Exorcist Qualification Exam

They settled into a normal routine after things settled down–both with Rin's new status as a King and his new status as the fiancé to the King of Earth.

Amaimon taught Rin how to handle his new powers while Mephisto kept teaching him spells. He still trained with Bon and Shura trained with them sometimes. Shura also brought Rin news on Yukio since she'd kept track of him outside of Cram School since the separation.

He'd found a therapist that he could actually stand and he was enjoying living in the Dorms. Shura also reported that said therapist seemed to have caught Yukio's interest and she usually left when they started flirting. Rin snickered. Only Yukio would fall for his own therapist. He looked for a high IQ before a pretty face.

Rin was happy that Yukio was doing better now. Maybe one day they could actually interact like normal people. He still doubted the guy would come to his wedding, though.

Mephisto didn't seem convinced of the possibility when Rin talked about it, but he kept quiet nonetheless. He didn't want to be the one to pop Rin's bubble.

With Rin's new freetime, he and Amaimon had started planning their wedding. They didn't need to settle on a budget because Mephisto was filthy rich and so was Amaimon via his talent for summoning precious jewels formed in the Earth, so they skipped that step. They had a relatively small group of people they could stand, so the guest list was easy. The hard part was deciding the date for the wedding. Rin really wanted a Spring wedding, but they had no idea when everyone would have off work, so Rin was struggling some. To turn his mind off of that, they looked at possible venues to get married at. Amaimon loved sightseeing as much as Rin did and they decided they wanted a venue in another country. Rin was satisfied with that deduction for now.

On another matter entirely, Mephisto had had Belial adjust all of Rin's clothes by means of magic. The teen had grown a good few centimeters and was now just a few centimeters shorter than Bon. Amaimon seemed miffed that the only other short person in the group was now much taller than him, but he didn't say anything. His pride wouldn't let him, which the rest of them found endlessly amusing.

Rin seemed to have more of a natural grace to him now. He was annoyed at his brightly colored hair and sharper claws that caught on everything, but there wasn't anything he could do about that until he figured out how to change his appearance using his Love God abilities.

Understanding would come in due time.

Mephisto finally had to tell the Vatican what had happened with Rin and how Todou was no more thanks to him. He didn't tell them about his status as a King, just that he had been reborn even more powerful and would be an even greater weapon than they'd thought.

The Grigori decided Rin and all his classmates should take the test the next day. They'd missed the normal date of it because of a few complications with spies, Rin's whole rebirth thing, and that damned Artificial Gehenna Gate.

With Rin's overwhelming power, it would be easy for him to destroy the demons they gave him without even using his sword, so they had Mephisto lock away most of his powers for the duration of the test.

Mephisto explained that the Exorcist Qualification Exam was the ExWires individually taking down demons with whatever abilities  Meisters they wanted. Your rank depended on how strong the demon was.

For Rin's test, because he was so strong, they challenged him with multiple demons. Rin knew he could at least score three Meisters: Knight, Tamer, and Dragoon. Rin had amazing aim thanks to perfect eyesight and the fact that he was incredibly aware of everything around him due to how sensitive his senses were. Bon had taught him how to be prepared for the recoil of a gun.
