Chapter 1: When Paths First Cross

A restless night pulls Kazuya from his sleep and into the city streets, where a chance encounter forces him to act. After stopping a robbery, he meets Isame — a boy his age, new to the city and chasing a single goal: entry into the prestigious Gekai High. What begins as a brief meeting on a rooftop quickly reveals a shared future. While Kazuya dreams of facing strong opponents, Isame carries something far more important — an object he plans to use in the entrance exam. As Kazuya leaves with a casual promise to meet again, Isame’s expression hardens. Whatever that object is… it may change everything. Two paths cross under the city lights — and neither will remain the same.
