Leon opened his eyes. He woke up in the sa room as Clyde earlier. He wanted to sit up imdiately but the straps and shackles kept him lying in place.
Leon frowned because he felt like a madman in the asylum. Exactly how Clyde felt when he first woke up.
"What the fuck is going on? Where am I?"
Leon cast his eyes around but he only saw an empty room with nothing to give any sign of his whereabouts.
"Excuse !" Leon shouted. "Is anyone there?"
Monts later Jas ca through the door. The bespectacled youth stared at Leon with a surprised expression on his face. But then he imdiately smiled, though it was an awkward-looking smile.
"Hi, how are you?" Jas asked while walking towards the bed where Leon was lying.
"Uhm, I don't know how to answer you," Leon said.
"Ah, don't worry. It's fine," said Jas.
'Then why did you bother asking?' Leon thought in a slightly irritated tone.
Jas picked up what looked like a clipboard and looked at Leon from head to toe. His eyes that were behind the glasses looked lit up when he saw sothing that Leon couldn't see.
For this, Jas didn't need to use his abilities because he knew that Leon had not reached the sa stage of healing as Clyde at that ti.
After a mont Jas nodded, as if satisfied with what he had seen. Leon can't help but ask.
"How is my condition?"
Leon knew that Jas had just examined him using only his eyes. He didn't know how it worked but it didn't matter because Leon saw Jas nodding in satisfaction, so he was most likely fine. But he still had to ask.
"You're fine. Just need a little rest," said Jas. Then he chuckles. "I'm not too surprised by your speedy recovery since I've seen soone with a more shocking recovery."
Leon frowned. "What do you an?"
"You know, Clyde. The man who ca with you is now recovered. Even now he's probably doing training in the plains."
Leon ca to a realization. Suddenly his brain, which had only been thinking about his situation and the straps pressing against his body, now rembered what happened before coming here.
'I almost died that ti. Then, the man with the dark purple coat ca to save us.'
Jas noticed the look on Leon's face that looked dazed as if he was rembering sothing important.
"You don't need to worry. Here, you are safe," Jas said with a smile. "My na is Jas, by the way."
"Jas!" Leon said, suddenly. "You know where the man who was saving us is?"
"Oh, he's away right now," said Jas.
"I want to thank him. We owe him our lives," Leon said.
Jas smiled. "We all owe our lives to soone in this fortress. And you don't need to worry about that because you will have a good chance to thank him later."
Leon looked at Jas questioningly. "Fortress?"
"Yeah." Jas nodded. "I know there's a lot you don't understand."
Jas took a chair and sat beside Leon's bed. "I'll explain as best I can."
Jas started telling him about this fortress and everything he needed to know. At that ti, the other mbers of Leon's group began to regain their consciousness one by one.

anwhile, Clyde, who was still in the plains, had begun to grasp the power of lightning in his hands. Just like before when he wanted to use his fire power, Clyde only needed to concentrate a bit.
A mont later he felt a tingling all over his body. It's different from his previous fire power which is [Skill: Burning Hand] which ans fire only appears in his hands. [Skill: Pure Lightning] enveloped his whole body when he used it.
Several people who realized that turned to Clyde with eyes full of amazent.
"Is that lightning?"
"Yes. It's fucking lightning."
"Wasn't the last ti he had the power of fire? The last ti he fought with the power of fire with Nikos."
"Well, he definitely has an affinity for one more elent."
When they talk, lightning starts to appear around Clyde's body. Nikos was there, being one of the people looking at Clyde.
"Hey, Nikos. Do you want to challenge him again?" one mber of his group asked with a mocking tone. Those words were greeted with laughter by the other group mbers.
Nikos, who was with his group mbers, already knew that they would tease him about this. It can't be helped since he himself started the problem.
"Fuck you, man. Why don't you try fighting him yourself and then let's see if you can still laugh like that after that," said Nikos with an irritated tone that was clear in his voice.
"Ha! I'm not stupid enough to do that like you."
Then, his other friends responded with the sa laughter. Nikos actually realized his stupidity at that ti.
He thought himself to be one of the strongest people in this place.
He genuinely thought that he was indeed strong because he had once fought Samuel and he said that he had a good affinity and Mana control.
It made him feel a little bit arrogant. However, he was suddenly humbled by that newcor.
Nikos couldn't even feel anger or grudge towards Clyde because he realized the difference in their strengths. That did not allow him to feel that he could take revenge.
So Nikos didn't. Even he knew at that mont Clyde only used a little effort to beat him.
Nikos felt that if Clyde knew he was planning revenge, Clyde would not hesitate to roast him alive.
"Let's restart our training." Nikos thought there was no point in thinking about Clyde anymore. He thought that not getting involved in any longer business or animosity with Clyde was the wisest choice he could make.
And after all, Clyde can beco an additional force in this fortress to deal with threats that co and plan attacks on the Celestials.
Just as they were about to restart their training, they heard a distinctive sound of rustling thunder. Then, flashes of lights on a bright sunny day appear.
This shocked everyone on the plains and made them all turn to look at Clyde, who was the source of all the commotion.
*JZZZRRRTTT!!!*
*CHYUUUTT!*
Bluish-white lightning flashed and shot from around Clyde's body. The lightning whipped wildly around and sent grass and pieces of earth flying.
Clyde felt a surge of lightning power in his body just like when he had felt it on the Selection Stage. But he felt that the power of the lightning was not as strong as before.
'What happened? Is it because I just started using it now?'
He didn't feel the sa about his fire power. Back then he could use that fire power with the sa power as in the Selection Stage.
However, Clyde didn't think too much about it and continued to practice using his lightning powers.
He was sure that with ti and the more he used it his lightning powers would get stronger.
There was a big tree located not far from where he stood. He dashed towards the tree with the power of his lightning allowing him to get there in the blink of an eye.
