"BRRRING—BRRRING!"
The sound of the bell ringing pierced through the entire lobby and reached Ratsujin's ear.
"AAHHHH....!!"
Ratsujin was startled by the intense sound of the bell. The bell was so loud that it caused Ratsujin to flinch his eyes and cover his ears.
The bell rang for an entire minute.
"......."
A minute later, Ratsujin slowly removed his hands from his ears to check if the bell was still ringing. After reassuring himself that the bell had stopped ringing, he slowly opened his eyes.
"What...!"
Ratsujin's eyes widened in confusion as he opened his eyes and spoke out loud in confusion.
Ratsujin's crimson eyes were observing the entire lobby as he spoke to himself. "Where is everyone...?"
The entire lobby was empty. There was no one in the lobby except for Ratsujin. The enormous crowd somehow vanished into thin air, leaving Ratsujin confused and alone.
Ratsujin spoke to himself as his brain tried to process everything that just had happened. "Everyone disappeared after the bell ring...."
"Bell Ring....."
Ratsujin's eyes widened in shock as he realized something.
"That Bell....."
"That Bell Must Have Meant The Class Is Starting!!!"
"My Class Will Also Be Starting....."
"Skrrt—!"
As soon as Ratsujin finished, he swiftly did a 180-degree turn allowing his shoes to skit on the lobby floor.
"I Must Find My Classroom...." Ratsujin spoke to himself as he began to run in the lobby.
"Skrrt—thud—thud!"
Ratsujin's shoes were sliding with each step he took as he continued to run into an endless lobby. His eyes were looking at each door he passed through, trying to spot his classroom door.
"Maybe It's around this corner....." Ratsujin spoke to himself while continuing to run across the lobby. He was heading towards a corner before him, hoping his classroom will be there.
Just as Ratsujin was about to reach the corner, he spotted a man walking out of the corner. The man was wearing a gray coat and pants with a white shirt and a VA emblem on his coat. The man did not see Ratsujin. He was using his phone while walking.
"Screeeeeeeeeee—!"
"Baammm....!!"
Ratsujin's shoes slid through the lobby floor as he tried to stop himself, but he was running at such a pace that he crashed into the man unwillingly. Both Ratsujin and the man fell to the ground.
"What in the w..."
The murmured as he fell to the ground but stopped himself as he spotted Ratsujin on the ground before him.
Ratsujin's eyes widened in fear as he heard the man's voice. Ratsujin looked left and right till he spotted the man's phone. He picked up the phone as soon as he spotted it and handed it over to the man while cleaning the back and forth of the phone with his hands.
Ratsujin bowed before the man as he began to ask for an apology.
"I am Sorry....."
"I am Sorry....."
"Please forgive me. I was running around careless."
Just as Ratsujin finished, he swiftly stood up and decided to walk away before the man could get angry at him or his mind could process everything just had happened to him.
Ratsujin flinched his eyes and spoke to him while walking away. The fear was crystal clear on Ratsujin's face.
"Please Don't call me....."
"Please Don't call me....."
"Please Don't call me....."
"Please..... Please..... Please..... Please....." Ratsujin hoped that he could escape from the man's vision before he could even process anything.
"Hey....!!!"
"You Stop There!!!"
The man called Ratsujin in his stern voice.
"....."
Ratsujin stopped the moment he heard the man's voice. "He called me," Ratsujin spoke to himself before turning around to face the man's fury.
