flashback
Tuesday, April 16
10:00:00 AM
at a café in Shibuya
(The signs of the zodiac occasionally wear invisible masks that change their faces, allowing them to live comfortable lives.)
After talking to Wataru, the sign of Taurus had gone to have a coffee, but when he had finished, someone called his name.
"Kenta!" A strange girl approached the sign of Taurus to talk to him.
She whispered, "How can you accept that assignment? Don't you think it might be a lie?"
Takeshi Kenta- Widu, don't mess around. It hasn't even been two hours. How did you find out so quickly?
Widu- I have my methods, Kenta, but back to the topic at hand. Answer me. Why did you accept it?
Takeshi Kenta- Widu, I've told you several times that thanks to my hearing, I can sense when someone is lying.
Widu- Yes, but even so, it could be a member of that group or a disciple.
Takeshi Kenta- Well, in that case... I'll kick their asses, ha ha ha.
Widu- Stop joking around, Kenta. I know you're physically stronger than that whole group and Shuen Kazanami, but if you face that girl, I can't guarantee you'll win, so please tell the guy to break the agreement.
Takeshi Kenta- Widu, I won't break the agreement. Besides, if what she said was true, it would affect me a lot.
Widu- Oh, if that's why, don't worry, because I can make the media think that you had nothing to do with it, that you didn't have to help them, and that you didn't disappear.
Takeshi Kenta- Widu, you're confused. I'm not a hero because of my image. I'm a hero who fights for people.
Widu- Well, but all those crimes are lies. I've never seen you cause a flood in a public place or anything like that, and that's because I'm your sign mate, and that's why I'm asking you to let me accompany you.
Takeshi Kenta- Widu... I ask you, how do you know the media isn't telling the truth? Or do you just believe me because I say so?
Widu- ...
Takeshi Kenta- I expected this. As for accompanying me, I refuse. Besides, it won't be dangerous for two signs to intervene, so see you later, Widu.
Taurus would leave without first paying for the coffee he had drunk.
Widu- "Idiot, I can tell when you're lying too."
A police officer approached Widu and asked for her ID because, according to the waiter, she and the guy outside were planning an attack. But Widu showed him her ID, and the police officer saw that she was a Pisces and asked her what she was doing there. She replied that she was talking to Taurus.
The police officer would understand and tell the waiter to know how to identify people next time. The waiter would apologize to Pisces, and she would accept it.
Widu- "I should change my purple hair color to something else, but what color would suit me best?"
End of flashback.
Elsewhere in the academy.
3:30 p.m.
Taurus would see some hooded people entering the academy, but there were only 10 of them, and he would notice that he could sense the presence of more than 500 people around them.
Takeshi Kenta- "They must be people putting on a show, but I never understood why they make it seem like there are more of them. Anyway, I shouldn't worry because, according to the guy, the werewolves would attack in the last fights, so I can relax."
Takeshi Kenta- "Wait, what's that smell? Somewhere in the academy, they're releasing sleeping gas, but where?"
Takeshi Kenta- "Shit, it's about to get in here."
Takeshi Kenta- Hey, everyone, don't breathe until I tell you. Sleeping gas is about to enter this room!
Everyone would listen to Taurus, but they still wouldn't be able to hold their breath and would fall asleep immediately.
Takeshi Kenta- "Shit, they attacked early. I have to warn people to get out."
Leaving the VIP area, he would see that everyone was asleep and that the entrance door was completely blocked by something viscous.
Tauro would hit whatever was blocking the entrance, but the thing became more solid with each blow he gave it.
3:50 p.m.
Takeshi Kenta- What the hell?
Assistant Principal Sakamoto- Don't waste your strength, Tauro. It's non-Newtonian fluid. More than a barrier, it's impossible to break.
Takeshi Kenta- Well, if it's a liquid, that means we can get everyone out of here.
Assistant Principal Sakamoto- I wish that were the case. When I tried to leave the room to go to the student area, there was a wall just like the one at the entrance in front of my door. A few minutes later, it opened, but the student area was completely blocked, and in both situations, it was impossible for me to get to the other side.
Takeshi Kenta- Well, help me move all these guys' bodies.
Vice Principal Sakamoto- Don't worry, Taurus, I have an ability that will make this easier.
Takeshi Kenta- Oh, really? What is it?
Vice Principal Sakamoto- It's called a space pocket. It allows me to store whatever I want as long as it doesn't exceed the limit, which is at least 1,000 people.
Takeshi Kenta- Oh... You're not a murderer, are you? If that's the case, let me beat you up.
Deputy Director Sakamoto-Accusing me like that hurts, Taurus.
Takeshi Kenta-Just kidding, relax haha... Or was it real?
Deputy Director Sakamoto-Ha... Ha.
Takeshi Kenta-No, seriously, relax, it's a joke haha.
Sakamoto would store everyone in his space pocket, and Taurus would tell him that there were more people in the VIP area to store as well.
After storing them, he would return to Taurus, and they would both see 20 hooded people approaching.
Takeshi Kenta- They may look like 20, but there are more than 250.
Assistant Principal Sakamoto-Taurus, you'll have to fight alone because my ability has two weaknesses.
Takeshi Kenta-Seriously, what are the weaknesses?
Assistant Principal Sakamoto-The first is that I'm running out of mana, and the second is that if I die, everyone in the pocket will be locked up forever.
Takeshi Kenta- "What the hell?"
Takeshi Kenta- Do you have any way to hide or something?
Assistant Director Sakamoto- Yes, but you'll be alone against all of them.
Takeshi Kenta- Do it. I'd rather fight alone than have people die.
Vice Principal Sakamoto- "All right, take this little ball. I'll be locked in there. It's impossible to break this, and only I can decide when to come out."
Sakamoto would get into the little ball, and Taurus would put it in his pocket.
Taurus Constellation- "You're lying again, saying you'd rather fight alone. That's still affecting your human mind."
Takeshi Kenta- "If affecting my mind means trying to save the people next to me, I'm willing to do it a million times."
Kenta would close his pinky and ring fingers, point his thumb backward, and put his middle finger behind his index finger.
Takeshi Kenta - TERRITORIAL EXPANSION!
