The plot was progressing rather different compared to what Narisa Zeno knew but he just followed through with it. The teacher had explained more about what was happening today. The students of Shinaku would be coming to Takimura and they were going to have a friendly fight.
Part of the duel between these two schools were because of an old grudge from decades ago. Even today, the two schools were at one another’s throat and the students also held a high dislike towards each other.
Takimura was huge, their school also focused highly on sports and other hobbies so the school had a huge stage that could fit a few thousand people.
Narisa Zeno looked at Seru Akita before looking at Tendou Yagami who was dozing off.
They were already at the stage, sitting on the chairs as they waited for Shinaku to arrive. Narisa Zeno had found a seat close to Seru Akita and Tendou Yagami.
Smiling to himself, Narisa Zeno leaned closer to Tendou Yagami as he whispered, “So, what are your thoughts so far?”
Tendou Yagami flinched from the sudden voice and turned his head to find Narisa Zeno close to him. He raised a brow as he asked, “About what?”
“You know, joining Lucifer?” Narisa Zeno asked, looking at Tendou Yagami to see his reaction.
Hearing the question, Tendou Yagami paused and thought about it. He didn’t dislike the thought of joining Lucifer. He knew that Narisa Zeno didn’t mistreat his members and he also knew that Lucifer rarely got into conflicts unless they have to.
Plus, it seemed like Narisa Zeno really wanted him to join. For what reasons, he didn’t know but there was something fishy about the way Narisa Zeno acted around him. He kept staring at him with eyes filled with gushy feelings in them. Tendou Yagami knew that Narisa Zeno was trying to hide it but it wasn’t going very well because Tendou Yagami was still able to see it.
Just as Tendou Yagami opened his mouth, the sound of footsteps were heard and the students of Takimura turned their heads in unison to look at the doors.
Shinaku’s students walked in, dressed in their red uniforms while Takimura students were more relaxed and merely wore everyday clothes.
From the start, there was already high tension at the way the students glowered at one another. As the Shinaku students took their seats in their half of the room, the only thing stopping the two schools from battling it out was because they weren’t allowed to do anything until the principals shook hands.

Narisa Zeno looked at Tendou Yagami whom returned back to looking at the stage and he could only shake his head with a light smile, patiently waiting for his answer. Narisa Zeno could wait, right now, he was next to that man and that’s all that mattered.
Two men walked onto the stage, one with a scar on his lips and another with a rather cocky smile. The two still looked young even in their late thirties, and even as they looked at one another, they couldn’t hide their animosity towards each other.
Narisa Zeno watched the man with a smile, his eyes filled with wary. But it wasn’t something bad, it was only because that man was his uncle. Narisa Fuchikawa, his father’s younger brother.
Narisa Fuchikawa looked at Shinaku’s principal, Toma Ushifuwa with a gentle smile plastered on his face, though it looked taunting as his eyes revealed ridicule. “Welcome, Ushifuwa.”
“Likewise. I assume everything has been well.” Toma Ushifuwa replied with his stoic face.
“Surely. Shall I explain the rules?” Narisa Fuchikawa asked, his eyes looking at Toma Ushifuwa, whom stood half a head shorter than him.
Toma Ushifuwa nodded his head without much care and Narisa Fuchikawa nodded as a teacher nearby handed him the mic.
“Hello, students. My name is Narisa Fuchikawa, Takimura’s principal. As you all know, every year we hold the school duel. This year is a bit different compared to the other years that we’ve done this, for all the students have been invited and not only the fourth year students. I will explain the rules roughly as it isn’t hard to follow.” Saying so, Narisa Fuchikawa turned his eyes and looked at Narisa Zeno and smirked a bit, jester within his eyes before he resumed his speech.
“The rules are simple. If you want to fight, you step onto the stage. Anyone can step up, no matter who you are and you can stay on the stage so long as you remain undefeated. If the opposing team can not win or no one on their team steps up after five minutes, then the one who remains on the stage will win. Only two people can remain on the stage. No weapons are allowed, only your body. Please keep the injuries to a minimum, I would rather not send any students to the emergency room.” Narisa Fuchikawa cocked his brows at Toma Ushifuwa as he said this.
And then finishing his speech, Narisa Fuchikawa walked over to Toma Ushifuwa as they shook hands and backed away, each to their own respectful side.
No one made the first move.
Narisa Zeno watched as a silent hush filled the room and he looked over to see what Tendou Yagami was doing only to be stunned. The man had already closed his eyes and dozed off in his chair. Suppressing a smile, Narisa Zeno turned his head as he finally found the first person to stand. Suon Karma.
Suon Karma walked onto the stage, hands in his pockets as he walked over to the center. A cheer was heard from Takimura. Cocking a brow, he asked, “Anyone? Or are you people too scared already?” With a smirk at the corners of his lips, he looked rather taunting as he looked at the people dressed in red.
A few grunts and noises were heard as those from Shinaku watched with an angry face. It wasn’t until one man finally stood up and headed for the stage that those of Shinaku relaxed the animosity and began cheering,
Suon Karma watched as the man, shorter than him, walked into the stage and stood in front of him. He smiled as he said, “Suon Karma.”
“Tadashi Nero.” Tadashi Nero didn’t look like he necessarily cared much about what was happening as he took off his glasses and placed it into the desk on the stage. Then he looked up at Suon Karma.
“3, 2 , 1, begin.” Toma Ushifuwa announced.
Suon Karma made the first move, his body moving within a blink of an eye as he swung his fist towards Tadashi Nero’s face. Tadashi Nero blocked the punch with his hands, sending a kick towards Suon Karma’s stomach.
Suon Karma let it hit him, recoiling back so that it wouldn’t hurt as much before he grabbed Tadashi Nero’s leg and swung him into the ground, a loud sound was heard as Tadashi Nero’s body slammed into the ground.
The sound successfully woke up Tendou Yagami as he opened one eye to see what disturbed his rest. Seeing that the fight had begun, he was about to doze off once more when he turned his head to see Narisa Zeno looking at him. He raised a brow as he asked, “You gonna go up there?”
Narisa Zeno watched as Tendou Yagami turned towards him, unable to hide a smile on his face as he replied, “Maybe, I’ll see what happens. If we’re close to losing then I’ll make my first move. And you, what are you going to do?”
“Me? I probably won’t join in.” Tendou Yagami merely said, scoffing at the end of his sentence.
“Really? If you join, I’m sure our school would win no matter what.” While saying this sentence, Narisa Zeno’s eyes unconsciously became clearer and the radiant smile on his face seemed to brighten.
Tendou Yagami watched in confusion as his heart began beating once more, speeding all the while, he was frozen in place. Again. It was happening again. Just who the heck was Narisa Zeno? No, why the heck was his heart acting like this?
[Make lead’s love meter is at 19%.]
As the two continued to converse, they unknowingly got closer and closer. Tendou Yagami hid the fact that his heart kept beating faster and faster with every little movement Narisa Zeno made. He was utterly confused but he still continued talking to Narisa Zeno and made sure he wasn’t going to do anything weird.
Seru Akita looked at the two conversing. Tilting his head, he couldn’t help but think that the two definitely knew each other. They seemed too close to not have known each other for a while now. It only made it more confusing since he also knew that the two only got acquainted today.
While conversing with Tendou Yagami, even though Narisa Zeno tried to hide the fact that he loved the man, his body was barely able to suppress his actions. Even then, he knew that Tendou Yagami was able to see that something was different too. But, he couldn’t help it. He missed him too much. Narisa Zeno just wanted to hug the man and embrace him tightly as he kissed him but he wasn’t able to do that.
Narisa Zeno turned his eyes a bit, trying to locate Tsukki Ren within the crowd to no avail. He should be hidden somewhere. The plot was already too different for Narisa Zeno to say anything for sure but using his guessing skills, he estimated that Tsukki Ren wouldn’t be doing anything here. Even though his first appearance was met with a lot of people, he gradually tried hiding himself from then on until he founded Panther.
Just as Narisa Zeno was going to reply to Tendou Yagami’s question, a voice made him stop and look at the stage.
Suon Karma had finally been knocked out after beating over more than fifteen people. The person whom had beat him was Yoku Shida.
Yoku Shida walked over to a mic before smiling as he said, “Zeno, get on up here. Were you going to hide the whole time or something? It’s been a while since we’ve last fought, don’t you want to have a go at me. I certainly want to have a go at you.”
Narisa Zeno’s eyes turned colder as he looked at Tendou Yagami and said, “I’ll be back. Let me deal with him first.”
Tendou Yagami watched as Narisa Zeno stood up, his mood totally different from a while ago.
Narisa Zeno walked onto the stage and everyone couldn’t help but keep quiet. Those from Takimura couldn’t help but fear for the unknown man whom had called a-forth Narisa Zeno. They could see that he looked rather mad too. Silently, they lit a candle for the unknown man.
Narisa Zeno passed by Narisa Fuchikawa whom smiled at him and he nodded his head, walking to the center and standing a meter away from him. “What?”
Yoku Shida smiled, “Not even a ‘how have you been’? How cruel.”
Narisa Zeno cocked his head, “Just hurry up and let me beat you up. I don’t have time for this.” As he said this, he cracked his knuckles, watching Yoku Shida’s face turn a shade of green.
“You-“
“3, 2, 1, begin.”
Narisa Zeno stalked over to the man, his eyes glinting. Well, time to vent the anger he had been holding back.
Cough. Lights candle for Yoku Shida. Thank you for the chapter @Shellyrill101!

Please stop using “whom” in the declarative sentences. It’s for questions only. Please edit it.
“N arisa Zeno looked at Seru Akita before looking at Tendou Yagami whom was dozing off.”
