Tet walked back into the guild hall dragging a flailing goddess behind him. She had bright blue hair and matching blue eyes and wore a blue-and-white dress with white detached sleeves, blue thigh-high boots, white stockings, and a pink raiment that fluttered wildly as she struggled.
Everyone in the room froze, staring with wide eyes as the goddess thrashed and shouted, "Come on, Lord Tet, I'm sorry! Just send me back! I'll do anything! I'll even give myself to you!"
The moment those words left her mouth, the air shifted.
An enraged Vesta appeared seemingly out of nowhere, her expression thunderous. Without hesitation, she drop-kicked the goddess straight into the wall with a resounding crash. Dust and debris scattered as Vesta crossed her arms and said sweetly, "So, darling… who's this bitch—I mean, person?"
Tet let out a nervous chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck. "This idiotic excuse for a goddess is Aqua, formerly the goddess of reincarnation. I challenged her to a game for her world and won. Now I'm her boss, and today is the first day of her punishment."
With a snap of his fingers, Tet teleported the dazed Aqua back to the center of the guild hall. Before she could even process what was happening, he snapped again, and her outfit was instantly replaced with a blue French maid-style waitress uniform.
Tet gestured toward her casually and said, "Put her to work. Running food, washing dishes, whatever you need done."
Vesta's lips curved into a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Gladly."
She grabbed Aqua by the arm and began dragging her away as Aqua protested weakly, disappearing toward the back.
Turning toward Asia, Tet said, "Asia, while I'm away, greet the customers. If anyone is rude, go straight to Hestia or Vesta, okay?"
Asia nodded obediently, smiling softly. "Okay, Lord Tet. Have a nice trip."
With that, Tet vanished in a flash of light
-----
In the middle of Camp Half-Blood, space rippled, and a portal opened with a soft hum. Out stepped Tet, followed by Hephaestus, Ryuu, and Syr.
Tet glanced at Syr, brow furrowing slightly, and said, "Why are you in that form?"
Freya smiled faintly, her expression calm and self-assured as she replied, "Oh, relax. I'll still introduce myself as Freya, but I'm sticking with this form now that I can freely use my divinity again. And thanks to joining your pantheon as its new goddess of love and beauty, I'm stronger than ever. It's going to take me a little while to adjust to my new strength, and this form keeps my charm magic in check, something I know we all don't want running wild on a camp with lots of teenagers."
Tet nodded after a moment and said, "Okay, that's fair."
Another portal opened beside them, and out stepped Sam and Rossweisse.
Freya's eyes lit up as she immediately rushed forward and said, "Are you Rossweisse?"
Rossweisse blinked in surprise but quickly composed herself and replied, "Yes. Who are you, miss?"
Freya smiled warmly and said, "I am Freya, though not your Freya."
Rossweisse straightened, clearly excited, and said, "Oh, it's wonderful to meet you, my lady. Will we be working together?"
Freya's smile widened as she looked Rossweisse over approvingly and said, "Yes, little rose. I have been chosen as the camp's director. My goal is to help these young ones become fine warriors while also ensuring they enjoy their youth."
Sam stepped forward and said, "Good to meet you, Lady Freya."
Freya turned sharply toward him, eyes roaming over him from head to toe in a single assessing glance. After a brief pause, she turned back to Rossweisse and said, "Not bad, little rose. I approve."
Rossweisse flushed and said, "Thank you, my lady."
Tet clapped his hands once and said, "Okay, let me get the last two people, and then we'll go find Chiron."
A portal flared open once more, and Atalanta and Medea stepped through.
Medea crossed her arms and said, "I can't believe you're trusting me with teaching magic."
Tet looked at her evenly and said, "Will you harm Aphrodite's children?"
Medea scoffed lightly and said, "Of course not. I hate her, not her children."
Tet nodded once and said, "Well then, congratulations on being Camp Half-Blood's new magic teacher."
With that settled, Tet said, "Let's go find Chiron."
It didn't take long. They found Chiron outside the Big House, where Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover were already gathered.
Chiron smiled warmly and said, "Lord Tet, wonderful to see you. And who are these people?"
Tet gestured toward Freya and said, "This is Freya. She'll be the new camp director. She's not the Freya you're aware of, so do not judge her by her other self."
Chiron inclined his head respectfully and said, "Of course not. Welcome, my lady."
Freya smiled and said, "I'm glad to be here, Chiron. You and I have much to discuss. For example, within the next few days I'd like you to take me around camp and show me the facilities. Then you and I will make a list of things that need to be added or updated. I can already see some things that need replacing or improvement."
Chiron's ears perked slightly, and he said, "Of course. I look forward to it. It's amazing, actually, being able to improve the camp. Before, I had to fight tooth and nail with the Olympian Council for something as simple as repainting a building."
Freya shook her head and said, "Yet again, I'm astounded by the ineptitude of this world's gods and the mistreatment of their children."
Tet shrugged and said, "To be fair, for some of them it wasn't a choice. Zeus was an ass."
Freya snorted softly and said, "What else is new? Do you have any idea how many times that ancient pervert has tried to get me in bed?"
Tet cleared his throat and said, "Moving on. This is Ryuu. She will be handling wilderness survival alongside Atalanta here."
Chiron nodded politely and said, "Well met, Miss Ryuu."
Ryuu bowed her head respectfully and said, "Likewise, Chiron."
Chiron turned to Atalanta and smiled. "It is a joy to see you again, Atalanta, even if you're not the one I know."
Atalanta smiled back and said, "It's great to see you too, Chiron."
Tet gestured again and said, "And this is Medea. She'll be handling magic classes."
Chiron regarded her carefully and said, "Yes, well, I trust you'll be a good teacher, Medea."
Medea waved a hand dismissively and said, "Oh, I'm not going to hurt any of the kids, Chiron. Besides, my new boss would kill me if I did."
Tet chuckled darkly and said, "Oh, i wouldn't simply kill you."
Medea gulped audibly and said, "So yes, I'll be on my best behavior."
Tet continued, "Moving on. This is Rossweisse, a former Valkyrie. She will help teach combat and will hold classes on rune magic."
Rossweisse bowed politely and said, "A pleasure to meet you, Chiron."
Chiron returned the gesture and said, "You as well, Miss Rossweisse."
Tet gestured to Sam and said, "And finally, we have Sam Winchester, an experienced monster hunter."
Chiron smiled and said, "Ah yes, young Mr. Winchester. Lord Tet has filled me in on some of your adventures. I must say, I'm quite impressed."
Sam nodded and said, "Thank you. I'll be holding classes on monster studies. Lord Tet allowed me to take trips to other universes to study the creatures there and collect lore. I'll do my best to ensure they're well prepared for any future encounters. But since they have ADHD, I may have to do some live demonstrations or field trips."
Chiron nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's fine. We'll work out a syllabus later."
Tet gestured to the red-haired goddess and said, "And finally, this is another version of Hephaestus. She asked for visitation rights to her children."
With a satisfied nod, Tet said, "Well, now that that's done, I have to go to the Ares cabin to tell one of them they've been elected for an assignment."
And with that, Tet turned and headed off toward the Ares cabin.
-----
At the Ares cabin, Tet found Clarisse and called out to her, "Hey, Clarisse, I'm looking for your brother Marcus."
Clarisse grinned and nodded. "No problem, Lord Tet. Give me a sec."
She disappeared inside the cabin and returned moments later with a tall boy in tow. He had short black hair, sharp blue eyes, and wore the usual Camp Half-Blood T-shirt and jeans. Stepping forward, he squared his shoulders and said, "I'm Marcus Williams. You wanted to see me, Lord Tet?"
Tet studied him briefly before asking, "Marcus, are you a year-rounder?"
Marcus nodded without hesitation. "Yes, sir."
Tet's lips curved slightly as he asked, "Do you like fighting?"
Marcus's expression shifted instantly into a bloodthirsty grin, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Absolutely, sir."
"Good," Tet said. "I'm gonna teach you how to use something called Haki, and you're gonna spend a week with an instructor. After that, come Monday, I'm sending you to another world for an assignment that's gonna last a few years. You'll only be able to come back here during summer break."
Marcus blinked, processing that, before asking, "Wait, summer break? Am I going to a school?"
Tet nodded. "A school for yōkai. The headmaster wants to bridge the gap between humans and monsters. I think he wanted a normal human, but I'm not evil enough to send an average person to a place they'd easily die at."
Marcus frowned slightly, curiosity mixing with excitement. "What am I supposed to do there?"
"Attend classes, make some friends, and every other day fight for your life," Tet replied evenly.
Marcus paused, then scratched the back of his head and said, "Huh. So it's a school for monsters, and you basically just want me to do what I'm already doing?"
"Pretty much," Tet said with a shrug.
Marcus nodded decisively. "Alright, I'm down. When do I meet my instructor?"
"Hold on just a second," Tet said, raising a hand.
A beam of light shot from Tet into Marcus's chest. Marcus staggered back a step, eyes widening. "Whoa, what was that?"
Tet lowered his hand calmly and said, "You now know the basics of Armament and Observation Haki. If you want Conqueror's Haki, you'll have to unlock it yourself, if you're lucky. That is. Now go have fun with your new teacher."
Before Marcus could respond, his body vanished in a flash of light, leaving the air crackling where he'd stood.
------
When his vision cleared, Marcus found himself standing in a small, circular arena. Dust hung faintly in the air, and a practice spear clattered to the ground at his feet.
A deep, commanding voice echoed across the space. "Arm yourself, boy."
Marcus slowly lifted his gaze. The sight before him made his throat tighten and his stomach drop. His hands trembled slightly as he swallowed hard and said, "I'm sorry about my dad, sir."
Kratos stepped forward, his presence alone pressing down like a physical weight. His expression was carved from stone as he said, "I will not hold your father's sins against you. However, it would be wise if you do not slack in your training."
Kratos turned and walked back to the opposite side of the arena, each step heavy and deliberate.
Marcus stared after him, knuckles whitening around the spear. Under his breath, barely louder than a whisper, he muttered, "I'm gonna die."
----
Tet hadn't returned to Orario yet. Instead, he chose to take care of one thing that had been bothering him for a while now.
A large number of arrogant gods had decided to use his domain as a means to decide the fate of humanity. That… did not sit well with the God of Games.
If those gods wanted a death game, they would get one.
But it would be played on his terms.
(Authors Note: Before any one makes suggestions I'm doing this one for fun and I'm only changing one fighter the rest will be reaction based but keep in mind I just did one tournament arc so don't expect me to spend more than a few chapters on this)
