RUNNING THROUGH THE FOREST (HARU'S TEAM).
Breathing slows!
Haru is slowly losing his breath.
"At the very least, can anyone of you tell me where we are running to" Haru asks to his teammates (Orowaki and Damon).
None of them replies to him.
Both of them are out of breath as well.
Suddenly!
Haru falls down, on his knees.
Haru is rapidly inhaling and exhaling!
"Haru we gotta move fast, otherwise we will lose the race to the golden band" Orowaki.
Haru lifts his head up, puzzled and confused.
"What Golden Band are you talking about Senapai" Haru.
"The Band tgat needs to be placed in the podium" Damon.
Haru's head falls down.
"But we don't know where it is Senapai" Haru replies back.
Orowaki takes a scroll. The scroll was hidden inside his long sleeve dress.
"We have a clue though" Orowaki moves the scroll towards Haru.
Orowaki hands over the scroll to Haru.
"Now let's see what is this" Haru.
Haru slides the scroll downwards to open it.
"Congratulations reader.
If you are reading this then that means yo7 have already eliminated a team already. And this is a reward for that.
The clue for the first Golden band is listed below" Haru.
Haru wides open this mouth.
"Senpai, you are awesome how did and where did you get this from" Haru to Orowaki.
A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER...
Ahh! Orowaki sceams sliently.
"It's so hard to suppress this Devil after I brought it outside" Orowaki.
He sits down.
And let's a long breath out.
"Wonder if Haru managed to successfully break Damon out. Do he need my help" Orowaki.
He takes a glance towards Jin and Jun, who are unconscious.
Suddenly!
They both (Jin and Jun) began to glow.
"Wait! What's happening here right now. Atleast give me a break" Orowaki panics.
Jin and Jun disappear.
Orowaki calms down.
"They must have been called back after being eliminated" Orowaki.
Orowaki stands up.
He starts to moves forward.
Something hits his legs.
Something rolls forward.
Orowaki gazes downwards to that object.
"Now what is this long round thing" Orowaki in confusion.
He picks it up.
Se sees a cloth hanging downwards attached to it.
He uses that to open the scroll.
He starts to read it.
"Congratulations to the winners who eliminated the first team in the Tokyo-Kyoto Games" Orowaki.
His eyes sparkle with happiness.
PRESENT...
"So that's where you got it from Senpai, but why didn't they announce about this earlier when they told the rules" Haru.
"Maybe they wanted to keep it as a bonus for the first team to eliminate a team" Orowaki.
"Yeah, bonuses are usually not told and kept a secret to add more fun, as they want" Damon.
Haru gazes back towards the scroll.
"The clue is the golden band is hidden in a place where The Sun's Lght can't be reached" Haru.
Haru shrinks his eyes.
"A place where sunlight can't be reached" Haru.
Orowaki also joins him in the confusion.
"Where is that place, I also wonder" Orowaki.
Damon gets let's a frustrated vouce out after hearing that.
"You both are idiots for real" Damon.
Orowaki and Haru glances at Damon.
"Do you know the answer to it" Haru and Orowaki.
Damon moves his eyes from the direction of their gazes.
"I can only just make a guess about it" Damon.
Orowaki's mouth widdens up.
"So you are finally also into Gambling Damon" Orowaki.
Damon looks towards Orowaki.
"I only told I'll guess you idiot and that does not have any relation with gambling" Damon.
Haru sneaks the scroll from Damon's hand.
And reads the rest of the scroll.
Then he interferes between Damon and Orowaki.
"Ah.... Damon Senpai, how many guess do you have" Haru.
"Just a couples of guesses I guess" Damon.
Haru shows him the rest of the scroll.
"It says that you can only have one attempt at this and afte that the scroll will disappear" Haru.
Orowaki and Damon stop their argument.
"So Damon, what are your guesses" Orowaki to Damon.
Damon keeps his palm on his forehead and slides downwards to his eyes and closes it.
"Their are not so vast probability though. It has to be out of these two places I am definite about it" Damon thinking.
A few moments pass.
Damon opens his eyes.
"Their are only two possibilities then. And One of them have to right" Damon.
He draws Haru's and Orowaki's attention.
"It could either be in a placed very enclosed by that has no way to let the sunlight enter or the night time when there is no sunlight" Damon.
Orowaki and Haru starts to think as well.
"But which one is correct" Orowaki.
"I think that we can cut of the night one, because if it was night there won't be a band roaming around freely" Damon.
Haru and Orowaki both are amazed.
"Maybe gambling plus intelligence is good" Orowaki.
Damon bites his lips after hearing that.
"Let's enter it here Senpai" Haru.
"But how do we enter it" Orowaki.
"Read the procedure" Damon.
Haru begans to read it out.
"Place your covenant mark or blood of the contestant here and recite the answer, the contestant who found this" Haru.
Damon moves backwards after hearing the last sentence. Then Orowaki moves forward.
"Senpai, you need to use your blood here because you don't have a covenant nark" Haru.
Orowaki bits off his thumb fingers tip.
"Here goes nothing" Orowaki.
He place his finger on a mark in the scroll.
The scroll glows.
Suddenly the atmosphere closes and id divided.
Orowaki is left alone in a shallow space without his teammates.
"Contestant, you shall now give your answer to me right now" Announcer.
"A place enclosed where nobody sunlight can't enter" Orowaki without any hesitation.
Announcer becomes silent for a moment.
"We need that specific place name dear contestant" Announcer.
Orowaki goes silent.
"This wasn't planned. How can I answer this" Orowaki thinking.
Orowaki starts looking around him in the shallow space.
"Can you tell me where we are right now" Orowaki.
He is doing his to buy sometime.
"Well, this is a seprate space created by me where no one can hear our conversation. For your knowledge the time here runs as fast as the time runs outside world. So now please make your answer quick" Announcer.
Orowaki clenches his fists.
"If only Damon was here. He would have answered" Orowaki falling silent.
He can't think of any answer.
Suddenly a vague smile falls on his face.
"That's why I have to answer without wasting time. Because I am Orowaki and I know how to find the answer without thinking" Orowaki still thinking.
He speaks to the Announcer.
"The answer, where no light can enter is a, Cave" Orowaki.
Orowaki could sense his heart pounding to his chest.
"Bingo! You are right contestant. And as your reward here is the location of the island" Announcer.
THE SHALLOW SPACE CLOSES AND OROWAKI IS RETURNED TO THE REALITY.
"Look Senpai is back" Haru.
Damon stands up from.
"Did you get it, was I right?" Damon.
Orowaki looks disappointed.
"No you didn't Damon" Orowaki.
Haru's and Damon's face changes.
"Looks like we lost our chance" Haru.
"Did I told you we lost, let me complete first" Orowaki.
Haru's face starts to bloom again.
"Damon you missed something to say, and you know how I found it, by gambling my brain" Orowaki.
Damon gets mad.
"Don't tell me that a gambler can beat me" Damon.
"Yes I can. You only said a close enclosed area and I have to tell the exact area which was" Orowaki.
Haru leaps forward to Orowaki.
"The area by gambling I got was a Cave. The Cave is located exactly a two hundred meters to the north from where we are now standing from" Orowaki.
Damon doesn't look surprised.
"I knew it was a cave, but didn't knew it had to be that detailed" Damon.
Damon starts to move.
"Many reasons for your failure. Accept that gambling can sometimes be useful" Orowaki.
Haru starts to follow behind Damon.
"We are leaving you behind if you don't want to come" Damon.
Orowaki also starts to follow them as well...

IN THE LAB (IN THE ISLAND)...
Shallow breath!
Toxin is letting out shallow breath.
"I want to open my eyes, but I can't. No I somehow have to open my eyes" Toxin's thoughts.
Toxin slowly opens his eyes.
He realises that he is slanding towards a wall by support.
He saw Riya who was tied and he looks at him and he was tied as well.
"Riya, how did we end up here and where are we" Toxin.
Riya doesn't reply.
She is looking directly infront of her.
"Riya, why are you not speaking and what are you looking at" Toxin.
Toxin's voice was breaking slowly.
"Hey Toxin-Chan isn't that lady" Riya speaks her voice trembling.
Her voice was filled with fear, noticed by Toxin.
Toxin tries to take a look but he can't turn himself.
"Who is that!" Toxin.
He uses his full energy to turn towards the direction Riya was looking.
He couldn't see clearly at first.
He blinks his eye to see who that is.
"No, this can't be. You helped him so much, he trusted you" Toxin his voice breaks down with disbelief he witnessed...
