Welcome To Kumagawa - (Season 2)

(As time flies and the crew arrived in Kumagawa, Kokei leads the group toward a neighborhood, owned by the Uesaka Clan as the neighbors waved at the returning Kokei with a smile on his face to see them.)

"Jia: So correct me if I'm wrong, the Uesaka clan owns half of Japan?"
"Kokei: A family such as mines built our wealth out of sweat, tears and blood, most even got lucky and was praised enough for their work by the Japan Mercenary Association."
"Silke: That's quite the interesting tale.. Unfortunately, I'm not that fluent in Japanese..."
"Kokei: Don't worry, I promised to teach you all. But for now, I want to take you all to a family home I own here."
"Bai: What is Kumagawa especially for?"
"Kokei: Kumagawa is more like our getaway city. We come here when things are quiet or vacation days but as of right now, I hand this down to you guys."

(As the party arrived at the Japanese modernized manor with a private garden, luxury comforting, maids, butlers and special servants as the gates then opened automatically at the sign of Kokei Uesaka's presence. As the party then walks through the gates excited, every maid and butler comes outside to welcome back Kokei.)

"All: Welcome Back, Lord Uesaka!"
"Kokei: Everyone, I'd like you to meet my friends, Negan, Silke, Jia, Ben and Caiyin."
"Bai: Caiyin..?"
"Negan (Whispering): Undercover name kid, we can't let anyone know you're Bai Zhen anymore."
"Bai: Oh... right..."
"Kokei: These will be the maids and butlers are our family's helpers to attend to our every need and desire. So in the meantime, I'd like for you to get settled in and help yourself to whatever, I must attend to some urgent matters."

(As Kokei leaves the family home, time passes as Negan was currently knocked out asleep in maximum comfort on a massage chair, Benjamin was scarfing down plates and plates of food as maids washed dishes, the cooks nonstop prepared dishes of food and the butlers would deliver the cooked food and take back the empty plates, Jia was exploring the manor with a tour guide as Silke was enjoying the garden as she secretly was a nature girl and Bai was relaxing in his room while noticing a beautiful view of Kumagawa.)

"Bai: Guess this is my life now."

(As one month goes by, Kokei returns to teach the unexperienced the Japanese language, Bai was then legally name changed to Caiyin Zhihao, he and Jia now attends the same academy in different classes, Silke applied and was accepted into Japan's Mercenary Association while she remains an exchange Mercenary and Ben was working alongside the academy as a new security guard. Meanwhile in Bai's new classroom, the female, mean-spirited teacher was instructing students on their current topic towards the exams at the end of the week.)

"Ms. Anrai (Academy Teacher | Power: Anger Spirit ): Alright you lazy asses, understand that at the end of the week will be the day you all will have your grade determined."
"Bai: Ms. Anrai?"
"Ms. Anrai: What?!"
"Bai: If you don't mind my asking, what is the topic on?"
"Ms. Anrai: Well since you transferred here, I don't care to say it again. The topic for the exam is on the legend of The Bloody Playground, does it exist or is it a myth? If either, how or why? Happy now? Now back to what I was saying...-"
"Bai (Thinking): The Bloody Playground..? And the end of this week is the exam...? Guess I have some exploring to do."
"Ms. Anrai: Hm... Zhihao!"
"Bai (Out Loud): Yes ma'am?"
"Ms. Anrai: Tell the class about yourself, I forgot to let you fucking introduce yourself."

(As Anrai sat down aggressively and drunk her iced coffee, Bai stood up and introduced himself.)

"Bai: My name is Caiyin Zhihao, I am a Blessing user and I came from Hong Kong, China."

(As Bai formerly introduced himself, he along with the class was dismissed by the bell as the teacher did not care but enjoyed her coffee.)

"Bai (Thinking): So this is my new academy..."

-Days Ago-

"Kokei: Kamani Valley Campus is the new school you two will be attending. After your first few classes, meet with the Student Counsel, I've informed them of your past in China so they'll be able to trust you and they can trust them. They're familiar with your real name too, so don't be scared if they call you by so."

-Now-

(Bai then walks towards the Student Counsel office and opens the door, noticing an open reception desk as the receptionist then welcomed Bai.)

"Aneko Kowinara (Receptionist | Power: None): Ah, Mr. Zhihao! Welcome, the Student Counsel has stepped out for a moment but please have a seat here."

(As time passes, a medium brown haired male student gives Bai the side eye as he exited the counsel room and leaves the office. Aneko then nods secretly at Bai to go inside. As Bai enters the office, he was then mesmerized by the size it was compared to Jingyi Grand Academy.)

"???: Welcome, Bai Zhen."
"Bai: Huh?!"

(A green colored lasso was then wrapped around Bai's waist, trapping his arms as he was then flung to wall and a hand was planted to the wall, a blue eye-colored adult female then lifts Bai's chin and looks him directly in the eyes.)

"???: Checks out, this is the guy."
"???: You can let him go now, Yakanei."
"Zatome Yakanei (Student Counsel Member | Power: Sonic Blessing, Stamina Curse): Oh boo.. you're no fun, he's so cute..!"
"Reize Hayamitsura (Student Counsel President | Power: ??? Spirit, ??? Blessing): You're making him uncomfortable. At least, that's what I'd like to say but..."

(She'd notice his face was then planted into her cleavage as she blushed playfully.)

"Zatome: He's of that age! Please let me-"
"All: NO!"
"Zatome: Hmph..! Well, sorry about that Bai. My name is Zatome Yakanei! You can call me "Zato" for short! This is the rest of the student counsel and our president, Reize Hayamitsura!"
"Reize: She's often peppy when in a good mood, I apologize for her actions."

(As Bai took time to come back to reality, he'd then formally bow at Reize as they were forgiven.)

"Bai: Its quiet alright. Kokei Uesaka told me about the counsel."
"Reize: Then that saves the introductions and we can get to the point. Zhen, we're aware of your actions in China and your reputation. We in Kamani Valley will actually protect you, the headmaster is unaware of your past records for we're the only ones with them."
"Bai: Wow.. Really?"
"Oshibo Kazanumi (Student Counsel Member | Power: Fabric Blessing, No Curse): Of course, you're the key to defeating the Triple Ghoul for good. He'll be coming back soon so we actually have to do whatever we can to get you stronger. Luckily, we have experienced specialists who supports the Student Counsel of Kamani Valley."
"Bai: I see.. When do I meet them?"
"Reize: They'll be meeting you in the Blessing training halls just on the lower levels of the academy after classes end. We'll have a authorization ID prepared for you."
"Bai: I see, thank you. What do I do until then?"
"Reize: Just continue your normal high schooler life. No need to worry about anything until you're called in."
"Bai: I see, then thank you all."

(Bai then leaves the student counsel's office as they all were looking forward to working alongside Bai Zhen. Meanwhile, Bai was sitting underneath a shady yet plentiful tree, crossed his legs and closed his eyes to renter his mind.)

"Bai: My Blessing Spirit, awaken for our pact is to be discussed, my call shall not go ignored!"

(As Bai then says so, the gates opens in his mind as he left his reality and returned to his Blessing's realm. As he then looked around, he'd notice Xu sitting on a balanced Warhammer but does not bother to turn around.)

"Xu: ..."
"Bai: ...Xu."

(After calling her name once, Bai was then separated from her by a barrier.)

"Bai: Xu! I want to talk to you..!"
"Xu: ..."
"Bai: Xu! If this is about before, I apologize okay...?! You were right, I was too pushy towards the next step of my training, the Triple Ghoul is going to return soon, my sister is dead, we had to leave China and now I'm a wanted criminal in my own hometown... I can't get stronger if I don't have my teacher who never gave up on me..!"
"Xu: .."
"Bai: Xu, please... Give me a second chance, I can do better... Master..."

(As the silence between the two was deafening, Xu lowers her barrier, removers herself from atop the Warhammer, walks towards Bai with her eyes shaded in darkness then punches him directly in the stomach as he coughed out spit and fell to his knees after being knocked the wind right out of him.)

"Xu: That's for almost getting killed, you stupid little shit!"
"Bai: I deserved that..."
"Xu: ...Damn it, you really got yourself in a big mess now huh?"
"Bai: Yeah.. I-Its.. pretty bad..."
"Xu: ...Fine. I'll give you a second chance, but there's a condition."
"Bai: Which is...?"
"Xu: You have to take me on a date. If you succeed in making me forget what happened between us, I will grant you your second chance."
"Bai: T-That's it..?"
"Xu: Did I stutter? I'm allowing you a chance to redeem yourself worthy for my training, idiot!"
"Bai: Okay! Okay..! When do I have to uh.. Take you out..?"
"Xu: Tomorrow is Friday. So why don't we go out after school?"
"Bai: That early..?!"
"Xu: Is there an issue or are you going to keep a promise?"
"Bai: ...I'll take you out after school."

(As Xu then smiled she then was more relaxed.)

"Xu: Good! Don't disappoint me now!"

(As Xu went back to where she was, Bai then immediately leaves the realm as he returned to reality, being blinded by the setting sun but then stands up as he noticed Jia was leaving the campus after finishing up her club activities.)

"Bai: Jia!"
"Jia: Hm?"
"Bai: Want to walk home together?"
"Jia: ...YES!"

(As the two walked home together, Bai was remembering what Xu said to him before he left the realm but was concerned if he could pull it off.)
