11:The Game Plan

The room was filled with the sounds of students who were busy chatting with their friends. Raia, who is now at the front of the door, looked around the room until he saw Osamu looking at him. "Raia!!" Osamu called him while wearing his big smile. Others looked at Osamu as if it was their first time hearing him talk to someone. Raia shyly walked toward him. Some of his classmates looked at him too, but he decided to ignore those stares. "I called you earlier at your door, but it appears you're still sleeping," Osamu began as they sat in their chairs. They are sitting across from each other, with Osamu at the back. "Ahh yeah, I didn't hear the alarm, that's why I woke up late," he answered, then put his bag on his side. They waited for a moment before their instructor arrived. It only took several minutes before the activity started. The students assemble in the big and wide gymnasium inside the building. It was located between the dormitory and the research room. Every student, as

12: The Game Starts NOW!

With a single blow from his whistle, Mr. Rayven starts the game. The students, who were just standing in front of the door, walked inside. June and Amelia walked side by side, still observing the others. While Kanaye, who seemed a bit worried, walked behind Aki. He looked like a scared cat who was trying to hide. "Kanaye?" With just one call, he immediately went in front of Aki, as if he hadn't been hiding a while ago. "Yeah?" he asked, then he saw her looking at the right side. He slightly looked in that direction and saw the surroundings. Inside the room, there are different rooms. Other students stand before the door as if waiting for it to open. "Hmm, I think we should pick our own door too." Aki concluded, and without his consent, she walked straight to the door in front of her. "Ah-w-wait!" he said and slightly ran after her. Meanwhile, June and Amelia walked toward the other door. Ever since they entered the room, no one bothered to talk between them. They stand before it,

13: The Game Starts NOW 2

While Amelia was reading the next question, June suddenly felt bored. It’s almost 15 minutes after his partner went inside that room, and yet, they are still on the second question. "Just how hard could those questions be?" he asked himself while both of his arms crossed each other. He slowly looked at the ceiling as he thought of Kanaye. 'Maybe there won’t be any problems, wouldn't they? I think he should be okay. He was with Aki anyway,' he said to himself and looked down again. The other students, like them, are preoccupied with solving the riddles. Others think that this was the most difficult thing for them to solve because all of the questions required them to think outside the box. While others think that this game was a piece of cake, well, at least for someone who was known as being a prodigy. Raia just looked at Osamu as he continuously answered 4 consecutive riddle puzzles. Both of them decided that Osamu would take the easy and difficult levels while Raia would be part

14: The Game Starts NOW 3

Almost all of the students finally finished the easy level. Ryota, who seemed tired, sat on the ground. His partner, Eva, went beside him. "Tired?" She asked him, then gave him a bottle of water. "Nah...I just felt my feet get numb," he answered, obviously lying. Eva just smiled at him. She has been by his side for years and has become close to him. There's no way she could not read his expressions and feelings. He's like an open book to her. But instead of saying more than that, she remained silent and just looked at the front. They just finished the last task at this level and were about to go to the average level. For some reason, Ryota felt pressured and exhausted. He knew in himself that those questions were nerve-wracking. Unlike the questions given to the other students, Ryota's questions are much more difficult. It's as if someone is making it really hard for them. Mr. Rayven, who was looking at the monitor, clicked his tongue when he saw that Ryota had a passing number of

15: The Game Starts NOW 4

Raia looked at the surroundings while waiting for further instructions. It's been five minutes since he went inside this room but until now, he can't think of anything because of his nervousness. His hands are shaking while his eyes can't stop looking around the room. The walls are covered white while there are some cabinets at the side. There are some maps and other books, seems like props for Raia. After several minutes, he heard something from the other side of the room. He was sitting in front of the transparent glass. In this way, he could see whoever is on the other side of the room. A guy, probably 5'3 in height came over while simply looking around the room. He has this muscular body that, no doubt, one of his assets to attract girls. Raia felt insecure for a second. He looked like a lost kitten for a second until he met Raia's eyes. He slightly bowed down and smiled a bit. Raia's eyebrows furrowed as he was not familiar with this guy. "As far as I know, he's a friend o

16: The Game QUALIFIERS

Emma walked out of the room, head high while looking at her partner, Everett, with much confidence. "I see," Everett thought to himself, then went after her. "So you beat June Smith, huh?" He asked Emma while waiting for the elevator to turn up. Emma was unfazed, still looking at her fingernails and blowing at them. It's as if winning is the most obvious thing for her. "What a coincidence," Everett thought to himself as he waited for Emma's response. On the other hand, the next game was for Phill, which has now finished. He was expecting it, though. He can't ask for help from his partner since both of them are not good at mathematical equations. Their defeat was totally obvious even before the game started. Rio wins five cookies against Phill with no cookies at all. Meanwhile, Dae, who forfeits his chance to win, lets Chan, his brother, continue the game. He knew how good his brother was at this kind of thing, so he didn't hesitate to ask for help. Ryota suddenly felt nervous wh

17:THE GAME OF CHARADES

"In playing charades, you need to have one who will guess and one who will act. In this activity, you will need to choose who will guess and who will act. There is no time limit. For you to win the game, you need to be the first one to answer all of the charades correctly." Raia furrowed his eyebrows as he heard the instructor. He was well aware that he was not good at acting or guessing. He looked at Osamu, but it seems like he was thinking about the right strategy as well. "But! But wait, there's more! Here's the twist," Mr. Gojo added. "You can challenge anyone inside that room, and once you win your bet against them... they will automatically fail the test and will not be able to pass it," he added. Raia raised his eyebrow. "What a nonsense twist," he said to himself. As Mr. Gojo finished his last words, the screen went blank again. The other teams seem to be thinking about their strategy. Unlike the first two games, this is not against the other team but against your teammate

18: The Deal

Raia’s POVWhat’s with him? It was my first time to see him look at me like that. When I saw his creepy and suspicious smile toward me, my face crumpled.What does he mean? The winner has been decided already? But the game hasn’t even started yet.To my surprise, he suddenly went toward me. It came so fast that my eyes and mind couldn’t even react at all. It took me seconds before I realized I was lying on the ground."Huh?" I looked at the ground in front of me. Suddenly, a pair of shoes appeared in my sight. I slowly looked up and saw Osamu looking down at me. At first, I couldn’t even recognize him because of the blinding lights behind him. Furthermore, his unusual expression could be seen on his face."I win, Raia," he said while smiling at me. I could even see his teeth shining in my eyes.After a second, a loud announcement could be heard in the whole room. I don’t know why and how it happened, but everything went so fast. The final game rule was so simple.It was a tag.And the

19: The Lost Memories

Raia's POV What was that? I looked at both my hands and saw that it was still trembling. I don't know why but something suddenly went and popped in my memory. It's as if, it is my lost memory. Farm… Goods… That's it. I was the only one who knew about it. And also June. I was sitting in my bed while remembering those lost memories. That night when I forgot everything, I smelled something...and saw Mr. Rayven looking at me. I'm safe to assume that he did something that time. Besides, he's the only one who went inside my room that night before I lost those memories. I looked at the window beside me. Then I suddenly saw something on the table. It was from Osamu. Ah yes...Osamu. Something suddenly freaked me out. My body moved on its own and took the lucky charm that Osamu gave me last time and then went to the door. I need to give this to Osamu. I also need to talk to him before he went to Mr. Rayven's room. I have a feeling that something bad will happen. Please be safe,

20: The Search Begins

Raia's research goes on the days after Osamu's death. He can't afford to lose any more time. He read every possible clue, especially about the history of the school. He also tried to talk to the other personnel and staff on the campus. Of course, he stayed alert assuming that all of the personnel in the university are human-eating creatures like Mr. Rayven. But after several attempts to gain new information, he got nothing. He was walking at that time while holding a bunch of books that he borrowed from the library. He was about to take a left in the intersection of the dormitory when he suddenly bumped into someone. All of the books fell down but he immediately took it back, trying not to expose the content of the books. "Are you okay?" he heard someone ask. "Y-yeah... I'm good," he answered. He slowly looked straight when he finally got all the books. It was Aki and June who bumped into him. When he saw the serious look from June, he immediately looked away and bid goodbye.
