"As the evolutionary representative of terrifying upright apes, the human body held more potential than most animals in the world.
Yet, for the sake of self-preservation, humans sealed away most of that potential.
However, those seals could be lifted under certain circumstances.
For example, a mother trying to save her child from a fall could burst forth with speed greater than that of a professional athlete, endure the gravitational acceleration of falling from a great height, and even a seventy-year-old grandmother could withstand a ten-ton truck for her grandson..."
Watching Sogo Doma fidget around on the hospital bed, Keiryu Doma could not help recalling the doctor's words.
"Do you know what this kind of situation was called in ancient times?" The doctor adjusted his glasses and asked Keiryu Doma.

"In the West, it was called divine possession. In the Celestial Empire, it was known as spirit invocation..."
Keiryu Doma frowned. He had no interest in such mystical nonsense. "Doctor, just tell me plainly. What exactly is going on with Sogo?"

Once that potential is exhausted and those harmful substances begin extensively damaging the body..."
"You bastard..." Keiryu Doma strode forward
