00:00:0520 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:00:115% 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.
00:00:52Next.
00:00:52Fail. It forgets you.
00:00:59Your parents were ability users and what did it get them?
00:01:02They were failures.
00:01:04Disappeared 10 years ago.
00:01:06Left nothing behind.
00:01:08And now look at you.
00:01:10No ability. No future.
00:01:12Just like them.
00:01:26Their world is so far from mine.
00:01:29Dad. Mom. Where did you go?
00:01:59Level 3 alert.
00:02:01Evacuate.
00:02:03RIP collapse on Bith and Meridian.
00:02:05Ceiling tube inbound.
00:02:11Co-throw the hearth extracting.
00:02:16Wait, wait, I'm still in here!
00:02:37Oh no.
00:02:38No.
00:02:51I can't outrun this!
00:02:52I can't outrun this.
00:02:54What?
00:02:57I can't outrun this.
00:03:11I can't outrun this!
00:03:22Oh no.
00:03:39How long was I out?
00:03:47What did you do to me?
00:03:54What the? Who's talking?
00:04:12A system? What is this?
00:04:18I can get abilities? Me? I'm an ordinary. This doesn't...
00:04:29That's the same one?
00:04:32First awakening protocol. Wait! Right now?
00:04:34Beginning card draw.
00:04:36Come on! Whatever you are, come on!
00:04:41Ability acquired. Flame control.
00:04:44Basic team. Equip to slot one or two.
00:04:47What is this?
00:04:54It's coming.
00:05:03Back off!
00:05:14I... I... I have an ability?
00:05:23Kill confirmed. Initiating card draw.
00:05:26Defeating monsters? Triggers a draw?
00:05:36Ability acquired. Shockwave. Basic tier. Slot two of two. Equipped.
00:05:44Full.
00:05:54You're alive?
00:05:56That mark. Are you an ability user?
00:06:01I don't know.
00:06:06Move.
00:06:35That's D-level ability user.
00:06:37Trained. Coordinated. Practiced.
00:06:40If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
00:06:53More abilities.
00:06:55More range.
00:06:56More.
00:06:58More.
00:06:59More.
00:07:00More.
00:07:06More.
00:07:09More.
00:07:10Let's go.
00:08:03Let's go.
00:08:10Let's go.
00:08:10Let's go.
00:08:14Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:08:21This young man.
00:08:23Pull his file.
00:08:25The test says nothing.
00:08:29The footage says three.
00:08:32Which one do we trust?
00:08:38A civilian demonstrating ability?
00:08:41That contradicts a century of awakening biology.
00:08:44The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some rift zone anomaly.
00:08:48Three independent scans, Hargrave.
00:08:49Then the scans confirmed it.
00:08:51He has no ability.
00:08:53If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time
00:08:58the rift opens in a populated area?
00:09:01Merit is our standard.
00:09:03Not bloodline.
00:09:05Not test scores.
00:09:06Find him.
00:09:16What are you?
00:09:23Cole Brennan?
00:09:26Who are you?
00:09:32Pinnacle Academy.
00:09:34Admissions office.
00:09:35The Chancellor wants to meet you tomorrow.
00:09:47Pinnacle Academy.
00:09:49You think they don't screen their applications?
00:09:53No ability.
00:09:54Not low.
00:09:56Zero.
00:09:58That's what's on your file.
00:10:00They're not gonna make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
00:10:06Stop staring at it.
00:10:08Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
00:10:11Food gets cold.
00:10:22Not to prove anything.
00:10:24Not to them.
00:10:26Not to him.
00:10:29Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
00:10:32Restricted zones.
00:10:34Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:10:37But in those rifts, something happened in there.
00:10:39That envelope is an invitation.
00:10:41It's a door.
00:10:47I'll go.
00:11:13No badge.
00:11:14No uniform either.
00:11:15Is he ordinary?
00:11:20No badge?
00:11:21No uniform?
00:11:23What are you doing in here?
00:11:24Meeting with Director Reynolds.
00:11:25I'm here to see the director.
00:11:28Reynolds?
00:11:33What?
00:11:34Did a rift open near your house?
00:11:36You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:11:39Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:11:42My grandfather helped build this program.
00:11:44My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
00:11:48Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
00:11:51You looked me up.
00:11:57Your file says no ability.
00:11:59But surveillance caught you using Flame and Shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
00:12:03I didn't know what was happening to me.
00:12:06I still don't fully understand it.
00:12:08The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
00:12:11I need to verify your abilities.
00:12:13Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
00:12:16Because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:12:19Tomorrow.
00:12:20The entrance exam.
00:12:22Prove your worth.
00:12:24I will.
00:12:30That's the one Reynolds let in?
00:12:32Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
00:12:34Literally zero.
00:12:36He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:12:41Ladies and gentlemen.
00:12:43He actually showed up.
00:12:44I told you yesterday.
00:12:45I told all of you.
00:12:46Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
00:12:49And here he is.
00:12:50Ready for his assessment.
00:12:54Every single one of you earned your spot.
00:12:56Tests.
00:12:57Certifications.
00:12:57Years of training.
00:12:58And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
00:13:02So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
00:13:05Set the bar.
00:13:06Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
00:13:17That's D-rank fire.
00:13:19Top of the class.
00:13:20I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:13:22Your turn, Brennan.
00:13:24Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:13:28Big throw.
00:13:30Biggest he's got.
00:13:31You can see it coming from across the room.
00:13:34His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:13:37One shot, he's already winded.
00:13:39That was his best.
00:13:40And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:13:46That was your best shot?
00:13:48Excuse me?
00:13:50You asked to go first.
00:13:52You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
00:13:54Held the fireball an extra second.
00:13:56So everyone could see it.
00:13:58So, is that it?
00:14:02You have no idea what you're walking into.
00:14:05People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
00:14:09You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
00:14:12I don't think I'm one of you.
00:14:14I think I'm here to take a test.
00:14:16And you're in the way.
00:14:23Cole Brennan.
00:14:24It's your turn.
00:14:26Demonstrate your ability.
00:14:29Forget him.
00:14:30Forget the crowd.
00:14:31None of them matter right now.
00:14:34Reynolds knows something about Mom and Dad.
00:14:37She has to.
00:14:38And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
00:14:41That's where they were last seen.
00:14:43That's why I'm here.
00:14:45This is the only shot I've got.
00:14:47Don't blow it.
00:15:0620 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:15:115% of population awakened powers.
00:15:16They became the new elite.
00:15:21Everyone's life is determined by...
00:15:23The power test.
00:15:24It separates people into two classes.
00:15:27The ordinary and the elite.
00:15:30Power response confirmed.
00:15:32Elite track.
00:15:33Notify the academy.
00:15:34High compatibility.
00:15:35Pass.

00:15:53Fail.
00:15:54It forgets you.
00:16:00Your parents were ability users.

00:16:11No ability.

00:16:30Dad.

00:16:32Where did you go?

00:19:17Draw cards.
00:19:19Draw stronger.
00:19:20I can get abilities?

00:24:37The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
00:24:48Pinnacle Academy.
00:24:50You think they don't screen their applications? No ability. Not low. Zero.

00:25:02They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
00:25:07Stop staring at it.

00:29:15I think I'm here to take a test. And you're in the way.
00:29:24Cole Brennan, it's your turn. Demonstrate your ability.
00:29:30Cole Brennan, it's your turn.

00:29:58That's why I'm here.
00:30:05Twenty years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:30:10Five percent of population awakened powers. They became the new elite.
00:30:19Everyone's life is determined by the power test.
00:30:22It separates people into two classes. The ordinary and the elite.
00:30:28Power response confirmed. Elite track.
00:30:31Notify the academy. High compatibility.
00:30:33Pass. You rise.
00:30:49Did he get nothing? Not even a spark.
00:30:51Next. Fail. It forgets you.
00:30:58Your parents were ability users. And what did it get them?
00:31:01They were failures. Disappeared ten years ago. Left nothing behind.
00:31:07And now look at you. No ability. No future. Just like them.
00:31:25Their world is so far from mine. Dad. Mom. Where did you go?
00:31:58Level three alert.
00:32:00Level three alert. Evacuate immediately.
00:32:02Rift collapse on 5th and Meridian. Ceiling tube inbound.
00:32:11Go throw the hearth extracting.
00:32:15Wait, wait. I'm still in here.
00:32:36I'm still in here.
00:32:37Oh no.
00:32:50I can't outrun this.
00:32:52I can't outrun this.
00:33:14Mom. Dad.
00:33:16Please. Help me.
00:33:31Please. Help me.
00:33:46What did you do to me?
00:33:51Card draw system activated.
00:33:53Activated.
00:33:53What the? Who's talking?
00:34:11A system?
00:34:12What? What is this?
00:34:14Defeat monsters.
00:34:15Draw cards.
00:34:17Draw stronger.
00:34:18I can get abilities?
00:34:19Me?
00:34:21I'm an ordinary.
00:34:23This doesn't-
00:34:23Warning. Hostile entity detected.
00:34:2620 meters.
00:34:28That's the same one?
00:34:31First awakening protocol.
00:34:33Wait. Right now?
00:34:34Beginning card draw.
00:34:36Come on.
00:34:37Whatever you are, come on!
00:34:40Ability acquired. Flame control.
00:34:44Basic tier. Equip to slot one or two.
00:34:46What is this?
00:34:53It's coming.
00:35:03Back off!
00:35:13I...
00:35:14I...
00:35:15I...
00:35:15I have an ability?
00:35:23Kill confirmed.
00:35:24Initiating card draw.
00:35:26Defeating monsters?
00:35:27Triggers a draw?
00:35:35Ability acquired. Shockwave. Basic tier.
00:35:38Slot two of two. Equipped.
00:35:43Full.
00:35:54You're alive?
00:35:56That mark.
00:35:57Are you an ability user?
00:36:01I don't know.
00:36:06Move.
00:36:25Always. Run!
00:36:34That's D-level ability user.
00:36:36Trained. Coordinated. Practiced.
00:36:39If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
00:36:52More abilities.
00:36:54More range.
00:36:56More.
00:36:58There.
00:37:08Damn!
00:37:19Let's go!
00:37:49Kill confirmed.
00:37:50Card draw, ice shot, basic tier, current collection, three abilities, slots, two of two, three abilities, two slots.
00:38:14Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:38:20This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says three. Which one do we trust?
00:38:37A civilian demonstrating ability? That contradicts a century of awakening biology.
00:38:44The 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.
00:38:51If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
00:38:59a populated area?
00:39:00Merit is our standard. Not bloodline. Not test scores.
00:39:06Find him.
00:39:14What are you?
00:39:23Cole Brennan?
00:39:25Who are you?
00:39:31Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office. The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
00:39:46Pinnacle Academy. You think they don't screen their applications?
00:39:51No ability. Not low. Zero.
00:39:57That's what's on your file.
00:40:00They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
00:40:05Stop staring at it.
00:40:07Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
00:40:10Food gets cold.
00:40:22Not to prove anything.
00:40:23Not to them.
00:40:26Not to him.
00:40:29Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
00:40:32Restricted zones.
00:40:33Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:40:36But in those rifts, something happened in there.
00:40:39That envelope is an invitation.
00:40:40It's a door.
00:40:46I'll go.
00:40:57I'll go.
00:41:12No badge. No uniform either.
00:41:14Is he ordinary?
00:41:19No badge. No uniform.
00:41:22What are you doing in here?
00:41:23Meeting with Director Reynolds.
00:41:25I'm here to see the director.
00:41:27Reynolds?
00:41:33What?
00:41:33Did a rift open near your house?
00:41:36You 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.
00:41:46Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
00:41:50You looked me up.
00:41:57Your file says no ability.
00:41:59But surveillance caught you using Flame and Shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
00:42:03I 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.
00:42:10I 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.
00:42:34Literally zero.
00:42:35He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:42:41Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up.
00:42:43I told you yesterday.
00:42:44I told all of you.
00:42:46Reynolds 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.
00:42:58And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
00:43:01So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
00:43:04Set the bar.
00:43:05Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
00:43:17That's D-rank fire.
00:43:18Top of the class.
00:43:20I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:43:21Your turn, Brennan.
00:43:23Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:43:28Big throw.
00:43:29Biggest he's got.
00:43:30You can see it coming from across the room.
00:43:33His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:43:36One shot, he's already winded.
00:43:38That was his best.
00:43:40And 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.
00:43:54Held the fireball an extra second.
00:43:56So everyone could see.
00:43:57So, is that it?
00:44:01You have no idea what you're walking into.
00:44:05People 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.
00:44:31None of them matter right now.
00:44:34Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
00:44:36She has to.
00:44:37And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
00:44:40That's where they were last seen.
00:44:43That's why I'm here.
00:44:44This is the only shot I've got.
00:44:46Don't blow it.
00:45:0320 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:45:085% of population awakened powers.
00:45:11They became the new elite.
00:45:17Everyone's life is determined by the power test.
00:45:21It separates people into two classes.
00:45:23The ordinary and the elite.
00:45:26Power response confirmed.
00:45:28Elite track.
00:45:29Notify the academy.
00:45:31High compatibility.
00:45:32Pass.
00:45:32You rise.
00:45:33You rise.
00:45:47Did he get nothing?
00:45:48Not even a spark.
00:45:49Next.
00:45:50Fail.
00:45:50It forgets you.
00:45:56Your parents were ability users.
00:45:58And what did it get them?
00:46:00They were failures.
00:46:01Disappeared 10 years ago.
00:46:03Left nothing behind.
00:46:05And now look at you.
00:46:07No ability.
00:46:09No future.
00:46:10Just like them.
00:46:23Their world is so far from mine.
00:46:27Dad.
00:46:28Mom.
00:46:29Where did you go?
00:46:31No.
00:46:32No.
00:46:33No.
00:46:34No.
00:46:35No.
00:46:35No.

00:47:13Wait, wait, I'm still in here.
00:47:35Oh, no.
00:47:48I can't outrun this.
00:48:00I can't outrun this.
00:48:11Hello, mom.
00:48:13Dad.
00:48:14Please,
00:48:16help 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.
00:48:52What the? Who's talking?
00:49:09A system? What is this?

01:04:24That's the same one?
01:04:27First awakening protocol.
01:04:29Wait! Right now?
01:04:30The beginning card draw.
01:04:32Come on!

01:04:36Ability acquired. Flame control.

01:07:19Let's go.
01:07:45Kill confirmed, card draw, ice shot, basic tier, current collection, 3 abilities, slots, 2 of 2, 3 abilities, 2 slots.
01:08:10Director Reynolds, you should see this.
01:08:16This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says 3. 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, Hargrave.
01:08:45Then 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.
01:09:02Find him.
01:09:10What are you?
01:09:19Cold Brennan?
01:09:22Who are you?
01:09:27Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office. The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
01:09:42Pinnacle Academy. You think they don't screen their applications?
01:09:48No ability. Not low. Zero.
01:09:54That's what's on your file.
01:09:56They're not gonna make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
01:10:02Stop staring at it.
01:10:03Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
01:10:06Food gets cold.
01:10:18Not to prove anything.
01:10:20Not to them.
01:10:22Not to him.
01:10:25Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
01:10:28Restricted zones.
01:10:29Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
01:10:32But in those rifts, something happened in there.
01:10:35That envelope is an invitation.
01:10:37It's a door.
01:10:42I'll go.
01:10:45I'll go.
01:11:08No badge.
01:11:09No uniform either.
01:11:10Is he ordinary?
01:11:16No badge.
01:11:17No uniform.
01:11:18What are you doing in here?
01:11:19Meeting with Director Reynolds.
01:11:21I'm here to see the director.
01:11:24Reynolds?
01:11:29What?
01:11:30Did a rift open near your house?
01:11:32You 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.
01:11:40My 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.
01:11:55But surveillance caught you using Flame and Shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
01:11:59I didn't know what was happening to me.
01:12:01I 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.
01:12:09Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
01:12:11Because this academy has to see it for itself.
01:12:15Tomorrow.
01:12:16The entrance exam.
01:12:17Prove your worth.
01:12:19I will.
01:12:25That's the one Reynolds let in?
01:12:28Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
01:12:30Literally zero.
01:12:31He's not even wearing a uniform.
01:12:37Ladies and gentlemen.
01:12:38He actually showed up.
01:12:40I told you yesterday.
01:12:41I told all of you.
01:12:42Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
01:12:44And here he is.
01:12:46Ready for his assessment.
01:12:49Every single one of you earned your spot.
01:12:51Tests.
01:12:52Certifications.
01:12:53Years 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.
01:13:01Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
01:13:13That's D-rank fire.
01:13:15Top of the class.
01:13:16I've been doing this since I was 14.
01:13:18Your turn, Brennan.
01:13:19Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
01:13:24Big throw.
01:13:25Biggest he's got.
01:13:26You can see it coming from across the room.
01:13:29His whole body loads up before he lets go.
01:13:32One shot and he's already winded.
01:13:34That was his best.
01:13:36And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
01:13:41That was your best shot?
01:13:44Excuse me?
01:13:46You 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, is 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.
01:14:20It's your turn.
01:14:22Demonstrate your ability.
01:14:25Forget him.
01:14:26Forget 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.
01:14:43Don't blow it.
01:14:5920 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
01:15:045% of population awakened powers.
01:15:08They became the new elite.
01:15:13Everyone's life is determined by...
01:15:16The power test.
01:15:17It separates people into two classes.
01:15:19The ordinary and the elite.
01:15:23Power response confirmed.
01:15:24Elite track.
01:15:26Notify the academy.
01:15:27High compatibility.
01:15:28Pass.
01:15:28You rise.
01:15:43Did he get nothing?
01:15:44Not even a spark.
01:15:45Next.
01:15:45Fail.
01:15:47It 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 10 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.
01:16:19Their world is so far from mine.
01:16:23Dad.
01:16:24Mom.
01:16:25Where did you go?
01:16:53Level 3 alert.
01:16:55Evacuate immediately.
01:16:57Rift collapse on 5th and Meridian.
01:16:59Ceiling tube inbound.
01:17:05Go throw the here the extracting.
01:17:10Wait, wait.
01:17:10I'm still in here.
01:17:12I'm still in here.
01:17:31Oh no.
01:17:44I can't outrun this.
01:17:46I can't outrun this.
01:17:47I can't outrun this.
01:18:08Mom.
01:18:10Dad.
01:18:11Please.
01:18:12Help me.
01:18:33How long was I out?
01:18:41What did you do to me?
01:18:47What the?
01:18:48Who's talking?
01:19:05A system?
01:19:07What is this?
01:19:08Defeat monsters.
01:19:10Draw cards.
01:19:11Draw stronger.
01:19:13I can get abilities?
01:19:14Me?
01:19:16I'm an ordinary.
01:19:17This doesn't...
01:19:18Warning.
01:19:19Hostile entity detected.
01:19:2120 meters.
01:19:22That's the same one?
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.
01:19:36Flame control.
01:19:38Basic team.
01:19:39Equip to slot 1 or 2.
01:19:41What is this?
01:19:48It's coming.
01:19:57Back off!
01:20:08I...
01:20:08I...
01:20:09I have an ability?
01:20:17Kill confirmed.
01:20:18Initiating card draw.
01:20:20Defeating monsters?
01:20:22Triggers a draw?
01:20:29Ability acquired.
01:20:31Shockwave.
01:20:32Basic tier.
01:20:33Slot 2 of 2.
01:20:34Equipped.
01:20:37Full.
01:20:48You're alive?
01:20:50You're alive?
01:20:51That mark.
01:20:51Are you an ability user?
01:20:55I don't know.
01:21:00Move.
01:21:28That's D-level ability user.
01:21:30Trained, Coordinated, Practiced. If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
01:21:46More Abilities
01:21:49More Range
01:22:29Detects
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.
01:23:15This 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?
01:23:54Merit is our standard. Not bloodline. Not test scores.
01:24:00Find him.
01:24:09What are you?
01:24:17Cole Brennan?
01:24:20Who are you?
01:24:25Pinnacle Academy. Admission's office.
01:24:29The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
01:24:33Tomorrow.
01:24:41Pinnacle Academy.
01:24:43You think they don't screen their applications?
01:24:47No ability. Not low. Zero.
01:24:52That'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. Food 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.
01:25:28Restricted zones.
01:25:28Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
