The Second Coming of the Messiah

Yū couldn't stop himself from letting out a sigh as he looked at himself in the mirror before school.

It was strange for him to think that he could no longer be classified as human now, especially given just how human he still looked.

But he had looked again this morning and sure enough, he could feel his authorities.

Shaking his head, he pushed those thoughts out of his mind and focused on getting ready for school, he may not have really talked to anyone there yet but he was going to have a word with that group that included the European girl, they had mentioned the name Sasha Dejanstahl Voban the previous day and given how Sayanomiya-san had mentioned that he was the most powerful Campione… Well, it didn't take a genius to figure out that one of that group was the other Campione of Japan and he actually was a genius.

He idly wondered how the other Campione would react to him, after all, a meeting between two kings wasn't an everyday occurrence… especially when they live in the same city.

That was what was really making him curious, would this other Campione consider him a threat to his rule and try to eliminate him, or will they accept peaceful co-existence until he returned to Inaba?

Because he was going to return to Inaba when he finished his education, that was one certainty in his life.

And so with that thought currently in his mind, he proceeded to perform his morning rituals and prepare himself for school and his inevitable confrontation with the other Campione.

Godou Kusanagi didn't know what he was going to do.

It hadn't been that long since he had fought Voban and yet ANOTHER Campione was now in Tokyo… and he was apparently going to the same school he was!

"Onii-chan! Stop struggling!" he couldn't stop tears from falling from his eyes as his little sister Shizuka attempted to drag him to school.

Normally he would've left long before her in order to wake up Erica but with another Campione attending the school, all he could think of doing was avoiding the establishment with all his might.

It was unfortunate that his might wasn't enough to overcome his little sister's iron will.

"But I don't want to go anymore!" he practically cried out, he didn't know what this other Campione was like but so far he had met two… the first tried to cut him to pieces for fun and the other tried to kidnap his friend and then nearly levelled a park hunting him down.

So he most certainly did not have good memories of dealing with the other kings, that much was for certain.

And he really didn't want to risk destroying the school and killing the entire student body just because he got into a fight that was closer to the scale of a natural disaster than a karate match.

After all, Campione were Godslayers and were almost always so far beyond human limits that any fight against them was a guaranteed victory in the king's favour.

He was also pretty sure that he was the only one that wasn't that far beyond a knight given the restrictions on his authorities, which meant that he was actually better off against stronger opponents than weak ones.

It also didn't help that he knew nothing about this other Campione, so it was entirely possible that not one of his authorities would be suitable in a fight against him… he had already seen just how powerless the Stallion had been against Voban when the man had simply eaten the authority like it was a rice cake.

So he had no idea if this grey haired teen would have a similar ability.

Honestly the only authorities he knew would work for certain were the Ram and Warrior… he could probably aim the Boar at something else but that was a far more destructive ability than he wanted to use.

"Onii-chan! Stop being such a baby and just come to school already!" the angry glare Shizuka was giving him was enough to make him finally submit to the younger girl.

He may have fought Gods and Campione, he may have faced down a demonic sword that had transformed into a gigantic lion and caused massive amounts of property damage to world famous tourist sites… but Kusanagi Godou would always fear his sister.

"Good boy," he found himself falling even further into depression as she addressed him in the same manner she would a dog… dammit! Why did she always have to make him feel so low?

And so he simply tried to prepare himself for the most harrowing day of his life.

After all, he'd never encountered any foes in school before and had no idea just how much chaos would be sown today.

Yū stretched out as class ended and lunch began.

Sure he knew he probably should get to know some of his classmates today but the fact of the matter was that dealing with his fellow king was more important.

It was one of the reasons why he made a couple of extra bento's for today.

He just hoped the other Campione would take it as the peace offering it was and not an attempt to poison him.

He hadn't had any interaction with them so he had no idea how they would react to his attempts, sure he was anticipating that the rather plain looking male that had been around the European Blonde was the Campione, the way she flirted with him and the fact she wasn't native gave him the impression that she wasn't the Campione herself.

And beyond that, why would a European king come to school in Japan?

The other girl that seemed to be in the know was also clearly subservient to the boy, even if that subservience was in the same manner that Chie had been subservient to him… in other words, she chose to follow him because she was comfortable doing so.

That was probably the main reason he was as willing to risk the confrontation as he was, for that girl to be subservient in that particular manner probably meant that the boy was at least a decent enough person.

Of course he could just be misreading the brunette's actions but he doubted that.

And so he gathered the bento's he prepared the previous night and made his way out of the classroom and towards the roof.

Upon arriving he was greeted to the sight of the area being completely empty, obviously he had been the first person to arrive and so without any hesitation, he took a seat somewhere that could be easily seen by those leaving the stairwell and going to the roof.

Time passed as others proceeded to appear in a relatively slow trickle, that is until the group he had been waiting on arrived.

He noted that the blonde that seemed to attach herself to the teenage boy gave him a wary look, one that seemed more in tune with Naoto when she was assessing a threat than anything else, so he assumed she was trying to determine what he was doing there today.

The dark haired brunette looked at him with a hint of fear in her features, though nowhere near as all consuming as yesterday's reaction to him.

It was the dark haired boy that truly caught his attention. The way he looked so nervous upon seeing him, the way he seemed to be contemplating running away right there and then… it wasn't the sort of reaction he had expected from him.

Noting that the younger girl that had been with them yesterday was nowhere to be seen, he decided the best course of action was to wave the other group over and hope that his peace offering would be accepted.
