Playing With Other Supernaturals

Volume 5 Chapter 211 - Too Stupid

"That\'s Kokabiel?" Issei became very vigilant and went in front of both Rias and Asia as he takes out his Booted Gear.

Unfazed of this, Kokabiel threw the person he is holding towards them, "I have a present for you."

Issei hurriedly dashed towards the falling person as she\'s very familiar to catch and just as he guessed she was someone he knows, "I-Irina!"

Irina is unconscious and wounded allover with her battlesuit torn apart revealing some parts of her body, "Asia!" Seeing the situation, Issei immediately asked for Asia\'s help.

"That one made it all the way to our stronghold, so we gave her a fitting welcome. The other two managed to get away." Kokabiel chuckled at their reactions.

"Tch!" Rias turned away her attention from Issei and face back Kokabiel, "The Devil King may be my brother, but he no longer shares a political connection with the rest of my family! If you\'re looking to make some sort of diplomatic deal, your efforts are wasted!."

"As if I would try something so stupid as negotiating with the Devil King. Still, if I ravished and killed his little sister, Sirzechs might turn his fury on me, which could have its own merits."

Rias was peeved by his words, "… What are you after, then?"

Kokabiel then proceeds to cackle and explain his motives behind his actions. What is want is another three-way war and prove that the Fallen Angels were the supreme being. He was dissatisfied that Azazel pulled out from the war when they are practically winning. At first, he tried to ease his boredom by collecting and studying the Sacred Gears like most of the Fallen Angel bigwig is doing now, but he got bored of it soon too, so when Valper approached him with his research on Excalibur, he found his chance. He planned is to provoke Heaven by stealing the Excaliburs but the Church only sent some puny priests and Holy Sword-wielders.

He then switched his plan to mess up the territory where two little sisters of the current Devil Kings to provoke them into sending their forces, effectively initiating the war.

There is only one question remaining in Rias\' head, "Why are you still collecting the Excaliburs, then!?"

"Come after me if you want to know so badly! Let\'s start a war! You and I, Rias Gremory, sister of Devil King Sirzechs Lucifer!" Kokabiel then flew off towards the Kuoh Academy with almost instantaneous speed. Freed on the other hand used his flashbang to escape again.

"Sh*t!" Issei stomped his foot in frustration, "That bastard pulled one on us again!"

Rias then immediately instructed the two, "Asia, when you\'re done with the first aid, bring her somewhere safe to rest."

"R-right!"

"I\'m going to contact Sona and Akeno. Issei, go get Koneko, we\'re going to meet outside the school. Don\'t be late!"

"Understood!"

"We\'ve got to protect this Academy…"

"First, we on the Student Council will try to abate the damage to the barrier over the school. But to be completely frank, if you Kokabiel releases his full power, let alone the school, he can instantly destroy the whole town. And it would appear that he already made some preparations to do just that. My servants spotted him releasing some of his powers on the schoolyard." Sona narrated the situation.

"T-the whole city…? He\'ll destroy our homes and school just to start a war!?"

Sona nodded at Issei\'s words.

"We can\'t let him! He picked the wrong Devils to mess with!" Even though he said that he isn\'t exactly optimistic. Even if he charges his power until the limits of his body, he\'s only capable of destroying a mountain and he would be completely drained after. He\'s only trying to rouse everyone\'s morale in this bleak situation.

"In order to reduce the potential destruction to the outside world, we will be reinforcing the barrier from appropriate spots. I hate to think of our Academy coming to harm, but our foe is an elite among Fallen Angels. We have to prepare for the worst…" Sona and her servants started backing up to go to their positions.

"Thank you… Sona… Leave the rest to us." Rias declared.

But before all of them could leave, a voice from afar resounded, "Don\'t you think this is too stupid?" Aika came walking from the shadows. She has been doing her own survey of the situation and it isn\'t looking good for her. So before she came to the school where everyone is gathering, she first let her parents leave Kuoh Town for a period of time, "Why don\'t you call or wait for enforcement? Aren\'t you all too confident? Or are you just that confident to die? And Sona-kaichou… What\'s up with you?" A bunch of questions came from her and the last one is directly confronted Sona who can\'t seem to look at her eyes when she asked that question.

"Oi! Kiryuu! Don\'t talk to Kaichou like that!" Saji immediately flipped out to defend his master.

"What? Are you thinking that this is some incredibly smart move? Are you an idiot?"

"Guh!" Saji has nothing to say back as what they planning is really too reckless. They couldn\'t possibly go against someone who survives a war with the Biblical God and Devil Kings.

"I understand why you don\'t escape because you don\'t want to abandon this town, but from what I just heard from your conversation, none of you seems to bother calling for reinforcement… Are you mocking an enemy of that caliber? Or do you think that this is some shounen manga that can be solved with the power of friendship? Get real!"

Aika is getting really frustrated at their actions that seem too childish, and she isn\'t done yet, "I got it that your older sibling won\'t make their move personally as it might escalate things quickly, but don\'t you think that you should at least call an army that is capable of at least repelling that guy in the name of self-defense? And you\'re from influential families from what I heard so something like this should be doable! Or are you thinking that you want to be independent of your families? That\'s bullsh*t! Please choose another time to act like that when there is an actual need for it if there is one!"

Aika is panting hard as she finishes her words and nobody could say anything back at her outburst.
