Somewhere in a silent land, Alicia and her father are sitting together.

“What are you so worried about?”

Alicia’s father asks.

“Nothing much, just thinking how Ryuga is doing without me.”

Alicia says.

“Don’t worry. He is the son of madman. Even if he is in trouble, madman will always find a way to indirectly bail him out.”

Alicia’s father says.

“Father, who is madman. You always mention about this madman and everything but you never utter a word about this madman.”

Alicia says.

“You don’t need to worry about who madman is. It’s just a lost identity that one of Ryuga’s parents once had. They were just someone who was crazy enough to destroy the whole city just because someone ruined their date.”

Alicia’s father laughed.

“I am more interested in hearing about madman.”

Alicia laughed as well.

“That was the era of the first-gen heroes. That time when crazy villains like madman existed who also acted like heroes. There was also a great hero though. His name was Shotgun. I heard he was Ryuga’s favorite hero.”

Alicia’s father said.

“Why this hero called Shotgun though?”

Alicia asked her father.

“That’s because he could relate to Shotgun. A hero with no limiters. A hero who wielded a shotgun and fought as if he was a hero from a martial arts movie. Shotgun was someone capable of going up against Madman even without any limiters. They said he was Madman’s only weakness. Shotgun is one of the reasons why…Ryuga admires First-gen heroes like us.”

Alicia’s father explains.

“Shotgun and Madman…Are those two still alive? I mean madman would be if they are one of Ryuga’s parents but what about Shotgun?”

Alicia asks.

Alicia's father chuckles.

“If Shotgun didn’t exist, Ryuga wouldn’t either.”

Alicia's father smiles.

AT THE POLICE STATION NEAR RYUGA’S HOUSE,

“Achoo!”

Hiro sneezes,

“Someone must be talking about me.”

~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~

The story so far is as follows,

Ryuga Aragi is a 16-year-old boy who recently joined Ghost World Academy. An academy to prep top Ghosts and Heroes. Ghosts are basically humans who tend to do heroic deeds and heroes is the term used to refer to other different races that tend to do the heroic deed.

Ryuga Aragi met Alicia Arkwet and Kirio Dakai on the first day of his school. He became friends with them saved Alicia from dying but his ex-girlfriend killed her. Now her spirit haunts him.

He was humiliated by Ryan Arkwet and joined Akuma Jin a crazy scientist. He began researching on the resurrection of the dead along with Akuma Jin but soon Akuma Jin turned on him and tried to kill Bleeds the number 1 Ghost of City-H and also he had taken Mayumi Revons as his hostage.

Ryuga did some weird ritual along with Ellie and Slips and unlocked a massive mana pool, which was needed to ride an armor he had made especially for Akuma Jin’s robot. He fought Akuma Jin and won.

Soon, he finds out that Ellie was going to be executed so he runs to her rescue.

Kirio, Jau, Clayton, Gordon, and the chief of Ogres Mearid all help him rescuing Ellie.

It looked like Ryuga was about to be executed by Alucard, the King of all vampires but instead, Kronos a mercenary who was working for Ryan Arkwet came and rescued him.

Ryuga went to Marie to ask for a house for Ellie but instead, he came to know Marie still holds a grudge against him for killing his boyfriend all those years ago.

Ryuga goes to Airi who says that he will need her grandma’s permission if Ellie was to stay at her place and her Grandma says that there will be someone who will always support Ryuga and he shouldn’t let her go.

Ryuga is selected for a tournament by Lucifer and is forced to join in. Lucifer locks his massive mana pool away. She says it’s his punishment for the things he did in the Land of Vampire. Lucifer says that if Ryuga begs her to unlock his mana pool she will.

Ryuga didn’t want to throw his pride away so he asks Myra to train him but she declines. Ryuga challenges her in his devilish way but it turns out Ryuga only had kind intentions. He falls unconscious and now, he is lying in the infirmary.
