A Slap to The Face

Bam!

"Phew!" Millie let out a breath of air after punching the last thug into the ceiling. She then turned around, looking at the hostages, "Are you guys alright?"

"Y-Yes," The clerk was the first to reply, sporting a sigh of relief. Though for some reason, she found it difficult to make eye contact with Millie, stuttering in response.

The assault team brought the hostages out of the building as the crisis was resolved.

Millie observed the world vanish in the next moment, just as she experienced all the time, now noticing that she was back at the training hall. She looked around, observing that the faces of all the students were foul, like they had swallowed the worst of insects.

She then noticed Compass Carburettor arriving to a halt before the students, about to announce something. But the moment she stared at him, something seemed to well up within her as before she realised it, she was standing before him.
