It has been several months since Rin and Yukio defeated Satan, and it is now a new school year.

"Ok Rin, you did better on this practice test than last time," said Yukio as he looked at a piece of paper.

"It's still a failing grade, if I want to become a Knight, I need to score 89 on the real test, and I only scored a 69 on the practice," said Rin as he took the paper from Yukio.

"But Rin, the written is only 69 points, the sword skill portion makes up the rest of the points," said Yukio.

"Yeah, but on the sword part I can't use Kurikara, I have to use one that is provided by the instructor," said Rin as he picked up a wooden sword that looked like a Katana.

"But with all the practicing you have been doing, I'm sure you can do it," said Yukio. Just then, Shura came busting in through the door with some other exorcists.

"You have a lot of explaining to do, Rin," said Shura.

"What is this about, Shura?" asked Yukio.

"Just an hour ago a store down town was attacked by a demon that was using blue flames," said Shura.

"Well it wasn't me, I've been here for the past four hours studying," said Rin.

"Is that true, four eyes?" asked Shura as she looked at Yukio.

"It's true; hell, he passed the written test first try," said Yukio who was mad about the four eyes crack.

"He passed the practice test on his first go?!" asked Shura with a stunned expression.

"Told you I've been studying," said Rin with a proud smile. Suddenly, the sky outside started to glow as a tower of blue flames shot into the sky.

"I'm going to guess that is where you might want to search next," said Rin. A few minutes later, Rin and the others were running up to a building where blue flames were burning.

"Took you long enough, Okumura brothers," said a demon with blue flames covering its human like body, which had a pair of horns and tail.

"Who are you, and why do you have the blue flames?" asked Shura.

"You can call me a Gate Piece; you see, I was created from the destruction of the Gehenna Gate," said the demon.

"What?!" asked Rin.
