Whereas he had appeared to be casually slouching in his chair, James was, in fact, tense and ready. One of the braver students always made a dash for the bottle of antidote, and usually attempted to kill him for it. The only thing that surprised him was that the Ridican had been the first to move, James had expected the Draconian, the norse girl, or perhaps Hotarubi. However, he sat there without moving, as the Ridican took the bottle. It appeared the boy would not challenge James if it was not required, and James thus allowed him to take the bottle unharmed. However, now he revealed information that changed the game of survival.
"There is only sufficient for one dose. Only one person can be cured. Anyone wishing to have a cure, either for themselves or a friend, feel free to either kill the Ridican, or persuade him to give you the serum. All methods are allowed." James sat back again. It wouldn't be long before the poison took effect. It had an incubation period of about an hour, he knew, and once that time had passed, the students would be puking their organs out. Those that couldn't figure out what poison was used, and didn't have any other tricks up their sleeves........ would die.
