Madly dashing out of the room, Kyosei hold Chie's hand tightly to avoid slipping her accidentally that will cause unnecessary trouble. There are still a few undead madly dashing to them but Kyosei did not see them as threat and swings the sharp cleaver to every undead that tries to hit them. Knocking the undead is enough since they still stumble and will take a few time to get up again which is enough for Kyosei and Chie to get away. Kyosei did not need to kill the dead and he only need to strike them down. If they died, the better it is. They quickly arrived the staircase and Kyosei remembered that the undead around this place is not so troublesome and remembering the Home Economics room in the third floor, this will help them gather a few items to fend off the undead without wasting items.
”Let's go!” Kyosei run and Chie also followed. Even though Kyosei carried the duffel bag containing the heavy grenades, he is not slowing down. Chie only carried the bag with food and water supply inside a bag but she is slow in running and fatigue is clearly showing in her face.

Peeking in the hall, Kyosei looked carefully and silently to avoid regretting his choice. When he looked in the other side, the hallway only contains three undead that staggers occasionally. Flipping the cleaver in his hands, he catches it and grimly looked in the hallway.
”Stay here,” Kyosei signals Chie to avoid trouble. Chie nodded. She knows that she is only trouble in this area.
Crouching and approaching, Kyosei calculated the distance of each undead. All of them are far from each other but killing them is indeed hard. They run right now so he need to quickly kill to avoid wasting too much energy and to avoid producing too much noise. Its time for him to go to work.
Kyosei slid close to the first one and before it can react, the sharp cleaver met its demise. Of course, even the silence of the kill that he did, it didn't escape in the ear of the second one. Snarling, it rushes towards him and even the third give chase.
”F*ck...” Kyosei did not expect that the third one will also give chase. He need to act decisively.
Kyosei raises his cleaver and swings towards the second undead and he also kicked the third one on its chin and perform a somersault to evade the third slightly. It caused a knockback on the third undead. With Kyosei's reflexes, he rolled over and picked the cleaver that is attached on the second undead and quickly slams it to the third undead's forehead. After all of the undead died, Kyosei looted the pockets of these undead. The first one is a make up kit. It has a few make up left and it is most likely being used by the owner as a pocket mirror. He pocketed it down for he can use the make up for making something good since some of its components are rare to encounter. The second one has a pack of cigarette and a lighter. He also have some yen coins in his wallet. The cigarette is useless for him but he can use it for other purposes and can also be used as a tip for others if necessary. The third one is practically poor and has nothing to give in his pocket. The only thing he managed to loot on this one is the brass knuckles on its belt. He equipped the other one to his free hand. Even though he already have one, two is much better than one they say. He signed on Chie that it is safe to go. As Chie was about to go towards him, a pair of red eyes is looming behind her.
”Duck!” Kyosei shouted and throws out the cleaver.
Chie quickly responded and ducked, which caused the undead who tried to snarl out Chie to meet its demise. The cleaver struck the head and blood splat out. Chie was surprised by Kyosei's proficiency in weapons. Kyosei went to retrieve his cleaver without saying a word and looked downstairs. Its a bit inconvenient for them to have stairs in that floor on the first side and the stairs for the next floor on the other side. Its a good design but too much trouble for their escape.
Looking straight on the signs above the door, they saw the Home Economics room near the end side.
”Are you going to get some homemade weapons?” Chie asked.
Kyosei did not respond at all and instead, he opened the door and goes inside without uttering a word.
Day 1 6:23 P.M
Kirishima High School - 3rd Floor: Home Economics Room- East Wing
Duration of the Night Rage: 12 hours and 37 minutes
***********************************************************************************
The Home Economics room is not well lit up and even the light switch is busted. The hallways are also dark but Kyosei has no time finding the switch and he is better on running to escape than to let them get a chance to prey on him and Chie.
Inside the Home Economics room, the place is full of useful items once used for construction. Even a few planks is here.
”This place is full of things that we can use! I usually see it in movies!” Chie cheerfully said as she scan the items using her phone's LCD light.
Kyosei did not respond but he picked up the gas powered Nail gun. He saw a similar anime about a high school getting dominated by the zombies and a student picked up the nail gun, modified it into a nail gun with scope and a modified rifle grip to use it similar to assault rifle. Kyosei lifted it up the nail gun and he quickly agreed that it really is difficult to aim using the stance used for pistols. Also, it is much heavier than a pistol so a proper stance is needed if you want to use it as a weapon. He is not crafty enough like that gun geek in the anime so he pack it inside together with a few nails. The others might have a good hands or brain to tinker it to a useful tool. He also put two gas cans inside the bag he is carrying for the food. Since the food is separated inside, its not a problem if a few things not meant to be eaten are mixed in. It will cause a big problem if he put it together with the grenades so he didn't do it. He also picked up a smaller hammer which can be wielded as a weapon and used for construction purposes. He also stuffed in his pocket a multipurpose screwdriver, which can be used as a flatscrew or a starscrew. Kyosei got interrupted when he heard a strange sound. He looked at Chie and he saw a confused Chie, scratching her head and holds a blowing horn toy in her hands.
”S-sorry,” Chie awkwardly smiled at Kyosei.
Kyosei returned to his scavenging business and saw a grease oil, metal wires which is so thin, usually seen in movies with mysterious dismembered bodies. He also saw a pliers. Looking on the blowing horn on Chief's hands, Kyosei thinks up a good way to reach the fourth floor safely. Holding the pliers and the metal wires, he faces Chie.
”Help me on this”
