"Ahhh! Monster! Die!!"

Seeing Ikeda's horrific death, Sato completely broke down.

Extreme Fear made him lose his mind. He raised the rifle in his hand and frantically pulled the trigger at Ikeda, who was being devoured!

Dada-da-da-da!

[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network is awesome, ṭẅkän.ċöṁ is super cool]

"Sato! Stop! That's a teammate!" Kujo roared.

But Sato couldn't hear her at all. After running out of bullets, he even activated his Supernatural Ability!

Several Wind Blades whistled out, directly slicing Ikeda, who was already half-eaten, into pieces!

Blood mixed with rain exploded, mince flying.

"He's dead... he's dead, right? Hahahaha!"

Sato panted, a morbid, wild laugh on his face.

"Bang!"

Kujo rushed forward, kicking the madman to the ground. She pressed the muzzle of her gun to his forehead, her eyes full of hatred.

"You bastard! That's enough! Who told you to treat Ikeda like that?!"

"Why would you insult his corpse like this!!"

Kujo had a secret crush on the honest, big guy. She never expected him to die so miserably, not even a complete corpse.

"What do you know!!"

Sato roared with a ferocious expression, "I was finishing him off! Haven't you played games?! What if he turned into a monster?"

"Now, under my Wind Blades, even invisible monsters will die here!"

Kujo couldn't refute him. She just looked at the pool of minced flesh on the ground, her heart twisting in pain.

But Sato struggled to get up, wiping the blood from his face.

"Let's go! The monster is definitely dead! We'll complete the mission and quickly leave this hellhole!"

Sato turned and was about to walk into the school, as if as long as he didn't look back, none of what just happened had occurred.

However.

After taking just two steps, he found the two women looking at him with the eyes they would reserve for a Dead Person.

"What's wrong?"

Sato was annoyed. "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you shocked by my heroic posture?"

He stood in the rain, spreading his arms wide as if embracing the sky.

"Don't worry! Once this mission is over, my name will definitely be on the list tomorrow!"

"By then, Mr. Muraguchi will surely promote me to the new team leader!"

Sato was incredibly confident.

In his heart, he believed this was his rightful place!

Why should he, an A-Class Transcendent, have to work for C-Class trash?

Just because he had seniority?

However, the next second.

Sato's voice suddenly became weak.

"Hey... what are you two bastards doing? I'm a hero..."

He saw Hoshino timidly aiming her gun at him, while Kujo's eyes were filled with fear.

Sato instinctively wanted to point at them and curse, but found he had lost control of his arms.

He looked down.

He saw that his outstretched arms had now become two bare white bones!

And that invisible gnawing force was rapidly spreading from his shoulders towards his Neck!

The emotion called fear instantly occupied Sato's brain again.

"Ya... Yamero!!"

"Stop it! No! I don't want to die!!"

"Save me! Hoshino! You're a healer! Save me!!"

Sato cried, snot and tears streaming down his face, dragging his mangled body towards Hoshino. His arrogant face was now just an ugly Will to Live.

Hoshino's hands were trembling with fear, and she was about to pull the trigger to give him a Pleasure.

"Don't shoot!"

Kujo grabbed Hoshino and dragged her towards the Humvee. "Run while you can!!"

"Bastard!!"

Seeing this, Sato completely lost it.

"Kujo! You vicious woman! You want to use me as bait?!"

"You want me to be gnawed to death by it to buy time?! Dream on!!"

"I won't let you have your way! Die with me!!"

Sato roared, and a second before his neck was bitten off, he opened his mouth and gathered the Storm power of his entire body.

"Vacuum Bullet!!"

BOOM!

A highly compressed air bullet shot out from his mouth, directly piercing the Humvee's hood!

And it exploded on Kujo's thigh just as she pulled open the car door to get in!

"Ugh!"

Kujo let out a pained groan, blood flowing profusely, and she collapsed to the ground.

The car was ruined.

Her leg was injured.

"You... you lunatic..."

Kujo looked at the smoking engine in despair.

Hoshino quickly supported her. "Sister Kujo! I'll heal you!"

"It's too late!"

Kujo pushed her away and quickly pressed the highest-level distress signal on the radio.

"No, there's no time! The car is broken, let's go, to the school!"

"Why?"

Hoshino asked, confused. "Isn't that suicide?"

Kujo didn't answer immediately. She clutched her wound, her eyes turning fierce.

Her C-class Supernatural Ability "Eagle Eye" came with a brief enhancement to dynamic vision.

Just now, the surrounding environment had slowed down in her Field of Vision, including the raindrops.

Through the refraction of the suspended raindrops in the air.

She saw the true face of the monster!

It was a boy wearing a black, high-collared school uniform.

His face was deathly pale.

He wasn't invisible, but rather... hiding within a single drop of rain!

At this moment, Sato had been completely devoured, leaving only a skeleton lying in the muddy water.

And reflected in Sato's now dull eyeballs was a single drop of rain.

Within the raindrop, the boy was grinning at them, his mouth full of fangs.

The next moment.

The boy within the water droplet began to transfer and leap between raindrops, rapidly Approaching Hoshino and Kujo!

20 meters... 15 meters... 10 meters...

This was a race against death, where one side meant death, and the other side also meant death.

Kujo was constantly watching behind her.

"Too fast... there's no time."

She looked at Hoshino, who was supporting her as they ran, and a look of resolve Flashed in Eyes.

"I'm sorry, Little Hoshino, you'll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Kujo suddenly exerted force, pushing Hoshino towards the teaching building ahead!

She herself stayed behind, drew the samurai sword from her back, and turned to face the Sky Full Of rain.

It wasn't because she was particularly benevolent, but the pride of being from a prestigious family made her unable to do what Sato did, abandoning her dignity!

The act of sacrificing a teammate.

She even less wanted to become like Sato, one of the majority of low, shameless, hypocritical people from the Cherry Blossom Country.

Time seemed to slow down infinitely at this moment.

The raindrop, now within arm's reach, reflected the monster's greedy face.

And Hoshino's surprised expression as she turned around.

Just as Kujo closed her eyes, waiting for death.

Crash!

The second-floor window of the teaching building suddenly exploded!

Three flying daggers arrived like shadows, piercing the raindrops that were about to touch Kujo's brow!

The boy inside was forced to shift to other raindrops!

Then he began to shift towards Kujo again!

"Ding!"

Immediately after, a white-haired woman jumped out of the window and landed on the ground.

She grabbed Kujo with one hand and Hoshino with the other, instantly pulling them into the teaching building's entrance.

"Bang!"

The iron gate slammed shut heavily.

The two hadn't even processed what had just happened, falling to the ground.

Still shaken, they looked at the beautiful, white-haired European-faced girl in front of them.

It was a typical Slav face, cold and powerful.

Just then, Footstep Sound came from the shadows of the nearby stairs.

An uncle in an old trench coat, with a scruffy beard, walked out.

He had a freshly lit cigarette in his mouth, the Firelight flickering in the dim corridor.

The uncle exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes weary, looking at these two unlucky girls from Cherry Blossom Country, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Hello, two unlucky ones."

"Welcome to Rose Middle School."

"Are you ready... to face the nightmare that has just begun?"
