Chapter 235: Enhancement
Level up Zombie

Based on what he saw, Zain believed that the two of them had the potential to grow, and as a result increase his chance of survival. After all, a group was the basis of survival as each person did what they were specialised at.

Surviving on your own would be difficult no matter who you were, even for him, but the two of them somewhat seemed to rely on him, more so than they realised, and with his split, in a way he was hoping for this to happen.

‘Kun already surprised me with his strength and speed even though hand- to-hand fighting isn't his speciality, but you Pink, you are strong enough to make the system give me a gold card for defeating you. You must have really improved.'

It was a stark difference compared to fighting against Kun, because when the quest popped up for him, to receive a silver award he had to win without the use of his weapons, but here the system just stated that it wished for him to win.

‘Let's trust the system, and not go easy on Pink.' Zain thought as he manifested the two weapons into his hands.

‘From what I remember before, she was a taekwondo expert, so she was good at using her legs. When she absorbed the crystals, she was close to the Enhancement type of zombie as well.'

Taking a look at Pink in the centre though, he noticed that she wasn't wearing her special boots that she had before. Those that would allow her to hide a small blade in the tip. Strangely, she was now just wearing plain trainers for comfort, at least she was until a few seconds ago.

Immediately she started to take them off and flung them to the side, revealing her bare legs, as she continued to wear a skirt.

"Thank you for taking me seriously, after losing my family… I don't want to lose anyone else, and that includes you Zain, so I want to show you how much I've improved."

From the tip of Pink toes, her skin started to change colour, it started to turn black and thicken. The black skin started to shine slightly like a piece of armour and went right up to her knee.

‘This substance around her leg, it looks like the same thing around the Titans, and the same thing that my Titan blade is made out of?' Zain noticed. ‘Is this something she can do now, after absorbing all of those crystals?'

Zain was bang on with his guess, and Wix didn't look too surprised to see this, unlike some of the other Reborn.

‘She can do an enhancement… I was hopeful for her since she seemed to be the most skilled during the training, but this is beyond what I expected. Just what did these guys go through to get so strong on their own. How were they able to find out about the crystal power without anyone telling them?' Wix thought.

Either way, it would mean that now this fight wouldn't be as one sided as the others.

"Let's start this!" Pink shouted, running in. It looked as if she was just going to try her best with her legs, but when she reached Zain, she jumped up in the air and spun her body. She was high up in the air, and the spinning kick went right towards his head.

"If you have that armour on your leg, then I don't have to worry about hurting you, not that I was in the first place!" Zain shouted back, as he swung the Titan machete as well.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

It slammed into Pink's kick, but there was a clear winner when it came to power, Zain's arm was forced into swinging downward. When Pink landed on the floor, she spun her leg across the floor, sweeping it, and hitting both of Zain's legs, causing him to fall on his back.

Standing up, Pink lifted her foot in the air, and swung it down, her heel aiming right towards his chest. Rolling to the side, and kicking off the ground, Zain managed to get back up on his feet to see Pink's heel stuck in the floor right where he was.

‘I lost in a battle of strength?' Zain thought, but calmed himself down as he thought about it more logically. ‘Legs are able to produce far more power than arms in the first place. She also spun in the air giving her more momentum.

‘On top of that, she is an enhancement type. As she absorbed more crystals, her stats were what was going to increase the most. I was foolish to try and go up against her head to head.'

This time, Zain was the one that charged in, after collecting his thoughts. When he was just in range, Pink went to kick his forearm aiming to break them. If she got rid of his arms, then he would no longer be able to use the strange swords that seemed to be just as strong as her legs.

"I have improved in more ways than just my strength!" Zain said, as he leaned back a bit, avoiding most of the weight of the kick, then he swung the Titan sword following the leg just behind it.

[Sword mastery level 4]

Scraping the back of her leg with his weapon, he was able to somewhat parry it and force it where he wanted it to go, lifting her leg from the bottom, he made her go off balance for a second, and in that moment, there was one more thing Zain had on him, the element of surprise.

In his other hand, the white sword had suddenly become a large spear. Pink, this whole time, was keeping her distance away from the swords, but now she had a spear shoved right through her stomach.

"You told me not to hold back." Zain simled.

    Chapter 232 Settling In

    Joining the Reborn group in some way had brought back a bit of normality to Zain, and everyone else's life. They were able to feel safe and not witness what was going on in the outside world.

    At the same time, everyone was learning more about each other. Now that Skittle could speak, often Skittle would speak about stories from when they were at school, or at the University. They were nice to hear, even for Kelly, as she remembered what the school was like, and for Kun it reminded him of his younger days as well.

    Pink was a bit upset, she was younger than the others and hadn't gone to University yet, but with most of her family gone and away from her, she just liked being with everyone else, as this was, in a way, her family now.

    When speaking, there did seem to be one sore subject for Zain though, and it was memories containing Buke. Skittle was still speaking of him quite highly, and although Zain didn't stop him from doing so, he would quiet down once the name was mentioned.

    After all, Zain could only imagine that Buke was out there somewhere walking as a zombie, or more likely having already been killed by those trying to survive.

    Regardless, they focused their time on the Reborn group. The newcomers, as they were described by the other Reborns that were there, spent most of their time together and away from getting to know the others.

    This was quite normal, and nearly everyone did it when they first joined the Reborn group, sticking to those that they did know.

    There was another reason though, since they were newcomers, they didn't get sent on missions so often, or sent out exploring like the other groups. They needed to settle in, and learn more, such as fighting techniques, paths, information and so on.

    In the meantime, Kelly was also constantly being monitored by Sarah. She had told Zain that she wished to solve her problems before getting to the bottom of Zain's visions, and since he hadn't had any in a while anyway, he was okay with that.

    One thing that they did have to take part in with everyone else though was training. There were many types, learning how to build makeshift bombs, how the basics of electronics worked, making a makeshift battery and so on.

    Zain was interested in a lot of it, and Skittle seemed to pick up things to do with electronics fairly easily. Whether it was because his intelligence was now higher, or because he was smart before this he was unsure.

    Out of all the things, there was still one thing that he wasn't interested in, and that was the physical training. A lot of it was conditioning training, to improve one's fitness and there were also combat lessons, but for Zain, the lessons weren't advanced enough.

    It was just a waste of time in his eyes, so he performed the actions half-heartedly, and this had caught the eye of the instructor Wix.

    "You need to put in more effort, Zain!" Wix shouted. "I was told that you were a talented one, that managed to defeat a demon on its own, but if this is all you can do, then I can only guess that you were lucky."

    Wix wasn't a bad person, but his body frame, and military style uniform reminded him a lot of the faceless man, and that was someone Zain didn't like, so at times a bit of his anger would come out.

    The other Reborn had heard the comment Wix had made, and those that had met with demons before couldn't quite believe their ears.

    "That has to be a lie right, he took out a demon on his own?"

    "Is there anyone in the facility that could even do that?"

    "Maybe Mr X, or Sid... not all demons are the same strength but still, if he was able to do something like that, it would make him one of the strongest in here."

    Based on their experience, they could only imagine one of them defeating a demon if it was heavily injured but either way one would still have to be quite strong.

    "I'm sorry, but I don't like to waste my time." Zain replied. "I think it might be better if I was to train on my own, or maybe be allowed to go outside during this time."

    For Zain completing quests was most important for gaining exp, or gaining crystals. The only upside was while he was inside, he was gaining passive exp from the territories he had on the outside.

    "You really think you have nothing to learn from this class, is that what you have observed after these few days?" Wiz asked.

    Zain nodded in response, staying honest, because he really did want to get out of there.

    "Fine, we needed to do this at some point anyway. There will be a change of lesson for today!" Wix shouted to them all. "In this facility it is important to know our place and where we stand in terms of strength.

    "This is a group where you will need to rely on the person by your side, and we need to pick the right people for the right tasks, so it's important we evaluate everyone's strength, so we will have a spar, but you won't be going against each other.

    "Since Zain says there is nothing for him to learn, then you are to show him he is wrong. One by one, use your skills to show to Zain what you have learned in your lessons to defeat him in sparring." Wix smiled.

    "Danny, you're up first"

    A man, with a sleeveless shirt and a bullet proof vest came forward. He had a large bite mark in his arm, where he had been bit. He was also a Reborn student who had been at the facility for a while now, so it was quite clear that Wix wanted to teach him a lesson with the first student.

    [New quest received]

    [Win the sparring match against the Reborn]

    [Reward: Bronze card]

    'Oh, now this might be something worthwhile after all.'

    "Let's hurry this up." Zain said.

      Chapter 233 Mismatch

      The spar wasn't your typical spar and that was because the opponents involved were not normal either. Any use of weapons was allowed apart from guns. Guns in the first place were a weapon that wasn't used by much in the Reborn group and Zain could understand why.

      They weren't effective against demons nor any zombie that was above the 2nd stage. Using them as well would just attract a horde of zombies including the higher stage zombies.

      It was best to train the Reborn to use their new talents. As for why weapons were allowed, it again was to simulate a real battle that they might have. Besides, even if they were injured by having a limb cut off or so, they wouldn't feel any pain, and as long as the body part was still present, it could be reattached.

      After eating some food, the Reborn bodies would start to heal the detached limb. However, if a body part was burnt as such, then they were unable to regrow that part of the body, they could only reattach it.

      This meant there was one more rule as well, no strikes to the head. The last thing Sarah wanted was for the Reborn to kill each other, there were enough creatures and things out there attempting to do that.

      Zain wasn't going to go easy on his opponent who was wielding a large metal rod, in turn Zain had summoned the two weapons to his hands, the two swords that appeared out of nowhere.

      "What the… does he have some type of ability?" The zombies were curious.

      "But, I've never met a zombie with an ability before."

      "I think I have." Another replied. "But they weren't a Reborn zombie, they were one of those Zombie Hunters that had a power before and then they turned, but they still weren't like one of us a Reborn, maybe this guy really is special."

      Zain could hear the others talking, and he felt like there was no need to hide his power, at least this part of it, he still kept the big surprises for emergency situations, such as being able to summon a zombie horde filled with super zombies. Who knew what the future would bring, maybe there would be a time when he would have to go against the Reborn group.

      "The weapons he has in his hands as well, they don't look normal, they almost look like they're out of some video game."

      This comment made Zain inwardly happy the most, he thought the same thing, and he greatly appreciated the fact that there were others who were in awe over them.

      "You should pay more attention, the fight can start at any moment!" Danny launched forward with a long metal rod in his hand, he held it with both hands to get more power in his swing.

      Instead of swinging it from the side like a baseball bat, he had it above his head, like one would do in kendo. Swinging it, he struck diagonally across, but managed to hit nothing but the air.

      "You are a bit too slow." Zain said, as he gave a powerful kick to the side of his legs, one leg crashed into the other that made him topple to his side on the ground. Before he knew it, a heavy weight was on his chest.

      Zain had his knee and whole body weight on top of him, while having the sword pointed at his neck. The fight was over, and it had ended in only a few seconds.

      "Hey, what the hell, how did something like that end so fast?"

      "Yeah, isn't there supposed to be a whole load of swinging, bashing, and punches before it gets to this point."

      The Reborn trainees were confused because this hadn't happened before. Usually, Wix would allow them to spar with those that were the same level or slightly better than them. There was no point getting someone so advanced or above them to fight.

      They wouldn't be able to learn or understand what had happened, but this was exactly what happened when there were two opponents that were no match for each other.

      [Bronze card received]

      [Would you like to use your bronze card]

      [2000 exp points awarded]

      [You have levelled up, you are now level 17]

      Zain had levelled up a few times after defeating the demons, he didn't just get the diamond reward but he had left most of his stat points he had earned unused. So far intelligence had been one of the better ones for him to level up while he was outside.

      This was because it allowed his body to deteriorate slower and seemed to be linked to how many zombies he could control.

      In here though, the horde wasn't with him, it didn't need to be used, and there was no lack of brains he could eat, which is why he had decided to give his stats a little boost in the strength and agility department.

      Strength: 10

      Agility: 10

      Intelligence: 15

      Endurance: 7

      'With my stats now, I'm just as fast as Cobra is as well. It's a shame that they can't fight against these guys here and increase their strength as well. The original plan was to make an unbeatable undead army, and somehow I've ended up becoming the strongest one. Oh well, I can't do anything about it now.'

      "Wix, I'm guessing there are a few more that are still willing to spar me?" Zain asked.

      Out of stubbornness, Wix called out another opponent, and although they had fared a bit better against Zain, it had ended in the same type of defeat. There were three more losses and it meant Zain had gained three more Bronze cards, getting him exp each time.

      'This is crazy, this guy is just as strong as the agents. Other than myself, or those not in the training room, I don't think there is anyone that can beat him.' Wix thought.

      "Is it okay, if we give it a go." Pink said with her hand raised, and Kun was standing by her side as well.

      'Oh, his friends are interested as well, I guess it would be a good chance to see how strong they are as well.' Wix thought, since his original plan of teaching Zain a lesson hadn't worked out, but he needed to look into new things, this wasn't a bad thing… it was a good thing they had someone strong join this time.

      Now, Wix just wanted to know how strong were the others that had joined.

        Chapter 234 Give It Your Best

        The first one to step up toward the centre, was Kun, even though Pink was more eager, but Kun had insisted that he be the one to fight Zain first, because he felt like in terms of combat, he was actually worse than Pink, who was incredibly talented at fighting before becoming a Reborn zombie.

        "My specialty is guns, but the rule states no guns, so I'm just going to have to go with my bare hands." Kun said.

        [Optional quest received]

        [Defeat your opponent: Bronze reward]

        [Defeat your opponent with no weapons: Silver award]

        "I'll be fair, there might be a time where I have no weapons on me, and I will have to use just my fists." Zain said, as the weapons disappeared into his inventory as quickly as they had appeared.

        Those around him were still amazed by this and the weapons themselves, as in the last few fights they had seen, anything the swords clashed against, they would break right through them.

        'If the system has decided to give me a silver reward for defeating Kun, then that must mean it thinks he's a level above all the rest of the Reborn.' Zain thought.

        "Don't think this will be a walk in the park." Kun stated. "While we were separated from you, we did our best to consume and absorb as many crystals as we could find, so you might be quite surprised.

        Kun dashed forward and it looked like he was going for an overhead right, towards Zain's chest, since they weren't allowed to hit in the head. In order to test his opponent's strength Zain wanted to block the hit, but that was when he was suddenly kicked in the stomach instead.

        HIs body slid, being pushed back a little, but Zain was in no pain, when he looked through his guard, he could see that Kun was already keeping his distance.

        'In and out.' Wix commented, watching the fight carefully. 'That and surprise attacks, is the only thing one can do, when the opponent they are going up against is faster and stronger than you. I remember Kun, he was part of the Reborn group like me, so he already knows the standard hand to hand combat basics, but he was never one to excel with them, he was more the type of person to use their head.'

        Zain didn't charge forward, because he thought it would be good for him to learn as well, to see the different ways to fight an opponent. So far he had been fighting, practically monsters, but there would be times where he would have to go against those that were more human.

        Once again, Kun rushed forward this time going for an uppercut towards his ribs. With his new strength he could break them in one hit, and although zombies didn't feel pain, broken bones still affected them.

        Carefully Zain watched the small movements, the twitch of Kun's muscles and could see where the attack was going. Swinging his arm down, with his elbow pointed, Zain mashed it right into Kun's fist.

        A loud crack was heard, his fist was clearly broken, but Kun also didn't feel pain and continued on with the same kick as before, only this time the leg had been caught.

        "I caught you before you could get away!" Zain said, as he pushed forward. He could have easily overpowered him with his strength or charged in with his speed, instead Zain went to throw a punch toward Kun's chest.

        Kun lifted both hands in a cross to block, but a large foot was felt right in his stomach, pushing him over and he could soon see the ceiling above, not only that but his entire body slid across the floor.

        "F*ck!" Kun struggled to say as it felt like his diaphragm had been messed up slightly.

        Zain had tried to hold back, but was caught up in the moment and kicked Kun a little too hard, and it was clear the match was over as Kun didn't get off the floor for a good few moments.

        'Fighting in the open like this is the worst scenario for someone like Kun. His speed and strength is perhaps as good as mine.' Wix thought. 'But he has no talent in putting strength behind his hits. Fighting in a warehouse, a kitchen, anything where he could use the environment to his benefit is where Kun shines, but it's interesting to see someone from the outside that just joined to be this far along in Reborn development.

        'What's crazier is how much stronger this Zain guy is, just how many crystals did he absorb to get this far along. If I was to guess, he has to be similar to a stage 3? Which means he could be hiding a special skill of some sort? And I'm not talking about his little trick to make weapons appear and disappear.'

        [Silver reward has been received]

        [Would you like to use the silver card?]

        [Yes]

        [Reward received: Hand to hand combat Lvl 1]

        Images started to flash in Zain's head of a soldier fighting, it looked a bit like the way Kun fought and what Wix was teaching, but had brillant form. While looking at these movements, his muscles were twitching, trying his best to follow along.

        'That's quite a handy reward, after learning the basics, it's easy to level up the different skills, just like with the sword mastery and gun mastery. This was the type of training I needed.'

        "I guess I'm next." Pink said, walking forward. "And I think it's best if you use your weapons against me."

        There was another reason why Kun wanted to go first. Although the two of them would mostly share crystals, a lot of the time Kun gave his to Pink to use. There were times where he felt he wasn't getting a lot of benefit, while Pink felt like she was close to a breakthrough, and one day that breakthrough had happened.

        She was unable to show her skills against the demon, because she was too distracted, but today she would show her skills.

        [Quest: Defeat your opponent]
