BREAKING: ANOTHER ONE DEAD
Another murder has occurred on the campus of one of Japan's most prestigious schools. There have been two previous killings last week, students Musume Ronshaku and Kokona Haruka. This week, a teacher has fallen to this unknown murderer, veteran educator Shiori Risa.
There was a knife at the scene of all the crimes with the victim's blood on them, but no other DNA. Forensic investigators predict the killer wore gloves while committing these crimes.
The school's guidance counsellor states, "Police are helping us to determine the identity of this killer. Our friends and colleagues did not die in vain." The headmaster was not available for comment.

Pippi sighed, and pushed away the newspaper. She, being a sane person, was scared now, but no one would murder in the computer lab, right? She never did anything to anyone, and besides, the last few took place behind the school. She turned around, and kept playing, but not once was she able to beat her high score like usual. She wanted to know the truth.

Ryuto's life is getting complicated. He has a crush on the Akademi Osu! Champion, he's running for Gaming Club President against said Akademi Osu! Champion, his lucky bandanna is getting old and fraying, he has mega-hard exams, and on top of all that, there are all these murders in the school now. He'll never be as good at Osu! as Pippi, but nowadays, it's his only escape from the murders and lies. Ryuto wants to know the truth to get out of his digital world.

Midori's life has been significantly happier since she started the school vlog series "Akademi Whisperer". She always asks her friend Alex to help her with secrets, but lately she's been hearing a lot from a mysterious redhead who asks for favours in return for juicy stories. Midori's not stupid, she has a bunch of questions about this girl, and when she has questions, she wants answers. Midori just wants to know the truth.

Sho has been training in martial arts for as long as he could remember, but he could never beat his tutor, Budo Masuta. He suspects something, because ever since they were little, they trained together, and would only train with each other for the same amount of time, learning the same things, so how could Budo be infinitely better than him? Sho wants the truth, no matter what.

The murderer is out there, and the murderer will spill their blood if they find the truth.

Hi guys! This is a story I will work on occasionally, but not as much as Moon Skies. What do you think of the characters? What do you think of the murders? Leave constructive criticism, and thanks for reading the first chapter of The Bloody Truth!
