Sometimes later In the hallway outside of the Fujimi Academy's faculty room as the sun started to set while the slight orange hue of the early evening light dried out the landscape of Tokonosu City, the sound of shuffling footsteps, the bestial growls, and the listless moans could be heard from the opposite side of the faculty room before the sounds grew closer and louder as a small group of zombies could be seen moving towards the faculty room.
"Ohhhhh..."
"Grrrrr..."
After managing to stumble their way up the stairs from the first floor, the group of zombies that was attracted by Saya's hysterical scream earlier finally arrived and is currently searching for their prey while they wobble around the hallway outside of the faculty room without approaching the double door of the faculty room, where Zeno and the others were taking refuge inside.
"Grrrr…,"
"Ahhhh…"
The sound of the zombies and the thumping of their rotting flesh bumping against the walls and windows resounded through the floor while they started roaming around aimlessly near the faculty room as they sensed no sign of any living prey nearby. There are fifteen zombies in total that have gathered outside, both male and female students, with various stages of decay, from the freshly turned to the ones that had been rotting for hours, their clothes torn and stained with blood.
Nothing seemed to happen for quite a while until the double door of the faculty room suddenly swung open with a bang as Zeno walked out of the room with his pistol drawn, pointing at the nearest zombie while all of the zombies instantly turned their heads towards the faculty room where the prey suddenly appeared.
Everything seemed to slow down as Zeno, with a smirk on his lips, calmly looked at the group of zombies that had gathered outside before he started to shoot them down one by one with a swift and precise headshot as the zombies' heads jerked back before they collapsed on the ground with a bullet hole in their heads. It was as if Zeno had a real-life aimbot since he only needed a second to aim and pull the trigger to kill one zombie while his hand that was holding the pistol barely moved from the gun's recoil.
The quiet pew-pew sounds of the suppressed pistol fires and the bullet's casing that bounced on the ground resound in the second-floor hallways as the sounds of growling and moving zombies are quickly snuffed out by the bullets that pierce their skulls without them being able to get close to their prey. The sight of Zeno quickly and effortlessly gunning down the zombies was quite morbidly impressive to the group of students and two teachers who had not witnessed the real gun in action before as they followed behind him out of the faculty room, except Kouta, who knows things about guns, of course…
"His form is a mess… How did he do that…?"
Kouta muttered bewilderingly as he stared at Zeno's amateurish form in shooting a pistol that somehow still managed to headshot every target like a pro. He looks down at his own improvised nail gun and wonders if he is the one who has been doing it wrong this entire time. And that suppressor of Zeno's pistol is also quite extraordinary, as it actually reduced the noise of the gun just like in the movies.
"To be able to reduce the noise this much…!"
Kouta's eyes were shining as he looked at Zeno's obviously custom pistol and noise reducing suppressor with envy. He wants one, two… no! He wants ten of that suppressor at least…!
Everyone ignored the drooling Kouta as the last zombie fell to the ground. The hallway was now clear, though the stench of rotting flesh and blood lingered in the air. Zeno looked over his shoulder at the group, who were still standing in the doorway with a mix of awe and intrigue on their faces while ignoring the fat one with a deranged look on his face. He smirked at them before he proceeded to change his pistol's magazine as he pulled out a new magazine from underneath his suit jacket.
"It's your lucky day that I'm here, huh?"
Zeno said to them while he finished changing his pistol's magazine. He's not even worried about running out of bullets since before the outbreak even started; he already had developed a new technique that uses Touki and Godblood to create a temporary construct that will disappear later depending on how big and complex the construct is, so he can technically have an infinity bullet or projectile.
All he has to do is let Godblood create a temporary Touki construct magazine that is filled with Touki construct bullets and gunpowder in the bullets, which costs him a negligible amount of Touki energy per mag. And then it just works!
"Now, let's move, people. We still have to get to the parking lot, and I don't want to wait until nightfall."
The group nodded and followed behind Zeno closely. They had discussed their plan of escaping the school by the bus in the parking lot and decided to stick together until they reached the parking lot, where Zeno would separate from them to escape in his own car. Zeno wants to skip the cutscene and go to Rika's house and wait for them there since, just like in canon, the traffic will be clogged with cars, and they will eventually have to abandon it and find a shelter elsewhere because of the four-eyes that fancies himself a cult leader.
But then again, Shido is probably dead by now because of Zeno's secret ministration. Zeno doesn't really have any patience to deal with such a lowlife, especially the one that likes to yap a lot, so he just straight up got rid of him with a little hypnosis spell.
At first, Zeno was having trouble deciding which method and plot he would use to get rid of Shido, but then he realized that this professional scumbag was just a small fly and was not really worth such an effort from him, so he just hypnotized Shido before the day of the outbreak to sacrifice himself to save as many people as possible without caring about his own safety when the time comes. At least this way Shido can actually contribute something to society, right?

Flashback before Zeno and Kyoko came out of the principal's office.
"UWOOOAAAAHHH!! SEEEEEEEEX!! UWAAAAAAHHHHHH!! SEEEEEEEEX!!!!"
The male teacher with glasses is screaming with all his heart as he pushes the two infected students by their throats against the window in the third-floor hallway while the chaos is currently going on with people running for their lives and zombies attacking anyone they can get their hands on.
"I WILL BECOME SEX!! I AM, MY EXISTENCE, MY ENTIRE BEING!! I WILL DEFINITELY BECOME SEX!! SEEEEEEEEX!!!!!!"
Shido is screaming some incomprehensible thing with so much passion that it confuses the running students and the female student that he has saved from the two zombies that he is currently pushing against the window with hysterical strength.
"Please stop, Shido-sensei! They will bite you!"
The female student cried out as she pulled on Shido's shirt as she desperately tried to help somehow but ultimately was not really being very helpful. If Shido is still sane, he's definitely giving her a slap. It is because of her being here and not escaping that he has to keep holding off the zombies to begin with.
"NO!! I WILL BECOME SEX! I WILL DEFINITELY BECOME SEX NO MATTER WHAT!!"
Shido continues to scream as he denies the female student while he pushes the zombies against the window harder.
"SEEEEEEEEX!! SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX!!"
The window started to crack as the glass-cracking noise grew louder, and the spiderweb began to form on the window behind the two zombies backs.
"Stop!! The glass is breaking, Sensei! Please stop! Why do you keep shouting dumbass things?!"
The female student grew frustrated by Shido's recklessness as she was now hitting his back with her fists in hopes of making him see reason, which ultimately was not really helpful to anyone.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!! EVEN IF I DIE, I WILL BECOME SEX!!"
Shido responds to the female student's plea with even more force in his push. The glass groaned ominously for a second before the window finally broke, as Shido and the two zombies ended up falling out of the third floor under the shocked eyes of the girl.
"UWWWOOOOOO!! SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX~!"
The passionate scream of Shido could be heard by everyone in the school for a few seconds before the sound was abruptly cut off.
"Shido-senseeeeeeeeeei~!!"
Ultimately Shido, the professional scumbag and full-time lowlife, had managed to save fifty people before his glorious death.

Back to the present, the sound of Zeno and the group's footsteps seemed to echo through the desolate hallways as they moved in a tense silence while cautiously looking at the classrooms they walked past for any surprise attack from the zombie.
Eventually they arrived at the stairways leading to the first floor, where, in the canon, there will be a group of students fighting against the zombies there, which the main character group will rescue and recruit.
"No one, huh?"
Zeno muttered under his breath as he saw no sign of anyone living or dead at that place where they supposed to be. It seemed like either they had already escaped or were already dead and ended up being in the group of zombies killed by Zeno earlier. He doesn't really remember their faces after all.
Now Zeno is sure that there's no fate or destiny in this world; otherwise, those students would probably be here fighting off the zombies.
"No dramatic escape then..."
Zeno chuckled quietly.
