A/N: Alright time to get this show on the road, sorry if everything seems a bit hasty but as always please send me your thoughts on this chapter.
Yasui got off the bus, his large black duffle bag slung over his shoulder as he stared up at the massively tall building. Gulping a bit Yasui shook his head, why was he so nervous about this? He had gone to stadiums for tournaments with thousands of people watching him, knowing that if he made a mistake that they would ridicule him but it never set him on edge like this before. No one was around, just the young man alone looking at the intimidating iron bars of the gate, nervous like new born deer.
"Come on Yasui, you can do this. Just think of it like a game, only you and your cue." The boy sighed, steeling himself as he walked through the gate and to the large double doors.
Relaxing a bit as he stepped through Yasui sighed, knowing that it was all in his head. But then something felt wrong, the boy's limbs started to feel heavy and his vision started to blur. Only letting out a few confused stamers Yasui's head soon hit the cold ground and his vision went black with only the sound of strange giggling echoing through his head, haunting and cold.
Yasui could feel his limbs restrained, body pulled taut and stretched. Looking through the black glass of the massive eight ball he was in Yasui could see a shadowy figure line up his cue. "Please don't do it, I haven't done anything wrong!" The boy screamed but to no avail the figure rearing back and preparing to strike, the giggling echoing through his head yet again. "Eight ball, corner pocket" The voice said calmly, the trapped Yasui yelling once again as the cue struck the glass ball, shattering it and piercing Yasui through the chest.
"Gahh! W-what the hell was that?" Yasui panted, his head shooting up from his arms. Looking around a bit panicked. It seemed liked he was in a classroom of sorts with a few rows of desks in front of him and a large blackboard with a few scribbles across it. Looking down Yasui saw that he was sitting at a desk and as he stumbled a bit, still feeling a bit lightheaded but then noticed that his bag was missing. "Great, first day and not only have I passed out but someone stole from me." Yasui grumbled to himself until he heard a light snoring.
Turning around he saw a young girl about his age sitting passed out on a desk just a row back. She had reddish black hair, the color of chocolate cherry, pooling around her arms and just highlighting her doll like white skin with a long red ribbon keeping it from covering her face completely. The girl was wearing a lemon yellow yukata that seemed just a tad short for her, only coming down to her knees while she had a pair of black stocking and white slippers to cover the rest of her.
"Oh crap, is she dead?" Yasui muttered, unable to tell if she was breathing at all. The young boy started to panic, waking up in a strange place and with a dead girl was not the way he wanted to start the school year. Stealing himself Yasui gently nudged the girl with his hand, quickly recoiling it like it had stung. "Mmmm. No pudding come back." The girl mumbled, shifting slightly and Yasui sighing with relief, shaking her a little bit harder this time. "Hey miss, come on now, wake up." The grumbled, getting a bit annoyed. "Nngh. No mister pudding, I'm supposed to eat. No wait stop!" The girl cried out, her head shooting up from the desk, startling Yasui as she looked around frantically, only noticing the frightened a little bit after, a deep blush forming on her cheek.
"O-oh god, I'm so sorry. Did I frighten you?" The girl asked worriedly, looking at the bewildered Yasui. Dusting himself off the young man flashed a cocky smile, extending his hand with a wink. "Yes I am and even better with hopefully someone that can explain what's going on." Shaking Yasui's hand the girl looked around the room as if examining it for the first time, putting her thumb to her lip. "Are we in a classroom or something?" The girl asked curiously, Yasui hanging his head down, feeling defeated somewhat. "Yeah I think so but I guess that also means you don't really know what's going on here miss uh..." Yasui sighed, shrugging a bit, still trying to keep his smile.
Gasping a bit the girl quickly did a bow, her hands playing nervously with a strand of her long hair. "I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself. My name is Reia Watanuki and I'm called the ultimate make-up artist."
Reia Watanuki
Ultimate Make-Up Artist
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Reia, my name is Yasui Sako and I'm also a ultimate, the ultimate billiards player." Yasui said proudly, crossing his arms and puffing out his chest. Reia couldn't help but giggle at the boy's bold behavior. "Hehe. Well it's good to meet you Yasui though I wish it was under some better circumstances." The young girl sighed, looking around the room still a bit confused. "You could say that again and sadly I know as much as you. Just woke up about five minutes ago myself" Yasui sighed, grumbling a bit but then looked to the door at the far end of the room. "Well I guess that's our best option right now.
Gulping a bit Reia nodded, making her way to the door with Yasui close behind. Outside of the room seemed just to be a wide hallway, a few doors going down each way with the same type of door the duo's room had but above each door there was a small plaque reading class numbers. "Looks like we were in six-A it seems. Do you think we should check the other rooms Yasui?" Reia asked, peering outside the door just a bit. Nodding the young boy looked left and right before stepping out into the corridor, moving over to the next door quickly, five-A. After opening it quietly and taking a quick look inside it seemed to be the exact same as the one they were just in but this time no one was inside. Closing the door again Yasui looked back at Reia and shook his head. "No one in here it looks like it." Biting her lip slightly Reia stepped into the hallway, taking a brief look up and down. "I think we should check them all just to be safe." The makeup artist said with a reassuring smile. "If you take the odds I'll take the evens Yasui."
Nodding Yasui quickly made his way down the hall, making sure to check each room rather quickly but each one was like the one he had woken up in but just with the lack of people. After a bit he was at A-1, the last door on his side and with a sigh opened it. Sadly no one seemed to be in this one either but as he turned to leave Yasui heard what he thought was a small sneeze. Turning back around Yasui quietly closed the door while staying inside and slowly made his way around the room until he got to the front of it and was about look under the teacher's desk until suddenly a young boy popped out from under it waving what looked like a stack of paper frantically.
"Please stay away! Don't hurt or eat me I swear I taste bad!" The boy shouted, paper flying out of the stack as he waved it around quickly. A bit surprised and trying to dodge the makeshift weapon as best he could Yasui placed his hands on the boy's arms, holding him still. "J-just slow down will ya? I'm not here to hurt you much less eat you." Yasui grumbled, keeping a firm lock on the boy. After a bit of struggling Yasui got the boy to sit down in one of the chair and finally got a good look at him. The young man had shaggy brown hair with a somewhat tan complexion and hazel brown eyes. He was wearing a long white lab coat of sorts with a red shirt underneath that had a cheetah decal on the front and a pair of black cargo pants with orange sneakers. With a sigh Yasui sat down in his own chair in front of the boy who seemed to have calm down slightly. "Look, why don't you tell me your name and what your the ultimate at, seems that's kinda the deal around here."
"W-well my name is Dobutsu Kenkyu and I'm the ultimate zoologist but how did you know I was an ultimate?" The boy said shakily, fidgeting in his chair somewhat.
Dobutsu Kenkyu
Ultimate Zoologist
Introducing himself quickly explained what was going on or at least what had happened when he had woken up. "I see, so this girl, Reia and yourself woke up in another classroom like this one but with no memory of how you had gotten there?" Dobutsu asked curiously, the fear seeming to have disappeared from before. Nodding Yasui shrugged, biting his lip in a bit of shame. "Yep and right now she's checking other rooms to see if we can find anyone else and maybe a explanation to why we're here." Crossing his arms Dobutsu shook his head. "I'm sorry but I can't really help you there either because I'm kinda in the same boat." The zoologist sighed, Yasui letting out his own groan. The pair talked a bit longer, exchanging ideas and theories of why they were there until a loud scream yelled out. "Oh crap Reia!" Yasui shouted, jumping up from his seat and out the door. "H-hey wait for me!" Dobutsu yelped, quickly following the frantic billiards player.
Dashing down the hallway Yasui quickly noticed that Reia was on the floor outside one the classrooms and in the doorway there was a rather tall individual scowling down at her. "What did you do you bastard?!"Yasui yelled at the young man who turned around. He curly brown hair a strong sun tan while he had on a black waistcoat with a long sleeved white shirt under it and a black bowtie along with black dress shoes and pants. He looked like a high class waiter at some fancy restaurant. Clicking his tongue a bit the scowling young man stepped pass Reia and in front of the other pair of boys. "Are you two idiots with this chick?" The boy grumbled, keeping his hands deep in his pockets. "Yeah we are and I'll ask again. What did you do to her." Yasui asked through gritted teeth. "Look, I didn't do anything you're just jumping to conclusions like a idiot" The boy said, rolling his eyes at Yasui who was slowly growing angrier. Reia slowly got up and dusted herself, a sheepish grin on her face as she fidgeted a bit. "He's telling the truth Yasui. I opened the door and I guess he was about to as well so when I suddenly saw him standing there I yelled and fell back." Reia mumbled, obviously embarrassed by it. "See? Now if you don't mind I'm gonna have a look around" The boy huffed, pushing himself past the other two boys.
"Um sorry about accusing you earlier. My name is Yasui, this is Dobutsu and Reia. We're all ultimates and if I had to guess, so are you." The billiards player said, extending his hand out for a shake. "Tch. The name is Shuzo Shimoda the ultimate waiter but I didn't ask for names of losers like you." The angry young man grumbled, ignoring Yasui's hand.
Shuzo Shimoda
Ultimate Waiter
"Huh. Guess that explains the outfit then." Dobutsu mumbled, Shuzo shooting him a very angry glare and Yasui could swear he saw the zoologist shiver. The waiter bit his lip and started to walk down the hallway Yasui had just come from. Turning back to Reia Yasui blushed a bit and shrugged. "Well if no one else is here I guess we should follow grumpy pants." Yasui chuckled, getting a small smile out of Reia. Quickly following Shuzo the trio remained rather quiet most likely due to the strange situation that they found themselves in. Looking behind him Shuzo grumbled. "Great, now I got a pack of losers following me." "Hey, we're just trying to find a way out of here you jerk so lay off." Yasui snapped back but soon stopped in his tracks along with the others. Before them was a set of large double oak doors and on the other side they could hear mumbles of people on the other side. "Hmm more people, I hope they can tell us something." Dobutsu muttered, crossing his arms. "Well there's only one way to find out and that is to dive head in." Yasui grinned, placing his hands on the door handles and pushing them open with a groan of the hinges and into a wide circular room, plated with metal and steel but the most surprising thing was the large number of teenagers all around it, all of them look to the small group that just entered.
A/N: Hello everyone. I know this chapter is kinda short and only showed off three OCs but I hope you all not only enjoy it but look forward to it.

I have read a lot of stories on here, a lot of them inspired me to make this one myself, and as such I will be using some of the ideas from them, such as how they handled the trial or free time. It's not my intention to treat it as stealing or copying but just using it to bring a better story for my readers.
