Chapter 8 : Daniel shouted out

However as Daniel finished explaining his reasons to Sona, a small red bat appeared and seemed to whisper something into Rias' ear.

"So can you now tell me why Issei is now a Devil?" Daniel asked with his warm smile changing into a more sadden one.

"I'm sorry Sensei, but it'll have to wait." Rias exclaimed out shocking Daniel. "Issei's in trouble and we have to go help him."

"I'll be coming with you." Daniel responded immediately. Daniel's sudden response caught the Devils off guard once more. "Devil or not, Issei Hyoudou is still a student at this school. As his Homeroom Teacher it's my responsibility to look for him and you all."

Daniel's response cause both Sona and Rias to smile at him as Rias warmly replied. "Of course."

Rias smiled warmly as she raised her hand into the air. Below them a glowing pentagram formula appeared on the floor. As the formula rose up it transported them towards Issei.

When the red light faded Daniel noticed that he was in the Park located near the town centre. Noticing the sky and it's animated appearance, Daniel knew that a barrier was in effect.

Looking at Issei he seen the boy was on his hands and knees, bleeding heavily from a wound in his gut. Standing over him was a middle-aged-looking man with short black hair and dark blue eye. He was wearing a grey trench coat over a white shirt with a matching ascot. He was wearing black pants, shoes, gloves, and fedora.

However Daniel's eyes widened as he seen the pitch black feathers of his wings and blue Light Spear he held in his hand. "Trace on!" Daniel cried out as he created an English Longbow called Fail-not, the weapon of Tristan. As he pulled the string back, an arrow notched itself by the weapon's divine blessing.

Letting the arrow loose Daniel's shot hit the Fallen Angel's right hand, forcing him to drop the blue Light Spear. The Fallen cried out in pain as he held onto his wrist. "What did you do to me you bastard!" The Fallen Angel sneered at Daniel as he created another light spear in his uninjured hand.

"Sensei?.." Issei weakly called out before passing out with his injuries.

Daniel however couldn't help him at the moment as his eyes remained locked on the Fallen and the Light Spear in his hand. 'Trace on.' Daniel internally called out but was surprised when he wasn't able to trace the Light Spear.

However before the Fallen Angel could even move a blast of red and black energy destroyed the spear in the Fallen's hand. "It would be wise for you to leave." Rias spoke out towards the Fallen Angel.

The Fallen didn't seem to listen as he rushed towards Rias. "Listen brat, I'll teach you not to mettle where you don't belong!"

However he was punched backwards and away from Rias by her Rook, Koneko. His fedora was knocked off from the force of Koneko's punch.

Growling outwards the Fallen Angel stood up once more. "I'm done with you!" He cried out in rage but a bolt of lightning stopped him from rushing forward once more. Rias' Queen, Akeno smiled as lightning arc'd and danced around her raised hand.

Calming down slightly, the Fallen started to notice a bit more of his surroundings. "Now I see."

"That hair... You're from the house of Gremory." The Fallen Angel stated as he dusted himself.

"My name is Rias Gremory, and who are you? Other than a Fallen Angel?" Rias asked with a smirk written on her face.

"Well well, who knew this town is currently under control of the next head of the great Gremory family." The Fallen Angel mockingly bowed towards Rias before he pointed towards Issei's downed body and then Daniel. "I take it that this one is a part of you household? Can you tell me about the other? You two seem close, as you both arrived in the same spell."

Daniel chuckled slightly as he dispelled Fail-not. Rias meanwhile narrowed her own eyes at the Fallen Angel. "If you bring any more harm to him you'll be getting no mercy from me."

"And for your information bastard, I'm just a friend and his teacher." Daniel calmly replied as he readied his hand to his side. 'Reinforce.' Daniel mentally called out and he pumped his mana through his body.

"Then I apologise for the misunderstanding." The Fallen Angel replied as he dust off his fedora. "Though I must inform you of how unwise it is to let your servants run loose like this."

The Fallen Angel then turned around and showed his back to the group. "The next time he's out for a stroll, he might run across someone less cordial than myself."

However in the blink of an eye, Kiba was standing in front of the Fallen. A demonic sword already drawn as he blocked his escape. "And I appreciate the friendly advice." Rias spoke out.

"However, bare in mind that if anything like this happens again, i'll make you regret the day you crossed paths with the house of Gremory." Rias warned the Fallen Angel as Kiba moved to the side, allowing the Fallen to leave.

The Fallen though scoffed at Rias' warning. "No offence to your noble household but, you should bear in mind that the same thing can be said to you." He snapped back at Rias before he started walking away.

"My name is Dohnaseek, pray that you and I never cross paths again." The Fallen Angel, Dohnaseek spoke out in warning as he flexed out his black feathered wings.

"Hold it right there!" Daniel shouted out. Dohnaseek and the Devils turned and faced the Teacher. "Who said you can leave?"

Dohnaseek scowled as he turned to face Daniel. "What's it to you human?"

"Listen here you discount Philip Marlowe." Daniel growled out as he raised his hands slightly. His insult however caused Dohnaseek's eyebrow to twitch. "Rias may be kind enough to just let you go. I on the other hand will not let you simply walk away as if nothing happened."
