(The Opening Theme Plays) (Play Dance In The Game by ZAQ)

Tsukasa lay in the grass, his eyes closed as the sun beat down on his face. He let out a contented sigh and let his mind wander. He thought about his friends, his goals, and the path he was taking in the academy.

Suddenly, he heard a voice. "Hey there, what are you doing all alone?" Tsukasa opened his eyes to see a girl with split dyed hair of blue and black standing over him. She was smiling brightly.

"I'm just taking a break," Tsukasa said, sitting up. "Who are you?"

"I'm Mizuki," the girl said, still smiling. "I'm the student council president here at the academy. I was just making my rounds and saw you here by yourself."

Tsukasa raised an eyebrow. "Student council president? That sounds important."

Mizuki laughed. "Well, I don't know about that. I'm just trying to do my part in making this academy a better place for everyone."

Tsukasa nodded, impressed. "That's a noble goal. I'm Tsukasa, by the way."

"Nice to meet you, Tsukasa," Mizuki said, offering her hand to shake. "Say, I don't think I've seen you around before. Are you new here?"

Tsukasa chuckled. "No, I've been here for a while now. I just tend to keep to myself."

Mizuki nodded, understanding. "Well, I'm glad I ran into you. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to come find me."

Tsukasa smiled, grateful for the offer. "Thanks, Mizuki. I'll keep that in mind."

As Mizuki walked away, Tsukasa couldn't help but feel a sense of growth. He realized that he had been isolating himself and not taking advantage of the resources and connections available to him. Maybe it was time for him to start branching out and making new friends.

With that thought in mind, Tsukasa got up and headed back to his dorm, feeling a newfound sense of purpose.

The scene opens with Mizuki leading Tsukasa to meet the rest of the student council. As they walked down the hall, Tsukasa could sense the tension in the air. It was clear that the student council was a powerful force within the academy.

Mizuki introduced Tsukasa to the other members of the council: Ryo, the strict and no-nonsense president; Kei, the cheerful and bubbly vice president; and Shiro, the quiet and stoic treasurer. Each member seemed to have their own unique personality and strengths.

Tsukasa couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated by the council, but he didn't let it show. Instead, he tried to make small talk and get to know them better.

After a few minutes, Mizuki excused herself and Tsukasa was left alone with the council. It was then that he noticed something strange about them. Their eyes seemed to glimmer in the dim light of the hallway, and their movements were almost robotic.

Before Tsukasa could ask what was going on, the scene shifted to Koji and Taro hanging out in their room. The mood was much more light-hearted than the previous scene.

Koji and Taro were playing video games and laughing as they competed against each other. Tsukasa walked in and joined them, and the three of them spent the rest of the evening hanging out and having fun.

Tsukasa couldn't help but feel relieved after the tense encounter with the student council. Being with his friends helped him forget about his worries and just enjoy the moment.

The battle between Kiyoshi and Kazuhiko was intense, with both sides unleashing powerful mana attacks at each other. However, Kazuhiko was proving to be too strong for Kiyoshi, who was struggling to keep up.

As the battle continued, Kazuhiko suddenly stopped and looked bored. "This is getting tedious. I think I'll leave now," he said, before turning around and walking away.

Kiyoshi was confused by Kazuhiko's sudden departure, but he didn't have time to dwell on it. He knew that he needed to come up with a new plan to destroy the warrior's academy.

Later that night, Kazuhiko met up with Kiyoshi, Fujishi, and Ryosuke in a dark alleyway.

"I'm in," Kazuhiko said, with a determined look in his eyes.

Kiyoshi grinned. "Good. With your strength, we'll be unstoppable. Our plan to destroy the warrior's academy will finally come to fruition."

Kazuhiko nodded. "I know. And with my connections, we'll have the support we need to make it happen."

The group then discussed their plan in detail, outlining the steps they would take to bring down the academy once and for all. They knew it wouldn't be easy, but they were determined to see it through.

As they parted ways, Kazuhiko couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for what was to come. He was ready to do whatever it took to achieve their goal, even if it meant sacrificing everything.

Meanwhile, back at the academy, Tsukasa, Koji, and Taro were hanging out in the courtyard, enjoying the warm evening air.

Tsukasa couldn't shake the feeling that something big was about to happen. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he knew that the calm before the storm was over, and a new challenge was on the horizon.

"Hey, guys," he said, breaking the silence. "I have a feeling things are about to get a lot crazier around here. We need to be prepared for whatever comes our way."

Koji and Taro nodded in agreement. They knew that Tsukasa was right, and they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

The sun was high in the sky as Tsukasa and his friends gathered in the courtyard to train. They had set up several targets for practice and were working on their precision and accuracy with their mana attacks.

Meanwhile, in a secluded area of the campus, Kiyoshi and his group were gathered, hatching a plan to destroy the academy once and for all. Kazuhiko, the leader of the group, was outlining the details of the operation.

"As soon as we have enough support, we'll launch a full-scale assault on the academy," Kazuhiko said. "We'll take out the students, the faculty, and anyone else who stands in our way."

Kiyoshi and the others nodded in agreement. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and they were eager to see their plan come to fruition.

Back in the courtyard, Tsukasa and his friends were deep in training. They were all sweating profusely and pushing themselves to their limits.

"Come on, guys! We can do this!" Tsukasa shouted, firing off another mana attack at the targets.

Koji grinned, determined to keep up with his friend. "You're right, Tsukasa! Let's give it all we've got!"

As they continued to train, little did they know that a dark cloud was looming over the academy, and that their lives were about to be turned upside down.

As the lecture droned on, Tsukasa sat at his desk, deep in thought. He had been considering joining the student council for a while now. It would be a chance for him to gain more experience and knowledge, as well as a way to help out the school.

Just as he was about to make up his mind, the door to the classroom suddenly opened, and a girl with long, curly hair and a confident stride walked in. Tsukasa's eyes widened in recognition - it was Himiko, the student council president.

"Excuse me for interrupting, sensei," she said with a polite bow. "I'm here to speak with Tsukasa."

The rest of the class turned to look at Tsukasa, who felt his face growing hot with embarrassment. What did the president want with him?

As Himiko made her way to his desk, Tsukasa's friends whispered among themselves, clearly intrigued. Taro leaned in close to Tsukasa.

"What do you think she wants?" he whispered.

Tsukasa shrugged. "I have no idea."

Himiko reached his desk and gave him a warm smile. "Tsukasa, I've heard a lot about you from your fellow classmates. I think you would make a great addition to the student council."

Tsukasa's eyes widened. "Me? Really?"

Himiko nodded. "Yes, we're always looking for talented and driven individuals like yourself. Of course, it's up to you if you want to join. But I do hope you'll consider it."

Tsukasa hesitated, his mind racing. On one hand, he was flattered that the president had noticed him and thought he was capable. On the other hand, he wasn't sure if he was ready for such a responsibility.

His friends watched him anxiously, waiting for his decision.

After a moment of thought, Tsukasa spoke up. "I'll think about it. Thank you for considering me, Himiko-san."

Himiko nodded and gave him a small bow before turning to leave the classroom. As she walked out, Tsukasa's friends bombarded him with questions.

"What did she want?"

"Are you going to join the student council?"

Tsukasa smiled wryly. "I'm not sure yet. But it's something to think about."

As he settled back into his seat, Tsukasa couldn't shake the feeling that his life was about to change - whether he joined the student council or not. Meanwhile, little did he know that Kiyoshi and his group were planning something big, and their plan would have devastating consequences for the academy.

As Tsukasa walked away, Koji chased after him, concern etched on his face. "Hey, Tsukasa," he called out, "what's going on? You can talk to me, you know that."

Tsukasa let out a deep sigh before turning to face Koji. "It's just...I don't know what to do," he said, his voice laced with frustration. "On one hand, I want to join the student council and make a difference. But on the other hand, I don't want to leave our group behind."

Koji put a hand on Tsukasa's shoulder, trying to comfort him. "I understand how you feel," he said. "But you have to do what's best for you, not just for us. We'll always be here for you no matter what."

Tsukasa nodded, a small smile forming on his face. "Thanks, Koji. I really appreciate your support." He paused for a moment before continuing. "I'll think about it some more and make a decision soon. But for now, let's focus on our training."

Koji grinned, glad to see Tsukasa in better spirits. "You got it, buddy. Let's get stronger together."

As they walked back to their training area, Tsukasa couldn't help but feel grateful for Koji's unwavering support. He knew that no matter what happened, he could always count on his best friend to be there for him.

As Taro, Yui, Kojika, Arisu, Botan, and Hana were walking through the academy, they noticed that Koji was sitting by himself, staring off into the distance.

"Huh, that's weird," Taro remarked. "I've never seen Tsukasa without Koji."

"Yeah, they're always together," Yui added.

Kojika approached Koji and asked him, "Hey, where's Tsukasa?"

Koji sighed heavily and shook his head. "He's joined the student council."

The others were taken aback. "What? Why would he do that?" Arisu asked.

"I don't know," Koji replied, looking worried. "He's been acting strange lately, and now this..."

Meanwhile, Tsukasa was in the student council's office, seated across from the student council president, Himiko.

"Tsukasa, we're glad you decided to join us," Himiko said, a sly smile on her face.

Tsukasa nodded, feeling conflicted. He had joined the student council in hopes of finding a way to protect his friends and the academy, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he had made a grave mistake.

Mizuki, another student council member, leaned forward and said, "We're going to need your strength, Tsukasa. There are powerful enemies out there who want to destroy the academy, and we need all the help we can get."

Tsukasa clenched his fists, feeling a surge of anger. "I'll do whatever it takes to protect the academy," he said through gritted teeth.

Mizuki and the other student council members exchanged knowing glances. They were pleased with how easily Tsukasa had fallen under their control.

Back outside, Koji and the others were still discussing Tsukasa's sudden decision to join the student council when they saw Tsukasa approaching them.

"Tsukasa, what's going on?" Kojika asked.

"I've joined the student council," Tsukasa replied, his tone serious.

Koji's expression turned to one of concern. "Are you sure about this, Tsukasa? I don't want you to get hurt."

Tsukasa simply shook his head. "I have to do this, Koji. For the academy and for us."

The others nodded, still uncertain about Tsukasa's decision, but supporting him nonetheless. As they walked away, however, Koji couldn't shake the feeling that something was very wrong.

Tsukasa walked alongside the student council members, feeling a sense of unease in the pit of his stomach. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he was making a mistake, but he didn't want to back out now. He had made a commitment and he didn't want to let them down.

As they walked through the corridors of the academy, Tsukasa couldn't help but notice how different the atmosphere was. It was as if the shadows were creeping in, engulfing everything in their path. The students that they passed by seemed to cower in fear as they walked past, which only added to the ominous feeling that Tsukasa had.

He tried to make small talk with the other members, but their responses were short and cold. It was as if they were deliberately trying to make him feel uncomfortable. Tsukasa wondered if he had made the right decision in joining the student council. He felt like he was in over his head, and he didn't know how to get out of it.

As they reached the end of the hallway, they stopped in front of a large set of double doors. One of the members, a tall and imposing figure, opened the doors and motioned for Tsukasa to enter.

Tsukasa took a deep breath and stepped inside. The room was dark and musty, and Tsukasa could barely make out the shapes of the other members who were standing in the shadows. He felt like he was walking into a trap.

"Welcome, Tsukasa," a voice echoed through the room. It was Himiko, the student council president.

Tsukasa couldn't see her face, but he could feel her eyes on him. He knew that he was being scrutinized.

"We are glad to have you on board," she continued. "You have much potential, and we will help you unlock it."

Tsukasa couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. He didn't like the sound of that.

"However," Himiko continued, "we expect complete loyalty from our members. If you ever betray us or try to leave, there will be consequences."

Tsukasa gulped. He knew that he was in too deep now. He didn't know what he was getting himself into, but he knew that he had to see it through. For better or for worse.

The scene opens with Tsukasa walking through the academy halls, his usual group of friends nowhere in sight. He's dressed in his student council uniform, the familiar red and gold contrasting with his usual casual attire.

As he walks, he can feel the stares and whispers of his classmates, all curious about his sudden change in behavior. Tsukasa tries to ignore them, but the weight of their expectations and his own doubts are heavy on his shoulders.

Finally, he arrives at the student council room and steps inside. The other members greet him with smiles, but Tsukasa can't bring himself to return them. He knows what he's given up by joining them, and it's eating away at him.

Later, in the evening, Tsukasa sits alone in his dorm room, his thoughts a jumbled mess. He remembers his friends, the times they've shared together, and how he's pushed them away for the sake of power and control.

Tsukasa's mind is in turmoil, torn between his loyalty to the student council and his love for his friends. He knows he can't have both, and it's tearing him apart.

In the end, Tsukasa makes his decision. He knows what he must do, even if it means losing everything he's ever cared about. He resolves to push his friends away for good, to cut all ties and never look back.

As he lies down in his bed, Tsukasa can't help but feel a sense of loss and regret. But he knows there's no turning back now. The student council is his future, and his past is just a memory.

As Koji and Taro engaged in their friendly spar, the rest of their friends watched intently, cheering them on. The students in their classes had gathered around, intrigued by the display of strength and skill. It was all in good fun until Tsukasa and the other student council members walked in.

Koji was the first to approach Tsukasa, hoping to talk to him, but Tsukasa simply walked past him without a word. Koji was stunned, not understanding why his best friend was acting this way. The other student council members followed Tsukasa, and as they passed by, Koji noticed the coldness in their eyes. He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Taro noticed the change in atmosphere and decided to end the spar. He approached Koji, trying to console him, but Koji was still in shock. Yui, Kojika, Arisu, Botan, and Hana gathered around, concerned for their friend.

"What's going on, Koji?" Yui asked, worried.

"I don't know," Koji replied, shaking his head. "It's like he's a completely different person now that he's in the student council."

Kojika spoke up, "Maybe we should try talking to him. Maybe there's something going on that we don't know about."

"Maybe," Taro agreed, "but it's not going to be easy. He's changed, and not for the better."

The group fell into a heavy silence as they watched Tsukasa and the other student council members leave. They knew something was wrong, but they didn't know what to do about it. Koji couldn't help but feel a sense of dread settle in his stomach, as if something terrible was about to happen.

The scene opens up in the student council office, with Tsukasa sitting in a chair, surrounded by the other council members. The two guys are named Satoshi and Tatsuya, while the four girls are Ayumi, Natsumi, Rina, and Emi.

Himiko starts the conversation, "Tsukasa, we're glad you decided to join us. As a member of the student council, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of this academy."

Tsukasa nods, "I understand. I want to make a difference."

Mizuki leans forward, "That's the spirit. But you should know that being a member of the student council isn't just about making speeches and attending meetings. There will be times when you'll have to make tough decisions that will affect the entire academy."

Tsukasa nods again, "I'm ready for the challenge."

Satoshi interjects, "Speaking of tough decisions, we've been discussing the issue of the upcoming tournament. As you know, the winner of the tournament will receive a wish from the school."

Tatsuya continues, "But we've been getting pressure from certain groups to cancel the tournament altogether."

Ayumi chimes in, "They're saying that the tournament is too dangerous, and that we're putting the students' lives at risk."

Natsumi adds, "But we've also received support from other groups who say that the tournament is a tradition, and that cancelling it would be a mistake."

Rina says, "We're at a crossroads here. We need to make a decision, and we need to make it soon."

Emi concludes, "That's why we brought you here, Tsukasa. We want your input. What do you think we should do?"

Tsukasa looks around at the council members, considering the weight of their decision. "I think we should hold the tournament, but with extra safety precautions. We can't let fear stop us from moving forward."

Himiko nods, "That's a wise decision. We'll take your input into account when we make our final decision."

Tsukasa feels a sense of relief that he was able to contribute to the conversation, but also a sense of responsibility knowing that his decision could impact the lives of the students at the academy. He exits the student council office, deep in thought.

The group of friends, Koji, Taro, Yui, Kojika, Arisu, Botan, and Hana walked together down the school hallway, still discussing Tsukasa's recent behavior towards them. They were confused and worried about their friend, and they couldn't understand why he had been acting so distant lately.

As they walked, they noticed that the school was abuzz with excitement. It seemed that a tournament was going to be held soon, and everyone was talking about it. Koji, Taro, and the others were interested, but they couldn't help but wonder what Tsukasa would think about it.

Meanwhile, Tsukasa was meeting with Himiko, asking her if it was okay for him to participate in the tournament. She gave him the green light, and Tsukasa left feeling a little bit more at ease. He had been feeling restless lately, and he hoped that participating in the tournament would help him clear his head.

The scene cut to the day after, where the entire school had been informed about the upcoming tournament. The excitement was palpable, and everyone was eager to see who would emerge as the champion. Koji, Taro, Yui, Kojika, Arisu, Botan, and Hana were all discussing the tournament as well, but they couldn't help but wonder what Tsukasa's thoughts were on it.

Little did they know, Tsukasa was already planning his strategy for the tournament. He was determined to win, not just for himself, but for the sake of the school and his friends. However, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for distancing himself from his friends. He hoped that they would understand why he had to do what he did.

Kiyoshi, Fujishi, Suna, Ryosuke, and Kazuhiko were all gathered in their hideout, discussing their plans for taking down the Warrior's Academy.

"We need to strike them hard and fast," Kiyoshi said firmly. "We can't give them any time to prepare or mount a counterattack."

"I agree," Fujishi chimed in. "But we also need to be careful. We can't afford to make any mistakes."

Suna nodded in agreement. "We need to gather as much intel as possible before we make our move. That way, we can anticipate their every move."

Ryosuke leaned forward, his expression determined. "And we need to hit them where it hurts. Take out their strongest fighters, their best teachers, their most valuable resources. If we can cripple them in one fell swoop, it'll be much easier to finish them off."

Kazuhiko, who had been listening quietly until now, finally spoke up. "I have a few contacts within the school who might be willing to help us. They're just as fed up with the way things are run as we are. With their help, we might be able to pull this off."

Kiyoshi nodded. "That's good to hear. But we still need to be careful. We don't want anyone to get hurt."

Fujishi sighed. "It's going to be a tough fight, that's for sure."

"But it's a fight worth having," Suna said with a small smile. "We need to stand up for what we believe in, even if it means going against the rules."

The group fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts. They all knew that the road ahead would be long and difficult, but they were determined to see it through. They had to succeed, for their own sakes and for the sake of everyone else who had suffered under the school's oppressive rule.

As Mizuki led Tsukasa to the cafeteria, she began to speak, "The tournament's name is the Ultimate Warrior's Tournament, Tsukasa. It's the most prestigious event held by our school every year."

Tsukasa nodded, his mind elsewhere. He couldn't help but feel a sense of unease, knowing that he had distanced himself from his friends. Meanwhile, Koji and the others walked towards the cafeteria as well. Kojika, Arisu, and Botan were sweating, having just finished their training for the tournament.

"Hey, where's Tsukasa?" Koji asked.

"He's probably with the student council," Taro replied.

As they walked, Kojika noticed something odd, "Hey, guys, have you noticed that Tsukasa's been acting strange lately?"

"Yeah, he's been avoiding us," Hana said.

The group walked into the cafeteria, where they found Kojika, Arisu, and Botan getting into a small sparring match. Meanwhile, Tsukasa sat with the other student council members, eating silently. He didn't even glance over at his former friends.

Koji noticed Tsukasa and decided to approach him. "Tsukasa, can we talk?" he asked.

But Tsukasa ignored him, walking past him without a word.

Koji grabbed Tsukasa's shoulder, turning him around. "What's going on, man? Why are you acting like this?"

Tsukasa shook his head, "I'm sorry, Koji. I can't talk right now."

Koji's worry turned to frustration as he exclaimed, "What do you mean you can't talk? We're supposed to be best friends!"

Tsukasa's eyes narrowed, "Things change, Koji. You should know that by now."

Their argument caught the attention of those around them, including the other student council members. Mizuki walked over, sensing the tension.

"Is everything okay?" she asked.

Tsukasa nodded, "Yeah, everything's fine."

But Koji wasn't convinced, "No, it's not fine. Tsukasa's been acting like a completely different person lately. What's going on?"

Tsukasa's face turned serious, "I've made a decision, Koji. I'm going to participate in the Ultimate Warrior's Tournament, and I'm going to win."

Koji's eyes widened, "What? Why? You've never been interested in that kind of thing before."

Tsukasa's expression darkened, "I have my reasons."

Their argument turned physical as Tsukasa shoved Koji away from him. Koji stumbled back, ready to defend himself if necessary.

"Tsukasa, what's gotten into you?" he asked.

But Tsukasa didn't answer. Instead, he lunged forward, aiming a punch at Koji's face. Koji blocked it easily, but the two began to exchange blows.

Their friends watched in shock as the two best friends fought each other. It was clear that Tsukasa's personality had changed drastically, and no one knew why.

The fight ended as quickly as it started, with Tsukasa walking away from Koji, leaving him on the ground.

"I'm sorry, Koji," Tsukasa said before walking out of the cafeteria.

Koji lay on the ground, his thoughts in turmoil. What had happened to his best friend? And what was going on with the Ultimate Warrior's Tournament?
