-----SIU HQ'S-----

"A Minister of Transport announcing his resignation... *chuckle* Things are going as planned..." The SIU director chuckled.

"Sae Niijima... that reminds me..." The SIU director sighed deeply, "...Better to leave it be for now."

------At The Shujin's Gate------

At the school's gate, both of the boys winded in shock to see that Shujin returned to its old and normal self instead of that weird castle.

"Is this for real...? I'm sure we came the same way... what's goin' on here...?" Ryuji asked himself very shock.

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you. We received a call from the police." A counselor walked out of the school's entrance talking in a angry tone.

"That damn cop snitched on us after all!" Ryuji groaned.

"........" Akira looked down with sorrow in his eyes.

"It's rare not to see you alone. Where were you roaming around until this time?" The counselor asked angrily.

"Uhh... a ca-- a castle?" Ryuji hesitated to speak.

"So, you have no intention of giving an honest answer?" The counselor said.

"What's this about a 'castle'?" A familiar voice asked. Only for Kamoshida to walk over looking all normal again. 

"Kamoshida?!" Ryuji gasped.

"You seem so carefree, Sakamoto. Quite a difference from when you did morning practice for the track team." Kamoshida said.

"Shuddup! It's your fault that--" Ryuji's words were cut off.

"How dare you speak that way to Mr. Kamoshida!" The counselor scolded the blondie angrily "...There's not much leeway left for you, you know?" 

"He's the one who provoked me!" Ryuji snapped.

"Do you really want to be expelled?! In any case, you'll have to explain yourself! Follow me!" The counselor said firmly.

"What? This is bullshit!" Ryuji snapped again.

"Come now, I should have been more considerate, too. Let's just say that we were both to blame." Kamoshida said to the counselor.

"Well, if you say so..." The counselor trailed before looking back at Ryuji, "Still, you're coming with me. It's undeniable that you're extremely late."

"Fine..." Ryuji sighed in defense.

The counselor went inside the school building followed by Ryuji who was walking the stairs. He paused for a second to give a death glare at Kamoshida before walking inside.

"By the way... you're that new transfer student, correct? Akira Kurusu..." Kamoshida asked the frizzy-haired. 

Akira didn't replied any single word.

"...Have we met somewhere?" Kamoshida asked.

"I saw a girl in your car." Akira replied.

"That's right... I remember now." Kamoshida remembered "...Well, I'll overlook this just for today. I'm sure you've heard from the principal, but cause any trouble and you'll be expelled. Understand?" Kamoshida threatened.

"Can you overlook more?" Akira asked. 

"Is that supposed to be a joke? I'm not laughing." Kamoshida said. "At any rate, hurry up and go to the faculty office. I'm sure Ms. Kawakami's tired of waiting." 

"Good luck trying to enjoy your new school life." Kamoshida grinned before walking inside.

"New school life..." Akira mumbled.

"Get lose here, bitch. We don't need you in this school."

"Don't looked at him. He'll kill you if you look into his eyes!"

"He should get lose in this world."

Akira's eyes were covering in shadows with a frown face again, just remembering those words by his old classmates makes him even weaker and doesn't want to live in this worthless mess up world.

But...

"I'm here with you..."

Just remembering that girl makes him want to... Live for some reason although he completely forgot about this girl in his memory. 

He brush off that thought and went inside the building; Sujin Academy, his new school.

-----Time Skip: In Class-----

Akira stood next to his teacher in front of the whole class which never stopped murmuring and chattering among each other at his sudden and late presence. 

The (H/C)-haired girl looked at the new transfer student your eyes were winded and really shook when you saw the transfer student.

"Wait... It's him..." You thought.

"But, why is he late...?"

"Being super late on his first day? He really is insane..."

"He looks normal though..."

"But he might slug us if we look him in the eye..." 

"Settle down." Ms. Kawakami said "...Well, I'd like to introduce a transfer student: Akira Kurusu. Today, we... Had him attend from the afternoon on since he wasn't feeling well. All right, please say something to the class."

"Nice to meet you all." Akira curved a smile, but the smile he shows... It's fake.

"He seems quiet... But I bet when he loses it..."

"I mean, he was arrested for assault, right...?"

"...Uhh, so..." Ms. Kawakami was looking for his seat. "Your seat will be... Hmm... Over there. The one that's open." Ms. Kawakami pointed next to your seat. 

"Next to my seat...?"

Akira looked over to his seat and winded in surprise he saw the (H/C)-haired girl from early, he was staring at her and so as you, for a second until Ms. Kawakami snapped Akira in reality.

"Kurusu-san? You OK?" Ms. Kawakami asked.

Akira snapped out in reality and shook of his head, and replied, "Y... Yeah."

As Akira was walking to his assigned seat, he kept hearing the class murmuring about him, even it got more murmurings when...

"He was staring to that weird-hair girl freak, right?"

"I bet his gonna do something on her."

"Is he gotta hit on her?"

"I bet. I think his got lovestruck already."

Yet he tried decided to shrug it off but he couldn't. He stopped when he saw the same ash-blonde girl with pigtails who he saw earlier.

"...Lies." The flashy female mumbled to herself.

"You're that girl..." Akira said.

"......." The flashy female student fell silent avoiding eye contact with him, before Akira slowly awkwardly walked to his seat right behind her.

"...Did you catch that? Do those two know each other?" 

"Does that mean he hit on her before transferring here?"

"Hitting on two girls? What a bold move."

"And that means she's cheating on him with Mr. Kamoshida."

"Then again, this is Takamaki-San we're talking about..." 

"For real. That side of the room is totally awful."

You looked at 'Akira' a little bit and wondering why was he late in his first day? You just saw him earlier, but why was he extremely late?

"Wait, what the heck? Why am I worried about him? This is not like me at all..."

"Oh and, can the people nearby share your textbooks with him for today?" Ms. Kawakami said to the class.

"This sucks..."

"There's no way on earth I'm going to share my textbook to him."

The murmurs are still on going like it will never stop forever, Akira really felt broken inside like nobody even cared about him at all.

"Just what I thought..." Akira thought sadly.

You heard the whole class murmuring which cause you to annoyed so much, your annoyed gossiping about you. Heck, your more annoyed when the whole entire school is gossiping about you.

For some reason you feel borrowing your textbook... "Here." You handed your own textbook

The frizzy-haired looked at you and shook, he thought nobody will willing to share textbook for him.

"Nobody is gonna share a textbook, right? So you can borrow mine." You tried not having eye-contact and still has that cold expression.

Akira blink several times but he brush it off accepted your textbook and curved a smile and said, "Thanks." And that smile was a bright and true smile he gave.

The whole class gasp softly and the murmurs gone non-stop when they saw you handed your textbook to the new transfer.

"Did you saw that? That weird-colored-haired freak girl, just shared her own textbook to that guy?"

"Did they hit each other? For real?"

"Well, that's not like her though."

"Yeah. Besides she's never gonna have a boyfriend in her life."

Akira heard like the whole entire student in the classroom are going crazing in gossiping, in the young-girl and him which cause him to feel bad about the girl.

"Don't mind about the rumors." You said and not even making a eye-contact to him.

Akira looked at her with a bit shook on his face but he just shrug it off and went back listening in class.

"All right! Settle down!" Ms. Kawakami wants to get the attention of the class. "Oh, right! The volleyball rally's in two days. Everyone's just changed classes, and make that time to get know each other better. Well then, let's get class started. Who's on duty today?"

"Everyone, please rise..." Well-behaved Student.

-----After Class-----

Akira entered outside the classroom he was about to continue walking at the hallway until the whole thing turned into a image of a castle from earlier and went back to normal, Akira's head were hurt a little bit by this.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Ms. Kawakami entered outside the classroom noticing Akira.

"Is this... A castle?" Akira asked.

"*Sigh* Are you sure you're OK?" Ms. Kawakami asked. "Also... it seems like people are already talking about you, but I'm not the one who told them. I can't even catch a break... why do I have to deal with this?"

"You should head straight home without stopping by anywhere. Sakura-San sounded pretty angry." Ms. Kawakami said.

"Oh boy..." Akira mumbled and imagines Sojiro being at him. "I'm dead." Akira puts a poor chibi face (TωT💧).

"Oh, and about Sakamoto-Kun. Don't get involved---" Before Ms. Kawakami say anything about it, Ryuji approached them.

"Speak of the devil..." Ms. Kawakami mumbled, "What do you want? I heard the police caught you cutting classes today."

"Ugh... It was nothin'." Ryuji groaned very pissed.

"And you haven't dyed you're hair into black." Ms. Kawakami added.

"Sorry 'bout that." Ryuji mumbled angrily.

Before he walked away, he stopped for a second near Akira whispering to him "...I'll be waitin' on the rooftop."

"Huh?" Akira puzzled his head before Ryuji walks away.

Ms. Kawakami let a deep sighed and said, "See? That's why I don't want you getting involved. Understood?" Ms. Kawakami said before walking away.

You walked outside the classroom and saw Akira standing there before leaving, for reasons you decided to approach him.

"Hey." You said in your usual cold self.

Akira looked behind him who's calling him winded his eyes when he saw you, "Yeah?"

"Can I talk to you for a minute? It'll be quick." You said.

Akira remembers what Ryuji said to him meeting at the rooftop, "Sorry but I can't."

"It's fine. After what you're doing, meet me at the school entrance, after." You said.

"Uh?" Akira blinked in confusion.

"The conversation will be very quick, but I don't think it's better to talk in here." You looked around on you.

Akira looked around him and saw many people are staring at him gossiping something, of course it's about you two.

"Sure." Akira agreed.

You didn't say any word and walked away in your place, Akira stared there blinking several times for some reason his remembering the girl on his memory.

"I'm here with you..."  

"Ugh... Why am I remembering that now?" Akira sighed.

-----At The Rooftop-----

Akira went at the school rooftop as Ryuji told him and he found him there waiting.

"...There you are." Ryuji said. "Sorry for callin' you up here like this. I bet Kawakami already told you stuff like 'don't get involved with him', huh?"

"She said you're trouble." Akira replied.

"Heh, we're pretty much in the same boat." Ryuji chuckled, "I heard you got a criminal record. Everyone's talkin' about it. No wonder you were so gutsy."

"...What was all that that happened? You know, how we almost got killed at a castle... it wasn't a dream... right? You remember it too, yeah?" Ryuji asked.

"Yeah." Akira replied.

"Well, just 'cause we both remember it doesn't mean much though..." Ryuji trailed, "I mean, even if it was a dream, you saved me from Kamoshida. So yeah... thanks!"

"It was nothing." Akira curved a small smile.

"But man, that Kamoshida we saw there... you prolly don't know about it, but there are some rumors about him." Ryuji said.

"The guy we met earlier?" Akira asked.

"Yeah, the ripped mophead. That asshole who was all full of himself at the castle." Ryuji said. "No one says anything against him 'cause he's some medalist who took the volleyball team to nationals. The way Kamoshida was king of that castle felt crazy real 'cause of that... "

"...I wonder if we can go back to that castle again..." Ryuji trailed, "Ugh, forget it. Must've all been a dream! It has to be!"

"Sorry to drag you out here like this. That's all I had to say. I feel like we're gonna get along just fine as 'troublemakers'." Ryuji said, "Crap! I just realized that I was with you almost the entire day without knowing you my name!" Ryuji suddenly snapped, "I'm Ryuji Sakamoto."

"Akira Kurusu." Akira introduced himself.

"I'll come talk if I see you around. Don't ignore me, all right?" Ryuji said while giving Akira a small wave and leaving the rooftop.

-----At The Entrance-----

Akira exit the Shujin building saw the young-girl waiting for him at the entrance he really didn't believe that she was really waiting for him, he went and approach the girl.

"You're here." You said. 

"What do you want to talk about?" Akira asked.

"It'll be quick." You look around so that nobody will listen to your conversation. "Why were you late? I saw you earlier and there's no doubt that you will be extremely late like that."

"Well... T-That's..." Akira stuttered scratched his head for he doesn't know what to say. "I didn't know you care so much." 

You winded your eyes for she didn't expect that he will answer that, "Uh... Never mind."

"Huh?" Akira titled his head.

"Don't answer my question anymore, I just got... Carried away for some reason." You said. "You can go home now, just forget this ever happens." You walked away leaving the Frizzy-haired behind.

Akira tries to stop her but she was to far away now the frizzy-haired got really confuse for what just happened.

"O...K..." Akira said to himself.

-----Time Skip: The Next Day (In Class)-----

Another new school day for Akira in Shujin, people in the classroom are listening in class it was the last subject for today; social studies is the subject and the teacher is Mr. Ushimaru, he is a very strict teacher if you are not listening in class, your gonna get hit by a chalk and answer his questions. 

You were listening in class and you were completely bored, but if you don't listen your absolutely dead. On the other hand though, Akira was sleeping in class his gotta be dead for sure...

"The Greek philosopher Plato divided the human soul into three parts." Mr. Ushimaru, "A soul is composed of appetite, spirit, and what else?"

The student didn't raise there hands cause they're not willing to answer the questioned instead Mr. Ushimaru finds a student order to answer his question.

You yawn because of this class you know the answer but your not that type of person that willing to raise there hands and answer.

You notice that Akira was sleeping which if Ushimaru finds him sleeping in his class, oh boy...

"I should wake him up before he saw him sleeping." You were not your usual self for some reason, usually you just let them sleep and when the teacher finds out their sleeping it's not gotta be your fault.

"Hey..." You mumbled quietly and tries to wake up the Frizzy-haired.

Akira was still in his slumber, "Hey..." You tried to wake him up but it was still no use.

Mr. Ushimaru looks at your direction and you quickly went back into character, the teacher saw that the Frizzy-haired was sleeping he grab a piece of a chalk and...

"His dead." You thought with a cold sweat in your face.

He throws the chalk directly in the frizzy-haired's head which cause him to wake up and drooling.

"Uhh..." Akira fixed his glasses a bit with a looking drooling chibi face ('┓').

Akira finally wakes up completely seeing Mr. Ushimaru looking at him angry with a dark scary aura around him.

"Crap...!" Akira raise his skin like a cat looks like scared with a chibi face like this (OДO;;).

"Do you know the answer, Kurusu-san?" Mr. Ushimaru said with a dead face.

Akira froze and thought, "I didn't even listen to the question..."

You looked at Akira and you sighed, wrote something on the paper... 

Akira doesn't know what to answer since he was sleeping and he notice a paper on (H/C)-haired desk and there's a word say "Logic (論理)".

Akira blinked and has no idea what is she trying to do until, "Wait...!"

"Well..." Mr. Ushimaru waits for the Frizzy-haired's answer.

"Logic, sir." Akira answered.

"Correct." Mr. Ushimaru exclaimed. "So you were listening after all."

The frizzy-haired has the emo aura surrounded him with his nose has like a ghost thing popping out. "I thought I was screwed."

-----After Class-----

Akira stepped outside the class and good thing he didn't get in trouble, and it's all thanks to that young-girl.

"I should thank her." Akira mumble and he saw Kamoshida walking towards at the ash blonde-haired flashy girl.

"Hey there, Takamaki." Kamoshida greeted with a wide grin on his face. "You looking for a ride home? Things have been pretty dangerous lately with all those accidents." 

"Sorry, I have a photoshoot today. It's for the special summer issue, so I can't afford to miss it..." Takamaki replied.

"Hey, now... being a model's fine and dandy, but don't work your pretty little self to the bone. You mentioned you weren't feeling well, right? Something about appendicitis?" Kamoshida asked.

"Yes, I keep planning to go to the hospital, but I've been too busy... sorry to worry you." Takamaki spoke.

"You must be lonely too. I feel bad for keeping your best friend at practice so often. That's why I asked you out in the first place. Oh, and... be careful around that transfer student." Kamoshida said. 

"I'm right here stupid." Akira pops out a angry mark symbol on his head (💢).

"He's got a criminal record, after all. If something were to happen to you..."  

"...Thank you. Please excuse me." Takamaki said before walking away.

"Tch..." Kamoshida 'tched' angrily before he left the spot himself.

-----At The School Entrance-----

While Akira was exiting the building, someone approach him behind.

"Yo." Ryuji greeted with a friendly smile.

"What's up?" Akira greeted.

"I wanna talk about that castle from yesterday. I tried tellin' myself it was all just a dream... but I couldn't do it. I can't act like nothing happened. It's all connected to that bastard Kamoshida after, all. I wanna find out what's up with that place, no matter what. And y'know, you're the only person I can rely on for this stuff. So, you're in?" Ryuji asked. 

"Sure. What's next?" Akira asked.

"Ooh... looks like I managed to talk some sense into you. I think we should just try and retrace our steps from yesterday. In the meantime, you're walkin' to the station, right? Let's go together. Lemme know if you notice any other weird buildings on the way." Ryuji grinned widely.

On the way in the street, Ryuji paused his tracks to speak with Akira saying "If a huge castle like that really exists, I'm sure we'll find it in no time." Ryuji said, "...When'd they build something like that though?"

.Ryuji took a quick glance at his surroundings before saying "We walked that way from here, right?"

"Maybe" Akira spoke.

"...All right, this way. Lemme know if you notice something." Ryuji said before walking in the alley.

**********

Retracing their old steps which they took yesterday, the two boys reached the school building, but gasped in shock upon seeing it in its normal self.

"Huh...?!" Ryuji dumbfounded, "We're at school... there wasn't anything out of place along the way, right? I didn't see no castle either..." Ryuji trailed, "...We must've made a wrong turn somewhere. Let's try again."

"Again...?" Akira asked.

"Don't worry. I won't mess up this time. Let's go." Ryuji said.

**********

Then they tried again, but with no result...

"For real...?" Ryuji lowered his head.

"........." Akira grunted.

"Is it smaller than we think it is? What do you think?" Ryuji asked.

"Check on your phone." Akira said.

"I already did that. I didn't see anything like it around here..." Ryuji said."Huh? Phone..." Ryuji trailed, as if he realized something "Hey, that reminds me--didn't you have a navigation app thingy on back then?" Ryuji asked.

"Navigation app...?" Akira trailed.

"I dunno if it was or not, but I heard stuff that sounded like one comin' from your phone. Y'know, didn't it say stuff like 'returned to the real world' or something like that? Lemme see your phone for a bit." Ryuji said.

 Akira pulled his phone out from his pocket to hand it over to the blonde-haired whom snatched it away from him.

"What's this eyeball-lookin' thing?" Ryuji asked.

"I can't delete it..." Akira replied.

"Wait, what? What a weird app..." Ryuji trailed "...Oh wait, this is it! I knew it--it IS a navigation app! There's even your search history!" Ryuji exclaimed while showing him the screen "Oh man, I'm such a genius!"

"Let's try usin' it." Ryuji suggested.

"But I don't know how to." Akira said.

"Then I'll do it." Ryuji clicked.

"Kamoshida... Shujin Academy... Pervert... Castle..." The metaverse navigator said in a robotic voice "Beginning navigation." 

"There we go!" Ryuji exclaimed "...Then we went in a certain direction, and--"

".......!" Akira gasped softly as everything around them colored in a dark purple velvet.

"Hey, what're you--" Ryuji paused, "...Huh? What the hell?!"

Akira mobile's phone screen twitched and glitched like the screen of a broken TV, with the eyeball symbol popping up. Everything colored in dark shades of reddish black before the school transformed into the huge castle all again.

-----The Castle-----

"Look! It's the castle from yesterday!" Ryuji exclaimed before running towards the main entrance followed by Akira.

"We made it back... that means what happened yesterday was for real too..." Ryuji trailed. "...Yeargh! Those clothes...!"

"Hm?" Akira hummed in a questioning tone while staring at his gloved hand.

"That happened last time too, huh?! What's with that outfit?!" Ryuji exclaimed loudly.

"You jelly?" Akira's lips curved into a smirk.

"I-I ain't jealous!" Ryuji spoke nervously. "What's goin' on here?! This makes no effin' sense at all..." Ryuji cried out.

"Hey!" A familiar voice called before Morgana approached the two.

"Stop making a commotion." Morgana whispered.

"Ah... you?!" Ryuji groaned.

"The Shadows started acting up, so I came here wondering what it could be..." Morgana spoke "...To think you guys would come back to the entrance when you barely managed to escape."

"What is this place? ...Is it the school?" Ryuji asked.

"That's right." Morgana replied.

"But it's a castle!" Ryuji snapped.

"This castle IS the school." Morgana reassured "...But only to this castle's ruler."

"The castle's ruler...?" Ryuji scratched his hair.

"I think you called him Kamoshida? It's how his distorted heart views the school." Morgana explained.

"I see..." Akira mumbled and understand what Morgana said.

"Kamoshida... distorted..." Ryuji trailed before snapping, "Explain it in a way that makes sense!"

"I shouldn't have expected a moron to get it..." Morgana trailed.

"What'd you say?!" Ryuji growled at the cat when hearing the voice of a loud scream. "What was that?!" Ryuji asked.

"It must be the slaves captive here." Morgana said.

"For real?!" Ryuji widened his eyes hearing another scream, "Oh shit... it's for real! We saw other guys held captive here yesterday... I'm pretty sure they're from our school."

"Most likely on Kamoshida's orders, it's nothing out of the ordinary. It's like that everyday here. What's more, you two escaped yesterday. He must have lost his temper quite a bit." Morgana said.

"That son of a bitch...!" Ryuji shouted.

"Ryuji...?" Morgana trailed.

"...This is bullshit!" Ryuji yelled again.

The blonde-haired ran towards the castle's door banging it with his side yelling "You hear me, Kamoshida?!"

"Doing that isn't going to open it, you know... still, it seems you have your reasons." Morgana spoke.

"Hey, Monamona." Ryuji called while approaching them again. 

"It's Morgana!" The cat growled.

"Do you know where those voices are comin' from...?" Ryuji asked.

"You want me to take you to them?" Morgana folded his hands, "...Well, I guess I could guide you there. But only if he comes with us." Morgana said while looking at Akira.

"Let's go." Akira said.

"It's settled then!" Morgana said

."For real...?!" Ryuji grinned "...Thanks, man."

"All right, let's do this. Follow me." Morgana said before running away.

**********

All the three went into the exit where they escaped last time, and started infiltrating the castle and getting engaged in several battles along the way, except for Ryuji of course. They reached to an underground dungeon where they saw how the volleyball players were being tortured in unimaginable and inhuman methods. Their screams and desperate calls for help could pierce into the ear. Ryuji memorized the faces of some of these players, and decided to exit the castle.Only when the worst case scenario kicked in...

"...You knaves again?" Shadow Kamoshida walked over to the three with a troop of guards. 

"To think you'd make the same mistake again. You're hopeless!" Shadow Kamoshida said. 

"The school ain't your castle! I've memorized their faces real good. You're goin' down!" Ryuji shouted at him.

"It seems it's true when they say 'barking dogs seldom bite'. How far the star runner of the track team has fallen." Kamoshida smirked darkly

."The hell are you gettin' at?!" Ryuji yelled.

"I speak of the 'Track Traitor' who acted in violence, ending his teammates' dreams. Oh, I can only imagine the pain of the others who were dragged under with your... selfish act." Kamoshida smirked again.

"Ngh..." Ryuji groaned."Violence?" Akira asked.

"What a surprise. So you're accompanying him without knowing anything at all? He betrayed his teammates and crushed their hopes, yet he still carries on as carefree as ever." Kamoshida smirked.

"That's not true!" Ryuji protested.

"You've come along with this fool and are now going to end up dead." Kamoshida spoke, "...How unlucky of you." Walking a little bit away.

"Go, kill them all. Don't sully my castle with garbage." Shadow Kamoshida ordered. The two guards walked close to the three and went berserk, thus turning into two demonic mosters. Black horses with red eyes, white hair and tail, and big green horns.

"Goddamit..." Ryuji groaned.

"Ryuji, move!" Morgana warned as he charged at the enemies with Akira.

-----After The Battle-----

Morgana and Akira fight the two demonic monster but they lose.

"Rgh... you piece of--" Morgana hissed while his back begged stepped on by Kamoshida's foot.

"Ugh...!" Akira also tried to lift his face up, but was apprehended down the same way.

"I bet you simply came here on a whim and ended up like this. Isn't that right?" Shadow Kamoshida asked darkly.

"No..." Ryuji shook his head after he collapsed on his knees.

"What a worthless piece of trash, getting emotional so quickly... how dare you raise your hand at me. Though it was only temporary, have you forgotten my kindness in supervising track practice?" Shadow Kamoshida asked darkly.

"Wasn't no practice--it was physical abuse! You just didn't like our team!" Ryuji hit the floor with his hands while looking down.

"It was nothing but an eyesore! The only one who needs to achieve results is me! That coach who got fired was hopeless too..." Shadow Kamoshida smirked, "Had he not opposed me with a second argument, I would've settled it with only breaking his star's leg."

"...What?" Ryuji gasped while lifting his face a bit.

"Do you need me to deal with your other leg too? The school will call it self-defense anyway!" Shadow Kamoshida chuckled devilishly.

"Dammit... am I gonna lose again...? Not only can I not run anymore... the track team is gone too 'cause of this asshole...!" Ryuji said sorrowfully.

"Ryuji..." Akira mumbled sadly.

"So that's why..." Morgana trailed before Kamoshida stepped with more force on his back.

"Once these two are dealt with, you're next. Hahahaha....!" Shadow Kamoshida laughed hysterically.

"Ryuji!" Morgana called in pain

."Stand up for yourself!" Akira shouted.

"...You're right. Everything that was important to me was taken by him... I'll never get 'em back...!" Ryuji mumbled. 

"Stay there and watch. Look on as these hopeless scum die for nothing because they sided with trash like you." Shadow Kamoshida smirked again.

"No... that's what you are..." Ryuji said while standing up on his feet, "All you think about is using people... you're the real scumbag, Kamoshida!" Ryuji said while slowly walking towards the ruler. 

"What are you doing? Silence him!" Shadow Kamoshida ordered.

"Stop lookin' down on me with that stupid smile on your face!" Ryuji yelled while pointing on Shadow Kamoshida with his finger.

"You made me wait quite a while." 

That voice which rang inside Ryuji's head caused his eye color to turn from brown to golden while holding his head from the unimaginable pain. 

"A-Aaaagh...!" Ryuji cried in pain as he dropped on his knees.

"You seek power, correct? Then let us form a pact."

"Since your name has been disgraced already, why not hoist the flag and wreak havoc...?"

"The 'other you' who exists within desires it thus..."

"I am thou, thou art I..."

"There is no turning back..."

"The skull of rebellion is your flag henceforth!"

Ryuji lifted his face up to expose the metallic skull mask that appeared on his face.

"Hmph. What can you do...? Cower in fear and watch!" The guard captain who was apprehending Akira said while drawing his word up. 

"Aah..." Ryuji struggled while trying to remove the mask away from his face.

"Nnnngh... hraaaaaaaaaagh...!" Ryuji yelled on top of his lungs as he ripped the mask off causing blood to drip all over his face.

A crazily strong wave of blue flames enveloped the entire room and creating a massive wave of wind as Ryuji's scream never stopped. When the blue flames settled down, it took the form of a pirate riding a ship like a skateboard. Ryuji's clothes were changed as well, and they consisted of matching black jacket and pants with knee pads, a red ascot, combat boots, and a pair of yellow gloves. He lifted his face up to smirk in victorious at Kamoshida's Shadow.

"Ugh... This one as well?!" Shadow Kamoshida asked. 

"Right on... wassup, Persona..." Ryuji looked at his gloved hands in awe.
