Chapter 11- The Source of All Evil
Third Person's POV
"If the source of evil is a primordial being, could it possibly stronger than us?" asked Airi as Claud and her is lying down on the grass, thinking of what does the leader of all evil looks like or how powerful is it.
"Well, I don't know but I think that he is a god-like creature because he controlled the fallen angels and the exorcists' minds, right?" suggested Claud
"You have a point. It may be a descendant of a devil."
"Stray devil, you saying?" asked Claud to Airi's statements.
"Also, our parents fought so many devils, their fellow devils and evil gods such as Riser, Cao Cao, Loki…" Airi stopped when she said the name of Loki.
"Is there a problem, Airi?" asked Claud as he looked at his best friend's serious face.
"Loki is a god based from Norse Myths, right? He could trick anyone and baam! He can manipulate them!" Airi exclaimed as she stood up and went inside the based, leaving Claud lying down alone.
Airi is always good when it comes to fantasy and mythology. She's the second person on their family to have a lot of knowledge in magic, but Helmwige is the first since she's a daughter of a Valkyrie and a teacher of magic. She glanced out the front yard, where she could see Hiroe and Ex are sparring at each other. Draco is sitting under a tree, stopping the leaves from falling using his Sacred Gear.
She grabbed a book with red hard cover from the wooden book shelf until one book with now a green hard cover fell. She noticed that the book fell and she got it, "Hmm…nature magic," she read at the title in front. She already read this before so she put it back on the book shelf. As she was about to open the book, a silver magic circle appeared behind her, revealing Vali had returned from his travel on Kyoto.
"Hi, Mr. Vali!" Airi greeted.
"Reading again? Such a bookish child," Vali laughed at her, "Your brother is out there training. He's becoming an expert when it comes to swordsmanship," Vali said as they look outside, seeing Ex fighting Hiroe with his Sacred Gear.
"Yeah. He's very determined. But I'm sad that he still didn't make up with dad yet," said Airi as her beautiful emerald eyes looked outside.
"So how's the dragon? Is she okay now?" asked Vali. Airi already told them to not kill the dragon, Roma, because she's endangered and kind for Airi had tamed her kindly like she did to Lily, a sprite dragon. Now she has three dragons; Fafnir the golden dragon king, Lily the sprite dragon, and Roma the Western forest dragon.
"She's fine, Mr. Vali. There's nothing to worry about," said Airi smiling.
Suddenly, a crimson coloured-magic circle appeared inside the base, releasing a powerful energy. It revealed to be Rias Gremory and Issei Hyoudou as the light had gone. Airi, on the other hand, stepped back as she saw her mom Rias is there.
"H-hi, mom! G-goo-good t-to see you," she said with a nervous smile.
"There's nothing to worry about, dear. We have news to bring here," said Rias. But, a loud shot coming from the door sounds as Ex pushes the door hardly without knocking. He is a bit surprised to see his mother and father inside.
"Now, here's where you hide, young man," said Rias as the she shook her head.
Rias, Issei, Vali, along with the new members of ORC club talked about the leader of the manipulation of the fallen angels. Issei revealed that it is all because of Loki, a Norse god who had escaped from Underworld last month. It is unexpected for seal that was put on him destroyed as he managed to do so.
"No way! Now what are we going to do? Loki is stronger than us. There's no way we could beat him," said Draco worriedly as he looked at his friends. Yes, it's true that they're not strong enough, they haven't competed in any Rating Games yet!
"I can't use my father's Sacred Gear though. I think I only inherited mom's water magic," said Hiroe sadly. But, Ex, with full of determination, spoke up in confidence as he fist bumped the air.
"What are you all talking about? What about our trainings that we took seriously only to prove to our parents and also, to protect our town from those strangers?! Well, duh to you guys! We need to take this seriously, we should be brave for the upcoming threats that'll going to happen any moment from now," said Ex and the people inside got surprised because of his sudden action. Everyone looked at him in awed and this make his peerage smile at him.
"You know, I agreed with Ex. What is the purpose of our hard work if we wouldn't fight? We can do this, together," said Airi, agreeing at her brother's statements. Issei and Rias stood up from their seats as Issei asked, "So, this is the new Occult Research Club?" the five members stood up and shouted, "Yes!"
