Hi Cosmic Sky! I hope you've been doing well! finally getting around to review the most recent chapter!
The world building continues to grow in your story as we learn more about Libra. It really is amazing how much you've expanded the lore in unique ways, whether it's the varous families or organizations like these. Even the most background characters like names and ranks behind the Libra or police characters; it's always crazy how much research and work you do fleshing out this world. Asahi's entourage for example were all very detailed; Kaishi sounds like my favorite if only because of his Japanese sword. The evil scientist reminds me of Hojo from Final Fantasy 7.
As always, it's so lovely to see Ririko's growth. She's come such a long way from the beginning but, in your story, there was always more depth to her in the first place. Her "holy" whip is a fun way to power her up while maintaining her dominatrix tendancies. More than that, I love seeing her continue to grow as a character. While I'm sure she's had love in the past, it's clearly not something that comes by so often and, mixed in with her extremely eccentric tendences and reputation, not to mention that math and education are her true loves, it's always so endearing seeing this very grown bombshell of a woman act like a school girl experiencing her first crush. Sazama's heartbreaking story about shooting your shot, but also exactly what this budding romance needs. Regardless of her past actions, her true form, her status as a teacher, or the age gap between herself and Tsukune, she deserves love and happiness. All the faculty, even the headmaster himself, is onboard with it; and it's nothing Tsukune's family wouldn't have had to come to terms with if he settled with Moka.
The idea of a Hell Gate reminds me strongly of Devil May Cry where they are often used by the villains to unleash hellspawn on Earth. The rest of the chapter and the rescue was really exciting! I like how Tsukune made sure that all the other prisoners could get out. The reunion between Tsukune and Ririko was so sweet and I love how they really both seem on the same level as each other. She's on a first-name basis with him and his experiences have only made him much more mature. I love how she ended up using her Lamia powers to save him! that was something I had expected!
It was a very exciting chapter! very well done and looking forward to the next chapter!

Easr up on The Pedo Implications of Gender Roles Were Reversed This Would not Fly.
Does not Help That Tsukune is a Student.. The relationship would be acceptable Is if he graduated early became a staff member.

Damn, that was an intense chapter! Loved seeing Ririko in action, as well as Tsukune finally getting a chance at freedom.
Interesting use of her lamia form to syphon the Stix from Tsukune. Could be interesting if that has more repercussions down the road.
Libra is an interesting organization, and I very much like how you've set them up in story. Thanks again for another great chapter!

Love the chapter, can’t wait to see what happens next. Though I am curious about the girls from the club.

I just had a thought. Have the girls of the newspaper club caught wind of any of Tsukune’s fights? I think Kurumu should know due to her aunt.

Happy to see the next chapter of this story!
I'm happy that much of this chapter was once again through Ririko's perspective. It's so important since she's the the the other protagonist of this story and every chapter deepens her character in a way that neither the anime/manga had. Her affection for Tsukune is starting to mirror the many girls he's saved. It's taken longer because she's older than him and his teacher, but her grieving and willingness to go this far to save him speaks volumes of her feelings for her. My theory is that there is absolutely still hope for him to take back at least some of the innocence that he used to be, whether through methods like a Holy Lock or Ririko using her tail to only think of what she puts into him like during his infamous tutoring session with her - in this case, memories of who he used to be prior to Yokohama. I loved the friendship between her, Horiguchi and Shizuka. The faculty at Yokai were always very underdeveloped and, even this deep in the story, I can't help but feel it's refreshing to see them so fleshed out, supportive of Tsukune, and supportive of each other. So many of the teachers in the anime/manga never made it past their one-note villain roles, it's wonderful to see them act so normal and talking about everything from marriage or their own romantic ventures. It's downright adorable to see Ririko actually snooping on Tsukune as if she were Mizore!
It's good to see that Tsukune, in his own way, is trying to thrive in this current environment. He has some friends like Miyumi and cares enough about the others to try and get them better sleeping quarters. It's a side to him that Ririko and the others don't realize he still has yet. It's good that he's not completely alone and there are new friends who care about him and are trying to support him. Miyumi reminds me a bit of his cousin. It speaks volumes to just how much stronger Tsukune has become if he could truly take on Fairy Tale by himself at this point, nevermind the Public Safety Committee or virtually anyone at the school including Inner Moka herself. It's like it was touched on last chapter: the Styx is completely unending the status quo on it's head. It's not surprising that Tsukune is now conversing with dark goddesses. When ordinary humans can be as strong as dragons and take apart vampires with ease, the world is now a much more dangerous and scary place.
Ririko and Shizuka's conversation was adorable. Ririko finally crossed the threshold in admitting to herself that she genuinely is in love with Tsukune. Something that I noticed is how one student was worried and asking for him. I'm happy that even students that Tsukune doesn't personally know are aware of him, his positive reputation, and worry for him. He's affected so much more of the school than he even realizes. For the darkness of his chapter, it actually ended more hopeful and positive than I expected. Tsukune has a small support group even in his situation and it's a matter of seeing if he can be rescued before his fight with Kurokaze or if that's inevitable. I don't think he's quite out of the woods yet and I'm expecting a few more crazy fights before he's safely rescued.
Very well done and looking forward to the next chapter!

I'm not sure The Pairing stuff . I feel that if he is legally allowed to marry at sixteen at least And he graduates early And become a staff member of Yokai Academy then it Woyld be Is appropriate
The relationship between A student and teacher is not acceptable and not appropriate.. You can't Say they are equal If they are underage student and teacher.
Honeatly If you want the relationship to , at least try to do the book , where is more appropriate.
Mikogami Should Make Tsukune Apart of The Staff Especially For many reasons But partly because Tsukune was Kidnapped And the experimented on under his Nose..
I really hope this brings about more character development regarding The head master Mikogami And him realizing That his authority is not really respected. It's going to have to realize That he needs to do something and Step up otherwise The people under him would have no confidence in him.
So I Feel Based on what Tsukune Became In circumstances I feel he should offer Tsukune A position in the academy as Staff Member And actually apologize for what happened In his own way and Ask Tsukune To help him Teach Monsters About Humans.. Aono May no longer be fully human , but he is still a human at heart. Therefore Mikogami Gives Tsukune Position to Help Educate Yokai About Humans. So him being a former human would not be an issue in Yokai Academdy.
Perhaps You should give Tsukune The Role of Assistant Teacher.. Tsukune Being a staff member Would this qualify Moka and others as Love intrests Because relations between a teacher and student is not appropriate and Disgusting. He may be around their age but he is a Staff Member.

The teasing of the conversation with that Goddess certainly peaked my interest. Looking forward to the story further expanding on that aspect and what it might mean for Tsukune.

Been a while but a good chapter. Good thing Tskune seems to draw the power of an Eastern dragon. From what I understand, those variants are akin to nature gods. Benevolent and malevolent as nature itself. If it were a western dragon, beware the destruction of a second coming of Fafnir.

Always great to see another chapter of this! It's one of the only RV stories that's still ongoing, and honestly it might be (in my opinion) the best RV story on the internet.
Great to see the conversations in this chapter; both those involving Tsukune, and those involving Ririko.
Keep up the good work!

Nice to see this update. The first thing that comes to mind is that Tsukune has apparently earned the favor of the goddess Styx. To me thats the only one who fits, though I could be wrong.

Matthew 7:24-29 NKJV
[24] “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: [25] and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. [26] “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: [27] and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” [28] And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, [29] for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

With that challenge at the end, I feel Tskune still has reason. It reminded me of stories of prisoners challenging their captors after surviving execution attempts.

Welcome back! it's wonderful to see a continuation of this story!
Right of the bat, my favorite part about this chapter is that it's almost entirely from Ririko's perspective. That's never been done so far and, as a co-lead of the story, it's actually refreshing. It's a nice change of pace because she's the adult and has very different life experience from Tsukune. Her reactions and how she feels about things, especially regarding Tsukune, is integral to the story. It was a really nice change to see an entire chapter through her eyes.
I had a feeling it couldn't be Tsukune on the phone since he's altogether still unsure about his future yet, though Ririko would unquestionably love for Tsukune to join her as an educator. I've never seen a guidance counselor character written before and a shapeshifter was a great idea! It could be healthy for students to vent and talk with someone who can looks like a familiar face.
