True Magician

Chapter 7

Kuoh Academy.

I walked out of the Rias Club as casually as I entered it, and was now heading towards Azazel's house, which was on the outskirts of the city, as 3rd magic told me. But first...

- "A hundred faces."

From my shadow, one of Assassin's faces emerged, awaiting orders.

- "Find and observe the newly arrived nun in town. Green eyes, blonde hair. And let me know when she will be hung on a cross in the basement of the local Church," I ordered, "Now, off you go."

Hearing me, the facet bowed and disappeared.

Half an hour later, I reached Azazel's house and rang the intercom. The door opened and there stood the Governor General of the Fallen in his homemade kimono.

- "Hello, is this the home of the uh... Blade of Blazing Radiance and Darkness?" I said, blinking my innocent eyes.

His face creased and his palms clenched into a fist. He looked around for someone, apparently Michael, but finding no one, he looked at me.

- "You must be mistaken," he managed to squeeze out a reply, "As far as I know, no one by that name lives here."

- "B-but I was sent to this very address, mister. Are you sure you don't know anyone named 'Blade of Blazing Radiance and Darkness'?" I deliberately repeated and made a very surprised face.

- "Who sent you?!" Azazel shrieked and grabbed me by the collar and lifted me off the ground.

- "The Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind," I stated, and a smirk appeared on my face.

He stared at me incredulously, but still lowered me to the ground and asked:

- "What do you mean? "

- "I think we should continue this conversation inside, Governor General," I suggested, adjusting my collar, "Of course, I'll explain everything there."

- "Then, come in," Azazel said, still looking at me, "Let's have a talk."

Heh. He doesn't know Alaya, but her title definitely piqued his interest. Anyway, the infiltration was a success!

Kuoh City. Azazel's house.

We sat across from each other and were silent. After a while, he couldn't take it anymore and asked:

- "Well?"

- "Oh! Right! I didn't introduce myself. My name is Romani Archaman, a nurse at Kuoh Academy. Nice to meet you, Mr. Azazel."

- "That's not what I asked," he said with a twitching eye.

- "God! How could I have forgotten that! I'm also a Magician," I said, smiling sweetly.

- "Enough! How do you know things that only Seraphim know? And what is the Collective Unconsciousness of Mankind?" he blurted out.

Oh? He even let out his wings and magic. I think he's had enough bullying for today.

- "Well, Azazel. You better pour yourself something. After all, you're about to learn things you never thought you'd know," I said seriously.

He calmed down when he saw my serious face, and he thought about it. After a couple seconds, he did go ahead and pour himself something in his glass and returned to his seat, nodding his eyes at me, asking me to continue.

- "Do I need to answer your first question? Or should I go straight to the point?" I asked.

- "First to the point, please," he replied, taking a sip.
