The paramedics rush into the room and put the two unconscious kids onto stretchers, carrying them out of the room. "Should we be cautious of 1 and 17, 0?" Teika asks, "Nah, we could easily take them." Atar responds.
McCloy reads the next piece of paper, "0! And… 52… Oh God…" A fat kid climbs in the ring, Atar cracks his knuckles, "This will be fun." the fat kid starts crying as McCloy shouts "GO!".
Atar wastes no time, he closes the gap quickly and throws a jab, it connects with the fat kid's face, his neck snaps back, and breaks in half. The kid falls on the ground, dead. "Weakling."
McCloy gave no scores on that fight.
After the paramedics deal with the kid, and declare him dead, 42 was put in the ring with Atar. "GO!" "Stay away from me!" The girl screams, "Don't worry, it'll be quick." Atar charges forward, as if a predator chasing its prey. He tries to grab her, but she jumps out of the way, "Get back here!" He grabs her by the collar of her shirt.
Atar charges up a massive punch, "P-please…" Atar slams his fist into her face. She falls onto her knees, blood streaming from her nose and mouth, she just stares at the ceiling. "What? Are you giving up!" Atar mockingly asks, "N-No…" She blurts out, as she tries to stand up.
"Good job!" Atar says as he charges back in, he goes for another punch, "STAY AWAY!" She screams as she throws a wild punch at Atar, her fist envelops in a blue glow, and her fist connects with his face. Atar crashes into the wall, unconscious.
"0!" Teika shouts out, everyone looks at 42, bewildered. "Well done 42! Unlocking Heat this early is unprecedented!" McCloy shouts out, "You will be moved up to the next phase!" Men in black suits charge in and grab her and take her away, as well as paramedics taking Atar away.
"Number 0 gets a 4/10!"

Xavier wakes up in the Medic Bay, seeing all of the other unconscious kids in beds around him. "Hey, 1." A familiar voice says, Xavier finds that the source of the voice was 17. "Just so you know 1, I'm gonna fight you and win after we heal." Before Xavier could respond, the maid came in with a bucket of water, "Stop bickering boys!" she says as she kneels down next to Xavier. She grabs a wet towel and places it on Xavier's forehead. She rummages through her bag and grabs a bottle of pills, she shakes some out and places 3 on the bed side table. She pours water into the glass, "Now, listen here boy, take those! I'm tired of you lot not taking your pills." She screams, clearly angry. "O-ok ma'am." Xavier responds.
She moves over to 17, doing the same process. "NURSE! I'M REALLY SORE! YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME EXTRA SPECIAL ATTENTION!" Atar, who is now awake, shouts out. "Alright alright I'm coming!" She spends 15 minutes hovering over him, checking for how he could be sore, "Oh I don't know how you hurt so much sonny. Tell me if it gets worse." She says as she leaves the medbay.
"Pervert" Xavier says, "What? Why are you calling me a pervert?" "Because you don't have anything wrong with you! You just wanted to stare at her cleavage!" Xavier explains, "Well… That's not totally wrong." Atar jokes.
"Stop messing around!" 17 shouts out, "You better be prepared 1! That was a stain on my honour, I will kill you!" "I'd like to see that happen, I'm sure heaven's better than this dump." 17s face goes red, clearly annoyed and angered. "Hey man, lighten up, seriously, this place is wayyy better than where we came from before."
"Fuck you man!" 17 shouts, seething, Xavier pays no attention to him and turns over to Atar, "hey where's Teika? Is he here?" "Who's Teika?" "2." "Oh, I have no clue, I've looked for him but I don't think he's here."
1:02 PM 17th December 1951
Snow Falls around the N A P H Compound, and Atar and Xavier go out to the garden to look for Teika. The search holds no success, but number 23 runs up to them, "Why are you out here 1?" he asks, "Is there a problem with my being out here?" Xavier asks back, "Haven't you heard?" Xavier shakes his head. "Number 17 has put out a hit on you." Xavier's jaw drops, "Don't you have to receive payment for stuff like that?" Atar asks, "He will pay people in Special Combat Training."
Xavier straightens up, "Surely the guards won't allow this!" Xavier shouts, "They don't care what happens outside of lessons, they only need to ensure you don't escape." "Wait, so we can just kill each other?" "Yes, 0 over here already killed 52." Atar scratches his head and looks at the ground guiltily.
"There he is!"
The group look behind themselves to see two kids, 15 and 41 running at them. "You gonna fight with me, you two?" "Yeah." Atar says, "Sorry, 1, I'm not the fighting type." As soon as 23 says this he runs away. Xavier and Atar put their fists up.
"Get over here!" Xaviers head is flung into the floor, Atar looks at the perpetrator, Number 4. "A three on two? Seriously?"
