Dead Breaker Vol. 1

CH10: High School of The Dead II

"I can't believe him. He's such an idiot!"

The flustered Elysia Hurst mumbled to herself in anger as she stood in front of the main school building. It had been an hour since the school had been on lockdown. Of course Divisions such as Reaping and Black Wing secured the area waiting for the Lunar Division to make their appearance. But that would have been a problem for Elysia because being a scouting officer for the Lunar, she didn't appear to be in the best position right now.

Oh man, oh man!

She rubbed her head, trying not to worry too much, because of the solemn fact that she couldn't stop thinking of how much trouble she's going to be in if Edger Foss, Lieutenant Colonel of the Lunar Division found out that she left Evan Wolf, who ran straight into the school during lockdown, unsupervised.

"It's okay, I only need to relax. Hopefully things will work out. Evan and Alec will be coming out of the school unharmed and I won't get in trouble."

She still continued to mumble trying to calm herself, hoping things will work out for the better, but even at this moment she couldn't prepared for what happened.

"Who are you talking to?" said a voice. It was the voice of the last person she wanted to meet in such a situation. She turned slowly only to find a young man in his mid-twenties with dark brown hair and glaring green eyes.

"C-Colonel Edger?! I didn't expect you to be here so early?"

Edger started yawning, walking besides her while rubbing his head.

"Yeah...well I didn't either. So, what's the status Private Hurst?"

Elysia turned over looking at the school and then started to explain what had happened to a quite attentive Edger.

"Right now, the defensive barriers are still being held up in the main building. We have managed to release the coating on C and B."

"How many casualties?" He said still facing the school.

"Sadly at least forty students became affected and a chemistry room is completely destroyed."

"Chemistry room? Caused by the Wraths?" he shifted his glaring eyes at her concerned ones.

"No, judging from the aftermath it didn't seem like the damage had been done by a Wrath. The way the Revenants been struck down show precise and accurate attacks."

After hearing her words Edger begin to rub his chin in thought. Elysia, who apparently looked nervousness, had her hands pressed against her chest thinking of the worst of what's going to come out of his mouth.

"Heh, I understand now. I keep forgetting that Sara's been punished with suspension from her military duties. So, she's probably been going crazy in there."

"R-Right! I wouldn't be surprised if Sara stayed inside challenging herself against the Wraths," she said quickly responding to Edger's assumption.

"Yeah well she's not going to get that chance."

Elysia looked confused.

"Knowing Evan he's probably facing against one of them right now," he said with a cocky smile on his face.

"Ack!"

Of course upon hearing Edger, Elysia understood what's going to happen next. With her head lowered facing towards the ground.

"I realize now someone hasn't been doing their job...Ms. Private Hurst," he said at which his smile turned devilish looking straight into her face.

"I-I turn my back for five seconds and he goes and runs inside the school. I swear the nerve of him!" she said trying to hold back her anger while gritting her teeth.
