It didn't take too long for me to arrive back at the school, the only location that I know where Raynare might be right now since the school day will end probably around 10 minutes. Now... If I could only remember which class are we supposed to be in the last period, I have short memory lost when it comes to school related stuff, including which class I'm supposed to be with Raynare, so usually just look at the that write it down

I stopped at where I am and tried to sense where the Fallen Angel is right now, which is rather difficult as my sensing isn't great when I'm in my base form. All [Class Cards] gives me a boost in sensing others that have magical energy (or demonic energy in the Devils' cases), not just physically and mentally attributes (the latter for the fact that I can fight in the same manner to the heroes sealed inside, but far less skilled and less powerful).

But there is someone that I've sensed nearby, someone that I didn't want to see right now. How the hell did she knew that I'm on my way back to school? I was positive that I wasn't followed, so did she sensed my aura when I was nearing the school? Well, it doesn't matter as I have someone to 'talk' with at the new school building.

"Kōjiro-kun." The red head called out to me, but instead of looking at her direction, I just walked towards the entrance of the school, ignoring Gremory. I'm really don't want to talk with the red head right now as I have more pressing thing do, such as finishing little massacre with Raynare's death "Hey, Kōjiro-kun, look at me when I'm talking to you!"

Blocking out her words, I continued to walk forwards without looking back before I stopped. And the reason why is because a transparent wall of demonic energy form in front of me before it began to spread wide enough that it formed a box around me, wide for 4 people to fit in it... That spoiled princess, she's really persistent when things don't go her way.

"...Whether I was ditching class or not is none of your concern, Gremory." I said without looking at the red head, way before she could ask me a question "I'm not a member of you're little group, so you have no reason to meddle with my problem or know what I do outside of school."

"It-"

"Don't give me that bullshit about being a threat to you and your fellow Devils in the school." I cut her off, turning towards her now with an annoyed frown on my face "You've been 'watching' Raynare and I for nearly an entire week, even after we had that deal that you to leave me alone if I won a bet, and yet you still think that I'm going to do something to you 'beloved' slaves?"

"My servants are NOT slaves!" Gremory shouted with a glare, a crimson aura radiating off her to show that I've pissed her off... Oh, I'm so scared! "They're my precious family and I never mistreated them in anyway!"

"You don't mistreat or annoy anyone that follows your words." I retorted back, crossing my arms as I stood my ground. I'm honestly not afraid of her, if it's even possible for me to feel fear when the [Gamer's Mind] is creeping me calm at all times "Plus, servants is just another word for slaves, as they do the bedding of their master, their owner, like a dog does tricks when it's master commands it. You can say that they're your 'family', but that doesn't change the truth of their real status: Slaves."

We continued to glare at each other... Well, it's more like the red head is glaring heatedly while I just gave an uncaring frown towards her. It's obvious that the person that would look away is the one that's wrong between us, and its no easy thing to admit that you're wrong on something, especially if you're an idiot hothead that refuses to admit that someone else is right. I'm not hotheaded like a certain Dragon Slayer or blonde Ninja, but I won't be pushed around by anyone so easily.

"...Where were you?" Gremory asked with the face that say 'I'm waiting'... Does she seriously believe that I would answer her questions like her slaves? In her wildest dreams.

"I'll repeat what I said before: I don't answer to you, as I'm not 1 of your slaves." I replied, having no reason to give away info about myself towards her.

"Just answer the question already, Kōjiro-kun." Gremory said with annoyed sigh.

"Or what? You'll capture me and interrogate me until get your answers, or simply kill me because I'm such an asshole towards you and your so called 'family'?" I asked, challenging Gremory if she's will to do any of my suggestions to a someone that's getting on her nerves "You can kill me if you want, I don't really care, and if you turned my corpse into 1 of your slaves after my death, I'll just commit suicide to free myself from your servitude."

"...Why are you so against the idea of becoming a Devil?" Gremory asked, the aura around her vanished as the sign she'd calmed down but I feel that it's something else then just cooling off "We-"

"Have it ever crossed your mind that not all being wants to become someone different and would prefer to die as what they are?" I asked, silencing her completely. The entire story of canon DxD, none of Gremory's servants complained for becoming a Devil as they were either in the verge of death and wanted to live or wanted to become a Devil or because of personal reasons. I can understand the reasons of the ones that were dying, as they were youngsters and didn't want their lives to end so early, but the ones that willingly became a Devil like Xenovia Quarta and Rossweisse were the disappointing ones. They thow away the pride each had in themselves to be and what they were and chose to become Devils... And that's not even the worst part, especially from Quarta, but I rather not think about it.

"You don't understand it since you, heiress of the House of Gremory, lived a life of luxury from a very young age, being spoiled by your rich family and getting everything you want in a silver plater." Way before she could say anything in response, in response to the spoiled part, I continued on with my rant with a much louder voice but not to the point of shouting at her face "You don't know anything about hardwork and effort, where someone has to do something themselves to achieve their dream. While some might gifted with talent, them won't last long if they don't try hard enough to improve." I said while moving a bit closer to her, staring down at the heiress thanks to our slight height difference "Tell me, have you tried to become better then you were before or are you still a little girl that believes everything will be okay, especially since your older sibling is Maō Lucifer."

"I didn't asked for a lecture, Kōjiro-kun..." Gremory said with a sigh, like she's currently dealing with a kid that's throwing a tantrum, before looking at me with a frown once more "I just asked you a simple question, so please answer it."

"And like I said, I don't answer to you." I repeated my words oneck more, refusing to grant her wish once again "So put down the barrier, because I'm not going to answer your question on any day of the week."

All I got was a shake in the head, while I glared at the red head's response. We're going nowhere with our prides clashing and getting in the way, as I refuse to answer her question no matter what, but she wouldn't take no from me for an answer... Looks like I make a deal with her again. I rather not waste my strength and MP in attempting to destroy the barrier as I have a possible fight latter with Raynare. Plus, she can just strengthen it to the point that I have to Install a [Class Card] in order to break free.

"How about we settle this through a bet? Winner gets his/her way in our currently situation." I suggested, getting a raised eyebrow from the red head in response "The game is simply Rock-Paper-Scissors. If I win, you drop the barrier and let me go, while I'll answer your question if you win this bet."

"Who's to say that you wouldn't answer my question even if I win?" Gremory question with doubtful eyes, which I responded with a raised eyebrow at the hypocrisy of her own words.

"I'm someone who hold his end of the bargain if I'm the loser of a game, unlike a certain someone who couldn't even do the same when she loses." I replied, remaining her that she didn't fulfill her end of the bargain last time, while holding up a clutched fist "So, are you game or not?"

"...Fine." Gremory said after a few seconds before holding up a clutched fist as well, but I noticed that she's looking at my fist intently, with her blue eyes seemingly glowing an unnaturally light... So she's focusing her demonic energy in her eyes in order to enhance her sight? What a nice trick, now I should do the same to even the playing field.

Enhancing my own eyesight with [Reinforcement], but instead of allowing me to see things clearer and from far distances, I can see things like how the [Sharingan] does when copying other Jutsu in Naruto, seeing things in slow motion. This is probably what Gremory did to her eyes as well, in order to see what will I pick between Rock-Paper-Scissors.

"Rock..."

"Paper..." After calling out that part of the chant in this little game, we brought down our fist in order to see who 'guess' which of the 3 each of us would pick here... Just as I though, a quarter away from 'reaching the end', she began to open her palm as the sign that she's going to go with Paper since I just kept my fist as Rock...

...Well too bad for her, as she'll be the one that's going to lose.

"Scissors!"

"..."

"...I win." I declared with a smirk towards Gremory, who was shocked at the results but it was expected as she thought that she had this thing in the bag. The reason how I won is simple, I changed my Rock into Scissors just before we 'reached the end'. It's nothing to complicated, just a simple 'prediction' coming true.

Walking backwards until I hit the barrier, I knocked on it a few times to remind her of our deal. I saw that she gritted her teeth in irritation, no doubt a bit pissed off that she lost even when she was sure that she would win this little gamble. When I was thinking that she would back out from our deal again, the red head nodded before she snapped a finger, which caused the barrier to vanish like it wasn't even there in the first. Without saying a word to her, I simply turned around and restarted my walk towards the school while thinking of way to ensure that Raynare wouldn't be able to escape...

A Bounded Field would do the trick, but I don't know how to create one as none of the heroes in the [Class Cards] are well versed in Magecraft to know how to create. Even Emiya has no idea how to create a Bounded Field, despite being a Caster, but I can kinda understand as Projection is the only spell that he excels in the most and Kiritsugu didn't taught him well enoght to be considered as an average magus. The other problem is that, even if 1 of heroes in the [Class Cards] does know how to create a Bounded Field, the Devils here would probably destroy it since they have no know idea what's it's purpose and would think that they're under attack. The only other option that I have is to ask for help from a Devil in the school, someone that's not from the ORC because I don't trust their leader and all of them are loyal to said leader. I got some time to spar to ask a certain someone, but the real question is: Will she help me?

_________________________________________

"...You sure know how to ask for some unreasonable favours from me, Kōjiro-san." Sitri-san said after I asked for her assistance in this possible battle, rubbing her head to nurse the light migraine in her head "Tell me, why should I even consider your plan when it might cause even more problems between the Grigori and the Devils? If someone important in their Faction knows her well and she died here, then the blame will be directed to Rias and I since Kuoh Academy is our stronghold."

"Other then the fact that nobody but everyone in this room would know about it." I replied without any hint of worry or fear in my voice "Plus, Raynare is merely a grunt of the Fallen Angels. I'm pretty sure that she's not that important to begin. But you still feel a bit unsure, you can pin the blame on me since I'm the guy that intends to kill her if she's really an enemy."

I left out the fact that I know Raynare that nobody in the Grigori would mourn for her if she died, thanks to living with the Fallen Angel for nearly an entire week... She doesn't know about human costume and doesn't that much street smarts, so I gave her a few helpful tips for anything. In return for giving her pointers in human customs, I asked her to tell stories about herself like what's her life in the Grigori and this is how I know her better then her boss:

She doesn't have any real friends in the Grigori, since she focuses on trying to gain the affection of Azazel whether by looks or by performing task for the guy. This is the reason why she took the mission to observe me, in order to please Azazel and gain his attention... It's too bad that she has a very low chance of gaining Azazel's attention as he's very obsessed with [Sacred Gears], having no time to have fun with other people. And if she's my enemy, then her dream will never be fulfilled as I'll end them today.

"I'll be asking questions before the fight, if there's going to be a fight, and I'll judge if she's still associated with the other Fallen Angels or not before I extermination them. Sounds reasonable enough, wouldn't you say?

"There's actually something I want to know." Sitri-san started off with a curious expression on her face as me looked over my body, like she's trying to understand why something is amiss on it "How exactly did you eliminate the Fallen Angels and their follows at the abandoned Church and survived, and without taking any serious injuries for that matter?"

"I just attacked them without giving the Fallen Angels and their minions any time to rest of analysis how I fight." I said, which kinda true as I suddenly came crashing from their roof and began killing them after asking a single question, before turning my gaze towards a certain duo, Argento and Hyōdō, within the room that are playing chess against each other "But I have something else to say, I'm a bit surprised that neither those two are Devils. I can feel that they are still human like me."

"Kōjiro-san..." Sitri-san began with a cold tone in her voice, which made me turn towards her direction at her to see a slightly offended look in her eyes "I might be a Devil that desires strong and trustworthy people in my peerage, but I'm never the type to pressure someone into joining my group, even if that person has a very powerful [Sacred Gear]. If they reject my offer, then I'll respect their desires and leave it to that..." Sitri-san said before her glasses concealed her eyes by reflecting light "For that comment, the chances of me even consider your plan is now less 10%."

"Hmm... I probably should have kept my mouth shut on that part." I commented out loud, but the lack of regret in my voice really contrast the words that I said. Even if she doesn't help me with my plan, I'll just have to make sure that Raynare couldn't escape the campus if a fight broke out "Well, I'm be fine even if you don't help me. I'll just have to compensate with what I have."

"Considering that you survive against multiple enemies without any injuries, I'm positive that you'll have no problem against a single opponent." Sitri-san said, which made me raise an eyebrow towards her unexpected response. I'm honestly didn't expect her to suddenly compliment my abilities that she never saw in person, when she thought that I was going to die earlier midday.

"Oh? Where did this faith in my abilities came from?" I asked with my hands in my pockets, getting a scoff from the bespectacled heiress while readjusting her glasses back in place.

"It's not faith, just simple logic. Unless she's far more skilled then you, you should be able to handle her without much difficulty." The president of the Student Council replied, which is true. No matter how strong or talented you are, you wouldn't be able to fully unleash your potential unless you go further beyond your current limit through training.

I responded by shrugging before turning around and began walking towards the door. I'm not the type to tease a girl that she like me because of a single sentence, so I have no reason to continue talking with Sitri-san and I rather not bother the Church Duo that are playing chess right now.

Now, time to meet up with the remaining pure Fallen Angel in this town and find out if she's innocent or not.
