A/N: Sorry again for the wait. I really need to update faster. After this chapter, there will only be one more introduction chapter, and then the fun will begin! Let's get this thing going, shall we? Here is the next 4th of your students.~

-Xenoxa


I guess that this guy wasn't awful to have around. He was going to introduce me to people, and I didn't have to say a word. I guess there are generous people in the world. They're just very small in numbers and are buried underneath all the horrible people. Mikoto pointed out some boy in a crowd, who of course noticed us. He gave us a shy smile, and of course made his way over to us. He was, thankfully, around average height, so I didn't have to look up to the peak of Mount Everest to see his face. "Hello there.~" He sang to us, instead of just speaking. His talent was probably singing or something. His hair was bright blond and neatly combed, and had bangs that swayed to the left side of his face, where he also had a beauty mark. He had pale blue eyes, as well as pale skin. The fancy tail-coat he wore over a dressy white shirt was navy, and had some sort of floral design on the sleeve. He also had a necklace, a chain with two rings attached to it, black slacks, and some navy and gold mask on his face, and black gloves. This guy sure looked fancy. He gave me a look, so I must have accidentally said it out loud. "Tristan, this is Ferris Alikkeson. He's an opera singer."

Ferris Alikkeson: SHSL Baritone

"Nice to meet you." Remember the three S's, which are short, sweet, and simple. "Nice to meet you to, Tristan.~" Thankfully he didn't ask about my talent, but made up for it by singing. I didn't really see what the big deal was about knowing. "Hey, Ferris, what do you think about our situation? I hope we get rescued." Mikoto decided to start a conversation with him, so I backed off a bit. "Who knows. Maybe we will be rescued.. Maybe not, although I really hope so. You don't know what will happen, you know?" He stopped singing and fell into his own thoughts. "You really should try to introduce yourself a bit better. Ferris is nice." I shrugged, not really wanting to. This man with his chuckling. Probably nervous. He laughed a bit at me, and continued to talk to Ferris. "Hopefully, gotta stay optimistic, you know?" Ferris nodded in agreement.

They continued to chatter about whatever, so I took the opportunity to step off a bit, looking over the other students. There was still a lot that I didn't know. Maybe we will all be killed before I get to know them. I felt a slight tug on my hood, as Mikoto pulled me back to the conversation. There is a thing called personal space, which apparently he doesn't respect. "Oh well. It was nice meeting you.~" With that, he made his way back to the sea of wild animals, not literally. Mikoto chuckled at himself, before turning back to me. "He seems nice." I didn't say anything in return, still quite frustrated with him, which he was perfectly fine with. "Let's see, there are still quite a few people left. Is there anyone in particular you want to learn about?" I shook my head, and let him do all the work instead. He sighed at me, and played with one of his belts, obviously pouting. "You're no fun." "Sorry." He scanned the remaining students, and his eyes landed on a girl.

Tugging on my sleeve, he pointed over at her, which thankfully she didn't notice us staring. She was also about average height, and was fairly skinny. Her hair was dark red that fell to the middle of her back, and brown eyes that were accompanied by some eyeliner. Her nose and upper lip were both pierced, as well as two piercings on each ear. For a shirt she had a baggy red shirt with a cross on it, over a black tank top. She had dark blue skinny jeans that were ripped, and bright yellow sneakers. On her wrists she had rainbow bracelets, some hair clips that held her bangs out of her face, and a blue necklace with a heart on it. She looked a bit familiar, but I wasn't able to tell from such a far distance. "The girl with the red hair is Miharu Fujimoto."

Oh, so that's why she looked familiar. I remember this girl from my school. She had won a talent contest with singing, and some record dealers took interest in her. She ended up making a band called Paranormal Neon, which I didn't mind listening to. So, she ended up leaving my school to go tour and other things, so I haven't seen her in years. She seemed pretty nice, but I never spoke to her. She's probably changed by now.

I felt a shove on my back, which of course was from Mikoto, and he told me to go and try to talk to her. He gave me a look, which clearly meant that he wouldn't take no for an answer. Begrudgingly, I walked over to her, a bit slowly to buy some time. Thankfully she wasn't talking to anyone at the time, but was just in deep thought. Finally noticing me, she looked up, and smiled at me. "Hello there! I don't know who you are!" That worked out as planned. She didn't change, though, as she was still as loud and bubbly as before. "Tristan.. I used to go to your school. You're Miharu, right?"

She looked at me for a second, as if studying my face. Something clicked in her brain as she gasped a bit, and flashed a huge grin. "Tristan! I hardly recognized you! You look so gloomy compared to the old days!"I tensed a bit, really not wanting to think about that at a time like this. It would just add on to the stress. "Some people just change." She nodded intensely. "I guess you're right. You're a prime example!" I sighed. She really didn't change. "How have you been? It's surprising to see you here! I really can't think of what your title would be, though!" "I play video games.. That's it." Another grin was flashed at me, which I didn't really mind. It reminded me of the time when things were normal. "That's cool! You probably already guessed it, but I'm here as a rock singer."

Miharu Fujimoto: SHSL Rock Singer

I did guess that. That's probably the best thing I've done since I've been here. "I figured. Do you know what's going on?" She tapped her chin a bit, deep in thought. "No idea.. It may be an entrance exam of some sort.. But if we were personally invited, then why would we need that?.." That's true. If we were invited directly, we shouldn't have to take any entrance test. If that wasn't the case, then what was? Clicks of heels rang behind me, and Mikoto appeared behind me. Miharu gave him a wide smile. "Hello again! How is the weather up there?" They both laughed some. "Pretty good. Not a cloud in sight." Miharu giggled, and she turned back to me. "I've noticed you've been over there being gloomy, want to meet some more people?" I really didn't want to, but I had to figure out who everyone was one way or another. Agreeing, Miharu pulled me away from Mikoto, who disappeared into the crowd.

Miharu dragged me up to another student, who was also about average size, and was a bit pudgy. She had dark blonde hair that ended around her neck, which had a pink headband in it, and big brown eyes concealed by red-rimmed glasses. A long sleeved gray shirt covered her torso and was accompanied with a dark purple skirt. She gave me a look, which was a bit menacing. "Who are you?" Miharu stepped in, not wanting any unnecessary bickering. "Tristan, this is Tania Marche. She's an anime artist."

Tania Marche: SHSL Anime Artist

I was never a fan of anime. My time was consumed by video games, so it's only natural that I wouldn't take an interest in it. Either way, I decided to shake her hand anyway. "Tristan? Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too." She scowled at me. "You could be a little bit more friendly, you know? It wouldn't kill you." I felt my eyebrow twitch. What was her problem? "Now now, there isn't any need for that, is there?" Miharu jumped in, trying her best to prevent an argument. It wasn't really working, though. "I didn't do anything wrong.. He's just so gloomy." I sighed, since there was probably no getting around this girl.

"Hey, you guys. It would probably best to not fight.." Some other guy walks up to us, looking a bit nervous or shy. He was also average height, though he was a bit on the short side. Not that I had room to talk. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, and was pale with freckles. He had on a white shirt with a brown sweater over it, along with brown pants and black shoes. On his head was a blue baseball cap, which completely clashed with his entire outfit. "Just in time! Joey, meet Tristan. He plays video games! Why don't you introduce yourself?" I shrugged as Miharu introduced me yet again to the other students. "That's fine..! I'm Joey Weston, a poet! It's great to meet you, Tristan!"

Joey Weston: SHSL Poet

Not very surprising, but I haven't heard of him, but his name didn't sound very original. "Likewise." Miharu patted him on the shoulder, poking fun at him about his hat. "This guy is impressive too! His poetry is really good! It would work really good in a song, wouldn't it Joey?" She smiled at him, which I still wasn't tired of, surprisingly. "Do you think so? Thank you!" He smiled back at her, and they stood there awkwardly. A scoff was heard from Tania, who was still hanging around. "I'm guessing you don't know what's going on either.. I'm getting really tired of this. I want to go home." The others nodded in agreement. "It's probably not an entrance exam.. What could we be locked in here for?" I shook my head, not having a clue. Surely someone in here knew what was going on. I looked over at the other students I had yet to meet. They all looked quite menacing, so I didn't really want to start trouble with them. Sadly, I would have to meet them sooner or later, so I decided to do it sooner so I could get it out of the way.

A/N: And that closes this introduction chapter. I hope you like how I have portrayed your/the characters! I have also planned the murders, so if you want to spoil your characters outcome only, then you can PM me and I will fill you in. Of course I can't tell you another characters outcome, since that would take away more of the magic than what needs to be. So, there is only one introduction chapter left, which will give us around 5 more students, and then after that will start the mutual killing! I hope you enjoy the story.
