A group of dark shadows began to approach.
"Teacher Yale, it's a pack of rats," Dagan whispered.
Yale and his companions hurried to the window. Sure enough, a swarm of rats was closing in, drawn by the scent of blood.
A pained howl erupted as the unconscious student was awakened by the rats' bites. He screamed in terror as dozens of rats tore into his flesh. Yale, wielding a machete, killed several rats with a single swing. He grabbed one of the rats biting the student and tore it apart with his bare hands.
Dagan and Higuan followed suit, smashing rats with iron rods. After a while, the rats were wiped out, but the student had already died from blood loss, his eyes wide with despair.
At that moment, a violent explosion echoed in the distance. Yale's eyes narrowed.
"Teacher Yale, it's an explosion near the laboratory..."
