Prologue

"Haha Saki, looks like I won again! You just can't beat your old man can you? How many wins does this make it?"

"488 wins."

"And how many have you won?"

"...zero… *sigh* One day, father, one day. I will beat you."

"Hmph, I look forward to it." He paused. "Saki, I'm going to send you to the mahjong school in Tokyo, Yaku High."

"What? Why? I want to stay with you, here in Nagano."

"Sorry, Saki, but I'm not going to stay here in Nagano. I've decided to travel around a bit. I'll be back in three years time."

"I can't come with you?"

"No, not this time. Plus, I think the school will be good for you. Who knows, maybe after three years, you'll be able to finally beat me in a game."

"Alright…"

"Saki."

"Yes?"

"Promise me you'll do your best in school?"

"...Yes...father."

"Welcome, to the Yaku High Entrance Exam. I will be conducting your exam today. Please sit." Saki sat down in front of the mahjong table. She was inside a small room with no windows and only one door. The only thing in the room was the mahjong table.

"Miyanaga Saki, right?" Saki nodded once. "Alright. The exam will now begin. Please enter." The door opened and in entered three girls.

"These are current students of Yaku High. You will play three games with them. We will evaluate your abilities based on these games. Good luck."

"What's wrong, you look like you saw a ghost. Did the examination go badly?"

"No. It's just, the girl that I proctored... Miyanaga Saki."

"What about her."

"At first, I thought she was only mediocre. She managed to keep up with the three girls from Yaku high and placed 2nd each time, but, she didn't seem like a stellar mahjong player to me."

"So? What's the problem?"

"She got three plus minus zeroes in a row."

"Really?!"

"Yes."

"Is that even possible?"

"Apparently it is."

"So...what are you going to do? Are you going to admit her?"

"...I don't know…"

Author's Note

This was the preview of the story. Sorry it's so short. I promise I'll update with chapter 2 soon. I also modified chapter 1 slightly to make the plot simpler. There's just a lot of loose ends to tie, so many possibilities I can choose.

By the way, this is going to be based off of another manga. Can anyone guess what it is?

Please review. I am at a lack of ideas. :D
