Arthur brought Yuffie back to their Japanese ho base after a whirlwind trip that saw him casually register Kitty Pryde, Kurt Wagner, and several other trusting mutants into the system.
They could now enter the Dungeon Tower any ti they wished, their path to power and adventure secured by Arthur's influence.
"Kitty! You have to wait for ! We will go to the Dungeon together. I will be your guide!"
Yuffie shouted into the comms device as they left, already energized by the thought of leading the enthusiastic new recruits.
She had been on the first floor before; even though she wasn't a Dungeon Climber herself, Arthur's connection allowed her to enter and use his Dungeon Points (DP) for necessities, provided she asked for permission first.
"Alright!"
Kitty's delighted voice ca through.
Her dream had co true. Kitty, already strategizing, added to herself:
'I have to speak with Jean. She should be back soon.'
Jean Grey was like her big sister, and she needed to share this life-altering news.
Arthur and Yuffie stepped into the large, traditional Dojo, the air thick with the disciplined shouts of students practicing their strikes.
"Do your job, Yuffie,"
Arthur said, the command carrying a finality that brooked no argunt.
Sephira saw them instantly and walked toward them with quiet, controlled grace.
Her movents were always economical and perfect.
"Welco back, Arthur. I am sorry that I haven't gone to greet you. I assu that you wanted to spend so personal ti with Aerith,"
Sephira said, her expression serious yet considerate.
She understood the weight of his dinsional duties.
Arthur smiled, genuinely appreciating her maturity.
"It's okay, Sephira. Don't think too much about it. But you shouldn't have to take care of everything while she goes around ssing with powerful mutants and stealing beer."
Sephira nodded once, her long, silver hair swaying.
She then turned her eyes, which held the cold, ancient wisdom of her lineage, and looked pointedly at Yuffie.
Yuffie imdiately shuddered.
The playful adventurer completely forgot who Sephira was: the final boss of her ho world, a being of absolute, terrifying martial perfection.
Sephira was only soft and nice because of Arthur.
Now, with a direct order from him, Yuffie's tenure as dojo master was about to beco very real.
"You have a lot of work left to do, Master Kisaragi. Co here,"
Sephira spoke, her voice low and utterly devoid of humor.
"A—Alright, geeze. Please don't make such a scary face, Sephira,"
Yuffie mumbled, her previous swagger evaporating instantly.
She could only follow the supre sword master to face the mountain of administrative and teaching work.
"Well, my job here is done for now. I should go to the High School DxD world,"
Arthur said, satisfied that his ho world was stabilized and his partners were now actively engaged in their respective duties.
Arthur focused his will, using his Reality Blending to reach across the conceptual barrier to a dinsion he had personally mapped.
The transition was so imdiate and absolute that in his own world, it felt like less than a blink.
Arthur reappeared in a dinsion fundantally different from the Tower Nexus, one saturated with powerful demonic and divine energy.
For the denizens of this world, the dinsional jump had been nearly instantaneous.
He materialized within the lush, familiar garden linked to his mansion.
"I am back,"
Arthur announced.
"I knew it. He ca back in an instant, nyaan,"
Kuroka chirped happily, the two-tailed Nekoshou leaping onto his right side and wrapping him in a fierce hug.
She clung to him with the instinctual knowledge that even though his travel felt like a millisecond to them, he might have been gone for months, or even years, in his own tiline.
Sona smiled, her expression warm but observant.
She thought the sa as Kuroka.
"Welco back, Arthur. Care to tell us your story? You felt different sohow."
She wanted to know what he had been through in the single, chaotic millisecond he went away.
Koneko hugged him tightly on the left side, her grip surprisingly strong.
"Yes, please tell us your story… Did you get any good snacks?"
Arthur chuckled, feeling the genuine relief and affection of his partners.
He patted them both.
"I promise I'll tell you everything, but it's a long story. I'll tell you all of it when we reach the mansion."
