"Freezing Touch!" In an instant the Goblin right in front of our path was completely frozen from a single touch from Masayoshi..
"Now, Genji!" Masayoshi signaled to me. This is my time to use my training to use!
"Hah!" I used my right leg to roundhouse kicked the frozen Goblin with my full power and it completely shattered..!
"That works!" Masayoshi said with a brighter expression.
"Let's go! There's no time to celebrate!" I said to Masayoshi while running past him towards the Goblin that was guarding the door.. the exit..!
"Haaa!" I charged in without any hesitation. Of course the Goblin didn't just sit still and watched me.
"Graahh!" The Goblin started to swing his sword vertically with an awful technique.. but monsters are monsters and they are more powerful than we are..
"Watch out, Genji!" I could hear Masayoshi shouting at me from behind but I paid it no mind and only smiled confidently.
"Graahhh!" I calmly stopped just right infront of his attacking range.
"Graahh..?" The Goblin looked confused on why his attack didn't connect but I am just staring at him but before he could even react..
"Hah!" I just punched his face as hard as I could making it stepped back startled.
'Ow! They are very hard..!' But that punch literally almost break my own knuckle. They have rather strong muscles and bones but rather low intelligence..
"Now! Freezing Touch..!" Then just like before, the Goblin froze in an instant without even giving it time to retaliate.
"Are you alright, Genji?" I could see Masayoshi beside me. He seemed to be rather exhausted but there is no time to rest.. there are still two more Goblins inside here and they are fighting the other students who are just panicking.
There are actually a lot more screaming that I actually thought but I just subconsciously blocked them out.. because well.. they are annoying..!
"Should we help them, Genji..?" Masayoshi asked me with a concerned face. He seemed to care about the others..
"*sigh*.. Tsk, let's go..!" I said before I just dashed forward towards them..
"Thank you.." I could hear Masayoshi muttered silently.

"Move!" Genji shouted to the other student. They reacted quickly and moved out of the way.
*BRAK!*
Right after that, a table flew in front of their face hitting the Goblin right on his back which made it fell face first onto the ground.
"Now, Masayoshi!" Genji signaled towards Masayoshi which he immediately understood..
"Freezing Touch! *Huft* *Huft*" Instantly the Goblin froze then continued by an axe kick from Genji which immediately shattered the frozen Goblin.
"W-What?!"
"Who is he..?!"
"Ma-Masayoshi?!"
"Tsk, bunch of freaks! You guys are going to just stand there pissing your pants or what..?! Run you dipshits! Run!!" Genji shouted at them with his full voice which caused them to be startled and took his advice to the fullest and ran away as fast as possible.
"Kyaa!! Help! Anyone!"
"Help us..!"
"No..! Noo!!"
"One more, Genji!" Genji immediately looked towards the direction of the screamings and immediately got ready to fight once again.
"Masayoshi!" Genji signaled towards Masayoshi and he immediately followed Genji right behind him.
"Grah..!" The Goblin noticed Genji and attacked him with a swing of it's sword.
*SWING* *SLASH*
"Tsk..!" Genji barely dodged it's attack by a hair length with a step side. But the Goblin didn't just stop there. Instead it suddenly swings it's sword upwards in an arc which Genji couldn't dodge.
*SLASH*
"Tsk, damn it..!" But luckily the Goblin was almost out of range from Genji and only grazed his face barely missing his left eye. Luckily Masayoshi also stopped when he saw the Goblin's attack.
"Genji, are you okay?!" Masayoshi looked worried about Genji but Genji also gave Masayoshi the signal to attack and they both dashed forward at the same time.
"Freezing Touch..!!" "Haa!" Just as Masayoshi was about to touch the Goblin, Genji also threw a punch which landed the same time as Masayoshi's Freezing Touch.
*CRACK*.. *SHATTER!*
And with that, the last Goblin was defeated by both Genji and Masayoshi alone.
.

" *Huft* *Huft*.. Tsk, Masayoshi are you okay?" I looked at Masayoshi who was completely exhausted already. It seems like their abilities used quite a lot of stamina to use.
"I..* Huft* Am.. *Huft* Fine..!" He said while trying to catch his breath.
"Are all of you fine?" I then looked back at our classmates that we rescued. The last classmates had already ran away leaving only us here in this room.
"We are fine!" One of our classmate here said. He seemed to be really glad that we decided to help them. After all, no one really wants to die here..
"Thank you, for saving us.." Another one of our classmates thanked us. I paid it no heed as I only nodded to her thanks.
"What about you both..?" The last of our classmates here asked us. But my focus were takes elsewhere rather than them.
"We're fine, more importantly.. we need to find a way to escape this place.." I said to them with a grim expression on my face.
"E-Escape?! What do you mean?!" Another classmate said with a fearful expression on her face.
"Tsk, look" I pointed to the outside from the window.
"'W-What?!"' The three of them exclaimed with shock on their faces..
"Is it that bad, Genji..?" I heard the voice of Masayoshi who was currently sitting down on the floor resting asking me..
"..." I couldn't answer him as I only stared to the outside world.
The sky was dyed red.. the sun that usually shined very brightly was covered by a huge object casting it's shadow upon the world. Everything was in chaos. Buildings are burning, explosions could be seen, and corpses could also be spotted..
"Tch..! This is.. bad, isn't it..?" Genji said with a complicated expression after he himself saw the condition outside.
"There will not be a lot of survivors of this calamity it seems.." Masayoshi said with a grim tone.
I could not refute his words.. even now there are only 5 of us excluding the other 3 that already ran away. Even the first part of the chaos had already reduced our numbers from 36 to 14.. and now it had reduced more to only 8..
The three classmates that are beside us could only stood still gazing out from the window probably contemplating their whole life..
"Tsk, so what are you guys going to do now..?" I asked the three of them.
"I-It should be better for us to stick together, G-Genji-san!" One of our classmates said. She is one of the timid students in our class, she is Hatsumi Keiko. She is one of the top students of the class, she is said to have aced the college entrance exam when she was around 14 years old. A genius comparable to Shihori.
"Hatsumi-san is right.. it might be better for us to stay together..!" Another one of our classmates spoke up. She is Tori Katsutaka, she excels in terms of Archery. She is one of the best member of the Archery club in the school that they had ever seen. She is surprisingly quiet but her gaze is overwhelmingly observant.
"We should try to gather more information about other survivors" The last one said. He is Fuuji Tanosuke, I don't actually have a lot of information about him at all. He is one of the quiet kids inside of the class. But he is not a gloomy one.. it's more of like he is bad at communicating a lot.
"I doubt there's a lot of survivors in the school though.." He muttered lowly but I was able to catch what he was saying to a certain extent.
"Well, we would not know until we try..!" Masayoshi said with a wry smile on his face. Even on times like this, he is still very much keeping up his going happy persona.
".. Well, I do not mind about us teaming up" I said while facing their way now.
"But let's formally introduce ourselves and our abilities" I said to them.
'Well it's not like I have any ability..' I thought silently in my mind.
"Well, let's start from me. My name is Endo Masayoshi, as you can see everyone calls me Masayoshi. My ability is Freezing Touch, as it sounds I could freeze things from a single touch" Masayoshi started the introduction while demonstrating his ability.
"I am next then.. my name is Tori Katsutaka. People called me Tori but feel free to call me whatever you want. My ability is called Sharpshot.. I still do not really know how it works. But I would be thankful if we could go to the Archery club room to grab me a weapon.." The next one to introduce themself is Tori-san. By the sound of it, her skill probably compliments her extraordinary skill in Archery..
"Then I am next, my name is Fuuji Tanosuke. Call me whatever you want. My ability is Trap Master, with my ability I could make different kinds of traps by just drawing a set of runes." The next is Fuuji-san.. and his ability is quite extraordinary.. It could be used in a lot of situation.. especially this one.
"Wait, how can you know about the runes that you used?" Masayoshi asked Fuuji-san about the runes.
"Well just like you, the knowledge is immediately implanted in my mind.. probably by the damned God.." Fuuji-san said with an extra toxicity at the end of his sentence. He seemed to really hate God.. I mean who would not at this point..?
Masayoshi only nodded silently and looked towards our last classmate excluding me.
"M-My name is Ha-Hatsumi Keiko..! People call me Hatsumi, m-my ability is High Speed Deciphering..! W-with this ability I could think a-around 3x faster than normal..!" The last of our classmate, Hatsumi-san. Her ability.. she is quite useful in terms of planning and tactical positioning. She is probably a good back support..
After everyone had already introduced themselves, they all had unknowingly stared at me hoping for my own introduction..
"Tsk, okay! okay! Don't look at me with that eye!" I clicked my tongue a little annoyed at their hopeful gazes..
"My name is Michikatsu Genji, call me Genji only. My ability is.. none" I said to them. They all immediately had a look of shocked on their faces excluding Masayoshi..
"W-What?! You don't have any a-ability, Genji-san..?" Hatsumi-san was the first one to ask about it.
"I don't actually have any ability.. I am speaking the truth." I said to her calmly.
"So, how can you defeat those goblins with ease.. Genji-san?" Tori-san was next to raise her question.
"Physical Strength. That's what I can only say. I had trained a lot before this happened and my physical strength is all above average" I said as I demonstrated my strength by grabbing the leg of a chair then just gripped it as strong as possible..
*CREAK..!*
The leg of the chair that was made by quite a strong metal.. was completely bent.
"See..?" I showed it to them who looked at it like I was a complete maniac.
"He was always like this. Genji's strength had always been completely abnormal.." Masayoshi said with a sigh of exhaustion.
"I- I see.." Even Tori-san was shocked, huh? I mean I am not that abnormally strong..
*POP UP*
"Then.. can't you see the blue panel in front of us that showed us our status..?" Fuuji-san asked me.. but I was completely ignoring him.. well why..?
"Oh, I can definitely see this one..!" I said as instinctively my body started sweating excessively from stress..
"What do you mean- What?!" Seems like they had only seen it as well..
