Natalie sighs after she saw Terrence finished tying up the terrorist he was fighting. She could finally breathe a little.“Kinda disappointing he couldn’t use the other cables he had effortlessly put up. It would be a spectacle.” Kal commented with a smile as he leans back in his chair. He had returned to his seat and Natalie is sitting in her own chair between Sheena and him.“He doesn’t have much time. He knows the others are in a jam above that floor.” Sheena said. But she’s not looking at Terrence’s camera.Kal looks doubtful. “Does he really, though?”No one responds to that because the two girls are looking at the other camera window being played in Kal’s computer. It shows the view from Jake’s camera, and it could be seen that the seniors have sustained some injuries. “Oh… Jake and the others are looking bad. Can’t they use their potions?”She presses the intercom to contact Jake, but Natalie stops her. Sheena looks at her in confusion, but then she explains.“They have consume
“W-Who are you? You’re not wearing police uniform.” The boy stands protectively in front of the girl. It’s clear that he’s wary of me, which is very cute of him. “Well, I come from the academy. Have you ever heard of Orion Terrace?” I show him my Arrow. The girl, Ruby, gasps. “Orion Terrace?! My father and uncle graduated from Orion Terrace!” I smile widely at her. “Really?! Then you’re a family! I’ll make sure you get home safely!” She looked bright when I said that, but the boy stops her from coming to me. “Wait, Ruby! He may be lying!” “B-But, Ian… He’s very different from the one chasing us before.” Ruby said nervously. The boy looks at me again, his bright green eyes observing me up and down. ‘He doesn’t look scary at all. But he has a weapon.’ I notice his eyes stop at my gun. Since he still seems wary, I take my gun and put in on the floor slowly. Then I put my hands up and show him that they’re empty. “There. I’m unarmed. Are you still scared?” Ian looks angry. “I’m not
Moments ago, when Rean went up to 28th floor.“Cadet Rean, come in. Can you get to the meeting room?” The operator, Sheena, asked.Rean who was currently pulling a Pratta from his torso and slashing it with his sword, could not answer right away.A Pratta latched onto the back of right foot and immediately took a bit of his flesh. He grunted in pain.He threw the Pratta in his hand, then he slashed the one currently biting him. That one got its head slashed, but the thorny teeth had nestled, so he still had to rip it off. It’s painful because the teeth are rather deep, but he couldn’t risk their green blood sipping into his opened wounds or he would be poisoned.He threw the dead Pratta away and slashed another one that comes near. He had been doing this for the past minutes, just slashing through monsters that their dead bodies piled up around him. There are more than five Prattas left in the hallway, but he immediately comes for them rather than waiting them to come after him.The m
Rean opened his lips, but he hesitated. ‘The people who know about Terrence’s new ability are only the operators and myself. If I tell them that something is in there because Terrence said so, they won’t believe me. Even if I say that it’s from the operators, it’s questionable because they have always informed us with every piece of information that we don’t have to update each other.’ ‘I should choose the right words.’ Rean gripped his sword. He contemplated quickly before settled on— “Just, be careful.” Rufus looked at him weirdly. “What are you up to?” Rean shook his head calmly. “Just, maybe fatigue is messing with me.” He ran his fingers through his hair, pretending to relax. “Haa…” The females who saw this, both cadets and survivors, immediately felt their blood rushing to their cheeks. ‘He’s so handsome!’ Rean’s cheeks flushed red a bit. He wasn’t expecting that response at all. But at least it looked like it cleared him of suspicions. On the other hand, Rufus’s eyes twit
My eyes twitch when I see Rean looking at me rather brightly. ‘Why you look so relieved like that, you idiot?! Hurry up and beat him!’ I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I was expecting them to have beaten him already when I finally reach this floor. But now that they haven’t and I have opened this door, I have to help them. I stretch my hand to the man I saved. “Give me that.” The man looked confused. “Huh?” I look over to him and grab his umbrella instantly, surprising him. “Big brother…?” Ruby’s cute voice asked in concern. “Don’t worry, Ruby. Stay right here with Ian and the kind sir. I’ll be right back.” I send her a smile, then I go in and close the door. I feel so cool after I said that. But the second the door closed behind me, my smile immediately drops and my right eye twitches. “Why haven’t you defeated him, Rean?!” I pointed to our enemy. “BIG TALK FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST CAME!!” Rufus yelled back at me. I send him an annoyed look. “I wasn’t talking to you.” Rufu
In the midst of the smoke, there are two sounds that follow: a bang and a thud. When the smoke was clear, I can see the terrorist lying on the ground with his face down. I blow whistle on the launcher’s barrel. Then I take a look at the grenade launcher while smiling. “I wonder if the academy will let me keep this.” “You wish.” Rufus replied. I turn my attention to them. Rufus is kneeling on the ground, his face is full of sweats, while Rean is pushing himself off the ground, but he’s obviously tired. I pretend to be surprised and fake a gasp. “Zombies! Aaaa! I think I’m gonna use this launcher at them~! Faiyaa~!” I playfully aim the launcher at them. Rufus’s eye twitched and he grits his teeth scarily. His hand instantly reaches for the launcher with and yanks it from me. I scream and use all of my strength to pull it away. He let go after a few pulls, and I fall backwards because of it. Bang! “Ack!” My head accidentally hit the broken control panel behind me. I rub the back o
The last round of the grenade launcher is immediately shot, and it goes straight towards the giant canine.It hits right on its chest and explodes.Everyone on the other side of the floor all gasped in surprise.Knowing I hold the control for a few seconds, I tell the others. “Don’t just stand there! Call Rean through the Arrow and try the door again!”Guinevere immediately works on it. I can see her fiddling with her Arrow and her lips moving while Pierce and the male worker work on the door.I let them figure it out by themselves as I waste this gigantic hound’s attention.When the smoke clears, the dog is pawing its face, seemingly trying to put out the flames on the fur of its muzzle. But the coat under its jaw also suffers. Along with the fur on its muzzle, the previously shiny white coat of his front is now burnt and the skin underneath is shown.It looks like half zombie now and actually gives me goosebumps. “Ugh… You’re ugly.”The dog shakes its head and licks the wound on its
“Since you’ve now regrouped, hurry to the roof. The helicopter is already waiting.” Natalie said.“But Terrence is bleeding.” The nanny pointed to my foot, which blood is dripping from my pants onto the floor.“That was a Bernissian Lop. It has strong fangs. He needs to be treated immediately!” One of the female workers, the one I saved from 12th floor, said.Rean walks over to me and uses his sword to cut my pants from the knee down. I can hear the others gasp, and Ruby cries to her nanny. But I can’t really look at it myself because fatigue just increased all of a sudden.As he examines the wound, he asked. “Terrence, how does it feel?”“Uhh…” I didn’t answer immediately. My eyes droop for a second there, but I force myself awake. “It hurts.”“He’s exhausted.” Pierce said, observing my reaction.“He’s losing blood.” Rean replied.“I thought… I drank a potion…” I slur on my words a bit.“You did. It’s just not enough to replace the blood you lost.” Rean said. “Get me more potions and
