It"s been a couple weeks since the volleyball tournament. Mysteriously, a video of the game was released, showing how Kamoshida lost to a bunch of kids while taking the game seriously.

The blow to Kamoshida"s pride was huge, causing the man to reign in his act for the time being.
Axel, on the other hand, was relatively busy. About a week after the tournament, a TV station got in touch with him, wishing to interview him.
However, Axel ended up rejecting them as he wished to concentrate on his studies while in reality, he didn"t want to draw any more attention.
Occasionally, he would visit Iwai and check in with how he was doing, which usually ended up with him having to cook for both Iwai and his son, who he met when visiting him.
The most rewarding thing that happened was the fact that Axel, Ann, Makoto, Mishima and Shiho all ended up becoming really close friends.
Thanka to being forced to attend detention, Ann and Makoto had enough time to somehow "bury the hatchet" between them and became true friends. Shiho was ecstatic about this as she truly enjoyed the company of both girls.
The boys, on the other hand, started hanging out after school. Mishima"s personality went through a drastic change as he appeared more free and happy.
At school, Mishima smiled more and became friendlier to people around school. Not just him, Shiho began to smile more from the heart and always tried to cheer people up who looked to be having a bad day.
However, some people didn"t take to the changes very well.
After the match, Kamoshida noticed that Mishima and Shiho stopped staring at him in despair and fear. Instead, what replaced it was a will to fight and the determination to see things through.
Driven mad by the lack of things going his way, Kamoshida increased the intensity of their training to extreme levels. However, other than working up a sweat and taking laboured breaths, the pair never once raised a complaint.
As if this wasn"t enough, their actions actually inspired the male and female volleyball teams, leading to everyone completing the extrhard training without complaining.
Kamoshida had almost fainted in fury as all the students hailed Shiho and Mishima like hero"s while treating him as an incompetent and tyrannical coach.
The principle was also in a tough spot. Due to the harsh training Kamoshida had been making the students do, friends of said students become worried when their friends showed up tried and injured after practice and decided to followed them to training. Horrified by what they discovered, they all began making complaints, using video evidence to force the principle to discipline Kamoshida.
Left with no other choice, the principle quickly made Kamoshida reign in his act. Seeing no better outcome for himself, Kamoshida started acting more secretive and removed himself from the spotlight.
Reminiscing about what happened the past couple weeks, Axel smiled as he continued walking to cafe LeBlanc.
April had just started, meaning the protagonist of "Persona 5" should be making an appearance soon.
Wanting to meet him without full-on stalking him or "coincidentally" meeting at school, Axel made a habit of always going to LeBlanc for a morning coffee, a habit quickly picked up by the Nijima sisters.
The reason behind his actions is because he wanted access to the metaverse. While his stagnant status and skills didn"t bother him, he really wanted to train so that he doesn"t get rusty.
Plus, he"s been starting to miss Olivia so he wants to quickly finish his missions and return. Sure, he was fine but there was something about not seeing her for almost an entire month that started eating at him.
Shaking his head, Axel smiled as he arrived outside LeBlanc cafe. Just as he was about to grab the doork.n.o.b, the door suddenly opened. Behind the door was a young man. He had a head of medium length black hair that had a slightly curl, a pair of black gla.s.ses and wore the shujin uniform.
Surprise painted the youth"s face as he stared at Axel. Giving the young man a small nod, Axel quietly made his way inside with a smirk on his face.
As he expected, the youth followed him inside. Ignoring the questioning glare from the youth, Axel sat at the counter with a smile and said, "Morning Sojiro. Could I get the usual?"
Sojiro poked his head out from the kitchen and smiled. However, his smile slowly shifted into a frown before shaking his head with a tired sigh.
Placing a cup of coffee before Axel, Sojiro awkwardly looked around for a couple seconds before muttering, "Axel… I know this is sudden but can you do me a favour?"
Axel seemed to serious mull over Sojiro"s words while swirling his coffee aroud with a spoon while on the inside, Axel was trying his hardest not to laugh.
Giving a small nod, Axel took a sip of his delicous coffee and said with a smile, "Sure. Whatcha need?"
Sojiro sighed in relief before pointing towards the youth, earning a small gasp of surprise from the youth as Sojiro said, "Could you take him to school with you? He"s… new around here and due to personal reasons, I"d rather him travel with someone I can trust to make sure he actually goes."
The youth looked visibly offended but Axel ignored him. Nodding, Axel slowly drank his coffee before reaching for his wallet. Before he could even take out the money to pay, Sojiro grabbed his hand and said, "It"s on the house. You boys best start going to school."
After both Axel and the youth left, a quiet and awkward walk ensued. The youth seemed to want to ask him about something but lacked the drive to actually speak. Axel, on the other hand, was ecstatic as one thought appeared in his head.
"It"s time! The story has finally begun!"
