New chapter! I have been really active lately lol

I hope you will like it.

Beta'd by Everpeach

I leaned back from a slash directed towards my torso, throwing my weight into an overhand right that connected with Beru's ant-like head, the ant monster moving only slightly backward making me frown.

I was training with a non-lethal version (or as close as a Cazador-Deathclaw hybrid could get to non-lethal, I just took out its venom) of her, no weapons at all, just my bare fists.

Why was I doing something this stupid? Well, multiple reasons really.

I had some hand-to-hand combat training, every project in the Sigurd Institution did, and it was better to not let my skills get rusty.

Secondly, I was venting some frustrations and assessing some metrics about my skill level.

I had been feeling restless for a couple of weeks, my obsession drawback paired with my natural inclination to not stay put for a long time, I understand that my classes about the political climate are necessary especially if I want a role that lets me work around the world.

The last thing I or Azazel need is a political incident caused by my ignorance, I now know which areas are controlled by which factions for the most part, and how the Grigori stands with those factions, therefore determining how I should act.

My knowledge isn't perfect yet, but If I have to move to an area I don't have a great grasp on I will obviously study it more in-depth.

Even if I understand all this, it doesn't mean I particularly enjoy it I in fact dislike it quite a lot, particularly after I learned which was the second fandom spliced into this world.

I kicked Beru on the stomach, but it didn't do much at all, I nevertheless managed to weave into a better position.

Fucking Dragon Maid, the anime about the hot dragon girls. Honestly a pretty fun and chill slice of life mixed with fantasy, it would all be fine and dandy if it wasn't for the fact that one of the dragons in the series will try to kill me.

Probably Tohru's father, the dude is Satan class in power, old raisin looking fuck.

That is honestly dangerous, but I think manageable, the problem came with the other two dragon factions, the neutrals and order faction, the latter I didn't know much about besides Elma being a member of, apparently the leader was close to Satan class but not quite.

No, the problem is the 'leader' of the Neutral dragon faction, Quetzalcoatl, or Lucoa as she was known in the anime, a former Dragon Goddess now just dragon after some shit went down with some really spicy wine.

The problem with having someone like her wanting to kill me should be obvious, and the source of my stress clear, ultimate-class beings are manageable, yeah they are capable of destroying entire cities true, but killing one isn't that unfeasible, a Satan class being is a little more annoying but one can plan around them.

Quetzalcoatl, the former goddess of life, light, fertility, and civilization has a cozy spot in the top strongest beings in the world, where exactly is argued but she is dropped around the top 15 or thereabout strongest being.

My body was thrown through the air as Beru tackled me, It was only my considerable experience (fuck you Baraqiel) that helped me right myself touching the ground with considerable grace.

Fuck that hurt, but it is a necessary pain, I will get sent out to the big cold, and cruel outside world, I need to be faster, stronger, better to survive for long.

I don't like the training I'm not a shonen protagonist, I actually quite dislike it, being sweaty sore, and tired is something I have grown to withstand but hate all the same.

I think I got a little too confident when I realized that Rosario + Vampire was one of the fandoms, ultimate class beings as the top threat as well as them being weak to light magic, they are honestly manageable.

I ducked out of the way of another slash, giving Beru a flurry of punches that had little impact, ugh.

My main weakness right now is my body, Beru has high class being stats, while I am lagging behind at middle class, which is great for a human (of course related to the fact that I was made in a lab) but not good enough in reality.

Only my speed is high-class, I am capable of fighting Beru only because I am smarter than her.

Now how do I improve my body? Vasco Strada somehow got to his insane level without cheating, but I can recognize when I am beaten, that old man is too crazy for me.

Besides I have a time limit of at most 3 to 4 years, a lot of time really, but shit can go sideways before that, I just need to get the most out of those years.

The first option would be using my monsters to improve my body, a symbiote-like monster maybe? should push me to the top of High-class at least.

There is of course touki, the quintessential physical fighting technique, it boosts all of the user's stats, strength, speed, endurance, a must get for sure.

The two combined should put me in a decent spot, probably enough to deal with the Rosario + Vampire threat and Kokabiel.

But definitely not enough to deal with Super Devils or the top 20 strongest beings in general.

I could steal another sacred gear now that I think about it, can someone even have two gears at the same time? I think something like that was the case in the light novels, never read them but a friend had told me about it.

Obviously I would try to get another Longinus, Issei is a tempting target, not sure if I want to deal with Ddraig though, I have no way to defend my mind from a dude grafted to my soul.

I REALLY don't want my meta-knowledge getting out even the rumor that I know what I know could get me killed or worse.

That is an idea for the future though, it would take a lot of planning to get Azazel's sacred gear extractor and a Longinus wielder together, probably best if I let that plan as a backup for now.

Beru stopped with just a mental command her claw inches away from my face, how annoying.

Still, even if I have a top 20 or stronger being planning to kill me life continues on, I refuse to hide like some weasel, I know I should probably be more fearful of the future, and I am sure that in my previous life I would have been.

Maybe it has something to do with all the things the Sigurd Institution did with my genes, we were created to wield a big fuck off demonic sword of destruction, most of the projects were quite violent and had little self-preservation.

Freed was a psychopathic fool, and Siegfried the institution's golden boy ended up with little regard for his own life, cutting his lifespan significantly in the series by using five demonic swords at the same time.

Whatever reason I can't really complain, too much fear would have been bad obviously.

I WILL enjoy this world, no matter the circumstances or who I have to fight at the end of the day, but to do that I have to become more powerful, either through my monsters, enchanting, or the old fashion way.

I took a deep breath, pushing the most mana I had to my gear yet, six shadowy figures formed slowly over the next30 seconds, I will need to work on that.

The six Berus looked at me waiting for orders, well if surpassing one's human limits was that easy everyone would have done it.

I started dodging frantically as the Berus descended on me, my best traits are my speed and endurance, better to lean on those for now.

How hard could this be?

…

I pressed some ice to my ribs as I ate a simple ham and mayo sandwich, six Berus are way too much for me just yet, should have started with three and steadily gone up from there.

As I lazily ate (I am a shit cook, I need someone who is capable here) a message appeared on my phone, the name of the contact of a was a feather and old man emoji.

What the fuck does Azazel want now? today is my free day.

"Come over to my office at 1:00 PM, finally will put you to work" I jumped out of my seat once I finished reading.

"Let's go!" Finally, something interesting to do, what time is it?...

12:45! Oh, that bitch! Now I have to rush there.

I am sure I can get dressed up and reach HQ in 15 minutes.

(Grigori HQ 1:20 PM)

"I have arrived!" I shout kicking the door (it was actually a little hard the door was huge) to Azazel's office open, I got distracted on the way here, a dude was selling some great street food, those burgers were dirt cheap, and tasted as only street food does…I regret nothing.

"Hi, Felix!" Cheerfully said Sahaqiel with a wave and a smile.

"Sup Sahaqiel, where is the boss?" I waved back acting as if I hadn't noticed her disheveled appearance, hair a mess, and dress shirt unbuttoned, what Azazel does with his secretary is none of my business.

"You damn brat! What are you doing here early!?" Came Azazel's obnoxious voice, he looked immaculate, I suppose millennia doing it helps with stuff like this.

"Huh!? What the hell do you mean by early you feathered goat!?"

"I told you to come here at 1:30 not even working yet and you are still messing up" He shook his head while looking down.

"The text said 1:00 PM, not a minute later or earlier" I spit out, Sahaqiel was looking at us with wide eyes whispering something to herself, that I could barely pick up.

I am not another Vali dammit! I am a calm and composed individual.

"Huh, must have got it wrong still your fault somehow" continued Azazel with a dismissive handwave.

"So I rushed all the way over here for no reason!" I say ignoring the fact that I stopped for some food, it is the principle of the matter "And you were here having the time of your life!?" I looked at Sahaqiel then at Azazel repeatedly making what I meant clear.

Sahaqiel blushed while Azazel shrugged it off.

"Kid, don't hate me cause I'm beautiful. Maybe if you got rid of that yee-yee ass haircut you would get girls like me" why do I feel like that is a reference to something?

Also, I would complain but my hair has gotten too long recently, haven't cut it since getting here. I should get something nice done to it.

"Whatever you say you codger, with the age gap you have with all your partners you are lucky there doesn't exist a supernatural equivalent to the FBI" Probably should have answered the text to confirm but I was a little too excited to finally do some work.

Speaking of work.

"So what did you end up assigning me to? if it is an office job I will kill somebody eventually" I half-joke with a faux smile, I refuse to become a paper pusher.

"Why would I have a Longinus wielder as an office worker? I'm not stupid kid, you will have some action on the field" He says fixing whatever imperfections he can find on his suit.

I was sure I had a smirk on my face, of course I did. I want to experience all this world has to offer after all.

"Let's go stay close" I did with a small frown, the teleportation spell had some downright insane math to it I managed to pull one cast off but I took a full 3 minutes to cast it, needless to say, it wasn't combat-ready but the plan to shorten that time considerably was almost ready.

In a flash of light, that only slightly disoriented me, we were in a different room, it looked like the arena I first fought Vali in.

Speaking of which there was somebody who had seen that fight right in front of me.

"Kokabiel how have you been," Said Azazel with a friendly tone walking to the violent Cadre and patting him on the shoulder.

"I have been forced to move my entire schedule for some kid Azazel, how do you think I have been?" Kokabiel spit out shrugging Azazel's hand off his shoulder.

"Well maybe then you should have practiced your poker skills then" easily teased Azazel making Kokabiel twitch.

Wait what?

"Shut up! I still can't believe your luck these last few decades, it has gotten ridiculous" why do I feel like something really important to my future was decided by a game of cards?

"Even Armaros managed to win a hand and he is absolute trash at keeping a good poker face" ranted Kokabiel, Armaros that was another Cadre right? The one in charge of anti-magic research, I heard he was quite the character even for Cadre standards.

"*Tsk*Whatever let's go meet the rest of the mooks" did he just call me a mook? the audacity on this crazy old fuck.

"Huh? what do you mean by the rest?" I questioned with a raised eyebrow

"You will see" Nonchalantly said Azazel waving me off.

I didn't believe that I could get more out of him so I simply walked with him to the room next to the arena.

"What's up with the clown fiesta?" I asked as soon as I saw who was in the other room, Raynare and Moka were shouting at each other, Kalawarner was laughing while recording it and Mittelt was playing on her 3ds in a corner.

There was also a fifth figure that was sleeping with some headphones on, her feet on top of one of the desks available.

Kokabiel cleared his throat, the result being immediate, Rayanare paled and jumped down onto her seat, Kalawarner hid her phone with one swift movement, Mittelt being not so subtle or swift.

The fifth girl opened one of her eyes for a second before yawning and stretching.

"Felix" I hear almost growled in my direction, the source was clear, guess Moka wasn't happy about my elegant escape yesterday, I just sent her a mocking wave.

"Hello there!"

"Enough talking I have more important things to do" frowned Kokabiel making the fallen in the room straightened up.

"You to Morioka, don't make come there and force you" the girl took her headphones looking much more awake once Kokabiel talked to her directly.

So she probably works for him in some capacity.

"We got you all together to inform you of your new assignments" Calmly started Azazel.

"Morioka, from now on you are relieved of your station as a single hunter" The girl nodded with some distaste on her face.

"All of you here have a new assignment, it was about time I put you three to work on the field anyway" quickly spoke Kokabiel, the man clearly couldn't care less about what was happening.

"From today forward all six of you will compose The Bounty Hunting Division's Team Felix, a subdivision of Squad 2, the manager will be Felix, the assistant manager will be Keiko Morioka" Everyone was stunned for a second including myself as I digested the information.

"Congratulations," said Kokabiel in a tone as dry as a desert.

That seemed to do the trick with Raynare and the girl apparently called Keiko shouting in indignation.

"You can't be serious Kokabiel! I am an experienced hunter, why the hell should work under some human runt!" Of course she is one of those.

"What's got the tan tomboy so upset?" I question getting a laugh from Azazel and a small chuckle from Kokabiel.

The girl stood at around 5'5", medium-length black hair and eyes brown like her skin, she was wearing a short-cropped sports jacket that had 'INU' written around it the only thing under it being a sports bra showing her toned stomach.

Those are some nice abs, I would appreciate them more but the woman who had them was looking at me with a furious gaze.

"Watch your tone Morioka, the decision is final, if you have any complaints direct them to your manager, you were put on this position exactly because of your experience" Kokabiel casually, with what I am sure was centuries of experience deflected the woman's anger solely on me.

"Get fucked" I told her with a smug grin, she looked as if she was about to blow up.

"Glad to see the team is already working but I could be doing literally anything else right now, so bye" Kokabiel didn't even listen to Rayanare's complaints before teleporting away, a privilege only the Cadre had inside HQ.

I looked behind me to get some support from Azazel, only to find empty air, of course.

I turned my gaze to my new team, two of them were already angry at me, Moka and Mittelt looked conflicted, surprisingly it was Kalawarner that seemed to not care at all sending me an easy smile.

"Well better get this done with early, let's go to the arena" I order, I can already tell this team will take a lot of work.

Hell one could even say I didn't need a team! I am literally a one-man army, but I suppose Azazel had other reasons to arrange this, maybe to teach me to lead people or teach me responsibility.

Maybe he did just to fuck with me, seems like something he would find amusing.

…

"Okay so who among you has a problem with me being the leader, raise your hand" Instantly Rayanare and Keiko raised theirs with Moka raising her's after some thought.

"Huh, only 3 out of 5 could be worse" I looked at Kalawarner and Mittelt the latter shrugged uncaringly while the former threw a thumbs up.

"I am not much of a fighter or leader" said Mittelt with no shame, Kalawarner nodding in agreement.

"So that leaves you three, would you like to vent why you feel I am unfitting to lead?" I am no genius when it comes to social interactions, I can just guess what people want or desire nothing more.

Communication is a key part of any relationship, the nature of which doesn't really matter.

"I have been working my ass off as a hunter for three entire years! The moment I left Youkai Academy I joined the Grigori, I have had to deal with racists, perverts, and more for a long while before being allowed to go on solo missions" Gritted out Keiko, making me raise an eyebrow.

Why the hell would she join the Grigori and not one of the youkai factions?

"Then suddenly I am called by the big boss, telling me I have a new assignment, I am thinking 'shit now I will have to lead a squad of wet behind the ears idiots' only it isn't that I am actually the subordinate" she continue ranting, pacing back and forth.

"Okayyyy, how about you Raynare, where did all the love go darling" I joke as Raynare smirks.

"Obviously the strongest should be the leader, and I am clearly that" she says with a completely serious tone.

She really isn't joking.

I couldn't contain my laughter, laughing from my belly at her proud announcement, my eyes tearing slightly.

"Good one Ray, how about you" I ignore Rayanre's outrage as I point to Moka "What the hell are you doing here weren't you Baraqiel's secretary?"

"I wanted to widen my horizons and Azazel said he had an idea, I like the concept of what we are going to do, and honestly I just want to beat you up for avoiding me for so long" Ah! the consequences of my actions how I abore you.

"Well this probably could be fixed with a long thought out chat in which I convince you to trust me with my honesty or something like that" I dryly say getting a deadpan look from Mittelt.

"As it is I am not the kind of man that can do that kind of shit, I am not some dumb anime protagonist that can inspire people without doing jack shit, so the answer is simple" I continue while stretching

"I will fight all of you for the chance to take the position of leader!" I say with a giant grin on my face, stunning the three girls and getting Kalawarner giggling.

It really shouldn't have come as a surprise why else would I take them to the arena.

This doesn't come from the goodness of my heart, even if I could respect Keiko for clawing her way through the rankings.

No, I am doing this to test monsters and release some pent-up energy, I have two projects to test today I can already feel myself getting excited.

"Get to the arena" I finally commanded, walking up to the huge fighting ground, unlike other arenas I have fought/practiced in, this one made no attempt to replicate any real terrain, it was a flat ground without any obstacles or cover points.

It was kind of gladiatorial in its aesthetic which I could appreciate even if the design didn't benefit my fighting style.

"I will go first, I deserve the first duel," Said Keiko with authority, already getting into a discussion with Raynare.

"I think there is something you are misunderstanding here" I cut off while my shadows move, shaping into two copies of the growingly familiar face of Beru.

The three girls' eyes widened as they saw my incredible monsters, Keiko recovering the fastest showing her experience.

"There won't be any 'turns' or 'duels' here, you want my place as the leader of this team? Then all three of you can fight me at the same time!" Mhm, that seems to have pissed them off, who would have thought.

"You can't be serious!" shouted out Raynare her eyebrow twitching, she sure hates getting treated like a mook, well tough shit.

"I am 100% serious, I am the wielder of Annihilation Maker, I am a one-man army, one vs one, one vs two, one vs three, hell one vs twenty means absolutely nothing when that one man is me!" I took off my expensive snow-white jacket, giving it to Mittelt with a wink.

"Take care of it dear" she blushed and frowned, the video of Vali screaming about me asking for Mittelt's feather was already going around the Grigori like wildfire, the gossip nest that it was.

Some were even saying that there was some kind of love triangle between Vali, Mittelt, and I, which I found hilarious, Mittelt less so.

"Try not to trip and break your neck," said Mittelt with what I would believe was an honest smile if I didn't actually know her.

"Good luck Manager Felix" Kalawarner said with a chuckle, ugh I can't believe the name of the position is actually manager, will I have to deal with dissatisfied customers now?

"Okay so the rules of the match" I start bouncing on the tip of my toes to warm up as much as I could "No lethal attacks obviously, that means no using venom from my part so count yourselves lucky" the last part was mainly directed at Moka whose nose wrinkled in remembrance.

I started casting a spell, I frowned in distaste as I did the math in real-time, what a fucking pain in the ass, luckily this spell was weirdly simple for what it did.

From the light-blue magical crest I pulled and item, it was covered in light for a second before it was visible to all to see.

My latest finished project, I spent all day after I got the feather working on it, my first enchanted weapon 'Milagrosa'

It was the enchanted form of a Winchester rifle, the lever-action weapon often called a cowboy repeater was elevated from its humble human origins by yours truly.

The wood part of the gun known as the stock was pure white, did I learn a color-changing spell in less than an hour just to make my gun look special? abso-fucking-lutely.

Another thing to note was the emblem near the bottom of the stock it was the silhouette of a woman, her only distinguishing feature being their long blue hair which was floating with the breeze.

Truly I stunned myself with my performance.

"Okay, the last rule" I say with a tone of finality resting Milagrosa on my shoulder.

"There are no more rules" As soon as I finished the sentence both Berus moved with a mental command.

"Ugh!" Moka was sent flying as she barely blocked a punch from the Beru sent after her, the monster pursuing her.

"Huh nice try assho-" Keiko's taunt as she managed to barely duck over the slash of the Beru sent after her was interrupted by me shooting a light bullet to her face, on the stun setting of course.

Beru took the chance given to her, kicking the girl with one of her powerful legs right in the stomach, sending her flying.

Unlike my revolvers which solved the overheating problem by having multiple cylinders, Milagrosa had an enchantment only on her loading port, the heat was dissipated by pulling the lever down, releasing a steam-like substance.

I tilted my head to the side, a red lance of light zooming past where my skull would have been.

"Hey, that actually wasn't half-bad Ray!" for a low-level mook that is, but still faster than I expected from her.

I am more focused on her BDSM 'armor' that spell she used to change clothes so fast is interesting, supernatural women sure have a different interpretation of modesty.

Not that I am complaining.

"The position as leader is mine Felix!" she shouted before rushing at her top speed which was…

Slow as fuck, that actually makes sense.

"Get the fuck outta here!" I jokingly say as I spartan kick her on the face, her own speed meaning that the damage was multiplied.

This was the same woman who was getting her ass beat by a beginning of the series Issei, that is a black mark if I have ever seen one.

Her long-range arsenal ain't that bad, but her physical stats are abysmal, poor even for a low class fallen.

She is going to take a lot of work, her ability to take a blow needs some work too, as I apparently knocked her out, blood pouring from her nose looking at the ceiling with a glazed expression.

Meh, I am sure she will be fine.

"Enough of this bullshit!" the shout called my attention, Keiko wasn't looking all that great with some claw marks and bruises around her body mainly on her arms.

In a frankly surprising amount of time she transformed, it couldn't have taken more than three seconds her body grew in size now almost matching Beru more notably she grew furry and dog-like.

Of course she was a werewolf, that much was pretty obvious, what WAS surprising was the fact that she could transform at all, it was like 1:30 no idea what the moon cycle was like but still.

When I realized I would have to deal with Rosario + Vampire I didn't hesitate to study the creatures that inhabited it, both for inspiration and in case I would need to fight them sometime.

Werewolves are weaker during the day, everyone knows that, but they aren't powerless. Some are capable of partial transformations that boost their abilities, and even untransformed they are quite powerful.

A full transformation in the middle of the day though, now that must have taken a lot of practice to pull off, that or some great training, probably both.

"Now you will ge-" Her words were once again interrupted by a light bullet to the face this time at the lethal setting, werewolves are tough though so I wasn't too worried.

"Stop that!" she shouted getting a light-bullet to the torso once again.

"Talking isn't a free action, the fuck do you think I am? some generic villain?" As I talked I started sniping at different parts of her body, a shot to each of her knees and one to the liver all reaching with perfect accuracy.

I glanced at Moka to make sure she wouldn't interrupt, but she seemed to be too busy with her own Beru, they seem mostly evenly matched, Beru had better physical stats but Moka was smarter. My monsters as smart as they may seem and act at times aren't martial geniuses or anything like that, they rely on feral violence more than anything else.

It was exactly that gap of skill and me being distracted looking at Moka, that earned me a full power skull bash to the face from Keiko, the werewolf had managed to trick Beru into overextending taking the split-second chance to try to take me out.

I tasted some blood in my mouth as the impact made my teeth cut my cheek and lips, I was sent tumbling onto the ground but I managed to flip myself over with my hands.

Bouncing on the balls of my feet to weave under an attack, unloading three shots in quick succession all over her body.

Keiko's hard-earned opportunity for victory was cut short as quickly as it came, Beru catching up to her grabbing her by the back of the head, my monsters pushed her to the ground hard enough to make it crack.

"It seems I may have underestimated your abilities, sorry about that, werewolves are known for their speed after all" I spit out some of the blood in my mouth next to her, squatting down and pressing the barrel of my gun right in front of her left eye.

"It was a good attempt and all, but well…

Baraqiel hits much harder" That seemed to kill the fight inside her, her tensed muscles relaxing slightly as the futility of her situation finally registered, maybe if it had been the full moon she would be able to pull something off but currently?

Beru's clawed hand gripping her skull must feel quite oppressive indeed, not to speak of the shining light of my gun's barrel.

Well, this leaves only one, watching Moka I see she continues to struggle with her own Beru, her clothes are torn in multiple places and her hair looks ruffled.

It makes sense, she is a middle-class vampire and Beru is capable of handling (if maybe not perfectly yet) high-class threats.

I think the Moka from the start of canon was actually high-class material, but this is her younger version even if only by a year. One year can make a world of difference especially in the case of a developing teen.

Well better to put an end to this already.

Now kneeling, I aimed down the sights of Milagrosa, holding my breath as I pressed the wooden stock to my right shoulder, changing the weapon to stun mode again.

"Bang" I whisper as I pulled the trigger.

"Okay so now that we got that little episode how about we get down to team dynamics," I said with a big smile to the five girls, three of which were still nursing their wounds.

It felt great to win a fight after getting my ass kicked like a football by Baraqiel so MANY times. Bear bastard, I will get my revenge eventually.

I had dismissed my two Berus satisfied by their performance, they aren't perfect sure, but they are a great base from which to improve.

"My face hurts" whined Raynare holding a hand to her nose.

"Shush now, no whining you brought this onto yourselves, all of you" I point to the three girls who grimaced, losing a three vs one had to sting, even if that one could create more at the end of the day they all lost to a single human, my monsters are an extension of me after all.

"Rule number one, no killing children" I claim calmly getting their attention, none of them against it.

"What do you define as a child?" Raynare sought some clarification, it was kind of messed up that she needed to ask that but whatever.

"Use your head, obviously anything younger than a teen is a red zone, we are going to be killing a lot, it is part of our job, sometimes magical beasts but a lot of the time sentient people. I understand that and accept it, but I refuse to kill some little kid, call me sentimental" There is always the chance that little kid will grow up to hate me for killing the person they are related to, which is a pain in the ass.

But well I suppose that if morals were easy then everyone would be nice to each other.

"Okay second rule, no stealing from each other, this should come as a no-brainer, I don't care how greedy you are if I catch you stealing from one of your teammates I'm breaking your hands" I say casually making Raynare pale slightly.

"This takes us to rule three, any and all in fighting between members has to go through me, I am not talking about simple shit like x is taking too long in the shower or x is annoying. I am referring to actual conflict if you are going to start throwing hands at each other talk to me first I will try to mediate the situation and if necessary arrange for the parties to fight in a controlled environment. " I would like to think this won't be needed but who knows, better to be prepared for it.

"Rule four is… actually I don't have a rule four" I receive a considerable amount of sweatdrops and a chuckle from Mittelt "I am sure I will get more eventually this whole thing was kind of dropped on me" fucking Azazel.

"Just respect my authority and things should be fine" I can already tell they will take a lot of work to turn into a working team, something more than a group of people fighting together due to obligation.

But if I can mold the finest of monsters and craft the most elegant of weapons, then I'm sure can shape this group into something worthwhile.

"I should probably clean the air about something though" I start getting their sole attention "I am a greedy man, I like material objects a little too much, I want an easy life surrounded by luxury" I admit shamelessly, not like that is anything special, greed is humanity's trademark sin in my opinion.

"So I will probably take you on the bounties that get me the most money!" I laughed as most of them gaped in astonishment at my open greed, I would take precautions of course, but a man has to work for that paper.

"Glad to see the team is working well" I reflexively shot in the direction of the voice that was suddenly behind me.

Azazel simply put his palm up easily tanking the light bullet.

"I see the weapon you were working on came out well, the cost is still coming out of your next paycheck though" Tch, I was honestly surprised that Azazel could get me a Winchester rifle in a few hours after asking, but apparently the Grigori keeps multiple mundane weapons in stock for experimentation.

"You were watching the whole time weren't you, that's creepy man you should get your own life I may start feeling unsafe around you" I wrapped my arms around my torso putting a faux terrified expression on my face.

"Shut up brat, there are cameras in all Grigori arenas, just making sure you didn't get your ass beat up too bad" easily answered Azazel, he probably had been called much worse over his long life.

"Though seeing the results, I must say I am slightly impressed, I suppose Baraqiel managed to teach you something while beating you up, I still have the best moments on video" Annoying old man.

"Team Felix will be getting their first chance for a bounty hunting mission tomorrow, as soon as they are registered and all that bureaucratic crap" Azazel waved his hand dismissively I can't imagine dealing with all that internal management for centuries on end I would have given up at the ten years mark.

"Oh by the way" continued Azazel getting my attention. "It's a tradition in the Grigori for new teammates to live together for a while" Huh?

Oh, you bastard you didn't!

"I already have the movers in action so don't worry, it seems you will finally have some company Felix!" Oh hell no! I ain't getting no freeloaders in my hom-

wait a minute!

I looked at Azazel, Azazel looked at me, then he looked at the girls and back to me, I looked at the girls and back to him.

Azazel you perverted genius, I threw him a sneaky thumbs up which he reciprocated.

What kind of man would I be if I rejected five beautiful women living with me after all.

They would still have to clean after themselves though, hopefully, one of them can cook I will end up depressed if I keep eating instant food.

"Raynare, Kalawarne, Mittelt, I already made the arrangements with your landlord, nasty piece of business that guy" the three girls looked quite grateful which was surprising considering he told them to move out of their homes.

Moka just shrugged, she had been living in the Grigori assigned guest rooms, they weren't bad but she didn't have any attachment to it.

This just left Keiko, the werewolf noticed the stares she was getting.

"Sure, better than the dump I call my apartment, I don't know how to cook though" I cheered in celebration.

"Let's go! Team Felix to celebrate our formation, let's get drunk!" I raised my arm in excitement with only Raynare copying me, making it a little awkward.

(Change to Azazel's POV)

"I am a minor, actually so are you" Moka pointed out "Who cares drinks are on Azazel!" Azazel's eyebrow twitched Felix was turning out to cost a lot, but his performance today was worth it and honestly, paying for a few drinks was nothing when you took his fortune into account.

He was the richest man in the Grigori, he made enough in a minute from passive income alone to pay for ten nights out.

"Booze, booze, booze" Felix started chanting, with Raynare following suit, Keiko ended up joining them for the hell of it.

At least the team was starting to get along, better than he could say about Vali's original team, pretty sure one of his former teammates still has PTSD.

Maybe he should try getting Vali on a team, he honestly considered it a lost cause until now, better to leave Vali as a free agent, but Vali's lack of any friendly interaction with almost everyone in the Grigori worried him slightly.

Perhaps doing something similar to what he just did with Felix, nothing motivated men like women in Azazel's opinion, the problem was that he had very few fallen he would trust with Vali.

He would take a watch and see approach if some trustworthy individuals joined up or made themselves clear Azazel would try to create a Team Vali.

Considering the magazines (who reads those anymore?) he found in Vali's room, he already had a body type to search for at least, who would have thought his surrogate son would be an ass man, Azazel couldn't be prouder.

That was the chapter, we get to see Beru and Felix's new gun in action!

I have seen a lot of writers have the mc struggle against Raynare, sometimes it makes sense, most times it doesn't, we are talking about the mook who was getting beat up Issei at the beginning of the series with like a twice critical.

The werewolf is an OC, does familiar with Rosario + Vampire might be familiar with the surname, Keiko is actually Gin's older sister. Her appearance was based around Tiona from Danmachi so toned, tan, tomboy werewolf.
