Chapter 257 - Side Story 44: You Will Be Training

After great red went quiet, being unconscious and all from the being ganged up on. They were about to leave Ophis in her home. But she pulled on Ein's sleeve and didn't want to separate.

"More choccy milk and treats, please." Ophis put her hand out and Anahaat put a hand on her chest. "Argh, dad. We can keep her right?" She begged Ein to take her in.

"Hah, whatever. What's one more loli?" Ein shrugged and they took Ophis with them. Though Ein decided to show their new Loli to Amaterasu and Yasaka first.

They saw Amaterasu watching some hentai and she was mid nut. "Uhhh, sorry about that. We'll see you later when you clean up." Ein put his hand over Ophis' eyes and they both went to Yasaka for now.

Amaterasu just froze there, completely mortified. She then screamed into her pillow and started rolling on her bed. "Ugh, kill me now."

"Heya, Yasaka. What's up?" Ein greeted the kyuubi and Kunou immediately clung to him. "Have you been a good girl, Kunou?" Ein patted her head and the little fox nodded with a wide smile.

"Un! I got a star from school!" Kunou showed her hand and there was a little sticker of a star. Ein nodded at her and gave her a bag of treats to enjoy.

Ophis then got jealous and immediately put her hand out for some as well. "Hmmm, you can't have any more." Ein had to be resolute. Ophis got shocked and she looked down on the ground.

"You have to listen to me and don't disappear suddenly, do you understand?" Ein instructed and she quickly nodded.

"Okay, good. Have this and go play with Kunou." He gave her some treats as well and the two children started to play hide and seek. But Kunou would surely have a bad time, due to losing every time.

"Ein... That girl, she's the infinite dragon god isn't she?" Yasaka deadpanned at him and he gave a self satisfied smile.

"Hah... This is gonna drive me crazy. Numerous factions are already hounding us. Serafall is obviously an ally, along with the house Gremory. But you do know that my people aren't really suited for an all out war right?" Yasaka massaged her temples.

"Don't be too worried, I'd like to see anyone who has the balls to make some trouble here in Kyoto. This place is rigged with railguns that Laplace set up. And they fire off bullets that go so fast, it would wipe you off the face of the earth before they could monologue." Ein shrugged and Yasaka perked up at that news.

"For real? Why didn't you tell me?" She sighed and Ein honestly forgot. Amaterasu then appeared, she was blushing an atomic red as she sat down.

"Amaterasu-sama. What happened?" Yasaka had an inkling suspicion and stared at Ein. She then sniffed something, making her go wide eyed.

"Amaterasu-sama... You fornicated with Ein?" Yasaka smirked at her goddess, her fox-like trait of being a tease couldn't resist.

"I did not! He... He just, you know what? Forget it!" Amaterasu huffed and Ein gave a wry smile. "Oh please, as if I can. I don't forget things, especially if it's such a juicy material." Ein smirked at Amaterasu and she glared at him.

"Anyways, we have a new mascot. Ophis is now a part of our faction, don't ask me how." Ein sipped some tea and Amaterasu looked at Yasaka with disbelief.

"I saw her, she's the real deal. She has the feel of the dimensional gap." Yasaka shrugged and Amaterasu squinted her eyes at Ein.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? She couldn't resist my cookies and choccy milk. I'm just that good." Ein gave a smug smile and they understood now.

"Ahhh, before you disappear like a damned bubble again. Heaven has been asking to meet up with us. The fallen angels are expected to request a little meeting too." Yasaka informed him and Ein was a bit interested in heaven. Especially Yahweh's system. Maybe mess with it a bit with Metatron.

"Hmmm, who are they sending down?" Ein raised a brow. "It's the archangel Gabriel. She's been pestering us to have a meeting for quite some time now." Yasaka was getting a bit stressed with all the shit she has to deal with.

"Gabriel huh? Well, there will be a great opportunity later. Just tell her that for now, it won't be long anyways." Ein shrugged, thinking that the little elf bitch Kokabiel would be making his move soon.

He then stood up and started massaging her shoulders. "This is a bit of my gratitude, you work hard after all." He gave a cheeky smile and Yasaka felt her muscles relax as she got filled with tons of pure natural energy.

She purred and her tails started wrapping him up to get more natural energy. Amaterasu just stared at them and saw Yasaka's lewd expression as she mewled.

The goddess pouted and was a bit jealous. Only a little bit though. "H-hey, I work really hard too you know?" She huffed and Ein chuckled at her.

"Then let me do this." Ein snapped his fingers, connecting their senses as Amaterasu lied down on the couch with a pleasant sigh.

Ein left them a panting mess and decided to go to Kuoh academy in order to give some help to Venelana and Serafall's family.

He appeared in the student council and scared the shit out of Sona. "Ein-san! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Sona put a hand on her chest and caught her breath.

"Oh, you big baby. Get used to it, Serafall quickly got used to it." He rolled his eyes and Sona just squinted her eyes at him. She then coughed, fixing her glasses.

"So? What is your purpose for coming here?" Sona raised a brow. "What? can't I visit here? I like to think that I'm a cool big brother that's a friend of Serafall's and Venelana's. So I decided to shape you both up, you suck as a leader after all." Ein shrugged and Sona was scandalized.

"W-we suck? What do you mean by that?" Sona furrowed her brows and Ein took out a chess board made of Soulium. "Pawn to E-4. How about we talk about it in a game of chess?" Ein crossed his legs and smiled.

The pawn floated and went to the tile he just said, making her quite interested. And Sona has never lost in chess before. Until today that is.

"Pawn to D-5. Now, what made you think that we're doing a bad job?" Sona squinted her eyes and Ein snorted.

"Knight to C-3, you are the apparent custodians of Kuoh right? Then why is there a concentration of fallen angels in this place if it's your territory?" Ein rolled his eyes and Sona was shocked.

"What? How did you know that? We're just investigating that for now." Sona observed the new students that were obviously in their faction and they just went home without doing anything. So she was surprised he knew.

"I ain't a leader for no reason, Sona. You and Rias need to be more responsible for your territory. Or dirty pigeons will shit all over it, capisce?" Ein chided her and Sona thought that was a wrong accusation.

"We've been investigating already, we can't just go over there and exterminate them. The three biblical factions are in a fragile balance. We could tip it over if we go in and blast them." Sona frowned and Ein sighed.

"Serafall and Venelana sure didn't raise you guys correctly. They shouldn't even be able to enter here without your permission. It's called territory for a reason, Sona. It's because you don't know what you're doing." He massaged his temples a bit and would have a talk with them about this later.

She then went quiet and couldn't accept her shortcomings. She thought she was smart and had the situation under control. But it would surely backfire.

"Hah, you know what? Call Rias in here too." Ein snapped his fingers and two Satans appeared as well. Serafall and Sirzechs.

"Wha? Ein!? Why'd you teleport us here. And Sirzechs is here too." Serafall was confused with the red head and Ein made them sit down.

"I called you because your sisters are a failure at territory management. Honestly, what are you guys teaching them? You guys are in the pillar clans, you don't teach them anything?" Ein raised a brow at them and they looked at Sona for more information.

"L-let's wait for Rias to arrive first before we continue our conversation." Sona got nervous, as Serafall was giving her the stink eye. Basically telling her what the hell did she do.

After a few minutes, Rias arrived at the student council through a magic circle and she was surprised to see Serafall and her brother.

"Nii-sama, Serafall-sama. Why are you guys here?" She was confused and saw Sona that was playing chess with Ein.

"Sit down and play, there's no easy way to break it to you. But you guys are failures." Ein shrugged and the two older siblings went wide eyed. They then stared at their baby sisters with scrutiny.

"W-what do you mean?" Rias got anxious and Sona cursed inside her mind. Her best friend didn't know jack shit and it will definitely blow up on their faces.

"Sera, Sirzechs. Fallen angels are gathering here in Kuoh. Rias doesn't have a damn clue, and Sona here doesn't do shit, basically giving them free reign. You know what that means right?" Ein looked at them with a raised brow.

The Satans went quiet and they gave a disappointed sigh at their sisters. "Rias... Sona... What the hell are you doing here? Kuoh is so little, yet you can't even protect it?" Serafall furrowed her brows, embarrassed that Ein had to give them a wake up call.

"You guys, do they have permission to be here?" Sirzechs squinted his eyes and the two shook their heads.

"Hah... Sorry about this Ein, you could've just told us. You didn't need to go out of your way to make them more competent." Serafall sighed and shook her head.

Sona frowned heavily and looked on the ground in shame. If her sister says he was right, then he surely was. Serafall is an excellent Satan that the underworld couldn't replace. Even if she was quite the unique character.

"But, nii-sama!" Rias was about to complain and whine. But Sirzechs stared her down. "No buts, Rias. You know your responsibilities as one of the rulers of Kuoh. How can you manage the Gremory household if you can't even have a grasp on this town?"

Everybody went quiet and there was an awkward silence in the room, except for Ein that was just sipping tea calmly.

"Hmmm, so I've got an idea. And too bad, Sona, Rias. Your siblings will have an even more deeper debt to me now." Ein smirked, Serafall and Sirzechs gave wry smiles.

"What are you gonna do to them?" Serafall was curious and thought it would be nice for them to learn new things.

"My servants are going to train their asses off. They will break them down and build them up." He had an evil smirk on his face.

"That's a great idea!" Sirzechs agreed immediately and Serafall gave a thumbs up. With personages like Artoria and Surtr in there, they would definitely be better.

Rias and Sona paled, Ein then made his last move. "Checkmate, both of you. I guess you're in our hands now, I expect both of you with your peerages after school to be at the front gates." He then left the shocked heiresses.

"Nii-sama! Why do we have to participate in this!? I am really busy, and I am seeing a prospective pawn for my peerage." Rias gritted her teeth, wanting to get more support for her inevitable clash with her fiance who won't settle for no.

"Rias, this is final. You know what they could do. It would do you girls good to learn something from them." Sirzechs was firm and Serafall nodded.

"Un! I bet you guys will beat Sairaorg's peerage and be the best rookie devils after your training. Ein is Roygun's master after all. And you know how ridiculously strong she is. She's the champion of the rating games by her lonesome. Without a single peerage member." Serafall hyped them up and they both went quiet.

"For real? Nee-sama, Roygun-sama is theorized to be the strongest devil. Did he really train her?" Sona was quite apprehensive.

"Of course! Technically, he just gave her a training manual. And yes, it is actually true that Roygun is the strongest devil. In fact, she's the strongest that ever will be. Past, future, and present. She could take all the Satans on her own." Serafall dropped a bomb on them and Sirzechs nodded.

"That's true, Roygun can beat us all up without even using her cracking. She's that ridiculously strong. We just don't have anything to call her beyond a super devil." Sirzechs shrugged.

After school, the servants were waiting for the Gremory and Sitri peerages that they will train with. And Scàthach has been smirking for some time now.

"Scàthach-san, I thought you'd be one of the more unenthused ones. Thinking that they're probably unworthy of your teachings." Shakespeare noticed the excitement of Scàthach and she chuckled.

"It's because I haven't trained literal devils before. And remember, poet. Everyone has limitless potential. It might not be in everything, but every person has something they could be incredibly good at." Scàthach shrugged and Kuku nodded.

"Umu, and Scàthach is the living testament to that. Look at her, she didn't slay gods because of a few months of training. Ein-sama's just damned ridiculous." Quetzalcoatl chuckled and everybody agreed.

They then saw two groups that were led by Rias and Sona. "Took you long enough, slow pokes. You made us wait for your asses." Mordred huffed as she was quite excited to train.

"S-sorry. We needed to talk with our siblings for a bit." Sona and Rias replied, a little intimidated by Mordred. As she destroyed the fortress of the Astaroth clan with a swing of her sword.

"Humu, at least you know. Now, let's go. You won't be attending school for some time because of this. Don't worry, Ein-sama already has it covered." Artoria didn't let them speak further and they teleported, courtesy of Morgan.

The peerage of the Gremory and Sitri heiresses were immediately wary of their surroundings. Especially because they got transported in the middle of nowhere.

Tohru and Elma who already has been bribed with a bag of donuts in her hand appeared before them. Their horns for them to see, and the two dragons' dominant aura made the devils kneel. While Shakespeare, Atalanta, Mordred, and Jeanne was barely standing their ground.

"I am Tohru, some of you are sufficient in battle. But the majority of you would slow your allies down." Tohru's piercing eyes stared down the ones who were having trouble with just their aura.

"What she said." Elma just ate her donuts and commented succinctly, making Tohru's eyebrows twitch.

"Take this seriously, Elma! Ein-sama has given us this mission. Everybody has to start somewhere, even if they are weak now." Tohru snorted and was obviously looking down on the devils.

"Some devils you are, aren't you like supposed to be above humans? Humans in our world would enslave your race or kill you all when they get to know that you exist." Tohru sighed, making the devil heiresses quite heated.

"Easy for you to say, you were born strong!" Rias was a bit our of her mind and retorted, making Tohru's pupils constrict on the red head.

"Hmph, that's what the weak always say. Observe how humans fight in our world. You won't stand a chance against a half baked magician there." Tohru looked at Elma and she sighed.

Elma hid her donuts carefully, wrapping them up in their paper bag. The two then suddenly met in the middle of the field. Looking like they were vying for supremacy as a shockwave cracked the earth. And their mana started to run wild.

"Whewww, they're strong. I'd reckon that nobody here would have a chance against them except Surtr and me. And they're still pretty young, just a teen for their race." Quetzalcoatl was quite amazed and the servants knew that she doesn't lie.

Tohru then threw Elma at the sky, charging up a breath attack. A bright orange laser beam of heat tore the ground asunder. Parting the clouds in the sky.

Elma just swatted it away and wherever the path of the beam hit. The earth exploded spectacularly. Making the devils and the relatively weak servants gape at their might. It was even more amazing, considering that they were limiting themselves to half baked magicians in their world.

Magic circles appeared all over the sky as Elma casted her magic instantly. Blue drops of energy then rained down onto Tohru. Carpet bombing the area that would have surely turned Kuoh into ruins.

They then went back down on the ground, Tohru giving a smug smile at the redhead. "Now, the less able will be with me. Meaning the devils, Atalanta, Jeanne, Mordred, Shakespeare, and Fran." Tohru raised her finger and they all flew to her side as they teleported somewhere else.

"Mogu mogu~ as for me. I can't really take you all on at once, so Tohru called for some back up." Elma looked at the sky and a portal opened. A huge serpentine dragon that was kilometers long appeared from the portal. (pic)

"Hah, I thought that Tohru was wreaking havoc here Elma. But she actually found a decent master. You guys tricked me." The dragon's voice rumbled and she was overflowing with mana.

"Can you do it for Tohru, Quetzalcoatl-san? For me as well, we're just training them in mana usage. You know that dragons are supreme beings in mana control." Elma shrugged and offered a donut. Which was a miracle, as she only shares food with close friends.

"Fineee~ But you guys definitely owe me one. Maybe I'll get my reward from your mysterious master." The dragon glowed and she shrunk to a human. (pic)

"Hello, I am Quetzalcoatl. You can call me Lucoa." She gave her greetings and her giant milkers bounced, showing how heavy they were.

"Ahhh! So you're the one who shares my name! Call me Kuku, so it won't be confusing." Fate Quetzalcoatl immediately put her arm over her shoulder and was quite friendly.

Lucoa opened her eyes for a bit, showing her unique orbs. But she smiled pleasantly at them and was quite surprised by how strong they were.

"Yosh, let's start magic training 101." Lucoa was very lax and they thought that she was quite easygoing.

Elma noticed and she immediately rectified it. "Lucoa-san is extremely strong you know? She could hand your asses to you if she gets serious. She's an ex goddess, but she didn't lose her powers. Her wine just got cursed and she did things with her sis-"

"Awawawa! Don't tell anyone that, Elma!" Lucoa immediately put a hand on her mouth and Elma remembered that it was supposed to be a secret.

"She went Yuri with her sister?" Arcueid voiced it out and Lucoa stared at her with her closed eyes. Putting silent pressure on the vampire.

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry." Arcueid immediately apologized and Lucoa gave them a smile. Yosh, now let me show you how to circulate your mana to your maximum capacity alright~" Lucoa created a string of mana and forcibly connected it to their mana circuits. Controlling their flow of magic that they've never felt before.

"Wow, she could just fry our mana circuits in a heartbeat. This woman is quite the scary one." Morgan felt anxious, as Lucoa hijacked their mana like it was child's play. She could just turn them into special humans that have super strength and durability.

Lucoa then winked at them and they sobered up. The seemingly lax dragon in front of them was mysteriously super strong.

She cut off the connection and they frowned, thinking that they can't be that good at manipulating mana. Her control is as good as the kids with the skill mana rule.

"Ummm, are you guys sure we should be here?" Ardi voiced out and Meteria nodded. They understood that Alfia was there to train with the big wigs, but they weren't really that strong.

"Don't worry, Ardi-san, Meteria-san. I'm sure that we have a purpose here." Asia hyped them up. Determined to be a better person.

"Oh dear, oh dear, gorgeous." Lucoa pinched Asia's cheeks and they began their training once again.

Meanwhile, at the other side. "Ahhhh! We're gonna die!" Rias screamed with Sona as their peerage was having Tohru's so called dodging practice.

She was throwing dense balls of mana at them that would explode like a frag grenade. Cackling as she tortured, ahem. Trained the devils.

"Come on, dodge like you mean it!" Tohru continued throwing her mana bombs and she's got tons of energy to spare.

Atalanta, Mordred, and Jeanne were the only ones who were doing well. Either parrying the bombs or shooting it down in Atalanta's case.

And Tohru noticed it, she gave a smirk to the trio as magic circles began to appear all over them. "Fuck." Mordred tightened her hold on her sword, Jeanne and Atalanta also frowned heavily.

"Make this more interesting, yeah?" Tohru gave a wide grin, showing her dagger like teeth. Lasers of heat then escaped from her casted magic. Their position exploded as the three ran away to safety.

"Why'd we even participate in this. I hate it." Mordred dived face first on the dirt and she was really regretting things.

"Hmph, as if this would make me quit. Sailing with Jason at our ship for months on end would make you wanna die." Atalanta almost vomited from remembering those times.

"Shut up, less whining and more dodging!" Jeanne picked them up as Tohru started pelting them with bombs of mana once again.
