00:00You five will be today's first test group.
00:03Not everyone survives this test.
00:05May God have mercy on your souls.
00:12But I don't even know what my abilities are.
00:22Oh, watch out, Talon!
00:23Don't die tripping over yourself.
00:25My name is Quinn Talon. I'm 16 years old.
00:28Like so many others, I hate school.
00:31But it's not because I hate studying or anything like that.
00:33Or better yet, maybe do us all the favor and die.
00:40It's because of situations like these.
00:44Just shut up, Jon.
00:46I bet you don't even know how many fingers this is.
00:49Yeah, maybe I should have just ignored those stupid comments.
00:57How dare you, you level one piece of crap.
01:01When are you going to learn?
01:03You don't belong in this world.
01:06But I really can't help myself.
01:09I should be used to the bullying by now.
01:12I just thought they'd ease up on the last day of school.
01:17But maybe this will be the thing that finally sets things right.
01:25I'm sorry.
01:26I'm sorry.
01:27I'm sorry.
01:28I'm sorry.
01:29I'm sorry.
01:30I'm sorry.
01:31I'm sorry.
01:32I'm sorry.
01:33I'm sorry.
01:34I'm sorry.
01:35I'm sorry.
01:36I'm sorry.
01:37I'm sorry.
01:39I'm sorry.
01:46The tenuous peace treaty with the Dahlke race is set to expire at the end of next month.
01:50This crappy apartment was assigned to me by the government after my parents died in the war.
01:59Quinn!
02:02Quinn!
02:03Quinn!
02:07Protect this at all cost.
02:13One day it will change your life.
02:22Mom.
02:25Mom.
02:27Mom!
02:30Mom!
02:33Aliens burned the world.
02:34Killed my family.
02:35And all I got was this book.
02:37A book that has proven impossible to open.
02:40But I keep trying.
02:42My parents must have left it to me for a reason.
02:49Okay.
02:50Test 112.
02:52Hydrochloric acid.
02:54Here's to hoping.
03:01Okay.
03:03No reaction yet.
03:04Okay, hang on.
03:10I mean, this is pointless.
03:12I mean, I don't know why I keep trying.
03:14I don't want my parents to have this stupid piece of garbage.
03:28What the hell is happening?
03:30Congratulations.
03:32Granted the vampire system.
03:36Initiating startup sequence.
03:38Hello?
03:39Calibrating new user interface.
03:41Who's there?
03:42Show yourself!
03:43Readying user for data upload.
03:46What the hell?
04:00What happened last night?
04:08There's no way.
04:10I can see the whole room.
04:12How?
04:13Was it the book?
04:14It's gone.
04:15Think, Quinn.
04:16Try to remember what happened.
04:19Menu, menu.
04:21Main menu.
04:24Who said that?
04:27What is all this?
04:29This thing.
04:30It's controlled by my thoughts?
04:33A skills tab?
04:35It's like one of those old game systems.
04:37Did this come from the book?
04:38Ability books can be absorbed for additional XP.
04:41Skill systems.
04:44So the book my parents gave me actually does work.
04:49Yes!
04:50Okay.
04:51Okay.
04:52Okay.
04:56Water bending.
04:58Wind power.
04:59Psychic power.
05:01Lightning!
05:04Okay.
05:05So this is all I get?
05:06A glorified user interface?
05:08Systems are often disregarded as simple computers.
05:11But with the right user, they can become quite powerful once leveled up.
05:15How do I level up?
05:18Drink two liters of water.
05:21Two liters for five XP, huh?
05:24Well, how hard can that be?
05:32My stomach feels like it's going to burst.
05:35Challenge complete.
05:36Five experience points awarded.
05:39At least I know the system works now.
05:41Hopefully if I keep doing quests, I'll level up and get stronger.
05:49Quintel.
05:50Yeah?
05:51Shuttle's been waiting outside for five minutes already.
05:53What shuttle?
05:54Don't play dumb with me, boy.
05:56It's draft day.
05:57It's time for you to go to military school.
06:00Oh, that's right.
06:01How could I forget?
06:03The war with the Daoki wiped out most of the population.
06:08Because of this, every student age 16 was required to attend military school for two years.
06:20The ones that survived, at least.
06:23The ones that survived, at least.
06:34What a relief.
06:35That was torture.
06:36Keep moving, recruit.
06:38At least it looks like no one from school is on this bus.
06:41Empty seat.
06:43Handy.
06:48Hmm.
06:49Keyword.
06:50Direct sunlight.
06:53Another quest.
06:54At least this one looks easy.
06:55Buckle up.
06:56Hey.
06:57How long do you think this bus ride's gonna take?
06:59I don't know.
07:00Quiet!
07:02I wonder what life will be like here.
07:07Warning.
07:08A foreign substance has been detected.
07:10Activating oxygen reserves.
07:12What?
07:13Is something going on?
07:15Your resistance to the substance has increased.
07:17Approximately 30 seconds of consciousness remaining.
07:23I have got to get out of here.
07:27Don't fight, son.
07:29Don't talk.
07:36What the hell?
07:40Welcome to the Academy.
07:41You'll spend the next two years of your miserable lives here.
07:44So you better get used to it.
07:47Placed on your wrist is a lifeline.
07:49It identifies you as a student here at the Academy.
07:52It also allows you access to certain areas.
07:54Daily rations.
07:56Libations.
07:57And all sorts of amenities.
07:59Most importantly, it'll keep you from leaving.
08:02Ever seen someone out on the street with a missing hand?
08:05That's the mark of a deserter.
08:07Once you've been tested, it will display a number representing your corresponding power level.
08:12I think I can get at least a five.
08:14What?
08:15I heard no one's got a five.
08:18What?
08:19I heard no one's gotten higher than five on their first try.
08:21Well, except for original descendants.
08:23What's this angle?
08:25No one this cool was ever this nice to me at school.
08:28You know, people who don't need ability books to get their powers are just innate.
08:31I know what an original is.
08:33Okay, hotshot. I'm just making conversation.
08:36Vordenblade.
08:38Quinn. Talon.
08:40Use of foreign ability detected.
08:42Ability attempt blocked.
08:44Ability blocked?
08:46What did you say your ability was again?
08:48First testing group.
08:50Quinn Talon. Peter Chuck.
08:52Hide me.
08:53Just calm down.
08:54Vordenblade. Layla Munroe.
08:56Let's hurry this up.
08:58And Aaron Ellie.
09:00Finally.
09:01You five will be today's first testing group.
09:05They're testing everyone's abilities?
09:11Not everyone survives this test.
09:13May God have mercy on your souls.
09:16But I don't even know what my abilities are.
09:22Warning. Your health points are at a critical low.
09:24Taking additional bleeding damage.
09:26But maybe this will be the thing that finally sets things right.
09:30Will Quinn be able to pass the ability test?
