A Week Later:
Kuoh Sport Grounds, Kuoh Academy:
Theo's POV:
"Woo!" Kunou cheered from besides me, making me chuckle as Rossweisse giggled and Yasaka just smiled amusedly.
"Go, Fukukaichou!" I heard a cry to my left and turned to see most of the student council cheering loudly while waving a flag that read 'For the Council!'. Looking back into the track field, I was amused at the sight of Akeno and Rias doing the three legged-race against Sona and Tsubaki, both teams getting closer to the end as everyone else were far in the back.
"Go, Souna! Win for us!" Lisa Chibana, the Student Council President, shouted with a happy grin, her brown hair tied into a ponytail as her blue eyes shimmered behind her square, semi-rimmed blue glasses. The two teams were head to head, one slowly gaining over the other before the slower one caught up until at the end…
"Yes!" The Student Council cheered loudly as Sona and Tsubaki made it over the finish line, Rias pouting as she and a giggling Akeno won second place. Rias would have won if not for the fact that Akeno's right hand kept flashing down and hitting Rias' ass with electricity every time Rias tried to use her Demonic Powers to try and win. Fast enough to go unseen for the humans, but not fast enough for the Supernatural.
It did make for a good show, though.
"I always knew you were a sadist." Yasaka whispered from my right and I smirked.
"I never said I wasn't." She just giggled as I caught Rossweisse blushing slightly, probably hearing our conversation as Kunou was far too caught up in her excitement to hear us.
"I guess this means the Sports Festival was a success, huh?" I said with a proud smile as I looked out onto the sport grounds. Stalls that each sold a different kind of food and/ or ware were scattered across the sports ground, with activities and games being played in between.
Instead of holding the Sport Festival Day like every other High School before the Midterms, Kuoh Academy instead holds it the day after the exams as a way for students to de-stress and relax after their gruelling and exhausting tests, which I suppose works. No one wants to have fun when you're stressing over a Maths test, so this was a good way to help our students relax.
"I should make you do this more often, Richards-san." Speak of the Devil. I turned to see the headmistress, Matsumoto Nanao, smirking at me. Even at 50 years old, she looked as if she was in her mid-twenties. Her black hair was tied into a high bun, two ornate black pins keeping it up as her dark violet eyes shimmered with amusement. Her attire was different from her usual businesswoman look as she only had a dark violet sundress on that showcased a bit of cleavage.
"I aim to please, Headmistress." She just smirked at my words, smiling at Yasaka & Rossweisse, who both smiled back at her, and waved at a smiling Kunou, who waved back.
"Well, I suppose that is true. I have only heard high praises from both the student body and our staff about the amazing Richards-sensei, which is the reason I'm here." I turned to look at her as the girls went back to looking at the next activity, which I think was the 100 meters sprint.
"Kuoh Academy is going to become a Co-Ed school next year, but we'll only be letting a limited number of boys in and they'll all have to be the best of the best academically to be allowed in. That's why I'm here. In a week, the boys that want to apply will be allowed onto Kuoh's school grounds to see the facilities and I want you there to be the guide, if it's not too much trouble." She said and I grinned.
"It would be my pleasure." I said and she smiled as she nodded.
"Thank you. Now, that's enough work. I'll leave you three lovebirds and your child to enjoy your little family outing." Rossweisse blushed bright-red at her words, Yasaka giggling with a smirk as I chuckled.
"Bye~!" Kunou waved cheerfully, the headmistress giggling as she waved back before she walked off to the stalls, leaving us once again.
"Looks like I'll be getting new and fresh souls to torture-I mean, teach." I said, a small sadistic smirk on my face as the girls just shook their heads.
Two Days Later:
"And here we are, everyone! The final match of the round of 16 for the Japan All-Girls High School Football Championship! Whoever wins this match, will progress on to the Quarter Finals. On the left, we have a team who has continuously made it to the final 8, but never seemed to make it to the finals. Give it up for Takashi High!" The Takashi crowd cheered, all of them sporting the black and gold colours of the school.
"And on the right, we have a team who's been dominating the competition, devouring foe after foe as they showcase their power! It's none other than Kuoh Academy!" The Kuoh crowd went ballistic, most of them waving flags with Yamada and Yusada's faces on them as I grinned.
Time to unveil the new trump card.
"Now, I'm sure everyone has warmed up and gotten ready, so let's not waste any more time! Without further ado, let's…begin!"
*PPPPPIIIIII*
Yamada flicked the ball to Yusada before she, to the surprise of Takashi, shot a low cross spinning across the ground towards Shigiru, who caught it before she smirked and took off like a speeding bullet. The defenders had no way of stopping her as she either did nutmegs and spun around them or just simply blitz past them to the goal.
'Now, I've done my calculations and I have a winning formula for you. As soon as you get to just outside the penalty area, come to a complete stop.' Shigiru came to a sudden stop, confusing the defender in front of her before she charged towards Shigiru.
'The defender will see your sudden stop as an easy way to get the ball, so what I want you to do is cut to the outside before doing a nutmeg and swiftly cutting to the inside.' Shigiru then quickly flicked the ball in the direction of the outside line, the defender stretching a leg out to catch the ball before staring slacked-jaw as Shigiru backheeled the ball between her legs, nutmegging her as she cut to the inside.
'Now, two defenders are going to try and box you in. Sprint towards them before going full speed as you cut into the goal area.' Two of the defenders rushed towards Shigiru, but she smirked as she sprinted toward them, doing high-speed scissors before stunning both defenders as she softly kicked the ball in the air between them.
'That takes their attention away from you and towards the ball. Now, bulldoze through.' Both defenders tried to catch the ball before being stunned once more as Shigiru blitzed in between them, jumping to catch and carry the ball.
'You're now in midair. This might seem disadvantageous for you by the defending team, but it works out perfectly as you have the best aerial passing skills amongst the team. I don't want to shoot a full power shot. Instead, make a super hard low pass to the lower right corner of the goal.' Shigiru smirked as her leg arched in the air, connecting with the ball and sending it flying forward like a speeding bullet. The goalie wasn't even able to get it as the ball flew past her and into the lower right corner.
"Leopard Snipe." I muttered with a grin as Shigiru fell to the ground, quickly making it to her feet before cheering loudly as the team celebrated. The defenders were still shocked at her skill as I grinned at the fuming coach of the Takashi team.
"And Hyogiri Shigiru shows that Yusada and Yamada are not the only ones to look out for on the Kuoh Team as she finesses the defenders and goalkeepers by scoring a goal on her own! Kuoh Academy was never this good, so this truly showcases their new coach's ability to take their team to unprecedented heights!" I just chuckled at the announcer's words as I nodded at the smiling Shigiru, who giggled as she gave me a thumbs-up.
"Girls! Time for an all-out slaughter!" I exclaimed from the side, Yusada, Yamada and Shigiru growing feral grins as I grinned, rubbing my hands together gleefully as the rest of the team went into full defence with excited grins.
Time to show them who the true rulers are.
One Hour, 45 Minutes Later:
"Complete and utter decimation! Kuoh Academy moves on to the Quarter Final rounds as they slaughter Takashi High with an 8-0 win! Truly, this team is going places!" The announcer shouted as the ref blew the final whistle, the Kuoh crowd cheering as what was left of the Takashi crowd just cheered in encouragement for them team. After Shigiru scored a hat trick and our 5th goal, some of the Takashi crowd decided to just leave and not witness the complete destruction.
"That's my girls!" I exclaimed with a grin, the Kuoh crowd cheering as I grinned.
"Now, then, the Quarter Finals are going to be tough, but I have the utmost faith in you girls, so let's get to the finals and take that trophy home! Are you with me, Kuoh?!"
"Yes!" The crowd and team shouted and I grinned as I nodded.
"Now, go and celebrate! No training tomorrow." The girls cheered and I chuckled, watching them walk towards the crowd before I felt someone jumping onto my back.
"Hey, Theo! Can I join the team?!" Kunou asked with an excited grin and I chuckled as I helped her climb onto my shoulders.
"Get into high school first. Then we'll talk." She just pouted before I heard an amused giggle, turning to see Yasaka and Rossweisse smirking at us. They were both just in simple gold and silver T-shirts respectively along with jeans and sneakers and yet, they looked far better than any other woman around us right now.
"I've really converted you both to the sacred art of Football, haven't I?" I said with a grin, to which Yasaka just rolled her eyes.
"Indeed. I have never had a liking for sports, but football truly is fascinating when you watch the plays unfold in front of you." Rossweisse said with a smile and I nodded.
"Well, why don't you follow me and I'll explain it all to you and my little protégé?" I said with a grin as I tapped Kunou's leg, to which she giggled as Rossweisse giggled.
"Not even a month and you're already going after another woman." Yasaka said with a smirk as she wrapped her arms around my right one, hugging it tightly to her bountiful chest as I grinned.
"Of course not. There is no one better than you." I said, to which she just nodded.
"Good answer." She said, making Rossweisse and Kunou giggle as I rolled my eyes with a smirk.
Women. Can't live with them, but you also can't live without them.
Later that day, Evening:
*PING* *PING* *PIIIIIP*
"Is anyone expecting someone?" I asked with a confused look as I heard the door alarm ring, to which everyone shook their heads as I frowned and stood up from the table.
"Rossweisse, security measures."
"Will do." Rossweisse said as she pressed a finger against the table, multiples runes appearing on it as she began to type on them. I just walked out of the dining room and towards the front door, Yasaka following after me as Kunou stayed behind with Rossweisse.
"Who is it?" I asked as soon as I made it to the door before I heard a familiar voice speak.
"Theo, it's me." Frowning slightly, Yasaka looked confused as I opened the door before being shocked at Gilgamesh standing there with a frown, an envelope in his grasp.
"G-G-Gilgamesh?" Yasaka whispered in shock, but he ignored her as he turned to me as he handed the envelope over to me. I was confused as he just gestured for me to read it and I opened it, my eyes widening as I read the contents before looking up at him to see if this was a joke.
"What you read is nothing but a truth. Hades, the Greek God of the Underworld and one of the Olympic Trinity, has publicly declared his allegiance with the Khaos Brigade before all of the Greco-Roman gods before escaping along with his Grim Reapers." Yasaka gasped at his words as I just stared at him.
…What…the hell?
A/N: And there we go, I'm slowly piecing the story together bit by bit. It's taking a while, but soon I'll have the full timeline figured out.
Well, what did you guys think of the twist at the end? Shocking, isn't it? I'll have a reason for why he publicly did it at the end in the next chapter.
Also, I've reading this in my spare time...and it's unbelievably short. I thought that 2k words a chapter would have been alright, but damn is it short. So, I'm increasing it to 3K words a chapter and if that also feels too short, 4k words a chapter.
As always, leave your reviews, enjoy and I'll see you all next chapter. Until then…Ba-Bye!
