Chapter 297 - The Note (4)

"Will Luke let you go?" Oili pointed out.

"We can sneak out together," I grabbed his hands.

It would be just like today. I was used to sneaking out in the nights with all the materials hidden in the dorm room to help me. Sometimes, Luke did catch me, but he thought I was meeting with Ellen and Shelly to go to the café.

"Do you know where we should go?" He opened another screen. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=10609696606076405)/the-note-(4)_%!d(string=48921987740916207) for visiting.

This was what I liked about Oili. He was mostly in all of my plans, not asking any questions. We spent the rest of the time looking through all the places that looked like it would be exciting. He didn't know how real karaoke rooms were like in the third district. They also had menus with junk food and other instruments to bring up the atmosphere.

"Wow," he looked at the details about the karaoke room.

"Yea, it doesn't even compare to the makeshift one we're in now," My eyes glittered from the thought.

This room was a mixture of a manga and light novel room, karaoke machine and screens, and a mini closet of cheap clothes. It would be different if we went to places with each one of them as their specializations. I never felt so glad that the third district was very similar to my previous world.

"We should go," Oili shared my excitement.

"We should," I agreed.

My alarm rang, interrupting us. It was already around 4AM. I frowned, not wanting to go. But Luke had a habit of waking me around 6. This meant that he was already awake by 5. I sighed as I began to shut all the machines off with Oili.

I left first, leaving him to organize the rest. It would be harder trying to sneak back in than going out. This was where the rope would come in. I sprinted to the walls of the dorms, where the rope was still left untouched.

I began using the rope to climb the walls. Oili, who also lived in the same building would be able to use the front door. This was the difference between us. However, my eyes widened as I found a sudden gust of wind heading to my direction.

There was a note behind me, heading towards Shelly's bedroom window. This time, it was covered by fire, attached to something. I wondered why it had to be today where that person decided to take things to the extreme. Quickly climbing the rope, I closed the window.

But the note continued to fly toward me like it was targeting me. I ran to Alex's room, where Luke was to wake him. I didn't bother to knock on the door and jumped on his bed. Luke immediately woke up, confused. He must have recently fallen asleep.

"There's a note heading our way with-."

I was interrupted as Shelly's room exploded. I covered my ears as there was the loud sound that erupted three times as there wasn't only one bomb. The wall separating the two rooms began to fall. Fire started to spread to Alex's room as Luke instantly got up from the bed. I couldn't believe there was a bomb attached to the note. This couldn't be happening.

The roof quickly began to collapse from the impact. Debris started to fall onto the ground as nothing was spared. Luke muttered a water spell to keep it from spreading to where we sat. However, the fire kept on burning brighter and brighter like the mana from the water spell fueled it in response.

I coughed as the smoke got into my lungs. I instantly created a weak barrier to protect us. We searched for an exit, finding the fire surrounding us like a circle. There was no way we could escape unless we used teleportation. Luke grabbed onto my hand as he chanted a teleportation spell so we would be outside the room, right by the door.

I stumbled as I found myself at the edge of the fire. It wouldn't be long until it spread to the entire building. We experienced almost burning the same place before. I briefly froze from the horrifying thought.

"Call the teachers and wake everyone up," Luke tried to keep the fire inside the room.

I nodded, about to run to knock on everyone's door to let them know about the fire. The first person I met was Oili, who just arrived at his door. Without any warning, I shouted at him, "call the teachers while I wake everyone. There's a fire!"

Oili ran to summon the teachers from my warning, not wasting a single second. I couldn't make everyone evacuate alone while going to get the teachers. The room beside Shelly was my room. I opened the door since it was my original room, "help me wake everyone up, there's a fire."

Sniffing the smoke coming from their rooms, they immediately got up from my warning. As I expected, the wall collapsed as the fire couldn't be kept inside anymore. Their eyes widened as we dashed out of the room together. Luke, who was in the hall, already appeared exhausted as he put a barrier over the room.

"It's spreading even with the barrier," I trembled.

"I'll help," Alex put some of his mana into the barrier, fortifying it.

"We need to warn everyone else now," I turned to Shelly.
