Chapter 17: Observation Haki
Just as Shido was feeling awkward about his interaction with Origami, an alarm suddenly resounded, cutting through the atmosphere with urgency.
"There have been precursory signs of an impending spatial quake in this area."
"This is not a drill."
"Please evacuate to the nearest shelter immediately."
Origami's expression immediately shifted to one of seriousness. "Something just came up. See you later," she said curtly before hurrying off without another word.
"Tobiichi..." Shido murmured, his eyes following her fleeting figure as she disappeared into the corner of the school.
Before he could dwell on it further, Kotori's voice buzzed in his earpiece, snapping him back to the present.
"Shido, it's a spatial quake. Come back to Fraxinus immediately."
"Which one is it?"
"The Princess."
The operator and siren took turns to urge everyone to proceed to the shelter. The people in the cars all stopped in designated areas and they got down to run towards the shelters near them.
