Introduction
The rules of the game are to select a class considered to be the worst among third-year middle school students across the country, and make all its members kill each other until only the last person is left alive. ——New Century Education Reform Law, commonly known as “BR”.
Within three days, either kill all the companions around you, or wait until you are killed. The road is cruel and unique. And what happened to those who finally escaped from this extreme state and survived?
Two years after Qiu Nanahara and Noriko Nakagawa escaped from BR and left the isolated island, the human world entered the era of terrorism. The capital was bombed into rubble at the hands of anti-British "terrorists". Government authorities identified the culprit of this incident as Nanabao and began an international manhunt for him.

On the way to the ski school, they were kidnapped by the army and all members were kidnapped to an isolated island. When they were ordered to change into military uniforms and escorted to a huge military camp, their instructor RIKI appeared. "The entire class, without exception, will be a participant in this BRⅡ", RIKI announced the reason for the kidnapping to the students who were already in chaos, and explained the rules of the game of BRⅡ.
