Author's Notes: Since the majority of the people who responded to my previous question wanted a regular sized arc instead of a short one, this will now be a regular sized arc. You can expect a few subjects to be brought up in this chapter. Now for the reviews.
DragonXDelinquent: Without going into any potential spoilers, that subject will brought up a little later in the arc.
Cobalt Striker Gundam: Don't worry about it and thanks.
Bl4ze777: A little later on, when I think it's the right time.
Stratos263: Sure thing.
Keybladewielder97: Good eye. Yes it's a reference, well that and Vince plays too much video games.
Ryuuto Tiamat Raizel: Alright.
Guest: Ok. To answer your first question, Vince's ideal girlfriend personality wise would is a kind woman that doesn't back down from a problem and has a strong sense of justice. As for the second question, Vince's ideal male best friend would be a calm and level headed guy that has similar interests like him.
zero kazama: Ah, I see what you mean.
TyriusVillers: Thanks a lot.
ZeroSaga: Well, to put it simply Vince's Balance Breaker isn't what it should be exactly and that's because of how he really feels about his Sacred Gears.
The Storm Master 567: Thanks and ok.
enjiro99: I suppose. The song is good and it fits the arc to a certain extent.
NERO TOVACK: At the moment, I don't have any plans to do that.
ASTROFOX: Probably not. I have other plans in mind.
Dholpagus: To me, not really. It doesn't exactly have the same effect with one of Vince's love interest to be honest. Besides, Vince isn't clumsy and him accidently tripping was a rare occasion.
Guest 2: Thanks for the suggestions, while Vince will use different weapons I don't think he'll be using them. It's a bit OP'd if I'm perfectly honest.
sigmon: Controlling Leviathan was never the problem, it was that it wasted so much energy from Vince that it wasn't worth it. But yes, it's more powerful with Vince's Balance Breaker, despite being incomplete though.
That's all for the reviews. It's been fun replying to everyone, now on the chapter.

"And so, from today on I'll be the advisor of this occult research club. Please call me Azazel-sensei. Or Governor is fine too." Azazel said wearing a suit that looked slightly worn out.
"I think I'll pass on that." Vince said rubbing his temples slightly.
"Same here." Rena added, frowning a little.
"Why?"
"You're too shady./You're too suspicious." Vince and Rena replied in unison.
"Sheesh, you kids today sure are harsh." Azazel commented, sighing.
"I don't think that was very nice you two." Kasumi chided shaking her head a little. "I'm sure Azazel-sensei isn't that bad."
"He could be even worse though." Akari noted with a small grimace.
"I agree with Akari on this one." Vince stated thoughtfully.
"You do realize I'm still in the room right?" Azazel asked, his eye twitching a little at the lack of respect he received.
"...So, why are you here?" Rias asked, looking preplexed.
"Hah! I was requested to take this position by Serafall's little sister! Well, it's because I'm a super-cool guy. I score even with schoolgirls!" Azazel boasted in a confident tone.
"...I think I'll take back what I said earlier." Kasumi agreed quietly.
"That's forbidden! Or rather, why would Sona do such a thing?" Rias asked rubbing her temples a little.
"Sona either took up a little too much chalk dust up the nose or she's finally showing the family resemblance between her and Serafall." Vince said bluntly.
"Don't talk about Sona or Serafall-sama like that Vince." Rias replied, looking slightly annoyed.
"You're so stubborn, Rias Gremory. I was told by Serafall's sister that this was requested by Sirzechs. That's why she requested me." Azazel answered grinning a bit.
"Ah. So it must be a Maou thing." Everyone turned to Vince who shrugged. "Serafall and Sona makes questionable choices, just like you and Sirzechs, Rias."
A tickmark appeared on Rias' face while Azazel chuckled. "Is this payback for her along with the others did to you yesterday?"
"Maybe. I already messed with the others when I got the chance." Vince promptly turned to Kasumi, Akari, Rena and Akeno with an irritated look.
They each gave Vince a slightly annoyed look in response to which he responded by smiling slyly, much to their annoyance.
"Wait, what about that arm? How did you attach that one?" Issei asked point to Azazel's arm.
"Ah, this. It's a genuine artificial arm that I produced while researching Sacred Gears. It's an all-purpose arm that can be loaded with light power-style laser beams and tiny missiles. I wanted to be equipped with such a thing once. I equipped it in commemoration of my lost arm." As Azazel said this his hand flew out and did several rotations as it spun to the side.
"What happened to your real arm? I tossed it back to you." Vince asked looking a bit confused.
"Oh, I did a few rearrangements with that arm and an artificial one." Azazel replied in a nonchant tone.
Vince sweatdropped while Rena looked mildly creeped out.
"The condition for me staying at this school is that I make the immature Sacred Gears possessed by the Devils of the Gremory family grow. Well, my knowledge as a Sacred Gear enthusiast is useful, after all. You guys have also heard about it, but there is a weird organization called the "Khaos Brigade". As a future deterrent against them, the "Welsh Dragon" and your family have become famous. Rather than that, I'm an expert on the opposing "Vanishing Dragon". From the information I got on him, I know that Vali has his own team. We're temporarily calling it the "Hakuryuukou Team". Several people are gathering around the ones who've been identified at present, Vali and Son Goku." Azazel concluded with a sigh.
"But we're not apart of the "family"." Rena pointed out as she gestured towards herself, Vince, Kasumi and Akari.
"No you're not technically but all of you are apart of the Occult Research Club, right?" Azazel questioned.
In response to their question they nodded with Vince nodding, a bit hesitantly. He then nodded, "Then you're pretty much considered to be apart of them."
(I'm not sure whether to take that as an insult or not...) Vince thought frowning a little.
"Are Vali and the others going to attack here again?" Issei asked in a curious tone.
Azazel shook his head at Issei's question. "They won't attack here again. It was a rare chance for an assassination on the leaders of the three great powers at the conference, but that also failed. Their current opponents are Heaven and the Underworld. In the Underworld, all the Fallen Angels under my orders have joined together with the Devils. The Underworld won't fall so easily. The Seraph guys in Heaven also wouldn't remain silent. Also, there are the free-loading strong sacred beasts in heaven and demonic beasts as well."
"...So it's a war?" Issei questioned, looking a bit concerned.
"No, it's still at the skirmish level. You could say both they and us are in a preparatory period. Don't worry, something like war won't occur until you people graduate from university, let alone this school's high school division. Enjoy your school life fully. -However, it is the long-awaited preparatory period. So you'll be doing various preparations, right?" Azazel asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well..." Issei titled his in confusion while Vince could only sigh at this.
"Sekiryuutei, don't think about it too hard. Either way, since you lack brains, you'll make no progress if you worry too much. Your enemy is Hakuryuukou Vali to the bitter end. Just don't forget that single fact." Azazel then turned to Vince. "And what about you? Vali has also acknowledged you as his rival."
"I have enough stuff to deal with as it is. I have no time to be playing "rival" with some battle-hungry idiot. Besides, he's not important enough for me to care." Vince responded coldly.
Azazel shook his head in disapproval. "You shouldn't underestimate the situation. You along with Issei were only able to repel Vali because you of two working together despite it being very rough and your combined the dragon-slaying swords you got from Michael along with Boosted Gear's power and the Life Engine. Also, Vali didn't go all out. If it weren't for that you two would have lost. Rather, you could only fight thanks to the compatibility this time, while you Vince were able to catch Vali off guard numerous times. If it was another opponent that wasn't a Dragon and possessed power of Vali's level, both of you would have been killed."
"Nice lecture although we were able to damage Vali considerably. And remember that it was your fault that Vali went after us to begin with." Vince retorted, in a forced tone.
Azazel slightly frowned but sighed. "I know that but the only reason why that happened was because he greatly underestimated you two. That won't be happening the next time." He then turned to Issei. "And, can you use the Hakuryuukou's power because of this?"
"No, it doesn't function at all." Issei said shaking his head.
"What about you and the Life Engine, Vince?" Azazel asked curiously.
"Haven't tried. I'm not exactly in the mood to waste up my energy after what happened yesterday." Vince remarked in a slightly sarcastic tone.
"I see, fair enough. Either way, it's as I thought. You can't handle something that strong so easily. It's beneficial to take in another dragon's power. It's an entirely different matter whether you can freely control it or not. If used unskillfully, it may be an ability that is more difficult than attaining Balance Breaker. However, the power you took in once should have been recorded into Ddraig's soul. The rest depends on training. -In addition, you'll first have to complete hellish training in the long term. If you're weak but in absurdly high spirits, you'll die." Azazel explained grimly.
"And Vince, you'll have to train with your Balance Breaker and in addition with your Life Engine. Even though those two powers were harmonized it's still very risky and could become very unstable, you hold both Ddraig and Albion's power in your Balance Breaker. It also doesn't help that your Balance Breaker is currently incomplete." Azazel stated, causing Vince to frown.
He then turned to Issei. "Your Sekiryuutei power is also too unstable. Its explosive power is tremendous, but that's also only temporarily. A lower rank opponent would instantly be brought down with that, but it would be suppressed by a higher rank opponent. If you're also going to participate in the Rating Games as a Devil from now on, you must stabilise the Sekiryuutei's mighty power. For all that, you first need to attain Balance Breaker. Having said that, Rating Games aren't straightforward either. Something like a "Pawn" that consumed only one piece taking down the "King" also happens. Everything depends on how you fight. I'll have to teach you all about that as well."
"You seem well-informed about Rating Games." Rias noted, raising an eyebrow.
"Devils aren't the only fans of the game, you know? Thanks to the peace pact, there are also a lot of Angels and Fallen Angels going out to watch the games unreservedly." Azazel answered without skipping a beat.
"Therefore, for the time being, we'll build up your body so that it can fight for long periods of time. Vince as for you, we'll also do the same while trying to complete your Balance Breaker." Azazel stated, turning his gaze from Issei and towards Vince's Sacred Gear.
"...Yes."
Vince however didn't respond and just looked away. (I have more important things to do.)
"Can I become strong?" Issei asked, looking at Azazel.
"I'll make you strong. Since I'm a Fallen Angel with free time." He replied with a mischievous smile.
Issei then pointed at Gasper. "If, for example, we're attacked another time, can't we do something with Gasper's time-stopping?"
As if on cue, Vince quickly took out a pair of earbuds and placed it in his ears, while turning on his MP3 player.
"S-S-S-S-Senpai! W-W-W-W-What are you sayiiiiiiing!? Hiiiiii!" Gasper shouted, his body trembling.
"It's not worth considering if he's alone. We don't know what kind of people are in the "Khaos Brigade"." Azazel said shrugging a little.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm so useless! I'm not useful at all! I'm garbage! I'm pig food! I'm seriously reflecting deeper than the sea, and I possess a target higher than Evereeeeeeest! So please don't abandon meeeeeee!" Gasper cried, quickly going inside his cardboard box.
"I wonder if some shock therapy would help?" Vince mused.
Gasper's body trembled upon hearing him. "N-N-N-N-Nooooo! I don't want to be s-s-s-s-shooooocked!"
Rena frowned and swatted Vince's shoulder while Rias also frowned. "You're not going to do that Vince."
"I wasn't talking about me." Vince pointed a thumb at Akeno. "Besides, I'm sure the S&M priestess knows something."
Akeno's eye twitched violently at the title and Azazel laughed. "Oh, that's a new one I haven't heard before."
After a few moments of laughing Azazel cleared his throat. "Oh that's right. Holy demonic sword kid. How long can you fight in Balance Breaker?"
"Currently, one hour is my limit." Kiba answered.
"That's not good. At the very least, you need to make sure that you're able to continue using it for 3 days." He said shaking his head.
"I-I can only do it for ten seconds under restricted conditions..." Issei spoke sighing a little.
"You'll have to retrain from scratch. The Hakuryuukou can stay in Balance Breaker for one month. That's the difference between you." Azazel informed.
Azazel's gaze then turned towards Akeno. "Do you still hate us- no, Baraqiel?"
"I have no intention of forgiving him. Since it's that person's fault that my mother died." Akeno answered with a stern expression.
"Akeno, when you fell down to being a Devil, he said nothing." Azazel stated.
Akeno's eyes narrowed. "Naturally. That person isn't in a position where he can say something to me."
"That's not what I meant. No, well, it might be thoughtless of me to enter into the space of you parent and child." He replied.
"I don't consider that person as my father!" Akeno said clearly.
'I see. But, I don't think it's bad that you joined the Gremory family. If things were otherwise, what would Baraqiel think, I wonder?" Azazel mused, more to himself.
Akeno didn't respond to Azazel's comment and stood there sliently, looking conflicted
Vince wordlessly went to Akeno and lightly patted her on the shoulder. She turned towards him for a moment and briefly smiled.
Then, Azazel's eyes turned to Kasumi and Akari. The two remained silently nearly the entire time, merely listening to everyone. "Kasumi and Akari, right? You two are quite strong for humans, but even with your training it would not be enough for the enemies in the future. They will be very powerful."
"Then we'll train even harder to get stronger. I can't let Vince, or my friends fight alone." Kasumi answered in a confident tone.
"Yes, I don't want to see Vince or my friends get hurt either. I'll train to get even stronger." Akari stated.
Azazel noticed the determined looks from the two kunoichi and chuckled. He then turned towards Rena. "And what about you? The enemies will only get stronger."
"I don't care. I'm going to stay and fight." A small smirk then appeared on her face. "Besides, someone has to keep an eye on Vince, he keeps getting himself into trouble."
Vince however shrugged. "Trouble looks for me, all I do is just fight back."
"Hah! You really have some good girlfriends with you Vince. I'd say you already have a harem." Azazel said laughing loudly.
Kasumi, Akari and Rena blushed while Vince looked annoyed. "Whatever."
"Well, just like with Issei both you and Akari need to build your body, to be able to handle difficult battles just a few attacks from an enemy like Vali and you're going to be killed. Rena, you on the other hand need more experience in battle. It's pretty obvious that you have very little experience with a real battle."
The three nodded in response while Azazel turned his gaze over to Issei. "Hey, Sekiryuutei- is Issei fine? Issei, your dream is to make a harem, right?"
"Yeah, that's right..."
"Shall I teach you about harems? Even though I look like this, I'm a man who has formed hundreds of harems in the past, you know? You won't lose anything by hearing about it and what about you Vince? You've already got a good head start but hearing some extra advice wouldn't hurt." Azazel commented.
"...Uh, what?" Vince questioned looking perplexed, at being asked such a question.
"S-S-S-S-S-S-Seriously!?" Issei asked lamely, after hearing him.
"Yeah, seriously. Are you two a virgin?" Azazel questioned with a curious expression
"Y-Yes!"
"Not that, that's any of your business but no." Vince answered, surprising almost everyone in the room.
Azazel then nodded in response. "Even better then. All right, I'll also teach you two about women. It's better to become a man that properly ensnares even beautiful women. The story of how I fell like this was because I rubbed the breasts of human women. I don't compromise when it comes to ero."
"Y-You fell for such a thing!? Eh? And Vince you're going to really listen to him? Seriously!?" Rias asked with a fed-up expression.
Issei nodded while Vince shrugged. "I don't see why not? It seems to greatly annoy you and the others."
"And that's why you're going to listen to him!?" Rias shouted looking at him in disbelief.
"Naturally."
"Really. According to legend, the leaders of the Grigori were tempted by human women and fell for teaching them valuable knowledge from heaven." Issei spoke.
Azazel smiled as he heard Issei's comment. "We were young back then too. We blindly believed that "God was great!" and "God was wonderful!" with our virginity standing out. Hahaha, after we lost to temptation in the end and had sex with women, we lost our virginity and also lost our place in heaven."
"I see..." Vince said nodding as he paid attention, much to the growing ire of Rena, Kasumi, Akeno, Akari and Rias.
"Ah, somehow, I'm suddenly sympathetic for the Fallen Angels." Issei said grinning a bit.
"Ooh, you two really are sensible, aren't you? That's right, if you're a man, live in a state of desire. Devour woman! If you sleep with them and have sex, strength will follow along with confidence. -I shall produce your graduation ceremony. I'll introduce you to some of the beautiful Fallen Angel women among my subordinates. They'd also probably be happy to have sex if their partner is a legendary Dragon. You're not a virgin Vince but there are quite a few beautiful Fallen Angel women that already want to have sex with you, you've built up a quick reputation for yourself in such a short time." Azazel informed grinning.
"Uooooo! Seriously!? I can graduate!? I will follow you, sensei!" Issei exclaimed.
"Is there any strings attached to this? It's just a one night stand?" Vince wondered, surprising the others.
"Oh, I see. Nope no strings attached Vince. All right, then we'll go out on a virginity -graduation tour as for you Vince, we'll find you a one night stand." Azazel said with a small nod.
Issei's eyes light up while Asia quickly became alarmed and held his arm tightly, she became teary-eyed as she held on to him. "Issei-san, do you mean to leave me and go somewhere far away...?"
Vince smirked for a moment before he was stopped by Rena who gave him an intense look, with a slightly disturbed expression. "You're not going Vince. I don't want you to!"
"What the hell is wrong with you? Also don't say strange things like that." Vince stated, still looking slightly disturbed.
She hugged him tightly surprising him, while Rias became flustered and quickly spoke up in a worried tone. "P-Please wait a moment, Azazel! Please don't give Vince strange ideas!"
"It's fine, isn't it? At this age, it's perfectly healthy to be acquainted with one or two women. Or is there something wrong with your fiancé being already acquainted with women? Now that I think about it, he's started to get acquainted right now." Azazel said pointing towards Vince and Rena.
Vince unconsciously pulled Rena closer to himself. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist.
Rena smiled lovingly and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Vince..."
She tilted her head and brought her lips closer to his but before Rena could kiss him, Rias quickly embraced Vince from behind ruining the moment.
"S-Stop it! I'm the one you should have these moments with and why are you going to have a one night stand at another place after you protected someone else's chastity!?" Rias exclaimed.
"Don't scream in my damn ear Rias!" Vince shouted back.
"Stop interrupting our moments together! You spoiled rotten brat!" Rena yelled, glaring at her.
"Excuse me?!"
Vince having had enough, got out of both Rias and Rena's embrace and promptly got out of the way as the two glared ferociously at each other.
"Ara, ara, Vince-kun, I'll be lonely if you participate on the tour." Akeno said with a sorrowful expression.
"I don't want you to go either. Please Vince?" Kasumi pleaded with a sad look.
"Please don't leave Vince. Besides, you promised you would take my chasity, remember?" Akari asked, taking his hand and placing it on her breast.
Everyone's eyes widened in the room at her admittance, Azazel then laughed loudly. "Oh man, you are full of surprises Vince!"
"Vince you lucky bastard! It's not fair..." Issei exclaimed, muttering that last part to himself.
"...Issei-senpai is the worst." Koneko said laughing a little.
"If you leave then it won't be easy to produce a child...muu." Xenovia stated in a worried tone.
"You sure are popular, Issei-senpai, Vince-senpai! As a hikikomori, I admire you!" Gasper spoke from the box.
(Why the hell am I have this type of day today?) Vince wondered, trying break free from their tight grip.
"Now, you can't speak ill of me any more, can you?" Kiba asked while Issei looked confused.
"You also can't bitch about me being a lucky bastard anymore." Vince pointed out, glancing at Xenovia, Asia and Koneko.
Watching this, Azazel laughed heartily. "Hahaha! What's with this! I see, I see. That's right, Dragons naturally form polygamies. So you don't require my teaching. Well, this place has become a location for representatives from the three-way alliance. The Governor of the Fallen Angels, the Maou's little sister, backup from the Angel's side, and a legendary Dragon. Let's all get along from now on. The current objective is for the Sekiryuutei to perfect Balance Break. And for all of you to power up. You should train and achieve that during summer vacation."
"I'm not a dragon why the hell am I going through this then?" Vince asked aloud, finally breaking free from their grip.
"You have Ddraig and Albion's dragon aura in your Sacred Gear, even before then you were developing your own harem without even noticing." Azazel explained easily.
"Tch. Can I get rid of it? The dragon aura I mean." Vince asked with a mildly annoyed expression.
"Not to sure and why would you want to get rid of something like that?" Azazel questioned in a curious tone.
"It'll be a nuisance later on." He replied dryly.
"We also have to become stronger too." Rias said serious.
Azazel nodded in agreement. "It doesn't hurt to become stronger. So, according to talk, there's going to be a meeting of young Devils in a few days after summer vacation begins, right? I heard Rias Gremory was included among the names of promising young Devils that are close to debuting."
"Yes, noble families and old families meet together with several young devils. It seems to be a custom." Rias explained with a small nod.
"Is it fine to think about games at a time when a terrorist attack occurred?" Issei asked looking a little confused.
"I in fact recommend it. Battles in the games will be good experience for current young devils without previous battle experience. It's because the present devils are crowded together with reincarnated Devils of humans, Fallen Angels and Demonic Beasts. They are troubled by their opponents. Abundant battlefields have been established and fighting methods have come in an infinite variety responding to that. There isn't a favorable environment for training young people like this. Unexpectedly, Sirzechs and the others have looked at the current situation with the future in mind when they created these games. They make them compete with other Devils and the quality of power is raised. Since they're a greedy group, it fits them. -What crafty guys they are." Azazel explained.
"That's nobles for you." Vince pointed out with a small shrug.
"Don't worry, I'll drive into you how to use your personal power and your Sacred Gear's power. And there are plans for the matches to be set during your training camp as well. I believe they're doing it in Rating Game style. I've already finished probing Sirzechs about it." Azazel informed with a mischievous smile.
"Good thing I'm not apart of this." Vince muttered to himself.
Azazel only laughed. "Kukuku, there's the Boosted Gear which has begun an unknown evolution. And there's also the holy demonic sword. Furthermore, there's the "Forbidden Balor View" and then there's Element Brand with it's original evolved forms and Angel/Devil the Sacred Gear forbiddened by God. I'll drive my research results into them and explore their original evolved forms."
Vince palmed his face upon hearing this. "I'm not getting out of this, aren't I?"
"Nope."
"There is one thing I've been meaning to ask you Vince." Azazel gestured towards the bracelet on his wrist. "How exactly does your Sacred Gear allow you to turn into a devil and an angel?"
"...Do I have the option to refuse?" Vince asked, after a moment of silence.
"No. I'm really curious as to how the transformation process works." Azazel replied looking curious.
Everyone else in the room also looked curious and soon everyone looked at Vince expectedly, much to his disdain.
"..."
[Go ahead and tell them Vince. I don't you'll be able to keep this a secret longer either way.] Yume commented suddenly.
"Troublesome." Vince rubbed the back of his neck with his hand and sighed. "My Sacred Gear contains the DNA of an actual devil and an angel. That is how I'm able to transform and also they're both dead."
Everyone's stared at Vince incredulously while Azazel let out a low whistle. "No wonder that was banned, a lot of people in the Underworld and in the Heavens would be shocked. So who's DNA are you using to transform?"
"I don't know. All I know is that almost all of their genetics traits were wiped clean so I wouldn't inherit anything unnecessary from them. Some genetic traits were kept in so the DNA can be identifiable, but it's hardly noticeable. The Sacred Gear used my desire to mold the two DNA's into what you see today." Vince answered shrugging a little.
"I see... That Sacred Gear spirit, Yume right? Does she know the origin of the DNA?" Azazel asked raising an eyebrow.
"...Yume?"
[I can answer who's angel DNA you have Vince, the devil's DNA is a bit harder to point out who it is unfortunately but I do know which pillar the devil's DNA came from.] Yume answered a loud, surprising the others.
"Wait, so the DNA Vince has been using comes from one of the pillars?!" Rias asked sounding completely shocked.
[Yes. Though I don't know the name of who it is. I can say however, that the devil in question was from one of the pillars. At the time before his death she was an Ultimate-Class Devil in terms of just power alone.] Yume said, confirming Rias' question.
"Which clan is the DNA from?" Azazel questioned.
[Valefor.]
Everyone's eyes widened in shock with the exception of Issei who looked lost and Vince who just blinked in confusion. "Valefor...?"
[Yes. The devil's DNA inside of Angel/Devil belonged to a member of the Valefor clan before she was killed in the Great War.] Yume informed.
"That would mean that the house of Valefor isn't extinct." Rias spoke in a surprised tone.
"But I don't have any genetic traits from the Valefor clan, so it's not really the same." Vince pointed out.
"Yume is it? That DNA sample that came from the house of Valefor, is it pure-blooded?" Azazel asked with a curious look.
[Yes.]
"Very interesting. The explains why your demonic power is so potent as a Devil then." Azazel mused with a grin. "We'll also have let Sirzechs know about this."
"Why?"
"It's very important and who knows? You might even be able to go in that meeting of young devils, since you do hold the DNA of a pure-blooded devil." Azazel stated.
"I refuse."
"But you could have your own peerage because of your devil's DNA in your Sacred Gear and have an even bigger harem." Azazel commented with a grin.
Rena, Rias, Akeno, Akari and Kasumi all sent glares towards Azazel upon his suggestion while Vince shook his head. "I'll pass. My life's already complicated enough as it is."
"I also hear that the house of Valefor has powerful occult medicine that can cure a lot illments. They're also pretty good thievery so I'm positive that they have a lot of treasure, not to mention you can have your own maid, even the ones that used to work in the Valefor clan and since they're nobody in the runnings you'll be the head of the Valefor clan." Azazel reasoned, trying to pique Vince's interests.
Vince's eye twitched violently. "Hell no. Agreeing to take over a clan is like opening a pandora's box. Besides, I have no moral obligation to being an heir or a head of a clan."
Azazel sighed and shook his head. "Sheesh, you sure are stubborn... so who's angel DNA does he have Yume?"
[Thankfully the angel's DNA is much easier to identify. It's Lailah, The Angel of Night.] Yume answered casually.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock yet again, while Vince looked a bit confused.
"Umm, who's Lailah?" Issei asked, also looking confused.
"Lailah was a very powerful angel that died in the Great War, and was the one of the very few beings that could use Sacred Darkness. She may not have been a Seraphim but she was easily as powerful one." Azazel answered in a surprised tone.
"Did you ever met her before?" Vince asked raising an eyebrow.
Azazel nodded in response. "Yeah, I met her a few times back when the Great War was still happening. She was one opponent you do not want to take lightly."
"Hn."
"We'll also have to tell Micheal about this." Azazel commented after a moment of silence. "He does want to create the lost members of Heaven, mainly the Seraphim."
"I care as much about Heaven as much as I do the Underworld." Vince answered flatly.
Azazel nodded while nothing Vince's lack of sympathy. "I see. There is one question I would like to ask though Vince."
"...About?"
"Why is it that I cannot sense any amount of magic energy within you? Element Brand requires magic energy in order for it to be used and yet you don't have any." Azazel asked, his gaze turning towards the tattoo on the back of Vince's hand.
Vince however shrugged. "I use my own stamina to make it work instead of magic. Besides, in addition to not having magic energy, I'm also not compatible to any form of magic that doesn't come out of my Sacred Gear."
"And why is that? It's very unusual for that to happen." Azazel remarked in a questioning tone.
Everyone else then turned to Vince, listening intently while he shrugged. Yume however cleared her throat and spoke up. [When Vince was born he almost died because of the overwhelming power of his Sacred Gears. I was able to save him thanks to Venelana-san and Elena-san, but unfortunately Vince can't use magic or be compatible with magic outside of his Sacred Gear as a result. So I made a few changes so it uses Vince's stamina instead of magic. Vince's second Sacred Gear, also uses his stamina including the Balance Breaker.]
With the exception of Vince, who didn't show any signs of caring, everyone else in the room looked sad while Azazel let out a low whistle. "You must have a lot of stamina in order to do all of that. I'm pretty sure that stamina will come in handy later for your harem."
Rias, Kasumi, Akeno, Rena and Akari all blushed at the implication with both Kasumi and Rena blushing even more. Vince however rolled his eyes at the remark. "You know, you really have a lot of time on your hands if you're making an innuendo about a sixteen year old's stamina."
Azazel's eye twitched at the jab while Vince turned to Rias. "I'll meet you in the shopping district in an hour."
Rias blushed but nodded. "S-Sure. Where are we going?"
"The mall." Vince said as he walked out of the room.
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince sighed as he looked in his closet, looking through his clothes, after a few minutes of mentally debating to himself he settled on taking a black shirt, a navy blue jacket and a pair of gray pants.
[Vince?]
"Yeah?"
[Can you tell me about how Chloe was able to come to you like that? I thought she was in a coma.] Yume asked, sounding curious.
Vince paused for a moment before shrugging and taking off his clothes. "Two years ago, Chloe gave me a gift. She basically said that it was something to help if I was ever in deep trouble and she wasn't around to help me."
[Oh. I wonder if she had some sort of forethought that something would happen to her.] She commented.
Vince nodded as he placed his clothes on. "I wouldn't be surprised if she did. Chloe is a genius and she's as sharp as a tack."
(Flashback)
Chloe smiled as she patted Vince on the head, he looked at her mildly annoyed while she still smiled. "Vince?"
"Yeah?"
"If you ever find yourself in big trouble, I'll help you out." She replied in a cheerful tone.
"...Ok?"
Vince's eyes widened when he saw Chloe's hand radiating a small light. She gently grabbed his hand and the light transferred over to him.
He looked at his hand that glowed a small light before it faded. "What the heck was that?"
"It's something to help you incase I can't do it myself." Chloe said smiling a little.
"Oh."
Chloe then stood up and turned towards him. "So Vince, do you think someday you'll get married?"
Vince turned towards her with a slightly confused look. "Why are you asking me that question?"
"Well, it's a question I'm asking all of your classmates Vince." She answered, "And I'm really curious to see what you would say. You're always so silent in the classroom."
"You do know, you're just a part-time teacher's assistant, right?" He asked dryly.
"I know, but still can you tell me?" She asked, looking at him expectedly.
Vince rolled his eyes but nodded. "Fine. I don't plan on getting married, as long as I have someone to clean my house and a woman to have sex with, what's the point of a marriage?"
Chloe looked at him completely mortified and caught off-guard by his response. "W-Why would you think that a marriage is like that!?"
"Because it's accurate? Another reason why I want to avoid marrying is because I'll have to give up half of my stuff if it goes bad." Vince answered with a shrug.
"Vince, where did you learn that type of stuff?" She questioned, frowning a bit.
"Well aside from watching it on T.V. that guy over there is calling that woman a gold digging whor-" Vince's mouth was then immediately covered by Chloe's hand.
"We should get going Vince and please don't say those types of things. Also please don't repeat anything you've heard today. A fourteen year old should not speak in that type of language." Chloe said, dragging Vince by the arm.
"It still proves my point that a marriage sucks." Vince pointed out as he was dragged away by her.
(Flashback End)
(I should get going now. I'll be late if I stay here any longer.) Vince thought as he left his room.
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince leaned against the wall, inside of the mall with his eyes closed. (I wonder if there's a good café around here. Hmm, maybe the food court would be better...?)
"Did you wait long Vince?" A feminine voice spoke, gaining his attention.
"Hm?" Vince opened his eyes and saw Rias in front of him, wearing a dark red colored buttoned up t-shirt, the first and second buttons unopened revealing a portion of her cleavage, dark blue jeans that hugged her curves and ass nicely, and a pair of black shoes.
Rias noticed Vince looking a bit surprised and smiled seductively. She placed his arm around hers and smiled. "So, do you like what you see?"
"Yeah, I do-" The smile was soon taken away from her face when she saw him pointing to a store. "That store over there is having a sale on anime and manga."
A tickmark soon appeared on her face. Rias then pinched Vince's left cheek. "Were you even looking at me at all?"
Vince swatted away her hand and shrugged. "I did. You look pretty good Rias."
Rias blushed and smiled. "Thank you, it was hard choosing what to put on."
"Want to go look at the store first? We might get something nice." He offered.
"Sure, I want to check that place before the sale ends." She replied, as she started walking at a faster pace.
Vince nodded and started walking faster to. Unknown to the two of them, Akeno and Rena looked at them from behind a sign. Rena's eyes twitched while Akeno simply smiled, they followed the two inside the store.
While Vince was browsing around the store, Rias quickly went towards a shelf in the back of the store, looking through the rows of manga. Her eyes lit up after seeing a couple of mangas, she grabbed all of them and smiled. "I finally found all of it."
"You're done?" Vince asked, holding a few manga in his hands.
"Video-game adapation manga, Shoujo manga and Shonen manga. Really?" Rias asked holding back a small laugh.
"Yeah... I definitely don't want to be near you when you start reading those Josei manga. Not to mention there's the Hentai and the Seinen manga. Let me guess, you're only reading it for the plot, right?" Vince countered dryly.
A blush appeared on Rias' face as she slapped Vince on the chest. "S-Shut up..."
Vince smirked at her expression before walking away, Rias noticed and walked quickly to catch up to him. "Hey, wait up Vince!"
After paying their manga at the register the two walked out of the store. Vince then looked around the mall, causing Rias to raise an eyebrow. "Is something wrong Vince?"
"Just looking. Want to get a bite to eat next?" Vince asked gesturing towards the food court.
"Yeah, I'm a bit hungry." Rias admitted, grabbing a tight hold of Vince's arm.
"Hey... Rias."
"Yes?"
"It's a bit difficult to walk, so could you not be so close...?" Vince questioned with a slightly annoyed look.
"I don't want to." Rias said, holding is arm lovingly. "We hardly have any time to spend together alone. You're usually all alone or hanging out with Kasumi, Akari or Rena. I want to treasure these moments."
He sighed and shook his head. "You're a really hopeless romantic."
"That's a really rude thing to say." Rias remarked, puffing her cheeks.
"It's also really accurate." Vince replied with a shrug.
Rias pouted and swatted Vince's shoulder with her hand. He rolled his eyes but smiled a little, much to her surprise.
A few minutes later the two took a seat across from each other in the food court. In front of Rias was a burger and fries, with a soda. In front of Vince was a soda along with a couple of slices of mushroom pizza.
An awkward silence filled the atmosphere between the two as they started eating. Rias looked at Vince, while he looked the other way, sighing a bit. After they finished eating, Vince cleaned his hands with a napkin. Rias finished taking a sip of her soda and looked at him. "Vince, do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"Go for it."
"Why do you usually keep everything to yourself?" Rias asked, looking genuinely curious.
Vince lightly tapped his forehead with his finger, before shrugging. "I don't like other people to know about my business, unless it's necessary."
"I see. But what wouldn't it be better for other people to know?" She questioned raising an eyebrow.
"Not really. Most if not all people would slow me down." Vince replied bluntly.
Rias nodded in response, but looked a little sad. "Oh. May I ask you another question?"
"Yeah."
"Why didn't you show much of a reaction when you found about who's DNA you're carrying in your Sacred Gear?" She questioned.
"I honestly don't care about it. Why? Am I supposed to?" Vince asked raising an eyebrow.
Rias blinked at the question, not expecting it. "Well, of course! Lailah, the angel of night is a very powerful angel and having the DNA of a pure-blooded member of the Valefor clan is very important Vince."
"Meh. So is there anything I should know about the Valefor that's anything important?" He questioned, shaking his head a little.
Rias sighed at his lack of enthusiasm but nodded. "The Valefor clan were very powerful back then and were one of the few important ones. They would usually have something that should be considered lost. So if anyone lost something valuable, they would pretty much have it. The Valefor's were also one of the few powerful families that could match Agares or Bael."
"Agares and Bael... Aren't they those devil clans that are full of obnoxious pricks, with a lot of influence?" Vince questioned bluntly.
She shook his head at his blunt question but nodded. "Yes, they have a lot of influence in the Underworld and not everyone in those clans are like that Vince."
He waved his hand casually, not really caring. "I'll see it when I believe it."
"Vince, I have one more question. Do you plan on going to the Underworld after Summer Vacation starts?" Rias asked in a curious tone.
"Not really. I'd rather not go to hell." He replied jokingly.
She rolled her eyes. "Very funny Vince. I'm really being serious here, are you going to the Underworld?"
"I'm not going to that stupid meeting. Besides, I don't have any intention to get involved with that crap." Vince responded, looking mildly annoyed.
"Well, it's not just for that. Before the meeting starts, I was going to take everyone to the Gremory manor, and I want you to come along too." Rias replied.
"Eh. I'm probably not welcomed, I'm not even a Devil." Vince retorted.
"My family is not like that Vince." She answered sternly, "And you can turn into a devil either way, so what does it matter?"
"Tch. Well, I guess it's my turn then." Vince stated, gaining a questioning look from Rias.
"Time for what?"
"You asked me two questions and now it's my turn. It's only fair, right?" He questioned, with her nodding in agreement.
"Yes, you're right. So what is it that you want to ask me?" Rias asked, looking curious.
Vince nodded and paused for a moment before sighing, "Why exactly are you so hell bent on finding out more about me?"
Rias blinked, being caught off-guard by the question. "Well, it's because you're usually so quiet and secretive. I want to know more about you Vince, you're really cold hearted and distant on the outside but on the inside, I know you're a very kind person."
"...You're reading way too much into this." He replied sighing.
"I am not. Today when Azazel asked about Akeno's father you comforted her without anyone even saying anything at all. I could tell that meant a lot to her." Rias said, grabbing his hands.
"Anyway-" Vince started off, skipping the topic entirely. "Why do you always make a sphere with the Power of Destruction?"
"Eh?"
"You have the natural ability to practically destroy anything and all you do is just make a sphere and fling it around like some dodgeball. Why?" Vince asked shaking his head.
Rias' cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "Umm, well..."
"You could even make a shield made out of the Power of Destruction. Since it destroys anything that means in theory it can destroy any attack. You could even make a bomb or a beam that destroys nearly anything. Not to be rude, but why haven't you thought of that Rias?" He questioned, looking a bit perplexed.
Rias fidgeted with her fingers nervously as Vince looked at her. "I never actually thought of doing that myself. I always thought what I was doing would be good enough. It does seem like a good idea when you word in that way though."
He nodded and then gave her a slightly surprised look. "So you never thought of shaping the Power of Destruction, into anything other than a sphere?"
"No."
"Well, I'm sure with enough practice you'll be able to do a lot of things with the Power of Destruction." He commented with a shrug.
Rias nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Vince."
Vince gave a small nod and got up from his seat and held his hand out. "It's starting to get a little late, ready to head home?"
"Yeah." Rias said, taking his hand.
xXxXxXxXxX
The two stood in front of the door at Vince's house. Rias smiled and tenderly kissed him on the lips. "Thank you for the date. I had a lot of fun Vince."
Vince nodded with a small smile. "Sure thing. I don't mind doing that again, though I wonder how your mother or maybe Sirzechs would react to you buying all those types of mangas."
Rias paled slightly and pinched his cheek. "Don't even say that joking."
He swatted her hand away and shot her a mischievous smile. "And yet you're ok, with me knowing?"
"Well, I want you know more about me Vince." Rias replied with a smile.
"I think I need an adult... and a chasity belt too." Vince remarked jokingly.
A tickmark appeared on Rias before she smiled slyly and pressed her breasts against his chest. "A chasity belt won't help you Vince. I can easily destroy it, remember?"
To further show her point she created a crimson sphere on top of her palm. The sphere disappeared and she then smiled seductively. "I won't attack you, but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to hold off attacking me for long."
"Yeah, yeah." Vince patted her head and opened the door. To both his and Rias' dismay they saw Akeno and Rena listening in. "Akeno, Rena. What are you two doing here?"
Akeno giggled into her hand and smiled. "You two looked like you had fun today."
"Why are you even in my house, Rena? Better yet, why are you here Akeno?" He asked dryly.
"Ara, that's not a very nice thing to ask Vince-kun. We were just in the neighborhood." Akeno said innocently.
"So, I guess you two really had fun, huh? I haven't seen you this happy in a while Vince." Rena spoke with an unamused expression.
"I guess...?"
"Dinner is ready!" Kasumi called out as she walked into the living room with Akari.
"Oh Vince, you're back." Akari then teleported in front of Vince and embraced him, much to the ire of the others.
Vince patted Akari's back. "Were you training? You look exhausted."
"I was. I finally got down how to teleport from a small distance with Alpha's power. It's still a bit tiring though." Akari admitted with a sheepish smile.
Kasumi pulled Akari away from Vince and cleared her throat. "Dinner is ready, we should eat before the food gets cold."
"Point taken." Vince said as he sat down on a chair.
Akeno smiled and sat next to Vince. "I think I'll sit right here. It's much for comfortable."
Rena's eye twitched for a moment before she sat right beside him. "I'll sit here too."
Vince sweatdropped as he saw the jealous looks from everyone around the table. (Dammit. Why can't I enjoy a day of peace!?)
xXxXxXxXxX
An alarm clock suddenly sounded off. A fist coated in water punched right through the clock, it immediately broke into pieces upon contact and the parts scattered everywhere around the room.
Yawning loudly, Vince got up from his futon and blinked. He noticed the broken clock parts scattered across the floor and shook his head. "That's the second alarm clock this week. Oh well, better get ready for school."
Vince grabbed a couple of clothes and went to the bathroom, making sure to lock the door. "Say Yume. There's something I've been meaning to ask you."
[What is it Vince?] Yume asked in a slightly sleepy tone.
"Do you have an idea why Yasaka called yesterday acting like that?" He questioned raising an eyebrow.
Yume yawned a little bit, before speaking. [I think it's because Yasaka was a bit jealous. If I'm right then I believe she instinctively sees you as her mate.]
"Mate...?" Vince's eyes widened for a moment before he shook his head. "Then again we were intimate on multiple occasions..."
[Not to mention, you're very good with Kunou.] She added with a small smile.
"Oh..."
(Flashback)
A ringtone sounded off causing Vince to look at his cellphone, upon seeing who was calling he raised an eyebrow and picked it up. "Hey Yasaka, is something wrong?"
"Hello Vince. I just wanted to see how you were doing. You said you were going to call when the treaty finished." Yasaka stated with a small frown.
"Oh. I forgot about that, there was a big mess." He replied sighing a bit.
"What happened?" She asked in a concerned tone.
"Remember the organization that tried to kidnap Kunou and stole the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi?" Vince questioned.
"Yes I do."
"They tried to kill everyone important in the meeting by using one of Rias' peerage members, Gasper. Who has a Sacred Gear that can freeze time." He responded, yawning a little.
Yasaka's eyes widened at the news. "Oh my. Is everyone alright?"
"Yeah, no one died aside from the enemies. To be honest, I lost count of how many magicians I had to kill." Vince admitted shaking his head a little.
"Vince..."
He shrugged in response. "I'll be fine Yasaka. Just a word of warning though, be on guard if you see the Hakuryuukou. He's apart of that organization, the Khaos Brigade."
"The Hakuryuukou?!"
"Yeah, I had to fight with him Issei, the Sekiryuutei. We were able to damage him enough to make him retreat but that was just about it. Though, the Hakuryuukou did acknowledged me as his rival." He said shrugging.
Yasaka's eyes widened as she shook her head in disbelief. "You should be very careful from now on Vince. It's one thing to fight a dangerous opponent like the Hakuryuukou but for him to acknowledge you as his rival will mean that he will want to fight you again."
"I know. Thankfully, I have developed a strong resistance towards his halving abilities." Vince replied.
"You can resist having your power halved? How?" She asked sounding curious.
Vince sighed and then went into a thorough explanation about what happen during the fight and about the Dividing Gear, along with the Life Engine. "...And that's how I got the idea to do that. It was risky but it did pay off for me."
"That was risky Vince. The powers of the Sekiryuutei and the Hakuryuukou are complete opposites of each other. It's very dangerous to even think of harmonizing their powers. You should have been more careful Vince, your body is more delicate than compared to a devil." Yasaka chided in a worried tone. "...But I'm glad you're safe Vince."
"Yes, yes." Vince waved his hand casually, shrugging it off. "Anyway, after that I asked out Gabriel for coffee. But before that I have to take out Rias on a date first."
"Excuse me...?"
Vince blinked but shrugged. "I'm taking them out on a date."
"Just why exactly are you going on dates with other women?" Yasaka asked with a edge to her tone.
He frowned at her tone but shook his head. "And why exactly do you want to know, Yasaka?"
She stood silent for a few moments before sighing. "I apologize Vince, I have to go. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"I see, later." Vince clicked his cellphone and tossed it on his futon. "What's with her?"
(Flashback End)
"Fucking hell." Vince shook his head while Yume's eyes widened at the sudden outburst.
[Is something wrong?] She asked sounding concerned.
"I'm gonna have to have a talk with Yasaka when I get chance to clear everything else." He took his cellphone from his dresser and started texting. "...Though, I guess I should at least explain a few things to her in the meantime. By the way, Yume...?"
[Yes?]
"My Balance Breaker, Phantasma Drive and the Life Engine. Were they the result of what I think it is?" Vince questioned frowning a little.
Yume nodded in response. [Yeah. You really had an attachment to that game and because of that your Balance Breaker took the name and while the Life Engine took the form of it.]
He sighed and nodded. "And as of right now the Balance Breaker is still incomplete? No changes?"
[Yes, your Balance Breaker is still incomplete. There has been no changes since you've got it.] Yume confirmed with a small nod.
Vince gave a small nod to this and continued texting on his cellphone. (I definitely play too much video games. Which is kind of ironic to say now since I haven't played a single game in weeks because of all of this crap. ...I should finish my text to Yasaka first though.)
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince looked out from the roof of the school with Rena by his side who looked concerned. "Is something wrong Vince?"
"Just thinking about a few things." He commented, looking out the roof with a melancholic expression.
"Oh. Well, do you have everything packed? Our annual trip is going to start soon." Rena spoke with a smile.
"I already did. Where are we going this time, your house or Rossweisse's?" Vince asked sounding curious.
"My house. Rossweisse and I agreed on it, that and we can visit Chloe in the hospital." Rena added as an afterthought.
"I'll do more than visit Chloe. I'm going to get rid of the toxin and the curse, one way or another." He spoke frowning.
A frown then appeared on her face. "Vince. Do you even realize what you're saying? It's been two years since that happen neither my mother or my father could effectively eliminate it and trying to cure it now would be dangerous."
Vince sighed and rubbed his temples. "That's because back then neither one of us had the proper understanding, nor the resources to take care of it. If it was Chloe herself then it would have taken a week to a month at best, but that's besides the point."
"...Wait, is that why my father called me a few minutes ago and told me that he's almost ready to cure her?" Rena asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. At the moment both of your parents are going through every shred of information about Valper's colleague to make into a file, including the information about Chloe's current condition and the effects she's experiencing right now. After that's finished they'll send me the file I'll deliver it to Azazel and he can take it from there." Vince informed with a small shrug.
"Wait. Wasn't I told any of this?" Rena questioned, frowning a bit.
"Because I just called your parents and informed them an twenty minutes ago. I wanted to tell you during lunch." Vince answered, making her frown go away.
Rena lips curled up into a genuine smile. "I see. ...Thank you Vince."
Vince nodded and turned his head towards the other side of the roof, as a gentle breeze blew by. "Dealing with the curse and the toxin is very risky. I know your father and mother are close breaking it, but at the same time we can't take any risks. That's why I asked Azazel, to look over it with their permission. Your parents were honestly shocked that I was able to get Azazel to agree."
"Who wouldn't be? It's not everyday you get the leaders of the Fallen Angels to help with something like this." Rena commented, smiling.
"Yeah..."
"Vince. Do you still feel guilty about...?" Rena trailed off.
Vince winced a little and looked the other way. "Isn't it obvious Rena?"
"But that wasn't your fault Vince." She spoke shaking her head.
"...I should have seen it coming but I didn't." He said quietly.
Rena sighed sadly and embraced from him from behind. "You shouldn't blame yourself for this Vince. It wasn't your fault to begin with and I'm sure Chloe-nee would agree as well.
"..."
After a few moments of silence a group of students started to crowd up in the courtyard.
"What's with the crowd?" Vince asked as he saw a group of male students, huddled up in the courtyard, from above the roof.
"I'm not to sure. Maybe, it's someone important?" Rena suggested with a small shrug.
"Maybe..." His eyes darted around the area and not a moment later he saw a beautiful woman with curly blonde hair and voluptuous figure, wearing an angelic white robe that while moderate still didn't hide her womanly curves.
"That's unexpected. It's Gabriel, I wonder what she's doing here?" Vince wondered looking a bit confused.
Rena's eye twitched a bit before sighing. "I think she's here to see you Vince."
"Huh. It must because of the coffee." He replied shrugging.
Vince quickly left the roof and a few minutes later was outside of the courtyard. "Excuse me, coming through..."
"Move it!" A student said shoving him into the ground.
"To hell with this." He got up and tapped the student that shoved him on the shoulder. The student turned around and scowled, only for him to cry out in pain as Vince punched him on the right side of his ribcage. "Asshole."
Vince then started punching, kicking and backhanding every male student in his way. Each student getting sent back a few feet away from the force of the attack. Eventually, Vince got into the middle of the courtyard, with a large majority of the male students unconscious or groaning in pain.
He then noticed a male student charging at him from behind and moved to the side before extending his foot and tripping him in the process. The student fell face first into the ground without showing any mercy, Vince stepped on the student back and his head, making him scream in pain.
Gabriel noticed Vince walking towards her and smiled. "Good afternoon Vince. How are you doing?"
"I'm well. How about you?" He asked with a small smile.
"I'm doing well, but these children here..." She said gesturing towards the majority of the male students on the ground, groaning in pain.
"They'll be fine." Vince said waving a hand, not really caring.
"If you say so Vince..." Gabriel spoke, pulling him into a hug.
Despite blushing a little from having her large breasts smashed against his chest, Vince wrapped his arms around her and returned the hug. "You're never gonna stop hugging me, are you?"
"Why would I? It feels very nice to hug you Vince." She responded, tightening her embrace.
Vince nodded and awkwardly patted Gabriel's back. "Likewise."
"Hey, it's not fair!" The two turned around to see a couple of male students glaring at Vince.
"Yeah, you already have a lot of beautiful bishoujo's around you everyday!" Another male student spoke.
"Don't hog them all to yourself!" A third student exclaimed.
"Yeah, you better back away from her!" A four one said taking a step towards them.
Vince stopped hugging Gabriel and turned to four while rolling his eyes. "Really? Look, I don't have time to waste on you guys. I'm gonna give all of you five seconds to get the hell away from me. If you're still here after five seconds, I'm sending all of you to the nurse's office."
All four guys immediately paled and quickly ran away after seeing the destruction Vince caused.
"Was that really necessary Vince?" Gabriel asked, tilting her head slightly confused.
"It was. So why are you here Gabriel?" Vince questioned, frowning a little.
A smile appeared on her face. "I just got out of a conference a few minutes ago. I wanted to relax and have some coffee with you."
He nodded and extended his hand. "Alright. Well, are you ready to go?"
"Yes, I am Vince." Gabriel took his hand and the two walked out of the school.
xXxXxXxXxX
Upon into a café, the two turned towards the television, showing a young looking woman with brunet hair, wearing a business suit.
"And for tomorrow night I hope everyone is ready for a lunar eclipse. It will last for a few hours during the night. Visibility will be perfect over the night, if it's anything like last time we'll be having another Blood moon again." The woman said as a picture of a large blood red moon, showed up on the screen.
Vince grabbed his head with his hand and visibly winced. Gabriel noticed this and looked concerned. "Is everything alright Vince?"
"Y-Yeah. I'll be fine." Vince shook his head and placed his hands in his pockets. (W-What!? Damn... out of the frying pan, and into the fire...)
xXxXxXxXxX
