Adventuring Other-Worlds With The Adapting System 45 Gathering Evidence

It turns out Ryuji was right. The freaky app that appeared on Akira's and Ryuji's phone was the key to enter the palace. They ma.s.sive castle looked the same as before.

However, just as Ryuji was about to open the door, Axel grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"What gives Axel?"

Releasing a sign, Axel said nothing and pointed towards the window. Confused, the two boys looked through the window and became pale. There were at least 10 suits of armour guarding the stair case infront of the door as well as two gold suits of armour with a dark red aura surrounding them.

Wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead, Ryuji softly said, "The vent?"

"The vent." Said Axel as he removed the vent cover before making his way inside.

Once everyone was inside the safe room, Akira suddenly said, "Wait. Before we continue, I want to try and use that power again."

Axel didn't allow him as he explained, "Akira, waiting until we get into battle. You don't know if using your power will tire you out or not."

Akira wanted to say something but ultimately kept quiet. He knew Axel was right and using his powers might just exhaust him, making him nothing more than a burden.

Suddenly, Axel smiled as he said, "Don't think too much, Akira. With all the guards walking around in this place, you'll be able to test your power sooner rather than later."

Akira showed a bitter smiled while he muttered, "…I don't know if I should be happy about that or not."

The group chuckled before slowly making their way forward. Ryuji actually had a thoroughly thought out plan. They would stop by the students whose training seemed more violent then the others and remember their face so they could ask about it in reality.

Other than that, Akira and Ryuji would ask some of the students some questions, to which they were more than happy to answer.

It seems that Axel's actions had brought about a change in how Kamos.h.i.+da viewed his students. Instead of being too afraid to reach out for help, the students seemed more than willing to spill the beans on anything 'unethical' Kamos.h.i.+da has done.

The boys were informed of multiple cases of Kamos.h.i.+da's petty personality ruining the careers of raising sports stars. However, the thing that caused rage to boil inside all of them was the fact that Kamos.h.i.+da had actually forced multiple girls on the female sports teams to send him dirty photos or even their used clothes and underwear.

Since the girls in the sports teams weren't found on this level, they couldn't get their side of the story.

When Ryuji suggested asking some members from the female sports teams in reality about Kamos.h.i.+da's hara.s.sment, a small pressure leaked from Axel as he spoke with a chilling smile, "Ryuji, don't bring this up to the female sports teams. Kamos.h.i.+da's hara.s.sment is most likely a black stain in their lives that they wish nothing more than to erase the memory altogether. I would rather we tried harder in procuring evidence than bringing up bad memories for those girls."

The boys audibly gulped as they could feel how p.i.s.sed he was. It wasn't like a volcano erupting but a small breeze carrying a chilling wrath.

They could feel a cold hand caress on back of their necks as Axel continued to stand there, smiling.

Akira was confused because he only ever saw the calm and composed Axel while Ryuji was downright scared.

He knew that Axel, Ann and s.h.i.+ho are really close to each other. The students also mentioned about how Kamos.h.i.+da would sometimes beat and berate s.h.i.+ho just because he could while he had hara.s.sed Ann to tears on more than one occasion.

Clenching his fist, Axel stared at his clutched hand as he thought, 'I've never been this angry before… It feels disgusting…'

His mind was focused to the extreme while the impulse to just beat the s.h.i.+t out of Kamos.h.i.+da invaded his mind. However, Axel controlled himself because the world he's in has laws and rules he has to follow. Not only that but there's a chance that his actions will completely ruin the path the story is supposed to follow, creating even more problems.

He knew that some of his actions have changed the story, like how he exposed Kamos.h.i.+da's true character and forced the man to reign himself in. Due to exposing Kamos.h.i.+da earlier than the world intended, he's noticed how Kamos.h.i.+da has become mentally unstable. It's not to the point of him killing people but whenever Axel and Kamos.h.i.+da pa.s.s each other, he's noticed a glint of pure malice in Kamos.h.i.+da's eyes directed towards him.

Sometimes, his malicious stare is even directed to Axel's friends.

Taking a couple deep breaths, Axel composed himself before saying, "Sorry for that. I'm good now."

"You sure? We can take a break for awhile. I mean, we aren't that far front the safe room."

Ryuji was genuinely concerned for Axel. He could see that Axel was a little shaken up from learning about the things Kamos.h.i.+da did to his friends. The fact that he was still unleas.h.i.+ng a slight pressure was more than enough for Ryuji to see he needed time to relax.

It took a couple minutes but the boys made it to the safe room. Inside, the boys were chatting and relaxing, allowing Axel to finally compose himself as the pressure he was unconsciously releasing stopped. Suddenly, the door flung open as a black blur shot inside. As the figure slammed the door, it collapsed against the door as it started panting hard.

Axel stared at the figure, dumbfounded, as he blankly muttered, "…Morgana?"

Wryly looking up, Morgana's eyes widened as he screamed in surprise, "Wha… Axel!?! And the other two as well!?! Why the h.e.l.l are you guys here!?!"

A tick mark appeared on Ryuji's head as he glared at Morgana and yelled, "The h.e.l.l!?! What do you mean, 'And the other two'!?! Akira and I have names, you monster cat!!!"

Taken back, Morgana suddenly gained a burst of strength as he lept to his feet and yelled, "I'm not a cat, you freaking fake delinquent!!!"

Seeing the two about to jump into a full on brawl, Axel sighed as he gave both a swift chop to the back of the head and said, "Calm down you idiots."

Both Ryuji and Morgana gained small b.u.mps on their heads. Axel had alot of control over his strength, so the hit, while not strong enough to actually hurt them, was enough to give them a lot of pain.

The pair seemed to have calmed down while they both glared at Axel angrily.

Axel rolled his eyes at the pair as he plainly said, "I'm not gonna apologise. You both wanna act like idiots? Then I'll treat you like idiots."

Turning towards Akira and Ryuji, Axel glared at them as he said in a harsh tone, "Remember, we are here to get evidence on Kamos.h.i.+da. We all need to be focused or else we might die here."

Speaking up to here, Axel managed to get the point across as Ryuji shuddered.

Ryuji had a flashback of what happened when they first arrived here. How he almost died if not for the timely a.s.surance of Akira.

Morgana went silent as he knew that Axel was right. Just before he came to the data room, Morgana had been trying to look around inside the palace but every turn he took would just lead to a squadron of armoured guards.

If he didn't focus on escaping, he just might've ended up back in that jail cell.

Ryuji and Morgana looked at each other for a second before turning towards Axel. The pair surprised him as they both bowed their heads as they both said, "I'm sorry. I'll stay focused from now on."

Axel nodded his head as he smiled and said, "Great! Now let's get this show on the road!"
