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.

00:00:52Fail. 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?

00:08:14Director Reynolds
00:08:15You Should See This
00:08:20This Young Man
00:08:22Pull His File
00:08:25The Test Says Nothing
00:08:29The Footage Says Three
00:08:30Which One Do We Trust?
00:08:37A Civilian Demonstrating Ability?
00:08:40That Contradicts A Century Of Awakening Biology
00:08:44The Instruments Are The Reliable Variable Here
00:08:46Not Some Rift Zone Anomaly
00:08:47Three Independent Scans, Hargrave
00:08:49Then The Scans Confirmed It
00:08:51He Has No Ability
00:08:53If He Genuinely Has These Abilities
00:08:55And We Leave Him Unmonitored
00:08:56What Happens The Next Time The Rift Opens
00:08:59In A Populated Area
00:09:00Merit
00:09:01Is Our Standard
00:09:03Not Bloodline
00:09:04Not Test Scores
00:09:07Find Him
00:09:15What Are You?
00:09:23Cold Brennan?
00:09:26Cold Brennan?

00:09:47Pinnacle Academy
00:09:48You Think They Don't Screen Their Applications?
00:09:53No Ability
00:09:54Not Low
00:09:55Zero
00:09:56That'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
00:10:05Stop Staring At It
00:10:07Your Bag's Been Sitting There For 20 Minutes
00:10:10Food 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
00:10:33Places That Don't Show Up In Any Civilian Database
00:10:36But In Those Rifts
00:10:37Something Happened In There
00:10:39That Envelope Is An Imitation
00:10:41It's A Door
00:10:47I'll Go
00:11:12No Badge
00:11:13No Uniform Either
00:11:15Is He Ordinary?
00:11:20No Badge
00:11:21No Uniform
00:11:22What 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
00:11:43My Dad Held The School Fire Record Until Two Years Ago
00:11:47Every Ashford Who Walked These Halls Earned Their Spot
00:11:50You 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
00:12:05I Still Don't Fully Understand It
00:12:07The Brennan Name Is In This Building's Founding Records
00:12:10I Need To Verify Your Abilities
00:12:12Not Because I Doubt What I Saw On The Footage
00:12:15Because This Academy Has To See It For Itself
00:12:18Tomorrow
00:12:19The Entrance Exam
00:12:21Prove Your Worth
00:12:23I Will
00:12:30That's The One Reynolds Let In?
00:12:32Zero On The F-Greed Assessment
00:12:34Literally Zero
00:12:35He's Not Even Wearing A Uniform
00:12:41Ladies And Gentlemen
00:12:42He 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
00:12:48And Here He Is
00:12:50Ready For His Assessment
00:12:53Every Single One Of You Earned Your Spot
00:12:55Tests, Certifications, Years Of Training
00:12:58And Reynolds Just Hands This Guy A Pass
00:13:02So I Asked Reynolds To Let Me Go First Today
00:13:04Set The Bar
00:13:05Remind Everyone What This Place Is Actually For
00:13:17That's D-Rank Fire
00:13:18Top Of The Class
00:13:20I've Been Doing This Since I Was 14
00:13:22Your Turn Brennan
00:13:23Show Us What Reynolds Risked Her Reputation For
00:13:28Big Throw
00:13:29Biggest He's Got
00:13:31You Can See It Coming From Across The Room
00:13:33His Whole Body Loads Up Before He Let's Go
00:13:36One Shot
00:13:37He's Already Winded
00:13:38That 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
00:13:51You 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
00:13:59Is 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
00:14:08You Got Lucky Once In Some Alley And You Think That Makes You One Of Us
00:14:11I 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
00:14:22Cole Brennan
00:14:24It's Your Turn
00:14:26Demonstrate Your Ability
00:14:29Forget Him

00:21:58More
00:22:00Oh, my God.
00:22:29Oh, my God.
00:22:59Three abilities. Two slots.
00:23:15Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:23:22This young man. Pull his file.
00:23:26The test says nothing.
00:23:30The footage says three.
00:23:32Which one do we trust?
00:23:39A civilian demonstrating ability?
00:23:42That contradicts a century of awakening biology.
00:23:45The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some rift zone anomaly.
00:23:49Three independent scans, Hargrave.
00:23:51Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
00:23:53If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
00:24:00a populated area?
00:24:02Merit is our standard.
00:24:04Not bloodline. Not 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.
00:24:36The Chancellor wants to meet you.
00:24:38Tomorrow.
00:24:40Tomorrow.
00:24:48Pinnacle Academy.
00:24:49Pinnacle Academy.
00:24:50You think they don't screen their applications?
00:24:54No 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.
00:25:28Not to him.
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.
00:25:40That envelope is an invitation.
00:25:42It's a door.
00:25:48I'll go.
00:26:13No badge.
00:26:15No uniform either.
00:26:16Is he ordinary?
00:26:21No badge.
00:26:22No uniform.
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?
00:26:34What?
00:26:35Did a rift open near your house?
00:26:37You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:26:40Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:26:42My 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.
00:26:52You looked me up.
00:26:58Your file says no ability.
00:27:00But surveillance caught you using Flame and Shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
00:27:04I didn't know what was happening to me.
00:27:07I still don't fully understand it.
00:27:09The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
00:27:12I need to verify your abilities.
00:27:14Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
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.
00:27:44He 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.
00:27:58Certifications.
00:27:58Years 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.
00:28:07Remind 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.
00:28:24Show 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.
00:28:35His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:28:37One shot, he's already winded.
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.
00:29:23Cole 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.
00:29:37She has to.
00:29:39And Pinnacle has D-Rig Rift access.
00:29:41That's where they were last seen.
00:29:44That's why I'm here.
00:29:46This is the only shot I've got.
00:29:48Don't blow it.
00:30:0520 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:30:095% of population awakened powers.
00:30:13They became the new elite.
00:30:18Everyone's life is determined by...
00:30:21The power test.
00:30:22It separates people into two classes.
00:30:25The ordinary and the elite.
00:30:28Power response confirmed.
00:30:30Elite track.
00:30:31Notify the academy.
00:30:32High compatibility.
00:30:33Pass.
00:30:34You rise.
00:30:48Did he get nothing?
00:30:50Not even a spark.
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?
00:31:58Level 3 alert.
00:32:01Evacuate immediately.

00:32:41Oh, no.
00:32:49I can't outrun this.
00:33:14Mom.
00:33:15Dad.
00:33:17Please.
00:33:18Help me.
00:33:38How long was I out?
00:33:46What did you do to me?
00:33:50Card draw system activated.
00:33:53Activated.
00:33:53What the? Who's talking?
00:34:11A system? What is this?
00:34:14Defeat monsters.
00:34:15Draw cards.
00:34:17Grow 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.
00:34:32Wait! Right now?
00:34:33Beginning card draw.
00:34:35Come on!
00:34:36Whatever you are, come on!
00:34:40Ability acquired. Flame control.
00:34:43Basic tier. Equip to slot one or two.
00:34:46What is this?
00:34:53It's coming.
00:35:02Back off!
00:35:13I...
00:35:14I...
00:35:15I...
00:35:15I have an ability?
00:35:17No!
00:35:22Kill confirmed.
00:35:24Initiating card draw.
00:35:25Defeating monsters?
00:35:27Triggers a draw?
00:35:35Ability acquired.
00:35:37Shockwave.
00:35:37Basic tier.
00:35:38Slot two of two.
00:35:40Equipped.
00:35:43Full.
00:35:53You're alive?
00:35:55That mark.
00:35:57Are you an ability user?
00:36:00I don't know.
00:36:05Move.
00:36:06So...
00:36:34D-level ability user?
00:36:34That's D-level ability user.
00:36:36Trained coordinated practiced if that's the baseline where am I trying to go?
00:36:52More abilities more range
00:37:07True
00:37:09True
00:37:49Kill confirmed, card draw, ice shot, basic tier, current collection, three abilities, slots, two of two, three abilities, two slots.
00:38:13Director 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. The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some
00:38:46rift zone anomaly.
00:38:47Three independent scans, Hargrave. Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
00:38:52If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
00:38:58a populated area?
00:39:00Merit is our standard. Not bloodline. Not test scores.
00:39:06Find him.
00:39:14What are you?
00:39:22Cole Brennan?
00:39:25Who are you?
00:39:31Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office.
00:39:35The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
00:39:46Pinnacle Academy.
00:39:48You think they don't screen their applications? No ability. Not low. Zero.
00:39:57That's what's on your file.
00:39:59They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
00:40:05Stop staring at it.
00:40:06Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes. Food gets cold.
00:40:21Not to prove anything. Not to them. Not 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.
00:40:38That envelope is an invitation.
00:40:40It's a door.
00:40:46I'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?
00:41:32What? Did 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.
00:42:35He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:42:40Ladies and gentlemen, he 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.
00:42:56Certifications.
00:42:56Years of training.
00:42:57And 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.
00:43:16That'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.
00:43:23Show 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.
00:43:33His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:43:36One shot, he's already winded.
00:43:38That was his best.
00:43:39And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:43:45That was your best shot?
00:43:47Excuse 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 it.
00:43:57So, is 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.
00:44:40That's where they were last seen.
00:44:42That's why I'm here.
00:44:44This is the only shot I've got.
00:44:46Don't blow it.
00:45:0220 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:45:075% of population awakened powers.
00:45:12They became the new elite.
00:45:17Everyone's life is determined by the power test.
00:45:20It 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.
00:45:30High compatibility.
00:45:31Pass.
00:45:32You rise.
00:45:47Did he get nothing?
00:45:48Not even a spark.
00:45:49Next.
00:45:49Fail.
00:45:50It forgets you.
00:45:56Your parents were ability users, and what did it get them?
00:45:59They were failures, disappeared 10 years ago, left nothing behind.
00:46:05And now look at you.
00:46:07No ability, no future.
00:46:10Just like them.
00:46:22Their world is so far from mine.
00:46:26Dad, mom, where did you go?
00:46:56Level 3 alert.
00:46:59Evacuate immediately.
00:47:00Rift collapse on 5th and Meridian.

00:47:09Go throw the hearth extracting.
00:47:13Wait, wait, I'm still in here!
00:47:34Oh no.
00:47:48I can't outrun this!
00:47:50I can't outrun this.
00:48:11Mom. Dad.
00:48:14Please, help me.

01:02:07Go throw the hearth extracting.
01:02:11Wait, wait, I'm still in here!
01:02:33Oh, no.
01:02:46I can't outrun this!
01:03:10Mom. Dad. Please, help me.
01:03:34How long was I out?
01:03:43What did you do to me?
01:03:47Card draw system activated.
01:03:49What the? Who's talking?
01:04:07A system? What, what is this?
01:04:10Defeat monsters. Draw cards. Draw stronger.
01:04:14I can get abilities? Me?
01:04:17I'm an ordinary. This doesn't...
01:04:20Warning. Hostile entity detected.
01:04:2220 meters.
01:04:24That's the same one?
01:04:27First awakening protocol.
01:04:29Wait! Right now?
01:04:30Beginning card draw.
01:04:32Come on! Whatever you are, come on!
01:04:36Ability acquired. Flame control.
01:04:40Basic team. Equip to slot 1 or 2.
01:04:42What is this?
01:04:49It's coming.
01:04:59Back off!
01:05:09I...
01:05:10I...
01:05:11I...
01:05:12I have an ability?
01:05:13No!
01:05:18Kill confirmed. Initiating card draw.
01:05:22Defeating monsters?
01:05:23Triggers a draw?
01:05:31Ability acquired. Shockwave. Basic tier. Slot 2 of 2. Equipped.
01:05:39Full.
01:05:50You're alive?
01:05:52That mark.
01:05:53Are you an ability user?
01:05:57I don't know.
01:06:02Move.
01:06:03Move.
01:06:05Move.
01:06:06Move.
01:06:07Move.
01:06:08Move.
01:06:09Move.
01:06:30That's D-Level Ability User.
01:06:32Trained, coordinated, practiced.
01:06:35If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
01:06:48More abilities, more range, more.
01:07:21I'm not afraid.
01:07:22I'm not afraid.
01:07:22I'm afraid.
01:07:29You can see the the level of an enemy.
01:07:30I'm afraid I'm not afraid.
01:07:45Kill confirmed, card draw, ice shot, basic tier, current collection, three abilities, slots, two of two, three abilities, two slots.
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.
01:08:36That contradicts a century of awakening biology. The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some rift 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.
01:09:11What are you?
01:09:19Cole Brennan?
01:09:21Who are you?
01:09:27Pinnacle Academy. Admission's office.
01:09:31The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
01:09:34Tomorrow.
01:09:42Pinnacle Academy.
01:09:44You think they don't screen their applications?
01:09:48No ability.
01:09:50Not low.
01:09:51Zero.
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.
01:10:06Food gets cold.
01:10:18Not to prove anything.
01:10:19Not 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.
01:10:36It's a door.
01:10:42I'll go.
01:11:08No badge. No uniform either.
01:11:10Is he ordinary?
01:11:15No 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.
01:11:23Reynolds?
01:11:29What?
01:11:29Did 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.
01:11:39My 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.
01:11:55But surveillance caught you using flame and shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
01:11:58I 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.
01:12:08Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
01:12:11Because this academy has to see it for itself.
01:12:14Tomorrow.
01:12:15The entrance exam.
01:12:17Prove your worth.
01:12:18I will.
01:12:25That's the one Reynolds let in?
01:12:27Zero 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.
01:12:45Ready 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.
01:13:01Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
01:13:13That's D-rank fire.
01:13:14Top of the class.
01:13:15I'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, 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?
01:13:45You 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.
01:13:53So, 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.
01:14:11I think I'm here to take a test.
01:14:12And you're in the way.
01:14:19I think I'm here to take a test.
01:14:21I think I'm here to take a test.
01:14:36I think I'm here to take a test.
01:14:43Don't blow it.
01:15:08I think I'm here to take a test.
01:15:12Everyone's life is determined by the power test.
01:15:17It separates people into two classes, the ordinary and the elite.
01:15:22Power response confirmed.
01:15:24Elite track. Notify the academy.
01:15:27Pass. You rise.
01:15:43Did he get nothing? Not even a spark.
01:15:45Next. Fail. It forgets you.
01:15:52Your parents were ability users, and what did it get them?
01:15:56They were failures. Disappeared ten years ago, left nothing behind.
01:16:01And now look at you. No ability, no future. Just like them.
01:16:19Their world is so far from mine.
01:16:23Dad. Mom. Where did you go?
01:16:53Level 3 alert. Evacuate immediately.
01:16:57Rift collapse on 5th and Meridian. Ceiling tube inbound.
01:17:05Go throw the hearth extracting.
01:17:09Wait, wait. I'm still in here.
01:17:30Oh no.
01:17:32Oh no.
01:17:44I can't outrun this.
01:17:46I can't outrun this.
01:18:08Mom. Dad.
01:18:11Mom. Dad.
01:18:11Please. Help me.
01:18:13Mom. Dad.
01:18:15Mom. Dad.
01:18:33How long was I out?
01:18:41What did you do to me?
01:18:46I can't outrun this.
01:18:47I can't outrun this.
01:18:48What the? Who's talking?
01:19:05A system? What is this?
01:19:08Defeat monsters. Draw cards. Grow stronger.
01:19:12I can get abilities? Me? I'm an ordinary. This doesn't...
01:19:18Warning. Hostile entity detected. 20 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! Whatever you are, come on!
01:19:34Ability acquired. Flame control.
01:19:38Basic team. Equip to slot one or two.
01:19:41What is this?
01:19:47It's coming.
01:19:57Back off!
01:20:08I... I... I 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?
01:20:50That mark. Are you an ability user?
01:20:55I don't know.
01:21:00Move.
01:21:18Oh wait. Run.
01:21:26Oh wait. Run.
01:21:29Ability user. Trained, coordinated, practiced. If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
01:21:46More abilities. More range. More.
01:22:02More.
01:22:43Kill confirmed, card draw, ice shot, basic tier, current collection, three abilities, slots, two of two, three abilities, two slots.

01:24:25Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office. The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
01:24:40Pinnacle Academy. You think they don't screen their applications? No ability. Not low. Zero.
01:24:51That's what's on your file. They're not gonna make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near
01:24:58a rift. Stop staring at it. Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes. Food gets cold.

01:28:53Is that it?
01:28:56You have no idea what you're walking into.
01:28:59People with real training walk into D rank rifts and don't come back.
01:29:02You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
01:29:05I don't think I'm one of you.
01:29:07I think I'm here to take a test. And you're in the way.
01:29:16Cole Brennan. It's your turn. Demonstrate your ability.
01:29:22Forget him. Forget the crowd. None of them matter right now.
01:29:28Reynolds knows something about mom and dad. She has to.
01:29:31And Pinnacle has D rank rift access. That's where they were last seen.
01:29:37That's why I'm here. This is the only shot I've got.
01:29:40Don't blow it.
