The clacking of heels from what seemed to be a sea of people
resounded in the packed corridor
creating a sound like that of a thousand marbles falling to the floor-
students.

Amidst the busy crowd, one boy stood out,
his height giving him away.

His dark eyes stared straight at where he wanted to go
with a dragonlike aura-
fierce, not one to back down.

He was determined, ready to fight one might say.
And that boy was none other than
ｋｕｒｏｓａｗａ ｒｙｕｕ.
