Chapter 269: Chapter 269:The Vault [4]
Pointing his katana at the horde of djinns, who had their back to him, Kaneki smiled.
However, all the way on the opposite of the djinn hoarder, Kaneki heard Kazuki's voice echoing out.
"HURRY UP, WILL YOU!? STOP TRYING TO ACT MYSTERIOUS." Discover stories with m,v l'e|m-p| y r
"..."
As the djinns at the back slowly turned around and realized that someone was behind them, it was already too late.
Catching five djinns off guard, Kaneki swung his katana once, rapidly ending their lives.
Then, without skipping a beat, Kaneki robotically moved on to the next five djinns.
Like a killing machine, Kaneki would simply dodge for a second before striking, fatally wounding at least one djinn each time he swung his katana.
As the back lines of the horde decreased, Kaneki danced around, flawlessly dodging attacks while simultaneously killing the front of the horde, and began to panic.
Coming to a decision a couple of seconds later, the djinns resumed their charge, sprinting toward Kaneki and the gigantic hole.
Standing completely still, Kaneki watched from behind the hole as countless djinns ran forward.
Noticing the hole, the first djinn of the horde attempted to jump over..
However...he never landed.
Seeing the djinn jump, Kaneki stabbed his spear forward, impaling the djinn right in the air right above the hole.
Not wasting a single moment, Kaneki threw the djinn's body into the hole before watching as four more djinns attempted to jump over the hole.
Repositioning himself to the side of the hole, Kaneki angled his spear so perfectly as he swung it forward that it impaled all four djinns mid-air.
Shaking the bodies of the four djinns off his spear, Kaneki did the same thing for every single hole-crossed, flawlessly impaling them before they could even land on the other side of the hole.
Within a few seconds, the nearly hundred djinns are decreased to less than thirty.
With Kaneki's constant massacre from behind and Kazuki's perfect impaling as if he were fishing, that number decreased to zero in less than a minute.
Staring at the ground in front of him, which was littered with blood and countless motionless djinn bodies, Kazuki sighed before putting down his katana.
However, before sheathing the katana, Kaneki walked over to each dark spot that had been formed from his katana's slashes.
The dark portions of the air disappeared before flowing into Kaneki's katana as he walked near them.
While Kaneki cleared the area of any dark spots, Kazuki made sure there were no more djinns before turning around.
The courtyard, once filled with students, was now empty as the teachers had probably evacuated them towards a safer space.
After waiting a few moments, Kazuki sighed before sitting down.
"Seraphina was never going to come, was sh-"
"What was that, my dear student council president?"
"..."
Surprised by the sudden voice, Kazuki looked up at the source, noticing a familiar figure levitating in the air above him.
As Kazuki stared at Principal Seraphina in shock, Kaneki finished clearing all the dark spots and walked over.
Examining the courtyard, which was quite odd... as one small part of it was painted blood-red and filled with bodies while the rest of it was completely normal, Seraphina said.
"There's still a couple more if you two would like t-"
"Nope."
Interrupting Seraphina's mid-sentence, Kaneki sheathed his katana before hopping the fence and walking away from the courtyard.
Raising his hand as he walked away, Kaneki said.
"I'm getting lunch at the cafeteria now that it's empty."
Watching Kaneki's fleeting figure, Kazuki leaned back before saying.
"If you really do need our help, we'll be there... but I doubt there's anything that could challenge you, principal."
Giving Kazuki a nod, Seraphina quickly said.
"Why don't you go on and enjoy a meal as well, Kazuki? You two have been a great help."
Without waiting for Kazuki's response, Seraphina immediately disappeared before repeating above the administrative building.
Descending to the ground, Seraphina swung open the doors before making her way down the secret set of stairs hidden in her office.
Back in the courtyard, Kazuki simply sat down next to the massive hole, staring at the sky.
"I think I'll pass on lunch today."
...
...
...
"...you know the wealthy report never said anything about it raining FUCKING BODIES, MAN!"
Hidden in the corner of the hole and surrounded by countless bodies, Ren resisted the urge to puke and pass out from the terrible smell combined with the gruesome sight.
"If only this enhanced eyesight had an off button..."
Closing his eyes, Ren hesitated before turning back around.
He hadn't been just sitting in this massive hole the entire time... but digging.
Having already found the perfectly efficient digging method from the battle royale, Ren had already made a massive tunnel that started at the hole.
Walking away from the hole, Ren ventured deeper into his tunnel until he finally met the end.
Instead of their being dirt, the end of the tunnel was a massive metal wall that stretched horizontally, preventing Ren from just tunneling around it.
Staring at the metal wall, Ren sighed.
"Yeah, so the academy neglects its outside boundaries, which allowed a hundred djinns inside just today, BUT BUILD A FUCKING METAL WALL UNDERGROUND?"
"MAKE IT MAKE SENSE PLEASE!"
Calming himself down, Ren tried to think of a way to break the metal wall while being discreet.
*MEOW*
Hearing his cat purr from behind him, Ren's facial expression tightened
When he went back to his dorm, his cat refused to allow him to leave until Ren finally brought the cat in his hoodie.
The cat, awakened by Ren's screaming, jumped out of his hoodie.
Walking to the walls of the tunnel, which were dirt, the cat pawed at the unstable wall for a couple of seconds.
A small hole quickly formed in the wall from the cat's claws, and as it moved away, water suddenly began spouting out of the hole.
"..."
Staring at the water flooding out of the tiny hole, Ren came to a realization.
"...oh wait, we're on an island, aren't we!?"
