It was another day in the base as everyone was doing whatever they want, brad was in the cafeteria eating alone for a little while. Brad appearance was young at least 18, good looking, pretty handsome with black hair, brown eyes and he had a clean shave from his upper lips and chin that is starting to grow back a few inches.
Brad was eating until the alert told him to see his assignment which it turns out that he's going alone. Brad said his goodbyes and put in the coordinance and enter the portal.
Brad was outside the gates of the school as he blink and look around, he saw students wearing a black uniform for males and a white navy outfit for the girls. Brad look down and notice he's wearing the same uniform as the boys as he was confused.
"What the?"
He follow the crowd as he see plently of interesting people with different shade of color hairs, he figure that he's assignment isn't going to be easy.
He continue inside the school and see many students putting there shoes in their lockers as he look down and see his shoes change as well. He doesn't know what's going on but it was odd.
He moved on seeing many students walking to different side of the hall or going through the large double doors through the middle. He look outside and see that it was a nice out with trees and a water fountain in the middle.
Brad walk backwards and his attention was on the posters of many clubs in this school, going from cooking to science.
Brad avert his gaze and see a student with long green hair walking pass him, she seem to be looking at her phone and was barely paying attention to her surroundings.
Brad was lost, this school was new to him but right now he doesn't have anything to go on. He figure this will be difficult as he was leaving and head down the hall as a person walk around the corner and she was different than the others.
She wear a white with red highlights on her uniform with a red armband on her arm with Kanji letters saying: "Student council."
She was beautiful looking with long black hair, she wears a green half frame glasses with long slivers pearls on her glasses. She notice him but didn't pay too much mind on him and walk pass him with her arms behind her back.
Brad continue while looking at her feeling unsure about her but look forward and head down the hall, he moved along walking pass some rooms like the school faculty and such.
He was reaching a stairway as he realize he doesn't know where to start. He stood there and then a door open, he turned back and see that it was a older woman with red glasses and wear formal wear like a black blazer and skirt. She also have large breasts as well but he avert his gaze from them as she know his presence and apologized.
"Oh, excuse me."
She walk around him as brad notice the sign on top of the door that said guidance counselor as he figure that this may help him.
"Excuse me, miss."
Brad realized he doesn't know her name so he has to say that, not knowing people's name will be awkward.
"Hm? What is it, i'm pretty busy right now."
Brad notice that what he's going to say will be strange.
"Uhh...I know this might sound, weird but has their been an incident that happened here, recently?"
She had a perplexed look as she crossed her arms.
"Y-yes, but I cannot talk right now. I'm afraid you have to wait until I'm finished after class."
She walks away as brad was left with no answers. He swing his arms up to his side just not okay with this clueless situation he's in.
He head upstairs and was on the second floor, he look around and walk down the hallway and notice a group of people on their phones while moving. The first person in front was strange, he wear spiral glasses with a red bandana and had facial hair. Surprisingly since Brad does have facial hair but he shave every now and then.
The next person right next to him was a boy with black hair with red color on top, wearing a red bandana. The next person on the other side was a girl with pink and dark hair, the girl behind her had light pink hair that goes down to her back and the last one has green hair.
They walk pass Brad as the girl with pink hair notice him.
"Oh, hey senpai, we're playing our miyuki reality game on our phones. Do you want to join us?"
As she said this her friends continue on as brad was off put for her to call him that but figure he can't.
"Uhm, sorry but I'm kinda busy right now."
She was a little surprised to hear this.
"What? But you always join us."
Brad was confused by this, how can he live a life in this world if he never been here before. It reminds him of what he brother told him before.
"Uhm, yeah sorry but not now. Say, can I ask you something."
She wasn't expected him to ask her something.
"Huh? What is it senpai?"
She almost look a bit shy at that moment as brad didn't notice it.
"Uh, have you heard any incidents that have happened lately?"
"Hm? Incidents? W-well besides the murder that happened to osana then not really."
Brad was surprise to hear that.
"A murder? What happened?"
She was off put by this.
"What? W-well, osana was killed by someone a week ago and the authorities couldn't find the suspect."
"Really? That's... bad."
"It is, it really made things a little uneasy since what happened."
"Right."
Brad was quiet as she seem concerned.
"Why did you ask Brad? You were here when it happened."
He look at her with that realization which made her wonder about his state.
"W-well, my memory is getting bad lately but I'm gaining them back. B-by the way what's your name?"
"What? You forgot my name? Is mai, but you can call me mai waifu."
Brad was really perplexed as she seem like she enjoyed saying that.
"What? That's... Something."
She realized her phone.
"Oh my goodness, I gotta go!"
She hurried off as brad didn't get the chanch to say goodbye as she took off. He stood there and heard footsteps coming from behind as he look back and saw a girl wearing that white uniform. She has red hair with a feather on her hair, she seem to always have her eyes close which brad find it weird as she walk pass him.
"Hm?"
She stop suddenly and looked at him, in some way.
"Oh, sorry dear I was day dreaming for a second."
"I-is alright. Uhm, you're part of the student council right?"
"Yes I am, is there anything you wanted to say?"
Brad didn't know about this.
"W-well, do you know anything about the incident that happened last week?"
"Hmm? The incident? Oh, you mean osana murder? Well, i'm afraid I can't discuss about that, even if I do I'm clueless as you dear."
"Right..."
Brad felt like he's going nowhere as she said.
"Excuse me but I must finish patrolling the hallways clubs, make sure to make it to class on time brad."
Brad didn't realize he's been absent before, he wonder how many.
"Okay, uhm do you know when class start?"
"8:30 dear."
"Okay, do you know which class I'm in?"
She was starting to feel suspicious about him but said.
"Is class 3-2."
"Right, thanks."
She nod her head and moved on as brad was left with no answers, he checked his bag and dig out his phone and see that it was almost 8 as he put it away and head upstairs.
Brad figured he won't get any information or where to go from here, he's lost and have no leads to go on.
He head down the hall and was now heading upstairs, he figure that he'll come up with something, so he hoped.
He ended up in class as he waited for a while just standing there staring out the window until students start walking into the classroom as he turned and see a few students he doesn't know nor recognize. He find that troublesome if he need to speak to them as one of them walk up to him, he was an ordinary looking guy with brown hair and pearly green eyes.
"Hey brad, how's it going?"
Brad stares blankly at him as he come up with something to say.
"Oh hey, i'm fine."
"That's good to know man, you look like you're completing something."
"Oh, no I'm not."
"Right, well I gotta go, got some thinking too myself."
He walk to his desk which is in the back, which is strange since that's the last desk. He notice more are coming in as he see many students taking their seats, the last person to take their seats was that girl with the different uniform as she sit near the end on the third row.
Brad see the last seat and sit down right next to her, he glance at her as she was looking at her phone. Brad notice the boy right next to him was that strange guy with the spiral glasses, he was playing on a handheld console as brad look forward to see a blonde boy in front of him.
They waited for a bit until the door open which revealed the teacher as class soon begin. They learned for hours as brad was already feeling burned out but then the bell ring to his relief.
Everyone got up and most left, the girl next to him left while the boy to his left was leaving while playing his game. Brad got up and leave as well and figured he needed information on who it could be, he decided to try his hand at that council girl as he approach her.
This caught her attention as she look back with a suspected look, brad stops a meter away as he try to form words in his mouth.
"U-uhm, excuse me but I have some questions."
She became perplexed but curious.
"Hm? What is it?"
"Uhh, I heard about the incident that happened last week. And I was wondering if you have any information on what happen..."
She was still perplexed by this but wonder why he's asking.
"Brad, why you asking? You were there when it happened."
"I know, what I meant is, did you get any different details than the others? Like, how osana died?"
She seem slightly confused by this but also wonder what he's playing at.
"Brad, you should know what happen, where were you when it happened?"
Brad felt like he's being put on the spot.
"Uhm, I was nowhere near where osana was."
She didn't seem too convinced but figure to humble him a little.
"Brad, if you want to know, osana was stab that day, and nobody saw who done it. None of the other council know anything either, why are you concerned about this?"
Brad need to know at least some suspects.
"Because, I don't tolerate stuff like that happening here. I just want to know if there was anything that might lead to who could of done it."
She was pretty surprised to hear that, but didn't show it too much. She never knew he's like that.
"Really? Well I'm afraid that there wasn't any suspect, but only theory of who it could be."
"Really? Who?"
"That's for us to know."
She was about to turn but brad went a little closer.
"Wait, I have to know!"
This made her a little surprise but quickly changed to defensive.
"You're a little too close."
He took a step back.
"Sorry, but I need to know."
"Why would you want to know? You're not planning on finding this person are you?"
Brad figured that the next words he'll say will be weird, but she probably won't believe him of his true purpose here.
"Well, n-not exactly you see, I just been planning on just investigating on that matter, really."
She didn't seem to sure, but was perplexed nonetheless.
"Really? Listen I need to continue my patrol, we can talk about this later. Before the end of lunch."
"Alright, thank you, uhm don't take this personally but, what's your name?"
She was confused by that.
"You forgot my name? Is kamenage kuroko."
"Oh, t-thank you, my memory is been pretty bad lately."
"Hm... If you say so."
She turned around and walk off as brad stood there figuring he had nothing to do right now. He went downstairs and walk pass a girl with tan skin and blonde hair with pink highlights. She notice his presence and said.
"Hey brad."
He stops and look at her, she smiled at him which made him puzzled a bit, she notice his confused look and nearly looked surprised.
"Huh, have you forgotten about me? And our little deal?"
"Deal?"
She approached him.
"Yes, I said you should talk to horuda Chan on the roof to go out with you of course."
"What?"
He wasn't expecting this as she was enjoying this.
"Oh you do like her?"
"Wha- Shut up, what are you talking about?"
"Ehehe, come on just admit, or better yet just go up there and tell her."
Brad wasn't okay with this and was about to turn and leave.
"I'm leaving."
"Brad come on, you know what happen if you don't do as asked."
He stops and turned to her not too intimidate.
"What?"
"If you don't then we'll send messages to everyone your pervy games you play."
"Hm? You don't have proof."
"Ah, but anyone would believe a rumor after all."
Brad figured to play along.
"Fine, I guess play your little game."
He walk off as he head upstairs and head to find this girl, he search for her and found her near one of the doors as he approach her.
She was eating out of a bento as she noticed Brad coming up to her, she stops and put her food down, she seem to be anticipation something.
"Uhh, hey horuda."
"H-hi..."
Brad doesn't know if he should go with this, she doesn't know what's going on but he doesn't know what is going on.
"Listen, this girl is asking me to, ask you out or something."
"What?"
She seem pretty shocked to hear that as brad said.
"Yeah, I don't know what she's trying to do but... I think she's forcing me to do it."
"Oh...Really?"
"Yeah..."
"B-but... Do you, actually like me?"
Brad stares at her, she can't stare at him as he find her rather cute.
"Uhm, well. You're, pretty cute and... Beautiful."
She was surprise to hear this and look at him.
"R-really?"
Brad had a weak smiled as brad heard footsteps coming to them as he look back to see five identical girls with different shade of color highlights on their hair approached them.
"Aw look, is the loser couple."
The girl with no color said as they giggle at that, brad see that the girl who set them up was looking at him.
"Yeah, I told you that he likes her."
Brad wasn't liking this, the girl behind him was trying to hide behind Brad as he said.
"You set us up?"
The girl in front scoff at that.
"Yeah, you're too stupid to notice."
They started laughing a bit as brad was already getting annoyed, his stand behind him was starting to manifest as he notice this.
"So this world has a stand user."
He said to himself as he figure to mess with them.
"Anyways, let's show everyone the lamest couple on campus."
They all agreed and pull out their phones and point at them, brad created a yellow gas like smoke coming towards them surrounding them, the gas started to malfunction their phone as they notice this and was confused.
"What the?"
Then suddenly their phones spark as it exploded but didn't harm them but shocked them as they yelped in surprise.
"What the hell?!"
The girl in green said as the girl in red said.
"That was my only phone, my parents are going to kill me!"
Brad was grateful that nobody can see the gas around them as it dispatched as the girl in the middle said.
"C-come on, let's get our of here."
She glance at them upsettingly and they walk off without a word, brad was grateful that it was over as he sigh in relief and turned back to her.
"You okay?"
She was curious about him but was grateful nonetheless.
"Y-yeah, I'm okay."
"That's good to know."
He had a curve smiled as she look away blushing as brad didn't notice.
"Well, I gotta go, I got to see somebody."
She look back at him.
"Really?"
"Yeah, see you later horuda san."
He left without looking back as he head downstairs and started searching for her as he checked the time, it's 1:22 right now. He was feeling a little famished as he checked his bag and only found a chocolate bar, he figure it won't full him but is something at least.
He ate it and toss the wrapper away in a trash can and just explore for a bit seeing many other students eating their food as he spotted someone looking around a corner as he wonder who it is.
She had a dark hair wrap in a pony tail, that's all he can make out as he approach her but figure to not intervene since he doesn't want to mess with someone like her.
He decided to head downstairs and now search for kuroko as he went to each direction and heard a familiar voice upstairs.
He went back upstairs and saw her interrupting that girl looking around the corner, she said.
"Move along ayano."
She did as brad went and approach her as she notice his presence.
"Brad."
"Hey kuroko, I'm here to hear what you have to say."
"Right... If you want to know then I advise you to not intervene or try anything."
Brad was quiet, he doesn't know if he should promise this but said.
"I won't."
"Alright, her name's ayano aishi. We assumed she's murder osana."
"Really? That girl you just talk too?"
"Yes, we don't know how she mangage to get away with it but somehow she did."
Brad was wondering why.
"So, what made you believe it was her?"
"Because, she's always roaming around the school, stalking a boy named taro yamada and has been following him and osana around."
"I, see. Well I'm guessing you don't have evidence to catch her do you?"
"Sadly no, but we're assuming she's after another victim, her name's amai odayaka, she's part of the cooking club."
"I see, well thank you for the information kuroko, we should head to class now."
"Yes, we should."
They walk back to class together as a person was watching them from a far, she has black hair and was looking around a corner at the opposite end of the hallway.
The two ended up back to their seats as brad was taking in the information and wonder what he should do if she's the murderer. If she is he might have to use his stand on her, but he hope it won't come to that.
He looked at her who was looking at her notebook, she seen to be checking her notes as brad was thinking that if he can't deal with this situation with violence, then he need to work with her someway.
"Kuroko."
She nudge her head up a little and looked at him while sitting straight, looking somewhat stoic.
"Hm?"
"Kuroko, I want to help take down ayano if she's the killer you claim her to be."
Her eyebrows lifted in perplexed.
"Really? Is this an excuse to go after her?"
"Listen, I just want to do right and find justice for osana. If the killer is still in school and is after amai then, we have to know that it is ayano and apprehend her."
She was a little surprised to hear this, almost astonished by his attitude.
"Brad, I never knew you were like this, I always see you alone or in the gaming club. You sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm dead set on doing this."
She had a moment of silence but it was cut short when the door open showing the teacher coming in, kuroko said this quickly.
"We'll talk later."
And so they intend to class learning a bit until it was the end of the class secession. From there they pack up their things as kuroko ask Brad to follow her as he did, brad asked her what's going on but she said.
"Please refrain questions until we're there."
"And where's that?"
She didn't replied as they head downstairs until they were on the first floor as they were approaching the student council room. Brad was started to feel anxious as he stops near the entrance as kuroko notice the lack of his footsteps and turned to him perplexed.
"Brad, are you comin-?"
She notice his frightened look as he look like he's having an anxious attack of sort.
"Brad?"
Then his head flick to his left sharply like something hit him, in actuality his stand manifest and slap his face to calm him down in some sense.
"S-sorry, I have a bad history of council rooms."
She was slightly concerned but mostly perplexed, brad walk inside anyways as she said.
"And why is that?"
Brad figured he should tell.
"Well...In my previous school my-"
"Oh, is there a reason he's here?"
They look to who said that and saw that it was akane standing there on the other side of the room and soon after two more wearing the same uniform came in. The next person who came in was a girl with blue hair wearing a eyepatch and she didn't seem too content seeing him. The next girl had a white hair wearing a white scarf with black stripes, she has her hands behind her back while having a smile on her face.
"And who the hell is he?"
The girl in blue said as kuroko went forward and said.
"I know this is sudden but this boy who's name is brad said he wants to help take down ayano."
This raise a few eyebrows beside the girl in white as the girl in blue said.
"You're kidding, right?"
"Now why would he want to do that?"
The girl in white said as akane spoke up.
"Kuroko dear, did you told him about ayano?"
"Yes, I have, that's unlike me I know but he seem serious about apprehending ayano."
"Now why are you telling us this?"
The girl in blue said, rather annoyed at this point.
"Because, we need someone to watch ayano for us, we can't be doing that because of our own duties. That's why brad will be looking out for her."
They were quiet but the girl in white said.
"So he's going to be our spy, I like that idea kuroko."
The others seem different on this as the girl in blue said.
"And why would we allow this? The cops have no evidence that it was anyone here, and we don't know for sure if it was ayano. It could be anyone else."
"I already have evidences that it is ayano but no real proof that she committed the murder. Now she's after amai, who knows what she will do."
They were quiet as akane said.
"Brad, are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I am. I have my reasons to apprehend her."
The girl in blue said.
"This feel like a bad idea."
"And what if he get too close to ayano?"
The girl I'm white said as brad replied.
"I know how to handle myself, this isn't my first time having my life on the line."
This made them curious as akane said.
"What do you mean?"
Brad figured he should tell them a little bit of the things he dealt with.
"Well, back in my previous school, my student council were corrupt and they abused their powers to their own gain. Me and a few stood against them but it didn't go too well, but in the end we mangage to show their corruption to the school and well. It went well afterwards."
They show little reaction but understood it.
"I see, I guess that's the reason why you were opposed to coming in here."
Kuroko said as akane said.
"Well that's quite a story dear, but if you're serious about this then we should keep an on you for the time being."
"What?"
Brad was perplexed as the girl in white said.
"Hm? Keeping an eye on him, well you girls can."
"Tch, like I waste my time on him."
She said as brad didn't quite like that comment but didn't pay it much mind. Kuroko said.
"I keep an eye on him, for now brad will go and look after ayano."
"I'm good with that."
The girl in blue said.
"Okay, does this conclude our meeting or has the real meeting hasn't start yet?"
The girl in white said.
"Should we, tell her about this?"
Kuroko took a step forward.
"No, for now this discussion is only for us."
"Really? Since when you became secretly kuroko?"
The girl in white said, almost teasingly.
"She doesn't need to know about this because is against her principal. We just need info on ayano and apprehend her once we got it."
The girls were quiet as brad said.
Either way, I'm all in this."
He turns to her.
"So, where should I start?"
"You should probably start by joining the cooking club, buy you have to leave your club first."
Brad look away in thought and said.
"Okay."
Afterwards brad left as he head down the hall and head up the stairs and head to the gaming club as he nearly missed it since it had a note on the sign with barely readable words.
He enters the club as he see the group he saw before as he see them sitting while they watch the boy with the red hair playing a game.
Brad approach them as the boy with the spiral glasses said.
"You're late brad."
"Yeah well, I was hold up by the student council."
"Really? What did you got in trouble?"
He said as brad said.
"No, nothing like that..."
He look at the game and see ryuto playing what seem like a fantasy like game where the boy just died by being stab by a skeleton enemy.
"Ahh, damn."
"Seriously ryuto, that's the same enemy that killed you."
The girl with pink and black hair said as he replied.
"I know! I just had low health that's all."
The boy look at brad and handle the controller to him.
"Hey, wanna give it a shot?"
Brad was conflicted on this and said awkwardly.
"Yeah about that... I came here to tell you all something."
They all look at him including the boy who was playing his hand held console.
"I'm leaving the gaming club."
One of them with green hair gasp while the others were genuine shocked to hear this, the boy with the spiral glasses stood up looking rather upset.
"Are you serious? You're leaving when we need you the most? You're the most skilled player in this club, beside me of course. You can't just leave."
Brad shrug his shoulders.
"Sorry, but I have too, I wanted to try another club."
"And what's that?"
The boy asked.
"Cooking club..."
The boy face-palm himself while the others were on the same level as him.
"So, you're leaving us for them? Fine, you think you're better than us do you?"
Brad was almost appalled by that.
"What no, Jeez this is my choice alright, I know is sudden but I have my reasons."
"Fine! Leave then, just so you know you can't rejoin, have fun making shitty cookies then."
Brad turned around rather annoying by his words and summon gas smoke all over him and destroyed his handheld console in his hand. The group reacted surprised by the sudden pop coming from it which really devastate him.
"No, no my saki boy! Noooooo!"
The boy got on his knee and lower his head while brad left with a satisfied grin. He went down the stairs and head to the cooking club as he hope that they would be better than the others.
He enters the club and see many students here, at least 8 of them. His eyes gaze at each of them as his eyes stop on two particular people, the first was a boy with black hair and grey eyes and the next was the girl with black hair with a ponytail, he wonder if this girl could be ayano.
His attention was on another girl who spoke up, she has brown hair with green eyes while wearing a blue apron and a green handkerchief on her head. She seem surprised to see him.
"Hi, welcome to the cooking club, is there something you need?"
Brad took a step forward inside the club room.
"Hi, I uhh, came here to join."
This made a few of them surprised as the girl was glad to hear that.
"Really? That's great to hear! What's your name?"
"My name's brad."
"Brad, is nice to meet you, we are delighted to have you join."
One of them spoke up, she has black hair wrap up in a ponytail wearing a blue handkerchief.
"Uhm, ain't he part of the gaming club?"
"Was part of the gaming club. I left to experience what it's like to try my hand at something else."
Brad object as the leader said.
"That's good to know, welcome to our little club, we were planning on cooking individual cakes so why won't you join us?"
Brad went closer as he asked her name which she told everyone to introduce themselves, he learned their names including the girl he suspected who was ayano. From then his eyes were on her but he wonder what she might do.
The leader name amai was explaining about how to go on baking the cake, saying it will be a small personal one as she said that their's enough ingredients for each of them.
Brad and the others went and grab their ingredients as they started working on their cake. Brad didn't have the slightest clue as one of them decided to help him, a boy with blonde hair name seiyo offer his help which brad agree to.
Meanwhile taro was lose as brad was as amai offer her assistants much to ayano dislike. They all made their cake as brad was more or less listening to seiyo teachings but brad was at time focus on ayano who was watching them then doing her cake.
They took a while but a few already finished theirs as soon everyone was finished with their cakes. Amai checked each one and didn't notice anything wrong which she said.
"Okay, you all did wonderful, now is time to bake each cake."
Saki spoke up.
"But amai, it might take a long while for each of our cakes be cooked."
Shoko also said.
"Yeah, we might be here for an hours."
Amai look at their oven and was a little discouraged but said.
"I-i guess you're right... But it shouldn't take too long to cook just one cake."
Brad look at the others who were a little unsure as she said.
"I-i'll cook up mine and see how long it will take for it to be baked, if it's too long then we have to cook it back at our homes."
They all agreed as it took 25 minutes for it to be cooked as they laze around while talking to one another. Brad had to conversat with them as saki asked why he join.
"Because I said that I wanted to try my hand at something, besides it might benefit me later on."
She like that answer as he notice that ayano was somehow distant from taro but was also refusing to talk to others. He wonder why but figure that someone like her wouldn't bother talking to any of them, but instead was staring at him and amai.
It kinda creep him out but he notice something off from her, he felt some sort of bad feelings from her, like a dangerous aura was resonating from her, he could of sworn he saw black smoke coming from her.
The oven goes off as amai went and took out her cake as it smell good, she put on the counter as mostly everyone compliment her cake.
"Thanks everyone, sorry I didn't think this would take long to make. Maybe we should bake yours at home."
Shoko suggested.
"You should try out your cake."
Amai thought about it and said.
"Maybe I should, to make sure that everything is good before you guys bake yours."
She grab a fork from the counter as brad saw from the corner of his eyes something dark reaching to the cake, he couldn't see what it was but figure his eyes were playing tricks on him.
She went up to her cake and stab it and lift it up pulling a piece from the chocolate cake and ate it. She seem content with the taste for a bit but her expression changed quickly as she cough up like something was in her throat.
She continue coughing as the others were concerned for her, one of them asked if she's okay but she didn't respond but instead continue coughing which she starting to have trouble breathing as she started to have dark smoke coming from her mouth.
This surprised brad as he reacted to this.
"My God, amai...!"
She fell as she cough more as the others were afraid and started to panic.
"Oh my God, amai!"
Brad continue to see more black smoke coming from her mouth as it was starting to foam in her eyes. Brad wonder if the others could see it.
"H-hey, do you guys see that?"
"See what?!"
Seiyo asked in a panic as brad glance at him and back to her as she was hyperventilating as more black smoke was rising from her as ajia said while rushing out.
"I-i'm getting the nurse!"
Brad looked at ayano who looked neutral at this whole situation which made Brad upset. He look back at her who stop coughing but was laying on the ground no longer moving.
"Is, is she...?"
Shoko said as taro ran up to her and was pushing on her chest.
"Amai, amai! No you can't be dying!"
The others were horrified as saki was whimpering in sadness.
"No, amai."
Brad couldn't believe what happened, he looked at ayano figuring this has to do with her as he stare at her with dislike.
She notice him staring as he decided to summon his stand to which she reacted slightly, she saw a humanoid stand wearing a dalmatic like clothing with dark brown color with yellow baroque engraved in the center going down and opening apart near the waist. It has a large stone like metal crown with long cross on top covering is head like a helmet showing is yellow glowing eyes. She couldn't see is face since it was dark.
Brad notice that she can see his stand which upset him, he now knows she has a stand.
"Oh great..."
The nurse came in and see the scene as she ran up to her as taro step aside, she checked her pulse and soon after said.
"I-i'm afraid she's gone."
Everyone besides brad and ayano gasp as the nurse got up and said.
"I'm calling the ambulance, it can't be too late."
She rush off but one of the member was already calling 911, brad stood there feeling helpless, he wasn't the only one as taro bury his face with his hand.
"Amai..."
Brad look at ayano who simply walk out if the club as everyone soon left as well. The sirens wail in the distance as everyone was looking out there club windows seeing the ambulance coming in with a wheel bed, the nurses have to carry amai body to them while the whole school was surprise and shocked to see the sight.
Brad was sitting away from anyone, just in thought of the whole situation, he failed to stop ayano from killing her. He sits outside near the middle as he was not doing well, he heard footsteps and notice it was kuroko coming towards him.
She adjust her glasses.
"What happened?"
Brad look at her just feeling dejected.
"Amai died, and it was ayano who done it."
"Really? Explain how it happened."
Brad was fitting all the info in and decided to tell her the truth.
"This, might sound strange but what I'm going to say is absolutely true. Ayano somehow poison amai, with some sort of black smoke that she created."
She seem a bit perplexed but wasn't convinced.
"Really? How did she do that?"
"She... Has a stand, now before you ask: A Stand is a physical manifestation of a person fighting spirit, she has one and used her ability to kill amai."
He stood up looking over her as she look at him with a not convince look.
"Are you serious? How do you even know she has one?"
"Because, i have one as well."
She was of course, unconvinced as she adjusted her glasses now annoyed by this.
"Brad, you know what you're saying is impossible right?"
Brad figured she wouldn't believe him as he was rather annoyed by this as well. He summon his stand while she continued speaking.
"You know this is serious right? Ayano can't-"
Brad stand reach out and grab hold of her glasses as it was hovering a few inches away from her, she realized it was off of her because her vision became a little blurry. She gasp as she grab hold of her glasses and put them back on, she see brad with a sly grin while crossing his arms.
"D-did you... I-inpossible."
"Yep, I did that."
She was processing the whole thing as a teacher came over to them and said.
"Excuse me but you two must be leaving now, the school is close right now for further investigation."
"R-right."
Kuroko said as they left as brad follow right next to her as they left the school building.
"I told you, she has a stand."
"If she has a stand, then that means she's more dangerous than before. But, you said you have a stand, what is a stand?"
"Well, I told you, they're a physical manifestation of a person fighting spirit, basically their souls in a physical form only stand users can see."
"Wait, only stand users can see them?"
"Yes, I'm the only one who can see her stand and her ability. For some reason amai was coughing frantically while black smoke was coming out of her mouth and her eyes. I asked anyone else who can see it but they didn't, so that means she has a stand."
Kuroko was silent as they were reaching the streets as she stops and look at him.
"Brad, if what you said is true then that means this just got more complicated than it was before. We need to discuss this more with everyone here."
"Right."
She look concerned as brad was getting worried as well.
"I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Right.."
She walk off as brad stood there and look back at the school and turned and leave.
Brad wander aimlessly for a while and realize he doesn't have a place to stay at, he has no money so he can't afford a hotel room. He decided to head to a alleyway and open a portal back to his base.
He end up back to the base and the first thing g he did was eat something in the cafeteria, he was hungry and didn't want to sleep on an empty stomach. He ate alone as somebody came in, brad turned and saw it was jake, he wave at him and greeted him.
"Hey brad, you finished your assignment?"
Brad shook his head rather unpleasant.
"No, I'm still doing my assignment. In fact I'm probably doing bad since the person I'm after just killed a girl."
Jake was surprise to hear that.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, there was nothing I could do. She was poison by her ability, she has a stand by the way."
He sat right next to him.
"Jeez, that's awful, I'm sorry man but, you weren't expecting it right?"
"No, she poison a damn cake when I wasn't looking. But, next time she won't get away with it."
Brad continue eating as jake look forward and was in thought, it was silent between them as jake said.
"I hope you get her."
"Me too."
Brad chug down his drink and said.
"I'm going to bed, don't tell this to my brother."
"S-sure."
Brad left and head to his room and lay underneath his sheets and fell asleep.
