Chapter 3

"Yaay, it's curry today!" a little girl behind Isaac said.

Isaac looked back and saw a young girl with long dark brown hair topped by two red pegs above her ears. She had light violet eyes and looked to be 9 years old.

"I'm sure there are chemicals that boost abilities mixed in it again, so it will taste like medicine." the boy behind her said, who seemed to be 12 years old. He had dark brown hair and pink eyes.

"But still, Ayu thinks that curry is a chock full of deliciousness that makes people happy. I wish Shun-oniichan would be here too. Then the three of us could eat together…" the girl said with glittering eyes.

"That's impossible. Nii-sans ability is way too protrusive"

"What was his ability again?"

The boy came closer to her ear and tried to whisper, but Isaac heard it nevertheless.

"Traveling through time…. "Time Leap"

"Whoa, that is that's too amazing!" the girl loudly said, before the boy shut her mouth.

"Because he has such a power that is too strong, he is now imprisoned."

"Poor Shun-oniichan."

"Yeah, you are right, so we let's not talk about this again."

After Isaac got his curry, he walked to the table where the girl and boy were sitting.

"Hello, can I take a seat here?"

The girl looked up and saw that Isaac was standing in front of their table.

"Sure. Here's enough room."

"Thanks. I am Isaac and what are your names?" asked Isaac, after sitting down.

"I am Ayumi Otosaka and that's my big brother."

"Hello, I'm Yu Otosaka," the boy beside her said.

"So, are you new here? I think I never saw you in Block D…" Ayumi asked.

"Yes, I'm only here since yesterday. What about you?"

"We are already here since a few years ago when our big brother was brought here and imprisoned. If you heard us, you probably already know why. So what's your ability if I may ask?" asked the boy named Yu.

"My abilities name is "Absolute Control". It basically means that I can control my whole body like I want to."

"Wooow, that's amazing," Ayumi said with glittering eyes.

"Not as impressive as your big brother. Do you two have abilities too?"

"I recently awakened my ability. I can control people for 5 seconds, but in that time my body loses consciousness. Ayumi doesn't have an ability. She's just here because it's highly possible that, if a sibling has an ability, the others have one too," Yu said.

"And what about your parents? Don't they miss you?"

"We don't have parents. They died when we were little kids so that our brother Shunsuke had to take care of us. We have an uncle too who tries to help us, but he lives pretty far away," Yu said.

"Your brother seems to be a really great person. How is he like?"

"Shu-oniichan is really great! He is 8 years older than me. He has dark grey hair, and light grey eyes and a lot of nice friends. But now they are all in another Block and Shu-oniichan is imprisoned… What about you, big brother? Isn't there anybody who misses you?" Ayumi said.

"I don't have any relatives here. I newly arrived in the city yesterday. Just when I bought a house, they came while I was sleeping and took me away."

"Wow, that sucks. You had really bad luck in that case. For now, you should try to adapt, because it's unlikely that they will ever let us go…" Yu said.

"But it's not that bad. We get food and besides the tests, we have free time and can do what we want, right? ~" Ayumi said.

"Right? ~", Isaac playfully said.

"The food only tastes like medicine…." Yu mumbled.

After speaking a bit more, he walked back to his room instead of staying. When he arrived, he sat down on his bad and started to condense his Qi. Slowly it formed into a human shape until it looked like Isaac.

This is a technique, where Isaac first forms an avatar out of his Qi and adds a little part of his soul so that he can split his consciousness and control it no matter what the distance and situation. The downside is, that it doesn't have a lot of strength, at least judged by his cultivation. It has at most 1 % of Isaacs strength so that he normally didn't use this technique. He usually only used it for spying, because the avatar can travel through walls and can be made invisible.

After everything was ready, he (the avatar) flew through the walls and started to look through the facility. All in all, there were only 3 other blocks beside his block. After he looked around and remembered all important passages and the like, he flew to the part, where the people with abilities, that were either too strong or risky, were being held.

There he found a guy with dark grey hair, who looked like the one Ayumi Otosaka described. He looked like 17, was tied up to a metal table and wore a leather-blindfold so that he couldn't move or see the slightest bit.

He passed through the wall so that he stood in front of him.

"Hi, are you Shunsuke Otosaka?"

The guy was surprised to suddenly hear a voice even though he didn't he the door or footsteps, but he quickly collected himself.

"Who are you? And why do you know my name? Is this telepathy?"

"You can call me Isaac. And I know your name thanks to your sister and your brother. I'm not speaking with you through telepathy, rather you could say, that I stand right in front of you…"

"You know Ayumi and Yu?"

"I only got to know them today. I'm rather new here, you know…"

"So, what do you want from me?" Shunsuke asked.

"Nothing special…I only made myself a picture of the whole facility and thought I should visit you."

"Do you want to escape?"

"Well, not really escape…I'm rather thinking about freeing the kids here…"

"Others tried that too… without a good plan, you won't succeed at all and will only be killed…"

"Don't worry about that. How do you think I was able to visit you without any notice? And that's only a small trick. How about it? Want to help me?"

"Why not, but as you can see, I am tied up. I can't move at all."

"Wait a moment." Isaac stepped back and created with his Qi a knife. Before Shunsuke was able to say anything else, Isaac already cut the leather belts around Shinnosuke's body. When he was able to move again, he took of his blindfold.

Shunsuke started to look around before he looked Isaac in the eyes.

"You know about my ability?", Shunsuke asked Isaac.

"Time Leap, right?"

"So you know... And you don't fear that I will just jump back and save myself?"

"I don't think so. I trust, that you would like to try changing this timeline first instead of immediately starting from the beginning." And even if, it wouldn't change much for me Isaac added in his head.

"So, when do you want to escape?"

"Tomorrow. I don't want to stay longer here than needed. I'll start before dinner. When it's time I hope you are ready and try to keep the kids safe. Just hide somewhere until it's over. And even if I don't succeed, you can still travel back."

"Sure. But before that, can you visit 4 other people who are here too? They are friends of mine and can definitely help."

"The more the better. How do they look like?" Isaac asked.

"They are all the same age as me. Takehito Kumagami has light brown hair tied to a ponytail. He can locate other ability users. Shichino has blonde hair, with one strand reaching the bottom of his nose, and dark brown eyes. His ability is Permeation, which makes him able to pass through walls but he gets severely tired each time. Then there's Maedomari who has black hair and blue eyes. He can erase memories if he touches you. And lastly is a girl named Medoki. She has long light salmon hair and maroon eyes. She can put others to sleep through hypnosis, but the flashback causes her to fall asleep too. Not every one of their abilities is useful for escape, but they can help you bring the kids out," Shunsuke explained.

"Ok, thank you. I will try to find them. Lastly, here's a charm of some sort. Just carry it with you tomorrow," Isaac said and created a charm behind his back, which he then gave Shunsuke.

"Till tomorrow."

After he was finished, he started to look for the other guys. The visits were not very eventful. Even though they were surprised at first, they heard him out and agreed.

Only the last visit with the girl named Medoki was a bit special. She thought he wants to attack her and tried to put him to sleep. In the end, he had to wait until she woke up before he was able to explain everything.
