The sports field was behind the teaching buildings. Classes from the school were already gathered on the lush green grass and the track. Three high school grades, over two thousand students in total, formed a surging sea of people.
Seeing this, Kurozawa nonchalantly found a spot behind the crowd to stand, ignoring the inquisitive looks from the unfamiliar students.
After a brief exchange with Ryoko Tamiya, the two separated.
After all, given their identities at school, they shouldn't have any obvious interactions.
At the same time, Kurozawa felt a distinct gaze fixed on him.
He turned his head and saw Kana running over from her class's queue, heading towards his position.
Kurozawa couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling weary.
Kana waved her small hand, a look of joy on her face. Clearly, she still didn't understand what had happened at school.
Kurozawa smiled in greeting, not saying much.
"Nii-san, this drill looks pretty realistic this time, much more real than the previous ones."
Of course, it is. People actually died.
Two floors of the building were destroyed. How could it not be real? After Kana approached, her youthful and radiant appearance attracted a few glances, but with Kurozawa beside her, no one dared to approach.
Simultaneously, just seconds after Kana finished speaking, a black and white steel beast drove up and stopped at the school gate.
This was a large police vehicle used by the Law Enforcement Department to transport a significant number of personnel.
The rear door of the Black and White Truck opened, and Law Enforcement Officers, armed with live ammunition, poured out like fish. Each one was tall and solemn-faced, carrying advanced-looking firearms that appeared far more intimidating than pistols.
Finally, a person who seemed to be the leader stepped out, frowned, and exchanged a few words with someone nearby before shifting their gaze towards the school's personnel.
The school leaders had never seen a situation like this. In front of these Law Enforcement Officers, their legs were weak, and their faces were pale.
Even if they didn't know exactly what had happened.
But seeing these fully armed and prepared Law Enforcement Officers, they knew something major had definitely occurred at the school.
A few minutes later, after listening to the school director's report, the leader waved their hand. The soldiers standing behind them quickly split into three small teams, each with twelve people, and then headed towards the three different teaching buildings.
The leader led one team, moving with steady, quick steps towards the teaching building where Kurozawa had fought earlier.
Soon after they left, the high-level leaders of the school couldn't help but swallow.
Even an idiot would know that their school was in serious trouble.
I wonder if this will affect next year's enrollment, someone thought.
"These people... they don't seem like ordinary police."
"You needed to say that? The police around here aren't even as strong as me, they're like sticks."
"Strict discipline, well-equipped... The anti-terrorism and riot control Law Enforcement Officers I've seen on TV didn't seem to have this kind of presence."
"Shh... don't talk nonsense."
"Do you know about the dismemberment and murder cases happening recently? There seems to be a big problem here."
"Things are getting more chaotic these days. What do you think, is the world ending?"
Because Parasitic Organisms were hunting humans all over the world, these surging related cases simply couldn't be hidden from those who actively investigated.
The internet was already buzzing with discussions, all sorts of theories, and not a few conspiracy theories.
But similarly, there were also some truthful accounts.
There were witnesses who had seen Parasitic Organisms devouring people and survived without being discovered by the Parasitic Organisms.
Some even dared to secretly film Parasitic Organisms in the act of eating and posted it on their social media.
Even under the influence of some inexplicable force, these posts were like a single wave in the sea, vanishing instantly, but they still left behind some vague traces.
On the sports field, many students heard the commotion coming from the school gate.
The soldiers' perfectly synchronized footsteps were very clear, standing out from the crowd of noisy conversations.
However, most just looked towards the school gate with confusion. Because their view was blocked, they didn't understand what was happening.
Kurozawa also pretended not to know, chatting idly with Kana.
However, out of the corner of his eye, through the windows of the teaching building, he was vaguely observing the rapidly moving figures.
By this time, some students had also noticed the armed figures moving through the various teaching buildings, their eyes wide with shock. They then pulled their friends nearby to watch.
The sports field, which had been filled with low murmurs, suddenly erupted in a wave of sound that drowned out the bright sunlight.
At this moment, the students realized that what had just happened was not a drill.
However, most people were slow to react and still felt no fear.
Instead, they felt a sense of novelty and excitement from this bizarre experience, and now they had something to talk and brag about later.
Kurozawa looked at Kana, who also had wide eyes and was looking up. He withdrew his gaze and silently practiced the Breathing Technique, refining his physique.
His strength relied on his own diligent hard work.
Every moment, as long as he was conscious and had free time, he would actively increase the speed of the Breathing Technique's circulation, refining his physique little by little. It was through this accumulation over time that he had his current body.
If he relied entirely on Gray-White, that would be too boring.
At the same time, Kurozawa inadvertently saw Ryoko Tamiya standing among the crowd.
She was also the substitute teacher for Shinichi Izumi's class, and at this moment, she was standing in the queue for Shinichi Izumi's class.
Shinichi Izumi stared at Ryoko Tamiya, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
The tall man who attacked the school was the same person he had met with Ryoko Tamiya at the coffee shop yesterday.
If Ryoko Tamiya hadn't forced him to meet with that person, what happened today wouldn't have occurred.
"Shinichi, don't be impulsive." Righty sensed Shinichi Izumi's emotions.
Shinichi Izumi took a few deep breaths, then just sighed softly, "I just feel powerless."
Incompetent rage is often just a joking expression, but when this emotion truly happens, the degree of discomfort makes Shinichi Izumi's heart feel blocked, almost unable to breathe.
However, he didn't actively approach Ryoko Tamiya. Instead, after noticing Shinichi Izumi's gaze, Ryoko Tamiya moved over from the crowd.
Shinichi Izumi's heart tightened, and then he voluntarily left the crowd, walking towards the edge of the sports field.
He knew the lethality of Parasitic Organisms too well.
If Ryoko Tamiya went crazy like that tall man, the dense crowd of classmates around them would be killed as easily as cutting wheat. This place would turn into a horrific bloody hell.
"Her emotions are very unstable, but she doesn't have any hostility," Righty said to Shinichi Izumi, sensing Ryoko Tamiya's emotions.
Shinichi Izumi calmed down a lot, watching Ryoko Tamiya approach step by step.
Perhaps he himself hadn't realized that he had changed from someone who only knew fear and avoidance at the beginning, to someone who could calmly face Parasitic Organisms.
This was partly due to Shinichi Izumi's own outwardly gentle but inwardly strong personality, but also influenced by the indifferent nature of Parasitic Organisms.
