Act: 38
Once the teacher had finished talking, he allowed the students to introduce themselves one by one, soon coming over to the interesting desk group.
Taku stood up out of his seat speaking in a somewhat arrogant tone.
"Yea, the name is Fujiki Taku. Remember it! Because I'll stomp everyone in this tournament and become the number 1 Ranker of all time!"
*Hmm, Fujiki- an interesting bloodline...*
"Sit down. Save the speech for when you get past the first round, next."
Continuing with the introduction, the class seemed to have a mixture of arrogant, nervous, or just flat-out neutral students. Until it was then Aikawa's turn to speak.
"Hphm. My name is Miyu Aikawa, and I will be taking this pink-haired bitch down along with this guy on my right. Shizu. If that's how we're going to play this."
"Sit. Ok then, nice speech. Only just needed your name. Now on to the next student."
Shizu spoke with no emotion in his voice, standing up to then quickly sitting back down. Not batting an eye with the teacher or any of the other students.
"Shizu."
"Is that it? Seriously...? First or Last?"
He leaned back on his seat looking up at the ceiling to then glance back at the teacher.
"I don't have a last name. I can't remember it, or I was never given one. My name is Shizu and that's it."
"Well then... Ok next."
She stood up gracefully, brushing back her elegant, beautiful pink. Hypnotizing the other boys with her beauty.
"Pft she already has a boyfriend. Don't even bother."
Shizu said under his breath.
She glared at him after hearing what he had said, purposely knowing that he had said it loud enough for the nearby students to hear him.
She went on to continue her introduction in a concerted manner.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is-"
"Chisaka. Blah blah blah. Sit down and let the next person speak. Talking for that long took up way too much of our oxygen."
"Aikawa! Manners. Do not interrupt Miss Chisaka-San like that again. I am so sorry for her rudeness please continue-"
Chisaka moved from her seat walking behind Shizu, getting close to Aikawa's face. She too stood up out of her seat glaring back at her.
"Uh- Ladies."
Both shouted at the same time.
*Shut up*
"Ugh, we'll be behind now... If this continues."
Chisaka placed her arms underneath her chest as if she were flaunting and boasting, compared to her.
"Aikawa, I don't know what your problem is, but I'd appreciate it if you would drop whatever it is that is bothering you and move on, stop being such a whiny bitch about it. Can it be Hano? The man who is head over heels for me and not you! Ah haha."
"Tch! You know I'm really getting tired of your huge ego and saggy rack. Maybe I'll put you in your place right about now!?"
"You two stop this, it's pointless. I bet If Hano were here you two would act differently."
*You shut up too Kyde, no one is talking to you! *
"... What a pain these girls are, sorry Sensei I tried."
Yet another voice came from the far end of the class who sounded pissed about their argument. He stood up out of his seat and walked over to them. Aikawa took this opportunity as she noticed that Chisaka was looking away from her and at the guy with long messy blond hair heading their way.
"Name is Noritaka Takao. The strongest here!"
Clenching her right fist, she goes for the open opportunity.
The boy took a step forward, dashing in front of Aikawa reaching his arm out to catch her hand to protect Chisaka from getting injured. That wasn't the case; his arm stopped mid-way along with Aikawa. Chisaka was frozen by what she witnessed, no one was able to notice him move that fast let alone hear anything.
*Yawn*
Shizu leaned his head back to look at all of what was going on. While he held onto her fist and Takao's arm.
"All of you sit down and shut the hell up. I bet we're behind every other class now in this tournament. Did you not hear him say earlier that it began? We haven't even finished the introductions! Now if you don't mind, let's get the teams and move on from there. Got it?!"
He let go of Aikawa's hand and Takao jerked his arm back breaking from his grip.
An unknown guy in the class with a soft voice started to mess with his headphones around his head, adjusting the circle piece that covered his ear.
"Man, you're all so loud... Can we just finish..."
They all went back to their seats and allowed the other students to finish introducing themselves.
"My name is Ando Kyde, it's a pleasure to meet you guys. I am a member of the student council and I'm eager to see what you guys can display."
Soon everyone finished and the teacher was able to read off the Stars for each student and inform them who their partner would be.
"Finally, we managed to get through that. Now I will list off all your Stars, what you all may have hopefully been waiting for? Seeing what the competition is going to be like amongst your classmates, fun, then when I'm finished, I will announce the teams."

"Are you serious right now! That boy is a 2 Star! Seeing and matching my speed with his shit strength! Shizu! You're a dead man! You will be my first opponent!"
"... Whatever."
*...*
"Hold on now."
Taku said.
"Shizu isn't going to lose to you, I'm the one who will kick his ass and come out on top. So, if you're threatening him, deal with me 'cause he's, my prey."
"A Fujiki, was it? Almost forgot. You don't realize who I am! The strongest here and I have the highest Star number among all of us! Get that through your thick head! You may be a part of that family, but I'll gladly prove to the world our bloodline is stronger."
"A dead clan deserves to stay dead!"
"I guess taking you two down won't be a problem for me, heh bring it on. Can't wait to see the faces you two will make when I win!"
The teacher cleared his throat, getting the class's attention once more.
"Now that's out of the way. You will now know who your teammate is. And I do not want to hear any complaints about who you're with, understand."
He began to pace back and forth with a slip of paper in his hand. The tone in his voice quickly changed from laid back, slightly sluggish, to serious.
"The moment my mouth closes, it will begin. Remember that and don't die. Understand."

"Are you kidding me! I must be stuck with pinky?!"
"The feeling is mutual."
"Daichi, that's a win!"
"Key girl, you better not hold me back from whooping this, Fujiki! Got it!"
"Uh... I got placed with one of the loud ones... This is going to be tiresome."
"Cool down. You're lucky to be on the winning side!"
"End."
The Teacher clapped his hands, and the entire room began to phase away and everyone disappeared. And re-appeared all scattered with their group of two in the middle of an ancient desert that had a ruin in the far distance indicating where they should go.
"You should be able to hear me for this brief moment. The test of endurance and the rules are simple. Don't die and find a way out. Understood, good luck.
The sound of his voice vanished from everyone's thoughts. The teacher had been watching from somewhere else with the ability of a Star along with two other Teachers.
"Let's see who is ready?"
