Short filmTranscript
00:00All right, let's see which one of you lucky ladies will be
00:05Dork, I hope it lands on Jennifer. I've been in love with her since the first grade
00:15Oh
00:19See you to love birds
00:22Okay, Quinn come here this is it my chance to kiss the love of my life
00:30I
00:33I
00:37Did you honestly think I'd let a level one loser like you touch these lips
00:42You know jokes on you guys. I prefer dogs
00:45No, no, I mean
00:58I wish I had the ability to disappear
01:02I
01:07Said I stink of blood if I could smell anything
01:11This is my place
01:13It's not much, but it's home. My whole life fits inside this suitcase. I lost everything in the war
01:21I
01:27Have some bad news it's about your parents. Where are they? What happened? They saved a lot of lives, but
01:34They wanted you to have this
01:37Aliens burned the world killed my family and all I got was this stupid book a book. That's impossible to open
01:44Still my parents must have left it to me for a reason. It's my one-shot at answers
01:51Okay, so far no reaction
01:56I don't know why I keep trying
02:03Damn it. Oh, it's like my parents wanted to taunt me with an ability book from beyond the grave. They could have at least left instructions
02:13What the hell is happening congratulations you have been granted the vampire system
02:21Oh
02:28Hello
02:36Upload complete what happened last night
02:43Wait
02:46No way I
02:48Can see the whole room. How was it?
02:51The book it's gone. Think Quinn try to remember what happened
02:57Main menu
03:00Who said what is all of this
03:05This thing it's controlled by my thoughts
03:08This thing it's controlled by my thoughts a
03:14Skills tab. Oh, it's like one of those old gaming systems
03:17This come from the book ability books can be absorbed for additional XP. So my parents did leave me an ability book
03:32But I don't feel any different it just seems like an old gaming interface
03:38Okay, if you're a computer, do you have any information about my parents?
03:43Systems are often disregarded as simple computers, but with the right user they can become quite powerful once leveled up
03:51Cool, I'll play your game
03:54So, how do I level up drink two liters of water?
03:59Two liters for 5xp, that's it. I can definitely do that
04:09Ah
04:10My stomach feels like it's gonna burst challenge complete
04:14Five experience points awarded at least I know this system works now
04:18Hopefully if I keep doing quests, I'll level up and get stronger
04:24Quinn Talon
04:26Hello, we've been waiting outside five minutes already. What don't play dumb with me
04:31It's draft day boy
04:33Time for you to head to military school, that's right
04:37How could I forget the war with the Dahlke wiped out most of the population now like every student age 16
04:44I'm required to attend military school for two years
04:48No one expects the peace deal with the Dahlke to last
04:51Neither do I it's so bright
04:55What's happening to me? Okay, son
04:59You're not gonna try to run are you your stats are being reduced to 50% during exposure
05:04Please seek immediate shelter from direct sunlight. I'm weaker in sunlight now. What kind of drawback is this?
05:15Keep it moving recruit. Sorry
05:20You are no longer in direct sunlight stats have returned to normal
05:25Ah
05:26What a relief
05:27That was torture. What is the shuttle arriving ETA 11 minutes and keep it quiet
05:34Mm-hmm
05:36keyword direct sunlight
05:39Another quest
05:41This this one's easy. I wonder what the Military Academy is gonna be like. Yeah, me too. Quiet
05:47Whatever, it's like it's probably better than school
05:49Warning a foreign substance has been detected
05:52Activating oxygen reserves. What your resistance to the substance has increased
05:58Approximately 30 seconds. What's going on?
06:01Don't fight it, son
06:07What the hell
06:09Rise and shine maggots you spend the next two years of your miserable lives here. So you better get used to it
06:16Place on your wrist. I knew the military was sitting on some experimental tech, but I had no idea it was anything like this
06:23Daily rations and other privileges once you've been tested. It will show a number representing your corresponding power level
06:30Power levels range from one to five
06:33So you're gonna have to get used to it
06:36You're gonna have to get used to it. You're gonna have to get used to it. You're gonna have to get used to it
06:41A number representing your corresponding power level power levels range from one to eight
06:49Hey, I wouldn't do that if I were you
06:52The harder you tug the tighter it gets
06:55You ever see someone on the street without a hand?
06:58That's the price for running
07:00Thanks
07:02Once you've been tested it will be displayed as a number representing your corresponding power level
07:06Power levels range from one to eight
07:09I think I could get at least a five
07:11What?
07:12I heard no one's ever gotten higher than a five on the first test
07:16Well, except originals, you know, people don't need ability books for their powers
07:20They're just born that way
07:21Yeah, I know what originals are
07:23Okay, hot shot
07:25I was just making conversation
07:26I know, I'm sorry
07:28So, name, ability, favorite color
07:31Next group, quintality
07:34Hey
07:35Peter Chuck
07:39Hide me
07:40Hey, knock it off
07:41Vorden Blade
07:43Rough hands, bro
07:45Ever tried lotion?
07:46Layla Monroe
07:51And Erin Healy
07:54Finally
07:55You five will be today's final group
07:58Good luck
08:00Quinn, right?
08:03Name's Vorden
08:04What's his angle?
08:05Why is someone that looks like him being so nice to me?
08:07Use of foreign ability detected
08:09What did you say your ability was?
08:11Ability attempt blocked
08:13Ability blocked?
08:17Warning, you are being hit by direct sunlight
08:20All stats will be reduced by 50%
08:24First time teleporting?
08:25Second ability attempt blocked
08:29Don't touch me
08:30Look, I'm pretty strong, so if anybody messes with you, I just put them in their place, you know?
08:35Vorden
08:36Sup?
08:37Vorden
08:38Nice to meet you
08:39Vorden
08:41Vorden, very nice to meet you
08:43Hi, Vorden, nice to meet you
08:45Maybe he's just friendly with everyone?
08:47I hope I don't look as nervous as him
08:49I definitely look more nervous than her
08:51Cool box
08:52What's inside it?
08:53Ow, ow, ow
08:55What gives?
08:56Line up
08:57Side by side
08:58My name is Jane
09:00And I will be in charge of testing today
09:02Once you have finished your trials, I will be adjusting your wrist devices to match your decided ability levels
09:09But before we get started, we have a couple things to take care of
09:13Peter Chuck, step forward
09:20I bet he's in trouble
09:21Why?
09:22For not having an ability
09:23Now I understand why you were so nervous
09:27Hey, get your Earth ability book
09:29They're pretty common, but really help
09:31You want it? Knock yourself out
09:35Unable to learn ability
09:37Would you like to convert the ability book into ten experience points?
09:41Wait, this system prevents me from studying ability books?
09:47It's yours
09:48I can't accept it
09:49They just give these to us to keep us indebted to them anyway
09:52Quinn Talon?
09:53Their records show I don't have an ability
09:56But do I have an ability?
10:02Whatever this system is, my parents kept it secret for a reason
10:11Standard issue Earth abilities
10:13I can't
10:15Pardon?
10:16I don't want it
10:19Would you excuse me for one moment?
10:24Talon Quinn won't take the book
10:27How do you wish to proceed?
10:30No abilities, no parents, no connection to Pure either
10:34Let's see how he does without the help of military assistance, shall we?
10:37Understood, sir
10:40My apologies
10:42Please, await further instruction
10:46Phew, that was a close one
10:49All right, testing will begin
10:52In groups of two
10:53First up, Erin Healy and Layla Monroe
10:59Good luck, babe
11:00Send that pretty little face my regards
11:06Whoa, she has ice abilities
11:08She could freeze me anytime
11:10What the hell's the matter with you?
11:11Stop touching people without their permission
11:12Stop touching people without permission
11:14Hey, that's what you sound like
11:15If you are not Erin or Layla, please move away from the immediate area
11:22I'll try to go easy on you
11:24It won't be a competition
11:26We do this in twos to save time, it literally is not a competition
11:30Please, stand back to back
11:39It's a beast weapon
11:41Not for me
11:44You know, I kind of had her pegged as a terrorist
11:47Outside the military, the only other people who use them is a terrorist group called Pure
11:52They want to rid the world of ability users
11:55Beast weapons are made from crystal hearts of powerful alien beasts
11:59Even if she's not a member of Pure, it's hard to imagine someone so young might have been to other planets
12:07This test will measure your combat prowess
12:10Use whatever tools you have available to decimate the targets
12:14Three, two, one, start
12:25What's she doing?
12:27She's telekinetic
12:28Telekinesis is normally considered weak, but maybe when paired with a beast weapon, any power can be strong
12:56She's a beast weapon, too
12:58Damn
13:01This next test will gauge endurance
13:04We call it the blade test
13:06Try to avoid getting struck
13:12Brilliant
13:13Are you scared?
13:14No
13:15Don't worry, they're just simple holograms
13:19Three, two, one
13:22They're just simple holograms
13:23Three, two, one
13:44They're moving so fast, it's impossible to dodge them
13:47Guess they weren't holograms after all.
13:52Time. I have made my decision.
13:55Layla Monroe, you have been awarded the rank of a level 2 ability user.
14:00A respectable score for a first try.
14:02Level 2?
14:04Congrats on your win, princess.
14:07Again, not a contest.
14:09Erin Healy, you've been awarded the rank of a level 5 ability user.
14:15Only the third person in history to do so on their first test.
14:19Congratulations.
14:20Five. That's it.
14:22Oh. I guess neither of them are happy with their scores.
14:26Next two up.
14:28Vorden Blade.
14:30Get ready to watch me blow these dames out of the water.
14:32There's no way he's that strong.
14:34Quintallon.
14:35What?
14:37No, you can't test me. I don't have an ability.
14:39And yet you refuse the ability book.
14:41My commander has instructed me to test your mettle, regardless.
14:44You're making an example out of me.
14:46If you aren't Vorden or Quinn, please step aside.
14:49You two, get in position.
14:51Don't worry, Tallon. I'll make sure to go easy on you.
14:54It's not a contest.
14:56With you it isn't.
14:57What?
14:58Boys.
15:01How am I supposed to hit those targets?
15:04All stats are reduced to 50% in the sunlight.
15:09This idiot couldn't really be strong.
15:12Could he?
15:20I thought it might be different here.
15:22But it's more of the same.
15:24I'm still a loser.
15:30If only there was a little shade.
15:35It can't be.
15:38Ice abilities?
15:41He also has ice abilities?
15:43What are the chances two people in the same class have such rare gifts?
15:47That's why he kept touching things.
15:49Very nice to meet you.
15:50Hi, I'm Vorden.
15:51Nice to meet you.
15:52He was sampling abilities.
15:59Please, thank you, thank you.
16:01You make me blush.
16:03I really couldn't have done it without you in particular.
16:07Enough.
16:08Get ready for the blade test.
16:11Three, two, one.
16:13It was nice knowing you, Talon.
16:14I'm sure we would have made great friends.
16:18Come on, system.
16:19I know you can do more than this.
16:21Help me out here.
16:22All stats are reduced to 50% in the sunlight.
16:25My parents wouldn't leave me this book if it was useless.
16:28Come on.
16:30Am I about to die?
16:31Am I about to die?
16:39Time.
16:46That's enough.
16:48Vorden Blade, level five.
16:50Quin Talon, level one.
16:55Sorry about the frost, bro.
16:58It's okay.
17:00Thanks.
17:01Told you I'd protect you.
17:02Maybe he's not so bad after all.
17:05You didn't try to take my ability that time.
17:07Respect.
17:09You know no one's ever figured out my trick so fast.
17:12So is that your ability?
17:13No.
17:14You were pretty surprised when it didn't work.
17:16Well, credit where credit's due.
17:18Right?
17:19Yeah.
17:20You know, there's no ability book that teaches copy ability.
17:25You're an original, aren't you?
17:30This building was constructed to honor the lives lost in the Great Delqui War.
17:37This is where the tour ends.
17:39Great time to get to know each other a little better.
17:41Better use of your time.
17:43After all, you are classmates now.
17:47We'll break a bit here.
17:48All stats are being reduced by 50% during exposure to sunlight.
17:53I should have figured we weren't going to be friends.
17:56The rules here are the same as back home.
17:59Ha ha ha!
18:01Level 3 is vie for the attention of the 4s and 5s, and 2s pick up the scraps.
18:07Everyone wants to move up, and I'm at the bottom again.
18:11Alone.
18:13Or maybe not.
18:17It's just a level, right man?
18:19Can't let it get to us, you know?
18:20Right.
18:22Thanks.
18:24You were great back there, by the way.
18:25Training on the test with no abilities?
18:27There you are!
18:29Hey.
18:30Dude, all of a sudden all these students wanted a piece of me.
18:33Totally lost sight of you.
18:34Oh, oh, uh, uh, I've been here the whole time, man.
18:38Yeah, well.
18:40Let's, uh, let's be here together.
18:42Yeah.
18:44You too, sad boy.
18:46You can hang with us.
18:47Me? Really?
18:48Yeah, unless you're too cool to hang with us.
18:50Me? Really?
18:51Yeah, unless you're too cool to hang with us.
18:53A level 5 befriending two level 1s?
18:56He's like no one I've ever met.
18:59Alright, let's see what room number I get.
19:0423.
19:05I got 14.
19:08Yo, Quinn!
19:10Dude, what room number did you get?
19:1223.
19:13Okay, cool.
19:15Oh, fingers crossed we get the same one, alright?
19:18Yeah.
19:20Alright, see ya.
19:24Uh, no way. I'm in room 23. We're neighbors.
19:41Hey.
19:43What room number did you get?
19:4523.
19:46You're gonna trade with me.
19:49What?
19:50Why would I do that?
19:52Hey!
19:56Got any other stupid questions?
19:58Please, please, just...
20:00Just take it.
20:05Tell anyone about this, and I will rip out your throat.
20:10Got it?
20:14Perfect.
20:18Don't forget to wash your hands.
20:24Do you really think it's gonna be different from the crap holes we came from?
20:29One can only hope, right?
20:30Yeah.
20:32Yo!
20:34Guess who got room 23?
20:36Same as Quinn.
20:38Wow.
20:39What are the chances?
20:40Yeah, it's like, like fate wanted us to be best friends. Right, buddy?
20:45Yeah. Fate.
20:49We should throw a party in here.
20:51Tonight.
21:02Do you know who this is?
21:07There he goes again. Mr. Popular.
21:19Hey.
21:22I, uh, just wanted to say I thought you did really good in the field today.
21:27You know, a lot of people say that telepaths are actually, like, really weak.
21:30But I thought, I thought you did really good.
21:32I thought you were really good.
21:36Telepaths are weak?
21:38God, I'm an idiot.
21:43I should see what Peter's up to.
21:46First year.
21:48Nothing out of the ordinary.
21:50Orphan boy.
21:52No abilities.
21:53And yet you'll notice he refused to take the standard ability book when offered.
21:56You can bump into me like that without saying sorry?
21:59I'm sorry.
22:00I can't hear you.
22:01I'm sorry.
22:02Peter?
22:03Hey! What's going on?
22:04There's much you don't know.
22:07We originals have a heavy burden that even you and your military might could never comprehend.
22:13Hey!
22:16Hey!
22:18There are abilities that are far darker and more dangerous than have been made public.
22:23Abilities that we're still discovering from books that have been lost to the annals of time.
22:27What is this?
22:28Another prompt?
22:33You think this boy has an ability powerful enough to end the world?
22:38Or end a war before it begins.
22:42What are you going to do, level one?
22:44You think you can do better than this twerp?
22:46I believe this Quintallum is hiding something.
22:50You can help me reveal it.
22:52Initiating power-up.
22:55Do you want to find out the hard way?
22:57You have received another daily quest.
23:00I need to run.
23:01Find Gordon.
23:02He's only level two.
23:03I can take him.
23:04Make his life hell.
23:06Make him suffer.
23:09And we'll see what he becomes.
23:11What's gotten into you?
23:14I think I've found an easy way to level up.
23:21Let me have him.
23:26Let's do this.
23:27What mysterious abilities has Quinn unlocked?
23:30Who is Varden?
23:31Is he a friend or a foe?
23:33And why is the military after Quinn?
