Author's note: hey dear readers, we meet again. It has really been a while hasn't it? Sorry definitely not enough because let you all down when I left this fic. There's a reason for it and I'll tell all of you about it. After BlazBlue CentralFiction ended tragically which I believe you all know what I mean. Even all he's been through, Ragna sacrifice himself for the greater good and because of that, I felt so sad because Ragna is one of the tragic hero I really like and I was so sad that I thought to bury this fic forever until by coincidence, I opened my mail and read about my followers who p.m me about the continuation of this fic. After all these years, there's still people asking for this fic and I felt so bad for letting you all down. This is actually my old docx I found in my laptop and I think it is about time I post it. Sorry for making you all waiting.

Chapter 08: the confrontation part 01

It's supposed to be a simple task for Rias Gremory and her peerage which is to eliminate the stray devil who reported killing her own master but was she so wrong about it when the stray devil who was supposed to be a piece of cake was not a simple task at all. Not when she used that strange enchantment of magic of hers. If it wasn't because of that strange white haired man, she and her peerage would be in big trouble.

Ragna. That is the name that has piqued her interest this past week. Who he was and where he came from no one knows about it even her best friend, Sona Sitri didn't know anything about him but one thing she knows for sure. He possessed the same strange magic as the stray devil but his magic is more potent than hers. Being one of the prodigies, she can easily see the difference earlier when Ragna fights the stray wasn't a fight anymore but more like a massacre when Ragna mercilessly shred the stray devil into pieces even when he had to protect Rias from the stray devil, he didn't get any scratches at all. She can see earlier how Ragna easily manifests that strange magic while the stray devil seems struggling to use it. What is more frightening is the moves Ragna used to defeat the stray devil. Every move Ragna uses to enhance his strength have this strange beast manifest in his attack and obviously she knew that every fighters have their own unique kind of magic for example hers is a kind of magic that obliterate everything on it's path thanks to her bloodline and the same goes to Akeno who uses the lightning magic but for some reason, Ragna is kinda special one.

It feels like the beast manifested from his magic is Alive. Those moments when the beast devoured half of the stray devil, she saw how the beast hungrily chewed her meat, it was so horrible to watch. Not to mention the red orbs that flew out from the stray devil and went into Ragna. What exactly are those red orbs and what is its function?Is it some sort of energy or something else?So many questions linger in Rias's mind and she can only get the answers she needed from that man himself.

"Buchou", Rias woke from her thoughts when she heard Akeno calling out for her. Her face clearly showed that she is worried about her which Rias smiles at her to ensure that she is fine while Akeno smiles back at her. Then she turned to look at her other peerage which shows the same concern about her. Again, she smiles at them to make sure that she is fine. Clear her throat, she speak,

" I'm pretty sure what we saw earlier have left us shocked of what Ragna-san capable of and this is dire situation, we have to make sure what we learned so far about him and to ensure is he a friend or an enemy,Akeno", Akeno turned at her best friend after Rias address her,

"Yes, buchou?",

"What you can tell from the fight earlier?",

"I'm sorry buchou, I can't tell you much. From my observation earlier, it seems that Ragna-san already mastered his own strange magic and how easily he used it to his advantage in battle.

At this, Rias nodded at her words and turn her head towards Kiba,

"And Kiba, do you get anything useful from the fight earlier?"

"Yes, buchou. Ragna-san is a capable fighter as he easily kills that stray devil and also if I'm not mistaken, a very experienced swordsman as well.", At his words, Rias can't help but ask,

"Swordsman you say?How can you tell from that fight, Kiba? Explain",

"Gladly, buchou. From the battle earlier, before he launched himself to attack, he tried to grab something behind his back and when he realized there's nothing behind him, he settled with a fist then. Even his stance before he engage in battle kinda similar to a swordsman but from where and what style he learn that, I don't know",

"Thanks, Kiba. That's very helpful.", Kiba simply nodded after she said her thanks.

"And Koneko?''She asked Koneko, who she nodded, already knew why her buchou addressed her. It tooks a moment before she answer with a single sentence,

"He is strong"is the only answer Koneko gives to her Buchou. Everyone else nodded at her answer except for Issei who sweat dropped on her answer.

'She really needs to socialize more', Issei thought before Rias addressed everyone else again. Issei on the other hand, did not hear Buchou's call but his gaze centered on the stray devil's is a voice in Issei's mind that tells Issei to go to the body and Issei follows as the voice directs. Suddenly his Sacred Gear shakes as if something is causing it to vibrate. Wondering what caused his Sacred Gear to vibrate, Issei began to look for the cause and the result made Issei's eyes widen before Issei called the others. The others started to gather when Issei called them and when they approached Issei asking him why he was calling them, Issei's answer was just to show his shaking Sacred Gear and the tools inside the stray Devil's body. Just like Issei, they also react in the same way because the device inside the devil stray emits some kind of magical power from it and they recognize the magic very well. It's the same magic that Ragna and the Stray devil used in their fight just least this answered one of their questions was how the stray devil could use the strange magic but many questions arose as to who invented this tool and how many more devices were installed on each stray devil that would one day pose a threat to the Three Fraction? Various questions play out in Rias's mind but surely the only way to get an answer is to meet Ragna himself who most likely knows the answer. After making her decision, Rias called for attention from her peers and said,

"All of you, we are going to see Ragna to solve this problem and hope that you are all ready for it".

I know it is a little bit short but I promise to all of you to post a longer chapter once I get my rhythm back. Until then.
