Chapter 57: Plague (2/2)
The teachers, principals, and deputy principals at these prestigious schools were silent, as he was not wrong. By their calculations, the top 20 was guaranteed. Not to mention that there is a great chance that the boy will get to the finals...
”Looks like the finals aren't going to be between Del and Gabriel.” Someone muttered.
Those words caused an awkward silence again.

North of Amon's location.
A monster, yes, not an animal, but, a monster appeared. It was cruel, far crueler than wild animals.
A group had the misfortune to come across it.
”Ahhhhhhhh!”
A scream echoed in the forest.
Stuck around the neck of a teenager between 17 and 18 years old was a hideous monster, with a head bigger than a basketball, no more than 130 cm high, and a swollen belly that looked like a pregnant woman's belly. The monster had gray red skin and eyes that were obsidian black. It looked uglier than an ET you could only see in movies.
From a tree, this monster jumped, then bit the boy's neck and began to suck all of his genes.
Although only one of the weakest, this one was a 'plague'.
Plagues are the living beings that human beings fear most.
They steal all genetic power and grow stronger; in that sense they are similar to a vampire. But, instead of sucking blood, plagues steal genetics, thus killing the victim and getting stronger very quickly. The evolution of Plagues is very fast, and when finding a Plague, it is recommended to kill it as quickly as possible if you are able or flee as far away as possible. It was all to the extreme.
”Run!”
After leaving their stupor, the group leader did not want to fight, much less wait to see if their ally could still be saved.
One girl fell to the ground, she was terrified, although she only heard reports about the plagues, as the plagues had been without action against humans for nearly a millennium.
Those who saw this were so scared when the group was being attacked. It was not a good sign that a plague would appear on this planet. What if there are others?
That thought made them shiver.
”I'm going there.” Someone volunteers, ”I can't see this thing kill my student and do nothing. Besides, we can't let this thing evolve!”
”Kaisen, I'm going with you.” One woman said. She was the deputy principal of the school, Nossa Senhora de Fatima, she saw that her students were not far away. It would be too risky to let this plague live, as it could very well make her students the next victim.
”Thanks.” Kaisen thanked her, then he left, running very fast, disappearing from the spot.
