After leaving Akechi to do his own thing Ren started to wander around Hebijo, looking for his targets. Although it's became a pain to fight against every girl that's comes his way.

"Where is Gessen? They should have been here by now." Ren said to himself, but just as he's said that there was an explosion coming from inside the building.

"That has to be them." Ren said, running towards it.

"So, you're the ones our leader asked us to handle?" Yusuke responded, looking at five girls who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They must've entered the Kekkei expecting a huge swarm of enemies, because they liked surprised by the appearance of the Phantom Thieves. Eh

He then proceeded to draw his sword and point it towards them. "Gessen Academy?"

"What?" The girl wearing the red scarf asked in confusion. "No! We're Hanzo Academy!" She told him. "We're here to fight Gessen,

"Hanzō? Isn't that the name of the old perv?" Futaba asked Makoto.

"Yes, it is." She responded to her. "It looks like there related after all." She added before turning to walk away with the others.

"Yo! Where you going!"

"We're only required to fight against Gessen." Yusuke told her. "There is ni need fir us to fight you."

"Hey! They're our opponents!" the

"How about you just calm down

Katsuragi ended up helping Makoto instead, although when she did she looked at her before apologizing.

"Sorry, I was aiming for the one in the hat. Yours are a bit too small for my liking."

However that ended up setting Makoto off easily. Molesting her and calling attention to her small cup size?

are

Makoto then reacted in the most expected way possible. By punching Katsuragi and sending her flying.

"Katsuragi!" The raven-haired girl called out.

"Katsu-nee!" The girl with the scarf called out after seeing her friend getting knocked down with a punch.

"Queen, calm down!" Yusuke tried telling her, before the sight of her angry glare was transfixed onto him, causing him to look away while whistling, acting like he's didn't say anything.

"I'm perfectly, calm." Makoto told him, though they could all see that she was lying though her teeth.

"These guys don't look like they'll play around." Katsuragi said, before running the spot where she was punched and getting back into her feet. "Can't believe she socked me after copping a feel."

"I honestly can't believe that we've never seen anyone do that to you before." The raven haired girl muttered, mostly to herself.

"They aren't standing in our ways, but leaving them alone could prove troublesome towards us later." Ikaruga told Asuka.

"So we should take them all here ?" Asuka asked her senpai, who only shook her head in response towards her suggestion.

"We do that, and there's the chance that we'll all be too injured to fight against Gessen." Ikaruga told her.

"So you'll have to remain on the sidelines." Yagyuu told Asuka coolly. Asuka looked shocked at this idea.

"We'll be able to handle these four, so save your own in an instant," Katsuragi told her, "so just sit back and watch the show." des sr

They all then went after their opponents, with Katsuragi going after Makoto. She then started to kick at her opponent, which Makoto matched with a punch that she easily managed to overcome her opponents weaknesses.

Makoto then matched the blonde girls kick with her fist, though she slightly overpowered her, before releasing a flurry if punches on her.

"She's not weak to anything you've got, so just go wild on her!" Futaba advised her.

"Johanna!" Makoto called out while leaping in the air, her persona forming beneath her, she then revved up her motorcycle persona and fired at her opponent.

"Frei!" She called out blasting Katsuragi with a nuclear attack.

Katsuragi was definitely bruised from the attack from earlier, though she was still in fighting shape, which enabled her to dodge the hit.

Makoto then released a single strong punch hitting the girl's stomach, and sending her flying.

"Looks like you're stronger than I thought." She admitted to Makoto. "I've been underestimating people way too much lately."

"Burst!" Makoto called out, gathering nuclear energy into her fists.

Katsuragi then leapt up and performed a dive kick. Makoto dodged it before releasing a flurry of punches upon Katsuragi, sending her backwards and then landing an uppercut on her.

Katsuragi then landed on her palms before using them to spin herself around and creating a tornado that was drawing Makoto in for her next attack. Makoto countered by summoning Johanna and using the tornado in order to increase her speed before she rammed into her opponent. Katsuragi tried to block it with a kick towards the front,

Makoto then blasted her with w

"Frei!!" Knocking her back while taking off some more of her clothes, leaving her chest completely exposed.

"Okay, you're tough. Looks like I'll have to get serious." Katsuragi told her.

"Shinobi….Tenshin!"

wrelease kicks

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"I am Fox." Yusuke told her before looking intently at the girl. This caused the girl to become a little bit nervous from the attention that she was getting from a male around her age.

"I'm Ikaruga!" she said, introducing herself.

"You are simply amazing." Yusuke told Ikaruga. "Please, be the model for my next painting!"

"W-what?" Ikaruga asked him, completely confused about what his request was, was he right in the head?

"Get your head in the game Inari!" Futaba's voice said to him. "We're not here to paint!"

"Ah, yes! I'm to fight against you." Yusuke said to her. Though

Yusuke then grabbed his sword and slashed at her with high speeds, though Ikaruga managed to dodge it with some room to spare...

OR so she thought, soon seeing that some strands of her hair were cut off.

She then grabbed her sword before delivering multiple slashes before her opponent. Yusuke however was able to match her slashes with her own, though even if they were equal in speed, his were surprisingly more powerful than she thought could come out of that lanky frame. Soon she began being overwhelmed by his attacks, she was then knocked backwards by his sword.

"Forgive me, but it looks like I'm a bit stronger than you are." Yusuke told her.

She then slashed which u tried

"Goemon!" Yusuke then called out his persona, summoning it to his side. Ikaruga was shocked by the appearance of such a strange summons.'It's not an animal, so what is it?'

""Bufu!" The summons then blasted Ikaruga with an ice attack, freezing her in place, but then Yusuke slashed at her while she was in such a state, breaking her out of it but leaving her clothes in tatters. Ikaruga soon got up, but Yusuke then started to thrust his sword forward grazing Ikaruga, and tearing through the remains of her clothes, she then parried the last thrust with Hien and knocked him back.

Clearly she underestimated his capabilities.

She then stood tall in front of him, her clothes remaining to be in tatters.

"You have no problem revealing your form to a total stranger?" Yusuke asked her after seeing such a display. "Please! Be my model! Together we can paint a nude masterpiece!"

However a strike was sent flying past his face, grazing his cheek.

"I will never do something that disgraceful!" She told him strongly. "If you want someone to do that then asked Katsuragi!" She then proudly took out a scroll from who knows where.

"Shinobi Tenshin!" She called out was

Right now Futaba was having a hard time. She never had to fight before, Ren always told her that she was completely fine the way that she was, though that didn't help at all in this situation.

"Uh, I'm not much of a fighter," Futaba told the pink-haired girl standing in front of her," maybe we can settle this with a good old fashioned game of rock paper scissors?" Futaba suggested to her.

"But Hibari trained hard to become stronger!" The girl protested to her. She then started to pout. Was she a child in a teenagers body?

"I trained hard in rock paper scissors too, you know!" Futaba retorted towards her. "It's a hard game for the socially awkward like me! Having to talk to people, having to be confident in my choices...you're just saying no because you'll lose!"

"Nuh-uh!" Hibari argued against her.

"Yuh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Yuh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Yuh-huh!"

This continued until they felt the urge to prove each other wrong built up again.

won't do it

They then started to get into positions to prepare for the face off of their immature lives. Of rock paper scissors.

"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" They changed before both threw out rock, signaling a draw.

"Shoot!" They then threw out scissors.

"Again!" they then threw out paper.

"Again!"

"Again!"

Meanwhile at a much more serious and mature fight Haru was facing odd against her opponent. It was a girl wearing an eye patch with white hair.

"I have to finish you off quick so I can get to Hibari." She told Haru bluntly.

"Are you talking about the girl with pink hair? I think I saw her with Oracle." Haru told her thoughtfully. "But since Oracle isn't a fighter, she'll most likely be fine."

"I don't care." She told Haru before rushing at her, thrusting her umbrella in an attack, Haru blocked with her axe and soon span around so that she'll have strength behind her strike, attempting to crush Yagyuu with her axe, though the girl managed to dodge it. But then Haru has swung her axe again, this time it gaining a pink aura around it that extended it's range, and when the girl attempted to dodge it this time, she instead got hit by its extended reach.

Yagyuu fell back pretty easily, though she started to feel like the whole world was spinning around her.

Haru then summoned her persona

"Milady!" She called out, with Milady revealing it's guns and blasting Yagyuu with Psy infused bullets, managing to confuse her.

"Uh, where am i? Who am i? Why does my body hurt so much?" Yagyuu asked herself, not knowing anything about herself. Who was the girl that was standing in front of her right now? Why was she holding an axe?

"You're my friend who loves getting hit by my axe." Haru told her 'helpfully' with such a serene and graceful smile on her face that Yagyuu had no choice but the believe her.

Haru then proceeded to do just that, slamming her axe into her body, sending her flying whole wounding her.

"No choice left.'" Yagyuu said to herself, wanting to hurry up and get to Hibari. z Shinobi...Tenshin."

But before they could

"Aaaahh!" Futaba yelled, falling back. After drawing in what seemed like nearly nearly a hundred games of rock paper, scissors, she finally lost.

'Hah! Hibari won!" Hibari said to herself, cheering. But before she could celebrate further Morgana fired a shot from his slingshot at her.

"What? Mona!?" Futaba said, shocked by his appearance. "Why are you here? What about your job?"

"Since nothing's changed in the past hour, I'm working under the assumption that either they're not showing, or that they're running late."

"Where is it!? Where is it!?" A cute brunette girl said in a high pitched voice while tearing through a hotel room. What was she looking for? Obviously something like personal opinion.

"That mask was given to me by Kurokage-sama!" She screeched in a high voice. "I have to find it!"

"I'm sure jii-sama will be okay with you losing it." Yumi said, trying to reason with her, it was only

"What would you do if you lost your Kimono!?" She asked her in a very panicked manner.

"...Go on ahead." Yumi said with a sigh, knowing that she's the last person capable of coming up with a comeback to that. The kimono given to her by her grandfather was definitely her most valued treasure. They still had a few more hours left. They should be able to get there before the day is out if she finds it soon.

"So here I am!" Morgana explained to Futaba.

"Ah, he's so cute!" Hibari said before picking up Morgana and rubbing their cheeks together.

"H-hey!" Morgana said to her, protesting the treatment.

"Good job Morgana!" Futaba cheered. "Keep her distracted!"

"Hey! This isn't why I'm here!" Morgana said to Futaba while being cuddled with by Hibari. Futaba meanwhile was

While Ren was going to where the explosion was, pasting through Kekkei and Kekkei,

When Ren got to where the explosion was coming from, he saw that the ones fighting weren't Gessen and Hebijo, but Hanzo and the Phantom thieves..Ren was about to call them all our of the stupidity ,but something else happened.

Right now, in front of Ren was Homura and the gang. It was quite the sight.

"Amamiya!?" Homura shouted, surprised at his appearance there.

"Do I know you?" Ren said, feigning ignorance once again.

"Look at the things she's cuddling!" Ren said, pointing out Morgana to them, they all then looked over to see Hibari was still cuddling Morgana.

"What!? He's so cute! Mirai said rushing over to Morgana and steeling him away from Hibari.

"I've never met anything this cute before!" She said while rubbing her cheeks against his.

"Joker asked me to scout outside the Kekkei barriers with Re

Lineskip

Right now Akechi was walking through Hebijo academy untouched. He's figured that Shinobi would be better than this, but turns out his guess was wrong.

Just then someone appears in front of him. It was the fox faced girl that constantly followed Miyabi around. Though girl wasn't the right term for her, was it? More like a woman who's not ashamed of wearing her high school uniform. "

"You...you..." She started, looking at Akechi with eyes full of hate. "You bastard!"

"Heh. I've been called that so many times it's lost all power on me." Akechi remarked towards her, it looked like she informed him while looking like she's ready to dismember him.

"You dare hurt Miyabi and leave her in critical condition!?" She roared at him. She was obviously seething at what happened to Miyabi, bloodlust was rolling off her in waves, but compared to his own, she's like a cool summer breeze.

"I don't remember finishing the job. Joker wouldn't let me after all." Akechi told her nonchalantly, already not caring about the conversation.

"I'll make sure that you'll pay for your transgression against Hebijo and Miyabi!" She said to him, immediately bringing out her scroll for a Tenshin.

"Now let me try this out." Akechi said to himself. "Kaito Tenshin."

"Just as I thought." Akechi said before dodging Imu's attack. Akechi then fired off shots of his gun at her.

"I'm most likely exerting my own cognitive world over reality.' Was this similar to Maruki's actualization?

" over * told himself.

"MEGIDOLOAN!" Akechi then summoned Loki before blasting her with an attack haha instantly downed her in her normal conditions.

"I don't have the time for this, so i'm leaving you alive for now." Akechi said, going to the location where he picked up the strange presence.

Akechi said before making his way towards the building that was radiating that presence.

"Eh!? Miyabi's already been taken out!?" Homura said to Haruka.

"Yes, I've managed to gather that much." Haruka told her. "Though it seems like most of Hebijo has already been taken out.

"You've gotta be kidding me! I wanted to be the one that knocked that smug look off if her face!" Homura said. "And i can just imagine what Asuka is going ti say! 'Eh? You didn't take Miyabi down? Were you to slow?' Graaahhh!"

"It seems to have been the work of a prisoner that they recently captured." Haruka told her while watching her leader have a freak outm.

"They must have gotten sloppy if they lost to one single prisoner." Hikage pointed out.

"But if we look at it in a others way, this prisoner must be pretty powerful." Mirai pointed out.

"So there's no reason for us to be here?" Hikage pointed out.

"No!"' Homura shouted. "We can't leave after doing nothing. And besides, I've heard interesting rumors lately." She told the Crimson squad.

"Rumors?" Yomi asked her leader. "Like what?"

"That someone's been buying tons of materials for something called Cognitive Psience and that they'vebeen using money that couldn't be traced. There was also a rumor that he's apparently wearing a garish red suit while doing his business." ..x
