Master Trainer of the Demonic Forest

A red magic circle suddenly appeared in the middle of a forest. But it was not just any forest because the forest was inhabited by demon animals.

From the circle came out a group of people, more precisely the whole peerage of Rias with Kiyotaka inside. Asia had stayed at the club because she was not yet part of the group. Despite everything Rias thought to give her a pawn which she had kept after the transformation of Issei into the devil.

Kiyotaka looked around, what passed in his line of sight was forest as far as the eye could see but the look of the forest made it look like they were in a horror movie. The sky was made a pungent red color giving an eerie feeling added to that, the dead trees of this great and strange place and you probably won't sleep all night.

A smooth, soft hand clung to Kiyotaka's left arm as a female voice entered his ear: "This is the forest the forest where demonic animals are born and live" Akeno spoke for Kiyotaka and Issei.

"Where demonic animals were born?" Said Issei in a surprised tone, while Yuuto replied with a small smile "This is where we find our animals"

"Exactly there is normall-" Rias wanted to continue after Yuuto but was interrupted by a sudden voice coming straight in front of them.

"Well, it's me!" The voice of an unknown man echoed in the strange forest.

Kiyotaka lifted his head looking up, and he saw a person in extremely odd attire for his age.

The man in question looked lean but muscular, wearing a rather original outfit with a white tank top, a blue-purple cap upside down, his long red hair sticking out of the slit of it. Black mittens in his hands, a large yellow backpack hanging from his shoulders, and long red shorts with pockets on them. He really looked like a hunter but from another world in particular ...

"I am the master of the animals, my name is Zatouji" The strange man in front of them introduced himself with a smile on his face, his thumb pointing straight at him as if he had done something great.

'An animal master? He looks more like Rias 'grandfather ...' Was what Kiyotaka thought as he looked at the shady guy on a tree in trainer gear. As Zatouji continued talking, Kiyotaka turned around looking at Rias, he didn't know why but the two were familiar for hair reasons.

"He's a professional monster," Akeno said quickly to the two teenagers who didn't yet have their demon animals for them.

"Yes! Besides you're lucky, it turns out there are a lot of them tonight" Zatouji pointed out proudly as if it had something to do with him.

* Tssssh * * Tssssh *

The wind was blowing in the strange forest but no one except Kiyotaka heard a sound coming from that wind. As if the breath was not natural, reminiscent of a great breathing animal.

Kiyotaka wasn't necessarily paying attention for the moment, he wanted to see what Zatouji could bring in terms of a demonic animal.

"Ok, followed me we will find you a good companion" Zatouji left in a direction that the first to follow was Rias followed by Issei who had a dirty look on his face, then by Koneko who looked at the pervert with eyes fire, the penultimate being Akeno who followed quietly behind the group, Kiyotaka was the last to follow the march following them the hands in the pockets.

Arrived at the edge of a lake, Zatouji paused a moment before speaking "Here lives in the lake an undine, it is a spirit of the water" The old man looked at the lake but at the same time he looked at Issei with a look saying 'You don't know what to teach you, boy ...'

Kiyotaka looked at the lake before using some of his magic in it, shaking his head and looking at Issei with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, the yellow-eyed teenager turned his head away looking at a particular place. The boy looked at everyone before smiling and leaving the world carefree.

Strolling through the forest after getting far enough away from the others, Kiyotaka noticed different footprints in the ground. The earth had returned to a certain place by small steps, some scratches on the dead trees. But what caught Kiyotaka's attention were the footprints that were the size of a human foot, to be more precise an adult's foot.

Kiyotaka smiles, thinking "An adult other than Zatouji in a forest like this?" he followed the footsteps looking more and more intrigued by the strange noise coming from the depths of the demonic forest.

Throughout the journey Kiyotaka had not let his guard down, staying on the lookout all the time. He had also encountered strange demon animals ranging from a sort of red horned sheep that had the ability to jump very high in the tunes or even a strange and cute little dragon.

"Finally," Kiyotaka said aloud, he had finally arrived after about twenty minutes of walking at his destination. He looked in front of him, the footprints and the strange sound coming from the opposite. In front of Kiyotaka, there is an entrance leading to the interior of a cave, the cave didn't look weird but was rather dark not to say that was completely dark if you entered it.

* Tssh * * Tsssh *

There were still those breathing sounds coming from inside the cave. It was strong enough and castling, not something a normal human could do, no longer a devil but rather a large beast.

Kiyotaka swept the cave with his magic before smiling, but this time he activated the strengthening body spell and another spell covering his all body in a small layer of yellow light. In front of him, a blue-colored portal appeared as he raised his right hand and stuck out a silver wrist inside the portal. He put some magic inside Kengodai and suddenly a magnificent blade of fire appeared from the sword.

Finally ready, Kiyotaka raised his left hand from which a small flame appeared. Prepared, Kiyotaka entered the cave. The teenager's figure, evaporated into the dark after only a few seconds of walking since he had stepped inside.

Sinking into the dark cave, Kioytaka vanished from the outside world.
