Zenatori finishes telling Akari the Rouzan situation. Akari thinks for a few seconds and says,
"So all of this is happening tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"I see. Well, if it wasn't obvious, we're both gonna need a plan. We also need Yachi in this for a 3v1 to even our odds."
"Wait, so you're saying that not even you are stronger than him?"
"Last time I checked, I wasn't the strongest person in the history of this school. Well, a big factor right now is that we don't know exactly how strong he is."
"I suppose that's true."
"Let's wait for Yachi-kun first-"
Suddenly, a knock on the door happened, followed by Akikyo Yachi. Akari opens her door and lets her in. Yachi says,
"Guys, we should all get each other's phone numbers to make communication like this easier! Isn't it tiring having to go in person when you can just text each other?"
Zenatori says,
"Well, I don't see why not."
After they all trade numbers, Akari continues.
"So, how will we defeat Rouzan?"
Zenatori says,
"How about we all just attack at once. First, I'll get destroyed in my 1v1 and then you guys will clean up, he's not THAT strong."
Yachi exclaims,
"You're a genius, Sakatoro-kun!"
Day 100 The School Courtyard 2:02 pm
Rouzan stood in front of Zenatori. He was around 190 cm and and quite a huge frame, his long ebony hair blew across the wind. Multiple people watch from the school's windows. He says,
"So this is the strongest first-year. You were quite easy to track, to be honest."
Zenatori says,
"So were you."
"Huh, what's that supposed to mean? Whatever, let's just get this over with."
Zenatori stammers,
"W-Wait, before we start, I just wanna know why you're doing this."
Rouzan says,
"Don't you understand the feeling of being at the top? This gets boring, I just want to be humbled already."
"W-Wha-"
Suddenly, in a flash Rouzan blitzes Zenatori and chucks him across the courtyard and smiles.
