Author Note: Well this chapter got out a bit earlier than I expected, however I do want to say beforehand that alot of this chapter is world building, and most likely too much of it lol. I actually cut alot from this chapter cause it was getting so bloated, and because of that, I wasn't able to put the sex scene I was planning into this chapter. I apologize greatly, as I underestimated how much I was going to need to write some of this shit.
On the bright side, I do plan to have said scene in the next chapter, plus an extra one if I have the time for it. Still, I do apologize and I hope you all can forgive me.
I hope you all enjoy and I'll see yall next chapter!
Leblanc-Day 2(6:45AM)
The morning sun creeped into the small attic room as Akira, awake for pretty much the entire night yet not really feeling the effects, sat at his desk with notes in front of him; All the information that he had learned in the mysterious 'Velvet Room' was written down along with the changes to Sojiro that he had acted on.
He had spent the night not only writing down everything to make sure that if something happened to his mind, not only could he recover the knowledge, but also for any future generation of his in case he should fail. Not only did he write everything that had happened down, but he was also formulating plans for the people called Ryuji and Ann; deciding how best they should serve him.
As he reviewed everything, he heard the door downstairs open and soon enough he heard footsteps coming up the stairs before Sojiro emerged with a tired look "Ugh, morning."
Akira gave a nod towards him as he quickly hid his papers as he turned towards Sojiro and crossed his legs "Morning Sojiro, ready for another day in paradise?"
Sojiro gave a small laugh before he let out a yawn "I guess you could call it that, though the same goes for you eh? Today you have to start going to hell called Shujin. Man, they really treated you like a piece of shit yesterday didn't they?" Sojiro reached inside his pocket and pulled out another cigar as he gave it towards Akira "Here, might as well burn one before heading on."
Akira nodded as he took the cigar and let Sojiro light it before he placed it in his mouth, and though this was only the fourth cigar in his life, the other three coming yesterday, he was quickly not only finding a licking to them, but getting somewhat addicted.
Still that was a health matter to worry about later.
Blowing the smoke out of his mouth, Akira looked over towards his bag that was on top of his bed as he gave a sigh "This is a waste of time you know, it's not like I'm going to learn anything I don't even know. I'm smarter than all the teachers there I'm sure."
"Still hasn't lost that confidence of yours have ya? Still, I can understand why you feel that way, especially considering that the school has some unsavory rumors about it. I'm sure you've heard of them, how they only care for their top sport and academic students and are willing to bury others if it means those specific students can get ahead...Well...Thats just the rumors of course."
"Yeah I've heard them, well more like I looked them up last night. It's none of my concern, if they stay out of my way then they can do whatever they want...However if they get in my way…" Akira went silent afterwards as Sojiro scratched the back of his head, knowing that Akira knew how to break someone that crossed him...Well...He knew it because Akira had changed his cognition.
"Well lets hope it doesn't come to that, I don't have the money to give you a part time job in case you get expelled. Although you're free to help out if you wish, and of course I still have the monthly allowance to give you though it's not much."
"It's fine, whatever amount works for now." Akira finished up his cigar before throwing it into the trashcan as he pushed himself up. "I'm going to head on, figure I'd get a good feel of the city before heading to school."
"Hm? You still have a few hours until classes even start, you sure you don't want to rest for a bit longer?"
"It's fine, I have to go to the store anyway to pick up a few things."
Akira wasn't lying when he said that either.
He didn't have much money, but the money he did have was going to be used on his first two targets, especially that girl Igor mentioned named Ann Takamaki.
From the research he looked up on his phone, he had found out she wasn't Japanese, at least not fully. While her mom was indeed fully Japanese, her dad was fully American and because of that she looked more western than anything. She was apparently a rising star in the model industry and was the talk of many teenage boys on message boards.
However, a bit deeper dive gave some interesting information. For starters, she appeared to have a reputation of a whore around school, and apparently was the bitch of the PE teacher named Kamoshida.
That was a rumor of course, and Akira knew better than to believe baseless rumors, but there were some things that had evidence backing them up that Akira was able to form a few theories off of.
The first was that there were quite a few pictures and videos on message boards that showed Ann eating things that most models would avoid like the plague. Ice Cream, Candy, Sweats, Cake, pretty much everything one would want to avoid if they were a model. Yet not only did Ann keep her figure, but there were reports of her being more athletic than most.
This made Akira think that to compensate for her eating habits, Ann worked out quite a bit to make sure she never had any fat come onto her. However, the fact she was athletic and appeared to have some muscle definition, meant she might have been overdoing it some.
That wasn't the only thing that evidence behind it, it also had to do with her clothing. Every single picture and video Akira could find online when it came to Ann all had one thing in common. Everything but her face and hands were covered in some kind of clothing and though her muscle definition could be seen, parts of her clothing were also...Pushed out so to say. This led to a somewhat obvious conclusion that Ann may have not shaved anything, which of course would be a problem for a model.
Still it was a theory with evidence off the internet, but Akira felt confident about this and so he was heading towards the store to grab a bunch of sweets. She would be part of his first test when it came to changing the public cognition, and he needed her to be well…
A model that was Very fat and Very Hairy, yet was still the lust of every teen boy and some teen girls.
Changing the cognition of the public to not see anything wrong with Ann would be the first test he had set himself to try to pass.
Then there was Ryuji Sakamoto.
Information about him online was much harder to come by for obvious reasons, although Akira was able to gather bits and pieces of information on him.
Ryuji was the former star of the Shujin Track Team, yet he was apparently blamed for the track team being completely shut down. He apparently attacked the new coach, which again was Kamoshida, who shut down the entire team in retaliation.
Since then he was labeled as a troublemaker and was often involved with the police and was lucky not to have been expelled from school yet. The message boards seemed to believe that he was kept around simply for Kamoshida to make an example out of to the school but it couldn't be proved.
Ryuji at the very least would be a good servant for Akira. He didn't know how palaces of those with distorted desires would be, so having the extra manpower would be needed. Plus he could be a good lackey in the real world and a potential scapegoat if it ever came to that.
Speaking of distorted desires, his research into his first two subjects both linked to one man.
Kamoshida, the PE teacher and star coach of the Shujin Men and Womens Volleyball teams.
Considering Igors words, Akira was already able to theorize that the first palace ruler he'd have to go after would be Kamoshida. He didn't quite know what he was doing to the school, if anything, but he didn't really care if he was being honest to himself.
However, Kamoshida would come last. First things first.
Changing Ann and Ryuji to meet his own desires.
Quickly stuffing his papers into his bag, Akira threw it over his shoulder as he gave a hand wave to Sojiro "I'm off."
"Yeah, good luck." Akira gave a simple head nod towards Sojiro as he descended the steps and walked through the cafe as he opened the door and left.
Tokyo-Day 2(7:00AM)
Akira walked through the streets as he saw stores and vendors opening up for the day, along with businessmen and women walking to and fro as they went to work for the day. Having studied maps of Tokyo before he even arrived, Akira found the convenience store as he went to step inside.
"Ah, excuse me sir." Akira was stopped as a woman ran from the counter and to the door as she bowed "I'm sorry, but students aren't allowed to shop until after school has let out."
"...It hasn't even started yet." Akira tried to side step her but she didn't allow it as she held her arm out.
"I'm sorry sir, but It's just the rules." Akira stared at her as the woman shrunk back some from his glare, but kept her stance as Akira let out a sigh through his nose and shook his head.
"Fine, whatever." Akira didn't have time to argue with her, he knew there were stores on Central Street that he could go to, though it would be more of a pain. "I'll be back."
Akira muttered under his breath, which caused the woman to go a bit pale as he turned and left the building as he entered back onto the street. Moving his hair out of his face, Akira adjusted his bag as he began walking, listening in on what the people walking around him were saying.
'Did you hear about the train accident? What the hell is the government doing?'
'I know right!? It's a huge mess right now!'
'Ugh I don't want to work today, my boss is such a pain in the ass.'
'Be careful! I hear he has eyes and ears everywhere!'
Akira rolled his eyes at the idiots walking around him as he kept heading down the road as he almost tuned out everyone around him.
That was until he turned a corner and bumped into someone.
"Ah!"
"..." Akira kept quiet as the person he bumped into fell onto the ground, and when Akira looked down at her, he saw a woman in...Fortune Teller attire?
"H-Hey watch where you're going...Ow…" The woman rubbed her back as Akira raised an eyebrow, before offering a hand to her "T-Thanks…"
While Akira didn't help her up out of the goodness of his heart, he knew that he had to keep a public facade while out and about. Until the entire public's cognition was changed to his will, he had to act. "Don't mention it. Although, I don't see many gypsies out in Japan."
"I-I'm not a Gypsie! I'm a Fortune Teller, and I was just on my way to Shibuya thank you very much!"
"Fortune Teller?"
"Yep! I read people's fortunes and if they are going through some troubling time in their lives, then I sell them one of my many fortune stones to help them!" The woman reached inside her bag and pulled out some strange stone.
Upon seeing it, Akira almost called it out for what it truly was and how worthless it was, but he held his tongue as he nodded "I see...Interesting...I bet it's a rather hard job to do isn't it?"
"It can be, but it's rewarding as well. Being able to help people by giving them my stones is such a wonderful feeling, you know?" The woman gave a smile before her neutral expression returned "Anyway, I should be going, as I said I have to get to Shibuya to set up my shop! Feel free to stop by sometime, I don't have age restrictions or anything when it comes to getting your fortune read."
"Hm...Perhaps I will…" The woman smiled at him before looking at her watch as she went wide eyed.
"Oh no, I have to go!" Not saying anything else, the woman quickly bowed as she grabbed the suitcase with her and raced past Akira, vanishing into the crowd of people.
Akira just kept looking at her as she ran as he held his chin and thought.
"Hm Fortune Teller...Perhaps she could be useful."
Tokyo-Bus Stop(8:46AM)
After looking through Central Street, Akira was able to find the store he was looking for and bought the sweets that he needed as he opened his bag and let them fall into it. Now all that he needed to do was walk to the school after taking the train.
If only he spent part of night looking at the weather, he might have known it was going to rain today.
As the rain started to pour down, Akira was able to find a bus stop and run underneath it. Still, he had a bit to go before he reached the school so he was still rather annoyed.
As he stood under the bus stop as other students ran by, Akira gave a sigh as he thought of ways to get to school without getting drenched.
As he was thinking however, he almost missed as a student ran underneath the bus stop with him, her face covered as she shook "I hate the rain…"
It was a girl based off the voice, and Akira was going to ignore her and go back to thinking.
That was until she lowered the cover on her face.
As soon as she did, Akira saw her long blond hair flow out as she shook her head, her twintails flying out as she let out a sigh.
After a moment, she looked over to Akira and gave a smile towards him before she looked towards the ground.
Yet Akira wasn't able to catch his words in time before he spoke "Ann Takamaki?"
"Huh? Y-You know me?" Akira wanted to bite his tongue for stupidly blurting her name out, but there was no going back now.
"Oh uh...Sorry. I've seen you in a few magazines and the like, you're a really good model." Akira used his silver tongue to compliment her as Ann just stared at him for a moment before giving another small smile.
"Thanks! I'm not the best model, but glad you're a fan! What magazine did you see me in?" Ann turned towards him, as Akira browsed his mind for sources and the such that he saw while he was doing his research.
"I mostly saw you in the Golden Weekly and Royal Bloodlines magazines, the ones where you were doing alot of singular modeling for various product placements and the like." Ann just stared at him a bit wide eyed, surprised he knew so much as Akira coughed into his hand "A-Ah well, I brought most of those magazines home with me so I read them alot. I guess I just have everything memorized."
Ann just kept her stare on him for another moment before another smile, one looking more genuine overtook her face as she shuffled some to look at him directly. "Not many people really care enough to compliment my modeling, so thanks...it means alot."
Akira gave a botox smile back towards her as thoughts ran through his head, wondering if this small conversation was enough to get her key to get into her palace to begin his tests.
However, before he could think on it further, a car pulled up beside them and rolled down the window as Akira saw the man inside, recognizing him from the online posts he had studied up on. "Hey there, need a lift?"
The man directed his voice towards Ann, as Akira quickly caught the look of disdain and disgust flash on Ann's face before her more neutral look took over as she gave a fake smile towards him "Ah, sure thanks."
Ann began walking around toward the other side of the car as the man looked at Akira, an intense aura of disdain now coming from the man directed at Akira "Do you need a lift too?"
Akira raised an eyebrow towards the man, he almost wanted to pull the man out and teach him a lesson for the disrespect...Yet Akira kept his desires inside as he gave a wave "I'm good, thanks."
Akira didn't try to hide the annoyance in the voice as the man just rolled his window back up as Akira caught Ann looking downtrodden as she sat in the passenger's seat, Akira could guess that even if he said yes, the man would just drive away anyway.
After rolling his window back up, the car drove away quite quickly as some water was splashed onto Akiras leg as he just watched the car drive away, more thoughts and ideas rushing into his mind on how to get revenge on the man when he suddenly heard footsteps as a blond haired man ran past him and screamed out.
"Dammit! Screw that pervy teacher!" Akira looked at the blond boy and was surprised at who it was...Though after Igors words, perhaps it would be more surprising if it wasn't him.
"Pervy Teacher?" Akira spoke with more fake emotion as the boy looked behind and stared at Akira.
"Huh? Who are you?"
"Akira, Akira Kusuru...Transfer Student." The boy raised an eyebrow before his eyes went wide.
"Oh! Are you that transfer student? The one with the criminal record?"
"You know about that?"
"Tch, the entire school knows. You know why by the way? It's because of that bastard you just saw in the car, his name is Kamoshida and he's a fucking dick. He leaked out that we were having a transfer student and that they had a criminal record, and do you know why he leaked it? Because he has to make everyone and anyone look like shit compared to him, it pisses me off!"
The boy went off on a rant, which wasn't surprising considering his alleged history with Kamoshida according to the message boards. After he seemed to calm down, Akira nodded as he placed his hands into his pockets "I see, well he certainly sounds like scum."
"I know right! It pisses me off!" The boy went on another mini tangent as he shook his head "He thinks of the school as his own damn Castle!"
"Castle?" Akira said the words nonchalantly, but as soon as he did he heard a voice echo from his pocket.
Location Located
"Hm?" Akira pulled his phone out from his pocket and saw that some kind of weird red and black eye was on it, the words 'Kamoshida' 'Castle' and 'School' were all on the screen. "Is this…?"
"Hm? Whats up?" The boy walked over towards Akira who gave a wave of the hand before he placed the phone back into his pocket. "Huh? Well whatever...Oh! Guess I should introduce myself huh? Names Ryuji Sakamoto!"
"Nice to meet ya as well...We should prob get going though instead of talking."
"Ah shit you're right, guess we should." Ryuji turned and took a step, but as soon as he did, both him and Akira held their heads as a sudden headache took over "Agh!...Ugh, I wanna go home."
Ryuji kept walking forward, but Akira immediately noticed that everything was off...Mostly because not only was it not raining anymore, but because his outfit had changed...Not to the kingly one he had before, but to a thief outfit in a way, gloves and mask and all. Noticing that Ryuji was walking on like nothing was wrong, Akira began to follow, taking his mask off in case Ryuji looked back and only paid attention to his face.
?-?(8:59AM)
The duo walked in silence for a bit before Ryuji sighed as he took a turn down an alleyway and cracked his neck "Man I'm not ready for school today...Not that I ever am ready for that shitfest."
Akira didn't reply as the duo left the alleyway and turned towards the school.
Well, they would have turned towards the school.
If it wasn't for the fact that the school was nowhere to be found, and in its place was a large castle. "W-What the fuck!?"
Ryuji yelled out at he looked at the school, jaw dropped as he looked over towards Akira with a shocked expression.
"Dude what's going on!...And what's going on with your outfit!?" Ryuji had just now noticed Akiras change in antire as he couldn't believe what was going on, and also wasn't paying much attention beforehand.
Not acknowledging the outfit comment, Akira walked up to the gate leading into the castle as he held his chin "A castle...Yes I guess this would fit the details that I know so far."
"D-Dude, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing...Come on, let's go." Akira began walking into the castle, surprising Ryuji as he went wide eyed.
"H-Hey wait up!"
As soon as the two walked inside of the castle, Akira took in it's architecture. It was indeed, a castle one might find in medieval Europe and was like a fantasy to anyone who might have entered.
"Dude, what is this place…?" Ryuji spoke as he walked around like a lost child as his eyes had a look of curiosity and fear in them, his body trembling with each step he took "I-I had no idea this place existed."
"Hm…" Akira didn't reply as he kept looking all around, his eyes finally stopping as he looked up the staircase and saw a painting of Kamoshida depicted as a king. "So, my hunch was correct."
"H-Huh? What are you tal-"
"Halt! Intruders!" Before Ryuji could finish, a knight of some sort came over towards them holding a sword and shield. Akira took a step back as he felt an uneasy presence and dangerous aura from the knight.
"Huh? Oh, nice costume…" Ryuji walked over to the knight kinda casually, it was obvious he wasn't detecting the same things that Akira was detecting. "Where'd you get it? Party Town or something?"
Ryuji kept asking stupid questions, but the knight didn't reply as he kept looking at the two of them.
However before Ryuji could continue on, more knights suddenly surrounded them as Ryuji took a step back "H-Hey, whats going on-AGH!"
Ryuji couldn't finish as one of the knights hit him in the back, knocking him to the floor as pain engulfed Ryuji's face as he instinctively grabbed it. "Grab the intruders!"
"H-Hey! Y-You're going to break my fucking back man!" Ryuji yelled out and tried to get back up, but before he could he was hit again by one of the knights, knocking him out cold.
"I got this one! Grab the one in the costume!" The knight grabbed Ryuji and yelled out towards the other to go after Akira, as they all nodded and turned towards him.
Akira took a somewhat defensive position as he searched within himself, wondering if Arsene had something he could fight these guys with. As he searched however, he was suddenly saved by an unlikely hero.
"Garu!" A high pitched scream suddenly came out as wind wrapped around one of the knights and crushed it as it dissolved into shadows. "Your Majesty!"
Akira looked over towards the sound of the voice and saw…"A cat?"
The monster cat of sorts ran over towards him, giving a quick bow as it turned back towards the knights "Your Majesty, escape this place! I can hold these guys back!"
"Your Majesty? Are you one a resident of that Velvet Room place?" Akira spoke to the cat, but it just shook its head as the knights advanced.
"Not exactly, but we can talk after you're safe!" The cat positioned itself, as suddenly a persona came out from it as it again yelled "Garu!"
More wind circled around one of the nights and crushed it to death as it vanished, as the remaining two guards looked at each other "Notify King Kamoshida!"
The knight nodded as it left, leaving just one behind as the cat looked back "Please Your Majesty! Leave before-"
"Hold on." Akira cut the cat off as he stepped up beside of it as he kept his eyes on the knight. "I'm not one to run away from a fight, also I'm the King here, so I'll be the one giving the orders."
"But Your Majesty...Can you even fight…?" The cat looked up at Akira who just gave a smirk as he cracked his neck.
"Your little distraction gave me time to search in myself, and because of that...Arsene!" Akira called out Arsene as he pointed at the knight "Ravish them!"
Akira called out as Arsene seemed to nod, as suddenly a dark wave of energy surrounded the knight and before it knew what was happening, it was suddenly destroyed by the dark energy "Curse Attacks! Nice going, your Majesty!"
Akira nodded as he looked down at Ryuji "Cat, grab Ryuji and lets go! We need a plan of attack!"
"Ah Your Majesty my name is...Ah, alright!" The cat just nodded as it grabbed Ryuji, having a surprising amount of strength, as it hauled him out of the castle as it followed Akira out.
As Akira ran across the drawbridge, the cat suddenly yelled out to him "Your Majesty, run through the blue door!"
"Blue Door?" Akira scanned his eyes everywhere before they finally landed on a bluish door near the end of the drawbridge. "Is that…?"
Having a good feeling where the door would lead him, Akira ran towards it as the door opened on it's own and allowed him to run through it with the cat tailing him.
Velvet Room-Day 2(9:12AM)
As Akira ran inside of the door, his clothes suddenly changed back to his school clothes as he paid them almost no attention as the room morphed back into the throne room of before as Akira slowed down and began walking as he saw the steps leading up to his throne, the cat right behind him.
"We should be safe in here your Majesty." The cat was heard breathing hard as it dropped the still unconsciousness Ryuji to the ground, as Akira turned around and stared at the two of them.
"I have questions and you're going to answer." Akira didn't try to hide behind a facade anymore now that they were away from the public.
"A-Ah of course Your Majesty! If I have the answer, I can provide!"
Akira nodded as he crossed his arms and began talking "So tell me, first of all, what are you, who are you and where are you from?"
"I'm glad you asked Your Majesty! My name is Morgana! A being that was created right here in the Velvet Room to serve you and guide you along your journey! I am also to protect you and ensure your safety."
"I see, then that explains why you know about me and was trying to protect me. Well if you were created to serve me, then let me just state that you will be assisting me in taking over the world and will do anything that I need, understand? Also if I ever found a need to use a cat in my schemes, you will of course offer up yourself."
Despite the very sexual implications there, Morgana just nodded as bowed towards Akira "I understand Your Majesty! You have my full support no matter what path you walk, and will take your word as law."
"Very good, you learn quickly." Morgana gave a cheeky grin as he took it as a compliment before he looked down at Ryuji.
"Speaking of your path, your Majesty, I believe now would be a good time to enter into this boy's cognition and change him to your whim."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"Well he's currently unconscious, and not only that, but his view of what's reality was shattered thanks to accidentally entering Kamoshida's castle. Because of that, now is the perfect time to change his cognition as his defenses will be little to none. I would act fast though, he's likely to build those defenses back up once he awakes."
"Well, I need a key to enter his cognition according to Igor, and that can only be acquired through some sort of connection with the person; such as living at Sojiro's cafe."
"Not to worry, venturing into a palace unknowingly with you has pretty much burned you into his memory! That should be enough for the key to form here! Master Igor should have it, if you wish to summon him your Majesty!"
Giving a nod towards Morgana, Akira turned around and walked up the steps as he sat down on the throne and…
"Welcome to my Velvet Room." The voice echoed out as suddenly the twins were on his side again with Igor in the middle of the room in front of him. Morgana and the body of Ryuji to the side as Igor looked at them "Very good Morgana, you have protected the King well."
"Ehehehe~' Morgana purred as he scratched the back of his head, yet Akira didn't waste any time as he spoke.
"Morgana said that you have the key to Ryuji's heart, is this true?"
"Hehe, that is correct." Igor held out his hand to reveal the key as he continued "Also like Morgana said, Ryuji Sakamoto's heart is fractured right now to his view of reality being broken. Because you are acting so quickly, you should be able to change his heart without any interference. Also, though her key has yet to form, your conversation with Ann Takamaki did get you closer to being able to access her cognition."
"I figured, a little more pushing should let me get into her cognition, and thanks to the research I studied up on, I know what makes her tick and the like." Akira said as he pushed himself up from the throne and began walking down as held his hand out for the key.
"Before you go, I have new information for you regarding the palace ruler of the school."
"Hm? What is it?"
"Tomorrow, the PE Teacher Kamoshida will rape a girl by the name of Shiho Suzui because Ann Takamaki denied his advances. Though you're free to ignore this information, it may serve you well to stop her from getting raped...Or unlocking her cognition to stop herself from trying to kill herself."
"Hm...So she attempts suacide? I see...I will admit I have plans that regard around two girls, so I appreciate it." Giving actual thanks for once, Akira grabbed the key from igor as he walked over to the chained door and inserted the key into the doors and twisted.
"One last thing...Anytime you wish to access the Velvet Room, just have Morgana guide you here. I will work on a more permanent solution for you in the future."
Akira just nodded at Igor as the chains fell to the ground and the doors opened, the yelling of people running could be heard as Akira walked through the door, as Igor and the twins vanished as Morgana was seen bowing towards Akira.
Ryuji's Cognition-Day 2(9:20AM)
As Akira walked through the door, the sounds of people running and whistles being blown got louder and louder as Akira's clothes changed back into that of his royal attire from when he entered Sojiro's cognition.
After walking for a bit, a bright engulfed him and when he opened his eyes, Akira saw that he was back at Shujin...Well to be more exact, the practice building at Shujin as the main building wasn't present. Not only that, but he was on some sort of track as he saw teachers in gym clothes walking around.
"Hurry up Sakamoto! You have five seconds left!" Akira looked over towards the voice and saw a man yelling at Ryuji, who was running around the track at an insane speed before he crossed the goal "Yes! Thats a new record Sakamoto!"
Ryuji gave a grin and a thumbs up towards the man as he wiped his head "Hell yeah Coach! I can do this all day!"
"Thats the spirit Sakamoto!" The coach and Ryuji shared a laugh as he began walking over towards them as he shook his head.
"Pathetic." Rolling his eyes as the display, Akira walked in front of Ryuji as he held his hand out "Brain Jack!"
"Alright Coach! Lets go-" Ryuji suddenly went quiet as the world froze, his eyes going dead as Akira established easy control over him.
"Now then...They said that your defenses should be non-existent thanks to your perception of reality being destroyed, so let's test that...Ryuji Sakamoto, from this day forward, the man you see in front of you, Akira Kusuru, is your King! He is your ruler, he is your god, he is your world! His word is law and he can do nothing wrong! You worship him, devote your life to him, will assist him in making this world his kingdom!"
Akira applied the Brain Jack, and he was admittedly expecting pushback like he had against Sojiro, but instead…"Akira Kusuru….My...King….Ruler….god...world….My...Everything...I….Worship….Devote….Assist….Him…."
Akira smirked as he gave a nod as he patted Ryuji on the shoulder "Thats right, you learn well. You will be my number two knight, behind Morgana, and will do everything you can to protect me as well! I may even reward your service in the future but do not expect a reward, you must earn it! You will tell me everything about your past and why you have such a problem with Kamoshida, as you will help me take him down!"
Ryuji nodded, reciting the words over again and again as Akira kept his smirk, yet soon he noticed the cognition begin to change.
The track team began to vanish and were replaced by a singular copy of Akira, who was looking down on Ryuji with a look of authority as the track field began to change and morph into a brick and stone, and soon the cognition changed into one of a throne room, though not a throne room Akira recognized.
"So this is his interpretation of a throne room? Interesting…" Akira looked back down at Ryuji's who's outfit had also changed to one of metal armor, a sword on his side and shield on his back as Akira shook his head "Your cognition of a knight is so old fashioned…"
Akira sighed as he looked back down at Ryuji, as he went to tie up a few loose ends "Ryuji Sakamoto! For the time being, when we are at school or in the public as a whole, you will refer to me as your best friend and nothing more! You will still take orders of course, but you will disguise them so one catches on! Once I learn how to change the public's cognition, then you can drop the act. But not until I say so, understand?"
Ryuji nodded and once again repeated the words as Akira placed his hands into his pockets and looked back towards the door.
"That was easier than expected…" Aklra released the brain jack and the cognitive Ryuji blinked a few times before he quickly looked at the cognitive Akira and got onto one knee, as the cognitive Akira began to bark out orders as the real Akira left through the door he came through.
Velvet Room-Day 2(9:34AM)
It didn't take long for Akira to walk back into the Velvet Room as the door quickly shut behind him and the chains reappeared back on it as Morgana jumped up and bowed "Your Majesty! Shall we return to the real world?"
"No, not yet." Walking past Morgana, Akira walked back up to the throne and sat down, and after a moment the twins and Igor re-appeared as Igor chuckled.
"My My, you have quickly learned how to use your skills effectively, I'm impressed." Akira shrugged as he crossed his legs and motioned for Justine to give him a grape as she obliged.
Letting her drop the grape into his mouth, he chewed on it as he replied. "It's not that hard, changing one's cognition is as simple as projecting my will upon them. But enough about that, I have business here."
"Do not disrespect our Master, your Majesty!" Carolina yelled out towards him as she increased her speed of her leaf, yet Akira ignored her as Igor chuckled.
"Does it have something to do with the one named Ryuji Sakamoto? Perhaps about him acquiring a persona as well to aid you on your adventure?"
"I'm glad you don't beat around the bush...Yet that would be correct. He's useless to me in his current form, he needs a Persona like Morgana and I so he can assist inside of the palaces."
"Of course, you are not wrong...Justine." Igor called out to Justine, who nodded as the grapes vanished from her hands as she walked down from the throne and towards the still out cold Ryuji as suddenly a bucket of water appeared in her hands as she dumped it on the passed out Ryuji.
"A-Ah! Cold! Cold! Holy shit thats cold!" Ryuji yelled out as he hopped onto his feet and looked at Justine, water dripping down his face. "W-What the hell was that for!?"
"My master and his Majesty demanded it." Justine turned and walked back towards the throne as Ryuji raised an eyebrow.
"Master? Majesty? Who-" Ryuji's voice left his throat as he followed Justine up to the throne, his eyes landing on Akira who was sitting on the throne looking at him with a bored expression. "...!"
"Do not yell at my servants, Knight Ryuji Sakamoto." Akira spoke, as Justine resummoned the grapes in her hands and began serving Akira once again.
As soon as Akira spoke, Ryuji quickly fell to one knee as he shook his head "Y-Your Majesty! I-I didn't know, I'm sorry!"
"Well at least it worked." Rolling his eyes, Akira looked towards Igor and waved a hand "Alright, lets give it to him."
"Huh?" Ryuji raised an eyebrow as he looked at Igor himself "W-Who are you...A-And what's about to happen?"
Igor just chuckled as he snapped his fingers, and soon before Ryuji knew what was happening, he grabbed his head a sudden headache came over him.
"A-Agh!" Ryuji groaned in agony, his head was pounding more than he had ever felt it pound before as swear rushed off his face and onto the ground as he shook, a voice ringing out through his head.
I am thou...Thou Art I…
"W-Who are you!? Ah!" Ryuji screamed out even more, his eyes about to pop out of his head as he pounded the ground with his fist.
Your entire life you have been looked down upon and corrupted adults have abused you...Yet you now have someone to serve...A king to serve...Isn't that right?
"Y-Yes...T-Thats right...I have...His Majesty to serve!"
Then accept my power! Bring this world down to its knees, and help build his Majesty's Kingdom!
"Yes! I call upon your help! Captain Kidd!" Ryuji called out as a blue power radiated out from him and blew throughout the room as Ryuji's Persona appeared behind him as he pushed himself up with a smile "Ah hell yeah! This is awesome!"
"Ryuji Sakamoto!" Akira pushed himself up from his throne and pointed at him "Use your Persona to serve me well! We shall build my Kingdom and bring this world to its knees!"
"Yes, I shall devote my life to serving you, Your Majesty!"
Shujin Academy-Day 2(9:47AM)
After making sure Ryuji's loyalty was unshaken, Akira led Ryuji and Morgana out of the Velvet Room and into the real world.
However, as soon as they arrived back into the real world, Akira noticed something was off with Morgana. "Hm? Morgana…?"
Akira looked back at Morgana, who looked up at him and tilted his head "Yes Your majesty?"
"Why...Are you a real cat?" Morgana looked down at his body, which indeed proved to show that he had turned into a real life cat, and after a moment, Morgana looked back up with an worried expression.
"A-Ah, it seems this is the form I'll have during the day Your Majesty. I apologize if-"
"It's whatever, it actually can work out quite well. I mentioned before that a cat can be used in my schemes, and while I meant it more for the Cognitive World, this works out just as well. Speaking of Cognitive World, I take it that the castle Ryuji and I ventured into was Kamoshida's?"
"That would be correct, Your Majesty, that was the result of his distorted desires as he views the school as his personal castle. The only way to get rid of it, is to steal his treasure and change his cognition."
"I see, so it's different from the others. Well I'll have you explain more once I have Ann under my belt, along with that girl named Shiho...Speaking of, I plan to change the public's cognition overall...What would be the easiest way to do this?"
"Ah, that would require changing a place called Mementos Your Majesty, which is the public's cognition overall. How hard it is to change the publics cognition depends on what you're changing however."
"I figured, well that works just fine. Once under my belt, Ann and Shiho will be my first test subjects when it comes to changing the public's cognition. Speaking of them, the plan to control both of them starts now. Morgana, I want you to find Kamoshida's office and keep watch on it. If he takes Ann or Shiho in their, stop him from raping or inflicting violence upon them. I need to stop Shiho from killing herself after all."
"Understood Your Majesty!" Morgana gave a bow before quickly vanishing, leaving Akira and Ryuji alone.
"Lets go Ryuji, we're already late."
"Ah, right." Ryuji gave a nod as he placed his hands in his pockets, acting normal as instructed as the two of them walked over to the school gate which was just a few feet away.
Shujin Academy-Faculty Office-Day 2(9:52AM)
After walking inside of the school, Ryuji gave a quick bow and headed towards his classroom while Akira made his way to the faculty office.
After a quick look around, Akira found the office and walked in, as he saw his homeroom teacher Kawakami looking bored as she sat at a desk, looking up when Akira walked in as she gave a sigh. "You're late…"
"Sorry, I got lost." Akira went to his facade as he sounded genuine, as Kawakami gave another sigh.
"Well, I guess it is your first day in Tokyo. You also only missed most of Homeroom so I guess I can let it slide for today. Just...try to be on time from now on, you're on a short leash afterall."
Akira nodded, though he chuckled in his head, knowing that soon they would all be the ones on leashes. "Of course, I apologize."
Akira gave a bow towards Kawakami, who seemed a bit surprised but tried not to show it as she nodded "Well let's head to class, I'm sure your classmates will be pleased to see you."
Akira knew she didn't believe her own words, but didn't refute her as she led him to his classroom, walking past a few teachers who seemed to look at him with disdain as Akira simply rolled his eyes at such looks.
Soon they came upon the classroom and after Akira heard Kawakami give one more sigh, she pushed open the door as the two of them walked in, the class quieting down as they saw Akira walk in behind Kawakami.
"Alright settle down." Kawakami yelled to an already settled down room as she stopped behind her desk and moved her hand to the side "This is our new transfer student Akira Kusuru, who is new to the Tokyo area so he got a little lost beforehand. Kusuru-kun, would you say a few words?"
Akira gave a sideways glance towards Kawkami before looking back over the crowd, scanning them over before something caught his eye.
On the right side of the classroom(Or left side to the students) Akira saw Ann Takamaki, one of his future subjects, sitting by the window looking outside with a nonchalant look. So, she was in his class huh?
Not wanting to have anyone notice he was lingering on her, Akira looked back out towards the entire class as he bowed "A pleasure to meet you."
The students all eyed him suspiciously as they whispered unsettling rumors about him back and forth between one another, Kawakamki giving a sigh as she clapped her hands together.
"Ok Ok, settle down guys...Now Kusuru-kun, why don't you sit over...There, the seat behind Takamaki-chan." Akira looked over at the seat behind Ann as he hid the urge to smirk as he nodded.
Walking past several students who kept whispering about him, Akira finally came up towards Ann's desk as she kept looking out the window before he heard her whisper "Kawakami's a bitch of a teacher huh?"
Akira moved his eyes down towards Ann who kept looking through the window as he smiled "Yes, I would have to agree."
Akira whispered back in kind as the students whispering intensified, wondering what Akira and Ann had said to one another and if they knew each other in any way.
Shujin Academy-Class 2B-Day 2(11:59AM)
As Akira sat listening to the current teacher, he looked over his textbooks without much of a care in the world as he internally continued to plan everything that he wanted to get done as soon as he could. Hopefully he could get both Ann's and Shiho's keys today and slowly start breaking them to his will.
His thinking was interrupted however as the clock turned over and the lunch bell rang as many students quickly pushed themselves up, having began preparing for lunch earlier as the clock got closer, as Akira saw Ann quickly trying to stuff everything into her bag.
Seeing an opportunity, Akira didn't even bother to grab his stuff as he pushed himself up and walked over beside of Ann "Guess I should have taken that ride so I didn't get lost huh?"
Ann looked up towards him as she heard his 'joke', causing her to give a small smile though with a hint of regret "Y-Yeah I guess so. Though you were already pretty close to the school, are you sure you got lost?"
"Of course, though I wasn't the only one. I ran into someone named Sakamoto-kun and followed him to school, though I think we took a few wrong turns on the way here."
"You had Ryuji guide you here? No wonder you were late, I wouldn't be surprised if he got to talking to you and completely took a wrong turn." Ann gave a small laugh as Akira returned one towards her as she shook her head "Anyway, sorry I have to get going. I have someone I have to meet up with."
Ann tried to push past him, but Akira held his ground as he spoke "Shiho Suzui?"
Ann stopped and looked at him, her friendly but hurried look changing to one of surprise and then distrust "You...Know her?"
"We've met before actually, she was a rather nice girl. She's on the volleyball team right?" Akira was lying of course, but he just needed to get close enough to Ann to get her key and nothing more.
"Y-Yeah thats right." Ann seemed to relax for a moment before her distrusting look returned. "H-How did you two meet though? Today's your first day at Shujin after all."
"I ran into her this morning actually. I left my residence around six o'clock this morning to grab supplies and ran into her on her way to her volleyball meet." Akira didn't actually run into her or anything of the sort, but he did enough research to know Kamoshida often had his students come to school early for 'practice'...Thats what the rumors said anyway.
Ann kept looking at him distrustingly but her look softened as she nodded "Well, Shiho does occasionally come to school early for volleyball practice so it's not completely out of the question. But anyway yes, I meet up with Shiho everyday for lunch, so if you'd excuse me."
Ann once again tried to push past Akira, who continued to hold his ground as he smiled "Mind if I eat lunch with you two?"
Ann stopped and looked at him in the fact, and after studying her 'genuine' look and smile for what seemed like eternity, she slowly nodded "Well, it's up to Shiho I guess but...I don't mind I guess."
Akira nodded, as he went to grab his stuff when suddenly.
Trickster...The Key has materialized…
As soon as Igor's words ran through his head, the world suddenly stopped much like it did with Sojiro as Akira looked around, raising an eyebrow in surprise. "That was too easy."
Much like with Ryuji Sakamoto, Ann Takamaki's heart is weak due to many factors. However, unlike Ryuji Sakamoto, you will not be able to completely bend her to your will.
"I didn't expect every cognition to be easily changed at first."
Akira cracked his neck as a blueish door appeared in the back of the room as Akira walked towards it.
Ann's Cognition-Day 2
After walking into the Velvet Room and grabbing the key from Igor, Akira walked towards the door and used Ann's key on it as it opened, the sound of cameras flashing could be heard coming from it.
As Akira walked fully into the cognition he soon walked into a large like building.
Inside of the building were countless men and women with cameras, all taking pictures of the center stage. Beside the stage were women in various outfits, fancy clothes, swimsuits, bunny outfits, ect…
All of them however were looking on with envy at the middle of the stage was none other than Ann Takamaki, posing in various poses for the camera as countless praises rained upon her. However unlike the other models who were looking on in envy, Ann was still covered from neck down in her school outfit, raising Akira's suspicions even more.
Walking past the cameramen and women, Akira pulled himself up onto the stage as he walked over to Ann, raising his hand up "Brain Jack!"
Like with Ryuji, the cognition suddenly stopped as Ann stopped posing, a fish-eye look appearing on her face as Akira crossed his arms. "Now then, unlike with Ryuji, turning you completely over won't be easy. So I'm going to ask you questions, and you will answer them. My first question is this, am I correct in assuming you hide your body because you don't like to shave...Like...At all?"
Ann didn't say anything for a moment before she slowly nodded her head, as a faint sound came from her lips "Yes…"
"I see. Not surprising my theory was correct, though I am surprised you so willingly told me. I wonder if I told you to not hide it?" Akira didn't actually issue the command, but as soon as he merely spoke the words he felt some push back "I figured. On to the next question, do you know about the abuse that your best friend suffers?"
"...Yes…"
"Do you want to save her? Help her? Rid her of all the abuse she has ever known?"
"...Yes…"
"I figured as well...I wonder, do you value Shiho as much as your modeling and life? If you had to pick between saving her, and making sure no one found out your secret, which would you pick?"
Ann went to answer but closed her lips, not saying anything as Akira gave a dark chuckle.
"In that case...Ann Takamaki...From today forward, you are ignorant to the abuse that Shiho Suzui suffers! If she has any bruises, broken bones, black eyes, anything! You will be ignorant towards it and act as if everything is normal!"
Ann again was quiet, before her lips formed the words "Ignorant….Abuse….Shiho….Bruises….Bones….Eyes….Anything….Ignorant...Normal…"
Akira gave another dark chuckle as he kept brain jack up "I figured you were that kind of bitch. Onto my next question, what do you view Shiho as?"
"My...Best Friend...I would do...Almost anything for her."
"Interesting answer, but not unexpected despite the previous question and command. From today onward, you will view Shiho Suzui in a romantic sense! Despite the fact the Japanese people look down upon such relationships, you do not care! You want Shiho to be your girlfriend, your wife even! But you have to hide it, and you will never confess to her! You will only fully show it, if she was to ask you out!"
"Shiho….Romantic….Taboo….Do Not Care….Girlfriend….Wife...Hide it….Never Confess...Show….If She asks me…"
"I figured that would be easy, onto my next question! What do you think of me, Akira Kusuru?"
"Transfer student...Seems Nice...Potential Friend…"
"Thats it huh? Before my command, my next question. Are you a virgin?"
"...Yes…"
"As expected...Ann Takamaki! From today onward, you will never lose your virginity to anyone but me, Akira Kusuru! Likewise, you will never lose your lesbian virginity to anyone but Shiho Suzui! Not only that, but from today on, if I ask any of the following things, you are to comply…"
After sensing no resistance, Akira began listing things off.
"To see your nude breasts, to give me a handjob, to give me a blowjob, to let me motorboat your breasts, to suck on your beasts, to play with them, to use them as a pillow, really to let me do anything to your breasts."
"Nude...Breasts….Handjob...Blowjob...Motorboat….Suck...Play...Pillow...Anything….Anytime...Anywhere….Akira Kusuru…"
"Correct. You will also allow me to see your Pussy, thighs, armpits and ass anywhere, anytime." When he spoke the words, Akira received some pain at the pushback, but stood steady as he continued speaking "Oh come now! It's not taboo after all! Your legs and feet are much more taboo as they can be seen easily in public, yes?"
Akira still received some pushback, but after staying steady and speaking some more, he appeared to break through as Ann nodded. "Pussy...Thighs...Armpits...Ass...Anywhere...Anytime...By your command…"
Akira nodded, wiping his forehead off from the force of the resistance making him somewhat tired as he stretched "You will also let me play with these areas and eat you out, anywhere, anytime."
Ann nodded, repeating the words as Akira gave a final confirmation chuckle. "Very good...My last thing, Ann Takamaki...Akira Kusuru...myself...I'm one of your best friends...You will tell me anything I want to know...And trust me above all others."
"Akira Kusuru...Best friends….Anything….Trust…"
"Very good...Now…" Releasing Brain Jack, Ann seemed to think for a moment before looking around as she began posing for the photographs again as Akira raised an eyebrow "Hm, so the cognition didn't change this time. Not that it matters, I still have a bit before going all the way."
Giving a smirk, Akira jumped off the stage and began heading towards the exit as he cracked his neck.
"Well, time to test this cognition in reality."
