After akuma got suspended the school decided to make a field trip which they rarely ever do everyone was exiting that they where going on a Field trip to Kyoto in Japan (tame academy s location is in aichi toyohashi) everyone was very exited although akira unfazed as ever didn't care and thought it was a waste of time and energy but manabu kokuu and Izuna had persisted because finally can rest after akuma's suspension akira had reluctantly agreed and the field trip was in 5 days and they will be in kyoto for a week thats a day before akuma got suspension time is up so they need to enjoy it izuna said happy as ever .I just wanna go to smuggle some food to go home with kokuu said chuckling. I just wanna see some historical landmarks manabu said .kokuu snores mocking manabu saying boooring. Izuna and the others finally convince Akira to come Along of course Akira just wanted to find out about the two spys there are 1600 students in tame academy they will all be split into groups there are 6 years of school in tame academy unlike most highschools so they where all split into groups and each group well its a uneven amount each group will have at least 4- 7 students when akira had heard about it he knew that the chance of him being with izuna manabu kokuu are very very low there is a decent chance he will be with people in his year the team pairs came in and he was paired with sora shin she was the same year as akira and same grade class as he was she was a very shy girl she doesn't talk much she usually goes to the library and read.she is technically Invisible to most around her although she is one of the most smartest in grade d. Another person duka kage he has the second best score in the class he is in the same year as akira and he is one of the spys that akuma has although akira is unaware of that fact . Another person kaito shin he is in his third year at tame academy he is in grade b he is very bright in studies and pretty decent at sports . Another person yami shimizu he is a year 5 . So when the field trip day arrives they enter the bus and they needed a LOT of buses and the people who are in groups will have to all live in the same dorm in kyoto for the field trip when sora heard about this she was having a anxiety attack a girl named mika tsukiko comfort her so the principal decided to put mika in Akira's group to keep sora safe and mika tsukiko was the same year as akira and same grade class she is the top scorer in grade d she hates kokuu cause kokuu had played a couple of pranks on her in middle school she is a little arrogant and anti social to many others some refer to her almost as a queen with a heart of stone so on the bus everyone was chit chatting and Akira was wondering who the spys where but of course he couldn't think so he decided to put his head phones on and rest although he knew since he hangs out with kokuu mika and him may go on on the wrong foot.

The day of the field trip to Kyoto arrived, and the excitement was palpable. Students chatted animatedly as they boarded the buses, their spirits high after the recent turmoil with Akuma. The promise of exploring historical landmarks and taking a break from the intense environment of Tame Academy was a welcome change.

Akira, Manabu, Kokuu, and Izuna boarded separate buses, each heading to their respective groups. Akira found himself surrounded by unfamiliar faces, save for Sora Shin, Duka Kage, Kaito Shin, Yami Shimizu, and the recently added Mika Tsukiko.

As the bus rumbled to life, Akira put on his headphones, blocking out the noise and retreating into his thoughts. He knew he needed to be cautious, especially since Akuma’s influence still lingered in the shadows. Finding the spies would be his top priority during this trip.

Sora sat quietly, her hands trembling slightly. Mika, noticing her discomfort, leaned over to offer reassurance. "You'll be fine," she said softly. "Just stick with me."

Duka, sitting across from them, observed Akira with a keen eye. He was one of Akuma’s spies, tasked with keeping an eye on Akira and reporting back any suspicious activities. Duka hid his true intentions behind a friendly facade, engaging in casual conversation with the others.

Kaito and Yami, both unaware of the deeper tensions, chatted about their plans for the trip. Kaito was excited to visit the historical sites, while Yami expressed interest in exploring Kyoto’s cultural aspects.

"Do you have any particular places you want to visit, Akira?" Kaito asked, trying to include him in the conversation.

Akira pulled off his headphones, giving Kaito a blank stare. "Not really," he replied curtly before putting his headphones back on.

The bus ride to Kyoto was long, and as the hours passed, the students gradually fell into a comfortable silence. Upon arrival, they were divided into dorm groups. Akira’s group, now including Mika, found themselves in a cozy, traditional Japanese house.

As they settled in, the atmosphere was tense. Mika’s disdain for Kokuu was evident, and Akira’s apathy didn’t help ease the tension. Sora, still anxious, stayed close to Mika, while Duka continued to observe everyone with a calculating gaze.

"We should make the most of this trip," Kaito suggested, trying to lighten the mood. "Let’s plan our days carefully so we can see as much as possible."

"I agree," Yami added. "It’s a rare opportunity, and we should take full advantage of it."

Mika nodded, her expression softening slightly. "We should stick together, especially with so many of us here. It’ll be safer and more enjoyable."

Akira, still focused on his mission, decided to use this time to gather more information on the spies. He knew that blending in and participating in the group activities would help him observe Duka and the others more closely.

The first few days in Kyoto were a mix of sightseeing and subtle tension. Akira stayed vigilant, keeping an eye on Duka and trying to gauge his intentions. The group visited temples, museums, and historical landmarks, each location providing a perfect backdrop for Akira to observe his companions.

One evening, as the group returned to their dorm after a long day of exploration, Akira noticed Duka sneaking away from the group. Sensing an opportunity, Akira quietly followed him, making sure to stay out of sight.

Duka made his way to a secluded area behind the dorms, where he pulled out a small notebook and began writing. Akira, hiding behind a tree, strained to hear any clues.

"I need to report this to Akuma," Duka muttered to himself, unaware of Akira’s presence. "He’ll want to know about the group’s dynamics and any weaknesses."

Satisfied with what he had heard, Akira slipped back into the dorm before Duka could notice his absence. He needed to find a way to use this information to his advantage and finally expose Duka as one of Akuma’s spies.

Back in the dorm, Akira gathered Manabu, Kokuu, and Izuna in a quiet corner. He relayed what he had discovered, and they immediately began formulating a plan.

"We need to catch him in the act," Manabu suggested. "If we can get proof of him communicating with Akuma, we can expose him."

Kokuu, ever the prankster, grinned. "I can set up a trap. We’ll make it look like we’ve found something important, and when he tries to report it, we’ll catch him red-handed."

Izuna nodded in agreement. "We need to act fast. We don’t know when Akuma’s suspension will end, and we can’t let Duka get away with this."

Over the next few days, they subtly set their plan into motion. Kokuu planted fake evidence in their dorm room, making it appear as though they had discovered critical information about Akuma’s operations. They then made sure Duka overheard a conversation about their “discovery,” knowing he would take the bait.

Sure enough, one night, Duka sneaked into their dorm room, searching for the planted evidence. As he rifled through their belongings, Akira and his friends burst in, catching him in the act.

"Duka, what are you doing?" Akira demanded, feigning surprise.

Duka froze, knowing he had been caught. He tried to play it off. "I... I was just looking for something I misplaced."

"Don’t lie," Manabu said, stepping forward. "We know you’re working for Akuma. We heard you talking to yourself the other night."

Duka’s face paled, realizing the extent of their trap. "You can’t prove anything," he stammered.

"Oh, we can," Kokuu said, holding up a small recorder. "We recorded everything. You’re done, Duka."

Realizing he had no way out, Duka finally confessed. "Fine, yes, I was reporting to Akuma. But you’ll never stop him. He’s too powerful."

"We’ll see about that," Izuna said, determined.

With the evidence they had gathered, they went to the principal, who had accompanied them on the trip. The principal, already aware of Akuma’s machinations, took their findings seriously.

"Duka Kage, you are suspended immediately for the remainder of the trip," the principal declared. "We will deal with your expulsion when we return to Tame Academy."

As Duka was escorted away, Akira and his friends felt a sense of accomplishment. They had successfully exposed one of Akuma’s spies, and with each victory, they grew closer to dismantling his network entire

With Duka suspended, the rest of the trip proceeded more smoothly. The group continued to explore Kyoto, taking in the rich history and culture. Akira, though still focused on his mission, began to appreciate the camaraderie and support of his friends.

Mika, slowly warming up to the group, started to show a softer side. She even managed to find common ground with Kokuu, their past animosities giving way to a tentative friendship.

Sora, under Mika’s protective wing, grew more confident and began to participate more actively in group activities. Akira noticed the change and felt a strange sense of satisfaction, though he couldn’t fully understand why.

As the trip neared its end, Akira and his friends gathered one evening to reflect on their experiences. They sat around a small fire, the crackling flames casting warm light on their faces.

"We’ve come a long way," Manabu said, breaking the silence. "We’ve faced a lot of challenges, but we’ve also grown stronger because of them."

Izuna nodded, smiling. "We make a good team. And we’ve proven that we can stand up to Akuma and his spies."

Kokuu chuckled. "Yeah, we’re pretty awesome. But let’s not get too comfortable. We still have a lot of work to do when we get back."

Akira listened quietly, feeling a strange mix of emotions. Despite his initial reluctance, he had come to value the bond he shared with his friends. They had faced adversity together and emerged stronger, and he knew they would continue to fight for what was right.

As they sat around the fire, a sense of determination settled over them. They knew that their battle against Akuma was far from over, but they also knew that they had the strength and unity to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Together, they would continue to unravel the shadows that plagued Tame Academy, determined to protect their school and each other from the darkness that threatened to consume them.
