"Aiden!"
The moment I heard my name, I was snapped out of my thoughts. When I quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, I found a girl, Celine, running toward me.
Her hair was tangled. There were cuts and blood stains on some parts of her clothes. Her face was not as scared as the other students, but clearly terrified.
Having been the target of countless assassinations since childhood, she had a certain tolerance for blood and brutality, but what had happened at the academy was too much, too sudden, even for her. She didn't look too good, but she wasn't bad either.
At least she was alive.
I paused for a moment, then clenched my teeth and my fist.
This is all my fault, I know I'm guilty, but now is not the time to freeze.
I should at least try to keep the survivors alive and not die myself. Isn't that the best thing I can do in this situation?
