The entrance building was massive — polished marble floors, towering glass windows, and the school's emblem carved above the doors like it guarded the future of every student who passed under it.
Ana swallowed nervously.
Gia nudged her with a reassuring grin. "Relax. Zumi's here. You'll be fine."
Zumi pushed open the front doors, holding them for all the girls as they walked into the exam building together. Uniformed staff checked IDs, handed out room numbers, and guided everyone to their designated classrooms.
They separated — except Gia, who ended up in the same room as Zumi.
Before the first exam even began, the building buzzed with tension.
But Zumi?
He sat with complete calm. Like someone who already knew he passed.
Then quietly, without looking at anyone…
he activated telepathy.
His mind connected instantly to:
• Sakura
• Jasmine
• Ana • Gia
• Kathy
• Kasumi
• Hina
• Leafa
• Serafina
• Bia
• Carmella
• Bethany
• Reina
• Catherine
Each connection lit up like a warm golden thread in his consciousness.
Zumi (telepathy): "Alright. If you get stuck, I'll help. We move as one, we pass as one."
The girls' relief flowed through the bond.
Ana: "Thank you… seriously."
Sakura: "Zumi… you're too good to us…"
Catherine: "I've never taken real exams like this. Thank you."
Gia chimed in confidently: "I'll help too. Let's crush it."
⭐ Day 1 — Math & Science
When the test began, Zumi flipped through every question in under three minutes.
Equations. Trick problems. Advanced concepts.
His brain — blessed by Sun Wukong's divine intelligence — sliced through everything effortlessly.
He finished the entire test in record-breaking time.
The proctor blinked at him.
Proctor: "…Are you sure you're done?"
Zumi just smiled. "Yes."
He spent the rest of the hour helping the girls telepathically.
Gia finished second and also assisted everyone.
Between the two of them, the girls breezed through the toughest problems.
⭐ Day 2 — History & Literature
Zumi's memory worked like an eternal archive.
He read each passage once. Understood everything instantly.
Zumi (telepathy): "Sakura, question 12 — answer is C. The treaty only applied after the third conflict."
Sakura: "Oh! Right! Thank you!"
Hina: "Zumi… what's the main motif in Question 17?"
Zumi: "Light representing moral choice."
They all smiled quietly in their seats, knowing they were completely safe under his guidance.
⭐ Day 3 — Physical Examination
This was where everyone shined.
Ana stunned every instructor with her martial talent. Catherine crushed every strength test. Gia and Jasmine showed insane agility. Sakura shocked instructors with flexibility and balance. Kathy showed soldier-level conditioning. Leafa, still regaining strength, displayed elegant natural movement. Hina passed smoothly. Reina and the vampire girls impressed easily.
Zumi?
He masked himself.
He moved casually… but even then:
Instructors whispered: "Perfect performance." "Effortless movement." "Endurance… beyond human."
⭐ Day 4 — Additional Written Exams
This day was a combination of advanced logic tests, reading comprehension, analytical thinking, foreign language basics, and applied reasoning.
Zumi, again, finished first — flawlessly.
Gia finished right behind him.
Through telepathy, they helped the girls understand anything they found confusing. The instructors watching the room had no idea half the test-takers were working like one unified mind linked by the strongest telepath in modern existence.
⭐ Day 5 — Final Exam Day
By the fifth day, the girls felt totally confident.
They trusted Zumi's telepathic network. They trusted their own growth. They trusted each other.
Zumi completed every exam in shocking time once more, then spent the rest of the time supporting the others.
When the final bell rang on the fifth day, staff addressed everyone:
"Results will be available in ten days. Scholarships and rankings will be posted publicly."
They all nodded confidently.
They knew they had done extraordinary work.
As soon as they stepped outside, Zumi gathered everyone.
Zumi: "You all worked hard. Let's celebrate."
He teleported them subtly to a luxury movie theater — using the ring so normal humans couldn't detect it.
The movie he chose?
"The Legend of Sun Wukong — The Fireborn King."
A high-budget retelling of Monkey King mythos.
The moment the fiery, god-tier Monkey King appeared on screen — looking almost identical to Zumi's divine form — every girl slowly turned toward him.
One by one.
Eyes wide.
Mouths slightly open.
Gia whispered: "…That is literally you."
Bia smirked. "Obviously."
Serafina leaned back, arms crossed. "They captured maybe 1% of his presence."
Catherine stared at Zumi… then at the screen… then back.
"…my man is the Monkey King." "My man."
Hina nudged Sakura. "Look. Even the annoyed expression is identical."
Sakura nodded shyly. "He's cooler than the movie version…"
Reina leaned forward in awe. "Oh, that transformation scene? That's Zumi. That is EXACTLY his aura."
Carmella whispered to Bethany: "That's him." "Yup. That's our man with fire."
Leafa smiled softly. "They have no idea how accurate they are."
Jasmine didn't speak for a long time… Then murmured:
"…That's him."
Meanwhile, Zumi calmly ate popcorn like this wasn't a cinematic documentary about his past life.
Morning sunlight slid through the mansion's curtains like quiet golden rivers.
Everyone else was awake.
Gia and Sakura were practicing stretches. Ana and Kathy were cleaning their weapons. Kasumi helped Leafa braid her long green hair. Bia and Serafina sat on the couch, casually bickering like sisters. Catherine lounged with Jasmine and Reina, chatting softly. Hina was asleep on the recliner again.
It was peaceful.
The whole mansion hummed with domestic warmth.
Except—
Zumi was still asleep.
And nobody dared wake him.
Catherine whispered: "He never sleeps in like this…"
Bia shrugged. "He's been training nonstop. Let him rest."
Gia added quietly: "He deserves one morning."
Everyone agreed and continued with their day…
When suddenly—
⭐ 10:00 AM — THE SYSTEM SPEAKS
A chime rang.
Not aloud.
Not through the air.
But inside Zumi's soul.
A celestial, crystalline tone.
Then—
✨ [ PRIVATE SYSTEM TRANSMISSION — FOR ZUMI ONLY ] ✨
Celestia's voice flowed through him, soft yet carrying cosmic gravity:
"Zumi… your time has come."
Zumi stirred slightly in his sleep.
A breath. A shift. A flicker of golden-orange energy beneath his skin.
Celestia continued:
"Your human form is reaching the limit of mortal structure."
Another pulse moved through his chest, glowing under his ribs like a star waking up.
Serafina's eyes in the living room narrowed.
"…did you feel that?"
Bia nodded sharply. "That wasn't just energy. That was pressure."
Catherine sat up straight. "That came from his room."
The girls stared toward the hallway, sensing something changing.
Celestia's voice deepened with sacred authority:
"In order to contain your future Monkey King Transformation… your HUMAN form must evolve."
A surge of divine heat radiated from Zumi's room.
Not destructive. Not dangerous.
But ancient. Primordial. King-like.
Leafa gasped softly as vines sprouted in the kitchen bowl beside her.
"That's… his aura."
Kasumi trembled. "That's not normal divine energy…"
Hina jolted awake, looking around wildly. "Wh—what happened?!"
Jasmine whispered, eyes wide:
"…Zumi."
Inside the room, Celestia's voice rang again:
✨ [ AWAKENING NOTICE ] ✨ "Your Human Transformation is evolving into a Divine Human Transformation."
A golden halo flickered around Zumi's sleeping body.
"This is a required metamorphosis so your body can withstand the full awakening of Sun Wukong's Bloodline."
Zumi's fingers twitched. His breathing deepened. The bedframe vibrated slightly, unable to hold the divine pressure building.
Celestia explained:
"Once this begins, you cannot stop it. Your human shell must evolve to match the king you will become."
Outside his door, the temperature rose just enough for the girls to notice.
Gia placed a hand to her chest. "…His aura… It's changing."
Serafina whispered with reverence:
"That's not just divine energy… That is a transformation."
Bia stood up fully, eyes glowing. "Girls… the Monkey King inside him is waking."
Catherine swallowed hard, excitement shivering through her.
"My man… is ascending again."
Leafa whispered, hands clasped:
"The system is reshaping his human body to be fit for a god."
Even Hina, usually shy and quiet, whispered one awed word:
"…Zumi."
Zumi's body glowed faintly under the blankets.
Amber. Gold. Black fire flickering around his fingertips. Symbols forming and dissolving across his skin like living tattoos.
Celestia's final message echoed:
"Prepare yourself, Zumi Gold. Your divine-human metamorphosis has begun. When you next open your eyes… you will not be the same."
The room flashed with light—
and the awakening officially began.
⭐ 10:01 AM — The Awakening Begins
Zumi slept peacefully, unaware of the divine storm rising beneath his skin.
Then—
A pulse.
A deep, resonant BOOM echoed inside his chest, like the strike of a celestial war drum.
It didn't wake him out of fear— but out of destiny.
In the living room downstairs, every girl froze.
Leafa's head snapped toward the hallway. "…that was his divine core."
Bia stood immediately. "He's transforming. I can feel the force building."
Serafina's eyes turned black-violet, shadows swirling at her feet. "His essence is rewriting itself."
Catherine swallowed hard, her heart pounding. "That's my man…"
Gia whispered, almost reverently:
"He's evolving."
Golden-orange light began to spread beneath Zumi's skin, glowing through like molten metal rising beneath obsidian glass.
His muscles tightened, reshaping with impossible symmetry and divine precision— not growing larger, but becoming perfect, refined, sculpted by celestial law.
His skin deepened into a rich, striking tone, warm and shadowed, as though lit from within by smoldering embers.
His hair darkened, thick and chaotic, with faint streaks of fiery orange glowing like molten threads woven into the strands.
His eyes opened halfway…
And gleamed with pure gold. Not yellow. Not metallic.
Golden like the eyes of an ancient king who remembered every war he had ever won.
Then markings began forming— ink-black, metallic, swirling across his neck and curling down his shoulder and chest. They looked carved by a divine artisan, sharp and elegant, like runes shaped from dragon-scale patterns and celestial flames.
His right hand turned entirely black— not charred, but regal— etched with glowing gold lines that seemed alive beneath the skin.
Celestia's voice whispered:
"Step one complete… Human vessel reinforced."
⭐ 10:02 AM — The Girls Reaction
In the living room, the pressure intensified.
Kasumi trembled slightly. "He feels… unreal…"
Reina's breath hitched. "He feels like a force of nature."
Bethany clung to Carmella. "What is happening to him?"
Carmella whispered: "Divinity… pure divinity."
Hina peeked from behind Serafina, smiling softly. "He feels… warm."
Leafa touched her heart, smiling with deep pride. "He's becoming who he is meant to be."
Bia grinned like a warrior excited for battle. "That's the Monkey King waking up."
Serafina's voice dropped to a dark purr. "And he is magnificent."
Catherine simply stared at the hallway, breathless.
"…he's becoming even more powerful than I imagined."
⭐ A NEW SYSTEM MODULE AWAKENS
Inside Zumi's soul, a panel formed—radiant, ornate, divine:
✨ [ NEW SYSTEM MODULE: OUTFIT CHANGER — DIVINE EDITION ] ✨ Unlocked through transformation.
Celestia spoke:
"Zumi, your divine form requires attire befitting a king. Allow me to equip you."
Golden threads swirled in the air. Shadows folded inward. Fabric manifested from pure divine energy.
A whirl of light engulfed him—
He rose from the bed slowly, transformation settling through him like the final stroke of a masterpiece.
And now he stood transformed:
His appearance:
A perfectly fitted black suit formed around his body, sharp-lined, impossibly clean, crafted with divine precision. A dark vest beneath it hugged his torso, highlighting the sculpted divine build beneath. Gold accents shimmered subtly along the edges—neither flashy nor loud, but commanding, as though forged from celestial ore. Multiple elegant gold chains rested against his chest, glowing faintly with inner power. His right hand was covered in intricate black-and-gold markings, reaching from his fingertips to his forearm like sacred armor grown into his skin. A golden watch wrapped his wrist, the face glowing faintly with divine timekeeping energy. His hair was wild, dark, tousled, with streaks of ember-like orange glowing faintly between the strands. His eyes… golden, ancient, filled with calm fire.
His mere presence changed the air— smooth… controlled… but undeniably dangerous.
Celestia whispered:
"Phase One Complete. Zumi Gold — your Divine Human Form is now active."
The house trembled— not violently, but with a warm, low hum, like reality itself was adjusting to a new presence.
Every girl paused.
Every conversation stopped mid-sentence.
Every heart skipped a beat.
Then—
his bedroom door opened.
And Zumi stepped out.
Slowly. Calmly. Like a king who had always existed this way.
Bia
Her jaw literally dropped.
Her aura flickered in shock.
"Oh… my… GOD…"
She stepped forward, pupils dilating as she took in every detail of his new form.
"That is not fair—how does anyone look that powerful just by… standing?"
Serafina
Her shadows coiled around her feet like serpents tightening in excitement.
A dark grin spread across her lips.
"Now that… is a man who could command an entire world and make it kneel willingly."
Her voice dripped with sinful pride.
Leafa
Her hands flew to her mouth, eyes shimmering.
"He looks like divinity carved into mortal shape…"
She blushed—hard.
Hina
Her face turned cherry red.
"H-His aura— i-it feels warm and terrifying at the same time…"
She hid behind Serafina again, peeking with wide violet eyes.
Kasumi
Her sword spirit trembled.
"My lord… you feel like a king."
She bowed without thinking, then quickly stood upright, flustered.
Gia
She blinked once.
Twice.
"Okay, I know he was strong before… but this? This is illegal."
She fanned her face dramatically.
Jasmine
She froze completely— then softly whispered:
"…beautiful."
Kathy
Her security instincts screamed danger.
Her heart screamed something else entirely.
"That presence… he could silence a battlefield just by breathing."
Catherine
She felt her knees nearly buckle.
"That… that's my man…?"
Her breath left her body.
"He was already perfect—how did he get more perfect??"
She covered her mouth with the back of her hand, trembling.
Carmella & Bethany
Both vampires fell silent.
Then Bethany squeaked:
"He—he smells divine—like actual divine energy—Carmella he smells TOO GOOD—"
Carmella stared, voice soft:
"His power is… endless."
Reina
She blinked slowly, stunned into silence.
"…Holy shit…"
Then composed herself.
"I mean—welcome back, Zumi."
But she could NOT stop looking.
He surveyed them all, eyes molten gold, expression calm and impossibly confident.
Then he spoke—
And his voice…
Deep. Smooth. Husky enough to send chills down spines. Controlled. Authoritative. Dangerous in a quiet, elegant way.
Every syllable vibrated through the air like a bass note from the gods.
"Good morning… my loves."
The girls nearly collapsed.
Leafa literally grabbed the counter to stay standing.
Kasumi's knees trembled.
Gia whispered:
"His voice… HIS VOICE—"
Bia gulped audibly.
Serafina let out a low hum of approval.
Catherine's heart stopped.
With each step, the floor felt warmer— not burned, not pressured— but blessed by divine presence.
His aura was masked, controlled… yet even suppressed, it carried elegance and danger intertwined.
He looked at them all, slowly, deliberately.
His golden eyes softened.
"Don't be afraid."
Hina squeaked. "W-We're not afraid—!"
Serafina smirked. "She says while trembling."
Zumi chuckled softly— and even his laugh sounded divine.
Every girl felt it differently:
Bia felt strength multiplying.
Serafina felt shadows sharpening.
Leafa felt nature bloom inside her chest. Gia felt her shadows humming.
Catherine felt her heart syncing to his aura.
Kasumi felt her sword spirit kneel.
Reina felt her instincts lock onto him as alpha.
Carmella and Bethany felt their vampiric senses drown in his divinity.
Even Jasmine—usually reserved—began blushing furiously.
He glanced around at all of them, a faint smile on his lips.
His new voice lowered, wrapped in darkness and honey:
"I'm still me… Just stronger."
A collective shiver went through the room.
Catherine whispered:
"…I'm in trouble…"
Serafina leaned toward her.
"Oh yes. We all are."
But they were all smiling.
Because this wasn't fear.
This was awe. Devotion. Love. Desire. Pride.
Their man— their God— their King—
Had awakened.
