Short filmTranscript
00:00Falling in love with you was my biggest mistake.
00:02You mocked my love.
00:04Now watch how I turn you into a joke.
00:07Who said you could ask me out?
00:09Do you even have an ability?
00:10What?
00:11My last boyfriend was a level 3.
00:14You think I'd slum it with a level 1 loser like you?
00:16I only asked you for your number because we're lab partners.
00:19Unbelievable.
00:22The girl I genuinely loved also rejected me and made fun of me.
00:28Just because I was powerless.
00:30That's fantastic, thank you.
00:33Quinn, you're up next.
00:35Looks like it's my turn.
00:37This is gonna suck.
00:44What the hell was that, Quinn?
00:46Do you even have a special ability?
00:47No, but my parents...
00:50Your parents what?
00:52My parents couldn't afford an ability book.
00:54No powers and he's poor?
00:56Talonless Talon!
00:58Talonless Talon!
00:59Talonless Talon!
01:00Talonless Talon!
01:03Whether it's a boy or a girl,
01:04everyone at school just wants to make fun of me and bully me.
01:09You want superpowers?
01:10What?
01:11Someone checked in an unused ability book.
01:14Want it or not?
01:15Yeah, of course.
01:19What kind of loser would think I would just give them an ability book?
01:24Talonless Talon!
01:25Talonless Talon!
01:26Talonless Talon!
01:27Talonless Talon!
01:29Talonless Talon!
01:30Joke's on him.
01:31I do have an ability book.
01:33Drake's gonna regret it once I figure out how to unlock my power.
01:40Every kid at school who has bullied me and made fun of me,
01:44I will take revenge on all of them.
01:46But first, it is crucial that I open this book.
01:51It's my one shot at answers.
01:56Okay, so far no reaction.
01:59I don't know why I keep trying.
02:06Damn it!
02:08It's like my parents wanted to taunt me with an ability book from beyond the grave.
02:12They could have at least left instructions.
02:17What the hell is happening?
02:18Congratulations, you have been granted the vampire system.
02:29Hello?
02:39Upload complete.
02:44Uh, what happened last night?
02:52Wait, no way.
02:55I can see the whole room?
02:57How?
02:57Was it the book?
03:00It's gone.
03:01Think, Quinn.
03:02Try to remember what happened.
03:03Menu, menu, menu.
03:05Main menu.
03:07Who sent it?
03:09What is all this?
03:12This thing, it's controlled by my thoughts?
03:17A skills tab?
03:18Oh, it's like one of those old gaming systems.
03:21Did this come from a book?
03:22Ability books can be absorbed for additional XP.
03:26So my parents did leave me an ability book.
03:36But I don't feel any different.
03:39It just seems like an old gaming interface.
03:42Okay, if you're a computer, do you have any information about my parents?
03:46Systems are often disregarded as simple computers.
03:50But with the right user, they can become quite powerful once leveled up.
03:54Okay, cool.
03:56I'll play your game.
03:58So how do I level up?
03:59Drink two liters of water.
04:03Two liters for five XP, that's it?
04:07I can definitely do that.
04:13My stomach feels like it's gonna burst.
04:16Challenge complete.
04:18Five experience points awarded.
04:19At least I know this system works now.
04:22Hopefully if I keep doing quests, I'll level up and get stronger.
04:27Quintalan?
04:29Hello.
04:30We've been waiting outside five minutes already.
04:32What?
04:33Don't play dumb with me.
04:35It's draft day, boy.
04:37Time for you to head to military school.
04:39That's right.
04:40How could I forget?
04:41The war with the Dahlke wiped out most of the population.
04:45Now, like every student age 16, I'm required to attend military school for two years.
04:51No one expects the peace deal with the Dahlke to last.
04:55Neither do I.
04:56It's so bright.
04:59What's happening to me?
05:01You okay, son?
05:03You're not gonna try to run, are you?
05:05Your stats are being reduced to 50% during exposure.
05:08Please seek immediate shelter from direct sunlight.
05:11I'm weaker in sunlight now?
05:13What kind of drawback is this?
05:19Keep it moving, recruit.
05:21Sorry.
05:22Sorry.
05:23You are no longer in direct sunlight.
05:26Stats have returned to normal.
05:30What a relief.
05:31That was torture.
05:33When is the shuttle arriving?
05:35ETA, 11 minutes.
05:37Keep it quiet.
05:39Keyword, direct sunlight.
05:43Another quest.
05:45At least this one's easy.
05:46I wonder what the military academy is gonna be like.
05:48Yeah, me too.
05:49Quiet!
05:50Whatever it's like, it's probably better than school.
05:55Warning.
05:56A foreign substance has been detected.
05:58Activating oxygen reserves.
06:01What?
06:01Your resistance to the substance has increased.
06:04Approximately 30 seconds of consciousness remaining.
06:06What's going on?
06:08Don't fight it, son.
06:14What the hell?
06:16Rise and shine, maggots!
06:17You spend the next two years of your miserable lives here,
06:20so you better get used to it.
06:23Once you've been tested,
06:24it will show a number representing your corresponding power level.
06:27Power levels range from one to eight.
06:32Hey, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
06:34Huh?
06:36The harder you tug, the tighter it gets.
06:38You ever see someone on the street without a hand?
06:41That's the price for running.
06:43Thanks.
06:45Once you've been tested,
06:46it will be displayed as a number representing your corresponding power level.
06:49Power levels range from one to eight.
06:53I think I could get at least a five.
06:55What?
06:56I heard no one's ever gotten higher than a five on the first test.
06:59Well, except originals.
07:01You know, people who don't need ability books for their powers,
07:04they're just born that way.
07:04Yeah, I know what originals are.
07:06Oh, okay, hot shot.
07:09I was just making conversation.
07:10I know.
07:11Sorry.
07:12So, name, ability, favorite color.
07:15Next group.
07:16Quinn Talon.
07:18Hey.
07:19Peter Chuck.
07:22Hide it.
07:23Hey, knock it off.
07:24Vorden Blade.
07:26Rough hands, bro.
07:28Ever tried lotion?
07:29Layla Monroe.
07:34And Aaron Healy.
07:38Finally.
07:39You five will be today's final group.
07:42Good luck.
07:43So, Quinn.
07:44Right?
07:47Name's Vorden.
07:48What's his angle?
07:48Why is someone that looks like him being so nice to me?
07:51Use of foreign ability detected.
07:53What did you say your ability was?
07:55Ability attempt blocked.
07:56Ability blocked?
08:01Warning, you are being hit by direct sunlight.
08:04All stats will be reduced by 50%.
08:07First time teleporting?
08:09Second ability attempt blocked.
08:13Don't touch me.
08:14Look, I'm pretty strong.
08:14So, if anybody messes with you, I just put them in their place.
08:17You know?
08:19Vorden.
08:20What's up?
08:21Vorden.
08:22Nice to meet you.
08:23Vorden.
08:25Vorden, very nice to meet you.
08:27Hi, Vorden.
08:28Nice to meet you, too.
08:28Maybe he's just friendly with everyone?
08:31I hope I don't look as nervous as him.
08:33I definitely look more nervous than her.
08:35Cool box.
08:36What's inside it?
08:36Ow, ow, ow.
08:38Oh, what gives?
08:40Line up.
08:41Side by side.
08:42My name is Jane, and I will be in charge of testing today.
08:46Once you have finished your trials, I will be adjusting your wrist devices
08:50to match your decided ability levels.
08:53But before we get started, we have a couple things to take care of.
08:57Peter Chuck, step forward.
09:03I bet he's in trouble.
09:04Why?
09:05For not having an ability.
09:07Now I understand why you were so nervous.
09:09Hey, it's your Earth ability book.
09:11They're pretty common, but really helpful.
09:13You want it?
09:13Knock yourself out.
09:17Unable to learn ability.
09:20Would you like to convert the ability book into 10 experience points?
09:23Wait.
09:24This system prevents me from studying ability books?
09:29It's yours.
09:30I can't accept it.
09:31They just give these to us to keep us indebted to them anyway.
09:34Quintalent?
09:35Their records show I don't have any.
09:37Their records show I don't have an ability.
09:41But do I have an ability?
09:46Whatever this system is,
09:50my parents kept it secret for a reason.
09:55Standard issue Earth abilities.
09:58I can't.
09:59Pardon?
10:00I don't want it.
10:03Would you excuse me for one moment?
10:08Talon Quinn won't take the book.
10:11How do you wish to proceed?
10:14No abilities, no parents, no connection to Pure either.
10:18Let's see how he does without the help of military assistance, shall we?
10:21Understood, sir.
10:24My apologies.
10:26Please, await further instruction.
10:30Phew.
10:31That was a close one.
10:33All right.
10:34Testing will begin in groups of two.
10:37First up, Erin Healy and Layla Monroe.
10:43Good luck, babe.
10:44Send that pretty little face my regards.
10:50Whoa.
10:51She has ice abilities.
10:52She could freeze me anytime.
10:54What the hell's the matter with you?
10:55Stop touching people without their permission.
10:56Stop touching people without permission.
10:58Hey, that's what you sound like.
10:59If you are not Erin or Layla, please move away from the immediate area.
11:04I'll try to go easy on you.
11:06It won't be a competition.
11:08We do this in twos to save time, but literally, it's not a competition.
11:12Please, stand back to back.
11:21It's a beast weapon.
11:23Not me.
11:25You know, I kind of had her pegged as a terrorist.
11:29Outside the military, the only other people who use them are the police.
11:34There's a terrorist group called Pure.
11:36They want to rid the world of ability users.
11:38Beast weapons are made from crystal hearts of powerful alien beasts.
11:43Even if she's not a member of Pure,
11:45it's hard to imagine someone so young might have been to other planets.
11:51This test will measure your combat prowess.
11:54Use whatever tools you have available to decimate the targets.
11:58Three, two, one, start.
12:04What's she doing?
12:17She's telekinetic.
12:17Telekinesis is normally considered weak,
12:20but maybe when paired with a beast weapon, any power can be strong.
12:34She's a beast weapon, too.
12:46Damn.
12:48This next test will gauge endurance.
12:52We call it the blade test.
12:54Try to avoid getting struck.
13:00Brilliant.
13:01Are you scared?
13:02No.
13:03Don't worry.
13:04They're just simple holograms.
13:07Three, two, one.
13:27They're moving so fast.
13:29Is it possible to dodge them?
13:34I guess they weren't holograms after all.
13:36Time.
13:38I have made my decision.
13:40Layla Monroe, you have been awarded the rank of a level two ability user.
13:44A respectable score for a first try.
13:46Level two?
13:49Congrats on your win, princess.
13:51Again, not a contest.
13:54Erin Healy, you've been awarded the rank of a level five ability user.
13:59Only the third person in history to do so on their first test.
14:03Congratulations.
14:04Five.
14:05That's it.
14:06Oh.
14:07I guess neither of them are happy with their scores.
14:10Next two up.
14:12Vorden Blade.
14:13Get ready to wash them both's veins out of the water.
14:16There's no way he's that strong.
14:17Quinn Talon.
14:19What?
14:20No, you can't test me.
14:21I don't have an ability.
14:22And yet you refuse the ability book.
14:25My commander has instructed me to test your mettle regardless.
14:28They're making an example out of me.
14:30If you aren't Vorden or Quinn, please step aside.
14:33You two, get in position.
14:35Don't worry, Talon.
14:37I'll make sure to go easy on you.
14:38It's not a contest.
14:40With you it isn't.
14:41What?
14:42Boys.
14:45How am I supposed to hit those targets?
14:48All stats are reduced to 50% in the sunlight.
14:53This idiot couldn't really be strong.
14:56Could he?
15:03I thought it might be different here.
15:06But it's more of the same.
15:08I'm still a loser.
15:13If only there was a little shade.
15:19It can't be.
15:24Ice abilities?
15:25He also has ice abilities?
15:27What are the chances two people in the same class have such rare gifts?
15:31That's why he kept touching people.
15:33Nice to meet you.
15:34Hi, I'm Vorden.
15:35Nice to meet you.
15:36He was sampling abilities.
15:44Please, thank you, thank you.
15:46Make me blush.
15:48I really couldn't have done it though without you in particular.
15:53Enough.
15:54Get ready for the blade test.
15:56Three, two, one.
15:58It was nice knowing you, Talon.
15:59I'm sure we would have made great friends.
16:03Come on, system.
16:04I know you can do more than this.
16:06Help me out here.
16:08All stats are reduced to 50% in the sunlight.
16:10My parents wouldn't leave me this book if it was useless.
16:13Come on.
16:15Am I about to die?
16:23Time.
16:30It's enough.
16:32Vorden blade level five.
16:34Quin Talon level one.
16:38Oof.
16:39Sorry about the frost, bro.
16:42It's okay.
16:44Thanks.
16:44Told you I'd protect you.
16:45Maybe he's not so bad after all.
16:49You didn't try to take my ability that time.
16:51Respect.
16:53You know, no one's ever figured out my trick so fast.
16:55So is that your ability?
16:56No.
16:58But you were pretty surprised when it didn't work.
17:00Well, credit where credit's due.
17:02Right?
17:02Yeah.
17:04You know, there's no ability book that teaches copy ability.
17:09You're an original, aren't you?
17:16This building was constructed to honor the lives lost in the Great Delqui War.
17:22This is where the tour ends.
17:24Great time to get to know each other a little better.
17:26Better use of your time.
17:28After all, you are classmates now.
17:31We'll break a bit here.
17:33All stats are being reduced by 50% during exposure to sunlight.
17:38I should have figured we weren't going to be friends.
17:40The rules here are the same as back home.
17:46Level threes buy for the attention of the fours and fives,
17:50and twos pick up the scraps.
17:52Everyone wants to move up and I'm at the bottom again.
17:56Alone.
17:58Or maybe not.
18:02It's just a level, right, man?
18:04Can't let it get to us, you know?
18:05Right.
18:07Thanks.
18:09You were great back there, by the way.
18:12Training on the test with no abilities?
18:14There you are!
18:16Hey.
18:17Dude, all of a sudden all these students wanted a piece of me.
18:19Totally lost sight of you.
18:21Oh, oh, uh, uh, I've been here the whole time, man.
18:25Yeah, well, let's, uh, let's be here together.
18:29Yeah.
18:31You too, sad boy.
18:33You can hang with us.
18:34Me? Really?
18:35Yeah, unless you're too cool to hang with us.
18:37A level five befriending two level ones?
18:41He's like no one I've ever met.
18:44All right, let's see what room number I get.
18:4823.
18:50I got 14.
18:52Yo, Quinn!
18:54Dude, what room number did you get?
18:5623.
18:57Okay, cool.
18:59Oh, fingers crossed we get the same one, all right?
19:02Yeah.
19:04All right, see you.
19:08Ah, no way.
19:09I'm in room 23.
19:10We're neighbors.
19:24Hey, what room number did you get?
19:2923.
19:30You're gonna trade with me.
19:33What?
19:34Why would I do that?
19:35Hey!
19:39Got any other stupid questions?
19:41Please, please, just, just take it.
19:49Tell anyone about this and I will rip out your throat.
19:54Got it.
19:57Perfect.
20:02Don't forget to wash your hands.
20:08Do you really think it's going to be different from the crap holes we came from?
20:12One can only hope, right?
20:14Yeah.
20:16Yo!
20:18I guess you got room 23.
20:20Same as Quinn.
20:22Wow.
20:23What are the chances?
20:24Yeah, it's like, like fate wanted us to be best friends.
20:28Right, buddy?
20:29Yeah, fate.
20:34We should throw a party in here.
20:36Tonight.
20:46Do you know who this is?
20:51There he goes again.
20:53Mr. Popular.
21:03Hey.
21:06I, uh, just want to say I thought you did really good in the field today.
21:10You know, a lot of people say that toe caps are actually, like, really neat.
21:14But I thought, I thought you did really good.
21:16I thought you were really good.
21:18I'm sorry.
21:20Ever since Jennifer rejected me, I haven't been able to talk confidently to girls.
21:25Are you, uh, doing anything after school?
21:28Do you have a crush on me?
21:30Aren't you a level one?
21:31Uh, yeah, but it's not like that.
21:33I'm, I'm just-
21:34Do you even have an ability?
21:35Well, no.
21:36Or a mansion?
21:37Who are you even?
21:38We've been in the same class since first grade.
21:40Well then, let me spell it out for you.
21:43N-O.
21:45Hey, I-
22:03Starting today, I will not allow anyone like Jennifer to bully the vulnerable.
22:09I can't hear you!
22:10I'm sorry.
22:11I can't hear you!
22:12I'm sorry.
22:13Peter?
22:14Hey! What's going on?
22:16Hey!
22:20There are abilities that are far darker and more dangerous than have been made public.
22:26Abilities that we're still discovering from books that have been lost to the animals of time.
22:30What is this?
22:31Another prompt?
22:32Harmful attempt to detect. Initiate battle mode.
22:36You think this boy has an ability powerful enough to end the world?
22:41Or end a war before it begins?
22:45What are you gonna do, level one?
22:47You think you can do better than this twerp?
22:49I believe this quintalent is hiding something.
22:52You can help me reveal it.
22:55Initiating battle mode.
22:58Do you want to find out the hard way?
23:00You have received another daily quest.
23:04We need to run.
23:05Find Gordon.
23:06He's only level two.
23:08I can take him.
23:09Make his life hell.
23:10Make him suffer.
23:13And we'll see what he becomes.
23:16What's gotten into you?
23:19I think I've found an easy way to level up.
23:22You think I'd ever go to prom with a level one loser like you?
23:25Let me have him.
23:31Let's do this.
23:32What will Quinn do with his newfound powers?
23:34Seek revenge on his bullies who made fun of him?
23:37Or avenge his parents' death and save Earth from an alien invasion?
