"My Evil Piece?!"
Rias didn't quite understand Yasuhiro's strange request.
The Evil Pieces and the system surrounding them were fundantally designed specifically for devil nobles, to compensate for the heavy losses suffered by the devil armies in the Great War.
Rias had her own worries.
"Don't worry, I'll only be examining your evil piece, it won't cause any damage. I'll return it to you in seven days."
"No problem."
Rias readily agreed.
"I look forward to seeing you at the gymnasium after school tomorrow."
...
The next day, after school.
Once the students had all left for the day, they set up a barrier to repel humans, large enough to cover the entire campus.
"You're all here, aren't you? Asia, what are you doing here?"
Among the spectators in the gymnasium, all the mbers of the council and the ORC were present. Surprisingly, Asia stood with ORC.
"Yasuhiro..., the President asked to..."
Asia stamred, her hands clasped together nervously.
Yasuhiro understood Rias's intention in bringing Asia, it would be foolish not to use such an excellent healer.
"President? Asia, you joined the occult research club?"
"Yes..." As she spoke, Asia lowered her head like a child admitting her mistake. "The President and the others are all good people."
Looking at the expression in Asia's eyes, Yasuhiro could tell that his past month of education had been entirely in vain.
Also, what was with this inexplicable feeling of having his carefully nurtured daughter stolen from him?!
"Yasuhiro, don't bla Asia too much. Joining the ORC was also for her own protection within the academy. Regarding the club's activities involving us, Asia hasn't been allowed direct contact."
He didn't believe for a second that Rias didn't have any designs on Asia after witnessing the healing effects of twilight healing.
Even considering his feelings, she would definitely still use twilight healing to carry out a lot of treatnts, just look at Rias bringing Asia here right now.
"My, my, I didn't think Yasuhiro would be this petty."
After a month of getting to know each other, all the mbers of ORC felt a sense of goodwill toward Asia, even Yuuto, who was in a slump and confused state.
No one would be hostile to a girl with such purity.
"If I'm indeed as petty as you say, don't forget, I'm not only a holy knight but also a holy sword wielder, and to you devils, I'm an Executioner."
Yasuhiro looked at Akeno with a half smile.
Akeno was speechless. She hadn't expected Yasuhiro to say that.
Usually, in this situation, wouldn't be better to play along with them.
What a petty man.
"Yasuhiro, Kiba is here." Sona, who was standing nearby, interrupted the stalemate.
For so reason, when she heard Yasuhiro refer to himself as an executioner, a wave of hesitation and frustration washed over her.
She didn't want to hear that title, and she didn't want it coming from his mouth.
Yasuhiro was unaware of the complex thoughts swirling in Sona's mind.
Everyone looked at Yuuto as he walked in.
The mbers of ORC were used to it, but the council mbers couldn't help but widen their eyes, unable to believe that this seemingly listless and apathetic person was the heartthrob of the girls in, the so-called Prince of Kuoh.
Yuuto's current appearance was completely different from his usual self at the academy.
His ssy hair, bloodshot eyes and dark bags under his eyes made him look scary.
Yasuhiro deserved the vast majority of the credit for this.
If it weren't for his words last ti, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
One thing he hadn't expected was that Yuuto's will was so fragile.
Of course, this was just from Yasuhiro's POV.
For Yuuto, destroying the holy swords was his only pillar and motivation to survive. And Yasuhiro had directly shattered all of those beliefs.
"Make your move. If I make the first move, this duel will be over."
Anyone listening could sense that Yasuhiro's words were incredibly arrogant. Usually, in stories, the guy who says such things is just a minor character about to face a brutal beating from the MC.
Unfortunately, this wasn't a story.
What they faced now was reality, which was often filled with helplessness and harsh truths. To everyone present, Yasuhiro's words were reasonable because they had all witnessed his overwhelming despair inducing power.
Yuuto didn't say much. He used his sword birth, to create two demonic swords with different attributes, one of ice and the other of fire. He then slashed toward Yasuhiro.
Even though Yasuhiro could crush this attack barehanded, this ti Yuuto was specifically challenging him aka a holy sword wielder.
A holy light shone brightly in the gymnasium, and the Excalibur blessing appeared in Yasuhiro's hand.
The light had a negative effect on all the devils present, they felt a slight burning sensation on their skin just from being under the light.
Yuuto, who was charging forward, was affected by this and paused slightly. Then, as if boundless power was flowing into his body, his eyes turned bloodshot, making him look more like a monster from hell.
Soon...
The Holy Sword and the demonic swords clashed together...
