"That infected girl, she was only 13 years old, I think she was from my class now that I remember her face, a very quiet and shy girl, thin and petite, she didn't seem like the kind of girl who could even hurt a fly..."
He didn't even know her name, but it also bothered him a little, especially the times she stared at him with those white eyes, and was always hiding in the corners of the hallways.
¿Hyooga Hirana?
No
Hyuuga Hinata? Yes, if she remembered correctly that was her name.
Although it didn't matter now, she was crushed by the bus, he doubted that with her head crushed like a watermelon thrown from the third floor it would come looking for him again.
"Was your transformation that you underwent different from others?"
Takashi's question that many tensed, that sounded like bad news, the teenagers and teachers were afraid to think how different this transformation was.
Naruto stared at the ground seriously, "She had the strength of an adult in good physical condition, and the speed of a damn professional runner, she was faster than me, even when she was fleeing on a bicycle she caught up with me."
"That's... bad," Kohta muttered, apparently his pleas for these Zombies to look like the cheesier versions of the movies he'd seen turned out to be much worse, "Are we talking about something like 'I Am Legend'?"
"..." chuckling at the comparison Naruto shook his head, "If they were one of those I would be dead, no, the horde was made up of these Zombies that are fast and strong as well as not feeling pain because they were already dead, but that girl... I had enough Intelligence to know that hitting my Bokken's limbs was something I had to avoid to be more efficient"
"You say he still had a conscience?" Saya asked, upset at the idea of these infected being able to maintain consciousness and intelligence after death.
"No, she still looked like a rabid animal that wanted to bite my throat out" with a sigh Naruto squeezed the bridge of his nose, he felt more and more tired, "Luckily Shizuka-sensei crushed her head and finally "she stayed dead"
"If there is one like her... it means there may be more" everyone turned to look at Saya, who was biting her thumb in an attempt to control her nerves, "Of the almost a thousand people we were at the academy, there was only one of these 'Higher', meaning that of the possible millions that there are now infected in the country, there may be thousands of them on the streets."
The girl's theory was a splash of cold water for everyone.
"So it seems," supporting the theory, Naruto rubbed his head in frustration, "Maybe only Senpai would have been skilled and quick enough to take her on and break her skull, or in Kohta's case, shoot her in the head, whatever." Whatever, I think if more of them appear, just a headshot will be enough to finish them off, avoiding the risk of a hand-to-hand fight in which we will lose."
"That will be complicated," Kohta said, still holding his improvised weapon, which already had little gas and nails left.
If you wanted to buy a gun in Japan you needed a lot of patience.
You must attend entire days of classes, pass an exam and pass a test at a shooting range with more than 95% correct answers.
You also have to undergo mental health and drug use tests.
Likewise, the authorities review your criminal history and the police look for possible links to extremist groups.
Then they investigate your family members, even your co-workers.
And in addition to having the power to deny gun licenses, the police also have the license to search and seize them.
But that is not all.
Hand weapons are completely prohibited. Only shotguns and air rifles are allowed in Japan. And even so, there are rare cases in which caregivers decide to buy them, for fear of being frowned upon by those closest to them.
In the same way, the law places a limit on the number of weapons stores that can exist in the country.
Thus, in most of Japan's 40 prefectures there are no more than three, and in them you can only buy new cartridges if you return the ones you bought previously.
Shopkeepers must inform the police where they store weapons and ammunition, which must be separated and locked.
And once a year the agents inspect the weapons.
Furthermore, three years after obtaining it, the weapons license expires, so you have to undergo the tests again and pass the exams again.
Japanese police officers rarely use guns.
All of this explains why mass shootings are extremely rare in Japan.
And when mass murders occur, the attacker usually uses a knife.
The current gun control law went into effect in 1958, but the idea behind that policy dates back centuries.
Even when weapons began to arrive in the country, Japan already had strict legislation on the matter.
Citizens were previously rewarded if they turned in their guns, a policy Overton describes as 'probably the first gun buyback initiative' in history.
The result of all this is a very low rate of gun ownership.
In 2007 there were 0.6 guns per 100 inhabitants in Japan, while in . there were 88.8 per 100 inhabitants, according to the Small Arms Survey, an independent organization that monitors gun ownership in the world.
Japanese police rarely use guns and emphasize martial arts.
