:23] Students
    What's this sound?
[13:24] Students
    I hear a monster...
[13:25] Students
    There's no explanation?
[13:27] Students
    What's going on?
[13:29] Mingfei
    I know all about it.
[13:32] (Flashback) Finger
    They have eight audio files that they
    go through in order over eight years.
[13:39] (Flashback) Mingfei
    So you'd have to be here for eight
    years to run into the same problem.
[13:43] (Flashback) Mingfei
    I don't know how anybody could
    stay in this shithole for...
[13:46] (Flashback) Mingfei
    Oh, sorry. Continue.
[13:48] (Flashback) Finger
    You're correct. This problem
    is the same one I had.
[13:52] (Flashback) Finger
    So the answer is...
[13:54] (Flashback) Finger
    This.
[13:59] Mingfei
    Easy as pie.
[14:08] Female Student
    Thank you, everyone!
[14:09] Female Student

    won the award for best actress!

[14:13] Female Student
    You have my deepest gratitude!
[14:15] Male Student
    You know, I always wanted to be bald.
[14:18] Female Student
    I'll help you.
[14:21] Female Student
    How about this? Should I rip off more?
[14:23] Female Student
    Want to go totally bald?
[14:29] Mingfei
    Wow, this is total chaos.
[14:37] Mingfei
    That girl is strange...
[14:41] Professor
    Norma, can you tell me if any of the students
[14:43] Professor
    look like they're going to have a breakdown?
[14:45] Professor
    Thanks.
[14:46] Norma
    Understood. I will enhance my observations.
[14:49] Professor
    Nono,
[14:51] Professor
    you were calm during your 3E test.
[14:55] Nono
    I'd experienced Spirit Sight
    before coming, so I was fine.
[15:01] Professor
    I see.
[15:02] Professor
    What did you see during
    your first Spirit Sight?
[15:06] Nono
    My mother lying on a bed.
[15:10] Nono
    A shadow approached and stole her soul.
[15:16] Nono
    And...
[15:19] Nono
    she died.
[15:21] Professor
    It was that realistic?
[15:23] Nono
    Not really.
[15:27] Nono
    I couldn't see his face.
[15:30] Mingfei
    Okay, that's seven. Now what?
[15:39] Mingze
    Hey.
[15:41] Mingfei
    What are you doing here?
[15:45] Mingfei

    That's the same name as my cousin!
[16:10] Mingze
    I was waiting for you, Twilight.
[16:13] (Flashback) Mingfei

[16:26] Mingfei
    Who are you now?
[16:27] Mingze
    I'm Lu Mingze.
[16:28] Mingze
    Spirit Sight lets you see what's
    hidden in the depths of the heart.
[16:35] Mingze
    That's why you can see me.
[16:36] Mingfei
    No way!
[16:37] Mingfei
    Why am I hiding you in my heart?
[16:39] Mingze
    I'm not the one who decides that.
[16:41] Mingze
    And this time, you came to me.
[16:46] Mingze
    Is what you hide in the
    depths of your heart fear?
[16:49] Mingze
    Or desire? Perhaps sadness?
[16:53] Mingfei
    I'm not scared of anything!
    I don't want anything!
[16:56] Mingfei
    I'm not sad, either!
[16:57] Mingfei
    What are you?
[17:00] Mingze
    What am I?
[17:01] Mingze
    Ask here.
[17:05] Mingfei
    D-Don't poke my chest so hard...
[17:10] Mingze
    Humans are fools.
[17:13] Mingze
    As are you.
[17:15] Mingze
    But in your case...
[17:19] Mingze
    You're deliberately making yourself stupid.
[17:24] Mingze
    Doesn't that make you sad?
[17:26] Mingze
    I'm sad for you.
[17:31] Mingze
    It's cruel.
[17:36] Mingze
    Right?
[17:39] Mingfei
    What's all this about?
[17:42] Mingfei
    You're being awfully romantic...
[17:57] Mingze
    We're back.
[17:59] Mingze
    Listen, I...
[18:03] Mingze
    Tears?
[18:08] Mingze
    Why won't you understand?
[18:34] Nono
    Wow. You passed out during the test.
[18:37] Nono
    Were you born in the year of the cow?
[18:41] Mingfei
    Rabbit, actually.
[18:43] Mingfei
    Crap! The test!
[18:44] Nono
    It's over. You fell asleep for
    2 hours in a 3-hour test.
[18:49] Mingfei
    Th-Then, I...
[18:51] Nono
    You wrote nine answers.
[18:53] Nono
    But I'm afraid there were only eight.
[18:57] Mingfei
    Lemme check that.
[18:59] Nono
    Sorry, the test is over.
[19:02] Nono
    But...
[19:03] Nono
    The answers seem right.
[19:06] Finger
    Once again, welcome to the school, Mingfei.
[19:10] Finger
    Welcome to Cassel College!
[19:13] Finger
    Norma uploaded the results of your test.
[19:15] Finger
    Congrats on passing!
[19:19] Mingfei
    I don't know if I'd call that a success...
[19:22] Finger
    Did they find out you cheated?
[19:23] Finger
    You didn't sell me out, right?
[19:24] Mingfei
    No way!
[19:25] Mingfei
    I'd never do that.
[19:27] Finger
    Good, then.
[19:29] Finger
    Oh, anyway...
[19:31] Finger
    You signed up for Professor Lars' class
    on magical machinery design, right?
[19:34] Finger
    I don't recommend that.
[19:36] Mingfei
    Why's that?
[19:37] Finger
    He's a huge jerk, is why!
[19:39] Finger
    He takes attendance!
[19:42] Mingfei
    I thought this place was for
    training dragonslayers.
[19:44] Mingfei
    Why does he care about something like that?
[19:47] Finger
    Right?
[19:48] Finger
    But he's been on a mission for a while,
    so he hasn't been holding classes.
[19:52] Mingfei
    A mission?
[19:53] Finger
    They found traces of a dragon
    so he's going to check it out.

[20:35] Ye
    Norma, activate.
[20:37] Ye
    Scan the geography.
[20:39] Norma
    Initiating scan.
[20:42] Norma
    These are the remains of a village.
[20:44] Norma
    It's almost a thousand years old.
[20:47] Ye
    This is the spot.
[20:49] Ye
    According to our Feng Shui,
[20:51] Ye
    it's in a place where the mountain
    dragon and water dragon meet.
[20:54] Ye
    The dragon's palace may be
    hidden below this village.
[20:58] Aki
    How about using the snake to search the
    surrounding area, to save us some time?
[21:03] Ye
    All right. But without support...
[21:06] Aki
    I always support you, don't I?
[21:13] Ye
    Okay, here I go.
[21:15] Aki
    Yeah
[21:29] Ye
    Search the area.
[21:43] Navigator
    Trouble, Captain.
[21:45] Navigator
    Geological movement has been detected.
[21:45] Crew
    Vibration Detected
[21:46] Navigator
    It may lead to a huge earthquake.
[21:49] Lars
    Oh, no!
[21:51] Lars
    This couldn't happen at a worse time.
[21:53] Lars
    Just when we're so close...
[22:04] Aki
    Find anything?
[22:06] Ye
    A huge amount of gold, 40 meters below.
[22:10] Ye
    The snake will go deeper to investigate.
[22:15] Aki
    Then, let's—
[22:16] Lars
    Ye Sheng, Aki. Get back up here, now.
[22:19] Lars
    There's going to be a huge earthquake.
[22:21] Ye
    Roger. We'll call it off for now and—
[22:26] Lars
    What's wrong, Ye Sheng?
[22:27] Ye
    Professor, the earthquake's starting!
[22:30] Lars
    Get up here! Now! Hurry!
[22:32] Lars
    Pull the ropes!
[22:33] Ye
    Professor, I think it's too late.
[22:34] Lars
    Do it now!
[22:39] Lars
    Ye Sheng! Aki!
[22:52] Crew
    We've lost contact.
[22:58] Lars
    What have I done?
[23:00] Lars
    I should've been more careful!
[23:03] Lars
    The first and second generations of dragons
    are different from the other generations!
[23:08] Lars
    Have I repeated my mistake
    from eight years ago?
[23:14] Ye
    Professor!
[23:17] Ye
    I'm speaking through the snake.
[23:18] Ye
    Can you hear me?
[23:20] Lars
    Yes, I can! Are you okay?
[23:22] Ye
    I'm at the bottom of the dam,
    and there's a huge wall in front of me.
[23:27] Ye
    If the records are correct,
[23:30] Ye
    we've arrived at the palace of the
    Dragon Emperor of Bronze and Fire.
