Suddenly, a soft chuckle emerged from the fog of silence. First and Second grinned wickedly as eyes landed on them. “Dont worry Deus.” First assured, his once pure and sugar-coated appearance gone, “Navine will be next.” A spear-like glare fired straight at Eleventh, stabbing his mind like an arrow through a freshly-plucked apple.
“How do you know my name?!?!?!” He cursed, “My love is very clever....and cunning.” Second explained; strengthening the tension between the Sevenths and First. “We figured if every contestant so far was a student at our school..you’d be too.” And that was that, Deus nodded, swaying his arm across the platform and one by one the once hidden identies became crystal clear.
Eleventh stood tall, he was merely shocked by how quickly he was uncovered since he tried his best to keep a low profile, but alas he was still found. He managed to eliminate all but one piece of that slick puzzle of guess who: ‘His status.’ Navine was elevated in almost lesson, lecture and class in general. His exceeding marks also led to him going up in terms of postion within the school. The School Council had different departments, and a strict platform in which not everyone could step up to.
But Navine had. Thats what made him stand out; council heads were changed every few years to make sure every member had a chance, and Navine had so happened to haul himself onto that platform right then. Back to the present; he wasnt afraid. Oh no, he didnt even flinch at the numerous envious glares and whispers he recieved; his ego was inflated by those jealous whispers actually.
Fluffy coal hair bounced up and down as he turned to the hugging pair. “Hmm, very well then you both.” He admitted, “But you soon will meet your demise, all of you.” Mocking laughs of pure sarcasm echoed to every member, but only Nico cowered. She didnt want this, she didnt want to fight. Fun and games was her main idea of this, until people started dying. She placed her tan hands over her head crouched down fearfully.
Struggling to even comprehend the idea of murder, she failed to notice that she had caught the attention of the Sevenths; Kamuro and Semuro Mai. They had known her from young, but had not expected her of all people to appear in such a— well... Life-threatening game. Semuro turned to his brother; leaning up to him and whispering lowly in his other-half’s ear, “Should we?” He queried challengingly.
Kamuro didnt need to look around to feel his brother’s devilish smirk tatooing itself on his back, what could go wrong? She is our ally from the start after all, and plus, she’s completely harmless. “Okay.” Was the monotone response that reached Semuro’s ears. He smiled, looking up at Deus who sent everyone back to their homes.

-Navine’s P.O.V-
<At Navine’s House>
My mind spun in a haze of perplexition. What had just happened? I have so much work to do now thanks to those morons. I scrambled to my laptop which I was working on for my Trigonometery homework. (Yep. I did that. 😂) Upon scrolling through the various thousands of tabs I had opened for examples to practice on, I came across one that wasnt there before. My email page. It was opened, with one new message from an Unknown creature.
’Team?’
’Who are you.’ I demanded, Im not teaming up with an anonymous.
’10th, Pierce Palven, pleased to meet you Navine.’
I let the stupid idea simmer for a good 10 minutes before sending a reply back:
’You have a deal. Meet me at the park after school tomorrow so we can discuss.’
Like she had nothing better to do; Pierce texted back instantly:
’Very well then. Ill see you there Nerd.’
What did she just call me. Oh whatever, no point getting all pissed and fussy with a team mate. I sighed and brushed it off, running my hand through my hair; letting my glasses shuffle their way so they sat right on the middle of the bridge of my nose. Hands stretched out to clear and stack the hundreds near thousands of homework and revision papers to reveal a special set.
”Candice Evergreen and Baron Alton you both have not been the only ones doing research...” I whispered, opening a totally new browser and setting up their death wish.
It was going to be perfect.
