I didn't need to think of anything else. My body operated on autopilot I immediately approached the bug and ripped out the stake from its neck. I was about to storm out the door when a slight glint shone into my eyes.
Turning back to look at the wasp's corpse, its sharp and deadly stinger glistened in the light. At that moment an idea flashed in my head causing a small smile to play on my lips.
Several moments later I walked out of the infirmary with a shiny black pike in my hand. This was none other than the black wasp's stinger.
"Follow my lead. I'll clear all threats ahead" I said as I dashed forward making full use of my 33 agility points as I stormed through the school corridor, heading in the western direction where Ms. Camille's screams were coming from.
…
Lydia's face showed an incredulous expression once again as she saw Huey's blazing speed. Since when was he this fast? And since when did he have such confidence to say such words.
Lydia sighed as much as she wanted to ask all these questions, she knew that it wasn't the time right now.
…
I barely travelled 10 meters when a human looking figure with blank eyes came into view. Of course I immediately recognized it as a ravid but unlike before, I felt no fear whatsoever. I simply stroked with my sharp pike as I passed by the creature.
It didn't even register what had happened before its head fell off its shoulders
[You have acquired the soul essence of a level 1 ravid]
I didn't bother paying any attention to the notification as I simply focused on locating Ms. Camille my body zooming through the corridors at ghostly speeds.
…
Ms. Camille didn't know what had happened. Just like everyone else, she too had experienced the mana fluctuations that had knocked into her as well.
The last thing she remembered was heading to the ladies bathrooms but before she could get into one of the bathroom stalls. Then the force from the mana knocked her out and she fell to the floor. Minutes later she wakes up only to find the power off, she stepped out of the bathroom only to be met with what looked like people with dead blank eyes. These were of course ravids.
There were three of them, one looked male and two female looking. The moment the three ravids sense her presence, they turned around and growled like hungry beasts.
Ms. Camille felt her hairs stand on end as a chill ran down her spine. Before she knew it the ravids quickly scrambled towards her their movement wasn't as fast as Billy ravid but they weren't totally slow either.
Ms. Camille panicked. Her instincts telling her to get away. As far as possible.
She hurriedly retreated back into the bathroom. With a bang she shut the door before retreating further into the bathroom. She breathed hurriedly, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she looked around for something, anything that could help her.
The sound of the door being hit repeatedly made her heart jump. It was obvious that the one attacking the door were the three ravids.
Ms. Camille's train of thought was knocked off its rails and horror and fear clouded her features. The door that was her last protection threatened to fall off its hinges.
She looked around the bathroom once more. It was a fairly wide room with a five toilet stalls, a rather long sink with an equally long mirror in front of it. A steel dust bin lay just beside the sink. Her gaze immediately fell on the bin. She rushed over and immediately spilled its contents which were just some used tissue paper and several lengths of hair.
She held the dust bin in front of her and steeled her nerves. As pitiful as she looked at the moment, what else could she possibly do?
The door finally couldn't take any more assaults from the three ravids and it immediately burst off its hinges with a low explosion. The three ravids immediately stepping into the room.
They wasted no time as they approached Ms. Camille.
Those blank eyes, those low growls, those salivating mouths
Ms. Camille's legs couldn't help but wobble. She truly was scared but then again what would you expect from someone who had only studied medicine and had never in her life ever had to fight anybody. The first ravid clawed out for her but she immediately reacted. Swinging the dust bin hard. Her adrenaline pumping through her veins.
The blow landed, knocking the ravid slightly but soon the other two took its place and barely being able to maintain control over the momentum of her swing. Her knees gave out and she fell back on her butt. A low shout escaped her lips as one of the ravids made a sharp cut in her leg with its claw-like hands.
The other ravid pounced on top of her. Ms. Camille was pinned to the ground, the ravids had some insane grip strength!
Her eyes widened when she saw the ravid on top of her aiming to bite into her shoulder. Her heart beat loudly against her chest.
'No, no, no!' was the only thought going through her panicked mind. She struggled with all her might as she tried to move her body. She was desperate, she wanted to live, she didn't want to die like this.
Her grandma was currently sick and waiting for her at home, if she died then she would die too.
This further pushed her resolve, this wouldn't be her deathbed. She refused to go out like this. Her fighting spirit ignited within her and she unconsciously opened her mouth. She felt a swirling energy flowing towards her vocal chords. Visible lines appeared around her neck and her chest rose highly before it fell and with it air was pushed towards her throat.
A loud scream rushed out of her mouth…no it was a high pitched screech that escaped flowed in erratic waves at first before they finally found a rhythm. The pitch rose and the ravid that was about to take a magnanimous bite froze before it was assaulted by the constant stream of sonic waves.
The ravid held out for only 2 seconds before its head exploded in like a water balloon, spraying blood and brain matter everywhere. The sonic attack didn't end there though, it travelled before arriving before the second ravid at her feet. This time though, it was only sent flying ten meters away.
Ms. Camille's face was now as white as a sheet, she felt dizzy for a moment due to the abrupt attack that depleted her newly founded mana reserves. A bright white orb escaped from the headless ravid before it entered her chest. Almost immediately she felt whatever energy she had exhausted replenish and her body grew slightly stronger.
She was puzzled and her mind drifted into a daze. The first ravid that was still healthy and had not been affected by her sonic howl stood and was about to charge at her once more but before it could a strong gale of hit of wind whistled before a follow up crack resounded.
The ravid's neck twisted violently as it slumped to the ground limply. In its place stood Huey Coleman who looked at Ms. Camille with a calm gaze.
In her shook, Ms. Camille looked behind him only to see the corpse of the ravid that had been blown away laying limply against the wall of the corridor with what looked like a spike stabbed in its skull.
…
I had travelled for less than 10 seconds however up ahead I heard what I could only call a sonic howl and to my bewilderment, a ravid was sent flying right into the wall of the corridor. Curious, I increased my pace.
When I arrived before the ravid, I discovered that it was still moving and in one swift motion I impaled its skull with the wasp's stinger before turning my head into the bathroom. Within 3 seconds I analyzed the entire situation. I was shocked by the increase in my mental capacity but that was an issue for another time. There was a headless corpse on the ground and a ravid that was approaching someone.
Without thinking too much, my body blurred as I appeared behind the ravid and with a single arm, I grabbed its neck from behind before giving it a violent twist snapping its neck with no effort whatsoever. A familiar message flashed within my retina but this time I hadn't levelled up again but that was to be expected, after all for every level up the amount of experience needed to be gained for the next level also increases and in this case said experience was the soul essence of the defeated existences.
As the ravid fell to the ground Ms. Camille figure replaced it in my vision which I had to admit was a pleasant surprise.
"You alright?" I said to which she just nodded in a daze. "Good lets get out of here" I gave her my hand to which she took with trembling arms before I helped her step over the corpse and out the bathroom.
We walked back towards the direction of the infirmary after I retrieved the stinger of course. As we walked I gave her a brief overview of what I knew so far which honestly wasn't much but I didn't reveal the fact that I had the Spirit Record system as I didn't know how that would implicate me.
But just as that thought enter my head another rather unpleasant surprise filled my retina
[You privileged trial is now concluded]
"What?" I couldn't help but exclaim but just then a surprised yell came from Ms. Camille's lips
"What is this?" she asked pointing at thin air. I gave her a confused stare for a moment before my mind flashed.
'Wait it can't be…'
[The Spirit Record has officially made its presence known]
[All creatures can now look at their stats]
As I read the new messages a single thought entered my head
'What the hell?!'
