Haimer leaned back, tapping the armrest in a steady rhythm.
In the world called Armed Girl's Machiavellism, these two were unquestionably top-tier choices—if he wanted to build a Familia.
First: Inaba Tsukuyo.
To ordinary people, blindness would seem like a fatal flaw—proof that the gods had abandoned her, a limitation that doomed any hope of greatness.
But in Haimer's eyes, it was precisely the opposite: a window left open by fate.
Human senses interfere with one another. When vision monopolizes the mind's attention, people miss the subtle flow of wind, the trembling of muscle, the split-second stillness in the air before killing intent erupts.
There was an old saying: too many colors blind the eyes.
Overwhelming light and shadow could obscure the direct "heart-eye" that touched the essence of things.
Tsukuyo lost her sight—and in doing so, her hearing evolved into something monstrous.
She could hear the entire academy breathe.
In Orario's Dungeon—where visibility was often obstructed and the environment was chaotic—that level of perception was a gift made for survival and slaughter.
And then there was her style: Yakumaru Jikenden-Ryuu—
A mad swordsman's art that discarded defense, chasing only speed and the ultimate draw.
Its defining principle was one strike, certain death.
The first slash decided everything. If the opponent survived the first blade, the second would be seen through, and defeat was inevitable.
A girl who could not see the world, yet wielded the fastest sword.
Contradiction like that often birthed monsters that shattered common sense.
If she received a Blessing, that "extraordinary hearing" could very well evolve into a rare skill akin to Mind's Eye.
A true S-rank prospect.
Second: Amou Zanzan.
If Tsukuyo was a blade sheathed in darkness, Zanzan was a fully drawn weapon—an iron hammer that existed only to crush.
"The Empress" was not an empty title.
She had defeated the so-called Five Swords Under Heaven one by one, then ascended to rule the academy's peak alone.
Her martial art—Ryukyuan Ancient Martial Arts: Uechi-Ryuu—pursued the ultimate training of the flesh.
A girl who could forge her own body into a weapon had obvious value.
More important still was her mentality—
That arrogance, that hunger to challenge the strong.
It was the core drive of every top-class adventurer.
A lion did not herd with sheep.
To "tame" an Empress like this, ordinary tricks were meaningless. Only overwhelming strength could make her lower her proud head willingly.
"One is the fusion of the strongest shield and spear. The other is speed and perception taken to the extreme."
"I'll have to meet them personally."
This was the decision a Familia god had to make—especially one who intended to stand at the summit of Orario.
In a world of competition, one slow step meant endless delay.
If the system offered an opportunity, he would seize the best prospects with thunderous momentum.
Potential wasn't merely current strength—it was the possibility of breaking destiny's restraints.
"System."
Haimer stood and straightened a collar that didn't exist. He was still wearing plain linen, yet his aura sharpened—as if he stood in divine armor, above the clouds.
"Lock world coordinate S-14."
"Open the transfer gate."
"Destination: Aichi Coexistence Academy."
[Command confirmed.]
[World coordinate locked: S-14 — Aichi Coexistence Academy.]
[Host divinity is sealed in the Lower World. Cross-world transfer will consume system reserves…]
[Transfer ready.]
[Countdown: 3… 2… 1…]
As the cold countdown ended, the once-still space inside Haimer's temple rippled violently.
A blue gate opened out of nowhere and swallowed his figure whole.
The next instant, the temple returned to dead silence.
Only the recruitment sign lay on the floor, alone in the dust.
S-14.
Aichi Coexistence Academy.
It was early afternoon. Sunlight filtered through lush leaves, casting broken shadows on the walls of the school buildings.
The academy carried an uncanny atmosphere.
Girls wore neat uniforms—but weapons hung at their waists or rested on their backs.
And the boys…
Most kept their heads down, faces plastered in gaudy makeup, shrinking away from the girls' gazes like frightened quail.
This was the academy's unique "correctional" rule.
But in a corner of campus—within a high-level area known as the "Principal's Office"—
The air was heavy.
A figure stood silently before a massive floor-to-ceiling window, looking down on the students below as if they were ants.
A tall black-haired girl, eyes sharp as blades, arrogance carved into her very posture.
Amou Zanzan.
The Empress of Aichi Coexistence Academy was experiencing something she had not felt in a long time:
Boredom.
Yes—
Boredom.
When someone stood at the top of the pyramid, looked out across the world, and found no one left worth fighting, the loneliness of that height gnawed at the soul.
The Five Swords?
Slightly stronger than average—nothing more.
A queen in a small cage was still only a frog at the bottom of a well.
Human desire had no end.
Once survival was secured, once the summit of power was reached, the craving for something higher grew wild like weeds.
She craved opponents.
The kind that made blood boil, made the heart pound, even brought back the long-forgotten sensation of fear.
Only at the edge of life and death did existence blaze with its brightest light.
That was why people chased extremes—why they climbed peaks that seemed impossible to conquer.
Because atop those cliffs lay a landscape the ordinary would never see.
…
"So boring."
Just as Zanzan sank into that hollow solitude—
Something changed.
Without warning.
The clear sky split open.
Not dark clouds. Not thunder and lightning.
It was as if someone had taken invisible scissors and sliced the very fabric of the heavens, tearing a vast seam across the blue.
Azure radiance poured from the rift, instantly bathing the entire academy.
The light was not blinding—yet it carried a majesty no one could meet with their eyes.
Like a higher-dimensional being peering down into a tiny world through a crack.
All movement on campus stopped.
Girls mid-swing with bamboo swords, boys hiding in corners, teachers preparing lessons—everyone instinctively looked up, faces blank with shock.
At the center of that light—
A figure slowly appeared.
