Interrogation (PT-1)

Trey woke up the next morning and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, while he was in the middle of his shower his phone started ringing. He reached for it and poked his head out, it was an unknown number.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Trey it's me, Lord Azazel said that he would like to meet you tonight. My subordinates and I were called back since our mission was completed. I left someone I trust to let me know when Asia, the sacred gear holder, arrives. I'll let you know when that happens, for now just pretend that you don't know anything about me. We've wiped ourselves from everyone in Kouh Town and replaced their memories. Since the people of the town had so many memories about Issie it would have been nearly impossible to erase him, so we made everyone think that he was stabbed 2 days ago by an unknown suspect."

Trey pretended to sound surprised? "Is it really that easy for you to do that? Last night you mentioned it but I never thought you would be able to alter everyone's memory in one night. How is that even possible?"

"It's difficult to explain, but like we agreed last night, I casted a spell on the feather so that you wouldn't be affected by any magic that would screw with your mind so you don't have to worry. I'll see you tonight, love you."

"You can't just leave me hanging like this, mind alterations is some scary shi….." Before Trey could finish he noticed that the call had been ended.

Once he had changed he grabbed the feather necklace and looked at it, he couldn't feel or see anything that changed but Raynare didn't really have a reason to lie. 'Looks like this has become my lucky charm, with this I won't have to worry about being brainwashed or something.'

He went to the kitchen and made a toast when his mother got out of the room and looked at him concerned, "Trey did something happen on Saturday?"

He shook his head and looked at Sarah," No mom, why do you ask?"

"Well you spent your whole day in your room yesterday, I wanted to ask if you wanted to go out somewhere as a family but your father said that you needed your space."

'Kay then, so that's the story about my day yesterday.'

He smiled and scratched his head, "I was feeling a bit stressed with some school things mom, sorry if I worried you, but everything's fine now."

She gave him one last look and nodded, "Okay, but if anything happens let me and your father know alright?"

He nodded and grabbed his food and backpack, "Alright mom I will, now if you excuse me I don't wanna be late."

When he was on his way to school he felt that someone was looking at him. The gaze was coming from behind him, he pretended not to notice and continued walking. Using the glass reflection from one of the stores he found that Koneko was tailing him.

'Damit, looks like I'm still a primary suspect. I'm not that surprised though, I mean I did appear the same day that Raynare did. Kiba and I met in that gang hideout not long after I moved here. Then there's also the fact that they found me outside the night that I accidentally killed Issei. The thing is that I was supposed to have Hanzo start working on Malty this morning..... Hmm how should I do this.'

He entered one of the stores and bought a bag of chips, after walking a few blocks he entered an alleyway that had a large garbage container. He threw away the bag of chips and summoned Hanzo.

"I'm being followed, stay here another 3 minutes before you head towards the forest."

The grandmaster quickly materialized and looked at his surroundings, he was about to stand up but he heard his master's whisper and stayed put.

Since his task was completed without being found out he let out a relieved breath and continued walking towards school.

He entered school without a problem until he found Tsubaki waiting at the entrance of his class. Trey gave her a short nod and was about to enter class until he heard his name. "Trey, the president would like to see you"

At that moment he paused, his mind was moving a mile a minute, 'Shit Raynare erased herself from our memories and altered them. Does that mean that there was never a video of us dancing? If there wasn't then that means I never had that second meeting with Souna."

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Tsubaki with a confused expression "Did I do something wrong?"

She kept a blank expression as she responded, "The president didn't go into depth, she wants to see you, that's all I know."

He nodded and looked at the supplies that he had in his hands, "Umm alright let me just put my things on my desk."

Tsubaki gave a short nod and continued waiting at the entrance of the door.

He put his things down and looked at Katase who smiled at him.

'Bingo'

He smiled back and got closer to her, "Hey Katase, would you want to go dancing sometime this week?"

She looked at him with a surprised expression, after a small pause she shook her head, "That sounds like fun, but I don't know you that well. Once we get to know each other better than I would love to."

Trey pretended to act a bit down and gave a short nod, "Oh, I understand, I respect your way of thinking. Hopefully, you don't think any less of me for asking so suddenly."

Katase shook her head and smiled, "Not at all, I actually appreciate your offer, it's just not the right time."

He gave ger a thumbs up and looked at the entrance "Well then that means I still have a chance haha, I'm going to be gone for a bit since the vice president came looking for me."

She looked at him with a confused expression, "Really? What did you do?"

Trey shrugged and sighed, "To be honest I have no idea, but just do me a favor and let me see your notes later kay?"

Katase nodded and returned his thumbs-up, "Sure, good luck, hope there's nothing wrong."

'Kay then looks like the meeting never happened, Katase didn't seem to remember the video otherwise she would have blushed like crazy. She also seemed to not have remembered when Tsubaki picked me up from class last time. Just hope that I don't mess up.'

He walked back to Tsubaki who was waiting, "I'm ready."

She gave a short nod and led him to the Student Council office where once again Souna was sitting as she looked through paperwork.

'Is she always working or is it all just to look cooler?'

"Mr. Lane, we meet again."

He nodded and sighed "Yeah, I still remember the short lecture you gave me after telling me that you didn't like the fact that I was going to start school. I'm a man of my word, I've kept myself out of trouble and completed all the tasks that my teachers required from me. So why was I called here? It's just that I got the impression that you didn't want to talk to me last time."

Souna nodded and closed the folder in her hand, "That might be true but after a student of your class was killed, I was asked to meet with people and find out how they were coping."

He looked at her and scratched his head, "Well since I didn't know him for long I wasn't really affected. Don't get me wrong I feel bad for Issei but it's nothing serious. I would definitely look after those two that were always around him though. They really seem like they need help. There's something I'm curious about though, isn't talking to the students about this topic the job of a counselor? I'm not trying to sound rude or anything but I just want to make sure that the students that need help get the help that they need."

She smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm educated on the matter of counseling those who need help. I just need you all, to be honest with me and tell me the truth."

While Souna was talking she stared straight at his eyes and they glowed red. '

'Oh shit, right this is the part which I act like an idiot just like what Issei's parents did.'

He slightly tilted his head and made his face give out an empty expression, "The truth?"

Souna smiled and nodded "That's right, what is your relationship with Yuma Amano?"

"Yuma….Amano? I don't know anyone with that name."

Souna looked surprised and walked closer to him, "Do you have anything to do with a white armored man?"

"White Armor? I saw a movie of a man with white armor last week."

She sighed and rephrased her question," Do you have a sacred gear? Where you the one who killed the kid last night?"

"Kill ? Sacred gear? What is that?"

She came even closer, "What were you doing last night?"

"Last night? I stayed in my room studying and playing games on my computer"

Souna nodded and stepped back, he felt a bit more relaxed until she suddenly walked up to him again."

Luckily he was able to keep his form and not react to her sudden movement, 'Dang this little devil.'

"Have you ever played chess?"

'Seriously woman??? Are you that much of a sore loser? Hurry up and end this shit.'

"Played Chess? No, I've only seen videos."

She looked unhappy, after mumbling a few things she sighed and looked at him, "Go back to your class, this counseling session is over. You don't need any help so forget about everything we talked about."

"Forget?"

He robotically began moving to the door and he continued like that until he was on his seat. It made the others look at him like he was stupid but he had to make sure to keep appearances in case Souna asked them later. She had proven to be quite the untrustful person so he had to carefully plan things. He was still not sure if he had tricked her with his acting based on Issei's parents or if she had just pretended and played along so that she could plan something when he lowered his guard.

Trey attended the rest of his classes while he thought about his meeting with Azazel. He had never seen anyone by that name in the anime so he was playing a dangerous game. He had the teleport crystals so he could get away a total of 3 times but the danger would still be there."

The lunch bell rang and interrupted his thinking, he sighed and began gathering his things to leave but he heard someone's voice which made his blood run cold

"Hey Trey, do you think we could spend our lunch break together? I heard that you were looking at some clubs and there's a club I would like you to visit."

'Fuck, I've been made."
