(Couple Months Ago)
(Manabu POV)
Kenji and I quickly ran through the shinobi hall like a hurricane. Two of us, along with Naoto, were rushing to the Kurokage's room. They opened the door to the room to see the whole Gessen elite squad was there. We entered and saw a man lying on his bed. They came up to him and sat down to see if Kurokage had left this realm. His eyes were shut, no pulse, no movement from his body. He has indeed left this earth.
"Kurokage-Ojisan!" Kenji was on my left, his eyes bubbling up with tears as he lay down on the floor. Kota was in the room as well, not saying anything and closing his eyes. Naoto was confronting Kenji like a big brother, and he tried to calm Kenji down. I was dumbstruck, but we have lost someone we hold dear, and there is no way of bringing him back.
Naoki entered the room as well. His face was that of someone who didn't have any emotions at all. Everyone was either silent and was crying like Kenji and Minori. I saw in his eyes pretty clearly. His eyes show regret and sorrow but not because of Kurokage.
It is because he has lost his target.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going to my room to write a report." Naoki nonchalantly said while everyone turned their gaze to him as he left the room. Yozakura was ready to storm out to hit him but was held back by Naoto. On the other hand, I did not know how to react to this situation. Kenji is still crying due to grief, and Naoto has his hands full with Yozakura. I walked out of the room and found all the students from the Chronicle standing in front of the room. Everyone was silent as I walked from Kurokage's room.
I was walking back to my room. With Kurokage gone, who will guide us? Yumi-san seems to lead and has experience teaching the Gessen Girls to battle, but how about Chronicle? Can Naoki be trusted to take the mantle seriously, or will his gloomy attitude bring the fall of Chronicle early?
I suddenly noticed that I was about to pass Naoki's room. My heart tightened, and I walked towards our leader's room. I did not know why I did, but my gut told me I had to give our leader a piece of my mind. I was about to knock on his door, but Naoki-san opened the door. Naoki's eyes were stunned when he saw me. Did I interrupt him, or was he going to go somewhere?
"The hell are you doing here?" Naoki asked with a suspicious tone.
"I want to ask something." I countered. Naoki is still staring at me. He's pressuring me to leave. I will stand my ground. I followed this man, yet he still did not care about people surrounding him who were ready to support him. Naoki opens the door wider, indicating that I could come in, and Naoki might hear what he wants to say. I decided to enter the room to face him as the door closed to anyone other than me.

Manabu sat on the bed of Naoki while Naoki was still writing his so-called "report" on his table, ignoring Kenji, who was waiting.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Naoki asked, still writing. Manabu felt a bit uneasy around the room as well as Naoki, but he is here now. No turning back from this situation, and he also wanted to talk to Naoki.
"What would you do now after this? With Kurokage gone, we need to consolidate our rule in Gessen. People are starting to worry about your leadership and your not caring attitude. If Kurokage was here, what would you.."
Naoki slams down his pen to his desk, making Manabu startled. "If you did not have anything useful to say, you can go outside." Naoki threatens one of his trusted friends. Manabu still stays on his ground and will not take this warning from Naoki.
"Do you forget our mission is to kill Kurokage and get out of this "get together bullshit"?" Naoki reminded Manabu of their intention all along.
"We lost to an old geezer. Rather than leaving us to die, he offered us a home and food that we could eat. He gave us a second chance, and we came out becoming a better people."
"Funny. Coming from the guy that got expelled from middle school five months in his first year. Yeah, we became better people, alright." Naoki retorted, and Manabu quickly grabbed the collar of his upper classmate's shirt. Manabu's eyes were angered by that statement that Naoki made. Manabu took a deep breath and let go of Naoki's shirt.
"I pretend that I did not hear any of this. I don't know what made you like this all of a sudden, but you will need to step up as our leader. Let out all of that frustration and lead us to victory." Those words strike Naoki like a knife to Naoki by his teammate. Manabu let out a sigh and got out of the room. Naoki stays still, contemplating what Manabu has said but quickly returns to his chair to finish his report.
He kept writing for a bit, but he quickly stopped as he noticed water just falling off from somewhere. His sight began to blur, and water just kept pouring from his eyes. Naoki just froze, unable to continue writing his report. On the side of his table, there was a photo of him and the others with Kurokage. All of them were smiling while Naoki was looking away from the picture, dissatisfied with everything around him.
"Goddamnit, Kurokage."

(Evening)
(Tokyo)
(Taito Ward, Asakusa)
Naoki was silent throughout the journey to Shindo's destination. He saw that Shindo was always beside Yumi while Naoki was behind them, still looking on. After being named a leader of the Chronicle, Naoki felt uneasy and thought that Kurokage made a bad call. While people wanted his brother or Kota to be a leader, they declined. Maybe if one of them declared their legitimacy as a leader, it would result in a civil war, thus weakening Gessen and Chronicle as a whole. That was Naoki's perspective of the situation but had he ever tried to do anything to win the heart of the school? Maybe he was the cause of the turmoil inside the Chronicle all this time?
As Naoki was still in his little world, they stopped in front of a yakiniku restaurant. The Gessen students were dubious about Shindo's location, but Shindo seemed to check his phone.
"This is the place, Yumi? You might be wrong about this one." Naoki asked Shindo, and Shindo nodded. Shindo looked at his phone to see if this was the correct address.
"I'm sure of it, Naoki-san. I went up to this road a couple of times with Asuka-san, so I'm sure this is the right place. Shindou-san, what are we doing here?" Yumi curiously asked. Shindo is still looking at his phone, but he hears what she said about their actions here.
"He said that we should meet up to discuss our matter. Surprised that he picked this place rather than some old sushi restaurant." Shindo replied as he took away his phone. He sat on top of guard rails, waiting for the person he was waiting for to arrive.
"Is the person that you are going to meet is someone you know?" Yumi asked. Shindo nodded to the question.
"Yeah, he's my caretaker, but I viewed him as sort of a dad or a brother. He's sometimes a pain in the ass, but he's an alright guy that I can depend on." Shindo smiled.
"Even if he is not related to you? You must have felt odd when strangers suddenly cared for you out of the blue. Have you ever considered that maybe they have ill intentions?" Naoki confronted Shindo of his naivety. People are sometimes willing to do bad things, even pretending to be on someone's side for their benefit. Naoki felt the same way towards Kurokage, and Kurokage just took pity on him.
"Depends how you see that person. I always have that feeling at first when that man helps me with my problems. What does he gain from helping me? How will he use me next? Those negative feelings swelled up your view. The more you wrap your head in those views, you slowly can not differentiate what generosity or manipulation is." Shindo gave his response to Naoki. Naoki hears someone's view on his incapability to lead because he is strayed from his path. Rather than becoming a leader, he became a bully, hanging around with a coat of approval from Yumi's grandfather to lead.
"From looking at the both of you, you guys turned out pretty well for yourself. Do the two of you have parents that are waiting at home?" Shindo asked curiously.
"I have mom and dad once. They died because of a car crash that a drunkard caused. I still have my big brother, whom I respect. Another man named Kurokage took me in, let me and my brother stay in his home along with Yumi and the others." Naoki says a bit about his background and piques Shindo's interest.
"Kurokage?" Shindo was interested in that name and who he was.
"He was my grandfather, but he passed away recently. We are still trying to adjust to living without him, but grandfather's will live in me, and I will uphold the justice that my grandfather has bestowed upon me." Yumi declared. Shindo claps after hearing those words, and Naoki just smiles in approval. She has her own path, but what about Naoki? Is his path as righteous as Yumi, or is he aiming for something else?
"Pretty cool, Yumi-chan. You sound like one of those superhero shows on TV." Shindo congratulated her.
"Spoken like a true leader, Yumi." Naoki approved.
"Nao, are you supposed to be a leader as well? Looking into your eyes, I can tell that you are a capable leader that people could depend on." Shindo suddenly asked this question to Naoki. Yumi and Naoki were shocked by that response.
"Huh? What do you mean? I am not very capable of leading from the get-go. The person that can lead people easily is my big brother." Naoki's voice suddenly felt sour as he was talking from his heart. People always flock to his big brother for any trouble Gessen has and then relayed the problem back to him. Nobody likes to forward their problem to Naoki, and he wonders why they never come to him if there is any trouble.
Before he could answer back, a sliding door of the restaurant opened, and they saw a short-haired man walking outside. His short hair was red, and His eyes were normal black coloured eyes. He wore a black tank top and jeans. The two Gessen students were confused by the man before them while Shindo recognized who he was.
"Narukami, it's been a while. How are you doing, you bastard?" Shindo shouted to the man while pointing at him. He receives a punch in the back of the head from the person because of that shouting.
"You forgot to refer to me using honorifics, you punk." the man retorted to Shindo. While Shindo tries to ease the pain from the punch, Narukami gazes upon Yumi and Naoki and notices that their uniform is from Gessen.
"So these brats are from that rich Gessen school, huh?" he thought.
"The hell was that for? I thought you were going to pick me up at the station. I've waited for 4 hours like an idiot." Shindo rants about his situation to his caretaker. He was supposed to be picked up by Narukami, but he never showed up in the station, so he decided to venture to the city independently.
"I got a business from an old friend. It was a long conversation, so I thought you might want to go on a little adventure in the city." he replied.
"At least, treat me some grub before we head out. I'll forgive you if you treat me to some Yakiniku hehe." Shindo grins as he has leverage on Narukami, but Narukami does not pay ahead of anything that Shindo had to say and walks away from the three of them.
"Alright, I'll cook you some food when we get back to my home. You better not complain when we walk. Got it?" Narukami says and continues to walk away. Shindo just sighs and walks away with Narukami, but he stops and gazes towards the two Gessen students.
"Before I leave, this is my answer to you about leadership. No leaders are the same, so you should not compare yourself to your brother. The one who can decide that answer is if you can handle the responsibility. You are a smart person, so it will be easy for you to figure it out in no time."
Those words struck Naoki to the core. He constantly compares his rule over Chronicle with his brother if he decides to take leadership rather than what he can do with his power. Shindo waves goodbye to the two as he follows his caretaker. Naoki was still silent after hearing those words, and Yumi knew this from his expression.
"What can I do rather for Chronicle than what my brother can do for Chronicle?"

Yumi and Naoki were walking back to their school. Naoki was pretty silent, which worried Yumi. Yumi never knew a word from an outsider could make him quiet for a while. Yumi then claps both hands, and it reawakens Naoki from his silences.
"Yumi. don't do that!" Naoki warned, but she giggled towards his response.
"Sorry. I was just trying to ease up the mood." Yumi responded. Naoki and Yumi kept walking, but the Shindou words still lingered inside his head.
"Things that I can do that are different from my brother. I wonder what I can do that is different from my brother."
"AAAARRGGHH."
A scream suddenly let out through the quiet street. Yumi and Naoki took a second to disgust what they heard and went quickly to the source. As they were running to the scene, they saw a couple of people using bats to pummel the stranger on the ground. They also stomped him endlessly. Naoki's rage was welling up, like a pot that was going to combust and let out its smoke.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" His shout alerted the attackers as they tried to get away from them, but one of them got caught as Yumi froze one of the attacker's right legs. The attackers were covering their appearances with a hoodie, so it was not clear who The fleeing attackers tried to flee, but Yumi again showers the fleeing attackers with shards of ice and hits the back of all of the attackers. Naoki was treating the wounded, and he noticed that the one who got attacked was a student of Gessen in the boy's branch, which is the Chronicle.
Yumi goes to the one where his right leg was frozen and checks the attacker, but the people that wore hoodies were just wooden puppets. Yumi then goes to the attacker that she subdues using her ice, but they were also wooden puppets. Naoki examined the student who was injured. The blood from his head, bruises of baseball bats can be seen throughout his body. Surprisingly, he was half-conscious.
"Hey! Are you ok?" he called out to the student, and the student used all of his strength to open his eyes. The student nodded as he was ok. Naoki then put him upon his shoulder, and they quickly went to the hospital, with Yumi following his lead. The student was still clinging onto Naoki, he was going to say something, but he started to cough up blood from his mouth.
"Naoki-kun, he's coughing up blood." Yumi is alerted, and Naoki notices a couple of bloodstains on his shoulder.
"Hang in there, man. We're going to the hospital, so don't open your mouth, ok?" Naoki says as he begins moving quickly to the hospital.

The hospital that they went to is called Shiranui Hospital. This hospital was a regular hospital for normal society, but it was also a hospital for the good shinobi faction of Gessen. The owner of the hospital was an old acquaintance of Kurokage and a former shinobi, so the shinobi's secret remained silent in society. All the doctors are also former medical shinobi who have retired from duty and use their medical expertise to help the community and the good Shinobi of Gessen and other shinobi.
Yumi was outside and was waiting for Kota to come. The attacked student was one of Kota's members when the student told them to call Kota. Yumi decided to call Kota regarding the situation, and Kota quickly headed this way. As the sound of the elevator was heard, Kota arrived on the floor where one of his boys was hospitalized. He spotted Yumi and went to her to ask about his situation.
"Where's Masami?" Kota asked her.
"Masami is sleeping right now. I was told to get out of his room." Naoki said as he approached them.
"Did you guys find the people who did this?" Kota asked Naoki and Naoki shook his head, indicating that he didn't know who could've done this.
"It is regrettable to say this, but the attackers of one of your colleagues are done by puppets, so we can't verify who the attacker is or where he is." Yumi regrettably replied to Kota. Kota took a deep breath and looked out the glass window.
"We may not know who did this, but I think we found a lead that may uncover the attack on your guy." Naoki's statement piqued Kota's interest.
"Just like us, it seems that Frontier also suffered the same fate as us. A couple of nights ago, someone attacked a group of delinquents from the Frontier. Frontier is still looking for the culprit, so the perpetrator seems to use the same strategy against us." Naoki added.
"So, what does it have to do with us?" Kota is interested in the information that Naoki is giving him.
"Those guys that got attacked were Katagiri's men. The witness says that the one who attacked them was wearing a silver-coloured school uniform. Katagiri may have thought it was an attack by Gessen by the description alone. It is also dark that night, so witness testimony may differ from the real accident that happened during that night." Naoki speculated what Frontier Frontals would do if one of their own was attacked. Kota can't blame Katagiri for doing what he did. He would do the same if someone did that to his squad.
"I already told Kenji-san and Shiki-san to investigate into their Frontier's territory while we investigate ours. I think splitting our forces may cause us a disadvantage, but it'll be faster to investigate where the two attacks happened." Yumi explains the plan. It is a simple and effective strategy for investigation, but what worries Kota is that the first years would encounter Frontier in that territory.
"What about Frontier? They don't like people flying other colours around their area." Kota added.
"I know you mean well for your comrades as well as everyone in Gessen. This is different. if we keep helping them on their endeavours, they will never grow, and the next generation of Gessen will grow ever so weaker than before." Naoki justified his action. By doing this, 1st year can grow and learn to adapt to situations that were uncalled for.
"Yumi-san. Are you sure you are ok with this?" Kota asked Yumi, and She nodded. She also believes that the 1st year can do their job without fail. Kota is still a bit worried because they encountered Frontier before, but they only do a minor scuffle here and there but those used to be dealt with by their upperclassmen during their time.
"Kota-san! I did not know that you came to visit." a voice called out to them, and they saw Masami, who was walking but still limping from the attack. Kota quickly goes to his subordinates' side and tries to check upon him.
"You should not be moving right now. I suggest you rest up for the rest of the day." Yumi worried about the well-being of her junior.
"You are correct, Yumi-san. but I used up all my strength here to get here to do this." After saying that, Masami bowed in front of Yumi and Naoki. A sign of thanks and gratefulness that he was saved by the two of them.
"Thank you very much!"
Naoki and Yumi just felt relieved that their junior was ok. Even after being attacked, he still used up his strength to come here. Although his exterior might be that of a puppy, his interior shows toughness and grit that one day he might be another pillar for Gessen in the upcoming future. Yumi noticed that Naoki was smiling a bit as well.
"You don't need to lower your head to me. A thank you is already enough. Yumi, Kota, we're going to meet up with big bro and Yozakura-san. Let's go." Naoki said as he was now leaving the hospital. Yumi soon follows him.
"You better rest this time, Masami. Don't let me catch you roaming around the hospital. Rest up and go back to school after you feel better." Kota warned him, and Masami nodded as he understood that order. Kota then followed Yumi and Naoki. He felt glad that he finally met Naoki and Yumi. Many Chronicle members seem to hate Naoki due to him not caring what happens to the Chronicle members but a little interaction with him. He seems to care about the people around him. He hopes that he can lead Chronicle and not be so reclusive towards everyone.
Masami's thought on Yumi is that Yumi is an ice queen type of character, someone tough to approach, but she showed quite a warm aura when you got close to her and talked to her. Masami heard that Yumi met Kurokage again when the elite squad suddenly disappeared out of nowhere. Many Gessen shinobis and Chronicle thought she was still mourning his death, but Masami hopes that Yumi can get through what she is facing right now.
"Naoki-san and Yumi-san. I wonder if I can be as cool as them?"

(Frontier Frontals Territory)
Manabu is roaming the area as he is trying to find a clue where the attack was launched. He wondered if Naoki had started doing the search before him so this could end quickly. He heard rumours that if someone flies other colours in Frontier's territory, they will get beat up for it. Manabu was still investigating until he saw a couple of guys wearing messy black Gakuran, possibly from Frontier Frontal's territory. The rumour has it that Frontier is wearing Gakuran to blend in with society to not be detected.
Manabu quickly hides inside a shop to avoid any detection from those guys. Manabu just sighs in relief until a finger pokes his shoulder as he turns around with his fast reflex. Manabu then saw a girl with red eyes, wearing a light blue apron. She has long black hair with thin bangs and on the side of her hair is a thin red ribbon tied into a bow.
"Is there anything that I can help you with?" the girl asked. Manabu still did not have words to say to her; he only used the shop to hide from the Frontiers.
"A customer?" a sound of footsteps coming in contact with the ground was heard from inside the restroom. The man that came out from the bathroom is none other than Katagiri. Both men locked eyes as they knew each other from somewhere.
"So the Chronicle decided to attack now? You guys work fast." Katagiri slowly walked to his trusty metal bat. He grabbed it and pointed the tip of his bat to Manabu's jaw.
"Do you have a death wish or something? Coming here in front of my shop means that you have one." Katagiri stated, but Manabu still is not fazed by Katagiri's intimidation. The girl seems to be worried about the things that are going to happen to her shop.
"I'm here not looking for a fight, Just question about the attack on your men. Last night, we experienced the same thing as you. I have a proposition for you." Manabu still kept his voice firm even in front of his enemy.
"Why would I team up with you when it does not benefit me in the slightest?" Katagiri asked.
"If you bludgeon me to death, you trigger a war between our faction against yours. I heard that your higher-ups of Frontier's are not very keen on helping their juniors. Two, you guys are flying blind without any lead, and we can use our resources to find the culprit." Manabu tries to consult with Katagiri.
Katagiri seems to think that this proposition was bullshit. A group of thugs would not let their own territory be disgraced by another one. It was a logical response for delinquents like them to attack back as soon as possible. On the other hand, he'll be seen as incapable if he cannot avenge his comrades. He lowered his bat and looked at the girl that was beside him.
"Ayame, Tell Tora-san to come here tonight. I'm going to ask him if he can help us find the culprit that did this to my squad." He ordered the girl, and she nodded as she went to the telephone behind the counter to call one of Katagiri's associates.
"Thank you so much. With this, tracking our attacker will be a piece of cake." Manabu was relieved that Katagiri went along with this. Still, Katagiri's unsure eyes kept firm and beware of backstabbing assholes such as the likes of Manabu even if he was lending some help, people can't be trusted easily.
"I'm only doing this for my men, not you. If you gave us a half-ass report, you better be sorry for stepping foot on our turf." Katagiri gave an ultimatum.
"Fine by me, I don't mind losing a tooth or two, fighting a baseball reject." Manabu fires back. Katagiri was a bit offended by that remark, but both smiled in agreement. The following weeks will be hellish for people to screw with these both factions, gunning for their heads.

(Meanwhile)
(Asakusa, Taito Ward)
"So good!"
Shindou was eating at a local Gyudon restaurant. His reaction to his food made others look in his direction, but they quickly went back to eating their own food. Shindou was still roaming around the city, so he got used to it. He seems particularly enjoying his stay in Tokyo so far, and he is happy. Shindou also puts a photo in front of him while eating, with other guys noticing and blushing when they see the picture. It was a beautiful picture of a girl that was older than him.
The girl has long black hair, wearing a white dress and a summer straw hat. Dark blue eyes and her alluring figure will make any guy go crazy for her. As he looked at the picture, he sighed and planted his head on the table as he felt his enthusiasm was down after seeing that picture.
"The food may taste better if we can be together again, Ryoki." he thought and smiled while looking at the picture of this girl in front of him. Suddenly another bowl of gyudon came to him. He was weirded out on why there was another bowl on his table.
Before he calls out the waiter on the gyudon, a voice tells him. "It's on me." the voice called out to him.
Shindou looks beside him to see a man wearing a purple hoodie and brown hair. The man must be around his early 20s. He has this distinctive aura about him that kind of rubs Shindou the wrong way, but he does not care, and it's free food, so of course, he will take it.
"Thanks, that was the second good thing that this townsfolk has done to me." Shindou replied with a smile, and the man also smiled in response.
"It's nothing. You make it sound like you are depressed or something. You're new here?" The man laughed a bit.
"Yeah, I came from Hyogo Prefecture. This place is very different from Hyogo. The air smells bad, and crowds of people in trains almost suffocate me from entering." Shindou explains his experience in Tokyo to a random person that gave him free gyudon.
"Hyogo? You come from a pretty distant place. What's your business here?" the man asked.
"I left my previous school in Hyogo before I came here. My caretaker said that going to school is essential for me, so he is looking for a school to take me in. Given my records in my middle school years, I might get lucky to even have a school to take me in."
"I see. Has your caretaker found any schools that wanted to take you in?" the man asked. Shindou stopped eating and looked at the man.
"He manages to hook me up with Gessen co-ed classes, but the finalization of my enrollment is still in question. He said he will search up to three more so I will not worry about one of them rejecting me." The man was astonished how this caretaker has these connections that can even land Shindou even in Gessen, which is impossible if his records were dirty with misbehaviour. Shindou speaks casually without realizing how big of a deal going to Gessen school is to other people, while he seems that it was another school that he might enter.
"Gessen? He looked like someone who would cause problems rather than conform there. I'll give him about 3 months, and he's out of that school." the man thought. He showed no negative tendencies when speaking to him, but it may be a camouflage to things inside Shindou.
"What other school does this caretaker open his doors for you? What kind of connection does he have?" the man asked.
"Well, he can't open any simple door for me. Given his experience with the schools and my records, it might prove difficult. Although, he said he was having a meeting with one of the principals in a couple of days in hopes that they will accept me." Shindou claimed.
"Which school are you referring to?" the man asked.
"The school is called Han-" before he could finish, a phone was ringing loudly, stopping the conversation. The sound was quite loud, and the customers were looking at both Shindou and the man. Their gaze says, "Answer the damn phone! We don't want to be bothered." Shindou notices the noise coming from the man's pocket and points it out to him.
The man quickly picks up on this and grabs his phone from his pocket. The man bowed to apologize to the people that we were eating. He picks up his phone to answer his caller. Shindou went back to eating until the man finished his call.
"Hello. I'm still eating, man."
"..."
"So he has started his move, huh? Faster than I predicted."
"..."
"There is no change in the plan. I want him to know I have returned to this town to overthrow him."
"..."
"Yeah, see you later."
The man put his phone back in his pocket. He finished his bowl of gyudon quickly and put the money on the table, indicating that he had finished eating. Shindou was looking at the man as the man was going to leave.
"Something important came up?" Shindou predicted.
"Nah. I want to go home. Just meeting up with old friends, and they were wild in conversation." the man rants, and it chuckles Shindou a little.
"It's great to have friends, right?" Shindou asked with a smile, and the man just nodded to his question.
"My name is Shindou. How about you?" Shindou asked another question to the man.
"Soda. The name's Soda." Soda said his name to Shindou. Soda then waves to Shindou, and Shindou waves back at him. Soda then exits the Gyudon restaurants, and Shindou just goes back to eating his food. Shindou notices that Soda's eyes were the eyes of a person on his last ride, and he wanted to leave a legacy to him. Shindou only could smile and just goes back eating the additional gyudon that Soda gave him for free.
"This city is getting interesting day by day." Shindou muttered to himself as he grins.
After exiting the restaurants, Soda slowly walked towards the city park near a bridge. He then spotted 14 people standing in the park. All of them were talking, playing cards and doing other activities, but as soon as Soda arrived on the scene, everyone quickly readied themselves while the ones playing cards quickly put their cards away and stood firm.
"Good evening, Sir!" They shout loudly and bow to Soda.
"Are you guys ready? You know we are going to fight?" Soda questioned the people that were in the park, and none of them spoke out. They knew what they were signing up for.
"Alright! Let's fight Gessen and take back our Chronicle!" He declared.
