Persona 5 Phantom Parasite AU

Enter The King Of The Volleyball

Ren meets Kamoshida for the first time and it'll be more dangerous than expected.

Kawakami's Class, Shujin Academy

"Sigmund Freud's theory of personality is based on the idea that much of human behaviour is determined by forces outside awareness." Kawakami explained to the class. "The relation between the person and society is controlled by primitive urges buried deep within ourselves, forming the basis of the hidden self."

"Hidden personality, huh?" Morgana purred as he slowly crept from Ren's desk. "Seems interesting."

"Though to be clear I'm not talking about multiple personality disorders;" The teacher continued. "These personalities can be a different gender or a different age from you.

"I mean, think about it, gods and mythical creatures were primarily based on the human's imagery. If you actually saw one of those personalities with your own eyes, it might look like a monster."

Now this was indeed interesting, for both Morgana and Ren. Thus, they were already alert compared to the rest of the students.

"All these kinds of things are based off of the unconscious. The unconscious is a type of process, a way of constructing perception, memories and other kinds of cognition, not a portion of the mind."

"Yup. She's definitely talking about the metaverse." the cat replied.

"So, that's--" Then Kawakami looked at the clock above her. "Goodness, it's time for volleyball class. Oh, and don't forget, if you are suffering from any migranes, please visit the nurses' office."

And with that everyone was dismissed. 

"That was an interesting lecture." Morgana exclaimed. "Don't you think?"

"Yeah;" Ren replied. "Now I know how the Metaverse works."

"Knowing the metaverse is the first step to getting into METAS. The rest I'll explain later."

"Yeah, right now. I have volleyball class."

Inside the gym, Ren could already see that Ryuji was there, dressed in the same red and white gym clothes like he has. He was already slouching as if he hated playing volleyball.

Ren then saw an unnaturally tall man with long black unkempt hair and thick eyebrows. His jawline was broad and square. He wore a white sport T-shirt with a whistle and black sport trousers with double white stripes. He must be some coach. Ren thought.

The tall man was heading to where the adults were in the court. 

"Hey, it's Kamoshida!" said one adult.

"It's about time the King of The Volleyball came here!" said another, which made Ren ponder about this.

King of Volleyball? He must've been playing for a while now, right?

"Alright!" announced Kamoshida. "Let's get started with the game!"

The bespectacle boy along with several other boys were on the right of the court. It was the students versus the adults as one could probably tell. Several other girls were cheering along with Ann sitting in the corner.

Kamoshida was the first to serve, hitting Mishima by the arms one time and then another. As Ren saw this, his blood immediately began to boil. 

"Are you going to stand and watch?" The same voice from yesterday rang. No, but...Ren thought as he remember what happened when he stood up for a woman getting raped. I don't want to get caught by the adults again. 

"Is that how you really feel? Or do you wish to help others once more?" 

His thoughts were then interrupted by the sound of the volleyball hitting flesh. This caused a trigger warning as his body was racing towards the young man.  And then...

BAM!

In an instant, Ren smacked the ball towards Kamoshida's face, knocking him onto the ground. The students were amazed, the adults were speechless.

The bespectacle boy gazed at his hand. He did not know why he actually did it, but what he did know that this could lead him to trouble.

The tall chinned man furiously got up with his face jacked up, wale

But right when he could say something else, a flash of migraine hit him on the head. It did the same to Ryuji as well.

"I...I need to take a break...you guys, keep playing without me!" He grumbled as he stumbled towards the exit.

Silence still was all over the gym.

Little did Ren find out that the two that had migraines were actually infected. He had to do something.

Never in Ren's life--at least in his childhood--did he get into trouble, let alone go into the principal's office. He was a sweet innocent angel.

Now as a teen, he had always remember that he would be on the verge of getting into trouble--no matter what you do.

Few hours later, Ren was called to the principal's office. In the office, there sat the obese principal, Kamoshida with a cold sack, and a concerned Kawakami.

The bespectacle boy started sweating in fear, his heart sank just looking at the adults, as if looking at the adults from the authority wasn't this bad.

"Now, Mr. Amamiya, was it?" The principal said while clearing his throat. "Well, we--"

"THE LITTLE BRAT HIT ME ON THE FACE WITH THAT FRICKEN VOLLEYBALL!!" Kamoshida angrily yelled while jabbing his finger at the boy. "I SAY WE EXPELL HIM FOR GOOD!"

Ren was shaking like a leaf, not just on the inside but on the outside too. At this point, he was just wishing this nightmare would end soon.

"Wait a minute." Kawakami intervened at a perfect time. "I'm pretty sure it was just an accident, maybe he didn't know where the ball could hit."

"Well, Ren;" The principal started getting stern. "Did you or did you not do it on purpose."

"I..."Ren gulped. "It was an accident."

Silence broke out in the room.

"I see." the principal slumped back in his chair. "Well, then, I'll just have to overlook this. But in the mean time, try to follow the rules the best as you can."

Ren nodded. 

"Mr. Kamoshida, I suggest you get plenty rest for your own personal health."

"Fine;" he sighed heavily. "But you better make sure the volleyball team is still playing while I'm out, m'kay."

"I will."

And with that Kamoshida left the room, with his eyes turning yellow and reverting back to a normal color.

Huh? Well, that's one way of finding out he's a Pharasite. Ren thought as he saw this.
