I Got Reincarnated In Highschool Dxd (Reboot)

chapter 14: down with the fallen pt 4

Rias pov

I sat in the grandeur of my home a mix of frustration and concern lingering in my thoughts. Finn, after receiving a lecture about the dangers of acting alone, had inexplicably dashed off on his own. My irritation was evident as I reflected on the situation.

Me:He just ran off like that

I muttered to myself, the echoes of my scolding still fresh in my mind.

Me:After all the talk about teamwork and coordination.

I found myself pacing the room, grappling with the delicate balance of leading our group and allowing the members the autonomy they craved. The supernatural world was fraught with dangers, and Finn's impulsive actions only added to the complexities we faced.

As I contemplated the situation, my best friend Sona entered the room, a knowing look in her eyes.

Sona:Rias, something on your mind?

she inquired, observing my restless demeanor.

I sighed, taking a seat across from her.

Me:it's Finn. I just lectured him about not going off on his own, and what does he do? Runs off on his own.

Sona raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her expression.

Sona:Ah, the impulsive charm of Finn. It's a challenge, isn't it?

I nodded, frustration evident in my tone.

Me:He's a valuable member of our group, but his impulsiveness can be a liability. I worry about his safety.

Sona made her move on the chessboard, her strategic mind ever perceptive.

Sona:Perhaps he feels the weight of the responsibility and wants to prove himself. People are complicated, Rias, especially in our line of existence.

I leaned back, acknowledging the truth in her words.

Sona:True, but there's a fine line between proving oneself and putting oneself in unnecessary danger. I just want our team to work together efficiently.

As we continued our chess game, the conversation shifted to the dynamics within our group and the challenges of leadership. Sona, always the voice of reason, offered insights into the delicate art of guiding individuals with diverse strengths and personalities.

Sona:It's a balance, Rias. Trust your team, but also guide them. Finn will learn, but he needs your guidance more than your anger

Sona advised, her gaze steady.

I nodded, appreciating her wisdom.

Me:You're right, Sona. Maybe I need to find a way to convey my concerns without coming across as too strict.

The chess pieces moved methodically on the board, mirroring the intricate dance of our supernatural lives. As the game progressed, I couldn't help but reflect on the challenges of leadership and the bonds that held our diverse group together.

Sona's perceptive gaze met mine, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

Sona:You're worried about him, aren't you?

she remarked, her voice gentle but astute.

I sighed, my concern for Finn evident in my expression.

Me:Yes, I am. He's a valuable member of our team, and his impulsive actions put him in unnecessary danger. I just want to ensure everyone's safety.

Sona continued to make her moves on the chessboard, her strategic mind always at work.

Sona:Maybe he just isn't used to working by himself, you know. In a team like ours, where collaboration is crucial, some members may struggle with the idea of independence.
