Don't You Think It's Weird?

The other human classmates finally arrived near the girl and defended her. They called up to me.

"Gray, so happy you're here." "We need to help Athena and Althea now."

I gave them advice.

"Hit them in the head! It seems that they become unconscious after hitting them there! I think it's because of the headache from before that's making them unstable in the head!"

I looked again at the girls and saw that they are being pulled apart from each other. There were 4 dreads surrounding Athena and Althea. I want to get to them quickly, but I need to move carefully or I'll get tripped by the chairs.

I knocked another dread on the way. I was getting impatient. Their lives are getting more exposed to danger the longer I get to them.

"H...help! Waah..."

The dread was trying to rip the panties off Carol. But when it saw me, it stopped. It seemed like it changed its mind as it suddenly tried to bite her. Unfortunately, it was already in my striking range. I knocked it off before it could bite her.

I pulled her out of the way and continued. Two of the dreads surrounding the girls got close to me. I could see the dread holding Althea stripping her and the dread holding Athena opening its mouth about to bite her.

"Stop it!!"

I was almost there but there were two dreads between us. I hit one dread down.

Athena continued to struggle, so it gave me some time to knock the other one. But the mouth was already inches away from her shoulder.

(I won't make it.)

Time suddenly flowed slower. I was angered by the fact that I was just meters away from them, yet I couldn't reach them.

Kill!!!

Something screamed inside of me again. And suddenly my mind was getting calmer in this slow moving world.

I started swinging the bat. Everything was moving so slowly. I knew that at that distance, it won't reach the dread. And yet, I have the feeling that I can hit it... No, I know that it will land a blow to its head.

The flow of time turned back to normal. Suddenly, a shock was felt in my hands. It felt like the bat hit something. I stood still for a second and watched ahead of me.

"Kyaah..!"

There, the dread was blown to the side dragging Athena. I didn't have time to think and I swing the bat to the dread holding Althea. The bat knocked the dread off her and I threw it to a dread close to us. In the middle of the throw, the bat disappeared for just a moment and suddenly appeared in front of the dread's head dealing a blow to it.

I pulled both of them and hugged.

"Waah..." "Uwaah..."

Both of them burst into tears in my chest. I put strength in my embrace and held them even stronger. I didn't notice but I was also crying. I let go of the tension and fatigue suddenly creeped in on my body. My mind felt heavy and I wanted to rest, but I didn't let go of my embrace and said to them in a soft voice.

"It's okay... I won't let them hurt you..."

We stayed like that for awhile.

...

After a while, the other human classmates came to us. But I still didn't let go of them. They already stopped crying, but I didn't want to move.

The classmates started talking, I only turned my head around to look at them whilst still holding the girls. The girls were still buried in my chest, sobbing.

"You all alright?" -(Male classmate 1)

"Why did you think that we're alright, huh?!" -(Male classmate 2)

"Yeah! What the f*ck is even happening?!" -(Male classmate 3)

They were lively.

(It looks like they knocked all those dread classmates out.)

"Huh?! How would I know what's happening?! You abandoned us and ran outside!" -(Male 1)

"What? You want to have a go, huh?!" -(Male 3)

Two of the male classmates suddenly started fighting. Seeing that I shouted at them.

"Hey, stop that! Don't fight right now!"

But it was already too late. At first they were just pushing each other when suddenly one punched the other in the face. The other was knocked down.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, even the one who punched him.

"Stop fighting each other right now! Our minds are unstable because of the intense pain from earlier, we need to take some rest."

"But how can we rest at this situation? They might wake up again eventually." -(Male classmate 4)

Another male classmate asked.

"That's why we need to calm down and think of something."

The females are worn down emotionally, so I would like for them to take a rest. There are 13 of us here, 7 are girls and 6 guys. Thats what was left of us in the class out of 50 students. The classroom was spacious because there were many students in the class.

"Close the door, we will push the dreads out of the window. The girls will rest."

I said to them.

"Dread?" "That's what these monsters are called."

"That's just what I call them and don't call them monsters, they were your classmates."

Male 1 whose name is Almond, closed the door. The one on the floor was Lars, he was also the one who I met outside the classroom.

"Don't you guys think its a little weird that everyone is so calm?" -(Girl 2)

The girl, Wendy suddenly asked us.

"Yeah, I've been thinking that on the way here."

Athena and Althea calmed down some time ago. They looked up at me from my chest. I kissed them both on the forehead and finally let go of my embrace. They were both blushing.

No one paid attention to us, so there weren't any weird comments.

Everyone was busy, the boys moved the dreads close to the windows and the girls were tending to those who were raped.

"Thank you, Gray... I love you."

"M..me too, Gray... thanks for saving us."

They both thanked me and I became awkward. My face was red as I replied.

"Uh...yeah, I love you guys."

Seeing that the two each grabbed my arms and poked me at the sides with their free hands.
