Count: Aftermath
After that conversation with Mr. 144, I went to the washroom to process all the thoughts and stuff that had happened.
"Gahhh!!! Shit!! in the end, I wasn't able to find out anything...." I said while hitting the sink with my tightly clenched fist, I was silent for an entire minute. "Looks like they planned this shit for a long time. Everything is executed perfectly, and nobody from outside suspected any gunshot and came to check." After I washed my face I headed to the roof "Where are you heading kid?" one of those people showed up at the door to the roof, "Nothing, I was just heading there for some fresh air." the guy stood there in silence "If you doubt me that much you can come with me, I will take a stroll around the roof and go to the canteen." the man opened the door I took a stroll while the man was in the middle of the roof observing me. While I was taking my walk I saw four vans on each side of the school walls. I slowed my pace when I saw the reflection in the storeroom's window which was about 40 yards or 36.6 meters opposite where I was standing, I saw eight disc-shaped black objects sticking in between the windows of our classrooms, one for a pair of windows below and that's all I could see "One stroll around the roof is done." said the man, "aight', I'm going," I replied.
"Damn! These guys got weird tech all over the school," I thought while walking to the canteen.
While I was on my way A girl suddenly tripped on the ground floor, went to check her out. She was out, lying flat, unconscious, so I gave some soft slaps on her cheeks to wake her up. "Mmm... le' me leep hum mol (let me sleep some more)" she mumbled. After hearing that I did what any mom with a troublesome child would do... *THAAAP!!* I slapped the shit out of her no doubt it worked on her, she woke up and started apologizing for no reason "Sorry won't sleep again sorry I won't sleep again sorry-" *thap* this time I slapped not that hard and said, "Get back to your senses.", "Oo that's right our school was hijacked we had no classes," she said. "Anyway, who are you and why did you trip?" I asked, and she replied with questioning herself in a confused and drowsy tone about why she felt so exhausted and groggy, and questioned herself if the medication she took was hers and soon drifted off to sleep. "Great imma have to carry her to canteen now shit... But why in the fuckn' hell does a student need sleeping pills?".
Canteen: -
I carried her all the way dropped her on one of the chairs.
I looked around standing still all the guys were looking at me as if I was the Armageddon and they couldn't do absolute shit but just look at me. "Less goo free food in the canteen gang!!" I tried to lighten up the mood there nobody spoke a word. I couldn't handle the awkward silence, so I sat alone near the corner munching on some sweet buns from the canteen while pondering why the fuck did I have to be so cheesy back there.
10 minutes after I finished eating: -
Nishi approaches me "it sure is gray in here" Nishi strikes a conversation with me "Well it should be expected after witnessing all that.", Nishi and I are pretty close, and he is one of the few people I regularly talk to and wouldn't mind spending my free time with. "But damn, it looks like no one from class 2-C passed, and also it seems that no one has seen anyone from 1-G, it's almost as if they never came to school." Nishi continues the conversation with me "Really?... *Looks around* damn now that you mention it.", "I know right shits crazy bad right now" Nishi commented on the current situation. I took a long glance once again while sitting at my place, "Why are there only 84 people present here? Aren't there supposed to be like 95 if we took out class 2-C and 1-G?" I asked Nishi
"Remember the girl you carried here?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well apparently she is one of 2 people who passed the game, and they are from class 1-D."
"What about the other eight?"
"Well about them... three guys were shot, they were from 2-E, 3-A, 3-B. Cause of their death was that they were caught escaping and tried resisting, two are from class 2-G who were part of those who failed, one guy from class 1-C died from shock or something after witnessing the deaths of those three, the final two who were from 2-F actually managed to escape it seems, which means we will probably get rescued in a half an hour or so."
We both remained silent for 2 whole minutes
Suddenly we could hear the distant scream coming the direction where the stage room is located. Everyone in the canteen tried running toward the direction except that girl who is still sleeping. *BANG!* A bullet was shot on the floor couple of centimeters away from the guy's foot who was leading the group, they all stopped in unity, a figure was walking towards the entrance on the canteen from the right side of the Entrance/Exit door.
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
"YOHO!!! it's me AGAINNNN!!~" Mr. 144 popped up from the corner, "Follow me." he said.
Everyone followed him meanwhile Nishi was waiting for me while I went to pick that sleeping girl up.
As I approached her " Kyo-kun, we will handle her." said a feminine voice behind me, it was none other than Aoki-san and beside her is Furukawa senpai, "Oh, ok I will leave her to you guys".
I walk towards Nishi "Oi, let's go"
As we were walking towards the way Mr. 144 is directing us Nishi strikes a conversation.
"Won't you talk to him?" asked Nishi, "Who?" I replied, "Huh fuck you mean "who?"!!!!!???! Nishi said calmly, "You clearly know who I am talking about." Nishi stated, "Nah I am serious who?" I replied. "Huh! seriously? I'm takin' bout' Kuroda Aki from 2-B, your best pal?" Nishi said, "Ahh ohh him? leave him be, in this state it's better to leave him alone or he is gonna fukn break down" I replied, "Hmmm..." Nishi grasped.
Kuroda Aki, class 2-B he was my childhood friend, he still is but we don't talk as often as we used to due to the different classes we were put in ever since we started high school, he has a strong heart but emotionally sensitive, but never underestimate his mental strength and stamina, once he gets serious bro is crazy to the point he will do anything to achieve his goal and also the only one who can rival Isa Tatsuo in terms doing crazy shit to achieve whatever they want. Pretty crazy dudes if you ask me.
Still walking to the place Mr. 144 is taking us to: -
"What do you think those screams might be senpai?" a voice of a kid said behind me *Thudh* slaps my back and jumps in front of me "what'd ya think?" said the boy again with a sense of curiosity "What do you think?" I replied to him with a question "I don't know, it might those guys breaking the bones of those who failed hehe!~" said the boy with a smile on his face and then ran off to the front to that 144 piece of shit going to ask the same question, "I do not know maybe you are soon going to find maybe you are not." Mr. 144 replied to the kid.
"Do you know him?" I asked Nishi, "It definitely wasn't one of the second-year students, if I remember correctly." Nishi replied, "Never knew psychopathic shits like those exists in real life too." I stated, "Same here." Nishi replied.
We all stopped at the entrance of the library.
"Kyo-Kun do you have any idea on why she is sleeping like a bear in winter?" Furukawa senpai asked, "She t-", "sleeping pills." my answer was interrupted by a girl.
"And you are?" Furukawa asked, "It's Jin, Jin Umi." the girl replied, "Any idea on why she took those?" asked Furukawa, "I do not kn-" her answer was interrupted by Mr. 144 "please do let yourselves in.", the group entered without any second thoughts. I went near 144 "Delay our next game she is out cold." I said to him, "Oh! you need not to worry about that my team has already arranged the necessities a while ago."
And finally, I was the last one to enter the library.
This passage has a few areas that can be improved for clarity, grammar, and flow. Here's a revised version:
"Looks like they have surveillance outside the school too. This is bad," I thought to myself as I walked in search of a seat to make myself comfortable. However, it seems I won't need to search for long. They've rearranged the library layout so that all 100 of us can easily find a spot.
Our library is quite spacious, rectangular in shape, and at the far end, there's another room about half its size that serves as an internet café where students occasionally take printouts. It seems they've crammed most of the bookshelves into that room to make space for seating.
The remaining shelves divide the library vertically in half, leaving a wide walkway in between. Due to limited space at the back, the seating is arranged just like in our classroom—rows of chairs all facing the same direction. The only difference is that there are no desks, just the chairs.
I still ended up taking an entire lap around the library and eventually found myself sitting near the entrance, which is on the right side of the triangle, close to the upper-right corner.
Two dudes with that military grade equipment bring in a large canvas and a projector on Mr. 144's command and then place them in the best suitable places, then they close windows and then they darken the room by closing the blinds.
Mr. 144 starts the projector, inserts a USB stick kind of looking thing to it and projects the content on the canvas.

The room was now filled with silence.

"It can't be... they should've escaped... WHATS THE MEANING OF THIS?! DID THEY REALLY DIE?!!!!" Aki yelled with a slight tremble in his voice hinting his fear, "you mean the ones who tried to escape? Yes, unfortunately they did indeed die in a terrible accident before they could report the situation to the police." said Mr. 144 while also stating "It's unfortunate not because they died, it's because they never even had the chance to meet the police, yet they died trying. Very disappointing end to their lives." and ending it with a deep sigh.
"It was indeed disappointing, but could you tell me when this hell hole of a shit show is going to END ALREADY!!" Isa Tatsuo yelled.
"Shhhut... up.... Just play the damn game boy."
"Aaah shit, this situation keeps getting more terrifying as the time goes by and it seems I could piss any moment if this keeps up. Oh God, just kill those pieces of shit with your divine intervention already." I thought to myself.
"ANYWAY. It looks like everyone here is physically fit and up..." Mr. 144 glanced at the girl who was sleeping. "Maybe not up, but you all did pretty well for your first round. And you might have realized why you are all here and not out there..." He paused briefly, letting the silence stay for a bit before speaking again "Anyone?"
The room was once again filled with silence, for what seems to be a pretty long time.
Aoki Arisu stood up "It's because we are better than them." she said.
"You are indeed right, but do you have any idea on where this will lead you to in the games?" Asked Mr. 144.
She did have a bit of a superiority complex, but I didn't expect her to be the first one to answer.
"More trauma and graphic memories," she replied.
"Hmm, "more trauma and graphic memories", more trauma and graphic memories indeed," Mr. 144 mumbled to himself.
"It is about time I tell you the next phase of the game. Fair warning before we move on do not lose yourselves, it may lead to your own demise if you do." Warned Mr. 144
