The next day dawned bright and sunny over Hanaka High. The campus buzzed with life, classes were in session, a few students hurried through the corridors after arriving late, while others were waiting outside the classrooms.
Inside one of the classrooms, the teacher was in the middle of a lecture, holding the students' full attention. Among them sat Masaru, Toru, and Rukia, all focused quietly on the lesson.
Just then, the door slid open and the principal stepped into the classroom, and the students immediately rose to their feet, greeting them respectfully.
The principal smiled warmly. "Good afternoon, everyone. Please, have a seat," he said, gesturing gently for them to settle down.
The students sat back in their chairs, their attention fixed on him as the room grew quiet.
Maintaining his pleasant smile, the principal continued, "As you all know, yesterday the youngsters of our city, the U17 Tokyo Wolves won the JFC for the second time in history."
