Ren flew directly above the sports field, where dense swarms of Dead Bodies roamed below.

"Hold on tight."

After a reminder, Ren's body plummeted rapidly.

Boom!!!

The ground shook violently! Dust rose everywhere! The entire school seemed to tremble. As Ren landed, he channeled all the force into the ground by manipulating vectors. The ground shattered, and all the surrounding Dead Bodies were crushed. When the dust settled, both of them were unharmed.

"What was that…"

Many people in the school noticed the commotion on the sports field. Saeko Busujima, who was leading a few people to evade the Dead Bodies, also heard it. She held a sharpened, blood-stained katana. Behind her followed four people, each carrying a homemade weapon.

"What's going on at the sports field? An earthquake?" The pink-haired Saya Takagi pushed up her glasses in confusion.

The blonde school nurse with surprisingly ample breasts, the dazed Shizuka Marikawa, tapped her chin. "An earthquake shouldn't end this quickly, should it?"

The orange-haired girl at the very back, Miyamoto Rei, seemed dazed, her mental state not very good.

Just as everyone was guessing what had happened, a very loud voice rang out from the direction of the sports field.

"Saeko Busujima! Exusiai and I are waiting for you at the sports field!"

"Huh!"

The three of them simultaneously looked at Saeko Busujima, wanting to know what was going on. Someone was looking for her at this moment, making such a loud noise. Weren't they afraid of attracting the surrounding Dead Bodies? Were they too stupid?

Unexpectedly, Saeko Busujima's pupils, glowing with a red aura, lit up, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

"I'm going to the sports field."

Leaving that sentence, after slicing down a Dead Body with one strike, she directly changed direction and headed towards the sports field. The remaining three looked at each other. That man, whoever he was, making such a loud noise, would surely attract many Dead Bodies. Wouldn't going there now be suicide? They hesitated whether to follow.

Finally, Saya Takagi gritted her teeth, her expression hardening. "Never mind, I would have died long ago without Senior Saeko. I'm going too."

With Saya Takagi leading the way, the other two also resolutely followed.

"You shouted so loudly, my ears are going to be deafened." In Ren's arms, Exusiai rubbed her ears, looking distressed.

"Haha, didn't I warn you? Come down now." This was just simple manipulation of sound waves. He set Exusiai down. Dead Bodies were already closing in again.

"Hmph hmph, Dead Bodies, huh? Let me show you what I can do, Apple Pie!" Exusiai pulled out two firearms and began to fire wildly. Every shot hit its mark—headshots with every bullet, one-shot kills.

Seeing that she could handle one side, Ren didn't bother with her. He dealt with the Dead Bodies on the other side himself.

Palm Thunder! He directly emitted black lightning from his palm, striking and killing a large group with one blow.

Exusiai pouted when she saw this. "Not only can you manipulate vectors, but you can also emit lightning? That's too unfair!"

"Don't get distracted." Ren raised a hand. A powerful gust of air blew away a Dead Body that was getting close to Exusiai.

"Oh, oh! Now is indeed not the time to relax. Overload Mode! Barrage!"

*****

"Damn Dead Bodies!"

Saya Takagi and the others followed Saeko Busujima, desperately cutting down Dead Bodies. Running all the way, they were almost at the sports field. Saya Takagi felt a little regretful, because many Dead Bodies were converging on their location. Any further, there would truly be no chance of escape.

Suddenly, Saeko Busujima in front stopped moving. She stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly ahead.

"What's wrong?" The three of them rushed forward. Then they too were stunned on the spot.

A circular mark had shattered the ground on the playground. The outer edge of the circle was piled high with the bodies of Dead Bodies. At the center of the shattered circle, a man and a woman were frantically slaughtering Dead Bodies. Only, their methods of slaughter were different.

The red-haired woman, with a halo above her head, wings of light extending from her back, and six, seven, or eight guns floating around her, swept across the Dead Bodies like a technological angel firing a barrage.

The black-haired man constantly released black lightning from his palms, bombing one group of Dead Bodies after another.

"Are they angels?" Shizuka Marikawa covered her mouth in shock.

"They look more like Psychics." Saya Takagi calmly analyzed after her initial surprise. She looked at Saeko Busujima: "Saeko, are they your friends?"

"Friends... yes." Saeko Busujima was also shocked to see Ren and Exusiai's abilities for the first time, but she was even calmer. She shouted loudly: "Ren-kun, Exusiai, I'm here!"

The two followed the sound and saw Saeko Busujima. "Okay, we'll be right over. Exusiai, follow me."

Northern Realm Azure Pond! The Five Thunder Rectification domain expanded. Black liquid spread across the ground, indiscriminately attacking approaching Dead Bodies. Black lightning and life force absorption proceeded in parallel. Bringing Exusiai, he ignored the Dead Bodies' obstruction and rushed to Saeko Busujima's side.
