Elemental School

Chapter 4 - Irregular.

She evaded back from the minion's smash, as it impacts into the ground. It lifts its heavy arms again, and swing his arm horizontal like they were noodles. Haruko was hit from that and smash into the ground, sliding back. I can't stand to watch this.. I try to push myself up, but I feel heavily weak. Must be the infection, still. I watch her stand up slowly, as I can see her hair covering her face, almost. But I can still see those red eyes.. She glare at me, as I felt energy hitting at my face. Can't tell if that was her beauty or power. I look at the minion, as it finally stopped swinging its heavy muscular arms. I mumble as I look at that minion, finally getting control of itself. I slowly put my feet flat on the ground, as I try to push up and stand up. I was making slow progress but I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, as they prevent me to get up. I turn and look over my shoulder, as I see Haruko. She was looking at me, as she had a shady face. Why are you trying to act shady at me and trying to prevent me from getting up? She stood in front of me, as she put her hand in front of her, revealing her palm. I can see her absorbing nearby energy of Darkness, as it forms into a sphere shape at her hand. She punch the floating orb as a beam of pitch black instantly appears from the orb, as it dashes at the minion that was fast as the speed of light. It impacts and created a huge hole on the minion's torso, as the minion grunts like an orc. She's strong... How did she.. I- Wait. I look through the minion's hole that lives in his torso, as I see a man with a red trench coat, with white clothing underneath that comes with a black tie. A Vanguard uniform. The man had medium black hair, that is perhaps 10 cm longer than mine, with his Iris that is blue like water. I seen him before. He's the 3rd best sword men in my class. I can see he had his sword on his hip, as it was sheathe in a black case, just like mine. I remember who that is...

That's Kyzou. His element is lighting and wind and is only half Japanese. He is a half immortal, because he is half Austrian. What I know is that he is a serious type of guy, which is kinda annoying, but only most of the time. I remember he trys to be funny when it comes to humour jokes at class. But what's up with me and him is that we are almost rivals when it comes to sword dueling. We never beated each other, because it would also end up as a tie because of a time limit. His ratio of losing would be from 5:3. Three, I tell you. Mine is 4.. 6:4. We had teachers to measure them, and apparently, there's no difference. Yet, what's scary is that no one know his immortal self. Which perhaps means he's shy. Heh. I stood up as I watch the minion collapse and fall onto its spine, as me and Haruko had a clear vision with Kyzou. I can see him glaring at us, gripping onto his sword. His blade was pure white, but was dripping with black blood and smoke. He walk towards us, as he stood in front of the minion's head. "What is this.." He spoke. He had a medium tone of voice, as it wasn't high pitched or low pitched. I sigh, as I put my sword on my shoulder, as the blade was on my shoulder, and against my neck. "I wonder that as well." Wait, does Haruko know this? I glare at her, as she was still in her power form. She was leaning on a pillar wall, as she stares out at the window. That side of her must be wondering what's going on here and why she's here. I would explain later.. Kyzou looks up at me, as he examines me, noticing I have the Vanguard uniform as well. "Your a vanguard?"

"Yeah."

"So it's you, me and 3 other people."

I nod, confirming myself. I hear him mumble to himself, but he looks at me, but glaring at Haruko. "Who's that, then?" I glare behind me, as I see Haruko, still leaning on the pillar, with her hands in her pockets. But she was looking at us, now. "None of your business.. I'm just a 3rd year." The other side of her was right. She is shady and cold... I can hear Kyzou making some 'pfft' noise, as he didn't look amused to Haruko. "The other vanguards told us our plan, which was to evacuate all students into the field and then eliminate the minions." To be honest, I don't see how this is P.E to the other students. Perhaps practicing how to work as a class and stay in a line. Heh, that's good training for Daiki. I can hear Haruko chuckle. "Well I didn't know that. I'm a new student, correct? Can't say you could blame me." Kyzou, sigh. He glare at his watch. "We gotta go. Did you check these classrooms?" I shook my head. "We were too busy with this minion. It's a irregular one." I can hear a small gasp from Kyzou. "Irregular? Did the cloning machine malfunctioned?" I only shrug. "Perhaps, but let's not focus about that, now. We should check the classrooms." I watch him leave us, as he went to enter the first classroom nearby. I turn around, seeing Haruko walking pass me, with her shoulder brushing off mine. I put my hand on her shoulder, but I didn't bother to face towards her. "Do you know how these things came in here?" I glare at her, but I notice something odd. Her eyes, widen as she looked away from me. Is she.. Afraid? I hear Kyzou, screaming. "HEY." I turn around, dashing into the classroom. I slid the door open, as I see Kyzou, standing in front of someone? I hear the door close behind us, so it perhaps it was Haruko, but I felt hear breath, behind me.. Behind my neck.. That feels too close.. I decide to ignore it, and look over Kyzou shoulder, as a girl with dark brown hair, that goes up to her waist, was sitting behind tables, as a barricade. Her eyes were black, as I can see our own self. Her eyes looked so calm. I stood in front of Kyzou, as I motion him to stand guard at the door. I want to talk to her alone. I kneel down in front of her, in front of barricade. "Who are you?" I can see her shiver a bit, but she shook her head, saying no to fear. "Zailura. I'm a 2nd year student here." Zailura, right? That  name I heard before. Perhaps from those gossips and whispers about her, of her being an orphan or being shy. I'm sure she has friends, though. "What elements do you use?" She lifts her head towards me, looking at me now. "Liquid. Water and Ice." A water user. Those are disadvantages for me since i'm a fire user. I put my hand in front of her, gesturing a handshake. "Name Katsu, and we are going to help you get out of here."
