"It's too bad."
Everywhere you go you hear people talking about the incident.
"I've heard that an official reward has been issued, and all those who provide clues will receive a hefty reward, up to one million dollars!"
"Wow, so won't I be rich if I find out something!"
"Wake up, it's your turn to do the scene survey?"
They probably think, in the back of their minds, that that kind of thing is so far away that they can talk about it so easily.
No one knows that the murderer, who is vicious to the core, is hiding right next to them...
"Good morning, Olivia-senpai!"
A girl who admired her in the classroom hallway came up fast from behind.
Olivia's body stiffened, her muscles quivering slightly as if she was holding back something.
Taking a deep breath, she responded in a very cold tone.
"Morning."
The girl didn't care at all as she walked up to her.
"Have you heard the news outside, senior sister, there was a murderer in the city last night, it's so scary oh, how could there be such a sick person in the world."
"Hokage...?"
The girl looked a little strangely at her schoolmate who had stopped in her tracks.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little under the weather and would like to be alone."
"Oh..."
The girl, oblivious to the fact that she had tried her hand at the edge of death, left alone with some small loss.
Olivia turned her head to look out the window, her gaze unmistakably somber.
She couldn't hear what the people below her were saying, but she could see the disgust in their eyes as if they were judging the person behind the incident.
How dare these good-for-nothing commoners tell her what to do?
The palm of his hand holding on the window sill couldn't help but give out, and a piece of the hard concrete wall was broken off hard.
At that moment, a creeping boy came up behind her.
He was holding a bouquet of bright red roses.
"Hi!"
Olivia jerked her head back.
The boy with the bad smile on his face had his expression frozen on the spot.
The bouquet of delicate flowers in his hand wilted at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"I said... Can you guys... Stop popping up behind people all the time."
The completely stunned boy, his teeth chattering, stammered back, "Right... Right... I'm sorry... I..."
"Fuck off and leave me alone!"
"Crack!"
With uncontrollable anger in her heart, Olivia slapped the boy's head askew and his head spun several times around his neck.
Several students passing by were stunned on the spot and sat on their asses.
It took them a while to react to something, crying and crawling outside.
"Murder... Murder!"
Olivia stared blankly at her hands, then at the men crawling prostrate on the ground, and suddenly caught up with them in an arrow step, and one of them stomped off their bodies on the spot.
Killing. Once you start, you can't stop.
The horrifying tragedy left all the students in the corridor staring in disbelief.
"Hahaha--"
Olivia, who had already killed her eyes, suddenly let out a loud laugh.
Years of patience, countless days and nights of remorse and tears, confused life, overwhelmed by the future, all of it, all released in that burst of hissing laughter.
The students, who gradually realized that something was wrong, began to retreat in terror.
"Woo--"
A narrow blade of air thundered down the aisle.
Their bodies froze, solidifying the expressions on their faces as their torsos slowly scattered to the ground.
"Wow..."
The entire corridor was instantly red with blood.
In the end, a girl who had just walked up slowly lowered her head.
The sleeves of his clothes were cut by the qi blade, and a horrifying injury appeared on his shoulder, the wound was deep enough to see the bone, and the blood couldn't stop flowing.
Almost, just a little bit... Her entire arm was about to be chopped off by the windblade.
"You seek death!!!"
"Boom ----"
There was a sudden, earth-shattering bang from the noisy campus.
Everyone was taken aback and froze as they looked back.
Only dazzling flames erupted from the top floor of the science teaching building, and raging, scorching waves of air spread furiously.
Large amounts of burning debris were thrown in all directions toward the campus.
"Look out!"
"Get out of the way!"
Eleazar tilted his head back to look at the school building that was burning up in flames and muttered to himself:
"Flaming Nova?"
"Classmate, get out of the way!"
A couple of boys hiding under the statue yelled at him.
Eleazar watched in silence as the debris flew towards him, seeing it was about to hit him on the side of the head before he lifted his arm in a flash and slapped it away.
The group looked dumbfounded.
"Really?"
"Eleazar."
Lingyin came running from the distance with an anxious face.
She braced herself on her knees for a few breaths and said, a little brokenly, "Fina... It's still on that building... do something... Do something!"
Eleazar froze, and then his head fainted as a panic he had never felt before gripped his heart.
It was transcendent power, high-level fire spells, how could an ordinary person survive?
Lingyin had been so anxious that she was on the verge of crying.
"What to do, do something!"
Eleazar asked in a hoarse voice as he squeezed her shoulder, "What classroom is she in?"
"503, Astronomy and Geography Room!"
Calm down...
Calm down...
Ditch the extraneous thoughts...
Forcing down the violent emotions that welled up in her heart, Eleazar bit her lip and ran towards the accident center with some stumbling steps.
"Run... Run so fast!"
Lingyin manages to run alongside him at first but is soon thrown off and eventually out of sight.
Underneath the burning building, teachers are organizing students to fight the fire.
They dragged the hose from the hydrant and poured splashes of water on it in vain.
A wind-like figure ran past them.
"Hey, stop, you can't go in there!"
The teacher watched in horror as the boy ran headlong into the smoke.
Those who could run out had done so long ago, and for those who were still trapped up there, the hope of rescue had been extremely slim.
Although the fire is burning on the 5th floor, the burning things are constantly sinking to the lower floors, this is just a moment, the fire has fallen to the 3rd floor, see it will not take long to cover the whole building, the smoke rolled up.
Compared to the heat, most people die in fires because of smoke asphyxiation.
Eleazar, who had just walked up to the second floor, was already choking his lungs to the point of exploding.
There was little vision in the smoke, with abandoned debris all over his feet and sparse sparks falling from his head.
The third floor is falling in...
Eleazar gritted his teeth and gave up trying to search this level.
Walking up to the furnace-like third floor, which was already a hot inferno, tongues of searing fire were licking everywhere.
Flames trapped from above were raging, walls crumbling, tables, chairs, books, everything all attached to a horrible crimson color.
The ceilings overhead had all been burned to the iron frame, and you could even see the molten iron juice dripping down.
Not a single person was seen around, not even a body.
Standing on the rickety third floor, with a layer of frost condensing on his body surface, Eleazar looked around blankly, his whole body frozen in place.
And just then, he faintly heard a low sob coming from nearby.
