*Kyro's POV* (time, 9:17 o'clock)
A loud scream was suddenly heard.
"What was that?" Xyrus asked quickly.
I hope it's not... Ugh, we need to check.
"Kyro, pull yourself together, they're getting close," Eunice's voice suddenly echoed, adjusting the large speakers we took from the Stage.
She's an assassin from Unit C. Her weapon design consists of needles, and she added a button to make her weapon bigger.
"Kyro, Eunice, I can see them," Xyrus said worriedly, looking at the units being destroyed by the spheres.
"Okay, let's go," Eunice said, standing up and pulling me away from our current location.
"Where there's food, they'll go," she added.
We quickly hid in Unit E, while the speakers we set up were positioned in Club E.
Xyrus had already gotten his weapon earlier when Eunice introduced herself. As the spheres approached the speakers, Xyrus suddenly started singing.
"Wise Men Say, Only Fools Rush In" was the first line, and the spheres stopped moving.
"But, I can't help falling in love, with you" was the last line, and the spheres fell asleep.
"Let's end this," Eunice said.
However, I took a moment to look at one of the largest spheres. I saw Krypton's unconscious body. I was shocked to see him. Next to him was Jacob. On the lower tentacles, I saw other students, but one of them caught my attention.
"P-psy," I whispered, recognizing the face. How did they all end up like this? I looked at Xyrus, and I saw pity in his eyes, just like Eunice's, as they gazed at the students' bodies.
"Eunice," I called out, looking down.
"Press it," I added, and Xyrus suddenly moved.
"Kyro," he said in a sorrowful tone. As he approached me, I stepped away from him. I walked towards Krypton's body and gently laid down the pieces of their bodies.
Krypton, Jacob, and Psy. I'm sorry.
Eunice laid down the other students' bodies, while Xyrus carried it in the unit we were hiding in.
After that... "3, 2, 1." A loud explosion echoed throughout Club E.
It's over.
It's done.
Farewell.
*Kelvin's POV* (9:33 o'clock)
I wonder how they're doing. I couldn't contact Kyro. I've been calling him repeatedly, but his phone just keeps ringing. I've been waiting for a while, hoping they're okay.
"Young man, who are you with?" a voice asked, accompanied by a hand grasping my shoulder. I quickly turned around and saw a bespectacled man. Based on his attire, he looked like a professional.
"Young man, are you okay? Are you alone?" he asked again, noticing that I was staring at him in a daze.
"Yes, I'm fine. But my friends, I don't know if..." Are they still alive? Am I the only one who survived? I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I looked up to see Mr. Choi smiling.
"If you want, you can join us for now," he said, moving aside to reveal a group of students in uniforms.
Wait, that's the Ganter University uniform...
"I'm Mr. Choi, a teacher from Ganter University, and they're my students," he said, looking at them.
Ganter University? Why are they here too? Does this mean all schools were attacked by...
"Mr. Choi," a cold voice interrupted. I looked up to see a black-haired student wearing glasses. He glanced at me briefly before speaking to Mr. Choi.
"The Unit 5 group has arrived," he said softly, and Mr. Choi nodded, adjusting his glasses.
"You go ahead, I'll follow," Mr. Choi said, and the student left immediately.
Mr. Choi turned to me and apologized for his student's behavior.
"Because of one event, everything changed. Thankfully, we're still alive," he said seriously, then smiled again.
Are they still alive?
"Did the purple creatures from the big sphere attack Ganter University too?" I asked him immediately. He looked at me and nodded.
"Come with me, I'll tell you," he said, starting to walk, and I followed him.
I was worried. I hoped the whole world wasn't affected by the purple creatures.
*AT GANTER UNIVERSITY, SAME DAY BEFORE THE SPHERE ATTACK THE OTHER SCHOOL*
*Raze's POV* (time, 7:38 o'clock)
"Class, what are the benefits of eating vegetables? Anyone?"
"Sir!" I raised my hand confidently.
"Yes, Raze?" My classmates looked at me, and I answered, "It can help us have a healthy body."
Sir walked closer to me, and I heard the sound of chairs being adjusted.
"How do you say eating vegetables helps us having a healthy body?" What kind of question is this?
I thought quickly and answered, "Because it has all the nutrients our body needs to be healthy."
Sir smiled and said, "Give him five claps," and my classmates applauded.
After that, Sir asked if anyone else had an answer. Suddenly, a classmate from the back raised his hand.
"S-sir!!!" he shouted.
"Yes, Cyn?" Sir asked, walking towards him.
"Sir, may I go out? I can't hold this," Cyn said, standing up suddenly, and everyone laughed.
"Silent class," Sir shouted, and the room fell silent.
"Sir, I really need to go to the comfort room," Cyn said, and Sir nodded, gesturing for him to leave. Cyn ran out of the room.
Just as Sir was about to speak, a loud noise came from the door. Everyone turned to look, including Sir. Cyn came running back in, looking terrified.
"S-sir..." he stammered.
"I saw two people eating themselves," he said, almost in tears.
After that, everyone started laughing again.
"Class, quiet," Sir said, walking towards Cyn. I couldn't hear what they were discussing, but I thought I heard the word "zombie."
"Okay class, pull yourself together. Close the door now," Sir said, walking quickly to the front of the room. He closed the door we entered through.
Then, he shouted, "CYN, CLOSE THE DOOR NOW!!!" Cyn rushed to close the door, but before he could, a bloody hand stopped it from closing.
"CYN, CLOSE THE DOOR!!! CLOSE THE DOOR NOW!!!" Sir shouted, but before he finished speaking, a strange student burst into the room, biting Cyn and knocking him to the ground.
The room fell silent, and then everyone started screaming. The strange student looked up, and chaos erupted again.
From outside, I saw students running wildly, some of them being bitten by the strange students.
"Raze, what are you waiting for? Get out of there!!" Sir's angry voice snapped me back to reality. I saw many of my classmates being bitten, and I quickly stood up and ran out of the room.
It seems like the situation is getting out of control, and I need to get out of there as fast as I can.
"Don't scatter, go down to the court immediately!" Sir shouted loudly before walking away from us.
My classmates continued running down the stairs. Like what I saw in the room, I saw the same thing downstairs. Some students were biting other students from different units, including some of my classmates who were caught.
"Raze, don't look. We need to get to the court," Yuze said, holding a bloody baseball bat.
When we reached the court, we saw many strange students. We stopped at the entrance.
"Raze, be serious," Yuze said, pulling me towards a direction. We saw Sir there.
"Where are the others?" he asked Yuze immediately. I looked around, seeing blood everywhere.
Yolo was eating Dan...
Z-zombie...
"Raze, pull yourself together!!" Sir shouted, pulling me and taking me to a bus.
"Raze, I'll be back," Yuze said before leaving me in front of the bus. I heard the screams of girls rushing into the bus. A girl fell to the ground as a strange student attacked her.
She looked at me, pleading for help.
"N-no!!!" I shouted, trying to approach the boy who was biting the girl. But someone lifted me up and pushed me into the bus.
"It's dangerous," he said, pushing other students into the bus.
As I walked inside, still in a daze, the bus started moving.
"Dante, start the bus now!!" the man who pushed me in shouted. I suddenly spoke up,
"Sir is still out there, my friends are still out there!!!" My words caught the attention of everyone on the bus. The man near the door sighed.
"Sorry, we need to leave now." The bus continued moving, taking us to a unit. There were many military personnel guarding the entrance, checking people before letting them in.
When we got off the bus, I didn't know anyone. Everyone was being searched before entering. Inside the unit, I saw many people, some in uniforms, some civilians, and some wounded.
Then, a military personnel approached me, "Young man, who are you with—" but I moved away, and he stopped talking.
"Kids, huh," he said, then grabbed my head and quickly left. He met another military personnel and said, "Take him to the special unit." After that, he left.
The other military personnel approached me.
"Sorry about that," he said softly. Like before, I distanced myself from him.
"N-no..." I said fearfully.
He looked around and said, "Just be quiet, okay?" He handed me a handkerchief.
"Here, take it," he said with a smile. It took me a few seconds to take it, and then he grabbed my head again.
"You're quite gentle, aren't you?" he said with a smile.
He led me to sit down, and I nodded when he told me to. When he grabbed me earlier, I couldn't help but move away, so he used the handkerchief to guide me to sit down.
"Are you waiting for someone?" he asked immediately after we sat down. I nodded in response. He smiled again. From that moment on, he didn't leave me until the person I was waiting for arrived. He blinked and yawned but didn't let himself fall asleep.
After a while, a group of people appeared at the entrance...
Mr. Choi…
