(Kyosei’s View)

The door of the gymnasium is shut tight without any kind of way to pry it open unless you remove the door themselves by breaking it though I doubt that is enough to destroy it. Prints of blood and some dried flesh are clumping on the ground and walls in front of the gymnasium meaning there was indeed a fight here with the humans and the dead every night.

I also didn’t expect them to be able to continue surviving the night without relying on guns and other weaponry to survive the Night Rage and just rely on simple weapons and getting holed inside the gymnasium. From what I can tell of the three knocks on the door and the makeshift ladder they used to climb on the gym, there are only limited amount of people getting out which is to procure supplies like food and water and before the night crawls in, they will start going back inside and hold themselves inside, waiting for the night to pass by.

Since Aika is inviting me to get inside the gymnasium, then I won’t hesitate to accept the offer. She is the first to climb up while I stay behind as a lookout against the dead before I climb up the ladder once I ensure Aika safely get inside the gym.

When I went inside the gym, I was surprised to see many people are still alive inside. Majority of the people inside are students who are all female which makes sense since this is an all-girls school. As for the a.d.u.l.ts, they are varying from male and female though female a.d.u.l.ts are more dominant than the male numbers.

They built a podium just below the window where I went in and above the doorway that is blocked to make sure they can climb back in and out without any problem. There is one lookout on the window to roll the string ladder back in and out every time someone comes in and out.

Once I have fully get inside, the female students are all looking at me with strange looks. Since I didn’t care what they think of me, I ignored them and followed Aika. I also saw the girl that was with Aika earlier and she was currently busy preparing things around so she didn’t notice me. As for the a.d.u.l.ts, the women seems welcoming enough while most of the male seems wary of me.

I looked at the a.d.u.l.ts of this place. I studied what they are like and what they looked like. Most of these guys have the same features alike, these guys are all handsome to an extent. Only a single guy do not qualify to the word ”handsome” as he has a very average face like mine. If he is compared to the people seen in movies and animated films, they are just bystanders. Also, out of all of the guys, this is the only guy who looks curious on me.

Aika started speaking to one of the male ”Handsome” teacher. The guy is sending me some glances as he talk to Aika, probably evaluating me since that is very common to anyone who just have been introduced to you, though his eyes are much more focused on my weapons especially on my AR15 on my back.

”Sensei, this guy is the one who killed the abomination on the hallway, reducing the danger of our supply run in the future.”

”What’s his name?”

”Uh…” Aika was at a loss. She didn’t ask for my name and I didn’t tell her my name either, however, I have no intention of telling them my name.

”Call me whatever you want, it doesn’t matter to me.”

The guy raises his eyebrow before he composed himself and started speaking again.

”In behalf of our group, we thank you for getting rid of that monster, if not, we will be having trouble with losing more people in the future.”

His tone is insincere. He is just doing this to save face but not out of sincerity. I didn’t respond and just stare at him without saying anything. Even if you are saying that much, you don’t deserve any attention to me.

He continue speaking and even introduced himself though I didn’t hear it since I didn’t care either. He extended his hand, apparently, he wanted a handshake. However, I am not here to extend formalities but to find some materials necessary for me to exterminate the Gluttony.

”Save your formalities, I don’t need it. I am not here to play house.”

After saying that, I went into the corner where several empty bottles are scattered. This is enough for me to create the necessary amount. While checking on the bottles, I can tell how angry he was, however, he holds it in and decided to go back to Aika instead. But before he can say anything, he noticed the wakizashi on Aika’s hip.

”Huh? Where did you get the katana?”

”Ah! This one is given to me by him when we met earlier. He said he doesn’t need it.”

When he heard it, his smile on his face looked sinister.

”Wonderful! Now we have a good weapon to use against the zombies! Although I am disappointed it wasn’t a gun(glances at me), this is good enough to use against them! Since it is a dangerous weapon, if you please hand it over so that I can keep it safe.

”Huh? But-”

”No worries. I know how to use a katana so there is no need to worry. If it is in my hands, I can use its full potential easily! Also, since you are my student and you are also a girl, using this will not show its full potential. It’s better if it is in my hands.”

What a shameless f*cking bastard. Although I am not a girl, I felt so offended at those words. Just because Aika is a girl, she can’t use the wakizashi to its full potential? I can tell that Aika has a much more better potential to use the katana than him who seemed to lack the necessary discipline to wield the wakizashi. I can’t hold in my temper and decided to show him how I will get angry.

”Oy, you bastard.”

”Huh?! You calling me a bastard?! How dare you? You are disrespecting an a.d.u.l.t!”

”Respect is meant to be earned, not to be given so easily. And for a person like you that seems to have nothing much to do in life, doesn’t deserve that.”

”YOU! You are an impudent youngster! Let me teach you why a.d.u.l.ts are not meant to be disrespected by younger people!” he didn’t like how I treated him, and he is showing his actual behavior already.

Fuming in anger, he tried grabbing the wakizashi on Aika’s hands. However...

CLACK!

”Try moving and this shotgun will do the talking.”

This guy gritted his teeth as he slowly retracted from his previous action. Although he was sweating, he is trying his best to keep his cool. The other guy who I labeled as the ”bystander” decided to intervene despite the danger I posed since I am aiming the shotgun.

”Please calm down, beanie boy or whatever your name is. We can just take this lightly by talking, not through violence.”

”You! Stay out of this! This is between me and this guy! I won’t hesitate to beat you up if you try to interfere!”

”Sensei Kanou, please calm down. We can’t afford to cause any kind of trouble!”

I am surprised by the calm demeanor of this teacher. Despite being threatened, he didn’t flinch anc continue to pacify the two of us.”

”Looks like you are in luck, sensei. I am not easily swayed by words but this guy is indeed much more reasonable than you. I will also say that the last person who tried to think he is a high ranking human or something is no longer alive in this world. Offend anyone else while I am around and I won’t hesitate to bring you down.”

”Pfft, you think you can scare me with guns?! You are just confident because you have weapons with you!”

”Ha, jokes on you, you should be happy if I used guns because if I used my fist, you won’t wake up tomorrow.”

After the incident, I returned to gather the bottles once more. I can’t afford to keep on entertaining that guy and his selfish desire to own everything and become a sort of ruler in this group. He can do whatever he wanted. But if he keeps on trying to exploit things on me, I will make sure he will not just be humiliated, I will make sure he will wish he was dead instead.
