Seiya - Mimicing Duplication

The  dragonewt  Paradura  laughs  in  spite  of  his  crucifixion.  His  tail  squirms about, then immediately another small dragon drops to the floor as if he had just shed his skin. The dragon pinned to the pillar withers away, but the one on the floor cheerfully raises his head.

“Seiya?! Is it just me, or did you shrink?!”

“Technically, I’ve separated myself.”

“Huh?!”

I jump...because I hear the same voice talking to me from behind. I swiftly turn around to find another Seiya standing behind me! And he’s just as small as the other one! As my lips quiver, the two Seiyas stand side by side before me. Then in the blink of an eye, they become a blur as if I were seeing double, only to have separated once more! Each one of the four Seiyas is shorter than the last two and reach only my waist.

“Wh-wh-wh-wha—?!”

Even Cerceus’s jaw drops as he stands by my side. He asks:

“S-Seiya... Did you copy that dragonewts’ skill?!”

“I  used  Mimic  to  memorize  it  a  moment  ago.  While  I’m  limited  to  three minutes each time I use Mimic, I can maintain this without using the move until then.”

“I still can’t believe you can Mimic such a move...”

“It appears that while I can Mimic it, I can’t turn into a small dragon like him. But I can Mimic the skill to divide myself. It’s quite interesting.”
