Once everyone in the class made their way to the rift, Mr. Callon, stopped in front of the rift and turned around facing the class all grouped up
The rift had recently appeared in a forest, near the school. It is currently closed off to the public, as Ren [the Headmaster] quickly bought the land, as soon as it was announced, giving a chance for the school to own a personal rift. The forest is rarely entered by many people, so the forest wasn’t entirely explored, however, a path was made which led to a clearing, which is where the rift is placed at. The path is located at the back of the school, closed off by a fence and a gate. Only those with school access are allowed to bring people into the rift, people such as teachers.
“Ahem,” Mr.Callon said as he cleared his throat, “As you may know this is one of the many rifts in the world,” he said in a monotonous voice
“This rift is correctly undiscovered, hence you see its color as white since its color is white, it is recommended that you go in parties of 4, however, if you choose to solo it, you may,” he said
“So start forming your parties,” he said, “You have 5 minutes to do so, now go”
Everyone started to form groups quickly, as it seems that everyone had already been together previously, unfortunately, Yami was the only one, who wasn’t accepted or invited to a party, as he was in a bet with Tena as they didn’t want to be involved in it.
“Are you all at your parties?” Mr.Callon said, looking around to see if everyone formed their parties, which everyone did except Yami, but he ignored the fact that Yami is soloing, “Good”
“Now let’s start, who wants to be the first person to go into the unexplored rift?” Mr.Callon said looking around once again to see if any person raised their hand or spoke up
“Ok then, if no one is going to volunteer themselves, then I will pic-” Mr. Callon was then interrupted by Yami
“I will go then!” Yami declared, raising his hand up at the same time, to indicate that he was the one that would volunteer
“Ok then, Yami come up then,” Mr. Callon said as he looked at his clipboard and started to write in it, while he waits for Yami to come out from the group of students
Once Yami came out of the crowd, Mr. Callon asked, “Where is your party?”, “I don’t have one” Yami replied
“Then are you sure you want to go in first?” Mr.Callon said
“Yes! This is my first time going into a rift, so I thought it would be fun!” Yami said with determination
“What?! This is his first time going into a rift?”, “Then is going to close the bet”, “This idiot” people started to murmur many things
“Ok then, I guess if you want to go in solo and blind, then I won’t stop you, it will be your loss anyway,” Mr. Callon said with no concern for Yami
“Before you enter, you should pick out a weapon from the rack” he added as he pointed to his right, showing a rack of many weapons
“Um, is it ok for me to bring my personal equipment,” Yami asked, as he took his knife, pistol, and sword, which is now wrapped in bandages, off his body and showing it to Mr.Callon, which Mr.Callon started to inspect the weapons
“I don’t think you are all-” Mr. Callon was then interrupted once again, but this time by Ren
“I will allow it!” Ren said as she appeared into the scene from the pathway
“What?!” the students whispered, “The headmaster here!”
“I bet she is here to see our skills,” some people said
“We better do good, so that we can get ourselves a secure path to the DRC” others whispered
“Headmaster, what are you doing here,” Mr. Callon asked, ignoring the whispering that was going around the class
“I’m just here to watch to see, how you guys are doing right now, and I am hoping to see excellent results from someone,” she said as she took a glance at Yami
“*gasp*, did you hear that, I might be able to get a sure-fire way in getting into DSC,” someone said

Everyone started to get hyped, and thus wanted to go next
“I call next to go into the rift!” a party declared
“No we will” another party argued
“What are you talking about, we, people of royalty, should go first” a party declared as appeared from the pathway with smug looks on their faces
“Tch, the student council is here” one murmured
The royals are a group of people that have made high achievements for the school, granting them school access to wherever they wanted and usually consisted of those in high authority in the social class(the wealthy), whenever they wanted and coincidentally, the current royals of the school are those of the student council. Council members are notorious for being strict with rules and codes in the school and with the power of the royals, they were basically the student bosses of the school. Originally, the royals and student council were 2 different roles when Ren made the school, but due to the fine achievements that the student council has made, she changed it, allowing those in the student council to be royal, thus being called the Royal Student Council.
As the student council approached the clearing, the class started to make way for them to get through, they didn't get punished by facing both the wrath of the royals as well as the student council’s authority. After the student council made their way past the class, they were stopped by Yami, who didn’t move and was confused about what was going on as he was never filled in on the school’s system of power.
“He is so screwed now,” someone murmured
“Why are you standing here, move,” someone said, “Do you know who we are?” he added
“Nope” Yami replied nonchalantly
“Well to fill you in, we are the student council and I am their secretary,” the secretary said
“And this is the treasurer,” pointing at the shortest girl in the group, who seemed to carry no emotion, “This is the vice president,” he said pointing at the handsome tall man, who was very smart-looking as he pushed his glasses up,” and lastly is she is the president” pointing at the woman in the center of the group, she was elegant and had had even proportions in all part of her body, being mature and maintaining a straight face.
“Now that you know who we are, move along now, we are going to into the rift first,” he said, doing a shoo-ing gesture towards Yami
“Nope,” Yami said, “You should wait after I am done, I was the one to volunteer after all”
This triggered the secretary, “Why you…!” he said as he clutched his fists tightly, “TAKE THIS!” he said as he pulled a sword out of thin air, and sliced Yami
“Welp, there goes another person,” someone from the class said
“Heh, that will teach you,” he said chuckling in satisfaction
“Teach me what?” Yami said as he was grabbing the sword using the tips of his fingers
“W-w-what” the secretary stuttered, surprised to see his attack get blocked by 3 fingers, getting more mad, he pulled out another sword from thin air and used it to rapidly slice Yami and continued doing so.
After a couple of minutes of slashing, the secretary then jumped high into the air, at the height of trees, and started to slash the air, and due to the amount of speed that was added to the swing, causing large amounts of wind to be hurled at Yami, creating a big explosion with each impact
“Take some of my air slashes,” he said, “How was that” smirking
“You certainly did a lot of damage,” the treasurer said, calculating the damages
“So broken ground, fallen trees, and an injured person, that is a couple thousand,” she said as she tossed her calculator away to her side
“Yeah, that was a lot of damage,” Yami said behind the secretary, who was still in mid-air
“Wha-, how is that possible?! I swore that I hit you with that attack” secretary said, turning his head to look at Yami, who was still behind him
“Oh hey, would you look at that my afterimage” Yami pointing at the spot where the secretary slashed at as well as where Yami’s afterimage was, before disappearing
After both Yami and the secretary landed on the ground, the secretary immediately retreated back into his group, everyone was shocked at what they have witnessed
“So was this lesson to teach me that?” Yami asked
“No!” the secretary said in reply, “The lesson is canceled, now GO!” shooing Yami away from the group while crouching and hiding behind the treasurer, who was looking behind her back looking at the secretary. However, the treasurer decided to turn around to face the secretary and gave the secretary a piece of paper, cupped both of his hands after while looking at the secretary’s eyes
“Treasurer…” the secretary said looking back at treasurer, who smiled a little [The treasurer, smiling was just his imagination]
“My day has come, everyone!” he declared standing up
“As of today, Mei has finally, FINALLY accepted my proposal!” he declared cheering for himself, jumping up and down in excitement, waving the piece of paper in his hand
This story between Mei and the secretary goes back for some time, but to keep things short. The secretary is in love with Mei, and in many attempts to get her affection, he has sent her many pieces of paper, with words written like, “Do you love me?”, “Do you accept my confession?” as well as several speeches of love. and all of them ended with a Yes or No Checkbox, but of course Mai, never sent them back, and currently, the secretary sent another one, just earlier this morning.
“What are you talking about” Mei, the treasurer said
“What ‘accepting your proposal’ are you talking about?” Mei said in confusion, slightly tilting her head to help better express herself
“Then what is this piece of paper for,” the secretary said showing Mei the piece of paper
“Oh, then why don’t you take a look” she replied
The secretary then quickly opened up the piece of paper, and it was revealed not to be one of his letters, but a fine.
“What is this,” the secretary said, showing the fine in his hand
“That is your fine for damaging school property,” she said, pointing at the patch of disfigured ground
“NOOOOOOO” secretary shouted at the top of this lungs
“Must have been tough to receive a big fine,” Yami thought
“And I thought I received your affection, but instead I got this cheap fine,” he said as he stuffed it in his pocket in defeat
“Cheap?!” Yami said, “Wasn’t the damage a couple thousand?”
The secretary then looked at Yami, and angrily shouted, “I will make sure you will regret what has happened today” pointing at him and then started stomping away back out of the forest. Then one-by-one each member started to leave as well, first the treasurer, then the vice president, and lastly the president, who approached Yami before leaving and leaned forward towards his ear and murmured, “I am looking forward to seeing you more *giggle*”, in which Yami then felt a disturbing pressure being pressed onto him for a moment, but stopped as the president got back up and left the premise
After the departure of the student council, Mr.Callon started to speak,” Ok now, with that over, let’s get started with the rift”
“Yami, are you ready?” Mr. Callon asked looking at Yami, who was staring off into the distance, shocked to have felt the disturbing pressure
“Huh? Oh yeah, I am ready!” Yami said as he walked immediately walked up in front of the new rift
“Whenever you are ready, you may proceed,” Mr. Callon said and with that Yami jumped straight into the rift solo
