) from a violent confrontation with students of rival school Hosen Academy, who're famed for being so violent that they're known as the Army of Killers.
Genji quickly learns that the pact between Suzuran and Hosen was made two years earlier after Sho Kawanishi broke a gang law by using a weapon that fatally stabbed Hosen's leader. Suzuran had sworn to a pact they would not interfere with Hosen's actions when Kawanishi is released from prison.
