Chapter 398: The Fallen Danger (2)

—

Reya Kusuka was fairly familiar with the supernatural even before she became a devil. Her grandmother was a witch, and she learned about the existence of Devils from her. Through that knowledge was how she met Sona, ultimately leading her to join the Sitri heiress both into her peerage and also the Student Council in the process.'

As someone with a magical background, plus having been reincarnated as a devil under an influential House even amongst the 72 Pillars, Reya knew the average power level of a supernatural entity.

This was her first time meeting a Dragon, more so one utilizing nature energy. She can't say she hadn't been surprised; she was left shell-shocked.

Oh, and he saved her life. Odd how that was just an afterthought. Though she had to admit he looked... attractive, not dressed like a nerd anymore. She could still feel his grip around her wrist when he teleported her.

"Reya,"

Sona's voice brought her out of her trance, as she was touching her wrist, causing her to flinch. She stuttered out a response while Sona stared at her from behind her glasses.

When Reya composed herself, taking a breath and letting out another, she looked back at Sona. They were sitting in Sona's student council office, where Sona sat behind a table as Reya sat on a chair opposite her.

"Now that you've stopped daydreaming, let me ask one last time. Are you certain he revived people? That they weren't simply injured like you, and he healed them?"

"I... uh, no I can't say I am certain. I didn't really pay attention to those two bodies, they may have simply been unconscious, or on the verge of death. I was too busy to notice, and by the time I could afford to pay attention I was already in school."

That was odd of her to say, she knew, as she was a Scout. In fact, her Sacred Gear itself was called Scouting Persona. So it just went to show how influenced she was by this whole scenario.

Sona sighed. "Regardless, healing of that caliber is impressive. Devils would pay a fortune for a bottle of Phoenix Tears, which would have had similar effects to this. Yet he accomplished it quite casually, as you say. Thank you Reya, you can return to your class now. I should go and have a talk with Rias about this."

As Reya was dismissed, she returned to her class while regretting not being a 2nd-year student, therefore missing the classes that this new Sensei was taking.

Firstly, Sona was annoyed that a priest had dared to attack one of her peerage members out in the daylight. Even though that point wasn't emphasized in the conversation, it was still a glaring issue that challenged the Sitri authority in this town.

Secondly, what the hell was going on with that dragon guy? She was slightly annoyed when someone from 2nd year reported that their teacher was late, and she immediately knew who that must be, but that annoyance had turned into gratitude when she received a report from Reya. That gratitude turned into desire, greed, when she learned what he had done against a wielder of Excalibur.

"Just how powerful is he?"

Even she wasn't confident in defeating a user of Excalibur without any scratches, though that's mostly because it was a Holy Sword and therefore the bane of a devil like her, but still. Neji had apparently defeated this exorcist with a touch, and that was just impressive.
