Extraordinary Minds: Road to Hell

Chapter 15: Potential Intel

The group made their way to the dining hall, deciding to start the day with breakfast. However, considering Akira had been..rather starving himself the past few days. Kentaro thought for a minute.

"In most cases like this, from my nutritionist studies..If someone starves themselves for a bit of time. Foods rich in Protein tend to help or even Fruits and Vegetables. How's about I whip up a fruit salad or something?"

"Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy." A voice called out from a distance, before Monodev appeared wearing a Monochrome Apron and Chefs Hat.

"AHHH!" Riku shouted from the sudden appearance of Monodev.

"Oh for gods sake.." Aratani said. "He's back?"

"But of course! I was getting so upset worrying over little Akiras depression and all! The poor boy just had his brother taken after all." Monodev said in a somber tone.

"That's because YOU-" Mitsuko stopped himself. He didn't want to upset Akira more, or risk the potential of making him cry again.

"So what exactly do you want?" Yumico asked in a blunt tone, clearly not willing to put up with Monodev whatsoever.

"Oh? What do I want? Well! I wanna give you all a nice reward! Because oh goodness, everyone's hates little ol me sooo much! So why not a nice little incentive to award you idiots?"

Maeko looked at Monodev with the coldest stare. "That sounded very much like a passive aggressive statement."

Lily chuckled. "And yet y'all say I'm passive aggressive as hell."

Riku looked to Lily with a blunt stare. "Because you are."

"So..what's the awarddd?" Yutaka asked from his puppet.

"I'm glad you asked! Everytime one of you sentimental idiots commits a murder, and gets executed if caught..Then the remaining survivors will gain access to a new floor! I've also added a few small changes while you've all been in deep sadness and all." Monodev said.

"What..Changed exactly?" Seiichi asked nervously.

"Well, musclehead. Let me tell you! If a student in the facility dies, then you have permanent access to their Ultimate Lab! I don't want my dear students getting ever so bored in this facility, plus it gives more of an incentive for you idiots to remember each other when dead, and cry allll about it! Boo hoo, how so very sad! Someone you barely knew for a few days is dead, and your so called leader is-"

"I suggest you shut your mouth."

"Ehh?! Who dared talk back to me like that?!" Monodev shouted.

Akira stepped forward. "I did. So shut up."

Lily looked around. "Ok where's my popcorn, shits going down."

"Young man. Remember the rules? DO NOT. DEFY. YOUR HEADMASTER."

"Or what? You gonna kill me?" Akira asked. "That goes against your little game after all, does it not?"

"GRRRRR." Monodev groaned in anger as Akira smirked.

"Awee. What's the matter? Gonna cry?" Riku asked.

Mitsuko groaned. "Guys, Cmon. Dont antagonize him. The worst we want is to get on his bad side."

"Youre goddamn right you don't wanna get on my bad side!" Monodev shouted. "Anyways! Make your way to the stairs that lead to the basement! You'll see the stairs that are ascending are now open to you!" Monodev said as he disappeared.

"Alright, so if theres a new floor. I suggest we split up." Yumico suggested

"Main question is..How do we split ourselves up when 14 of us are.." Maeko fell silent.
