On a gloomy afternoon, the streets of Academy City were shrouded in shadows, providing an ominous setting for the unfolding events. As the sun began to set, Benedict found himself wandering aimlessly, his mind still reeling from the recent encounters with Misaka, Clara, Princess Tetra, Kuroko, and Alexander. His pride was wounded, and his ego was bruised, fueling the animosity he harbored towards them. He yearned for a way to assert his false dominance over those he deemed inferior.

Deep in the shadows, a mysterious presence lurked, observing Benedict from afar. An eerie feeling crawled up his spine, alerting him to the fact that he was not alone. Suddenly, a cloaked figure emerged from the darkness, offering Benedict the Whip Sword Authority, a power previously unknown to him.

Puzzled and intrigued, Benedict hesitated for a moment, uncertain of the true intentions behind this strange encounter. The mysterious figure assured him that the Whip Sword Authority was a gift, a tool for him to wield as he pleased. The authority itself was not inherently evil or dark; it was simply a source of power, and how he chose to use it would be entirely up to him.

Today, on the date of 8/2/2023, Benedict became an unexpected wielder of the Whip Sword Authority. As he grasped the power, an exhilarating rush surged through him, resonating with the depths of his soul. He relished the newfound might that allowed him to enforce his false dominance over those who had crossed him.

With the Whip Sword Authority firmly in his grip, Benedict's mind began concocting a sinister plan. He envisioned a future where Misaka, Clara, Princess Tetra, Kuroko, and Alexander would all kneel before him, submitting to his will. He reveled in the fantasy of them recognizing his superiority and yielding to his desires.

As the shadows grew deeper, Benedict decided it was time to put his newfound power to the test. Instead of seeking out each of them individually, he launched a surprise attack, confronting them all at once. The Whip Sword Authority materialized in his hand, its dark aura pulsating with power.

Misaka, Clara, Princess Tetra, Kuroko, and Alexander were taken aback by the sudden display of strength. Their initial confusion turned to concern as they realized Benedict's intentions. He made it abundantly clear that they would all bend to his will, serve him, and acknowledge him as their superior.

Despite Benedict's overwhelming display of authority, cracks in his facade began to show. Misaka refused to be intimidated, standing her ground with unwavering determination. Clara's fiery spirit refused to be extinguished, and Princess Tetra's regal pride remained unyielding. Kuroko's loyalty to her friends and Alexander's sense of justice clashed with Benedict's tyrannical ambitions.

Undeterred, Benedict was unwavering in his belief that authority could only be established through force and coercion. His upbringing had ingrained this notion, and he saw the Whip Sword Authority as a means to enforce his will upon others, regardless of their indomitable spirit.

The future of Academy City now hung in the balance, as the confrontation between Benedict and his adversaries escalated. The dark powers granted to him by the mysterious individual were indeed a double-edged sword. The true test of his character would be how he wielded this authority. Would he continue down the path of false dominance, using the power to force others into submission? Or would he heed the lessons learned from his encounters and seek a different path, one that involved mutual respect and understanding?

As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, the fate of Academy City would be determined by the choices Benedict made. The authority he possessed had the potential to either bring about harmony or sow chaos. The reckoning awaited, and the outcome would shape not only his destiny but also the future of those he sought to dominate.

## Authorities

Benedict's pride was wounded beyond repair after losing not one but two authorities. The realization that he could never again bond with such powerful forces left him in a state of disbelief and frustration. No longer able to rely on the crutch of authority, he was forced to confront the reality that true dominance could not be attained through external means. His failed attempts at asserting power over those he perceived as adversaries only exposed the fragility of his ego. Now, he had to find an alternative path to validate his self-proclaimed greatness. While bitterness still lingered in his heart, he began to understand that true strength came from within, not from wielding external symbols of power. Benedict's journey to self-discovery was just beginning, and only time would tell whether he would embrace humility and growth or continue down a path of false dominance fueled by unresolved enmity.

### Current Authorities

**None**: Unable to bond with anymore authorities due to losing two authorities

### Former Authorities

#### Whip Sword Authority

On the same day Benedict obtained Whip Sword Authority, his arrogance led to a swift defeat and knock-out at the hands of Alex. As the authority unbonded from him, it found its way to Alex, who purified its dark energy. Recognizing Princess Tetra's strength and integrity, Alex transferred the authority to her, making her its new wielder.

#### Axe Authority

Benedict's world shattered as Alexander's swift victory stripped him of Whip Sword Authority. Just when he thought he could recover, Princess Tetra, wielding the very same authority, unleashed a relentless assault, leaving him knocked out and powerless once more. Two consecutive defeats, each authority lost, dealt a crippling blow to his once-confident ego, leaving him humbled and seeking a new path forward.
