章節 9: Travelling
A man by the name of David had just left his home. From the looks of it, he looked quite a normal human being. However, he is hiding a big secret!
He is a mage! Not any mage! But the leader of the Mage Association in Baltic Countries!
The man recently has been quite happy. His scheme to get rid of Campione, born in his lands, went down smoothly!
In just a few hours, the plane carrying the family and the Campione himself will fly away!
However, at that moment, the sky crackled, and thunder rumbled in clear skies. David stopped in his tracks.
He quickly looked around. Immediately after, sweat started to run down his forehead. Panic started to settle in as he didn't see anything!
Before he could start running away, a bright light could be seen in the sky, which signified a thunder strike. The next moment, thunderstruck right into him, and David collapsed on the ground! His whole body twitched and spasmed.
What followed next was several choreographed thunder strikes into the ground next to David's spasming body.
After all, the strike was powerful, but it wasn't meant to kill the mortal.
More like teaching a lesson.
The whole thing lasts a few seconds. By the time David's subordinates rushed over, they all looked at his figure with terrified ghastly looks.
Some of them were pissed right on the spot, while some of the females simply passed out.
Then they saw what was written on the ground with scorching marks of thunder strikes.
*I know what you did!
so thanks!*
The first line was extremely ominous! To the point which sends the people running away in fear!
Campione knew that his parents were manipulated! This was like a death sentence. Even if he isn't killing them, they will have to live in fear.
And this was enough for them just to scramble away and run!

"Is there a reason why we are flying to the UK first?" Erica asked Raynor as they were inside a comfortable bus which would take them to the biggest airport in his country.
"I am pretty sure Heathrow Airport is the only one which has those Airbus liners which can fly long distances."
"...We could have taken a plane to Moscow and then taken another one to Qatar or Saudi Arabia and then from one of those to Tokyo." She reasoned with him.
"Or… take the plane to London and then take a plane to Singapore, which will take us to Tokyo after."
She sighed and then just rolled her eyes.
"Or I could have taken my family's private jet, and we could have flown at our leisure." She said that with an exaggerated sigh.
"Now, where is the wonder of travelling if we just spend the whole time on the plane?" He said while shaking his head in disappointment.
"To your knowledge, I have already travelled the world multiple times. Such a thing comes with my line of work."
"Well, then, you can be my guide." He said with a smirk as he pulled her closer. This made Erica adjust a little bit before she got comfortable in his one-hand hug.
"I think you just want to fly that Airbus, and you threatened people to make it happen." She said softly into his ear.
"Who knows, who knows~" He didn't deny it, which made the blonde realise that he is starting to get into Campione's persona. Unreasonable and weird to some degree.
The journey to the airport wasn't long; over 40 minutes after that, there were around 2 hours of checkups since the amount of luggage they had was quite a bit. Erica's including. Then walking through the border control. Eventually, they were sitting in the waiting room
Their flight number is FF2445 to London Stansted, which takes around 2.5 hours. Once they are there, they will take another bus to London Heathrow.
This is again around an hour and a half, followed by more checkups and waiting, which is another bunch of hours, normally, this would be annoying for someone like Raynor, but he is going to Japan, and his attention most of the time is on his beautiful girlfriend.
Once they boarded the plane and it was in the air, the teen Godslayer felt weird.
"What's wrong?" Erica asked him as she noticed him getting confused for a bit.
Instead of answering normally, he pulled her closer and whispered.
"It's strange to fly but not fly by myself. It's like standing on thin glass material which could crack at any moment." He said that to her while trying to put feelings into words.
"...that's… I don't know how to put it into words."
"Exactly… this is why we need to cuddle." He said that with another teasing tone as he pulled the blonde closer to himself and tried to snooze while forgetting the silly feeling he had.
~~~
Once they arrived in London. Erica's phone vibrated. She pulled it out and checked the message. A sigh escaped from her lips.
"Ray. Someone wants to meet you."
"Oh? Here in the UK? We won't be staying here for long. Hell, our bus is leaving in 10 minutes." He said with an eye roll.
"I know. This is why she wants to set up a meeting at your leisure." The blonde said as she looked at her phone for a bit before returning her gaze to him.
"And who is she?"
"The most powerful Hime-Miko in the world. She wants to see the recently born Campione and offer her services when possible."
"Hime-Miko, as in Shrine Princess?"
"Yes. It's a term first created by the Japanese, and it spread throughout the world. Shrine Princesses like Alice, the one who wants to see you, have abilities like seeing the future and seeing certain elements like telling what kind of authorities Campiones or Heretic Gods have. As well as other multitude of abilities, and Princess Alice is the strongest of them all." Erica described this Hime-Miko.
"Interesting…"
As he said that, he pulled out his phone and checked the timetable.
"Well, we have around 2 hours of free time once we arrive at Heathrow. It will be up to you, Erica, to make sure my parents are distracted."
"That won't be necessary as she has magic means to appear. All I need is to distract some people and allow her to appear."
"She will use a projection because her health condition is not the best, thanks to her incredible powers."
"Oh? Is she one of those who are born with incredible power at the price of body constitution?" Raynor said that with a thoughtful look. He could solve this issue. But first, he needs to see her in person and see if it would be a worthy addition to his court.
"Yes. She barely has the strength to move with her true body. Though be careful. England has a King of their own. He is unique from the rest." She then mentioned England having a King since this right time for that.
"All of them are unique. So far, I heard about a martial artist nut, a vampire/werewolf, sword junkie, a superhero cosplayer which for some reason I haven't seen on TV…."
"Yes, there is a nun as well. However, the British King likes borrowing items…" Erica, of hand, mentioned the British King's kink.
"Great, so this one is a thief…" He said with an eye roll.
"Yes. So I doubt you will have much contact with him."
"Unless he wants to steal my games and manga stash…." He quite seriously said that, which made a thunder rumble in the skies.
Erica just rolled her eyes when she saw his reaction.
Here it is; she finally found what makes him tick. To make matters worse, they are now going to the place where all of this started! The culture of mangas and anime.
"I doubt he cares… he could just get ownership of studios which could make stuff for him if he is interested…."
At that moment, Raynor's world stopped still, and he looked at his blonde girlfriend.
"You are a genius! Such a grand idea!" As he said that, he grabbed her and kissed her lips hotly for a few moments.
Erica's eyes bulged out from such a random action! It took her a moment before she grasped what had just happened. Sure enough, she answered back to his kiss.
After this was over, Raynor set up the meeting, which would happen shortly. He wants to know why she decided to meet him on such short notice.
He didn't need to wait for long as a blonde girl with green dressed in a white dress took her seat next to him in the bus waiting lobby!
Raynor realised that this was quite a useful ability!
"Greetings, Your Highness. It is an honour to meet the newest King." The girl slightly lowered her head as she introduced herself.
"My name is Alice Louise Goddodin, and I am the speaker of British Magic Organisation Witenagemot."
As someone who is not used to such official stuff, the only thing he could say is:
"Ok? Nice to meet you then. I am wondering why you wanted to meet me at such an abrupt moment." Raynor asked her as he was curious about her projection. His senses were telling him that she was a construct of two energies of some sort.
"I do apologise for this. As an apology gift, I have some information for you."
Her words have raised Campione's attention.
"Before I tell you what this is, I wanted to meet you and figure out what kind of Campione you are. People from mainland Europe are already calling you the Storm King, what I have heard."
"Storm… King? Now that sounds— cool!" He said that with a slightly wondering look.
Alice smiled slightly, hearing that; she already figured out that he has that fascination for 'cool' things. From there, she can already figure out the curve of his personality to a certain extent.
"Yes. You were given this name after we got reports that you can control the weather—"
Before she could finish, she noticed that it started raining.
"Yes, they are not wrong. So do tell me did I pass your 'test'?"
For a second, she pouted at him.
"I suppose you are better than Alec… anyway, I do hope we can be on friendly terms. I can give you some information from time to time. In turn, you can deal with Heretic Gods for us." She said that with a smile.
"...and how does that going to work? I will be in Japan, and you will be in the UK. Not to mention your Lands already have a King."
She waved her hand as if it were nothing.
"Our King does his own thing. You look more responsible than he is."
'Wow, that some dislike for him….' He thought with a sweat drop.
"We shall see. I can't promise something like that casually." Raynor didn't agree or denied. Information is another power which one should never have enough of.
"I understand. I will contact you when you are not on the other side of the globe. And we can continue this discussion. Now let me tell you what I promised before."
The Godslayer slowly nodded at her and waited to hear what she would say.
"When you slew those two fighting Heretic Gods, it has sent waves through the supernatural world.
More specifically, Heretic Gods are related to those who may or may not descend to face you. However, I am leaning towards that they will descend because what you slew are big shots, are they not?"
As she said that, she looked at his facial expression. All she got was a sigh.
"It seems my darling Erica was right. You just confirmed that."
Alice slightly blinked.
'Darling? Did he succeed in making current generation Diavolo Roso his girlfriend?' As the blonde Princess thought about this at the back of her head, she quickly spoke.
"So those Heretic Gods were powerful, were they not?"
He nodded at her.
"Then there is a high possibility that you will have visitors." She said with a nod of her own.
"I see. My thanks, Alice, for the warning."
She slightly blinked when she heard that!
Campione is thanking her like that!?
"No. It's my thanks for agreeing to meet on such short notice."
As she said that, she got on her feet before doing a small bow.
"I should go. I don't want to take more of your time."
"Very well."
After saying that, Raynor got on his feet as well. Moments later, Alice simply disappeared like a ghost.
