"I will take care of it," Mitsuru nodded at the blue haired male.

"From the looks of things, many students of high school are in the same college, so..." he trailed off. "Me walking around without an explanation will surely cause a panic."

"I understand," Mitsuru said.

"What happened exactly?" Minato asked. "I mean, the day I died. What happened? Who else knows?"

"We told your other friends that you slipped into a coma," Yukari replied. "We were still hoping that you would return some day again so we kept the death a secret from most of them."

"Yeah..." Junpei scratched the back of his head. "Um, you actually did slip into a coma and then passed away a few days later..." the capped male continued. "The other persona users... they know since they caught Hamu-tan yelling a couple of times."

"You didn't tell them, right?" Minato gulped. "Besides them, right?"

"No..." Akihiko said slowly. "We told no one..."

"That's good," Minato breathed out. "An announcement is in order then, I guess..."

"Indeed," Mitsuru gracefully walked away. "I'll see you there," with that, she left.

Minato released another deep sigh. "Well, first day in college..." he looked back to Elizabeth who was bouncing in joy. "Let's get going then.." this all felt so nostalgic to Minato, walking along with his friends to school. Junpei and Minato engaged in another battle of wits which resulted in a few ungentlemanly jokes which caused Yukari to lash out and Fuuka to blush. Akihiko came between them to stop Yukari from slapping Junpei who ended up teasing her once again.

However, this time, they had a few more people added to the mix.

Yosuke joined in the battle of wits and laughed along at the jokes and snark.

Souji rolled his eyes and played the guardian along with Akihiko.

Elizabeth didn't get a whole lot of what was going on, but the yelling surely added a few more words into her rather lacking personal dictionary.

...

Minato pulled on his hood and quickly followed Junpei into the principle's office as the rest went ahead, giving Elizabeth a tour of the college. The platinum blonde female was ecstatic, not minding the attention she was getting from the male student body.

"Hey!" Akihiko snapped at a couple of gawking students. "She's new here. Get lost!" all of them knew the badass boxing champion from high school and so they quickly scurried away.

Yukari sighed. "Elizabeth," she warned. "You might wanna stay with a friend at all times..."

"Oh I shall," Elizabeth nodded. "I shall remain with Minato-kun, at all times."

"Hahaha," Hamuko laughed. "Good choice, he'll keep you safe for sure."

"That is the auditorium," Aigis explained and moments later, the PA system blared, ordering everyone to move into the auditorium.

"Well," Souji said. "Seems like senpai made his way to the back, let's go, yeah?" the rest nodded and went aside.

...

"This is so freaking weird," Minato pulled out his hood and panted. "I got butterflies in my stomach!"

"Dude, chill out!" Junpei calmed him down. "This is your moment. I see loads of waterworks going on here."

"Rightfully so," Minato muttered, peeking through the curtain as Mitsuru made her way onto the stage.

"Good Morning!" Mitsuru's voice was cool and authoritative as it always was.

"Welcome back to life, bro!" Junpei held his fist up. "Good old days."

"Hell yeah," Minato fist bumped.

...

"Why is she here?"

"A special announcement?"

"A tuition cut for the previous students?"

"She still looks wife material,"

"Geez,"

The gossips continued as Mitsuru mulled over her words. "Silence, please," she said coldly, shutting everyone up in the hall. "I apologize for the abrupt announcement but there is something I'd like to tell you all, especially the previous students of Gekkoukan Highschool."

"Eh?" Kenji blinked.

"For us?" Kaz said.

"Most of you might remember a transfer student by the name of..." Mitsuru quieted down. "Minato Arisato." Youske and Souji felt the tension and suspense rising in the hall. Some students looked teary eyed, some looked hopeful.

"Damn," Yosuke whispered. "Dude, the entire place just got shut down."

"I told you before," Souji smirked. "He has that charisma."

"No kidding..." Yosuke blinked as someone poked him from behind.

"Hey!" and he got poked again.

"Who the hel- oh, Chie," the mahogany haired male sighed. "What do you want?"

"Such a polite greeting," the brunette mocked. "Where are your manners?"

Yosuke grumbled under his breath.

"What's the special announcement?" Yukiko asked Souji.

"Oh, that?" the gray haired male shrugged. "Well, Minato Arisato returned from the dead." he said casually but immediately regretted it as the two girls looked ready to scream.

"Shit," Souji covered Yukiko's mouth with his hand as Yosuke did the same to Chie.

"Souji," Yukiko blushed as the gray haired male pulled away.

Chie bit on Yosuke's finger but the male managed to stop himself from yelling out.

"Dammit, just listen and please..." Yosuke trailed off.

"Keep quiet during this all," the two females nodded at Souji and sat back on their seats.

"... Charisma, huh?" Yosuke mumbled.

"As many of you know," Mitsuru said. "He slipped into a coma nearly 3 years ago."

"Dammit," Minato said from behind the curtain. "3 years..."

"I see blue," Hamuko announced, seeing a little bit of blue behind the curtain.

"Students and teachers..." Mitsuru said slowly, nearly causing a couple of people to yell out due to suspense. "Minato Arisato..." she trailed off to a whisper and the students grew more restless.

Elizabeth smiled fondly, Minato really had a huge impact on people around him. "Bonds..."

Minato took a deep breath and pulled away the curtains. He stepped forward and walked his way onto the stage with his head held high. Minato slowly took his steps and came into the view of the hundreds of student as utter silent prevailed in the hall.

Mitsuru smiled. "... has awakened." she announced as Minato stood next to her with a small smile.

...

... and soon, the silence was utterly smashed.

The collective scream of the student body was deafening and it nearly blew the roof off the place. Minato widened his smile as the students body starting cheering very loudly. Some of them were clueless as they didn't know who the hell the blue haired male was, but damn near every student of Gekkoukan High School recognized Minato as soon as he stepped into the stage.

"Wow..." Yukiko whispered as most of them students around her stood up.

"Wow, indeed," Souji smirked as a couple of students ran onto the stage, not minding that Mitsuru was standing very close.

"..." Yosuke stood up and ended up clapping. Chie followed him.

Yukiko giggled and clapped along.

Souji looked back to see Toriumi-sensei sobbing quietly to herself. "Heh." he shrugged and joined his friends.

Minato was swarmed by familiar faces, Kenji, Kaz, Yuko and other students they had met nearly 3 years ago. Most of them yelled at him before giving him a tight hug. His personal space was getting utterly smashed but he didn't mind it one bit. At first he usually did the Social Link for power but as time went on, he truly began to appreicate the bonds he had forged and he was overjoyed that everyone remembered him.

Minato looked through the crowd and found Elizabeth standing alongside his friends. The former attendant looked a little teary eyed but she ended up giving Minato her trademark grin which made the Messiah grin back.

"It's good to be back..." the savior said softly as he looked around, observing the crying faces of his former friends.

The ear splitting ruckus continued on and Mitsuru allowed it for a while until she finally stepped in and told the students to get on the seats, which they did after some pressing, but the gossips continued.

Minato went closer to the mic. "It's real good to be back. Thank you." with that, he walked away backstage to another round of cheers.

Mitsuru laughed. "Well, he said everything I needed to say. That is all." the redhead dismissed the students but most of them ran backstage to meet up with the blue haired male once again.

"Amazing..." Hamuko muttered. "The place went crazy!"

"That's Minato," Yukari laughed. "Like I said, he had quite the impact on people."

"I never expected this," Akihiko chuckled. "Nearly split my ear drum but damn, that was awesome."

"Quite," Elizabeth stood up from her seat. "Shall we get going?"

"Eli-chan, you okay?" Hamuko asked. "Your eyes look red for some reason."

"I am quite alright, thank you," Elizabeth bowed and walked away.

"... she does have a heart of gold," Akihiko repeated Junpei's comment from earlier.

"HEY!" Hamuko ran after her. "You'll get lost like this!" and the rest followed.

"Thank you man, I appreciate it!" Minato bowed slightly at the student.

"Yeah, no going back now," he assured another one and kept walking.

"Thank you!" Minato yelled back at someone.

The Messiah stopped at the notice board and smiled as Elizabeth was already there, her golden eyes scanning the board for the schedule. "Minato-kun!" she finally noticed the blue haired male and cheered.

Minato smiled at a couple of students and made his way over to Elizabeth. "Hello."

"You had such a heart warming reunion with your friends," Elizabeth recalled. "Nearly rendered me to tears once again."

"Like you and Igor told me," Minato replied. "Bonds... are everything."

Minato grasped her hand and gave it a squeeze, causing the female to blush faintly. "Come on, we've got the same class." he dragged her away and Elizabeth let out a squeak once she realized that it was mathematics class.

The entire class gawked at Elizabeth as she stepped inside and bowed at them. Minato followed next and the students cheered. The Messiah was pleased to see that the rest of his friends were there as well... including Akihiko.

"Class, please welcome our newest student," the teacher introduced the former attendant as she stood near the podium.

Elizabeth bowed once again. "Elizabeth Fortuna." she said softly, causing some boys to wolf whistle.

"Where would you like to sit?" the teacher asked.

Elizabeth scanned the hall and giggled slightly. "I would like to sit next to Minato-kun." the class oohed at her words and Minato sighed. This had happened before with Yukari but he wasn't mad. His life was finally back on track and he was sure that nothing bad could happen now.

...

Theodore sighed at the dense silence that prevailed in the Velvet Room. Usually, the room was quite lively thanks to a certain platinum blonde female but she was gone... and all that remained was a stern elder sister who had a chip on her shoulder.

"Even Master Igor," Theo whispered, looking back to Margaret who was sitting on the chair, her face stoic.

"Um, sister," Theo said slowly. "Where is Master?"

"It is not your place to question, Theodore," Margaret said, a little too harshly.

The male quieted down. Margaret was a little angry ever since the spat with Elizabeth.

Margaret opened the compendium and flipped through the pages in complete silence. Theodore sighed once again and looked towards the door of the Velvet Room.

"Do not do anything that you will regret," Margaret warned, snapping the male back to his senses. "I am warning you."

"Yes, sister," Theodore said slowly, nodding his head as Margaret disappeared, leaving him alone in the Velvet Room.
