The trio entered the building as they climbed the stairs right in front of the open door and kept walking along the first-floor corridor. Tess and Shane were behind the huge, bald guy, terrified out of their minds.
Of course, they had managed to act boldly just a while ago on the ground. Even though they didn't know how they managed to act boldly a while ago, now that everything had been settled, they seemed to have come back to their senses.
The two youths trembled as they continued to walk, not even daring to even breathe loudly.
"How did you manage to fight such a huge guy?" Tess didn't remember the dark aura anymore that had surrounded her brother. She only looked at the huge guy in front of her and felt a trace of fear engulfing her heart, "He's so huge and scary."
"I have no f*cking idea."
"You know, I can hear you, right?" The instructor said all of a sudden, making the two people standing behind the bald man jump in shock.
Shane gulped as he chuckled nervously, "You're not going to kill us, are you?"
"What do you think?" The bald man spoke sarcastically, "You guys have created a huge trouble for me. You better behave until we reach the destination."
"Where are you taking us?"
The bald guy turned toward the left in an intersection and glared at Shane from the corner of his eyes, "To hell."
Shane and Tess shivered. They shut their mouths; they couldn't tell whether this huge guy was just bluffing or telling the truth. They were too scared to speak as if they hadn't been the ones to speak in front of the man before.
Soon, they all ended up stopping at a dark dead end with only a door on the other side. It was shrouded in darkness as it gave an eerie feeling to the two youngsters behind. They couldn't help but stare at the wooden door that looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, filled with dust and fungus.
It looked exactly like a door coming out of a horror movie. The two siblings trembled as they huddled together.
The bald man rolled his eyes as he said, "Follow me."
After that, he pulled out a key from his pocket and inserted it inside the lock, as he glanced behind with his cold gaze, "Be careful. I haven't used this room for a long time. It might have become rusty."
As soon as the door opened, an empty, white room appeared, similar to the one Shane had woken up in, but this time, the room had a bed, table, and even a television attached to the wall. Everything was white except for the colorful scenes on the TV. Shane's eyes glanced at the scene playing on the TV.
It was a very familiar scene of the instructor and him fighting on the ground.
The corners of his lips twitched. Why were the 'viewers' of this world so keen on watching his embarrassing moments?
He shook his head and looked at the person who was lazing on the bed while eating popcorn.
Shane tilted his head as he thought, 'This is what the instructor called a rusty room?'
But on second thought, as he stared at the young ten-year-old boy with his skin peeling off from his face and other limbs, revealing a robotic build on the inside, Shane understood what the instructor meant. It turned out, this thing was a robot.
When the robot saw the instructor entering inside, he waved his hand and said, "Yo, master, did the sun arise in the West today? Why do I hallucinate you actually entering my domain?"
"Dirt, come here."
"Nope."
"I'm warning you one last time. Otherwise, you'll be dismantled."
"Blah blah blah. I have heard this many times, but you still haven't acted out on it."
Anger erupted on the instructor's face. The muscles on his face contorted as his bald appearance looked even more frightening. He raised his hand as he looked coldly at the robot and said with a trace of light flashing in his eyes, "Inventory."
"W-Wait…why are you using your inventory?" The robot suddenly showed a frightened expression as he jumped off of the bed. He made a gesture full of vigilance as he squinted his eyes at the bald man, "Don't come closer!"
"Too late," said the bald man as he pulled out a binding rope and made it float in the air as lightning sparked around it.
Shane's eyes went wide as he looked at the scene in front of his eyes. He felt as if he had entered a fantasy anime or something.
After that, the bald man uttered a word: "Lightning Bond."
As soon as he said those words, it seemed to have activated the weapon. The rope instantly flew toward the robot and wrapped around its body while sending shock waves every few seconds.
"AAHHHHHHH...."
The entire body of the robot trembled as all its hairs danced with the waves of electricity. He screamed so loud that Shane and Tess felt like their eardrums were about to explode.
After five minutes, the rope untied the robot as the latter's body fell limp on the ground and the rope returned to the instructor. The bald man muttered, "Vanish."
Then, the weapon disappeared without a trace as the instructor looked coldly at the robot on the ground and said, "I have told you many times that I'm your master, and you have to treat me as one."
The robot looked at the bald man with a pitiful look on his face, "Look, even more skin has peeled off."
"And whose fault was that? Behave!"
"Fine. what can I do for you?" The robot, Dirt, pulled himself up and sat on the ground while leaning against the cabinet behind his back.
"Check their memories," said the bald man as he pointed to the two people who were supposed to be standing behind his back.
The robot's eyes became even more confused, "Who?"
"Newbies…." The instructor turned around only to see that there was no one in sight. He could hear the sound of hurried footsteps slowly disappearing into the corridor.
The bald man chuckled all of a sudden, "It seems everyone wants to piss me off today. Good. Very good!"
