Josh ran to see if there was anyone he could reach out to but it seems most people had already left the building.
He thought about what I should do right now, do he search for help or engage in combat with Mr. Bolt and the two idiots. What now? He felt conflicted on what he should do but since it was a 3v1 he assumed they would be fine.
So he continued the search for his friends and so he hurried to run out the building. Which is when he remembered how their teacher screamed like that when he supposedly got hit.
Josh stopped pondering on that and just carried on with his mission.
Outside the building the students had evacuated the building but got completely disoriented in the confusion. The group all stopped near the school and were now wondering what to do next. One brave student stepped up and assumed the role as the leader.
"Students, can I have your attention?" a student called Hector Rosseli was attempting to take charge though he already had a pretty solid reputation.
"We are in a crisis and in the face of danger it's our responsibility that everyone gets home safely. The best course of action right now would be to return to the school and the teacher will most likely help us".
"Are you sure?"
Takahiro stepped up and he still had his doubts.
"Wouldn't the best thing we could do in this situation to call the C.K.A and then run into the forest?"
Hector was respectable but his biggest flaw is trying to play hero even though he doesn't have to.
"That actually sounds better, let's go with that". Hector sounded sincere but you could notice that he was really annoyed.
Malrik was a part of this group of students and so was most of the class.
Takahiro called the C.K.A and then he and the group ran into the forest right beside them.
The forest they entered was inhabited by monsters but fortunately most of them were harmless Aviors and Pneumas.
There are more monsters in the forest called The Bush but they are less rare so they decided to take the gamble.
"Bye guys I am going to sleep". Rami had just started dosing of and was just tired of everything.
Malrik was bored and couldn't really stay awake.
"Damn what to do?". He sighed laying down in the grass.
But then he heard a cracking sound and it seemed to be coming from the grass. He looked to his right to spot an avior that was looking for food.
It's a bird with a small beak and body but has an impressive wingspan for its small size.
Malrik observed the little thing looking for food and decided to help it. He remembered that he had some sunflower seeds in his pocket and gave it to the poor little thing.
The avior looked scared and didn't look like it would be taking the food thinking that he would just catch it and sell it like many monster hunters do. Then Malrik put the seeds on the ground.
"You don't believe in me eh?" Malrik finally said sadly.
He leaned over to a tree right beside him and wondered.
"I thought something changed but I guess people still fear me" his voice deepened.
The thing was Malrik's last name isn't really Okeiji, he stole that name from innocent kind people just like his family always does.
They steal, kill and inflict fear upon everyone that hears their name. His name is a curse, one he will bear for all of eternity. The name of his curse is Malrik Zeerbeck.
