Chapter 9

Several of Yamamoto Sensei's judo club people had all formed teams and started rushing the make shift log ladders by the window. They'd formed groups faster because they already had bonds with each other and been training. There was a big trampling of feet as a whole slew of people were getting ready to go over there.

Other people wanted to join them.

But I knew what they were doing wouldn't work. Instead we needed to buy time while we figured out what was happening to us. We didn't yet understand the rules of this place.

"Go! Go! Go!" We heard them yell as about fifty students ran to the huge window sills that lined that whole wall. It was a really bad situation. That wall of windows was too big for even that many people to effectively cover. I could hear the panic and strain in their voices as they were hustling to hang onto every piece of ground that we had. And they were also running into each other and trying not to trip over each other.

We had to stay watching the pig-men at the barricade in front of us though so they didn't take advantage of the openings created by the split defense. So we couldn't take our eyes of the battle in front of us while we heard students screaming for help behind us.

Those pigmen... to think monsters really exist?!

"The logs are so heavy!"

"Hurry!"

"Oh shit! They are coming up the log ramps!" someone screamed. The others are screaming in horror too.

"What? I didn't know they could place logs as ramps!" someone cried.

But that's what the pigmen were doing.

"No! I want to see my mom again!"

"Pigfokkers must die!" This fellow sounded especially psychotic. He tried to rally a combat war cry but it didn't gain as many supporters as he thought it would.

"I-I can't budge it! Help me push the logs!" This voice was full of despair.

"Hurry!"

The idea of pushing the logs away from the roof to fall did have merit though. And people tried to help but the logs were heavy.

"We need more people! Each log needs like five people to push out the window hurry!" someone said, while straining so hard at pushing that their voice was affected.

There was a tumult of all kinds of shouting behind us as Akira and I hacked at three orcs that were trying to climb down the barricade towards us. The first spear hit went in one of their arm, so he couldn't try to parry us or strike at us. Then as he squealed in pain I jumped as high as I could to chop deep into its smelly round shoulders.

"Wait a minute. These pigmen are bigger somehow than the earlier ones," Yumi complained, with her eyebrows in a furious look as she stared at them.

"Eh? Are you sure?" Akira said.

"I think she's right."

"Be careful!" Asakura behind us said.
