Chapter 19: The Legends of Suzuran

Chat Group 19

Takiya Genji has joined the chat.

Serizawa Tamao has joined the chat.

Genji: Yo, Tamao, long time no see. How've you been?

Serizawa: laughing Genji! It's been a while. I've been good, man. What about you? Still raising hell?

Genji: grinning You know me. Can't stay out of trouble for long. But hey, I've been thinking a lot about Suzuran lately. Those were some wild times, huh?

Serizawa: smirking Yeah, Suzuran was something else. We went through hell back then, but it was worth it. Nothing beats the thrill of those fights, the rush of trying to take over the whole school.

Genji: nodding It was all about respect. Earning your place, and making sure no one forgets your name. We may not have fully unified Suzuran, but we damn sure left our mark.

Serizawa: laughing And we earned respect from everyone there. Especially after that final fight between us. Still feels like my ribs hurt from that.

Takiya and Serizawa share a brief pause, reminiscing about the times they had at Suzuran.

Genji: smirking Yeah, that fight was something. We almost tore the school apart. But after we settled things, it felt like the weight was lifted. Suzuran always needed that final showdown.

Serizawa: grinning I always respected you, Genji. It wasn't just about strength—it was about standing for something. Suzuran taught us that.

Suddenly, the chat notification sounds.

Hanazawa Subaru (Zetton) has joined the chat.

Zetton: Well, well, well, if it isn't the great Takiya Genji and Serizawa Tamao. You two talking about the good old days at Suzuran, huh?

Genji: raising an eyebrow Zetton? When did you sneak in here?

Serizawa: smirking Zetton! Didn't expect you to join us. What are you up to?

Zetton: laughing I heard you guys going on about your time at Suzuran, and I just had to jump in. You know, Suzuran didn't stop being crazy after you guys left. If anything, it got even wilder.

Genji: curious Oh yeah? Who stepped up after we left?

Zetton: smirking Bouya Harumichi. That guy was something else. You two thought you were tough, but Bouya? He was on a whole different level. He didn't care about ruling Suzuran or unifying it—he just loved to fight. Suzuran was more chaotic than ever with him around.

Serizawa: laughing Bouya, huh? I've heard of him. The guy who beat Rindaman, right?

Zetton: Yeah, that's the one. Bouya was like a storm—unpredictable and unstoppable. He fought anyone and everyone, but it wasn't about power for him. He just wanted to enjoy the fight. Suzuran's always been a warzone, but when Bouya was there, it was like the whole school was in a constant battle.

Genji: grinning Sounds like my kind of guy. I never did get to meet him.

Zetton: laughing Trust me, Genji, you would've liked him. And then there was Rindaman. You remember that name, don't you?

Serizawa: serious Oh yeah, I remember. Rindaman was the untouchable legend. The guy no one could beat.

Zetton: Exactly. Bouya's the only one who managed to give him a fight that even came close to a draw. But it wasn't just those two. After Bouya, Suzuran saw more legends rise—Guriko, Tsukishima Hana… Those guys were monsters in their own right.

Genji: impressed Guriko and Hana, huh? I've heard stories about them. What were they like?

Zetton: smiling Guriko was a street fighter through and through. He didn't care about Suzuran's reputation or unifying the school. He fought because he loved the thrill of it. And Hana? That guy was the closest anyone's come to truly unifying Suzuran. He didn't want to rule through fear or strength alone—he wanted to unite the hearts of the students.

Serizawa: thoughtfully That's different. Most guys just wanted to take over for their ego, but if Hana wanted to unify Suzuran in a real way… that's something.

Zetton: nodding Exactly. Hana wasn't like the rest of us. He fought for something bigger. He wanted to change Suzuran from the inside out. And in a way, he did. Even after he graduated, the school was never the same. But don't get me wrong—he wasn't all about peace and love. He could throw down with the best of them, and he earned his place as one of Suzuran's greatest.

Genji: grinning Sounds like Suzuran was still in good hands after we left.

Serizawa: laughing Yeah, seems like we missed out on some of the best fights.

Zetton: smirking You guys had your time, and you were legends in your own right. But Suzuran never stops. It keeps pushing people to their limits, forcing them to rise or fall. And the guys that came after you? They rose to the challenge, just like you did.

Genji: nodding I like that. Suzuran isn't just about one guy or one era. It's a constant cycle of strength, respect, and chaos.

Serizawa: thoughtfully That's what makes Suzuran special. It's not about winning or losing—it's about surviving. And the memories we made there, the battles we fought… they stay with you forever.

Zetton: smiling Exactly. Suzuran may be a school, but for all of us, it's a proving ground. And every generation that passes through leaves its mark, just like you two did.

Genji: grinning It's good to hear that Suzuran's still as wild as ever.

Serizawa: laughing Yeah, sounds like we left it in good hands.

Zetton: smirking Trust me, Suzuran will never change. There will always be guys like us ready to fight for their place, ready to leave their mark. And the legends will keep growing, long after we're gone.

Genji: raising a fist To Suzuran, then.

Serizawa: grinning To Suzuran.

Zetton: smiling To Suzuran.

The three of them share a moment of silence, remembering the battles, the friendships, and the chaos that shaped them. Suzuran may have been just a school, but it was also where they became legends.
