17 chapter 17

3° person P.O.V.

"So, now we will start our battle report." Luvia said in a serious tone, she even put glasses on her face as she usually does whenever she is reading or admonishing someone. "First, Kiba. Why did you run ahead of your teammate ignoring the orders given to you before?"

"I saw her being attacked by her dog and as a knight I must help the weak."

"Stupidity. She was your enemy at the time, if she falls by friendly fire all the better." Her face clouded and she continued. "And why did you went out in the middle of the clearing made by your enemy?"

"I needed to regroup with Rias to see if she was fine."

"And did you forgot that she was far away and most likely safe?"

"I-I-"

"Did not think, and showed a lack of professionalism. I hope your teacher can help you in that regard," she then turned to the side and called someone fourth "Arthur, he will be your student on this next period of time, but if there is a need you will be recalled to do your duty as a Judgment official. Make it a point to show him the difference between being a knight and being a fool."

"Yes, my lady." Arthur said with a polite bow and trying hard not to show the sweat drop on his back, knowing that he can be called anytime to fight normally was something he looked forward to but when it is Luvia that is calling the story is quite different. He then unceremoniously took Kiba out of the room to start training.

"Next will be Akeno." Luvia said, Akeno hearing her name being called straightened her back a bit more. "You seem to have ample amount of magic reserves but your control of said magic is terrible. You spend two times the amount for half the effect, also your decision of ignoring the enemies in front of you turning your back to them in favor of attacking another enemy that was distant shows that you also lack experience. NEVER turn your back to an enemy. And, if you have to, you must be absolutely sure of your surroundings so as to not suffer a sneak attack." Luvia then turned to the side and called the trainers. "Yuzuru, Kaguya you two must help her in how to control her powers better."

"Acceptance. Yes, Luvia-sama."

"I agree to your request, lady of the infernal jewels."

"*sigh* You two should really start talking like normal people." Luvia said tiredly.

Tilting their heads both said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Confusion. I do not understand the meaning of this statement?"

"*sigh* Whatever, just go already."

And so, while looking a mix of amused and confused by what just happened, Akeno was dragged by the twins.

"Next is you Koneko." Luvia said turning the page of her notes, yes she did take notes of all that happened. "For the most part, you seem fine for a devil." Koneko seemed to relax a bit if her shoulders relaxing a small bit was anything to go by. "And for a devil only." And Koneko's tension returned with guts. "You limited your Yokai abilities too much. You depended on your nose to detect your surroundings but ignored training your feral instincts and your natural capacity on senjutsu. If you had accepted and trained as you should from the start you would not have been taken down that easily."

Koneko was surprised and could not help but ask

"H-how did you know of that side of me?"

"Simple really, your sister told us all about you." Koneko's eyes widened after she heard this. "It was actually easier if she did NOT talk so much about you. Honestly, whenever she is drunk, which is more often than not, she starts talking all about you over and over again. *sigh*"

"Impossible, my sister abandoned me. She is a fugitive, she is a stray, she is-"

"One of the teachers back in the Tower, responsible for the youjutsu department." And with that Koneko shut up, she was obviously quite shaken by this new information. Ignoring this Luvia called someone. "Bikou, you are the one to train Koneko. Make sure of training her in how to actually fight as a Yokai."

"Leave it to me." And then turning to the little white haired girl he said with a smile. "You are just as cute as my girl said you were."

Tilting her head Koneko asked. "Your 'girl'?"

"Yes, my girlfriend Kuroka." And, faster than Koneko could thing of running away from him and all things related to her sister, Bikou cached her by the nape of the neck and took her away.

"Next is Gasper."

"H-hay!"

"You seem to have problems with your sacred gear, if not you could have simply stopped those missiles. Also, you have an obvious lack of battle experience and poor decision-making skills, which combined with your cowardice makes you more of a liability than an actual battle force." Luvai said seriously while looking at the small trap. "It all boils down to your difficulty to accept yourself and your emotions."

Gasper could only look at the floor hearing this.

"Your trainer will be specially selected to you… when is that girl coming anyway? I will cut her salary if she is not here in thirty seconds."

And them a new voice suddenly said.

"So I arrived thirty seconds early." And with that, a blond girl entered the room. She has her hair done in twin tales getting till her ass, she is also wearing a simple dark neck choker, opera gloves, and a cape-like gown held together by two strings around her neck that mostly cover her chest (even if it fails on its objective enough to make Issei drown all over her). She is also wearing a black mini short with a brown belt and black semi-transparent stockings.

The moment she entered the room Issei started salivating a lot and lose blood due to a bloody nose… on the way it was going, he could die of dehydration if he was not a devil.

"So this is the little guy you wanted me to teach, huh, Luvia." And the lack of honorifics was felt as Luvia's expression darkened considerably. "Well fine. But I do want the info you manage to obtain in his blood latter."

She then turned to Gasper that was cowering and said with a slight smile.

"Come on little one, Onee-san will take care of you." And while taking him out no one noticed the wicked smile on Liesellot Sherlock, a descendant of the Magus clan know by investigating all they found interesting and a girl that loves to tease others so much that she is avoided like a plague most of the time… for good reasons according to Bikou and his undies.

"Now Issei," with that the perverted teen turned to the blond woman that he was salivating over for the last few minutes, especially when she moved and her breasts bounced. "You seem to have a terrible body. No resistance, reflexes or strength to speak of. You will focus on it and also in connecting to your sacred gear. Luckily you also have s specially selected trainer for you."

Remembering that last especially selected trainer and how sexy the girl was he could not help but imagine all sorts of girls training him with A LOT of physical contacts. His nose started bleeding all over again just by imagining it.

"Um! Deux! Trois! Un! Deux! Kuraa!"

"Seems like he arrived just in time as well." Luvia said with a smile. Despite all awkwardness, this man still is a 'man among men'.

"~This world is made ~up of men and woman! ~However, Okama are both men and ~women! That is why~ it is the best! It is the best! Okama way! It is the greatest! It is the best! ~Okama way! Okama way! Okama WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY~~~~! Mchu"

And with that song, a man entered the room. He was… bizarre in a visual way. He was fairly tall and muscular, but not overly so and with a black short hair.

He used thick makeup with green shades on his eyes, a circle of blush on his cheeks and a small heart made of lipstick on his mouth. He is also, for some reason, wearing a dark-blue shirt with two light-blue swans on each side; a medieval style dark-blue buffonic style short that ends above his knees; he also was with pink ballet shoes and wearing a bright pink overcoat with two swans coming from his shoulders with their wings open, three white pon-pons on the end of the coat and in the back, written in bold black letters is the phrase 'Oh come my WAY!' on his back.

He then started spinning on one foot while the other is up in the air with his hands. And in this strange posture, he talks.

"It is not a joke! So, who is it that is the red dragon emperor."

Suddenly, his nails shinned a bit and he turned to Issei. Seeing this Okama up close Issei did not know what to do, strangely enough, his sacred gear reacted and started sending him a message over and over again 'RUN AWAY NOW!".

"Don't worry, dragon-boooy. I will train you well, after all, it is not just a request from the Tower after all." And with that Issei was taken away from there, being carried on like a sack of potatoes.

"W-who was that?" Rias asked.

"That man's name is Bentham, but he prefers to go by Bon Clay. He is the king of Momoiro Island, the sacred land of the Okama's." Luvia explained.

"And is he strong enough to teach dear Issei?" Rias could not help but ask. It was a fact that Okama's usually were not that strong.

*laughter across the room from all except Rias*

"What, was my question that strange?" Rias asked with a bit of anger in her voice.

"No, it is just that for an heiress of an aristocratic family you are lacking way too much in your information. You don't even know of the powers that are not part of the three factions you are part of." Recomposing herself Luvia explained. "I apologize for my lack of composure just now. And, to answer your question the Okamas from Momoiro Island are all strong. They only number in about 16 thousand but they are mostly on the mid to high ultimate-class." Rias' chock was evident by how her eyes opened and her mouth stayed open in pure disbelief. "Bon Clay is the king of the said island, that is one of our most trusted allies for quite some time now, and his powers are around high super-class being extremely close to Leader-class. And the most important part is that he houses a sacred gear with a spirit feared by most, if not ALL, beings that are old enough." And giving a condescending look to the heiress she finished. "So, yes he is capable enough to help 'dear Issei'."

Taking a sip of her tea so as to relieve her dry throat Luvia decided to continue.

"Now for you Rias, I can only say that you are a disappointment. You lack grace on the battlefield. Your strategies are terrible and you obviously are too unbalanced for your own good. You have a lot of pure magic capacity, easily more than Castiel, and in pure magic amount, you are in mid to high high-class. The problem is that you lack the necessary control and technique to use said powers, your reflexes are lacking and you put too much trust in raw energy. Any enemy that surpasses you in power, or is fast enough or attack from a long distance well enough can take you down. In the way I see it, you may have arguably high high-level power but in actual combat, you only match a high mid-level at most." Luvia then smiled at her "But do not worry, I will help you personally in this, as I will be the one teaching you." And with an even bigger smile, she said: "Now be a dear and go outside, I have some business to treat with Castiel and the girls."

And with a confused and downcast state of mind Rias got out of the room.

Castiel P.O.V

"What is it you need to inform us, Luvia-sama?" I hope it is not much, I really, really do. I have a date later with Yuno and I fear that, if I don't go, she will go on a killing spree… it should sound much harder to happen than it actually is.

"I must ask; why did you decide to give her a chance for a comeback by appearing in front of her by the end? It would be much simpler to just stay in the back after you finished all the enemies and overwhelm her with numbers." Is she testing me? The answer should be clear to both of us.

"It is simple; this may have been a simulation of a battlefield, but it still just a simulation. My objective was pressuring her and see how she would react under pressure. First, by eliminating her teammates fast before she could react I'd see how she would react and if she can keep her composure. She could have stayed in the base, reinforcing her defenses, or surrender right then and there. Those were the best options in her case, but she clung to her pride and took the fight to me, an action that made her in a bad position. After that by eliminating her last peerage member and taking away her last ace, that ANYONE that does his research would know, I appeared in front of her to see if she would try to flee from conflict or if she would face me. In the end, she just gave up under the pressure of being the last one. A leader must keep a cool head at all times during the battle and do his best, search for all possible ways to survive and win, he must inspire his followers and not simply depend on them.

If a king is to fall he must go taking his enemies with him in a glorious fire and not give up unless it is to save those under him." Taking a breath, I concluded. "I wanted to see if she is a true leader or not. Right now she is not."

Luvia simply looked at me for a moment and after some time smiled.

"Ho ho ho. That was a wonderful answer, as expected of the heir of the Tower." She even gave a short applause to my answer. "Now for the orders for all of you." Luvia then turned serious again. "First, Yuno and Kuroko, you both will remain here to teach them scouting and teleportation. And yes, it will start tomorrow as I know Castiel has some plans for you both later today." Yuno and Kuroko smiled at that. They seem to be really looking forward to our time together. Seryu looks downcast as I did not program any date for us. "Castiel you will be going in an escort mission for the daughter of Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, also known as Mikoto-chan. It is an important mission as we are allied forces and this can help get both sides closer together. For the team of this mission, it will be you, Seryu" and in the back Seryu was giving a high-five with Koro while giving a mocking smile to Kuroko and Yuno as she would spend quite some time with me on HER definition of a date (she sees hunting strays and going in missions together as dates) ", Okuyasu, as he does need some actual experience in live combat, and as the last member it will be-"

"Could it be Emily? I did promise her to take her on my next mission after all." I suggested.

"Sure, why not. I was going to send some of the sisters, but I suppose Emily works as well. I will still send a Sisters just as a precaution." She then closed the meeting. "Your missions start tomorrow, enjoy your time now. Dispensed." And with that, she left the room… I could swear that I could hear in the distance a voice of a pervert trying to run from an Okama, it was strangely soothing.

Omake

A date with Yuno

"So, Yuno-chan. Where do you want to go on this date?" We were walking on the streets of Tokyo as it was relatively close to the mountains we were before. It was a nice spot we were now, a small café with a nice vibe going for it. We just had a cappuccino and some biscuits to match. The date would go until nightfall as after I had to go watch a movie with Kuroko.

"Hum… oh, I know! Follow me." And taking my arm and barely remembering to pay the bill of the café we left the place.

Yuno has always been an active girl that had her way every time. I still remember the day when we were young that Emily gave me choco for valentine day and Yuno ate them all and started hunting Emily across the whole tower with a knife. The adults all laughed at it saying the kids were having fun but Emily locked herself in her room for a whole weak after that… I never received a choco from her on valentine since.

After accompanying her for a while, holding hands of course, we finally arrived on the next spot on our date… it was a love hotel.

"Let's go Cas-kun. I want to give you a special gift." No, I will not go in there no matter what.

"Y-Yuno-chan, you know we can't do that until we are married, right?" Please, anything but that.

"Oh, you are being such a prude. I just want to show you my love for you." She started pouting at me. The destructive power is over 9000. "Why do you still refuse me?"

"It is not so much as me rejecting you, is more like I want to survive." I really meant it. I still remember when Caster and Souichiru explained to me that we are only to do that AFTER we are properly married, or else they will execute me and even torture my soul for all of eternity.

Normally it may seem like an overstatement but when they show you the torture devices for my execution and the eternal fire made to put a soul under eternal torture you, you really see the importance of marriage for a happy life (or, in my case, to remain alive). Yuno pouting can have a destructive power of over 9000 but her parents scare me on Jiren level (I am a fan of Dragon Ball Super as well as all other versions of it). "Can you chose somewhere else, please my darling?"

Hearing me calling her darling made her start fidgeting and blush. She is the type that is full offense but no defense after all.

"If you reaaaally want me to, fine. But remember, I will be your first," and her tone goes dark just as her eyes lose all life "understood, Cas-kun?" Did I say that I fear her almost as much as her parents whenever she gets like this, because I do fear her at this sort of times.

"Of course. It was a promise from when we were younger after all." More like a geass really. She forced me to sign it when I was just 7 and didn't really understood what I was doing, to be exact the contract said 'in exchange of giving Yuno your virginity you receive a pack of pudding ultra-deluxe edition'… I was, and am, a sucker for pudding.

Yuno gave a satisfied nod and took me to the next spot she chose for the date… a lingerie shop. She is really trying to get me killed.

Kuroko's movie session

"Onii-sama, I decided to watch a movie." Kuroko said after sitting on my lap. She was wearing a skirt and was starting to grind on me.

HEAD CHOP

"Ouch, why did you do that Onii-sama?" She said with traces of tears in her eyes.

"Because you were acting like a pervert, again." I said in full seriousness.

"Fine, fine no more of that let's just watch the movie." Kuroko said with a dejected voice dropping her head.

I could not resist and gave her a pat on the head and a small kiss on the cheek. Her face brightened very fast. She was always honest and direct to a fault if she wants something she will go for it, if she wants to say something she will say it directly. I blame Lancer for her bluntness. And thank him as well as this characteristic of her is a big part of what makes her who she is.

.

.

.

In the end, the movie was quite good. It was a movie called 'Lego: Batman', a movie that truly surprised me, much better than the other option she made me watch last time, 'fifty shades of gray' or, as I would call, 'sex contract, a SM storry of a willing slave'. I can't understand how ANYONE can like this movie, but hey everyone is entailed on liking what they do... except Twilight. Sparkling vampires man, SPARKLING.

On the middle of the movie Kuroko curled up in a ball on my chest and started sleeping, she likes to do that as I make her feel safe. I just stood there after the movie ended, so as to not wake her up, and dozed off myself as well. This turned out to be a good day.
