Volume 20 - Chapter 134: Victorem.

Without examining the contents of the inside of the newly discovered tower, I hurried to the elevator in the middle that had a cylindrical shape very much like the whole tower itself, however, despite the fact that I continuously pressed the elevator switch over and over, I heard absolutely nothing. No movements from an elevator; and to further add to my paranoia, Sagasuga's ax clobbering the steeled door was by far the only sound that was humming.

This called for a quick judgment.

I either attempted to fully reason with Sagasuga or I continued my way up. As far as I can see, this tower is extremely simple. There is an elevator that looks to not be working and two other staircases, both leading to the top. There is a slight difference in them, however. The one to the right side is a staircase that has a railway endorsed to it.

That could be useful, but that fully depends if there is a cart in the first place; otherwise, it's utterly useless.

Still, still... When I said "reason" I was not referring to pledging for mercy or something like that. I'm not dumb, he has an ax. There is no chance of victory if I face him with an ax. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean that I don't have a chance whatsoever to extract information out of him.

"Kawahara....... You're not running...? You're dumb, really, really, dumb. Why'd you come here? Well, it doesn't matter. As soon as I'm done with this door, you know the story, don't you?"

"I just gotta know something before I go off. After all, I am the superior runner, remember?"

"What the hell? Is that your new catchphrase or something?"

I ignored that and the fact that he was hammering down the door heartlessly with absurdly fast movements carried by heavy arm strength. I would give this door a minute or two before it crumbles, so I'll just get to the point.

But before that, it's very important that I am aware of my own boundaries and that I don't come close to Sagasuga, who is still on the other side, looking at my face cold-heartedly; detached from emotion. Therefore, 10 meters of distance.

I know he can hear me from this far. I am only five meters away from the stairs to the top.

"Sagasuga! You said plan! Care to elaborate?"

"No."

.......

"You're kidding with me. You want to kill me! And you won't even tell me WHY you want to kill me?! At least do that!"

"But I'm not sure if I can have a chance to kill you, after all, you are quite crafty. I'm not underestimating you. Also... Are you sure you want to be there? Shouldn't you be running up ahead?"

"You're no fun, damn it!"

Time is up! I need to run all the way top and our paths don't differ here! Although... He could take the railways and climb up to the top. However, per norm... No one would do that because I can just use the cart up ahead---if there is one---to launch it and clash it with him.

If that's the case then I will...

In the quick time of two minutes, I climbed all the way to the top and found a cart on top of the staircase.

"Good... The metallic bridge that all the pillars share is right here and it has no locked door... All that's left to do is..."

I leaned in, on my knees to the edge of the space that's in-between the dual paths; one being the railways that would descend all the way to the entrance and the other the normal staircase that I ran into. Usually, whenever looking down all the way up to where I am now, would pose no challenge. Plus, there's no sunlight here! Damn it, I planned on utilizing my cellphone's screen to obstruct his vision and then throw the cart at him because he would then have no way to dodge it due to the blinding light.

Then again, that's all I need to do. To create a distraction. In essence, blinding light is a powerful distraction, and even if I were to create such a distraction, Sagasuga would notice.

He's extra-aware of me because he labeled me as "crafty". Well, then... Cart aside, I need to take it off from the railways that are at the top. That will be my main source of damage, but I need secondary ones.

Metal sticks light enough to throw rapidly at someone. Empty wooden boxes large enough to cause a distraction. I didn't have the time to analyze the content of the boxes yet as soon as I was not kneeling down anymore and took a glance at Sagasuga; who had successfully infiltrated the parameter, I decided it was time to take action.

Yet not now. He's in an empty area and although he can't see well from below, he surely is aware that I am watching him.

From his movements, it's almost as if he's perfectly aware that the elevator was not working in the first place. Either that or he took my example earlier and completely trusted the possibility of the elevator not working.

It's at times like this that it's important to keep my cool and not allow my emotions to take control. Should I allow my emotions to take a toll on me, then I would run and run, but I cannot do that. I must think of the profit of my potential success here. Ergo, by annihilating Sagasuga's track, I could steal his words and reign successful here.

This is not the time to be scared or to feel anything negative here.

"Here he comes..."

Sagasuga's on sight and the moment he attempted to meet my posture, I backed off grandly so that way, he won't capture my stand. The coast is clear up ahead, but that doesn't matter now.

I began to gather all the materials at my disposal here. If I knew beforehand that he would choose this particular location, I would've gathered material preemptively. But... Sagasuga would most likely come up with an excuse as to why I shouldn't...

"Come on, climb up..."

Weirdly enough, he began to whistle something that I couldn't quite catch what was, but the song itself sounded familiar... He didn't speak and started to climb onto the normal staircase while additionally swirling around his ax.

There are around 40 steps or degrees to the staircase before he comes up. It's all a diagonal way to the top; absolutely no excuses.

"Hey, I know you can hear me so I'll tell you something that might comfort you."

But I didn't speak. I couldn't allow him to possibly certify about the fact that I am still here. As far as I'm concerned, he didn't see me and I could've gone up ahead, so that would be dumb.

Furthermore, he is climbing very slowly and my plan will only take shape once he is closer. Around 20 to 15 degrees type of close; which is not the case at the moment. All I could do is lay down on the floor while looking at him with my cellphone's camera recording what was happening. This can be done if the camera part is the only part that's sticking out and the distance is so enormous that Sagasuga has no way to see that the camera is there.

Naturally, this won't be the case once the distance gap is far more irrelevant, but that would be pointless.

"This line is said many times, but I'll emphasize it just so you know I really mean it."

I rolled up on the floor just so I could see the entire ceiling. And then I rolled back quickly but securely, so the cellphone would not fall off accidentally.

"It is not personal. I think that you are exceptional, Kawahara. But sometimes, exceptions are dangerous. It's better to be mediocre these days than to stand out, wouldn't you agree?"

He's purposely creating arguments that I'm begging to argue against, but I just couldn't. So far, he has taken five degrees and there are 35 degrees to go.

"What I'm trying to say is... Among non-mediocre individuals, isn't competition itself something natural? I truly think it is. You just start to see someone who isn't mediocre your enemy, while the other mediocre ones are just... well, there? Isn't this dialogue pretty arrogant? My point here is... If there would be a competition between you and me... then it would just be natural. Therefore; not personal."

That's his justification for going out of his way to kill me. It's also his way of straying from the "plan" he said earlier.

"However, the truth is, I think we have the same objective in this competition. That being: the accumulation of our words. But, as it stands, having two parties uphold it, is lackluster. I am under the impression that you would betray me sooner or later, so I am betraying you now. Does that sound fair to you, Kawahara?"

Fuck, he's not wrong, but that's not exactly fair. Ten degrees to go... Just five more and I'll start the preparations. The cart is already out of the rails, so it's all set to work.

"With that said, I propose a deal. By the time I am there at the top, if you just leave your words there, I will not hunt you. You don't have to take my word for it, but if you just jump off the bridge that's up next, you'll fall into the sea. Simply swim in another direction and do whatever you want. I will not censure you."

Was this literally not predictable whatsoever though? Anyone saw this line of play from a mile away. The spy theory, the separation, and so on. And now this. Nonetheless, this is decisive. There has to be an outcome here! If one of us fails here then the other loses everything.

At last...

Sagasuga stood on the fifteen degree and that was when I started the preparations.

Firstly, I took back my cellphone and placed it in my bag rapidly. Secondly, I grabbed four metal sticks with sharp edges for unknown purposes here and threw two at the railways; partially from the path that Sagasuga was currently under. However, I was already throwing everything from the bridge's entrance and Sagasuga could not capture my sight or the origin of the throws no matter how much he tried to.

Transiently then, for about two seconds, Sagasuga's footsteps could not be heard. It's very impressive how he's matching his speed despite having his foot in a bad state from earlier. Nevertheless, that was all it took to buy his distraction.

"One more time..."

"A little bit off the mark, Kawahara."

I ignored his taunt and threw another at the exact same destination as the last. The mirroring railways; far away from Sagasuga.

Just like last time, it took him two seconds to process that I had missed that.

"..."

He kept his silence this time and kept on walking. Right now, he should be on his guard. His suspicion should be that I planning something big and that these last three throws were nothing but an illusion. Right now, right now, he is probably thinking that I'm going to throw the cart at him, but that's only when he steps right into the twentieth degree.

Ultimately, the moment he took that single step, I threw the fourth metal stick in the right direction this time, but unlike the last time, I didn't give Sagasuga a moment to rest, because everything was in place.

That's right, the moment I made that decisive throw, I had advanced into the part of the tower where I would become far more visible to Sagasuga and right after I did the throw, I stretched out to the cart that was on my left; stationed for the ultimate decisive purpose of being thrown into the sequence of that metal stick.

"Graaaaaah!!"

Screaming from all my lungs, with my right hand, I obliquely threw the cart at Sagasuga which caused him to immediately react to it by striking the cart forwardly with his ax; thus successfully clearing it out of the way.

That would be it... If the cart was the necessary piece for the victory here, but...

"Hm...?! Wait, the cart wasn't the distraction?!"

Before I had taken the positioning from where I would not stand visible to Sagasuga, I had everything in place. The necessary crucial factor was to analyze the placing of everything. I firstly started by placing the decisive pieces where they should be placed. The cart would be placed near the edge of the middle in-between space where the dual paths divide so it would be easy for me to grab it efficiently and throw it. Secondly, there would be four metal sticks accompanied by me, as I planned not on using all of them. If I were to cause a distraction, then a few would do it. Should I had used them too much, my plan would become too obvious.

Thirdly and lastly, the additional piece of the puzzle, the boxes that I gathered, a grand total of twelve empty boxes; the perfect distraction that I ultimately used against Sagasuga by kicking them from where they stood: the beginning of the end of the normal stairway.

As all the boxes felt at an absurdly rapid pace, I ran all the way into the staircase and accompanied the flow of the hollow wooden boxes that Sagasuga had no other option but to attempt to cut down; otherwise, they would hit him in the face and that's exactly what I want... For them to steal his vision so for that split second I could gain the upper hand on him, however...

"Not enough! Not enough! Some boxes won't get the upper edge on me, Kawahara!"

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

So he said while cutting as many boxes as he could, but I started to climb the wall with fast precision for about a split second. The moment he saw what I was trying to do, he directed his ax onto the left foot that was midst the wall horizontally.

He just didn't realize that the distance from where I stand and the ax throw would not match because I only started to move the moment he had destroyed one of the boxes that were aimed at his face. Midst that distraction, two other boxes hit his face.

"Gah!!!"

"....!!"

For just about a single centimeter, his ax throw was unfocused and missed my foot... Then, with the ax now adjoined to the wall, I used it as momentum to land on it, which then gave me the necessary upper edge that I needed.

No longer had Sagasuga the ax and he was aimlessly attempting to recover from the barrage of wooden boxes that were still descending down.

"I got you now! Sagasuga!!"

From behind him, I snuck in and took a hold on his neck with an anchor lock used by my right forearm and elbow alongside the bicep. Swiftly, I landed a low-kick on his right calf with my right foot while in addition utilizing my left arm to lock away the movements that he could use with his left arm.

And then began to strangle him until he would show signs of losing.

"S-So... sneaky... why you...!! Guhhh!!"

He deliberately attempted to use everything to his disposal, which includes...

Movements with his left arm, which he could not do due to my left arm locking it. Kicks with his left foot, but he was already damaged from before; hence why I kicked his right calf, so he would have trouble moving with his stable foot, which proved to be the truth. All that was left was his right arm, which he was using its right hand to try and break from the lock.

However, I didn't exactly strangle him and attempted to extract information now that he was in such a position to be under my direct control.

"Questionnaire time! Sagasuga... I refuse to believe that this was all your idea! Who was it that came up with it?! Tell me now or I will break your neck!"

To show that I wasn't joking, I began to brutally increase the dose of physical strength used in my right arm all the way to his neck so he would know that I was telling the truth.

"Fuck... you... You'll never get... anything... out of me...!!"

"Wh----"

Against my expectations, he lost consciousness due to the lack of resistance. He isn't dead, but he is unconscious. His body now remains freely to my command.

Now that there is no resistance, I took out the hold that was blocking Sagasuga's previous movements and reached out to his bag. Then, I took it out of his back. While doing so, I allowed his unconscious body to freely fall all the way down the stairs. It only went as far as going seven degrees lower, but the damage will be there.

"Now then... First of all, this ax is now my property."

Although it showed plenty of resistance due to the fact that it was well-adjoined to the rustic wall, I nonetheless apprehended the ax.

I then admired it from every angle and pondered the endless possibilities of its usage. Thankfully, it had no blood in it. Even if it did, I would clean it.

"Secondly... It's time to see what you have inside that bag."

Very rapidly, I opened the bag and saw its contents. There were three envelopes which were Tsudo's, Tatsu's, and Sagasuga's words. That much I already knew. However...

"What the hell? There's nothing he---"

Perhaps that was far too impulsive as I saw something in addition to the three envelopes. Something that I had no real clue to what it was at first...

"A Rubik's cube? What a damn kid this prick is!"

But... It's already solved. The four sides of it are exactly correct.

Maybe out of paranoia I started to examine the whole cube as I thought it was a listening device but I saw no connection to it. Nothing from the outside was telling me so yet I couldn't completely figure out, or figure out at all why there was a Rubik's cube in Sagasuga's bag...

"I'll take it with me just in case. You can have your empty bag, balance clown. I have manners despite what I may seem to be."

Why? Why? Why...? I just can't seem to make reason out of this cube. Just what the hell is the purpose of this cube?! I never saw him play with it! Is he that secretive about his hobbies? I refuse to believe it but... as it stands, it really is nothing more than a Rubik's cube, but I refuse to simply believe it...

"To the bag, you go, and now... What do I do with you? I think I got it. Call it favoritism, but Sagasuga... I would never kill a guy like you, although you just went after my life. Individualism takes a rare individual to manifest itself and you are just that. If you weren't, I would mercilessly throw you to the pit down below. However, it won't be that easy..."

3 minutes later.

Although the bridge is completely destroyed, the entrance is still there. It's an irregular entrance that does not even match the titled bridge. It's as if the bridge has been here for centuries, but when I look at the tower... I just can't think of something that has been here for more than a decade even. If the design has been remodeled, that would make more sense.

"A little bit more... And there we go! Perfect!"

The midday sky above was finally blessing me. Radiating effulgent light baths to the winner!

"I really am too much of a saint. It's just that... It loses all sense if I kill someone that's unconscious. I wanted to get information out of you, but I guess you just didn't like that, huh...?"

I crooked my posture with my two upper legs supporting my knees as I placed Sagasuga's upper torso on the edge of the bridge and left his legs inside the bridge. The perfect balance, you could say. Though... Not quite. His bodyweight is too much and so, the upper posture keeps on wanting to fall off. Or so was the case at first, but now it's alright. There's just one catch here. I can't imagine that it would be perfectly alright if he were to wake up and then erupt into a balanced position, because the first thing that's going to catch him off guard is the very fact that I placed a grand total of twelve boxes with all the metal sticks (which were 30 in total) inside the boxes.

They surprisingly fit inside as if they were made to go inside the boxes. Well, this way his legs have way too much weight and he can't fall off no matter what. Unless the ravine simply decides to break down, in which case he dies.

If Sagasuga gets up, then he has to eliminate twelve boxes that have triple the weight of his entire body. It's ridiculously absurd to pull that off, but if he truly is an individual with an individualistic charisma, then he will think of a way out of this.

"Time to go then."

I said while looking in Sagasuga's body direction one more time; making sure it was completely unconscious.

"I win."

Saying goodbye to the present location was an easy thing to do, but before I climbed all the way to the top, I checked the elevator one more time. I clicked on the switch on the right side multiple times, but no response, unfortunately.

It has a frontal entrance but the way out to the elevator to the top is mirroring the other side. Quite interesting. What I wanted to really know is... Does the elevator go below or does it only go up?

I climbed effortlessly though a little tired.

Without Sagasuga now, it felt a bit lonely. I didn't have someone to just randomly talk about topics that weren't even important in the first place, but at the same time, I felt a sensation of peace because I was no longer being observed by Sagasuga constantly.

I also reminded myself to hurry up with this task of mine because I had to go back to those affiliated to me---Rayazaki and Kuzan---who await me to grant them victory over this exam. Our deal is a deal and there's no going back to it.

"Plan... Plan... What the hell was he referring to... But, that clears it. There is no spy in the first place. That was all a lie for Sagasuga to get his reasoning going."

At last, I advanced to the bridge that was connecting to the other tower below the mine. It was impossible to see the outside since the inside of the gate was fully covered by the same exact silver structure as the entrance to the tower. There was only one way which was forward.

As I got into the next tower, there was no option to descend via stairs, instead, I was met with a cylindrically shaped elevator; resembling strong similarities to the previous one.

There was just one decisive difference.

"Fucking hell, at least it's working. How screwed would I be if it was not working?! Hahaha!!!"

In essence, I would have no way out of here. Though... That's not quite true. I could, for example, tear this bridge's structure apart with the ax, but I am not quite sure if that would work because the resistance of the bridge's structure seems far too rigid to be broken by a mere ax.

"I wonder if when he said that I should put my uniform back on... Was he looking for an opportunity to catch me off guard? As I thought, you really are interesting, Sagasuga. I have an obligation towards beings of your affinity. Individualism cannot go to waste. There's so much more to take shape."

Roughly after ten seconds, the elevator which was summoned from the underground returned to where I stand now and opened itself alongside a broken light lamp inside.

There were two options; to either go up or go all the way to the top.

Infinitely curious, I clicked the option to go to the top, and after a full minute, I was at the very top of the tower, which had absolutely nowhere to go. All that was in the area was a great oval-shaped circle threatening the blue sky above.

I stepped forward onto the limits of the circle and saw for myself the great sandsea. Furthermore, I additionally caught glimpse of eight other pillars; all equal to the one that I am in.

Should I count this pillar and the previous one that I was in, then in total, that's ten pillars. And... That's about every participant in this exam...

Then, as the remorseless keen but not unpleasant wind containing unpredictable blasts of wind midst this summer-like environment haze passed through violently; it clicked.

"I see! It makes sense now! The reason why the elevator in the previous pillar didn't work is that deciphering the password disables it! The reason why this elevator worked was that the password had not been deciphered yet! If so then..."

Gazing at the seemingly bottomless brilliant water below, I thought something else in addition to what I had just spoken out loud.

Could it be that Sagasuga indirectly motivated me to get the password right just so I couldn't have access to the elevator? I can only form a conclusive hypothesis once I fully go down this elevator and find out what's beyond it.

"Interesting... Interesting... This is so interesting! I feel so free! All of this, to my discovery!"

I want this sentiment to myself only.

Thus, I went down the elevator and two minutes later, I fully descended.

Completely contrasting the abrasive blazing sunlight that was all over me a whole two minutes ago, I was once again shrouded with penetrating darkness. Darkness not bright in any form whatsoever.

What was most interesting was how as soon as I emerged from the elevator and the elevator's door opened, a secret staircase leading to below appeared. Nonetheless, this reminded me of the secret passage that was in the first mine. However, it's important to notice that the sequence of achievements here is essentially reversed. We discovered that passage not through an elevator but by being inside an area that was discovered from the outside real world.

Yes, as far as I am truly concerned, the scenery does not match the real world whatsoever. This is unbelievable, but it's as if there's a secondary world in these ruins...

A hidden world.

Seeing no reason whatsoever to hold back on my advancement, I took out my cellphone and turned the torch on.

"54%..."

I fully focused the light on the degrees that I was descending on and prioritized following the light that was guiding me out of this unshakable darkness. It curved all the way to the right just when I was about to meet my final destination but it ultimately regressed to being towards the left side in the end.

A chamber instead...

"It doesn't look like a dead-end, but it has a door to the left and a computer right in the middle. But why is it a dead-end...? Before in the previous mine that we were in, there was always a way to turn back, and surely, I can just turn back, it's just... Wait, unless...?"

Unless...

As I got closer to the computer which looked to be fairly operational at the center of this blue-illuminated room with an oval white ceiling, I pictured a guess at what was going on.

"The only place that would make sense for it to be a dead-end relying on the door to be open would be the other passage that we couldn't access for whatever reason... If... the way to the secret passage is through the elevator, then it makes sense why we couldn't access it before. After all, it's because the door potentially can't be accessed from the outside and only through an elevator like this one."

A single door to the left and a computer... This room is certainly different as it has a blue decoration to it and it's in addition sustained by a beautiful illumination. No doubt, this scenario screams of secret passage; simply due to the fact that the architecture of the setting far alternates way too much.

Therefore, without any sort of hesitation, I advanced towards the computer.

"Number?"

It briefly puzzled me how the screen was asking for a number instead of a fully verbal password but I quickly processed the missing essence here.

"It's a secret passage, so it's bound to go beyond what the normal passage has to offer and for that to happen, a different methodology of achievement is set. I see now."

In addition to asking me for the number to be input, it said that I had three times to do it, however, I nailed it on the first try.

"As I thought, it's number two. Of course..."

Because...

"The stupid remote control that I got from the past mine had number two on it, so there's bound to be a connection. Of course the number here is two."

Subsequently, from the middle of the computer's body, came the reward for getting it right. A wrapped-up present covered in red with a yellowish golden gradient alike ribbon endorsed all over it. It ultimately was from a dark drawer that closed immediately as soon as I retrieved it.

"It's so well wrapped up that I will purposely ravage it!"

Though I ravaged it, I already had the preemptive knowledge about the present's format; which is a rectangle.

As soon as I caught glimpse of its entirely, I no longer treated it savagely. Instead, I doted it with a small whistle.

"Hot damn, a tablet? But wait... Behind it, there's a missing piece... Now, if I had to picture a guess..."

It was simple. So simple that I packed the tablet that had a missing piece in behind and started to make my way down to the left where the door which was already open would lead me to. The door was already open the moment I inserted the correct number.

Another stairway down below. Accompanied by darkness, I ran through it effortlessly; impatient like a child.

My desire for wanting to see what was awaiting me came rewarded as I found myself in the exact same place that Sagasuga and I could not access a few hours ago.

Shaped like an ancient colosseum, the gigantic windowless intertwined with harboring darkness all over it. I saw two things that caught my interest.

The sole reason as to why I knew that this was the room that we could not access earlier was due to the fact that the door all the way to the northwest was the exact same door that I tried to access earlier. Lastly, the piece of absolute glory; the exact everlasting reward for all this effort, unlike before---a tall elevated computer now stood in the middle of the arena.

The conclusion to take here is that the password entry makes all the difference and what was once could potentially be something else entirely.

"Very fucking interesting I must say! This makes me want to act like an irresponsible brat and discover every section!!"

But I can't.

This day so far made me realize one thing... The possibility of finding food inside this hidden world is most likely negative and as such, I will have to make haste to the world outside of this one in order to get food.

I am feeling so fucking weak. That fight against Sagasuga---if you can even call it a fight---took a more heavy toll on me than expected. As soon as I'm done with the reward here, I am returning back.

These were my thoughts before I had realized what the reward was and what it meant by obtaining it.

"Two tries?! Are you fucking with me?! That's... Huh... I wonder if there's a pattern here... Perhaps the more useful the item is the restrictive it gets...? Well, no point in speculating, I will know it soon enough."

Just like the previous word entry, it required a word entry. I can't insert "Ultimate" because that was what opened the door. Speaking of the door...

"Where the hell is it? I can clearly see that the door that was restricted has a switch to the right inside this colosseum, so I doubt it's that one. It's probably gonna erupt out of nowhere, I bet."

I felt confident from my achievements thus far and went with my own word, impulsively.

Hastily, I typed: "Words".

"Oh fuck."

Exactly matching my typing speed came a denying sound and the screen proceed to say that I only had one shot.

"I didn't even think through this. Damn it, it's obvious... As far as I know, the best word to go with is..."

And as I typed the word: "The" calmly this time, I was successful. If someone were to argue that this is my lucky day, I would only argue that it can possibly get even luckier.

"Wait, where is the--- Ah, there."

Hopelessly, I had begun to search for the item because nothing was emerging from the computer like last time, but as soon as I looked towards the door in the northwest direction, I saw a square hole beneath the manipulator switch with something inside it.

I naturally rushed towards the location of the door and took the item off the hole, which prompted the activation of a hidden door at my mirroring direction; far away to the north, from my perspective, if I turn around now.

As for the item, it wasn't wrapped up but it was painfully obvious what it was.

"A solid battery. It looks like it can fit inside the tablet. Might as well test it out, duh."

By kneeling down and resting on the cold ground, I placed my back on the steeled door and inserted the battery on the tablet's backside.

It took a while to load but as soon as it did, there was a percentage corner on the top right side of the tablet, so I immediately assumed that it was referring to the battery.

"10%? What the hell, this is dying!"

But then the true battery corner appeared on the top left side and in it, it had the symbol of infinity. As hard as it was for me to believe, it symbolized infinity; simply meaning that it was an infinite battery.

Unable to die. To go out of power. Virtual immortality incorporated into a tablet; right before my own two eyes.

Even so, that wasn't the true eye candy.

No, no, no...

What really got my attention and made my eyes supremely widen alongside bringing forth a bright radical smirk was the content that was shown to only I.

"This is...!!!"
