8 CLEANING THE SCHOOL

"I need to go pee for a moment." Shiro excused himself to a place only he could be found.

"Open." He commanded and the notification on the panel opened.

As he had suspected, the message he hoped to see showed on the screen.

{You Have Leveled Up.

Mission:

Kill 20 Undead: completed.

+1 on all stats}

He could barely hold himself from screaming out for joy.

"Player Stats." He ordered again and the details on the panel screen changed.

"Oh, there are quite a few changes to my stats. And there's even a title now. Probably got it due to my high number of undead kills. I'll have to allocate the free points soon. It's just sitting there." Shiro inspected the changes to his player stats.

"Two points to every stat." He ordered and all his stats went up by two, leaving ten extra points.

He walked back to Hina. "Sorry, it took longer than normal. Let's head back to school, I need to at least rid the school of all the undead. You'll help right?" Shiro asked.

"As long as Shiro asks, I'll help out." Hina said with a smile.

"It'll keep the others safe. They'll have a place to stay and there's food at school too. Just in case, let's visit the mart close to school." Shiro was already moving ahead.

"I'll go anywhere with you Shiro. Just say the word." Hina chased after him.

"That's great. Then, let's head to the mat first." Shiro smiled at her and she smiled back.

"You don't think this is enough?" Shiro asked.

Hina had filled four huge baskets that had tires with different foods to eat.

"Shiro is strong. I'll tie them together and you'll pull the rope. I'll fill up one more and push it behind you." Hina informed Shiro of her plan.

The baskets were as tall as Shiro and the diameter of the baskets was the length of Shiro's arm.

"I should pull all these?" Shiro asked in surprise. Yes, he could now. But it would require a lot of work.

"It's all done. Let's go." Hina appeared with another big basket and pushed it ahead of Shiro. "We'll meet at school." She ran with a big basket trailing behind her, pulled by a rope.

"Well, damnit." Shiro held the rope and pulled it behind him. Step by step, he walked toward the school.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the school gate.

"You're late." Hina complained.

"Well, you should've pulled it instead and see how you'd do against my record." Shiro grunted.

"Let's go in."

He opened the gate and pulled the baskets inside.

He inspected a classroom on the bottom floor. It was empty so he pushed the basket inside, covered the windows, and closed the door. Luckily, it had a key on it so he locked it and went with the key.

He turned to Hina. "You'll stay behind me as we go in. I'll take care of everything we come across. All you have to do is watch my back. Make sure nothing approaches from behind. Is that clear?" Shiro asked at the end.

"I've got one question though." She raised her hand.

"I swear, I'll bite you if you end up asking an annoying question. Please be serious." Shiro felt like he knew what she was going to say next.

"Can humans like us approach?" Hina asked innocently.

"Yes… as long as they don't look weird, they can approach." Shiro sighed and nodded.

"Fine." She smiled.

"Let's head inside then." Shiro told her and they headed inside.

Shiro was immediately met with his first undead.

Ding!

Another message popped up.

{A Sub-Mission Has Arrived.

Sub-Mission:

Undead Are All Around Hiroma Academy. Eliminate All Undead From The School.

Mission Failure: Death Of The School Students.

Your Death. (20% Probability)

Mission Success: Level Up When Condition Is Met.

+1 On All Stats When You Level Up.

10% Increase In Exp.}

"Nice." Shiro smiled when he saw the message.

"What was that?" Hina asked.

"Nothing." Shiro dashed at the first undead.

He pulled the red sword from his back. This one was slightly shorter and duller than the blue blade but it was a great weapon.

With one slash, he beheaded the undead, and then he ran ahead killing the others he met on the way.

When Hina met him, he had killed almost thirty undead. His body was covered in blood.

"I think you should rest for a minute." Hina advised him.

Shiro was smiling. Another level-up message had just been received.

"I'll rest after I reduce them some more." Shiro ran away again.

"He's been getting stubborn lately." Hina said, pouting her cheeks.

An undead silently approached her from behind.

When it got close enough, it tried to growl but a spearhead went into his mouth.

"Only Shiro is allowed to sneak up on me." She grumbled with a cold murderous intent oozing out of her.

She pulled out her spear without turning to look at what she had just killed.

"Shiro, I got one." She came running through the hallway happily.

She stopped in front of one class. The door was open and she could hear voices.

"Thank you." Someone said and then Hina walked in.

"Oh, there you are, Shiro!" She walked and sat next to him.

"Shiro, I got one of them." She reported to him as if she was his underling.

"That's great." Shiro rubbed her head.

"We need to head to our classroom now." Shiro told her as he got up.

"Understood." Hina stood up with a smile that seemed to never leave her face.

If you guys have suggestions about the book, I'd be happy to see them. If it great and ends up being used, the chapter will be dedicated to you.

I'd love to get reviews too. Thank you all.

• Shiro has leveled up and the cap of his stamina has risen too. It depletes the more he fights.
