Eldonzo's guards are stronger than he is, and the only way to get rid of them is to kill him. He's an aristo, he says, and they can't kill him because he's not a real human being. He feels like his brain is "filled with an energy" that he hasn't experienced before, and he feels like he'll be reduced to ashes if he doesn't stop fighting. He wants to go to the virtual school to learn how to use his brain.
