Den of Monsters: 3rd Year [On Pause]

Y3 Vol 2: Good Morning, Dr.Senku

(Ishigami Senku's POV)

For as long as i've been in this school, i have always avoided trouble and meddling with others for no reason, i chose that route because frankly...It's childish to do so.

But as i remained neutral for most of my time, i made a list of predictions, the first of which being Sakayanagi and class A's downfall, while i am not entirely entertained by such a thing, it's quite inevitable due to the difference in scale of powers.

Lelouch has the most physical aces, Karma has the easiest people to handle and Ayanokoji has his little ace in the hole girlfriend and that unpredictable snake Yuuichi. On the other hand, Sakayanagi has good unity and also some decent tools but there's a certain issue.

That issue being Johan, it really didn't take much for me to figure out who was on our side and who was on his. Kamuro, Shigeru and Morimiya being the most prominent, while ones like Ai Morishita are more in line to obey when intimidated.

The idea of being ratted out didn't terrify me as much as the idea of them pushing themselves down the abyss, i couldn't care less about this school's petty exams but human lives aren't so worthless as to be thrown away like that.

In any case, the second prediction for me was my hand getting twisted, i already know of the single best way to do it and while i can simply just ignore it and live life casually, a petty part of me wants to play along with the game of whoever it is that wants to tick me.

It very conveniently falls into my third prediction which entails...An eventual bomb that will cause a gap between us all that can't be mended by a simple sorry or a party. I don't know how but it's something that i know will happen, as for to which of us it will be?...Only time shall tell.

"Ugh...Can't you hurry up already?, with your slow pace we'll be in class by the time we graduate!!" i called out to a certain girl as i stood in the middle of her room, that girl being Sakayanagi who has gracefully tasked me with walking her to school today.

"Have some shame for once, little scientist!" she yelled back as i sighed to myself and stood up.

I went to her desk and opened it, rummaging through a few of her belongings, i found the thing i was looking for...The little jailbreak device.

I grabbed it and plugged it into my phone as i sat down on the bed and my phone restarted, a simple minute of waiting and now the new software was working without any problems.

I opened Google immediately and was met with a peculiar news headline that caught my interest:

'Today marks the grand opening of the Imperial Express, the largest and most extravagant train in the history of mankind, designed to travel all around the North American continent starting from the far south all the way to the far north on a full week journey!'

Below it is an image attached of the prime minister and what looks to be a couple of the royal family all standing before the doors of the gigantic train.

I have to give it to those Britannian assholes, they sure know how to poke the right spots in my brain, i am now even more curious as to who designed the railway system so that it doesn't collapse, how does the engine work? how many people can it take aboard it? What sort of luxury awaits within something like that? and also...Who's innovation is this?

So many questions but no one to answer them...Sad. I guess i should focus on my search more, previously i have tried to look up things about Johan but as expected, majority of things only led me to either school news or dead ends.
