In the meanwhile at the other group after the event with Kain and Karen...
...
... I reached my limit.
With that done...
Where is the Claude?
We have been waiting here for a while..
Student #2: " Hey, Karen. "
Karen: " Ah! "
Student #2: " What's wrong? Do I do something wrong? "
Karen: " How do you know my name? "
Student #2: " Huh, what are you talking about? I'm in the same class as you. "
Karen: " Oh sorry, I have forgotten almost everything after the begin of this year, until now. "
Student #2: " Everything? So a heavy form of amnesia huh? "
Karen: " I'm sorry. "
Student #2: " No need to apologies over something as little as that! I'll just reintroduce myself then. My name is Ling Qi. Nice to meet you... again hahaha. "
Karen: " Ling hm? I didn't know that people from other countries were coming at this school. "
Ling: " Oh no no... I'm half British and half Chinese. "
Karen: " Anyway, with the introductions done... what is this? "
I showed him the text on my hand.
Ling: " Ah that. Probably something stupid done by the Headmaster. "
Headmaster Claude: " Did you say something? "
Ling: " ... G-g-g-g-g-g-g-GHOSTTT!!!! "
All of the sudden, Claude appeared as a transparent person and Ling jumped far away.
Karen: " Can it be... " * Smirk * " you're afraid of ghosts? "
Ling: " Y-y-you wish! There wa-was just a f-flame on the g-g-ground. "
Karen: " Don't lie to me. Besides, you're not the only one afraid of ghosts. "
Ling: " Ah, you mean that brother of yours. What was his name again? Kayn? Chain? Uhm... oh yeah! Kain. "
Karen: " Nagging at someone for forgetting a whole year is worse than someone who cannot even remember a name of the person he's talking with? Yeah, I understand that concept. "
Ling: " ... "
Karen: " Anyway... why did you call us all over Claude? "
Headmaster Claude: " P-please... Call me at least Headmaster Claude. "
Karen: " Okay. Claude. "
Headmaster Claude: * Sigh * " It can't be helped... To the point! "
Everyone took a seat in the Art room and listened to him.
Headmaster Claude: " You know what? No big explanations for now! Kill each other! Pleaseeee? "
Well that was quick.
Karen: " We won't. "
Headmaster Claude: " Okay, then I have no choice. "
Suddenly...
Ling: " Woah... look at the sky. "
Karen: * Gasp *
The whole sky.. it turned green along with the moon.
Headmaster Claude: " Here is the thing. It is your motive. "
Karen: " Say what now? "
Headmaster Claude: " Come on.. a game isn't a game if you haven't got any reason to kill! So to make it easier for you: I will GIVE you a reason to kill. "
Karen: " Screw you Claude! I told you that I won't participate and nobody here will either! "
Headmaster Claude: " Oh, don't you care what happens to your brother? "
Karen: " What? "
Headmaster Claude: " Let me continue. Now then... "
The tension in the room suddenly went up.
What's going to happen?
At that moment, his eyes start to glow red and our bodies started to hurt like hell.
Everyone: " AAAAAAAAARGH! AAAAAAAAH! "
It feels like a thousand needles struck into each part of our body.
Karen: " Tch... you... "
Ling: " ... What's wrong everyone? "
Karen: " ... Ling? How....... are you still standing...? "
Ling: " Guys it's an illusion! Press the finger of your dominant hand into your eye while it's closed. "
I can't do that... But at this rate I will die.....
I have to.... try..
Karen: " You better...... not lie Ling. "
I pressed into my eyes and...
Karen: " Huh? Why is everyone lying? "
Ling: " I told you, it's an illusion. "
Karen: " How did you know that? "
Ling: " Because it's the same technique that my late uncle used. "
Karen: " What is the meaning of this...? But if he is dead... "
Ling: " It was stolen from him. The technique is a fatal illusion that duplicates inside one person and spreads towards other uninfected people. As you felt, the pain was much, that a normal human should not handle that. After you reach your own pain limit, your real body starts reacting to it, as if it's actually happening. Once the pain reaches your heart, it's over, forever. "
Karen: " Why would a terrifying technique like that be made anyway?! "
Ling: " ... Sorry, but that is none of your concern. "
Karen: " ... "
Ling: " It seems that a few people are awakening from the illusion. It is normal for humans to awaken after a long while. "
After that long?!
No, I'm starting to think that I'm the only non-human here.
How is staying that long in such illusion possibly human?!
Headmaster Claude: " Now then, do you see what's at stake? The same will happen to the people every one of the fourteen remaining students that is not present. And they won't ever awaken any more. Once they die, it will be your turn. You are locked inside the Bloodedge's Gallery until it's time. In other words... Kill somebody within this building without getting caught within the time limit of 1 hour. Once the sky and moon is filled red... it will be punishment time for each one of you! Hahahahahahahahaaa........... "
He disappeared into a gate which is filled with darkness...
Karen: " Shit! This wouldn't happen to us if I didn't want to go here... "
Ling: " Don't go blaming yourself. Nobody would've seen this coming. "
Karen: " Huh? Wait... a lot of people didn't awake! "
Ling: " ... "
Karen: " They are still breathing though! They are still- "
Ling: " No, they are permanently suspended. "
Karen: " Suspended? "
Ling: " What you see is a body with no mind, soul or anything within it. Their consciousness are gone. The illusion has feasted on their hearts desires and eventually after the pain ended for them, were shown these desires until their body decays. "
Karen: " That's way too cruel... "
Ling: " There is no way for someone to- "
Someone suddenly screamed.
Student #13: " ARGHHHH! GET OUT OF MY BODYYYY!! "
Karen: " Get a hold of yourself! "
Student #13: " Don't you go messing with my mind!! " * Gasp * * Heavy Breathing *
Karen: " Are you okay? "
Student #13: " ... "
Karen: " Hello? "
Student #13: " Ahhhh! It's the beautiful Karen! "
Karen: " What... "
I have a bad feeling about this..
Student #13: " Big breasted, a skirt, beautiful blonde hair! And not to forget her bi- "
* Kick * * Kick *
Student #13: " OEFF! "
Ling: " I was impressed that you awakened from that state... " * Kick * * Kick * * Kick * "... but it might be good for you to go back. "
...
Did that really just happen?
Student #13: " Ok I'm sorry, but maybe if the lady forgives me? "
Ling: " Well? "
Karen: " Get him off me. "
Student #13: " WHAAAT? "
Ling: " You heard her. "
* Kick * * Kick * * Kick *
