It was odd and… somehow upsetting.

"Your reserves were close to fully dry up," Azazel listed up with a quiet humming. "Your body was collapsing at the pressure and I had to employ the help of some old associates to get you in stable condition."

The man stared silently right onto the bandages applied to my body, then he looked up to my face as if trying to push the point deeper in my brain.

"You were throwing your life to just get a draw," He pointed out curtly. "One that was admirable mind you, but a silly and senseless one at best," The Governor-General sighed tiredly. "And… that made me consider something."

I blinked and he snorted at my confusion.

"You are dumb and inexperienced but you have potential to become someone important in this mad world," The Fallen Angel explained with a softer tone, a small smile playing on his face. "The kind of potential that, if carefully groomed, can bring you to achieve some impressive milestones."

Was he going to- No, that couldn't be it.

There was no way in Hell that Azazel himself was going to get me in Grigori.

Sure, the organization was a hub for anyone willing to side against Hell and Heaven (albeit formally considering the state of the factions' relationships).

"I know that you're the informant that revealed the plot Kokabiel is concocting as of now," He stated with undeniable certainty in his tone, causing me to look shocked at this certainty. "You made a great service for Grigori and, while I can't offer you much, I do think you would benefit to work with us."

What the-

"But not as a full worker," The leader of the group interjected suddenly, detailing his proposal. "I wish to have you as a… part-timer. Someone for minor missions and then, maybe after few years from now, as an associate affiliated to us."

I blinked, contemplating this offer in its entirety.

If I joined even part of Grigori, I would have to deal with long missions, face some big threats and… be sent away from Kuoh, possibly ruining my chances of keeping my general cover about my knowledge and interest in developing my abilities.

Still, the risks were worth some neat rewards as Grigori did have some brilliant teachers and many were researchers with a penchant of developing modern-based spells and magic-related technology.

"And before you ask- yes, we will have to first train you up before sending you in real mission," He snorted and shook his head. "As if I would send you, an inexperienced idiot with these suicidal tendencies, to fight for us in an official job."

I narrowed my eyes at the insults, starting to get offended by this easy-going skit he was trying to pull here.

"And I will also add up the premium offer of being trained by me, the grand and majestic Azazel, for a few days!" He proclaimed with unrestrained glee, then he sighed. "Just the time I will be there in Kuoh and then I will have someone else assigned to deal with you."

Someone else? And he wants to train me?

While one would easily accept at this point, the gains that I would receive from such offer way beyond what I could normally achieve on my own.

I was quite wary of being my butt-kicked by Azazel and given a full-treatment of his usually-abrasive personality, but I was pretty much sold at this point despite that unpleasant development.

The man might mean good things, but knowing that he did train Vali and the Host of the Vanishing Dragon appeared in Canon way over-powered already, I was aware that I was going to be suffering through those days if I said yes.

...Yet the benefits were still interesting as I would gain an edge for the incoming fights and prepare myself for the show's biggest threat.

By fighting Raynare this early, Gods know how much I twisted the current timeline because… the Chaos Theory.

Conflicted but somehow determined to not deny myself the little chance of advancing my growth even faster, I let out a single but careful nod, a gesture more than enough for the leader of Grigori to smile at and take it as a 'yes'.

"Good! Then I will call you… tomorrow morning to address your new schedule and… I think we are done for now."

He stood up from the bed and moved towards the door.

"By the way," Azazel stated with a small smile.

Oh Gods, what does he want now?

"While you were sleeping a young man and a cute girl decided to pass by and I think one of them is the owner of the Booster Gear, correct?"

I nodded again and his smile widened a little more.

"Well, I let them in and they are waiting outside."

He opened the door and the man left while waving back at me, letting the two visitors enter moments after.

Issei and Asia walked inside and stopped to stare at my current state, the young man's eyes widening as he tried to formulate any sentence, while the young nun gasping at the scene.

"Senpai!"

Goddammit! Now I have to deal with them worried kohais too…

The shining morning of this new day started with what was looking to be a particularly normal day in my life.

Now that Raynare and her group had been taken away from Kuoh Town, and with my cover remaining intact during and after the ordeal I had to face yesterday, I was ready to get few hours of relieving normalcy.

Planning to go at the Academy after my brief round of sickness, one of my main priority was to check and see how things had been going at the Student Council while I had been away.

Well, it was actually 'mostly normalcy' as I still had to give a tour around school to a thrilled Asia.

The blonde had excitedly explain how the strange but kind man (read as 'Azazel') told her that he would have had some words with the principal of the Academy to see her enrolled in the same year as Issei.
