The Masterpiece and his Pupil
Takuya Yagami had always been the epitome of excellence in the White Room. As the best student of the fifth generation, Takuya's brilliance was absolute. His intelligence was great, and his strength was formidable. Yet, despite his exceptional abilities, one thing he hated: he was never recognized as the best. This lack of recognition was due to one man-Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
Ayanokouji was the masterpiece of the White Room, a product of the fourth generation. It was the most brutal one, where no one but Ayanokouji survived. His superiority was absolute. If Takuya was strong, Ayanokouji was stronger. If Takuya was intelligent, Ayanokouji was a genius beyond comprehension. This relentless comparison filled Takuya with resentment and hate.
One day, Ayanokouji escaped the White Room and enrolled at the Advanced Nurturing High School, an institution for elites. For an entire year, Ayanokouji hides his abilities, blending in as an ordinary student. However, his father, the creator of the White Room, could not accept his son's rebellion. To bring him back, he sent two of his students to retrieve him: Amasawa Ichika, who worshipped Ayanokouji as a god, and Takuya Yagami, who hated him.
Takuya entered AHNS with a single-minded objective: to defeat Ayanokouji. However, the encounter did not go as planned. Despite his abilities, Takuya faced a humiliating defeat. Ayanokouji's superiority was on full display, and the gap between them was undeniable. This devastating loss shattered Takuya's mind. The realization of how infinitely superior Ayanokouji was, broke his spirit.
Seizing the moment, Amasawa Ichika smiled. She saw an opportunity to turn Takuya's shattered mind into another ally. Amasawa indoctrinated Takuya into her belief, which idolized Ayanokouji as a god. She convinced Takuya that his true purpose was not to hate Ayanokouji but to worship him. In his broken state, Takuya embraced this new belief. He transformed from a rival into a loyal disciple.
