Level up Zombie

Fingers freed his hands and tried to grab Zain's and attempted to pull them away, but it was clear who was stronger because the latter's grip wouldn't even budge slightly. It was strange because after experiencing death once, Fingers thought he would never have to fear it again.

He couldn't feel pain, but he could tell that at any second, the person in front of him could use the strength in his grip to end it all.

"Zain! Can't you hear me, you idiot?!" Kun shouted, but it didn't look like Zain would even give him the time of day. His head didn't even turn towards the latter.

At that moment, the others had caught up to Kun and could see through the door what was happening. Shark and Pink stepped into the room, seeing that Kun was frozen. As for a reason for this, Kun was worried that he would be on the receiving end of Zain's anger and had seen what he could do.

"Move," Pink said as she pushed him out of the way. Running forward and getting into position, she immediately threw out a kick right towards the back of Zain's head. It was fast, strong, and had perfect form. It was clear she had some type of martial arts experience.

"Protect," Zain said one word, and at that moment, Skittle instantly moved in between the two. He lifted his hand and knocked her leg away. Usually, a kick would be stronger than a strike from a fist, but Pink's leg was knocked back so strongly that her other foot on the ground was partly knocked off balance.

'Did he just…give an order to that Zombie of his?' Shark was more surprised by Zain's actions, 'I thought it was just following him around.'

"Zain, you just woke up, right? Fingers was just looking over you, making sure you were okay. Did you have a bad dream or something? We can work this out." Kun pleaded.

It was then that the leader of the Reborn group, Shark, walked forward while cracking knuckles and twisting his neck. Although it hardly did anything in his current state, it was a habit for him, a habit from his past.

"If you don't let him go, then your little friend will get hurt instead!" Shark shouted out as he went to throw out a punch.

Skittle did the same thing. He went to knock it away, but rather than a punch, Shark, had gone and grabbed his arm. Then, lifting him over his shoulder, he threw Skittle to the ground.

However, Skittle was a Zombie and didn't feel any pain. Instead, he got up quickly, and it looked like he was ready to attack until Zain gave another order.

"Stop," He ordered.

When Fingers got out of the grip, he fell to the floor and desperately started to crawl on the floor toward the others.

Shark had again thrown out a punch, but Zain had grabbed him by the wrist, pulling him forward and going for another punch of his own. Shark moved his head, avoiding the hit, and then bumped into Zain with his whole shoulder hitting him back.

Zain stumbled backwards a little but could see that kicks were coming his way, he blocked one with his right arm, and another blocked with his leg, then lifting his knee, he threw two punches back, but it had hit nothing but air.

"I'm not as easy as those others, am I?!" Shark shouted as he threw a fist and hit Zain right on the shoulder, sliding him a little across the ground. Just then, Shark heard a crack.

'This guy is skilled. Is he really a student? Either way, I could feel that his shoulder should be broken.'

It was then that something strange happened. Zain's arm looked hurt, but the next second, a few popping sounds resonated through the room as his body started to heal, and his arm was back to normal as he took a fighting stance once again.

"It looks like that super healing power you have is real after all. This is going to make things more difficult." Shark smiled.

Meanwhile, Zain was looking at his opponent in front of him, and all he could see was a person with no face.

'I'm still not out of that place… I'm still in that vision, I have to get out of here…I have to survive.'

It was then that Zain pulled out the knives from his belt and held them both in his hands.

"Well, now this has seriously gotten dangerous." Fingers said.

"You, what did you do? Why is he like this?" Kun asked. Although Kun thought Zain had a screw loose here or there, he seemed like a good person. At the same time, there weren't many of them in this world, he just wished they could all get along. Was that too much to ask?

"Me? I mean, I was just checking out the Zombie. He was just standing in the room, staring at Zain, so I was trying to see if I could get a reaction from him, so I was touching him." Fingers replied.

"Well, keep your long dangly fingers to yourself next time!" Kun blurted, "Of course, if he just woke up and saw a creep like you doing that, he would be worried. Apologise!"

Although Fingers didn't think he had done anything wrong, he didn't want the leader to get hurt, so he turned.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for touching your zombie!"

"Friend, friend, and his name is Skittle!" Kun explained.

Zain was ready to go in again and ran forward with both knives in his hand, but Shark looked ready as well.

"I'm sorry I tried touching your friend Skittle!" Fingers shouted.

The next second and Zain had stopped. He was around a meter away from Shark, and after a moment, he placed his hands to his side and put away the knives.

"What…I can see your face. You're Shark." Zain muttered in confusion. "Wait, I'm back."

Looking around the whole room, Zain could tell from the look on the others' faces he certainly was back.

Although the situation had calmed down, something like this happened for the first time in the Reborn group, and they needed to decide what to do next.
