With a tired yawn, Axel smiled as he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.

The next morning, Axel woke up still feeling the abrupt boost in status. Feeling the power flowing through him, Axel couldn't help but smile.

Because Stella is stealthy guarding Shiho, Axel didn't have to wait for her lazy butt and quickly left for school after washing up and having breakfast.

His first stop was at LeBlanc. Opening the door, Axel smiled as he imitated a childish voice and said, ”Akira, ready for school?”

Followed by loud footsteps, Akira quickly appeared downstairs in his uniform which looked hastily put on just so he could roll his eyes at Axel. Sojiro chuckled from behind the bar as he laid two coffees down.

After Axel and Akira finished their coffees, they quickly left for school. However, half way there, they both got a text from Ryuji that said, ”We need to talk.”

Once Axel and Akira reached the school gate, the pair were dragged into an alley by Ryuji.

Ignoring the glare coming from the two, Ryuji smiled and said, ”I think we should go back to the castle.”

All the anger Axel felt vanished as this is the moment he has been waiting for. Suppressing his smile, he agreed and turned towards Akira, waiting for his response.

Seeing the expectant gazes focused on him, Akira sighed as he said, ”OK, I'm in.”

School passed by uneventfully besides the fact that during lunch, Stella would tease him by reporting about when Shiho took showers or when she was getting changed, causing Axel to turn bright red.

After school, Axel quickly ran to the roof to wait for Ryuji and Akira. Luckily, he didn't have to wait for long as Ryuji and Akira appeared a minute or so later.

Ryuji wasted no time as he brought out his phone and smugly said, ”Behold!”

Akira just stared at him while Axel decided to tease him as he pulled out his phone and said, ”Mines a better model.”

Ryuji rolled his eyes and exclaimed, ”I'm not talking about my phone. I'm talking about this app. Don't you remember? Just before we arrived at that castle, we heard a series of beeps? I think that the freaky app that Akira was talking about is responsible for bringing us there and now, I have it too.”

Both Axel and Akira stood rooted to the spot with surprise glued to their faces. Axel suddenly checked his phone before looking west. His actions seemed to have confused Ryuji as he asked, ”Um… Axel? What're you doing?”

”I'm checking to see if the sun rose from the west this morning.”

”Hey! Screw you!” Said Ryuji as he glared at Axel.

”Well, putting jokes aside. Why do you want to go back?”

Ryuji suddenly smiled as he said, ”Well, after we left, I've been thinking over what you and Morgana said about cognition. I was thinking that we might be able to find enough evidence there to get Kamoshida fired.”

Silence. No one said a word as Akira and Axel stared at Ryuji with wide eyes. Ryuji knew what they were thinking as he growled and said, ”What? I'm not an idiot! I can use my brain when I want to!”

Suddenly, Akira coughed to gather their attention as he said, ”So I take it we'll be going back again? I kinda want to get used to that power.”

Ryuji nodded before turning to stare at Axel. Both Akira and Ryuji knew that while Akira had his power, Axel was physically stronger and faster than they were. Hell, he even managed to send the shadows flying with his own brute strength. Not to mention that he was smart enough to understand what Morgana was talking about. Having him come along would be a major boon for them.

Both boys didn't have to wait long as Axel smiled, pumped his fist into the sky and yelled, ”Let's raid the palace!”

”Hell yeah!” Exclaimed Ryuji and Akira as they happily raised there fists.
