The air inside the restaurant was thick with tension and the acrid scent of burning wood. The walls, once sturdy, now creaked ominously under the strain of the ongoing battle.
Toma stood in the center of the chaos, his eyes narrowed with determination. The fight had dragged on too long, and he knew it was time to end it.With a deep breath, he extended his hands, fingers splayed as he concentrated.
His magnetokinesis flared to life, and the metal beams and supports within the building began to groan and twist under his control. The walls shuddered as the structural integrity of the restaurant was compromised, the very foundation of the building trembling at Toma's command.
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit hallway, Shota moved swiftly, carrying Kazuya over his shoulder. Kazuya was conscious but weak, barely able to keep his eyes open as Shota navigated the labyrinthine corridors of the restaurant. They had to find Hiroshi's daughter—time was running out.
Shota's heart pounded in his chest as he kicked open another door, revealing a small room crowded with frightened people. He then kicked the next door open and his eyes quickly scanned the room, locking onto a young girl huddled in the corner. It was Hiroshi's daughter.
Relief flooded through him, but there was no time to savor it.
Shota quickly untied her and motion her to follow him. Hiroshi's daughter hesitated, her wide eyes filled with fear, but she quickly scrambled to her feet.
Shota then went towards the several other hostages who were in the other room, their faces were pale with terror.
Without a moment's hesitation, Shota adjusted Kazuya on his shoulder, then grabbed Hiroshi's daughter and the remaining hostages, carrying them all at once. His incredible strength and big size made it possible, but the strain was immense.
The walls around them creaked ominously, dust and debris raining down as Toma's power continued to tear the building apart. The floor beneath Shota's feet trembled, threatening to collapse at any moment.
The hostages clung to him, their fear driving them to obey without question. Shota bolted down the hallway, his footsteps echoing through the crumbling building.

Toma stood at the hallway facingthe gang leader, his breath steady, his focus was sharp. The structure was barely holding together, the walls shaking with the impending collapse. Toma's eyes were locked onto the gang leader with the black katana, who had already turned to flee.
But Toma wasn't about to let him escape.
"Where do you think you're going?," Toma muttered, his voice carrying an edge of finality.
As the gang leader dashed towards the exit, his katana slicing through falling debris with lethal precision, Toma reached out with his magnetokinesis. The air crackled with energy as he seized control of the metal beams and supports, twisting and warping them with sheer force of will. The entire building groaned in protest, the ceiling beginning to crack and buckle under the strain.
The leader moved with incredible speed, trying to find a way out. His katana flashed through the air, cutting down obstacles in his path, but Toma was relentless. With a flick of his wrist, Toma pulled the remaining structural supports, sending massive chunks of concrete and steel crashing down in the leader's path.
The gang leader dodged and weaved, he moved his katana like a blur as he fought to keep himself from being crushed. But Toma wasn't giving him any openings. The building shuddered violently as Toma poured every ounce of his power into bringing it down, leaving no escape routes.
As the leader made one last desperate leap towards a small gap in the collapsing structure, Toma focused his energy, pulling the final beams down, making the whole building go down with a deafening crash...

As Shota was nearing the exit, a loud crack echoed behind them, followed by the deafening roar of a section of the ceiling collapsing. The doorway was in sight, but the building was giving way faster than Shota had anticipated. He could feel the magnetic fields distorting around him as Toma's power reached its peak, pulling at the very fabric of the structure. It looked like they weren't going to make it.
But with a final burst of speed, Shota leaped through the doorway, the hostages were still clinging to him. Just as they cleared the exit, the entire building collapsed in on itself with a thunderous crash.
