~~ Start ~~

The exam started. All students that were almost 200 students rushed to the huge maze. All ran as fast as they could but stopped when a huge rock suddenly rolled. It was nearing them. They had to make a detour, or else they would be crushed.

All of those continued. There are so many unimaginable things, so many bomb drops, they almost couldn't take it. From huge rocks, locked doors, passwords, wall climbing, wolf dogs, electrocute, and many more. It was like the maze was trying to torture them.

And so, one by one, the 100-plus students started to decrease. From 100 plus to 100 to less than a hundred until there were only 10 students standing, it was showing on the huge tv screen. They were... Ayanokoji, Ichinose, Koenji, Ryuen, Ibuki, Kei, Kushida, Sudo, Kanzaki, and... who was the last one...? They could only see 9. Themselves and three others, so then... why was it flashing 10...?

Then, all of a sudden, they heard a high-pitched scream. It was the last one, but who?

The person slowly walked to them, clutching her bruised left hand. It was none other than Suzune Horikita.

Ichinose snickered seeing the battered Suzune, She was definitely crushing her today.

The moment Ibuki saw her friend, she immediately went rushing to help her.

Ibuki: What happened to you, dummy!?

Suzune: Well, as you can see, Ms. Potty Mouth. My left hand is sprained.

Ibuki rolled her eyes and led them both to the center where the others were standing.

As soon as all 10 of them were close to each other, the ground shook. Walls were slowly going up, creating a huge white room of sort. It had rooms here and there. It was still a maze inside.

A robotic voice coming from the tv was heard. "You will be given 3 minutes to hide, get rest, or get what you need for your... interaction... with each other. Remember. The building will not collapse until only one is left. Your 3 minutes start now."

Koenji: Yo Feisty Princess, do you need me to come with you?

Ryuen: Not so fast, Blondie! Kukuku, I have been wondering how good your abilities are! Let's see who will win between the both of us later! Kukuku!

Suzune: It's okay, Koenji. You can go and prepare yourself. I can manage myself.

Koenji: Very well... we shall cross paths later, dragon-boy!

With that, all nine of them did what they thought they'll need.

The 3 minutes ended, and the 10 people started to pull each other down.

Sudo fought Kanzaki, and he obviously won. His luck ran out as quickly when Ryuen ambushed him. Sending a jab across his stomach. It made Sudo unconscious.

Kushida saw Kei and Ibuki fighting. She knew it was not Ibuki's choice to bring their friend down, but this was the last exam, and they needed to win. Kushida joined Kei, who was obviously losing, and passed out almost immediately when she saw Kushida.
While Kushida catched her friend, she did not notice Ibuki coming to her back and muttering a Sorry before she chopped her neck, causing Kushida to also be unconscious.

Ichinose was first to attack Suzune. Terribly underestimating her abilities in martial arts even when injured. Ichinose was on the ground as fast as she attacked Suzune. To Suzune's demise, there were two people lurking around the corner. It was Koenji and Ibuki. They both pounced on her. Suzune knew she could not win against them. Not when it was 2 unscathed people against her who was beaten up. She ran till she reached a room and hid there.
