BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22 22: Corey's Improvement
Rumble!
Clap!
Boom!
In E-Academy, as the rain poured and the thunder roared, a bolt of lightning struck and spread above the academy illuminating certain places in the academy.
And at one of the locations illuminated by this bolt of lightning, was a teenage boy covered in a tattered black cloak with his head covered by a hood running with a cold and sharp gaze, behind this boy were five revenants chasing after him, with each of them having various dagger cuts on their bodies.
Despite the darkness, despite the rain and despite the heavy wind, the boy moved in the surroundings with unmatched familiarity. Taking turns here and there in between buildings, the boy moved like a ghost, his steps quiet, not making a loud splattering sound as he stepped on puddles here and there.
After a while, the boy who was always looking straight ahead, looked upwards slightly.
Roooaaarrrrr!!!
A roar resounded from a building ahead of the boy and a revenant much larger than a normal one jumped towards the boy.
The boy with a calm gaze looked at the incoming revenant and just as the revenant was a few meters close to the boy, the boy jumped and twisted in mid air.
With a jump, agility and dexterity higher than what a normal human could accomplish, the boy who had appeared on top of the revenant still in mid-air, reversing their roles, sliced at the neck of the revenant with a dagger which had a red handle, eventually cutting off the neck of the revenant.
Bam Bam Bam Bang.
The head which had a creepy smile rolled on the floor for quite a distance while the headless body slammed unto the floor spewing out blood from the neck, making the ground red for a few seconds before the rain swept up the blood away.
The boy looked at the corpse for a few seconds before his body swayed and he kept on running, the five monsters behind, chased with more energy than before seeing one of their kind die.
The boy without panic turned to the right which led to an alley, after taking approximately twenty steps into the alley, he jumped slightly and continued running for ten more steps before he stopped and turned back.
He looked calmly at the five revenants running towards him, and just when they were ten steps away from the boy, the revenant at the front stumbled and was about to catch his balance but like dominoes, the revenant behind stumbled also and fell on the first revenant causing it to fall.
This continued for all five revenants and the boy seeing them all on the floor, ran towards them with a dagger in his hand, then crouched and quickly pierced the dagger into the head of the first revenant.
The revenant tried to claw at him but the boy calmly held it\'s hands and made sure it was dead before moving unto the next and did the same process for all the five revenants.
Rumble!
Clap!
Boom!
The skies howled and a bolt of lightning struck. The winds raged fiercely than before, causing the boy\'s cloak to flap and the boy\'s hood to come off his face, revealing the boy\'s face to the world.
With an average face, black eyes, short black curly hair and a caramel colored skin, the teenage boy was Corey.
Corey after killing the last Smiley looked around to make sure there was no danger around him and that there were no inconsistencies in the alley. Finding none, he crouched and dissected the corpse in front of him.
Using two minutes to dissect the corpse with an indifferent expression, he finally brought out a soul stone from the chest of the corpse. He removed his bag which was hidden in his cloak and opened it.
If one were to see the inside of the bag, a shocked expression would definitely emerge on their face. Inside of the bag were numerous soul stones making the inside of the bag shine slightly.
Corey with an indifferent expression, put the soul stone he just removed from the corpse into his bag. He moved towards the next corpse and did the same thing, repeating the same process for all the corpses all with an indifferent expression.
After doing all of this, Corey walked towards the thin wire which was used to trip the five revenants, removed it and looked around. After confirming that he was safe, he pulled up his hood and his body swayed and left the alley, quiet like the wind.
Corey\'s steps were silent as he ran, his gaze sharp and conscious of his surroundings. Running on the roads filled with corpses, debris and even destroyed vehicles. Corey ran, went through a few twists and turns and finally stopped when he reached a tall destroyed building.
He looked at the front door of the building, finding a pile of rubbles at the entrance. Seeing the rubbles at the entrance, he walked to the left side of the building and after taking a few steps, he found another pile of rubbles, but this time, instead of ignoring the rubble, he walked towards it and removed the stones which made up the rubble with familiarity.
After removing the stones, a hole on the side of the wall appeared and Corey walked into the hole, then covered the hole back with the stones. Corey then removed his bag and brought out a torch from inside of it.
With the torch on, he moved towards the stairs in the room he was in. The stairs led to last floor of the building and after reaching there, Corey moved to the window where he could see the roads below.
This was one of the reasons Corey chose this spot as his hiding and resting spot. The building was taller than the other buildings around it and with where Corey was, he could see what was going on the roads.
Besides if a Smiley or somebody hostile wanted to enter, they would have to remove the boulders at the entrance of the building which would alert Corey since he set up a small trap of sorts.
As Corey looked out the window, he could make out vague figures of Smileys with their creepy smiles walking about. He didn\'t encounter one on his way to the building because he knew the safest path to this building from the alley he came from and he also cleared the path of Smileys when he left the building earlier today.
"No Black Smiley again today."
Corey sighed then used the curtains to close the window. He walked to the fireplace in the room and lit it up, allowing heat and a little bit of light in the room.
Corey removed his cloak after that, then sat on the couch in the room.
Another reason why Corey chose this room was because this room was a room that was very comfortable and also had almost all the basic necessities he needed.
Like for example, a bed, a bathroom, fireplace and so on.
As for how Corey found this place, it was through luck.
As Corey sat beside the fireplace heating up his body which was cold from the rain, he stretched out his right hand and brought up his status screen.

This is the normal chapter for yesterday. I thought I would be able to write the entire 5 Chapters I promised yesterday, but I could not.
Although I did a few things, I\'ve basically been writing throughout today so at the moment I\'m feeling sleepy.
I\'ll try not to sleep, but if I see I\'m not writing properly I\'ll sleep and write the last chapter after I wake up.
Have a great day/night people.
And also thanks to everyone that voted using power stones. I\'m really happy and I really appreciate it. I\'ll give the bonus chapters hopefully like today or better than today.
