A Game of Murder

Chapter 2 - Starting?

"Would you like to play a game of Murder?"

The students in front of him blinked in confusion. Ozpin took another sip from his mug, hiding a smirk that was filled with mischievous intentions.

A game of murder?

Are they going to kill each other?

What is the headmaster planning?

Each one of the students were deep in thought, pondering over the head master's words.

Ozpin merely chuckled, "I can see your confusion, but worry not, you will not be killing each other."

Relief filled their eyes, but oh no, Ozpin is not done yet.

"But you will be stabbing and shooting each other." he so helpfully supplied.

....

"WHAT?!!?" almost all of them shouted.

"No!!! I'm too handsome to die!" Neptune wailed.

"I don't even have a lover yet!!" Scarlet wailed beside Neptune, both of them clinging to each other in an embrace.

"Same here!!"

"I have so much to live for!!" Sun shouted, falling to his knees in sorrow.

Sage only stared at his wailing teammates in disappointment and embarrassment, did they not hear Ozpin say that they will not be 'killing' each other?

Well, there were some others that thought the same with their own teammates.

"Oooh, if we're gonna stab and shoot each other, wouldn't we die from blood loss?" Ruby tilted her head to the side as she said that.

Weiss did a face-palm, no doubt feeling a little irritated. "Ruby, you dolt, we aren't killing each other for extra credit!"

"But you said that we should always do the extreme for extra credit?" Ruby innocently said.

".. Erk!" Weiss's figure went stiff when her own rules were sent right back at her. "K-killing is not allowed as extra credit!!" She then flailed her arms in different motions as if explaining something to a toddler.

Yang snickered, "Looks like Weiss cream is having a hard time." she leaned back on her leg with her hands behind her head.

"Excellent," Blake didn't even take a glance towards her partner. "Now I can stab you with all the frustrations you've given me over the past months."

"Eh?" Yang blinked, did she really give Blake a hard time? She gave a look of pure confusion towards Blake. "Are you joking?" she really wished she is.

"Does it look like I'm joking?" Blake deadpanned. And no, she does not look like she is making a joke out of stabbing someone.

Yang gulped, feeling the hairs on the back of her neck stand; for some reason, she feels the need to apologize. "Um... I'm sorry?"

Blake hid a smile as she turned and flicked Yang's forehead, causing a red spot/bump to appear on the blonde's forehead. "Saying 'I'm sorry' is Pyrrha's catchphrase, don't take it from her."

"I'm sorry?"

Another flick.

"Again, don't take Pyrrha's catchphrase."

Yang gave a grin, giving a one finger gun towards Blake. "Duely noted."

On the other side of the room stood CFVY, they were rather stotic as they stood tall, not even worried for what the headmaster planned. But that was a facade, they were speaking with their minds.
