Rising Impact (2024) s01e08 Episode Script
The Tryouts Begin
1
Good.
You're so amazing, Mr. Lancelot!
Spot-on as usual.
Your formidable skill brings me to tears.
Thank you.
Kurumi, if you'd like,
why don't we eat lunch at my house?
Well this is
This sandwich is tasty.
I grilled cod roe, loosened it, and put it
with a slice of cheese between some bread.
I can't wait for the day
I visit Mr. Brother-in-law with you.
I'm also excited to see Gawain
and the students at Camelot Academy
with my own eyes.
The tryouts are approaching.
I'm winning it for sure!

TRYOUT DAY
EPISODE 8: THE TRYOUTS BEGIN
I am going to announce the groupings.
Group One.
Gawain Nanaumi,
Wanglian Li,
and Kai Todoin.
Oh my, I'm with Todoin and Wanglian?
I guess they won't speak to me much.
Group Two.
Yumiko Koizumi,
Platalissa Bonaire,
Mika Kuromine,
and Hershey Epor.
There aren't many girls,
so no surprise we're in the same group.
Group Three.
Liebel Ringvald,
Riser Hopkins,
Daichi Arai,
and Hidemi Kanazono.
Let's compete fair and square.
What a bummer.
I was really hoping
to beat down that shrimp.
Considering the level balance,
we'll be using course B.
The top seven players in stroke play
will pass the tryouts.
And now,
let the Camelot Cup qualifying match
commence.
Jeez, I wonder if Gawain
is taking a bath every day.
I'm so worried.
Hey, sis, please be quiet.
You keep talking
only about Mr. Brother-in-law.
They said we could see him
after the tryouts.
Will we be too early?
Oh, well.
Wow! The shape of this hole is crazy!
This looks like a naruto.
It's a spiral.
THE FIRST HOLE
"SPIRAL"
But the green is right in the middle.
I can hit it in one stroke.
It's easy-peasy.
Say that after we get to the tee box.
What?
There are a lot of huge and thick trees.
It's impossible to hit it over the woods.
That's right.
This course forces you to turn right.
This means you'll have to slice it.
What do I do now?
I can't hit a slice intentionally.
Let's decide the order.
Okay, I usually have no luck with draws.
I want to see their shots first.
You have the honor.
Darn it!
I really don't know what to do.
Gawain's shots fly straight and precise.
However, that's also his weakness
as he can only hit straight.
Okay!
A straight hit will go out of bounds
in the woods.
What are you going to do?
It's low. It'll fly into the woods.
Did he miss the shot already?
All right! Go!
It worked as well as planned.
Do you want to call luck your ability?
No, I can only hit it straight,
so I thought if I hit that tree,
the ball might luckily bounce back.
I intentionally hit a top spin shot.
He's got the luck he needs for golf.
It wasn't bad for an impromptu plan.
But where the ball bounces is up to luck.
Right? Yay, I got complimented!
I'll show him it's nothing
compared to real ability.
Wow! Amazing!
It fell along the course beautifully!
Typical of an A rank.
But when it comes to ball control,
I'm confident too.
Squish?
A wooden driver!
That's classic!
It's a club made from persimmon wood.
That's so lame.
I can't believe you're still using
such an outdated club.
Old and new clubs each have unique traits.
Master their advantages, and there's
no such thing as better or worse.
Well
It's so tranquil. It's like he became
one with the woods.
His shot turned more sharply
than Todoin's
Whoa! His ball turned
almost at a right angle!
Did that guy time his hit
with the gust of wind?
FIRST STROKE
WANGLIAN 250 YARDS
TODOIN 220 YARDS
GAWAIN 200 YARDS
Well, I wish you all the best.
I'll follow you after I check
on the other two groups.
Anyway, your slice was amazing earlier!
One reason is that I read the wind.
Another is
the characteristic of persimmon.
It's less resilient than metal,
keeping the ball on the face longer
for easier spinning.
This means it's easier
to hit a slice or hook.
I see!
We haven't finished the first hole yet,
but the first shots
already show their greatness.
This is going to be a fun game!
Mine is in the bunker!
And it's so high up.
Your golf style is fun to watch.
Yeah, this is fun!
Trying to figure out
how to overcome challenges is fun!
Just admit your mistake.
You can't hit it at that height.
On a slope,
moving the ball with sand
results in a penalty.
Right. Declare it unplayable
and drop the ball where you can hit.
Okay!
I'll take the driver!
What? A driver for the bunker?
I can see part of the ball.
Not sure if it'll work,
but I'll give it a shot!
It's impossible.
The ball won't go far
with that unstable position.
-What?
-What?
Squish
Where did it go?
Oh no! My ball!
Maybe it's in the woods,
out of bounds?
Gosh! What should I do now?
Gawain,
that was a great slice.
What do you mean?
Your ball is way around the corner.
What a lucky boy.
What? Around the corner?
I can't hit a slice, though.
Probably losing your balance midair
made you take a slice swing naturally.
Your luck and boldness
brought this result.
Where my ball dropped is a problem.
I have no choice.
I'll go with the 9-iron.
What?
Is Todoin really going to hit it
with that short club?
We're still nowhere near
close to the green, though.
It's fairly good.
That's what I thought.
It only flew around 130 yards.
He should've chosen a longer iron.
If I were him, I'd do the same
or use a pitching wedge.
You guys are just scared.
I'd have hit a big shot with the 4-iron.
Hey, are you listening to me?
THE SECOND STROKE
WANGLIAN
TODOIN
GAWAIN
This time, I'll go for a fairway wood
at full force!
Well, where's my ball?
It's in a similar spot
as Todoin's earlier.
Well, things might work out.
A pond!
It's a water hazard
that's nearly 40 yards long.
The green is just beyond.
I see.
Looks like we need to hit it quite far,
or it'll drop in the pond.
It's about 200 yards.
I'll go with the 4-iron.
Watch and learn, you two.
Trusting the club's distance
and being aggressive is one thing,
but he doesn't seem to realize
he's already made a mistake.
In the middle of a swing.
Oh no! I topped the ball!
You idiot!
There was a tree right behind you,
and you used a 4-iron.
It should drop into the hazard!
No.
It can't be!
Hurray! I did it!
It landed on the other side!
It's the same as stone skipping.
Stone skipping?
I'm totally sick of this.
Not only will I pass the tryouts,
but I'll also smash that shorty
and his luck.
And you too, Wanglian.
Bring it on.
THE THIRD STROKE
TODOIN
GAWAIN
WANGLIAN
Wow!
That's the green!
STROKES TO THE GREEN
TODOIN 4
WANGLIAN 3
GAWAIN 4
It's uphill, left to right.
The grass is against the grain.
The distance is eight meters.
I can putt it hard.
Oh, so close!
It turned right a bit.
I'm not disappointed.
My touch wasn't that bad.
It's probably straight.
Yay!
One meter uphill.
It's a little left to right.
All right, onto the second hole!
THE FIRST HOLE RESUL
GAWAIN 4 ON 1 PUTT ±0
WANGLIAN 3 ON 2 PUTTS ±０
TODOIN 4 ON 1 PUTT ±０
What's next after the swirling hole?
So far, level B
isn't as tough as I thought!
Maybe I can snatch a birdie next.
All right, we're here, Mr. Honor.
The second hole of the level B course.
"Witch's Supper."
Whoa, what a huge rock!
What?
This hole is divided into three routes.
The green is in front.
The choice is yours.
Choose the route you want.
But I'll tell you one thing.
You can't rely on luck alone
from here on out.
Do you mean I'm getting by just on luck?
I mean, don't confuse luck
with real ability.
All right!
I have the honor!
I don't know why it's called
old witch something,
but I'm not scared!
Okay!
He chose the middle, as expected.
You chose the one you shouldn't have.
Woo-hoo! Drivers are the best, after all.
I love them!
What?
Why are they taking the trouble
to make a detour?
See you on the green, then.
Don't cheat like a coward at least.
I wouldn't do that, you idiot!
Oh, Wanglian
On the course you selected,
no one has managed
to make even a bogey on this hole.
I'm sorry.
Wow, it's huge!
Oh, that's why.
There is the old witch.
I'm scared.
It looks like she's glaring at me.
By the way,
I feel like this road is descending.
Yeah, it's descending.
Damn! The ground is muddy!
I don't like this! Boo!
Well, I wish you all the best.
Okay, Ms. Aria! See you later!
Group One must be
on the second hole by now.
I wonder if Gawain
can make it through somehow.
The second hole is the only one
with three separate fairways.
The right route, "Witch's Broom,"
looks normal at first glance,
but the long grass
can be a tough challenge.
The rough is considered
difficult to play from
when it's 10 to 15 centimeters.
But there, it's 20 centimeters,
even on the fairway.
To make it through, you need to have
good head speed to carry the ball freely.
I have one of the highest head speeds
among junior players.
The rough means nothing to me.
And on the left route,
you face the "Witch's Table"
and intense wind gusts.
You need a wind-resistant low ball,
and you must also fully predict the wind.
It's 130 yards left.
With hardly any obstacles,
once you miss, it's surely out of bounds.
The wind is simple and easy to read.
And the middle route
is the "Witch's Cauldron."
Players like Gawain,
determined to gain distance
by the shortest route,
risk severe consequences.
Oh, it flew this far.
It's half sunk in the mud.
And what's more,
the high cliff
is completely blocking the green.
But I can't move on unless I hit it.
All right,
let's get out of here quickly.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Ouch!
Damn! I slipped and messed up big time.
What the heck?
Not only is the ground so muddy,
but the cliff is so sturdy
that the ball bounces off of it.
I hit GIR.
How about you?
GIR too.
Compared to us
It can't be helped.
No one has ever scored well
in the Witch's Cauldron.
Whoa!
That's called useless resistance.
I whiffed.
I've already hit three.
What am I gonna do?
It's too late to panic now.
The moment has passed.
In the Witch's Cauldron,
the cliff's height isn't the main problem.
It's the muddy ground that makes it
impossible to properly stand firm.
Well, at this rate, that shorty
won't even make it in 20 strokes.
I was also trapped there
at a previous tryout
and barely made it onto the green
after 13 strokes,
but I was mentally shattered
by the humiliating score.
It severely affected
the remaining four holes.
Whoa!
Next is the fourth stroke.
I can't waste them anymore.
The ground is in such a crazy condition,
but I won't give up.
I got an idea!
To plant my feet firmly
This won't make me slip!
I'll aim straight up.
The only way to get out of here
is to shovel it out onto the cliff!
I missed it again?
What did he do?
No way. Gawain did this?
Did his ball
just cause this cliff to collapse?
That's Wanglian and Todoin.
I can see the flag!
You two, can you move out of the way?
The sun is shining right behind the flag.
I'll hit it
toward the sun!
Yes! It went over the cliff.
Please,
let my ball be on the green!
No, I can't see it.
Don't tell me I hit it over the green!
Great chip in.
No, I should say a miraculous chip in.
Squish?
Woo-hoo! I did it!
Yay! I'm so happy! Yippee!
Of course the chip in was a fluke.
But judging from his shot
at the bottom of the valley,
his legs and back
must have been incredibly trained.
THE SECOND HOLE RESUL
TODOIN 2 ON 1 PUTT -1
WANGLIAN 2 ON 2 PUTTS ±0
GAWAIN 5 ON 0 PUTT +1
Hello! Excuse me!
Hey, sis, why don't we go in?
There might be a receptionist inside.
I guess that's the only way.
Gawain.
