“Wonderful, children. Now you all will be dropped off around the area in Tokyo where our school is. No humans will be there, but try to keep the destruction to a minimum. We will have a barrier so no one else other than us teachers and you guys will be able to enter.” They put us in a blue bus. Me and Kuro are sitting in the back. “So, Kuro, why'd you not bring your glasses?” “My glasses, yeah, I didn’t bring them because they make it hard to fight, and I just need glasses mostly for reading, and sometimes I wear them just because.” “Oh. What about these guys? Do you know anything about our competition? Do you know anything about them?” “I mean, I don’t know them personally or would call them my friends, but for the most part, they are pretty powerful and enough to give us competition, but I do think you and I can and probably will win this.” “Anyone we should watch out for?” “Uhh… not really, but if I had to say, Takashi. That dude can get angry easily. He’ll do anything to win, but not like kill you or anything. He wants everything to go his way. He won’t listen to you or me or anyone at all except his teachers probably.” The intercom on the bus goes off: “WELCOME STUDENTS! REMEMBER ME, YOUR HOST? YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY ARRIVED, SO GO HUNT SOME SCOURGES! WE WILL BE WATCHING AND KEEPING TRACK OF YOUR POINTS THROUGH DRONES!” “Did she have to do all of that? Like, damn, my ears hurt.” “Ehh, it's kind of her thing. Let's go, Ren.” We all get out of the bus. I look around and see tall buildings. Then suddenly, a pink furry animal thing with horns that's flying says, “Hello! I am Terry, your assistant. I can give you the grades of Scourges, your points, and alerts if there are Scourges nearby!” I realize every team has one. The guy with the spiky blonde hair says, “What are you waiting for, idiots? Let's go.” Takashi. “Let's go, Ren.” “Alright, Kuro.” Everyone runs in their own direction. I see something in an alleyway. “Terry, is there a Scourge in that alleyway? If so, tell me how many points it's worth.” “Yes indeed, there is a Scourge in that alleyway. It’s Grade 2 and worth 6 points.” “Kuro, I can handle it. Let's split up.” “Alright, be safe, Ren.” I head into the alleyway and I reach the end, but there's nothing there. Then a voice behind me calls out. “Am I… pretty?” I turn around and the Scourge has long hair, pink nails, sharp teeth, many eyes, and is in a dress. “Ummm… you're not my type.” It screams and says, “I WILL KILL YOUUUUUU!” “We’ll see who kills who.” She sweeps her arms. Her nails grow super long and sharp. I dodge, but one of her nails cuts my cheek. She grows her nails back and licks the blood off them. “Yummy! I want more!” This time she uses both hands. I pull out my Katana and charge at her, cutting her nails as they get close to me. She gets angry and yells, and then something knocks my Katana out of my hand. “What the hell!” It’s her hair that grows. It grabs my right hand, making it so I can’t move it, then more hair grabs my right arm and legs. I start struggling to gain control, then more hair wraps around my neck tightly, making it hard to breathe. “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!” Her nails start heading toward my face.
