Candle: Splatoon Manga AU:

Chapter #3

1st Person:

I headed inside of the classroom and took the only available seat, the front and center..

wow.. just great..

Apparently today we were gonna be working on our weapons and how to improve our aim and such. Plus a small introduction to data collection, and how a bunch of us can become, as I like to call it, "tiny army".

At least that's what he told us..

"Actually! I've changed my mind, follow me everyone!" Army said as he got everyone to follow him out the door and down the stairs to the lowest level of the building.

That's what concerned me.. just.. what was he planning??

Oh well, it's better than setting front and center in front of Army himself.. right?

-

We were led towards a small and dark arena, it almost looked like one that was meant for paintball. The human version of turf war??

A little bit of dust was coming from the ceiling.. this basement clearly wasn't in the best condition.. maybe that's how he afforded this place?

Whatever now, he handed everyone the same type of weapon, and it just so happened to be my f/w, I wonder how he picked..

"Attention! I'd like to see how you would act in combat situations, everyone, please come up, one at a time for a special 1v1!" Army announced for all of the 16 students to hear in the very echoey basement..

"ouch.." I whispered to myself under my breath, but luckily, I was last in line out of the class..

More time to mentally prepare? yay!

And I guess it's time to brace myself..

- Timeskip by Army's Manual -

Attendants after attendants followed Army to the arena and didn't come back out.. was this some sort of execution..?

I took a deep breath.. I guess it's time..

Classes were over in about 25 minutes.. and the person in front of me just got directed into the arena..

I-I'm worried..

And lastly, Army came back out and looked at me, dead in the eye.

"Y/N, follow me please.." Army said coldly.

I nodded and followed along, when he wasn't looking a tear came down the side of my eye.. and a ton of sweat too..

I'm scared..

-

The arena was really dark, but with a few lights of orange throughout the arena..

We started on opposite sides, and as soon as we started, I immediately got out of there, as he already knew where I was, right from the start.

The lights inside were changing hues from orange to red constantly.. I felt a shadow lurk over me and chase after me.

I ran behind a wall and crouched down and covered my mouth.

"Ah, Y/N, you should know better, NOBODY may outrun and hide from me. But you may try, but we know how that'd go, right Y/N?" Army said as he came around the wall pointing his NZap85 at you, ready to get a headshot.

Sweat and tears were the only things that were seen moving at the moment. You felt so overheated and overwhelmed, yet so cold too.

"Speechless? That's how I like it-." Army said before he shot your head with his NZap85 and everything went dark.
