The Esper Devil ( Esper OC X Highschool DxD )

Chapter 9 - The Gremory's Sorrow

After what happened, we all went back to the club room

No one said a word on the way back, and even now we are completely silent

We are too ashamed, too surprised, too angry

Xenovia, Kiba, Gasper and Rossweisse are in another room, they received the worst injuries, so Asia is taking care of them.

Buchou, Akeno-san and I had some major injuries, but now we are mostly fine thanks to Asia's sacred gear

I didn't realize until the fight was over, but not only I had external injuries, it also seems like those hits were able to cause internal and spiritual damage as well, that must be the reason why I feel so exhausted even when I was one who did less actual fighting. That creature was abnormally strong...

No, it's wrong to think about him as a creature, what we faced today was human...  

It hurts just to think about it

Koneko-chan confirmed, it was definitely a human

We were completely overwhelmed and defeated by a single human

"So, Rias, are you going to explain what happened?"

Sona-kaichou speaks. When we arrived at school, the Sitri peerage was waiting for us with the results of their investigations around the school. Seeing our state, they helped to carry the others to the club room, now Sona, Saji and Shinra-fukukaichou are with us while the others are helping Asia to take care of the wounded

In the middle of the urgency there was no time to explain anything, but now that things have calmed down, we can finally talk

"I wish I could give you a better explanation Sona, all we know is that when we got there, someone had already taken care of our job, a figure clad in a black robe with a plague doctor's mask had killed the strays and then he also attacked us"

"Wait, a single person did that to you?!"

Saji interrupts

Buchou nods with a bitter expression on her face

Sona sighs and puts a hand on her forehead

"What was it?"

"A human, with no sacred gear..."

It's true, after waking up, Gasper confirmed what we feared the most: He wasn't a sacred gear user

'I'm sorry Rias-senpai, but the glasses Azazel sensei gave me didn't detect any form of sacred gear on him'

That's what Gasper-kun said, leaving us with no clue of what was used against us

Sona's expression gets more concerned

"A mage then?"

Rias shakes her head

"We have no idea, it's power and how it managed to do the things it did beats me"

Sona's expression turns from concern to one of absolute nervousness 

"I-I see... so it happened with you too..."

Hearing her words, Saji and Shinra look at the ground with sad expressions

"What do you mean?"

Rias asks

Sona reaches her hand to Shinra-fukukaichou

"The reports, please"

Shinra hands her several papers and she gives them to Buchou
