Al continued to infuse his flas into the tal door, the hotter the flas, the redder the tal door beca. Soon the whole tal door had turned red but it wasn't showing any signs of lting or giving in to the heat from Al's hand.
Gustavo took a few steps back, the heat that radiated out of Al's hand was too much for him to be comfortable in.
"Huh?!" Al exclaid.
He increased the heat and everything he has into it this ti.
['Nothing is happening. The door has only been getting redder but nothing else. It still feels firm underneath my touch.'] Al noticed.
['It seems like the stalker wasn't lying about this.'] Xander comnted.
Al frowned as he removed his hand from the tal door and stared at it. Slowly after he had stopped heating the door up, the red-hot color of the flas started to fade. It was cooling down on its own.
['Is this still tal? Or so kind of tal that we don't know about? A lot of things in this world don't add up.'] Al thought. He was frustrated that he couldn't get to find out what was behind the door.
He turned and faced Gustavo.
"Tell the truth, do you know how to get past this door?" He asked.
Seeing his expression, Gustavo could tell that Al was really curious about what was behind that door.
"I don't know, I am a very curious person so I know what you are feeling now. I also want to know what is behind the tal door." Gustavo could empathize with him.
"You and I are different, so you can't possibly know what I'm feeling right now," Al stated coldly as he turned around and started heading for the exit of the underground bunker.
"Ouch, he really doesn't like . Well, that's nothing that I'm not used to." Gustavo whispered to himself. "Wait for ," He chased after Al.
"Why are you following ? Do you really want to die?" Al asked without sparing him a glance. He kept on walking.
"I was wondering when you were going to introduce to the rest of the team. Rember, you said that I could join your team."
"Yes, I don't have amnesia. I can rember what I said, and I still regret saying it." Al responded. "If you want to et them, then you have to do that on your own. I am not going to introduce you to them." Al said and continued to make way to the area that he ca out of.
"If you are planning to leave the bunker then it would be more convenient for you to use the other manhole," Gustavo suggested.
Al looked up and glanced at the hole from which Xander ca in from. It was above his aerial ability. Although it was above his strength, he didn't want to rely on Gustavo after ignoring him several tis.
"I don't need your assistance. If I ca here then it ans that I want to go out from here." Al dismissed him.
['That is quite childish don't you think?'] Alex asked.
['Hmph, I am going out from the sa place that we ca in from.'] Al concluded.
"But, can you make it from here?" Gustavo asked.
"That's not your business," Al replied rudely.
['Can you though?'] Alex asked.
['You freaking rabbit, who's side are you on?'] Al questioned.
['Hey, I'm just asking.'] Alex replied.
"Watch and see," Al said to Alex.
He opened his palms and ford two balls of fire the size of his palms. Al turned his hands and made sure that the fireballs were facing the ground.
Al began compressing the flas in his hands and at the sa ti, he was increasing the flas. The fireball in his hands started to rotate clockwise the speed of its rotation increased after every complete circle.
Gustavo could feel the heat coming from the balls and he decided to keep his distance. He could tell that if he got hit by the flas in Al's hands, he was likely to get roasted to death in a few seconds.
Although he was wary of the flas, he didn't stay too far away because he wanted to see what Al was going to do.
Al bent his legs a bit, he looked like he was about to launch himself into the air.
-Whoosh.
He shot up into the air. His jump could only take him so far, at one point gravity started to pull him back to the ground.
That's when he decided to use the fireballs that he had in his hands.
-Boom!
Al let the compressed energy in the balls out. It was like an explosion, however, this one was a continuous explosion. The blast ca from his hands and hit the floor beneath, causing the sa thing that happened to the huge tal door to happen to the ground.
It also started turning red.
Gustavo quickly dived to safety.
The force from the explosion pushed Al higher into the air, and in no ti he reached the entrance that he ca in from.
['I told you that I could do it.'] Al smirked as he retracted the flas into his body.
['Didn't know that our ability could be used like that.'] Alex was impressed by Al's way of improvising.
['As long as you can think of it then it can be done.'] Al stated smugly, feeling proud that he wowed Alex.
"I didn't expect you to be able to do that." Gustavo's voice reached Al's ears.
He turned and looked at Gustavo with a 'Where did you co from,' look.
Understanding why Al was looking at him like that, Gustavo pointed to the side of a grave not too far from where they were. "The other manhole is around there. I use it as an exit because it's easier." He ntioned.
Al felt a little bit dumb. He turned and fixed his expression before he started to make his way back to the guest inn.
Gustavo still chose to tag along with Al. on the way he attempted to start up a conversation with Al many tis but it always ended with him being ignored like he didn't exist. Nonetheless, he continued to do it.
Walking out of the forest and into the vicinity of the guest inn, Al and Gustavo saw a lot of blue badge students standing around the entrance of the guest inn.
['What's going on?'] Al thought.
['Did soone do sothing in front of the guest inn?'] Alex thought.
['If soone did sothing then it wouldn't be only blue badge students that will gather here.'] Xander pointed out.
['Exactly. Why do I feel like I'm being targeted again?'] Al thought as he looked around, searching for a student with a different color of the uniform.
After taking a few seconds to do that, he noticed that the only one with a different color of uniform was Gustavo. He turned and faced him the now retreating nuisance that walked the way with him.
"It seems like this is exclusively for blue badge students. As I am not one of you guys, I think I should go and co back when this whole thing has been resolved." Gustavo slowly retreated into the forest that they ca out of.
['Alex, do have that bad feeling that you normally have before anything bad happens?'] Al questioned. He too wasn't quite sure if what was happening was going to be sothing good for him.
['No, I can't feel anything of the sort.'] Alex responded.
Al sighed in relief. ['Okay good. If you did then I would be more worried.']
['Find out what's going on here.'] Xander suggested.
"Hey!" Al walked forward to where they were gathered and dragged a guy that was at the end of the crowd. He grabbed the guy's shoulder.
"What!?" The guy struggled to get his shoulder out of Al's grip but Al's hand was like a vice on his shoulder.
"Argh! What do want?" When he saw that he couldn't even make Al's hand budge away from his shoulder, he caved in.
"Why are there only blue badge students here?" Al asked.
"Because the academy said that blue badge students should gather in front of this place." The guy asked as he winced in pain.
Al's grip on his shoulder continued to tighten and it showed no sign of loosening.
"But it doesn't look like all of the blue badge students in the academy are present here." Al thought out loud.
"That's because there are different gathering sights that we were told to et. This is one of the gathering sights." The guy was on the verge of crying.
"Why were asked to gather? And why only us?" Al questioned.
"Argh!! Please, let go of my shoulder." The guy pleaded.
Al didn't listen to his plea and increased the strength of his grip on his shoulder.
"Because the person that killed the 4 students in the academy is said to be a blue badge student."
['Are they trying to look for the bald guy?'] Al wondered.
['Perhaps. If that's what they are searching for then we should be alright.'] Lex uttered.
"There a rumor that they are looking for a particular ring. But no one knows what ring they are searching for. They are going to check the storage devices of every blue badge student." The guy added.
Hearing that, Al was shocked. The first thing that ca to his mind was to run. He let go of the guy's shoulder and was about to make a run for it.
Just as soon as he took the first step, the staff of the academy arrived.
['Sh*t!! Rabbit is your hazard radar broken. You couldn't even tell that sothing bad was about to happen to us!!'] Al put the bla of their misfortune on Alex.
