Chapter 38: Jump!

'From just the two of us, through having an entire comando all the way to the current state of my group,' Nadia thought, unable to control her body any longer.

Her muscles were moving on their own, just as if someone had taken over and was attempting to help her go through the dire situation.

'And now I'm stuck with two normies, a dysfunctional officer and my strange state!' Nadia lamented in her mind while her body continued to drag the three of her new companions towards the staircase.

"I can run on my own!" the officer protested, shaking Nadia's hand as he started to run himself. "Where are we going?" he then asked, turning his eyes towards the girl.

"How could I know?" Mia's lips moved on their own, uttering her words in a voice oozing annoyance. "You wanted to run to the stairs, didn't you?" she then asked before shutting her mouth close to preserve her breath.

As the very central point of the entire school, the place that Mathew initially picked for their stronghold was pretty spacious. It was so huge, in fact, that its creator actually fitted several rooms and additional classrooms just in the middle area in the space used for technicalities on the lower floors.

'I wonder if we will make it,' Nadia thought, limited to just passively watching how the events unfold.

She could tell that her body operated with the strength it shouldn't have. Yet, while she could no longer control her movements, she could very well feel the drawbacks of using so much strength to run.

'IT BURNS!' the girl screamed out in her mind, while her lips remained oblivious to the overuse of her body.

"There!" the cute girl that started the entire disaster shouted and shot her hand forward, pointing at something in the distance. "The stairs... are gone!"

'It's over,' Nadia thought, her mind projecting all sorts of things that would happen to her once the rest of the students would get their hands on her.

'I know I trained all sorts of stuff; I know it seems I'm stronger now, but...' Nadia thought, only to then bite down on her lips. 'It still won't be enough!'

For a moment, Nadia's mind fell into despair. Yet, just as she was about to succumb to the dark state of her soul, the girl shrugged.

'Huh?' she took a moment to clear her thoughts only to then cast them all aside and focus on a single, particular feeling.

'My lips... are cut?'

It was only a small detail, a tiny injury, that she found herself suffering more often than most of the other people around. All because of Nadia's habit of biting down on her lips when she couldn't figure something out.

Yet...

How could her lips be split open right now? Or rather, why did her body react to her thoughts if she could no longer control them?

"We destroyed all the stairs, after all." The voice of the officer's comment forced Nadia's mind back on the track.

She eagerly wished for a moment for herself so that she could figure out what was going. Sadly, the world around Nadia didn't care what she wished for or what she wanted.

And neither did the group of students that finally figured out what was going on and started their chase.

"Supplies!" the officer shouted, turning his head to the back, only to feel Nadia's shoe on his butt again.

"Too late; we can't grab them now," Nadia quickly informed, rushing towards the stairs.

And right as the small group of four managed to reach the destroyed staircase, Nadia figured it out.

'I just need to stop resisting?' she thought before mentally swallowing a gulp of saliva and then relaxing.

In an instant, Nadia returned to reality. Her vision turned back to its human version, and the immense power bursting through her veins dissipated all at once.

'What the hell was that?' Nadia asked herself, only to take a quick glance to the back.

'Thirty seconds at most,' she judged the distance and the speed of their pursuers before taking a look at the gaping hole in the floor ahead.

Surely enough, the floor below was filled with zombies. Yet, while jumping right into their brain-craving hands seemed like a bad idea, it was actually the act of jumping itself that Nadia was horrified by the most.

'If the floor breaks just like it did before...' she thought, only to shake her head and grab the arm of the officer.

"It all happened because you hesitated to kill them!" she shouted right in the man's face, ignoring his potential trauma caused by the event.

Now was no time to deal with the psychological problems of some randoms.

"I...I didn't..." the officer attempted to argue, clearly unwilling to assume responsibility for what happened, even if only on a mental level.

"You fucked up before," Nadia cut the officer's words short before shaking her hand and the man's arm that she grabbed on. "But now you can redeem yourself," she stated, cursing away at the guilty feeling that instantly filled her soul.

'Who am I to offer that man redemption?' Nadia asked herself, only to shake her head and refocus her attention.

The group of students was now only ten seconds away.

"What?" the officer asked, clearly not catching Nadia's drift.

"You fucked up before." Nadia's eyes darkened, and her fingers tightened around the man's elbow.

Five seconds.

"Then go and pave the way for us to escape now!" Nadia shouted, suddenly using all the strength of her muscles and weight of her body combined into one of the simplest throws that she had ever learned.

And without even a moment of hesitation, she threw the poor officer towards the zombie-filled staircase of the lower floor while using her other hand to grab the gun that fell out of the policeman's hand.

A second. The students at the front already reached out with their hands, ready to grab the girl and her two other companions.

"Jump!" Nadia shouted, raising the gun in a single, fluid motion. She gently pulled on the trigger the second both the muzzle and the body of the nearest opponent appeared in a single frame of her vision.

Chapter 39: Nadia's Frenzy

Nadia's shot stopped the advance of her pursuers only for a brief moment.

The dust kicked by the shot fell down, clearing the air in the room. Once it settled, like soldiers following a commander, the remaining students rushed forward.

'They are worse than zombies,' Nadia thought, relaxing her finger only to pull on the trigger again.

"Jump!" she shouted, not daring to look away.

A club came swinging from the right. Nadia lowered herself on her left knee, bending her entire torso away from the attack.

Whoosh!

The improvised weapon flew right past Nadia's ear. The wind dragged along by the club made her earlobe flutter.

'Piss off!' Nadia screamed out inwardly.

"Haaa...." Nadia exhaled when she kicked her right foot forward. Her shoe struck a man in front of her. His outstretched hand, clearly aiming for the girl's hair, comically stayed in place when the man's chest caved in under Nadia's kick.

Bang!

She quickly followed with another shoot, finally putting a stop to the frenzy of her pursuers.

"Help!" the officer shouted from behind.

Nadia's red vision returned, growing more and more intense with each strike, each kick, and each shot. By the time the group of males hungry for Nadia's flesh realized their situation, it was Nadia who pressed up the attack.

"Jump after me!" the underclassman companion of the cute girl shouted.

Nadia then heard a slight rustle, only for her brain to make her feel how the young man jumped to the floor below.

Right where zombies were busy swarming the defenseless policeman.

'I will surely go to hell for that,' Nadia thought, pulling the trigger yet again, mortified by what she had done just a moment earlier.

'I really did throw a man to his doom.' This single thought filled Nadia's head, making her doubt her morality as she continued to slaughter her former schoolmates.

All the aggressive students turned now into nothing but a lump of rushing blood.

It was so charming, the rhythm of their beating hearts. A melody that Nadia felt a powerful urge to hear, to absorb, to consume.

"Die," she ordered when her high-raised knee smashed against the throat of the retreating aggressor. This word came out of the girl's mouth without her even noticing.

"Die!" she cried out when her finger desperately clutched against the trigger, only for the gun to fail to shoot.

With no munition, a handgun was nothing more than a doorbell-like shaped lump of metal.

Heavy and unhandy.

'Perfect,' Nadia's soul resonated with the meaning of this word, her lips trembling in excitement as if she was a child that just found its new toy.

Nadia switched her hold over the gun, grabbing it by its barrel instead.

It took only a second for the bottom of the handgun to shatter the side of yet another student's skull.

It didn't matter that the students started to retreat long ago. In her frenzy, Nadia continued to chase after her former pursuers.

She killed more than half of the initial group. Judging from the sensation of beating hearts, Nadia could tell only five of the defeated foes remained alive, two of which would soon succumb to their wounds.

"Help!"

A desperate cry somehow broke through the red mist covering Nadia's mind.

The red-hued world before her suddenly stalled; a flash of the normal colored world replaced it, only for the blood-like crimson to cover everything up again.

"We are going to die!"

Nadia's body moved, rushing back towards the staircase.

Just like before, she couldn't really control her movements.

'It's as if my body worked on instinct and instinct alone,' she thought, her will reduced to just the spectator of the events.

It was great to know that she could rely on this strange state of her mind in a pinch...

'It's really infuriating after all,' Nadia thought, mentally clenching her hands.

Whatever she would do now wouldn't be the result of her own work, her own struggle. Unable to influence what she was doing at all, Nadia felt strangely detached from the events playing out before her eyes.

But for her body, Nadia's mental struggle didn't matter.

Her legs carried her towds the secondary staircase, the same one that she was at just a moment earlier. And as soon as she got to the edge of where the policemen had demolished the floor and stairs before, Nadia jumped.

The policeman and both of the underclassmen were already on the other side, dealing with the horde of zombies. Or actually, the pair of Nadia's juniors continued to struggle while the bloodied body of the policeman proved he paid the highest price for his incompetence before.

"DIE!" Nadia shouted from the bottom of her heart. She raised her legs and pushed them forward, opting to go for a double kick instead of a traditional landing.

Nadia's shoes dug into the skull and a shoulder of two different zombies, respectively, And while the attack she executed with her left leg only served to hinder the zombie's movement...

'What...?'

Nadia's shock was so great that she somehow got out of her frenzied state.

Because the right leg that she brought down on another zombie's head... Actually mashed its skull in, ending its struggle to stay somewhat alive.

"What?" Nadia muttered when she finally landed on the ground, only to instantly push forward, right into the wave of the zombies.

While the shocking effectiveness of her kick took the girl by surprise, there was one memory that overshadowed everything else, forcing the girl to push through.

And it was the moment when the floor of the same floor, just more towards the middle of the building, collapsed.

This single event took out several well-trained and armed policemen, all of whom Mathew tried so hard to gather. As such, between getting molested by the zombies and falling to her death along with the rubble...

Nadia didn't need to think much to make her choice!
