In the annals of human psychology, fear holds a prominent place, shaping our instincts and driving our actions. For Ryuuen, however, fear was an alien concept, a foreign entity he never encountered. From a tender age, he recognized the pervasive role of fear in shaping human nature, the way it could unveil one's true essence when pushed to the brink. While others trembled in terror, Ryuuen remained unfazed, untouched by the icy grip of fear.
In his elementary school days, during a class trip, Ryuuen's path crossed with a formidable snake. As his classmates watched from a safe distance, some with morbid curiosity, others consumed by fear, Ryuuen, without a shred of hesitation, grabbed a rock and dealt the snake a fatal blow. This act, while gruesome, revealed a profound truth about Ryuuen: he wasn't afraid. The fear and adrenaline that coursed through the veins of his peers held no sway over him. In the face of adversity, he embraced violence as the ultimate solution, believing it defined one's accomplishments and cemented one's dominance.
As Ryuuen grew older, however, a disconcerting realization dawned upon him. The thrill he once derived from instilling fear in his adversaries began to wane. Complacency settled in, boredom gnawed at his spirit, and a sense of dissatisfaction lingered. His greatest desire, to be overthrown, to experience the paralyzing grip of fear, remained unfulfilled. This yearning for fear drove him to seek out opponents who could challenge him, ignite his adrenaline, and rekindle the spark that had once defined him.
Enter Ayanokouji, an enigma wrapped in a shroud of mystery. Emotion, in its myriad forms, was foreign to him. Happiness, sadness, anger, guilt—all these human sentiments held no sway over him. He was an empty void, consuming everything in his path to satisfy his own objectives. His approach to games mirrored that of the Joker, unpredictable and chaotic. From their first encounter, Ayanokouji began to lay the groundwork for his grand scheme, aiming to expose Ryuuen and ensure Class C's downfall during the uninhabited island exam.
The cruise ship presented another opportunity for Ayanokouji to manipulate events. By manipulating the girls from Class C who tormented K, he aimed to turn the tables on Ryuuen and Kushida. The paper shuffle exam provided yet another stage for Ayanokouji's machinations. He anonymously contacted Ryuuen, fueling his suspicions about Horikita and Class D's true mastermind. While Ryuuen suspected Ayanokouji's involvement, he lacked definitive proof. Ayanokouji, meanwhile, skillfully used his friends as a mask, blending into the background and downplaying his significance.
The stage was set for the climactic clash atop the rooftop. Ayanokouji's meticulous plan had ensnared K, subjecting her to psychological torment. This served two purposes: to lure Ryuuen and his cohorts into the perfect setting and to test K's resolve, her loyalty, and the strength of her bonds. Despite the intense pressure, K remained steadfast, refusing to crack under the strain.
Ayanokouji then revealed himself, exposing his true power before the assembled crowd. Despite Ryuuen's martial arts expertise and his own unique combat style, Ayanokouji's dominance was undeniable. Ryuuen, who had rarely experienced pain, was forced to confront its harsh reality. His complacency shattered, and for the first time in his life, true fear gripped his heart. He realized that Ayanokouji was an adversary unlike any he had faced before, a man with dead eyes and an expressionless face, devoid of any emotion.
Like Icarus flying too close to the sun, Ryuuen, who had once soared as a god among men, was reminded of his own mortality. Ayanokouji's victory fulfilled Ryuuen's long-held wish, granting him the fear he had so desperately craved. Ryuuen's defeat was a stark reminder that even the most formidable individuals are ultimately human, capable of experiencing fear and vulnerability.
