《Magical Girl Selector》Chapter 8: The fight at the school gate
Advertisement
Cheers rise up as the students get out of the cover and witness their result.
“We won! Yes!”
“How was that, you fucking monsters? Don’t underestimate humanity. Hahaha, serves you right.”
“We can defeat those monsters. They are not invincible at all. We can be safe now.”
They all cheer for their first victory against the abnormality. Some students hug each other and shed tear that they can feel hope surviving this situation. Some sit down and sigh out of relief. Even though the defeated monsters may be a fragment of what invades this academy, this victory has a special meaning to all of them. They can protect themselves until help comes or they escape from this place.
Makoto joins with the her friends and the rest of the girls. They are hugging each other, expressing their relief.
"That was amazing, Hinami. To think that those dust could explode that much. And you were so cool at that time too. The moment you light that match and throw at the monster was so handsome. I wish that I can go back time to take a picture." A girl gives Hinami her admiration.
"Makoto is also amazing too. I did not think that those stacks could hold back those monster that long. That arrangement is like magic."Another girl gives credit to Makoto.
"Un, there is also her trap. If it wasn't for them, the monsters might charge at us during the explosion. That would be dangerous. Great job there, Makoto!" Hinami also gives compliment to Makoto.
"Good job, both of you." Yuuko makes a thumb up.
After two minutes celebrating, Hinami gathers everyone together..
“Everyone, although this kills your joy, you must remember that this is not the end yet. Our situation is still dire. The monsters are still out there and we have not escaped yet. We still have to regroup with the other students and teachers, then find a way to escape here.”
Being awaken by cruel fact, the students return to the serious mood anymore and gather the equipment. The students holding the flour bags and hand shovels even take more caution like they are handling gold. Their destination is the school gate because it is where the running students went to.
When they arrive, things are not as expected. There are fewer students than they expect and all of them are being chased by the toilets. Many bodies are seen lying on the ground with their heads missing. The students who ran to the school gate have been under attack.
The running students see Hinami group and run toward here with the monsters following behind. The girl adjusts her glasses that and gives order out "Fire team gets ready! We are testing it."

Two students with spray cans along four holding weapons come out. They hold the spray cans in front of them with the sparker in another hand. The moment the running students pass by them, their fingers press on the buttons and two lines of flame burst out. The handmade flamethrowers breath out directly on the toilets. The surrounding is brightened with orange as the monsters withdraw back a little. Lexar is again in awe of what this group can do. First, a chain explosion and now flamethrowers. The horror movie directors must have spread out bullshit that high school students cannot do anything in front of horror. Although the visual effect is amazing, it is ineffective against those toilets as they only backed off a little.
Hinami seems to expect that and orders "Fire team falls back. Close combat team forward. Yuuko, I am counting on you."
Yuuko swings her sword strongly in the air "No problem. Everyone covers me. I am drawing their attention."
She charges forward right inside the group of monsters. Seeing the prey offering its life, the monsters seem to laugh wickedly and jump on her. With only a second apart from contact, Yuuko slides down and passes through beneath all of them. Unable to stop, they all crash on the ground. Yuuko turns back and swings the sword on the tank of one monster. The clash makes a "Clank" sound, showing how much force behind her arm. However, the monster is unhurt and Yuuko has to take a step back.
Perhaps embarrassed by the fall, the monsters roar in anger after recover and only target Yuuko, ignoring those in front of them. She further taunts them by making a "Come here" gesture. Learning that their prey is not easy, they do not charge in easily but surround the girl first. Yuuko still remains calm on her face and prepares her stand. A monster flies on her and its seat is opening wide, ready to devour the girl's head.
"Kurosawa armor breaking style: throat slitter" The sword girl mutters.
The sword is raised the same height as her head and thrust strongly at the cover. *Clang* Sound of porcelain shattered comes and a hole on the cover is made with a sword through. Her hands grip the handle with force then slash upward., cracking the cover in half. Without screaming in pain, the toilet monster vanishes into black bubbles and disappears.
"Kurosawa armor breaking style? I thought that the Kurosawa dojo only teaches judo?"One student who knows Yuuko asks the question.
"The Kurosawa family is not simple as it appears. They are well versed with many types of arts: from hand combat to close weapon combat. Although Yuuko knows them all, she is most proficient with sword and judo. Her special combat ability is the reason I am confident to make her a vanguard." Hinami answers the question with pride.

That student is amazed by such fact and when he turns back to the fight, Yuuko already finishes the 2nd monster.
"Their weakness is the cover. Everyone deals with them in group of three: one restraining them and two attacking the weak point. I will scatter them." Yuuko gives her finding and command to the hand combat students.
Two monsters come at the same time. They intend to ram against her body, knocking her out and do not open their mouths anymore. However, Yuuko also changes her strategy. The moment they get close, she throws away her sword then puts her hands on the cover. Mustering strength, she jumps up and then flips in the air, dodging the attack.
"Takeda, hammer" She calls out to a student holding a sledgehammer.
Understanding her word, he throws the hammer without hesitation. The throwing speed matches his big build as the hammer spins very fast in the air. It hits right at one of the toilets, smashing its tank. It screams painfully then vanishes. Losing the momentum, the hammer slowly lands near the girl. The other monsters notice that and charge at the same time, intending to block her from getting the weapon. However, Yuuko is quicker as she grabs the hammer and rolls many time on the ground, dodging the ganging up. She spins the hammer around like using a stick. The spinning force behind is scary as it's making *swosh* *swosh* sound, making the monsters retreat back.
Not missing the chance, she steps forward while still spinning her weapon. Understand the danger, the monster horde spread out in all direction and run away from her.
"Now!" Yuuko makes her signal to everyone.
The students who are waiting with weapons in hand charge forward with a war cry. Perhaps influenced by excitement from watching Yuuko, the students forgot her command and just attack the covers of the toilets. But luckily, it works well surprisingly. The monsters are taken by surprise and do not have a chance to retaliate back. In just a few minutes, several of them are defeated by the students. For Yuuko, she chases after the monster running away and finishes them off.
The battle has ended without any casualty on the group. The fighting students all shout out their victory cheer.
"Good job, Yuuko." Makoto congratulates Yuuko and she replies back with a thumb up.
"Thanks for your work, everyone. Especially you, Yuuko. I know that you can pull it." Hinami praises the whole group and Yuuko.
"Yes, you were so awesome back there." A female student says.
"I never knew that Kurosawa-san is that powerful. How can you spin that hammer so easily? Are you a destroyer class?"A male student says his amazement.
Many voices also follow, asking about her ability. Replying all of that, Yuuko only makes a striking pose.
"Kurosawa dojo open for every person. Monthly fee is 5000 Yen. Year membership comes with only 40,000 with special service. Registration is open 24/7, at Square Plaza in Shibuya. Register to get stronger." She says with an advertising tone. A banner can be mysteriously seen behind her.
Her friends all laugh hard at the scene. Yuuko has been promoting her family dojo non-stop since entering school. Even in this situation, she still has not forgotten to advertise her family business.
In contrast to that, the students who were rescued all stare at Hinami group in shock. They had been running away from those monsters for so long that they know how scary and dangerous they are. Despite their ridiculous look, they can chow off a person's head in a matter of second and their ramming power is same as a car. They could not believe that a normal human can win against them. The look they give to Hinami's group and Yuuko especially is filled with disbelief but also hope. If they can stick with them, they can survive through this hell.
Lexar has been observing all of these with the "potential eyes". The students' hope are shining brighter than before and lit in those who have lost it. Suddenly, his hair all stands up, signaling a danger. He hisses at a hallway connecting to the school gate. Surprised by the sound, the cheering also comes to a stop and everyone looks at the direction the cat is looking.
A two meter build slowly appears from the shadow while dragging something. When the light shines at his legs, it is a body with the head chopped in half. The inside is spilling out as the big body drags it by the hair. Blood makes a trail wherever he goes. His other hand is holding a bloody machete. Although there is only one person, he instills fear in the students more than the toilets do. A saying "Human is more scary than monsters" perfectly describes this situation.

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show.
