(The Next Day, After School, Shujin Academy)
Class seemed to drone on for everyone that day; thankfully, the bell rang, signaling the end of a boring class; as Akira and Luna walk outside, they saw Ann and Kamoshida talking, which Kamoshida was talking about Akira, spreading more false rumors about him, but Ann looked like she didn't believe it and soon left; Akira and Luna walked outside the school only to be stopped by Ryuji.
"Yo", Ryuji greeted
"What's up", Akira greeted
"I wanted to talk about that castle from yesterday; I tried to tell myself that it was all just a dream... but I couldn't do it... I can't act like nothing happened", Ryuji stated "it's all connected to Kamoshida, after all I wanna find out what's up with that place, no matter what; so... you two in",
"Alright, were in", Akira said, he too wasn't fond about Kamoshida and the false rumors he was spreading about him
"I think that we should retrace our steps from yesterday", Ryuji stated "let's all go together and see if we can find it",
Agreeing with the plan, the trio walked around, retracing their steps... but their attempts were no castle but a school instead, leaving Ryuji confused
"Did we make a wrong turn, what do you two think", Ryuji asked confused
"Did you check your phone", Akira asked
"I already did that, nothing showed up", Ryuji said, a bit disappointed with their search
"Phone", Luna mumbled turning the boys attention to her, "Akira, were you using a navigation app on your phone, back then",
"Navigation app", Akira said confused looking at his phone
"Yeah, didn't it say stuff like return to the real world of something", Ryuji asked
"Can I see your phone real quick", Luna asked as Akira handed her his phone, as she turned it on... "Wait, you got this eyeball looking app too",
Akira looked at her confused as she let out a sigh, she then took out her phone and showed the app to everyone.
"Can't delete it", Akira asked making Luna nod her head.
"Wait what, what a weird app... hey, if this is a navigation app, let's try using it", Ryuji asked
"I don't know about this", Luna said with uneasiness in her voice
"Why, all were doing is startin' an app", Ryuji stated as he pushed a button on Akira's phone.
"Kamoshida... Shujin Academy... Pervert... Castle... Beginning navigation"
"There we go", Ryuji said until something weird happened and the school turned into a castle.
(Metaverse, Kamoshida's Castle)
"Look, it's the castle from yesterday, we made it back; that means... what happened yesterday was real too; whoa, your clothes", Ryuji asked as Akira and Luna looked at themselves, they were now wearing the different clothing they wore before
"That happened last time too, huh, what's with those outfits", Ryuji asked in confusion
"Not bad", Akira stated
"You LIKE it, what's going on here", Ryuji asked confused
"Hey", Morgana shouted as he ran over to the trio, "Stop making a commotion",
"You", Ryuji said confused
"The shadows started acting up, so I came here wondering what it could be...", Morgana explained with a sigh, "to think you three would come back to the entrance when you barely managed to escape",
"What is this place... is it the school", Ryuji asked
"That's right", Morgana stated
"But it's a castle", Ryuji said confused
"The castle IS the school... but only to this castle's ruler", Morgana explained
"The castle's ruler", Ryuji said, more confused than ever
"I think you called him Kamoshida", Morgana said, "it's how his distorted heart views the school",
"Explain it in a way that makes sense", Ryuji asked confused
"I shouldn't have expected a moron to get it", Morgana mumbled slightly annoyed
"Wha'd you say", Ryuji yelled angrily, but was interrupted by screaming, "What was that",
"It must be the prisoners held captive here", Morgana stated
"What", Luna said in shock as more screams filled their ears
"Hey monster cat", Ryuji said quickly
"It's Morgana", Morgana said angrily
"Do you know where those voices are coming from", Ryuji asked
"If you want me to, I can guide you there", Morgana said "but only if he comes with us",
"Let's go", Akira said
"It's settled then", Morgana said with a smile
"For real... thanks, man", Ryuji said with a smile as well
"Alright, let's do this, follow me", Morgana said as the trio followed Morgana back inside Kamoshida's Palace
