title: preparation for exams

Zeke, Jax, Erlik, Lucas, and Mikey gathered at Mikey's house the next day. They were in the spacious living room, books and study stuff all around them. They were full of hope and excitement, eagerly waiting for Honey to join them.

They all got down to studying with a newfound determination. When Honey arrived, she was like a ray of sunshine, filled with encouragement and unwavering support. She patiently explained tricky subjects, solved difficult math problems, and shared her study tips generously. Having her there lifted their spirits and showed them that studying could be fun with the right help.

Time seemed to slip away as they dedicated themselves to their studies, blending moments of deep concentration with bouts of shared laughter. With each passing hour, they grew increasingly confident about their upcoming exams. As the day drew to a close, they said their goodbyes, their hearts full of gratitude for Honey's invaluable help. They parted ways with a renewed sense of hope and optimism, ready to face their exams the following day.

During the exams, Zeke planned carefully, Jax crammed at the last minute, Erlik stayed calm and focused, Lucas surprisingly breezed through with ease, Mikey added humor to the stress, and Honey, the study expert, guided them. Despite their different approaches, they all finished the exams with determination

After a challenging week of exams, they gathered in their favorite park, enjoying the warm sun and relaxed atmosphere. They exchanged stories about tricky questions, funny test moments, and inspiring breakthroughs, filling the air with laughter. Despite different study approaches, they all valued the support and encouragement they had provided one another during the stressful week.

The next day, as Zeke, Jax, Erlik, and Mikey entered the school, they noticed a strange atmosphere. Students were murmuring among themselves, and tension hung in the air. Zeke, curious, turned to Jax and Erlik, asking why everyone seemed so on edge. Erlik clarified that the peculiar atmosphere stemmed from the fact that today marked the return of several prominent members of the "Red God" gang coming back to school, as their suspensions had come to an end. that's why everyone was abuzz with anticipation.

Zeke, not quite familiar with the term, asked once more, "Who exactly is this 'Red God' gang?" Erlik replied, "The 'Red God' gang, they're like the rulers of Central High. It's got these two leaders, Simon and Hood, who are the big shots around here. They're known for being pretty ruthless and are some of the most influential students in the whole school."

Zeke and Mikey listened to Erlik's explanation, suddenly their eyes fixed on the entrance as they absorbed Erlik's words. In the distance, a formidable procession of 35 to 40 individuals, the notorious "Red God" gang members, advanced toward the school.

The atmosphere in the school had shifted dramatically. All around them, Students looked away, They bowed their heads in fear and submission. An aura of fear enveloped the entire school as the intimidating presence of these gang members sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.

In the middle of the imposing group, one member of the gang approached Erlik with a seemingly friendly tone, asking, "Hey, buddy, how have you been? It's been a while." However, his expression turned sour as he looked at Jax and added with disdain, "Why are you hanging out with this loser?" Erlik and Jax exchanged a tense glance, feeling the weight of the situation.

Erlik responded, "No, I'm not hanging out with this loser. I came for this guy. His name is Zeke, and he's new to our school. And he is my friend, so I came to see him,". Then the guy simply said, "Alright," still eyeing Jax with evident displeasure before walking away.

Zeke and Mikey felt an uneasy tension in the air. Zeke inquired, "Erlik, who is that guy?" Erlik explained, "His name is Ivan, and he's one of the most influential students in our year."

 As they made their way home after classes, Zeke noticed something unusual. He turned to Mikey and Jax and asked, "Hey, did you guys see Erlik after class? I haven't seen him around, and he didn't answer my calls either."

Mikey thought for a moment and replied, "You know, Zeke, Erlik might be caught up with some schoolwork or something." Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, Erlik and the other top members were gathered inside the indoor basketball stadium, setting up for a meeting.

Willie Dean explained, "Simon and Hood will be back in 1 or 2 weeks. They have some business to take care of, so we need to hold off until they return. Be prepared, everyone." (Willie Dean is the head of all the gangs, as both Simon and Hood are currently absent.)

After that meeting, Erlik walked along the road, lost in his thoughts. Suddenly, Ivan approached him, questioning, "What are you thinking about what Willie told us?" Erlik, keeping his distance, Erlik, without much concern, replied to Ivan's question  "It's none of my business, and I have no interest in it." Ivan couldn't shake the feeling that something was not quite right with  Erlik. As Erlik continued on his way home.

Jax, Zeke, and Mikey arrived home, and Zeke noticed his mother's beaming face. Curious, he asked her, "Mom, what's happened?" She joyfully responded, "Your brother will be released from jail in just two months!" Zeke was surprised and a bit angry, questioning, "But Mom, wasn't Leon supposed to be in there for six more months?" His mother explained, "The court decided that Leon has changed a lot and become a better person, so they reduced his sentence."

Meanwhile, In the dark depths of the prison's underground, a terrifying scene unfolded. In a horrifying twist, one person had defeated over 190 others inside the cage. His hands raised high, Around that cage, more than 400 prisoners stood witness to this horrifying battle. Their eyes were fixed on the man in the cage, his face resembling a bloodthirsty demon as he fought, his hair soaked in blood.

 The continuous droplets falling from his hair gave the eerie illusion of a gruesome bloodbath. The ground looked like a strange pool, coated in a chilling layer of red. Amid this terrifying scene, an old man, the same one who shared Leon's cell, watched the spectacle unfold, his eyes gleaming with a sinister satisfaction as he enjoyed the horrifying spectacle.

 He wiped his face with his hands, revealing that this mysterious figure was none other than Leon.
