Classroom of the Elite: OutlawKoji

Chapter 1: Introduction to the Old World

... Where am I?

I find myself surrounded by grass. I look around to regain a sense of my location.

"... What happened?"

From what I can recall, I was talking with Horikita after the island exam, is this another special exam? If so, isn't this too extreme for an exam?

Though the school is unusual, I don't think that they would go as far as subduing their students for the sake of an exam.

I take a look at myself. I am still wearing my white shirt with a tie, which is what I was wearing when I was on the ship

"... isn't it kind of cold?"

That's strange, it should be warm, was I taken by the White Room enforcers? That couldn't be it, that would be too risky for them. That man wouldn't risk all his hard work for this.

He would try to get me expelled, taking me from the school will cast too much attention to him, which could compromise the White Room

"I should probably first figure out where I am, am I even in Japan?"

I sit up and stand, it doesn't seem like I was knocked out, or drugged. I take a second to take in my surroundings.

I decide to walk around a bit, searching for anything that could allow me to figure out my location.

As I walk around I notice that my surroundings has a surprisingly natural look to them, almost elegant, as if no man has ever touched the environment.

Down along the way, I spot a dirt trail.

"Am I in a park of some kind? Everything here seems natural, the vegetation here isn't native to Japan, in fact, I'm sure that they can be found in the west. Am I in North America? How did I get here?"

I follow the dirt trail, hoping to find any sign of human life.

This may be a national park, if I follow this trail I should be able to find someone.

As I follow along the trail, I immediately spot something.

"... Are those train tracks? And power lines? So is this not a national park?"

Before I can finish my deduction, I hear laughing followed by shots. I immediately hide inside some tall grass.

"YEAH, THAT FELLER SURE HAD A LOT ON 'EM, WE CAN EAT FOR DAYS WITH THIS, HAHA!"

The source of the voice is coming from a wagon that is following the dirt trail, there is a group of 5 people, all of them are holding outdated weapons.

The strangest part about this is that the wagon is being pulled by 2 horses.

"Hey! This body is starting to rot, dump it out!"

One of the men pick up the body of a man and dump it out of their wagon, then they speed away.

"What just happened? Did I witness the cover up of a murder?"

I come out of the tall grass and approach the dead body.

The poor man seems to have been brutally beaten and finished off with a shot to his chest.

Strangely enough, his clothes look weird, putting aside the cultural difference, this seems strange even for western culture, it looks outdated.

I notice that he is carrying a holster, could it be?

"... As I thought, he has a revolver."

Though I somewhat feel bad for the man, I decide to search his body.
