( Yuuki's POV )
After my interesting first encounter with Sona's sister, Sirzechs told me that there was someone else who wanted to meet me, but we had to move to a different place.
The place we were heading to was a temple somewhat far from the city, and as we were approaching, the air around us was changing, It was the effects of a powerful presence; something or someone powerful was waiting for us where we were going.
That wasn't cause for alarm for me, but Athena was more cautious.
Athena: Yuuki, be careful, this could be a trap.
Yuuki: You're very cautious, aren't you?
Athena: It's my job.
Yuuki: Things will be fine. I trust Sirzechs, but thank you for your diligence.
Even if Athena's suspicions turn out to be correct, I believe we will be fine.
I walked with complete confidence into the temple and I saw that the one who was waiting for us was a man, an angel.
Its nature was given by the twelve shining golden wings on its back and the halo on its head, his great power indicated that he was not just any angel, but a high-ranking one, yet he also had a kind and approachable expression.
???: I'm sorry for calling you like this, Yuuki, I'm Michael, the leader of the church.
Yuuki: The church leader, huh? I think we were going to meet at the three-faction meeting, so why did you need to call me here before that?
Michael: I wanted to meet the man who gave us so much support for an alliance that doesn't affect him, for helping our exorcists, and I also wanted to apologize.
Yuuki: I understand the first two, but why the apology?
Michael: It's because of Asia Argento; from Irina's reports, I understand that she's part of your group and someone important to you.
Yuuki: Yes, she is my lovely fiancée.
Michael: The incident that caused her expulsion from the church, when she used her gift to heal a devil, I had no other choice, I don't have complete control over the system God created, and I can't afford to lose people's faith.
Yuuki: Well, that incident is what put Asia and the other fallen angels in our path, so I can't say I'm too upset about it, but you should talk to Asia directly; she'll appreciate it.
Michael: When the opportunity arises, I will do that, and there is one last thing I wanted to give you.
The angel Michael extended his arms and a warm light appeared in front of him, then within the light a sword appeared, radiating energy, Just by looking at that sword I could tell that it was a dragon-slaying sword.
That's a curious gift for a dragon like me, but I don't think Michael was doing this maliciously.
Michael: This blade is Ascalon, I think it's better that this is in your hands, as you may have already realized this is a dragon-slaying sword.
Yuuki: I'd gladly accept that, and if you want help with your system, don't hesitate to call me. I'm more knowledgeable on this subject than the average person.
I gave Michael a special phone so that he could communicate with me directly from any world I might be in, if necessary, after that we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. We'll see each other again soon at the meeting between the three factions.
////////////////////
One day after my meeting with Michael, I was summoned to Kuoh Academy by Rias, At first I thought this was related to the important meeting that was happening soon, but it turned out to be something more personal.
Yuuki: This is ominous.
I was with Rias and her peerage at her club, in a part I hadn't visited before, and in front of me was a door locked with chains and multiple seals.
I looked at Rias and she just gestured for me to enter the room. Other newcomers like Issei seemed just as confused about what this place was, but Rias ignored them for the moment.
I opened the door as Rias instructed, and inside the mysterious room there was a simple cardboard box in the middle of the room. I approached to open the box and I raise an eyebrow when I saw what was inside.
Inside the box was a blond-haired pretty boy wearing a girls' Kuoh uniform.
The boy curled up in a ball, somewhat frightened, when he saw me, and I looked at Rias again for answers, but I found her unresponsive.
I waved a hand in front of Rias, but she didn't respond; it was as if she were frozen in place, the only people who could move were me and the mysterious boy, and with that information I understood why Rias was asking for help.
I flick him on the forehead with my finger, and the boy turned his full attention to me.
Yuuki: Hey kid, you clearly need help, but before I do anything, you'll have to talk to me.
???: Huh? Why aren't you- Who are you?
Yuuki: My name is Kurokawa B. Yuuki. I'm Sona and Rias's sensei, so I suppose that makes me yours too.
???: You're my sensei?
Yuuki: yup What's your name, kid?
???: I'm Gasper, Gasper Vladi.
After learning the boy's name, I placed a hand on Gasper and canceled any power that was stopping time for the others, so we could have a better conversation.
