This idea came up this morning when I was watching Friends. The Summary explains it all so there's no reason to tell more. Still, this is sorta like a one-shot/Prologue. I want you all to tell me what do you think about it. You like it, hate it? Tell me, leave me a review and meanwhile, check out my others Persona Fanfiction. I'm sure you'll like it.
Prologue: The Special Class
4/6 Thursday
The classroom was completely filled with silence. The students inside were all ignoring each other. The chain of events that lead them to be in the same classroom wasn't pleasant at all. It all started with an argument that quickly turns into a battle that no one could stop. To think that the school year started less than a minute ago and now everyone in the classroom is ignoring each other and glaring at each other. The four student (That's right, four students) that participate in the fight are now in the same classroom, not because they were punished but because they are "Special". Not in a bad way, but actually in a good way. They can do what the rest can't, they can accomplish greater things... The problem is that for the rest of year they have to cooperate, they like it or not. The door opens and the homeroom teacher enter, he slowly walks to the teacher's desk and leaves some papers on top of it. He grabs a chalk and writes his name on the blackboard. He then turns around and looks at each student, his eyes were wide open and a creepy smile was invading his face. His whole appearance was creepy. He has a long nose, pointed ears and bulging and bloodshot eyes. Not to mention that he is wearing a black suit with white gloves.
"Hello, students," He said with a calm voice, maybe too calm. "Welcome... To Jung High School. My name is Igor, I'll be your homeroom teacher from this day forward" Igor look at the door like he was expecting something or someone. "I... Actually, have an assistant, but looks like she's late... Like always" He didn't seem bothered at all, quite the opposite. "Principal Philemon leave me in charge of this class because he knows that all of you would be, without a doubt, the best of the best this High School has seen. Now then, I'll call each of you by name and you'll raise your hands" Igor grab the papers he leaves on the table and read out loud. "Naoya Toudou" He said and a boy with black hair, brown eyes, and a piercing on his left ear raise his hand. He, like the rest of the students, was using the black uniform of the High School that consists of a Black jacket, white shirt, and black pants. The girls, instead of pants, were using black skirts. Naoya Toudou is the one that has his uniform in order, nothing was out of place.
"Present," Said Naoya.
"Good... Tatsuya Suou" Igor look around and Tatsuya raise his hand, he was at the back of the classroom, away from the rest. He has brown hair worn long with a center part and instead of his uniform, he was wearing a two-piece motorcycle outfit consisting of red pants and a matching jacket with a large 'X' symbol on its front. "Tatsuya... That's not the school uniform"
"... And?" Tatsuya asks. "What's wrong with my clothes?"
"There's nothing wrong with those clothes. I just wanted to know why you are not wearing the uniform, but that's okay. We'll talk about that later. Let's see, who's next...? Makoto Yuki?" Igor looks at the classroom and an auburn haired girl point at the blue-haired boy next to her. He was sleeping and with his headphones on. "Is that him?"
"Y-Yes" Said the girl. "I'm Kotone Shiomi, his cousin. I-It's a pleasure to meet you, sir" She said and Igor looks down at the list. She was next to Makoto on the list. The list wasn't in alphabetical order, it was in order in which they were transferred to the special class.
"The pleasure is mine, Kotone. Now, next is... Yu Narukami... Is he here?" In that moment the door open and a silver-haired boy came in, he was sweating and breathing heavily.
"I made it! I did it!" He looks at the class and then at Igor. "Please, tell me this is the right classroom. I got lost"
"Are you Yu Narukami?" Igor asks and the boy nodded. "Then yes, please, take a seat"
"Thank god!" Yu run to the desk next to Kotone and hit his head against the desk. "My legs hurt..."
"Now then... The last one is... Akira Kurusu" Igor count at each student and noticed that Akira is not here. "Where's Kurusu?"
"How should we know?" Tatsuya asks. "He wasn't at the entrance this morning. I bet he's stealing someone's wallet"
"Come on, he can't be that bad," Said Kotone. "Don't make assumptions like that. I think he's the exact opposite of what you think he is"
(Meanwhile)
"My wallet! That kid stole my wallet!" A man was chasing after Akira Kurusu that (by mere impulse) stole the man's wallet. A cat came out from inside his bag and yell at him.
"Akira, why the hell did you do it!?"
"You know why, Morgana. Because I'm the WILD CARD!" Akira said with a huge smile on his face. "He never saw it coming!" Akira starts singing the song Last Surprise.
"Stop singing that song! It stops begin funny the tenth time! You're getting late to school because of this!"
"I'll get in time! Just you wait and see!"
Igor claps his hand and look at his students. "Well, except for Kurusu, you all are here. Let's begin the class... First of all. You all know why you are in this class, don't you?"
"... Because we are different?" Kotone asks.
"Because of our power?" Naoya ask.
"Yes, as you all know, this school teach you to control and properly use your Persona. You all are Persona Users and everyone here present has the unique ability to summon more than just one... You all are Wild Cards. More special than the other Persona Users. When you graduate, it will be up to you to defend the world from Shadows and other unknown dangers" Igor explain. Makoto wakes up and yawn. He stares at Igor's nose and with a straight face he said...
"Oh... A goblin?" He said and everyone burst in laugh, even Tatsuya laugh. Igor keep smiling and the door open. A girl with short white hair and yellow eyes enter the classroom. She was wearing a blue dress that resembles a stewardess' outfit with five black-lined circles outside small yellow circles, blue gloves, a blue attendant-like hat, black leggings and blue, knee-length boots. Makoto couldn't look away from her, his eyes and her's meet and she smile at him, making him blush.
"This is Elizabeth. She, alongside other people, is my assistant and she will help me teach you how to control your unique ability. Tomorrow the other assistants will arrive and you'll be assigned to each one of them. In other words, They be your "tutor" in case you are stuck" Igor explained.
"I'm pleased to meet you all. My brother and sisters will come tomorrow so I hope we all get along" Said Elizabeth. She looks at Makoto and winks at him. He looks away.
"... This isn't what I was expecting" Naoya thought. "But it's better than I was expecting. Now I only need to get along with the others, but Kotone is a demon when she gets angry, she kicked our asses in the school gates and she didn't use her Persona yet. Tatsuya is a loner and the main reason the fight took place, he had to go and screw with Kotone. Makoto... He's lazy. Yu, he seems normal at least and as for Akira Kurusu... I didn't saw him yet, but I bet he's a good student" In that moment the window breaks and a black haired student landed on the floor with style.
"I did it!" He yells. "Wild Card, bitches! Akira Kurusu is in da house!" Everyone stared at Akira.
"... This classroom is doomed to fail" Naoya thought.
The Principal Philemon was looking outside his window, his white mask has the image of a violet butterfly wing on the right side of his face and the eyeholes do not show his pupils. He also wears a suit consisting of a black shirt and tie, a white blazer and white pants with black dress shoes. He also has long, black hair tied up in a ponytail. Philemon could see the courtyard from his window and his eyes focus on a strange black figure crawling in the courtyard. Philemon takes out his cell phone and makes a call.
"... Yes, it's me again. There's a Shadow in the courtyard and I need to... Yes, thank you, Maya. I'll leave it to you... Yes... Yes, you can take Aigis with you. Still, it's just a Shadow" Philemon hung up and turn around. In front of his desk, there was a man sitting on a chair. He was wearing a black business suit, a long red scarf, black turtleneck and black pant. His smile was a little disturbing. "Where were we Nyarlathotep?"
"We were in the part where I talk about how my High School is going to destroy yours. Not only we have Persona Users, but we also have people that can summon actual demons. At the end of the year, the tournament will begin so you better choose your students wisely" Said Nyarlathotep, his smile never leaves his face.
"I have faith in my students, Nyarlathotep. I can't say the same thing for yours. You use fear and hate to teach them... I'm pretty sure we will win this year... again" Philemon said with a smirk behind his mask.
"Oh...? Are you sure? Then how about a bet?"
"... Go on"
"I'll give you the details later, now I have to talk with the Principal of Megami High School, YHVH. Unlike you, he's really busy" Nyarlathotep turn around and leave. He reaches the door, open it, bow to Philemon and turn into a black butterfly that flies away from the office. Philemon sigh and turn to the window. He saw how Maya Amano and Aigis take down the Shadow without problems.
"The tournament... This year will be harder to maintain our position... But that doesn't matter right now. What's important is to teach the students the basics... If they want to succeed in life, they need to know how to be a Persona User"
