Zinc's Dark Days

Day 5: Outside?

The group woke up at about 9:13 AM, Blake was still shocked to what happened to Niobe. He thought to himself, "What if there is really a killer inside this room? What if it happens to me too?". Those questions were asked in his mind. While Blake was asking himself, SAN approached Blake, "Come on Blake, it's time for breakfast, Day cooked some eggs, and RICE.", then Blake responded, "Alright.". The group was finally given the chance to eat properly, although they could still see Niobe's dead body. Sir Richard then carried Niobe's body, and put it outside, together with Chelly and Juan Miguel's body, that was just near the washing area and the cabinets for the lunch bags. When Sir Richard laid down Niobe's dead body, he said, "Rest in peace.". Sir Richard came back to the TLE room and continued to eat.

When they were done, Sir Richard called everyone and said, "Alright. Listen to what I'm about to say. It's important. We... Will... Go Outside.", then everyone cut off Sir Richard with, "What? There are a lot of them outside!", then Sir Richard responded, "I know. That's why we will go outside and leave this school with a well - organized plan.", then Blake said, "But how? We would die instantly, if we go out there. Sir Richard responded again, "We don't know who is the killer between all of us, and someone is trying to kill us. But there is also a person who is trying to help us. We don't have any choice. It's either we rot here, or explore the outside. We can go to Jazz's house, which is the nearest house."

Then Sir Richard added again, "But as for now, we should practice and train until we get even more used to our weapons, especially the girls.", then he told everyone to get their weapons, go to the new building, and practice their shooting there. Sir Richard went to the new building gym, and put stands, and on top of those, he put wooden planks, so it would serve as their practice. Everyone followed him, and Sir Richard said, "Alright, let's practice here, and you should be done just before 12:00 NN", then he checked his watch, *10:02*, then he said, "Alright, you guys have about 2 hours, but anyways, I'll come get you anyways, in the meantime, I'll construct and improve the plan.", then he went inside TLE room, where in he constructed a plan that answered questions such as where, who, when, what, and how. He thought of it so much that he didn't realize that it's already 11:23.

*11:23*

He went to the 'training room', and he gathered up everyone. Then Day said, "Sir, but it's not 12:00 yet.", then Sir Richard replied, "I know, I'm just here to teach you basic martial arts.", then he added more, "Alright. All shall listen to me, alright? Follow me. Since this is an important event, we must meditate first.", then Sir Richard sat down on the floor, and told everybody to do what he was doing. Stephanie asked Sir, "Do we have to do an "okay" sign for our hands?", then Sir Richard responded, "No, we don't. We just need to lay down our hands on our legs, facing up, then we will breathe through our nose, then we will breathe out through our mouth. We will meditate for about 2 minutes. We just need to forget about everything, we will forget about our worries."

"Alright, now we will run around the gym, then stretch, alright? It's for our muscles, so it'll get stretched.", Sir Richard said to everyone.

*after they stretch*

"Of course, none of our kicks, strikes, or blocks would be effective if we don't have our stances right. We have shizentai-dachi, zenkutsu-dachi, nekoashi-dachi. Those are the types of stances that we have, but we'll be practicing the shizentai-dachi, which means 'the natural, or walking stance'", Sir Richard said, and he continued to explain, "Your front foot must be pointing forward, while your back foot is at a 45 degree angle pointing behind you, so your feet would be apart at a natural, or walking, width."
