Chapter 14: City-Wide Announcement

Francis started to shout more frantically as he felt intense pain in his hand! What sort of grip strength is this!? It felt like someone was using a metal clamp to press against his hand!

Both Esmeralda and Arit could only watch in shock as they saw the pained look on Francis' face and the blank apathy that Mark was showing! Arit knew that Mark had always been holding himself back from attacking Francis because of her. They have had too many conflicts and the only reason why they haven't fought till now was because she was always intervening before things could get too far! But she didn't know if she would be able to stop Mark this time, and she didn't know if she should stop him! Maybe Francis deserves to finally get a beating for the nonsense he always did!

Francis knew that at this rate, Mark would break his wrist in front of the whole school! The pressure Mark was applying just kept increasing and it didn't look like Mark had any intentions of stopping at all! That would be too embarrassing! Who the fuck does Mark think he is!? Does he really think there would be no consequences if he goes too far!? Francis will make sure Mark never knows peace in this city again!

Francis immediately prepared himself to strike back at Mark!

"What the hell is that!? The sky is turning black!"

Someone suddenly shouted from in front of the window, and everyone turned towards it in shock to see what he was pointing at! The sky above the city was turning dark, and there was lightning striking across the horizon as a great dust cloud rose from near the docks! There was no need for them to know exactly what was happening over there; everyone could immediately tell that they were witnessing a Superhuman battle happening right before their eyes!

"We need to get out of here!"

"Run! Run away right now!"

"The bunkers! The teachers said we should get to the bunkers!"

"Wait! I left my mePhone in class! I need to get it"

"Just leave it behind! It isn't more important than your life!'

Esmeralda shouted this as she abandoned her food and ran out of the cafeteria with the other students. She had been waiting for Francis, but once she saw that Mark was refusing to let go, she just left! There is no way she would allow herself to die for their stupid dick-measuring contest!

Esmeralda was the whole reason why the conflict began in the first place, but she didn't care about that and she just abandoned Francis! Will Francis' money matter if he is dead? He needs to be more sensible!

Mark glared harder at Francis. He still wanted to break this bastard's hand, but he knew that there were more important things to do right now!

"M-Mark! Mark, let's go! We have to go down to the bunker before they close it!"

Arit quickly moved to Mark and grabbed his hand as she tried to drag him with her towards the bunker. Mark slowly let go of Francis and Francis rubbed his wrist in pain as he quickly followed the crowd of students. But Francis couldn't help himself from glaring at Mark one last time before leaving. This was not over!

Mark and Arit started moving down the hallway, and Mark knew that he couldn't go with Arit to the basement! His phone was still ringing, and there was no doubt that it was Pat who was calling him! There were hundreds of students boxing them in from all sides in the hallway, and Mark knew that he could use this to his advantage! The number of students was so large that Arit would never notice if he left her hand and allowed her to just keep going on her own!

Mark slowly used the force of the students around him and let go of Arit's hand! He allowed many students to move in front of him, and he slowly disappeared backward into the crowd as he began moving in the opposite direction from where Arit was moving!

Immediately after he left Arit's hand, Arit immediately noticed that there was no contact anymore, and she turned around in shock to try and find him! She glanced around the entire hallway and tried to make some of the students move out of the way so that she could find Mark, but there was no sign of him! A great amount of anxiety started to rise from inside Arit, and she was scared that she left Mark behind! She immediately wanted to go and find him, but the sheer number of students was preventing her from moving as they continued dragging her towards the basement by force!

"Mark! Where are you!? Mark! Has anybody seen Mark!?"

Arit continued to shout like this loudly, but her voice was drowned out by the shouts and murmurs from all the other students who were also looking for their friends! Arit felt tears come to her eyes as she didn't see Mark, and she didn't want to think that he somehow got into trouble somewhere! She was sure that he would keep going to the bunker! He has to be there!

Arit could only think in this way as she was slowly guided towards the bunker against her will!
