"Mmm! Nothing like a special breakfast!" Akira said munching on his own food from the school, Morgana sighed.
"Ugh, Your still a lucky man you know that?" Morgana muttered as Akira gave him some tuna.
"Come on, You know you want it..." Akira said as Morgana took a bite and enjoyed the Tuna.
"Kurusu! And Mona-chan!" Haru said seeing the two as Morgana hopped on and Haru petted Morgana. Futaba arrived also.
"Hey, Have you seen Mitsuru by any means? Makoto has been worried for her." Futaba said.
"Nah, She's gone." Akira jokily said as the two girls didn't like it.
"WHAT!? Akira!" Haru said in surprise.
"Im sorry! It's a joke Haru! Im sorry! I didn't wanna offend you!" Akira said to Haru who calmed a little.
"Please don't tease or play like that!" Haru said to Akira as he gulped and took it personally.
"Hey, There you are." Mitsuru said taking a look at the four, Morgana hid as Mitsuru nod her head as a come along motion.
"Oh! Mitsuru-San!" Haru said as Mitsuru smiled in a serious way.
"Come with me please. Akira, Haru, Futaba." Mitsuru said as everyone then followed her to the student room.
"Coming Mitsuru, Makoto was worried for you." Akira said talking to one of the student council presidents.
"Was she now? I was waiting for you. Come on, We got something to discuss for everyone." Mitsuru chuckled as she led everyone.
"Right, We know the drill." Futaba said as they all walked through the hallways and entered the student meeting room, Everyone else was in seats talking. Makoto came to Mitsuru.
"There you are Mitsuru! I was worried about you!" Makoto sighed in relief.
"It's alright, I got the last three of them here." Mitsuru smiled as they waved.
"Akira, Please go ahead and have a seat." Makoto said as they all took a seat.
"Ah everyone, We all made it." Haru said in happiness
"Thank you Haru, So then... Let's get down to business everyone." Mitsuru said getting the conversation going.
"Right, We should be very careful and aware now." Fuuka said carefully.
"Yes but now we realized something was wrong, Connor died in front of the reporters and it was live, What was the reason? It was a Mental Shutdown!" Yu said as everyone began chattering like a courtroom, Akira broke the tension.
"So Shadow Connor was murdered last night due to a mental shutdown, But who done it? Who could've killed his own shadow to kill him?" Yukiko said as she remembers.
"We all left at that time, So it wasn't any of us." Junpei pointed out as everyone glanced at each other and nodded in silence.
"I did notice something strange on the night we came." Yukari said as she felt a little chill.
"What was it about Yukari? Did you find someone or something?" Minato said looking at his friend.
"Im sorry for being quiet about it but, The moon wasn't normal though, It was a blood moon that night, So the enemies had to be aggressive!" Yukari stated out, They all chattered again.
"Thats how we were badly hurt, A blood moon was up on that night." Ken said as everyone felt bad.
"Didn't the first two say something about a Hunters Mask?" Hamuko said.
"Not shadow Connor though." Akihiko said as he didn't hear Shadow Connor speak.
"We did hear from the first shadow though." Aigis said quietly.
"Any names that could be thrown out who could've actually done it?" Ann said as nobody said names, Ryuji then spoke a name.
"Not Akechi... Thats for damn sure." Ryuji said boldly.
"Who is he?" Naoto said curiously.
"A detective prince, Following Naoto's footsteps." Akira said mentioning it out.
"Someone following after me then huh? Hahah!" Naoto said making a small giggle.
"Nice, But why not him Kurusu?" Yusuke said to their leader.
"He wouldn't be here to this day. So that would bust him." Aigis said in a sad tone.
"He has a point, So then..." Haru said running out of ideas.
"Welp we got nothing on our minds whatsoever." Kanji said as he didn't think as he ran low on ideas.
"But we can't give up like this!" Yukari said.
"Hey everyone... I have a suggestion." Akira said as everyone gazed at him.
"What could that be Akira?" Yusuke said to their leader.
"You might think im crazy but... I think I know who did it." Akira said as he collected his thoughts together.
"Who? What're you talking about?" Fuuka said as Akira finally got it all together.
"Juan and Chukya." Akira said in a serious and better tone, Everyone jumped and started arguing.
"WHAT!? Them? But their kind people! How and why would they harm the shadow Connor? Aren't they nice and protective?" Rise said angrily at Akira.
"They've had a purpose when me and Minato battled, They wanted to know their purposes and why they can't leave the shadow world. That was before we met the I.T though." Akira said as Minato nodded in agreement when they flashed back to their first meet.
"True that. We did help them from the weird blocky cube they were trapped in." Minato said shaking his hand a little.
"And if they even entered this world, It would ruin all our purposes and thoughts. Their both innocent." Youske said.
"But, Why would they want that?" Ken said looking up at Akihiko.
"They want to know what our world looks like, Who knows how long they were trapped inside? 10 Years? 15 Years? 20 Years?" Yu said as everyone thought so.
"Huh, That is true... But thats a long time." Kanji said.
"Im surprised a bunch of idiots trapped in a world would be murderers. What kinda of lame ass jokes is that?"
"Maybe it's because they don't know what to do with Shadows." Youske said as Chie took it personally.
"Youske! That doesn't make damn sense! They are trapped for a reason!" Chie scolded her teammate.
"Yeah! And all we are doing is busting them out of there with our help!" Rise said as she sided with Chie, Akira shook his head.
"But still, I think those two have a purpose for me." Akira said.
"And how would you want to help them with that purpose?" Hamuko said as Akira wanted to make a promise.
"I want to free them, Make them know how freedom feels." Akira promised as everyone looked at each other.
"Oh okay! I guess we get it now!" Yukiko said.
"Well we got no clues on them." Rise said.
"So thats it? We got no clues or evidence that Juan and Chukya killed Shadow Connor?"
"That is right Kirijo-san, *Sigh* We can't give in like this!" Chie said being worried.
"But don't worry, If we expose them. Then it works. Deal?" Yukiko said
"DEAL!" Everyone said as they made another promise.
"Yes! We are close!" Fuuka said as she was happy.
"So if we expose them by getting closer to the palaces and reaching the truth. Then we can probably reveal everything behind them." Makoto said as everyone agreed.
"Genius Makoto! Your amazing as always!" Futaba said happily.
"Indeed, She is way better at these things." Kanji admitted as Makoto made a smile in amazement.
"Alright, Discussion over. Thanks for being here everyone." Mitsuru said as everyone left the room one by one.
"Thank you Senpai." Yukari said as everyone left the meeting room, Akira noticed Narukami was making hand signs to beg for him to come over. He did just that.
"Hey Kurusu, Come over here for a second real quick." Yu said as Akira came over while their friends went to class.
"What's up Narukami?" Akira said as Yu made a few words.
"You, Me. Shadow world. Tommorow." Yu said in five words, Akira became lost suddenly.
"Why? What do you need?" Akira said knowing he won't let his friend give in.
"Just us, Nobody else. Just us to battle, Please?" Yu begged Akira who still asked questions.
"Why?" Akira said. Yu didn't spoil it.
"I won't tell, I am sorry. But I wanna improve myself in battle." Yu said secretly, Akira stood back.
"By letting me help you? Nah man." Akira refused the offer.
"Alright Chicken." Yu said as he walked away, Akira ran in front of him.
"Chicken? Okay it's a battle then. Wait for me at that Shadow World." Akira said pointing at his white shirt.
"Thats what I wanna hear Kurusu." Yu said as he went his way.
"It's a battle huh? Time to train then... heheh..." Akira chuckled to himself as the day went by and he trained with Akihiko for tomorrow.
