Side Chapter 3.1: Book Club
Location: Library
Time: 8:30 am
During her free day Blake decided to head to the library and read some books to pass the time. As she finished one book and placed it back to the shelf then starts to walk towards another shelf and search for another book. As she grabbed the book she noticed Makoto and Koga on a table each reading a book. She decided to approach them.
"Hey guys." Blake said as both Makoto and Koga turns to her.
"Hey." Both Koga and Makoto said.
"So what are you guys doing here?" Blake asked.
"Well we decided to read some books just to kill time." Koga said.
"Yeah we were bored so we decided to read here." Makoto said.
"Interesting. Can I read with you guys?" Blake asked.
"Sure." Both Koga and Makoto replied before Blake sat right in front of them.
"So what are you guys reading?" Blake asked.
"Well I was reading a book about a young man's journey to the unknown. Where he discovers new people and amazing new places." Makoto replied.
"That sounds interesting." Blake said.
"Unfortunately the hype kind of died a bit by the second to the last chapter." Makoto said.
"Oh…that's bad." Blake said before she turns to Koga. "What about you Koga?" Blake asked.
"It's about a story of a man who's trying to save his failing marriage." Koga replied.
"That's kind off dark. Even for you." Blake said.
"But so far it is properly written and the story is getting interesting." Koga said as Blake starts to notice that both were being critical on the books that they are reading.
"Wait a minute. Are you two being observant on the books that you guys are reading?" Blake asked.
"Yes." Both replied.
"That's unexpected coming from you two." Blake said.
"Well basically I don't always hunt down Horrors all the time. I need a hobby." Koga said.
"And I don't always hunt Shadows and listen to music all the time. I need literature in my life." Makoto replied.
"It's just weird coming from you two. And…" Blake said as she thought of something. "Well I kind of wanting to start a book club ever since I came here to Beacon." Blake said.
"Well why not start now?" Koga asked.
"What?" Blake said.
"Yeah. I mean the three of us we can get this thing started." Makoto said.
"You guys mean that?" Blake asked.
"Of course. I mean we can share our insights on the books we read and give our comments about it." Koga said.
"That be great." Blake said as Dante and Sora walked in.
"Hey guys." Dante said.
"So what are you three doing?" Sora asked.
"In fact these two boneheads are willing to join the club." Makoto said as both Dante and Sora were surprised to what Makoto said.
"Wait what?" Both Dante and Sora said.
"That would be great! We can start tomorrow and do it at your dorm." Blake said as she turns to Dante.
"Wait what?!" Sora and Dante said.
"Then the four of us will each get a book and start reading them now." Koga said.
"Then I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye." Blake said before she left the library.
"What just happened?" Sora asked.
"I think we are now part of a book club." Dante said as he turns to Koga and Makoto. "Thanks you two." Dante sarcastically said as Makoto and Koga grinned at him as a response.
SOR
Location: Team DKSM dorm
Time: 2:00pm
All four boys waited for Blake to start the first day of their book club. Each member has a book and read it as they wait for Blake. After a few minutes a knock on the door was heard and Sora opened the door and saw Blake was not alone.
"Hey guys." Blake said.
"Hey." Team DKSM said as Blake noticed that she brought her teammates along.
"And I supposed you found new members for the club?" Sora asked.
"That's right. I brought along my teammates to be part of the book club." Blake said as she pushed the trio inside the dorm.
"Why did we get involved into this?" Yang asked.
"Because she said that there would be free cookies if we joined." Ruby annoyingly said.
"I'm sure that it was a big fat lie." Weiss said.
"Oh really?" Makoto said as he pulls out a plate of cookies which Ruby grabbed and starts eating.
"Can we start now? I mean we've been waiting for you guys for at least three minutes." Koga said as everyone starts to sit on the floor in a circular formation.
"Now that everyone is here. I officially declare this book club in session." Blake said as she closes the book before sitting down. "Now let's start. Who would want to share their thoughts on the book that they have read?" Blake asked as Makoto raised his hand.
"I would like to begin." Makoto said as he stood up and show his book. "So this book is called "Hero's Journey" It is about a young boy's adventure to the unknown, learning new things and meeting new people. It also about the progress of his maturity throughout the journey." Makoto said as Weiss raised her hand.
"That sounds a bit nice." Weiss said.
"Yeah it does." Ruby said before Makoto stomped his foot to the ground which caused Ruby to startle.
"However, the story gets uninteresting by the time you reached the climax and the story was going downhill at that point. Basically the journey was nothing more but a dream apparently." Makoto said before he sits back down.
"So would you recommend this book?" Blake asked.
"At first I would recommend it, but after finish the book I would say no." Makoto said.
"Okay, so who's next?" Blake asked the group before Koga raised his hand.
"I would like to go next." Koga replied before he stood up. "This is the book I have chosen." Koga said as he shows the book to everyone. "It's called "The Broken Husband". And it is one of the saddest books I've ever read." Koga said.
"How sad? As in bad?" Yang said as she attempted a pun while everyone groaned.
"No I meant so sad that the wife found a new husband." Koga said.
"Oh…" Yang said.
"But it was not that bad in the end as the husband was able to live a life that he can control. Overall it a great book, so many great moments, so many memorable parts." Koga said. "Overall I would recommend it to many people." He added before he sat down.
"Alright I'll go next." Blake said before she stood up. "So I have this." She said as she shows the book. "It called "Howling in the Moon" it is a story about a beastly protagonist who can never reach the object of his affection." Blake said as Ruby raised her hand.
"So how was it?" Ruby asked.
"It was romantic, it was tragic and I loved every part of it." Blake said. "Anyway I would recommend this book to everyone." Blake said before she sat down.
"Alright so who's next?" Makoto asked.
The book club went on for at least an hour. Sharing their opinions and thoughts on the books that they have shared during the session. After finishing the book club session Makoto, Koga and Blake were the only ones left in the dorm.
"So we doing this again sometime?" Blake asked.
"Sure why not?" Makoto replied.
"It was fun. I hope we can get more members." Koga said.
"I can arrange that. But anyway guys see you." Blake said before leaves the dorms.
"See ya." Koga and Makoto said as Makoto hears a voice in his head.
"Though art I… And I am thou…" the voice said.
"Though shall have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Fortune Arcana…" The voice said before fading away.
Joining the book club to help his friend has unlocked his power of the Fortune Arcana.
"So that actually interesting. Who knew Blake wanted to start a book club." Koga said.
"Maybe she was scared at first but now she has the courage to express it." Koga said.
"Or the fact that she saw us reading a book at the library." Makoto said.
"Maybe. Let's not talk about this for now, I don't Dante think that we are stealing his girl." Koga jokingly said.
"I agree." Makoto said before he heard another voice in his head.
"Though art I… And I am thou…" the voice said.
"Though shall have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Emperor Arcana…" The voice said before fading away.
Having a good time his teammate who not known for having fun has unlocked Makoto's power of the Emperor Arcana.
After having a conversation with Koga Makoto decides to listen to some music from his earphones.

Location: Beacon Open Field
Time: 3:00 pm
Pyrrha was walking around the hallways of Beacon before she noticed Makoto, Jaune, Ren and Sora who were wearing color coordinated shirts and sports shorts along with rubber shoes. Performing pushups with Dante and Yang who were wearing tank tops matching the colors of the original costumes along with long jogging pants monitoring them. She decided to approach them.
"Come on Jaune, you're getting a little slower. Put some more muscle to it." Dante said as he monitors Jaune.
"Looking good boys!" Yang said as Sora, Makoto and Ren were at equal pace.
"Hello everyone." Pyrrha greeted the group.
"Hi Pyrrha." The group said.
"So what are you guys doing?" Pyrrha asked.
"We're working out." Dante said before he turns to Jaune. "Come on Jaune!" Dante said as Jaune tries to pick up the pace.
"I'm trying!" Jaune said as he struggles to keep up with the trio before giving up and lies to the ground.
Dante blew a whistle to stop everyone from performing pushups.
"Alright guys take five." Dante said as Yang and the trio before he turns to Jaune. "Listen Jaune if you're going to be fit by the time of the dance, you need to keep up with the others." Dante said.
"I'm trying Dante. I'm just don't have the energy to keep up with you guys." Jaune said as Pyrrha helps him up.
"I know you have Jaune. You're just not showing it." Pyrrha said.
"I'm trying Pryyha. It's just…" Jaune said as he looks down.
"How about this I go get changed and help you up, what do you say?" Pyrrha asked.
"Sure why not?" Jaune said.
"Okay I'll be right back." Pyrrha said as she leaves the duo to change.
After five minutes Pyrrha returns and was now wearing a brown tank top along with black jogging pants which made Jaune starred before being snapped back to reality by Dante.
"So shall we start?" Pyrrha asked.
"Sure." Jaune said.
"All right guys, let's resume the workout." Dante said before he blows the whistle and the resumes their workout as Jaune and Pyrrha performs some pushups while Sora, Makoto and Ren jogged around the area and Dante and Yang performing pull up on nearby monkey bars.
"So Jaune what are you going to wear at the dance?" Pyrrha asked while doing push ups.
"Well I was going to ask you the same thing Pyrrha." Jaune said as he was able to keep up the pace with Pyrrha on the push ups.
"Well let's just say that expect the unexpected." Pyrrha replied. "You're keeping up with me." Pyrrha said.
"Thanks." Jaune said before Makoto sat on his back giving him a hard time to keep up with Pyrrha.
"Sorry Jaune, but all good things must come to an end." Makoto said as he sits on Jaune's back while he struggles due to Makoto's weight.
"Come on Jaune you can do it." Pyrrha motivating her partner while doing pushups.
Jaune attempted three pushups but due to the weight of Makoto Jaune gave in and lie on the ground. Pyrrha stopped and helped Jaune back to his feet.
"Fifty pushups. Not bad." Pyrrha said.
"Thanks." Jaune said as Dante blew his whistle.
"How many you got?" Dante asked Yang.
"Ninety-five. How about you?" Yang replied to Dante.
"One hundred twenty." Dante simply replied before they head to Jaune and Pyrrha.
"So what happened?" Yang asked.
"Well Jaune falls on his face again, but manage to keep up with Pyrrha." Makoto replied.
"Nice. Hey Yang why don't you call the two egg heads sprinting over there." Dante said as he pointed at Sora and Ren jogging.
"You got it." Yang said before running towards the duo.
"All right the four of us on the other hand will focus on one thing right now." Dante said.
"And that thing would be?" Jaune asked before the trio slowly looked at him.
"You!" The trio said before grabbing him.
"Wait what?!" Jaune said before being dragged by the trio.
So the trio focused on Jaune getting fit. Making him go through grueling exercises that can make his body twisted like a pretzel. After a few hours the trio were almost successful as Jaune was tired for the day. So tired that Pyrrha and Ren must carry him.
"Sorry that it had to come this guys." Pyrrha said.
"Hey at least he's willing to go the distance for the dance." Makoto said.
"Yeah I know." Ren said.
"Anyway we'll see you guys." Pyrrha said as she and Ren carries Jaune back to the dorm.
"See ya!" Makoto said as he heard a voice in his head.
"Though art I… And I am thou…" the voice said.
"Though shall have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Empress Arcana…" The voice said before fading away.
Willing to aid Pyrrha on any way possible Makoto has unlocked his powers of the Empress Arcana.
After the workout the group decided to return to their dorms.
