4/29 Friday
Shujin academy, located in Aoyama-Itchome, in this school there was a young woman with brown hair in a bob cut with blunt bangs and a French-braid styled headband that matches her hair color, she was Makoto Niijima, 18 years old, third-year student as well as the Student Council President
She was sitting in the library located in the third floor, her books scattered on the table as well as models from her previous exams, doing her best to focus
-Lets see, if I apply this formula, I should get the right answer
She wrote some numbers and symbols for some moments
-Good, now if x equals 6, y should equal
-Excuse me, mind if I seat? someone said
Makoto looked up from her books to see another student; he was a young man with wavy unkempt black hair and dark gray eyes and wears glasses, his hands were in his pockets, for some reason, she had a feeling that she had seen him before
-Oh, sure, let me make some space for you Makoto said as she moves her stuff so that the male student could place his study material
-Thanks he reply and took his seat
He took out some of his books as well as his notebook, Makoto took a quick glance to his material and by the contents, she was able to deduce that he was a second year student; she shrugged and went back to her own work
Another exercise was over, she felt pleased, but before she could get onto the next one, her pen fell to the ground, she bend down and took it, she got up and notice once again the male student, she saw that he was scratching his head a bit, he must have some problems with the exercises
-Look, there he is a whisper was heard
Makoto look to the other table where she saw another student talking to a friend
-He was Ren Amamiya, right? another student said
And that is when it hit her, Ren Amamiya, the second-year 16 years old student that was transferred to Shujin, Makoto had heard about him, she was informed about his probation, not to mention the rumors that were flying around, she didnt pay them attention though, she had her responsibilities to fulfill, not to mention her own problems
She look at Ren again, he still seemed to have difficulties
Makoto was now in thought He seems to need help but… what would the others said? she was a bit worry, could it affect her somehow if people see her with a supposedly criminal ? Then again, she is the Student Council President, is her job to help her fellow classmates
-Do you need any help? she asked
Ren looked up Huh?
-With your exercises, you seem to have some problems
-Oh, thanks
-No problem, now, show me where do you have problems
-Here, look he showed her his notes as well as the exercise he was trying to solve
-Hmmmm….. You are using the wrong formula she said
-Really? he said
-Yes, you should use this one she point to the right formula in his book if you follow the example, you will get the right result in the task, try it
He did what he was told, the exercise was complete
-All right he said clenching his fist with joy
-Good job Makoto said Now lets move to the next one
Both of them kept studying in silence
Ren stretch his arms, he was getting tired
-I think we should stop for today; we have been working for a while now Makoto said after checking her phone, it was 6:00 PM
-Yeah, I have to grab some things for boss or he would get angryRen said
-Boss? Makoto thought You should be fine although I suggest you keep practicing
-I know, never been good at maths but you know
-I can give you a general idea of what they were like when I was a second-year
-All right, that would be helpful
-I have to warm you, I am going to drill into you, so prepare yourself
-Well, arent you being forward? Ren had a smirk in his face
-Excuse me? Makoto asked confused
-Nothing, lets study together he said
-Right, how about tomorrow?
-Sorry, I cant tomorrow, I have something else to do
-Oh
Ren phoned vibrate, he took it out to check it
-I have to go, see you later He got up and left the library
-See you Makoto said Wait, we didnt exchange our numbers or anything Makoto left the library in order to catch up with Ren, but it was late, he was gone Oh well, I guess Ill see him around she went back inside to grabbed her things Still, I wonder what he meant by Boss? Does he work somewhere or anything? Makoto thought
Ren was walking down the street of Shibuya; he was carrying a bag of coffee beans, his phone sounded, he took it out
-Hello he said
-Yo, whats up man? someone said
-Hi Ryuji, is everything ok?
-Yeah, I have everything prepared for tomorrow, Ann is ready as well, believe me, that asshole is going to pay
-All right, but lets not get careless
-I know, by the way, where were you after class?
-I went to the library to study a bit
-Surprised you can study there, with all the rumors about you
-Let them talk, I dont care, I know the truth
-Yeah, how did it go?
-It was hard at first, but I got some help
-For real? From who?
-It was… Ren stopped in his tracks Huh, I didnt ask her name or anything
-What the hell?
-Tell him that it is still more studying than you do Ryuji certain companion in Rens bag said
-Morgana wants me to tell you that it is more studying than you do
-Tell him he can choke in a hairball Ryuji said pissed Wait, you said her, so it was a girl
-Yes
-Does she has a friend? he asked
-I dont even know who she was
-Come on man he said disappointed
-I have to go, see you tomorrow
-See ya
Ren hung up, he went to the train station in order to go home, after all, tomorrow was a big day, although, he still wondered who that girl was
4/30 Saturday
A lot of students were gathered in the bulletin board near the entrance, they were all watching a red card that was placed there
-A calling card? a student said
-I heard it was already posted by the time everyone got here another student said
-What is going on? Makoto said, she got near the boar and read the card
Sir Suguru Kamoshida, the utter bastard of lust. We know how shitty you are, and that you put your twisted desires on students that cant fight back. Thats why we have decided to steal away those desires and make you confess your sins. This will be done tomorrow, so we hope you will be ready. From, The Phantom Thieves of Hearts
-What is this? she was shocked just as her fellow students
-Wait a sec… Is someone gonna take something from Mr. Kamoshida? a student said
-So the rumors are true? another one said
- Phantom Thieves? she thought
Kamoshida walked furiously
-Whos responsible for this? he said, he read the contents of the card Did you do this?! Or was it you?
All the students ran away, Kamoshida walked to 3 particular students, Makoto hide on the other side of the wall
-Was it you two?
Makoto gasped, of the 3 students, she recognized one in particular
-Ren she thought
-So what if we did? Ren had a cocky smile on his face
-Eh, its not a problem. Youll be expelled soon anyway Kamoshida walked away
Makoto was confused; she looked at Ren once more, could he have done it? She didnt have any proof, all she could do was wait
5/2 Monday
An assembly was called; all the students were reunited at the gym
-Whats with the sudden assembly? one student said
-I bet its about that girl that jumped the other day another said
-They dont have to tell us not to commit suicide
An obese man entered and stand at the podium
-Lets begin this school-wide morning assembly. As you all know, a tragic event took place the other day. Thankfully, we have been informed that she has pulled through, but it will take time until she recovers. Everyone here has a bright future ahead. I implore that you rethink the importance of life and-
-Ah! Ann yelled
Entering the gym, was Kamoshida, he was looking to the floor, he seemed to be depressed
-I… have been reborn. That is why I will confess everything to you all
He walked until he was standing in front of all the students
-I have repeatedly done things that were… unbecoming of a teacher. Verbally abusing students… physically abusing my team, and… sexually harassing female students. I am the reason why Shiho Suzui tried to kill herself!
He knee down and began to cry, everybody in the room were shocked
-I thought of this school as my own castle… There were students that I sentenced to expulsion, simply because I didnt like them… I will, of course, rescind those… I am truly sorry for putting innocent youths through such horrible acts… I am an arrogant, shallow and shameful person. No, Im worse than that…
He lowered his head
-I will take responsibility and kill myself for it!
After hearing that, all the students were talking between themselves
-Mr. Kamoshida! Please get off the stage for now! the director ordered him
-Everyone, return to your classes one of the teachers said
-Oh my god Makoto thought
-Dont run, you bastard! Ann yelled
Everybody looked at her
-Shihos still alive even after all the things that made her want to die! You have no right to run from this!
Kamoshida began to stand up
-You are right… You are absolutely right... I should be punished under the law and atone for my crimes… As of today, I will resign from my position as an instructor and turn myself in. Someone, please call the police!
-Wow Ryuji said in disbelief
-This mornings assembly is over! Return to your classes immediately! a teacher said
-Isnt this just like what that calling card said? a student said
-Does this mean the Phantom Thieves thing was real? another one asked
-Everybody, return to classes at once! the teacher said again
All the students went back to their respective classes, including Makoto, but she took a glance to Ren who was talking to Ryuji and Ann, quite the interesting combination she thought
5/6 Friday
Days has passed since Kamoshida revelation, and boy the school has become quite the mess
-Did you wish to see me, Principal Kobayakawa?
-You saw the state Kamoshida-kun was in, didnt you? Its as if his personality has completely changed. Something is definitely wrong here. From what Ive heard, it appears as though some students were meddling in his business. If they did something to him… Who could they be?
Makoto had an idea about who could be, but she kept quiet
-Are you saying that these students may have cause Mr. Kamoshida to change? she asked
-That is what I wish to know… Even if it takes some probing into student matters… I would like you to look into this for me.
-It is true that there are many rumors regarding Mr. Kamoshida, but… Do you mean all this talk about those Phantom Thieves?
-It is undeniable that Mr. Kamoshida changed in some way. Id like to have a grasp of the cause. This shall also ensure that I handle the mass media and police in the correct fashion.
-Oh
-I will continue speaking to Mr. Kamoshida myself. Unless you find whoever did this, these irresponsible rumors will likely never die down. Dont you agree?
A little smile appeared in his face
-You have been at the top of your class since day one. Your conduct is good, and the teachers favor you. I could write you a recommendation for any college of your choosing, Makoto Niijima
-Th-Thank you
-Your lineage must certainly play a part in this excellence. Your sister is still young, yet she holds an admirable position at the Public Prosecutors Office, no?
Makoto eyes went wide
-If something disappointing were to happen here, that wouldnt reflect very well on your sister… Do you understand?
-Yes she said, although she felt a bit guilty about it
-How wise. No wonder youre our student council president. Id appreciate if you looked into this as soon as possible. I ask that you begin at once.
Makoto looked down to the floor for a second
-Yes. If you ll excuse me then
She left the principal office, she knew what to do, this was her chance, to get into college, to help her sister, she just have to do what she was told, just like always, but...
She felt uneasy, why? This was the right thing to do, and she was going to see it through.
So this is the end for now, did you like it? Soryy if there wanst many interactions between Ren and Makoto, I wanted this first chapter to set the grounds for what comes next, that is where the real fun begins
