"Oh!" I mumbled.

'Erm....'

I mumbled again.

"...."

I began to brainstorm ideas until a sudden bell rang.

RRRRIIIIIINNNNGGGGGG RRRRIIIINNNNNGGG

'Whats going on??'

I thought as i went outside the bedroom to my door to check.

Someone was fighting in the hallways.

'...'

I began to shiver and quietly went back to my dorm.

I clearly knew that if i disturbed anyone fighting in the hallways, I'd be dead.

'Why is someone fighting in the hallways when we just entered school yesterday...?' I thought for a moment.

'....I guess it's kinda normal since this place is for awakeners.' I muttered.

Sooner or later, The teachers came and finally stopped the fight from the hallways.

I was just listening to music from my earpods so i could avoid listening to the fighting noises outside.

Although I would've just sat on my dormroom chair and listened to music, But instead, I was still behind the door, Curious on what will happen.

Finally, There was chatting and muttering from the outside door.

I suddenly heard the mutter and put away the earpods.

Since I'm inside my dorm, i took a peek to see what's going on.

'Did the teachers stop them..?' I thought.

I opened the door slightly and peeked through the door.

Then, I noticed a familliar face.

'...'

'..hey...' I thought as I stood for a moment.

'Isn't she...The supporting character Raze Loir!?' I muttered.

Suddenly, The supporting character, Made eye contact with me by accident, The tip of my hair wiggled instantly to resemble a straight line for startle.

'Ack..!' I quickly closed the door.

'....'

'....That was scary..' I shivered.

I went back to my bedroom to think of the novel again.

'What should i do about the novel..?'

'I accidentally made eye contact with the supporting character...' I thought as i began to feel nervous.

'If i need to find a plan, i could.'

Actually, I didn't really realize that i was choosing a hard way to think on avoiding them, not knowing there is a really simple way to do so.

I was just clueless and dumb, that's what i was told back at home.. mostly from my siblings.

'My parents say I'm often forgetful, Now that i think about it.... i really am forgetful.' I thought as i just realized that.

I begin to wander around the dorm to think of an idea on what to do.

I walked around back in circles for a while.

'what if..no..'

'Maybe.. No not that one either.'

'Or maybe..??? no..'

'..'

'How am i suppos-'

Before I finished my sentence, i got knocked into a wall.

Hit!

Thump!

I fell down from the sudden hit.

'Ow...'

'I think i knocked into a wall..'

I blindly muttered.

I stood up and finally made a decision.

'I'll just wander around the school and think for some ideas.'

I honestly didn't realize it, But the plan was simple.

...

...But... I didn't thought of it, nor did i realize it.

I checked the outside door to make sure it's empty after that incident.

Afterwards, I walked out of the door.

As i wandered around the school hallways, I suddenly met a sociable person.

Obviously the person approached me shouting.

He was a normal student looking for newbie friends,

Thus an extra or a mob of the novel.

"Oi!!" A particular student shouted at me.

I stopped for a moment to see who was shouting.

"You alone right?"The student spoke as he slowly approached me.

"I guess.."

'Why is this guy approaching me for some reason?' I thought.

Student:"Wanna be friends?"

"Huh? oh..uhh." I stuttered for a moment from the sudden question.

Student:"I'm looking for newbie friends!"

He spoke enthusiastically.

"Oh..." I muttered.

I slowly nodded and decided to become friends with him.

And that's how i had my first friend.

"Hey Jacob!! Why are you running into that direction??"

The student turns around to see his friends running towards him and I take a glance to try and notice his friends.

Jacob:"Oh seems like my friends are here, Gotta go! and wait, my name is Jacob kain by the way! Yours..!?"

I became silent for a moment but decided to tell him anyway.

"My... name is johnson kim, or kim johnson. just call me kim for short."

Jacob:"Ok Kim!, see you around!"

"....Ok.. bye."

My new friend ran to his other friends and I became silent again for a moment.

'...'

'I wonder why he wants to be friends with me.. oh will.'

As i turned around to a different direction, I felt like that i have forgotten something.

'..uhh, What was i doing again..?'

As usual, I have forgotten what i remembered....

Just like at home.

It proceeded like this for a few moments.

I walked and wandered around the school and explored.

But...

I suddenly got lost.

'....'

"Where am i..?"

I went around in circles around the school for many hours. forgetting about the out-of-curfew rule that the teacher taught me.

Not even knowing the time and getting lost for several more times.

.

.

.

'....Why is this place suddenly got quiet???'

'Where is everyone??'

'How did i manage to find my classroom and dorm but got lost wandering around the school?'

I thought many questions inside my head.

I began to feel nervous and scared as i walked through the garden roses.

'.....'

'How the heck did i get here?!'

I felt panic.

Not knowing what to do, I decided to shout around to look for students as i ran around the school.

My shouts aren't really loud, since im not the type to shout at the quietest places.

I feel more at peace at quiet places and usually play the guitar or violen whenever i felt the quietness in the room.

But then again, I'm not the type to shout,

and i feel embarrassed because of it but i did not not have a choice.

"Hey!.. Anyone..?"

As i shout around the hallways, i finally came across a student.

"Hello..!" I shouted loudly but silently at the same time as i walked towards the person.

"Do you know where the dorms are?" I asked the student.

The student did not reply.

I suddenly got confused and asked again.

"Do you know wher-"

Before I finished my sentence, I suddenly felt a strike in the back.

"...."

I suddenly felt the urge to run away but couldn't.

Then, I felt something and immediately knew that this student isn't a normal student.

'....'

I stood in front of the student for a while,but i slowly approached the student to clearly glance its face.

I only took a quick look at it, only to be stunned from the students face.

The student's face had no eyes and mouth.

I wasn't so sure if this is the student's awakened powers.

But like any other normal person would do,

I backed away a few steps while stunned from the fear.

I wasn't sure on knowing what to do.

But I decided to turn away and run into a different direction as soon as possible before anything bad will happen.

As soon as i turned away quietly, The student or unknown creature instantly and quickly moved its head at amazing speed towards me.

I suddenly jumped and felt my eyes widened as i looked back at the creature.

The creature began to transform, the creature transforms into a disgusting gore like monster, the face that wasn't there, begins to transform into a creepy frown where the eyes has no eyes balls and the mouth has no teeth and the whole thing was blackish and voided.

The texture turns into greenish and blackish disgusting sludge liquid and the whole entire body began to melt

and slowly turns into a massive sludge.

I was frightened that i immediately activated my awakened powers.

Honestly, I should've run away when i knew the feeling, But i had to take a glance due to my curiosity.

My awakened powers was weak and once its shotted the enemy, it will take longer than 25 minutes to shoot at the enemy again.

I knew this and still shot the enemy anyway by using my powers.

Bang!

I shot a single melody to the creature

Unfortunately, the creature blocked the attack.

"....."I was surprised.

The creature, screamed at the highest vocal point saying "CURFEW, CURFEW!!"

"GO. BACK. DORM. NOW!!!"

The creature was so loud that it echoed through the hallways.

Luckily, I protected my ears using my mana from the screeching shout.

without hesitation, the enemy moves and runs towards me using amazing speed.

I instantly ran as fast as i could. fortunately, the speed between the enemy is equal.

I ran fast, using all the remaining mana.

"..huff!..huff.!"

I began to feel sweaty as i ran to different directions..

I ran for about half an hour until my mana was at its low point.

I was tired from running and finally

came across a sign saying "the students dorm rooms."

'...huff..huff.. huh..?'

I stopped for a moment before running into the hallways of the students dorm room.

The Creature charged at full speed and slides from the sudden direction.

Because of this, I had enough time to look for my dorm one by one.

'Where is it...Where is it..!!'

I panicked and finally,

I found my dorm.

the creature who was at a pretty far distance ran charging at me.

I finally found my dorm room, and i quickly went inside and locked the door.

"Huff....huff...huf..."

Tiredness and exhaustion spread throughout my body as i laid down on the floor.

The sigh of relief finally awoken.

"fina..lly....."I stuttered.

I was quite tired but had enough energy to slowly stand up from the floor and walk to my bedroom.

I laid down on my bed quietly.

This is a lesson learned:

Never go out during curfew time.

My shaken legs and shaken body finally calmed down as i laid down on my bed for a few minutes.

After that, i stood up from my bed.

i looked down to check my pockets.

i noticed a folded paper inside my pocket.

I took it and unfolded the paper.

It was a map.

'.....'

I forgot that i had a map in me this whole time..

I was dumbfounded.

'....'

'...so that's how i found my dorm and classroom.'

'...' I was silent for a moment.

I finally remembered what i was doing in the first place and why I'm wandering around the school late at night.

because of a simple distraction from a student who is now my friend, made me forget what i was doing in the first place.

I felt dumb and laid down on my bed again.

suddenly i got an idea.

'Oh!'
