Chapter 231: The Feathered Serpent God Appears, Target the East (Extra Chapter

In just a single day's time.

Kamikawa Mitsu's popularity around the world and online shattered every record.

And when the truth of the great war between the Void Demon Realm and the Nether Eclipse Realm leaked, netizens marveled and flipped tables alike.

"At Kamikawa Mitsu's age, I was still fighting the punks at school for control of 'Suzuran High,' and at most I'd brawl in a hundred-person melee. Look at Kamikawa Mitsu — he single-handedly took down an entire realm."

"At that age, I remember I was still chasing after some goddess, licking her boots, and in the end I became the backup guy."

"And now your goddess worships Kamikawa Mitsu. Brutal takedown. jpg"

"I feel like you're offending me, but you're so right. Yesterday I saw my goddess go buy a Kamikawa Mitsu figure — I was the one who paid. Pathetic me, crying. jpg"

Netizens sighed.

Elsewhere.

Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, Japan — Arakawa High School.

Today was the second day of winter break, yet the indoor auditorium of Arakawa High was packed with students.

The upcoming Tokyo Olympics had nothing to do with Arakawa High's students. If you really had to draw a connection, it would only be that the Tokyo Olympics were being held in Japan, and they were Japanese — that was the extent of it.

There was no real reason to gather the students.

The reason they were gathered was entirely because of a notice sent out to the students yesterday on short notice, asking them to serve as extras for the Olympics opening ceremony.

A year ago, the extras for the Olympics opening ceremony would never, by any stretch, have been chosen from Arakawa Ward, a Tokyo slum. The only reason Arakawa Ward students got to walk the stage was that Arakawa Ward was the site of supernatural incidents.

And most importantly of all — Kamikawa Mitsu attended Arakawa High.

Having a godlike figure enrolled at your school — how incredible was that? Letting that school's students walk the stage would boost the opening ceremony's atmosphere and draw eyeballs.

At this moment.

The auditorium was nearly full. Since the meeting hadn't started, the students sat chatting away.

You could see that the liveliest chatter came from the students in Kamikawa Mitsu's class — each of them talking animatedly, and the most enthusiastic of all was the self-styled know-it-all Yamanaka Ono, whose spit flew as he spoke.

"I knew Kamikawa was supernatural, but I never expected him to be this strong."

Yamanaka Ono said to a student from the next class beside him, his face full of emotion.

Sharing his feelings were his other classmates, especially those seated in front of and behind Kamikawa Mitsu — their expressions were complicated, full of sighs.

That look plainly said…

You'll never know whether, while you're taking a test in class, your classmate is off fighting a war between two realms.

We agreed to work hard at school together — how did you sneak off to PK an entire world?

Being a high schooler these days isn't easy — you have to study, and also bathe the world in blood.

"Yeah, last time I even made small talk with Kamikawa. Turns out I was chatting with a god — I should've made a wish to him back then." A classmate responded to Yamanaka Ono: "Hm? Why'd you go quiet?"

The noisy auditorium suddenly fell silent, as if something had been noticed. The classmates followed Yamanaka Ono's gaze toward the auditorium entrance.

In an instant.

That classmate also clamped his mouth shut, his breath stopping.

At the auditorium's main entrance, Kamikawa Mitsu walked in from outside.

I'm not seeing things, am I? Kamikawa Mitsu??!

Everyone who saw Kamikawa Mitsu arrive thought the same, utterly shocked — because in their view, Kamikawa Mitsu wouldn't come, or rather, they had long since convinced themselves that Kamikawa Mitsu probably wouldn't come to school anymore.

Contrary to expectations, Kamikawa Mitsu came.

Seemingly unaware of the change in the crowd, Kamikawa Mitsu swept his gaze across the auditorium, found his class's section, and sat down in the only empty seat.

Even after Kamikawa Mitsu sat down, the whole hall was still silent.

Every student — even the principal and teachers — found themselves unconsciously glancing toward Kamikawa Mitsu.

There was no helping it. After yesterday's feat of Kamikawa Mitsu single-handedly slaughtering an entire world, no one could treat him as just a student anymore. To them now, Kamikawa Mitsu was no different from a top figure in Japan — more formidable than the Prime Minister.

Put plainly, he was a very important person.

When ordinary people meet an important person, how could they possibly stay calm?

"Kamikawa, were you held up by fans on the way?" Tsuchimikado Xia Mei, the sole exception, seemed to sense the atmosphere was off and spoke up first.

She was different from the other students — although she'd discovered Kamikawa Mitsu was unimaginably powerful, she still had a connection with him; they'd even been chatting on Line just this morning.

Her thinking was simple.

Kamikawa being strong is one thing, but I didn't befriend him because of his strength or his status.

"Sorry I'm late — I was cleaning my place and lost track of time." Kamikawa Mitsu smiled. "What fans? People on the street see me and give me a wide berth. But that's fine by me — I was actually worried someone would come up and ask for an autograph or something. My handwriting's ugly."

Kamikawa Mitsu chatted with Tsuchimikado Xia Mei as he always did.

This scene stunned everyone. Some even rubbed their eyes, recalling yesterday's events, then looking at the Kamikawa Mitsu of now — the before and after were very different, but it wasn't uncanny, because before they knew Kamikawa Mitsu's supernatural identity, wasn't this exactly how he was? Looking very steady and composed, just an ordinary student.

As Kamikawa Mitsu and Tsuchimikado Xia Mei made small talk, and seeing how approachable he was, the students in the auditorium gradually relaxed.

Although Kamikawa Mitsu was a big shot, he wasn't some nouveau riche who, once famous and his strength revealed, started looking down on everyone. His previous behavior wasn't an act — that was Kamikawa Mitsu's true nature.

Unable to help himself, Yamanaka Ono quietly pulled out his phone, took a deep breath, and rubbing his hands together, said:

"Kamikawa, forget the autograph — can we at least take a photo? I want to show off to my friends."

Kamikawa Mitsu nodded. "Sure, but wait until the principal's meeting is over — can't hold up the school assembly."

The moment those words left his mouth, the entire auditorium instantly ignited — no longer silent, completely in an uproar.

Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, Japan — a maid café.

"Huh? Kamikawa-nii-san still goes to school?" Iori, hearing from Kamikawa Chie that Kamikawa Mitsu would continue attending school, was astonished. "I thought once Kamikawa-nii-san's identity was exposed, he'd walk the supernatural path and stop having anything to do with us — at least he wouldn't go to school anymore, given how much exposure he has."

"What's there to be surprised about? Nii-san is supernatural, but he's also a person, okay? And look at those student celebrities — they're celebrities, known by everyone, chased by fans every day, but they still go to school."

"Uh… Chie, you make way too much sense. I can't even argue back. But yeah, that does seem to be how it is."

"Of course. I never say anything wrong — it has to make sense."

Kamikawa Chie said, her eyes lighting up. She beckoned Muroto Meijiang and Iori across the table to lean in, and whispered:

"Nisan's so famous now, I think our big money-making plan can go ahead—it's time to sell Nisan's clothes. What price should we set? Oh right, Meijiang, isn't your dad acquainted with the boss of a figurine company? What do you think, should I try to get exclusive rights to a Nisan figurine? I reckon we could make a ton of money."

In just one day.

Headline after headline blew up online, shocking the entire world.

【Shocking! Even gods must bow to nine-year compulsory education!】

【The first god in history to complete nine-year compulsory education?】

When people saw the headline and read the content saying that Kamikawa Mitsu would continue going to school, the reason given was that Kamikawa Mitsu's extraordinary elder wanted him to keep studying.

Upon learning the content, without exception, netizens sucked in a breath of cold air, then couldn't help sucking in another, kept sucking for a while on the spot, and only calmed down after successfully boosting this year's global carbon emissions.

"Could it be that nine-year compulsory education contains some great horror, such that even gods must respect this rule? Could the one who established nine-year compulsory education be a big-shot god?" one netizen's imagination ran wild.

The heated discussion about Kamikawa Mitsu and about going to school kept going on.

Until the next day.

A heaven-shaking beast roar rang out, and the world's people all looked its way.
