Suzuran High School is in midst of the freshmen war/tournament with eight guys left in including Hana Tsukishima and cold blooded, Shigeru Amachi who has no respect for anyone, including his upperclassmen. Instead of proceeding with the tournament, Shigeru swiftly defeats the remaining contenders on his own, leading to a one-on-one battle with Hana. Surprisingly, the fight is over in a blink of an eye, with Hana claiming the championship. However, Hana instinctively knows that him and Shigeru are just about equal strength and that the two will be facing each other in the future for a fierce battle. As Hana beomes the champion, he goes around campus formally introducing himself to the different power factions in the school. Saburo Hanazawa envisions Hana to become the first true leader of the school. He instructs Hana to fight with Guriko Hanaki, the toughest man on campus who has even defeated Saburo hiself as a rite of passage to a true champion. In order to motivate Hana, Saburo makes Guriko sound like an evil, perverted character who sells drugs on campus. Burning with a sense of justice, Hana finds Guriko and challenges him to a fight, soon to realize Guriko's awesome might
