The Divine Court – Stirring Shadows
In the highest plane, far above mortals, the Divine Council had been summoned.
Twelve thrones. Eleven gods.
And an empty seat—the one once reserved for the God of Balance, the one they had erased from history.
Aureon, the God of Judgement, stood before the others.
"Kael has awakened. He burned a god's seal inside a mortal's soul."
"Impossible," spat the God of War. "He was banished. Stripped. That power should not exist!"
The Goddess of Secrets said nothing—only turned her masked face toward the mortal realm.
And whispered:
"He's reclaiming the girls who once followed him… in the old age."
The gods fell silent.
Because they knew…
Each girl wasn't just a companion.They were once his divine apostles—souls bound to his cause, reborn in human form.
Back in the Mortal Realm: The Calm Before the Next Storm
Kael's dorm had become a sanctuary of strange harmony.
Zara was sharpening her swords in the courtyard.Rayna was sparring with lightning illusions in the sky.Selene was meditating with cold elegance.Lyra was humming over her alchemy scrolls.Mira was barefoot, drawing sacred runes in the dirt, singing to herself.
Kael sat at the center of it all, eyes closed, absorbing every detail.
"They're not just allies," he thought."They're pieces of a life I don't fully remember… but my soul does."
That peace wouldn't last.
Announcement: Team 13 vs. Team Roseblade
The next opponent came from the Rosenveil Academy, a rival school famed for their manipulative charm-based mages and illusion masters.
But this time… the leader of the team was unexpected.
A girl with emerald eyes, flowing crimson hair, and an aura that even Zara blinked at.
Her name: Lilliane Rosethorne.
Known as the "Queen of Thorns".
She stepped into the arena like royalty, her presence making everyone pause.
"I've heard of you, Prince Kael," she said with a voice that could seduce gods."I wonder… if the rumors are true."
Kael simply smirked.
"Only one way to find out."
The Match Begins: Roses and Blades
From the moment the battle started, it was a dance.
Thorny vines erupted from the ground, controlled with Lilliane's will. Petals turned into blades. Her team blurred through illusions, striking at minds instead of bodies.
But Kael's team?
They adapted.
Zara cut through vines like paper.Rayna's lightning vaporized illusions.Selene countered mental magic with absolute focus.Lyra tossed chaos potions like a fireworks show.
Mira floated above the chaos, eyes glowing.
"This one… is different. She's not here to win."
Lilliane's Gamble
Midway through the battle, the illusions dropped.
Lilliane stood face-to-face with Kael, her defenses down.
"Tell me," she whispered, walking close, "what would you do if I said… I know what you used to be?"
Kael's eyes narrowed.
"You're not a student."
She smiled.
"I'm a divine agent. Or rather… I was. Until I saw what they did to you."
"So this whole battle—"
"Was my entrance exam… for you."
Lilliane placed her hand on his chest. For a moment, her charm magic tried to take hold.
But then it backfired—because Kael's soul remembered her.
Not as an enemy.
But as a betrayed lover.
She gasped, tears in her eyes.
"You… you remember me."
The Match Ends – A Surrender and a Revelation
Lilliane knelt in front of Kael in the middle of the field.
"I forfeit. My team follows him now. I follow you, once more."
The crowd lost its mind.
The gods watching in secret screamed in fury.
And Kael?
He helped her up with a smile only his harem girls knew meant trouble for everyone else.
"Welcome back, Lilliane."
