Chapter 13 this might be the longest yet.
Normal POV
A burst of flames erupted from the hand of a certain bluenette "Like this you need to focus the power into your hand concentrate discard all thoughts and CONCENTRATE."
"This is quite hard I never thought it would be that difficult" The heiress said as she put up her hand to create a ball of ice but nothing happened.
"This isn't easy it took me a week to master this" Minato replied as he turned around to see his other teammates all working hard Junpei 's hand flared up for a while but nothing happened after that Akihiko was the best among them he created a orb of lightning after a few tries but still could not have it appear long enough and Yukari like Mitsuru didn't make any progress at all.
The bluenette released a sigh "Relax think that its your persona instead of you feel the sensation you feel when you use your evoker" he commanded then turned to Junpei "DAMMIT discard all the filthy thoughts going in your head and concentrate" and this angered Junpei as he protested "I ain't thinking like that" he yelled and Minato retorted "Well I don't see flames around your hand so the theory is true you good for nothing pervert" he yelled and this angered Junpei as he screamed "DAMMIT I AIN'T THINKING LIKE THAT I CAN DO THIS SHIT" he yelled and closed his eyes and flames erupted enveloping his hand seeing this Minato smirked "Mission accomplished" he pointed at the still flaming hand.
"I...did it? YEAH I did it woohooo" the cap wearing teen jumped up and down the flame still present until Minato spoke "Don't get ahead of your self keep your concentration and throw that ball of fire towards me" he commanded and Junpei was surprised "Are you sure? what if you get hurt?" Minato shook his head "I wont now throw that it is as much as important as creating it" Junpei nodded and pulled his hand back closed his eyes the flame glowing brighter untill he threw it at Minato by that time it was the size of a little basketball the blunette lazily lifted his hand towards it switched to Apollo and caught the fire in his own hands then summoning a wind spell from the other hand to blow the fire away.
"Excellent Junpei that was terrific" he clapped for the cap wearing teen who quickly recovered from the display of Minato's power and grinned.
"I did it in a few hours it took you a week" he boasted.
"I was like...9 years old?" he answered causing Junpei to go silent Minato turned towards the other members who were looking at both of them the blunette clapped his hands "Forget about this concentrate about finishing yours" he said as all of them went back to summoning there elemental magic.
A few hours later...
Everyone almost perfected the art of charging spells into there hands which impressed Minato.
"You all perfected it that was truly splendid" Minato clapped once again for his teammates they even learned to charge dia spells which would be a big help in tartarus.
"Using power like that will be truly helpful during our operations" Mitsuru commented as she created a small ice dagger in her hand "I can perform executions without using the blindfolds" she thought as she smirked.
"Yeah I can create hotdogs whenever I want baby" Junpei yelled and Yukari rolled her eyes "Jeez stupei your such a kid."
"The feeling of charging a zio into your fist is simply awesome the shadows better be ready for my thunder punches" Akihiko said as he threw some jabs.
"But what was that purple energy you created Minato-kun?" Yukari asked Minato turned towards her "That was an almighty attack and as far as I know that is the strongest magic there is." he answered.
"I want to learn almighty attacks too" Junpei added in. "That depends on your persona" Minato answered as he looked at his left hand "Heh...but they sure were difficult my hand would turn into a bloody mess the first few times" he chuckled.
"Really? are they that difficult Arisato?"
"Yeah it felt like thunder and fire striking togather they would the flesh off my bones in a millisecond they sometime even exploded at my face" the redhead winced "That does sound painful."
"Do you always...push yourself like that Minato-kun? even though there is pain in it?" Yukari asked and Minato smiled at this "I have to...I push myself to my limits and beyond them becoming the best I can be." he answered and then looked up "I ain't letting anything like that happening again..." he thought.
Flashback...
A yellow moon glowed illuminating the green tinted city.A boy with blue hair wearing a t shirt and shorts was on his knees sobbing while a girl with orange-red hair laid bloodied a few yards away from him and beside her was a shadow that looked like a hound with red eyes snarling at the dead body of the girl.
"No..." The boy whispered. "No.." his whisper became a bit louder.
"DAMMIT NO" he yelled drawing the attention of the wolf type shadow the boy punched the ground until his knuckles were covered in blood."NO KILLED HER HOW DARE YOU" he yelled at the shadow the boy gritted his teeth and stood up "I DONT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT ANYTHING GO AWAY!" he yelled and dark energy was starting to envelop him his eyes taking a colour of pitch black "JUST DIE" he yelled and then dropped to his knees clutching his head in pain "Ugh..." Behind him a being covered in black carrying a huge sword his face hidden in a birdlike mask appeared the summoning was causing immense pain to the bluenette but the boy stood up "I don't care about the pain I know it all too well physical and emotional and this fuels my rage I swear I will end ALL OF YOU" he screamed "THANATOS ATTACK" he ordered the black monster and it obliged flying towards the shadow and slashing it "Don't stop reduce it to ashes" The boy ordered again "Darkness Fire" Thanatos screamed and black flames enveloped the shadow making it scream horrifically after a few seconds the shadow disappeared Minato fell to his kness as Thanatos dissappeared.
Minato panted hard his mind was hazy and his body was about to shut off any second but ignoring the pain he walked toward the body of the red haired clasped her hand "I-It i-isn't fair h-how you l-left me like t-they did" he sobbed but rubbed his eyes "But I swear I wont run away anymore I might have been a deadweight you had to carry around but one day I'll make you and them proud of me" he squeezed her hand harder "What ever those things were I'll kill them all even...if I have to die I swear." With those words he collapsed beside his sister.
End Flashback...
"DAMN IT" Minato screamed with a mix of hurt and rage before clutching his head "I FAILED BEFORE BUT I WONT FAIL AGAIN" the lights started flickering on and off the whole dorm was shaking and safe to say everyone was was surprised and scared.
"W-Whats happening to him?" Junpei asked terrified.
"A-Arisato a-are you okay? Mitsuru asked Minato who was still holding his head.
"M-Minato-kun?" Yukari was horrified.
"Snap out of it Minato" Akihiko said in desperation the whole dorm could collapse if this continued.
Minato started panting his body stance relaxed and the darkness vanished the lights became normal and the mini earthquake was slowly lifted his head.
"*pant* sorry about that" he said with a look or sorry.
"W-What the hell was that?" Junpei asked he was sweating.
"Anger...just anger I kept inside for years" he sighed "Sorry I'll try to control it it wont happen again." He was expecting the others to say about how much a monster he was but the exact opposite happened.
"Your anger is justified Arisato" Mitsuru stepped forward "Losing someone that imporatant but still having the will to live and fight is simply phenomenal for that you have my utmost respect"
Minato was shocked "You really feel like that?" he asked and they all nodded.
"Yeah your a beast Minato and not in a bad way" Akihiko said.
"Yes I wish I could be as strong as you Minato-kun" The brunette said.
Junpei merely nodded clearly not liking the attention Minato was Minato felt happy even after witnessing the horrific event they still wouldn't run away from him they truly..were friends.
"Thanks everyone that means alot" he flashed them a smile
SMASH...
Fool social link level 3
"I think we should skip on going to tartarus today we'll go tomorrow agreed?" Minato asked and they all nodded after saying there goodbyes they went into there rooms and the day was over.
Minato POV
I was walking towards the school with the summer uniform that wasen't that different just missing the jacket today was the result day I was wondering how did I perform who cares it'll be okay as long as I pass the test the test.
Yukari greeted me as I entered the school "Morning" she chirped to which I replied "Good morning."
"Its already May time flies don't you agree?"
"True its getting really hot" she was wearing the summer uniform the white shirt and ribbon the cardigan was tied to her waist.
"Yeah but the worst has yet to come the heat is gonna be unbearable." she replied.
"Meh you learned how to charge wind spells just create a wind whenever you feel hot" I advised her and she nodded "Good idea."
"Ummm...Minato-kun you always listen to that one song the one you are listening to now which is it?" she asked true I always listen to music even tho they are at low volume so I can hear other people.
"This song keeps me motivated." I replied "Found it years ago and since then listening to it non-stop its catchy and it lits a fire inside me whenever I'm feeling down."
"What the name?"
I took one of my earphones and gave it to her she took and placed in on her ear.
Dreamless dorm ticking clock~!
I walk away from the soundless room~!
Windless night moonlight melts~!
My ghostly shadow to the lukewarm gloom~!
I will burn my dread~!
I once ran away from the god of fear~!
And he chained me to despair~!
Burn my dread~!
I'll break the chain~!
And run till I see the sunlight again~!
Oh I will run burning all regret and dread~!
And I will face the sun with the pride of the living...~!
She stood there for 3 minutes completely listening to the song.."I-Its really amazing" she replied removing the earphone.
"I know and it kinda tells my whole story running away from fear and then burning it down" I said.
"I wish I could be like you" she said looking down what does she mean? "What do you mean?" she looked away "I still haven't gotten over it all my dad's death and how my mom acted after that I try to fight it as much as I can and sometimes I win but I can never put it behind me like you did." Poor girl.
"You will just keep fighting and you will burn the dread" I said with a smile and she smiled back we both walked into the classroom and me like usual slept...answered a question and slept again.
I woke up during lunch break when somebody yelled "THE RESULTS ARE UP EVERYONE" geez whats there to yell about.I stood up and went to the side of the faculty office to check my score Yukari and Junpei were already there.
"Hey Minato-kun" Yukari said.
"H-Hey man" Heh man since morning Junpei was terrified. We pushed our way towards the board and found the positions.
"Hhhmmm I scored above average well thats fine I'm okay with it what about you Junpei?" Yukari asked more like teased Junpei to tell his god awful scores
"D-Dont ask leave me alone" he turned around and sulked back poor guy.
"Hhmmmm...where is my name it should be there" I looked up and there it was and it was suprising.
1st Position :Minato Arisato.
Wow I knew I would do good but 1st position never expected that either I did really good or the other students are retarded. "Woah Minato-kun you scored the highest" Yukari said with awe I shrugged "Yeah ain't the first time lets go before lunch is ov-" hell?
"Oh Minato-senpai is a genius"
"He's a charming badass genius"
"I wish he would teach me"
They were there looking at me like I was made of gold and could disappear at any second every school I went to there were always fangirls hell why can't they leave me alone? Akihiko is more popular than me began dragging me around but luckily a teacher came and scolded the fangirls and they went away my life was saved.
I returned to my class when lunch was almost over when. "Arisato" I turned around to see the redhead standing and she looked...enthusiactic?
"Yo senpai what's up?"
"Arisato there is a special request that I have for you" request? wonder what it is.
"Oh and whats that?" I asked curiously and she replied "I want to join student council" man that will be a chore.
"Why me I aint that dedicated enough go pick someone like Akihiko who does his work with devotion" I gave excuses and the redhead shrugged it off "I want you to join because you know what it means to be a leader so will you be joining?" she asked again
"Well I -" she cut me off "Splendid I knew I could count on you Arisato" she smiled at me there aint anything I can do now I sighed "Alright I'm in what should I do?"
"Go to the faculty office and tell your homeroom teacher that your interested thats all Au revior" she turned on her heels and marched...with grace out of my homeroom.
After attending student council meet a the head of discipline committee Hidetoshi who looked proud but okay enough and a shy girl Chihori who was the treasurer after saying my intro and then leaving school I took the monorail back to the dorm and entered it when...
"Woof Woof" The dog more like Koromaru was there barking happily I remebered senpai told me that he was cleared a few days ago but the doctors insisted on him getting a few more tests.
I always liked dogs and a dog who is a persona user that was epic.I walked over to him bent down and patted his head and he purred heh
"Cerebeus of the strength arcana" Interesting "Well then I'll be expecting you to kick ass in tartarus" I held out my hand "Paw five" and he obliged and hit my hand with his paw that dog is intelligent.
We all decided to go to Tartarus today since one of our member were exploring quite easily I took care of the stronger shadows and the team was leveling up quite nicely we were at floor 32 a few more floors untill the barrier why was it there? I wonder but who care we have to reach the top.
"All right the team will be Koromaru,Yukari me and Akihiko-senpai" After seeing his score Junpei just wasen't into anything but Yukari told me he'll be okay after a while.
We took the terminal and were on floor 32 the disgusting smell of blood and the pathetic aura of shadows still there I just hated them to the core they screwed up my life badly if I could only meet the creator of shadows I'll give him a pretty good ass kicking but why do shadows are in so much number here? Why does this tower exist? Surely it did not sprung up when the world was created there must be an answer to this but right now I better concentrate on the fighting.
Koromaru was really good his size allowed him be the quickest member in the team he attacked with a knife in his mouth and just howled whenever he wanted to call upon the three headed dog guardian of hades after I tore the guardian of the floor to pieces we reached the barrier and went back to ground floor where redhead and Junpei greeted us...well redhead did.
"What was that skill Arisato?"
"Thunder Reign this is the strongest electricity spell I have it also shocks the enemy" I answered
"The explosion was pretty huge and after that the guardian was reduced to ashes" redhead said with a smile "We are really doing exceptionally and its all thanks to you Arisato"
"No problem but" I turned to the rest of the members "Don't rely on me you have got to get strong enough and by the end of the year surpass me and NO ARGUMENTS" I said before anyone could say anything.
"You are strong Arisato but I wonder would you be able to take on IT?" whos she talking about?
"Oh you mean the thing right?" Akihiko said.
"Ummm...what are you talking about?" I asked curiously
"There is a special shadow inside of tartarus we have only encounterd it once but it is extraordinary powerful and maybe more than you" she sounded grim.
I waved "Dont worry it might be strong but as long as we work as a team we will take anything down." I said with confidence and she nodded "Clearly you don't lack confidence" she chuckled "Thats the best gift anyone could have" Yeah I agree.
"But will you ever fight in tartarus? I mean explore it with us?" I asked she was the star of the fencing club and her persona was quite powerfull.
"I used to fight before but its been a while maybe I could join you in the operations if there was another persona user with a support persona but the chances are slim to none as of now"...bummer "Anyway the dark hour is almost over lets go back to the dorm" I said and we all walked back.
This was the second time Sakura was not present with us and it felt really good he pisses me off with her rude attitude sure I am rude sometimes but not that much she cusses almost all the times and you just dont get a decent answer out of her and there is that creep Ikutsuki they both are the odd ones in this group are they doing something against the group?
"Yo Minato keep up the pace bro" Junpei yelled his confidence was back and I was glad.
"Coming asshat" I yelled back and then picked up my pace but wondered "What if there is indeed another support type persona user nearby?"
and...done suggestion and reviews are welcome as always.
