"Well, now I've done everything a teacher could do. So, I'll take my leave."
Ulima was about to turn and dash when Inna spoke up.
"Wait, wasn't there something like a preliminary class meeting?"
Ulima looked at her like she was stupid.
"If you want, you can have your class meeting, whatever, with the remaining students here. Though, they're all going to be transparent and a bit dead."
He spoke while brisk walking away from the room.
Every time he goes back here, he can't help but remember the horrifying times he experienced.
When he was a new teacher about two years ago, he was told to occupy any room for his research.
And every time he occupied a room in this floor, something horrific happens to him!
It happened so often that it deeply traumatized him!
Actually, those things he said to Inna weren't just to scare her…
They were his real experiences!
And the worst for him, was when he was mistaken as a woman and choked near death!
Who was he kidding with the 'won't actually kill you.'
They can and they will!
If he didn't have the ability to defend himself, he would've been turned into one of them!
Never again will he return here!
That lunatic is on her own now!
He quickly went back to his room, but not before activating the seals that blocks off anything and everything aside from air and sound from entering.
No one can beat him from his fear of ghosts, not even Inna!
But that's a secret he'll bury deep within his grave.
Meanwhile, Inna was trying very hard to focus on the positive things.
Like her bed.
Because right now, she's setting her priorities straight.
Fuck the ghosts, sleep is bae.
So, burying her whole body in the covers, she curled up in a fetal position as she tightly closed her eyes. She tried to ignore her imaginative mind and evened out her breathing.
After singing a few songs in her head, she finally drifted off to sleep.
But it didn't take long before she was forcibly woken up.
The incessant sound of something hitting the windows made her abruptly sit up from her bed.
*Clink*
*Clink*
She trembled in fear and confusion.
"What the fuck is making that sound…."
She mumbled sleepily before looking around for a weapon.
Then, she remembered that she had that black pouch thing that she tied on the side of her belt. So she pulled out a dagger from it and got out of the bed.
She looked around the room, and since it was still probably midmorning, she noticed that the room was well lit in the morning because of the wide windows. In fact, from the bed, it's easy to see the whole room.
*Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink*
Inna almost had a heart attack from the sudden barrage of sound.
What the fuck is making this noise?!
A machine gun?!
Another wave of 'bullets' resounded within her room, but this time, it ended with a different sound.
*Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**Clink**CRACK*
Upon hearing the cracking noise, Inna immediately looked at her windows.
With the dagger raised up in the air, she instinctively went on a defensive stance before tip-toeing towards the windows.
But before she can react, she saw a small shadow breaking through the window. Then, after she blinked, she felt something hit her forehead so hard she thought her skull cracked.
"FUCK!"
She cried in pain as she fell to the ground while catching the 'shadow' in her hand.
Feeling dizzy, she shook her head to get rid of it as she inspected what was on her hand. She tried to see what it was but her vision was still hazy from the hit.
She decided to feel it instead and she found out that it was a bit bigger than her hand and had an irregular shape with rough edges around it.
After a few seconds, her dizziness subsided and she finally saw the thing.
It was a huge rock.
Someone threw a huge rock at her.
"Hey."
Before Inna can process what happened, she heard a faint voice near her.
She looked around the room but saw nothing.
Ghosts!
That was the first thing that appeared in her mind.
It must be the work of those ghosts!
She clenched her shaking hands, hoping to find a strange comfort in holding a weapon. But she only felt the rock. She looked around and saw that her dagger was thrown quite a distance away from her. She must've thrown it when she fell.
"Hey! Here! Look here!"
Inna found the voice quite familiar but she wasn't sure because it was very faint.
"Pssst!"
Suddenly, at the corner of her eye, she saw movement.
And without further hesitation, she threw the only weapon on her hands back to the window where she saw a certain 'something' moving.
"OW!"
This time, the voice no longer held any faintness at all.
Hearing the loud voice, Inna was now so sure that she heard it before, and it surely wasn't some ghost!
She immediately made her way to the window and looked out.
Because of the tall grass, she wasn't able to see anything from her first look.
Then, she heard a groan of pain below.
So she looked down. But when she did, her face paled at the sight of blood.
