12-Supplies

The Other Group began looking all around the Cafeteria. They noticed the closed-off doors that lead to the Main Hall and the School ground. The Cafeteria was quite big and can fit hundreds of students at once. After looking around the Cafeteria, The Students thought that it was now Secure. Stella looked at Arthur and Lilith. She then asks a question. "Are you two injured?" Arthur and Lilith shook their head, and Arthur answered her question. "We have been running for a while, so we are a little bit tired." Stella nodded after hearing them as they deserve to take a rest.

She originally thought that a Large Battle would start within the School ground. They were fortunate that Arthur and Lilith managed to solve the problem before a Bloodbath started. One of the Students walked towards the Kitcher of the Cafeteria, but Stella's voice forced them to stop. "Don't enter the Cafeteria. It might be dangerous." Stella didn't drop her guard down. She was paranoid about everything as she saw her Students being ambushed yesterday.

One of the Stronger Students nodded and entered the Kitchen. He looked around carefully and found that it was clear of Undead. After looking around the kitchen, He went back to the Cafeteria and spoke. "The Kitcher is Clear, and there is no Undead inside it." The Group nodded and began entering the Kitchen at the same time. While the Group was clearing the Kitcher, Arthur asked for something from the Group.

"Do any of you have Reserved Bags?" Arthur asked as he wanted supplies for Lilith and himself. One of the students nodded and gave Arthur a Big Bag. A Bag wasn't that rare in the School, and it was easy to find one. "Thanks," Arthur was thankful that they had a reserved Bag for him. They opened the bag and found nothing inside it. It was clean and was also clear of Undead Blood. The Students took care of their bags as it was where their Supplies would go.

"They are a good group..." Arthur said as he stood up from the floor. "You're right. They are cautious and work as a Team. They also have a good leader such as Teacher Stella leading them." Lilith said while giving praise to the group. Although her voice was soft and silent, It was clearly heard by the Other Group checking in the Kitchen. After many investigations, The Kitcher was clear, and it was time to check the Food Storage.

The Two of them then walked towards the Kitchen and found the Other Group staring at the Door leading to the Food Storage. The Food Storage contained the supplies they needed. The Supplies would help them survive in this Apocalyptic World. Arthur needed the Supplies as he would go into a Long Journey in the Next Region within the North. Arthur looked at the Food Storage Door as Stella tried to open it with the Keys.

Arthur and Lilith looked at Stella opening the Door of the Food Storage. After Stella open the Door leading to the Food Storage, They found themselves looking at the Darkness. Stella calmly activated the Lights of the Food Storage. The Bright Light illuminated, and the Darkness disappeared. They found themselves within a Paradise that contained all the Supplies they needed. "Take what you need to take," Stella said as the Students began packing food for their Bags.

Arthur looked around the Food Storage and found Can food. Can Foods were the Supplies that could last longer than most of the foods. They were useful to have than normal food as it was harder for them to rot. Lilith began packing everything they needed onto the Bag. Canned Beans, Peanut Butter, Energy Bars, and Water Bottles. It took a while for her to take everything they needed.

"That should be enough for our journey," Lilith said while Arthur looked over. He nodded in agreement that it was a good supply for a Week of Journey. The two of them walked out of the Food Storage and sat on the remaining chairs. Arthur was the one carrying the Food Backpack while Lilith carried the Crystalized Cores Backpack. The two stared at the ceiling as they didn't know what to do other than wait for the students to finish.

"Well, That was quite easy," Lilith said while staring at the Ceiling. "You're right. I expected something better." Arthur also spoke with a calm tone. The Whole Operation managed to go through without any problem. Although the Group of Thugs appeared, They still weren't a problem. They only gave Arthur and Lilith more information about the Underworld and the current reality.

"What do you think should we do with the Stonefrog Gang?" Lilith asked as having a Gang chasing them might be annoying. Arthur, hearing Lilith's question, thought about it. What should they do about the Gang? Arthur wanted to avoid the Gang, but since they killed the Gang's Little Brother. They would probably get hunted down. They should leave at Noon and leave the City tomorrow. It was a simple plan for the two of them.

"Hmm... Avoiding them, for now, should be a good idea. The First thing we need to do is to get stronger. The Second Thing we need to do is to have someone backing us. And the Third Thing we need to do is to terminate them from existence." Arthur answered Lilith's question. It was a simple plan, and Arthur wasn't planning on leaving any Enemy alive. He would wait and strike for a good moment to exterminate his enemy.

"A Simple Plan," Lilith said while remembering the Cores they had. Most people would think that it was crazy to eat something that comes from the Brain. They would probably avoid the Crystalized Cores, and it would take months for people to realize their uses. The two of them could even manipulate some people into giving their Cores to them for supplies. The Word was simple, and it was easy to manipulate. Lilith wondered if Arthur would capitalize on it.

"You must be wondering about Capitalizing on the Cores. I'll be honest, I plan to capitalize on the Cores, but it is still too early to Capitalize the Cores." Arthur said while Lilith nodded in understanding. Patience was something they needed, and they would wait for the right time. Even if someone knew about the cores, It would take a lot of effort and time for all survivors to accept it.

"We're finished on taking the supplies needed. Are the two of you sure of your choice?" Stella asked as they would probably leave the School on this day. There was no need for them to stay near the City. Many thugs would probably enter this place, and it would probably get dangerous. Arthur and Lilith nodded together as there was nothing they wanted to take from the Food Supplies. "The two of us already got what we need," Arthur said.

Stella nodded and locked the Food Storage. The Female Students and the Male Students were carrying two to three bags each. They were quite serious about taking food. After all, they were a group of seven people. They would last long with One Bag. Arthur and Lilith then climbed through the Stairs and found themselves passing the Second Floor. The Second Floor was devoid of zombies. The Other Group probably killed them.

They passed through the Second Floor without any problems and reached the Third Floor. The Other Group was heading towards the Faculty while Arthur and Lilith wanted to find their own room. They don't want people to be hearing their noises in the backroom. Stella noticing Arthur and Lilith leaving them, Wanted to ask a question. Before she could ask, Lilith already spoke about it.

"The two of us want to do something alone so we won't bother you about it," Lilith said with a calm tone, and Stella forced her mouth shut. The Other Students were lamenting on where they could find such boldness. Stella sighed, and the Other Group continued on their way towards Faculty. Before the group could leave, Arthur asked Stella an Important question. "When do we leave?"

"Noon," Stella answered as the Group entered the Faculty Room. Lilith and Arthur continued on their way and found the principal office. It was strange that the Other Group didn't enter such a place, but there was probably no need to separate their group. "This should be a good room," Arthur said while Lilith nodded in agreement. Arthur opened the Room and found themselves in a Luxurious Ancient Modern Room.

The two of them entered the room. It was quite clear, and it had a calm atmosphere within it. The Curtains blocked some of the sunlight, and it created a beautiful scene. "When did the principal become this rich?" Arthur asked in surprise as he didn't know what to say. Lilith was not surprised by such a room as she was already used to seeing something that looked like it. The two of them placed their backpacks on the table and began investigating around the Room.

"He has a Small Library of good books, His table looks expensive, and his accessories all over the Officer are quite beautiful. I doubt that he's a normal person." Arthur said while looking around the Principal's Office. Lilith was in silence as she peacefully walked around the Officer. She arrived at the Curtains and opened a bit of it. She was then surprised at what she saw from the Window.

"Arthur, Look at this," Lilith said with her soft voice. Arthur looked at Lilith with a curious expression and found her looking through the window. He was curious at what she saw, so he walked towards Lilith. Arthur arrived behind Lilith and also peak through the Window. He looked at the Window with no change of expression. Lilith was looking at him during this moment. She wondered what kind of person Arthur was to have that kind of expression. A Cold and Distant Expression.

The Two of them calmly looked through the window, and they saw the City in its Full Scale. Lilith never thought that she would see such a sight. The Buildings were in Flames as their Black Ashen Smoke covered the Skies. The Bright Flash of Explosions, Gunshots, or Bombs were seen everywhere within the City. She wondered if they could easily survive the Apocalypse if they roam the Outside Apocalypse World.

Arthur had a different reaction to the Scene of a Burning City. It brought him bad memories, and bad memories make him Cold and Distant. After all, He was the Man who sometimes burned cities to the ground when the Job needed to. The Black Smoke and the Fiery Crismon Flame were quite nostalgic. He looked at it as its Fires reflected onto his Blue Azure Eyes. Before Arthur could continue looking at the burning city, Something happened.

"You should stop looking at the City," Lilith said while closing the Curtains. She noticed a strange feeling that something bad would happen if Arthur continued looking at the City. "It must have reminded you of your Past. I can see it from your eyes. I hope you remember to not abandoned your Present and Prepare for your Future within this Reality." Lilith said with her soft voice. Hearing Lilith, Arthur got out of his Entrancement.

"Sorry, I never thought that I would let my past affect me," Arthur said while trying to think about what happened. Did he look at the Burning City as if it was an Art? He never thought that he would look at the Burning City like that. He didn't want to fall into such dangerous thoughts about such things. He calmed himself and smiled. "I'm sorry again for giving you a Problem." Arthur apologized once again, and he was thankful for Lilith's interference.

"Why are you sorry? Aren't we partners." Lilith said with a smile. Arthur shook his head as he walked towards the Backpack with the Crystalized Cores. It was time for them to get stronger to increase their chances of survival in this Apocalypse World. They were Partners, and the stronger they become, the closer they get. In the future of their lives, What would happen?

Their adventure has just begun.
