“Kazuma... it's all a lie.”

Flames surround you, your vision strained and obscured by the sheer heat, as your father stands before you, a desperate and stern expression on his face.

“Dad? What are you-”

Your father holds out his, as a small glowing blue orb floats above his outstretched palm.

“I need you to take this, Kazuma. It's the key, the key to revealing the truth.”

“I don't under-”

“Just take it, Kazuma!” your father screams, as the flames envelop him, and he disappears within the hellish fire.

“Dad... Dad, no! Daaaaaaaaaaaaaad!”

Your eyes shoot open, as you awaken in a cold sweat. You feel your seat beneath you rumble and hear some faint buzzing from the headphones wrapped around your neck as you become re-adjusted to your surroundings. You must have fallen asleep on the train. You clutch your necklace tight in your hand. A blue stone lies at the end of a string. It was given to you by your father, but not nearly in such dire circumstances as your dream depicted. No, it was simply a birthday gift from when you turned seven years old.

You've been travelling for hours now. Your destination? A small hillside town by the name of Dakugeto. A rather unassuming place, the town's one notable aspect is that it plays home to the Dakugeto institute of higher education. More commonly referred to as Dark Gate Academy, it's where you're about to begin your first day of studies as a high school student. It's also where your father worked as a teacher... until he disappeared three years ago.

Dark Gate Academy holds a secret, one that has never been hidden from you. The staff and students of the academy are not normal humans. They are individuals who have innate abilities that simply need to be awakened. And they use those abilities to fight off the dark forces that lie within the school. While this little factoid has been kept hidden from the world at large, it's always been known to you. Your father is Kankuro Arai, a man heralded as the finest combatant that Dark Gate Academy ever saw. There was no demons the stood at the end of his blade and lived. Nothing could stop him... until he vanished. Killed in action, they said. But no body was found. You know better than that. You know that your father couldn't have just been killed within the Darkworld like he was nothing. No... he's still in there. You know it. And now three years later, you'll be attending the very same academy he worked. Soon, you'll be entering the Darkworld yourself... and you're going to find him. You're going to bring him back.

Your name is Kazuma Arai, and this is Day 1 of your quest.

“Another nightmare?” the voice in the seat opposite yours asks.

You turn your head to answer. “Yeah, I guess that's what it was.”

The black haired girl tilts her head and smiles. “Aww... you want to tell your big sis Kiriko all about it?”

Kiriko Maita. Despite her jokes, she's not your sister, but she may as well be. The two of you have only been best friends since you were both in diapers. You and her have rarely spent any time apart, and now you'll be attending the academy together.

“No, I'm fine...” You shake your head as you look out the window of the moving carriage. “We're almost there.”

“How do you know?” Kiriko laughs. “You've only been here once, when you were about eight!”

“Yeah, but I remember every detail of that visit,” you reply. “Look over there, my dad took me to that lake when we there. I've told you the story about-”

“When you were attacked by a duck?” Kiriko finishes your sentence. “Only about a hundred times! You'd think you were proud of it!”

You nod. She's not wrong... you've always been eager to passionately relay every scene from the time you visited your dad at the academy. You were always obsessed with the mystique and presence of the academy... and now it's where you'll be spending the next year. You couldn't be happier.

“Well, you're lucky we're the only two in this carriage,” Kiriko explains. “You were tossing, turning, mumbling your dads name in your sleep... it would have been pretty embarrassing if others saw you like that.”

Kiriko stretches her arms in the air and lets out a quick groan as she adjust her back, before popping out of her chair. “Oh, I'm so excited!” she exclaims, changing the subject. “Can you imagine? We're finally going to be students of Dark Gate Academy. Our parents have been telling us about this place for years but now the dream is real! I've been pinching myself every fifteen minutes just to make sure this isn't actually a fantasy!”

Kiriko has always had enough excitement in her to do the both of you. You're not one to bounce up and down the walls when something excites you. For the most part, you like to stay chilled and laid back, usually listening to music. Despite the constant teasing from Kiriko because you “try too hard to look cool” you haven't changed up your style. You just roll with the punches.

The train pulls up at it's next stop. Your stop. The town of Dakugeto. You and Kiriko grab your bags and step off onto the platform. The Academy is still a good walk away, standing at the top of a hill overlooking the town, like a haunted mansion from an old horror flick.

“There it is!” Kiriko smiles. “That's where we start our new life!”

“And we're we start looking for my dad,” you mutter.

Kiriko looks at you, an intense guilt in her eyes. She hesitates to speak. “Kaz... I have to ask...”

“Yeah?” you reply.

Kiriko pauses, her hand held close to her mouth. “Do... do you think... the Darkworld has dinosaurs?”

You blink. “Uhh... what?”

Kiriko giggles nervously, and scratches the back of her head. “Y-you know, dinosaurs! The Darkworld's supposed to be filled with all kinds of monsters right? Well, do you think any of them are huge dinosaurs? Because if we see a t-rex roaming around in there, I'm definitely going to try riding on its back!”

As Kiriko continues to chuckle nervously, something tells you that wasn't the question she was originally going to ask. Whatever, better to just humour her for now. “I don't know... maybe.”

“A-awesome!” Kiriko laughs, before looking back at the Academy. “So... you ready?”

>Yeah. I want to get there as early as possible.
>Whoa, what's your hurry? Let's look around town for a while.

>Yeah. I want to get there as early as possible.

"I figured," Kiriko smirks. "I was just a little worried that now that we're practically standing at the school's gate, your feet would get cold."

"Come on, when have I ever been the type of guy to chicken out of something?" you ask.

"I'm not calling you a chicken!" Kiriko chuckles, "But you can get pretty lazy."

You can't be bothered with arguing that point as the two of your begin your trick through the town and up to the top of the hill. It's incredibly steep, and half the time you were uncertain if you were going to fall back down, or simply just collapse from exhaustion.

Eventually, the two of you make it to the School Gate, and a small smile forms on your face. This is it, your first day. A huge moment for you, and you've got to make an appropriate entrance. Your headphones still hanging by your neck, you pick them up and place them over your ears, hoping for just to right track to play as you step foot into Dark Gate Academy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNYRfbT8QUU

-No, not that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iK5xd7Tl9U

There, that's better. You and Kiriko swagger through the school gates, your bags slung over your shoulder, as you saunter up to the main building entrance. You pass by the running tracks, where a blonde girl in a baseball cap is running alongside a giant blue-haired girl. You pass through the main courtyard, as you see a pink haired girl running around in a pirate costume, and a pair of delinquents hanging out by one of the benches. An interesting looking bunch of people, just as you expected the academy to attract.

As you step through the front entrance, you are greeted by a bored looking girl with white hair. "You're the first year students, I take it?"

"Yep, that's us!" Kiriko exclaims.

"Most other students have already arrived," the girl explains. "In fact, you missed the beginning of year assembly."

"Well, we've travelled a long while," you explain, removing your headphones. "And besides, we already know about everything that assembly covered. We're already aware of the Darkworld."

The girl stares blankly at you, unimpressed. "My name is Nina," she adds. "Nina Nagata. I'm in Class 3. It's my duty to guide the two of you to your homeroom, and then out relationship will cease. If you have questions, ask them as we walk."

>Why so distant? No offence, but you sound dead inside.

>Class 3? Guess you've been around the block a few times. You ever get scared?

"No, I don't."

You weren't expecting such a blunt and straightforward answer to come from her. "Really?" you ask. "You're telling me you've never been scared? Even when surrounded by demons?"

"Yes, that is what I'm telling you."

"I don't believe you!" Kiriko exclaims. "You're bound to have seen some people die by your third year!"

You shake your head. Kiriko means well, but she's always been very impulsive. She rarely thinks before speaking.

"I have," Nina answers. "Only eight people remain in my class."

"Woah," Kiriko mutters. "That's rough... but you're telling me even with that being the case, you're not scared of being the next one to go?"

"No."

Again with the blunt answers. "I have to ask," you chime in. "How? You're pretty calm about all of this. Even with nerves of steel I'm sure most would be terrified. What keeps you from panicking or worrying about death?"

Nina turns her head to face you. "Because I already died a long time ago."

Before you can ask her what she means by that, she stops in front of a door. "This is it. This is your homeroom for the next year."

Nina turns around and makes her way down the hallway in a rush. "Uhh... thanks," you answer as she walks off. "I guess I'll see you around!"

"No you won't," she mutters as she turns a corner and disappears.

Weird. But then again, you always knew that this place attracted weird people.

You shrug your shoulders as you open the door, and you're greeted by a red-haired man in a red coat at the front of the classroom. "Ah, these must be our two late-comers! Just in time for Class!"

You and Kiriko step into the classroom, as the man examines the two of you. "So you must be Kiriko Maita, and you're... Kazuma As-As... wow. Y-you... you're the kid who's dad was the... guy."

"Uhh..." you mumble, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah? I guess?"

"S-sorry, it's just..." the man mumbles. "Your father took me for classes when I attended. He... he was as great as teacher as he was... absolutely terrifying. Oh boy..."

The man is already wiping a lot of nervous sweat from his brow. This guy is supposed to be a teacher? This guy is supposed to be your teacher?

>Let's not make a big deal of it. I'm just here to learn.

The teacher nervously wipes his brow as he points you and Kiriko to your seats. "Okay, of course, I'm not going to make a big deal of how your father was the greatest fighter in the academy's history."

As you make your way to you chair, the teacher turns to address the rest of the class. "That... that goes for all of you too. Kazuma's father may be the greatest fighter in the history of the academy, but that doesn't mean you should treat him any different. He already has lot to worry about when it comes to living up to his father, who was the greatest fighter in the history-I can't stop talking... uhh..."

The man giggles nervously as he begins to pace, making his way over to you. "I am v-very sorry Kazuma, I'll stop bringing up your hero dad starting right... now. Okay?"

"Okay," you sigh, rolling your eyes. What a joke this guy is.

"Cool..." the man breathes a sigh of relief, before offering out his fist. "Pound it?"

You stare at his knuckles in confusion. "Pound it?"

The teacher stares at you, then back at his fist, then back at you. "Do... do kids not pound it anymore? I thought that was the cool... Okay, who's ready to learn?"

The man awkwardly clears his throat as he makes his way to the whiteboard, pulling out a marker. "Okay, I will be your homeroom teacher for the year. My name is Takeshi Shusaku..."

As soon as he begins to write his name on the board, the marker falls from his hand and rolls under his desk as he only has one letter written. "Uhh... but my friends just call me T!" he exclaims with a nervous chuckle, trying to save face. "And you kids can call me that! Because I don't want you to think of me as your teacher... I want you all to think of me as a pal! A buddy! Just good ol' T! Uhh... please don't call me that... anyway, as your buddy, don't be afraid to ask me anything you want!"

Next to every hand shoots up in the classroom. Takeshi picks out a blue-haired girl near the front. "Yes, you?"

"Umm... are we going to die?" the girl asks.

Takeshi's eyes widen. "W-wow... just cutting to the chase, huh? Well... to attend this academy is to take on a very important responsibility, and with that responsibility comes an element of danger... uhh, next question?"

Takeshi picks a brown-haired girl, casually leaning back in her chair. "Seriously though," the girl begins, "We're going to die, right?"

"I... oh boy..." Takeshi mumbles to himself, sweating profusely.

For some reason, you feel compelled to save this trainwreck. Maybe stand up and say something.

>Nobody's going to die as long as I'm here. I've been preparing for this my whole life.
>Yeah, a lot of you are going to die. This isn't easy work.
>Nah, don't say anything. Just sit back and tune it all out.

>Nah, don't say anything. Just sit back and tune it all out.

You aren't going to deal with this crap. You've got nothing to worry about, so it's better for you to just sit back in your chair, put your headphones on and just chill out until it's all settled with.

"Okay... I understand this must be very stressful for you," Takeshi explains. "I was scared too on my first day. I actually peed my pants! Oh... I shouldn't have said that..."

There's a few snickers among the students as Takeshi shakes his head and continues. "Anyway, we have a school counsellor on staff, and... well, he's a lot more equipped to talk about this stuff than me! So, does anyone have any question not related to horrible trauma?"

A pint-sized green-haired girl at the very front raises her hand.

"Yes, Kuin?" Takeshi asks.

"Why was I placed in the first chair?" She asked in an excited and forceful tone. "Does this mean I'm the best? Oh, does this mean I'm class leader!"

Takeshi scratches the back of his head. "Well actually, your seating is arranged by your overall class score, which is determined 50% by your academic rating, 25% by your combat rating, and another 25% by your behaviour and attendance. And since we don't really have any scores for you yet, we're just assigning you by your grades in your entrance exams. You scored highest, so-"

"I'm the leader then!" Kuin interrupts, before pumping her fist. "Yes!"

She leans over and reaches into her bag before pulling out a black cape which she drapes around her shoulders. "Huh, why do you have th-" Takeshi begins, but it's too late to get through to her as she already stands atop her desk.

"You heard the man!" She declares. "I'm in charge around here! My name is Kuin Sugisata, and I promise to be a kind and benevolent ruler to you all! Now, I'm in need of guards to act as my security!"

"Uhh... we're in the middle of class..." Takeshi mumbles, unable to stop her.

"You there!" Kuin yells, pointing at an introspective and rather muscular looking boy with dark hair. "What's your name?"

"Gado," the boy replies in a gruff voice. He looks and sounds about ten years older than he actually is.

"Gado, I select you as guard number one!" Kuin declares.

"Whatever," he shrugs.

"And for guard number two... I pick... you!" she yells, pointing in your direction. "If your dad's so great, then you must be a big deal yourself! Defend you ruler!"

You simply zone her out as you keep your headphones on.

"Don't ignore me!" she yells, stamping her foot. "Ignoring your queen is an offence punishable by dea-Whoa!"

Kuin loses balance on her desk, and begins to fall to the floor. As she does, however, Gado bursts from his chair and rushes to the front of class, catching her just before she lands.

"See?" Kuin laughs. "I know how to pick my guards, don't I?"

After that distraction, Takeshi breaths a sigh of relief. "Okay, now that that's over, we can get to learn-"

... And there's the bell.

"Oh boy..." Takeshi mumbles, as he shakes his head.

Well, looks like it's time for first break. You stand up from your desk as Kiriko pats you on the shoulder. "So Kaz, any plans for break?" she asks. "Pretty sure there'll be some cliques developing, so we gotta pick a place to be our territory pretty early. Then, if anyone steps to our turf, I can pull out my ninja skills on them!"

Hmm... where do you want to explore for first break? You probably don't have enough time to check out your dorms, so you'll have to stay contained to the main grounds.

>Let's hang out on the roof.

"The roof, huh?" Kiriko laughs. "What are we now, a pair of delinquents?"

You shrug. "I'd hardly call myself a delinquent. I don't know... the roof seems like fun."

Truth is, your dad told you that he would always go up on the roof during his free time. He always described it as being a nice, relaxing place where people rarely bothered you. Sounds like the kind of place you'd like to chill out at.

As you and Kiriko make your way up the steps and out into the fresh air of the roof, you can see that you're not the first person to get this idea. In fact, another member of your class beat you to it. Leaning against the roof's chainlink fence is a black haired boy in a black tracksuit, an intense stare in his yellow eyes and a permanent scowl on his face.

"Piss off," the boy grumbles as soon as he sees the two of you. "I got here first. This roof is my spot."

"Oh come on!" Kiriko protests. "You can't claim the entire roof for yourself! There's plenty of room for all of us to go a-Yikes!"

As the boy steps closer, you notice it... so does Kiriko, going by her exclamation of shock. The huge scar running down his face over the bridge of the nose. Of course, you have enough tact not to bring it up, especially when this guy already seems to have a short fuse. Kiriko on the other hand...

"Whoa, that scar is badass!" she exclaims with a smile.

"What?!" Roka yells at her. "Shut the hell up! I don't have any scars!"

"Uhh... right..." Kiriko mumbles in a confused tone. "Anyway, you still can't hog this place all to yourself!"

"If you want something, you're supposed to fight for it. I'm willing to fight to keep this spot," the boy explains.

You sigh. "Okay... uhh..."

"Roka."

"Roka, don't you think there's an easier way to settle this than by punching someone's lights out. We're not a bunch of violent apes."

Roka growls. "Typical talk from a weakling. If you not going to step up, then walk away."

"A game of... cards?" Roka asks.

"Yeah, we'll settle it over cards," you explain. "A simple friendly game. A lot less dumb than punches each-other in the face until one of us can't punch anymore, doesn't it?"

Roka folds his arms. "Whatever. And you have a pack of cards on you, right?"

"Well... Kiriko has some in her bag," you reply. "Right?"

"Yeeeeeaaah..." Kiriko mumbles. "Except..."

"Except what?" you ask.

"They aren't exactly poker cards," Kiriko admits. "They're children's trading cards."

"What?" you ask, "You told me you brought a deck of cards for the train ride!"

"I did!" Kiriko explains. "But I don't own any poker decks, and I have a lot of nostalgia for the silly kid's game, okay?"

"Whatever," you sigh. "It's still a card game. You ready to rock, Roka?"

"Only if you don't use a stupid line like that again," Roka replies. "Were you trying to sound cool? God, you annoy me already."

Kiriko pulls out the deck of cards and splits it in two, giving each of you one half. You sit down on the ground of the school roof and get to playing.

It doesn't take long for you to get the upper hand in the game, as it become quickly clear that Roka doesn't understand the rules.

"What the hell is this crap?" Roka grumbles under his breath. "The hell is this card? The hell does it do?"

"The cards have effects that are written on them," you explain. "All you have to do is read the card to understand-"

"Shut up!" Roka snaps, as he examines the card. He squints hard as he stares at it, struggling to decipher what is written. "Damn these stupid... pocket monster or whatever you call them."

"You only have to read the card," you repeat, noticing how badly he's struggling. "Wait a minute... you can read right?"

"Shut up!" Roka repeats. "Of course I can read!"

"Seems like you're struggling," you reply.

Roka grits his teeth, before snapping. He grabs both his deck and yours and tosses them over the fence, the cards blowing away in the wind. Kiriko lets out a cry of protest.

"No!" she screams. "What the hell! Those were mine! I've had them since I was ten!"

"I don't need to take judgement from you people!" Roka fires back. "You want the roof? Take the stupid roof! I'm out of here!"

Looks like you touched a nerve with his reading ability. Now that you think about it, he was at the very back of the class... being based on their exam scores, maybe he is illiterate, or at least has problems in class? He may have been accepted into the academy simply because he looks like he's a capable fighter. Regardless of whatever nerve you touched, Kiriko paid the price for it, as a piece of her childhood was scattered to the wind.

And there's the bell to class. Great. What a waste of everyone's time.

"I guess we should get moving," Kiriko sighs, as she looks out across the fence.

>Yeah, I guess we should.
>Class can wait. We've got some playing cards to recover.

>Class can wait. We've got some playing cards to recover.

"Wait, you mean it?" Kiriko asks. "Kaz, I don't think we're going to get those back."

"Hey, it's not that windy," you reply. "We might not get them all, but I'm sure we could at least recover so-"

You're unable to finish as Kiriko mobs you with a hug, squeezing your ribs tight. "Oh Kaz, you are so awesome!"

"Well," you laugh. "I try. Anything for my best friend, you know? Just leave it to your big bro Kaz."

Kiriko pouts and wags her finger. "Hey, don't get too full of yourself! You're still the younger one!"

The two of you make your way hurriedly down the steps and out into the courtyard. You're already a few minutes late for class, but that's never really mattered to you. You can survive running a little late.

"Ah, there's one!" Kiriko exclaims, tugging on your sleeve and pointing out a card on the ground. "Let's get it!"

You rush over to the card, as the wind begins to pick it up, sending it soaring and flying through the air as you continue to chase after it. Eventually, the trading card is plucked from the air not by you, not by Kiriko, but by a brown haired girl in a red get-up similar to Kiriko's and a headband around her forehead. She grabs it and places it atop an almost complete deck stacked in her left hand. Wow, did she really recover them that quick? Who is this girl.

"I assume these are yours?" the girl asks, handing the card over to Kiriko.

Kiriko gasps in wonder. "Yeah, they are! Thanks so much!"

"It's not an issue, Kiriko." The girl gives Kiriko a small smile. "That is your name, correct? Kiriko Maita? Takeshi-sensei mentioned your name in class."

"Yeah!" Kiriko grins. "Pleasure to meet 'cha! And you are?"

"Apologies," the girl replies. "My name is Mayu. Mayu Nakatoni."

She and Kiriko shake hands, as Mayu stares very intently at Kiriko. Not breaking eye contact at all. "Nice to meet you, Mayu," you decide to chime in.

Mayu's smile fades as she turns her head to address you. "And you are?"

"Kazuma..." you mumble. "Takeshi mentioned my name too..."

"He did?" Mayu replies with a blank face. "I must have forgotten."

Ouch, you're definitely getting the cold treatment from her. Mayu immediately warms up as she turns her attention back to Kiriko.

"Thanks for finding these!" Kiriko smiles. "I was so worried they were lost forever! I was panicking more than a cow reading the menu in a beef restaurant!"

"I'm sorry?" Mayu asks. "I don't understand. Why would a cow attend a beef restaurant?"

Kiriko raises an eyebrow. "Uhh..."

"Surely a barnyard animal wouldn't be allowed inside," Mayu mutters. "That's not even touching on a cow's inability to read any written language, or it's inability to sit in a restaurant booth."

"It's just a joke," Kiriko replies. "It doesn't have to make sense."

"Oh..." Mayu ponders. "I see. That was very humorous, Kiriko."

"Uhh... thanks?" Kiriko replies. "We should probably get to class. Come on!"

Kiriko runs ahead, as Mayu stares at her from behind. You begin walking side-by-side with her, but Mayu constantly changes her pace, speeding up and slowing down when necessary in order to keep her distance.

>I'm sorry. Do you not like me or something?

>If you like Kiriko, you can just ask her out. I don't think she's into other girls, though.

Mayu tilts her head and stares at you. "What are you talking about?"

"Well, you're staring at her like you've got a major crush," you reply.

"I've only just met her," Mayu explains, as serious as can be. "Why would you insinuate that I was romantically interested in her? Because I smiled? What a stupid notion."

"Okay, I guess I was jumping the gun a little," you reply, trying to defend yourself.

"Perhaps you should think before opening your mouth. It would allow you to filter all of the stupid comments that I'm sure are a regular occurrence for you."

Ouch, where the hell is this aggression coming from? What did you do to deserve this brow-beating. "Uhh, sorry."

"You should be," Mayu replies. "You should take example from your sister."

"Kiriko isn't my sister," you say.

"Whatever she is to you, she is kind and courteous, and you are not. She thanked me profusely for recovering those cards, while you still haven't had the decency to introduce yourself."

"But I did..." you protest. "My name is Kazuma..."

"It's a little late to tell me that now," Mayu shakes her head, as she rushes on, trying to catch up with Kiriko. It seems you were doomed to start when it came to her, and talking only made it worse. Maybe it was better if you didn't say anything at all.

You return to class late, though Takeshi doesn't even say anything about it. Seems he's running a pretty lax ship. He stumbles and fumbles through his next couple hours of teaching, and you zone him out until the bell rings for lunch.

"Hey Kaz!" Kiriko exclaims as soon as class ends. "Mayu invited me to come eat lunch with her in the courtyard!"

"Really?" you ask. "She invited us?"

"Well, she invited me," Kiriko explains. "But I don't think she'll have a problem with you coming along. I think she likes you!"

You glance over Kiriko's shoulder to see Mayu staring daggers at you and shaking her head.

>Sure, I'll come with.

"Ah, I see..." Kiriko winks, "You want to have another one of your lonely brooding sessions, right?"

"I don't brood!" you protest. "Stop saying I brood!"

Kiriko laughs. "Yeah, I'm sure all those time you act all super introspective and stare out windows isn't you trying to look cool and brooding."

"I don't do that!" you reply.

"Hey, don't let me stop you!" Kiriko stick out her tongue. "Maybe eventually a girl will actually come up to you because she thinks the whole lonely and thoughtful look is attractive!"

As Kiriko laughs, satisfied that she's teased you about girls at least once today, she hurries off with Mayu in order to grab lunch. At least she's making friends. It seems everyone around here had something against you. Is is the way you carry yourself? You may have come into the academy with a chip on your shoulder considering who your dad is, but you don't think you made it too obvious.

You wander through the school corridors, examining your surroundings. In the wake of this whole 'fitting into a new school' thing, you had almost forgotten the real reason this academy exists. Tonight, you'll be entering the Darkworld for the first time. A dimension filled with all sort of beasts and demons and unknown horrors... and it's also where your father has been trapped for three years.

You walk out of the main building and wander by the main gate. From there you see a blonde boy in what appears to be a white cloak and hood standing by the gate. You recognise him as a member of your class, and as you walk closer, you see that he's feeding a stray dog through the gate.

"Hey!" you call out, hoping to grab his attention. "How are you?"

The boy stares at you before shrinking her head further under his cloak. Seemingly shy, he scurries off back up to the main building before you can get any closer. Odd.

Just as you turn your back to the gate, you feel a hand being placed on your shoulder. Four long and slender fingers with the nails painted red creep onto you. Startled, you spin around to see a pale... boy? He has long dark hair and an ear-ring, and has a very slim and feminine face, but you feel certain that it's a boy that stand before you.

"Oh my, aren't you a handsome thing!" the boy laughs in an upper-class voice. "My apologies, but when I saw you in class earlier, I just knew I had to introduce myself! My name is Atasuke, and it is an honour among honours to make your acquaintance."

Atasuke grins wide as he takes your hand and kisses the back of it, as if he were a lord greeting a lady.

"Uhh..." you begin. "I'm Kazuma, by the way."

"Oh, I know!" Atasuke replies, grinning. "You think I would forget a name like that?"

"Well, I have to say, you're a lot friendlier than many of the others I've met so far," you mention. "In fact, I didn't expect anyone to get this friendly..."

"Oh, don't be so pessimistic!" Atasuke protests. "I'm sure you're bound to attract many fine bachelorettes, or bachelors if you're so inclined..."

Atasuke gives a playful wink, one you're not sure how to respond to.

"So, did you also see that kid by the gate?" you ask.

"Oh, you mean Taiyo?" Atusuke asks. "He's certainly an enigma. I've haven't been able to pull as much as a single word from him all day! And not for lack of trying. You're much more obliging, Kazuma."

"Thank you?" you reply, unsure if that's a compliment or not.

"No, thank you!" Atasuke fires back. "I'm sure the two of us will have a lot of fun together. Now, if you'll excuse me..."

Atasuke sniffs the air, as he pulls a red rose from his front pocket. "I'm catching a whiff of the perfume worn by none other than the blue-haired beauty of our class, Hanako Simada, and I absolutely must introduce myself!"

Atasuke wanders off, as you tilt your head in confusion as to what just happened. He's definitely a forward one... that's for sure.

Still, lunchtime isn't over yet, and you still have time to wander around. But where do you want to check out?

Now that you think about it, your stomach is rumbling. You haven't eaten since you were on the train this morning, and even then that was just a light snack.

You make your way towards the school cafeteria, but just as you enter, you are bowled over by a stampeding girl carrying a tray filled with various foodstuffs. The whole thing topples to the floor onto you, as you find yourself covered in rice, beef, chicken, noodles, doughnuts, mashed potatoes, and who knows what else. Who the hell orders all of this stuff at lunch.

Well, whoever she is, she sure isn't happy with you. "Watch where you're going you dipshit!" she screams, her eyebrow twitching, her face scrunched up in anger. "Don't you know how to enter a room! Come on, that was my second lunch you covered yourself in!"

"Excuse me?" you ask. "How is this my fault? You were the one running!" And did she just say second lunch? How much does this girl eat?

Turns out talking back to her was not the brightest of ideas as she reaches down and grabs you by the shirt, pulling you to your feet. "It's your fault because you're the idiot here, not me! You better have some way of making up for all this! Buy me another lunch! Twice the size of this one!"

"What? I don't have the money for that!" you protest, as she sets you back to your feet and you begin to wipe the food off of your body.

"You better think of something!" the girl yells back. "I'm going to be eating something in the next five minutes, and if you don't make up for this mess, that something is going to be you, got it?!"

>There's no way I'm buying you a second lunch. You bumped into me.

>Are... are you coming on to me?

The girl's eye twitches. "Am I... what?!"

"You know, coming on to me," you repeat. "Because it really sounds like you're trying to flirt."

Her face turns red as she lets out a sharp exhale from her nose. You could swear you see steam coming out as she does. "I'm going to kill you."

"That's going a little too far, don't you think?" you ask.

"You come in here, ruin my second lunch, and then try to say I'm flirting with you?!" the girl screams. "Nothing's too far! You're dead meat!"

She grabs you by the scruff of the neck and begins to drag you out of the cafeteria. Damn, she's freakishly strong, even before entering the Darkworld. She drags you to the main entrance of the school, kicks the door open and tosses you out, your face making a neat arrangement with the pavement.

"From now on, any time I see your stupid ass around, I'm going to toss you right out of here again! Got it?"

As you pick yourself off the ground and dust yourself off, now covered in gravel along with the various foodstuffs, you turn your head back to her. "Can I at least get a name?" you ask.

"My name is screw you!" she yells as she slams the door shut.

You let out a sigh as the bell rings for the end of lunch. Your stomach still rumbling, you pull the candy bar out of your pocket. It's all mashed and melted now after your altercation with the girl. Great.

You return to class, throwing on your headphones and ignoring any questions Kiriko had about your messy clothes. You zone out of the last part of classes for the day, and as the bell rings, you are given directions to the Class 1 dormitory.

"Aw man, looks like we won't be sharing a room," Kiriko sighs as you arrive.

"Did you think we would?" you ask. "Dark Gate Academy doesn't allow for mixed gender room-mates."

"Yeah..." Kiriko shrugs, "But I still let myself get hopeful. Oh well, it turns out I'll be crashing with Mayu for the year! Pretty sweet!"

"And I'll be crashing with some guy called Chuichi," you reply.

"That'd be me," a green haired boy approached you, a skateboard held under his arm. "Yo, I'm Chuichi Murkami. I'll be your room-mate for the year. Pretty sweet, huh?"

"Yeah, It's good to meet you," you reply. "I'm-"

"Kazuma, I know," he interrupts. "So Kaz, let's cut to the chase. The chicks. Any of these girls impress you so far?"

>Not really, no.

>I did have a girl say that she wanted to eat me, does that count?
>Why are you asking that all of a sudden? Trying to stake your claim on a girl?

Chuichi chuckles. "She wanted to eat you? Now that does sound like she was coming on to you."

"That's what I said!" you reply.

Chuchi smiles as he throws his hands up. "But yeah, you've got me. Just wanted to see if you were into any girls so we wouldn't be stepping on each-others toes. Because I gotta say, I'm really digging Mayu."

"Mayu?" you ask, thinking back to that cold, humourless girl... who was also very interested in Kiriko. "What attracts you to her?"

"Well, you see... I want to be the first to make her laugh," Chuichi explains.

"What?"

Chuichi smirks. "If you met her today, you'll have picked up on it already. Everyone else has. Mayu is super serious, and she doesn't understand any jokes. The key to a girls heart is through laughter, and I think that's truer than ever in her case. Also, I think she's pretty beautiful."

"Yeah, she is a looker," you reply. "Reminds me of something my dad said about the academy. He always told me that the true enigma of Dark Gate Academy was that no ugly people attended."

Chuichi laughs. "Wow, really? Guess this school just lures all the really attractive people in. You dad's words are doing wonders for my self-esteem at least!"

There's a brief pause between the two of you, before Chuichi speaks up once more. "So, your dad taught here, right?"

"Yeah," you reply. "I've known about the academy my whole life"

Chuchi smiles. "Then it's a real coincidence we got bunked together. I've known about all of this my whole life too."

"Really?" you ask.

Chuichi nods. "Yep! I grew up in Dakugeto. Lived in this village my whole life. Heck, you could probably see my family home from our window... well, you can't. But if our room was facing the other way, and there wasn't the main building in the way... then you could see it."

"So, I guess that means you're prepared for the Darkworld?" you ask. "Because we'll be going in there tonight."

"Can't wait," Chuichi replies. "What do you think we'll see in there?"

>Demons, and lots of them.

"Well yeah, that much is obvious," Chuichi replies. "But I was wondering if we might come across something else while we're there."

You shrug your shoulders. "Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see."

"We won't have to wait long," Chuichi remarks. "In fact, we should probably get moving to the gymnasium now. We need to gather there to be given weapons, it was all covered in-"

"The start of year assembly, I know." You throw your bag to the ground. "I might have missed it, but I know everything that gets covered in there. My dad was a teacher, remember?"

"No Kaz," Chuichi retorts. "Your dad was the teacher. There's a framed painting of him hanging outside the principal's office and everything!"

You wait for Kiriko and Mayu to get settled into their room, before the four of you make your way to the school gymnasium. The rest of Class 1 are there, accompanied by Takeshi. A brown haired girl is handing out equipment placed on a table. You grab a long katana from the table, still contained within a scabbard. You begin to draw it from its holdings, and the intense shine of the silver blade almost speaks to you.

"Like what you see, handsome?" the brown haired girl smirks. "Well, that swords all yours, for the measly fee of 3000 yen!"

"3000 yen?!" you exclaim. You don't have that much to spend.

"3000 yen is very generous for a blade of that caliber," the girl explains.

"How much for these daggers?" Kiriko asks.

"1000 each, and I can assure you, that's a bargain."

"Sold!" Kiriko yells as she excitedly reaches into her pocket, until you stop her.

"Hang on a minute," you remark. "The school is charging for these?"

"Of course!" the girl replies. "Weapons like these don't come cheap!"

"No..." you reply. "I know this school too well. All the weapons and equipment are free for student use. All survival equipment are donations. I'm guessing you were put in charge of handing them out, and wanted to make some money of your own?"

The girl smirks and gives a playful wink. "Oh... I like you. Looks like I've got an expert on my hands."

"Did you seriously charge people for these?" you ask.

The girl shrugs. "I have to make money somehow! A girl's gotta eat, you know! Besides, I won't charge you for these now that you've cracked my secret. Just... stay quiet and you can take whatever you want from the table, completely free!"

>No, I'm telling Takeshi what you've been doing, you scam artist.
>Fine, but don't try to charge anyone else from here, okay?

The girl stares at you. "Why not?"

"Because I don't want anyone getting killed just because they can't afford one of your prices."

"K-killed?" the girl asks in shock. "Do you really think I would deny someone something to defend themselves with? No, if they couldn't afford the set price, I would have accepted whatever they have in pocket, no matter how little it is. I'm not a monster!"

"Yeah, you're real charitable," you roll my eyes. "You're practically a saint."

The girl pouts. "I see, and I suppose you know me already? You've already worked me out, haven't you? You don't even know my name!"

You sigh. "What is it?"

The girl smirks, and gives a dynamic pose as she introduces herself. "My name is Io Tanaka, the merchant of Dark Gate Academy!"

"Merchant? More like crook," you remark.

Io puffs out her cheeks. "And yet you haven't introduced yourself at all! You're putting me at a disadvantage?"

"Kazuma," you answer. "Kazuma Asai."

Io smiles. "Well Kazuma, it was a pleasure doing business with you." She lifts the sword from the desk and places it in your hand, making sure her fingers brush lightly against your arm as she does. It's a pleasant sensation. "I hope you won't be a stranger. I'm already starting to like you."

What is it with you and these people? Even the ones who like you are creeping you out or trying to rob you.

"Night's approaching," Kiriko remarks, a hint of nervousness in her voice. "You all ready?"

You catch a glimpse of two of your classmates, one a brown haired boy, the other a stunningly beautiful blonde, kneeling and facing the wall as the silently pray, side-by-side. "Who are they?" you ask.

"Oh that's the amazing Shibata twins," Chuichi explains. "The girl's called Amaya. The boy's Makoto. They're apparently from some family of circus performers. I guess they must be religious."

Yes, they must be. You're wondering whether or not you should go over and talk to them when the floor crumbles beneath you, and you feel yourself falling.

You knew about this, your father explained the sudden passage everyone takes entering the Darkworld hundreds of times... but nothing could prepare you for the sensation. The feeling of sinking into nothingness, and arriving in an entirely different world on the other side. As you look around, you survey your new surroundings.

"A forest?" you hear Roka remarking. "I was expecting hell."

"The Darkworld takes many forms," you explain. "You rarely find yourself in the same part of the Darkworld twice. It's constantly shifting and moving."

"Hey, what makes you a sudden expert on all this?!" Sae snaps.

"I've done my research," you answer.

Still, you were hoping for something a little more... exciting than a seemingly lush and verdant forest area. In a way, you were hoping to be thrown more into the deep end, find yourself battling with something truly weird and wonderful. Hmm... maybe Kiriko was right all those times she called you an obsessive fan of the Darkworld. The idea of finally being here does leave excited tingles running up and down your spine, something you haven't experienced since you were a kid on Christmas day.

"Okay everyone!" Takeshi announces. "Most of the combat tonight will be carried out by classes 2 and 3. Our main priority is just to get acquainted with the world and... well, you know... surviving."

"Good luck everyone!" the female twin, Amaya, exclaims with cheerful exuberance. "May the spirit of the Elder One keep you all safe!"

"Yes, may the... wait what?" Kiriko states, raising an eyebrow.

>I'm curious. I'm going to ask these twins about this Elder One.

The Elder One? You've never heard about that before. Must be some kind of obscure religion. You decide that you should use this time to ask them about it. As you approach, the boy smiles and waves at you. "Ah, Kazuma!" he laughs. "We haven't met yet! Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Makoto Shibata, and this right here is my twin sister Amaya!"

"I'll also like you to know that I was the twin born first!" Amaya laughs. "So, it's up to me to defend my little brother here!"

The two share a laugh as you raise an eyebrow. They seem friendly enough, but you're surprised to see siblings getting along so... pleasantly. Kiriko is like a sister to you, and the two of you bicker all the time. These two are unnaturally friendly. "Twins, huh? You don't look much alike."

"We get that all the time," Makoto remarks. "So Kazuma, you seem to know a lot about the Darkworld."

You shrug. "Well, it's not really a big deal."

"Could it be that you are also a follower of The Elder One?" Makoto asks.

"No... as a matter of fact, I was curious as to what this Elder One is..." you reply. "Wait... what does the Elder One have to do with The Darkworld?"

"Well, he created it for one," Makoto explains.

"He... what?!" you reply. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Makoto gasps and covers his ears. "Kazuma, would you be so kind as to lay off such filthy language?"

"Filthy?" you ask. "Hell is too filthy for you? Damn..."

Makoto gasps again. "Would you please stop?!"

File: Amaya&Makoto02.jpg (284 KB, 885x885)

You shake your head and sigh. "Sure, whatever... so this Elder One. It created the Darkworld?"

"According to the stories passed down through our family," Amaya explains with a smile. "You see, we're descended from the original settlers of Dakugeto. Our ancestors fought the Darkworld when it first appeared in ours, and when it was sealed for the first time, we became wandering nomads. Travelling from place to place, but holding onto our stories, and the tales of how the Darkworld came to be."

"Uh huh..." you mutter, unconvinced. "And how did that happen?"

"Well, the story goes that there was this great deity known as The Elder One. The Elder One decided that he should create his own world, a mirror to ours, but one made to reflect all of humanities deepest fears and vices. He created the Darkworld in an attempt to store all of the world's evil inside its own reality. A place where all was wrong, so that our world could truly be right. He made his own pantheon of gods to rule over and maintain the Darkworld itself. He named them Archdemons, and each one was born from a different nightmare. Unfortunately, the Archdemons became too powerful, and they turned against their creator. They slayed The Elder One, and spread the evil from their world back into ours... which is why evil still exists on our side. But while he may have passed, with his last breath The Elder One poured his power into as many humans as he could, granting them and their descendants with innate god-like powers that need only be awakened. The spirit of The Elder One lives on in all of us!"

As you begin blinking, trying to process that dump of information in your mind, Amaya and Makoto stare expectantly at you.

"So..." Amaya begins. "What do you think?"

>Sounds like a really bad fairy tale.
>Uhh... yeah, that's a very nice story.

>I can believe it. Nothing's too weird for this place.

Amaya blushes. "Oh, that's good to know. Most people have been looking at us strangely."

"Hey, whatever you believe has no bearing on me," you reply. "Besides, we know very little about the Darkworld even after years of studying it. Who's to say your old stories aren't right? I'm not going to rule them out."

Amaya smiles as she steadies her spear. "Thank you, that's awfully nice of you, Kazuma. May all your wishes come true."

"The Elder One grants wishes, too?" you ask.

Amaya giggles. "No, no! That's just coming from me. I've always believed that if you wish for something enough, it's bound to come true eventually! And I sincerely wish that whatever you wish, comes true!"

You shrug. "Thanks... I'm guess a person with a motto like that is also someone with a lot of wishes."

"You know it!" Amaya laughs. "A lot of people think I'm idealistic. Me and my brother both... but I truly believe that we will someday achieve world peace, and that one day... well, I believe that a knight or a prince will swoop in and sweep me off my feet!"

"What, like a prince will ride in on a white horse like in an old fairytale?" you ask.

"Maybe..." she pouts. "I know it sounds silly, but I still have hope! They don't even have to ride in on a steed! Just when a man comes to answer the call to be a noble and pure knight. A paladin of all that is good and righteous. That could be anyone! It could be you!"

Is... Is she coming on to you? "Me, huh?"

Amaya places a finger to her chin. "Well, not right now. You're not exactly paladin material at the moment. You swear, you have a lax attitude, and you would have to do something about that slouch! No self-respecting knight would ever adopt such a lazy posture!"

"Uhh... thanks," you shrug as you walk on, before hearing a low roar.

"What was that?" Chuichi asks. "Sounds like we've got a demon on our hands!"

Hearing that, you can't control yourself. Clutching the hilt of your sword, you find yourself running in the direction of the roar. You know it's a bad idea, but your legs aren't listening to your brain. Some part of you is too excited to do battle with a demon... and that part of you is winning. You feel a fire in your eyes as you catch a glimpse of the first monster you've ever encountered in the Darkworld. The first Darkworlder you've ever laid eyes on. You feel tingles, a strange energy rushing through your hold body as you see the massive beast that lies before you.

Kiriko bursts from the brush of the forest, having chased after you. She gasps and stares in wide-eyed shock at the beast that stand before the two of you.

"Is... is that a freaking T-Rex?"

"What? Are you serious?!" Kiriko yells at you. "I can't ride on that things back!"

You smirk. "Come on Kiriko, can't you feel it?"

"Feel what?"

"It," you respond. "The tremors running through your body. The tingling in your brain, the tightening of your muscles. That's the feeling of us getting stronger, Kiriko. We're officially awakened now, and we can take on one measly Darkworlder. Now, I'm going to keep it busy while you get up on its back."

"You really think we can do that?" Kiriko asks.

"I don't think... I know."

Kiriko gives you a confident nod, letting her know that you have her full trust as you ready your sword. Time to get to action.

... But first, time to adjust your headphones a little...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRQlrIkj3GY

Okay, now you're ready.

You break into a sprint, your hand still gripped around the hilt of your sword as you get closer to the beast. With a confident smirk, you wait for the t-rex to notice your presence, as it lowers it's head to trap you within its massive jaws, you hop onto it's head, pull out your sword and slice at it's neck. Nothing deep, just a cut enough to hurt it and keep it angry with you.

You hop the the ground as the dinosaur lets out an angry roar. It chases you, and you continue to move and outmanoeuvre the beast's clumsy movements. As it gets close once more, you slide under it's legs and slice at its ankles, slowing it down further.

Meanwhile, Kiriko's picking her spot, and as the T-rex stumbles with it's weakened base, she sees her opportunity. She runs towards the creature, her focus entirely upon it's neck. As she runs, you see her disappear into a puff of smoke, only to reappear, seated neatly on the t-rex's back. The shocked expression on her face matches yours.

"You did it!" You exclaim, as Kiriko steadies herself on the beast's back. "I don't know what you just did, but you did it!"

"I don't know what that was either, but it was awesome!" Kiriko laughs, playfully petting the neck of the barely mobile monster. "This is great! I'm going to call him... devilsaur!"

"That's a terrible name," you call back, staying a safe distance from the dinosaur and it's jaws.

"In your opinion!" Kiriko yells back, sticking out her tongue. "I think it's an awesome name, and I want to keep him forever and-WHOAH!"

Before you know it, Kiriko is losing her balance. Not because the beast threw her off or because she got distracted, no. But because a figure swooped in and forcibly removed the t-rex's head in one quick swing of his sword. Roka had slayed the beast.

Kiriko falls flat on her ass, as the dinosaur's remains dissolve into a black goo. "No, devilsaur!" she exclaims. She picks herself up and rushes over to Roka, poking him in the chest. "What did you do that for?!"

"What are you, dense?!" Roka snaps back. "That was a Darkworlder, not a plaything! You idiots should be thanking me for killing it when all you two could do was goof off!"

"We were not goofing off!" Kiriko protests. "We were just having a little fun, is all... jerk."

"Fun? In the Darkworld?" Roka replies. "Are you really this much of an idiot?"

"Says the guy who can't read..." Kiriko mumbles.

Roka growls. "You think I'm afraid to hit you because you're a girl? Don't push me."

>We had the situation under control, Roka.

"If you had the situation under control, that thing would have been dead already," Roka growls. "You two were just fooling around, and you would have gotten killed. I should have let it eat you before killing it. That ought to teach you a lesson."

You shake your head. "Come on, Roka. I was dancing circles around that thing. Me and Kiriko know what we're doing. Trust me, as long as we're here, nobody is going to die."

>DAY 34

"We're here to honour the memory of Yasunari Hatake, who tragically fell within the Darkworld last night. While his body was never recovered in one piece, we hope that his spirit may still find peace."

It's been little over a month since you started attending the academy, and Class 1 has suffered it's first death among their ranks. Yasunari... you barely knew the guy, must have shared a couple of words at most with him. Last night, he got separated from the rest of the class after an attack from a horde of goblin-like creatures split most of the group up. While everyone reunited by the end into one group, Yasunari was nowhere to be found. That is, until Hanako, the blue-haired Class President, discovered his head separated from the rest of his body. She's been a nervous wreck ever since.

You consider maybe talking to her after the memorial service, but being the popular girl that she is, she's already surrounded by classmates trying to comfort her. Besides, despite her popularity, Hanako actually quite awkward and clumsy. You and her have only interacted a handful of times, and every time it ends the same way... the conversation starts off normally, until a spot of clumsiness on her part leads to the two of you bumping your head together, followed by her running away in embarrassment. You don't want to try to comfort her only to get a repeat of every other time you've spoke.

"Hey Kaz, can I talk to you about something?" Kiriko asks.

"Sure," you reply, raising an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Did what happen with Yasunari make you worried?"

Kiriko shakes her head. "What? No, it's got nothing to do with that! I was just thinking about starting up a club!"

"A club?" you ask. "This school has clubs? That's news to me."

"Nah, we don't have any yet," Kiriko explains, "But that's because no extra-curricular society has managed to gain enough support. A Saki Kobashi in the year above us tried hard to start a culture club, but she received... zero signatures."

"Wow, she can't be popular," you chuckle.

"Yeah, well I was thinking... we usually don't have a place to eat lunch without being bothered by Roka or Sae or..."

... Or Mayu, you think to yourself, but never say out loud. Kiriko has convinced herself that you and Mayu get along swimmingly.

"...But, if we start a club," Kiriko continues, "We'll have access to one of those empty clubrooms they keep locked up during lunch-time, whenever we want! All we need is at least five members, and the permission and supervision of our homeroom teacher."

"Okay, so what kind of club were you thinking?" you ask. "I'm hoping for a school band."

Kiriko shakes her head. "Actually... here's where Yasunari does come into it... his death was weird, Kaz. It's a real mystery, and then I realised there's so many mysteries surrounding the Darkworld. Let's not forget about all the people who have gone missing in there..."

"Like my dad," you reply.

Kiriko nods. "Right... well I was thinking we could set up a group dedicated to investigating these mysteries. We could call it the Darkworld Investigation Club! Maybe we could even throw our names in there, it's our club, after all!"

"Eh, how about the Darkworld Investigation Group?" you suggest. "I'm not fond of your version's acronym, especially if we added our names to the end..."

"Huh? Oh..." Kiriko's eyes widen, as she sees your point. "Good thinking. Anyway, I'm going to set up a stall right now, see if I can get any signatures."

>Cool, I'll help out.

>Cool, I'll help out.

You and Kiriko quickly get to setting up a stall... and by stall, you mean dragging a small desk out in the middle of the main entrance and placing a blank sheet of paper atop it with a blue pen to the side. The first person to approach your desk is Mayu. She doesn't even ask what it is. The second she sees Kiriko, she simply marches up to the table and signs her name on the sheet of paper. Kiriko smiles and thanks her before she gives you an icy look before walking off. Fantastic, first signatory and it's someone who can't stand you. Don't worry, you'll only have to spend every lunchtime from now on in her company.

Next to approach the 'stall' is Chuichi. Good, you and he have gotten pretty close of the last months, being room-mates and everything. He's bound to join up.

"Sorry dude," Chuichi apologises when told about the club. "I don't really like to pigeonhole myself into certain groups. I'm a free man, you know?"

"Are you sure?" you ask. "Just so you know, Mayu's a member..."

Chuichi ponders over it for a moment. "Tempting... but nah, I'd like to be my own man. But it's still cool if I visit your clubroom during lunch sometimes, right?"

"Yeah, sure..." you mumble, as Chuichi rolls away, riding his skateboard indoors.

Next visitor to the stand is Ukon, a red-haired boy in your class who is constantly decked out in loose fitting sports clothes. "What have you got here, Kaz?" he asks curious. "A new club, huh? Is it a sports club? Basketball, Hockey, Baseball, Soccer? Which is it?!"

You're taken aback by the excitement in his voice. He's certainly been lusting after a proper sports club for a while. "It's not a sports club, sorry Ukon."

"Aww man, booooooooring!" Ukon exclaims, before flashing you a devilish grin. "Oh well, if you ever want to shoot some hoops Kaz, you know where to find me!"

Next person to step up to the plate is a brown-haired in your class by the name of Risa. You haven't spoken to her at all in your time here, especially since she's been seen a few times with Roka.

"Oh hey, it's you guys!" she smiles as she approaches the sheet of paper. "You're the guys Roka hates, right?"

>Yeah, that's us.
>Why, is he your boyfriend or something?

>>Why, is he your boyfriend or something?
I must.

>>466748
>Yeah, that's us.
Time to get back at Roka.

>Yeah, that's us.
>He can't read

>>466748
>>Yeah, that's us.

>>466748
>Why, is he your boyfriend or something?

Want to hear it from her mouth, don't leave me hanging.

>>466748
>>Why, is he your boyfriend or something?

>Ukon, a red-haired boy
Maybe I've just spent too much time on /a/ but I blurted "That's a guy?" out when I read this. I'm sure it's just that the thumbnail made him look feminine. Yeah, that must be it.

>>466748
>Yeah, that's us.

>Yeah, that's us.

>>466754
>>466784
>>466796
Boyfriend

>>466759
>>466771
>>466773
That's us

It's a tie, so I'll combine the two answers. Calling for;
>Yeah, that's us. Why, is he your boyfriend or something?
Writing now.
