School is finally over, to be honest, I couldn't really focus on class because of what happened yesterday

But today, Azazel-sensei said he and a friend would clear all our doubts about that

I'm really looking forward to it, everyone seems gloomy after that crushing defeat

Xenovia, Buchou, Akeno, Koneko, everyone is acting eerie. Only Asia is behaving normally, I guess she is just too cheerful to be affected by the danger we were exposed to

After Kiba and Rossweisse woke up, Buchou explained to the ones who were knocked out why the situation we had been exposed was so dangerous

'Unknown'

Those were the words she used to describe it, the force we faced was not only overwhelmingly powerful, but also unknown, and that's what made her so afraid

She was afraid for us, her servants, afraid she was going to lose us. Buchou really is a kind woman.

Gods, Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, legendary creatures, Sacred Gear users, in every battle we had untill now, no matter how powerful the enemy was, we at least had an idea of what he was and what we could do about it.

But against that thing, that human, we had no idea. His energy and combat style were completely different from anything we had faced, it was like being crushed and pushed around by an invincible force.

I guess even devils tremble at fear of the unknown...

We pack our material and hurriedly make our way towards the occult club, Irina is coming with us

"Rias told me what happened yesterday, I am so sorry I wasn't there to help"

Irina didn't went with us because it was a mission for the Gremory peerage against stray demons, the aliance's permission only extends to her when we have to fight directly against the Khaos Brigade

"Don't worry Irina, honestly, I don't know if you would have made much of a difference in the fight, we don't even know what kind of power we are dealing with..."

I say trying to comfort Irina

"I know, but if I could just have helped Xenovia and Asia I would be happy"

"Don't worry, Ise-san and Xenovia protected me, it's thanks to them that I'm fine!"

Asia says it with a smile, Irina smiles back and then looks at Xenovia

"What about you Xenovia? Are your wounds completely healed?"

"Yes, I'm fine, Asia's sacred gear helped me make a full recover"

Xenovia says it trying to smile back at her friends, but she doesn't seem happy at all

Even Durandal's full power wasn't enough to bring him down, for what she told us that thing played around with a legendary sword as if it was a toy. For Xenovia who puts a lot of trust in her power-type combat, this must have been a huge shock

We get inside the club room, everyone seems to be here already, the Sitri peerage and the rest of the ORC are gathered across the room, Azazel sensei is on his desk

"Hey Azazel, how long is that friend of yours gonna take?"

Buchou angrily asks Azazel, she is probably the one who wants answers the most

"Don't worry, she'll be here soon, she wants to clarify this situation as much as you want, so trust me, she will come"

We get in and sit down

I look at Kiba and Rossweisse, they seem fine now but they were the ones who took the most damage in the fight.

"Kiba, Rossweisse, I was so worried! How are you feeling?"
