Sorry that I have taken a while. Working is a good thing but at this point, my body is too tired for anything major. With ATSS, I'm stuck at a fighting and erotic scene so I'm going for this one.
For those who would be interested, I have made a YouTube channel under the name of Kerlongsj Orlejov. I'm intending to make a few footage of my gaming adventures and a lot of other stuff. I also started out on Paetron. You can find me back on the same name. I'm working it out right now and I wanted three major updates before I would say this. I'm also looking for a mic and stuff so for now, I'm a starting YouTuber as well.
But enough of the BS that will grow later on. My body is giving out and I'm trying to game. One more shield until I'm done. Should have waited for a week but for now, I'm adequate. I should really play GRW a lot more given the new missions right now.
Second addition. My mouse is beginning to work on its own mind so writing was the only thing that I could do. And I got a YouTube channel and that is in full production. Look me up and come say hi.
Third addition. Oslight has drawn a few pics of my OC's and this summer, I had a list of characters and Jonas was one of them. And there are some more pics you might like.
Jonas had been sitting around in the school after his words with Sona. He hadn't revealed too much and he wasn't going to tell anything more but so far, things weren't looking too good. While he knew that there wasn't much he could do to escape their watch, he was not going to let Raynare and her friends so far she cared about those die.
He had been hoping to see Raynare again and he wasn't going to let her die. But so far, he didn't want to be getting too deep. But once he kicked open that door, he'd back in the grid. And there was no going out. Shit.
Jonas really wanted his sister around but so far, he wasn't able to contact her. He had been texting, calling and emailing her but there was nothing but silence. He began to think and had the slightest inkling that she wasn't teaching at a high school.
He had to think about that stuff later on. Now, he had to find out to get Raynare out of the mess those idiots pulled her in.
The things he noticed was that he wasn't the only one who followed Issei around the place. If you were doing this while you had another party involved, you shouldn't only pay attention to your target but to your surroundings.
Nothing was easier of stalking a stalker. When you were focused on your prey, it was easy for an enemy to get closer. Worked for humans as well for animals. Kiba and Koneko, he had sometimes seen them around Rias.
He also paid attention. Despite telling Sona off, she had her own Council around him. Not that he really minded it but he had bigger issues to worry about. He would sometimes look their way to make sure that he knew he was watching them.
Jonas could escape them easily but so far, at school, there was nothing they could really do to him. He just had to wait through the day. Luckily for him, it was now Friday, so he hoped that the weekend could give him some respite. He turned to the teacher who walked in.
He began to write his notes down. He was not going to let his own life screw up his school.
Afterwards, he went home, noting that he was being left alone. Not that he really minded. Plugging in his earplugs.
Cry to the sky
Over the Dead Sea
Stones will keep thy call
Massada will never fall
Desert, he recently discovered them online. Despite being an African Child, he had eight years of getting most of the popular culture so far that went. One trait he inherited from his dad. His father loathed pop culture. Television and shows and series were hard to follow in Africa, especially when you have a war going on.
Music was one way to keep yourself busy and the mercs liked to have songs that were still hard to get rid of. You can say a lot about metal but even for the smaller bands, they do have a tendency to stick around.
He walked home and he was sure that he had no one following him. One thing was this. He had his gut telling him that danger was coming and that he was going to be really involved in it.
As soon he closed the door, he walked up to his room. Opening the drawer where he kept his shirts, he opened a box that he had hidden there. Besides him and his sis, there was no one else. His sister was first disapproving but when you kept a katana in your room, strapped above your bed, you weren't to talk when your little brother hid a handgun in his room.
A 1911 pistol. Besides his cloth and dirty ragged clothes, one of the few memories from Africa. It was actually a M45 model as the really older models like the M1911 and M1911A1, despite still seeing use in wars, Jonas did like that modern materials and a bit more compensation would make it more suited for the new tens as some would call it.
It had an onyx color with the numbers 13 painted on both sides of the slide and a compensator for the muzzle. Jonas took that off and replaced it with a silences that was underneath in the box. He slipped it on. Next to the box, he took out his holster and some spar ammo.
It was foreign, nearly weird and unholy to carry out an action that seemed so normal ten years ago. But old habits die hard. Strapping his holster to his belt on his right side, he made sure it was secure. Putting the spare mags, three, all fully loaded, making for twenty eight rounds the ones in the gun counted as well, not much, at least not by modern standards. But they had to do.
He then holstered the gun. When he was sure, it was secure, he pulled it back out and then holstered it. Tricks that were learnt a lifetime ago were now learned again. They wouldn't die. Not if he didn't want to die. He had hoped that he could contact Ray but sighing that she didn't have a phone, he would just rely and hope that she wasn't going to do anything else.
After a quick dinner, he made his way to his bedroom. It was a surprise that this back to life as fighter was taking its toll on him. He wasn't really happy with that. And his dreams weren't much better. Things from Africa played back. Things that went bad, went even a lot worse. Things that went good, went bad. It was more of a graphic show and the thing the young soldier condemned the most, was the fact that he couldn't do one damned thing. He couldn't move an inch while his body moved through the dreams.
Later on, his nightmares mixed in stuff from the present. Things that he saw Raynare, Sona and for some reason, Issei as well. It was stuff like Raynare killing Issei or Sona being attacked by some bigger guy. He wasn't sure but when he woke up, Jonas wasn't the confident third year, resident tough guy. He was a scared kid who had a desperate need for some sort of adult watching over him. Taking his phone which he had placed on the nightstand, it was 2:47 in the morning. There were no new messages. It looked it was Saturday.
Deciding it was too early to stay awake, he fell back asleep. This time, he couldn't dream. Or he didn't remember it.
He sighed when he woke up and he was fully rested. Hoping that his sister could tell him how to handle this, he hoped to catch her.
'This number is no longer available.' The automatic reply came from the number. Goddammit. How stupid could he have been? His sister was teaching in the USA, his ass. She was most likely on the run and tried to hide away for something. Wasn't that the reason she moved here? To avoid that sort of thing. And the two were more than enough to protect each other so why should she run?
Laying his head on his pillow, he would stay at home. He couldn't go after Raynare now. When his sister could contact him, he would talk about it.
He didn't want Raynare or anyone else to die here but letting Issei die, that wasn't on his list either. Not because he had any sort of affinity for the boy but because it wasn't in his nature to let people die when he could help it. So for now, he would just lay down and hope that if Raynare needed help, she would come to him. In the weekend, he would work on his homework, go out a bit and went back home. He also made a visit to a certain place and went back with a loaded backpack. It was heavy but he decided to go home in the Sunday evening.
Suddenly, he found a perch in the air and smelled something. Not good. Not good at all. He made his way to a park and saw something he hoped that he wouldn't see. Issei Hyoudou, lying down on the ground with blood around him. A light spear, that was clear even from this distance. Shit, shit, shit. This wasn't supposed to go down like that. He was supposed to find a way to get Raynare out.
But then a red light came out. Hiding behind a tree, he wouldn't run. He'd just hide and hope he could away. From he saw, he saw Rias Gremory coming out of the circle. She would reincarnate the boy. That solved him dying. But it gave him another big problem. That was now that the Fallen Angels got Issei in the peerage of Rias Gremory. And they were now going after them if he knew a little bit.
He would pay a visit to Raynare very soon but for now, he wasn't going to the Church that would only cause him to be in the bigger spotlights. Jonas wanted to swear up a storm but he knew that would give him away. In the end, he would have to do that. But on his own terms and on his own pace.
He would lay out the groundwork for this. But that would be for later. Jonas had to find out why Raynare decided to kill Issei despite Jonas' request not to do it. He knew the woman and while prideful and somewhat arrogant, she would keep her word. Especially with him around. So he wondered why she decided to act out against his orders. But that was for later.
It looked like things were going to heat up and not to the extent that he would like it. Instead of a bonfire, the heat of napalm would burn them alive. He made his way to his home and checked his phone again. No messages from his sister. Great. This was just getting worse and worse by the minute.
On Monday, some would say that this was the worst day but Jonas didn't. Because the weekend was over, Jonas didn't mind it. It was for him a reason to go out to school. Looking around, Jonas found Issei and there was something different on him. That much was clear. Right, Rias reincarnated him into a Devil.
For Issei, the morning was weird. He had namely the freakiest dream in the history of mankind. He had made a girlfriend, cute girl, Amano Yuuma. He had a date with her yesterday and the two had a good hangout. He just liked doing this with his girl. Afterwards, she had transformed into a Fallen Angel and she had apologized about the attack. He had seen her in her nude glory for two seconds but was killed by her anyway. He had laid there dying, complementing about his life and while he died, he saw red hair with bat wings. He woke up and he could feel a change in his body. That much was clear. He also had an idea that there were eyes on him the entire time. He didn't know how but he could feel that.
There was no trace of Yuuma so far he gathered. Her phone number was gone and the picture as well. He pondered about it for the hours that he spent alone. Was it all a dream? It felt too real to be a dream. That much was clear. But still, the dreams were in his head.
During the day, Issei was thinking about it, not even responding to the talks of Motohama and Matsuda of peeping on the girls. He had excused himself while the girls in his class were surprised that he wasn't going along with them. He just didn't know why but the sun stung to him. Moving him on the hallway, he couldn't shake that feeling off him. There was something going on but what, that was his question.
Jonas had been sitting around the second years and he was just trying to pass by. He found that keeping an eye on Issei was simple as the perv didn't notice Jonas looking at him. Issei was now a Devil and he had heard of Rias and Sona. They were part of Devils who had a correct way of treating their servants right. That much was clear of what his sister told him. Good for them. Jonas had a tendency to kill those who treated others below them. That much was clear.
He made his way back to his own classroom, later on, tossing the can of soft drinks in the litter on the way. How was he going to get Raynare out of that place? He had hoped of seeing her again for ten years. Ten years she had been on his mind. If he was a normal human, you could say she was his crush. That would be baffling towards others but for Jonas, it wouldn't be that farfetched. When he met her, the sexuality of a girl wasn't on his mind despite Raynare being one hell of a knockout. Puppy love wasn't a thing you could call it either. Jonas was too much of a raffle to have ever been a pup.
But that could wait. If he couldn't find a way to get Raynare out of the mess alive, he wouldn't have to worry about that. She would be dead. And letting Raynare die was the last thing on his mind. So for now, he just had to wait and see how things played out.
Sona and Tsubaki left him to be during the day. Sona had given Jonas the benefit of the doubt and the idea that her servants wouldn't have been a match for him. He'd either drop the ball on them or get away for that.
On the end day, Jonas was now following Issei who had made his way home. He had heard somethings from Issei and the perv moved up his list in respect. He had been right on the things in here.
"It wasn't a dream. It was way too real to have been a dream." He had been confused and Jonas was right on it. Those Supernatural Races were way better on senses. Jonas just guessed that Issei wasn't paying attention as they were now in the park. From the other direction, a familiar presence made itself known.
Donasheek was there and Jonas guessed that he was looking for Issei right now. "Unfortunate for you that I found you here." Issei's body was trembling as he was terrified of the man. Now, this was a moment to act and Issei ran away from Donasheek. That man would have followed him as he noticed another presence. Jonas had moved in, his cloth normally on his mouth, covering his face. It was more a matter of display instead of hiding his identity if Donasheek could have been bothered to remember to him. Jonas didn't care about it and stood in the way of the fleeing Issei. His eyes were fixated on the man. He had attacked Jonas and that was an unforgivable offense.
"So you want to stand in my way?" It looked like Donasheek had forgotten about him, which was good. But that was something worse. "Leave, Fallen Angel. That Devil isn't a Stray but he is a member of a Peerage here. Do you want to inflict their fury? That wouldn't be wise."
Donasheek eyes were furious with his kill being denied. "Well, I'd guess that you will be my kill then." Launching one spear, Jonas wondered why he stepped in the way. Guilty conscience of letting Issei die, perhaps? Moving his body around the spear, he landed on his feet and moved in closer, avoiding the spears that were getting thrown his way.
When you have learned to dodge bullets from fully automatic weapons, spears being thrown at you was easy. When he was close enough, he got one arm of Donasheek upwards and one fist was in the gut, getting all air out the Fallen Angel. One punch was enough to get him on his knees. While Jonas normally held back on the power of those punches, he wasn't fighting a human and more importantly, he didn't care if he, by any sort of accident, killed Donasheek.
Donasheek, on the other hand, was a little bit winded about the attack. He had a hard time believing that a mere human could strike him down like that. But that wasn't the biggest issue. Stray Devils were out for the taking. They could be killed by Fallen Angels or Angels as well. So that was his intention on Issei but now this guy stood in his way.
That was one thing but this guy had taken him down with such ease that Donasheek was surprised that he didn't finish the job. "Maybe you didn't get the memo but that kid belongs to the Gremory Peerage. I suppose that she can teach you that lesson. Or take your pride and leave. Either is good for me."
Jonas passed him and he turned back, making sure that he wouldn't turn his back to Donasheek. Never turn your back to a breathing aggressor. He should have killed Donasheek but that would only make more questions.
Meanwhile, Issei was fleeing and turned back on the place where Donasheek was. He wasn't following him which confused him but he wasn't complaining right now. Not paying attention to where he was going, he ended with his nose buried in the softest things he ever felt. "Oh, my. Looks we caught a real winner this time." A giggling teasing voice said. Looking up, he saw the violet eyes of one Akeno Himejima. The second most popular girl in school and the one who had the biggest set of tits a guy would ever lay hands on.
If Issei wasn't so busy with surviving, he might have enjoyed the fact that his face was pressed in her tits but he reeled back. A bit too far that he fell on the stones. He looked up and saw two other girls. Koneko Toujou, the first year, and school mascot who glared at him and Rias Gremory, the most popular girl at the school.
She was a bit surprised when she felt the force field around this park as her latest servant had run away from the threat was haunting him. But she was here and now and the threat of the Fallen Angel was nowhere to be seen.
"Gremory-senpai?" Issei's survival instincts were too kicked high in motion for him to bother on anything else. He looked at her beautiful face and he wasn't sure why but her hair. It caught his attention and he looked at it in awe. Rias leaned down to him as she could see the face of Issei being all frightful.
"Relax, Issei. You're fine but I think that I'll need to explain a few things to you. It's most important that you…" She wanted to continue but saw that he collapsed and she caught him.
"Looks like his body isn't fully used to being a Devil." Rias nodded as she took him up in her arms. Issei's body had given out and the stress on him was too much a toll to bear on him.
"Akeno, Koneko. You two look around for the Fallen Angel. Make sure that he gets the message of leaving my servants alone. Report tomorrow in the clubroom."
"Understood, Buchou," Koneko said in a tone that most would guess was disinterest.
"I understand, Rias. Good luck with Issei." Akeno couldn't help but tease Rias with her latest find of Issei. She was also hoping that she could tease the guy tomorrow. She had heard of Issei's reputation and he looked like a delicious little thing to tease.
The two looked at their [King] leaving. "Well, it looks Rias finally made the right decision of catching up to Issei. That boy is sharper than I gave him credit for." Akeno said when she looked at the two.
"He's a pervert." Koneko brisk tone made it very clear that she was not impressed with the latest addition to their peerage but that was not her say in it. She was happy enough that Rias picked her up all those years ago. All of them were.
The two girls looked around the park but only found some blood on the floor, recently spit out by a Fallen Angel.
"Someone must have interfered with our hostile friend. Any ideas, Koneko-chan?" The girl sighed as she didn't find any sort of magic. The skills that she did allow herself to have from her heritage were small but they were used to their fullest extent. "No, I have nothing. Although, there's no magic around. So what could it be? An exorcist or someone from Kaichou's peerage."
Akeno wasn't so sure about that. "Neither of them seem like very possible answers. Koneko-chan, who else do you think that might have done this?"
Koneko turned to her senior and she was a bit afraid to admit it. She, like the others at the school, was keeping an eye on Jonas and while he was strong, he simply couldn't be on the level that he could take down a Fallen Angel by himself.
She was torn between either admitting it and that would mean that everyone would see a Human as a bigger threat. But who else could it have been?
In any case, they would report it to Rias and she had to give it to Sona tomorrow. For Rias, she had used magic to bring Issei back home. She was somewhat thinking on sleeping next to him in case he got wounded but there seemed to be no reason in the immediate term. He was however exhausted and his body was pushed well beyond its usual limits.
So she decided to take the easy route and the one that included most fun for her and fell asleep next to him. Her body clung tightly to his and she soon joined her latest servant in the realm of dreams.
The next morning, Issei woke up to the best thing he ever had. Rias Gremory in her nude glory. While taking in her body and her delicious large breast and shapely body, he was somewhat hearing the lines of him being her servant and she was a Devil.
Breakfast couldn't have been more awkward for him as his parents and Rias talking. It was even worse at the school where gossip traveled far and fast. The only one who wasn't surprised was Jonas who didn't even bat an eye on the show. He had bigger issues regarding the situation. Taking things the quiet way was no longer an option. But getting in now wasn't good either. He had to be in a position of power and so far, he had no real spot to do so.
It wasn't for himself but he wanted to save Raynare and her friends. Donasheek was further down his list. Jonas wouldn't go out his way to save him but if it didn't take too much effort, he would save him. If it was too much, well, he did try to kill Jonas two times. He wouldn't stand for the third time.
The entire day was the school in some sort of PTSD. They had crashed and they were trying to reboot. Jonas, on the other hand, found it easy so he could think on a situation of getting his old friend out the mess.
When school ended, Jonas saw that Kiba and Issei were walking away from the classroom to the old school building. If that wasn't going to spark some sort of perverted attention, Jonas didn't know what would. He walked home with his earplugs in and his mind just decided to take a break. He wouldn't visit the Church and he just waited.
Every bit that survived Africa shouted that things were only going to kick off really soon. So he would just bide his time. Issei, on the other hand, was getting thrown in a world that he had no idea of existing. After hearing the whole story of him being in a room of Devils while he was converted into one was one thing but the whole business that came with it was an even bigger surprise.
"One question I have. Why do you guys reincarnate humans? Not that I'm complaining but I'm just curious about the whole scenario of why." Rias sighed. She wasn't surprised by that.
"Issei, do you remember Yuuma Amano?" His eyes flung open on that name. He touched his guts where he swore he could feel her stab. His eyes turned back to Rias who sighed. "She is real. She is a Fallen Angel who was sent out there to kill you."
"So how did you reincarnate me?" He just wanted more questions and Rias was the only one who could provide him with those.
"You took one of our contracts from my Familiar. Your energy seeped into it and I reincarnated you into one of my servants. Like everyone else here in this room. We are all Devils." The wings were enough proof for him.
"There's something else you should know. Humans got something special, called [Sacred Gears]." Issei began to think back on the date. Yuuma or Raynare almost seemed apologetical on inflicting his death. She told something similar along the lines of that.
"Yuuma talked about it as well. What are those things?" Rias nodded and continued to explain that those [Sacred Gears] were gifts from the system that God build to protect humanity. During the centuries, those [Gears] became very wanted for the Magical Races and that was the reason why Issei was seen as a threat. After that talk, Issei tried to unlock his [Sacred Gear] which was nothing more than a band on his wrist.
Rias would be frowning if she didn't see that the thing was just a [Twice Critical], one of the more let's say easily found [Sacred Gears]. She had also heard that those things could evolve and knowing that Issei had taken what he had, she had no doubt he would get his powers very soon. But that was for later.
After the talk, he was sent out to take care of distributing fliers. He left soon afterward and moved around the town. His life had been turned upside down in less than three days but he felt it was some better change.
He noticed the differences with his body being faster and more able to move around. The night also wasn't as taxing om him as he was human. He had an idea that he could get used to this. He had enjoyed being around those girls. Koneko was scary and now, he could only think that he had pressed his face in Akeno's wondrous cleavage. He had smiled and moved around the place.
He passed a house that wouldn't have drawn his attention. In the house, nothing would note that Issei had passed by the place. The resident wasn't paying attention to it either. In the house, Jonas had pulled out an MP5 submachine with an integral suppressor. The handy thing was this gun had the ability to be really silent. It wasn't that difficult to piece a gun together if you knew what you were doing.
He had enough ammo taken with him as well. 300 rounds spent over 10 magazines but he knew that this gun could eat its ammo really fast. Spray and pray wasn't his usual tactic either. The aim, shoot and make sure that you don't run dry before things have really kicked off.
There were other guns as well but for now, this would have to do. An AK would have been more up his alley but given how easily this gun was concealed in his bag, he could move it around.
This wasn't Africa where every living thing was out there to kill you. This was Japan, a country that hadn't seen a major war since 1945.
The days flew by as Jonas kept an eye out on Issei. He had become the key to save his old friend despite that said old friend being the one who killed Issei.
Issei had begun to get used to this life as a servant. He enjoyed being around the clubroom and the attention he got from Rias was an extra plus. His contracts were somewhat weird but they fell in line. He had enjoyed doing those. But during the days, Jonas had begun to get a bit worried as he had no idea. He hated this.
Being cooped up without making a decent plant of saving Raynare. He could only do that when things would work out for him but that wasn't the case now. So he was a bit on edge and when he was moving around, he was approached by Miko Mitsuya and her pose. He just looked at her and he wasn't going to move an inch from his seat in his classroom.
"What do you want?" Jonas asked while his glare became a bit harsher. Miko didn't budge. "Kerevechko, I'm here because there's something you should know. I have heard that you and Kaichou aren't at good terms anymore." Jonas only raised an eyebrow on that rumor.
True, Sona left him alone ever since that he told her off but that was still civilized and all that stuff so is not on good terms. Where things really that fickle? But because honesty would the only answer that this girl would swallow, he just decided to answer in the same voice.
"Really? I didn't know about that. But in any case, it's not your concern. What's between me and Sona is our business. I don't get what you have to do with that." Miko smiled at him in a way like he had become her next prey.
Kicking his desk asides, his collar was well in her grasp as she pulled him to his feet. Let it be said that Jonas wasn't expecting that, although retaliating would have been a whole lot worse. It would have been really worse.
At least for her. Jonas, on the other hand, tried to keep himself in check. He had learned to keep his emotions under control to make sure that he would never act out. A soldier needs to learn that. Not letting your emotions get in the way. But he had been a civ for years and that was now harder. Especially with Raynare mixed up in this.
"You're wrong. Without Kaichou watching over you, you're nothing more than just a delinquent which we, the Kendo and Discipline Squad, can deal with however we like." Did he hear that right? Just cause Sona left him alone, they could do with him whatever they wanted.
Jonas had captured her hand and pried it off him. She looked back at him but his jaw was dead set on making her see how wrong she really was.
"I don't think things would go that way. But you got nothing to get from the school. So how about this? You wanna fight. Fine. After school. The kendo dojo. You and I. I win. You leave me be. You win. I'd write myself out."
"Fine. I'll see you after school. Don't run." Jonas wanted to give her a little smile but decided to continue like this. "Don't worry. I'm not going to run. You need to know when to run." 'And this is an occasion that I am not going to run away. It's going to be the perfect show to get off my back once and for all.'
The whole day the school was in an uproar. Turned out that Jonas had a bigger target painted on his back than he usually expected. Which wasn't that surprising given how much of a heavy weight he was. While Sona and Rias kept the school morals and the whole thing running, Jonas prevented delinquents and other, let's say, unsavory characters from popping at the school.
What didn't help was Jonas own appearance. If you didn't know him, he would look like a delinquent and even if you did know him, there was no denying that he was looking like one scary guy. So that was one thing. There weren't many people who tried getting close to him and that suited Jonas just fine. But that kept problems away. But now, that was a different case.
The school had never any dirt on him so expelling was out of the question. But now with this problem, Miko had gone this route. It hadn't taken long before the day was over and Jonas made his way to the Kendo club. He wasn't the least surprised that the entire school was there. Casting a glance to Sona, he wondered why she didn't stop.
In some way, she thought she could use this to get Jonas back under her thumb. But that would not happen. Even if he lost, which was unlikely, he would never grovel. That was just the thing he would not do.
Miko had dressed up in her outfit and Jonas was wondering what sort of face she would make when she saw who she would really fight. This time, it would end with him defeating her. No, this was a lot more serious.
"So you did not run." Jonas spat on the ground to show just how pissed, how angry and how tired he was from certain people.
"You seriously don't know who you're fucking with, do you?" Miko smiled at him, underneath the armor.
"I am 'fucking' like you say with a guy who has no idea that he is in for the biggest beatdown in the history of this school." Jonas raised an eyebrow, trying to ignore the cheering and noise this place made. This was going to be something harsh and they would be a little bit horrified but hey, that was their problem. Not his. And he would be damned if he let her go away.
With a sigh, that was more annoyance than every other emotion, Jonas sighed. "Fine. Let's just get this over with."
What he did see was that Miko was dressed in her own school uniform and he had no weapons at all. He only got a wooden bokken like she had one. Jonas sighed and took it up.
Deciding that his school uniform would be too much in his way, he took out his top and the school could see the scars he had been gathering. That caused a shock in the school.
Jonas stood in front of his menace and he glared at the woman that made his life so difficult. But he wasn't afraid.
Of course, he had seen her fight and knew of her powers. She was strong but compared to him, it was a world of difference. After all, it wasn't the strongest one who won but the one who had the most tricks up his sleeve.
Miko glare had died down. Besides the scars of the entirety of his body, he was well toned and had some decent muscles gathered. But she wasn't afraid of him. This was her time to shine. She could do this and she would defeat this delinquent. They turned to the referee who raised her hand.
"This match is between Miko Mitsuya and Jonas Kerevechko. This fight ends if one of you gives up or is defeated. For you, Kerevechko, if you lose, you drop out of school. And Miko will leave Jonas alone. So this is the match. Are you two ready?"
Miko smiled viciously, although that wasn't really seen behind her mask and Jonas nodded. "Hajime." As soon the word left the referee's mouth, Miko dashed towards Jonas, her sword in two hands and she had landed at Jonas. She raised her sword above her head as she intended not to drag it out.
What she didn't expect was that Jonas blocked her sword with a bored look on his eyes as he had seen this before. What added insult to the injury was the fact he blocked her with just one arm. She struggled against him and it looked like he wasn't even trying. She jumped back light-footed as she looked at Jonas who stood back.
As if he was daring her to try again. His right arm didn't leave his side as she began again. Her sword talent was often talked about as the biggest prodigy of the century and yet, she had found that Jonas didn't take her seriously. At all.
While she had faced strong opponents before, they had all taken her seriously and had fought her with seriousness and skill that she was deemed worthy of. Jonas, on the other hand, didn't. That wasn't to say he wasn't half-assing it.
He just didn't take her too seriously. He used a small level of skill as he blocked her sword attacks. Her attacks who were unrelenting came at the man but he just leaned back as he more often than not he just avoided the attack.
It was like he was playing with her. Well, if he liked to play games, she could do the same.
She placed her footing and made a swipe. That was avoided but she spun back and from the other side, her sword came out and Jonas couldn't foresee that so his eyes shot open.
Not being able to get away, he threw the bokken in his right hand and with a pivotal block, he stopped her attack. Before she could even think about it, Jonas had pushed her away with a left hook. It landed on her armor but it was clear that the blow was felt. Jonas, on the other hand, didn't care about the foul looks he got.
He was the guy who fought shirtless so rules didn't really matter for him. Jonas decided to up the game. There was a part of him that was disappointed in him as normally he would end the fight soon enough without too much of a hassle. For him to think about giving her a shot, that was stupid.
And stupidness kills you.
Miko could just look up to see Jonas taking the swords in both hands as he began his assault. It was her time to block. The difference with Jonas own attacks with hers was that he weren't meant to wear out your opponent until you find an opening.
Jonas' attacks were rough and powerful. They weren't meant to wear out, they were meant to harm her. To kill her.
Using both hands, he gave an upper swipe at her. Miko could block the attack but that wasn't the trick. She could feel that the attack had so much force that she had never felt. She had practiced kendo before but this wasn't kendo or even kenjutsu. Whatever Jonas learned, he had learned something different.
Releasing one hand, he made a circle with his right hand, lifting the sword up as the bokkens ended up in the air. Still held by the combatants, Jonas' left hand reached out to the sleeve of Miko. He grabbed it and pulled her over his back with both bokkens in their hands.
Miko ended up at her back as Jonas had lifted her like a feather weight and she ended up the mats as she felt her body coming down. The shock and pain of that attack hurt and Jonas stood over, cowering as he glared at her.
"Get up. I'd normally have done a lot more but I am not done yet." He walked over to his spot and waited until she got back up. Miko scrambled up as she took her sword back.
"Coward." She spat out to him and Jonas' eyes crossed when he heard that. "Fuck you," Jonas said as he looked at her in disgust. The blatant disrespect he had for the dojo had been raised tenfold.
She had no time to see the attack. She had only time to leap back as the sword cut the air but even from that, she could feel the power behind that. Before she could retaliate, she had felt his fist connecting with her helmet. Blood but not from Jonas' fist, had spread around her. She staggered back as she could see her mask crumbling away. Wood and leather were falling for her eyes as she had to time to register Jonas next attack. He didn't care about the rules of this fight as he moved faster to her.
She blocked his attack which was impressive if you consider the fact that her mask was torn away and her face felt pain and bloody. She looked up and could see his eyes. While rage was something she'd expect, his eyes. His dark brown eyes had become an abyss. She could stare in those eyes as she felt how cold they were.
They were just looking in a way to break her and this time, she felt a knee colliding with her stomach. Breath escaped her lips as she felt winded but it wasn't over. Far from it.
It was more like the start. From that point, they could see how Jonas fought. Unlike Miko's attacks, his attacks were rough like before but they tuned down on power and relied on speed. It was a mix from that as she felt her body being assaulted by swipes but they weren't just that.
Kicks, punches and even feeling the butt of his bokken were part of the assault. The school looked at that.
This wasn't a fight. This was a beatdown and Jonas wasn't stopping anytime soon. Miko could feel her body becoming numb which was welcome given that Jonas wasn't stopping. She had no time to react and despite rigorous training from a young age, she could feel her attacks crumbling away.
She couldn't believe this. She felt pain and more than that, she felt how far he was in front of her.
He wasn't a genius or prodigy. He was just better than her and that was shown here. Jonas decided he played around for long enough as he drove the sword at her body and it was like he pierced through her body.
Miko felt her body giving out and fell on the floor. Jonas looked at the shocked silent school. He threw his bokken away and he deiced to show that the bullshit he had endured had gone far enough. Glaring at Miko, he walked up to her and lifted her by the head and forced him to look in his eyes.
"If you ever bother me, I am not ending it like this. I. Will. Kill. You." Jonas said to her and the chilling part was for all of them that Jonas wasn't speaking with anger or hate. It was a mere statement of fact that he would kill her if she ever did as much as glancing at him. There were parts that told her that Jonas would have actually done that.
It was quiet enough to let him walk away from that as no one had the guts now to stand in his way. He walked up and saw two idiots who were shocked to see that he had actually won. Jonas didn't bother much until he saw Issei who walked up to them and opened his hand. When he saw the two idiots handed him a big wad of cash, Jonas had a good idea what happened.
"You made bets?" He had a slight idea that those two guys would have pissed themselves. Given that Jonas had still the blood on his upper body with the scars now pretty visible and the pure fact he had kicked Miko's ass and the promise he'd be the cause of her demise. Issei, on the other hand, looked at him and didn't even flinch.
"Yes." He looked the older guy in the eyes. "I know that you and I aren't exactly close, senpai. But you have been kicking my ass for one year. One thing is for sure. You, Jonas Kerevechko-senpai, are the strongest guy in this school." He looked over to Issei and saw the wad of cash.
"How much did you bet on me?" He asked, a bit of curiosity in the voice and a lot more civil. Issei waved it over. "10 000 yen. Got a real nice revenue." Jonas shrugged on that remark. Money didn't concern him as he had enough to live from.
"Spent that wisely." Jonas sat at he took his shirt on. The older guy went to his pocket and took two dog tags out of his. The chill of the cold metal on his neck caused him to give a slight shiver. When he was done, he took his scarf and put it on. Issei looked at him and their looks met. For some reason or another, Jonas had the idea that Issei knew what transpired last night. But for him, that didn't really matter right now. Issei had no proof or any idea.
Although there was a small part that made him happy that Issei betted on him. Jonas walked away from the scene and he looked over to Sona who had a shocked expression on her face.
She had seen fights before and she had learned one thing of watching her watchdog. Whatever Jonas did to Miko, it was nothing that showed of his true strength. He had skill, strength and strategy, all cramped in him.
Jonas was never one of the guys that she would put on her Peerage but after seeing this, there was a part of her that wondered how she would fare in a fight against him. She wouldn't bait him now.
Jonas, on the other hand, didn't care much about the events of the beating that he gave Miko as he walked home. Because he wasn't in for cooking, he dropped by at a fast-food pizza. After having that disgusting fatting meal, he walked home.
He went to bed. The good thing that Miko gave him was some weariness. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
But in the school after that the fight ended, the Devils met. Or better said, the [Kings] and [Queens] met.
"I think that what Jonas did, it was impressive, to say the least," Rias said as she glanced to her rival. Sona, on the other hand, was not that surprised.
"Your [Pawn] seemed to have made a lot of money on the back of Jonas." Sona shot back at her and a bit of embarrassment got into Rias. When she asked Issei why he had done that, Issei replied because he knew that Jonas wouldn't lose. But that wasn't the point. Her adorable [Pawn] adapted to the life as Devil quite well.
"That can wait for later on. Issei made a good bet. But Sona, do you really worry about Jonas? We talked about this."
"Rias. Normally, I wouldn't be so concerned about him but I and Jonas have reached the unspoken agreement on which we both benefited from. When I asked him what he was doing or what was going on in his life, there wasn't much that he wouldn't say. But he refused to talk about what happened." Sona wasn't too comfortable around that truth that Jonas might know the Fallen.
"In any case, the death and reincarnation of Issei made clear that the Fallen Angels are at our territory. For how long will we wait until we can be sure that we can defeat them?" Rias leaned back and looked to the roof.
"You know we can't act on that fact. Even if they are at our territory, without a good reason, we would be the ones who provoked the Fallen. You really want to risk that?" Sona said and she and Rias could agree that doing so would mean they'd get in over their heads.
"Right. So you suggest we wait?" Rias nodded and was sure things would work out.
But things proved to be wrong the next morning. Issei had woken up the morning thinking about the things that were going on and for some reason, he couldn't shake off the idea that they were missing something.
When he walked to school, he was too caught up in that as he bumped into a young girl. He could see that she was carrying a big suit case and was blond. She was super cute and he could see that she was indeed hot. He could see her panties but he ignored that.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked her as he helped her up. "Yes, thank you. Finally, someone who can understand me." She said with a smile that could melt icecaps.
"Thank the Lord." Issei could feel pain in his head as he felt something painful.
"My name is Issei. Issei Hyoudou and you are?" He asked her.
"My name is Asia. Asia Argento. Happy to meet you, Issei." For some reason, Issei didn't mind the name.
"I'm lost as I was looking for the church." Issei knew of the place but he wondered what someone would want there as the place had been empty for years. "Don't worry, I'll let you see the place." He said and the two walked around. It was more than not small talk as they heard a boy crying who had a scarped knee. Issei was surprised to see green light coming out of it.
'She healed the boy with that power? Must be a [Sacred Gear]. At least more useful than mine.' He thought as the boy smiled at her and he walked off.
"You're not surprised?" Asia asked and Issei shook his head. "That's a pretty nifty gift you got there," he said to her and she smiled.
"Yes, I consider it a blessing and a gift." They walked off the church and Issei looked at it.
Uneasiness in more ways than one set in as he looked the door but Asia was off. "Thank you, Issei. I hope to see you again."
"I hope so too." The young Devil said as he walked to the school. It looked to be a pretty big uproar as he could see the cops on the place. 'What are they doing here? The school hasn't had problems for a long time.'
He walked up to Kiba who was as surprised as him but they were sure this wasn't good. They weren't happy as Kiba nodded to Miko who had been a pretty beat-up. Issei wouldn't say he was sorry for her. He could see an older man next to the cops and Issei guessed that man was her father. There were two cops.
One was the sort of woman Issei had seen as a dominatrix in his explorations but he could tell she was just sadistic. She had glasses on and long black hair. There was something about her that made Issei and other guys, Kiba included, uneasy.
What added more fuel to the fire was that Sona was arguing with Miko and they were happy that they weren't on the receiving end of the argument.
What Issei also saw was that the other police officer was a bit older than her and a lot more skeptic about being called here so early. Things were quiet in Kuoh. Hell, he liked that way. He was out of problems and he knew why there were no major crimes going on.
At some point, Miko pointed towards a certain point. And that was Jonas who stood before her. "Jonas Kerevechko. You're under arrest for the battery of Miko Mitsuya." The man said and Jonas wanted to fight back but the woman was faster than him.
The slap wasn't hard but it stunned him enough that he was flung back. Jonas wanted to fight back but the rational part of his mind told him not to. He looked over to Miko who smiled at him viciously.
"Hey, she is the one who wanted that fight. If she knew thing one about a fight, she'd thought twice."
"My daughter was assaulted by you and I think that you have caused enough." Jonas glared him and he wanted to rip that guy apart.
"Your daughter wouldn't have gotten hurt if she learned that you don't pick fights with those who're a lot better than you," Jonas shouted back at her but he felt a hand on his shoulder as he looked to the male officer.
"Boy, I'm going to tell you that you best keep your head down." Jonas looked at him and sighed. "Fine." He said but he felt handcuffs on his back. That cunt had used the advantage of handcuffing him and pushed him.
With his hands, Jonas fell down, head first on the street. He wanted to badly to kill someone. And in a way that would make all of those bitches shit their pants when he would just glance at them.
The male officer looked at his colleague and he wasn't happy. Helping the young man up, he glared at the bitch.
"If you act out of line again, I'm going to make sure you'll never hit the street again." Jonas looked at him gratefully as he walked to the car. He looked at Miko who still had the superior smirk.
His glare became stronger and he stopped. "YA vernus', I ub'yu tebya." Miko didn't get that but the Devils did. He would come back and if they knew Jonas, he'd carry out his threat.
Jonas was loaded in the car and Sona looked at Miko. The father said goodbye and Miko turned to the Student Council President. "Looks you should have kept a tighter leash on your dog. They'll make him someone's bitch." Sona looked at her and she was baffled by how far from the world this woman was.
"Mitsuya. You challenged Jonas to a fight. The entire school can say so. And even so, I don't think he'll be in prison for long."
"That goddamn Yank should have kept his mouth shut. What was that even?" Miko said as she looked over to them.
"He said that he'll come back and that he will kill you," Issei said and he was sure that Jonas would do so. He wasn't sure why he and Jonas never seemed eye to eye but this was a stretch too far for him. Jonas, on the other hand, sat in the cab of the police as the younger one kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to say anything but him being locked up wasn't going to be a help to anyone. Raynare included.
He sat down there and he waited until they ended up at the police station. Kuoh was a small place and they didn't need a big police station. After all, there wasn't much that went on this place. Jonas waited until the door opened.
He felt somewhat lucky it wasn't the cunt mistress but the male that opened the door. Helping him out in a civil way, the door was opened. The female officer wanted to throw the piece of shitstain in a cell but the man had other ideas. Taking Jonas through the place, he looked up to the chief detective. A younger man who wore a long raincoat like most of those detectives did but normally, they would be ten years older.
The guy dropped there and the man looked up from the reports. "Jonas-kun, what are you doing here?" Jonas was just smiling at the man.
"Hey there, Igarashi. Been a while." The detective looked at him and he found it surprising to see Jonas on the place.
"It has been a while, indeed. Jonas-kun. What are you doing here?" Jonas just raised an eyebrow and he leaned back. "Didn't you get a report? Supposedly, I've assaulted someone. Which I can't really deny."
Igarashi leaned back in his chair. "You… Assaulted someone?" Jonas sighed on that. "Can I tell you when I can use my hands?" The man nodded and he walked over the boy. Unlocking the cuffs, Jonas massaged his wrist. They weren't uncomfortable per se but they were a bit annoying. He had been in situations that were a lot more uncomfortable. A lot more uncomfortable.
When Jonas saw that Igarashi sat in the chair, the female officer looked at the act in disgust. She was about to call when she saw her partner. "I'm going to tell you this one time. The reason that you haven't been sold as a sex slave is sitting in that chair. This place used to be a hellhole. And we have someone to clean up the mess. We have to thank Jonas for that. If you rat him out, don't fear him. You will have to look over your shoulder." He said and the woman looked at them.
"I don't believe you." She said and she looked at him. "I don't think you have to believe me. But he can kill you and when he does, he ain't gonna sit time for that."
Jonas sat next to Igarashi and he did his story. "Someone challenged you for a fight?" Jonas nodded and Igarashi sighed.
"I wonder if that woman is stupid. Who the hell bullies you?" Jonas shrugged as he sat comfortably. "That's about it. She challenged me and I well beat her."
"Any lasting injuries or heavy damage?"
Jonas didn't take offense to that question as he had heard it before. "Nope. Besides her ego but that's her problem." Igarashi sighed.
"The problem is, Jonas-kun, that her father is a big shot but given the circumstances and the things you pulled for us, I don't think we need to lock you up but you'll have to spend this day and night here. So do you mind?" Jonas shook his head.
"Don't bother calling neechan, she isn't around." He said when Igarashi moved to the phone and he sighed.
"She left again?"
"Yup". The entire day, Jonas spent time catching up with old friends. Most of the police station, those not retired, knew him and were happy. They had talked about Jonas getting a job as a police officer or detective but Jonas wasn't sure.
A part of him liked to pull the trigger too much for that.
The cuntress left him be as he looked over the male officer. "So Hirako, he made to detective?"
"You talking about Igarashi. Yeah, when the old man retired, he was selected as officer. None of us minded and he was a good choice." Jonas liked the old man. He was good and he knew the stuff. Like Jonas, he was fed up with was going on in the place. Jonas and his sis made a huge cleanup.
"And that bitch? Wasn't Sagaro your partner?" Jonas fondly remembered her. She was a bit strict but she wasn't a complete cunt. She had a soft spot for Jonas as well and she was good friends with his big sis.
"Maternity leave. She's from Tokyo. But she hasn't one idea how we do things here. When Sagaro is back, she'll go home. Can't wait till that happens." Jonas looked at her and he wasn't sure that he liked her. Sagaro might have been harsh but she was fair. "Tell me about it," Jonas said as he felt a bit sore.
It had been a while since he actually wanted to kill someone.
And he wasn't joking. Jonas was actually fucking pissed at her. But she left him be and Jonas sat down. The day passed and everyone left, except for him and Igarashi. The two sat down and they spent the time of playing cards as he was just to be on active duty.
"Thanks for keeping me company. The one good thing on your arrest?" Jonas wasn't sure what Igarashi meant when he said that. But he could guess.
"Don't you need to let your wife know you got night duty?" Jonas took a card from the deck as he looked over his options.
"What wife?" Igarashi said to him and Jonas could guess from the tone what happened.
"Divorce?" Jonas asked the thing he already knew. Igarashi didn't look so good compared to a few years ago.
"Indeed. So my home. I got it here."
"You live at the station?"
"Only place I could afford."
Jonas sighed as he looked to the man. "So you make to detective, pretty much becoming the guy in charge and she leaves?"
"Yep. From that point on, I lived here. Big tip. Never marry."
"Never intending to do. You want help?" Jonas asked. While his sister taught him the basic of finances and she was the one who monitored his cash, Jonas would help others out. This life was more valuable than any amount of money.
Besides, the amount of money he had was enough for him to live the rest of his life. So unlike other rich assholes, Jonas could spare some cash.
"I don't want that. I hate to ask for help." Igarashi said and Jonas knew that.
"It's not asking, I am offering. Besides, it's not like I really need the cash. You guys helped us out back in the day."
"A multiple benefits for all of us. And hey, if anything works out, I might help you guys. Although the Yakuza learned that they don't have to try and set a foothold here."
"Took them long enough. And enough deaths. I can't forget that night. What a night that was."
"The stuff of legends," Jonas answered and the men shared a laugh.
"It really is a pity you don't want to join the force. Although, I don't really blame you. It's not a life you're meant for." Igarashi parted the wisdom to Jonas and he nodded.
"But hey, I am this place deputy. No one fucks around this place without my say-so." Igarashi couldn't help but admit that part.
Kuoh was a cesspool for crime and corruption. Hands of the police were tied. He remembered the look of the old man when two siblings walked in with an offer to help. They'd clean up and they do their research.
While they weren't vigilantes, Igarashi didn't expect them to really do the stuff. In a few weeks' time, every crime boss in the city was dead and the vacuum wasn't filled up. The force knew who carried it out but they never made arrests as the theory was that there were other syndicates. But in the force, they knew who they were. And the point was that if you didn't find evidence, then leave it.
Of course, higher-ups were mad as hell as the place was riddled with corpses of Yakuza but no one found the perpetrators. It ended with a few death on that place but Kuoh became safe and things worked out.
And Igarashi was more than happy to be around this place. "But again, if you need help, come asking. You need to keep your friends around." Jonas said to him and the man smiled. At that point, the phone rang and they looked up.
It was weird to get calls in the middle of the night. Both men weren't eager to retire for the night. Igarashi because he had night duty and Jonas because he couldn't sleep.
"Kuoh police office, detective Igarashi speaking." Jonas noticed that the tone of Igarashi changed.
"What? You gotta be. Is the team alerted? Oh, Jesus fucking Christ on a bike. Fine. I'll be there."
Jonas looked at him in surprise. "Bad news?"
"Oh, you bet on it. Some crazy fuck has been around. Jonas, I know this isn't by the book but you mind coming along? I think we can use you." Jonas hasn't been around dead bodies for long but he decided to tag along.
"Okay. I'm fine with that." The man put on their coats and Jonas got an extra jacket as he took the clothes on and he moved along with the man. In the cab, it was quiet as neither men knew what to say. They ended up the place.
It would have been a normal neighborhood if the circus wasn't around. Igarashi looked on the team and he as Jonas were happy most of them came from Kuoh and knew Jonas. The detective showed his badge and Jonas felt relieved that the cunt wasn't around.
"Hey, Hirako," Jonas said and the young man was visibly disturbed. "Igarashi. Jonas. The victim's inside. Tanako Yasako. Twenty-five years old. Single. Has been living here since his mother died. Your average office worker. Nothing that points to criminality. But I don't think we'll have to look for that route."
Igarashi hadn't been around a crime scene like this and he was the most impatient. "Why not?"
"Just look at it boss and you'll know why." The men entered the place and they could see the blood that had dried up as the floor. "Fuck."
They smelled the scent of death and could see the man. "Holy shit," Igarashi said.
The victim had been strung up like Christ, crucified. Horrible way to go and painful as well. "You can say that. Jonas, you're the most experienced one. What are your ideas?"
"Psychopath. And a religious one at that. I don't see anything else." The youngest one spoke up and the two weren't convinced.
"Why do you think that?" Hirako asked, in a slightly incredulous tone.
"A hit and run. Don't think so. I mean. The fuck that did this to our poor friend took his time and knew how to torture. So no theft went wrong. An assassination or payback like from syndicate is unlikely. I mean. They torture but they'd do that at their compound. The guy who did this didn't give a damn if this would be found. And if you look at the room, this place had a struggle."
They saw how blasted the room was but one thing that Jonas noticed was that whatever happened, it wasn't just humans. That much was clear but Jonas wasn't going to spill the beans on that.
He had a hard time convincing them that Jonas was African. Explaining that whatever happened here involved his school or the ones that Jonas cared about, that would have been impossible.
"So psycho. Great. One thing I don't get. This guy was killed in a real bad spot but the one who did this didn't bother to cover up. Either he was expecting we'd drop by." Hirako thought out loud and Jonas shrugged on that.
"Or he was expecting someone else. The big question is who?" Jonas finished that.
"In any case, we can't do shit without a good autopsy and investigation. Hirako, when she comes around, tell your partner to help the techs and forensic to get this guy out and write a rapport out. I'm going to look up this guy's family at the station." Igarashi said as they couldn't do anything but wait.
"Tell the ones on the ground to ask around in the place. Someone must have heard or seen anything." Igarashi ordered as he had seen the old man doing it so many times.
'If a barrier was put, good luck. But I'll help you guys out as well. I can think of what is going on. And who put this poor sob up like this?' Jonas kept that to himself as he had a good idea who did this.
"Already did boss. And you need to see this message." A text was put on the wall. Due to the corpse, they ignored it but it was clear.
"Punishment for those who did bad deeds" Jonas read aloud as he was the best in English. "Whoever the fuck did this, is really sick."
"Amen to that, boy. Jonas, want me to drop you off at the station. You did your time and due to your testimony, your reputation, we can make this work. We'll need a few witness. Anyone in mind?" Igarashi said and Jonas thought about who he could ask.
He guessed Sona would be one. While she might not be all that eager to help, he knew that she wouldn't stand for what Miko did. The risk was that she refused. Jonas could find someone else for that part. "Try Sona Shitori. She's student council president. She might help you guys out."
The black haired guy felt tired after being awake for twenty-four hours but he was so used to this but Jonas was aware this wasn't healthy. And he thought on what was going on in this place.
"Okay. Get in and we'll do what you say."
"Keep me in touch. I might help you guys out." Hirako was happy to hear that and the orders came around.
Igarashi drove Jonas back to the station. When Jonas got his bag, he said goodbye to Igarashi for the hospitality. On the way out, he bumped out to the bitch. With a glare, he left and walked to his school. When he got there, it was still early and Jonas was sure that things were still quiet but it would be an uproar when they'd see him on the school so soon.
When he walked in the gates, he thought of catching some sleep on his desk. But one bit told him to look after his shoulder as he saw someone who betted on him.
"Kerevechko-senpai. Can I speak to you for a minute?"
The former mercenary child soldier wondered what Issei wanted from him. But something told him that this was maybe something good.
I know that ending here is a dick move, especially after so long but I have been stuck on this chapter for ages and I have been thinking about this.
And with school over for a bit, I could finish this chapter. You all can see this as my Christmas gift. Thank you all for the support I have been getting for the last month and thank you for waiting so long.
Have a Merry Christmas you all and I hope to hear from you guys in next year.
Saluut.
