When Rei looked at the items in the shop, it made his heart skip a beat.
"This... this..."
Rei was astonished when he saw the items in the shop. He expected that it would give him a list of weapons and armors or maybe yet skill books. But what he saw, was something he did not expect even if his grandmother jumped in an airplane and survived.
He stared at the screen for a while before he woke up from his troubled state. Rei opened and closed the shop again to see if it's real, but after doing it three times, he confirmed that it was real.
Seeing this, Rei pondered thoughtfully; he weighed the advantages and the disadvantages that the shop had brought. Within minutes of thinking, Rei just shook his head and laughed.
"It is still too early to know if things like these are dangerous. If they are not, then I would surely live in a pleasant life." Rei said in a hopeful voice. He quickly got up and finalized everything that he needs outside.
He arrived in front of the door and meticulously stared at it. With a deep breath, he opened the door carefully and slowly as if caressing a baby. In the year 2130, almost all walls and doors in classrooms have a sound insulator on the outside and in the inside. It was made so the school can avoid disturbing any guests or the students from visiting or studying. That's why Rei was so nonchalant when laughing and cursing as he knew that he would not be heard outside of the room.
As Rei opened the door, he cautiously glanced left and right to see any zombies. Rei expected that there were dozens of zombie walking around since the building is a big one, but when he only saw four zombies walking on the walkway, he sighed in relief.
He eyed them carefully, looking for weaknesses that would help him beat them up to pieces. He looked for missing arms or legs and after looking for a while, Rei discovered a strange matter. All of the zombies that he saw in the walkway had no arms, and it made Rei suspicious on why would a zombie have no arms.
Rei also noticed the levels that hung above their heads. He was surprised to see them first, but as he remembered those similar functions in the novel he once read, he just accepted them as a normal thing. Rei pondered on why he didn't see this before when the zombie came in the room, but it didn't take long before he just shrugged his shoulders and started to think of a plan.
His first plan was the same as the one that he used before; he would charge them with a metal table and squash them to death. However, the walkway was broad and not narrow, making it impossible to flatten them at the same time. However, what Rei was afraid the most is that these zombies were different from the one that entered the room, it made his knees tremble imagining on what would happen if the attack failed.
Panic filled his head as he thought about the disaster that might occur. But he quickly cleared his mind to regain his clarity and thought about his situation carefully.
"The zombie that entered the room must not be that different to the ones outside since they walk so slow, and had no arms."
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"The question is why would that zombie enter the room?"
Just as Rei finished his question, he heard a groaning sound beside him, and it made his hair stand up! He glanced the direction of the sound and saw the three zombies were coming towards him. His knees shivered unconsciously upon seeing the zombies walking towards him, he quickly moved back and closed the door.
His chest heaved up and down as if he just participated a great race. Beads of sweat came down from his forehead as he imagined what would happen if he did not hear the sound. Rei didn't know if he suddenly developed Schizophrenia but he was bloody sure that he heard the groans of the zombies outside of the door!
The panicked Rei thought of just hiding here until they disappear when a sudden inspiration ticked in his mind. His confidence slightly rose as he quickly opened the door and took a table. He equipped the table like a shield, and when the four zombies came, he tensed his body. His posture was low, and his knees were slightly bent and the moment he saw his enemies enter he valiantly stormed in!
Rei charged off like a rocket; he achieved an unbelievable speed, is what he imagined when he rushed off. But, of course, reality was cruel and in the middle of his charge he stumbled miserably. His knees were bruised, and his face naturally landed on the floor.
Rei groaned in pain as he quickly stood up in agony. Although his senses were flooded by the searing pain in his knees, he did not tarry any longer as he was afraid of the approaching zombies.
He quickly took another table and charged at the zombies. Luckily, Rei succeeded and turned them into a paste. When he saw that it worked, he lied down on the floor as he released a sigh of relief. "I really need to exercise," Rei muttered firmly.
It did not take long before Rei recovered his wits and energy. The battle before burned out most of his courage when facing zombies. Although they were weak and slow, once you see them in front of your face, you really would have trouble keeping your courage up. "I should have watched more horror movies," said Rei in regret.
Rei stood up and decided to use the table as his main weapon since he noticed on how effective it is on the zombies. He also checked his status if there were something new, but aside from a skill 'Charge' that he gained from his previous actions, nothing changed. He prepared himself again for the upcoming battles as he walked in front of the door.
But before he stepped out out of the room, he took a quick glance behind him and muttered, "This will be the last time, I'm coming here." His voice contained a tinge of melancholy and sadness as if there was something lost in his heart. If someone were to see this situation from the very start, they would undoubtedly ask Rei on why he gave up treatment.
With a bag on his back and a table in his hands, Rei bravely stepped out of the room.
