How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Hiro's heart and lungs are well developed, and he has been blessed with unusually quick reflexes, but he is not intrinsically strong, the way his father was. (24.2)
Our sword-fighting protagonist may not be the strongest guy on the block, but his training keeps him on his toes, and makes sure he gets out of bad situations alive.
Quote #2
As the Crip comes in range, Raven's hand lets go of the throttle for a moment, snaps back as if he is throwing away a piece of litter. His fist strikes the middle of the Crip's face like a frozen ham shot out of a cannon. The Crip's head snaps back, his feet are lifted off the ground, he does most of a backflip and strikes the pavement (19.108).
We're just going to come out and say it: Raven is ridiculously strong. He is such a big dude, there's no way he could be anything but strong. Add in his skill with a glass blade, and he's downright deadly.
Quote #3
"We gave you a priority job this morning. It was real easy. All you had to do was read the f***ing job sheet. But you didn't read it. You just took it upon yourself to make the f***in' delivery on your own. Which the job sheet explicitly tells you not to do." (18.29)
Oh, Jason Breckinridge, you poor idiot—you messed things up big-time by not reading and following the very simple instructions for you. We would think that a skill like "can read and follow directions" would've been acquired by now.
