"Adele lost consciousness almost instantly. How did Bruce do it?"
Cruno had not expected Bruce to subdue Adele so effortlessly and imperceptibly, either. His own arrival had become somewhat unnecessary, even awkward.
Bruce must have possessed an ability to render someone unconscious in an instant. There had been no fluctuation of Spirituality Power, so it was not an ability associated with his status as an Extraordinary. It was probably a special ability he had acquired after awakening his bloodline.
