Axel rubbed his face and yawned, "Morning Shiho… Why are you waking me up?"

"Well," Said Shiho, "If I let you sleep any longer, you'd be late to school."

Taking a second to register what she said, Axel jumped out of his bed, earning a quiet 'eep!' from shiho as he looked at his phone and yelled, "I'm gonna be late!?!"

Axel ignored the red faced Shiho as he quickly threw on his uniform. While he was washing up, Shiho knocked on the door and said, "I made some toast for breakfast. Make sure you eat before you leave, okay? Also, I put your wallet on the counter."

Coming out of the bathroom, Axel smiled as he said, "Thanks Shiho. You gonna be alright staying here on your own? I can leave Stella here if you want?"

You see, Axel didn't see the point to keeping Shiho in the dark about who he was. He explained that he was from another world and showed her his magic as proof.

However, what really surprised her was how Stella turned into a person. At first, Shiho was a little scared of Stella but it only took an afternoon of online gaming to learn that the two really got along.

Heck, the duo were taking the gaming scene by storm, especially since Stella now had hands.

What really made Axel laugh was how Shiho seemed to forget how to be kind when gaming and became a very sarcastic gamer girl.

It actually made Axel and Ann happy since it meant that she was beginning to be more open around them. Ann even cried since Shiho always acted like the meek girl they knew her as.

Anyway, Axel quickly ate his toast before shooting out the door, barely grabbing his wallet as he yelled, "See you guys after school!"

"Bye Axel!"

"Shiho!!! We're getting pushed by two teams!!!"

"SHIT!!!"

Axel barely managed to make it to school on time. And what awaited him was a normal, albeit boring day.

However, at the end of the school day, Kamoshida called for an emergency assembly.

As Axel and his class made there way to the hall, Ryuji nervously stumbled over and whispered, "H-hey… aren't you nervous?"

Axel shrugged, "Not really… I trust that Morgana was telling the truth. What about you, Akira?"

"Well..." Said Akira, pushing his glasses back a bit, "I'm not that worried. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous but something tells me that we aren't in trouble."

"How so?" Asked Axel.

Akira flashed a small smile as he said, "Tell me. Did either of you see Kamoshida this morning?"

Axel shook his head while Ryuji groaned, "Why would that bastard's ugly mug be the first thing I want to see in the morning?"

Once the bustling students settled, Kamoshida slowly walked to the front of the crowd.

His face seemed pale and his eyes were bloodshot. In fact, Kamoshida's body seemed to be trying to collapse into itself with how withdrawn he was.

That set off alarms on Axel's mind since Kamoshida was no where near as bad as this in the anime.

The man pulled a microphone out from his back pocket as he lightly coughed and said, "I-I'm sorry for this unexpected Assembly but there is something that I need to get off my chest."

The students and faculty started murmuring as Kamoshida continued, "For years now, I have been sabotaging every sport team this school has expect the volleyball."

Kamoshida's eyes scanned the room for moment before looking Ryuji, "…I also sent students to the hospital in the name of self-defense."

Gasps rang out through the crowd while Ryuji silently clenched his fist. Akira and Axel both comforted the young man, patting Ryuji on the shoulder to show that they were here for him.

"But worst of all..." Kamoshida paused as he took a long, nervous breath in, "I… I've been t-taking liberties with some of the female students."

Surprise quickly turned to anger as some of the boy stood up to attack the man. The girls on the other hand, were quietly forming groups as some students here and there started crying.

All this served to do was add fuel to the fire. Just as the male students started their charge, Kamoshida suddenly drew a knife.

Everyone halted in place as Kamoshida's voice echoed in the quiet hall.

"I know that I don't deserve forgiveness for what I've done… so I've decided that I'm better off dying for my crimes."

In one fluid motion, Kamoshida flipped the knife in his hand so that it was pointing towards him.

Just as Kamoshida went to thrust the knife towards his own throat, Axel quickly appeared behind him and grabbed his arm as Ann angrily screamed, "STOP!!!"

With Kamoshida in his grasp, Axel watched Ann power through the sea of students. Once she was standing infront of Kamoshida, Ann reeled her arm back and slapped him so hard that she forced Axel back a few steps.

Ignoring the look she was getting from Axel, Ann glared at Kamoshida and growled, "That's a cowards way out and you know it!"

Before Kamoshida could reply, Ann continued, "You don't get to take the easy way out, Kamoshida! Not after what you've done… You deserve to rot in jail for the rest of your life, asshole."

Having gotten that off her chest, Ann turned on the heel of her foot and walked out of the hall, leaving behind thousands of dumbfounded students.

In an instant, Axel disarmed Kamoshida and shoved him to the ground before taking off after Ann.

It took him a few minutes but Axel managed to find Ann hanging around the alley that connected to the metaverse.

"Hey… How're you feeling Ann?" Said Axel.

Without saying a word, Ann turned towards Axel and buried herself into his chest. Her body shook as she quietly sobbed.

Axel gently embraced her, whispering soothing words into her ear while occasionally kissing her head.

After a few minutes, Ann's arms tightened around Axel as she muttered, "Axel…"

"Yes, Ann?"

"…Can I stay over at your place for a few days?"

Axel smiled, "Sure thing Ann."

Ann's fingers lightly danced across his back as she gave him an upturned look, "…Can you make me breakfast in the morning?"

Receiving a nod, Ann bit her lip as her cheeks turned bright red, "C-can we make-out on your bed when we get back to your place?"

Instead of receiving an answer, Ann suddenly found herself being hoisted off her feet as Axel carried her in his arms while sprinting towards his car.

Seeing her normally serious boyfriend acting so silly, Ann couldn't stop herself from bursting into a fit of laughter, her bell like voice echoing through the street.
