Chapter 19 - ACT 2 – CHAPTER 18: The Four Shadows

Northbridge College – War Room

Lucas leaned back in his chair, arms folded. His tone was cold and final.

Lucas: "I ordered the other leaders of East University to leave."

Andrei: "Good… good."

From the far side of the room, four silhouettes stood like statues in the shadows.

Andrei: "Take over East University."

Four voices in unison: "Yes, sir."

East University – Student Council Room

Louise: "Look, whatever we do, we are still no match against Northbridge. There's too much to handle."

Alias: "She's right. Even their non-leaders are lethal."

East University – Hallway

Students moved between classes, chatting casually—until someone spotted an unfamiliar uniform.

East Student: "Hey, you're not from here—"

POW! A single punch dropped him to the floor.

Standing over him was Raul, one of Northbridge's four second-in-commands. Tall, broad-shouldered, and radiating menace, he moved down the hallway, flooring anyone in his way with brutal, precise strikes.

East University – Stairwell

BOOM. Heavy footsteps echoed as Ramon, another of the four, climbed the stairs, his knuckles already bloodied. Anyone blocking his path was shoved aside—or smashed into the wall.

East University – Library

Silence broke as a table crashed over. Brando, muscular and sharp-eyed, ripped books off shelves, sending students scrambling. His strikes were clean and devastating—every movement calculated to humiliate his victims.

East University – Outdoor Field

On the field, Tomas toyed with a group of East U athletes, knocking them down one by one while smirking.

Tomas: "You call this a school? Pathetic."

Back to the Meeting Room

Louise: "What do we do now?"

Cy: "We can't just sit around, right?"

Axel: "No—"

The door burst open.

Student: "We're under attack!"

Alias: "What?! Who?"

East University – Third Floor

Ramon brushed off his hands after dropping another student.

Ramon: "This is boring. All of East University is weak. I'll find the remaining leaders—"

A shadow moved in the corner.

POW! A single blow sent Ramon skidding across the hallway.

Ramon: "Ugh… what the hell was that?"

Stepping forward was Ken, one of the Legendary Five from Axel's high school crew, known for his raw strength.

Ken: "Just enrolled here… and there's already trouble."

East University – Ground Floor

Raul: "I don't know you… you're not on our record."

Across from him stood Sean, another of the Legendary Five, infamous for his blinding speed.

In a flash, Sean disappeared from sight.

Raul: "Tch… you're fast."

East University – Library

Brando smirked as a student calmly adjusted his glasses.

Brando: "Looks like we have someone interesting here."

Alex, the brains of the Legendary Five, closed his book.

Alex: "Let's get this over with. You're interrupting my studies."

East University – Outdoor Field

Tomas cracked his neck, ready to punch another freshman.

A voice rang out from the bleachers: "Hey, hey, hey… what do we have here?"

It was Josh, the wildest member of the Legendary Five, notorious for dirty tactics and loving every second of a brawl.

Tomas: "Who are you?"

Josh: "This school's fun, huh?"

Josh lunged forward, a feral grin on his face.
