"Much better."

The same voice from earlier muttered - a sense of irritation evident in it. The students shared a confused glance at each other, trying to find where the person who spoke - Yu Kangho - stood.

That was when the lights suddenly went out, filling the place with nothing but darkness. Amidst the darkness shone a beam of white light, directed at one spot. In the spotlight appeared Kangho, standing with his arms loosely held behind his back. Kangho wore the same black tuxedo as the men at the entrance. He even wore the mask, except that his mask was gold in colour rather than white.

The students turned their heads in unison in the direction of the spotlight, recognizing the person who stood in it in an instant despite him wearing the mask. Anticipation filled their faces as they looked at Kangho who looked like he was about to say something. Kangho scanned the place, his eyes falling on each and every one present there.

Then he spoke.

"Everybody is here."

He paused, a smirk tugging the corner of his lips.

"I'm pleased."

You - Y/N - cocked your brow at Kangho's words, simply staring at him in silence. The students began to get impatient already. The annoyance they felt from the interruption was written vividly on their faces.

Kangho noticed it as he began.

"Each year a selective group of students are invited to this once in a year soiree which had been the epitome of opulence, sophistication and fortune for decades. Only the lucky ones get to experience this exclusive event. This year, you people appear to be the lucky batch."

A grin left his lips as he resumed.

"It is time that I welcome you, the students of Varen and LeQuins, to the two hundred and twenty fourth end-of-year party. You may now applaud."

He ended his statement. The students neutrally clapped their hands. Neither were they disinterested nor interested.

As the applause calmed down, Kangho stepped up again to speak.

"This isn't like your usual parties that are filled with DJs, alcohol and cigarettes."

Kangho looked around.

"According to our tradition, a series of tasks will be held to test you in various aspects."

Tasks?

The students glanced at each other. Commotion evoked.

"This is ridiculous. I did not sign up for a test."
