Among the four first-year classes at Advanced Nurturing High School, if there was one class most likely to develop an extremely hostile atmosphere, it should have been Class C.
That dangerous, violence-ridden class ruled through terror by Ryuen Kaito was the true embodiment of malice and hostility among the school's first-years.
