( Yuuki's POV )
After the nuisances were gone and with an unconscious Iran in my arms, Kokabiel and I could now talk in private.
Yuuki: Good because we don't start by talking about your plan.
Kokabiel: my plan huh? I doubt that you can figure out my goals.
Yuuki: You want to restart the war between the devils, angels, and fallen angels.
Kokabiel: you're not wrong but you're not right either.
Yuuki: um come again?
Kokabiel: A war is only a means to an end, and I just want to continue the fight, When Azazel and Shemhazai decided to stop fighting, the fallen angels have been slowly falling into disgrace, we should be above each other and above all, fighting gives me thrill's!
Yuuki: Well I was half right, I guess I can live with that, anyway, your plan is destined to fail, Regardless of your opinion of Azazel, he is more than powerful enough to stop you and I think you know that, Plus with me here that makes two but I can change that and make your plan a success.
Kokabiel: huh? And why would you do that if you're so sure you can stop me?
Yuuki: my motives will be clear at the end of all this, let's make a bet Kokabiel, If you win I will help you restart the war and if I win you will do what I say.
Kokabiel: And why should I believe you? You are on the side of the devils.
Yuuki: I'm not one to go back on my word but if you want some kind of insurance that can be arranged.
After a quick phone call one of our family's goddesses, Ana, came out of a portal that appeared next to us.
Kokabiel: who is she?
Yuuki: This is Ana, she will be in charge of enforcing the terms of our agreement.
Ana is an expert in seals and she was the one who created the seals that allow us to visit other worlds without causing problems to the power structure of those worlds.
Kokabiel: and those will be what?
Yuuki: easy, a simple confrontation, my students against your lackeys and me against you, I will even let you decide the limit of participants.
Kokabiel: What happens if someone doesn't keep their end of the deal?
Ana: Whoever fails to keep their end of the deal will pass on their powers to the other, one way or another they will have what they are looking for.
That wasn't exactly correct, if for some reason I were to lose, highly unlikely, I would only give up an amount of power equal to what he currently has, which means that his power would be doubled when I would only lose a fraction of my powers, anyway it is an incredible deal for him, I extended my right hand to Kokabiel, he only hesitated for a second before shaking my hand strongly.
Kokabiel: Very well, bring five of your students, they better not disappoint.
Ana's hand hovered over ours and beautiful red lights appeared in our hands.
Yuuki: If a good fight is what you want that is what you will get, prepare your troops, the battle will be tomorrow night in-
Kokabiel: Kuoh Academy.
Yuuki: yes, that works.
The lines of light stuck to our hands like tattoos and after taking another look at his hand Kokabiel flew back to his base, Ana and I did the same, halfway through the flight Irina woke up, somewhat confused about the situation and she desperately put her hands around my neck.
Irina: ueh? What's going on? Why am I flying?
Yuuki: Irina, calm down, you're going to make me drop you.
Irina: Yuuki, what happened?
Yuuki: do not remember? You had a fight with Freed.
Irina: oh that's true... I lost.
Irina put on a dejected expression when she remembered the beating she got, and who could blame her, that's a huge blow to any fighter's confidence.
Yuuki: Don't worry, the rest of us will finish things for you.
/////////////////
When we arrived at the mansion, all the young devils were still there and when I entered the room I saw them all with serious expressions on their faces, Even Kiba was there which means he finished his emergency training.
Yuuki: umm what did I miss?
Xenovia: Irina!
After Xenovia confirmed Irina's condition, the rest of the devils gave me a summarized version of what they were discussing, about the weasel priest, real name Valper Galilei and Kiba's past, it turns out that the weasel was the lead researcher in the sacred sword project, a cruel and harsh experiment that used orphans who should have been protected by the church as guinea pigs, Kiba was the only survivor of those experiments and that is the reason for his hatred for the sacred swords, When the church found out about the methods he was using he was exiled from the church but the damage had already been done and also that was not enough because he is causing problems in this city.
After that it was my turn to tell the boys what had happened between Kokabiel and me, needless to say, they were worried about what I did.
Rías: sensei...
Yuuki: I know, I know, you don't need to tell me that that sounds like a bad idea, but trust your sensei, when have I failed you?
Sona: *sigh* so this will be a five-on-five fight, who should go?
Kiba: sensei!
As expected, when Kiba heard the limited number of participants, he quickly stood up and gave me a serious look, He didn't have to say anything for me to understand.
Yuuki: yes I know, you are in Kiba.
Xenovia: This is my mission, I must go too.
Yuuki: yeah, I was waiting for that, that leaves us three free places, Rias, Sona.
Rias: yes sensei.
Yuuki: I think you should sit this one out.
Rias: what!?
Sona: Sensei, there is a reason you are pointing us out specifically.
Yuuki: Of course, but we'll talk about that later, Those who I think are ready for this challenge are Koneko, Tsubaki, Akeno, and Momo, I will give the final decision tomorrow for now, rest, tomorrow will be a big day.
