Sitting in a meditation position, I kept my eyes closed as I regulated my breathing, my mind completely blank as I entered a completely calming trance state.
After returning from the well, I started thinking about the actions I had taken since I had arrived in the Rikuko district. Killing was a line I hadn't thought of crossing any time soon, but what I had seen in the eyes of the people in the bar had awakened something in me that I had trouble controlling, a feeling of rage that made me want to slaughter them until not a single atom of their bodies remained. This feeling became even more chaotic when I found Kou being attacked by the two Elites, and for a moment I was completely controlled by this, until I was able to regain consciousness.
I had no aversion to killing, and I really had no problem doing it since I came to this place. Rapists and psychopaths, who had no pity even for children, should not live in this world, that's what I believed.
But such a chaotic feeling, which was able to control my body, was not something I could ignore. I didn't want to become someone like Yujiro Hanma, a murderer, psychopath and rapist, who would kill anyone who bothered him, and rape a man or a woman on a mere whim. Even his son, Baki Hanma, could be controlled by murderous thoughts, as had happened in his fight against Muhammad Alai Jr.
I didn't want to become someone like them. If I had to kill, I had to do it in full awareness of what I was doing. To imagine myself losing control and going on a massacre was something that terrified me, because I wasn't sure I could stop myself from attacking innocent people.
I still had limits, limits that not even someone like Yujiro Hanma could make me cross.
Coming out of my meditative state, I opened my eyes, asking for the window of my status to be opened with a single thought.

'[Evolution] is amazing... It's like an epiphany, which allowed me to completely understand the rhythm and combat style of that two in an instant. I believe that with enough time, I can unravel anyone's style.' I thought as I watched the skill in question.
The ability was simply broken, and I was not ashamed to admit it. It was no surprise that Kanoh was a monster. It was an ability that Kanoh and I now shared, and I felt proud to know that I had awakened it through my own efforts... Actually, I wasn't sure about that, but from the system message, it didn't seem to be a gift.
Closing the window in front of my eyes, I looked around the infirmary. Two days had passed since the well, my only significant movement being to go to the "Zone Leader's" building just to memorize his location. Since then, I had kept myself at rest to recover from my skull damage, which by the way, was much better. In addition, I paid a visit to the bar where I met Kou, stealing several supplies that were lying around. Luckily, the warehouse had an iron door, which prevented from the residents from stealing everything, but it turned out not to be a problem for me.
The state of the pharmacy was something that bothered me, so after asking Kou about why not clean the place, she just stared at me for a few seconds before responding with, "Waste of energy."
I didn't really get frustrated by this, since the girl didn't have a good diet, and any energy in her body was valuable for her survival in that place. Still, this didn't take away the discomfort I felt from the completely dirty place, so I took the time to make it pleasant by cleaning it everywhere.
'Come to think of it, I haven't really had much rest time.' With a sigh, my eyes moved to my side, landing on a little girl who was in lotus position, her eyes forcefully closed as she pouted, clearly in a failed attempt to imitate my meditation.
My relationship with Kou was progressing rapidly. Since I arrived in this place, I was like a guardian for the girl, never letting her get into difficulties, even though the injury to my head made it difficult for me to move around with her. I still remembered her extremely happy expression as she ate the corned beef I had picked up from the bar, which had put me in a good mood for the entire day.
She was a smart girl, and her potential kept catching my attention, as it was a level I hadn't seen yet, and if I had to give a guess , then it would be below only Kanoh's AX.
Seeing her look of admiration that she constantly gave me, I believed that I could teach her a few things without any problems, and I was really curious to know how quickly she would absorb my teachings.
'But for now, I'll leave that for another day.'
My current plan was to recover and pay a visit to the "Zone Leader", maybe steal his belongings and give him a proper treatment, since letting babies and children die of thirst just for a selfish project was not pleasant in my eyes.
But before that, I would gather information, mainly about s Elites , since I didn't want to face the "Administrators" ignorant about who their strongest pawns were. The sixth and seventh were a problem for me only because of their short and long distance attacks, which prevented me from moving properly, but physically, they were weak, except for the strength of the lout, who seemed to overcome me by a small margin.
If among the Elites, there was someone dangerous like Setsuna, I wanted to be prepared.
Watching Kou struggling to keep his eyes closed, I cracked a small smile, his expression bringing amusement to me.
'I won't think about it for now.'
