Chapter 11: Welcome to The Game Part 2

Keiji ran to Daiki's headless and bloodied corpse, and felt his eyes tearing up. However, he fought them back and looked over at Ayatsuji angrily. "You really are a bitch, aren't you?!" he asked.

"Indeed, I am. Thanks for asking." she replied with a smirk as she walked over to him.

"You know what's even worse for you?" she asked, before taking hold of his neck, attempting to choke him. "If you end up dying during the Program, then so do your father and Whirlwind." she added.

The brown-haired youth attempted to pull her slender yet surprisingly strong hands from his throat, before Mikihiko yelled, "Let him go!"

Keiichi and Keigo immediately came to Keiji's aid, with the taller boy able to pull her hands off of him.

"Are you allright?" the long-haired youth asked.

"I'm...I'm fine. She nearly choked me to death...after she killed my best friend..." he replied.

Kanami, who was clutching at her arm, walked over to Keiji, standing right behind him, with Nobuko following her. The two girls were now close to tears as they examined Daiki's body.

"How could she...?" the brown-haired girl asked.

Ayatsuji then spoke up, "Concerning the Program, it's broadcast live on television for the whole country to see; aside from that, each of you are equipped with randomly selected weapons, and you are also given rations in order to not go hungry. The game will last three days, and as I've said before, only one can get out alive."

"A-Are you sure?" Seiji asked. "What...What about Miss Matsuyama?"

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. She's just too scared to admit it." she replied, pointing over to the television screen with Miyuki, who had her eyes closed shut and was taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

"You're not gonna get away with this!" Keiichi yelled. Miyagi also shared the same sentiment, giving her an icy glare.

"Oh, am I?" Ayatsuji said, smirking once again. "Now, I will call out each of your names, one by one. Starting with boy number 1, Tomoya Hachihara."

Tomoya just got his equipment, and exited the classroom as quickly as possible.

"Girl number 1, Ibuki Sakai."

Ibuki also left the classroom with her things, but with a neutral expression.

"Boy number 2, Yuusuke Kagawa."

Erika looked over at Yuusuke as he also gave her a look of mixed sorrow and concern as he left.

"Girl number 2, Kanami Honda."

Using her jacket to prevent her arm from bleeding more, Kanami nodded and exited the classroom, before Keiji told her, "Meet me outside, okay?" She nodded at his inquiry. Nobuko was also there to hug her, and the brown-haired girl couldn't help but cry.

"Boy number 3, Ichiro Okamoto."

"Girl number 3, Shiori Araki."

The moment Ichiro and Shiori left the classroom, they gave each other death glares before parting ways.

"Boy number 4, Akihito Mori."

Akihito nodded, and exited the classroom, but not before taking a glance at the dead bodies of Sayako and Daiki. Ayatsuji cleared her throat, prompting him to notice as he swiftly exited.

"Girl number 4, Naoko Itagaki."

"Boy number 5, Mikihiko Sakamori."

Mikihiko trembled a bit, before he hurriedly left.

"Boy number 6, Tooru Akiyama."

"Girl number 6, Yumi Nakazawa."

Yumi's right eye began to twitch, and she spoke to herself, "It's allright, Yumi. It's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's just a dream..." over and over as she exited out.

"Boy number 7...my favorite...Keiji Miyazaki."

Keiji just glared at her before getting his stuff and leaving the classroom.

"Girl number 7, Natsuko Harasaki."

Natsuko was noticeably upset as she left.

"Boy number 8, Junpei Ogata."

"Girl number 8, Hana Michizaki."

"Boy number 9, Ayato Mitsurugi."

Ayato scoffed as he got his things and left.

"Girl number 9, Eri Kurimoto."

Eri immediately obtained her inventory, but before she left, she looked over at Yuu, who appeared to be panicking, before a frown appeared on her face. She approached him and gave him a hug, before exiting.

"Boy number 10, Keiichi Ayasato."

"Keiichi..." Shinnosuke said as he looked over at Keiichi, who was quick enough to collect his things and exiting out.

"Girl number 10, Mizuki Akagi."

Mizuki wiped her eyes before she obtained her things and left the classroom, with Keigo giving her a look of concern.

"Boy number 11, Mitsuyoshi Takagi."

Takagi silently got his things before leaving. He was able to find Akihito in the corridors, who asked, "Would you like to become my partner?"

"I don't think so." the taller man replied, before leaving him.

"Girl number 11, Sachiko Oikawa."

As she was leaving, Sachiko was noticeably terrified.

"Boy number 12, Itsuki Nemoto."

"Girl number 12, Tomoko Ichinose."

Once cool as a cucumber, Tomoko was clearly biting her lower lip in fear as she left.

"Boy number 13, Yuu Sekihara."

Yuu was quick enough to get his inventory, and dashed out of the classroom to find Emi.

"Girl number 13, Erika Takashiro."

"Boy number 14, Kohei Sawamura."

"Girl number 14, Ayumu Shiroi."

"Girl number 15, Aoi Matsumoto."

As Aoi obtained her equipment, Kasumi told her, "We're still friends, right?"

The brunette nodded, almost on the verge of tears. "Yeah..." she replied, before leaving.

"Boy number 16, Shinnosuke Tooyama."

Shinnosuke approached the television with Miyuki, and placed his hand on the screen, before he said, "I love you."

This prompted the teacher to notice, and through the gag, she was able to smile.

"Oh, how touching. Now get going." Ayatsuji said sarcastically before commanding him to get his stuff and go.

"Girl number 16, Keiko Hirasaka."

"Boy number 17, Keigo Aoyama."

Keigo nodded before exiting the classroom.

"Girl number 17, Hiromi Murase."

As Hiromi exited the classroom, she hugged Keiko, reassuring her that everything was going to be okay.

"Boy number 18, Seiji Katagiri."

"Girl number 18, Kazue Inoue."

"Boy number 19, Nozomu Hiiragi."

Nozomu was clearly freaking out, his paranoia getting the best of him as he exited.

"Girl number 19, Shizuka Tachibana."

"Boy number 20, Seiichiro Miyagi."

"Girl number 20, Kasumi Nogawa."

"Boy number 21, Yuuichi Hasegawa."

"And finally, girl number 21, Nobuko Nishizaki."

While most of the students were panicking, some were openly crying, whereas others kept a straight face. Once the classroom was empty, Ayatsuji stood and walked over to the television and spoke.

"I hope you enjoy the show as much as I do." she said, a wicked grin appearing on her face.
