Then suddenly a student with blue hair got spiked right onto his face making his fall.

"Someone take his to nurse's office." Kamoshida said as one of students carried the blue hair boy.

"He'll pay soon enough." Ryuji throw the ball.

The three of us try to ask the students about the physical abuse.Whenever we ask, all of them denied about it.

"Dammit!Nobody's willing to talk." Ryuji punched the wall.

"They're all afraid of Kamoshida." Ren-nii explained.

You sigh not get anything clue.

"Hey is that the the twins I heard about?" Two female students past them whispering.

"And why that girl with Sakamoto? Are they dating?" A group of male students also whispering.

"Don't bother with it,Rin." Ren - nii said to me.

You nod.

"In fact,we're the ones people are scared of.They don't know anything."

"Then what should we do?" You put your hand at your chest.

"Why not ask the girls?The guys won't want talk about it."

"There's one." Ryuji spot the girl sat on the bench. "And Takamaki's with her?"

You saw two familiar girl. One from that Ren-nii class and the other one that you just bumped the other day.

"Suzui-san,there's something I wanna ask you." Ryuji approach both of them. "There's this rumor about Kamoshida and the volleyball."

"Hey! Where do you get off spreading rumors,Sakamoto?!" Takamaki cut off Ryuji. "What about the volleyball?!"

"I'm not talking to you." Ryuji replied as we both Ren-nii standing beside Ryuji.

"Anyway,don't involve her in any nonsense.Shiho is working hard to get to nationals." Takamaki explain.

"Nationals,huh?" Ryuji put his hand on his hip. "Then that's more of a reason not to ignore it! Hey Suzui,you seriously don't care if things keep doin' this way? Wouldn't you be happier getting to nationals without submmiting to that jerk?" Ryuji said.

You saw the girl fellig scared after she hear that.

"Hey! You're not making sense! Let's go,Shiho.Don't listen to this." Takamaki take her friend hand and leave the area.

"She's sttuborn as ever." Ryuji muttered.

"Do you know her?" Ren-nii asked.

"I've known her since first year of middle school,Suzui too."

"......."

"Yo,that was Lady Ann,right?" A suddenly voice can be heard.

"You say something?" Ryuji asked Ren - nii.

"No."

We turned saw a black cat approaching us,talking?!

"That voice!"

"Morgana?!"

Morgana climbed at the table and scretching himself.

"What are you doing here?And you're a cat?A talking cat?"

"I'm not a cat! It's what happened when i came here."

"Morgana,I'm so glad you okay." You smile seeing him.

"Mwehehe,thank you Pretty Lady."

"Oh,just call me Rin."

"Right Lady Rin." He said laying himself on the table."Oh right, I have a proposal for you guys.You can use the Palace to 'reform' Kamoshida."

"For real?!"

"I can teel you how,if you agree to lend me a hand."

"What do you mean-"

"Listen! I'm giving you important info." Morgna licked his paw. "There's a risk involved with reforming.Worst case,Kamoshida could die."

You gasped. 'Die?!'

"Even so,will you do it?" Morgana ask as we three just stay silent there. "Guess you can't decide right away,huh?Think it over carefully,you three." Morgana get down from table and walked away.

Ren-nii told me that he and Ryuji still find about that 'coaching stuff'. You found two of them just talked to blue hair boy.

'Is that the boy got spiked from Kamoshida?' You walked towards them.

"Is he forcin' you to keep quiet?" You hear Ryuji ask as you stand beside your brother.

"That's." The blue hair boy looked down.

Suddenly we saw Kamoshida approaching us.

"What's going on here?" He said then turned to blue hair boy. "Mishima,aren't you going to practice?"

"I-I'm not feeling well today." Mishima replied.

"What?Maybe you're better off quiting then." You saw Mishima face looking shocked when he hear that.

"You're never going to improve that crappy form unless you show up to practice."

Ryuji standing in front Kamoshida. "Didn't you hear? He ain't feelin well!" Ryuji glared.

"Well,Mishima? Are you coming to practice or not?"

You turned to Mishima. 'Please,no.'

".....I'll go." Mishima replied.

"As for you,any more trouble and you'll be gone from this school for sure." Kamoshida give warning to Ryuji.

"Bastard!" You hear Ryuji muttered.

Kamoshida turned looking at Ren-nii. "Same goes for you.Didn't the pricipal tell you to keep in line?" He yelled. "All these unsetting rumors are making the students anxious,after all."

"That's your own goddamn fault." Ryuji said.

"This won't get us anywhere,Let's go Mishima." He say to Mishima.He turned his back. "Get with the program."

"Yes sir!" Mishima obey.

"That asshole! He's going pay for this."

"There's no point." Mishima speak.

"Huh?!"

"Proving that he's physically abusing us....is meaningless.Everybody knows,the principal,our parent....they all know,and they all keep quiet about it."

'Oh no...' You surprised after hearing that.

".....Don't be a pain.You don't understand what I'm going through.Shoudn't you all people know that nothing's ging to help....?!" He said before he leave.

"Dammit!" Ryuji kick the ground.

"What now?" Ren-nii ask.

"I'll try one more time to persuade the other guys.That's all I can do."

"Are you gonna be okay?" You asked.

"Don't worry,If I find something I let you two know." You saw him leaving.

"......."

"Come on Rin,let's just go home."Ren - nii said.

You nod. "Yeah." Before you leave you told your brother to go on ahead.

"Why?"

"My bag left in classroom,so I need to get back."

"Just be careful." You nod.

'I guess all the student went back home now.' You walked towards to your desk. You packed all your stuff and put into the bag.
