Chapter 8 - 7: Master Candidate No.48's Distorted Life (VI)

He looked around and eyed each and everyone of them.

All in all there were 7 of them, including himself.

The aforementioned Lady with guns.

A sketchy looking businessman that looked like a toad.

2 students wearing a Shuchi'in Academy uniform.

One man that looked like a body builder.

And what looked like a couple who were holding each other in distress.

As he approached everyone looked at him in suspicion.

The woman with two guns had her hand hover above the handle of her weapons.

"Who are you?" She said observing him from top to bottom.

He raised his arms slowly, "Same as you, I don't know where this is and who you people are, but infighting right now would do no one any good. Especially in this kind of situation." He said calmly.

The woman raised her eyebrows and clicked her tongue.

"You got balls at least." She said as she let go of the man and stepped away.

Then he turned towards the Two students from Shuchi'in Academy.

Clearly from the way they carried themselves they were both high born ladies.

He had a vague impression of their uniforms and immediately raised his eyebrows.

How the hell did they get here? It's so far away from here. This is Chiba for crying out loud.

One of them was a beautiful Blonde girl that looked like an out going Gal. Her hair was tied up at the left side of her head with a blue scrunchie and blue-eyes. Her uniform modified enough to match current day trends. Yet she was fiercely shielding a woman behind her like a trained soldier.

Behind her was is a beautiful, fair-skinned young girl with long black hair that is tied by a black-red ribbon. Her almond-shaped red eyes staring vigilantly at everyone around her. As is preparing to run away with her companion at any moments notice.

As he was staring at the two of them they were also staring at him.

Although He looked like a student the uniform he was wearing was anything but.

It was an unfamiliar uniform, hence the discrepancy.

"Kaguya-sama please hide behind me at all times. As far as anyone is concerned this could all be a ploy." She said cautiously towards the black haired girl named Kaguya.

'Hayasaka... Be careful too. We will escape together no matter what." She said towards the girl as she clutched her sleeves nervously.

Everyone was vigilant against one another.

However before the tension could escalate any further a detached yet playful voice echoed inside their heads.

"Who are you!?"

"Where have you taken us!?"

"This can't be happening! This can't be happening!"

"H-how...."

Words of varying emotions drowned out the mysterious voice.

This voice laced with vicious mockery filled their heads as they warily looked around.

They wanted to voice their opinions and shout but they found out that they were unable to even move or shout.

Except for one man.

That is Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Yet to not be singled out and attacked.

He waited.

Until he understands the current enemy, but before lives were lost.

Then he would make a move.

No matter how despairing the situation is.

Even though every single one of them were extremely reluctant they were forced to listen to this ungodly farce.

His mechanical voiced was traced with glee as he explained this cruel game.

He quickly added with a voice laced with undisguised disdain.

The mechanical voice said noncommitedly. 

Reciting the words as if he has rehearsed it ad infinitum.

<>

He said with undisguised glee.

<>

The mechanical voice slowly changed from it's monotonous eerie tone to a more develish and deep temptation.

<>

The voice said with absolute glee.

<>

He said sadly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief from his words, but quickly spread fear with what followed.

<>

He said while laughing madly.

Everyone who had a hopeful expression had their eyes dim as they looked down on the ground.

<>

His damning words echoed across their ears as they all stood there powerlessly. With various thoughts running inside their heads. 

Ritsuka on the other hand had his fists clenched. He stared at everyone yet he found a few who were not afraid, perhaps even excitement?
