Prologue

The street lamps , the last rays of sun were lighting the sky. The road was deserted, there were only trash lying around. It was one of the streets that normal people avoided, full of local gangs and their headquarters. The area in its whole was dangerous. Yet, in front of one of the old warehouses stood a young man who wore a black blazer.

By his look, you could tell that he was still a teenager, a couple more years and he would be an adult. On his jacket you could see the emblem of Kurogin High School.

Students from Kurogin had the reputation of being very smart, it was hardly possible for them to come to such a place - an abandoned warehouse. There was only one class in Kurogin High which students would have some issues in this kind of place.

3-D

They were known as one of the scariest groups around. Rumors said that they send a lot of teachers to hospital; as well as students from other schools. They were included in most of the fights. To put it simply, they were criminals that hated their teachers, their school, and didn’t care that they could be expelled.
Yet, they were a little bit different from other delinquent classes. It was really rare to have two leaders. Odagiri Ryu and Yabuki Hayato, the strongest students among their class and the strongest in school. Of course, when you’re a leader of a ‘gang’, you have friends that will fight with you. Leaders of 3D also had their three friends and they were almost inseparable. But it’s still only ‘almost’.

Considering, that one of them is currently standing alone in front of the warehouse.

The young man took a deep breath and pushed open the iron door. The warehouse was empty. Windows were broken and you could see a river embankment and a footpath outside. The boy looked around and let his eyes fall on a teenager in a white jacket.

Ara High’s jacket.

He was alone but the Kurogin student knew that other Ara students were around somewhere. He took a few steps to stand in front of the guy.

Meanwhile, two persons were going the footpath that was close to the river. First, there was a young man who suddenly stopped dead when he looked inside the warehouse. Then there was a girl, who was a few meters behind him, she stopped and raised an eyebrow looking at the guy. She saw how guy’s eyes suddenly wider.

Curiously she turned her head to the left. At first she didn’t know what was going on. Then it hit her; the guy in front of her started to run but she was still looking inside the warehouse and ignored him. She couldn’t believe it.

“He’s from Kurogin… Why is he bowing to the Ara guy? They hate each other. Not to mention that Kurogin leaders would never actually BOW to their enemies without a reason. Something’s wrong…”

The boy had his lowered. The student in front of him was smirking. The girl was surprised but even if she wanted to know what happened, it wasn’t her place to ask. Not her business. She only knew one thing; this wouldn’t end well. She adjusted her clothes and taking one last glance she went away.

If both observers were close enough, they would see two tightly closed fists becoming white, a pair of eyes trying to endure humiliation and lips bit on hard in suppressed anger that they were almost bleeding…
