SPLAT!

SPLAT!

These mosquitoes attacked them one by one and striking them down causes it to burst and die in the hands of Kyosei. Kyosei holds the baseball bat that he let Chie hold earlier since the Cleaver is small and cannot hit hard against the mosquitoes so it is actually a bad idea to use it to them. Bats are for swinging and a wide weapon so it can actually kill most mosquitoes that are caught in it and you can smash them on it, leaving the splat sounds..

With the support of Kyosei's shoulders, he supported Chie barely up the shaft of the elevator while also trying to let the mosquitoes stay away from them.

”H...hurry... you're so.... freaking...heavy...” Kyosei groaned as he supported Chie.

Chie did not respond since she is grateful that Kyosei is already helping her to escape the mosquitoes. She grab the ledge and force herself to climb up. Kyosei on the other hand, started sweating, despite the darkness, he can manage to see the mosquitoes via sound. His years of experience hiding and pinpointing locations using the sounds an individual or a thing makes him capable of pinpointing the mosquitoes right now. He swings his hand when a nearby mosquito appeared in front of him and that causes the outbalancing of Chie on Kyosei's shoulder.

”Don't move Kyosei! I can't climb properly!!” Chie wriggled as she keeps herself on the elevator shaft. Kyosei gives her a good push and Chie is able to climb up the shaft.

Kyosei wiped his sweat and swings the baseball bat again and to ensure that they are dead, he smash it once more on the wall. He can hear a few buzzing sounds approaching and he is going to face danger if he keep himself down there. Without further ado, he goes back a few steps and sprinted towards the wall and of the elevator, below the shaft. With a running start, he uses his momentum to run in the wall temporarily and ejected in the opposite direction to grab the edge of the shaft. He quickly pulled himself up and put the shaft door back to its place, preventing the mosquitoes from entering. Kyosei sighed in relief seeing Chie is safe and also for being safe. Good thing for him is that he is exceptionally good in parkour and climbing up walls is easy for him to reach. In the past, this skill saved his *ss when some thugs tried to catch him, fortunately, he saw an abandoned construction site and parkoured his way, up to the middle floor of the unfinished building. The thugs lost him inside and escaped by jumping on a nearby stack of leaves which cushioned his fall from the middle floor. This time, it saved him once again and he really felt grateful for possessing the skills.

”Wow, Kyosei! I didn't know you can see in the dark!” Chie became excited.

”Huh?” Kyosei did not understand what she is saying.

”You killed those mosquitoes despite the dark hallway!” Chie explained.

”Oh....that,” Kyosei disregard it since he finds it useless for him. If it is about that, he pinpoint them using the sounds and despite the music in his headphones continuously playing, he can still hear many things properly.

”What's with that nonchalant answer?!” Chie frowned.

Kyosei continued to disregard her and looked up above. He uses his almost low battery phone to illuminate the walls. He scanned the area until he saw a nearby ladder which leads towards to the clocktower. Without talking, he sheathed all of his weapons back on the backpack and started his climbing activity.
