Chapter 17: Running Into Danger
The only person who didn't look like she was interested in the fight at all was Arit! Arit was the only person on her feet, and she was frantically looking around for Mark ever since she came into the bunker!
"Mark! Mark, where are you!? Has anyone seen Mark? I can't find him anywhere! Teacher, I haven't seen Mark anywhere!"
Arit ran up to one of the male teachers that were standing at the side, and she shouted that she still hadn't seen Mark, but the teacher just rubbed the back of his neck in slight irritation as a new tremor shook the ground under their feet! Even though he was a teacher, he was still a normal human being, and he didn't want to leave the bunker either just because there was a single student who could still be out there! He wasn't going to risk his life like that! sure he is fine. Don't worry about it too much. Just sit down; you're bothering the other students that are trying to watch the news."
The teacher said this to Arit, and Arit felt a great surge of anger fill her heart as she glared at the teacher and turned away from him! She should have known that the teacher wouldn't be any help at all! He was just a damn coward!
Arit continued to shout Mark's name while asking everyone if they had seen her friend, but no one was able to help her because they hadn't seen Mark yet, and no one wanted to go out of the bunker just to try and look for him! Arit kept on shouting for Mark, and some of the students started telling her to keep quiet and sit down because she was preventing them from seeing what was playing on the television properly! Mark was probably somewhere else, and he couldn't hear her, so she should just keep quiet!
Arit ignored all those people, and she kept on looking around frantically for Mark! A lot of fear came into her heart as images of Mark's dead or injured body were playing in her head! What if Mark was out there in the school, and he was trapped under a rock that fell? There have been a lot of tremors recently, and the tremors might have made something fall on him! There were still some students coming into the bunker, and Arit ran towards the entrance to look around to see if Mark was a part of them!
But as the students entering the bunker started to reduce, Arit's fears began to increase as she realized that Mark was not part of them! There is no way! Mark wouldn't miss the bunker without a good reason! Mark knows how dangerous it is out there! That could only mean that Mark was in trouble, and he couldn't come because of something big! He was in danger!
The teacher in charge of controlling the bunker door made sure that there were no more students coming in, and he nodded as he pressed the button to close the bunker door! The bunker door was automatic, so once it closed, it wasn't going to open anymore until the school was certain that the danger had passed. There was food and drinks in the bunker along with enough ventilation pipes to make sure that the students could stay there for more than a week if they needed to!
"What the hell is your fucking problem with me!!?"
BOOM!!
Mark sent a left hook straight at the ant-headed anima, and he had to bite his inner lip in pain as his wrist almost broke from how fucking hard the ant-headed anima's skull was! Is this shit made out of fucking metal? There was no visible effect on the anima, and it grabbed Mark by the head and spun around before tossing him down through ten floors of a skyscraper!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mark shouted in pain as his back burned from the intense force, but he didn't allow the pain to stop him! Once he landed, he quickly grabbed a metal pole that was lying at the side and aimed it at the ceiling while waiting for just the right moment!
Boom!
"Raargh!!"
Throw!
At the exact moment that the ant-headed anima burst through the ceiling, Mark threw the pole like a javelin straight for it! Mark knew that his throwing strength was nothing to scoff at! Mark could throw a javelin with enough force to make it travel for more than three kilometers easily! If all that force is put into one throw, then Mark knew that he could impale a block of solid metal with his javelin throw! But Mark's eyes widened in shock as the metal pole that he threw with all his strength bent and crumpled as it couldn't even pass through the ant-headed anima's skin!
Slam!
