Gangsters:Rise To The Top

Chapter 22: Countdown Begins- One Day Before The Annual Sports Week



The air in Jengraimukh Academy was thick with excitement and tension. The Annual Sports Week was just one day away, and every student was busy finalizing their participation in different events. Banners and posters were being put up, the sports grounds were being prepared, and student groups were making their last-minute training plans.

In the main courtyard, large digital boards displayed the list of events:

Track Events (500m,1000m, 2000m, relay race)

Combat Sports (One-on-One duels, Weapon Training, Survival Matches)

Team Events (Football, Basketball, Volleyball,Tactical Warzone)

Endurance Challenges (Marathon, Obstacle Course, Mountain Climb)

The competition wasn't just about winning trophies and medals—for many students, it was about proving their strength and earning a reputation. But what made this year special was the selection of the five S-Rank students, a chance to compete at the Grand Event at Arunachal Pradesh Academy.

Inside the Student Union Room

The Student Union, along with Miss Ananya Kutum, had gathered for one last discussion before the Sports Week began.

Chandrosekhar Doley (GS) tapped his fingers on the desk. "So, we're all set. The event schedule is ready, the judges are confirmed, and the security team is in place. The only thing left is tomorrow's opening ceremony."

Meghali Doley (Event President) nodded. "I've arranged everything for the chief guest's arrival. The Academy's head will be addressing the students before the first event starts."

Ujjwal Kuli (Sports Union President) grinned. "This year's combat sports category is going to be intense. I'm hearing a lot of strong students have signed up."

Miss Ananya adjusted her glasses. "Yes, and remember—the selection of the five S-Rank students will begin in the middle of the Sports Week. We'll evaluate the top performers from all events before making a decision."

Lohit Kashyap (AGS) added, "That means students will have to prove themselves in multiple events, not just one."

The group nodded. This year, strength alone wouldn't be enough—strategy, endurance, and adaptability would be just as important.

In the Cafeteria – The Revolutionary Stars Gather

Over at the academy cafeteria, Mri, Ayang, Rihan, and the full team of division captains and vice-captains sat around a large table, enjoying their break before the big event.

Tanuja (1st Division Captain) smirked. "So, Mri, have you finally decided which event you're joining?"

Mri leaned back, sipping his tea. "Still thinking about it."

Roman (Vice-Captain, 1st Division) laughed. "Come on, don't act cool. Everyone's waiting to see you fight."

Sunil (2nd Division Captain) grinned. "Rumor is, you're undefeated in Dibrugarh. You should enter the One-on-One Combat Event."

Mri just smiled but said nothing.

Pankaj (Vice-Captain, 6th Division) leaned forward. "Forget fighting for a second. Let's talk about something more interesting—Mri's love life!"

The table suddenly went silent for a moment before Deba (Vice-Captain, 2nd Division) laughed. "Yeah! We all see how Mri and Jasmine train together."

James (Vice-Captain, 5th Division) smirked. "Maybe there's something more than just training between them?"

Mri froze for a second, his face turning slightly red. "You guys are overthinking things."

Khunjon (5th Division Captain) grinned. "Are we? Or are you just too embarrassed to admit it?"

The whole table burst into laughter, with Mri shaking his head in frustration. Jasmine wasn't there, but if she had heard this, she probably would've teased him too.

Ayang chuckled. "Alright, enough teasing Mri. Let's focus on the Sports Week first. There's going to be some tough competition."

The group nodded. The Dragons, The Black Wolves ,Bulls of Majuli,Amai Gang and even independent fighters were all aiming to dominate the Sports Week. This wasn't just a friendly event—it was a battlefield to prove superiority.

Meanwhile, in a Dark Alley – The Amai Gang's Plan

Far from the excitement, in a shadowy alley near the old dorm buildings, members of the Amai Gang gathered in secret.

Biplob Doley, the leader, leaned against a wall, smoking a cigarette. "Everything is going as planned. The Dragons and the Revolutionary Stars will be too focused on the Sports Week."

A gang member smirked. "And when they least expect it, we'll strike?"

Biplob nodded. "Exactly. Let them exhaust themselves in the competition. When they're weak, we'll make our move."

The group chuckled in the darkness.

Something dangerous was brewing beneath the surface of the Sports Week.

Back in the Academy – Nightfall Approaches

As the day came to an end, Mri walked alone through the empty training field, staring up at the stars. He had never been the type to care about tournaments, medals, or rankings.

But this time, things were different.

The past—the pain of his sister Mumu's coma,the promise he made to himself—all of it led him to this moment.

This Sports Week wasn't just about winning. It was about proving to himself that he was strong enough.

Strong enough to fight.

Strong enough to change everything.

As the academy lights dimmed and the students went to rest, the countdown began.

Tomorrow, the Sports Week would begin. And with it, the true test of power.
