They…speak so monotoned now I hear it… The unsettling monotonic talk coming from "Korvos" was starting to get to him as he slowly began to shuffle subtly backwards. Kimura's hunch was on point as he needed to get out, however suddenly the open-door slams shut behind him.
Within seconds the three lunged towards Kimura, their bodies distorting into their true forms, amalgamated beings with dark and ashy skin, their white eyes and sharp teeth showed itself as Kimura activated his mana. Fear consumed Kimura as he dodged out of the way, rolling himself off the table nearby and kicking it into the three monstrosities, momentarily pushing their momentum back.
Kimura's fight or flight instincts kicked in as he jumped through the blinds, breaking through the glass and being entangled in the blinds briefly. He pushed it off as he gets up and began running down the eerie and empty halls of the main academy building. The building was in lockdown mode as the windows were suddenly applied with reinforced metal. Kimura tried punching through the metal as it was just hurting his fist rather than breaking through, every punch sapped away at his mana as the metal was sapping at his mana every time he made contact.
That hurts… Kimura looked as he rubbed his fist, but as sudden as it was a howl roared through the empty halls. The entire academy building became a building of horror, filled with three monstrosities out for him. I need to find a way out before these things kill me… Kimura looked for a room to hide in, opening a door into a science room as he took a breather.
The lights were still on as he turned them off, being lit up would just make it easier for them to spot him as he looked for anything that could help him possibly burn through the metal and exit out. Kimura didn't spend time thinking about what chemical would help him in this situation as he never thought he'd have to be in one. Just as he was scavenging through the science room, a feminine voice filled the halls as he stopped abruptly, hiding behind a table.
He was scared beyond what he imagined as he covered his mouth to see if it would help conceal his presence. The female voice was distorted just a smidge, their growing hunger unable to fully replicate the girls voice to a near identical 1:1. Kimura hears it walk, the wood creaking underneath its weight as it continues walking past the science room. Kimura lets out a soft sigh as out of nowhere he hears running as it runs back and into the science room, almost knowing that Kimura was in the room.
"Found YOU!"
The distorted voice echoed out as Kimura was scared by its sudden presence, he rolled out of the way as it tried biting at him with its sharp teeth, Kimura got up as he raised his fists up as he was cornered with this thing. It stood approximately seven feet tall, towering over kimura with its dark ashy skin as its hair was short and dark brown. It bore a wide and sadistic smile as it lunged once more.
Kimura dodged out of the way punching as hard as he could in the process, While the punch was solid it didn't seem affected at all by Kimura's punch. It swiped its arm at Kimura as Kimura barley dodged it, ducking as pieces of his hair were cut in the process, it had very sharp nails as he took multiple deep breaths.
Fighting it will get me killed…noted…!
Kimura then booked it out of the science room as it pursued him, Kimura looked at the time as only 8 minutes had passed. He kept running as he heard more footsteps; one was underneath him following his running speed as the third one reared around the corner with a sinister smile.
I'm trapped…!
Kimura was running into a dead end into another one of these amalgamations as the one chasing him finally caught up, pouncing onto his back pinning him to the floor. It crackled out almost victoriously as suddenly he heard his voice come out from the thing.
"I can finally eat now…"
The thought of it shivered down his spine as he had sparks come out of him, however these were doing little to nothing to the thing as it just smiled through it, suddenly it perked its head up as it looked around cautiously.
Kimura noticed what it was doing as it snapped its head behind it, looking down at the hall as it saw a figure standing at the end of the hallway. The figure stood firmly as it held its hand on the handle of a sword. The amalgamation roared out at the figure as it charged at the figure, reaching them in nearly 5 seconds flat.
"Pity…"
A feminine voice muttered as for the individual, its speed was notoriously slow. The figure lightly tilted its head to the left as the amalgamation missed as without wasting time they unsheathed a wooden sword with multiple engravings on it. They smacked the sword into its belly as the sword's edges looked dull, it cleanly sliced through the thing as I smashed into the wall behind her and exploded into dust.
Kimura got up as the second one began rushing at Kimura, a man suddenly jumped out from underneath breaking through the floorboards and grabbing it by its neck, pulling it down through and slamming it onto the ground before a second lady came over with a small wooden knife, stabbing its head.
"They're all eliminated now, Team Leader." The masculine voice called out.
"Good, that should settle this little incident." The team leader sighed.
"Hey uh, what about the kid though?" he asks her.
"Him? Just give him the usual." She approves of it as she walks off.
"Alright, Hey Zei'uha, you're up!" The male voice yells into the hallway.
"Finally, something better than standing around…" they utter out.
Kimura stands up quickly as he doesn't know what the mean as a hand reaches out from behind putting him into a headlock as another hand covers both his eyes. Kimura struggles as he then slams his elbow into their side trying to break free.
"Calm down young one…Breathe…just…breathe…" a feminine voice calls out to kimura.
Kimura continues his retaliation as slowly his retaliation begins to grow weaker and weaker as her hand glows momentarily, she lets go as Kimura was unconscious. The lockdown protocol was lifted as they brought Kimura out onto a stretcher, attending to him near the dorms.
"Thanks for dealing with the tarnished problem hunters."
"It's our job to deal with these things, don't worry about them." The team leader reassures the concerned professor.
"But what about the student?" the professor shows more concern.
"Him? He'll be okay, he just won't remember what happened today." The team leader reassures again.
