Chapter 24: Wave
(Y/N)'s POV
[Hyoudou's Resident]
I felt light shining towards my eyes, feeling the sting of it due to my sudden blackout. I groaned in pain as the held my head. I felt like I was being hit by an interdimensional train over and over again, and survived...only to be hit by more trains. Shit! This is worse than Riser or Kokabiel knocking me out. I slowly open my eyes, feeling the pain of sunlight piercing into my eyes.
Suddenly, I sensed something hitting my skin, flowing down from my forehead. I turned my attention towards the source that woke me up, and to my surprise, it was a person who is crying her eyes out. I blinked once...twice...before giving a reassuring smile towards the same person.
"Did I ever tell you that your face is beautiful when you smile rather than crying?" I lifted my head from a soft substance which I concluded to be a pillow before being hugged by the person. "There, there...So-tan..."
"Stupid...you're absolutely stupid...you're extreme, terribly, incredibly, lovable stupid!" Sona cries out loud as she hugged me more tightly. If she was rook, she can send me to the ER with broken bones.
"Yeah, I'm stupid..."
"I'm...I'm worried off you...you know that..."
"You could've told me that again..."
"..."
"..."
Dead silence. The only thing I heard is her sobbing like a kid. The only thing I could do is pet her head slowly, embracing her a little bit longer.
"Glad to see you survived, (Y/N)-kun." I heard another woman voices coming from my side. Her voice indicates worry and happiness as I looked towards them. The person...no, the angel gives me a big smile as she made her way over towards me. "Everyone is extremely worried of you, you know..."
"Including you, Gabriel-san?" I asked, seeing a small but noticeable tear coming out from her eyes genuinely make me sad and guilty.
"*sobs*...yes,"
"I'm truly sorry about it-"
"You should be!" Sona interrupted in anger, still burying her face into my chest.
"Aha, I really do felt guilty on bringing everyone into this trouble." I admitted, continuing patting her head. "What happen when..." I then get a slight glimpse of my memory as it came back. The conference...saving Gasper...battling Katerea...Samuel...I remembered...I remembered everything he said...Does everything that he said is true? Am I just a manipulated puppet in my own story? The more that I think about it...the more I think it's true...
"(Y/N)-kun..." Gabriel called out, snapping me back to reality, noticing that her face was inch near to mine. "You're spacing out. Are you alright?"
"Yes, just remembering about the event..." I quickly replied, avoiding any suspicion from the kind angel. She squinted her eyes, still suspecting me before dropping it off. "What I was about to ask is...what happened after I pass out? Did I go berserk?"
"...Yes..."
"...I really need to stop guessing..."
"And in unfortunate event...Mason Pines..." She avoids eye contact from me. I took the message as I put my hand to my face, feeling the heavy regret. "He and Bill Cipher saved you from your trance..."
"Fuck..." I felt really terrible...This is all my fault...I hadn't fallen to despair...I...
"Fortunately, Bill Cipher manage to save him..."
I lifted my head from my palm with a sign of hope plastered on my face as I looked at the angel. "R-Really?"
"Yes, Miss Seris Gremory and Asia-chan manage to heal him, pretty quick. Same for you after the fight,"
"Thank heaven-GAGH!" I winced loudly as the pain in my head came back before feeling another pain in my gut. This time, courtesy of Sona. "Ouch!"
"Why did you say that?!" She scolded me.
"S-Sorry...I was being thankful..."
Gabriel giggled at our interaction as she slowly pat my head. "There, there..."
Being patted by an angel from Heaven is truly a blessing as her soft hair caressing my hair, which makes me happier...before feeling another punch in the gut. "Ah...sorry. So, what happens then?"
"Well, after the battle, our armies as well as Fallen Angels and Devils had come in and carried out the fallen and cleans up the school. Serafall-san had captured Katerea and brought her back to Underworld for questioning. But due to the beating she got, she was indeed unconscious and wouldn't be waking up in a while."
"I see...I hope she doesn't do anything terrible with her..." (Y/N) deadpanned at the thought of Serafall torturing her somewhat cousin...probably.
"To be honest, I didn't know what to during the battle and when you're unconscious....I felt so useless when I saw you in battle. But then, Azazel-san said that the only way to cure your worries would to..."
"Hmm?"
"He said I need t-to show m-my breasts..."
"..Wait, what?"
"S-So, to make sure your mind is safe, please look!" Without any second to reply, Gabriel taking off top as my eyes widened in shock. However, Sona slapped her hand into my face, closing my eyes from taking a look from the pure angel.
"Gabriel-san, that's really not necessary here! Please calm down!" I tried to calm down, also making mental note to kick Azazel's between his legs when I saw him.
"But, if I don't do this, (Y/N)-kun's heart might die..." Gabriel adopted a cute unsure look. "I-I don't want (Y/N)-kun to die..."
"For fuck sake! That son of a bitch Azazel! That guy is just lying! I'm not gonna die! I promise!"
"O-Oh, is that the case? (Y/N)-kun isn't going to die?" I quickly nodded my head at her, reassuring her. Gabriel placed her hand on her breast, smiling happily. "I'm glad, I thought that (Y/N)-kun was going to die, but now that he isn't I'm pleased."
"Are you done showing of your breasts, Lord Gabriel..." Sona looked enraged, as if she was going to murder someone that was in front of her-Wait, that's me.
"A-Ah, Sona-chan, please don't sound so angry, I was just making sure that (Y/N)-kun is safe."
I pushed Sona's hand away from my face as I looked down on the glassed devil with a smile on my face. "Can you let me go now?"
"B-B-" Sona looks up towards my face.
"No buts, I need to get me some nutrition. I'm hungry..."
She pouted and let go of her arms around me. I took this moment to slide myself to the edge of the bed as my feet landed on the soft carpet. With the assist of Sona, I slowly stood up from the bed.
"You shouldn't force yourself," Sona pointed out as she held my hand.
"Look, sleeping on the bed seems like a heaven to me but I need to start moving...besides, how many hours since I knocked out?" I asked with one of my arm around her shoulder, making it easier for me to walk.
"Does 3 days sound too much for you?" Gabriel nervously chuckles, knowing the fact that I stared at her with a round eyes, completely shock by the news.
"Excuse me?! What in the seven hell did you say?"
"3 days...what you've gone deaf now?" Sona keeps on helping me manoeuvre my body towards the door slowly. "Two cheat day and 1 day of not going to school...What, what are you doing here anyway?"
Sona blushed as Gabriel gave a warm smile towards both of us. "N-Nothing in particular...Besides, I'm your girlfriend, of course I need to take care you."
"Isn't there something more~?" Gabriel cooed as she made her way to the door, to open the door knob open.
"T-Then how about you, Lord Gabriel?! What are you doing here?!" Sona avoids her question as the cheery angel gave a gentle smile to me.
"I came to visit, (Y/N)-san~" She replied and opened the door revealing a boy with a messy hair and baggy eyes looking straight towards me, holding a tray in his hand. He stood there for a moment before opening his eyes in shock as his jaw dropped at the sight. "Ara?"
"(Y/N) bro..." Issei inquired as he slowly moves forward.
"Yo..."
"YOU EXTRAORDINARY ASSHOLE!" Issei pushed the tray towards Sona, who's panicking from the sudden jump from my twin as the boy hugged me tightly.
"Well, that's new..."
"Ahaha! You're alive!"
"Of course, I'm alive you, dimwit..."
"You're old!"
"Yes I'm older than you in age,"
"No, literally you're old...you have white hair,"
"...Excuse me, what?" I summons a mirror and looked upon the mirror and saw my hair has actually turned into white. I immediately forced myself on using my power to change it back to its original (H/C). I winced in pain as Issei caught me into his arms.
"I got you, bro." Issei put my arm around his shoulder. "You shouldn't force yourself out of the bed. For a man who decently smart, you aren't much of the bright guy since 'that' accident,"
"That is what I've been telling your stupid brother!" Sona scolded me once more putting the tray of food on the desk lamp nearby my bed.
"Oh, bugger off..." I merely shrugged it off as Issei forced me back towards the bed before murmuring, "You wouldn't understand the pain of it anyway..."
"I know...I wouldn't pry much," Issei lay me back to the bed. "You still tired from the fiasco that the Vali Twins did to us,"
I sighed as the words of Samuel Lucifer still ringing inside my head before looking at Issei, "So, what kind of white lie do you have to tell our parents about my condition?"
"Well, at least you're out of that problem, since mom and dad were out the moment we got back here..." Issei's reply give me a chance to let out a sigh of relief. We don't want our parents to get more panic their son's supernatural situation. "They're visiting our relatives...but they're coming home today, so stay in the back and pretend you're having a fever,"
"Bloody hell, Issei..." I looked at Issei with widened eyes. "Did you sucks out all of my intelligent point for yourself?"
"Nah, I just don't have enough sleep from taking care of you while constantly stopping Blair to enter your room..." Issei pointed at claw mark on his arm.
"Pity,"
"I know right...and the fact the your fi-" Issei's mouth was covered by Sona as she quickly shakes her head at the boy while looking at me with a nervous smile.
"I'm the one who gave him the idea! Yeah, Sona Sitri! You're girlfriend! Nothing more!" She nervously replied as I deadpanned at the scene before Issei pushed her hand away.
"So, the girls...shall I wake them up from their slumber?" Issei asked as I quickly shook my head in denial.
"It'll be best to wait for next morning, we don't want them to be panicky about this," I suggested before letting out a sigh. "And I don't want a broken ribs."
"Yeah, that too..." Issei chuckles, slapping his hand behind my back. "Sleep well my dude, you gonna need it."
Issei yawned indicating that he is truly tired from taking care of me as he walks out of the room and waves his hand. Sona was amazed by Issei's caring side of personality that she rarely see in her life of knowing us.
"Is that really Issei or am I just as tired as him?" Sona asked.
I let out a hearty laugh before patting her head, making her blush in red. "That's my twin brother alright. Sure, he's the biggest pervert you seen in our school but actually he's a nice brother to have. Let just say, he's the overprotective one in this sibling rivalry thingy...I suppose."
"Ah~ Your brotherly affection with Issei Hyoudou is mesmerizing," Gabriel comment with a smile, putting her palms together. "It reminded of your relationship with your sister, Sona-chan~"
"Oh, no...this is nothing like that!" Sona quickly denies it, waving her hand quickly.
"And also..." Gabriel stopped a bit before continue with a saddened smile. "Brother Raphael,"
"Lord Raphael?" Both Sona and I inquires as the angel nodded her head.
"Yes...Raphael...is kind and cheerful brother in our family," She looks out of the window. "He's always protecting both me and Sister Uriel even goes to the length almost falling during an accident with Lucifer and Castiel...but after the war...He...vanished..."
"V-Vanished?" Sona eyes widened in shock from the news.
Gabriel let out a noticeable tear on her face. I'm guessing the pain of losing one of her family member still hurts, she then wiped her tears away before giving us her gentle smile once more. "But that a story for another time I suppose,"
"Yeah, we don't want to turn this place in sour town now, aren't we?" I smirked as she let out a giggles. "So, you're planning on staying her for the night?"
"Unfortunately, I can't. I have something to attend to in Heaven as well as planning for someone's wedding~"
"Ah, lucky them. Am I right, So-tan?"
"Don't call me that..." Sona murmured, turning her face away from me. I noticed that her ears turned into slightly red, probably blushing from my tease.
"Well, it's time for me to go home~" Gabriel said happily, making her way towards the door. "I'll see you soon then, (Y/N)-san~"
"Wait!" I quickly interject, stopping her track as well shocking her entirely. "I need to say something before you leave,"
"What seems to be the problem, (Y/N)-san?"
"...I want you to ask Michael, if it possible for Asia, and Xenovia to pray to God as well?" I asked as Sona and Gabriel stunned from my request. "Because they sacrificed their lives, or their lives changed because of circumstances out of their control, I thought that because Michael technically is a God now, it would be easy for him to make them be able to pray since it is only two Devils."
Gabriel looked baffled that I asked something like that. However, she gave a small laugh and looked at me. "So, you twins do think alike,"
"Huh?"
"Issei-san already asked the same favour to Brother Michael, knowing that you will asked the same question if you're awake at that time~"
"...Lil bro...You're paragon of every little bro in this world!" I clenched my fist as at tear of happiness starts flowing down from my eyes like waterfall. "How you could be so kind?!"
"...I really do not understand your brotherly relationship, (Y/N)..." Sona deadpanned at my reaction.
"Well, if that's the case...just be careful, Gabriel-san."
"Do not worry, (Y/N)-san. I will be fine," Gabriel reassured before waving her hand towards us. "Bye, bye now~"
A magic circles appeared below her as she was consumed by the light. I covered my eyes from being blinded by holy light as it slowly dimmed down, revealing that Gabriel has returned to Heaven. I let out a sigh before looking back at Sona.
"How about you?" I asked her with a smile of my own.
"Hmm? Isn't it obvious?" Sona murmured as she got into my bed and wrapped her arms around my body once more. "I'm staying here..."
"Understandable...How about your sister? She must be panicking right now,"
"...I handle it after I returned home..."
"Alright, but before that..." I slowly pushed her away, making her slightly confused with my gesture before taking the food on the tray. "Eat first, then snuggle!"
"Hmph, fine then!" Sona pouted before giving me a small smile. "Want me to feed you?"
"I can eat it myself woman! I am not a child!"
"Judging by your act, you are~"
"Dammit, So-tan!"
And the night goes on for both of us, filled with chatter, laughter and most importantly, snuggles. All seems to calm down...until...
[Timeskip]
"Are you sure you can go to school with your condition?" Issei asked as he accompanied me downstairs. "I mean, you just woke up last night and you barely can walk straight like a normal person. Also, you're old!"
"My hair turns into white, doesn't mean I'm old, fuck face!" I yelled as he kept on going downstairs. "Besides, I rather move around the house more rather than sleeping on the bed for entire bed doing nothing."
"Yes, yes...I understand..."
We arrived at ground floor as we made our way towards the kitchen only to find Asia serving food on the table wearing an apron, Rias drying her wet hair with a towel and Blair slipping on the chair. Both of the Devil girls turn their attention towards me as Issei already left me from his side.
"Incoming train in 5 seconds," Issei smirked as he flipped me off.
"...Never I felt associating Issei with the word clever before and now here we are," Bill commented, sitting on couch with a cup of tea. "Clever boy,"
"Fuck..." I let out a sigh before being lunged by the red haired girl into her embracement. My legs didn't have the strength to keep myself standing. Instead, I fall down backward, hitting my back on the cold hard floor. "GAGH! MY SPINE!"
"(Y/N)-kun! Are you alright? What did that white haired devil did to you? You're not dying right?" Rias cries out as she hugged me tightly, placing my head into her big chests. It's hard for me to breathe already, and my back still hurts like hell! "(Y/N)-kun, I'm sorry I didn't come and helped you during the fight...I felt so useless at that time! I'm so sorry..."
I can sense the guilt trip coming from Rias, hearing a slight sobbing from her as well. Who wouldn't I almost lost my mind back then, and we're also fighting two powerful devil with a power that can kill us. "Hey it's alright Rias...don't worry about it..." I assured her as Asia as she let go of the hug, letting me see her red eyes and tears flowing down it. He wipe of the tears away before petting her head, which she happily accepted it. "There, there...you did well, when we saved Gasper at that time...don't need to be sad about it..."
"Geez, Rias...can't you give that boy a break?" Sona comes down from the stairs as she made her way towards us, fully dressed in school uniform. "He just got back from short coma, and you already breaking his back."
"Shut it, Sona...I was worried about him!" Rias pouted at the glasses woman. "Don't you have felt the same way at that time as well?"
"I didn't jumps to his arms like a missing wife,"
"(N/N)-kun!" Asia rushed out towards me and went to hug me but stopped. She didn't even say anything as she placed her hands to my back, healing it from any damage.
"You're worried to right?" I asked, turning my head towards her head.
She adopted a small smile on her lips. "We were all worried of you, (N/N)-kun."
"Yeah, I caused some ruckus back then...How about we continue talking at the dining table instead of the floor?"
Everyone let out a small laugh from my statement as we went in for our breakfast. Bill Cipher looked towards me, gazing upon my white hair before cursing under his breathe.
[ORC Clubroom]
"Just making sure, you already told everyone that I have woken up before entering?" I asked, genuinely scared upon the thought being piled up with everyone else. I gulped some of my saliva, showing the sign of hesitation of opening the door.
"Don't worry, we already warned them about your arrival," Rias gave assured me as we all made our ways towards the doors. "Just to be clear, they are excited to see you return..."
"My peerage?"
"Your peerage, of course."
"But not everybody would like you returning here..." Bill murmured, earning Asia and my attention. "Just...be ready for a punch,"
"What do you mean by that Cipher-san?" Asia felt concerned from the warning.
"You'll just to wait..."
I narrowed my eyes towards that one-eyed demon before Asia opens the door to the clubroom. I turned my head away from my demon, looking into the room filled with familiar faces as everyone got up from the sits with either surprised, relieved and happiness on their faces.
"(Y/N)!" Everyone shouted in happiness as they made their way towards me.
"There you are," Ravel came over, and without even saying anything, she took out some Phoenix Tears and gives it to me. "I was wondering when you will return."
"Not a fast recovery I supposed..." I laughed a bit.
"Drink the Phoenix Tears, it can heal you spontaneously,"
"Understandable,"
"Do you understand, how extremely worried we are?" Kalawarner crossed her arm, giving a smile. "Even though we were frozen in time, some of us, we couldn't hide our worry when we returned to normal. Even then, it doesn't matter I suppose, you're just alright. We're happy that you're okay."
I smiled towards Kalawarner who did the same thing right back. I was then caught off guard by Akeno who hugged into me. I looked up towards her and saw that Akeno held concerned eyes for me. "H-Hey Akeno-senpai, please don't be worried, I'm alright."
She didn't say anything, she just held onto my head. Knowing that she about her feeling, I just let her stay where she was, and held her with one of my hands, rubbing her back gently. Akeno turned upwards, and into a delightful smile.
"It was hard battle, but we managed to pull through!" Tyrion smirked. I would reply with nodding, but Akeno wouldn't release me from her bust.
"(Y/N)-san, we're sorry we didn't come, we were caught up with magicians, and they got in the way so we couldn't fight beside you...and the barrier...the risk of letting you out in berserk state is critical...I am truly sorry..." Yusuke apologized as he bowed towards me in respectable manner.
"Hey, it's alright, Yusuke-san, don't worry about it." I assured him, as he raised up from his position.
"Darling, I'm glad you're alright!" Kurumi hugged me from behind as she put her chin on my shoulder. "You don't understand how scared I am during your berserk phase, you could've died from it you know!"
"I know, I know...I'll try being extremely careful with everything..." I sarcastically replied as I slowly pushed Akeno away, making the older woman pouted, feeling dissatisfied.
"With that declaration, I'll follow you everywhere, 24/7! To your house, to your bathroom, to your bed! And even when you're having your fun tim-"
"I have to stop you right there, aren't you already following me?"
"That's 12 hours! I want to do it 24 hours!"
"Yeah, no can do...someone stop her..."
"Stopping Kurumi from getting close to you? That's like signing a death certificate," Kokichi declined with Mittelt agreeing with him.
"(Y-Y/N)-senpai!" Gasper made his way towards me, showing a concerned expression on his face. "I-I'm w-worried about y-your condition! I-I-Is it b-because of m-me?"
"No, Gasper...It's not your fault...Don't worry about it," I gave a thumbs up as a big smile appeared on his face, feeling happy from my statement.
"Truly, that was one of the scariest thing happened to you, I had to admit." Pyronica chimed, sitting on the edge of her chair. "Both of you and Bill!"
"What does that mean?"
"...I do not know how to explain because my knowledge of Mindscapes is really limited. So, it best for you to discuss it with Bill Cipher himself...as immediate as possible," She suggested with a serious expression on her face.
"I see..."
"Good to see you survived the mindfreak, kid." Orion made his way towards me with a smile on his face. "Quite worried. I don't want my rival to die early in his journey to stardom. We haven't have our rematch yet!"
"Quite ironic because I usually the one who did the Nightmare Inducing thingy towards some poor devils..." I replied accompanied by a laughter from both of us including Issei groans.
"Including me I supposed..." Issei sighed, putting his hand on his face.
"Hey, you always asked for it!"
"I can't help it, bro! Boobs are the only thing I lived for my entire devil life!"
"...Pervert..." Koneko commented as she came over and hugged me tightly.
"You can say that again," Mittelt agreeing with the white haired loli.
Everyone have a hearty life as Mabel smiled towards me. "Well, at least thing get normal once more, am I right?"
"Normal eh?" A dull male voice sounded as everyone turned their attention towards a brown haired boy. He held onto his cap in his hand with his head hang low to the floor. "How can you say normal with all this shit that happens..."
"Dipper, glad you're alright..." I sighed in relief as I walked towards the boy, showing a smile towards him. "At least I knew that I didn't killed you during my berserk state,"
Dipper didn't say a word as the cheery atmosphere around the room suddenly filled with silence as everyone felt sorrow towards my statement. I noticed the change as I looked around the room filled with saddened peeps, confused by their gesture.
"What's wrong?" I inquires, wanting to know the actual context of their sudden behaviour.
"(Y/N)-san," Xenovia chimed in as I turned my head towards the blue haired girl. "Umm...I don't know how to say this...but..." She became hesitant to tell me anything. "During your berserk state...Dipper-san valiantly...sacrificed himself in order to bind you in your place..."
My eyes widen...shock began to fill my body as my skin slightly turned pale...sweats starts to fall down on my head. I quickly put the pieces together as I slowly turned my head toward my friend...I killed Mason Pines...with my own hands...b-but...he's stills alive...there's no way he could survived...A single words comes out from my mouth, feeling nervous and hesitate..."How?"
"How? How you said?" Dipper raised his head, showing off his hazel eyes. His expression tells everything. He's current emotion matched my expectation as he lunged out of the chair, clenching his fist. It collided with my face, sending me couple of feet away towards a nearby furniture, breaking it into pieces. Strong and powerful. My prediction is correct...but before I could confirmed it, he already spit out the answer with an angry tone that pierced the silence in the room with shock. "YOU TURNED ME INTO A DEVIL, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
Dipper about to make his way towards me for another solid punch but was immediately held back by Kiba and Tyrion. Asia quickly rushed to my side, putting her hand over my now bruised cheek, healing it with her magic.
"CALM DOWN, DIPSHIT!" Tyrion shouted in anger as he kept on holding onto the now Devil Dipper with his Rook strength. "WE ALREADY TALK ABOUT THIS?!"
"Dipper, stop it! You're gonna hurt yourself!" Kiba tries to calm him down but to no avail as Dipper keeps his seething anger, glaring towards me as if I am his worst enemy.
"How dare you think that it's okay to just turn people into Devils without their permission?!" Dipper shouted back once more. "This is my life, and now I'm what, some slave that expected to do your bidding? That's not how I had my life planned! This isn't right! ALL OF THIS DEVIL TURNING ISN'T RIGHT! You can't expect me to just smile and say everything is alright! NOTHING IS ALRIGHT! My life has been ruined ever thanks to you!"
"I have no idea what's your problem..." I immediately stood up, trying to keep my cool in the heat of the moment. "I was out unconscious...and I'm guessing that Bill decided to give you a second chance. Since he wasn't here and busy tending me, you decided to lash out your pent up anger exactly at the time when I returned. You're dying...and he...no...we saved your life!"
"You saved my life...did you ever consider, that I might've wanted to die as a human? Maybe, I wanted to go to Heaven?! But what chance do I have now? There's nothing that I can do about that now, is there?"
Feeling the sense of guilt, I tried to persuade him. "Dipper, I-"
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU?!"
...
...
...
...
...
I didn't dare to answer. He was right. He just found out things about himself that, I was surpised. I was able to keep my cool at that time...unfortunately, our reaction were different. He's been brought into the world he still doesn't understand, and won't be able to accept easily. I can't blame him. He was human yesterday, and now he's been forced to live his life as a Devil...no...as Servant of a Devil while being a Devil.
Without any more words coming out from him, he pushed away both of the Devils away from his grasp and make his way to the door, putting on his cap. He looks back towards us, still showing the sign of rage.
"I'm leaving...away from your kind...I knew that I shouldn't come to this place at all..." Dipper announced, before looking at his twin. "Are you gonna stay here?"
"...Dipper...they're our friends..." Mabel meekly replied, unable to leave the room with him.
"...Suit yourself..."
And with that, the one of the Pines left the room in aggressive manner, leaving everyone in the entire room stay put in their position, still trying to comprehend the sudden departure of the new devil.
"Sorry, kid..." Orion let out a frustrated sigh, putting both of his hands on his waist. "We tried to stop him from bursting out,"
"We knew it coming, we never knew it will be from him..." Kiba bites the bottom of his lips, feeling despair over his friend. "He was...shocked...angry...sad...his emotion mixed, making him a ticking time bomb...waiting to explode at someone..."
"And that someone is me," I concluded, putting my hand in my pocket.
"Kid," Bill gained my attention as I looked at him. The Dream Demon held a complicated expression on his face. "Did I do the wrong thing?"
"...No, you didn't. In time, Dipper will come to accept the truth and reality around him. Once he does, he'll be able to move forward. But if we just keep coming at him with all of these new concepts, he's just going to pull away from it. Naturally, this should be the exact response. Heck, I too felt the same way after my revival...He'll came around eventually."
Everyone began to calm down, still feeling awkward from the Dipper's outburst. To break the tension on from going on, I let out a fake cough, gaining everyone attention as I turned my head towards a desk for President to sit.
"Now, can somebody bother to tell me..." I raised my hand and pointed at the direction of the President's table. "What he's doing there, sitting in our club?"
"I was about to ask the same thing," Rias frowned, agreeing with my question without any doubt.
Everyone noticed a familiar middle aged man sitting on the black leather chair with his against his cheek with his elbow on the desk, observing our interaction with speaking a words since we got here. He slowly rise up, giving us a grin on his face.
"I'm always up for some teen drama in my daily life," The man responded, crossing his legs under the table.
"Does big brother know about this?" Rias questioned the leader of Fallen Angel.
"Hah! I was requested to take this position by Serafall's little sister and now I'm a teacher as well! Well, it's because I'm super-cool guy. I score even with schoolgirls!"
"That's sick you sicko!" Ravel yelled from my side as I set down on my spot, rubbing the temple of my head. Koneko sat on my lap, before petting on my head in return, trying to calm me down from this madness. Look, even a crazy guy like me need sometimes away from the craziness.
"How is it sick?" Azazel playfully replied.
"It's forbidden!" Ravel yelled, pointing right towards him. "I mean, they're school girls, you can't sleep with school girls or anything, don't do anything with any girl, ever you sick person! I am not even convinced that you're supposed to be here."
"I have million evidence to deny your assumption, but I rather to keep my mouth shut before being burned like fried chicken..." I pointed out, knowing the fact that I have some fair share of...'research' on my own.
Azazel however, laughed at Ravel's words. "Aah, prude of the Phenex, calm your body down and relax. Like I said before, it's Serafall's little sister asked me to teach here, and Serafall even Seris seemed fine with it, thought I have to be kind or she is going to send me a nasty letter form Gabriel. I probably would love to see a nasty letter from her honestly. Sirzechs also said something about it as well."
"Big brother knew about you being here?!" Rias roared from the side.
"He's the mastermind of this plan anyway,"
"Just tell me your purpose of being the teacher of this club," I asked him, already felt I had enough with his antic.
"Very well then," Azazel complied as he continues. "The condition for me staying at this school is that I make the immature Sacred Gears possessed by the Devils of the Gremory along with (Y/N)'s clan grow. Well, my knowledge as a Sacred Gear enthusiast is useful, after all. You guys have also heard about it, but there is a weird organisation called Khaos Brigade. As a future deterrent against them, the Welsh Dragon and your family have become famous, even (Y/N)'s has become more famous now as well. Though, there's also a worry about Khaos Brigade, taking over the Old Devil Faction. Though for those guys, they have dangerous powers..."
I sense of worries appeared on my face. "Are they going to attack us again at any point?"
"Not in particular," The Governer shook his head at my question. "It seems they regrouping, and needs some time to recover. It was a rare chance for an assassination on the leaders of the three great powers at the conference, but that also failed. Their current opponent are Heaven and the Underworld. In the Underworld, all the Fall Angels under my orders have joined together with the Devils. The Underworld won't fall so easily. The Seraph guys in Heaven also wouldn't remain silent. Also, there are the free-loading strong sacred beast in Heaven and demonic beasts as well. We didn't receive any words from Mount Olympus but Gaia will try and urge Zeus to lend us a helping hand."
"...So it's a war?" Issei's words felt too serious to come out of his mouth, makes me felt more worried.
"No, it's still at the skirmish level. You could say both they and us are in preparatory period. Don't worry, something like war won't occur until you people graduate from the university, let alone this school's high school division. Enjoy your school life fully. However, it is the long-awaited preparatory period. So you'll be doing various preparations, right?"
"Well..." Tilting his head in puzzlement, Issei tried to think of something to say, but nothing special came to his mind.
"Welsh Dragon, don't think about it too hard. Either way, since you lack brains, you'll make no progress if you worry too much. Your enemy is the Vanishing Dragon Vali to the bitter end. Just don't forget that single fact."
Issei nodded his head before Azazel continues.
"You were only able to repel Vali because you combined the Dragon-slaying sword you got from Michael with Boosted Gear's power. Also, Vali didn't go all out. If it weren't for that, you would have lost. Rather, you could only fight thanks to the compatibility this time. If it was another opponent that wasn't a Dragon and possessed power of Vali's level, you would have been killed." Azazel looked towards Issei, rather his hand, the one where he smashed the jewel inside. "And can you use the Vanishing Dragon's power because of that?"
"No, it doesn't function at all." Issei shook his head.
As I thought. You can't handle something that strong so easily. It's beneficial to take in another Dragon's power. It's an entirely different matter whether you can freely control it or not. If used unskilfully, it may be an ability that is more difficult that attaining Balance Breaker. However, the power you took in once should have been recorded into Ddraig's soul. The rest depends on training. In addition, you'll first have to complete hellish training in the long term. If you're weak but in absurdly high spirits, you'll die."
"I'm sorry that I'm fundamentally weak, Governer!"
"Wow, being honest with yourself...good job Issei. You make your twin brother proud..." I jokingly said, receiving a glare from him.
Azazel chuckled darkly, then turned to Issei once more. "Your Welsh Dragon power is also too unstable. Its explosive power is tremendous, but that's also only temporarily. A lower rank opponent would instantly be brought down with that, but it would be suppressed by a higher rank opponent. If you're also going to participate in the Rating Games as a Devil from now on, you must stabilise the Welsh Dragon's mighty power. For all that, you first need to attain Balance Breaker. Having said that, Rating Games aren't straightforward either. Something like a Pawn that consumed only one piece taking down the King also happens. Everything depends on how you fight. I'll have to teach you all about that as well."
"You seem well-informed about Rating Games."
Azazel was about to answer, when Mittelt spoke up. "We Fallen Angels also enjoy the games, Master. Thanks to the peace pact, there are also a lot of Angels and our kind going out to watch the games unreservedly!"
Azazel chuckled, continuing the conversation with Issei. "Therefore, for the time being, we'll build up your body so that it can fight for long periods of time."
"...Yes. But can I beome strong?" He asked the Governor, feeling slightly anxious with his ability.
"I'll make you strong. Since I'm a Fallen Angel with free time." Azazel showed a complacent and mischievous smile.
Issei then pointed towards Gasper. "If for example, we're attacked another time, can't we do something with Gasper's time-stopping?"
"S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-Senpai! W-W-W-W-W-W-W-What are you saying?!"" Gasper cried and shouted at his suggestion, but Pyronica placed a hand on his head, and soothed her.
"We can't sned Gasper out to fight on his own," I pointed out. "And we can't make him use his Sacred Gear without him fully being able to control it either."
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm so useless! I'm not useful at all! I'm garbage! I'm pig food! I'm seriously reflecting deeper than the sea, and I possess a target higher than Everest! So please don't abandon me!"
Everyone deadpanned at the trap vampire as he hid back inside of his cardboard box. Pyronica sighed and made her way towards him as she patted him.
"Hey, don't say that. You're not garbage or pig food. You're a lovely cute Vampire, okay? No one is going to force you to do anything that you don't want to do. We're all right here, okay? No one's gonna hurt you~!" Pyronica gave a gentle smile as she kept on patting the vampire.
"That's right, holy demonic sword kid." Azazel called out, gaining Kiba's attention. "How long can you fight in Balance Breaker?"
"Currently one hour is my limit."
"That's not good. At very least, you need to make sure that you're able to continue using it for 3 days." He then turned his gaze towards me. "How about you? How long can you prolong the use of Cipher Mode and Rage Mode?"
"I use Cipher Mode all the time...but I roughly estimated it to be somewhere around 3 hours while I can only maintain the Rage Mode by 30 minutes."
"And with the discovery of your new mode due to your brain malfunction, you can't handle using your power at its peak! Issei, how about you?"
"I-I can only do it for 10 seconds under restricted conditions..." Issei timidly spoke.
The Governer's eyes became half-closed. "You'll have to retrain from scratch. The White Dragon Emperor can stay in Balance Breaker for one month. That's the difference between you." Next, he's gaze turned towards Akeno, who stiffened, and held onto my hand. "Do you still hate us, no, Baraqiel?"
"I have no intention of forgiving him," Akeno answered with a stern expression. "Since it's that person's fault that my mother died."
I showed a sad smile on my face, understanding where she was coming from, but felt bad that she was even feeling like this.
"Akeno, when you fell down to being a Devil, he said nothing."
"Naturally. That person isn't in a position where he can say something to me."
"That's not what I meant. No, well, it might be thoughtless of me to enter into the space of your parent and child."
"I don't consider that person as my father!" She declared that clearly, squezzing my hand tightly. I offered a stroke of the young woman's hand with her own hand, making her smile in appreciation that he was there, and helping her.
"I see," Azazel wasn't surprise by her declaration. "But I don't think it's bad that you joined the Gremory family. If things were otherwise, what would Baraqiel think, I wonder?"
Akeno did not respond. She just silently showed a complicated expression. Then, Azazel's eyes turned to Issei this time.
"Hey, Red Dragon Emperor, is Issei fine? Issei, your dream is to make a harem, right?" Azazel asked, making my left eyes twitched in annoyance.
"Yeah, that's right..." Issei eyes began to bright up from that topic.
"Then you should learn from your twin brother. He seems to be fine with women, look at all of them over there." Issei face faulted as the man snickered. "Shall I teach you about harems? Even though I look like this, I'm a man who has formed hundreds of harems in the past, you know? You won't lose anything by hearing about it."
"S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-Seriously?!"
"Yeah, seriously. Are you a virgin?"
"Y-Yes!"
"I know someone who isn't~"
Azazel teasing eyes went towards me, who blushed and faced away. "Please don't encourage him, you idiot!"
Issei's eyes slowly went towards me, but Azazel spoke up, and got his attention once more. "All right, I'll also teach you about women. It's better to become a man that properly ensares even beautiful women. The story of how I fell like this was because I rubbed the breasts of human women. I don't compromise when it comes to ero."
"Y-You fell for such a thing?! Eh? Seriously?!"
"How surprising..." I sarcastically commented. "Please don't speak about this, there's innocent devils in this room!"
"Really," Rias nodded with a fed-up face. According to legend, the leaders of the Grigori were tempted by human women and fell for the teaching them valuable knowledge from Heaven."
Azazel smiled as he heard that. "We were young back then too. We blindly believed that "God was great!" and "God was wonderful!" with our virginity standing out. Hahaha, after we lost to temptation in the end and had sex with women, we lost our virginity and also lost our place in Heaven."
"Ah, somehow, I'm suddenly sympathetic for the Fallen Angels." Issei casually commented.
"Of course...as soone as he hears that,...the perv would become like that..." Koneko's eyes glaring towards him.
"Ooh, you really are sensible aren't you?" Azazel smirked once more. "That's right, if you're a man, live in a stare of desire. Devour woman! If you sleep with them and have sex, strength will follow along with confidence. I shall produce your graduation ceremony. I'll introduce you to some of the beautiful Fallen Angel women among my subordinates. They'd also probably be happy to have sex if their partner is a legendary Dragon."
"Uoooo! Seriously!? I can graduate?! I will follow you, Sensei!" Issei shouted in determination.
"Can somebody stops their stupidity? Like, now....absolutely now..." I demanded.
"I should've left this room ages ago..." Orion complained, seeing two perverts talking to each other.
"Aren't you being a hypocrite (Y/N)-kun?" Azazel laughed at me. "Aren't you forming a Harem as well?"
"Of course (Y/N)-kun forming his own Harem, with me as the Alpha!" I did a spit take by what Kurumi said. Later, almost every girl in the room looks at the Time Witch, potentially started World Waifu War once more.
"And who are you to decide that? I'm his pseudo master! I am potentially the Alpha of his harem!"
"I'm the one who dated him first...I'm his main loli..."
"Ufufu, I believe that I'm more suited for the position,"
Within seconds there was a large scale argument about who would be the Alpha as I sat there, feeling the sense of Vietname's War flashback.
"Dear Bruce Almighty, what have you done Azazel...? What have you invoke to my once quiet life as a Dream Demon?" I pondered as the rest of the boys sighed at my misfortune.
"Naturally, use Dream Demon form polygamies. So you don't require Azazel's teaching." Bill casually said, ultimately laughing at me.
"I didn't ask for this..."
"Well, this place has become a location for representatives from the three-way alliance. The Governor of the Fallen Angels, the Devil King's little sister, backup from the Angel's side, and a legendary Dragon. Let's all get along from now on. THe current objective is for the Welsh Dragon to perfect Balance Break. And for all of you to power up. You should train and achieve that during summer vacation."
"I don't think you're the kind of guy who'll train me," I interjected his idea.
"Heh, I knew you'll say that, but it's not me going to train you." Azazel quickly debunked me, showing his mischievous smirk. "Castiel is the one you'll be training under. I'm just gonna train those three Fallen Angel you owned as they getting more involved with this situation.
"W-What? To be trained by Azazel-sama..." Raynare was shocked hearing the offer from the Governor himself.
"That would be..." Kalawarner was also shocked by the offer as well, feeling determined yet nervous. Mittelt was so shocked, that she lost of words, unable to reply.
"You three have showed more progress than normal Fallen Angels anyway." Azazel added. "I'm sure you'll be able to rise in rank in no time."
"We also have to become stronger too?" Rias asked the man which he shook his head.
"It doesn't hurt to become stronger. So, according to a talk, there's going to be a meeting of young Devils in few days, right? I heard Rias Germory was included among the names of promising young Devils that are close to debuting."
"Yes, noble families and old families meet together with several young Devils. It seems to be a custom."
"Is it fine to think about games at time when a terrorist attack occurred?" Issei couldn't hold back his question.
"I in fact recommend it," Azazel answered that. "Battles in the games will be good experience for current young Devils without previous battle experience. It's because the present Devils are crowded together with reincarnated Devils of humans, Fallen Angels and Demonic Beasts. They are troubled by their opponents. Abundant battlefields have been established and fighting methods have come in an infinite variety responding to that. There isn't a favourable envirment for training young people like this. Unexpectedly, Sirzechs and the others have looked at the current situation with the future in mind when they created these games. They makes them compete with other Devils and the quality of power is raised. Since they're a greedy group, it fits them. What crafty guys they are."
"Geez, make us out to be the big bad alright." Kokichi muttered.
"Don't worry, I'll drive into you how to use your personal power and your Sacred Gear's power," Azazel gave us a creepy smle. And there are plans for the matches to be set during your training camp as well. I believe they're doing it in the Rating game style. I've already finished probing Sirzechs about it. Kukuku, there's the Boosted Gear which has begun an unknown evolution along with (Y/N0's power becoming more interesting. And there's also the holy demonic sword. Futhermore, there's the Forbidden Balor View and other Sacred Gear users in this place. I'll drive my research results into them and explore their original evolved forms."
As everyone looks at the Fallen Angel laughing like maniac, I pondered about more things. With my current power, Samuel's talk, training...I don't know if I can take all of the mess in one go.
"Welp, there's nothing more I have to say, everyone's dismissed for now." Everyone began to leave the room with Rias reluctantly followed the order. I stayed behind for a moment before letting out a frustrated sigh. Kurumi noticed that I didn't move from my chair as she made her way towards me, concerned of my well-being.
"Is there something wrong, darling?" She asked, sitting next to me while putting her hand on mine. "Is there a girl stalking you? Should I shoot her to death with my guns?"
"That is very unnecessary..." I deadpanned at her suggestion before looking towards Azazel. "Azazel, I want to talk to you-"
"Huh, what a coincidence...I want to talk about your hair and why you reek of Ophis," Azazel placing both of his hand behind his head. "Both of you and Kurumi, especially Bill."
I looked at Bill who stills showing the sign of guilty of his actions, standing up from his sit before materialized in front of us with his power. "There, I'm h-" Before he could finish, he fell down onto his knees, coughing in pain.
"BILL!" I quickly jumps out of my chair followed by Kurumi as we kneel down near him. "What's wrong?!"
"As I suspected," Azazel let out a disappointed sigh as he stare at us with a cold glare. "Bill Cipher is dying..."
"...Excuse me..." My eyes widen in shock as I stared back at the Fallen Angel. "What?"
