Instant Time Mage 11
[What is happening?! Why are we in a forest?!]
[Where did the Building Hallway go?!]
[Where's the school?! Why is our classroom here?!]
[Everyone, calm down...]
[Look aren't those the 1st years down there?!]
[Eh? You're right! Hey everyone down there, what's going on?!]
Bit by bit everyone on the second floor were leaning against the windows. Seeing us out in the open, they asked us who were just as confused as them.
Ugh...
Suddenly, a strange impulse to vomit welled up in my throat and I couldn't help cover my mouth in pain.
[Hey, are you alright?!]
My best friend beside me saw me suddenly sick of everything and came to me with his eyes discerning my disgust.
Yeah, I'm okay. It's just that there's suddenly so many idiots now.
I'm mean, they're suddenly everywhere and I don't know where they came from...
Can someone like, cull them down to a single digit? Please?
[I think I really am not okay.]
I gave him a vague answer and a disgusted grin. He frowned at me and shifted his concern to the people above.
[Seniors! Please don't move around so much! Our classroom below you is crumbling down from the weight above! So, please don't move so much!]
My best friend knew what to say and said it so everyone can hear.
But our seniors...
[Eh? You're serious?!]
KACHA! KACHA! CRACK!
[HyaAAAAAHHHHH!!!]
Didn't listen.
The people above where startled when the walls started cracking from the sheer weight. Issuing sounds that would've scared a person to death. They held on tight and stood still from where they were. But even with their combine efforts, the walls couldn't bare them all.
[Everyone, jump down from this room now!]
At this point, the door of their classroom was burst open by a girl from their class. And when I laid my eyes on her face, I became helpless, happy, worried, weird... A myriad of emotions welled up in me. And all I could idiotically say was...
[Vice President!]
[Eh? It's you?!]
What do you mean "It's you?!" Call me Darling!
She laid her eyes on me and winced. Taken aback by my smile.
[Eh? That's the Vice President you were talking about?]
I could hear an annoying fly buzzing by my side. Tch, will you shut up? I'm trying to enjoy this romantic reunion after being separated from her for more than 15 minutes.
[Hey, give me a boost.]
[What? Oh, okay.]
He gave me a tilt of his head for a second before nodding at me as he understood. He broke into a sprint. I followed suit. He dashed like the wind before stopping a meter away from the classroom. He turned around and faced me. He crouched and tied his hands into a foothold. And I continued to sprint without any concern.
Using his hands as a foothold, I jump as he gave me a boost up. And in an instant, I was more than 5 feet away from the ground. On my way to the door of the 2nd year classroom. Where she stood watching me come.
[Vice President!]
[W-wait! Why are you coming here?!]
Because I want to!
I stretch out my hand to reach. Which she did the same as she extended to grab hold of me. Then she caught my hand and pulled me in.
And just like that, I came to her in a breath.
[Vice President, I have come.]
[I-is that so?]
It is so. I gave her a healthy smile and she gave a helpless smile that says 'why did you even come?' Creating a romantic scene between the two of us.
Ah, but that doesn't matter. In fact, nothing matters anymore. So long as I'm with Vice President, I don't mind bearing this disgusting world filled with disgusting people.
[Hey! Is everything there alright?!]
But it seems one guy couldn't read the mood as he shouted in query.
I told him it was all good for now after taking a quick glance around the classroom. The walls were cracking and creaking as dust and pebbles fell like light rain. Only time will tell how soon everything would collapse. The students were scared by it. And everyone was looking at me. Why is everyone looking at me?
[Umm... Excuse me. Could you let go of my hand.]
She, with her lovely voice, asked me with a shy tone.
I looked at her and saw her looking back at me. Her face blush as she moved her eyes between me and our hands holding. And I gave her a questioning look as I answered.
[No.]
What's wrong? Is something wrong with holding hands with you?
I was silent for a long time as I look at her. And she didn't know what to say or where to look anymore. Everyone else was looking at us but I didn't care about them.
That was until someone from them raised an impatient voice and came forward.
[Hey, junior over here. What are you doing harassing the Vice President?]
That someone was a girl whose height was lower a head of mine. She had short red hair with a cute face. Her fashion style was mildly wild the way she wore her uniform. Giving her a spunky air that made her look carefree.
Harassing? Me? The heck are you talking about?
Because I merely looked at her and didn't respond, she glared at me as she clicked her tongue. She looked at Vice President and asked.
[Vice, do you know this creep?]
[This...]
Vice president flinched as she didn't know what to say. She switches her gaze from the red girl to me. All the while tugging my hand holding her. Telling me to release her which I didn't because if I did, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
Meanwhile...
Creep? This little shrimp dares call me what?!
[I was thinking...]
[Huh?]
I looked at her and Red girl frowned at me. But I didn't mind her as I looked at everyone else and said.
[Seniors, please listen to me.]
[Oy, what are you--]
Shut up for a bit... I raised my hand before Red girl's face who turned unfriendly and spoke to everyone without caring.
[Grab as many chairs as you can and pass them to the ground. We juniors will build makeshift stairs for you to safely descend. And please hurry, we don't have much time here.]
Everyone gave me a look of shock and were stunned like statues. Then Vice president got over her shock and followed me with her voice.
[Everyone, do as he says.]
It was only then did everyone moved into action. I told my best friend what they were supposed to do and he agreed. Bringing along a few guys and built makeshift stairs using the chairs passed to them nearby the door.
Soon enough, everyone was descending in an orderly fashion.
We had to work fast due to the cracks creaking louder than ever before. But I didn't mind that as I looked at Vice President and her mien of helplessness.
[Uhm... Could you let go now. I want to help get us out, too.]
The two of us were standing far from others. Talking to each other as we minded our own business. And once in a while, others would steal glances at us. Looking at us with curious and perplex expressions.
[You don't have to do that. We can exit as the last ones.]
I'm not going to waste my chance holding you! My eyes were telling her such.
[You...]
She gave up all too easy after that and sighed. Crestfallen with her head hung low, she looked at me not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
[Wait a minute! Vice, who is this creep and why are you letting hold you all day long?! Shouldn't you be pushing him away?!]
Red girl was buzzing like an annoying fly nearby and ruined the mood. I looked at her coldly and she returned with an unfriendly frown. Vice president tried to calm us down by cutting her hand between us.
[Calm down, okay. It's not like I don't want to let go but he's just insistent on this so let him be.]
[What? But he's so creepy!]
[But...]
Vice president looked at Red girl. She gave her a bitter smile that couldn't be any more obvious to explain.
[Wait... It couldn't be that...]
Red girl only then had her eyes widen in disbelief. Which Vice President flinched and said in a fluster.
[I-it's not like it's official or anything! H-he was just really persistent back then so I decided to give him a trial... Or something like that...]
Vice president powerlessly hung her head down. Embarrassed by her own words, she couldn't look at us anymore and faced the other way.
Red girl had her lower jaw slack open and stole a glance at me. Meanwhile...
