Too Bad He Couldn't Push It

This world places great importance on population, since there are not many people to begin with. Therefore, safety education is conducted frequently, and schools have several shelters, such as underground shelters and school rooftops.

"It's too late to get to the underground shelter now, let's go to the rooftop!" Yang Xia said hurriedly as she saw the gray-white monster getting closer and closer. The underground shelter was a bit far from their classroom, but the stairs were right next to their classroom.

So a group of people quickly pushed open the classroom door and walked in an orderly manner toward the stairs next to it. On the other side, you could also see students from other classrooms running toward other shelters. After all, before the mutated creatures came, everyone could just hide in the classrooms, but now that they had come, they naturally had to go to the shelters.

Jiang You was running at the very back of the group. Because of his "poisonous prediction" attribute, few people wanted to be his friend. After all, what if you talked to him one day and all he said was a "poisonous prediction" that could kill you?

The only people willing to associate with him were his childhood Hanajima Yuka, the class monitor, Yang Xia, and the class beauty, Lin Qian. Thinking of Lin Qian, Jiang You instinctively looked up at the fleeing group, but unexpectedly did not find her.

"What's going on?" Jiang You squinted as he ran up the stairs, scanning the area again. He couldn't find Lin Qian anywhere. Once the rest of the group reached the rooftop, they locked the heavy iron door. The rooftop was full of students.

"Everyone, stand in your respective classes, count off, and let's take a headcount..." Several teachers also came to the rooftop and hurriedly said.

Just as Jiang You was about to say that Lin Qian was missing, a student's exclamation came from the other side. "Everyone look! Someone down there has stopped that monster!"

Several teachers also went over there, and Jiang You quickly ran over as well. He saw a girl holding a small pink stick with hearts and wings, blocking the strange gray-white creature below the teaching building.

Lu Li watched this scene from a distant mountain, feeling utterly hopeless about this world obsessed with young girls. According to his design, a mage's robe and wand should never look like this, but now they were brimming with girlish charm.

"Never mind, it's just a change in attire." Lu Li shook his head and thought. No matter what the attire became, even if he were to run around naked, it was none of Lu Li's business. His mission was simply to enhance the power of this world.

"Ice!" The girl pulled out a card, tapped her heart-shaped magic wand on it, and a barrage of ice arrows flew out, hurtling towards the grayish-white monster. However, the monster, with the body of a feline and the agility of one, dodged the attack with a quick turn and continued charging towards the girl.

Lin Qian bit her lip lightly beneath her mask, took out another magic card from the beacon, and transferred her magic power into the card through her magic wand. "Shield!"

A transparent protective shield appeared around her, then, ignoring the charging monster, she pulled out her last magic card. "Impact!"

The monster was frantically scratching at the protective shield around Lin Qian, but then it was struck by an invisible impact, its body flying to the other side and falling to the ground. Lin Qian skillfully took out the ice card again.

Several ice arrows struck the fallen monster, piercing its body. A fierce chill enveloped the monster, turning it into a block of ice. Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief, then heard cheers from her classmates on the rooftop.

"It's safe!" Jiang You wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead and noticed that his classmates were all looking at him with strange eyes, while the ice block below was making a cracking sound.

The ice shattered, and the grayish-white monster with several bloody holes leaped out. Its bull-like eyes stared fiercely at Lin Qian, and then it secreted some grayish-white substance that formed a layer of bone armor on its body before charging at Lin Qian again.

Lin Qian gripped her magic wand, her heart beginning to race. A few days ago, she had found a heart-shaped stone that unexpectedly connected to the magic network, and she had secretly begun training. Today, seeing these monsters, she had abandoned the idea of saving everyone and practicing her skills. Now it seemed she had been too arrogant.

With her magic power dwindling, Lin Qian mustered her mental energy and channeled another batch of magic power into the magic network. At the same time, she felt dizzy, realizing that this was due to her insufficient mental energy.

"Impact!" An invisible impact force struck the Ashen War Beast's body directly, but it only caused the beast to stagger back a few steps and crack its bone armor before losing all its effectiveness.

The grayish-white monster surged forward again, its bull horns slamming directly into the remaining protective shield on Lin Qian's body. Lin Qian's body was thrown to the side by the impact and fell to the ground.

"It's all your fault, Jiang You! If it weren't for... Hey, where is he?" a classmate complained, only to find that Jiang You was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn it, I'm not a jinx, that was definitely an accident!" Jiang You muttered to himself, jumping from the other side of the rooftop onto the window sill below. But as soon as he jumped down, he groaned in pain, and when he looked up, he saw a diamond-shaped transparent stone that had torn his shoe and the skin on his foot, and blood was gushing out.

With a forceful pull, he yanked the rhombus-shaped stone out. Hearing the gasps from the rooftop, he quickly suppressed the pain and continued jumping, "I was just trying to be a hero, it's definitely not because I felt guilty for my 'poisonous prediction'... Pshaw, I'm not a 'poisonous prediction'!"

Lin Qian used her remaining magic to erect another protective shield, her heart filled with extreme fear. At the same time, she berated herself for coming out to play the hero. The monster charged again, shattering the shield. The monster was already in front of her, and she could clearly see its horse-like face, its mouth split open, revealing sharp teeth.

"Ah!" Lin Qian screamed with her eyes closed, only to find that the monster hadn't bitten her.

"Hey! Monster, don't come any closer!" A weak voice came from behind. Lin Qian turned her head and saw Jiang You waving one hand, with a series of bloody footprints behind him.

The monster also raised its head to look at Jiang You, sniffed the air, and surprisingly abandoned the food that was within reach, charging towards Jiang You instead.

"Damn it, I told you not to come any closer!" Jiang You panicked and hurriedly said, but the monster's speed only increased. Driven by momentary enthusiasm, it rushed over and unexpectedly actually saved someone, but what about the monster?

"No way! I'm just here to observe!" Jiang You dragged his injured leg and hurriedly moved backward. Seeing the monster getting closer and closer, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to use his ultimate move. Jiang You closed his eyes, crossed his arms in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Monster, I wish you a long! Life! A! Hundred! Years!"

With a whooshing sound, Jiang You opened his eyes and saw that the monster horse's face was full of ferocity, but a bloody hole pierced through its head told the story of the monster's death.

"Am I really a jinx?" This thought involuntarily flashed through Jiang You's mind at that moment.
