Arc Of Embodiment (Hiatus) - Chapter 37

-Draconic Deus-

Student Council Room.

Sona and her Peerage hasn’t heard of the return of Rias; therefore, she was working hard to figure out what happened. While doing so, the door to the Student Council Room suddenly opened with a bang, in the other side of the door was Serafall Leviathan.

“Sona-tan! Are you okay?! I heard from Sirzechs that Rias disappeared. I got here as soon as I can,” Serafall shouted in panic.

“O-onee-sama! What are you doing here?!” Sona said. Serafall didn’t hear her at all, she ran towards Sona and started patting her down to see if she has any injury, but that’s not all Serafall did, after seeing that she was okay, she started touching Sona inappropriately.

“Onee-sama! Stop!” Sona said with embarrassment.

“Ahem! It seems that you’re not injured in any way,” Serafall stated as if she did nothing wrong.

“Onee-sama, what are you doing here?” Sona asked again.

“To check if you’re okay and to help look for Rias,” Serafall said with seriousness.

“If anything happens to Rias, there will be horrible ramifications to such an act and it would be even worse if the one responsible was one of the two other factions,” Serafall added.

“I understand that. It was the reason that I reported this incident as soon as I could,” Sona said.

“Could you tell me everything that happened that on the day of the disappearance and the previous day, it may give me some indication on what is happening,” Serafall said.

Sona explained everything that she knew, whether it was the arrival of Riser or the massive magical energy that pressured her and how it originated from the ORC, Sona didn’t leave anything out.

“Hmm…I think it’s best to head there and see the situation,” Serafall said.

“Lucifer-sama is currently in the ORC, I believe he’s also trying to look for clues,” Sona said.

Sona and Serafall headed into the ORC, her Queen Tsubaki followed suit, the others decided to stay behind. When they arrived in the ORC, they were shocked, Rias and the others were okay and Sirzechs was hugging a Human for some reason.

“Rias! You’re where have you been?! When I felt a massive magical spike, I checked if you were okay but you disappeared,” Sona said, she lost some of her calmness when she saw that Rias was alright.

“Oh, Sona. I was just gone for two days, we were out training for my upcoming Rating Game,” Rias replied to Sona.

“If that’s the case, what was with the pressure that we felt?” Sona said getting her composure back.

Rias went and explained everything, she looked at Jaune first to see should tell them about him, Jaune just nodded and shrugged his shoulder, he didn’t care if they knew, this world wasn’t like Remnant were magic bȧrėly exist, here people with immense power are respected by the supernatural world. The only thing that Rias didn’t tell them was able her and her Peerage achieving Super Devil, she wanted that to be a secret for now since if info leaked, Riser might back down on the deal and make her lose her chance to get rid of the Arranged Marriage.

“That, that’s unbelievable. I’m meaning if one takes a look at him, he doesn’t exactly look…strong, he looks just like any good looking Human,” Sona said with shock.

“Believe me, I know. It was me questioning his strength that made him flare his magic in the first place,” Rias said.

“If you’re back, does that mean that you’re ready for your Rating Game in four days?” Sona asked.

“Yes, we are. With Jaune’s training, there isn’t anything that Riser can do to beat us,” Rias said with confidence.

While Rias was talking with Sona, Serafall approached Jaune, she was curious, Jaune may be strong, but he acts just like her, he does everything he wants as long as no one gets hurt, at least as long as no innocent gets hurt. Serafall may act very childish, but she always makes sure that no innocent gets caught in her shenanigan.

“Soooo, you’re Jaune-chan? The names Serafall, but you can call me Levia-tan!” Serafall said.

“Hello, but do you mind dropping the chan, from where I’m from we don’t use such suffix after the name,” Jaune said. Serafall nodded in understanding.

“So…Did you really train Rias and her Peerage?” Serafall asked.

“Yup! When I made the deal with her, I meant every word, I trained them with a guarantee that they will win the Rating Game against Riser, after all, An Arc never goes back on his words,” Jaune said.

“You’re quite interesting, I like you, let’s be friends,” Serafall said while bringing her hand forward for a handshake.

“You’re quite interesting yourself, Levia-tan. I’ve got no problem being friends,” Jaune said, he then reached for her hand and shake it. It was then that Jaune thought of something quite mischievous. What would happen if Jaune gave Serafall a wand that amplifies her ice magic? But then he felt a shiver down his spine and thought that it may be a bad idea.

While Jaune and Serafall were bonding as friends, the others in the room were just staring at them, how enthusiastic they were talking about magical girls, one thing was for sure, Rias and her Peerage didn’t think that Jaune was the type of person that watches Magical Girl Anime.

“Kiba? You’re seeing what I’m seeing, right?” Issei asked.

“I do. It looks…” Kiba was saying before Issei completed it for him.

“Unnatural,” Issei said.

“Yeah,” Kiba said.

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone as handsome as Jaune to be knowledgeable about Magical Girl,” Issei said.

“I think it’s wonderful that they are bonding with something they like,” Asia said.

When Koneko saw this, she didn’t want to be left out, so, she went and sat down on Jaune’s ŀȧp. This surprised Jaune a bit, but he let her sit on his ŀȧp, he even started giving her some cookies and sweets that are stored in his storage ring.

“Kuh! I’m jealous of him having Koneko sit on his ŀȧp,” Issei said.

“I-Issei-san, if you want, I can sit on your ŀȧp,” Asia said with a blush on her face.

“Really?!” Issei said with excitement.

“I-I can do more than that if you’d like, but in private,” Asia said.

When Issei heard this, he started to imagine scenes about him with Asia and Rias, after all, he could do nothing for a year inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and whenever he was having a perverted thought that was showing in his face, Jaune would smack him and make his training harder.

“I-Issei-san! You’re showing your perversion again,” Asia reminded him.

“S-sorry,” Issei said.

For the rest of the day, Jaune continued talking with Serafall while having Koneko sat on his ŀȧp, but Koneko had to leave. Sirzechs returned to the Underworld since there was no issue with Rias and because he didn’t want Grayfia to give him any more paperwork. Sona and her Queen Tsubaki went back to the Student Council Room. Issei, Asia, Kiba and Koneko had to return to class for the day. Rias and Akeno stayed on the ORC, they seem to be making some plans for the upcoming Rating Game.

When Jaune and Serafall saw this, they decided to leave the ORC and head to a café and continue their conversation. This time, it was the people from the café that was staring at them, not because they were talking about Magical Girl Anime, no, they were staring because Jaune and Serafall were attractive people, especially Jaune since he looks like a foreigner which is technically true.. Jaune and Serafall just ignored the people’s stare, they just continued having a wonderful conversation.
