The weather outside was warm. A light breeze blew under the hoods of the men sitting on the benches on their phones or reading newspapers with a cup of coffee. Warm rays of the sun broke through from under the clouds, giving people warmth. Girls in short skirts chirped cheerfully, discussing the latest novelties of the season. And some were discussing among themselves and the guys from the covers of different magazines.

Even though it was early morning, the suburbs of Tokyo were already alive. Some were going to work, some to school, all going about their business. But it wasn't hard to notice the colourful clothes of the students of the school that had once been the common school, Kuo Academy.

It used to be exclusively for women, but now it had become common, thanks to a European businessman who had bought the building, which was under the state.

But that didn't really bother the two young boys who were wearing the standard Academy uniforms. When they applied here, the reply came a few days later, informing them that the Academy was happy to welcome talented students.

It wasn't just their personal details that were required to be submitted. They had taken the entrance exams and passed them with flying colours.

Therefore, after the examiners saw the result, the school's uniform was immediately sent over. It consisted of a white shirt of quality material, a black ribbon that could be worn together with a tie, the same colour trousers and a jacket.

Hayato Rei was a young guy of pleasant appearance with thick black hair slicked back. Straight cheekbones, short nose and thin lips, along with a polite smile that attracted the eye, made him a real stealer of girls' hearts.

If any of his contemporaries had suggested what aristocrats should look like, girls, and probably men too, would have immediately pointed to him. Hayato also wore small and round glasses, under which were hidden bright blue eyes, carefully noting every detail of the courtyards of the city.

After all, who knows what lurks in the shadows?

Next to Hayato walked his friend Elias Monoke. A handsome face with pleasant features with no cheekbones. A calm expression was frozen on his face, peering around with a bored look. It was immediately obvious from his appearance that he was clearly not Japanese. Short red hair and bright green eyes focused only on their new school, Kuo Academy.

- Do you see anything? - Elias asked his friend in surprise, putting his hands behind his head.

- I don't think so,' Rei grinned slightly, adjusting his glasses, pushing them down on the bridge of his nose. - No, I see our Academy, though.

- Hmm,' Elias grinned uncomprehendingly, 'I don't know why she would choose this city, though.

- She didn't really care, and neither did her parents or her brother. She just wanted freedom,' Rei grinned at his last word, waving at the pretty girls watching them.

They giggled merrily and waved back, showing their dazzling smiles.

Elias responded with a slight nod, ignoring the girls who were already looking at the two of them as they approached the gates of the Academy.

And what was remarkable about their appearance was that not all of them wore the black ribbons that were part of the school kit.

- You don't have to wear them,' Rei said, as if reading his friend's mind. 'Those ribbons are the work of a master craftsman, after all. Your tracking bugs are no match for them,' Rei grinned good-naturedly, watching his friend's reaction.

- I admit that's true,' Elias agreed, though he didn't like to be belittled for his talents, 'But her brother's help wasn't unavoidable.

- Exactly,' Rei nodded, smiling once again at the passing girls, 'If it hadn't been for her, we wouldn't have known about the tape at all.

- We did. About the others...I'm not sure,' Elias agreed with him in the same tone.

Rei nodded and continued to smile at the passersby. But he was interrupted by Elias's mental voice in his head.

- You were briefed on the mission...by him. And you included me in your team without even asking,' the angry voice in his head gave away the identical emotions on his face.

- You'll figure it out soon enough,' Rei grinned to himself, answering him mentally as well, 'What's the question you're interested in?

- Our...she is there, isn't she? Can she be trusted? - They were afraid to say the names out loud, because no one knows what those who are in this school for their own purposes are hiding in their hands.

Rei discarded his good boy mask for only a moment and answered his friend.

- She was vouched for by him. She is our ally. No matter how I feel about her, my mission is separate, my personal feelings are separate,' Rei said, glancing at Elis' serious face.

Monoke nodded, and in the same instant he adopted a bored expression. Hayato, on the other hand, began to look around again with a smile, scrutinising everything.

All of this happened in only a fraction of a second, and the human eye didn't have time to notice their gazes.

The human eye didn't notice, but someone else did....

A girl in a black and white Academy's female uniform was carefully watching the flow of students into Kuo's gate. She was wearing half rimmed glasses that concealed the heterochromia of her eyes: the right one was yellow, the other violet. Her long black hair was waterfalling down her back, and she had small fringes split in two on her forehead.

Tsubaki hid her demonic energy not only because it could have a detrimental effect on ordinary people, but also so that it wouldn't be revealed. She is, after all, the High Demon Queen of the Sitri clan. She did not wish to disgrace the name of House Sitri, so she resembled her Mistress in almost all of her mannerisms of speech and gestures. The impenetrable and cold High Demon Queen.

Tsubaki Shinra once again scanned her surroundings, conversing with the students that approached her. She was the vice president of the school's student council. Tsubaki noticed a slight burst of magic and immediately turned around.

She saw two young handsome guys that were looking at each other in a strange serious way. And after a second of staring, they immediately turned around and took on different facial expressions.

Tsubaki frowned faintly. She was the best sensor in her Mistress's retinue, and in the entire school, but she couldn't detect any more magic from these young men. Absolutely everyone had an Aura. These young men had none. None at all.

Only occasionally there were some lights that showed their emotions. Otherwise, they were like a white sheet. And that made Tsubaki very wary.

- Sacred Mechanisms? Wizards? They're definitely not demons, since they don't emanate the Aura of sin. We should warn the Lady...' Tsubaki thought to herself and immediately started answering the students' questions.

When the students moved away from her, she sighed faintly. She wasn't really interested in standing here, but it was her Mistress' order to keep an eye on the newcomers to the Academy. What if there was a Sacred Mechanism owner among them that could be recruited?

And if they can't be recruited, they'll do it by other methods....

- Excuse me,' Tsubaki flinched slightly in surprise, 'Could you tell me where Class 3-B is located? - Rei addressed her with a polite smile.

Tsubaki once again felt nothing. Not his friend, not his approach - nothing. She quickly looked round at the pair of friends.

The one that spoke to her was undeniably attractive and eye-catching. Strange, because humans couldn't have that effect on beings of a different race. That's if Tsubaki was a human - then she would have immediately answered his question with a smile. Maybe even flirted with him....

The other only gave her a furtive glance, and then continued to gaze at his surroundings. He was handsome, but because of his disinterest and boredom, unwittingly spoilt the first impression of himself. But some people even liked that kind of...mysteriousness.

Tsubaki immediately noticed how brazenly the guy with glasses started to stare at her. He wasn't even shy about so blatantly examining her, without exaggeration, beautiful body. Her firm thighs were visible from beneath Tsubaki's short skirt, and her roundness was peeking out into the light. Add to that her stern and nonchalant appearance, and she looked like a perfect businesswoman, if not for her uniform.

- Y-Yes, I'll tell you right now,' Tsubaki was distracted from her thoughts, 'But before I do, could you give me your first and last name, please?

- Rei. Rei Hayato. And this,' he pointed to a friend, 'is Elias. Elias Monoke. May I ask what your name is, too? - Rei asked with a slight smile.

- Tsubaki. Tsubaki Shinra,' the girl answered him automatically as she flipped through the papers, looking for student information.

- That's a wonderful name. To match your beauty,' Tsubaki automatically let all the pleasantries pass her ears as she always did, but... It's a shame that such a girl is a demon....

Tsubaki didn't get the meaning of the words at first, but when she did, she immediately looked up in surprise, but they were already gone. She saw them walk up to some girl who was blushing and trying to answer him. Rei smiled at her and walked off in the one direction he knew.

Tsubaki's eyebrow twitched. She considered herself, if not the Mistress' equal, then definitely a beautiful and attractive girl, as she was often reminded. But now the man hadn't begun to pursue her, which hit her ego.

Tsubaki found Rei and Elias on the list and her eyes immediately rounded. If there was a 'blank' next to a student's last name, then it was an ordinary, unremarkable person.

If there was a 'P' next to the student's last name, then he or she had some potential. If there was a 'K' next to the student's last name, then the student is a candidate for Servanthood.

Since last year, many students have changed their categories. Tsubaki had only seen three with a 'K' on the lists so far - Issei Hyodo, Aika Kiryu, Murayama Nakaro - presumed to be Sacred Mechanism bearers.

And when she came across Hayato and Monoke's surnames side by side, there was a 'K' circled with three exclamation marks. Madam hadn't said anything regarding these students to her Queen, so such a high regard for some upstart she thought was too excessive.

But it wasn't for her to judge that....

At least one thing she now knew for sure.

They're aware of the supernatural world. They know I'm a demon, and they're probably aware that there are other demons in the school, including the High Ones. Spies from the magicians? The Fallen? The Church?

Tsubaki was slightly annoyed at her ignorance. But she would ask the Mistress about them. She would...

- Who the hell are they? - Tsubaki asked aloud, looking at the back of the two guys walking confidently.

***

- Who are they?

- The new students?

- Xo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o, they're so much prettier than Kiba!!!

- Looks like I'll be a virgin forever....

- They're so beautiful!!!

- Who are these handsome guys?!

- I want him...

- Who are you?

- I didn't call you!

- Get lost!

- They're as handsome as Kiba-kun...

- They're better!

- No!

- Why did you tell her? - Elias asked with the same boredom, pulling a chupa-chupa out of his pocket.

- All her emotions were fake,' Rei began to explain with a smile, 'She didn't care about the students at all, and her arrogant look only confirmed it. Do you think your self-esteem would be improved if you were accepted into the Sitri Clan, one of the richest and most powerful Pillars of Hell?

- I think so,' Elias thought for a moment and put the candy in his mouth.

- Here,' Ray nodded, "I only flicked her on the nose a little," Ray said contentedly, 'I'm sure the lists she was looking at had us marked as potential toys for Sitri's future entourage.

- Is that why you didn't give her time to find us on the lists, to play on her emotions? - Elias looked boredly at the walls of the school.

- Exactly,' Rei nodded, 'Now she will express her resentment to the Mistress because some insolent people dared to announce themselves so brazenly. And when they contact us, then we can make a move,' Rei grinned.

- They're not exactly ordinary, though. And not quite human...' For the first time in their conversation, Elias smiled, faintly, predatorily.

- As always, my friend,' Rei grinned happily, but when he caught sight of his classroom, he pulled himself together.

Rei ran a hand through his soft hair, licking it back harder to his right side. He ran his hand lightly over his face, as if putting on a mask, and walked into the classroom with a friendly smile. Elias, on the other hand, followed him in without taking the candy out of his mouth.

The bell was about to ring, but the teacher was still absent, causing the classroom to be abuzz with almost all the students in the class.

When Rei and Elias entered the classroom, everyone immediately fell silent. The girls' faces were flushed and the boys' faces narrowed with rage. There were even excited moans from different parts of the class....

Rei bowed gracefully like an aristocrat and started moving towards the back of the class. Everyone couldn't utter a sound. So mesmerising and confident was the gait of the two students that everyone was only looking at them.

- Hyodo Issei,' Rei looked towards the brown-haired boy who was giving him an angry glare, 'Presumed owner of the Vali Dragon Ddraig. A pervert obsessed with the breasts of girls, part of the Perverted Trio company. I think Gremory and Sitri have their eyes on him. Well, we'll keep a better eye on him...' Ray smirked at his own thoughts.

One of the girls blushed faintly and accidentally caught her pen, which fell right in front of Rei's left foot. She was about to reach for it when she saw Hayato looking at her, and her pen was right next to him.

Pretty face, bright yellow eyes, and brown hair tied in a long braid in the back. Just like everyone else, she was also wearing an Academy uniform that allowed her to admire the girl's delicate legs.

Rei was only momentarily embarrassed, but immediately pulled himself together and reached for his pen. Hayato picked it up with a kind smile and handed it to the slightly confused girl.

- Here you go,' Rei said with the same smile, "It's cute," he pointed to the keychain with the pink cat on it.

The girl only looked even more embarrassed, clutching her small hands in her lap.

- P-I'm sorry, Murayama Nakaro,' Rei looked at the girl perplexed. Did she drop her pen on purpose? - What's your name? - The girl asked, gathering her courage.

Hayato only arched an eyebrow at that. Everyone held their breath, eager to hear the handsome man's name.

- When the teacher comes, I'll introduce myself,' Rei replied.

Some sighed disappointedly, some snorted cheekily, and others turned their attention to the other bored-looking boy.

- I'll introduce myself along with Re...ahem. With a friend,' Elias almost mumbled, though what he really wanted to say was his friend's name. Monoke barely held back a snide smile as the whole class took notice of his reservation.

Rei, on the other hand, showed no slight irritation and headed towards the two back desks. Elias almost beamed at the desk by the window, to which Rei snorted rather loudly and sat down next to him. The desks were divided, and each stood on its own, six desks on each row. They sat down on the last desks of rows 1 and 2.

A young man started to approach the pair of friends.

- A trio of handsome men in the same place.....

- With me in the same class...

- I'm flowing...

- Oh-ho, I'm in heaven,' Aika smiled wickedly as she looked at the boys, waiting for them to fight, and afterwards to get their hot bodies and....

A handsome young man with blond short hair slowly and confidently began to walk up to Rei's desk. His blue eyes were beaming with kindness, and he had a pleasant smile on his face. He was literally glowing, which made him embarrass a lot of girls....

- Kiba Yuto, Knight of Rias Gremori, owner of the Sacred Mechanism Father of Swords. Also the last survivor of the Holy Sword Project. No, not the last...'' Rei thought without even looking at Kiba.

Kiba Yuto was dressed in roomy trousers, a white shirt with a black ribbon around his neck. He walked up to Rei and looking straight into his eyes, he coughed delicately.

- 'Ahem, I apologise, but you have taken President Rias' seat. Would you mind vacating it? - Kiba said with a kind smile.

Everyone held their breath. Everyone was aware of whose seat it was, but had not said anything. Now everyone was listening to the conversation between the two main hotties of the school. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Elias was only the third extra here...

- Ah-ah-ah,' Rei said understandingly, not even asking the name of the person he was talking to. Kiba was already smiling victoriously, thinking that he had defended the President's place, but... - No... - Rei took his phone out of his pocket and watched a video with hippos who decided to attack a giraffe. Very entertaining.

What?

Kiba was a little taken aback at the indifferent tone. Some person had brazenly taken his Mistress's place! Outrageous! He would undoubtedly teach him a lesson, and not just now....

- But, I beg your pardon... - Kiba began with the same smile, but he was interrupted.

- Is it signed here? - Rei began to ask rhetorical questions, smirking, 'No. Am I new? Yes. Then I'm allowed to take any available seat.

Ray and Elias took these seats for one simple reason. Not only did they have the best view of the entire classroom from here, but also through the window to the other classrooms, where they had a perfect view of the other students. Hayato realised that he had slightly underestimated one red-haired High....

Before Kiba could reply, the object of the discussion entered the classroom along with his girlfriend...

An incredibly beautiful girl with a narrow waist and hair as scarlet as blood entered the classroom elegantly and, to some extent, imperiously. She, like all the girls, was dressed in the Academy school uniform with a short skirt, showing everyone her gorgeous legs with long white socks and black shoes.

The young beauty's breasts seemed about to burst her shirt, but unfortunately for many men, it didn't happen. Her long hair swayed slightly with each step and almost touched her firm hips, but one hair on the top of her head was poking up.

- There you are, Rias Gremory,' Rei thought to herself, glancing sidelong at the Kuo Academy's leading beauty.

Rias had bright blue eyes, and a kind, unadulterated smile crossed her face. Her skin was so light that it looked as if the sun would begin to reflect off of it, like the solar panels on the roofs of many of Tokyo's buildings.

She was followed by Kuo, the Academy's second beauty, who looked round the entire class with her trademark elegant smile, which caused the boys' faces to turn red. And Rei, as well as Elias, couldn't imagine such huge breasts that were barely held in place by the buttons of her shirt.

A beautiful girl with an hourglass figure, not inferior to her friend Rias. Long black hair tied up in a ponytail with an orange ribbon, reaching down to her juicy ass.

- Akeno Himejima, Rias' queen. 'Well, good,' Elias thought, nodding faintly towards Akeno Hayato.

Rei, on the other hand, glanced fleetingly at his friend, and they understood each other without words. They didn't even need to speak to understand what the other was thinking right now.

Rias walked over to Kiba.

- 'I heard, Kiba, what you said to two,' she glanced irritatedly at the pair of smiling boys, 'our students. Thank you, I'll take care of it now.

Kiba with the same victorious smile bowed slightly to his President-Mistress and stepped aside, causing the female students in the class to exhale and exhale.

She bent down slightly and tucked a fallen lock of hair behind her ear, showing off her dignity for Rei.

Hayato, with a polite smile, only 'accidentally' glanced at her breasts, noting to himself that they were quite lush. Rei was now only looking into her blue eyes.

Rias noticed his 'casual' glance and smirked to herself. She was once again convinced that men only had one thing on their mind.....

- Hi, my name is Rias. Rias Gremory,' she introduced herself to the boy, even though he already knew her name, and held out her delicate hand to him.

- Hi,' Ray nodded, shaking Rias' hand.

- Aren't you going to introduce yourself? - Rias asked, frowning her eyebrows as if out of resentment, which looked cute.

- Sure, but later,' Rei smiled with the corner of his lips.

Gremory glared at Rey for only a second before her eyes turned bright red and she spoke.

- I'm sorry, can you please take another seat? I really like it here and I wouldn't want anyone to occupy it,' Rias explained to Rey with a cute smile.

- The others are in a slight hypnosis too, but she spent more effort on me. Sitri didn't tell her about us Elias? I wonder...' Rey thought to himself.

After a second pause, he spoke up:

- No,' Rei cut him off, keeping the same smile.

With his answer, he stunned Reyas so much that her hypnosis fell off the other students and they too fixed their surprised gazes on Gremory.

Kiba, on the other hand, couldn't keep his smiling mask either and stared stunned only at the guy.

Akeno on the other hand did not show her surprise in any way, continuing to stand with her gentle smile.

- You can sit here, - he pointed to the right desk of the third row, waving his hand to the right side, - As far as I know, this seat is free, since the student stayed for the second year, - kept a polite smile, Rei said, but his eyes under the glasses glittered with sneer.

- He's a professional negotiator, so he's the one who's been given the task of scratching his tongue. I'm sitting here, keeping a low profile and keeping an eye on the situation. Of course, up to a certain point, I'll be sitting inconspicuously....

Elias immediately turned his gaze to one of the windows of the other offices. A white-haired girl, who looked like a little kitten, was staring straight at him with her huge golden eyes.

- Who's that? The nekomata? Kuroki's sister? Even from there, she is able to keep an eye on her Mistress and come to her aid if necessary.

Elias turned away and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes, listening intently to what was going on with his foolish friend.

Gremory quickly forgot about Rei's resistance to hypnosis and gritted her teeth, already angry, trying to keep the same sweet smile.

- Some pathetic man is ordering me around? - Rias thought to herself, ignoring her friend's warnings and going to finish him off.

- And you, beautiful, I suggest you sit next to me, - Rei stood up from the desk, looking at Akeno, not paying attention to Rias, - Please, - he kindly pushed the chair of the third row of the last desk.

- Ara-ara,' Akeno didn't show her confusion, covering her mouth with her palm, "How gallant you are, Mr "sure, but later',' Himejima giggled sweetly, taking a seat at the chair.

Rei, however, smiled even more at the girl's teasing, pushing his chair over to the desk. Reyas was already as red as a cancer from anger, and Kiba was watching Hayato closely. And when he looked Reyas in the face, Yuto flinched.

Although Rei's smile was also dazzling and eye-catching, but the eyes....

The bright blue eyes were unimaginably cold as ice, directed only at Akeno...

Kibo had seen a similar gaze before. He had read his emotions just from his eyes. Disgust and contempt, feelings that were directed at Queen Rias Gremory right now.

And Yuto had also seen such a look...

Those who had killed dozens, hundreds of people...

For a moment, Rei looked directly at Yuto...

Kiba flinched again when he heard the teacher enter the classroom.

A burly man in a dark brown suit with a white shirt and thick glasses. There was a slight smile on his face, and an Aura of happiness emanated from him....

- I guess Sensei Kiredo's daughter has finally recovered...' Kiba thought to himself, forgetting about Rei.

All the students immediately took their surprised looks away from Rei and Akeno and stood near their desks.

- Greetings! - said the girl class president.

- GOOD MORNING, SENSEI! - responded the class with glee.

- Good morning, children, - the teacher smiled, - Sit down.

Everyone sat down except Rei and Elias.

- Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, new students,' teacher Kiredo stretched out, 'Come out, please. Tell us a little about yourself,' the man smiled kindly, showing his friendliness.

- His superiors had obviously made it clear to him that we were not to be let out of the school. Was it Sitri's doing? Or did the headmaster really give such an order, without the influence of hypnosis? - Rei reasoned to himself as he and Elias headed for the blackboard.

Rei walked over to the teacher, raised his hand at the level of the teacher's head and put up a mental hypnosis defence, taking his hand to his hair.

- Hypnosis defence? I just wanted to subdue sensei to kick this...person out of my place,' Rias thought to herself, forgetting that hypnosis defences were complicated. At least for her...

- Thank you, sensei,' Rei smiled even brighter.

Hayato looked towards the classroom and sighed. The girls' red cheeks and the guys' hateful looks filled the room once again.

- My name is Rei. Rei Hayato. Alas, I have little to no interest in anything, but I will note that I am fond of reading fiction in my spare time. I don't like...' Rei forgot himself for a moment, "there's no such thing," he continued with a polite smile.

I hate Highs...

I hate half-breeds...

- Where are you from?

- Do you have a girlfriend?

- Where do you live?

- Are you gay?

And other questions filled the entire office, Sensei Kiredo only smiled understandingly.

- Please stop, Rei will answer all of your questions by....

- Sensei, I want to answer some of them now,' Rei said, to which Sensei only nodded slowly, 'I don't have a girlfriend. I was born in Tokyo, I moved recently to Shinjuku, 12.

- O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!!!

- He said his address...

- I'll come alone.

- No knickers.

- Oh! That's my boy!

Rei guiltily scratched the back of his head, pretending to be upset about his reservation. Rias smiled wryly, Kiba smiled thoughtfully, Akeno kept the same elegant smile, and the others...ahem.

- Elias reasoned to himself, 'I think Sitri could have already found information on us, and this way Rei is gathering a huge crowd from our school in one place, so that Gremory and Sitri won't come to us "just like that". Fox, you're Fox, Rei,' Elias grinned to himself.

- Ahem, ahem,' the teacher coughed, and then everyone fell silent. I think it's time to introduce the second new student.

Everyone looked at the second handsome boy.

- I think after the lesson everyone will decide which camp to join. Mine or Elias's,' he smirked at the thought of girls chasing after Elias and asking him for help. But Rei wouldn't help a friend, hehe....

- Elias. Elias Monoke,' Rei's friend introduced himself, feigning boredom, 'That's it.

- Monoke? - Monoke?' one of the students asked, and everyone paid attention to her, "Ah-ah-ah, are you by any chance a relative of Anade (emphasis on the second "A') Monoke, the head of the oil company who recently came to see the Emperor? He was even on the telly.

Everyone held their breath. They had all seen their 'official' meeting on the news. And here came another Monoke....

- Yes,' Elias grimaced slightly as he really didn't want to answer like that, but that's the mission, 'He's my uncle.

- WOW-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!!!

- Rich son...

- Two handsome boys.

- I bet they're rich.

- I want to...

- Calm down, class, - the teacher immediately interrupted all the whispers, - Now that the students have introduced themselves, we can start the lesson!

***

Sona Sitri, head of the student council, High Demon, sister of Lord Leviathan, was sitting at her desk, looking over the school's documents. She was dressed in a white shirt with a black ribbon and a short skirt, the usual Kuo Academy school uniform.

She had short black hair cut into a bob, pink eyes with round glasses, and a narrow, doll-like figure. Although she didn't have impressive dignity in special places like her friend Rias, Sona was still the third most beautiful and popular girl in the Academy. A pretty face and a cold gaze were the main tools of the head of the school's student council and High Demon.

Her pink eyes, thanks to her enchanted glasses, quickly analysed the information in the documents.

She set the papers aside and sighed.

Her ribbon plan had failed. Sona had purposely slipped a letter with an 'official' request to make sure the two students wore ribbons. They not only monitored their wearers, but also discreetly influenced the mind, affecting a person's will.

The marvellously subtle work of Ajuki Beelzebub...

If it didn't work that way, she would do it with her favourite method...

Blackmail...

There was a knock at the door.

- May I, Mistress? - A muffled sound came from behind the door.

- Come in, Tsubaki,' Sona recognised her Queen's voice.

Tsubaki entered the room with a bit of a frown on her face, which Sona noticed. Sitri didn't like her tools being subjected to her emotions at work....

- What's wrong? - Sona feigned agitated.

- 'About the two students who came today,' Tsubaki began immediately without even bowing. She knows Sitri likes to get straight to the point, 'They are not fit to be your Servants. They are not worthy,' Tsubaki said firmly.

Sona arched an eyebrow, looking away from the papers.

- Really? - Sona stretched out, 'And why is that?

- Insolent, insolent, insufferable,' Sona could see that Tsubaki was lying, letting her talk about her two future tools, 'They won't obey.

From what Sona could see through the window, only one of them, Rei Hayato, a student with excellent grades and a winner of many maths and physics Olympiads, behaved exactly as Tsubaki had described.

Such a student would be accepted in any educational institution with open arms. Yes and the second student - Elias Monoke, all he did as he looked around as if looking through the whole school.

But these two brilliant students came to a school that only a year ago was an all-female school. The very school where the sisters of the Lords of Hell were studying, at the very moment when the reputation of the Lords held only on personal Strength....

They need something.

- Have you been using your Gift? - Sona asked out of curiosity. Although she had personally forbidden the use of such a unique Gift of the Shinra Clan, but in some cases....

- No. I didn't have the opportunity to have a long dialogue with them,'' Tsubaki replied immediately.

- That's it,' Sona repeated, 'Well, let's change the plans slightly. Just make them,' Sona grinned faintly, and Tsubaki flinched.

Shinra knew how her Mistress made the unwanted submit. Tsubaki sometimes wondered if Mistress was either sadistic or she enjoyed seeing...suffering. Shinra forgot what they call such...creatures.

- Find some information on them, Tsubaki.

- Already did,' she held out the paperwork on the two people from behind her back.

- 'That's it,' Sona repeated again, 'Great, have them come to me after class. I need to contact someone...

- Yes,' Tsubaki bowed and left the office.

- You'll be mine,' Sona said quietly, but immediately pulled herself together and went to the other room.

Contacting the right Demon...
