New Life.

I hear someone knocking the door. I go to open while being somewhat annoyed. We had our exposition this morning, and while Akai and I got a great grade, Tenshi-kun and Haruka got a perfect one… by the way, María is also on Okoma Academy now. She's a second year like me.

"Hey yo kiddo."

Azazel-sama says that in totally unserious tone. The more I know him, the harder it is to me to pay him the respect he deserves as the Governor General of the Fallen Angels and leader of Grigori.

"Azazel-sama, please go inside and enjoy your stay."

Governor-sama contacted me short after the [Rating Game] with Tiffania saying he would come today. I wonder what he's planning to do.

When he sits on the couch, María appears and points towards him with her swords!

"I'm finally able to meet you, Azazel, leader of the Fallen Angels. Your men have done great damage to me, so I came to get my revenge on you!"

"Stop María, he isn't here to attack you or declare war."

Ham says that while holding her. On his side, Azazel-sama stands up and says something in serious tone, which is weird coming from him.

"I heard about you. You're the Exorcist that killed the Fallen Angel who attacked that small town on Guatemala. I truly sorry for that; that criminal went against our orders and attacked that place you lived in. I hope this can compensate you in some way."

Azazel-sama hands a strange artefact to María. She takes it despite not knowing what it is.

"So, Governor Azazel, why did you come to my house?"

Ram asks that to Azazel-sama. He sits down in a more serious position than before and answers.

"I came here because of 2 reasons. First of all, I want to see the sword created by Haruka Sorami."

Haruka takes out his sword and shows it to Governor Azazel-sama. He soon starts smiling.

"A sword that combines both holy and demonic energy. A Holy Demonic Sword, as I heard. If the naïve Michael-kun knew about this, he would go nuts. Does it have a name?"

"I never thought it would need a name, so I never gave it one. What's your idea?"

Oh no. Governor-sama is known for his chunnibyou names, so nothing good can come out of it. Azazel-sama takes out a sword made of both light and darkness and yells his silly idea.

"[Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade 2: The Second Coming of the Combined Light and Darkness]!"

… This one is even sillier than average. Since I can see everyone is dumbfounded at the name, I ask the Azazel-sama to change that horrible in a subtle way.

"Can you think of a shorter one, Governor Azazel-sama?"

"Hmm, what about [Darkness Knight Fang]?"

"Well, I'm a Devil, and my piece is the Knight, so I think the name fits me."

So it's going to be [Darkness Knight Fang]. But, [Fang]? As in wolf's fangs? Isn't it a sword?

"Well, the second reason is to look closely at Rito's [Sacred Gear]."

I summon the entirety of [Destiny Deck] on my arm, including the disk where the cards are kept.

"[Destiny Deck]… this is a really unusual type of [Sacred Gear]. Before coming here, I went to ask Michael-kun about it. He says it has to be a glitch on God's system."

He takes some of the cards and look at them closely.

"There are 21 cards in total, right? If that's the case, then this has 21 different abilities, and you haven't reached [Balance Breaker] yet. That's insane. [Longinus] normally have 2 or 3 abilities, but this one more than 21?! That truly sounds like a malfunction on the system!"

He clearly is interested on my [Sacred Gear]… wait, did he say [Longinus]?

"Excuse me Azazel-sama, but did you just call my [Destiny Deck] a [Longinus]?"

"Well, yeah. It has so many abilities that it should be considered cheating, especially that [Number XVII: The Star] whose power has limitless potential. I already asked Michael-kun; he said God also wanted to label it as one, so it is a [Longinus] now."

Limitless potential… just like Silverage said. So I'm a [Longinus] wielder now, huh.

"Well, it was nice to talk to you guys. Hope to see you again. By the way, Rito; Baraqiel said he's worried about you, but hopes you can live your peacefully."

And so, Azazel-sama teleported using a magic circle. At least I'm living a peaceful without my stepfather, so he can stop caring about me.

"Huh, Ram? There's something I need to ask you. How many pieces do I consume?"

"Just 1 Pawn."

"Then there's something I don't understand. How it is possible that I'm only 1 Pawn if I have a [Longinus] tier [Sacred Gear] with limitless potential?"

"Because that Pawn was a [Mutation Piece]. For that I have no idea what your actual value is."

I'm a [Mutation Piece]… for some reason, I feel many praises have been directed to me today. Sure, with the sad exception of Edelross-sensei's grade, I didn't get the praise there.

Seven Sins

"Greed, explain me this!"

Pride says that while calling for Greed. However I, Wrath, totally understand his anger.

"What happens?"

"Spadaccino Nero is alive."

"No, he's not."

"Yes, he is."

Gluttony says that in serious tone. He then shows the video from the [Rating Game] between Silverage Lucifuge and Seila Bael in Lucifer's tournament.

"He's clearly fighting as a member of Silverage Lucifuge's peerage."

"I remember that white haired bastard… Just give a moment and I'll kill him agai- ahhhh!"

Greed starts to burn from Pride's Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames. He clearly is mad.

"Don't fail me ever again."

As Greed suffers from his punishment and Gluttony laughs at his suffering, Lust seems to be calculating something.

"This Silverage Lucifuge is closely related to Ram Phenex… I think I need to investigate deeper about these Devils."

As Lust goes to investigate, I look at Pride with a mocking smile.

"I told you that since those are Lucifer's protégés, they would cause us some troubles."

"Shut up, Wrath. Ossan may have picked them as his protégés, but we are The Seven Deadly Sins, we must proceed on our plan; and if killing those kids is needed to kill Lucifer-ossan, then I'm willing to do it with Ddriag's power."

As Pride says that, he goes back to his bedroom. He's right; Lucifer needs to die to fulfil our goal, and while I find those kids to be special, if they're going to interfere in our plan, then I'm going to show them the power of the sins.
