I slowly opened my eyes as I awoke, a strange buzz in the back of my head. As soon as I was aware of my surroundings, I realized I was in what appeared to be a classroom. I was sitting at a desk, and was tied to the chair. I looked around, seeing that everyone else was in the same state I was. All seventeen of us... even the baby.

Chou was sitting at the teacher's desk in the front, and as soon as she saw that we were awake she jumped up with a grin on her face.

"Welcome everyone~!" The mastermind exclaimed, twirling a strand of platinum blonde hair. "Today you're gonna learn how to be a loveable person!"

I was completely confused, and I looked over at Tomi as he let out a laugh. "Really? You're teaching that?"

"Of course, I'm the best person ever with a great sense of morality!" Chou exclaimed, and I didn't catch any sarcasm in her tone. This bitch is serious.

"Is there any point to this?" Toki asked, glaring at Chou.

"Mmhm~!" Chou nodded. "You've all been such meanies to me, I gotta fix that!"

"I think we have a pretty good reason for that." Kimiko pointed out with a shrug.

"There is no excuse for disrespect!" Chou exclaimed. "Now, you can all call me Miss... wait, my last name hasn't been revealed yet. Just call me Chou then."

"Can you at least get rid of the ropes?" Katashi asked quietly.

Chou shook her head. "Nope, can't have you attacking me! And that's lesson number one, murder or plan a painful revenge against anyone who defies you, except if it's me."

"I miss Mr. Itami being my teacher..." Mai muttered.

"You guys should really take this all in! Human lives aren't all that valuable if they weren't doing anything important anyways, just violently remove your obstacles!" Chou exclaimed. "Then you'll be well respected as a person who takes action!"

"Yeah, respected by other murderers..." I muttered, glad that Chou didn't seem to hear me.

"Bodies of water are good for getting rid of the corpses, especially if you dismember them first." Chou said thoughtfully. "You can't do that where I've trapped you, but the best part is you don't have to hide the body! Just kill to your heart's content~!"

"This is just to make us want to kill each other, isn't it?" Toki asked, tilting her head. "If so, you're doing a terrible job."

"No! I really wanna make you better people! How can you have so little faith in me?" Chou whined, pouting.

All of a sudden, Tomi was behind Chou. He grabbed her around the waist with one arm, and with the other held a knife to her neck. I was impressed, I hadn't even seen him move.

"W-wait, you're not supposed to-" Chou stopped when Tomi pressed the knife against her skin. "Shit..."

Tomi laughed a bit, a grin on his face. "Now we can all escape~!"
