The first clash with the Abominations was brutal. It did not go as badly as it should, thanks to the stern Captain that the trainees had met before. He had come forward when the Abominations were getting close and uttered just a single word.
[Die!]
Countless Rank 2 Abominations died on the spot as his voice reached them. The Aberrations and Abominations of higher rank withstood the effect of the words, but they were not left without injuries. The man also coughed up blood and fell onto one knee, holding his throat. It was his Evolution Ability, where his words affected the world. Some scientist had argued if he was a Savant at the 3rd rank, but no real answer could be given. In the end, he was not affecting the world through Ether manipulation. Later, the definition of Savant changed from 'Affecting the world through Ether manipulation' to 'Affecting the world through any skill that interacted with the ambient Ether.' making him one of the many new Savants.
