Short filmTranscript
00:00:0220 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:00:075% of population awakened powers.
00:00:11They became the new Elite.
00:00:16Everyone's life is determined by the Power Test.
00:00:20It separates people into two classes, the Ordinary and the Elite.
00:00:26Power response confirmed. Elite track.
00:00:29Notify the Academy. High compatibility.
00:00:31Pass. You rise.
00:00:46Did he get nothing? Not even a spark.
00:00:48Next. Fail. It forgets you.
00:00:56Your parents were ability users, and what did it get them?
00:00:59They were failures. Disappeared 10 years ago, left nothing behind.
00:01:04And now look at you. No ability. No future. Just like them.
00:01:22Their world is so far from mine.
00:01:26Dad. Mom. Where did you go?
00:01:56Level 3 alert. Evacuate.
00:01:59Level 3 alert. Evacuate.
00:01:59Level 3 alert.
00:02:00Rift collapse on 5th and Meridian. Ceiling tube inbound.
00:02:08Co-throw to hear the extracting.
00:02:13Wait. Wait. Wait. I'm still in here!
00:02:18Wait. Wait. I'm still in here!
00:02:34Ahahaha!
00:02:35Oh no.
00:02:47I can't outrun this!
00:03:11Mom. Dad. Please. Help me.
00:03:36How long was I out?
00:03:44What did you do to me?
00:03:48Card draw system activated.
00:03:50Activated.
00:03:51What the? Who's talking?
00:04:09A system? What is this?
00:04:12Defeat monsters. Draw cards. Grow stronger.
00:04:16I can get abilities? Me? I'm an ordinary. This doesn't-
00:04:21Warning. Hostile entity detected. 20 meters.
00:04:26That's the same one?
00:04:28First awakening protocol.
00:04:30Wait! Right now?
00:04:31Beginning card draw.
00:04:33Come on! Whatever you are, come on!
00:04:43What is this?
00:04:51It's coming.
00:05:00Back off!
00:05:11I... I... I have an ability?
00:05:20Kill confirmed. Initiating card draw.
00:05:23Defeating monsters? Triggers a draw?
00:05:33Ability acquired. Shockwave. Basic tier. Slot 2 of 2. Equipped.
00:05:41Full.
00:05:51You're alive?
00:05:53You're alive?
00:05:54That mark. Are you an ability user?
00:05:58I don't know.
00:06:03Move.
00:06:05I don't know.
00:06:12You're alive?
00:06:13I don't know.
00:06:13I need your immunity.
00:06:21I don't know.
00:06:22Get out of here.
00:06:23I'm dying.
00:06:23Oh, it's running away.
00:06:31that's d-level ability user trained coordinated practiced if that's the baseline where am i trying
00:06:39to go more abilities more range more
00:07:16so
00:07:21so
00:07:22so
00:07:46Kill confirmed.
00:07:48Card draw.
00:07:49Ice shot.
00:07:50Basic tier.
00:07:51Current collection, three abilities.
00:07:54Slots, two of two.
00:07:55Three abilities, two slots.
00:08:11Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:08:18This young man.
00:08:19Pull his file.
00:08:22The test says nothing.
00:08:26The footage says three.
00:08:28Which one do we trust?
00:08:34A civilian demonstrating ability?
00:08:38That contradicts a century of awakening biology.
00:08:41The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some rift zone anomaly.
00:08:45Three independent scans, Hargrave.
00:08:46Then the scans confirmed it.
00:08:48He has no ability.
00:08:50If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
00:08:56a populated area?
00:08:58Merit is our standard.
00:09:00Not bloodline.
00:09:01Not test scores.
00:09:04Find him.
00:09:12What are you?
00:09:21Cole Brennan?
00:09:23Who are you?
00:09:25Who are you?
00:09:29Pinnacle Academy.
00:09:30Admissions office.
00:09:32The Chancellor wants to meet you tomorrow.
00:09:44Pinnacle Academy.
00:09:46You think they don't screen their applications?
00:09:49No ability.
00:09:51No ability.
00:09:52Not low.
00:09:53Zero.
00:09:55That's what's on your file.
00:09:57They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
00:10:02Stop staring at it.
00:10:05Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
00:10:08Food gets cold.
00:10:19Not to prove anything.
00:10:21Not to them.
00:10:23Not to him.
00:10:26Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
00:10:29Restricted zones.
00:10:31Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:10:33But in those rifts, something happened in there.
00:10:36That envelope is an invitation.
00:10:38It's a door.
00:10:44I'll go.
00:11:09No badge.
00:11:11No uniform either.
00:11:12Is he ordinary?
00:11:17No badge.
00:11:18No uniform.
00:11:19What are you doing in here?
00:11:21Meeting with Director Reynolds.
00:11:22I'm here to see the Director.
00:11:25Reynolds?
00:11:30What?
00:11:31Did a rift open near your house?
00:11:33You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:11:35Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:11:39My grandfather helped build this program.
00:11:41My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
00:11:44Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
00:11:48You looked me up.
00:11:54Your file says no ability.
00:11:56But surveillance caught you using Flame and Shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
00:12:00I didn't know what was happening to me.
00:12:03I still don't fully understand it.
00:12:05The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
00:12:08I need to verify your abilities.
00:12:10Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
00:12:12Because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:12:16Tomorrow.
00:12:17The entrance exam.
00:12:19Prove your worth.
00:12:21I will.
00:12:27That's the one Reynolds let in?
00:12:29Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
00:12:31Literally zero.
00:12:33He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:12:38Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up.
00:12:41I told you yesterday.
00:12:42I told all of you.
00:12:43Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
00:12:46And here he is, ready for his assessment.
00:12:50Every single one of you earned your spot.
00:12:53Tests, certifications, years of training.
00:12:55And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
00:12:59So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
00:13:01Set the bar.
00:13:02Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
00:13:14That's D-rank fire.
00:13:16Top of the class.
00:13:17I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:13:19Your turn, Brennan.
00:13:21Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:13:25Big throw.
00:13:26Biggest he's got.
00:13:28You can see it coming from across the room.
00:13:30His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:13:33One shot, he's already winded.
00:13:36That was his best.
00:13:37And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:13:43That was your best shot?
00:13:45Excuse me?
00:13:47You asked to go first.
00:13:49You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
00:13:51Held the fireball an extra second.
00:13:53So everyone could see it.
00:13:55So, is that it?
00:13:59You have no idea what you're walking into.
00:14:02People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
00:14:05You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
00:14:09I don't think I'm one of you.
00:14:11I think I'm here to take a test.
00:14:13And you're in the way.
00:14:19Cole Brennan, it's your turn.
00:14:23Demonstrate your ability.
00:14:26Forget him.
00:14:27Forget the crowd.
00:14:28None of them matter right now.
00:14:31Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
00:14:33She has to.
00:14:35And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
00:14:37That's where they were last seen.
00:14:40That's why I'm here.
00:14:42This is the only shot I've got.
00:14:44Don't blow it.
00:14:52My academy fire record was set at 14.
00:14:54My father held the school record before that?
00:14:57And you're showing me that?
00:14:59Guess we'll see.
00:15:00Standard duel.
00:15:02Begin.
00:15:03Good.
00:15:03A public fight.
00:15:05Everyone watch.
00:15:06If I win this, nobody will say I can't long.
00:15:25D-rank fire at that output?
00:15:28This needs to be called.
00:15:29Watch.
00:15:32Every throw, same wind-up, same angle.
00:15:35He can't steer it once it's out.
00:15:36And between shots, his hands drop.
00:15:38He has to reload.
00:15:40That's all I need.
00:16:00You got lucky.
00:16:02That's all that was.
00:16:03You're still doing the same thing.
00:16:07All just power, no adjustment.
00:16:09He throws the same way every time and never learns mid-fight.
00:16:18Two offensive abilities?
00:16:20At the same time?
00:16:22Not at the same time.
00:16:24One amplifies the other.
00:16:51Winner, Cole Brennan.
00:16:58Two abilities combined.
00:17:00Interesting.
00:17:01Pure force with no control is useless.
00:17:04Derek fought for his pride, his ranking, his name.
00:17:07I'm not here for any of that.
00:17:10Cole Brennan enrolled.
00:17:21An unregistered ordinary person in a live combat curriculum is a liability to every student in this building.
00:17:26He demonstrated two distinct offensive abilities combined under active combat conditions.
00:17:30He has no rank, no ability history, no institutional record.
00:17:33Neither did Holt when he enrolled.
00:17:34Neither did Price.
00:17:35This academy has one standard.
00:17:37Can they perform?
00:17:39F rank access.
00:17:40That's the first door.
00:17:41Behind that, E rank.
00:17:43Then D.
00:17:43D rank is where mom and dad disappeared.
00:17:45I just got one step closer.
00:17:47So we're giving a permanent seat to someone whose file reads zero.
00:17:51This isn't enrollment.
00:17:52It's charity.
00:18:03No reading at all.
00:18:05Not even a trace.
00:18:06Next.
00:18:07Zero.
00:18:08Not low.
00:18:09Zero.
00:18:10You know what that means, right?
00:18:11It means the machine didn't even bother trying.
00:18:14Your parents scored the same tests when they were your age.
00:18:17Top marks.
00:18:18And look where that got them.
00:18:25Their world is so far from mine.
00:18:2918 years of being told I'm nothing.
00:18:32And now I'm holding this.
00:18:39Come on.
00:18:40You just fought a D rank.
00:18:42And now your hands won't stop.
00:18:44I still don't know what you are.
00:18:47But whatever this is, thank you.
00:18:56You're in now, Brennan.
00:18:58Don't screw it up.
00:19:03Third day in.
00:19:05Still feel like I'm trespassing.
00:19:12Hey.
00:19:13You lost?
00:19:15Cafeterio staff entrance is on the south side.
00:19:17You think he cheated?
00:19:18Has to be.
00:19:19No way a zero beats a D rank legit.
00:19:23They don't have to like me.
00:19:25They just have to see what happens next.
00:19:35Coal.
00:19:37Solo drills.
00:19:38Far lane.
00:19:39Fine by me.
00:19:48He's stacking them.
00:19:50Shockwave opens the lane.
00:19:51Flame follows through.
00:20:06Two abilities.
00:20:07That's what I've got right now.
00:20:09Have to make them work until I can get more.
00:20:10You're burning through the practice surface.
00:20:12Sorry.
00:20:13I'll move to the far end.
00:20:15Six days to the expedition.
00:20:17Every rep is one less thing I have to figure out in the field.
00:20:40Team up with your classmates.
00:20:42Your score will be calculated by your team's kill counts.
00:20:49Alex.
00:20:50Fire support.
00:20:51Marcus.
00:20:52Shield coverage.
00:20:54Jenny.
00:20:55Speed.
00:20:55Lily.
00:20:56You're in.
00:20:59My family's remote analysts have already pushed the Ash Flats modeling to your terminals.
00:21:03Spawn rates.
00:21:04Weaknesses.
00:21:05Safe routes.
00:21:05Follow the algorithm.
00:21:07We clear the field.
00:21:08Wow.
00:21:10Whole outsourced team playing the game for you.
00:21:13Hardcore Derek.
00:21:14Should I clap for your analysts?
00:21:31Solo operation is permitted.
00:21:33All students must participate.
00:21:36Going in alone?
00:21:37Good luck out there.
00:21:39Ordinary.
00:21:41I was going in alone either way.
00:21:43That's so.
00:21:49Northeast corner.
00:21:51Higher concentration.
00:21:52Right move.
00:21:54Two abilities.
00:21:56One weak.
00:21:57I really hope that's enough.
00:22:06We'll see you.
00:22:32Good, less noise.
00:22:34I can finally focus on the killing.
00:23:24Kill confirmed, card draw initiating.
00:23:29Windblade, shockwave opens it, flame closes it, not the other way around.
00:23:43Kill 14 confirmed.
00:24:02Current collection, 5 abilities, slots, 2 of 2.
00:24:065.
00:24:08First time I'm choosing my own fight.
00:24:10Not reacting, choosing.
00:24:13Five cards, two hands.
00:24:16That's the game.
00:24:29Yeah, I know, right?
00:24:32Dude, I got this new gun, it's sick.
00:24:34I can't believe we did that.
00:24:3610 confirmed.
00:24:38Sector 2, northeast quarter.
00:24:40Clean sweep.
00:24:53Alpha team, Derek Ashford, 10 confirmed kills.
00:24:57Derek Ashford team, 10 confirmed.
00:25:00All teams, report to the command center.
00:25:09Northeast sector, right?
00:25:10Yeah.
00:25:11Tags registered at 41 separate positions.
00:25:14That's a lot of ground.
00:25:17That can't, that can't be right.
00:25:19Cole Brannan, solo operation.
00:25:2230 confirmed kills.
00:25:35That's not possible.
00:25:37Our family AI calculated the physical ceiling.
00:25:3922 kills.
00:25:41Maximum.
00:25:4130.
00:25:42Solo alone?
00:25:43That breaks the model.
00:25:46Wow.
00:25:47Just enough.
00:25:48So that multi-million supercomputer of yours can't keep up with a delivery guy's muscle memory?
00:25:53System glitch, Prince?
00:26:08Well done.
00:26:19The surveillance feed for the northeast sector, covers 40 minutes of active expedition time.
00:26:25We are requesting a full review under chapter 7.
00:26:371 kills.
00:26:387 kills.
00:26:4015 kills.
00:26:4122 kills.
00:26:4330 kills.
00:26:45Feed is clean.
00:26:47No manipulation.
00:26:4830 solo kills confirmed.
00:26:51The northeast sector.
00:26:52That zone is outside the optimal routing parameters.
00:26:55He couldn't have known the creature density without it.
00:26:57The northeast boundary zone's density is in the terrain briefing.
00:27:00Page 4.
00:27:07What was that route?
00:27:09He mapped it beforehand.
00:27:10From the briefing.
00:27:13Rank 20.
00:27:14E-rank access is next.
00:27:15E-rank accessed.
00:27:185 kills and tomorrow clears it.
00:27:21Okay.
00:27:225 more.
00:27:23аются?
00:27:23Outro community.
00:27:27Thick.
00:27:40Hey sit here.
00:27:41I mean, I just have questions.
00:27:46Questions?
00:27:48Yeah, sit down.
00:27:49My team pulled eight total.
00:27:50I got four, which is fine for E-rank.
00:27:53Earth Tremors don't stack kills fast, but you were solo, and you got 30.
00:27:58What route did you run?
00:27:59Northeast Sector.
00:28:02Boundary Zone.
00:28:03The Boundary Zone?
00:28:04Most teams avoid it because...
00:28:07Wait, that's exactly why you went there.
00:28:13You drew out a kill route, didn't you?
00:28:15After the briefing, when everyone left, sat there and mapped it.
00:28:21Yeah, that's insane.
00:28:23That's also kind of brilliant.
00:28:28Also, I'm just going to say this.
00:28:30The ordinary thing?
00:28:31I don't care.
00:28:32You've got abilities, you're in the school.
00:28:34What's the argument?
00:28:35Apparently several.
00:28:37Derek can argue with the ranking board.
00:28:40There it is.
00:28:41Knew you weren't a robot.
00:28:44I'm not a robot.
00:28:45You walk like one.
00:28:46I'm just saying, you know what?
00:28:49Exact foot placement.
00:28:51Every step.
00:28:53That's not...
00:28:54Completely like a robot.
00:28:59Training tomorrow.
00:29:01You want to run drills?
00:29:02I want to see what you actually do with the flame shockwave combo.
00:29:07Sure.
00:29:09I've spent every day here running the math on every conversation.
00:29:13What they want.
00:29:14What it costs me.
00:29:16But I think I've just made my first friend here.
00:29:24Wait.
00:29:26Three?
00:29:27I've got three now.
00:29:32Jake.
00:29:33Get there early.
00:29:37Okay.
00:29:38I've been thinking about this since yesterday.
00:29:40Show me the combo.
00:29:41Good morning.
00:29:43Morning.
00:29:44Show me the combo.
00:29:45You haven't even warmed up.
00:29:47I warmed up thinking about this.
00:29:50Show me.
00:30:01Is that a third one?
00:30:03It unlocked this morning.
00:30:05Okay.
00:30:06We are absolutely skipping warm up.
00:30:20I didn't know it would do that.
00:30:22You didn't plan that?
00:30:24I planned fire and ice.
00:30:26Not this.
00:30:28If this hits something that can dodge fire but not ice.
00:30:30Or the other way around.
00:30:32It can't dodge both.
00:30:34You need to be on my team.
00:30:36For every expedition from now on.
00:30:39Take this.
00:30:54This morning I had a ceiling.
00:30:56Two slots.
00:30:57Eight combinations.
00:30:59I knew every angle.
00:31:00Now I don't know what this can do yet.
00:31:03That's...
00:31:04different.
00:31:05You ever stop calculating?
00:31:08Not really.
00:31:09Must be exhausting.
00:31:11It's useful.
00:31:13Fair.
00:31:19There's a fourth slot ahead.
00:31:21I'm going to need it.
00:31:31E-rank rift access granted.
00:31:34Let's go.
00:31:36You sure?
00:31:37E-rank...
00:31:38E-rank earth.
00:31:39I'm literally named for this.
00:31:40You're F-rank earth that does E-rank damage sometimes.
00:31:43Same thing.
00:32:00Three slots.
00:32:02First time I've had them all loaded going into something real.
00:32:05Something's tracking us.
00:32:06Picked us up about 30 meters back.
00:32:23That would have killed three F-rakes.
00:32:25It's E-rank.
00:32:46Ten.
00:33:09Jake!
00:33:26That's different.
00:33:29That was... yeah.
00:33:31We come back with a better plan.
00:33:33Maybe a third person?
00:33:37I need to go deeper.
00:33:40Solo again?
00:33:41You can't sustain tremors at that depth.
00:33:44And what I've got right now, it's not enough.
00:33:47I need what's deeper in there.
00:33:49I'll be here when you get back.
00:33:52Three abilities.
00:33:53All three in a real fight.
00:33:56Not a drill.
00:33:59Yesterday with Jake, the fog just...
00:34:02sat there.
00:34:03Now it's moving.
00:34:05Jake said he'd be here when I got back.
00:34:35I canaril.
00:34:44All three abilities.
00:34:47Okay,ina.
00:34:58KILLS CONFIRMED. CARD DRAWS INITIATING. SUPPORT ABILITY ACQUIRED.
00:35:04Common draw. Not what I need. Keep going.
00:35:24That's the boss.
00:35:35I don't know if flame cuts through that or just disappears into it.
00:35:43Mom. I'm coming.
00:36:30I've hit it so many times, yet he's not hurt at all. Not yet. No.
00:36:54Elite creature defeated. CARD DRAWS INITIATED.
00:36:57CARD DRAWS INITIATED.
00:37:07ABILITY ACQUIRED. LIGHTNING STORM. ADVANCED TEAR. SLOT CONFIGURATION AVAILABLE.
00:37:16Partial match detected. Name, Brennan.
00:37:19Brennan. Th-that is my name. That is my family's name.
00:37:25They were here. Not nearby. Here. In this rift. Ten years ago.
00:37:32I'm not looking for them anymore. I know where to look.
00:37:36What happened?
00:37:37I got Lightning Storm.
00:38:00It's just rankings, Derek. One month, he scored zero on the ability test.
00:38:05He delivered food for a living. No family legacy. No registered ability rank. No documented training history. No!
00:38:13How does rank 12 make sense?
00:38:21Everything okay?
00:38:23Yeah.
00:38:26The family has been tracking the anomaly. An unregistered ordinary at rank 12. After four months, using abilities with no
00:38:33documented training history and no ability rec on file. This is not a student. This is unquantifiable data in a
00:38:39system built on quantifiable outcomes. Unquantifiable data disrupts capital allocation. When investors cannot model the variable, they remove the variable.
00:38:49This is not personal, Derek. This is how the system protects itself.
00:38:52Well, I understand.
00:39:03Three slots. It's still weird having three.
00:39:24And we have 100% gets killed.
00:39:27No duh.
00:39:301fx monster eliminated.
00:39:34Card draw available.
00:39:382014-15.
00:39:38Iron Magic Storm.
00:39:45Monster eliminated.
00:39:46You took rank twelve from me.
00:39:49You've taken everything.
00:39:52This ends here. Same slot, same sector. This was planned.
00:40:00Derek.
00:40:10Every time you win, it's luck. A trick. You're ordinary.
00:40:17You want to fight? Fine.
00:40:25He's read it. Good.
00:40:34What? That's...
00:40:37You have Lightning Storm? I earned it.
00:40:47I earned it.
00:40:53What?
00:41:03Don't follow me into rifts again.
00:41:06How? How do you get that power?
00:41:08I'm not here for you, Derek. I never was.
00:41:13I'm not here for you, Derek.
00:41:14I'm not here for you.
00:41:14I'm not here for you, Derek.
00:41:25I'm not here for you, Derek.
00:41:30Top ten! Cole, you're in the top ten!
00:41:32I saw it. Rank ten.
00:41:34I also saw rank eight. Who's at eight? Madison Frost.
00:41:38They call her the Ice Queen. She's been rank 8 since she enrolled. Nobody's touched her.
00:41:45Nobody challenges Madison.
00:41:46Rank 10. I've been watching your ascent. You're systematic. That's unusual for someone without an ability history.
00:41:53Monthly ranking challenge is permitted above rank 15. You could challenge rank 8.
00:41:57When?
00:41:58Tomorrow. Arena 3.
00:42:01She didn't come to rattle me. She came to schedule me. That's the difference.
00:42:05She approached you? She's rank 8. Why would she bother?
00:42:10She wants to know what I am.
00:42:12That's creepy. Also terrifying. Okay, what are you actually going to do?
00:42:17She's frost type. She controls the whole arena.
00:42:19Frost abilities lock down mobility. She'll expect me to run flame into her domain. She'll have counters ready.
00:42:24So don't run flame.
00:42:28I didn't say that. How many hidden cards do you have?
00:42:33You're going to be fine. Also, you're a little scary.
00:42:45She doesn't look angry.
00:42:48That's the problem.
00:42:57This is my range. Everything inside it is ice.
00:43:06She's reading my loadout in real time.
00:43:09Smart.
00:43:21You have strong combinetics, but fire doesn't function well at this temperature.
00:43:25The base tier can't keep pace with the regeneration rate.
00:43:28Your fire is base tier.
00:43:30Advanced lightning storm genuinely impressive for an ordinary, but I've fought three slot users before.
00:43:35The math doesn't change.
00:43:37More combinations, same ceiling.
00:43:43She's right about the ceiling.
00:43:45Time to move it.
00:43:48That's enough.
00:43:54What are you...
00:43:55That heat level.
00:43:57That is an upgraded fire plasma tier.
00:43:59You've had this the entire fight.
00:44:01I had it. I hadn't needed it.
00:44:06Winner, Cole Brannan.
00:44:09Plasma Storm, where did you get that?
00:44:11Same place I got the rest. Fought for it.
00:44:13Rank 8 is yours.
00:44:17Dude, what was that?
00:44:21It's not fire anymore.
00:44:23It's something else.
00:44:43I've been thinking about this moment for months.
00:44:45Now that it's here, it just feels real.
00:44:49System upgrade.
00:44:50Ability slot 4 unlocked.
00:44:55There it is.
00:45:05The fourth slot changes the timing windows.
00:45:26You look like someone doing math homework, except the homework explodes.
00:45:31How many abilities do you actually have now?
00:45:36A lot, then.
00:45:44That's him.
00:45:47Central Academy.
00:45:48Two-time defending champions.
00:45:57Pinnacle's bracket must be thin this year.
00:45:59Pinnacle's bracket must be thin this year.
00:46:03You've been champion for two years.
00:46:05That's right.
00:46:07Then everyone here already knows how to fight you.
00:46:09I've been studying your footage for three days.
00:46:13You'll get your shot.
00:46:15I'll try not to end it too fast.
00:46:17That was either very smart or very dumb.
00:46:20Probably both.
00:46:53I'll try not to end it.
00:46:54Let's try not to do it.
00:46:57Let's try not to end it.
00:47:03See you next time.
00:47:04I can see you next time.
00:47:16the floater he's not filling gaps he's threading them look at the sequence
00:47:23we advanced in three fights nobody on this team had a real conversation about it
00:47:27sofia anchors center she controls the most space put her where the fight comes to her
00:47:30not where she has to chase it derrick left side suppression madison right side defense
00:47:34jake flanks when they overcommit why are you calling positions you're not the captain
00:47:42we don't have a designated captain then i'm captain
00:47:52i've watched all three of tomorrow's opponent's bracket footage have you you've never done team
00:47:58combat why should your formation work i'm not taking orders from an ordinary then take suggestions
00:48:04from someone who did the homework or we improvise tomorrow and see how that goes
00:48:22i had it move
00:48:46we won
00:48:48we got lucky next round that won't be enough he's not listening every time i call a direction
00:48:54he goes the opposite just to show me he doesn't have to we cannot go into a central academy team
00:48:59fight like this
00:49:08same as last time we adjust as we go they run a rotating cover pattern their two shield fuser cycle
00:49:14with their ranged attackers if we let them set up we're playing defense the whole match
00:49:22i'll handle you can't handle both shield rotations solo and we none of us can that's the point
00:49:27i'll improvise
00:49:45i'm out
00:49:46i'm out
00:49:59one more loss and we're out third match is central academy brandon's team
00:50:06cole's formation had answers for what western just did we didn't use it
00:50:10she's right cole how did you clock the shield rotation three days ago before we'd even seen
00:50:16their footage i cross-referenced their last four matches the second shoulder always comes in on a
00:50:22four second delay it's drilled not reactive cole had it he had it three days ago he covered my retreat
00:50:29he saw their targeting pattern before i did i don't like it you don't have to like it
00:50:34the relay runner in their pattern that was the break point yes you saw that in the footage
00:50:43third match northern region qualifier what's the formation for central academy
00:50:49five person rotation sophia anchors center you pressure their left from distance don't close
00:50:55madison holds the right corridor jake runs interference on their relay runner i connect the zones
00:51:01he's not convinced i'm right he just ran out of ways to prove i'm wrong
00:51:05that's enough we can work with that
00:51:17central academy's secondary squad three of last year's semi-finalists pinnacle hasn't won a
00:51:23against roll in six years derrick hold fire until you see the left relay break not before
00:51:29i know what about me your fastest chase the relay runner don't let them anchor their rotations
00:51:37easy nothing about this is easy already planned
00:51:44now
00:52:09jake now
00:52:17pinnacle academy team victory
00:52:21there it is two seconds that's your limit i'll take it
00:52:25uh good call on the relay runner we actually yeah we got it that's i didn't know it would feel
00:52:32like
00:52:33that decent team win but team fights are formations solo is different
00:52:39i watched the footage so did my coaching staff they didn't see what you saw
00:52:46semi-finals see you there
00:52:50b rank fire fire domain 16 tournament fights 15 wins the one loss was a draw technical
00:52:56he's never been stopped i need something he has no footage on
00:52:59i need all four slots in a sequence that doesn't exist in any match record
00:53:03i need to invent it before thursday
00:53:12okay i looked him up b rank fire that means his output's at what three four times what
00:53:18madison had about three so your ice thing won't reach him gone before it gets there which version
00:53:24do you think he'll use the one that looks like he's going easy on me every ability he has is
00:53:29built
00:53:29to end a fight fast he doesn't play defense because he's never needed to
00:53:37i think there's a seam i just don't know what it looks like yet
00:53:49i'll try not to end it too fast
00:53:51semi-final special recruit cole brandon no registered rank versus two-time champion brandon chase
00:53:59b rank fire specialist
00:54:06good combinations you're actually trying
00:54:24you've got one slot left that you haven't shown me i've been counting whatever it is
00:54:29it's not going to be enough but i'm genuinely curious what you pull out
00:54:33one slot left make it count
00:54:45whatever the last slot is i'd like to see it
