Kuoh Academy.
Sona arrived at the old school building.
"Sigh, why do we have to hold the meeting here?"
Sona sighed softly, feeling a little melancholic.
However!
It was simply the way things were, and there was nothing that could be done.
She could only discuss with Rias to finalize the entire meeting process.
Otherwise.
Any unexpected incident could turn into a major event.
Just as she was about to enter the old school building.
Suddenly.
A faint sound reached her ears.
"Hmm?"
What kind of commotion?
Sona's expression tightened, and her ears unconsciously perked up.
Clap clap clap!
"???"
Sona was full of question marks.
"When did Rias's Retainers start sparring in the clubroom?"
"Aren't they afraid of tearing down the Occult Research Club?"
After a few mumbles, Sona walked forward indifferently.
Inside the clubroom.
Alex raised an eyebrow, a playful smile curving on his lips.
Oh, good.
It was Sona.
After a moment's thought, Alex ignored it.
It wouldn't hurt to have one more spectator anyway.
At the same time.
Sona, who was walking normally, her expression became increasingly strange.
Why, besides the muffled thuds of bodies colliding, was there also Rias's high-pitched voice?
Could anyone among Koneko and Akeno be strong enough to beat Rias like this?
Just as doubt arose, the scene through the gap in the curtains made her freeze completely in place.
This, this, this, this!!!!
Gulp!
Sona unconsciously swallowed, completely dumbfounded.
If she wasn't mistaken.
The one pinned to the table should be Rias, right?
And.
Looking at Alex's tall and imposing figure, Sona clamped her thighs together, feeling dizzy.
Her eyes were dazed, and her breathing gradually quickened.
After listening for a while, she bent over and fled in a panic.
That afternoon!
Akeno looked at the white frost on Rias's crimson hair, and the rosy blush on her cheeks lingered.
She squatted on the ground, feeling a chill down below.
"Hmph..."
Akeno couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
Although she knew it was a bit wrong to do so, after watching the excitement once, it became increasingly uncontrollable.
Moreover... she sensed Rias's aura, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Why did President Rias's aura seem to have increased?
Was she too tired, and her aura was mistaken?
Or was it... no, how could such an absurd thing exist in the world?
However... it really was a bit strange.
Speaking of which.
Junior Linde's Retainers, each of their strength improvements, seemed like they were cheating.
For a moment.
Akeno fell into deep thought.
At dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the streets.
Alex, Vermouth, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Shiina Mahiru walked towards the sunset.
Yukinoshita Yukino carefully followed behind Alex.
"Master, are we really staying at the villa tonight?"
"I know your family is strict, but you should also communicate with your companions often."
"Or do you not wish to see me?"
"No, it's not like that."
Yukinoshita Yukino paused, and said softly, "It's just that I haven't prepared myself yet."
Being with her Retainer companions and such, she really couldn't bring herself to do it.
Seeing her like this, Alex smiled and said, "Don't worry, under normal circumstances, I respect the wishes of my Retainers."
"Mm."
Yukinoshita Yukino breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried.
After all, that night's experience...
It was truly unforgettable.
Sure enough, Senior Yukino hasn't been 'eaten' yet.
Shiina Mahiru was deep in thought.
For some reason, she also felt a slight sense of relief.
After all!
If it was her first time...
She also hoped for a beautiful memory.
On the other side...
Vermouth's gaze was subtle.
These two were rare species among the Retainers.
However, she knew very well...
All of the Retainers were the Master's wings.
It was only a matter of time before they completely fell.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out, and Vermouth suddenly bumped into a familiar back.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Rubbing her head, Vermouth was a little confused, and subconsciously followed Alex's gaze.
She only saw a man bathed in the setting sun at the end of the street.
He was a man with a heroic face and a head of silver hair.
"He's... a Devil?"
Vermouth frowned, a look of solemnity in her eyes.
Because of the Demon Mask's ability...
She was extremely sensitive to auras.
In her perception...
The opponent was simply terrifyingly powerful.
He was definitely the strongest person she had ever seen, apart from her Master.
And!
"Master, why is his aura so similar to the Boosted Gear?"
"You sensed it."
Alex glanced at Vermouth with some surprise, then smiled and said, "It's simple, because he is the White Dragon Emperor."
Vermouth's pupils constricted, and she subconsciously said, "The White Dragon Emperor, shouldn't he be a Fallen Angel?"
Out of professional habit...
She had always consciously collected information.
She knew very well...
This White Dragon Emperor was a big shot among the Fallen Angels.
"There's a reason for that, of course."
Alex shook his head: "Never mind, I'll tell you when I have a chance."
"Mm."
Vermouth stopped pressing, and instead stood guard in front of Alex.
Because she knew...
Her Master was the Red Dragon Emperor.
As one of the only two remaining Heavenly Dragons in the world...
The entanglement between the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor had continued for countless years.
Even if they were made into Sacred Gears...
Each of their hosts would continue this war.
The opponent's appearance...
Was definitely not friendly.
"Never mind, this isn't an opponent you can handle."
Alex patted Vermouth's shoulder and walked forward, saying, "You're here, presumably to wait for me, right?"
"That's right."
Vali smiled, the fighting intent in his eyes already palpable: "The new generation's Red Dragon Emperor, I've long heard your name, and now I can finally meet you."
The moment his voice fell, an indescribable surging aura already spread out.
The surrounding earth trembled because of it.
Crack, crack, crack!
Immediately after, Vali's entire body was covered in white armor.
Brilliant jewels adorned it, and four pairs of light wings emitted a surging pressure.
In an instant!
Vali had already entered his Balance Breaker state.
The declaration of war was imminent.
At the same time...
The jewel on the armor also flickered slightly, blooming with brilliant light.
"Red fellow, are you not even going to greet an old friend?"
The Heavenly Dragon Albion spoke unhappily: "Or are you looking down on me?"
Being underestimated by his old rival, his words were already full of anger.
"No, don't misunderstand."
Alex kindly explained: "Ddraig's will was completely annihilated the moment I became the Red Dragon Emperor."
"What do you mean?"
Albion's tone was somewhat sluggish.
"Still don't understand?"
Alex smiled: "That is to say, the Red Dragon Emperor's will has been completely killed by me."
Hearing Alex's words, Albion was already inexplicably shocked.
It had never thought...
That one day the Red Dragon Emperor would be killed by the Sacred Gear's host; this was truly too incredible.
"Hahaha, you fellow, you're really something."
Vali, however, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Even the original Red Dragon Emperor was killed by you."
"Indeed, this trip was truly not in vain."
