While System is moving its [Scan] to reach a certain world.
Inside a certain highschool on an earth like world, a woman can be seen leaving a classroom.
After walking for a few steps, she saw an elderly man walking toward her with a slightly hunched back. "Miss Alicia, have you finished teaching your Math class?"
Alicia replied to the old man with a wry smile."Yes."
The old man nodded and spoke. "How about you accompany me to chat for a moment."
'Damn it, I don't want to do this. But getting on this guy's good book will do me good.' Alicia smiled and replied "Alright, principal."
"Hohoho, thank you." The old principal nodded and started talking. " Has it been one year already since you started teaching here? Who knows, time passes so quickly. I still remember when you first ..."
'Sigh, this is boring. I graduated in education because I thought teaching students would be interesting. Who knows, it is actually quite boring. Those school romance manga are lied to me. I should've joined the military or something that will be a lot more exciting.' While she thought so, Alicia kept on smiling as she heard the principal keep on blabbering.
In her mind, she continued. 'The worst part is this old fart that can't stop his mouth. Damn it, I somehow got caught by him while leaving the classroom. Everytime this guy meets a teacher while strolling, he will keep on babbling nonsense for a long time. I've evaded him for a long time, who knew this old guy would suddenly launch a surprise attack today.'
"What bad luck." Alicia subconsciously muttered in a low voice.
"Hmm? What's wrong, miss Alicia?" The principal asked when he heard Alicia speak.
"Nothing, I just feel a bit tired after teaching." Alicia answered. Luckily, the principal didn’t hear her grumble.
While the principal and Alicia are chatting, both of them pass by a window when the initially bright afternoon sky outside suddenly darkened. Such a sudden change pulled both of their attention as Alicia and the principal paused on their track.
Amidst the dark sky, a huge thunder cloud can be seen. The lightning within it churned and changed just like a scene right out of an apocalypse movie before it suddenly split open.
From the hole in that thundercloud, a crimson meteor fell into the distance. It's soon followed by a small earthquake that can be felt from her feet. She also saw a flash of red light pass by just like an illusion.
When Alicia almost fell to the floor from the impact, she saw the principal standing next to her frozen and suddenly started spewing blood from his mouth. After a few coughs, the principal fell face first into the floor and twitched a few times.
"Principal, what's wrong?" She tried to flip the principal up and saw several blue purple veins appeared on his wrinkled face. His eyes have also turned red just like someone who hasn't slept for a few days straight.
The principal jumped from the floor and tried to bite her. In shock, Alicia subconsciously punched the principal hard on his forehead.
When she arrived where the zombified principal previously was, Alicia found him missing from the corridor where she knocked him before. Next to her, the glass window has been shattered. It is the window through which she saw the crimson meteor fall.
After some thought, Alicia decided to enter the school's canteen and gather with the others.
"HELP!" Midway through her journey, she heard a shrill scream coming from one part of the school.
"That sound seems to come from the biology labs." Alicia clenched the hand holding her fire ax and went towards the source of that scream. Upon arriving, she saw a bloody scene.
In front of the classroom, there is a pair of twin boys who stood in front of the door and blocked it using items from surrounding classrooms. When they heard the sound of someone approaching, both of them turned their heads toward Alicia. They looked extremely shocked upon seeing Alicia holding a fire ax.
Through the shattered glass in the lab's door and windows. Thomas, the teacher in charge of biology class, has turned into a zombie. Around him, there are many student corpses, more than 10 zombified students, and several dozen frogs. Some of those frogs had escaped through the shattered glasses in the window and reached the corridor where Alicia and the twins stood.
Luckily, the biology lab is equipped with anti burglar window bars. It should be able to block the zombies inside from escaping through the window for a short moment. But from how there are already some dents on it, the window bars most likely won't last for long.
While Alicia is observing the situation, she feels a piercing pain from her ankle. Looked below, she found out a frog had bitten her leg. She focused her sight into the frog, and saw that some of its organs had fallen due to a huge knife mark on its stomach.
Alicia quickly slashed that frog with her ax and cut it into two halves. Before pulling the part that's still stuck on her ankle while gritting her teeth.
When she saw the bite mark on her leg, Alicia muttered in shock. "A.. am I also going to turn into a zombie?"
A loud metallic collision sound from the laboratory broke Alicia from her shock. A dent has appeared on the laboratory's door. Soon, zombie teacher Thomas can be seen smashing his body into the classroom door and finally breaking some part of it.
Zombie Thomas placed his hand into the hole and grabbed around randomly. Meanwhile, his other hand repeatedly punched the door to create a bigger hole.
When the twins saw that scene, they stumbled backward and scurried back.
Alicia frowned, Thomas seems to be much stronger than the zombie teacher she previously beat with her ax. That zombified teacher can't even damage the classroom door. Zombie Thomas on the other hand has broken the laboratory door which is a bit thicker than the classroom one.
While she thinks so, Alicia has slashed her axe toward Thomas's hand that's randomly grabbing around.
Alicia held her urge to vomit upon looking at the mutilated hand and told the twins. "Let's go to the canteen and hide first."
The twins followed after Alicia as the three of them ran toward the canteen located in the school's first floor. As the labs are located at one corner of the school, its distance from the canteen is quite considerable.
While running, Alicia asked them. "How do you guys survive from the lab?"
One of the twins replied. " We went to the bathroom. Upon returning to the lab, we saw everyone in the lab had turned into zombies and decided to block the door with some tables. Luckily, the door has been closed beforehand by someone."
Alicia nodded. 'it seems one of the people running around the school to warn everyone has been smart enough to lock the door when they saw the laboratory full of zombies.
