Short filmTranscript
00:00Every kid at school who has bullied me and made fun of me, I will take revenge on all of them.
00:05But first, it is crucial that I open this book. It's my one shot at answers.
00:15Okay, so far no reaction.
00:20I don't know why I keep trying.
00:22Damn it. It's like my parents wanted to taunt me with an ability book from beyond the grave.
00:31They could have at least left instructions.
00:36What the hell is happening?
00:37Congratulations, you have been granted the vampire system.
00:41Hello?
00:58Upload complete.
01:02Ugh, what happened last night?
01:05Wait, no way. I can see the whole room? How?
01:16Was it the book? It's gone.
01:20Think, Quinn. Try to remember what happened.
01:22Menu, menu, menu.
01:24Main menu.
01:26Who said that?
01:28What is all this?
01:31This thing, it's controlled by my thoughts?
01:36A skills tab?
01:37Oh, it's like one of those old gaming systems.
01:40Did this come from the book?
01:41Ability books can be absorbed for additional XP.
01:45So my parents did leave me an ability book.
01:55But I don't feel any different.
01:58It just seems like an old gaming interface.
02:01Okay, if you're a computer, do you have any information about my parents?
02:05Systems are often disregarded as simple computers.
02:09But with the right user, they can become quite powerful once leveled up.
02:14Cool, I'll play your game.
02:17So how do I level up?
02:18Drink two liters of water.
02:22Two liters for five XP, that's it?
02:26I can definitely do that.
02:32My stomach feels like it's gonna burst.
02:35Challenge complete.
02:37Five experience points awarded.
02:38At least I know this system works now.
02:41Hopefully, if I keep doing quests, I'll level up and get stronger.
02:46Quintalan?
02:48Hello.
02:49We've been waiting outside five minutes already.
02:51What?
02:52Don't play dumb with me.
02:54It's draft day, boy.
02:56Time for you to head to military school.
02:58That's right.
02:59How could I forget?
03:00The war with the Dalqi wiped out most of the population.
03:04Now, like every student age 16, I'm required to attend military school for two years.
03:10No one expects the peace deal with the Dalqi to last.
03:14Neither do I.
03:15It's so bright.
03:18What's happening to me?
03:20You okay, son?
03:22You're not gonna try to run, are you?
03:24Your stats are being reduced to 50% during exposure.
03:27Please seek immediate shelter from direct sunlight.
03:30I'm weaker in sunlight now?
03:32What kind of drawback is this?
03:38Keep it moving, recruit.
03:40Sorry.
03:41Sorry.
03:42You are no longer in direct sunlight.
03:45Stats have returned to normal.
03:48What a relief.
03:50That was torture.
03:52When is the shuttle arriving?
03:54ETA 11 minutes.
03:56Keep it quiet.
03:58Keyword, direct sunlight.
04:02Another quest.
04:04At least this one's easy.
04:05I wonder what the military academy is gonna be like.
04:07Yeah, me too.
04:08Quiet!
04:09Whatever it's like, it's probably better than school.
04:14Warning.
04:15A foreign substance has been detected.
04:17Activating oxygen reserves.
04:20What?
04:20Your resistance to the substance has increased.
04:23Approximately 30 seconds of consciousness remaining.
04:25What's going on?
04:27Go private, son.
04:30What the hell?
04:33Rise and shine, maggots!
04:34You spend the next two years of your miserable lives here,
04:37so you better get used to it.
04:39Once you've been tested,
04:41it will show a number representing your corresponding power level.
04:44Power levels range from one to eight.
04:49Hey, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
04:51Huh?
04:52The harder you tug, the tighter it gets.
04:55You ever see someone on the street without a hand?
04:58That's the price for running.
05:00Thanks.
05:02Once you've been tested,
05:02it will be displayed as a number representing your corresponding power level.
05:06Power levels range from one to eight.
05:09I think I could get at least a five.
05:12What?
05:12I heard no one's ever gotten higher than a five on the first test.
05:16Well, except originals.
05:18You know, people who don't need ability books for their powers?
05:20They're just born that way.
05:21Yeah, I know what originals are.
05:23Oh, okay.
05:26I was just making conversation.
05:27I know.
05:28Sorry.
05:29So, name, ability, favorite color.
05:32Next group.
05:33Quinn Talon.
05:35Hey.
05:36Peter Chuck.
05:39Hide me.
05:40Hey, knock it off.
05:41Vorden Blade.
05:43Rough hands, bro.
05:45Ever tried lotion?
05:46Layla Monroe.
05:51And Aaron Healy.
05:55Finally.
05:56You five will be today's final group.
05:58Good luck.
06:00So, Quinn, right?
06:03Yeah.
06:03Name's Vorden.
06:04What's his angle?
06:05Why is someone that looks like him being so nice to me?
06:08Use of foreign ability detected.
06:10What did you say your ability was?
06:12Ability attempt blocked.
06:13Ability blocked?
06:17Warning.
06:18You are being hit by direct sunlight.
06:21All stats will be reduced by 50%.
06:24First time teleporting?
06:25Second ability attempt blocked.
06:30Don't touch me.
06:30Look, I'm pretty strong.
06:31So if anybody messes with you, I just put them in their place.
06:34You know?
06:36Vorden.
06:37What's up?
06:38Vorden.
06:39Nice to meet you.
06:40Vorden.
06:40Pleasure.
06:42Vorden, very nice to meet you.
06:44Hi, Vorden.
06:45Nice to meet you.
06:45Maybe he's just friendly with everyone.
06:48I hope I don't look as nervous as him.
06:50I definitely look more nervous than her.
06:52Cool box.
06:52What's inside it?
06:53Ow, ow, ow.
06:55Oh, what gives?
06:56Line up.
06:58Side by side.
06:59My name is Jane, and I will be in charge of testing today.
07:02Once you have finished your trials, I will be adjusting your wrist devices
07:06to match your decided ability levels.
07:10But before we get started, we have a couple things to take care of.
07:14Quinn Talon?
07:15Their records show I don't have an ability.
07:18But do I have an ability?
07:24Whatever this system is,
07:25my parents kept it secret for a reason.
07:31Standard issue, earth abilities.
07:33I can't.
07:35Pardon?
07:35I don't want to.
07:39Would you excuse me for one moment?
07:44Talon Quinn won't take the book.
07:47How do you wish to proceed?
07:50No abilities, no parents, no connection to pure either.
07:53Let's see how he does without the help of military assistance, shall we?
07:57Understood, sir.
08:00My apologies.
08:02Please, await further instruction.
08:06Phew.
08:07That was a close one.
08:09All right, testing will begin in groups of two.
08:13First up, Erin Healy and Layla Monroe.
08:19Good luck, babe.
08:20Send that pretty little face my way.
08:22Whoa, she has ice abilities.
08:25She could freeze me any time.
08:26What the hell's the matter with you?
08:27Stop touching people without their permission.
08:29Stop touching people without permission.
08:30Hey, that's what you sound like.
08:32If you are not Erin or Layla, please move away from the immediate area.
08:39I'll try to go easy on you.
08:40It won't be a competition.
08:42We do this in twos to save time, but literally, it's not a competition.
08:46I'm sorry.
08:47I'm sorry.
08:48I'm sorry.
08:48I'm sorry.
08:49I'm sorry.
08:49I'm sorry.
08:50I'm sorry.
08:50I'm sorry.
08:51I'm sorry.
08:53This test will measure your combat prowess.
08:56Use whatever tools you have available to decimate the targets.
09:01Three, two, one, start.
09:17What'd she do?
09:19She's telekinetic.
09:20Telekinesis is normally considered weak,
09:22but maybe when paired with a beast weapon, any power can be strong.
09:46She has a beast weapon too.
09:48Damn.
09:51This next test will gauge endurance.
09:55We call it the blade test.
09:56Try to avoid getting struck.
10:02Blades?
10:04Are you scared?
10:05No.
10:06Don't worry.
10:06They're just simple holograms.
10:10Three, two, one.
10:20They're moving so fast, is it possible to dodge them?
10:37I guess they weren't holograms after all.
10:39Time.
10:40I have made my decision.
10:42Leila Munro, you have been awarded the rank of a level two ability user.
10:47A respectable score for a first try.
10:49Level two?
10:51Congrats on your win, princess.
10:53Again, not a contest.
10:56Aaron Healy, you've been awarded the rank of a level five ability user.
11:02Only the third person in history to do so on their first test.
11:05Congratulations.
11:06Five.
11:08That's it.
11:09Oh, I guess neither of them are happy with their scores.
11:13Next two up, Vorden Blade.
11:16Get ready to wash them both's names out of the water.
11:18There's no way he's that strong.
11:20Quinn Talon.
11:22What?
11:23No, you can't test me.
11:24I don't have an ability.
11:25And yet you refuse the ability book.
11:28My commander has instructed me to test your mettle regardless.
11:31You're making an example out of me.
11:32If you aren't Vorden or Quinn, please step aside.
11:36You two, get in position.
11:37Don't worry, Talon.
11:39I'll make sure to go easy on you.
11:41It's not a contest.
11:42With you it isn't.
11:44What?
11:44Boys.
11:46How am I supposed to hit those targets?
11:51All stats are reduced to 50% in the sunlight.
11:55This idiot couldn't really be strong.
11:59Could he?
12:06I thought it might be different here.
12:08But it's more of the same.
12:10I'm still a loser.
12:16If only there was a little shade.
12:22It can't be.
12:26Ice abilities?
12:28He also has ice abilities?
12:30What are the chances two people in the same class have such rare gifts?
12:34That's why he kept touching people.
12:35Nice to meet you.
12:37Hi, I'm Vorden.
12:38Nice to meet you.
12:38He was sampling abilities.
12:46Please, thank you.
12:47Thank you for making me blush.
12:50I really couldn't have done it though without you in particular.
12:55Enough.
12:56Get ready for the blade test.
12:59Three, two, one.
13:00It was nice knowing you, Talon.
13:02I'm sure we would have made great friends.
13:06Come on, system.
13:07I know you can do more than this.
13:09Help me out here.
13:10All stats are reduced to 50% in the sunlight.
13:13My parents wouldn't leave me this book if it was useless.
13:16Come on.
13:18Am I about to die?
13:26Time.
13:32That's enough.
13:35Vorden blade level five.
13:37Quintalen level one.
13:42Sorry about the frost, bro.
13:44It's okay.
13:46Thanks.
13:47Told you I'd protect you.
13:48Maybe he's not so bad after all.
13:51You didn't try to take my ability that time.
13:53Respect.
13:55You know, no one's ever figured out my trick so fast.
13:58So is that your ability?
13:59No.
14:01But you were pretty surprised when it didn't work.
14:02Well, credit where credit's due, right?
14:05Yeah.
14:06You know, there's no ability book that teaches copy ability.
14:11You're an original.
14:13Aren't you?
14:18This building was constructed to honor the lives lost in the great Delqui war.
14:24This is where the tour ends.
14:26Great time to get to know each other a little better.
14:29Better use of your time.
14:31After all, you are classmates now.
14:34We'll break a bit here.
14:36All stats are being reduced by 50% during exposure to sunlight.
14:40I should have figured we weren't going to be friends.
14:43The rules here are the same as back home.
14:49Level 3 is bye for the attention of the 4s and 5s, and 2s pick up the scraps.
14:55Everyone wants to move up and I'm at the bottom again.
14:58Alone.
15:00Or maybe not.
15:05It's just a level, right man?
15:07Can't let it get to us, you know?
15:08Right.
15:10Thanks.
15:11You were great back there, by the way.
15:13Training on the test with no abilities?
15:15There you are!
15:17Hey.
15:18Dude, all of a sudden all these students wanted a piece of me.
15:21Totally lost sight of you.
15:22Oh, oh, uh, uh, I've been here the whole time, man.
15:26Yeah, well, let's, uh, let's be here together.
15:31Yeah.
15:33You too, sad boy.
15:34You can hang with us.
15:36Me? Really?
15:37Yeah, unless you're too cool to hang with us.
15:40A level 5 befriending two level 1s?
15:43He's like no one I've ever met.
15:46All right, let's see what room number I get.
15:5123.
15:52I got 14.
15:55Yo, Quinn!
15:57Dude, what room number did you get?
15:5923.
16:00Okay, cool.
16:02Oh, fingers crossed we get the same one, all right?
16:05Yeah.
16:07All right, see ya.
16:11Oh, no way.
16:12I'm in room 23.
16:13We're neighbors.
16:27Hey.
16:30What room number did you get?
16:3223.
16:33You're gonna trade with me.
16:35What?
16:36Why would I do that?
16:38Hey!
16:40Hey.
16:42Don't forget to wash your hands.
16:48Do you really think it's going to be different from the crap holes we came from?
16:53One can only hope, right?
16:55Yeah.
16:56Yo!
16:58I guess you got room 23.
17:00Same as Quinn.
17:02Wow.
17:03What are the chances?
17:04Yeah, it's like, like fate wanted us to be best friends.
17:08Right, buddy?
17:09Yeah.
17:10Fate.
17:14We should throw a party in here.
17:16Tonight.
17:17Yeah.
17:19Yeah.
17:26Do you know who this is?
17:31There he goes again.
17:33Mr. Popular.
17:41Hey.
17:43Hey.
17:46I, uh, just want to say I thought you did really good in the field today.
17:50You know, a lot of people say that telepaths are actually, like, really weak.
17:54But I thought, I thought you did really good.
17:56I thought you were really crazy.
17:59Telepaths are weak?
18:01God, I'm an idiot.
18:07I should see what Peter's up to.
18:10First year.
18:12Nothing out of the ordinary.
18:14Orphan boy.
18:16No abilities.
18:17And yet you'll notice he refused to take the standard ability book when offered.
18:20You can bump into me like that without saying sorry?
18:23Sorry.
18:24I can't hear you.
18:25I'm sorry.
18:25Peter?
18:26Hey!
18:27What's going on?
18:28There's much you don't know.
18:31We originals have a heavy burden that even you and your military might could never comprehend.
18:37Hey!
18:41There are abilities that are far darker and more dangerous than have been made public.
18:46Abilities that we're still discovering from books that have been lost to the annals of time.
18:51What is this?
18:52Another prompt?
18:57You think this boy has an ability powerful enough to end the world?
19:02Or end a war before it begins?
19:06What are you gonna do, level one?
19:08You think you can do better than this twerp?
19:10I believe this Quintallum is hiding something.
19:13You can help me reveal it.
19:16Initiating Halloween.
19:19You want to find out the hard way?
19:21You have received another dating quest.
19:24I need to run.
19:25Find Gordon.
19:26He's only level two.
19:27I can take him.
19:28Make his life hell.
19:30Make him suffer.
19:32What's gotten into you?
19:35I think I found an easy way to level up.
19:41Let me have him.
19:46Let's do this.
19:48What powers has Quinn unlocked?
19:50And what will he do with them?
19:53What secret is the book hiding?
19:56And why is the military after Quinn?
20:00Will Quinn finally be able to take his revenge?
