"One of the thirteen known Longinus in the world, is the Boosted Gear. It can double the power of its possessor every ten seconds, or transfer this enhanced power to other weapons or people."
"Rumor has it that it can enhance power to the point of being able to defeat Maous and Gods," Rias explained.
"That's amazing!"
Even Issei was somewhat dumbfounded by his own sacred gear.
His consciousness was stuck on how yesterday he was almost murdered by his brother, who was more demonic than a devil, and how his sacred gear changed at the crucial moment.
When he woke up in the morning, all the injuries on his body had disappeared, as if everything that happened last night was just a fleeting dream, provided there wasn't such a vivid and painful memory.
When he came to school in the morning, he subconsciously avoided Yasuhiro, for fear of running into him.
"President, where is Kiba?"
Issei was so excited about the boosted gear that he just realized someone was absent from the ORC.
Rias, who was sitting on the sofa eating snacks, suddenly turned pale.
She thought of last night, when she was humiliated and furious. She unconsciously gritted her teeth, and even the joy she felt at knowing that her servant was the Red Dragon Emperor had largely faded.
Even looking at Issei's face, which looked 80% similar to Yasuhiro's, she couldn't help but feel resentment welling up inside her.
Issei was intimidated by Rias's gaze, wondering if he had done something wrong recently, offended the President, or said something inappropriate.
"Kiba just got a lecture from your brother yesterday, and everyone else, including the President, got a good lecture too."
Akeno deliberately emphasized the last word, and sure enough, Rias's expression hardened even more, causing Issei, who was unaware of the truth, to take a few steps back to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
After all, this was something his brother caused, and there was no reason for him to take the blame.
"Yesterday..."
Unable to suppress his curiosity, he cautiously tried to ask.
To his astonishment, Rias was so angry.
This was the first time he had ever seen her so furious, especially since she seemed to be deliberately targeting him.
His last remaining memory was the moment when the Boosted Gear fully awakened, after that, he knew nothing.
Of course, he also didn't know that his brother had defeated ORC and insulted their master Rias.
Calling that a defeat was an exaggeration.
Yasuhiro only defeated Yuuto and Koneko.
There was also Akeno and Rias.
However, everyone present yesterday knew perfectly well that if Yasuhiro really wanted to make a move, none of them would be able to escape.
"Yesterday, your brother was more powerful than anyone expected, but..."
"Shut up, Akeno. Let yesterday's matter rest. Don't bring it up again."
Before Akeno could finish speaking, she was coldly interrupted by Rias.
"Rias looks angry... hehehe..."
Akeno blinked playfully.
Issei even had an urge to run out the door.
The room was too cold and filled with the smell of resentment and Rias was on the verge of exploding.
...
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the student council office was no better than that in ORC.
All members of the student council were present.
The President Sona Sitri, the vice president Tsubaki Shinra and the other members all wore serious expressions and were on high alert.
And the object that made them so wary was, of course, Yasuhiro.
"Sona, I have been law abiding at school and haven't done anything wrong, so there's no need to be so hostile."
Yasuhiro certainly knew why the entire student council was so nervous.
"Someone really showed off their prowess yesterday. What we didn't expect was that you are not only a holy knight of the church, but also a holy sword wielder," Sona said while adjusting her glasses.
Yesterday, when she received the news from Rias, she was greatly shocked.
Holy knight and holy sword wielder are two different concepts. To ordinary devils, there might not be much difference between the two, they are both warriors of the opposing Church.
However, devil nobles understood the very difference between them. Simply put, the root of a holy knight is protection, while the root of a holy sword wielder is annihilation.
Because the holy sword wielder wields the holy sword, a weapon of immense destructive power against Devils.
They were known as...
The Church's executioner.
Many people who know the details refer to them as holy sword wielders.
That was a miscalculation.
This was her thought after receiving the news, otherwise, she wouldn't have so easily allowed Yasuhiro into the school.
Similarly, there was also the issue of lacking intelligence. If it were any other time, they would know as soon as a holy sword wielder left the church's headquarters.
They would never be in this current situation, where the enemy had infiltrated their territory and they still didn't know.
If the other party hadn't deliberately revealed his identity yesterday, they probably wouldn't know how long they'd have been kept in the dark.
She now had some doubts about whether the actions of that madman in the Church, whom they terrifiedly called The Saint Who Embraces Darkness, in Europe were the result of deliberate indulgence by the Church, with the aim of destroying the devil and fallen angel spies in europe.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
Yasuhiro said with amusement, "Sona, I think I already explained my intentions to you yesterday."
Sona's eyes sharpened as she said, "Do you think I would still naively believe your words from yesterday? Even within the church, there are at most seven Holy sword wielders, and that doesn't even include the lost swords."
"In other words, no matter how high Holy Maiden Asia's status is, she is still just a Holy Maiden, not someone you should condescend to protect."
"Good reasoning." Yasuhiro clapped his hands and said, "And then?"
Sona was speechless.
Yes, even if they knew the other party had ulterior motives, what could they do? Capture him or expel him? It seemed that with their strength at Kuoh Academy, even with Rias's help, it probably wouldn't be enough.
According to Rias's description, the opponent has Ultimate class strength and wielded a holy sword.
Even if he were driven out, there might be sacrifices they did not want to see.
"Don't be so arrogant. Don't forget this is our territory."
Seeing the President's setback, Genshirou Saji spoke frankly.
The other members also glared at him angrily.
If the President hadn't warned them against making any rash moves in the first place, they would have already pounced on this arrogant guy and taught him a lesson.
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss, that was undeniable.
These servants, with only the strength of Low class, knew far too little about the world.
Among them, excluding Tsubaki, who was the first member of Sona's peerage and came from the Shinra Clan, one of the Five Principal Clans, who knew far more than the others.
They were well aware of the strength of the Church's holy sword wielders.
Often, it's the monsters like Yasuhiro who are the most troublesome.
This was also what Sona was worried about, the opponent was way beyond their league.
"Don't you know that arrogance is synonymous with the strong, while people who say things like you usually represent the weak?"
This sounded unpleasant, but if they put themselves in their shoes, it was true.
To be arrogant in the territory of a rival faction, one was either a madman asking for death or a powerful individual with nothing to fear.
"How dare you underestimate our student council, Black Dragon's Pulse!"
Enraged, Saji ignored Sona's advice and summoned his sacred gear, preparing to teach the other party a lesson.
"A sacred gear that houses the soul of the Prison Dragon King, Vritra?" Yasuhiro glanced indifferently at Saji's sacred gear, "This is not your qualification to stand before me, nor is it something you can rely on to challenge me."
Yasuhiro, who had always been gentle and sunny, suddenly exuded a cold and arrogant murderous intent that swept over them head on.
WHAT!
All the members, including Sona, were stunned by this terrifying intent.
How many devils would someone have to hunt down to accumulate such terrifying aura?
Saji who was bearing the brunt of the aura intent head on, was trembling all over.
He felt that his will will be torn apart at any moment.
Yesterday, Rias attacked him, and he could let it go because there was a reason for it.
However, that didn't mean that just any low class devil could provoke him.
Saji was still struggling to hold on, he refused to give up, especially in front of this person.
However, this wasn't something he could endure simply by wanting to. Just as he was about to collapse and faint, several magic circles appeared around him, filled with demonic power that was about to be unleashed.
"Are you going to make a move?"
Yasuhiro glanced indifferently at Sona.
"Yasuhiro, on behalf of my peerage, I apologize. We had no intention of provoking you."
"President..."
Just as Saji, was about to say something, he was stopped by a look from Sona.
"I don't want this to happen again, and your peerage should also understand that people die in this world."
Yasuhiro suppressed his overwhelming aura and then left the Council.
With the sudden release of pressure, Saji couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.
"Sigh!"
Sona sighed. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
Neither the other party's strength nor his arrogance was something she had anticipated.
"President, we..."
"I can't believe it," Tsubaki trembled.
Even she, who had followed Sona the longest, couldn't help but feel scared when faced with such a person, let alone the others.
That murderous intent was terrifying.
Even the most terrifying battlefield killers and gods of death in ancient history probably couldn't match the sheer magnitude and purity of this opponent's aura.
"You may all leave now."
"Yes, President."
Several members helped Saji out, and finally, Tsubaki also left, leaving only Sona alone in the entire council office.
