NOW! I am still allowing PMing as long as it is RESPECTFUL! If you guys do anything like what those assholes did to me in the previous story, immediate block. No warning, nothing. Immediate block is what you get when you decide to be an asshole. Ahem, don't be afraid of lengthy comments, I tend to enjoy those the most and I do hope you all enjoy this story.

Now enjoy, and please...have fun with this new version.


"Hello, hello," Ritsuka smiled as he entered the classroom again. "I welcome you my third year to this special class," he closed the door as he turned to face the rather small class.

There were only about 9 people in Class 3 A, courtesy of Aizawa no doubt; but they knew what was expected of them. They knew that this teacher meant business.

"Today we will speak of what the Beasts of Humanity, that Mr. Toogata asked," he clapped as the others shifted. "I have been planning this for a while, so I do hope you all understand'

They had all seen that exhibit, they were all unnerved by it and they all knew it was something very...dangerous.

Something inhuman.

"Now," he began, eyes opening to reveal that he was surveying them with a critical look. "I will make it clear that the Beasts do not hate humanity. In fact...they love it."

"Huh?" Most of the class jolted at the explanation, some beginning to look confused as they tried to comprehend what he was saying.

"They love humanity so much that they would want to destroy it and remake it in an image that they find is perfection for our kind," Ritsuka began, pacing as he spoke. So no powerpoint. "It is a confusing conundrum but I want you to understand that Love can make people want to destroy the world. In fact, it was a lot more common back then."

"Like with the princess stealing and all the other fairy tale stuff," Nejire asked with a confused looked. "That kind of love that destroys?"

"Almost," he nodded. "This is more...primal in nature. More base, if you would,' he offered up. "They represent the most ugly parts of human nature, our ugliest desires that grow with civilization. Pity, regression, comparison, pleasure? All those things we are guilty of yet we cannot stop are not the seven sins that are known in the christain mythology are not these sins. They are their our own sins of humanity that are prevalent in everyday life. Though regression is something that I do not see."

"What does that mean," one student asked as Ritsuka stopped.

"Huh? OH! Regression as in the thought of going back to simpler times...let's say...no quirks," he shrugged as the class shuddered. "The older generations gripe about going back to the good old days?"

"The world was so bad by that point," one girl protested. "So much violence and discord! Heroes are meant to help people!"

"I hate this place so much," Ritsuka murmured to Count in French with a smile as the man snorted. "They are so completely indoctrinated that it's actually making my head hurt."

"They can't help it. We would have better luck in stealing children from foster care," Edmond shrugged, enjoying their confused looks. "You'd think they'd have a mandatory second language class."

"Oh shush," Ritsuka brushed him off. "Now," he smiled to the students. "We unfortunately have not found all known beasts, but we do know that some have split into 2 to cover the vast expanse of what they represent. Such as Pleasure."

This was...going to be a very conflicting day for those heroes students, if their teachers smile meant anything.

He went to speak again before abruptly stopping, Edmond got up quick as a flash a well; both of them whipped their heads to the window that looked out into the cityscape with a breathtaking view. The students watched as their teacher approached almost as if he was a lion stalking prey, placing his hand on the glass with his eyes closed.

"Send the Hassan 500 meters north," He murmured to Count who nodded, whipping out his phone to shoot off the message.

"Sensei…" A student called out, making him jolt in place before placing a smile right back on his face and turning to them all.

'Sorry, I felt something a bit weird," he coughed. "Now-"

"Vice," Edmond spoke, snapping them out of their stupor. "We have a problem," he coughed, handing him his phone.

"What...what in the hell," Ritsuka felt a headache forming as he sighed. "Great," he grunted. "Class Dismissed. I have a problem that needs to be sorted out."

He stomped out with Edmond laughing behind them and they could only sigh in relief as the tension filled air left.


"Who would have thought he would have sensed off," a grey hair man laughed as he and the rest of his companions rushed way from the scene.

'My brother is a heroic spirit contracted under him! Of course he would sense us," a sheepish man with a boyish like face whined as they all rushed out. "My connection to brother, that man's connection of the Knight of Knights, his connection to that lancer," he pointed to the smallest of the bunch so far away. "It's only right he sense us!"

"Your so scared Ruler," the grey haired man laughed.

"And your too relaxed about this Saber," he whined, as they reached the edge of town.

"Heh! He's a lot more scary that I gave him credit for," the red haired one, one that held a glint of insanity in his eyes, barked out a laugh. "I thought he'd be nothing more than a male slut who'd bow down to anyone whose stronger."

He didn't react to the staff under his neck courtesy of Ruler who glowered at him.

"My brother, a King, follows the one you would deem as a 'slut'," he hissed. "Do not call that person who gave up everything for everyone such a word again. Or anything of the like. I will not allow such slander," he warned. "He respects those who have lovers in Chaldea and only calls those who offer themselves to him willingly, those without partners."

"Yeah," the youngest hummed as he sat down on an abandoned crate. "My other selves adore him so I have this lingering feeling as well,' he murmured, hand over his heart. "So I won't tolerate disrespect." Hie eyes narrowed to the red head who smirked.

"So then I have a chance then," he grinned, choking when the staff was slammed into his throat.

"It seems that the Master of Chaldea can even muster respect of those only connected to the servants he already has," the gray haired one laughed out loud as they moved through the shadows to the empty fields of the country now, outside of the city.

"But of course! He has become a perfect lord in almost every way," the youngest gushed. "I can feel that much from my alternate selves! He's grown very much!"

"He looks a bit more evil than you described...but then again anyone else would have rotted away doing what he was doing…" grey haired hummed as the red head shrugged helplessly.

'More like he knows what he's supposed to do and what he's expected to do so he simply deals with it," the grunted out. "But enough on that. I thought we were focusing on finding grail pieces?"

"We are," the ruler instated, clutching his staff tighter. "But don't forget that we don't have the same capabilities as we would in our world," he sniffed. "Our sense for detecting mana is much lower than before but I know for certain that on piece is here in Japan...I just don't know where."

"Well, no use in waiting around," the gray haired one shrugged. "Let's get going."

"Yay," the red head drawled out before he smirked. "Maybe I'll be seeing you…"

"Freak," was the general thought of the other three.


"Hooo there," a voice called to Sirius who looked up only to gulp at the rather large ship she saw. "You Sirius?"

"Yes," she nodded as the woman whistled, sharp and ear piercing to the other people on the deck.

"You lazy bums get here! Jason! Dioscuri! Black Beard! Bartholomew! Anne! Mary! Nemo! Odysseus!" She barked out, turning her back to the Oki crew without much care.

"Yesh Drake, must you be so loud," the infamous Pirate hero Black Beard sighed as he entered their line of sight. "It's not cute or lady like at all you know! Your acting like an old hag now!"

"Who the hell you calling a hag you Otaku degenerate," she hissed as sparks began to crackle between the two of them as a new person came into their line of sight. She looked far too young to be in there kind of work, but as many heroes came to know looks are deceiving when it came to Chaldea.

"Haaha! Master told us to work with this crew to get the Drug Ring under control," she laughed as the others appeared with either tired or bored looks, she was joined by a rather busty blonde who seemed to be cooing over them.

"I say we could have handled this ourselves," Jason sighed, shaking his head as he moved to get the plank down. "Get up. We don't have all day," he called, turning his back again as he was seemingly grew bored.

"Right," Sirius yelped as Selkie nodded to his crew.

They felt awe around them as they got onto the boat that looked like something out of history books.

"Oi, you lazy bums," Drake yelled...at children? "Get to raising the sails!" She ordered, walking to the captains wheel.

'You heard her," a boy yelled who looked like all the other's . "My Nemo Marines don't slack! You better work!" He pointed his finger forward to the mass of them, they all gave a salute before yelling out-

"HAI!"

It had to be his quirk, similar to Ectoplasm? But...he was so young too...

They rushed off to finish their work as they began to head out to sea. Selkie began to order his crew to set up the radar machines and keep a look out from the ground of the ship to the look out. All the while the Chaldean heroes watched them in confusion as they immediately began to get to work and not even rest afterwards.

"Come on now," Drake smiled as she stood from her place at the wheel. "Rest a bit, we're not even far out enough to catch any prey," she laughed, head thrown back as the others lounged about the boat without much care. "Being overly cautious is how you miss the good prey."

"They could be using submarines-"

"With their cargo? I doubt it unless they want to die there in that small space," Mary huffed as Anne giggled. "Rest, no use getting strung up now," she brushed off, laying down on some empty crates that where brought to hold the equipment.

'We need to be diligent-" Sirius began to explain before she was cut off by Drake's laughter.

"And we will be! You don't work on the seas just to be lazy and not pick up a few tricks," Drake laughed with wink as they began to drift further and further out into the sea. "Not as long as we all have!"

"I don't know how Chaldea operates, but this is a serious mission on an international scale," Mick called out. "They are using children as mules and while your people have stopped many of the stolen children from being forced into mules, there is still the adults that-"

"I say we have a few hours before we're even going to need to keep an eye out," Drake chuckled out as she stepped away from the wheel. "You folks have any good sea shanties to pass the time?"

"Huh," Selkie asked as the others looked to one another in confusion. "Sea Shanties?"

"You can't be serious," Jason sighed as the Dioscuri, or Castor, turned his nose up to them in disgust. "Songs?"

"Not even one," Castor huffed as the others began to ask one another what sea shanties were supposed to be. "Honestly."

"Well," Drake smiled. "There once was a ship that put to sea. The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea. The winds blew up, her bow dipped down. Oh blow, my bully boys, blow!"

Her voice was deep and commanding as some of the heroes pulled out instruments and began to stomp on the boat. The tambourine, the violin and other sort of small strings, they began to smile as they looked to be right in there element.

(Alina Gingertail version from Youtube highly reccomended to get a sense of what I was going for. Annapantsu's as well.)

"Soon may the Wellerman come. To bring us sugar and tea and rum. One day, when the tonguing is done. We'll take our leave and go," she gave a dramatic bow as Bartholomew and Black Beard began to...tap dance?

"Ho," Nemo smiled as Drake continued her song.

"She'd not been two weeks from shore. When down on her a right whale bore. The captain called all hands and swore. He'd take that whale in tow," she sang joining the two men in their dance, the american like step dancing impressive as they never seemed to lose rhythm.

"HO!" The rest yelled as Anne and Mary returned with...was that alcohol?

"Soon may the Wellerman come. To bring us sugar and tea and rum. One day, when the tonguing is done. We'll take our leave and go," Drake yelled out as she grabbed a bottle and drank straight from it.

"What," Sirirus yelled as the others yelled out in happiness and began to drink from the bottles.

"Da-da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da," they sag as a few began to dance with one another, bottle still in hand.

"This...this is not appropriate," Selkie boomed as Nemo handed him a bottle. "No!" He yelped out, pushing the offending thing away as another came with a bigger bottle.

"Before the boat had hit the water. The whale's tail came up and caught her. All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her. When she dived down low," Drake belted out, a new bottle in her hand. When had she finished the first one?!

"HO," they all yelled as the Oki Marine Crew watched in awe as they…let loose one the job. They drank on a fucking boat that was theirs….

"Soon may the Wellerman come. To bring us sugar and tea and rum. One day, when the tonguing is done. We'll take our leave and go," Darke interlaced her arms with Pollux who smiled as they began to twirled with bright smiles.

"No line was cut, no whale was freed. The captain's mind was not of greed. And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed. She took that ship in tow," Mary and Anne took over as Drake drank from her bottle.

"HO," they yelled out as the music got louder to their stomps. They where all either dancing or drinking at this point, laughing as smiling as the Oki Mariner Crew watched in pure horror as they let loose on the job and proceeded to get drunk.

"Soon may the Wellerman come. To bring us sugar and tea and rum. One day, when the tonguing is done. We'll take our leave and go," Nemo sang this one as he drank from a thermos, thank god. But he was still handing out Rum to the Oki Marine Crew and his own workmates

"Da-da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da," they all snag out as the winds picked up.

"Boss this is very bad," one yelled to Selkie who watched their utter debauchery of their work. Was this a game?

"For forty days or even more. The line went slack then tight once more. All boats were lost, there were only four. But still that whale did go," Drake resumed her singing, grabbing ANOTHER bottle, dear lord how much had all of them drank already?

"HO," even some of Selkies men yelled it out raising their bottles, if only to get the Nemo Marines off their backs. One poor sap had the bottle shoved in his mouth and was slightly intoxicated by that point.

"Soon may the Wellerman come. To bring us sugar and tea and rum. One day, when the tonguing is done. We'll take our leave and go," Most of them sang by that point, the men who began their step dancing stumbling by their flushed cheeks.

"As far as I've heard, the fight's still on. The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone. The Wellerman makes his regular call. To encourage the captain, crew and all!" Drake sang through her dancing and drinking, how many bottles did they go through, Selkie thought as he looked at the empty ones scattered about.

"HO!"

"Soon may the Wellerman come. To bring us sugar and tea and rum. One day, when the tonguing is done. We'll take our leave and go. Soon may the Wellerman come. To bring us sugar and tea and rum. One day, when the tonguing is done. We'll take our leave and go," the all belted out the last lines together, dancing and drinking as if they weren't on a mission at all.

"This...is crazy,' Selkie coughed as Sirius nodded, helping the few unfortunate men who had rum poured down their throats in an attempt to 'have fun' and 'let loose'.

"Apologies," Odysseus murmured as he approached Selkie with a smile. "We may be heroes, but we are not accustomed to all work and no play." He shrugged like it was an everyday occurrence. "This is a very common occurrence."

Great...

"That's fine," Selkie sighed. "But we need to be working and cautious, not drunk and playing around," he motioned to the Chaldean crew who were belting out another shanty.

"Cruel and Cold like winds and the sea," Mary began as the others began to hum low.

"How does your director let you get away with this on the job! I would have half a mind to report this, but I know it wouldn't do a damn thing," Selkie was mad. 'This isn't right! Because this debauchery could end up hurting a lot of people."

"It's a pirate's nature," he shrugged. "Lord knows they could be fornicating right about now," he sighed. "But they've denied themselves to simply drink and dance," he shrugged with a smile. "I honestly would just take all that your getting right now. We are cautious, but like I said. We're not used to all work and not play."

"Pirates don't exist outside of movies-"

"I would keep your voice down," He murmured to Selkie with glowing eyes. "This is our nature. Even mine when the desire strikes," he offered up. "It's our nature, simple and base as that."

He walked past Selkie and accepted a bottle of rum from Nemo who was on his phone speaking to someone it seemed.

"Best accept it," one of the marines said as he took the un opened bottle of rum and opened it, handing it back with a smile.

The party seemed to go on for hours, the Chaldean drinking, laughing, singing and dancing as the Oki crew tried to go about their business. They now understood why people never wanted to work with the Marine crew of Chaldea a bit more than before.

The stories of them getting smashed right before fights where true it seemed.

"Captain," an Oki member called. "We have signals of another boat!"

Just then all the servants felt something off in the air, Castor looking toward where the boat was before his eyes widened.

"HOO! Hostility right off the stern," Castor yelled as leapt up from Jason's embrace. "It's not a regular ship!"

Their ship isn't regular, the Oki crew thought.

"That ain't who we're after," Drake slurred before her eyes turned sharp. "Oi…" She murmured, looking closer before leaning back in shock. "No way…"

"It's one of us," Pollux gasped before her sword materialized in her hand. "And it's hostile."

"It's a chaldean-"

"Step back," Nemo ordered, eyes sharp as he pulled out a Telescope. "Shit. There's three of them, they don't look like allies. And they don't look like they want to talk."

"Oi you shits get ready," Drake barked as she swallowed the last of the rum and grabbed her pistol. "We got a pest problem on the seas. Now this is nostalgic!"

"Ah," they yelled just as something shot toward them.

"FUCK," Jason screeched as it came toward him. Castor threw his discus to stop or slow down the enemy, which worked in a way before they jumped over it and landed on their ship.

The two of them struck a pose as their poison like eyes bore into the Riders.

"Fuck," Black Beard snapped as he realized the class of servant they had on their hands. "This is not good for us."

"Ciao, Ciao," the two young children called as they raised their hands not intertwined with one another in the air. "We are the Assassin's of the HC!"

They looked like they were with 7 or 9, depending on how you looked at it. The girl had pink hair and a small piece that was longer on her left, the boy was the same but with blue hair and the longer piece on the left. They had matching dull blue eyes and eerie smiles as they shifted in their alter children outfits.

"This is not good," Nemo swallowed. "Where's the third," he demanded as the Chaldeans held back the other Heroes. They were surprisingly sober now. "I know their staying back on the boat."

"Caster of Carthage is an old man that is better left behind," the girl huffed as the others jolted. "He's such a bore as well.."

"Caster...of Carthage," Bartholomew asked, making sure he heard right. "As in H-"

"Of course you all know who he is," the boy sighed. "I have no doubt that your master has studied everyone who could be like us," he purred, eyes glowing as they all stepped back. "That makes no difference to us, he is easy to figure out after all," the boy pouted. "But we have a mission and how lucky we are that it's all mostly Riders! After all we only need to kill a few of you! And we'll throw that poor master int despair!"

"Fuck," Drake aimed only to have Sirius push her last second as she fired. "WHAT THE FUCK WOMAN! THEY ARE DANGEROUS!" She snarled as Mick went to detain her. "GET OFF OF ME YOU-" she went off on a tangent as Sirius gasped, turning to the children.

'They are children forced against their will," she panted as the Oki Marine crew went about detaining the Chaldean Heroes. "Your safe don't worry," she turned to the relatively calm children with a smile before it faded at their faces.

"Ho, thanks for doing all our work," the girl giggled before she jumped on Sirius and stabbed her right on the back. "But we will leave no survivors," she gave a demented giggle as Sirius fell with a gasp.

"SHIT," Anne yelled before she got out of their Oki's Crew grip and rushed to her gun. "You little fuckers, I'll kill you!"

"Not likely," the boy yelled, rushing to the busty woman. In his hand he had a dagger of gleaming black, aimed straight for her back as she managed to get her hands on her rifle.

"ANNE," Mary yelled as she looked at her lover. "BEHIND YOU!"

The woman had no time to turn around and aim as the child was right behind her.

"Not on my watch," a new voice joined as the boy slammed into a shield with a rather...horrific face on it. He gasped before jumping back beside his sister who caught him in her embrace.

"I knew it," the girl gasped as she jumped back. "A rogue Servant! Just like they said!"

"WHAT," the Chaldeans gasped as the man straightened up.

"Wait...that Shield," Jason gasped as the Assassin duo stepped back. "Y...you can't be!"

"Not happening," the masked man yelled as chains appeared, capturing the two who tried to escape in the chaos. "Thanks caster," he turned to the man onto the rail to the second level, the Greeks gasping at him.

"I am Caster of the Underworld, my companion is the Rider of Argos," he smiled, his lovely white hair falling over his red eyes. "We ask to speak to your master, the Master of Chaldea."

"Fair enough," Drake coughed as she pushed Mick to the ground. "Mind ending those two?" She motioned to the Assassin's who struggled in their grip with snarls. "Don't move," she warned the Oki Marine crew, aiming her pistol at Selkie who had other weapons on him as well. "You should all be well aware the threats we face are not normal. So that girlie stopping me could have gotten us all killed."

"She's right," Rider nodded, his mask covered in blood before sighing. "Caster? Can you kill them?"

"Not likely...we've fallen into a trap I'm afraid. One concocted by the Alter Ego of Astrology," he sighed as the two giggled before vanishing. "This was all to draw us out."

"Fuck," Odysseus snarled as he watched them leave. "Damn it!"

"We have what we need, and we have your identities, Rider. Caster." That had to be the Alter Ego.

"And we have enough on you three. And our other friends will be appearing soon," Caster called just as the strange presence left.

"Ha...what an annoyance," the masked man sighed as he took it off, revealing soft pink locks, poisonous lime green eyes and a crazed smile. "Soo...any chance you can put in a good word for me to head to Greece where Medusa is?"

Dear god, this was getting complicated.


AT CHALDEA

"I...gave you a mission to stop a drug ring, instead we have rouge servants that are both our allies and enemies," Ritsuka asked as he looked to the Pirates. "Like during our stints in Singularities and Lostbelts?"

"Yes."

"And we have two new Heroic Spirits in Perseus and Orpheus?"

"Yes."

"They have three others in there little group that will be joining us soon. There is one other group that are not yet affiliated with us or All for One and we're just waiting for them to make a move?"

"That's what they said, so it might be true."

"I am too sober for this."

"We agree."

"Great," Ritsuka sighed as he leaned back, "and you say you know the two that attacked us?"

"Indeed," Orpheus nodded as Ritsuka flicked his eyes to Persues who smiled. "Hannibal Barca and The Borgia siblings, Lucriza and Ceasre."

"We heard of them during the Requiem incident...but to think that they would actually materialize," Ritsuka sighed as he placed his index fingers in the bridge of his nose. "And you say that you have how many more allies?"

"We have three more allies that are heading to England and Rome at the moment," he nodded. "As for the two other groups...well we don't know."

"Okay," Ritsuka nodded, sighing as he rubbed a hand over his eyes. "Okay."

"What of our enemies? We have three known servants, who else," Sherlock demanded.

"They have two more allies, they are all very powerful and very deranged," Orpheus advised. "They hold no respect for All for One, but they have their reasons for going against you."

"So that's why they are allying with All for One? Or they have their own agenda?"

"You honestly think they would follow someone like All for One," Perseus smirked as he cracked his neck. "And my position in Greece?"

"I see your point and what the fuck do you want with Medusa you freak," Ritsuka grunted as he looked to the smiling Rider who gave a toothy manic grin. "Your not very good at convincing me to let you go. In fact your convincing me to keep you in isolation."

"I just wanna see her in all her beauty!"

"You're crazy."

"He is," Orpheus nodded, looking to his companion with a disgusted look.

"Well, I have promised to go to the USJ event with Robin, Billy, Chiron, Nightingale and Asclepius to promote...whatever they think we're promoting," Ritsuka shook his head. "Then I'll have Chiron take over my class while I deal with the problem. It seems that this is getting more complicated by the day."

"What about I-Island and the Sports festival? They are expecting us at both events," Agravain pushed. "The press caught wind of what you did to those school kids and the curriculum, you're not in such good water at the moment."

"I know, I know," Ritsuka snapped, fingers interlaced as Perseus and Orpheus shifted. "You killed someone didn't you," he sighed, head falling back as his arms went limp.

"It was a man, attempting to shoot another," Perseus explained. "The man had his child in his arms, begging the other to not shoot...I could not stand by and allow that man to live after he had already shot the man's wife in the chest in full view of his daughter."

"I see," Ritsuka nodded. "Orpheus?"

"A man had beaten a woman in an alley in full view of her lover," he breathed. "I...I could not stand that as he pushed the man to the ground and knocked him out, continuing his brutal assault on the woman. I took the measures needed and ended scum on this earth."

"I don't blame you, but this is making things difficult for us," Ritsuka groaned. "UA is pushing for interns again?"

"The Japanese government is thinking about approving it to get them off our backs. If only for a little bit, they fear they might attack or try and get into Seraphix if we deny them any longer," Sherlock admitted with a shrug. "It won't be our fault if they are devoured by those two."

"It will be trouble for us if one of them escapes," Ritsuka yelped, jumping up in anger. "I am not proud but…"

"We must do whatever we can to ensure our survival. Mana here is sparse at best, even in hot spots like Britain, the Middle East and Japan," Sherlock whispered to his master. "Do not dwell on Seraphix, BB and those two have everything under control."

"And our staff," he hissed.

"They are on the road to being healed. Mashu and Goredolf have been moved from critical care along with the others. They are getting better," that didn't help assure Ritsuka though.

"Is it wise to go to the USJ though? Their involvement with us or their current involvement with us is drawing eyes to us. They think we take in crazed killers," Agravain protested. "We need to focus on damage control!"

"I can't pull out now,' Ritsuka shook his head, face solemn. "The trip is tomorrow. Not to mention the security breach we had today…"

"I have questions about that breach," Da Vinci interrupted as she looked up from her iPad. "What was taken?"

"Unfortunately I am not privy to that information because of my status of...well just being someone associated with Chaldea," he shrugged without much care as Da Vinci sighed. "But all I know is that someone with a very powerful quirk managed to come up with a plan to distract them."

"Of course...and I assume that is because of you teaching about Beasts of Humanity?" Chiron hummed thoughfully. "You didn't stray away from anything when it came to explaining about them."

"Hoo the earful I got from Vlad King and Eraserhead for that," he sighed like he was remembering something fond, which to be honest he most likely was. He liked to poke fun at his fellow employees who suffered through his habit of teaching the kids things to shake the foundations of their being.

Very recently had he turned to physical teaching in the way of the choking of Kanakawa and the beatings of the three first year hero students.

"I see, well I will do a preliminary scan and give everything to Chiron. Edmond will not be leaving your side for the entire time of the USJ correct?"

"Hmmm…" Ritsuka hummed as Da Vinci drew close. With a claw-like grip she wretched his to her's and gazed deep into his eyes.

"Correct?" Her face was absolutely demonic, a quick look to the side showed that her younger version also had a similar look.

"Right," he nodded, sweating nervously as the woman released his head with a huff. "You dangerous woman," he rolled his shoulders before flinching at her glare. "AHaha! Well you two will be staying here for the time being and I don't care what you do, you will not be going to greece any time soon and Medusa will not be coming anytime soon either," he pointed to Perseus who pouted before lowering his raised hand.

"That's acceptable. His half brothers and cousins should be able to keep him in line," Orpheus nodded.

"Great. Now we all have a busy day ahead of us. Dismissed."

"Before we leave, the Oki Mariner crew-"

"They are being dealt with," Ritsuka waved off Chiron who nodded, leaving along with the two new Greeks who whispered in hushed tones.

"Seraphix wishes to have you speak to them," Sherlock mentioned in passing as Ritsuka gave a stiff nod. He sat for a couple more minutes, contemplating whether he should put off the visit, but they were never ones to call him willy nilly. Steeling himself he left his chair, moving to the gleaming silver door that resided inside his office, his shadow shifting to reveal Angra, Goetia, Ashiya and Edmond awaiting him to leave.

"Have you any idea as to why they called?"

"I have some," Ritsuka admitted as Angra clung to his arm.

He was a clingy one, if a bit annoying but Ritsuka didn't hold that against him.

"Let's go so we can come back earlier," Edmond gruffed before opening the door to allow them in.

It wasn't too long before they heard an achingly familiar voice.

"Hello dearest master," Kiara cooed as she approached with her usual strut in her...vulgar outfit.

"Kiara," Ritsuka spoke curtly. "Why the call?"

Her smile vanished and it was soon replaced by someone dedicated to her master and his cause. "We have sensed the presence of someone not of Chaldea or of this plane near the holding cells for Sefar and Type Ort," she explained. "But their signature is too much like a servant for us to rule out anything but."

"I see...and you're certain of this?" He asked with a raised brow. "I do not want things to get complicated because of a hunch."

"Yes," she nodded. "Me and Kama have been keeping a closer eye on the spiritual balance of Seraphix and we sensed a change similar to an unwanted servant entering. Unfortunately they noticed we were tuned in and vanished just as quick," she admitted with an annoyed sighed.

"Must be one of the rouge servants," Ritsuka began. "It's not impossible that they are trying to get to Type Ort or Sefar. What of Archimedes?" He demanded, turning to Kirara who gave a smirk.

"What do you think?"

"Keep an eye on him and keep it discrete and tell him I want the report of how our mana excavation is going. We can't keep relying on Moon Cell, or that damned UN. The scramble for mana is killing us."

"Understood," Kiara nodded. "Master...what will happen if we still need to use that...way of scourging mana?"

"I would rather not speak of it right now," he waved off, not even bothering to look at her. The guilt must be eating him up. "I'm more worried about the staff and seraphix."

"We should just take what we need from the man and be done with it!" Ashiya hummed as he placed a finger on his chin. "He's not loyal to us and is simply not one to be loyal. Not when he has his own agenda!"

"I know," Ritsuka admitted. "I'm wary of him too, but you all know I am one to give people a chance when others don't."

"You don't seem too keen on doing that for those hero brats," Ashiya hummed as they moved to leave.

"They need to learn that before you can begin to give acceptance, you must first face denial," Ritsuka offered up before heading back to his office

"How beautiful," Ashiya cooed before he vanished along with the rest back to the shadows where they watched their master in silence and secret.
