[color=fff200]“Wonderful! Looks like we’ll be taking a field trip for class today.”[/color]

Kenji’s smile perked up as he spun on his heels and walked away, motioning for the students to follow him. In any normal circumstance, alarm bells would have been ringing if any outsider saw this scene. In this situation…the alarm bells would still be set off. 

[color=fff200]“Here we are!”[/color]

The suited man raised his arms to introduce a whole lot of…nothing. Nothing in sight. Just a dead end to the alleyway, the lighting grainy and dark. In the blink of an eye, there suddenly lay a knife in Kenji’s hand. With expert ease, he twirled and tossed the thing near the group's feet with the blade embedded in the ground.

[color=fff200]“Well go ahead now. Make some dead bodies,”[/color] he said, letting his words hang in the air. When he let the gruesome implications set in, he smirked and followed up with, [color=fff200]“Hey, hey, I’m only kidding! I’m not that sick in the head, right? You guys wanted a body, so I’ll give you one, free of charge.”[/color]

The knife was gone. One blink and it disappeared. Replacing it was, in all actuality, a dead body. It was strewn about with pale skin and dirty, black hair. By its frame, it looked like a woman who had maybe drowned, despite the fact that there was no water. Misty, sightless eyes stared out into the world of the living without so much as a twitch.

Kenji placed his hands in his pockets, backing away hastily.

[color=fff200]“Well it’s really been fun, but I’ve got places to be,”[/color] he said while clutching his fedora to his head. [color=fff200]“Bye now! Oh, and stay in school!”
[/color]

Another blink and…he was gone. Well that was pretty pointless, albeit morbid. What was his deal anyway-did the corpse just move? 

Back at school, things were going well…relatively speaking. Hearing Haruki give into her sister’s request, Ruki burst out into another round of loud mirth. Seriously, he really didn’t know what he was getting into. Not that she would inform him of Akane’s…interests.

[color=a187be]“Thank you…Senpai,”[/color] Akane said quietly, loosening her grip significantly now. She brushed her head along Haruki's arm affectionately, a small smile finally breaking out onto her otherwise stoic face.

Overhearing Seth’s outburst about the dead body, Ruki again laughed knowingly. This time she actually took the time to explain.

[color=f49ac2]“Ah, must be Nagato-san trolling again,”[/color] she explained to Haruki since he was new to the city. [color=f49ac2]“Oh yeah, his requests always have a price you know. Wonder what prank he’s pulling on Ren right now! As for this school….well, I dunno. As old as Onee-chan? Don’t tell her I said that!”[/color]

The girl adjusted her glasses, pondering now as she looked up at the old ceiling above them.

[color=f49ac2]“But seriously…this place is pretty old. Can’t say how old, but I’d guess as old as Miso City. Makes sense when you think about it. I mean, we [i]are [/i] the only school in this town.”[/color]
