Chapter 77 - Talking With Devils (Short Chapter)

{Yu's POV}

Once the giant explosion was released rather than going to the source of the explosion instead I observed the actions of the other factions in Kouh. While the Devils have "claimed" Kouh as their territory, in fact, it's only Kouh Highschool that they have as part of their territory. Everything else had a specific area where different factions had set up shop.

If there were any factions that wanted to interfere with Issei's test I would intercept them. If they were friendly I would ask them to leave, but if they were hostile I wouldn't mind wiping them out. I basically had the power to do that already, Kouh didn't have any Ultimate or Super rank beings which I honestly thought was disappointing.

The only reason I didn't outright claim Kouh as my territory was because a couple of days ago when I was on a date with Yasaka. She mentioned how I tend to resort to violence very easily whenever I'm negotiating with someone I either 1) didn't see as a possible ally, or 2) not a member of Haven. It was a habit I developed unconsciously over the years but after realizing I developed that habit did I know it was something I needed to change. I didn't want to be seen as a tyrant after all.

So after scanning the area, I was surprised to see that the devils were the only ones to make their way towards the explosion. Turning my attention to Esau who also noticed the group of devils I told him to leave it to me.

"Well I'm heading out," I said standing from my seat, "Do you want to come."

"Sure."

Wrapping my hand around Shirone's waist we both disappeared using spatial movement.

----

"What's up," I said surprising everyone due to my sudden entrance, "Shouldn't you guys be in school?"

"The same could be said for you Yu-Kun and Shirone," Sona said after realizing it was me.

To that, all I did was shrug my shoulders. I wasn't even in school eighty percent of the time anyway so what did it matter if I missed another day of school.

"So are you guys here to investigate the explosion," I asked with a smile, "If so I would kindly ask you guys to leave. My people are working on something and I don't want people interfering."

"Hey this is devil territory you can't just do whatever you want," said I male who I've never met before while he pointed his finger at me

"Who's he," asked Shirone before I could

"This is my newest [Pawn]," Sona said while Tsubasa pulled the male to the back of the crowd, "His name is Genshirou Saji."

"He seems to have a sacred gear on him," Shirone said

"Hey man, I'm straight!" He declared while backing away hugging himself.

"..."

*BANG!!!*

It didn't take a rocket scientist to understand what he means and when I heard it I was deeply insulted. Pulling out my favorite revolver I mercilessly shot him straight in the ċhėst. The bullets weren't dangerous just rubber bullets enchanted with enough electricity to stun an elephant. The bullet itself wouldn't kill him and instead sent him flying four meters back.

Thinking I punished Saji enough I used telekinesis to bring him back while Shirone used her senjutsu arts to mend any fractured bones he might have received.

"From I can tell he has potential if brought up correctly," I said ignoring Saji who was still mȯȧning in pain, "Other than the fact that he needs a little more training in some areas I'd say you got yourself a jackpot Sona."

"Ara ara," Akeno said, "I never knew you were such a sadist Yu-Kun."

"It's his fault for thinking I swing that way."

"You're the one that was looking at me weirdly," Saji complained as he adapted to the pain

"..."

To my first sentence, everyone couldn't help themselves from blushing a little, but when I continued talking after that Shirone started pinching my waist, Saji looked at me with an envious stare, and the rest of the girls' faces turned into tomatoes. The only one who was not that much affected was Kiba.

"TMI man," He said while scratching his cheek, "You could have just stayed quiet."

"Maybe but I needed to make a point," I said shrugging my shoulders, "So you guys going to leave or what? Sure you say that the town is in your territory but in fact, it's only the high school that's your territory. If you want to claim it for yourself you'll have to first kick out any other factions that have taken root here, but I'll say this first if you do I'll be your enemy and none of us want that, do we?"

At the end of my last sentence, I released a bit of killing intent which intimidated Sona's pawns and bishop but other than that the rest seemed okay. A little pale-faced but okay, after all in a meeting between leaders it wouldn't be uncommon for one party to try and intimidate the other. In the end, we just stood there waiting for the other side to move until both Rias and Sona sighed in defeat.

"Fine, we'll go."

"But can you at least tell us what's going on?"

"It's just a simple field test to gain some combat experience nothing major," I said preparing to leave

*BOOM!!!!!!!*

"Issei your killing me here," I complained in my mind before looking back at the group, "It's fine"

"Yu," Shirone tugged at my sleeve to get my attention, "It isn't good to lie to yourself."

Deciding to see what the problem was this time I expanded my domain and slowly began to understand the situation. Currently, in the location, I was looking at there was a red armored person flying in the sky. Dragon wings could be seen sprouting from his back while a peculiar aura could be felt around him. It was the aura of pure rage. Scattered on the ground below him were many vampire fledglings, some had complete bodies while the others were beyond repair.

"Woosh~*

Receiving a message from Esau telling me what was the cause of this sudden development, while I didn't agree with his method of motivating him completely I had to admit it, it's effective.

"Looks like things just became interesting."
