A little while prior, when Lia and Leo went to the academy, leaving Noel and Kil behind.
Seeing that Lia was safe, Noel was reassured and turned his attention back to Kil. The soldiers scattered around, not interfering with their fight. This was Noel's opportunity. Kil was hurt and still hasn't been able to heal. Noel needed to finish this quickly.
Not even waiting for Kil to open his mouth, Noel rushed forwards forming a power orb with his hand. There were no zombies to buff and Noel was sure there would never arise a chance where he could help Lia, so instead Noel focused on his copying abilities. He could copy and store up to 5 abilities before he had to erase one if he wanted to copy a new one.
Obviously, since Noel didn't have his own attack power, he copied Xavi's by taking a bit of his lifeforce.
