After receiving that attack, The Souryuu got slice into smaller cubes of unimaginable size. The water of Souryuu did not even leak at the cut part because the attack that Oreki had done hadn't registered yet to its body and its slice-up body up in the air is still floating like nothing happened.
Oreki turns around to face the two groups. They have mixed reactions ranging from shock to amazement and admiration. He then slowly sheaths the Odachi sword amidst the reaction of the crowd. With a clinking sound, he fully sheaths his sword.
With the signal from the clinking sound, the Souryuu's cube pieces fell down like water from over the mountain. The sound of the waterfall-esque wakes the dazed group in their stupor.
Oreki did not waste any time as he started taking pictures of the said water in lightning swift while he also did a selfie.
The group watches Oreki in awe.
"Unbelievable.." Shizuku said.
"With just a sword he was able to do that much damage," Honko said in admiration.
"He's so nonchalant about what he just did," Mizuki said while wearing her glasses again after seeing the phenomena Oreki created. She wasn't able to see the slashes but only the opening of the fabric of space around Souryuu and even that she wasn't able to see every opening.
"What kind of Magic or exactly what kind of Swordsmanship was that?" Leo asked while looking around before landing his eyes on Erika.
"Why don't we ask our resident swordswoman," Mikihiko said.
Now that she is the center of attention because of her heritage, Erika could not help but get angry at Mikihiko for throwing her that question because even if her family is from a line of swordsmen, she does not know what kind of technique Oreki used. She can also bet that even her Grandfather or Great Grandfather does not know about that. She then faced the others "Don't ask about his swordsmanship because I didn't even know what the hell just happened" She explained also thinking that she wanted to learn that skill too but she was too shy to ask because she has been a hater since she learned that she's a Yotsuba.
Hearing what Erika said, they agreed easily as they too did not see what happened except for Tatsuya and Mizuki. They turned to the one who caused that attack and the guy was still taking pictures but this time he was not taking a selfie or the waterfall-esque alone. He taking pictures of the DxD group plus Minoru with the waterfall as the backdrop.
This is the first time they took a group photo with the complete members because most of the time they are doing their own thing solo or in a splinter group. This photo will be put on the wall of both the Student Council room and the ORC room.
The DxD group then rejoined the First High Group to talk things out of the previous situation and its aftermath but Oreki suggested that they should meet Retsu and Yotsuba Twins.
The First High Group tensed up with the thought of meeting the head honcho of the Yotsuba and making trouble for them. Would they get easily offended if they did something stupid in front of them because they don't want the Kunlunfang Incident to happen to them or maybe they are just thinking too much?
Tatsuya and Miyuki also tense up because they don't want to reveal to others that they are Yotsuba and likewise their Aunt and Mother don't want to but if there is a chance that their friends take notice of their connection then goodbye to ordinary school life, however, they will not interact much to their Aunt and Mother because they don't want that to happen.
"Are we going to walk there or should I..." Before Oreki could complete his sentence, Katsuto answered quickly.
"I want to see the extent of the damage done by the attackers," Katsuto said with a serious tone. He'll have to coordinate with the first responders and medics to think of what to do next.
"What about the rest of the crew?" Oreki asked.
The First High Group looked at each other and decided that they wanted to pay respect to the fallen.
Oreki stared at the DxD group to let one of them say it.
"We already gathered all of the corpses of the fallen to the Hotel, so you can pay your respect there."
Tatsuya's friends collectively nodded.
"So these two dudes are going to stay with you?" Oreki asked Katsuto as he pointed to Hattori and Kirihara.
Katsuto nodded.
"We have names" Hattori shouted.
"We'll see in a while," Oreki said with a smile before snapping his finger as they got swallowed by the void.

The Student Council group is scrambling to find the sisters of Mayumi in the nearby Shopping mall. They tried to look at the nook and cranny of the Shopping Mall even the Men's bathroom because for god they thought some pervert would drag both of the innocent girls.
They asked almost all the people in this Mall to get information if they had seen them and if they had when was the last time they saw them but to no avail no one even saw or remembered them if they saw them.
Mayumi is walking back and forth nervously in front of Azusa and Mari who are drinking cold tea. Both of them didn't want to make Mayumi calm down because she had all right to be nervous as the current situation of her sisters was unknown. However, they decided that after Suzunne arrived they would make Mayumi calm herself down so they could think of something to find the missing Twins. They did need to wait longer because Suzunne was coming towards them and they noticed that a girl was walking behind her.
"Suzunne's here and..." Azusa said whispered curiously. "She's with someone" Mari completed Azusa's sentence for her. They then looked at each other as they realized that Suzunne had gotten a sniff of information on the whereabouts of the Twins.
"Mayumi Suzunne's here!" Mari shouted.
However, Mayumi did not hear what Mari said because she was in deep thought on how to handle the situation in case she wasn't able to find them and the first thought she could come with was to inform their father. However, she thought her father might have an idea of what was happening right now because if he heard about the 9SC attack then she knew for sure that her Father already tried to contact her bodyguard, Nakaru Saburo.
"Mayumi!" Mari shouted again and louder than the previous one. This time, Mayumi swiftly stopped her musing about her Sisters and Father before turning her head quickly to Mari with a questioning look.
"Suzunne is here and she had someone with her," Mari said while pointing towards the Treasurer of the Student Council.
Mayumi eyes lit up as she thought that Suzunne found her Sisters and not both of them, then one of them would suffice for now. However, she just sighed after seeing that it was just a random girl that Suzunne brought over.
"Rin-chan, thanks for the hard work" Mayumi greeted her with a smile while handing her over a bottle of cold green tea. As for what she called Suzunne Rin-chan well that is just how she often called her.
Suzunne received the bottle before thanking Mayumi for it. The latter then turns to the girl "Who's the girl." She asked.
Suzunne did not introduce the girl but urged the latter that Mayumi was the one she was talking about and that she should tell her directly about what she knew about the missing Twins.
Mayumi eyes lit up again thought that this was not just a random girl, this was a girl sent by the heavens to her. Then thought crept into her that if the information she will receive is bad news like her Sisters being dead or something worse being dead which she did like to imagine. She prayed internally that it should be good news and if not, then she wished it was not something that she thought just now.
The girl then told them that she saw the Twins walking side by side with a handsome man and all of them were on the way out of the shopping mall.
The group frowns except for Suzunne because she already heard about this on their way.
"So it's just kidnapping?" Mari said.
"Remember Mari, The Twins are from a prominent family," Suzunne said with a hint of anger.
"This could lead to them getting experimented if that was their end but I'm going to assume they won't do it." Mayumi clenched her fist in anger and frustration for not properly giving them enough protection. She then asked the girl for more details about the Handsome man she was talking about. She snickered at the thought of someone calling himself handsome because no other man was more handsome than her Oreki. "Wait...no time for that let's think of my sister first before that guy," She thought while also blushing making the others confused as they gave her a pass because she had been having an emotional rollercoaster as of earlier.
The girl answers that she can't remember much other than the description of the man other than calling him handsome and she also reasons that her memory is fuzzy during that time.
"Memory....Mind" Hearing the girl's answer Mayumi murmured to herself before her eyes lit up she then turned to her companion and they too remembered someone who is good at dealing with memory.
They collectively shouted
"Oreki!"
