"Isen is calling us to the press room. Let's leave the trays in the cafeteria and then go to the press room." Remi stood up after saying that.

John looked into Remi's face without reacting.

"Come on, Isen is waiting for us in the press room." Remi said with a smiley face.

John noticed something, it's been a long time since he saw Remi smiling so cheerfully.

'I still have a reason to be in this school' John thought

Wellston High - 05.08.20XX

After leaving their trays in the cafeteria, John and Remi made their way to the press room, where Isen had summoned them.

"Do you know why you called us?" John asked

"I don't know. He just told find you and come to the press room." Remi replied

"Let's go then." John answered and they came to the corridor where the press room was.

As they approached the press room, a familiar face emerged from the room.

"See you later then." After Juni said goodbye to those in the press room and left the room, she saw John and Remi in front of her.

"A-ah, see you later." Juni panicked and walked away.

"She's still afraid of you huh?" Remi said

"I get it, she was the Joker's first victim, after all." John said and the two of them entered the press room together.

"Remi, John, you're finally here. There's something I want to show you." Isen greeted Remi and John.

"What's that?" John asked

"Look at this. I'm sure you'll be interested." Isen said and handed the two of them a piece of paper.

After John took the paper and looked at it, he saw that the top 10 students in the school were lined up on the paper. Not just their names or abilities, but also detailed information on the list. Height, weight, date of birth, etc.

1 - John

2 - Remi

3 - Isen

4 - Jeremy

5 - Luana

6 - Cody

7 - Lloyd

8 - Belen

9 - Samantha

10 - Nick

"Impressive. Where did you get this information, Isen?" Remi asked

"Well, about that..." Isen stammered, trying to answer the question.

"Isen, this information was supposed to be kept confidential by the school. Don't tell me you got into the school's database." Remi asked with a slightly angry expression.

"I'm sorry ok. I won't do it again. But I had to look at this information." Isen apologized

"You should stop infiltrating schools' databases, Isen. It could end badly for you." John warned Isen.

"Anyway, it's done. Now, Isen, tell us why you're showing us this information?" John asked as if giving an order.

"There's no reason, I just wanted to know about the school." Isen lied

"Isen, tell me the real reason." John warned

"Okay, okay. Honestly, I don't want to be Jack. After looking at this list, I thought maybe you'd pick someone else over me. Like that Jeremy guy." Isen said the real reason

"Isen, look, I don't want to be King either. But right now there is no one at the school that we can trust and turn over. As you can see, there is no one in the top 10 we know from last year. We can't entrust the school to people we don't trust." John said

"Besides, that Jeremy guy, I had a meeting with him. Talking about his demeanor, Arlo- no, he'll definitely be a worse King than I used to be. We can't trust him for now." John continued

"So you say it's that bad," Isen said

"This Jeremy guy is stronger than I was when I started high school, and he's a freshman in high school. And he's also the only freshman on the list, but he's ranked #4. That kid could end Wellston in the future." John said worriedly

"So what are you going to do about it?" Isen asked

"I'll find a way." John replied

"Now Isen, tell us why you don't want to be Jack." John changed the subject.

"Actually, John, I got an invitation from Agwin high school this morning for Turf War." Isen said

"And you wanted to help me find another Jack to disagree with." John said

Isen nodded

"It's something I don't want either. Can't we refuse?" John asked

"No. Last time, in the fight between the two schools, our side broke the rules, Agwin won a rematch at any time they want. They also wanted to use this right as soon as they learned that the two strongest students in the school, Seraphina and Arlo, had left the school. It seems. They don't know about you yet." Isen explained

"GOSH! Did Seraphina's parents have to disenroll her? If she were here now, Remi would join the fray as Jack." Isen and the rest of the school didn't know what happened at the beginning of last vacation, not even Vaughn.

"There's nothing we can do. We'll have to attend. When?" John asked

"Tomorrow after school." Isen replied

"Okay, I'll be ready then. Who is the school's healer?" John asked

"Still Elaine. I'll call her" Remi replied

"Well, see you tomorrow then." John said and left the press room

Wellston High - 06.08.20XX

At a stop at the city's train station, the crew of John, Remi, Isen, and Elaine were waiting for the train to go to the Turf War field.
