Juan: "Haaaaaaaaah!?"
Kenneth: "Everyone run to the cafeteria!"
Haaah!? Well, I don't understand why, but everyone seems to follow Kenneth's order so I have no choice but to ride this big wave. Well not really BIG including me its only 10 people after all.
With Kenneth's group leading the way while yelling the same thing to other 3 classrooms that they passed.
*Sounds of wood breaking and something heavy hitting the floor*
A sound coming from behind them, specifically Juan's classroom. Everyone twisted their neck and looked behind them while running. What they saw is the head of something that you sometimes see in your house if its dirty enough, a rat. Except its very big, the size of a tiger you see in a zoo and it looks intimidating unlike the cute and tiny house mouse.
LV.?? Feral Ratman
*skreeeeeeeee*
With a resounding screech that's so loud it might break the glass windows and the eardrums of the students it stepped out of the room. This action made the students run faster than normal with absolute fear and panic painted in their expressions. They ran to the stairs with single-minded desperation especially Juan. He ran akin to a sprinter in the hallway and going as far as skipping 3 steps in the stairs while completely filtering out any information in his vision other than the direction of the cafeteria. The cafeteria is an isolated building from the main school building. Positioned in the north east of the main building.
After exiting the main building, fires and smoke from explosions in the cityscape is visible even in the middle of rain fall, after all Narra Academy is built on top of a small hill. But Juan and most of the students ignored the scenery and focused on running to the cafeteria. It might be because its the last instruction they heard before panicking or maybe because its from a charismatic person like Kenneth, everyone ran to the cafeteria like its a piece of heaven in hell.
Ah, I reached the cafeteria.
Entering the cafeteria Juan's knees trembled and he flopped down the floor with a slight slosh sound from his slightly drenched clothes. A moment later the others followed.
*ding*
Juan: "Hiieeeee!"
Making a scream akin to girl, Juan attracted the attention of others making them tense. But he just waved his hand with a very crooked smile indicating that its nothing and everybody relaxed. While the others are catching up to their fatique and Kenneth's group closing the doors, Juan focused in the blue screen that suddenly appeared in front of him while lying on the floor.
Gained New Skill!
Flee
RarityRankLevelCommonF1
Increases running speed by 5% when fleeing.
"Those who flee today lives to try another day."

......
...
The hell is this skill? Its so lame, makes me look like a coward. Well, beggars can't be chosers and it might save my life someday.
More importantly, what the hell is a skill? Is it like in games? Then why do I have it? I'm sure I'm not dreaming, or maybe I am? Am I finally going crazy? Or it has nothing to do with me but the world laws that I'm familiar with changed? So many questions but no answers damn. At least I have some theories. And I think I am not the only one who got a skill.
Observing the facial expressions and eye movements of other students, Juan can guess they must have gained a skill similar to him or at the very least a blue screen is in front of them. Some wore surprised expressions some were confused but one thing is similar, their eye movement looks like theyre reading something, even Kenneth is the same.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Hmph, so even a guy like you got the flee skill huh? Now I feel better.
*bam* *bam*
Everybody stiffened up at the banging sound coming from the door.
Some guy: "Is there anybody in there? If there is please let us in! There are slimes chasing us!"
Heh, if there are slimes chasing you then we won't open the door stupid! In the firs...
Juan: "Ah."
Kenneth moved to open the door while Leonard is standing in the door side holding a mop in some kind of a baseball stance.
*door swings open*
As the door opens a flood of people entered like a zombie wave and with zombie like expressions in their faces. As the last person enters, a single slime hopped in the cafeteria. At that moment Leonard who's holding a mop, swings it to the slime with all his might before it can hop again.
*bam*
The slime flew outside while the mop cracked a little. Kenneth immediately closed the door and locked it.
Damn, its somewhat frustrating but thats slightly cool. Is that a coordination born from playing basketball since childhood?
*bam* *bam* *bam*
The sounds of banging in the door eventualy stopped and only the sound of raindrops remained. Everyone let loose the tension they uncosciously holding.
Some girl:"Oh my God, Just what is happening!"
Hmm? Oh its one of the people in the zombie wave. A lady with slighly drenched school uniform is kind of hot, minus the crying.
That scream made everyone wear a grim and sad expression some even cried and had tears in their eyes. They're probably remembering the scenery of chaos in cityscape.
A guy got closer to the girl who screamed that is now sobbing, trying to console her.
Now that I look closer aren't they the student council president and vice president? If I remember correctly their names are Jesper and Grace.
Narra Acamedy High School Student Council consist of 5 members respectively the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and the general affairs. Jesper Jelos a glasses-wearing honor student and the president of the council. Grace Grasya another glasses-wering honor student and the vice-president. The other 3 are busy this Sunday so they are not here in the school, fortunately or unfortunately.
Jesper: "Its alright we're safe now plus there are lot of us and maybe help will come soon."
Its too optimistic to assume that this place will remain safe forever though. Plus I wonder, would help even come?
Grace: "Hm?"
Oh, looks like some of the zombie wave people also got the flee skill. Thats right we're all the same.
*ding*

Kenneth: "What should we do?"
Jesper: "I think its better if we confirm our current situation first. Its better if we can calmly think what's happening."
Oh, as expected of the president, how responsible.
Jesper looked at the 66 people inside the cafeteria. After everyone gave a nob and a tiny voice of affirmation, Jesper made a firm nod and adjusted his glasses.
Jesper: "First of all, did everybody saw the red sky?"
Ah, that huh.
Everybody either nodded or said yes in a weak tone.
Jesper: "I see, then its alright to assume that you also saw that blue window."
Eusabelle: "What's written in there is a joke right? I mean an apocalypse is..."
Grace: "Then how will you explain those monsters!? I... I saw them rip off the limbs of some of us running here! *sob* I... I saw and I still ran. Ignoring their screams of help!"
I see so they lost some while running huh.
That statement made the already heavy mood more heavier. Some looks like they've fallen in despair, some have a hint of determination in their eyes and some started crying.
This is bad, I can't have them continue this downward spiral of despair. I need a distraction. Ah, right there is that!
Juan: "He... hey everyone why don't we eat first? After all its lunch time and we're in the cafeteria. Let's all calm down okay?"*crooked smile*
Everyone looked at Juan with skeptical eyes.
