After Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's graduation from Advanced Nurturing High School, the existence of the White Room is exposed to the world. This revelation sends shockwaves through society and the educational system, unraveling the carefully constructed facade of elite education.
In the wake of this turmoil, Kiyotaka is forced to assume a new identity. Under the name Akira Kaneda, he enrolls at Tokyo University, seeking to live a life of peace and anonymity. As Akira navigates the complexities of university life, he encounters a diverse array of individuals: allies who look beyond his enigmatic past, and adversaries who test his newfound resolve.
Throughout his journey, Akira grapples with the psychological scars left by the White Room, wrestling with issues of trust, betrayal, and self-discovery. As he slowly rebuilds his life, he strives to define his own path, free from the shadows of his past.
Yet, as he seeks a place where he truly belongs, Akira must confront the persistent remnants of his former life. Will he be able to forge a future on his own terms, or will the ghosts of his past continue to shape his destiny?
