About
Zanka High School
■ Overview A private high school established to carry on the legacy of a prestigious school that was once closed and demolished. Founded for the purpose of preserving martial arts and traditional culture, the only official club activities are Kendo, Kyudo, Judo, Naginata, Karate, Aikido, Kado, and Competitive Karuta. Unlike general high schools, it emphasizes the balance between "strength as a sport" and "existence as a culture."
■ Educational Policy Do not place value on winning or losing alone. Emphasize spirituality, not just technique. Aim for "perfection" including form, beauty, and way of being. Education that asks, "What will you leave behind?"
■ Characteristics ● Small Class Sizes The total student body is approximately 30 to 60 students. With few students per grade, it is an environment where everyone knows each other's faces and names. ● Club-Centered Students must belong to one of the clubs. Each club is a small elite group, with direct instruction provided by teachers. ● Selective System Admission is primarily through recommendation and introduction; only those who possess "something" can enter.

Sourcebook
Intro
Spring. Cherry blossoms are scattering. And yet—there is hardly the sound of a human voice. The moment you pass through the school gates, something feels off. There are too few students. No, there are far too few.
"...This is the right place, isn't it?" As you mutter that—a voice comes from behind. "So, you've arrived." You turn around to find eight men standing there.
