But suddenly the woman panicked and stepped back and said with a sweat and worries, "You...are an illusion, right? You are someone else, and showing me someone else, right? But remember, I can use my--"
"Come on, don't be a fool." But Zero didn't understand, he was a little bit annoyed and said, "First of all, don't tell your strength and power before using it, show don't tell. It's so annoying part of fiction, already telling what you can do, learn to give surprises to the enemies."
The woman was stunned...Zero roasted him in no time, and she started sweating and said, "Maybe you are right...do you know my power?"
Zero stood and gave a sigh, "Well, I don't know but I can assume by where you were walking towards. Maybe you would be hypnotize like others but why would you come when it's coming to end. And I just stopped you because it's foolish walking to the deadly chasm. It would be of no use."
The woman was confused, "...Wait, so you are a student and the only one who isn't in the control of her?"
"There's also one girl I guess. She's in the assembly hall, in senses but she's aware of things. We suggested her to remain calm and don't act and just avoid the spells."
"We?"
"There's the Screen, who would be talking with her. But she's just a screen, not a human."
The woman was surprised and also confused at the same time, "Screen...? You mean System?"
"No, Screen."
Although the Screen and System are the same things, but Zero doesn't knows that it is called System and the woman doesn't know that it is also called Screen, so they both assumed it as different things.
"Ok..." The woman was confused too much but she kept everything aside and asked, "But why were you stopping me to enter in that, I could save--"
"It's of no use," And now Zero explains his reason, "You may stop them, but don't you think your power would be exposed, and you will be hunted. And in case you aren't in danger, but everyone else would still be in it, they will come up with a better idea and your plan won't work again... let's just continue how it's going."
The woman thought for a second...and it made sense, the reason was valid. She thought that she maybe wouldn't have thought like that-- but suddenly, she remembered about someone, she knew and would be smart like Zero.
She started sweating, smiled and said, "Well, that makes sense. But would you mind, telling me your name?"
But suddenly Zero heard some footsteps. He started sweating and ignored the question and asked, "Do you know how far can the main enemy sense of the dummies? Like, as there's the one who controls everyone so at how far would the main stop getting the signals from the dummy, at radius or square area?"
The question was weird for the woman, but she could answer, "Um...as much power I can sense, the main enemy is using...it would be like outside the fences. There her power wasn't able to be sense by others. But why do you ask?"
Suddenly the teacher finally caught Zero, he was standing behind the woman and the woman realized his presence by the shadow. She turned back and the teacher raised his hand to hit--
But the teacher lost once again, the prey had disappeared. He looked at the fences, and Zero was holding the woman by her arms and he barely saved her.
Zero had no choice now, but to believe in the woman. The woman got out Zero and Zero asked, "Can you climb the fences?"
The woman realized the plan, she nodded her head and she ran to the fences and started climbing and passed the school fences easily.
Zero was happy that she would escape...but now how he will climb the fences, he doesn't know how to climb.
"Hey!!! You just run away now!!!"
But the woman didn't run away, she was confused and said, "Come on, we both can defeat him easily. Just climb the fences and bring him here where we won't be exposed."
Zero started sweating, "I know...but I don't know how to climb fences."
The woman started sweating.
"...Are you serious?"
But Zero became calm, he will somehow manage everything, he knows. He just commanded, "You should actually run away before he breaks the fences. I am ordering... just run away, but if you still worried about me then come after five minutes back here."
But the woman couldn't believe in him, she doesn't knows how he can defeat the teacher.
"It's a 50-50, I will believe in you in what you said and you will believe in me. It's the 50-50."
Suddenly a screen on the sky and the woman was shocked to see it. Everything was stopped, even Zero was frozen and it was just the woman who could move. She never expected...
"...He can use the 50-50 Promise?" The woman couldn't understand it, and said, "Time will remain stopped until I don't agree with the believe, and he has already accepted by believing in me."
The woman had no choice, but to do what promise Zero made, otherwise time would remain stop forever. She gave a sigh with a little bit of anger, and said, "He's such a... stubborn kid."
And the woman finally started running, and time continued and the teacher blowed his another punch breaking the fences.
The woman didn't stop, she can't otherwise the time would stop again.
The woman continued running as far as she could and looked at the clock, almost 3 minutes had passed since she's running and she finally turned back and started running back faster this time.
The promise was that she can come back after minutes, so running back would also take time.
The five minutes passed, the 50-50 promise had ended and the woman stopped...and her eyes widened with a shock. She saw Zero in her eyes, cleaning his lips by his hand.
Zero wore his mask again, the teacher was lying down on the ground and Zero looked at her.
The woman was frozen, she realized what Zero just now did. But Zero was still calm and said, "Can you free them?"
