My System & My Academy of Superpowers

"Gwen?!" Ryan panicked, he sat on his bed and pulled the covers with his hands near his neck.

"Ryan..." she felt the urge to cry in his arms forever, 'I am sorry.' was all she could do right now.

"W- why? What?" he stuttered. Ryan noticed that Devon was absent too. 

Gwen started moving, she ran up to Ryan, jumped on his bed, "Let's go."

"Where?" Ryan pulled the covers. He was afraid of facing Gwen and Doc, but he never thought what would happen if they greeted him in his room, on his bed, in the middle of the night.

"Don't you hear the screams, shouts, the alarm of panic?" Gwen lifted her finger.

It took him some time to active his hearing senses, although the screams were so loud that anyone would be able to hear them.

"Yeah. I hear them," he declared, "What's going on? Is someone playing a prank?"

"For now, get off the bed. We should hurry up," Gwen grabbed Ryan's hand. 

She jumped off the bed with Ryan's hand in her hand. Ryan didn't get time to change, he was pulled off the bed in his pajamas. 

Gwen was wearing her tights and an oversized T-shirt. Ryan was wearing his track pants and a T-shirt over them. Actually, almost everyone was wearing these outfits. 

Ryan saw a sight full of chaos, uproar, hurry, panic as soon as he left the room. 

"Ryan? ….and Gwen?" Ryan moved his eyes to a familiar voice. 

Ryan made eye contact with Naomi, she quickly turned her eyes away. Her attempt to kiss him in the morning was still in her mind. She was not asleep either, she was continuously thinking about how mindless she was to make a move on Ryan without having any feelings for him.

She ended up giving Ryan the wrong assumption that she likes him or wants to indulge herself sexually with Ryan. 

"Naomi, thank god you are here." Gwen took a step forward, "You hear the chaos, actually, there are zombies on loose."

Their eyes popped out, Naomi started doubting her hearing. While Ryan, he was just surprised that yeah…. Zombies do exist too.

"Suddenly, our classmates turned into zombies…"

"What!" Naomi really did find it unbelievable.

"You know, undead with open wounds, gross skin, a foul smell, mindless yet fierce, brutal..."

"I know that," 

"Well, I don't know what's happening either but right now, running for our lives is important. The zombies are powerful nothing like they show in movies. They can use the Traits they owned before turning into a zombie.

"They are attacking other students, wardens, teachers. Almost half of the Japanese students on the floor are infected by the zombies and..."

"I know. I know..." Naomi grabbed her head, "Alright. Let's run,"

They got out from the corridor, came into the main corridor which led to the main plaza. 

"Yo guys, run." Devon waved his hand while running down the stairs, "They have gone mad, we should evacuate the building right now."

"Devon- where were you?" 

"I-" from behind him came a huge number of students. One of which was Rigid. 

"Haha, I could not believe we just met zombies up there!" Rigid laughed.

"I wanna have a look too-"

"Shut up, Ryan!" Gwen pulled him, "Let's run, man!" she took off running.

Naomi followed her, Devon and others were right behind them. 

The security, fire alarms broke out. Of course, to make it more chaotic, Ainz had ordered Henry to put off the alarms. 

"If we are doing this, let's do this properly. I want as many as deaths possible!" Ainz, on the rooftop, shouted. 

People from the Academy dying would only be an advantage for Ainz and the underworld. Times right now are desperate so if Ainz is able to kill every student, many Masters, wardens, staff…. That will only end up in the Underworld's favor.

"Boss, students are coming this way," Henry who was on the ground floor's entrance reported, "Shall I kill them all?"

"Don't. Right now, don't. Let everyone pass by but… don't let Ryan get out of the building." Ainz ordered.

"Deploying smoke bombs." his partner reported. 

Ryan heard an explosion before smoke clouds appeared ahead of them, behind them. 

"Don't stop. Zombies are using their Traits recklessly, elemental Traits must have hit something and caused a short circuit," Devon told as he took the lead.

'Zombies….?' Ryan thought, 'Wait… zombies? Haven't I already experienced this somewhere?' he thought while keeping up with everyone. 

'Zombies…? Brain-eating monsters. Brutal. Use Traits. We are in the Academy's dorm. Rooms, dark places…. Wait…. No way...' he came to a sudden realization.

"Ryan!! Come on!" Ryan was slowing his pace down, "Run!" Gwen kept shouting, pulling his hand in order to take him out of the building.

"Tch, tell him to run, Rigid, this building can catch fire anytime," Rosy said arrogantly. 

Ryan finally came to a stop, "Guys… you go ahead,"

"Huh?! What do you mean?" Devon came to a stop, Gwen, Naomi, Rigid, Rosy.

"Y- you all go ahead… I gotta change the future," 

'Change the future...? Don't tell me he had a dream about this too,' Gwen let Ryan's arm drop.

"Go ahead without me, I will catch up with you," Ryan started walking backward.

"I don't care," Rosy took off running.

"Hey!" Rigid ran off chasing Rosy. 

"Ryan… be safe." Naomi too realized what was going with him.

"Hm. Pete's still inside the building," images of Pete brutally eating Naomi and Gwen's chest appeared in front of him. 

Images of his gross mouth, rotten mouth, half cut open neck, a big hallow stomach with guts falling out. 

"I can't leave him. I gotta stop it from happening," Ryan increased his pace. 

"Guys, guys! Let's go!" Devon turned around with everyone. Students behind them had already evacuated the building. 

"Wait for me at the main gate of this dorm, I will be back!" With a jerk, Ryan turned 180 degrees and took off running at his full speed. 

Only Devon, because of his vampire instincts was able to see Ryan's quick movements, 'He has improved since the last time.' he bit his lips. 

On the other end, Henry and his partner were waiting to ambush Ryan as soon as comes out of the building to run out of the building.
