Narrator's POV
Wakasa is now lying down, staring at the sky, while Loki lies on his right side on the rooftop floor.
Wakasa then speaks, "I didn’t expect the two of us to lose," as he gazes at the cloudy sky.
He continues speaking while looking up, "And on top of that, we lost to first-years. Maybe we should leave Taesan High because of what happened." He glances over at Loki lying down.
Loki doesn't respond and just continues staring at the sky, wide awake.
Wakasa looks back at the sky and says, "Let's leave the school to them. We’ve got nothing left to do here, especially since we lost to them."
"For as long as you led Taesan High, I can't believe it’s the first-years who caused its downfall."
"But I’m sure things will be fine and start changing from now on."
Wakasa pauses for a moment, takes a deep breath, then stands and walks towards Loki.
He stands to Loki’s left and extends his right hand toward him.
Wakasa speaks, "Let Zero take the lead from here." Loki glances at him and takes his hand.
Wakasa helps Loki to his feet, and the two sit together at the edge of the rooftop.
.....
Zero and his companions, who were waiting on the third floor, have now reached the ground floor.
As they walk down the hallway, they spot Miyuki's group near the ground floor.
They approach, and Miyuki's group notices them, rising to greet them.
Zero smiles at them and says, "We did it." Miyuki and his crew smile back at him.
Zero invites everyone to walk out as their fight inside Taesan High has concluded.
They reach the gate of Taesan High and walk out together.
They head straight to Natalie’s shop to eat, as they’re exhausted and Miyuki feels particularly hungry.
It doesn't take long before they arrive at the shop, and they all enter together to grab a bite.
1 month later
Zero has just arrived in front of Taesan High, standing still at the entrance of the school.
Someone calls his name from behind.
"Zero!"
He turns to see Kizaki, who is waving at him with a smile.
Kizaki walks up to him and asks, "Why are you just standing there? Aren’t you going inside?" raising an eyebrow while looking him in the eye.
Zero calmly replies, "Nothing, just felt like hanging around outside." He starts walking into Taesan High.
Kizaki follows and walks beside him.
Over the past few days, a lot has changed within the school.
One significant change is the departure of Loki’s group and the third-years who were with him.
The first- and second-year students have followed Zero’s lead.
They understood that Zero would be a great leader for Taesan High, earning him their trust and loyalty.
Many friendships and cliques have formed within Taesan High, and there's now a sense of camaraderie among the students.
Zero walks with Kizaki beside him, heading towards the gymnasium, where he has summoned everyone from Taesan High.
They arrive at the gym entrance, and Kizaki opens the door for both of them to enter.
Their arrival catches the attention of everyone inside.
Zero walks ahead with Kizaki following behind, and many greet them as they pass. Zero smiles back as a response.
He climbs onto the stage, standing in front of everyone, while Kizaki remains below.
Zero faces the crowd, and it’s clear that the gymnasium is packed with people.
He scans the room, and everyone is watching him, waiting for him to speak.
But Zero can’t spot his friend Miyuki anywhere in the gym.
Zero asks the crowd, "Where’s Miyuki?" while still scanning the room.
Someone replies, "He hasn’t been here since earlier." Zero turns to the speaker and nods.
He decides to ignore it for now and plans to look for Miyuki after the assembly.
Zero begins to speak, "I called everyone here because I have something important to tell you." He looks at the crowd.
The entire gym falls silent, everyone waiting for Zero to continue.
Just as Zero is about to speak again, the gym doors burst open with a loud bang.
They all turn to see who opened the doors, and it’s none other than Miyuki, his face bruised, his nose bleeding, and his lip busted.
Miyuki enters, panting heavily, and looks directly at Zero, still standing on stage, staring back at him.
Miyuki manages to speak, "Valiant Street High is coming here," his voice weak as he locks eyes with Zero.
The crowd inside the gym is shocked, while some remain calm.
Zero speaks again to command everyone’s attention, "Everyone, get ready now. We’re going to meet them head-on." He looks at the crowd.
The entire gym erupts in agreement, and Zero steps off the stage to lead the charge.
Everyone follows, including Kizaki and Miyuki on his left.
They make their way to the front of the school, where the large gate stands.
Zero halts, causing everyone behind him to stop as well.
They can hear the sound of footsteps approaching their direction.
One by one, figures appear at the front of Taesan High, dressed in red shirts and black slacks.
They form a line in front of the school, and a man with undercut red hair steps to the front of the group.
Zero looks him over carefully from head to toe.
The man is about Zero’s height, but with a slightly bulkier build.
Zero speaks, "Why are you here? What’s your purpose?" he asks the red-haired man.
The man responds, "You, and your entire school," in an arrogant tone, grinning at Zero.
Zero’s brows furrow at the man's response.
He glances to his left, then to his right, before looking back at the man and shouting, "If that’s what you want, then we’ll give it to you!" Zero yells as he charges towards the enemies standing in front of them.
Zero’s crew shouts in agreement and rushes to meet their rivals from Valiant Street High.
The opposing group charges back, screaming as they clash.
Zero leads his group, leaping into the air, preparing to land a powerful left kick on the face of the red-haired man.
The red-haired man also winds up a punch with his right fist, ready to meet Zero’s kick mid-air.
The end.....
