chapter 6 [edited]

In the corridors of the Central chapel of the Vatican a young woman was walking to the Vatican Council room.

This young woman is a 17 year old girl she has blue eyes and long purple hair in a bluish tone, she also wears a pair of simple blue earrings on her ears, she is dressed like a nun.

As she walked down the long corridor she saw a young boy resting on the wall, the young boy had blond hair and green eyes and wore priest's clothes, the young boy noticed the girl and then greeted her.

"Good afternoon Martha, we haven't seen each other in a while." the young boy greeted the girl named Martha in a carefree way.

"Good afternoon Dulio, it's good to see - it again." Martha greeted the young boy named Dulio in a Cortez and polite way.

The two continued to walk in the corridor while talking about other matters.

"Hey Martha did you hear the latest news? it seems that the civil war of vampires in Romania has intensified a lot and is close to reaching ordinary citizens in Romania and because of that the church will send some exorcists there." dulio said trying to start conversation.

"I understand." Martha gave a simple answer as if she didn't care about the information about the vampires.

"So Martha, the reason I'm telling you this is because among the exorcists being sent, one of them is an acquaintance of ours." Dulio spoke to Martha.

"Who is the exorcist?" Martha asked a little curiosity demonstrated.

Dulio stopped walking while scratching his cheek, avoiding looking into Martha's eyes until he decided to respond.

"You know... Who was sent was... It was Ciel." Dulio spoke while putting his hands to cover his ears knowing what was to come.

After 1 second of silence, what came next was something that no one would expect from a nun.

"BUT WHAT DOES YOU FIND TO TALK? WHO WAS THE MERDINHA THAT ALLOWED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN? LET'S GO ANSWER LOGO." Martha, who spoke a few seconds ago in a compound and polite way, was now shouting bad words in a furious voice, luckily the part of the corridor where the two are currently in this desert so no one heard Martha's shouting, with the exception of a nun who continues to approach the two regardless of Martha's loud voice.

"Martha how many times have I told you not to use that kind of language. You are a nun must behave as such. "The nun spoke.

When Martha and Dulio heard the familiar voice they turned and saw a woman who appeared to be around 25, she was wearing nun clothes just like Martha and was staring at them with a gentle smile but her eyes were not smiling at the same time in her emitting strong pressure on towards the two young men in front of him, when they realized this both Martha and Dulio swallowed dry.

"Great Sister Griselda were you also called by the Council?" Dulio asked the nun named Griselda.

"Yes, the Council called me saying that it was important it seems that I will be very busy from now on, so Martha today we will not be able to talk about her actions from now on, we'll talk about that later." Griselda spoke.

Martha took a sigh but was a little discouraged to learn that she will receive her sermon later.

The three continued to walk in the corridor towards the Council room, as they walked they continued to talk.

"Is Sister Griselda really true that Ciel will be sent to Romania? what does the Council have in mind that crazy girl over there? they want to start a total war against vampires while we have our hands full on so many other issues." Martha put her hand on her forehead while she spoke.

"Martha I understand that you are concerned about Ciel's safety, after all the three of you grew up in the same orphanage but you also cannot forget that the three received training from me, so I'm sure Ciel will be fine." Griselda spoke showing total confidence in her students' skills.

"It's like the great sister Griselda says, Ciel is tough in the fall she won't die easily, so you should believe her more after all, you never beat her in training." spoke returning to his carefree form.

"Well, as they say bad flow doesn't break so easily, so let's forget about it for now." Martha spoke.

Dulio and Griselda sigh when they heard Martha's words but they know that she cares a lot about Ciel, even when the two always fight when they meet, they care a lot about each other.

After a few minutes of walking they finally arrived in the Vatican Council room.

"Special level exorcist Griselda Quarto, exorcist at level 1 Dulio Gesualdo and exorcist at level 2 Martha Lorenz have just arrived and are asking for permission to enter the Vatican Council room." Griselda announced her identities and asked for permission to enter.

"Permission granted." an elderly voice answered them at the same time that the gates of the room opened, Griselda, Martha and Dulio entered.

When they entered they saw the interior of the room, the room was circular on its walls, there were several paintings that symbolized the religion of the church.

Inside the room there were more than 60 chairs, but only 36 chairs are occupied. Those sitting in this room are the archbishops and some cardinals of the church.

most members of the Council were elderly people with white hair who wore clothes from archbishops of the church, but among all of them there are two people who stand out from this crowd.

The first person is a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, unlike everyone in the room he is not wearing religious clothes, he is wearing a noble outfit, he has a stoic and compound expression while showing a sense of elegance, this man is Uther Pendragon the head of the Pendragon family.

The Pendragon family has produced skilled carriers of sacred swords over the generations fighting alongside the church. the Pendragon family also has Caliburn's most powerful sacred sword today.

Uther Pendragon used to be the bearer of the caliburn but a few months ago he transferred possession of the caliburn to his son Arthur Pendragon.

The other person who stood out in the room was a huge elderly man with very large muscles he also had white hair like the other archbishops in the room but his clothes were a little different of the archbishops after all he was a cardinal of the church whose authority was second only to the pope of the church this man is Vasco Strada.

Vasco Strada is the strongest human in the church, after all during the cold war he cornered and beat Kokabiel and even now at an advanced age he shows no signs of weakness, he is also extremely popular in the church with the admiration and respect of many exorcists.

Martha, Dulio and Griselda gave a slight reverence to the members of the Council at the same time they noticed the strange tension that is in the room. The expressions of the members of the Council showed that many were unhappy about something.

"Good that you arrived, sorry for the flame - you suddenly but we have orders for you three." Vasco spoke with the smile of a good old man.

"Don't worry Cardinal Vasco the three of us serve the church so we are always here to act for the church and for God." Griselda spoke while Martha and Dulio agreed.

"Well there are three reasons why you have, first Dulio you will need to take a trip to the United States the devils are becoming very active there and we have already confirmed 2 devils in the final class there, so your orders are for you to go there and resolve the situation. "Cardinal Vasco spoke with a tired expression.

*sigh * "Just when I thought I would receive a break turns out to be the same situation as always, * sigh * I will go there immediately, Cardinal Vasco." Dulio spoke discouraged.

"Dulio after you finish your mission in America you will have 1 month off so don't get discouraged." Vasco spoke trying to motivate Dulio.

"Now Griselda is about you..." Vasco spoke by changing the subject for Griselda.

"Yes." Griselda replied.

"Griselda how is the training of those two girls you are training?" Vasco asked Griselda.

"About Irina and Xenovia? the training is wonderful those two are very skilled and I believe that they will soon be able to become exorcists of level 3 soon." Griselda spoke.

"It's good to hear that, Griselda, we want to recommend you a girl to be your apprentice." Vasco spoke.

Griselda frowned upon hearing this, Griselda is a special-level exorcist and is also ranked among the 5 strongest women in the church, therefore the number of people who can learn from it is quite limited.

And right now the Council is recommending someone to learn from her, that person can be anything but common.

"What makes this girl so capable for even the Council to recommend this girl as my apprentice?" Griselda asked with curiosity.

"Her name is Kallen Kaslana she is a young 16-year-old nun and she is the bearer of the Oath of Judah." Vasco spoke revealing an amazing fact.

"THAT?" Griselda, Dulio and Martha exclaimed in surprise.

The Oath of Judah is one of the 15 Sacred Gear of Longinus level, its best known form is a 150cm golden cross but it can change its size according to the carrier's will, its ability is magical interference, being able to create a field of magical interference that can extend for several kilometers, within the interference field no type of magic can be activated that does not include only the devils but all factions in the world, this longinus is also called the magicians' nightmare because it makes any magician powerless without his magic.

"Understood I will train - la to dominate your Longinus." Griselda spoke regaining her calm.

"Okay, now Martha you will be sent to Japan for a delicate and somewhat problematic mission." Vasco spoke with a complicated expression.

"Problematic?" Martha asked already having a bad feeling about this mission.

"So Martha do you remember the Asia Argento incident? Vasco asked with a slightly sad face.

"If I'm not mistaken Asia Argento is the bearer of the rare Sacred Gear Healing of Twilight, because she healed many people she was called the holy maiden, but three months ago she healed a devil's wounds and because of that she was labeled a heretic and was hunted by the church, and then two months ago she completely disappeared from the church search." Martha answered the question.

"Yes, it really is * I sigh * but we haven't lost sight of it." with a slightly sad expression.

"Didn't they lose sight of her? as well?" Martha asked curiously.

Usually when someone is marked as a heretic, that person dies or that person escapes to another faction like Grigori or the devils. but Asia Argento being the bearer of the Sacred Gear Healing of Twilight that is capable of curing wounds of humans and supernatural beings would not go unnoticed in the supernatural world when one has the high demand from users of healing arts.

So far there has been no news about Asia Argento so Martha thought the little girl had died, but she was surprised to learn that the little girl is alive.

"Martha, Dulio and Griselda what you are going to hear should not be passed on to anyone understood?" Vasco spoke seriously.

Martha, Dulio and Griselda nodded, noting the seriousness of the information they will hear next.

"Two months ago Asia Argento was rescued by Clarisse Aizawa and has since been under his protection." Vasco told Martha, Dulio and Griselda that they were surprised by this information.

"Martha your mission is to go to Japan and negotiate with Clarisse Aizawa to get your help." spoke to Martha.

"Negotiate with Clarisse Aizawa? but why do we need her help?" Martha asked.

"Martha do you know about the Children of the miracle?" Vasco asked Martha.

"Yes, I know about them Cardinal Vasco." Martha spoke.

Miracle children are the name to refer to those who are half angels. The chances of a child being born from the Union of a human and an angel are almost zero, so they are called Children of the Miracle.

"Great that already saves me from explaining, there is a Child of the Miracle here in the church." Vasco spoke and surprised the three.

"Is that true Cardinal Vasco? why was the existence of such a person kept secret from the church?" Martha asked shocked.

"Why we hid that girl's existence until now was at the request of her father who feared for her safety if her existence were known, but a week ago the residence where she lived was attacked by unknown people, although guards assigned to protect the girl managed to stop the mysterious attackers, she was still poisoned by the intruders." Vasco spoke while shaking hands hard.

"I understand the seriousness of the Cardinal Vasco situation, but how does that relate to Clarisse Aizawa?" Martha asked with a serious expression.

"When Clarisse Aizawa rescued Asia Argento we decided to watch - them from afar, during this surveillance we discovered the presence of someone unexpected." Vasco spoke.

"someone unexpected?" Martha asked.

"Yes, during surveillance we discovered the presence of a fox of 9 tails in the city where Clarisse lives, at first we were surprised that a supernatural being could roam freely in the city of Clarisse Aizawa, but after investigating that fox we found out that she was Tamamo - no - Mother a relative of Yasaka the leader of the youkai faction." Vasco spoke.

"Clarisse Aizawa and the youkai faction have a secret relationship? but what does this have to do with this whole situation?" Martha asked.

"A few months ago Tamamo - no - Mae was poisoned by a terrible poison for several months, the youkai faction tried to find a cure for young people until 4 months ago she was cured, how she was healed was a mystery to everyone. But considering that she can roam freely in the city of Clarisse Aizawa without any problems means that Clarisse Aizawa and the youkai faction have a very friendly relationship, perhaps Clarisse may be involved in healing the young woman." Vasco spoke.

"I understand now the reason for my trip to Japan, I will fulfill my mission and get help from Clarisse Aizawa." Martha spoke determinedly.

"Thank you Martha, take this envelope it contains the main articles for negotiating with Clarisse, you cannot open - the only one you should read is Clarisse Aizawa." Vasco spoke while handing the envelope to Martha.

"You three can go now." Vasco spoke to the three.

"Understood Cardinal Vasco." the three said as they left the room.

*sigh * "I just hope Clarisse is in a good mood when Martha gets there." Vasco murmured softly with no one to hear.
