He hadn’t seen anyone aside from Sean and Bran who came running to their office before, so he wasn’t sure if other students and teachers in the school were also in the same situation as them.
But it’s actually better if all those students and other teachers that came to their school were involved. If none of them were involved then it would be good, as no one would be in danger aside from the four of them.
Aside from that, it would also be easier for him if there’s only four of them because the situation wouldn’t have more complications.
Having more people in the situation they were in would just make it more complicated as people are always filled with different personalities and they wouldn’t be sure how all of those remaining students and teachers would act if they even met them in the situation that they were in.
At least if there’s only four of them, then it would be easier to work together and look for ways to get out than to worry more about more problems that bigger groups would bring.
Of course, if there are really more people, then he would just let Ren handle them. If it’s just a small group then it’s ok for him to take care of them, but if there’s a large group then he’d just leave them to Ren for management.
He doesn’t want to waste more effort in managing a lot of people as there would always be problems. With Ren’s personality, he would surely act responsibly because they’re students and teachers in the place he was working, so he’d just give it to him to worry about.
And with Ren’s popularity in school with his students, as well as his always capable, gentle, and polite mask when treating other people even if he doesn’t like them at all—so, Eli knew that Ren is probably also very likable to a lot of his colleagues in the school, so he’ll be able to manage any group he’s in very well.
Ren had been like that since they were young; that’s why Eli thinks their personalities really aren’t compatible at all because he couldn’t treat all people like that at all, especially when he was younger.
But even though he knew that with Ren around he doesn’t have to worry about the number of people, he still thinks that it’s better if they don’t meet anyone at all, since he could really feel that the danger around them is slowly increasing, which would just be bad if there’s more people around as it would be harder to protect them in the face of danger.
He could feel that the danger around them is slowly increasing, but he hasn’t even found what the danger is and why it is slowly increasing.
He only knew that it’s more connected to the invisible teacher and the students in the school that they were in, but as for the specific danger, he doesn’t know yet what it might be. This story is hosted at novelping dot com.
“By the way, what else did your classmate say about the fire incident 8 years ago?” Eli asked while they were walking towards the next building.
“My classmate only said that it seems to be caused by an accident by some students that had stayed late in school because of their club activities or something because the fire happened during the evening. My classmate wasn’t so clear about it as he only heard his parents talking about it and shared it with us when we were talking about possible accidents inside the school, as he had seen the thick smoke coming from the school when he was younger.”
“I see,” Eli said and didn’t continue asking any more questions as they’re already near the building that Bran had pointed at.
When they arrived at the corner, Eli finally saw the entrance of the building and it even has a label outside as a clinic.
Both of them stopped and didn’t immediately move towards the building. They looked around first to see if there were people around, especially in the direction of the open field.
But maybe because it’s still class hours, they didn’t see anyone in the open field at all.
They also didn’t see anyone loitering around the clinic or other places nearby, so they continued and entered the clinic.
He had already told Bran to continue pretending to be a bit dizzy as he still had to pretend to be sick.
When they entered the clinic, they didn’t see any nurses or people at the front desk to assist them at all.
Since no one was at the front, Eli, who saw the logbook at the side table near the entrance, quickly opened it and began flipping it from the very first page until the current blank page which is for new logs.
After he flipped it all, he put it down again and began calling someone.
“Hello, is anyone available, my friend is sick and needs some medicine!”
While speaking loudly, he also began walking towards the other rooms which were where patients stayed.
He started looking around as if he was looking for the nurse who was supposed to be in charge of the clinic.
He opened the curtains of the two rooms near him and he didn’t see any patients or nurses at all, so he turned to the 3rd room, but he didn’t open it and instead moved slowly back towards Bran while saying, “Hello, is anyone here? My friend still has a headache, if you guys are busy I can just look for some medicine for him.”
And just as he expected, someone actually came out of the third room while speaking, “What is it? I just finished fixing a patient.”
But when the nurse came out, Bran at the side obviously wanted to scream, but Eli immediately held his arm tightly to warn him not to do anything.
