00:54Fail. It forgets you.
01:00Your parents were ability users, and what did it get them?
01:04They were failures.
01:05Disappeared 10 years ago, left nothing behind.
01:09And now look at you.
01:11No ability, no future.
01:14Just like them.
01:27Their world is so far from mine.
01:31Dad, Mom, where did you go?
02:00Level 3 alert.
02:03Evacuate immediately.
02:05RIP collapse on 5th and Meridian.

02:39Oh, no.
02:40Oh, no.
02:52I can't outrun this.
02:54I can't outrun this.
02:55I can't outrun this.
03:16Mom, Dad, please help me.
03:41How long was I out?
03:49What did you do to me?
03:53Card draw system activated.
03:55Activated.
03:56What the?
03:56Who's talking?
04:13A system?
04:15What is this?
04:16Defeat monsters.
04:18Draw cards.
04:19Draw stronger.
04:20I can get abilities?
04:22Me?
04:23I'm an ordinary.
04:25This doesn't...
04:26Warning.
04:27Hostile entity detected.
04:2920 meters.
04:30That's the same one?
04:33First awakening protocol.
04:35Wait, right now?
04:36Beginning card draw.
04:38Come on.
04:39Whatever you are, come on!
04:42Ability acquired.
04:44Flame control.
04:46Basic team.
04:47Equip to slot 1 or 2.
04:49What is this?
04:56It's coming.
05:05Back off!
05:16I have an ability?
05:18I have an ability?
05:25Kill confirmed.
05:26Initiating card draw.
05:28Defeating monsters?
05:30Triggers a draw?
05:37Ability acquired.
05:39Shockwave.
05:40Basic tier.
05:41Slot 2 of 2.
05:42Equipped.
05:45Full.
05:56You're alive?
05:58That mark.
05:59Are you an ability user?
06:03I don't know.
06:08Move.
06:09Move.
06:36That's D-Level Ability User.
06:38Trained, Coordinated, Practiced, if that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
06:54More Abilities, More Range, More.
06:59More Abilities, More.
08:43That contradicts a century of awakening biology.
08:46The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some rift zone anomaly.
08:49Three independent scans, Hargrave.
08:51Then the scans confirmed it.
08:53He has no ability.
08:54If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
09:01a populated area?
09:02Merit is our standard.
09:05Not bloodline.
09:06Not test scores.
09:08Find him.
09:17What are you?
09:25Cole Brennan?
09:27Who are you?
09:34Pinnacle Academy.
09:35Admissions office.
09:37The chancellor wants to meet you tomorrow.
09:48Pinnacle Academy.
09:51You think they don't screen their applications?
09:54No ability.
09:56Not low.
09:58Zero.
09:59That's what's on your file.
10:02They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
10:07Stop staring at it.
10:09Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
10:12Food gets cold.
10:24Not to prove anything.
10:26Not to them.
10:28Not to him.
10:31Pinnacle has class D rift acts.
10:34Restricted zones.
10:35Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
10:38But in those rifts, something happened in there.
10:41That envelope is an invitation.
10:43It's a door.
10:49I'll go.
11:14No badge.
11:15No uniform either.
11:17Is he ordinary?
11:22No badge.
11:23No uniform.
11:24What are you doing in here?
11:25Meeting with Director Reynolds.
11:27I'm here to see the director.
11:30Reynolds?
11:35What?
11:36Did a rift open near your house?
11:38You looking for someone to come deal with it?
11:40Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
11:43My grandfather helped build this program.
11:46My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
11:49Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
11:53You looked me up.
11:59Your file says no ability.
12:01But surveillance caught you using flame and shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
12:05I didn't know what was happening to me.
12:07I still don't fully understand it.
12:09The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
12:12I need to verify your abilities.
12:15Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
12:17Because this academy has to see it for itself.
12:21Tomorrow.
12:22The entrance exam.
12:23Prove your worth.
12:26I will.
12:31That's the one Reynolds let in?
12:34Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
12:36Literally zero.
12:37He's not even wearing a uniform.
12:43Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up.
12:46I told you yesterday.
12:47I told all of you.
12:48Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
12:50And here he is, ready for his assessment.
12:55Every single one of you earned your spot.
12:57Tests, certifications, years of training.
13:00And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
13:04So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
13:06Set the bar.
13:08Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
13:19That's D-rank fire.
13:21Top of the class.
13:22I've been doing this since I was 14.
13:24Your turn, Brennan.
13:25Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
13:30Big throw.
13:31Biggest he's got.
13:33You can see it coming from across the room.
13:35His whole body loads up before he lets go.
13:38One shot, he's already winded.
13:40That was his best.
13:42And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
13:47That was your best shot?
13:50Excuse me?
13:52You asked to go first.
13:53You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
13:56Held the fireball an extra second.
13:58So everyone could see it.
14:00So, is that it?
14:04You have no idea what you're walking into.
14:07People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
14:10You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
14:13I don't think I'm one of you.
14:16I think I'm here to take a test.
14:18And you're in the way.
14:24Cole Brennan.
14:26It's your turn.
14:28Demonstrate your ability.
14:31Forget him.
14:32Forget the crowd.
14:33None of them matter right now.
14:36Reynolds knows something about Mom and Dad.
14:38She has to.
14:39And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
14:42That's where they were last seen.
14:45That's why I'm here.
14:46This is the only shot I've got.
14:48Don't blow it.
15:0020 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
15:055% of population awakened powers.
15:09They became the new elite.
15:14Everyone's life is determined by...

39:23The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
39:35Pinnacle Academy.
39:37You think they don't screen their applications? No ability. Not low. Zero.
39:46That's what's on your file.
39:48They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
39:54Stop staring at it.
39:56Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
39:59Food gets cold.
40:10Not to prove anything.
40:12Not to them.
40:14Not to him.
40:17Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
40:20Restricted zones.
40:22Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
40:25But in those rifts, something happened in there.
40:27That envelope is an invitation. It's a door.
40:35I'll go.
41:00No badge. No uniform either.
41:03Is he ordinary?
41:08No badge. No uniform.
41:11What are you doing in here?
41:12Meeting with Director Reynolds.
41:13I'm here to see the director.
41:16Reynolds?
41:21What? Did a rift open near your house?
41:24You looking for someone to come deal with it?
41:27Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
41:30My grandfather helped build this program.
41:32My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
41:36Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
41:39You looked me up.
41:45Your file says no ability.
41:47But surveillance caught you using Flame and Shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
41:51I didn't know what was happening to me.
41:54I still don't fully understand it.
41:56The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
41:59I need to verify your abilities.
42:01Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
42:04Because this academy has to see it for itself.
42:07Tomorrow.
42:08The entrance exam.
42:10Prove your worth.
42:12I will.
42:18That's the one Reynolds let in?
42:20Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
42:22Literally zero.
42:24He's not even wearing a uniform.
42:29Ladies and gentlemen.
42:31He actually showed up.
42:32I told you yesterday.
42:33I told all of you.
42:34Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
42:37And here he is.
42:38Ready for his assessment.
42:42Every single one of you earned your spot.
42:44Tests.
42:45Certifications.
42:45Years of training.
42:46And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
42:50So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
42:53Set the bar.
42:54Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
43:05That's D-rank fire.
43:07Top of the class.
43:08I've been doing this since I was 14.
43:10Your turn Brennan.
43:11Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
43:16Big throw.
43:18Biggest he's got.
43:19You can see it coming from across the room.
43:21His whole body loads up before he lets go.
43:24One shot.
43:25He's already winded.
43:27That was his best.
43:28And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
43:34That was your best shot?
43:36Excuse me?
43:38You asked to go first.
43:40You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
43:42Held the fireball an extra second.
43:45So everyone could see.
43:46So.
43:47Is that it?
43:50You have no idea what you're walking into.
43:53People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
43:57You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
44:00I don't think I'm one of you.
44:02I think I'm here to take a test.
44:04And you're in the way.
44:11Cole Brennan.
44:12It's your turn.
44:14Demonstrate your ability.
44:17Forget him.
44:18Forget the crowd.
44:19None of them matter right now.
44:22Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
44:25She has to.
44:26And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
44:29That's where they were last seen.
44:31That's why I'm here.
44:33This is the only shot I've got.
44:35Don't blow it.
44:4620 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
44:515% of population awakened powers.
44:55They became the new elite.
45:00Everyone's life is determined by...
45:03The power test.
45:04It separates people into two classes.
45:07The ordinary and the elite.
45:10Power response confirmed.
45:12Elite track.
45:13Notify the academy.
45:14High compatibility.
45:15Pass.
45:16You rise.
45:30Did he get nothing?
45:32Not even a spark.
45:33Next.
45:33Fail.
45:34It forgets you.
45:40Your parents were ability users.
45:42And what did it get them?
45:43They were failures.
45:45Disappeared 10 years ago.
45:47Left nothing behind.
45:49And now look at you.
45:51No ability.
45:52No future.
45:54Just like them.
46:07Their world is so far from mine.
46:10Dad.
46:11Mom.
46:12Where did you go?
46:40Level 3 Alert

52:56Director Reynolds, you should see this.
53:02This young man. Pull his file.
53:06The test says nothing.
53:10The footage says three. Which one do we trust?
53:19A civilian demonstrating ability?
53:22That contradicts a century of awakening biology.
53:25The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some rift zone anomaly.
53:29Three independent scans, Hargrave.
53:31Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
53:33If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
53:40a populated area?
53:42Merit is our standard.
53:44Not bloodline. Not test scores.
53:48Find him.
53:57What are you?
54:05Cole Brennan?
54:07Who are you?
54:13Pinnacle Academy.
54:16The Chancellor wants to meet you tomorrow.
54:28Pinnacle Academy.
54:30Pinnacle Academy.
54:31You think they don't screen their applications?
54:34No ability.
54:36No ability.
54:36Not low.
54:37Not low.
54:38Zero.
54:39That's what's on your file.
54:41They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
54:46Stop staring at it.
54:49Stop staring at it.
54:49Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
54:52Food gets cold.
55:03Not to prove anything.
55:05Not to them.
55:07Not to him.
