Chapter 2: Chapter 2
Kojiro looked at his phone which had started vibrating. A message was delivered, after he picked it up.
[Identity Confirmed, registration has been completed.]
[Sender: The Guide]
[1: Arrive at Paradise High School's assembly hall before the time runs out.]
[2: Remaining time - 00:09:45]
Kojiro smiled as he exited his home, he made sure to strap his sheath tightly to his back. He took off running towards the marked spot on the map attached. The breeze of wind brushed his face as his speed was fast enough to get there in four minutes.
A giant plaque hung high as it stated.
[Paradise High]
Kojiro paid no attention to the stares he was receiving on his back. His Monohashizao was indeed usually too big for anyone to handle. However it was no chore for him as he had been training to wield it for his entire life.
A blonde maid was present outside the entrance hall as he stopped him. Her hands signalled something rectangular as the invitation was found in her hands before she finished. "You should just be you." Kojiro could tell that she was not mute, her actions clearly indicated that she was not used to miming things out. The maid looked at the letter before staring back and forth at him and the letter.
She nodded before pointing him towards the place he was supposed to go. Kojiro noted that the people seemed to be split into two, one side was sitting on the floor while the other side was sitting on chairs and seemed more peaceful. More likely a difference between and invitation and a contract.
He chose to stand somewhere by himself, somewhere near the stage would do.
When he checked his phone for the time, he saw the countdown tick from "00:00:01" to "00:00:00".
"It's time."
Suddenly, a voice came from the front of the hall. On the stage, a tuxedo-wearing man walked up in a dignified, disciplined manner. Everyone present was quite surprised since there was no one there just a moment ago.
The stylishly dressed man sported a clean and neat hairstyle, as well as a monocle over his eye. He raised a hand towards the blonde maid standing by the entrance.
"Is this everyone?"
The maid shook her head softly, pointed towards the group on the right side of the hall, and then raised four fingers up.
"Four people…. Well, it's fine. We can't wait any longer, so just close the door and unleash it."
When the blonde maid showed some sign of hesitation, the man who kind of resembled a head butler narrowed his eyes.
"I am the Guide. It's not like it's difficult to get here. Those who can't even adhere to the schedule aren't needed here."
In the end, the maid obediently lowered her head and quietly closed the door shut. She then produced a smartphone and tapped away for a little while.
Meanwhile, the man on the stage clapped his hands twice to draw everyone's attention towards himself.
"Welcome. I am called Han, tasked with guiding all of you this time around. You can call me the Guide."
Han spoke up to here and gestured at the maid with his index finger. She quickly ran to his side, while her blonde ponytail danced in the air.
Kojiro put his hand up as the guide acknowledged he had a problem "Can I assume that you are not going to be in the field and instead guiding by giving clues instead?" Han narrowed his eyes before smiling politely "Correct." The guide soon continued.
"First of all, the Contract documents, please. How many do we have? Twenty-eight…. Quite a lot, isn't it? And we have eight Invitations this time?"
The Guide didn't even take a look at the bundle of the Contracts and simply shoved them underneath his jacket. However, he still held onto the Invitation letters tightly in his hand.
The Guide played with his monocle.
"Ehem, firstly, let us confirm the identities of those present today. Although we have the Invitation letters here, it's meaningless if we don't personally confirm."
The silence still remained inside the assembly hall. The Guide simply smirked.
"I'm sure that you're curious about many things. But let us follow the protocol. Everyone present here, please, think of bringing up your Status Windows, or simply yell Status in your minds. It's fine to say it out loud, as well."
Kojiro didn't questions anything and simply complied.
In the empty air right in front of his eyes, a sudden avalanche of texts came crashing down.
