Chapter 30

“This is my stuff,” Emily said, puffing up her chest. She was a powered human now. There was no way she was going to let Chloe down.

But honestly, she was putting on a brave face. After being bullied for so long, running into her old tormentor again, no matter how different she was now, the old fears still lingered.

Chloe, watching from the corner, felt a sense of satisfaction. At least Emily had made progress,

The tall girl froze for a moment, clearly not expecting Emily to stand up to her. Her face twisted in anger.

“Figures,” she said, crossing her arms. “Just a nobody from the sticks. I could understand your petty theft, but now you’re stealing in front of everyone?”

Emily’s face flushed with anger. “What are you talking about? When have I ever stolen anything?”

“Then what’s in your hand?” the tall girl shot back, pointing at the sack Emily was trying to hide behind her back. She’d seen plenty of people like Emily, always pretending to be something better, but in the end, they were just losers.

“I…” Emily was so angry she couldn’t get the words out.

Just then, a sharp voice cut through the tension. “If we’re thieves, then what does that make you? Bandits?”

The tall girl spun around, and when she saw Chloe, her tough-girl act instantly crumbled. “What’s that supposed to mean?” she said. “Everything in this dorm has an owner. I’m the floor leader. If there’s anything suspicious, it should be handed over

to me.”

“Seriously?” Chloe stepped forward. “I’ve seen shameless people before, but you’re on a whole new level. You want us to hand over everything to you, and then what? You’re gonna go around and return it to everyone one by one?”

As she spoke, she walked up to them.

time stealing from us, why don’t you raid other dorms for supplies? Don’t wait “Here’s a suggestion. Instead of wasting your t until we’ve taken everything and then come begging for scraps.” She punctuated her words by tapping the back of her machete against her palm.

“W-Wait and see!” the tall girl said, turning and storming off with her three friends.

They didn’t dare go downstairs, so they stuck to scavenging on the twelfth floor. Luckily, they found plenty of snacks and didn’t bother Emily again. But every time they crossed paths, they glared at her.

“What are you looking at?” Emily asked, her eyes blazing as she waved the machete. “Keep staring, and I’ll hack you to pieces!”

She had a weapon. She was a powered human, and she’d already killed plenty of zombies. Why should I be scared of a few unarmed girls?’ she thought.

After a few days of training with Chloe, Emily was finally starting to build some real confidence.

After absorbing a zombie core, she was able to control the glass beads for longer and even move bigger things, like plates

and bowls.

She still thought her powers were a bit useless, but seeing the look of excitement in Chloe’s eves every time she showed off

With a wave of her hand, Chloe stored all the supplies that had cluttered up two-thirds of the dorm, making them disapp into her spiritual space.
