[00:21] Guard
    Number 113, Hugo Coppélia.
[00:24] Guard
    Out. You have a visitor.
[00:31] Hugo
    You again, Noel Stollen?
[00:35] Noel
    Have you lost even more weight, Hugo?
[00:38] Noel
    You're starving to death.
[00:40] Hugo
    None of your concern.
[00:42] Noel
    Oh, but it is.
[00:43] Noel
    I can't have you dying on me.
[00:46] Hugo
    Because you're going to free me
    and recruit me into your party?
[00:50] Noel
    Exactly.
[00:53] Noel
    Hugo Coppélia the Puppeteer...
[00:56] Noel
    This man, who now awaits execution
    for the murders that shrouded Etrai in fear,
[01:01] Noel
    was once considered a Seeker prodigy.
[01:05] Noel
    Normally, combat and crafting
    classes totally diverge,
[01:09] Noel
    but Puppeteer is a unique case
    that combines the two.
[01:14] Noel
    It can control various puppets, adaptable
    to any battle situation imaginable.
[01:21] Noel
    With his calm, rational personality
    and keen intellect on top of that,
[01:25] Noel
    Hugo claimed many a victory
    as an independent Seeker.
[01:32] Noel
    However, because of that,
[01:34] Noel
    he was something of a lone wolf.
    Never joined any parties.
[01:38] Noel
    Then he suddenly retired as a Seeker
    at the peak of his game.
[01:43] Noel
    He took up puppet making and found plenty
    of success in his new line of work too.
[01:50] Noel
    But that's when the incident occurred
    that changed his life forever.
[01:55] Hugo
    As I keep saying, you're wasting your time.
[01:58] Hugo
    I'm going to be executed.
[02:00] Noel
    There are plenty of ways to avoid that.
[02:05] Noel
    You don't seem convinced. In that case...
[02:10] Guard
    I apologize for the wait, Sir Noel!
[02:12] Noel
    Thank you. You may leave now.
[02:14] Guard
    Sir! Please call for me
    if you need anything else!
[02:19] Noel
    This is some good tea.
[02:21] Hugo
    You paid off the guard?
[02:24] Noel
    Oh, I just have some dirt on him. That's all.
[02:27] Hugo
    Blackmail, then?
[02:30] Noel
    Feel free to think what you like.
[02:32] Noel
    I'll just say that every guard
    in this prison is at my beck and call.
[02:38] Noel
    I'm serious.
[02:40] Noel
    Preparations to free you are nearly complete.
[02:45] Noel
    What? Are you not happy?
[02:49] Hugo
    Let's say I do get out.
    That would make me happy indeed.
[02:54] Hugo
    But I won't join you.
[02:57] Noel
    Why is that?
[02:59] Hugo
    I've always despised Seekers.
[03:02] Hugo
    They're violent and overconfident
    in their abilities. Fools, all of them.
[03:07] Noel
    So you think I'm the same?
[03:10] Hugo
    No. You're special in a bad way.
[03:13] Hugo
    You seem more like a snake than a person.
[03:16] Hugo
    You're cold and merciless,
[03:18] Hugo
    and you play with your prey
    before swallowing it whole.
[03:21] Noel
    I've heard that before.
[03:24] Noel
    I don't mind it as a compliment.
[03:27] Noel
    Thanks to that, I had no trouble
     coming up with a clan name.
[03:30] Hugo
    I didn't mean it as a compliment, though.
[03:33] Noel
    I'll be back.
[03:34] Noel
    I'm as persistent as a snake, you see.
[03:39] Noel
    Hugo Coppélia...
[03:42] Noel
    You will join me, and that's a fact.
[03:52] Hugo
    Me, a Seeker again?
[05:27] Noel
    As of today, we go to a new bar.
[05:30] Alma
    The Rockbird Beak? Does it have good food?
[05:34] Koga
    W-Wait a sec! Ain't this the bar
    where the best B-rankers gather?
[05:39] Koga
    N-Noel!
[05:50] Edgar
    Never seen you before, girlie.
[05:53] Noel
    I'm no girlie. I'm a man.
[05:56] Edgar
    Ha, no way. Not without so much as
    a single scratch on your face, you're not.
[06:02] Noel
    So that messed-up mug makes you a man?
[06:05] Noel
    You must've wanted to be one real bad, huh...
[06:08] Noel
    girlie?
[06:09] Edgar
    Huh?! The hell you'd just say to me?!
[06:11] Noel
    You'd take us all by your lonesome, Edgar?
[06:15] Noel
    No wonder you're the vanguard for War Eagle.
[06:19] Edgar
    What, you think you got me beat 'cause
    you know me and had prep time?
[06:24] Noel
    Bruno if it's a boy.
[06:26] Noel
    Kachua if it's a girl.
[06:29] Noel
    I hear you're gonna be a dad soon. Congrats.
[06:34] Edgar
    How do you know that...?
[06:36] Noel
    Trade secret.
[06:38] Noel
    Anyway, if you wanna fight me,
[06:41] Noel
    you'll be putting everything on the line.
[06:44] Noel
    I hope you're prepared for that.
[06:50] Noel
    Thanks for the warm welcome, Edgar!
[06:52] Noel
    I'm Noel Stollen, a Talker
    and the leader of Blue Beyond.
[06:58] Noel
    A pleasure to meet you all.
[07:02] Alma
    Mm, yummy!
[07:03] Koga
    They have booze from my homeland, too!
[07:06] Noel
    Don't get too excited.
[07:08] Noel
    We didn't come here just to wine and dine.
[07:13] Noel
    Our real aim is...
[07:16] Noel
    How lucky. Jackpot on the very first try.
[07:21] Ophelia
    What a surprise.
[07:22] Ophelia
    I thought you were a rookie, Alma.
[07:26] Noel
    Do you know her?
[07:27] Alma
    Lycia's the one who knows her.
[07:29] Alma
    I've only met her once.
[07:31] Alma
    But be careful.
[07:33] Alma
    This elf doesn't think too kindly of you.
[07:36] Noel
    That's perfect.
[07:37] Alma
    Huh?
[07:38] Noel
    Let's have a fight, then.
[07:42] Alma
    This may be your worst quality,
    but I don't hate it.
[07:47] Alma
    Hello, Ophelia.
[07:48] Ophelia
    And who might those two be?
[07:51] Alma
    My party.
[07:53] Noel
    I'm Noel Stollen of Blue Beyond.
[07:56] Ophelia
    Say what?
[07:59] Noel
    My, that's a scary look. Do you
    have something to say to me?
[08:03] Ophelia
    That's rich from the guy
     who sold his friends into slavery.
[08:07] Noel
    Oh, that? I got a handsome fortune
    from the mafia for them.
[08:13] Noel
    They say friends are priceless, after all.
[08:16] Ophelia
    How could you?!
[08:19] Koga
    Don't get violent now, Miss Elf.
[08:22] Koga
    Like it or not, Noel 'ere's my boss.
[08:26] Koga
    I'd think twice before layin' a hand on him.
[08:30] Ophelia
    You're a very loyal dog.
[08:32] Ophelia
    Too loyal for a leader who'd
    happily put you on the market.
[08:35] Koga
    Say whatever ya want about me. But...
[08:40] Koga
    Best choose yer words carefully.
[08:44] Koga
    Don't make me draw my sword.
[08:48] Leon
    What's the matter, Ophelia?
[08:51] Noel
    Your friend here suddenly tried to grab me.
[08:56] Leon
    Is that true?
[08:57] Ophelia
    I'm sorry.
[08:59] Leon
    I see.
[09:03] Leon
    I apologize for my companion's behavior.
[09:07] Leon
    I'm sorry.
[09:08] Noel
    It's no big deal.
[09:10] Noel
    But discipline her so it doesn't happen again.
[09:13] Noel
    Even dogs can be taught not to attack people.
[09:16] Noel
    Your friend's dumber than a mutt.
[09:20] Leon
    Dumber than a mutt?
[09:22] Leon
    I'd ask you to take that back.
[09:25] Noel
    What, you snapping back?
[09:27] Leon
    We are sorry for what happened,
    but it's no reason to insult her like that.
[09:32] Noel
    So, basically, you're trying to say
     we're both in the wrong?
[09:37] Noel
    You're quite the schemer.
[09:39] Ophelia
    Leon, trying to have a mature
    conversation is pointless.
[09:42] Ophelia
    This is the notorious Noel Stollen!
[09:46] Leon
    So it's you...
[09:48] Ophelia
    Apparently, all the rumors are true.
[09:51] Ophelia
    I just couldn't stand it...
[09:54] Noel
    Oh, so you love your gossip
    like teenage girls?
[09:57] Noel
    Do you all play house as a side gig too?
[10:01] Noel
    Or maybe you go for dolls.
[10:04] Leon
    You're insufferable.
[10:07] Leon
    If you don't value your companions,
    you're not qualified to be a Seeker.
[10:10] Noel
    Actually, I got my qualifications a while ago.
[10:14] Noel
    Or are you saying I need your permission now?
[10:18] Noel
    Do the prim and proper Winged Knights
    hold sway with the Seeker guild?
[10:24] Leon
    Go ahead and live your life
     insulting others like that.
[10:28] Leon
    It'll come back to bite you one day.
[10:31] Noel
    Oh, now you're some kind of god?
[10:35] Noel
    How high and mighty. You think
     you're all that's right in the world?
[10:39] Noel
    That's going to come back to bite you.
[10:44] Ophelia
    Leon!
[10:56] Alma
    No denying you're the bad guy now.
[10:58] Koga
    Don't ya think ya went a li'l too far?
[11:01] Koga
    Ya didn't have to provoke the guy
    like that after he apologized.
[11:04] Noel
    It's fine. This is all part of my plan.
[11:08] Noel
    Lean in for a second.
[11:12] Koga
    That's wicked!
[11:12] Alma
    How wicked!
[11:14] Noel
    Take these words to heart.
[11:17] Noel
    In the Seeker world, it's eat or be eaten.
[11:20] Noel
    But it's not the weak who get devoured...
[11:23] Noel
    It's always the arrogant ones.
[11:28] Noel
    Turning your back on an enemy
    is the height of folly.
[11:32] Noel
    You're practically begging them to kill you.
[11:35] Noel
    Those guys are going to be
    a stepping stone for us.
[11:41] Marion
    Hey, Gramps, who would you recommend?
[11:44] Harold
    Marion.
[11:46] Harold
    Learn to be respectful already, won't you?
[11:49] Harold
    We are at work, and I am your superior.
[11:53] Marion
    Oh, shut it.
[11:55] Marion
    So, what do you say?
[11:57] Marion
    Who do you think is right for the job of
    commanding our forces against the Valiant?
[12:02] Harold
    Let me ask you, Marion.
    Who do you think is fit?
[12:06] Marion
    It's gotta be Leo Edin.
[12:09] Marion
    And I'm not just saying that because
     I'm in charge of Pandemonium either.
[12:13] Marion
    Leo's stuck-up and lazy,
    but he's crazy powerful.
[12:19] Marion
    I really think he might be
    the strongest of all time.
[12:22] Harold
    I see.
[12:23] Marion
    What? Are you in Supreme Dragon's corner?
[12:26] Marion
    I mean, I get it.
    Zeke Feinstein is tough and all...
[12:30] Harold
    My recommendation would be Noel Stollen.
[12:34] Marion
    Huh?
[12:37] Marion
    Get out!
[12:38] Marion
    Wait, didn't you reject his
    clan application? What's all this now?
[12:42] Harold
    How about a wager, then?
[12:44] Marion
    Huh?
[12:45] Harold
    Leo or Noel? Who will be the supreme commander?
[12:49] Harold
    Should you win, I'll relinquish my position
    as head of the Jenkins household to you.
[12:55] Harold
    But should you lose...
[12:57] Marion
    You wanna send me to charm school?
[13:00] Harold
    Yes, that will do just fine.
[13:03] Harold
    If you want to be a top inspector,
    you'll need both intellect and etiquette.
[13:10] Harold
    Well? If you're so afraid of losing...
[13:12] Marion
    D-Don't be stupid!
[13:14] Marion
    You're on. I'll take you up on that bet.
[13:20] Harold
    Don't let me down now...
[13:23] Harold
    Noel Stollen.
[13:27] Sign
    The Haves and the Have-Nots
[13:34] Youngstera
    We're keeping this party going!
[13:36] Youngsterb
    Our future is bright!
[13:38] Youngstera
    You said it!
[13:39] Keim
    Sheesh.
[13:41] Keim
    What a handful.
[13:44] (Flashback) Kid1
    You goody two-shoes!
[13:46] (Flashback) Kid1
    This only happened because you ratted us out!
[13:49] (Flashback) Y. Leon
    But it's wrong to take things
    from the market. That's stealing.
[13:53] (Flashback) Kid1
    Shut up!
[13:54] (Flashback) Kid2
    A little bit never hurt anybody!
[13:56] (Flashback) Kid3
    You're really pissing us off!
[13:58] (Flashback) Y. Leon
    But you shouldn't do things
    that are clearly wrong.
[14:01] (Flashback) Kid2
    Wha?
[14:02] (Flashback) Kid2
    You think you're god or something?
[14:05] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    Hey!
[14:06] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    What are you guys doing?!
[14:08] (Flashback) Kid3
    Yikes, it's Keim.
[14:10] (Flashback) Kid1
    Run away!
[14:12] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    What? Getting picked on again, Leon?
[14:16] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    You gotta fight back, man.
[14:18] (Flashback) Y. Leon
    I can't.
[14:19] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    Didn't you get appraised the other day?
[14:21] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    You have a combat class.
[14:24] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    You could easily blow those idiots away.
[14:26] (Flashback) Y. Leon
    Fighting violence with violence isn't the way.
[14:29] (Flashback) Y. Leon
    It's not the right thing to do.
[14:31] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    Come on now. It's not about right or wrong...
[14:39] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    Sheesh, you're always like this.
[14:44] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    Say, Leon, we should become Seekers.
[14:48] (Flashback) Y. Leon
    Huh?
[14:49] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    No point squandering our lives
     in the countryside.
[14:52] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    I wanna see a much bigger world.
[14:55] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    I'm sure we can become
    the strongest Seekers alive.
[15:00] (Flashback) Y. Leon
    I can't do it. I'm not strong like you.
[15:05] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    No, you're definitely strong, Leon.
[15:09] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    You're a Swordsman, and I'm a Lancer.
[15:12] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    We're not like the others.
[15:14] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    We've got what it takes.
[15:16] (Flashback) Y. Leon
    But...
[15:18] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    We'll become Seekers!
[15:20] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    We'll grow up to be super cool
    and always do the right thing!
[15:24] (Flashback) Y. Leon
    The right thing?
[15:26] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    Yeah. We'll get rid of the beasts
    and protect everybody.
[15:30] (Flashback) Y. Keim
    Is there anything more "right" than that?
[15:35] Keim
    Every since we were kids,
[15:37] Keim
    I've never been able to leave him alone.
[15:41] Keim
    Maybe because he has something I don't.
[15:43] Keim
    Nah, I didn't put that much thought
    into it back then.
[15:47] Keim
    I just wanted to be somebody.
[15:54] (Flashback) Keim
    Now, Leon!
[15:55] (Flashback) Keim
    Activate Seraphim Blade!
[15:57] (Flashback) Leon
    No! At this range, I'll hit you too!
[16:00] (Flashback) Keim
    I'll dodge the moment you fire it off!
[16:02] (Flashback) Keim
    There's no other way to win!
[16:06] (Flashback) Keim
    I can do this! Believe in me, Leon!
[16:17] (Flashback) Leon
    Seraphim Blade!
[16:26] (Flashback) Ophelia
    W-We won...
[16:28] (Flashback) Ophelia
    We won!
[16:30] (Flashback) Vaclav
    We downed an ajatar, a forest drake
     with an abyssal depth rating of 7.
[16:34] (Flashback) Vaclav
    Look how far we've come.
[16:38] (Flashback) Leon
    Keim! Are you okay?! Are you unharmed?!
[16:43] (Flashback) Keim
    You should see the look on your face.
[16:46] (Flashback) Keim
    We won, you know?
[16:48] (Flashback) Keim
    This will increase Twilight Glint's cred.
[16:51] (Flashback) Leon
    Yeah.
[16:53] Keim
    Twilight Glint... That was the party name
    the four of us decided on.
[16:59] Keim
    But the name never stuck.
[17:02] Keim
    At some point,
    Leon's moniker of Celestial Wings
[17:06] Keim
    morphed into us becoming the Winged Knights.
[17:11] Keim
    It was Leon who had "what it takes."
[17:13] Keim
    And he'll probably be the one
    to be somebody, too.
[17:21] Keim
    So, why did you get so worked up?
[17:24] Leon
    I wonder. I don't even know myself.
[17:28] Keim
    You think it was envy?
[17:30] Leon
    Envy?
[17:32] Keim
    Yeah. A kid who only just became a Seeker
    suddenly shows up at the Rockbird Beak.
[17:38] Keim
    Plus, he was acting like a bigshot.
[17:43] Keim
    How many years did it take us
    to get into that pub?
[17:46] Keim
    We'd be crazy not to envy those guys.
[17:49] Keim
    It explains why Ophelia
    couldn't control herself, too.
[17:53] Leon
    I see. So it was envy.
[17:56] Leon
    Wow, I can't believe I didn't even
    realize my own feelings.
[18:02] Leon
    Yeah, he really is something.
[18:05] Leon
    I don't agree with his methods,
    but his efforts are deserving of respect.
[18:12] Keim
    Listen, Leon.
[18:13] Keim
    I get that shooting straight has its charms,
[18:15] Keim
    but I don't think we should just
    kick back and let them overtake us.
[18:20] Keim
    The Seeker guild sent this the other day.
[18:23] Keim
    They want parties with proven track records
    to hurry up and form clans.
[18:28] Keim
    Ophelia and Vaclav received
     similar letters as well.
[18:31] Leon
    Oh yeah? I got one too, actually.
[18:36] Leon
    I called you all to the pub today
    because I wanted to discuss it.
[18:41] Leon
    But you saw what happened...
[18:45] Keim
    Oh, they both already said they'd
    go along with what you decide.
[18:49] Keim
    Same goes for me, of course.
[18:51] Leon
    Huh? You already discussed
    all that without me, your leader?
[18:55] Keim
    Makes things easier, right?
[18:58] Leon
    I know I'm leader in name only, but still...
[19:01] Keim
    Don't start sulking!
[19:03] Keim
    You being our leader is important to us.
[19:06] Keim
    Here's to our future.
[19:09] Leon
    To our clan.
[19:14] Leon
    You're rejecting our application?
[19:16] Leon
    But why?
[19:18] Leon
    Our documents should all be in order.
[19:20] Leon
    We meet all the clan requirements.
[19:22] Harold
    Indeed, I don't see a single problem there.
[19:25] Harold
    If these were normal times, the guild
    would welcome you with open arms.
[19:29] Leon
    Then why?
[19:33] Leon
    A Valiant is going to manifest?
    In a year's time, no less?
[19:37] Harold
    Accordingly, we're only looking
    for immediate assets right now.
[19:42] Keim
    And that's what we are!
[19:45] Keim
    We've successfully taken out an ajatar before.
[19:48] Keim
    As drakeslayers, we have the reputation—
[19:50] Harold
    So why exactly did you not apply back then?
[19:56] Harold
    Your overcautious nature
    is the biggest problem.
[19:58] Harold
    You lack the hunger and drive
    to perpetually aim higher.
[20:04] Leon
    No way...
[20:06] Keim
    Then what was this letter all about?!
[20:09] Harold
    I don't believe we sent out any such
     letters. Perhaps it was a prank.
[20:16] Keim
    A prank? Who would do that... and why?
[20:20] Harold
    Either way, this interview is over.
[20:23] Harold
    Thank you for taking the time
    to visit us today.
[20:25] Leon
    Wait! Please give us one more chance!
[20:29] Leon
    I beg you!
[20:33] Harold
    Fine. I'll give you a chance.
[20:36] Leon
    Really?!
[20:38] Harold
    Indeed. In return, you'll take a test for me.
[20:42] Leon
    A test?
[20:44] Harold
    You'll vanquish a beast
    designated by the guild.
[20:47] Harold
    If you succeed, I'll approve
    your clan application.
[20:51] Leon
    And what beast will that be?
[20:54] Harold
    Dantalion of the Cursed Eyes,
    with an abyssal depth rating of 8.
[20:59] Harold
    It will be even stronger than
    the ajatar you defeated.
[21:06] Keim
    Don't waver, Leon.
[21:07] Keim
    As long as we stay Seekers,
    we'd have to fight it someday.
[21:11] Keim
    It just happens to be here and now.
[21:14] Leon
    Yeah, you're right.
[21:16] Leon
    Understood. We accept your test.
[21:20] Harold
    Excellent.
[21:22] Harold
    However, you'll be competing
    against another party in this test.
[21:26] Harold
    I similarly rejected their
     clan application a few days ago.
[21:30] Harold
    They also begged me for a chance.
[21:34] Harold
    We've decided that whichever of your parties
    completes the test will be made a clan.
[21:42] Harold
    Please, show yourselves in.
[21:49] Noel
    Oh, fancy running into you here.
[21:53] Noel
    What a twist of fate, Winged Knights.
[21:57] Leon
    Noel Stollen?
