Authors Note: So, this is my first attempt at writing a Battle Royale fanfiction, I hope you readers out there enjoy it. Some words of warning: This story contains strong language, violence, plenty of blood and other twisted things (it's Battle Royale, what else did you expect?), so if you're uncomfortable with these kinds of things, then please refrain from reading this.

The above students will be taken to the location of the Program on Thursday 12th June directly from your school under the guise of a study trip, so as to avoid suspicion from the participants and any resistance by friends and/or relatives. Attendance at school on this day is mandatory for all students involved. Any resistance or leaking of information by you, other personnel or other students and friends will not be tolerated and will be punishable by either incarceration, or in extreme cases, death. Please send the addresses of all participating students to us, so as to inform their next of kin before the Program gets under way.

We thank you kindly for your co-operation.

Yours sincerely,

Taro and Hanako Yamada, joint-heads of the Educational Reform Act Program
