The summer season ended, and now it's fall. I enjoyed the sea breeze from the ocean as i walk to school. It's probably the most enjoyable moment in my usual day.
My name is Takasaki Ryuuto, age 15 and now in my 2nd year highschool. I attend at Kitazawa Academy, one of the top schools here in our area.
I'm part of the student council as the vice president, so my school days are pretty busy.
My dream is to be a successful businessman, and i'm definitely going to reach it.
Even though i'm attending at a top school, we are just poor. That's because Kitazawa Academy focused on grades, and so i admitted.
My late father worked as a policeman in Tokyo 10 years ago, according to my mother. However, he was shot while working. My mother collapsed at the time due to mental fatigue.
And now, my mother is bedridden, so i'm taking care of her. I worked at many part time jobs to feed me and my mother.
I have an older sister, but she rebelled in highschool when our father died. That's also one reason mom collapsed at that time. If my sister didn't rebelled against mom, by now i think she can at least walk. And now, my sister lives in Tokyo happily, while me and mom are suffering here.
I don't have a grudge against my sister, but she can at least help our mom because she's still mom's daughter who gave life on her.
Back then, i don't have enough strength to protect my family. I barely even remember father.
But now, i swear i'm gonna give my mother a peaceful and satisfying life!
That said, i need to work hard and study. Being a part of school council maybe tiring, but at least i enjoyed it.
And that's when a huge tragedy happened that will change not only my own life, but my whole schoolmates.
....
"Goodmorning, Ryuu-kun!"
A blonde haired girl with G-Cups size and thicc thighs, silver piercing on both ears, and wearing a short skirt that barely passed the rules appeared before me.
She's my childhood friend Nakami Nina, a gal and part of the student council.
"Nina! Did president told you that you need to properly dress as a student? The reputation of the student council's name will be tarnished because of you, you know."
"I know, geez. You and Mi-chan are so strict!" She said while grinning.
I miss the innocent Nina when we are kids. We sometimes play normally. That changed when my family needs to go to Tokyo for like 3 years. In that time, Nina became a gal.
"Sigh... anyways, you need to change your skirts or the discipline committee will come and lecture you."
"Argh... i hate lecture..."
Nina goes to the nearest bathroom. Meanwhile the bell rang and the classes are starting shortly.
...
After a long discussion in math, it's finally lunchtime. I was sitting at the student council room and eating. The cafeteria is so hot, while this room is air-conditioned. I've always come here to eat.
"Here." An elegant girl with long eyelashes and a purple haired girl came to me and came me a tea. She's the student council president, Amamiya Mia.
"Thanks." I sipped the tea she gave me. I liked it since it gaves me a calming aroma.
"Are you not gonna eat?" I asked her. She scratched her head then answered: "Those bastard from basketball club asked for more club funds. But one of it's members brought a dirty magazine on school."
"What's the connect of bringing dirty mags at school?"
"Of course! They used the club funds to buy them! Those bastards!" She slammed the desk with her fist.
I sighed. This is the common scene here in the student council room. Mia is so strict than any parents in the asia.
"Anyways, calm do-"
"...!"
"What?"
My vision changed to my classroom. For some reason, all of my classmates are here too, even though it's still lunch break.
Wait, what am i doing here too? Am i supposed to be in the student council room right now?
The class are now confused.
"Why are we here?"
"I'm in the cafeteria just earlier!"
"I'm in the courtyard too!"
Everyone panicked, and the sudden teleportation(?) caused an uproar. And that's when...
"""ATTENTION"""
The broadcaster said. The classroom silenced and looked at the speaker in the room.
"""Welcome to the Game of the Students! You can call me "General""""
The students got confused, including me. What is this "Game of the Student" he's talking about?"
"""All of you can't tell, but this isn't your classroom, but another dimension. You will be forcing to participate in the game, or you will die."""
"""This game is originated from the filipino board game called 'Game of the General'. All of you will given a position and fight other participants and kill them. The losing team will all die and their existence will be erased in the world. The winning team will go to another round. Details will be announced in 30 minutes. Don't do anything unnecessary. That's all."""
The announcement stopped. All of us are shocked, but some of them brushed it off.
"Hahahaha! Who's idiot that will believe those words? Game? Killing? That's bullshit!" Takanori said, one of our classmates.
"Hey! Don't do anything unnecessary! What if you really die?!" Haruno said. She's the representative of our class.
Some of our classmates just laughed, ignoring Haruno.
"Hahahaha! That's really funny!" Takanori said. He walked to the door and opened it.
"See? I can just leave throu-"
All of us are in silenced. The moment Takanori stepped out of the room, his head splits from it's torso, and his body's nowhere to be found.
"KYAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
All of the students panicked. Some of them also tried to get out of the room, but all of them also died. Some hid under the desk, but few are calm in the situation.
"Stop panicking!" Haruno shouted. All of students stopped moving and looked at Haruno.
"Did the guy called himself 'General' said that don't do anything unnecessary? So if you all stop, nothing will happen, isn't it? We should calm down and wait."
Some of the panicking students calmed down. Those who's calm from the start started talking.
"You guys are truly idiots. If you didn't calmed down and tried to escape, you will be dead right now. I feel an unpleasant aura outside the room. And some of you guys got teleported here, is that an evidence that this is truly a death game?" Kimiko Arize said. He's an otaku, but he's one of the top students in class.
"All we can do is wait. The General will give another announcement in 30 minutes, so calm down." I said.
We managed to calm all students down. The class consist of 45 students, but now it's down to 20 students. 25 in total all died.
....
30 minutes passed, and a voice pop up.
"""Hello again, fellow students. Looks like you're down to 20 numbers, huh? Anyways, i will explain the rule of the game."""
"""There are two ways to win the game. Eliminate the flag or get your own flag to the enemy's base. You will be given random position of the game. The ascending order is: Flag - Private - Sergent - 2nd Lieutenant - 1st Lieutenant - Captain - Major - Lieutenant Colonel - Colonel - 1 Star General - 2 Star General - 3 Star General - 4 Star General - 5 Star General - Spy - Private."""
"""In other words, the Spy can beat all of position except Private, and Private can only beat spy. That is the position."""
"""If someone dies, all of the students will notified. It's up to you to reveal the enemy's position. Defeat the enemy by killing them and reaching their health to zero. However, if you killed the one with higher position than you, you will die instead and that person will gain his health to normal. That concludes the rules and regulation."""
"""We are now proceeding to the round 1. This is the match: Class A to Class D, Class B to Class C, and Class E to Class F. The first battle is between Class E to Class F, and the venue will be called Intramuros, one of the historical places in the Philippines. The battle will start in 1 hour, and the time limit is 1 day. Interlude starts now."""
