BP: As you all know, this is the rewritten version of the Alice Games. I realized I am not good at writing an OT6 fanfic, so I'll just do an OTP fanfic. The OT6 would be good friends only, maybe you readers can help me choose someone for Ryoma? Please REVIEW after reading.

The District 2 guide knocked on the door, waking Ryoma up. Judging by the white light leaking through the curtains, it's probably late morning by now. He got up, refreshed himself in the bathroom, and wore a navy blue shirt with black pants, and headed to the dining car. The guide brushed by him with a cup of black coffee, muttering obscenities about students who like to sleep in.

"Morning Ryoma!" Akira waved to the seat next to her. The moment he slid into his chair he's served an enormous platter of food. Eggs, ham, piles of fried potatoes. A tureen of fruit sat in ice to keep it chilled. The basket of rolls set before him would keep the whole class going for a week. There are elegant glasses of orange juice. Cups of coffee. Rich brown cups of something he never seen before.

"They call it hot chocolate." Akira said. "It's great."

He took one of the cups and took a sip, and it was great, just like Akira said. He took a bit of everything, which is enough to fill him up. He took a second cup of hot chocolate, as his fellow District 2 Students joined the table. He sat back and watched his breakfast companions eating once he's full. Two girls were giggling about some gossip as they ate the eggs. A boy was scarfing down the rolls, and drinking orange juice to help him swallow. Akira was breaking bits of roll and dipping it in hot chocolate, and then draining her cup. Ryoma noticed the Academy in the distance, and realized they are approaching soon.

The train final slows, and it pulled into the station.

"Your luggage will be transported to your rooms tonight, once we decide your Star Ranking through a few tests." The guide said. "We may even allow you to skip grades and take classes with the older students if you're good enough. Follow me, everyone."

District 2 Alice Academy is rather big. There are 4 towers attached to the school at the four corners of the school, which is actually their dorm. However, the dorms are not sorted according to year; it's sorted according to the Star Rank.

They were led to the hall for their first stage of the decided Star Rank and their class, where they are supposed to do a paper test, to test their intelligence. Many questions, ranging from 1st Grade standards to 10th Grade standards, are asked, all are tested on various subjects. They have until noon to answer all the questions. Ryoma, being a genius, is able to answer most of the questions, including the ones that would even stump the older students. That also explained his consistently high test scores while he was in school back in District 6.

After this, they had a one hour break, and then it's time for their private training session, where they were taken to the Training Room, which is at the basement below the school. It is as big as any other floor in the school. You can access the Training Room through the dorm's elevators. Each student would be called in alphabetical order to show the teachers what they are capable of, whether is controlling their Alices or wielding of weapons or even their survival skills, and are scored from 1 to 12, 1 being very low and 12 being unattainably high.

Akira went first as her last name starts with an A. No one came back once they have left, so Ryoma had no idea what Akira did for her test.

Finally, they called Ryoma's name. Ryoma walked in the Training Room, and looked around briefly. The Training Room is an underground gymnasium filled with training stations and obstacle courses is where the District 2 students prepare and practice for the challenges in the Hunger Games. The training stations spaced throughout the center are based on different skills that may be useful in the Games should they be selected.

Ryoma started off with the knife throwing station, where he demonstrated his control of his Eye Illusion Alice by levitating 20 knives at one go, and hitting them dead on at the targets provided. He also transported the knives, and it reappeared behind the target, hitting it from behind. He then demonstrated his superior balance at the gauntlet and his excellent plant knowledge by beating the high score.

The teachers were nodding and smiling, and dismissed him, pointing to a door. He went to the door, and found the people that went before him there.

"Hey, how did it go?" Akira asked.

"Not bad. I showed them what I could do with my Eye Illusion Alice, showed my good balance and my plant knowledge. You?"

"I demonstrated my good use of weapons, especially knife throwing, and also the ability to intercept an attack to hit another target. I had plenty of practice back home, as my brother would throw knives at me to test my skills. That was before he was sorted to District 1 a year ago, of course."

"That's terrible." Ryoma said.

"Not as terrible as his face after I caught the knife, of course." Akira shrugged.

When the last person arrived in the room, the guide came in, and told them that the test scores, training scores, their Star Rank and their assigned class are up on the noticeboard near the cafeteria. While they are there, they can have lunch as well.

Some older students are also there, whispering about the new first years. The Student Council is also there, noting the new students to discuss for their next meeting.

Ryoma looked for his name, and he is assigned to be in the Middle School Division, Year 3 SS Class, as he got a very high score for his written test, and they allowed him to skip three grades. He scored a 10 for his training. What's more, his Star Rank is Special. He looked at Akira's, and she had the same results as him.

"Congrats, Kira-chan. I always knew you're a genius." A voice said from behind them. "But I was hoping you wouldn't be sorted to District 2."

Akira turned around to the owner of the voice and brightened up. The voice belonged to a blonde boy in the High School Division Uniform. He is most likely a first year, judging by his height and slender build. He also had 3 Stars pinned to his collar. "To-chan, it's you!" she squealed, and enveloped him in a big hug, which earned quite a few stares from the crowd. Ryoma smiled at the reunion between two very close-knit cousins.

"So, Akira, this is the youngest Aikawa you're talking about in the train? The one you're very close to?" Ryoma smirked.

Akira nodded. "This is my friend, Ryoma. Ryoma, meet my cousin, Towa."

"Nice to meet you." He shook Ryoma's hand.

"Likewise."

However, Ryoma suddenly remembered something, and he frowned. "Wait, Aikawa-senpai, why would you say you hoped Akira wouldn't get to District 2?"

"We'll talk in the cafeteria. The noise would drown us out." He tugged at Akira's hand, and pulled her to the cafeteria, Ryoma following close behind. The District 2 cafeteria looks luxurious and grand, true, but it's also a scary place. It's a lot like the District 6 grade school's cafeteria- a place to see or be seen, if you're a resident of District 6 and is sorted to District 2, that is. The tables in there are round and would only fit about twelve people, but on each table, there's a tablecloth and also chairs with attached cushions to it, and you can lean back as well.

They flashed their Alice Academy I.D. medals that fit in a wallet along with their respective I.D. cards that was handed to them earlier. After getting their respective lunch portions, which was extremely large, they found a table and sat down together.

"Ok, so what do you mean by your earlier statement?" Ryoma asked his senior.

Towa looked around, and whispered, "Do you know why District 2 has the most victories in the Hunger Games?"

Both of them shook their heads.

"That's because District 2 has a very strict training time. They have training EVERYDAY, and on the weekends, when we do not have lessons, we are made to train for at least 3 hours. Also, we have Dueling Class, where we fight each other every week. Also, the better you are the higher chance you get to be chosen for the Alice Games. If you're smart, so much the better. You can't try to be weak either. If you're weak, physical wise, you're discriminated in many ways: Small food rations, subject to extra chores, general dislike by many teachers, and extra physical training just to shape you up. Also, there are seniors here who like to initiate juniors by ambush, so you better be careful."

"What are you guys talking about, Towa?" A voice asked. The three look up, startled, to see two more people sitting at their table. "And how come you didn't tell us where you're sitting? We're your friends!"

"You scared us, Yuu, Shinonome." Towa looked around. "We were just talking about the dangers of being in District 2." He whispered. "You know the curriculum they set so that we'll have a high chance to win the Alice Games, or better known as the Hunger Games."

Meanwhile, some students were looking for some seats. The other students took one look at them, and they were whispering away. It was the most popular Special Star students in the Academy. All of them are really good-looking, and are members of the Academy's Student Council. They were late for lunch because they were in a meeting about the new Special Star students. Usually, one has to work for the rank during his time in the Academy, but this year, there were two who got the rank by the teachers' decision. They were also transferred to the Year 3 MSD SS Class, an Advanced Class. True, there are many students who offered seats at their table, but they wanted to sit with people who like them for who they are, not because of their results, their looks, or their great control of their Alices.

"Hey, there're seats over there!" Fuji pointed to the seats at Ryoma's table. "Two of them are my friends' lovers, one of them doesn't like us much, but tolerate us for the sake of his friends, and the other two are the Special Star students they heard about at the meeting. Those are definitely the best seats we can have."

His friends nodded, got their food, and made a beeline for Ryoma's table.

"Can we sit here?" Fuji asked, smiling at them.

BP: Well, I like Warui series a lot, don't blame me if it's bad because of them, I also had 10 minutes, and I had writer's block. Do review, though!
