Synopsis

The chapter reveals Malone possesses a powerful lightning-based trait, despite previously only showing a coercion ability. He overwhelms Julian with this new power, disregarding training and the reputation of their family. Julian, though badly hurt, is saved by his classmates, who are evacuated by a teleporting friend and an old man who set up a barrier to limit the area, giving Julian and his brother room to strategize. They devise an alternative method for using Julian's finishing move, the Absolute Sword Slash.
