The trio was walking around trying to find a new game arena.
That untill arisu spotted a big apartment building.

The three of them walked to the entrance. Blue lasers turned red when each of them walked trough.
"You think we'll find a doctor here?"
"I'm not sure." the girl answerd arisu.
"Don't be so negative." Karube commented.

The trio each grabbed a phone of the table, then naomi leaned against a wall and before she started observing the participants in the room, she reached into her bag and grabbed a piece of gum.
"You guys want some?"
"No thanks."
'I bet half of the people here are gonna die'
As the girl looked around, she saw two men standing at her left, one with a bandana and the other was buff and didn't had much hair, he had a black tank top on and had cargopants. And as the brunette noticed she saw the same bracelet that the woman had on her wrist in her first game.
Her gaze changed to a girl who was wearing a pink shirt with black leggings, she was stretching for about a minute or two.
'Maybe I should start stretching to'
Naomi walked over to the spot next to the athletic girl, while arisu and karube looked at her in confusion.
As she stood next to her the girl looked at naomi.
"Naomi."
"Usagi. Pleasure." Usagi held out her hand, and naomi shook it.

Her eyes landed on a boy with a white hood leaning against the wall.
She also saw the locker key bracelet the two men had on their wrist.
'What is that? Is it some cult or something?'

"You played before?" Naomi snapped out of her thoughts by the females voice.
"Mmh? Euh yeah." She slowly turned her head towards usagi.
"Your a spades player, aren't you?"
Usagi laughs at the girls statement
Before answering.
"Yes, and I see you aswell."
All naomi did was give usagi a nod and a smile.

As the two girls were talking to each other the robotic voice started talking once again.

Registration closed.

There are a total of 14 participants  the game will now commence.

"Excuse me?" Naomi looked up from where the voice came,
She saw a boy with brown hair and a blue cap approaching her two friends.
"Just what is this? I ended up here, I don't know what's going on."

"It's a game." Arisu answerd the boy,
But before he could say anything else karube stopped him.
"Beginners will only be in our way."
The blonde whispered. "It doesn't feel great, but it might be good to act like shibuki did."

Difficulty: 5 of spades.

"Five of spades." Karube said to himself.
A men approached the duo.
"Physical game." He said.
Naomi was eavesdropping their conversation.
"Strength is everything here." He continued.
The brunette rolled her eyes and walked over to her friends.
"Yeah we already know." She said.
"I'm Nitobe nice to meet you."
He ignored the girl and sticks his hand out towards arisu and karube, neither of them shaking it.
"Each mark has a different meaning?"
"Exactly!" The man states.

"Club cards mean team battle,
Diamond refers to a battle of the wits. And heart, it's the most troublesome one."
Nitobe explained.
"Troublesome"? Arisu asked curious.
"It's a game where you play with the hearts of others." Naomi finished the man's sentence.

Game: 'tag'
Rule: run away from the tagger.

"A game of tag? Who's the tagger?"
Naomi simply just shrugged her shoulders at arisu's question.
"How should I know." Karube remarks.
