Escape the Classroom (2)

The King Rat looked around restlessly.

Was time frozen?

A sudden loud noise and a flash of light burst forth, and the surroundings froze completely like a still photograph.

Furthermore, the tremendous explosion that reached my ears.

Because of that, I couldn't hear any sounds around me.

Wobble. Wobble.

The King Rat staggered, unable to balance.

It didn't make sense.

Why was I staggering like this?

Actually, the reason was simple.

The explosion from just before had surpassed the level of making sounds inaudible and affected the semicircular canals, temporarily losing my sense of direction and balance.

But at that moment.

Thud!

-What?!

Someone hit me, who couldn't see anything.

It was clearly someone hitting my head precisely.

It must have been the guy who was holding the bat a little while ago.

-What?! What?!

He shouted to fight fairly.

Isn't attacking now when eyes, ears, and body can't function at all too cowardly?

Thud! Thud! Thud!

But the opponent didn't seem to have that intention.

The guy happily hitting my head.

The King Rat barely held his dizzy body and swung his sword in all directions.

However, maybe because he moved too much while losing balance sense.

He fell to the floor.

“Okay. Knocked out.”

Slightly, hearing and sight were slowly returning.

The person in front of my eyes.

He spat saliva once with both hands and firmly gripped the bat.

Is he trying to attack the fallen me?

This is too much.

Isn't it unsportsmanlike?

At least attacking while standing is the dignity of a gentleman.

But the opponent didn't seem to have any such thought.

The King Rat closed his eyes seeing the bat coming quickly towards his face.

Now I know what will happen to me.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Is he dead?”

Did I hit the King Rat's head too hard?

The guy's head was crushed like minced meat.

At the same time, the baseball bat received quite a lot of impact and was crushed.

“Ssaem! Are you okay?”

Jin-hwan and Min-cheol rushing towards me quickly.

Jin-hwan used Heal on me first.

No injury, but after receiving Heal, condition slowly recovered.

“Min-cheol. Was that flashbang earlier?”

“Yes. It was the item received after leveling up earlier.” Unlike me who permanently increased strength, Min-cheol received a one-time use item.

Since it's a flashbang that can't be used more than once, it might be a bit regrettable.

But since it saved my life, this is enough.

“What on earth is that monster?”

“Yeah.”

The corpse of the dead King Rat.

More important than figuring out the guy's identity right now.

“Damn. What to do with this bat?”

The baseball bat broken to the point it can't be used anymore.

I lost a weapon to escape here.

Can't fight monsters with bare hands.

Since I need to find a substitute, I quickly looked around, and something sparkling was felt next to the King Rat's corpse.

'What is that?'

The well-polished sword that wasn't visible at all when fighting the King Rat was neatly placed next to the King Rat's corpse.

I slowly approached the place where the sword was and reached out to pick up the sword.

At that moment, the message that appeared in front of my eyes.

'Item?'

[Item information]

『Sword made from King Rat's fangs』

- Grade: ★★

- Usable job: No ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠restrictions

- Classification: One-handed sword

- Effect: Physical damage +10%

The information of the weapon that appeared in front of my eyes.

It was neatly organized like the game system for this sword.

Looking at the information a bit more in detail, the explanation for this sword was kindly written.

- Explanation: A sword made from sharp King Rat fangs. Be careful not to get hurt since it's sharp.

'And what is that?'

Another thing lying next to the King Rat.

[Item information]

『Cute fur coat made from King Rat's fur』

- Grade: ★

- Usable job: No restrictions

- Classification: Clothing

- Effect: None

Because the grade is low, unlike the sword made from King ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Rat's fangs, no effect appeared.

In other words, it's a general item with no value.

Moreover, who would want to wear a fur coat made from rat fur.

Explanation: A cute coat made from King Rat's fur. Since it's warm, it's appropriate to wear it for insulation.

'Wait, then what about my fork?'

The fork that came out when choosing the job was likely this kind of item too.

I picked up the fork that was lying there and thought about the item information, and the information appeared in front of my eyes as if it was natural.

[Item information]

『Predator's Fork』

- Grade: ★★★★★

- Usable job: Predator

- Classification: Fork

- Effect: Speeds up the eating process. / Increases the amount of eating to infinity. / Automatically distributes in perfect portions for eating. / Changes the taste to delicious when eating.

A lot of effects attached.

Clearly, the effect changes according to the grade, and this 5-star fork is on a different level from the previous two items.

Explanation: Predator-exclusive fork. Effectively helps the Predator's eating.

If this fork didn't exist, it would mean I have to just bite monsters to use my abilities, which doesn't seem right.

'Earlier it said inventory is available.' The inventory that was said to be usable with the level-up message a moment ago.

Thinking about it internally, dozens of empty square slots appeared in front of my eyes, and below there was a separate window showing the overall situation.

[No items stored]

[Current coins: 16]

It seems I can store items here.

I put the fork into one of the square slots, and the fork was sucked in. When retrieving, just pull it back with the hand, simple usage.

For now, put the King Rat's fur coat into the inventory.

Jin-hwan walking slowly towards me.

“Ssaem, can I use that?”

“Yeah. This looks like an item.”

“Item?”

“It seems that when you kill monsters, you can get items. Pick up the dagger of that dead goblin once.” Jin-hwan went to the place where the dead goblin was and picked up the dagger, and it seemed like he was a bit surprised as if the same message appeared.

'By the way, Predator's ability. It's really amazing.' Clearly, the abilities increase, and it's obvious that monsters can be easily caught or ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠not.

Improvement in overwhelming physical abilities.

That seemed to be the power of this trait.

While thinking that, the King Rat's corpse came into my eyes.

'Is this different from a normal Giant Rat?'

It's the same rat, but the name is definitely different.

Then, it has a high possibility of being treated as a different monster.

Slightly, I brought the blood that the guy spilled next to the King Rat's corpse to my mouth.

Drip!

'Hm? What taste is this?'

Completely different taste from King Rat or Goblin's blood.

This time, it was definitely Cola taste.

Not PepsiX, but Coca-ColaX taste.

As a Coca-ColaX connoisseur, I could clearly distinguish this.

'Should I eat it?'

Even if it tastes like cola, the visual isn't easy to eat.

But my body has already eaten the Giant Rat and Goblin.

Eating one more won't change anything.

So, I held up the fork.

Jin-hwan and Min-cheol, sensing my action, naturally turned their heads in the opposite direction.

They seemed to have guessed without needing to say it.

Puff!

The fork stuck into the King Rat's body.

And the piece of flesh with blood dripping naturally from the fork.

Now, naturally brought to my mouth.

Chew. Chew. Chew

The taste of the King Rat was different from the Giant Rat.

If the Goblin is like just steak, this King Rat is top steak.

It melts smoothly in the mouth and slides down the throat smoothly.

A taste that overwhelms the Goblin meat I ate just before.

This is indeed delicious, very excellent taste.

With that, the King Rat's eating spree ended.

It took about 10 seconds to eat the whole big guy.

Clearly, the power of the fork is amazing.

At the same time, the increase in strength was felt.

The sword made from King Rat's fangs I'm holding now is clearly lighter than before.

'But what is that?'

The newly acquired special ability.

Clearly, it didn't appear when catching Giant Rat or Goblin.

Was the King Rat some special monster?

[Special ability - Fury]

[When seeing allies around being hurt, unbearable rage rises, attack power increases by 50%]

'Insane?'

50% increase in attack power.

It's definitely a scam ability.

Of course, if just attack power increases by 50%, it's too scam, so probably there are some restrictions.

After completing the predation, when putting the fork into the inventory, a sound was heard from somewhere.

Clack.

Thinking it might be Goblin, I quickly looked at the direction the sound came from.

The source of the sound is inside the classroom with the door closed.

'Is it a survivor?'

If it's Goblin, it won't act with door closed.

Still, to be sure, I gripped the sword and shield tightly and approached the door.

“Who's in there?”

But no answer came.

I peeked through the window, but only a few student corpses and Giant Rat corpses were lying around, no one else.

Thinking I misheard, I was about to go down with the students when a sound was heard faintly.

“Help... Help me.”

Definitely a human voice.

“Did you not hear any sound?”

“Yeah? That sound of monsters from other floors?” “No, I heard a sound like asking for help.” “I didn't hear it.”

It seemed strange, so I looked around.

“Is anyone here?”

Since making a big noise might attract monsters, I walked around with a small voice, but no human voice came.

“Was I hearing things?”

“Ssaem. Don't say that, let's go out quickly. There might be another scary guy like that King Rat here.” “Yeah. Okay.”

So, we started going down the stairs little by little.

Compared to before, the abilities were insanely high.

With that, not just a bat, but me holding a sword.

Thanks to that, the approaching Goblins and Giant Rats could no longer be my opponents.

Puff! Clang! Puff!

I repeatedly stabbed and slashed the approaching Goblins and Giant Rats to death.

Fortunately, while going down, I didn't encounter any weird monsters like the King Rat, so I could go down easily.

Now, we have reached the 1st floor.

The state of the 1st floor was quite serious unlike other floors.

Countless Giant Rat corpses were piled up around, and Goblins were eating them alive and enjoying the predation.

It seems most Giant Rats died on the 1st floor.

Noticing our presence, after stopping eating the Giant Rat, the Goblins looked at us coming down to the 1st floor with blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.

Bang! Bang! Smash! Clang!

It was a massacre.

Goblins of this level are no longer our opponents.

If there was a King Rat, it would be a bit difficult, but luckily it wasn't visible on the 1st floor.

After a short time.

The Goblins were ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠instantly wiped out.

“Ssaem! Let's go out.”

“Yeah. Let's go.”

And the message that appeared as soon as we went out through the door.
