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.
00:02:35Oh, no.
00:02:47I can't outrun this.
00:03:11Mom. Dad.
00:03:15Please, 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?
00:04:11Defeat monsters.
00:04:13Draw cards.
00:04:15Grow stronger.
00:04:16I can get abilities?
00:04:17Me?
00:04:19I'm an ordinary.
00:04:20This doesn't...
00:04:21Warning.
00:04:22Hostile entity detected.
00:04:2420 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!
00:04:34Whatever you are, come on!
00:04:37Ability acquired.
00:04:39Flame control.
00:04:41Basic tier.
00:04:42Equip to slot one or two.
00:04:44What is this?
00:04:51It's coming.
00:05:00Back off!
00:05:11I...
00:05:11I...
00:05:13I...
00:05:13I have an ability?
00:05:20Kill confirmed.
00:05:22Initiating card draw.
00:05:23Defeating monsters?
00:05:25Triggers a draw?
00:05:33Ability acquired.
00:05:34Shockwave.
00:05:35Basic tier.
00:05:36Slot two of two.
00:05:37Equipped.
00:05:41Full.
00:05:51You're alive?
00:05:53That mark.
00:05:54Are you an ability user?
00:05:58I don't know.
00:06:03Move.
00:06:22Always.
00:06:24Run!
00:06:32That's D-level ability user.
00:06:34Trained.
00:06:35Coordinated.
00:06:35Practiced.
00:06:36If that's the baseline,
00:06:38where am I trying to go?
00:06:49More abilities.
00:06:51More range.
00:06:53More.
00:06:55More.
00:07:22Let's go.
00:07:46Kill confirmed.
00:07:48Card draw.
00:07:49Ice shot.
00:07:50Basic tier.
00:07:52Current collection.
00:07:52Three abilities.
00:07:53Slots.
00:07:54Two of two.
00:07:55Three abilities.
00:07:56Two slots.
00:08:11Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:08:18This young man.
00:08:20Pull his file.
00:08:22The test says nothing.
00:08:26The footage says three.
00:08:28Which one do we trust?
00:08:35A 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.
00:08:49If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next
00:08:55time the rift opens in a populated area?
00:08:58Merit is our standard.
00:09:00Not bloodline.
00:09:02Not test scores.
00:09:04Find him.
00:09:12What are you?
00:09:21Cole Brennan?
00:09:23Who are you?
00:09:29Pinnacle Academy.
00:09:30Admissions office.
00:09:32The Chancellor wants to meet you.
00:09:34Tomorrow.
00:09:44Pinnacle Academy.
00:09:46You think they don't screen their applications?
00:09:49No ability.
00:09:51Not 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
00:10:02rift.
00:10:03Stop 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.
00:10:33In those rifts, something happened in there.
00:10:36That envelope is an invitation.
00:10:38It's a door.
00:10:43I'll go.
00:10:53I'll go.
00:10:55I'll go.
00:10:57I'll go.
00:11:09No badge.
00:11:11No badge.
00:11:21No uniform either.
00:11:22Reynolds.
00:11:23I'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?
00:11:36Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:11:38My grandfather helped build this program.
00:11:41My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
00:11:45Every 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.
00:12:07I need to verify your abilities.
00:12:10Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
00:12:13Because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:12:16Tomorrow.
00:12:17The entrance exam.
00:12:19Prove your worth.
00:12:20I 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.
00:13:03Remind 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.
00:14:21It'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-Rag 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.
00:14:51My 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 bet 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.
00:15:39He 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 at 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?
00:17:38F rank access.
00:17:40That's the first door.
00:17:41Behind that, E rank, then 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.
00:18:25Their world is so far from mine.
00:18:29Eighteen years of being told I'm nothing.
00:18:32And now I'm holding this.
00:18:39Come on.
00:18:41You just fought a D rank.
00:18:42And now your hands won't stop.
00:18:44I still don't know what you are.
00:18:46But 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.
00:21:40I 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.
00:21:58One weird.
00:22:05Two Bisque.
00:22:06Whoa.
00:22:11Huh?
00:22:11Yes?
00:22:12Yes?
00:22:13Yes?
00:22:17Yes.
00:22:33Good, less noise. I can finally focus on the killing.
00:22:59Good, less noise.
00:23:01Good, less noise.
00:23:04Good, less noise.
00:23:24Kill confirmed. Card draw initiating. Windblade. Shockwave opens it. Flame closes it. Not
00:23:32the other way around.
00:23:43Kill 14 confirmed.
00:24:02Current collection. Five abilities. Slots. Two of two. Five. First time I'm choosing my own fight. Not reacting. Choosing. Five
00:24:13cards. Two hands. That'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. Sector 2. Northeast quarter. Clean sweep.
00:24:54Alpha team. Derek Ashford. 10 confirmed kills.
00:24:57Derek Ashford team. 10 confirmed. All teams, report to the command center.
00:25:09Northeast sector, right?
00:25:11Yeah.
00:25:11Tags registered at 41 separate positions. That's... a lot of ground.
00:25:17That can't... that can't be right.
00:25:19Cole Brannan. Solo operation. 30 confirmed kills.
00:25:35That's... not possible. Our family AI calculated the physical ceiling. 22 kills. Maximum. 30. Solo alone? That breaks the model.
00:25:46Wow. Wow. Just enough. So 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.
00:26:24Time. We are requesting a full review under chapter 7.
00:26:371 kills. 7 kills. 15 kills. 22 kills. 30 kills.
00:26:45Feed is clean. No manipulation. 30 solo kills confirmed.
00:26:50The Northeast sector. That zone is outside the optimal routing parameters. He couldn't have known the creature density without...
00:26:57The Northeast boundary zone's density is in the terrain briefing. Page 4.
00:27:07What was that route?
00:27:09He mapped it beforehand. He mapped it beforehand. From the briefing.
00:27:12Rank 20. E-rank access is next. E-rank accessed. Five kills and tomorrow clears it.
00:27:20Okay. Five more.
00:27:40Hey, sit here. I mean, I just have questions.
00:27:46Questions.
00:27:47Yeah. Sit down.
00:27:49My team pulled eight total. I got four, which is fine for E-rank. Earth Tremors don't stack kills fast.
00:27:55But you were solo. And you got 30. What route did you run?
00:27:59Northeast sector.
00:28:02Boundary zone.
00:28:03The boundary zone? Most teams avoid it because...
00:28:08Wait. That's exactly why you went there.
00:28:13You drew out a kill route, didn't you? After the briefing, when everyone left, sat there and mapped it.
00:28:21Yeah. That's insane. That's also kind of brilliant.
00:28:28Also, I'm just gonna say this. The ordinary thing? I don't care. You've got abilities, you're in the school. What's
00:28:34the argument?
00:28:35Apparently several. Derek can argue with the ranking board. Thank you. There it is. Knew you weren't a robot.
00:28:44I'm not a robot.
00:28:45You walk like one. I'm just saying. You know what?
00:28:49Exact foot placement. Every step.
00:28:53That's not...
00:28:54Completely like a robot.
00:28:59Training tomorrow. You 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. What they want. What it costs me. But I
00:29:16think I've just made my first friend here.
00:29:24Wait.
00:29:26Three? I've got three now.
00:29:32Jake, get there early.
00:29:37Okay. I've been thinking about this since yesterday. Show 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. We are absolutely skipping warm-up.
00:30:20I didn't know it would do that.
00:30:22You didn't plan that?
00:30:23I planned fire and ice.
00:30:26Not this.
00:30:27If 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.
00:30:58Eight 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.
00:31:04You ever stop calculating?
00:31:08Not really.
00:31:09Must be exhausting.
00:31:12It'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.
00:31:44Same thing.
00:31:47Same 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.
00:32:12E-Rank Earth.
00:32:23That would have killed three F-Ranks.
00:32:25It's E-Rank.
00:32:29E-Rank Earth.
00:32:46One.
00:32:47E-Rank Earth.
00:32:52E-Rank Earth.
00:33:10Jake!
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?
00:33:45It'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.
00:33:55Not 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.
00:34:09No!
00:34:13No!
00:34:18No!
00:34:21No!
00:34:29No!
00:34:32No!
00:34:38No!
00:34:42No!
00:34:45No!
00:34:46No!
00:34:47No!
00:34:48No!
00:34:49No!
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.
00:35:44Mom, I'm coming.
00:36:00I can't believe it.
00:36:01No one's gonna be on me.
00:36:03Just one more, if you don't play.
00:36:05I can't believe it.
00:36:08I can't believe it.
00:36:12I can't believe it, I can't believe it.
00:36:15I can't believe it.
00:36:30I've hit it so many times, yet he's not hurt at all.
00:36:34Not yet.
00:36:35No.
00:36:54Elite Creature Defeated, Card Draw Initiated, Ability Acquired, Lightning Storm, Advanced Teal, Slot Configuration Available.
00:37:16Partial match detected. Name, Brennan.
00:37:19Brennan? 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.
00:38:36This is not a student. This is unquantifiable data in a system built on quantifiable outcomes.
00:38:42Unquantifiable data disrupts capital allocation. When investors cannot model the variable, they remove the variable.
00:38:48This is not personal, Derek. This is how the system protects itself.
00:38:53I understand.
00:39:03Three slots. It's still weird having three.
00:39:30Monster eliminated.
00:39:33Card draw available.
00:39:41Unquantifiable data.
00:39:44Unquantable data.
00:39:47Unquantable data.
00:39:48from me. You've taken everything. This 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.
00:40:53What?
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 never was.
00:41:13I never was.
00:41:41been rank 8 since she enrolled. Nobody's touched her. Nobody challenges Madison. Rank 10. I've
00:41:47been watching your ascent. You're systematic. That's unusual for someone without an ability
00:41:52history. Monthly ranking challenge is permitted above rank 15. You could challenge rank 8.
00:41:57When? Tomorrow. Arena 3. She didn't come to rattle me. She came to schedule me. That's
00:42:05the difference. She approached you? She's rank 8. Why would she bother? She wants to know what I am.
00:42:12That's creepy. Also terrifying. Okay, what are you actually going to do? She's frost type. She
00:42:18controls the whole arena. Frost abilities lock down mobility. She'll expect me to run flame into
00:42:23her domain. She'll have counters ready. So don't run flame. I didn't say that. How many hidden cards
00:42:30do you have? You're going to be fine. Also, you're a little scary.
00:42:45She doesn't look angry. That's the problem.
00:42:57This is my range. Everything inside it is ice. She's reading my loadout in real time. Smart.
00:43:21You have strong combinetics, but fire doesn't function well at this temperature. The base
00:43:26tier can't keep pace with the regeneration rate. Your fire is base tier. Advanced lightning
00:43:31storm genuinely impressive for an ordinary, but I've fought three slot users before. The
00:43:36math doesn't change. More combinations, same ceiling. She's right about the ceiling. Time
00:43:45to move it. That's enough. What are you? That heat level. That is an upgraded fire plasma tier.
00:43:59You've had this the entire fight. I had it. I hadn't needed it.
00:44:06Winner! Cole Brannan! Plasma storm. Where did you get that? Same place I got the rest.
00:44:12Fought for it. Rank 8 is yours.
00:44:17Dude, what was that?
00:44:21It's not fire anymore. It's something else.
00:44:25Center Academy Championship. Pinnacle Fields 5. Public Bracket. Individual rank points on the line.
00:44:33Cole Brennan. Derek Ashford. Sophia Vile. Madison Frost. Jake Ryder.
00:44:43I've been thinking about this moment for months. Now that it's here, it just feels... real.
00:44:48System upgrade. Ability slot 4 unlocked.
00:44:55There it is.
00:45:04The fourth slot changes the timing windows. The combinations multiply.
00:45:27You look like someone doing math homework. Except the homework explodes.
00:45:30Explodes. How many abilities do you actually have now?
00:45:37A lot then.
00:45:46That's him.
00:45:47Central Academy. Two-time defending champions.
00:45:57Pinnacle'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.
00:46:50I'll try not to end it.
00:47:16The Floater, he's not filling gaps, he's threading them.
00:47:19Look at the sequence.
00:47:23We advanced in three fights.
00:47:24Nobody on this team had a real conversation about it.
00:47:27Sophia anchors center.
00:47:28She controls the most space, put her where the fight comes to her, not where she has to
00:47:31chase it.
00:47:32Derek, left side suppression, Madison, right side defense.
00:47:35Jake flanks when they overcommit.
00:47:40Why are you calling positions?
00:47:41You're not the captain.
00:47:43We don't have a designated captain.
00:47:45Captain, then I'm captain.
00:47:52I've watched all three of tomorrow's opponent's bracket footage.
00:47:55Have you?
00:47:57You've never done team combat.
00:47:59Why should your formation work?
00:48:00I'm not taking orders from an ordinary, then take suggestions from someone who did the
00:48:05homework.
00:48:06Or we improvise tomorrow and see how that goes.
00:48:23I had it.
00:48:24Move.
00:48:47We won.
00:48:48We got lucky.
00:48:50Next round, that won't be enough.
00:48:51He's not listening.
00:48:53Every time I call a direction, he goes the opposite just to show me he doesn't have to.
00:48:56We cannot go into a Central Academy teamfight like this.
00:49:08Same as last time.
00:49:10We adjust as we go.
00:49:11They run a rotating cover pattern.
00:49:13Their two shield fuzers cycle with their ranged attackers.
00:49:15If we let them set up, we're playing defense the whole match.
00:49:22I'll handle-
00:49:23You can't handle both shield rotations solo.
00:49:25Unwi, none of us can.
00:49:26That's the point.
00:49:27I'll improvise.
00:49:29I'll improvise.
00:49:45I'm out.
00:49:47I'm out.
00:49:48I'm out.
00:49:51I'm out.
00:49:59I'm out.
00:50:07I'm out.
00:50:14I'm out.
00:50:22I'm out.
00:50:26I'm out.
00:50:31I'm out.
00:50:44I'm out.
00:51:00I'm out.
00:51:04I'm out.
00:51:05I'm out.
00:51:26I'm out.
00:51:29I'm out.
00:51:43I'm out.
00:51:44I'm out.
00:52:10I'm out.
00:52:12I'm out.
00:52:38I'm out.
00:52:48I'm out.
00:52:57I'm out.
00:53:09I'm out.
00:53:37I'm out.
00:53:40I'm out.
00:54:04I'm out.
00:54:29I'm out.
00:54:32I'm out.
00:55:02I'm out.
00:55:04I'm out.
00:55:37I'm out.
00:55:48I'm out.
00:55:52I'm out.
00:55:53I'm out.
00:55:53That's what five feels like.
00:55:55All of it at once.
00:55:57Tomorrow is a different problem.
00:55:59You crazy.
00:56:03You crazy.
00:56:04You crazy.
00:56:09Brandon had no answer for the five abilities sequence.
00:56:12Nobody is going to.
00:56:14Sofia will have an answer.
00:56:15That's the problem.
00:56:16Then figure out answers to her answers.
00:56:18First time Derek's giving me something that wasn't a fight.
00:56:20I don't know what to do with that.
00:56:30I forfeit.
00:56:38Okay, then.
00:56:40D-rank access.
00:56:41That's what's on the other side of tomorrow.
00:56:45Not the trophy.
00:56:46Not the title.
00:56:49The door.
00:56:52You okay?
00:56:54Yeah, yeah.
00:56:57Liar.
00:56:59She finished her semi-final in 90 seconds.
00:57:02Telekinesis doesn't need range or formation.
00:57:04Cole.
00:57:05Win.
00:57:06Whatever it takes.
00:57:07First place gets D-rank access.
00:57:13My parents.
00:57:14They were last recorded in a D-rank rift.
00:57:19I know.
00:57:20Let's get them back.
00:57:26You watched my semi-final.
00:57:28I needed to know what I was facing.
00:57:31And?
00:57:32You're faster than I expected.
00:57:34The environment control is earlier than I can counter with sequencing alone.
00:57:37Is that a problem?
00:57:39I'm working on it.
00:57:40You promised.
00:57:41If I win, you tell me your secret.
00:57:44I said that.
00:57:46And if you win?
00:57:48I tell you anyway.
00:57:50Then one of us is telling the truth tomorrow.
00:57:59Don't hold back tomorrow.
00:58:06Cole Brernan.
00:58:07Pinnacle Academy Special Recruit.
00:58:09Entered this tournament unranked.
00:58:10Zero rank to the championship round.
00:58:12And Sophia Vale.
00:58:13Pinnacle's first seed.
00:58:14C-rank telekinesis.
00:58:15Five-year undefeated record.
00:58:17Full ability use is permitted.
