A young man wearing a white suit and clearly appeared rich was laughing in front of the building. "Hahaha! Come out, beautiful, or you'll be burned alive!"
He was still holding the torch that ignited the gasoline poured around the building. His eyes flashed with wild excitement as he watched the cinders danced, even as his crotch started swelling!

Meanwhile, Mona was pulling Winter as they ran along up on the fifth floor, hiding in an empty classroom and coughing violently because of the smoke surrounding them.
"Just leave me, Mona! Run!" Winter pushed Mona off, trying to get her to flee alone.
There was no doubt that Mona would have gotten past those black-clad men's encirclement if she were alone. Winter certainly knew that Mona was kept inside this building because of her.
On the other hand, Mona was cursing under her breath. "Shit. I was just wondering why they weren't coming after us… They're setting fire to the whole building! That brat's really crazy!"
Then, pursing her lips and glancing behind at her, she said, "It's too late for that, Winter. And if I ran, I'd feel guilty eating all the food your mom made for me every day. Do I look like an ingrate to you? Also, don't worry—I've already called Frank. He'll be here soon."
Since there was no changing Mona's mind, Winter did her best to keep up and avoid the smoke.

As Frank arrived at the lower floors of the campus building, he was anxious even as he looked around the burning floors.
"Who was that?!" Three black-clad men encircling it noticed him just then.
"That's my question! Who are you people, setting fire to a public place?! You monsters!"
"Tough guy, huh?" Though surprised that he was resistant to acupoint interrogation, Frank did not stop there and sealed the man's metatarsal acupoint, leaving him with bone-piercing agony that fired directly into his skull.
"Argh!!!" the black-clad man screamed wildly, drawing the attention of the other black-clad men.
Nonetheless, he soon confessed as it was agony no human could have survived. "Sage Lake Sect… We're from Sage Lake Sect!"
"Sage Lake Sect?! I see! Well, you've asked for it!"
Incensed, Frank smacked the man's scalp, shattering it.
Then, he ran straight into the burning building, leaping onto crumbling pillars to head upstairs.
