"Now, we can't control the minds of the zombie, so we can't determine how it'll react, it's best we steer clear." Mr. Muzuki said, he didn't want anyone killed for no reason.
The chains were still attached to the zombie but they had been severely loosened, this was to prevent the zombie from running away.
Kenji didn't even wait for the zombie to attack, he drew his sword and charged forward, making sure not to use his full speed.
[Vantage Sight activated.]
Kenji could see the outline of the zombie swinging it's claws and tearing out a piece of his chest and he reacted accordingly.
As soon as the zombie swung out it's arms, Kenji ducked, allowing the claws to go past his head.
With the opening created, Kenji stabbed his sword into the zombie's stomach, creating a deep cut and making some of the zombie's guts spill to the floor.
As quickly as Kenji had opened the wound, it healed back up, Kenji already knew this would happen and frankly, he was counting on it.
[Mana Fist activated.]
An invisible layer of Mana coated Kenji's hands, boosting it's speed and power. Kenji crashed his fist into the zombie, sending it flying.
Kenji wanted to make an impression that showed he was a little powerful but not too powerful, so as to avoid any suspicion.
The zombie charged towards Kenji with it's arm flailing around like a child but Kenji didn't dear move.
The zombie leaped into the air but still Kenji didn't move from his spot, he took in a deep breath and using vantage sight, he positioned his sword perfectly.
Kenji stabbed into the head of the zombie, but the zombie was still very much alive and Kenji was aware of that.
The zombie planted a kick on Kenji's face, sending him flying and blood spilling out of his mouth.
[-5 HP.]
'Crap.' Kenji thought to himself, sure he had foreseen the zombie's kick and allowed it to hit him but it still stung.
He couldn't just defeat a level 2 zombie without taking a hit of his own, Mr.Muzuki would definitely suspect.
Kenji remained on the floor unmoving, the frequent rising and falling of his chest was enough to tell people that he was alive.
'Did he just pass out?' Zack thought, he knew Kenji was better than anyone else, an attack as weak as that shouldn't even be enough to put a scratch on him.
The zombie charged towards Kenji's unmoving body with excitement on it's face, finally after days of starving, it had seen a human to eat.
The zombie leaped into the air, ready to pounce on the innocent Kenji who laid below it helplessly.
As soon as the zombie was close enough, Kenji rolled out of the way, causing the Zombie to crash into the ground.
Kenji got back on his feet and without wasting a second, he activated one of his skills.
[Mana Slash activated.]
[No ability has been paired with Mana slash.]
A full blue glow coated Kenji's sword and in one swift strike, he split the zombie in two, making sure to cut it's brain and heart in the same attack.
[Level 2 zombie has been killed.]

"Woah, he's really powerful." Another boy said, Kenji's mastery over the sword and genius intellect were enough to make him see what Kenji could do in real life.
"Impressive." Mr. Muzuki said with a smile on his face, he was really impressed that Kenji attacked the zombie with such a nice plan instead of attempting to just power through it.
"Thank you." Kenji said with an uncaring look on his face, he needed to try and frustrate Mr. Muzuki.
"So, am I promoted?" Kenji asked, he was only doing this so he could get promoted.
"Sure, take him to the next level." Mr. Muzuki said and a few gang members escorted Kenji away.
"You can keep the blades, there's no need to return them." Mr. Muzuki said, Kenji had impressed him enough.
Kenji nodded his head, he was a little surprised but didn't want to let it show; to him, Mr. Muzuki had just pulled off a stupid move.
"Those are the only people who would be getting a promotion today, the next slot will be open in a week, go back to your rooms for now and wait for my orders." Mr.Muzuki said, souring the mood of the boys.
Many of them wanted to test if they could defeat a zombie as easily as Kenji did and get a quick promotion.
But the most annoyed person was Zack, Zack was frustrated that he wouldn't be seeing Kenji for a week.
Sure, Kenji was an asshole who oftentimes acted like he had no value for human life but every move Kenji had made during the short period of time of them being together was always for the good of the team.
'If Kenji doesn't come up with something in the next 1 week, I'm breaking out of this hellhole myself.' Zack thought angrily, he was sure that if he caused enough discord then others would rise and join him, but he couldn't ensure their survival.
Mr. Muzuki stood at the center of the wide field with some gang members, and anyone who saw him would see the serious look written on his face.
"What's wrong boss?" One of the gang members asked with a confused look on his face, their boss was smart enough to get them out of all situations, so why did he look so worried.
"That Haruta boy, we need to investigate him, did you see the way he toyed with that zombie?" Mr. Muzuki asked rhetorically, anyone who had an above average IQ would have known Kenji was trying to make the fight lol difficult.
"Sir, he was also the one who killed a zombie this morning with a single punch." The gang member said and Mr. Muzuki's eyes widened in shock.
"We need to kill him." Mr. Muzuki said.
