Rias nodded. "Akeno and I will help too. That way, we can set up the barrier faster."
"Alright!" Sona Sitri nodded.
"To prevent any accidents, everyone should stay at the academy tonight. There are beds in the infirmary, enough for everyone to rest," Rias said. Since the other side had targeted Kuoh Academy, there was no telling what they might do. It was better to be cautious.
Then Rias and Akeno Himejima went with Sona Sitri and the others to set up the barrier. After Aisha treated Koneko Toujou and Yuuto Kiba, they were both too exhausted and went to rest.
Only then did Chen Fan remember the church duo. But it was already so late; they had probably finished their search by now, so there was no need to bother with them for the moment.
More than two hours later, Rias and the others finished setting up the barrier. The entire campus seemed to be enclosed in blue crystal, and those who had arranged it all breathed a sigh of relief.
Sona Sitri said, "This is all we can do in terms of pre-battle preparations. Even if fighting breaks out, it won't affect the town beyond the academy. However, maintaining the barrier during battle will require many people. Rias, when that time comes, we may not be able to help you deal with those Fallen Angels."
Rias smiled. "You've already done your very best. Your peerage was never suited for combat in the first place. Leave the fighting to us."
"Mm, I'm counting on you. Whether Kuoh Academy can be preserved depends on whether you can defeat those Fallen Angels."
"Since Chen Fan said that, he must have confidence in dealing with Kokabiel. As for his strength, I've never seen that guy go all out," Rias said.
