00:07.590 --> 00:10.380
Bribe the owner of this place.

00:10.380 --> 00:12.590
It'll make future deals easier.

00:12.590 --> 00:13.300
Right.

00:17.930 --> 00:20.180
It's a pleasure to meet you.

00:20.180 --> 00:22.390
I'm an inspector with the Seekers guild.

00:22.390 --> 00:24.890
My name is Harold Jenkins.

00:25.310 --> 00:28.020
I hope to be of some assistance.

00:29.230 --> 00:32.230
Ah, this is exquisite.

00:32.230 --> 00:35.110
It seems your winery is coming along well.

00:35.110 --> 00:38.700
It helps make ends meet.

00:38.700 --> 00:41.830
I owe it all to the inheritance 
my grandfather left me and to my staff.

00:42.240 --> 00:43.790
You're too modest.

00:43.790 --> 00:49.540
It appears you have a talent for managing 
people and running a business.

00:49.840 --> 00:51.800
I'm not doing anything special.

00:51.800 --> 00:55.760
Soon, I'll step down and leave
 things in their hands.

00:56.590 --> 01:00.970
Anyway, what brings a guild inspector here?

01:02.220 --> 01:06.600
I've already given up all the information 
I have on my hometown's tragedy.

01:09.730 --> 01:13.030
This image was taken just the other day.

01:13.030 --> 01:17.990
It is likely the same lord 
that destroyed your hometown.

01:18.860 --> 01:20.450
That's the one?

01:20.450 --> 01:23.160
You don't seem very surprised.

01:23.490 --> 01:27.250
Well, I had an inkling it was still alive.

01:27.960 --> 01:31.710
Two things were conspicuously 
missing that day.

01:32.210 --> 01:33.710
The lord's dead body

01:34.000 --> 01:35.510
and my grandfather's battle axe.

01:36.170 --> 01:37.470
Have you defeated this lord?

01:37.970 --> 01:41.220
A major clan, Night Rage, tried to subdue it,

01:41.510 --> 01:43.220
but they were obliterated.

01:43.560 --> 01:49.190
We sent in Supreme Dragon after that, 
but the lord had already left for the Void.

01:49.480 --> 01:50.690
It <i>left</i>?

01:51.020 --> 01:57.030
They say beasts are driven to invade 
this world by an irresistible instinct.

01:57.030 --> 02:02.870
And yet this one appears to be acting
 freely of its own accord.

02:02.870 --> 02:06.370
This is the lord that defeated 
the great Overdeath.

02:06.370 --> 02:11.460
Its experience from appearing twice 
may help it reach a depth of 13...

02:11.460 --> 02:14.920
There's now a possibility 
it will become a new Valiant.

02:15.340 --> 02:21.640
Valiants are a group of ten powerful lords 
with abyssal depth ratings of 13.

02:21.640 --> 02:27.140
Each of these ten dark lords wields power 
enough to destroy the entire world.

02:27.140 --> 02:32.440
The last time one manifested 
in this world was forty years ago.

02:32.440 --> 02:38.190
Cocytus the Silverfish wiped out
 three nations upon emerging, but...

02:38.190 --> 02:42.160
The Bloodsword Federation, 
my grandpa's clan, defeated it.

02:42.450 --> 02:45.370
And it was the first time in human history.

02:45.370 --> 02:49.710
Before then, it was all we could do 
to drive a Valiant back into the Void,

02:49.710 --> 02:52.370
and yet we were victorious.

02:52.370 --> 02:53.670
However...

02:54.040 --> 02:57.670
This lord may pose a new threat to humanity.

02:58.210 --> 02:59.880
Is that what you're saying?

02:59.880 --> 03:01.550
Unfortunately.

03:03.930 --> 03:05.180
How amusing.

03:07.060 --> 03:08.390
You resemble him.

03:09.480 --> 03:14.100
Your eyes resemble Brandon's—
your grandfather's.

03:14.400 --> 03:18.280
I was in charge of the
 Bloodsword Federation, his clan.

03:18.280 --> 03:21.070
He and I were close.

03:21.070 --> 03:24.820
I wanted to come see
 how his grandson was doing,

03:25.200 --> 03:27.830
but it seems my concern was misplaced.

03:28.620 --> 03:31.160
You will be fifteen next year,

03:31.540 --> 03:34.500
which will make you eligible 
to take the Seeker exam.

03:37.090 --> 03:39.000
I'll be on my way now.

03:42.170 --> 03:43.430
Remember this.

03:45.090 --> 03:48.100
We will meet again someday, so...

03:48.100 --> 03:50.850
Remember my face. I'm going
to be the strongest Seeker ever.

05:31.580 --> 05:34.500
H-Hey, you sure we'll be all right?

05:34.500 --> 05:37.080
Yeah. They're not going
to ask anything difficult.

05:37.080 --> 05:38.830
Just answer normally, and you'll be fine.

05:38.830 --> 05:44.510
But what if something I say 
rubs the inspector the wrong way

05:44.510 --> 05:47.090
and our clan application gets rejected?

05:47.090 --> 05:47.670
Won't happen!

05:47.670 --> 05:53.430
Huh? But <i>I</i> heard that offending the inspector
will get you rejected on the spot.

05:53.430 --> 05:55.770
C-Crap! What do I do?!

05:55.770 --> 05:58.190
If I mess up, Noel's dream is up in smoke!

05:58.190 --> 06:00.060
Take responsibility by taking your own life.

06:00.060 --> 06:02.610
We didn't work together long, 
but thanks for the memories.

06:02.610 --> 06:04.940
You can leave the rest to me and drop dead.

06:04.940 --> 06:07.320
Come on, you two...

06:11.070 --> 06:11.950
Oh?

06:11.950 --> 06:14.200
What seems to be the matter?

06:14.790 --> 06:17.700
No need to be so wary.

06:18.000 --> 06:20.330
It's been too long, Noel.

06:26.550 --> 06:28.760
A clan house to serve as your base,

06:28.760 --> 06:30.680
plus the 20 million fil collateral...

06:30.680 --> 06:33.140
Everything seems to be in order.

06:33.140 --> 06:37.980
You're still lacking in accomplishments, 
but I take no issue with your abilities.

06:38.270 --> 06:42.940
I'll be moving up to B rank 
once my application goes through.

06:43.270 --> 06:45.610
I'm ready to rank up to B, too.

06:45.610 --> 06:47.900
Koga's the only one stuck at C.

06:49.150 --> 06:50.950
Very good.

06:50.950 --> 06:55.780
The clan name on your application 
isn't Blue Beyond. Is this correct?

06:56.150 --> 06:59.870
I plan to start using that one
once we become a clan.

06:59.870 --> 07:03.830
Understood. That concludes my interview.

07:03.830 --> 07:06.500
Huh? Already?

07:06.500 --> 07:07.340
Yes.

07:07.340 --> 07:10.840
I'm rejecting your application
 to start a clan.

07:13.640 --> 07:15.550
I-I don't believe it...

07:16.260 --> 07:20.520
How did he kill a lord with 
a depth rating of 12 all by himself?

07:20.890 --> 07:24.480
Probably just another day for him.

07:25.020 --> 07:28.820
After all, that's the submaster of
the one-star regalia clan, Supreme Dragon,

07:28.820 --> 07:31.700
who many consider to be 
the strongest man in the empire...

07:32.070 --> 07:35.660
The Innocent Blade, Zeke Feinstein.

07:37.700 --> 07:39.750
I'll be frank with you.

07:39.750 --> 07:43.330
We're looking for even stronger Seekers now.

07:43.330 --> 07:47.630
Simply meeting the clan requirements 
isn't enough to get approved.

07:47.630 --> 07:49.970
Things have changed.

07:49.970 --> 07:51.340
Hey, that's unfair!

07:51.640 --> 07:52.840
How have things changed?

07:53.800 --> 07:57.050
What I'm about to say is off the record.

07:57.390 --> 08:02.270
A colossal amount of mana has been 
detected west of the empire.

08:02.270 --> 08:07.360
The mana river flowing underground 
is close to reaching critical currents,

08:07.360 --> 08:10.280
and it's only a matter of time 
before it erupts.

08:10.780 --> 08:11.990
How long do we have?

08:12.400 --> 08:14.200
A year.

08:14.200 --> 08:19.540
When that mana explosion goes off, 
it will generate a supermassive Abyss.

08:19.950 --> 08:21.120
In other words...

08:21.120 --> 08:26.210
A beast lord with an abyssal depth rating 
of 13, a Valiant, will manifest.

08:27.670 --> 08:30.300
C-Can't you stop it?

08:30.300 --> 08:35.050
The underground channels are 
not unlike our blood vessels.

08:35.050 --> 08:38.260
Disrupt the flow, and you'd
 see tremors and ruptures...

08:38.600 --> 08:41.560
The land would no longer 
be able to support human life.

08:42.560 --> 08:43.730
Can you win?

08:44.140 --> 08:48.480
We defeated Cocytus the Silverfish last time.

08:48.480 --> 08:52.230
That is why the empire
prospers as it does now.

08:52.230 --> 08:55.200
We must go all out in this battle.

08:55.200 --> 08:59.530
The best Seekers in the empire, the regalia, 
will have to take part as well.

08:59.990 --> 09:02.080
The first-tier Supreme Dragon,

09:02.080 --> 09:05.000
the second-tier Kahn
and Cave of the Universe,

09:05.000 --> 09:10.960
and the third-tier Blade Flash, Goat Dinner, 
Pandemonium, and Lorelai...

09:10.960 --> 09:15.010
Each of these clans 
is worthy of their regalia title.

09:15.010 --> 09:19.640
However, and I say this as someone 
who has seen a Valiant in the flesh,

09:19.640 --> 09:22.350
there is no guarantee of our victory.

09:22.350 --> 09:25.640
Thus we're looking for clans 
that will be of immediate help.

09:25.980 --> 09:30.360
We don't have the time or luxury 
to develop greenhorns such as yourselves.

09:31.020 --> 09:32.320
Please leave.

09:33.150 --> 09:34.320
Got it.

09:34.320 --> 09:35.400
A-Are you sure?

09:35.780 --> 09:37.610
He makes a solid point.

09:37.610 --> 09:40.660
We don't meet the standards 
they're looking for.

09:41.070 --> 09:42.620
Not yet, at least.

09:45.000 --> 09:45.790
Let's go.

09:45.790 --> 09:47.910
W-Wait, Noel!

09:50.630 --> 09:57.010
Good grief. Who did he get that 
sore-loser temperament from?

09:58.090 --> 10:01.800
<i>Who else but me? He's my grandson.
My pride and joy.</i>

10:02.220 --> 10:05.270
Yes, of that I have no doubt.

10:05.680 --> 10:07.480
Noel Stollen...

10:07.480 --> 10:09.560
I have high hopes for the boy.

10:12.400 --> 10:15.440
Noel! Why'd you back down 
on the clan application?!

10:15.440 --> 10:17.080
You giving up on your dream?!

10:17.940 --> 10:21.030
Giving up? Don't be foolish.

10:21.990 --> 10:26.750
This is an incredible chance for us 
to shoot right up the ladder.

10:29.040 --> 10:34.170
Listen, there's no arguing that a Valiant
 manifesting spells peril for humanity.

10:34.540 --> 10:37.170
But it's also a great opportunity for us.

10:37.660 --> 10:44.600
Defeating Cocytus the Silverfish rapidly 
advanced the empire's living standards.

10:45.220 --> 10:50.230
Its heart was synthesized into a device 
that generated endless drinking water,

10:50.230 --> 10:52.270
which was a boon to all the empire.

10:53.060 --> 10:58.150
Hunting powerful beasts furthers
our magi-engineering civilization.

10:58.650 --> 11:02.110
That's why Seekers are hailed as heroes here.

11:02.430 --> 11:06.280
We turn never-seen-before catastrophes
into divine blessings.

11:06.280 --> 11:07.830
That's what Seekers do.

11:08.080 --> 11:09.450
I see...

11:10.160 --> 11:12.670
We need to join the regalia
 as soon as possible.

11:13.030 --> 11:16.250
Wait, we aren't even a clan yet!

11:16.250 --> 11:18.260
We'll never make it in time.

11:19.880 --> 11:23.640
You <i>did</i> say that we'd be 
part of the regalia within a year.

11:23.640 --> 11:25.140
Make it half a year.

11:25.890 --> 11:26.850
H—

11:26.850 --> 11:28.850
Half a year?!

11:28.850 --> 11:31.850
Yeah. We'll make the regalia in six months.

11:32.130 --> 11:37.070
Over the next few, we'll produce 
results and improve our standing.

11:37.820 --> 11:42.450
In the best-case scenario, we're assigned 
to supreme command in the Valiant battle.

11:43.160 --> 11:45.370
And if we have a good showing,

11:45.370 --> 11:50.700
we'll definitely go down in history 
as the strongest Seekers.

11:51.710 --> 11:54.000
We're an invincible swordsman
 from the Far East,

11:54.540 --> 11:56.380
the granddaughter of a legendary assassin,

11:56.840 --> 11:59.760
and the grandson of Overdeath.

12:00.430 --> 12:02.420
But that still isn't enough.

12:02.420 --> 12:04.590
We don't have time to dilly-dally.

12:04.590 --> 12:07.010
<i>If we want to make the regalia quickly,</i>

12:07.010 --> 12:11.340
<i>we'll need to make a name for ourselves 
before we even become a clan.</i>

12:11.340 --> 12:13.730
Extra, extra!

12:13.730 --> 12:16.440
Zeke of Supreme Dragon has done it again!

12:16.440 --> 12:20.110
He took out a lord with 
an abyssal depth rating of 12!

12:20.650 --> 12:23.320
What we need is a story.

12:23.320 --> 12:29.080
We need to instigate an event
 that will grab the attention of the masses.

12:32.000 --> 12:33.460
Rest assured.

12:34.250 --> 12:36.630
I'll come up with a plan.

12:38.040 --> 12:41.050
The <b>Snake Sharpens
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h</b>Its<b> Fangs</b>

12:41.760 --> 12:45.430
Mr. Noel, for your new
 Talker specialization...

12:45.430 --> 12:47.890
you've chosen Strategist, correct?

12:47.890 --> 12:49.550
Yes, please.

12:49.550 --> 12:53.140
I will now commence 
the rank advancement ritual.

12:53.600 --> 12:57.190
I stand here that I may open
new paths for you.

12:57.190 --> 13:00.270
You, who seeks greater power,

13:00.770 --> 13:04.280
must turn your eyes to the ocean within.

13:04.280 --> 13:07.910
It will be the light of wisdom 
that illuminates the water's surface.

13:07.910 --> 13:11.410
That light shall become 
a door leading to our world.

13:12.490 --> 13:15.560
And I open this new door for you!

13:17.750 --> 13:21.750
<i>Strategist is a B-rank Talker specialization.</i>

13:21.750 --> 13:25.010
<i>Its main draw is its incredible
augmentation of cognitive speed.</i>

13:25.010 --> 13:27.510
<i>I'll be able to analyze battles in real time</i>

13:27.510 --> 13:31.510
<i>and instantly predict what will happen 
with near-perfect accuracy.</i>

13:33.720 --> 13:35.930
You're so dreamy, Sir Zeke!

13:35.930 --> 13:38.940
Care to get dinner with me? My treat.

13:39.480 --> 13:41.520
Zeke Feinstein.

13:41.520 --> 13:44.230
Oh? Would you happen to be...

13:44.230 --> 13:45.690
Well, well.

13:46.070 --> 13:50.820
If it isn't Zeke, submaster of Supreme 
Dragon, the empire's strongest clan.

13:51.410 --> 13:53.030
It's an honor to meet you.

13:53.030 --> 13:58.290
I've heard lots about you 
as well, Noel Stollen.

13:58.540 --> 14:03.420
<i>There are only three 
EX-rank Seekers in the capital.</i>

14:03.420 --> 14:07.920
<i>The master of Pandemonium, 
Leo Edin, also known as Kingslayer.</i>

14:08.510 --> 14:13.100
<i>The master of Supreme Dragon, Victor 
Krauser, also known as the Beginning One.</i>

14:13.560 --> 14:15.720
<i>And, of course, the third...</i>

14:15.720 --> 14:20.800
<i>is this guy, Zeke Feinstein, 
also known as the Innocent Blade.</i>

14:20.800 --> 14:25.230
They say you're the grandson 
of the legendary Overdeath.

14:25.230 --> 14:28.990
I am, yes, though I'm not very much like him.

14:28.990 --> 14:34.830
Really? Because rumor has it that you
 fought off the Gambino family.

14:35.110 --> 14:37.040
No way! Have you mistaken me for someone else?

14:37.500 --> 14:43.920
Then was it also a coincidence that 
they got a new boss soon after?

14:44.590 --> 14:48.380
I'm very curious as to 
what sort of trick you used.

14:49.760 --> 14:50.970
What a surprise.

14:51.380 --> 14:51.970
Hmm?

14:52.470 --> 14:57.470
The great submaster of Supreme Dragon
 being so roundabout?

14:57.770 --> 15:01.310
And all to recruit 
a no-name Seeker like myself?

15:01.310 --> 15:05.190
Oh, you figured me out? 
Then I'll cut right to the chase.

15:05.860 --> 15:09.780
Join Supreme Dragon. 
It's a good deal for you—

15:09.780 --> 15:10.740
I refuse.

15:11.400 --> 15:14.620
I don't intend to work under anyone.

15:16.870 --> 15:22.920
Is that so? But my policy is never to hold 
back when it comes to getting what I want.

15:23.580 --> 15:25.380
So brute force it is?

15:25.380 --> 15:27.000
If that's what you wish.

15:27.000 --> 15:29.710
Then let me see this great power of yours.

15:31.220 --> 15:37.390
If I'm going to work under someone,
they have to meet my definition of strong.

15:37.390 --> 15:40.850
There are three EX-rank Seekers in Etrai.

15:40.850 --> 15:43.900
Victor is aging, which leaves two...

15:44.230 --> 15:45.860
You and Leo.

15:46.190 --> 15:48.110
Which of you is stronger?

15:49.570 --> 15:55.320
You're saying your condition is that 
I prove myself stronger than Leo?

15:55.320 --> 16:01.000
If you want to order me around, I want
 to see that you're the strongest of all.

16:01.000 --> 16:02.250
<i>This guy...</i>

16:02.660 --> 16:06.630
<i>If Leo and I clash, one of us is sure to die.</i>

16:06.630 --> 16:09.250
<i>Which is why we can't fight,
and he knows that!</i>

16:11.010 --> 16:15.390
I see. You're a pretty nasty fellow.

16:15.390 --> 16:17.470
I'll take that as a compliment.

16:17.470 --> 16:20.390
Come see me again
 once you make good on my terms.

16:21.470 --> 16:22.680
Hey, check it out.

16:22.680 --> 16:25.730
That's Zeke, the second best Seeker in Etrai.

16:25.730 --> 16:26.400
Wow.

16:27.360 --> 16:31.070
He took out a depth 12 lord by himself 
just the other day.

16:31.070 --> 16:33.450
Did you just say something?

16:33.450 --> 16:35.610
Huh? E-Er, yeah.

16:35.990 --> 16:40.120
You said I was second best, right?
Why is that?

16:40.120 --> 16:41.780
Well, there's Leo...

16:41.780 --> 16:44.830
I've never fought Leo personally.

16:44.830 --> 16:47.330
How could you possibly know I'm weaker?

16:47.830 --> 16:53.170
W-Well, everyone says 
Leo has soloed more lords...

16:57.590 --> 16:59.140
"Second best."

16:59.470 --> 17:02.850
I see. So that's a sore spot for him.

17:03.270 --> 17:07.560
We need to form our clan before this 
becomes a troublesome mess.

17:13.490 --> 17:14.940
Quick Attack!

17:15.280 --> 17:16.200
She's gone?

17:20.410 --> 17:21.160
There.

17:21.410 --> 17:22.870
I win again.

17:27.670 --> 17:30.460
Yeah, you're not suited to the rear line.

17:30.460 --> 17:32.800
Are my attacks too one-note?

17:32.800 --> 17:35.550
Hmm... I'd say you get a little too heated.

17:35.550 --> 17:38.720
You didn't notice that I snuck 
into your blind spot just now.

17:39.680 --> 17:43.810
The rear's job is to 
take stock and execute strategy.

17:43.810 --> 17:47.060
You need a bird's-eye view and a cool head.

17:47.060 --> 17:48.690
Think Noel. He's a good example.

17:49.100 --> 17:51.900
Maybe Assassin really is 
the specialization for me.

17:51.900 --> 17:53.500
I think so, too.

17:53.500 --> 17:55.940
I mean, yeah, party balance is important,

17:55.940 --> 17:58.320
but I'm sure Noel will work things out.

17:58.770 --> 18:01.490
Hey, Lycia!

18:01.490 --> 18:02.910
Ophelia!

18:02.910 --> 18:07.040
It's been ages! Fancy running into you here.

18:07.040 --> 18:08.120
Combat training?

18:08.120 --> 18:11.210
Yeah. Are you guys returning from a job?

18:11.210 --> 18:12.670
Yep, that's right.

18:12.670 --> 18:15.090
And is this... a new party member?

18:15.090 --> 18:16.550
No, I'm—

18:16.550 --> 18:19.510
Oh, she's a friend of mine! My BFF!

18:19.510 --> 18:22.640
Her name is Alma. 
She only just became a Seeker,

18:22.640 --> 18:25.010
so I'm showing her the ropes and stuff.

18:25.010 --> 18:27.560
Wow, it's your turn to be the mentor, huh?

18:27.850 --> 18:30.850
This is Ophelia. She's with the Winged Knights.

18:30.850 --> 18:34.400
We're from the same village, 
and she's an Archer like me.

18:34.400 --> 18:35.480
Nice to meet you.

18:36.190 --> 18:37.490
Likewise.

18:37.860 --> 18:39.950
We're a party of four.

18:40.820 --> 18:44.030
This scary-looking Lancer is Keim.

18:44.030 --> 18:46.290
Did you have to add "scary-looking"?

18:46.580 --> 18:49.710
This furry fellow is Vaclav, a Summoner.

18:49.710 --> 18:50.870
Mm.

18:50.870 --> 18:54.380
And here we have the 
Winged Knights' trusty leader...

18:54.380 --> 18:56.340
Leon Fredric.

18:56.630 --> 18:59.260
Don't believe her. They're the trusty ones.

18:59.260 --> 19:02.010
I'm a leader in name only.

19:02.340 --> 19:05.430
Feel free to talk to us 
if you ever need anything.

19:05.430 --> 19:08.730
Since you're Lycia's BFF, I'd be 
happy to help. I'm rooting for you!

19:09.060 --> 19:10.810
You're too nice.

19:10.810 --> 19:13.400
We Seekers need to look out for one another.

19:13.400 --> 19:16.940
Especially with the weirdos
 running amok lately.

19:16.940 --> 19:18.360
Uh, Ophelia...

19:18.360 --> 19:21.820
Like Noel Stollen. Watch out for that guy.

19:21.820 --> 19:24.660
He leads a party called Blue Beyond.

19:24.910 --> 19:28.540
They say he sold his teammates into slavery
 and has ties with the mafia.

19:28.540 --> 19:31.620
There's no end of shady rumors about him.

19:31.960 --> 19:33.580
Wow, that's awful.

19:33.580 --> 19:34.330
Isn't it?

19:34.630 --> 19:37.170
Apparently, he has new teammates now,

19:37.170 --> 19:39.250
but I bet they're awful too.

19:39.250 --> 19:40.190
Ophelia.

19:41.010 --> 19:43.970
You shouldn't judge people based on gossip.

19:43.970 --> 19:47.640
Stop telling the newbie things 
that may or may not be true.

19:48.180 --> 19:49.220
But...

19:49.220 --> 19:52.560
I don't like badmouthing folks we don't know.

19:53.140 --> 19:53.980
Sorry.

19:54.400 --> 19:56.610
We should get going, Leon.

19:56.610 --> 19:59.360
Let's grab a bite at Rockbird Beak.

19:59.940 --> 20:01.240
See you around.

20:03.860 --> 20:06.950
Sorry about that, Alma. 
She's really a nice person.

20:07.280 --> 20:09.700
It's fine. Most of it's true anyway.

20:14.000 --> 20:15.420
So, boss,

20:15.830 --> 20:17.880
what are you plotting this time?

20:17.880 --> 20:20.840
A list of B-rank parties?

20:21.260 --> 20:24.720
Surely you can't want that
 for any good reason.

20:25.330 --> 20:30.720
This one is a cut above, 
both in track record and reputation.

20:30.720 --> 20:34.560
Hmm? Yeah, I don't understand 
why they haven't formed a clan yet.

20:34.560 --> 20:37.230
Though, apparently, 
their motto is "slow and steady."

20:37.610 --> 20:40.190
This business is full of ruffians.

20:40.190 --> 20:43.360
I guess a prim and proper 
goody two-shoes would stick out.

20:43.360 --> 20:47.490
When it comes down to it, 
the masses love their righteous heroes.

20:48.490 --> 20:51.700
He's basically a knight 
in shining armor, don't you think?

20:52.080 --> 20:54.830
And not just in appearance. 
Has the strength to back it up, too.

20:55.260 --> 20:58.080
He's probably the best 
B-rank Seeker out there.

20:58.080 --> 20:59.920
"The best," huh?

21:00.210 --> 21:03.920
Oh, right. You made B rank too, didn't you?

21:03.920 --> 21:05.430
That's awesome. Congrats.

21:05.930 --> 21:08.140
Quit it with the obvious flattery.

21:08.470 --> 21:10.350
Okay, I've decided.

21:10.350 --> 21:12.310
Cheers!

21:12.310 --> 21:15.350
Leon, you stole the show on this mission again.

21:15.350 --> 21:17.940
That was one splendid blow.

21:17.940 --> 21:20.150
I couldn't have done it without you all.

21:20.610 --> 21:23.820
It never would've gone
 so smoothly if I were solo.

21:23.820 --> 21:25.780
Keim, your backup was a huge help.

21:26.030 --> 21:28.700
Nah, that was all you, Leon.

21:28.700 --> 21:32.870
By the way, Leon, during that last job...

21:32.870 --> 21:35.500
<i>Everyone has a sore spot. A weakness.</i>

21:36.290 --> 21:41.540
<i>Even Zeke Feinstein, one of the strongest 
in the empire, is no exception.</i>

21:42.090 --> 21:45.970
<i>When you attack his sore spot, 
his smile vanishes and his act crumbles.</i>

21:46.930 --> 21:48.180
Boss...

21:48.470 --> 21:50.970
You've got one evil look on your face.

21:50.970 --> 21:55.270
Well, I'm not like this goody two-shoes here.

21:55.730 --> 21:57.870
I will leave no stone unturned.

21:57.870 --> 22:02.230
I'll drag myself to the very top, 
and I'll do it my way.

23:35.030 --> 23:40.040
The <b>Haves </b>and the <b>Have-Nots</b>
