The students of Master Torino sat silent, frozen in fear.
Chilled by the cries of Rugi's experiments just a few feet below.
Yet despite their ignorance, Torino knew all.
All that happened in the crimson drenched basement.
His own friends pinned against the walls by chains and nails.
Their limbs torn and reshaped.
Guts mangled and tossed out for all to see.
Suffering from a lack of any food, water and even their own blood many struggled to keep consciousness for even a few seconds.
Energy sparking from Rugi's instruments, in sync with the whimpers of the near deceased.
But despite his friends' agony Torino struggled to find a reason to bring an end to the experiments.
Rugi began to perform his latest experiment, burrowing his hand straight into a teen's chest.
Grasping a hold of his spine and with each finger wrapped around the bone Rugi tore it out in one go.
Ripping all of their organs out with it and eventually his remaining skeleton.
And as the Human died instantly, Rugi continued his experiment a wicked grin growing even wider.
Slamming the deceased's skeleton onto the nearby table Rugi began to pour meteorite shaping it around the Human's skeleton.
"Another failure" Rugi evaporated the crushed skeleton.
Speaking with a frightening sense of tranquillity "I've got a job for you Torino go find me something stronger, something I can use to continue my experiment, something inhuman".
Going against the disgust within his heart Torino obeyed Rugi as if he were just a puppet.
Carrying himself up the basement stairs Torino caught a glimpse of a terrified Shirogane, caught in shock by Rugi's experiments.
But Torino's shame grew even stronger as he abandoned the young Zeon in his time of need.
"Fuck, why why did they have to appear now of all times".
"I've got a job for you Torino go find me something stronger, something I can use to continue my experiment, something inhuman" ran through Torino's mind and before he knew it he arrived upon a nearby village devasted by something inhuman.
Something stronger.
Kiren.
Death stained the ground and air at the same time, enraging the master of Earth.
Giving Torino all the reasons he needed to push past his gut and delve into hate.
Hate for the Kiren that disrespected the very same families that he did just hours ago.
Giving no chance for the superior race to realise his presence Torino began to charge a release of energy.
Violent winds carried the sand as Torino reached nighty percent completion of his major release.
Following Torino's increased aura came his veins pulsating with energy.
And finally sparks of energy gathered, forming a ball just inches from Torino's chest.
Now with the completed release in hand Torino took a step back, digging his feet into the sand.
Launching the sphere straight towards the unsuspecting Kiren, giving them zero time to react.
Proving that even a lowly Human can rise above their weakness.
And as the Kiren came into contact with the release their newly received wounds soon became fatal.
Hours passed...
And with those hours came the appearance of multiple Kiren corpses.
Ready for Rugi to finalise his experiment with.
