Ennoshita took one last look at the invitation he had received not to far back.

The note did look similar to something Terushima would write, so he didn't have any problems with fitting in with the crowd. His only problem was his socially inept actions towards unfamiliar people. Thankfully, he knew for a fact that his love interest would be there, so he didn't mind.

He stared at the mansion doors, adjusting his golden mask and running his fingers on the soft, gray feathers standing on top of it, leaving some sparkles scattered across his finger tips.

He shoved the doors open to be greeted by several high schoolers with drinks in their hands and hors d'oeuvres littered across the counters, people stopping by every so often to grab a bite.

The second year walked in anxiously, adjusting his tie as he made his way inside. the doors immediately shut behind him, causing him to flinch slightly. As he walked past the bar, he heard a familiar voice calling his name. He made his way towards the sound and sat down in one of the few available seats.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Chika-chan!" Terushima exclaimed.

Ennoshita gave him a conflicted look before taking one more glance at the note.

Lots of love, -Yuuji

"Did...you not invite me here?" The younger said, showing his friend the note.

"No, I was invited by 'Kawa. Actually, he said the same thing to me. He was invited by Ushiwaka and didn't know what the hell was going on."

"I find it hard to believe that he'd accept an invitation from Ushiwaka, let alone Shiratorizawa in general."

"He used this party as an excuse to show off his hot body in a tux."

"Figures. He'll have desperate sluts drooling over him at any moment now"

They both exchanged a slight laugh before they heard notifications go off on their phones, the ringers eventually being signaled on every phone at the party. Ennoshita checked his phone to see a message from an unknown number.

Hello, Ennoshita Chikara #12!
I'm overjoyed by the fact that you could make it today! Unfortunately, I did not invite you nor the others to my mansion to party and get high. Rather, I invited you all here to play some games. This first level is called "lie detector." You see, you're each asked a question by a hologram that will appear and you must answer it honestly, otherwise you will be shocked by electricity. Every third lie, someone will be shocked strong enough to stop their heart! Fun, right? This is level one, so have fun!

After reading the message, he looked up at Terushima in fear. Based on the pale tint to his skin, Ennoshita could tell that the other got the same message. He looked around to see everyone getting situated in seats that had numbers carved in the back.

"What...number are you?" The ravenet questioned his friend.

"#13, you?"

"#12. Thank God were sitting next to each other..."

The two left their original seats to go sit in the ones placed in the middle of the room.

A greenish hologram appeared and ordered #1 to stand up. We all watched as Hinata cautiously stood up from his chair, his face as white as a ghost.
