@mcpop9As he was pushed back by the GN field burst he comments: "Yes. I can tell." He lowers his unit and bends down... then he purges the top half of his unit from the bottom, which recieved the burst from the Gatling lasers. As the top half comes in, he swings the Jitte part of the rifle horizontally and pierces into the Guntank Block's right Gatling arm, and then with the gun facing the shoulder part, fires a round at point blank range, just about shooting off one of the cannons. He lets out a battle cry as he uses the right arm of his Gunpla to swing down its beam saber...
"Just like... with him..."
*Several flashbacks shown of his own battle with someone he trained in the labs. A hard struggle...
*Back at the first day of the summer academy by the lake*
Alex: "Astrid? You knew him?"
Satsuki responds: "Yes. He was gifted. Someone who was able to see and understand things that others could not. Like a sixth sense. Sounds familiar?"
Alex didn't know what to say, so Satsuki continues: "After the tournament, he told me about a young boy who he lost too, who was special. And I could see why. You are gifted, but there is still so much more that you need to learn. And I know there are people here who can help."
*Back to the battle*
Though his saber had made contact, his unit had also received a direct hit.
