Chapter 17: Running Into Danger
Chapter 17: Running Into Danger
The only person who didn't look like she was interested in the fight at all was Arit! Arit was the only person on her feet, and she was frantically looking around for Mark ever since she came into the bunker!
"Mark! Mark, where are you!? Has anyone seen Mark? I can't find him anywhere! Teacher, I haven't seen Mark anywhere!"
Arit ran up to one of the male teachers that were standing at the side, and she shouted that she still hadn't seen Mark, but the teacher just rubbed the back of his neck in slight irritation as a new tremor shook the ground under their feet! Even though he was a teacher, he was still a normal human being, and he didn't want to leave the bunker either just because there was a single student who could still be out there! He wasn't going to risk his life like that!
"I'm sure he is fine. Don't worry about it too much. Just sit down; you're bothering the other students that are trying to watch the news."
The teacher said this to Arit, and Arit felt a great surge of anger fill her heart as she glared at the teacher and turned away from him! She should have known that the teacher wouldn't be any help at all! He was just a damn coward!
Arit continued to shout Mark's name while asking everyone if they had seen her friend, but no one was able to help her because they hadn't seen Mark yet, and no one wanted to go out of the bunker just to try and look for him! Arit kept on shouting for Mark, and some of the students started telling her to keep quiet and sit down because she was preventing them from seeing what was playing on the television properly! Mark was probably somewhere else, and he couldn't hear her, so she should just keep quiet!
Arit ignored all those people, and she kept on looking around frantically for Mark! A lot of fear came into her heart as images of Mark's dead or injured body were playing in her head! What if Mark was out there in the school, and he was trapped under a rock that fell? There have been a lot of tremors recently, and the tremors might have made something fall on him! There were still some students coming into the bunker, and Arit ran towards the entrance to look around to see if Mark was a part of them!
But as the students entering the bunker started to reduce, Arit's fears began to increase as she realized that Mark was not part of them! There is no way! Mark wouldn't miss the bunker without a good reason! Mark knows how dangerous it is out there! That could only mean that Mark was in trouble, and he couldn't come because of something big! He was in danger!

The teacher in charge of controlling the bunker door made sure that there were no more students coming in, and he nodded as he pressed the button to close the bunker door! The bunker door was automatic, so once it closed, it wasn't going to open anymore until the school was certain that the danger had passed. There was food and drinks in the bunker along with enough ventilation pipes to make sure that the students could stay there for more than a week if they needed to!
"Hey! What do you think you're doing!? The doors are already closing! Get back here right now!"
The teacher suddenly shouted this as he saw Arit run out of the door right before it closed completely! What the hell was she doing!? Couldn't she tell what sort of situation this was!? She could die out there if the fighting gets to this area!
Many of the male teachers quickly tried to see if they could hold the door open, and one of the female teachers tried to press the button to make sure it stayed open, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't keep it open, and it shut and locked them in while locking Arit outside!
"She's going to die out there! What in the world was she thinking!?"
One of the female teachers shouted like this as she started to make a call to the authorities so that the police could come and get Arit out of the school! No one can leave the bunker until the danger passes, so the only thing that they can do is hope that the authorities can help her!
[The fight between GHOST and the calamity class has now crossed into the eastern side of the city! GHOST is trying his best to hold his own against this unbelievable monster, but from the looks of things, he is not faring very well! It will not be long now before things go from bad to worse if reinforcements do not arrive soon!]
The reporter on the news channel shouted this, and the teachers and students all looked up at the television in shock! Their school was located on the eastern side of the city! That meant that there was a very high chance that the fight would reach their school very soon!
The teacher who called the authorities turned off her phone with a sigh after she got another automatic message from the answering machine telling her to try again later!
There was no chance that the authorities would come here anymore since the fight was already reaching this side of the city! Even if they answered her, then it would take hours for them to send their people to rescue survivors! The only thing that the teachers could do was hope that Arit managed to stay alive long enough for someone to come and save her!
...
"What the hell is your fucking problem with me!!?"
BOOM!!
Mark sent a left hook straight at the ant-headed anima, and he had to bite his inner lip in pain as his wrist almost broke from how fucking hard the ant-headed anima's skull was! Is this shit made out of fucking metal? There was no visible effect on the anima, and it grabbed Mark by the head and spun around before tossing him down through ten floors of a skyscraper!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mark shouted in pain as his back burned from the intense force, but he didn't allow the pain to stop him! Once he landed, he quickly grabbed a metal pole that was lying at the side and aimed it at the ceiling while waiting for just the right moment!
Boom!
"Raargh!!"
Throw!
At the exact moment that the ant-headed anima burst through the ceiling, Mark threw the pole like a javelin straight for it! Mark knew that his throwing strength was nothing to scoff at! Mark could throw a javelin with enough force to make it travel for more than three kilometers easily! If all that force is put into one throw, then Mark knew that he could impale a block of solid metal with his javelin throw! But Mark's eyes widened in shock as the metal pole that he threw with all his strength bent and crumpled as it couldn't even pass through the ant-headed anima's skin!
Slam!
