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.
00:00:23It separates people into two classes, the ordinary and the elite.
00:00:29Power response confirmed.
00:00:31Elite track. Notify the academy.
00:00:33High compatibility.
00:00:34Pass. You rise.
00:00:49Did he get nothing? Not even a spark.
00:00:51Next.
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.
00:01:13Just like them.
00:01:26Their world is so far from mine.
00:01:29Dad, Mom, where did you go?
00:01:59Level 3 alert.

00:05:54You're alive?

00:05:57Are you an ability user?
00:06:01I don't know.

00:06:35That's D-level ability user.
00:06:37Trained.

00:06:52More abilities.
00:06:55More range.
00:06:56More.
00:06:57You made a difference.
00:07:09How!
00:07:09New.
00:07:10New.
00:07:10New.
00:07:11New.

00:07:13New.
00:07:14New.
00:07:14New.
00:07:15New.
00:07:17New.
00:07:24Let's go.
00:07:49Kill confirmed.
00:07:51Card draw.
00:07:52Ice shot.
00:07:53Basic tier.
00:07:55Current collection.
00:07:55Three abilities.
00:07:56Slots.
00:07:57Two of two.
00:07:58Three abilities.
00:07:59Two slots.
00:08:14Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:08:21This young man.
00:08:22Pull his file.
00:08:25The test says nothing.
00:08:29The footage says three.
00:08:31Which one do we trust?
00:08:37A civilian demonstrating ability?
00:08:41That contradicts a century of awakening biology.
00:08:44The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some rift zone anomaly.
00:08:48Three independent scans, Hargrave.
00:08:49Then the scans confirmed it.
00:08:51He has no ability.
00:08:53If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time
00:08:58the rift opens in a populated area?
00:09:01Merit is our standard.
00:09:03Not bloodline.
00:09:05Not test scores.
00:09:07Find him.
00:09:15What are you?
00:09:24Cold Brennan?
00:09:26Who are you?
00:09:32Pinnacle Academy.
00:09:33Admissions office.
00:09:35The Chancellor wants to meet you.
00:09:37Tomorrow.
00:09:39Tomorrow.
00:09:47Pinnacle Academy.
00:09:49You think they don't screen their applications?
00:09:53No ability.
00:09:54Not low.
00:09:56Zero.
00:09:58That's what's on your file.
00:10:00They're not gonna make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
00:10:06Stop staring at it.
00:10:08Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
00:10:11Food gets cold.
00:10:22Not to prove anything.
00:10:24Not to them.
00:10:27Not to him.
00:10:29Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
00:10:32Restricted zones.
00:10:34Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:10:36But in those rifts, something happened in there.
00:10:39That envelope is an invitation.
00:10:41It's a door.
00:10:47I'll go.
00:11:12No badge.
00:11:14No uniform either.
00:11:15Is he ordinary?
00:11:16Is 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.
00:11:41My grandfather helped build this program.
00:11:44My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
00:11:47Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
00:11:51You looked me up.
00:11:57Your file says no ability.
00:11:59But surveillance caught you using Flame and Shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
00:12:03I didn't know what was happening to me.
00:12:06I still don't fully understand it.
00:12:08The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
00:12:11I need to verify your abilities.
00:12:13Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
00:12:16Because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:12:19Tomorrow.
00:12:20The entrance exam.
00:12:22Prove your worth.
00:12:24I will.
00:12:30That's the one Reynolds let in?
00:12:32Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
00:12:34Literally zero.
00:12:36He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:12:41Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up.
00:12:44I told you yesterday.
00:12:45I told all of you.
00:12:46Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
00:12:49And here he is.
00:12:50Ready for his assessment.
00:12:53Every single one of you earned your spot.
00:12:56Tests, 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.
00:13:05Set the bar.
00:13:06Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
00:13:17That's D-rank fire.
00:13:19Top of the class.
00:13:20I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:13:22Your turn, Brennan.
00:13:23Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:13:28Big throw.
00:13:29Big throw.
00:13:30Big throw.
00:13:30Biggest he's got.
00:13:31You can see it coming from across the room.
00:13:33His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:13:36One shot, he's already winded.
00:13:39That was his best.
00:13:40And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:13:45That was your best shot?
00:13:48Excuse me?
00:13:49You asked to go first.
00:13:52You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
00:13:54Held the fireball an extra second.
00:13:56So everyone could see.
00:13:58So, is that it?
00:14:02You have no idea what you're walking into.
00:14:05People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
00:14:08You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
00:14:12I don't think I'm one of you.
00:14:14I think I'm here to take a test.
00:14:16And you're in the way.
00:14:22Cole Brennan.
00:14:24It's your turn.
00:14:26Demonstrate your ability.
00:14:29Forget him.
00:14:30Forget the crowd.
00:14:31None of them matter right now.
00:14:34Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
00:14:37She has to.
00:14:38And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
00:14:40That's where they were last seen.
00:14:43That's why I'm here.
00:14:45This is the only shot I've got.
00:14:47Don't blow it.
00:15:0620 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.

00:38:14Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:38:20This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says three. Which one do we trust?
00:38:37A civilian demonstrating ability? That contradicts a century of awakening biology. 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? Merit is our standard.
00:39:02Not bloodline. Not test scores. Find him.
00:39:14What are you?
00:39:22Cole Brennan?
00:39:25Who are you?

00:40:04a rift. Stop staring at it. Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes. Food gets cold.

00:40:26But to him.

00:54:50No ability.
00:54:51Not low.
00:54:53Zero.
00:54:55That's what's on your file.
00:54:58They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a

00:55:03Stop staring at it.
00:55:05Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.

00:55:31Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:55:34But in those rifts, something happened in there.
00:55:37That envelope is an invitation.
00:55:38It's a door.
00:55:44I'll go.
00:56:09No badge.
00:56:11No uniform either.
00:56:12Is he ordinary?
00:56:17No badge.
00:56:19No uniform.
00:56:20What are you doing in here?
00:56:21Meeting with Director Reynolds.
00:56:23I'm here to see the director.
00:56:25Reynolds?
00:56:31What?
00:56:31Did a rift open near your house?
00:56:34You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:56:36Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:56:39My grandfather helped build this program.
00:56:41My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
00:56:45Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
00:56:48You looked me up.
00:56:55Your file says no ability.
00:56:57But surveillance caught you using Flame and Shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
00:57:00I didn't know what was happening to me.
00:57:03I still don't fully understand it.
00:57:05The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
00:57:08I need to verify your abilities.
00:57:10Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
00:57:13Because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:57:16Tomorrow.
00:57:17The entrance exam.
00:57:19Prove your worth.
00:57:21I will.
00:57:27That's the one Reynolds let in?
00:57:29Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
00:57:32Literally zero.
00:57:33He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:57:39Ladies and gentlemen.
00:57:40He actually showed up.
00:57:41I told you yesterday.
00:57:43I told all of you.
00:57:44Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
00:57:46And here he is.
00:57:47Ready for his assessment.
00:57:51Every single one of you earned your spot.
00:57:53Tests.
00:57:54Certifications.
00:57:55Years of training.
00:57:56And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
00:57:59So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
00:58:02Set the bar.
00:58:03Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
00:58:15That's D-rank fire.
00:58:16Top of the class.
00:58:17I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:58:20Your turn Brennan.
00:58:21Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:58:25Big throw.
00:58:27Biggest he's got.
00:58:28You can see it coming from across the room.
00:58:31His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:58:34One shot he's already winded.
00:58:36That was his best.
00:58:37And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:58:43That was your best shot?
00:58:46Excuse me?
00:58:47You asked to go first.
00:58:49You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
00:58:52Held the fireball an extra second.
00:58:54So everyone could see.
00:58:55So.
00:58:56Is that it?
00:58:59You have no idea what you're walking into.
00:59:03People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
00:59:06You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
00:59:09I don't think I'm one of you.
00:59:11I think I'm here to take a test.
00:59:13And you're in the way.
00:59:20Cole Brennan.
00:59:21It's your turn.
00:59:23Demonstrate your ability.
00:59:26Forget him.
00:59:27Forget the crowd.
00:59:29None of them matter right now.
00:59:31Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
00:59:34She has to.
00:59:35And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
00:59:38That's where they were last seen.
00:59:40That's why I'm here.
00:59:42This is the only shot I've got.
00:59:44Don't blow it.
01:00:0120 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
01:00:065% of population awakened powers.
01:00:09They became the new elite.
01:00:15Everyone's life is determined by the power test.
01:00:19It separates people into two classes.
01:00:21The ordinary and the elite.
01:00:24Power response confirmed.
01:00:26Elite track.
01:00:27Notify the academy.
01:00:29High compatibility.
01:00:30Pass.
01:00:30You rise.
01:00:45Did he get nothing?
01:00:46Not even a spark.
01:00:47Next.
01:00:48Fail.
01:00:48It forgets you.
01:00:54Your parents were ability users.
01:00:56And what did it get them?
01:00:57They were failures.
01:00:59Disappeared 10 years ago.
01:01:01Left nothing behind.
01:01:03And now look at you.
01:01:05No ability.
01:01:07No future.
01:01:08Just like them.
01:01:21Their world is so far from mine.
01:01:25Dad.
01:01:26Mom.
01:01:27Where did you go?
01:01:54Level 3 alert.
01:01:57Evacuate immediately.
01:01:58Rift collapse on 5th and Meridian.
01:02:00Ceiling tube inbound.
01:02:07Go throw the earth extracting.
01:02:11Wait, wait.
01:02:12I'm still in here.
01:02:33Oh, no.
01:02:34Oh, no.
01:02:38Oh, no.
01:02:46I can't outrun this.
01:03:10Mom.
01:03:11Dad.
01:03:13Please.
01:03:14Help me.
01:03:34How long was I out?
01:03:43What did you do to me?
01:03:47Card draw system activated.
01:03:49Activated.
01:03:50What the?
01:03:50Who's talking?
01:03:52Who's talking?

01:04:09What is this?
01:04:10Defeat monsters.
01:04:12Draw cards.
01:04:13Grow stronger.
01:04:14I can get abilities?
01:04:16Me?
01:04:17I'm an ordinary.
01:04:19I'm an ordinary.
01:04:19This doesn't...
01:04:20Warning.

01:04:24That's the same one?

01:04:29Wait.
01:04:29Right now?
01:04:30Beginning card draw.
01:04:32Come on.
01:04:33Whatever you are, come on!
01:04:36Ability acquired.
01:04:38Flame control.
01:04:40Basic team, equip to slot one or two.
01:04:43What is this?
01:04:49It's coming.
01:04:59Back off!
01:05:10I have an ability?
01:05:12I have an ability?

01:05:53Are you an ability user?
01:05:57I don't know.
01:06:02Move.
01:06:21Owen, run!
01:06:30That's D-level ability user.
01:06:32Trained.
01:06:33Coordinated.
01:06:34Practiced.
01:06:35If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
01:06:48More abilities.
01:06:50More range.
01:06:52More.
01:06:54There.
01:06:55More.
01:06:56More.
01:06:56More.
01:07:01More.
01:07:04More.
01:07:06Let's go.
01:07:55Let's go.
01:08:36That contradicts a century of awakening biology.
01:08:40The 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.
01:08:47If 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.
01:09:01Find him.
01:09:10What are you?
01:09:19Cold Brennan?
01:09:21Who are you?
01:09:27Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office.
01:09:31The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
01:09:42Pinnacle Academy.
01:09:44You think they don't screen their applications?
01:09:47No ability. Not low. Zero.
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. Food gets cold.
01:10:18Not to prove anything.
01:10:20Not to them.
01:10:22Not to him.
01:10:25Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
01:10:28Restricted zones.
01:10:29Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
01:10:32But in those rifts, something happened in there.
01:10:35That envelope is an invitation.
01:10:36It's a door.
01:10:42I'll go.
01:10:44I'll go.
01:10:45I'll go.
01:10:48I'll go.
01:11:08No badge.
01:11:09No 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?
01:11:29What?
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.
01:11:42Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
01:11:46Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
01:11:47You looked me up.
01:11:53Your file says no ability, but 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, because this academy has to see it for itself.
01:12:14Tomorrow, the entrance exam.
01:12:17Prove your worth.
01:12:19I 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, he actually showed up.
01:12:39I told you yesterday.
01:12:40I told all of you.
01:12:42Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate, and here he is, ready 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.
01:13:16I've been doing this since I was 14.
01:13:18Your turn, Brennan.
01:13:19Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
01:13:24Big throw.
01:13:25Biggest he's got.
01:13:26You can see it coming from across the room.
01:13:29His whole body loads up before he lets go.
01:13:32One shot, he's already winded.
01:13:34That was his best, and 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.
01:13:54So, is that it?
01:13:58You have no idea what you're walking into.
01:14:01People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
01:14:04You got lucky once in some alley, and you think that makes you one of us.
01:14:07I don't think I'm one of you.
01:14:09I think I'm here to take a test.
01:14:12And you're in the way.
01:14:18Cole Brennan, it's your turn.
01:14:21Demonstrate your ability.
01:14:24Forget him.
01:14:25Forget the crowd.
01:14:27None of them matter right now.
01:14:30Reynolds knows something about Mom and Dad.
01:14:32She has to.
01:14:33And Pinnacle has D-Rag Rift access.
01:14:36That's where they were last seen.
01:14:39That's why I'm here.
01:14:40This is the only shot I've got.
01:14:42Don't blow it.
01:14:5920 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
01:15:035% of population awakened powers.
01:15:08They became the new elite.
01:15:13Everyone's life is determined by...
01:15:15The power test.
01:15:17It separates people into two classes.
01:15:19The ordinary and the elite.
01:15:22Power response confirmed.
01:15:24Elite track.
01:15:25Notify the academy.
01:15:27High compatibility.
01:15:28Pass.
01:15:28You rise.
01:15:43Did he get nothing?
01:15:44Not even a spark.
01:15:45Next.
01:15:46Fail.
01:15:46It forgets you.
01:15:48It forgets you.
01:15:52Your parents were ability users.
01:15:55And what did it get them?
01:15:56They were failures.
01:15:57Disappeared 10 years ago.
01:15:59Left nothing behind.
01:16:01And now look at you.
01:16:03No ability.
01:16:05No future.
01:16:06Just like them.
01:16:19Their world is so far from mine.
01:16:23Dad.
01:16:24Mom.
01:16:25Where did you go?
01:16:28No.
01:16:29No.
01:16:30No.
01:16:31No.
01:16:33No.
01:16:34No.
01:16:35No.
01:16:35No.
01:16:36No.
01:16:37No.
01:16:53Level 3 alert.
01:16:55Evacuate immediately.
01:16:57RIP collapse on 5th and meridian.
01:16:58Ceiling tube inbound.
01:17:05Go throw the hierdicts tracking.
01:17:09Wait, wait, I'm still in here!
01:17:31Oh no.
01:17:44I can't outrun this!
01:17:46I can't outrun this!
01:18:08Mom. Dad.
01:18:10Dad. Please. Help me.
01:18:32How long was I out?
01:18:41What did you do to me?
01:18:45Card draw system activated. Activated.
01:18:48What the? Who's talking?
01:19:05A system? What- 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?

01:19:30Come on!

01:19:38Basic team. Equip to slot one or two.
01:19:40What is this?
01:19:42What 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.
01:20:38Full.
01:20:48You're alive?
01:20:50That mark. Are you an ability user?
01:20:55I don't know.
01:21:00Move.
01:21:19Owen! Run!
01:21:21Run!
01:21:28That's D-level ability user.
01:21:31Trained. Coordinated. Practiced.
01:21:33If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
01:21:47More abilities. More range. More.
01:21:51You are.
01:21:52You are.
01:22:01You are.
01:22:04You are.
01:22:05You are.
01:22:17Ah!
01:22:18You are.
01:22:20Gotta do it.

01:23:08Director Reynolds
01:23:09You Should See This
01:23:14This Young Man
01:23:16Pull His File
01:23:18The Test Says Nothing
01:23:22The Footage Says Three
01:23:24Which One Do We Trust?
01:23:31A Civilian Demonstrating Ability?
01:23:34That Contradicts A Century Of Awakening Biology
01:23:37The Instruments Are The Reliable Variable Here
01:23:40Not Some Rift Zone Anomaly
01:23:41Three Independent Scans, Hargrave
01:23:43Then The Scans Confirmed It
01:23:44He Has No Ability
01:23:46If He Genuinely Has These Abilities
01:23:49And We Leave Him Unmonitored
01:23:50What Happens The Next Time The Rift
01:23:52Opens In A Populated Area
01:23:54Merit Is Our Standard
01:23:56Not Bloodline
01:23:58Not Test Scores
01:24:00Find Him
01:24:09What Are You?
01:24:17Coal Brennan?
01:24:20Who Are You?
01:24:25Pinnacle Academy
01:24:27Admissions Office
01:24:28The Chancellor Wants To Meet You
01:24:31Tomorrow
01:24:41Pinnacle Academy
01:24:43You Think They Don't Screen Their Applications?
01:24:46No Ability
01:24:47Not Low
01:24:49Zero
01:24:51That's What's On Your File
01:24:54They're Not Gonna Make An Exception For A Delivery Boy Because He Got Lucky Near A Rift
01:24:59Stop Staring At It
01:25:01Your Bag's Been Sitting There For 20 Minutes
01:25:04Food Gets Cold
01:25:16Not To Prove Anything
01:25:17Not To Them
01:25:20Not To Him
01:25:23Pinnacle Has Class D Rift Acts
01:25:26Restricted Zones
01:25:28Places That Don't Show Up In Any Civilian Database
01:25:30But In Those Rifts
01:25:32Something Happened In There
01:25:33That Envelope Is An Inpetition
01:25:34It's A Door
01:25:41I'll Go
01:26:06No Badge
01:26:07No Uniform Either
01:26:08Is He Ordinary?
01:26:13No Badge
01:26:15No Uniform
01:26:16What Are You Doing In Here?
01:26:17Meeting With Director Reynolds
01:26:18I'm Here To See The Director
01:26:21Reynolds?
01:26:27What?
01:26:28Did A Rift Open Near Your House?
01:26:30You Looking For Someone To Come Deal With It?
01:26:32Nobody Said I Needed A Uniform To Walk Down A Hallway
01:26:35My Grandfather Helped Build This Program
01:26:38My Dad Held The School Fire Record Until Two Years Ago
01:26:41Every Ashford Who Walked These Halls Earned Their Spot
01:26:44You Looked Me Up
01:26:51Your File Says No Ability
01:26:53But Surveillance Caught You Using Flame And Shockwave During The E3 Rift Incident
01:26:57I Didn't Know What Was Happening To Me
01:26:59I Still Don't Fully Understand It
01:27:01The Brennan Name Is In This Building's Founding Records
01:27:04I Need To Verify Your Abilities
01:27:06Not Because I Doubt What I Saw On The Footage
01:27:09Because This Academy Has To See It For Itself
01:27:13Tomorrow
01:27:13The Entrance Exam
01:27:15Prove Your Worth
01:27:17I Will
01:27:23That's The One Reynolds Let In?
01:27:26Zero On The F-Greet Assessment
01:27:28Literally Zero
01:27:29He's Not Even Wearing A Uniform
01:27:35Ladies And Gentlemen
01:27:36He Actually Showed Up
01:27:37I Told You Yesterday
01:27:39I Told All Of You
01:27:40Reynolds Let A Civilian Walk Through The Front Gate
01:27:42And Here He Is
01:27:43Ready For His Assessment
01:27:47Every Single One Of You Earned Your Spot
01:27:49Tests, Certifications, Years Of Training
01:27:51And Reynolds Just Hands This Guy A Pass
01:27:55So I Asked Reynolds To Let Me Go First Today
01:27:58Set The Bar
01:27:59Remind Everyone
01:28:00What This Place Is Actually For
01:28:11That's D-Rank Fire
01:28:12Top Of The Class
01:28:13I've Been Doing This Since I Was Fourteen
01:28:16Your Turn, Brennan
01:28:17Show Us What Reynolds Risked Her Reputation For
01:28:22Big Throw
01:28:23Biggest He's Got
01:28:24You Can See It Coming From Across The Room
01:28:27His Whole Body Loads Up Before He Let's Go
01:28:29One Shot He's Already Winded
01:28:32That Was His Best
01:28:34And He Wasted It On A Practice Dummy
01:28:39That Was Your Best Shot?
01:28:42Excuse Me?
01:28:43You Asked To Go First
01:28:45You Picked The Biggest Dummy On The Floor
01:28:48Held The Fireball An Extra Second
01:28:50So Everyone Could See
01:28:51So
01:28:53Was 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
01:29:10And You're In The Way
01:29:16Cole Brennan
01:29:18It's Your Turn
01:29:20Demonstrate Your Ability
01:29:22Forget Him
01:29:23Forget The Crowd
01:29:24None Of Them Matter Right Now
01:29:28Reynolds Knows Something About Mom And Dad
01:29:30She Has To
01:29:31And Pinnacle Has D-Rank Rift Access
01:29:34That's Where They Were Last Seen
01:29:37That's Why I'm Here
01:29:38This Is The Only Shot I've Got
01:29:40Don't Blow It
01:29:51You
01:29:51But It's The Onlyhomme
01:29:52You
01:29:53To
