"So, what did she tell you?"
Givan asked Ingrit while sitting on the chair before Ingrit's desk.
Ingrit widened his eyes a little for being asked that. Then after hesitating for a bit, he nonchalantly said:
"Nothing."
But, Givan wasn't convinced by that. He knew something was up. So, he raised his right eyebrow, and asked:
"Did she confess her love to you?"
As soon as he heard that he flinched, and flustered a little. Then he hurriedly lowered his head, and scratched the back of his neck.
"Wait! Really?! So she did really confess her feelings to you?"
He shouted. Thanks to that the whole class heard that, and became shocked.
But, more than anyone Saiya was extremely surprised. Because, not too long ago she asked him out, but got rejected. And Shortly after that another girl asked out Ingrit! Though, there was no way for her to know if Adni got rejected by him or not.
Anyway, Ingrit's jaw dropped, and looked up at Givan with betrayed eyes.
"Come on, don't shout. Look the whole class heard that, damnit."
Givan smiled a little, and said:
"Sorry. I didn't mean to shout."
Ingrit sighed not paying much attention to his apology. Because, the damage had already been done. Now the whole class knew about Ingrit getting confessed by a girl.
Moreover, the whole class was probably going to think that Ingrit and that girl was an item now. Such a big misunderstanding would, without a doubt, be quiet vexing for him.

hmm. All the stats have increased a little after the training quest.
As Ingrit stared at the his status window with a bit anger on his face, he thought that.
After that, for a quick second, Ingrit and Givan felt the whole classroom shook a little.
Ingrit widened his eyes, and asked:
"Did you feel that?"
Givan nodded his head.
"Cloud-quake, maybe."
Cloud-quake is the same as earthquake. But, since this kind of phenomenon happens in the cloud states, people here called it cloud-quake.
"Yeah, you maybe right."
Ingrit said looking at the sky.
After that, the entire class again shuddered. This time everybody felt that, and got a little panicked.
Then again and again the classroom was shaking. This time the shuddering wasn't stopping, so most of the panicked students ran out of the class like an idiot.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
"Don't run."
"Take shelter under the desks."
But, nobody was listening to one another.
Ingrit stood up and with perplexed eyes, he asked Givan:
"What's that?!"
He pointed at the pure white organism that was covering the window beside Ingrit. Givan looked at it, and was also perplexed by this uncanny sight.
Suddenly Ingrit remembered what Feist had told him: "You are safe for now. But remember this: I know your face. So, there's no escape from me. Stay safe until we cross our path again."
Remembering that his face got overshadowed by tension, as he dismissed the status window.
Is it him or did he sent possessed humans to kill me. At any rate, this is bad.
Ingrit wasn't good at leading people. Moreover, he didn't have much presence in the class, and his fellow classmates thought of him as an unreliable fellow. Furthermore, if the possessed humen truly attack on their school, then he would have no choice but to use his power. But, he thought using it Infront of others might cause him problem.
So, he looked at Givan, and told him:
"Givan, hurry and go help the others student evacuate."
"Okay. But aren't coming."
Givan looked at Ingrit seriously.
"Yes. You go first. I will be coming soon. I need to go to bathroom first. I don't think I can't hold it in any longer."
Givan frowned, and said:
"Bathroom! At a time like this?!"
He then sighed, and said:
"Okay. But hurry. Also be safe."
Ingrit shook his head.
"Yeah."
Then Givan shouted:
"EVERYONE."
Hearing such loud voice, everybody froze and looked at Givan.
"Listen follow my lead. I will guide you guys to safety."
All the students in class had faith in him. So, they decided to follow him.
Meanwhile, Ingrit pretend to ran towards the bathroom. After running for a while, when he saw that no students or teachers were in the hallway, he decided to use his power.
First, he summoned his black dragon-like mask, and wore it on his face. As soon as he wore it, he got dressed in a black leather coat, black leather full-pant, black leather hand gloves and black leather boots.
He was looking very cool in those outfits.
These were the outfits he had create after his first training. Since he got a lot of coins as a reward after the first training, he thought he should create the rest of his desired outfits. So, he created those, which cost him 20,000 coins in total. Now, he had only 10,000 coins left.
Anyway, after getting dressed in those outfits, he began to walk back the way he came from. The school was quivering even more. He hurried, and began to run.
After a while, as he was running, he heard screaming of many students coming from the room no. 10. So, he stopped, and opened the door, then saw students of that class shaking in fear while being under the desks.
But, seeing a suspicious masked-man, those students screamed even more. They had every reason to be scared of masked Ingrit. After all, to them his dragon-like black masked looked terrifying. Moreover, he was looking more like a bad guys. So, obviously they got scared seeing him.
Ingrit understood why they were scared of him. So, he said with a friendly tone:
"Don't be scared, guys. I am not a bad guy. I have come here to save you..So, please come with me. I will lead to to safety."
At first, they looked hesitant to follow him. But seeing that the shivering was increasing even more, they had no choice but to follow him. Otherwise the whole roof might fall on them, leading all of them to death. So, they decided to trust their lives in that masked-man hands, and followed him.
After that, they all began to head to the exit following Ingrit's lead. But as they were going, Ingrit noticed something was off. The walls, columns, floor, windows all had been covered with white thick layer.
Ingrit stepped on that white thick layer, and could felt it was soft.
What is this?
He thought.
Meanwhile, Givan and his group. They managed to reach the location of the exit door. But unfortunately, the door and everything around it was also covered with that white matter.
What is this?
Givan thought.
What ever it is I need to get rid of this to get out of here.
Thinking that he took a few steps forward, and tried to pull out the white layer from the place where the exit door was.
He pulled and pulled, but each time failed to free the door from the white layer. He was physically strong, but it seemed that even his strength wasn't enough to detach that thing from the door.
Failing to do that, his face became tense.
What now?
"Are we trapped?"
One of the female students said with fear in her eyes.
"How should we get out of here?"
A male students said, panting.
Then the shaking started again. This time the shaking was very intense. It felt as though the whole building was going to collapse on the students.
So, naturally all the students panicked, but Givan was keeping his composer, and was looking around. After a while, the shaking, miraculously, completely stopped. Then suddenly Givan noticed that Saiya wasn't in the group. This time he got worried, and thought:
Where's Saiya?!
Meanwhile, Ingrit and his group was faced with a problem. Suddenly, 14 students--6 female and 8 male students began to act strangely. All of those 14 students began to scream like they were in excruciating pain.
They all covered their ears with both of their hands, and fell on their knees.
Seeing them in such state, the rest of the students began to panic, and was taking few steps backwards.
Ingrit, not realizing what was happening to them, said:
"What's wrong?"
After few seconds of screaming, they all oddly became silent. It was as if they suddenly died in the middle of screaming.
Ingrit looked at them by leaning down his head, and saw a unfortunate sight. Though, he wasn't sure if they were truly dead or not. But, none of those knelt students had any eyes! It was as if the eyes completely vanished from there! It was completely empty.
"What is this!"
Ingrit got a little scared.
Then slowly those students rose on their feets like life had returned to them. And, all of them began to walk forward like zombies. After walking few steps forward, they stopped moving.
Ingrit gulped. He was getting the feeling that something bad was about to happen. He clinged his fists.
Other students were standing behind Ingrit, looking horrified.
The whole room was silent like a ghost town. After a few seconds, those 14 students' heads, in a flash, got turned around, and neck cracking sounds could be heard.
With their bodies facing forward, and face facing backwards, they all were looking at Ingrit and the other students with emptied eyes.
Seeing this horrifying sight, Ingrit got a chill down to his spine while the students behind him screamed and began to ran backwards.
Then in a matter of seconds, all of those 14 students with their heads turned backwards, put on a hollowed and creepy smiles. Also, from the emptiness of their eyes, blood was dripping.
A weird sound came out of their mouth as they creepily smiled.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
