00:00:0220 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:00:085% of population awakened powers.
00:00:11They became the new Elite.
00:00:16Everyone's life is determined by...
00:00:19The Power Test.
00:00:20It separates people into two classes.
00:00:23The Ordinary and the Elite.
00:00:26Power response confirmed.
00:00:28Elite track.
00:00:29Notify the Academy.
00:00:30High compatibility.
00:00:31Pass.
00:00:32You rise.
00:00:46Did he get nothing?
00:00:48Not even a spark.
00:00:49Next.
00:00:49Fail.
00:00:50It forgets you.
00:00:56Your parents were ability users, and what did it get them?
00:00:59They were failures.
00:01:01Disappeared 10 years ago.
00:01:03Left nothing behind.
00:01:05And now look at you.
00:01:06You.
00:01:07No ability.
00:01:08No future.
00:01:10Just like them.
00:01:23Were they every day.
00:01:23Their world..
00:01:24Is so far from mine.
00:01:27Dad...
00:01:27Mom...
00:01:28Where did you go?
00:01:56Level 3 Alert

00:02:13Wait, wait, I'm still in here
00:02:34Oh no
00:02:35I can't outrun this
00:03:11Mom, Dad
00:03:14Please, help me
00:03:35How long was I out?
00:03:44What did you do to me?
00:03:48Card draw system activated
00:03:50What the? Who's talking?
00:04:09A system? What is this?
00:04:12Defeat monsters
00:04:13Draw cards
00:04:14Draw stronger
00:04:16I can get abilities? Me?
00:04:19I'm an ordinary
00:04:20This doesn't
00:04:21Warning
00:04:22Hostile entity detected
00:04:2420 meters
00:04:25That's the same one?
00:04:28First awakening protocol
00:04:30Wait, right now?
00:04:31Beginning card draw
00:04:33Come on

00:04:44What is this?
00:04:51It's coming
00:05:00Back off
00:05:12I have an ability?
00:05:21Kill confirmed

00:05:41Full
00:05:51You're alive?
00:05:54That mark
00:05:54Are you an ability user?
00:05:59I don't know
00:06:04Move
00:06:23Owey, run
00:06:32That's D-level ability user
00:06:34Trained
00:06:34Coordinated
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
00:06:54Let's go.
00:07:26Let's go.
00:07:54Two of two.
00:07:55Three abilities.
00:07:56Two slots.
00:07:59Two of two.
00:08:11Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:08:18This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says three. Which one
00:08:29do we trust?
00:08:35A civilian demonstrating ability? That contradicts a century of awakening biology. The instruments
00:08:42are the reliable variable here, not some rift zone anomaly.
00:08:45Three independent scans, Hargrave.
00:08:47Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
00:08:50If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time
00:08:55the rift opens in a populated area? Merit is our standard. Not bloodline. Not test scores.
00:09:03Find him.
00:09:12What are you?
00:09:21Cole Brennan?
00:09:23Who are you?
00:09:29Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office. The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
00:09:44Pinnacle Academy. You think they don't screen their applications? No ability. Not low. Zero.
00:09:55That's what's on your file. They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because
00:10:01he got lucky near a rift. Stop staring at it. Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
00:10:08Food gets cold.
00:10:19Not to prove anything. Not to them. Not to him.
00:10:27Pinnacle has Class D rift acts. Restricted zones. Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:10:34In those rifts, something happened in there. That envelope is an invitation. It's a door.
00:10:44I'll go.
00:11:10No badge. No uniform either.
00:11:12Is he ordinary?
00:11:17No badge. No uniform. What are you doing in here?
00:11:21Meeting with Director Reynolds. I'm here to see the director.
00:11:25Reynolds?
00:11:30What? Did a rift open near your house? You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:11:36Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway. My grandfather helped build this
00:11:40program. My dad held the school fire record until two years ago. Every Ashford who walked
00:11:46these halls earned their spot. You looked me up.
00:11:54Your file says no ability, but surveillance caught you using flame and shockwave during
00:11:59the E3 rift incident.
00:12:00I didn't know what was happening to me. I still don't fully understand it.
00:12:05The Brennan name is in this building's founding records. I need to verify your abilities. Not
00:12:11because I doubt what I saw on the footage, because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:12:16Tomorrow. The entrance exam. Prove your worth.
00:12:21I will.
00:12:27That's the one Reynolds let in? Zero on the F-Greed assessment. Literally zero.
00:12:33He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:12:38Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up. I told you yesterday. I told all of you.
00:12:44Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate, and here he is, ready for his assessment.
00:12:51Every single one of you earned your spot. Tests, certifications, years of training.
00:12:56And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass. So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
00:13:02Set the bar. Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
00:13:14That's D-rank fire. Top of the class. I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:13:19Your turn, Brennan. Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:13:25Big throw. Biggest he's got. You can see it coming from across the room. His whole body loads up before
00:13:32he lets go.
00:13:33One shot, he's already winded. That was his best, and he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:13:43That was your best shot?
00:13:46Excuse me?
00:13:47You asked to go first. You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
00:13:52Held the fireball an extra second, so 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.
00:14:06You 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, and you're in the way.
00:14:20Cole Brennan, it's your turn. Demonstrate your ability.
00:14:26Forget him. Forget the crowd. None of them matter right now.
00:14:31Reynolds knows something about Mom and Dad. She has to.
00:14:35And Pinnacle has D-Rag Rift access. That's where they were last seen.
00:14:40That's why I'm here. This is the only shot I've got. Don't blow it.
00:14:52My Academy Fire record was set at 14.
00:14:55My father held the school record before that, and you're showing me that?
00:14:59Guess we'll see.
00:15:01Standard duel. Begin.
00:15:03Good. A public fight. Everyone watched me.
00:15:06If I win this, nobody has to. I can't find it.
00:15:25D-rank fire at that output?
00:15:28This needs to be called.
00:15:30Watch.
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. That's all I need.
00:16:01You got lucky. That'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.
00:16:19Two 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. Interesting.
00:17:01Pure force with no control is useless.
00:17:04Derek fought for his pride, his rank, his name.
00:17:07I'm not here for any of that.
00:17:10Cole Brennan. Enrolled.
00:17:13This is not an outcome this institution can accept.
00:17:16We have thresholds.
00:17:19Ability requirements that exist for a reason.
00:17:22An unregistered ordinary person in a live combat curriculum is a liability to every student in this building.
00:17:27He 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.
00:17:35Neither did Price.
00:17:36This academy has one standard.
00:17:38Can they perform?
00:17:39F rank access.
00:17:40That's the first door.
00:17:41Behind that, E rank.
00:17:43Then D.
00:17:44D rank is where mom and dad disappeared.
00:17:46I 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.
00:18:07Next.
00:18:08Zero.
00:18:09Not low.
00:18:09Zero.
00:18:10You know what that means, right?
00:18:12It 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.
00:18:43And now your hands won't stop.
00:18:44I still don't know what you are.
00:18:47But 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.
00:19:13Hey, you lost?
00:19:15Cafeterio staff entrance is on the south side.
00:19:17You think he cheated?
00:19:18Has to be.
00:19:20No 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.
00:19:36Coal.
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.
00:19:53I'm not sure.
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.
00:20:11You're burning through the practice surface.
00:20:13Sorry.
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.
00:20:43Your score will be calculated by your team's kill counts.
00:20:49Alex.
00:20:50Fire support.
00:20:52Marcus.
00:20:53Shield coverage.
00:20:54Jenny.
00:20:55Speed.
00:20:56Lily.
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.
00:21:06Follow the algorithm.
00:21:07We clear the field.
00:21:09Wow.
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 permittable.
00:21:34All students must participate.
00:21:36Going in alone?
00:21:38Good luck out there.
00:21:39Ordinary.
00:21:41I was going in alone either way.
00:21:43That's so.
00:21:50Northeast corner.
00:21:51Higher concentration.
00:21:53Right move.
00:21:54Two abilities.
00:21:56One weak.
00:21:57I really hope that's enough.
00:22:10We'll see you next time.
00:22:10We'll see you next time.
00:22:12We'll see you next time.
00:22:13We'll see you next time.
00:22:14We'll see you next time.
00:22:14We'll see you next time.
00:22:14We'll see you next time.
00:22:14We'll see you next time.
00:22:16We'll see you next time.
00:22:16We'll see you next time.
00:22:17We'll see you next time.
00:22:18We'll see you next time.
00:22:18We'll see you next time.
00:22:18We'll see you next time.
00:22:18We'll see you next time.
00:22:20We'll see you next time.
00:22:21We'll see you next time.
00:22:24We'll see you next time.
00:22:33Good. Less noise. I can finally focus on the killing.
00:23:24Kill confirmed.
00:23:26Card draw initiating. Windblade. Shockwave opens it. Flame closes it. Not the other way around.
00:23:44Kill 14 confirmed.
00:24:03Current collection. Five abilities. Slots. Two of two. Five. First time I'm choosing my own
00:24:10fight. Not reacting. Choose it. Five cards. Two hands. That's the game.
00:24:30Yeah, I know, right?
00:24:32Dude, I got this new gun. It's sick.
00:24:34I can't believe we did that.
00:24:36Ten confirmed. Sector 2, Northeast Quarter. Clean sweep.
00:24:54Alpha team. Derek Ashford. Ten confirmed kills.
00:24:57Derek Ashford team. Ten confirmed. All teams, report to the command center.
00:25:09North East sector, right? Yeah. Tags registered at 41 separate positions. That's... a lot of ground.
00:25:17That can't... that can't be right. Cole Brannon. Solo operation. 30 confirmed kills.
00:25:35That's... not possible. Our family AI calculated the physical ceiling.
00:25:3922 kills. Maximum. 30. Solo alone? That breaks the model.
00:25:46Wow. Just enough. So that multi-million supercomputer of yours can't keep up with a delivery guy's muscle memory?
00:25:53System glitch prints?
00:26:08Well done.
00:26:19The surveillance feed for the Northeast sector
00:26:22Covers 40 minutes of active expedition time. We are requesting a full review under Chapter 7.
00:26:371 kills. 7 kills. 15 kills. 22 kills. 30 kills.
00:26:46Feed 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.
00:27:13Rank 20. E-rank access is next. E-rank accessed. 5 kills in tomorrow course. Okay. 5 more.
00:27:24GO!
00:27:33How does that help?
00:27:35The quedat!
00:27:41What was that route?
00:27:41This evil night is in the terrain.
00:27:41The seventeenth training technique.
00:27:42The murder.
00:27:43The enemy Crusade andlaxis.
00:27:43The enemy Crusade is now.
00:27:43The enemy Crusade has been in there.
00:27:44The enemy Crusade has been in there with...
00:27:47The enemy Crusade has been damaged.
00:27:49The enemy Crusade has been executed.
00:27:508 total. I got 4, which is fine for E-Rank. Earth Tremors don't stack kills fast, but you were
00:27:56solo,
00:27:56and you got 30. What route did you run? Northeast Sector. Boundary Zone. The Boundary Zone?
00:28:04Most teams avoid it because... Wait, that's exactly why you went there.
00:28:14You drew out a kill route, didn't you? After the briefing, when everyone left,
00:28:18sat there and mapped it. Yeah, that's insane. That's also kind of brilliant.
00:28:28Also, I'm just going to say this. The ordinary thing? I don't care. You've got abilities,
00:28:33you're in the school. What's the argument? Apparently several. Derek can argue with
00:28:38the ranking board. Thank you. There it is. Knew you weren't a robot. I'm not a robot. You walk
00:28:46like one. I'm just saying, you know what? Exact foot placement. Every step. That's not completely
00:28:54like a robot.
00:29:00Training tomorrow. You want to run drills? I want to see what you actually do with the
00:29:04flame shockwave combo. Sure. I've spent every day here running the math on every conversation.
00:29:14What they want. What it costs me. But I think I've just made my first friend here.
00:29:25Wait. Three? I've got three now.
00:29:32Jake. Jake. Get there early.
00:29:37Okay. I've been thinking about this since yesterday. Show me the combo.
00:29:41Good morning. Morning.
00:29:44Show me the combo. You haven't even warmed up.
00:29:47I warmed up thinking about this. Show me.
00:29:51Hmph.
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?
00:30:24I planned fire and ice. Not this.
00:30:28If this hits something that can dodge fire but not ice. Or the other way around.
00:30:33It can't dodge both.
00:30:35You need to be on my team. For every expedition from now on.
00:30:39Take this!
00:30:55This morning I had a ceiling. Two slots. Eight combinations. I knew every angle. Now I don't know what this
00:31:01can do yet. That's... different.
00:31:05It's different. You ever stop calculating? Not really. Must be exhausting. It's useful. Fair.
00:31:19There's a fourth slot ahead. I'm going to need it.
00:31:31E-Rank Rift Access Granted.
00:31:35Let's go.
00:31:36You sure? E-Rank... E-Rank Earth. I'm literally named for this. You're F-Rank Earth that does E-Rank
00:31:42damage sometimes.
00:31:43Same thing.
00:32:01Three slots. First time I've had them all loaded going into something real.
00:32:04Something's tracking us. Picked us up about 30 meters back.
00:32:23That would have killed three F-Rakes. It's E-Rank.
00:32:27Two slots.
00:32:34Two slots.
00:32:37Three slots.
00:32:47One slot.
00:32:52Two slots.
00:32:53Eight slots.
00:32:54Six slots.
00:33:10Jake!
00:33:27That's different.
00:33:29That was... yeah.
00:33:32We come back with a better plan.
00:33:34Maybe 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, it's not enough.
00:33:47I need what's deeper in there.
00:33:50I'll be here when you get back.
00:33:52Three abilities.
00:33:54All three in a real fight.
00:33:56Not 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.
00:34:36Alright.
00:34:37Oh, let's go.
00:34:38Hey.
00:34:38No.
00:34:39Oh my God.
00:34:40Oh my God.
00:34:45Oh.
00:34:58Kills confirmed, card draws initiating, support ability acquired.
00:35:04Common draw, not what I need.
00:35:07Keep going.
00:35:24That's the boss.
00:35:35I don't know if flame cuts through that or just disappears into it.
00:35:43Mom, I'm coming.
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 initiating.
00:37:07Ability acquired, lightning storm.
00:37:11Advanced tier.
00:37:12Slot configuration available.
00:37:16Partial match detected.
00:37:18Name, Brennan.
00:37:19Brennan.
00:37:20That is my name.
00:37:24That is my family's name.
00:37:25They were here.
00:37:26Not nearby.
00:37:28Here.
00:37:29In this rift.
00:37:31Ten years ago.
00:37:32I'm not looking for them anymore.
00:37:34I know where to look.
00:37:36What happened?
00:37:37I got lightning storm.
00:38:00It's just rankings, Derek.
00:38:02One month, he scored zero on the ability test.
00:38:05He delivered food for a living.
00:38:07No family legacy.
00:38:08No registered ability rank.
00:38:10No documented training history.
00:38:11No!
00:38:13How does rank 12 make sense?
00:38:21Everything okay?
00:38:23Yeah.
00:38:26The family has been tracking the anomaly.
00:38:29An unregistered ordinary at rank 12, after four months, using abilities with no documented
00:38:34training history and no ability rec on file.
00:38:36This is not a student.
00:38:38This is unquantifiable data in a system built on quantifiable outcomes.
00:38:43Unquantifiable data disrupts capital allocation.
00:38:45When investors cannot model the variable, they remove the variable.
00:38:49This is not personal, Derek.
00:38:51This is how the system protects itself.
00:38:53I understand.
00:39:04Three slots.
00:39:05It's still weird having three.
00:39:30Monster eliminated.
00:39:34Card draw available.
00:39:47You took rank 12 from me.
00:39:49You've taken everything.
00:39:52This ends here.
00:39:54Same slot.
00:39:55Same sector.
00:39:56This was planned.
00:40:00Derek.
00:40:10Every time you win, it's luck.
00:40:14A trick.
00:40:16You're ordinary.
00:40:18You want to fight?
00:40:19Fine.
00:40:25He's reddit.
00:40:27Good.
00:40:34What?
00:40:35That's...
00:40:36You have lightning storm?
00:40:39I earned it.
00:40:53What?
00:41:03Don't follow me into rifts again.
00:41:06How?
00:41:07How do you get that power?
00:41:09I'm not here for you, Derek.
00:41:10I never was.
00:41:30Top ten.
00:41:31Cole, you're in the top ten!
00:41:32I saw it.
00:41:33Rank ten.
00:41:34I also saw rank eight.
00:41:36Who's at eight?
00:41:38Madison Frost.
00:41:39They call her the Ice Queen.
00:41:41She's been rank eight since she enrolled.
00:41:43Nobody's touched her.
00:41:45Nobody challenges Madison.
00:41:46Rank ten.
00:41:47I've been watching your ascent.
00:41:49You're systematic.
00:41:50That's unusual for someone without an ability history.
00:41:53Monthly ranking challenge is permitted above rank 15.
00:41:56You could challenge rank eight.
00:41:57When?
00:41:58Tomorrow.
00:41:59Arena three.
00:42:01She didn't come to rattle me.
00:42:03She came to schedule me.
00:42:05That's the difference.
00:42:06She approached you?
00:42:07She's rank eight.
00:42:08Why would she bother?
00:42:11She wants to know what I am.
00:42:12That's creepy.
00:42:14Also terrifying.
00:42:15Okay.
00:42:15What are you actually going to do?
00:42:17She's frost type.
00:42:18She controls the whole arena.
00:42:20Frost abilities lock down mobility.
00:42:21She'll expect me to run flame into her domain.
00:42:23She'll have counters ready.
00:42:24So don't run flame.
00:42:28I didn't say that.
00:42:29How many hidden cards do you have?
00:42:33You're going to be fine.
00:42:34Also, you're a little scary.
00:42:46She doesn't look angry.
00:42:48That's the problem.
00:42:57This is my range.
00:42:59Everything inside it is ice.
00:43:06She's reading my loadout in real time.
00:43:09Smart.
00:43:21You have strong combinetics, but fire doesn't function well at this temperature.
00:43:26The base tier can't keep pace with the regeneration rate.
00:43:28Your fire is base tier.
00:43:30Advanced lightning storm genuinely impressive for an ordinary, but I've fought three slot users before.
00:43:36The math doesn't change.
00:43:37More combinations, same ceiling.
00:43:43She's right about the ceiling.
00:43:45Time to meet her.
00:43:48That's enough.
00:43:54What are you...
00:43:55That heat level.
00:43:57That is an upgraded fire plasma tier.
00:44:00You've had this the entire fight.
00:44:01I had it.
00:44:02I hadn't needed it.
00:44:07Winner, Cole Brannan.
00:44:09Plasma Storm, where did you get that?
00:44:11Same place I got the rest.
00:44:12Fought for it.
00:44:13Rank 8 is yours.
00:44:17Dude, what was that?
00:44:21It's not fire anymore.
00:44:23It's something else.
00:44:43I've been thinking about this moment for months.
00:44:45Now that it's here, it just feels real.
00:44:49System upgrade.
00:44:50Ability slot 4 unlocked.
00:44:55There it is.
00:45:05The fourth slot changes the timing windows.
00:45:27You look like someone doing math homework, except the homework explodes.
00:45:31How many abilities do you actually have now?
00:45:37A lot, then.
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.
00:46:06That'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.
00:46:18That was either very smart or very dumb.
00:46:21Probably both.
00:46:51Good.
00:46:52I'll try not to end it.
00:46:55I don't know.
00:46:56I'll try not.
00:46:57I'll try not.
00:46:59I'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.
00:47:29Put her where the fight comes to her, not where she has to chase it.
00:47:32Derek, left side suppression.
00:47:34Madison, right side defense.
00:47:35Jake flanks when they overcommit.
00:47:40Why are you calling positions?
00:47:42You're not the captain.
00:47:43We don't have a designated captain.
00:47:45Then I'm captain.
00:47:52I've watched all three of tomorrow's opponent's bracket footage.
00:47:56Have you?
00:47:57You've never done team combat.
00:47:59Why should your formation work?
00:48:01I'm not taking orders from an ordinary.
00:48:04Then take suggestions from someone who did the homework.
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 won.
00:48:49We got lucky.
00:48:50Next round, that won't be enough.
00:48:52He's not listening.
00:48:53Every time I call a direction, he goes the opposite just to show me he doesn't have to.
00:48:57We cannot go into a Central Academy team fight like this.
00:49:09Same 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.
00:49:16If we let them set up, we're playing defense the whole match.
00:49:23I'll handle-
00:49:23You can't handle both shield rotations solo.
00:49:25Unwin, none of us can.
00:49:26That's the point.
00:49:27I'll improvise.
00:49:45I'm out.
00:49:59One more loss and we're out.
00:50:01Third match is Central Academy.
00:50:03Brandon's team.
00:50:06Cole's formation had answers for what Western just did.
00:50:08We didn't use it.
00:50:10She's right.
00:50:11Cole, how did you clock the shield rotation three days ago?
00:50:15Before we'd even seen their footage.
00:50:17I cross-referenced their last four matches.
00:50:20The second shoulder always comes in on a four-second delay.
00:50:23It's drilled, not reactive.
00:50:25Cole had it.
00:50:26He had it three days ago.
00:50:27He covered my retreat.
00:50:29He saw their targeting pattern before I did.
00:50:32I don't like it.
00:50:33You don't have to like it.
00:50:35The relay runner-
00:50:37In their pattern.
00:50:39That was the break point.
00:50:40Yes.
00:50:41You saw that.
00:50:42In the footage.
00:50:43Third match, Northern Region Qualifier.
00:50:47What's the formation for Central Academy?
00:50:50Five-person rotation.
00:50:51Sophia anchors center.
00:50:53You pressure their left from distance.
00:50:55Don't close.
00:50:55Madison holds the right corridor.
00:50:58Jake runs interference on their relay runner.
00:51:00I connect the zones.
00:51:02He's not convinced I'm right.
00:51:03He just ran out of ways to prove I'm wrong.
00:51:05That's enough.
00:51:07We can work with that.
00:51:17Central Academy's secondary squad.
00:51:20Three of last year's semi-finalists.
00:51:22Pinnacle hasn't won a Gaganzral in six years.
00:51:26Derek, hold fire until you see the left relay break.
00:51:29Not before.
00:51:30I know.
00:51:31What about me?
00:51:32You're fastest.
00:51:33Chase the relay runner.
00:51:34Don't let them anchor their rotations.
00:51:37Easy.
00:51:38Nothing about this is easy.
00:51:39Already planned.
00:51:44Now!
00:52:09Jake, now!
00:52:21There it is.
00:52:23Two seconds.
00:52:24That's your limit.
00:52:25I'll take it.
00:52:26Good call on the relay runner.
00:52:28We actually...
00:52:29Yeah.
00:52:30We got it.
00:52:31That's...
00:52:31I didn't know it would feel like that.
00:52:34Decent team win.
00:52:35But team fights are formations.
00:52:37Solo is different.
00:52:39I watched the footage.
00:52:41So did my coaching staff.
00:52:43They didn't see what you saw.
00:52:46Semi-finals.
00:52:47See you there.
00:52:50B-rank fire.
00:52:52Fire domain.
00:52:5316 tournament fights.
00:52:5415 wins.
00:52:55The one loss was a draw.
00:52:56Technical.
00:52:57He's never been stopped.
00:52:58I need something he has no footage on.
00:53:00I need all four slots in a sequence that doesn't exist in any match record.
00:53:03I need to invent it before Thursday.
00:53:12Okay, I looked him up.
00:53:14B-rank fire.
00:53:15That means his output's at, what, three, four times what Madison had?
00:53:19About three.
00:53:20So your ice thing?
00:53:21Won't reach him.
00:53:22Gone before it gets there.
00:53:23Which version do you think he'll use?
00:53:26The one that looks like he's going easy on me.
00:53:28Every ability he has is built to end a fight fast.
00:53:31He doesn't play defense because he's never needed to.
00:53:37I think there's a seam.
00:53:39I just don't know what it looks like yet.
00:53:43Brandon!
00:53:45Brandon!
00:53:46Brandon!
00:53:47Brandon!
00:53:49I'll try not to end it too fast.
00:53:51Semi-final.
00:53:52Special recruit Cole Brannon.
00:53:54No registered rank.
00:53:56Versus two-time champion Brandon Chase.
00:53:59B-rank fire specialist.
00:54:24You've got one slot left that you haven't shown me.
00:54:27I've been counting.
00:54:28Whatever it is, it's not going to be enough.
00:54:31But I'm genuinely curious what you pull out.
00:54:34One slot left.
00:54:36Make it count.
00:54:45Whatever the last slot is, I'd like to see it.
00:54:50Come on, Cole.
00:55:02Five.
00:55:03Five.
00:55:06Five.
00:55:09Five.
00:55:09Five.
00:55:09Five.
00:55:10Five.
00:55:10Five.
00:55:11Five.
00:55:12Five.
00:55:13Five.
00:55:13Five.
00:55:15Five.
00:55:17Five.
00:55:25Legendary Tier
00:55:31Brandon Chase unable to continue
00:55:33Winner Cole Brennan
00:55:35Legendary Tier
00:55:36Five Splots
00:55:38How are you ordinary?
00:55:40I'm not sure ordinary was ever the right word
00:55:42No
00:55:43I don't think it was
00:55:53That's what five feels like
00:55:54All of it at once
00:55:57Tomorrow's a different problem
00:55:58You're crazy!
00:56:03You're crazy!
00:56:09Brandon had no answer for the five ability sequence
00:56:12Nobody's going to
00:56:13Sophia 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
00:56:21I don't know what to do with that
00:56:31I forfeit
00:56:38Okay then
00:56:39D rank access
00:56:41That's what's on the other side of tomorrow
00:56:45Not the trophy
00:56:47Not the title
00:56:49The door
00:56:52You okay?
00:56:54Yeah
00:56:55Yeah
00:56:57Liar
00:56:59She finished her semi-final in 90 seconds
00:57:01Telekinesis 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
00:57:33The environment control is earlier than I can counter with sequencing alone
00:57:37Is that a problem?
00:57:39I'm working on it
00:57:41You promised
00:57:42If 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
00:58:11Zero rank to the championship round
00:58:12And Sophia Vale
00:58:13Pinnacle's first seed
00:58:14C-ranked telekinesis
00:58:16Five-year undefeated record
00:58:17Full ability use is permitted
00:58:19Ready?
00:58:20Ready
00:58:20Yes
00:58:37She's adjusting to his combinations in real time
00:58:40First opponent all tournament who can do that to her
00:58:44You really did figure out answers to my answers
00:58:47Some of them
00:58:48Let me show you the ones you didn't
00:58:53In here
00:58:54I move everything
00:58:56You move yourself
00:59:03She's faster than I thought
00:59:05Every time I clear a path
00:59:06She's already built the next wall
00:59:07Too many vectors
00:59:09Need to change the equation
00:59:10You're the strongest person I've fought
00:59:12I mean that
00:59:14But I'm not done
00:59:16Stop
00:59:16You can't break this
00:59:21Dad
00:59:22Mom
00:59:23Not yet
00:59:25Everything
00:59:26Now
00:59:28Not enough
00:59:44Then let's finish it
00:59:52Yeah
00:59:52Yeah
01:00:01I can't
01:00:03I can't
01:00:03I'm done
01:00:04Winner
01:00:05Cole Brennanen
01:00:06Champion
01:00:12You won
01:00:15You're the strongest
01:00:16You're the strongest I've ever fought
01:00:19Does the promise still stand
01:00:21About the secret
01:00:25Power doesn't care where you come from
01:00:27But today
01:00:28It chose you
01:00:29D-rank rift access
01:00:31Effective immediate
01:00:32Champion
01:00:33Okay
01:00:34But that's not why I'm here
01:00:36D-rank opens tomorrow
01:00:38That's what matters
01:00:50You earned it
01:00:51So did you
01:00:51This season
01:00:57I was stuck in a cage for so long
01:01:00Cole
01:01:01You ripped the door off the hinges
01:01:03And showed me the possibilities
01:01:04In D-rank rifts nobody wins
01:01:06It might be a one way trip
01:01:10Then at least we'll have the best view
01:01:15Yo
01:01:16If the plan is save the world
01:01:17Or get expelled
01:01:18Can we start by getting me some help with these
01:01:20My back is literally screaming right now
01:01:24Did you pack the entire cafeteria, Jake?
