Before 'It' Started

Giovanni left the room, leaving Kai all alone in the empty classroom. He has more duties to do as he is the vice-president of the student council unlike an ordinary student like Kai.

As soon as he left, a long (kiseru) pipe appeared in Kai's right hand. Smoke began to escape from its bowl.

Kai dropped her carefree look as if it is just putting away a mask. Her eyes are slanted as she sat down on a teacher's table. She put her lips on the pipe's mouthpiece and began to smoke.

She has completely thrown away the carefree student she was. Anyone who saw her would be shocked.

The person in front of them has this completely matured yet cold aura surrounding her. Her lips were slightly smiling as if she was only playing with you. Yet her eyes gave a bored and lost yet unapproachable aura. Along with the pipe in her hand, anyone would bet that the woman in front of them is at her mid-twenties rather than correctly guessing her right age.

But even though with that, Kai still look youthful even though she has this matured side of hers.

Even though Giovanni has left, no before they entered here, she has already put a sound-proof barrier, stronger and at the same time, unnoticed by anyone.

It was quite pitiful that she has to nurture her powers again all over to the beginning. If she were to have her former might, she doesn't even have to go through to all of that and just directly brainwash him. Though it is a lowly spell, it is enough to handle a small fry like him.

A cloud of smoke escapes from Kai's mouth. She only has one month left before they appeared.

Before they appear, she has to set everything in stone.

Day or night, she has a lot of things to do.

Rests like this is something that is hard to pass by.

That's why she has to be prepared. Before they come, before the game will start.

Another cloud of smoke escapes from her lips. She's stressed already and she will be more stressed when everything has begun.

Her eyes swept at a nearby window. Students outside where playing underneath the sun in the court. She stands up and walks near the window. Students won't even see her because of the barrier she put up. Anyone outside won't see her.

Kai's eyes swept through the students outside as she slowly leans her head to the window.

There were a few reincarnated people outside. And each of them has a heavy impact of affecting and changing the course of the game.

What a pain...

For her, who has lived for a long time, being together with these children is such a pain for an adult like her. She, who has experienced a hellish life, is thrown once again in a peaceful yet idiotic life.

But... this will be the last time I will see them...

It was kind of nostalgic to see them again. Last time, she saw them, they all died in cruel ways, especially to those who deviate from the original path. She saw it all, everything. She can only cry in a corner as she saw them fight against this cruel fate.

She, too, tried to fight this cruel fate. Unfortunately, she has the cruelest ending among them. Even if she is the most stubborn person among them, she realizes that the only way to save them is to not deviate away from the plot.

Ah, poor Kai, the Witch of Death. She, who has been cursed with a cruel fate, is forced to repeat everything all over again. She really deserved the title of Death. Watching the death of her comrades, killing people with her hands, what has she done to pay all of this?

None. She has done nothing except fighting against the cruel fate.

Kai looks outside the window as she saw them fighting in a game with one another. It's almost pitiful that Kai knew many of them will die.

This reality is nothing a game.

Those, who treated this as a game and acted upon its fate, are considered lucky to be alive. But those who acted against it can only be served with a cruel life and death.

Please, to those who will act against, follow this cursed fate.

I can only wish you luck. Even I cannot do anything.

Kai's eyes are focused upon a certain youth. He was standing there with a smile, without knowing what will be the 'future' be like.

Yet out of all people, he is the only one who is true upon himself and hasn't change throughout the ending.

True to himself, true to his character.

Unfortunately, he will only die if he strayed upon his intended path.

He is one of the main characters in this game.
