Eight months later......

Finally.

The day I have been waiting for since I have returned to this Sinnoh-forsaken land has come.

Graduation.

Of course I wasn't going to Aldera's graduation ceremony. I had long since cut ties with them after the day Bakugo and Izuku suicide-baited me, as that was the last straw. And after the Sludge-villain fiasco, I have long since vacated the Yagi household and broke up my camp before I went to Kibo ni Niji to stay at the castle and islands full time where everyone else was waiting for me (apparently Charm had alerted Mother Cogita that I was transferring there ahead of schedule). They were surprised I showed up sooner than planned, but after explaining things they just accepted it even though they were all quite enraged at the reason why I left the mainland sooner.

So during those ten months, I had caught myself up to date with my gang members, taken missions from the Defense Ministry and Interpol (where Zinnia and I caught each other up and became an inseparable team), and spent time with my Pokemon and my other girlfriends.

While I was delegating positions to my gang members (aka the "knights" of the castle), I gave the honor of being the new Shadow Triad to Maki Harukawa, Mukuro Ikusaba, and Peko Pekoyama. Their expertise as killers and with the occasional bodyguard job gave them right amount of experience needed to be my personal bodyguards.

As for the new Seven Sages, I have chosen Hajime Hinata (Makoto recommended him as his knowledge on law and criminal justice is only matched by the infamous Kirigiri detectives), Korekiyo Shinguji (his knowledge as an anthropologist is quite an asset to the team despite his... oddities), Ishimaru Kiyotaka (despite his tendencies to be a stickler for the rules, he still has his grandfather's leadership skills, and he wanted to make it up to me for getting his grandfather out of trouble with that whole scandal thing, despite my telling him that he doesn't owe me anything), Kokichi Ouma (he may be immature most of the time but he's got the leadership skills to back him up, especially as the head of DICE), Mondo Oowada (despite being the new gang leader of the Crazy Diamonds, he still lets Daiya maintain most of the leadership as he feels he's not quite ready to lead the gang on his own, so with him being a Sage, it will better prepare him for that role when his brother officially retires), Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu (don't let that cherubic face fool you; he's the heir to the Kuzuryu syndicate for a reason and you don't wanna mess with him or his sister who acts as his substitute when he can't attend the meetings due to his obligations to the yakuza clan), and Sonia Nevermind (despite her naivete, she's still the new rising queen of the Novoselic empire and the bride to-be to Lelouch vi Brittania of the reformed Brittanian empire, and her leadership skills are only matched by her fellow peers).

As for who is my personal attendants (like my namesake Natural Harmonia had two "sisters" by the name of Anthea and Concordia), that position was delegated to Kirumi Tojo and Chisa Yukizome, both of them well-versed in ass-kicking and keeping me in line and from making too big mistakes. They aren't the Ultimate Maid and Ultimate Housekeeper for nothing, mind you. Hell, with or without Nen, they can steamroll any Quirkie into the ground with just their two hands alone.

Cogita was given the title of the royal advisor, as I owe her at least that much (and infinitely more) for all that she has taught me, even before my Hunter Exam. Volo was undecided on what he wanted to be as part of the royal court. At one point, before I stopped him from making the bad decision of wiping Hisui out in favor of a new world (long story for another time), he probably would have went for King or Prince, but after that event at Mount Coronet, he seemed to be... unsure. Indecisive. He was scared that whatever high-end title I give him, he would end up abusing it's power, Giratina's partner or not. I felt that was a reasonable concern, so I told him whenever he decided he can tell me and we can hammer out the details. In the meantime, he manages the sales and imports/exports of merchandise and "grey market goods" going on and off the island. Seems like the old habits of being a Gingko Guild merchant is a die-hard type. Even if he was a bit of a slacker on the job back in Hisui and it caused Old Man Ginter to complain a lot. Even so, he's pretty good at managing the sales and profits. Perhaps being the treasurer of the court fits him best after all. At least Ginter is complaining less and Tulli can relax more now as they both still work as the merchants of the islands.
