A young fighter squares off against an opponent who forms living metal armor using a B-rank Metal Control and taunts him as he tries to act like a hero. The armored attacker repeatedly threatens to skewer the challenger while lightning strikes answer their blows; an apparent missed shot turns out to be a setup. A system notice interrupts: 'Deprivation done. Obtained B-rank talent: Metal Control,' confirming the metal user's power and that leveling will be easier. After the exchange, one person asks the other's name, 'I'm Rachel Xavier', leaving the lightning wielder unvanquished and the fight unresolved.
