A/N:
Hello! Finally I updated it! Sorry for being slow...I was busy reading so many stories on here I stalled with updating this story. This is going to be the last chapter for this year of 2013! The next chapter will be uploaded in January (I think) which is a new year! The only thing I've accomplished this year was getting into new animes and fandoms. xD Hetalia was one of them (In May)! :D Anyways enjoy the chapter~!

We all gathered in the gym waiting for Sekai to say something.
"Good, everyone is here. Now let's get down to business shall we? Ahem, I am your headmaster, Sekai."
"H-headmaster?!" said Emma, "But how could something like you be our headmaster?"
Sekai started sulking, "That really hurts my feelings…"
"Really? I'm sorry then", said Emma
"Ha, you really think that would hurt my feelings?" he giggled, "Well at least you apologized. Now please quiet in the audience. You guys are our world's greatest hope. Learning about countries to be able to protect and ensure survival of humanity. You guys are to live the rest of your lives inside this building. You are able to maintain order and dwell together in peace. Erm… to simply put it, you guys are required to spend the rest of your lives here in this school."
"Our lives?!" said Mei.
"Yup! But don't worry; we have plenty of supplies to make sure you guys are comfortable."
Lili started to hesitate, "Y-you can't be serious….right?"
"Of course I'm serious, why would I make up something like that?"
"Don't listen to him guys he's obviously playing with us", said Natalia.
"I am not a liar! Oh yeah, this school has been entirely cut off from the outside."
Cut off? "Wait…do you mean those iron plates in the rooms and the halls?" I said.
Victoria came up to me, "What do you mean, Arthur?"
I turned to look at her, "There are iron plates all over the place. They're covering up the windows."
Everyone's reactions looked like a mixture between confused and shocked. Did they not know about it? I guess I was the only that noticed it.
"Whaaaat? You guys except Arthur didn't notice them? Well yeah they are all over the school. Man you humans can be so dumb sometimes." said Sekai. "Those iron plate's shows proof that you guys cannot leave this place. Therefore, I am NOT lying! You can cry and scream your lungs out all you want to, no one's coming to help you. Now enjoy the rest of your lives in the academy."
"W-what the hell man…" said Yao. "Even if it's a joke that's going way to far aru…"
"That's bullshit! Quit messing with us! It's really pissing me off," shouted Gilbert.
"You guys never learn do you? What a complicated bunch of people. Well whatever, you guys can verify if I'm lying or not on your own. You guys will come to realize that I'm telling the truth."
"I can't bear to live the rest of my life in here…" said Lili
"Oh? But you guys actually agreed to come here at Hetalia Academy on your own free will did you not?"
"But we didn't expect to be trapped here!" shouted Alfred.
"W-we really can't leave?" said Katyusha.
That's when Sekai smiled. It was so wide and big that it showed his razor sharp teeth. He looked quite scary when all you could see was his mouth, ears, paws, and the bottom half of his body. Curses, why did he have that hoodie on? What was so wrong about hiding his appearance? That freak that stands on two legs….
"There is one way to leave this place", he began.
"R-really?!" said Vlad. Relief flooded through everyone.
"Of course! I am the headmaster after all. I have to put up a special system for anyone who wishes to leave. It's called graduation!" He sounded way too happy.
"As I said, you guys are responsible for maintaining order, but if someone were to destroy that order they alone would be able to graduate."
"What do we have to do in order to graduate?" said Im.
"Oh you guys are so funny, you really don't know?"
"Of course we don't know!" shouted Francis.
"Well I'm talking about….murder."
"M-MURDER?! You're kidding right?" said Alfred.
"Of course not! Like I said I am not a liar!" he began to calm down. "You guys are to live in peace but if someone broke that rule by killing then that person is able to leave."
"H-how?" said Mei
"Any way you'd like hunny. Stabbing, dicing, crushing, burning, beating, strangling…..any way you'd like. As long as the victim is dead you are able to graduate."
I froze. We couldn't leave unless we kill someone? My mind was trying to process the words Sekai had just said.
"I mean, that is why this school's name is called Despair Academy", said Sekai.
"What? But wasn't this school called Hetalia Academy? You even said it earlier too", said Ivan.
"You must not understand but I only called it that because I knew you guys would not come here if it had said 'Despair Academy'. Sorry for the confusion."
"Sorry my ass! I swear I'll beat you to a freaking pulp!" shouted Gilbert.
"Now children, if you dare hurt the headmaster you will be punished."
"How could someone like you hurt me?" Gilbert was really pissed off. "You're only like 3 feet."
"Those are some very unpleasant words you just said Gilbert. In case you guys didn't know there are traps inside every room, except your dorms though. Look at the ceiling."
We all turned our heads up and saw a giant machine gun attached to the ceiling that pointed straight down at us. It was loaded.
"HOLY CRAP!" shouted Alfred. He took a step back but fumbled and fell on his butt.
"I may not be able to hurt you on my own but I have these bad boys to help me out if you ever try to hurt me. So Gilbert, still want to beat me to a pulp?"
Gilbert looked at the ground. He made a fist and squeezed it but let it relax. "I guess I don't have a choice…."
"Oh you do have a choice my dear friend, but you'll be putting everyone's life in danger if you try to hurt me."
Gilbert looked around the gym and saw everyone's faces staring at him with a worried look. "Relax guys….I won't do anything. But I do have a question."
"Oh? And what might that be my dear friend?" Sekai tilted his head.
"First off do NOT call me dear friend, nobody here is your friend, especially me! Second, why are you doing this? What are you trying to gain here by making us kill each other?"
Sekai's creepy smile came back on him. "Very good question…..my dear friend. I'm obviously doing it to cause despair. So kill or be killed, it's up to you guys."
"T-that can't be!" said Elizaveta
"Oh I almost forgot. How silly of me. Everyone one of you guys will be getting an ID. I call it HetaID because it sounds more fun. It shows your profile and all the rules that you must follow. It also shows everyone else's profile in case you want to be nosy. It is also a key for entering your dorms. You wouldn't want to lose it or you wouldn't be able to sleep in your cozy room. Look at the floor in front of you and you will see it"
We all looked down and saw a bright blue card. I picked it up to examine it. It wasn't an ordinary card, it was high tech to where you could press your finger down and the screen would show something.
"Well I guess I'll be going now. Be sure to follow the rules because if you don't I will know."
"How? Are you going to follow us everywhere we go?" asked Alfred.
"Of course not, I have cameras set up all over the place. There's even one in here, look above you."
I looked up at the ceiling in search of the camera. I scanned the whole place and noticed a video camera in the corner of the gym.
"Man….not trying to be rude but you guys are pretty dumb to not notice the camera. Not only that but you also failed to notice the iron plates too. Well except Arthur."
"What are we supposed to do now?" asked Lili.
"You can do whatever you want. You could even kill if you want! But when a murder happens something really exciting happens!"
"And what is that?" asked Natalia.
"What do you suppose happens after someone commits murder? I'm pretty sure someone can answer this."
I put my curled index finger on my lips and thought about what Sekai had just said. What does happen after someone commits murder? I think…...I got it!
I took a step forward and Sekai looked at me. "After a murder happens…..a trial happens right?"
"Bingo!" shouted Sekai, "Yes, a trial does happen after a murder. But before that everyone must investigate for a certain amount of time before the trial. I mean, you'd want to prove the actual killer guilty right?"
"What happens if we-"
"Will you look at that, it's already 1pm?" Sekai had cut me off, "It seems we've been here for quite a while. You guys are free to explore and do whatever you want in the school. Interact with each other, might even become friends…..again. Bye!"
And just like that the animal had disappeared.
It was silent once again. Everyone looked at the floor to avoid making eye contact. We still weren't sure if Sekai was just joking….or really telling the truth. We just had to wait and see.
Wait a minute. I thought about the last sentence Sekai had mentioned. Did he say to make friends….again? What the bloody hell does he mean? He must be playing tricks with our minds! Whatever, I won't fall for any of it. I just want to get out of here….
"Come on guys cheer up!"
I turned my head and noticed that Alfred had spoken.
"Cheer up? How can we cheer up if we have to spend the rest of our lives here?!" It was Mei that shouted. "I hate it….I just want to go home!"
"How can we go home if we're trapped in here? We can't even see the outside world because the windows are blocked," responded Alfred, "We might as well get used to it here."
"Get used to it? How are we going to get used to it if people are going to die in here!" It was Gilbert. He walked up to Alfred and grabbed him by the collar which surprised Alfred. "How are you so calm when everyone else here is scared for their lives?"
"I-I...I..," Alfred couldn't find the words to answer Gilbert's question. He tried to make Gilbert let go but he refused. I have to stop him. What if Gilbert kills him right here right now? I can't let things get out of hand.
"L-let him go!" I shouted and then Gilbert looked at me, "He's…he's just trying to ease everyone's anxiety." Or at least that's what I thought. "So please just let him go."
Gilbert looked back at Alfred, "Hmph, well he's doing a terrible job at it." He released Alfred and left the gym. After him the others started leaving to wonder around the place. Only Alfred and I stayed in the gym.
"Thanks for helping me out bro." he had a big grin on his face.
"Well I won't be doing it again! I snapped, "Um…Alfred?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are you trying to comfort everyone?"
"Well uh…" he rubbed the back of his neck, "I just wanted to be the hero." He smiled again.
"The hero? At a time like this?"
"Yup! Everybody needs a hero, so I'm it!"
"Are you out of your mind? You being the 'hero' almost got you punched in the face by that albino! If it wasn't for me you would've been on the ground with a bloody nose!"
Alfred chuckled, "Yeah I know…and I thank you for that." He looked up a bit as if he was thinking of something, "Hey can I call you Iggy?"
"What? Of course not! That's a ridiculous name!"
"Haha your face is so red….Iggy!"
"I said don't call me that!" both of my hands formed fists. I really wanted to knock his head but I'd rather get to know him first before I do that.
"Haha I like you Iggy! We should hang out more." Alfred started walking towards the doors, "I'll be in the cafeteria to eat some burgers. You can join me if you'd like….Iggy." He waved his hand and was out the door before I could even say anything.
I was still frustrated from Alfred calling me that name. Who does he think he is? Not only am I trapped in here but I have to deal with that git! I sighed and started walking towards the door. Since I have nothing better to do…I guess… I'll go meet Alfred. I pushed open the doors and headed straight to the cafeteria.
