CHAPTER ONE :

Freshman

Ryu joined Suzuran High in the second semester as a freshman after being released from Juvenile

Ryu was put in Class A and was deemed to be quite and minded his own business at first trying to gather information of the strength of Suzuran.

During his first week at Suzuran, there was a call out for all the Freshman to meet at the Gym

That afternoon Ryu was not interested and was the only one refusing to go, this sparked Misaki Shigo (who was the leader of Class A and deemed to be the 3rd strongest of the freshman) to be obnoxious and provoked Ryu,

As Misaki got closer, Ryu got up his chair and threw a left hook which knocked Misaki outcolded.

The whole class was shocked in fear as they never seen Misaki get taken down so easily, Ryu then told the class that they are not going to the meet at the Gym and to remain in class as he started excersing his new role as being the new leader of Class A.

That same day the 4 freshman leader at the gym was waiting and wondering where Class A Misaki is. Impatiently waiting, Seto (Freshman Champion and also younger brother of Toyama Morio who is currently a senior) decided to send Class B, Fujita Takao and Class D, Koike Tesuo to check up on Misaki.

When they arrived they saw Misaki on the ground and was confused. "WHAT HAPPENED ?! WHO DID THIS ?! WHY ARE YOU ALL NOT AT THE GYM YET!?" Koike Tesuo shouted.

As Ryu steps foward, the whole class looked and stared.

Ryu looks over to Misaki that's still on the floor and turns back to Koike and Fujita saying, "I don't like being told what to do, so get lost before you end up like him"

Koike and Fujita were both furious and launched Ryu at once, but he easily wins the fight without breaking a sweat

After some time has flew by, Seto was now very impatient and decided to go look for them but by then it was too late.

As he approaches Class room A, Seto walks pass Ryu without realizing who he was and disregards him,

When Seto arrives at the Class room, he found Koike and Misaki on the ground while Fujita was sitting against the wall just barely moving.

Seto furiously asked Fujita what happened

But Fujita feints before he could say a word.

This sparked Seto to go berserk on Class A students as he furiously started beating them up and throwing them around like rag-dolls.

Teachers then came to check up on the ruckus but Seto was gone by the time they have arrived.

As the evening closes in, the school bell rings one last time ending the day.

The next morning everyone is back to school, some with bruises and bandages.

When Ryu approaches Suzuran gate, he was approached by Seto.

“You from the corridor yesterday, what do you want ?”

Seto then explains to Ryu who he was and challenges him to a fight after school at the gym.

Ryu agrees to the fight and prepares for the afternoon.

As the day comes closer to the end, words around the school have been spread like fire; even the sophomore and seniors were also interested.

As everyone gathers to the Gym, Ryu and Seto decide to start the fight.

Ryu dodges all of Seto attacks and intercepts him with a powerful punch that drops Seto to the ground.

The whole room was shocked and cheering,

After the fight, no freshman dared to cross with Ryu.

A week has gone by, and the school has gone quite.

Seto then decides to meet up with Ryu for a second fight along with all the other top freshman students but when they found Ryu, he was sitting by himself on the bench reading a book.

They saw this as a perfect opportunity to ambush him while he was busy reading, but as they approached closer to Ryu they saw the book cover “Genji’s Perfect Succession.”

Genji ? As in GPS Takiya Genji !? Seto ask.

Ryu replies to them “That’s right, he is my cousin, and he gave me this book when he graduated Suzuran while I was in middle school.”

Seto and the other freshman were shocked but was intrigue.

This led to Seto asking Ryu If he was ever interested in conquering Suzuran.

Ryu replies with a smile “I’ll be the first one to officially conquer Suzuran, better then F.B.I, Hana-Gumi and all the other older generations.”

Seto and the other top freshman’s then decides to join up with Ryu as they felt he was a genuine person and could have a chance to unify Suzuran.

As Ryu rises to be the new freshman leader, his new faction was founded by the help of Seto and the other freshman and named it “Faction Ace” which was filled with freshman at the time.

While still recruiting other students to join Ryu‘s new faction, Seto stated to Ryu that if he wanted to unify Suzuran faster, he needed to beat the strongest man in Suzuran, Tobe Kenji, the sleeping tiger.

Ryu decided to send a challenge to Tobe Kenji aka the sleeping tiger

When Tobe Kenji received the challenge he was not interested and decided to avoid such nuisance and instead told Ryu that if he wanted to take him on, he would have to take on the top seniors first to prove his worth the time.

This led to Toyama Morio (3rd Year senior and also elder brother of Seto Morio) to confront Ryu as he was disappointed at Seto for losing and deciding to follow someone else.

Toyama was not impressed and decided to test Ryu by approaching him from behind, and dropped him with a powerful kick,

As Ryu tries to get up, Toyama throws another devastating punch and drops him again.

“I can’t believe my little brother lost to you, pathetic!”

As Toyama slowly walks away, Ryu gets up quickly and furiously charges at Toyama.

They both start throwing punches and kicks, but Ryu starts getting the upper hand and slowly pushes Toyama back.

Toyama was shocked “What is this strength!? I can’t take it...” Being overwhelmed by Ryu's strength, Toyama loses the fight.

A week has gone by and Ryu has decided to go look for Tobe Kenji and demanded for a fight.

As Ryu started disturbing Tobe Kenji peaceful time, Tobe got up and furiously starts throwing punches to Ryu and drops him by surprise, Ryu was amazed by the strength of Tobe, as he got up they both fought brutally on the rooftop of building A.

Tobe Kenji surprisingly knocked Ryu down a few more times and puts up a good fight.

It was a very close fight but and turned out to be a draw.

Days later Toyama Morio wanted to speak to Ryu and apologise to him for hitting him from behind

He then also decides to start following Ryu and his faction as he saw Ryu having some potential to becoming a great leader and decided to mentor him about Suzuran and helped him with unifying the school.

Ever though Ryu now has one of the strongest factions in Suzuran, there are still many more factions left to accomplish.



Sophomore
In his sophomore year, Yoshiya Tomichi & Misaki Shigo graduates leaving Ryu with some great wisdom and plans for his future as a new era begins.

A new senior karate champion, Seto Morio transfers into Suzuran and defeats all the senior students. Later on during the semester, he found out Ryu was considered the strongest in school and challenged him to claim the top but will eventually lose to Ryu.

After a couple more attempts but still failing to defeat Ryu, Seto eventually becomes loyal to Ryu and becomes his deadly right hand man instead.

Few weeks later Ryu started having some arising problems with students from the past during his middle school years, which shortly sparked a war around the Toarushi district. This occurred when Housen Academy wanted to dominate the Toarushi District and decided to take down all the leaders from other schools such as Rindow High, Kurosaki Ind’, Kawada High and etc.

Meanwhile, all the schools that were affected were furious and went on a hunt attacking Housen students but was easily defeated by there elite fighters.

Ryu had to take initiative action and gathered his Ace Faction and went to settle thing's with Housen High.

After a rage of fights broke out, the war ended when Takiya defeated Kenji Samba the Leader of Housen Corps Killer, the man who was initially behind the plan of attack. After the war, Suzuran then called upon a truce with Housen.

Senior
In his senior year, Seto Morio graduates and a new freshman named Yamada Omezo who use to follow Ryu back in middle school, transferred to Suzuran and typically challenged Ryu.

The freshman lost after putting up a good fight and decided to follow Ryu and his faction afterwards.

Later on during the semester, Yamada along with some Ace members, tour around the school trying to recruit more students to the faction.

This is when they came across a lone-wolf freshman student named Akira Michio.

When he refused to join, Yamada decided to teach the freshman a lesson.

But Akira bested all of the Ace members including Yamada and since then, no one dared crossing him.

During some time, Akira started having some trouble with Yakami High students from Oyama East District.

This occurred at the train station after a group of Yakami High & Sendai High students told Akira to turn down his volume on his game device, but Akira ignored the request.

Ogata Yakumo who was the leader of Yakami High, kicked Akira's game device out of his hand.

Akira was then enraged and a fight broke out as he took out Ogata Yakumo and all of the other students with ease.

After this incident it caused some heated tension between the two district.

Ryu and his Ace members decided to meet up with the Leader of Yakami High & Sendai High to sort out the problem.

When Ryu found out Ogata Yakumo was the leader of Yakami High, they tried to come in terms with the whole incident.

But Ogata Yakumo stated that even he can't stop his guys from wanting to take revenge on Akira.

They explained they couldn't find Akira as he wasn't often at school but Kudou Zenko, leader of Sendai High came to believe that Ryu was lying and was trying to cover up for Akira.

Due to both of them not agreeing to terms with, Kudou decided to declare war.

Ryu realizes that he can't take on Yakami High & Sendai High alone with Suzuran, He then decided to try and unite all the high schools of Toarushi by defeating all of the leaders in town and thus forming a new faction called The Delinquents Of Toarushi, and eventually went to war against Oyama East District.

The two district put up a close fight but it all came to a end when Ryu fought against his middle school friend, Ogata Yakumo (Mad Man) from Yakami All Boys High School and defeated him.

This made Ryu known to be one of the strongest fighter in the history of Oyama East, Toarushi District.

On the day of Ryu's graduation day, Yamada who was beaten up by Akira Michio earlier the semester, urged Ryu to avenge them.

Seeing as this was the last obstacle for Ryu, he decided to look for Akira.

Later on the day, 8 members of Ace found Akira on the rooftop of building A, playing video games by himself. Akira was then surrounded and was told to leave the rooftop since it was the senior area.

Akira refused to go anywhere else, so the Ace members took his video game and broke it.

This then enraged the infamous Akira as he bested all 8 of them at once with little ease. As Akira was about to leave the rooftop, Ryu walks up and blocks the path.

Ryu was shocked to see his members all beaten up, so he insisted to fight Akira as this would be his last before he graduates.

They both fought till the end but the result of the fight is unknown.

After the graduation, Faction Ace disbands along with many others.
