Simultaneously all the doors were slammed open and storming in from each of them were several red colour gang members. All of them displaying the symbol of their gang by having a sort of item or clothing in red.
As soon as they burst through the doors, the last person to enter carried with them chains and a lock. They began to tie it around the double doors, sealing them in.
“What are you doing? You’re not meant to be in this school!” Mr Grey shouted at the intruder, he reached out his hand aiming to grab the lock. The gang member turned around, and without hesitation threw his fist, right into the teacher’s face.
The middle-aged man fell on his backside, holding his face. It wasn’t enough to knock out the adult teacher, but it certainly had shaken him up a bit. The other teachers, seeing this, came to the conclusion that trying to physically stop them was not the best choice.
After seeing how they were dressed and the stunts they were pulling with their makeshift weapons, the teachers had some idea of who they were. It was impossible in this day and age to not know about the several gangs who proudly would display themselves in the streets of Slough.
Nevertheless, a gang storming into a high school, even though it was ‘just’ a colour gang, had never happened before in the history of the town.
In total there seemed to be around sixty or so red colour gang members, and while the students outnumbered them roughly ten to one, they were too scared and frightened to do anything about their situation. Especially since the gang members were carrying around weapons.
Aware that fighting the red colour gang wasn’t in their best interest, the majority of high schoolers attempted to make a call on their phone. The police were usually useless to respond since they were too busy, but in a situation like this, what else could they do?
“Huh… that’s strange! I’m sure I had a signal in here earlier!” One student muttered, shaking his phone in hopes of getting at least one bar.
“I can’t connect to the Wi-Fi either!” Another shouted in a panic. Not a single person in the room could use their phone and with the Wi-Fi down there was no way for them to contact the outside. The locks had been placed, meaning they were all trapped.
“Ha ha ha!” The man on the stage laughed into the microphone, watching all of their reactions. “If you don’t want anything to happen, it would be best if you all went into the centre and sat down. That includes you teachers as well!”
Of course, the one who was on stage was none other than the coloured gang leader himself, Riv.
With no choice, most of the students followed his instruction, especially since the teachers had been the first to act. They all bundled up and started to head towards the centre of the main hall.
[New Quest received]
[You’re locked in here with me!]
[You might be surrounded, but as an apex predator, they only cut off their own path of escape!]
[Escape or defeat the red colour gang who have invaded your school!]
[Quest reward: Will depend on the number of people hurt by the gang before completion (3/624)]
A Quest had appeared now of all times, which just made Gary aware that the situation was worse than he had imagined. When getting in small fights, although he would gain Exp at times, it wouldn’t always give him a Quest.
This was also the first time the system based his rewards on another condition. It looked like three people had already been hurt. One of them being Mr Grey and the other two students who had tried to make a run for the doors. It appeared that the lower the number would stay, the better the Quest reward would be, but did he really have time to be thinking about these things?
‘Why are they here?’ Gary wondered, as he looked at all of them. ‘The red colour gang had teamed up with the grey colour gang in that attack on Chavley, which means they should be working for the Grey Elephants.
‘Are these guys here because of me? Is it because of what I did… and since Stacy told them about me? If Hawk’s brother could find out what school she and Amy attended, he definitely could have found mine. It’s’ either that or…’
“I’m not sure.” Kai replied when Gary looked over at him. It was the answer to the question he knew his underclassman wanted to ask. The blonde teenager didn’t know if this was in any way connected to the Underdogs, or if they had coincidentally decided to act on their own.
In the first place, colour gangs were pawns that could easily be influenced by the bigger gangs without them knowing it. At the same time, they could even just be pretending to be part of a gang to cause trouble for others, though the appearance of Riv suggested that this was the real red colour gang.
“Don’t take out your weapons.” Kai whispered over to Marie. “Not unless you’re in serious trouble.”
Even in the situation they were currently in, pulling out two small knives to attack others while in school was a big no.
“Hey, should we try to fight or get out of this one or something?” Innu whispered to the other two.
At the same time, due to the situation, he could see a startled Marie inching her way forward towards Gary.
‘Of course, she goes towards him.’ Innu inwardly shook his head.
Tom, who had overheard this, was shaking at the suggestion and had to speak up.
“Are you guys crazy?!” He whispered. “There are dozens of them, and most even have some type of weapon. I don’t care how good you guys might be at fighting, it’s impossible for you to take on that many. Don’t tell me you’re planning to fight!?”
