By the time our little braw stopped, I noticed that people were staring at me but only a few.

Well, it doesn't matter much since I don't even know them. 

The main problem is where am I? It looked like a hall or something like that.

In the crowd, I noticed a certain person but I didn't wish to be associated with him so I avoided him but he was not the only one, on further left, I saw Selene standing beside Liz.

"Liz," I tried calling out to her but my voice wasn't enough to reach her.

But fortunately, they heard my voice faintly but they presumably heard my voice but couldn't make out where it was coming from because the area is extremely large and everyone's voices are blending with mine so it might be difficult to make out exactly where it is coming from.

"Here, Here," I called out to them even more loudly than before, also lifting my hand high. I haven't shouted for someone, maybe because I didn't need to but now that I think I should have because my voice isn't loud enough. 

"Hey, who are you calling?" I turned around to look for who it was. She was the girl from before.

"Who are you anyway? I don't even know your name?"

"My name is Sistine." Why does she sound so prideful just by telling her name?

"Ah so... My name is Allen."

"That's all?"

"Do you need anything?"

"Y-yes, who are you calling?"

"I just met you and you wanna act like we are friends? I'll talk to you later. I am looking for someone." I ignored her and looked away.

Where did they go now? I just saw them...

"Allen!" here they are.

"Liz!" Selene was also with her.

"Thank God. I haven't seen anyone from our class except Selene."

"Oh." I was just about to say that I also saw one but I don't want him to come here so I didn't bring up his name. Of course, it was Peter. I certainly don't want to talk to him.

"What should we do now?" Liz asked me as she looked around.

"Don't ask me, I am just as lost as you are."

[HELLOOOO]

"!?" ouch! I don't know from where but the voice was so boisterous that it hurt my ear.

[MY NAME IS MR X. YOU ALL MUST BE THINKING THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU SO THIS TIME I WILL YOU TELL FEW IMPORTANT THINGS.] Yes, we need information about what is taking place and what is going to happen to us?

[SO YOU ALL MUST HAVE REMEMBERED THAT YOU ALL WERE CALLED IN THE AUDITORIUM, ACTUALLY, IT WAS TOO STALL TIME TO SET THINGS IN THE RIGHT PLACE LIKE ADDING A CELL PHONE JAMMER THAT BLOCKED YOUR CALLING SYSTEM AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH… AND MANY MORE THINGS. ANYWAY, THAT'S OLD NEWS. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ANSWER TO ONE OF THE MAIN QUESTIONS, WHAT ARE TASKS.]

"What's a cell phone jammer?" Liz asked.

"It is like... hmm... how do I explain? Ah yes, they are devices that produce some frequency similar to those of that cell phone which interfere with the cell phone signal. Normally it is only used by police. I think,"

[TASKS ARE TO EVALUATE YOU ALL. BUT I MUST REMIND YOU THAT THE FIRST TASK WAS JUST TO CHECK HOW YOUR BRAIN FUNCTIONS IN A DIRE SITUATION BUT THE THING ABOUT EXPELLING STUDENTS IS REAL. BUT I MUST INFORM YOU THAT THE NUMBER WE TOLD EARLIER WAS FAKE. FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS THE MAIN TASKS WILL BE GIVEN.] he answered a few questions but it doesn't help at all.

"Hey! What is going to happen to us?" someone yelled from behind?

"Where are others?" Obviously, not everyone is present in this hall so where are others?

[MANY MORE QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED WHEN YOU WILL COMPLETE THE GIVEN TASK. LIKE YOU CAN SAY... REWARDS FOR COMPLETING THE TASKS.]

"Why do we have to listen to him?"

"Yeah, we will not do anything he says anymore."

[OH, REALLY YOU WON'T LISTEN TO ME... HOW ABOUT NOW?]

From the sidewalls of the hall, a hatch emptied and some kind of tool appeared.

"What?"

The boy who vetoed to listen, on his forehead a red pointer was targeting it.

"NOW LET ME HEAR AGAIN WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER. LET ME TELL YOU, THE BIG MACHINE POPPING OUT OF THAT WALL, THAT'S A MACHINE GUN THAT CAN FRY YOUR BRAIN IN LESS THAN A SECOND. SO LET ME HEAR AGAIN WHAT YOU JUST SAID." Woah! He must be kidding. I mean he wouldn't just exterminate a person, right?

"YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME? HERE YOU GO I WILL DEMONSTRATE ITS ACTUAL POWER."

"H-hey, y-y-you must be kidding...?" he was trembling, not just him but nearly all of us, anyone would be having a similar reaction when a gun is pointing at your head, but on the contrary, I didn't feel anything rather I was kind of eager to see it.

*BOOM!* 

A sparkle was observed from one end of the tool.

Most terrifying was not that they shot but to imagine that they would shoot directly towards the boy.

Many speculated that they will shoot up in the air or someplace near him but not exactly at him, even I also thought that.

*Splash!* 

The bullet went right through his skull and blood-spattered around.

They annihilated a person.

"...." Liz grabbed my shirt and was just about to drop but Selene helped her.

"NOW ANY MORE QUESTIONS?" he thinks that after what he did just now will anyone ask anything?

"NO? ALSO FOR TODAY, YOU ALL CAN REST TODAY... BUT FROM TOMORROW ONWARDS YOUR LIFE WILL BE MADE A LIVING HELL. OH, SORRY DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD? ANYWAYS BEST OF LUCK FOR TOMORROW. BYE~"

[ALSO, THERE IS SOMETHING WAITING FOR YOU SO TRY NOT TO MEET IT, YET~]

For a moment no one let out a single voice, rather they just gazed at each other's faces, many were not able to handle seeing the dead body and threw up. Even Liz and Selene.

For some reason, I didn't feel anything, rather for me, it was like seeing a deceased bird on a roadside or something like that.

The atmosphere changed entirely.

A few hours ago we all were laughing, playing, etc. but all of a sudden we were caged, moreover the ones who caged us killed a person a few minutes ago.

Mr. X was it? He told us to rest but does he believe that anyone will be able to rest beside a dead body moreover seeing him get shot made it worse.

...

The smell of blood increased, many of us threw up and saw others throw up, several who have been able to control themselves from throwing up also lost control.

After three hours the gate opened, everyone rushed outside because who wants to sit here with a dead body. As we stepped outside the shiver went up to my spine, I don't know why but as I looked around I felt like I had been to this place before, long ago.
