Richard moved quickly and soon escaped the range of the Infected’s attacks, releasing the girl’s hand.
The girl, panting, said, “Hello, my name is Angel, thank you for helping me. Uh, also… sorry, I accidentally bumped into you just now.”
“It’s okay,” Richard replied. “My name is Richard.”
“You’re a student from White Stone Tower Academy, right?” Angel looked at the Raven Grey Robe Richard was wearing and quickly asked, “Aren’t you going to seek help from the teachers at your academy? After all, these biting people seem a bit terrifying.”
Richard didn’t deny the Infected were somewhat terrifying, but… seek help from teachers?
Up to now, he could count the teachers he knew from the academy on both hands, and he didn’t even know where they were now. How could he find them?
Richard looked at Angel and said, “It’s a bit late to go looking for them now. Instead of us seeking them out, it’s better to wait for them to come on their own. Given the current abnormal situation, they should notice it soon and take action in minutes.”
“But before they take action—what do we do now?” Angel asked, slightly anxious. Although she had escaped the range of the Infected’s attacks with Richard’s help, it didn’t mean she was safe.

“Run further away, avoid the attacks of the Infected, and ensure you don’t get bitten. That’s enough,” Richard replied. “The Infected aren’t very fast, and there isn’t any significant transformation after infection. Considering they can only bite, their combat strength should be considered reduced. So as long as we avoid them and not get bitten, we’ll be fine.”
“But…” Angel widened her eyes as she looked at Richard and said, “But isn’t this happening inside your academy? Aren’t you worried that the rest of the academy might get infected? They are all your classmates! If you’re this powerful, you should be their senior, right? Won’t you help them?”
“Uh…” Richard shook his eyebrows, realizing his approach might be a bit too cold. Although logically there was nothing wrong, it could seem problematic in the eyes of others.
So in that case…
Richard spoke to Angel, “Go find a safe place to hide and wait for the academy’s teachers to arrive. As for me, I’ll try to lure the Infected to a more remote area, to minimize the harm as much as possible.”
Richard immediately rushed out, stabbing his sword into the bodies of the pursuing Infected several times, infuriating them, and leading a large group of Infected into the woods.
Angel stood, stunned, watching the astonishing number of Infected chasing after Richard, her eyes flickering as she muttered to herself, “Leading away so many… aren’t you afraid…”
After finishing her thought, Angel saw an Infected approaching her from a distance. Not daring to stay in one place for too long, she quickly ran to the side.
After running a hundred meters and shaking off all the Infected, Angel stopped in front of a tree on the grass, intending to catch her breath, but suddenly, from behind the tree, a moaning sound, and an Infected jumped out without warning.
Angel was startled and shuddered when she saw who the Infected was because it was the same White Stone Tower Wizard who had been tasked with maintaining order but was sneak attacked and infected due to insufficient vigilance.
Just like the others, though the Infected could no longer cast spells, as a wizard, he still had a stronger physique than the average student. This allowed him to run faster, reaching this spot alone.
The Infected made no pretense of politeness. After losing his senses, he did not hesitate to bite White Stone Tower students, let alone a student from Deep Blue Castle. He lunged fast, his hands like iron hoops, tightly gripping Angel’s neck, opening his mouth to reveal teeth stained with fresh blood and bit down towards Angel’s soft neck.
Angel struggled, realizing she couldn’t break free, her eyes widening in terror, as if she could already see herself being bitten and turning into one of the Infected, her face ashen.
At that moment, the Infected that had gripped her neck suddenly froze and turned into an ice sculpture at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This!
Angel was somewhat stunned and looked forward, only to see a One-eyed White Stone Tower Wizard appear.
The One-eyed Wizard’s brow was deeply furrowed, his face stern. He glanced at Angel, who was wearing a Rose Red Robe, and asked, “Are you a student from Rose City?”
Angel nodded vigorously, “Yes, I am.”
“Then go find the teacher leading your group. It’s a bit dangerous in the White Stone Tower Academy right now. It’s being dealt with, so it’s best for you to stay put and not run around randomly,” the One-eyed Wizard said, then, without paying Angel any more attention, he rushed off into the distance.
Angel stood in place, somewhat at a loss. She didn’t know whether to follow the One-eyed Wizard’s first instruction—to quickly find their leading teacher—or his second—to stay where she was and not wander. The One-eyed Wizard’s advice seemed rather contradictory.
Looking up, Angel saw where the One-eyed Wizard had charged towards and caught sight of more than a dozen White Stone Tower Wizards who had appeared. Some were in simple Black Robes, some were dressed entirely in white, and others were adorned in elaborate Noble attire—as Wizards with privileges, they were not bound by the Wizard Organization’s dress codes.
These Wizards varied in appearance, but what they had in common was the powerful Mana emanating from within them. They cast Spells with a wave of their hands, launching merciless onslaughts against the Infected. They spared no one, whether they were students from the White Stone Tower or other Wizard Organizations.
Indeed, the Infected’s rapid spread had caused significant harm just moments ago, but to these Wizards, they posed no real threat. With Flames burning, Ice Mist freezing, Wind Blades howling, and Acid Liquid raining down, swathes of Infected were felled.
Before long, the majority of the Infected had been eradicated. The Wizards didn’t stop, continuing to search and kill, making it quite clear that it was only a matter of time before the Infected were completely wiped out.
Watching this, Angel thought: Maybe staying put is the best course. There’s no need to find that lead teacher of hers.
With this thought, Angel suddenly saw Richard, who had led away a large group of Infected, return without any visible injuries, the Infected he had led away nowhere in sight.
Angel turned to Richard, and asked with surprise, “Did… did you kill all those Infected?!”
“No,” Richard approached Angel and shrugged, his tone giving away nothing true or false. “Ran into a Wizard. The Whole lot of Infected got killed by the Wizard.”
“Ah, is that so…” Angel looked at Richard, half believing and half doubting.
“Actually, if it had just been you on your own, you could have killed those Infected too, right?” Angel asked Richard.
On hearing this, Richard was noncommittal, “That’s hard to say…”
Angel was about to say more when suddenly, a harsh, cold voice of an old woman rang out from a distance, as if laced with killing intent.
“Angel, what are you doing?!”
On hearing this voice, Angel couldn’t help but shudder all over, slowly turning her head to call out, “Tea… teacher…”
