Kyosei talked with Leo privately. In terms of trust, he trust Leo the most despite being the younger one, Leo is not someone who bother on who is the elder and the young. He prefer on friend treatment relationship rather than teacher-pupil relationship treatment.
”What's up?” Leo asked as he was dragged by Kyosei in the gymnasium entrance.
”I want to ask if there are something useful near the gymnasium that we can use against the horde outside?” Kyosei asked. He need information.
”Useful? What kind? Like guns? Nope, that is impossible. Aside from the gun that you are using, I don't see any guns here, not even the guards so that should answer your question,” Leo said immediately.
Kyosei shook his head.
”No, what I mean is, something like gasoline or any similar type of those, anything that we can use against the horde without producing any kind of danger to us,” Kyosei explained.
”Ah, that? In fact, I remembered that there really is a gallon of gasoline in the shed, near the gymnasium. It was used to fuel up the lawn mower for maintaining the grasses in the football field. But how will you reach there?” Leo asked.
”Trust me, I can do it. Where is it located precisely?” Kyosei inquired.
”East here, an old building near a small growing pine tree. You can't miss it,” Leo said.
Kyosei nodded. He immediately climb up, back to the area where he is defending the door earlier. Instead of staying there or going down, Kyosei continues to scale the gymnasium wall, reaching the roof. Testing that the roof is sturdy for him to stand on it, Kyosei begins his survey in the surrounding area.
The ground is still full of the dead but the trees are a bit lower. Some buildings are also a bit lower on the branches of the tree and are good places to use as temporary ground. The area is good and he can use his agile parkour skills to reach. With the branches to grab on, he calculated what motions are needed here to reach his destination and find it smooth, however, his problem is how to return to gymnasium. He can't possibly use his route back as he is quite sure that he has a large probability in failing to return. He is not that dumb to never think in advance.
He look at the lock in the door of the gymnasium. Despite seeing something strange, he made sure that it won't hamper and cause trouble like breaching the door. He made sure that it won't open for a while but he is not sure how long will it hold on since it can't go on holding the door forever.
He returned to the auditorium where everyone are and directly fetched the bag. There is a rope he got somewhere while looting around the classrooms. This rope is sturdy. He wrapped it on a coil and attached it on his keyholder in his belt like a cowboy. He cannot put the rope around his body as it would be troublesome when it is time to unwound the rope off his body thus he just attached it on his key holder. It dangles alongside with the stylized chain in his pants, making it more like he is some sort of real cowboy, lacking the beard, the cowboy hat and the blazer.
Looking around, he pulls out his Revolver and hands it to Leo along with its remaining bullets.
”Though it might be that I am disrespecting you as an adult, you treat me like a brother like the same age as you. That made me trust you on this gun. I have no use on this one and I prefer to go on close combat than long ranged. If the dead might manage to sneak in or whatever reason, use it while I am away. I am entrusting their lives to you for now,” Kyosei said to him before returning the entrance to do his thing.
Everyone understood a bit of Kyosei's temperament now. Despite having a sharp tongue and always work in solo, this infact, made a good cover to use for Kyosei to do his job as one with the most experience in trouble. He made sure everyone is pissed so he has a chance to make everyone go away from the dangerous situations. Even Nathalie who is rather arrogant understand what he really wanted to. Only Sendo seems to be not caring anything at all as he quietly listened to them. He has a plan to brew while the troublemaker is gone...

Day 2: 1:19 A.M.
Kirishima High School - Gymnasium: Rooftop
Duration of the Night Rage: 5 hours and 41 minutes left
********************************************************************************************
Kyosei looked around and inspect the edges of the roof of the gymnasium. He is making sure that this plan of his won't end up as a failure. Grabbing the edges of roofs are dangerous as they can wound you. Right now during the apocalypse, first aids are going to be common rather than sending them to hospitals. And to avoid wasting precious medicines, he is making sure that he won't get wounded. Even wearing gloves is not quite safe in bladed stuffs.
After making sure that the edges of the roof are not sharp and rather good in condition, he looked at the obstacles, finding a few good spots to use as the beginning point in the parkour skills.
Checking the low shed meant for the trashcans is near a good and sturdy branch, Kyosei then calculated his movements. Despite it is still dark, for some reason, he is more adept in maintaining his vision in the dark.
