The Crazies

After four years at the academy, it is safe to say that Dean has never killed a human being. 

Sure he's killed alien creatures during class field trips that served as combat training and teaching students why humans hunt certain alien monsters for materials. The materials by itself are mainly for Espers' weapons, clothing for special cases, and tools. Demand for those are quite popular as Espers make up for one percent of the human population, which is approximately 100 million people, since polygamy was quietly accepted into society for the past 100 years.

And that corpse-looking monster earlier? 

It was a zombielike entity that can't think reasonably and acted on instincts to kill. 

Now the unknown assailant in front of Dean was very much human, minus the rest of her features that make her....creepy.

Black eyes with red irises, same as the previous undead creature, but the red was glowing eerily.

Her face mutilated with claw marks and bits of torn flesh.

Her voice sounded demonic compared to Dean's brief memory of her.

The outfit she's wearing was torn in places revealing a sickly pale skin.

The young woman herself had red glowing veins all over her body including her face.

Overall with her disheveled blonde hair and appearance, she was anything but a normal human.

Worse.

She is or was a Esper student on this floor as Kat whispered the crazy woman's identity plus her powers to Dean.

Suddenly-

"Hey Kacy, what we got here?"

"I hear fresh meat appeared hehehehe"

Two of her male companions showed up standing behind her. Both have similar appearances to the young woman named Kacy. 

Their eyes locked onto Dean hungrily as if he was prey.

"OH IS THAT DEAN MCLOVIN!"

"Hahahahaha it's the virgin nerd."

"Ah fuck, can you two boys lower your voices, I can see that 'forever number 2' is in front of us."

While the three were bickering, Dean was very quiet with his expression never changing, but the appearance of three assailants caused his spine to tingle a bit alerting him of the sudden danger unlike the lone undead creature. His mind racing for a solution as he believed he wouldn't win the fight with the three without incurring injuries on his body. 

Reason why?

The three 'people' are able to think reasonably so they might still possess their powers when they were 'normal'. 

Whether they still possess their powers is unknown.

Truly the unknown was terrifying for any living beings.

After thinking of an effective strategy, Dean whispered, "Kat, can you access the front door?"

[Huh? Oh uh lemme see....yyyee....YES....lucky for us the door was manually left opened], Kat whispered back but raised her voice a bit mid-sentence then lowered it back to a whisper.

Though the slight raised voice alerted the three abnormal people noticing Dean was whispering to himself as he raised his sword ready. 

"Hey, why's the virgin whispering to himself."

"Is that a little holo pink bunny girl on his smartwatch?"

"Heh, the virgin nerd got himself a virtual girlfriend."

Undeterred, Dean whispered, "I want you to-

Kacy stepped forward past the front door.

"Too bad it's not real", Kacy said menacingly.

-shut the door behind her when she steps inside."

Kat, with a frown on her face, immediately shut the metal door and sealed it magnetically behind Kacy as she finished her rude comment.

Kacy turned her head back facing the door as Dean rush forward looking to incapacitate her.

"Well well...looks like the virgin wanted some alone time-"

Ting

A spear, made of pure light...no not pure light as it is corroded by pure darkness with red veins everywhere, materialized to block Dean's sword path towards her neck.

'Fast', Dean thought nervously.

"-with deary old me.", said Kacy with one free arm showcasing her strength to being at least C+ or higher compared to Dean's C-level strength. 

Another spear materialized from her free hand to stab at Dean but he backed off and parried the spear away. 

The other spear disappear as Kacy held one properly and continue her assault on Dean.

Xiu

Ting 

Kacy continues her offense as Dean parries blows seemingly while looking for any openings. Their stalemate continues with one continuously stabbing or slashing while the other deflects the attacks but Kat, who has known Dean for four years, knew something was wrong.

[Dean, stop holding back], she said seriously but it caused Dean to grimace slightly as he continues to parry incoming blows. 

"Hoh, your little fake girlfriend got a cute voice", said Kacy as she licked her lips.

"But I can still-

However before Dean could speak out, Kat quickly interrupted him with a reality check.

[NO YOU CAN'T....she's too far gone. The front door won't hold the other two much longer. So a 3 on 1 is not an ideal situation right now. So make a choice it's either them or us.]

It only took a moment for Dean to ponder his next course of action as he knew that Kacy was too far gone judging by her appearance alone. He planned on knocking her out and maybe finding a way to fix her and her companions. 

Alas Kacy and most likely the other two possess enhanced stats compared to their original form.

Dean backed off and sighed heavily, "Fine I won't hold back".

He then charge forward while Kacy was grinning devilishly to greet his attack.

[Good and-

Splaat

However, Kacy flinched as something stabbed her in the heart from behind.

-I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his best friend you crazy bitch], Kat said with one side of her small mouth curled upward. 

While Kacy's full attention was on Dean charging towards her, he stealthily used his power to lift the severed bone sword from the 'deceased' undead creature and stab her from behind. Kacy's corroded mind and the fact that Dean didn't use his telekinesis during the fight, despite everyone knowing it, guaranteed his win.

With a sword protruding out of her chest, Kacy slumped down as if all strings attached to her were suddenly severed.

Dean approached her cautiously, but Kacy only slouched on the hardwood floor, she then stare at Dean in the eyes but their was no hatred or madness in her eyes.

Instead, her eyes were filled with sorrow and relief.

Sorrow that her short life has just ended.

Relief that her short madness has just ended.

And then...

Kacy Anderson, 27th ranker of the 4th years, passed away with relief on her face in the end.

A/N: In the end, our main character could not fix her.
