Player of Fate

Meeting the Devils (Part II)

I stared at the old school building we (Kiba, Amano and I) are walking towards behind the school. I have to admit it, the place is well-maintained and rather fitting for the hideout for supernatural beings. It has an air of mystery around it that would make unfamiliar people wary from entering the building.

Kiba finally broke the silence that had somehow fallen upon us "Buchou is here."

I didn't need to ask who her Buchou is, since the answer is pretty obvious. As we made our inside the building and up some stairs 2 the second floor, I can't help but feel a very dark energy. If I remember correctly, Gasper Vladi is currently sealed in a room because Gremory can't control his power and the elders are afraid that this might lead to an accident that'll kill the red head...

How stupid of the elder Devils, for not allowing the Trap to properly train his [Sacred Gear] and use its powers without the backlash of it suddenly going out of control, accidentally freezing his allies in the process. I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts and focused on the present.

We kept on walking before stopping before a specific room with a sign over the door: Occult Research Club

"Buchou, I have brought them." Kiba said to whomever was on the other side of the door.

There were a few seconds of waiting before a voice replied "Yes. Come in."

I followed the blonde-haired princess into the room. The entire room was covered in various signs, symbols and magic circles around the place, with a very large one right in the middle of the room. There were a couple of couches and desks scattered around the room.

Sitting on 1 of said couches sat is no other then the cute little white-haired girl named Koneko Tōjō, the mascot of the school, my former stalker and Gremory's current [Rook]. She has a sleepy expression as she continued eating her youkan. She turned to Kiba, Raynare and I as we entered the room, acknowledging our arrival.

Kiba walked forward and gestured slightly to me and the ravenete beside me "This is Raiga Kōjiro-kun and Yūma Amano-san."

Tōjō nodded to me, ignoring Raynare beside me "...Nice to meet you."

I nodded back, acknowledging her greeting in a rather lazy manner. The albino haired girl then return to her youkan.

"Why do I feel that I'm being ignored..." Raynare commented to herself, yet everyone else in the room no doubt heard her... I'm more surprised that she's not sensing the malice from the Devils in the room, especially from a certain someone. The resident Yamato Nadeshiko of the club, former Nephilim (Fallen/Angel-Human hybrid) and the other Great Lady, Akeno Himejima.

"It's nice that you came here, Raiga Kōjiro-kun." The boss of this little group said behind the biggest desk in the room, looking at Raynare and I (mostly towards the former) with a frown on her face with her arms resting on the desk "But I don't remember asking Yūma Amano-san to appear as well."

"She's sticking with me since I'm the only person that has the key to my house, so making her go back home would be useless." I replied casually before looking at the red head with narrowed eyes, having a rough guest on the reason why she called for me "So, what do you want from me?"

"A bet." Gremory said with a smile, causing me to raise an eyebrow at her in curiosity. I didn't expect that she would challenge me, but I can see what she want from winning the game "The loser has to fulfill the winner's wishes, no matter what it is. Simple as that."

"I know that part, but what is the challenge?" I asked while crossing my arms. A game of chess? I hope not since I'm not a good player and I tend to go with my instincts instead of my head. I'm a bit confident in my fighting prowess, even without using any of the [Class Cards] "If its something boring like chess then I won't play, since I have better things to do in my free time instead of participating in a stereo typical board game that wouldn't help me in the future."
