Jin Skyward's Soliloquy

...

It's been a few hours and Team Vali had left. They—or Vali, got an earful from Lavinia, and I also gave him some warnings. He initially wasn't that happy about it, but... I had to make him face reality. Even if he did go over there, and had [Empireo Juggernaut Overdrive] that wouldn't be enough.

Just to be safe, I bound them to this universe, so they couldn't travel to any other one. They can still travel to different dimensions, but that's the extent of it. When I deem him and his team ready, I will remove it.

"Vaa-kun is stupid...!" Nia said beside me in a huff.

She was still quite upset. She supported Vali for most of his decisions, even him getting stronger—stronger than anyone alive, but she knew that this would promptly end his life if he did try to go over there, that's why she was so angry.

"He'll learn, but he was sulking and pretty mad about it when they left," I said to her. "Just let him cool off, and he'll be the same Vali again in a few days."

"Mmm..."

Kuoh Academy

...

It was morning, and before the start of classes. Also, a few days have passed since the meeting in the Underworld. I also had all my Electa deliver the, what I dubbed (for now) the 'Hyperbolic Regenerative Chamber' to the alliances. I've heard from multiple people that all types of warriors are using them on a daily basis and are quickly growing stronger.

I, along with Ravel and the Phenex Clan have been providing the rest of the alliance with Phenex Tears and Slime Pills to help with healing them too. At first many were confused by this brand-new training facility. However, they were told a lie about preparing their warriors for any and all attacks from the Khaos Brigade. Following that, they welcomed it.

However, few people know the real reason. We didn't want to create a mass panic about an impending invasion, so only the gods and higher-ups in each faction and alliance we were in knew about it. However, some of them did not take the news well, and had apparently gone into overdrive in preparing.

I was the only one in the classroom. I had arrived pretty early in the day and honestly... the only one I saw in the school was both Sona and Tsubaki—

Open~ Close~

Hearing the door to my classroom open and close, I turned to see who it was, but feeling their aura, I already knew...

"Oh, hey, finished with whatever you had to do?" I asked.

"You provided us with those Android fairies, of course our work would be finished quite early... even before the rest of the peerage arrived," said Sona as she sat at her desk.

However, Tsubaki came over to me and started to massage my shoulders. Sona glanced at us from the corner of her eyes, but we mostly ignored her.

"Thanks..." I muttered.

"It's no problem, Aaron," replied Tsubaki.

"I didn't know you were skilled at this, especially when you started doing them years ago."

"I've practiced a few times on President Sona, and a few others in the peerage and goddesses, so I'm quite confident in doing this these days," she said as she continued to massage my shoulders.
