Before Competition

Yami was so happy to see Itsujo's school. It's based on fighting, not knowledge-based. If someone was studious, then he was gonna die here. At first, Yami didn't agree but watching Itsujo's passion for fighting he had to agree. Itsujo was 11 and he had to pass the entrance exam yet.

The entrance exam

Itsujo was ready for the exam. Yami and he arrived at the school gate. Many people gathered with their children at the school campus and so did he. Itsujo didn't know that the school had rules that divided the students into two groups - the lower was that the group of the lower standard clan and the higher, those who were in the top clan. The top clan didn't have to take the exam, it's for the lower class. To show their lower ability in their opinion. The exam had one rule and was that students had to activate the Robordo. Robordo was equipment that allowed one to explore their hidden powers and then had to try to activate them.

About one hour later, it's time to shine for Itsujo. But alas, Itsujo failed to operate the Robordo, in other means, he had failed in the entrance exam. But maybe there was no problem. Itsujo was from head family. So he would make it. But those who were from branch families were not allowed after failing the exam. But for Itsujo, he would definitely in the lower class and of course, those who were passed, had to take a written exam, and then if they really passed, they would go to the higher class but chances were little and more than half of them would later join the lower class and that was all the rules to enter into the school.

Life in the school

Itsujo was going to school daily. There every student had to practice their own martial art techniques. The martial arts were divided into two main themes - one was with Robordo to call a summon. It was called summon techniques. In that technique, students measured their power according to their summons, their summons were like anything; maybe a color or living things(except humans) or a disaster. But one could normally summon one thing. Itsujo was not that much attentive in the class. He had just one thing and that was the competition.

Itsujo with Haruzo

Itsujo and his classmates were level one and they gradually increased their levels.

One day, one of his classmates, named,Haruzo Shino, asked Itsujo, "Can I become your subordinate?" Itsujo was shocked and couldn't tell anything, he was acting like that he just didn't listen. Itsujo was introvert and he knew everything what they(his own family) did and after the incident with the small town (the town without any name), he became arrogant, ambitious(to protect his family), liked challenging, stubborn(even sometimes Yami had trouble to control) and without a doubt, was smart. So he neglected Haruzo but what Haruzo said afterward was another thing to be considered."I owe you. You saved me and my family's life in this incident. So i..."

Itsujo stopped him in the middle of their conversation and his eyes were probably like a dead-fish eye and eagerly said, "What incident?"

"The town incident 5 years ago," Haruzo replied with being shocked and happy cause he said something at last.

"My family was in there and they didn't get hit and thanks to you, I was saved out there. I saw you fighting out there and defeating the killer and ....", Haruzo added." Wait a minute. Did you see something after that?"

"Nah, I was passed out falling into the ground after seeing the blood". Haruzo replied laughingly while holding his hand into his head". " Pathetic". Itsujo said with his dead - eyes." Say something, "Haruzo said with his laughing face." It means we are your acquaintances, right." He added."we...?"Itsujo said being mad at him.Haruzo then showed him by his hand. There were three of them( one boy and two girls). Itsujo was shocked and tried to say something else, rather said being irritated, "Do what you want."

Meeting with the rivals

The higher and lower both met once a month at a training camp. They were rivals cause they would participate in the competition against each other. "And the last day of the month was fixed for meeting with those gormless, " Itsujo thought.Itsujo with Haruzo as well as his pals went to the camp together. Though Itsujo was irritated at first he had no other way cause he did agree. They were going to separately unlike their other classmates. And they didn't have to afraid of their teacher cause Itsujo beat him like his teacher,Mr.Zen was like a sandbag a few days ago. (Mr.Zen was a student of Yami ).

The camp

"Hey, what's up, my rival?" said Fuziro(higher class) with a cheerful appearance. Itsujo ignored him."You are ignoring me right now but I am going to win next time and of course, will kick your ass 70 times as you kick me as revenge."In your dream, dumbass fatty acid, "Itsujo thought.

Itsujo did meet with someone, he wanted to not meet there very badly. " I am gonna beat you,Itsujo. And then you have to apologize to Nata for what you did to her," said Ichizero. "Don't just say that way that just sounds something terrible. I just didn't save her rather saved my sister." Itsujo said with a cloudy face." It sounds like you just sacrificed my little sister to that beast, you coward." he added."I didn't mind, brother."Nata said being afraid. But nobody didn't hear her voice.

Haruzo said being angry, "What just did you say?" "What are you?Itsujo's slave?" Ichizero added. Everyone in the higher class began to laugh."Ichizero," said someone entering the hall.

Nishika(One of the girls from Haruzo's team and now in Itsujo's team ) said, "Ichi(one)zero or full zero and now only zero." And everyone in Itsujo's team was laughing except Itsujo and he said, " Right, zero?" And again everyone was laughing.Zero, no,Ichizero angrily screamed and replied, "Only Ichizero.

"Ichizero, we have no time for the losers," said Jeoy(from Suji clan and maybe one-third are from Suji clan in the higher class).Jeoy was the fighter everyone was talking. He had muscles except for his age and the killer appearance, Itsujo noticed. They left the camp.

Itsujo realized that if he had to form a team, then Haruzo and his pals would be good for the competition."Do you all able to activate the Robordo?" Itsujo said to Haruzo.Haruzo replied, "No, and that's why we are in the lower class but I am shocked to see you here. You did great in the battle. So.." "Okay, then I have no choice. You will be trained by my father and me. You all surely will come to my home and be ready for next month's competition.Bye."Haruzo and the other members realized, they were in the same team and were accepted. they didn't know Itsujo's feelings if they were accepted or not until now.

After being defeated by Itsujo, Mr. Zen had no respect, and all were gone after everyone left without asking anything and ignoring the supervisor for the camp(Mr. Zen) and sadly said to himself repeatedly, "Pathetic me being defeated by a small child. Pathetic me being defeated by a small....."And the door of the hall closed; probably had to spend the night there.

(Itsujo's team members - Haruzo Shino, Nishika Shino(Haruzo's baby sister,Rioko Fugi,Warren Fugi(Rioko's little brother)

Next day

Mr.Zen was an absent and black soldier(Itsujo's team name after registration) who would be trained by Yami. Everyone went Itsujo's home and Yami began to train them. During training,Rioko asked Yami, "How Itsujo can fight without Robordo? "We know that he could not operate Robordo but the incident we were in..." "You all will know in time, so don't worry,"Yami replied with a smile. " And never ever let Itsujo be alone." "we promise," everyone replied.

Yami trained them quite well and everyone could operate Robordo and could be brought a summon except Itsujo.

With their summon, their nicknames were -

Haruzo shino(nickname- black bull),Nishika Shino(Haruzo's baby sister(nickname-flower),Rioko Fugi(dragon),Warren Fugi(Rioko's little brother and nickname-copy and Itsujo(Dark))

They didn't know why Itsujo was called Dark.

A few days before the competition

Everyone was quite busy and as always after the camp, Mr.Zen was not present and rumored was about he was sick but no one cared. Fighters were coming from various clans across the country. The competition was quite big cause anyone could participate and that was announced a few days ago and that's why, everyone was nervous, especially the lower class but Itsujo as always was confident.Itsujo saw a team. It was called 'The Kara'.He became suspicious and tried to follow them. In the meantime,Haruzo appeared before him and the others.Itsujo was afraid to cause if they appeared before him, he didn't know what to do. With his current situation, he was definitely gonna lose if they really were from Kara. If they really were from Kara, then he had to say goodbye to everyone.
