"Just Awake"


-Three years since Claw's assault-

It was July, and a bright day in the Spirits and Such Consultation Office, three clients in a row and so much money, for Reigen, at least until Tome went apeshit on the shameless bastard for trying to hide some of the payment from them, then the money went to Shigeo, Serizawa and her. Right now, the four, five counting Dimple, were relaxing their asses in the couches watching the ending of "Akira" while eating popcorn.

The boss from the office couldn't help but furrow his brows in bewilderment, "I didn't understand it at all, what happened at the end?"

Tome scratched her chin narrowing her eyes in thought. "I think Tetsuo died but at the same time didn't." Everyone in the room looked to her with faces that couldn't mean a thing other then confusion, if their raised eyebrows said anything. Mob didn't really raise his brow, he merely regarded her with a poker-face. "What I'm saying is-"

"I wonder if I would end up like Tetsuo if I didn't have you all guys." Everyone grimaced and shivered at the idea of Mob being a sociopathic bastard who consumed drugs with a well-developed inferiority complex and with a need to show everyone his worthiness by attacking the world's army. "Just kidding."

And then everyone relaxed. "Your jokes aren't fun Shigeo." The spectrum seriously spoke, and the young psychic tilted his head to the side slightly. "They aren't?"

Serizawa recalled the few times when Shigeo told them a joke, these moments could be counted with the fingers, they were treasures, but of course, Shigeo's sense of humor wasn't very amusing, to say the least. Sometimes his jokes could be scary. "It's not that Master Mob, it's just that…that…"

"That your sense of humor is lousy, the end." Reigen nonchalantly affirmed, pulling his cellphone and playing Psycho Dash.

Reigen could still remember when Mob stamped his cake during his birthday straight to his face and laughed for a long time. Everyone glanced to Reigen with a frown. "Sometimes you're an asshole, Reigen." Tome angrily told him, earning one of Reigen's weird and exaggerated faces. "Mind your tongue, apprentice, or your salary will be diminished! Also, you better refer to me as bo-"

"First of all, I'm not your apprentice, I'm Serizawa's, he's the real backbone over here, second, stop talking as if this was a seriously serious job because it isn't, and third, we aren't working, so if I want to, I'll call you "Old fart" like I ever do."

It was true that she got used to calling him like that after the first year of working for the consultation office, often calling Reigen "Old man" or "Old fart". Reigen zeroed in on her, his eyes meeting hers in a staring contest before he simply returned to his game. "Fair enough, Kurata," Reigen spoke. He simply wasn't in the mood to argue with her like they ever did, his mind was blowing up after that random ending of the movie Mob put and he needed a small break, and what better for a break than Psycho Dash?

Tome blinked twice but decided to rest importance to the success, glancing to Shigeo. "So? You understood the ending of your movie?"

Both Serizawa and Dimple glanced to the Esper and Shigeo scratched his rather spiky hair, his reddish-brown eyes narrowing in thought until he resolved that he understood everything but the ending. "I'm as confused as you. Ritsu was the one who recommended this movie to me, I'll ask him about the finale later."

"Your brother has a taste for dark movies I see." Dimple said, earning a glance from Shigeo. "Maybe, but that's how Ritsu is."

The black-haired teenager accepted that his brother sometimes was a little…how would Tome call it? Edgy? Yes, that could be the word, although Ritsu almost never showed that side of him.

"Master Mob, I hope you ask him about that weird ending. Also, it surprises me how many times Tetsuo and Kaneda shouted the name of each other, that was weird."

"Tetsuoooo!" Dimple yelled with a retarded face.

"Kanedaaaa!"

Dimple and Serizawa laughed uncontrollably between themselves, and even Shigeo seemed to be affected by the way both yelled these names if his own soft laugh said anything, Tome was the same story. Only Reigen was unaffected by it, or at least he was in everyone's perspective, because he was holding back some snickers, and with snickers he meant laughs.

They were enjoying their free time inside the office with that air conditioner on, a device that was a must-have in these times, summer. It was already afternoon, but the heat was still there.

Everyone kept doing their thing in the place, talking, playing, re-watching some scenes of the movie and things like these until they heard a knock in the principal door.

"A client? At this hour? That doesn't happen every day." Reigen spoke before standing up from the couch and hiking towards the door, opening it. Everyone glanced to the door, catching sight of a teenager with a white sweatshirt, black pants, and disheveled black hair, as tall as Reigen.

No wonder who he was.

"Oh, it's you." The future high-schooler flatly let out with a nonchalant facial expression. "Mob's brother? Nice to see you too." The Exorcist sarcastically greeted. He still didn't know what was the deal with his disciple's brother, he already told Mob that he wasn't an Esper, he wasn't lying to him anymore, what did this guy want? Or, perhaps, that was his normal face! He and Mob were truly alike then!

"Ritsu?" Shigeo asked, standing from the couch too and walking to the door, his brother smiled at him. "Hey, Shige, I was searching for you,"

"Why?" Dimple questioned before Shigeo, but he didn't care, he was going to ask the same thing anyway. "Because someone came to our house asking for him." The youngest of the brothers answered, his smile changing for a raised eyebrow. "I didn't know other schools were so focused on you, Shige, you're so lucky, they selected you to be on their premises."

Reigen and Dimple's eyes widened in bewilderment and the other two who weren't in the entrance heard what Ritsu said, shuffling closer to the entrance, they wanted to hear more.

"What?" Shigeo inquired with curiosity, this revelation was unanticipated for the Esper, who always had been a mob for the society, someone who didn't stand out. That fact apparently changed when Ritsu pulled out a sheet from his dark pants pockets and gave the paper to him.

"And this?"

"Read it." His brother simply said, and Shigeo did as he was told. When he ended, the esper placed the letter inside his light blue anorak. "I'll think about it."

Reigen, who read what was written in the letter couldn't hide a sneer of contempt. These idiots surely only wanted Mob because he was a psychic, and he didn't know how they knew about that. He couldn't say he was better than them, from a start he only hired Mob because of his powers, but now he genuinely cared about him. Reigen just expected Mob to be wise with his decision.

The Exorcist would do an investigation about this Honnō City later, though. "Guys, I'm leaving, see you all tomorrow."

"Bye." Everyone let out, and Reigen returned to the insides of the consulting room as Shigeo moved out of the place to his house alongside Ritsu. "The man said he would roam around here for ten days until you accept."

Until he accepted? Did this man assume he was going to accept just because he was being invited to a prestigious academy? Things weren't that simple, he would have to pay for the trip over Kanto, which wasn't too close to Seasoning City, to begin with, and then to return over here he would have to pay for ANOTHER trip, it would be a mess and what Reigen would call a pain in the ass, that unless they had apartments, which would also be another cost.

"If you are wondering, they will assign a dorm for you in the One-Star district, Shige,"

Oh, how convenient.

Well, that was certainly a good offer he wouldn't mind to accept, but…"What does "One-Star" and "Two-Star" mean? Are these ranks?" Shigeo inquired, earning a nod from his little brother. "The higher your rank, the best your living conditions will be. They don't mention where the No-Star students live. Once you accept the scholarship, every service, as water, electricity, internet, gas, and some more are automatically paid and you get to be there for free, it's one of the privileges those selected by Ragyo Kiryūin herself have, or that was what the fellow following us says, right, Sanageyama?"

Shigeo's gaze shifted to the zone where Ritsu glanced, and there, in the MobRonalds roof, a man with wild dark green hair was sitting, watching the conversation the two brothers were having. The guy hopped over in front of the two, landing halfway from the Kageyama siblings, and Shigeo examined his appearance; he had a long open white coat that reached his legs, which were covered by matching white pants and shoes. He had a belt with spikes in the front and his shoulders had spikes too, three by both sides, below the coat a cadet-blue vest could be seen. The Esper almost didn't see the sword sheath in the backside of the man arose eagerly to see Shigeo.

"Ha! We finally meet face-to-face, Shigeo Kageyama, or should I say…White T-Poison!"

The biggest from the brothers raised his eyebrows in curiosity, White T-Poison was the name the delinquents and bullies from other schools used to refer to him as the first student to defeat Hanazawa, the secret leader from Black Vinegar Highschool, Ritsu told him about it.

Was this guy a delinquent too?

"Who you are?" Shigeo questioned. Sanageyama clicked his tongue. He really didn't know who he was? Laughable.

"Didn't your little bro told you yet? I'll introduce myself to you then!"

Crossing his arms, spreading his legs slightly and a strange green light appearing out of the blue, the man roared enthusiastically "I'm Uzu Sanageyama, member of Honnōji Academy's student council and the director of the Athletic Committee!"

Both Shigeo and Ritsu remained still, not impressed in the slightest. "Amazing entrance didn't it?" Sanageyama cockily asked. When Ritsu was about to tell him a flat "No", Shigeo beat him to the punch by stating "That was impressive, Sanageyama," Mob walked towards Sanageyama until he was close enough, and lend a hand to him. "I'm Shigeo Kageyama, but you can call me Mob, it's nice to meet you."

Shigeo didn't feel too impressed by the entrance, but that light that shone was nice, and he would be nice with Sanageyama, he was introducing himself after all, and kindness was the secret behind a person's charm.

Sanageyama raised an inquisitive eyebrow; to be the one who humiliated Teruki Hanazawa three years ago, he was a very kind person and his appearance wasn't very threatening either. A bulky light blue anorak, dark green pants, white shoes, and black and rather spiky hair. His constitution seemed to be average.

He took the hand regardless of the mild disappointment he felt, but sure White T-Poison had something hidden if he was strong enough to beat that hellish blonde from Black Vinegar Middle-School.

"I'm looking forward to fighting with you and see what you're capable of!"

Ritsu frowned at the warrior's words. If this guy attacked his brother out of nowhere, he wouldn't have mercy with him.

"You are a fighter?" Shigeo inquired as he let the hand go, only for Sanageyama to excitedly state "Yeah! I'm a proud and powerful fighter, member of the Elite-Four from Honnōji Academy!" The fighter pointed his thumb to the outfit he was wielding. "This here is a Three-Star Goku Uniform, and I always use it in my serious fights! My bamboo sword is itching to battle you!"

Sanageyama seemed to be the type of person who enjoyed testing his abilities against others and that was rather good, it was good for a person to be so full of life. For Ritsu, he was just an arrogant and cocky guy who couldn't stop trying to look great, but for Shigeo, he was a person he wouldn't mind being friends with. He reminded him of the Body Improvement Club back in Salt Middle-School, oh, the memories were so warming, funny and good.

"My brother says you'll stay here for ten days."

Sanageyama scratched his head's back, disinterested in the matter. "Of course, until you answer the request of the academy, I've been ordered to escort you to the academy if you make up your mind in these ten days,"

Because he would need time to think about it, right? There weren't any people in this world who would outright deny an invitation from Honnōji Academy, after all, and the odds of someone doing so were extremely low, everyone went to the Goku Uniforms like mosquitos for a person in summer. No one ever denied an invitation from Honnōji Academy ever since it was created and inaugurated.

He wasn't quite pleased when they ordered him "Recruit Shigeo Kageyama" and to stay here far from Kanto for ten days. Well, what to do, it wasn't as if he had more important things to do apart from going out searching for someone worth the effort to fight and discussing with the other members of the Elite-Four, so this could be somewhat refreshing. Moreover, this guy selected by Lady Ragyo…how couldn't he notice before? Sanageyama's fighting instinct was telling him to be aware of an immeasurable force laying inside White T-Poison, he swore he could see that overflowing and sparkling aura if he focused enough, which only thrilled Sanageyama more.

Shigeo briefly glanced to the pocket where he had the letter before replying. "I'll sleep on it, for now, thanks."

The warrior moved his hand in a nonchalant manner, "No problem, if you make up your mind you'll find me on that apartment over there, " Sanageyama pointed his index finger to a big building in front of the MobRonalds, which was the one where he came from, too. "See ya later then!" Sanageyama spoke as he hiked towards the building with hands in his pockets and a confident smirk on his face. If White T-Poison accepted, then he knew who would be his next objective.

He was pumped.

And Hanazawa lived here too, maybe the warrior would go roam over there searching for the blonde, he still owed him a rematch for that loss against him that time when he and his gang visited Seasoning City four years ago. The strength Sanageyama witnessed that time was awe-inspiring, how could Hanazawa have that much strength being a First Grader and without a Goku Uniform? Maybe he would find the answer with Shigeo, the one who defeated him.

Yep, he was greatly pumped.


FLASHBACK


It was a shining day, the sky was blue, the birds were singing, and the sun wasn't particularly hot, it was almost winter. The perfect time for a gang from another region to attack your school, no?

"You already know who I am, no?! I heard that your gang challenged us! And we are here to see if you guys have guts to face me and my group!"

Every student from Black Vinegar Middle-School was inside, along with the professors, who couldn't be more scared and shocked; this guy came out of nowhere with a vast amount of people to challenge the Black Vinegar's gang, which was way too small in comparison.

300 vs 30

"T-The hell?!" Edano squealed in astonishment at the number of people filling the premises of his school, almost not fitting. "That's right! We'll send you to hell if you don't give us Teruki Hanazawa now!" Sanageyama yelled, the massive group of the Northern Kanto Gang Leader Alliance emitting a war cry to remark these words, and everyone saw how a blonde with a shaggy haircut and wearing the Black-Vinegar uniform passed as his group spread to let him walk properly. The uncaring gaze he had was outright mocking for Sanageyama, and he couldn't help but furrow his brows and click his tongue.

"I see you set free all these monkeys from the zoo, Edano, why would you do that?" Teruki asked the shivering and sweating guy. "T-Teru! They challenged us and we dared them to come here! We didn't expect this many thugs to come along that douchebag!"

Teruki sighed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation. "To interrupt my date like that…I'll make sure you learn a lesson after this ends, Edano, for now…" The blonde glanced to the massive group with an arrogant and condescending gaze. "…I'll discipline these animals and make them return to where they came from."

Sanageyama spat in the ground with rising anger. "Don't mess with us you piece of shit!" A thug yelled before the whole group pounced over Teruki, and the Black Vinegar students flinched, thinking that this would be the end, a total humiliation.

And it was.

With lazy movements, slaps, throws and impulsing himself, Teruki absolutely obliterated almost a half from Sanageyama's gang in less than six seconds. The ones that were yet to be punished assaulted him with different weapons, such as chains, knives, bamboo swords, and one pulled a cutter.

None of them worked in the slightest.

"Sometimes…you have to show the weak how useless their efforts are, and you all are a joke compared to my gift!"

Doing the wild dance he always used when many humans attacked him, Teruki pummeled and defeated every and all the members of the gang with powerful punches and kicks enhanced by his own powers, except for one.

Sanageyama was watching everything with wide eyes full of shock. How could this guy defeat his group of 300 people just like that?! Was he…What kind of monster was he?! Every inch from his body was telling him to retreat while he could, but Sanageyama was no coward, and more importantly, he wouldn't abandon his gang here with this guy.

"You…" He tightened the hold over his bamboo sword. "Why you?!" Sanageyama hopped over Teruki and swung his sword laterally.

And then vertically.

Diagonally.

From behind.

He was trying to hurt him, all in vain.

"I'm afraid that won't work…" Teruki arrogantly spoke as Sanageyama tried and tried to injure him with his swings, unable to explain why his swings were ineffective even though they were fully connecting with Teru's body. "…because you're all extras. Don't you get it yet?"

The blonde grabbed the sword with his left hand, Sanageyama's moves became significantly slower after more than one hundred swings, becoming slow enough for him to react and catch the bamboo sword. "I'm the protagonist of this world, and you all were doomed at the moment you decided to come this far to challenge me with these gorillas you have for friends."

Without hesitation, Teruki crushed the bamboo sword with his bare hands, Sanageyama's mouth opening wide to yell "No!", only to be silenced by the right palm of Teruki.

Sanageyama's stomach exploded in pain as he was sent many meters in the air, only to land in a house's roof, spilling blood from the throat, blood that stained in his black open coat, bad boy shirt, and black pants.

He was humiliated, and he didn't need anyone to tell him it was like that. This was too much to take.

"…So…strong…!"

And with these mumbles, Sanageyama fell unconscious.

In the next morning, he woke up in Kanto again, and his group explained what happened to him, how they found him sleeping in a house's roof, and how they were brutally defeated by Teruki Hanazawa, too.

Sanageyama clenched his fists so hard he drew blood out from them that day.

"Hanazawa…! He'll pay someday!"

The warrior resolved, too, that he would have to become stronger if he wanted to have a slim chance against that monster.


END FLASHBACK


"I almost thought you forgot I was here, Shige."

The eldest of the brothers glanced to Ritsu. "I'll never forget about you, Ritsu, I'm your brother, remember? You can't get rid of me, and so I can't."

Shigeo earned a smile from his little brother. "I already know,"

Deep inside, Ritsu always knew that fact, even when he gained the powers he yearned for during almost all his life. When he acted as if he truly hated his brother, lying to himself.

"Let's go home, mom and dad sure are waiting for us," Ritsu spoke as he walked, his big brother following him to their house.

Little did they knew, someone was watching them both from a distance.

"How convenient!" Sho Suzuki yelled aloud, not worried about if they hear him, they couldn't, not at this distance. He would have a talk with Ritsu later.


It was midnight, and Ritsu was sleeping like a stone in his comfortable bed. The night was so calm and silent, no loud neighbor, which was a rare sight, he always had to bust down his neighbor's musical honk, it was such a nuisance.

That was until the sound of his window opening attracted his attention, waking him up and startling him. Bloodshot eyes searched for the light switch, and once he found it, a hand stopped him from turning the lights on.

"Shhh! Don't!"

That voice.

That voice.

Ritsu glared to the side and saw a teenager with ginger-colored hair, a black shirt, and light brown shorts. These blue eyes that glowed in the darkness of the room were recognized, too.

"Suzuki?!"

Sho covered his ears at the practically shout, placing a finger on his own lips and emitting another "Shhh!"

Ritsu decided to follow his silent advice and lower his voice, that could've perfectly woke his parents and brother. "What are you doing here?!" He whispered, and Sho sat in the chair close to his desk. "Dunno…visiting my old friend?"

"Cut the…!"

Ritsu almost yelled again but lowered his voice in time. "Just, what are you doing here? It's not quite the time to go and start a conversation with your friends at damn 12 PM, know that?"

"Geez, you're very welcoming with your buddies I see." Sho sarcastically said as he placed a finger inside his ear, scratching the insides, something that was gross to Ritsu's eyes. "And you're the same smartass you always were, I see," Ritsu stated in a whisper, something that earned one of these murderous glares from Sho. "Why so mean? It's not like I'll destroy your computer even though I could."

"Don't. You. Dare."

The two were in a staring contest to see who could make the worst glare, and it seemed that Ritsu won, because Sho scratched his head nonchalantly and made an innocent face. "Just kidding! Can't we tell jokes between ourselves once in a time?"

"We could if only you didn't wake me at damn 12!"

"It's not like we can talk about this matter at another hour either," Sho spoke, his face going totally serious just like that time when he visited Ritsu to burn his house. "I don't want anyone to see us, or hear us talking about this, it's dangerous."

Ritsu stared at him before saying "Care to enlight me about that?"

"Alright…I'll explain it to you." Sho crossed his legs, this was going to be rather long. "I saw that man inviting your brother to…Emoji?"

"Honnōji Academy." Ritsu corrected and Sho nodded. "Yes, that thing. Well, he's the only one from here that is able to go and study there, so I guessed it wasn't wrong to inform about some things."

"To the point, I want to sleep."

"Geez, " Sho interlaced his hands behind his head and continued. "No one here knows too much of that academy, which is strange, because the existence of the Goku Uniforms is well known in all the country, no, in all the world." Ritsu's silence could be traduced as "Continue", and so Sho did. "The Goku Uniforms are human-enhancing clothes that are bestowed by the Student Council President from the academy, Satsuki Kiryūin, and even though Honnōji has dominated all the schools in Japan except the ones in the Kansai Region and the ones in Seasoning City from Chūbu, the Goku Uniforms are only bestowed in Honnō-"

"What does all of this has to do with Shige?"

Sho huffed in exasperation. "Can you wait till I finish with my explanation?" Ritsu nodded in response, allowing Sho to continue. "My point is, that school isn't anywhere near normal, and something devastating will happen soon," Sho pointed a finger to the other Esper apart from him in the room. "Your brother has to go there if or if!"

Ritsu shook his head at the words his friend spoke, earning a frown out from him. "Huh? Why? It's not like your brother, is dumb is he?"

The youngest from the Kageyama denied with a finger. "If something violent happens, Shige will do everything but accept studying in that school, he isn't the person who attacks others."

Ritsu remembered a time when Shigeo used a shockwave to knock out a mugger who tried to rob him and Reigen one day and that other time when Shigeo and he were walking in the night after Teru's birthday and were assaulted by a gang, only for Shigeo to knock all of them with one punch, one even screamed "It's White-T Poison!" like a girl before being knocked.

"Well…maybe after that incident, Shige has become…looser, and he doesn't hesitate in punishing those who attack him out of the blue, but he always warns them to leave him alone first." Ritsu clarified, earning a silent chuckle out from Sho.

"Ha! So your brother has stopped being a coward? About time! That's all I needed to hear." Sho got up from the chair and walked to the room's window. "If that's the case, then congrats, I'm convinced that your big brother will be pleased to go after what I'm gonna say…"

Ritsu raised an inquisitive eyebrow. "Go on."

Sho spun around to face him again so fast that it actually startled Ritsu, a serious glare printed all over his face. "This case can be devastating, for all the planet."

Oh.

Crap.


-The next day-

"Busy with an exorcism boss?" The black-haired man inquired as he cleaned the office with a broom, wiping out the dirt and the trash.

"Pretty much, Serizawa."

Reigen was sitting in the chair and pushing buttons on the computer, moving the mouse of said computer and doing an exorcism. This exorcism, completely real and no fake, consisted in exorcising a ghost from a photo, said ghost was uglier than Quasimodo, it sent shivers down Reigen's spine. The exorcism, of course, was executed using a tool made specifically for exorcisms.

Said tool was called "Photoshop" and was VERY useful.

"Aaand…" Reigen moved the mouse a little too fast and unintentionally erased the hand of the person in the image, who was CONVENIENTLY close to the spectrum. "Fuck!"

"What's the problem boss?! The ghost escaped?!" Serizawa asked, alarmed at the curse his boss yelled. "N-No, Serizawa, I have things under control."

Serizawa sighed in relief and kept cleaning the office. "Boss, you scared me."

"Sorry, but it was your fault for doubting the Psychic of the Century's capabilities."

Serizawa chuckled at that. It was usual for Reigen to joke about himself having ESP.

With that, Reigen kept up doing his thing as well. It wasn't until five minutes passed that Reigen could correct his error and exorcize the being in the photo, which surely was just his damn grandma one Monday in the morning walking behind a guy.

The thing even had LIGHT BROWN HAIR.

"Exorcism accomplished!"

Reigen imprinted the image and blew air on it before kissing it, admiring his own amazingness. "Let's call our client and inform him about our success, Serizawa."

"Alright." Serizawa placed the broom along with the other brooms using his telekinesis and went to the phone in the table close to the couches, calling to the most recent client they had in the day.

"Yes? Mr. Minch, yes, we finished the task, of course, will come here for the photo at 2:00? Splendid, have a nice day and thanks for paying for our services."

Reigen rushed over the phone before Serizawa could hang. "We hope you require our services in the near future!"

BEEP

Reigen hung.

Serizawa was staring at him with raised eyebrows and mouth open wide. "Boss! Saying that isn't wishing bad luck for the client?!"

Reigen chuckled almost devilishly, and Dimple emerged from Reigen's nose like snot. "That's the point Serizawa!" The spectrum spoke, provoking Serizawa to grimace and Reigen to laugh.

"Recharged batteries Dimple?" Reigen asked as he passed a hand across his messy light brown bangs. Dimple went out totally from Reigen's nose, acquiring his balloon-like form. "Some, but it's a nuisance to need being inside you to live."

"Come on, it's been three years already, you must've got used to it." The Exorcist affirmed, and Serizawa followed him by correcting "Besides, you're a spectrum, you aren't alive."

"Shut up! I'm great Dimple and such a statement isn't suitable for me! I was never dead and I feel so alive right now that I might punch you in the face!" Dimple exclaimed as he rolled up his inexistent sleeve. Reigen snickered at this while a vein bulged in Serizawa's temple. "Well guys, I'm a busy man so I'll leave you two settle the things between yourselves in peace."

Reigen hiked to his chair and leaned comfortably against it before moving the mouse of the computer and entering to Techno Search, the biggest and more massive searching tool in the world, with the most amount of information.

"Let's see…Honnōji Academy…"

While Serizawa stamped Dimple against the ground continuously, Reigen typed his search; if he was frank, he didn't really know about this Honnōji Academy. Of course, he knows it was located somewhere in Kanto, but he was curious as to what was going on there and why it was so famous in all the country but in Seasoning City, where few to no person was well informed about it.

He saw HundredPedia on the screen and clicked on the mouse once he placed the arrow on the page's portal. The Exorcist started to read what appeared on-screen along with an image of Honnōji Academy's entrance:

Honnōji Academy.

Honnōji Academy is a prestigious High School located at the top of Honnō City, constructed and inaugurated in the year?

The creation of the academy was commissioned by the CEO of REVOCS, Ragyo Kiryūin, with her daughter Satsuki Kiryūin being charged to govern it and the city, Honno

The school system works the same as other High Schools in Japan, with the addition of the Goku Uniforms, which are bestowed by the Student Council President to the students after testing them in the first month, the Evaluation Month

The system also grants the students who acquire at least a One-Star uniform in the first day free dorms with all services paid. Those who are also selected personally by the director of the school, Ragyo Kiryūin are also offered the same privileges as a One-Star student.

Status: Operating.

Number of students: ?+ and increasing.

Reigen was wondering why they hid the date of creation of the school, but he put it aside from that and moved the bar down. It seems that they had their own celebrations too, such as the "No-Late Day", whatever that was. It all ended up on him entering the Honnō archive.

Everything he read was useless for him, except for a small, VERY small line…

The lowest district of the city is well-known for the paranormal incidents reported weekly and is a place where the people say that screams and cries can be heard during the nights, where the objects usually move on their own when no one is watching, the city is a place for exorcist-

He stopped reading there.

Reigen's eyes shined with a cunning glow, and he glanced in front of the monitor with a sly smile, to see Serizawa and Dimple fighting like children.

"Serizawa, Dimple…I think there will be a change in schedule…" He spoke with a grin and both Serizawa and Dimple glanced between themselves.

The only Esper in the office scratched his short hair in confusion. "I didn't know there was a schedule in the first place," Serizawa said, and the grimace Dimple was doing could only mean the same. Reigen huffed in exasperation.

"It doesn't matter really…but..Serizawa, you'll work double time and you'll be paid more!"

"Huh?"

"Yes! We can't leave room for the competence in Honnō City!"

Poor Serizawa didn't know what awaited him in the following days, but Reigen didn't care. He would show the world that not even the exorcists in Honnō could outclass him, the exorcist from Seasoning City and from the Century.


EXTRA


It all started one morning, and then it repeated through the week until Ritsu couldn't stop his need to know what was bothering his brother. So, one morning, he resolved that he would have to ask him during breakfast.

"Brother?"

Shigeo was eating his breakfast in the table along with his family when his brother called him, provoking him to shift his gaze towards him, noticing the stares of his parents, too.

"What is it, Ritsu?"

The youngest of the family narrowed his eyes sharply before asking "Are you angry?"

He wasn't angry. "No? Should I?" Ritsu shook his head. "Do you feel sad?"

Shigeo certainly wasn't sad. "No."

Ritsu placed a hand in his chin. What could've caused his brother to raise his hair? It was strange. "Do you feel animosity?"

The eldest of the brothers shook his head. "No."

"Courage?"

Why would he feel courageous? There wasn't anything to do that required courage right now, did he needed to be brave at the hour of breakfast?

"No."

"Anxiety?"

There was no reason to feel anxious. "No."

Ritsu closed his eyes until he thought of something. "Do you feel very happy?"

"I'm always happy when I'm with my family," Shigeo affirmed with a smile, earning more smiles from everyone. "Why are you asking me how I feel, Ritsu?"

The Esper pointed to his head. "Because of your hair, it only gets spiky when you feel a particular emotion over all others."

Shigeo passed a hand across his hair and to his surprise, he felt it somewhat spiky, just like his brother said. "I think he looks good with it!" His father chuckled, and his mother looked at him with an even more concerned glance. "Shige! You don't look like you!"

Ritsu had his own theory about this; lately, his brother was more expressive, he let his emotions free more often if not all the time since that incident, and he became better at socializing. Maybe his previous internal struggle didn't let him have all of that? He no longer hid what he felt nor what he thought.

Maybe it was because of that that his hair went somewhat wild now.
