Simple really just channel your demonic power with the help of the magic circle and the intent of completing your request and when you finish your client contract you can just use this flyer the same way you did with the teleportation circle , good luck and remember to be careful a lot of accidents can happen , and Rias just finished her explanation with an encouraging smile .
I really don't understand what a contract is but i guess will just have to find out i thought and began to walk towards the teleportation circle and stood there but asked Rias : who is my client any way and she answered you will see i guess it's really going to be one kind of experience but why she said it is the right job for my barrier i began to focus not to end anywhere else by my random thoughts which by the way became easily convinced after the show from earlier .
I channeled my energy and just blinked and i was in a new place with a messy background that looked like a science lab or just some sci-fi die hard fan then came the voice of whom i presumed to be my first client :
Who are you and where is the blonde guy from before ?
So he is one of Kiba's clients hope he won't be irritated by this i answered :
sorry , i'm the devil in your service tonight i will do my best to fulfill your wish .
He looked at me wearily as he said : i'm working in weaponry business and need someone to test a few products for me are you capable as the other guy was .
Oh so i'm trying some weapons cool but didn't Kiba also used firearms but isn't this against his knight vows or something maybe i will ask him about it later or not as i stopped my deep thinking and told him : i will try my best it can't be this hard to use a gun, right?
He didn't answer as he pulled a pistol from his lab coat and literally shot me i tensed and flared my touki as i sensed the world slowing down around me and luckily i can see the bullet moving and easily moved and avoided it while amazed at what happened and thinking to myself devil senses is really something else then looked at my will be killed soon client with clear anger at what he did but he scoffed and said :
so you evaded i guess you will be just enough for the experiment at least you aren't glaring with a killing intent like that blonde devil .
I really want to choke him right now but was Kiba really upset about this kind of trick it wouldn't have done anything in the first place right?so i asked the mad scientist : did you tried this with Kiba too ? and he nodded but mine was a test with Kiba was some machine gun experiment which he exceeded in as he was using his sword to deflect the bullets or even slicing them cleanly but the mad scientist said he always looked at him with resentment from the first time he met him , how i got him to tell me all that let's just say i'm now quite persuasive .
But i still told him begrudgingly : what if i was really hit by it you mad scientist
But he pointed at the hole the bullet now in and said : it wasn't a real one so even if it hit you it might just sting you a bit , my first contract sure is a weird one then he began introducing himself as a normal person i really wanted to punch him at least once he said : i'm doctor Sen Toujo 56 years old i will be leading you in today's experiment , is this a school trip or something this not so old man really needs a beating i just said my name is Tetsya and nodded at him .
Then he began calling his men on the phone as they begin to unload some heavy packages as i can tell by seeing them using a lifter what kind of experiment are we doing here i asked the mad doctor and he hushed me and after they unload all the packages he ordered them to go out and said :
I need a live test subject to test my weapons on and who is more durable than a devil i hope you don't disappoint me because you know you will be dead , so are you ready ? Asked the mad doctor with a crazed like smile i guess that's his exciting one .
What did i really agree to why president sent me this maniac as a first contract then realization hit me oh yes my barrier need to be trained but can't i do this in a training grounds or any place other than with this crazy arms dealer sigh i guess i must really adjust my mind again after this i nodded at doctor Toujou and saw him adjusting something in his machines then headed to the safe room and turned on the microphone
Are you ready ? and two machine guns just started to rain bullets at me ,at least wait for my answer you damn madman as i conjured my defensive barrier a few centimeters in front of me and it was a refreshing experience seeing him frustrated at that as the bullets came to abrupt halt as they made contact with the barrier .
I asked bewildered : so how is this helping exactly as you can see the bullets can't hit their target , is he just messing with me .
And then came the doctor voice i guess he isn't that mad yet : the room you are in is filled with sensors designed to analyze and count the impact by keenly keeping notice of the trajectory of the shots but your real wish from you is to minimize the losses as i'm trying to run a business here you see .
Did you really made a contract with a devil just because you are cheap miser , i think you really are a mad doctor mr Toujou .was my comment at how things turned out to be .
Was that maybe the reason that angered Kiba but the doctor said he looked at him with resentment from the start but this dude is really irritating let's just finish this and head back .
The doctor rummaged through some keys and the machine guns was sucked into the laboratory underground and what stood in their place was a first time wonder sight what stood in front of me was a machine shotgun and was even equipped with something like a flame thrower , he is mad alright but his creations are cool .
My barrier still standing it's not costing me anything as i didn't feel any drain and it started again to rain shells this time i really wonder how can he get any benefit from this but then it happened the flame thrower also started to join the skirmish i increased my demonic power and visualized the barrier turned to egg shaped around me and it did just that i didn't feel the heat and the shells got rebound and lost its momentum the machine stopped and still where i'm standing came the voice of the doctor contemplating : did you do something to the machine and i said no then he began telling me some malfunction might have happened as the flame thrower wasn't supposed to turn on now .
Yeah a malfunction i will definitely give you one too after my work is done but i still said :
It's alright i guess so what now he said and he got out of the safe room while forgetting the malfunctioning machine isn't even put away : we are finished her you done your part well .
And as i already was going to him i sensed the machine making a buzz sound and began turning around like it's possessed or something and opened fire at both of us i focused and again the world around me slowed down what to do now , i guess i will just try to spread my demonic power enough to reach him and try to conjure a barrier around him i don't want see my first job ending in a failure it won't look good on my resume to say that my first client ended up dead do devils even have resumes and why don't just destroy the machine gun a typhoon spell will do the trick but can i contain the explosion let's just ask the mad doctor for his opinion after saving him of course .
Visualizing correctly does make wonders as it really made two barriers that shrouded the two of us in as i exhaled a breath and asked :
What to do now mr cheap he thought and then told me to finally just blast it as he wouldn't risk his life to reach the control room i told him i won't be held responsible and he just nodded at that .
The idea of containing it with my barrier still keep bugging me Rias already sent me here to try to gain more experience any way so i just did that kept the two barriers until i reached the doctor and took him to the safe room and from there i spreaded my demonic energy to shroud the whole laboratory and focused intently on the machine gun and it just crumbled with the earth beneath it as i found my demonic power pressuring the whole place as even the doctor began to kneel and shudder but it's not the time to dwell on all this the machine is gonna explode i guess it's a do or die situation i began to visualize a barrier coating the machine in it and what a great show that was i kept increasing the demonic energy infused into the barrier to sturdy it for the explosion and then saw it the fire contained inside the now rounded looking barrier .
I guess my focus also increased now what should i do with that i can't just keep holding it until it disappears right , can't i just control the fire with my demonic energy from inside to just put it off worth the try i channeled my energy and did it .
I felt the heat after wrapping my demonic power inside the barrier as a red spell circle began to appear on my left hand and i willed the fire to get extinguished and it did as i began to talk a breath in relief and removed the barrier as well and told the quivering doctor : i guess my work here is done are you satisfied at which he nodded and gave me a credit card with a smiling face while saying :
very and here is your reward can i offer to hire you to be my bodyguard with a contract of course , you see the business i'm in is quite shady and good protection is really expensive these days what do you say .
If the contract arrived i will think about it and let me gave you something to remember me with as well with that i punched him in the face while controlling my power of course and tried to teleport to the club without the flyer help and the earth beneath me shone and a circle came out of it and engulfed me .
Phew teleportation is really the best i came back as i declared my return i found no one in the room but the cute cat ears girl Koneko wearing a sport wear sleeping on the couch as she woke up and said weekly :
Welcome back Tetsya and congratulations on your first contract ~nya~ .
I just stood there staring at the petite blushing Koneko in awkward kind atmosphere but then i asked knowingly : did senior Akeno put you up to this ?
She nodded weakly then said : i asked her how to appease you and she suggested this , didn't you like it ?
It's not about liking it or not i wasn't even angry to began with i was just surprised and actually felt you did it for my sake so i kinda liked it somehow , i said as her face turned completely red i was really afraid as i began to feel tensed at how silent she became she won't knock me again right .
Luckily , she sat at the couch and pointed at the seat next to her and i hurriedly sat there i'm the one trying to appease her right now funny huh .
She leaned at my shoulder a nostalgic moment hit me as she began saying : I did it because i was afraid you may hurt yourself or worse lose your control over it and end up going berserk or even dead , at the last part her voice turned grave and even began sobbing .
Did someone dear to Koneko or herself happened to have a bad history or accident with using touki why i didn't feel anything wrong though i still raised my hand and patted her on the head and said :
don't worry Koneko it's okay now , don't be like that you can even hit me again if you want to , and held her hand while flinching close to my face she focused a bit and i closed my eyes to remain determined and to at least save some of my dignity but what came next left me rooted to the ground for a lot of time a cold sensation on my cheek i opened my eyes yeah Koneko giving me kiss on the cheek with sweet smile i don't even know what to do but my touki flared with my increasing heartbeat she then looked at me and said :
we will work on that in training .
~Ara~ Koneko too .
