"It's rather weird."

"Huh?" I looked at Aika with confusion.

"Last night I was practicing actual magic that turned dead flesh into monsters that I can command. And this morning I am going to school like everything is normal. It's feels kinda weird." She explained and when she put it like that, it was kinda weird.

"Just roll with it." I said as we entered the class.

Once more, just like every other day, the classes were boring as shit. The teacher looked like he was one step away from falling down in sleep and some students had even stopped pretending to care. I actually felt kinda cheated because I knew for a fact this school was supposed to be prestigious and all the other classes were normal.

The only interesting thing was the looks Aika was sending at Katase's and Murayama's heads. On an unrelated note, I was starting to think that learning magic might be slowly corrupting Aika. Not that I was complaining.

But I am guessing the bitch duo might in the future. If Aika allows them to.

In the other news, class was boring. How fortunate that I would be meeting Rias and the rest of the ORC group soon.

"You think it would work?" I asked Rias after explaining the method Paul had came up with for us to help her with her engagement.

"It... might. I have little to no doubt that Riser is dumb enough fall for it but if he has his sister with him, it would be a fifty fifty. Ravel is smart, it is my theory that Riser left his brain in his mother's womb and Ravel took it with her when she was born." Rias shrugged as she insulted her fiancee with no hesitation.

"I... think you are a bit biased on this." Aika said with some hesitation. Telling the ORC that she knew about the supernatural and that she was learning magic under me had been fun. Telling Sona would likely be less fun.

"And I think I am allowed to. Speaking of thinking, have you thought about my offer to join my peerage?"

"You asked me that five minutes ago."

"Plenty time to think." The redheaded heiress said with a giddy smile and stars in her eyes at the thought of getting a new peerage member, much to her peerage's amusement.

"Come now Rias, it isn't good manners trying to steal my student from me." I said as I put my hand on Aika's head who puffed up her chest like a peacock.

"Hmmm. Ok, I'll let it go. For now." She muttered the last part but I believe that everyone in the building with the exception of a certain sealed dhampire heard her.

"But as I said, your plan should work and I am grateful for it. Was there anything else you want to talk about?" She asked and I waited until she brought her cup of tea to her mouth, and when she started to take a sip…

"Azazel visited last night."

"PFFFFFFTHHH!" And a perfect spit take!

"What?!" She jumped from her chair while her peerage just looked at me like I was some sort of bizarre alien.

"He visited yesterday." I repeated.

"That damn crow was in my territory?!"

"Technically you share it with Sona."

"How dare he do that!" She continued to yell and I decided to just let her vent her stress for a while.

After she finally finished screaming threats that she could never act on against a being as powerful as Azazel, I continued.

"Anyway, he thanked me for not killing the quartet of idiots who attacked me and wanted me to house a nun, I also asked for a bigger house for it so they are probably building that right now." I explained with a shrug, I knew that Azazel being in their territory was kind of a big deal since Azazel himself was a big deal but you would think they would react a bit more calmly.

"To Cyrus' house, now!" Rias declared with her finger in the air.

The workers of Grigori were pretty damn fast huh.

My former modest one story house was no longer in its place and neither were the buildings of my neighbors. In their place was one very big mansion that looked like it had at least four floors without counting anything like a basement.

"Hey, descendant of Samson, how do you like your new house? Also damn you work fast kid, bringing girls to your house at the moment the house is ready!" Azazel said with a laugh as he masterfully ignored the glares he was getting from the devils.

"Oh by the way, this is your new roommate, Asia Argento. She is a former nun and doesn't know anything about how the world works so do take care of her." He said cheerily as he pushed a blonde and a very cute girl who was trying to make herself look as small as possible.

"G-Good day, I am Asia. Thank you for allowing me to stay in your house." She said with a slight amount of Italian accent in her voice before she gave a traditional Japanese ninety degrees bow.

Seeing the adorable nun, Rias' glare was replaced with a look of curiosity as she looked at Asia.

"Pleasure." I said as I offered my hand for a shake and Asia took it with some reluctance.

"Hey Azazel, can we speak in private for sec?"

"That would be another sec I am away from paperwork so yeah, yeah we can talk." Azazel said with a smile, something that neither Rias or Akeno seemed to be happy about.

"Cyrus, I do not think that's such a good idea."

"I must agree with Akeno." The duo of devil ladies tried to change my mind.

"Don't worry, both of you. It's just some talk and Azazel won't pull any shady shit now. He would wait for at least a week from our last meeting before pulling some shady shit."

"I'll have you know that I pull shady shit against people I am friendly with after at least two weeks of not seeing them." The fallen angel with blonde bangs said with a smile.

"You guys just check out the house and Rias, don't try to recruit Asia to your peerage." I said before leaving with Rias pouting and Asia looking confused.

After getting enough distance between ourselves and the girls, and Kiba, Azazel turned to me with a smile.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

"How much do you know about Vritra class Sacred Gears?"
