Chapter 1

Two weeks before the First Year's Examination Acceptance Announcement

Last Night

CLICK. CLICK. CLICK.

Hiruma went to the school system and hacked into the student database to check the number of junior highs entering Deimon as 1st year students. "Kekeke, this year is a fruitful one. Lots of boys in the name list."

SNAP!

The bubble gum Hiruma is blowing popped as he gleefully printed the name list with the entrance number given to each examinee that took the entrance exam. His grin dropped as a thought occurred to him. This is the last year for Kurita and him to make it to the Christmas Bowl. If only that old man didn't get into an accident, Musashi might be…Closing his eyes briefly, Hiruma snapped out from his depressing thought. Musashi will came back, he knew the guy too well. The passion for American Football runs through the blood of the three of them and their souls yeaned to play Amefuto with the big boys at Tokyo Dome.

BEEP.

Hiruma took the papers from the tray and stuff it into his back pocket. Switching off the computer and printer, he walked out of the teachers' room. Hiruma Youichi, 2nd year student of Private Deimon Senior High, never show any weakness to anyone, be it his enemies or friends. Even his two closest friends, Kurita Ryoukan and Takekura Gen, better known as Musashi, Hiruma hardly let his guard down. With one exception, Cerberus, his dog companion, gets to see the other side. But that's about to change as Fate decides to tamper his orderly life.
