Story

It has been seven years since Kumiko Yamaguchi, whose family is a member of yakuza group Ōedo Family, became a high school teacher. While the gap between Kumiko and the students of the 3rd grade D class at Akado Gakuin high school, where she is assigned, remains unresolved, Ryu Odagiri, a student of Kumiko's from her days at Kurogin Gakuin high school, is assigned to Akado Gakuin as a student teacher. Kumiko thinks that Ryu wanted to become a teacher because of his admiration for her, but Ryu is still brooding about his future. Meanwhile, Mochizuki and his friends from 3-D are robbed by a group of bad guys and are nearly mugged. Reita Takasugi, the leader of 3-D students, appears and defeats the bad guys, but they are members of the Black Skull, a motorcycle gang that has caused numerous police incidents, and Takasugi and his group are noticed by them. Meanwhile, a serious incident occurs among the graduates of Akado Gakuin. Ren Kazama is wanted by the police for his involvement in a methamphetamine deal and goes missing. Kumiko finds out about this and, believing in Ren's innocence, decides to search for him together with former 3-D members such as Yamato Ogata. But there is a powerful mastermind lurking behind the incident.
