Chapter 299 - The Note (6)

"There's a whole crowd outside," one of the high schoolers opened their window.

Currently, all of us were stationed outside their dorms. When the doors opened from our efforts, everyone immediately rushed in to visit the people that they knew. Time was the biggest factor here. I didn't even want to know what would happen if the fire spread to the elementary school section, full of young kids.

"I'll go visit Haruka and Ethan," Charles let us know.

"We'll stay outside, letting people know about what's happening for the ones who leave without knowing about the situation," Alex volunteered with Shelly.

"We'll visit the rest then," I shot a look at Luke.

Luke nodded his head as we first began to pound his brother's door. He also sent them a message while we created a ruckus on the top floor. Unfortunately, it took them a few minutes to open the door.

"There's a fire in the middle school section," I let Luke handle the rest before running off to Ben and Alice.

Both Lucius and Belle appeared stunned as they started to process everything in their brains. When Luke finished telling them everything he knew, he immediately ran to Yulee and Jules, not waiting for their response. We needed to split up to get to more people.

"What's wrong?" Ben opened his door with the first knock when I was about to call him.

"There's a fire in the middle school section," I repeated myself.

"All the middle schoolers were able to escape into the high school section," I explained why everyone was pounding on their doors.

"Is this true?" Claire opened her door, right beside Ben's room.

I was glad that they were starting to wake up from all the noise, saving us the time from making them open their doors. We needed to get as much help as possible. I decided to explain what happened to everyone at once, using my marble to amplify my voice again.

I chanted the spell as I explained, "a bomb was aimed towards one of the rooms. A fire broke out and the whole building collapsed. Now it's spreading to everywhere in the middle school section. We don't know when the other barriers like the elementary or high school one will collapse as well. It feeds off mana too."

"This is serious," Alice crossed her arms.

"Oliver is already out to get the teachers. Unfortunately, some of them are out at exterminate some monsters near the overall barrier. The ones that said they'll come aren't here yet too," I announced.

Meaning, we were left to solve this problem on our own. I swiped my screen to accept the call when my marble rang. Oili's face appeared with Ellen and Allan. It looked like it wasn't good news from their faces.

There was a mixture of fear, panic and anger. Oili opened his mouth, "the teachers are overrun with monsters so the soonest they can come is one hour from now. The ones in the office went to help them."

"The fire is almost near the barrier too," Ellen continued to watch the fire.

I swiped one more time to let Alex join in. He appeared equally as exhausted with Shelly in a place I didn't know. I wondered where they were, but the scenery appeared very familiar. Where did I see this hallway from?

"The fire already destroyed the other barrier and is starting to spread into the elementary school section. We sent most of the people who volunteered to help there," Shelly showed me the scene.

Everyone gasped as they stared at the horrifying scene. This was the exact pathway I used to sneak out during elementary school. Now, some of the buildings were collapsing as the high school students started to set up a barrier. There were so many places to focus on like the elementary school dorms that everyone was spread thin.

"We'll send as many people as we can there," Claire answered.

Both Yulian and Claire ran to start to recruit more people, not waiting for the call to finish. I knew they had more news to tell as I waited for them to begin. Before they could, my marble vibrated again as Luke also wanted to join the call.

"Rika, we need help on our end to let the elementary school students escape from the school," Jules showed the scene of evacuated young children.

Both Yulee and Luke tried to comfort the young children as much as possible. However, it didn't stop a few of them from crying or trembling in fear. But most of them appeared mature and tried to keep as calm as possible.

"There are monsters outside, near the barrier," Oili repeated for the new people who joined the call.

The barrier started to crack on Oili's end as they jumped in surprise. My head started to hurt since I didn't know what to do. We needed to stop the fire from spreading further in both the elementary and high school sections. Plus, we needed to let the elementary school kids escape while there were monsters outside.

We were fighting on three fronts. And I didn't know where the elementary school kids would even escape to. I tapped on the screen once more when Charles also wanted to join the call. What more bad news were they going to bring me?

"We already recruited all the people we could. There's no more people we can send," He sighed from all the messages he got. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=10609696606076405)/the-note-(6)_%!d(string=48924692228129803) for visiting.
