Misha tried to lecture Nolan about how important knowledge is on the battlefield. Besides not being the smartest and not understanding some things that Misah was talking about, Nolan was distracted by the Lieutenant who was speaking with three familiar faces. He didn’t know them personally but every student knows who they are. Squad PRIME from the SRA program.
-Isn’t that the squad from the ceremony?- Asked Nolan as he pointed toward them.
-Yes… That’s them. Tell me they came here to train! I want to see them in action! I know only about their leader's power to control gravity. I don’t know anything about the girl but the other guy has a nickname that might suggest his Esper powers. They call him Living Zombie.
-He doesn’t look that dead to me. Why does he have a different uniform? It has no sleeves. Wait. Ivan is coming toward them!
After a short talk, one of them went to the field with Ivan. It was the guy wearing the uniform without sleeves. He was much taller than Ivan and he looked bulked up.
-That must be the Living Zombie! I need to see this!- Said Misha with excitement as he went closer to the place of the upcoming duel.
-Attention everyone! I want everyone to watch this fight closely. Ivan will be fighting against Sebastian from squad PRIME.
All other students began chattering when they recognized squad PRIME. Some were amazed to see them and some began to doubt if Ivan had a chance against someone like them. Especially when there is such a height difference between them.
-You ready kid?- Asked Sebastian.
-Of course, I am!
-Hope you won’t lose the spirit after the fight.
Sebastian stood in place with his hands in his pockets. Ivan was circling him around. He didn’t even look back when Ivan was behind him. He thought he could use that to his advantage and jumped at Sebastian. As soon as he made one step Sebastian turned around and grabbed his fist. No matter how hard Ivan tried to pull his hand away he couldn’t free himself from Sebastian's grasp. He wasn’t even close since Sebastian’s hand didn’t move an inch.
-If that’s your strategy in battle then you die. Break my arm. That’s the only way to escape someone as strong as me.- Said, Sebastian.
Ivan thought that this was only ideal talk but when he looked into Sebastian’s eyes he saw that he wasn’t joking. He truly said that he needed to break his arm. He tried to free himself by pulling away at random times to throw Sebastian off but the grasp reminded the same.
Ivan took one last look at Sebastian’s face and hit him in the arm with his elbow. With the first hit nothing visible happened but when Double Impact was activated, Sebastian’s arm was snapped in half. He broke free from the grasp of his opponent. All students were terrified by that view. Ivan couldn’t believe what he had done and couldn’t stop shaking.
-See. That was easy.- Said Sebastian as he didn’t even budge after having his arm broken.- What’s with that look? Oh right… Normally it would take four months to recover from that. But I’m different.-Sebastian straightened his broken arm and almost in an instant, it healed. He moved it around and clenched his fist to check if everything worked. -See. Good as new.
-What?! What is that power? How did you heal that? Do you have the power to recover faster than the average human?
-Almost. I can manipulate and create new cells. I developed my muscles in a day just by creating them myself. If I want to I can become smaller or much taller. I can change everything in my body and regenerate any lost limbs. That’s why my nickname is Living Zombie. Let’s continue the fight.
Ivan didn’t hesitate anymore with his attacks. He broke Sebastian's ribs many times. Every block ended with a broken arm and even one attack broke his jaw. In the end, Sebastian won without hitting his opponent. Ivan got too exhausted to continue the fight.
-If you're done, that means we can go on a mission.- Said, Tobias.
-Right. When I come back I hope that you’ll become stronger. Make it worth raising my fists.
-I’ll make it worth coming here every day!- Shouted Ivan before collapsing to the ground.
-Good enough that he has a spirit. Anyone else would begin to question their strength but did you have to do it that way?- Said, Tobias.
-Yup. This showed the rest of them that he wasn’t the strongest one in school.
-You always look after others in a strange way.- Whispered the girl from their squad as she hid her face under the cap.
-Misha! Nolan! Take Ivan to the nurse. The rest of you resume training.
