The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 405 - Timeskip 11 Months...

[POV Reo] 

Nearly 11 months have passed since Flavia and Hela have left with Ardat and Hydriana… I visit them from time to time… at least when the two of them are free. 

Flavia's training was going to take a few years because she could learn something worthwhile from Hydriana but after watching Ardat's techniques and skills, Hela decided to continue learning from her… Hela readily agreed that she was just a beginner in front of Ardat.

To be honest, I missed Hela but there was no way that I was going to interrupt her training… both Hela was immortal as long as she was Death's Avatar, even if Death dies, Hela will remain immortal. 

As long as the Concept of Death exists in the Omniverse and Hela is still appointed as Death's Avatar, she will stay immortal. 

I was eternally youthful so I wasn't worried about getting old and a year won't mean shit in the long run… It's completely ignorable… everything considered. 

Luna also visits Flavia from time to time for their tea parties… Flavia has to work her fingers to the bone every day, though she didn't complain as she was getting to learn new things… she was completely determined if anything else. 

The rest of the girls aren't idle… Fleur and Jean had prepared a timetable to manage their time. Even though the girls were learning the Shinigami Arts, they didn't want to give up on cooking.

I also kept improving my cooking skills as I didn't want to lose to the girls when I already had a massive head start… in these months the girls have become extraordinary chefs… at least the girls who were interested. It was more than enough for them to enter Totsuki and breeze through their curriculum. 

Momo had decided to pick Japanese Cuisine as her speciality whereas Fleur had decided to go with French Cuisine. Luna was Luna… so she decided to go with the sweets, cakes, and deserts route. Ororo had decided to go with the Mughlai Cuisine… pretty odd but definitely interesting. 

Jean has decided to go with the Medicinal Cuisine… quite surprising right?? Yeah… I thought that too. Nat has decided to choose the versatile path… she didn't have any speciality like the others but she had quite a few masterpiece dishes in her arsenal. 

Now, it wasn't like the girls were hopeless in the other cuisines… they were good at making anything but they have decided to master a particular Cuisine except for Nat of course… she had decided to take the versatile route.

Well, it might seem like that the six of them became extraordinary chefs in just eleven months but that wasn't the case. I had to accelerate the Time around Knox multiple times to transform the girls into extraordinary chefs. 

I was also bringing them ingredients from a different world… hands down, the ingredients from the world of Toriko were the best. That is why I only brought those ingredients from time to time… or the girls won't get to improve their cooking styles. 

I understand those good ingredients are necessary for good food but there are other factors than good ingredients. I didn't want any of my girls turning into Mito Ikumi and thinking that ingredients are everything. 

Nemuri, Dora, and Rumi were only interested in eating food… not learning. So, we had an odd number of judges who could rate our food… My Food was always the best… I was finally reaching the realm of creating Foodgasms… I was talking about normal people… perverts don't count. *cough* Nemuri *cough*

While Momo, Fleur, Luna, Ororo, Jean, and Nat were busy with cooking, Nemuri, Rumi, and Dora were busy acquiring businesses and markets… Currently, the Kayama industry is the biggest business empire in the World and there is no one who doesn't know about Nemuri Kayama. 

Dora and Rumi simply help Nemuri with the Kayama industry… as Rumi is the one who manages the entertainment sector of business, like the Nightclubs, Theatres, Amusement Parks and stuff like that. Whereas Dora acts as a contact… with Dora's mimicking powers, it is pretty easy. 

Throughout these 11 months… Urahara and Yoruichi have been looking through the Karakura Town trying to find Luna or Knox but they weren't able to find either of them… this frustrated the two of them but there was something else that frustrated the two of them even more. 

Luna left some gifts and milk bottles in front of Urahara Shop from time to time along with a note but they weren't able to catch Luna in the act. I found this whole thing hilarious… I couldn't believe that Luna kept pranking Urahara and Yoruichi in such a manner.

I was also giving bones to Urahara from time to time… the residents of Urahara Shop were now absolutely certain about the existence of Asgard at some point in time. I have been leaving some clues here and there but I didn't give any information regarding Hela except for her name… which frustrated him even more. 

Hah… enough about the others… It took me approximately 5 months to master all the Kido Spells… and after that, I started to modify them. I started with Hado 96- Itto Kaso, I didn't want to lose my arm after the technique… that would have been pretty insulting. 

It took a whole month to modify Itto Kaso, so now I don't need to sacrifice my arm if I use that Hado… and Hanki was the hardest Kido Spell to master… as it kept changing with the Kido and Bakudo spells I wanted to nullify… 

Now, I was remaking the Kido Spells for the Physical Plane using the Magical Circles magic system… It was hectic but it would definitely be worth it. I have also achieved my Bankai in these months… but it is going to be a secret for now. 

All the girls including Hela have achieved their Shikai and Bankai… I was so proud of them. Only Flavia hasn't achieved Bankai as she was busy with her Magic training.

(A/N: I will slowly reveal their Shikais and Bankais with the progress of the story so don't ask me to reveal them now, publicly. If you want to know then you can DM me on Discord). 

Then my mind shifted towards a completely different topic. Only two days left until the Totsuki Entrance Exam… let's see how it turns out… 

[Kayama Shopping District, Sumire Town] 

"So… let me get this straight, you promised that we won't be going after their shop just because he blackmailed you with Food?" Dora hissed in anger. The black-haired woman sitting in front of Dora shuddered in fear. 

Usually, Dora was a nice and easy-going woman who was also a klutz. She did silly things and kept tripping around everywhere but she also had a snapping point… and the woman currently sitting in front of Dora has reached that point. 

Yaeko Minegasaki was an urban planner… Her team was hired by Kayama Industries to convince the shop owners to sell their shops to Kayama Industries so that they could expand their shopping district. 

Kayama Industries would have given a stall to the shop owners for free if they sold their plots. But the dumb woman had gone and promised that Kayama Industries aren't going to go after someone's shop and Dora simply wanted to Crucio that woman. 

"Who the fuck are you to make a promise using our company name?" Dora growled out and Yaeko shuddered in fear. "Did you forget that we simply hired you?" Dora hissed menacingly. 

"...Get the fuck out of my office…" Dora said coldly after a few moments. Yaeko remained frozen in her seat. Seeing that Dora shot her a venomous glare and Yaeko yelped in fear and ran out of the room… 

Dora released a sigh and started to rub her temples… she would never understand why some fool even hired such a stupid woman… if you are sabotaging a shop and asking for a particular dish then you shouldn't even bother to taste anything else… Dora pulled out her phone and called Nemuri. 

Nemuri wasn't happy after hearing Dora's story… Nemuri simply told Dora to fire the people who have hired that woman… it wasn't a huge loss for them or something like that but the stupid people can ruin your company… It wasn't anything personal, just business. 

Dora sighed once again after disconnecting the call… 'She said that the food was irresistible… I should have a look. Let's see if the woman was really dumb or the food is really that good' Dora thought and left the office… she could always fire the people after returning. 

Everyone greeted Dora through the office but Dora didn't bother to pay them any attention. She was rather busy being careful not wanting to trip and plant her face on the ground… 

Being haughty is understandable when you are a boss but being clumsy isn't… Dora released a huge sigh after she was finally out of the office. 

Dora quickly made her way to the parking lot… she did trip several times because of that and she even planted her face on the wall… it was one time but it happened. Dora was hurrying so much because she was excited to ride her bike… 

After a lot of convincing she was able to get Reo to buy a bike for her. She could have bought something on her own but Reo would have confiscated it so she had to take the hard route and she didn't even have to spend her own money… Yes, she felt really good. 

'Aww… I think I would have fallen in love if I wasn't in love with Reo' Dora cooed inside her mind, but she completely ignored the fact that she always kept falling. 

Dora climbed on the bike and picked up the helmet and put it on. She put in the key and the bike purred when she turned on the power… it was an electric bike but the company has added some features to the bike to make it feel like a normal racing bike.

Dora rode out of the Kayama shopping district. Her destination was the Sumiredori Shopping District… It only took a few minutes for Dora to arrive in the said shopping district as it wasn't that far from the Kayama Shopping District. 

Dora finally located the diner… She did have to ask a couple of people for directions though. Dora got off the bike and noticed that the store was closed so simply knocked on the door… she could sense a boy inside the store. Only after a few moments, a red-haired boy came out. 

The boy carefully watched the woman in front of her, the woman had bright purple hair and scarlet eyes… "...Hello, how can I help you?" After a small pause, the boy asked Dora. 

"Is the store closed?" Dora asked and the boy simply nodded his head. 

"Yes… I will be attending Totsuki so I can't attend the store…" the boy said and Dora nodded her head. 

"Ah… Totsuki… I will be seeing you then… a pity that I didn't get to taste your food after coming all the way here…" Dora said with a smile and walked away from the shop. 

If the kid was going to Totsuki then she could always show up as a judge… the boy simply kept staring at the form of the retreating woman with a bewildered look on his face…
