Chapter 30: Even Geniuses Make Mistakes

After the announcement, the students began to yell as they ran through the hallways.

The infected began to appear and people began to die, it only took 5 minutes for the school to turn to hell. I'm amazed at how useless these people are, if they just stayed in their classrooms and secured the doors they could organize themselves and improve their chances of survival.

I wanted to search for useful talents but a message from Navi made me stop my search for talented women.

"Hey Listen! Two idiots and a busty girl came on the roof after asking for help! The teacher opened them while the writer refused! One of the two idiots looks hurt and he may be infected so come before the pair of milfs turn into dog food! " - Hearing Navi's voice in my head is too annoying, I can hardly stand it in my ear so I don't want to use this tactic frequently.

I led the pair of nurses in the direction of the stairs, I did not see anyone worthwhile so I ignored the screams of the students.

The real slaughter hasn't started yet and they are just a rowdy crowd so I can move forward without hitting them.

The pair of nurses wanted to help the students so I had to convince them that there were injured people on the roof which convinced them.

As I carried them to the roof I heard sounds of screams of pain and grunts, it seemed that things had started.

We got to the rooftop entrance and I called out to the pair of milfs, I knew they wouldn't hear about denying others entry, but I still have to feign silent disappointment. We don't know each other so scolding them will only make them feel attacked, instead it's better to use guilt to make them feel like they've let their savior down.

"Open the door, I'm Luis!" - I called them out loud which would also attract the infected.

This will be helpful in creating mental pressure from the danger they are in so that they will not disobey me again.

The door opened and I heard the sounds of an argument.

"Do not open it is dangerous!" - It was a boy's voice.

"Then we shouldn't open up to you !! Luis-san has saved us so we can't leave him !! " - I was surprised by the angry voice of Professor Kyoko, it seems that my performance saving her had a great impact.

Midori was the one who opened the door. Her face was pale as her body trembled, as soon as she saw me she reached out to hold the corner of my sleeve like a lost child finding her parents. I think she has developed post-traumatic stress disorder.

Behind me came the pair of nurses. I closed the door and used a little Hamon to magnetize the metal which would make it difficult for someone to open the door, if someone comes running to ask for help it will be difficult to open them and they will die before entering, I only open the door if it is someone who is worth the trouble.

The nurses began to check the people present. Shizuka seemed to be friends with Kyoko so they started talking about what was going on while Chizuru just nodded.

The students present were two men and one woman. One of the male students was injured in the arm with a bite mark, seeing the brown-haired girl's gaze shows that they are something of a couple however there is no real affection in the girl's eyes as she unconsciously glances at another student.

The other student is the lead candidate I saw when I got to school, from the way he looks at the brown-haired girl it's clear that he has feelings for her.

Stupid dramas, the world is ending and these idiots are in a love triangle. Although if the black-haired boy is the protagonist then the girl should be one of the main heroines which means that I will need her for the plot armor.

I had to use a great deal of mental energy to make an action plan with what little information I have at hand.

The dying boy looks like the heroine's boyfriend, the protagonist is a friend of the dying man while he loves the heroine, the heroine despite being with the dying man has unconscious feelings for the protagonist, the dying man sees the protagonist as his friend at the same time who loves heroin. Although I don't know what the stupid story is behind this, I already have something to work with.

The dying man is about to change, using subtle pulses of Ki and Hamon I can see his condition. As he ran over here I made sure to pay attention to the infection process.

It can vary from seconds to minutes, I do not know the cause of this, but seeing the deterioration of the brain activity of the dying person, they must have a minute at most.

This will not do, I need a more dramatic scene that makes me a hero in the eyes of all women while I stealing part of the limelight.

I left Midori behind to approach the dying man who was being checked by the nurses. The dying man and the protagonist were arguing about not wanting to become a monster, the dying man is aware that he is about to be converted, but the heroine does not want to abandon him.

I approached with a worried expression.

"How is he?" - I made a quick movement to inject some Hamon into the dying man.

Something interesting that I discovered is that these organisms are not undead, they actually have vitality and need the energy to function. It seems that the infection decreases the sense of sight while improving hearing and gives the ability to track the life force of living organisms limited to humans as they ignore animals.

When I used Hamon to strengthen my body while running, the infected pursued me more fiercely, only by using Ki they stopped being so insistent.

Ki is an internal energy that strengthens the body while Hamon is the vital energy that invigorates cellular activity. The Hamon is the ideal food for these beings which means that I will not be able to use it regularly to avoid attracting swarms of enemies, I will have to limit myself to Ki and Rasen.

When the Hamon entered the dying man's body, it writhed as his bones creaked.

"Back off!" - The pair of nurses backed off without hesitation which shows that they are already beginning to obey me unconsciously.

The protagonist just looked with a determined expression so I had to hug the heroine to push her away.

If I compare this guy with Kenichi I can say that he is the type of heroic protagonist who does everything to help his companions so he will take the burden of finishing his enemy to protect the woman he loves.

The protagonist cannot see that those actions will earn the girl's hatred. While the relationship between the two may be restored through teamwork, I will step in to steer the heroine's feelings in my favor in subtle ways.

If I am aggressive then it will be difficult to get other women without causing conflict since I can say that heroin is the annoying and irrational type of woman.

"Nooooo save him! They have to save him! " - The heroine screamed as she stirred like a worm.

Despite her pleas, she is not putting all her strength to escape, it seems that deep down she knows that her boyfriend has no salvation and helping him would be a useless effort, it is just that she refuses to accept reality.

The nurses looked nervous as they wanted to help the dying man, but Midori was pulling them away from the infected. Midori seems useful, maybe I can turn her into another Izumi.

The protagonist squeezed the metal bat in his hands, showing an expression of determination ran to hit the head of his friend.

"GWAAAAAHHHHH!" - The infected let out a strange growl as he moved his hand to receive the blow.

This is interesting, the Hamon not only stimulated his strength, it seems that it also helped him retain some of his instinct for self-preservation. Maybe I can create intelligent mutations with the Hamon.

"What are you doing Takashi ?!" - The heroine yelled with hatred at the protagonist named Takashi.

Takashi ignored her as he struck again at the infected.

The second blow was above the strength of a normal human, there is no sign that Takashi is a martial artist from what I can confirm, Takashi is one of the protagonists.

"What?!" - Takashi yelled in surprise when his second blow was intercepted again.

Although Takashi was able to break his arm, the infected responded with a kick.

With only a minuscule amount of Hamon the infected not only gained an instinct for self-preservation, he even remembered how to fight back. This is interesting.

Takashi was pushed a couple of meters away, the infected are instinctive and do not possess the human limiters that restrict all strength. Takashi was able to get up after coughing a bit which shows that the weft armor makes him a stronger human than normal.

Now that Takashi was away, the infected noticed the closest and loudest creature, the heroine.

The infected ran towards us at an abnormal speed. Strength, instinct, speed, and coordination, this thing is superior to the other infected.

"Be careful!" - I screamed for no reason as he took the heroin by the waist and evaded the infected.

I kicked the infected man's side while injecting him with another portion of Hamon.

"GWWAAAAHHHHH !!" - The infected was pushed away from us, then screamed again as his veins swelled. His strength had increased while his cellular activity was being stimulated.

He ran back to us in a crazed way. The protagonist wanted to fight, but the infected one was too fast.

"Kyaaaaa!" - The heroine screamed like a girl, it seems that this is common in this world.

I moved the broken table leg in my hand to stab the infected in the shoulder, using the impulse of the infected I took a step back while throwing the infected away while ensuring that the mouth of the infected will pass within inches of the heroine's face to scare her away.

The heroine in my arms was shaking in fear as I began to develop emotional trauma.

While the infected man got up again, I took the opportunity to hold the heroine's face. - "Flees! I will try to immobilize him! "

The heroine was too scared to react, she just clung to my arms while I activated the Hamon so that the infected only focused on attacking us.

"S-Kill him! I beg of you, just kill him! " - The heroine screamed in a tearful voice.

Done, I can finally put this stupid performance down.

The infected one ran towards us, I moved slightly and used the sharp side of the table leg to pierce the eye socket to reach the brain.

When the infected fell, the heroine hugged me while crying. The rest of the people in the place were silent.

What a damn waste of time, the good side is that now the heroine will see me as the most reliable person, I just have to solidify that mental image so that she feels that the only safe place in the world is by my side.

Selfish people usually hide their mental fragility, if someone with this type of attitude is pushed into a corner then they show their fears and dependency.

Although the hero saving the princess tactic is the most predictable and worn-out shit, it's way too convenient as long as you seize the opportunity.

With this I will begin my advance to obtain the heroine, as for the protagonist, as long as they are not in a formal relationship then the plot armor will not see me as an enemy, I have verified this with Kenichi and Miu.

I just have to avoid directly antagonizing the protagonist and I might even become his ally so that the plot armor protects me while troublesome things target only the protagonist.

Now I just have to solidify relationships with the women present.

The fact that Navi is flying around the protagonist while he laughs like a madman shows that things are going well for me.

"Hey Listen! Muahahaha you are a pathetic creature! Your waifu is being robbed and you don't realize it! Muahahahaha! " - Navi is definitely harmful to my few traces of humanity.
