Kin attempted to feign ignorance to Aki's question by running his hand through the back of his bleached hair, donning a bewildered look and replying, "Yeah, I don't know who those guys were. I suppose your guess is as good as mine."

Looking down at Aki, Kin knew she'd never fall for his act. The tessen-wielder was lightly massaging Kuro's back and looking up at Kin with a knowing stare. Besides that, there was also the fact that Kin had already mentioned the Hall Monitors to Aki before.

"Alright, alright." Kin finally conceded as he furrowed his brow and his demeanor became a bit more serious, "but I'll explain as we walk. Plus it'll make a lot more sense when we get there."

Kin then encouraged Kuro, and by extension Aki, to stand up with a quick poke in the side with his boken, before turning around and starting down the dark hallway.

Not bothering to check whether his two companions were following him, Kin began to talk. "Those guys we just fought were Hall Monitors. They are the lowest branch of The Enforcers, which is the student group responsible for running this academy. The Enforcers uphold school rules, mediate arguments and conflicts, and essentially dominate pretty much all aspects of the school. The kicker is that The Enforcers are the ones that make up the rules of the school and generally are the cause of most of the disturbances; it's pretty much corrupt."

The clicks of Kin's cane on the hall's tiled-floor echoed loudly through the shadows as he continued to walk and speak. "The student group that rules as The Enforcers is decided at a tournament held at the end of each school year, The Grand Battle. Five-person teams compete, or battle rather, against each other for the right to rule the school for the next year. Generally, a new student group takes over each year, but for the past 3 years the same team has won the tournament because of him..."

Kin came to a halt at what appeared to be a dead end to the hallway, but he continued to speak. "The Enforcers run this school like tyrants. The best way to survive is either to join them or get out of their way. Any other option will get you into some serious trouble...trust me I know."

With this, Kin massaged his right leg gently and began to reminisce about the previous year. He was brought back to reality by Kuro clearing his throat.

A little embarrassed, Kin finished up his small address. "Right, well...The one thing The Enforcers hate above all else are upstart, smart-mouth Freshmen, but they do respect strength, which is why we're here."

Kin smiled a little at the drama he had built up, the threw his shoulder into the hall's dead end, which was in fact a large door. The door creaked open slowly, revealing a blindingly bright sunlit courtyard.

The courtyard was much smaller than the school's main courtyard, about half a football field long and just as wide. The courtyard was completely surrounded by 30 foot walls on every side and there wasn't a single exit except for a door that stood in the middle of the left-most wall. The door was about 10-feet tall and came to an arching point at its highest. The courtyard itself was sparsely furnished only having about five or six benches and a simple fountain in the middle of the courtyard.

As the trio made there way into the courtyard, Kin noticed that there were was noone else in the courtyard besides them and two older looking students who stood off to the left next to the tall door. Shrugging off the glares he was getting from the other two students, Kin turned around and faced Akiko and Kuro. "Welcome to the First-Year Section of The Pit. What do you think?"
