"Buchou, what happened? Why are we changing our destination?"

I don't understand what's going on, Buchou told us the stray would be in an abandoned house, but when we got there she said it went off somewhere else and told us to follow her

"I have no idea, we better get ready for the worst"

Buchou seems really worried, actually, everyone seems nervous

Akeno breaks the silence

"We are getting close"

Rias looks at me

"Ise, get ready!"

"Right! Boosted Gear!"

[BOOST!]

But then Akeno-san suddenly stops

"WAIT!"

"What?"

I ask puzzled

"Buchou, Koneko, can you sense it?"

"... Yes, such an intense bloodlust"

Koneko looks terrified, her cat ears are down and she's trembling

"Such a strong killing intent..."

Buchou says it with a nervous expression

Buchou seems scared

"Everyone be careful... there's something else in there, an horrible energy, something..."

Her eyes wide in shock

"Something I've felt before! Koneko, Kiba, you noticed it too?"

They nod

"It's the energy again..."

Koneko answers her

The energy? Really

"Buchou is this it? Is that the presence you told us about?"

She nods

"Yes, we'll finnally see who is the responsible"

"R-right now?"

I gulp down, even though most of us just heard about it now, we are already going to face whoever was able to infiltrate our school.

We run towards the presence

And as we get closer I start to feel it

A huge aura, an enormous and strange energy, what is causing this? This is not normal!

Buchou was right, this is different from anything we ever felt, it's powerful and mysterious at the same time

We reach the location where the aura is coming from, everything is destroyed, walls, cars, windows

And the monstrous bodies of the stray demons are horribly mutilated, someone got here before us.

"W-what happened in here?"

Rossweisse says preparing her magic circles

"Careful!"

Koneko jumps in front of me as a stray demon charges at us

But before he can reach us...

He pops just like a ballon and disapears

From behind him a human figure emerges...

?

Someone completely covered in a black robe with a mask that resembles a crow's skull stands in front of us

"W-what?"

What is that?

The creature then points his finger in the air and everything around us starts to move!

The broken walls, the shattered glass, the craters on the ground even the vehicles who were torn to pieces are completely rebuild!

It's like nothing happened here at all!

"Such power!"

Xenovia says it nervously

Buchou confidently points her finger at the figure and asks him in an angered tone

"You! Who are you and why are you interfering in the Gremory territory? We know you have been wandering in our school, now tell us your reason!"

The figure tilts it's head sideways, can it even understand words?

"Buchou, it's a h-human..."

Koneko chan says it while lowering her ears. Human? No way! Is he a sacred gear possessor too?

"Are you sure Koneko?"

Koneko nods, everyone seems to be on the edge around the figure

"Y-yes but..."

Before Koneko can finish her sentence, the figure disappears and reappears in front us in an instant!

What an incredible speed!

He lifts his hand

BOOOM!

!

Without giving us time to react, an incredible flow of energy hits us and me and Koneko are sent flying!

What was that? I didn't even see it, but it's like I got hit by a truck!

We fly for several seconds before hitting something solid

"KUAHHH!"

Even thought it hurts like hell, I'm glad Koneko was standing in front of me, that way she hitted my chest instead of the wall.

But the impact was so hard that Koneko's body sinks on mine, the wall behind me and her weight makes it feel like my inner organs are being crushed!

"Aghhh!"

"Issei-senpai, are you ok?"

Koneko helps me getting up, but it's no good, the attack was hard and I wasn't wearing my armour, there's blood coming from my mouth

"I'll be fine, thank you"

"...Issei-senpai, sorry for landing on you, I couldn't..."

"Don't worry about it, we couldn't control it"

From where we stand we can still hear the sounds coming from the battle, this thing is terrifying, he's being able to hold Buchou and the entire club all by himself?

"Koneko-chan, when we were approaching here, you seemed really scared, what did you sensed from that figure?"

Koneko is shaking

"...A really powerful energy, something I never sensed before, it wasn't malice from dark arts, nor raw power like your Sekyruuitei, it's abnormal..."

So that's what we are dealing with?

"...But most of all, what scared me the most was..."

"Huh?"

There's more? Koneko-chan started shaking, what did she felt that was so horrible?

"He was human... he wasn't a demon, angel, fallen angel, youkai or anything, no matter how I looked at him, that scary... man is just human"

Is that what's scaring her so much? Shouldn't she be glad that he wasn't a monster or anything?

"I-I never saw a human like that, not even the exorcists... I'm scared Issei-san, I don't know what he's capable of"

So that's it, she's scared because she doesn't know what to do, hell, even I am scared! But I can't let my kouhai get sad like that!

"Koneko-chan, I don't know what that thing is either and, to be honest, I am really scared too. My brain can't wrap around things like that, but human or not, we gotta help Buchou and the others. Don't worry, no matter what happens I'll protect you, I wouldn't be a good senpai if I couldn't at least help my cute kouhai right?"

Koneko-chan looks up again, somehow she seems happier

"Thank you Issei-senpai"

I offer my hand and she holds it

"If you need my courage I'll offer it to you anytime, right now we gotta go back to the battlefied!"

"Y-Yes!"

We charge back towards the center of the fight

For what Koneko-chan just told me, I can't hold back against this guy

Let's go, Ddraig!
