"Where are the bodies?" Ainz asked, coming down to the ground floor.

"This way," Henry's partner took Ainz to a room full of bodies.. or should I say.. corpses.

"Amazing work!" Ainz seemed very happy when he saw the headless bodies of teachers and wardens.

Ainz lifted his hands and a dark ball started forming in between. Within a minute, a number of newly formed zombies were standing in front of Ainz.

"Why don't you just kill Ryan yourself?" Henry asked.

"Huh? No way, that's no fun at all." Ainz replied with a frown.

"Are we here for fun..? Boss, Z-grade masters might arrive anytime. We should not delay our mission."

"I have you guarding the entrance. With you on the guard, no one will be able to enter the building."

"You are taking my strength for granted,"

"And anyway, I wanna torture Ryan before killing him. I will watch him killing his own classmates, he will soon be exhausted then I will kill him with some word torture."

"I see."

A black car pulled in front of the dorm's main gate. From the car, Sadako stepped out with a worried expression on her face.

"General Sadako-san, we believe that it's an enemy attack. There, some strange kind of infectious disease has seemed to spread.

"Many of the students were infected, they turned into a strange creature and tried eating other humans. We sadly had to end their lives."

"Hm. what are other teachers doing?"

"Approximately, 15 men are inside the building including the floor wardens but we have not received a single message from anyone."

"Okay." she stopped when she spotted a huge crowd standing in front of the dorm's main gate.

"They are the survivors, ma'am."

"What are we waiting for then? Why is everybody standing here?"

"Uh.. actually.. I think you should hear it from her." the man bowed as he pointed at Naomi.

"Mitsuda-san?"

"Yes. she... She is saying something about her friend.. please-" he directed Sadako towards Naomi.

"Man. it's really quiet, don't you think?" Devon muttered.

They had completed their check. They found another five infected students and had to ask a teacher to eliminate them.

"Yeah.. I wonder what Ryan is doing inside.. what happened to Ryan..."

"He's still alive." both, Naomi and Gwen said at the same time, they exchanged glances.

"I know him very well-"

"He won't die so easily-"

'What the hell...?' Devon was feeling anxious about his relationship with Naomi.

"Pfft! What's with you two?!" Rigid broke out laughing.

"Mitsuda-san..." they heard a mature female voice behind them, "Can I have a talk with you?" Sadako asked, standing in front of Naomi.

"Sadako-san," she bowed, "Yes, sure. What is it, ma'am?" Naomi asked politely. Again, others were clueless.

"What are we waiting for? Why is everyone standing here when the attack's already over?"

"Attack? Oh- you mean the zombies. Yeah, you can say it's over but.. my friend is still inside."

"We don't know if he's alive or not-"

"He is. He is alive. And he said he will meet us here so he will meet us here. I want you to please wait here before doing anything."

"I think it's really dangerous for us to stay here," Sadako was surprised by Naomi's so much faith in someone, "Let me take students out of this place,"

"Sure. I and my friends will stay here till our friend inside comes out,"

"Understood." the situation was slowly changing and everyone had noticed it.

Instead of Sadako giving orders and Naomi being the one to listen politely; it was totally opposite here.

"I will stay with her here," from behind, speaking in Japanese, Johan walked towards the group with Steve behind her, "I, as their former principal, I will take their responsibility,"

"Sir. Yes, it would only make things easy for us,"

"I will stay with them too." Brandon, who was standing in the corner said, "I am their former Head general after all."

"Okay, then shall I rest assured and take the survivors to the main building,"

"We will join you soon," Johan replied.

"Mitsuda-san, we will be waiting for you.. and I am really excited to meet this friend of yours."

"Yes, ma'am. I will make sure to introduce him to you," Naomi bowed again.

"Thanks for your help, sir." Devon and Rigid thanked Johan and Brandon.

"Nah, I am doing this because I want to. Cause I know very well... Who this friend of yours is." he replied with a grin.

"Me too. I know very well who is inside that building and I have no intentions of going inside."

"He told us to wait here, not to come inside," Devon replied quickly. They exchanged glances.

"Still man... Don't you think it's way too calm considering there are more than fifty undead and only one Ryan inside?" Devon said that again.

"Yeah... It sure is calm for someone as Ryan being alone inside." Johan nodded with his arms crossed.

"Either he's dead or.. yeah, he's dead." Brandon declared.

"For god's sake, Ryan's not dead, he's still alive!"

'Oh god.. again?' Devon sighed after Naomi and Gwen raised their voices against Brandon's declaration.

Students, teachers around them started exiting the dormitory's campus. Sadako led the group, a few teachers were standing behind the students.

300-400 meters walk to the main building. Soon the students were taken to their classes, the injured were treated quickly, food was provided at the midnight.

After that gruesome night, not many were sleepy.. some didn't even think about sleeping.. they might have nightmares, you know.

Devon, Rigid, Rosy, Gwen, Naomi, Brandon, Johan, Steve were waiting for Ryan to come out.

"Hey.. it's been silent for a while. At least we would hear some sounds." Brandon spoke taking a step forward.

"What do you think, sir?" Steve asked.

"Something's wrong. They said teachers were sent inside.. where are they? Where is Ryan? Something is really not right."

"It's for sure he's not dead but... I can't sense his movements either." Johan reported.

The rest were thinking of the worst-case scenario.

But soon after, their suspense was broken by a loud explosion. They all raised their heads and saw a bright red light sparkling all over the third floor.

The windows broke, glasses shattered, doors blew off. The amount of smoke increased suddenly, the red light turned into fire.

"Shit. the building's on fire! We gotta go inside!"

"I- I will check, you wait outside," Devon pulled his arm to stop Steve.

Everyone panicked because of the loud explosion.. Not just glasses.. even limbs, heads, brains flew out of the building and fell on the ground.
