''What the hell is going on? Who are these people?'' Adrian couldn''t help but think. He just reached his room after parting with Sunny, Evelyn and Isabe, aftering inside of room these people attacked him.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    Surrounded by three ck-clothed individuals, Adrian swiftly moved around his apartment hacking at them with his sword whenever he saw an opening.


    -nk!


    "khhh…"


    Parrying Adrian''s sword, one of the ck-d individuals signalled to the other two people to attack at the same time.


    Noticing their sign, Adrian forcefully twisted his body and defended against two attacksing from his left and right side.


    -nk! -nk!


    "khhh…"


    Barely blocking the attacks, Adrian took a few steps back as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.


    Looking at the three ck-d individuals before him, Adrian couldn''t help but curse.


    "Damm it"


    Whoever the trio was, they knew about his attack pattern and the sword art he used.


    From the way he attacked and his habits, they knew them all. It seemed that whoever they were, they had done their research on him and hade prepared.


    Moreover, what made things worse for Kevin, was that whenever they counterattacked they managed to precisely and cleanly direct their attacks where he was most vulnerable, almost as if they knew where he was going to attack.


    The more Kevin fought, the more he realized how adapted to his fighting style they were. It was almost as if they had been trained precisely to counter him.


    It was to the point that they were coordinating perfectly with each other, defending exactly where his true sword intent showed up and attacking exactly when he was most vulnerable.


    Taking a few steps back and looking at the trio, Kevin let out a long breath. Though he was in a bind, he remained calm.


    Adrian''s analytical mind quickly assessed the situation. Despite the disadvantage, he couldn''t afford to panic. With a determined glint in his eyes, he adjusted his stance and prepared for the next wave of attacks.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    The trio closed in again, their movements synchronized like a well-practiced dance. Adrian, however, showcased his adaptability. He deliberately altered his attack patterns, introducing unpredictability into his movements.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    The room echoed with the sh of metal. Adrian''s every move became a calcted response, a test to gauge the limits of his adversaries'' knowledge.


    Amid the intense battle, Adrian''s mind raced, formting a strategy to turn the tables. He sought weaknesses in their coordination, aiming to exploit anypse in their precise defence.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    Each strike revealed ayer of the trio''s strategy, and Adrian gradually began to discern patterns in their movements. Sweat continued to bead on his forehead, but determination fueled his actions.


    "Alright, time to change the game," Adrian muttered under his breath.


    With a sudden burst of speed and a series of feints, he disrupted the seamless coordination of his attackers. Taking advantage of the momentary confusion, Adrian countered with swift and unexpected strikes.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    The dynamic of the fight shifted. Adrian, now on the offensive, pressed forward, forcing the ck-d individuals to break their coordinated rhythm.


    Adrian''s calcted strikes intensified, pushing the trio to the brink. However, the struggle became apparent as the ck-d individuals, though momentarily disoriented, regained theirposure.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    The room echoed with the cacophony of shes, each strike carrying the weight of determination. Adrian, though resilient, found himself facing relentless attacks from all sides.


    In a risky move, one of the adversaries feigned weakness, luring Adrian into a vulnerable position. Sensing the trap, he narrowly evaded a coordinated assault that aimed to exploit his temporarypse in focus.


    "Smart move," Adrian acknowledged through gritted teeth.


    Despite his efforts, fatigue set in. The trio, relentless in their pursuit, aimed to exploit Adrian''s waning energy. Every sh became a test of endurance, a battle not only of skill but also of sheer stamina.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    Adrian''s movements slowed, and beads of sweat turned into a stream down his face. The realization that this fight would demand more than strategy and adaptability began to dawn on him.


    Summoning thest reserves of his strength, Adrian executed a daring manoeuvre. He disarmed one opponent, forcing them into a brief retreat, but the remaining two closed in with renewed vigour.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    In the struggle, Adrian grappled with the trio, each sh a desperate bid for survival. His sword danced with precision, but the odds seemed insurmountable.


    With a final burst of energy, Adrian unleashed a series of rapid strikes, incapacitating his adversaries one by one. The room fell silent, save for the heavy breaths of exhaustion.


    Standing amidst the defeated trio, Adrian''s chest heaved as he surveyed the aftermath of the intense confrontation. The victory came at a cost, leaving him drained and battered.


    But he doesn''t have time to rest.


    "I need to... Find others," he muttered, Adrian immediately headed towards the exit of his room.


    Though he wanted to check the bodies of the people who had assaulted him, he could hear amotion outside of his apartment.


    Despite being unsure of what was happening, he knew that something serious was currently happening outside of his room.


    -Click!


    "What''s going on?"


    Opening the door and exiting his room, Adrian couldn''t believe the sight that ayed him.


    Blood-curdling screams resounded across the whole first floor as the corpses of students and ck-d individuals could be seen sprawled everywhere.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    The sound of metal shing reverberated throughout the corridors of the first floor as students could be seen fighting for their lives everywhere.


    Multiple ck-d individuals appeared everywhere, attacking students from all sides as absolute mayhem shrouded the whole first floor.


    Amidst the chaos, Adrian''s eyes darted across the gruesome scene. The once-familiar corridors were now battlegrounds stained with blood. Students, armed with whatever they could find, shed with the mysterious assants.


    -nk! -nk! -nk!


    Adrian joined the fray, his sword a glimmering arc as he swiftly dispatched two ck-d attackers. Despite the dire situation, a surge of determination fueled his actions.
