Jason stored the perennial neoxid box with the Holy white bacuri inside away as they continued their shopping trip while his whole fortune was already used up except a small sum.
It was already late afternoon and the youths were about to go back to the Fler parents when a loud siren sound voiced through the alley and the whole city.
**Attention please, attention, please…
Due to some unforeseen reasons, a large number of beasts have stepped through the magical dome. They are now on their way to the city walls.
Please stay calm and go to the closest shelter or into safe proximity.This is not a test. This is not a test! **
`Huh?` Jason, Malia, and Greg looked at each other, not sure what to do or where to go! Greg and Jason were never in such a situation and they hoped Malia was more proficient with such situations.
The first one who came back down to earth was Malia and she opened the map of Jiro city and set a route to the closest shelter to them.
But before they could even go, they heard loud roars from outside the city resounding through the streets as a black mass covered the sky from the side they were able to hear the roars.
It was unknown what happened, but when they saw the huge black mass, they felt scared and it was as if black eyes threatened their whole existence.
Once they recovered from their fright, they began to rush to the next shelter like thousands of thousands of humans did.
The shopping alley was overflowed with humans and everyone charged in the same direction, not caring if they overrun anything.From the corner of his eyes, Jason could even see a young girl crying on the side alone and he wanted to help, when he was pushed away by an expert-ranked man, whose eyes were filled with fear.
Not understanding, what's going on, Jason was even slightly scared of getting overrun by higher-ranked humans, as their speed was faster than him.
He would be left alone if Malia and Greg didn't slow down for him, covering him slightly with their higher physique.
It was ridiculous to see that even laborers and normal receptionists were faster than Jason and probably also stronger even if their combat experience was close to zero.
While running many thoughts streamed through his mind
'Can the soldiers handle the beast tide? Why does everyone rely on others and don't fight back even if their strength could be high enough to fight unblemished beasts?` and many more questions ran through his mind but the latter question tormented his mind more than any other of his questions.
When they arrived in front of the shelter, the three youths could finally see humanity's true nature because hundreds of humans stood in front of the already closed gates and they seemed scared to their bones... Hitting the closed gates while tears poured down their desperate faces.
Shock could be seen in them and small kids gripped their parents firmly, not understanding what was going on...
Greg was taken aback "Did they lock out everyone?? Is that some kind of bad joke?!"
They also began to feel scared because at their rank it didn't matter how strong they were, they couldn't defeat tens of thousand beasts
Malia was still relatively calm and looked at the people in front of the closed gates
"Ahh, why is our race such trash?! To save ourselves we would sacrifice so much…"
And Jason sensed the disgust in her voice, without blaming her feelings, as he could understand her feelings completely
Apparently, the humans within the shelter closed the gates as soon as a certain number was inside and even if there was enough space left, they threw away their charity and love for their race and closed the gates, locking them firmly.
The next shelter would be quite a distance away and Jason who was somehow calm because Artemis was by his side made a decision before Malia could even say anything.
"We can either search for your parents or hide somewhere...I'm not sure which places are the best to hide but searching for your parents is more likely suicidal because we don't know where exactly they are.
Give them an emergency signal with your GPS activated and they can rescue us as soon as possible.
If nothing major happens in their district, they will come to us."
Malia looked at Jason a little bit astonished because he could remain calm despite a beast tide occurring right in front of them and she nodded approvingly.
Every company or slightly larger shop had a safe room and they decided to hide in a small shop which took in a few people until it was filled.
Once the door was closed a small group of boys and girls, probably first-grade middle schoolers began to cry because they couldn't take the pressure.
Jason was relatively calm because he had faced many beasts and was somewhat naive because he bought a pistol and was expectant to use it which irritated him.
`Why am I expectant?!?! There are thousands of humans are dying each second?` Jason thought and his excitement died down within seconds.
It was unknown if the armor-piercing bullets could penetrate unblemished ranked beasts but Jason was confident that they could at least hurt them with enough mana injected.
Greg and Jason were not normal youths compared to other kids at the age of 13-14 because Jason matured faster due to his responsibilities and his disease while Greg matured slightly faster than others because he faced reality in elementary school in addition to his many battles against beasts, even though he still behaved like a child sometimes.
It looked like Malia faced many beast tides because she was even calmer than Jason and before he had said something she had already send the emergency signal to her parents.
Beast tides weren't uncommon but mankind´s nature was unpredictable.
It was unknown if the beast tide was even able to reach the outer district, maybe neither the inner district and people were already panicking this much?
If everyone would be behaving like they were, humanity would have already gone extinct 300 years ago.
While waiting for the soldiers to clear out the beast tide, Jason could still access the network with his quantum bracelet as he tried to relax by watching some martial art technique videos about the higher understanding of the Azure feisty Ape technique with the dual-dagger mastery modification.
Previously he had only watched them with the single dagger mastery but now he changed his decision.
While Jason watched the videos, trying to stay calm, he stayed on-guard.
But even so, almost everyone looked at him oddly.
`How could someone be so calm while a beast tide occurred? What's wrong with this youth..and where can I get such contact lenses...they are so good looking.`
The scared group of middle-aged men, women, and middle school students thought.
Greg was still stiff but seeing Jason eased up his tension somewhat as he sat down next to him in order to watch some videos.
Right now Greg was stronger than Jason in all aspects, soulbond, strength, mana core rank, and probably even more but Jason´s calmness caused Greg's fear to die down and he wanted to be closer to him because he felt saver this way, which was completely illogical.
Malia also sat down next to Jason but only because she thought Jason was putting on a facade.
However, that wasn´t totally the case and Jason only hoped that the beast tide would end soon.
Rather than putting on a facade, Jason was sure that magical beasts weren't able to threaten a B-grade city… At least they wouldn't be able to completely annihilate it and even if they could, Jason wouldn't be able to do anything against it.
But the main problem Jason figured out was that the possibility that a few Guardian-ranked beasts which were the rank above magical beasts led this beast tide was high, because the roars Jason heard, were somewhat familiar.
It felt as if Jason knew what kind of race caused the beast tide but he just couldn´t remember what it was.
Furthermore, there seemed to be many different kinds of beasts Jason heard and they wouldn´t gather together just to attack the City without preying on each other if there was not something forcing them to attack Jiro-city.
If Jason was not wrong, someone should have either picked up a magical treasure or stolen a guardian stage beast cub to cause such a disaster, otherwise, he couldn´t think of any reason for Guardian ranked beasts to attack a B-grade city, risking their lives for.
Jason was way too confident in himself because his eyes were superior to others, his soul was unique if there was not his soul energy and his combat prowess was also quite good but even if he added everything together, he still couldn't face the thread of such beasts at the moment, which frustrated him.
Understanding the situation they were inside once again, Jason decided to create the best possible outcome with his current ability by doing something that not many heroic authorities would do.
Watching Videos to calm down his surrounding!!
