Mental Pressure

It didn't take long for Kuma to wake up from his "nap" if you could call it that. "Oh, you're finally awake, well not like I can say that myself as I probably was unconscious far longer than you, and I'm sorry for that." Alexander said with a straight face.

Kuma just stared and vaguely said. "No worries."

"Well, you probably wondering what to do here next, but that will have to wait for later as right now we might have a more pressing matter than that as you have a tracker chip inside your head." even when telling Kuma something like that, it didn't seem to have surprised him at all.

"Not surprised it seems, but I don't worry, I might be able to remove it with a 70% guarantee, I know that might not be the kind of number you might want to hear, but as I'm no neurosurgeon, I have no 100% guarantee." But it seems like when Alexander said, this made Kuma show slight surprise, but Alexander didn't know what kind of astonishment it was.

"I have already checked for myself before telling you this as I wasn't sure, and after having a looking, I'm now sure of it, so before trying anything, I want your consent first." Alexander said this without showing any signs of hesitation on his face.

Staring at Alexander for a while, seeming to contemplate whether to do this or not and Alexander himself understood as if he had those numbers himself, he would need time to think this through as they weren't 100%.

Kuma seemed to have finally come to a conclusion as he looked at Alexander with sent a slight shiver in his spine even, as it seemed, completely emotionless, it showed strong emotion.

"I still don't completely trust you, but I will allow you." Seeing how serious he was, Alexander didn't want to waste any time on small talk, so he prepared himself for the coming "operation".

"Not something you might want to hear, but I don't know if this will hurt or not, just saying." He just wanted to clarify and prepare Kuma for it, so he went close to Kuma.

Taking a short breath, Alexander mentally prepares himself, trying to keep himself in check and focused.

Raising his hand towards Kuma's head, but this time Alexander felt pressure for the first time, not from Kuma but mental pressure.

Closing his eyes for better perception, he locates the chip and moves it slowly with his vibrations trying to propel it away from the brain, so he can destroy it and not cause severe damage to the brain.

A few minutes later, Alexander got the chip away from the brain and moved it towards a part where there wasn't as much brain trying to give himself some extra workspace.

As now comes the hard part, so he is forced to destroy it, but the hard part is that as he still doesn't have much space to work on, he won't be able to contain potential explosion or sparks coming from the chip if 100% guarantee.

That's why he gave Kuma the 70% as the hard part wasn't to move it and remove it from the brain, but it was to destroy it while it's in his head.

But why didn't he remove it from his head, let us say you have no experience with brains! Would you even dare to open up a hole in someone's head? No!"

Surrounding, the chip with tightly condensed vibration to contain any sort of "attacks" on his brain, and that was something he found out one day when he was training. He just wanted to test to see if he could protect himself from an explosion, and it worked.

Sure it took some time to master, but hard work pays off when it comes to training.

When the chip finally was fully engulfed, Alexander knew that it was time, so he send a small vibration towards the chip to destroy it from the inside.

The moment the chip got destroyed, sparks began to shot out from it, but they got instantly dissolved by the vibrations, sure it wasn't easy, but they didn't harm the brain.

"I removed it now, and all I want you to do for me is tell me your name so I can check on something." He said calmly, not wanting to anger him up for no reason.

"Bartholomew Kuma." Hearing that, Alexander finally heaved a sigh of relief as he didn't hear any problems. He has seen enough medical shows back home, so he knew that if they can't remember something or speak properly, something went wrong more than that he can't remember.

"Good seems like nothing is wrong 'for the time being.'" He said as he thought the last part in his head.

"Now too, what I wanted to say, I will help you get to the Revolutionary Army's HQ, but the only problem is that you will have to tell me where to go." Alexander looked at him with the same emotionless face as Kuma shows right now.

"That might be a lot for you to tell me, but that's your only way to survive right now as I don't know any other place to take you to as I left my life compass behind to help you." After saying that, Kuma seemed to have started thinking of what to do next.

"Okay, I will trust you for the moment as I see no other way right now out of this predicament." Kuma said

Saying Kuma began to tell him the location of the Revolutionary Army's HQ as they didn't know where they were, it took some time to figure out the exact direction, and after some time, they were on their way towards the right direction.
