Highschool Dxd Fate Unbound - Chapter 2 Findings

Saint Mary Orphanage-

In the Italian country side there lied an orphanage, the children that lived there had happy lives and were like one big family, the owner of this orphanage Mary Clearwater was a gentle woman in her early 30s who loved the children very much she also was a former member of the Vatican Church perhaps that is also the reason the orphanage was funded by the church.

Right now all the children were playing outside and Mother Mary was overlooking them with a gentle smile one her face but today there was an extra person next to Mary.

???: You really had a thing for kids Mary.

Mary: ufufu its amazing how a person like me could actually settle down and do the things i enjoyed even if i had such a past.

Mary suddenly has a look of melancholy on her face, her female companion understood that her friend was suddenly reminiscing about the past.

???: It’s fine Fine the past is the past you shouldn’t forsake it but learn from it so that you can have a better future.

Mary exits her state and smiles toward her friend.

Mary: Thank you Griselda I needed that, so any particular reason why you came to visit?

Griselda: Not quite i was given some free time from Gabriel-sama so i decided why not visit some old friends.

Mary: old “friends” haha if my memory serves me right, if i wasn’t with you all those years ago than perhaps you would still be the famous “loner queen”

Griselda: hey! i wasn’t a loner!

Mary: Sure sure.

The two old friend continue their friendly bicker until Mary remembers something and yells towards the children.

Mary: Children! play time is over time to come inside!

All of the kids even the mischievous ones complied and slowly everyone made their way into the orphanage under the supervision of Mary and Griselda.

Mary: huh, has anyone seen Haruto?

boy1: mother he still might be in the forest.

Griselda: ufufu one of the kids giving you trouble.

Mary: Not at all exactly, rather little Haru is one of the most well behaved kids here.

Mary said as she made her way to the forest.

Griselda: Really? tell me about this kid.

Mary: well for one thing he was here ever since he was a Baby and guess what even though he was little he didn’t give me much trouble, I was even worried there was something wrong with him.

Griselda: sounds like a good kid to me?

Mary: He is but thats not the suprising part he tends to like swords and heroes and that i think is normal for a little kid but the suprising things relate to “our” world Griselda.

Griselda shows a serious expression and asks

Griselda: And how is it related to our world.

Mary: Best you see for yourself, you for one will be able to get a more accurate description than me who was once an excorcist.

Griselda gets intrigued by the description of the boy and decides to check what seperates him from the norm, she continues to follow Mary in the forest until she starts feeling a presense but not a hostile kind.

Griselda: (what is this presense so pure and…..we’re headed in It’s direction is it related to the boy Mary was talking about?)

After a few more moments the two nuns find themselves in a forest clearing and there they see a a little boy about 7 to 8 years old who was swinging a wooden stick. The boy had silky black hair like the night sky and azure blue eyes that radiate power and determination, he couldn’t be called handsome right about now but he was deadly cute.

Griselda was greatly shocked not because of the sword technique he was practicing since the technique wasn’t about offense or defense but it was used by young swordsman to strenghten their basics and foundation so that when they grow older they would have less problem performing advanced techniques of higher grade, Instead the thing that shocked her was…

Griselda: (Such a pure soul)

Ever since Griseda was reborn as an Angel she gained one of the Angel special abillities [Reveal]

this allowed her to not only sense but directly see a person’s soul if they did not use magic or other means to stop it.

The child in front of her had a soul that was golden and and was also radiating a bit of rainbow radiance, normally little children who are still pure also have an unblemished soul but even they did not have such a pure and holy glow that the child in front of her was excluding looking around she saw another interesting thing….

Near the boy were animals like deers, rabbits, doves, butterflies etc normally these animals would easily get scared when someone practiced but here they were not much distance away from the little boy and Griselda could sense that they had no fear, for even honest creature like animals to not even be afraid was another interesting thing about the boy.

Mary: see, you are able to feel the aura too right?

Griselda did not respond instead she stood up from her hiding place and made her way to the boy.

Haruto: hah hah haah. (heavy breaths)

Griselda seeing the boy’s condition couldn’t help but marvel.

Griselda: (Even if it is only a foundational technique to be practiced for so long by a 7 year old is without a doudth impressive) The Angle of your blow is too stiff.

Haruto suddenly jerked and almost fell down mid swing, he turned around to see Griselda smiling kindly at him, he was in a daze for a few seconds until he snapped out of it.

Haruto: Good Afternoon Sister.

Griselda: Well it’s almost evening but enough about that i couldn’t help but point out some mistakes you were doing in your swings.

Haruto: Sorry Sister but i don’t have anyone to point my mistakes so I’m rusty in my practice…huh Sister are you a Swordsman.

Griselda: (In my opinion you already were making great progress) Well the correct term is “Swordswoman” but yes i have knowledge in swords, do you want me to teach you some things.

Haruto: Yes Please! (sparkling eyes)

Griselda: haha Okay we will start training but tomorrow morning, remember lesson no.1 always be fresh and energetic before training.

Haruto: Hmmm….Okay.

Griselda: Good boy (his pouting expression is just so cute)

Haruto makes his way to the Orphanage while back at the clearing Griselda’s smile slowly vanishes and instead she adopts a serious expression.

Mary: So what do you say?

Mary also come out of hiding and asks her friend with a serious expression.

Griselda: You were right this child is special i looked at his soul and honestly aside from being pure, the quality is strong and it also releases a soothing but powerful radiance.

Mary: I knew it even though I’m not an Angel as a former excorcist i could sense there was something different about little Haru.

Griselda: Mary tell me everything you know about that child.

Mary: well he was here ever since he was a Baby about 3 months at the time, I tried finding his background but i only got the information that he shouldn’t exist! since there was no information about his birth and i didn’t expect him to be a devil or a fallen since he is 100% human.

Griselda: Did you use the church’s information network?

Mary: I did….still nothing.

Griselda: Okay I’ll eventually consult this with Gabriel-sama…but tell me one more thing why is he practicing the sword arts?

Mary: This is perhaps the only thing that makes me still want to treat him as a child. His dream is to become a Hero.

Griselda: Hero? well i don’t know about that but without a doubth he’ll become a great warrior at this pace.

Mary: Are you thinking of taking him to the Church for training? You do know why i haven’t discussed this with anyone else but you right?

Griselda couldn’t help but smile sadly she knew what her friend was talking about the church today was not like the church at the time of the Great War where most of the officials and fighters were true warriors of God, now there are corrupt or power hungry people in the Church’s ranks but thankfully they were the minority but they were still there and if a child like Haruto came in their sights who knows what will happen.

Griselda: No…not yet at least, prepare a room for me i will stay for a week for more observation and if he meets the criteria i will give him the option of coming to the Church but don’t worry i swear he will be directly under my care.

At first Mary was still a bit worried but After hearing her friend’s promise she sighed in relief she knew her friend’s position in Vatican and it will be near impossible for anything to happen to Haruto with her around.

After their talk finished they found out that they had already arived at the front door of the orphanage, so they decided to call it a day.
