Episode 11

Let's get to the point.

Episode 11: Midgard Falls

What do you want?

I'm told you slew the Dragon Emperors of Bronze and Flame, Norton, and Constantine.

We did.

I didn't hear anything about you getting the bones.

There was an accident during the battle.

We struck Norton with a torpedo, and he ended up sinking to the bottom of the dam.

We sent a search party, but didn't find the bones.

So he's still alive, maybe.

Unlikely.

And we killed Constantine and acquired his bones.

For the first time in history, we've slain one of the Four Rulers, then.

It won't be long before the others fall as well.

Come then, Anjou. To a new era.

No, not to a "new era", but to "the end of the dragon's era".

You won't share a toast?

I'm driving.

Our Alliance and your Secret Party, we're both hybrids.

We simply have differing views on the dragons.

So we're very glad to see that you've slain one of the first generation.

We'll pay as much as you want for the dragon bones. No questions asked.

How kind.

Of course. We both have a common objective, after all.

Once the era of dragons is over, we should share power.

If you're willing to compromise, we'll pay the college as much as you ask for.

You wish to change how we split our territory?

We'll create and share in a wonderful new era together.

A compelling offer.

Tell me specifics.

The most important item would be the Holy Grail...

The dragon bones. You can't keep them to yourselves.

You know what I mean, right, Principal?

The bones have power.

Dragons pass on their power in two ways.

One is through breeding.

The second, through cannibalism.

And it's the second that is the true way power is passed on.

So you'd have us split the bones in half, and we'll both eat them?

Correct.

Our condition for the money is that we get half, and you get half.

I'll ask for a bigger share.

We have so many hungry students at our college.

Very well.

We need to look to the future.

It's meaningless to hold on to past grudges.

If the dragons fall, the hybrids will rule.

Humans are no match.

We shall be the new dragons.

The new dragons...

Correct. The new dragons.

I'd been wanting to trim that beard of yours.

But I guess my hand slipped.

I won't charge you for the shave.

Anjou, don't get so angry at a child.

Henkel, I'm not the type to be calm.

That's true.

Tell your children that if they want to make a deal,

they need to understand me better.

Dragons, both new and old, are my enemies.

And anyone who makes an enemy of me will meet a terrible end.

You screwed that up.

Anjou is after revenge.

He wants to kill the dragons to avenge his fallen comrades.

If you were willing to help him with that,

you might be able to persuade him to work with you.

Come out.

Last time it was Kamen Rider, and this time it's Colonel Chicken?

Can you wear something normal next time?

It's not time for me to show my face yet, is it?

Neither of us would benefit from that.

And I'd only ever wear these fancy clothes to an auction.

You heard what Anjou said, right?

Is it okay for us to believe him?

Especially when it comes to the bones.

He was telling the truth.

He's got the bones. He hasn't given them to the Directors.

What's their next target, then?

It's not clear yet, but a lot of the Executors are heading to Shin.

Their next target's probably there.

Keep an eye on them.

And I'm interested in Lu Mingfei.

He's just a completely ordinary new student.

I want to know who's backing him.

He got 100 million dollars in ten seconds at today's auction.

Well, maybe the bank got hacked, or Anjou sent the money?

He's broke.

Neither of those is correct.

There are 25 million retail investors in the world.

In those ten seconds,

each of them transferred four dollars to Lu Mingfei, giving him 100 million dollars.

In other words,

he can get the whole world to donate money to him when he needs it...

As if...

the hand of a god was tilting the scales of wealth.

Him?

He's a god?

We'll need to keep him under surveillance from now on as well.

Got it. Anything else?

Go to the college.

The dragon bones should be underground.

Retrieve them.

Roger that, Chief Henkel!

Excuse me, then.

Stop hiding your face with that thing.

It's about to tear.

That's fine.

Damn it!

I forgot to put eyes on this side.

Oops!

Over here, sir!

Is everything okay?

I just had them load the Seven Deadly Sins into the car.

Move them to the trunk.

We're leaving.

Right.

Sir, do you know the people at the auction hall?

Don't worry about them.

They'll be our enemies soon enough.

Once the four rulers are dead, and the last Dragon Emperor falls,

the hybrids will battle.

Battle?

Why can't we just be one big happy family?

Dragons are beings that kill each other.

Only the most superior survive to strengthen their genes.

And those instincts lie within us as well.

We simply fail to realize it.

I'm a wimp, so I like things as they are.

Be proud.

You're our only S-Rank.

You participated in the auction and made your brilliant entrance into hybrid society.

Everyone should know your name now.

What? I was just the stand-in, right?

If I'm a stand-in, there's no need for anyone to know my name, right?

You're the new ace of Cassel College.

Ace? No matter how amazing I am, I'm the type who dies in the end, right?

It was definitely his doing that the invitation used my real name.

Is he trying to send me into hell?

Just like the dragons, the hybrids take pride in their bloodlines.

The College has high hopes for you as an S-Rank.

Of course we're going to put you out there.

Uh, thanks, I guess.

I always wanted to ask...

Was I made an S-Rank as a joke?

Mingfei.

Have you ever thought about why you're alive?

Uh, um...

Do you know what "Blood Sorrow" is?

"Sorrow?"

Never heard of it!

I don't think so...

My family, my friends, they're all dead.

I still live, in sorrow.

Not much keeps me attached to this world.

But I still can't forgive the dragons for what they did.

If they destroy the college, I'll have failed my fellows.

If they desecrate the graves of the girls I once loved,

I'll kill them.

You're speeding! You're speeding!

That's all I've got left in life!

Principal?

I'll fight anybody who tries to steal my treasures to the end!

I had no idea the principal was so lonely...

Mingfei, why do you live?

Because...

I want a girlfriend?

Not enough.

Well, uh...

'cause I want to see my parents again?

Still not enough.

Your reason for living is what goes through your mind when you face death!

Does anything come to you, Mingfei?

Hurry up! Answer!

We're about to hit another car! Think!

I'm thinking!

But I can't think of a thing...

Is my life that empty?

Are these all the memories I have?

My life is worthless. What am I supposed to say?

That's... me?

Brother, let's live on.

Lu Mingze!

Live on... together...

Life is all we have.

We'll burn everything with our flames... the entire world...

It seems something came to you.

You don't have to tell me what it is.

Everyone has a reason to live.

And it's because of those fragile reasons that we fight the dragons.

They may be fragile, but they're the only reason we have.

Look, aren't those people dressed weird?

And doesn't that look fun?

Let's check it out later!

It's time for your entrance orientation.

Senpai, we're on a Ferris wheel right now!

And that's why we're doing it now.

We can't do it in a crowd.

I thought my pretty looks had won you over.

Do you know what it means when you take a girl on a Ferris wheel?

How are they different from the other rides?

Ever heard of the three dating meccas?

Movie theaters. Aquariums. Ferris Wheels.

Why?

'Cause they're romantic places.

You can't talk about lame stuff there.

Is your orientation lame?

Not as lame as throwing a spider at a girl and bursting out laughing.

It's actually my first time at an amusement park.

I've got a brother, but he's got a disability.

My parents have to stay home with him on the weekends,

so I'd have to go on my own.

But who wants to go to an amusement park alone?

I'm kind of... surprised.

Why?

Because you look spoiled.

I'll take that as a compliment.

My brother is my twin. He was born six hours ahead of me.

The doctors were so worried about me they forgot to look after him.

He nearly choked, and they were too slow to react.

It affected his brain.

My mom and dad always said that my brother was supposed to be smart,

and he gave those smarts to me.

So of course, I had to be smart.

Half of me belongs to him.

So, no matter how hard I worked, nobody ever praised me.

A rich kid like you wouldn't get it.

Do you hate your brother?

No, I love him.

And I know he loves me, too.

One time he had to go to the hospital, and he couldn't sleep all night.

But when he saw me, his eyes softened instantly.

I held out my hand, and he sniffed it...

And I guess he recognized I was his little sister.

And he relaxed and went to sleep.

Just like a little puppy.

Could you hate a puppy?

I like dogs, but I can't have one. My mother has allergies.

When I went outside, he'd follow me a lot.

One time I turned around, and he wasn't there,

so I started panicking and looking for him.

You were pissing me off!

You get it now? Take this! Take this!

Give up? Damn it!

He was really strong, so I made him promise not to hit back.

I didn't hit back, just like I promised.

Brother... you can hit back.

Okay...!

I can't stand it when people are mean to my brother.

If he could come to an amusement park, it would make him really happy, I bet...

"Blood Sorrow."

We hybrids are bound by our bloodlines.

So we have trouble fitting into society.

Hey, you're getting all grim again!

We're still on the Ferris wheel, you know!

Your ride on the Ferris wheel is almost over.

Please leave in an orderly fashion.

Senpai!

My beloved students...

It seems you've been talking about life and ideals.

Welcome back to the surface.

Principal!

And me, Lu-senpai!

What are you doing here?

Mingfei said he'd never been to a theme park,

and he seemed upset to be separated from a pretty junior.

So, I brought him here.

You're so handsome, Principal! I like you the best.

Hey, are you cool with this?

I don't want to make a big deal out of this,

but if I were you, I wouldn't just let him steal her away like that.

Don't get me involved in this.

The Midgard Serpent.

The most thrilling roller coaster in the world, and this park's most famous attraction.

Let's ride it!

Excellent. You have spirit.

Let's go.

Hooray!

Senpai, are you... scared too?

Yeah. I get motion sickness...

I don't know what's gotten into the principal.

College orientation is a serious occasion.

Why ride a roller coaster?

Your ambition is to slay all the Dragon Emperors, right?

You don't want to die of a heart attack on a roller coaster before you achieve that dream!

Go tell her we should check out the Princess Castle instead!

My favorite ride is actually the "Little Meow Meow Flower and Its Friends".

Senpai Combo, come on! Let's get on!

Combo, she calls us!

Your face is twitching, Senpai.

Even the kitties and the princess can't save us?

All passengers, please ensure your safety bar is tight during your descent.

It's almost time! I can't wait!

Come on! Come on! Fly!

Huh? What? It stopped?

Could it be...

Brother.

I knew it!

You've got nine seconds to make a deal.

In nine seconds, nobody will be able to save you.

Shut up!

Next time, make a reservation before you show up!

There's better times, right?

Why do I have to deal with a demon right now?

The probability of a roller coaster crash is one in three hundred million.

So what?

It's not zero.

Run it three hundred million times, and one time, it'll crash.

And with a 100% probability...

...every passenger will die.

Hey, don't jinx it!

One in three hundred million is just a statistical probability,

but for the people onboard, it will feel like fate.

They see wave after wave of passengers safely return to the ground,

so they believe they'll also be fine.

But once they get on the roller coaster,

the outcome suddenly changes.

They were headed for heaven...

But the next second...

They're headed for hell.

Save me!

Sure. In exchange for a quarter of your life.

Save me!

It's not going to be free each time.

Save me!

This is a lot of work, you know.

Save me!

When you go on dates, I send flowers.

When you buy stuff at the auction, I pick up the bill.

First room service, and then making tea for you?

I hate being interrupted.

Well, this time I'll let the principal take it.

The rails broke!

Zero time!

I can grant exemptions to a few people in my domain,

allowing them to perceive time as I do.

But doing so severely drains me.

How much time do we have?

Six seconds, no more.

I can stretch it fifty times,

so 300 seconds.

In that time, we must immediately come up with a rescue plan,

otherwise, everyone on this ride will die.

I read a warning sign when we were in line.

Be Aware

In Emergencies

This roller coaster has fin-shaped magnetic brakes that can decelerate it.

If we don't go over the peak,

we'll go back down the rails and into the tunnel.

If we use the brakes at the wrong time, we'll go off the rails.

When we hit the highest point,

quickly go to the back of the ride, and open the box.

There'll be red and blue cords inside.

Connect them to activate the magnetic brakes.

It'll take four seconds to trigger them.

The timing is critical.

We must activate them about ten meters before the ride gets to the highest point.

If we're too early, we'll be going too fast and might derail.

If we're too late and go past the highest point, it'll be over.

I could pass out at any moment.

Chu Zihang, you're the executor for this mission.

You have full command!

Roger.

Senpai, be careful!

Lu Mingfei, you get to the front and let me know when we're ten meters away!

I'll trigger the brakes!

Principal! The rails... the rails are falling!

Chu Zihang...

Dad smiled at me like that, too...

Lu Mingfei, you take the back!

I'll protect the front!

Hurry and go!

Okay!

Red and blue cords...

If I connect them, it'll activate!

Senpai, ready whenever!

From the heights of Babylon,

burn like the sun!

Lu Mingfei, get ready!
