Strangely, these possessed individuals weren't as vicious as the ones the Akumas had been fighting in their duels. It was as though they still had a sliver of their consciousness.
Most people were directed to the arena, while some fled to their homes, and every Supreme Academy student was required to fight, while it was optional for Alpha Academy students.
Scar, though, instead of fighting, focused on something else. If Purple's predictions were correct, he didn't have to stay in the arena, and this was the perfect opportunity to take care of Joel.
With those under V's influence roaming the streets, he could kill Joel and pin it on them. Perfect plan. He wouldn't even need to worry about the Epic Competition; fake an injury and stay out of it entirely.
But of course, luck wasn't on his side. Joel had disappeared completely. Scar searched street after street and asked everyone. Nothing. No one had seen him. Not that luck was favoring anyone else either.
