“Buzz off! I don’t care whether you get injured or not, just get out of my way!” Acer, who looks like a manipulated marionette, moved his body ridiculously while shouting thunderously and emerged from the crowd of hallway. Thankfully, all the other researchers had to drew themselves right against the wall. He—with the working clothes that makes him look comparably shorter— stirred his stubby fingers in the air and moved a big stone in the laboratory. Even though Acer invented this equipment that allows people to move heavy objects without touching few months ago, the equipment was struggling to move the heavy stone. Due to his red hair, he looked a lot like a thin maple tree. Unlike Acer’s gaunt look, his cave echo-like deep voice spoke. “Look what I found!” “What is this huge stone?” Amanda, who understands Acer’s prodigious talent though his geeky personality, took off the white gloves and mask then asked. “Nice observation there. Yes, this is a gigantic stone called, Trovant. I took him from Costesti of Romania. But, what would you say if this guy has growth ring and grows by rain?” “I would ask whether this is a tree, but I can tell. This isn’t even a tree, right?” “Yes, the surface is the sand and center is composed of rock. Here, take a look at this.” The screen of Acer’s device showed the statistics and results of the composition. Amanda examined the data with furrowing her brows for a while and asked. “I get all the chemical composition, but what is this one labeled with question mark over here?” “Well, I am not sure about that. Since that didn’t show on the device that great-Acer invented, I surmise it’s a composition that has never been discovered. I guess discovery of this composition will be a key to unlock the riddle ... ... middle of paper ... ...ust like an ignited fire. Then, Acer walked toward the biggest Trovant and poured the content in the beaker. He knew that the Trovant would expand awfully, so that he ran away like a mouse with a fire on his tail. Amanda giggled at the Acer’s coward behavior and chased his back. Also, the several researchers who followed Acer and Amanda chased their back without knowing the reason. Few minutes later, they witnessed the Trovant getting bigger. Its speed of growth ascended their imagination and soon, it became a size of a mountain. Then the center of Trovant cracked and acute and red tentacles emerged from it. “Sir, as I check it with my detector, it is a living thing.” The number of red tentacles surprisingly increased and the organisms Acher never witnessed before swarmed from the Trovant. Acer and Amanda looked each other in great fear. “Amanda… What have I done?”
