*The group backed off, at the sight of the knife unnerved yet still angry. Waia stepped forward.*
"....I never expected to come face to face, with The Swan himself."
"Sw...Swan?! That...uncaught serial killer?!"
"Hehehehe...you heard of me, hm? Good. Good. This makes this way easier....."
"I am The Swan. I am Humanity's pest control, wiping out the ugly so that the beautiful can remain....Ugly people shouldn't be allowed to live, so that beautiful people have to suffer because of them..."
"A serial killer?! Oh...oh no...Is he gonna kill us..?!"
"N..no! I..I don't wanna die!"
"He won't kill us."
"Wh..what do you mean?"
"If he...really wanted to kill us, he would have done so already. But the fact that you revealed yourself to us, means that you have different plans for us. Am I right?"
"Heheheh...Very based and smart observation, Miss Shiru. It's true. I am not here to kill you."
"I want to play with you."
"What game? Is this some LARP or why else would you wear a stupid costume like that?"
"DONT YOU DARE INSULT ME YOUR WORM!"
"........Simply put. I want to play a Killing Game with you."
......
What.
*All of us stared at the figure in disbelief, shock and fear.*
"K..Killing game?"
"Wha....What do you mean...?"
"Exactly, what it says. I have a Killing Game for you. And in order to win this game, all you need to do is kill a participant of yours and get away with it, during a trial. Simple, right?"
"T..Trial....Kill..killing someone?!"
"What the fuck is your problem?! We won't kill each other!"
"Th..this..soun...sounds gross.....and horr..horrible..I..I don't want that.."
"Hehehehe. Many people say that, yet murder you will. Otherwise, the game would be too boring."
"Oh and, don't bother trying to call the police or calling for help. After all, I have control over the lock mechanism here in this academy. Not that the cops would help you, anyway. Not only that, but I cut off the internet. Except the ask box, you have ZERO contact to the Outside World."
"S..So that's why, I couldn't call the cops, when we were on our way here?! Or couldn't accept my insta?!"
"Yes, MX Shiori. That is correct. You are trapped. Like a bunch of rats, in a cage. Rip you filthy bozos."
"W...We are..trapped..."
"Indeed. If you want to get out, you have to kill and get away with it. I'll tell you more about the rules of this game, when the time comes."
"Oh yeah. One more thing."
