Iro no Hime (a Kuroko no Basuke Fanfiction) – Prologue
Teiko Private Academy for Boys is among Japan's most prominent exclusive schools. A school that has achieved many things, both in academics and in athletics. It provides excellent facilities, and only accepts talented, if not affluent, young men.
This year, however, Teiko will undergo some great changes.
"What?" Shuzu Nijimura, son of the chief executive officer of the Nijimura Group, which also owned Teiko Academy, was greatly surprised.
"Haven't we discussed this before?" His father sat before the oakwood desk in his grand office.
"Teiko is no longer exclusive for boys. Starting this school year, we shall accept female students as well."
"I know that. But Tetsuna…she…?"
"The best way to assure everyone that we can also handle young ladies is to have your sister among the girls who will enroll at Teiko."
Shuzu frowned. His sister as a test case? He absolutely disliked the idea.
"I understand you are worried about her." Mr. Nijimura said.
"That is why I invited Akashi here. He'll take care of Tetsuna while she is in Teiko. It is his duty as the President of Student Council, after all."
"Still, it isn't safe for her." Shuzu replied.
"Father, I used to study at Teiko. I don't think we should send her…"
The secretary suddenly came in, hurriedly, as if somebody outside the room scared her.
"Nijimura-san," she said, "Akashi Seijuro wants to meet you."
"Very well." Nijimura's father stood up.
"Let him in."
A young man with bloodred hair came in, bearing the presence of a king.
"They said you asked for me." Seijuro Akashi said.
"Can I help you with anything?"
"Yes, definitely." Mr. Nijimura answered with an appreciative smile.
"I'd like you to help me with this year's enrollees."
