Welcome to the next chapter of The Magic Knight, before starting the story. Let's answer some reviews:

Hellspam: Thanks. I already have most of the people already planned out.

Dark White Fang: Their names are similar, but their styles are different. I know, they kind of downplayed the character's ability and their development. And the ending of it, I mean really…Asura the Kishin, the main villain taken out by a single hit. Not that I don't like Maka, she is one of my favorite characters from Soul Eater, but come on…the Kishin, the guy who defeated Lord Death (to be more specific injured Death) twice was taken out with a single hit.

Guest: Liu Bei will eventually show up in the story. Thanks.

King0fPowers: Sup Knight! It was Volume 5: Life 02 part 07. The chapter may have seemed to be bland due to the lack of action. Similar to it, but it is a Yamaha. It will be a superbike, besides knowing Lance he will be upgrading it to a higher model. Yea, the real action had started after summer ended. They will be fighting eventually in the later chapters. It would probably be all of the above.

TheDarkLord666: He will be getting stronger to the point where you could call him that.

Tohka123: Yea, for him it would be. The bomb has been dropped and now they know how he feels about them…can you imagine the embarrassment when he finds out? It kinda got to me too, it was like life had something against Peter; first his parents, his uncle, and now his girlfriend. Finding twelve people will be a bit difficult for her, especially someone who's as old and as experienced as her. I will.

DdraigTrueEmperor9: Thanks. I'm glad that you found both those scenes funny. In this, I really didn't have Saji share the same feelings that he did in the canon. I don't think they knew about her sacred gear, if they did then they would not have sent Xenovia (Cannon) at her knowing that she can repel her attack. To answer your question Mycenae was the name of a site that his ancestor was said to have founded. I think the same thing, it's kind of hard to decided to root for most of the time; there's both Sona and Sairaorg who wants to better the future for younger devils, but to the Gremory who just want to win. That is the reason why I added Christian as their instructor. I had thought of a couple of people to fill in a good portion of the spots, but that will be said in the ending notes. I really want to keep Tobio a human, since he's so much of a boss already as a human, plus he leads his own team.

Guest 2: It does sound like an interesting idea to have Tamamo-no-Mae as either his pact creature or brave saints.


The Second Term Begins

Inside of an exceptionally sizeable high-tech lab located inside another room next to the library on the top floor of the Du Lac Residence. Within the room were a different variety of unique equipment. To be prepared for the upcoming second-term, Lance was already dressed for school the only thing that he wasn't wearing was the school's blazer.

Currently, he sat down in a swivel chair with a black laptop mixed with green unique designs on its frame. This wasn't one bought for him by the Ambrosius Family or that he purchased from any kind of electronic store. Instead this laptop was personally built by him from its hardware to components, however, it was connected to a private information server belonging to a friend of his. Lance had access to different types of information that resolved around the subject of magic and alchemy, but not the information that its designer was working on. One of the machines in the room was connected to the honda motorcycle that Lance had brought from the garage; being projected in the air was a holographic image of it.

"I guess that I could use a different metal for the frame that shouldn't add too much weight yet be light at the same time, I also need to redo the engine," Lance said to himself as he examined the information on the motorcycle scrolling down onto his lap top's monitor. "It would probably take me a while to do this."

[Human technology really interests me.] A familiar voice had sounded in the room, in response to this Lance turned around and saw Avon with his wings spread outwards; they also seemed to release a gold radiance from them. His attention was caught towards the holographic projections in front of him. [Humph, saying that makes me really sound old.]

"Well, you are older than I am by…I don't know over a thousand years," Lance responded while resting both his hands behind his head. "But, I can't exactly blame you. You have been inside of a jewel for a long time. By the way, did you find anything about?"

[Somewhat, all that Tannin could inform me of was what happened the last time we met one another.] Avon explained as he continued to think it over to himself, but like before he could not come up with anything and so he decided to change the subject. [So, are you just going to fix up this thing?]

"I'm not just going to fix it, I'm going to turn this into a superbike."

Lance declared with a gleam in his eyes, one that would only belong to someone interested in the topic of magic and science. The many ideas of what he could do to with the bike began to pop into his head at an extraordinary rate. After catching a hold of it, Avon had looked towards him with an odd look on his face almost as if he was looking at someone else. After coming out of his trance, Lance had sighed slightly and turned off his computer. He then began to stretch his arm outwards as he stood up from out of his chair.

"Well, I'm going to be the last to leave at this rate," Lance mumbled as he reached towards the back of his chair picking up his blazer that rested on the back of his seat. "Alright, let's go, Avon."

[Right.] Avon answered.

Suddenly Avon's body turned into something without shape and shot directly into the palm of Lance's hand. Soon enough it took the shape of his palm-sized platinum-colored compact form; Lance then took it and placed it inside the holster placed on the left side of his pants. Unlike other sacred gears that would be difficult to show in public without many questions being asked, it would be easy for him to say that this was just any regular charm that he bought. He then left from the laboratory after he had placed his laptop into his dimensional storage.


On their way towards school, Lance continued to walk forward with everyone else who lived in the Du Lac Residence. Yumi, Jeanne, and Yuuma were all dressed in the Kuoh Academy females' uniform. Though amongst the three transfers into Kuoh, Yuuma had sighed and looked towards the three females among Lance's brave saints with a suspicious look on her face.

"Alight, not that I wasn't going to move in even if it was against your wishes." Yuuma started off in more of a confused tone. "But, why did you three call me…someone who has insulted you three many times and actually give me permission to move in?"

Her question was sensible, after everything that she has said to the three of them. Why would they suddenly just call out of nowhere and give her permission to move in? The single bluenette and the two blondes just stared at her with a knowing look on her face.

"Well, since we are going to be in the same school as one another. It would be pretty weird if we didn't at least try to be friends, right?"

Xenovia answered in a pretty straightforward tone, something that the two blonde agreed with.

"Xeno-chan's right, plus we did fight with one another once and chances are we will be again. So, we should the least we could do is gain some trust in each other."

"But, it would be helpful if you didn't call us dumb blondes."

Both Jeanne and Yumi added the latter wore a smile on her face, while the former wore just a normal smile. Seeing the normal smiles that they sent in her direction, Yuuma made a very complicated look on her face and looked away from their gazes.

"I don't promise anything. A-And stop looking at me like that!" Yuuma said with a faint look of embarrassment appearing on her face before it turned into a fearless smile appeared on her face. "But, don't think that will get you on good terms with me."

In that final sentence, the three could only agree with what she said.

"That's fine. I see it as a challenge!" Xenovia bravely stated.

""We Knights don't take a challenge lightly!""

Seeing the four of them interacting could only cause both Lance and Sona to let out a slight laugh.

"I never thought I'd see them attempting to interact with one another."

"Yea, but I can already see that it may cause some minor troubles in the future."

"Speaking of issues there was something that caught my attention."

"And what would that be?"

"It's not exactly a serious issue, but it is something that I never thought I'd here. The next heir to Arch-Duke family…Agares lost to Diodora Astaroth."

It was something that caused Lance to recall towards the meeting of the young devils, the light blonde-haired young woman who looked to be a bit older than him. During their first meeting, he could already tell that she had an impressive flow of demonic power.

"Not that I'm saying that Diodora is weak, but I didn't think that Seekvaira would lose."

"Are you two friends?"

"No." The answer that she gave him was a bit cold, so much so that it shocked Lance. "If anything we're more like rivals. She's every bit as intelligent as I am, her peerage members…especially her Queen is someone who can give most high-class devils trouble. Plus, the demonic power that Diodora showed at the end was a bit odd. His demonic powers weren't that high before the summer started and he isn't the type to put any effort in training like most normal high-class devils."

"Diodora that guy who proposed to Asia-chan? Isn't he the younger brother of the current Beelzebub?"

Due to Chris' pact with the current Beelzebub that already lasted for a couple years, Lance had already heard somewhat about him from Chris.

"He's also the same guy who Asia-chan healed, then causing her to get excommunicated afterward."

After saying that everything began to feel somewhat odd to him, but he had no more time to think about it since they had already arrived in front of the school building. And so their second term started.


The opening ceremony had already ended after some time and the students of Kuoh Academy had begun the preparations for the September Event; the Sports Festival. For the upcoming year, the number of students who "shed their skin" had increased with the numbers being called the "Summer Debut". Something where people uses their summer break to make major changes to themselves; ranging from girls changing their hair styles to guys having their hair changed by a beautician.

Inside of homeroom class were Lance, Issei, and the others' classes were; Lance was currently sitting at his desk with his hands resting behind his head. As he sat there he could hear the students as they talked to one another about their separate summer break experiences.

Amongst one of them was Xenovia and Asia who talked with Katase and Murayama; the girls from the Kendo Club. From the laughter that came from the mouths of his cousin and his fiance/queen, he couldn't help but smile at them making friends with the students in the class.

"I'm glad to see them making friends. Now…." Lance had said after releasing a slight sigh from his mouth. "Alright, why are you two glaring at me like that?"

The ones who he was referring to were Issei's two friends, Motohama and Matsuda; or better known to the student body as the Perverted Duo. Minutes after the class had started both had begun sending glares at Lance for reasons that he could only guess. Sitting behind him was Issei who looked somewhat distant from their conversation.

"I just heard that you spent the entire summer with the three foreign beauties on an island!"

Matsuda had claimed with an angered look on his face. The look that was sent at Lance caused him to sweat drop. Motohama had only fixed his glasses with a slight glint appearing in them.

"What exactly is your relationship with the two beautiful blondes in the same class the Yuuto Kiba?" Motohama questioned.

"I really don't see how that's your problem." Lance retorted while looking away from the two of them. "I wonder how their transition in their new class is going?"


With Yumi and Jeanne

[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]

Currently, inside of Kiba's homeroom class, both Yumi and Jeanne stood in front of the class with a soft smile on their face. Their teacher stood beside them with a normal expression on her face before turning towards the two of them.

"Well, class as you can see we have two new transfer students in our class. Would you two like to introduce yourselves?"

After hearing their teachers beckoning them, Jeanne stepped up first with a bright smile on her face.

"Ohh! Let me go first!" Jeanne held her hand out. After receiving a nod of confirmation from her teacher, Jeanne stepped forward in front of the class. "Hello everyone~ my name is Jeanne d'Arc. I hope that I can get to know each and every one of you~ So, let's get along!"

Jeanne's cheerful tone could be felt by everyone inside of the classroom and caught all of their attention. The saintly smile on her face could capture the hearts and attentions of those around her. Afterward, everyone's attention was caught towards the one who they were a bit more curious about.

"She's so cute yet beautiful."

"Well, I guess that it's my turn," Yumi mumbled to herself. "Hello, everyone my names Yumi Kiba. I think from a single glance you can tell that I look almost the same as my dear Onii-chan sitting right there."

Yumi said that last part in more of teasing tone much to the embarrassment of Kiba who could only wear his a usual wryly smile. Neither of them really knew which one of them were born first, but Yumi had decided to just tease him by saying that he was her Onii-san in a cute voice that you could only hear from a younger sister.

"So now we have the perfect set!"

"The birth of the Kuoh Academy Royal Duo!"

[All hail the Prince and Princess of Kuoh Academy!]

Everyone in the classroom cheered causing Kiba to smile nervously. Van who sat behind him couldn't help but laugh at what was going on.

"She's enjoying this a bit too much," Kiba mumbled to himself.

"Well, you know what they say about karma Kiba."

What Van was referring to was all the times that Kiba had made fun of him about Lacus.


Back with Lance and the others

"Smells like virgins."

The one who laughed at the Perverted Duo was the spectacled female pervert of Kuoh Academy, Kiryuu. Her comment was mainly directed at the two perverts who currently sent intense glares at them.

"Shut up Kiryuu!"

"Did you really come here just to laugh at us?!"

After hearing Kiryuu, she smiled and only nodded her head in agreement.

"Fufufu. Since it's you guys, I'm sure you guys spent a worthless summer."

"Shut up!"

Both them glared at the comment that she made, but were then ignored the both of them and turned her attention towards Issei.

"By the way, Hyoudou. Lately, Asia acts weird at times, do you know the reason for that?"

Hearing the question that came from her caused Issei to snap out of his trance; he couldn't help but go back to the dream that he had about Asia actually marrying Diodora and moving on. The thought of that alone was enough to terrify him. Issei glanced in the direction of where both Asia and Xenovia were as they talked to the friends that they made since coming to school.

He could already tell that despite the smile that was on her face, she was still a bit unnerved by what happened with Diodora. It was understandable for Kiryuu to be worried since she was one of the main friends that Asia had.

"It's nothing…just some guy who has been bothering her."

"Oh, if that's it why don't her Onii-san deal with him? Or you?"

Kiryuu questioned the two of them with a somewhat worried look on her face.

"I wish that I could do that, but it's a complicated situation."

Lance answered calmly with Issei agreeing with him on the topic. If Diodora wasn't a high-class devil and also the younger brother of the current Maou, then it may have already been handled already. In almost a minute one of the students in their class entered the room and began to breathe heavily.

"H-Hey! This his urgent!"

This caught the odd glances of the students who were inside the classroom; after catching his breath he looked towards the class and announced.

"There is a transfer student coming! It's a girl!"

[Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!?]

"Um, it might be unusual during this time of the year but a new student will be joining us."

Everyone in class aside from a couple was excited by the news from the teacher.

"Come in!"

The one who came into the classroom was….

[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]

There was a shout of joy that came from the guys inside the classroom. Appearing inside of the class was a chestnut-haired girl who had it tied in twin tails with a cross hanging around her neck, she wore the female school uniform, but wears black shorts under her skirt and white sneakers with blue accents.

Those among the supernatural made a shocked look on their face except for Lance who only smiled with his usual expression. Making a cheerful look on her face, Irina looked towards the class and winked.

"My name is Shidou Irina. Everyone, let's get along!"

Hearing her introduction the male class became to cheer until….

"Hey, Lance-kun!" Irina waved cheerfully with a bright smile on her face.

Seeing Irina waving happily at him, Lance waved back with his usual smirk on his face.

[Huuuuh!]

Every male in the class shouted in disbelief after hearing her calling out Lance, this caused all of them to look towards him while releasing killing intent.

"Why's my future baby mama talking to you?!"

"How exactly does she know you?!"

"Stop taking all the cute transfer students!"

Lance didn't know who said that first part, but it still caused him to twitch his eyebrow out of annoyance; neither the killing intent nor the glares fazed him to the slightest.

"Would you guys keep it down?" Lance asked in a low tone causing them to instinctively back off after unleashing just small portion of his ki. It was the only way that he could end this situation before it escalated even further. "She's not finished yet."

"Lance-kun along with Ise-kun and I go way back," Irina answered disregarding the looks that were on her classmates' faces. "After all we're childhood friends."


New School BuildingK.O.C Club Room

Inside of the large formerly unused classroom that had gone through renovations by Lance to make it a bit more comfortable for their members and visitors. Though they couldn't be seen by the naked eyes, there were invisible magic symbols along the walls of the room that kept normal people along with others from eavesdropping on them. Standing in front of the windows inside of the room were Irina, Yumi, Jeanne and Yuuma; in front of them were both Lance and Xenovia.

"I hereby induct the newest members of the Knights of Chivalry; Shidou Irina, Kiba Yumi, Jeanne d'Arc and Amano Yuuma," Lance said in a tone benefiting for the captain of his own group. "Now, my Fuku-Taichou (Vice Captain), Xenovia shall you present them with their honorary badges."

"With these badges, you harbor the responsibility benefiting for a member of this club." She had explained as she pinned the badge on each of their collars. "Now, from this day forth you are all official members of the Knights of Chivalry. I hope to work well with all of you."

[Okay!] The four of them responded with a smile on their face.

"So, Lance-kun what is our jobs in the club?"

Hearing that question from Irina, Lance walked over towards his desk and pulled out the "K.O.C Request Box" that those from the Student Council made for him.

"What we do is answer requests from the students of Kuoh Academy. The sometimes vary from helping them with homework to personal problems outside their school life and for each request depending on the nature of the request you receive a form of monetary compensation written onto the slip, but it won't be excessively costly. We can also receive a request from another grade division in Kuoh Academy along with assisting the Student Council with different affairs. If needed we will also run different programs to help raise funds for the school." Lance explained their club's job in detail. "Now, for those few students who are aware of our true nature. We also sometimes receive supernatural requests that end with use receiving great monetary compensation or receiving a rare item. It ranges from a monster extermination, de-cursing items, etc."

"So basically like a devil's job?" Yuuma asked.

"Well, there are some people who still believe that Devils' contracts require their soul as a form of payment."

"I think that this is an amazing club Lance-kun." Irina cheered, but a question popped into her head. "But, wouldn't we need a club adviser?"

It was true most clubs would need a club adviser, which is why he had asked a teacher to be their temporary one until finding an actual one.

"I was told that we will be given an actual adviser when the semester started," Lance explained to them. "And Sona-chan wouldn't tell me who it was."

"Lance-sama shouldn't we begin organizing the requests?"

Xenovia suggested as she opened up the request box revealing that there were students who already sent them some requests.

"Alright everyone lets see what we got this time."

At Lance's response, everyone began to pick of some requests from the box and began going over them. Sitting down in their seats everyone went over the requests.

"We have two supernatural requests." Xenovia answered. "One of them being a simple demon extermination along with a stray devil, then exorcising a high-level evil spirit."

"We have requests for assistance with training for sports club members and a physical work out."

"This is unrelated, but did you guys here about that new history teacher?"

Yumi asked as she looked away from the requests in her hand.

"What happened?" Lance questioned back.

"Well, I heard that she gave out information to the class that was a bit too accurate almost as if she were there herself. Though the students seemed to enjoy her lecture, she carried a—"

KNOCK KNOCK

Before Yumi could finish there was a knock at the door. Thinking that it might be their adviser, Lance got up from his president's chair to open the door. After opening the door, he greeted the person who he thought was their club adviser.

"Well, you must be our…wh-what're you doing here?" Lance paled as he saw who it was in front of him.

"Who is it Lance-kun?" Jeanne asked with a wondering look.

After everyone looked to see who it was, they shared the same look of shock on Lance's face.

"Hellooo~ Lance-chan and everyone~!" A familiar female's voice said cheerfully. "The Magical Girl, Levi-tan from the Underworld has come today as your adviser. Buuut~ I'd prefer it if you all call me Serafall Shitori in front of everyone else."

It was indeed Serafall Leviathan who appeared in front of them dressed not in her usual magical girl outfit, but instead a formal uniform; a buttoned up formal jacket and a long skirt. In Serafall's hand, she was spinning around a magical staff in her hand. She was the last person that he ever expected to see here.

"S-Sera-tan…err I mean Serafall-sensei?"

"Oh, Lance-chan you can call me Sera-tan."

"Then Sera-tan, what're you doing here?"

"Huh?" Serafall questioned with a confused look before returning to her usual smile. "Well, when I heard that Lance-chan and the others needed a club adviser. Since Azazel-chan is Rias-chan and the others club adviser, I asked if I could act as Lance-chan's club adviser."

"So that's what…waaaiit," Lance answered as he reminisced about just after the conference and came back to what Azazel had mumbled after mentioning that his club adviser was already picked. "That son of a…."

"Is Lance-chan not happy about me being here? Oh, my precious So-tan nor Lance-chan wants me here."

Serafall asked in a somewhat sad tone. Lance then looked towards her with a wryly smile on his face, while waving his hands in front of him.

"No, of course, I'm happy to see you Sera-tan. Welcome to the Knights of Chivalry."

"Thank You, Lance-chan. I will assist you all in any way I can." Serafall declared.


Old School BuildingOccult Research Club

"Shidou Irina-san, Amano Yuuma-san, Kiba Yumi-san and Jeanne-san. I welcome you all to our school."

At the Occult Research Club in the old school building; the official members of the club, Azazel, Chris their new English teacher, the new history teacher, Serafall; Lance and Xenovia. Everyone gathered inside the room to welcome Irina, Yumi, Jeanne and Yuuma who just transferred into Kuoh Academy. It could also be seen that Konoka personally took it upon herself to make Issei's lap her own personal seat.

"Yes! Everyone! Well, there are people I'm meeting for the first time but most of you I have met before. My name is Shidou Irina! Church…. No, I came here to Kuou academy as a messenger of the angels!"

"I hope we can all get along~"

"I'm happy to be here with everyone."

"Tch, I got stuck in another class without Lance-kun in it." Yuuma sighed with a bit of frustration in her tone, but she shook it off and looked towards everyone with a slight smile. "But, I hope we can have a great year with one another."

CLAP CLAP CLAP

Everyone gave out their own applause after hearing their comments about attending school with them. From what everyone could already tell there was many races amongst them, the devils who already inhabited this town to the fallen angels from Grigori and even being given support from the Angels of Heaven. After giving out her introduce, Irina began to give a speech amount the "Gratitude to the Lord" and "Michael-sama is Great". Upon hearing it most of the people in the room made a bitter smile on their face.

Though there was a single thought that came to Issei's mind. After Koneko had got off of him he leaned forward towards Xenovia's direction and asked.

(H-Hey Xenovia.)

(Why are you speaking in a low voice?) Xenovia asked back.

(Irina doesn't know about the death of God right?)

(Well, about that—)

Before she could respond, Azazel had plainly came out with it.

"You do know about the death of "God from the Bible" right?"

"S-Senseiiiiiiiii! You can't suddenly ask her something like that!"

Hearing Issei's response, Azazel had just sighed at his antics and responded back.

"Idiot. If she's here then she received the mission while knowing all about it. Listen, this place is one of the most important places among the territory of the Three Great Powers Alliance. If someone affiliated comes here, then it means they are stepping foot in while having basic knowledge of it."

Irina nodded as Azazel's words.

"Of course Governor-sama of the Fallen-Angels. Don't worry Ise-kun. I already know about the absence of the Lord."

"Wow, you're really tough. I never thought Irina, who has such a strong belief in the teachings, would come here without being shocked at all."

A pause after those words left Issei's mouth, many tears began to leak out from both Irina's eyes and she fell down onto the ground landing on her knees.

"Of course I'm shocked! My spiritual support! The center of the world! Father of many creation dieeeeeeed!? I was living while believing in all of the teachings so I spent 7 days and 7 nights sleeping when I heard the truth from Michael-sama! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, Lord!"

As tears leaked from her eyes, Irina hugged onto the table causing most of the people in the room to look at her oddly except for a couple.

"I understand how you feel," Asia interjected as she approached her.

"I know." Xenovia added.

"Even I can understand, I also grew up with a strong belief. Oh, the saint within me was also in tear." Jeanne said out dramatically with a bit of tear leaking from her eyes.

"Asia-san! I'm sorry for calling you a witch last time! I even said horrible things to Xenovia when we said our goodbyes! I'm sorry! Jeanne-san I know that I didn't say anything to you, but I'm also sorry."

Asia and Xenovia smiled at Irina's apologies along with Jeanne.

"I don't mind. I'm hoping we can get along since we all love the same Lord."

"Same as me. I'm happy that we are reunited like this."

"Ohhhh~ the feeling inside this room is making me cry."

[Ah, Lord!]

The four of them began to pray to Michael. Interjecting into their moment was Azazel who coughed into his head.

"Can I assume that you are Michael's messenger?"

"Yes, Azazel-sama. Michael-sama was troubled because were are barely anyone from the Heaven's side is here. He said it's a problem if none of the staff is in this area."

"Oh yeah, Michael did say something like that. This location is active with the power of those from either Heaven or the Underworld, but the ones who are actually working here are Rias and Sona Sitri's group and a small number of other people including myself. Well, it's functioning well enough with us but Michael said something so serious that he thinks someone from Heaven should also work here and said he would send someone. Heaven has already given a lot of support which is more than we can ask for. I said we don't need anyone but he said that he won't accept that and the one he decided to send is her."

Azazel had said while releasing a slight sigh. Since this place was only inhabited mainly by devils and fallen angles it wouldn't be weird if there were some angels. The something that neither the Gremory nor Sona could expect to happen, Irina body to let out a holy glow as she prayed once again and a pair of angel wings sprouted from her back. Seeing that Azazel placed his hand under his chin and asked.

"Your name is Shidou Irina correct? Did you go through the angel transformation?"

"Angel transformation? There is such a phenomenon?" Issei asked in confusion.

"No, the truth is there was no such thing until now. Though a possible theory was discussed between the scientists of Heaven and the Underworld…."

"Yes. I received Michael-sama's blessing and became a reincarnated angel. I heard that the Seraphs used the technologies of the Devils and Fallen Angels and made it possible."

After the alliance between the Three Faction, both the evil piece and artificial sacred gear technology was shared with heaven; resulting in the creation of the brave saints. The method of reincarnating humans into angels.

"The Four Great Seraphs and other Seraphs. The total of ten Seraphs decided to have twelve subordinates called the Brave Saints each with a position from an "Ace" to a "Queen" of the cards. The cards of King will be the position of the Angel-sama who would be the master."

"I see. The evil-pieces technologies. So they used the technology of the evil pieces and the artificial Sacred Gears of the Fallen Angels, huh. Man, Heaven sure did create an interesting thing right after we gave them our technology. If the Devils are chess, then the angels are cards, huh. Well, cards also have the meaning of "trump card" in them. After God's death, the increase of pure angels became nearly impossible until Christian here came up with a solution. So increasing the number of reincarnated angels would mean strengthening their forces."

Azazel said with an interested look on his face, but the statement that he said just before caught the attention of Rias.

"What other method did you mean?"

"Well, the original barrier for giving birth to angels was first developed so that one over there could be born without Gabriel falling." Azazel had said while pointing in the direction of Lance who narrowed his eyes at him by his statement of him. "Though their newer method led to the birth of some pure angel children, I guess they needed another method to increase Heaven's battle strength. I can also assume Michael and Gabriel handed you your own brave saints as well."

After saying those words, everyone looked in the direction of Lance who smirked and summoned the golden colored cards that he had remaining. Each of them gave off a faint glow that could be felt by the devils in the room. These were the brave saints that he received, the suit that he chose was the same as his mother's; making him the King of Hearts.

"Yea, I already used my Ace of Hearts on Yumi-chan, my Two of Hearts on Jeanne-chan, and my Queen of Hearts of Xenovia," Lance explained. "But, I still have ten cards left."

"It makes sense you already possess the same number of wings as a Seraph. Seeing how this is you we're talking about, I can only imagine the rest of your brave saints. If you are using such a system then it seems like there will be someone strong called a Joker hiding. The twelve members also represent the twelve apostles. Man, he sure does entertain me, that Elder Angel-sama."

Azazel had laughed out loud with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"I actually do have one," Lance stated as he pulled out another card that represented the Joker. "But, these cards are rare even amongst the Seraph and they are the same as the mutation pieces of the evil pieces."

"So what card are you then, Irina?"

Issei asked her with a wondering look.

"I'm an Ace! Fufufu, as Michael-sama's Ace. I received an honorable position! I can even die! Even if the Lord is gone, I can continue to live if I'm Michael-sama's Ace!"

As her eyes glittered, the symbol of an "Ace" appearing on the back of her hand.

"Also Michael-sama said he can see a special Rating Game between Evil-Pieces and Brave Saints happening in the future! He also said that right now only the angels of Seraph has them but in the near future High-level Angel-sama besides the Seraph would be given this system and is hoping for them to battle each other just like the Rating Games of the devils!"

The thought of a rating game with Devils vs. Angel caused most of the people in the room to widen their eyes from shock.

"There are those among angels and devils who are against the decision made by the top people. We had a relationship where we had wars against each other for a very long time, so there would be those who feel uneasy if we suddenly tell them to get along. But Michael sure has thought about it. Like that, he's preparing a representative war where they can make their arguments into battle techniques and they can release them. It's just like the World Cup or Olympics of the human world."

"Then would it be possible for us, the Gremory group, and the angels who are using this game system able to have a battle?"

Hearing the words the came from Rias, Azazel twitched his neck.

"Maybe in the future, it will. Even if I say that, not right away. At least ten years…or maybe twenty years. Well, around then would be a good time for you devil rookies and you will be able to enjoy it."

For people like them, twenty years didn't seem to be that long of a time, especially since both angles and devils has an almost limitless lifespan.

"Having a battle of strategy with Lance-kun sounds interesting," Sona said out loud with an interested look on her face. "It would also give me time to properly prepare my peerage."

"It does sound like an interesting idea."

The two heiresses thought of the idea of going up against Lance in the rating game with their evil pieces against his brave saints. Hearing the words the came from their mouths, Lance had made a confident smirk on his face.

"It would be great going up against you guys in the future."

"Looks like we are able to enjoy it." Kiba also looks interested.

Since he was the Gremory Group's Ace, of course, the idea of going up against the idea of angels would sound interesting to him.

"As Lance-kun's Ace, I won't let him down." Yumi declared agreeing with Kiba.

"Same goes for his two of hearts."

"And I as his queen."

Though everyone seemed to be excited about the future rating games, Gasper seemed to be a bit troubled.

"C-Churches are scary…."

Even with the alliance with the three factions, there were still Exorcists who continued their hunt on vampires. And negotiating with them would be a bit difficult for them more so than that of the devil's side. Those amongst the Church and Chivalric Order also began their own search in case a new evil would pop up while cooperating with Devils and Fallen Angels.

"Don't worry Gasper, I won't let them get to you."

Lance comforted as he petted Gasper on his head.

"Niiiii-Sama."

Gasper squealed as he wrapped his arms around Lance.

"Hey, Christian isn't the Chivalric Order currently going through some changes?" Azazel had questioned, with a wondering look. "After the mess with the paladins who replaced with original ones it's smart to make sure something like that never happens again."

"Most times it's rare for anyone to just sneak into the Chivalric Order due to both the barriers and security measures. But a person like Xander could break passed the barrier twice due to his knowledge of magic. After the losing most of the High-Tier Knights, Gawain and the others were hesitant in even promoting Knights without certain conditions." Christian explained. "Which is why a certain Exorcist assisted in fortifying the Chivalric Order. I think that it should be done in a couple more days."

"Wait, did that guy actually come out of hiding? I never expected that." Lance stated as he crossed his arms. "I'm friends with the guy and the most I hear from him is by either video chat or over the phone."

"It took the Khaos Brigade for that guy to start moving again." Azazel joked.

As the three of them got into a conversation with one another, everyone began to stare at them with a confused look on his face.

"Are you guys actually doing this right now?" Van questioned with a slightly annoyed look. "Who are you talking about?"

Taking note of the look on his face, Lance decided to just answer.

"The guys a descendant of the famous Alchemist who found a way to create the sacred stone, but he's also an Exorcist," Lance answered. "If you were to rank him, then he would be ranked fourth. His names Nicholas, he's also in charge of Alchemy for the Vatican."

"Aside from being an intelligent Alchemist, he is also in possession of a sacred gear. Though it's not fit for combat, it's useful in gathering and complying information…it's also a sub-species. I can't seem to fathom why sacred gears seem to go through the oddest changes in this era."

Azazel questioned with an amused look on his face.

"Let's stop these types of discussions here and start today's welcoming party for Shidou Irina-san."

Sona interjected with a smile on her face. She wanted everyone to get back to the point of them meeting here to begin with and that was welcoming the newest members of Kuoh Academy.

"All of the devils! I have been looking at you as my enemy and have been eliminating some! But Michael-sama said "We have to get along with them from now on, okay?", so I also hope I can get along with everyone! The truth is I personally wanted to get along with everyone! I would like to work hard as the representative of the Church! Please take care of me!"


After saying that the party to welcome everyone to Kuoh Academy began. It was at that very moment that a freshly made cake appearing on the table in the middle of the room with drinks for everyone already being prepared. Everyone just stood around the room talking with one another, while also eating the cake that was prepared for them. Even Asia who was still a bit shaken from the experience with Diodora was enjoying talking with Xenovia, Jeanne and Irina.

Though Sona had to stop her older sister from drinking sake along with Azazel since her drinking would lead to some unnecessary trouble more, even more so when she's sober.

Chris just leaned against the wall looking as she enjoyed her time with everyone and he couldn't help but smile at it.

"She looks to be enjoying herself," Lance said as he walked over to him. "So, is this going to cause any troubles between you and Ajuka-san?"

"What happens between the Gremory and Diodora has nothing to do with him. If that were the case then people would want to hold the entire Ambrosius Family responsible for every heinous act that Xander committed over the years."

"Good point, but this situation seems too odd to be just a coincidence," Lance stated as he looked in his direction with one of his eyes closed shut. "So, tell me how many of your contracted familiars do you have watching out for Asia-chan?"

Hearing that question from Lance caused Chris to smirk slightly.

"Three, and neither of them will be easy to discover even if your a master Senjutsu and I'm not taking any chances either."

"Yep, there's no such thing as coincidences in our life. The chances of him making a move on her any time are low."

"You may be right." Chris agreed with him before wanting to change the subject. "So, did you discover anything new during the training?"

Hearing the question, Lance crossed his arms with a fearless smirk fit only for a warrior appeared on his face.

"Well, after being punched in the gut for the last time then being put in-between the lines of both life and death. I thought of a new way of using my magic powers." Lance answered.

"Not that I'm interested in that, but you were kidding about the being put on the lines between life and death, right?"

"I may have gotten a bit too fired up that day and asked her to try a bit harder."

"Lance you know for a so-called combat genius that was a dumb move. You've seen what she can do with just a normal punch." Chris retorted with one of his eyes raised. "But, I wouldn't expect anything less. I can't wait to see what technique you came up with."

As the time began to pass everyone continued to enjoy the time that they had inside the Old School building.


Standing in front of an abandoned building on the outskirts of Kuoh Town were the members of the K.O.C Club. Once the party to greet the newest additions to kuoh academy, everyone needed to get back to their own work. Their reason for being here was to exterminate a stray devil who began to lead a group of demons. Both of which has been causing trouble since they left to train over the summer.

As everyone approached the building, neither of them could sense anything around them. It was just deathly silent.

"Are we in the right place?" Xenovia questioned.

"This is the right location that was on the request," Lance answered as he looked around. "This stray really did think that it'd be a good idea to act around this location. Either they aren't here or—"

[Oohhh. Who has come into our hideout?]

A creepy battle hungry voice came from all around them, but before anyone of them could react.

DOOOOOON!

From out of nowhere, a large fist had come down on top of Lance creating a medium-sized crater and generating a strong gust of wind. Using their hands the block the dust that was kicked up from the attack, the five-woman looked up and saw one of their targets.

It was the stray devil that stood to be around over five meters tall standing over the five of them, it had the appearance of a lion that stood on its hind legs. The stray looked down at Xenovia, Yumi, Jeanne, Yuuma and Irina with a slight perverse glint appearing in his eye.

[Ohhh, what delicious looking young ladies.] He said in a faux kind tone. [What can I do for you this fine evening?]

"You can die for one." Xenovia spoke out boldly.

[What a feisty one. I like that, but you can be a bit nicer to the one who just—.]

"Hmm, so he was good at hiding his presence. I thought as much." The stray could hear Lance's voice coming from on top of his head. "You have to at least be able to do that if you want to hide a humongous body like this."

[What the hell?! Get off my head?!]

"Nah, just give me a second." Lance pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket and directed it at the devil under him. Opening that he built into his phone that was meant for gauging things about a devil like this. "Let's see…it says here that you're a Stray Rook. I guess that's why your strength that was high huh?"

[How the hell could you know that?!]

"I find it fun to make stuff whether it's a new machine, a spell or technique," Lance explained as he jumped off its head and landed in front of Xenovia and the others. "This one is an Evil-Piece Scanning App, but this isn't on the same level as the one Ajuka-san made since his can scan anything abnormal about them. Mine just tells me what piece someone has..and from mines, it just tells me that you just a low-level one."

The nonchalant tone that Lance spoke in causing the stray in front of him to growl like the animal that he was. Hearing the growls that came from his mouth, a large number of demons began to come out from the darkness around them.

[You little bastard! We're going to tear you apart!]

"Wow, never heard that one before." Lance as he turned towards the girls behind him. "Dealing with these guys won't take that much effort to the point where using just normal light weapons will do. So, you guys handle the demons and I'll handle the stray."

[Right!]

At his command, the three of his brave saints summoned swords of light in their hands along with Irina, while Yuuma summoned a dark light spear in her hand. After getting into their fighting stance they charged forward towards the crowd of demons that surrounded them. Upon seeing them start their battles against the demons around them with far more refined skills. Xenovia chared at them with a sword of light that greatly resembled Durandal in terms of shape, but not power; annihilating demon after demon with precise yet sheer striking power. Following after her was Yumi who wielded a light sword that shared a motif of a katana in both size and sharpness as she cut through the demons one after another.

Dancing around them was Jeanne who nimbly dodged their attack while retaliating with her own. With them was Yuuma who threw her light spear forward piercing through the demons, she quickly summoning another one and throwing it at a demon who snuck up behind Jeanne killing it instantly.

"Be careful," Yuuma said in a caring tone.

"Alright, thanks, Yuuma-chan." Jeanne thanked her.

Seeing how well that they worked together causing Lance to nod his head in understanding just before turning his head towards the stray behind him.

"So, what to do about—?" Lance questioned, but stopped after the stay attacked him with his fist clad in a dense demonic power that generated a powerful shock wave. Without much care, Lance had dodged the attack before it could even reach him. After landing on its hand, he appeared in front of the stray's face and swung his leg kicking that he surrounded in aura it in its cheek with a great deal of force.

[Gah!] Blood spurted out from its mouth from the impact of the strike.

"Focusing aura at a single point to increase the destructive force of your attacks is what I learned during the summer, though I never really focused on aura training much in the Chivalric Order" Lance mumbled to himself and propelled himself off it and landed perfectly on the ground. "Did a kick like that really hurt a rook who's supposed to have a high defense?"

[Fuuuuuck Yoooooou!]

Channeling demonic power into its fist again, the stray launched its fist towards him. Holding his hand forward towards its fist, a gold crest-like mark appeared on the back of his hand; Lance activated a magic circle that had magic symbols related to angels that were also mixed in with other unique magic symbols. Upon making contact with the magic circle, the demonic power fired at him was neutralized.

"I thought that I could fully test this out in combat, but I guess that I was wrong."

Lance stated to himself, before vanishing from the stray's sight.

[Where the hell did he…?] The stray questioned before a large amount of blood spurted from its mouth. [Huh?]

Lance appeared in front of him with his fist embedded into its chest. His feet seemed to gives of a holy aura that was sent throughout its body. After removing his fist from its body, Lance moved away from the large stray as it fell onto its knee and spat out blood onto the ground.

[What did you―?]

"I just fused my light with my aura, then I just hit you with it," Lance explained as he looked in the direction of the girls who approached him. "Finished already?"

"Yep, just like you said it was an easy win," Jeanne answered.

"It did give us a chance to see how much our light power are." Xenovia added.

Seeing that none of them were injured, Lance faced the large devil in front of him.

"So, will you repent and turn yourself into the underworld or die here?" Lance questioned.

[Go to hell!]

"You first."

Suddenly the entire stray devil's body was engulfed in a mass of light and its body began to break down until nothing of its existence remained. Seeing that this job at finished quickly Lance turned towards them.

"So, what was the other request?"

"Next would be the high-level evil spirit."

"Okay, then let's go!"

[Yes, Taichou!]

The five woman who following behind him agreed with him.
