Chapter 6 - 6: The Strongest Student And His Mischiefs (V)
"Now... how do I solve this?"
I pondered, looking at the slime girl floating inside the capsule.
Her thin, slimy body glowed faintly in the dim red lights. The green of her eyes was lifeless, staring into nothing.
Not knowing what to do with something like this sucks. Most especially when you are stuck in the middle of an enemy lab and alarms are probably just seconds from blaring.
"Whatever... let's be rough..."
I cracked my knuckles.
I moved closer to the capsule, gathering mana into my fist. It shimmered faintly, frost licking at my knuckles.
Without hesitation, I swung.
CRASH!
The glass exploded outward, scattering shards across the lab floor. A thick blue liquid gushed from the capsule, splattering my boots and soaking the floor.
I caught the slime girl as she slid out, her body was surprisingly light but strange.
Gurglee.....
Her form shifted a little in my arms, cool and slippery, like trying to hold a bag of jelly. For a second, I froze, weirdly uncomfortable.
Gurglee...
Her body is slimy indeed.
Ahem.
Setting her down gently, I moved to the other capsule, where the morph weapon rested
I didn't know if it would still be able to change its aspect because there was no slime girl when Lucas got this weapon.
So, I don't know if it will work.
Gathering mana again, I punched the capsule.
CRASH!
The glass exploded as it had before, and I grasped the weapon. This time, it was a hatchet, but it vibrated in my hand with a faint hum, as if it were... alive.
"Alright, that's two for two."
I glanced back at the girl.
She looked fragile, unconscious but breathing, her form shifting slightly like a calm pool of water.
I didn't know how much time I had, but I was glad she was alive.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
"Fuck..."
Red lights flashed everywhere, bathing the lab in an angry glow.
The high-pitched wail of the alarm echoed loudly.
My gaze snapped to the capsule, where a small plaque blinked: Safety Measure Activated.
I didn't notice it.
"Dammit!"
The vents.
I needed to get her out before whoever triggered the alarm showed up.
Immediately, I moved back to the vent and gritted my teeth when I noticed that we couldn't get out together.
I would need to push her into the vent, and that would take quite a long time.
'Wait... when Lucas escaped there was a giant vent mentioned...'
I took a deep look around, my eyes constantly flinching due to the flashing red lights, but I ignored it and
Ice spread instantaneously, forming a thick, fortified wall between the guards and me.
"He's trying to escape!" one of them shouted.
I ignored them, sprinting towards the vent with the slime girl still in my arms.
The red lights were still flashing, the alarm still blaring, but I didn't stop.
Reaching the vent, I kicked it open and slid inside, the cold metal scraping against my back as I crawled forward as fast as I could.
Behind me, the guards were pounding on the ice wall, their shouts growing fainter as I moved deeper into the vent.
Finally, the noise faded, and I allowed myself to take a deep, shaky breath.
"Made it... for now."
I muttered, clutching my side as pain flared up again.
Gurgleee.....
The slime girl shifted slightly in my arm, her soft gurgle the only sound in the suffocating silence of the vent.
"Ahh... how am I going to explain to the Saintess?"
Looking at my gruesome injuries that would make an average joe limp if not pass out, I pondered, thinking of a familiar figure in my mind.
The Saintess of the Holy Nation.
