"Interesting! How will you fare against my Balance Breaker? Let's test it out!" Shouted Vali as he launched himself towards me.

I just stood motionlessly with a smirk on my face.

Vali reached me and punched me right in the face, only to miss his punch. He was surprised for a second before throwing a roundhouse kick towards me, but it missed too.

My body that was kicked turned into a cloud of black smoke and his kick passed me without even touching my real body.

Vali fly away from me and looked at me from the sky.

I tapped the back of my sword against my shoulder a few times as I said. "What's wrong? Can't hit me?"

"Strange. Is that your ability? I'm sure that your body is real unlike the fake earlier. But, why I can't hit you?"

"Why don't you find out?" As I said that, I send dozens of fireballs towards Vali. This time the fire was blue, I used Senjutsu to add a destructive nature to my fireball.

Vali didn't move from his place and a magic circle began forming in front of his body that was hit by the fireballs. After he defended against my fireball, Vali once again launched his body towards me.

I kept sending fireball towards his direction with my left hand and preparing myself to slash him as soon as he entered my range. As I'd expected, he closed in to me and punched my stomach.

My body melted into a cloud of black smoke and I appeared beside him. I used this chance to send a vertical slash towards his back and managed to chip his armor with my Nenekirimaru.

He shot out into the sky and sent an energy ball towards me.

"It's useless, you won't be able to hit me unless you fight me directly!" I shouted towards Vali as I run towards him.

I created a solid air using my Youjutsu and leaped towards Vali, slashing him a few times when I reached him.

He defended against my attack using the gauntlet part of his scale mail. Unfortunately for him, the scale mail was a dragon arm, a supernatural entity. That's why I managed to chip his armor and injured his arm with my Nenekirimaru.

I kicked the air to go back to the ground and looked at Vali.

"Hey, are we going to continue this? I've yet to use my strongest technique and yet you are bleeding from your arm and your back!"

"No problem! I can continue!" shouted Vali back as he dived at a great speed, leaving a blue trail behind him.

The energy that was on his wing earlier now focused on his right arm. It seems he wanted to end this right now.

This is rather serious, I enhanced my body using Senjutsu and used Touki to further enhance it. After readying myself, I raised my Nenekirimaru above my head and shrouded it in Fear.

The black smoke on my body was not gathering on the blade of Nenekirimaru, hiding the blade completely. My body was surrounded by a pale light from using Touki, but my Kyouka Suigetsu was canceled after focusing my fear on my blade.

To further enhance the destructive effect of my blade, I used Youjutsu and created a blue flame to surround my blade.

I can't see Vali's face, but I know that he's smiling right now because I have the same smile on my face. The wind created from my focused energy blow my Haori to the sky, now I just need to swing my sword after Vali entered my range.

In less than two seconds, Vali had entered my range and throw a punch towards me.

At that moment, I swung my sword down and created black and blue energy that flew from my slash. Vali with a fast movement used Divide a few times in a row to block my attack, but it's futile.

He was only dividing the Fear, and my Fear can't be divided unless he divide his fear itself. My fear was created from my opponent's fear, that's why it can't be touched or divided.

Vali who realized that turned to the side in an instant, avoiding my slash. The energy that was created by my slash still flew, because it lost its target. It slashed the island and leave a deep mark on its way, inviting the seawater to enter the new ravine made by the slash.

Vali's gaze was following the slash until it was gone to the atmosphere. He then looked at me and made his armor disappear.

"You… I will get seriously injured or even died instantly if I took that blow. I hate to admit it, but it's your win."

Vali approached me and extended his hand as he smiled with a satisfied smile.

I make my sword disappear too and canceled all my techniques, I took Vali's hand and shake it.

"You're not half-bad too."

We were smiling at each other for a while before releasing the handshake.

Vali teleported me back to the school before following me from behind. We appeared on the roof again and he asked me.

"So, about the fee for taking care of Kokabiel. What do you need?"

I touched my chin with my right hand and think about what I needed. I will get two healing items from the devils, so I think I will ask that from him.

I smiled at Vali and said.

"I wanted a copy of the Sacred Gear's research. Especially on how to achieve a Balance Breaker."

Vali was surprised for a second but he was still able to keep his straight face. "You have sacred gear? So that's why… This is valuable information, I guess Azazel will be happy to give you the copy of his research."

Damn, so they don't know about it? I screwed up. My old man was able to feel the sacred gear inside me, why did Vali wasn't able to feel it too? Was it because my Fear hides the sacred gear aura?

It doesn't matter, this is a good thing to know it before the big baddies arrived. Azazel though, now that he knows I think he will ask me to allow him to research my Sacred Gear. That will be my worry in the future.

"Well, I wanted the full copy then." I said to Vali.

He nodded his head and his blue wing appeared again behind him. "I will say it to him. Let's meet again someday."

After leaving those words, Vali shoots to the distance, leaving me alone on the roof.
