The day broke.
My consciousness that used to be floating around like a ghost slowly perated back into my body. The sloppy bit of consciousness that was left behind on this body was erased as I regained the ownership.
It was still early in the morning but I imdiately walked outside. Maybe he was waiting for ? I saw Kain nearby so we discussed our final plan for this room.
Today, I will be burning down this annoying school.
*
Ding Dong Ding Dong-
Even though I made a firm resolve to burn this school down first thing in the morning, that plan would begin after the end of school. When doing sothing fishy, doing it at night with less people around was bound to increase the chance of success.
In the end, I had to obediently listen to the lessons today. Kain was in anguish about how this was his second ti being a senior high schooler, and honestly, that was quite funny.
Because I graduated high school more than 10 tis after all~!
It was thanks to that that I was able to beco a high-performing student. Anyone would be the sa after doing it 10 tis though.
Tap!
Coffee again.
The boys that were only going to Songee at the start, as if she was the most likely one to succeed, started placing things on my desk as well ever since yesterday.
This too was very laughable. Did these guys even have a clue about how they were re actors that were being recycled by the Hotel after their defeat? Well, it would be better for them to stay unaware of it though.
I was flipping through books while pretending to be studying when Seungyub and Songee walked over. In the middle of sharing a normal conversation, Seungyub spotted the can of coffee that was on my desk and widened his eyes.
Would he go and pick a fight or sothing if I told him who did it?
This was ridiculous no matter how many tis I saw it. I knew they were both fake and yet I still had to act like this.
Well, they werent aware of themselves being fake, so rather than ridiculous, it might be more correct to call it a tragedy.
Turning my head, I could see that the chairs of both Elena and Kain were empty. Elena was killed by the angel before they could create a fake copy of her, so the school would probably co up with an excuse so ti soon. As for Kain I hoped he was doing fine. He was the only survivor left behind in this absurd place with , and was in the middle of taking care of sothing that was perhaps more important and difficult than my own task.
Sothing Ive been thinking of ever since we were at the Mansion, was that even though he was rather dim-witted at tis, there were tis when he beca exceptionally clever and sharp.
This morning was a pri example.
*
Ive had this thought for a few days now, but I beca certain after seeing Elenas fight and the police yesterday.
I think were thinking the sa thing. You can start first, Kain.
This school is extrely prudent about how the outside world perceives them. Their fundantal goal is to send a bunch of people to the Old Main Building and do sothing, but just for that sothing, they built a preparatory school, bought a large piece of land and theyre even teaching proper lessons.
I would also add that after all the crazy things they did last night, they suddenly decided to forge a fake event and call the police to handle it as a car accident. It was as if they were trying to make it seem as natural as possible to the outside. Its as if
As if there is the Administration outside.
As if there is the Administration outside.
Looks like we actually had the sa thing in mind. Anyway, even though we cannot perceive it, it ans that there is an organisation similar to the Administration in this stage that can even defeat the angel. That is why even the angel has to thoroughly hide her actions.
I thought the sa thing. But does that an anything? Its not like we can contact them either.
Can you not, Ahri? Arent you an agent of the Administration?
If it was outside I might be able to contact the real Administration, but not to the fake Administration of Room 104.
Thats okay. We have another option.
Another option?
You saw them yesterday the police.
You an we should call the police and ask for help?
Thats not going to be enough. We are just students of a normal school in the eyes of the police right? Even if we suddenly call for help, they would think of it as a prank. Besides, theyll only be sending one or two officers, in which case the school might control their minds and swap them.
We need to do sothing big, and surrender ourselves to the police a massive event that needs more police than just a few like tens and hundreds. Would a secret organisation like this try to kill tens of police officers? Can they hide that from the outside world? This school is under a strong impression that we are being mind-controlled. I think they would send us outside and just give up.
Kain, do you an we should blow this school up?
No. Thats sothing you can do by yourself.
What about you then?
I need to block the biggest flaw of this plan.
*
It wasnt a super difficult plan or anything after coming up with the overall structure. By destroying this school to my hearts content, I would bring in dozens of police officers and get arrested.
Getting arrested should ironically be the escape.
Going further away from this school might count as an escape, but even if that didnt, getting imprisoned at a detention centre should definitely be considered an escape because that removes the chance of being brought to the Old Main Building.
The core of this plan was by making the school decide to give up on one or two students that were fully mind-controlled by the angel herself, instead of doing an incredibly dangerous move such as killing tens of police officers and replacing them.
I suddenly rembered how Seungyub said to Kain that we should simply punch the teachers together on our first day at the school. I told him off for coming up with a ridiculous idea but in the end, our final escape plan was about destroying this school. It seed that a random remark from Seungyub had been the closest approach to the real answer. Maybe I should pat him a few tis after leaving this room.
As for the success rate of this plan I wasnt sure.
There were already a few holes to this plan that I could easily think of. The behavioural principle that we ca up with was just our assumptions added together, and even though Kain had gone off to stop the biggest problem of our plan, it was questionable whether he would be able to pull it off or not.
But what else could we do?
Unless we were going to stay still and die, we had to do sothing. I had resolved myself already when I decided to co back to this Hotel. It would be more likely for to die a grueso death than escape from this place in one piece again.
However I had co back for sothing that was even more precious than my own life.
*
The sun was starting to set.
After the end of school, I returned to the dormitory and took the gas lighter along with the capsaicin sprays. It wasnt curfew ti just yet so no-one stopped from going back to school.
Where should I burn first? Of course, it had to be the staff room!
Creak. Thud!
Huh? Arent you Ahri? Students are not allowed to co to the staff room unless its sothing serious.
Sorry. But, there is this one question that I just couldnt solve no matter how many tis I tried to. Can I please ask about this question?
Hah You should have asked at the end of the lesson. What subject is this for?
Maths.
Hmm. Co in.
There were about 6 or 7 teachers in the staff room. At the right-hand-side of the room was the Maths teacher.
You have a question? Which one is it? Did you not bring the book with you?
Sorry, but I dont need those books anymore. My head almost exploded yesterday solving your questions, you know~!
Chiiiiiik!
Uaahhkkkk!!!! Huaaaahkk~!
Uhhhh! Whats going on?!
Mr. Han! What happened to you?
Wait! Ahri? What is that thing on your
Chiiik! Chiiiiik!
I ran around spraying everywhere as the teachers started rolling on the floor. Screams upon screams reached my ears.
This was seriously very fun.
How did I not think of destroying the school even though I went to it more than 10 tis? If I happened to go to another one in the real world, I should seriously ponder blowing it up at least once.
One of the male teachers started running forward while protecting his face with his shirt.
I looked into his eyes.
In the middle of his sprint, the teacher suddenly turned around and started bashing other teachers up with his fists. Even though it was an extrely worse version compared to Songees bracelet and ca at a big cost because it required my blood, this was still enough to deal with normal people.
That should be enough for the teachers and
As expected of the staff room, there were a lot of books.
I took out my gas lighter.
*
Ah. How warm.
I had no idea about the season but the weather was quite cold at the Hotel High School. However, it beca extrely warm now that I created a bunch of campfires all around the school.
Everyone should be grateful for my dedication and love for this school right?
After repeating what I did in the staff room 3 more tis, the school beca extrely rowdy. Fire alarms were going off everywhere and everyone was busy running away.
I took out the phone that I picked up before, and called the police.
[This is Gangdong Police Station. How can I help you?]
Our school is burning~!
[Sorry? Can you please elaborate]
You see! I am burning our school right now!
[Hah! You should be old enough to know that you shouldnt be making pranks BEEP. Why are you doing this!!]
The person suddenly changed in the middle. It seed that other people were also calling the police.
The school was very cold so Im in the middle of making it warm! I am burning the fifth classroom right now you should co warm yourselves up~!
Click.
That should be enough. With that, a bunch of police officers and firefighters should be on their way.
*
The greatest weakness of our escape plan.
Angel or other forces of the organisation coming out and stopping us to deal with the situation before receiving outside help.
It seed that our biggest hole had been resolved without a problem. Kain must have done his part in the Old Main Building.
Judging from how things were going, this should lead to escape without a problem. Now that I didnt have to worry about leaving the room, there were other things that I had to worry about.
After Songee was Kain. They were both clearly suspicious of and were even giving out warnings. They would probably be asking a bunch of questions for the whole day, but I knew a day like this would eventually co.
I decided to think about my response.
The police and the firefighters arrived by the ti I was burning down my 7th classroom.
There appeared to be about a hundred visitors at least. Judging from their numbers, the heretics shouldnt even be thinking about killing them. I wasnt into getting shot by a gun so I silently raised both of my hands into the air.
*
It took more ti than I thought for it to be acknowledged as an escape. But thanks to that, I was able to have a clearer idea on the conditions of a successful escape.
The escape condition appeared to be A complete elimination of any chances of being brought to the Old Main Building.

Student Kim Ahri. Are you going to keep doing this at the court?
Im begging you, Judge. Please just give a sentence. I want to leave as soon as possible! Please!
Do you not hear ? Are you looking down on this trial? Tell why you burned the school!
I dont know why you keep asking that question. I told you. I said I lit up a campfire because it was cold.
Do you think that even makes sense
Your Honour. As you can see, the defendant is not sane. Because she had to suffer greatly under the oppressive atmosphere of the preparatory school for a long ti, she has gained ntal
Lawyer, please. Keep your mouth shut. I think I told you more than 5 tis to be quiet.
As you can see, Your Honour, she is clearly out of her mind. The defendant is still young. Instead of sentencing her to the detention centre, if you let her recover her mind at a hospital, shell be able to do many great things for the society in
Ah, please. Stop your nonsense. Im telling you Im going to burn this stupid world down!
It was becoming more and more exhausting. I thought it would be considered an escape as soon as I was physically removed from the school by the police but a physical distance was not enough to escape from this room. I probably had to be locked at a different place like a detention centre or a hospital until graduation and have zero chances of returning to the school.
Thanks to that, everyone was resting after their death and yet I had to suffer for a whole month by myself.
Kain was probably dead as well, and that annoyed even more. For so reason, I was always the one doing all the hard stuff whenever it was just and him, wasnt I? And after leaving this room, he would probably be audaciously asking questions! Unable to hold myself back, I threw the pen that was next to .
Thud!
10 points!
What do you think you are doing, defendant!
It hurts right? So please give a longer sentence.
That day, due to arson, inflicting injury, murder (soone died I guess?) and showing an attitude at the court by hitting the judge, I was sentenced for 11 years.
Wow! I burned a school, killed people and smacked a judge and its still only 11 years? Isnt the Korean law way too nice?
/You have successfully escaped!
Arson, murder and violence. You have committed a variety of sins! What happened? Was that a show of your grudge for the school? But that is still okay! The Hotel has been greatly awed by your rciless determination. Such a side is also a necessary requirent in overcoming trials.
With that, you have completely escaped from the mysterious ritual of a strange religion.
You have escaped the curse, but you sense the root cause of the curse still persists.
One of your team has successfully escaped! Congratulations! The successful escape allows everyone to return safely./
