Chapter 159: The Bullet

"HAAHHA! Kid, It seems like my suspicions were correct. This new ability cause someone who is a lot more powerful to get hit. A little more control and we could have done some good damage. It would be difficult to even think of killing someone like her but I do doubt that you'd face someone of her caliber that often. At least all I can say now is that in the future, you'll have more wins." Hades seemed to be very excited.

Alex however, was just confused.. He clearly saw that Hana had dodged his bullets but still, he saw a small cut on Hana's face. Hana turned to Alex and gave him a big smile. Something that Alex kept in his brain for the rest of his life.

"You… You've learned a lot more tricks but I'm surprised why you didn't use this on Buster… If you did this, You might have scared him or played mind games with him, enough to just win." She looked happy with Alex.

Alex shook his head and spoke, "I don't know about that but I know that next time I won't be defeated. I can't think about ifs right now, can I?" HE was still distracted, thinking about what actually happened with the bullet.

Hana looked at her finger which had some blood on it. As soon as Hana was cut, she instantly healed. However, she did feel her cut once, which caused some blood to be on her finger. "You know, I do have a few extra questions to ask after seeing a bulled bend in mid air going that quickly but still, I can't physically understand how it bent that much to cut me… A huge amount of force would have been needed to bend the trajectory of the bullet so It must be something else…" She seemed to be slowly analyzing everything and figuring out how that attack worked.

Alex wanted answers as well, 'Hades, how did you do that? I feel like I'm the only one among the three here who has no clue what happened. The bullet was too fast for me to see any changes.' Alex was extremely curious.

However, Hades didn't answer. He seemed to be waiting for Hana to answer the question while trying to figure it out herself. Hana looked at Alex with a slightly surprised look and then spoke slowly, "Do you have control over your bullets like your weapons? Can you change your bullet's shapes as you can do with your guns? It makes sense that way because I see no bullet shells fall to the ground when you shoot them or even see a bullet anywhere in the room… So the only way that I can explain this is that you have complete control of your bullets or that your bullets are just small pieces of your weapon which you can manipulate easily as you did with the spear and gun." 

Alex looked at Hana in surprise as well. He knew exactly what Hades was capable of so hearing that from Hana made him understand what happened. 'So that's what it was… Did you bend the bulled in the air and then extended it at the side so you could cut her even if the bullet wasn't close enough?' He was starting to understand what Hades did.

Hana turned to Alex and nodded, "The only logical explanation here is that you expanded your bullet on top of bending it mid-air. Some impressive ability you have there… Something that'll become very useful in future battles, especially against reapers as with enough velocity, You could kill more than one with a single bullet." She seemed slightly impressed.

Hana then turned to the door and spoke, "Hmm, I was about to do more but it seems like My time here is up." She seemed to be looking at her phone, "You can train more if you want but if you want to sneak out of here, I'd say follow me." She chuckled. 

Alex smiled and nodded, "I do want to get out of here for now… I don't think I can train properly here at all with so many people just watching me like I'm some prisoner so I'd like to get more privacy to train." He was honest. 

Hana nodded and spoke, "Just follow me and say nothing. I'll drop you off at a nearby place where there are fewer people so you can go all out with training… It's a stupid thing that Ryan and other est have planned for you so I won't let their choice affect your growth… At least for now, I need you to get stronger." She seemed to be slightly worried about Alex's strength but didn't show this to Alex at all. 

Alex just smiled as he continued to follow Hana. Hana spoke as they walked to the train, "I thought I had more free time today but it seems like I have some extra work laid out for me… However, It is connected to that scientist so I don't mind it at all. The sooner I get my hands on him, the better." She was very serious.

Alex, Already very curious couldn't hold back anymore and questioned, "Can I ask you why you're chasing this guy? I always hear that you hate him to your core but I've never gotten an answer on why you actually hate this guy that much. Sure, He was disgusting in his experiments with children… But that's the only thing that  I read about him… I've never gotten any other files of him and was never told any stories on what he did before."

Hana paused for a tiny bit when she heard Alex. She turned towards Alex and then sighed, "If you want to know… Go to the main hospital in the city. There visit room 3005… I can't tell you the stories that don't belong to me but if you see the kids there, You'll understand why the hate… Don't go on and ask them what happened if they don't want to answer… They've lived a difficult life till now."
