Alexander made some tea and sat near the bed reading a book
While Elena looked at him dissatisfied, she used the phone to talk to him. “You look very comfortable.”
Alexander looked at her in surprise. " Is there a problem with that?."
Elena pointed at Rustin, whose skin turned green. “This boy’s skin has changed color three times now. This would be normal if it were a rainbow, but I don’t think this is normal for humans.”
Alexander shrugged. "He'll be fine as long as he's breathing."
"..." I don't think it will be okay when you talk like that
Alexander put the book down. “Why are you so worried? I thought you despised humans. I was expecting you to say something like ‘I don’t care about the death or life of this human’. ”
“He is the pet of my family's heiress. So he must be in good health to perform his job.”
Alexander stroked his chin in deep thought, and after a few seconds of thought he came to a final realization. “I guess being the pet of a pretty girl like Elizabeth wouldn't be so bad.”
"I didn't mean it that way." Elena replied angrily
“The way you say it makes me think that way.”
"Don't misinterpret my words."
Elena sighed resignedly. Dialogue with Alexander would lead to no results
Rustin's hand moved slightly and his skin color became normal again
Alexander and Elena's eyes focused on him
Rustin made a soft sound and started trying to open his eyes
Elena sat on the floor and leaned her back against the wall like a normal doll
After a few attempts, Rustin succeeded in opening his eyes and began to carefully examine his surroundings
" where am I?." Rustin asked uncertainly
Alexander waved his hand and smiled cheerfully. "Welcome back. I wanted to bring a cake to celebrate your safe return, but I didn't know when you would wake up."
Rustin stared at Alexander's face for a long time
Alexander became worried. “What did you see there?”
He didn't lose his mind there, did he?
“You knew that...” Rustin whispered
"Well, you weren't supposed to have this experience so early." Alexander explained

Rustin got up and threw the pillow towards Alexander
But Alexander managed to avoid the pillow
After his first attempts failed, Rustin tried to punch Alexander in the face
But Alexander was able to avoid all these blows without any problem
"Do you know what I've been through?" Rustin shouted as he angrily tried to hit Alexander
Alexander grabbed Rustin's fist. “I know, you're not the only one who's had this experience.”
Rustin's movements stopped and he looked at Alexander in shock
He was tortured for an unknown period of time. He felt like he spent days inside those illusions
Even though he knew that all of this was just an illusion, this experience left scars inside him
But he was shocked to learn that Alexander had gone through this too
What kind of illusions did Alexander see?
Rustin had to admit that Alexander's case was more complex and his circumstances more difficult
So the illusions he will experience will be more cruel
Did he see Seraphina abandoning him?
Did he witness his family mercilessly ostracizing him?
Did he use this dose more than once, and if so, how many times did he have to experience this feeling?
There were dozens of questions running through Rustin's mind
“You seem angry. If hitting me will ease your anger, come to me.” Alexander turned his head to offer his cheek for Rustin to hit
Rustin waved his hand fidgetingly. “It won't be any good if you let me hit you like this.”
“Do you want me to hit myself?”
Rustin sighed tiredly as he sat on the edge of the bed. He was mentally tired and all he wanted was some rest in a place free of noise.
Alexander sat on the chair and looked at him with pity
Rustin thought Alexander would say some words to calm him down
But the words that came out of Alexander's mouth were completely different from what Rustin expected. " are you hungry?."
Roar!
A sound came from Rustin's stomach
'...' Rustin looked at his stomach in amazement
This is the first time he heard such a sound coming from his stomach
Suddenly he felt pain coming from his stomach, it was as if he had been starved for months
Alexander smiled as he looked at Rustin, who was writhing in pain. “Wait a minute and the food will come.”
Ring!
Seconds after Alexander's words, the apartment bell rang
Alexander got up and opened the door, revealing a delivery man whose hands were laden with meals
“Sir, did you order—” Before the deliveryman could finish his sentence, he was attacked by Rustin
The deliveryman dropped the food and took a few steps back
Rustin got down on his knee, grabbed the fried chicken, and began eating it greedily
“Leave the food here and run away...” Alexander gave him the money and urged him to run away
The deliveryman threw the food on the ground and ran for his life
After Rustin finished eating three boxes of food, his eyes became clear and he looked around helplessly. " what happened to me?."
"Your behavior is normal. You're lucky you don't see what happens to me when I'm starving."
“Oh...” Rustin replied coldly, putting a chicken wing in his mouth
“Well, it looks like you're ready...” Alexander pointed his finger into the air. "Let's go to the silent hill..."
"..." again?
“It's late, can we postpone training?” Rustin tried to evade training
He's had a hard day and wants to rest in his room for a while
"Have you not heard of the proverb 'Strike while the iron is hot'. "
"..." But I'm not metal
“Let's go...” Alexander left the room and did not give Rustin any chance to object. But he quickly returned to the room and pointed to Rustin. "Put something on before you go out."
“...” Rustin looked at himself and realized that he had completely forgotten that he was wearing almost nothing
he shook his head as he picked up his clothes that had been thrown aside
---------------------
The delivery man ran out of the male dormitory
Not only had he had to transport a large amount of food, he had also been attacked by a man wearing nothing but his underwear
After the delivery man made sure that he was safe, he stopped running, but was moving quickly towards his motorcycle, consoling himself. “I don't think it could get any worse.”
But the delivery man stopped when he saw that there was a man wearing a black suit and sunglasses standing near his motorcycle.
Who wears sunglasses in the middle of the night?...The delivery man raised his guard when he noticed this suspicious man approaching him.
The man pulled out a security badge from his suit. "I'm from academy security. I want to ask you some questions."
"..." I think it could get worse
------------
Rick returned to the apartment where the agents were gathering
An apartment in the building opposite the male dormitory was evacuated so they could monitor Alexander around the clock
But they began to become suspicious of Alexander's movements, especially after he took a stranger into his apartment
They took advantage of the fact that there was a deliveryman who delivered food to Alexander's apartment, so they interrogated him to get the details of what was happening there.
It was decided that Rick would go there after losing in a game of rock-paper-scissors
Ten minutes later, Rick returned carrying a small notebook
"What's up, Rick..." Sonia greeted him
Rick placed his notebook on a nearby table, looking deep in thought
" What is the problem?." Phryne approached him and asked
"I don't know..." Rick took off his sunglasses. “But that man told me some strange things.”
"Oh, I bet it's not as weird as those things we saw in the park." Sonia sneered as she remembered how Alexander used the whip to beat Rustin
Rick rubbed his neck lightly. “He told me that Alexander ordered a meal sufficient for thirteen people.”
"Aren't there only two people in that room?" Sonia asked, looking at Phryne, who informed them that Alexander and Rustin were the only ones in that place
“The delivery man told me that he was attacked by a boy who was wearing only underwear.” Rick told them what was puzzling him
“A boy in only his underwear?” Phryne asked in amazement
"Yes...I asked him several times to confirm what I heard. He confirmed that a boy wearing only underwear attacked him and started eating fried chicken lying on the floor."
"..." What were they doing there?
