00:00:0520 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:00:105% of population awakened powers.
00:00:14They became the new elite.
00:00:19Everyone's life is determined by the power test.
00:00:23It separates people into two classes, the ordinary and the elite.
00:00:29Power response confirmed.
00:00:31Elite track. Notify the academy.
00:00:33High compatibility.
00:00:34Pass. You rise.
00:00:49Did he get nothing?
00:00:50Not even a spark.
00:00:51Next.
00:00:52Fail. It forgets you.
00:00:58Your parents were ability users, and what did it get them?
00:01:02They were failures.
00:01:04Disappeared 10 years ago, left nothing behind.
00:01:08And now look at you.
00:01:10No ability, no future.
00:01:12Just like them.
00:01:25Their world is so far from mine.
00:01:29Dad, Mom, where did you go?
00:01:59Level 3 alert.
00:02:02Evacuate immediately.
00:02:03RIP collapse on 5th and Meridian.
00:02:05Ceiling tube inbound.
00:02:11Go throw the here the extracting.
00:02:16Wait, wait, I'm still in here!
00:02:38Oh, no.
00:02:50I can't outrun this!
00:02:53I can't outrun this!
00:02:53I can't outrun this!
00:03:14Mom, Dad, please, help me.
00:03:39How long was I out?
00:03:47What did you do to me?
00:03:51Card draw system activated.
00:03:53Activated.
00:03:54What the?
00:03:54Who's talking?
00:04:12A system?
00:04:13What is this?
00:04:15Defeat monsters.
00:04:16Draw cards.
00:04:18Draw stronger.
00:04:19I can get abilities?
00:04:20Me?
00:04:22I'm an ordinary.
00:04:23This doesn't...
00:04:24Warning.
00:04:25Hostile entity detected.
00:04:2720 meters.
00:04:28That's the same one?
00:04:31First awakening protocol.
00:04:33Wait, right now?
00:04:34Beginning card draw.
00:04:36Come on.
00:04:37Whatever you are, come on!
00:04:40Ability acquired.
00:04:42Flame control.
00:04:44Basic team.
00:04:45Equip to slot 1 or 2.
00:04:47What is this?
00:04:54It's coming.
00:05:03Back off!
00:05:05Back off!
00:05:14I...
00:05:14I...
00:05:15I have an ability?
00:05:23Kill confirmed.
00:05:25Initiating card draw.
00:05:26Defeating monsters?
00:05:28Triggers a draw?
00:05:36Ability acquired.
00:05:37Shockwave.
00:05:38Basic tier.
00:05:39Slot 2 of 2.
00:05:40Equipped.
00:05:44Full.
00:05:54You're alive?
00:05:56That mark.
00:05:57Are you an ability user?
00:06:01I don't know.
00:06:06Move.
00:06:34That's D-level ability user.
00:06:37Trained.
00:06:37Coordinated.
00:06:38Practiced.
00:06:39If that's the baseline,
00:06:41where am I trying to go?
00:06:52More abilities.
00:06:54More range.
00:06:56More.
00:06:57More.氏
00:06:58Será. I don't
00:07:11know. I don't
00:07:12know.
00:07:13Let's go.
00:08:06Let's go.
00:08:12Let's go.
00:08:14Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:08:21This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says three. Which one do we trust?
00:08:37A civilian demonstrating ability? That contradicts a century of awakening biology. The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some
00:08:46rift zone anomaly. Three independent scans, Hargrave. Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
00:08:52If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
00:08:59a populated area? Merit is our standard. Not bloodline. Not test scores. Find him.
00:09:15What are you?
00:09:24Cole Brennan?
00:09:26Who are you?
00:09:32Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office. The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
00:09:47Pinnacle Academy. You think they don't screen their applications?
00:09:52No ability. Not low. Zero. That's what's on your file. They're not going to make an exception for a delivery
00:10:03boy because he got lucky near a rift. Stop staring at it. Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
00:10:10Food gets cold.
00:10:22Not to prove anything. Not to them. Not to him.
00:10:29Pinnacle has class D rift acts. Restricted zones. Places that don't show up in any civilian database. But in those
00:10:37rifts, something happened in there.
00:10:39That envelope is an invitation. It's a door.
00:10:47I'll go.
00:11:12No badge. No uniform either. Is he ordinary?
00:11:20No badge. No uniform. What are you doing in here? Meeting with Director Reynolds. I'm here to see the director.
00:11:28Reynolds?
00:11:33What? Did a rift open near your house? You looking for someone to come deal with it? Nobody said I
00:11:39needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:11:41My grandfather helped build this program. My dad held the school fire record until two years ago. Every Ashford who
00:11:48walked these halls earned their spot. You looked me up.
00:11:57Your file says no ability. But surveillance caught you using flame and shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
00:12:03I didn't know what was happening to me. I still don't fully understand it.
00:12:07The Brennan name is in this building's founding records. I need to verify your abilities. Not because I doubt what
00:12:14I saw on the footage. Because this academy has to see it for itself. Tomorrow. The entrance exam. Prove your
00:12:22worth.
00:12:24I will.
00:12:30That's the one Reynolds let in? Zero on the F-Greed assessment. Literally zero. He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:12:41Ladies and gentlemen. He actually showed up. I told you yesterday. I told all of you. Reynolds let a civilian
00:12:47walk through the front gate. And here he is. Ready for his assessment.
00:12:53Every single one of you earned your spot. Tests. Certifications. Years of training. And Reynolds just hands this guy a
00:13:00pass.
00:13:02So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today. Set the bar. Remind everyone what this place is actually
00:13:08for.
00:13:17That's D rank fire. Top of the class. I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:13:22Your turn Brennan. Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:13:28Big throw. Big throw. Biggest he's got. You can see it coming from across the room. His whole body loads
00:13:34up before he lets go.
00:13:36One shot. He's already winded. That was his best. And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:13:46That was your best shot? Excuse me?
00:13:50You asked to go first. You picked the biggest dummy on the floor. Held the fireball an extra second. So
00:13:57everyone could see it. So...
00:13:59Is that it?
00:14:02You have no idea what you're walking into. People with real training walk into D rank rifts and don't come
00:14:08back.
00:14:08You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us. I don't think I'm
00:14:12one of you.
00:14:14I think I'm here to take a test. And you're in the way.
00:14:22Cole Brennan. It's your turn. Demonstrate your ability.
00:14:29Forget him. Forget the crowd. None of them matter right now.
00:14:34Reynolds knows something about mom and dad. She has to. And Pinnacle has D-Rag Rift access. That's where they
00:14:41were last seen.
00:14:43That's why I'm here. This is the only shot I've got. Don't blow it.
00:14:48You're the only shot I've got to see.

00:16:03They were failures.

00:16:11No ability, no future.
00:16:14Just like them.
00:16:26Their world is so far from mine.
00:16:30Dad, Mom, where did you go?
00:17:00Level 3 alert.
00:17:03Evacuate immediately.
00:17:04Rift collapse on 5th and Meridian.
00:17:06Ceiling tube inbound.
00:17:12Go throw the here at extracting.
00:17:17Wait, wait. I'm still in here.
00:17:38Oh, no.
00:17:40Oh, no.
00:17:51I can't outrun this.
00:17:54I can't outrun this.
00:18:15Mom, Dad, please help me.
00:18:40How long was I out?
00:18:48What did you do to me?
00:18:52Card draw system activated.
00:18:54Activated.
00:18:55What the?
00:18:56Who's talking?

00:19:54It's coming.
00:20:04Back off!
00:20:15I... I... I have an ability?
00:20:24Kill confirmed. Initiating card draw.
00:20:27Defeating monsters? Triggers a draw?
00:20:37Ability acquired. Shockwave. Basic tier. Slot 2 of 2. Equipped.
00:20:45Full.
00:20:55You're alive? That mark. Are you an ability user?
00:21:02I don't know.
00:21:07Move.
00:21:27Owen, run!
00:21:36That's D-level ability user. Trained, coordinated, practiced. If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
00:21:53More abilities. More range. More.
00:21:58We're...
00:22:08We're...
00:22:09We're...
00:22:11We're...
00:22:17We're...

00:23:15Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:23:22This young man.
00:23:24Pull his file.

00:23:52He has no ability.
00:23:54If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time
00:23:59the rift opens in a populated area?
00:24:02Merit is our standard.
00:24:04Not bloodline.
00:24:06Not test scores.
00:24:08Find him.
00:24:16What are you?
00:24:25Cold Brennan?
00:24:27Who are you?
00:24:33Pinnacle Academy.
00:24:35Admissions office.
00:24:37The Chancellor wants to meet you.
00:24:38Tomorrow.
00:24:40Tomorrow.
00:24:48Pinnacle Academy.
00:24:50You think they don't screen their applications?
00:24:53No ability.
00:24:55Not low.
00:24:57Zero.
00:24:59That's what's on your file.
00:25:01They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
00:25:07Stop staring at it.
00:25:09Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
00:25:12Food gets cold.
00:25:23Not to prove anything.
00:25:25Not to them.

00:25:30Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
00:25:33Restricted zones.
00:25:35Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:25:38But in those rifts, something happened in there.

00:26:24What are you doing in here?
00:26:25Meeting with Director Reynolds.
00:26:26I'm here to see the director.
00:26:29Reynolds?
00:26:31Reynolds?
00:26:34What?
00:26:35Did a rift open near your house?
00:26:37You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:26:40You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:26:40Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:26:43My grandfather helped build this program.
00:26:45My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
00:26:49Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
00:26:51You looked me up.
00:26:58Your file says no ability.

00:27:17Because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:27:20Tomorrow.
00:27:21The entrance exam.
00:27:23Prove your worth.
00:27:25I will.
00:27:31That's the one Reynolds let in?
00:27:33Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
00:27:35Literally zero.
00:27:37He's not even wearing a uniform!
00:27:42Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up.
00:27:45I told you yesterday.
00:27:46I told all of you.
00:27:47Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
00:27:50And here he is.
00:27:51Ready for his assessment.
00:27:55Every single one of you earned your spot.
00:27:57Tests, certifications, years of training.
00:27:59And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
00:28:03So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
00:28:05Set the bar.
00:28:06Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
00:28:18That's D-rank fire.
00:28:20Top of the class.
00:28:21I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:28:23Your turn, Brennan.
00:28:25Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:28:29Big throw.
00:28:31Biggest he's got.
00:28:32You can see it coming from across the room.

00:28:40That was his best.
00:28:41And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:28:47That was your best shot?
00:28:49Excuse me?
00:28:51You asked to go first.
00:28:53You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
00:28:55Held the fireball an extra second.
00:28:58So everyone could see.
00:28:59So, was that it?
00:29:03You have no idea what you're walking into.
00:29:06People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
00:29:10You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
00:29:13I don't think I'm one of you.
00:29:15I think I'm here to take a test.
00:29:17And you're in the way.
00:29:24Cole Brennan.
00:29:25It's your turn.
00:29:27Demonstrate your ability.
00:29:30Forget him.
00:29:31Forget the crowd.
00:29:32None of them matter right now.
00:29:35Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
00:29:38She has to.
00:29:39And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
00:29:42That's where they were last seen.
00:29:44That's why I'm here.
00:29:46This is the only shot I've got.
00:29:47Don't blow it.

00:30:51Next.
00:30:51Fail.
00:30:52It forgets you.
00:30:58Your parents were ability users.
00:31:00And what did it get them?
00:31:01They were failures.
00:31:03Disappeared 10 years ago.
00:31:05Left nothing behind.
00:31:07And now look at you.
00:31:09No ability.
00:31:10No future.
00:31:12Just like them.
00:31:24Their world is so far from mine.
00:31:28Dad.
00:31:29Mom.
00:31:30Where did you go?

00:38:13Director Reynolds you should see this
00:38:20This young man pull his file the test says nothing
00:38:28The footage says three
00:38:30Which one do we trust?
00:38:37A civilian demonstrating ability
00:38:40That contradicts a century of awakening biology
00:38:43The instruments are the reliable variable here not some rift zone anomaly
00:38:47Three independent scans Hargrave
00:38:49Then the scans confirmed it he has no ability
00:38:52If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored
00:38:56What happens the next time the rift opens in a populated area?
00:39:00Merit is our standard
00:39:02Not bloodline
00:39:03Not bloodline
00:39:04Not test scores
00:39:06Find him
00:39:14What are you?
00:39:23Coal Brennan?
00:39:24Coal Brennan?
00:39:25Who are you?
00:39:31Pinnacle Academy
00:39:33Admissions office
00:39:35The Chancellor wants to meet you tomorrow
00:39:46Pinnacle Academy
00:39:47Pinnacle Academy
00:39:48You think they don't screen their applications?
00:39:52No ability
00:39:54Not low
00:39:55Zero
00:39:57That's what's on your file
00:39:59They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy
00:40:02Because he got lucky near a rift
00:40:04Stop staring at it
00:40:06Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes
00:40:09Food gets cold
00:40:21Not to prove anything
00:40:23Not to them
00:40:25Not to him
00:40:29Pinnacle has class D rift axe
00:40:32Restricted zones
00:40:33Places that don't show up in any civilian database
00:40:35But in those rifts
00:40:37Something happened in there
00:40:38That envelope is an invitation
00:40:40It's a door
00:40:46I'll go
00:41:12No badge
00:41:12No uniform either
00:41:14Is he ordinary?
00:41:19No badge?
00:41:20No uniform?
00:41:22What are you doing in here?
00:41:23Meeting with Director Reynolds
00:41:24I'm here to see the director
00:41:27Reynolds?
00:41:32What?
00:41:33Did a rift open near your house?
00:41:35You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:41:38Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway
00:41:41My grandfather helped build this program
00:41:43My dad held the school fire record until two years ago
00:41:47Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot
00:41:50You looked me up
00:41:56Your file says no ability
00:41:58But surveillance caught you using flame and shockwave during the E3 rift incident
00:42:02I didn't know what was happening to me
00:42:05I still don't fully understand it
00:42:07The Brennan name is in this building's founding records
00:42:09I need to verify your abilities
00:42:12Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage
00:42:15Because this academy has to see it for itself
00:42:18Tomorrow
00:42:19The entrance exam
00:42:21Prove your worth
00:42:23I will
00:42:29That's the one Reynolds let in?
00:42:31Zero on the F greed assessment
00:42:33Literally zero
00:42:34He's not even wearing a uniform
00:42:40Ladies and gentlemen
00:42:41He actually showed up
00:42:43I told you yesterday
00:42:44I told all of you
00:42:45Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate
00:42:48And here he is
00:42:49Ready for his assessment
00:42:53Every single one of you earned your spot
00:42:55Tests, certifications, years of training
00:42:57And Reynolds just
00:42:58Hands this guy a pass
00:43:01So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today
00:43:03Set the bar
00:43:05Remind everyone
00:43:06What this place is actually for
00:43:14Come on
00:43:16That's D rank fire
00:43:18Top of the class
00:43:19I've been doing this since I was 14
00:43:21Your turn Brennan
00:43:22Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for
00:43:27Big throw
00:43:29Biggest he's got
00:43:30You can see it coming from across the room
00:43:32His whole body loads up before he lets go
00:43:36One shot he's already winded
00:43:38That was his best
00:43:39And he wasted it on a practice dummy
00:43:45That was your best shot
00:43:48Excuse me?
00:43:49You asked to go first
00:43:51You picked the biggest dummy on the floor
00:43:53Held the fireball an extra second
00:43:56So everyone could see
00:43:58So...
00:43:58Is that it?
00:44:01You have no idea what you're walking into
00:44:04People with real training walk into D rank rifts and don't come back
00:44:08You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us
00:44:11I don't think I'm one of you
00:44:13I think I'm here to take a test
00:44:15And you're in the way
00:44:22Cole Brennan
00:44:23It's your turn
00:44:25Demonstrate your ability
00:44:28Forget him
00:44:29Forget the crowd
00:44:30None of them matter right now
00:44:33Reynolds knows something about mom and dad
00:44:36She has to
00:44:36And pinnacle has D rank rift access
00:44:39That's where they were last seen
00:44:42That's why I'm here
00:44:43This is the only shot I've got
00:44:46Don't blow it
00:44:47What?
00:44:49Z-Finn
00:44:49To
00:44:49To
00:45:0220 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:45:085% of population awakened powers.
00:45:12They became the new elite.
00:45:16Everyone's life is determined by...
00:45:19The power test. It separates people into two classes, the Ordinary and the Elite.
00:45:26Power response confirmed. Elite track. Notify the academy. High compatibility. Pass. You rise.
00:45:46Did he get nothing? Not even a spark.
00:45:48Next. Fail. It forgets you.
00:45:56Your parents were ability users, and what did it get them? They were failures.
00:46:01Disappeared 10 years ago, left nothing behind.
00:46:04And now look at you. No ability. No future. Just like them.
00:46:23Their world is so far from mine.
00:46:26Dad. Mom. Where did you go?
00:46:56Level 3 alert.
00:46:58Level 3 alert.

00:48:12Mom... Dad... Please... Help me...
00:48:36How long was I out?
00:48:45What did you do to me?
00:48:49Card draw system activated.
00:48:51Activated.
00:48:51What the? Who's talking?
00:49:09A system? What is this?
00:49:12Defeat monsters. Draw cards. Draw stronger.
00:49:16I can get abilities? Me? I'm an ordinary. This doesn't...
00:49:21Warning. Hostile entity detected. 20 meters.
00:49:26That's the same one?
00:49:29First awakening protocol.
00:49:30Wait! Right now?
00:49:31Beginning card draw.
00:49:33Come on! Whatever you are, come on!

00:50:54That mark. Are you an ability user?
00:50:58I don't know.
00:51:04Move.
00:51:23Oh wait, run!
00:51:24Oh wait, run!
00:51:34Trained, coordinated, practiced.
00:51:37If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
00:51:50More abilities. More range. More.
00:52:06More range.
00:52:47Kill confirmed, card draw, ice shot, basic tier, current collection, three abilities, slots, two of two, three abilities, two slots.
00:53:17This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says three. Which one do we trust?
00:53:35A civilian demonstrating ability? That contradicts a century of awakening biology. The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some
00:53:44rift zone anomaly.
00:53:45Three independent scans, Hargrave. Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
00:53:50If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
00:53:56a populated area?
00:53:58Merit is our standard. Not bloodline. Not test scores.
00:54:04Find him.
00:54:12What are you?
00:54:20Cole Brennan?

00:54:33The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
00:54:36Tomorrow.
00:54:44Pinnacle Academy.
00:54:46You think they don't screen their applications?
00:54:50No ability. Not low. Zero.
00:54:55That's what's on your file.
00:54:58They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
00:55:03Stop staring at it.
00:55:04Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes. Food gets cold.
00:55:19Not to prove anything.
00:55:21Not to them.
00:55:23Not to him.
00:55:27Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
00:55:30Restricted zones.
00:55:31Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:55:34But in those rifts, something happened in there.
00:55:36That envelope is an invitation.
00:55:38It's a door.
00:55:44I'll go.
00:56:10No badge. No uniform either.
00:56:12Is he ordinary?
00:56:17No badge.
00:56:19No uniform.
00:56:20What are you doing in here?
00:56:21Meeting with Director Reynolds.
00:56:23I'm here to see the director.
00:56:25Reynolds?
00:56:30What? Did a rift open near your house?
00:56:34You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:56:36Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:56:39My grandfather helped build this program.

00:56:45Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
00:56:48You looked me up.

00:57:08I need to verify your abilities.
00:57:10Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
00:57:13Because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:57:16Tomorrow.
00:57:17The entrance exam.
00:57:19Prove your worth.
00:57:21I will.
00:57:27That's the one Reynolds let in?
00:57:29Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
00:57:32Literally zero.
00:57:33He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:57:38Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up.
00:57:41I told you yesterday.
00:57:42I told all of you.
00:57:44Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
00:57:46And here he is, ready for his assessment.
00:57:51Every single one of you earned your spot.
00:57:53Tests, certifications, years of training.
00:57:56And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
00:57:59So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
00:58:02Set the bar.
00:58:03Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
00:58:14That's D-rank fire.
00:58:16Top of the class.
00:58:17I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:58:20Your turn, Brennan.
00:58:21Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:58:25Big throw.
00:58:27Biggest he's got.
00:58:28You can see it coming from across the room.
00:58:31His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:58:34One shot, he's already winded.
00:58:36That was his best.
00:58:37And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:58:43That was your best shot?
00:58:46Excuse me?
00:58:47You asked to go first.
00:58:49You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
00:58:52Held the fireball an extra second.
00:58:54So everyone could see.
00:58:55So, is that it?
00:58:59You have no idea what you're walking into.
00:59:03People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
00:59:06You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
00:59:09I don't think I'm one of you.
00:59:11I think I'm here to take a test.
00:59:13And you're in the way.
00:59:20Cole Brennan.
00:59:21It's your turn.
00:59:23Demonstrate your ability.
00:59:26Forget him.
00:59:27Forget the crowd.
00:59:29None of them matter right now.
00:59:31Reynolds knows something about Mom and Dad.
00:59:34She has to.
00:59:35And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
00:59:38That's where they were last seen.
00:59:41That's why I'm here.
00:59:42This is the only shot I've got.
00:59:44Don't blow it.
01:00:0020 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.

01:08:10Director Reynolds, you should see this.
01:08:16This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says three. Which one do we trust?
01:08:33A civilian demonstrating ability? That contradicts a century of awakening biology. The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some
01:08:42rift zone anomaly.
01:08:43Three independent scans, Hargraath. Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
01:08:48If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
01:08:55a populated area?
01:08:56Merit is our standard. Not bloodline. Not test scores. Find him.
01:09:11What are you?
01:09:19Cole Brennan?
01:09:21Who are you?
01:09:27Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office. The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
01:09:43Pinnacle Academy. You think they don't screen their applications?
01:09:47No ability. Not low. Zero.
01:09:53That's what's on your file.
01:09:56They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
01:10:01Stop staring at it.
01:10:03Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes. Food gets cold.
01:10:18Not to prove anything. Not to them. Not to him.
01:10:25Pinnacle has class D rift acts. Restricted zones. Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
01:10:32But in those rifts, something happened in there. That envelope is an invitation. It's a door.
01:10:42I'll go.
01:11:08No badge. No uniform either.
01:11:10Is he ordinary?
01:11:15No badge. No uniform. What are you doing in here?
01:11:19Meeting with Director Reynolds. I'm here to see the director. Reynolds?
01:11:29What? Did a rift open near your house? You looking for someone to come deal with it?
01:11:34Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
01:11:37My grandfather helped build this program.
01:11:39My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
01:11:43Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
01:11:46You looked me up.
01:11:53Your file says no ability, but surveillance caught you using flame and shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
01:11:59I didn't know what was happening to me. I still don't fully understand it.
01:12:03The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
01:12:06I need to verify your abilities. Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage, because this academy has
01:12:13to see it for itself.
01:12:14Tomorrow, the entrance exam. Prove your worth.
01:12:19I will.
01:12:25That's the one Reynolds let in?
01:12:27Zero on the F-Greed assessment. Literally zero.
01:12:31He's not even wearing a uniform.
01:12:37Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up.
01:12:39I told you yesterday. I told all of you.
01:12:41Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate, and here he is, ready for his assessment.
01:12:49Every single one of you earned your spot.
01:12:51Tests, certifications, years of training.
01:12:54And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
01:12:57So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
01:13:00Set the bar. Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
01:13:13That's D-rank fire. Top of the class. I've been doing this since I was 14.
01:13:18Your turn, Brennan. Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
01:13:24Big throw. Big throw. Biggest he's got.
01:13:26You can see it coming from across the room. His whole body loads up before he lets go.
01:13:32One shot, he's already winded. That was his best, and he wasted it on a practice dummy.
01:13:41That was your best shot?
01:13:44Excuse me?
01:13:45You asked to go first.
01:13:47You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
01:13:50Held the fireball an extra second.
01:13:52So everyone could see.
01:13:54So...
01:13:55Is that it?
01:13:58You have no idea what you're walking into.
01:14:01People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
01:14:04You got lucky once in some alley, and you think that makes you one of us.
01:14:07I don't think I'm one of you.
01:14:09I think I'm here to take a test.
01:14:12And you're in the way.
01:14:18Cole Brennan.
01:14:19It's your turn.
01:14:21Demonstrate your ability.
01:14:24Forget him. Forget the crowd.
01:14:27None of them matter right now.
01:14:30Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
01:14:32She has to.
01:14:33And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
01:14:36That's where they were last seen.
01:14:39That's why I'm here.
01:14:40This is the only shot I've got.
01:14:42Don't blow it.
01:14:59The Great Awakening
01:15:00Twenty years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
01:15:04Five percent of population awakened powers.
01:15:08They became the new elite.
01:15:13Everyone's life is determined by...
01:15:15The Power Test.
01:15:17It separates people into two classes.
01:15:19The Ordinary and the Elite.
01:15:22Power response confirmed.
01:15:24Elite track.
01:15:25Notify the Academy.
01:15:27High compatibility.
01:15:28Pass. You rise.
01:15:43Did he get nothing?
01:15:44Not even a spark.
01:15:45Next.
01:15:45Fail.
01:15:46It forgets you.
01:15:52Your parents were ability users.
01:15:55And what did it get them?
01:15:56They were failures.
01:15:57Disappeared ten years ago.
01:15:59Left nothing behind.
01:16:01And now look at you.
01:16:03No ability.
01:16:05No future.
01:16:06Just like them.
01:16:07No future.
01:16:08No future.
01:16:15No future.
01:16:17No future.
01:16:19No future.
01:16:20Their world.
01:16:21Is so far from mine.
01:16:23Dad.
01:16:24Mom.
01:16:25Where did you go?
01:16:27.
01:16:32Number two.
01:16:52Level three alert.
01:16:55Evacuate immediately.
01:16:57RIP collapse on Bith and Meridian.
01:16:58Ceiling tube inbound.
01:17:05Co-throw to hear the extracting.
01:17:09Wait, wait, I'm still in here!
01:17:31Oh no.
01:17:44I can't outrun this!
01:17:54Oh no.
01:18:08Mom. Dad.
01:18:11Please. Help me.
01:18:32How long was I out?
01:18:41What did you do to me?
01:18:45Card draw system activated.
01:18:47Activated.
01:18:48What the? Who's talking?
01:19:05A system?
01:19:07Wh-what is this?
01:19:08Defeat monsters.
01:19:10Draw cards.
01:19:11Grow stronger.
01:19:12I can get abilities?
01:19:14Me?
01:19:15I'm an ordinary. This doesn't-
01:19:18Warning. Hostile entity detected.
01:19:2020 meters.
01:19:22That's the same one?
01:19:24I'm an ordinary. This doesn't-
01:19:25First awakening protocol.
01:19:27Wait! Right now?
01:19:28Beginning card draw.
01:19:30Come on!
01:19:31Whatever you are, come on!
01:19:34Ability acquired. Flame control.
01:19:38Basic table. Equipped to slot one or two.
01:19:41What is this?
01:19:48It's coming.
01:19:57Back off!
01:19:58Back off!
01:20:07I...
01:20:08I...
01:20:09I have an ability?
01:20:17Kill confirmed. Initiating card draw.
01:20:20Defeating monsters? Triggers a draw?
01:20:29Ability acquired. Shockwave. Basic tier. Slot two of two. Equipped.
01:20:37Full.
01:20:48You're alive?
01:20:50You're alive?
01:20:50That mark. Are you an ability user?
01:20:55I don't know.
01:21:00Move.
01:21:11No way!
01:21:12No way!
01:21:17No way!
01:21:19Always! Run!
01:21:21Run!
01:21:28That's D-Level Ability User.
01:21:30Trained, Coordinated, Practiced.
01:21:33If that's the baseline,
01:21:34Where am I trying to go?
01:21:46More abilities. More range. More.
01:22:04More.
01:22:43Kill confirmed, card draw, ice shot, basic tier, current collection, three abilities, slots, two of two, three abilities, two slots.
01:23:08Director Reynolds, you should see this.
01:23:14This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says three. Which one do we trust?
01:23:31A civilian demonstrating ability? That contradicts a century of awakening biology. The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some
01:23:40rift zone anomaly.
01:23:41Three independent scans, Hargrave. Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
01:23:46If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
01:23:53a populated area? Merit is our standard.
01:23:56Not bloodline. Not test scores. Find him.
01:24:09What are you?
01:24:17Cole Brennan?
01:24:19Who are you?
01:24:25Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office. The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
01:24:41Pinnacle Academy.
01:24:43You think they don't screen their applications? No ability. Not low. Zero.
01:24:51That's what's on your file.
01:24:54They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
01:24:59Stop staring at it.
01:25:01Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
01:25:04Food gets cold.
01:25:16Not to prove anything.
01:25:18Not to them.
01:25:20Not to him.
01:25:23Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
01:25:26Restricted zones.
01:25:27Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
01:25:30But in those rifts,
01:25:31something happened in there.
01:25:33That envelope is an invitation.
01:25:34It's a door.
01:25:40I'll go.
01:25:42I'll go.
01:26:06No badge.
01:26:07No uniform either.
01:26:08Is he ordinary?
01:26:14No badge?
01:26:15No uniform?
01:26:16What are you doing in here?
01:26:17Meeting with Director Reynolds.
01:26:19I'm here to see the director.
01:26:22Reynolds?
01:26:27What?
01:26:27Did a rift open near your house?
01:26:30You looking for someone to come deal with it?
