"Buchou, what happened? Why are we changing our destination?"

I don't understand what's going on, Buchou told us the stray would be in an abandoned house, but when we got there she said it went off somewhere else and told us to follow her

"I have no idea, we better get ready for the worst"

Buchou seems really worried, actually, everyone seems nervous

Akeno breaks the silence

"We are getting close"

Rias looks at me

"Ise, get ready!"

"Right! Boosted Gear!"

[BOOST!]

But then Akeno-san suddenly stops

"WAIT!"

"What?"

I ask puzzled

"Buchou, Koneko, can you sense it?"

"... Yes, such an intense bloodlust"

Koneko looks terrified, her cat ears are down and she's trembling

"Such a strong killing intent..."

Buchou says it with a nervous expression

Buchou seems scared

"Everyone be careful... there's something else in there, an horrible energy, something..."

Her eyes wide in shock

"Something I've felt before! Koneko, Kiba, you noticed it too?"

They nod

"It's the energy again..."

Koneko answers her

The energy? Really

"Buchou is this it? Is that the presence you told us about?"

She nods

"Yes, we'll finnally see who is the responsible"

"R-right now?"

I gulp down, even though most of us just heard about it now, we are already going to face whoever was able to infiltrate our school.

We run towards the presence

And as we get closer I start to feel it

A huge aura, an enormous and strange energy, what is causing this? This is not normal!

Buchou was right, this is different from anything we ever felt, it's powerful and mysterious at the same time

We reach the location where the aura is coming from, everything is destroyed, walls, cars, windows

And the monstrous bodies of the stray demons are horribly mutilated, someone got here before us.

"W-what happened in here?"

Rossweisse says preparing her magic circles

"Careful!"

Koneko jumps in front of me as a stray demon charges at us

But before he can reach us...

He pops just like a ballon and disapears

From behind him a human figure emerges...

?

Someone completely covered in a black robe with a mask that resembles a crow's skull stands in front of us
