April 26th. After School. Classroom A-013
It was the after school, and the only person in the classroom filled with the orange rays of light of the afternoon was a single girl. The president, Hiiragi Tsumiki, was reading a book while she sat on a single chair, put in the middle of the room right beside a table. The other chairs were all piled up in the back and the room was neatly cleaned up. There were merely some things lying on the desk, as well as some other things inside the lockers and whatnot that should have been used by the students that would use the classroom under normal circumstances. If there was something normal about the classroom, at the very least.
A repugnant, malicious aura came out of, well, everything about it. Anyone else would hardly be able to remain calm under the oppressive aura. However, for president Hiiragi, that was nothing. She was already used to it. Two years in there, two years that seemed to be even longer than that. She had a good feeling this year. Capable people might come today to the Mystery club. And she was going to make sure that each and every one of them had what it takes. If they didn't, then they'd just throw their lives away. A test was necessary. Necessary to see whether or not the new people would be able to survive.
The door made a sound. They were seemingly trying to open it. And with that, it started. A whole new resolution to solve the mysteries had set in in Hiiragi's heart. No matter, who they were, Hiiragi would do her best to keep everyone alive. She owed her senpai at least that much.
The door opened.
"Welcome to the Mystery Club." The girl closed her book, giving the person who had just come through the door her full attention. "I hope I can help you with something. My name is Hiiragi Tsumiki, the president of this club. If you are here to join, then I congratulate you, for both your courage and resolve. It'll be needed in what is to come."
