Chapter 13 - Academy end (8)

Before that thing went out of his nose he twitched like crazy before collapsing. the parasite seems to die. The only one who have that is the Hybrids. They're man-made created monsters that by escaped in the world. They're the reason why Humanity's populace turned fewer than a billion.

What do they want going in here? the superhuman pill? Snow? or... before I notice it our homeroom teacher started twitching. I grabbed Cecile and jumped off the seats. The teacher's Unique Magic is making blades from his own blood, that's why he never makes magic demonstration.

Ah I realized it, the way those Student council students that explained while I'm being chased is because of me. They want ME. A natural resource of the wild.

First thing I did is have Cecile run, which she knows now, waving towards snow while running along with Cecile.

The last thing I've seen before getting knocked off is Cecile also bouncing off. a hooded- no a humane figure with coat that seemingly stretches out of its skin. A hybrid. It destroyed the wall behind it is four appendages probably an tentacle that's made of skin of a mammal.

before crashing on the floor, as I fear of the Hybrid is looking at me. It's objective is there but before I know several teachers met a crash course. they tried attacking it to buy some time for the students to leave.

Cecile is on the ground, the prosthetic has some damage, it doesn't let her run properly. so by staggering she walked out there. Since I hit my left part of hip from being attacked earlier. I had problems standing up but of course I escaped. that's my priority. Even in my past life I never met one Hybrid that's smart enough to actually have some skill in combat.

Something hugged me from behind and covered my head, before I even knew about it both of us were thrown in the chairs. I felt blood on my cheek as I look at Snow, who was the one who covered me. with that hit She was weakened a lot for that.

I looked back at the Hybrid and the teachers are wiped out. but none of them are dead just injured. What do I do now, Me, Snow and the teachers are the only ones remaining in the third floor. and The entrance is near us, but I can't just leave Snow!

"Thats it"

The hybrid spoke in a clear voice. I can felt its presence in front of me. Snow is clearly still holding unto me I can't act recklessly.

"You're coming with me"

As I get lift up along with Snow, I forgot that Snow is also a target, My heart was racing no I don't want this to happen, I've tried thinking various ways to overturn this situation I tried summoning Black hole to back it off. It didn't left a scratch when my ability touched it skin. I don't know what to do. I missed to cast Void.

Slice

The sound of flesh being sliced. and the the pressure on the wind

"Sheesh, Snow's a mess, you too Haru."

I looked at confusion didn't you evacuate earlier. and how are you holding a Yellow sword?

"Haru!" Cecile came back, I composed myself and stood up while Snow holds unto me. She's heavy I'll tell you that. but Cecile helped me with that by bringing a wheelchair, I didn't ask where she got that so we just get out of the floor using the fire exit since there are no stairs there but a bumped floor going down.

I hear clashing on the background but I didn't mind that, escaping is our priority right now but before I knew it. Dust flew and rocks went flying, The hybrid is dead set on catching me.

the appendages are closing in me I used my Void this time creating a wall between me and the Hybrid.

I pushed the wheelchair to Cecile and pointed down the stairs telling her to basically exit and before she can even speak I glared with absolute determination. She has no other choice but follow, since she knows my Void has a distance too.

while I'm holding the Hybrid off. its destroying the walls where my Void is around. Instead of going in it. It's trying to go around it. I'm already having a hard time trying to run away, Let alone Kite it.

I decided to go slow it Down in the hall of the 2nd floor. I need extra Caution. one wrong move I might die, my bones may be strong but my organs aren't the same. While the walls are being dug around the Void I back off little by little until I'm at the first window. Since the first window was in the direction where people are fleeing I decided to enter a room in the opposite direction, There are couple of windows in there as I entered. I blocked the Doorway but the Hybrid broke in by the wall next the door, what was I expecting?

I was fully prepared to get trashed here but what I heard next are 'Stomp, Stomp stomp!' Seishi has cut all of the hybrid's appendages

"Don't you dare forget about me!"

Seishi's nose is bleeding, bruised even. I tried to help by wrapping half of the Hybrid's body but before I notice it I'm on the ground grasping for air. I don't know what happened all I felt was shock from the abdomen to my chest. The hybrid is In front of me now. It's not that spacious in the room Seishi might be on disadvantage. I watched on the floor as I was proven wrong when Seishi just kicked the Hybrid in the edge of the room and tossed me out the hall.

"Go run, This guy's a bit faster than me but I can manage this"

"you really are a piece of work"

The Hybrid's voice sounds like it's irritated. I don't know what will happen but as soon as I recovered I got up and ran for my life back to the fire exit

I heard equipment being trashed around it was noisy for a bit then glasses shattering. it wasn't clear in which direction since I'm already down to the first floor and I'm already running for my life. But please, Seishi be safe!

as I got out the building I thought the only thing I need to worry was Seishi failing to get out but suddenly I felt a force in my side, It's a strong push then as I looked I saw a blurry greyish red creature and a face of a girl.

before I knew it the hybrid landed on Cecile. the ground is cracked even though its made with cement.

"Haru, Keep running-...!"

Seishi saw me on the ground looking at a squashed body

"ARGH!"

The Hybrid was kicked far off by Seishi, He knows what's happening. I went closer to her- Cecile I mean, I've only known her for months, Why do I feel.. this kind of emotion, it's really eating me. I tried pushing her a bit and then decided to carry her out of the Academy. my vision is blurry and my breathing is unstable, I'm calm though... I don't understand my breathing should be fine, I already passed the gate, Snow is being stopped by the guards from getting in.

I went to Snow quickly, and Showed her Cecile's body

"Haru what are you.."

I keep insinuating 'do something' while showing her Cecile.

"I-i can heal her but... I can't..."

Snow eyes went away, she's avoiding my eyes, Don't tell me that, we can heal her right?

"snaaaa...snaaaa"

I tried my best but she looked away. my knees gave up and I dropped in the ground as I heard Firefly choppers pass above us, going presumably to the academy

"I'm sorry Haru, I can't heal someone dead"

I finally looked at Cecile, Her head was crushed, It's not recognizable anymore. I finally let out a miserable cry as I hug her body tight. Why would she do that? I could've survived that hit if it was me, I'd only suffer a concussion.

CECILE....WHY?!?

That was my final thought as my head went blank I hear popping noises in the background, they're probably hunting the hybrid now. I wish they came In sooner.

Academy End.
