*At the north district*

——————————

.

A group of seven members were walking towards a base which was located in the north district. Since Sakuru couldn't contact that base, they decided on sending a special group formed by the SHS headmaster. When they arrived at their destination, they saw a lot of dead human bodies lying around.

[ No, most of the zombies have sword cuts all over the place. Someone who can use a sword must have done this. From all the people here, you should have known since you have water blade manipulation. ] ( Raiden )

His status may seem not that different from a normal person, but thanks to his skill, he can manage to copy 80% of skills and status points from anyone he can see with his eyes.

[ Well, I can't help it when we have such a cute girl in our group. ] ( Raiden )

He smiled as he continued looking over to Kogane. But she didn't seem to be interested in him, that's why she ignored him.

[ Man, you're luck she hasn't beaten the shit out of you yet. ] ( Koiji )

[ Or maybe she has a crush on me and she's too shy to talk to me. ] ( Raiden )

[ Or maybe you're retarded and she just doesn't want to bother with you. ] ( Koiji )

[ Huh? Aren't you getting a little cocky with me? Just because you're ranked 2nd doesn't mean that you're stronger than me. ] ( Raiden )

[ Actually, it does and you won't be able to change it if you keep acting like that. Also no, I don't want to fight with you. We are in the same team and we have the same mission to complete. ] ( Koiji )

[ You just ruined my mood. Are you happy now? 

Why do you act up like that every time I try to talk with Kogane? You don't actually have a crush on her do you? ] ( Raiden )

Koiji's body twiched a little when Raiden asked that kind of question with a smirk on his face.

[ Y-you need to stop fooling and start focusing in our mission. ] ( Koiji )

He tried avoiding the question that Raiden asked as they continued walking.

[ He is right. Don't get distracted now that we are out here. Even the smallest mistake can cause your life. ] ( Tatsuya )

Right now, Tatsuya was concentrating on his surroundings in order to figure out what had happened here as the whole group continued going forward.

[ Tch, whatever. ] ( Raiden )

.

.

.

The special group finally arrived at the temporary base that the soldiers had set up. Outside the borders of this base was mostly destroyed for several reasons. 

[ Stop right there! ] 

One of the soldiers aimed his gun towards them. 

[ Calm down, we were sent by SHS to check on this base. ] ( Tatsuya )

None of the SHS's group didn't seem bothered by the fact that they were being aimed with a gun.

[ You're from Sakuru's main force? ] 

The soldier, together with some of his comrades approached the group.

[ Yeah, Sakuru lost its main satellite so they couldn't get in contact with the other bases. ] ( Tatsuya )

Tatsuya gave to the soldier some documents which contained new orders and instructions about the current situation.

[ I understand, please follow us this way. ]

The special group was led inside the base where they could meet with the general.

[ This place looks so empty… ] ( Hanna )

She reacted as everyone was being led inside the place.

[ After being attacked by those zombies, we had all of the refugees transferred to the nearest city. ] 

The soldier replied.

[ Nearest city? ] ( Tatsuya )

[ Yeah, apparently another city survived the disaster.

We'll also move our base near that city as well. So after gathering all of our stuff here, we'll head to the Underground City. ] 

The soldier said to Tatsuya and his group.
