She produced the flame again her eyes in a strange peace,she looked like someone waiting to die.
Ah how much is too much i can't keep going anymore i want to sleep to get done with this still not yet a bit more just another step and everything will be done.
Still that was a hell of a big step.
She putted her flame and touched the floor she maked it slow enough for anyone to react even the shadowy monsters. Still if someone was to slow they would surely die well she wouldn't be the first person to kill a human even in accident. Save thousands lives sacrificing one yea i will take it even if that one is mine even if the one life didn't want it i would force my will to it because i can and so i will.
Unfortunately for her Alosious had other plans still not getting his hands of her shoulders he secretly gave her his energy. Sorry but i'm going to need all the hands i can get, and i still need your services whether you want to or no.
So the flame pierced the floors reaching the ground and as soon as it did Nolia fell flat to the ground closing her eyes.
Are you still alive there? Alosious asked with nonchalance.
Somehow...someway.. still i can't lift a finger tho...
Good, Chief take her out and get her to the hospital i will handle things here.
Then he looked down, she didn't lie when she said that her fire could reach to the bottom floor. It was one thing to pierce the defences and another to do it in a 12 meter tall building while battling for consciousness.
He silently vowed to not let her determination go to vain he couldn't save the dead so he would save however managed to stay alive.

He took a breath letting it seep in.
THAT'S BECAUSE BOTH SCHOOLS GOT ATTACKED THE DEATH TOLL WITHIN THEM UNBEARABLE FOR ALL. SO I ASK WILL YOU RUN WHILE OUR FUTURE OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS GET KILLED I ASK ARE YOU SO HEARTLESS THAT THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE HERE IS TO GET A PAYCHECK UNCARING FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS GRIEF. Well if that's the case i sincerely regret taking you in our guild.
Now excuse me but i need to leave however wants to help can go to either school. As for me i will bear the hard mission and go to the town hall gathering everyone in a unified front. Leaving the fate of my family in your hands.
Everyone heard this after all there was no sound to stop it. They were battling shadowy and so the clashes bore no sound.
Everyone maked the same decision. It wasn't hard to make it anyway. Using their elements they runned with all their might to both schools.
The rescue mission went as you would expect it.
As soon as the adventurers reached the private school they saw the railings of the doors and the perimeter of the school get besieged by at least 300 of the monsters, meanwhile inside loud explosions and violent whistles of the air could be heard.
The adventures here were around 50 while the combat ready teachers of this school shouldn't surpass 30.
Still now that the adventures had the strategic advantage the fight was a forgone conclusion. Attacking them from both behind and front the creatures felt a suffocating pressure for their first time in their lives.
Everyone spent everything they had to kill as many as quickly as possible not caring about hiding their power it wasn't time for that anyways. Because of that the fight didn't last more than 10 minutes with humans the resounding victors. Still the adventures helped the entire school riding any creature dumb enough to face them. Since they have learned their weaknesses the second one tried to run they trapped the area in a sphere of light. Only the dark monstrous hyenas could escape due to the piercing quality of their tentacles so the adventures focused on them first. Exterminating the ones already in the school took a lot longer it was a different matter to simply fight them and another to find them and catch them.
Still compared to the public school they private one fared a lot better. Barely anyone died and even though the kids would definitely become scarred for life they at least where alive. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for the other school.
The second the adventures reached the public school the mass majority of them absurdity stopped and puked. The ones that didn't fought with all their self control to not join their peers.
By now most classes were done exterminating the monsters and were more busy cleaning the mess. And what a mess that was countless bodies were being piled creating a hill of death. The kids who survived were being led to the farthest building from the pile, still they weren't even halfway done the school had around 1500 kids and at least 130 teachers.
Now well let's say the numbers didn't do justice for what the 35 adventurers had to witness, the kids barely numbered 800 and the teachers numbered 50. In conclusion the 780 human lives were lost today and the worse part most of them were of children.
Some people passed down, while others puked again, eventually all of them went to the building the survivors were gathering. What they saw make them shiver from fright.
All eyes of the survivors were looking dead clearly losing their will to live. Some faces of the children were deathly pale, the teachers didn't fare better instead of trying to cheer up the kids they looked ten times worse some even had a knife in their necks crying.
This is too much noone of them here could think of anything to say they were tired mentally not even wanting to move. And they were just observers noone of them could even imagine what the people who lived through this felt.
What are we supposed to do? Noone talked the just watched unable to think. So things changed without them noticing. While the people who gave up or were too tired were here. 10 teachers did the work of at least cleaning the school of the past horrors, it took a lot of time and effort and it was a job that couldn't end on a single day but the 10 teachers spared no expense and used their elements, bodies and minds to come up with the fastest most efficient way to be done with it. Their determination turned a work of weeks into a job well done in hours.
Asmina stood on the ground dead tired still she couldn't look away from the enormous pile, it was her failure and shame a painful reminder that this wasn't a dream and that she failed to keep her oath of protecting all the kids with her life.
Still even though both schools were free for the monsters the same couldn't be said for the mall and market.
