Gangsters:Rise To The Top

The Opening Ceremony - Let The Game Begins

The morning sun bathed the Jengraimukh Academy grounds in a golden glow. The air buzzed with excitement as students filled the main stadium, dressed in their respective sports uniforms. Banners of different teams waved proudly in the wind, and loudspeakers played energetic music.

Today marked the beginning of the Annual Sports Week, and the entire academy had gathered for the grand opening ceremony.

The Opening Ceremony – A Grand Start

A massive stage stood at the center of the field, where the academy's principal, faculty members, and special guests had taken their seats. The crowd erupted in cheers as Miss Ananya Kutum stepped forward to give her speech.

She adjusted the mic and smiled. "Welcome, students, to the most awaited Annual Sports Week of Jengraimukh Academy! This is your time to prove yourselves—not just in combat, but in teamwork, endurance, and leadership. Winning a trophy is an achievement, but the true reward is the experience you gain and the bonds you strengthen."

The students clapped and cheered.

Miss Ananya continued, "And this year, we have something even more special—the selection of the Top Five S-Rank Students. Only the best of the best will earn this title. So give it your all, because every event counts towards proving your strength!"

The excitement in the stadium doubled.

Suddenly, the sky filled with colorful fireworks, marking the official beginning of the Sports Week!

The First Event: The 500m Sprint Race

The first event was the 500m sprint, where the fastest students would compete for the gold medal.

Students lined up at the starting line, each determined to win. Among them was Rihan, the Vice Leader of The Revolutionary Stars, known for his speed and agility.

Mri, standing in the crowd, smirked. "Looks like Rihan is serious about this one."

Ayang chuckled. "Of course. He's obsessed with proving that speed is better than strength."

The whistle blew, and the runners exploded forward with incredible speed. The entire crowd roared as Rihan effortlessly outpaced the others, crossing the finish line in first place!

"Winner: Rihan!" the announcer called.

The Revolutionary Stars erupted into cheers, celebrating their vice leader's dominant win.

Back at the Stands – Mri & Jasmine's Conversation

As the events continued, Mri sat on the metal bleachers, watching different sports unfold.

Jasmine arrived, holding a bottle of water. "Not competing in anything?" she asked, sitting beside him.

Mri stretched. "Not yet. Just watching for now."

Jasmine smirked. "That's new. I thought you loved fighting."

Mri chuckled. "Maybe. But I want to see how things play out first."

She nodded, then leaned forward, watching the ongoing combat trials. "The selection for the S-Rank students is coming soon. You're joining that, right?"

Mri didn't answer immediately. He had never cared about rankings, but this time, it felt different. He could sense that something big was coming.

Jasmine nudged him playfully. "Come on, don't pretend. You're aiming for it."

Mri sighed. "Maybe."

Jasmine laughed. "Well, I'll see you soon then. Maybe we'll fight each other."

She stood up, giving him a confident look before walking away.

Mri watched her go, his expression unreadable.

The Rest of the Day – More Wins, More Battles

The Sports Week continued with one thrilling event after another.

The 400m relay saw the Dragons claim a narrow victory.

The football match between The Black Wolves and Revolutionary Stars ended in a heated draw.

The Combat Challenge featured brutal one-on-one duels, leaving the crowd on edge.

With every event, the competition grew fiercer, and the tension rose.

End of Day 1 – Amai Gang's Next Move

As the sun set and students returned to their dorms, a shadowy figure stood near the back of the academy grounds.

A member of the Amai Gang spoke into a hidden earpiece. "Day one is over. Everything is in place."

A deep voice on the other end responded. "Good. Let them enjoy their victories. Soon, they won't know what hit them."

The figure smirked and disappeared into the darkness.

The real game was only just beginning.
