Round 1 [new characters and round announcement]

You're falling, and you can't remember why. It's a sickening feeling that makes your insides lurch; the darkness and the vertigo combine, and all you can think of is a story you heard once, somewhere.

- I remember now. It's a simple story that everyone knows. A legend of a Princess, the Demon Lord who kidnapped her, and the Knight who fought to save her.

The Demon Lord had kidnapped the Princess countless times, but every time the Knight bested his challenges and rescued the Princess.

No matter what tricks and ploys the Demon Lord used, the Knight would always triumph in the end. This was because--


The world tilts on its axis one last time, and the dream slips from your mind as easily as it arrived. A new voice intrudes on your sleep.

"Next stop: Academy Main Entrance. This tramline terminates here; all change. Next stop: Academy Main Entrance. All change."

Sunlight streams through the windows of the long carriage, making the seats almost uncomfortably warm beneath its waking passengers. The air is muggy and thick, the atmosphere deeply tired. Your nausea settles, slowly. The last of the dream fades.

"We have arrived at Utopia. Repeat, we have arrived at Utopia Academy. Could all passengers please leave the tram, as it is terminating here."

The tram pulls to a stop outside the academy station, and the students onboard are ushered off and directed to the front lobby of the school. They can't miss it; there are signs up pointing toward the main entrance, reading "New student orientation" in big, bright letters. If anyone should care to move off the path, try exploring somewhere else, a teacher will conveniently appear to shoo them back toward the lobby, assuring them that "all your questions will be answered inside".

The lobby is big and spacious, looking more like a university or perhaps a fancy international hotel than a high school. Stood around are any number of students in the uniform of the school. Some of them even look awake. There are several receptionists at the desk towards the back of the lobby, but for now they seem busy with paperwork.

"You as well?" Edgar inquired, glancing over at the young... man? It was tough to tell, honestly.

He wasn't sure what to make of this situation. He wasn't a poor fighter, but doing battle with people he had no quarrel with, and so many of them being so much younger than him...

He nodded. "Is it the same with you?" The man was definitely older than him, and better built. This man was most likely stronger than him physically. If that's the case then Kuchinawa was at a slight disadvantage.

So he decided that it would be best not to aggravate his potential opponents. Surely they could talk things out.

"Yes, it is." He nodded in return. "I suppose we don't have much choice if we want to regain our stolen memories, do we..."

There were probably other choices, he thought, but this must be the easiest one. After all, the school was made for this game.

"It could be worse. All of this could be real."

That was an odd thing to say. Edgar's eyes narrowed a bit. "Real, as opposed to...?"

He laughed. "As opposed to not real? I don't think you're supposed to survive tiger attacks."
