Chapter 36: There Is Only One Way

Chapter 36: There Is Only One Way

(Perspective Mikoto Kiba)

Shit shit shit shit! This is bullshit!

What the hell is going on?!

These last few days had been quiet, Black Label has been being investigated by various organizations so we have been more discreet by reducing the number of missions.

I had time to relax in class while enjoying a peaceful life as a normal student, but now all of that has gone to shit.

Aaaahh this frustrates me!

I don't even have a suitable weapon for the situation, if I had my Smith Wesson m627-5 revolver this would be a lot easier. I have to aim for the eyes of these things to kill them or I'm not sure if the bullet is enough to kill them.

To begin with, are they alive? They remind me of the zombies that appeared in the movies I watched with my older brother. If my brother were alive he would know what to do ...

Focus Mikoto! This is no time to think about the past!

The situation is increasingly dangerous, these things do not stop coming from the street, at this rate we will be flooded with zombies. We have to escape from this place, but I don't know how to do it, I am worried about my colleagues in the hospital, although knowing them they will be fine.

The priority is to survive.

Yuu and Hinako will die if I don't protect them, it's hard for me to make friends because of my work as an assassin in Black Label so the two of them are important to me.

Asashi and Chikage are strong, but they focus too much on eliminating the enemy so they neglect the students and even expose themselves. Not only must I take care of my safety, but I must also keep an eye on those two so that they are not overwhelmed.

Asashi and Chikage are using chairs and glass shards as weapons since they both don't bring their equipment to school, only I carry a handgun as a precaution, but the power of this thing is too weak.

I'm sure we would have been overwhelmed by the zombies due to the mutants, if it weren't for Luis's appearance at least half of the students in our group would already be dead.

That guy Luis does not seem like a student of our school so he must have entered to take refuge or to help us. Seeing his kind attitude where he is willing to face danger to save us, I lean towards the second option.

Normally I would feel uncomfortable having such a strong person close by, looking at the way he can decapitate several zombies in one movement I can tell that he is stronger than me or Asashi, his strength may be comparable to Sayo-san or Yuko-san which is surprising since those two are far from ordinary humans.

That someone like this is around should worry me in case he is an enemy, but seeing how he goes out of his way to protect us makes me feel like I can trust this person.

Unlike the fool Asashi that he can only focus on killing, Luis keeps an eye on us and not only is dedicated to eliminating infected, he is also taking care of Asashi, Chikage and even me.

When things calm down I must thank him and maybe I could invite him to Black Label, although his movements are those of a murderer I do not think he is a bad person because of the way he is willing to risk his life to protect the students despite that he is not a student of this school.

I need to talk to Fiona-san, maybe she has some information about Luis to know what kind of person he is.

"Shit!" - I got distracted and that made a little mutant jump in my direction.

This thing that Luis calls Jockey is annoying since he uses other zombies as mounts which lives up to his name.

I couldn't react in time as a Hunter jumped in my direction while Smoker's tongue pointed at me.

I can only kill one while blocking the other two, I raised my gun and shot the Hunter as he looked more dangerous. - "Die you piece of shit!" - I was about to raise my arm to block the Jockey and the Smoker's tongue before an ax flew to drive the Smoker's tongue to the ground as a fist hit the Jockey's side.

"Die bastard!" - Luis hit the Jockey.

The Jockey's ribs cracked, then shot out like a cannonball slamming into other infected.

"I promise I will get out alive, just run away from here and survive" - ​​Luis spoke to me with kindness.

I wanted to refuse, I wanted to yell at him that he was an idiot, I wanted to hit him, I wanted him to come with us. I felt desperate as well as safe, it was such a contradictory sensation that it hurt.

In the end, I bit my lip and nodded. I knew this was the best option, Luis is strong and maybe he can protect himself if he doesn't have to take care of us, I hate myself for being weak. - "Good, but I'll kill you if you dare to die!"

Luis laughed at my stupid words. - "I understand, then I have to survive or you will shoot me even if I become a ghost" - Luis removed his hand from my head and addressed the infected.

I unconsciously extended my hand, he is willing to give his life to protect us, to protect me.

I endured the urge to cry and called Asashi and Chikage. - "Asashi, Chikage! We have to go for the survivors and escape! Come on! "

They both looked at me confused, but I wasn't in the mood to explain. When they saw my expression they didn't say anything and they followed me, I don't know what kind of face I'm making, but I'm sure of one thing, that man named Luis earned a special place in my heart.

--- (Perspective Luis Santos) ---

I'm in fucking trouble.

I underestimated the strength of the infected, they can be weak individually, but it is exhausting fighting with a group of them.

The biggest problem is the mutants, the tongue strike of a single Smoker is at the High-Class Disciple level but when three of them come together the force is equivalent to an Expert level based on pure force.

For comparison, that hit was equivalent to an Apachai hit when we trained with the difference that Apachai is holding back and not targeting vital signs, the Smokers hit was intended to kill and I couldn't distribute the force of the impact so broke my arm and two ribs.

I even spit blood from the internal damage, I couldn't use Ki to protect myself as my energy reserve is dangerously low.

The stupidest thing is that even in such a dangerous situation I still kept up my ridiculous prince charming act, I'm too disgusting.

I had to rethink my plans, this school will not serve as a fortress due to the existence of mutants. I need a place that can be reinforced with an underground area that can be used as an emergency shelter.

I'll think about that later, right now I have to get over this shit. During the fight, I used Hamon to replenish my Ki so I could continue fighting but attracted more infected.

I need to replenish nutrients and energy, my stomach is growling from the rapid consumption of proteins and carbohydrates, if I don't eat something I will soon end up passing out.

Now I only have one option, it will be one of the most unpleasant things I have ever done in my life, but it is tolerable as long as I can survive.

I could also ditch everyone at school and escape on my own, but I won't, I can't. The women I saved will be part of my harem so I refuse to leave them.

It seems that so much time interacting with crazy women has affected me and maybe I am just as possessive as them ...

If I like a woman she will enter my harem no matter what she has to do.

I will do anything to get what I want even if I lose my little humanity.

I will never let life fuck me again and I will be the one who fuck life.

Go ahead, that's the only way, no matter what happens I must keep going.

Nothing will stop me.
