Chapter : 5

Rias Gremory P.O.V

The pile of paperwork was taunting me on my desk, I can't believe the amount of reports that I need to file these days.

The increased rates of stray devils in Kuoh these days are concerning for me and Sona.

It's like all the maddened strays chose one week for all of them to show up in the city.

In the last week alone, we stumbled on 8 cases of stray devils from the low-class, one was already dead when we found it, which was suspicious.

That's why the higher ups gave us the orders to open an investigation, finding the reason for the strays activity.

Personally, I am interested in the case of the dead stray, there was no one of my peerage nor Sona's that killed the devil, and there is no contractor that claimed that kill.

The main factor for death was the impalement of the heart with a steel beam.

Due to the fact there was no struggle on the body, who ever did it is strong enough to just kill it fast, that will also require an investigation after the stray one.

'I can't have some unknown intruder appear in Kuoh without permission', getting ready to go to a meeting with Sona about our next plan, I already dispatched Kiba, Koneko and Akeno to keep an eye for anything.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A week has passed since the fateful night where I was almost murdered.

A week has passed, and I did not like the progress made in said week.

For project magic, nothing has happened yet my attempts in sensing mana were all failures, no progress at all.

I tried sensing mana all the time in class, and even at home.

I know that the fact that magic was a hard subject for humans to understand, but to not even manage sensing the main source of it with all the time I poured into it, well that just hurts.

Maybe talent for it was not something I possessed.

For project body, that was going as well you can expect it from one week of training, cramps and strains were a daily occurrence these days, but I will persevere in my pursuit for abs.

The most progress weirdly enough was in project sacred gear, after the taking the vow of patience I worked hard at getting used to the gear.

Exploring its various application, from the creation of wing to other body parts.

Speaking about wings, I can fly now, well not freely, but it's a start, almost landed on my head first time trying to do so, because after gaining some height in the sky I realized that landing was not a skill in my repertoire.

At the current moment, I can go almost 2 meters off the ground while still maintaining control of my trajectory.

After an attempt on creating a surveillance system, I also learned that when I make an ear or an eye using the gear, it does not transmit the information to me directly.

Which in turn made me discover the power of nerves, because the ears and eyes are not connected to my nervous system, that's makes any information not reach my brain.

So to solve this issue, I created nerves by precisely vanishing limbs to leave nerves connected to me and the sensory organ.

This worked to enhance my senses, but was dangerous at the same time.

It made me get easily overwhelmed by a loud voice, sensory overload was not a joke.

Anyhow, now following my routine, I was walking home from school, memories of my first encounter with a devil resurface, thoughts of will I live if I ever meet the same devil again.

The answer is probably no, but I could run away or stall till one of Rias peerage come.

This time I would have some options, unlike the last.

What I did not know at the time was that I will have a chance to prove myself otherwise.
