Chapter 75 - Drago officially becomes part of Sacred Gear

(AN: Semi-FIller & simply a summary of events for the past few weeks)

Several weeks went by Masaru and the girls carried on going to school, the everyday school life was the same as usual while Masaru made use of the perverts as experimental subjects for his latest prank devices which are actually very dangerous items that were diluted down to the point that even a child can handle the punch it gives. The chess game score between Masaru and Sona has become 160 - 161 meaning that Masaru is still keeping their scores in Sona's favour since the two of them simply enjoy playing their chess against one another with no strings attached.

The number of fans for Akeno and the girls kept increasing yet the number of love letters decreases, it appears after the first term the boys knew that the girls of the Disciplinary Committee was something they can yearn for but never be able to touch since the last one who was bold to try and touch the innocent Ingvild is currently still in hospital because of a mistake, yes a mistake made by Ingvild who was so tense that day for the test they were about to write so when the boy came and touch her shoulder the last thing he saw was the roof.

Rias and her team appear to show great growth ever since the vacation was over, Masaru even had taken a few days to visit to play chess with Rias and he was happy to see this girl finally found a road she can walk without needing to hope for someone to save her. It's a shame since Masaru never realized that he just changed the difficulty mode of the girls for Issei to close to impossible but not impossible yet since there is still a golden finger that was working in the background that even the spellbook can't detect.

(AN: This is NOT me, this is the plot armour of Issei... However, every plot armour has an origin so I will expose the one who gave Issei his plot armour in the future, for example, my MC Plot armour is the spellbook that attracts competent allies)

Even during the few weeks, the movements of the witch in the greater malling did not show anything, it was as if they have given up on their plans to open the gate but then again this is only from the outside perspective. Masaru still kept his guard up but luckily there has been no call for any support so it could be said it was finally a bit peaceful.

As for Ulrika? She had been quite busy, the construction was going to take longer than planned since the upgrade in technology by Ajuka's team and Elizabeth's team they had to redraw the plans to accommodate them. As for the spreading of their network, it was going smoothly since some families were already completely infiltrated and some of the bigger ones they were only able to get a few men at the bottom level. The biggest problem would be the Bael Family since they had a strict order of positions so in order to reach a sufficient level of control over the information they had to kidnap a higher level slowly one at a time and release them which is a really long process. As for the people of Japan? Since they were mostly humans and only some bigger families had devils next to them, it went faster than both Masaru and Ulrika planned which is good.

Currently, it was the night before the school sports festival, Masaru was currently sitting cross legs on Tokyo Skytree, one of the tallest building in Tokyo while having his sacred gear equipped. This was also his daily training to get used to his heightened senses, ever since he experienced that increase in his senses he could not easily equip the sacred gear because of the sensitivity in his hearing which he was not entirely used to. He first started in less populated places listening to the surroundings and slowly began moving to the more populated ones, the louder it became the longer it took for him to get used to controlling his senses.

"To think there can be so many things happening in this city" Masaru spoke as if he was a Daredevil listening to people's secrets, but he had no interest in playing hero as while he was learning to control his senses he was taking Worthless to the next level. From his understanding of this power has grown to the point he began to believe that the Lucifer old man he once read about who was rumoured to have a sacred gear canceller was simply a degraded version of Worthless that can't be trained since it was an ability that can't be controlled that easily. However Worthless can grow along with the user and the applications was quite versatile like how he managed to shut down Sakura's sacred gear for an instant just to test something, what he did that day was simply "nullify" the energy connection deeming it "Worthless", with the energy which came from Sakura being cut off temporary from the sacred gear she could not call it out at all.

(AN: This is just speculation about Rizevhim Lucifer's power which the MC made!!!)

"I always wondered... If Worthless is truly a nullifying ability like everyone claimed... The only restriction on this ability is that it requires me to understand the things I am deeming worthless..." Masaru spoke while covering his hand with a transparent aura which was the worthless demonic energy he was testing to see if he could manipulate it into a bullet form and shoot it at his targets... "Then again I should be glad I did not grow a tail with my sacred gear" Masaru unconsciously looked behind him to make sure there wasn't a moving tail behind him, the fun fact was that Masaru learnt he could train his control faster close to perfection when he was in his sacred gear mode but then again he did not want to become over-reliant on it in case he faces that grandpa.

[Boy are you serious about what you said?!] Masaru nodded while he took the sword that was placed next to him, he gripped the hilt with his right hand, he was focusing on his sacred gear who felt reluctant to allow this sword into it's socket but soon the sword itself began to transform into liquid metal [GOD I'm dying!!!!] soon the entire sword was absorbed like water sponge into the glove but Masaru could still sense Deadheart his sword and Drago the spirit of the sword. [OH!!! This place sure is nice] Masaru tilt his head, [I am sharing a room with the little cub, he looks so cute- IYAA!!! Injustice! Why the hell did you scratch me!?]

Masaru ignored the commotion going on in the sacred gear but instead called out his claws to see if he could coat the claws with dragon and beast slaying properties which to his surprise succeeded, the next best thing was the fact he could control where the claws come out from around the sacred gear meaning it could become like a hedgehog, think about shaking hands and stick em with a needle. 'If I can use my spellbook to coat the needles with poison and I can easily poison someone while shaking hands'

But before Masaru could continue having his thoughts and playing around with his abilities a magic circle materialized next to his ear "M-Ma-kun?" The voice of the slightly shy Ingvild could be heard, it had been three days since they had their date and Masaru performed the kissing prayer after getting a determined answer from Ingvild. Well, most long live species are already in the mindset since we live for ten thousand what is different making it longer? "Yes Vildi-chan" Masaru spoke with a smile on his face, tonight was an opensky and the moon could be seen and the dim stars here and there.

"You have received a summons..." Hearing this Masaru was surprised, he knows the requirement for a client to summon the king of the peerage is not something that can be scoffed at. It meant the trading between the client and "ruler" of the territory will most likely be a big trade that could possibly even lead to trading of souls. Although the current devils avoid this kind of trade mostly, this shows how big of a dėsɨrė the client has...

"I will be there now" Masaru stood up recalling his sacred gear, he felt better this way he could carry his sword with him everywhere instead of leaving it in the house. Taking one last look at the active city of Tokyo Masaru teleported back to the Disciplinary Committee office where the girls were all wondering why this summon occurred, Masaru smiled wryly as this was something never explained because he never expected to happen with him but he still explained it to the girls. "Ingvild, you will be in charge while I am gone. Be sure to make that everyone's schedule does not collide with tomorrow" Masaru muttered before walking in the large teleportation formation they set up for visiting clients.

The place Masaru arrived inside was a rented apartment with rented furniture, sitting in front of him was a man he already knew of since Ulrika's team that infiltrated the devil community had information about this man, Azazel, He is a tall man appearing to be in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and black goatee. "You seem quite calm despite facing someone who is suppose to be your enemy" Azazel spoke, he was already using several magic circles to scan Masaru's body especially that spellbook which he was curious about. Masaru naturally already sensed and scanned each of the magic circles to know what each of them was for but the main reason for his calmness was "Because my mother would already be here to trash you the moment she does not sense me since I can already tell the barriers here isolate people from being detected outside... Not to mention I have a few tricks to aid me in getting away"

"hoh oh? I see that spellbook really makes me curious although I am unfortunately not here for that" Azazel spoke with a real regretful face as he finally met the boy he wanted to meet especially that spellbook in his body which is really something he just wants to experiment and research about. "I take it you gained permission from Sirzech and my parents to approach me secretly for something?" Azazel smirked, "Correct, Although I want to ask you about the spellbook I am more in dire need to sample your blood"

"You wish to make copies of my sacred gear?" Masaru pulled back as that would be the most logical thinking to have, Longinus level sacred gears can be made artificially if there is a base to act for it. Azazel thought that this boy was interesting, his knowledge about sacred gear especially artificial sacred gears should be solid. "Unfortunately no, as you may know, the Devils are using the Evil Pieces to recoup their losses from the last war and the Angels I guess their searching for something similar... As for us Fallen Angels, we have no dėsɨrė to increase our populations since we simply can wait for angels to fall and we will welcome them... However"

Masaru went over to take his seat on the couch, Azazel continues "Just like Devils we have old crows that are too into purebloods that some of our fallen angel hybrid children are being discriminated against, so I made a deal with Sirzech if I can get some of your blood for us to research how that experiment you went through managed to change you from a hybrid to a pureblood we could at least do something for the hybrids and make them pureblood if they wish for it, this will naturally include the devils as well"

"What will I get out of it?" In that instant Masaru spoke with Drago, 'Will they are able to copy the spellbook?' [No, not even your sacred gear can be copied... That book is really a soncon*cough* protective over your so even if they take your blood they will not be able to trace the book or sacred gear, it will be purified blood as if you never had a book or sacred gear] Masaru felt relieved, Azazel then answered, "I can give you research data about sacred gears I have but on the premise you will keep it to yourself"

'Since I got nothing to lose and I am simply getting information for a bit of blood will not be too bad of a deal' Masaru nodded, "Very well" Azazel sighed with relief then he looked at the boy, "My friend has been asking me to inquire how his wife and daughter is, ever since he knew they were saved he had been more lively like it was in the past... I can only thank you for that" Masaru smiled feeling a bit proud he did the right thing, "Well they're doing fine and your welcome... However I think you need to start looking into your own place, that mixed-race army is quite talented in hiding"

"You mean the Khaos Brigade?" Masaru who head the name of the army nodded, "Yes, we have been weeding them out but the number of them is simply more than expected, I am certain that the Heaven and Fallen Angels are sure to have traitors as well" Azazel laughed, "I already knew of them, I am only waiting for them to show themselves instead, it's hard to make moves without evidence after all... Like Kokkabiel" Hearing this Masaru knew Barakiel told Azazel about it, "However, what would it cost you to give me information about that book of yours?"

Masaru laughed, "Would you believe me if I were to say it's simply a grimoire loaded with millions of spells and techniques, and only acts as a medium especially when I cast light-based spells?" Azazel nodded while what was going on his in head during that time no one knew about, "I can believe you, because otherwise you would have been reluctant to answer that question" What Masaru said was the truth yet he did not reveal everything, 'Even if he knows the book has spells recorded on it or it acts as a medium... There is not much he could come up with unless he surprises me' Masaru thought as he chatted with Azazel while the two of them started playing video games together as it was his original request as Masaru's first client.

When it was time to go Masaru stood up, "I want to ask, if you have any contacts that infiltrated Khaos Brigade. I want you to check with them how I can join the group" Azazel looked at Masaru sternly, "Why would you want to join them?" Masaru smirked, "I want to steal all their information, research data and everything they worked on because when they are destroyed is there a guarantee we can have all that information?" Azazel who heard this nodded his head thinking it was reasonable, "I will see if I can arrange that for you but are you sure?"

"Sometimes the most dangerous place is the safest... Besides if we want to survive we will need to know everything we can about our enemies and I am the best choice since there are many devils who hate me I can act like I am not satisfied with the devils to treat me" Azazel laughed out loud, "Bwahaha, your really interesting to the point I want to examine you and see how your head works" Masary simply smile before saying his goodbyes teleporting away.

Azazel became suddenly stern, 'If he infiltrates the Khaos Brigade it will be risky but the rewards will be just as good... I will check with that guy if he can slip him in' Azazel starts thinking about who to contact while also at the same time he contemplates about the answer Masaru gave him, a book with spells recorded and acts like a medium gave me a lot of ideas to work with. a Researcher should never be underestimated. "Ah Barakiel, yeah your wife and daughter are doing great! Yeah Yeah, I will try to make some plans for peace talks but those bloody old coots are still against it so be patient!" Azazel could only laugh at his friend who called him through magic.

Masaru naturally did not tell the girls what happened since the knowledge of him meeting Azazel is a bit too sėnsɨtɨvė so if anyone wrong picks it up it will naturally become a big problem even his family will not be able to protect him against so he kept it to himself. The rest of the night was the same as always with the girls becoming more and more popular with their clients, so it could be said they were accumulating achievements nicely.

The night went by and the morning came, since it was the sports festival Masaru naturally was wearing his gym clothes with was a white shirt, blue short pants and blue running shoes. After making sure his shoes were tied perfect he came to the sports field he could see his mother and sister were among the many parents shouting and cheering for their children, "Can all those for the long jump please gather at the designated area!" Masaru could hear his event was up so he lightly jogged towards the small crowd of 2nd-year seniors who were facing off against each other, "Ah! The demon King has shown up!" "Damn... I wanted to show off"

Masaru naturally did not care about the complaints around him as he started to stretch his legs while he was waiting for them to start, the instructor with a board which a long list of names were written on a paper attached came calling the first student, "Ringo!" a Boy called Apple took his place and when the indication was given he ran and ran and ran... then jumped and landed in the pit of sands. Masaru clapped when he heard the instructed said "1.5 meters", but everyone thought he was being sarcastic so the boy went back and tried again.

This time the boy was calming his breathing rhythm while staring at the pit in front of him, he moves forward and backward as if to accumulate a pushing force before he broke out in a sprint once more, the white line in front of him was getting closer and closer till finally he stepped hard on it with his right foot jumping in the skies while spreading his arms backwards and when he felt he was coming down he pushed his arms and legs forward landing in the pit, lucky for him his feet touched the ground first before his buŧŧ. "2.3 meters!"

Thus the long jump carried on till it was Masaru's turn, the current highest score was 2.9 meters so Masaru was considering just how far he could break it within common sense of humans however what he did not realize was the fact he was against amateurs because the pro was registered in a different event that is taking place as well. So Masaru took his place breathing steadily, he could somehow feel every inch of his body, when the indication was given Masaru sprinted slightly faster than the boy who he saw in the 100 meter run, stepping on the whiteboard he leapt into the air but he realized he probably stepped too hard as he was quite high in the air so he silently cast wind magic to push him down landing perfectly at 4.29 meters.

The instructor and the schoolboys felt their jaw drop on the ground, they did not question the fact Masaru was originally supposed to land in the 5 meters but he pushed it back with magic otherwise a student that between the two long jump pits would have had his head smashed by Masaru's foot. "Are we up against a professional athlete!?" "Just how talented is this Demon King!?" Discussion over Masaru's long jump broke out in a fever but the man in the topic was not bothered at all because he was currently looking for the next event.

"You got the shots?" Julia asked Diana who disappeared to take photo's of Masaru's long shot event, She flashed a thumb up "Every angle" the parent who heard this wondered if these two beautiful women were mental patients because how can one take an every angle photo from this distance!?

Meanwhile, fierce competition in the girls 100 meters broke out between Sona, Rias and Jeanne. As her king's order Jeanne made sure to give it her all in a human common sense way. "Ready! Get Set! Go!" Rias and Sona sprinted towards the goal but they were too focused they did not realized their real opponent till she overtook them, "That's cheating!" Rias screamed, Sona sensed Jeanne but noticed this is pure physical ability while still being restricted which shocked her. But these two stubborn heiresses looked around them before they internally boosted their physical abilities but still came out short when Jeanne was the one to win. "That was cheating Jeanne!" Rias pouted, "I did not use Demonic energy like you two" Jeanne muttered causing the two girls to blush, they both thought 'We don't train to become gorillas like you'

Masaru already completed his events looking at the girls running, it was at this time he could understand why the boys were all fighting for front row seats. But the moment some of his girls started running he silently released some transparent mists made out of the same components as Vicks vaporub causing the guys to cry their eyes out. "I can't stop crying!!" "My eyes!!" "It burns!" Hearing these comments naturally grossed out the girls while Masaru was laughing his buŧŧ off at this scene, the boys who noticed nothing was wrong with him realized he was the culprit.

"The demon king has attacked us!" "Despicable! You ruined our reputation!" Masaru looked at them with a smile "As if you guys had a reputation to begin with!" Masaru vanished after he went between some students causing the boys who were searching for him to come empty handed, but Masaru was currently taking his seat next to Diana. "You already finished with your events?" Masaru nodded, "Yes mom" Diana smiled feeling happy whenever Masaru calls her mom, "I wanted to ask you but when you met him last night he did not make it difficult for you did he?" Masaru shook his head, "He didn't, in fact, he is quite helpful so it will be fine" Diana said nothing else other than giving Masaru a hug before returning her attention to the rest of her daughter in-laws taking part in their events.

Seeing Ichika was wearing casual clothes at occasions like this was also quite nice, she was teamed up together with Akeno, Everest and Yui for the sprint rally. Their opponents were several other teams which even included the boys, some of the girls who were teamed up with the boys who were staring at the four girls could only sigh in defeat as these fools would probably give up. But they did not, the gun fired and the first group took off running while some of the guys, in fact, they pushed their limits beyond their limits trying to win against the girls while they pass on the baton and the second group took off, Akeno who was in the second group felt a bit disgusted at the sight of the boys who looked at her with such ŀustful eyes she swiftly cast a little water spell to cause the boys to slip face first into the hard ground and the water vaporized, the casualty rate of the boys were large but the girls all came out unscathed like a miracle.

It was unfortunate that none of Masaru's peerage took part in any jumping events which was grave news to the fellow fan clubs who were hoping for some fan service only to be left out dry...
