Limitless

Path to the Summit

With nowhere left to go, Xenovia turned to Rias as a last resort. Without purpose, Xenovia gave herself to Rias as her newly appointed Knight of Rias' Peerage, making their piece count a whopping 7 out of 16.

Wow. Big digit.

Much number.

Amano was unfortunately responsible for her, since she had also coincidentally been appointed to his class having transferred to Kuoh Academy.

Irina had decided to stick with her faith, and her pledge to the church only grew stronger as she sought to change the system within. Bringing order in her own way was her new goal, so seeing Xenovia devote herself to Rias, dubbed her a traitor.

The two parted, knowing not whether the next time they'd meet, would be as allies, or enemies.

"I'm absolutely livid!" Rias began, glaring into space as she sat with her legs crossed across a couch in the club room.

"The Governor General of the Fallen Angels has infiltrated my territory and interfered with my business." Rias announced.

"Rias all he did was ask for a picture..." Amano said with a sigh, on his phone was a selfie with him and a man with brown hair and a dyed blonde fringe holding up peace signs.

Amano was walking home from school with a yawn. He noticed a man walking past him on the sidewalk in a very casual and comfy traditional pajama set, a robe over his shoulders.

As they passed, the man gasped and turned back to Amano.

"You're that Devil that defeated the Original Sin!" He said with a smile.

"eh?"

"I have to thank you. I planned to send someone to handle it, but it was so short notice I had only one last resort I didn't want to use." The man said walking back up and shaking Amano's hand.

"Huh?"

"I'm Azazel, the Governor General of the Fallen Angles. Justice told me he was going to fix some wrong doings, but I didn't think he meant he'd attack the House of Gremory. My apologies." Azazel said, dumping a lot information.

"Uh... okay, okay. I think I get it," Amano said with a sigh.

"No problem. It was pretty tough, and I almost got my face burned off, but no hard feelings. It's nice to meet you." Amano said with a smile.

"What great manners. Do you mind if I get picture?" Azazel asked.

"Sure!"

Amano squinted his eyes as he recalled the interaction, wondering if he acted too casual.

"So... are there really going to be a bunch of leaders meeting here?" Koneko asked.

"There are. It's absolutely necessary after... you know..." Rias glanced at Amano, and as did everyone else.

"Don't do that. I had no idea." Amano said with a scowl, since they were referring to owning a Sin, or two.

"I received confirmation earlier. They are going to make a plan and discuss the future of our races standings." Rias summarized.

"I can't believe it's come to this. It's all so sudden." Xenovia sighed, standing beside Amano.

"Personally, I can't help but wonder what consequences will ensue from such a reveal... should we really tell them about Amano?" Kiba asked.

"To ignore such an existence is... it's just wrong." Akeno said with worry.
