00:00:04Nate Ryder, a sewer rat, crawls up from the lower slows and thinks he's entitled to the awakening compound?
00:00:11My dad sold plasma for three years just to get this vial of awakening compound.
00:00:16Give it back to me!
00:00:20No! No, no, no!
00:00:23You want it that bad? Lick.
00:00:31Thanks, it is.
00:00:35Awakening day today.
00:00:48The compound awakens the de Borden power inside you.
00:00:51It's my only chance to change my fate.
00:00:54And the only hope I've got left...
00:00:56To save my mom.
00:01:11My family lives deep in the lower slums.
00:01:16People up top. Good jobs, proper health care, real sunlight.
00:01:26Monsters took over this world a long time ago.
00:01:30Now, the gifted are the only reason we're still alive.
00:01:34And those who awaken powers, they worship like gods.
00:01:39For people like me, becoming gifted is the only way out.
00:01:52Holy shit, he's actually doing it!
00:01:55I did it!
00:01:57I just awakened my power!
00:01:59I just awakened my power!
00:02:24I've got a D rank, nothing impressive.
00:02:26I wish it was B rank.
00:02:28At our school, B rank's already genius level.
00:02:31And A rank?
00:02:32That's top top tier nationwide.
00:02:37I awakened?
00:02:38Wait, colored lightning?
00:02:40That's the highest rank S rank!
00:03:00I awakened?
00:03:04Wait, colored lightning?
00:03:08I'm down.
00:03:09Quick look!
00:03:12Oh my god...
00:03:16It's tricolor thunder judgment.
00:03:18Someone actually awakened an SSS raid?
00:03:22That's never happened in human history.
00:03:43Five minutes ago, they bullied me just because I'm from the slums.
00:03:51Nate Ryder, a sewer rat, crawls up from the lower slums and thinks he's entitled to the awakening compound?
00:03:57No! No, no, no!
00:04:01Holy shit, he's actually doing it!
00:04:12Little do they know, I awakened the world's only SSS rank power.
00:04:20So someone just said A rank makes you a national level genius. Does mine qualify?
00:04:26Holy shit! Lightning? That's A rank!
00:04:30And it's the deadliest ability in the entire A rank class.
00:04:33No way! We've got a national tier genius in our class!
00:04:38Tyler, this might actually be S rank.
00:04:41S rank! That's the highest tier in the entire gifted system.
00:04:45S rank is one in a million.
00:04:48You wouldn't even need federal gifted selection straight admission into the gifted academy.
00:04:52S rank gets you straight in?
00:04:54So if my test later confirms S rank, I'm going to the gifted academy? Just like that?
00:04:59Someone like that?
00:05:00Forget our country, there might not be a single one on the entire planet.
00:05:04In three thousand years of history, only three have ever reached S rank.
00:05:08Every one of them became a legend who pushed humanity forward.
00:05:11Nah, my power doesn't even come close to S rank. Not in the same league.
00:05:17Every S rank awakening is destined to become a war god.
00:05:20Power strong enough to level cities and split the sky.
00:05:23That kind of talent hasn't appeared anywhere on Earth in three hundred years.
00:05:27S rank is that powerful. I can do this.
00:05:30I'll become gifted and give mom and dad the life they deserve.
00:05:34Tyler, with A rank power, you've already locked down first place in the city selection.
00:05:38Your future is limitless.
00:05:42Oh? Even this loser awakened? That tiny spark? E rank at best.
00:05:50Well, well. Looks like our class charity pag scraped by and awakened something too.
00:05:57Awakened and still worthless.
00:06:16Mia Porter.
00:06:22Mia.
00:06:24Mia.
00:06:25Nate.
00:06:27Mia and I grew up next door to each other. Her family struck it rich and moved uptown, but we
00:06:32stayed close.
00:06:33Hi, Nate.
00:06:35Hey. What are you doing here?
00:06:37I came to see if you awakened. Did it work?
00:06:40Yeah. I did it.
00:06:43Really? Oh my god!
00:06:45You call that weak little spark a success? A spark? That's E rank, the absolute bottom of the barrel.
00:06:51E rank? Ha! Only rider would flex a junk tier ability like it's something to be proud of.
00:07:01Is it really just E rank?
00:07:05Mia, don't listen to them. My power isn't just some weak flicker.
00:07:09You work harder than anyone, Nate. There's no way you're worse than him.
00:07:17You really think that's possible, Mia? Talents bought and paid for with cold hard cash.
00:07:21I awakened A rank lightning because my family poured over 10 million into my training.
00:07:27A charity case like Nate thinks he can compare to Tyler? He's not even fit to lick his boots.
00:07:32So what if he's poor? Talent bought with daddy's money is all flash and no substance.
00:07:37Only what you awaken's on your own, actually.
00:07:39You!
00:07:42Attention. All students who have successfully awakened abilities, please report to the testing facility for rank assessment.
00:07:50This pertains to the federal gifted selection.
00:07:54Nate, Mia, once my test confirms A rank, you'll learn what a real gap looks like.
00:08:00This year the gifted academies are expanding enrollment.
00:08:03B rank and above will have the chance to apply to top institutions.
00:08:06And if anyone reaches A+, you'll receive full tuition admission into Aradeo Gifted Academy, plus a generous scholarship.
00:08:13Full tuition? A scholarship?
00:08:18A Riddier Gifted Academy?
00:08:20That's the most prestigious gifted institution in the country!
00:08:22Tyler! Don't forget about us when you make it!
00:08:24Come on. Let's go get my rank tested. See if I've hit A.
00:08:28Mia, I gotta go.
00:08:39D rank.
00:08:40D rank.
00:08:48Finn Callatin! B rank!
00:08:53B rank? That's actually B rank!
00:08:57Historically, B rank is the highest anyone's ever awakened at our school.
00:09:04Finn!
00:09:05Your B rank awakening? That's the pride of this entire academy!
00:09:15Tyler, you're definitely the number one seed this year.
00:09:20Class one testing complete. Class two, please get ready.
00:09:24I'll go first.
00:09:38A rank! A rank! This is A rank!
00:09:41A rank! It's actually A rank!
00:09:47Ashford Academy actually has an A rank Awakener?
00:09:49That could put him top of the national leaderboards.
00:09:51I need to report this to Director Vox!
00:09:56Tyler, you are incredible!
00:09:59Throughout history, every A rank Awakeler has gone on to do something great.
00:10:03Tyler, you're amazing!
00:10:05Director Vos is here!
00:10:14This is Tyler, the student who awakened at A rank.
00:10:18And this is Director Vos of Ashford Academy.
00:10:21You're Tyler?
00:10:23Director Vos, sir.
00:10:25A true prodigy.
00:10:27You are the greatest talent in our academy's history.
00:10:31Ashford Academy is proud of you!
00:10:33Director Vos, I've heard that A-plus gets you direct admission into Eridon.
00:10:38So I'd like to test again, to see if my talent is A-plus or A-minus.
00:10:42Tyler, you are Ashford Academy's treasure.
00:10:45Whatever you need, we will do our best to accommodate.
00:10:48But the machine has a fixed number of tests.
00:10:51Running another one would take someone else's slot.
00:10:53Is any student willing to give up their slot for this genius?
00:10:57On behalf of Ashford Academy, I will remember your contribution to greatness today.
00:11:08What? No one?
00:11:11Nate?
00:11:12Why don't you give your slot to me?
00:11:19Nate?
00:11:22Why don't you give your slot to me?
00:11:24No, no way!
00:11:25This test determines the federal gifted selection.
00:11:27I need to get into a gifted academy.
00:11:28I can't give up my slot!
00:11:30You're E-rank with a pathetic little spark.
00:11:32What gifted academy would ever want you?
00:11:35Why waste a test plot?
00:11:36E-rank?
00:11:37That's the absolute lowest tier.
00:11:39We can't let you waste a testing opportunity on that.
00:11:41I'm not E-rank.
00:11:42And this is my slot.
00:11:44It belongs to me.
00:11:45Director Voss, please, just give me basic fairness.
00:11:48Fairness?
00:11:49E-ranking.
00:11:51Is there even a point in testing?
00:11:52Exactly.
00:11:53A total waste, and he wants to compete with a genius for a slot?
00:11:58So selfish.
00:12:00Nate, give your slot to Tyler.
00:12:02Consider it your contribution to the school.
00:12:07I won't.
00:12:09You won't even listen to your teacher now?
00:12:11Mrs. Brennan, the federal gifted selection is everything to me.
00:12:17My dad saved up for a whole year to afford this.
00:12:20You can't take my slot!
00:12:22Take?
00:12:23Watch your tone.
00:12:25When did I ever take anything from you?
00:12:27I'm simply asking you to give it up.
00:12:30Mrs. Brennan, how is that any different from taking it?
00:12:34You!
00:12:35Someone like Tyler is destined for the top.
00:12:37Him taking your slot?
00:12:39That's you getting the privilege of doing him a favor.
00:12:41So don't be a goddamn ingrate.
00:12:43Wanna give up a slot?
00:12:44Give up yours.
00:12:46I'm taking that test no matter what, cause...
00:12:48I'm S-rank.
00:12:54He said he's S-rank?
00:12:57You don't believe me?
00:12:59I'll prove it.
00:13:00I'm S-rank.
00:13:01I'm S-rank.
00:13:02I'm S-rank.
00:13:06I'm S-rank.
00:13:06I'm S-rank.
00:13:07I'm S-rank.
00:13:08I'm S-rank.
00:13:10I'm S-rank.
00:13:10I'm S-rank.
00:13:10Enough.
00:13:11Stop embarrassing yourself.
00:13:16Alright.
00:13:17Nate just manifested a feeble little spark.
00:13:20Everyone saw it clearly.
00:13:22It's the lowest grade ability there is.
00:13:25Director Voss, that's not what happened!
00:13:29Nate, you call that S-rank?
00:13:31That's like scoring a 30 on a test and thinking you're top of the class.
00:13:38I'm not low grade, let me prove it!
00:13:40Low grade sparks do look somewhat similar to my top tier lightning, I'll give you that.
00:13:44But the difference between them is night and day.
00:13:46A charity case ace like you doesn't have the experience to tell them apart, and we get that.
00:13:50But refusing to listen?
00:13:52Refusing to listen just makes you small-minded.
00:13:54Then watch closely.
00:14:21Nate! You attacked a classmate! That's your proof?
00:14:24You're disgusting!
00:14:26It wasn't me. It wasn't me.
00:14:29Why would Tyler hit himself?
00:14:33Even if you won't give up your slot, you didn't have to attack me.
00:14:37Are you trying to stop me from entering the federal gifted selection?
00:14:42Nate, how could you hit someone?
00:14:43How dare you! Tyler is the pride of Ashford Academy.
00:14:46Being jealous because you can't measure up is one thing, but to attack him in front of everyone?
00:14:51I didn't. He did it to him.
00:14:57I saw it clearly. You attacked Tyler with your low-grade ability.
00:15:01Nate, I used to cut you slas because of your situation. You've completely disappointed me.
00:15:05Attacking a fellow student. A violation of school regulations.
00:15:08As director of Ashford Academy, I hereby revoke your eligibility for the federal gifted selection.
00:15:14Nate, you're expelled.
00:15:21Well, that's that. Expelled.
00:15:24Bottomly trashed, still trying to hog opportunities? He deserved to be expelled.
00:15:37No, no. I can't get expelled. I have to take the selection. I have to get into a gifted academy.
00:15:45I have to become gifted. I have to!
00:15:47Director Voss, please! Please! My dad saved for years just to pay the selection fee. My mom, she's sick. She's
00:15:54counting on me making it so I can afford her treatment. You can't expel me.
00:16:00Shut it!
00:16:02You assaulted a fellow student in front of everyone, and you have the audacity to stand here making excuses?
00:16:09Dude's in E-rank and thinks he's gonna go gifted? That's adorable.
00:16:12Everyone will side with me. Because I'm the genius.
00:16:17It wasn't me! I was just fighting for what's mine! Why won't a single one of you believe me?
00:16:23If it wasn't you, what? He hit himself? Tyler is the pride of all of Harbor City. Think he'd injure
00:16:29himself just to frame a talentless charity case like you? Fine.
00:16:32You're so insistent. Prove it! If you can prove your talent is higher than his, I'll believe you!
00:16:39I can prove it! I can prove it!
00:16:41Prove it how? With rock-bottom talent? You don't have what it takes.
00:16:46Tyler's talent is top-tier even nationally.
00:16:49Let's stop wasting everyone's time. Just expel him already.
00:16:52I expelled him! I expelled him!
00:16:54This is the gap between a genius and a nobody.
00:16:57Even if Fox knows I set you up, they'll still point the finger at you.
00:17:02Nate, you... Why would you do that? Is your jealousy really that bad?
00:17:10Mia, you don't believe me either?
00:17:15Nate, I...
00:17:17Mia, you care about this loser that much? Fine. Then I'll break him right in front of you.
00:17:22Nate, get on your knees and bow to me.
00:17:26Let you keep your enrichment. Enter the federal gifted selection.
00:17:30What did you just say?
00:17:31Tyler, that's way too far!
00:17:34Since Tyler is willing to accept your apology, it comes down to your sincerity.
00:17:39Neil! Neil! Neil!
00:17:43Nate, don't! Don't give him the satisfaction. You bow to no one.
00:17:47Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I'll count to three. You don't fall in line, it's over.
00:17:52No selection, no future, nothing. One.
00:17:57Two.
00:17:58And my mom loses her treatment.
00:18:00Left to die alone on that cod.
00:18:02No.
00:18:05I can't get kicked out!
00:18:07Three! Time's up.
00:18:23I'll kneel.
00:18:24God, how pathetic!
00:18:26Nate!
00:18:26Tyler, I was wrong. I'm not worthy of envying you.
00:18:30I never should have raised a hand to you.
00:18:32Director Vos, please, don't take the selection from me.
00:18:44Dad. Mom. I swear on everything. I will not let you down.
00:18:51You see that, Mia? That's the gap between a genius and a nobody.
00:18:55He'll spend his whole life under my...
00:18:56Tyler, I'm begging you, give me one chance!
00:18:59Fine. I can forgive you, but what you did still violates school rules.
00:19:03Director Vos, your call.
00:19:05Pack your things, Nate. You're done here.
00:19:08Suspended, effective now.
00:19:10If you don't accept it, I'll expel you outright.
00:19:12And strip your eligibility for the selection.
00:19:15I accept. As long as I'm still in the selection, there's still a chance.
00:19:20Nate.
00:19:21Three days.
00:19:23Just give me three days and I'll bring your golden boy to his knees in front of every last one
00:19:27of you.
00:19:31My real power will show itself in the selection, in front of everyone.
00:19:35My rigged test result will be all the proof they need that Vos abused his authority.
00:19:40And Tyler, you bullied me, humiliated me.
00:19:43I'll make you pay for everything.
00:19:45Get lost.
00:19:46Go on, scram!
00:19:48Nate.
00:19:49I'm still in high school, and I've already got a school director wrapped around my finger.
00:19:53Nate, someone like you will never know what real power feels like.
00:20:02Before I leave this place, let me hit the training hall one last time.
00:20:07See where my power's at.
00:20:20Director Merritt, you're the head of Crestman Academy, so why'd you drag me all the way to Ashford's training hall?
00:20:24Ha, ha, ha, because Crestman produced a once-in-a-generation genius.
00:20:28Of course I'm bringing you here to flex.
00:20:30A-plus talent, you're at least top three in the entire country.
00:20:33With this year's selection, Crestman is guaranteed a spot among the top three academies nationwide.
00:20:39So why are we slumming it at Ashford?
00:20:40Everyone here's a joke.
00:20:41What, you want me to spar with these people?
00:20:42Spar with them?
00:20:43They're not worth your time.
00:20:44I want you to set a record on this power index scanner.
00:20:47One they'll never touch.
00:20:49Not in a hundred years.
00:20:50A record they'll never touch?
00:20:51I get it, you want Ashford under our boot forever.
00:20:53Exactly.
00:20:54Let's do it.
00:21:10The energy coming off him.
00:21:12So this is A-plus power.
00:21:19Zane Whitford, power index, 1014.
00:21:22Over a thousand!
00:21:23That's A-plus talent right there.
00:21:25One punch, and you're already hitting gifted-level power.
00:21:29Second place, Zane Howard, only 536.
00:21:32Not even close.
00:21:34Pathetic.
00:21:47Let's go.
00:21:49You two go ahead.
00:21:49Wait for me at the entrance.
00:21:50I need to use the restroom.
00:21:57Sorry, sorry.
00:22:01Loser.
00:22:04Next, we hit the other schools.
00:22:06I want you to set a record record at each one that they'll never break.
00:22:11A record they'll never break?
00:22:13Zane Whitmild, power index, one wind deck, 1014?
00:22:17Holy crap.
00:22:18Was that the guy who just left?
00:22:21Let me give it a shot, see where I'm at.
00:22:23Please enter your name.
00:22:26Skip.
00:22:28Skip.
00:22:29Skip.
00:22:33Skip.
00:22:35Skip.
00:22:39Skip.
00:22:44Skip.
00:22:48Skip.
00:22:49Skip.
00:22:52Skip.
00:22:53Skip.
00:22:53Skip.
00:22:54Skip.
00:22:54Skip.
00:23:00What? 4837!
00:23:10Who the hell was that?
00:23:21I have to tell Director Merrick, now!
00:23:24Ashford students are all jokes.
00:23:25My 1014, they'll never come close.
00:23:28Zane, with your gift, you'll become a war god gifted one day.
00:23:32A legend.
00:23:33And the record you set here?
00:23:35It'll be the benchmark lesser talents measure themselves against for centuries.
00:23:42Director Merrick, we have a problem.
00:23:45Zane's record, it's been broken.
00:23:47Some student just shattered it.
00:23:49What did you say? A student broke Zane's record?
00:23:52How much higher is his score?
00:23:54F4.
00:23:54F4 points?
00:23:56That's 10118.
00:23:57Someone actually outscored this genius by 4 points?
00:23:59Who the hell has the nerve?
00:24:03Not 4 points, 4, 4 times!
00:24:09FOUR TIMES?!
00:24:10FOUR TIMES?!
00:24:23FOUR EIGHT THIRTY SEVEN!
00:24:26No way!
00:24:27There's no way!
00:24:28I'm A-plus and I only hit 1014!
00:24:30This kid's in high school!
00:24:31How the hell is he putting up tier 3 gifted numbers?
00:24:33Even top graduates from Erdo can't do that!
00:24:36Could it be?
00:24:37Ashford has an S-rank student?
00:24:40Even S-rank can't break 4,000!
00:24:42The S-rank from 300 years ago, they call the Rilling greatest history.
00:24:46He only hit 24-23!
00:25:0224-23!
00:25:04That's not even half of this guy's score!
00:25:05How is that possible?!
00:25:06Right!
00:25:07This is absurd!
00:25:08It has to be a score left behind by some senior gifted!
00:25:13Impossible!
00:25:15Only students can get into the training hall!
00:25:17You need a student ID to even open the door!
00:25:19This was definitely a student!
00:25:27Wait...
00:25:29Was it that guy from earlier?
00:25:38Was it that guy from earlier?
00:25:44Hmm?
00:25:45Sorry, sorry.
00:25:49Heh, loser.
00:25:52That's really him.
00:26:05After him!
00:26:14Did you get a good look at his face?
00:26:17No.
00:26:18I didn't.
00:26:20Awakening season is over.
00:26:21And I never heard about an S-Rag emerging at Ashford.
00:26:24Could he not even be, need I be one of their students?
00:26:27Is it possible Director Voss at Ashford concealed the result?
00:26:30Impossible!
00:26:31An S-Rag emergence is a matter of national skimdittance.
00:26:34Every school is required to report up the chain!
00:26:36Does Voss have the guts to hide something like that?
00:26:39He'd lose his head!
00:26:43Commissioner Cross?
00:26:44It's Merrick.
00:26:44Sir, we may have an S-Rank on our hand.
00:26:46Yes.
00:26:46I'm on my way to report in person.
00:26:56I'm on my way to report in person.
00:26:58Son!
00:27:00You're home!
00:27:01So, did it work?
00:27:03Did you awaken?
00:27:07Did...
00:27:08Did...
00:27:08Did...
00:27:08Did it not work?
00:27:14I...
00:27:14Son!
00:27:15Hey, it's okay!
00:27:16It's okay!
00:27:17I'll teach you how to make a living!
00:27:18We won't starve!
00:27:19Dad!
00:27:20Mom!
00:27:21I awakened!
00:27:22It worked!
00:27:22I can get into a gifted academy now!
00:27:25Really?
00:27:27That's amazing!
00:27:29But I heard all the kids who awaken have to do pre-selection combat training.
00:27:32How come you're home?
00:27:34I...
00:27:34I just ran back real quick to tell you guys the good news.
00:27:37That's it.
00:27:37I gotta get back for the combat training.
00:27:39Hold on.
00:27:47Here.
00:27:48Take this.
00:27:50Get yourself some real food, okay?
00:27:52Don't be stingy with it.
00:27:53If you need more, I'll figure it out tomorrow.
00:27:55Come on!
00:27:56Just take it!
00:28:01Dad, two bucks is plenty.
00:28:03I don't need all this.
00:28:04Anyway, I gotta get back.
00:28:13That boy forgot his bag.
00:28:16I'll see if I can scrape together some cash from the guys tomorrow.
00:28:19Drop the bag off at school while I'm at it.
00:28:24Three days.
00:28:25Everyone's training for the selection.
00:28:27And I'm locked out.
00:28:29Voss made sure of that.
00:28:30What do I do?
00:28:32Gift means nothing without real combat.
00:28:36Wait.
00:28:37There's still one way.
00:28:45This is it.
00:28:55Gifted services.
00:28:57Bounty hunting.
00:28:58The selection's about real combat.
00:29:00Can't train at school?
00:29:01Fine.
00:29:02I'll ride with a pro gifted.
00:29:03Face real beasts in the wild.
00:29:11Only catch.
00:29:12I mess up.
00:29:13I'm dead.
00:29:14No respawn.
00:29:18Face the fear.
00:29:27One hour.
00:29:29Where am I even supposed to dig up a civil to be your outrider?
00:29:34Tier two gifted.
00:29:35Not my problem.
00:29:37Paying member.
00:29:38One hour.
00:29:39Get it done.
00:29:40You're tier two hunting a tier two beast.
00:29:42Any civvy assisting you, that's basically suicide.
00:29:46It's blood bounty work.
00:29:48Nobody signs up for that.
00:29:50No one in an hour.
00:29:51I want my refund.
00:29:53Job specs.
00:29:54Outside the barrier.
00:29:55Primedial forest.
00:29:57One day.
00:29:57One night.
00:29:58Blood bounty.
00:29:59Ten grand.
00:30:00Ten grand.
00:30:01One day.
00:30:02Timing's perfect.
00:30:03That's more than my parents make in two years.
00:30:06Being gifted really is where the money's at.
00:30:09I'll do it.
00:30:12I'll do it.
00:30:14You're willing?
00:30:16Great.
00:30:17Let's get this signed.
00:30:18Now.
00:30:19This twig.
00:30:23Pass.
00:30:24Next.
00:30:26Miss Luna.
00:30:27He's it.
00:30:28Tier two beast hunt.
00:30:29No civvies lining up for that.
00:30:31It's suicide.
00:30:32Broke?
00:30:33Yeah.
00:30:34Ten grand's three years of living for my family.
00:30:37Primal forest.
00:30:38Targets a tier two saber tooth.
00:30:41Lethal.
00:30:42You sure about this?
00:30:44A saber tooth?
00:30:45That's a rare class beast.
00:30:47I won't back down.
00:30:48You have my word.
00:30:50Seen plenty of guys crease up the second a beast shows.
00:30:54Fair warning.
00:30:55When it hits the fan, I won't babysit you.
00:30:58Eighty percent chance you die.
00:31:00I'm not afraid.
00:31:05Fine.
00:31:06Your funeral.
00:31:07Let's move.
00:31:08Name's Luna Castillo.
00:31:10Nate Rider.
00:31:10I'm actually gifted too.
00:31:12My power's-
00:31:13Don't care.
00:31:13You're a civvy to me.
00:31:19I'm a civvies.
00:31:21Pardon?
00:31:29You're a civvies.
00:31:34Please, help me.
00:31:35You're a civvies.
00:31:38I'm afraid you will sleep.
00:31:39I'll be in, there's a different side.
00:31:39You're a civvies.
00:31:42I'll be in, there's a different side.
00:31:43I'll be in.
00:31:43I'll be in.
00:31:44One of my princes.
00:32:00This is it.
00:32:02So this is the wild.
00:32:07Sivvy, bag, open it.
00:32:15God, what is this? It reeks.
00:32:17Elk prime cut. Sabertooth cubs can't resist it.
00:32:21Where do I put it?
00:32:23You hold it.
00:32:24Wait, I hold it? Like, the whole time?
00:32:28Your bait. I'll try to keep you breathing.
00:32:33Hold on, when did I become the bait?
00:32:35Don't be smart. Sense on you now. Leave my sight, you're dead.
00:32:41Wait!
00:32:44What?
00:32:45What?
00:32:57Intel checks out. Tier 2 Sabertooth. Sense fresh.
00:33:02It's close. Eyes on us.
00:33:04It's watching us? Right now?
00:33:15Oh, I can't breathe.
00:33:45Get down now
00:33:55No, stop I didn't come here to run face it
00:34:41It bolted, go!
00:34:49Her powers storm, locks him down, tears him apart, top-rate combat gift.
00:34:54This close to a real fight, can't waste it. Memorize everything.
00:35:05Tier 2 beast, Blood Python!
00:35:12Wait, I did that?
00:35:16They say Eridor's best can fight.
00:35:19Tier 2 beast straight out of school. It's nuts.
00:35:23Eridor's built different.
00:35:24If I'm already at this level, Eridor's in the bag.
00:35:30She got it!
00:35:32Out here, there's no law. Kill someone, doesn't count.
00:35:37Run, make it back alive, forget about me.
00:35:39You're no match for a Tier 2.
00:35:41He's Tier 2 too? What about you?
00:35:43I'll buy you time.
00:35:46Run? From me?
00:35:47Chut-chut-chut!
00:35:49Chut-chut!
00:35:50Go!
00:35:55Already on your last legs, huh?
00:35:58I said go!
00:36:01No. We leave together. Luna, the ice queen they call you. Never been touched by a man? I'll fix that
00:36:08today.
00:36:11Fight me.
00:36:12Oh! A Seville playing hero? That's adorable.
00:36:18Unbelievable. He's an idiot.
00:36:19Know your place, trash. One punch. That's all it takes. Die!
00:36:24You! Tier 3! That's impossible!
00:36:54A high schooler. One hit. Dropped a Tier 2.
00:37:03Look at me.
00:37:11Know what rank you are?
00:37:13Best rank.
00:37:14No. Matching a Tier 3. That's SSS. Legends only.
00:37:18SSS?
00:37:20Know what that means?
00:37:26You'll rewrite history.
00:37:28Your humanity's future.
00:37:36Training room. Nate's gotta be inside.
00:37:38Made cornbread. Brought chicken. He can share with his classmates.
00:37:51One twenty-five? Damn. Three hundred cut-offs a mile away.
00:38:00Do you think Tyler hits a thousand?
00:38:02A rank? Probably.
00:38:05A thousand's top tier across the Federation.
00:38:07Quiet! Tyler, you're up.
00:38:19Nine done two? That's near Tier 1.
00:38:22That's A rank. Insane.
00:38:24Ha ha! Tyler! Strongest student in Ashford history. The school's pride.
00:38:32Keep it up.
00:38:36Hey, kids.
00:38:37Who's that?
00:38:38Nate's dad, I think.
00:38:41Yikes. That broke?
00:38:43Who are you?
00:38:44Nate. I'm Nate's dad. I brought him food. Where is he?
00:38:49Get him out.
00:38:50Homemade cornbread. Try some. Go on, try some.
00:38:55Nate. Why isn't he here?
00:38:58Your son's been suspended.
00:39:07Suspended?
00:39:09What? How? The selection's in two days.
00:39:12Your boy got jealous and attacked Tyler. Suspended. You didn't know?
00:39:15Nate attacked someone?
00:39:18Impossible.
00:39:19Saw it with our own eyes.
00:39:21And not just anyone.
00:39:22Tyler. Best student in Ashford history.
00:39:25Your son almost destroyed him.
00:39:27My son would never!
00:39:29He's not like that!
00:39:30Like father, like son.
00:39:32Kid attacks people. Dad makes excuses.
00:39:34Poor people always trouble.
00:39:35There's a mistake?
00:39:36Your son did it! Quit lying! Scum!
00:39:39Mia, you grew up with him.
00:39:41He's not like this.
00:39:42Uncle Ed, I saw it happen. I'm sorry.
00:39:47Director Boss, please.
00:39:49The selection's in two days.
00:39:51Just one more chance.
00:39:54Don't touch me!
00:39:55Without this, his life's over! I'm begging you!
00:40:01People like you think you deserve a gifted academy?
00:40:04Look at you.
00:40:06Dirt poor.
00:40:07That's why your kid's jealous.
00:40:09Get out.
00:40:14Cost real money.
00:40:16Only eat this once a year.
00:40:23It's just bread. Pathetic.
00:40:28Nate's not embarrassed.
00:40:29Enough! Testing's done. Rankings. Ms. Brennan, pull it up.
00:40:33Rankings live.
00:40:36Done.
00:40:40Let's go back.
00:40:42Already?
00:40:43An SSS running around the primage forest? We're leaving.
00:40:46Anything happens to you, that's on me.
00:40:49Get in. Going home.
00:40:51That Voss thing?
00:40:52I'll handle it.
00:40:54He's the director, though.
00:40:55I'm tier two.
00:40:56He jumps when I say jump.
00:40:58Plus, my dad outranks him by ten levels.
00:41:00Voss is an ant.
00:41:01Get in.
00:41:03Oh, okay.
00:41:03Hey.
00:41:13Number one.
00:41:14Obviously.
00:41:29Tyler, third!
00:41:32Third me?
00:41:38Impossible.
00:41:42What is this?
00:41:43How am I third?
00:41:44Relax.
00:41:45Relax. Might be a glitch. Let's see who's above you.
00:41:58Zane? Who?
00:42:00Zane? From Crestmont? Crestmont's Zane? No wonder it sounded familiar.
00:42:06Why is he on our board?
00:42:07I heard Zane's A+. Half a wreck above Tyler.
00:42:111-1-4. That's tier 1 level. A-plus is this strong?
00:42:171-1-2. First place? Who the hell?
00:42:263 A ranks in one year?
00:42:28Zane's 2nd. What the hell is first?
00:42:31Never heard of a 3rd though. Who?

00:51:24Ashford Academy, Nate Ryder, E-Rank, Powerya Index 57
00:51:28versus 9th District Academy, Scarlet Vane, D-Rank, Power Index 136.
00:51:34This week? And she's sick too.
00:51:36Power Index 57? And he showed up to the selection?
00:51:40He heard his dad's a slum laborist.
00:51:42Laborer's kid wants to make it? Go home and inherit the mop.
00:51:49Lucky me. A total waste. This round's mine.
00:51:59Can't even react to a D-Rank. Pathetic.
00:52:11Where?
00:52:21What just happened?
00:52:22I-I didn't see it either.
00:52:24She was sick, right? Just collapsed?
00:52:28Nate won. Lucky him.
00:52:30But the higher he climbs on luck, the harder I'll crush him in front of everyone.
00:52:36Nate Ryder wins.
00:52:42This is the gap between genius and trash.
00:52:44A D-Rank getting to fight me? Biggest honor of your life.
00:52:49Tyler Ashford wins.
00:52:53So this is A-Rank power? Insane!
00:52:56Tyler's got to be this year's top seed.
00:53:02Ashford's top seed.
00:53:03Still got to be this year's top seed.
00:53:04Still got a shot at champ.
00:53:06Vos only cares about this A-Rank Tyler.
00:53:08So the one with nearly 5,000 isn't from Ashford?
00:53:18That Ashford student.
00:53:28That Ashford student.
00:53:37Hmm?
00:53:38Sorry. Sorry.
00:53:43Loser.
00:53:47Could it be him?
00:53:49Director Vos.
00:53:50That one's from Ashford too, right?
00:53:51What's his name?
00:53:53Commissioner Merritt.
00:53:54Interested in Ashford students?
00:53:55Let me introduce you.
00:53:57That one is our top seed.
00:53:58As for the one you ask about,
00:54:01that's Nate Ryder.
00:54:02Just an E-Rank waste.
00:54:04A waste?
00:54:05He already advanced.
00:54:07Luck.
00:54:08Nothing more.
00:54:11Nothing more.
00:54:12Nothing more.
00:54:13Nothing more.
00:54:14He won.
00:54:20Nate Ryder wins.
00:54:23Did he win?
00:54:25E-Rank beat a C-Rank?
00:54:27That's two ranks above.
00:54:29He actually won.
00:54:30And his hands never left his pockets?
00:54:32That waste won again.
00:54:34Lucky bastard.
00:54:36It is him.
00:54:37The near 5,000 genius is this Ashford kid,
00:54:40Nate Ryder.
00:54:41This Vos is a clown.
00:54:43Can't tell strength from luck.
00:54:44No wonder he buried a talent like this.
00:54:51Tyler!
00:54:52Nate!
00:54:53He won again!
00:54:57What?
00:54:57Again?
00:54:58Yeah.
00:54:59Dumb luck again.
00:55:00Can't be luck every time.
00:55:02What's he hiding?
00:55:03So what?
00:55:04He meets Tyler.
00:55:05He's dead.
00:55:08He better pray he doesn't face me.
00:55:16Crestmont Academy.
00:55:17Zane Whitmore!
00:55:18Who's Zane Whitmore?
00:55:20Crestmont's A-plus genius.
00:55:23A-plus?
00:55:25The guy who scored a 10-1-4?
00:55:30Which one's Tyler Ashworth?
00:55:33That's me.
00:55:34So you're the 900-point once-in-a-century prodigy from Ashford.
00:55:38Don't think you're 10-14 means you've already won.
00:55:40Numbers are numbers.
00:55:41Real fights are real fights.
00:55:42You're barely above me.
00:55:43Get in the ring.
00:55:43You might not walk out on top.
00:55:51Nate Ryder wins.
00:55:54Won again.
00:55:55E-ranking one-shots a B-rank.
00:55:57He's in the top eight.
00:55:58What?
00:56:00Nate's in the top eight?
00:56:04Sorry.
00:56:05Sorry.
00:56:08Loser.
00:56:11So that's Nate Ryder.
00:56:14Won again.
00:56:16B-to-B rank.
00:56:17Same as before.
00:56:18Finds the weak point.
00:56:19One strike.
00:56:20Done.
00:56:21Terrifying.
00:56:22Quarterfinals starting.
00:56:23Ashford's Tyler Ashworth.
00:56:25Top three guaranteed.
00:56:28Preliminaries complete.
00:56:30Quarterfinals begin.
00:56:32Quarterfinal match won.
00:56:34Nate Ryder E-ranked.
00:56:35Power index 57.
00:56:39Linnau.
00:56:40Quasi A-ranked.
00:56:41Power index 738.
00:56:46Linnau is unstoppable.
00:56:48Third district's once-in-a-century prodigy.
00:56:50Destroy that lucky Ashford trash.
00:56:52An E-ranked waste with 57 power made it to the quarters.
00:56:54Your luck created a miracle.
00:56:55But against absolute power, you don't stand a chance.
00:56:59Linnau is only 7 and 38, way below me.
00:57:02But one hits all he needs to expose Nate for the lucky fraud he is.
00:57:07Nate, all that pain.
00:57:09Today you can finally put it right.
00:57:13Nate Ryder, you made the quarters.
00:57:16If you win again, it proves I, Howard Voss, was blind.
00:57:22Match start.
00:57:31Let me show you what real power looks like.
00:57:35Thousand blade storm!
00:58:03So, I really am this strong now.
00:58:13Nate Ryder wins.
00:58:15Advances to semi-finals.
00:58:25What just happened?
00:58:27E-ranked Nate beat an A-rank?
00:58:29A-ranked?
00:58:32No way.
00:58:33That's really Nate?
00:58:35One, one hit?
00:58:37Is Nate really E-rank?
00:58:39Did we get him wrong?
00:58:41Nearly 5,000.
00:58:43Terrifying, as expected.
00:58:47Director Voss, the waste who had to beg you for a spot in this selection, did I disappoint?
00:58:53What?
00:58:54He had to kneel to the director just to compete?
00:58:56Doesn't every student have the right?
00:58:58Was the director suppressing him?
00:59:00Director Voss, is this how the academy treats its students?
00:59:04Doesn't every student have the right?
00:59:06Was the director suppressing him?
00:59:09You dare accuse me?
00:59:11Nate Ryder, you got this far on luck, nothing more.
00:59:13Think you're actually a genius?
00:59:15Then prove it.
00:59:15Beat Tyler Ashford in front of everyone.
00:59:17Take first place.
00:59:20Tyler Ashford wins.
00:59:22Advances to semifinals.
00:59:24Aria, semifinalist confirmed.
00:59:25Crespin Kadamer, Zane Whitmer, power index 1-1-2-4.
00:59:28Tyler Ashfield, 9-3-2.
00:59:30Sarah Hale, 900.
00:59:31Nate Ryder, power index 57.
00:59:38Tyler, next round is Nate.
00:59:41Even if Nate's got tricks, he can't beat you.
00:59:46I'll never lose to him.
00:59:47That so?
00:59:48I'd say you're already done.
00:59:50Done?
00:59:50Losing to a guy 57?
00:59:52I don't know what went wrong at Ashford, but Nate's real power isn't 57.
00:59:55It's 48-37.
00:59:5748-37?
00:59:58How?
00:59:58That score came from your school.
01:00:00So tell me, who else could it belong to?
01:00:03It's really Nate?
01:00:04That night, I left 10-14 at your school.
01:00:06But after me, someone else showed up.
01:00:09Who?
01:00:09Nate Ryder.
01:00:11After he entered that training room, 48-37 appeared.
01:00:14Impossible.
01:00:16Impossible.
01:00:16The anonymous genius is Nate.
01:00:19Nate.
01:00:28Nate.
01:00:30Get on your knees and bow to me.
01:00:33Let you keep your enrichment.
01:00:35Enter the federal gifted selection.
01:00:45Given your history, you probably won't go easy.
01:00:48Five times my power.
01:00:49I framed him.
01:00:51Almost cost him the selection.
01:00:52Made him kneel.
01:00:53If I face him, he'll cripple me.
01:00:54What do I do?
01:00:55If he breaks me, I'll spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair.
01:00:59No!
01:01:00No!
01:01:00I'm gonna be gifted!
01:01:02I'm a gifted!
01:01:03I'm a genius!
01:01:03My future, I can't throw it away here!
01:01:06Tyler!
01:01:06You okay?
01:01:07Don't touch me!
01:01:09Don't touch me!
01:01:09I don't want to go up there!
01:01:10Next match, Tyler Ashworth, power index 902, versus Nate Ryder, power index 57.
01:01:22Tyler!
01:01:23Tyler!
01:01:24Tyler!
01:01:25Tyler!
01:01:30Everyone's waiting for you.
01:01:31I don't want to go up.
01:01:32Nate will kill me.
01:01:34If you bail, you'll be a joke.
01:01:35Just go.
01:01:36Worst case, forfeit after one move.
01:01:37Right, right, right.
01:01:38I can forfeit.
01:01:39Forfeit and it's over.
01:01:52Semi-final match won.
01:01:54Nate Ryder versus Tyler Ashworth.
01:01:56Begin.
01:02:04That's Nate's power?
01:02:06That's S-rank level!
01:02:08How is he rated E?
01:02:09This is, this is S-rank ability, tricolor thunder judgment?
01:02:18I can't beat him.
01:02:20Nate, you're incredible.
01:02:23It's real.
01:02:24Tricolor thunder judgment.
01:02:26Tyler Ashworth, let's go.
01:02:29Wait, wait, I forfeit!
01:02:32Nate, I forfeit!
01:02:33I was wrong!
01:02:37Tyler Ashworth's on his knees?
01:02:39Awakening Day, you were on top of the world.
01:02:41Made me kneel, would you say?
01:02:43This is the gap between genius and trash?
01:02:45I was blind.
01:02:46I'm sorry.
01:02:46I apologize.
01:02:47I'm just a laborer's kid.
01:02:49Your apology's too good for me.
01:02:51Not gonna fight?
01:02:52Then I won't hold back.
01:02:56He's running?
01:03:05Nate, please.
01:03:07I'm sorry.
01:03:08I'm sorry.
01:03:09Never again.
01:03:10I swear.
01:03:15No!
01:03:24Winner, Nate Ryder.
01:03:26Advancing to finals.
01:03:29He didn't even touch him?
01:03:31An A-rank scared unconscious?
01:03:32He never swung.
01:03:33Tyler passed out from fear.
01:03:35No!
01:03:39Director Voss.
01:03:41You abused your power.
01:03:43Stripped my rights.
01:03:45Made me kneel.
01:03:46Today, I take it all back.
01:03:50Do it.
01:03:54Howard Voss.
01:03:56Abuse of authority.
01:03:57You're coming with us.
01:03:59What is this?
01:04:00Get your hands off me!
01:04:01Do you know who I am?
01:04:04Final match.
01:04:05Nate Ryder versus Zayn Whitney.
01:04:15Nate, I can't beat you.
01:04:18I forfeit!
01:04:20Zayn Witter forfeits.
01:04:21Winner, Nate Ryder.
01:04:23This year's federal gifted selection champion,
01:04:25Nate Ryder.
01:04:30On behalf of Aridor Gifted Academy,
01:04:32I present the world's one and only S-ranked special recruitment.
01:04:52Dad!
01:04:53Mom!
01:04:54I made it, Aridale!
01:05:07I made it, Aridale!
01:05:12Thank you for everything.
01:05:25Nate!
01:05:26Where to this time?
01:05:29Primeval Forest.
01:05:31Let's move.
