The next day, Issei seems to be more wary than before. His gut is telling him that something is up...again

"What's wrong Issei-senpai? You look like you don't enjoy what you're reading"
Koneko asked

"No, I'm fine. It just that we have a test tomorrow" he half lied

"Don't you enjoy reading, Issei-kun?" Kiba joined in

"Well..."

"I heard you're smarter than you let on but they may be wrong though" the blonde teased

"That's ridiculous! I don't look stupid, Where did you even hear that, kiba?"

"I heard it from a group of girls I passed by talking about you"

"Really? There are girls that 'admires' Issei-senpai?"

"You're so mean, Koneko-san!"

"Hn." Kiba laughed at koneko's response and Issei's devastated face

"Ara, Ara~ isn't it getting a bit lively here?" Their third year senpai said as she comes inside the clubroom

"Ah Akeno, welcome back. Any news?"
Rias' stood up from her seat and walks towards Akeno in such a hurry

"Hai, Buchou. The archduke just sent us a message. Apparently, a group of fallen arouse  suspicion at the Church"

'Asia!' multiple thoughts began to swirl inside Issei's head, making his calm facade show a crack

"Issei?" Rias worriedly looked at him with furrowed brows

"I-I'm fine" she didn't look convinced with the way he responded but dropped the subject

He took some deep breaths and his demeanor returned back to normal

"As I was saying, we will split into two groups. Akeno and I will lure the Fallens outside of the Church, expecting them to think that we'll all take the back entrance. While the three of you-" she paused for a brief moment

"Will go ahead inside through the front, search everywhere for the ritual site then contact me. Does everyone understand?"

"Hai!"

"What murderous intent" Kiba stated with his left hand resting on the hilt of his sword

"There must be a lot of them, This makes me feel relieved that I'm with you guys"

"We're a team, after all!" He smiled towards Issei but then his personality suddenly turned unpleasant

"And personally, I'm not overly fond of Fallens and priests. I despise them" his eyes seemingly lost to far away lands as he continues to glare menacingly

Issei gave him a worried glance and waited for him to calm down, then he saw koneko walking straight to the main doors

"Koneko-san?"

"Why bother hiding? They must have known we're here"

Kiba and Issei immediately jumped beside her, she then kicked the doors open

"Hey! Hey! Is it my lucky day? Three demon trash in one night! How wonderful!"

A creepy looking priest with white hair came out while holding a sword and a gun on the other

"You know, I'm strong, so once I meet one of your kind- he gets this treatment!" He said, gesturing a line through his neck with his thumb

Koneko didn't waste anymore time and made the first move, grabbed the large wooden table nearby and threw it at him
