#07.5: Case

AirWise


The prisoner has his first catch late in the evening

Prisoner: where are the others? the sooner this ends, the better for you, so where are they?

Genesis: I may be a fool for protesting to convince you to become a good man again, but I promise you this, I'm not a RATA, I'm never gonna sell my friends

Prisoner: ok, I mean the weather is on my side, so they'll be coming here one way or another


After the Headmaster said his speech, each class immediately go to their designated areas, the school was divided into 5 buildings, 1st building for the 3rd year students, 2nd for the 2nd years, and 3rd for the freshmen and the building from the back in the far right is the school museum and the building to the far left is the gymnasium, and there is also a not so big building from the very far back, and it's the storage area where the class F's prisoner should put them all after he captures them.

Class F interview their prisoner during lunch

Genesis: quite slim for such height, so what's your name sir?

Prisoner: ( smiles at him ) don't know, how about you tell me yours first, I'm about to die after this anyways, so, what's yours?

Mann: ( he cuts in during their conversation and accidentally told the prisoner almost everyone's name in their class before Amiya halted him )

Amiya: Are you a fool or did you lose your common sense?!

Mann: what are you even talking about, I'm just being nice, he's in death row and hell die anyways after this, feels bad man

Kazura: so you really are a fool ( smiled at him )

Ren & Kim: ( shakes their heads in disappointment due to Mann's actions )

Mann: the hell man, don't you feel bad for this man, he is still human you know if it was you who knew that you'll be dead anyways whether our headmaster honor his words or not, would you still be able to stand like him like this?

Mimi: it's bad, really bad

Mann: and now the most silent person in the room is gonna tell me what's right and wrong

Amiya: you keep saying that, how about you look to the person you retrying to defend, fool

Mann: ( look to the prisoner, and we're surprised to see that the prisoner was covering his mouth as he is enjoying the scene ) what's funny? 

Genesis: this man is a gangster, a murderer Mann, can't you see the hidden tattoos on his back, this one will lie as much as he can to get everyone's sympathy, and you just became his 1st victim

Mann: oh no, what have I just done

Amiya: what you ask? This man has some of our names thanks to you and he'll use them to lure us later like he's just catching some fishes

Genesis: well, can't do anything about that, and we just have another 15 minutes to plan, so prisoner, what's your name?

Prisoner: what are you gonna do with my name, I'm a dead man anyways like as your friend said anyways

Genesis: I'm asking so that if by chance you fail to catch us all and regret not being granted by your final wish, at least we know which grave it is we need to visit 

Prisoner: hahaha! That's new, never thought of that, and since we have almost the same hair color, I'm gonna tell you, only you, so how about you come closer so I can whisper

Genesis: ( comes closer to the prisoner and lend his ears to the man ) so what is it?

Prisoner: ( with all his might he shouted ) it's me, Kotaro Yamahen!!!

All of them in the gymnasium heard him, the Prison guards then beat him to the ground until Genesis halted them

Genesis: ( he smiles at Kotaro ) Good Luck to you then Mr. Kotaro Yamahen


And after the 1-hour allowance, class F goes out of the storage house.

On a big tree, class F lay out their plans before the Police guards go back to their waiting area to observe

Amiya: that man knows some of us by our names, so the best to mislead him is to drop some traps, so we need to divide ourselves by the names that he knew and those he doesn't

Kazura: no, not that, instead, how about we do mix up pairs, at least with that, we can continuously hide for the next 24 hours, he would be having problems looking for us if we spread thinly

Yami: that man knows my name, so I guess I'll be pairing with a man, for protection

Kazura: a man and a woman it is then

Amiya: but we don't have the right numbers to do that, can't you see that there are 25 girls out of the 40 students in our class, means someone should go, by 3's

Kazura: viable yes, but a single person will be left out

Mann: I'll be it, I put our class in this dire situation, my foolish actions almost cause us to fall into that prisoner's hands

Kazura: nope, you'll be doing another task, you'll be playing a very important role later with Ren and Kim

Mann: what do you mean?

Mimi: Kotaro is expecting you to sacrifice yourself as a form of asking apology from us, so to send you alone is a very huge mistake

Kazura: like as she said, you'll be a very vital piece later

Mann: I knew it, sometime in my life I will be somehow important for once, hahaha!

Ren & Kim: ( smack Mann's head ) Fool!

Genesis: ( thinking really hard ) Good, looks like we have a plan, so most of us will be hiding in the trees or bushes then

Kazura: well yeah, can't hide anywhere near that storage house, that Kotaro is definitely hiding his real strength

Genesis: I guess so, and another one, let's exchange codes and signs so that we can communicate with each other even from afar

Amiya: you mean by noises?

Kazura: that's good, but can't be repetitive, we can use other things too

Mann, Ren & Kim: if it's signaling you want, then we can cover that, we owned this jungle

Genesis: good, now how about we start pairing by 3's


After pairing by 3's, Genesis was left alone

Kazura: oh, you'll be the trap?

Genesis: no you goof, I'll be the signalman

Amiya: you'll be on the front line? sending us the signals, are you sure? your friends, the naturalists can handle that better than you I guess, they know this forest better than anyone of us

Genesis: of course, but they will be playing that role later, for now, that role is mine


After each of the 13 groups finally finished packing their supply bags, they go in separate ways according to the map drawn by Kim, and they all be moving accordingly to the marks drawn there, and before moving on different routes

Kazura: the plan is good, but you're going like before, alone

Genesis: cause it's better, the smaller you know, the better I move

Kazura: oh, ok, then I'll be going with my group, good luck to us

Genesis: sure, I like winning


And they go in their appointed marks.


6 hours have passed

Kotaro: so how would they save you, little guy? I mean, it looks like you are the only person who has the balls to come here alone, I'm surprised that of all people that I might catch first, it happens to be you, and I didn't even move a finger to catch you, you come here by your own volition, why?

Genesis: I'm quite surprised too, you never beat me already like how I heard from the net, prisoners like to beat their hostages, that kind of story

Kotaro: oh that, well, I don't beat my poor hostages, I kill them after I get what I want, so chill, I might send you to the other side if I fail to collect you all

Genesis: hahaha! Lucky me, then I hope you don't catch them before the time expires

Kotaro: ( listening to the roof ) hear those raindrops, I know those of your kind, rich pompous kids, daddy, and mommy give you everything that you want, well not now, your dreams will be halted to make way for mine, those classmates of yours, they'll be here before the time expires, so I'll be waiting, I mean us

And the rain goes harder than usual.
