Bab 39: To be, or not to be, that is the question..

While the fight continues to rage on the outside of the pool area, the situation inside the pool area still is in a rather desperate situation. Haruta and the others are in the stands. As of right now, this is probably the safest position. The ones in the lobby near the fight outside are at risk. However, the ones at the pool deck area are currently at the highest risk due to insufficient manpower.

Mito focuses then stretches both arms out as though offering a hug. Naturally, one look at her stern face would instantly inform you that she is not trying to hug anyone.

As she stretches slowly outwards, numerous translucent shard-like particles form barrier structures which appear numerously. Layer on layer of barriers stack forming walls on each side of the spectre in front of her.

With a wave with her right hand in the direction of the three "lifeguard" goons, barriers also appear in front of each of them causing each of them to run and collide directly into the barrier. These goons then crazily hammer the barrier with their fists and small cracks appear.

Mito realizing this clenches her teeth. She cannot reinforce those barriers as the spectre in front of her will require her full attention. At this time, large cracking noises are heard from within the cube-like structure which consists of numerous barrier walls. At the middle of this structure is the spectre pale man. Like a wild beast, he hammers on the walls with his fist. Each strike resulting in the accumulation of cracks.

Immediately, Mito raises both hands in the direction of the spectre and forms a frame with her fingers 『 』.

Immediately, numerous layers reinforce the cracks. Mito then moves her fingers of the frame closer together 『 』.Each time she moves her fingers closer together, the cube like structure compresses the spectre further. Naturally, she cannot do this easily as the resistance and onslaught of attacks on the barrier by the spectre prevents her.

"Scoundrel!" The spectre roars while pounding even harder against the barriers surrounding him.

Beads of sweat begin to appear on Mito's forehead. With even higher concentration and maintaining her fingers in the 『 』 frame pattern, Mito creates multiple sharp pointed shards to extrude from the cube barrier walls into the interior where the spectre continues to revolt.

The barriers blocking the goons continue to accumulate cracks. Mito sees this and shouts, "Immediately get as far away from those three as possible! All institute personnel immediately form a blockade and try to delay as much time as possible! Cycle the injured to the exit first!"

The shattering of three barriers is heard where the three goons have been temporarily blocked.

The trained personnel immediately get into position and form a barricade. Every object within reach also was thrown towards the three goons such as kickboards, noodles, and pull buoys to slow their charge.

A row of the trained personnel immediately take out a riot shield which seemed to have a buzzing hum emitted from it. Electricity courses through the shields.

Behind this row of personnel with riot shields are a row of personnel with a high tech-looking sword blade with crackling electricity surging on back and forth the sword edge.

The three "lifeguard" goons charge through the numerous pool equipment that were used as projectiles and immediately ram into the row of personnels with riot shields. Immediately, the fight became one pot gruel. Groups of trained personnel surround each goon and engage dogfights.

The swimmers on the deck continue to worriedly evacuate the space. Feng Ye also starts to evacuate. Haruta and the others already have exited from the viewing area.

Unfortunately, when around 85% of the swimmers have evacuated. A mutation occurs.

The personnel are limited by their stamina and strength. The goons seemed to have inexhaustible stamina. Thus, quickly, the personnel started to tire out leading to their rout. One by one, the personnel pant for breath then collapse under the onslaught of the three goons. The badly battered riot shields were scattered all over the now bloody pool deck.

Just as the last personnel was about to collapse, with a desperate look, he apologizes with a glance at Feng Ye and the rest of the swimmers. "Sorry…"

After glancing over and saying that single word, a fist from one of the goons pummels his head resulting in the cracking of his skull. His entire body gets flown by the impact into the pool water. The area where he landed in the pool slowly turns a light red due to his outflow of blood.

Feng Ye now has the choice. The famous quote from Hamlet resounds clearly in his mind, "To be, or not to be? That is the question..."

Shall he use his ability to protect these non-espers or use it to leave quicker. Naturally, he has no friendship with these scrubs. He immediately chooses the latter.

Decisions are great in the planning stages, unfortunately, reality doesn't allow for such. Feng Ye notices in the crowd of the remaining 15% of swimmers Wu Ya's form.

"D*mn, why hasn't she evacuated yet…"

Unfortunately, Wu Ya, during warm up, was in the middle lanes. Thus, during evacuation, she naturally would be one of the last to be able to leave the pool.

The three goons immediately charge towards Feng Ye, Wu Ya, and the remaining 15% of swimmers.

Mito notices this scenario and sighs in a depressive manner. "At least the 85% were able to exit from here..." She then continues to focus on dealing with this enemy. If the spectre in front of her isn't solved quickly, the slim chance of rescuing the 15% would be zero.

"AAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Mito screams as she forces all her strength into compressing the spectre in the barrier cube. Numerous spikes continue to get formed and are shot at the spectre within.

Bab 40: A 1 v 4 Scenario; Troublesome Times Ahead…

In a conference room, a board of directors meeting is being held. On several television screens which are embedded into the conference room's wall are live video showing the situations in each of the campuses.

Five individuals sit around the conference table. The age range of the group is around 38-45 years of age. The codenames of the members in the board of directors are TIGER, HAWK, CAT, FOX, and LEOPARD, respectively.

A dark haired man with a tiger mask sitting at the seat of honor looks at the other attendees of the meeting. "As you can see. Someone has been attacking all five of the campuses."

He pauses and the television screens immediately show enlarged versions of the live video of each campus.

"Each campus, Kami Institute, Toukai Academy, Serin Institute, Houtei Academy, and Fito High School are being attacked." The television screens then show the current confrontation between Mito and the spectre along with the fight of Suzi, Watabi, and Honoka.

"As you can see from Kami Institute, they are badly battered. The other campuses are just as desperate." He proceeds to show other recordings of the other campuses which feature numerous casualties and collapsed buildings. It also displays spectres similar in build thrashing and charging at students. Distressed high level instructors also can be seen exhaustedly defending the students.

"We have also just got a report of the student council's movement in which numerous espers from the student enforcer team have been headed towards Kami Institute."

"They also have sent numerous teams which are heading towards the other campuses. I believe it is time to mobilize our hidden taskforce: Silent -1! This will be the perfect chance to utilize them. They have long ambushed in four of the five campuses which are Toukai Academy, Serin Institute, Houtei Academy, and Fito Highschool."

"They have already mingled with the high levels of each campus who are still on the fence from their initial foolish neutrality. Now that they feel the helplessness, we can use this to catalyze their change from neutrality to apart of our influence!"

"The Kami Institute high level had already long ago become one of the student council's influences which is also the reasoning behind their huge financial resource in comparison to the other campuses. Now it is our chance to outplay them and turn the scenario into a 4v1 situation."

He clears his throat. "Alright, now it is time to initiate the decision making vote. Please raise your hands if you have any objection to dispatch Silent -1 and catalyze the expansion of our influence."

No one in the room raises their hand. "Alright. Then it's a go. Meeting dismissed." He taps a red icon with a -1 text on it on his mobile device. On the screens at Toukai Academy, Serin Institute, Houtei Academy, and Fito Highschool, four rank A espers appear. Each of the espers have a "-1" visible somewhere on their body. Be it on clothing or a tattoo. One esper for each academy. Each esper immediately utilizes a variety of abilities which are essentially a combination of melee and supernatural attacks.

***

Akeno sits in her office and takes a look at the monitoring at each of the campuses and had early dispatched numerous more teams to go assist the other campuses. At this time, she sees the appearance of these espers.

"The board of directors have started to make their move. Seeing how no esper is at Kami Institute, it is clear the this will be a 1v4 situation.."

Akeno was well aware that Kami Institute already has some subtle relations with the student council. Thus, the combat reports from the Apple like smartwatches are also being directly fed here. She has also sent for informing through the watch the estimated time arrival of backup.

Seeing the screen and situation that Feng Ye is in, Akeno sighs. "Perhaps, this is all I can do to help you."

"Immediately shield all public visuals on the situation at Kami Institute except for our own cameras." This will prevent the board of directors from seeing anything more of the situation.

Akeno had already tasked someone to analyze each of the espers that have suddenly appeared at the other campuses.

"Withdraw the student enforcer teams sent as backup to the other campuses. Their issues are about to be resolved. As for the Kami Institute, try to arrive as fast as possible."

It is clear that this is only the beginning of a 1v4 situation. The Kami Institute will be beset of the suppression of the other four campuses simply due to the division of camps. The board of directors have finally shown a part of their hand and will be able to quickly grasp the other four campuses.

"Troublesome times ahead…" Akeno rubs her forehead as she continues to monitor the Kami Institute situation along with the other campuses, with an emphasis on the abilities displayed by the four rank A espers.
