Zenatori stares at the huge monsterous figure. It looks at Zenatori and Yachi. Yachi and Zenatori stare at it for a few seconds until it bolts at them.
The Berserker hurls a blow a Zenatori causing him to crash into the wall. Yachi stares in disbelief, she attempts to run but the Berserker grabs her then throws her across the room, making her cough up blood. Zenatori runs towards the Berserker hitting it with a blow causing it to slightly flinch. The Berserker brings his arm pushing Zenatori into the ground while Yachi, incapacitated can only watch in horror. Zenatori uses all his strength to hold the monster off, yelling in pain.
Outside: 11:31 am
Koubaski says in panic,
"Hey Hayoku-sama, you can hear that right?"
Hayoku grins and says,
"I want to see his worth, he'll be fine."
Building room: 11:32 am
Akari runs from outside the corner to aid Zenatori after hearing his screams. She says rapidly,
"Relative Restriction, Modern Manifest: Ice Method."
Suddenly the Berserker gets stabbed by a huge icicle and runs to Akari. Zenatori jumps on its back and constantly sending elbows to its back. The Bersker grabs Zenatori then slams him into ground repeatedly. Akari yells again,
"Relative Restriction, Modern Manifest: Ice Method."
Another huge icicle strikes the automorphs left side, then Akari runs toward it and kicks it causing it to slide against the floor. Zenatori seizes the weakening the spits out a bit of blood and hits the automorph with a powerful blow straight in it's back. He bolts in the air the tornado kicks it straight in its face.
Suddenly the automorph slides back into the wall and yells in anger. It rushes foward grabbing Akari then throws her into the wall causing her to fling far past into the other room. Zenatori wipes blood of his lip as the automorph smiles at him the regenerates all his wounds.
Zenatori thinks in disbelief,
"Automorphs have a decent regenerative healing factor, one stronger than the isotonic vitality method. It did heal it's wounds but it's still taking the physical toll of his wounds not being healed, meaning its weakened. But even with all that in account I'm barely damaging it in general."
Suddenly the automorph runs toward Zenatori grabbing his body tossing him throughout the room like a ragdoll. Zenatori throws up blood then attempts to strike but the automorph grabs his fist and easily crushes his hand destorying all his knuckles, Zenatori can only yell in pain. He then gets hit with a powerful blow flinging him across the room.
Zenatori vomits absurd amounts of blood but readies himself yet again. He runs toward it and thinks,
"This is gonna kill us all if I don't destory it already."
Suddenly a spark flickers from his hand igniting a flame, his veins surge off of pure adrenaline. He then yells,
"YOU BIG BASTARD I WILL DESTORY YOU."
He then remembers what Akari did to that automorph named Mamoru. He yells in all great anger,
"DELIMITED STRIKE!"
Suddenly flames fly throughout his hand combining with the strike, Zenatori has unlocked his syenji, "The Inversed Dragon's flame."
The blow full of rage hurls straight to the automorhs chest. Intially the automorph barely flinches from the blow, but suddenly Zenatori damages his soul as well. It flings through the room crashing into the wall. It runs at Zenatori, and Zenatori yells again,
"Delimited Strike!"
But nothing happens this time Zenatori thinks in fear,
"Does that strike only happen sometimes, could it be luck? It's also possible there's a small window for it."
He is then thrown into the floor while the Berserker is constantly pounding his body making Zenatori spit blood with every blow. The automorph then picks up Zenatori while he is unable to resist.
Yachi can only watch in fear trembling saying,
"Sakatoro-kun, please."
Suddenly Akari says emerging from the other side of the room shakingly,
"Relative Restriction, Modern Manifest: Ice Method."
The move catches the automorph off guard and is suddenly struck right dead in his head. The being then crashes onto the ground and it was defeated. Zenatori falls after it releases his grip, while Akari collapses due to a phenomena called 'Reactionary Fatigue.'
Zenatori feels his vision going black but he says interally,
"No, body don't give out now."
He grabs Akari and hoists her over his back then takes Yachi as well. Yachi says in tears,
"You really are strong, thank you Sakatoro."
He carries them on his back all the way to the front doors grunting in pain with each step becoming heavier than the other. Zenatori starts rapidly shaking as the adrenaline wears off, he says internally,
"It hurts. It hurts so bad. I don't want to do this ever again. Help me someone."
The air begins hitting his battered skin, and the air infiltrates his open wounds, causing a firey sensation. The grunts of pain become yells as he enters a state of nonadrenaline, everything hurts. He opens the doors then instantly collapses.
Hayoku smiles and says,
"Of course he did it."
Koubaski says,
"I don't think the isotonic vitality method can heal broken bones."
Hayoku says,
"It can't but the reactionary vitality method can."
"Hayoku-sama, he needs to be able to do reactionary osmosis to be able to heal someone else with the reactionary vitality method. He's only a first-year!"
Hayoku places his hand on Zenatori and all his wounds begin regenerating. Zenatori bolts up yelling then pattles his body in confusion.
