Alex glanced at the screw from the iron door, the screw that held the iron door which was blocking his way forward. And then, the voice echoes inside the room...
"Turn the screw counterclockwise until it's no longer in its place." As Alex commanded, one specific screw had been turning and falling from the iron door. Alex continued to turn the other screw again until the door no longer had the support that held his weight as it fell to the opposite side of Alex.
"I got out, that easily..." Mumble Alex as he stepped on the fallen iron door in front of his supposed to be his prison. Alex looked left and then looked right. He noticed that there was no prison cell near his iron room. Feeling something wasn't right, he questioned it.
"Why isn't other cell placed nearby me? It's weird, it's like this room was made specifically for me. And my hunter instinct is telling me the location of others that were locked in here. It's quite a distance from here and I don't see any cell door inside this hallway either, what's happening...?"
As Alex said, the word 'hunter instinct' is his passive Unique that lets him feel when someone steps on the ground inside his vicinity, that's what he meant by footstep earlier. To describe this ability, it wasn't the bottom of the feet he saw. But instead, it was the dirt that made contact with the feet.
Yes, Alex can't detect any lifeform, but it was the object he could detect, 'ANY' object. At least, the one that was close to the ground, floor, wall, ceiling, or anything that merged with mother earth. When he was against Ryuma and Kiyo, he managed to detect them by the sand and dirt that were sticking to their clothes.
"For now, I need to go meet with one of the victims that were locked in here." As Alex said that, he took a step forward and detected the person inside the closed space...
...
"*Yawn*~ I'm tired, so fucking tired..." Inside the vicinity of the school building, Rudy yawns as he leans on the chair because of tiredness.
"I spent half of my money to buy the ingredients from the money I got from those four, I thought I was gonna spend it on minerals but oh well." The scene shows that he is inside his lab as he flicks the switch in his room, illuminating the dark room with lights.
"Now then..." Rudy then opened one of the doors that was inside the lab. As he took a sack of something, he then placed the sack on the table. He opened a sack and turned out it was only a stone and rock, a lot of them.
At the same time, a figure Rudy knew well went inside the room as he greeted him.
"Oh Hutogi, perfect timing! I'm gonna go all out tonight so please put me in a bed later." Hutogi responds with a smile on his face.
"Sure, oh by the way. What breakfast do you wanna eat tomorrow?"
"Eh... just fried egg and sausage." Rudy then picked one of the rocks, the light emanated as the rock was glowing.
"Reality Become Fiction." Second later, the ordinary rock has been turned into the raw black iron. Rudy's Unique, Reality Become Fiction, was able to turn any object into another object based on Rudy's imagination. In other words, he can change the molecule of the object. To turn the sand into gunpowder, even oxygen was included in Rudy's Unique.
After turning one rock into the black iron, Rudy picked up the second rock, then the third, and then the fourth. Sometimes passes, and there's a mountain of black iron on top of the table. Rudy, on the other hand, is looking like a fragile old man as his whole body is trembling.
"Think that's about 28 kg, fuck I was so close to reaching 30 kg..." As Rudy said that, he then collapsed on the floor. But then Hutogi comes to pick him up. He then brings Rudy to one of the rooms that has a bed in it and puts Rudy there.
"Reality Become Fiction, the ability that change anything into another thing based on what Rudy is thinking. Some say it was a broken ability, but it has its drawbacks. For every mineral Rudy changes, it takes some of his conscious as a payment. Rudy went all out when he fought Ryuma and Mika. He used his ability so much that he fell asleep in the end. Rudy, you care for those you know well, but you don't take care of yourself much you often collapse from using your power."
As Hutogi looked at Rudy's sleeping face, his instinct caught something as he heard the explosion.
"What the..." Hutogi was curious about the sound of the explosion as he left Rudy who was sleeping behind.
...
"I'm close to one of the cells. I wonder what kind of person was locked up in here..." Alex's current goal was to free the victim who's been kidnapped by the teacher here. His plan was to free them all like how he freed himself. He then peeked into the peephole of the door.
"Hello? Are you okay inside there?" It turned out to be an adult. The adult sits on their bed while having palms on their face. The adult heard Alex's voice as he stood up and went to Alex.
"A kid? Hey, you're not with those lunatics, aren't you?" Lunatics, Alex assumes he meant by Miss Sunny, the person who locked him in here underground.
"I'm not, hold on, I'm gonna get you out of here old man."
"Old man?! I'm just in my thirties!"
"Sorry! I didn't think before I spoke." Alex notices the keyhole of the prison door, the whole door is made of iron, but it's not the same kind as Alex's.
