Those Who Will Lead Japan

Location: service corridor on –2B floor of the cruise ship

Time: 6:00 AM- First day of cruise vacation

Unknown POV:

'The time has finally come, after years of preparation and planning everything is finally coming together.'

zzttt....zzttt

"Hmm..."

"Boss, everything is ready to go, shall we announce it to the students?" A familiar voice came over the phone to the tall agent, whom was currently walking down the corridor.

"Yes, go ahead, I'm on my way there now"

"Understand, good luck.... Agent T," with that the call was cut and Agent T made their way to the rear of the ship, where a luxurious theater awaits.

'Today will go down in history in the underworld of Japan, and my goals will be accomplished....and so will my vengeances, isn't that right....old comrade.'

Ayanokoji's POV:

"I'm exhausted"

'The last two weeks on the island have pushed me further than I would have liked...but in the end I suppose it could've been worst. With the help of sakayangi I was able to counter the attempts of the 1st years trying to expel me. There was also Nanase and Amasawa, whom revealed herself as the white room enforcer, were useful in providing information and decided to aid me.'

"I guess I should go for a walk," sighing I made my way out of the shared room, luckily my roommates weren't present so I made my way down the hall without gathering attention. It was half past six in the morning so many students were still sleeping or enjoying a well-deserved vacation in the cruise ship's many entertainment facilities.

As I walked outside to the railing, I gazed at the horizon and drifted back into thought over the many issues that still plague me.

'I was able to stop Nagumo-senpai on my way to I2, however knowing him he won't stop until he defeats me and then there was the bigger threat of Shiba-sensei and acting director Tsukishiro whom I was able to defeat with the aid of Kiryuin-senpai, Mashima and Chabashira-sensei. Thanks to their aid the issue has been resolved....at least that's what I want to say.'

'Something has been bugging me about Tsukishiro. Ever since the end of the 1st and 2nd year exam back in April....and from how he decided to handle the issue with Ichinose after she overheard him speaking to Shiba-sensei. He seemed hesitant about both situations or better put he wasn't giving it his all.... however, if you told me that it's just me overthinking, I would agree immediately.'

"Ichinose, huh"

'Ichinose had confessed her feelings to me back on the island even running nonstop for hours to warn me not to go to I2. Recalling that event I stated to her that I will give her an answer once we get back to the ship'

"How should I go about this" To confess one's feelings to a member of the opposite sex requires a lot of courage and mental strength, it's something that we can do over and over in our heads until the time comes to confess one's feelings to the person we like....at that point we stop, unable to speak, fearing the worst outcome.

"Haaaah" thinking of this reminds me of the time I helped Ichinose with the love confession she received from her classmate Chihiro back in our 1st year.

'One's earnest feelings deserve a proper answer.... yes, that was the advice I gave to her back then and now I will give her a proper answer. I'm going to reject Ichinose. Ichinose is a kind, caring person who always puts others before herself, any guy would be lucky to go out with her however that kind-heart nature of hers is the reason why she isn't useful to me. After my rejection she may end up locking herself up in her room again; shutting out everyone who tries to help her. This is necessary however, pain promotes growth, I know this all too well, and for Ichinose to grow; she must come to terms that I am her enemy.'

Will all 2nd year students and their respected classroom teachers please report to the central theater at the back of the ship. I repeat will all-

The sound of the ship's radio system broke me out of my current thought.

'Only the second years? Could this be another Zodiac Exam like the one from last year? Perhaps each year is getting a unique exam? Despite dealing with acting director Tsukishiro on the island I cant afford to let my guard down even for a second, he stated that he will be stepping down as acting director however its best to take his words with a grain of salt. So what will happen now I wonder?'

"Well only one way to find out," with that I put my hands in my pocket and made my way to th-

"Ohhhh....Senpaiiii"

3rd person POV:

Slowly the second-year students filed into the theater, many yawning after being woken up and walking around like drunks. 

"Achoo, huh that was weird.... oh, Sae-Chan" Chie Hoshinomiya wiped her nose and ran over to her collegue and best friend Sae Chabashira.

"Saeeee-Channn, what's going on?"

"How would I know, I'm in the dark about this too and so is Mashima-sensei I just ran into him in the hall on the way here."

"Hmmm, you sure you weren't trying to seduce that one student of yours.... right? Chie tensed Sae with a devilish grin.

"You know that such things are prohibited.... good lord....just go stand with your class already."

'Honestly why does she keep bringing up such nonsense, but enough about that, what's going on here, nothing was said about a meeting, acting director Tsukishiro didn't inform us.... oh no'

Chabashira panicky looked around at her class and the students still coming into the theater looking for a certain brown-haired boy.

'Everyone is accounted for except for him.... perfect. This school houses many great minds to help lead Japan into the future, they may seem like normal high school students, but they are the key to make my goals come true.... four classrooms full of students hoping to graduate at the top as the classroom of the elites, 'Agent T thought as he watched the theater fill with students from a hidden corner.

"God...why do we have to come here, I wanted to go to the pool and check out all the hot girls in their swims—phah...w-what the hell was that for!" Ike clenched his head glaring at his girlfriend.

"I'm right here next to you, you know...pervert!" Satsuki Shinohara stated while crossing her arms.

"S-sorry about that Satsuki"

"Hmph"

"Well....mostly elite....haaah....alright let the games begin," with that Agent T made their way onto the center platform facing the 2nd year student body. Slowly everyone noticed the person's presence and mutters could be heard throughout the theater.

"Who's that?

"What's with the mask?

"Is this an exam?"

CLAP...CLAP

"Greetings students and teachers, I want to thank everyone for showing up in an orderly fashion." Agent T started to analyze the students double checking making sure that he wasn't here.

"Excuse me, but may I ask on behalf on the teachers here who you are and what's going on? Unable to wait Mashima asked the person on the center stage.

"Right, right, I guess that should come first, allow me to introduce myself, I am a federal agent tasked on behalf of the acting director with a very special mission that requires everyone here, as for my name; I can't give you my real name so call me Agent T."

'Federal Agent? Tsukishiro is behind this?' "Alright the Mr. Agent T, what do you mean special mission?"

"Just Agent T will do and it's nothing major really, it just requires everyone here to watch some videos about a certain individual.... someone whom many of you know. A student in your year."

Mutters continued to envelop the theaters as students started eyeing key figures in their year most notably the class leaders and Koenji, whom was busy staring at himself in a mirror.

"Just a minute, one our classmates is missing," Horikita looked around at her class and was looking for one specific boy whom was nowhere to be found.

"Yeah, where's ki-Ayanokoji-kun?" Kei caught her blunder in time.

"Kiyopon....where's kiyopon?" Haruka eyes darted around along with the Ayanokoji group trying to locate their friend.

"Excuse me Agent T, it appears one of my students is missing, can we wait until his arrival?" asked Chabashira who unable to find Ayanokoji became nervous after hear the acting director's name being brought up.

"Oh, you must mean Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, well you see he won't be present for these videos as they are about him, and most importantly about his past."

"huh"

"eh"

"who's that?...oh the fast dude who ran against the former student council president."

"They interrupted my morning dump to watch some movie about a nobody?"

Confused and annoyed glances and conversations came across the theater, however there were some students who became excited and anxious.

"Guys he said Kiyopon's past.... he never talked about his past before to us, what do you think Airi?" Haruka said lightly nudging her.

"K-Kiyotaka-kun's past...i..i don't know."

"Is his past really that big of a deal where they want the whole year to watch it, this just seems to be a breach of privacy and a waste of time," Keisei sighed as he fixed his glasses.

"Come on, don't be like that, Kiyotaka is our friend, besides we've all been curious about his past at least once, it could be really cool." Akito remarked back to Keisei, however unknown to him what he's about to watch can be best described as a living nightmare.

"Well, well, well,kuku this has caught my interest, the past of that bastard, kuku" Ryuen couldn't contain his laughter thinking his greatest rival's past being revealed could be used against him.

'Today must be my lucky day, it doesn't matter if everyone sees his secret, I will use it to expel Ayanokoji then Horikita then that bitch 1st year Amasawa.' Kushida thought with an evil grin that didn't reach her face.

"Ayanokoji-kun's past," 'he told me before not to pry into his life, but it has been something that I've always been curious about. Perhaps now I can learn the truth about him and his abilities. I can find out how he got Nii-san acknowledgement.' Horikita glanced over her class to her teacher who has a grim look on her face.

'Ayanokouji-kun lived in a loveless environment, those where the words that Chairman Sakayangi said to me....as I observed him for over a year now, I've known he's not a normal high school student. His observation skills and his thinking process are not that of a child, are we going to be shown how he obtained such intellect?'

'They have grown quite depressant haven't they fufufu,' Sakayangi gave a smug grin as she watched her class gossip, however she was deep in thought about how to process this situation.

'Professor Ayanokoji would never release information about the White Room to the public, much less a high school, so who is behind this? Agent T....does he really know about the White Room, and if so, what's the goal here? If this person is trying to recover Ayanokoji-kun and take him back to that facility what's the point in showing his past? For now, it's best to stay quiet and analyze.'

"Alright settle down, we got a lot to watch so everyone please take a seat and get comfortable." Agent T moved across the stage to a computer and sat down in an empty chair.

"Excuse me.... but why are the videos about A-Ayanokoji-kun, not to be rude but isn't it invading his privacy?" Ichinose asked with a hint of worry and excitement which earned her to be teased by her classmate Mako.

"Well long story short it was all Hori-ahem, I mean Tsukishiro- sensei's plan, as Ayanokoji-kun's past is important in my mission and will prove to be important to this school and everyone here. Now save your questions for later let's begins."

The giant projector lit up the screen portraying the video title:

 Those who will lead Japan into the future

Time: 7:30 am

Location: Central Tokyo Metropolitan area- HighQ Investment building complex

On the 17th floor of HighQ investment, a company with many powerful and wealthy stockholders and businessmen, a meeting was taking place discussing a very important topic. 8 men gathered around a table all heads turned to a center figure at one end.

"Woah, who's that?"

"He looks scary as hell?"

'I've seen some of these men before, they're much older now but there's no doubt I've seen them at important meetings with my father discussing affairs of the Koenji Conglomerate....but that man at the end.... where have I seen him before.... not that any person comes close to a perfect existence such as myself, haha.' Our favorite narc-I mean Koenji thought while laughing to himself.

'He resembles Kiyotaka, especially his eyes.... cold eyes that could kill someone.' Kei thought as she recalled the time where she had to spread her le-I mean share her past to Kiyotaka.

"I assume everyone present here has agreed on my terms?"

"Yes....Professor Ayanokoji."

"Ayanokoji!" unable to contain her shock, Ichinose shouted then quickly slumped back down hiding her red tomato-red face, earning her to be teased more by Mako.

'Professor Ayanokoji? Could that be Ayanokoji-kun's father? Their hair and eyes match.... if that's the case does Ayanokoji come from a rich and powerful family?' Horikita pondered to herself engrossed in the video.

Those who knew Ayanokoji shared similar thoughts, except one girl with lilac-colored hair who knew exactly what was taking place.

'He is much younger however there's no doubt that that's Ayanokoji-kun's father. After all these years, I could never forget those soul-piercing eyes. If my theory is correct then Agent T must be connected to the White Room to show such classified information as investment deals taking place to fund that facility.'

"For everyone who is speculating, yes, that man is indeed Ayanokoji-kun's father. He himself is not very wealthy but holds an incredible amount of influence, and for those of you who still don't know what's going on, just keep watching." Agent T said to the student body.

"Excuse me Agent T, can you tell us how you managed to obtained these videos.... this meeting doesn't seem like it was meant for prying eyes." raising her hand, Horikita asked the tall agent.

"Oh right, well to put in terms that everyone here will understand, my agency is trained to hack and decipher videos....and we also can manage to read people's thoughts and put them on video too."

"Huh?"

"How is that possible?"

Sighing, Agent T continued, "We use a special technology called plot convenience.... now enough questions let us continue."

"understandable"

"Good," 'With everyone's funding Project White Room will finely begin and will produce those who will lead Japan into the future.' With that professor Ayanokoji shook hands with the investors and started putting his plan into action. A plan that would shake the world if known of its existence.

"White room? Is that paint company?

'White....room.... when I overheard the Acting director speaking to Shiba-sensei on the island I overheard him say those words. So, if we're watching videos about Ayanokoji-kun does that mean its connected to him.... or something else?' Ichinose racked her brain trying to figure out what all this meant; but she will have wished she never remember what she was about to see happen to her crush.

Time skip:

Location: Unknown

Time: 7:30 a.m.

After many months of back-breaking labor and pencil grinding a massive structure was nearing completion in an unknown location in the mountains bordering Tokyo. A facility with multiple side buildings and floors all connected by corridors. What stood out most however was the color of this facility. White. Solid white without a hint of color elsewhere; not even the security cameras that were present everywhere inside and out of the building were shaded different.

"That place is massive.... woah"

"So....is it a paint company?

'Agent T....just who are you to be showing this...' Sakayanagi looked over at Agent T who noticed her glance gave a small nod.

On the outside the building was very impressive, however on the inside was even more so. It contained several cafeterias, gym and pool areas, and many classrooms. Although....some areas were.... questionable. Bedrooms that you would see in prisons, chambers resembling interrogation rooms, observation platforms and not to mention the security cameras noted earlier were everywhere.... even in the bathrooms.

"What the hell.... what is this place?"

"Sooo.....it's not a paint company then...?"

'From the equipment and classrooms, one would assume that its some kind of high-tech private school, but that's not the vibe that it is giving off...kuku peculiar; but what the hell does this have to do with that monster.' Ryuen yawned trying not to lose interest.

"No privacy.... not even in the bathrooms, is this legal?"

Many of the students became more interested in this White Room, the entire student body became attentive to the video wanting learn more. Except for one individual, whom was still staring at himself in a mirror.

"Professor, we have checked all the systems and facilities within the white room and everything is working as intended.

"Good what about our 1st generation test subjects?"

"Test subjects, is this a lab?" Kanzaki commented audible to many others.

'What do they mean test subjects, if this is a lab like what Kanzaki-kun mentioned.... then what's with the classrooms and bedro-....no, don't tell me....' Horikita's eyes widened after she realized what he meant by test subjects.

The entire aura of the theater turned grimmer with anxiety, it wasn't uncommon for labs to use rats or rabbits as test subjects; but neither one requires bunk-beds or Olympic-sized pools.

"The 50 children in the infant stage have all been acquired by our agent teams and are currently on standby."

Yes children, unlike your normal lab rats, human babies will grow and take part in the White Room project.

"W-whaa...." Sato and Karuizawa both said in unison

"T-that's s-so c-ruel, they-re j-just babies...." Chihiro, a sensitive girl in Ichinose's class, couldn't bare the idea of children being called lab rats or test subjects; and soon tears slowly filled her eyes.

"WHAT THE HELL!!" Sudo unable to control his rage shouted out, with many others joining in.

"THEY'RE BABIES, NOT LAB RATS!"

"How could he dare do that to them, monsters!!"

Waves of anger, anxiety, and pity fell upon the theater as the ship slowly cruised along the peaceful ocean.

"Agent T, they're joking right.... they're not using them in some kind of experiment right, right??" Hirata panicky asking Agent T praying that it wasn't the case.

"Unfortunately, yes, to help everyone understand the White Room, it is a facility that uses babies as their test subjects. As how they were acquired most were bought from orphanages, some were taken from homes stricken with poverty under the cover of night, hence the need for specially trained agents." Agent T said as he paused the video.

"THAT'S ABSURD....HOW IS THIS LEGAL?!" Mashima-senpai, whom was quiet till now asked in a fit of anger and concern.

"It's not.... The White Room is a secret facility after all.... not even the government knows about it, or perhaps it's better to say they were paid to turn a blind eye."

Hiyori was hiding her face in her book hoping and praying that the children would be okay. Sadly however, for our little goddess.... this story doesn't have any happy endings.

Students across the theater began to panic, auras of worry and anger filled them.

Sakayangi was thinking about something differently however.

'Specially trained agents. And an unknown person who claims to call himself Agent T who seems to know an awful lot about the White Room.....I see, fufufu, I do believe I'm seeing the bigger picture now. But, there are more pieces not in play here yet, I must remain vigilant.' 

"Alright, I know this is a shock to many of you hear but please continuing watching. It's very important for everyone to watch these videos.

'50 children will be raised in the first generation, and another batch of 50 will continue the generations, after 5 years that number will increase with new reforms to the educational policy based on collected data to maximize efficiency. With these subjects my dream will come to life. A Japan where everyone can become geniuses regardless of DNA, with the adequate education and training we can all be seen as equal importance. With the goal to produce artificial geniuses, those whos' minds and bodies can rival those of natural geniuses, Project White Room has begun.'

'HOLY SHIT....that's the greatest monologue I've seen! It's like we're in a psychological thriller anime and we're the cast watching the MC's secret past!' Sotomura internally screamed with sparkles in his eyes...wait. What?

Agent T also noticed this, 'Great, we're not even ten minutes in and I broke one of them already. Wait.... why the hell is he drooling?'

Time skip: Grand opening of the White Room

All 50 WR students were brought inside the white room and were snuggled in a specially-made chamber resembling a fancy daycare. Instructors monitored them day and night checking for any abnormalities in their behavior or health. Day and night they were feed special formula to promote physical and mental growth and were given educational toys to enjoy themselves with. This growth and analysis period continued for over a year until all of the children were able to walk and had shown signs of understanding.

At which point their nutritional needs were also changed, changing from baby formula and anti-clotting baby food; once they were able to chew they were given a special mixture of boiled rice soup, called 'Jook' which was then mixed with nutritional paste and protein powder to create an efficient edible meal. Although it has little to no taste and looked disgusting.

"da hell, they made them eat that crap?!" Sudo(mutt) raged with other easy triggered students joining in. [Author-san says as he points a finger at Keisei]

'Yes embrace your inner Avatar!' Sotomura held up both fists in excitement [The 'jook' reference I got from Avatar the last Airbender, my whole childhood.]

Despite all the unreasonable rules and regulations and bland food, our young angels were quite happy with their lives; their days were full of hide-n-seek, tag, reading children's books and finger-painting. Instructors would even join them with their playing, helping them read, write and played music for them from time to time. A peaceful little world, wouldn't you agree?

"I don't know if I should be pissed or happy about all this, it's too much to take in....h-hey Suzune, what do you think about all this?" turning to his crush Sudog asked

"Well, if you want my opinion on the matter, it's disgusting that these innocent children were took from their parents and the orphanages without legal permission.... but....at the same time it's a good thing for them."

"What do you mean Horikita-san?" Hirata asked on behalf of the whole class; other classes began to overhear as well.

"There's no doubt that all this is concerning, however Agent T mentioned that these children come from poverty and orphanages where their lives couldn't have been better. Hunger, disease and unsanitary conditions could've been involved with either case." Horikita took a deep breath and continued.

"From what I've seen in this White room so far, none of these issues have been seen, in fact these children are receiving top-notch care and nutrition. They may very well live better lives than if they weren't there in the first place."

'fufufu, very impressive analysis Horikita-san....unfortunately that is not the case.'

Horikita's deduction brought put many students at ease. For now.

On the surface it would seem that the instructors were playing and having fun with the children, but that was the last thing on their minds, in reality they were teaching the children strict obedience and taking orders when talking to a superior.... all in preparation for their training.

The eerie aura returned once more upon the students as many started questioning what that meant.

"What do they mean by training? Training for what? And taking orders? This doesn't make any sense." Matsushita was frustrated with herself unable to find the answer.

"Kukuku, this is starting to get more interesting"

All the students kept their eyes on the video hooked on what was to come....

"I am so Beautiful," Koenji said flipping his hair back

Well....most of the students anyway.

As they grew older the children began learning primary and middle school academics simultaneously after understanding the alphabet and numbers, Basic biology, chemistry, times tables and pre-algebra and calligraphy were also taught. All of this took place before they reached the age of 4.

"huh"

"Woah...."

"How is that possible?"

"Man....and I still don't understand pre-algebra, that's insane" I wonder who said that?

"Before any of you ask, yes this actually happens, part of the White Room's educational policy is to provide an environment to amplify the learning process for its students. One way this is done is by removing everything unnecessary for growth." Agent T said hoping to answer the students' many questions.

'Removing everything unnecessary?'

Time skip: Day 1 of training

"Before I show these next videos, I'm going to hand out some refreshments for everyone and some light snacks, and for the teachers I also have some Asahi beer if you're intere-"

Cutting off Agent T, Chie Hoshinomiya ran down and snatched two cans and started drinking.

"WHAT THE HELL...tah...umm?!" A certain class A student screamed and quietly looked away, apparently upset that only the teachers got beer.

"Alright everyone let's continue," Agent T sat back down at the computer, 'This is where the real reactions begin.'

After four years of consuming special formula and nutritionally-enhanced food, the children's bodies were now mature enough to begin physical training. At 6 a.m. sharp two instructors entered the sleeping chambers and escorted the 50 sleepy children to a large gym.

"Woaahhh, it's so cool"

"This is going to be so much fun!"

Truly innocent little souls full of happiness and excitement. It's truly a shame.

"eh"

"huh"

"Good morning 1st generation, as of today you will begin your physical training to improve your bodies. Everyone line up and be ready for roll-call." The children eagerly got in line as they had been taught over the past year and smiled happily at the instructor.

"Your first task of today is to run 1 mile, 1.61km, without stopping around the oval track. Once you have finished step to the side with your other instructor and wait for further orders. Understood?"

"Yes sir"

"Good now line up along the start line and wait for the signal.... oh, and for those of you who fail.... punishment will follow shortly after."

The students hesitantly stopped for a spit-sec but continued to the start line.

"P-punishment..."

"1 MILE WITHOUT A BREAK! RIDICULOUS! There are students here who couldn't do that!" Mashima once again spoke out venting in anger.

"They can't be serious.... r-right Agent T?" Ichinose asked standing up from her chair.

"I'm afraid they are very serious about the task," 'and the punishment.' 

Since the track wasn't wide enough for all 50 students, they were split up based on physical potential and ran in 5 separate groups. As such most of the boys were in the first 3 groups with the girls and some frail boys in the last two.

"uhm, isn't that... kinda unfair? Grouping all the stronger students in the same group?" Karizawa asked Agent T who paused the video.

"Normally yes you would be correct, however as this is part of their training. The instructors are more concerned with the students completing their task exactly. It's not a competition," 'At least that's what they think.'

Naturally being better, the first three groups, despite the severalty of the task finished without stopping. All heavily panting and gasping for air.

"Eh...d-did someone c-call m-me? I wonder.

The 4th group squeaked by barely with some falling at finish line, however the 5th group was less fortunate. One student Rikoto, a petite frail boy, fell 3/4 of way grabbing his thigh. 

"I-I can't do it...." Tears slowly filled his eyes frustrated with his weakness.

"You got this!"

"Don't give up, you're almost there!"

Surprisingly, many of the students started to cheer for the boy, despite knowing this happened over 20 years ago, and unknowing that the boy was doomed to be corrupt that year.

One girl, Akemi, noticed the boy as she ran past him. She stopped turned around and helped the boy up.

"Come on, lets finish together, okay?"

"Y-yeah, thank you Akemi."

The girl put the boy's arm over her shoulder and helped him to the finish line where both collapsed with happy smiles. 

Little did the girl know, she will regret that decision for the rest of her shortly-lived life.

"Wha...what the hell? Why would she regret helping him?" Kanzaki questioned to no one.

'Agent T mentioned the instructors wanted the students to complete the tasks exactly....run a mile without stopping, so the boy stopped due to an injure causing him to fell and the girl stopped to aid the boy. So.... the both failed the task.... and the instructor said punishment would follow. W-what is the punishment?' Matsushita pondered and her body stiffen slightly upon the realization.

"Alright then....Test subject 1-13, Rikoto, come here to accept your punishment. All other students watch closely you're about to learn some valuable information."

"B-but I...I finished...."

"The task was to run 1 mile without stopping.....you fell down during the task therefore, you failed. Now step forward to receive your punishment."

Mashima was gritting his teeth at the treatment the children were getting.

"Calm, calm Mashima-Sensei, he'll just get a slap on the wrist and that will be that." Chie Hosinomiya said trying to hand him a beer can. 

If only a slap on the wrist was a form of punishment in the White Room.

Rikoto slowly made his way to the instructor with this head hanging down, the instructor put his hand on the boy's small shoulder and turned him to face his classmates.

The atmosphere in the theater was thick and heavy; all students' eyes were glued to the screen. Even Koenji watched while combing his hair.

The instructor came to the boy's side and....

*SMACK*

Delivered a strong right hook to his nose. Rikoto fell backwards screaming in pain holding his bloodly nose as tears flowed down his face. This would be the first blood to stain the white room's clean, sterile floors.... but it definitely wouldn't be the last.

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

"YOU BASTARD"

Screams, slander, threats, tears, all these were present in the theater.

Horikita covered her mouth and looked down in spite of her earlier deduction of the White Room.

'I see.... so that's what Ayanokoji-kun meant by I'm used to it after Tsukishiro pinned him by the throat.... forgive me Ayanokoji-kun.' 

Airi began crying in Haruka's knock-I mean chest.

Hirata was currently crouching down holding his head in his hands.

Hiyori's book was getting soaked from heir tears.

"As you can see brats, when hit on the Nasal Pole, its the human body's natural reaction to produce tears as you can see from the pathetic excuse lying down on the ground here. In combat it will give you a strong advantage to take note and attack these weak points....Test subject 1-27, Akemi.... step forward to accept your punishment."

"She didn't fall! She finished the stupid task! What is...s-sorry." Ike didn't finish his statement when his girlfriend Shinohara embraced him and cried quietly trying to calm him down.

"No.... she didn't finish the task..."

"K-kanzaki-kun why would you say such a thing." Ichinose rose from the ground where she had been crying to confront Kanzaki, emotions overtaking her logic.

"...Remember when the instructor said run non-stop....by turning around to help that boy Rikoto, Akemi failed the task...tch" Kanzaki averted his gaze trying to cool himself down.

"Are...are you serious? Just because of that, Agent T just what the hell is this place!?" Sudo said as he walked towards the stage in anger.

"I want everyone to listen to me.... Firstly, this happened 21 years ago, so there is no helping these children anymore and even if you wanted to. No one knows where the White room is apart from those who work there."

"B-but Agent T, y-you must know where it is, you have the videos showing it." Kushida stated with teary eyes.

"No, I'm afraid I don't. These videos were obtained by hacking into the White Room's servers which was remotely done. A GPS signal or IP address were two things we were unable to obtain."

'Why does it seem like he's lying, its as if he had that answer prepared ahead of time, as expected, there's more to this Agent T clown.' Ryuen thought as he ordered Albert, Ibuki, and Ishizaki to calm down Hiyori whom was having trouble breathing.

Akemi stood still froze in fear with tears running down her face staring at the boy she helped. The other groups watched trembling. Thinking about what if it was them in that situation. 

After a minute Akemi still didn't move, The head instructor signaled to another instructor who was behind Akemi. He came forward and forcibly pushed Akemi, at the same time the head instructor lunged forward landed his fist deep into her abdomen. Akemi coughed out blood and she fell on the ground unconscious. 

"As you can see hitting an opponent in this area of the stomach, known as the Solar Plexus, can cause them to cough up blood and if hit hard enough you can manage to knock out your opponent with one hit. Also seen her.

"DISGUSTING. CRUEL. EVIL, those instructors should just die!!" Such negative  words came from none other than Ichinose who once again fell to the ground crying and shivering. 

Horikita had tears running down her face, she however wasn't sad. But infuriated with her nails digging into her palms causing them to bleed. 

"How disgusting. These creatures are ruining the atmosphere and my perfect existence." Koenji managed to show his disapproval of the video and prove his narcissist ways once again. 

"Now then how about a friendly piece of advice, everyone of you better learn to get stronger, or else you'll end up like these two here. It doesn't matter how you do it. All that matters in the end is that you win. That's all that matter."

"On a side note, you all should be grateful since your bodies are still weak and pathetic we can't force them too much. We don't want our precious students to break yet now do we. Everyone report to the washing rooms and prepare for bed. Understood?"

"Yes sir!"

The once happy students were now terrified. Terrified of tasks. Terrified of punishments. Terrified of failing. Terrified of the White Room. This constant fear hung over their heads as a motivator to become stronger. To become the victor.

The students slowly made their way to bed after bathing for the night. Several students woke up screaming in panic from nightmares they had at night. Yelling for their fathers and their mothers, whom they have never seen before to come save them from this white hell. Sadly for our little pupils. No help will come for them. Many had suicidal thoughts. Some tried to take their own lives. This was the fate of those who were too weak to survive. In the White Room if you didn't meet the Criteria, you were useless. And you would be Disposed of.

"NO MORE! TURN IT OFF, I-I, can't....ahhh," Karuizawa began hyperventilating and crying violently. Hearing the children trying to kill themselves broke something inside her. She who had a bad past of bullying knew all to well how miserable and terrifying it was to be a loser.

Hirata was in a similar state, images of his friend jumping to his death in attempted suicide brought him to his knees as his face drained of color and life.

The theater was horrified, they would never forget what they seen here for the rest of their lives. However their reactions will be far, far more worst come the Demonic 4th Gen.

This torture will continue for years until they're adults. Even after 20 years of operation, and 1 year of security maintenance only 3 known students out of hundreds of WR students have ever been in the outside world. 2 in the 5th generation. 1 in the Demonic 4th generation.

"O-only 3.... that's insane..."

"How can there be such cruelty in this world, these children they didn't ask for this." Mashima who had to sit down to shook his head drinking the beer Chie gave him.

'Demonic 4th? 5th generation? They're around our age.... they've been to the outside world. How would they even fit into society like jobs or high schools?' Kushida asked herself. So who's gonna tell her.

'Demonic 4th? why is it different from the rest?'

'Oh my fufufu, so Ayanokoji-sensei has sent some WR students to retrieve Ayanokoji-kun. My high school life just became more interesting.' A wild smug loli appears.

'Why is that little loli grinning like that, she must know something about this, I need to pay more attention to her as well as this Agent T, kuku it was the right call to not sleep in today.'

Then one day, the lessons, the tasks, the punishments caught up with one of the students. Akemi, after being trip while running by the same boy Rikoto she helped months ago, fell and sprained her leg. The punishment she was given was brutal. Her face was bruised, one eye was swollen and she had marks all over her body. The instructors said it wasn't a punishment but them helping improve her pain tolerance as they laughed walking away. Rikoto just stared at her, he felt no remorse for what he did. He knew he couldn't take the first spot so he sabotaged Akemi so he wouldn't be last. After their bodies have matured more, these competitive tasks become more commonplace. The students have to learn to use and betray others to win. To survive.

"This place.... its worst than any hell, putting these kids through this, disgusting."

"Yes, you are correct about that Masumi-san, it's truly disgusting."

'I really could use one of those beers now....haahh.'

Young Akemi sensed that her progress wasn't getting any better. She was receiving more punishments than anyone else. She has thought of suicide numerous times but....

She refused to give up.

Sadly, it was this new found determination that would lead to her breaking point.

"No, no please I don't want to see anymore suffer."

"Shiina-san...."

"DONT. LOOK." Albert spoke patting Hiyori doing his best to calm her down. 

Sato was comforting Karuizawa who was hugging her crying,

'K-kiyotaka...where are you? I-I want you here with me. I need you. I need my love-dead boyfriend with me? Please where are you?'

*sniffle* "I-its okay Karuizawa-san. It'll all be okay." 'I wish Ayanokoji-kun were here.'

Todays' tasks consisted of advanced algebra, pre- calculus and trigonometry, and after the students burned their brains learning their weekly subjects; they were ordered to a side building where a Olympic size pool awaited them.

Unlike day 1 were smiles and excitement was plastered over the children's face, now a days they looked dead. Tired. Ready to give up on life at any moment. Akemi was determined not to fail her task. She along with 9 other students lined up along the pool and awaited the signal. The task was to swim towards one end and back within the set interval. Punishment would be delivered to those who failed.

The student body tensed up, many wanted to avert their gaze but they chose not to. All eyes were on one particular girl. Praying for her safety. Reality, however was much more cruel.

*BANG*

At the sound of the gun, the 10 students flew into the water, Akemi gave her everything into this. Adrenaline pulsed through her body. Her muscles were burning with pain, her heart felt like it was going to bust. Yet, she kept going soon she took the leader's spot and was now  on the final lap back to the beginning.

Kayano Onodera, who prided herself in being a fast swimmer was at the edge of her seat with wide, red eyes watching this race take place.

No words were said, but the auras the students gave off told you everything they were feeling.

Unfortunately after half-way on the last lap, Akemi slowed down, her body slowly went underwater. Until she was no longer visible on the surface.

"What's she doing?"

"Is she trying to finish underwater?"

"No, that's pointless," with this Onodera stood up to address the questions, " You will move slower underwater and from they way she was moving her streamline was off-positioned, I...don't know what she's trying to do."

Even after all the other students finished, Akemi never surfaced, her body remained underwater in the same spot.

Gasps were hear around the theater, Onodera began crying again. She knew what had happened.

"Tch, honestly how useless....Radio 1 to Security, I have a student to be disposed of."

"Pathetic, couldn't even finish the task before dying huh.."

Yes, on this day the first death took place. It was still unknown to this day whether her death was caused by fatigue and loss of consciousness. Or if it was intentional. This was the result of those who were weak in the White Room. Those who didn't die, their minds and bodies broke instead. They were placed in confinement. Dark, empty rooms with children stuck inside laughing wildly, banging their heads, cutting themselves. A group of defectives beyond repair. Disappearing forever, never to be seen again.

"HOW CAN THEY LIVE WITH THEMSELVES!"

"DIE. DIE. JUST DIE ALREADY"

The theater erupted in screaming. Those who didn't scream were too busy crying.

Sakayangi took off her hat to cover her face and she quietly cried, not wanting others to see the leader of class A in such a pitiful state. 

Her right-hand woman kamuro was busy gulping down a beer she had snuck away with earlier while everyone was staring at the screen.

"Agent T....how many died.....how many died in this generation..? Hirata's voice was dry, lifeless even worse than the time Yamauchi was expelled.

"Ahem, well for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations their mortality rates where roughly the same around. Out of the 50 students around 30 of them perished with those surviving were either too broken to be of use or those who were the top of the generation still weren't never the ranks of geniuses. [Just a made up number :D]

"30...30 of them died, unbelievable." Sudo looked down at his feet with clenched fists.

"I'm going back to my room...don't follow me..."

"W-wait Hirata-kun"

"I understand everyone here is heartbroken after seeing what these children went through, but I'll have to  ask everyone to stay. You want to know what all this has to do with Ayanokoji-kun right?"

At this Hirata and the other students who knew him all jerked their heads to look at Agent T.

"I said at the beginning that these videos had to do with Ayanokoji's past right?"

"Yeah we got it, his dad is a complete psychopath and that place is hell on earth, why should we watch more of this crap?" Ishizaki retorted while helping Hiyori stand up.

"No, I'm afraid there's more to this then that, so how about we go to the beginning and also show you a different side of Professor Ayanokoji.

With that Agent T unpaused the video:

Time: October 20- 4:01 p.m.

Location: The University of Tokyo Hospital

"Wait October 20....that's your birthday Ryuen!" Ishizaki exclaimed. [I don't remember if they already knew this, if they didn't then ignore this line.]

"Kuku, so that bastard has the same birthday as me eh, if that's the case I'll buy us a cake....and make him choke on it."

'C-choke....' Ibuki rubbed her neck after hearing Ryuen's evil plan.

'That's Kiyotaka's birthday.... if this was in the past does that mean ill see-' before Karizawa could finish a blue-haired girl screamed.

"BABY KIYOPON!" Haruka literally jumped out of her seat upon the thought of seeing kiyotaka as a baby.

"Kiyopon?"

"What kind of nickname is that?"

"eh..oh...um...s-sorry," but her excitement didn't last long as she sat back down embarrassed.

The previous heavy atmosphere soften as the image of a soft chubby baby entered the students' minds.

*Heavy breathing and panting*

"You're almost there Mrs. Ayanokoji, keep pushing." Right now a woman was in tremendous pain as she was about to give birth. 3 doctors were tending to Mrs. Ayanokoji whom was holding, no breaking, the hand of her beloved husband Mr. Ayanokoji, AKA professor Ayanokoji.

"AHHHHH"

"Whaaaaa.....waaaaaa"

The miracle that is childbirth is truly a beautiful thing. A baby boy with brown hair emerged from his mother's womb, no defects, no complications, a masterpiece of childbirth if you will.

"He's so cuteeee....ahhhh"

"Cheeks.... must.... pinch"

"Um....H-haruka, you're l-looking really scary right now."

"Huh, o-oh sorry, he he"

"Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Ayanokoji you are now the proud parents of a beautiful, healthy baby boy." Mrs. Ayanokoji took the crying baby as tears fell from her smiling face as well. Professor Ayanokoji leaned over and gave his wife a kiss on the head.

"You did a great job dear"

"Thank you, look at him, he's an angel."

Mrs. Ayanokoji embraced her son to her chest, the warmth and feel of the human body calmed little Kiyotaka as he eventually fell asleep. She ran her finger along his cheek causing a slight grin.

"kwaaaaa...*cough* *cough*"

"eh, eh Karuizawa-san, are you alright?" Currently Sato was rubbing Kei's back whom was choking to death over the sight of a smiling Kiyotaka.

"Guys look, Kiyopon is smiling, you got your camera right airi?"

"N-no, I-I left it in my r-room..." Poor little Air

"So, what will we name our little angel, love?

"I think I will leave that to the mother who gave birth to our son."

"hehe, then how about.... Kiyotaka.... Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.... has a nice ring to it."

"Perfect.... just like him"

The happy couple embraced one another with their sleeping son. It truly was a beautiful sight.

Many girls, unlike earlier, were now crying tears of happiness. Well, some guys were too, but they were blaming it on seasickness. It's not every day you witnessed something like this after all, for them it was a priceless experience.

If only that were the case....

Sakayanagi had small tears run down her face, however they were tears of sympathy as she understood what was going to happen. She remembered her conversation with her father back when she first visited the White Room, thinking back on it now; seeing how kind and loving Ayanokoji's mother is and for her father to say 'the first thing he seen wasn't his father nor his mother but that same white ceiling.' She knew something terrible was about to happen.

If only this moment could last forever.

Sadly, this will be the first and last moment this couple spends together with their son.

Unknown to anyone at that moment, the mother's body was failing her.

"N-no..no, t-hat can't be, no...."

"Oh god...." Chabashira covered her mouth with her had; many other students did the same unable to process what they just heard.

"Kiyotaka....I'm so.... Sorry...." Kei mutter no longer able to hold her tears back again and she started to shake

Matsushita just stared at the screen. Unable to speak. Unable to move. Just stared.

After the doctors took baby Kiyo to another room to do some minor check-ups Professor Ayanokoji kissed his wife goodbye and headed back to the White Room to continue his work with the 1st generation. Sadly, that was also the last time he will see his wife's smiling face.

"I-I don't want to watch anymore..." Hiyori curled up in a ball crying into her book.

Hirata was crying as well; remembering his friend Sugimura again, the pain of losing someone close to you, he knew that feeling all too well.

"I-it's okay H-Hirata-kun....It's o-okay..." With all her mental strength, Mii-chan tried to comfort him.

After around 2 hours of driving the professor made it back to the White Room, however as soon as he entered his office, he checked his phone only to drop it and run back to the limo. He had turned off his phone while at the hospital but forgot to turn it back on when he left.

What he saw on his phone......

It broke his composure.

8 phone calls, 8 voicemails over a dozen text messages all with similar information.

"M-Mr. Ayanokoji, Please call us back, y-your wife.... she's in critical condition."

"NO MORE, I DONT WANT TO SEE ANYMORE!"

"Ichinose-san!" Ichinose screamed and almost fainted before being caught by Mako and Kanzaki

*plunck* Chie Hoshinomiya dropped her beer can covering her mouth with both hands. Tears and beer dripped all around her feet.

"The hospital! Drive! Drive!" Professor Ayanokoji screamed at his driver as they raced for the hospital. As they flew down the mountain, the professor was holding his head in his hands violently shaking his leg. To him his wife meant everything to him, she was his soulmate, through thick and thin she stayed with him even when his unstoppable-fighting spirit drove him away from home for weeks or months on end. He would return home tired and aggravated to find his wife waiting for him with that same beautiful smile that made him fall for her. Family heritage, power, wealth, being a genius meant nothing to her, she loved him with her everything....and when he looked into her eyes, he felt at peace. The professor jumped out of the car and ran into the hospital.

"My wife! Where is she? Where the hell is my wife!"

"S-sir she's in room B-1, but...W-wait sir come back?

Not letting the nurse finish, he raced down the hall, up the elevator to room B-1. A group of nurses were at the door watching. Waiting.

"Let me through, that's my wife in there!"

"Mr. Ayanokoji, you can't go in right now, the doctors are currently busy."

"Tch," he ran over to the side where a giant mirror was at....and what he saw.... for the first time since he was a child.....caused tears to run down his face.

3 doctors were currently doing everything in their power to revive the lifeless woman who laid still with her eyes close.

"I NEED A SHOT OF ADRENALINE STAT!

"Ready....CLEAR...."

"Nothing doctor...."

"One more time.... ready....CLEAR"

Coming from a family of frail bodies and heart disease, Mrs. Ayanokoji suffered too much shock and pain during delivery.

"No... No.... Kiyomi, Kiyomi wake up!"

"You can't do this, please I beg you!"

The heart monitor hooked up to Kiyomi slowly decreased: 100bpm

"You have to wake up Kiyomi, your son needs you. I need you!"

65bpm

"We're losing her. Began chest compressions, insert a breathing tube and bring another shot of adrenaline."

30bpm

"Please....please live, Kiyotaka needs you," like many students Kei was crying violently. Hoping. Praying that the wife and mother will live to see her son, see him grow up into the powerful, handsome, love-dense boy that she knew.

Sadly,

As Author-san has said before....

There are no happy endings in this story.

Flat-line

"We-we lost her...."

Sobbing from corner to corner.... Matsushita herself fell to the flooring crying the hardest.

'I-I....I always boasted about my upbringing, my family, as if it was no big deal....as if it was nature for everyone to have such things, but now.... seeing this.... I-I'm a horrible human being.'

"It's not fair, it's not...fair" Mako was crying in Ichinose's chest who herself was only holding on by a thread.

Koenji and Ryuen both were frowning with their eyes close. Out of respect? Or perhaps to fight back their tears? It's not every day you witness the death of a loving mother after all.

Agent T glanced between the students and Professor Ayanokoji on the screen.

'I remember that day all too way.... the day everything changed.'

One of the doctors slowly made his way out the room to Professor Ayanokoji.

"I'm.... I'm sorry sir, we couldn't save her."

He didn't move. He didn't say anything back. He just stared through the glass at his wife's lifeless body.

*thump*

The professor fell to his knees and silently wept, a man known for his aura of power, superiority and leadership reduced to a crying mess.

'What do I do now.... how do I move on without your help Kiyomi? My dream, it was meant to be seen by your eyes by my side. How will our son make it in this world with this useless father of his? How will Kiy-, no I won't give up, I won't give up on my dream. I refuse to.'

The crying faces of the students were all wide-eyed upon seeing the professor's sudden transformation. His voice. His face. Just in a mere matter of seconds, the aura around him changed. It was....cold.

"May I go in and say my last goodbyes to my wife?"

"Of course, sir, we'll give you some place, everyone back to work please."

The professor made his way into the room, checking the walls and ceilings for security cameras or anything that records.

"W-why is he doing that?"

"I guess he doesn't want anyone else to see him cry"

'His aura is completely different, as soon as he mentioned Ayanokoji-kun's name, something seemed to snap inside him' using her compass to hold a handkerchief Horikita wiped her red, puffy eyes.

He made his way by the side of his wife and took her hand.

"Forgive me, my love, I couldn't protect you. Please. Forgive me."

Despite everything the students witnessed happen in the White Room at the mercy of the professor they couldn't help but feel sad and have pity towards the professor. A man who clearly loved his wife with all his might. It's something that would affect even the most stone-hearted person.

"However, you don't have to worry about our son, he will be fine. No, he will be great even if I have to force him to be."

'kukuku, tough childhood huh Ayanokoji, what that apatheic face of yours couldn't handle a little fatherly love.'

'I guess the fortunate-teller was right after all....'

Agent T closed his eyes knowing what the students were thinking, except for one.

'Unfortunately, students of ANHS, Ayanokouji-kun's past wasn't him growing up in a single-parent house where his father forced him to study and exercise and not to hang around the wrong people. He grew up in hell. A hell built by his father. A white hell that his father threw him in.'

'This is it.... the time has come Masterpiece, your darkest secret is about to come to light, fufu, I would be honestly happy. But I truly am sad about your mother. I could tell she would've loved you with all her heart. It's truly unfortunate. There's no need to fret however, I will show you the warmth of another human. Then you will be mine. And mine only.'

Professor Ayanokoji took out his phone and called an anonymous number.

"Um, y-yes sir? I'm sorry, but I thought you didn't want to be disturbed until you get back?"

"Never mind that, have the orders to bring my son to the hotel that I gave to Matsuo canceled."

"Matsuo, who's that?

"Was that the driver?

Sakayangi was staring, not at the screen, but at Agent T.

'It was only slight, but Agent T definitely reacted when hearing the name Matsuo. It felt weird though, as if he meant for me to see it.'

"Y-yes sir, but what about your son sir?"

"You need not worry about him; I have bigger plans for Kiyotaka."

"Bigger plans. What the hell does that mean?"

"Shut up Kanji I'm trying to listen."

"S-sorry Satsuki"

"What is the status of the test subject roster for the 4th generation?"

"Seriously, his wife just died and he's more worried about putting more children to their deaths."

"I guess business is business after all.... even the illegal kind."

'I.... don't like this.... why would he ask about this after saying he had big plans fo-.... He, no, he wouldn't. His own son, he'd never, you're overthinking. Your emotions are controlling your thoughts. Nii-san would be calm in this situation. Ayanokoji-kun would be calm. You have to remain calm.'

"Our agent teams are still being deployed however we're still lacking her terms of suitable subjects."

Professor Ayanokoji got up from his seat walking out the door, giving one last glance at his deceased wife, then made his way to the infirmary.

"Very well, we will be increasing the difficulty of the 4th generation. We have to push the subjects even further to produce better results, our investors are becoming restless with the lack of results.

"HAVEN'T THEY SUFFERED ENOUGH!" Hirata screamed out in protest, the girls by his sides joining in.

"You bastard, where's your heart"

"Oh, I get it.... it's not your son in there so you couldn't care less right."

Sakayanagi glared with killing intent in the direction of that last statement.

Ryuen was currently deep in thought. Horikita remained silent. Koenji was, well. Koenji.

"I will be leading the 4th generation myself."

"You'll....be leading the new generation sir, are you sure?"

"Very," the professor made his way down the emergency stairwell where there were no signs of peoples.

Pain.

"On another note,"

Promotes.

"I have personally selected a student to join that place."

Professor Ayanokoji changed his phrasing upon enter the busy main lobby on his way towards the infirmary where baby Kiyotaka has yet to wake up from his peaceful slumber.

Growth.

"I-I don't like this. Why he is making me think that he's-" A restless, nervous Kei was cut off by the video.

"You have selected an infant that will be in the 4th gen sir, if I may ask, who sir?"

A brief silence came over the phone as Professor Ayanokoji stood in front of the infirmary staring through the glass at a sleeping baby boy with brown hair whose little bed came with a note saying, "Little Angel <3"

"No, no, h-he wouldn't, he couldn't" Hirata's face turned grim as thought of what the professor was about to say flashed through his mind.

"He...no I can't think like that.... he wouldn't do that to.... Ayanokoji-kun."

"A-are you alright...Ichinose-san, your face...is really pale." Chihiro stared at her with worry.

"Heh, o-oh I'm fine, it's probably from all the crying earlier." 'I have to stay strong, as a classmate and a leader.'

'I may just be stupid and overthinking this but...the way he's staring at Ayanokoji, it makes me think, no that his son Ken, get a grip. I should ask Suzune.'

"H-hey Suzune what do you th-" To his question Sudo saw his crush shaking. Staring at the screen with wide eyes that were also shaken. She seems to be muttering something like, "No-way" "Not his son."

Chabashira began crying again with a single thought running through her mind. Over and over again.

'Ayanokoji-kun grew up in a loveless environment.'

'Ayanokoji-kun grew up in a loveless environment.'

"Sae....Chan? What's wrong.... y-you're shaking really bad."

Sakayanagi rested her head on her cane and braced herself for what comes next.

"What is evil? - Whatever springs from weakness."

[CTTO to owner]

At that moment because of his weakness. A weakness known as emotions. Professor Ayanokoji made an evil decision. A decision that will change everything. A decision that will change the White Room forever and help produce those who will lead Japan into the future.

"My son.... Ayanokoji Kiyotaka will be enlisted into the 4th Generation of the White Room.
