( Yuuki's POV )
Yuuki: First let me formally introduce myself, I am Kurokawa B. Yuuki, King of the Babylon Kingdom.
We moved to the floating island where our kingdom alliance meetings were held, and my maid Lapis was attending to us.
Odin: I am Odin, leader of the Nordic faction, and she is one of my Valkyries Rossweisse.
The woman next to him gave a professional bow and we continued our conversation.
Odin: As you said before, the biblical factions are ancestral enemies, Why do you give so much support to a doomed alliance when anything that happens between them will affect you less than a completely separate group like ours.
Yuuki: It's true that there's a lot of bad blood between them, but an alliance isn't impossible, and if they enter into another war, that would also cause me problems.
Odin: It's really peace that you're after, the position you're in says that what you want to happen will be what will happen, the precious sisters of two of the demon kings are under your protection, one of the leaders of the Fallen Angels is now on your side and another has a good relationship because of your mutual interest in Sacred Gears, your relationship with the angels isn't on the same level as the others, but they do think favorably of you after the help you gave to that pair of exorcists.
Yuuki: It should be easy to deduce that I would do all that only to suddenly turn around and start a war.
Odin: That wouldn't make sense, but this is just part of a bigger plan, isn't it?
Yuuki: So your curiosity is you gathering of information.
Odin: Ohoho, I wouldn't come here with nothing, I'm really curious about what kind of person you are, that's the last piece of my puzzle.
Yuuki: and what conclusion did you come to?
Odin: I'm... very interested, I'm going to reconsider the invitations from the Demon Kings, and I'd also like to hear from you in more detail about what your group does.
Yuuki: It'll be a pleasure.
//////////////////////
I had a long conversation with the leader of the Nordic faction and in the end he decided to attend his visit, The woman at his side, Rossweisse, objected to his decision, saying that he shouldn't over-look his other obligations, but when I told them that time passed differently between worlds, Odin stood firm in his decision.
After that I finally had the time to see my students, first I went to see Koneko, this might seem like I'm playing favorites but I decided not to think too hard about it.
Koneko is receiving some kind of special training separate from the others and when I arrived at the place where she was training, I saw Koneko fighting fiercely trying to hit Kokabiel, her personal trainer at the moment, despite Koneko's efforts he was able to dodge or block all of her attacks with one hand.
Yuuki: Don't you think you're being a little too harsh?
Kokabiel: She was the one who asked for my help, I'd rather be focusing on my own training.
While Koneko was catching her breath, I could feel an energy different from her demonic powers, Koneko was a half Yokai half devil and her original race was Nekoshou, In other words she was a cute cat girl, and during this training her cat tail and ears were out.
Yuuki: You go do that, I'll take care of things here.
I was interested in this power that Koneko was using so I took charge of her training, Kokabiel didn't hesitate to fly away happy that the responsibility had been taken from him
We needed a change of scenery so after paying a little visit to our family's seals expert Ana, Koneko and I flew out of the castle, almost immediately after leaving, she questioned me about our destination.
Koneko: Where are we going, sensei?
Yuuki: You'll decide that, focus on the power you want to master and find the best place to train.
Koneko: I don't know if I can do that.
Yuuki: I'm sure you can, just close your eyes and focus on nothing else.
I flew above Koneko and put my arms around her, holding her firmly.
Koneko: S-sensei?
Yuuki: You concentrate on searching, I'll do the flying.
Koneko followed my instructions and she began to channel the power I had seen her use before, as I was hugging her I felt some of that power flow through my body, I don't think Koneko is doing that intentionally but I didn't interrupt her, at first we were flying aimlessly but Koneko started aiming for the place that met the qualifications to be our training place, and I started using her as a compass.
Koneko: there, that's the place.
Koneko pointed at a mountain in the distance and I quickly flew there, we landed near a small waterfall and a crystal clear lake, that was a very beautiful place and although I had minimal experience with the power she wanted to master, I could feel why she chose this place.
Yuuki: Before we start, could you tell me about the power you were using?
Koneko: um that's Touki, a Ki control technique that increases a person's power and resistance, every living creature has Ki and a Nekoshou is especially good at manipulating this energy.
That's what she says but I've never seen her using that technique, there's probably a reason for that but it was better to put that aside for the moment.
Yuuki: I think I understand, could you show me your back first.
Koneko blushed at my request but she obeyed without saying anything, when she lowered her shirt a little, I took a red needle that Ana had given me, when I touched her back with it, the color of the needle spilled onto her skin and that red ink formed a specific image, that was Ana's seal.
Koneko: What's that, Sensei?
Yuuki: It's a seal, the fastest way to master a new energy is to block out others that might interfere.
