Oh..... Why, aren't you capable?"

Ark was curious seeing her like this, though saving them was originally to test out his evolution partially and other out of frustration, not to mention of experiencing some unpleasentries from certain spoiled emperor. Right now, he just wanted to know Shana's wanted to say, try to leave quickly with Yu Lian without unpleasantness, or else it would be impossible to leave when it gets dark nor seeing in bad terms with his student.

"I know you already heard from them saying that, but it's not like that!"

Shana bite her lips depressingly, clutched tightened on Ark's hand and didn't seem to want to let go at all. Although her actions appeared mature and stubborn like she used to, but knowing her for a long time, Ark realized that she was still a ordinary girl from before and that her attitude and actions much more mature than her actual age. Before, he only noticed her ice cold side was a result of being the heir of Tsushima's legacy, strict with reputation and traditions, when she even showed when cutting zombies, and he was completely forgotten that she isn't her true self but the other self.

Maybe it's because of the pressure and high expectations given from her peers that she had to bear the baggage of responsibility of taking care of her classmates, added the danger when she goes into battle, Shana gives off a much more mature aspect rather than her appearance.

"Hey! teach... Do not stare at me that hard!" Noting Ark"s eye had been locked at her face, Shana suddenly felt slightly embarrassed, and let's go off his hand: "We're all in same boat, and you have some tricks at your sleeve, why aren't you willing to guiding us and help?"

(If it's really so powerful, why do you still need my guidance...unless)

Hearing Shana's tone, she is obviously reluctant to admit that she is lacking in some aspect which Ark has it, he thought.

Thinking back, that way she leads this group is more of a passive than active approach, never give a specific task and when Shana and Li Kai Cheng go out to find food, she is lacking in planning department that she didn't even assess the situation before acting. Only strength she has is when she in combat.

"Let's me put it in this way. I'll never guide nor help if its related to those people who aren't contribute to the group. It is your choice to feed them, and not doing meaningful. Then I keep silent about that, However if you want me to guide them, then it would be the same answer as the last." Ark really doesn't have much feeling of leading towards those who sit idly and care only to their safety, and ever since Shana and Li Kai Cheng came back, their classmates never even concerned about their safety, instead they only cared is themselves, reputation or whatnot, and how to exclude others especially outsiders.

Slapping Lu Xin's face to a certain extent was also a hit to these worms' ego indirectly.

(Oops...maybe I rub it in too much like Yu Lian would react)

But that is, in the end, Shana and Li Kai Cheng's own risk to take, and he has no say in the matter. But if it was them and not something related to those people, it may be possible to agree.

But after listening to Ark's word, Shana actually showed a hint of enigmatic smile: "Does this mean, you are willing to lead us as long as its not related to them? That's good, cause this favor of mine really has nothing to do with them."

"That's good, but I didn't exactly say what I meant to say..." Ark replies.

"Teach, you probably know or heard from Li Kai Cheng, but we are students from Sanban High School in X City, you know about this school, right?" Shana inquired as her enigmatic smile at him.

"Yeah. I know. A prestigious elite high school and a boarding school as well..."

In X City, The Sanban Elite High School is very famous, a top high school with many achievements is one of the many. High quality education and standard of equipment for student's needs. However they have the strictest qualifications of overall grade whose its each class competes in being a top dog. During his teaching career and when Wang Lan was still alive back then, she heard that Yu Lian was graduated from Sanban Elite High the year before, and she was admitted to X City Academy through recommendations.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

But he knowing about the retarted Lu Xin who appeared to have a fetish for punches, is actually a student of Sanban Elite High School.... Probably explains his arrogant attitude along with other students being self-centered.

At this time Li Kai Cheng added promptly: "That Lu Xin's Family was admitted him through money and influence."

"For once, I agree." Shana nodded at him, then continued: "When we got out of the school, we left some classmates and teachers in there. Supposedly, we should pick them up after we found a place to hide, but we try to came back to the school once, though it was impossible for us to get close. What I want to from you, teach is to help me to get into the school. How about that?"

To be honest, Ark have acquired of a realist spirit, and based on what Shana's story have told him, probably by now either mutated or worse.... somehow he need force Shana's ideals onto his or else she be bad situation.

He looked at Shana somewhat meaningfully, suddenly extended his hand: "What about my compensation?"

"What?" Both Shana and Li Kai Cheng spoke in unison.

"What? You did not thought I do this for free, that environment is very hazardous, right?" Ark rightfully asked.

Li Kai Cheng's eye suddenly jumped, instantly asked witlessly: It is common sense that during disaster, everyone will help to benefit each other! Big bro! I suddenly feel that the world is so wicked!!!"

"That because it's not kind of disaster that ought common disaster would. It is doomsday, after all. The common sense of natural order is already obsolete right after the society has collapsed." Ark gave a sighly grunt, said.

Indeed, these is a zombie apocalypse, survivors become like mice, hiding and surviving in between the cracks of the fallen society. The natural order of the entire world that has been continuously maintained was only collapsed, a week ago after society collapsed, maybe they still counted on to be saved from the central government, but now the reality was playing catch-up to them, besides saving ourselves, there is such a thing like no right or wrong decision.

During the disaster outbreak, everyone suddenly mutated into zombies, and no one could explained exactly in every channel on how did the virus spread, only guesses. But in such pandemic outbreak like this and how it was swept across the world in a single day, theory, is that virus was probably carried through air or something....

And when these zombies encounter living people, they will only immediately tear and eat them, not given enough time to mutate at all.

Shana looked stunned for a moment as she stared at her teacher, then a hint of smile suddenly surfaced: "That demand is very reasonable. However we only have scarce of canned we got from the supermarket, so what is your demand?"

"A favor." Ark said plainly.

Since Ark planned to give a reality check on Shana's common sense. She didn't know how such a scary environment would be during doomsday would actually unfold for anyone. This mental attitude is already out of the scope of the common sense in doomsday. It can completely be called a lethal weapon that could backfired!

But when Ark looked at her expression, he found that she was already been commiting such a suicide rescue mission, slightly more dangerous than she thinks....

Probably saw her former teacher's doubts, Shana gripped the handle of the Katana using her backhand, determined and said: "I know what I'm doing and will make risk, I made this choice, depending how reasonable your favor is, teach."

"By the way, teach. The other one with designed as kunai (Dagger) you have is by me." Shana's hand pointed at Ark's waist knife.

"Yours?!" This really stunned Ark, he expected that Wang Lin, who was a weak girl but master at her craft in create handmade edge weapons, and crafted it so skillfully....but then he thought of Shana, she was prodigy of wielding swords and won consecutively both local and international competition, though she is only daughter of the Tsushima Clan and both Wang and Tsushima were business rivals, it would not be strange for her to inherit the craftsman skill, like Wang Lin.

But when Ark looked at kunai on his waist, he found that the lettering on the handle is Sakuranian words, it would indicate the letters inscribed is inspire from her family's culture. But this actually the same with Shana's Katana sword with the same inscription to the kunai, and even the sword hangs on his waist, very same to Wang Lin's dagger though its differ of letter inscription since Wang's a Easternians.

However, at this young age, and with such good craftsman skill, but to be killed at such young age without leaving behind a corpse.... Ark couldn't help but to clench its handle, and remember them again made his expression had also become somewhat gloomy for a moment.

Shana did not notice her former teacher's subtle changes in demeanor, but continued to speak: "Both she and I learned forging skills under Wang Lin's grandfather tutelage. Even though I did not make it as good as hers. The kunai is still great quite a bit. So this count as favor been paid in advance, if you agree that is? So that's the deal. If you worry about Big Sis (Author: she is referring to Yu Lian), You can leave her here waiting for us. My classmates will take care of her."

"No is a different kind of favor! Though She is with me. It's fine!" Ark directly interjected Shana's seemingly trapped proposal, no kidding, not to mention that Yu Lian is actually a mutated zombie, if case the spiritual connection was suddenly cut off. When we came back, all we see later is a pile of bones and flesh scraps was left of a bloody room.

"Although I know you since you were my teacher from middle school that you are kind of stubborn, but you are good person at this aspect. You still do protect your girlfriend pretty well. Even though big sister can't talk and seems introverted as well, but she such a beautiful woman, so you should cherish her." Shana raised her eyebrows, suddenly patted Ark's shoulder, looked happy and said.

(Actually, Shana...you really misunderstood... she's not really)

But knowing that Shana and Wang Lin were at his wife's funeral. Ark's heart couldn't help but loosened up about have feeling for Yu Lian however he shook away that thought.

Though he really loosened up about not wanting to guide her and help her out. In a densely populated area like Sanban High, there is a high probability of encountering more zombies; the students and teacher staffs who able to survive and stay hidden in there most likely had the odds against them, and if he was thinking was correct, the moment the food rans out, there is chance of cannibalism effect similar to Yu Lian's case would happen.

However for Shana, she may have thought about it differently in contrast to his, yet she didn't give up.

(Should I really say that she was persistent or being fool....no it's Shana were talking about!)

"If only I could make her change her mind..." Ark carefully considered for a moment, it would be no problem if the chance of cannibalism effect would happen lessen until they arrive at Sanban High to see it. In case if there are any unforeseen circumstances, he takes both Yu Lian and Shana to safety.

"Great! Big bro Ark, I'm happy to see that you are will to stay and help, let's have a toast tonight! Ha ha ha..." Li Kai Cheng secretly gave Shana a thumbs, then put his arm around Ark's shoulders, and laughed.

"A favor for a favor, You're still same teacher that I've known for." Shana smiled slightly and then pulled Yu Lian. Looks like she took a liking for Yu Lian as her big sister despite she didn't say at all and carries no expression like normal person would...
