《Why Did I Become A Trap In DxD?》 Chapter 1 - TRAP in DxD So this is the first fanfic I''m doing, and I don''t know when I''ll post it yet ...... but it will be this week. This fanfic is about a guy who died and was transported to the DxD universe as Astolfo(Fate). Of all the weapons and powers Astolfo has, he will only have his spear (Trap of Argalia). With an increase in strength in your magic and physical abilities in general. His spear will be his sacred gear and his Rider form his balance braker, he would have to summon a griffin but I''m thinking about something else he can do in the future like transforming into a phoenix or griffin. My main language is not English so expect spelling errors and I probably won''t be posting very often, but at least one a week is my focus or even more Chapter 2 - Waking up? () = thinking [] = cell phone, paper and others - = speech _________________________________________________ My head was hurting, my body lethargic, I couldn''t move much but still I noticed something was wrong with me. My body seemed to be ........ Smaller? ...... much much smaller, I could feel that I was holding something resembling a pipe ? or a broom? I could feel a strange heat in my body, and it seemed to be going to the same hand as the pipe? i open my eyes slowly and see a pink fringe, i sat up at a speed i never thought i had and found myself in a strange room, it looked normal, beside the bed a small desk with a lamp on top, a black carpet on the floor that covered a small part of the floor near my bed, a small table with a computer just below my bed. A door and a window with pink curtains, i realized that in my hand was a spear with details in gold very beautiful, soon it came to my head what was this spear, i remembered it from an anime where ..... where... I got up running to the computer and looked at the monitor and saw......... Astolfo... I blinked slowly, and he blinked back. I raised the spear and gave a little wave, and he waved back I looked around the room and saw nothing else. My hair was weirdly comfortable for his size but it didn''t matter WHERE THE FUCKING AM I AND WHY I AM ASOTLFO in novels they passed for a god when they were reincarnated or transported, I don''t know sometimes even demons. So why did I just show up here, don''t get me wrong being that put me here, I had no family to miss and I was anti social but at least give me a hint where i am , or when It was a black blazer with a white shirt... a pair of black pants... .. . and . DxD Now I understand where I am... I''m in DxD, in the main city, studying together with the protagonists... can''t it get any worse? don''t get me wrong it''s just that i literally don''t want to be watched by demons, or fallen angels, you don''t even have to think too hard to know that a paladin and demons or fallen won''t get along, maybe they''ll even try to turn me into one of them, it would be It''s cool to live 10,000 years or more, but literally be a slave or butler (as in Grayfia''s case). I stop thinking for a bit and look at the spear, my arm was already a little numb because of what I think is magical consumption, I think about how to undo it and see it breaking and turning into several pieces of golden light, I go to the door and open it slowly poking my head out, seeing a small living room with 3 doors, a white sofa with a small table in front and a television on the wall. I walked to I went to a door and opened it, seeing a small bathroom, I ran to another one and opened it seeing a very basic kitchen, the other was the exit, I looked around in ecstasy I was still a little angry about whatever. be who put me here but damn it was cool, magic, different races, gods. My house is kind of normal and small, but hey I live alone so it''s ok, I go to the kitchen and open the fridge door, there''s a lot in it....how does this guy make money? Wait what''s my name? do i have to go to kuoh school today? .. PAIN A LOT OF PAIN I put my hands on my head and hold it, it was like I''d been hammered, with a little wobble in my feet I hold onto the fridge door. in short? this body was of someone named Astolfo (obviously) he had a small job in a cafe on the same street, he studies at the kuoh school and is known as the school mascot, apparently rias, akeno, sona and tsubaki are in the second year, Issei and I are in the first year, he slept in his uniform because he was too tired to take it off, he had a lot of homework and he stayed up late , I understand some things now. . .. . .. . It could be worse, I could have been born a lost demon Chapter 3 - School and Problems? () = thinking [] = cell phone, paper and others - = speech _________________________________________________ It''s been 2 days since I was transported to the world of DxD, and I still haven''t done anything else, I did some school activities, researched a little about this world and also started training with my spear, with Astolfo''s muscular memory I already consider myself very good with it, I think the spear would be a sacred gear, I don''t want cao cao to come to me with that crazy plan to kill all the supernatural, but most likely he will and will take a no...if....he accepts a no... Now I''m walking to school with my open black blazer and a white shirt inside, black pants and my hair is in the shape of a braid (just like the astolfo''s), this body is very energetic and it feels like my personality is getting happier and more energetic ..... probably Astolfo ....But it''s not all bad since more energy means more training so that''s fine . When I get close to the school gate, I start to feel a strange sensation, it was giving me shivers, until I saw what or rather who owns this sensation. Astolfo - Hey Hey Kaichou Tsubaki, How are you today ? Sona - Hello Astolfo-san, I see you still don''t know how to use Japanese onorifics, at least you''re on time this day Tsubaki - hello astolfo-san and I''m having a good day I notice Sona and Tsubaki are looking deeply at my ?h?st...I start to sweat a little at that look, not only that but I start to fidget a little bit, I think she noticed what were you doing and fixed your glasses with your middle finger Sona - Astolfo I would like you to come to the student council after class, just to get your documents up to date, as there may be a small problem with your identity Astolfo - ( SON OF A BITCH.... This is more than I expected, as I thought I could run away from the demons for at least 3 or 4 days, just to prepare ) I start walking towards the classroom, a little faster than usual as I can feel her gaze on my back. My pink hair swaying a little with the movement, not only that but I don''t know why I''m doing little hops like a rabbit, as I pass I hear some students staring at me and talking about me. Random boy 1 - damn there he goes again with that cute face Random boy 2 - don''t even remind me, you know he''s prettier than a lot of girls around here Random Girl 1 - Astolfo-Chan always so cute Random Girl 2 - EY ASTOLFO-CHAN YOU COULD GO OUT WITH ME TODAY?? I look at the last person who spoke to me I give a little wink with my eye, turning around and giving a wave with my hand entering the school, in the back I hear 2 little THUD... I think she fainted haahahahahahah. Walking down the hall I start to feel a little bad as all the girls look at me like I''m a puppy even some guys I feel kind of uncomfortable but astolfo''s personality looks very happy under everyone''s eyes, he probably liked to draw everyone''s attention, I get to the classroom and sit down quickly, tbut astolfo''s personality looks very happy under everyone''s eyes, he probably liked to draw everyone''s attention, I get to the classroom and sit down quickly, t I take my backpack off my back and put it on the floor , take my notebook and wait , I look to the side and see Aika Kiryuu with a little nosebleed...she just measured my... I decide to ignore it and look forward to seeing Issei and his two friends arrive, one of them is looking at me, he looked at my ?h?st and then my face, he turns and talks to his friends some thing , just looking at him makes me angry for some reason , the other two turn to me and then to him , doing the same process 3 times later they run to my table and start screaming Issei - HOW HOW YOU''RE NOT A GIRL ?? Motohama - GO OUT WITH ME SO I CAN DRAW THE GIRLS'' ATTENTION I look at them with a look of astonishment and then I say Astolfo - First I''m not a girl my name is astolfo, I don''t think there are many girls with that name, second of all it''s genetics, and no I won''t go out with you I still haven''t got used to my voice, it''s more feminine than some girls at this school, they started talking again but I don''t care and I ignored everything they said, the teacher enter right away , and there goes my day . _________________________________________________ The day passed and the last class arrived, with 10 minutes to the end of class, Tsubaki suddenly opened the door and spoke. Tsubaki - Astolfo-san Kaichou is calling you to the student council room now I can feel a small amount of energy coming out of her and going to everyone in the classroom, getting into their heads, I don''t know what this is but it must be magic , I get up and leave with her heading towards the student council See everything in the next chapte Chapter 4 - Knowing and working with the devil () = thinking [] = cell phone, paper and others - = speech _________________________________________________ Sona - So Astolfo-san I think you know why I called you here right? Astolfo - I do have an idea Sona but ... there are more people than I would like here I was sitting inside the student council room, in front of me was Sona sitting in her chair, Tsubaki standing beside her, the biggest problem was who was next to me, a girl with red hair and a brunette, they both looked like ?du?ts just because of the size of their br??sts, it''s hard to believe they''re almost my age. Sona - Well they''re only here because Rias is the one who rules this territory with me, so I''d like to keep you aware of our little problem. Rias - Sona I would like to ask, why did you call me here so suddenly? Akeno and Tsubaki started making a little tea while we were talking, they did it quite efficiently, they should probably be used to it by now Sona - Well Rias I just noticed today that Astolfo-san here has a huge amount of sacred energy, we couldn''t feel it because it was sealed I believe. But as I passed me today at the gate I could feel a small amount coming out of your hands, I did a little detection magic my sister taught me and I ended up discovering your huge sacred energy reserves The room seemed to go silent as she said this, Rias seemed to come back from his little world when the noise of 3 cups of tea were placed on the table, she turned and looked at me through half-closed eyes, and they opened in shock along with her fish-like mouth. Rias - I understand now... Astolfo-san.... are you an...angel? I look at her and speak with a slight tremor in my voice Sona - first let''s introduce ourselves , I''am Sona Sitri Heiress of the Sitri clan Rias - I''m Rias Gremory, Heiress of the Gremory clan Sona - You could introduce yourself so we''ll know what you are or who, as your reserves of both magic and sacred magic are quite abnormal, even for angels or fallen angels When she finishes saying this I seem to fill my ?h?st with pride and with a radiant smile, I raise my left hand summoning my spear (Trap Of Araglia), causing the demons'' eyes to widen and I speak almost as if I''ve said it a thousand times . Astolfo - You can call me Astolfo I''m one of the 20 heroes of Charlemagne, son of Otto King of England I speak with a radiant smile and bubbling with happiness, leaving everyone there perplexed, when I realize everyone is looking at me I let my spear disappear and with a little blush on my face I scratch the back of my neck with my right hand Astolfo - Sorry I... I don''t know why but I have these bursts of joy out of nowhere Sona - I... I don''t know what makes me more uneasy about the fact that you present yourself as a paladin from centuries ago or your contagious joy When she says that my face gets redder, Akeno giggled (Ara ara), Rias seeing my suffering turns around and speaks Astolfo - I am a descendant of the Paladin Astolfo from France, and my spear I believe is the spear of my ancestor Trap Of Argalia. Tsubaki - Could you show it again? Bringing his right hand forward, he summons his spear, it was a large spear no one could deny, being a little bigger than Astolfo himself, it was white with golden accents, the tip of the spear drew extra attention to the demons by for some reason they were a little afraid of being skewered by her Sona - It''s a very beautiful spear Astolfo-san but let''s get back to what matters, I would like to ask what are you doing here in kuoh and if you are connected to any other faction? Astolfo ( I think I was worried a little too much ..... I''ll tell you the truth that it''s better) Astolfo - Well Sona I''m not related to any faction as I found out about them a little while ago, and I''ve been living here for a few years actually, I came from France to live alone at the age of 14 but I''ve been here many times before. . For some reason Rias seemed to have stars in her eyes, it made me shiver a little but I let it go, while Sona just nodded. Sona - Well then, I believe you know how to use your spear? I give a slight nod and tilt it a little towards my shoulder, like I''m asking why. Rias - Hmm.... this is a good idea you have Sona since my peerage has their contracts and I have to talk to my brother about some things, Astolfo-san you wouldn''t just improve your skill with your spear but it would also get combat experience and we could start to build a good relationship between you and the devil faction Astolfo - (That''s good too.... They probably have one thing in mind but I''m going to fall into the trap as it would give me extra training he he he) Astolfo - Of course I could do that I speak in a very cheerful tone, then I turn and say Astolfo - But how much could you give me? Sona - um... how about 200,000 yen for middle and lower class demons and 500,000 to 600,000 yen for upper class? Astolfo - THAT''S A LOT OF MONEY Who do I have to kill Tell me tell me I wanna eat a lot of pizza today I speak with exaggerated hand gestures and bubbling with joy Sona - We''ll talk tomorrow, how about we meet at your club Rias ? Astolfo - I''ll go then, I''ll meet you tomorrow Bye Bye Astolfo leaves the student council room with great joy, going to his house thinking about all the money he could earn, he closes the door and leaves [Sona Pov] Sona - Rias I was thinking about making an alliance with him ... his reservations are abnormal even for high class angels , besides this can help you with ... that Rias - Yes Sona I know ..... let''s hope everything goes well, I''ll make an offer for him to join the peerage but... since he probably won''t accept, let''s put him at least on our side I let out a little sigh, it''s hard to see my friend and rival in this situation. Chapter 5 - First Blood [Normal Pov] Astolfo woke up the next day ecstatic, the chance to earn so much money in such a short time was something abnormal for him, his vacation was ending and in a week and a half he would have to go back to work in the coffee shop on his street, he did his daily needs and put on a little workout outfit that was basically a black blouse with pink floral prints on its sleeves, a white shorts with pink flowers printed everywhere with simple slippers, on his first day in this world he touched the sofa on the wall where his television was, it wasn''t much but it was good enough, summoning his spear he started doing some spinning movements, it was still kind of surreal that he could move it almost like an extra arm, he took one from his pocket a small note, on it was written To do List ?? 1- Learn the nature of your magic, which element is the strongest in it. (Sacred, Rays) 2- Learn to use your spear in a not so instinctive way. progressing 3- Learn to use magic by spear......Learn how to use restoration magic that demons used in the anime to rebuild the school. PS: DON''T USE HIGH LEVEL MAGIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM YOU WERE LUCKED THAT THE RESTORATION MAGIC WAS VERY BASIC YOUR ANIMAL 4- Learn to use magic without the spear. PS: Don''t do this until you buy a bigger house 5- Mana control, this is very important He''s already completed a good part of his list, he can''t do high level magic in his house, it took him 5 hours to rebuild his wall with magic, his magic is very similar to that of demons which mainly uses imagination, moreover he remembered Astolfus using magic in his Holy Grail wars. Deciding what to do today he puts his list back in his pocket and sat down, he puts his spear in his ??p, he could already keep it loose for 2 hours straight, the mana expenditure was always high and he always thought it was just able to stay for 2 hours because of his high amount of mana, he began channeling magical energy into his body, blatantly stealing Naruto''s chakra training. (Time Jump) (Astolfo Pov) The bell for his last class rang, he put the materials in his backpack anyway and headed towards the occult club room, did your school have those lockers? cabinets? He never knew the name of those things as he prefers not to use them, since he doesn''t want demons keeping an eye on his things, because they use one of those magic that Serafall uses in the anime to watch over sona, he arrives in front of that decaying building... ... Seriously why is the interior so beautiful and the exterior that way??? He arrives in front of the main door and knocks, it opens slowly and a little girl with white hair looks at him with curious and wary eyes... Astolfo (Damn, Koneko is much cuter younger) Koneko - Who are you and what do you want... I talk more excited than I should, Koneko looks at me with those piercing and stoic eyes, she''s cute but it''s kind scary if you stop to think..... Koneko - ........ Enter Koneko opens the door and leaves immediately, I enter jumping and waving to Rias who was sitting at her desk, out of the corner of my eye I see Koneko sitting on the couch eating a candy bar and ignoring everything and everyone. Astolfo - Hey Hey Rias-chan Rias Hey.... Astolfo-kun, please sit down and wait for Sona-san Rias'' sweat breaks out when he sees me acting like a child, I sit across from her Astolfo - hey Rias, do you have any elemental magic books? Radius of preference? Rias - I do, but we''ll solve it later When she finishes speaking Sona walks through the door accompanied by Tsubaki, she sits beside me while Tsubaki stands behind her Sona - Not only that, but we would also like to ask for your help with official demon matters, such as peerage member competitions, peerage training and especially house disputes. We still don''t trust you to talk about certain matters so we won''t say anything that''s forbidden about our faction or anything we don''t think is necessary. Rias - If you want, we can also offer you a place in our peerage, neither mine nor Sona-san are complete and we would welcome you with open arms if you want to join. I stop to think about everything they''ve told me and honestly it''s okay with me, I probably through this contract will have to fight Riser along with Rias, not only that but any suitors Sona has waiting for them.... The anime hasn''t shown one year before everthing, who knows if there was a dispute about them this year, well let''s see if I can get that book Astolfo - For me everything that was said is within the parameter, the terms of hunting lost demons will be the same as yesterday 100 to 200 thousand yen for low and medium, and 500 to 600 thousand yen for high, but I would also like to ask for a book on magic, you see i only know the basics of this and almost all my spells are cast using my spear as base, i would also like my house not to be watched by any devils, i can live alone but i don''t want no one going into it without my conditions. Rias'' eyes shine almost with hope, Astolfo was able to see this right away and was a little happy to be able to help this spoiled little princess. I see her open a drawer in her desk and pull out a paper and pen. Rias - All right, here''s the contract, it has all the demands on both sides, just sign it down here and we''ll conclude this deal. Astolfo - (Magic, so conventional....) Astolfo signed the contract, right after Rias and Sona signed it, the redhead turned to the open drawer taking another paper with her and said. Rias - Well since the deal is done, we have a lost demon for you to hunt, he hasn''t killed anyone yet and he''s low class we''ll give you 100,000 yen on your head..... I''m kidding obviously, just bring his piece of evil and it''s fine .... Astolfo - Seriously I knew that these things were considered monsters but this is too much. Sona - Yes, that''s why we have to deal with them as soon as possible, the magic book I can get from my family library, if that''s all I''ll leave now and let the satans know about it. Rias - Just tell your sister I would like to tell my brother too. Astolfo still with the paper in his hand gets up and starts to leave the room, heading towards the place that is marked on the paper, in search of his first fight. Astolfo - I''ll go, see you redhead, glasses and stoic-chan [Normal Pov] Astolfo finds himself in a forest on the outskirts of kuoh, he has his spear in his hand walking slowly towards the river, he knows he is strong and has an advantage with his holy magic, his only problem now being his lack of experience, he knows he can easily win if he plays the right cards, as he goes into the forest he starts to smell a sour smell, it smell like lemon but stronger and with a mixture of fish, he hides behind a tree when he hears some noises of feet moving towards him, until he hears Vazir - Hmm.... I ... I know ..... that there is .... someone here... I feel its magic.... angel His voice sounded distorted, he remembers the anime the first lost demon that appeared, he remembered that his core was human but below that he was a freak, these things stop horror movies, he looks from the corner of the tree and sees his target looking sideways... He keeps looking at him for a while still thinking.... Why didn''t he feel anything? ___________________________________________ I''m just here to make a comparison of what power level Astolfo is. Low Class - Issei when he started as a demon, he was low class, the weakest of them are compared to humans with a slight improvement, their strongest are considered as strong as the fallen angels of Asia''s bow, except for Raynare Middle class - Raynare is a middle class fallen angel, they are much better than the lower classes, the strongest of them are people like Kiba and Koneko, Astolfo is among them, he is not upper class yet because of his more than mediocre magical control and lack of experience. High class - the weakest dragons and demons like Rias and Sona are here, the strongest being people like Vali Lucifer or even Kuroka Ultimate Class - The weakest are people like Riser, and he''s only here because of his regeneration, even though it''s easy to deal with if you''re cautious, it''s still a formidable power and often helps in battle. Strongest of this class can be considered someone like Diehauser Belial, (my option) even though he is very close to the Satan class he is not there yet, The strongest Dragons like Tiamat or Fafnir are also in the strongest of this class. Satan - The weakest of this class are usually helpers of faction leaders or have a high political power in them, like Grafiya being Lucifer''s wife. The strongest are people like Serafall, Azazel and Michael. Here is where it starts to get complicated as it starts the realms of gods or stronger beings, some others like Satan Lucifer himself are here, as one of the strongest beings in the world, the top being Great Red and Ophis. Astolfo will still arrive at least in the Satan class, I don''t like Op fanfic too much, where the MC starts taking everything off course, throwing everything in the air and killing very powerful people with just one attack, it wouldn''t be funny if I already make Astolfo go after kokabiel to avoid future trouble (one example) or make him start hunting Chaos Bridage (another example) That''s it I hope you like it....... Chapter 6 - Spending money [Nomal Pov] Another day passes in Astolfo''s life, he continued his training in controlling his magic, going to school and spending the day studying. He wasn''t paying attention to anything, he had a lot to think about, his mind going back and forth to the events of the night before, he knew he''d have to kill to live, but he thought it would be harder than that, maybe it''s because they''re from another species? or maybe it''s all the real Astolfo''s war experiences, it was a little unnerving for him to kill without feeling remorse, but he decided to let it sink in, from the moment he allied with the demons he would eventually have to kill, he decided to leave it in his mind simply because he doesn''t want to turn into a heartless killer, his school bell rings taking Astolfo out of his reverie, he soon smiles radiantly and with his left hand grabs his pink backpack throwing it on his back he he runs off with a beaming smile, his pink hair swinging from side to side, and his little white spot falling into his eyes, the girls look at this scene with hearts in their eyes, as he''s one of the only cute boys who doesn''t. is a total pervert in this school, he arrives in front of Rias'' club door and opens it, he walks to the main room and hits a little rhythm, not long after a boy with blond hair and blue eyes opens the door. a, and looks with interest at Astolfo, he is Kiba Yuuto Cavalerio de Rias Gremory. Astolfo - Hey hey, I have a delivery for Rias-chan, could you let her know please? Kiba turns around immediately, hearing some muffled murmurs, when Kiba comes back he speaks Kiba - Tube Well Astolfo-san, Kaichou is waiting for you. Astolfo enters the room, not seeing Koneko or Akeno, they probably went to make their contracts, he sits in the chair in front of Rias'' desk and starts talking. Astolfo - Rias I already killed the lost demon called Vazir, I just came here to ask if you have any more lost devils to hunt? - He says taking the pawn piece from his pocket and putting it on the table in front of Rias Rias - Great job Astolfo, and yes I have a few more jobs for you, things are complicated in the underworld so we keep having more and more paperwork to sign or stuff about the territory, seriously it''s giving me an incredible headache - She says opening one of her desk drawers, taking out a jar, she opens it and puts the piece inside, quickly closing it and sends it through a little magical transporter on her desk, it had the Gremory crest on it, Rias then takes a piece of paper from her drawer. , she takes a look at him making a little hum... and hands him over Rias - Well this one is our priority at the moment, please take a look and let me know if you accept Astolfo takes the paper and reads it Name: Kaira Class - Middle B. magic - fire Value: 120 thousand yen This kaira girl, if you can call her that, she looked like a spider, her paws were bluish arms with hands at the end, her face was a strange mix of horse and spider, her torso was human, which left uglier still, remembering that she was one of his kind who turned it. Rias - Great, here take this credit card, all the money you earn will be given to it. Now we demons are having many cases of lost demons in Japan and Asia in general, the church no longer had as much power for Asia, but recently an incident occurred between them and the chinese pantheon we don''t know what exactly happened but there will be lots of them and they can start forming groups so be careful. Astolfo gets up taking the card and says - AAawwww you don''t need to worry Sempai I''ll take care of myself. Astolfo leaves the room glowing with happiness, he has a thousand dollars just for killing a simple low-level lost devil, he keeps the card in his pocket and leaves school, at the gate he meets a boy with spiky blond hair, he could feel a little draconic aura around him, does he remember him from the anime Saji ? he doesn''t remember very well Saji - Hey you are that Astolfo guy right? Do you want to hang out? I look at him thinking what he wants, it''s the first time we''ve talked and he''s asking me out for whatever reason, probably trying to pick up some girl or whatever, I just earned my money, and shopping alone is kind of hard as I don''t want to be a loner....I''ll play along at least for now. Astoflo - Hum? I believe you are Saji right? nice to meet and of course we have nothing to do .. Saji - Cool I''m going to the mall to find 2 friends of mine want to come? Astolfo - alright let''s go [ Time Skip ] (???) Saji we are here. Looking back we see 2 girls, one with reddish brown hair, and one with blue hair who was very similar to Xenovia Tomoe - Saji glad you arrived, that game store you were talking about has a nice discount and.... hey Astolfo-Chan didn''t know you were coming, nice to meet you I''m Tomoe Meguri, but you can call me Tomoe Yura - I''m Tsubasa Yura but you can call me Yura, and it''s a p???sur? to finally meet you Astolfo-san Astolfo - Yeah it''s nice to meet you too, Tomoe Yura, Tomoe - Saji Sajiiii let''s go to the store soon, it''s discounted and I don''t want the games to end, ok... Saji - Alright Tomoe-chan just calm down a little bit [ Time Skiped ] We''ve been in the store for a while and I''ve been looking at a video game to buy for a while. I chose to take a Playstation 2 and two games being them Gta III and GTA San Andreas, the total price was 25,400 yen, which I thought was cheap, Tomoe and Saji took some too, poor Yura didn''t know not even half of what we were talking about, we left the store with bags in hand and walked to McCronalds, which I found strange since for some reason the name is different in this world, we ate and had fun, i was kind of skeptical about hanging out with them but it was cool, we go back to walking around the mall just talking and stopping at anything that catches our attention, like Yura and a small Petshop, in which I discovered her little fondness for birds,and the clothing store that Tomoe dragged me into, I bought some both men''s clothes and women''s clothes, me and Tomoe took off our uniforms and put on the clothes we bought, I was dressed in a purple jacket with black details and a hood, a white shirt with pink stripes,a black skirt with black pants underneath, with a purple boot with white details and black laces, for some reason I couldn''t not buy women''s clothes, it looked so good on me so meh why not, when Saji saw me there was awith a purple boot with white details and black laces, for some reason I couldn''t not buy women''s clothes, it looked so good on me so meh why not, when Saji saw me there was a look confused and then disappointed that I was a guy, Tomoe and Yura and I laughed a lot at him, me and Tomoe teased him mostly. In total I spent about 43,103 Yen, almost half of my starting money, it was already dark and we decided to leave, we headed our way and headed home Chapter 7 - The time flies It''s amazing how fast time goes by when we''re at peace, I haven''t seen anyone from Kaos Bridage yet, nor fallen angel freaks for war or demons horny for war, I continued my magic control training, also adding a physical training using gravity magic, my affinity is horrible but I can do at least a little, Rias and Sona each handed me a book on magic, Sona''s focused more on the elements and easier ways to train them, while Rias''s was more a great compilation of more spells. more commonly used, like a little gravity spell that pulls or pushes things out of its direction, I''ve imagined myself as Pain attacking Konoha, but I''ve found that this kind of magic is simply impossible for someone who is not a kind of god in this world, as your body becomes the gravitational center of magic itself, meaning your body is pulling or expelling whatever is yours or your goal to throw or pull something, the fatigue in your body is great, but it doesn''t bother you, if you focus the gravitational center only on one part, like your hand, it would be pulled or expelled just like the object, meaning if I try to do the same thing Pain did in Konoha, my body will tear as soon as the attack is launched...... I didn''t sleep well that night The school is going well, me Saji Tomoe and Yura started going out almost daily, adding 4 more people. Aika Kiryuu a girl with brown streaked hair and glasses, a big pervert but she knows how to control herself unlike a certain trio, she is fun to go out with and joins me and Tomoe to tease Saji, she''s an anime fanatic and she talks to Saji and Yura about them... me too but very little since she scares me when she looks at me with that perverted look Katase - ua girl with straight pink hair, she doesn''t use her bow to hold her hair like in the anime, and her hair is much longer now, she loves kendo and we talk a lot as we are private . She also loves to draw Murayama - She has dark brown hair, she''s also a bit grumpy, she looks like bakugou from Boku no Hero talking, giving weird people nasty nicknames, but she doesn''t grumble as much as he does, another kendo lover and oddly enough she loves flowers..... ironic when someone is as delicate as a horse Isao Koji - a boy with dark blue hair, he is tall and wears glasses, he is extremely lazy, and lonely he joined our group when Saji recognized him at the mall. But oddly enough anda boy with dark blue hair, he is tall and wears glasses, he is extremely lazy, and lonely he joined our group when Saji recognized him at the mall. But oddly enough and he''s fun and tells jokes regularly.... as bizarre as they are and so wrong it''s a pity, seriously he sees fun in everything that goes wrong, even though it pains me to admit that Saji Kiryuu Tomoe and me we laughed a lot. He just hasn''t made any more friends because he''s extremely shy. After we started going out, we became known at school. Our group drew attention because it mostly has me in it (obviously) but there are also girls like Tomoe and Yura who have little goose clubs in the male students, almost everyone knows Aika for being a pervert, and Katase and Murayama make a name for themselves in kendo matches. We went out to various places like Shopping, picnic and even went camping once. (I''m going to do some focused chapters in that ) C in that ) Each one more fun than the next, which was a relief to the demons in the group and I, who have more hectic lives than normal humans. Speaking of my supernatural life, my hunt for the lost demons continues, I''m saving money to buy a house, I already have a fair amount, and I''m going to rent an apartment for me. I have killed about 6 stray demons so far, some ranging in money more than others, I have bought various things for my house like furniture and things for me like clothes. me and the demons we have a great relationship since as we''ve had issues with each other, we''re trying to trust each other more, they tell me about the supernatural news and me about some things that I find out, or about my powers. I found out for example that a high class lost demon was arriving here, as he was sent by someone....I suspect Old Satan factions. They didn''t like this thing very much, as to them, demons are magnificent beings and superior to my fragile little race... One day... I will kill Rizevin A few more things also happened, like for example the Old Satan Faction went into an uproar for a few days, and then fell silent, rumors say that there was even a fight between the "Trues" satan, more specifically between Katarea and Shalba. In the rumors they talk about a dark woman and a man with orange-brown hair who summoned insects. You don''t have to be a Genius to know who they are. Now I''m going to the student council, to meet Sona and Rias, apparently they called me for a heavier job, which is I don''t know but it shouldn''t be easy..... Chapter 8 - the mission of the saint Sona was looking at me with those piercing eyes again...and if Rias is silent then this thing must have some bigger impact. Sona - Astolfo-san I''m here to give you a mission ?ssigned to you by Satan Lucifer, if you accept , I will give you the details and you will be able to choose what we will pay for you. Rias - Astolfo-san you have to understand one thing, the territory you''re going to is forbidden to us, so we won''t send help even if you need it. Astolfo widens his eyes with these last words, he already understood that if he accepts he will go to another faction an enemy.... the price of it... ( Ahhhh I''m going to make so much money ) Astolfo - If it''s not the Hindu faction then it''s ok, I want to know what I''m going to do there, what''s the purpose and how long will i stay there. Sona - We will first send you to Italy, more specifically the Vatican, we received the news that ah a group of lost demons near the Vatican, Lucifer-sama contacted Michael and he contacted the church,you will join 4 people from the church, as you are not a devil they let you sleep in a church on the outskirts of the Vatican, the lost devil group must be about 20 high class, 29 middle class and the problem is the lower classes, we are encouraging more than 50 of them Astolfo - Low class ? wouldn''t they be the easiest? even with them having more numbers a mass attack should take care of them. - Astolfo speaks with a bit of concern about this mission, since this is just the first part. Rias looks at Astolfo and he could see a small sign of worry behind his eyes - The problem is they''re in different locations, and with that large number they can do quite a bit of damage before we kill them all, and people like Dulio, Griselda even Vasco won''t really participate, as they have other missions, more dangerous or more important. Astolfo felt a bit offended as it sounded like they were talking about animals instead of him. Sona - If you get it, you can ask for a very big reward, as this will improve the relationship with the church and the Angels, while preventing a probable mass genocide, that would cause the other factions not only that but other factions would also not be happy if humans die en masse from our internal problems. Astolfo - Alright .... what else do I have to do ? Rias - After that you will go to Romania as the Tepes faction has gained a certain power boost and we want to confirm what that power boost is. You will also have to collect information if possible. As soon as you end up in Romania, you''ll go back to Japan and go underground with the two of us and talk to the Satans about these discoveries. Sona - Try to find out with the people of the church, why so many lost demons have gathered without anyone seeing or knowing them. Astolfo I was a little skeptical about this mission, he''s almost high class and that would be good for him, but going to Romania has its pros and cons, as he can get the Holy Grail, but it will to fight against King Tepes and Marius Tepes, a Satan-class Vampire and an Ultimate-class Vampire, against these two he knows he will die. Astolfo - Alright I will go on this quest but remember, if my life is in danger I will come back as soon as possible. I will not sacrifice myself for this mission. With those last words he gets up and starts to leave the school.... He has a lot to prepare Chapter 9 - The Paladin and the Church Astolfo had been walking around Rome for a while now, he liked the vibe of the place and it was surprisingly cheerful... For a city that will be in chaos in a little while.... He had already got the address of the church where he should be staying, wearing a big purple jacket, an all white shirt inside, black pants and black boots (he decided not to put the skirt over it), he walked towards the church that he has to stay, from what he found out it was very close to the Vatican, he could clearly feel the exorcists passing by him or in the buildings, they didn''t have much holy magic, but you can see the unlike them to normal humans, the city looked clean and inviting, letting out a small yawn Astolfo finds himself sleepy, the flight was long and tiring, luckily he would have to find the Father only tomorrow, they had to discuss what to do and who would kill the lost demons... just thinking about the work he had a headache He knew that Rias and Sona were very busy, he never thought that simply allying with them would cause such a bu??erfly effect, Serafall already warned Sona that the ancient Devil Faction isHe knew that Rias and Sona were very busy, he never thought that simply allying with them would cause such a bu??erfly effect, Serafall already warned Sona that the ancient Devil Faction is behind causing chaos, they probably want my head too. Their pride is something at least, they sure didn''t like the idea of ??teaming up with a humble little human, even the gods aren''t that proud... I''m just waiting for them to send someone to kill me Arriving Arriving at the church he can stay he sees how it is, and it is simple cozy and radiates an immense holy energy, he enters and sees a room with long pews a cross behind hanging on the wall, the windows are decorated with curtains. He could see a man in white and green colored priest''s robes, he had some wrinkles on his face, and his hair was short black colored, he turns and sees Astolfo standing there looking at the church, his eyes widening at the amount of Holy Magic coming from Astolfo. ??? - Hello what can I help child? Astolfo - HI HI I''m Astolfo and I have a one-way ticket to sleep here Sir???? The man''s eyes widen once more knowing that what he thought would be a demon that would stay here actually has this great amount of holy magic - You can call me IvThe man''s eyes widen once more knowing that what he thought would be a demon that would stay here actually has this great amount of holy magic - You can call me Ivan Are you a demon Sir Astolfo? Astoflo - Demon ? Ohhh no no no, You can call me Astolfo I''m one of the 20 heroes of Charlemagne, son of Otto King of England - He didn''t notice the priest''s astonished face when he knew who technically he was, as his eyes were closed and his charismatic smile was shining brightly. (as well as a certain beast green of a certain village). Ivan - If .... you are a Paladin...... Why ..... you are with the demons... Astolfo - Well you see I live in the same city as some of them, I''m not affiliated with the church so we''re doing a deal, I''m tricking them into giving me mon-AHEM I.... mean eehhhh a mutual benefit partnership Yes fully mutual, i kill some stray demons, they make me rich.... i mean pay my bills? ..... you understood technically they found me first Ivan - Let''s talk tomorrow I can see that you are very sleepy, your journey must be tiring and we have work to do, wake up at 9 am preferably, as we will receive the exorcists here at 10:30 so you have plenty of time to pack and eat ..... profavor follow me so i can show you your room Astolfo and Ivan they walked around the church talking about random things, Ivan was a relaxed guy and from what I could see he had no prejudice against other races, as Xenovia had with demons, he had 43 years old and because of the magic he was at his peak of power, his face looks normal taking out a small burn scar under his right eye, his black hair has streaks of white threads and he was respectful for some reason They arrived in the room and said goodbye, Astolfo took his shower and went to bed, thinking of the terribly tiring day he will have tomorrow. Chapter 10 - Trap Of Argalia Vs Excalibur The next morning Astolfo woke up with a headache from today, for some reason he had this strange feeling that his day would be more difficult than necessary. He quickly got up and got ready, putting on the same clothes as yesterday since it was really clean, he compliments Ivan and they ate together, Ivan led Astolfo to his office, it was small and cramped but very tidy, they talk about some useless things, mainly about Astolfo and his family, he doesn''t remember a lot of them, but he knew his mother had light pink hair and his father a dark brown hair. Ivan also showed on a small map where each group of lost demons was, they don''t know how many more there are as they are in a populated area using sheds or bad terrains home. By the illusion level being used they know there is at least 1 High Class demon that knows intermediate level magic. This is worrying as mass attacks can be launched in the city killing civilians. Ivan - As you can see they are separated into 5 different groups, the 2 of us plus the other exorcists will take this one - He says pointing to the map, the location is a baudio land on the outskirts of rome, it doesn''t seem to have many houses around it, just a small factory more than 300 meters away. Astolfo - Well it''s good that we''re away from the city... my attacks can be a little destructive hahahahaha - Astolfo had already noticed his personality change with each passing day he starts to look more and more like Astolfo from Fate, his taste in clothes, his kindness and joy. He didn''t care to be honest, if not for this change he would probably be once again a loner only in this life he would be a beautiful loner ..... Ivan was about to talk but a small knock on the door disturbed him, he gave permission to enter and along with an altar boy, 4 different people came, the altar boy leaves the room and goes back to doing his duties. The four Exorcists who entered were unique though Carlos - A tanned man with black hair and eyes, his build was strong and wore his hair in a sloppy ponytail, he was tall very very tall, he wore a Hawaiian shirt and jeans, he also wore a little black shoe that I had never seen. Gianna - A white woman with flashy golden hair, she wore a plain white blouse and a black skirt that came close to her ankles, she gave a feeling of innocence, her green eyes flashy didn''t help either she is extremely beautiful. She had a sword wrapped in cloth slung across her back. Now the last two caught Astolfo''s attention the most, a girl with sky blue hair and green streak, wearing a blue blouse the color of her hair and black pants and sneakers, her stoic face looking at the upholstery intently. While the other is a blonde girl with a crown cut, sky blue eyes and a strange outfit. Asfolfo - ( these two are Xenovia and Jeanne ? Xenovia I understand but what is the French doing here? ) Gianna - Ms. Ivan, sorry for the delay but we had to pick up Miss Jeanne at the airport - she says in a respectful way and with a slight smile on her face Ivan - It''s okay Gianna, everyone this is Asfolfo, he''s our guest and our help in this difficult situation we find ourselves in. Carlos gives a gentle smile and shakes my hand - I''m Carlos, nice to meet you - We all talked a little and introduced ourselves I kept an eye on Jeanne and Xenovia , one was very quiet and the other was staring at me. They asked if I was a demon, I could have sworn that a small intention to kill came out of Xenovia, but I ignored it and replied saying no and yes that I was a Paladin, which surprised everyone there . Jeanne - Wait are you a Paladin? So why are you with the demons? - I went on to explain that I wasn''t with them and just a mutual business, and that I just wasn''t at church because I don''t like be ordered by anyone. Xenovia - I would like a fight with you. And it came out of nowhere, the conversation we were having stopped like a car hitting a wall. We all looked at her with a face asking why. Xenovia - I would just like to check your power level, we are all Middle class, Miss Jeanne is almost High Class so it must be good to see what each one can do. - We looked at her for a while, then we looked in between Asfolfo - That''s fine by me, but then we better figure out how we''re going to kill the demons. The group then leaves the room, heading towards the garden, the garden was big with some trees at the end and a small plain in the middle. Gianna soon prepares a barrier while Xenovia and Asfolfo go to opposite sides of the plain and face each other Xenovia - In the name of God, I challenge you in a duel. - She speaks taking a thing around bandages from her back, removing the bandages is a sword that releases a holy Aura Asfolf then gives a small smile, with his left hand raised small particles of light begin to join together, forming your spear. - Ohoo ? So it''s like that, alright then. In honor of Charlemagne, I Asfolfo one of the Twelve Paladins, known as Rider Of Black, accepts your challenge. - Carlos Ivan Gianna Jeanne - ( .....) They look at this scene r?p?d and ask. Carlos Ivan Gianna Jeanne - Why do I get so serious... out of nowhere? Asfolfo does not respond to them and runs forward, Xenovia also did not respond and ran towards him. Astolfo taking advantage of being faster and shorter than Xenovia, still with the spear in his left hand he waves his spear horizontally Xenovia with your sword being held by your two hands, stop the movement of the spear with your sword making little sparks fly through the air, sliding the sword through Astolfus'' spear to get closer to him. Astolfo seeing Xenovia''s attack he makes his spear use his Special ability, causing his spear to change trajectory, a little lower than before and leaning closer to Xenovia''s body,and with a quick move he hits Xenovia''s rib with the middle of his spear. Xenovia regains her stance and lunges for Astolfo, but he jumps back and waves his spear at Xenovia, making a cut in the air fly towards Xenovia { this cut is made of energy sacred, just like Zoro or Mihawk... only with the spear and much weaker}. Xenovia Uses some holy energy on her sword and easily defends the cut, dispelling it into the air. As she dissipates the cut Astolfo runs towards Xenovia, making his first move again but this time his spear has a faint golden glow. Xenovia notices this little glow and instead of defending it crouches and passes the spear, cutting towards Astolfo. Astolfo uses his spear to stop Xenovia''s attack, unleashing more sparks on the Air Jeanne - Astolfo knows how to handle a spear of that size, and the sacred energy coming out of it is incredi.... clenk... clenk clenk.... clenk... They continued to fight, both showing a proficiency in handling their weapons. Astolfo stabs the tip of his spear into the ground, and using magic on his legs he jumps using his spear as a pole and gives a two-foot flying knot in the middle of Xenovia''s ?h?st, making her fall backwards a knot in the middle of Xenovia''s ?h?st, making her fall backwards, she lets go of her sword on impact, Astolfo still in the air takes the tip of his spear from the ground, he spins it with his left hand 360 degrees and delivers a blow to the side of Xenovia''s head causing some land to be destroyed and fly to the sides...... Astolfo - Eyyyyy beauty always come here? - he says with a crooked smile and raising his eyebrows repeatedly, he ignores Xenovia''s red and embarrassed face, taking his spear from the ground he get up and walk away towards the spectators { it was little, yes but I only described part of the fight, in total they fought a 2 minute exchange, but what I wrote is only a few seconds of the fight as their speed would be many times more faster than normal humans. and I won''t describe every sword stroke (¡ä-©n-`;)} Gianna - He managed to embarrass Xenovia... Unbelievable... Carlos - I need to get some tips fro AAACK - He started talking until he was pinched by Gianna who was beside him Astolfo - All riiiiiiggggghhhhhttt , let ''s go let ''s go we ''ve got to discuss a lot. Xenovia he was red in the face without knowing why. Chapter 11 - Tour and Training By the end of the day we were talking normally, I had thought they would hate me since I''m with the demons but who knew they would be friendly. Very friendly but they won''t let me by myself, I mean this is normal since this is their territory and stuff, they have to keep an eye on anyone They also asked me a lot of questions, but mostly Carlos and Jeanne. Since my sacred energy reserves and my spear draw a lot of attention. They even invited me to join the church I would even join and all...if I wasn''t corrupt, since I''m ?ssociated with demons the moment I set foot in the Vatican, I would have already been cut into 10 different pieces. Xenovia also brought a letter from the Pope himself, from what I understand in the night she told the church about my sacred energy and they want to see it for themselves, speaking of which she has avoided my gaze After my little maneuver in the fight, Jeanne Carlos and I formed a trio of devil children, as Ivan says. Since we talked and teased (especially Xenovia). Carlos and Gianna help in the church afternoon while Ivan talks to the devotees, the other three train a bit until the day is over We spent 3 days at the same time every day at dawn we talked about the plan and how we''re going to get it over with quickly. Today at night we''re going to the Vatican I don''t know why since when I got here they told me I couldn''t even get close, I called Rias and she said everything was fine then.... Why not. Gianna and Xenovia will also take me and Jeanne out since they want to show us the city, Carlos will also go but he''s already from here so he''s not as excited as the two immigrants. I have also trained with Xenovia and Jeanne and to say that they are both geniuses is not enough, Jeanne has a mastery with her spear that few have while Xenovia if she stops with the idea of ??(force equals) she''s even better, but when we tried to teach her she just said that Xenovia - I''d rather see things squish - she also blushed when she said that... it scared me and Jenne a Lot..... Gianna and Xenovia were showing us the city and I must say, I am suffering from this heat. Jesus why is this country so hot???. But from what I''ve seen the Food is good and the Parks they have here are wonderful, we had a little spar in a park and we ended up cutting down a tree. Saying we ran two blocks was mere knowledge and you have no proof. We also went to a shopping mall as Xenovia wanted to buy some things . Speaking of clothes, I was with a long-sleeved black blouse, white shorts that went to my knees, a red sneaker, I also had a red beret. My hair was the same way it always was the only difference is my hair was looser so a lock ended up falling on my face covering my beautiful left eye. Gianna also asked to leave my Spear outside and that I would just have to hide it with magic, as they consider it important to have it in case of an attack, she was strapped to my back, everyone was the same. We ate ice cream, walked aimlessly, passed some historical points until it was late in the afternoon, we decided to come back, we also passed near the street of lost demons, and the barrier around it. that damned deposit is immeasurable. At night we got back together and Gianna Jeanne Xenovia and I decided to train some more, while Carlos and Ivan went to the Vatican they apparently had to get permission so that I can enter not only there. but probably hiding important things too "so the demons don''t steal" Asfolfo - Alright, I need to train with my spear since it has been giving me this tingle for days, I''ll also work on my magic what are you going to do? - he asked already taking his spear, he was wearing a black sleeveless blouse that exposed his belly in an Adidas workout shorts. Jeanne - I have to improve my speed and strength... Asfolfo why do you wear men''s and women''s clothes? Gianna - I''m going to train my healing and holy magic a little bit so if you get hurt please come to me Asfolfo - Alright so let''s start training...and because I just like how women''s clothes look on me. - he whispered, just enough for them to hear Each one went to one side of the garden, I''ve been having trouble with my spear these days, as I train the controller to not spend as much magic at once, the controller is always good as you spend less magic for stronger magic. that would normally spend a lot more. My spear seems to use less and less magic, the only weird side is that if I put more magic that it asks for it starts to pick up more and more, my body starts to go numb and it starts to itch with if something wanted to come out. So I started doing that and letting more and more magic unleash on her I let go and let go more and more magic on my spear, until all of a sudden my body gave off a little golden glow drawing the attention of the girls who were training. He was dressed in a White Cloak with fur on the collar of his neck, a Black mail armor with a small br??stplate with red and gold details, his hands were wearing white medieval armor-style metal gloves, his feet were wearing white medieval boots in black knee-length socks, it also had a small skirt in the style of white medieval armor and a gold colored feel. Asfolfo Xenovia Jeanne and Gianna - .....WHAT THE FU..... { in the comments is your armor } Chapter 12 - Balance Braker e Mordred ? Astolfo had even thought that something was wrong, his body seemed light but he could feel his sacred energy being pulled at such speed that he was startled, Then he heard the scream of girls he immediately stopped pouring his magic into the spear. He staggered a little and fell to his knees, using his spear for support his head went a million trying to think what happened, he he felt very powerful and he didn''t understand much, he snapped out of his reverie when he felt a hand on his shoulder, when he turned his head he saw Xenovia crouched with a worried look Jeanne and Gianna were right behind also worried. Xenovia - Astolfo what the hell is that, what armor was that and you Okay??? Astolfo looked at her a bit and said still with a downcast look - I''m fine....but armor? what armor? - Jeanne - You were like... wearing chain mail and... medieval armor only halfway through ????? Gianna and Xenovia - You looked like a Paladin They talk a little more and read explain his appearance, he recovered after a few moments and went back to training, he always had in his head why he didn''t have the armor that Astolfo but now he has discovered why it is simply his Balance Braker. From the strength he felt when he entered this state he most likely entered the High-Class Rank. He has to train more if want to use it in battle, since the expense was so much that in a matter of seconds he almost fell unconscious for lack of magic!!!!! _________________________________________________ Vatican He always wanted to be in the Vatican, the place is beautiful and his aura feels cozy. It seems that any being with sacred energy can feel good just stepping close to him when you are inside. It''s almost like you''re under a very fluffy and warm blanket all the time. I showed the entrance card and everything was fine, our group was walking in silence, I''ve never seen Jeanne so serious.... We entered a spacious room that had several statues around it, I had to hide my shock when I saw one that had Arthur Pendragon, specifically the male form. He was holding an Excalibur pointed towards the middle of the room...I also saw other characters like Mordred himself. Aka my favorite character from Fate.He wasn''t pointing his sword in the middle, he had it pinned to the ground. He was in her female form but what caught my attention was the small red glow that came out of her eyes. It seemed to be following me as I walked around the room but no one said anything so it must be imagination. The walls were decorated like castles in the Middle Ages. A Priest that was giving off an aura more than unsettling was on top of the pulpit, with several exorcists sitting on the sides, i could feel the gaze of several of them on me...., i could even feel someone looking directly at my back or more specifically my spear..... We bent down to the priest and sat down on one of the many benches inside, the priest took a little look at me and I could almost feel him su?k?n? my soul from just that. he waved the head and began to speak....he said prayers and blessings to many exorcists there, also asked about many cases of requested demons across the country and even from some neighboring countries. Me I understood that it was more like a meeting to discuss what to do and to learn what is happening within the church''s territory. Ivan talked about the requested demons that we are going to hunt tomorrow, and that everything is ready, the last days I will spend here will be more for formalities and tourism. Contrary to what my heart was saying, my brain also seems to have no control and simply spoke with happiness and childishness - My Spear is called the Trap Of Argalia, it has the power to go against any form of regenerative power since it not only hits the physical body but also the soul of my enemy, not only that but it can also purify the soul of the people I choose, and about her being powerful... Of course she is, she is mine after all hehehe....- { his spear doesn''t do that in the Fate series... it''s just that I thought it was better to put it that way than the original } Xenovia was amazed at how happy I talked about a spear, then scared as she heard about what it can do, she remembers how close she came to being hit in the head The priest looked at Astolfo intensely as this spear was known to all members of the church, the exorcists around him were silent but his eyes were bulging as much as possible. The priest was also shocked by this, but decided not to say anything as the Blessed weapons as he liked to call it, chose their bearer and would die with it in battle, it was like that with all the Sacred Swords or Excaliburs, some weapons like the Joan of Arc spear that is in Jeanne''s possession passed from descendants to descendants this is most likely how the Spear Trap of Argalia fell into Astolfo''s hands. The priest nodded and asked some more questions, soon after he called some people who were among the exorcists, he said some things about swords and that they would choose their bearer today, honestly Astolfo paid no attention at all. He called some priests from behind the Altar, who came with some briefcases, and he showed them 2 Excalibur Fragments. More specifically Excalibur Rapidly and Excalibur Transparency The serimonia continued the priest called the names of the chosen ones to try to wield the swords, little by little the line was falling and falling and... falling down Jeanne as always laughed in my face and said that statues don''t do that, but Carlos seemed to have seen a ghost, his face turned white sweat started to appear on his forehead, he looked at me with a startled face and looked at the Statue, he turned and went to the priest and Ivan who was just discussing some things. Everyone got kind of weird since they didn''t know what was going on... The priest and Ivan listened to what Carlos said, so again they looked at the Statue of Mordred and at me, the priest ran into a room that was beside the altar, while Ivan and Carlos came to our group. Ivan - Astoflo You can''t get out of here until we tell you, got it? .... we have to discuss something with the Pope Chapter 13 - The Knight of Betrayal. Astolfo Pov We didn''t understand anything... we sat on one of the benches that was beside us, Gianna Carlos and Xenovia asked me if I did something... which I said is obviously not the only thing that what happened was the strange glow on the statue.... Ivan and Padre returned with a figure that I would describe as strange! the person clearly used high-level magic to make his body almost made of static, his eyes glowed in blue and seemed to hold a kind of staff, he hit the ground in sync with his feet. Did they reach our group and the person? looked at me, then looked at the Statue of Mordred... the person continued to look at the Statue until Ivan started talking. Ivan - Astolfo what you will hear now is a Secret of the Church itself, We know you are not part of any Faction.... but you have a deal with the Devil''s Faction, believe me I don''t want tell you this but Archangel Michael Himself got in touch with the Pope. Since one of the Swords started coming out of the Seal... Well let me tell you what you are going to do Astolfo.....you go after the Statue of Mordred, there you will enter an ancient Tomb, there is known to be the place where Mordred''s body was buried, I mean he was buried in England but the church took his body and put it there... First of all, you''re going to go in there with your spear, for God''s sake go with your spear. The Glitch-shaped figure steps forward and speaks in a strange voice - Every statue you are seeing...is a statue of ancient church heroes or Legendary People, like King Arthur, All Knights of the Round Lesson, The 12 Paladins of Charlemagne, Joana D''Arc, G¨ºngis Khan, Richard I and many others.... all these figures were emperors, ruthless Warriors or Holy Nuns, the weapons of these legendary warriors are kept here... at least the ones we find and retrieve. You are Descendant of Astolfo son Of Otto King of England... for being a person who technically is Heir to the throne of England, the Seal of one of the weapons related to your title of Heir to the Throne has been broken. More specifically Clarent... Excalibur''s seal was also broken, but the sword is fragmented so you can''t technically own the Throne of England. Astolfo - Wait a second... Why Clarent chose me??? the legends only say that she was a ceremonial sword that promoted knights!!! The figure gives a small sigh and speaks - You cannot take the Throne.... Mordred also cannot take the Throne, All Excalibur Fragments and the Swords used by the Knights of the Round Table are technically yours!!!! as we do not know of another descendant of any King of England, but we cannot and will not give our swords to you as you are not part of the Church, Mordred had a burning Rage for the Church.... Clarent seeing this will seize the chance to corrupt the ul last living descendant... Xenovia and the others are just looking at them with scared faces.... - Like what do you want me to do? - The figure looks at the Statue and says - I want you to take Calibur and take it with you, no one in the church can use it and it is the only sword we can give to a descendant of Otto. It''s a strong sword... but remember that when using it your emotional will change a lot.... and if by some miracle some other descendant is alive out there You will likely go mad with rage and try at any cost ..... it''s like a curse from Clarent, and if someone with Excalibur Ruler is in front of you, get ready for sure it will be a fight to the death. Xenovia - Wh--W--why exactly Ruler? - she speaks trembling a little while looking at the Statue whose eyes are shining in red (???) - The Excalibur Ruler is special, whoever has it.... has the right to be called King of England..... Clarent chose him then someone either already has or will choose Excalibur Ruler, the curse will to make the spirits of Arthur and Mordred take over the user''s body will not be a possession but the sword users..... at the time of the fight, it will be as if they themselves were at the Battle of Camlann, where Mordred lost his life to Arthur! Ivan - You will likely have memories of Mordred Himself... that would be good for us as we could confirm what the fu?k actually happened... I mean if you survive of course hahahahahahhahaha Astolfo scratching his neck he laughs and says - Hahahahahahaha Of course I''ll survive, when the time comes I''ll let you know what happened hahahahahahaha The exorcist group can only watch in Shock as he simply walks towards the most feared Sword in the entire Vatican... Xenovia Comes out of shock and then speaks - We can''t let him down there..... no one knows what the hell can happen to him !!!!! Jeanne - If he dies ..... it can be bad, I mean very very bad The Glitch-shaped figure starts walking where he came from - Just let him go.....maybe we''ve got a surprise..... _________________________________________________ Astolfo had been descending these stairs for a while, the walls around him were made of smooth stone, they were as big as his head and he could clearly see the division between them, to wooden supports that hold Torches by the Stem I, they had some engravings.... (probably to prevent the fire from going out ) He continued down for some more time until he reached an old wooden door and broken in some parts, beside the door a hand carved into the stone was there... His spear starts to emit a small yellow glow as he puts his hand on the wall and the door crumbles into small pieces, on the other side of the door was a small room with an Altar in the middle and a wooden ?h?st leaning vertically against the wall behind the altar. On the altar was a Silver sword with red accents.... it released a small red mist that was being directed towards Astolfo. Astolfo enters the room with his Spear in hand, it lights the room and on its walls could be seen several drawings, a knight in armor that had large horns on his head and green details red, while the other was what a girl with blond hair and a dress looked like a knight, with a sword with gold and blue accents, each side had several figures of knights behind them - this is.... Camlann? ..... They exchanged blow for blow, cut for cut. The two were on an equal footing but did not give up... Astolfo cuts towards (thing) "as he called it" and she defends, he uses it on impulse and lands a devastating kick in the figure''s ?h?st causing his armor to break, the figure is thrown back , a knight seeing this runs towards me, I defend his sword with ease and and cut his ?h?st as if it were bu??er... his armor cannot defend Clarent. I look where the thing was and I saw that it was no longer there... I look around and see that it has run away? ..... ( WHY THE HELL DID YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME) I look to the side and see that my knights are fighting ( hehehe I''m not going after y you ..... I will make you come to me father.....) I run towards the nearest enemy knight and rip his head off with a quick flick of my sword, I don''t stop at him and run to another one piercing Clarent in his ?h?st, taking out with a fluid horizontal cut in the left, this movement cut an enemy beside me in half, I continue to run and kill my enemies still blinded by rage, I cut them in half, rip their heads or arms off, my sword pierces them spurting more blood on the ground, My cuts are precise and powerful, causing huge explosions of earth when my sword hits the ground... My anger increases and increases for some reason with each knight I kill my anger increases more and more ... If it''s been a while since the battle started, it''s already afternoon and I''m tired....very tired...I cut one last knight and scream - WHERE ARE YOU ARTHURRRRR Arthur - here... I see him standing on top of my knights, killed by his stupid sword, that stupid ego, IDIOT SELFISH, IDIOT IDIOT... I speak some words I can''t understand, he attacks me and I defend his sword throwing it away... we talk for a few seconds until... he pulls out a white spear and appears n in front of me...I well against attacking...I could against attacking but...I''m too tired ... Too tired... I...can''t dodge... His spear pierces my ?h?st, while my arms were raised for one last attack... my armor that I loved so much breaks into several pieces.... My helmet breaks and I see my golden hair falling in my face... - Fa --- (Cof ) (Cof ) Father .... He takes the spear from my ?h?st and I fall backwards into my hand Clarent....the weapon that was just an ornament...in my hand...wrestled with Excalibur ..... The corners of my eyes turn dark... the darkness only increases while I''m lying down... _________________________________________________ I wake up again in the room where the Altar was.... my body has a cut wound on my left arm.... I can see a girl with blonde hair and red and silver armour sitting on my side.... we were leaning against the wall ..... Astolfo - Mordred?... Mordred - I think you are Astolfo right?... Man this was a trip ..... like you controlling my body and everything... Mordred - Well...I''m Mordred but at the same time....no....I was Mordred and now I''m.... Clarent maybe? - She ruffles her hair with her hands and speaks loudly - AHHHH I DON''T KNOW ANY MORE OK - She takes another breath and - I got tired of being stuck here... damn I was a Knight and made Clarent become a legendary sword.... Nobody can wield it because of it... .. damn Witch and her spells.... I want to get out of here...fight again and see how things are...then you showed up and BHAM SACRED ENERGY ROUND... And apparently you''re Descendant of some English King and hey , it''s not Arthur en so it''s great. Astolfo - Hahahahahahhahaha Alright Mordredo let''s fight together then - He gives a radiant smile, which ends up showing one of his fangs Mordred looks serious at Astolfo and gives a small smile, her body starts to glow and she speaks - As much as I would like to walk out of here... I remember them carrying me to the Vatican... If I walk out of here in human form they''ll probably have a thing... soooooo good luck carrying me... my king It transforms into a Silver sword with red accents, the sword is big but seems to be perfect for me.... I smile and stand up taking the sword and placing it on my back, my spear is in my left hand...I reach the side of the door and look back, the previously tidy room looks like be full of marks of swords and stones fallen on the ground...(What the hell happened?) I shrug and start walking up the stairs... _________________________________________________ In another part of the Continent a Boy with blond hair and glasses wakes up, looking from one side to the other.... - BROTHER BROTHER ARE YOU OK? YOU WERE TRAINING THEN YOU STARTED SCREAMING, THEN THE SOUNDS OF FIGHTING HAPPENED AND AND AND...- The boy puts his hand on his sister''s head and says - I''m fine Le Fay... He was just an intruder and let''s say I kicked him out..... Le Fay then gives a radiant smile and says - Of course you did you are super strong right brother ???? Arthur - Yes.... I am Le Fay Chapter 14 - Cutting and crushing Astolfo He went up and up the stairs, until he reached the part where his friends were, as he opens the door to the outside, his spear breaks up into various particles of light...everyone is looking at him and...(where did they go?) When he opened the door the only thing he saw was, nuns... 4 of them.... they were praying and they ended up stopping when he opened the door, they are looking at him with wide eyes... one of them screams, and the others scream right after, this draws the attention of the priest who came running with a sword and a pistol in his hands. He then stops and looks at Astolfo with wide eyes he runs inside... leaving Astolfo alone... Astolfo - I... think I''m leaving.... Astolfo then starts walking towards the exit, Clarent is still on his back, what he doesn''t realize is that she is emitting a Red Mist, The name Clarent has already been said for the purpose of crowning Knights and has been hailed by the Church, the joke part in the phrase is "HAS BEEN", It is now a name that is feared by Christians, now this sword that is aware of the very being that "transformed" it, of course it was going to do something Mordred - ( Hahahahahahhahaha That''s for leaving me locked up in that fu?k?d-up basement you bastards.... Be afraid you bitches) When he was leaving, for some reason he felt a sweat break out on his head for some reason, he was strangely hungry, so he decided to eat something, as he left the Vatican he started walking the streets, until Clarent started to vibrate for some reason... He goes to a nearby alley and takes her off his back, just as he does this Mordred appears in a very short s?xy outfit, Astolfo turns red immediately and screams Astolfo - MORDRED THIS IS NOT CLOTHING TO WEAR Mordred gets angry and screams too - SHUT UP IT''S HOT IN THIS DAMN COUNTRY Astolfo - PUT OTHER CLOTHES RIGHT NOW MORDRED THIS CALLS UNWANTED ATTENTION - He speaks hitting her head with a fist, her hand hurt as she is technically a sword. Mordred - DON''T HIT ME YOU BASTARD CHERRY HAIR - Mordred''s body then glows for a second and her clothes are less questionable, before he can Scream she puts a hand to her mouth and speaks - Now pinky I haven''t eaten anything for Centuries, so learn this in that colorful head of yours that when I shake I want to get out - Astolfo then takes her hand from her mouth and says - But how are you going to eat... you are a sword...- The two exit the alley and start walking randomly around town. Mordred then looks at him and says - I had a lot of time to learn magic....not that I have made much progress but hey I could taste the food and then I just destroyed it.... which is good since I don''t ever feel full hehehehehehhehe - Astolfo - If you eat more than i can afford, I''ll give you to the store owner ... ._. Astolfo - The name is Italy, and let''s eat noodles ..... it''s good They continued to walk and argue, they walked all afternoon driving people who were worried about them crazy. _________________________________________________ Time Skip : Night At the end of the day they were heading towards the church where Astolfo was staying, until he and Mordred stopped at the same time, In front of them was a shed with a large barrier around it. ... - Ah looks like they''re in a hurry - Mordred - Idiots hahahahahaha, Oii Astolfo let''s do this our first battle together? Astolfo - Sure, why not - Astolfo stretches his left hand towards Mordred, his hand starts to release small red Rays until with a Flash, Mordred''s body turns into lightning and turns into a sword in the hands of Astolfo - It''s show time hehehehe Astolfo runs forward and slashes Clarent into the barrier, a horizontal cut appears and the barrier breaks into tiny colored sparks... Astolfo puts his hands on the ground and a transparent Dome appears around the shed, a basic barrier spell so he learned that pretty quickly, so he takes Clarent and pouring magic on it he points Clarent towards the Shed, a red mist starts to come out of Clarent and in a flash a reddish colored ray comes out from the tip of the sword, he walks through the door and enters the shed, causing a loud bang. The priests were already around the block, he doesn''t know why the plan started the day before but hey? for some reason he''s here and the priests are already here too.... so let''s get this over with Astolfo was extremely fast again and ran to the next one, a lost demon that looked like a bat, he tried to cut Astolfo with his claws by reflex. Astolf found his claws with Clarent, cutting his arm in half... he looks at another demon near him with a gleeful smile and continues his massacre _________________________________________________ Ivan Pov The week went well, too well, when I arrived at the Vatican I thought it would be fast and everything not that Astolfo would be trapped in a tomb fighting for two days. He managed to leave today but when we arrived there they said he just walked out the front door and they didn''t stop him out of fear, as Clarent was clearly on his back and so the nuns they said it was releasing a sinister red Mist....seriously fu?k you, we would contact him on trade but the lost demons started earlier... this only caused more problems Now for some reason we''re looking at a destroyed Shed, a pile of mutilated and burned bodies and a pink haired boy covered in blood along with a beautiful sword filled with blood.... Ivan - Did you kill them alone? - I ask in disbelief since good his current strength this would have been a serious problem if he came alone... Astolfo - Of course not, Clarent helped me of course hehehehe - he says raising his sword towards us - Ah and why the plan started earlier? if I hadn''t been Here I would have missed the chance to help - Xenovia - first - You stayed there for two days, second when we got close, it felt like a war was going on inside, i even heard a woman screaming screaming - she breathes until her cheeks are swollen and she screams - AAAAAARRRRRRRRTTTTHHHHHHHHHUUUUUURRRRRR Everyone looked at her with a strange face, like why did she scream out of nowhere at night? Jeanne - How well did you fight IN THE BATTLE OF CAMLANN ASTOLFO, IF YOU FIGHTED LIKE MORDRED IT WAS FOR YOU ARE DEAD YOU FUCKING IDIOT Astolfo - I dunno... like I fought like Mordred, but when I woke up I only had a bruise on my left arm - he lifts his sleeve showing a small scar, he doesn''t know why but he heals quickly. Gianna - Astolfo you ... really... what happened.... how the legend ended.... I know both die in battle but who died first? Astolfo gives a bitter smile and says - Mordred died with a spear pierced in the stomach, his last action was to open a hole in the right side of Arthur''s stomach.....they talk a little but I couldn''t understand.....a The only thing I heard Arthur say was "You weren''t chosen because you does not have the qualities of a true King..." and it was over - he still has the battle in mind, and the anguish that Mordred felt upon hearing those words goes immense ..... Astolfo then laughs and says - But let''s go let''s go, we have a lot to catch up - with a radiant smile he puts Clarent on his back and starts to leave there happy as always. Chapter 15 - Arrival in Romania Astolfo was now leaving Italy, he was getting ready to go to Romania, wearing black pants, a white jeans jacket with cross-shaped black arms and white sneakers. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled, she had already noticed that when he smiled, he ended up showing a small fang in the corner of his mouth, he didn''t know why he had that but yes, his canines are sharper than other people''s , to be honest it looked like cat teeth? He looked at himself again and looked at his hair, which he leave propped up on his shoulder.... he gives a sigh and throws it back, turning around he takes his suitcase and leaves the room, when he arrives at the door of the front of the church, he sees Xenovia and Jeanne, Xenovia will accompany him while Jeanne will take the plane to France, they greet each other and start walking towards the airport. He knew it wouldn''t be the last time they saw each other, Xenovia in a year''s time will study at his school, while Jeanne... yes Jeanne could be his enemy if she decides to join the Khaos Bridage, CaoCao is an idiot, and Astolfo himself wants to kill that psychotic bastard. Jeanne, Xenovia and Astolfo talked about a lot things and promised to see each other after a while, (It''s funny that they say that when they''re probably going to fight each other) Gianna Carlos and Ivan were still taking care of Astolfo''s attack on the demons, they said their goodbyes first so everything was fine. When they arrived at the airport they went to a l cafeteria and talked more, the two are one of the few friends he has in this world... he has to enjoy it as much as possible, the first to leave was Jeanne, her plane leaving leaving a thoughtful Xenovia and a happy Astolfo. Xenovia then looks at Astolfo - Astolfo you never told us where you came from, so may I know? - Astolfo looks at her and with a big smile says - Of course of course, you see I come from Kuoh Japan, I''m not of course Japanese hahahahaha, actually I''m French and I live very young - he gives her a an awkward laugh, since he swore he''d already said it. Xenovia then nods and says - But... aren''t you going to Romania ?- Astolfo then gets serious and looks forward, he looks at the front window and there is a strange silence between them - Xenovia I''ll tell you this because I consider you a friend of mine.reason for me to go to Romania is... I''m looking for Longinus Sephiroth Grail..... by my information a vampire from the Tepes Faction found him.....don''t tell anyone that Xenovia, but I can''t let this power fall into the wrong hands - Xenovia had her eyes wide open and for a brief moment she thought about telling the church about it, that idea was repressed by remembering that the Sephiroth Grail bearer was a vampire - What...understood I won''t tell the church....but be careful you''re fighting an entire faction Astolfo this is the same as suicide - Astolfo chuckles happily and scratches the back of his head - hahahaha Don''t worry ok I''ll take the Sephiroth Grail just in time - he gets up and takes his backpack on his back, Xenovia also gets up and prepares to leave, but is surprised by Astolfo''s Embrace. Cutting with embarrassment, she returns the hug, Astolfo lets her go and says - Bye bye Xenovia, I hope to see you again - he walks away and waves his hand, leaving a red and stuttering Xenovia { remember that here Xenovia is a member of the church and had not yet lost faith } _________________________________________________ Astolfo left the airport exhausted, Mordred wanted to get out and walk with him, so when he left the airport the first thing he did was go to an alley and let her out. Mordred - UHHAAA Seriously it''s good to be able to walk again - she says stretching her arms over her head, causing little pops... she was dressed in an open red coat, a white shirt underneath and little denim shorts, his white sneakers had little red accents. Mordred - Hey King what are we doing today? I was thinking about starting something and hitting some bastards..... Mordred jumps happily on Astolfo''s back saying - I knew I could count on you King - the two chatted happily while heading towards the Hotel, Astolfo shouldn''t talk to the Carmila Faction but he wanted to find out if they knew anything... not that he needed since he himself knew about Anime and Novel, but he has to make it convincing that he actually hunted something. When he arrived at his Hotel, he registered and went to his room, Mordred went straight to a small fridge that was in the kitchen, Astolfo took his backpack and threw it on the sofa, as he sat down he picks up his phone , he would call Rias, he knows he has to say what he finds in Romania... he will probably have to meet Sirzechs or Serafall... He better tell about Clarent too, it wouldn''t be a good idea to just show up there with Clarent, he called her and went straight to voicemail, right in front of him a red magic circle appeared, Rias'' Face appeared, a few seconds later a blue circle appeared and Sona''s face he appeared. Before the two could speak Astolfo raised his hand and said - All right, I have 2 things to report, 1 is that I''ve already arrived in Romania so don''t worry and second... I might have have something the Church gave me- Rias nodded and said - Great that you have already arrived and all but... what did the church give you to be exact? - I look at the two people in front of me and sigh - Well...she gave it to me Clarent - when he finishes speaking he does a simple sound-cancelling spell. Just as the two had screamed and they talked one on top of the other..... he raises his hand again and they stop talking, dispelling the spell he then speaks - The church gave me because I am descended from an Old English King and the sword reacted to me,Clarent is not broken like Excalibur and has many requirements for someone to use it. The main one being a direct descendant of an English King, and they can''t get anyone else who could handle it so...they chose me to take it away....as they treated it like a cursed sword Sona nods and says - Alright.... this is a really big deal, a sword so powerful in the hands of someone so young, Oh what a headache. Rias then speaks - Look.... I''ve already said that if you want to join my nobility, that''s fine, but anyway Did you see anything strange in Romania? Astolfo thinks a little about what he saw, he couldn''t see anything different from normal, his sensory spells didn''t capture anyone, just a few vampires taking care of their lives and he didn''t even notice Astolf and Mordred. He says no and starts talking about other things, and finds out that someone went into Kuoh and left after a while...they know they weren''t a demon or Fallen Angel, the normal angels don''t come out of heaven unless he needs, rolled a few more things like the events of the Supernatural world until he hung up and sighed... Astolfo - Whoever this person is doesn''t want good... Hey Mordred Mordred who was in the fridge eating something looks back and tilts his head a little - Yes *munch* King? - she speaks with her mouth full... Mordred gives a huge smile and is sincerely very psychotic, his eyes giving off little red sparks - Really? hahahaha I can''t wait to see your King castle Astolfo raises an eyebrow and speaks - Now that I understand, why do you call me King? - he sees Mordred then lose his smile and look at him intently... Mordred - Basically it''s one of the little changes I had when my soul got trapped in Clarent......I would call you cherry or pink. But for some reason when we''re not debating I can only call you that Astolfo then shrugs and looks at the ceiling, wondering what to do now (I wanted to get out of here with Valerie....or rather Mr. Longinus.....I need to think of a really good plan to get t getting it out of here... it would be one less card in Khaos Bridage''s hand... Rizevin must already have his own goblet, but better not let the others get it ) Mordred then sits beside him and leans against Astolfo - You''ve got a serious face... it doesn''t look good on your face you know.... Astolfo was surprised by Mordred''s behavior....but ended up shrugging off - I know...it''s just......things are going to catch fire from now on... ...... Chapter 16 - NOT A CHAPTER As you have seen, I didn''t write anything for a while, and I apologize for that School was making me tired and so was my work, I had tests and papers, now I''ll come back with everything, wait for chapters tomorrow
