Your POV

I found myself walking through the halls of the old school house alongside Rias and her peerage. Akeno, Kiba, Koneko and Xenovia were interested as they now faced the locked door before us.

I could already sense the powerful cluster of magic that shrouded it, its sole purpose to block outside interference.

"I never knew that Rias had another piece hidden away like this." Xenovia made a comment while Rias walked closer to the door.

"The Bishop's power was too immense, too strong to let them walk freely. It seems only recently did the President receive permission to break the seal." Kiba offered Xenovia some extra information before Rias spoke up once again.

"My Brother gave them permission to roam the old school building, but they ended up refusing..." Rias's tone was sad as she longingly caressed the door. I could hear how pained she sounded in her voice.

"But still, what power is so strong that they had to be sealed away?"

"You'll find out soon." Koneko responded to Xenovia's question as Rias gained a face of determination.

Crimson runes and magical writing appeared on the door as the spell in place started unraveling itself one by one. After a few more seconds, it finally vanished, and the illusion of a warded off door left with it.

"I'm opening the door." Those words were most likely for Gasper, who I could hear was shuffling around inside.

The second Rias opened the door, a feminine sounding shriek escape. Once fully opened, I could see a coffin stationed in the middle of the room.

"I'm glad to see you're doing well." As if nothing was the matter, Rias gave her greeting while walking forward.

The room was pitch black. If not for the door being opened, not a single ounce of light would have gotten in.

Then again he is a vampire, so this was to be expected.

"W-What's going on?!" Though muffled, his voice managed to penetrate the thick coffin lid he was hiding under.

"The seal has been removed. Now, please get ready to come with us." In as gentle a tone as possible, Akeno kneeled on the ground before opening the lid. Once removed, within the object used to hold dead bodies, what appeared to be a young female was revealed. He had short blond hair along with reddish-pink eyes reminiscent of rubies. His skin was fair without blemish, and white. It reminded me of a porcelain doll.

However, I knew better than to fall for this. I didn't need knowledge of the series beforehand to realize this was a trap.

"No! I don't want to leave! I want to stay here! The outside is scary!" With tears in his eyes, Gasper turned his head around while screaming at the top of his lungs.

"He's got...quite the voice on him." I said in the nicest way possible while cleaning my ears out with my pinky finger.

"Hm? What are you talking about Issei? That is clearly a girl." Xenovia was quick to try and counter my statement, but Kiba came in to confirm it.

"I'm surprised you could tell Issei. I for sure would have thought you'd confuse him for a girl." Xenovia's face upon realizing Gasper was indeed a boy was pretty funny.

"Well, I have a sort of eye for these kinds of things."

"Really? How'd you come to develop such an ability?"

"From anime..."

After my discussion with him, Rias walked up and kneeled closer to Gasper's casket before tenderly giving him a hug. Her head rested on his own as a warm smile rose on her face, and her hands worked to gently wipe away the tears pricking the corner of his eyes.
