"Hey brother, it's been hours since we started leveling up, I can't even see the Sun anymore, how about we call it a day?" - Said my sister as she grasped for air.
"That would be great, I'm already dead tired, Kosuke."
"Ok, I think you're both right, let's call it a day, but we can only use the Safety Room when it's time to sleep, we can't use it more than 9 hours a day. The results were pretty good, I'm level 21 right now, what about you?" - I smiled and looked at them, I'm not expecting to create warriors from this kind of 'training', but at least let them be strong enough to defend themselves would be pretty good.
"Level 17, already spent my points, I'm going for defense and magic resistance, didn't raise others attributes a lot. I got 3 new spells and a class as well, Knight."
"I'm level 19 now, I got 2 new support spells, and a offensive one, although its damage seems to be on the low side. Sorry, but I still couldn't get a class."
"No worries, it'll probably come in time, anyway, Kaiya, where do you live... I mean... Before the apocalypse?" - I said trying not to be so rude.
"About 5 kms from here, near the station, why?"
"Well, you see, Nishi and I live pretty close as well, although in the opposite direction of your home, if you wish, we could take a look at your house too, I want to see if my parents survived, at least, my mother was supposed to be home, how about it?"
"No problem, we can go to your house, my parents are overseas, we won't find them there anyway." - I could see traces of worry on her face.
"Cheer up Kaiya, your parents are all right, relax." - Said Nishi as she hugged Kaiya, gently caressing her head.
"Let's rest a little, then move downstairs and go through the main exit, most likely that group on the cafeteria was able to clean some monsters around the first floor, so we won't have too much trouble." - We tried to relax after I said that, and chatted for some time about meaningless things, trying to forget a little about the troubles we'll face in the future.
After what seems to be one hour, we decided to move downstairs, to the school's first floor, hoping to find my parents. To my surprise, there were lots of people equipped with armours, robes, swords and staffs, although they are not in a complete attire such as myself, they at least are equipped with some system's weapons now.
They were discussing some something, until the first person saw us, alerting their friends about our presence, and stopping whatever chat they were having. Most didn't seem to be glad with my arrive, probably because of the fact that I didn't want to help them, the group is bigger now than I used to remember it, about 40 people, and on the center, there is a group of people that I know too well. Natsuo, Noriko, Naozumi and Sachi, the people that decided to ruin my school life, or should I say, the shit squad? That certainly would fit them well, though I still think that can be a compliment to them.
"Oh, if it isn't Kosuke and Nishi... and who might be your other friend?" - Natsuo said with his usual smile, I tried to control myself to not punch him till death, it was pretty hard, but I'm a gentleman, and managed to do it pretty well, I must say. There are a lot of people here, but they aren't dangerous at all, most are only level 3-6, and the highest, Natsuo, was only level 14. Maybe the speed which I leveled up is on a freaking level, or just, staying with too many people is really bad to maximize your exp, though it will maximize your safety, probably.
"Nobody that you need to know, if you excuse myself, you can just ignore us, we'll be leaving now."
"Oh really? But I think you'd like to know about our idea, it involves getting a bus to get the hell out of here, and there is more than enough buses for all of us. We have already gotten the keys, only a small disturbance is preventing us from going to the buses, maybe we could use another helping hand, and you can benefit from it."
"I don't..."
"Please, tell us more about it, what is this disturbance, how many buses, and how are you planning to divide it?" - Nishi interrupted, preventing me from refusing him, maybe she has something on her mind, but they are not trustworthy.
"Well, there are 8 buses, and with you, we have 5 different groups, so it's more than enough. We can buy better vehicles from the system's shop, but they are too expensive for us right now." - Natsuo was right, though we can buy automobiles from the system, but they are too expensive. They sell even spaceships, but their cost are so expensive that I can't even count the zeros!
"And what about the fuel?" - Nishi.
"You don't have to worry about that, generally, the school maintain the buses with fuel, and we just need enough to move to the closest gas station, I'm pretty sure we can still use them for now."
"All right, so tell me about this 'little disturbance' that you mentioned."
"There is a strong monster close to the buses, we can't get them if we don't kill it before. He is level 35, and is protected by some low level monsters. So, do we have a deal? I can give you some time to discuss with your friends."
"Sure. Wait a minute." - Nishi looked at him with fearless eyes, trying to see through him, though she was no good with that. It was kind of cute.

"Hey, Nishi, you know they are trouble, didn't we discuss about try to evade people at all costs?" - I said.
"I know, but see, if we can get ourselves a bus, we could move faster, and safely, which is of the utmost importance, don't you think so too, Kaiya?" - Nishi said as she looked at Kaiya with a amiable smile."
"We, well, I think it would be good, till we can afford to buy a better automobile."
"Yeah, but for now, they are just too expensive! 500k (500,000) the cheapest one, and he is even worse than the bus!" - Nishi.
"OK, I got it, we'll do it your way. They have nothing to gain setting a trap for us anyway."
"Hey, Natsuo, we'll work for you for now, so, what's the plan?" - Nishi.
"I thought you'd say that, so come over here, so that we could discuss it together."
----------------------------------------
It's really unpleasant to be together with shit squad, but what can be done? We basically talked about the strategy that is going to be used against the enemy, we don't know a thing about the boss' abilities, but at least we can talk about which kind of formations we'll be using. The small monsters were too close to the big, and there were about 9 of them, all level 15, the 5 group had different sizes, but that wasn't a problem at all, since their level was inversely proportional to the amount of people on each group.
Group 1 had the highest amount, 18 people, the highest begin level 10. They were in charge of dealing with 3 small monsters.
Group 2 had 11 people, the highest person is level 11.They would deal with 3 small monsters.
Group 3 had 9 people, the highest person is level 12. They would deal with 3 small monsters.
Group 4, or shit squad, had 4 people, highest is level 14. They would, together with us, would deal with the boss.
Group 5, us, had 3 people, I'm the highest, level 21, and we, sadly, would work together with the shit squad to deal with the boss.
The plan was postponed to tomorrow, we couldn't delay it any longer anyway, since the monsters would start their 'evolution', and this already strong and difficult boss would be a nightmare to kill.
"Hey, let's sleep, I'll open the safety room, come inside, Nishi and kaiya." - I can still see the some eyes glancing at us from time to time, I certainly don't know what they are thinking, but I don't want to sleep at their mercy to discover.
""Ok"" - Said Kaiya and Nishi in union.
If we wanted, nobody could hear us from outside, this is a really useful item.
"Even if we are going to work with them, I don't want to rely on them, so we'll work the same way we did when we fought those monsters before, if the worst come, just run."
"Ok, don't worry, brother."
"I'll do my best tomorrow." - Kaiya.
"Right, let us sleep, good night."
I had a bad dream that night, I can't recall it well, but I felt my heart leave my body when I woke up. I decided to ignore it, and called for Kaiya and Nishi, it'll soon be time to fight, and I want to be ready when the time comes.
"Hey, let's go, wake up, lazy girls."
"uuuuh, dammit, let me sleep, just a little bit more." - Kaiya had already woken up and was stretching out herself, but my lazy sister, as always, is still complaining, instead of getting up.
"I'll poke you till death!" - I madly poked all her bodly, at first she was irritated, but soon started to laughing and getting up.
"AAAAAL RIGHT, all right, all right. STOP IT! I got it ok? I'm getting up! UHUUUL I FEEL SO FULL OF ENERGY!"
"No need to exaggerate. Let's go."
When we left, we saw that most people had already got up, and were packing their things. Only us had a safety room, it wasn't really expensive, but probably, only us had the luxury to waste our money on that, since right now it was only good to protect against humans, because monsters couldn't move freely yet.
"Did you sleep well?" - A person talked to me with cold face, this one is Tatsuo, the guy I saw on the first day in the cafeteria, the strongest from group 1 as well.
"Kind of, when are we moving?"
"Very soon, eat first, we'll move in about an hour."
"Sure."
I opened the shop, trying to decide what to eat, but so many things to eat, I could eat like a king, and still spend almost nothing, such a heaven! I'm not a glutton myself, but serious, this is too much for me to handle.
"Broooooooooootheeeeeeeeeeeeeeer, I want seafood again, pleeeease."
"No way, too much seafood is bad for your health, let's eat Brazilian food today!"
"Uuurgh, no! Seafood! Don't you agree Kaiya?"
"Well, I don't really care, Brazilian food sounds good to me."
"See, sis? Just surrender, and let's eat."
"Dammit, ok, you win."
We happily chat among ourselves, untill Tatsuo told us it was time to leave, I really had a bad feeling about this, I couldn't stop noticing the gazes directed at us. That perverted from the cafeteria's group still had her eyes on Kaiya's body, if he try anything funny, I swear I am going to cut his penis off and shut is mouth with it forever.
