In a dark room only illuminated by broken glowing orbs scattered around giving off a dim light loud grunts followed by smashing sounds could be heard. Weirdly in the centre of the room laid people were asleep and weren't awakened by the loud disturbance currently ongoing. "Fuck it's really unfair you awakened super strength," Said Shohei loudly gasping for air as he looked at his friend full of jealously, seeing him continually lift a comically large axe and smash the secret entrance they found. Alex took a short break to catch his breath "Probably cause I spend more time in the gym than you, also what are you complaining about, your strength is clearly better than before otherwise you definitely have been able to lift this axe and swing it" He said, "Yeah but I had to hold it with both my hands and use all my strength to swing it, compared to me you a monster who lifted it single handily and swung it as if it was light as a feather" Shohei sighed still looking at his friend with envy. "At least we confirmed your isekai theory, ain't no way anybody on earth would build such a huge axe to use in battle. Maybe you gained superintelligence" Alex mocked his best friend gaining himself a look of disdain from Shohei "If you didn't spend so much time at that MMA gym and more In school you'd have super intelligence too". "Come on can you guys stop fighting, " Haruhi said annoyed, she looked the most exhausted out of three, she also gained more strength allowing her to help but much less compared to Shohei much less Alex. Haruhi and Shohei were both using maces as they couldn't lift the larger than man axe Alex was using but unfortunately despite using all their strength they barely made a tiny dent on the wall, while Alex was able to make scratches on the wall they where only millimetres deep compared to the large axe he was using. "Seriously, God knows how long we've been trying to make a hole on this wall. Even all of us striking at the same place has barely made a dent on this wall. What the fuck is it made out off, were more likely to run out of energy and starve to death than make a hole large enough for a hand to stick through" Alex said in frustration, "I think we should take a break and try to figure out how to wake everyone up. How are they still sleeping with the noise we made, are they in a coma? "Shohei said looking at his classmates, worried they might actually be in a coma. "Hey Haruhi why don't you try using your healing abilities on them, maybe they might wake up" Suggested Alex, Haruhi still gasping for air nodded before heading towards her classmates but was stopped by Alex "Take a short break first, then heal them up, I and Shohei will continue trying to make the hole." He said before getting back to smashing his huge axe on the wall, "Hopefully you can wake up and they got abilities that can help us blow a hole through this fucking secret entrance" Shohei sighed

Shohei and Alex both continued tolling away at the wall as Haruhi took a short break and before she realized it fell asleep. Shohei and Alex both stopped and decided to take a nap too, they couldn't tell how much time passed at all in here. A few of their classmates had watches but they stopped working and opening them up showed that somehow the parts inside had rusted and corroded. They wondered if that happened to their phones and broke apart one to check and it also had a rusted and corroded inside. They slept for an unknown period of time before Haruhi woke up and seeing both Shohei and Alex fast asleep decided to sit down and relax while waiting for the both of them to wake up before trying to heal their classmates. In the quiet of the room, other than some breathing and occasional groans, the could be heard gave the room an eerie aura to Haruhi who just sat there alone being the only one awake. She sat there in silence trying her best to distract herself but to her dismay, she couldn't. Sighing she got up and resolved herself, leaving both Alex and Shohei asleep she approached her classmates. She saw Takashi calmly lying there on the floor, one might think he was dead if it wasn't for seeing his rising and falling chest. "Please work" She softly prayed to herself, clenching her fist to her chest, she fixed up Takashi's hair and uniform like a caring mother, got on her knees taking a deep breath softly held his hand and followed the feeling or instinct she felt when she healed Shohei and tried to repeat it. Tiny glowing lights illuminating her hands softly flowed from her hands and entered Takashi's body causing Haruhi to release a sigh of relief. She patiently kept her abilities going not at all frustrated by the lack of reaction from Takashi. "What a beautiful image, a beautiful girl softly healing and taking care of the person she loves" Shohei whispered to his friend not wishing to talk too loud to disturb the scene his seeing. Alex didn't reply to his friend and just calmly looked at the scene, they had both woken up just now at the same time, just in time to see this scene. "Looks like you were right huh Alex, as long Takashi exists you would have no chance" Shohei patted his friend back trying to comfort him and his hand was smacked away in response. Shohei decided to stop teasing his friend 'He needs some space to get over his broken heart' If Alex knew what he was thinking he would stop holding back and punch his friend and have Haruhi heal him up. They both sat in silence and watched Haruhi at work, enjoying the beautiful scene. Eventually, both got tired and bored of the scene in front of them, the lack of reaction from Takashi made them both think that Haruhi's powers aren't working on him. Compared to their frustration and boredom Haruhi was still completely calm and patient as she continued using her powers not minding that Takashi has shown no reaction to her abilities at all. "Is this what a woman in love looks like? Damn, I'm starting to get really jealous, why don't I have anyone like her in my life" Shohei whispered to Alex deciding to make idle talk, "Alex if I was in a coma-like everyone else and you had Haruhi's healing powers would you show the same level of patience as her?", Alex showed a look of disdain "If you didn't wake up or show any reaction in the first 10 seconds I would give up", "Come on Alex don't be cruel like that, after all the time we've known each other for" Shohei continued to tease his friend but Alex once again decided to ignore him. Finally, after some time when Alex thought was about to lose it from hearing Shohei continually talk they both heard a loud groan from Takashi, Seeing his chance to free himself from his friend he decided to get up and approach them, he didn't care even if this wasn't a sign of Takashi waking up, he just wanted to escape from Shohei's constant talking. It seemed their luck was finally turning around as when he saw Takashi's face he could see his eyelids Trembling, Haruhi excited pushed herself more hoping he could wake up faster. "Who?" Was the first words to come out of Takashi's mouth frowning as he felt someone holding his hand, "It's me" Haruhi replied happily seeing him finally wake up. "Looks like our sleeping beauty finally woke up, " Shohei said as he also approached them when he heard Takashi moan," Huh, Shohei, Alex, " Takashi asked in confusion, when he opened his eye the first scene he was Haruhi on her knees and Alex and Takashi standing over him, "Haruhi what's going on, " Takashi asked Haruhi cause he was the closest to her compared to Alex and Shohei but their reunion was broken up by more moans from their classmates as they also started waking up, "We will explain everything along with everyone else after they've finished waking up", they felt relieved seeing their classmates wake up but heavier weights on the shoulders because they didn't know if they were able to escape from here.
