The Earth has settled somewhat from the cataclysm, yet numerous challenges confront Kazuki. Because of the cataclysm and the stunts done by Ryujin pretending to be a villain, eroded trust in Earth's governance, but amidst all this chaos Kazuki still needs to attend school because of his parents giving him an earful as he was missing for two days.
Returning home after the conference, Kazuki became an unrecognizable figure to his family. In just two days, he had grown seven centimeters taller, his muscles refined as if he had undergone decades of training. His once-boyish features now radiated a mature handsomeness. The catalyst for this transformation lay in Ryujin's shared powers during their hero and villain performance and the exposure to pure, dense mana in Eldia.
As Ryujin continued his quest, Kazuki, now bestowed with additional powers, decided to take the initiative to save the world. However, before diving into the complexities of their shared destiny, Kazuki had the mundane task of attending school the next day, accompanied by his sister, Hikari Nakamura.
Hikari, a 35-year-old renowned surgeon, epitome of beauty and vitality. Married with one child, she escorted Kazuki to school the following day. His entrance into the educational realm was nothing short of a spectacle. All eyes were on him as he strolled through the campus, leaving girls awestruck and boys envious. Unrecognized, a curious girl asked, "Are you a transfer student?" to which Kazuki replied, "I'm not." Hikari, walking alongside him, remarked, "Pretty famous, ain't you?". "You might be more famous than me, don't you see the boys ogling at your breasts?" Said Kazuki with a smirk.
The banter continued, with Kazuki playfully teasing his sister about the attention she garnered. Hikari, in return, attempted to smack his head, only to be dodged skillfully. Hikari sighed and said, "You've changed so much in two days. Is your teacher going to believe us? No matter what, you won't tell how it happened, right? You didn't take drugs, did you?"

Kazuki, with a fed-up expression, retorted, "I didn't take drugs! How many times do I have to tell you?"
Undeterred, Hikari didn't ask any more questions, and they proceeded to the staffroom. After a protracted one-hour conversation, Hikari managed to convince the teacher that Kazuki underwent surgery for personal reasons. The teacher then directed Kazuki to go to his class. Despite this, as Kazuki entered the classroom, he became the center of attention. Girls bombarded him with questions.
"why did you transfer?"
"do you have a girlfriend?"
"what kind of girls do you like?"
"Do you like anime?"
Amid inquiries from curious girls in the classroom, Yuusuke, Kazuki's best friend, recognized the 'K'-adorned keychain. Standing up in astonishment, he asked, "Hey, are you Kazuki?" The classroom buzzed with shock. However, the homeroom teacher's arrival diffused the tension. "Good morning, everyone. You must all be shocked by Kazuki's appearance; he underwent surgery due to personal reasons.
"I hope you'll still get along even after his appearance has changed a little," his teacher said. Just when he was finishing his sentence, a girl named Hinata spoke, "A little? Takashi-sensei, how can his appearance change so suddenly? He became taller as well."
Takashi chuckles to himself, thinking, "It must be tough for her to digest. She's got a soft spot for Kazuki, and it seems like everyone, except Kazuki himself, is well aware of it."
It's finally lunch break says Kazuki while streching. With the bell signaling lunch break, he swiftly exited the classroom, avoiding the impending flood of questions. In the washroom, while washing his face, he encountered Yuusuke, who greeted him with an abrupt, "Hey, Kazuki.
" Kazuki, with a hint of weariness, responded,
"What?"
Yuusuke, cutting to the chase, asked,
"You're Shinryu, right?"
The winds of change whispered as Yuusuke stumbled upon the connection that would entwine Kazuki's ordinary life with the extraordinary destiny that awaited him.
