The abandoned warehouse reverberated with the cacophony of battle, a grim testament to KEEL’s monetary tyranny. Furin’s first-years were being overwhelmed, their numbers insufficient against the gang’s brutality. But the tide turned as three second-years—Kaji, Enomoto, and Kusumi—crashed onto the scene, shifting the deadlock from a loss to a stalemate. Kaji ascended the rusted metal stairs, his sneakers clanking rhythmically. At the summit, he stood locked in a brutal exchange with Shingo Natori, the KEEL leader. Natori’s sticker-laden metal bat swung with lethal force, leaving Kaji battered and the outcome for Furin hanging by a thread.
