I turn back to the others and nod. We start walking to the stairs down. I now have a chance to check my system as I heard a *Ding* (Sage what was it?) =Hosts Common-Mage Has Become Level 2= (oh? nice so kills work. Sage how many did it take?)=After The 5th But Do Note Host Did Not Level Up After The 2nd 5th Kill=
(Um.. Is it a lvl per every 5 {5,10,15,20} or is it like some others, and its that is doubles each lvl..{5,10,20,40} I hope its not X10 more..{5,50,500} It shouldn't be that bad its only the 1st tier.)
I pull myself out of my thoughts when I hear sound behind me. It seems she will follow us for now... (WAIT! Did i get anything for hitting lvl 2?) I look quickly and see yes I did my MP went up by 5.... its now 261/306 {40 for lvl1 spells and added 5 to max but doesn't just give me it..} (Oh? and my sense got a rank lvl) It is now Uncommon-rank 8 so that's nice.
Clay: So you will follow us, and listen?
Kyoko: Yes its better than going alone myself, but um, you will help me right?
Clay: Yes though you are not someone I deeply care for you are someone who is following me, so I will help you in fact here is a knife for you to defend yourself. Saya should have already explained they are zombies and ONLY destroying there head will kill them, they are not who they were they are now mindless killers.
I say as I had her a basic hunting knife that she takes and nods to my question. Well that's good now than, I turn back to see they girls are already fighting. So I walk up and cut off a zombies arms, and legs the drag it to Kyoko.
Clay: This will be your 1st one to let you feel it the next I will only take of its arms, then the 3rd will be you all by yourself. So take a breath and get ready.
She is shacking in fear, but after she takes a breath she stabs its head, than turns to throw-up. I go get the 2nd one ready the bring it back to her. She has calmed down a little bit, but that's all I tell her "here is the 2nd one" then lead it to her.
She panics a bit, so I tip it. That helps her to calm a bit and she slowly walks to it and stabs its head killing it. She doesn't retch this time that's good. So I go and get the 3rd one and lead it to her then I tell her
Clay: Here it is just like the others stab the head careful of its hands. And as you saw they are really slow.
She nods, and to my joy she walks up and stabs its head killing it.
Clay: Good now you should be more prepared at least take a rest, and follow behind. But make sure your ready in case one gets through.
Kyoko: Oh, a, okay.
With that done I walk up to take the front to let the others rest, and to get them kills. {now some of you might be thinking why are you doing all that for her what about your wives you didn't help them like that? And I'll tell you simply because my wives are much stronger at least mentally I mean in the OG they were all badasses even Shizuka she ran over HOW many zombie??? I get they weren't at the start, but they were and ARE much more prepared then in the OG. Plus I was keeping an eye on them if they had problems and they didn't Shiz hesitated for a bit but still killed a few}
{Oh. Also if someones going to follow me and LISTEN to what I tell them of course I'll help them. Its not cause she is HOT, that is nice and all, but I'm just not really interested IN her is all I mean I have 5 HOT ASS wives now my pants are not over excitable as they were before.}
While clearing our way I hear a quiet *thud**thud* around the corner I turn back to let the others know, but seems Saeko heard it as well. Man her senses are sharp she gives me a nod, so I peek around the corner and see zombies trying to get into a workshop class if I remember right. (OH? Seems Kouta went there even without Saya NICE!)
I rush to the pile of zombies and swing like I'm trying to send a ball out of the park, and with my massive B-Sword lets just say. "It Was Super Effective" As I kill about 6 and shove the other 10 or so to the side. Saeko slips by me to kill another 2 in a flash with Rei killing another with a thrust.
I quickly say "back" to which the 2 get behind me they are confused but will do it. Great 'Burning Hands' I spray a jet of fire at the group and back away with Rei, and Saeko following me. Then I cast another 'Burning Hands' to finish them off.
Kyoko; WHAT THE HELL WHAT THAT!?!?!?
Saya: He,a, has an ability to summon fire from a secret government experiment the same one that went wrong and caused all this.
Wow SUPER awesome assist there Saya damn having you is getting better and better, more so since your not all "This great Young Miss blah blah" I walk over to her and in a whisper.
Clay: You ARE so getting a big reward later my love, so think about what you want okay."
She blushes hard and hits my chests and I hear her mumble "Baka" haha so cute. I turn back to the makeshift indoor bonfire, and stop (WAIT!! I can sell ANYTHING I did I just now thing about this I mean Undead parts are used in stuff dark SHIT, but still they have some type of value.) I walk to the burning bodies and (SELL!!)
Kyoko:WHAT!?!?!? but? how?
Clay: I simple got rid of the bodies. I mean if I can control fire it would make sense if I could burn stuff down to ash.
Ha ha Not a lie IF I could control fire like that, that is and would make sense haha good job me. Kyoko just numbly nods I see the others give me a look that screams "REALLY?" yup yup. Enough of that I go to check the room but don't enter or stand in front the door that would be retarded.
Clay: Hey its all clear now who ever is in there you can come out now.
Unknown: Really? A, Okay. Are you sure?
Clay: Yup we are on our way out of here you can join us, but you will have to help fight, and listen.
Unknown: Great! Um give me a min there is some stuff I want to take.
I hear shuffling and what sounds like running. I pull a small hand sized mirror out and use it to peek inside. I was right it is Kouta NICE. I walk inside.
Clay:Yo! Kouta its you glad you made it.
Kouta: Huh? Clayton-San is that you? Its nice to see you made it as well where did you get that sword, and armor???
Clay: Yup its me, also just Clay is fine I've gotten used to it. And the sword, and stuff well its mine. Let me help you out then we can talk.
It takes about 5mins to get everything useful. I also give him a vest so he can hold the nails better, and I give him a knife like Kyoko. After we start walking and clearing our way to the front. While doing so we talk Rei tell the CS{cover story} and we find out how he got to the workshop.
And OH BOY! so co*k-a-she came bursting in like the OG but Rei wasn't there, but he's-a-she still ended up following him out, then crap happened and Kouta couldn't get out so he hide behind his deck for a while trying to think of something then thought of a nail gun and went to the shop where we met up.
Saeko comes up to me and grabs my arm. and whispers
Saeko: I can see them they are on the pathway out side if you go to the left and look up you will see them.
At first I'm confused about who she is talking about then I understand and give her a small nod. I walk over and look up. Yup there they are it seems without Rei there to snap he's-a-she out of his daze they both ended up getting bite and attracting more and died there, as the walkway is filled with zombies but if you look for them you can see them near one of the sides.
I walk over to Rei and give Saeko a nod she seems to understand and takes Rei's place as I pull her back towards Saya.
Rei: Hey? What's wrong?
Clay: We need to talk real quick.
Rei; Um Okay.
Saya: What is it?
I then explain about what I saw and what I think happened to them. They both start to cry so all I can do is hold them to give them some comfort. As its totally understandable even if they love me, and are my wives Tikashi was still their first love, and childhood friend. Of course they would be saddened if he died. Well at least if he died THIS soon.
It takes a while but they do clam down, but are still really sad , and shocked. But they are able to keep up as they know now isn't the time or place for anymore. We make our way to the front, and didn't come across the 2nd whatever group of students. We take a short break at the doors to take a breather I can see Saeko struggling to not JUMP me like she is a bull, and I'm covered in red.
Clay: We are almost there my love just a bit more that I will happily help you.
Saeko: *pant* I *pant* know *pant*I'm *pant* trying *pant*
I can see Kouta, and Kyoko want to ask, but are holding themselves from speaking. After a few mins of resting we all get ready. And open the doors I turn back and say.
Clay: I have a plan wait here for a bit.
I grin as I take out some Fireworks and light them then throw them outside into 2 different sides of the path to the gate from where we are. Then I have the others close the doors and we wait. After the 2 seem to be almost done I light another 2 and throw them in the same spots then wait again.
With doing that twice most of all the zombies are gathered in to huge groups with only a few stragglier. I rush to the right group and cast 'Burning Hands' then run to the side around the group and keep casting the same spell one after another. Once I've made a full circle while dodging random grabs here at there I run to the left group and do the same. It took 13 casts to do a full circle of one group.
After the 2nd group I run back to the others and fall to one knee after I'm inside as that was 260 of my MP all at once so it was REALLY tiring.
Shizuka: Clay are you okay?
Clay: *pant* Yeah *pant* just *pant* need *pant* a min *pant* to catch *pant* my breath.
While doing so I check to see I have hit lvl 8 now. He-he nice with asking Sage it seems its I need 5xlvl to hit the next lvl {5,10,15,20,25.. etc..} so that means I have killed at least 140 so far but I won't know for sure until later even then maybe not as Sage can only see what I see, and I can't really see the ones the caught fire but left the groups. I don't even know if they count either.
It seem at least for now I get 5MP, and a rank in sense.... Well until it hit Rare since then it only went up to rank-2.... Well the skill just helps me feel the Mana/ Spells "flow" better when it hit Rare, though it seems to help my Mana "flow" a bit faster IE- slightly faster cast time. Its the difference of 5 ish secs, and 4.5 ish secs not much but hey faster is faster.
