Chapter 637 637: Physique
"W-What? His arm…" Utaha gasped. Some people had already closed their eyes.
However, Utaha continued, "Matthew actually failed to cut his arm? Ragna even counterattacked? No. Look at the wound on his arm. What is that?! It's healing at a rapid rate! And without us realizing it, the wound is already closed!"
Hana smirked. "Well, I don't think I should explain it, right, Principal?"
Principal Vhalor smiled wryly. "You're really hiding something like this? I have never seen him fight, so I don't really know, but he… has that physique, huh?"
"Principal Vhalor? Do you know what we're currently witnessing?" Utaha asked in shock.
"It's an extremely rare body condition. This body condition is so absurd that we rarely see them go past 1 year old.
"This physique is so heaven-defying that they call it Time Restoration Body. However, the more formal term for it is autoimmune rickets.
"As you know, rickets is a disease characterized by soft, weak bones due to a deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate.
"However, this one is much more extreme. After being born, due to the deficiency, the baby actually broke their bones once in a while. Some are as rare as a few months, while some are as often as a week.
"There is no cure. However, here is one more peculiar thing from this physique. Their body's recovery and immunity are much more overbearing than even the most malignant tumors.
"Even though their bodies are breaking, their body systems keep healing them. As a result, it's like the baby is dying and reviving again and again during their childhood.
"Still, this deficiency will be gone after they reach 4 years old while maintaining the recovery process.
"And what you see is the power of that recovery. From what I know, there is only one person who manages to overcome that physique.
"I think you're already familiar with him, considering his granddaughter is also in the Libation Fiesta… Not that she participates, though."
"!!!" Utaha widened her eyes in shock. "Are you talking about the world Tier 9 human, Mr. Ezekiel Elseingarde?"
"Yes." Principal Vhalor nodded. "And finally, for the second time in the world, another person with the same body type has been confirmed.
"Although there is another thing that allows Mr. Ezekiel Elseingarde to reach Tier 9, this physique alone will definitely bring Ragna Book to Tier 8. No. He might even be able to become stronger than most Tier 9.
"The Libation Fiesta keeps surprising me." The principal let out a sigh.
The people couldn't help but look at each other.
"There is someone like that?"
"We need some information about him."
"How is he so strong?"
"With that recovery and his skill as a guardian as well as that new beast soul, won't he become immortal in a battle?"
The people finally discovered Ragna's talent for the first time.
"No way. How lucky is the Libation Fiesta to be able to gather all of them?"
They were envious. The Libation Fiesta was definitely a one-of-a-kind party.
Kanaria had shown her cleverness in battle even though her real talent was in logistics. Jay and Erwin hadn't fought yet, while Clovis was known to be even more monstrous than those two.
There were even Christina and Lucifania, while they didn't know much about Melody.
Still, it was clear that the Libation Fiesta was one of the most abnormal groups they had ever seen in their entire life.
And the one who gathered them all was Clovis.
They all turned to the arena one more time.
"Ohhhh! Ragna is finally launching a counterattack!" Utaha shouted.
Ragna thrust his spear in succession. Matthew gritted his teeth while avoiding every thrust before hitting his spear and slashing Ragna.
Just like before, Ragna took the attack head-on and slammed his shield again.
Matthew had to block it, even if it meant getting pushed back. His strength was his deadly speed and unpredictable attack, but for some reason, Ragna managed to overwhelm him.
'What is this? What exactly are you?' Matthew was confused and furious. He never faced such a humiliation before. At the same time, if he couldn't turn the situation around, he would be dead.
As he expected, Carrick's anger almost erupted.
He gripped his couch so hard that it cracked. "You bastard, Ezekiel. You must have known all this and tried to humiliate me."
While it was true that Ezekiel was aware of the Libation Fiesta's true strength, it wasn't like he hadn't taken this into account.
However, there was one thing that confused him the most.
"How in the world is he being pushed back? The gap between Tier 4 and Tier 5 is simply too big. Even if he is able to fight someone above his rank, it shouldn't be like this. Even that physique can't justify it."
That was right. The most confusing thing was actually the power that the Libation Fiesta had. Their physical strength was so high that they were actually similar to Tier 5.
Without this strength, there was no way the Libation Fiesta would have won.
So, he couldn't help but wonder how they got all this strength.
'Something… They must have done something. That's right. Their group is supposed to be discovering the new beast soul… And the way they're able to gather all these people… Something must be going on… Something… No, someone…' Carrick widened his eyes in shock.
His eyes shifted toward the most mysterious man in this group, Clovis.
'Clovis… Familiarity… Have I met him before? An illegitimate child? He must be hiding information. I need to find it. That's right. Ezekiel must be planning to marry his granddaughter to that playboy. His status or uniqueness must not be something we should underestimate.'
Carrick stood up and shouted, "Tesron. Whatever you do, don't underestimate him. The bastard that will be your opponent… He might have a unique ability as well. If he doesn't have that much, that bastard Ezekiel will definitely not send his granddaughter to him."
"!!!" Tesron was slightly stunned and even more shocked when Carrick looked like he was about to leave. "Grandfather… Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find out what secret that brat is hiding." Carrick gnashed his teeth and slammed the door open.
What do you think?
