Chapter 77 - Saeko: That's Sword Energy!?
"Sword energy?"
Saeko had, of course, heard of this kind of thing.
However, sword energy was something people imagined.
In reality, it simply could not exist.
Saeko, who had been practicing Kendo since childhood, understood this better than anyone.
The so-called sword energy was just an illusion.
At most, swinging the sword would drive the air and cause a certain wind pressure.
If this thing was sword energy...
However, this kind of wind pressure was like a gentle breeze, so what damage could it cause?
The answer was none.
Saeko was puzzled that Mahiro would mention such a whimsical thing during a crisis like this.
"I'll deal with the monsters below."
"As for those that climbed the stairs, I'll leave them to you."
Saeko was about to speak, but Mahiro didn't give her a chance.
He ran from the floor and leaped down.
"Hey!"
Saeko was startled.
This was the first floor.
Even if she jumped like this and used her posture to cushion her fall, she couldn't withstand it.
However, Mahiro landed smoothly without any damage in her line of sight.
"No wonder!?"
Saeko laughed.
Being able to fall from the floor unharmed, it was no wonder that he could kill so many of those monsters.
However, the next moment, Saeko's eyes widened.
"What is that?"
Saeko's lips were slightly parted, one hand tightly holding the door, and both eyes fixed on Mahiro, uttering a few words with difficulty.
In her sight, Mahiro rushed into the zombie horde.
The sword in his hand drew a slight arc.
Then, a clear light emerged from the sword.
The light separated from its blade and turned into a similar arc.
It was this light that shocked Saeko.
"Sword energy... really exists..."
Saeko's throat felt dry as she gazed at Mahiro's figure and murmured.
How similar was that mysterious light to those described in movies, novels, and anime?
No matter how intellectually calm Saeko was, she never imagined that she would one day see things that existed in fantasy.
The light cut through the zombies before him into pieces without hindrance.
Mahiro stood there, swinging the sword and swinging it again.
Repeating the same action.
It was just an effortless movement that even beginners in Kendo could do.
However, the sword lights that accompanied the movements seemed mysterious.
"No wonder..."
Saeko smiled dumbly.
Mahiro really could kill all the zombies.
At this speed, all the monsters in the entire Fujimi Academy could be dealt with.
"Who are you?"
Saeko murmured to herself.
She had never heard of such a person, such a powerful swordsman.
Was she too ignorant?
"Grrr!"
Suddenly, the roar of zombies came from behind her.
Saeko turned her eyes away from Mahiro.
A zombie had already climbed up the stairs and was stumbling towards her.
"Everyone, prepare to kill."
Saeko clenched the wooden sword and shouted into the faculty room.
The survivors inside were already prepared.
After Saeko's order, they all rushed out of the room.
"Wow, he's so amazing!"
Shizuka is the one with the least stress in the group.
She was also the first to walk out.
After leaving the faculty room, she approached Saeko and saw the scene below.
Mahiro was killing those zombies.
The scene was a treat to watch.
The school nurse was not shocked like Saeko but thought Mahiro was so powerful that he could deal with so many zombies alone.
"Hey, what is this?"
Saya looked at the scene below in shock.
Mahiro's sword emitted a light with one swing after another.
This scene was truly shocking.
"Now is not the time to explore this. Our task is to kill those zombies on the stairs."
Saeko remained calm as she swung the sword, striking a zombie's head.
"Mahiro has already blocked the zombie horde for us, but if we can't deal with these zombies, we will be ashamed of his trust."
"Let me help!"
Rei was the first to react.
She was a member of the sojutsu club and ranked in the top three among the group.
She rushed up to cover Saeko to prevent being attacked by those irrational monsters.
"Follow up and protect Marikawa-sensei."
Saeko said to Okada.
For the current society, doctors are a rare resource and absolutely cannot be lost.
"The two of us will lead the way."
Saeko and Rei walked side by side.
One blocked the zombies to prevent them from getting close, while the other gave them fatal blows with sharp strikes.
Their cooperation was quite tacit.
There were nearly 20 zombies who climbed the stairs, but with the tacit cooperation of the two, they were quickly dealt with.
Since Mahiro blocked the zombie horde, no more zombies rushed up the stairs.
Therefore, Saeko and the group of survivors came down without a hitch.
"Are you all here?"
"Okay, I'll lead the way."
"Saya, come to my side and guide me."
"Our destination is the Kendo Club."
