Azrael POV.

Azrael didn't know what to do... He could follow those two back to wherever they were heading and kill them right there, or he could hold back and come up with a REAL plan that wasn't rushing into battle head first. While being strategic wasn't Azrael's strong point, he felt it might be necessary this time. Those two seemed too smart to just rush back for no reason, especially that blue haired girl who was adamant on taking him down. They had to be up to something, and if they ran back to their school or base or whatever, they were most likely going to get some backup. He wasn't feeling nervous or threatened, but there was just too many unknown variables.

"My fists say rush in, but my head says sneak in. It might be feasible, but how will I do that? I'm not the most subtle person around." Azrael thought to himself out loud as he leaned against a tree with his arms crossed. He hated to let people walk away, but it might have been for the better. If he rushed in, he would have fallen into a hostile environment full of people who were looking for blood. How he hated thinking critically.

After some agonizing thinking, Azrael came to the conclusion to wait for nightfall so that the school would close and security would be at its weakest. It was so simple, but Azrael had the feeling it wouldn't end up being that simple. Still, if it gave him the chance to face off against that purple haired girl again, it would be all worth it. Azrael then began to walk towards the school, but took multiple detours within the forest just so he could pass the time quicker.


Medaka POV.

As much as she didn't want to follow through with the plan and put her friends at risk, she really had no other option after she was forced to retreat from her battle with Azrael. If it was anyone else who had proposed the plan, she would have argued against the plan and won, but she trusted Zenkichi and believed that he was making the right call. Medaka had the disciplinary committee, minus Unzen, watch over the main school entrance, Myouri Unzen and his sister watched over the back entrance and the hole that was left by Oudo. Munakata and Takachiho patrolled the west side of the buildings halls, Koga and her sister Youka patrolled the east, though Medaka told Youka to contact her immediately should they encounter the Mad Dog, and Zenkichi was observing each room in the school, except for the bathrooms, via the security cameras, and Medaka herself was monitoring the evacuation of any student without a sufficient ability. She'd much rather be patrolling the halls, but she had to ensure the students safety herself as that was what she fought for as the student council president.

After all the students had been evacuated, Medaka quickly returned to the security room to check on Zenkichi. She was going to patrol the halls soon enough, but she felt like paying her good friend a quick visit.

"Anything to report Zenkichi?" Medaka asked as Zenkichi quickly spun around. He seemed to be a little startled by her appearing behind him so quickly, but he was also kind of relieved to see it was only Medaka.

"Nothing yet, but I don't think we'll be seeing him anytime soon. We've got this school locked down tight. No one is getting in or out of this place without a fight." Zenkichi said proudly, admiring the good plan he had come up with. Medaka couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm, perhaps his plan was better than she realized. She should have given Zenkichi more credit from the start as he too had everyone's well being as his priority, and she was very grateful for his help.

"Very well, I shall begin my rounds around the school. Alert me if anything comes up." Medaka replied as the left the security office and left Zenkichi to be their eye in the sky. Medaka was not going to let Azrael harm anyone else, and that was a promise that she would see through until the day she died, and she didn't plan on dying anytime soon.

"Be it day or night, I will never rest until you have been defeated, Azrael." Medaka said as she now began sprinting around the school.

Four Hours Later...

The sun had vanished behind the horizon and the moon now hung in the sky light a night light, but the night did not stop the patrols. Everyone remained at their posts like they were glued to the area, although each of them had drank a cup or two of coffee to stay awake, except for Medaka, who was still sprinting around the school, checking on everyone while looking out for Azrael. Shed wasn't giving up, unless a full week went by, in which case she would be forced to call off the patrols and take on the task herself so everyone else could return to their classes.


Azrael POV.

Azrael was hiding up in a tree near the edge of the forest that was behind the school, looking at the school through the leaves. He was right not to have rushed in as his patrol around the edge of the forest revealed that there were guards protecting every entrance to the school. Azrael thought that everyone wasn't allowed to leave until the threat had passed and that he was oh so close to a building full of punching bags, but sadly he didn't know that Medaka had sent everyone home early. Azrael only asked himself one question: how was he going to get in?

Just as he finished coming up with reasons to just charge in, fist blazing, an opportunity presented itself. He noticed the two short, pale blonde students conversing and focused in on their conversation. He smiled as he heard the boy say he was going to the bathroom quickly; this was just what Azrael needed. The moment the boy vanished around the corner of the door, Azrael dropped out of his tree and sprinted towards the girl from behind. Before the girl could even turn around, Azrael wrapped his hands around her head and...

SNAP!

The girl's body dropped to the ground, with Azrael looking down at her with his fiendish smile. He picked up the girl by her hair, and one by one, he tossed a ball and chain around a light post so it would hang her by her hands. Azrael wanted to make his presence known, he wanted his name to be feared.

"Let the games begin." Azrael whispered as he sprinted into the school and up a nearby flight of stairs. The deadliest game of hide and seek had now commenced, and right now, it was 1-0 Azrael.

Medaka POV.


Medaka continued to sprint around the school like an Olympian training for the games, until Zenkichi shouted over the PA system.

"Everyone, head outside to the back entrance now! We have an emergency!" Zenkichi shouted as the sound of the PA system hanging up echoed throughout the school. Medaka did not waste anytime heading towards the back of the school, and when she arrived, her eyes widened so much they looked like dinner plates.

"No... How did..?" Medaka choked out as she walked up to the light post that would now haunt her dreams. She was now staring at Myouga Unzen's dead body, hanging down from the light post due to her weapons being tied around the top. The Mad Dog had struck once again, and she knew that wouldn't be the last time. She would not forget what he had done to her friends, and for the first time...

She would not forgive him.
