Chapter 25 - Chapter 22: The Returner Goes to the Academy

mitio–"brat, why did you activate the skill?"

wataru yoshida–"just in case something happens, I already have that point set up."

wataru yoshida–"anyway, the werewolves will arrive almost at the last battles."

mitio–"do you have any idea how many there were?"

wataru yoshida–"100 or 200."

Wataru Yoshida–"Well, I'll go ask how many people there are."

Before Wataru left the rooms, he would encounter several hooded people, which he would ignore until one of the hooded people, who looked like an old man, asked him if this was where the boys were and if he wanted to surprise his son. Wataru would answer yes and leave.

Mitio–"I don't know if you noticed, but the temperature suddenly dropped when they arrived."

Wataru Yoshida–"Yes, I noticed, but it could be the Nakamura family."

Wataru would go to where the vice principal was and ask him how many people there were.

Vice Principal Sakamoto–"With the students, there must be 60, with the teachers about 15, with the family members and people who want to see the fight, at least 500, plus the last 10, there are 585 people. Are you asking about something in particular?"

Wataru Yoshida–No, I just wanted to know.

Suddenly, the lights would go out and Sakamoto would shout for everyone to cover their mouths and noses. Unfortunately, only Wataru would hear this because the other teachers would fall to the ground.

Sakamoto would quickly give him a half mask that would only cover his mouth and nose and tell him that the gas only affects you if you inhale it directly.

Wataru Yoshida–"Shit, shit, shit, how the hell did they get here first?"

Wataru would start to get nervous because he had predicted that they would arrive first. The vice principal would notice and try to calm him down.

Vice Principal Sakamoto–"I don't know what's going on, but I have to calm him down."

Assistant Principal Sakamoto–"You mustn't give in to fear or nervousness. That will cloud your judgment. Stay calm. Everything will be fine."

Wataru would still be uneasy after those words, but he would feel a little relieved.

Assistant Principal Sakamoto–"I ask you to please go to the rooms and see if any of your classmates are there and get them out. I'll go see if I can find Taurus."

They both walked away. Wataru quickly reached the rooms and tried to go through some of them, but most were locked. Suddenly, Wataru saw a figure peeking through the door. Wataru asked who it was, and he heard a female voice that he recognized.

Wataru Yoshida–Takeda?

??? Takeda–Yes, Wataru, it's me.

Mitio–"Be careful, kid, he's weird."

Wataru Yoshida–"Relax, it's Takeda."

Wataru Yoshida–Takeda, come here, I have a mask for you.

??? Takeda–Yes, me too. Can I have something too? Okay.

Wataru Yoshida–Yes.

Something round and hairy would be thrown at Wataru. He would grab it, but upon touching it, he would realize that it was Takeda's head. Although still shocked by Ayaka's death, he would see a humanoid figure approaching quickly. Wataru would jump out of the way, dodging the attack.

Wataru would activate his passive night vision, which he had stored away before. Now that he could see well, he would notice that it was a werewolf.

Werewolf 1–Wow, I'm surprised that head didn't hit you.

Wataru Yoshida–You imitate his voice very badly.

Werewolf 1–Meh, that doesn't matter.

Werewolf 1–So you're that Wataru Yoshida, huh?

Wataru Yoshida–Yes?

Werewolf would let out a howl, calling his pack.

Wataru Yoshida–Too cowardly of you to call them.

Werewolf 1–Nah, it's to make the hunt more fun. Besides, I'm not calling them.

Wataru Yoshida–What?

Werewolf 1–Guys, show yourselves.

Even though the place was small, several wolves would start coming out of the rooms and stare at Wataru. One in particular would be late, and they would ask him to hurry up. He would apologize, saying that the boy and girl in that room were resisting too much and that he thought they were dead.

Wataru would hear those words and lunge at that werewolf, attacking him with a fiery wave that would pulverize the werewolf and damage those beside him.

Werewolf 1–Interesting.

Upon entering the room, the first thing he would see is Akira with multiple bites and mutilated body parts, but he would focus on looking for Hana, finding her behind the bed, bleeding from her stomach.

Wataru Yoshida–Ha...na.

Hana Watanabe–Wat...a...ru, you're...here.

Wataru Yoshida–Hana...

Hana Watanabe–Aki...ra sere...mos salva...dos

Wataru Yoshida–Yes, I will save you, I will save everyone, you will not die or suffer.

Although Hana was in a lot of pain, she could manage a slight smile when she heard Wataru's words.

hana watanabe–thank..you wa..taru for always being the same

The werewolf would approach and cut off her head, saying that it was too much talk and that it was better to be quiet.

Wataru would remain motionless, not knowing how to respond to that. The only thing that would go through his mind is to kill, to kill the werewolves in front of him, no matter if there are 20 or 50 or 300, he would kill them all.

Wataru would watch as the werewolf next to him was subdued. The werewolf leader would say that this time he would allow everyone a bite before his own.

No one would refuse, and they would slowly approach. Wataru had no way to defend himself and would simply accept what fate had decided, but he promised himself that he would kill them all.

The first three wolves would arrive, and Wataru would feel their fangs piercing his skin. The pressure was intense, followed by a burning sensation akin to being burned alive. But this would not stop. Wataru would be eaten alive several more times until there was nothing left.

The worst part was that Wataru was not on his back but facing forward, seeing everything they were doing, which disgusted him. He wanted to move, but all he felt was pain. Breathing hurt, the blood burned, and existing was equal to pain.

So he tried to close his eyes, but it was impossible; the pain wouldn't let him. But in a moment, he would stop feeling pain. He could only see and hear what they were saying, and he would hear that they had already killed the assistant principal and the principal.
