6 6-Faculty

The Two Groups were staring at each other. The Atmosphere within the Faculty Room was tense. Arthur and Lilith looked at the Group in front of them. They were the first ones that managed to enter the room, which was a little bit surprising. The other group, on the other hand, noticed the Bloodied Baseball Bat and Bloodied Sword. The Two Students in front of them were dangerous, but one of the Group Members decided to speak to the Two Students that recently entered the Faculty.

"Hello, My name is Stella. An Athletic Teacher." A Tan Lady gave a Hand to Arthur, who stood quietly with his Bloodied Baseball Bat. Arthur shook Stella's hand and introduced himself and Lilith. "My name is Arthur, A Third-Year Student. She is Lilith Reid, A-" Arthur had no information about Lilith, and thankfully Lilith continued the introduction. "Second-Year Student." Arthur, hearing such information, looked at her with a calm looked. "So you're a Second-Year Student?"

Lilith nodded at Arthur's question. Arthur was surprised at Lilith's Year in School as he expected her to be in the same year as him. Lilith got an Idea that Arthur could be her upperclassman. After the three of them finished introducing themselves to each other, Arthur looked at the remaining people in the group. There were Four Women, including the Teacher and Three Men that were all students. All of them were carrying their own weapons, which means that they went through hell to enter this place.

While Arthur was investigating the Students behind Stella, The Students looked at Arthur's and Lilith's Weapon. The students could see that their Weapon was still in good condition even though it was bloodied with Undead Blood and Flesh. That would mean that their Weapon was a High-Grade Weapon. One of the Male Students then spoke. "We'd rather not fight, so please put down your weapons." Arthur, hearing such words, had a cold expression on his face.

"Do you want to die," Arthur said with a cold tone as he pointed his Bloodied Baseball Bat to the Male Student. The Aura around him told the people within the Faculty that he would kill the Male Student without any fear. The Male Student back down as he had a horrified expression plastered upon his face. Stella, on the other hand, was shocked at what happened. She wanted to deescalate the situation, but Arthur spoke before she could say her words.

"Lilith, what do you think is one of the most important things for a Survivor?" Arthur asked a question. Lilith had a calm look on her face and answered without any reactions. "A Weapon." The answer was simple. The Weapon was one of the most important things for a Survivor. Without a Weapon, A Survivor could never get Supplies or a Home. Abandoning your Weapon was one of the basic death sentences. The moment you dropped or lost your weapon. You are already counted as dead.

"That is correct, A Weapon. A Normal Survivor would rather kill themselves than letting anyone take their Weapons." Arthur said towards the Male Student. It was a Warning that Arthur would kill anyone that dares to steal his Weapon. The Other Students within the Group decided not to say anything as they could understand what Arthur meant. Arthur then sighed and stopped pointing his Baseball Bat towards the Male Student. He then walked towards the Bathroom inside the Faculty. Lilith followed him, and the whole Faculty was in silence.

As Arthur and Lilith entered the Bathroom, Lilith spoke. "That was one way to break down the negotiations." Arthur looked at her and sighed. He knew that he was going too far for acting like that. But it was one of his instincts to never abandoned his only weapon. "Would you abandoned that Sword of yours?" Arthur asked, and Lilith answered. "No, Their Heads would be flying if they touch my Sword." Arthur shook his head and noticed that he needed to adapt to Lilith's bold words.

She was right about breaking down the negotiations, but she would rather break down the negotiations than give up on her sword. "You really are strange," Arthur said with a breaking smile. "Right back at you." Lilith also smiles as the two of them exited the Bathroom. They could see the group gathering, and it seemed that they had a quiet argument. The Male Student walked towards Arthur and bowed. "Please accept my Apology..."

"Well, I went too far with my words and action, so Apology accepted," Arthur said with a calm voice as he sat on one of the Chairs within the Faculty Room. He had been running for a while that he needed time to take a break. He was Hungry and Thirsty, but Arthur always had his poker face plastered. No one would ever understand his inner self as it was deep within him. That was what he thought until he felt a hand on his back.

"Drink it... We have been moving for a while." Lilith gave a Bottle of Water to Arthur. Although Arthur had his Poker Face plastered, Lilith was aware that they have been moving nonstop during the run on the Second Floor. She also noticed that even though Arthur was skillful, His Stamina was weaker than her. Arthur accepted the Water Bottle as Lilith sat on the chair near him. The Both of them had basic trust in each other after seeing their capabilities.

"Thanks for the Water Bottle..." Arthur said while giving back the Water Bottle. "You're Welcome," Lilith said and took back the Water Bottle. The two of them were sitting on the chairs and resting their bodies. Even Lilith felt tired and the need to sleep. Arthur noticed the tired Lilith, but the time to sleep was not now. While sitting on his chair, Arthur spoke.

"We have to get to the Cafeteria," Arthur said to Lilith. Hearing his words, Lilith knew what he was trying to tell, but there were many complications. "The Cafeteria has Hundreds of Undead within it. Entering the Cafeteria might be unwise." Arthur understood what Lilith was trying to say, but he had a plan. "The only thing we needed to do is to drive out the Undead." Hearing a part of his plan, Lilith sighed and spoke. "When?"

"Tomorrow," Arthur answered, and Lilith nodded in agreement. They would begin their operation tomorrow. No matter how Skillful or Strong they were. The two of them were still wearing their meat suits that needed energy to move. The Two of them calmly sat on their Chair while the other group began talking to each other.

"Teacher, what do we do about them?" One of the Female Students that was carrying a pole asked. Stella, hearing their question, answered. "There is nothing we could do about them. They don't intend to harm us, so there is no reason for us to attack them." The Teacher's answer was logical. There was no need to attack when the other party wasn't planning to attack. If Arthur and Lilith plan to attack, They would have been bashing or slicing everyone's body.

The students nodded in agreement and decided that the People within the Faculty should be passive. While the Students were roaming around the Faculty as they had nothing to do, Arthur had another conflict within his mind. Should he invite Lilith to join his group? After a lot of time thinking about such a thing, Arthur decided to let it out.

"Lilith, Would you like to join me?" The Invitation Moment got flipped, and Arthur began to remember his old memories. The Time where Lilith invited him to join her group was echoing within his mind. It was not a Good Memory, but it was the last time Arthur saw Lilith in the Old Reality. Lilith was confused at what Arthur was saying. "Eh? Why? There must be a reason for this?" Lilith asked.

"There are only two reasons why I invited you. You are Strong, and I want you." Arthur said with full honesty. Lilith, hearing such words, titled her head in confusion. What the hell was happening? She tried to calm herself down and began thinking about Arthur's words. The Reason why he invited her was because of her Strength and because he wanted her. Why would he want her?

Arthur was not a Guy that looked at Beauty. Although he appreciated beauty, He had a good resistance against it. So all the things would be pointing at her Strenght and Skill. Lilith looked at the future journey, and she realized what Arthur was trying to do or what she thought Arthur was trying to do. She would also have invited Arthur as her survival chance would also increase. Lilith had many thoughts within her mind, and she managed to found one answer.

'The Two of us could increase our Survival Potential within this Lawless World.'

"Yes, I accept your Invitation," Lilith said with sparkling eyes. Arthur was skillful as her, so it was like having a clone looking behind your back. She was a little bit excited about what they could do in the future. Arthur, on the other hand, was confused. Arthur thought he needed to do more things to make Lilith agree, but that was too easy. It was a little bit scary how fast Lilith accepted the Invitation.

"Thanks for accepting my Invitation, Lilith," Arthur said with a smile. It doesn't matter what Lilith had in mind. He finally had a Powerhouse in his group. "Thanks for giving me an Invitation, Arthur," Lilith also said with a smile. The two of them were smiling at each other. The Other Group noticing them, couldn't help but look at them with a strange gaze. Something happened between the two, and they were smiling for no reason. It was a bit scary as they were currently in a Chaotic World.

One of the Male Students within the Group that was carrying a Crowbar asked. "When do you think our Rescue would come?" With the words spoken by the guy, Many other Students asked the same questions. "Do you think the Military would help us?" "Isn't the situation worsening? I doubt that police wouldn't notice the Emergency within the School." Lilith shook her head after noticing the words spoken by the Students.

"Don't bother getting your hopes up," Arthur said with a carefree tone. "What?" Many students were confused, and Stella shook her head. She already understood everything that was happening. It was simple, but most people would rather avoid such truth. "Do you think the school is the only place with Undead roaming around it?"

"The Undead are roaming all around the World, and It ain't caused by some Virus or some unknown fungi. If we concluded that 25% of the Human Population changes into an Undead in one moment, That would mean that every place on this planet is full of Undead. I doubt the Military is having fun. Their comrades are probably eating each other." Arthur gave them a good look at what would happen at the Start of the Apocalpyse World.

"Judging from what Arthur said... 75% of the Human Population would get caught off guard. Possibly 35% of People would die from the initial Ambush, and many would die in the next few hours." Lilith continued while putting her finger on her chin. She was thinking about what Arthur said. The World was really ending at a fast pace. Most governments weren't even given the time to react.

The Students were looking at the two of them with doubtful gazes. They think that what the two were speaking was their own speculation. The Military and their World were as strong as it was the Modern World. Stella wanted to say that it was possible the truth, but the Students would probably break down. Arthur seeing their doubtful gazes sighed and decided to open the Television.

The Television opened as the Electricity was still in the School or the City. The Start of the Apocalypse World got finally revealed to the Students. The Chaos and Anarchy that would spread dominion over the Former Modern World. It was the End of Times, and it was the Beginning of the Apocalpyse World.
