**[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?
