The next day...

Ozpin wanted every student to be aware of the following announcement: there were new staff members, students, and a headmaster. While wearing their school uniforms, everyone was in the gymnasium. They observed the incoming students congregating and noticed that Ironwood, Sirzechs, Nezu, All Might, Winter, and Glynda were grouped behind Ozpin, who was in front of the microphone.

Ozpin: "Union Academy students! The actual reason I summoned you all here today is because we will like you all to meet your new teachers, students, and new headmasters." Ozpin spoke into the microphone as he stepped aside to let the new headmasters take the podium.

Then a woman appeared on the platform; she appeared to be unable to grow physically, with sparkling blue eyes and white hair frequently pulled up in a low-side ponytail.

Theresa: Sigh~ "As an S-rank Valkyrie, I am the captain of St. Freya High School's elite division of Valkyries. It is also a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Theresa Apocalypse! S-rank Valkyrie and I are currently the new headmasters of the Union Academy and the leaders of the anti-entropy unit "Schicksal."

Theresa appeared familiar to Kenji, but he did not give it much thought. Kenji then noticed two of the new students staring at him; they appeared to be extremely familiar to him as well, particularly the one with the untidy white hair that is frequently pulled back into two large braids. Nevertheless, he returned his focus to the podium.

And then there is an elderly man with auburn-colored eyes and gray-wavy hair who is frequently spotted wearing a black suit along with other formal wear.

Kiriya: "Hello, I am Kiriya. I will be training all of the shinobis here at the academy, but my doors are always open if any of you want to train to be a shinobi."

The students all noticed a large group of girls, some of whom had massive breasts and others of whom had little ones; these girls appeared to be five-member teams from four different teams: Hanzō National Academy, Homura's Crimson Squad, Gessen Girls' Academy, and Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy.

Fuji: "Look like Issei is certainly going to take to win them over... look." Fuji stated that Kenji, Hiroshi, Kieru, and Estuko watched Issei smiling like a pervert because they already knew what he was thinking. They turned around and saw Mineta doing the same thing.

Estuko: "God, the two of them have the most punchable faces." She says this while looking disappointed at both Issei and Mineta. Theresa and Kiriya move aside to allow Ozpin to say one more word.

Ozpin: "Before you all go out and do whatever it is you want to do, I have a very important announcement to make: tomorrow morning will mark the commencement of another admission exam to see what your best is, and the ranks of new students will be determined by that."

Ozpin turned to face the group of new students and continued.

Ozpin: "Will you all stay here for a bit so that I can assign your dormitory?" asked Ozpin to the new students as the rest of the students left the gymnastics.

Later that day...

Some of the new students were at the academy's lounge area while they were getting adjusted to their new dorms. Kenji's team was seated at the table when a young woman approached and tapped on his shoulder, grabbing not only his attention but also the attention of the entire team.

Raiden Mei: "Hello, my name is Raiden Mei, a person with the power of lightning. It is great to meet you five." Mei introduced herself to them, then, with a smile on her face, Kieru stood up and shook Mei's hand.

Kieru: "Hello, Mei. I am Kieru Takahashi. This is Estuko Agawa, Fuji Tanaka, Hiroshi Yamada, and Kenji Kaslana. Welcome to Union Academy." When Mei heard the name Kaslana, she turned to face Kenji because she had a question.

Raiden Mei's whole body goes straight, and her eyes widen

Raiden Mei: "Excuse me, Kenji, are you possibly related to Kiana Kaslana?" Kenji had not heard the name "Kiana Kaslana" since he was a child, so hearing it hit him like a million bullets.

Kenji: "I have not actually heard of that name since I was a child. I do know that I have a younger sister named Kiana Kaslana. Someone leaping on his back cut off Kenji's sentence.

He realized it was his little sister, Kiana Kaslana, when the same female student who had been staring at him in the gym put her arms around her older brother's neck.

Kiana: "Brother!!! You're back!" She exclaims happily; she seems happy to see her big brother after all this time. A little girl with light gray drill-shaped ponytails and darker gray eyes approached Kiana; she seemed to be feeling quite emotional.

Bronya: "She talks about you all the time, Kenji-senpai," Bronya said, glancing up at him without saying anything more; she just looked back up at him, her expression emotional.

Kiana: "Hmph! I do not!" Kiana pouts, not wanting anyone to know how much she talks about her big brother when he isn't around.

Kenji: "Haha... yep, this is the same Kiana I know. Act like a tsundere when it is truly the truth." Kenji sprang up from his seat and gave his younger sister a hug.

Kiana: "Don't be so loud about it!" She blushes in the process. Kiana goes red and pouts, embarrassed that you caught her in this situation. Kenji and his group turn to notice Rias staring at him; perhaps this is her chance to get to know him.

Kenji: "How come you are staring at me?" Then Kenji spoke up behind Raiden Mei to Rias, who was staring at him and flinching as she approached them.

Rias: "Now that's not exactly the way to greet someone who is looking at you. How about a smile, maybe? We've been sharing this same campus for so long, and yet... I feel like I barely know you."

Kenji: "It is cute that you keep forgetting about me after all this time that you have been bullying me." Rias snorts.

Rias: "Well, you know, as a devil lady, I do have to bully people now and then, even if I don't like it. But hey, I'm trying my best here. Come on, how about that smile?" Kenji's eyes start to twitch with anger.

Kenji: "Even though you have not had a one-on-one with me yet, tomorrow will be the day that I take that damn smile off your face!" This makes Rias chuckle.

Rias: "Oh? Do you really think so? You think one-on-one you can defeat the heiress of the Gremory clan? Heh. It looks like I'll get to see your real abilities tomorrow. Oh my... This feels like Christmas." Rias says she is getting excited and clapping her hands together.

Kenji: "Oh, do not worry. You are next once I finish with Issei."

Rias: "Issei?" Psh~ "You're going to defeat Issei? Yeah, right, he's the reincarnation of the White Dragon and the Red Dragon. Not to mention, he has the power of the dragon god inside him. Even if you defeat him, you'll still have me, Akeno, and Gasper, who are just as powerful. So good luck with that."

Kenji: "I suppose you got a bit too confident after all the pounding I gave you, and you struck your head a little too hard." Rias scowl.

Rias: "Listen here, kid. I don't care how strong you are. Even if you can beat me, you'll never defeat Akeno, Gasper, and, of course, Issei. They're just as skilled as I am and more stubborn and dedicated than me. Just because you defeated me means nothing because I only lost that fight because I got too ahead of myself. So don't go acting all cocky just because you managed to defeat me once."

Kenji: "What about your entire peerage?" Rias rolls her eyes.

Rias: "Oh, what about them? Well, if you somehow manage to defeat me, Akeno, Gasper, and Issei, there's still Kiba, Xenovia, and Irina. I'm pretty sure one of them, or maybe all of them together, can give you a tough time." Rias then turned her back to him, getting ready to leave, but she had one more thing to say to Kenji.

Rias: "You'll never stand a chance against me alone, let alone the entire group. So don't get your hopes up and give up, or you might do something silly and embarrassing to yourself, like cry after I defeat you." She then departed, and Fuji turned to face Kenji and said,

Fuji: "So you are going to go all out on everyone tomorrow on the entrance exam?" Kenji relaxedly leaned back in his chair and put his arms behind his head.

Kenji: "I might as well. Except for the new students. Everyone who now knows about my powers is going to be cocky towards me, but I'm not really worried about it." Kenji said, as he did not know why Estuko was massaging his thigh with her hand on his lap, but he did not stop her.

Estuko: "The four of us are currently at the top of the ranking system, so we need to be there at the absolute top. I know we are going to be battling as a team, so I hope you can all rely on one another."

Mei understood what Estuko had meant since she realized that the match would be teams against teams rather than a lone contest. She felt that she should consider two more people with whom she, Bronya, and Kiana could collaborate. However, she chose to put that idea on hold until tonight in order to make that decision.
