Chapter 92 - Blinding Lunch Break (5) (1/2)
The light was very blinding.
Even if I looked away from the window, there were still white spots in my vision.
“Kyaaah!”
“Wow!”
“What the!?”
The students in the classroom all cried out in surprise.
“It’s blinding! What happened?”
I also spoke up.
I closed my eyes instinctively.
“My eyes! My eyes!”
I heard Kusaka’s outcry.
I rubbed my eyes a couple of times, and could finally open them after a while.
“What is it now…”
“Ah, I can gradually see.”
I quickly stood up and rushed to the window.
When I looked back at Kusaka, I found him sitting on the floor while blinking repeatedly.
“W-what is that?”
Among the female students who were at the window, one murmured while looking outside.
I squeezed into the vacant space, and leaned out through the window to take a look.
“Hah…?”
The scenery of the town that could be seen from the school remained the same.
Several high-rise condominiums and houses.
Most of the area was occupied by fields, rivers, and some small mountains.
However, there is one change that you could tell with just one glance.
“That’s Tusk Crag… right?”
The inverted triangular monolith measuring an estimated 100 meters that towered behind our house.
The famous Tusk Crag, a symbol of this rural town that contains a dungeon, has grown more than twice its original size.
It didn’t just increase in size.
From a distance, it’s green.
Up until now, it was the color of rocks, but now it was completely covered with green.
“Ahh?”
As I continued to look at Tusk Crag, its appearance seemed to warp for a moment.
No, that’s not it.
It’s not distorted, it’s increasing.
Since the points that are increasing is scattered, it just looks distorted at this distance.
“Are those… trees?”
It’s hard to tell from here, but the green stuff were probably plants.
The smallest green particles that were fluttering around what was once Tusk Crag were probably leaves?
“Kyaaaaah!!”
“R-run!!!”
The beastmen couple that started dating recently screamed from the window side seat at the top.
“It’s coming this way!”
“R-run away!”
“Where do we run to?”
“It’s too fast! It’s useless!”
The students at the window also screamed one after another.
I also look out the window and saw the scene with my mouth fully open.
I heard an unpleasant sound as if hard objects were being rubbed together and the sound of something cutting through the air.
It was from the direction of the huge green object that appeared to be Tusk Crag.
A large number of trees and shrubs were growing in our direction at an abnormal speed.
There was no time to escape, it swallowed the convenience store in front of the school, and after it swirled around the sports ground, it then covered the entire school building.
Almost happening in a near instant, my mouth opened even further.
“What is this…”
Thin branches, thick trunks, and trees and shrubs of various sizes were closing in one after another, and soon the outside scenery couldn’t be seen anymore from the window.
The trees grew along the school building as if they were flowing.
The sun was blocked, and the classroom only had fluorescent lights.
“No way… what’s going on?”
Everything was so incomprehensible that everyone was silent.
I’m looking at the branches that blanketed the window with a dumbfounded expression.
“This is an announcement for all students! This is the principal! Everyone should be seated until the homeroom teacher arrives in the classroom! Okay? Do not panic! The faculty members will immediately gather in the staff room! The teachers in charge of today’s student counselling will go around protecting the students in the school building, club room building, gymnasium, and the sports ground. I will increase the number of personnel later!”
The shoulders of all the students shuddered.
A loud voice resounded from the loudspeakers installed at both ends in front of the classroom.
The window glass was quivering from the noise.
“Was that the principal?”
“S-should I just wait at my seat?”
“Well, even if you can go outside…”
“Right?”
Looking around, the students slowly return to their seats while looking at each other.
The color of doubt did not fade from their faces.
Probably because they didn’t know what to do, so they were just going along with the instructions.
For some reason, I didn’t move and looked out the window again.
