Chapter 2 - Infection

---Three Days Later---

Dropped off by personal security detail, a necessity for anyone directly related to a foreign dignitary, I was greeted by Saya by the front gates. Giving me a complex look I told her that my father required the detail after an incident in Spain where I was held at gunpoint by a disgruntled citizen from a country we were at war with. Of course I took care of the situation, but ever since then my father insisted that I have a security detail when in public.

"So does that mean they follow you everywhere?", she asked me.

"Yes...they taste my popcorn and soda at the movies, check my packages for explosives, and stand right outside the bathroom stall.", I sighed.

"That's rough...", she said pitying me.

"It is what it is.", I told her, "Fortunately I don't have to worry about that at school since we have guards around here."

"You mean a bunch of overweight teachers with rulers?", she snickered.

"Don't tell my dad that...or I will have the detail here too.", I instructed.

"Noted.", she stated with a smirk, "Let me start with introducing you to another guy first, I am sure you want some guy friends right? Talking about perverted-"

"Military Boarding School, remember? They separated us by gender, and we hardly ever left the grounds.", I told her, "Where would I find a time and place for perverted stuff?"

"...you are a boy, I am sure you found a way.", she teased.

"Ugh.", I groaned, "Either way, let's meet this guy friend of yours."

Walking into class with her, I saw Takashi, Rei, and Hisashi already in class.

'So Takashi is the one you want to show me...', I thought examining the classroom, 'Takashi is weak willed guy that never really had a serious plan, just guts. He was too emotional, and is more of a liability than anything else. While he is good with a bat, he doesn't have any skills that would be of use to me when the world goes sideways. Hisashi is the same way, no point in saving this loser either...Kohta is probably the only guy I am willing to save when Z-Day happens here at the school. He has firearm knowledge along with a lack of remorse from killing, due to trauma of being harassed all his life by bullies. Getting him on my side is easy...I will just beat the shit out of the bullies, and show him I want to be friends with him. He may be a geek at the end of the day, but...he is someone that I can trust to have my back.'

Walking me over to the three of them, Takashi was already in his self-loathing state since Rei was dating Hisashi. The fact this idiot couldn't tell the girl he likes his feelings just pissed me off. Even if she said no, he would have still been able to move on. The fact he was already acting depressed made me want to vomit. I could see it also pissed Saya off too, she had been holding a crush for him since they were younger so it made sense.

'Stop being a bitch, and tell her you like her. If you don't don't blame me when I take her. She is a talented fighter with excellent potential in the field, and is someone I would happily date without a second thought.', I thought, 'Since Hisashi is a dipshit and you are a pathetic waste of space, I will start winning her affections over. Shouldn't be too hard given the fact both of you only have guts, and no talent.'

"This is Takashi, he and I went kindergarten together.", Saya told me.

"Nice to meet you, names Victor Smith.", I said him with a polite bow.

"Nice to meet you.", he said blowing me off.

His reaction pissed the two women off, but I honestly didn't care. I wasn't much for NTR, as I felt bad for the poor guys, but this guy refused to tell his love to Rei. Too me, I didn't see it like I was stealing her from him, just giving her a better option than him...fuck you dipshit. As for Hisashi...you are just fucking fodder man, you are just as bad as your friend here.

"This is Rei Miyamoto, she is a member of the Spear Club.", Saya stated.

"I apologize for his behavior.", Rei told me glaring at Takashi.

"It's fine Miss Miyamoto, I assume something must be troubling him.", I replied brushing his rude behavior aside, "You are practitioner of the Art of the Spear, that is quite a feat."

"Thank you, I am not that good yet but I am working on it.", she said with a beaming smile, "What about you?"

"I have been trained in unarmed combat, and with primitive, medieval, and modern weapons.", I answered, "A jack of all, and master of none as it were."

"Oh!", she gasped, "So you can use a spear too?"

"Yes, I had the opportunity to train in Italy.", I said, "Also got to meet a master from your nation, a man named Hayato Samson."

"Yes!! He won the national tournament four years in a row!!", she stated with a giddy smile, "You got to train with him!! That is so cool!!"

"It was quite the learning experience.", I chuckled remembering the feeling of being smack around the mat by him.

"That is really cool you got to meet him before he retired.", she said with envy, "You interested in checking out our club?"

"I can check it out, but due to the level of training I have I can't join.", I told her, "The staff would frown upon it if someone trained to...well you know, were to fight students with a weapon."

"I can introduce you, and maybe you could give a demonstration?", she inquired with a smile.

"Sure, I can do demonstrations.", I agreed.

"Perfect, let me let the others know to expect you. Usually the only boys that show up are ones look to catch us in compromising positions.", she complained looking at Hisashi like a useless bum.

"I know...the photography and newspaper clubs are the worse offenders.", Saya sighed with disgust.

"If you want I can have a word with them.", I suggested.

"That would be great...some people don't take our complaints seriously...", Rei said looking at Takashi as well.

"I tried talking to them, but they just-", Hisashi started to say.

"They are taking upskirt pictures, Hisashi! You should be getting mad about it!", Rei scolded him.

"I am not the violent type Rei, you know that. I'd rather talk things out with them instead of-", he tried to remark.

"I will take care of it before meeting you at you club today.", I promised her, 'You are garbage man, Rei is a beauty and you are letting sleazy guys take jackoff pictures of her!? Weak willed men like you are trash, a real man would have put the fear of god in them to protect his woman.'

"Thank you, at least someone is acting like a man. Neither of you do!", Rei spat giving me a smile.

Hisashi sighed, and Takashi didn't say anything. Both of these idiots weren't worth my time so I waited for the teacher to show up. Introducing me as the son of the new US Ambassador to Japan several of the preppy girls gave me a look of desire. I was the biggest guy on campus and a foreigner to boot so it was too be expected.

'Beauty isn't going to gather food, purify water, defend camp, or do anything useful.', I thought while keeping a friendly smile, 'Bimbos are fodder, they are going to be killed easily and too many young men are going to sacrifice themselves for just a pretty face. The girls aren't even going to remember their names. The only way I am going to save them is if they happen to show up on the way or actually impress me with their efforts to better themselves.'

"Have a seat next to Miss Takagi.", the teacher said.

Nodding my head I took my seat, and quietly listened to the lecture.

---End of School Day---

Hanging back a few minutes to give the pervs a chance to get into position, I stood above them in the school building and took photos of their actions.

"What are you doing? I thought you were going to stop them not join-", Rei started to say.

"Call this insurance.", I told her with a smirk, "They either leave you all alone, or I give the principal the photo of them sneaking pictures."

"Is that blackmail?", Hisashi questioned with a worried look.

"It's insurance against them stepping out of line again. Blackmail infers we get something in return of value. All we get is the sport clubs not having pervs snap photos.", I sighed, "I honestly don't see why you are complaining. Your cute girlfriend is having pervs snap pictures of her panties, and you aren't the least bit pissed off."

Giving me a pleased smile, Rei appeared to appreciate the compliment.

"Well...I mean how bad could it be?", he asked.

"They could post it online, and in a matter of days pervs around the world have her picture. Use your damn head man, what do you think they will do with the photo?", I snapped, "Besides, whose to say they aren't selling those photos to other young men here at school? Do you enjoy having scumbags ogling your girlfriend?"

Leaving it there, I went down to confront them. Trying to deny any wrong doing I showed them the pictures, and one of them flew into a fit of rage. Going to attack me, he found himself on the ground with my knee in his back.

"Listen very carefully, do you know the charge for attacking a foreign diplomat's child is? Apparently you want to spend hard time behind bars as someone's bottom bitch. Let me make this crystal clear, snap another picture of them without written or verbal consent, and I will turn you in. This is the only chance you have, take it or leave it.", I told all of them in Japanese, 'I despise using my father's name, but in cases like these it comes in handy.'

Erasing their photos, the boys bolted like scared children. Dusting myself off I looked back to see Says and Rei give me a nod of approval.

"Why couldn't you have done that?", Rei asked Takashi and Hisashi.

Not really having an answer, Takashi simply walked away and Hisashi just apologized like a moron. Taking me to her club after that, I got to meet her club members who were all relatively skilled combatants. They were all also attractive girls that didn't need to use fifty pounds of makeup to make a good first impression. There were only six of them, but I could make use of them in the future.

"This the new student?", the Captain of the Club asked Rei.

"This is Victor Smith, Nina, he just solved the perv problem.", Rei told her with a smile.

"Oh really, no more needing to search the locker rooms for cameras?", Nina laughed, "We will see, so what brings you here? Here to watch us train?"

"Victor trained with Master Hayato.", Rei informed her.

"Really!?", the other club members shouted running over to me.

Showing them photographic proof of our interaction, I even showed them a spar session I did with him. Applauding the video, Nina tossed me a spear and told me to fight her. Telling her that I was forbidden by the school from doing so, she decided to ignore me and attacked anyways. Dropping my spear, I grabbed her spear just behind the tip, I pulled forward, grabbed her face with my free hand, and slammed her into the mat. Staring at me in shock, she then gave me an excited grin.

"Unarmed takedown, interesting.", she laughed as I helped her up, "You should join the club."

"I can't, my father and school forbids it. In the US my level of weapon skill is registered with the government.", I chuckled bragging about being registers as a lethal weapon.

"You could at least stay to provide us pointers.", a few of the girls stated.

"Archery Club might want help too.", Rei said, "Instead of participating...maybe you could help us get better?"

"As like a coach?", I inquired, "I can do that."

"Perfect!!", the girls giggled as their breasts lightly jiggled.

"Alright you lot, it's club time not social hour.", Nina spat, "Grab your gear, and get warmed up!!"

Over the course of next two years I ended up helping the Kendo, Archery, and Spear clubs with their practicing. I wasn't complaining though, I got to meet Saeko and ended up dating her within a few months of meeting. Since her dad had professionally trained her, I was allowed to duel her by the school and my father. She won our first few duels, but after a few weeks I started beating her consistently which pushed her to try harder.

In addition to that, I made contact with Kohta and took care of his bully problems. After that he and I got a long very well, and I got to meet his family...as to how he could have those parents and end up looking like this was beyond me. Either way I befriended him, and made sure I would have him as my ally when the time came. I would make sure I saved the mall security guard for him, they'd make a cute couple in my opinion and under that shy personality was a warrior.

By the time Z-Day drew near, I had all of my allies befriended and my plan laid out. Having my necessities in my storage I would be ready for at least the first few weeks, but after that it was up to me to collect supplies.

---Z-Day---

Waking up par the norm, I cracked my neck and got out of bed. Tossing spare clothing, my pillow, and other belongings in storage I got ready to leave. If my memory was correct shit hit the fan not too long after the day started, so I would show up late.

Texting Saya, Rei, Kohta, Nani, and the other club captains that I would be late, I went out to the kitchen to get breakfast. Strangely no one was in the embassy this morning which was confusing. Finding a note from my father, he wrote me he had to go to the Okinawa base to meet someone and that I would need to drive myself to school since he took the security teams with him.

'How convenient, the day the world goes to shit you vanish.', I thought tossing the note in the trash, 'Makes me wonder what your involvement is with Umbrella Corp. If you have the slightest involvement...I won't hesitated to put a fucking bullet in your head. I have several women in my life I would kill for without any hesitation.'

Deciding to steal the leftover munitions and weapons we had, I stayed inside to wait for shit to get crazy. Not long after class would have started, I heard people screaming outside.

"Welcome to High School of Dead Modified!!", a screen popped up on my HUD, "May the fortunes be ever in your favor!"

'This isn't fucking Hunger Games.', I thought, 'That lousy old man really dropped me in this shithole...well, here we go.'

As the noise was steadily increasing, I called Saya who answered almost immediately.

"You realize we are in class, right?", she lectured me.

"Get Takashi, Hisashi, Rei, and yourself on the roof now. Something is going down in the city, and people are killing each other.", I told her.

"Is this some kind of-, she started to say before seeing I was wanting to video call.

Switching to video chat the tone of her voice changed.

"I...I understand. Where are you?", she asked nervously.

"Still at the Embassy, I am heading your way to get all of you.", I told her.

"Be careful.", she said before hanging up.

Calling the others as well, I made sure they got their asses in gear before I ran out the door. Our residence was on the outskirts of Tokyo, about twenty minutes away from school by car, so taking an SUV was a must. Taking a set of keys from the security room, I got in the car and got the hell out of there.

Flying down the street as people ran around like idiots, I focused on getting to campus. Having instructed the three clubs to get their equipment, I knew they should be able to secure the roof at the very least till I arrived. My biggest worry was them gathering the equipment, till they had weapons in hand they were sitting ducks. Fortunately my warning should have given them a head start to get their stuff, how much of a head start...well we would see how far they could get.

---High School---

"You sure he isn't playing a prank on us?", Hisashi asked running down the hallway.

"Victor doesn't lie about life or death situations, and beside he showed Saya what's going on in Tokyo.", Rei told him, "Are you saying Saya is also lying too?!"

"Stop being an idiot, and just hurry up.", Saya huffed at him, "God I forget you and Takashi are freaking idiots sometimes."

As they were running up to the roof, they ran into Kohta and the Archery Team. Not far behind them were the other two groups I called. Only a few moments after joining up, they heard the announcement over the PA and the screams of the staff member as he was torn apart.

"Now do you want to believe him!", Saya snapped, "We need to get to the roof now!!"

Agreeing to that, they ran up to the rooftop and barricaded the door. Once they secured it, Saya took her phone out to make a call. As she was awaiting me to pickup, everyone heard the pounding on the door as people were screaming to let them out.

"We should open the door!", Hasashi shouted.

"Victor said keep it closed!", Rei and Saya retorted, "We don't know if those things are among those people. Right now we are safe!!"

"You are just going to let them die!?", Takashi argued, "Fuck that guy, we need to help-"

"I would be very careful what you say about Victor.", Saeko said pointing her wooden sword at him with murderous intent, "He warned all of us, and we got here before things got crazy in there. The door stays closed till he let's us know it's safe to leave."

"You...you all are crazy!!", Hisashi remarked, "Those are our classmates that are dying in there!!"

"Enough!!", the club members shouted pointing their weapons at the two of them.

"Victor bought us a chance to live by warning us.", two of the boys from the Kendo club stated, "If you two are going to take our security away, we will toss you off the roof."

---10 Minutes Out---

"This is Victor.", I stated answering the phone.

"We made it to the roof, how bad is it out there?", Saya asked as I heard the arguing in the background.

"Look down at the city, the whole place is a madhouse.", I told her.

Looking down at the city, I could hear her gasp as well as everyone else. Knowing that she was going to panic I told her to take a deep breath.

"I am coming to get all of you. I have weapons and armor from the Embassy, stay on the rooftop till I get too you. I will use the knock code you and I made for emergencies.", I said calmly as she put me on speaker, "I took one of the Embassy SUV's, it's not going to fit all of us. Look around for options to transport us, and anyone we can save on our way out. We are not going to sweep the whole school for survivors, there is no time for that."

"Uh...", Saeko said looking down at the bus, "We can take the transport bus we use for competitions."

"Good, the keys are in the facility room right? Once I get to you we will get the keys, and leave. I can drive a stick shift so don't worry about driving.", I told them as I plowed through a group of walking corpses.

"How far are you away?", Takashi asked.

"Ten minutes, I need you all to stay there till I arrive. Don't play Hero, from what I can tell the infected are stronger than your average person. Don't engage them in a physical fight, use the weapons you gathered to defend yourselves.", I ordered, "Also, it appears their bites spread whatever infection they have rapidly. I am seeing people get bitten, and turn in less than a few minutes."

"We can do that.", Nina said with a bit of confidence, "What's the plan after getting on the bus?"

"We need to find a secure shelter, preferably something with high, strong walls. Once we lock it down, we need as much information as possible. All of us need to make an informed decision before moving on. This is only going to get worse, I am sure of that.", I said hitting several more zombies, "As people start killing to survive some people will mentally snap, and start shooting the living as well."

"You sound like you have seen this before.", Saeko stated.

"I have seen shit from my travels. Some people only need a push to start killing, and this is one hell of a push.", I remarked, "For now, hold out I will be-"

Hearing the line disconnect, Saya looked at the cellular signal and saw it completely drop. Trusting that I would make it, Saya stated calm and took a seat.
