Swish, swish, swish—
Tsubasa Amagiri led the way, the blue-gray Kuyo Knife carving out streaks of light.
Cut!
A furious flurry of cuts!
Wherever he passed, broken limbs and torsos flew. The perfect-level "Flying Sword Style" was on full display.
Brutal!
But undeniably effective!
Shizuka Marikawa followed closely behind, but unfortunately, her black pencil skirt restricted her stride, forcing her to take small, hurried steps. Her ample figure swayed like a large ship on the ocean waves.
Although Saeko Busujima was sandwiched with Saya Takagi clinging to her, her speed remained unaffected. After all, Saya Takagi was only 155cm tall. In the past three years, during her kendo practice with Tsubasa, the weights she usually carried were far heavier than this. It would have been better if the nutrition hadn't been so excessive!
At first, she hadn't paid it much mind.
But when Miyamoto Rei caught up, she watched Miyamoto Rei bounding along with ease and suddenly realized she was at a distinct disadvantage.
Her deep purple eyes quickly glanced down at the ample chest Saya Takagi was clinging to.
Damn it!
Why did they all have such… figures?
Click!
The distance of more than 20 meters, which had seemed short, now felt agonizingly long, like the final sprint of a marathon.
Fortunately, they finally reached their destination.
Even more fortunately, the office wasn't locked, the door handle turned easily. Moreover, it was surprisingly quiet inside, with no zombies in sight.
"Let's go in!"
Tsubasa took the lead, rushing inside with Shizuka Marikawa close behind.
Saeko Busujima followed immediately, still carrying the unconscious Saya Takagi.
Finally, Miyamoto Rei stumbled in.
"Hohoho..."
"Ho Ho…Ho"
"Roar!!!"
Although Tsubasa and his team had eliminated many zombies along the way, the number of undead outside hadn't decreased at all. Instead, they had become even more numerous, densely packed and as crowded as a bustling city.
"Teacher Marikawa, close the door quickly!"
"Ahhh!!"
Although Shizuka Marikawa was the first to enter, she stayed by the door. Knowing her fighting abilities were limited, she could only help Tsubasa and the others as best she could.
So, the moment she heard Tsubasa's voice, she grabbed the door with both hands and pushed it shut with all her might.
Bang!
The thick and sturdy metal security door slammed closed, just in time to isolate the pursuing zombies in the corridor outside.
"Saved..."
Seeing the door closed, Miyamoto Rei felt a wave of relief wash over her.
"Saved? It's too early to say that!"
Tsubasa had already moved a desk and appeared beside her before she even noticed. He looked at Miyamoto Rei, whose forehead was beaded with sweat and who was panting heavily. Even her JK school uniform was damp and clung to her body, outlining her curves and adding an unexpected allure.
Under normal circumstances, Tsubasa might have appreciated the view.
But Miyamoto Rei had really infuriated him just moments ago, and he wasn't in a forgiving mood.
"Get out of the way!!"
Since she was little, when had Miyamoto Rei ever been treated like this? First, she was slapped by Tsubasa, and now he was still so fierce. Although she wasn't a proud lady like Saya Takagi, she was still a girl, after all…
In the past, Miyamoto Rei might have picked up her javelin and charged forward in defiance!
However...
Miyamoto Rei didn't feel angry at all.
In fact, she even felt an inexplicable sense of obedience stirring within her.
Moreover, she wanted to obey…
"Sorry…"
Miyamoto Rei quickly lowered her head, supported her almost exhausted body, and moved to the side to make room.
Bang, bang, bang – at this time, the zombie horde outside the door was already attacking the security door with relentless force.
Compared with the previous assault on the teacher's office on the second floor, the attack of the corpse tide this time was even more terrifying. The thick metal security door, which had seemed so sturdy, was instantly deformed and dented inward with a large, ominous deformation.
Bang, bang, bang!!
Tsubasa moved with incredible speed, shoving five desks in a row against the door. With the help of Saeko Busujima, Shizuka Marikawa, and even the still somewhat dazed Miyamoto Rei, three more desks were added to the barricade.
A total of eight desks were moved, effectively clearing the not-so-large office, and finally, the shaky metal security door was stabilized, at least for the moment.
Of course, it was only a temporary fix.
As long as the horde of undead remained outside, the relentless assault wouldn't cease.
Eight desks might seem substantial, and in terms of sheer weight, they provided twice the resistance as before. But facing the exponentially larger number of zombies outside, it was anyone's guess how long they could hold the barricade.
"What should we do next?"
Saeko Busujima looked at Tsubasa.
Despite her impressive physical strength, she was already drenched in sweat. She raised a hand to wipe her brow, only to realize her clothes were soaked through, making the effort futile.
Her delicate face was flushed and glistening, as if she had just stepped out of a shower. Combined with her unique, deep purple eyes, she exuded a captivating blend of coolness and beauty that was hard to look away from.
Miyamoto Rei and Shizuka Marikawa also fixed their gazes on Tsubasa.
Especially Miyamoto Rei!
She finally understood why Tsubasa had said it was too early to celebrate being saved.
Given their current predicament, without another viable option, it was only a matter of time before the relentless tide of corpses breached the security door and flooded the office. By then, escape would be impossible for all of them.
"Tsk…Don't these monsters like noise? Then I'll give them a real party!"
Wiping the sweat from his face, Tsubasa stood up and quickly walked to the window, then shoved it open.
"Hoho…hoho..."
"Roar! Roar!"
At this moment, a terrifying surge of zombies was pouring in from the ground floor of the teaching building. The bloodcurdling screams and roars echoed through the open windows, sending a wave of numbness through Shizuka Marikawa and Miyamoto Rei.
This was overwhelming!
"Or should we use the alarm clock?"
Saeko Busujima approached, her usual cool and elegant demeanor slightly strained. She frowned as she looked at the mass of undead below. "There are too many of them. Moreover, they are in a state of agitation right now. The noise they're making is even louder than the alarm clock…"
She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.
The current situation was drastically different from before.
Whether it was the sheer size and number of the zombies or their heightened state of frenzy, the situation was far worse. The sound of the alarm clock wouldn't even register over their collective roars and screams!
"I won't use the alarm clock this time, the noise is too weak!"
Tsubasa said, opening the system mall and quickly scrolling through the available items.

Want to make a move?
That's too easy!
After this wave, the survivors in the academy would likely be in deep trouble.
But, did Tsubasa care?
