Chapter 59 - Tears

"I really miss this place, three weeks is just way too long." Adam smiled as he stands right in the middle of the Playground and looked around towards the chaotic place that was filled with shouts, screams, explosion-like sounds, and many more wild sounds.

A couple of contestants who have different animal masks walked past Adam who was still smiling wide while taking a deep breath. He looked towards his right side and stared towards a long red metal staircase. Adam slightly bends his knees and ran towards it as fast as he can.

Adam ran up the red staircase as fast as he can and instantly stopped right in front of the Obstacle Course. He quickly looked inside the Obstacle Area and saw Bunny who was avoiding a couple of small concrete blocks while quickly shooting her darts towards it "Bunny? She already here this early?"

"Good morning Bunny!" Adam shouted while waving towards Bunny as he walked inside Obstacle Area. Bunny quickly turned her head towards Adam and instantly jumped backward out from her small circle platform and all of the concrete blocks stopped in their place.

"Hey there Lion! Give me a second to breathe." Bunny sighed while wiping the sweat on her face and looked towards Adam who was walking towards her. She puts down the large pink bag that was on her back to the ground and quickly stretched her back.

"It's still pretty early in the morning and you look really tired already, what time did you come here Bunny?" Adam asked as he stopped right beside Bunny who quickly looked towards him.

"I came here at four in the morning and right now it's almost eight which means I have been training for four hours straight," Bunny explained while looking towards her pink watch that was on her left hand.

"Four hours straight?! You should rest now Bunny don't push yourself too hard." Adam said while looking towards Bunny who quickly shook her head.

"No no I'm not pushing myself too hard I haven't even pushed myself. I have to train this hard because I don't want to be a burden to you and Bull plus I have to push myself way harder than now." Bunny explained and quickly smiled towards Adam.

"You're not a burden to us Bunny you were a tremendous help for us in the second game so don't think about it that way. If you weren't with us in the game I'm sure we would've died in there, trust me." Adam explained and smiled towards Bunny.

"And the problem is not you, it was me. I wasn't fast enough in the game things wouldn't go that bad if I was faster. That's why I'm here to train my hardest to become faster." Adam said while clenching his right fist as hard as he can.

"But I want to-"

"Good morning Lion! You already got discharged from the hospital? Why didn't you tell me about it I should've picked you up from the hospital!" Kaito waved towards Adam while holding a large red duffel bag in his right hand and walked towards Adam and Bunny.

"Good morning sir! Sorry, I forgot to tell you about it I was discharged yesterday, sir." Adam said while looking towards Kaito who slowly walked towards him.

Adam quickly turned his head around towards Bunny who was behind him as she looked towards him "So what were you about to say there Bunny? I didn't hear it."

"Oh nothing it's nothing just forget it, I'm going back to train now talk to you again later." Bunny slowly walked backward and quickly turned around. She ran back into her Obstacle Course and quickly jumped inside her large circle.

"So Lion what are you doing here? Shouldn't you should stay back at your apartment to take more rest?" Kaito asked as he stopped right behind Adam and puts down his heavy duffel bag to the ground.

Adam quickly turned around and looked towards Kaito "Oh no sir the doctor told me that I can go straight to exercise now and they actually suggested that to me this time, they told me that as soon as I left the hospital I should go workout right away."

"Really? That's very weird so do you want to train right now?" Kaito asked while looking towards Adam who quickly nodded.

"Yes sir but I need your help, sir. I want to get faster with this gem should I change my training?" Adam asked while looking down towards his belt.

"How much weight do you have on you right now?" Kaito asked while looking towards Adam.

"I have four hundred on right now sir it's a little bit lower than my usual weight of four hundred and fifty because I just got out from the hospital I don't want to go back there straight away," Adam explained.

"So you've gone that heavy okay that's really good Lion. Now can you show me how do you turn on your belt?" Kaito asked while pointing towards Adam's belt and Adam quickly nodded.

"Yes, sir I can do that." Adam quickly standstill in place and took a deep breath as his gem starts to light up on its own and his watched beeped and flashing bright green with fifty times written on it.

"Oh wow you can actually turn it on command now great job Lion and that's is on fifty can you maintain that?" Kaito asked while looking towards Adam who opened his eyes.

"Yes sir I think I can manage this but, I think I can go higher than this let me try to go to one hundred sir." Adam closed his eyes back as his watch instantly beeped and flashed bright green with one hundred times written on it.

"Nice that's one hundred so you can maintain that?" Kaito asked.

"Yes, sir I'm sure I can maintain this for a long time." Adam looked towards Kaito and slowly waved his legs and hands around.

"Okay, I think you can just do the same training that you have been doing but keep increasing your weight and try your best to keep increasing the power of the gem," Kaito explained while looking towards Adam who quickly nodded.

"I'll make your course for you from now because you will be way faster and you need the special concrete for it," Kaito said as he puts both of his hands inside his red jacket pockets.

"Ugh, where am I?" Bull slowly opened his eyes and looked straight ahead towards the roof of the room that he was in. He opened and closed his eyes a couple more times and took a deep breath.

Bull felt an itch on his forehead and slowly moved his hand towards it. He quickly scratched the top of his head for a couple of seconds and sighed "Ah yeah that feels great, wait for a second!"

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Bull quickly turned his head towards his right side and saw the door opened on its own. Micheal Angelo slowly walked inside the room and saw Bull who was staring towards both of his hands which were made out of deep dark purple metal.

"Oh! You have regained your consciousness good evening Bull." Micheal said as he closed the door behind him and walked inside.

"Micheal Angelo? What are these? And how can I move them?" Bull asked as he stared towards his two new metal arms while moving them around. He clenched his fists and slowly moved each of his fingers.

"That pair of arms is the prize of the second game. It's a pair of arms that I have made for you as per the request of Bunny and Lion, and I have made it out of the strongest metal that I can obtain which is called Kust Metal. I have inserted the ruby of matters inside of it and it has been connected to your brain, so you can easily make weapons with your arms. Because Lion told me that you can use any weapon and I think it's a perfect fit." Micheal explained while pulling a chair and puts it right beside Bull's bed.

"So how does it feel? Is it good?" Micheal asked while sitting down and looked towards Bull who was looking around his new pair of hands.

"This feels just like my arms. It feels like I didn't lose my arms thank you Micheal from the bottom of my heart." Bull smiled while a long river of tear flows down his checks,

"No problem and for now learn to move your arms freely, come to me when you're used to it. I will help you to control the ruby of matters." Micheal smiled and stand up while Bull nodded. Micheal waved towards Bull and walked out of the room.

"Thank you so much, Lion and Bunny." Bull smiled and wiped the tears on his cheeks while looking towards the window on his right side.
