Chapter 21 The Dead and the Little Devil (1/2)
”Death is nothing to us, since we exist, death does not exist, and when there is death, we no longer exist.”
-Epicurus
Day 1: 9:25 P.M.
Kirishima High School - Corridor Halls
Duration of the Night Rage: 8 hours and 35 minutes left
********************************************************************************
The Corridor Halls is a hallway located outside the building. Its a quiet place leading to the back of the building where the huge library is located. It is a famous place for introverts to stay since the library is a shunned place by many students. The Corridor Halls can be accessed to go directly to the sports field.
Kyosei is still very cautious as he heightened his senses. Despite being a dark, he never gets afraid on what the dark is on. He proudly embrace what the darkness has in store for him. He is never afraid of ghosts. He never believes them. For many years of dwelling abandoned places and silent buildings, he never encountered one.
As he traverses the silent hallway, an undead wearing huge glasses jumps on and tries to lunge on him. Kyosei quickly responds with a quick swing of the cleaver. Blood splattered on the head as some brain matter oozes out of the skull. The cleaver embedded deeply on the head as Kyosei exerted a huge force on the swing. He lost his baseball bat during the battle of the Juggernaut earlier so his only weapon for swinging is the cleaver only. He steps on the chest of the corpse to have a small force to pull out the cleaver on the skull.
His method might offend some of those people who still think of these undead as fellow humans. For Kyosei, humans and undead are same species. Offending him only means death. He flicks the cleaver which has some brain matter stuck on the blade. He quickly left the place, leaving the dead body. He is not going to stay on the area for long. He don't know if undead are also attracted on a very silent method like that.
His headphones are not receiving any of Nanami's transmissions yet so Kyosei shifted the music to his favorite band, ”MAN WITH A MISSION”. All of the tracklist album he selected are all music of the band. He nodded as he continue his walk towards the end of the hall.
Reaching the end of the hall, he arrived on the door where it is made of glass. He peered a bit on the glass, only to see dead bodies scattered on the floor. Kyosei is not stunned. He is quite sure that some students are still alive besides him and his companions. He didn't pry any longer since he didn't care. He quickly opened the door, only to get lunged on by an infected. Kyosei immediately defended, holding the head of the undead. The undead is really eager to bite him as the teeth of the undead tries to reach him via stretching its mouth's reach. Kyosei did a quick move and he snaps the neck of the dead with a quick precision. In addition to that, Kyosei also punches the head, breaking up its fragile skull.
He quickly uses his senses to look around. An ambush is not good especially in the dark. Seeing that no enemies appeared aside from the undead he just beat up, Kyosei relaxes. He is planning on finding a flashlight but he has no idea where to find one. He is also not risking to use the other phones, some are on the verge of shutting down and the batteries are needed by Nanami, so he didn't need to. Only using the faint light, he nodded as he continues on walking the hallway.

The hallways are dark but a light is immited by a flashlight of a youth with a bit of spiky hair, accompanied by a girl with a short white hair only a bit in the neck length. She also wears glasses and currently clutches a thick book. From the looks of the two, the girl looks like a 3rd year while the boy with a bit of well maintained body is a 1st year.
