A middle-aged man with black hair and red eyes crossed his arms, standing on top the building of Kuoh Academy.

The Fallen Angel known as Kokabiel scowled in disgust. The Fallen Angel harbored a great deal of pride within himself. After all, he was one of the Fallen Angels who had fought and survived the climatic Great War.

Due to that war, Kokabiel believed that the Fallen Angel race was the superior species. The mere thought of anyone telling him otherwise brought damage to his pride.

But years later, a godlike powerful source of energy had risen, and it angered Kokabiel deeply. The one who possessed this power was a target of Azazel, since the laid-back Fallen Angel had become interested in him.

The one who harbored this power was by no means human, Kokabiel could tell that much. And to top it all off, Raynare, a Fallen Angel herself, was with the boy. Azazel had ordered her to merely watch over the boy, but Kokabiel was disgusted with this procedure.

At first Kokabiel would just ignore the boy's godlike power, but soon after, Kokabiel's pride soon began to decline. As the boy grew stronger, so did Kokabiel's paranoia.

And then it happened.

Kokabiel was one of the observers who had watched the fight between Issei Hyoudou and the third son of the Phenex Clan, Riser Phenex. Watching the boy transform twice, had only increased Kokabiel's fear.

However it appeared luck was on the Fallen Angel's side. Due to the fact that both Sirzechs and Riser had agreed on a bet in order to see Issei Hyoudou's true power, there would be a large chance of the boy harboring a great deal of hatred for the Devils.

While disgusted at the thought of someone like Issei joining the Fallen Angels, Kokabiel thought it would be beneficial for Issei to join on his side.

In order to start another Great War.

Azazel had strongly objected Kokabiel's desire to start another war, but that only served to increase the latter's desire to go on along with his plan.

With Issei's power in his disposal, the Devils, Angels, and any other species would stand no chance against the Fallen Angels.

But Kokabiel couldn't dwell on that ambition yet. There were other ways he could start another Great War, and he had every intention of using the way he had started with.

He had already sent that bumbling stray exorcist and the bespectacled priest to steal three of the seven Excaliburs. All Kokabiel himself had to do was steal the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

One of the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan, the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi was originally called the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, which translated to "Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven".

Rumors stirred that after the Great War, the bodies of the Two Heavenly Dragons, Ddraig and Albion, were destroyed, and their souls were encased. Albion's soul was encased within a Sacred Gear, Kokabiel already knew that.

But Ddraig…

The Red Dragon Emperor was rumored to be sealed within the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. The Welsh Dragon wielded immense strength, possessing enough power to kill Gods or Satans. And not only that, but the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi enabled its wielder to control the wind and cause it to move in the direction of his/her swings.

Kokabiel was all too elated to even think clearly. While the boy could be used for another situation, with the Heavenly Dragon, Kokabiel had a great advantage in his favor.

The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi was sealed within the Ise Grand Shrine, the Shinto shrine dedicated to the Shinto Goddess known as Amaterasu-omikami.

All Kokabiel had to do was wait.

"Soon….that power will be mine. Then no one will be able to stop us!"

3 Days Later (At Kuoh Academy)

Walking into his class, Issei noticed that Yuuma Amano was once again absent. Raising an eyebrow, Issei turned to see Xuelan sitting at the desk next to his own. As they locked eyes, Xuelan quickly looked away.

Sighing, Issei walked over to his desk and put his bag down. Looking around his classroom, he noticed that he and Xuelan were the only ones in the class so far. Turning to look at Xuelan, Issei crossed his arms.

"All right. I know you didn't come here just to learn."

Xuelan locked her eyes into Issei's own, but she remained quiet.

"...What are you doing here, Xuelan?"

Her blue-green eyes appearing saddened momentarily, Xuelan sighed and held herself. But the Chinese Devil still didn't say anything.

Issei rose an eyebrow.

"Is this about Riser's possessions?"

"..."

"If it is, my answer won't change. I want nothing to do with them."

"...But you earned it."

"I didn't earn anything."

Xuelan looked away and held herself tighter.

"The rest of the girls…they don't know what to do."

"…"

"Without Riser-sama…..we're all so lost."

"I think it's quite clear that Riser didn't care that much about you and the rest of his peerage."

Xuelan widened her eyes and locked them towards Issei's stern orbs of sight.

"I-I…"

"If he really was the kind master you seem so eager to envision him as, he wouldn't have included his peerage into his bet with Sirzechs and his father."

Xuelan didn't know what to say. She wanted to deny what this boy said, but as she listened to Issei's words, she realized he was right.

Done with the conversation, Issei looked out the window, quietly observing the outside. Xuelan stared at Issei for a moment, and then she looked away, placing her hands on her desk.

2 Hours Later at the Grand Shrine of Ise

Kokabiel smirked as he shot another light spear towards the shrine. As he looked around the outside of the shrine dedicated to Amaterasu, he narrowed his eyes.

"That idiotic priest and that Holy Sword obsessed priest should be more than enough to handle those Devils at that school of theirs. No doubt, the Archangel Michael has already sent his subordinates to help the Devils. Humph, how pathetic."
